12:31 am

sprite

welcome home, darling! How is it going today?

12:31 am

grannyrose

* hugs * sprite. and * hugs * foxy

12:32 am

grannyrose

fantastic. no pain in upper back. have been to gym. leg issues settled right down after a great night's sleep.

12:33 am

sprite

that is amazing news!

12:33 am

grannyrose

hey broll. nice to see you too honey.

12:34 am

grannyrose

how's Juno doing Sprite?

12:34 am

sprite

in the process of getting an electric wheelchair.

12:34 am

grannyrose

and of course i also would like to hear how you are traveling my dearest.

12:35 am

grannyrose

oh wow! that will be life changing for her. so pleased to read that.

12:35 am

sprite

I managed a walk with Nero yesterday without falling. BPPD seems to be easing off

12:36 am

grannyrose

about flipping time. darn BPPD.

12:36 am

sprite

amen, sistah

12:37 am

grannyrose

and how's Rob?

12:38 am

sprite

not great. Still very low on energy, and often gouty. Knees are hell too. I think, once we manage to get a definitive home, he should start the whole knee replacement process.

12:39 am

grannyrose

is his fluid intake adequate? i find if i'm getting low, that's when my gout plays up the most.

12:39 am

sprite

yes, he is doing great with that, drinking lots of water

12:40 am

grannyrose

if he is reluctant to take magnesium for his knees, there is a magnesium spray available.

12:40 am

sprite

I think his knees are bone-on-bone pain. Don't think the magnesium will help with that.

12:42 am

grannyrose

oh, and omega-3. i take 1500mg twice/day with good effect. and very gentle seated exercises, like lifting a straight leg, then bending at the knee, and straighten again.

12:43 am

grannyrose

oh it does. it kept me going for another 12 months while i waited for my long service to accrue enough so i could have the surgery, and recover.

12:43 am

sprite

okay, will pass it on, won't hurt to try it

12:45 am

grannyrose

do you have access to Painaway cream and or spray? if not, let me know, i will send some over. brilliant herbal compound which helps with inflammation, and bone pain.

12:45 am

sprite

let me check

12:46 am

sprite

no, that is not available here, alas

12:46 am

grannyrose

okay. will send some over for him. not a problem.

12:47 am

sprite

that is wonderful. Let me know the costs and I will pay them

12:47 am

jeanne314

grannyrose -- is that Painaway cream the actual name of it? It sounds like our Voltaren, which is diclofenac topical gel. It's the only topical I've ever found that does anything. I slather it across my knuckles nightly.

12:47 am

grannyrose

i'll send both as sometimes it is too painful to rub the cream in. use the spray, then when it kicks in, rub the cream in.

12:48 am

sprite

hi jeanne, I looked at that but that is not herbal

12:48 am

sprite

will pass it all on, rose, thanks so much

12:48 am

grannyrose

Jeanne, it's a herbal cream, no medication in it like voltaren has.

12:49 am

jeanne314

Oh, aha! I jumped in the convo late (as usual!) ... That would be even so much better! But I see it online, so I will look at ingredients. Many thanks!

12:50 am

sprite

thanks for jumping in, jeanne!

12:50 am

grannyrose

Jeanne people with cardiac issues are not allowed to use medicines for antiflammatory conditions. which is why i went the herbal route.

12:51 am

jeanne314

*oops* I've had two MIs...

12:51 am

jeanne314

Thanks, Doctor.

12:52 am

grannyrose

good that you joined in then. and lol... ex nurse with lots of pharmaceutical back ground.

12:53 am

jeanne314

I will bring that up at next appt. My hear issues were 20 years ago, and so many docs since then, and I don't think they really read beyond the last few pages back, if ya know what I mean.

12:53 am

sprite

our babble community is so knowledgeable. I remember me telling a babbler that you cannot combine certain antidepressants with taking Sint John's Wort. She had herself checked and turned out to have dangerously high levels.

12:54 am

grannyrose

i certainly do Jeanne. and it can be so frustrating.

12:54 am

sprite

oh I know what you mean! Too much work to read a full history...

12:55 am

grannyrose

I remember that Sprite. it was a good call on your part.

12:55 am

jeanne314

At my age, it's longer than War and Peace.

12:55 am

sprite

roflol

12:55 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL i think i'm up to volume 6

12:55 am

sprite

but a much better read

12:56 am

jeanne314

!!!!!!! Too funny !!!!!

1:01 am

grannyrose

jeanne many moons ago i started to compile my medical and surgical history. also my medications, and allergies with the type of reactions. it is all on my laptop. i go in and update whenever something has changed, or been added. then print it out and keep a copy in my handbag. if anything happens to me all the info the medics need is right there.

1:02 am

sprite

that is a smart move

1:03 am

grannyrose

Don knows it's there, as do friends and family.

1:05 am

jeanne314

I did make copies of all my records from my 20 years military service, but I need to get the post-retirement stuff together. And that's coming up to 30 years past. Sigh.

1:05 am

sprite

quite a big job, but worth it, I think

1:06 am

jeanne314

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I always enjoy the conversations and camaraderie that exists in this space...I've played this game since 2007, I think.

1:07 am

jeanne314

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, my dears, and Happy Babbling!

1:07 am

sprite

it was lovely to hear from you, jeanne!

1:08 am

sprite

oh my, rose... I have been at this game for 20 years!

1:09 am

grannyrose

shhhh, i won't tell anyone..... they all think you are a smart 30-something. lol

1:09 am

grannyrose

bye Jeanne.

1:09 am

sprite

*giggles* I am sure they will buy the 30-something part. But smart... nah LOL

1:10 am

sprite

fireflies. Short but sweet.

1:10 am

jeanne314

TTFN!

1:10 am

grannyrose

* gulp * and i've been here 17 years... that means we have been friends for..... * mumbles into wi4 *

1:11 am

sprite

1:12 am

grannyrose

1:12 am

hey hoke...we made it to Friday

9:50 am

hokie carla

9:51 am

moolingwa

61 left - on a pretty good home wifi

9:52 am

hokie carla

going a little better now. everyone else must've gotten off.

9:54 am

hokie carla

oh, found the right side R

9:55 am

hokie carla

some kind of squawking bird here. kind of annoying. we did hear several whippoorwills last night.

9:55 am

moolingwa

ooh, nice

9:57 am

moolingwa

f'n great!

9:58 am

hokie carla

my friend told me she uses this bird app in her yard called merlin bird or something that listens and tells you what the birds are singing. will have to get that when I get back on better signal.

9:58 am

moolingwa

yeah, my daughter uses that too

10:04 am

welki

merlin's a wonderful app - only pain is downloading all the maps for the geographical areas you want to monitor. try downloading the app and just the map for where you are - shouldn't take too long

10:08 am

moolingwa

the identification process can be a little frustrating at times too

10:09 am

welki

true, but the birdsong to bird id is pretty nifty

10:10 am

moolingwa

yeah, I haven't used that part of it at all

hokie, i sent you a sample recording from the app. check it out when you can.

10:14 am

welki

there'd have been absolutely no way i could have known what bird was making that call. *indebted to merlin for lifers*

can i get a clue for the 2nd FE6 pls?

4:39 pm

Soodle

It’s (alledgedly) a vegetable Shirlokc. Fe, double cons, vowel & cons. For the life of me I can’t think of any thing that rhymes with it.

4:40 pm

ch1212

It's also used as a spice :)

4:40 pm

Soodle

Actually. Rhymes whit a dog’s house!

4:41 pm

ch1212

Perfect clue, soodle.

4:41 pm

Soodle

😊

4:43 pm

Shirlockc

i got that fe6, i think then I need the other fe6

4:44 pm

Shirlockc

which i now figured out

4:44 pm

Shirlockc

i should have seen that one given how i'm a cat lady (the kind with no children)

4:44 pm

Soodle

In Tom & Jerry, not Jerry?

5:20 pm

MollyL

I think fe6 is used more as a spice or herb than a vegetable
