*hugs* and helloooo sprite. just home from the pool

1:49 am

hello my dear friend! Still wet behind the ears, no doubt :D

1:51 am

ha ha. no, i dried there... had a compliment today from one of the people who are there on a regular basis. he told Don that he could see how much progress i had made just in the last 6 months.

1:51 am

oh wow, that is lovely

1:54 am

i'm really chuffed. i know i have lost weight, not a lot but enough to make my clothes fit better. and i think i told you? that i am now producing endorphins. so when i exercise i actually feel good about it.

1:54 am

no you didn't tell me that yet, that is awesome, honey

1:55 am

i am now wondering if i am starting to produce other enzymes which i never have before. for instance, melatonin, as i am actually sleeping better and longer.

1:56 am

really wonderful

1:58 am

enough about me. how's you? are you feeling the benefit of the probiotics?

1:59 am

I think so. Less diarrhea. But it is early days, only started on Monday. I think it takes time to build up good beasties again.

2:00 am

well it would seeing as how they were all knocked off by the antibiotics. how's Rob doing?

2:03 am

pretty good. He limits his beer drinking to once a week now, moves about more and started eating breakfast. I also have the impression the medication is doing something good. He seems less tired, and less winded after climbing the stairs.

2:03 am

oh wow! that's great news.

2:05 am

he doesn't feel it yet himself. But I think I see progress. He is less grey looking too.

2:05 am

that's brilliant sprite.

2:09 am

yeah. I am a little less worried. But still very alert.

2:12 am

understandably. i have to watch Don like a hawk. his memory is not good. he forgets stuff, like pain meds, times for appointments, even with phone alerts, he still forgets.

2:15 am

yeah, Rob is more forgetful nowadays too. Short term memory is sliding.

2:17 am

i've started putting his appointments into my calendar too. that way i get an alert as well. i've tried to not prompt him, hoping he will work it out, but he really is floundering.

2:18 am

sometimes the most loving thing we can do is be their memory.

2:20 am

i know sprite. but it breaks my he5 to see him like this. he still has a formidable memory for stuff like historic facts , and of course anything to do with films... lol

2:21 am

yeah, but that is memory from longer ago. I believe that is not uncommon when growing older.

2:21 am

i'm just glad he remembers me sometimes.

2:22 am

*grins* Welllllll he has a real life reminder living with him

2:23 am

and we do go back over 40 years ago. i guess that makes me an old memory... don't say it sprite, just think it.... lol

2:24 am

*giggles*

2:24 am

I will just say.... a golden memory

2:24 am

Hi all! Rose and Sprite - you are so blessed to have your partners in life with you still.

3:00 am

*hugs* kam. dearest we know. you would give the universe to have him back.

3:00 am

hi Kam! You are so right. I am so grateful.

I know how hard it is with memory loss. But I was blessed I had him with me as long as I did.

3:27 am

omg trying to get a real person at DHL to help me with a parcel... they drive me bananas. Chatbot, telephone number no longer in use, waiting cue on website resetting twice already.

3:29 am

*hands sprite a glass of sangria* would you like a valium with that dear?

3:30 am

lol yes, that should do the trick!

3:30 am

*giggles* figure you won't ca4 who killed the cat after that lot.

3:31 am

lolol

3:33 am

DHL is the worst delivery service in my area. I hate it when an order ships with them. They just throw boxes wherever.

3:35 am

I want to change the delivery service point. Should be easy. But I can only choose in the wrong area. We will see if the real person can change it to where I live right now.

3:35 am

Good luck! I hope your parcel arrives safely.

3:36 am

let's hope so. I think it will end up being sent back to the sender, and they will have to resend it to the right address. Madness.

3:36 am

*rolls eyes* we have startrack. they will take the package back to the depot, saying no-one was home, when our car is in the drive. they simply do not give you more than 5 seconds to answer the door.

3:38 am

oh yes, same here. And we have another service that only delivers in the evenings. You just cannot get them to deliver during the day. I HATE that.

3:38 am

I have a long driveway that is gated. Packages are usually left inside the gate. Yesterday, an Amazon delivery guy called me from the gate to see if it was ok to come in! He delivered it right into my hands. I was impressed!

3:38 am

I am in bed by 7 pm. Not really eager to wake up and get out of bed at 10 pm!

3:39 am

wow! kam how amazing. and good grief sprite, and they call that service?

3:40 am

wow Kam!

3:40 am

rose: yeah. Crazy.

3:44 am

okay, I made it through to a person. Who said she was gonna read the chat with the chatbot, and to give her a minute. After 10 mins I got the message the session was over and to fill in a questionnaire about how the contact with the person went...

3:44 am

back in a new waiting cue now, grrrrrrrrrrrr

3:45 am

I had a biopsy of a little spot on my arm yesterday - the doctor, who usually ignores spots, didn't like the looks of it, so wants to rule out melanoma. Wish me good results!!

3:45 am

fireflies

3:46 am

Yay Sprite! I still have 77 left and they will have to wait till tomorrow.

3:46 am

oh sweetie. Holding you in my thoughts and prayers.

3:46 am

Thank you sweetie.

3:46 am

*hugs* to you both. Poofing.

3:46 am

3:47 am

G'day to Rose, I'm poofing too. Time to sleep.

Congratulations to Sannich for being the first smarty pants at the flip 😊

I will not type afro today. I will not type afro today.

7:23 am

I did it for you.

:D

champ, what time do you get up every day? it seems very early.

7:25 am

Right before 5 a.m. But I'm in bed reading by 9 p, reading.

wow

phantoms tornado and torpedo

7:34 am

Champ and I are up with the chickens. 😊

my brother gets up about that time as well. I'm definitely not made that way.

7:35 am

Yep. You'll likely never see me at the flip. If I'm up that late, it's a party. Phantom: forehead

7:36 am

I sleep later in the fall and winter. Now the birds wake me up.

7:37 am

If I'm up that late it is because I have had an afternoon nap, which is unheard of in my life.

7:37 am

I still work, and I exercise in the morning to get it out of the way.

I woke up at 6:30 this morning, which is unheard of

7:40 am

Were you at the flip?

no, but I was reading in bed. not sure what time I fell asleep but it was probably midnight.

7:41 am

At this time of the year, the morning is the only time to exercise. The rest of the day is too hot.

true

trap

it's a trap I mean

7:42 am

It is going to be gross here over the weekend. Mid-ninties.

7:42 am

And yet it will be 70 in Boston. Go figure.

7:44 am

I've done it for 22 years. At first, it was before the kids got up. Then it was a before work. Whatevs. It's ingrained now. But on vacay, I can sleep with the best of 'em!

yeah, supposed to be high 90s in Charlotte, only high 80s here I think.

7:46 am

I like early mornings. It's a special time of day. And like Champ, I have done it for years. For me, it's to work flex hours and avoid traffic.

7:47 am

Yep!

7:48 am

Don't tell anyone in South Bend that notre is not a word. *Blesses self*

the few times I have done it I enjoyed being finished with exercising, etc., but my natural clock is more midnight-1am ish to 9ish. I have been trying to work on my "sleep hygiene".

7:49 am

Sleep hygiene 🤣😂🤣

I don't even have kids at home anymore but I still feel that nighttime is my only me time, which I know is crazy since I don't have a job.

surely you've heard sleep hygiene in your medical transcriptions? one of my good friends was a PA and told me I had bad sleep hygiene like 15 years ago and then one of my doctors just used the phrase a couple of months ago.

7:52 am

Sleep habits is fine for me. You know how I feel about the trendy words tossed around the internet.

if you think 15 years is trendy ;)

I did always think it was an odd use of they word hygiene though

*the

7:55 am

It is. It sounds like you need to spray with FDS before you go to bed.

which is why I put it in quotes before

phantom front

8:00 am

Someone just played the word Uveous on me in Words with Friends. Good grief!!!

8:00 am

well I'd keep an eye out for that player

8:01 am

Well played!

oh, is that an eye word?

8:07 am

Yes. The "vasuclar tunic" of the eye. Which of course I didn't know. Coincidentally, I'm going to the eye doctor today. Must throw that out in conversation when I'm there. Ha!

8:08 am

How's my oveous looking today doc?

lol, doctor, my uveous is killing me

8:09 am

Oh, that's way better!

8:10 am

Phatom: petard

8:11 am

hokie's comment lens itself towards humor

watch out, another pun thread!

ruru's the master, I'm just a pupil.

8:12 am

don't get too cornea

maybe we should put a lid on it before it gets out of hand

8:13 am

it'll pass in a blink

where's shirl? she always wants in on these. she should be looking out all the time for one.

8:14 am

out of sight out of mind

I hope no one lashes out at us

8:16 am

it might tear us apart

8:16 am

Some people think this punning is very low brow

iris going to say the same thing

8:16 am

actually it's a sign of intelligence

I never watched Mr. Rogers so no idea

9:13 am

phantom - feather

9:16 am

Oh you lucky person you. Your childhood was not scarred by those creepy ass puppets.

9:20 am

Since you didn't have kids, ru, it would be creepier than the puppets if you had watched it.

9:24 am

I still wonder how many kids had nightmares about Lady Elaine Fairchild

9:53 am

morning...quick five minutes before my next call

10:47 am

<---crawling toward lickety today

11:20 am

Crawling? Oh the drama!

11:23 am

Although I can see why anyone would want to use the list. This is one of the oddest collections of words I have ever seen in one grid.

SMom was spot on about this grid. One of the worst I have ever seen.

1:09 pm

goodness! I'd never have tried that word, thanks Bea

1:13 pm

I guess you can't be zealous or overly zealous about nuts

1:16 pm

You can, but only with two words

1:22 pm

Imagine how much bigger the Enable list would be if you could just use that as a suffix to anything people get obsessive about

1:23 pm

:)

4:06 pm

yeah, that top A was way harder than it looked

4:07 pm

and i want to know if it made you feel dumb cause they were easy and you didn't see them, or cause they were weird

it looks pretty hard

4:07 pm

they weren't easy

4:07 pm

The to8 is in your t phantoms, carla...extend one of them.

4:07 pm

two of them weren't anyway, but when you see your first corner tile has 4 words...you think, this should be easy

4:23 pm

ah, found my last e on the right

that was my first 8

4:24 pm

well didn't have to make you find that one did we hursh

4:24 pm

i think we should also get un8 = un + af6

that E on the right is keeping me from HOET

4:24 pm

yeah, it's tricky

4:24 pm

one is a whacky 8

4:24 pm

the other is a tricky 7

4:25 pm

got the first two letters for both inadvertently today

yes, banned in the US

sudafed I think

4:29 pm

4:29 pm

4:30 pm

There's an ec8 that I don't have

4:30 pm

ecto... ectoplasm, ectomorph, ecto...

4:30 pm

yeah the ec8 is whack...I just made up something and it worked

yeah, was it part of fen-phen? google says banned in 2004 and was weight loss.

4:30 pm

and when it runs off you get a knife and spread it back on

4:57 pm

big cat has come to bug me to feed him an hour early

What is "too much icing?" That's like "too much cheese".

4:57 pm

5:01 pm

that's mool's version of a clue

5:01 pm

I am a man of mysteries

5:02 pm

i think you could use nair to deha4

5:02 pm

who knows what I say?

lol, did not have that H

5:03 pm

a small mountain would have a peaklet

5:03 pm

you saying you're bald hoke?

ps - cakelet is neither in the grid nor a real word

5:04 pm

some of Tolkein's characters could have been partorcs

found the 8 after typing -or version twice. which is neither a real word nor an 8

5:05 pm

i feel like it'd be worse to be a partorc than an orc

I almost hit a deer today

5:05 pm

well it would have been if it was a pro-

5:05 pm

phantom deplete and replete

5:09 pm

I do that all the time hursh

5:09 pm
