Buttonman

yes, it is a TR 8/9
5:42 am
Merk

Interesting word
5:43 am
Buttonman

First half of the 9 is when they hang a guy they throw a rope over the limb of a TR**
5:44 am
Merk

This is a good grid. Larger, but with the s way in the corner, it's not depending on so many plurals.
5:45 am

Thanks everyone. Could I help someone too? (I only have 70 words so far, but am willing to share)
6:10 am

Hi Trifi. How are you? How's your Dad?
6:10 am
NonoNanette

hi Trif
6:10 am
Trifioso

morning scrabbler - still in a coma, I am afraid. Still not extubated. It's so worrying....I am going to see him today, after my fun-time four way meeting with our divorce lawyers.....sometimes the sh** rains down so hard, you need a hat, you know what I mean?
6:11 am
Trifioso

But I really appreciate you all asking, and being so caring. The support means everything!
6:11 am
crosshair

crossy offers trif an umbrella:/
6:11 am
Scrabbler

((Trif)) One day at a time. How is his lung function? Any complications or just needing time to breathe on his own?
6:11 am
NonoNanette

so sorry Trif am still praying for your dad.. as for the other, well this too shall pass
6:11 am
Nef

You can borrow my tin foil hat, Trifi. I put teel feathers on it last night
6:12 am
Scrabbler

Trif--fight for what your kids need now and in the future
6:12 am
Trifioso

LOL, thanks crossy. His lung function is okay, I guess. when they turn down the vent thingie he does try to breathe on his own
6:12 am
Nef

That's a great sign, Trifi!
6:12 am
Merk

Finished with the a words ... ah, how good it is.
6:12 am
Scrabbler

So he is making progress?
6:13 am
Trifioso

and they took out the chest tube, which I actually thought was weird, as he is developing a pneumonia.
6:13 am
NonoNanette

wtg Merk
6:13 am
Scrabbler

Good--chest tube can cause infection + pain. If the air leak is healed--good.
6:13 am
Nef

Re: the ventilator: It's okay for him to be on it for 10-12 and possibly 14 days if necessary. Intensivists always try to get them off as early as possible
6:13 am
Trifioso

I don't know if it is progress or not, scrab - he is still in a coma, so maybe any progress is incremental. I think the biggest relief will be when they get the intubation tube out.
6:13 am
Wolvie

good morning all - how is this grid today?
6:14 am
Scrabbler

Coma or highly sedated with Fentanyl etc?
6:14 am
Trifioso

they are going to do a tracheostomy tomorrow, I think. They prefer that to the vent I guess.
6:14 am
Nef

the chest tube was there just to re-inflate the lung (it makes a vaccuum for the lung to re-expand
6:14 am
Scrabbler

Hi Wolvie
6:14 am
Wolvie

hey trif! I was wondering how your Dad is doing - still maintaining?
6:14 am
Trifioso

MEdical coma - my stepmom said he was on "michael jackson juice" - is that fentanyl?
6:15 am
Nef

nope Diprovan
6:15 am
Nef

"Milk of Amnesia" we call it
6:15 am
Scrabbler

Probably not propofol--short-acting
6:15 am
Scrabbler

Haha, Nef
6:15 am
Nef

plus some sort of sedation
6:16 am
Scrabbler

Probably Fentanyl, Ativan, opiate combo--then he will be weaned off
6:16 am
Trifioso

they would rather he was awake, and then on a controlled epidural, but I would say we are a loooong way from that
6:16 am
Wolvie

wow - still medically induced coma - how long will they continue that?
6:16 am
Nef

propofol/diprovan is the drug of choice for trying to get someone off vent up here, Scrabs. Easy off, easy on so can wake and put back to sleep fast
6:17 am
Scrabbler

Really? Not used in kids in ICU, so new to me.
6:17 am
Trifioso

until they get the breathing tube out, I think wolvie
6:17 am
Nef

I've never used it on kids, Scrabs. But then again, I no longer work in ICU
6:18 am
Wolvie

and that appears to be a bit off still? Timewise? I hope it occursa as soon as possible.
6:18 am
Trifioso

I think someone mentioned some sort of oxy- something, at some point. he is a "hemologic challenge" or some such phrase, so they are switching him up all the time. He is getting or has gotten a central line though - is that a good thing?
6:18 am
Nef

Dang! Speaking of work, gotta run!
6:18 am
Wolvie

bye nef
6:19 am
Scrabbler

Central line is typical for ICU pt
6:19 am
NonoNanette

bye Nef
6:19 am
Nef

Trif, central lines are good. Less chance of the IV causing a vein problem
6:19 am

11:12 am
Haz1558

May we hear it?
11:12 am
Atalante

Poor Hobbitella! She has the starts of either a cataract or corneal atrophy in her left eye. However, she can see perfectly well right now, and vet lady thinks her vision is just blurry atm when looking down, which explains quite a lot. But! Lovely... vet lady gave her eyedrops to dilate her eye which she promptly had some weird reaction to - a reaction never seen before in the vet practice (typical) and she's now got really puffy conjunctiva. She looks rather like a bassett hound.

Husband thinks that Spangle has the start of cataract as well, all part of growing older, I suppose.

11:17 am

is the gn8 a compound word?

Sorry to h4 about your sister Ata. :(
11:25 am
Atalante

the worst bit nowadays is her attitude. I sound like an old aunt, but she's impossible to deal with half the time
11:25 am
Atalante

and we all know that's her illness and not her (well not MUCH her, dshe was always bolshy and argumentative!)
11:27 am
caitlyn

She is probably fed up and thinks that you can take the moans and groans as you are her sister !!
11:27 am
caitlyn

I have a mother like that!
11:28 am
Atalante

oh yes, mum too. but she's just - you can't do anything right, everyone hates her, everyone is plotting against her, and we hear about it constantly. We just have to walk out of the room quite often and calm down
11:29 am
caitlyn

Ata I do know how you feel
11:30 am
Atalante

she actually phoned me up a few weeks ago to tell me that mum had called her a demon child and told me about it for *2 hours* lol
11:30 am

and then 3 hours the next day!
11:31 am

Have you not got Hobbitella trained to ring the doorbell as a diversion/excuse?

11:34 am

After skydiving I suppose someone is going to be carried. Thank you Haz what fun!
11:34 am
Haz1558

The Romans didn't go in for skydiving because they didn't have a word for it. Wise people.
11:35 am

Ciel plop? Probably not. I sky dive, you sky dive, etc.
11:35 am

£455 is a goodly sum of money. Well done!

11:37 am
Haz1558

stidgmere, I understand that you enjoyed your trip to Ireland? I'm glad the weather cooperated.
11:37 am
stidgmere

Sark isn't very big. Maybe a larger island to land on? I must get on Liz's blog I have been remiss.
11:39 am
stidgmere

Oh Haz the trip to Ireland was absolutely excellent. I know the next time I will be the tour coordinator and so it is a lot more work. You know coming from the Pacific Northwest, we are so used to grey skies and rain that Ireland would not be disappointing.
11:39 am
Haz1558

I know, but anywhere looks so much better when it's dry.
11:39 am

I also picked the apples with Stidgrandson's help. We got a box full from our one tree. This is the second year with an apple crop. We feel like orchardists.
11:44 am
Haz1558

Are they eating apples or cookers?
11:44 am
Atalante

*imagines a tree hung with cookers*
11:45 am
caitlyn

LOL
11:45 am
Haz1558

'Watch out below!'
11:45 am
Vicuna

I was imagining someone eating cookers instead of apples. A bit too crunchy for me. Hello, all!
11:46 am
caitlyn

Hi Vi !
11:46 am
stidgmere

They are best cooked because they are quite tart. Karmijn de sonnaville and are listed as a cross between Cox's Orange Pippen and Jonathan.
11:46 am
Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!
11:46 am
Vicuna

How is everyone today?
11:46 am
stidgmere

Is a cooker a stove in Britain? To us it is just something to be cooked. Hello Vicuna. Welcome to the world wide wackiness.
11:47 am
Atalante

hi Vi!!!!iiii!!!
11:47 am
Haz1558

A cooker is a stove, and my shortened version of a cooking apple.
11:47 am
Haz1558

I'm well, Vi. How are you?
11:48 am
stidgmere

That's rather what i thought but it is always wise to be sure.
11:48 am
Vicuna

Dandy, as always, thanks.
11:49 am
Haz1558

And the twins? Has TOG girl got back on her bike?
11:50 am
Atalante

poor Liz ... she's not looking forward to the skydive ... " Liz has lost all sense of humour where the skydive is concerned. Be nice about it. Save the horror stories for another day, or expect me to punch you... hard!"
11:50 am
Vicuna

She did ride it once, but unfortunately she really isn't back in the same enthusiasm any more. But her face is almost completely back to normal.
11:51 am
Vicuna

Oh the skydive is coming right up, yes? Good luck! Poor liz!
11:51 am
Haz1558

Maybe the memories will fade along with the scars. I'm glad her mouth is recovering nicely.
11:52 am
Vicuna

I expect they will. It's only me who will remain terrified every time they ride! lol
11:52 am
EvaNadine

i just saw an "apple facts" paper in our kitchenette at work that said "for dieting women, those women who ate 3 apples a day were more successful on their diets than women who ate no fruit at all."

well, no crap. if i ate the apples a day, id be done eating for the day!
11:52 am
caitlyn

Sorry to hear that your little one has hurt herself Vi, hope she is better soon
11:53 am
Atalante

I couldn't eat 3 apples a day if I tried!
11:53 am
EvaNadine

my thoughts exactly, ata! honestly, i think it would make me sick.
11:53 am
EvaNadine

course, i guess id lose weight from all the vomiting... :X
11:53 am
Vicuna

Thanks, caitlyn. She really is fine already. I am seriously jealous of the 7-year-old body's capacity to heal itself.
11:54 am
Haz1558

Maybe you could if you had nice tasty apples.
11:54 am
Vicuna

Ooh, I could eat 3 apples a day - and probably plenty of other junk, too!
11:54 am
caitlyn

Hi Eva Im on a diet at the moment but I dont like apples enough to eat 1 so 3 are a no goer!
11:54 am
Atalante

exactly cait!
11:54 am
EvaNadine

it said that the average person eats about 1 apple per week. and honestly, im WELL below average.
which is strange, because i DO like apples!
11:54 am
Vicuna

(If, as Haz says, they were nice tasty ones.)
11:55 am
stidgmere

I like a sliced apple with a bit of cheese and crackers. Otherwise, probably not.
11:55 am
Vicuna

In fact, I think I'll go have an apple right now.
11:55 am
Haz1558

The nicest apples I ever tasted were Lord Lambourne's from Armagh. But you never see them in the shops.
11:55 am
Atalante

though I do like Russets
11:55 am
EvaNadine

it also said that most people who eat apples are what they call "equator eaters" -- meaning that they eat bits from the center of the apple + go all the way around, then take bites off either end.
11:56 am
caitlyn

If Im hungry in between I have been eating grapes will that do ?
11:56 am
EvaNadine

i dunno caitlyn. its apple month, so they dont mention grapes. ;)
11:56 am
caitlyn

lol
11:57 am
EvaNadine

i wonder if apple sauce counts.
i think i dont tend to eat actual apples because it often hurts my gums to bite into an apple. but i do love apple sauce!
but then, i guess the extra sugar would probably negate the positive apple-effects...
11:57 am
periwinkle

hi folks
11:58 am
Vicuna

Get unsweetened applesauce, EvaN.
11:58 am
periwinkle

tivel, are you here?
11:58 am
caitlyn

Hi peri!
11:58 am
Vicuna

Or slice your apples instead of eating off the core.
11:58 am
Vicuna

Hello, peri.
11:58 am
stidgmere

Hello peri, we're on to apples right now. Plus sky diving. Kind of eclectic.
11:58 am
Haz1558

Hello peri.
11:58 am
Haz1558

I don't think apple sauce counts. You need the fibre from the apple, sauce will have taken all the moral fibre out.
11:58 am
Vicuna

It was skydiving appleas who invented gravity along with Isaac Newton, as everyone knows.
11:59 am
caitlyn

Oh maybe we can get our apples by drinking cider LOL
11:59 am
periwinkle

I like apples, sky diving, not so sure
11:59 am
Haz1558

We wouldn't have William Tell either without the apple.
11:59 am
periwinkle

or an appletini :)
12:00 pm
Haz1558

Did Grandpa Einstein have anything to say about apples? It seems to me that they're more important than we first gave them credit for.
12:00 pm
Atalante

he learned from newton
12:00 pm
Vicuna

I think Einstein was trying to figure out whether apples could be waves as well as particles.
12:00 pm
stidgmere

Apples have been in since the beginning--even in Eden as the story goes.
12:01 pm
Vicuna

That's where the applesauce comes in - for making waves.
12:01 pm
Haz1558

And of course, Snow White, don't forget Snow White.
12:01 pm
Haz1558

Waves of applesauce, there's a thought.
12:02 pm
Haz1558

It was cherries that did for George Washington, wasn't it? Could it not have been an apple tree instead?
12:02 pm
stidgmere

I think of applesauce as more viscous like lava. Volcanoes of sauce.
12:02 pm
caitlyn

You will not convince me to eat apples though, (and William Tell was dangerous lol)
12:02 pm
Atalante

plasmapplesauce
12:02 pm
Vicuna

Time for our new book How The Apple Made the World
12:02 pm
Haz1558

William Tell would be up for all sorts of misdemeanours nowadays.
12:03 pm
Haz1558

Using children, failure to carry out risk assessment, failure to register a firearm.
12:03 pm
Vicuna

Bows don't involve fire, except in the case of incendiary arrows.
12:03 pm
stidgmere

Yes, I think our Department of Health and so forth would be on it like wasps on apples. Is a bow and arrow technically a "fire" arm?
12:04 pm
Vicuna

Which would have made a nice baked apple in Tell's case, though.
12:04 pm
Haz1558

You fire a bow and arrow, I'm sure you do.
12:04 pm
caitlyn

I know Haz but we wouldnt have had the William Tell overture without him, so he is forgiven
12:04 pm
Haz1558

Is there a higher authority to whom I can appeal?
12:04 pm
stidgmere

I think some Babblers sound pretty high.
12:05 pm
Vicuna

The Court of Apples, of course.
12:05 pm
caitlyn

LOL stidg
12:05 pm
stidgmere

The court of Apple Peels. On Sark there is a Court of Pleas.
12:05 pm
Vicuna

Apples, Appeals... close enough.
12:06 pm
Vicuna

It'll be Ata who'll be high... until she very very quickly becomes low.
12:06 pm
stidgmere

Focus, focus.
12:06 pm
Atalante

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
12:06 pm
caitlyn

Not too quickly though
12:06 pm
Haz1558

She should carry out an experiment and see if an apple falls as fast as her from 150.000 feet.
12:06 pm
Atalante

i shall carry an apple with me
12:07 pm
Haz1558

I knew you'd take up the challenge.
12:07 pm
Vicuna

Good idea, Haz! In the name of science!
12:07 pm
Haz1558

Will it have a parachute as well? For comparison purposes?
12:07 pm
stidgmere

I think they will fall at the same rate in that case. I like science but honestly this sounds like appled science to me.
12:07 pm
Vicuna

One with and one without, for control.
12:07 pm
Haz1558

Or will it be launched sans equipment? You'd better warn the bystanders.
12:07 pm
torgone

30 miles up would be quite a jump ..
12:08 pm
stidgmere

One step for woman kind.
12:08 pm
Atalante

terminal velocity of an apple hmmmm
12:08 pm
Vicuna

(But I won't suggest that Ata jump once with and once without.)
12:08 pm
Haz1558

Ata will go any distance for Dogs for the Disabled.
12:08 pm
Atalante

phew!
12:08 pm
Haz1558

One apple with parachute for Liz, one without for Ata.
12:08 pm
Haz1558

Problem solved.
12:08 pm
caitlyn

I was waiting for you to suggest that Vi
12:08 pm
stidgmere

I just hope her dogs are not disabled. (Feet in the U.S.)
12:09 pm
Atalante

liz will be too terrified to remember apples!
12:09 pm
EvaNadine

oh dear. one mention of apples, i step out for a few moments + return to such SAUCE-iness!
12:10 pm
caitlyn

LOL Eva
12:10 pm
Haz1558

You never know what one remark will lead to in this log, EvaN.
12:10 pm
Vicuna

Welcome back, EvaN. You understand, 'cause you're an in-cider.
12:10 pm
stidgmere

Talk about sauce of consciousness.
12:11 pm
EvaNadine

guess you all are gonna JUICE this thing for all its worth...
12:11 pm
Haz1558

I'll not groan, in case Vi starts singing. 'Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me'
12:11 pm
EvaNadine

and really, vicuna, that joke was just rotten to the core!
12:11 pm
Vicuna

We'll go right down to the core of it.
12:11 pm
Haz1558

Or 'I'll be with you in apple-blossom time'
12:11 pm
aebmusica

don't forget the appellate court!
12:11 pm
caitlyn

Eva just feels fruity
12:11 pm
Vicuna

Heh, Haz. That used to be TOG-boy's favorite song when he was about 5. Pretty funny to hear him singing it then.
12:12 pm
Vicuna

("Don't sit under the apple tree" was, i mean.
12:12 pm

Well played aebmusica.
12:12 pm

It's a nice innocent song.

He went through a phase of "How much is that doggy int he window" when he was 2. Now, alas, he favors "Jingle bells, batman smells..."
12:13 pm
Atalante

robin flew away, wonder woman lost .... la la la *sings*
12:14 pm
EvaNadine

jingle bells, batman smells, robin laid an egg!
batmobile has lost its wheel and the joker got away!!
12:15 pm
caitlyn

Now you have got us all singing lol
12:15 pm
Vicuna

Yeah, that's the way we learned it, EvaN. But I think TOG-boy has a slightly different version. Maybe I'll actually have to listen next time he starts.
12:15 pm
EvaNadine

well, i for one am glad that we have laid the apple puns to rest.
apples to apples and dust to dust.
12:15 pm
caitlyn

LOL
12:15 pm
Atalante

we obviously have ruder versions over here :P
12:16 pm
Vicuna

It's our puritan background, I guess, Ata.
12:16 pm
EvaNadine

its a british thing. yall are just so polite all the time that once in a while you just go nuts. ;)
12:16 pm
Haz1558

I thought we were only getting started on the apples. We've still got Cockney rhyming slang to consider. 'up the apples and pears' - upstairs.
12:17 pm
Atalante

The largest exporters of apples in 2006 were China, Chile, Italy, France and the U.S., while the biggest importers in the same year were Russia, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands.
12:17 pm
EvaNadine

BRB kids.
12:17 pm
Haz1558

See you shortly, EvaN.
12:18 pm
Atalante

I live down the road from the UK's National Apple Collection
12:18 pm
Haz1558

It's a bit of a shame that UK feels the need to import apples.
12:18 pm
caitlyn

I didnt know there was one Ata
12:18 pm
stidgmere

Is there really a national Apple Collection? Seems unusual.
12:18 pm
Atalante

yep - google Brogdale
12:19 pm
Atalante

national collections of all fruit. Brogdale's home to the apple, pear, and cherry collections I *think*
12:19 pm
Vicuna

Well if you're all going to be eating 3 a day in your new health regimen, it's going to be tough to supply enough on your own.
12:19 pm
Haz1558

I'm sure they'd give you plenty of samples for your experiment.
12:19 pm
stidgmere

I'm off to google and look around my house. There must be something that needs dusting--no I'm wrong.
12:19 pm
Haz1558

Dusting when there are apples to be discussed?
12:20 pm
Vicuna

Is stidgmere feeling okay?
12:20 pm
Vicuna

I'm worried about her.
12:20 pm
Atalante

looking for dusting is somewhat disturbing
12:20 pm
Vicuna

Somewhat???
12:20 pm
Haz1558

I'm worried as well. Even I wouldn't worry about dusting when there are vital discussions afoot.
12:21 pm
Atalante

I was understating
12:21 pm
caitlyn

Should we contact stidmama?
12:21 pm
Haz1558

We're not used to you understating. It took us unawares.
12:21 pm
Atalante

I am English, you know
12:21 pm
Vicuna

WHo knows what far-reaching apple-cations the results of this discussion could have.
12:22 pm
Haz1558

Maybe we should wait to see if she comes to her senses before we alarm stidmama.
12:22 pm
Vicuna

Ah, understating. Your rhetorical techniques are too advanced for me!
12:22 pm
Merk

I just returned. It's interesting to eavesdrop on the chats. Rarely does it make sense without backing up a bit, but it can be quite interesting.
12:22 pm
Atalante

I'd be worried if I was stidmama
12:23 pm
Haz1558

Hello Merk.
12:23 pm
caitlyn

Dont worry Vi her head is already in the clouds
12:23 pm
Vicuna

Hello, Merk. Does it make sense if you do back up? If so, we're clearly remaining far too lucid and logical.
12:23 pm
caitlyn

Hi Merk

at least she's not singing

Hello, Scrabbler. You're sending us all to the tropics?
12:24 pm
Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler. Drugs - just what we need.
12:24 pm
Vicuna

Of course, apples grow best in temperate zones...
12:24 pm
Atalante

scrabs is a relative of stigmere. we can just tell her
12:25 pm
Scrabbler

Vicuna, you may feel like you are somewhere else.
12:25 pm
caitlyn

Do it gently though Ata
12:25 pm
Haz1558

That's right, Ata! It's a good thing you have a great mind like your grandfather and can remember things.
12:25 pm
Atalante

Scrabs, Stidgmere has gone mad
12:25 pm
Merk

Hi, everyone. I don't have time to go any farther back than I did. Dust, apples, and jingle bells.
12:26 pm
caitlyn

That was very gentle Ata well done!!
12:26 pm
Vicuna

Nice bedside manner, Ata.
12:26 pm
Atalante

I thought so LOL
12:26 pm
Haz1558

Yes, you've got back to the bit where the chat got interesting. Although sky-diving featured as well.
12:27 pm
Atalante

The Flower of Kent is a green variety of cooking apple. According to the story, this is the apple Isaac Newton saw falling to ground from its tree, inspiring his laws of universal gravitation. It is pear-shaped, mealy, and sub-acid, and of generally poor quality by today's standards. Despite the name, it is likely of French origin.

Though now largely gone from cultivation, a handful of Flower of Kent trees remain. Most, if not all, are said to descend from trees at Newton's Woolsthorpe Manor, and nearly all currently in existence descend from a single tree in East Malling, Kent.

The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale[1] contains an example, listed as "Isaac Newton's Tree" (1948-729)

Good evening everyone.

I suppose you expect apple-ause for giving us that info, Ata! ;)
12:28 pm

I like the bit about the apple being rubbish, but probably French.
12:28 pm

Stidgmere is struggling?

You never had sons, Haz. That's how you escaped.
12:29 pm

Hi Elder
12:29 pm

I thought perhaps I and my children missed a generation somewhere. And what an expert on apples we have here. I definitely learned something new today and I thank you all.
12:29 pm
Vicuna

Hello, elder.
12:29 pm
Haz1558

Stidgmere was talking about looking for dust. We're ever so slightly worried.

Rare apples ah yes... Darcy Spice.
12:29 pm
Haz1558

That'll be it, Vicuna. I'm refined and sonless.
12:29 pm
Scrabbler

I collect dust here
12:29 pm
Atalante

Stidgmere preferred searching for dust than talking to us
12:29 pm
Vicuna

Not just looking for dust, but looking for dust that needed dusting! Now that's just sick.
12:30 pm
elder

Dust .. looking for a waste of time. Here its very evident.
12:30 pm
Haz1558

You can understand why we felt we needed an intervention from a healthcare professional?
12:30 pm
Vicuna

Maybe we can start a National Dust Collection to go with the apples and fruit and all. I can make a generous contribution to get it started.
12:31 pm
Atalante

National Collection of Dust Bunnies

I will help.please please let me help

And Other Dust-forms
12:31 pm
Scrabbler

Maybe Stidgmere needs a nap, or did the grid make her loony?
12:32 pm
Haz1558

Can we get the nice CSI people in to tell us where all our dust comes from? They can shine torches and things and spray liquids and look handsome.
12:32 pm
Scrabbler

Alas, I must leave now to spend the aftrenoon with my late friend Mary's kids. The "baby" is 2 today---a big girl!
12:32 pm

Back later - looking for dust!
12:32 pm

We can also have a wing for Hair Golems. I can contribute Cat fur golems and Blonde Tangles.

I'm good. a little over half way on the grid, a bit difficult!
12:53 pm

I found it difficult at first but then BR mentioned the abundance of gerund and comparative endings and that made it much easier
12:53 pm
Anniebrook

elder, how are you doing?
12:53 pm
redturtlehead

that has made thing easier, I have been surprised at some of the things I could gerund!
12:56 pm

gerund everything :D

Annie, fine thank you, apart from winter is drawing in, less light and the clocks go back soon yuk, and how are you ?

No sign of winter here yet. Still in the high 90's. I want to get under blankets, not too many blankets though!!

90s may be a little hot for me, but would give it a go to miss this weather.

I got turned away today from donating blood cause my red blood cell count was .2 under the limit. Bah
4:27 pm
nrkii

I've only donated blood once, and it was a bad experience. Would like to get up the nerve to try again.
4:27 pm
KrisE

You can dehydrate yourself for a day and go back ;)
4:28 pm
KrisE

Used to give blood a lot; now they won't take it; they think I need it
4:28 pm
bichon

I have no problem with the donation part, but my Hb is always slightly under the Red Cross limit. I'm going to have to take iron pills
4:28 pm
KrisE

check with the doc, bichon
4:28 pm
KrisE

there are 13 different kinds of a6
4:29 pm
KrisE

iron-deficiency is most common, but not the only one.
4:29 pm
KrisE

I took iron for a few months; did nothing. And too much is bad for your heart
4:29 pm
nrkii

I have no problem having blood drawn for tests. Not queasy or anything. But only time I gave blood, I got light-headed, and in my effort to not pass out, ended up hyperventilating and making a huge scene during which I thought I was having a stroke... UGH
4:30 pm
bichon

My doc says I'm perfectly fine but the Red Cross has a very high standard. And they wonder why they're always short of donations
4:30 pm
KrisE

yeah, the first time I was turned down, I was like, "what do you mean?"
4:30 pm
jacq

the fear of being sued
4:31 pm
grant

second re6/21?
4:31 pm
nrkii

I got lightheaded because I really didn't understand the whole "did you eat" question.
4:31 pm
redturtlehead

nrkii, you can do it! be sure to drink something nice and sugary before hand, coke is my favorite.
4:31 pm
KrisE

Lol nrk
4:31 pm
nrkii

re 6 21 = to give off (as in, essence, odor, sound) again
4:32 pm
redturtlehead

I am not allowed to donate any more because I have been to Nigeria. have to admit, I am not that disappointed, though I have donated over a gallon of blood, and did give some in Liberia where they dont care so much if youhave been in Nigeria.
4:32 pm
nrkii

if you go to Nigeria, you can't give blood any more?
4:33 pm
nrkii

I should give blood just to have an excuse to drink a coke... I love coke.
4:33 pm
jacq

my brother works in nigeria
4:33 pm
bichon

I was in Africa and they let me donate after a year, but I was in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.
4:33 pm
redturtlehead

Aparently they have some sort of HIV that the red cross cant test for. I do not have HIV however.
4:33 pm

4:38 pm
redturtlehead

hi jmc...
4:38 pm
gortmold

oooh, why was that jmc?
4:38 pm
jmcnrick

the only reason I did it the second time was because my husband was having an operation and needed blood and it was prior to the tests for HIV
4:39 pm
jmcnrick

I am a complete wimp when it comes to needles
4:39 pm
jmcnrick

4:40 pm
jmcnrick

no the poker was fine -- it was entirely me
4:41 pm
redturtlehead

jmc, you get a vaso-vagal reaction. One of the secretaries at work had one when getting the flu shot the other day...
4:41 pm
jmcnrick

4:41 pm
gortmold

i had a baby doctor do a 10 minute botch job on a "vein" the otherday - hit nerves instead, Bruising covered whole forearm. THen he hit a geyser and i spurted - quite dramatic
4:41 pm
jmcnrick

well, that is why I don't give blood even though I would like to -- but my sister the universal donor does
4:41 pm
gortmold

woossy (or possibly wussy) = wimp
4:42 pm
jmcnrick

yikes gort!
4:42 pm
redturtlehead

oh gort, do not let those pretend MD's stick you, even real MD's aren't that good because they really dont do it often...
4:42 pm
gortmold

the grown up doctor came in and said wryly, "oh, he got you in the 2nd try? he's improving, last one was 10!"
4:42 pm
jmcnrick

wussy is a term of which I am not fond since it comes from a vulgar term for vagina
4:42 pm
redturtlehead

though I suppose its different in Australia...
4:43 pm
gortmold

LOL jmc, don't think ozzies make that connection, but if they did, it would only make them use it more!
4:44 pm
jmcnrick

the best person I know to give a shot was a dentist who talked while he was doing it and rubbed a different place on the gum simultaneously -- never felt it
4:44 pm
gortmold

it only ever applies to blokes; no such thing as a woossy woman
4:44 pm
jmcnrick

I am alone in my dislike of the term as near as I can tell
4:45 pm

good DR that is nice to hear! I just dealt with some nasty bullies today. this boy had two after school detentions for picking on one of my poor little booboos who is possibly autistic,calling him dorky and been in his class forever. then TODAY he called this other girl the "dorky twin" and her sister is the "cool twin" this girl is so fed up. over sensitive and a real sweetie, tired of this stuff
