morning sprite. * hugs *

12:58 am

sprite

hello darling *hugs*

12:59 am

grannyrose

how are you today?

1:01 am

sprite

tired af. Not really getting a chance to recover fully. Rob managed to overdo his shooting with the new (and heavier) bow. He was out of commission yesterday, insane muscle pain, probably triggered a gout attack as well. Men...!

1:02 am

grannyrose

ugh... silly man. can you take it easy today?

1:03 am

grannyrose

proem

1:04 am

grannyrose

eekkkkeeee. sorry

1:04 am

sprite

depends on how much recovered Rob is. If he can drive and lift a bag, yes. If not, I will have to get the groceries. And cook. And walk Nero. You'd think he'd build up his time on the new bow, right? I mean... he shot at least 60 arrows that night. Where is the common sense in that?

1:04 am

sprite

ah, thanks for that oddball

1:05 am

grannyrose

* giggle * guess which letter i'm working on...lol

1:06 am

grannyrose

there's no sense in it at all. tell him to take a pill, and here's the shopping list.

1:07 am

sprite

I laughed at him yesterday, telling him he was being VERY dramatic about muscle pain. But it made more sense when we realised it was also gout.

1:08 am

sprite

I told him to get a hot shower and slather on your cream! And I gave him paracetamol. He did all that, then went back to bed :D

1:09 am

grannyrose

so has he taken his treater tabs for the gout?

1:09 am

grannyrose

nice for some people, to be able to go back to bed.

1:09 am

sprite

yes he has. But he is still in the build-up stage with those. Has to get regular blood tests to see when the dose is right.

1:11 am

sprite

ikr? One of the few things I really envy in him. He can easily sleep when he does not feel good or is in pain. Me, not at all. No matter how ill I am, I cannot lie in bed without aching hips, so there I am, in a chair, feeling lousy. And there he is, sleeping like a baby!

1:11 am

grannyrose

huh? i just take 2 tabs, then one every 6 hours until the pain is back under control, then roll on with the preventer tabs.

1:11 am

sprite

ah well, I do not mind him sleeping. I mind not being able to myself

1:12 am

sprite

oh, right. Yes, he has taken those as well. Problem is, they do not always work. Didn't seem to do much yesterday. We will see how it is this morning. Once he wakes up, lol

1:12 am

grannyrose

so what is the actual medicine he is taking. for treating, and for preventing.

1:12 am

sprite

oh dear. Let me go see. Those names!

1:14 am

sprite

allopurinol and colchicine

1:14 am

grannyrose

no honey. stay where you are. just let me know later.

1:15 am

grannyrose

that's what i'm on. my GP never ordered blood tests when i started. something weird about having to have blood tests. is his doctor usually on the level?

1:16 am

sprite

very much so. They measure the levels of uric acid, so they can judge if the dosage is right.

1:17 am

grannyrose

then maybe because i was a nurse she thought i would be able to manage it by myself. i did ask her if she needed to check my uric acid levels, and she said no.

1:17 am

sprite

well, they do here. Every four weeks until it stays down and even.

1:19 am

grannyrose

so the poor man has to be stabbed every 4 weeks. it's a wonder he hasn't needle phobia.

1:19 am

grannyrose

recon

1:19 am

grannyrose

omg... sorry.

1:19 am

sprite

nah, that is no biggie.

1:26 am

1:37 am

sprite

not a common word

1:37 am

grannyrose

it's a pretty twisty one

1:52 am

sprite

Rob takes Etoricoxib as well when he has a gout attack

1:53 am

sprite

fireflies and poofing. Lots to do today. Rob is up and it is definitely a gout attack, whole wrist is huge, red and crazy painful

1:56 am

6:59 am

aslindy

hello all

7:34 am

rururocks

hi from me too good morning lindy

7:34 am

aslindy

hi ruru, how's it going?

7:35 am

rururocks

ok for me.. weather is pleasant and it's a day off work..big week ahead of me though

7:36 am

rururocks

are you done moving yet?

7:37 am

aslindy

well, I am living in the new house. my husband is still back in the old house until it sells and he retires - first week of November.

7:38 am

rururocks

wow... you bought the new one without selling the other? good for you

7:38 am

aslindy

I've done very little during the week I've been here, because I've been sick with a cold and really exhausted. Finally feeling mostly better though.

7:38 am

aslindy

yes, we were fortunate to be able to do that.

7:38 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. it's cold season kicking up.

7:39 am

rururocks

I wanted to do that too but with the real estate market being so stagnant I didn't want to stretch myself too far. it's a lot of dough to put out to do that.. good for you

7:39 am

aslindy

yes, and unfortunately I gave it to my husband before he left, so he's sick now, too.

7:39 am

rururocks

ugh.. sorry

7:40 am

aslindy

we got a lot of help from our daughter and son-in-law for the down payment.

7:40 am

rururocks

that's nice to hear.. usually it is the other way around

7:41 am

rururocks

I'm glad you're closer to your daughter

7:42 am

rururocks

(Calls phantom scorpion before hokie does)

7:42 am

aslindy

hi, babblers - chilly 26F here this morning

8:58 am

hokie carla

welki! not sure what it got down to here but when I looked at my watch about an hour ago it said it was 39.

8:59 am

welki

brrrr - you're camping?

8:59 am

hokie carla

very chilly. gotta go through my coats today and pick some for donating.

8:59 am

hokie carla

no, I'm at home

8:59 am

Norma

n

9:01 am

welki

i should do the same

9:04 am

hokie carla

9:05 am

welki

9:06 am

hokie carla

I just made it to 21 and moved on

9:11 am

hokie carla

phantom brainier

9:13 am

hurshy

morning

9:13 am

hokie carla

howdy hurshy

9:14 am

welki

hi hursh

9:14 am

hurshy

TGIS

9:15 am

hurshy

how are y'all

9:16 am

hurshy

oh there's that ridiculous po7

9:16 am

hokie carla

okay I guess, how about you?

9:17 am

hurshy

it's been a rough week, i'm glad it's over and it's saturday morning and a lovely fall day

9:18 am

hurshy

but ok you guess doesn't sound great - is it bc of the hurricane

9:18 am

hokie carla

55 left and HOET. 13-17-15-7-1-1-1

9:20 am

hokie carla

was just looking at google maps to see if I could make it up to visit my family. normally 2 hours, it's showing me I can actually make it with back roads in 3hr 22min. but sending me through small towns that I know got hit hard, so I'd be afraid I'd get there and they'd say essential only.

9:20 am

hurshy

google maps doesn't know about essential only rules?

9:20 am

hokie carla

also thinking about the people that lost their houses and all their winter clothes and now it's getting cold at night

9:21 am

hokie carla

I don't know, I guess they would show the roads closed that are essential only

9:22 am

hokie carla

also today starts Hokie Hike, which is an annual thing I do and all my hikes are closed. so I guess you are right, my blah is related to the hurricane. but at least I still have everything and everybody.

9:26 am

hokie carla

and sorry you had a rough week

9:27 am

hurshy

you could design yourself a little ceremony to recognize and mourn the losses, both your own and others. you know, like... light a candle for each loss you can think of, pray for those whose losses are really bad... might help you process the feelings

9:29 am

hokie carla

I saw the quilt shop I went to a couple of times when I moved here was looking for donations for quilters and sewists who lost things, so I am going to work on that too today.

9:30 am

hurshy

that's a nice idea

9:30 am

hurshy

that's a nice idea

9:30 am

hokie carla

I do have 2 older machines just sitting here boxed up

9:31 am

hurshy

it's always great when you can get unused things into hands where they will be used

9:31 am

hokie carla

yep

9:33 am

phaeton

any clues for the pr10/91?

9:33 am

hurshy

ooh this is the first i've heard of it

9:33 am

phaeton

it's before the pr9

9:34 am

hurshy

this is the first i've heard of that also

9:35 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't have any of those and didn't know what they were. are we for something?

9:36 am

hokie carla

ooh, found the 10

9:36 am

rururocks

people who like bombs

9:36 am

hokie carla

and a 7 I didn't have

9:36 am

hurshy

yikes

9:36 am

hokie carla

or people who like a certain kind of energy

9:37 am

rururocks

we in California don't like that kind of energy

9:37 am

hokie carla

so you're saying you're not pr10

9:37 am

rururocks

I'm not.. I'm pro solar

9:37 am

hurshy

you probably don't need it, you gots lots of sun for solar

9:38 am

hurshy

and yeah, nuclear is tricksy cause all the toxic crap and when things go wrong it's, you know, really really bad

9:39 am

hokie carla

my u5 is a n7 physicist and went over to japan when the tsunami messed that plant up

9:39 am

hurshy

there's never been a solar energy disaster in the news

9:40 am

hokie carla

well, just because something hasn't been in the news doesn't mean it never happened, but it probably hasn't

9:40 am

hurshy

although idk if there are maybe some exploitative extraction issues with elements used in MAKING solar panels

9:41 am

hokie carla

soooo, am I the only one still looking for the pr9?

9:41 am

hurshy

no, i am also

9:42 am

hurshy

it is not prolerini, in case you wondered

9:42 am

hokie carla

nor proclear

9:42 am

hokie carla

and that's just 8

9:42 am

hurshy

oh oh it's related to the 10

9:43 am

hurshy

the latin plural of the center of the atom

9:43 am

hokie carla

yep, saw it as soon as you said related. also didn't have the root.

9:43 am

welki

thanks, hursh

9:43 am

hokie carla

so both those were twofers

9:44 am

hokie carla

anyone know the 8 stats?

9:44 am

ChampFit

th8 45

9:44 am

hurshy

th8i/45

9:44 am

hurshy

that one is more usable in life

9:44 am

hokie carla

duh

9:44 am

hokie carla

had the similar 7s

9:45 am

hokie carla

now 12-12-13-6

9:47 am

hurshy

once i was observing a third grade class, and they were learning about contractions. i haven't, i don't, i can't...

9:47 am

hurshy

and this one kid asked if you could say "i've not" instead of "i haven't" and the teacher was just like, no

9:47 am

hurshy

and i was like, uh, yeah you totally can, it's just not in as common use today, but in older books they definitely said that

9:48 am

hokie carla

well that's dumb, of course you can

9:48 am

welki

yipes - how'd you restrain yourself?

9:48 am

hurshy

well then yesterday i saw this clip of david letterman interviewing a young keanu reeves, and letterman said "keanu, that's an unusual name, i've not heard it before"

9:48 am

welki

*hands out emergency duct tape*

9:48 am

hurshy

and i was like HA so it's not even that old, it's been said on TELEVISION

9:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, and it sounds completely normal in that sentence

9:49 am

hokie carla

I probably wouldn't use it but wouldn't think it weird

9:49 am

hurshy

i think i went to the kid who asked the question privately and told them they could... maybe. it was years ago so i don't remember for sure.

9:50 am

hokie carla

does anyone else keep seeing molecule?

9:50 am

welki

he likely loved having a co-conspirator :D

9:50 am

hurshy

i think it was a girl but yeah lol

9:51 am

hurshy

i keep thinking of prometheus or promethean hokie

9:52 am
