Good morning John. Starting the day with a musical Welshman :)

Good morning roomies.

Today I shall be buying vegetables - we need parsnips and brussels sprouts :)
Good afternoon, Linda. :)
Can't get parsnips here, but there are a few varieties of turnip that sort of do instead.

Seeing a doctor promptly also HELPS THEM make the diagnosis more easily and reliably. I once knew someone who was having chest pain that would come and go, so she went to the ER for it. The pain had stopped by the time she got there, and the EKG was NORMAL, and they said she could go home.
But before she left, the pain came back, so they quickly slapped the EKG leads back on her: VERY ABNORMAL EKG READINGS. She was promptly admitted to the hospital for treatment of an acute heart attack. It saved her life.

I repeat: GO. NOW. @johnandjade

woke with chest pains today:/.
Much that I agree that a doctor's visit would be wise, I would suggest that this is a result of your body complaining about the weekend's excesses.
As I got older I found that I started to get heart palpitations and chest pains after a binge drinking session.
These tend to come on when the alcohol is almost cleared from my system and can last a couple of days.
It can be very scary.
As we age we must take better care of ourselves.
Do see the doctor, but he will probably tell you what mine told me many years ago, don't binge drink and give up smoking.
( I cut down smoking and drinking, but am still guilty of the occasional excess.)

Morning, roommates!
There was a glitch in the Matrix, so I got a déjà vu: the postman brought me my TORTOISE gift. Again. o_O :D
And once again it arrives at a time when I needed something nice to happen in this world. Sender, whoever you are (and I think I do know who you are), you must be an angel! :)

Any news about Ed's package? I'll be catching up in a moment with yesterday's messages. :<3:
Good afternoon, Lena.:)
Last I heard Ed (yesterday), Ed had still not received it, but we aren't very worried, yet.
I think we're all angels.
Ahem.

There's a bush burning in the park across from my house. When I first saw it, I did what any sensible woman would do in Turkey: I showed it to a male neighbor. The neighbor tried to put out the fire with a few buckets of water, but the bush is still burning. I wonder, if I go out, would the burning bush talk to me? o_O
Wibble.
I often have long conversations with plants.
I have learned a lot.

On a more cheery note, daughter applied for a bursary for an expensive residential training course she wants to do and has just heard she's been successful :)

It's something to do with environmental recording and she gets a qualification that will be good for her cv.

She's also signed up for some sort of botanical identification course (10 weeks in the new year)

It's really put a spring back in her step having something definite to do beyond working in the petrol station :)
