2:15 am
Dr_God
We're back online, Babblers. It appears a hacker hijacked the IP of the server. I'm not quite sure what that means exactly, but my webhost claims they have tracked down the culprit, and everything should be fine now.
2:16 am

oh dear!
1:27 am
licketySplitAUS
Looks like antibiotic therapy for sure, but not sure what else. My worry is last time antibiotics was not enough. Positive thinking tells me that this will be the final straw to get rid of it for good.

herinfernallady
Moon what sort of fluffys?
2:09 am
moonwoof
4 jack russels and a cabbage
2:09 am
herinfernallady
A cabbage?
2:09 am
herinfernallady
OH and also
2:09 am
moonwoof
well, to be fair, the cabbage's mother was an australian shepard...
2:10 am
moonwoof
she's just got a head that doesnt seem to do much but it's in the ground alot...
2:10 am
moonwoof
She's very pretty, just not very bright.
2:11 am
herinfernallady
http://tinyurl.com/38uq22 this is my kitty being an Emo

2:14 am
herinfernallady
yes but very whiney
2:14 am
jillibus
what's an emo?
2:14 am
moonwoof
seemed so lol
2:14 am
herinfernallady
mmm Jill thats a tough one
2:15 am
moonwoof
tough to explain, Jilli... But like a goth kid but much more whiney.
2:15 am
jillibus
well, it was your word, herin, wasn't it?
2:16 am
jillibus
wow, another new word!
2:16 am
moonwoof
And to be honest, I'd say less classic styling.
2:16 am
herinfernallady
No its not my word Jill. An Emo is a whiny little bitch of a kid that just whines because they can
2:16 am
flosey
ok, 100 down, 39 for tomorrow

Hello again. Hi Woof

jillibus
well, live and learn -- ty for the info!
2:19 am
moonwoof
If I could take an 80's euro-goth and mash it together with a grunge kid fromt he 90's I would have a 00 Emo kid, I think.
2:19 am
jillibus
night flosey
2:19 am
moonwoof
Hiya Lynxxy! Taking stew out for a stroll?
2:19 am
herinfernallady
But Moon a lot of the Euro Goths are and were still pretty and stylish
2:20 am
lynxxx
Taken, now back
2:20 am
moonwoof
Right but the lack of style comes from the grunge... the whining from the depresso-goths of the 80s
2:21 am
moonwoof
Was it a good stroll?
2:21 am
herinfernallady
Moon hand most of them a nail gun so they can nail their hands to the forhead
2:22 am
moonwoof
right. The whining of morrisey with black flannels... add Keanu Reaves hair from Bill and Ted and I get Emo.
2:22 am
herinfernallady
LOL Moon
2:23 am
moonwoof
Even though that's probably not a definition Miriam-Webster would ever accept =P
2:23 am
lynxxx
tried to pick up the pace (& wear him out). Car skidded to a halt and 2 guys jumped out and ran over to us, complete with Pharoah their grey. New to neighbourhood and excited to see another grey. Cute
2:24 am
moonwoof
as long as they JUST ran over To you and didnt run over you, that does sound cute =)
2:24 am
herinfernallady
Wow Lynxx so you may have puppy play dates"
2:24 am
Andree
cute lynxxx, did they get on
2:25 am
lynxxx
Yep, apparently they always do
2:25 am
lynxxx
Yep, apparently they always do
2:26 am
moonwoof
Seriously?? I would think that odd in a dog breed.
2:26 am
moonwoof
They just dont fight?
2:27 am
lynxxx
I think they are lovers not fighters
2:27 am
moonwoof
I know they're sweethearts, but still... That must make breeding them a treat lol
2:28 am
moonwoof
Im looking forward to a morning of high pitched mayhem with 4 Jack russels... I can only Hope they're half so sweet.
2:28 am
herinfernallady
How old are they
2:28 am
jillibus
Well. 30 left for the morrow and bed for me -- night all -- have fun
2:28 am
lynxxx
4? I thought you had just 2
2:29 am

I only have one jack, actually. But we have a Jack and a cabbage (aussie shepard) my partner has 3 more Jacks.
2:30 am
moonwoof
Nite Jilli! Sleep sweetly.
2:30 am
jillibus
TTFN all *poof*
2:30 am
herinfernallady
Oh i thought they were puppys
2:31 am
moonwoof
For a dog they really act like puppies until they're around 8 or 9... but even her 8 year old is feisty, still.
2:31 am
lynxxx
An Aussie Shepherd, I know they are very popular in the States but we really don't see them over here
2:32 am
moonwoof
That's really funny, Lynxx. And truth be known, I didnt know much about the breed before we rescued her. I've learned more since, but she doesnt seem to be indicative of the breed.
2:33 am
moonwoof
Almost all of the others I've met like her are Much smarter, for instance. She acts much more Beagle than she does herder.
2:33 am
moonwoof
She practically lives with her nose stuck to the ground. I almost never see her eyes lol
2:34 am
lynxxx
what color/s are her eyes?
2:34 am
moonwoof
She has one brown eye and one half blue/brown
2:35 am
moonwoof
Like a star burst of blue to the right of the pupil on her right eye.
2:36 am
herinfernallady
Oh Moon is she normal function
2:36 am
lynxxx
They are very pretty dogs. Andree/Infernal do you see these dogs around - in fact, do you even know the dog at all?
2:37 am
herinfernallady
What dog?
2:37 am
moonwoof
In the left eye, yes. But the half colored eye is blind in the blue part. A breeder told me that the lack of color indicates a lack of rods and cones there making them partially blind.
2:38 am
lynxxx
An Aussie Shepherd...about the same size as a border colloie but with a very pastel colored coat, beige greys & tan...usually with pale/odd colored eyes
2:38 am
moonwoof
She means are you familiar with Australian Sherpards as a breed.
2:38 am
herinfernallady
Had to look that up. Yes my friend had them
2:38 am
herinfernallady
Thats interesting Moon
2:39 am
lynxxx
I've never actually seen one...only on US docu. shows
2:39 am
herinfernallady
My friend had about 5 of them
2:39 am
moonwoof
There's been more darkening of the coat from what I can tell in the last decade of the breed but always speckled like appaloosas
2:42 am
herinfernallady
I am tired can someone please tell me the 8 i just cant see it
2:42 am
moonwoof
Usually a very intelligent dog too. We missed on that part, but she's also a sweetheart and very pretty.
2:42 am
herinfernallady
Hence the Cababge?
2:42 am
moonwoof
the 8 is a plural of the "blinkers" on a car.
2:43 am
moonwoof
Exactly. Very cabbage. She has a head...
2:43 am
rolin
indicators????
2:43 am
moonwoof
It's just normally found on or very close to the ground.
2:44 am
lynxxx
My husband just told me that these dogs are American, not Australian as such. I just googled it it couldn't find any sites in Australia.
2:44 am
Andree
don't think i have ever seen australian shepherd except in pictures
2:44 am
moonwoof
Or creepy guys who wear trenchcoats without anything underneath??
2:44 am
herinfernallady
Interesting
2:44 am
rolin
oooooohhhh...lol..
2:44 am
Andree
daughter has border collie with 1 brown eye and 1 blue eye
2:44 am
herinfernallady
THANKs
2:44 am
moonwoof
I wouldnt be surprised by that... but I wonder then, why they're called Aussie Shepards.
2:45 am
lynxxx
He vaguely remembers reading about an Aust Blue Heeler being taking to the States (during the Gold Rush times?)
2:45 am
moonwoof
the breeder said that if the eye is all one color of it's own, the vision is usually fine. But the multi colored single eyes are indicative of blindness.
2:46 am
moonwoof
And for her, it's definately the case. She runs into stuff on that side all the time.
2:46 am
lynxxx
and TY for the 8
2:46 am
herinfernallady
Puppy is cute
2:46 am
moonwoof
Or if you throw a ball past that eye she loses track of it at a certain point.
2:46 am
herinfernallady
Thanks for the 8
2:47 am
moonwoof
Ty Lynx. That might well explain it... Heelers do have a similar splotchy thing. He's probably right.
2:47 am
Atalante
wow, that's one emo-cat, herin! saw the pandora vid on LJ :)

When we got her I was really worried about the blindness and running into stuff, but I never thought to look the breed up per se ty lol
2:50 am
herinfernallady
She is cute
2:51 am
lynxxx
TY Infernal, that site shows it is in fact a US breed
2:52 am
herinfernallady
Wiki can be usefull at times
2:52 am
moonwoof
She is Definately not that furry, but the eyes on the middle dog are close.
2:53 am
moonwoof
Hmm. I wonder if I have a picture... Now that I've looked she almost looks more like a Heeler than a shepard...
2:53 am
herinfernallady
HI Eg
2:54 am
lynxxx
Interesting, 25% of pups from 2 merles bred together will be deaf/blind
2:54 am
moonwoof
that was the sort of thing that the breeder mentioned. I couldnt remember the name for the coloring tho.
2:55 am
moonwoof
there were several things she mentioned that we should have Dianna checked for that are linked to the recessive coloring.
2:55 am
herinfernallady
But cute ?
2:58 am
moonwoof
Very cute.
2:59 am

And how was work today and did you contain yourself in your dealings with the public!
3:44 am
Jandy
Fractionally, but I'm told it's a slow, slow process.
3:44 am
redturtlehead
I am still at work, it has been ok, I made the mistake of taking a night time cold medicine and am batting sleep...
3:45 am
Jandy
Ah, that never helps. On the other hand, there are probably lots of beds with nice clean white sheets at hand...
3:45 am
redturtlehead
Well, yes, but no sleeping. I took a nap during my Lunch break, lucky thing it isn't bad tonight.
3:46 am
Jandy
Indeed. Although I imagine a nice fullblown emergency would send enough adrenalin through you to get you going nicely. Not to wish bad for anyone...
3:47 am
redturtlehead
I'd hope so...
3:47 am
Jandy
Been back to the gyn today... was left a bit stunned
3:50 am
redturtlehead
oh no jandy... on no.
3:50 am
Jandy
Nothing too bad, just a hyst. asap. Like really asap.
3:51 am
Jandy
Cute phantom... smurf...
3:53 am
VolleymomDee
jandy did that in 1993... best thing that ever happened to me... I felt like a new woman
3:54 am
Jandy
Thanks Volley! I need to hear that at the moment. Went in and was basically told there were no options. Anaemia is shocking and I can't go on this way. So, into the fray!!
3:56 am
VolleymomDee
I went through all sorts of female problems... numerous surgeries; lap procedures; bleeding; meds; pid; endometriosis, yada yada... so by the time they said enough, I was kinda ready
3:57 am
VolleymomDee
I was pretty young, had only one child, and had wanted more, so had a brief issue with that, but having no pain, no periods, etc after... I truly did feel like a brand new lady
3:57 am
Jandy
It does all get a bit tedious, doesn't it! And I am WELL past wanting another baby, my youngest being 26 this year... can't imagine telling him he's going to have a baby brother or sister!!
3:58 am
VolleymomDee
only hints I have re surgery: ask for pain pump while in hospital because you can get up and walk faster; take oral meds like they tell you; have a pillow to put across tummy for coughing, and you will get through just fine!
3:58 am
Jandy
Really good practical advice, thanks. And I will remember it/
3:59 am
VolleymomDee
I even had huge incision across all muscles and still did well. Plus once anemia resolves, you will have scads of energy.
3:59 am
Jandy
Were you working, and how long did you take off work if so.
3:59 am
VolleymomDee
I was off 7 weeks, but at that time in my life worked in an office, so I did do some things at home after about 2 weeks.
4:00 am
VolleymomDee
My hubby was pretty protective at first though, so I could build my strength back up.
4:00 am
Jandy
Been reasonably anaemic for the past year but has reached crisis proportions in the past couple of weeks. Had transfusion last week and prospect of another to come. Looking forward to feeling like myself again!
4:00 am
VolleymomDee
And my office job was about a 55 hour job, so he was pretty adamant I not go back too soon.
4:01 am
Jandy
I have great family and friend support, too, which will make a huge difference. And, like you, my job is pretty demanding, including air or distance road travel every week, so I'm sure I will want that sort of time off.
4:01 am
VolleymomDee
My count was down to 8 right before my surgery... time when there was an AIDs scare with local blood supply, so they did surgery with fingers crossed that I wouldn't need blood.
4:02 am
Jandy
Yep, I'm at 7 at the moment.... feeling ordinary.
4:02 am
VolleymomDee
You definitely won't want to rush back until doc says it is okay. I didn't let them guilt me into coming back too soon. I bet you feel soo lethargic every day; I remember how tired I was.
4:02 am
Jandy
And thank goodness confidence abounds about transfused blood now.
4:03 am
VolleymomDee
so very true; whole new ball game now
4:03 am
Jandy
The trick is that it sneaks up on you... if you went to bed healthy one night and woke up feeling like this the next morning, you would rush to the doctor. But this was so incremental, it was only when I was breathless walking up a few steps that I really thought something was wrong.
4:04 am
VolleymomDee
try not to be apprehensive, I truly wouldn't have mentioned it, if I hadn't done well. Within the following couple of years several other of my friends had to have surgery, too. I totally agree with that; I had no clue just how bad it had gotten.
4:04 am
Jandy
I thought I just needed a career change, cause I was so uninspired about work! LOL!
4:05 am
VolleymomDee
some days I felt like I couldn't put one foot in front of other one or lift head from pillow
4:05 am
Jandy
Fortunately, I am in a medical job and have seen the procedure many times, for me that really helps diminish any anxiety. I've always been one of those people who needs to understand...
4:06 am
VolleymomDee
I have probs taking iron, so I had to try to eat right foods after, but that all improved so quickly after, it was amazing.

VolleymomDee
I have probs taking iron, so I had to try to eat right foods after, but that all improved so quickly after, it was amazing.
4:06 am
VolleymomDee
ditto that
4:06 am
VolleymomDee
oops sorry for the burp
4:06 am
Jandy
Thanks for sharing your experience. It really does help make me sure it's the right thing to do!
4:07 am
VolleymomDee
they did mine in the fall of 93... I was born in 55, so you can do the math.
4:07 am
VolleymomDee
It sure sounds like it is the right choice and that you doc has been as conscientious as mine was about not doing an unnecessary procedure.
4:08 am
Jandy
Yep, we've tried everything. All complicated by the fact that I had a DVT last year from flying, so everything hormone based is out of the running..
4:09 am
VolleymomDee
I did take hormone replacement for a few years after, then after about 7 years, found I really didn't need it anymore, so I stopped taking it. I couldn't do any of that beforehand either, but I did live on anaprox for about 2 years; great med, but eventually that didn't help.
4:10 am
Jandy
No HRT once you've had a DVT either. If I had known how much bother it was going to be, I never would have had one!
4:10 am
VolleymomDee
I had had several cysts removed every so many years, grew them like fingernails. DVT was caused by what?
4:11 am
Jandy
Just by flying. But I got mine the hard way, through many domestic flights. Didn
4:11 am
Jandy
Didn't even get to go to somewhere exotic!
4:11 am
VolleymomDee
that stinks
4:12 am
Jandy
I know... there was no upside! Grin! And now I have to inject heparin when I DO want to go somewhere exotic. Was hoping heparin was a secret diet tool, but apparently not!
4:13 am
VolleymomDee
if I hadn't been so young then, I don't think my doc would have done hrt then.
4:13 am

Hiya pink! Please excuse previous gyny based chat!

BabbleRabble
the only ones that elude me are the ones I can't find
4:19 am
pinkhatlil
thats the one babb, i always thought you were american! Jandy she doesn't wee on the floor as i have the potty near by if she cant make it to the toilet
4:19 am
Jandy
What about the non-equine word from the bottom right F please?
4:19 am
VolleymomDee
I almost always miss half the plurals. LOL babble
4:20 am
Jandy
Good thinking pink... it's in your interest to develop the reflexes of an F1 driver at this point!
4:21 am
VolleymomDee
not through with that one yet jandy... sorry
4:21 am
Jandy
Well at least it's not super obvious then!
4:21 am

4:38 am
BabbleRabble
As you all can see, ezboard has been absorbed and trasnformed by Yuku. There was no choice for individual boards to stay with ezboard. So it is a done deal.
4:38 am
Jandy
ISC? with blank face. Well, blanker than usual...
4:39 am
rolin
ooohh..this is something....erm..i cant remember who told me about..scrabble in real time...i havent played much on facebook since i found it..
4:39 am
rolin
ppl set the times of games...so you have a counter counting down...and you lose points for going over the time...but 25 mins is plenty...and its great fun
4:39 am
Jandy
Will have to have a look. Use Scrabulous for email Scrabble but it is SO unreliable...

Hi sprite. How is hubby today?
5:10 am

red, I believe moonwoof had exactly the same problem as hodag. It just didn't work.
5:10 am

And then you enter your fliker user name and voila, it all appeared....
5:10 am
redturtlehead
Jacula has that problem as well.
5:11 am

You can email Dr G....
5:11 am

hubby is seeing the rheumatologist right now. I couldn't sleep tonight and took a pill, and overslept, haven't seen him this morning :(
5:11 am
Jacula
Morning all. I had my flickr pics linked, accidentally deleted the link (I think) and now can't get them back. I get an error message saying 'wrong username'. I've had to type a link in my bio instead.
5:11 am
P.J.
Hi sprite. I don't understand what the problem is!
5:12 am
sprite
dr God couldn't solve it either, I believe, for Jacula.
5:12 am
sprite
hi Jac! *hug*
5:12 am
redturtlehead
LOL sprite, i had a headache at work, and i took some night time cold meds. now feel very very sleepy....
5:12 am
Jacula
Dr_G said it was Flickr playing up, Flickr said it was 'a third party problem' probably and gave me another link with numbers in to try. No joy!
5:13 am
Frances
Good morning Jac.
Sprite I hope the rheumatologist can solve the problem. Is that what they think it is - not gout?
5:13 am
sprite
hehehe, poor red... though sleeping is probably best anyway if you feel like that.
5:14 am
redturtlehead
but not at work...
5:14 am
redturtlehead
I had a disappointing day in some ways. and it is affecting me, but I am starting to feel better.
5:14 am
sprite
hi Frances. They just don't know yet. They tried to get a sample of the inner joint fluids and it did not work. So now the gout specialist arranged an urgent appt with the rheumatologist. We will hear later today, I guess.
5:14 am
Jacula
Sorry to cut and run. I have to go out shortly. Just came in to add my information to the flickr debate. BBL for my final 28.

besides, I just don't know 14 K words if there isn't an N next to the K. ;)
5:19 am
redturtlehead
Well, Sprite, I do hope you'll come back on and let me know how things went later.
5:20 am
pinkhatlil
have you got any family or friends supporting you?
5:21 am
sprite
I will for sure, red. It means so much to me that you are all so supportive.
5:21 am
Frances
How long before you expect him home sprite?
5:21 am
sprite
I have you all, pink :) And some close friends who support me as best as they can, as far as their own personal sh*t allows.
5:23 am
sprite
Frances, I have no idea. His appointment was 50 minutes ago. I don't know what kind of extra things they need to do, like Xrays, blood, urine, whatever. Also don't know if they started at the appt. time.
5:24 am
sprite
and then it is a 30 minutes' drive home.
5:24 am
Frances
Timing always seems to be a problem with medical appointments. I hope he is home soon to put you out of your agony.
5:25 am
sprite
he let me sleep in stead of waking me up and letting me drive him there and support him! His heart is in the right place... wish I could say the same of his common sense, grrrrrr.
5:25 am
redturtlehead
I would agree I hate going to an appointment, My hand surgeon would not see you if you were late, but he could be up to 3 hours late....
5:25 am

i just read the log. you sound tired, fed up and at the point of despair. im gonna say a prayer for you and the family, in particular your hubby {{{hugs}}}

yeah, some doctors can be really arrogant jerks. But others work as hard as they can and just have emergencies in between.
5:26 am

He was an excellent Surgeon, and is pretty nice, but I definitely didn't like waiting that long for a 5 min looksie.
5:27 am

pink, how on earth do you pick up on those feelings while I am still cracking some unfunny jokes? But it is true. And I am very happy with you doing that for us. *hug*

It's officially been a year now since my poor hand surgery. Things are looking better than they were then.

5:28 am
redturtlehead
Do like Jacs, put a link in your bio.
5:28 am

what did they have to do on your hand, red, if I may ask? Hand surgery can be so tricky and painful and slow in healing.

that is suppose to be bug

Cool Marmar...

Hi Marmar!!
5:30 am
sprite
((((red)))) Tough sh*t! Glad there is some improvement. But I hear from your words that it is not yet 'good'?
5:31 am

sprite do you have the k that sounds likd a soft drink
5:31 am
Marmar
Hi everyone. I may have mentioned a while back, for Lent, I am spending less time....wait, I am trying to spend less time at the computer. That's why I am not chatting as much. I certainly miss it to tell you the truth. But I keep up with everyone's well-being by watching the chat go by.
5:32 am
sprite
I do, Nanette, thanks. And a weird combo that has 2 different vowels in the middle. Still 6 missing though :(
5:32 am
sprite
*hugs Marmar* Giving things up for Lent absolutely will make you appreciate them even more. You do great.

Sprite the hand is good. I fell on the fingers and damaged them very severly, so I am very lucky they work as well as they do. My Surgeon also did hand surgery on Venus Williams (The tennis star)...so I am very very lucky. One nice thing about slow healing is that I can not recall when my hand was more functional, I just know vaguely that it was...
5:34 am
NonoNanette
how about the word that refers to jewish foods
5:34 am
redturtlehead
Yay Marmar!!! Good on yout o be doing lent. I hoep all is well with the ironig in your house.

you are a good one, red. I love your spirit and your look on things. *huggggg*
5:35 am
redturtlehead
LOL... I personally feel like Charlie Brown this week, hence the icon, but, I do try to keep a better outlook.
5:36 am
redturtlehead
Doues your hubby have a cell Sprite? Can you call??
5:36 am
sprite
not in the hospital, red. It is not allowed to have them on there, they might interfere with equipment.
5:37 am
Marmar
Red, I actually ironed 12 of my husbands good shirts yesterday...took me hours...but got it done! Hope all is well with you!
5:37 am
redturtlehead
Oh, now I will be the first to say these days that is such a load of C***.
5:37 am
sprite
red, I agree! But the netherlands are slow in changing things like that.
5:38 am
redturtlehead
AWhen cells were new there was a risk that they could interfere, but now the newer ones run on a different band strenght or something, and they don't interefere, in fact mine is in my pocket now. but...in the US people also still turn off cells...
5:38 am
redturtlehead
I don't discourage it, because its hard to treat a pt when their cells keep singing the latest pop songs.
5:39 am
sprite
so very true, red. Cells are the #1 addition to complete rudeness in social life, if you ask me.
5:39 am
redturtlehead
So useful, but also sort of difficult to manage.
5:40 am
redturtlehead
but in this case, I think it would be nice if hubby could call you especially if he is waiting in a room for testing...
5:40 am
NonoNanette
our local hospital still has signs up to please not use cell phones but i overheard a tech that was trying to trace a problem with telemtry units that cell phones do not affect anything in the hospital anymore
5:40 am
BabbleRabble
I would consider a rule limiting cell phone use to a cell
5:41 am
sprite
You have my vote, BabbleRabble.
5:41 am
redturtlehead
nanette, that is true, as far as the cells from the last ten years... but limiting cell use is more peaceful for inpatients.
5:42 am
redturtlehead
BER how is your hammock?
5:42 am
redturtlehead
er BR...
5:42 am
NonoNanette
true red..... a little common sense goes a long way..... cells can be put into silent mode and you can step out in the hallway to take calls etc
5:43 am
BabbleRabble
heading there soon
5:43 am
redturtlehead
I do love having the cell though...
5:43 am
redturtlehead
I can't wait to head home myself, it has been a very disturbing day...
5:43 am
sprite
I have seen people talking on their cells while paying for their shopping in the grocery store. Like the lady behind the counter is just another machine.
5:43 am
NonoNanette
i have mine with me for emergency use and very seldom use it
5:44 am
redturtlehead
I have been guilty of that sprite. it is my only phone, no land line.
5:44 am
P.J.
cells are good but not in hospitals or when driving a car!!!
5:44 am
redturtlehead
But I always try to smile really big at the shop lady if I can not avoid it...
5:44 am
redturtlehead
Cell very bad for driving. I can not do it. i have to pull over!
5:45 am
sprite
red, there is a big difference between not being able to avoid it, or just not caring. I don't think you don't care ;)

5:46 am

in the netherlands, it is illegal to have a handheld cell in your hands while driving. You can only talk on your cell if you use a car kit.

5:50 am

Oooh the fl 7 is an old man in a raincoat.
5:51 am

But where would you end it pink? Will it come down to banning any conversation with a passenger in a car if talking as a distraction?
5:51 am
sprite
hehehe red, thanks for those too
5:51 am
redturtlehead
I thought it was funny.
5:52 am

6:15 am
carleekat
its k turtle
6:15 am
carleekat
it OK I mean
6:16 am
redturtlehead
If it is GB, its usually a simple day surgical laproscopic procedure, or watch your diet until it gets bad...
6:17 am
redturtlehead
but I doubt it is that.
6:17 am
redturtlehead
What are you doing when the pain gets bad?
6:17 am
lori ann
Hi everyone...
6:17 am
carleekat
but if it is..what is it that will indicate to me that it is
6:17 am

Hi lori.

BabbleRabble
hello, lori ann
6:18 am
carleekat
i don't know..just seems to hit mid afternoon..I will watch for it today
6:18 am
redturtlehead
Usually you get pain in the right upper area of the abdomen, and often after eating a heavy meal...
6:18 am
redturtlehead
the pain tends to go through to your back, which is why I thought of it in the first place.
6:18 am
carleekat
no..this NOT back..this is upper back...a thick tightening like a wide rubber band across upper back
6:18 am
redturtlehead
like more like the neck area upper?
6:19 am
carleekat
been NO abbdominal pain..i KNOW about that crap..( bowel resection due to HUGe abcess and an ectopic pregnancy rupture )
6:19 am
carleekat
below shoulder blades and above bottom of ribcage
6:20 am
redturtlehead
that would be where the GB pain would be, but like I said I dont think thats it, usually you'd also have nausea, and gassiness, etc...
6:20 am
carleekat
nope and nope
6:20 am
redturtlehead
If it goes on for the rest of the week, i think you maybe need to see MD...
6:21 am
carleekat
yea... what I was planning on..thanks...
6:21 am
redturtlehead
But I am curious as to what you are doing when it hits...
6:21 am
sprite
the good news is: it is gout. The specialist took a fluid sample, scoffed at the other doctor that tried for being at least a cm too low, and found gout crystals.
6:21 am
carleekat
yesterday I was doing babble
6:21 am
redturtlehead
Yay, Sprite, however, Gout is pretty painful...
6:22 am
redturtlehead
Babble can be stressful Carlee!!!
6:22 am
sprite
no rheuma!
6:22 am
carleekat
gout not fun
6:22 am
sprite
yes, we know, red. But they said it could be rheuma, and with my husband being an active outdoor man whose heart is in canoeing and camping out, that was frightening
6:23 am
redturtlehead
Gout is better than a Dx of Rheum Arthritis. for certain!!!
6:23 am
sprite
he has gotten new meds too, to take when an attack happens. Bad stuff, but effective, the specialist said.
6:24 am
sprite
and they keep him under supervision for a while, both the rheuma specialist and the gout specialist, to see what happens with the new meds.
6:25 am
sprite
and no, gout is no fun at all, carlee, I know! Extremely painful and limiting. But the prospect of my husband having rheuma was much worse.
6:26 am
carleekat
now.>WHY did that go through am using lickety add
6:26 am

PK--Lake Erie is keeping us warmer than you.

Cool, DR!

me too scrabs -- husband usually handles the ugly duty but alas he's out of town. Conveniently, he was gone for the shoveling as well!
7:35 am
Scrabbler
It was frigid, but I did my duty---actually it is sunny and beautiful out there, just crisp and with immediate freezing of nasal hairs.
7:35 am

wow scrabbler, what's the weather symbol for that?
7:36 am

If I had the day I off I would put on layers and go for a walk, but I have to make hospital rounds then work 11-6.
7:37 am
pk
My dogs think they'd like to go out because it looks so nice, then they get out and want to come right back in.
7:37 am
Scrabbler
Haha, jbp, there should be an index---e.g. nose hairs freeze in 2 seconds, loss of facial sensation in 4 seconds, lung tissue gets cold in 6 seconds, etc.
7:37 am
jbp
it's wind chill with a wicked bonus
7:38 am
Scrabbler
And we got lots of new snow this week---at least a foot, so cross-country skiing will be great tomorrow on my day off!
7:39 am

hi friends...We have a cold day here as well. It's about 12 with the winds it's awful!!!
7:39 am

I admire your ability to make the most of the winter Scrabs!

well, with 84 left, I"m off to work
7:39 am

7:45 am
Scrabbler
I have a lightbox, Lori Ann--helps a lot, and you should be taking 2000 units of vit D each day.
7:47 am
lori ann
What does the Vit D do for you Scrabbs???
7:47 am
pk
can you get vitamin D in something other than a pill Scrabs?
7:48 am
lori ann
How about b-12 shots??? My dr. just gave me one last week.
7:48 am
Scrabbler
It is the "sunshine" vitamin. People living in the northern latitudes get deficient for much of the year. The easiest way to get a lot is to take Vit D3. Vit D is added milk. Or cod liver oil!
7:49 am
Scrabbler
There has been much focus on vit D in the last several years, regarding depression, cancer, MS. It is a superstar vitamin!
7:50 am
Scrabbler
B12 supplements are needed for people that cannot absorb it---pernicious anemia. Do you have that problem, LA?
7:50 am
lori ann
I will try it Scrabbs...thank you!! did you say vitamin d3?
7:50 am
Scrabbler
A great and reputable resource: Dr Andrew Weil. I don't buy his products but he has valid info.
7:51 am
Scrabbler
Yes, vit D3--cholecalciferol. I buy 1000 U tabs and take 2 daily. My friend with brain cancer is getting 10, 000 U /day as vit D is an antioxidant.
7:52 am
lori ann
No ...I do not have anemia I just have had NO energy whatsoever!!! I count the hours till I can go back to bed!!!
7:53 am
Scrabbler
Then a lightbox and vit D3 are the solutions for you! You will see dramatic improvements, LA.

true Scrabble, but you get tons more snow, so it's a good trade off
7:55 am

I have the lightbox too Scrabbs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But on a sunny day, no matter how cold, just get your face i the sun Lori Ann. I find that works better than the lightbox.

I guess you got me there atalante....I think they would enjoy this also. We walk all the time through the woods in the spring and summer and fall. I guess I just need to brave the WINTER!!!

AsGreen
hello? I must be buried in your chats - surely someone meant to greet me! :)

Atalante
I spent 2 hours hiking around the fields with Hobbit this morning. It was *so* nice. Just to be out by the sea.
8:00 am
Atalante
yes, do, lori. I mutter and swear about going out with hobbit in the winter and delay and refuse and always feel so much better when I've actually got my ass outside for 10 minutes. After a short while you forget about the grumbling and just enjoy whatever's out there
8:00 am
lori ann
You are so lucky to live by the sea Atalante!!! My favorite place in the world is anywhere near the ocean. I just love the sounds of the waves.
8:01 am
AsGreen

8:01 am
lori ann
HI ASG....was absorbed in my own world here!!!

hi Jacula
9:09 am
Judi
S'okay. Leo, the installer, is not wearing earplugs. I think he should be. He's also not wearing safey goggles. I'm in the upstairs room, so I can't see him. His boss should be here shortly though.
9:09 am
Jacula
Well, it's his choice I guess.
9:10 am
nancethefan
what is he installing?
9:10 am
Judi
Oops. Forgot the air compressor for the air gun. Lots of noise for a small job. I'm sure the end result will be faaaabulous though.
9:11 am
Jacula
Hardwood flooring, nance.

Now he's singing.... in Spanish.
9:11 am
Jacula
LOL, Judi.
9:12 am
Judi
Singing LOUDLY, of course - so he can hear himself over the noise. lol.
9:12 am
Jacula
I love flamenco music but hate the caterwauling that passes for 'singing' that goes with it.:(
9:13 am
Judi
All together now... "what are the words to LaBamba"....
9:13 am
Jacula
You'll have to make a video for us, Judi. (With sound.)

@Para bailar La Bamba,
Para bailar La Bamba, Se necesita una poca de gracia,
Una poca de gracia, pa' mi, pa' ti y
Arriba, arriba.. y arriba, arriba
Por ti sere por ti sere por ti sere.
Yo no soy marinero Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan soy capitan soy capitan

I came at just the right time ... peppy start to my babbling, Jacula. Gracias
9:15 am
Jacula
That'd be 'carpenters' crack', a cousin of 'builders bum', would it, nance.
9:15 am
Judi
I don't think La Bamba was ever supposed to make sense. It's like the Spanish version of "Wooly Booly"
9:16 am

La Bamba in English: 'In order to dance La Bamba,
In order to dance La Bamba, you need a little grace
A little grace for me, for you
and up up, and up up
I'll be there for you,I'll be there for you,I'll be there for you
I am not a sailor, I am not a sailor
I am a captain ,I am a captain'
9:17 am
Judi
Like I said, it doesn't make sense in any language.
9:17 am
Jacula
Sounds better in Spanish!
9:19 am
nancethefan
darn - is that all that song means? lol
9:21 am
Jacula
I'd better go and put my shopping away. Have fun, you lot.

Have you ladies ever had a period of time, a day or more, of doing productive things, but seemingly detached from what you are doing... sort of half-plugged in, but not exactly depressed?

Sort of half-there, attuned to something, but not exactly emotionally vested? I don't know what the hell I'm trying to say, but you seem to have a handle on it.

Hello dear peri!

10:50 am

That may be more true, Owl... on the cusp of good weather, champing at the bit to go garden... watcing the annual mirace of flowers... birds, more sun... something... can't grasp the off-centeredness of this feeling...
10:51 am

Glad you had a spectacular time, there, movie.

peri, like that game show with competing families - ass an extra vowel
10:56 am

I'd pay to see that, Owl.

thanks Owl, was looking at the wrong F
10:57 am
Haz1558
Just blame it on FM.
10:57 am
Scarlet
No particular focus, Haz. Out of it, with no physical, underlying cause... detached would be the best way to describe it.
10:57 am

I have a surplus of energy... unaided by too much caffiene or anything else... I feel like a loving shadow lately... cannot be whole... it's a very odd, detached sense...
11:00 am
Haz1558
And have you ever felt like this before?
11:00 am
Scarlet
I shall, Owl... maybe I just need the healing powers of sunshine and flowers...

I am absolutely no expert, Scarlet. My advice would be to give yourself some time - and sunshine, but if that doesn't resolve things, then visit your doctor, even for a general discussion.
11:04 am

You had a lot of worry last year with family illnesses etc. Perhaps your mind is coming to terms with that?

I have never, ever, used the word "bored"... in fact, my children were never permitted to use that word... it just is not the case... I have a surplus of stimulation both mentally and spiritually... this is just so darned odd. Well done, peri!

11:05 am

maybe you need time alone, Scarlet, to reflect on your life, etc
11:05 am
Scarlet
Of course, peri... I do worry about my husband, but this is not centered in that direction.
11:07 am
Scarlet
I am an urban hermit, peri... we both are, and it is a perfect union in that respect... I don't overload my plate with too much social interaction... we both truly crave our solitude.
11:07 am
Haz1558
I think you can be strong for a long time, but eventually, whether you like it or not, your mind or body just wants to call a halt. Perhaps this is one of those times.

11:13 am

Hi Debs, not good to hear but tears are always a good relief
11:13 am
Scarlet
I needed them long ago, but this does not feel like depression... it's more like: did a chupacabra take over my body when I wasn't looking? I am scared to witlessness in the water, Owl... but you can hide me in the center of the ship, so I don't have to see the ocean... LOL
11:14 am

Hi Sprite! how are you? how is yr husband - the blood test results show anything?
11:54 am

hi, sprite!! :D
11:54 am
darthdude
Heya Sprite
11:55 am
sprite
hi lynxxx! The rheuma specialist took a sample of the fluid in the toe joint today and he found gout crystals. He ruled out rheumatism completely, he said. It is gout, and so we fe4 it is the better of the 2 bads. We are very relieved. My husband has gotten new meds now, they should work better.
11:55 am
sprite
hey dc :) *HUG*
And hi darth
11:55 am
dcseain
oh, so glad to hear, sprite!
11:56 am
sprite
yeah, may sound weird to be happy with gout as a diagnosis, but we were really afraid it was rheumatism. My husband is an outdoor man, he loves canoeing and camping out. So that would really have been worse.
11:56 am
lynxxx
Oh good! I realise gout can be agony but at least it comes & goes. A lot of it is food related (esp seafood/crustaceans), are they looking at his diet too?
11:57 am
dcseain
ko 6/7, pls?
11:58 am
sprite
actually, they say that the food related part is highly exaggerated, lynxxx. They claim it is about 5% that is influenced by food. I am not so sure myself, and we have been looking into it for a while, trying to see which triggers there are.
11:58 am
lynxxx

sprite my brother has gout
11:58 am
dcseain
i know one person whose gout flares up if he eats too many carbs/drinks too much beer
11:58 am
sprite
dc: Jewish food that is strictly according the rules
11:58 am
praise2him
and food definitely triggers his
11:59 am
dcseain
ty, sprite, i didn't look that way
11:59 am
lynxxx
Sprite - did you hear MRP is back in hospital. Would seem all those months last year were too no avail
11:59 am
sprite
yes, I really fe4 the specialists are wrong about this. But it is kinda hard to stimulate my husband to watch his beer/food intake if they say it doesn't matter much. But I think it does make a difference.
12:00 pm
sprite
no lynxxx, did not hear that. That is terrible. What happened?
12:00 pm
dcseain
the infection pain flared up again, sprite
12:00 pm
sprite
omg I am so sorry for her and for lickety. Just what they don't need.
12:02 pm
dcseain
at least they don't live in the States, so it won't bankrupt them.

that is really sad news, guys
12:03 pm
dcseain
yes, two or three days ago she wont back in hospital
12:04 pm
sprite
wont? won't or went?
12:04 pm
dcseain
went, not wont :)
12:05 pm
sprite
pardon my french, but that sucks.
12:06 pm
dcseain
my mom got reprimanded at work once for using that word, which she had learned from the kids. Knowing what i could repeat when i started school, and the fact thit i knew wthat whoremaster was at 9 speaks to how mild an invective that was coming from her. LOL
12:07 pm
lynxxx
mmm, yes I agree. Lickety said they would be trying the antibiotic route - again I think although maybe its was just discussed last year
12:08 pm
sprite
just dropped him an email... this is all terribly hard on him as well.
12:09 pm
dcseain
yes sprite, she hid it from him. he learned at 11PM on Monday when an ambulance showed up to take her.
12:09 pm
lynxxx
I was such an innocent, at 18 I remember finding out that a WARmaster was actually a whoremaster. Suddenly the conversation made much more sense.
12:09 pm
sprite
that is not very wise.
12:10 pm
lynxxx
Oh no DC! what a way to find out
12:10 pm
dcseain
he said she was being brave, but i agree with you, sprite
12:12 pm
sprite
yeah... well, worse mistakes have been made out of good intentions. I think communication is a basic thing in emergencies (or whenever, actually). But it is hard.
12:12 pm
dcseain
indeed, sprite, i concur
12:14 pm
sprite
and lol, lynxxx, that is so funny!
12:15 pm
dcseain
that's amazing lynxxx, that you went that long :D
12:21 pm

did the chat freeze or are we all too sad to chat?

the National Mall is lined with el4, cloned from one in front of the Castle, which was resistant to Dutch el* disease
12:22 pm
dcseain
i was seeking my last HEs, sprite, which took all my focus :)
12:23 pm
sprite
funny how the word Dutch always seems to be related to bad things
12:23 pm
dcseain
Double Dutch is a good thing
12:23 pm

I just got some more coffee, back now
12:23 pm

dutch el* disease, a dutch oven, going dutch...

No wonder you don't like the k's sprite. I have just finished them, and out of the 14, I have only heard of two words and their plurals

12:24 pm

Hi ExWren
12:25 pm
Atalante
and hi!
12:25 pm
dcseain
dutch oven is useful, and Dutch has many more positive associations in English than does Welsh
12:25 pm
dcseain
howdy, ata!
12:25 pm
sprite
hi ExWren, they drove me mad today. Luckily some dear babblers were nice enough to clue me some, or I would never have found them.
12:25 pm
sprite
what is Dutch courage?
12:25 pm
dcseain
exwren, i knew the nut and the verb of the Ks, the rest were new to me, too.
12:25 pm
sprite
well, I heard the dutch oven is when you let one fly and then pull the covers over your partner's nose.
12:25 pm
ExWren
thank goodness for 'more words'
12:26 pm
Atalante
dutch courage is the extra bravado you get from having had an alcoholic drink
12:26 pm
dcseain
indeed, exwren
12:26 pm
sprite
ah... not too positive either then.
12:26 pm
Atalante
it can be!
12:26 pm
dcseain
here in North America, a Duch Oven is a cast-iron pan with a lid for baking
12:26 pm
sprite
and hi Ata :)
12:27 pm
dcseain
usually with a capacity of 3-10L
12:27 pm
sprite
dc, is that the same as a slowcooking pan?
12:27 pm
lynxxx
lol, and we explained to Sprite the other day what the other dutch oven was
12:27 pm
sprite
lol lynxxx, that is the one I remembered!
12:28 pm
dcseain
er, i suppose so, sprite, not having ever heard of a slow-cooking pan.
12:28 pm
dcseain
i use my larger dutch oven for making shepherd's pie, though i don't use the lid in that case.
12:29 pm
hjule
make apple dump cake in my dutch oven..yum
12:29 pm
sprite
my kids ALWAYS seem to fight when they do the dishes. I just told them I have had it and they have to solve this fight themselves (they are 10 and almost 12). Am I too harsh?
12:30 pm
sprite
awwww apple dump cake... now I start fe4ing hungry again!
12:30 pm
dcseain
no, they need to learn to cooperate, sprite, and forcing them to do so is a way to help them learn
12:30 pm
hjule
i have mine each take a night now..not as much fighting
12:30 pm
sprite
good idea, hjule.
And thanks, dc. Was wondering for a second.
12:30 pm
dcseain
what is apple dump cake? other than a cake with apples.
12:31 pm
danf63
as long as there are no weapons involved in their "solving" the problem, 10 and 12 is the right age for them to work it out amongst themselves in my book sprite!
12:31 pm
sprite
thanks danf! No weapons allowed :)
12:31 pm
hjule
apples, dry cake mix and some butter on top
12:32 pm
hjule
great dessert on camp outs
12:32 pm
dcseain
huh, sounds easy, and delicious, add some cream, and yum
12:32 pm

I have made darth figure out how to get along with his cousins for a while now, and MOST of the time it works...ie no blood or visible bruising ;-)

*giggles* Good enough for me, danf :D

ExWren
Am I the only one who wonders about the mysterious babbler 'Michelle'? She is always among the top scorers, (just slipped 7 points at the moment), she has the second highest total score, near the top or 'cream of the crop' but she never on chatterbox
12:35 pm
Atalante
I can't remember the last time I looked at the rankings!
12:35 pm
dcseain
obviously, she plays regularly, but is not a chatter.
12:35 pm

12:35 pm

hello everyone! I never look at the rankings..
12:36 pm

not all players chat, she is clearly a regular, just not a chatter.

hi, annie, how are you?

ExWren
It would be nice to meet her though
12:36 pm

hardly ever check the rankings... they don't change much, do they ;)
12:37 pm
hjule
ratings? there are rating? no i am depressed.....
12:37 pm

hi dc, would like to say fine but I fell on Tuesday and I am all purple on my face, just came home from a cat scan...the doctor thinks I fractured my cheek

hjule, you should only be depressed if you look at them...and sometimes i have been surprised. People I thought would be WAY ahead of me are almost within reach
12:39 pm
Anniebrook
thanks, sprite and dc, just soreness and lovely colors
12:39 pm
hjule
i just looked, very sad for me...lol not really that worried about them just being sarcastic
12:40 pm
sprite
as long as they don't rank us in order of having the best fun or being most helpful, I am not interested ;)
Well, don't think I would be even then.
12:40 pm
lynxxx
oh AnnieB, you have been in the wars! Scarlet was asking after you earlier, was most concerned
12:40 pm
dcseain
i hope the fracture heals well. May make for an interesting skull for some futer archeologist
12:40 pm

tsk dc, I think Annie would be happy not to be interesting in this way, lol.
12:40 pm

1:30 pm
Ankhorite
Okay, I'm back for one second. It's a strip of storefronts, not a proper shopping mall, which will keep injuries down. Looks to me like a gas leak in one shop blew up the back of that shop and the back of the shop next to it and now I REALLY have to go go go, company coming, must go!! ::: races back out the door :::
1:30 pm
carleekat
byebye ankh thanks
1:31 pm
Uniquity
That was a crazy show, hallf the middle is gone. Certainly looks rather focussed. I was thinking a shopping mall as well! Strip mall ought to limit the number of injuries
1:31 pm
Uniquity
**shot, not show.
1:32 pm
carleekat
it does look odd doesn't it?
1:32 pm
carleekat

1:34 pm
carleekat
its a confetti cake..froma mix ( shhh..don't tell red )... and I make the icing just by taking coloured sprinkles and mixing into cool whip..letting sit for a couple hours and u get confetti icing
1:34 pm

I am not much for cake mixes, but it sounds good!

2:05 pm

2:06 pm

all the failing stuff in my home and life?
2:06 pm

must have someone to blame, grin
2:07 pm

thats what FM is for

LOLLLLLLLL well, I will send you the pic later and you can decide if that is true!
2:10 pm
Atalante
can't I see words today?
2:10 pm
sprite
and it is addictive, Ata. I want to go downstairs and draw, in stead of computing. That is sooo weird.
2:10 pm
sprite
sure you can, Ata. You already have. Lots of words! Just not the right babble ones.
2:11 pm
Atalante
put a sketchpad by your computer ;)
2:11 pm
Atalante
thats how I get through the day!
2:11 pm
sprite
good idea, I might. Though I have never seen myself as someone able to draw at all. Always wanted to be, though.
2:12 pm
Atalante
everyone can draw
2:12 pm
Atalante
everyone can draw
2:12 pm
Atalante
you just need to find your style and your confidence
2:12 pm
sprite
believe me, Ata, only people who can draw very well say that.
2:13 pm
Atalante
looooooool
2:13 pm
Atalante
its true though!
2:14 pm
Atalante
you don't need to do a perfect person or a perfect landscape. just play with colours, or draw what you see, or draw shapes or join the dots
2:14 pm
sprite
I would be very happy if I could learn to draw fantasy things. Just for fun. But I am happy with my gremlin, even if it is the only thing that will work out ever.
2:14 pm
Atalante
then one day you sit down and draw something like that in my pic :P
2:15 pm

are english miles longer than U.S. miles? *runs off to look*
3:00 pm
nancethefan
no - aren't they meters?
3:00 pm
nancethefan
i would guess a mile is a mile & a meter is a meter huh?
3:00 pm
stidmama
apparently not any more... :-D the "old" english mile was about 1.3 of the modern mile
3:00 pm
KatieMcG
Same miles stid, I have a training course with work. Need to be there at 9.15 so have to leave the house by 7 am
3:00 pm
Atalante
our miles are the same as yours!
3:01 pm
KatieMcG
I always thought so nance
3:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
in the US we use miles and we call it the English system but they are not English miles. that would make too much sense!!
3:01 pm

do y'all use miles?

I will hope for good weather (but the sun not in your eyes) and light traffic then, katie
3:02 pm

in fact, look at the film and video industry. film, invented in the 1800s, comes in millimeters, and videotape, invented in the 1900s, comes in inches. it's BACKWARD! lol
3:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
our miles are 5,820 feet long. does that help?
3:04 pm
stidmama
measurements are interesting... apparently the temperature scale we use today wasn't invented until glass-blowing reached the point at which a tube with a consistent diameter was possible. And then, some genius decided that boiling water would be set at zero, and freezing at 100! ???? (thank you Nova for many sleepless nights) LOL
3:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and our feet are very small. 9 and a half here. Heh heh
3:04 pm
nancethefan
lol mama
3:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
which scale has boiling water at zero?
3:05 pm
stidmama
you sure that's not 5280? *grin* and how many yards? (which I am told in another context what we call yards you call gardens.... --- just to further confuse us all)
3:05 pm
stidmama
some old scale, gwen, not used in a couple hundred years.
3:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, prolly 5,280, not the other. i can't even remember this stuff and i live here
3:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
one yard is 3 feet. that is consistent at least
3:06 pm
stidmama
AND they used to think that "hot" and "cold" were actual material qualities, not simply temperatures as we think of them.
3:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
do you know why men are better at reading maps than women?
3:07 pm
stidmama
but of course gwen, your feet are bigger than my feet... so where's the consistency? *looking at size 6 EEEE feet*
3:07 pm
nancethefan
i don't know that they r
3:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(it's a joke, dears)
3:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
men are better at reading maps than women because . . .
3:07 pm
stidmama
um. men are better at reading maps? because they have more practice getting lost????
3:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
. . . because only a man can conceive of one inch equalling 100 miles

3:44 pm
lilliann
a tombola is where you have prizes and then you put raffle tickets(numbered tickets) on them, they either have a 0 or 5 or they could have both on the end of each ticket on the prize and then you put tickets in a bag or box and if people pull the ticket out with a 0 or 5 they win the prize with that number
3:44 pm

lynxx, it was really quite embarrassing, I rang the hospital at midnight and said, "I don't know what I need, I don't know what to do, I just don't want to do this anymore".... well, they sent an ambulance out straight away and had me assessed for suicide watch! Of course, that never came to be after the staff talked to me, they just understood I was emotionally and physically exhausted, but still, embarrassing

MRP I think that is an excellent response from them. Obviously if you were ringing at that time of night you were desperate and needed help quickly. Let them think you might have been suicidal, who cares, you got the help you needed.

Hello Babblers; this grid looks a bit tricky. Is it?
7:03 pm
jillibus
yes, gramma, but she had her reasons, all to do with worries about where she and my mother and family were born. That was in Germany (of Australian parents) and they were all British subjects at that time. But when WW1 broke out they went to the USA but were considered German because they were born there and were not welcome. US immigration at that tiem (and later too) considered that if a cat had kittens in the oven they were cookies. So she was afraid to cross the border to Canada in case of hassles in returning.
7:03 pm

I mean the Grandma juice. Medicinal purposes only

Just seeing the thing about anti-rust paint. I remember one over here, can't remember the brand name right now but it was for painting rusty wrought iron etc. I had some gates to paint and bought their special brush cleaner also. It cleaned the brushes alright - dissolved all the bristles! LOL

Jandy
Hi Jacula, and anyone else who's around!
7:59 pm
Jacula
Hello, Jandy.
8:00 pm
Nef
Jac, is the penallty box stocked with chocolate? I won't go unless it is!
8:00 pm
Jandy
Hi Nef... sending some chocolate over the airwaves as we speak... fortunately I have it to hand!
8:01 pm
Jacula
I'll have you know, young lady, that in The Old Days, one only got stale bread and water in the PB! *Looks stern.* They're got far too soft these days.
8:01 pm
Jacula
Chocolate indeed!
8:01 pm
Jandy
Next thing they'll have TV....
8:01 pm
Nef
I'm craving it tonight; might fix some hot chocolate for my fix! :)
8:01 pm
nDanLia
[don't tell her about the hot tub]
8:02 pm
Jandy
(and avoid combining the TV, hot tub and chocolate... could be messy if not fatal)
8:02 pm
Jacula
nDan - Anj & Lola's hot tub wasn't in the PB it was right here in the log.:-)
8:02 pm
Nef
a hot tub in the PB; chocolate, and hot chocolate too? Sounds good!
8:03 pm
Jacula
LOL, Jandy.

8:05 pm
Nef
You know, in the bathroom I'd rather read than watch TV. Not my idea of a great place to spend THAT much time!
8:05 pm
Jacula
There used to be a hot tub with champagne, chocolate body paint... all sorts in the log! Not that I ever indulged, of course.;-)
8:06 pm
Nef
Any help with the al 4/7 please? I can't monkey it for anything tonight
8:06 pm
Jacula
A long, hot soak in a bath not to your liking, Nef?
8:06 pm
nDanLia
al not a right but a ***t
8:07 pm
Jacula
nDan - It's the only place they can be free of we women finding the next job for them, or nattering at them. And vice versa!
8:07 pm
Nef
ThanksnDan! I tried that before and it wouldn't go!
8:08 pm
Nef
Jac, long hot soaks in baths only dry out my skin and make me itch. The hot tub or a swim are both okay, the soaps just don't fe4/7 good to me
8:08 pm
Jacula
Reading in the bath is fine... until you drop your book.:(
8:09 pm
nDanLia
[mine goes t the office - it's his mistress ("oh,they can't survive without me")]

Eczema, Nef?
8:09 pm
Nef
LOL! Jac, you need those book holders!
8:10 pm
Jacula
Guess my boobs aren't as floaty as yours, Nef? ROFLOL.
8:10 pm
Jacula
nDan - he needs to learn they they CAN!
8:10 pm
Nef
yes; but I argue with my doc about it every time I break out! (Doesn't run in the family) So I stay out of long hot soaking tubs
8:11 pm
Nef
LOL, Jac! If you only knew! :D
8:12 pm
Jacula
Nef - if there is psoriasis or asthma in your family, then eczema also follows.
8:12 pm
Jacula
Don't need a photo, Nef. LOL
8:12 pm
Jacula
Oh, and hayfever.
8:13 pm

Dear me, and I was whining about having a cooler day with a maximum under 20C!
8:17 pm
Jacula
We had a 5. something earthquake here in UK the other night, and I was first to report it on here, though Carlee in Canada confirmed it for me. There have been lots of cartoons featuring typically messy teenagers' rooms with the caption, 'I'd just tidied up when there was this HUGE earth tremor!'
8:17 pm
Nef
I was very sick, just got back to work yesterday after 6 weeks off (septicemia and pyelonephritis, if you wanna know)
8:17 pm
