3:52 am
rubyfoo

oh, sad! How old was he when he passed away?
3:56 am
dizgrannie

tis okay, he passed not long after birth, had severe medical probs, his mum (our dtr) says she is blessed that she had him and blessed that he passed early because he would not have had a decent life. His 2 sisters and his brother always talk of him and celebrate his birthday every year. He would have been 7 on the 17th of this month
3:57 am
rubyfoo

what a wonderful family you have! To have maintained awareness of the lost baby and to celebrate his short life, is very special!

hi rubyfoo, think positive, you might find a great one
4:17 am
rubyfoo

and is prompt, clean, reliable......
4:17 am
rubyfoo

this one was the absolute greatest! but she's 58 or so and doesn't need the money.....
4:19 am
sprite

I know, same thing has happened to me. She only gave me 2 weeks' notice, the person I found was just plain hopeless and I haven't found another one since. Cannot do much myself, so the house isn't what you'd call clean :(
4:19 am
rubyfoo

and once there are animals going in and out, it is impossible to keep clean for long anyway
4:20 am
sprite

but finding a good one in the netherlands is just very hard, especially if one wants to be able to communicate with them.
4:20 am
rubyfoo

Catherine has also been my friend, French teacher, confidante, etc
4:20 am
sprite

can't she recommend somebody?
4:20 am
rubyfoo

loves the dogs etc. and has a son and husband who occasionally work as handymen/gardeners
4:21 am
rubyfoo

no, she lives in a village as fancy as this one!
4:21 am
rubyfoo

she suggested I put up little notices in the local stores and start interviewing
4:21 am
rubyfoo

I will also ask all my neighbors; somebody might know somebody
4:22 am
rubyfoo

our first housekeeper was Moroccan, but although the house was immaculate, she was a "time cheat". If we went to Geneva for the day, she'd be gone after 5 minutes! and was ALWAYS late
4:22 am
sprite

my good news for today: I was almost 4 months behind with paying bills (yeah I know, but I have been poorly and couldn't manage). Opened all the bills this weekend, called all the firms this morning and now everything is paid, no problems, no bad results. I did well!
4:22 am
rubyfoo

and inevitably came with a tale of woe.....
4:23 am
rubyfoo

that is excellent, Sprite!!! I know how heavily paperwork can weigh on you and it only gets worse!
4:23 am
sprite

if you pay someone for 4 hours and they work for 5 minutes, they aren't just time cheats, they steal.
4:23 am
rubyfoo

that's how we felt
4:24 am
rubyfoo

or if they work for 3 1/2 hrs but are paid for 4...it adds up
4:24 am
sprite

oh yeah! I always tell myself it is so much worse if you don't do it, but I can be totally scared of the drawer with bills. Part of my ptsd. But at least this time I tackled it myself and got it all sorted out.
4:25 am
rubyfoo

my husband just ignore all the pending tax and other issues and leaves everything to me, very hard to manage
4:25 am
rubyfoo

I have to go, love to sprite and grannie
4:25 am

my husband is the same. If I don't do it, it will not be done at all.
4:25 am

1:25 pm
MollyL

Oh that's terrible. Couldn't someone be hired to do that?
1:27 pm
Kazzer99

we've got no money - the rest of the family is on benefits so they had to buckle up and get on with it - still havent got the cat out of the flat yet. i thought it was the duty of the council to do these things. anyway dear babble friends i am off to get changed to go swimming - I might finish this off later so if you are about i will be back about 930 uk timr

1:38 pm
Scrabbler

I am at a satellite clinic where it is much calmer. I finished the newspaper, signed charts, did refills, etc.

Scrabs (hate being the teller of news like this) Kazz's niece commit suicide.
1:41 pm
LeslieAnn

oh no how awful. i missed the first part of the story, i assumed they were talking about their mum
1:42 pm
JBV

hi scrabs - sorry stepped away for a sec
1:42 pm
LeslieAnn

which is still awful, but i assumed natural causes.
1:42 pm
JBV

very very tragic but the worst is that her mom had to go in and clean up the apartment - couldn't someone have done that for her?
1:42 pm
wildcat17

she was only 20
1:43 pm
LeslieAnn

oh how heartbreaking.
1:43 pm
wildcat17

kazz said they had no money to hire someone
1:43 pm

1:44 pm

Hello Everyone :)

1:44 pm

Hi Sadie
1:44 pm

I think Kazzer said she hadn't been seen for a week or two, so that cleanup must have been horrible.

1:47 pm
Scrabbler

For the survivors: a lifetime of "If only____" and "What if___?"
1:47 pm
JBV

yes, suicide is unlike any other grief -
1:48 pm
Scrabbler

One of my patients, a 17 yr old boy, middle of 3 boys, hung himself 14 mo ago.
1:49 pm
LeslieAnn

and usually very unfair questions for the survivors to be asking themselves.
1:49 pm
MollyL

It is ten shades of wrong that a grieving Mother should be expected to do such a gruesome thing.
1:50 pm
uusue2

indeed, molly.
1:50 pm
Scrabbler

Yes. Someone should have volunteered to do that cleaning.
2:03 pm

Hi HH. Why not use a nasal spray (steroid or anithistamine)--far more effective and no systemic effects.
2:08 pm
Scrabbler

You are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
2:08 pm
HarryHood

I ran out of my nasal spray - anyway it always has other effects - usually keeps me up at night or makes me depressed.

5:35 pm
westford

thanks lyn
5:35 pm
uusue2

only through me and my stepbrother (she talks to him, he talks to me, I talk to my dad). Not very efficient.
5:35 pm
Michnick

OK, how difficult. After so many years!
5:36 pm
uusue2

indeed. and stupid, if you ask me.
5:36 pm
Michnick

YOu said it. Amazing how well your dad is holding up. MOre power to him!

5:37 pm
westford

that is wonderful sue
5:38 pm
Michnick

Incredible. My mom has a few friends like that. So beautiful
5:39 pm
Michnick

I wonder if our kids will have friends like that, everything is so disposable today, including relationships.
5:41 pm
uusue2

on the other hand they're not limited by proximity the way we were...I remember if I wanted to play with someone I had to walk to their house (the phone was just for grownups)
5:42 pm
Michnick

That's true. I had the phone, but if I couldn't walk it, or ride my bike, then the friendship was just for in-school. When I was 14 I was allowed to take the train to meet friends, how grown up!
5:43 pm
uusue2

and now look at us! :-)
5:44 pm
Michnick

Ok, but how many childhood friends are you still in touch with?
5:44 pm
uusue2

none but then I was kind of a loner when I was a kid
5:46 pm
lynxxx

I am in touch with none, didn't maintain any past my teenage years. I have always thought women tend to take on their partners friends (except for family of course)
5:47 pm

5:48 pm

hello all. thanks to Facebook, I am back in touch with a lot of childhood freinds.

nope, herin. That's something I've never heard before. But then again; there's a lot of expressions that we say in this part of the world that you probably haven't heard before either. (And MN really didn't have much of a Jewish population outside the Twin Cities in the past

I agree. Of course, I also know a number of people who didn't make it. When my son was in 4th grade in a small parochial school (he had 16 classmates) we lost 4 of those 16 Moms to breast cancers that year; none of them the same type!

9:53 pm

Joey, when I had my surgery, I wanted them to wake me up if it was cancer so I could decide if I wanted surgery or not because of seeing those scars. I was very upset at the time that they just took the lobe; but now I'm glad that they didn't listen to me
9:54 pm
joey

I remember hearing the stories of the women who had surgery and woke up with no breasts without anyone ever telling them that that was a possiblity.
9:54 pm
Nef

I'm sure that it would make a big difference in survival rates, jes. But I think that ethically it wouldn't go over so well....
9:55 pm

What do you mean that they just took a lobe?

*hugs all, happy smile at joey* home now, supper is eaten and I am here for half an hour before I collapse... LOL too much work, too little energy.
10:30 pm
Nef

hi stid. You need to slow down a bit!
10:31 pm
jesdraggon

thanks nef!

hi stid :)
10:31 pm
stidmama

Four weeks and I can take every morning off, and then just show up for the "fun stuff" as I revert back to volunteer status... I LOVE teaching.
10:32 pm
Nef

er6 is what *I* would consider to be a cockney accent for listen up!
10:33 pm
stidmama

thanks for that one Nef
10:34 pm
jesdraggon

i feel slow... that doesn't make sense in my brain, sorry, nef
10:34 pm
Nef

but if you burn yourself out now, stid; it might change your attitude

jes... in this place her* + at the moment (three letter word)
10:35 pm
jesdraggon

ah, thankee
10:35 pm
stidmama

I won't burn out Nef. I recognize that this level of work is more than I will ever do when teaching except for short spurts. AND the school I am in (my neighborhood school) is wonderful to work in. I love the mentor teacher, the kids and the tasks (most of them). Just don't care for the extra paperwork and reports I must do for the Master's program
10:35 pm
Nef

great clue, stid!
10:36 pm
stidmama

*sparkles* thanks nef!
10:37 pm

10:39 pm
jesdraggon

ah, i see
10:39 pm
stidmama

however, I am down to 73 and falling asleep. Almost ready to do that, just want to "play out" a lesson plan for next week so I can check the pacing with the regular teacher tomorrow. Math. Haven't taught a whole lesson yet, just "extra eyes" for her lessons. Always more fun (and more challenging) to do the whole thing start to finish.

11:00 pm
jesdraggon

totally random question, apropos of nothing. anybody have an old crib mattress or other water-proof pad (chaise lounge, etc) they want to part with?
11:01 pm
Nef

sorry, jes. I don't. I give my old stuff to my sister (the vet)
11:03 pm
jesdraggon

ok
11:05 pm
Nef

is this for your vets office? If so, have you talked to either the local hospital (for their used equipment supplies) or a large child care center?
11:06 pm
jesdraggon

it is; we have several OOOOOLD dogs boarding right now, that have incontinence and arthritis issues. waterproof mattresses would be very helpful.
11:06 pm
jesdraggon

we have 1 crib mattress, but 3 dogs that could use it...
11:06 pm
Nef

My sister's sterilizer went out and I was able to get her a used one from my old hospital's used warehouse
11:07 pm
jesdraggon

there is no local large child care center. i didn't think to ask the hospital. i guess i assumed they wouldn't have disposable mattresses, just mattress covers?
11:08 pm
Nef

possibly. Or what about getting a heavy blue plastic tarp that you could use over some old rugs?
11:08 pm
jesdraggon

right now we're using heavy-duty garbage bag full of blanket
11:10 pm
jesdraggon

but it's kind of a pain. a couple more mattresses would be nice... but none of the local second hand stores have them
11:10 pm
jesdraggon

might end up having to break down and buy new ones from walmart or something.
11:11 pm
Nef

I don't think that second hand stores can sell old mattresses (we can't here, anyway)
11:11 pm
jesdraggon

they apparently can here--one of the stores had one when i checked, but it was reserved for someone else, who came and got it :(
11:12 pm
Nef

did you ask them to reserve any for you?
11:12 pm
jesdraggon

they can't do that pre-emptively, apparently.
11:12 pm
jesdraggon

i have to just keep checking back.
11:13 pm
jesdraggon

sorry, that should have been apparently canNOT (or will not)
11:14 pm
Nef

I would ask any day care Moms you might know and see if they know of any good garage shows
11:15 pm
Nef

that was garage sales, not shows (distracted by dtr)
11:16 pm

11:18 pm

if you are out in the boonies, hit up someone in the nearest city (a student; niece, friend?) to check around for you too
11:19 pm
