* climbs out of mind-numbed state * cooee and g'day from me. * hugs * sprite. finally getting rid of the drugs.
1:16 am
sprite
hi sweetie *hugs* You drug addict you :D :D And how are the pain levels?
1:17 am
grannyrose
much better thanks honey. FM under control at last. and you? did you day get better at all?
1:18 am
sprite
yesterday was pretty okay. I slept well and I didn't have too much to do. Asked Caya to come and pick up Lewi in the evening, rather than this morning so that I did not have to walk this morning. Slept lousy last night though, so am a bit wobbly.
1:18 am
sprite
we applied for two appartments. Please pray for us that one will be the one...
1:19 am
grannyrose
have slept most of the night last night, right through to 5:30am. another ' nap ' this afternoon.
1:19 am
sprite
ah wonderful. You need to sleep lots to get through the dregs of the ketamine. But so glad it regulates the pain for a while.
1:20 am
grannyrose
sorry to see about the disturbed sleep. good for Caya picking up Lewi earlier. what are the spartments like? not a lot of stairs i hope.
1:21 am
sprite
nooooo we only apply for one level apartments. Either ground level or with elevators. No stairs at all.
1:21 am
grannyrose
swings and roundabout with our sleeping patterns. there's just no rhyme nor reason, is there?
1:22 am
sprite
nope. Every night is a surprise, lol.
1:22 am
grannyrose
are the apartments closer to where you were before?
1:23 am
sprite
a little. They are in the area where Caya and Juno are going to move to in a year or two. Around Arnhem.
1:24 am
grannyrose
oh great!! that will be good for all of you. how's Rob doing?
1:25 am
sprite
he is improving. Has walked a little. Still on the thick socks but the feet are getting slimmer.
1:26 am
grannyrose
Praise the Lord, and pass the biscuits. about time. you poor darlings.
1:27 am
sprite
fingers crossed his inflammation levels will not go up again now that the last AB is done.
1:28 am
grannyrose
with the extra fluid gone that should be a forgone conclusion.
1:28 am
sprite
from your fingertips to the Big Guy's ears
1:30 am
grannyrose
btw, i'm now down 6.5kgs. still can't tell where from, but the scales say it's gone. in old terms, that's a whole stone gone.
1:30 am
sprite
awesome, honey. No matter where from, it makes you healthier
1:32 am
grannyrose
and i can dance the nutbush line dance. four directions. still not game to jump to change direction though.
1:32 am
sprite
forget those jumps. The rest is good enough :D
1:33 am
grannyrose
tomorrow seeing the cardiologist for my annual check up. i hope my echocardiogram is still looking good. and pray for my blood results please. i could do with some good numbers in that direction.
1:34 am
sprite
fingers crossed
1:35 am
grannyrose
thanks honey. always a good sign when you cross those pretty fingers. legs too please, and while you're at it eyes would be kind of good too. but watch out for the walls.
1:36 am
sprite
don't push it, lolol
1:36 am
grannyrose
* giggle * awww go on, pretty please. the mind pictures are driving me crazy...
1:37 am
sprite
look here, girl, fingers crossed is already a big thing. Try typing in babble with them and see for yourself. No crossing any thing other, ya hear?!
1:38 am
grannyrose
* snort *
1:40 am
grannyrose
is it to be an easy day for you, do you think? will you be able to take things slower?
1:41 am
sprite
yes, today is a really slow day. Only Nero. It is mega hot here, over 35C which is huge in this country, especially with the humidity. So we sit in front of the ventilator. Lol, Rob put one of them on the floor for the dogs and they love it!
1:42 am
grannyrose
ugh, you can keep the 35C.
1:43 am
sprite
yeah, I don't like it either. It is like having two elephants sitting on my shoulders. Quite heavy and debilitating and it doesn't do much for my fashion statements either
1:44 am
grannyrose
i can imagine. nothing left hidden, huh?
1:44 am
sprite
they do hide their tails, but not their tr5s
1:45 am
grannyrose
so uncomfortable too. and everything perspiring.
1:46 am
sprite
still, they are good company. They remember all the stuff I forget.
1:47 am
grannyrose
you forget??? never !! a mind like a mousetrap you have.
1:47 am
sprite
fireflies. Good grid!
1:48 am
grannyrose
yes it was. flowed well. * hugs * keep cool honey.
1:49 am
sprite
will do. You go enjoy the last of your trip, grin. And sleep well tonight.
1:49 am
grannyrose
you can count on it. love, love, love.

9:14 am
hurshy
now, here is a random question
9:15 am
hurshy
does anyone know of a program for Mac that you can not only set an alarm, but you can use a picture of your own choosing, that will pop up when the time of the alarm is reached?
9:15 am
swmbo
Morning Babblers! It is a nice sunny Sunday here in Nova Scotia.
9:15 am
hurshy
because i use the clock app that's built in but that can only have text, no picture
9:16 am
ChampFit
No clue hursh. I'm a PC gal.
9:16 am
swmbo
Sorry I can't answer your question hurshy.
9:16 am
BzznBea
Carla would know
9:25 am

morning, all.

hursh - macbook?
9:39 am
ChampFit
FW! Last word pa5/14.
9:43 am
welki
try alarmy or myalarm on the app store - i don't know of a way to incorporate a photo into the built in alarm feature
9:44 am
welki
(they're free apps)
9:46 am
hurshy
hmm, they aren't showing up for me in the app store
9:47 am
welki
well rats - they're for iphone/ipad. my bad
9:48 am
welki
ha - should have checked this out first. here's the ai from googling: There's no direct way to set an alarm with a photo on a MacBook using the built-in Clock app or any other Apple-provided feature. However, you can use third-party apps like Parallels Toolbox or create a custom alarm using Shortcuts and Automator, which allows you to incorporate a photo or image when the alarm goes off
9:51 am
hurshy
i have been trying random apps to see
9:52 am
hurshy
i'm just trying out one now called Smart Reminder, will see if it works
9:52 am
hurshy
but thank you for that info, will try if this one does not work
9:54 am

10:07 am
hurshy
weird, this app LOOKS like it would do what i want but then it just doesn't seem to actually access the picture i selected
10:36 am
hurshy
now i'm trying with the Calendar app cause it lets you add an attachment and i wanted to see how that works. but the calendar app doesn't seem to be actually showing the alerts i ask it to show
10:43 am
hurshy
oh apparently i had "Do Not Disturb" turned on and didn't even know it, so that's why calendar wasn't working
10:43 am
hurshy
now let's see
10:45 am
MollyL
My phone does that often. Suddenly DO NOT DISTURB is on and I never actively turned it on
11:18 am
hurshy
thank you welki, i got it to work!!!
11:20 am
welki
*applause* well done, hurshy!
11:21 am
welki
testing it out on my laptop - set the alarm for 10:22 :)
11:24 am
welki
nope - didn't work for me, must be doing something wrong
11:26 am
hurshy
i did the shortcut and automator thing. you could just do a picture directly in the ical app, only then you can't set it to also automatically close after a certain amount of time
11:27 am
hurshy
but i had to read a bunch of instructions to know how to do it properly
11:29 am
hurshy
it wasn't intuitive
11:59 am
MollyL
Ah, you have to love a grid with good Irish moonshine in it.
11:59 am
Gillie
I would never just trust Google AI about anything. It always sounds certain, but it is often wrong, and sometimes even contradicts itself.
12:01 pm
Gillie
That's a problem with AI in general - it gets things wrong ("hallucinates"), but sounds certain.
12:04 pm
Gillie
I read about somebody who used ChatBot (I think) to help them write an essay on Proust's The Remembrance of Things Past, and it kept giving them long quotations that were supposed to be from the work, but that were actually completely made up.
