ok, then doctor it is! Will call right away.
1:47 am
jillibus

Let me know what happens, please, and hope it's a simple thing.
1:48 am

I think it is nothing serious, but it won't go away.
1:49 am

busy...
1:50 am
jillibus

keep trying!
1:50 am

whole world seems to be calling the doctor, lol, I cannot even get into the waiting queue

Does anyone have a good clue for te11?
1:52 am

te10
1:53 am
sprite

ok, got the assistant. She will check with the doctor whether they need to see Caya or not. Since she has not trouble seeing at all, she will probably get an eye drop medicine that should help.
1:53 am
sprite

wow that is a fun word, thanks
1:54 am
jillibus

that sounds good, sprite
1:55 am
sprite

yes it certainly does. I can call this afternoon to hear what the doctor said. And when she doesn't have to see Caya, the medicine will be at the drugstore this afternoon too.
1:56 am
sprite

thanks for helping me think, jilli :)
1:56 am
jillibus

Glad it helped :)
1:57 am
sprite

sure did. I often have trouble deciding, as you know :)
1:59 am
jillibus

so do I, sprite -- it's hard sometimes
2:01 am
sprite

my therapist says it is part of my illness. Seems decision-making is partly enabled by certain hormones in the brain, which are always on the low side with me. And partly it is because I am so very afraid of making the wrong decision. She calls it an invisible handicap.
2:01 am
jillibus

I'm trying to decided what to do about Christmas -- how to get together with my little family -- go there (how?) or have them come here (daunting -- five of them and a dog)
2:03 am
sprite

oh yes, I totally empathise with that. Tough decision to make. I would say: go there in the most comfortable way you can afford, and have them take care of you.
2:05 am
jillibus

Trouble is there's no comfortable way, dammit! Either a long drive after the ferry or go as a foot passenger, lugging presents ( too late to mail them and I haven't finished shopping). I can put some of them up here in a hotel and hope they'll do the cooking.
2:06 am
sprite

can't they pick you up from the ferry?
2:07 am
jillibus

yes, but it still means lugging a bagful of presents ON the ferry, and back. No place to park them.
2:07 am
jillibus

Never mind -- something will work out
2:08 am
sprite

then I think you should ask them to come collect you!
2:08 am
sprite

they can do the carrying then, and drive you to their home from the ferry.
2:09 am
jaianniah

My last word is the nine- pe9. Any clues? I have looked and looked....
2:09 am
jaianniah

and looked and looked
2:09 am
sprite

lol jai, I don't have it yet, but will start looking now.
2:09 am
jaianniah

HELP!!!!
2:10 am
jillibus

that would take all day. I have to take 2 ferries to get to the mainland -- one is 35 minutes and the other an hour and a half -- if you make the connection. Then the drive is about an hour and three quarters -- usually through pouring rain at this time of the year.
2:10 am

2:12 am

really tough decision, jilli. If you'd rather stay home, the hotel plan sounds good and don't HOPE they will cook, ask them to. Or order food.
2:13 am

2:18 am
sprite

perhaps you should give it a rest then? And simply tell them you'd love to celebrate Xmas together but that you need it to be comfortable for you?

herinfernallady

HI Diem
2:31 am
diem

hi herin
2:31 am
sprite

usually cleaning it with cooked water is enough. But it is almost a week now and still swollen. So just called the doctor, will hear this afternoon whether she wants to see Caya or will prescribe a medicinal eyedrop. Probably the last, because Caya has no problem seeing.
2:32 am
herinfernallady

OK Sprite tea tree oil is good but it is best for you to see the doc
2:33 am
sprite

tea tree oil near the eye? I think not.
2:33 am
herinfernallady

It is on the lid watered down AS AN ADULT. but as a kid no to sensitivve
2:34 am
sprite

yeah Caya is only 10.
2:35 am
sprite

lol and if she heard me say that, I would be in trouble, because she is certain she is already 10!
2:35 am
herinfernallady

It is good on sty's but as she is a little one see the doc. Plus its an eye not something to play about with
2:35 am
sprite

thanks for caring, lady :)
2:37 am
herinfernallady

I have been using witch hazel on my face to clear up acne. Icky pain in the butt. My friend uses tea tree oil on her eye with a stye but she knows its a sty and has seen a doc and all that
2:37 am
sprite

I use tea tree oil for lots of things. But I am very careful with eyes.
2:38 am
sprite

did the witch hazel work?
2:38 am
herinfernallady

Yes. When in doubt and all that
2:38 am
sprite

yes exactly
2:39 am
herinfernallady

I am really liking witch hazel. In 3 days a very ugly lumpy pimply thing was on my cheek. It is now just a mark

If it's pe9, If it had an 'f' as the 4th letter it would mean to make holes in, as in toilet paper to rip it along, or tear-off slips. Change the 4th letter.

I am happy to report that I made to more than 1/2 way! Now I can open the list. maybe then I will get some E's from that lower right one
6:05 am
Eva

he's actually not with me right now. I came down to Boston for the weekend and a cat loving neighbor is caring for him. It sounds like he's doing fine though and I'll see him tonight. We thought, for such a short trip, it would be less stressful for all concerned to leave him in Vermont. But we'll see. Usually when I've been away for any length of time he is incredibly effusive in his greeting and then some time during the next 24 hours sneaks up and bites me really hard.
6:05 am
herinfernallady

good call
6:05 am
phandmd

oh, and Good morning all
6:05 am

Eva that sounds cat like. Mine does it to get attention and then play tag

6:06 am
Trifioso

eva, did you like boston? that's where I live....
6:07 am
Eva

This biting isn't playful at all.....it almost seems as if he has all of this nervous energy stored up from the absence and just has to release it. Sort of like static electricity.
6:07 am
Eva

Trifioso-we live part time in Vermont (most of the time), but still have our place in JP where we lived for many years. Where are you?
6:08 am
herinfernallady

wow hi cross
6:12 am
Eva

Sounds wonderful. There are very few things I miss when in Vermont, but easy access to the ocean is one of them. The MFA, and ethnic diversity are the others. Vermont is incredibly beautiful and quiet and incredibly white bread.
6:12 am

so, EM?
6:12 am

MFA?

7:36 am
EspritdJean

I realize he is very old and frial and is not going to last much longer but I was kind of hoping he'd go quietly in his sleep and I wouldn't have to make the decision
7:36 am
Atalante

it's much easier on the owner, certainly
7:37 am
Anniebrook

{{{Jean}}}
7:37 am
EspritdJean

now he is barely eating or drinking
7:37 am

sometimes there come a time when we must offer our old pet the final kindness and it is hard:(
7:37 am
EspritdJean

he stumbles around bumping into the walls
7:37 am
NonoNanette

Jean, I know how you feel. Is the little guy in pain?
7:37 am
Scrabbler

My vets have always said: if they stop eating then they do not want to live anymore, AND euthanasia is the last LOVING thing we do for our pets. I had old bunny Callie put to sleep in May.
7:37 am
Atalante

he'll let you know, Jean. You'll look at him one day and go "that's enough"
7:37 am
crosshair

you read my mind scrabbs
7:37 am
EspritdJean

Nan, I think I was trying to convince myself that he isn't/wasn't because he didn't cry
7:38 am
EspritdJean

but lately he has been moaning
7:38 am
NonoNanette

it is time then sweetie. It is the best thing you can do for him
7:38 am
Atalante

dogs like several things: playing, eating, drinking, sleeping, weeing/pooing. If he's not doing much of that, he's - well -
7:38 am
Scrabbler

It is time to let him go, as hard as that is.
7:38 am
Anniebrook

Jean, I had to make that decision and it was very hard but I had to be kind to my pet. You can give him peace.
7:39 am
Atalante

it's the last thing to can do to show him you love him, Jean
7:39 am
EspritdJean

you're all telling me what I guess I knew but couldn't stand to face
7:39 am
NonoNanette

Scrabs, I'm so sorry. I was unaware that you had put Callie to rest. I was really out of the loop to miss that
7:39 am
Atalante

not surprised! it's an almost impossible thing to face
7:40 am
Scrabbler

((Jean + doggy))--make an appt and then just love him up. What is his name?

hi Nonnie
7:40 am
Scrabbler

Yes, Nono, same as Jean, dreading the reality, but she was becoming crippled from lower spine arthritis.
7:40 am
EspritdJean

he is all bones
7:40 am
Scrabbler

((Jean + Rocky))
7:40 am
EspritdJean

he can barely walk
7:41 am
EspritdJean

I must be an idiot
7:41 am
Scrabbler

Call the vet, Jean.
7:41 am
Atalante

no, Jean, you are not. You just want him there, of course you do!
7:41 am
EspritdJean

I will miss him so much
7:41 am
NonoNanette

I went thru similar circumstances a few years ago with my beloved Majic cat
7:41 am
Atalante

but there comes a time when you *must* think of them
7:41 am
Anniebrook

Jean, Let Rocky go...call the vet and make an appointment...so hard but it has to be done
7:42 am
Scrabbler

Nono, I got a foster bunny 3 wks after Callie died, and she is officially mine now. She came named Bijou but I call her Miss B, for Beatrix Potter.
7:42 am
NonoNanette

It is so very hard on us humans but you must thing of your little friend and his comfort
7:42 am
Scrabbler

Let him go, Jean. You WILL miss him, but you gave him a great life.
7:42 am
NonoNanette

now see Scrabs, I knew about the foster bunny becoming permanent for you
7:43 am
Atalante

none of us can tell you what to do, Jean. you know what is best. be brave enough to do what your head tells you
7:43 am
Scrabbler

Jean, someday, when you are ready, you will give another dog a privileged life of love.
7:44 am
EspritdJean

thank you all
7:44 am
EspritdJean

can barely breathe from crying right now
7:44 am
Scrabbler

And then you will say, I LOVE this dog evn though I miss my old ones.
7:44 am
Atalante

*darling Jean* I think we all know how you feel
7:44 am
Scrabbler

((Jean))--I am crying now too.
7:45 am
Anniebrook

{{Jean}} I am crying with you.
7:45 am
Atalante

we've all been there and done it, and it's one of the worst things in the world. but Rocky trusts you and trusts you to help him
7:45 am
NonoNanette

tears are in my eyes as well
7:45 am
EspritdJean

it is pretty pitiful to see him this way
7:45 am
Anniebrook

This is heartbreaking
7:46 am
Scrabbler

I look out at my pet cemetery in the woods and I have 4 bunnies buried there. I miss them BUT I love my current ones so much too. We give our pets great lives, say good-bye, then love up some new ones.
7:46 am
Anniebrook

then let him find peace, Jean
7:46 am
EspritdJean

I appreciate this all of you
7:47 am
Atalante

go and phone up the vet, Jean. Tell him about Rocky and get his opinion too. Sometimes it helps having an "official" opinion
7:47 am
Scrabbler

It is because you love him so much that this hurts AND that you know what you must do for him.
7:47 am
Anniebrook

Dear Jean, we love you and are with you all the way and we love Rocky and will let him go.
7:47 am
EspritdJean

you are all official enough for me
7:47 am
FMitch

Espirt it is time to let Rocky go.
Sorry to join the conv so late.
7:48 am
Atalante

and is there someone nearby who can go with you? or be around to help?
7:48 am
Trifioso

jean, make sure to look up a poem online called "the rainbow bridge" = it helped my children and I so much when we lost a pet
7:48 am
NonoNanette

Take care of Rocky, Jean and then hold your memories of him close at heart
7:48 am
Scrabbler

Then, when you are ready, Jean, make a scrapbook with photos and stories and favorite memories.
7:48 am
NonoNanette

oh that is an excellent idea Trifioso
7:49 am
EspritdJean

I will Trif ty
7:49 am
mom23

Jean -- it will be one of the most difficult yet one of the most humane things you can do. Had a mini Schnauzer for 17 years. Had to let her go in '95 but heart still goes crazy when I see another mini. Will be thinking of you and Rocky. Hugs.
7:50 am
EspritdJean

Rocky is at least 18
7:50 am

Hello Annie :)
7:52 am
Scrabbler

18 years old! Wow! That is a reflection of the love and great care he has received.
7:52 am
EspritdJean

I'm afraid to look at it right now it will probably put me into hysterics
7:53 am
Trifioso

it's actually pretty comforting, but you do what you need...save the link for when you are ready
7:53 am
Atalante

don't read it now. read it later.
7:53 am
Anniebrook

Jean, then dont read the poem now...save it for when you can and want to
7:54 am

I have a picture of Buster (named by my daughter when she was 7) on my dresser. I still miss him but I know I did the right thing. It was hard but I loved him too much to see him suffer.
8:01 am
Trifioso

go nono!
8:01 am
crosshair

it is hard ,
ive had to give many of our pets the final kindness when we had our farm,but since dog and cats never lie,always love, never cheat,and always adore then be sure they go to a better place when they leave thier tired bodies

I represent people who have decided that killing for the government is not what God intends for them to do. . .and tax law to make money

wow. good for you!!! what area of the country are you in?
8:16 am

? killing for the govt...military?
8:16 am

jmc that's a weird combination
8:16 am
jmcnrick

yes
8:16 am
hurshy

you mean people who've decided it after they joined up?
8:16 am

Now that I have the 9 I need more help with that 11.
8:16 am

that was my first thought scrabbs
8:16 am

still looking for the 11 myself

yaa ty br;)
8:17 am
hurshy

hi all
8:18 am
jmcnrick

the regulations provide for it. People who join with the best of intentions sometimes come to a realization that when Jesus said to love your enemies he didn't mean to kill them
8:18 am
kje

ooooooo - pretty icon BR
8:18 am
hurshy

yes, i just thought i'd confirm, since if you were relying on draftee business i would think things would have been pretty slow the last few decades :)
8:19 am
Trifioso

again, good for you jmc.
8:19 am
jmcnrick

tywm BR! I could get the unbalance but the plank alluded me
8:19 am
Trifioso

hurshy!!! pb for you!
8:19 am
jmcnrick

lol hursh but still plenty of scared mamas out there on the draft
8:19 am
hurshy

that's a real word? i thought i made it up
8:19 am
hurshy

ah well
8:20 am
Scrabbler

YT for the 11. I knew the second half but didn't see the first word.
8:20 am
Trifioso

don't worry, I left some scones and tea on my last visit.
8:20 am
jmcnrick

er ty not yt
8:20 am
Trifioso

jmc - my kids and I are all dual citizens, and if the draft gets started up again, we are OUTTA here
8:21 am
BabbleRabble

one more great irony ---- wanting to deport immigrants but now accepting green card holders into the military
8:21 am
jmcnrick

ooo I need my coffee scrab I thought I wrote the yt
8:21 am
Atalante

US and where, Trif?
8:21 am
Trifioso

ireland
8:21 am
Scrabbler

Where is your other citizenship, Trif?
8:21 am
jmcnrick

they would have to give up the US citizenship and never come back in most cases I would have to look up ireland and that is too much like work this early
8:22 am
hurshy

you can register your status at a conscientious objector now to avoid potential dr5s in future.
8:22 am
Scrabbler

Cool. I have 2 Irish families in my practice. I love listening to them speak.
8:22 am
kje

LOL jmc
8:22 am
jmcnrick

actually we have accepted non citizens in the military for a long time--we have recruiting stations in Mexico and Germany
8:22 am
EvaNadine

isnt it true that the US doesnt recognize dual citizenship? i thought i heard that somewhere...
8:23 am
jmcnrick

checkk out how to register as a CO at my webpage at www.centeronconscience.org
8:23 am
bichon

I'm not so sure that's true. I know Israelis can
8:23 am
Atalante

did you know that around 700 US citizens have signed up for the French Foreign League over the years
8:23 am
Scrabbler

This grid is constipated with consonants in the middle and I find it rather annoying.
8:23 am
Trifioso

my dh actually was considering joining the military back in the 80s, as it was a means to citizenship, or at least a green card, and the regular channel tood for ever ever ever
8:23 am
Trifioso

eva - the US does not grant dual, but it recognizes that other countries do, which is how I have mine
8:23 am
BabbleRabble

the stop loss program resulting in multiple deployments is such a tragedy for the troops and their families
8:24 am
jmcnrick

US doesn't let you keep citizenship of other country but some other countries do...and some people are born with a dual citizenship and there is nothing the US can do about that
8:24 am
EvaNadine

ahh, thats must be what i heard. :)
8:24 am
bichon

Ata, there was an article about that in the NY Times last week. They are in French Guyana training. It's tough
8:24 am
jmcnrick

the stop loss makes me very angry even more so the people who think they have been discharged and then get called back
8:24 am
Trifioso

jmc - they let me keep my us passport when I became an irish citizen
8:24 am
Atalante

so if I moved to the US, I'd have to give up my Brit passport? *horror*
8:25 am
Scrabbler

Aha, I see you there, jmc. Nice site and work.
8:25 am
EvaNadine

my parents are from jolly old england...instead of being citizens, they are "subjects of the queen"
apparently you cant denounce that...
8:25 am
Trifioso

ata - you can get it right back when you go back to britain, if britain will let you have two
8:25 am
Atalante

yes, britain does
8:25 am

women deployed to iraq or afghanistan have a greater chance of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than getting killed and often are redeployed with the same one that assaulted them
8:26 am
Trifioso

well, then, you are all set. Yes, you would have to surrender your british passport to become a citizen of the us, but then, as I said, you just go back in england, tell them what happened, and then you get your brit one back.
8:26 am
jmcnrick

now I need to focus for a few ***putting blindres on**
8:26 am
Atalante

oh good. I refuse to not be british ever again!

ugh, that is hideous BR. I keep hearing how Barack Obama needs extra secirty details, but not to protect him from foreign assassins, but rednecked, white supremist americans. greeeeeeaat
8:27 am

**peaki doublng out of blinder** actually women who join the military increase the likelihood of sexual assault by double and then another double in combat areas **closing blinders again**
8:27 am

exactly, hurshy! I'm not giving that up!!
8:27 am

And I must get ready for a tennis match, then work, then a 3rd on-call night in a row.

8:30 am
Trifioso

wow, that is an excellent way to put it!
8:31 am
Trifioso

I have been traveling to ireland since 1989, and the past two times we were there, last year and the year before that, we experienced our first taste of outwardly displayed anti-american sentiment. It made me so sad.
8:31 am
jmcnrick

It comes up when I speak. People are always accusing me of not being proud of America. Darn holes in these blinder! ;-0
8:32 am
hurshy

nationalism is pretty silly though, when you get right down to it. everyone being proud of where they were born, just cause they were born there. imagine if i were proud of being born in worcester, massachusetts. that would be weird.
8:32 am
Atalante

I think it's hard for other countries to separate anti-american feeling, and individual americans
8:32 am

8:33 am

8:33 am

8:35 am

8:35 am

8:37 am

suicide is the number on noncombat cause of death in the US military-----part of it is we draf. . . er. . ."recruit" people when they are 17 through 21
8:37 am
hurshy

it's not that i'm NOT proud to be from my family, or that there's anything particularly wrong with them :) it's just one of those things where i don't feel particular attachments to things i happen to be part of.

Remembrance Day is still a big thing over here. It's just that you don't get a sense of pride in the armed forces most of the time, mainly because people may disagree with the political decisions that have sent them to certain spheres of conflict.

8:52 am
hurshy

what i'm saying is that americans have a different psyche than brits
8:52 am
Haz1558

No, I don't either, Babble, it's just that we don't have the means to do it in the same way as you might have in the States.
8:54 am
Judi

Babble, not bombs!

Anniebrook

YAY for Ata!!
8:55 am
Atalante

just in time to go to boggle my local postmistress sending registered delivery parcels to Switzerland and other parcels to Poland. And then going to get my windscreen fixed. That disturbs me
8:56 am
Haz1558

I'm sure the postmistress will welcome the challenge.

Hi Lori!

Haz1558

Yes, Lori, your eyes do not deceive you.
8:57 am
Atalante

where did you stash George, Lori?
8:58 am
Haz1558

Of course, George could be part of the reason I haven't beeen here. He needed such help learning his lines..
8:58 am
Judi

Oooh. Speaking of good looking blokes, saw "Australia" this weekend. I must say, Hugh Jackman was delicious.
8:59 am
LoriP

Hey Annie, TO haz, everyone. I knew George would work..... Good bait is important
8:59 am
hurshy

isn't he people's sexiest man alive this year?
8:59 am
72 Temple Owl

did you like the movie? it's been panned
8:59 am
Haz1558

Just this year, hurshy? How about 'of all time'?
8:59 am
Trifioso

i hope it was good...it looks really good
9:00 am
Judi

Well, TO, it was drippingly romantic and entirely predictable, but the scenery (besides Hugh) was breath-taking.
9:00 am
hurshy

no, not george, haz, hugh jackman
9:00 am
Judi

It's a total chick flick.
9:00 am
72 Temple Owl

yes i did hear that the cinematography was good
9:00 am
Judi

But, I'm a chick, so I dug it.
9:00 am
Haz1558

Hugh who? I wish you could hear the disgust in my voice.
9:00 am
hurshy

one P7 or 2?
9:01 am
Anniebrook

I saw Hugh Jackman in The Boy from Oz on Broadway and his interaction with the audience was the highlight of the musical. He had a woman come up on stage and hugged her. I thought she was going to faint
9:01 am
hurshy

sorry haz, i wasn't on the committee
9:01 am
BabbleRabble

9:01 am
Judi

Have you seen him with his shirt off, Haz? Methinks you'd not be so disgusted.
9:01 am
Haz1558

I'll have to google this Hugh person. Not that I'm remotely worried on George's account.
9:01 am
BabbleRabble

9:01 am

of course i'd pick james roday, but that's only because he's so perfect for ME!
9:02 am

hugh is rather pretty
9:02 am
hurshy

ooh thanks brabble, that was my last 6 letter

He's more rugged in Australia. He was a little skinny and girly while doing the Broadway thing. Much improved now!

9:04 am
Haz1558

Does he have a strong Australian accent?
9:04 am
Atalante

not really
9:04 am
Anniebrook

Not a strong accent.. I would not have understood him
9:05 am
Judi

In the movie he does. In other things no. He was in X-Men. Had a yank accent in that.
9:05 am
Anniebrook

The movie I saw with Nicole Kidman that I liked was The Hours
9:05 am
LoriP

The way he yells out my name would be more exciting with a strong accent. :D
9:05 am
Judi

Love Aussie accents. PURRRRRRR.
9:05 am
Atalante

in van Helsing he had a transylvanian / australian / american accent LOL
9:05 am

See you later, Annie
9:23 am
EspritdJean

anyone who was here earlier with my dog drama?
9:24 am
Haz1558

I read the log, Esprit.
9:24 am
EspritdJean

well, I called the vet and told them I was coming in
9:24 am
EspritdJean

and when I got in my car to take him, the battery was dead
9:24 am
EspritdJean

that has NEVER happened
9:25 am
Haz1558

No....
9:25 am
Judi

Oh no, Jean!
9:25 am
EspritdJean

a sign?
9:25 am
Trifioso

hmmm - does seem a sign from the universe, jean. how do you feel - really feel - inside - about the battery?
9:25 am
Haz1558

What did you do?
9:25 am
EspritdJean

I'm shocked about the battery. My car is kept in a garage and the battery has never been a problem
9:25 am
Trifioso

are you relieved, or upset that you can't come in?
9:26 am
EspritdJean

it does seem pretty queer
9:26 am
EspritdJean

this just happened haz
9:26 am
EspritdJean

I called the vet and told them to take me off the schedule for now
9:27 am
EspritdJean

maybe it happened to help me be REALLY sure I am prepared to do this
9:27 am
Trifioso

okay. how does rocky seem?
9:27 am
Haz1558

Okay. Do you need to hear any more input?
9:27 am
EspritdJean

sure
9:27 am
EspritdJean

rocky is blind and deaf
9:27 am
EspritdJean

he spends his day sleeping or literally walking around in circles bumping into walls
9:28 am
Haz1558

Is the bumping solely a result of his blindness, or is there an element of dementia?
9:28 am
EspritdJean

lately he has been going behind doors or under tables and doesn't understand how to get out
9:28 am
EspritdJean

he is very wobbly on his feet and has barely been eating or drinking
9:29 am
EspritdJean

I think it's the blindness haz
9:30 am
Haz1558

I can't tell you what to do, Esprit, but I do have a lot of experience talking to people who are making the decision to have their dogs put to sleep.
9:30 am
EspritdJean

I'm listening
9:30 am
Haz1558

It's very common for people who adore their dogs to find it really difficult to make the decision. They want someone else to make the decision for them but the vet will onlydo what you ask of him.
9:31 am
Haz1558

Rocky has had a good life up until now. You've loved him, looked after him and invested so much time and energy in meeting his needs. He has repaid that over and over in his love.
9:32 am
Haz1558

You have to ask yourself if Rocky still has any quality of life. If he's not in pain, if he's peaceful then by all means let him carry on, providing it isn't tearing your heart apart.
9:32 am
Haz1558

Some people can manage to watch their dogs deteriorating, others want intervention more quickly. It's up to you, Esprit, but you've loved him so far, and you have the right to make the decision for what's best.
9:33 am
harpjane

I've only had a pet put to sleep once in my life. The little sh** looked at me with hate in his eyes right before the moment. And he had been miserable for a long time!
9:33 am
EspritdJean

I'm not sure I could say he is peaceful, lately he does moan a little
9:33 am
harpjane

But it was still the right thing to do
9:34 am
EspritdJean

he's just so helpless
9:34 am
Judi

I'm sure that hate was for the vet, not you harpjane.
9:34 am
harpjane

um, well with THIS cat, I'd say it was for me.....
9:35 am
Haz1558

But if he's sleeping most of the time, then he's not uncomfortable. If he's helpless to look after his own needs or to get pleasure out of life, then maybe the time has come to let him go.
9:35 am
harpjane

He wanted to go home and beat up the other cats some more....
9:35 am
harpjane

9:36 am
EspritdJean

I do think it's time Haz, I was kind of hoping he would go quietly in his sleep
9:36 am
EspritdJean

I hate that I will be holding him when he goes and there's no way I could NOT be holding him
9:36 am
Haz1558

I know. That would be the nicest way for him to go.
9:36 am
Haz1558

Have you anybody else who could give you a lift to the vets?
9:37 am
EspritdJean

no, I just wnet over to my neighbor and they are not home
9:37 am
EspritdJean

I will have to call for a battery charge anyway
9:37 am
Judi

I couldn't imagine not holding a beloved animal during it's final moments.
9:37 am
Haz1558

Esprit - ask for him to have a sedative first, that will make him drowsy. The second injection is very swift, he will feel no pain.
9:38 am
EspritdJean

I know he won't, I had to do this once before and I know it's fast
9:38 am
Atalante

(will the vet come out to you if you explain the circumstances?)
9:38 am
EspritdJean

no ata
9:39 am
EspritdJean

I hate to say it but this group is rather mercenary
9:39 am
Atalante

awww. that's a shame
9:39 am
EspritdJean

ok, I'd better take care of my situations here
9:39 am
Atalante

sorry for that quick interjection. *hugs jean and rocky* I have to pop out. Good luck, dear. Do what your heart tells you is best for Rocky
9:39 am
EspritdJean

thanks for listening again
9:39 am
Haz1558

And don't worry about being emotional. Sometimes our vets end up in tears, never mind the clients.

believe me, I will not be able to hold back if I wanted to

10:10 am

Hi all.......a clue please for pe9/72 please?
10:11 am
Haz1558

Both te6/18 are anagrams of each other. One is unsteady (as in a see-saw).
10:12 am
Haz1558

Hello Flask - pe9/72 is structured the same as the word meaning to put little holes in (think stamps). Change the fourth letter for another consonant.

6:27 pm
featherbee

he woke up once at 9:30, let me do the ear drops at that time, and i crawled in bed with him then. woke back up at 12:30, i think that was when i came in here. after that time, we slept the rest of the night through.
6:28 pm
stidmama

glad you got some rest from that point!
6:28 pm
featherbee

the 12:30 one, he was fully awake, didn't want to lay down because it hurt. i had him semi-recline, and read a couple chapters of our magic tree house book. we tried the warm washcloth, but he hated it. he sometimes has sensory issues. i finally rememberd i had a rice sock. threw that in the microwave, laid it over his ear/head, and he was good about that.
6:28 pm
stidmama

I remember those nights. I would get so worried -- not earaches with us, but random fevers and huge coughing fits
6:29 pm
stidmama

some nights, I would sit in the tiny bathroom with the shower on full hot and let it fill with steam.
6:29 pm
featherbee

he so rarely gets earaches. this is maybe his 4th or 5th in his life. i used to get them a lot, and totally remember how bad they hurt.
6:29 pm
stidmama

and just hold the kid until he fell asleep...
6:30 pm
featherbee

yep, have done the shower thing
6:30 pm
stidmama

I used to get earaches, too. They were AWFUL. actually, I still do, but now I can self-medicate with decongestants and painkillers!
6:31 pm
featherbee

my mom was telling me about the time she had to take me to the ER for one, i was screaming so bad! middle of the night in the winter of course.
6:31 pm

6:32 pm
stidmama

it's not bad feather, I think I played about 40 minutes last night and got down to abut 35? maybe it was closer to an hour.
6:33 pm

recently???
6:34 pm
stidmama

6:37 pm
stidmama

yes, but when we were young jellen, the MRSA was mostly confined to hospitals. Still, they were nasty even then. A good one to avoid.
6:37 pm

6:40 pm
stidmama

THAT is tough! when my allergies started to rear their heads about 16 years ago we had to find substitutes for all kinds of common things. I am glad I can eat eggs again.
6:40 pm

6:40 pm

yes, red, the tube was really a problem for the throat, too - and I will take this opportunity to say how much it means to me to have the good wishes of the babble clan - I do not have a big support system around me right now, it's just me and my son doing our best to cope - and as a mom, of course I am concerned about how he is handling the anxiety and the worry

I am so anxious to know how the rest of her day went. She was in absolute agony over whether or not to put her dog down....Ata, are you out there? Do you know if it all worked out????
10:14 pm

clue for fa5/22?
10:14 pm

sort of like the chocolate treat, but with a diff vowel
10:15 pm

10:15 pm

car.eeyore

what are all the letters and numbers about?
10:17 pm
car.eeyore

ward
10:17 pm
Trifioso

the numbers show you how many words you can make from each tile. The first number is the numbers of words you have entered, the second is the total number of words for that tile....and it is off to the PB for you, missy!
10:18 pm
Trifioso

I warned you about that - what
10:18 pm
car.eeyore

PB?
10:18 pm
Trifioso

penalty box tonight - I left tea and homemade scones last time
10:18 pm
car.eeyore

This is very confusing for me.
10:19 pm
Trifioso

okay. just enter the words UNDER the grid, not here, and they show up in the right hand column. The tile stats are meant as a little guide. The show you how many words start with each tile.
10:19 pm
Trifioso

if a tile is grey, with a number count of 0/0 then you know there are no words that start with that tile
10:20 pm
smilesoplenty

you will get used to it car. in a week you will be a pro
10:20 pm
car.eeyore

Doing the best I can!
10:20 pm
Trifioso

once you have entered all the words for that tile, they tile will show a full count (9/9) and it will grey out. The help tab above is also useful.
10:20 pm
Trifioso

I am just delighted you are here. it is really, really fun
10:21 pm
car.eeyore

What are the 0/0 ones that are gray then?
10:21 pm
Trifioso

tiles that don't start any words - just ignore them. They might be in other words, but they don't START any
10:22 pm
car.eeyore

How long does this usually take you to do? Can you leave it and come back?
10:23 pm
Trifioso

for example - we ALL know you got a word for the bottom middle W, so that tile should at least say 1/6. if you found more, it will be a higher number, ob.
10:23 pm
Trifioso

you absolutely can, but check and see how much time is left for today's play. looks like right now there is just over an hour left
10:24 pm
car.eeyore

I'm not even halfway done!
10:24 pm
Trifioso

you have only been here for what, 10 minutes! I didn't even finish the first few days.
10:25 pm
Danielita1

how do you get help with the words...when I hit the help button it just gave me directions
10:25 pm
Trifioso

daniel, you can ask for hints here, but not just "what is the w5?" for example
10:26 pm
Danielita1

what would w5 mean?
10:26 pm
car.eeyore

Are there duplicate words?
10:27 pm
Trifioso

crap. Just saw an ad for "valkyrie" wasn't going to go NEAR it, but Bill Nighy is in it, and I do looooove him
10:27 pm
Trifioso

w5 means a 5 letter word that starts with w. No, there are no dupes. But there are plurals!
10:27 pm
car.eeyore

Not without any "s"es!
10:28 pm
Trifioso

oh yeah. How clever am I then?
10:29 pm
Danielita1

how would i know how many letters the word is?
10:29 pm
Trifioso

you can click down below the grid on Lickety's babble clues
10:30 pm
Trifioso

car, I want you to know, the chat is NEVER usually this quiet.

I think my favorite kitty was one I called Pudie Cat. I got her as an older kitten. she was white with gray spots. her coat was coarse like a shorthair, but rather longer than I think I've ever seen. she had a LOT of longhaired kittens
