The only reason it is not called Mexican flu,( where it originated) was to shore up the Mexican tourist trade. If everyone thought that a cheapo holiday to Mexico could end up with "swine flu" they would avoid it like the plague.!

7:43 am

we isolate them, as we do all influenza, but it is important to remember that more people (by far) have died from the usual Influenza A this year than the swine flu strain... people need to not get so freaked out just b/c the media talks about it a lot

what kind of mask is that, red - a plastic guard?
7:45 am
redturtlehead

I dont fit the other masks.
7:45 am
LynnNate08

tyty
7:46 am
redturtlehead

Its a mask specifically designed to filter out stuff. liek TB.
7:46 am
kje

plastic masks are frowned on... they usually result in asphyxiation
7:47 am

I guess I could get a halloween mask, but kids dislike them.
7:48 am
JBV

I haven't seen that one - and we are spending about a day a week in the hospital
7:49 am

depends on which company supplies the hospital. lots of colors and styles. I just have a wierd face, and can only wear that one.
7:50 am
LynnNate08

am 6?
7:50 am
kje

jbv - it doesn't really look like a duck bill, red exaggerates, though I can see the resemblance due to the fact the paper comes to an angle
7:51 am
kje

i think red should take a pic of her in it and post it!!!
7:51 am

We call them ducks.

afternoon all...arent those paper masks useless for the avoidance of flu germs?
7:53 am
redturtlehead

hair is importnt, as you have to wear it every day...
7:53 am
JBV

am 6 - sounds like a name - we had a police brutality case a few years ago - victim's name was am**** diallou
7:54 am
redturtlehead

Not at all. best way to avoid the flu though is to wash hands and avoid sticking fingers in face.
7:54 am
kje

rolin, there are different types of paper masks, and some have special filters - that is what red is talking about... we use them for flu, TB, chicken pox, etc
7:55 am
rolin

oh ok..maybe i just heard about the commercial ones
7:55 am
LynnNate08

not a clue on that am 6 perhaaps another one? sorry
7:55 am
redturtlehead

even the regular paper masks help stem the spread, if people with the flu use them, because it stops the spread when coughing...sneexzing.
7:55 am
kje

that is correct rolin... the ones painters use, or are sold at hardware stores, etc, do not work
7:55 am
redturtlehead

like a tissue.
7:55 am
JBV

hard to clue but can you google diallou?
7:55 am
rolin

iris
7:56 am
rolin

oops..sorry
7:56 am
kje

and red is correct too... you can catch droplets on the mask when they sneeze... but not as effective for the receivers
7:56 am
redturtlehead

Ahhhh! thanks Rolin!
7:56 am
kje

"cover your sneeze, please" - did your hospital run that campaign, red?
7:57 am
redturtlehead

We didnt. We essentially mask anyone who has a cough. if they dont comply, they cant get treatment.
7:58 am
kje

oh, this was for visitors... posters in elevators etc
7:58 am
redturtlehead

We had a "Wash your Dukes" campaign at Duke.
7:59 am

We mask the visitors too! and we do have a bunch of how to sneeze properly signage.

OH, NO! So sad! My de4 friend died of brain cancer in October leaving behind 3 kids ages 8 yrs, 4 yrs and 12 mo. She became ill in her 3rd trimester. Grieving in these cases is SO difficult. Any cause for death, car?

Just definitely one of those situations that leave me wondering Why...
10:55 am
Scrabbler

I spend every Tuesday afternoon and dinner with the kids. I promised Mary that I would love and guide her kids. The adults are struggling more than the kids although the kids will have longterm issues to cope with.

The eternal question: why do bad things happen to good people?
10:56 am

Being with the kids helps me with the grieving process. It is a way to honor Mary and to guide the kids. (crying now)

the fathers also need a lot of support - it must be very difficult for them to be strong for the children while suffering themselves

October 13th. I was one of several people at her side for those last 3 days. It still does not seem real, that someone could create a family, be so devoted to motherhood and then be plucked away.

11:01 am
Scrabbler

Car, get a group of people to help your friend and the boys--a weekly schedule that can be followed--meals, cleaning, activities, etc, and women such as you need to be surrogate mothers for those boys.
11:01 am
car.eeyore

Is she helping you....cheater!
11:01 am
secooper

she is actually kinda spazzy now and she is learning to play
11:02 am

That is the good thing...a tremendous support system from both sides of the family has already begun to develop.
11:02 am
car.eeyore

More coffee for both of you then!
11:03 am
Scrabbler

Create scrapbooks for each boy. Plant a memory tree and the boys can make and hang crafts, Easter eggs, Christmas ornaments. Plant a garden--we ma4 one for Mary and the older kids helped. Send balloons (with letters and drawings to Mom) to heaven.

Pros: pros: works better than the kindle for non U.S residents,back lighting is a nice touch,the touch screen makes it very easy for my vision impared wife along with the large home page fonts and several font size selections, back up buttons are nice:)

Cons: i thought hard and the only down side i can think of for the sony 700 reader is a matte finish occurs with the addition of the touch screen and causes a bit of glare in certain light conditions,but with kindle being for u.s only,this is the best bet
Summary: ok,im just going to list all the pros and cons of both the kindle and the sony 700 reader and my choice of the 700 reader will come clear.

kindle:

pros: clear non glare screen,easy access to both the battery and the add in sd storage card,long battery life(aprox 7200 pages),artwork that appears as a sort of screen saver

cons: this one is so big i have to capitalize it,THE KINDLE IS ONLY BEING SOLD TO u.S RESIDENTS AND YOU MUST HAVE BOTH A U.S ADDRESS AND A U.S CREDIT CARD AT TIME OF PURCHACE!

the reson for this is the kindles biggest selling feature,being able to download books wirelessly with out a computer relys on a u.s cell phone type service called rogers whispernet

the other minor cons are touchy page turn buttons that run along the side of the unit and the design of the thing is a tad ugly

sony 700


pros,the new touch screen eliminates the tiny little keyboard buttons that the kindle relys on,big clear option buttons on the home page,nice side lighting with 2 power selections,multiple font sizes for the vision impared,top end lithium-ion battery,sleek handsome unit design,dual storage card choices,power life is about the same as kindle(7200-7500 pages if you dont use the side lighting

cons

the only problematic con i can think of is that with the addition of the touch screen it made a matte finish to the page that can produce a glare in certain light conditions.the fact that it needs a computer and a usb cable to download books becomes a non issue since the kindle is for u.s consumers only
1:25 pm

I have a friend who's 95 yr old father is really thrilled with the Kimbel. He loves it so much he gave one to each of his kids for Christmas (and my friend hates it.

for example,since i own many books about 500 and have paid for each,in canada i can scan them all and make a sigle archival copy in any formatt i wish as long as i do not do more than one or make any profit from this action
1:37 pm
crosshair

i have many coming apart at the spines and this will save them for future reading goodness;)
1:38 pm
Nef

oh, crossy! If the books are coming apart at the spines, someone didn't open them right at the beginning! How sad!
1:38 pm

3 groaning book shelves;/ i shudder at the thought of ever moving again
1:41 pm
Nef

True. I was raised to respect books, and the woman who raised me was the County Superintendant of schools. Each summer any new books that came we kids would have to "break them in" properly.
1:42 pm
crosshair

what drives me nuts is when someone folds a cover of a soft cover book back upon itself,,and dont you dare fold the corners!
1:42 pm
crosshair

ill beat you silly with a book mark
1:42 pm
Nef

To do this, you hold the book on its' spine, then open the front X number of pages, and about the same number from the back, putting the cover and pages all the way down on the table.
1:43 pm
Nef

"Dog Ears!" That is indeed a crime!
1:43 pm
crosshair

i even have a special hook on each book case and it holds about 5 book marks each
1:44 pm
Nef

(back to breaking in the book: you keep opening and gently pressing the same # of pages until the middle of the book is opened and laying flat on the table)
1:44 pm
Soodlebum

Good evening babblers. Cross - have you been here all day????
1:45 pm
crosshair

been on all day soodle..doing file conversions that have been piling up as well
1:45 pm
Nef

doing it this way, the spine of the book is soft and supple and won't ever break.
1:45 pm
crosshair

i remember that way of book prep nef;))
1:45 pm
jmcnrick

I actually buy books for presents and then re4 them myself without even breaking their backs . . .
1:46 pm
Soodlebum

Good for you. I have been and gone and done all the Saturday stuff. Now back to babbling with a clear conscience....
1:46 pm
crosshair

i know a weird,stange person who i have gotten many books from ,as he will only ever read a book once and never again!!!
1:47 pm
Nef

jmc, if you use this technique, you can tell the person you give it to that you "prepared" it for them! ;-)
1:47 pm
crosshair

wise advice nef;)
1:48 pm
Soodlebum

wouldn't a Babble Book Club be a novelty? Folk could read the book, and then babble about it?
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

there are lots of books I want to re4 again (the pb must be getting quite crowded)
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

I re re4 Georgetter Heyer and Dickens and others
1:49 pm
Nef

and he gives them away? I rarely read a book (fiction) a second time; but I keep any book that touches my soul, or is something I want to refer back to (or lend out)

hello, sprite
1:58 pm

Soodle, it isn't fiction. It was "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (which I had to look up because I couldn't spell it!)
1:58 pm

hey BabbleRabble, glad to see you.
1:58 pm

hello Sprite

hi Soodle
1:59 pm
Soodlebum

Oh dear, Nef -doesn't sound like my sort of book. I'm very much a fiction- 'get away from it all' sort of book person!
2:00 pm
Nef

I loved that book and also "Wonderful Life" by Stephen Gould. Those 2 books took me completely by surprise. It may have been when i read them, but I still open them up and get carried away by them. :-)
2:02 pm
Nef

I *really* enjoy both Agatha Christie and Tony Hillerman for mystery fiction too.
2:02 pm
sprite

BabbleRabble, beautiful icon and quotes. Thanks.
2:02 pm
Soodlebum

Isnt it amazing how - at a particular time of you life - some books can just blow you away. At a dfferent time, they might just be books!!
2:03 pm
crosshair

when a book really grabs me,thats it im useless till i finish it
2:05 pm
Nef

Very true, Soodle. I have this very weird re**ing pattern: fiction in the summer, and non-fiction the rest of the time. I just can't re** non-fiction in the summer, nor can I tolerate fiction other times. <blushing at shameful secret>
2:05 pm
Soodlebum

Me too, Cross. I start living the life of the person in the book. (as if I didn't have enough drama in my own life - but escapism is very important to me!!
2:06 pm

My youngest daughter is dyslexic. It is breaking my heart to think of what she is missing out on in reading.
2:07 pm
Nef

how old is she, Soodle?
2:08 pm
Soodlebum

She is only 14. She refuses point blank to read - its just too much hassle to her. And at 14 - she says she is too old for her mam to read to her.
2:08 pm
crosshair

saddest words indeed
2:08 pm
crosshair

im not familliar with dyslexia,CAN they read?
2:09 pm
Nef

I have a dyslexic aunt who started to re** for the first time after she was 50. Her sister had given her Corrie Ten Booms' book "The Hiding Place" and she finally started to re**
2:09 pm
Soodlebum

With typical dyslexics -(and theres no such thing as a typical dyslexic) the letters they see on a page are all jumbled up. Suzie may see the letters GOD. But she will see them as DOG.
2:10 pm
Soodlebum

Its not life threatening or anything, but, it is a serious impediment to normal living
2:11 pm
Nef

yep. There are different technics to deal with it now. Many teachers will use tactile methiods whenre the child uses a sand box to form and feel the letters and that helps some; but there are other ways that help too
2:12 pm
Soodlebum

When Suzie was about 8 - I was helping her with her reading homework from school. the text said 'The boy crossed the road'. She read it as 'the boy crossed the street' - even tho the text said ROAD. Then it occurred to me, that she was memorising what they had learnt in school. It was a huge shock!
2:13 pm
Nef

and there are always audio books (which that aunt used all the time for road trips for about 20 ye***)
2:14 pm
crosshair

yes,there are many fine audio books;)
2:15 pm
Nef

Soodle! My dtr did that and we discovered it in 1st grade! Her teachers tutored her after school through 3rd grade, and then she took off on her own, But we never considered her dyslexic; she was just TOO much of a social butterfly to pay attention ion class!

2:18 pm
Soodlebum

Oooh. When I noticed Suzies Road/street thing, immediately I went to see her teacher. The teacher dismissed me. She tapped her long red fingernails on the desk, told me she was trained to spot dyslexia, and said that Suzie was 'merely slow'. She refused to recommend to have her assessed. I had to pay €800 for a private assessment - which came back that she was 'classicly dyslexic'. oooooh

no real idea. she was left at an abandoned house. i came and got her after nobody'd been back for a month.
3:49 pm

Not that she bothers me overmuch, but the bf is a bit overwhelmed by the number of critters... and the more that end up here permanently, the fewer i'm comfortable fostering.

Tudalen, if you go to the help pages right above the chat it really helps; then a lot of us use either Likety's BabbleClues or Babblers Anonymous (both found below the tile stats)

hi stid. Is that just a typical Nursing comment? It seemed so natural to me
6:01 pm

6:04 pm

thats a color isnt it?
6:04 pm
Nef

which is used *SO* often on a daily basis right? :-D
6:05 pm
Nef

it's a bright yellow green color Kaz
6:05 pm
stidmama

yes, a lovely bright-yellow-green that when overused becomes quite obnoxious
6:05 pm
stidmama

or what nef said
6:06 pm
Nef

yep. Not a color many people can wear (at least not if they are pale fair-skinned Minnesotans!
6:06 pm
stidmama

how are you kazozz? I wish you could hear the stidkid's Col. Pickering... he sounds very hoity-toity to me!
6:06 pm
stidmama

scandinavian grandparents, nef? there's a lot of very fair people around here for that reason
6:07 pm
stidmama

I am fair because of the dutch-irish-french/german ancestry...
6:08 pm
Kazozz

how has it been going for stidkid? I would love to hear it lol!! All good here..my son and I have our words down for cuckoo's nest and we have 11 days til opening night arghhh
6:08 pm
Nef

I was raised inNW MN. I do have Norwegian on the one side, but my mother's side were Irish (and they were the only Irish for miles around; they were the minority in the area. There were also Germans, and French Canadians there too
6:08 pm
Kazzer99

eventually i got back to get my last 5 and i have so its fireworks and time for bed
6:09 pm

How exciting for both of yor families!

stidkid is good -- cuckoo's nest as in one flew over? haven't ever read that, you know... but it sounds disturbing
6:09 pm

YAY Kazzer! WTG!!!

YAY kazzer!!!!

yes stid its very disturbing, but an excellent play...
6:10 pm
stidmama

well then, I hope your audience will be large and appreciative!
6:10 pm
Kazzer99

yeah found it on the web - pansies are one of my favorites but can never seem to grow them
6:11 pm
stidmama

with the economy as it is, the stidkid's show isn't as well attended as some in the past... the cast size is down too, for the same reason. Expensive to pay all the teachers and staff for these productions
6:11 pm
Nef

wow, Kazzer. I thought pansies were pretty much an indestructable plant!
6:11 pm
stidmama

I love pansies too -- they last okay for me. Until the MONSTER NORTHWEST SLUGS get to them, that is.
6:12 pm
stidmama

need 5 more, then must return to schoolwork. Next time I decide to take a double load of classes, will someone PLEASE shoot me?
6:12 pm
Nef

nope. stid, I'm non-violent
6:12 pm
Kazozz

I think we will be in the same boat as stidkid unfortunately! But having fun and it's all good experience for my son
6:12 pm
stidmama

drugs then? *she inquired, hopefully*
6:13 pm
Kazzer99

yes seems all my gardening efforts become slug food - but then they become hedgehog and frog food so we get our own back
6:13 pm
Kazozz

i have those stid lol
6:13 pm
Nef

how big are those slugs? (I've been worrying about that "Monster" size now
6:13 pm
stidmama

LOL most for us are about 5 or 6 inches, but some parts of the rainforest grow them big.
6:14 pm
stidmama

LOL wish we had hedgehogs around here, but the smaller critters are not generally so cuddly.
6:14 pm
Kazzer99

here its the little bu**ers you have to watch out for - they've even eaten my tomatoe, gooseberries and black currants
6:14 pm
Nef

5 or 6 inch long slugs? EWWWW!
6:14 pm
stidmama

yes, we have a few of those as well... but they run when they see me coming!
6:15 pm
Kazzer99

bet they explode spectacularly if you dose em with salt
6:15 pm
stidmama

well nef, it's either bigger slugs or fewer trees. I like trees!
6:15 pm
Nef

We use beer for slug traps here. It sounds like each slug would require their own can!
6:16 pm
stidmama

never had the heart to use salt, kazzer -- we get a sort of organic, bioavailable iron pellet that paralyzes the stomach
6:16 pm
Kazzer99

nef they'd probably gang up and have a shing dig in the woods
6:16 pm
stidmama

we had so many slugs that the beer traps seemed to just attract more to the garden. It was like a free bar. and then in the heat ... let's just say the smell was pretty amazing!
6:17 pm
Kazozz

*shuddering at thought of 6" slugs*
6:17 pm
Kazzer99

its conjures up a picture rather like the critters in Men In Black
6:17 pm
Nef

Kaz, can you imagine? a slug fest?!
6:17 pm

ewwww

i hate to bring the group down, but i have a personal problem i need some advice for. hope that it is ok. i found a lump in my breast last night. it is rather large. i had a mammogram two months ago, it was clean. i have two thoughts. it was there, i didn't notice and the doctors passed it off as nothing wrong - or....... it a very fast growing. i already know that i have to call the doctor first thing Monday. any thoughts? oh, and btw, i am a survivor - 15 years breast cancer.
8:05 pm

Hello joey!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

joey, do you do monthly breast exams? if it suddenly appeared, you could call the on-call doc this weekend; but try to remember when the last time you did your own breast exam and if you felt anything
8:09 pm
joey

i don't do it monthly, unfortunately, but i think that i am pretty body aware....... but........ it could have been there. it also could be scar tissue from the last surgeries. i am just a little on edge
8:10 pm
joey

it is mother daughter day tomorrow and the last thing that i want to do is tell my mom. she would worry worse than me
8:10 pm
Nef

what part of the breast is it in? Is it near the old surgical area?
8:11 pm
joey

previous ca was left, this is right, had a reduction and this could be there.
8:12 pm
wildcat17

hang in there ... I hope it turns out to be nothing worrisome
8:12 pm
joey

thanks
8:13 pm

I would guess that only an exam and a doctor can help figure this out. When you call Monday, be sure to get the mammogram results and the mammograms themselves too

jillibus

I have no prob with firefox
11:37 pm
angel13136

OK...brb
11:37 pm
dcseain

it claims memory, then doesn't use it properly, which eventually fills the memory and locks the program.
11:37 pm
dcseain

we oft have scores of tabs often in multiple windows, which may be why
11:37 pm
jillibus

dc, are you using a mac?
11:38 pm

11:45 pm
angel13136

just reset my icon...The little Angel (well, not so little - she's 15 now) took this picture.
11:46 pm
dcseain

cardiomyectomy, west - they'll remove 3.5cm from part of his heart
11:46 pm
westford

oh that is serious any reason they want to wait until Sept?
11:47 pm
dcseain

first available dates, an the need for some additional data gathering beforehand - bloodwork and like, and they want him to see an immunologist before surgery
11:47 pm
westford

let me refresh angel I can still see that beautiful pass to the water
11:47 pm
dcseain

DC, I'm wishing Tom an easy surgery. I worked CV-ICU for 28 years straight (34 yrs total ICU, first 6 yrs were mixed Med-Surg and CV- ICU) and had lots of pts. with heart surgery. What he's having done is so cool!
11:48 pm
westford

11:48 pm
angel13136

11:49 pm
dcseain

11:49 pm
angel13136

Nope - taken by my daughter, who is 15.

11:49 pm
PAV3

no sprinkles tonight...drove home from the east side with a "brown cloud" the sun was shining, but looked like combo fog-tornado weather
11:49 pm
westford

oh I see it is gorgeous
11:50 pm
westford

didn't know you got tornados in your neck of the woods
11:50 pm
Nef

Really? I was a CCRN for 28 years! I was one of the first 500 in the world! :-D
11:50 pm
angel13136

TY. She amazes me with her eye for photos.
11:50 pm
dcseain

way, cool Nef!
11:51 pm
jillibus

Can you see my new icon? If not, please refresh
11:51 pm
westford

seain where will he have the surgery there are so many good hospitals in your area
11:51 pm
PAV3

we shouldn't have tornados here in AZ, but they might have ocurred...most peolpe just freak out when seeing a wall of dirt behind or coming at them
11:51 pm
jillibus

dc -- surgery for Tom? I guess I issed something...
11:52 pm
westford

we had another downpour last night after a nice clear sunny day
11:52 pm
jillibus

*missed
11:52 pm
dcseain

At the Cleveland Clinic, west
11:52 pm
westford

I'm not familiar with that one
11:52 pm
jillibus

we need some downpours around here -- not the Wet Coast at this point.
11:53 pm
Nef

I first took the CCRN exam in 1978; took it in Butte Montana at the mining college there (I was going on vacation and heading out to see family; the test day was offered in 40 states back then). I was the only one who took it.
11:53 pm
dcseain

Cleveland and Mayo do most of the cardiomyectomies in the world, and he wanted to go to a facility that does that procedure regularly, so Cleveland it is. and i get to visit family and introduce him around while we're there. we dined with grandparents last time
11:53 pm
dcseain

how neat that must have been, nef :)
11:53 pm
westford

that works out well then seain
11:54 pm
Nef

(I was a Mayo when I first became a CCRN)
11:54 pm
westford

can't say enough good things about Mayo
11:54 pm
dcseain

how wonderful, Nef! how did you like working there?
11:55 pm
dcseain

He didn't want to travel that far, which is why Cleveland won, esp since people at the Nat'l Cardiomyopathy Assoc said both Cleveland and Mayo were great for the procedure.
11:56 pm
westford

I am not medically ept but it sounds as though he has an enlarged heart?
11:56 pm
jillibus

great word, ept
11:57 pm
westford

lol
11:57 pm
Nef

Honestly? I hated it. We moved back to the Cities; and the hospital I worked at for 28 years was much more advanced for decades in heart surgery. We did 7 different Jarvik-7's and I took care of the first woman to ever have one.
11:57 pm
dcseain

congenitally, yes, west. since birth. diagnosed at age 24, and getting the surgery at age 38.
11:58 pm
dcseain

what a fascinating career you've had Nef!
11:58 pm
Nef

what he has is a thickening of his septum (the vertical divider ) in his heart; right DC?
11:59 pm
dcseain

yes nef, septal cardiomyectomy is the specific procedure.
11:59 pm
westford

he's the opposite of the Grinch
11:59 pm
dcseain

indeed so, west
11:59 pm
Nef

we were "the cutting edge" hospital back in the 80's DC
11:59 pm
flosey

just reading back in the chatline, dc, thoughts and prayers with you and Tom
12:00 am
