HI Nirdi's, I was on then off, went to see the surgeon and he finally saw the pus (sorry) etc so he's giving me gabapentin for nerve pain (?) my eye tooth hurts if I breathe on itmy jaw is killing me due to the infection and all the needles.. so the plan is to keep me on Doxy again, try the gabapentin for a while, and probably have to see somebody in Austin that my surgeon will contact.. such a mess. I will never ever never ever ever ever get an implant again.. it's not worth it for someone like me, all started out with one abscessed tooth that the endodontist screwed up.. been one never ending jawgate.
Just wanted to give you guys a post to let you know what is going on.. I have to read all the above, I hope everyone is doing well, @Mamabean your new bling is just beautiful, love love love the Topaz ring, it's a dream..
Going to bed after this. @missy I can't take miralex I'm not surprised a cat can't it's tough.. sending you love and support missy. xoxoxoxo
bb tomorrow.. sending love all around!
that you have pus and are dealing with this. Darn why can't the doctors see what we tell them when it is first happening. I am sending you so many healing vibes and big hugs and lots of good wishes. Please let the antibiotics take care of the infection and the Gabapentin helps the nerve pain and that you get well ASAP. Darn Jawgate! Grrrrrrr.
What’s going on with the universes @missy dumping all the c**p on you at once? Oy, you really don’t need any more problems, especially with all the laundry you’re doing every day. It sounds like Fred is a real battler despite all the problems, and what good news that he’s managing to eat and is still happy to be loved and petted. The fact that he’s still hanging on after all the treatments I think is reason to be cautiously optimistic. How great that your favourite ice cream was available, I’d have eaten both
I cannot believe i's Friday already.
and your studs - well they are STUDLY! and gorgeous as is the pendant. they look beautiful on you Joanne.. all your jewelry is fine! thank you for caring Joanne, I sincerely appreciate it, I'm about ready to pull out all my teeth no pain no gain I guess. Joanna I am sorry you had a shit day yesterday, my mother said it never rains but it pours, if you are dealing with medicare which I assume you are, finding anywhere that will work with you is next to impossible, I am and I truly hope your mom is okay ((((Joanne)))) I don't mean to pry, but I hope your Chris is doing better Joanne, also my mom said 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink' is how it goes with our adult children, we do our best and that is all we can do sending you healthy dust for Chris and your family Joanne. sending you oodles of love true that. xoxo (you are very kind to me as is everyone here but I do want you to know I appreciate your words very very much). ) have fun, are either of your kids coming down for a visit? bummer totally, I love reunions. (this note is from the beginnig where I started to read, more below girl ) he's a good guy and I don't really think at all this is his fault, his problem is that he's a cutter, surgeon (which isn't a problem per se) and not a healer, surgeons just cut, sew up and move on, the Infectious Disease doctor really doesn't do much either so it's Austina, I've had bridges at least 3 in that area in the beginning it was 2 teeth now it's up to 4 gone, my wisdom tooth is there with a cap that they left on when they cut out the bridge 3 years ago, there is an implant next to the bridge that is okay and waiting for 3 years now and all the rest is gone till my eye tooth, sooo no bridge (the eye tooth has had root canal, this infection just moves leftward in my mouth)..it will have to be a device since I cannot have another implant there ever and take advil if you back hurts from picking up your little niece! it's gonna a fun weekend and I send you happy vibes and also an Irish woman's huge HUG.. xoxoxoxo
Hello lovelies
Yesterday ran away with us, as I went to Pilates which was a big of a struggle, and we went to the cinema to see the Downton Abbey film. We both really enjoyed it.
Wow @bling_dream19 , I love the band and what a great price too, it looks so pretty. I’ve been dithering as to whether I want a band to wear with Bella, and modern diamonds just don’t go, but perhaps a coloured stone band would! Your cluster pendant is really lovely and exactly the type of piece you’d get a lot of wear out of.
How great that DeeJay got your book for you @marcy. I’m glad it wasn’t a cold, where’s the smoke coming from? We’re not staying in Austin for Christmas, they came here last year, so it’s her family’s turn this year, and also, our dog sitters don’t work over Christmas. I know she wouldn’t know any difference, but I also wouldn’t want to leave Dottie over Christmas. Great news that Marty has picked up another client, better for clients to come in one at a time than a huge rush. Enjoy your liquid meals with friends
Thanks for the recommendation @Mamabean, the band is lovely, and I bet looks great with aquas too. I hope your life is less stressful and you’re taking time for yourself.
It doesn’t hurt that I actually like decorating @Calliecake, so we’ll be painting the utility room this weekend in readiness for the small makeover. Sounds like you’ll be having fun with your grandniece this weekend as well as a busy week. I’m not surprised that you’re having second thoughts about implants, I did hear of one or two patients having problems, but nothing like poor Tekate and Slick have experienced. On the whole, they went well and patients were delighted with the results.
I hope you’re feeling better @junebug17 and you’re on top of the cold and on the mend.
Oy indeed @missy. Poor little BobbyI really hope the lime dips went well yesterday and the kitties weren’t too traumatised. Are they still eating OK? I remember when you got your new computer and it wasn’t that long ago, they just don’t make anything to last these days, is it still within warranty? I know you can’t get back to the store at the moment, what a pain.
The delivery men have already been with the dressing table, and they put it together before they left. The legs were definitely wrong last time, as these just slotted in to place with no resistance at all.
I’m really worried about Dottie, as I mentioned before, she’s had some stiffness in her left front leg, but yesterday evening, she was really hobbling and I was going to ring the vet this morning for an appointment. I’m slightly reluctant to take her because she hates going, and I don’t want them putting her through endless tests or giving her lots of drugs because we have insurance. This morning, she’s a lot better, so I don’t know what to do. I’ve manipulated her leg, and I know if she was in pain she’d be yelping. Tom has also now said he can’t have her when we go away in Nov/December. I’ve contacted my friend Anne who’s happy to have her, just means a 4hr+ journey, which I’m happy to do to know she’s being well taken care of.
Wishing all the lovely NIRDIs a wonderful Wednesday
GM lovely ladies.
Dear Kate, how are you feeling this AM? I am sorry the implant had to be removed but now I hope and pray you are healing and feeling better. You are on my mind. I am sending you continued bucketloads of healing dust and lots of love. Thanks for your lovely comments about Greg and well everything. You are such a warm and kind and generous loving individual. I admire everything about you Kate and your wise philosophy of life too.
The peach ice cream was fab and the coffee espresso ice cream delish. I am borrowing Greg's computer (before he needs it and then I have to go to Mr Clunky computer) so I can share a photo because Mr Clunky computer doesn't have access to the photos. Here you go. Coffee Espresso. Wish you could join us Kate. Ice cream goes down so easily.
And I second @marcy 's wish for dinner and drinks with the NIRDIs...or perhaps a weekend of pampering at a spa? When life calms down everyone is invited over and we will cook a grand meal complete with baked goods. Just saying.I look forward to calmer and happier times. XOXO.
Speaking of which @Scandinavian how is your mom doing? Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping it is a good week for your mom. (((Hugs))).
@Slick1 hope your week is going well. Sending you hugs and love.
Thank you Marcy for all your kind comments. Greg went to Apple yesterday and had to really beg to get seen as there were no appointments available til next week. Over the phone they told him no appts til next week but if he walked in he could maybe be seen. It is over 30 minutes away (like we have any extra time in the day no we don't) so he went and at the store they said it would be over a 2 hour wait. But he was able to talk to a manager and somehow he got in to be seen in 30 minutes sweet. It will take them 3-5 business days to fix (hopefully they can fix it) so in the meantime I am on the old Mr Clunky though at the moment I am borrowing Greg's "good" computer. Which is still clunky compared to my Air. I miss my Air. So it goes.
As far as a choice between wine and dessert I say have both. Life is short and we need to make it as sweet as possible. Glad you drive safely and never drive impaired. Smart cookie. Haha see what I did there? Yummm cookies. Glad you enjoyed a lovely dinner with your girlfriend and that she is recovering nicely from her hip surgery. LOL 7:30 is the time I get ready for bed these days. Have a good day at work Marcy and sending you hugs.
@bling_dream19 I 100% think you and your FI should do what works best for you. If that is to have 2 ceremonies than that is what you should do. If it is to have just one Wednesday ceremony then that is what you should do. Talk it over and think about it and see who can come and who might not be able to come who you want to come. If everyone you want to come will then I guess it is an easy decision. From our personal experience we loved both ceremonies and they were both special in different ways. They were both romantic and memorable. The weather here has been perfect and I hope you are enjoying some gorgeous weather too. What season were you thinking about for your wedding? Summer/Spring/Winter or Autumn. They all have pros and cons.
And remember you cannot go wrong when you are marrying the love of your life!
@Austina I am sorry about Dottie and I would take her to get checked out even though she is better today. Sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry and a little stress is worth it if it helps prevent a bigger issue. I am glad Annie can watch her when you go away next trip. What a relief and peace of mind.
Thanks for your good thoughts for the kitties. Fred is barely eating and even Bobby is eating less. And Tommy is definitely losing weight but that could be partly due to his overactive thyroid that we are not treating at the moment. It's a long struggle every morning/every day but we take it one step at a time. I feel Bobby's RW area is getting larger but we will see since the vet was unsure if it is new RW or not. The computer is under warranty it turns out. 2 years old and we have Apple Care which is 3 years. But if they cannot fix it not sure what that means. Hope you get Dottie's health issue sorted out and it turns out to be nothing of concern. XO.
@AV_ good morning. How are you doing? Any delicious fruit you are enjoying? Blackberries still in season? The blueberries here aren't sweet anymore so sadly my favorite snack is no longer good. Summer went so fast this year. Hope you are having a good week. Hugs.
@Mamabean how are you doing? How is your week going? Hoping you are feeling well and that things are going as smoothly as possible. Sending you love and hugs. And let's see any bling you have to share with us bling sister.
Thanks for the AVC love all. @Tekate I just love this ring. It is me. Simple elegance IMO.
Still photo from the car trip to the vet yesterday. Sun streaming in through the windows.
OK off to eat some breakfast and then start the cleaning. The cats got their meds and ate a little bit. It's a struggle. I definitely see Bobby's newest RW area increasing in size. I do not love his vet. I don't think she is great. But we have little choice here and I just hope we get the cats through this. Poor Fred. He obviously has something else going on besides (in addition to) RW but we don't yet know what it is. What a summer this has been and it will be continuing into Autumn but we are going to continue taking it one day and one hour at a time. Sending you all hugs and love.
Leaving you with our mileage of the cycling season 2019 so far...
Not bad...only 187 miles left to go til we hit 6K woohoo.
Have a great Wednesday girls. XOXO.
Hopefully, we will take the plunge soon and officially plan it. I want a beautiful dress, beautiful jewelry and feel beautiful, have delicious food and everything else is a bonus. And you're right, you can't go wrong when you're marrying the love of your life! Hope we are as happy as you and Greg! My fiance is wonderful and I'm ready to officially be married to him and start our life!
The bling came! The Swiss Blue Topaz is gorgeous...but so blue! I don’t usually wear colored stones...so it will take getting use to. I can’t capture the sparkle but it sparkles a lot more than any topaz I’ve ever seen..There’s no black area or obstruction..It just photographed that way...because I stink at taking photos. It truly looks like a zircon...The hexagon moissy setting looks so much better with the points rounded off a little. I love it now...The blue pendant does not look blue to me unless I put it next to Libby, or on a sheet of white paper...It’s also pretty huge for a pendant...for me...I like small diamonds on my neck....Here are some photos but they’re bad.
David never sent my diamonds that I sent with my first setting and five diamonds that I thought he could use in one of my settings. I reminded him once and he forgot..so I told him it was okay. I always have projects and send it next time. I got my five diamonds back today but not the four diamonds and baguettes from my very first setting. I think he had them too long. I’m hoping he didn’t misplace them or send them to someone else...
Here’s a pic of it on my neck next to one of my diamond studs. You can see a color difference..but not really blue unless you stare at next to a white diamond.
GM girls!
@junebug17 yay for a mini vacation in SC. I hope you are feeling all better and sometimes being relaxed and unmotivated is just what the doctor ordered. Enjoy and have fun!
@marcy glad the workweek is going quickly and you are also getting to lift. Sweet. Haha Marty that joker. I enjoyed The Village People in the seventies. LOL if I listened to them now I wonder if I would cringe. Exciting you are considering a new phone. Greg just told me yesterday the new iPhones (11?) have 3 different camera lenses and an amazing battery life so when I am ready for a new phone I might just get the newest model which is very unlike me. But I love long battery life and love taking photos with the phone.
@AV_ glad you could enlist the help of a local grocer for the best most fruitful items. I love fruit and veggies. They are (besides ice cream haha) my junk food. Winter always brings less to enjoy re fruit and veggies as I like to eat fresh and local and organic. Which can be challenging in NYC. And NJ. I am sure hoping we won't be at the shore all winter. I might just lose (or have I already) my mind.
@Mamabean How is your son doing? How are you doing? Continuing to keep you and your family in my thoughts. I love the Swiss Blue and hope you are pleased with all of your beautiful new bling. Speaking of bling...
@bling_dream19 how is your week going? Any bling (or other) updates?
@Tekate dear Kate the Great how are you feeling today? Thinking of you and continued healing vibes and hugs being sent your way. Greg says hey and sends all his best to you too. Any home updates? (((Hugs))).
@Slick1 well you are firmly into the school year. How are things going? Are the parents as nice as their kids? How are you feeling? Sending you hugs and healing vibes and I am sure you are super busy with all the wedding stuff. Enjoy.
@Austina how is Dottie doing? Hoping she is feeling better and you are having a good week.
@Scandinavian sending you and your mom lots of good luck dust and gentle hugs. Thinking of you.
So as you know we have been doing lots of laundry all day long each and every day due to RW gate and now one of our dryers appears to be having issues and OMG IDK what we are going to do. Because it is the one in the basement so hard to get down there. What a pain in the neck this is. Greg is shopping online but I just don't want to give up a whole day waiting for delivery either but we cannot manage with just one dryer. Greg wants to buy a whole new washer and dryer even though it is just the dryer that is having issues. The set is about 20 years old. Still, not great timing if you kwim. The machines are running almost all day with all the sheets, towels and clothing we are washing all the time. Cmon universe, please stop beating us up. Pretty please?
We had a good ride yesterday and Jimmy (the owner of the ice cream place we started going to when Days closed during the week) surprised me with my favorite flavor ice cream. He made it just for me yesterday. Isn't that so sweet? It was delicious and of course I got a large. Haha Greg only got a medium though he is always the one to tell me let's get large. But what happened was Greg was chatting with Jimmy while I ordered with the staff (I got a medium size peach at first not realizing Jimmy had made PB&J special for me and it was put away so it wouldn't sell out before we got there) and then Greg ordered but Jimmy said hey wait did you get the PB&J and I was no I didn't know you had it and he took my peach for himself and gave me the PB&J. In the meantime Greg had already ordered a medium and didn't want to add to it. Oh well. And yay for PB&J.
The day was unbelievably gorgeous as has been the whole week. A perfect weather week. It was windy but just so beautiful it didn't matter.
Have a lovely Thursday girls and sending hugs and love your way.
And little Ollie meows and purrs hello to each and everyone of his aunties. He is still very yellow from his L-S dip.
Fred isn't doing welland he cannot tolerate the Miralax and is constipated again. What a vicious cycle. And he looks just awful. But he is eating some and purring when we pet him and hug him. Please keep him in your thoughts. Thanks lovely ladies. Have a wonderful day. XOXO.
Thank you @bling_dream19! I’m starting to see more blue..I set it down on a paper towel..and it looked much bluer.
Thank you @bling_dream19 It’s just so blue...and I really only wear pastel colors. I hope I wear it. I’m still on the hunt for a different gem.
I think your 1.8mm will be beautiful. I’ll wear the sapphire tomorrow and take a pic for you..Hi @Mamabean thank you for sharing how your son and daughter in law got married. That is very unique to have the ceremony and wedding dinner and then the next day have the reception. I actually love the idea of the ceremony and then a small dinner. My parents have said they will pay for my dress - and my mom has already suggested 2 dresses! So, I might be wearing 2 dresses too! Thanks for helping me calm down. I agree the people who can make it for Wednesday will make and those who can't will be there for Sat wedding and reception. And you're right, the folks who come wednesday and stay might really enjoy the time and make a vacation out of it.
Ok I NEED TO SEE YOUR 2.3MM PINK SARRIEL!!!
I'm hoping I still made the right decision with the 1.8mm one, my plan is for when I'm swollen lol that I will prefer the thin band, or when it's winter I might be able to wear 3 bands. It's funny, I have size 7 long fingers but I don't seem to be able to stack - my fiance says my length comes from the knuckle to the nail but I'm stubby from knuckle to the hand lol
So cute!Hello NIRDIS!
Custom made, Spess and Enamel!
Hello NIRDIS!
Custom made, Spess and Enamel!
Perfect for Autumn wear. 
@Luvallgems I’m so sorry you are going through this. My mom is with me eight years...I don’t know you but I will tell you it was a big mistake to have my mom come live with me. If my mom was pleasant and loving it would have been a different story. If you can afford to place her in a nice place I would suggest you do that. If she is ungrateful now you can count on it being so much worse when she’s in your house. I wish someone told this to me. Hugs to you...
