I had a very real situation that illustrates that perfectly. When I worked for a small book publisher in her home, her husband was dying from ccancer, at home. It was very sad, but as the boss she had no idea of the effect the whole thing had on her staff, and she treated us very badly during that time. I know that she was going through hell, but so were her staff. She lost 3 staff during that time. And those left were at work when her husband died .
4:30 am
sprite

and speaking of doing great things with your life regardless of your problems... I refer to my icon for today :)
4:31 am
Kallia

oh yes Sprite, rising above the difficulties
4:33 am
sprite

oh yes, that is a very good example. Having a really severe situation doesn't mean you should forget about others. And while wrestling with relatively minor problems, one must remember to give them attention and not to belittle them, just because somebody else is in bigger trouble.
4:33 am
Flask1

yep!.....prime example!
4:34 am
Kallia

twas not a pleasant time.....but it taught me something
4:35 am

if your boss had been able to remember you were all suffering with and for her, she would have benefitted from the support and the sharing, I think.

4:36 am
Flask1

Ooops!!
4:36 am
sprite

*giggles* I did, this morning, honestly, Flask.
4:37 am
Kallia

oh yes , but what she did gave the staff the 'freedom' to bitch and moan about the situation, which I don't think any of them really meant, it was her attitude that did that.
4:37 am
Kallia

oh I haven't yet Flask lol
4:38 am

LOL Trif! Good morning :)
6:11 am
Trifioso

Good morning FM, and I am actually not kidding. I seem to be a pariah these days, and have no idea why. if you know, I would greatly appreciate a clue
6:12 am
FMitch

I have no idea dear.
6:12 am
FMitch

although NB no longer talks to me :(
6:13 am
Trifioso

me either! though the provenance of that, at least in my case, isn't too hard to suss out.
6:13 am
FMitch

ditto
6:14 am
FMitch

Ah well there are lots of other lovely babblers out there.
6:15 am
Trifioso

well, I do have some good news to share -- my littlest daughter, the one I call tertiare, asked me to pleeease set her up as a babbler the other day! This is HUGE, as she has some pretty significant learning issues, so the idea that she is interested in ANY thing having to do with words, or letters, or (dread) spelling is very encouraging
6:15 am
Trifioso

plus, it means I now have a second generation babbler! :)

Hi Trif. And hi everyone. Just wanted to chip in and say I managed to offend someone a while ago, too, and have been kinda avoiding the chog, but I think it has blown over now. Glad to hear about your daughter wanting to Babble!
6:16 am

good morning hydra!

in other news, I made 8 bagels for the kiddos last night before I went to bed. When I came down to the kitchen this morning, there were just three left!
6:19 am
hydra

Oh I did, FMitch. Believe me! I can't say more in case they are lurking. I was 'guilty of associating with the wrong people'. Yet I take everyone as I find them, so it was all very upsetting. 'Nuff said! I have 42 words left to find and beetroot soup to make :-)
6:19 am
hydra

It was the house elves, Trif.
6:19 am
Trifioso

hydra, is it true that beetroot soup can be used to induce labor, or is that an old wives tale?
6:20 am
FMitch

*le sigh* glad you are back chatting again
6:20 am
hydra

I heard that of raspberries, Trif.
6:20 am

and a good hot curry

Thanks, FMitch. I almost deleted my blog and gave up Babble. But as you can see, I didn't.

Hi Flask.
6:24 am
Trifioso

is your "same reason" the same as my same reason, do you think?
6:24 am
wildcat17

people are always going to have issues with other people. the trick is to remember it's not about you - it's their problem
6:25 am
Flask1

So now I just jump in n out when it suits me........well mine was quite well publicised!!
6:25 am
wildcat17

publicity is just a way to shift the "blame" from them to you. don't fall for it
6:25 am

thats true wildcat......however when all in chog are putting their tuppence worth in, its hard to remember that!

Hi Flask. Sorry I didn't reply. I had to go downstairs and check my oven. Sounds like you have had real bad luck on here. I'm so sorry. I really don't understand people who are united by a game being so petty as to snip at each other on the chog.

Bye wild.

you too wildcat!!!

Hi and bye, Wildcat

i actually wouldn't mind if it was JUST snipping on the chog. It's the email campaigns that get to me. If you have an issue with someone here, discuss it here!

Hi gramma

Maybe we should discuss sex politics or religion, instead of silly words? We could get the chog down to nothing after a flurry of opinions.

Yes....and I have met Lillian, in fact she was here on Saturday!

right now I would be delighted if someone could discuss the lowest row e, which I cannot shift and need for nbt

7:53 am
Riverdance

no school due to the snow storm - he wanted to go to a friends house on the other side of the lake. We couldnt bring him - roads bad and we needed to get to work. My DH told him if he could find a way he could go. So Keith got out his cross country gear and skied 10 miles to get there. Had to jump out of the way of one snowplow - cant stop that boy
7:53 am
Anniebrook

what?
7:53 am
Anniebrook

River, good for him!
7:54 am
Riverdance

scared the living daylights of of me when I found out what he did......cross country skiing on the roads during white out conditions - yikes
7:55 am
Anniebrook

river, it would have scared me too. he sounds like the ki4 of kid that will meet challenges in life and overcome them
7:56 am
Riverdance

he definately is that....
7:57 am
Anniebrook

I dont know him but he is dear to me...the family must be so proud of what he has overcome so far. He also has a loving family which is so important.

Scrabs, how scary is it that a good friend's infant grandson has been in a daycare with children with RSV -- they just found out yesterday and his mom's staying home with him today -- no fever . . .
8:56 am
Scrabbler

I stopped eating seafood in the early summer. I still eat cheese + eggs but am close to going vegan. I can buy veggie based "cheese".
8:56 am
72 Temple Owl

well they also roasted winter vegetables with spice like cinnamon nutmeg and some guinness!
8:57 am

Une, RSV is epidemic every winter. 100% of kids get an RSV illness by age 3 yrs, but the little one--under 3 mo or so can get quite sick.
8:57 am

How old is the boy, Une?

3 months . . .

Owl, I love roasted veggies--potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, etc.
8:58 am

respiratory syncytial virus--a virus that causes cold symptoms, cough, and, especially in kids under 2-3 yrs--> wheezing in the chest.
8:59 am
Uneaixoise

he has some congestion but no fever so far . . .
8:59 am
phaeton

is that the same as croup?
8:59 am
Scrabbler

Like any respiratory virus there is no medical treatment other than supportive care---keep the kid comfortable and hydrated.
8:59 am
Scrabbler

Croup is caused by Parainfluenza virus.
9:00 am
Uneaixoise

thanks, scrabs, that's what I had found online -- comfortable, cuddled and push fluids
9:01 am
Scrabbler

Fever is not the concern, Une. Fever is the body's defense vs germs, so is beneficial. What to watch for is breathing hard and fast. If kids need to be hospitalized we give oxygen, and if they cannot drink safely, an IV for fluids. Then we just wait 2-4 days til they improve.

Sounds good. My hubby ended up taking another job - worried about his pension and healthcare because of the bankruptcy. Hopefully, he'll be done in a few years and then we can travel. In the meantime, we take the 5th wheel on short trips. Living out here, it feels like you're on vacation all the time. Yellowstone is very close and so are other beautiful things to see.

2:06 pm
redturtlehead

Was that part one of the areas that has been without rain for years?
2:10 pm
lynxxx

Not sure on that Red - a lot of Queenslnad is very tropical, cyclones etc but some parts like the south-west corner would be dry most of the time. Generally they have been having so much rain this last few months the ground is sodden and couldn't absorb anymore and the main dam was 180% full(!) The rain had to go somewhere - and it did!
2:11 pm
redturtlehead

I dont think its the same part. I read about which used to be really great farm land... It is just amazing.

Hi TO I'm pondering Macbeth and trying to remember the name of the king. Oh, my.
6:55 pm
Bugsaw

It is quite a common Scottish name. Could rhyme wih with you do with cookies and milk
6:55 pm
Bugsaw

what you do.....
6:56 pm
stidgmere

Scarf? as in I'm going to scarf down some cookies and milk. I did make scones today for our tea. But other than that my Scottish ration is not very high.
6:56 pm
stidgmere

Got it bugsaw. I just didn't get far enough into the name.
6:56 pm
Bugsaw

sure, How did I forget King Scarf? ! trying again......
6:58 pm
stidgmere

We're having great weather for Scotland down here in the NW. The clouds are hangin' on the heath and all that.
6:59 pm
Bugsaw

I love how clouds do that. It looks like fog on the land and always makes me think of Scotland, even tho I have never been there
7:00 pm
Bugsaw

We had a snow day yesterday but the temp went up so we have slush everywhere today
7:00 pm
stidgmere

Exactly, I think sometimes actually seeing places one has dreamed of spoils the image. We're going to see Portland, Oregon next week--can't spoil that broad-shouldered city on the river. (Or is that Chicago?)
7:02 pm
Bugsaw

I got totally lost in Portland once when I couldn't get off the freeway and back on it again. Now I never stop!!
7:03 pm
harpjane

hello, what's our theme for the day?
7:03 pm
stidgmere

Oh, just getting through Portland ranks high on my life time achievements. Everytime it seems they have added or subtracted a portion of the freeway as I have remembered it.
7:04 pm
Bugsaw

I think it is our favourite scientist harpjane but I am a day or two late with my dragonfly.
7:04 pm

7:09 pm
cosdem

7:11 pm
Bugsaw

I had to scan a pic of my Dad when I used him as an icon for something else. It worked and I was suprised by how many people actually read it
7:11 pm
Bugsaw

Does anyone remember who the scientist was in Tudor the Turtle cartoons?
7:11 pm
harpjane

maybe i could use the mad scientists from MST 3K?
7:12 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. If you really want to know how I am, I'm fine physically, except that the ankle I inujured back in 2009 is hurting again months later. I'm not fine emotionally, a bit cheesed off right now, but that's another story and has to do with kids and stepkids and food. I finished the grid not long after the flip, so I was free to be a grumpy old woman yesterday. LOL. This evening, I have watched a young vixens two brothers fight over the right to mate with her, leaving her bleeding and whimpering in pain in my garden. She's okay now, I've fed her and no doubt she'll be stronger to choose which, if either, later.
9:31 pm
Jacula

Back in 2010, I meant! I can't keep up with the year changing every 12 months. LOL.
9:33 pm
Jacula

It actually looked like she got in the middle to try and stop them fighting, but she's so tiny. Her mother was a little bigger. Haven't seen last year's Mum and Dad so far this year.
