good morning all

1:03 am

flosey

good morning Sprite

1:04 am

sprite

good evening, flosey. How are you doing today? I asked you yesterday about the doctor's appointments but it got lost in chog, I think. Or maybe you don't feel comfortable answering in chog?

1:07 am

flosey

Dr. ordered am xray but won't see him for results until 25th!! obviously nothing of concern

1:07 am

flosey

an, not am

1:08 am

sprite

ah, that sounds good. As long as they don't rush you through it, they are not worried :)

1:08 am

sprite

I haven't forgotten the translations for the recipes, flosey, just haven't had time yet. Will do it this week.

1:10 am

flosey

true - so no explanation re so many headaches - perhaps just need more sleep - certainly do have to sign up for exercise class again - have been intending to do so for quite some time now - too easy to let it go!!

1:12 am

sprite

very true. Doing the things that are good for us are hard when they are no fun doing :) Maybe you can find something physical to do that you enjoy? Swimming or walking or dancing?

1:12 am

flosey

don't worry about the recipes Sprite - just whenever you have a bit of free time

1:12 am

sprite

this week looks good. Just a meeting today, and a chat shift for the volunteer job on wednesday. Friday I will go to an OA retreat in Germany, back on Sunday.

1:13 am

flosey

I walk every day Sprite - really not great on swimming, although that was one exercise class I did attend a few years back

1:13 am

flosey

OA?

1:14 am

sprite

walking in a brisk step is the very best excercise one can get, I am certain of it. My grandparents did it every day and it was amazing how fit they stayed.

1:14 am

flosey

anything starting with OA around here refers to Old Age!!!

1:14 am

sprite

overeaters anonymous. Kind of like the AA but for people with eating disorders.

1:15 am

sprite

*giggles* well, that too would be fitting, I guess.

1:16 am

sprite

and dancing? You might enjoy line dance, or sacred dance.

1:16 am

sprite

brb, I think I hear my beloved, which means he stayed home sick.

1:17 am

flosey

ah!!! have not heard of such!! probably because I've been thin most of my life - ONCE only, I blimped out - when we firt moved out here - got rid of it as fast as I could

1:18 am

Tinter

1:20 am

sprite

was just in time to see him drive away, terrible man. He was sick yesterday, didn't sleep much, and now off to work. And he is 60+, sigh...

1:20 am

sprite

hiya bethn

1:20 am

flosey

have never heard of sacred dancing - sounds odd to me - was raised in a somewhat strict religion - didn't approve of dancing!! so didn't learn until later than one would usually learn - line dancing sounds like it could be fun

1:20 am

bethn

Hi sprite! pB for me

1:20 am

sprite

sacred dance might be great for you. It is praying with your body.

1:21 am

sprite

hehehe, best place in babble is the PB, beth :)

1:21 am

flosey

Will your hubby retire at 65 Sprite?

1:22 am

sprite

I wish, flosey. They raised the retirement age to 67,5. And there are rumours of it being raised even further.

1:22 am

flosey

wow, that is not reasonable - in my opinion!!

1:23 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more. It is all about money. As usual, they cannot look further than the length of their noses... because making people work for longer than is healthy, will only make for higher medical co5.

1:24 am

flosey

I was going to retire earlier than I did - a few of the nurses advised me to work until 60 at which age one gets a pension - sounded good to me!

1:24 am

flosey

thanks for the co

1:25 am

sprite

indeed. It used to be 60 here, and if you wanted, you could quit as early as 58, with a slightly lower pension. My beloved is so ready to stop working. But he can't without losing his income.

1:25 am

sprite

ah, yvw ;)

1:28 am

sprite

I would have sworn that sanitor is a word. Like a cleaning guy?

1:29 am

flosey

lol, we could make up a few words, with a bit of imagination!!

1:30 am

sprite

:D I retyped it three times because I was sure it had to take. Didn't.

1:31 am

flosey

59 to go but I think I'd better get to bed and face them tomorrow

1:31 am

flosey

good night all

1:31 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey, with lovely dreams *hug*

1:32 am

flosey

thanks Sprite and hugs back

1:45 am

grannyrose

hi sprite. hugs honey.

1:46 am

sprite

rose! *hugsssss* sweetie. Haven't seen you in ages. Are you and Don okay?

1:46 am

sprite

fireflies

1:46 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

1:47 am

grannyrose

nope. he's still coughing, i'm still in pain and sleep deprived on top of that. that's why i've stayed out of chat.

1:51 am

sprite

aw my dear friend. *holds rose in a good hug*

1:52 am

sprite

when will you see dr John?

1:53 am

grannyrose

thanx sweetie. i hate dragging chat down. beginning of october was the earliest but on cancellation list.

1:54 am

sprite

good, I hope someone will cancel today. And darling, you never drag chat down. Please keep joining in so that we can make you feel supported and loved and wanted.

1:56 am

grannyrose

xoxox sweetie.

1:56 am

sprite

what can I do to help you?

1:58 am

grannyrose

honey, i really don't know. as i said sleep deprivation has me holding onto my sanity by my fingertips. i feel so tearful. and i am trying so hard not to resent don's coughing but in the wee small hours that is very difficult.

2:00 am

sprite

is there a way for you to sleep in separate rooms for a few nights?

2:01 am

grannyrose

too cold. our bedsit area is the only warm part of the house. besides what if he chokes while coughing. no, i have to be near him.

2:02 am

sprite

he's not gonna choke, darling. And I bet you'd be much more of a help to him if you slept through the night. Aw my dear rose... wish I was closer to you so I could help out.

2:06 am

grannyrose

sweetie this is asthma in it's worst form. he coughs until he empties his lungs of air, and because of the spasms he cannot breathe in.

2:08 am

sprite

when it is that serious, your doctor should step in. That is worrisome, sweetie. What does your doctor say?

2:11 am

grannyrose

he needs to use his ventolin nebs and puffer. he won't listen to me when i say you need the nebuliser. he says he needs to keep coughing and i am saying you need to stop coughing and take some deep breaths. *sigh*

2:11 am

sprite

*holds rose*

2:15 am

grannyrose

*snuggles in4 sprite*

2:18 am

grannyrose

i can't seem to make him understand that what he describes as a "plug" he needs to cough up is actually a spasm which needs to be stopped.

2:18 am

sprite

indeed. Honey, I have to run, sorry. *hugs* and all the best to you both. will pray for you

2:19 am

grannyrose

sorry to dump on you honey. hope your day goes well. xoxox

2:19 am

grannyrose

sorry to dump on you honey. hope your day goes well. xoxox

I don't think I've ever heard such a song

10:42 am

dianedecoder

10:43 am

Was that Herman's Hermits that sang that song?

10:43 am

flosey

rururocks

(well... HE is a bit late)

10:43 am

bichon

Judi, ould you clue it in a different way. I doen't even know who Herman's Hermits are

10:45 am

Judi

Four identical babies would be qu**tuplets.

10:46 am

bichon

I have that one, need the second one

10:46 am

Haz1558

Manfred Mann sang the song.

10:47 am

Judi

Add a non-plural consonant to the end of the four babies.

10:47 am

Judi

"C'mon without. C'mon within. You aint seen nothing like the mighty qu4."

10:48 am

bichon

qu 5/16, second one, pls

10:48 am

Manfred Mann had the best known version....I have it in my music files by 4 artists....Bob Dylan actually wrote it.

10:49 am

PMS

Asci

10:50 am

Judi

Wow, Diane. I didn't know that. Surprised that Dylan wrote it. It's a shit song, really.

10:50 am

dianedecoder

Playing it now

10:50 am

rururocks

<---liked Manfred mann

10:52 am

Judi

lol. Diane's having a nostalgic moment.

10:52 am

dianedecoder

Bob Dylan sounds stoned ....but that was just his style. Making me chuckle as I listen to him.

10:52 am

rururocks

... blinded by the light was my favorite song by him

10:52 am

dianedecoder

I have thousands of songs on my computer....I won't tell you HOW many thousand !

10:56 am

dianedecoder

Blinded by the Light.....the one with the famous "miss-heard" line..lol

10:56 am

Judi

Everyone mis-heard the same line, Diane.

10:58 am

flosey

fw - whew, at long last!! last word an5/10 - will I ever remember that one!

10:59 am

dianedecoder

You are so right, Judi ;-)

I have qu5/16: antiquated term for gay person.

11:12 am

bichon

ty Judi, you are the best

11:12 am

Judi

Off I go to lunch. Good luck to all.

11:14 am

rururocks

I am not aware of a mis-heard line?

11:15 am

MollyL

Most people think it's "wrecked up like a douche"

11:16 am

MollyL

Sorry, revved up like a douch (the real line is deuce)

11:17 am

MollyL

Cut loose like a douche, whatever. Deuce is a car racing term that (obviously) most people don't know

11:18 am

MollyL

But they should because most people get Little Deuce Coupe lyrics right.

11:18 am

rururocks

oh.. that's all new to me...

11:19 am

rururocks

I always thought it was deuce

11:19 am

MollyL

I think it's funny that the web site for mis-heard lyrics is kissthisguy.com. Most people don't understand Kiss The Sky in the Hendrix song.

11:19 am

rururocks

my friends always thought the same thing.. I'm not sure about my enemas :D

11:20 am

MollyL

Keep your friends close and your enemas even closer
