Hi and hugs Rose.

2:39 am

Feeling a bit better today?

2:42 am

yes thanx dear friend. new meds regimen helping

2:43 am

Good. I saw yesterday that you'd had a terribly painful night :(

2:44 am

i am nearly going bonkers here. new gp wants to see report from my thyroid scan which was about 4-5 years ago.when we changed docs a coup[le of years ago, we asked our then current gp for our records to be sent on.

2:45 am

the so-and-so scanned everything in no particular order. sigh... i have to go through the scan page by page.

2:45 am

That's ridiculous! They've lost the report or it was never mailed.

2:45 am

So frustrating for you.

2:46 am

yeah, and the study with the big desk top pc on is like an inferno.

2:47 am

i am half way though the second file of reports etc.

2:47 am

Not helpful for you. Can't you copy the files onto a flash drive and view on a laptop somewhere cooler?

2:49 am

don't think it's worth it. i am nearly there. if we have to do so, will leave the desk top on overnight and i will finish in the morning.

2:50 am

I hope you find it soon.

2:51 am

what's the weather like up there?

2:52 am

High 20s. Sometimes low 30s. Not much rain even though it's storm season. So who knows? Could storm!

2:53 am

i certainly hope it doesn't. too many storms already.

2:54 am

Have to expect it at this time of year. If there are any cyclones up north, we sometime catch the edge.

2:57 am

most delicious aromas wafting through. slow-cooked lamb in red-wine, herbs and spices.

2:57 am

Stalled here at 26. Will probably list later tonight.

3:02 am

We also have those.

3:02 am

I love salmon but really miss cold water fish.

3:03 am

Cod, plaice, sole.

3:03 am

like which?

3:03 am

ahhhh

3:03 am

Haddock.

3:04 am

Sometimes get NZ sole at the restaurant we love.

3:05 am

i found tinned herrings the other day. oh my... they taste so different from anything i have ever had.

3:06 am

Fresh herring is lovely. But I also love pickled.

3:06 am

Never had tinned.

3:07 am

3:07 am

Hugs

3:07 am

Bon appetit

3:12 am

good morning all

3:22 am

Good Morning!

3:22 am

morning ruby :) *hug*

3:22 am

Is anybody here?

3:23 am

((sprite)) yay

3:23 am

We have another day of cold, rain, but, contra to the very detailed local weather report, NO SNOW!

3:24 am

Another yay for that!

3:24 am

that is a good thing.

3:24 am

and another good thinbg, no pain this morning

3:25 am

awesome, ruby :)

3:25 am

How are you feeling, cutie? I tend to be so focused on my stupid pain, that I forget that most of us are suffering

3:26 am

I am ok. Waiting for the meds to kick in, lots of pain the last few days. And another bumpy night. But will be off to another session of volunteer work this night, looking forward to it.

3:27 am

{{hugs}} and good-day my dearest sprite. {{hugs}} darling ruby.

3:28 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. Did you have less pain cramps today?

3:28 am

you are amazing, volunteering when you have your own pain! I spend a lt of time huddled Under blankets

3:28 am

55rosie!!))

3:28 am

yes thanx sprite. new regimen working well.

3:29 am

yeah well, I don't have cancer. My pain is chronic and will be with me the rest of my life. So it is up to me to decide whether it will rule my life or not, right?

3:29 am

exactly sprite

3:29 am

am so glad, rose. *hugs*- Keep up this regimen.

3:30 am

Each of us deals with chronic pain in her own way, I guess

3:31 am

Does humidity affect you, sprite? And lack of humidity for Rose?

3:31 am

ruby, there is no right way to deal with chronic pain. every one of us reacts differently sweetie.

3:32 am

yeah, humidity, and changes in weather like storm and snow and such. And I agree, rose, there is not one true way. We all have to figure it out for ourselves.

3:33 am

I think I'm cowardly in the face of pain but, hopefully, if I have radiation treatment this winter, it will alleviate some of it and I'll be able to cut back on the morphine

3:34 am

pain is a lady dog. It sucks to have it and it sucks up lots of your energy to boot.

3:34 am

Anyway, today should be a good day -- nothing )lanned, Luisa came andmade a fire, dogs are fed and indoors, for a change and I am feeling optimistic

3:34 am

planned!

3:35 am

optimistic is good.

3:35 am

my lady dog is a floozy, swinging her fluffy hips around

3:36 am

*giggles*

3:36 am

your lady dog is a darling. Not the kind I meant, lol

3:37 am

omg, the dreaded trump is a phantom

3:38 am

I keep seeing surplus. Which isn't even almost there.

3:38 am

Did anybody see Obama,s speech the other night? I don,t think there was a dry eye in the house, except maybe the dogs

3:38 am

lol ruby. i tried to find sequel AND prequel, neither there.

3:39 am

good phantoms, those

3:47 am

as our muso's are off duty until february our service had no hymns. one of the elderly men, said to the vicar, he wanted to make a formal request for just one hymn next week. i didn't hear which one he wanted... but it could be interesting with no music. lolll

3:48 am

interesting indeed. A capella... it is beautiful, when done right

3:48 am

true, of course. and don has a lovely tenor.

3:49 am

if I sang, it would clear the Church!

3:57 am

3:57 am

SPRITE!!!! naughty girl, come over here and i'll beat you with a wet tissue.

3:58 am

8:24 am

8:27 am

Today I need to exercise, whether outside in the rain, or down in the basement on my bike.

8:27 am

ty there and hello

hi mlf and yw

8:28 am

I've been falling into very deep sleeps every afternoon; I feel like RipVan Winkle when I awaken and the fire goes out

8:28 am

I just felt blah--dreary outside, our snow is melting with warm temps.

8:28 am

I dream of snow

8:29 am

But, starting tomorrow snow returns and by Friday we will have 13 inches. Yay!

8:29 am

8:29 am

queany

i dream of spring and warmth...27 f here this morning, wind chill 16 f, yuck

8:29 am

shoot me!

8:30 am

TY, Ruby. I just noticed the Q in the grid. That is how dopey I still am. I just got out of bed 30 minutes ago.

8:30 am

I don't wish for snow, but it's better than endless rain and big wet dogs

8:30 am

scrab can I move in?

i need one more q but that isn't it

8:30 am

It's 57 degrees here and I am loving it. I am amused that the same people who would be bitching if it was cold are complaining because it's "too warm for winter".

8:30 am

scrab I have been awake for about an hour

8:31 am

getting through Nov and Dec was the hard part; now Spring may be on the way.

8:31 am

Yes, I have plenty of room, MLFAN, but Remy Rabbit runs around.

8:31 am

There is a decrative plum tree blossoming up the hill -- lovely

8:32 am

scrab I wont run over the rabbit I promise:)

8:32 am

69 days until Spring : D

8:32 am

I Wonder what the dogs would do with a rabbit....

8:32 am

I have a downstairs bedroom and bathroom for you and can install a ramp our front for your wheelchair.

8:33 am

aww that is so nice of you scrab:)

8:33 am

Ruby, they might me afraid, they might eat Remy in one swift bite.

8:33 am

walk in shower and I would be set:)

8:34 am

That would take some contruction and funds, MLFAN.

8:34 am

ruby lunch dinner snack etc lol

8:34 am

They chase mice, but never catch them (cute, fluffy, long-haired ones)

8:34 am

scrab I assumed but I am used to it

8:34 am

I have a stall shower--would that work?

8:34 am

probably

8:35 am

they also run into the garage when I open it in the morning because ONCE there was a bird inside

8:35 am

I have friends with rabbits, cats, and dogs all living together happily.

8:36 am

mostly they bark if a cat comes onto the property

8:36 am

I like to think that they'd snuggle up with a rabbit

8:36 am

My bunnies thump when deer, raccoons, and other critters are outside.

8:36 am

scrab I have heard they can get along

8:37 am

is the an6 a pl?

I don't think pu6/7 are especially easy to see words

10:29 am

hi squr

10:30 am

there are very few foods that I don't like. I'll try almost anything when I travel. It is one of the things that makes traveling interesting

10:30 am

the other PU 6 is the plural of the finely prepared food

10:30 am

hairy dolphin? I googled it and the urban dictionary definition appeared. Pretty bad.

10:30 am

well.. you eat raw fish kje.. that says enough right there

10:30 am

10:33 am

y car for the pu 6/7

10:33 am

*Gets Hursh a t-shirt that says FIRM ABOUT FERMENTATION

10:33 am

thanks molly!

10:34 am

i don't like yogurt tho

10:34 am

Lord Stanley was just good, Ru, doesn't deserve the hype

10:34 am

As for Google searches, my suggestion is don't search HAIRY anything

10:34 am

ah.. haven't heard anything about that place kje

10:34 am

I just ate at prospect and liked that

10:35 am

it's probably to do with being a Highly Sensitive Person - things are more intense to me. i can't do any spicy things either. basically things that are really strong flavors, are overwhelming to me.

10:35 am

i eat yogurt sometimes

10:35 am

words to live by Molly

*Makes Hurshy some plain boiled potatoes and bland spice-less chicken

10:35 am

*shaves his legs*

10:35 am

10:36 am

molly, you just live to serve, don't you

10:36 am

oh..

10:36 am

I don't follow the chronicle that much.. Bauer is kind of a dumbshit

2:07 pm

I wanted to use the cabbage left over from another recipe and I have lots of potatoes.

2:07 pm

I'm watching the Seahawks get their butts handed to them on a platter!

2:07 pm

I am a pretty good cook, if I do say so myself :)

2:09 pm

and my friends downstairs are willing to try whatever I cook.

probably too cold for the seahawks

i like to cook but it's so cold here i won't go out to shop

so i'm mining the pantry and freezer lol

2:12 pm

where are you blah?

I'm in Dallas, actually it's up to 40 deg now so not too bad. It was 25 this am

but i hate hate hate the cold

2:13 pm

No kidding Kim, the Seahawks look like crap in this game.

2:13 pm

I hate the cold too. but I have to eat

I know, right? And my meals have been a bit lacking in veggies. So i will have to suck it up and go to the store

2:15 pm

I try to get stuff for at least several meals. I usually freeze some of what I cook.

2:15 pm

It is such a joy to have the kitchen all to myself.

2:15 pm

It is such a joy to have the kitchen all to myself.

Me too. I have to restock my freezer with soups, stews etc.

I bet! Are you loving your new apartment?

2:16 pm

yes I am

2:17 pm

and I have two friends downstairs so I can be with others if I want to.

2:17 pm

Oh my, if I didn't go out to shop for food when it was cold we would be in dire straits. I guess you have different choices about that when you live alone.

2:17 pm

There is a nice patio downstairs that I can use when the weather is nice. and a nice space in the back of the building as well.

2:18 pm

It sounds like you found the perfect place, Peri.

I would love to have a balcony or deck but you can't have everything. There are two train stations nearby I can use to go downtown if I want

2:20 pm

and lots of markets and stores nearby too

2:20 pm

I know my way pretty well by now and am learning shortcuts.

I'm a wuss when it comes to the cold. I lived in upstate NY and then Boston for my 1st 48 or so years, and I have had my fill of cold, snow, ice etc.

2:23 pm

yikes it is really cold in those places.

2:23 pm

would think it is warmer where you live now tho, blah

2:25 pm

17 left, bbl to finish

it can get pretty cold (teens and 20s at night) but it's a much shorter duration. Our weather will start to get pleasant

oops pleasant by end of february, usually

2:34 pm

I was born in Dallas blah ... the summers, ugh1

2:36 pm

4:27 pm

I already know the answer to this, how do people survive summers in the south

4:28 pm

The same way people survive winters in the north

pools, icy beverages, and air conditioning

obviously that's the answer for the south

4:30 pm

nd although the summers can be beastly here, it does cool off for spells. We currently have only two AC units in our house. But we are going to get two more.

4:31 pm

Hellooooo Welki :-)

5:31 pm

hi soodle - i read someone's online account of cleaning her kitchen and i got 'inspired' - when she didn't answer if, when she was done, would she clean mine :)

5:32 pm

yipes, if that sentence makes any sense at all

5:33 pm

in fact, i think you're FB friends with her, too

5:33 pm

My house is clean-ish. Like nobody is going to get typhoid, or such-like. But, the clutter! GOD! The clutter....

5:34 pm

i've been trying to follow a regimen - throw one thing out each day

5:34 pm

Lol, Welki - I tend to avoid FB posts that make me feel bad!

5:34 pm

i figure that, by the time we have to downsize, i should have thrown out 11, 245 paper clips :D

5:35 pm

But, but, but..... What if some day I will NEED that basin with a hole in it??

5:36 pm

it really works, though - if you're determined to de-clutter, and can throw one thing out every day, you'll find yourself throwing more than one thing out on some days about the basin, once it's in the trash, it's gone. you can buy another one and put a hole in it if you need it ;)

5:37 pm

Tsk! Stop using logic on me, Welki. Hundreds before you have failed!

5:38 pm

i challenge you, soodle. one thing everyday for a week. doesn't have to be a BIG thing, but something that you've not used in the last six months

5:40 pm

so that glass with the chip in it? yeah, it's pretty - pretty garbage. out with it. the blouse that you bought 5 years ago, the one with the funny sleeves? to the bin. be brave - open that make up drawer and throw out the old mascara, eye shadow and blush.

How do you know so much about my house welki, lol

5:41 pm

i think soodle fainted at the thought.

5:41 pm

I suppose I could begin with one paperclip tomorrow...... But the blouse with the funny sleeves stays. It's a lovely colour....

I think it's a great idea, just shared it with hubby. We should both try it

5:43 pm

if you start small, the big project doesn't overwhelm you

5:43 pm

Shit. They are ganging up on me ....

Sorry Soodle 😉

5:44 pm

we're working our way downstairs into the basement - things have migrated down there over the years and i'm sick of it

5:45 pm

Lol!! Heading for midnight here. Time for me to retire & dream uncluttered dreams. Night night ladies 😄

It would help if when the kids left home they took all their stuff with them

Sweet dreams

5:45 pm

escapism, soodle. dream of an uncluttered house - where flat surfaces shine and there's actually room in the bookcase for a book!

5:46 pm

yeah, well there's the kid stuff, too - unclaimed, unowned.

5:47 pm

before I go.... I must confess that there is still 'stuff' belonging to to me in my parents' house....

5:47 pm

chrissie, since i've started this 'throw one thing out' thing, whenever i buy a new piece of clothing, i either throw out or donate one from the closet

5:48 pm

i have parents' and grandparents' stuff, too - slowly purging what i won't/don't use

5:48 pm

welki, I have been doing that for some time now. gave away some things to goodwill yesterday. now have three tops I have not worn washing, ironed and ready to donate.

5:49 pm

and I am actually getting organized!

5:49 pm

and hello all

5:49 pm

it helps, peri - it feels good to donate good stuff. we recently got rid of a couch and will get rid of two recliners - all donated to those in need

Heard about a book called "stuffocation". Such a good word

5:50 pm

and there is a free store not too far from me. I have donated twice there so far.

5:50 pm

it doesn't even need to be to 'organizations' like good will or salvation army - could be to a young couple or someone whose run into some hard times

5:50 pm

who's

5:50 pm

I gave some things to my niece. and she was happy to get them

5:51 pm

stuffocation!

Nice to help others, especially family

5:52 pm

i know why i've collected all these things and there's no reason for me to do it anymore

Diving into the grid for a bit before sleep overtakes. Bye

5:54 pm

bye, chrissie

5:54 pm

help with se7 pls

5:56 pm

one part of an order of things - sounds a little bit like a shiny circle you'd sew on a poofy sweater

5:56 pm

ty welki, looking

5:57 pm

ty welki, fw

5:58 pm

it really isn't what that word means, i just looked it up, but glad it got the job done :)

6:00 pm

well, time to start supper - have a nice evening, peri

anybody here?

7:22 pm

only me TO but I am working on the grid

7:26 pm

here-ish

7:27 pm

along with all the other lurkers. . .

7:40 pm

here - but i see that it's been some time since bugs posted

7:43 pm

I am doing your idea about getting rid of clutter too welki. It takes forwever but it makes me feel good to remember how many carloads of nonsense I took out of here

7:46 pm

same here - every little bit helps, and the house looks better every day. to me, anyway - to a casual observer, the house looks fine, but i know where everything's hiding :)

7:49 pm

I started doing it when we had to clean out after the parents died. I didn't want my kids to have to decide what to do with all this stuff. If I just keep the things that are meaningful to me, there will be so much less to sort and I will be happy

7:49 pm

precisely - i've had some losses recently and i want things as simplified as possible

8:19 pm

seems i've decluttered the chat - i'll refrain from the cleaning portion of the program :)

8:53 pm

99 left. Better get busy ..

10:12 pm

hi

189 - next grid
