1:53 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose! How are you doing?

1:53 am

grannyrose

and hello to you too m9

1:55 am

grannyrose

much better dear man. i have discovered that the ibuprofen i was taking was interacting with my other meds. it made me very breathless and sleepy.

1:55 am

grannyrose

how are you and the parents? any sign f cv-19 on your island?

1:56 am

m9f9l

Glad you figured it out

1:56 am

grannyrose

so am i m9

1:56 am

zoozzoom

Glad you found that out and have corrected it, Rose!

1:56 am

m9f9l

but did you find an alternative, so you get some relief?

1:57 am

zoozzoom

I took Naproxen recently and boy that went right through me. Never touching those tablets again.

1:57 am

zoozzoom

There are cases here but not that many thank goodness.

1:58 am

grannyrose

m9. i still have endone up my sleeve, so to speak. and the pharmacist to whom i was talking suggested short spurts of predisone for the osteoarthritis.

1:59 am

m9f9l

so at least something

1:59 am

grannyrose

hey, me too, zooz. my doc was stunned.

1:59 am

gingin

Rose, have you tried Voltaren? I take that for osteoarthritis.

1:59 am

grannyrose

for once in your life, zooz, i bet you are so very glad to be on an island.

2:01 am

zoozzoom

Nope still think it is crap. I am here for my parents now. after that who knows lol

2:01 am

grannyrose

good suggestion gingin. have heart issues as well so have to be very careful. who knows! i may not need anything if workcover insurance decide the nerve stimulator is a go4.

2:01 am

grannyrose

awww zooz. you are such a wonderful son.

2:02 am

zoozzoom

How is Don doing these days, Rose?

2:03 am

grannyrose

hey, i caught up with crosshair again. the two of you are such an integral part of my babble life.

2:03 am

grannyrose

Don is doing fine, thanx. we now have his asthma finally under control.

2:04 am

zoozzoom

I often look at the rankings to see who is still playing. I saw Crosshair was still doing some babble. Hope Elegant & himself are well!

2:04 am

grannyrose

it took us nearly three months. different sprays, different puffers, different ways of delivery.

2:05 am

zoozzoom

That is good to hear, Rose! Say I said hello 😊

2:05 am

grannyrose

they appear to be, zooz. oh, and guess what ! sprite had another fall. tried to break her arm this time.

2:06 am

zoozzoom

They keep on trying to change my dads puffers but he is not having it. Typical man lol

2:06 am

grannyrose

i offered to send a carton of bubble wrap over. her hubby was ever so grateful. said he would line their home with it].

2:07 am

zoozzoom

Good grief what is that lady doing to herself? Is it in that small caravan she did it again?

2:07 am

zoozzoom

LOL That is hilarious!

2:07 am

grannyrose

i hear you about the puffers. and if the old ones still work, hey, let him have them.

2:07 am

zoozzoom

Would be funny if you did and it was outside their caravan one morning!

2:09 am

grannyrose

she fell down a 5cm (about 2") step at her friends home, i think it was. she had plaster for only a short time. she is working with a physio to help regain her movement back.

2:09 am

zoozzoom

Hope she is okay though.

2:09 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. zooz, hysterical......not

2:10 am

grannyrose

you did know she has had cv-19?

2:10 am

zoozzoom

Ah okay. Another say I said hello for me, Rose the messenger 😜

2:10 am

grannyrose

no problems zooz.

2:11 am

m9f9l

This is a slow grid.

2:11 am

zoozzoom

Yes I did. Bless her. Glad she recovered as best she could from that. She has been going through the wars too. We are like a bunch of ole rickety falling apart and stitched back up babblers lol

2:12 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is, M9, I still have 117 words to find. Will look for those later though.

2:12 am

grannyrose

it is m9. there are no runs with a stem word. each word is itself.

2:13 am

m9f9l

I'm pretty fried too though. A friend in hospice so I went for an impromptu road trip

2:13 am

grannyrose

was it a long trip, m9? from where to where?

2:14 am

m9f9l

The Oregon gorge up to north of Seattle

2:15 am

m9f9l

We came back over Snoqualmie pass

2:15 am

zoozzoom

Rose did I tell you I have what I think is tendonitis of the shoulder/ Frozen shoulder. Took me four months to get a doctoers appointment. He said he thinks I might of fractured my shoulder so went for a hospital scan yesterday. Now got to wait ten days for the results to do to the doctors.

2:15 am

grannyrose

oh, zooz, they have started building the framework for their tiny house. haven't ound where they want to build, but her hubby has started putting bits together.

2:15 am

zoozzoom

Oops sorry, aM9 I wrote that before I saw your post. Did not mean to cross post on you.

2:16 am

grannyrose

eek m9. and it's real hot over there too, isn't it?

2:16 am

zoozzoom

About time, Rose. It seems a long time a go now. Hope they get it done quickly.

2:16 am

grannyrose

ouch zooz. been there, had the surgery, not going back if i can help it. you poor love.

2:17 am

m9f9l

you didn't zooz. Actually Rose, it's cooled down a bit. It POURED rain yesterday morning!

2:17 am

zoozzoom

Glad they are letting people visit now, M9!

2:17 am

grannyrose

hw lovely to have the rain, m9. i bet the farmers were hanging out for it.

2:17 am

m9f9l

but it has been hot over on our side, yes. My husband burnt the bottoms of his feet on the pavement. sigh.

2:18 am

grannyrose

*eye roll * men... for pete's sake. put the shoes on and the mask... loll

2:19 am

zoozzoom

LOL

2:19 am

zoozzoom

I will not go for surgery, Rose I would rather go for a chiropractor to correct it if I can.

2:20 am

m9f9l

Yes, the hospital she's at are great about letting the family visit!

2:20 am

zoozzoom

Good to hear, M9, so important for them to see friends & family.

2:21 am

grannyrose

hmmm. zooz. it really isn't a condition which can be corrected with chiro. the frozen part comes from all the scar tissue inside adhering to itself. and that, i am afraid, ha to be removed surgically.

2:23 am

zoozzoom

Damn. I had seen a few videos where they say if you have frozen shoulder it can be fixed by a chiropractor. I am easily led by the looks of it. :-(

2:23 am

grannyrose

the other option is hydrodiatation. done via medical imaging where the doctor inject fluid into the joint until the scar tissue rips apart.

2:24 am

grannyrose

and there is no Jesus handle on the x-ray table. trust me. i looked.

2:24 am

zoozzoom

Is that similar to cortisone?

2:24 am

zoozzoom

LOL

2:24 am

grannyrose

so it cmes down to what is fr

2:24 am

grannyrose

so it cmes down to what is fr

2:25 am

grannyrose

darn

2:25 am

grannyrose

so it comes down to what exactly is "freezing" your shoulder joint. and as you have the history of a all. well....

2:27 am

zoozzoom

Yeah it has been like it for at least four months now so probably gotten quite bad.

2:27 am

grannyrose

there is cortisone in the injection yes. but the majority is saline. it took 250mls to tear the scar tissue in my shoulder. usually it takes about 100mls.

2:28 am

grannyrose

oh i see i left out a letter... hydrodilatation

2:28 am

zoozzoom

That much! Give me a hammer I could smash mine up with no injection!

2:29 am

grannyrose

lolll.... coming over to hold your hand. hey, if i can take it...

2:29 am

zoozzoom

Hahaha! I am not that brave I'm afraid, Rose even with you holding my hand and a cloth in my mouth haha!

2:30 am

zoozzoom

Oh you mean the injection lol yes well if that is what it takes to cure it then fine.

2:30 am

grannyrose

*chuckling* course you are mate.anyone who lives on an island day in day out has to be tougher than li'l ol' me.

2:31 am

zoozzoom

Ha! You have been through so much more than I have, Rose! You are one super strong cookie! ❤

2:32 am

grannyrose

mind you, i did work 10 hour shifts full time, for 13 m onths on a fractured ankle.

2:32 am

zoozzoom

See what I mean!

2:32 am

grannyrose

*loving you back* mate.

2:33 am

grannyrose

hey, you are still looking after the parents. that takes some doing i know.

2:34 am

zoozzoom

We all do what we got to do. Although I do not mind looking after my parents. Least I can do for them. Sad to see them slowly deteriorate though.

2:37 am

grannyrose

i know mate. at least i was able to see mine at the end as they had looked when alive. except poor old mum. she had fallen and her poor face was so badly bruised. but when she died she had only just started to lose her memory.

2:38 am

zoozzoom

Alas my time is up already. Very nice to see you, Rose. Hope you look after yourself. Until we meet again. All the best ❤💕

2:38 am

grannyrose

the last time i saw her, she didn't know who i was. when Don and i were leaving (we were in our 50's) she said, that's right. you have to pick up the kiddies from school. it was sad.

2:39 am

grannyrose

zooz, dear man. please take care o you until we can meet irl. xx

2:39 am

zoozzoom

((Rose)) That brings tears to my eyes. I am such a soft old fart.

10:55 am

hokie carla

funny, I was trying to make something just like that and was like, wait, it's ap, not as

10:55 am

cybernan

10:55 am

cybernan

you weren't alone, mtl

10:56 am

montreal13

just could not see it !@#$#@

10:58 am

hurshy

i recommend a show - "The Boys" - on amazon - action drama with a thinking/morality component - but rated MA just so you know - there is sex, swearing, and violence. but it isn't overly dark.

10:59 am

hokie carla

I meant to watch that when s1 came out but never did. will start that or umbrella academy next.

10:59 am

hokie carla

umbrella s2, that is

11:00 am

hokie carla

have been watching Hamish Macbeth on Prime - Scottish show from mid90s. :D only new word I've learned is shinty.

11:00 am

hurshy

i loved that show, watched it a few years back :)

11:02 am

hokie carla

is it just me or did the new kid they added in S3 have his voice dubbed by a woman? it's so weird, I can't even watch when he is on screen. I wish I knew why they did that. thought for sure it was part of the plot with the singing contest and his voice would change ala Peter Brady, but that wasn't it.

11:02 am

hurshy

moaning myrtle is in it at the end :D

11:02 am

hurshy

i don't remember that hokie, don't think i noticed

11:03 am

hokie carla

when I first realized it I watched closely and it's definitely dubbed

11:03 am

hurshy

you're very observant :D

11:04 am

hokie carla

per imdb that's the only thing that kid's ever been in

11:04 am

rururocks

moaning myrtle is one of my favorite harry potter characters

11:04 am

bichon

The chamber of secrets

11:05 am

hokie carla

it's true, I am very observant, plus I have amazing facial recall. have creeped out people several times with it.

11:05 am

rururocks

I also love Bellatrix helen bonham carter is fabulous

11:05 am

hokie carla

I didn't realize you were an HP fan, ru.

11:06 am

hurshy

i like it when i pick out an actor and know where i've seen them before even if they look very different

11:06 am

rururocks

our friend's kid makes me watch them with him

11:06 am

hurshy

a lot of times it's the voice that does it

11:06 am

hokie carla

well, if you haven't read the books, you should. way better than the movies

11:07 am

rururocks

i have so many books to read already hokie.. i am far behind.. trying to make time to finish three i've got going

11:07 am

hokie carla

also the audiobooks read by Jim Dale are fantastic!

11:07 am

hurshy

i'm rereading them now, am about 3/4 of the way through book 4 at the moment. 2 was better than i remembered! 3 and 4 are my favorites.

11:08 am

hurshy

after that i start to feel like harry is just stupid for not going to dumbledore, like hello, haven't you learned that lesson YET

11:08 am

hokie carla

I should put those in my reading queue. have read several times and listened to them too. 7 is a little too depressing for me.

11:08 am

hokie carla

agreed, hurshy

11:11 am

hurshy

were you here when i was asking the other day about the dragon task?

11:11 am

hokie carla

well, it's lunchtime and I never had breakfast guess I will save 81 for later. or never. :D TTFN. well, I'll probably come back while eating.

11:11 am

hurshy

if he could do "accio firebolt" why not just do "accio golden egg" instead and boom, you win the task in 2 seconds.

11:11 am

hokie carla

I don't think so, hurshy

11:12 am

hokie carla

there are a lot of little plot holes like that. I think Harry isn't particularly smart, just surrounds himself with the right people and gets lucky a lot.

11:12 am

hurshy

yeah but none of the other champions thought of it either?

11:12 am

hokie carla

maybe it was in the rules they couldn't, but the reader didn't know

11:13 am

hurshy

i kinda doubt it, but, that's probably the best we can do

11:14 am

hokie carla

yep

11:14 am

rururocks

ah ... found the TA 8

11:15 am

hurshy

i ordered a plush pigwidgeon. but they don't seem to make any with sound! and pig is always "twittering madly" - so i also ordered an audobon society bird with a twittering that i liked the sound of and i'm going to pull out the mechanism and put it into the pigwidgeon :D

11:15 am

hokie carla

does it have anything to do with the dance?

11:15 am

hokie carla

LOL, hurshy

11:16 am

hurshy

yes, i'm crazy

11:16 am

hurshy

what's more, this won't be the first surgery i've done on a stuffed animal, lol

11:17 am

hurshy

what was the other HP thing i was wondering about... it has slipped my mind... sigh

11:19 am

hokie carla

11:19 am

hurshy

11:24 am

Aloyisius

hi all. I love living in the "boonies", but one disadvantage is a very poor signal for internet. I keep getting kicked off and have to wait for it to suddenly reappear. Annoying!

Aloyisius

a friend and I play Scrabble once/week online. I was disconnected and she was winning.. and we weren't able to finish. She was rightfully ticked!

11:28 am

hurshy

when my sister and i played that, alo, if you were playing a live game and got disconnected, it would just turn into the other kind, where you can play your turn whenever

11:28 am

hokie carla

did she say "yeah, sure your internet went out"?

11:28 am

Aloyisius

lol .. we are competitive

11:29 am

hurshy

11:58 am

rururocks

it's good for the grapes

11:59 am

cybernan

yes - well as you know there is a reason we grow mostly whites other than around osooyoos

12:04 pm

LuvWordGames

we have streets and parks named after a gov. in Michigan named Crapo-lol

12:04 pm

cybernan

is the name suitable?

12:05 pm

rururocks

you would think they'd name the dumps after him

12:05 pm

LuvWordGames

don't know, he was a gov. a long time ago and I haven't researched him

12:05 pm

LuvWordGames

but I do know I certainly wouldn't want to live on that street

12:06 pm

cybernan

I often wonder why some people just don't legally change their name

12:06 pm

LuvWordGames

12:24 pm

maccafixx
