3:29 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Lor :-) Only just started, so tend not to chat until I have a few under my throat.

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

Under my throat??? What am I thinking of? Under my belt I mean.

3:30 am

LoriP

lol, Mornin' Sally. ***hands her complimentary bagel***

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

MMM, goes well with my fresh coffee.

3:30 am

LoriP

***also hands her an espresso, to help with focus*** :)

3:31 am

LoriP

Belt, throat, whatevers!

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

** ooh, that's better. Enters ag6 immediately**

3:31 am

Atalante

lorikins!!

3:32 am

LoriP

Mata Hari! G'd morning. :)

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

Sulks

3:33 am

LoriP

The ag 6/24 Sally? :D

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

Yup, one square now grey.

3:33 am

Atalante

I introduced your lovely daughter to my best friend last night on msn. I think they both think they have a new friend.

3:33 am

LoriP

Yea for Sulking Sally!

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

lol Lori. *removes invisibility cloak*Good morning Ata

3:34 am

Atalante

hi sally!

3:34 am

mrpresident

miracle... we have clues on time!

3:34 am

LoriP

Oh Ata, Uni adores you. I wish I was rich. I'd love nothing more than to fly her across the pond to meet you.

3:35 am

Atalante

I adore her, and now Ayla adores her utterly too!

3:35 am

Atalante

we've already decided that somehow we're going to do a road trip when I move out to Oregon and come across to nova Scotia

3:36 am

LoriP

Uni is an old soul. Devoted, wonderful. She deserves more than I've been able to offer.

3:37 am

Atalante

ayla was amazed how young she is in real life. It was quite funny, I pulled them both into an msn conversation and about 2 minutes later I sat there and just watched as they wittered away to each other :)

3:38 am

LoriP

lol, sounds like her.

3:39 am

LoriP

Did it come to the "Ata who?" point? :p

3:40 am

Atalante

yeah, pretty much :D lol. did I care? not a bit!

3:40 am

LoriP

I'd love to win the Loto, and send her to study for a year in England. I think she'd love it.

3:41 am

LoriP

It's funny how sometimes people click, isn't it? Even better when it's a tight circle you're in, as it were. Beats friction any day of the week....

3:41 am

Atalante

she really would. and there *are* strange scholarships available for people to study here. If she found a course or two she would really want to do, she could easily talk to the universities and see what could be available

3:42 am

LoriP

Sally, I almost asked you for the 3rd a.....***Glad I didn't, fish city....*** :p

3:42 am

Atalante

tunas everywhere!

3:43 am

LoriP

It was a major DENSA moment to be sure.

3:45 am

LoriP

10:22 am

10:22 am

Vicuna

Wassup, Ataaaaaa?

10:23 am

Atalante

*yaaaaaaawn* trying to get up the enthusiasm to paint

10:23 am

nrkii

first 2 of the 9 please?

10:23 am

Atalante

th9/60

10:23 am

Atalante

it's a VERY odd word

10:23 am

Vicuna

Oh dear. If you lack enthusiasm, must you do it now?

10:23 am

Atalante

no, but I've got to start at some point :)

10:24 am

nrkii

thanks... will get monkey working on that

10:24 am

Boobear

clue for th 9 pls

10:24 am

Atalante

I'm doing some drop capitals for book chapters and I need to do an "I" using flowers / plants / trees, and I don't like either ivy or iris. So I'm rebelling

10:25 am

Atalante

th5/12 + double vowel + cup of *** (phonetic)

10:27 am

PMS

i for ilex

10:27 am

Vicuna

Hmm... what about Iceland poppy, or impatiens?

10:28 am

Atalante

oooo Iceland poppy - I wonder if I could get away with that!

10:29 am

Atalante

I could be really smart alec and use Ilex - scientific name for holly - but I think that might get confused looks

10:30 am

nrkii

damn OID ending... grrrrr.... 9 to go

10:30 am

Vicuna

If you actually have to come up with a plant for every letter of the alphabet you'll have to resort to scientific names somewhere along the line. Or do you only need the letters that happen to start the first word of the chapters?

10:30 am

Jen34

finally got the th 9 -- weird!! :o)

10:30 am

Atalante

just the letters for the chapters, luckily!

10:31 am

lizmac

Hi, has anyone got a clue for the GE5, please?

10:31 am

nrkii

make the author change the first word Ata

10:31 am

bichon

ge + robotic ending

10:31 am

Vicuna

lol, nrkii!

10:31 am

nrkii

ge5 = ge + the ending I was just growling about

10:32 am

Vicuna

What sort of book is it?

10:32 am

bichon

ho 5/12, the 3rd one?

10:32 am

Atalante

it's a biography of a market gardener :)

10:33 am

lizmac

Thanks very much.

10:33 am

nrkii

3rd one is what an owl does

10:33 am

Jen34

yeah, i missed that plural, too -- in a different direction

10:33 am

bichon

then the one after [second from the end]

10:34 am

nrkii

ho + not buy, but ***l

10:34 am

Ah. So maybe Italian parsley or iceberg lettuce? lol

Alas, I doesn't give you much to work with anyway.

10:37 am

Vicuna

Hello, mymuseisme.

10:37 am

Vicuna

Bye, nrk.

10:37 am

Atalante

it really doesn't!

10:39 am

Atalante

I like letters like H where I have so much choice - I'm trying to decide between hops, hazel and holly. and honesty

10:40 am

Vicuna

Yes, words really aren't fairly apportioned by initial letter.

10:40 am

Vicuna

If you go with ilex you get holly and another H, too.

10:41 am

Vicuna

I was toying with an alphabet of animals at one point, but it just got frustrating that I'd have to leave so many good ones out because their letter was already claimed.

10:41 am

Atalante

that's my sneaky thought ...

10:41 am

Atalante

I know. It's not fair

10:41 am

Vicuna

and you can't even fudge with scientific names on animals, because they aren't nearly as commonly known as the plant ones are.

10:43 am

Atalante

nope!

10:45 am

mymuseisme

I scrolled back ... Ata there is also flower called Indian paintbrush

10:45 am

Vicuna

I hate k. In the grid, not in plant names... and that train of thought found me 2 k words. =)

10:45 am

Vicuna

Oh, good one, mymuse.

10:46 am

Atalante

oooo! *looks it up*

10:48 am

BabbleRabble

Hi BabRab :)

BabbleRabble

Hello

10:51 am

Vicuna

How many chapters does the book have?

10:51 am

Atalante

it's 300ish pages, so ... about 10 probably

10:52 am

Vicuna

How many of these letters are you doing?

10:52 am

Atalante

I and H feature prominently as chapter headings, I know. and the last few chapters haven't been written yet lol

10:52 am

Atalante

so we're going to have chaos around Christmas at a guess

10:53 am

Vicuna

Oh! lol In that case, use nrkii's idea and encourage the author to start chapters with words you like! =D

10:53 am

Atalante

going to! :P

10:53 am

Atalante

i've done S, B, A so far

10:54 am

Vicuna

what plants?

10:54 am

Atalante

s is wild strawberry, b = bryony and a = apple

Vicuna

Lovely.

10:56 am

elemce2

often seen in econ textbooks

10:56 am

Vicuna

like what a hypothetical factory makes

10:56 am

Vicuna

rhymes with Irish saintess

10:56 am

Boobear

sorry i draw a complete blank

10:57 am

rhymes with a tv robot little girl

10:58 am

Atalante

thing in the bottom of beer cans

10:58 am

Vicuna

or very short person

10:58 am

Vicuna

or early Sally Fields role

10:59 am

10:59 am

Vicuna

10:59 am

Atalante

LOL

11:00 am

Tulipp

Writing in chat for the very first time ever because I'm getting such a kick out of the rhyming. Now back to my obscurity.

11:02 am

Vicuna

Well, I'm out of ideas now, I'm afraid. =)

11:03 am

Atalante

rhymes with what you do to blu-tack to stick things to a wall. that's probably too english though

11:03 am

Vicuna

Unless you start rhyming the two-word things, as in "when they make the middle of corrugated cardboard, why do they r---- --?"

11:03 am

Vicuna

Hmm, I just sort of knead it, Ata. Don't know what you Brits do to it!

11:04 am

Atalante

I was thinking of a sq word lol

11:04 am

Vicuna

If you don't want that egg salad to go bad, you'd better fr---- it!

11:04 am

Vicuna

Oops, I may have said too much. Serves me right for getting carried away.

Goodness, look at the time! No wonder I'm hungry.

11:07 am

Atalante

at least you know what blu-tack is!

11:09 am

Vicuna

Yep. It's got various brand names here. I prefer the white stuff, myself, though.

11:09 am

Atalante

I had to explain to my oregonian friends lol

11:09 am

Vicuna

Great for putting up labels at art shows.

11:09 am

11:12 am

Atalante

11:12 am

TraderKate

Glow-in-the-dark silly putty!

TraderKate

11:15 am

Tulipp

Oh, no. I've been reading you all's chats for a looooong time. ;)

11:15 am

Vicuna

Come on, TraderKate, Tulipp is made of sterner stuff, I'm sure.

11:17 am

Vicuna

Gosh, I have no te's! Must remedy the situation... *dives back into grid*

11:17 am

Tulipp

I've been babbling off and on for years, but usually I'm rushing, so I just use you all for your clues and contribute nothing to the conversation. I'm selfish like that. Perhaps I'lll try more now.

11:18 am

mymuseisme

11:20 am

Vicuna

(Nah, Tulipp, it's okay to chat as much or as little as you like. But you're always welcome to join in the silliness or the cluing.)

11:21 am

Vicuna

Bye, Tulipp! See you later!

11:21 am

TraderKate

if you asked I'm sure we'd be happy to clue you as needed tulipp, and it would cut down your time a bit..,that's your justification =)

caitlyn

Ata!! How are you

11:27 am

Atalante

When the buffalo herds start skating, though, that's when you've got to move out of the way.

Was that Welch's jam you were pelted with?

11:36 am

TraderKate

welsh, sorry

11:37 am

TraderKate

you know my typing is horrid

11:37 am

Vicuna

Frankly, I'm not sure it's godly to pelt folks with jam at any hour of the morning.

11:37 am

TraderKate

grape stains everywhere...not a pretty sight

11:37 am

It is against Babble laws

11:38 am

You need an entire tin foil raincoat.

this is not about me, btw... for a med student ethics case

TraderKate

hi narnia

11:39 am

Vicuna

Hello, narnia queen.

11:40 am

kje

how many of you would not like it if your doc had a pierced nose with a stud in it?

11:40 am

caitlyn

It is now know as Llanfair pg

11:40 am

TraderKate

me

11:40 am

TraderKate

aacckk

11:40 am

Vicuna

Don't think I'd care, as long as she looked generally clean and well-kmpt.

11:40 am

caitlyn

Male or female?

11:40 am

Atalante

Llangernyw!

11:40 am

Vicuna

kempt.

11:40 am

Atalante

I wouldn't care

11:40 am

narnia queen

It would give me the creeps.

11:40 am

kje

lets say female

11:40 am

TraderKate

but a 20 something probably wouldn't mind

11:41 am

caitlyn

I think it would depend if the Dr was a good doctor

11:41 am

Atalante

Ystumllwynarth!

11:41 am

TraderKate

they are becoming more main-stream, but personally they give me the willies.

11:41 am

kje

well, point being, you don't know at first glance, right?

11:42 am

Atalante

stud I really wouldn't mind, nose ring for some reason would be a bit strange

11:42 am

Vicuna

I wouldn't care for an entire goth or punk look with the weird hair products and greasy make-up and all, but plain piercing in the nose isn't any different from a plain piercing in the ear.

11:42 am

caitlyn

No you dont

11:42 am

TraderKate

oh no i'm melting...look what you've done to my beaytiful wickedness ata!!!

11:42 am

kje

ok - second question - what about a guy with a tattoo that you can see... say on the wrist?

11:42 am

caitlyn

That doesnt bother me either

11:42 am

Atalante

fine, again, as long as it wasn't a tat saying heil hitler or something

11:42 am

kje

male doc i mean

11:43 am

torgone

Would not want my Doc to have body mods ..

11:43 am

Vicuna

I don't like tattoos, but I don't see that they have much correlation with medical skill.

11:43 am

narnia queen

I don't mind a tattoo, so long as it was appropriate.

11:43 am

torgone

Except maybe implants ..

11:43 am

TraderKate

wouldn't bother as much , but what is tatto?...a professional image is important

11:43 am

Vicuna

*kicks torgone gently in the shins*

11:43 am

BabbleRabble

whenever I see a nose stud, I wonder why modern medicine has not found a better way to fill that hole

11:43 am

caitlyn

Hi tor

11:44 am

kje

last question - what if the doctor had suffered a burn when younger and had bad facial scars?

nose piercing, belly ring make me queasy

11:44 am

crosshair

i dont get tattoo,s simply because i really dont think the police really need more ways to identify me:))

11:44 am

caitlyn

The same answer, it depends if the Dr is good or not

11:44 am

Atalante

I think most people would have a momentary shock, but if they are a good doctor, they could have 1 leg and 2 heads for all I care

11:44 am

TraderKate

scars, np, the others are ornamental and there by personal choice

11:44 am

narnia queen

That would be fine.

11:45 am

TraderKate

LMAO crossy!

11:45 am

I want to vote

11:45 am

Look, everybody likes people to be attractive, but you get past it when you get to know someone.

11:45 am

EspritdJean

I vote - no problem for any of those 3 things

11:45 am

caitlyn

LOL crossy

11:45 am

Vicuna

I dunno, Ata, two heads might be a bit much. What if both of them had piercings?

11:45 am

TraderKate

i vote crossy gets a belly button ring

11:46 am

Atalante

oooooo good question

11:46 am

crosshair

plus i have more stitching than a baseball and i imagine putting ink on all of that wont help things any

11:46 am

TraderKate

Dr. Zaphod Beeblebrox...

11:46 am

torgone

Scars would not bother me ..

11:46 am

kje

it is interesting in a way, cuz most med schools/hospitals have dress codes that include personal body appearance (not just clothes) - yet, if we broadened those, others would be offended... and clearly, have been used in past to exclude groups

11:46 am

narnia queen

If my doctor had two heads both with piercings i would hope it was all a bad dream.

11:46 am

crosshair

zaphod is my hero..now where did i put my travel blanket?....

11:47 am

Vicuna

Or maybe one head could be extremely clean-cut and traditional, and the other head could be a little trendier, to appeal to everyone.

11:47 am

TraderKate

are you trying to ascertain staring quotient?

11:47 am

TraderKate

towel crossy, towel

11:47 am

caitlyn

LOL Vi

11:47 am

crosshair

you can be my spell check kate

11:47 am

BabbleRabble

I would not stop going to any of the three if I thought I was getting good care, just like any other doctor

11:47 am

TraderKate

why stop there? make one head male and the other female!!

11:48 am

kje

ie: what about head scarves, a cross necklace, a dawrf, a black person in a traditional southern white community (or vice versa), or an asian in a VA hsopital that serves older vets.... all these scenarios have been raised

11:48 am

Vicuna

What I do always find very unappealing, though, is nurses who smell like cigarettes.

11:48 am

TraderKate

what is this situational ethics 101?

11:49 am

elemce2

my .02: if I thought the doc was good, none of those things would bother me. BUT, I do care if the doc gives off an overall vibe of professionalism, and those things would impact that. I love that my doctor wears a suit, for example, and shakes my hand.

11:49 am

TraderKate

agree with elem

11:49 am

caitlyn

I agree with you elemce

11:49 am

Haz1558

I don't think I would stop going to the doctor because he/she had piercings or tattoos, even though I'm not keen. I want them to be clean, be well groomed and generally giving me confidence that they don't have more problems than I do.

11:49 am

Vicuna

I'd say a general air of competence and professionalism trumps everything else.

11:50 am

kje

but you don't know if a doc is good for a long time, judgements are made way before then

11:50 am

BabbleRabble

I agree, with Haz

11:50 am

caitlyn

Hi Haz

11:50 am

Vicuna

Hello, Haz!

11:50 am

haz!!!!!11111!!!

Haz1558

Hello everyone!

11:50 am

LOL haz - "don't have more problems thatn I do" - can I quote that?

11:50 am

crosshair

will have to ask scrabbs if she has a belly button ring;))

11:50 am

Haz1558

You can quote me!

11:51 am

EspritdJean

wgat if you had a Hindi doctor in whose culture women pierce their noses?

11:51 am

Atalante

what I really don't like is not being to *understand* a doctor because of a strong non-national accent

11:51 am

Haz1558

I need to change my icon, I forgot.

11:51 am

Vicuna

What's the icon pic, Haz?

11:51 am

kje

lots of older patients cite that one ata

11:51 am

mymuseisme

Hi Haz and kj :)

11:51 am

BabbleRabble

well, is there going to be a sign that says: doctor has pieced nose, enter at your own risk.

11:51 am

kje

oops - not syaing you are old!!!

11:51 am

kje

hi muse

11:51 am

Vicuna

lol, BabRab

11:52 am

Atalante

lmao

11:52 am

Atalante

we have 1 doctor in our surgery that I seriously can *not* understand not her fault, I know, but still ...

11:52 am

kje

thanks guys, just wanted a mini "lay" perspective to get in gear for this student session

11:52 am

crosshair

i really dont care if my oncology doctore has the flag tatooed on his arse and plays with barn animals in his spare time as long as he is good where it counts

11:52 am

narnia queen

Are you a med school teacher Kje.

11:53 am

ch1212

LOL crossy! I agree!

11:53 am

Haz1558

New icon pic - to celebrate 40 years of Riding for the Disabled Association.

11:53 am

caitlyn

Well said crossy

11:53 am

Vicuna

Akin to Haz's comment, doctor's have to look like they take care of themselves, or it does not inspire confidence.

11:53 am

kje

personally, I dress very conservative and have no piercings (except ears), no tats, etc... but it wouldn't bother me if my doc had piercings or tats, or longer hair, etc, as long as they were clean and behaved professionally

11:54 am

Vicuna

(Argh! where'd that apostrophe come from?)

11:54 am

Haz1558

That's what I was wondering...

11:54 am

EspritdJean

not really an ethics issue though, is it?

11:54 am

Vicuna

*cringes in shame*

11:54 am

kje

i think it is more of a generational or conservatove/liberal approach to life issue than a true professionalism issue

11:54 am

ch1212

On the other hand, if I had "House" for a doctor, I don't know that I would trust him based on his bedside manner!

11:54 am

Haz1558

Back in couple of minutes.

11:54 am

caitlyn

Sneaky apostrophes

11:55 am

crosshair

id take house if he would share his vicodin

11:55 am

kje

well, jean - some feel it is - there should be nothing that makes the patient uncomfortable

11:55 am

kje

but i do not fully prescribe to that depending on the situation (ie: bigotry, etc)

11:55 am

BabbleRabble

a doctor/patient relationship has to engender confidence ... doctors need to consider what accouterments might prevent a more beneficial relationship

11:55 am

EspritdJean

sounds like one big can of worms

11:56 am

ch1212

rofl corssy!

11:56 am

ch1212

I mean... crossy! (see? I can barely type, laughing so hard)

11:56 am

narnia queen

Doctors in general make me uncomfortable because so many of them act like they are smarter than you and are condescending.

11:56 am

caitlyn

What I find annoying with doctors is when they get the look of boredom on their faces.

11:56 am

kje

i mostly agree BR - but did have a patient who refused to see one of our middle eastern heritage interns after 9/11 - i don't think that kind of thing has to be tolerated

11:57 am

crosshair

not really esprit all kidding aside,ive been teen by dr,s with tatts,turbans,stockings on head,suits,jeans and t-shirt and many other combos i cannot remember

11:57 am

crosshair

seen

11:57 am

kje

well, then caitlyn, i suggest you try harder not to be boring ; )

11:57 am

EspritdJean

one of the doctors in our practice did not want to see patients of that heritage!

11:57 am

BabbleRabble

but being middle eastern is not a choice

11:57 am

kje

I wouldn't tolerate that either jean

11:58 am

EspritdJean

(totally elective treatment practice)

11:58 am

caitlyn

LOL I dont go very often kje

11:58 am

Atalante

I could understand that for maybe a month after 9/11. After that, get over it

11:58 am

crosshair

unless that doctor was driving the plane by remote i will not condem him for his heratige

11:59 am

kje

we actually spoke in private to the patient, and he apologized saying he realized it was ridiculous, and then agreed to see the doc... and had him as his PCP for over 2 years

11:59 am

BabbleRabble

good for you, kje

11:59 am

kje

alternative would have been to go find another medical practice as we just can't put trainees in that position

11:59 am

ch1212

excellent way to handle it, kje.

11:59 am

narnia queen

Do you run a practice Kje?

12:00 pm

BabbleRabble

intolerance is a plague that all of us must work to understand and defeat

12:00 pm

we have two male doctors in this area who are in private life a married couple now.both excellet dr,s in thier field

12:01 pm

kje

no narnia - i am medical school faculty - back in 2001, i was in baltimore, not texas

12:01 pm

narnia queen

O.K. I am thinking about entering the nursing program for colllege.

12:02 pm

caitlyn

But I bet they have face a lot of bigotry crossy

12:02 pm

ch1212

Although ... (I always like to think about other perspectives) would anyone fault a patient for requesting a particular gender? I myself prefer a female doctor.

12:02 pm

kje

undoubtedly cailyn...

12:02 pm

crosshair

not anymore caitlyn,remember we have been marrying same sex here for 2 or 3 years now

12:02 pm

ch1212

Or a doctor who is very young, or very old?

12:03 pm

Atalante

I always ask for a female doctor, because that makes me feel more comfortable. But I won't throw a fit if I see a male doctor

12:03 pm

kje

OK, I must run... should be a stimulating discussion, if nothing else...

12:03 pm

caitlyn

The same over here also crossy

12:03 pm

narnia queen

Have to go all.

At our practice there is no choice we only have male doctore

12:04 pm

Atalante

we have 2 female drs and about 10 male

12:04 pm

kje

a colleague told me when she was a resident a patient needed a proceduer (needle drainage) and said they didn't want her to do it (she is black) but wanted (pointed to white med student) them to do it.... she said she was tempted to let him have his wish

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Bye narnia

12:05 pm

TraderKate

LOL

12:05 pm

kje

instead she explained that the student had never done the procedure and she was quite experienced, and the patient wisely changed his mind - LOL

12:05 pm

crosshair

mindset change is slow in some places im sure kje

12:05 pm

TraderKate

she should have!

12:05 pm

caitlyn

My spelling and grammer tonight is rubbish!! Thats because Im not really here.

12:06 pm

ch1212

At my health clinic's web site, there is a page for each doctor, with their personal "statements", and their histories, and their photos. It was clear that patients could browse available doctors based on a number of irrelevant criteria.

12:06 pm

kje

OK, well tell caitlyn we said hello when you see her, not-really-here

hate to hit you up for med advice scrabbs,but at what point should i give up treating this like a normal flu and maybe get a dr to peek at us? im in day 7,wife is in day 3 head ,chest, body aches,lots of rattling and wheezing,but we do have ventolin in the house and are taking all the standard things,tylenol for fevers, lots of liquids etc,we are eating ok,no vomiting etc.i think we are in safe catagory regardless,under 60,no heart or bp issues,no diabetes, i hate like hell to bug them at the clinic,they must be up to thier armpits with sniffles and coughs

12:37 pm

Scrabbler

If worsening, SOB, fever x > 5 days---get checked.

12:37 pm

Are you using Ventolin? If so, is it helping the wheezing?

12:39 pm

EvaNadine

hiya scrabbler. :)

12:39 pm

Scrabbler

The problem with seeking medical care is that a patient-pleasing doc may throw you on unneeded antibiotics or unnecessary tests. So if you are not worsening then continue with "supportive care" = hydration, analgesia, rest

12:39 pm

crosshair

crossy whistles like a tea kettle;)

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

*pumps Ata full of (looks at scrabs messages) ventolin and points her back at the laundry*

12:46 pm

TraderKate

Scrabbler

Why, Cross? C diff is rather common, esp with inappropriate use of antibiotics

12:47 pm

TraderKate

HOW'D your first day go scrabs? haven't seen you...

12:47 pm

periwinkle

that makes 3 of us then, Ata :)

12:47 pm

Scrabbler

It's happening now, Kate, because docs want to make patients happy and prescribe antibiotics inappropriately

12:47 pm

lynxxx

what is C diff?

12:48 pm

crosshair

scrabs...we've had several bad outbreaks of c. diff. up here in ontario and quebec with many deaths...hospitals and nursing homes...it's been in news on and off for aboiut 1 1/2 yrs.

12:51 pm

Scrabbler

C diff infections can herald the beginning of the end for old or debilitated folks---bedrest, poor nutrition, bladder infections, pneumonia follow, then death

12:51 pm

cjmomma

1:09 pm

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

2:09 pm

lynxxx

did you check out Jes's photo Ata, so much like yours

2:09 pm

Atalante

I did! that brought back memories

2:10 pm

jesdraggon

? Mine's a deer, her's is a dog...

2:10 pm

Atalante

I rescued a white tail fawn though as well :)

2:10 pm

jesdraggon

ah! i see

2:10 pm

lynxxx

lol Jes, you are not silly

2:11 pm

jesdraggon

i'm not?

2:11 pm

yay got hi7

i've got hi4...

2:13 pm

2 hi4 - anagrams, hi7 builds on the 1st of those

2:14 pm

i still see the dog when i open your profile :(

2:14 pm

Atalante

wah

2:15 pm

lynxxx

I can see it OK

2:15 pm

jesdraggon

i can tell from the little one that it's a person holding a critter... but can't see much. i reloaded and it still doesn't do it :(

2:16 pm

Atalante

i'#ll get you a url - 2 secs

2:17 pm

Atalante

http://tinyurl.com/yejgaem there!

2:18 pm

jesdraggon

she's cute :) what'd you do with her?

2:18 pm

Atalante

astoria wildlife rescue took her

2:18 pm

jesdraggon

cool

2:19 pm

Atalante

she sat on my lap for 40 mins from near Longview and the I5 back to Astoria! they have a semi-open door policy, and 6 same aged fawns

2:19 pm

Atalante

so she should have a good life

2:20 pm

jesdraggon

always best to get them grouped with other fawns so they learn to be deer :)

2:20 pm

Atalante

absolutely!

2:21 pm

Atalante

they reckoned it was 2 or 3 months old, so hopefully she'll forget the day of trauma and human contact

2:22 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; if they aren't around people very long, and get back to being with other deer, they usually do okay

2:23 pm

Atalante

wonderful!

2:23 pm

lynxxx

can they become domesticated?

2:23 pm

jesdraggon

tamed, in theory. domesticated actually means that there are genetic differences from the wild population, so no

2:23 pm

lynxxx

or should I say - dependent on humans?

2:24 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, and that's one of the huge worries of wildlife work. if they start thinking humans are good and never learn to fend for themselves, they don't do well. get into trouble and/or starve

2:24 pm

Atalante

there is a wonderful blog about a couple who brought up a young deer - let me find it - it's a wonderful read

2:25 pm

jesdraggon

if you get them young, and handle them too much, they "impress" on humans, and come rutting, the bucks'll be up on your porch chasing the women around.

2:25 pm

Atalante

(but they quickly started loosing him into the wild, they didn't keep him as a pet)

2:25 pm

lynxxx

thanks - for some reason I had forgotten they can be farmed

2:26 pm

jesdraggon

takes lots of special permits, but yeah. elk and buffalo too

2:26 pm

lynxxx

lol, that's a bit dangerous!

2:26 pm

jesdraggon

it is. and it can get humans hurt and the deer put down, so we want to be really careful not to do that!

2:29 pm

lynxxx

so apart from eating gardens are deer an issue to people?

2:30 pm

jesdraggon

well, there's eating gardens, and getting in the road, and stomping on dogs, and breaking down fences. breaking branches in orchards, that sort of thing

2:31 pm

lynxxx

another earthquake ! looks way more serious

2:31 pm

jesdraggon

where at?

2:31 pm

Sumatra - they say deaths may be over 1000...highly populated

2:32 pm

Atalante

they took their main blog down :( but there's a few pics!

2:33 pm

jesdraggon

have to say that I disagree quite strongly with some of the things they're doing on in those photos.

2:33 pm

jesdraggon

no good, lynxxx :(

2:34 pm

Atalante

yes, me too

2:34 pm

jesdraggon

for instance, deer that are not scared of dogs get eaten by coyotes

2:35 pm

Atalante

keeping the deer at home was a stupid thing to do in the first place, but really you need the whole blog, it becomes more about deer behaviour than doing silly things to deer

2:37 pm

jesdraggon

that's good

2:39 pm

jesdraggon

and looks like lunch break ends at half past today. yay for people breeding random dogs in their back yards with no money for c-sections. *headdesk*

I'd wandered off again and it seemed to be nose blowing time in our house. Heard son blowing his at same time as me. Neither of my kids has inherited their father's big nose (my little one having tempered it in utero) but Son has inherited his Dad's sneezing and nose blowing technique, which sounds like a fanfare of trumpets.:(

Hiya Red

8:29 pm

Jacula

Ata - I finally succumbed to being given 3 months' worth of HRT to combat the constant night sweats. 3 weeks in, I'm hallucinating every time I'm at the point of dropping off from waking to sleepiing.

8:29 pm

CiociaJudy

washer is calling; wish it would learn to sing LOL brb

8:30 pm

CiociaJudy

Jac - I just got off HRT a few months ago

8:30 pm

Jacula

Scares the shit out of me and makes me get up again. Haven't had any hot flushes though! *hysterical laugh*

8:30 pm

Trifioso

did you have to wean off, judy, or can you cold turkey HRT?

8:31 pm

Trifioso

my mom called them "power surges" jacula, if that helps at all

8:31 pm

Jacula

Judy - did it give you hallucinations, stomach pains and nausea?

8:31 pm

DR1965

gonna make dinner- bbs

8:31 pm

lbdawger

Happy birthday MRP and babble!

8:31 pm

Jacula

Trif - if you cold turkey HRT, you get the period to end all periods, I'm told.

8:32 pm

Jacula

I think I may have left it too long before the hrt ( a few years) and that's why I'm having the symptoms I'm having. I perhaps should have sat it out and lt nature take its course.

8:33 pm

CiociaJudy

No hallucinations, stomach pain or nausea. had to wean myself off it. Been on it a few years. Needed it because of sleep issues

8:33 pm

lbdawger

You may want to talk to your doctor about the dosage, jac. as well as any other meds you might be taking that might be counterindicative to the hrt

8:33 pm

CiociaJudy

My dosage was low and I used the patch

8:33 pm

Jacula

lbd - I'm on Premique Low Dose.

8:34 pm

CiociaJudy

crap, I can see the box in my mind but can't think of the name of what I was on! LOL just love these menopausal lapses

8:34 pm

lbdawger

are you taking any other meds, even over the counter or herbals? they too can play havoc with the hrt

8:35 pm

lbdawger

gotta love half timers, CJ

8:35 pm

CiociaJudy

ROFL Dawg. Yep. That's what I call it, too

8:35 pm

Jacula

It'ss stopped the hot flushes/flashes, and, most importantly, the night sweats on the hour every hour, but I'm still not sure about it.

8:36 pm

CiociaJudy

Vivelle Dot

8:36 pm

Trifioso

Menopause. A pause, to reconsider men.

8:36 pm

Atalante

gah! I just have a husband who is *ill* and seems to want to let me know that every hour through the night with snoring and coughing and sneezing

8:36 pm

lbdawger

well, your body needs to adjust to the hrt, and that may take a while. I

8:36 pm

Jacula

I can't comment if it's done anything for my libido, since stepdaughter had to come and live with us 4 months ago and so that's totally changed the dynamic of our relationship anyway and we're both still trying to get used to that.

8:37 pm

CiociaJudy

LOL Trif

8:37 pm

lbdawger

i'd still contact the pharmacy or doctor with your concerns

8:37 pm

CiociaJudy

don't think you should really be that sick, Jac

8:37 pm

lbdawger

cute, trif

8:37 pm

CiociaJudy

I have a great website with oodles of hyster and related info and forums. www.hystersisters.com

8:38 pm

8:41 pm

lbdawger

(((MRP))) happy birthday!!!

8:41 pm

mrpresident

Hi Judy!! thanks sweetie!

8:42 pm

Jacula

Judy - thanks, but I'm still intact in that department. I was offered a hysterectomy about a decade ago but I didn't have time for the recovery period since my daughter was in the clinic for her anorexia at the time and then, when she was okay, and I had time, the surgeon who had offered me the surgery died of a sudden massive heart attack.

8:42 pm

mrpresident

Hi dawg! thank you too darling!!

I put some pics up in Flickr for ya all

8:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, and HB to MrP (blows party horn)

8:42 pm

lbdawger

hi bdg!

8:42 pm

mrpresident

thanks Gwen!! :))

8:42 pm

Jacula

MRp - i SAW OUR BIRTHDAY MEAL PICS ON fb. lOVELY.

8:43 pm

mrpresident

I really should keep on celebrating! I still have a few more hours of birthday in the US at least! LOL

8:43 pm

Jacula

Sorry, caps lock stuck and I meant your pics.

8:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

dare we ask how old you are?

8:43 pm

mrpresident

We had a lovely night Jac!

8:43 pm

CiociaJudy

Jac, I don't the info on HRT on the website is just about hysterectomies. might be worth a look

8:43 pm

mrpresident

I am 29 with 12 year experience Gwen ! LOL!!

8:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OMG, another ol' fart LOL

8:44 pm

Jacula

She's 21 with about snother 11 years' experience, I think.

8:44 pm

lbdawger

MRP the pics are great! Maddie is looking more like you everyday! what a beauty!

8:44 pm

CiociaJudy

uh, I think that's kinda young myself, Gwen! LOL

8:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(I might steal your line there, MrP . . .)

8:44 pm

mrpresident

I looked back at pics from 5 years ago and somehow I am getting younger looking! Instant facelife = fringe haircut!!

8:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the secret to looking young is, keep yer baby fat!

8:45 pm

mrpresident

go for it Gwen! I have been 29 for a dozen years now!

8:45 pm

Jacula

Ha. 41.

8:45 pm

mrpresident

The only baby fat I have is around my middle where the bloody babies left it all after the pregnancies! Will move it up to my face!

8:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

how long do we have to wait until wiki is a "real" word?? lol

8:46 pm

mrpresident

I hear that people do that... remove fat from their tummies and arses and inject it into their faces...

8:46 pm

lbdawger

i think the baby fat is all in your mind, mrp. you look svelt in that dress

8:46 pm

mrpresident

gwen, if phat can be a real word, wiki can too!

8:46 pm

Jacula

Gwen - you have a point there. The thinner you are, the more gaunt and old you look as you age. But you get to 100 if you're gaunt and 70 to 80 if you're more rounded. Your choice!

8:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, and the other tip, never wrinkle yer forehead. learn to smile and frown using only the lower face.

8:47 pm

Jacula

I've always wanted a face with 'cheekbones'.

8:47 pm

mrpresident

and those that can't learn, botox

8:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OMG, stay away from the botox!!

8:47 pm

mrpresident

you can colour cheekbones in... I do it with my cleavage all the time!

8:48 pm

dan2bit

So I have a niece & nephew story. Leah, my sister's eldest is 4 and a half and her little brother Thomas is 2. They go to a gymnastics "class" on Fridays, and we saw them last Friday for grandma's birthday.

8:48 pm

lbdawger

dan...and...

8:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yuh hunh?

8:49 pm

dan2bit

Leah was still wearing her black leotard with the silver swirlies and telling everyone about gymnastics. My sister said when they were getting dressed and Leah was putting on her leotard, Thomas asked if he could wear "a thomas-tard"

8:49 pm

Jacula

Gwen, if you frown using only the lower face you end up with low eyebrows, downward wrinkles above your nose bridge and thos nasy sulky looking lines straight down from top lip to lower chin.

8:49 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Gosh Dan, too Funny!

8:49 pm

CiociaJudy

OMG How cute, Dan.

8:49 pm

lbdawger

lol, awww, that's too cute, Dan

8:49 pm

mrpresident

That is too cute Dan!!

8:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hope "thomas tard" does not get out into the neighborhood or he'll never live it down!

8:50 pm

redturtlehead

When I was a kid, we had a bully names Kurt in class and one day the teacher was telling him to me Courteous. I wondered if I would have to be Holli-ous....

8:50 pm

dan2bit

haha red that's a good one.

8:50 pm

Trifioso

oh, that is so cute!!!

8:50 pm

mrpresident

like maddison being lactose intolerant, Luke decided he was blacktoast intolerant when I overcooked his bread.

8:50 pm

redturtlehead

Now, wonders what a Thomas Tard looks like, and if its a new halloween outfit...

8:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, if my eyeborws are lowering then i'm not frowning using only the lower face. (someone pointed out to me recently that i don't wrinkle my forehead when i frown; apparently most people do wrinkle it)

8:51 pm

Trifioso

thomas tard!!!! F***tard is an insult on the south shore. I much MUCH prefer Thomas Tard

8:51 pm

lbdawger

oh gads, kids really do say the darndest things.

8:51 pm

dan2bit

obviously, everyone should have such a piece of clothing named after them

8:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

holy cow the bad puns!!!!

8:51 pm

Atalante

good for luke, mrp! I decided the same years ago :P

8:51 pm

Jacula

Very young children have no id4 about sexual stereotypes and so just go wherever life takes them re dressing or having fun.

8:52 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Gooly people its so cold here, I am putting on Long underwear. and its 67, I really am a wimp...

8:52 pm

mrpresident

Hi ata!

8:52 pm

Jacula

It's a shame we all get constrained into groups eventually.

8:52 pm

mrpresident

It is bloody hot here... coming up to 90F... icky, and I can't take my skin off!

8:52 pm

lbdawger

red you are a wimp!! it is currently 40°F here. i just closed my windows!

8:53 pm

Jacula

Can you still buy long bloomers, red?

8:53 pm

redturtlehead

8:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

46 degrees Fahrenheit here. i have the spaceheater on under my chair. when it freezes i'll turn in the furnace

8:53 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, jac you can!!!

8:53 pm

90 degrees, Mr.P!! I need to winter in AUS

lbdawger

8:54 pm

CiociaJudy

ROFLMAO Dan

8:54 pm

mrpresident

hehehe dan!

8:54 pm

Jacula

Gwen - that is probably because you raise your eyebrows when you look cross.

8:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

funny one, dan! i'll bet we all have similar stories . . .

8:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, i dunno. need more mirror time LOL

8:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

woot i found a word

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

Dan, I once worked for Traffic & Security and we had to say that when we answered the phone. Finally somebody asked if we had to be insecure about traffic to work there.

8:55 pm

lbdawger

BDG, do you ever watch Ace of Cakes? Duff built a dalyx (sp) cake and its top spun and it chirped destroy, eliminate ...and something else i can't remember.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Mr.P - Luke's story reminds me of the time my son once asked why I always seved 'black sausages'.

8:56 pm

Jacula

*served

8:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

dawg, never heard of that show, but what, a cooking show? nope, haven't seen it. (i don't have cable and my "modern" tv can't pick up anything. all my tv watching is at a friend's house)

8:57 pm

Jacula

Gwen - you probably need to get SKY TV.

8:57 pm

mkg

need last di 5 and 7.

8:57 pm

lbdawger

BDG, it's on the food channel. darn. you would have loved it. I thought of you and Torg when i saw it.

8:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

when i'm rich i'll have cable, or satellite, or s'thing

8:58 pm

Atalante

dalek!

8:58 pm

mrpresident

darn it, just got a phone call... son left his lunch at home... time to run it up to the school... back in a minute

8:58 pm

lbdawger

yes, dalek! thanks Ata

8:58 pm

Jacula

mkg - di5 = 'same again!' and di7 is past tense of that.

8:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

still struggling to pay bills with no health care and hoping i don't get sick before we get it

8:59 pm

lbdawger

mkg, when some wants to say the same thing as you they might say di5. the 7 is pt

8:59 pm

redturtlehead

if we get it, the options being bantered about are wild...

8:59 pm

Trifioso

BDG, I am fighting like hell to get health insurance in the divorce...it's war!

8:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

listen to the dems and ignore the repugs and it will not sound so wild

8:59 pm

Jacula

Gwen - when I read that, I'm glad I live in UK, even with our crap Government and failing National Health Service.

9:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wishing you luck, trif. seriously.

9:00 pm

Andree

hi everyone

9:00 pm

redturtlehead

when they take out the public option it goes awry if you ask me...

9:00 pm

Andree

anf fireworks

9:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

damn you're fast andree!!

9:00 pm

CiociaJudy

woohoo Andree!!

9:00 pm

lbdawger

hubs and i were talking this evening about him putting me on his work insurance. 400 bucks a month! just for adding me for health insurance! I'm covered by the military insurance we have already.

9:00 pm

Jacula

Welll done, Andree.

9:00 pm

redturtlehead

yay andree..

9:00 pm

lbdawger

wooo hooooo ANDREE!!!

9:01 pm

Andree

only the quick and the dead judy

9:02 pm

lbdawger

ooh, and you get to pick up beau this weekend??

9:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hoping the new health care bill with whallop the corporate bastards (insurance and pharma) that have been reaming us in and out like giant bottle washers

9:02 pm

Jacula

So, what happens in USA if you are badly injured in an accident or becom chronically ill? Do they just let you die? And if you die, what happens to you then?

9:03 pm

lbdawger

amen to that, bdg.

9:03 pm

Andree

have changed my mind about the name, decided that naming him after a dead pet was reminding me of him too much, so his name is Hugo

9:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, no, law requires them to treat you, but they then bill you for 100,000s or more and you go into bankruptcy and on the dole. Or, in some cases, they don't treat you and you die.

9:04 pm

lbdawger

If you are injured and go to a county facility they have to give you care, but if you die and no one is there to "claim" you, the city will bury you in a paupers grave.

9:04 pm

Jacula

Andree - are you still quite sure you want to call your puppy Beau rather than Hiary MClary? *grins*

9:04 pm

Atalante

lovely name :)

9:04 pm

Trifioso

my sister's friend had a baby in florida, and she was on their public health insurance plan. She asked for an epidural, and was told they cost $800, and did she have the cash to pay for it in advance? She didn't so they refused to give her one. LOOOOOOvely

9:04 pm

redturtlehead

No Jac, We have a law called EMTALA we have to treat anyone who walks into an ER for any complaint, regardless of thier ability to pay...but, if you need some sort of outpatient surgery, and can not pay, you dont get it.

9:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

just heard of a case where it was not an "emergency" and they did not treat and the patient died at age 22 or so. his mother was on the radio

9:05 pm

Andree

the breeder had to go back to the vet to have the papers changed for the micro chip and i had to chuck the tag i had made otherwise no harm done

9:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i had an emergeny a few yrs ago, got treated and billed for $5000. pretty big amount for a person who earns about $20,000/yr (now you know)

9:05 pm

redturtlehead

It's an enormous expense. Hospitals are also becoming much more aggressive about collecting.

9:06 pm

lbdawger

i like hugo! as long as he doesn't become a HUGE GO

9:06 pm

Jacula

Thank God for the UK's National Health Srvice, no matter how bad it has become now.

9:06 pm

Andree

wow book, don't you have public hospitals

9:06 pm

Trifioso

I like Hugo. That is a nice name

9:06 pm

redturtlehead

No we don't have free public hospitals Andree, very different.

9:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i called my rep in the state legislature and he told the the SECRET. call the hospital , ask for a payment plan, give them the best sob story you got. and guess what, it worked! they reduced by bill to $500

9:07 pm

regis

would someone please help me with the me5 the first

9:07 pm

Jacula

Bring back Matron to make sure everyone is doing what they should be doing and that the hospital is clean. I, for one, will not begrudge a penny of my earnings taxed out for that.

9:07 pm

lbdawger

Jac, your system was set up ages ago in tax collection to be able to cover the cost of national health. the US is just coming to grips with the fact that something has to change or more people are going to die from things like polio or h1n1

9:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

andree, i've heard that they exist but don't know where any are. in fact i called several and asked and not one hospital would even refer me to a free hospital.

9:07 pm

redturtlehead

Oh BDG, we ask anyone without insurance up front if they want to apply for financial assistance.

9:08 pm

CiociaJudy

finally, FIREWORKS!

9:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

latest statistic: 45,000 americans die every year due to not having health care. that's fifteen 9/11s every freakin year

9:08 pm

Trifioso

huzzah for judy!

9:08 pm

lbdawger

regis, me + 4th letter + double vowel

9:08 pm

redturtlehead

ldb, I will say I don't think more people will die from the dammed swine flu.

9:08 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hoooooo CJ!!!

9:08 pm

Jacula

Well done, Judy.

9:09 pm

lbdawger

i hope they wont Red, but if the vaccines aren't made available...who's to say?

9:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

turtle, i called the nearest hosp (among others) and asked about playment plans, they claimed to have none. After i had emergency treatment and a bill on my hands, all of a sudden they had a plan. Lying bastards

9:09 pm

regis

thank you ibdawger could not find it for forever

9:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wtg judy !!! ~~~ !!!

9:09 pm

redturtlehead

THe Media has much overblown the swine.

9:09 pm

redturtlehead

Odd.

9:09 pm

Jacula

I can't believe that the USA has never eperimented before with taxing its citizens at source for healtth care, etc. How bizzare!

9:10 pm

redturtlehead

We have a payment plan,

9:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, it's rugged individualism run amok

9:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

turtle, obviously you don't work at botsford hospital, farmington hills, michigan

9:10 pm

Andree

is private health care expensive in the US

9:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

andree, hell yes. there are no strings reining it in. they are really reaming us

9:11 pm

redturtlehead

No, BDG,, and it helps that our actual mission is "to extend the Healing Ministry of Christ" SO we have to keep that in mind as they pray overhead and talk each day about it.

9:11 pm

redturtlehead

Andree, there really isn't a seperation of private and public heath care.

9:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i had a work-sponsored plan and the premiums tripled after i had a kidney stone. T R I P L E D

9:12 pm

redturtlehead

My Insurance now is not very good. They do a lot of denying...

9:12 pm

jillibus

In BC we pay $54/month for complete health care and that's it. Hi all!

9:13 pm

jillibus

It may go up a bit in the near future, but that's ok.

9:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yes, all you non-Usians may brag all over us now about your great health plans, LOL (*sob!*)

9:13 pm

jillibus

When there's a universal health plan it's amortised over millions of people so the costs go down.

9:13 pm

Andree

for hospital only cover i pay A$756.60 per year then get the government rebate of A$264.85 so affordable, with a family you need full cover and that ofcourse costs more but all get the 35% rebate

9:14 pm

redturtlehead

I'm shocked at how much debate this has been fought against, I sort of forgot how strong the insurance and pharma lobbies are.

9:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yup. in fact, the guy who launched universal care in Canada (actually in Saskatchewan) is in my book

9:14 pm

Jacula

Payment plans for health imply that payment is personal choice. It might sound a little 'communist' to say this, but you don't have a choice here in UK. At least one third of your wages are taken in taxes.

9:14 pm

PastorJ

$54 a month?!?!? I have to buy my own ins, $400 a month, (amounts to 22% of net income for me) an they routinely deny every single claim - have to fight them for it!

9:14 pm

redturtlehead

My insurance is not too expensive, but it is not the best at covering everything needed.

9:14 pm

jillibus

Tommy Douglas -- good, Gwen!

9:15 pm

PastorJ

move over, I'm coming to BC!

9:15 pm

jillibus

We have no nonsense about pre-existing conditions and all that crap.

9:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

pastorJ, you and i and all of us are getting reamed! (pardon my french)

9:15 pm

redturtlehead

if only Canada was not so darn cold!!!

9:15 pm

PastorJ

no kidding!

9:16 pm

jillibus

It's not cold here, red! BC is like your NC.

9:16 pm

jillibus

Well, southern BC, that is.

9:16 pm

jillibus

Welcome, PastorJ!

9:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jillibus, actually, i was thinking of Frank Coburn

9:17 pm

PastorJ

thank, jillibus! I'm usually just a lurker but health care makes me very talkative!

9:17 pm

jillibus

What I said about BC's health applies in various ways to all of Canada -- each province is a bit different.

9:17 pm

redturtlehead

Jilli, I am wearing long underwear and long sleeves because the temp is 21 C, or 70...

9:17 pm

this is almost too cold now.

Oh well, red, you'd get used to it! We do have cheap heating here too.

9:18 pm

hiya DR, we are talking about the weather and a single payer plan

Hi DR!

9:18 pm

Jacula

I was looking for a payslip to see wht we pay in NHI (National Health Insurance) here, but can't find one right now.

9:19 pm

DR1965

I do not talk politics any longer in the chog but our weather is great

9:19 pm

redturtlehead

No no, I hate cold weather, it causes me severe depression.

9:19 pm

DR1965

Hi Jilli

9:19 pm

jillibus

I'm so sick of all the lies being told about Canadian health care.

9:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

4 of the 5 bills currently in congress have a public option, yet the corporate-media noise machine keeps saying the public option is "dead" or "in trouble" and shit like that

9:19 pm

Trifioso

I have no more news, DR.

9:19 pm

DR1965

Trif- how are the kids?

9:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lying bastards!!! (okay, i'm done.)

9:20 pm

DR1965

well no news could be good news :)

9:20 pm

redturtlehead

I wish they would go whole hog and establish it, this back and forth is very confusing, multioptions...too much.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Private gealth insurance, if you read the small print, pays for almost nothing.

9:20 pm

redturtlehead

Hi DR< like thumper.

9:20 pm

DR1965

thanks Red-

9:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i've only found one word since i got here this evening. back into the grid . . .

9:21 pm

jillibus

In Quebec we didn't know how much we paid for health care. When I moved to BC in 1996 we paid $36, but soon it wnt to $54. A hike is expected.

9:21 pm

Trifioso

yes, I guess. I am going to see him tomorrow morning, hopefully, and hopefully speak with a doctor, or at least my brother, and have more info then

9:21 pm

DR1965

I will hold a good thought

9:22 pm

Trifioso

thanks, dr. I really, really appreciate it.

9:22 pm

Bugsaw

Jilli it is less for me because I am still working and my employer helps with the monthly premium. I hope the US gets coverage that allows them the dignity we have here too.

9:22 pm

DR1965

you have had so much the past 12 months- it is enough already

9:24 pm

Bugsaw

Trif I am sorry that something else bad has happened for you but I must say, your icon is the best!

9:24 pm

Jacula

The NHS began 'properly' here in UK in 1948 at The London Hospital, but hospitals had operated free care for the poor long before that, depending on the rich donating money to help the poor.

9:24 pm

DR1965

t's are toppled- now to the s

9:24 pm

Trifioso

thanks bugsaw. It's in scrabbler's honor, of course

9:24 pm

jillibus

Lucky you, bugs! As a widow on a fixed income I get no extra help. Th insurance companies here still get business, don't they -- Blue Cross and such for things like physiotherapy, whatever -- do they cover stuff like acupuncture and other alternatives?

9:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ask a republican what to do with cancer and no health care, and they say try a charity. and those bastards don't give to charities and they have super health care. AAAUGHH. (sorry, said i was done.)

9:26 pm

jillibus

I've been so out of touch lately -- what's happened in trif's life? Please?

9:26 pm

Trifioso

Jili, my dad suffered a bad fall, and is in ICU in a medically induced coma.

9:28 pm

jillibus

Oh dear, Trif -- but that's a wonderful newish treatment, isn't it, with lots of hope attached?

9:28 pm
