Very pleasant Just very happy. There is 5 half sisters.

Just1Mar

Nice!!!

2:28 am

sprite

here, kebabs are pieces of grinded meat, spiced and roasted. They are rather soft, compared to shoarma. And they have different spices.
Also we know doner kebabs, which is a lot like shoarma, but uses other meat and other spices again.

2:28 am

herinfernallady

Sadly my birth father is deceased *alcholism and she has no pics

2:29 am

mrpresident

well, apparently, it is really hard for this nurse! I am not a fat person, so the port is right there, visible even!! I am reporting it all to my doctor next week... hopefully they report it to the hospital

2:29 am

elder

Herin... a whole new family.. are you planning to meet them face to face ?

2:29 am

elder

Feeling more hungry...

2:29 am

Just1Mar

oh I see spritey.....I know those too.....think our kebobs have been americanized!

2:30 am

herinfernallady

One day at a time elder. Ok lovelys have to dissapear must go get more pc parts

2:30 am

mrpresident

I suspect that the port is deep, so they need a longer needle... how delightful

2:30 am

sprite

*makes elder a great veggie curry with basmati rice and lots of garlic.*

2:30 am

sprite

bye lady *hug*

2:30 am

Just1Mar

but they're all delicious if good quality is there

2:30 am

mrpresident

how did you go with your letter to your dad sprite?? ((hugs)) did it all go well?

2:30 am

elder

Mr P fat or thin, it's not that hard to find a port and place needle as required..

2:31 am

sprite

the letter turned out very well, mrP, thanks for asking. It was like giving birth, but harder. Have sent it about a week ago, haven't heard anything yet.

2:31 am

mrpresident

true elder... I will request a different nurse now.

2:31 am

herinfernallady

hugs sprite for being so brave. HUGS and loves bye poof

2:31 am

elder

Sprite.. that sounds ..... lovely... getting dressed will be round pronto to eat >>>

2:32 am

sprite

thanks lady :)

2:32 am

mrpresident

oh sprite! I hope that is cathardic for you! It would be great to send my mother a letter, but I suspect she would rip it up and be even more embittered

2:33 am

mrpresident

it is amazing of you to have the courage... am amazed by you yet again

2:33 am

elder

I am so lucky ... I have a great relationship with my mother..... and I know she loves me ... unconditionally .

2:33 am

bookwomen

firewords. good night everyone. time for a midnight snack. something with garlic.

2:33 am

sprite

for me it was important to get it out AND actually send it to my father, to confront him for once. I have never dared to before. Whatever he does with it, or not, is up to him and I don't care much.
For you, things are differently, I know. Follow your heart and your good sense, and I know you will do the right thing.

2:33 am

mrpresident

elder, as it should be darling, as it should be!

2:34 am

sprite

all I can hope for, elder, is that my kids will say that later :D

2:34 am

elder

My Father, now that is a different and too long a story to embark on ..

2:34 am

sprite

wtg book!

2:34 am

elder

Well done !!! bookworm.

2:35 am

mrpresident

I have the pleasure of a delightful, beautiful, intelligent daughter... I would never have thought a gorgeous person like her existed.
I was reminded today that I am her mother and she is lucky too. It made me feel so good. I could never imagine for a moment letting go of my children, not for one minute!

2:35 am

mrpresident

ah elder... at least you have mum. I have my father and he is a wonderful man

2:36 am

elder

Sprite... it was a brilliant act you did for yourself....it needed to be done and you climbed that mountain and made the descent * HUGS *

2:36 am

sprite

I have two rotten parents, but I had 2 lovely grandparents and I have many great friends now.

2:37 am

mrpresident

yes sprite, they will of course!!
You will never let them go cause you know the pain. It makes for a permanent and everlasting relationship being through what you have.

2:37 am

sprite

I did, elder, and it feels good :) Slowly recuperating from it, it took more energy than I realised, but I feel stronger.

2:37 am

elder

If you can't have both parents... one who is good and supportive makes up for the other.. well in my case it does..

2:37 am

sprite

I think so too, mrP. I will always love them and let them know they are much loved, whatever happens.

2:38 am

sprite

yay for your mum, elder :) And yay for yourself.

2:38 am

sprite

on a side note, I keep seeing ga4ba4 :)

2:39 am

mrpresident

haha! trust you sprite!

2:39 am

sprite

*grin* Yeah, well, what can I say ;) A dirty mind is a joy forever.
I think we both learned the importance of loving our children unconditionally, mrP. And we have great kids :)

2:40 am

mrpresident

yes sprite, we certainly do :))

2:40 am

elder

I have learnt through experience and my work, that any adult that provides the correct needs and wants for a child and the emotional attachment, provides for that child the strength to move forward, every child and adult needs to know that out there somewhere there is someone who loves them and thinks about them.

2:41 am

sprite

that is absolutely true, elder. There have been a couple of people in my life who didn't even do much, but just made the difference for me to decide to go on and not give up.

2:44 am

elder

Sprite and that is the thought to hold onto when live is hard.....( hugs) .. Feeling quite emotional, when I touch this subject, for all the children who are struggling to find their way.

2:45 am

sprite

same here, elder. May there always be someone who cares enough to tell them and show them.

2:45 am

elder

have tried to do that Sprite...

2:46 am

elder

so is this grid going to be too hard ! :)

2:46 am

sprite

me too, elder. And we know it makes a difference.

2:46 am

elder

::))))

2:47 am

elder

AS parents ( me anyway) I have not been and will never get it right all the time, but we have to remember that the good stuff overrides the not so good stuff.:)

2:48 am

sprite

not sure about the grid yet. I am going through it relaxed, but not near the end yet. And I don't see how it can harbour biggies, lol.

2:48 am

elder

Sprite.. goodness, just seen there is 8 and 9!!

2:49 am

sprite

I have learned that the worst thing a kid can have is a parent who doesn't make mistakes, or doesn't seem to. Of course we make mistakes. And if we admit it and apologise if we need to, it will only teach them good stuff. They don't need us to be perfect. They need us to love them and teach them about life until they are ready to venture out on their own.

2:50 am

mrpresident

the ta8 and 9 is easy though...

2:50 am

mrpresident

nice herb with chicken

2:50 am

elder

2:50 am

2:53 am

loredana

good morning frances great to see you here been a while

2:53 am

sprite

2:53 am

sprite

2:53 am

GroovyKiwi

good eve frances happy babbling nice to see you

2:53 am

elder

Groovy, we here have had torrential rain too and its been chilly for August. today the sun is trying hard to make an effort to shine and warm the earth.

2:54 am

GroovyKiwi

well we have been told that this storm which is supposed to last the next three days is bigger than the whole of australia lol

2:54 am

sprite

oh my, that is huge, Kiwi

2:54 am

mrpresident

oh joy for you kiwi! and cold as heck too... not nice for you all

2:54 am

elder

Mr P.. all I can think of is... um... 'Gone with the wind'.:)

2:55 am

elder

Hello Frances...

2:55 am

sprite

ahhhh got it! Good clue indeed, mrP.

2:55 am

sprite

Elder, that would be ***e with the wind. At the end :)

2:55 am

GroovyKiwi

and not nicer too because i have been out playing taxi for the last two hours - one to hapkido the other to tae kwon do and back home again

2:56 am

sprite

no pleasant conditions for driving, Kiwi. Glad you are indoors now.

2:56 am

GroovyKiwi

home indoors yes stoked the fire up ill be fine for another hour or so lol

2:56 am

mrpresident

ah, now luke wants to do hapkido... what is that like kiwi? suitable for a 9 year old?

2:57 am

elder

MrP and Sprite... have logged the clues.. am sure it will come to me at some point.. thank you both..

2:57 am

loredana

the joys of parenthood kiwi that weather send it back to oz

2:57 am

sprite

elder: start with the black sticky stuff on the roads and end with ***e with the wind.

2:57 am

GroovyKiwi

hapkido is much different to tae kwon do its more self confidence and self defence and kieran loves it - very discilplined towards self defence moves - there are no compeitions but you still go for the belts

2:57 am

loredana

great clue sprite

2:57 am

sprite

sounds like aikido, Kiwi?

2:58 am

sprite

thanks lobo, I got it thanks to mrP's clues.

2:58 am

GroovyKiwi

i think they are very similar yes

2:58 am

mrpresident

self defense moves would suit him too... as would self confidence. Is the costume expensive?

2:59 am

GroovyKiwi

dunno havent got one for him yet hes only been doing it two weeks lol but somehwere between $70-$100NZ ive been told

2:59 am

sprite

my kids do aikido and it is simply great. We even have 6 yo's in the group. It is strictly defensive, very good for self confidence. Simple judo outfit will do, not expensive at all.

2:59 am

sprite

once they got their black belt, they need the original outfit with special black trousers, but that will not happen for some years.

3:00 am

elder

Got them both... it took too long for such an easy word .... you babblers are so patient >>::)

3:01 am

sprite

roflol elder! Yeah, patience, my middle name (NOTTT). But you weren't testing my patience at all.

3:01 am

GroovyKiwi

3:18 am

nancethefan

5:36 am

mrpresident

he sat down and cried

5:36 am

nancethefan

thank you sweetie

5:36 am

nancethefan

i haven't yet gone to the other site i meant

5:37 am

kje

5:37 am

nancethefan

kk

5:37 am

mrpresident

according to percapita... australia is leading the olympics by 65 medals! lol!!

5:38 am

mrpresident

and some american chanels are broadcasting that the USA is leading the olympics! LOL... China are leading

5:39 am

mrpresident

and has been since day 1

5:41 am

kje

US has most medals... china has most golds... by like triple!

5:41 am

kje

aaahhh coffee!

5:42 am

kje

but most of those are probably swimming - LOL

5:43 am

nancethefan

i've never been a coffee drinker - diet coke drinker here

5:43 am

mrpresident

I would love to know... and I really would... how many drug cheats are amongst that number.
It is not something to discount, as some of the 'winning' countries are renowned for it

5:43 am

mrpresident

swimming is our forte too kje. we get many of our medals for that

5:43 am

EspritdJean

they test them pretty rigorously don't they?

5:43 am

kje

well, they are doing everything in their power to check - so would think they would find out

5:43 am

mrpresident

jean, it is something that has been avoided in China

5:44 am

nancethefan

i heard that HGH is like the fountain of youth - have y'all?

5:44 am

kje

yep - saw the aussie women win the relay last night - beautifully done!

5:44 am

EspritdJean

but during the games it is required

5:44 am

MonkeyGames

We make jokes about Walter being on pure HGH all the time...

5:44 am

mrpresident

what is HGH?

5:44 am

MonkeyGames

Human Growth Hormone

5:44 am

kje

france who everyone siad should win came in like 4th or 5th! weird how sometimes people just fall apart

5:44 am

nancethefan

hey espritd

5:44 am

EspritdJean

human growth hormone

5:45 am

EspritdJean

hey nance

5:45 am

mrpresident

oh the girls winning was amazing, but three countries beat the world record in that race!! that was amazing!

5:45 am

MonkeyGames

Walter is of course flooded with the stuf, being as he is 4 years old (almost)

5:45 am

mrpresident

ha, yes... I wonder how it is being hidden now in athletes

5:45 am

nancethefan

o sorry mr p - i didn't see your question - well done covering me babblers - lol

5:46 am

kje

hi jeanius!

5:46 am

kje

hey MG! are you on facebook?

5:46 am

EspritdJean

pretty sure someone secretly injected my ass with HGH

5:46 am

EspritdJean

hey kje

5:46 am

kje

LOL jean!

5:46 am

MonkeyGames

No... should i be

5:46 am

nancethefan

lol espirit

5:46 am

MonkeyGames

? that is...

5:47 am

kje

no should/shouldn't - just a question

5:47 am

kje

we play other games on facebook sometimes - big group of babblers over there too

5:47 am

MonkeyGames

Keep hearing about it, have not bothered checking it out yet.

5:47 am

MonkeyGames

I'll give it a glance soon!

5:48 am

kje

so on second thought - the answer is shouldn't... who needs another way to waste time!

5:48 am

MonkeyGames

True....

5:48 am

MonkeyGames

Sigh.

5:48 am

nancethefan

brb - i'm going to fix some brownies before the house gets too hot this afternoon - brb

5:48 am

MonkeyGames

Oooooh, brownies!

5:49 am

kje

mmmmm - wish I was at nance's

5:50 am

mrpresident

my kids are funny... they are criticising an outfit worn by a news reader... "it looks like a dove that has been run over by a car, eaten by hyenas, eyes pecked out by other birds, plucked and sprayed with air freshener, then shoved over her head to make what looks like a top"

5:50 am

kje

ouch!

5:50 am

MonkeyGames

Wow! Must be some top!

5:52 am

mrpresident

well, it was quite...... ugly

5:52 am

mrpresident

at least they know good taste!! of a hyena anyway!

5:53 am

kje

monkey will be so happy the fa4 /5 is in the grid - won't be able to keep her off it later tonight I fear : )

5:53 am

kje

not you MG - lil'monkey

5:54 am

MonkeyGames

Me? Which one? Looking... OHHH! Odd anyway... I do not seem to have an fa4/5 but my f's are greyed. Hmmm.

5:55 am

kje

fa 4 & 5

5:55 am

MonkeyGames

OH! My mistake.

5:56 am

kje

no, my sloppiness : )

5:57 am

MonkeyGames

No, really, fa4/5 is impossible so I should have figured out what you meant.

5:57 am

MonkeyGames

Can anyone clue the second tr5/10?

5:58 am

kje

I have not 1 tr so far : )

5:58 am

MonkeyGames

OK!

5:59 am

mrpresident

tr + number 1 with different vowel ending

5:59 am

kje

OK - I have a tr5/10 - means across - usually a prefix

5:59 am

EspritdJean

tr5 meaning across

5:59 am

MonkeyGames

Other one, but thanks folks!

5:59 am

kje

will keep looking then

5:59 am

MonkeyGames

Oh wait, Mr. p's clue is for the one I need... looking..

6:00 am

mrpresident

second one for sure

6:00 am

kje

TY mrp!

6:00 am

mrpresident

tr + 1 with diff vowel ending

6:00 am

MonkeyGames

That was it, thanks Mr. P!

6:00 am

mrpresident

yw !

6:01 am

mrpresident

and it takes a plural too

6:01 am

EspritdJean

must be too early for me I don't get it

6:01 am

kje

woohoo

6:02 am

MonkeyGames

Kje, I know you're a geriatrician and not a pediatrician, but can I ask... do you think such a long and slow improvement from a virus is normal in a four year old? We are into the sixth week of Walter's illness, and with some bad days still he is steadily but slowly improving...

6:02 am

mrpresident

you done kje??

6:02 am

kje

no mrp - just needed to woohoo

6:03 am

mrpresident

monkey, it is normal... it can take some kids 6 months to recover... it has been affecting my nephew for over a year

6:03 am

kje

depends on what he had MG - but as a clinician, I would be looking for other causes... not aggressively, but a blood smear would be in order

6:03 am

mrpresident

well..... WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

6:04 am

dizgrannie

hey Monkey, sorry to intrude, but get Walters tonsils/ears checked out....4/5 g/kids were the same....xx

6:04 am

mrpresident

but... my newphew has had croup for a long long time... sometimes things can develop into more aggressive bugs

6:04 am

kje

the most important thing is that he is getting better.... bad things do not generally get better, they get worse - so he is doing well!

6:05 am

MonkeyGames

Well,it turned out NOT to be mono, Mr. P. We do not know what it has been. I guess I will give it until next week and without dramatic improvement I'll take him back in. The thought of getting him through another blood test hgives me teh shudders, though.

6:05 am

kje

the doc has already done an exam diz, I believe

6:05 am

dizgrannie

okies

6:05 am

MonkeyGames

Diz, those have been looked at weekly throughiut this

6:06 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks kje. I just worry about things that SEEM to get better, like Lyme. Don't want cognitive and heart problems!

6:06 am

mrpresident

monkey, I am sorry you are going through this, as much as the little one is too, but he won't remember

6:06 am

nancethefan

back - brownies are in the oven - hey to anyone i missed entering

6:06 am

mrpresident

nance, if we could get food into this country, I would be begging for some brownies

6:07 am

kje

this is not typical for lyme's from what you have described... but you need to talk to your MD about your concerns and he/she can do the proper exam, history, testing as needed

6:07 am

MonkeyGames

He might, Mr. P... I remember going to the Havasu reservation with my aunt when I was three. But if he does I'm sure it will be with a clinical perspective, knowing my boy.

6:07 am

nancethefan

maybe i can fly them in on a stealth

6:07 am

kje

any real risk to tick bites? any rashes? any joint swelling? - that is typical lymes by 6 weeks out

6:08 am

mrpresident

doctors either give too much bad news, or not enough information... it IS a guessing game for most... I believe they guess for 95%

6:08 am

kje

I remember crying and screaming for hours cuz I thought I was going to get a shot when I was 4 - turned out to be an oral booster - LOL - put my mom through hell

6:09 am

MonkeyGames

OK, kje, although we have the highest rate of infected ticks in this hemishere I do not know a lot about the clinical poresentation. No rash, but 20% don't get it. Joints by 6 weeks? Fine then, he has no joint pain. I rest reassured. I think I'll ring the doctor tomorrow during his phone-in hour. Just to discuss what he'd like to see in a recovery rate.

6:09 am

kje

and I was quite embarrassed as well

6:09 am

nancethefan

who is ill mr p?

6:09 am

MonkeyGames

My son, Na5, but he's getting better. I just worry too much.

6:10 am

mrpresident

monkey... what is he experiencing right now??

6:10 am

MonkeyGames

Great story, kje! You poor kid, and your poor mom...

6:10 am

nancethefan

i hope he continues to improve - i'll say a prayer

6:10 am

kje

MG - I say this with love - but stop reading the internet for now - you are going to freak yourself out!!!! go see your doc and let him/her know your concern and let them do their job - you will drive yourself crazy

6:10 am

MonkeyGames

Now he still complains about the sore throat, he tires very easily, he's grumpy, and he's pale.

6:11 am

MonkeyGames

Well, OK, but I am good at it. Most doctors hate people who look online but I used tow ork for vets and I CAN research responsibly.... Let me tell you a funny story.

6:11 am

mrpresident

that is just like my daughter... I took her off all foods, and started her again.
start with pear and apple

6:11 am

mrpresident

you must not discount something in the environment

6:11 am

MonkeyGames

I'll look into it, Mr. P.

6:12 am

mrpresident

get pillows that are allergen free and dust mite covers... vacuum the room every day... I kid you not

6:12 am

kje

no - I do not hate informed patients - I generally love them! but being inforned about what you know you have is very different than worrying - I just hate to see you worrying so much

6:12 am

mrpresident

my daughter and my nephew are allergic to dustmites and suffer badly... flu like symptoms, tired and very sore joints

6:14 am

MonkeyGames

I will try that, mr P. And I try not to, kje. Tell you something else in a minute... The funny story-- I took every "symptom" that had been bugging me. You know, the stuff that's "wrong with" everyone over 35. Occasional stiff knee, blurry right eye (have glasses now), periodic fatigue, you know, all the little stuff, and entered it into a symptoms check page just for fun. Turns out I have Gulf War Syndrome. Hee hee!

6:14 am

kje

go back and see your doc... let them know his history as it developed and progressed (over 90% of diagnosis are known after a thorough history) and do a complete exam, and order testing as needed... let them worry, it is their job : )

6:15 am

nancethefan

kje?

6:15 am

kje

LOLOL MG - exactly! in med school we call it second year syndrome... when the students are learning pathology and think they have every disease the y study... everyone has some kind of minor symptomatology all the time

6:15 am

nancethefan

is 40mg of prozac enough to battle depression after several years of being on it?

6:15 am

nancethefan

you need to hang your shingle in here - lol

6:16 am

mrpresident

nance, 40 gm is 2 tablets a day?

6:16 am

MonkeyGames

I know I worry too much about Walter. It might come from him having a collapsed lung at 1 day old.... That was a harrowing time. I do not let it make me overprotective, though. He's a boy, they need to skin knees and get their hands dirty. As for a history, I did bring in a carefully formulated chart with timelines and treatments and the like, which the doctor kept. I'll ring him today or tomorrow.

6:16 am

MonkeyGames

I also used to groom dogs for a living. The feeling of ticks and fleas crawling all over one WHEN THEY ARE NOT THERE can take days to go away.

6:16 am

nancethefan

i was taking two 20's but my new doctor i got when i moved back here put me on one 40 in the morning

6:16 am

kje

dose is not the same for everyone - some require more, some less... if you do not think you/someone else is adequately treated, ask for a referral to a psychiatrist

6:17 am

mrpresident

it can change... some people take 100 a day. If it is working, stay with it.
if it isn't, ask for a change in dosage or meds

6:17 am

nancethefan

instead of having my dosage increased by my family doctor?

6:18 am

MonkeyGames

Actually, I see that the doctor's phone in hour starts in 15 minutes; might just call him today. Oh no wait, he doesn't have open office Thursdays-- some sort of diabetes workshoop or something.

6:18 am

mrpresident

one 40 in the morning is ok. it is the same dosage, but for the morning... it will help you sleep

6:18 am

nancethefan

hormones work - i miss hormones

6:18 am

kje

or discuss it with your FP - but 2 years is a long time to futz around

6:19 am

nancethefan

okey dokey - thank you

6:19 am

nancethefan

email me your bill, sweetie

6:19 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry to bug you on here in your off-work time, by the way.

6:20 am

nancethefan

me, too. it's rather rude of us. sorry.

6:20 am

MonkeyGames

I started it. Sorry.

6:20 am

MonkeyGames

I'll be good now.

6:21 am

nancethefan

i will be good, also. :o)

6:21 am

kje

BTW - just FYI - I do not mind discussing general advice... but I will not give specific advice or diagnosis online - I do not think it is smart... I do not have full histories, cannot see people, do not know tests, do not know the full story of what has/hasn't been tried, etc... it makes me anxious to make assumptions with little information as I would never want to hurt anyone out of wrong assumptions... I will most often tell you to find a good doc, go back and discuss more, etc... just so you know : )

6:21 am

mrpresident

why does fencing take up all the olympic game days?? .... it must be a blody ancient sport!

6:21 am

LadyNatts

good fyi, kje

6:22 am

mamabook3

very good way to approach it kje!

6:22 am

EspritdJean

the olympics are bloody ancient mr p

6:22 am

Michnick

Hi everyone. Interesting chat. reminds me of the story of the mom who want a diagnosis of her son's rash over the phone. The doctor was quiet for a minute and then said, "Mrs. Smith does my tie match my shirt?"

6:22 am

mrpresident

but fencing???? all day everyday??? for god's (of olympiad) sake!

6:22 am

kje

I always thought fencing would be a cool sport - kinda romantic in a way

6:22 am

MonkeyGames

Of course!!!!!! I would also not rely on advice gained in such a manner. But hearing things like, "That seems typical, I wouldn't worry yet" or "That sounds odd, talk to your doctor" are very useful.

6:22 am

nancethefan

thank you kje

hi natss and mich

6:23 am

nancethefan

brb - have to check our lottery numbers

6:24 am

kje

please, I do not mean it as a rebuke or anything... I just want you to know where I come from so you don't get frustrated if I always say... talk to a doctor - LOL

6:24 am

LadyNatts

I'm kinda not really here... it's 5:23 am and I am to get up to get ready for work in an hour

6:24 am

mrpresident

oh yes, swimming 24/7... same here hun

6:24 am

MonkeyGames

I suppose it would help if we were surrounded by family, but it's just us 3 on this continent.

6:24 am

Michnick

Hi MrP. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

6:24 am

MonkeyGames

Of course, kje!! Not that a rebuke would necessarily be out of order-- but I didn't see or infer one! It's good advice.

6:25 am

mrpresident

it can be so hard monkey... is great to talk to people about it... to get some form of help

6:25 am

kje

it is scary to be alone

6:25 am

Hiya peeps

mrpresident

mich, I don't think you offended?? did you fa4?? LOL

6:25 am

mrpresident

hi movieman :))

LOL mrp - such a lil monkey remark!!!

6:25 am

hi movie

6:25 am

Michnick

Monkey, where are you from? I am alslo far away from family but my friends have grown to be a replacement family. (My mother in law & sister in law moved here not long ago but I don't think that helps...)

6:26 am

movieman

Anyone got the 8 and 9 yet?

6:26 am

MonkeyGames

I'm just getting wussy about it. I'll buck up. Maybe it's because Danny's gone for 4 days and Walter's angry about it.

6:26 am

mrpresident

I always wish I had a mum when I was first with little kids... would have been easier (in my mind) if I had had family

6:26 am

Michnick

Cute Mr.P If I did fa4 I wouldn't admit it!

6:26 am

mrpresident

movie, it is ta8 and 9... a herb.... cryptic clue is tara has left

6:27 am

MonkeyGames

Mich, I am from California. We have been living in the Netherlands for 15 years. Two years agow e moved cities, and our good friends are too busy to see much. Bu tI'm starting to make some new friends.

6:27 am

kje

I agree mrp - it amazes me how families make it without relatives nearby!

6:27 am

mrpresident

oh I would! I would never let a good fa4 go to anyone else's credit!

6:27 am

movieman

danke, mrp

6:27 am

my parents help out my siblings a lot with their kids

6:27 am

OK, now, for the record, my mother here would be a downright fiasco...

6:27 am

But a family group of nearly any kind would be nice.

6:27 am

mrpresident

yw movie!

6:27 am

kje

ooo - one of my favorite herbs!!! TY

6:28 am

Michnick

Wow Mr.P thanks for the 8 & 9, I'm surprised I missed those - love ta8!

6:28 am

monkey, you wait... having your kids growing up and being close to you is going to ROCK!!

6:28 am

LadyNatts

did you know starwars doesn't work?

6:28 am

kje

wait - that herb isn't here....

6:28 am

mrpresident

ta8 is soooooo nice with chicken/garlic/brandy

6:28 am

kje

oh - there it is!!!

6:29 am

mrpresident

so is kje!

6:29 am

Michnick

It's hard to be alone. We're in the same house for 19 yrs and I didn't want to move when we had to. I was lucky - my next door neighbor decided to move so now we are in a double apartment!

6:29 am

kje

I make a linguine with clam sauce and fresh herbs loaded with tarragon, parsley, chervil... OMG!!! I am salivating

6:29 am

MonkeyGames

It's one reason I keep taking Walter to daycare when I'm at home during the summer, and I'm glad he starts school next month: more and more varied friends for him, what with the lack of cousins and all. I hope we get the chance to think about another one, maybe, but I'll be 40 when I get my degree and will have to work a bit before we could even think about it... but a brother or sister forwhen we're gone could be good for him.

6:29 am

mrpresident

oh kje!!! sin bin for you!!!!

6:30 am

Uh Oh! KJE to the penalty box!

6:31 am

MonkeyGames

'S okay. I sais the na4 bread earlier.

6:31 am

Yes Monkey I know what you mean. Your circle will iopen up a lot when you have a kid in school. My youngest was born when I was 39.

6:31 am

He'll be 4 next month.

6:31 am

They start public school the day after their 4th birthdays here.

6:32 am

rough age for dh to be gone...even just for 4 days

6:32 am

our kids go to school as long as they are turning 5 before 31st May

6:32 am

the day after? do they school year round?

6:32 am

Gotta check something in the oven. BRB

thanks kje.. i need a good idea for dinner tonight. I'll check it out

6:33 am

mrpresident

how is working unpaid allowed??

6:34 am

MonkeyGames

School is not year round; the idea is, if they start late in the year, they will repeat that year with an advantage, and still be starting when they would have if they had waited until the September after they turned 4. Walter being a September baby will make him one of the youngest, and he should not have to repeat the year.

6:34 am

MonkeyGames

This kind of apprenticeship/internship is considered a form of volunteer work, and furthermore where I work is a volunteer non-profit organization.

6:34 am

mamabook3

interesting thought

6:35 am

mrpresident

that is bullshit... sorry, but that is wrong!!
to work for nothing is crap unless it is volunteer work

6:35 am

mamabook3

mrp - teachers are required to "student teach" for a semester (in the USA) and don't get paid... actually have to pay college tuition to do it

6:35 am

kje

not uncommon - many college kids do externships in the field they choose for no pay

6:36 am

MonkeyGames

It was all I could find. The entire city was flooded with social work students simultaneously looking for internship positions. Afetr Walter settles in at school I will be hunting for something paid and relevant enough to count dfor school.

6:36 am

mrpresident

that is just wrong.... we have the same, but they get paid

6:36 am

LadyNatts

Doctor, doctor... I think I have a spider bite.... almost 2 weeks ago, I felt a welt behind my knee. Within a day it turned into a nasty, large bruise (palm sized). It still hasn't faded.

it's considered on the job training..and in my opinion, it was well worth the time and effort.. learned alot of things that text books and theory couldn't have prepared me for

6:37 am

kje

lady - go see a doctor : )

6:37 am

mrpresident

it is slave labour

6:37 am

LadyNatts

lol... how did I know you were going to say that?

6:37 am

kje

historical though mrp - think of apprentices

6:37 am

MonkeyGames

This internship is required: the school does a learn-at-work program with one day a week of pure theory. We get assignments from school to carry out at work: reports, investigations, interviews, client guidance plans, etc.

6:38 am

mrpresident

no pay = slave labour

6:38 am

MonkeyGames

I get a stipend; about 35 Euros a month. But they don't have to give it to me.

6:38 am

MonkeyGames

But they do.

6:38 am

kje

what is that pic, lady, looks scrumptious!

6:39 am

mrpresident

apprentices get paid in this country... and they study at the same time

6:39 am

kje

when I was an intern - we once calculated that once you considered how many hours we worked weekly, we were making about 96 cents/hour! LOL

That does happen here too but al the good places got snapped up by the Masters Degree students.

6:39 am

mrpresident

I do not agree with taking people for granted... if they are studying, they are worth being paid.

6:40 am

kje

they ARE getting something mrp - they are getting an education!

6:40 am

MonkeyGames

Have to agree. Have to carry on regardless!

6:40 am

mrpresident

no kje... they are being used

6:40 am

kje

and employees are treated differently than trainees - often beneficial not to be a regular employee

6:41 am

MonkeyGames

Not where I work.... taught myself all last year, and came out with a portfolio a bit ahead of most of the others due to being able to do whatever I wanted to get the assignments done.

6:41 am

mrpresident

if you have to pay for an education.... which I assume you have to pay alot for.... you should get paid for working too

6:41 am

mamabook3

and the education/experience will pay off in the long run (for most)

6:41 am

mrpresident

no kje... they are being used

6:41 am

mrpresident

oh what a brainwash

6:41 am

MonkeyGames

I'm learning a great deal about self-sufficiency...

6:42 am

kje

no, I do see your point mrp - just think it is complex

6:42 am

kje

lady - where was that meal?

6:42 am

MonkeyGames

Didn't mean to start an argument...

6:42 am

mamabook3

MG - feels good to be self sufficient, doesn't it? Even if it isn't easy

6:43 am

MonkeyGames

Someone clue the so6/18 that is not used in submarines?

6:43 am

LadyNatts

kje - in KL... Kuala Lumpur ... at the Pan Pacific hotel

6:43 am

mrpresident

it is complex - you get no money for the work you do, yet you study and pay a shit load of money to do so... doesn't seem right or humane to me

6:43 am

kje

no argument - just a discussion - it is interesting to see how different culture handle similar situations

6:43 am

MonkeyGames

It'd feel better if my increasingly weird boss wasn't around while I was doing it.

6:43 am

mamabook3

MrP - I see your point too... just always playing the devil's advocate... complicated issue

6:44 am

LadyNatts

I need to sleep a little more... I'll be back when I get home from work

6:44 am

kje

bye lady!

6:44 am

mamabook3

bye Lady - -have a good day

6:44 am

MonkeyGames

Everyone else quit. I need somewhere that will work with the weird hours I'll need when Walter starts school. Later after a couple of months I'll up his daycare again but at first I want him to ease into it and have a good time with my full support.

6:44 am

MonkeyGames

Bye Lady!

6:44 am

mrpresident

ok... but you all pay soooooo much for education.
it is a humiliating thing that you work for nothing on top of it

6:45 am

LadyNatts

bye bye... have a great day/evening everyone!

6:45 am

mrpresident

bye natts :))

6:45 am

MonkeyGames

I only have 204 more hours, then I don't have to.

6:45 am

mrpresident

I consider myself lucky that we get paid to work, weather we are studying or not

6:45 am

nDanLia

in the old days [believe it or not, before any of us], apprentices paid for the apprenticeship & were not paid per say, other than food lodging; i think the idea of free labor is a holdover from that

6:46 am

kje

I never worked for nothing... just pittance when considering how much time is given to it

6:46 am

mamabook3

MG - makes me think you are a good parent... Walter is lucky for your support

6:46 am

kje

in Denmark, they get paid to go to school - salaried while in college - now that is sweet!

6:46 am

EspritdJean

since when is "wang" not a word?

6:46 am

MonkeyGames

I once worked for parrots and snakes... I mean they were my pay, notmy bosses.

6:47 am

MonkeyGames

Awww shucks, mama, thanks.

6:47 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, wang and bogart should be ok.

6:47 am

mamabook3

What did you do with parrots and snakes??

6:47 am

kje

use it in a sentence jean...

6:47 am

MonkeyGames

Bogart is a verb, after all.

6:47 am

mrpresident

we get paid to go to University. We get lodging, food etc... and then we get good pay to go to a job!! They pay for people being educated here

6:47 am

EspritdJean

I wish my boyfriend had a bigger wang

6:47 am

kje

LOLOL - OMG!!!

6:47 am

EspritdJean

that would be, if I HAD a bf

6:47 am

mrpresident

jean, you are close, extend that wang

6:47 am

MonkeyGames

I worked for an exotic pet store, and collected some of the critters for home petdom.

6:48 am

6:50 am

Reminds me of a story I heard whatzizname from the x files tell on Letterman last night.

MonkeyGames

His 4 year old was stung on th epenis by a bee, and after he felt better he kept going up to strangers, especially women, pulling his pants down, and saying, "Look how big my penis is". It was swollen, you se.

6:51 am

mrpresident

just so you know... I have finished CRITIZING your government for their inhumane of making people work for nothing...
I live in a lucky country I guess
I don't like to see people doing work for nothing and hoping they get something.

6:52 am

MonkeyGames

Criticize away! Balkenende sucks!

6:52 am

kje

LOL MG - how mortifying for the parents!

6:52 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, so he implied, but he still told it on Letterman...

6:52 am

kje

but how did a bee get there?

6:52 am

mamabook3

OMG... my 5 year old would do that... how funny

6:52 am

EspritdJean

he prob put it there, you know how guys are

6:53 am

kje

well - it is funny - and something only a 4 year old can get away with!

6:53 am

mrpresident

is that Tia Leoni and David Duchovney?? omg!! how darn embarrassing would that be!!

6:53 am

MonkeyGames

I missed the beginning, but did catch an implication of a wading pool. Probably running around nekkid like Walter does all summer.

6:53 am

kje

he is 4 jeanius!

6:53 am

dan2bit

yeah that doesn't work too well for me

6:53 am

peeing outside... it's a fascination for my boys

6:53 am

hillary

clue for second st 6 please, the one following what the bee did?

6:53 am

EspritdJean

still a guy

6:54 am

kje

oh yes, peeing outside - of course - probably peed into a flower bed and scared the bugger

6:54 am

mrpresident

plural it hillary

6:54 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, we had a phase where Walter wanted to pee on every tree we passed. I finally told him if he really had to pee every 40 seconds we were going to the doctor.

6:54 am

hillary

thanks mr pres, never would have thought of that

6:54 am

mrpresident

sokay... darn st/7 grid

6:55 am

mamabook3

odd...

6:55 am

kje

no dan2 - for you... you'd end up in jail and on the nightly news

6:55 am

EspritdJean

how do you explain a persoal injury suit against a vacuum cleaner company by the guy who got his wang caught in the hose?

6:55 am

EspritdJean

claimed he was house cleaning naked

6:55 am

kje

he isn't really suing???

6:55 am

mrpresident

there was no warning for putting your appendages near the hose??

6:55 am

MonkeyGames

A friend of my mother's when I was a child tore his right OFF... reattachment went well and he had the sense not to sue the cleaner company.

6:56 am

EspritdJean

yes, but this is an old case

6:56 am

hillary

can anyone clue the sa 6 after the pudding?

6:56 am

EspritdJean

see!

6:56 am

MonkeyGames

He wanted to see what it felt like.

6:56 am

MonkeyGames

No, what pudding? Looking...

6:56 am

kje

OK - one more reason I am glad I am not afflicted with that appendage : )

6:56 am

EspritdJean

he probably cringes if anyone ever says "my girlfriend sucks like a Hoover"

6:56 am

mamabook3

my boys (twins) are horrible about it... they will pull it out and wizz anywhere... it's getting to be embarrassing...

6:57 am

6:57 am

MonkeyGames

In Berkeley this summer, my uncle taught Walter to pee on the garden edges.... Now he does not understand why he can't do that on our deck.

6:58 am

kje

the uncle and sister should be whacked!

6:58 am

mamabook3

when i complained, she said it was payback for all the rotten things I've taught her children... ugh!

6:58 am

MonkeyGames

Walter needs to learn that different people and different places have different rules.

6:58 am

EspritdJean

or peed on

mrpresident

7:10 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. I keep having worry-wort fits and bothering kje though. He still has "down days" bu tthe trend is better and better.

7:12 am

Anniebrook

I dont know about that, mrp...but he did cheat on his wife, girl claimed she was raped (big case here a while back) and his wife got an enormous diamond ring as a gift from him instead of a divorce...to each his own, would you say?

7:12 am

mrpresident

ah, sounds like a real gem

Look, Herin bought me pro!

MG, I went through the same thing with my daughter when she was a child...drove myself crazy but I saw it through and it turned out to be a virus. Tell your fears to the doctor.

7:13 am

Scrabbler

I am back from my vacation in the mountains. It was glorious and magical--kayaking, hiking, swimming naked....

7:13 am

mrpresident

I thought you looked different monkey!! yesterday you were proless!!

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Wow, MG, you are a pro now!

7:14 am

Scrabbler

So how is little Walter?

7:14 am

mrpresident

kayaking and hiking naked would be considered a dangerous sport too scrabs!! LOL

7:14 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, welcome back!

7:15 am

MonkeyGames

Saw our own doctor Tuesday, with Walter. He said that we must just assume it's "one of those viruses". Test for mono was neg, and Walter's throat looks better but still hurts, and he's still pale and tiring easily and is pale. But the trend is better and better... although today I wasn't too happy with his condition when I left him at daycare, but he's also mad and moody about his dad going on a trip.

7:15 am

mamabook3

what word was kobe clueing?

7:15 am

mrpresident

I might have to go sleep now.
apologies to those US people whom I offended tonight.

Hi Dorens!

Hi Doren.

7:18 am

MonkeyGames

I just hope he doesn't relapse and wonder if this slow a recovery is normal, but I worry too much. Just been abusing kje mercilessly; she's been very nice about it. I'll probably ring th doc tomorrow during his phone in hour just to check in about it.

7:19 am

MonkeyGames

My husband was wondering if you and kje meeting in person would cancel you both out or if you'd equalize to one general practitioner... given your respective specialties.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Well now that I am back from vacation you may abuse me mercilessly, MG.

7:20 am

kje

no abuse

7:20 am

MonkeyGames

Heehee! I will try not to. But I appreciate it.

7:20 am

yah, i was just about to say, dr. scrabs is in full effect here. and it is her specialty.

7:20 am

7:21 am

MonkeyGames

OK, good. They did, says my doctor, a whole lot with sed rates and all that in the panel and it all came out normal.

7:22 am

Scrabbler

I didn't go too far on the trail when naked--just to search for fire wood. We did startle some hikers passing by, but that made their vacation better with a funny story to share.

7:22 am

kje

LOL scrab!!!

7:22 am

MonkeyGames

Should've shuffled around making hooting noises and throwing leaves, really given them something to think about.

7:22 am

kje

I never thought of you as a nude hiker - this is priceless!

7:22 am

Dorens

bet they'll tell that one for years

7:24 am

Scrabbler

We would kayak around the lake, find a nice spot to pull in (there are a few camp sites on the lake), make a fire, swim, warm up next to the fire, read books, play Travel Scrabble...we even cooked breakfast twice---pancakes, eggs, potatoes, coffee--it was fun!!

7:24 am

MonkeyGames

Oh Scrabbs, you missed my Back Incident... What with Walter being so ill I carried him everywhere on my shoulders. Four days ago I bent ovre to put soap in the dishwasher and could not stand back up. My doctor says it's burely muscular though... but ouch.

7:25 am

MonkeyGames

Sounds really fun Scrabbs!

7:25 am

Dorens

sounds terrific

7:25 am

7:27 am

Scrabbler

They were tattoed guys with bimbo chicks, all sucking down beers and smoking.

7:28 am

Dorens

just your type, scrabs

7:28 am

Scrabbler

A few years ago we sat down for dinner at the lodge and the waitress handed us a note that read: When is the next showing of the lake sirens?

We were in the Adirondacks, missbeeze.

7:31 am

7:32 am

kje--I have to make rounds this AM--we have a baby with DiGeorge Syndrome--congenital heart disease, no thymus, calcium issues, overall train wreck.

7:32 am

7:34 am

kje

no no no - ASK bee : )

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it is always devastating when a newborn has complications, especially serious ones.

7:35 am

kje

docs didn't tell parents right away cuz wanted to know full extent and do testing... but was pretty clear

7:35 am

kje

and cyprus is not US - testing took forever!

7:35 am

kje

Scrab - they had 1 MRI on the entire island

7:36 am

missbeeze

oh ok - i'll ask!

7:36 am

kje

will catch youover there sometime and help you bee

7:37 am

kje

but general rule is not to steel cards your friends need from them... usually people post below the pack what is up for grabs... rats on the other hand are fair game

7:38 am

Scrabbler

When I was a country doc, my first 6 1/2 yrs after residency, I was called to the community hospital to see an Amish newborn with birth defects and he had Trisomy 18. The parents said, "We will take him home with our family and keep him comfortable." He died 8 days later.

7:38 am

7:41 am

Great story, mama!

7:43 am

Walter was not premature, so he was born here at home, but the midwife was enough on the ball to think he should be looked at so we were already at the hospital when hisproblems started.

7:43 am

the NICU is amazing.. and the dr's and nurses there are even more amazing... i don't know how anyone could do that day in/day out... but PTL there are people who are blessed with that talent!

7:44 am

Mom

Hi Monkey Games, congrats on going PRO

7:44 am

Mom

{{KJE}} hello

7:44 am

kje

yum! I wish mom lived near me - I need someone to make me breakfast everyday : )

7:44 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! I am quite honestly too broke for it, so Herin insisted on buying me a proship! Isn't that sweet?

7:45 am

Mom

I would love too, KJE. Since the boys have moved :( I only have my sweetie to make breakfast for.

7:45 am

Mom

Yes, Monkey, very sweet of Herin.

7:45 am

kje

I am sure sweetie appreciates it: )

7:45 am

MonkeyGames

Or come here... Walter has strawberry pancakes every morning at the moment.

7:45 am

mamabook3

Our NICU's parent support could be better... but I've looked into ways to improve that

7:46 am

Mom

he does. He is a real sweetheart

7:46 am

mamabook3

I'll say it again...Walter is very very lucky! LOL!

7:47 am

kje

yes mama - it seems most parents that go through that stay involved with their nicu's - at least here at the academic hospital - it makes it better for new parents having that support, and makes the nicu better too

7:47 am

MonkeyGames

They're not so hard... Dutch pancakes don't need to rise, and i JUST REPLACE SOME OF THE MILK WITH ORGANIC STRAWBERRY YOGHURT.

7:47 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry capslock issue!

7:47 am

kje

OK hungry - BRB

7:48 am

mamabook3

kje - do any of the nurses have a problem with it? I've found that they are the biggest obsticle

7:48 am

kje

I do have a melon mom, so will go cut some, but no eggs and juice : (

7:48 am

kje

varies

7:49 am

kje

the hardest ethics consult I ever had to do was a nicu consult - the nurses get so invlolved and can sometimes feel they love that kid more than the parents... it is understandable why, but still wanted to bonk them!

7:50 am

Mom

chocolate milk then, Kje

7:50 am

kje

understandable why they get so attached, I mean

7:50 am

kje

coffee : )

7:51 am

MonkeyGames

I had a lot of support. They made sure I was as comfoprtable as possible when I insisted on staying by Walter all day, and they brought me a breast pump and a privacy screen. The chairs were awful, though-- I stood up for most of the week after I had Walter.

7:51 am

mamabook3

i definately see that... it's a rough line to tow... you want the nurses to care for the babies so that they give them that little extra... but it can be really hard when they get too attached... i could never do it!

7:51 am

Mom

ok, coffee :)

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Mom!

7:52 am

Mom

Hi Scrabbler. How was your vacation?

7:52 am

MonkeyGames

28 left and like pulling impacted molars...

7:53 am

kje

mom - sit down for this.... scrab spent her ENTIRE vacation naked

7:53 am

mamabook3

our NICU sees alot of young (teenage) mothers who are too intimidated to jump in, and the nurses don't really have time to "hold their hands" so the parents come off as uncaring... when they really just need encouraged.... it's one of those aweful circular problems

7:53 am

Mom

:), at least she doesn't have any laundry to do. I hope there wasn't any sunburn

7:54 am

mamabook3

anyways, working to find solutions to make it easier for everyone...

7:54 am

kje

yes... the medical team can forget sometimes that it is an intimidating arena... they get so use to it as they do it aily, but for parents, it is overwhelming... and lack of participation is not lack of caring, they are just overwhelmed

7:55 am

kje

daily

7:55 am

MonkeyGames

I can see how that could happen. I was appalled at how few parents actually stayed in at my hospital; most would drop in for half an hour twice a day. I had to be hustled into a wheelchair and removed when they saw me getting too tired! We also had near-daily visits in our rooms from social workers. That was very nice.

7:55 am

godthaab

BO 5 but not agogo?!

7:55 am

mamabook3

MG - I'm pulling teeth with 78 words to go... so you are doing great!!

7:55 am

MonkeyGames

They would ask if we were comfortable or needed anything, arrange counselling for those who needed it, just talk, etc.

7:55 am

MonkeyGames

No bogart, either, godt.

7:56 am

godthaab

Rats!

7:56 am

godthaab

Sorry!

7:56 am

MonkeyGames

No, THAT's there! PB for you!

7:56 am

Anniebrook

>>>>>>>>off to the PB, god

7:57 am

godthaab

AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!

7:57 am

kje

LOL

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Vacation was glorious, Mom--kayaking, hiking, swimming naked....my head is still there.

7:57 am

Anniebrook

there's hot chocolate in the PB and Mom has made scrabled eggs*

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi godthaab

7:57 am

mamabook3

MG - It's such an emotional rollercoaster for parents (as you know) and sometimes parents retreat... especially when they aren't being involved in the baby's care... it's easy to feel like you are just in the way

7:57 am

Mom

I am glad you had a great time

7:58 am

kje

not just swimming, scrab, be honest... she was flashing tourists, mom

7:58 am

kje

I think she needs a time-out

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Swimming naked within the glory of the Adirondack Mtns is natural.

7:59 am

MonkeyGames

I know. I just found that in case this was all the time with him I would have I wanted to be there Every Second. There was another lady like that too, but she had to be wheeled in on her bed with tubes and all-- she'd had a nasty emergency c section.

7:59 am

Mom

lol

8:00 am

mamabook3

Oh I was the same way... I would have been there 24/7 if it hadn't been for my daughter (2 1/2 years old). I'm just thankful that part my life is over! I don't think I could do it again!

8:01 am

MonkeyGames

I know I never want to find out if I could...

8:02 am

MonkeyGames

Walter's present from Sprite just arrived! That'll cheer him up when he gets home. She had an old rench Knitting set she wasn't using and asked if he'd like it.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, I need to have breakfast and head off to the children's hospital for rounds--2 babies to see. One of them is in the NICU--29 weeker with birth weight of 570 grams.

8:03 am

MonkeyGames

Wow, that's small! Have a good day and kiss the babies for me!

8:03 am

Mom

take care Scrabbler. Glad you are back safely from your trip. Give the babies a hug for me.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Bye kids! Enjoy the day.

8:03 am

Angelsong

hi, all. I do not believe this. I got all of the S words with no clues/lists at all.

8:03 am

God bless, Scrab. Hope your day goes well

8:03 am

Mom

10:09 am

Judi

I thought a palindrome was a whole sentence?

wvteach

10:10 am

wvteach

a palindrome can be numbers or words or sentences or whole paragraphs

Ata when you say "working" do you mean you do trials with him?

10:21 am

Judi

My icon is a picture of a fox. Just plucked it off the internet. We do have a husky, though. And two cats.

10:21 am

rururocks

hunting?

10:21 am

Atalante

dear husband has given me 2 choices for today. either stay near here and go whale watching (in 98F heat) or drive 6 hours to Crater Lake and stay there overnight and come back over this way tomorrow. Joy

10:21 am

FMitch

Hobbit is a lady through and through unless she has been rolling in dead fish :)

10:21 am

FMitch

I would come up with an option 3 rapidly Ata!

10:21 am

rururocks

Where do you live ata?

10:22 am

Judi

Ata - compromise. Take a helicopter ride to crater lake and go swimming when you get there.

10:22 am

Atalante

I don't actually work with her, we didn't get her as a puppy so she's never had the proper training. she's darn good at rabbiting though! but if I get another working cocker at any point, from a pup, then I will train them and work them

10:22 am

harpjane

crater lake would be cooler, but rather touristy right now i would think

10:22 am

sandyloo

Ah Mr Brer Fox eats my chickens if I don't lock them up!! We have 2 Jack Russels, a cow, a border collie, 12 chooks, 1 cat and a horse

10:22 am

harpjane

lol, or look for whales at Crater Lake?

10:22 am

Atalante

right down in the south tip of England

10:22 am

kje

now that would be a productive day harp : )

10:23 am

Atalante

ah yes, those well known crater lake whales :)

10:23 am

FMitch

Thats quite a menagerie sandy

10:23 am

rururocks

there is a crater lake in england?

10:23 am

Atalante

harp, will crater lake literally be *packed* with tourists?

10:23 am

sandyloo

It is and that's not counting the humans

10:23 am

Atalante

10:55 am

Uniquity

Bonjour Miss Americana! How is the ole US of A?

10:56 am

Atalante

good good!

10:57 am

Atalante

we are trying to decide what to do today. or will be, if husbnad ever wakes up

10:58 am

Uniquity

...You could try being a Canadian!

10:58 am

Atalante

we've had tha discussion. husband wanted to drive to Banff for the day

10:59 am

Uniquity

How easy is that to do? Just pop on up and back on a UK passport?

11:00 am

Atalante

easy as anything, if you want to drive several thousand miles!

11:00 am

sandyloo

ok Goodnight everyone have a nice day!!

11:00 am

Uniquity

Who doesn't want that? I just drove a few hundred km...nearly the same thing. *smiling*

11:01 am

kje

it is sometimes hard for people from europe to imagine the distnaces in the US and Canada between places

11:01 am

Atalante

I looooove spending my holiday driving. all day. all night.

11:01 am

kje

I once had a spnish friend that asked about going to boston for the day from DC - yes, it does look close on a map... but no it is not : 0

11:02 am

MonkeyGames

Hi again briefly! Kje, all my histrionics were aparrently over the top... Walter had a great day at daycare, has color in his face again, and they said he was MUCH more himself today.

11:02 am

Uniquity

We're right next door...ish

11:02 am

Atalante

anyway. I managed to persuade husband that Banff wasn't possible. H enow wants Crater Lake instead. Only 6 hours each way

11:02 am

joshuavorbis

aaaaaaaand BOOM, CRASH, CRACKLE, SWOOSH, POP

11:02 am

Uniquity

Histrionics? Never...

11:02 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, I was quite overwrought.

11:02 am

Uniquity

Sounds like you need more holiday, darling

11:03 am

kje

11:03 am

MonkeyGames

Kje was very nice about it.

11:03 am

kje

ata - that wll not be relaxing!

11:03 am

joshuavorbis

11:03 am

kje

11:03 am

Atalante

I'll have more holiday when husband returns to England and I get back to my friends for 3 weeks!

11:04 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes! Sn5/12 and 6/21 please!

11:04 am

Uniquity

I have been wrangling children for 10 years or so on a serious basis. If there is anything I have learned, I am not prone to histrionics!

11:04 am

joshuavorbis

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

11:06 am

11:06 am

Atalante

he goes home on saturday

11:06 am

harpjane

crater lake is worth the effort, it's not really on the way to anything. try to spend a day there

11:07 am

harpjane

get a room somewhere

11:07 am

harpjane

i took a 10 hour detour on a road trip to see crater lake, spent about 3 hours there and never regretted it

11:07 am

Atalante

ok. we would prolly leave here around noon, get down there whenever. stay there tomorrow morning and come back up to the coast in the afternoon. IF we can find a room down there!

11:08 am

kje

ra 5/12? what am I missing?

11:08 am

MonkeyGames

11:16 am

missbeeze

beg and stuff!

11:17 am

Atalante

husband Says So

11:17 am

Atalante

well if its really going to be 98F all day, sitting in an aircon car through the worst might be quite nice!!

11:18 am

missbeeze

way to look on the bright side :)

11:19 am

Atalante

might as well. missing whale watching sucks. but apparently we've done enough pootling around tide pools and marine bio stuff this week (I'm a marine biologist by training)

11:19 am

vjr

ooh, i wanted to be a marine biologist in highschool

11:20 am

vjr

i even had an internship at the univ of miami arine science school, so coll

11:20 am

MonkeyGames

OK, must dispense raspberry juice and make dinner. Back after kiddie bedtime for my last 13.

11:20 am

missbeeze

perhaps you will find time to whale watch with your friend - i wanted to be a marine bioligist also, but became a SW instead

11:20 am

vjr

i'm still a sucker for discovery shows about the ocean

11:20 am

missbeeze

oooh me to vjr -

11:20 am

Atalante

a SW?

11:21 am

missbeeze

a social worker - that is my degree, but i don't do that anymore

11:21 am

missbeeze

lol

11:21 am

missbeeze

too*

11:22 am

Atalante

what do you do now??

11:23 am

missbeeze

now i am a freight broker/transportation broker

11:23 am

missbeeze

i just noticed you changed your flag ;)

11:24 am

missbeeze

I am the GM of the branch of my company in this region

11:24 am

periwinkle

hi all

11:24 am

Atalante

oh cool! one of my friends back home does that

11:25 am

missbeeze

it is fun, but at this time in economy, quite challenging

11:25 am

missbeeze

that is cool!

11:25 am

sandr

need a clue for the so 7/32 and the so 6/18 please , thanks

11:25 am

vjr

hello peri

11:25 am

periwinkle

missbreeze, I was a social worker for over 20 years. still need to work but don't want to do social work. how did you change from one field to another?

11:26 am

missbeeze

it was a big decision - i knew once i left the field, it would be almost impossible to go back to SW, so i had to consider it before leaving....

11:26 am

missbeeze

once i made that decision, i had an in with transportation as my parents both worked at a transportation giant, and knew of a brokerage

11:26 am

sandr

its alright i have them now

11:27 am

periwinkle

yes, it always helps to know what you want to do and to know the right people.

11:28 am

missbeeze

it was lucky and i have enjoyed it a great deal. it is hard to transition into or out of the field as it is so focused and specialized - people tend to be short sighted and think that is all you are capable of

11:28 am

periwinkle

do you like what you do now, missb?

11:28 am

periwinkle

you answered :-) very true people tend to pigeon hole you

11:29 am

missbeeze

i do, although things are very tough for this industry with diesel/petro fuel being so outrageous all over the world and economy being so unpredictable

11:29 am

Atalante

ok, I have to go. Be back after the epic trip to Crater Lake!!

11:29 am

missbeeze

shippers/producers are tentative to produce anything and things are slow - customers are hesitant to allow prices to rise to get the freight shipped

11:30 am

missbeeze

bye Ata! make the best of it! you will make it fun!

11:30 am

missbeeze

companies are going out of business daily - especially trucking companies that i use to get the freight moved. it is sad.

11:31 am

periwinkle

have fun Ata

11:31 am

missbeeze

that is right - where did you practice SW?

11:31 am

periwinkle

PA

11:32 am

periwinkle

medical social work. also a Reiki master/practitioner but no clients at the moment.

11:32 am

missbeeze

and what caused you to leave the field peri?

11:32 am

missbeeze

i was just reading that on your profile!

11:33 am

missbeeze

tell me about Reiki

11:33 am

periwinkle

very frustrating working with insurance companies and getting things done in a timely manner. patients being discharge before they are really ready, etc

11:33 am

missbeeze

i know - i worked for Child protective Svcs and same game - cases closed daily with risk - i couldn't do it for fear a child would die

11:34 am

periwinkle

patients being admited to an acute Rehab (not drug rehab) who would have been more appropriate for skilled nursing/nursing home placement

11:34 am

periwinkle

how long were you a SW?

11:34 am

periwinkle

missbreeze, you can e-mail me if you want and I can tell you about Reiki.

11:35 am

periwinkle

I will say it is a very effective method for pain relief and stress reduction.

11:35 am

missbeeze

i started work for CPS right out of college - big mistake - worked there for 4 years - which is a long time, then went to a grant funded research project for almost 3 yrs - so 7 years i guess - not long

11:35 am

nrkii

sandr, in case you're still looking for those clues...

11:36 am

nrkii

so 7 32 = male offspring + So You Think You Can D****

11:36 am

periwinkle

well, you are much younger than me, missbreeze

11:36 am

missbeeze

i would like to know more about that

11:36 am

nrkii

and so 6 18 right after is = male offspring + small insect

11:36 am

periwinkle

would still like to find something that I can do for at least a few more years to build up my retirement found

11:36 am

periwinkle

hi there nrkii

11:36 am

nrkii

hi there

11:37 am

11:44 am

periwinkle

you just said it in you message :-)

11:44 am

periwinkle

not a population I would have patience with. glad you like it

11:45 am

harpjane

it doesn't take as much patience as you think

11:46 am

periwinkle

well, it is something that I did not consider when I younger

11:46 am

harpjane

i have more trouble when the person in front of me is fumbling for change, or talking on their cell phone, than I do with people who are honestly trying their best....

11:46 am

missbeeze

i worked at a group home on weekends for a while and loved it - with adults - i never thought i would have the patience for it.

11:46 am

harpjane

now the BUREAUCRACY makes me lose patience

11:46 am

missbeeze

that is SOOOO true!

11:46 am

periwinkle

I agree about the Bureauacy

11:46 am

missbeeze

i cannot stand THAT WORD EVEN!

11:46 am

harpjane

speaking of work, i'm late....bbl

Hey kje... Walter again brought up wanting to be a doctor (it is SO winning over jogger and bus driver at the moment). I again listed teh kids of doctor one can be, and he has decided, at least for tonight, that being a doctorjust for old people like his Gate Daddy Sam is even cooler than foot doctor.

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, thanks, I think so... a very remarkable man. It has been hard watching him get so old... but as they say, better than the alternative. It was very hard losing Leslie a few years ago. They raised me; they're my real mom and dad.

1:18 pm

periwinkle

ara7 please

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

When people get upset at him needing to get by in restaurants or being confused, I just want to scream at them that here is a man with a higher IQ, a more developed intellect, and a more generous character, not to mention more talent(s), than anyone they have ever met.

1:38 pm

missbeeze

for some reason i got over the House thing

1:38 pm

MonkeyGames

It was? Gosh, wasn't meant to be!

1:38 pm

kje

I hate House

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

what?!

1:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Best written thing on TV right now (fiction, I mean), an daurie in the ri=ole is just too surreal.

1:38 pm

missbeeze

I used to like it now i can't stand - funny how that happens

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

why??

1:39 pm

missbeeze

I generally hate any fictional television

1:39 pm

MonkeyGames

You do? On the break let's get into why! I like discussing differences in aesthetic opinion.

1:39 pm

missbeeze

everything since Seinfeld i have found disappointing

1:39 pm

Uneaixoise

I didn't like this last season with the newbies . . . hoping they'll disappear . . .

1:39 pm

kje

cuz I know how fake and unreal the scenarios are... and he is an ass : )

1:39 pm

MonkeyGames

THAT WAS FOR KJE. fOR YOU, MISS, YEAH, ME TOO MOSTLY.

1:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Oops, capslock thing again.

1:40 pm

missbeeze

I can't get into any television show that is scripted

1:40 pm

sadie52

keyboard has a mind of its own sometimes

1:40 pm

kje

seinfeld was genius... but my age is showing there : )

1:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes he's an ass but I'm a sociopath so I can handle him. The scenarios... well, a team of leading diagnosticians recently said the show is very accurate-- if you compress a lifetime of cases into one week.

1:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Seinfeld was enjoyable. How old are you? I'm 39.

1:41 pm

missbeeze

pretty much watch TRU TV or Discovery and true crime stuff - kind of obsessively or reality tv :)

1:41 pm

missbeeze

Seinfeld - after that everything has been flat...

1:41 pm

MonkeyGames

For the record I do vastly prefer REAL medical mystery stories.

1:42 pm

missbeeze

I'm 34. and I believe Seinfeld was the best show ever

1:42 pm

kje

it is not accurate - what piece of advertisement have you been reading... he makes huge assumptions, runs lots of unneeded tests to build up the drama, insults his patients and trainees, flirts with his patients, among other questionable ethical issues...

1:42 pm

kje

actually, have never seen it - LOLOL

1:42 pm

kje

but I have seen enough : )

1:43 pm

kje

seinfeld was thebest show EVER!

1:43 pm

MonkeyGames

You're right of course, kje. The diagnosticians were referring ONLY to the medicine: the diagnoises and teh end results. I agree that there is NO WAY someone like that would go on acting like that and survive in a rea hospital setting. But it is fun as fiction.

1:43 pm

missbeeze

it was the first show in a long time to catch my attention that wasn't a true crime type show, but it only lasted a very short time - now i can't stand to watch it

1:44 pm

kje

can still see a rerun and laugh

1:44 pm

missbeeze

i can too kj - any Seinfeld rerun and i've seen them all over and over and i still laugh

1:44 pm

kje

the current show I like to watch is The New Adventures of Old Christine - I like her - good comedic timing

1:45 pm

kje

otherwise, I mostly do netflix... do watch some hbo series on netflix... like The Wire - that was excellent

1:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Miss, speaking of crime TV... I never watched this NCIS show. Walter and I were at a table with a very nice and interesting woman at the SFO airport a couple of months ago. Got home, thought we would check out NCIS. There she is-- Abbety the forensics lady. Turns out she actually has master's degrees in forensics and criminology-- the actress I mean.

1:45 pm

missbeeze

i've heard it is good and i like her, but i have been so disappointed with comedies for so long, that i can barely give them a chance anymore

1:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Coupling is an excellen rerun one. Can watch those forever.

1:46 pm

MonkeyGames

NHOT the f*****-up US version...

1:46 pm

kje

the british version?

1:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Indeed.

1:46 pm

kje

yes agree - the british version was cute

1:46 pm

kje

not good enough to watch again though : )

1:46 pm

missbeeze

Wow MG - that is interesting! I watched CSI a few times, but lost interest in that also

1:46 pm

sadie52

i watch ncis all the time i like that show alot

1:46 pm

missbeeze

maybe 5 times

1:47 pm

kje

and not near as clever as SATC

1:47 pm

MonkeyGames

Not CSI; I found that very boring. NCIS! IT is barely watchable! Which is saying good things as far as TV is concerned.

1:47 pm

missbeeze

i don't know what it is about fictional television

1:47 pm

MonkeyGames

SATC? Enlighten me.

1:47 pm

missbeeze

yes - that is the one i meant

1:47 pm

MonkeyGames

It is that it is basically crap, miss.

1:47 pm

kje

sex and the city... where is asgreen... she would faint that you didn't know that - LOL

1:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Could not STAND even five minutes of THAT.

1:48 pm

missbeeze

lol - that is true MG!

1:48 pm

MonkeyGames

My problem is, if I start reading during school time I wil ldo nothing else so I dare not. That leaves TV when I'm tired and don't want to start a major artwork.

1:49 pm

kje

it was hilarious... and not really about the sex... it is about the girls' relationship - classic chick flick

1:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Hmmm. Nope, so far I have HATED every character and every segment I have seen. That's matters of taste for you!

1:50 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, commercial

1:50 pm

missbeeze

i never got into that show either...hmmm

1:50 pm

MonkeyGames

over. Back with you folks in a bit.

1:50 pm

kje

and the stereotypes of men were classic ... the circus freak show... the model-daters... the bad breaker uppers...

1:51 pm

missbeeze

i feel like the writing is always predictable - the comedy is always too predictable for me - the one liners, etc.

1:51 pm

MonkeyGames

There you go... bored to tears by stereotype-exploitative TV, so it goes. *Really temporary poof*

1:53 pm

kje

asgreen!!!!! where are you? LOL I am getting beaten up here!

1:53 pm

missbeeze

lurking??

1:53 pm

kje

it's OK - that was years ago anyway

1:53 pm

kje

now only interest is the christine show... and an occasional 5th grader thing when visiting my parents

1:54 pm

kje

is she lurking?, let me check

1:54 pm

kje

no, not luring

1:54 pm

missbeeze

yes i watch that too when visiting my parents - my nephew loves that show as do my parents

1:54 pm

kje

lurking I mean

1:54 pm

missbeeze

although that rarely happens - the parent visit

1:55 pm

kje

next time you are here bee....

1:55 pm

missbeeze

yes next time

1:55 pm

missbeeze

:)

1:56 pm

missbeeze

still 31 left

1:56 pm

missbeeze

blecckk

1:59 pm

missbeeze

Ever heard of Project Access kj?

1:59 pm

kje

no, what is it?

2:00 pm

missbeeze

a grant funded research project for the indigent poor in Dallas County -

2:00 pm

missbeeze

i used to work there as a Care Coordination Manager

2:00 pm

missbeeze

Dallas County Medical Society

2:01 pm

missbeeze

the funding was drastically cut, so it may not be effective still, unfortunately

2:02 pm

kje

what did they o

2:02 pm

missbeeze

they were primarily parterned with the BHCS

2:02 pm

missbeeze

physicians provided a network of care for the working poor - like people who work at McDonalds who don't have a group medical plan

2:03 pm

missbeeze

physicians would agree to join the program as a network type provider - practitioners and specialist for the working poor living in Dallas County who qualified

2:03 pm

kje

aaahhh - I see - just googled it

2:03 pm

missbeeze

great concept

2:03 pm

kje

I work at Parkland bee - access for the poor is what I do - LOL

2:04 pm

missbeeze

Dr Jim Walton was the brainchild behind it - Baylor physician

2:04 pm

missbeeze

then you should def learn about it - it was for people who fell into the cracks i guess

2:05 pm

missbeeze

oh yes, many visits to Parkland :)

2:06 pm

kje

actually, bee, I work at UTSW, but do most of my clinical work through parkland

2:06 pm

missbeeze

It was Central Dallas Ministries partnered with the DCMS

2:07 pm

missbeeze

oh - yes - so you work with Zale Lipshy?

2:07 pm

missbeeze

isn't that part of UTSW?

2:07 pm

kje

they ahve a lot of partners apparently, including parkland and the DFW hospital networks

2:07 pm

missbeeze

i mean the hospital

2:07 pm

kje

yes, zale, st paul, parkland

2:08 pm

MonkeyGames

Miss, I am entering my third year and final of school for a Dutch Social work degree (Bachelor's). My school requires that lots of my assignments get done at the workplace. Often I need to show that I have conferred with ohers and I am also allowed to aprticipate in outside stuff for credit. I have always felt that the medical end of it would be my preference (specifically psychiatric and neurological medicine). In teh coming 6 months can I sometimes bounce ideas off you? Can I be of help? Our medical system here is quie different, fromn a social perspective. Could be good to contrast them sometiomes.

2:08 pm

missbeeze

yes - they are all linked up. Parkland is a great hospital actually - gets a bad rap sometimes, but it is really a good hospital!

2:09 pm

periwinkle

wouild someone please volunteer to find my last 30 words?

2:09 pm

periwinkle

I am tired of this grid

2:09 pm

missbeeze

i will help in any way i can MG- whatever i can do to help - i am familiar with programs here, etc, and have worked in various ones sure

2:10 pm

missbeeze

lol peri - me too!

2:10 pm

pugmama763

tr6/21 clue please? (my last T word)

2:10 pm

MonkeyGames

Me too, Peri. Hours ago. Weary of it. I have discovered that I have 12 words to go and actually don't acre.

2:10 pm

nDanLia

follow the swinging coing pug, you are in a deep tr6

2:10 pm

kje

it gets a bad rep due the population it serves and people's ignorance. The best docs in the city are likely here... and actually, I chose to be a patient here nyself in January... could have gone elsewhere in the city, but the best surgeon was here... wasn't so bad

2:11 pm

pugmama763

ty monkey & fish me please!

2:11 pm

missbeeze

same thing happened to me yesterday MG - i barely had any words left and it was like draining water from a rock to get each one

2:11 pm

pugmama763

ooops sorry TY nDAn!!!

2:11 pm

pugmama763

my eyes are going buggy from this grid!!

2:11 pm

missbeeze

i know - because of the population it serves you are right kj, but you are right that some of the best doctors are there and many people only see Parkland for it's negative reputation and fail to realize that it is a wonderful hospital

2:12 pm

nDanLia

no prob, we all blend together sometimes

2:12 pm

pugmama763

for a med. size grid it's quite the mind numbing bugger!

2:12 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks! I just thiought once in a while I might send some sort of snippet of an idea and ask, "How would an American hospital react to this sorty of presentation at the froint desk( like a schizophrenic I know who forgets her medication and had no money and usually can't remember her insurer). Easy, just a gut reaction. That kind of thing. And if you want to know how the Dutch would handle something I'd be jhappy to answer.

2:13 pm

kje

too true pugster

2:13 pm

missbeeze

oh i can do that - no problem!

2:13 pm

periwinkle

first bo5/18 please

2:13 pm

I was sent free to a showing of Sicko to participate in a debate with government ministers, social workers, and insurers about how it couls someday get that bad here.

2:13 pm

2:18 pm

SharonRA

2:18 pm

2:18 pm

sicko is interesting to stimulate discussion, but very biased and innaccurate in many areas

2:18 pm

pugmama763

2:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Sorry, Miss; zoned ouyt on TV. It was fascinating but I will have to fill you in another time... OK, folks. I have come to face that I do not care about my last 12 words and my sprained back does care about bed, so I'm going to lie flat to finish House, take the dog for her walk, and go to bed.

2:19 pm

SharonRA

i think rat bastards is in there too

2:19 pm

nDanLia

2:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, and kje, yes I thought so too but from the European end. I live here and am a participant in the European socialized medical stystem. The film was I think important but I was disappointed in the accuracy: very rose-colored-glasses. But I do LIKE my medical system!

2:20 pm

nDanLia
