Hiya, Sprite! How are you and your beloved today?
1:00 am
sprite
*hugs Kam* We are good. My beloved is starting to have some upbeat moments every day, no longer the permanent gloom and doom. And I feel good. How are you and your beloved today?
1:01 am
Kamanjah
Nice to hear good news! "We" are approved for his surgery!! He's really excited. I am too, but I'm also frightened by the whole thing. I know it will work out, though.
1:02 am
sprite
oh wowwwww oh Kam, congratulations! That is amazing news!
And yes, I understand, it is also scary as hell. One step at a time, you will get through this together.
1:04 am
Kamanjah
Yes, we will! I had to talk him into seeing this new doctor too. He wasn't too keen on new ideas until he got to the point he couldn't do what he wanted to, physically. I hate PD, but I'm glad we got him to the right doctor in time!
1:05 am
sprite
that is why you are a team. Together you can make things happen that each alone wouldn't have had the wherewithall to aim for.
1:05 am
Kamanjah
It crawled along for 10-12 years and all of a sudden, bam! The medicine didn't work any longer. We have hopes of going back 10 years, but that's the "best case scenario." Even 2 years would be good!
1:06 am
sprite
here go prayers for the best-case scenario, honey. May the Big Guy see His way clear to give you the results you so very much deserve.
1:06 am
Speedie
Sorry, Kamanjah, just logged in. Your husband is getting DBS???
1:07 am
Kamanjah
Yes, we are a "unit." He has said that ever since we got together. I'm so glad we found each other. We have our moments, like everyone else, but it's just good to know we hold each other up :)
1:07 am
Kamanjah
Yes, DBS in May or June - don't have the exact date yet, the schedule at the hospital is still being worked out.
1:07 am
sprite
hey, every good relationship has its moments. We are human. It is the holding eachother up part that counts ;)
1:07 am
sprite
hi speedie
1:08 am
Kamanjah
I'm sorry to hear you even know about DBS, Speedie.
1:08 am
Speedie
I have a DBS unit.
1:08 am
Kamanjah
Yep, Sprite, the holding up part is so good!
1:09 am
Speedie
Thank you Kamanjah, for understanding what that means.
1:10 am
Kamanjah
OK, Speedie, I have to ask questions! How long, how is it working for you? How long ago were you diag, and all that, if you don't mind. I'm nervous about it, we're both excited at the possibilities. Do you have your voice still? My DH says he doesn't care if he has to whisper, as long as he can move again.
1:11 am
Speedie
I would rather speak separately - have you an e-mail address?
1:12 am
sprite
thanks for reaching out, Speedie. I know this means a lot to Kam, being able to speak with an experienced person about this!
1:12 am
Kamanjah
I certainly understand! Kamanjah@gmail.com
I really appreciate it!
1:14 am

cooee and g'day friends {{sprite}} {{kam}}. i see good news from both of you. hurrah !! for you all.

*hugs rose* hello my dearest friend, how are you feeling today? And how is your beloved doing?
1:15 am

well done, you

The Outhouse
Ma was in the kitchen fiddling around when she hollers out, "Pa! You need to go out and fix the outhouse!"
Pa replies, "There ain't nuthin wrong with the outhouse."
Ma yells back, "Yes there is, now git out there and fix it."
So Pa mosies out to the outhouse, looks around and yells back, "Ma! There ain't nuthin wrong with the outhouse!"
"Ma replies, "Stick yur head in the hole!"
Pa yells back, "I ain't stickin my head in that hole!
"Ma says, "Ya have to stick yur head in the hole to see what to fix."
So with that, Pa sticks his head in the hole, looks around and yells back, "Ma! There ain't nuthin wrong with this outhouse!"
Ma hollers back, "Now take your head out of the hole!"
Pa proceeds to pull his head out of the hole, then starts yelling,
"Ma! Help! My beard is stuck in the cracks in the toilet seat!"
To which Ma replies,"Hurts, don't it?!"
1:16 am
Kamanjah
Poor hubby still hasn't had a chance to talk to anyone who has DBS, only stories from relatives of people who have had both successes and not so good results. I guess it's a crap shoot, but it's a chance we have to take for the future.
1:16 am
Kamanjah
Hiya, rose!
1:17 am
sprite
Lolllllll oh rose!
1:17 am
sprite
how wonderful then, Kam, that you can email with Speedie. Isn't the babble community great?
1:18 am
Kamanjah
Agreed, Sprite! Wonderful people here...
1:18 am
grannyrose
so pleased Kam you have found someone who totally knows how you both are feeling.
1:20 am
sprite
am glad you took it very easy today, rose. How are you feeling?
1:20 am
Kamanjah
A few weeks back, someone called PD a "snowflake" - no two (cases) are alike - it moves at its own speed, everyone's body reacts differently.
1:21 am
sprite
so true. It is an ugly disease.
1:21 am
Kamanjah
And, how are you doing, Rose? Well, I hope! And keeping cool in front of the AC.
I dressed for the predicted 64F today, and when I got in the car it was 73F. Oops!
1:22 am
sprite
I am pretty sure our ruru is a groanist
1:23 am
grannyrose
not too bad sprite. feeling guilty that i am taking so much down time. . i love Lent and all the build up to Easter, especially our Lenten studies this year. but could the days please move just a little faster?
1:25 am
sprite
sweetie, throw the guilt out of the window, please. You need the downtime to stay healthy and alive. Give in and enjoy it *hugsssssssss* I know it is hard to make that switch. But please try. Feelings of guilt are useless and counterproductive.
1:25 am
sprite
are we into Lent already?
1:26 am
grannyrose
kam, the FM is pretty well under control thus far. and the cardiac rehab time in the gym is starting to pay off. i actually am feeling so much better.
1:27 am
grannyrose
yup sprite. Good Friday is March 30th.
1:27 am
Kamanjah
That's good news! Exercise helps our bodies feel better, it's just getting the "round tuit" in gear...
1:27 am
sprite
wow, time flies.
1:28 am
grannyrose
kam, i have had to turn around mythinking. as with the FM my muscles are already quivering all the time, i thought exercise would exacrbate the FM.
1:28 am
Kamanjah
My tuit has been broken the past couple of weeks...got busy a couple of days ago and have gotten stuff done! And today was the payoff - massage day, and then chiropractor. I feel SO much better!
1:28 am
sprite
wow, well done you too!
1:29 am
Kamanjah
Nope, the exercise stops the shaky legs. I worked out in the yard after our rains stopped for a couple of days - sore, but good sore. Legs feel stronger the more I use them.
1:31 am

1:53 am
Speedie
I am going to bed... If you have any further questions Kamanjah, just ask. Sprite, I wanted to acknowledge your thank you. I would just say, who would we be if we were not willing to help others?
1:53 am

you rock, Speedie. Be blessed, and sleep well.
1:53 am

WTG SPRITE !!! hugs dear friend... xoxox

Hope you're keeping warm, Ruby - from what I read the weather in the UK and Europe has been pretty awful.
6:26 am

6:28 am
rubyfoo
lt's been above freezing for almost a week and the snow is mostly gone
6:28 am
Lizlin
Great - so spring is coming for you. You'll soon have loads of lovely flowers in your garden.
6:29 am
rubyfoo
All the bulbs with buds got squshed by the snow, but they're making a comeback
6:30 am
Lizlin
It always amazes me how bulbs can survive heavy frost and then shoot again in the spring. So resilient.
6:33 am
rubyfoo
Friends brought me a lovely bouquet on Sun, but it was past its prime. l called the florist yesterday & he brrought me an enormous replacement bouquet: lillies, English roses and alstromeria, all in whitte. lt is magnifique!
6:33 am
Lizlin
Sounds beautiful - and quite right that the florist should replace it with fresh flowers. Cheeky to send flowers past their prime.
6:34 am
Lizlin
Or to make up a bouquet for your friends with flowers past their prime.
6:34 am
rubyfoo
l think it was because my friends are Moroccan and the clerk took advantage
6:35 am
Lizlin
Taking advantage is never the right thing to do.
6:36 am

I'm headed to bed with a book (well, my iPad). Have a lovely day, Ruby. Good to catch up with you - even briefly.

8:28 am
Trifioso
oh dear, penquis....we seem to have slowed down right now. Snow is VERY heavy, wet, and completely stuck to the trees, which, as we northerners know, means it will be sticking on the ground
8:28 am
BzznBea
It has been a brutal winter.
8:29 am
penquis
same here......i am sure some branches will come down in trees bordering the back yard....

we have power, for now, at least, so there is THAT. I really think I am going to have to get a generator. the storms are getting worse, lasting longer, and are more damaging
8:36 am

ok...I guess I am not seeing it right.
8:37 am

if you found a job and then got fired, the job would be un 5....you no longer have it...

as Bea said, it's a silly word....
8:37 am
rururocks
it is kind of like an ebonics word
8:38 am
penquis
i rarely lose power here because the wires are underground and I live on a main road...so if I lose it, it' not for long...
8:38 am
Trifioso
that is a blessing indeed, penquis
8:39 am
rururocks
I wonder why the power companies didn't put all the power lines underground to begin with
8:40 am
penquis
no idea...
8:41 am

I actually have the word , but the letters are only adding up to 8. I will keep looking at it. Bleh.
8:41 am

Do you think it could have something to do with newer technology. Are electric lines now fiberoptic?

9:23 am

That song was putrid. And Sonny could never carry a tune worth a damn.
9:24 am

If I whistle that in school my students will think I've lost my marbles.

Cher had some pretty putrid ones on her own as well. (Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves)

harry you can type words in the chat as much as you want just keep making sure they are words in the grid and words I haven't found yet
9:33 am

Yep. Once they installed the hot tub in the PB, the whole dynamic changed.
