3:07 am
mrpresident

night book
3:07 am
Manang

I prefer playing Bookworm. Lol. No offense meant Babble creator. I also like Hangman and Funtrivia games. I also recommend vocab games at freerice.com.
3:08 am
westford

you know the muppets don't you? kermit the frog, miss piggy, gonzo
3:08 am
westford

3:09 am
Manang

I hope so westford. thanks for the attention.
3:09 am
westford

well there was a special called Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas
3:10 am
westford

our son was about 13 and he was watching that or so I thought
3:11 am
westford

apparently we got all channels by some fluke and our son in law looked over at the tv and said what is he watching?
3:11 am
Manang

For every correct answer at freerice.com, there is a corresponding rice donation to the hungry. Hope all you will try playing there. Or maybe some of you already did.
3:11 am
westford

turns out it was the playboy channel
3:12 am
westford

Doug said it's a jug band all right but not emmet otter
3:12 am
westford

I play freerice all the time
3:12 am
Manang

Huh! I didnt know that there is a tv version of the Playboy mag! Lol
3:13 am
westford

it was gone that very day manang
3:13 am
westford

that was years ago so it may not be on anymore
3:14 am
Manang

Thanks! westford for playing at freerice. maybe rice donation I received came from your scores at freerice. Joke. But Im a rice eater too. That is why I symphatize with those hungry.
3:14 am
westford

he's 37 now with 2 little girls 5 and 3
3:15 am
westford

rice is so good
3:16 am
Manang

Huh! you eat rice? I eat rice three times a day. We here in the Philippines cant survive without rice. Lol
3:16 am
westford

it's the perfect staple
3:17 am
westford

our daughter was in Bali on her honeymoon and helped shake the rice from the stalks
3:17 am
Manang

But what we got used to consume is the white rice or the polished (all nutrients are gone). Brown or red rice is better than white
3:18 am
westford

that's very true I like long grain and wild rice
3:18 am
Manang

Really! I was raised here in a rice producing nation but I never experience shaking rice fron the stalks.
3:19 am
westford

they hired a driver who took them off the beaten path they had an excellent time
3:20 am
westford

maybe it's different in Indonesia
3:20 am
Manang

Wow that was an unforgettable experience.
3:20 am
westford

we have pictures
3:21 am
Manang

What we and most of the people here eat is the plain rice.
3:21 am
westford

sometimes progress is not progress at all
3:22 am
Manang

I rarely eat fried rice because my stomach tend to rumble. Lol
3:22 am
mrpresident

I love plain rice!!
3:22 am
westford

3:23 am
westford

rice pudding too
3:23 am
Manang

So did you post your rice-related activity in internet? So what is the progress you are talking about? Is it the path toward the end of the crisis?
3:23 am
Manang

So did you post your rice-related activity in internet? So what is the progress you are talking about? Is it the path toward the end of the crisis?
3:24 am
westford

not so profane I just meant they over process the rice and take all the nutrition out
3:24 am
mrpresident

you did west! to the dreaded spare ribs!
3:25 am
Manang

Rice pudding? I never tasted that? There is a rice delicacy, something which is called a rice cake. It has a sweet syrupy topping.
3:25 am
westford

mmm good
3:26 am
Manang

yeah you are right westford about the progress in rice production
3:26 am
westford

3:26 am
westford

3:27 am
mrpresident

Rice Custard is a favourite... I make that myself
3:27 am
westford

it takes longer to cook but it's so much better
3:27 am
Manang

Yeah it is delicious sweet rice recipe. But we rarely eat them. Hope to buy one again to share to loved ones anf friends
3:27 am
westford

3:28 am
mrpresident

3:28 am
Manang

3:28 am
Manang

Manang means an old woman never married in Philippine language. Im 38 years old.
3:29 am
westford

I see. that is definitely not old
3:29 am
westford

our word would be spinster or old maid
3:30 am
Manang

I think Ive lost my focus on adding more words to create here. I turned to chatting in babble site. Lol
3:30 am
westford

but I meant what is the sweet rice cake called
3:30 am
westford

sometimes it's good to take a break from the words
3:31 am
Manang

I dont know the native language for that sweet rice delicacy.
3:31 am
mrpresident

mana, that is what it is about!
3:31 am
mrpresident

I love to cook... it is just rice with custard, refridgerate and top with cinnamon
3:31 am
westford

3:31 am
Manang

westford

3:33 am

3:33 am
Manang

3:34 am
mrpresident

3:39 am
westford

3:39 am
mrpresident

I know over 250 people from this site... and love them like family
3:39 am
Manang

6:01 am
redturtlehead

oooh, who knows...
6:01 am
Scrabbler

Jorjah, you have been slammed with grief over the last year. Take care of your body, mind and soul, and be patient.
6:02 am
jorjahgal

you are so sweet...and it is so nice to get up in the morning and not feel like the sky is falling in on ya... ya know?
6:03 am
Scrabbler

I have been feeling a bit down lately myself
6:03 am
jorjahgal

I"m sorry to hear that... anything I can do for you?
6:04 am
Scrabbler

I need a new job--must escape from boss, Richard Head
6:05 am
kje

lots out there scrab... I get several recruiting letters/ week... mostly merrit hawkins
6:05 am
Scrabbler

And the grief (Mary's death) comes in waves
6:05 am
Scrabbler

I get those too, kje, but I don't want to move and, with economy, our county is tight with peds jobs
6:06 am
jorjahgal

then start looking! you are smart, talented and life too short to let a job get you down....the waves, all I can say is like you told me, just grab a life line and ride them out....but I know easier said than done
6:06 am
kje

the economy hits healthcare differently scrab... lots of jobs, though if you don't want to move, that is a different story
6:07 am
Scrabbler

I need to actively explore my options
6:08 am
Scrabbler

And I am burned out from winter illness season
6:08 am
Andree

this is probably not a good time for anyone to change jobs
6:09 am
Scrabbler

Nope, and I am grateful to have a job in which I am not under threat of losing it
6:09 am
kje

healthcare is VERY different... if you are unhappy, start looking, scrab... too many good positions out there to put up with an asshole for a boss
6:11 am
Scrabbler

No one told us that colleague issues would be so challenging
6:12 am
Andree

healthcare is different and there probably is not the threat of losing your job but its true that the last hired is the first to go so i would think carefully
6:12 am
kje

they shouldn't be scrab... you got screwed... find someplace else
6:13 am
kje

not in healthcare, andree... it is different... seniority means less
6:13 am
Scrabbler

I would really like to augment my income with artwork--I decoupage furniture and picture frames. I need to actively create my own business.
6:13 am
kje

well... in that case, scrab... it is NOT a good time to open a small business - LOL
6:13 am
MonkeyGames

Hi for a few minutes! Scrabbs, want to move overseas maybe? We have a lot of local rabbit breeds... just trying to temp you...
6:14 am
MonkeyGames

tempT...
6:15 am
MonkeyGames

Didn't mean to kill the chat....
6:15 am
Scrabbler

Well, some side work can earn me extra money.
6:16 am
Scrabbler

I do think about escaping to another country.
6:16 am
kje

mmmm hmmmm - cuz that is what you have LOTS of... spare time - LOL
6:16 am
Scrabbler

My parents are 77, so I must stay here, near them
6:16 am
MonkeyGames

I think that sounds like a great idea, Scrabbs. Doing something creative that one is good at is good for the soul.
6:16 am
MonkeyGames

I understand. Danny's mom is in the same position, otherwise she and her man might come out here.
6:16 am
Scrabbler

But I enjoy doing this artwork in my spare time
6:17 am
MonkeyGames

But for the record we always need doctors and they're treated well here, and framing shops do well too...
6:17 am
kje

i wonder if you would enjoy it as much if it became a job? never sure which way that would fall
6:18 am
kje

moving medical licensure to the EU is not that easy MG... as the reverse is not either
6:18 am
kje

although, scrab, new zealand has 100% immediate reciprocity
6:18 am
MonkeyGames

I'm sure that's so. But I know that it IS done, and that at least in this direction it can be relatively straighforward if all the paperwork is in order.
6:18 am
Scrabbler

I do think of that, kje--if art were a business would I dislike the pressure of producing?
6:19 am
Scrabbler

No, I must stay here, near my parents.
6:19 am
MonkeyGames

My mother started doing her pottery glazing full time and she didn't have trouble with that. Not saying that is so for everyone, but she was worried about it and then all was ok.
6:20 am
MonkeyGames

I do understand that, Scrabbs. Not trying to talk you into a move.
6:20 am
Scrabbler

Or I could win the lottery and be all set, LOL
6:20 am
kje

scrab - there are some very successful models for house call docs that work officeless... probably easier in geri, but would be similar for any chronically ill child... you should see what these docs do, amazing
6:20 am
MonkeyGames

THERE you go! That's how we're planning to live somewhere warm.... OK, must go check my soup. Back in a few.
6:20 am

G'd morning Babblers! Look! No red color anywhere......

Hi Lori

hi lori - no red excpet your flag : )
6:21 am
LoriP

SHow of hands, who has tried mo**rail about a thousand times? :D
6:21 am
kje

no, not concierge... house calls for chronically ill, mostly homebound... like the opposite of concierge medicine
6:22 am
kje

well, thank you for THAT phantom... as if my own were not enough lori - LOL
6:22 am
LoriP

I'm a giver. I like to help. :p
6:23 am
kje

could search the lit for elder house call programs, scrab... similar models exist for pedi chronically ill, but less of them... another option is pediatric hospitalist - pay is good, hours are good, and it is a hugely growing field
6:24 am
LoriP

I doubt DR_G reads chat, but may I say Thank You to him anyway. He fought the Babble battle and won, and I appreciate it. The withdrawal was painful....
6:24 am

Oops, I have been informed that it is 3:00 snack time! Aloe plant... hmmm. I could give that a try, I do have a medicinal aloe plant. But I will look it up briefly first... good tip.

Thanks NoNo, doing all that. This has infected my ear and a node in my neck too, but the doctor says it's all viral so nothing to do but wait it out... Must be off to dispense snack time. Back soon!

dr god moved it to a new server, but i think that was the cure rather than the problem
9:22 am
torgone

Babble blowed up yesterday
9:22 am
Jindigo

was it a hacker or a virus or what?
9:22 am
featherbee

just server overload is my guess
9:24 am
Jindigo

it happens - thanks Feather & Tor

Hi All ... Thank heavens for Dr God ... was getting terrible withdrawal symptoms lol
9:59 am

I guess we need moments like that to appreciate what we have on a daily basis
10:02 am

I'd like to thank those who clued words even though it was very difficult to get it done
10:03 am

10:04 am

i managed to complete the grid, but not nearly as satisfying as it is when we chat. even when I lurk, i enjoy
10:05 am
littlebit

i finished yesterday's, but not thursday's
10:05 am
Dorens

thursday was somewhat frustrating, without lickety, I agree littlebit
10:06 am
littlebit

i was too tired to fight it all! i actually gave up!

hey vic!

10:09 am

I'm off to the shower, Vicuna!

Hello Vicuna!

hello all
10:10 am
praise2him

hey little bit
10:10 am
Vicuna

We are simply awash in phantoms today.
10:10 am
Vicuna

So maybe you don't need a shower. =P
10:10 am
littlebit

hey praise!
10:11 am
Fiber Art

I could take a phantom shower
10:11 am
Dorens

and we even have the so** for her to be awash in. (but that's not a phantom)
10:11 am
praise2him

glad to see Babble has recovered since yesterday
10:11 am
Dorens

no, for her to awash with!
10:12 am
Vicuna

Heehee, that was my missing s. Thanks, Doren!
10:12 am
Fiber Art

I believe I get the credit!
10:12 am
Dorens

what's funny is that it was my missing s too, then just found it
10:12 am
littlebit

i think we're all glad for babble returning to normal!
10:13 am
Vicuna

Fair enough, Fiber.
10:13 am
cherlyq63

hi all
10:13 am
Dorens

true, never would have found it if i wasn't busy looking for other phantoms, prompted by vi's comment about your need for shower. thanks
10:13 am
cherlyq63

just sitting in background not getting many words lol
10:13 am
Fiber Art

glad to stink up the place anytime.
10:13 am

hey cherly

actually I DO need to shower. but enjoying a very lazy day here so far

10:15 am
Haz1558

It's one of those grids where I remember words from when they appeared before in babble, but haven't a notion what they mean.
10:15 am
Dorens

that happens often to me haz... i feel so clever for knowing they are words, but not clever enough to know what they mean
10:16 am
cherlyq63

yep, me too, but glad to be able to play again, without the server issues lol
10:16 am
Haz1558

I should probably be really disciplined and look them up but I'd probably forget them.
10:17 am
Dorens

oh I KNOW i'd forget them, that is my rationale. I can't remember what movie I saw two days ago, how could i remember random words???
10:17 am
Aloyisius

I'll second that, Haz.. just found te6.21, the one that ends with the kitchen cooking utensil
10:17 am
Aloyisius

hi Babblers.. (-:
10:18 am
Dorens

exactly, aloy. and who would ever know what that means?
10:18 am
Haz1558

Hello Aloy!
10:18 am
Aloyisius

not me, lol..
10:18 am
Aloyisius

Hi Haz.. any buds of Spring evident there?
10:19 am
Haz1558

Yes, indeed. Lots of spring flowers begining to emerge.
10:19 am
Aloyisius

yay for that.. been a tuff winter!
10:20 am
Haz1558

It has indeed. We haven't suffered as badly as some parts, though.
10:20 am
Vicuna

Phone call, and I come back to your te6. Thanks, Aloy!
10:20 am
Aloyisius

wtg, Vicuna.. strange word recalled from other grids
10:21 am
Dorens

did you get that big snow that socked in London, haz?
10:21 am
Haz1558

No, we just had a light covering (about 2 inches) but it left quite quickly.
10:22 am
Vicuna

As soon as you said it, I knew exactly which word you meant.
10:22 am
Dorens

i just heard this morning we "might" get another 6 inches sunday night... and I am just finally seeing the last of my snow here
10:22 am
Haz1558

I hope the forecasters are wrong, Dorens.
10:23 am
Dorens

they certainly are frequently, and sounded so uncertain. time will tell
10:23 am
Aloyisius

that br4.6 is a newbie for me, and you can pl it too
10:23 am
Dorens

you mean the almost sweep alo?
10:24 am
Haz1558

I think I've seen it before, though it looks so unlikely.
10:24 am
Aloyisius

yup, sounds like a beer, lol
10:24 am
Vicuna

Ooo ooo, didn't have that, either.
10:24 am
Haz1558

It's how people over here pronounce Bureau (used to be the Unemployment Bureau, now shortened to 'He's on the br4/6'
10:25 am
Aloyisius

what's it mean, Vicuna?
10:25 am
Aloyisius

makes sense, Haz..
10:25 am
Vicuna

No def. given at the question mark.
10:25 am
Aloyisius

ok.. off to get my dict...
10:26 am
Haz1558

I'll be tickled if it's defined as 'Northern Ireland speak for bureau'
10:26 am
Aloyisius

it means
"broth"
10:26 am
Vicuna

Nor in my hard dictionary. So I think Haz's def must be it!
10:26 am
Vicuna

OH, Aloy's dictionary wins the prize!
10:26 am
Aloyisius

a synonym of "bree"... gheez
10:27 am
Dorens

oh... that actually makes sense
10:27 am
Haz1558

So, no excuse for us missing it again.
10:27 am
Vicuna

Ahh, bree. That's a much more common Babblet.
10:27 am
Aloyisius

Doren's , it is a Scrabble Players Dictionary
10:28 am
Vicuna

Does it have the te6? The question mark and my Webster's neither of them have that.
10:28 am
Aloyisius

now that I have the book, the te6 is "Aztec Temple"... but of course!
10:28 am
Dorens

didn't we all know that?
10:29 am
Vicuna

I figgered it was Aztec, actually. It definitely sounds it.
10:29 am
Aloyisius

yup, I just forgot that it was a synonym of "teocalli", (lol)
10:29 am
Vicuna

Or at least something pre-Columbian. I get them mixed up sometimes.
10:29 am
Dorens

allright. time for me to go. trying for some self-discipline here, and I alloted 1/2 hour for babble, then a couple of errands, then back again (my incentive for getting the errands done)
10:30 am
Vicuna

So noble, Doren!
10:30 am
Aloyisius

ciao for now, Dorens.. hagd
10:30 am
Dorens

we'll i'm trying vi. be back later.. happy babbling to you all
10:31 am
Vicuna

This grid does not flow. On the other hand, if the words don't flow, entering them sure flows better than yesterday.
10:31 am
Haz1558

Bye Dorens.
10:31 am
Vicuna

Bye, Doren!
10:32 am
Aloyisius

amen to that.. would not have finished yesterday's without Lickety's List as I just worked on that and entered whenever possible
10:32 am
FMitch

AFternoon all
Isn't it lovely not to see the red bars of doom today :)
10:32 am
Vicuna

Yeah, I found all the words separately and then took advantage of a lucid period to type them all in as feverishly as I could.
10:32 am
Vicuna

FIIIIIIIII!
10:32 am
Aloyisius

HIYA FMitch! So good to see you .. (-:
10:33 am
Vicuna

How are you?
10:33 am
Haz1558

Hello FM, yes, red was getting a bit tiresome yesterday.
10:33 am

Hi there Vi, Aloy and Haz!
10:33 am

oops, phone.. brb

Real life? Pshaw. What a shame!
10:34 am

10:35 am
Aloyisius

today is hubby's b'day, so the kids are calling..
10:35 am
Vicuna

Oh, I'm always dandy. Offspring have (with judicious application of bribery) agreed to humor their piano teacher by playing in a recital next week...
10:35 am
FMitch

Aloy lovely to see you too and Happy Birthday to Mr Aloy :)
10:35 am
Vicuna

But now I'm all stressed out that they'll mess up so badly they'll be scarred for life! lol
10:35 am
Aloyisius

thanks, FM.. I'll relay your felicitations.. (-:
10:36 am
Vicuna

Mine, too! Happy birthday, Mr Aloy!
10:36 am
FMitch

Will we be able to view the wunderkids on youtube and on the internaltion news Vi *grin*
10:36 am
Haz1558

Nonsense. They'll do beautifully and even if they don't, it's not a tragedy.
10:36 am
Haz1558

Happy birthday Vi!
10:36 am
FMitch

Your birthday Vi or your hubbys?
10:36 am
Aloyisius

wow... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Vicuna... you just missed being a Leap Year babe?
10:37 am
Vicuna

Their teacher seems to be hoping that they will be prodigious, but the rest of us have more modest goals. Of course *I* tell them it's fine to make mistakes, but I just want them to have fun!
10:37 am
hydra

Birthday good wishes from me too. Anyone got clue to the first do5,16 please?
10:37 am
Vicuna

No, no, my felicitations, too! My birthday's in July! lol
10:38 am
Aloyisius

oh, well early Happy B'day, then, lol..
10:38 am
FMitch

Phew, didn't think it was yours but that was a horrid moment there!
10:38 am
Vicuna

Gosh, I've never had so many birthday greetings. I'll have to store them all up... and learn to express myself less ambiguously.
10:38 am
Haz1558

I only have one do5/16, a plural.
10:39 am
Vicuna

Gosh! Looks like I need to get busy in the do5/16 department! *looking*
10:39 am
Aloyisius

do5.16 I have is a pl that ends with what Double Bubble is..
10:39 am
FMitch

There is only 1 x do5/16 which is a pl
10:40 am
Aloyisius

if you are old enough to remember that you could blow a lot of bubbles for a penny
10:40 am
Vicuna

Oh, okay. Thanks.
10:40 am
Aloyisius

wonder if that stuff is still made?
10:40 am
Aloyisius

my jaws would get sore
10:40 am
cherlyq63

yes, my kids get it and pay 29 cents lol
10:40 am
hydra

Lickety's list begins with a do5,16 and I can't get it at all. I've gotthe final one, thanks.
10:41 am
Vicuna

And that one is another word for do4/6 palm, a frightening tree, apparently.
10:41 am
FMitch

Hydra there was a mention of an extra word when lickety first put up the list
10:41 am
Haz1558

hydra, it may be the extra word spoken of earlier.
10:41 am
hydra

Oh! Thanks, FMitch nd Haz. That's probably it then.
10:42 am
phaeton

help with the right A?
10:42 am

You're welcome.
10:44 am
FMitch

There were so many phantoms today, a tricksy little grid to get our brains working again.
10:45 am
Vicuna

I felt quite haunted by all the phantoms.
10:45 am
Haz1558

You're right, FM. Just a nice size as well.
10:46 am
FMitch

and enough perplexing words too
10:47 am
Aloyisius

i like fa6: the realm for concert-going screaming teeny boppers
10:48 am
Haz1558

Give me a seat and a reverent hush....
10:48 am
FMitch

Oh yes that and it's pl kept me guessing for ages.
10:48 am
Aloyisius

who did you swoon for Haz?
10:48 am
hydra

Yes, I like that word too, Aloy. Almost a phantom, in fact!
10:48 am
Aloyisius

or is that in the present tense re George, lol
10:49 am
Vicuna

Did you swoon for a cr5/12 - er?
10:49 am
FMitch

LOL Hydra
10:49 am
Haz1558

Goodness, I'd have to think back about a million years.
10:49 am
Aloyisius

good one, Vi!
10:50 am
FMitch

LOl at Vi too
10:50 am
Vicuna

I was hoping co + bo4 would be how twins are brought into the world. But alas, not according to Enable.
10:51 am
hydra

I used to run fan magazines for David Cassidy, the Bay City Rollers, the Police and Starsky& Hutch! I worked for a publishing co.
10:51 am
Haz1558

My younger daughter was relating her experiences at a recent 'gig' in Edinburgh. She ended up feeling sick because of the heat/noise etc.
10:51 am
Aloyisius

didn't happen cuz the co7 were used, Vi..
10:51 am
Judi

Good day, Babblers. I see we've been cured of our hacker problem.
10:51 am

10:51 am
Haz1558

She was seeing someone called 'Little Boots' Needless to say, I'd never heard of her.
10:52 am

One fe, phaeton.
10:52 am
FMitch

1 phand - fe4/8
10:52 am

Well, Aloy, not in my case! lol
10:52 am
FMitch

Hi Judi
10:52 am
Aloyisius

LOL, Vi.. you have twins?
10:52 am
Vicuna

Did she sing "These boots are made for tiptoeing, and that's just what they'll do...."?
10:52 am
Vicuna

Yes, Aloy.
10:52 am
Haz1558

Twins of Glory. Known as the Togs.

Hydra that was an exclectic mix.
10:53 am
Aloyisius

very cool..
10:53 am
Vicuna

I like that, Haz. I'll have to tell my mother. She'll like it.
10:53 am
Haz1558

No idea, Vi. She's maybe an up and coming artist rather than well established.
10:53 am
FMitch

uh oh my sp is going already
10:54 am
Aloyisius

uh oh.. sp?
10:54 am
Vicuna

Well, FM, it was only a matter of time.
10:54 am
Haz1558

It's an interesting interpretation, FM. Kind of a mixture of eclectic, eccentric and excellent. We like it!
10:54 am
Aloyisius

oh, spelling, or is it speling? lol
10:54 am
FMitch

looool Haz
sp - spelling Alo (or in my case lack of it) :)
10:55 am
Vicuna

How perfectly that words describes our little Babble community,t hen.
10:55 am
FMitch

and now I can't even spell Aloy properly.
10:55 am
Vicuna

that word. Sigh. It's contagious, apparently.
10:55 am
Haz1558

In other words, as odd as can be....
10:55 am
Aloyisius

Alo is ok
10:56 am
hydra

26 left...
10:56 am

Hmm... TOGboy is agitating for lunch. Guess I'll get to work, then. Back later, all!

Pinkeye. Raging, getting worse, gland involvement and sore ear, the works. Only on the left. I have drops and advice but its eems to be getting worse. Caught it from the neighbor, who has already got better and said it never really bothered her much. How much would you charge to fly out here and remove my left eye?

I've been reading about that... not sure how neighbor Sarah would react but if it's not feeling better by tomorrow I may hit her up for some.
12:51 pm

Thanks, but that'd require a high-tech refrigeration box....
12:52 pm

i'd go knock on her door today if it were me! from experience, it does help, and does immediately soothe.

sure thing. have old friend from like, fourth grade, who has lived there for years (family doc at kaiser) who has some, but would always welcome yours. think we're staying at silverado (ken is big golfer as well as wine aficianado, so he likes it there, but i hear the restaurant there isn't so good)
2:05 pm
rururocks

the restaurant there sucks
2:06 pm
rururocks

I can help you with restaurants and wine tasting appointments
2:06 pm

exactly.. that's what larry says... but ken likes the hotel for other reasons, we don't have to eat there. okay, will discuss these things later, thanks
2:06 pm
rururocks

let me clarify that.. the restaurant @ Silverado CC really, really sucks
2:08 pm
Dorens

lol!! that is absolutely what larry said, must really be horrific. but the golf course is nice i guess and the location. I've been to Napa twice before, a long while ago, and silverado isn't the kind of place i used to go to.

7:04 pm

unfortunately, broadband in ireland is a very sore subject.....it's fine if you live in the cities or most of the towns, but in the rural areas it's a nightmare
7:05 pm

I thought Ireland was sort of the new tech and computer area? I guess not as much as they advertise it to be.
7:05 pm

it's the only problem with where we are living....otherwise wwe are renting a lovely little cottage on a dairy farm, beautiful scenery, friendly village and only 15 minutes from Kilkenny city.....but no flippin' broadband

wow, that's certainly some history stid. The family who own the farm the cottage is on are 7 generations here I think
7:17 pm

i agree, i think alzheimers is the cruelest disease.

stidmama

Matches -- did you get that or 5?
7:18 pm
welsh bookworm

hi tor, nice to meet you :)
7:18 pm
stidmama

that is neat! Unfortunately for me, most of my ancestors since the 1600s were the ones who kept moving west... never more than a couple generations in any once place. So I can't say I truly have a "home" the way others do.
7:18 pm
redturtlehead

Well, then theres things like ALS, lou gherigs disease...
7:18 pm

But it has been fun to learn where the family originated in various places.

dementia of various kinds is found in abundance in my family as well -- but most of it seems to be stroke-related rather than alzheimers. Still stinks though.

i think you lose iq points with each child, stid. then as a teacher you gain some back depending on the age group

7:22 pm
redturtlehead

yes, I think its just awful, theres no good way to reassure them often.
7:23 pm
stidmama

I think it is easier though to cope when the person who is out of control is not your own parent/grandparent. It's easier to not take it personally.
7:23 pm
welsh bookworm

I have nothing but admiration for those who work in mental health....I know I couldn't do it
7:24 pm

we spend a lot of time counseling caregivers that patients do not mean anything personal... or that they are not doing what they do on purpose
7:24 pm
stidmama

When my grandmother was close to the end (she had delirium, not dementia) it was very difficult to remember that her anger was not directed at me, personally... I am still sad that I could offer her little comfort beyond speaking what German I knew.
7:24 pm
lbdawger

that's why hospice and respite care is so important for families.
7:24 pm
redturtlehead

Yes, i dont take it personally, but man some of those older folks are pretty spry when they are upset. I am always afraid of being beaten.
7:24 pm
redturtlehead

rather bitten, usually, but they are very strong.
7:25 pm
stidmama

and for good reason, red -- people seem frail until they are panicked, and then the adrenaline (I guess) makes them strong.
7:25 pm
kje

the biggest problem red is that the ED environment is tailor made to make agitated patients or those prone to it worse... best thing is to keep them out of the ED whenever at all possible, and then get them out of it asap
7:25 pm
lbdawger

did you guys hear about the 70 y.o. lady who beat off 4 robbers with her Emeril frying pan?
7:26 pm
stidmama

yes, LBD, I did! that was sooooo great!

7:26 pm
welsh bookworm

at least you were able to offer some comfort stid. Sadly I couldn't get back in time to be with mum at the end although our daughter dropped everything and drove back to wales to be there. The irony was that before we finally managed to get mum taken into care, we were "her carers" and yet, both hubby and I are disabled, I'm in a wheelchair with several progressive conditions and hubby has spinal and leg problems too, so looking back, I don't know how we coped for as long as we did
7:26 pm

nope, but i heard about the 84 year old woman who threatened to shoot a robber here in dallas... he decided she meant it and left her alone

true stid... but if you are there, you cope... my patients get agitated and resulting medication all because the ED is a nightmare
7:28 pm

I like it Stid, the actual noise actually tends to soothe me greatly. That in itself is a little frightening, but the whirr of a vent and the hideous beeping of equipment is so familiar...
7:28 pm

wow welsh. I am sorry you couldn't be there. and impressed you could help her. progressive disabling conditions stink.
