ty
yay {{sprite}} and {{flosey}} hugs and kisses to both of you
we had no internet for over 24 hours.
*hugs rose* How frustrating
I spent yesterday feeling rotten because the children and my dear husband had forgotten mother's day...
then, this morning, I realised mother's day is next week in the netherlands, LOL
same here.... and you thought you had been forgotten. here, have a hug anyway.
thanks :) Am truly shamefaced.
and here's a hug from across the way :-)
thanks Une :D *hugs*

gnite ladies -- great to see you :-)
lovely to see you too. How are you and yours?
and you, Rose? How was your day?
phantom: murder
If you can have brie and cheddar why not edam?
tried that too :) Hiya Frances, long time no see. I hope you are well?
Hello sprite. Yes, thank you - apart from my knees which are going from bad to worse.
Are you well?
sounds very painful :( Will you get replacements? Yes, I am fine! Thank you.
I wish. Surgeon said he wouldn't be operating because my BMI is too and and that makes the anaesthetic too dangerous. Went I went to my doctor to renew my painkiller prescription he asked if I had considered gastric band surgery. I asked why the anaesthetic wouldn't be dangerous for that and he wouldn't answer. I said that I guess the answer was a funding issue and he reluctantly agreed. In the meantime my knees are getting really bad.
BMI too high.
rerod
that is awful :( I do know that for gastric bypass operations, the anaestheticians are trained for the extra risks around operating on people with high BMI.
Oops. Wrong box.
*giggles* Not valid. I tried it right away
So they should for any surgery. If I had been in a road accident and needed surgery would they refuse to operate? I think not.
you are absolutely right, they should be, and they would
Makes me angry.
it is stupid, because the whole reason you cannot lose weight is because you cannot move
Exactly. Someone made me see red recently when she said my problem is that I am a fat lazy old cow who could do with going for a good run. I'd like to go for a good walk. Fat chance of that.
wth???? That lady (and I use the term loosely) should be kicked in her ass, be put in shoes filled with stones and be made to walk 10 miles.
I have to say that it did really upset me.
of course it did. That is very very hurtful and unfair.
And by the way, she's no lady.
no, she isn't. That's what I meant with using the term loosely.
But forget me, how are you?
I am really fine. Enjoying life and the company of my loved ones.
Wonderful. I hope the family are well.
they are. Kids are grown, can you believe it?
all grown up
Doesn't time fly? My wonderful granddaughter will be fifteen next month.
Are they off to uni?
wow! Yes, time really flies. That is amazing, 15 already.
my girl is off to uni. My boy was, quit, started another study, quit again, and is now finding his way into working for his living.
I am so lucky. She really is amazing.
in the midst of puberty, I take it... becoming a self-sufficient lady?
Wow! I hope they both make a success of whatever they choose to do,
they will, I have faith in both of them. They have to choose their own way and do it in a manner that fits their personalities.
fireflies. I have to go, alas. It was wonderful, catching up with you, Frances. Good luck with and healing vibes to your knees. *hug*
rose, darling, I bet that was nice company ringing your doorbell. Sleep well and *hugs*
Ellie is the most caring person I know. From the age of two and a half the only thing she has ever wanted to do is become an equine vet. She works very hard to make sure that happens. Her school grades are excellent.
I am sure they will make you proud of them.
Thank you sprite. Great to catch up. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
