Hi Ida!!! merry christmas, happy hanuka, felis navidad or what ever!!!! God Bless, allaluya!! any way, glad you are feeling better! i don't like the meds either, but when i quit i get problems, so back to the pills!!!

hey.. don't knock jigsaw puzzles!!! hehehehe!!!! i am a person that has to have at least half a dozen tings going at once and one of them is a puzzle.. lets me exercise my facility to recall ... like where did i see a piece that this wil fit, and amazingly, it is begining......or so i THINK!!!... to help my memory...which is pretty bad... especially the short time memory... but that is what it exercises, is the short time memory!!! any way in between and among other tings like reading a special book, or working on a bird bath i am making, or the bird house i am re-decorating, or the herbal remedies i am concocting or tincturing, or cleaning house, or the garden, i do puzzles. if i am unable what with a flareup of the RA to do some of the other pysical things, i have the ole puzzles to fall back on! my kids and garage sales keep me supplied with them.

any way, keep a good thought, and i am sending you my good wishes and good thoughts.\

love... granny lee

and a happy holiday wish to everyone else!!!!!

II m back, i was left alone with a maid for a few days and usually i can stand the boredom and loneliness of being alone cos i canalways logi to internet. but now since my bro has sent the modem to be repaired ( he didnt leave his notebook either), i feel like pulling my hair off. It is so quiet in the hse and since i wasnt feeling well for these past few weeks, i slept most of the time. ( it so happened that i havent taken my mtx for weeks, for some prticular reason ). and well i m back to normal, just took my mtx again yesterday, and dam di dumm.. i feel great, even my moods are better now:)..

and u know when i feel beter. i dun feel like wasting my time sleeping again...

actually i just want to ramble arnd cos i havent been doing dat for days... and tis is the only site that i can ramble arnd without ppl thinking that i m having a mental prob.. lol

i dun know.. perhaps it is only me, but i have a worst temper... shud i blame it on my illness? but last nite, when i was having a phone conv with an internet friend, i complained abt my boredom and he was suggested some activitivities which wont tire me out.. is crossword, jigsaw puzles.. so i told him, i m not interested with that kinda hobbies and he kept elaborating abt those.. so i snapped at him and said to him directly " i said i m not intersted with those stuffs, why cant u just listen to me. i hate ppl who ordered other ppl to do tis do tat... i just dun like it!"..

and well... i think he felt off in silence for a while.. shocked maybe... lol

Gosh. i m so alone.. steph.. i guess i need someone who really understand who understand a RA like me. perhaps u ca find me someone too.. like u did:)

you can be my grand child! a young man, a Pakistani, with whom i have been exchanging e-mail since 1996 while he was in college and learning English explained some Muslim ideals to me but i am not really well versed. He went to Saudi Arbia to work after he graduated and married this past summer, so he is pretty busy now and i don't hear from him as much. very intelligent young man. He had been to my web site and contacted me through that and after i told him i was an ole granny, and we had exchanged a number of posts, he started calling me Granny, too. He was doing quite well with his English! sometime he would ask me to correct some of his posts. I have pictures of him.. he was a black belt Karati ...and pictures of his wedding. beautiful! His wife is so pretty.

Do you live in Malaysia? We have a number of Malaysians in the United states but not many where i am. where i lived before i only knew one and she is really a neat lady. She loves her fresh herbs and vegetables and we shared some of our plants. She had what looked like great big long metal trays she grew her greens in. i think they had drain holes or maybe no bottoms????? maybe just metal walls??? what ever, her plants were really healthy looking.

she was so pretty and healthy looking and she didn't eat meats. Her father brought over some of the plants from there and i think the chives were from vietam and were a bit more spicy than those i had. I think that was where i got the Japanese spinach, but not sure.. memory getting bad : ?/

you don't celebrate Christmas??? that's OK!! i don't celebrate Eid or Hanaka.. can't even spell it correctly but i do respect each person's right, and duty, to live their belief.

i go now as just got pretty much off topic<grin> !.. you get to feeling better and say a prayer to Allah, blessed be his name, for Ybara.

love... granny lee

dear granny lee,

1st of all, have to correct u:) i m a moslem. dun celebrate xmas, i celebrate Eid instead.. which i ve just celebrated it a mth ago, after ramadhan. the fasting month:)

and abt the puzzles, its not that i m against it. i did lotsa them last time, as i m having difficulty to sit on the floor i ve to spread the puzzles on the table. and they were complaining cos i used every table that they have in the hse, the dining table, then i ve to mov it to my study table and again to diff table again as well.. its just that, i hate ppl telling me wat to do, ( except when my mom asked me to). dun know whether this is anthr bad attitude of mine or else..

anyway to all those who cleebrate xmas, happy holidays.. i guess i never hv prob with my diet b4 bcos i m a malay and a moslem who eat rice as staple food... and lotsa vege to add with... "ulam" is a local plant dishes that we eat raw, and science has proved that they hv lotsa medicinal properties and can heal various ailments.. perhaps i cud share some of it with u granny. and one more thing,.. i nvr like cheese ( as a malay, we rarely put it in any dishes, exc for cheese cake, but i only eat cakes when i dun hv any other choice:). seldom eat red meat too:). thus, i found it a bit blurr when ppl have to follow some diet just to make em feeling less sick.. i guess.. its the eating habit that we follow since we re kids. i remember when i was young, its very rare for us to eat out and besides we dun have fast food restaurants scattered at every place at that time. if i were to live with burgers and fried chickens and all those junk foods all my life, i guess i d rather starved then:). but nowadays i hv nephews who can eat burgers for their every meal and soft drinks to add with.. *sighs*

well i d better stop b4 i start blaming the world technology as a cause for my nephew's bad eating habit... lol

ciao granny lee..

P.s perhap u can be my grandma too

Loves,
