hi Ruby
6:16 am
herinfernallady

Hi frozen Ruby
6:16 am
rubyfoo

blizzard is continuing. Fortunately, we have food in the house
6:17 am
rubyfoo

more than a foot and no signs of it stopping
6:17 am
lynxxx

and 2 large furry dogs to cuddle up with
6:18 am
rubyfoo

they haven't plowed our little road, so we're basically stuck
6:18 am
herinfernallady

Ruby it is amazing what you can do with canned foods :D
6:18 am
herinfernallady

All else fails I guess you could freeze food outside (extra freezer room)
6:18 am
rubyfoo

does anybody know a medicatyionfor dogs for a sore foot, itchy too, that won't hurt them if they lick it off. I am afraid to use a cortisone cream and we can't get to the vet.
6:19 am
rubyfoo

that is called a French fridge, herrin, lol
6:20 am
herinfernallady

PawPaw cream is good Ruby
6:21 am
lynxxx

Try bathing in warm salted water perhaps - should dry the feet out too. If my other dog had wounds that were festering I used to wash with peroxide, watered down it wouldn't hurt if they licked it
6:21 am
herinfernallady

Depends why the dog is itching. Is it a ''I am nuts and have to chew my foot'' or is it ''this is itching because there is an irritant''
6:21 am
rubyfoo

I will will look for PawPaw cream and will buy peroxide if we can ever get out of the house!
6:22 am
rubyfoo

for Max, it's because he's nuts, and has OCD and autism. But with Ruby, it is something else
6:22 am
lynxxx

Probably wet from the snow! need to dry the feet out
6:22 am
rubyfoo

she was biting her foot for two days before I could locate the problem (last night), and she won't let me touch it
6:24 am
lynxxx

teaspoon of salt in a glass of hot water to dissolve - usually soothing as well as healing. Good for eyes too
6:24 am
herinfernallady

As Lynxx said the salted water is great. IF you can blow dry the foot after. My cat likes the blow dryer
6:24 am
rubyfoo

happily, I have salt in the house (LOL) and will do that now. However, it will take both of us to allow it!
6:25 am
rubyfoo

she is a big, stubborn dog!
6:25 am
lynxxx

thats what treats are for!
6:25 am
rubyfoo

will cook up some chicken liver for he, too
6:25 am
rubyfoo

6:26 am

7:00 am

I got Ruby all medicated and bandaged -- salt water bath, drying, cortisone cream, antibiotic, gauze and tape
7:00 am
herinfernallady

Hi Ruby
7:01 am
rubyfoo

she wanted to play after, so it wasn't too traumatic
7:01 am
jmcnrick

hi all
7:01 am

hi jmc
7:01 am
jmcnrick

what happened to ruby?
7:01 am
SaraY

Hope all that tlc does the trick ruby
7:01 am
herinfernallady

Hi JM
7:01 am
rubyfoo

I bandaged her the way the nurse bandanged my husband!
7:01 am
herinfernallady

Ruby can you get doggy booties for them?
7:02 am
rubyfoo

she has a bad spot on her leg and has removed all the fur and keeps biting it
7:02 am
rubyfoo

with all this snow, I can't get anything but maybe I could put one of my socks on her. That's a good idea
7:03 am
herinfernallady

Then she would eat the sock :D
7:03 am
rubyfoo

I think the cortisone cream helped the itching and if the bandage stays in place for a while, I will be less worried about her ingesting it
7:03 am
herinfernallady

I mean when she goes outside to pee
7:03 am
rubyfoo

there are always orphan socks
7:04 am
jmcnrick

*sets up a charity for orphan socks*
7:04 am
rubyfoo

am I the only one who winds up with odd socks?
7:04 am
herinfernallady

No but I have a solution same colour and brand
7:04 am
jmcnrick

lord no i have so many from the various socks of the boy they have their own room
7:05 am

7:05 am
rubyfoo

7:06 am
jmcnrick

a good time to babble and read ruby
7:06 am
rubyfoo

there's plenty of food in the house but husband is extremely cranky; I wish I had a tranquilizer dart!
7:07 am
rubyfoo

his doctor suggested I put Max's prozac in his food!
7:07 am
jmcnrick

lol your poor hubby!
7:07 am
herinfernallady

I agree
7:07 am
jmcnrick

well we are having a torrential rain with tornado warnings here
7:07 am
rubyfoo

7:08 am
jmcnrick

oh I thought you doc thought you should drug your hubby
7:08 am
rubyfoo

does anybody have the first letters of the 8's and 10's ( or even one of them?
7:08 am
rubyfoo

yes, he said I should give him Max's anti-depressant
7:09 am
poodletoes

the 8 letter ci word was a triple crown winning horse
7:09 am
rubyfoo

7:10 am

and why is drugging husbands a bad idea. lol
7:10 am
jmcnrick

ty poods
7:11 am
rubyfoo

actually, I have more than one girlfriend who has resorted to that at one time or another.....
7:11 am
jmcnrick

well i am guessing it is illegal though maybe not in france to give a person an animal drug without their knowledge
7:11 am
jmcnrick

but depression in the elderly is widespread
7:11 am
herinfernallady

We have had humidity.
7:12 am
jmcnrick

is it boiling hot herin
7:12 am
rubyfoo

no, I am giving Max people drugs, my MD writes the scrips because the vet never heard of prescribing prozac for an autistic dog
7:12 am
rubyfoo

or an autistic dog, for that matter
7:12 am
jmcnrick

lol well that is a little better!
7:12 am
rubyfoo

I got the idea from Temple Grandin and it has worked wonders on the dog
7:13 am

i got a weather warning on my blackberry
7:14 am
MollyL

I didn't hear anything on the radio or see anything on WUSA's site. I heard high winds until 9AM, but nothing about tornados. Yikes.
7:14 am
herinfernallady

JM no it isn't hot but it smells like wet dog and is clingy as a wet towel. Didn't make my day I had to go out there
7:14 am
poodletoes

when my dog gets too wound up and frenzied, I put her on my lap and hold her tightly so she cant move and soon she just completly relaxes. I have heard some people do that with their autistic children.
7:15 am
jmcnrick

probably just a tornado watch rather than warning but until 10 am
7:15 am
rubyfoo

Temple Grandin built an apparatus that does that for her

8:01 am

ab 10 is ab 6 + charged particle?
8:01 am

that only makes a 9 letter word

I was off rushing around trying to dress and do housework, etc. as I had bumped my hair appointment up to 9:30A and I got a call from the salon saying that they needed to reschedule me since my stylist is running late. So now that is bumped back to this afternoon too! (1:30PM, the original time again)

I should use a few commas and periods for clarity, shouldn't I? That was quite the run-on sentence!
9:13 am
car.eeyore

LOL Molly!
9:17 am
Nef

:-P Molly, I have what is "kindly" referred to as "difficult hair" --fine, thin, and stubbornly straight. This stylist is the first one who hasn't criticized it (in my whole life!); and she cuts it so it does stand on end (with Product). So, aside from the color, this IS my hairstyle! :-)
9:19 am

I do imagine in a few years I may dying it blue; you never can tell! I still have enough brown that the blue wouldn't show yet

he's a schiz-poo (schi-zue, toy poodle mix)

9:46 am

Our first one was smart as a whip; this one is dumber than dirt. He's gotten by on his looks (because he is cute and has markings that seem to be a bow tie on his neck...he's got a dark grey black body and a white bowtie and chest with white feet
9:46 am

9:49 am

Tootsie was our first dog; and she was so smart. This one we "inherited" from DH's cousin because he wouldn't be trained. We got him while Toots was still alive and Toots trained him. We had to pout Tootsie down when she was 16; but JC hasn't learned anything since then.

Being hypoallergenic means lots of grooming. Hair must be brushed and cut
9:52 am

10:43 am
rururocks

10:43 am
rururocks

then babbling
10:43 am
Sally-catlover

Well the hen house is fairly cosy, but their inner run is covered and has a deep layer of wood chippings. In the snow they don't venture out of that small run. I don't do anything extra for them except keep the water unfrozen. They have their own in-built duvets at night and can cuddle up close.
10:43 am
dfmchfhf

nuh uh, Babble comes before school... >.>

10:46 am

10:46 am
Sally-catlover

Well I don't give them warm porridge etc which I know some people do :-) Water and pellets, and a little extra to get them through the night. I take the view that they are chickens, not people :-)
10:47 am
Haz1558

Not even drawer porridge?
10:47 am
Sally-catlover

lol, no Haz not even that.
10:47 am
FMitch

Whats drawer porridge Haz - phrase I haven't come across.
10:48 am
Haz1558

Legend has it that some Scots used to make porridge, put it into a drawer and then hack a piece off every now and again.
10:48 am
Haz1558

They could reheat as required.
10:49 am
Haz1558

They say that's why Scotsmen are able to toss telegraph poles around with ease. Drawer porridge.
10:49 am
Sally-catlover

I expect they can toss the porridge around as well.
10:49 am
FMitch

well you learn a new thing everyday :)
10:50 am
Haz1558

Absolutely. And the sporran was always useful as a kind of lunchbox.
10:50 am
Haz1558

You never know what you're going to find out here, FM.
10:50 am
Sally-catlover

I thought the sporran was to hide the lunchbox :-)
10:51 am

Mom

hello Jmc, what's your poison?
11:43 am
FMitch

It is nothing like that, gin is distilled from juniper berries so if you have ever eaten them in cooking (v popular with venison) then you will get a sense of the ta5.
11:43 am
Mom

never had juniper berries or venison
11:44 am

12:22 pm

typical, hope she will be ok.
12:55 pm
Atalante

they CT scanned her, but didnt xray!
12:55 pm
FMitch

ohhow frustrating Ata. I have a friend in hospital admitted last Wed and won't be transferred for tests until Friday of this week.
12:55 pm
Judi

*face palm* That's ridiculous, Ata. And it's very odd to have a CT scan before an X-ray (at least on this side of the pond).
12:56 pm
Judi

To the contrary - my MIL was hospitalized with pneumonia for the Thanksgiving weekend. They X-rayed her lungs every day. Seems like a bit much.
12:57 pm
Atalante

its just so silly!
12:57 pm

I must admit, i would rather too much than hardly anything.

and the schools don;t have Christmas break, it is Winter break

a teacher realy got fired for saying happy christas - thge world has gone mad
5:20 pm
72 Temple Owl

yes mom, in answer to your earlier question.
5:21 pm
MollyL

It's really sad that people are so down on Christmas.
5:21 pm
72 Temple Owl

the schools SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY BREAKS they are off too darn much. a few days and back to work
5:21 pm
Kaplan the Magne

No one is having a "war on Christmas"- I gladly say merry Christmas to people, but on the other hand, schools and workplaces need to be sensitive to the fact that not everyone is Christian
5:21 pm
dfmchfhf

well here we have "Good Friday" and "Easter Monday" off...
5:21 pm
Mom

((TO)) was this a result of the accident?
5:22 pm
Glantarell

I don't get it - is it because it'sChristian? Are you allowed to recognise the religious festivals for other religions? like ramadan?
5:22 pm
72 Temple Owl

and calling a christmas tree a holiday tree is part of that sensitivity?
5:22 pm
redturtlehead

I Love Christmas!
5:22 pm
MollyL

The kids in our county schools can't sing any songs that mention Christmas, but they can learn about dreidels. That's wrong. I have nothing against Hannukah, but that is wrong.
5:22 pm
dfmchfhf

yeah, Kap, problem is that public workers are not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" at all...
5:22 pm
72 Temple Owl

indirectly, mom.
5:22 pm
Mom

((Red)) hello
5:22 pm
cosdem

TO - I used to think the same.. then i started to work in a school and ill tell ya.. these breaks are necessary or the teachers would end up in a psych. ward

molly if that is true i agree
5:22 pm

and yet saying "happy Easter" or "happy Hannukah" is perfectly fine.
5:23 pm

hi kap, red, tessa :o)
5:23 pm
72 Temple Owl

maybe. maybe not. F* em
5:23 pm

It is true TO, I wouldn't have posted it if it weren't. And, the kids in our county schools are off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
5:23 pm

molly - the school i worked in had the same rules
5:23 pm
dfmchfhf

(psst... tessa, there *are* no M words.)
5:24 pm
cosdem

they cant even sing "O Christmas Tree" but.. they can sing "Silent Night'
5:24 pm
72 Temple Owl

well yes, so are ours. i am not sure how we are insensitive to those who are not christian
5:24 pm
cosdem

ridiculous
5:24 pm
Mom

a kindergarten teacher in our county was teaching the children to count and it was near Easter. She was using jelly beans and a parent complained that the school was pushing Easter down her child's throat, so as a result, no more jelly beans.
5:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Say Merry Christmas! That's fine. Hanukkah is not a major Jewish holiday, or any kind of X-mas eqivalent. What county do you live in Molly?
5:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

kap: tv stations here push it and light candles efery night with a happy holiday spot. Do you write to them to say you are offended?
5:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

they do in NYC, also
5:25 pm
MollyL

Montgomery Kap. The reason the kids are off those two holidays is that when they were open, there were hardly any kids in school. We have a very high Jewish population in this county.
5:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne

No, Temple. But that is not a fair comparison. It's different when you are a Jewish kid in a district where there are not many Jews- and feeling deprived of something because you don't celebrate Christmas. It was no big deal for me- I grew up in New York, but where I live now, my kids got called various names.
5:28 pm

5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

now i will move on.
5:30 pm
Glantarell

clue for the tr 10 please?
5:30 pm
MollyL

I'm all for being tolerant of all religious persuasions. That doesn't mean eliminating prayer in schools. That means allowing kids not to participate if they so desire. And by the way, I'm an honorary Jew. My Jewish friend calls me his "Irish Shiksa".
5:30 pm
Mom

you're fine TO

how sweet Molly

5:31 pm

" politically correct" is, in my opinion, a "straw man" set set up to make people feel defensive and under attack when no one is attacking them.
5:31 pm

5:32 pm

I learned more about the Jewish religion reading a kids book series called "All Of A Kind Family" than most Jews know. I shock Jewish people when I tell them I know about Purim and Sukkot.
5:32 pm
redturtlehead

Jumping in temporarily to say I read those books as a kid too Molly, they are so fun!
5:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne

When I was a little kid in public school there was still Christian-style (hands clasped) prayer in the schools.
5:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Great books. Most Jews don't know those holidays.
5:33 pm
MollyL

And that reminds me, Happy Hannukah to all who celebrate. Pass the gin and tonika, and have a happy, happy Hanukkah.
5:33 pm

Now moving away from conversation, as I was educated in a Religious school by my parents choice.
5:34 pm

Sukkot?
5:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne

By the way, I am an equal opportunity heretic. I can't stand fundamentalism of any stripe.
5:34 pm

Red! I bought the original in the series on eBay. I feel like I'm eight again when I read it.

well molly, interestingly enough, ny papers had a story on those and how orhtodox clergy protested that and wanted them removed from housing where jewish residents had left them when thye died or moved. they thought it was desicration
5:38 pm

Desecration? Mezuzah's are blessings. Wow!
5:39 pm
Glantarell

cosdem - give me a clue - i know about the cereal but it has 4 letters?
5:39 pm
72 Temple Owl

so opnions differ widely on how we are to live together in harmony. the way that is leading is for all to be secular.
5:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Imagine no religion...I wonder if you can...nothing to kill or die for...
5:40 pm
72 Temple Owl

i am sure all the critics can agreee that the greenery for the holidays that is acceptable is cash!

See Mom's clue Glant. You have the first part. Then Mom said the **tire grid is wearing her down.

I don't "imagine no religion". I imagine a collective soul where it doesn't matter who we pray to or how we celebrate that. Works for me.
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

lol the news has a story on how you can't bring homemade swets/cupckes/ bake sales in schools.
5:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne

People just need to enjoy whatever traditions and beliefs make them feel connected, and leave everyone else alone. And without Christmas t lights, December would be really depressing.
5:42 pm
Mom

so true TO, has been that way for some time here. I am glad that it wasn't that way when the boys were in school
5:42 pm
MollyL

Around here, the no home baked goods rule is because of peanut allergies. Way back when Molly was a kid, there were no kids at school with peanut allergies. What's up with that?
5:43 pm
Mom

and preferably individually wrapped

Here in the UK there are som many financial cuts in local services that several counties have deicded not t finance christmas lights in some towns thi s year, it's all over the tv news

7:50 pm
stidmama

wasn't where he was supposed to be, didn't have his phone on, didn't tell us where he was. Says he had talked about it with Tom on the weekend. But if the information doesn't get to ME it is as good as not spoken.
7:51 pm

it's winter, dark, no transportation to our home from the city, and I am VERY unhappy with him.

And the "I didn't have change for the pay phone" thing is obsolete. Now it's "my battery wore out". RIGHT.
7:52 pm
stidmama

well, where he was, phone calls are FREE.
7:53 pm
stidmama

his current excuse? "I didn't know dad's (new) cell phone number" -- but he knows our HOME number!
7:53 pm
stidmama

and to be honest, he DID call the house (eventually)
7:53 pm
Bugsaw

so how did he get home then, stid?
7:53 pm

a long hike in the dark and cold might have been the best consequence

7:56 pm
stidmama

probably not, Molly -- he does this about four times a year.
7:57 pm
Good Enough

was he smart enogh to show some remorse?
7:57 pm
Bugsaw

(switched to where I won't goof up again) I could save some cookies for stidkid and share them once they are stale but that would be mean
7:57 pm
stidmama

someday, he will be living on his own in town and it won't be an issue for us any more. But because he doesn't drive and we live in a rural area for now it does matter
7:57 pm
MollyL

Hormones are a terrible thing Stid. They are so much easier to deal with before the advent of hormones. And their eyes don't roll as much.
7:58 pm
stidmama

stale sounds a lot nicer than what I would give him! (nada)
7:58 pm

would greetings to JC and Frank be accepted from me? I do hope so

What on earth would've made you conclude that, Bugsaw, when we've hardly had any communication, much less any conflict of any sort? Bewildering.

problem with trivial studying is that I know too little about too much... and I only know the most important basics... for example I know what a Zwitter ion *is*, but have no idea why or how they occur... or where the word Zwitter comes from, for that matter :o/

but they play Trivia games at pubs or where you can play to win for charity dfm
8:15 pm

(and not knowing the source from where a word comes is a big issue for me, I tend to learn words through etymologies more than by context or definition.)
8:15 pm

If neither of us was offended by anything, we have nothing to worry about JC. Let it go. I am just glad that I did not ever offend in any way because I never try to. Sometimes I offend people but it is purely accidental. Still, an accidental offence should be fixed too.

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

Just like how icecubes stay frozen for a while even if you leave then on the counter, snowflakes don't tend to melt in the air.

Just a bit of useless information I was sad enough to work out after my daughter's graduation ceremony. 704 females graduated but only 250 males. However, the subject matters covered may have influenced this. Most were teaching or childcare, English or theology degrees, my daughter got a BA in History and Politics. There were more males there.

Incidentally, there was a Robert Browning getting a degree (not in English, btw) at the graduation ceremony. There was also a girl whose (dad, I assume) had just fallen short of naming her Sharon Stone by giving her Sharon as a 2nd Christian name.

I was surprised to see how many times the name Louise or Louisa or Lois is used, mostly as a 2nd name. My daughter got Louise because it was my Dad's Mum's name. 66 girls had that name.
9:59 pm

and the last te 6/18. then i'm done!
10:00 pm

The te 6/18 word is plural of the te 4/4 word HelenaB
10:02 pm
Minveryork

te5/10 word sounds like beginning of a video game in the 80s&then plural that for the te 6/18 word Helena
10:03 pm
Jacula

Helena - it's a type of fish, or an anagram of 'treat'.

Sometimes it can mean childlike cute and it can mean to be clever. But most often it means childlike cute.
