hi

3:21 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:32 am

FMitch

Morning Haz if you are still there.

3:32 am

Haz1558

I am.

3:32 am

FMitch

Hello :)

3:33 am

Haz1558

Hello! The tumbleweed is rolling by.

3:33 am

FMitch

Indeed, the log has been v quiet. 'Tis another v grey morning but everso mild.

3:34 am

Haz1558

I know, the temperatures are varying so much it's hard to know what to wear.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Did you see the bit in the paper yesterday where a young couple are petitioning to have the church bells stopped during the night?

3:36 am

FMitch

Oh? really. Ours don't count the hours during the night but do strike the quarters.

3:37 am

FMitch

They should get some decent double glazing.

3:37 am

Haz1558

They're getting no support from the rest of the village who have never had a problem sleeping through. They strike the hour through the night.

3:38 am

FMitch

I must say the bells never bother me during the night.
I doubt they will win their case then.

3:40 am

Haz1558

They've brought forward some evidence to show that their sleep pattern is disturbed. However, theirs is the only complaint and it's apparently a very complicated process to undo the night time sounding. There was the standard press photograph of unhappy couple gazing towards the church.

3:40 am

FMitch

Hows the grid today, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

3:40 am

Haz1558

It's nice so far, there seems to be plenty of opportunity for add-ons.

3:42 am

FMitch

I may have to pass on it till later as I have quite a lot on today.

3:42 am

Haz1558

I don't think it will take you too long, not a slog, I don't think.

3:43 am

FMitch

oh now you are tempting me to get it done first :)

3:43 am

Haz1558

Now when have I ever tried to tempt you to procrastinate?

3:44 am

FMitch

*grin*

3:45 am

4:06 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxx.

4:07 am

lynxxx

this looks better than yesterdays

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's so much better.

4:17 am

Haz1558

Taking a quick break for a tidy up. I'll be back shortly.

4:18 am

lynxxx

do mine too will you

4:27 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:27 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

4:29 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

4:36 am

rubyfoo

I only have a few minutes before lunch. How are you lynxx?

4:38 am

lynxxx

tired and sore actually - think I might take a hot shower shortly - otherwise very well. More importantly how are you, trial prep is going OK?

4:39 am

rubyfoo

why are you sore? Yes, the trial prep is going well. I am only missing the statement from the "attending physician" who has been promising it for 3 weeks!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I am overwhelmed by all this paper, but I think the lawyer is good, thank God!

4:40 am

lynxxx

hunched over and on my knees scraping skirting boards for a few hours

4:40 am

rubyfoo

that is very hard work!

4:41 am

lynxxx

I hope the trial goes very smoothly with all this preparation. Your husband needs to attend? Is he OK with that?

4:41 am

rubyfoo

he doesn't want to go, but he must! He is in terrible shape with his back injury, severe pain, too much meds, but the court has to see that

4:42 am

rubyfoo

wow, I just found ki6/33, on my own! now I can go make lunch

4:42 am

rubyfoo

4:42 am

lynxxx

Is the intention to claim some sort of compensation for him as well?

4:43 am

lynxxx

see you later Ruby

4:43 am

rubyfoo

yes, the first hearing is for reimbursement for all expenses (lawyer, hospital, nurses, doctors and meds) and for the criminal case against the dog owner.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

Then, he has to be evaluated by a court-appointed MD for damages.

4:44 am

lynxxx

You had best be off - TY for the ki6

4:44 am

rubyfoo

the law yer said "It's not like in America, but you should be able to get 20K at least!

4:45 am

lynxxx

I am sure you would have both been happier without the money if it had n ot happened though!

4:55 am

Haz1558

And I'm back.

4:58 am

Haz1558

Nobody else is here so I'll say a quick hello to BR.

4:58 am

MollyL

I'm here Haz, good morning.

4:58 am

Haz1558

Hello, Molly, good morning.

4:59 am

MollyL

Although it's probably mid-day where you are, right? I don't usually remember the time differences all that well.

5:00 am

Haz1558

It's 11 o'clock.

5:00 am

Haz1558

Our clocks will go back an hour on Sunday morning.

5:01 am

MollyL

Ours go back next Sunday. I'm not a big fan of "dark at 5PM".

5:02 am

Haz1558

I know, it's not pleasant but it's all part of the winter experience, I suppose.

5:05 am

MollyL

I'm hoping for a mild winter this year. Last year's was brutal.

5:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, ours was much colder than usual although the blessing was that there was less rain. It's hard to be cheerful when you're soggy.

5:08 am

Soodlebum

Speaking of soggy - We are completely water-logged here today. Hi Haz, Hi Molly.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle. It's a bit drippy here, have you had more dramatic downpours

5:09 am

Soodlebum

Deluges. And high winds to boot. Its miserable.

5:10 am

Haz1558

Any flooding?

5:12 am

Soodlebum

I strongly suspect so, but I haven't heard anything official yet. If this weather continues, it will put a damper on the Hallowe'en festivities.

5:13 am

Haz1558

LIterally a damp squib.

5:13 am

Soodlebum

Indeed!

5:15 am

MollyL

Hi Soodle. I'm on an off this time of morning, getting ready for work. Soodle, how is your pub vote going? I voted for your place.

5:16 am

Soodlebum

Oh thanks so much, Molly. We are in the lead! (All the transatlantic votes I have solicited - I reckon I shouldn't have to pay for a drink till 2020).

5:17 am

MollyL

Great news!

5:18 am

Soodlebum

And, of course, if you were ever in this part of the world - a free drink or two would await you as well!

5:20 am

MollyL

Slainte!

5:20 am

Soodlebum

:-)

5:21 am

Soodlebum

I better go and do another bit of work.. :-(. Thanks again, Molly. You have a good day :-)

5:21 am

MollyL

See ya Soodle.

5:21 am

Haz1558

Bye, Soodle.

5:22 am

MollyL

Okay Haz, I'm off as well. Be back later.

5:22 am

Haz1558

Bye, Molly.

5:26 am

kje

5:27 am

Haz1558

Hello, kje.

5:36 am

lynxxx

Back. Hi kje!!

5:37 am

kje

hi - another early morning here

5:37 am

lynxxx

early for work or you just can't sleep?

5:38 am

kje

woke up... not going to work today

5:39 am

lynxxx

nice - so make yourself breakfast and go back to bed

5:45 am

FMitch

Hello hello, I'm back again. Hopefully for a bit longer than last time.

5:46 am

kje

hi

5:46 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM. Did you make any headway at all with the grid?

5:47 am

FMitch

Morning kje

No Haz, got sidetracked with flipping work again - I ask you!

5:47 am

lynxxx

hi FM

5:47 am

Haz1558

Priorities, FM.

5:47 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx!

5:48 am

FMitch

I'm trying my best honestly.

5:49 am

lynxxx

Yumm sounds like dinner is ready BBS

5:50 am

FMitch

Oh Haz I was watching Flog It yesterday and it was filmed at Castle Lissanoure, itsn't that where you went to a wedding this year? The gatehouse/arch/view looked v familiar.

5:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, you're right.

5:51 am

FMitch

Yay there is hope for me yet!

5:51 am

Haz1558

I've just found it on i-player.

5:52 am

Haz1558

Well, a clip rather than the whole programme.

5:52 am

FMitch

The beginning of the prog is where all the exterior shots are and they used the big barn for the show.

5:52 am

Haz1558

They seem to be using another hall in the grounds rather than the house itself.

5:53 am

Haz1558

And I see he headed up to the Causeway as well.

5:54 am

FMitch

thought you would be interested :)

5:56 am

FMitch

Just remembered that Ata is KWT today - hope it is not too inclement for her rock pool splashings.

5:56 am

Haz1558

It was a nice place, quite remote but very pretty.

5:56 am

Haz1558

She'll be in her element.

5:57 am

FMitch

True but just as long as she remeber that knee!

5:58 am

Haz1558

I know, her surgeon wouldn't be too pleased with her if she undid his good work.

5:59 am

FMitch

I do hope she will be sensible otherwise it could carry on into later life.

6:00 am

FMitch

I sound like my Mother!

6:01 am

Haz1558

You've arrived at that point where you realise that she might have been right about a lot of things!

6:01 am

FMitch

Noooooooooo!

6:01 am

FMitch

:)

6:02 am

Haz1558

I have realised that my mother's assurances that eating crusts would make my hair grow curly and that eating carrots would help me to see in the dark really were wishful thinking.

6:03 am

Haz1558

Straight hair and deteriorating eyesight in spite of YEARS eating the things just proves it.

6:03 am

FMitch

I suspect that kje is either a) zzzz'ing again or b) working industriously on the grid.

6:04 am

Haz1558

She might be sleep babbling.

6:04 am

FMitch

I had curly hair anyway so that one didn't work but I did fall for the eat your carrots story.

6:05 am

FMitch

I think it was Soodle that was babbling early yesterday without her glasses so could hardly see the screen and maanged to finish listless. What does that say?

6:05 am

Haz1558

Generations of dupes.

6:06 am

Haz1558

If she finished yesterday's listless and blind... I'm jealous.

6:06 am

FMitch

Why carrots btw, why not brussel sprouts or spinach?

6:07 am

Haz1558

I don't know. I liked carrots anyway so it was no chore.

6:08 am

lynxxx

back...the chicken in spices and yoghurt was delicious

6:09 am

FMitch

oh now that does sound good lynxxx.

6:09 am

Haz1558

Any carrots in there for sustained eyesight?

6:10 am

lynxxx

no, just had asparagus for green p**. In season and very cheap at the moment

6:10 am

FMitch

mmmmm asparagus

6:12 am

FMitch

The season for English asparagus is so short and it pains me to by imported stuff.

6:13 am

Haz1558

Well, I have to go, I'm afraid, but do enjoy the grid. See you later!

6:13 am

FMitch

Bye Haz and all this talk of food is making me think of munch.

6:14 am

Haz1558

Cheerio!

6:14 am

FMitch

or lunch even ... I think I will exit too.

6:14 am

lynxxx

Bye Haz

6:14 am

6:58 am

herinfernallady

Ewwwwwwwww FM you have that all to yourself (I hate Spread sheets)

6:58 am

zoozzoom

no, Carlee, the one you just mentioned is made with suet.

6:58 am

FMitch

lol no. it is a sponge pudding with raisins/currants.

6:58 am

FMitch

oh is it suet zooz, thought it was sponge.

6:59 am

carleekat

i've heard of..but as none of those are a pop desert here..i just do bandb with whiskey sauce

carleekat

ok....from what animal?

7:02 am

zoozzoom

it is a fat from beef or mutton.

7:02 am

sandr

cow i think

7:02 am

carleekat

ok..good...not the piglet kind of animal...

7:03 am

carleekat

7:05 am

zoozzoom

pleeeease stop..i am getting very hungry now..lol

7:06 am

mmm I usually make my own pastry but have never tried using suet. I noticed they had grated suet in the baking section at the supermarket....Thanks Sandr

7:08 am

lynxxx

...and suet in mincemeat and christmas puddings of course

7:09 am

lynxxx

I'm obsessing - must be the diet!

7:10 am

zoozzoom

yes the good thing about suet is, there is hardly any flavor so can be used for savoury or sweet pastry

7:11 am

lynxxx

sweet as well? like an apple pie or it need to be something stronger? would be nice for quiche too I imagine

7:59 am

herinfernallady

My friend syringe feed him as his jaw was wired shut. He is a lovely cat. She also thinks he is lacking his sense of taste.

8:00 am

rubyfoo

8:00 am

herinfernallady

Doggy Prozac :D We have been told there is a kitty hormone thing that is like an air freshener and it mimics mummy cat smell and mellows the kitty out

8:00 am

carleekat

hi bichon ... try it again

8:42 am

welki

ooh, i see. no, it's not accepted

8:43 am

welki

if you ca** a fishing line, pt is the same. if you belong to a ca** of a play, pt is the same.

8:43 am

welki

(that said, ca**ed is used all the time, isn't it)

8:44 am

bichon

my broken arm was ca**ed at the hospital

8:44 am

Anniebrook

ca 6/21 one who does

8:45 am

welki

hehe, mine was, too :)

8:52 am

MollyL

I think the "ed" is redundant. If you select people for a play,you are said to have ca4/5 the show.

8:54 am

carleekat

how many cups in 7 quarts?

8:54 am

welki

28

8:55 am

carleekat

ok..how many bags of popped microwave popcorn would that be?

8:56 am

carleekat

( i am so a child of the metric system)

8:56 am

NonoNanette

good question carlee. how much does one bag pop?

8:56 am

welki

six cups per bag

8:57 am

Anniebrook

8:57 am

MollyL

Approximately 14 bags. There are about two cups of popcorn in a bag of micro corn, I think. I make my popcorn on the stove.

8:57 am

NonoNanette

oh they make much more than that molly

8:57 am

MollyL

Welki you must have HUGE bags of micro corn.

8:58 am

NonoNanette

i would say 5 or 6 cups

8:58 am

welki

the measurement is confusing .. looking at a box and it says 'per 1/2 bag, about 6 cups popped,' but a bag certainly doesn't hold 12 cups

8:58 am

MollyL

Popped corn Nono? Really?

8:58 am

welki

nope .. good ol' orville

8:58 am

NonoNanette

yes molly i just popped one last nite

8:58 am

carleekat

ok... I think 1 more frying pan of popcorn adn i have my 7 quarts of popcorn popped

8:58 am

NonoNanette

it nearly filled my large mixing bowl

8:58 am

MollyL

Oh well Carlee, I guess you should measure the popcorn once it's popped. What are you making? Popcorn balls?

8:59 am

carleekat

and..am out of corn syrup..i thought i had another bottle..but no..so i have to wait for my son to come home with the car at lunch before i can go get my corn syrup

8:59 am

9:28 am

9:49 am

hurshy

oh, i'm having a rough time right now, trying to find a med that works, seeing if i can find a new job - i want a new job, but am frightened of change, in general, so it's a lose-lose period while i'm looking.

9:49 am

carleekat

oatmeal* even

9:49 am

Scrabbler

Med as in antidepressant?

9:49 am

hurshy

yes

9:49 am

carleekat

right...i just quit mine...i love the job..hate working for the person i was working for ( love her as a friend..but its hard to mix the friend/ work relationship thing)

9:50 am

Scrabbler

I do not like change either. I like routines + plans.\

9:50 am

carleekat

and i love change...funny... am forever rearranging furniture and stuff....

9:50 am

hurshy

i just watched a family ties issue about that very problem, carlee :)

9:50 am

hate routine

9:51 am

H, are you still on Z?

9:51 am

carleekat

ooh..family ties...i remember that show...i was in hs when it was out..HUGE rage here

9:51 am

hurshy

i like rearranging furniture - i just don't like big changes where i feel like i don't know what the new thing will be like and that i will have no control over it and stuff. better the devil you know than the devil you don't know, i sometimes feel.

9:51 am

carleekat

i hear u there too... it is scary...but...once done...the weight is gone :)

OK, that's the one I found.

9:56 am

redshoes

fo 5 rhymes with to lift up. means to force upon. past tense for the 7/44

H, there are lots of meds to try--Wellbutrin, Effexor, Cymbalta...trials + waiting is not fun but that's the only way to see what works best.

is anyone seeing their economy getting any better wherever you live

10:08 am

crosshair

it truly sucks here vddd....

10:08 am

hurshy

i know - zoloft hadn't done much for me in the past, so i was just trying wellbutrin, but it made it very hard to sleep, so, i'm going to try something else next.

10:08 am

crosshair

howdy everyone

10:08 am

vdddvddd

here too

10:08 am

redturtlehead

Well, Several of my friends across the country who were out of work have found work in the last 3 months, so yes.

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Nope, New York state could easily be bankrupt soon. Taxes are HIGH!

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

10:09 am

crosshair

we are now paying 4!!! taxes on our gasoline with the new HST taxation setup

10:09 am

scwabby!

people I know though who don't have degreesand some specialized skills are having a hard time.

10:10 am

Scrabbler

My attorney sister has been unemployed since late March!

10:10 am

crosshair

$1.03 a litre just times it by 4.11 to get our imperial gallon;(

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Yep, Crossy, our hard-earned money gets taken away.

10:11 am

crosshair

vdd here we have white collar office and factory workers getting downsized after 20 25 years,doing 3 mc,jobs just to keep things level

10:12 am

redturtlehead

Florida has always had a bad economy, given that we don't actually pay any state taxes...

10:12 am

crosshair

you can only hold out for so long for a job that fits your qualifications

10:12 am

vdddvddd

it just seems like it will never get better, although i've seen people on tv say it always will get better

10:12 am

crosshair

then its flip burgers,deliver papers,pump gas or go on welfare after your ei dries up

10:13 am

crosshair

30 year carrear men and women are fighting university grads for part time jobs!

10:13 am

redturtlehead

It will get better. It's just difficult to see it because it gets better slowly, whereas it got bad it seems rather quickly.

10:14 am

vdddvddd

it saddens me that everyone has to live with so much nervousness about all of it.

10:15 am

crosshair

the the jobs you do get are under staffed,and you are doing the work of 2 or 3,but on a work sharing 3 day week,so you need 2 or 3 jobs just like it

10:15 am

Scrabbler

So many people have lost homes, cleared out IRAs + 401k's...

10:16 am

crosshair

thank god for our health care or many would go down like the titanic...

10:17 am

redturtlehead

I do wish we had healthcare like yours cross, but at the same time, i wonder if I could get the medication I use under the Canadian program, since there are supposedly cheaper medicines that treat the problem...

10:17 am

hurshy

i don't think the country will ever ultimately get lots better. americans are too stupid and easily swayed by the equally stupid media, and congress is a mess. the normal cycles in past history seem to me to be likely permanently altered by the fact of 24/7 cable news, and there is nothing to un-entrench the power of the extremely wealthy.

10:17 am

crosshair

they are thinking of bumping retirement qualifications to 68..hell why bother saving for retirement,we are all going to drop in the traces

10:17 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbler, I did go to taking the singulair before running, HUGE difference in my life. Apparently it is quite expensive...

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Sadly, I think you are correct, H.

10:18 am

crosshair

some custom meds cannot be had red,i am talking bout basic broken bones and hospital stays..meds are another ting entirely

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Red. You could try an inhaled steroid--topical, not systemic, and less expensive.

10:18 am

redturtlehead

On that I agree Cross. We treated a pt from the UK yesterday for a heart attack. they will have another when they see the American bill....

10:19 am

hurshy

did you see the recent survey that showed that americans want the rich to get a larger share of the wealth than other people - so that there are incentives - but what they THINK the current wealth distribution is, is WAY less skewed toward the rich than it actually is, and what they want it to be is as well. we WANT a bit more socialism and we don't even know it.

10:19 am

redturtlehead

I love the SIngulair, because I apparently can not really inhale things properly.

10:20 am

crosshair

i never EVER travel without blue cross travel health insurance for that very reason red

10:20 am

redturtlehead

Things like Medicaid/Medicare and Social security are not exactly capitalist programs.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

In my practice we care for so many people in poverty--not working, on public assistance, and no incentive or push to work.

10:20 am

redturtlehead

yes that frustrates me,

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Red, you could use a spacer with mask. We have all of our kids do that. Or use a dry powder inhaler such as Pulmicort, Flovent Diskus, etc

10:22 am

crosshair

i mean the U.S gov is stuck,either health care for all,or insurance for those who can,and free clinics for the rest,other wise without,you can just start shovelling the people who cannot afford it into the ground

10:22 am

vdddvddd

our insurance at work went up 42% because my son had to have pins, screws and plates put is his ankle. It was because it was our first year on this particular plan with our carrier we've been with for 5 years (but using other plans). Our company shopped around and found other carriers at about the same premium we are currently paying.

10:23 am

Scrabbler

I am concerned about the attitude of "the government should take care of me because I can't/won't/don't want to."

10:23 am

crosshair

we ran into that issue years ago during the last years we were running the O.H.I.P plan,was costing a family of 3 amlost 300 a month for health insurance...

10:23 am

redturtlehead

I think I'll stick with the singulair, as it also helps with nasal allergy symptoms. I dont take it every day, so I can stretch the 30 day rx out for almost 6 weeks. It really is a fabulous medication.

10:24 am

redturtlehead

I feel pretty lucky with the insurance I have now, it is much better than what I had before.

10:24 am

crosshair

it is easy for those with money to say that scrabs,but 300 a month for just in case is beyond many

10:24 am

crosshair

and we pay for it believe me,at tax time,we just changes things so it was billed elsewhere

10:25 am

vdddvddd

300/month? our family premium our employer pays is $1180/month, plus we have $1000 deductible

10:25 am

crosshair

that way everyone is covered one way or another

10:25 am

redturtlehead

I think I would feel better about the government health care programs if they weren't so abused by the people participating in them. They show up at the ER for just anything, all sorts of things that really should be done at a Primary care MD office...

10:25 am

crosshair

an employer paid health plan..lol good luck with that here

10:25 am

Scrabbler

It's just that I see so many passive people that do not make an effort to learn a trade, be educated, have ambition, be a hard-working citizen. I realize there are the elderly, the chronically ill, etc.

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes, red, you and I see the abuse of services.

10:26 am

crosshair

that is part of what they are running into down there with obamas new ideas,you have those that are comfotable saying"i pay my health plan" why should i mpay it on my taxes for the rest?"

10:27 am

redturtlehead

exactly Scrabbs. I have a friend who has been out of work for 2 years now. She graduated High school. In the 2 years of unemployment, she has not taken a class or tried to learn a new skill..by now she could easily be working as a Nurse's aide.

10:28 am

redturtlehead

Parrt of the problem Cross is that people don't realize their taxes pay for all those stupid and costly emergency visits. I mean...do you bring your kid to the ED for a cough? or "ant bites" or lets see, "Crying a lot" I have seen all of those this week alone.

10:28 am

Scrabbler

Yes, no ambition, goals, self-respect really, and then what do their kids learn? That you will always be taken care of by the govt.

10:29 am

Scrabbler

People that do not wait until they can financially afford to raise a child, just make babies.

10:29 am

crosshair

the idea is not to abuse it red,and we are getting ready to implement a at the door user fee of 25 bucks or whatever,just to prevent the old ant bit 3 times a day thing

10:30 am

crosshair

if you abouse it,you lose it

10:30 am

redturtlehead

We tried to do that and people said the 3.00 copay they wanted to impose on medicaid recipients was somehow infringing on their rights...

10:30 am

redturtlehead

Oooh Scrabbs and I could go on and on!

10:30 am

crosshair

good lord

10:30 am

Scrabbler

Sorry, I am getting riled up. I do not mind paying taxes to help those that are chronically ill, elderly, etc but when people CAN be a useful member of the work force and they have no interest or incentive--big problem.

10:30 am

crosshair

so i take it that you do not agree with a govt heath plan scrabbs?

10:31 am

redturtlehead

I know, and they say this while texting away ont hier phones and smoking!

10:31 am

Scrabbler

The Medicaid Rx program is the best available.

10:31 am

redturtlehead

it is indeedy.

10:31 am

crosshair

so i hear waitresses make 3 dollars an hour there..bet she cannot afford a fancy health plan....

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Not for everyone, Crossy. Why mess up the 85% of people that are happy with their health ins in order to care for the 15% of people that need help? A govt plan will be awful, substandard, dictatorial, ...

10:32 am

crosshair

but maybe we should let this topic rest a bit

10:32 am

crosshair

so,we bury the 15%?..thats a lot of people...

10:33 am

redturtlehead

Health care plans are already dictatorial and many of them are awful.

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Yes, texting away on a Blackberry and purse has a pack of cigarettes and then they want a free Rx for Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, diapers, Nix, condoms.

10:33 am

redturtlehead

I would prefer everyone to have access to primary care, regular care for management of regular health problems.

10:34 am

crosshair

lol,the only way you get a free med ride here is if your on the welfare,and that is not pretty

10:34 am

Scrabbler

I just don't want the govt involved with everyone's health ins.

10:34 am

crosshair

yes red,that is our though,get things taken care of before they become huge

10:35 am

redturtlehead

It's a great idea Cross.

10:35 am

crosshair

i have heard of this for an example,a man breaks a rib or 2 at work,cannot afford a fancy plan,ignores it till there are so many complications that his care will now cost 20 times as much at a "free clinic' than if he had got proper care at the time

10:36 am

Scrabbler

Oops, my front door blew open because my nephew did not lock it on the way out to classes. And I must get ready to go meet friend for lunch.

10:36 am

crosshair

get it fixed timely and at a nominal cost

10:36 am

redturtlehead

this is true, but everyone is able to come to the ED and for broken ribs, thats appropriate to come to emergency for it...

10:36 am

crosshair

k tc scwaabu..blows a kiss;))

10:37 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Crossy + Red!

10:37 am

redturtlehead

have a great Day Scrabbs, good to see you here!

10:37 am

carleekat

ok...so..jumping in..crossy..i have the monster 6666

10:37 am

redturtlehead

what?

10:37 am

carleekat

but already at 3333 of 6666

10:37 am

carleekat

feel better scrabs

10:37 am

crosshair

the idea of hospitals for people with big insurance plans and one for all the rest is so bizzare to us now

10:37 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh carlee is floding proteins!

10:37 am

crosshair

yaa for carlee!

10:38 am

crosshair

yes carlee time to move to a diff topic

10:38 am

redturtlehead

We actually dont have that here cross.

10:38 am

carleekat

so how is elegant with her 100?

10:38 am

crosshair

she is now on the list and going at her second one now carlee

10:38 am

carleekat

( am here for but a moment...but been trying to catch crossy to let him know of the 6666...zooz has one too )

10:38 am

redturtlehead

hospitals are for all people. if they need to be admitted they are admitted regardless of ability to pay.

10:39 am

crosshair

that is as it should be

10:39 am

crosshair

but are they treated then billed into oblivion?

10:40 am

amelu0218

most hospitals I know of have financial services that can be applied for if the patient needs assistance...

10:40 am

crosshair

i am working on yet another 250 carlee..

10:40 am

amelu0218

but it's the patient's responsibility to follow up with them.

10:40 am

hurshy

if they have any money, yeah, crossy

10:40 am

carleekat

anyway...dashing out to get my corn syrup, foil roasting pans... spanish moss... black and white spray paint..plastic bugs, fake birds and maybe a fake mouse or 2 )

10:40 am

crosshair

so they are on a plan to pay for the next 20 years?

10:41 am

hurshy

sometimes...

10:41 am

amelu0218

no, some services are written off completely or only a percentage is required, depending on the income

10:41 am

carleekat

cripes..i think of what would have cost us with my ex husband and what happened to him.....cripes he had 5 ct scans in under 1 week

10:41 am

crosshair

boggling,let the taxes of all pay for health care then everyone regarless of wealty,status,income,etc can get timely care when needed

10:42 am

hurshy

one of my college friends happened to have a major medical incident right in a small window in which she had no health insurance - it became a huge problem for her.

10:42 am

ardilla

hi all

10:42 am

carleekat

but..my dad was 4 months waiting for chemo and radiation....

10:42 am

crosshair

i can imagine

10:42 am

ardilla

i like that idea, crossy

10:42 am

carleekat

we have +'s and -'s

10:42 am

carleekat

ok..poofing ttfn

10:42 am

crosshair

see/ that should not be,now when he does get in,he will need more costy care and may still lose his life

10:43 am

crosshair

ustilize the money when timely care can have the biggest benefit.then you may not have them back again and again and again

10:43 am

hurshy

americans are too easily fooled, however, into thinking that a system anything like canada or britain's will mean the government is getting involved in every little decision and not letting you choose your own doctor and stupid stuff like that that isn't true at all.

10:44 am

crosshair

i agree hurshy

10:44 am

hurshy

that's why so many people want to repeal the health care bill that we did get.

10:44 am

crosshair

the rich people who can afford the plans are now fixated on taxes to the excusion of all else

10:44 am

ardilla

i agree hurshy; that's why I prefer to live abroad

10:44 am

hurshy

which however certainly did not do all that it needed to do since it contains very little mechanism for controlling costs in the system.

10:45 am

crosshair

now our system is far from perfect

10:45 am

crosshair

but i got the care for my 3 cancers right away..i think i would of beed dead meat elsewhere

10:46 am

crosshair

some of the immune system injections that i needed were 500 dollars a shot..every day!!

10:47 am

hurshy

part of the problem with health care - as with the animal agriculture system - is that people would rather not think about the unpleasant truths of the existing system. with health care, people are horrified if you start talking about rationing care on any basis, without recognizing that we currently ration care on the basis of whether you have money. with animal agriculture, most people haven't any idea how terrible the suffering resulting from factory farming is. and if you try to tell them things like that, it produces so much cognitive dissonance that they just forget it as quickly as possible.

10:47 am

crosshair

here,any who want care will get it,and not lose their house

10:48 am

ardilla

what i find a bit humorous is people saying socialized medicine doesn't work for americans, when if you think about it, the military has socialized medicine

10:48 am

crosshair

it does ardillia

10:48 am

crosshair

and it seems to work well eh?

10:48 am

hurshy

yes, the VA system is very efficient and good in a lot of ways

10:48 am

ardilla

should have put a but before the when

10:49 am

ardilla

i think it does

10:49 am

ardilla

paid for 2 surgeries and lots of physical therapy

10:49 am

crosshair

that is the key,get the treatment,when it is needed,where it is needed,and know that everyone chips into the pot to pay for it at tax time

10:50 am

redturtlehead

we have payment plans, and in the US as long as you pay on a medical bill, something, like even 5.00, they can not send you to collections. but it is a very difficult thing, and we do a great deal of charity care.

10:50 am

crosshair

if you do not need it,fine,if you do,it is always there

10:50 am

ardilla

but no system is or will be perfect, but money shouldn't dictate when you can get care

10:50 am

crosshair

but see/ that should not even be a thought,get treated and move on

10:51 am

crosshair

snap

10:51 am

RTH!!!

Is eating something so high in calories worth the crushing feeling of guilt afterwards? I wonder...

12:44 pm

trentsnana

st 5/20 and st 7/52 - small pieces broke off a tree or bush

12:44 pm

trentsnana

Yes, it is Nancy!! Hahaha....

carleekat

nancy...i have a night of babysitting 23 8-11 year old girls....i will be up likely until 2 or 3 with them....damn straight i can eat it with so many calories...and damn straight no freaking guilt

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

obsessing about your weight is worse than anything, NB

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

how can you feel guilt about eating?

12:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Ah, I've always been an obsessor.

12:45 pm

crosshair

i have been close to death many times now and the last thing i want to do,is die with a bellt full of tofu and bean sprouts

12:46 pm

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

but it's not worth it about food, NB

12:46 pm

carleekat

crossy did dr god join the team?

12:46 pm

it's like dying and thinking, "Gee, I left stuff in my in-basket at work" NOT!

12:47 pm

i have asked him carlee,we shall see

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

reissued right of passage

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

crosshair

damn typos

12:48 pm

Nancy Boy

Hmmm, but I think eating well and healthily improves the quality of life by a long way...

12:48 pm

carleekat

note to crossy the new maple blueberry pie at mc d's is rather tasty

12:49 pm

MollyL

NB, I have declared it "Guilt Free Friday". No worries dear.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

it's possible to eat healthily without feeling guilty and the occasional pudding isn't going to hurt

12:49 pm

crosshair

i have almost been taken out by randon things nb..no good diet would of prevented them lol

12:49 pm

Nancy Boy

(Crossy, are you still on that diet? ...And are you feeling any benefits?)

12:49 pm

carleekat

nancy...i do this but 1 or 2 times a year....everything in moderation..and with what i have tonight to deal with....i thought...i am having a treat for myself...

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

that's how I feel, crossy, and that's beside the big C

12:50 pm

crosshair

i ended up losing 15 pounds and that was it,still 35 to go,but i am happy for the moment

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

I weigh about 96 lbs

12:50 pm

carleekat

i too nb...2ce have been mins away from death...if it were not for immediate medical attention ( surgery in under an hour of feeling ill )..i would be worm dirt years ago...

12:51 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm not judging, Carlee, just speculating ;)

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

but I'm short, so it's no big accomplishment... hahah

12:51 pm

Nancy Boy

Crossy, that's fantastic! Good for you...

12:51 pm

vdddvddd

sometimes my sisters in law say the word healthy so many times it's a turnoff to my other sister in law and me. they are so obsessed with what they eat and other people eat, but their marriages are not "healthy". The one sister in law even has her 20 year old daughter talking about black beans and fat free hot dogs for our cookouts!

12:52 pm

crosshair

lol,i mean cancer blindsided me 3 times,no amount of diet planning would of altered that,i almost drowned twice,fee through the ice into 100 feet of water,got run over by a car..etc..etc..not one bit of dietary management would of changed this

12:52 pm

carleekat

it kinda changes ur perspective on living...i realise...but obcessing about food...when tomorrow u could be gone b/c of some random thing...be it quirky health issue... or a accident beyond control...

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

amen, carlee!!!!

12:53 pm

carleekat

i had an ectopic pregnancy rupture ( did not know was pregnant) and a ruptured appendix....neither could have been prevented by dietrary changes either...

12:53 pm

crosshair

i mean on the way to work,i could be run ove by a bus,was my diet worry worth it? no

12:53 pm

vdddvddd

if they exercise and eat healthy they make sure everyone knows about it. I go to a gym and eat healthy when i can, but i keep it to myself.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

exactly vddd!

12:54 pm

crosshair

i mean worrying about tomorrow is like trying to empty the ocean with a tea spoon,the past is done,the future can be a thousand things with a thousand door leading to them,you can only worry about the now and be content

12:54 pm

carleekat

food is least of my worries...so much so i forget to eat......anyway....nuff

12:55 pm

Nancy Boy

Ah see, I'm missing out. I can't boast about my good health because I'm not healthy at the moment :P I need to eat more. Putting on weight is tough for me, so it'll be hard.

12:55 pm

carleekat

what did dr god say when u wrote him cross about the folding?

12:56 pm

crosshair

nancy boy,you honesty look like you have just got out of hospital after a long illness, i say this cause i care

12:56 pm

Soodlebum

Hi everybody. Oh (((NB))), How I wish I could share my capacity for gaining weight with you......

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

he needs to go to Ireland to eat some decent food!! {{soodle}}

12:56 pm

crosshair

he was non commital on the actual joining,but we shall see,sometimes it take days for a person to fold their first

12:56 pm

Soodlebum

Hey (((Rubes))). Its not the food..... its just the capacity to get fat by looking at the stuff.....

12:57 pm

Nancy Boy

Well I wouldn't go that far, Crossy!

12:57 pm

Nancy Boy

Hello, Soodles :) how are you??

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

but it's much better there than here!

12:58 pm

Soodlebum

I'm good, NB. Hope your perky?

12:58 pm

carleekat

ok..off to finish making my caramel corn..and make a couple demo terrariums for tonight

12:58 pm

carleekat

i'll be lurking

12:58 pm

crosshair

ok,i must lurk as well,real life calls for a bit...

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

send some caramel corn over here, please!

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

this isn't real life?

12:59 pm

MollyL

NB, it's all about loving yourself. Vdd, black beans and fat free hot dogs at a cookout? BLASPHEMY!

12:59 pm

Nancy Boy

totally perky today, Soodles, thanks :) though I should be stirring and getting something to eat right now, sigh

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

how about blackened hot dogs and baked beans?

12:59 pm

vdddvddd

they can suck the life out of everything.

1:00 pm

vdddvddd

i purposely make things that aren't so healthy just so i can see their faces get all pinched!

1:00 pm

Soodlebum

Good man, Nancy. But EAT!!!!

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

my son's wife is a severe vegetarian

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

she is nice about it, but it drives me crazy and it has made my son fat!

1:01 pm

Nancy Boy

Why on earth should it drive you crazy, Ruby? I'm a vegan..

1:01 pm

vdddvddd

I believe you can do whatever makes you feel good, but don't go around preaching about it just to bring attention to yourself.

1:02 pm

Nancy Boy

Aye aye, cap'n Soodle ;) just debating WHAT to eat, now!

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

having to arrange everything in advance at restaurants etc

1:02 pm

Soodlebum

How come, Ruby - I would have thought John would have lost weght on a vegan diet?

1:02 pm

vdddvddd

after a while, people don't want to hear about it and they don't care

1:03 pm

Soodlebum

Phone...brb

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

John, when he's not at home, eats whatever. And, at home, he overloads on carbs. He's a chub like his dad and I worry about his health (like his dad)

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

I agree with you, vdd.

1:04 pm

Nancy Boy

Veganism can't be blamed for him overloading on carbs...we do eat carbs, you know :P

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

it's just that when he's at home, he doesn't eat properly

1:05 pm

bethn

m motic

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

hello bethn

1:05 pm

vdddvddd

i'm glad you agree. sometimes i think it's just me. my one sister in law have to vent to each other all the time about the other in laws!

1:05 pm

Nancy Boy

I don't think you can really blame veganism for that one, Rubes...

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

no, you missed my point, she doesn't help him eat properly and he needs some guidance in that area

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

he makes up for what's missing with overloading on carbs instead of eating a piece of meat or an egg or whatever

1:07 pm

bethn

damn parrot

1:07 pm

bethn

hi all

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

vdd: everybody is an expert and it gets really irritating. I know exactly what you mean!

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

what is your parrot doing, bethn?

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

I hope it knows some good words

1:08 pm

Nancy Boy

Well, it's good he isn't eating eggs or meat. From that respect, he's probably healthier than you think! You are right though, carbs should not be substitutes for everything.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

what's wrong with eggs?

1:08 pm

vdddvddd

all i want them to do is just shut up about it. My son likes to eat healthy and work out, but he doesn't shove it in peoples faces.

1:08 pm

bethn

right now he is eating pomegranites and pistachios, before he jumped on keyboard while i was typing, hence the ubntimely entry in chog :)

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

give him a hug for me, vdd!

1:09 pm

vdddvddd

i can't right now, he's in college

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

does the parrot make a mess with the pomegranate?

1:10 pm

bethn

we are trying to avoid bad words ruby, but with no babies in the house our vocabulary has become colorful again

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

yo ho ho and a patch on my eye!

1:11 pm

Nancy Boy

Egg production is always cruel. Plus, eggs contain the highest concentration of cholesterol in any common food.

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

but if you could pick only one food to sustain you for the rest of your days, healthily, NB, it would be eggs or liver!

1:12 pm

Nancy Boy

Plus, about 70% of the calories in an egg is from fat, lots of which is saturated.

1:12 pm

bethn

yes, but i have him on a granite table right now so it is easy clean, and HE is supposed to have lots of fresh fruits and veggies. He eats much better than i do

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

around here, the eggs are produced in free-range farms

1:12 pm

sadie52

hello

1:13 pm

bethn

hi sadie

1:13 pm

Nancy Boy

It's still immensely cruel, Ruby. All egg production involves ritualised culling of male offspring.

1:13 pm

sadie52

Hi beth

1:14 pm

carleekat

so...anyone know where i put my gluegun?

1:14 pm

carleekat

i know not where it is

1:14 pm

bethn

in the hall closet unter the hats and mittens carlee

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

hi sadie

1:14 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Beth!

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

in my studio, probably, with my missing boots

1:15 pm

sadie52

Hi ruby

1:15 pm

bethn

Hi NB!

1:15 pm

bethn

i have 35 left, and am completely babble blind

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

I give up with 79 left! good night everybody

1:16 pm

Nancy Boy

so eggs = dramatically unhealthy. so think what he's avoiding, Ruby! lecture over, though.

1:16 pm

bethn

nite ruby, sweet dreams

1:20 pm

trentsnana

how is egg production cruel?

1:21 pm

Nancy Boy

Two main ways, Trent - a) as it only makes use of hens, it encourages the culling of thousands of male chickens. b) the majority of eggs still come from battery hens, which says it all, really.

1:24 pm

Nancy Boy

It's not my intention to lecture anyone...those are just the facts.

1:26 pm

MollyL

Carlee, did you sit on your glue gun again?

1:27 pm

Nancy Boy

weeell, I'd better go eat. Bye!

1:46 pm

trentsnana

must've been my experience with Tangle and Serpentine - ha

1:46 pm

trentsnana

Although I'm not that good on Serpentine.

1:46 pm

welki

ah, that's how i recognize you, trents!! another tangle/serp refugee! (my ip just crashes every time i try to play)

1:48 pm

welki

it amazes me how, in this cyberworld of millions and millions of people, how we can 'run into' someone we 'know'

1:50 pm

welki

... and how i can enter a room and immediately slaughter the chat

1:51 pm

periwinkle

what is serpintine?

1:51 pm

welki

it's a timed game, a little like boggle

1:52 pm

1:54 pm

welki

1:54 pm

periwinkle

meant trentsnana

1:55 pm

periwinkle

I am very pleased with myself, remembered how to cut and paste something to my web brower

1:55 pm

welki

there are only short breaks between rounds, so if you like to chat, you squeeze a lot in a small amount of time or sit out some rounds

1:55 pm

periwinkle

which has nothing at all to do with the current chat :)

1:55 pm

periwinkle

rather copy and paste

1:55 pm

welki

sure it does, if you cut and past the serpentine site :)

1:56 pm

2:29 pm

2:30 pm

kje

2:30 pm

it is how eye glasses are measured

2:31 pm

kje

di + chooser?

2:31 pm

Anniebrook

ooh, I got it, thanks, kje

2:31 pm

kje

yw

2:31 pm

Anniebrook

from your first clue.

2:32 pm

Anniebrook

kje, what happened to your ankle?

2:32 pm

kje

sprained

2:32 pm

Anniebrook

sorry to hear that

2:34 pm

kje

stuff happes... it isn't a bad sprain

2:35 pm

redturtlehead

Advice time, for holiday gifts....

2:35 pm

redturtlehead

I want to give my nephews a set of 2 way radios....

2:36 pm

redturtlehead

I hsould just give the set to one right? and let them play together with it...

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

and thanks kje for the clue!

2:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Ooh, what a cute gift, Red! If I were you I'd just address it to both of them.

2:37 pm

Anniebrook

why dont you put both their names on the gift tag

2:37 pm

Anniebrook

snap, NB

2:38 pm

redturtlehead

I just worry if one wants to take the pair to school to use with a pal...

2:38 pm

Nancy Boy

great minds ;)

2:38 pm

redturtlehead

they are less than a year apart so very friendly...

2:39 pm

Nancy Boy

I see your point, Red...are they at an age where you can reasonably expect them to share?

2:39 pm

kje

I would put both their names... we often got joint gifts, no big deal

2:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Ditto, Kje.

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

They are 6 and 7. soon to be 7 and 8, I was thinking of making a gift for the 8 yr old and getting the 7 yr old something else that was just his...like a lego set. They do share, but...I would hate for Matthew to want to take them on a sleepover and Andrew to get pouty.

2:42 pm

kje

either is fine

2:42 pm

redturtlehead

Ok I think I will actually confer with the parents, and go with the parental preference...

2:43 pm

redturtlehead

My sister and I also often got sharing gifts, and was not that big a deal...

2:43 pm

Nancy Boy

Good plan, Red :) when in doubt..

2:43 pm

redturtlehead

thanks and how are you NB.

2:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh, very well, thank you! Just thinking about the sharing gifts thing..I think it's a really nice idea. My sister and I never really did that, because our gift-giving holiday was Korean new year. The gifts for that are more specific..how are you, Red? :)

2:46 pm

MollyL

Red, my older two are 18 months apart. They got a set of walkie-talkies given to both of them and they were just fine with that.

2:47 pm

redturtlehead

that helps. They are on sale for 39.00 from REI so it's not that expensive of a gift. Did they use them?

2:47 pm

MollyL

This was many years ago, but yes, they used them and had fun with them.

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

oh good!

2:49 pm

kje

Jillyjill

Hi good

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

no trust me, my sister is a yellow dog democrat like me

4:44 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Good Enough.

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

it is meant to be scary! lol last year i dressed up like the grim reaper and held a tombstone made of washington post front pages

4:45 pm

Jillyjill

We are going to see a production of "Hair" tonight....can't believe the number of people who have told me "You know there's nudity in that play?"....lol...look...I AM 52!!!

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

the party is mainly newspaper reporters or former newspaper reporters

4:45 pm

Good Enough

we had a fun Halloween parade today...my last one as my youngest is in 5th grade!

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

i guess they are afraid you will be shocked!

4:45 pm

Jillyjill

Well, then sis must really be taking our current wave of fanaticsm seriously...

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

always loved the halloween parade

4:46 pm

Vicuna

lol, Jillyjill. They just want to protect your tender sensibilities.

4:46 pm

Good Enough

lol jilly

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

the district is already filling up with people for the sanity rally

4:46 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...at my age and married for 29 years...hell a little youthful male nudity will be good for my soul!!

4:46 pm

Vicuna

Nice, Good Enough. My kids were supposed to dress as vocab words for school today.

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

what they don't realize that if you are 52 you have probably seen someone nakid before

4:46 pm

bichon

re 6/33?

4:46 pm

Vicuna

Cute idea, although I was pretty peeved to learn I'd have to help them put together two costumes each - one for school and one for trick-or-treating.

4:47 pm

Good Enough

my daughter dressed as Flo the Progressive girl

4:47 pm

Vicuna

re6/33 - stick up on the bulletin board again

4:47 pm

bichon

ty Vi

4:47 pm

Jillyjill

lol good enough

4:47 pm

Good Enough

oh yeah, two costumes not fun

4:48 pm

Vicuna

Daughter was "blizzard" and son was "unequal." Actually they were very easy and low-key so it was fine.

4:48 pm

Good Enough

i wanted her best friend ( a boy) to dress as allstate mayhem

4:48 pm

Vicuna

lol

4:49 pm

Jillyjill

I used to give my kids a 2 week minimun date for my making a costume!

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

why two costumes each?

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

i made all my nieces costumes which were very complicated and required sewing

4:51 pm

Good Enough

we had some yummy spiked hot chocolate to keep us warm during ( and after) the parade. they walk right by my house so my friends always gather here.

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

my boy always wanted to be something like a pirate (using his daddy's eye patch and a scarf) that was so easy i was disappointed

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm spiked hot chocolate

4:51 pm

Good Enough

no sewing! i can cut, glue, trace, paint but NO sewing!

4:51 pm

Vicuna

Oh yeah, JillyJill. They have to have decided and no changing their mind by the beginning of OCtober if they want me to make it! Son will be a phoenix and daughter a Hogwarts-type witch. But then school just last Friday announced that kids should wear a costume representing a vocab word, so we had to put something else together, too. But they were fine in the end.

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

i can sew i worked my way through college patching jeans (patches on jeans were all the rage back in the vi ctorian years in which i went to college)

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

oh i see vic but that is very clever of the school

4:53 pm

Vicuna

I always sew something or other for my kids, although they're getting old enough now I may soon have to tell them they have to make their own.

4:54 pm

Vicuna

Best ones I ever made was when they were 2 and a half and they were Salt and Pepper. They were adorable!

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

my favorite of my nieces was when she was a bat but the skunk was cute too

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

my favorite of my boy was when he was paparazzi!

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

gave him a fedora and lots of cameras and camera bags

7:28 pm

Nancy Boy

Right, Molly! It frustrates me on the basis that my parents chose to transliterate our last name as 'Kae'. It could have been 'Gay'. What a wasted opportunity!

7:28 pm

J. C.

And 'bomb', 'comb', 'tomb'...

7:29 pm

'Though', 'through', 'trough'...

i learned russian starting in 3rd grade, whole 'nother alphabet. But at least i had a better idea of what the swear words my baba was yelling at my uncle meant :)

7:29 pm

J. C.

I wonder why I'm not receiving them? :/

7:29 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Beth...regardless of the language, the swears ALWAYS come first.

7:30 pm

bethn

yup, my uncle (by marriage) was italian so i was a multi cultural curser

7:30 pm

J. C.

Ah, Pini - if you go to the link at the end of my bio you'll notice I've added the 'Enable' word list as a link.

7:30 pm

hootowl

yes! Mine were Italain!

7:32 pm

Nancy Boy

it is better to swear in a foreign language not recognized by your family. I learned that the hard way

7:33 pm

bethn

need help NB?

7:33 pm

hootowl

nah - they can tell by the tone anyway!

7:33 pm

J. C.

Jesse, just ask if you want clues...

7:33 pm

Dorens

hi all... bethn i didn't know you studied russian. so did i, back in high school, and there is a little boy in our school who is new to the country... it is so exciting for him to correct my pronunciation!

7:33 pm

J. C.

Haha, bethn - too true. :P

7:34 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks, but now it's personal. I'm going to do it, I'm not going to enjoy it, and I'm going to get angry with it :P

7:34 pm

Dorens

hope you end up enjoying it nb, that's the point, isn't it?

7:35 pm

bethn

i grew up in a small russian community dorens. my baba and her family were 100% russian. because of our location our elementary school offered russian rather than french or spanish. i continued in HS.

7:35 pm

Nancy Boy

not always, Hoot ;) not if you smile sweetly...

7:35 pm

Dorens

what town beth?

7:36 pm

bethn

I can still read it pretty well, but my speech recognition is only good if someone is speaking slowly. MY baba told me she couldn't understand me what i learned was too high class :)

maplewood is acroos the river from Troy up the river from albany. It was a stop on the erie canal. we used to play in one of the abandoned locks and walk to school on the towpath.

7:38 pm

wht

It is just that Arabic is such a gutteral language that it sounded angry to my ears, even when it wasn't.

7:38 pm

bethn

i sound like one of the pioneers sheeesh

7:39 pm

Dorens

you do indeed...... and i agree about arabic, wht

7:39 pm

bethn

yes dorens i live in rockaway

i am jealous dorens, i would love to have attended the rally

7:40 pm

my favorite is portugese... so soft that it's squishy. one of the reasons i adore brazilian music

Okay, I concede defeat. Any clues for the de6? It's just not happening.

Ohh, is the theme cupids today? Well. Some would say I'm angelic enough already. ;)

7:44 pm

m9f9l

oh yes.. that's what we ALWAYS say when talking about you. "oh, that Jesse?? He's such an ANGEL!"

7:45 pm

Bugsaw

sometimes Cupid can be an annoying little guy

7:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Well I'm good at that too, Bugs ;)

7:45 pm

J. C.

Ah. Well some certainly seem to have that impression of him, m9...

7:45 pm

Bugsaw

but we would never stab you in the back NB

7:45 pm

J. C.

Which is about as accurate as perceiving me as one. :P

7:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Actually, my own personal cupid is right here in the chat. He can be my mascot for today - it was Julian that brought me together with my current boyfriend!

7:46 pm

m9f9l

or shoot you in the back either.

7:46 pm

m9f9l

that's right!!

7:46 pm

Nancy Boy

some of you wouldn't Bugs, no!

7:46 pm

m9f9l

7:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Julian! I'm shocked.

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

You are a matchmaker too then JC! What diverse talents you have

7:47 pm

m9f9l

I could photoshop some wings onto Tarzan.....'\

7:47 pm

m9f9l

no. no. that would be too much.

7:47 pm

Bugsaw

photoshop some on JC

7:47 pm

Nancy Boy

We should, M9! Or I should, at least...I get tired of staring at myself sometimes. Not often. But sometimes ;)

7:50 pm

m9f9l

yes.. it would be appropriate for you to have J.C. as your icon today ;-)

7:51 pm

Nancy Boy

I love yours though, very renaissance!

7:53 pm

m9f9l

ah.. at first I had the Raphael little cupid.. but then I remembered that when Elina was a baby, Aiden used to tell people "my little sister looks like a Botticelli angel"

jmcnrick

8:53 pm

bethn

senegals are so funny! this guy is larger than a timneh, slightly smaller than a congo grey. he is much more mellow than our grey, but very territorial. I don't think he would do well with other birds, as it is he wants to eat the cat

8:53 pm

crosshair

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

too true too true

9:15 pm

bethn

i can remember growing up doing crosswords with my gram, her teaching me esne as a word that meant slave or laborer. I have used it for years in word puzzles, but not babble, but cwms, enable loves cwms

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

i once went to a halloween party all dressed in white and covered with paper carnations

9:16 pm

crosshair

as a seasoned babbler i now have cwms emblazoned in my mind forever

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

people would ask me what I was and I would say I am an incarnation

9:16 pm

bethn

lolol

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

then they would laugh and say why aren't you a re-incarnation and i would say. . .

9:17 pm

crosshair

you could dress on glow in the dark plastic carnations and you could be a reincarnation

9:17 pm

crosshair

snap

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

because i couldn't figure out how to dress up as an australian sand piper (crossword clue for re)

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

then they would move away from me

9:18 pm

crosshair

people move away from me for various reasons,i used to question it,now i just enjoy the elbow room;))

9:20 pm

m9f9l

hmm.. like when I put a little cone nose on Tim and two cardboard circles and some rope on me.. and when they asked what we were I'd say "ratman and bobbin!"

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

lol

9:20 pm

m9f9l

I'm used to a lot of elbow room too.

9:21 pm

bethn

my husband and i went as acrossword puzzle (me ) & a pencil (him) . when we got to the party we parked on a hill and he got out almost the felt tube that was the pencil did not allow for much stride, the emergency brake failed and the car started rolling backward. I was stuck in the seat because my puzzle a sancwich board with a crossword was on both sides of the seat. we rolled down the hill, bob rolled free , the car went over a 4 ft retaining wall and landed in a neighbors yard. at least i didnt drop the brownies... Needless to say it was our last costume party

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

goodness less drastic measure would be not to park on hills

9:22 pm

bethn

sorry, not much punctuation there

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

very good that you did not drop the brownies i am impressed

9:22 pm

bethn

9:24 pm

bethn

9:24 pm

crosshair

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

a girls gotta have a sense of humor

9:35 pm

crosshair

9:35 pm

crosshair

palin

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

part of her campaign was that she could field dress a moose

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

just what you want in a vice precident

9:36 pm

crosshair

lol,i have done that,and would love to see her have a go at it

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

of course teddy roosevelt could too

9:37 pm

bethn

i always hope god does, my son was just in a play that was very satirical re the catholic church. all my friends looked at me and said " travis is going to hell"

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

i can field dress a fish or a duck and that's it

9:37 pm

bethn

she is going to have a reality show sarah palinns alaska. you might get a chance to see her do just that

9:37 pm

bethn

i can dress a wriggly 2 yr old

9:38 pm

crosshair

i cant wait to see her crawl up into the carcass and cut the jugular...

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

i wouldn't want to give her the ratings even if i wouldn't throw up at her just being there

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Hi.

9:39 pm

crosshair

howdy herin

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

there is a great video from the campaign where she was in a turkey processing plant and they shove a live turkey in a grinding machine right behind her he**

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

hi herin

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

How you?

9:39 pm

bethn

i will not watch it either jmc. i just hope it further erodes whatever little credibility she has left in some peoples eyes

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

there will always be some people who admire her

9:39 pm

bethn

hi herin, you're back

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

I am watching http://tinyurl.com/35nfvcc fantastic movie

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

i saw it it is quite good

9:40 pm

bethn

i guess i can accept someone admiring her, but voting her into high office??

9:41 pm

crosshair

i have not folled her exploits,when did her star crash,last i saw everyone was following her round and wearing her type of glasses....

9:41 pm

crosshair

followed

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

she was falling even during the campaign but she still has a following

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

Um You talking about Pallin?

9:42 pm

bethn

pretty soon after she said that she can see russia from her back yard, and could not name a newspaper that she read except for the wasilla news

9:42 pm

bethn

yes herin, she is going to have a reality show now

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

yeah because i said two years ago i went to a halloween party as her carrying a toy moose

9:43 pm

herinfernallady

Good lord. I really think that she is a little bit sheltered from the real world

9:43 pm

herinfernallady

Awww JM

9:43 pm

bethn

she has no in depth knowledge of the world, or our country for that matter. she does have a huge amount of catch phrases and down home pithy sayings that seems to endear her to some people

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

i would hold it by its little legs and say *I can field dress a moose*

9:45 pm

bethn

and while she might be a perfectly nice woman, that does not qualify her to be pres. or vp or senator, or anything higher than mayor of wasilla

9:45 pm

crosshair

lol,thats funny..she looks like the type to go into a panic if she breaks a nail

9:45 pm

bethn

no, she is pretty earthy crossy. they really polished her up for the campaign

9:46 pm

crosshair

ahh

9:46 pm

jmcnrick

and bought her hubby silk boxers with taxpayer money

9:47 pm

crosshair

one of our electorates spent 12 grand of our money on his own retirement party lol

9:47 pm

bethn

she is very outdoorsy and active. a woman i know on another forum knows her and likes her well enough as a person

9:48 pm

crosshair

so a pair of boxers would not bother us overmuch

9:48 pm

herinfernallady

I am getting a bit over fixing FB stuff

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

i enjoyed the british $$ scandal

9:49 pm

bethn

11:10 pm

hootowl

Hi again stid - wandered thru the house deciding what to put in storage. Making room!

11:11 pm

stidmama

making room???

11:11 pm

hootowl

How far along were yoi?

11:11 pm

stidmama

for more craft supplies? books? fancy choclits?

11:11 pm

stidmama

down to 55. quite satisfied, just staying awake for a little.

11:12 pm

stidmama

tom and the boys are at the football game.

11:12 pm

hootowl

We are packrats and he does woodworking and I do crafts. all of them!

11:12 pm

hootowl

I decided we should switch rooms and my stuff went into the living room.

11:13 pm

stidmama

where did your living room go???

11:13 pm

hootowl

Trick or treaters need to be accessible from front room - so lots of stuff going to storage.

11:13 pm

stidmama

we are packrats too, a bit -- and between me, him, the boys, the dog... *sigh* no energy to go through anything just now.

11:14 pm

hootowl

Into the family room where it always was really. But that's in back of the house so front has to be neater.

11:14 pm

stidmama

ah. I see. we don't get trick or treaters, don't really "do" halloween

11:14 pm

stidmama

LOL

11:15 pm

hootowl

In our last place we got ONE. Here we've been told it's usually about 30. But it's also on sunday so who knows???

11:16 pm

stidmama

true. hard to judge. when our boys were little we had several families on the street with kids their age. No one now, and since we are rural and no driveway lights we just turn off all the lights and hide...

11:16 pm

hootowl

At least I have not seen any sign of people coming in from outside the area so it should be fun.

11:17 pm

stidmama

I think you'll enjoy it.

11:17 pm

hootowl

I also figure it's a good way to meet the neighbors.

11:17 pm

hootowl

Oh and after you left I finished off our candy corn!

11:18 pm

hootowl

actually there is another bag... but no! I'm not gonna touch it tonight. Have to be able to sleep!!!

11:19 pm

stidmama

that's the best part of halloween, I think. I love candy corn. Or used to. not sure I can still eat that -- have to check the label again.

11:19 pm

hootowl

What are you allergic to?

11:20 pm

Christine

Now, is it wortwhile to start a grid at 40 minutes to ...?

hootowl

you may get 40 words if you type fast. Maybe more. Up to you.

11:21 pm

stidmama

I am allergic to anything bovine -- cow, goat or sheep; wheat, eggplant, hibiscus... there's something else. Things like gelatin, etc can be deadly.

11:21 pm

hootowl

ok - brb

11:21 pm

stidmama

go christine go!!

11:22 pm

Christine

I doubt I know 10 K words

hootowl

Oh that is great! Never would have thought of covering the pumpkin with them.

11:23 pm

hootowl

try!

11:23 pm

stidmama

I need two more K words. there is a funny ke combo that is a short form for "budgie"

11:24 pm

hootowl

11:25 pm

hootowl

hootowl

11:25 pm

stidmama

11:25 pm

stidmama

I eat a lot of cheerios for breakfast.

11:25 pm

hootowl

11:26 pm

Christine

11:26 pm

stidmama

11:26 pm

hootowl

only ki that's strange is weird spelling of a smooch

11:26 pm

stidmama

and drink a lot of soy and almond milk

11:26 pm

hootowl

try!!!

11:26 pm

stidmama

the ki 6 makes me think of karma

11:27 pm

hootowl

How do they taste? Not like milk I assume

11:27 pm

hootowl

right

11:27 pm

hootowl

remember the ed and er and I think there was an ism

11:28 pm

stidmama

it has been so long since I was able to taste cow's milk. some of the newer soy milks (like Silk) are not very beany to me. I like almond milk for baking too.

11:28 pm

hootowl

well for baking it's just added flavor

11:29 pm

stidmama

yep. for things like biscuits and "savory" foods I use unflavored soy milk. for other things almond milk or vanilla-flavored soy.

11:29 pm

hootowl

Is this something that has a;ways been a problem or something that developed over time?

11:31 pm

stidmama

probably was always there -- I tended to have all kinds of skin, digestive and respiratory problems as a child. When pregnant with our elder surviving child couldn't tolerate cow things, and once off them the allergy got worse and worse. the eggplant one has always been really bad -- skin bleeds on contact.

11:31 pm

mcurlschool

hi there stid

11:31 pm

stidmama

the others are getting worse over time. newest problem has been with "something" in sunscreen -- they turn my skin and clothes orange now and leave me feeling raw somehow.

11:32 pm

stidmama

hey MCURL!!!!! ((((hugs and hugs)))) how's the littlest one? how are you?

11:32 pm

hootowl

I should discuss this with you. We go to visit Clint's bro & sis in Idaho every other year. Next year is next. I already tiold him I want a meet up with you. We will be in Boise. Only an hour from the border so Portland or wherever is a snap. Opinion?

11:32 pm

mcurlschool

11:32 pm

11:43 pm

11:44 pm

jillibus

11:44 pm

11:45 pm

jaianniah

TY, Jilli! Will accept virtual marg's anyday!

11:45 pm

stidmama

*shudder* sounds pretty awful, jai. *puts choclits aside for later*

11:46 pm

jaianniah

Yes..I am glad the doc did not tell me until the day before the surgery...

11:46 pm

jillibus

stid -- this si the Irish author of "An Irish Country Doctor" and the following series I think you would all love. He is a retired doctor and an absolute delight. As is his partmer, Dorothy Tinam, also Irish and an artist.

11:46 pm

stidmama

oh yes, you have mentioned him a couple times.

11:47 pm

jaianniah

But the results have been awesome..already, my hands have dropped a ring size and I can wear bracelets again!!!

11:47 pm

stidmama

Perhaps when I come to see you again you'll introduce us?

11:47 pm

stidmama

oh that is GOOD news, jai! I love good news!

11:47 pm

jillibus

oops -- tiddly typos -- Dorothy Tinman. He is Patrick Taylor, and they both have websites.

11:48 pm

jillibus

I will indeed introduce you -- if they're here -- they travel a lot.

11:48 pm

jaianniah

Yep! I am hoping to resume piano, too!

11:48 pm

jillibus

Jai, that's GREAT!

11:48 pm

jaianniah

Had to stop because I could not maintain the stamina in my hands

11:49 pm

stidmama

she has some nice art, jill (of course)

11:49 pm

jillibus

Hooray for modern medicine.

11:49 pm

stidmama

I can't help thinking wizard of oz with that name, though...

11:49 pm

jaianniah

But I looked at where I was when I stopped- Beethovan Piano Sonata #14...No way can I play that...to rusty!

11:49 pm

jillibus

Hehe -- not in Kansas, right!

11:49 pm

jaianniah

*too

11:50 pm

jaianniah

I wish I could swallow solid food...I am getting tired of smoothies and ice cream

11:50 pm

stidmama

I can do a few of the etudes I used to, but nothing more. hope to get the piano tuned again before the new year. then will play more.

11:51 pm

jaianniah

Yes, do get it tuned..makes all the difference! Great incentive!

11:51 pm

jillibus

jai -- try Beethoven's (?) Farewell to the Piano -- my mother's favourite, which I taught myself decades ago. Googleable. Now apparently only "attributed" to him. Supposedly his last composition, and ok for fairly new piano students.

11:52 pm

jaianniah

I have a very old upright with gigantic sound..I love it

11:52 pm

jaianniah

Thanks, Jilli, will look it up!

11:52 pm

jillibus

I've never had a piano -- would have loved one. Too late now.

11:53 pm

stidmama

I know it makes a difference... just haven't had money when I had time. you know... one of the children has perfect pitch, I have very excellent relative pitch (tinnitus makes things a little askew), so an out of tune instrument is like walking on glass shards for us.

11:53 pm

stidmama

NEVER too late, jill!

11:53 pm

jaianniah

NO! NEVER TOO LATE!!!! I love teaching adults!

11:53 pm

stidmama

snap, jai!

11:53 pm

rururocks

I'd play piano but I get too keyed up..

11:53 pm

jillibus

No, I mean I have no room for a piano and no time either. I just enjoy.

11:53 pm

jaianniah

Yes, I am cursed with that pitch thing...hate the "clinker" keys!

11:54 pm

stidmama

RURU!!!! (((((many many hugs))))) haven't seen you in a while again. are you well?

11:54 pm

jaianniah

Hahaha, ruru
