good morning all

1:48 am

ks killed

1:55 am

grannyrose

i spy with my little eye something beginning with s...

1:55 am

sprite

it's me, it's me! *jumps up and down and waves*
Hello darling, how was your day?

1:57 am

grannyrose

*waving back* lollll quite nice actually. bitterly cold even for me. went out to a local tavern for lunch and then a nice drive through very wet, green scenery.

1:57 am

sprite

sounds good, apart from the cold then.

1:59 am

grannyrose

we were just a tad stir-crazy...

1:59 am

grannyrose

and you sweetie. how are you going?

1:59 am

sprite

I thought that was normal for you two? *ducks*

2:00 am

sprite

I am good. Slept okay, feeling up to my tasks for today.

2:00 am

grannyrose

*picks up angled water pistol* squirt, squirt

2:00 am

sprite

not the hair, not the hair!

2:01 am

grannyrose

*aims discreetly at sprite's decolletage* gotcha

2:01 am

sprite

*eeeeeeeks* that is cold!

2:02 am

grannyrose

well i never... i had my eyes closed too..

2:02 am

sprite

:D

2:03 am

sprite

not as friendly a grid as yesterday's, is it? Still, always fun to see there is a tr5/10 in babble that nobody minds seeing there

2:03 am

grannyrose

yeah, i had a giggle when i saw it.

2:04 am

sprite

we lived down cyber booh lee and alters, we can manage a simple tr5/10

2:06 am

grannyrose

yay us, we're the best... we are the champions..

2:07 am

sprite

*grins* the english word 'champions' is very close to the dutch word 'champignons' which means mushrooms. Somehow it doesn't sound as heroically when I sing "Weeeee are the little mushrooms..... my friends....."

2:10 am

grannyrose

lolll

2:19 am

sprite

oh I don't think I told you yet... or did I? About the last time I had my nails done?

2:21 am

grannyrose

yes you did. your reaction to the work done? have you had any satisfaction from the manicurist yet?

2:22 am

sprite

ah ok, didn't remember if I told you. Well, at least she finally managed to ask how things were going and how I was doing. I'll be going to somebody else in future though.

2:23 am

grannyrose

good for you. if she hadn't been so defensive would have been much nicer though

2:23 am

sprite

absolutely. Am thinking of going over there one more time to say goodbye and talk it out. Might give her a few pointers for future occasions.

2:24 am

grannyrose

wish i could be a fly on the wall..

2:24 am

sprite

:D so do I!

2:28 am

sprite

will call Dienie after babble and ask for the telephone number of her nail lady. And to fix a time to visit Dienie and Frank. Just before we went on vacation, Dienie told me Frank has been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Oncologist says there is a very good chance he will recover.

2:28 am

sprite

still, it is scary as hell

2:29 am

grannyrose

poor dienie and hubby. it is hell on earth what they have now got to go through. will hold them up in prayers. please keep me in the loop honey.

2:30 am

sprite

will do, hun. They can use the prayers. As you say, not a fun ride to go on.

2:33 am

grannyrose

btw i was so chuffed after my first run through the grid. i looked up to find i had only 29 words to go. couldn't believe it.

2:34 am

sprite

oh wow! You did much better than I then. I only had a little over half. Though I did find the 8 and 2x7 among them.

2:34 am

grannyrose

well done you... and you found those wretched k words too

2:35 am

sprite

yeah but that is easy... they are always the first ones I find. Won't go on babbling until I find them.

2:37 am

grannyrose

i am finding more and more that i am usually have on4 1 or 2 words to find from each tile... and SOMETIMES i even grey a tile on the way.

2:38 am

sprite

wow, you are growing strong!

2:39 am

flosey

hi there Rose and Sprite, was rushing to get a start on this grid, 100 down and off to bed

2:39 am

grannyrose

still no way as fast as you though

2:39 am

sprite

good job, flosey, and sleep well! *hug*

2:39 am

grannyrose

yay for flosey. hugs and kisses to send you off to dreamland.

2:40 am

flosey

thanks Sprite and Rose, and you have a good day

2:40 am

sprite

I have a few years on you, rose.

2:40 am

grannyrose

i don't think i told you what i had for lunch did i?

2:41 am

sprite

no, not yet. Tell me!

2:41 am

grannyrose

thick beef sausages on a bed of mashed potato with mushy peas.... and gravy

2:41 am

sprite

omg.... drooooool

2:41 am

grannyrose

soooo yummy

2:42 am

sprite

fireflies. Good grid, but not as much fun as yesterday's for me

2:42 am

grannyrose

never have any of that here at home. it was such a treat.

2:42 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!

2:43 am

sprite

2:43 am

sprite

hi all

9:45 am

car.eeyore

Hello everyone

9:54 am

SamanthaJoy

yo yo yo car 'sup?

10:00 am

car.eeyore

Not me...that is fo' sho! I could sleep for a week.

10:01 am

MLFAN17

hi car hi sue

10:02 am

SamanthaJoy

I felt that way all day yesterday. I'm blaming it on allergys.

Today I took meds and the world is GLORIOUS.

10:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh hi sue! I didn't see you over there.

10:04 am

car.eeyore

Hello Sue, MLFan

10:06 am

MLFAN17

Samantha is a little happy today:)

10:06 am

gramma

you could speak to a man in jamaica - best clue ever! After I quit looking for patois.

10:07 am

MLFAN17

hi gramma

10:08 am

gramma

Hi.

10:08 am

SamanthaJoy

It's amazing what a handful of tiny pills can do for you, y'know? Yesterday I was a tired lump that couldn't quit sniffling. Today: THE WORLD

10:09 am

gramma

I'm in Cleveland w/hubby. He is having a heart catheterization today.

10:09 am

car.eeyore

I'm happy you found relief!

10:09 am

car.eeyore

Oh dear. Will lift you all up Gramma.

10:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, gramma, I'm sorry to hear that. I do hope all goes well.

10:09 am

gramma

I am really scared.

10:10 am

SamanthaJoy

Mind, all those pills aren't helping with the grid. I have 96 left and I'm about to go to Lickety; I'm stumped.

10:10 am

gramma

He comes from a long line of short livers.

10:10 am

SamanthaJoy

I understand, gramma. It's really scary. All the numbers about hwo safe it si don't help.

10:11 am

SamanthaJoy

Do you want distraction? Sympathy? Virtual hugs?

10:11 am

car.eeyore

((gramma))

10:12 am

gramma

The doc said yesterday - 1 out of 200 have an issue. I thought he said 1-2 out of a hundred and I freaked a bit inside.

10:12 am

gramma

I'm just going to babble along until we have to go.

10:13 am

SamanthaJoy

Yeah, 2% is different from half a percent, fer sher! Though I'd rather just skip the issue altogether, you know?

10:13 am

gramma

We have spent the last 42 years together and I just have him where I want him.

10:14 am

SamanthaJoy

My husband went through surgeries a few years ago. It's scary, no matter how minor the procedure.

10:15 am

gramma

It's only minor if it isn't you or someone you love.

10:15 am

SamanthaJoy

You're not going to be alone up there, are you? You have someone around to hold a hand?

10:16 am

gramma

The kids offered but I didn't believe that anything was wrong. My husband calls me Pollyanna.

10:17 am

SamanthaJoy

How long is the procedure going to take? In my experience they'll let you sit with him up until the last possible moment.

10:18 am

gramma

We don't know how long because we're not sure what is going to happen. 3 scenarios. 1. all's well and we go home. 2. They put in stents if they need to. 3. Bypass surgery if they don't like what they find.

10:19 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, I see. This is diagnostic as much as anything else, then.

10:20 am

gramma

Yes. He's been having issues so we came here for a second opinion and we're glad we did.

10:20 am

SamanthaJoy

Second opinions often turn out well. M and I had to be browbeaten into getting one when he had his issues, but it was a good choice.

10:21 am

SamanthaJoy

Where are you now?

10:21 am

gramma

Cleveland Clinic is an amazing facility.

10:22 am

SamanthaJoy

Yes! It is! I know people in the area and it's got an amazing reputation.

10:22 am

SamanthaJoy

Like, it's completely worth traveling to.

10:22 am

gramma

The one thing that gives me comfort is that we couldn't have picked a better place.

10:22 am

ursh

Good vibes to you gramma - you lucky I have been with my DH for 46 years and he still won't do what I want

10:23 am

gramma

It was a 10 hour car ride but it went by quickly.

10:23 am

SamanthaJoy

Do you like to drive? It's relaxing for me.

10:23 am

gramma

My husband researched and found this on his own.

10:24 am

gramma

I downloaded a bunch of podcasts and that helped to kep us entertained.

10:24 am

SamanthaJoy

Yeah? What kind do you like listening to?

10:24 am

gramma

We are avoiding the Trump news as it is too upsetting.

10:25 am

SamanthaJoy

No kidding. As much as anything else, I resent the fact that when I'm in a bad mood I can't tell whether it's hormonal or just a compeltely rational reaction to listening to the news.

10:26 am

gramma

Dear Sugar, and This American Life, and No Such Thing as a Fish.

10:26 am

gramma

Any suggestions for others?

10:26 am

SamanthaJoy

"No Such Thing As A Fish"? What is THAT? I love the name but have no idea what it might be referring to.

10:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, the podcasts I listen to aren't for everybody. I love Welcome to Nightvale, but its sort of bizarre surrealistic humor is not to everyone's taste

10:28 am

gramma

They talk about some really random things and explore it beyond my capablities. It's very informative and fun.

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

And I have another I listen to, but it's (sort of) political; it's by a historian, who puts modern political events into historical contexts, and talks about times when this has happened before, and how it worked out.

10:29 am

SamanthaJoy

I love it for its name: It's called "My History Can Beat Up Your Politics"

10:29 am

gramma

What's the name of that one?

10:29 am

gramma

Got it. I'll check it out.

10:30 am

You might try Radiolab, maybe: They cover a wide variety of stuff, so occasionally they'll get into current events, but they also do history and just funny stories.

8:19 pm

Bugsaw

hope you are well

8:20 pm

welki

had a scare with baxter last week, ru. i'm going to hell for it. i was talking with husband and accidentally gave him my pill instead of his.

8:20 pm

rururocks

*loves his view*

8:20 pm

welki

i'm okay, bugs - and the dog is on the mend

8:21 pm

rururocks

Oh jeez.

8:21 pm

rururocks

Is he ok now?

8:21 pm

welki

moral of the story - human pills/dog pills shall not share counter space

8:21 pm

Bugsaw

OMG you must have panicked

8:21 pm

rururocks

Oh i know that one

8:22 pm

welki

6am at the vet in my pajamas - i think he'll be fine. one last blood test in about 2 weeks to make sure

8:22 pm

rururocks

What did he take?

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

that would be the only time I am glad cats refuse to eat pills

8:22 pm

welki

500 mg naproxen (naprosyn)

8:23 pm

rururocks

Ooh

8:23 pm

welki

(instead of his apoquel)

8:23 pm

rururocks

Oooh

8:23 pm

rururocks

I am sorry welki

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

did he notice?

8:24 pm

welki

thanks, ru. i'm sure you know how much of a giant turd i feel like

8:24 pm

rururocks

Been there

8:25 pm

welki

no, he didn't notice, he was happy the whole way through. he'll be on meds for a total of two weeks, and we're hoping i didn't cause any long term damage. welki, the dog poisoner. (better than the dog murderer, i guess)

8:26 pm

rururocks

Fluids Welki. Lots of fluids

8:26 pm

welki

bugs, he was at the vets, after puking his guts up, drooling activated charcoal - and wagging his tail like he was at a party

8:26 pm

welki

yeah, ru - watching for kidney issues

8:26 pm

rururocks

God. I am sorry.

8:26 pm

Bugsaw

don't worry welki. I got that lecture about being a dog poisoner and felt all that guilt when I was 4 and painted a Great Dane dog with green house paint.

8:27 pm

rururocks

Yikes

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

he did't notice either

8:27 pm

welki

my husband, bless his welki-loving-soul, said, 'shit happens, could have been me'

8:28 pm

Bugsaw

poor Baxter. good thing is he won't remember and dogs don't hold grudges.

8:29 pm

welki

there was a gorgeous great dane at the vets - lots of beautfiul animals there, i got to see a lot of them (since i spent hours and hours there - in my charcoal dotted pajamas - folks must have thought i was -- well who knows what they though (and who cares))

8:29 pm

welki

and ru - the vet commented on what a well bred dog he is - nice to hear

8:30 pm

welki

you're right, bugs - he's happy to be home (he was there for two days). typical golden, just a joy

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

go easy on yourself. spending a day at the vets in your pjs is penance enough

8:35 pm

welki

thanks, bugs, but i won't be relieved until the next blood panet comes back clear

8:36 pm

Bugsaw

I would be just the same. here's to an early All Clear
