2:03 am
rubyfoo

I hope that Lance keeps riding and chatting with the other riders. I don't think he's a quitter.....
2:03 am
sandyloo

Cant believe my change of icon has appeared - miracles do happen
2:04 am
sandyloo

Ruby , he says he knows he won't win but will enjoy the rest of the tour and will help his team
2:06 am
rubyfoo

have you noticed the difference between him and Contador where whichever rider is next to him, French or not, has an animated conversation? And Contador never talks to anybody except his buddy Novel
2:07 am
sandyloo

I don't want Contador to win , but he has such a good team and the only person Cadel seems to have is Frank Hencappe (can't spell it)
2:08 am
sandyloo

I felt very sorry for Lance though - he had such bad luck
2:08 am
rubyfoo

I though Schleck looked good on Sunday, but there's something a little strange about the blankness of his eyes....
2:09 am
rubyfoo

I love this grid!

2:30 am
jillibus

thanks, melon
2:31 am

2:31 am
rubyfoo

I can't imagine what the hu4 is.....
2:32 am
jillibus

it's just a grunt

rubyfoo

2:40 am
rubyfoo

and then kicking that ball around.....
2:41 am
sandyloo

I am going to be exhausted tonight - its a big mountain stage I think?
2:41 am
sandyloo

and it is near you , right?
2:41 am
rubyfoo

yes, but you can come here afterwards....very restful house!
2:43 am
sandyloo

We could have wine and dissect the tour. What fun!
2:43 am
sandyloo

what time is it there for you Ruby, 3.43pm here
2:43 am
rubyfoo

what time will you watch it? so I don't comment and spoil your fun since I see it live
2:44 am
rubyfoo

9:43AM
2:44 am
sandyloo

I think we see it live - it starts at 8pm
2:44 am
sandyloo

what time does it start there for you
2:44 am
rubyfoo

so 6 hrs difference -- doing the math hahah It is over here at around 5:30PM, so 11:30 for you
2:45 am
rubyfoo

we get live coverage from about 2PM until 5:30, some days a little more
2:46 am
sandyloo

so that means we do see it live too
2:46 am
sandyloo

usually starts when they have about 120 kms to go
2:46 am
rubyfoo

that's nice! My son's wife (in Austin TX) tapes it and then watches during the next day
2:47 am
sandyloo

I do that too, as you know but last stage I stayed up
2:47 am
rubyfoo

you commentary is in English, though, n'est-ce pas? So who does the countryside commentary?
2:48 am
sandyloo

I love the mountain stages and oui! il est en Englais
2:48 am
jillibus

over halfway :)
2:48 am
sandyloo

Phill ligget is one and I love him and others - Matthew Keenan among them
2:49 am
rubyfoo

it is a wonderful French lesson for me but one of the commentators is very sick with cancer. Last year he was having chemo and had no hair, but this year, he only does the interesting days and has hardly any voice. It is really sad, but nice that they keep him on and are so loyal.
2:49 am
sandyloo

Jill you must be bored with all this tour talk - do you like it?
2:49 am
rubyfoo

sorry jill, we sports fans must be a pain!!
2:49 am
sandyloo

c'est terrible, Ruby
2:50 am
rubyfoo

so you have French; I'm impressed!
2:50 am
jillibus

don't mind it -- and I'm pretty much buried in the gird anyway -- carry on!
2:50 am
sandyloo

lol seulement un peu
2:50 am
jillibus

*grid
2:51 am
rubyfoo

I keep trying outen for your sake jilli. Maybe if we enter it enough, we'll convince enable!

2:51 am
jillibus

are you talking abut the tour de Fance?
2:51 am
sandyloo

yes we are , we both enjoy it
2:51 am
jillibus

and that was lol, ruby. Obviously bedtime.
2:52 am
rubyfoo

yes, we are both fans with disinterested husbands. And here, women absolutely hate it!
2:52 am
jillibus

de France, as you know I mean.
2:52 am
rubyfoo

my French girlfriends think I am nuts!
2:53 am
jillibus

There's a Canadian doing well in the tour -- big surprise. I think he's from BC.
2:53 am
sandyloo

I thought everyone in France loved it
2:53 am
rubyfoo

hejesdal or something
2:53 am
sandyloo

I would love to see a canadian do well
2:53 am
rubyfoo

no, they mostly think it's boring
2:53 am
jillibus

you mean uninterested. You would prefer a disinterested judge to an uninterested one.
2:54 am
rubyfoo

I have to check, but he may be on an American team, maybe HTC Columbia, but my tour book is 2 flights away!
2:54 am
rubyfoo

*my command of English is slipping*
2:56 am
jillibus

Yes, Ryder Hesjedal
2:56 am
jillibus

lots of people say disinterested when they mean uninterested. Big difference!
2:57 am
rubyfoo

appropriate first name!
2:57 am
rubyfoo

I will root for him! but my favorite name is Wesley something or other from Flowery Gully, Australia
2:57 am
sandyloo

2:57 am
rubyfoo

2:57 am
jillibus

2:58 am
rubyfoo

Ooh, happy birthday, Sandy!
And yes, thanks George!! It was nice getting online to see messages like that - I managed to sprain my ankle falling off a table (oops) so they all cheered me up no end ;)
4:45 am
Gеогgе

I hope you got something better than that?!?
4:47 am
sandyloo

4:47 am

4:47 am
Gеогgе

4:48 am
Nancy Boy

Yeah thanks ;) kind of a long story actually, but lots of my friends got together to get me a trip to South Korea - so I get to tell my relatives that I'm actually, y'know, alive. So I'm scared to death and totally excited!
4:48 am
Gеогgе

we play this acro game, some of my m8's and I, where you take a word and expand it like it's an acronym
4:48 am
herinfernallady

*NB on the grounds you may incriminate yourself?
4:48 am
Gеогgе

and that reminds me of the best I came up with in our games of that, which was............
4:48 am
FishFishGarden

like Acrophobia?
4:48 am
FishFishGarden

used to play that non-stop when I first got online
4:48 am
Gеогgе

LAMPSHADE: Lightcover, although maybe party style hat, after drunken excess!
4:49 am
Nancy Boy

I would George, but if I get on msn now I'll be there for hours, and really I'm just waiting for Frank to finish washing his hair ;)
4:49 am
Gеогgе

yeah, that's it exactly, m8!! lots of fun!
4:49 am
Gеогgе

we play it in messenger chats, have some laughs!
4:49 am
Gеогgе

you know, you can converence, several people in one window on MSN and that.........
4:49 am
Nancy Boy

LOL! Well no lampshades for me...not this time, anyway...
4:50 am
Nancy Boy

I'm sure I'd humiliate myself terribly if I played any kind of wordgame with you and the others ;)
4:50 am
Gеогgе

yeah, I see Jesse, don't see you on much! could be cos I've been here, there and everywhere else lately!!
4:50 am
Gеогgе

that's a really nice photo of ya, Jesse
4:51 am
Nancy Boy

yeah, I'm not around much either! Working really antisocial hours recently, so usually when I get online there's nobody there...
4:52 am
Nancy Boy

Hey, thanks! Friend of ours edited for me, for some reason when it was taken it was bleached of all colour...I deserve technicolour ;)
4:52 am
Gеогgе

oh yeah? I keep some odd hours somtimes, but if I sign on and see no one I want to chat with online, I sign off again, which probably doesn't help, ha!
4:52 am
Nancy Boy

Haha! Patience is a virtue you know :P
4:53 am
Gеогgе

I stay invisible and just go off again, or else I'm bombarded with messages, should take some people off there!!
4:53 am
Gеогgе

patience is fine, for those who have time for it!
4:54 am
Nancy Boy

Oh fiiiinally. Right, his lordship is now finished in the shower, which means I'd better get myself in there. It's no joke on crutches!! But lovely to see you here, and hopefully I'll see you around soon :) xx
4:54 am
Gеогgе

7:48 am

Hi, JBV :) oh, it's so embarrassing...I topped off my birthday celebrations by, errr, falling off a table and tearing a couple of ligaments in my ankle.
7:49 am
SeaSpray

I thought I told you to be safe NB?
7:49 am
JBV

um, not sure what to say, hope it was worth it? so sorry about your ankle, tho
7:51 am
Nancy Boy

LOL Sea, I'm just an accident waiting to happen...
and thanks, JBV :) it's alright, the kitties are scared of the crutches, though!
7:51 am
SeaSpray

do you have to go to therapy?
7:54 am
Jayk

Morning everyone! Yikes, NB! And when do you go to Korea?
7:54 am
Nancy Boy

therapy? nahh, just an ankle brace and some crutches, though I think they're just slowing me down, honestly ;)
7:55 am
Nancy Boy

Mornin', Jay :) end of August, I'm off. So, so excited/scared!
7:55 am
Jayk

it's a HUGE trip for you. will you tell people you're coming or just appear?
7:56 am
Jayk

and what LOVELY friends you have!
7:57 am
Nancy Boy

oh I know Jay, isn't it great of them?! I burst into tears. What a baby :P as for telling them I'm coming, as far as they know, I'm dead, so I guess I'll just have to show up - not sure if they'd believe me otherwise!
7:57 am
Jayk

how long will you be there?
7:58 am
JBV

NB, i'm wishing you a wonderful trip - I'm sure it will be very emotional. It will be amazing no matter what.

7:59 am
Nancy Boy

Eva!! I thought I'd missed you :)
8:00 am
Nancy Boy

oh, thank you, JBV :) yeah, whatever happens, there'll be tears for sure...mostly from me, I'll be honest ;)
8:01 am
JBV

NB, I'm crying over a family reunion and I wasn't even there ! My brother just reunited with family we haven't seen in YEARS ! - so many stories to catch up on
8:01 am
EvaNadine

oh, how nerve-wracking and exciting all at the same time!
8:02 am
Nancy Boy

JBV, that's awesome! So happy your family has been reunited like that, what a great story!
8:02 am
Nancy Boy

Oh man Eva, depending on the hour, I'm both madly excited and completely terrifed.
8:02 am
JBV

NB, the story's in my profile, so I don't have to bore everyone, but I am so wrapped up in it, it's wonderful
8:03 am
EvaNadine

you will have to scour korea for some lovely orange courts for me. ;)
8:04 am
Nancy Boy

JBV, that story is far from boring. That's so sweet and inspiring!! So happy for you :)

8:14 am
Nancy Boy

You'd hate it, Eva...August there is like, the height of the rainy/humid season. You step off the plane and into what feels like a hot, wet flannel..

Kallia

does anyone know how to remove spirit dyes from skin?
8:21 am
EvaNadine

does anyone know how to un-skrink a dress that shrank in last nights wash? :/
8:22 am
Kallia

why the sarcastic remark?
8:22 am
Atalante

buy a new one!
8:22 am
Judi

What are spirit dyes?
8:22 am
EvaNadine

it IS a new one. :/
8:23 am
Atalante

take it back if it wasn't your fault it shrunk
8:23 am
Nancy Boy

hmmm, Kallia. Has scrubbing and praying not worked? I think they should be soluble in meths, right, but you may not wanna put that on your skin...
8:23 am
Kallia

they are wood dyes, which I'm using to dye metal, they are brightly coloured..and a bottle popped and went every where
8:24 am
EvaNadine

im fairly certain i washed it on cold. cold is supposed to not shrink stuff, right?
8:24 am
Judi

Hmm. Lemon juice? Peroxide?
8:24 am
Kallia

yep meths helps but really don't want much on my skin...guess it will have to wear off
8:24 am
Judi

Eva - did you put it in the dryer?
8:24 am
Mom

Oh Kallia, that is awful. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
8:24 am
Mom

Good morning everyone
8:25 am
Judi

Hiya, Mom!
8:25 am
Kallia

well I frightened other half, it was bright red I was using
8:25 am
Mom

Hi Judi
8:25 am
Kallia

bloodbath!
8:25 am
EvaNadine

yes. :/ i put everything in the dryer + nothing else shrank. just that one.
8:25 am
Atalante

white spirit? turps?
8:25 am
Mom

I can only imagine Kallia
8:25 am
Judi

Dryer is where stuff shrinks. Bummer.
8:26 am
Nancy Boy

lol, Kallia! Did that once with red paint in an art class...hours of fun.
8:26 am
Kallia

meths is what you dilute it with, but I may try some neat turps later...at least on my hands
8:26 am
Mom

Eva, look at the tag and see if it might have to be line dried
8:26 am
Atalante

but still, if it doesn't say "no tumble drying", I'd take it back
8:26 am
EvaNadine

kallia -- do they have Goo Gone in your hardware stores over there? i have used that to get all sorts of stuff off of skin.
8:27 am
Kallia

eva I'm sorry for my thoughtless remark, I trhought you were taking the p....
8:27 am
Kallia

never heard of it...will go look thank you.
8:27 am
Mom

if it says you can put it in the dryer, I would take Ata's suggestion and return it
8:27 am
Judi

Goo Gone rocks! I love that stuff. And it doesn't have any nasty chems in it.
8:27 am
EvaNadine

s'ok kallia. chog timing sometimes makes things seem other than what they are...
8:28 am
EvaNadine

will have a look at the tag tonight. guess i should have read it before washing. :/
8:28 am
Atalante

*facepalm* Eva!
8:28 am
Kallia

ah Amazon UK has it.....I will go search see if it is sold at any of the hardware chains....
8:29 am
EvaNadine

i never read tags unless the fabric seems like something special. this was a little cotton number from target...
8:29 am
Atalante

well there's a lesson for you!!
8:30 am
Judi

*smug* Just found the 10.
8:31 am
EvaNadine

i could still make it work with tights or leggins, but its now too short for work. if i cant exchange it, its now stuck as a weekend dress.
8:31 am
Atalante

yay judi!
8:31 am
Atalante

at least you can still wear it though!
8:33 am
EvaNadine

hrm. the website says line dry. :/ im gonna guess the label does too...
8:34 am
EvaNadine

thought it was cotton. website says rayon.
stupid man-made fabrics.
8:35 am
Atalante

gah!
8:36 am
Kallia

seems to only be available on line.....I've ordered some, seems pretty useful stuff to have around, thanks Eva
8:36 am
EvaNadine

YW kallia
8:37 am
EvaNadine

so, maybe i could try washing it again and hanging it to dry.... maybe it will stretch out??
*wishful thinking*
8:37 am
lynxxx

Try wetting it thoroughly and line drying it Eva - it may unshrink
8:37 am
Kallia

Hang it up dripping so that the weight of the water may stretch it
8:37 am
Judi

Take it to drycleaner's. Maybe they can stretch it. Some do offer that service.
8:42 am
EvaNadine

*pokes NB to see if he is still conscious*

Haz, just curious: do you also get to screen the phone calls for real emergencies? And are you expected to help people verbally when possible?
10:58 am
Haz1558

Yes, sometimes it's just to make appointments, but you do get to give advice on what HAS to be seen and what can wait.
10:59 am
sprite

very interesting. You must know a lot about your husband's work to be able to do that.
10:59 am
Haz1558

I've learned over the years.
11:01 am
sprite

I remember when Terra couldn't walk at all all of a sudden and I panicked. And the vet said if it was that sudden, it was probably a virus and not something really bad. But I was glad I could come the same day anyway, even though she was right.
11:01 am

and have some great tales to tell - still waiting for you to write the book btw.

11:02 am

Hey Dorens!
Was reading your cricket posts earlier!
11:03 am
Dorens

ah! have you ever seen the beasts? they're truly grotesque. my cats don't particularly care for them, either
11:03 am
FMitch

No never seen them thank goodness, they look evil.
11:03 am
Dorens

actually this photo is rather mild... can't really see the size
11:03 am
FMitch

looks like a cricket crossed with a spider *shudder*
11:04 am
sprite

she told me it would have to wait because they had no time, and then she called me that somebody wasn't coming and we could come. Anyway, Terra was pretty young then and couldn't hold any water or food, so I was glad they could help him fast.
11:04 am
Dorens

the worst is when they jump at you! have read many internet sites... blogs etc. apparently people do call them sprickets because of that, fm
11:04 am
Haz1558

I know, it's reassuring.
11:04 am

Dorens, it is a bit creepy that size. And loads of them is a bit too much even to my taste, brrrrr.
11:05 am

11:05 am

being a vet is not just about animals, I guess, but also a lot about the owners and their psychology.
11:05 am
Dorens

yah... down in the garage, i saw six (r possibly more) huddled together on one wall. tomorrow, the garage is being cleaned out and "bombed"
11:06 am
FMitch

I am sure you are right sprite.
11:06 am
Dorens

the psychology of pet owners can be quite interesting, i'm sure. of course we all love our pets,but some people ....
11:06 am
FMitch

is this a yearly occurance Dorens?
11:06 am
sprite

some people don't love them and some 'love' them too much.
11:07 am
Dorens

i've always had a few down in the garage or laundry room... but the number this year is just outrageous
11:07 am

11:07 am

11:07 am

She is SO sweet!!!
11:10 am

i like kahlua too... used to enjoy it with cream (black russian?)
11:11 am
CadFan

Fineena would be perfect - but no one else agreed with me...
11:11 am
FMitch

lol Dorens
11:11 am
Dorens

no, i think white russian, but why would kahlua be in a drink called white russian?
11:12 am
FMitch

Fineena is an interesting name, where does that come from?
11:12 am
CadFan

White Russian is actually kahlua, cream (or milk) and Vodka
11:12 am
CadFan

Fineena is Gaelic (or Irish)
11:12 am
CadFan

It means Beautiful Child
11:13 am

12:15 pm

Hi bichon- we just got the call today - need to be in Boston on Thursday for pre-op and Friday for surgery
12:15 pm
Riverdance

here we go again
12:15 pm
bichon

Surgery?
12:16 pm
Riverdance

same but different - we will find out more when we meet with the team on Thursday - they have all the records and results from the last one
12:17 pm
bichon

I've been away in Maine. What happened at the angiogram?
12:19 pm
Riverdance

it wasnt an angiogram. He was under anesthesia for 10 hours - full electrical study - they tried to find the extra pathways but ran into complications. He has a large aneurism on the backside of his heart in one off the branches of the coronary artery. Too dangerous to go any further without additional testing besides he was under for so long. Dartmouth couldnt get him in again soon and felt he needed this taken care of asap.
12:19 pm
bichon

Wow! I am so sorry to hear that he needs more surgery.
12:20 pm
Riverdance

us too bichon - its really tough on him
12:20 pm
bichon


What hospital in Boston?
12:20 pm
Riverdance

he is just getting back on his feet and we do this to him again - he will be going to Childrens Hospital
12:21 pm

That's the hospital which was feature on the show "Boston Med". It must be world class

Obviously, Crossy, you didn't receive three toasters and four blenders, when you married. Also, nowadays so many coupples no longer live with family prior to marriage, and already have some stuff. With a registry, friends can contribute to something that's really needed.

5:12 pm
jacq

5:13 pm
crosshair

and if you wish,you can use skype as your primary home phone for around 30 dollars per year
5:13 pm
crosshair

we are at the point where we are ready to dump our traditional land line in favor of smart phones and skype
5:14 pm
jacq

i understand the benefits now ty
5:15 pm
crosshair

But there is a cavet,skype cannot do 911 ,so in my case i have to dial my police station direct and then they hook me to dispatch
5:15 pm
welki

(which can cause problems if you're incapacitated and don't have the police station's number handy)
5:16 pm
welki

and .. if you don't update your physical address with your online phone provider and get patched to a 911 dispatch, they won't have a current address for you
5:16 pm
crosshair

our cop station is town number and 4321..so not a big issue in this case
5:17 pm
crosshair

indeed,you have to be able to speak your address
5:18 pm
crosshair

but with the smart phones in harmony with skype it is ok,i cannot live my life poised for a future disaster..not a way to live
5:19 pm

5:40 pm

indeed,i just ran into the same pita
5:50 pm
crosshair

i think i sahll stay with my original plan,and blackberry lost by a nose also
5:51 pm
crosshair

the blackberry is better if you travel,then you can swap simm cards as needed
5:51 pm
welki

lucky for me, all my kids are techno-savvy and do all the research (and testing) before i make a purchase .. they tell me what they've purchased and then, like a sheep, i follow their lead :)
5:51 pm
crosshair

if you generally stay in the same province or state then it is a non issue
5:51 pm
crosshair

lol welki
5:52 pm
welki

roaming is ridiculous no matter where you go or what you have ... best to buy a phone card and leave the phone home
5:52 pm
crosshair

i do all the techno for this house,i researched for a year before i chose my wife reader
5:52 pm
welki

not so bad if you buy your phone in the states (my kids call here free) ... but the reverse is never true
5:53 pm
welki

it's pretty funny, crossy ... when we do make independent purchases, both the kids and we find we buy the same products
5:53 pm
crosshair

well with the newer smart phones you ncan do a double whammy,you load skype into your cell and call the kids that way
5:54 pm
welki

doesn't it use a lot of data?
5:55 pm
crosshair

data is only used during page turns i believe,or ims etc..im still researching it all
5:55 pm
sammysmom

clue please for tge in 7/40
5:55 pm
crosshair

i am going to be running my internet through my cabler line,that way my land phone line becomes totally redundant
5:56 pm
welki

don't have it sammy .. sorry
5:57 pm
welki

here's the answer, crossy: kype recommends an unlimited data usage plan for using Skype over a mobile data connection to avoid being charged by a wireless service provider for 3G, GPRS and EDGE mobile data usage.

5:57 pm

6:04 pm
Riverdance

I have exciting news - my DH has been staying home with Keith as he cant be alone - special suppers made two night in a row - new recipes and everything - whoohooooooooo
6:04 pm
welki

nah, i don't think you kill the chat. i think that chat is always iffy ... sometimes on, sometimes off, sometimes populated by lurkers. sure, some folks might be uncomfortable because they don't know what to say, but this community is pretty supportive
6:04 pm
bichon

DH = Dear Husband?
6:04 pm

6:10 pm
Riverdance

6:10 pm
welki

when we go on the road, we pull a boat behind the motor home ... but once, we took an extra vehicle so we wouldn't have to pack up every time we wanted to venture away from the camp site
6:11 pm
Riverdance

we have been doing some remote camping these last few years in Maine - you boat in your stuff or hike in a 1/2 mile from logging road - trust me, we boat in as much as we can
6:12 pm
welki

ohhh, that sounds great, but like you said, 'ohhh, your aching back!
6:13 pm
welki

i have to go for a while ... happy lasagna!

6:23 pm

6:25 pm

one tip i have found,replace buns and normal bread with whole wheat bagels..it makes a huge difference
6:25 pm
Riverdance

Thanks Jilly - I will - I need to call him anyway so perfect
6:26 pm
Riverdance

I only eat wheat anyway - have gained 10 in 12 weeks - just need some physical activity - but this 90 degree weather is killing me along with the mega deer flies
6:26 pm

9:35 pm

9:35 pm
Jellen

I'm at home...
9:36 pm
Jellen

Will drive back tomorrow...
9:38 pm
dcseain

ah, now that i know what a 1st gh5 is, ag6 makes a lot of sense. We have so many words for apparitions/specters
9:38 pm
dcseain

is it far?
9:38 pm
Jellen

90 miles
9:39 pm
dcseain

that's no too bad. I hope he improves quickly
9:39 pm
Trifioso

back. didn't get it finished, due to hysterics from the
"victim" -- honest to god, I don't know how much more of this I can take....it's always a MAJOR production, complete with howls of "child abuse!"
9:40 pm
dcseain

get her a Dorothy Hamill cut
9:40 pm
Jellen

Poor Trif!
9:40 pm
Trifioso

I am two seconds away, I promise!
9:41 pm
Trifioso

had a lovely day prior to this....work in the morning, and then off to the beach with the girls. primo was at an all-day rock fest, so he's a happy guy. it's all good.
9:41 pm
Pinikula

make her take of her own hair, trif; that'll teach her!
9:42 pm
Trifioso

we tried that pini-- she just doesn't do it, and then it gets all matted and impossible.
9:42 pm
welki

how old is she, trif?
9:42 pm
Pinikula

dreadlocks are in nowadays!
9:42 pm
Jellen

Oh, then snip, snip!
9:43 pm
dcseain

for dreds, have to start short
9:43 pm
Pinikula

I'm sure matted and impossible might fast-track that, dc!
9:44 pm
Trifioso

11, but with some issues, welki. the ped told me to ignore it until some girl or boy at school tells her she is yucky, tells her hair is gross, etc, and then apparently she will fix it herself. But oh, the idea of letting it wait that long!
9:45 pm
welki

does she care about her hair? i mean, does it matter to her what it looks like? (so long as she lets water pour over it in the shower, i'd vote with the ped ... even though i know it must be driving you nuts)
9:48 pm
Trifioso

no, she doesn't care. not at all.
9:48 pm
Pinikula

perhaps shortening it to a length she can manage on her own, but still long enough that she can ask to doll it up?
9:48 pm
Magyk

evening all
9:49 pm
Pinikula

hi magy
9:49 pm
Trifioso

you know what? I am giving up on it for now. I just want to finish the grid. she can go pound tar, I have had enough of her dramz for one day.
9:49 pm
dcseain

hi, magy
9:49 pm
Trifioso

hello magyk
9:49 pm
welki

maybe she does care ... or she wouldn't have gotten so upset. **kids**
9:50 pm
Pinikula

give her the comb...make her do it; otherwise, consider following ped's orders?
9:51 pm
Trifioso

I am actually pretty sure this is another facet of her learning issues coming to the forefront. she really may be experiencing this as torture - she does not integrate stimuli correctly at all times, so it may actually be painful....
9:52 pm
Pinikula

oh, sorry, to hear, trif
9:52 pm
Trifioso

thanks. moving on....
9:52 pm
welki

then maybe let it be ... water, bottles of 'no more tangles' and time
