Hi there, sprite et al.
1:03 am
sprite
*hugs peach* Hi there, how are you doing today?
1:04 am
gapeach
Better than yesterday.....and you?
1:05 am
sprite
still battling that darn flu, but otherwise fine, thank you for asking. Glad to hear today is a little better than yesterday.
1:05 am
gapeach
How long has the flu been going on?
1:05 am
sprite
3 weeks now
1:06 am
gapeach
Oh, golly, hon. That is a bummer for sure. Are you able to rest a lot?
1:07 am
Kamanjah
That's been hanging on to you! I hope you kick it soon!
1:07 am
sprite
yes I am, and I do. I expect things will get really better next week... and if not, I will send the bugs an eviction notice.
1:08 am
sprite
*hugs Kam* Hello dear one. Are you healing up a bit?
1:09 am
Kamanjah
Eye is open...that's about it. Balance is off, so if I'm not better Monday, off to doc for sure.
1:09 am
sprite
definitely, honey. That is not a good thing, especially now that the eye is open again and you should see depth again.
1:11 am
Kamanjah
Sight seems ok, just balance is whacky. I hurt my knee too, so that could be part of it. Walking just doesn't work right, and I'm afraid to go out.
1:11 am
sprite
sounds like having the doc check you over is indicated.
1:12 am
Kamanjah
Hubs finally agreed tonight...will see. Hope tomorrow is better!
1:12 am
sprite
why would he be opposed to you going to the doc??
1:14 am
sprite
ah, I see. First things first... health is very important. Though I know how tough it is to be low on dough.
1:14 am
Kamanjah
Plus he used to be an EMT, but I don't think he's current on things! He thought I was fine, then today more bruising showed up...I don't think he realized how hard I fell.
1:15 am
sprite
he just should look at your face to know how hard you fell. And your knee too, I bet.
1:17 am
Kamanjah
He finally looked at the knee today, it's twice as swollen...don't know why it took so long - guess I laid off the ice too soon? It's 5 days now, I should not be showing new bruises and swelling now, so he's going to have to change plans and get me to doc Mon unless tomorrow is a lot better.
1:17 am
Kamanjah
(still Sat nite here)
1:19 am
sprite
he is. If new bruising is still showing up, it means the contusions are very deep into the tissue. Icing the knee is still useful, but it sounds to me like a doc needs to see you and make sure nothing more than bruising is the case.
1:20 am
sprite
sidenote: someone being apathic should be called an apath.
1:21 am
Kamanjah
I know...wanted to go Thurs, but he thought I was ok and kept reassuring me it will just take a while to heal.
1:21 am
Kamanjah
good one!
1:22 am
Kamanjah
He's so 'no drama'
1:22 am
sprite
*crosses arms and gives Michael the stern mama look* You need to take better care of your woman, boyeeeeee!
1:23 am

there's no drama and there is neglect. These injuries are too serious to be neglected. You have to be sure nothing is truly damaged.

hello everyone -- just home. Some terrible news coming out of California today -- hope all of our babblers are safe.

Hi nan!

It's really smoky here, but the fire is 3 counties north.

1:34 am

I took a picture of some lawn art I was putting together..... last summer......
1:35 am
gemini_J13
yes it was between my car and mr gem's pickup
1:35 am
sprite
think you must have uploaded it at some point. Maybe to show it to babblers?
1:36 am
gemini_J13
it was on face book....,maybe I did upload it here??
1:36 am
sprite
maybe for babblers who do not do fb?
1:37 am
gemini_J13
I was so proud of my self ~ got 20 boxes of "stuff" at an auction for $10,,,,, and put that together
1:37 am
gemini_J13
or my paranoid self would think someone hacked my photos!!
1:38 am
sprite
it would take quite some doing to hack your photo's and your babble account and upload the pic here. I bet you wanted to show it to someone who did not have fb :)
1:40 am
gemini_J13
probably..... it was last summer..... I can't remember why I moved my paper an hour ago.... so I wouldn't remember that!!
1:40 am
cybernan
glad to hear you are not in the danger zone, kam
1:40 am
sprite
lol same here. We have thrown out a lot of stuff and reorganised the rest... I still cannot seem to remember where stuff is now!
1:47 am
Kamanjah
Thanks, nan - two years ago hubby lost his house - and the rest of the family lost their summer places - enough already! And that family had to evacuate last year - but all had homes to return to. One friend has lost his home in the Camp fire this year - he's staying with father-in-law...poor guy lost his wife a couple of months ago. It's sad here in Calif

I'm not sure how the picture got in my profile,,, yes I made a lawn ornament ~~~ and took a picture,,, I posted it on FB,,,, but not here...

I rarely finish either. I used to be pretty compulsive about finishing, but I realized it wasn't much fun anymore then. So now I chat or I fill in the grid to make pixel pictures with the tile stats. ;-)
10:39 pm
Nef
Really, gemini? I wonder how it got here then?
10:39 pm
gemini_J13
no idea.... I probably did something?

I used to do better when I could use Lockett by copying and pasting. I can’t seem to do it anymore. Any hints?
10:40 pm
Nef
LOL! Hey; that's a great answer! :-D
10:41 pm
gemini_J13
I haven't glued it yet.... I was so proud,,,, I was at an auction and got about 20 boxes of "stuff" for $10
10:41 pm
gemini_J13
put that together from some of it
10:41 pm
Nef
Oh! You should glue it together before something breaks!
10:43 pm
gemini_J13
it's not together setting in my basement,,,, I took the pic so I could remember how to assemble it
10:43 pm
gemini_J13

The bottom platter and the top bowl look very similar to some pieces my hubby inherited from his family. The bowl is crystal, though. Did you check & see if any of it was real cut glass or not?
10:46 pm
gemini_J13
the point is ,,,, I didn't pay anything for it... the bottom platter is a dime store thing,,, the one vase was from a flower shop,,, one bowl was nice,,,,, but I don't need a bowl..... so it went in the lawn art....
10:47 pm
gemini_J13
is that wasteful? no one uses nice stuff any more...
10:48 pm
gemini_J13
I guess I might have a problem using real crystal..... but I don't think any of this was
10:49 pm
Nef
great attitude, then! I like that! I feel kind of guilty at times because I feel we "have" to hang onto his family heirlooms (my family doesn't have any -- too many kids) but he was an only child.
And now we will be moving into some sort of senior housing &I don't know what to do with so much of it!
10:49 pm
Nef
No, I don't think it would be wasteful at all.
10:51 pm
Nef
If you have no attachment to it & just want to make something pretty that would give you pleasuer; that's great!
10:51 pm
gemini_J13
same here,,,, my kids don't want it.... so I enjoy what I have and if the depression glass ends up in a lawn ornament ~~ oh well!!!
10:52 pm
gemini_J13
i will enjoy this a lot more than it setting in my cupboard
10:52 pm
Nef
I'd suppose if someone would want ti, then that's okay.
10:56 pm
gemini_J13
the lady that was selling the stuff..... she had endless dish ware,,,,,, like sets of china, stone ware, glasses of every size color,,, decorative things.... wine glasses....

My mom died when I was 8, so my aunt & uncle raised us 6 kids (I was second oldest). When they had their 25th wedding anniversary, I was the only kid making any "real" money (I'd graduated from nursing school & was an RN) so I bought a silver service with the big platter, teapot, creamer & sugar pot & it was a gift to them from "all of us kids." (Even though I was about the only one who paid for it). When my aunt died a few years ago; I got that silver set; but there is no way that I'd ever use it because that's my life isn't that formal.
10:57 pm
gemini_J13
12 sets of dishes... every color and chargers,,,,,
10:57 pm
gemini_J13
true,,,,,
10:57 pm
gemini_J13
I have silver pieces setting in the cupboard
11:02 pm
Nef
So that darn tea set has been sitting wrapped in saran wrap so it doesn't tarnish, in a box tucked away for no reason. I have a very dear friend that's from Iran (I even told her I was adopting her back when she went through post partum depression, & both her mother & MIL had passed away years before).
Anyway, we were talking recently and she was going to have a party with an Iranian theme for some other immigrants from around the world, and I offered the tea set to her. She was so thrilled because she'd been looking for a large tray & couldn't find any (I guess that they use large silver trays for certain food presentations?
11:02 pm
Nef
I wonder why that lady that you got that box from had so many dishes?
11:03 pm
gemini_J13
she entertained a lot,,,,,
11:03 pm
gemini_J13
that is nice to share the silver set!
11:03 pm
gemini_J13
love to see things like that used
11:06 pm
Nef
I do have a lovely "good" set of dishes (12 place settings); plus my everyday dishes which are corell, but it isn't a whole set anymore. Things break; so I've bought the closest to what the original set looked like, but even the outlet stores don't have the same patterns all the time (& it doesn't bother me that they don't match either.
11:06 pm
Nef
but 12 sets of dishes; that's a LOT of entertaining!
11:07 pm

I have my mil's Desert Rose ~ and use it most of the time,,, I have added to it,,,, easy just pink or green pieces....
11:07 pm
gemini_J13
they kept pulling boxes out ~
11:07 pm
gemini_J13
most of it was 12 piece settings
11:08 pm
Nef
Wow! Where would a person even keep all of that though?
11:08 pm
gemini_J13
they were moving ~ down sizing,,,, she seemed ok with getting rid of things
11:12 pm
Nef
there's a store not too far from me where the real estate agents help people downsize (mostly seniors) to move; the stuff the clients don't want to take with them the real estate agents sell in that store.
It's fun to go and see (& occasionally buy) things that are good quality furniture but at very reasonable prices.
11:14 pm
gemini_J13
yes,,,, they had nice furniture..... I got 2 nice wood chairs for $7 each
11:14 pm
gemini_J13
the seats need recovered and I need to do that also!!!
11:16 pm
Nef
I go there every so often & buy things I need. my Lazy boy has white paint on the middle of the seat cushion (from when my grandson "helped" me paint his bedroom 2 years ago; he took a break when I didn't know he did & sat down on my chair while wearing his paint-covered painting outfit.)
So I've been looking for the right size and color of Lazy Boy; but I refuse to go buy a new one because I'm not desperate yet
11:19 pm
Nef
I've covered the cushion & no one really knows the big white stain is there; but *I* do; but I don't want to take that chair when we do move; it's starting to show it's age & Idon't want to invest a lot of $$ in it now.
11:20 pm
Nef
Holy Cats! I'd better get back toward on this grid again (I'm chatting too much -as usual- but just have 40 words left to find!
11:21 pm
gemini_J13
Im at 35..... might get it done
11:22 pm
Nef
Go gemini! We can do this!
11:28 pm
rururocks
it's really an easier grid
11:29 pm
Nef
Hi ru, it isn't difficult; I'm just chatting too much and wasn't concentrating on finding words earlier
11:30 pm
rururocks
a lot of them have been very tough.. so it was nice to get an easier one today
11:32 pm
Nef
true, there were some that I didn't even find half of the words ; or I didn't think it was worth the effort to do them (I had a nasty cold recently; just didn't feel up to playing
11:58 pm
