Good Evening. IDK how you guys do it; at this time of night I rarely find words longer than 6 or 7 letters long! And *I* was the night owl for so many years; but now it's often all I can do here some evenings is barely find enough 4 letter words for NBT!

Hey there, sprite.
2:06 am
sprite

hiya peach! *hug* How are you doing today?
2:07 am
grannyrose

good morning dear sprite. the heat continues here. i'm watching the news. the bush fires have merged into one. homes are being lost, people are being moved away to safety. please pray for our poor land as it is consumed by fire.
2:07 am
gapeach

OK, thanks, sprite. Just plodding along.
2:07 am
grannyrose

heyya peach.
2:07 am
sprite

*blessings over your plodding*
2:07 am
gapeach

Hi there, rose. You OK?
2:07 am
gapeach

Thanks much, dear sprite.
2:08 am
sprite

good evening dear rose *hugssss* So sorry to hear. Are you and Don safe? And your kids?
2:08 am
grannyrose

i'm okay honey. but it;s heart breaking to watch places we have visited and loved utterly wiped out.
2:09 am
grannyrose

at the moment all our family are safe. the closest the fire is to us is about 50 km.
2:10 am
gapeach

I'm so sorry this is happeningl. Praying. Hugs
2:12 am
sprite

50 km is too close for comfort, the way things are going. I can understand how heartbreaking this must be. It is devastating.
2:14 am
grannyrose

we have a couple of hills between us, and the fire-break areas have been well-maintained.
2:19 am
sprite

that's a good thing. Praying for you and your country, honey
2:19 am
grannyrose

unfortunately we have national forest at the end of our street. we just need ONE idiot to throw a lit cigarette butt out of their car window.... we do have several ways that the firefighters can warn us. and we are checking their web site regularly.
2:22 am
sprite

scary
2:22 am
grannyrose

now spritey. how are you doing my sweetie?
2:23 am
grannyrose

and peach? is the pollen count going down? are you feeling a little better?
2:30 am
sprite

I am doing great. Went to Noud's workshop yesterday, a day of training for the assistents. It was marvelous. And I managed okay, in the wheelchair, and could do most things for myself and the other assistents were so sweet and helpful. Pain in the end was bad, had to take an oxycodone but regretted it. I do not sleep well on that stuff.
2:32 am
gapeach

Good for you, sprite.
2:32 am
grannyrose

pleased that your workshop went so well and that you were able to cope. but it does indicate just how important it is to keep that ankle elevated. ugh that the oxycodone has that effect on you.
2:35 am
grannyrose

i suspect that you, like me, are going to feel any swelling, however slight, affecting that ankle.
2:35 am
sprite

my ankle has been elevated all day. Just tiredness that made it hurt so bad, I think. And yeah, the oxy is not going down well. I get trippy, skate over the tops of sleep, so to speak, and never get under. Do not remember ever feeling that way before. Might be that the crazy amount of ketamine and oxycodone they gave me in the ambulance and hospital until the ankle was straightened that triggered a kind of hypersensitivity to the stuff.
2:36 am
sprite

yeah, probably. But while awake last night, I could slightly flex and stretch my feet. Both of them! So things are healing well.
2:38 am
sprite

yayyy used the -ncy ending at last
2:39 am
grannyrose

lollll... and i am fairly certain that is the only word that uses the c tile
2:39 am
sprite

*grins* Quite likely. Kind of a dead corner there, even though it looks so promising.
2:40 am
sprite

oh man, it is raining... so much rain! Wish I could send it your way, honey, it would end those fires in no time
2:40 am
grannyrose

and the x tile is only used twice.
2:42 am
grannyrose

i was gonna say, please go and run about in it for me.... then i remembered.... water and set plaster don't go together well...
2:44 am
sprite

mmmmm better not, lol.
2:46 am
sprite

the other assitants said I was doing too much for myself and to ask more help. And there I was, feeling so happy I could navigate it all on my own. Sometimes it is hard to explain to people why even the sweetest care does not make up for being self-sufficient.
2:47 am
grannyrose

*sigh* and there we have it again. honey, it is a hard lesson to le5 to be humble enough to accept an offer to help. by accepting that offer you are blessing the person who has offered.
2:48 am
grannyrose

it wa so hard for me. like you, to5ly independent, then suddenly..stuck in a wheelchair and needing help to negotiate even a single step up or down.
2:48 am
sprite

yeah... I know... and at the same time, I think that it is important to do for yourself the things you still can do. And not be that dependant, helpless person who enjoys being waited on.
2:50 am
grannyrose

when you are at home, to5ly yes. when out and about accept some help. explain you want to try, and will ask for help if you cannot do.
2:50 am
sprite

but I hear you. I will try to accept offers when they come... and for stairs and steps I need all the help I can get. But if I can do things for myself, I will do them by myself when possible.
2:50 am
sprite

that is a good one. Will do.
2:55 am
sprite

what I hate most (did not happen yesterday, but it did in the hospital and shops) is when people start talking over your head to the person pushing your wheelchair. "Does she have all the recipes?"
I went "HEY! I am right here. My leg is broken, not my mind or tongue."
2:55 am
grannyrose

oh, btw, thank-you for that very informative email honey.
2:56 am
sprite

yvw! And feel free to ask me anything about it, you and Don both.
2:57 am
grannyrose

oh dear.... i had that problem with mother mac who still had every single one of her marbles. docs, nurses, whoever, would talk to us rather than her. it would drive me almost into a towering rage.
2:58 am
grannyrose

many was the time i had to talk through gritted teeth in an effort to stop myself from shouting.
2:58 am
sprite

it is totally rude. Lol, the lady in the pharmacy actually blushed a fiery red and said sorry. I think she will not make the same mistake twice.
3:00 am

as so she should have. as you say, so rude.
3:00 am
sprite

I do have a little more patience for people outside care institutions. But care personnel? I am pretty sure they are trained to never do this.
3:03 am
grannyrose

nope, as far as i remember, no specific training for dealing with the person in the chair. it is actually something i le5ed as i went along.
3:03 am
grannyrose

also, it is a matter of respect and manners.
3:04 am
sprite

well it should be part of their training then. For crying out loud. Okay, I actually think each and every one of them should spend a week in a wheelchair and a week in a hospital bed just to learn what it is like.
3:05 am
grannyrose

so agree. i think that is why i could second guess what people under my care needed. i have had so many procedures, surgeries etc that i can EMpathise with what they are experiencing.
3:07 am
Kamanjah

Hugs to you Sprite and Rose!
3:07 am
sprite

exactly. And that is what is needed. I just read an interesting snippet about 'the near enemy'. A psychological phrase used to describe two things that look the same but are opposites. In this case, pity and compassion. Compassion is when there is empathy, and you feel the other person is equal to you. Pity is when there is no empathy and you feel superior to them.

*hugs Kam* Hello dear one, glad to see you, how are you and Michael doing? Is Dad settling in?
3:09 am
Kamanjah

Good to see both of you! Dad answered his phone today, but wasn't making much sense. Guess he didn't have his hearing aid in...not sure, but at least he and Michael talked
3:09 am
grannyrose

oh dear.... little steps honey. at le5 he answered the phone.
3:10 am

glad he answered the phone. It will take time for things to settle, I think. Good thoughts and prayers to all of you there.
3:11 am
Kamanjah

Thanks for the email Sprite. I'll reply tomorrow - just popped in between TV and bedtime. Am glad I caught both of you here!
3:11 am
sprite

no hurry, Kam, whenever is good for you will be good for me :)
3:13 am
Kamanjah

I'm just hoping Dad couldn't hear...because he didn't remember his other grands bringing his dog to visit him. I'm afraid his time may be running out
3:13 am

rofloll... we are watching a program on the british royalty and how they relate to australia. they just interviewed a lady on the street. do either of you, know about Dame Edna Everage, a character played by an actor Barry Humphries. if you don't please google. this lady was actually wearing a pair of glasses exactly like those worn by that character.
3:14 am

sweetie, I know dame edna and I LOVE her. LOL @ the glasses, unbelievable that people wear stuff like that IRL

Kamanjah

Rose, I'm so sorry you're living through fires - it's so awful. Now we're getting lots of rain...and by summer here, we'll have more fires. I hope California doesn't have any more severe fires this year, the past few years have been horrid. I hope you stay safe.
3:19 am
grannyrose

there are so many, for me, emotional and moving clips. like when Sir Robert Menzies made a speech. and in it he said" i did but see her passing by, i now know that i will love her until the day i die"
3:21 am
grannyrose

thanx kam. when the fires were blazing over there i was praying so hard, and weeping for all that was lost.
3:26 am
sprite

it is devastation on a scale unknown to us here.
3:27 am
sprite

finally found the 9
3:27 am
grannyrose

do you think we get 'softer' as we get older. these days i find i weep at so many things. is it because i have allowed God so much more into my heart and life?
3:28 am
sprite

yes honey, it is. People either go harder while aging, closing themselves off of the hurt and pain of living, or they go 'softer', allowing the pain to touch them.
3:28 am
Kamanjah

I don't think so, Rose, we just gain experience. Living through stuff makes us stronger
3:29 am
grannyrose

loll... now i respect both of your opinions... would you please agree some where along the line?
3:29 am
Kamanjah

Hmmm. I cry more, I feel more, but I feel I can deal with more too.
3:29 am
sprite

*giggles*
3:31 am
sprite

yes, we get stronger all the time. But as long as we keep our hearts open, we can be more easily touched and moved by things. I think that is a beautiful way of growing older. Much better than getting cynical and closing ourselves off from the pain of others.
3:32 am
Kamanjah

Agreed, Sprite. I was typing pretty much the same sentiment.
3:32 am
grannyrose

ahhhh, a sort of agreement. i can handle that.
3:32 am

Nef, other costal port cites don't either: NYC; Charleston, SC, Savannah GA..
4:10 pm
Nef

Interesting. IDK anyone from SC or GA; but the people I've met from Rhode Island & NYC weren't so hard to understand. (Then again, maybe they've been around the Midwest or exposed to our accents more than the people I've met from Boston?) IDK; I was hoping for a linguistic reason for it
4:10 pm
MollyL

Nef, you could do a Google search on that question, but the answer is pretty boring.

I suppose I could Google it, Molly; (& I probably will), but since libarebel mentioned it I thought I'd ask.

I remember (when I was younger) hearing that the midwestern accent was what all newscasters were trained to use. I always thought it was funny, because we *didn't* have accents (in my mind, anyway) but have learned over the years that the midwestern accent is just as distinct as other parts of the country are.

Is your accent extremelydistinct, TO? (dc said he hasn't had trouble understanding you; so it can't be too bad, right?)
4:45 pm
72 Temple Owl

it
4:46 pm

it's distinct. another feature of the region is rapid speech.

libarebel

just back-- I think Bostonians speak w/ a broad A (as in "Paahrk) is a leftover from the British accent-- we were the earliest colony, I think...
4:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

the distinct philadelphia o is also descended from the british.
4:48 pm
Nef

I'm always impressed with people who can speak fast. That's something I've never been able to do (but that isn't to say my speech is slow, either)

I've actually been asked, on several occasions, if I were from Australia(!) I don't get that!

That's interesting, libarebel. I wonder why they'd think it was an Australian accent?
4:52 pm
libarebel

Beats me, Nef, though Australians sound kind of British...
4:54 pm
Nef

re: the "r" sound for Bostonians; in reading about it, the R in car is pronounced if the following word starts with a vowel but not if it starts with a consonant (that's the rhotic/non-rhotic part of what I read).
4:54 pm
libarebel

I wish you could hear me say "I parked the car in Harvard Yard" :D
4:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

can you imagine if chat had sound?
4:56 pm
libarebel

interesting, Nef-- as in French-- never 2 vowel sounds in a row-- more fluid that way...
4:56 pm
Nef

LOL! I did read how that sounds; but there's no way I could write it that way here
4:56 pm
Nef

TO, that would be a nightmare (if chat had sound!)
4:57 pm
libarebel

Chat w/ sound-- a veritable cacophony!
4:58 pm
Nef

Even without accents; sometimes there are so many different convos going on at once it would definitely be overwhelming!
4:58 pm
libarebel

an understatement! :D
5:02 pm
libarebel

In French, chat (w/ silent "T" means cat-- chatte ("T" pronounced means "pussy"-- a friend of mine found that one out the hard way-- while in France she told people that her hostess had "deux chattes" :D
5:03 pm
libarebel

People expressed desire to meet her hostess...
5:03 pm
Nef

Oh, My! Not knowing French; I can imagine that was taken wrong?

The Peabody Institute in Baltimore is pronounced 'peedbody' so the pibidy thing was at first confusing to me.

The same CT woman was w/ me at a party where someone was looking for his "car keys", and was looking for his "khakis", again much to our (Bostonian) amusement

Hi harp. Have you been able to dig out yet?

Hi Nef--I'm on my way to bed so will just say hi. I'm still archiving. I'd like to get to Mlps in the spring but don't see how, yet. I do watch the chat, notice what's going on with people tho I miss a lot. Don't say much. Ru's goat-sheep discussion made me dream I was riding my goat on a country road and the goat deiced not to go farther. I woke up in worry, how to get to the meeting the goat-ride was getting me to. Did I send you a vol 4, the final one? JJ
