morning babblers. *hugs Rose* hello darling. How's the mouth and jaw?

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

2:23 am

sprite

awesome, thank you

2:23 am

licketySplitAUS

Phew - it worked

2:23 am

sprite

it did! I see them in your browser now

2:23 am

grannyrose

thanks lickety. You the man!!

2:24 am

grannyrose

how's my poor little one-winged bird this flip?

2:26 am

sprite

okayish. typing one handed sucks. Living one handed sucks. but spirit unbroken. Today, cupboards for kitchen should arrive, allowing us to move forward with unpacking.

2:26 am

sprite

and I will repeat: How's the mouth and jaw, darling?

2:27 am

grannyrose

and you are going to just sit there and supervise, right?

2:27 am

grannyrose

mouth and jaw fluctuate. today has been a good day.

2:28 am

sprite

glad things are moving in the right direction, hope the good days will outweigh the bad ones

2:28 am

sprite

supervise. hm. you do remember i have one good hand, right?

2:31 am

grannyrose

and if you are there using the ONE hand...and , oh, I'll just do this....oops....tried to use BOTH hands. the answer is NO WAY.

2:32 am

sprite

the shoulder is connected to the ass... and the rest...

2:33 am

grannyrose

exactly....no, honey. you don't even try it with one hand.

2:33 am

sprite

yeah I know. I will try to stay put. Still, I also believe that it helps to stay active. Better on the mood and mind and it helps the healing too

2:33 am

grannyrose

hmmmm.... what did the Dr say??? hmmm

2:34 am

sprite

ehmmmm to do lots of tiny exercised

2:34 am

grannyrose

and if himself sees you trying to do stuff with the one good hand, what message are you sending him?

2:35 am

sprite

that I am a brave little soldier who does what she can and does not go for the victim role?

2:36 am

sprite

nah, no worries love, I will use my common sense. Not gonna force things.

2:36 am

grannyrose

noooo. he will see you trying to do stuff which he knows jolly well you shouldn't be doing. * shrug * why does he need to help at all?

2:37 am

sprite

true, dat. I will keep that in mind.

2:39 am

grannyrose

finally. point made. and accepted. now... how did you sleep last night?

2:40 am

sprite

pretty well up to 2 am, nothing after. I consider it a half win at least.

2:41 am

grannyrose

guess the one good night was because you were so exhausted.

2:41 am

grannyrose

bidet

2:42 am

sprite

yeah, no doubt. Dr said the first few weeks simply were like that. too much pain for comfort.

2:42 am

grannyrose

now look at what you made me do....lol

2:42 am

sprite

go potty, lolol

2:42 am

grannyrose

no, you go potty...

2:42 am

sprite

no you

2:45 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

2:45 am

sprite

giggling here too. Love being childish with my bestie, makes me feel so much better

2:47 am

sprite

how's Jirella doing on your end of the world?

2:52 am

grannyrose

she's been neglected. i need quiet time so i can totally immerse myself.

2:53 am

sprite

I totally understand. She will keep.

2:58 am

sprite

I am working on part 3, which is huge. Just hopping through it, translating whatever I feel like in the moment. It will get done in the end. Typing with one hand slows it down considerably.

3:00 am

grannyrose

i can imagine. but at least you are resting the body which is good for the repairing shoulder

3:01 am

grannyrose

nitery

3:01 am

sprite

yeah, true. I need to find the right balance. I definitely don't want to end up with a frozen shoulder

3:01 am

grannyrose

sorry...again

3:01 am

grannyrose

i keep getting light bulb moments...lol

3:02 am

sprite

hihihihihi I take you nitery and raise you a wi6

3:03 am

grannyrose

which one, i have 4?

3:03 am

sprite

the drinking one of course

3:05 am

sprite

not doing drinks at the moment at all, not wise with the painkillers, but I could really go for a sangria session with you

3:06 am

grannyrose

oh my yes....

3:07 am

sprite

actually, forget the sangria, I could do with a healthy dose of Rose, period. Thank God for babble and whatsapp

3:07 am

Kamanjah

Hi all! I keep getting distracted because my real name is right up top, lol!

3:07 am

sprite

hiya Kam :)

3:08 am

sprite

you should be valid. Darn enable

3:09 am

Kamanjah

I hope your shoulder is better soon. Moving into a new place one-handed is a challenge.

3:09 am

sprite

not gonna be soon. Up to a year, or so they say. Stupid fall.

3:10 am

Kamanjah

I'm so sorry to hear that.

3:11 am

sprite

thanks hun. I will be okay. Always am. Will beat all expectations and heal up faster, grin

3:11 am

Kamanjah

My crappy news is...top dentures. I get fitted tomorrow.
Getting old sucks, lol!

3:12 am

Kamanjah

I DO hope you heal faster.

3:13 am

sprite

Aw sweetie, how unpleasant.

3:16 am

sprite

getting old sucks but it beats the alternative

3:16 am

Kamanjah

I'm dreading it, but genetics are genetics. My teeth started going when I was 25, so I've made it 53 years since then.

3:16 am

Kamanjah

DAMN Right!

3:16 am

sprite

well done, I hope it won't be too bad

3:17 am

Kamanjah

I'll manage. They need to go. They hurt. And the cost of trying to fix them is nearly 4 times the cost of getting rid of them

3:18 am

sprite

one step at a time. you will get through it and then will enjoy the painfree mouth.

3:23 am

Kamanjah

I hope so. I had 3 pulled where they put in bone implants and the area has a phantom toothache every so often. That's on the bottom. They said they will put something in there so I can chew. I will get more info on that tomorrow. The bone implants grew a 7mm x 5mm area too big, according to the dentist. I didn't go back to the one who did the bone implants because...too many reasons.

3:24 am

sprite

dentistry is torture. It scares me sh... I mean witless. But it has to be done, alas.

3:24 am

Kamanjah

Me too. I have a ride for extraction day, and I will be taking some meds to calm me!

3:25 am

sprite

very wise

3:26 am

sprite

i need to find us a new dentist here. am going to select one who knows about traumatised patients and how to handle them.

3:26 am

Kamanjah

I hope I can eat a steak within a year! I love steak and haven't been able to chew much more than a taco.

3:26 am

sprite

fingers crossed for the steak

3:26 am

Kamanjah

I hope you find a good one!

3:27 am

sprite

me too. If they are really nice and take my ptsd seriously, i can manage going there. otherwise, i stay away. really bad coward here

3:30 am

Kamanjah

I think that's what happened with me. I procrastinated too long. I'll have 4 teeth left and a bridge that was placed a year ago. It doesn't fit right, but the new dentist, who took over my first dentist in the area's practice, says he can fit things to make it work. I certainly hope so. Don't be like me and put it off too long, lol!

3:31 am

grannyrose

sorry friends. i'm beginning to sag here. hydro was almost too much today. i am utterly exhausted. Kam i hear you about the dentures. i'm currently going through the same here. fortunately i qualify for community care so at least the cost isn't too scary.

3:31 am

sprite

already have, lol. Several tooth missing already.

3:31 am

sprite

sleep well, dear friend. hugssssss

3:32 am

Kamanjah

Me too. Sleep well Rose! We need to catch up!

3:32 am

sprite

I am going too, bye Kam, take care and good luck tomorrow!

3:32 am

Kamanjah

Y'all take care. I need to get in bed soon.

3:33 am

grannyrose

good night my darling friend. Kam i will try to message you via messenger. tomorrow i'm flat out like a lizard drinking again. maybe the day after.

3:33 am

Kamanjah

No prob, I have dentist tomorrow.

MollyL

Origami, the movie is very true to the written story which is hardly ever the case. Especially with Stephen King.

10:32 am

MollyL

And no, this is not a horror movie. Just the opposite.

10:42 am

hokie carla

hmm, why did I think hiati was a plural of hiatus

10:44 am

BzznBea

Any one seen the sound bite of vp Vance talking about the young

Repukes and their texts?

10:44 am

hokie carla

10:45 am

BzznBea

Not that I want to get into a political convo, but if I didn't know better, I would say that Molly was moonlighting as his speech writer.

10:46 am

hokie carla

lol

10:46 am

BzznBea

He used the term "pearl clutching" in his defense of those idiots.

10:47 am

hokie carla

that reminds me, I just learned of the slang "ate down" the other day and I have to say that might be the dumbest one I've ever heard.

10:47 am

hokie carla

and then I saw it in a crossword either yesterday or today

10:48 am

hokie carla

remove a letter from that and you will get another 9/10 combo

11:02 am

EvaNadine

aww, c'mon Molly....those younguns are just "edgy"

11:02 am

There is nothing "pearl clutching" about finding that offensive. And I am not the only one who uses that term.

4:36 pm

BzznBea

4:43 pm

hurshy

4:44 pm

hurshy

4:45 pm

cybernan

these US clues don't help me

4:45 pm
