Well, well, well, almost twelve hours !!!
Why do you all wait until I'm not around before you get active ???
Have I upset you all ???
I've had a look around three times today,and not a soul to talk to.
Well,you'll be sorry when I'm gone........or maybe not.:frown::tongue::confused:
 
Carol my dear lady its just bad luck hun that you missed us...

Or are we hiding from you mmmm. No i think its just bad luck hun.
Keep on rolling girl 😆💕💕
 
It's what I would call the time zone phenomenon.....when you are getting up in the Uk we are still in bed because it's still night.
Some of us with relatives in Uk do get woken up with early morning calls because families there do not remember about time zones.sigh....
We would never ignore erudite members like yourself Carol and we do look forward to your witty posts....
Winning....
 
It's maybe to do with the sun and the moon and the stars,,,,,,???
 
China has only one time zone, it doesn't work as locals have local time and Beijing time.
 
I think its to do with the way the way the world turns on its axis in line with the sun. Thus parts of the world go darker/lighter at different times!!

What ever it is i wish you all a good day/night 😀💕💕💋
 
Well,looks like I started an interesting conversation.
All I meant was,some of you could make the effort and put your alarm clocks on,just to see if I need company or something.Not you Kirsty,you need all the sleep you can manage.I'll be back later with another whinge.
 
My sleep schedule knows no time zones. I am just awake when no one else is. And I can sleep when I should be doing something else. Go figure.
 
Oh its a crazy world us crohnies inhabit... nowt seems to follow the normal plan. Oh well who wants normal anyhow... sounds boring to me haha 😆😆
 
Haven't been on the bike since wednesday,what with one thing and another.The damp weather being most to blame.I'm really missing it.Might get out tomorrow for an hour or two.Hubby has been looking at proper ladies bikes for me.Ones that you can just step through,rather than cock your (short) leg over the seat.But I like my mountain bike,it's tough,like me.I'm NOT the flowered skirt and pearls type,riding around daintily with fresh picked flowers in the front basket.Perish the thought.

You can tell a happy cyclist by the flies on their teeth.:D:D:D

Sometimes it is my own fault but sometimes the Crohns keeps me up really late.
 
Carol...what kind of flies....
There are bluebottles...house flies...green bottle blow flies
Quite beautiful when you take a close look at them in the lab.....
Not a recreational topic though.....
Winning......
 
Hi Madhu
How are you.?
Have you recovered from the jet Lag?
We are into really hot weather at the moment..
Winning...
 
Doing good Trysha. Back to normal time now :) How are you doing? Hope ur issues are getting under control. Agree it's getting hot here. We picnicked at a park today and it was so warm. Felt good to be outside though :D
 
I am feeling much better at the moment ..thank you Sadhu
There are a couple of issues to get sorted but I am a lot stronger ...almost ready to take on the world......

Don't know Trysha,I've usually swallowed them by the time I get home :ybiggrin:.
I've just read in the Sunday paper that crickets are going to be the next big dietry thing.High in protein and fibre and easy to farm.They're doing cricket flour and cereal type bars. I'm game.:thumright:

Carol, you are inspiring me to get a bike and go cycling :)
Click to expand...

I don't (wouldn't dare) cycle on the main roads.We 've got a bike rack for the car.There are lots of cycle tracks around our area,both coastal and country.If anyone had told me this time last year,I would have a bike,I would have laughed.I've always been fit (ish) and did a lot of walking with our dogs,but if I walk for more than an hour or two now,I get crippling back ache.That doesn't happen on the bike.
I would tell you how many years it had been since I was on two wheels,but that would almost give my age away,;)
 
Ah now Carol you know the saying "your as old as the man you feel" ... now put that toyboy down now 😆😆lol 💕
 
Phew!
So hot here you could fry an egg on the sidewalk...
Winning...
 
Il do my best Ron, thanks.. im going to overdose on time with my grandbaby as much as i can ☺💕
 
I am now working off the budesonide. Will see if my flare was stopped in its tracks.
 
Hey Doug nice to see you my friend..☺
Oh i will , he is so cute i hate having to go home when iv been visiting...

Really hope the budesonide has done the trick for you. 💕:hug:
 
I decided to come out of my funk to say hello. Besides a little more fishing, I've been dealing with family issues which seems to often leave me in a dither, even tho I love them all.
I'm glad you have time off to spend with the new little fella, Mandy. I also hope everyone's tests turn out okay or gives easy to deal with answers, and everyone does indeed get stronger and stronger. Well, it's after midnight, I better try to get some sleep before I'm off to my mom's place tomorrow. Busy times, but I'm thinking of you all.
Oh, Kirsty, the people from NZ staying across the street from us are named Trevor :)lol:)and Jill Neal or Neill, or some deviation of that surname. From Auckland. It sure is a small world.😂😂😂 Poor people get here all the way from there and we already have been having over 100° temps. Way to hot!
Happy thoughts to all. G'night!
 
Hi Sandy girl how are you darl?.
Iv had my wee fella all to myself this afternoon WOO HOO ☺
I walked ruddy miles with that pram n im 2 inches shorter than i was when i started out haha 😆
 
Happy 50th birthday today to my husband. He wanted no celebration, I get it But it's my best friend and lifelong partner for almost 30 years. So excuse me if I give him a shout out. I couldn't gotten this far without him.
 
Happy Birthday Shanens hubby.:drink::medal1::bdayparty:

He sounds like my old man.He's my best friend and I love and appreciate him so much.:heart:

That doesn't mean I don't feel like wacking him with a sauce pan sometimes though :voodoo:
 
Happy (late) birthday to Shanen's hubby from here as well. I hope it was a great one for him. Around 50 is about the time you really start to know things (mostly about how much you don't know).
Mandy, my good friend, don't do so much walking that you shrink more than a few more inches, we won't recognize you.
Today was a busy day. My sister from Nevada has been staying with my mother to help her get organized in anticipation of her big move to Indiana in August. We helped whittle down her possessions quite a bit (under my mother's direction and/or approval) so she doesn't have to move so much. I feel blessed because I ended up with my grandmother's beautiful China set (think it was actually her mother's as it was made in 1900, the year my grandmother was born), as well as a couple crystal pieces from my other grandmother my mom ended up with when after she lived with us her last several months. Both grandmother's died when I was about 3. I also have some pictures of my sweet sister to peruse who passed away from breast cancer about 20 years ago. I was sadly lacking any pictures of her. I still miss her greatly. I then drove my brother home who lives about 40 minutes from us. The good thing is the family members I dealt with today are the ones who don't drive me bonkers, and I'm feeling rather content with having spent time with family I don't see often enough. Well, once again, I better try to get some sleep as it is after 4 am. Tho I did have three naps earlier, including one at my mom's. Oh, the joys of narcolepsy.
Hope you're all happy, my friends.
(Trysha and Kirst, are you ok?)
 
Hi Sandy glad u enjoyed the time spent with your family. Sounds like u have accquired some lovely things and i hope lovely memories. Keep well my darlin 💕💕
U will always recognise me im the looney lurkin around this site 😆😆
 
Hi Sandy
Glad to hear you had such a lovely family visit and acquired some new treasures to enjoy and reflect on history.
Hope you will soon be feeling better health wise.
Mandy..sounds like you are having fun with your new grandchild...take time to enjoy and savour the moments...time is fleeting ..they grow up so soon.
Carol I cannot believe a peaceful person such as yourself would use a frying pan in an abusive way!!
Now I have to leave for a brain CT scan....big headache....big sighs.....

Yep, definitely have sauce pan days. Luckily the good days have outnumbered the bad. :ylol: He said thanks for the birthday wishes.

I'm in Trevs neck of the woods this week. I've been working hard this week. Found out I need to redo 24 HR urine as they gave me the wrong container. Which means my first test was wrong too. So next week I'll get that redone.
 
Bl**dy hell Kirsty,what next ? Do they think you have all these tests for a hobby.?

If you see Trev.give him my best.
Please don't work so hard,but I expect you know your limitations eh ?
 
Living close to a park and not far from the coast,I have always left a bowl of fresh water at the front,for the many dogs that pass by.I get xmas cards from some of them.
Today a beautiful hand decorated card was put through the door.It was from a 5 year old called Alexandra,thanking me for leaving water out for her dog Snoopy.She's been passing for 5 yrs,so must have been an infant in her pram at the beginning.I've no idea who she is,but I was quite emotional.At least some parents are teaching their children good manners and respect.I've put a thankyou card in a poly bag,where she can see it,I just hope some little toe-rag doesn't walk off with it before she sees it.
 
Oh Carol, how sweet! And you are so thoughtful to all the lucky fury friends!
And Kirsty, I agree with Carol's sentiments above. I read your post just before going to sleep last night and was so upset at it for you, I couldn't say anything. Hang in there lovely lady!
 
Happy birthday to ur husband, Shanen:)

Hope you all are well. I'm just going around.. doing nothing pretty much ;)
 
That's a real shocker Kirsty....someone should be on the firing line for such negligence in the provision of the appropriate container...laboratory medicine is dependent on the properly acquired specimen and most importantly the container used for it.
You poor thing,having to go through all that again...been there...done that...
Carol you have such a refreshing attitude and kindness......it's the little things in life that count so much.
Had the CT brain scan yesterday...was treated like Dresden China...I'm not that delicate but a real tough Brit at heart.i didn't really need all the detail but was given it any way.
They said the two specialists and family doctor will have the results in the next two days...
In a way I'm a bit past caring...so many previous complications I'm now immune...I think....
Winning..........
 
Oh England...my England....whither goest thou?.......
Common market no more...
Where is everyone today...are you stunned by the results?

Yes Trysha. Bit of a shocker. Thought 'Remain' would win :O
 
Well, it will give this country the shake up it needs.
Eventually the GREAT will be back in Britain,what's done is done.Being defeatist wont solve anything.
I believe peoples dislike of Cameron swayed the vote.Things may have been different with a different Prime Minister.

Have to agree with you there Carol
However it has caused a shake up of Europe,Canada,USA and Europe ...right across the financial spectrum...it's mostly the little people that suffer most with stock market crashes...
You don't have to be an investor to feel the brunt of it.

Big hugs you wonderful people, I appreciate the ethic of care for others and empathy given we share lots in common medically speaking, and in sense of fun too. My workshop starts in two hours, I'm giving a 4 hour workshop on assessment for young children in early childhood centres. I'm all ready I just need to put my working clothes on and drive to the venue. I'll catch up with you afterwards. You all rock! [emoji441][emoji449][emoji442][emoji448][emoji443][emoji446]
 
You are pretty good at rocking yourself Kirsty...
Have a good time with the workshop...I'm sure it will be successful...wish I could attend but I have another appointment...
Be well
Winning....
Trysha
 
KIRSTY. People are very lucky to have you.I know your day went well.Respect kidda !!!

TRYSHA,not more tests,for goodness sake !!! Have you had the brain scan results yet ?
RON, ??? only the wealthy and his cronies feel sorry for him. He started this referendum mess in the first place.He only got into power by the slimmest of majorities,and has been hanging on by the skin of his teeth. (sorry to disagree with you though)
 
I appreciate that anyone will feel empathy for another human being. This world has become too hateful in oh so many ways. Sometimes it happens without agreeing with them too, which is where I am. However, if I were closer to the situation (ie living with the direct consequences of the decision) I wonder if I would feel the same.
Yesterday was another good day. I'm afraid we've become addicted to fishing tho, we were gone from the moment we were able to get out the door until about 11:00 pm before we got home. Enjoyed the scenery of two reservoirs.

That will do you both the world of good.Physically and spiritually.
It looks very much like the parts of Scotland we love. Bliss !!!
 
Hi everyone, the workshop went well. The participants were all very happy, I kept them focussed, I can be rather bossy at times. I don't let them get away on me, in terms of chattiness. Due to that we finished almost an hour early, which was good as it was pouring with rain. So everyone could get home in daylight hours, with heaps of time to get ready for watching the rugby test with Wales. I did get a headache but only in the last 30 mins, but I had meds with me. I fly home today, yay!
 
Such lovely pictures Sandy and very thoughtful of you to post them
Kirsty....good to hear everything went well for you
Carol thank you for the concern....no more tests scheduled ...yet.....and I will hear results next week from my GP.
The week after that I am hoping to get away to Trois Rivieres on the St Lawrence Seaway and Montreal ..Quebec for a retreat....very calming and peaceful, if I can get there.
Today I made 6 lbs of lemon marmalade...turned out very well..all spoken for....
Also I decided to make mustard pickles....10lbs. .....they keep very well and I don't like the store bought ones.
Happy Saturday Everyone......
Winning......

It took me a long time to get the hang of posting pictures and it still takes more work than I think it should. In regard to the fish, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while as I couldn't get down the steep embankment to where the fish were biting so had to settle for the shallow areas. The fish were all safe this week. Maybe next week, as this seems to have turned to a weekly ritual.
 
Oh well im nothing if not patient hun 😆(re fish)

Ye seems really hard work doing pic posting. il keep trying as also dont give up easily ☺💕💕
 
Cloudy and breezy,maybe not a bike day.Going to the garden centre to look at house plants.The two in my living room have grown too big so Les has put them outdoors.'Now the room looks bare AND I used to hide behind the one in the bay window to spy on the neighbours over the road.hahaha.
Back later maybe
 
Well here I am again.We went out on the bikes after all.Quite hard going with the wind in my face.Managed to fall off.Fourth time in the four months since I started.Councils fault.Overhanging shrubs were difficult to manuever.My legs are now an abstract in purple,yellow,blue and a funny shade of green.It's just as well I turned down that job offer to model this years shorts fashion.It looks like I'm wearing sychadelic tights hahaha. I always make light of it and get straight back on though.And if I could spell phsycadelic I would be a very happy lady.
 
Maybe not fishing next weekend as I have a dr's appointment on Friday and there will be massive crowds at the fishing holes this weekend (July 4th is on Monday).

Or we might say to heck with that and go up to the Unitah's lakes again! Who knows.
 
Today is my hubby's birthday and I baked him a cake. First time baker :) Turned out pretty well, though the icing looks like a 2 yo has written it :D

:birthday2: To Madhu's hubby "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger":rof:

Just kidding Madhu,the cake looks ok to me.Do you know I'm more than twice your age (I think) and I have NEVER baked a cake.It's just so much faff and it's not long before it's eaten and forgotten.I do pies,because you can pass it off as a meal with salad or veg.but you can't put candles on a meat and potato pie.....or maybe you can ??? :rof:
 
Lovely cake Madhu

Happy birthday to hubby,,,,
It's another hot hot day....currently getting physiotherapy....always makes me feel better.
Winning......
 
Happy birthday Madhu's hubby! Your cake looks fantastic, especially for a first-time decorator. Decorating is the hard part. I never could master it. I have made many a homemade cake, but I always just slather it in my choice of homemade frosting for the moment. (I can't stand the pre-made frostings.) Your honey is very lucky to have you to go to so much effort. By the way Carol, cake is much easier than pie. 😉
 
P.S. Carol, Allie said to lick your wounds --- it always helps her.
(Hope you're ok)
 
Happy Birthday to your hubby. No cake for my hubby as now that the kids are out of the house we would still finish it. Never a good idea.
 
Aw thanks Sandy :)

Thank you Shanen. I wish I had someone nearby. I have a lot of cake left!
 
That's exactly it Shanen.I'm sometimes tempted into buying store bought gateaus etc. but the smallest usually serves six people.And I hate waste.So me and hubby (bad grammar,I know) polish it off between us.And I'm not a cake lover.
Sandy, tell Allie it's not so easy for an arthritic cyclist to lick the bruises on her legs .If I was that flexible I'd be in the circus.
Not feeling well this morning,nothing to do with yesterday's fall.Hoping to get out later,but we'll see.
 
Hi my updates gone west again...😕
Carol your a stoic woman, loving the sound of your colourful legs tho they sound as if they have caused you some pain in getting them 😕. Hope you feel better soon hun 💕
Madhu belated happy birthday to your hubby. Hope your both doing well 💕

Shanen cant fault you on the eating of cake 😆. Hope your well hun. 💕

Sandy n Doug get fishing never mind the crowds .. I need my fish so get going. 😆😆 hope your keeping well💕💕

Well im ok n baby doing well he has put on 9ounces this last week so he is now 6lb 14ozs. Enjoying my time off work and being with him as much as poss without being the overpowing mother/in law lol. I just hate having to come home n leave him.. think i might just kidnap him soon haha 😃😃

Keep well all :hug: 💕💕
 
So glad you and little J are doing well Mandy. I just talked Doug into fishing at our most familiar fishing hole Friday after his doc appt. Most of the "hoards" won't be there because of how it's set up (no picnic tables and no overnight camping). I hope you like trout. (This is where I caught my little but tasty trout that had the $250 fishing without a license, tho unknowingly, fine attached. Ouch!)
 
Hello all, how is everyone? Just sneaking in for the win. Hope you are all doing well, thinking positive thoughts for all. Winning
