Sylvia, I think that probably they are treating it as a no refund and charging again. Or theyw ould be if we took them up on it. But T has been checking the fares over the last two weeks, without trying to chnage our own flights and every time he looks at Iberia fares they have gone up again.

Jean, I am pleased that the scan was clear. You have to remember now to do your exercises.

Jean

I am pleased that you've now got a diagnosis. Please do your exercises!


Being me, I had to google it ........ and looking at this, so much seems to be what you have been suffering :)))


from wiki:-


It can be triggered by any action which stimulates the posterior semi-circular canal which may be:

Tilting the head
Rolling over in bed
Looking up or under
Sudden head motion
Post head injury


BPPV may be made worse by any number of modifiers which may vary between individuals:

Changes in barometric pressure - patients often feel symptoms approximately two days before rain or snow
Lack of sleep (required amount of sleep may vary widely)
Stress




take care!

Just remembered Mo asked what I put in the hanging baskets. Some had fuchsias in, some had Surfinia Petunias and some had mixed basket plants (Verbena, million Bells, Bacopa, Bidens etc.)

Got it in one Sylvia,not sure about the rain thingy....lol....

Our forecasters are saying there is a possibility of more tornados tomorrow. The weather is right for it.

Huia.

Looks like our Jean would make a good barometer then. Strange thing isn't it? I hope that the exercises will work. Maybe the alleviating of the stress of not knowing what it is will also help.

clocking in, first lot of exercises done the doc said it would get much worse before it got better... how right he was !!! it was awful, dizzier than I have ever been and terrible sickness, but by the time I got to the last one it all settled down , so onwards and upwards, I feel sure it will be beneficial in the long run....I will have a cuppa now and just take it very easy....lol....
love Jean xx

Hello Girls,

Just to let you all know the good news.....spoke to Joyce this afternoon, Danni is better today but very tired. Joyce managed to speak to her on the phone earlier on, so she feels a lot happier having spoken to Danni herself. She appreciates all your good thoughts for her, Danni and her partner, and she'll speak to you all soon.


Jean, well done on doing your first lot of exercises. Pleased that by the time you had got to the last lot, the horrible symptoms you had, had all settled down. Let's hope that the exercises will do the trick.



Huia, I hope the weather forecasters are wrong and you won't get anymore tornados. Take care and stay safe.




I have to go and get the potatoes done now, so I'll drop in later on.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Well everyone what do you think about the new look boards I quite like it not sure about them being amalgamated into one general chat board,
still it ceratinly looks cheerful now how do you get an avitar and put it on? last ime I did some of them I was hit with loads of viruses took ages to clear.... so bit wary...
hope everyone is doing o.k. and good news about Danni, now our Joyce will feel so much better....
off to have corned beef hash for tea see you later
love Jean xx

Hello girls,
Well what have they done to this site now then, I am not sure if I like the layout though.
I know it says how long a person has been a member, and what areas they are searching in, but I feel like I am being watched by an invisable person seeing the outline of a person next to the posting.

Ann how did you get the butterfly by your name?.
Love the plants in your baskets Ann, I need to get some more potting compost, as we have emptied our big concrete shoe, and it takes loads of compost to refill it.
I had lots of Alpines in it for years, but the snow we had earlier in the year had killed them all off, so into the recycling bin they went.

Oooh Huia, tie yourself down my love, we don't want you getting blown away, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, should you get the Tornado's they have forecast.
Stay safe my friend.
How did the family meeting, regarding Phil's care go.?

Well done our Jean, on getting through the ordeal, of your physio.
God willing by this time next week, you will be so good at doing them, that they will tell have you demonstrating them for others.
Take it easy honey, and don't overdo them will you.

Sylvia thanks for the explanation of Jeans problem, ( I cant pronounce it sorry) and yes we could use our Jean as a barometer.
I was going to google it myself, but have no need to now, so thank you.
Are you still enjoying the ME time Sylvia. I hope your OH had a good journey.

Sallie, thank you for updating us about young Danni, what a relief it is to have some good news for a change.
I bet Joyce was thrilled to speak to Danni, and probably she can't wait to get back to Liverpool to see the baby and mummy.
She will be so uplifted now that she knows Danni is on the mend.

Our neighbour is being tranferred up to St Thomas's hospital today, ready for his by-pass operation.
Apparantly, when they received his medical notes, they phoned our local hospital and said, he must be transferred immediately.
So much for his having to wait till next thursday, we knew all along that this was more urgent than they were letting on.

I will be back later, so bye for now girls. Love Mo xxx

Hi again, we've just been to vote before Alun goes off to the Model Railway Club. We also have local elections today as well as the AV vote.

The Polling Station for this area is in the Infants School that both Richard and Jennie went to.....some of the children had drawn some pictures of the grounds and had made them into " please keep off the grass " signs, which had been put on to pieces of stick and placed all along both sides of the path up to the door. It was a good idea, and I bet the children thought that they were doing something important, making the signs.



Sylvia, hope you are feling better and that you are enjoying some ME time.
Hope OH had a good and a safe journey to Vancouver Island.




Caz, if you are looking in, I hope things aren't too bad for you at the moment and that you are feeling a bit more comfortable.


Jean, I quite like the new look boards, altough I wasn't too sure when I first seen them earlier on today, but the longer I've been on here, the more I like them.

Hope you enjoyed your corned beef hash.....we had a shepherds pie, it was very nice too.



Mo, I hope all goes well for your neighbour's by-pass operation. It will be a good way each day to travel for his family to visit him. Although I'm sure they won't mind as long as he gets well.


Huia, I'm sorry I forget to ask how the family meeting went at Phil's place. I hope it all went well.


I hope all our other friends on here are alright.


I might look in later on.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi all
xxx


well, what a surprise when I switched on to GR about 30 minutes ago!!

They did say on the GR wall on facebook that they were "amking changes"!


At least, we got the time back.


Actually, this layout is much like several other genealogy sites that I go on .. the photo at the side, how long you've been a member, how many posts you've made, ability to put on areas and/ or names that you're searchign for.

It'll just take a bit of time getting used to it on here!


OH had a good trip over, the weather was good. He said he had a lovely room in the hotel, on the 11th floor, with a beautiful view!

Meanwhile .... I found I wasn't sleepy, so I stayed up until 4 AM playing solitaire games on the computer. Went to bed, fell asleep right away ............ and was wide awake at 7 am


Surprisingly, maybe, I feel pretty good today!




Take care everyone

I like the new look, they seem to have taken our suggestions from the survey and put them into practice.

The butterfly is a photo I took in Tenerife Mo.

Go to your account and when you get in you should see, by the 'picture' the word change. Click on files, if you have photos on your pc go to where theya re stored and find the photo you want to add, I think if I remember rightly you click on download or something. The picture should then appear after a few seconds.
It might help if you find the picture you want before you go to your account so you don't have to spend too much time searching.

Jean, hopefully it will be worth the unpleasantness when the exercises finally work.

By the way ladies I now have a photo blog as well as the craft one. If you are interested PM me for the addy. But I am off to bed now so I will pick it up tomorrow if you add tonight.

Will try to be back tomorrow.

Ann, I am puzzled as to your date of membership. I am not questioning it, but GR has been a 'member' only since June 2003, 2 months after you became a member!

My avatar is not the one I originally chose. I tried a couple of times and was told 'we cannot display the page' so tried again with this one and got the same message, so I gave up, only to find when I came back on this thread that it was here. The bird displayed is NOT a Huia. I think it is some sort of crow though. It was made for me by somebody on another site. Sometime I might try to change the pic for one of the other ones that I was trying, now that I know how and what to expect.

Having the avatars makes it easier to go back to re-read what somebody said earlier. Just look for their avatar rather than name.

Huia (the old crow).

Huia my date is correct. GR started as Genes Connected in 2002. But originally the admin members were all individual members on here and used to post occasionally so maybe the date was taken from an individual member.
