TraderKate

That shou8ld be a great trip melon... a tad warm, but what an experience....and you will be all sparkly and effervescent and everything ;)

12:25 am

melonheadjujube

That's the plan. My shoes are a tad sensible, but hey, the better to dance in! I'll probably bring my Bloch split-sole dance sneakers. They're clunky-cool.

12:27 am

TraderKate

You can't "hora all night" in six inch spikes... good plan! (and they just take up luggage room ( one wear but space in suitcase.) The sneaks sound like a great idea - comfies just in case :)

12:27 am

TraderKate

Will you be spending some extra time there to tour around?

12:29 am

melonheadjujube

The wedding party has planned day trips for us. And I will be meeting up with a fellow Babbler!

melonheadjujube

My son and I are staying steps from the beach, so I'll loll in the sand a bit, too.

gapeach

Good morning all. May I please have a clue for pr6-21? Thanks

3:27 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Gapeach I have just started but will look with you.

3:28 am

gapeach

Hi there, zooz. Thank you. How is your mother?

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Mother seems to be doing better at the moment. So I am hoping the medicine she is taking is doing the job! Thank you for asking.

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Hope all is wel with you?

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Okay I have found a pr 6/21

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Do you have the PR 7/21 food source for amino acids like meats etc ?

3:30 am

gapeach

Doing better also. It was a little rough when we had 3 weeks of rain. Difficult to breathe. Better now. Thanks.

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Good to hear, Gapeach!

3:31 am

gapeach

I don't have the pr6-21, zooz.

3:32 am

zoozzoom

I know but do you have the PR 7/32?

3:33 am

zoozzoom

Oh I see yehh sorry I put pr 7/21 instead of pr 7/32

3:33 am

gapeach

No, the last pr6 is pr6-30.

3:33 am

zoozzoom

If you have the PR 7/32 just take away the last letter.

3:34 am

zoozzoom

The pr 7/32 is a food source the provides amino acids like meats...Your body needs vitamins and PR 7 to live. And PR7 is mostly from meats.

3:36 am

zoozzoom

PR 6/21 not amatuer + first two letters of the number after nine + 3rd vowel

3:36 am

gapeach

Will you "dumb it down" please.....I'm in the half asleep stage..LOL

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Just did below your latest commetn, Gapeach :-)

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Comment*

3:37 am

gapeach

Oh, I see it now. tein

3:38 am

zoozzoom

Yep take away the N and you have the pr 6/21

3:38 am

gapeach

Got both of them. Thanks so much.

3:38 am

zoozzoom

You are more than welcome :-)

3:39 am

TraderKate

good morning zooz and peach :)

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello, TK :-)

3:41 am

gapeach

I think I'd better hit the pillows now....too sleepy to concentrate. Oh, Hi there, Kate. Blessings all.

3:41 am

TraderKate

Niters peach, sleep well!

3:42 am

zoozzoom

Hope you have a nice deep sleep, Gapeach. Wake up full of beans in the morning!

3:42 am

TraderKate

I see your mum is doing better now zooz-good news!

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is bless her...She worries a lot with dad being frail so will be nice for her to try and get back to some sort of normality.

3:46 am

TraderKate

so the pills are really helping with her pain? (assuming she still refuses to consider surgery...) It must be so frustrating for them, when they aren't as spry as they once were. Is father's hernia healing at all? It must be so di8fficult for you to manage, but at least you have the time to see to them properly. :)

3:47 am

zoozzoom

The conversation over what to eat is always the same every single day. It goeas as follows and these are the exact words. ME : What would both both like to eat today" Mother : " Not sure what are you having" (that is to my dad) : Dad " don't know what are you going to have"

3:48 am

zoozzoom

And then they repeat the same a over again and then they settle on roughly the same as what they had the day before and the day before that. The only time they will eat anything different is when I do a Sunday roast.

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Yes I think she will still need to have surgery at some point though.

3:50 am

TraderKate

LOL zooz - so the key to a long, happy marriage is to not put anyone out, always consider your partner's wishes (and go along if you don't have a strong opinion) :D

3:51 am

zoozzoom

I think you have it in a nutshell, TK LOL

3:52 am

zoozzoom

I can not suggest any foods as they do not like any of them lol plus dad will not eat anything that has flavour and mother is too worried to eat anything out of the norm incase it usets her stomach etc.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

So for dad it is always mash potato fried egg and mushy peas of which he winds them all up into a heap and eats it..YUCK!

3:53 am

TraderKate

It's likely that their tastebuds aren't what they once were... perhaps give them a little curry take away one day, just as a change?
Does this mean that your mum *might* consider the surgery at some point? Really, the sooner, the better...and then she will be well on her way back to her "normal". I hope she thinks about it more.

3:54 am

TraderKate

Cottage pie perhaps?
(can't stand meals being mucked about on the late, it's very unappetising to me...)

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Curry is 100% out of the question for them ( I love curry)

3:56 am

TraderKate

I love a good curry too. Have been vraving one for ages. Just bought a butter chicken cooking sauce, as there's no Indian in this little town. Going to cook up sime basmati and have a feast :D

3:56 am

zoozzoom

I have spoken to mother about all the pros and cons of the surgery but it is her decision in the end. But it is very frustrating when they seem not to want to help themselves. I know she will be scared but not sure what else to do but hope.

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Sounds delish, TK Hope you enjoy when you do it!

3:58 am

TraderKate

She did seem quite adamant about "the knife" but perhaps it will sink home that the incision is small and recovery is much quicker... I hope she accedes - it is to both their advantage fi she does it.

4:00 am

TraderKate

I really felt like a lamb curry or tika masala, but the little store I was in didn't have any of those... *sighh* the trials and tribulations of living in a small town with limited groceries...strictly white bread here ;)

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Yep that is what I tell her. what would you rather all this pain and not eating what you want to eat all the time or a quick snip and a coupe of weeks of dis-comfort and then back to normal. But talking about it is easy...doing it is a different story.

4:01 am

TraderKate

From what I have gathered, it's not so much the being put under, as the cut itself - is that right? Everyne has their thing that they really don't want to deal with.

4:02 am

TraderKate

Let's hope the meds she has do help. She must keep up her strength or surgery won't even be possible. I am sorry for her pain and hope that there is some relief for all of you soon.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Yeah I think it is the thought of going under as she has been in her younger days and was sick as a dog for ages afterward and also the thought of a knife cutting into her.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

Bonjour

4:03 am

TraderKate

Her doctor should know that zooz. Some people have nasty reactins to some anesthesia - but there are alternates that can be used...your mom should know that too.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

Who are you tlking about?

4:04 am

TraderKate

{{{(((ruby)))}}}

4:04 am

zoozzoom

We are not that far yet. She had to have cameras where no one wants cameras but on the day her blood pressure was too hight so she has had to go away and take tablets to lower it. This is going to drag on and on I can see it.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby!

4:04 am

zoozzoom

My mother, Ruby.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

134 wors earlier, but life got in the way. 3 nurses and my Jérome

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Lets talk about something else I bet her ears are burning red.

4:05 am

TraderKate

I do remember that zooz - what a big to-do all for nothing... and so much trouble just to get her there,.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

Oh my, l'm sorry she has to go through someething at her (my) age.

4:06 am

TraderKate

Life getting in the way is good ruby! I am glad to hear that...and Jerome (is he your new gardener gent?)

4:07 am

rubyfoo

No, Jérôme comes 4X/week for a 15 minute massage. lt's very pleasant & he's really kind (and big ads a beear, so gives great hugs!).

4:07 am

zoozzoom

I was trying to get the word odea to take and cold not understand why it wouldn't until I realised it is a D not na O LOL

4:08 am

TraderKate

Poor zooz needs a cuppa!

4:08 am

TraderKate

oh ruby... I forgot about the massage - you are soooo spoiled! (and HUGS too!!!!)

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Ooh, Ruby! You must be all relaxed now after that massage.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

The nurses arrived at 8, much too early! So it threw off ther wholemorning

4:10 am

TraderKate

I saw a post about your heron coming for breakfast again. Glad to see he is still a regular. I guess the pups don't bother with him?

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Ah well at least that is out of the way.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

I bet the fish don't see it that way, TK :-)

4:11 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has a specialbark when he sees the heron, he gets upset, but stays on the deck, j_st watching and barking

4:11 am

TraderKate

The nurses seem to pop in whenever it suits them ruby - sometimes you wasit and wait... no real schedule for them except for the days (not the time)?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

Exactly and l can't rush too much and risk falling down the stairs

4:12 am

TraderKate

LOL zooz, I'm sure Mr. Heron doesn't give a fig for what his breakfast is thinking :D

4:13 am

TraderKate

Quite right ruby. You take your time. If they can't give you a head's up, then they may just have to wait upon your convenience ;)

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Just nipping off to make a fresh cup of rosie lee!

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Just nipping off to make a fresh cup of rosie lee!

4:14 am

TraderKate

Mmmmmm :D
Nothing like a good cuppa to get the little grey cells energised!

4:15 am

rubyfoo

The heron is so beautiful that l don't begrudge him

4:16 am

TraderKate

We have some here too ruby, though I don't often catch a glimpse of them..grey, blue and i saw a green one once! (not so common here)

4:18 am

rubyfoo

As he flies off, l can see his blue "shoulders", otherwise he's all white and very big

4:19 am

TraderKate

They are so majestic.. I love to see them in flight or even wading for their dinner...

4:20 am

TraderKate

Are you getting your evergreens wrangled and tamed?

4:22 am

rubyfoo

They carried away a couple of truckloads and the garden looks much better -- the roses have room to display their loveliness

4:23 am

TraderKate

What kind of roses do you have ruby? I think you mentioned some white ones?

4:24 am

TraderKate

...and you said your peonies were in bloom too? (Ours are barely a clump of green stalks at this point - far too soon sor buds yet)

4:24 am

TraderKate

*for

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Back. what have I missed..checking.

4:26 am

TraderKate

I am disheartened (PB) here... the landlord (who knows nothing about gardening has rototilled all the beef steak tomato seedling under, along with some muscari that I rescued from the lawn...) grrr :(

4:27 am

rubyfoo

not many white just red, deep red, light red, sélmon, purplish pink, salmon and pale pink climbers next tto the fig

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Ha! cell in my case, TK not cells.

zoozzoom

I should leave you two to chat for a bit. Dawn chorus is in full swing here and I am really tired.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

l'm having trouble typing on this damned laptop

4:29 am

TraderKate

LOL zooz, we all know you have many more than one little grey cell. Perhaps they are just taking a little rest? Tea will revive them!

4:31 am

TraderKate

YOur morning was sent akilter ruby. No wonder you are h aving trouble. I had to wait quite a while to have words accepted today and the chat was taking a long time to take the input after I hit "enter"

4:32 am

TraderKate

Does anyone want a clue before I pack it in?

4:33 am

rubyfoo

52 left,but l want a second beakfast

4:33 am

rubyfoo
