perfect !!
2:34 am
mrpresident

do you have a jigsaw mat??
2:34 am
sprite

no we don't :( Couldn't find one big enough. Not even for a 1000 pieces puzzle!
2:35 am
mrpresident

you can get them from puzzle shops... you put your puzzle together on it... and as you need to, you just roll it up and move it... the puzzle stays together on the special mat, including all the pieces you have... you can buy two mats and put them together!
2:36 am
mrpresident

we have one the size of a table!!
2:36 am
sprite

hmz this shop didn't have them. But putting 2 together is smart! Will look into that when we get home. I really need something like that, so we can puzzle and then move the mess for dinner.
2:37 am
sprite

they had a 32,000 pcs puzzle in that shop! Can you believe doing one? But it wasn't beautiful. If I ever get crazy enough to try one that size, I want a very beautiful one!
2:38 am
mrpresident

sprite, if the man is in a mood, perhaps avoid for now... let him come to you when the 'time' is right...
2:38 am
mrpresident

on to puzzles....
2:38 am
mrpresident

32, 000!! that would take months to do!!
2:39 am
mrpresident

you can buy them online to the size you want too... puzzles are also available online... you can find a beauty there!
2:39 am
sprite

mrP, my love put up with me for years and years while I was depressed and handicapped. He is entitled to his own off times, right? ;)
LOL @ manopause... we call it penopause!
2:39 am

2:41 am

2:48 am
mrpresident

2:49 am
mrpresident

2:49 am
sprite

we have them too, mrP. And just as bad. Chasing away other birds, coming almost into the house... did you know Terra befriended one?
2:50 am
mrpresident

no!! Terra is a funny mongrel!! LOL
2:51 am
mrpresident

my dog chases birds!!! she is crazy about them! doesn't touch the chickens... she protects them!!
she wishes she could get a bird, but won't ever happen :)
2:51 am
mrpresident

our Maggies are smaller?? I think
2:51 am
herinfernallady

Did you know that Kookies only laugh when you do something stupid
2:52 am
sprite

2:52 am
mrpresident

aussie magies are very tame, except during mating season!
2:53 am
mrpresident

2:54 am
mrpresident

and the rams head on the table... found that in the paddock a few weeks back :)
2:54 am
sprite

we had a baby magpie on our garden when terra was a puppy. They leave their nests before they can fly and learn it from the ground up, magpies. The parents still feed them until they can fly.
Terra was utter curious and so was baby magpie... they became friends. Mum and dad magpie tried to chase terra away, diving for his head, but he didn't budge, lol. The magpie and terra are still 'friends'.
2:54 am
sprite

*in our garden
2:55 am
mrpresident

2:55 am
herinfernallady

Then Mating season duck and cover
2:55 am
mrpresident

i can't imagine terra hurting anything!
2:55 am
mrpresident

my cat would have had a meal of it, but vixie would have backed off for sure
2:56 am
sprite

he doesn't. He loves to chase ducks into the water, but when they don't go away, all he does is sniff them out and try to get them to play.
2:56 am
herinfernallady

I am not right in the head I just said a 9000 piece jigsaw is too easy
2:57 am
sprite

lol lady, funny girl! It all depends on the puzzle. I had a 500 pcs puzzle in my hands yesterday that I don't dare to start... it had only roses. And another one, 1000 pieces, with only dalmatian puppies. And that last one is printed on both sides! So you don't even know if you have the right side up.
2:58 am

3:00 am
herinfernallady

OK they are calling for women's only cab's driven by women for women. Isn't this reverse discrimination AND they are pink because as a girl I love pink
3:01 am
sprite

am looking, lady, I was in a 'real' store that specialises in puzzles and games.
3:01 am
mrpresident

it is only 14.5 hours to Vancouver?? I will book a flight!!
3:02 am
mrpresident

why infern??
3:02 am
mrpresident

why women for women cabs only?? and where?
3:02 am
herinfernallady

Because men are pigs here with cabs
3:02 am

lady, this is one like it, only smaller:

from what I have read, many women are harassed by cab drivers

That is cute Sprite.
3:03 am

3:04 am

Tha
t is where we were yesterday!
3:04 am
rubyfoo

there was an article in the Int'l Herald Tribune about how dangerous hotels can be for women biz travellers
3:04 am
mrpresident

and have you seen the jigsaw puzzles online??
3:04 am
herinfernallady

They take advantage of you and think you are stupid and have no clue on direction is another issue. Especially with Middle Eastern men. And I don't mean that as racis either
3:05 am
mrpresident

81 and punched?? so what the hell happened there?
3:05 am
rubyfoo

when I worked, I used to travel all the time and only had problems with colleagues, never hotel employees. Maybe things have gotten worse....
3:05 am
herinfernallady

No idea Mr Pres. But I really don't have issues.
3:05 am
mrpresident

well, if a middle eastern man said boo to me in a threatening way, I would punch him too!
3:06 am
rubyfoo

I once had a cab driver in NY give me a hard time because I wasn't going far enough, started yelling at me (he was Russian, I think) and I just got out of the cab on the curb side and left the door open, so he had to walk around the cab to close it! hahah
3:06 am
herinfernallady

No Mr Pres I am just saying this is the issue I ahve had.
3:06 am
sprite

mrP: you mean to play online? That I don't like much. I prefer the real thing.
3:06 am
mrpresident

ah, i haven't played them and wondered if they were any good
3:07 am
herinfernallady

Sprite I would not have had been able to leave that store.
3:07 am
sprite

awesome, isn't it, lady!
3:08 am
mrpresident

i was in a cab with my boyfriend (back when I was 20) and the cabbie wouldn't let us sit together. we had to sit totally separated with a metre between us, not look at eachother or touch eachother.
3:08 am
mrpresident

he was middle eastern and a total dipsh*t
3:08 am
herinfernallady

Yes it is Sprite.
3:09 am
sprite

mrP, I tried it and didn't like it. You cannot see all the pieces, or you cannot even pick the order, or you get a couple of containers (those are the best puzzles) so you can sort things out for starters, but not like when you sit down with the real thing and 'let things happen'.
3:09 am
herinfernallady

Himself wasn't allowed in a cab because ''he was drunk'' and going too far (it was a $40 cab fair). He was drinking and not drunk
3:09 am
herinfernallady

Sprite Jigzone online
3:09 am
sprite

I have had very good middle eastern cab drivers. And very rude dutch ones, though not many.
3:10 am
mrpresident

and my boyfriend was middle eastern catholic! was totally unacceptable to impose his religion on us
3:11 am
herinfernallady

I honestly don't care as long as you are poliet and don't scare me.
3:11 am
sprite

far too easy, lady!
3:12 am
herinfernallady

True on that Sprite. BAH ok 364 days to the Olympic Games and I am SO over it
3:13 am
sprite

I think about 99,5 percent of the dutch cab drivers are polite and helpful. If I have had a bad experience twice in my life, it is a lot.
3:15 am
sprite

I sympathise, lady. I have the same thing about Xmas :P
3:15 am
herinfernallady

I am hoping food soon
3:15 am
herinfernallady

Sprite I am very irritated about how this year Christmas was mentioned in June
3:16 am
rubyfoo

what would you like, herin, I am psyching myself up to a cooking mode!
3:16 am
mrpresident

i am psyching myself up to pick up the phone and call for pizza
3:17 am
sprite

I could do with a nice breakie, rubyfoo. How about real croissants, crackers with smoked salmon, coffee and orange juice?
3:17 am
herinfernallady

I am waiting for himself to bring home Chinese
3:17 am
herinfernallady

Ooooooooo Drool Sprite
3:17 am
sprite

wow mrP! That is pretty intense :)
3:18 am
rubyfoo

breakfast is the meal around here. No slamon in the house but I have homemade peach preserves, farmer eggs, whole wheat bread, expresso.
3:18 am
rubyfoo

could get the croissants when we pick you up at the airport and also the salmon!
3:18 am
herinfernallady

O stop it
3:19 am
sprite

hehehe coming over right now!
3:19 am
rubyfoo

no bagels here, though, they don't exist in this part of France
3:19 am
herinfernallady

Oooooooooooo They are talking about replacing failing retail stores here with big brand USA stores. Why bother when you can buy at Amazon at less the price
3:20 am
sprite

don't need bagles. Croissants, especially real french ones, will do!
3:20 am
herinfernallady

What really Ruby I thought they were a universal food (I nearly said fruit)
3:20 am
rubyfoo

we have an "artisanat" bakery right in the village that makes superb ones, the best I've had!
3:20 am
rubyfoo

I think you have to be in Paris
3:21 am
sprite

we have croissants here, but they are not like the real ones, for the most part.
3:22 am
mrpresident

not one bugger will delivery chinese here... such a shame
3:23 am
rubyfoo

Oriental food here is not worth eating - no decent Chines or sushi or Thai :(
3:23 am
mrpresident

infern, i am not in favour of globalization, but nothing is stopping it.... I have been battling it since 1996... very sad
3:23 am
mrpresident

we have awesome japanese and thai!
3:24 am
herinfernallady

MrPres this is Solly that is closing 50 stores - Dotti P.A etx.
3:25 am
herinfernallady

We have no good Chinese here so we are getting it from the proper area
3:25 am
rubyfoo

there are virtually no Orientals here, hardly any blacks, few Americans, just French and Arabsd!
3:26 am
sprite

the netherlands are pretty multiculti. We have all colours, and most cuisines. Though how much they are like the 'real' stuff I don't know. But great great food!
3:27 am
rubyfoo

herring! Indonesian! My few trips to the Netherlands have been superb food experiences. We just happen to be in the wrong part of France for decent food
3:28 am
rubyfoo

fortunately, the scenery makes up for it
3:28 am
herinfernallady

I thought France was all about food
3:28 am
sprite

Indonesian is probably the first 'foreign' food that became popular here.
3:29 am
rubyfoo

not Annecy, unless you like things with gloppy cheese
3:29 am
herinfernallady

What sort of Cheese?
3:29 am
rubyfoo

when I used to cook Indian food (in a former life hahah), I used to make some of the Indonesian side fishes (serundang, e.g.) to go with
3:29 am
mrpresident

ok, pizza on the way!
3:30 am
sprite

I hope I am not insulting rubyfoo, but I feel the french cuisine is overrated. I'll take a good Thai meal over a french one anyday.
3:30 am
sprite

well done mrP
3:30 am
rubyfoo

Reblochon is the local specialty and all kinds of Tomme. But they ruin potatoes with cheese and butter
3:30 am
herinfernallady

You know that it is all about Cheese
3:31 am
rubyfoo

I'm not French and husband and I totally agree with you. Unless you go to the most expensive restaurants, it is very blan and ordinary, and the beef is horrible
3:31 am
rubyfoo

bland*
3:31 am
mrpresident

french cuisine is only good when home cooked
3:31 am
mrpresident

sorry, IMHO
3:32 am
sprite

oh yes, they kill meat. Top french cuisine is probably very good, but the rest...
3:32 am
herinfernallady

Well I for one would live on cheese and wine
3:32 am
rubyfoo

what is very good here, though, is halal lamb, much better than what you can get in the US
3:33 am
rubyfoo

although maybe that has changed in the years since we left
3:33 am
sprite

not wine for me, but I LOVE the cheeses.
3:33 am
herinfernallady

I hate the idea of Halal
3:33 am
rubyfoo

why?
3:34 am
rubyfoo

in the US you can only get frozen lamb from NZ
3:34 am
sprite

what is wrong with halal?
3:34 am
herinfernallady

Well Ok I should change that too I hate the idea of any slaughter house that bleeds the animal alive instead of just killing it quickly
3:35 am
rubyfoo

don't they stun it first?
3:35 am
herinfernallady

BRB food here.
3:36 am
sprite

if you want to be sure of a quick kill, you have to do it yourself. 'Regular' slaughterhouses aren't any better than halal.
3:36 am
rubyfoo

has anybody read Temple Grandin?
3:36 am
sprite

not me
3:37 am
rubyfoo

she has developed humane ways of treating cows on their way to slaughterhouses. But I am edging closer and closer to giving up meat.....
3:38 am
rubyfoo

have you read Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals? He won't eat anything that had parents
3:38 am

3:39 am
mrpresident

oh, want to watch it, but the women are miserable!
3:40 am
mrpresident

everything in these house is so old! and this 72 year old woman is looking to get pregnant!!
3:40 am
sprite

yeah well there is a reason women are most fertile when young... it takes loads of energy to bear, birth and raise kids.
3:41 am
mrpresident

she is calling the Ukraine, Kiev to get a clinic to help her out... she is british
3:41 am
rubyfoo

have you read that older mens sperm isn't such a great idea, either? That a higher percentage of their offspring are autistic?
3:41 am
sprite

she should be locked up in a mental institution. Sorry if it sounds rude.
3:42 am
rubyfoo

amen, sprite!
3:42 am
mrpresident

and this woman who is 68 is pushing twin boys... 2 year olds. She now has cancer and is dying
3:43 am
rubyfoo

all that strikes me as really sick! after 40, there are too many risks for the babies
3:43 am
ursh

Hello all - A mother's job is to raise her child to 18 - a 72yr old probably wont see the child reach 10 - not right
3:43 am
sprite

that kind of child wish is only "ME ME ME" and not about the children.
3:43 am
mrpresident

she saw her mother live to 101 and thought she would do that too, she now has only months to live
3:43 am
rubyfoo

everyone is not necessarily meant to have children
3:43 am
sprite

too right, ursh. And hi :)
3:44 am
rubyfoo

hello ursh!
3:44 am
mrpresident

they don't use their eggs or partners sperm
3:44 am

3:44 am

even if you live to 101, it doesn't mean you are a fun mum.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

I was happy that my son was born when I was 20! I can't imagine shlepping a baby around now and then it was easy
3:45 am
mrpresident

so she leaves behind 2 babies.. and dies. the children are now living with her brother's son.
3:45 am

The incompetence cotinues Molly...Just had my appointment at my primary care doctor's office. Turns out, my CT scan showed a major sinus infection...that the hospital NEVER mentioned to me! This whole episode may have been caused by that and they should have started me on antibiotics!!! GRRRRRRR.
9:42 am
herinfernallady

Car I can join you in the gross head department. There is ice cream on offer as most other foods taste like crap

I have now shelled out $100 for the hospital visit, $100 in co-pays to other doctors and am looking at about the same at the pharmacy!!!!

Oh Herin! I am sorry about that. The nurse practitioner I saw just recommended lots of steamy hot liquids.

Uneaixoise

they're great dogs and so misunderstood -- lots of landlords here won't rent to pittie owners :-(
10:07 am

The issue here is the amount of attacks. More like moron owners that need to be PTS rather than the dog
10:08 am

oh, I agree completely -- it's totally the owners who treat them badly and/or raise them to fight :-(

... Highland Creek ... is that Rouge or Humber Valley ... I know the name ... it's just blank as to which end of the city it is
10:55 am

I'm not sure that chalkboards as we think of them (in the classroom) were ever referred to as sl5s. I think the term refers more to a hand-held tablet sort of thing. Hence the phrase, to wipe the sl5 clean. : D

In 1442, “I will never get used to a book. It doesn’t feel right.

our library got rid of about 24000 volumes a couple of years ago - the faculty had a fit - they are still available digitally but it is not the same thing. The math department talked the provost into funding the return of the math journals that they had gotten rid of (paid for shipping)

the dean of the library said something about how the library wasn't supposed to be a repository for things that didn't circulate, which I found rather odd (this is a university library)

Oh I SO agree about the kinetic learning of math and science. I am a person who REALLY needs that.

1:32 pm
stidmama

*refers back in chog* WHY must we "blame" anyone? why can't we just start supporting folks? The parents who are working extra jobs to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table who simply don't have time, energy or money to support school instruction with sports or tutors... the teachers who are working in overcrowded classrooms with out of date materials... the schools that are in impoverished areas where bake sales are held for maintenance rather than field trips. *sigh*
1:33 pm
Vicuna

Thanks, stidmama!
1:33 pm
Dorens

oh, and we're not allowed to have bake sales, either. and yes, it isn't about blame, it's about finding solutions, but when the solutions involve giving children better opportunities than they get at home. it becomes an "infringement" of democratic principals.
1:33 pm
doseffing

... quite right ... but when the parent tells me that it's my fault that his kid isn't being raised right ... if I want to help the kid I must ask the parent to think about the kid
1:34 pm
Dorens

I've long thought that one answer would be to create group homes for mothers who need a little help, and they would have "master mothers" to model the appropriate parenting techniques... eat dinner together and show them how... manners, conversation, etc.
1:34 pm
Dorens

kind of like a kibbutz or commune. sort of radical
1:34 pm
MollyL

That is an awesome idea Dorens. Kind of like taking the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program one step further.
1:35 pm
Vicuna

Interesting idea, Doren. But, boy, would it be hard to match up groups of like-minded folks. I wouldn't want to be in charge of that! lol
1:35 pm
Dorens

problem is, it's too "outside the box" Whose responsibility would it be? Not the schools, and which bureaucracy would we trust?
1:35 pm
Dorens

and we can't mandate it, and the ones who need it most wouldn't want to do it
1:36 pm
doseffing

... my problem is no one can agree on proper behaviour anymore ... do we eat dinner together? ... but that means the employer must allow the parent to leave work ... ...
1:37 pm
Dorens

there are a lot of problems. but instead of looking at the real problems and trying to find reasonable solutions, they just want to look at test scores and bame the teacher
1:37 pm

Dorens, perhaps divorced mothers with custody of their children could form group homes. I like the super mom idea.
1:37 pm
doseffing

... a couple of years ago 60% of high school students around here had jobs in retail ... ... these are full time employees as far as the store is concerned ... ... damned if I'll let my employees stay home from work so they can eat with family
1:37 pm
stidmama

Making people leave their homes and communities doesn't sound right to me. Perhaps support from within the community -- a babysitting service for parents who have to work late, mentors who check in regularly with parents to visit and give them ideas/a break (parenting young children can be so isolating), making sure that healthy food options are affordable....
1:38 pm
Dorens

there are plenty of retired women out there who did a better job. and I know I personally can think of things i wish I'd done differently... would be great if they could learn from our mistakes as well
1:38 pm
Vicuna

True, doseffing. There are lots of elements of society that don't seem to support healthy families. We definitely feel like we need to make tough choices. But that's always been the case, just with different choices.
1:38 pm
doseffing

... people are no longer allowed to make mistakes ... which is why no one will do anything ...
1:39 pm
Vicuna

lol - we may not be "allowed" to make mistakes, but somehow we all seem to manage to make them just the same!
1:39 pm
Dorens

i'm thinking we need to teach the mothers, and visitors who come in and show them things, but they need constant modeling. also, I have a problem with people who can't take care of their own kids, and then go on to have 5 or 6... and we have a self-perpetuating mess
1:40 pm
Dorens

i work with kids whose parents make a whole lot of mistakes, some that are so damaging to the kids, and they sure are allowed to make them
1:41 pm
doseffing

... yes and yes ... ... but who is going to teach the males ... the fathers ... ... major pet peeve ... ... there is no longer a male image to follow or pattern after ... ... thus the boys often ... do nothing, want nothing, hope for nothing ... and have no idea that there is a future to think about
1:42 pm
Dorens

that's absolutely true dos.... need a few male figures in there as well... but I was concentrating on the many families that are headed by single women who really just aren't doing the job at all.
1:42 pm
stidmama

the number of children is a different issue, and one that I am not willing to address. A bigger issue for me are the parents (who exist) who cannot or will not stay away from the drugs and other dangerous situations. The children in those homes are in danger and come to school so traumatized that just staying in their seats is a victory. The foster family system is broken and often the children have no where to go when there are no foster homes available. What do we do for those children?
1:42 pm
doseffing

... they're not mistakes ... unless someone points them out and persuades them that there is a better way ... a better choice ... right now the choice is "me right now" ...
1:43 pm
Vicuna

I think good role models are hard to come by for all. (Which is why I write books about basically good people trying to do the right thing in tough situations. I don't think we can ever have too many examples of that to look at!)

Lots of good suggestions here. However, along with all those there would have to be a resurgence of common decency, manners and a "sense of community" all of which seem lost in today's world.

1:52 pm
Vicuna

In fact, I think one thing we've got going for us these days is that we actually see injustice. In the "good old days" most people were unaware of or didn't count injustices of race, sex, class, religion, and all the rest. People were courteous, but only within their own group. We need to get that common courtesy back, but then apply it to EVERYONE, no exceptions!
1:54 pm
stidmama

"courtesy" can also hide real feelings, I would be pleased as anything if folks just started helping each other and worked on getting along, regardless of the words they use
1:58 pm
periwinkle

yes indeed, I agree, Vicuna, we need common courtesy back!!
1:58 pm
Vicuna

Real courtesy is about being respectful and making other's feel values. I always tell my kids that it isn't enough to say "thank you" if you actually sound more dismissive than thankful!
1:58 pm
periwinkle

and yes to stiddy too
1:59 pm

*others feel valued, I mean
1:59 pm

yes vi -- that is true ((hey peri!)) -- it's important that the words convey true respect for the persons involved
2:00 pm
amelu0218

and never reply to a thank you with 'no problem' or something dismissive like that... one should use 'you are quite welcome, my pleasure, etc' that will make the person you've helped realize that they're not just someone on the street, even if they are...

she's 8 1/2 and I worry about her a lot
4:48 pm
rubyfoo

chows make it to around 10
4:49 pm
bichon

Hopefully mine live a long Bichon life
4:49 pm
rubyfoo

her diet is wonderful; I cook the two dogs brown rice with cauliflower, chicken, beef hearts and chicken liver and season it with bouillon and parmesan
4:50 pm
rubyfoo

I think smaller dogs are good choices because of that, but, unfortunately, husband I both like the personalities of chows
4:50 pm
rubyfoo

and they are so beautiful
4:52 pm
bichon

I do not cook for my dog. I do enough for them
4:52 pm
uusue2

Sera is a pretty big dog but she is a real sweetheart :-)
4:52 pm
bichon

Do the French really cook for their dogs?
4:53 pm
rubyfoo

I spend too much time cooking for them and feeding them. No, the French don't but I'm a Jewish mother
4:53 pm
uusue2

we get her the real premium dog food (the kind you can't find in the regular stores, even the regular pet food stores)
4:53 pm
rubyfoo

the French give them table scraps and dried kibble
4:53 pm
uusue2

but I don' t cook for her, at least not on purpose (sometimes she gets something that has fallen on the floor :-)
4:53 pm
rubyfoo

I also put cauliflower in the rice
4:54 pm
bichon

Well, me too ruby, but I prefer to use a nationally known name brand like Iams or Purina One.
4:54 pm
rubyfoo

the kibble the dogs eat is Purina One, costing 5 times as much as in Miami
4:55 pm
rubyfoo

it is actually cheaper to cook for them but it's still several $$ a day.
4:56 pm
bichon

I buy their dog food at Costco or BJ's and it's cheaper
4:56 pm
uusue2

we've been getting Taste of the Wild, which is about twice as much as the national brands, but no filler so don't have to feed her as much
4:56 pm
rubyfoo

why do they put ash in dog food? Does anybody know?
4:56 pm
rubyfoo

even Purina
4:57 pm
uusue2

and corn seems to upset her tummy a bit so the more natural food seems better
4:57 pm
bichon

I'll look on the web
4:57 pm
rubyfoo

Ruby also gets a cheese omelet in the morning
4:57 pm
rubyfoo

can't get fresh corn here anyway
4:57 pm
bichon

http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/choosing
-dog-food/dog-food-ash/
4:58 pm
bichon

say what ruby. A cheese omelet.
4:58 pm
rubyfoo

I didn't find the snake clue
4:58 pm
uusue2

no ash in Taste of the Wild
4:58 pm
bichon

human dinner time
4:58 pm
rubyfoo

one egg, emmenthal, parmesan and a little bit of bacon
4:59 pm
rubyfoo

maybe I'm entering my dotage....
4:59 pm
rubyfoo

obsessing about dog food
5:00 pm

5:01 pm
rubyfoo

good nite, friends
5:02 pm
uusue2

night, ruby!
5:02 pm
rubyfoo

when she was anxius before, I swaddled her, like I used to with my son when he was a baby, learnt from my Russian grandmother
5:04 pm
rubyfoo

ooh, I just got a bunch of words, maybe now i CAN SLEEP
5:06 pm
cybernan

hello everyone -- back for the last 100
5:06 pm
uusue2

good luck, ruby! (I am on sleeping pills now, they helped for about 10 days but aren't working so well now)
5:06 pm
uusue2

hi, nan!
5:07 pm
rubyfoo

what kind? my son takes lunesta which I think is the pill that made people sleepwalk, sleepcook, and, most frighteningly, sleep drive
5:07 pm
uusue2

actually I forget its name but that's not it
5:07 pm
rubyfoo

I take xanax at night to prevent middle-of-the night anxiety
5:08 pm
uusue2

temazepam
5:09 pm
rubyfoo

I'll look it up
5:09 pm
uusue2

I am also on lamotrigine, an antidepressant that is supposed to help with anxiety as well
5:09 pm
rubyfoo

side effects?
5:09 pm
uusue2

so far I am unimpressed but it's only been 2 weeks
5:09 pm
uusue2

not that I can tell, which is nice
5:10 pm
uusue2

sleepy stuff is also called restoril
5:11 pm
rubyfoo

I think antid's take 2 weeks to kick in. The last time I tried one, it had just kicked in and I immediately developed tardive diskynesthesia and had to taper right off
5:12 pm
rubyfoo

I've written down the names and will see if I can find French equivalents. My MD will prescribe absolutely anything I ASK FOR; SHE'S A TERRIBLE ENABLER lol
5:13 pm
uusue2

this one is supposedly faster acting than most
5:13 pm
rubyfoo

I am finally getting sleepy; it must be all those new meds! haha
5:13 pm
uusue2

I don't feel too depressed most of the time, but sleeping is still an issue
5:13 pm
rubyfoo

how many hours do you get/need?
5:13 pm
uusue2

great, ruby! at least my meds are helping somebody!
5:13 pm
rubyfoo

I ned 8
5:14 pm
rubyfoo

need*
5:14 pm
uusue2

I can usually get 3-4 hours, then I wake up and can't get back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. if I don't have to go to work I can go back to bed and get another hour or two but I can't always do that
5:14 pm
uusue2

I go to sleep ok, mostly, but just can't stay that way long enough
5:15 pm
rubyfoo

that wouldn't be enough for me; I'd be useless the next day
5:15 pm
uusue2

so you will sometimes see me on here when it is 4 or 5 am (babble time, which is my time too)
5:15 pm
Michnick

It must be the subject matter, I keep seeing opiate in the grid. Hi all
5:15 pm
uusue2

I can manage for a day or two but then I get pretty wrung out
5:15 pm
rubyfoo

that waking-up in the middle of the night (after 9/11) is why I went on Xanax in the first place
5:15 pm
uusue2

lol, mich!
5:15 pm
rubyfoo

hello michnick; you are up really late
5:15 pm
MollyL

Wow Sue, you must be dragging in the middle of the day. That is when a mostly sleepless night catches up with me.
5:16 pm
uusue2

I'm typically not anxious when I wake up, usually I just have to pee, but then I can't get back to sleep
5:16 pm
Michnick

You are right, ruby Time for bed.
5:16 pm
rubyfoo

I NEED A NAP FROM 3 TO 4pm BUT dh ALWAYS WAKES ME
5:16 pm
uusue2

of course, all the stuff going on with the kid (and my dad before that) hasn't exactly helped
5:16 pm
periwinkle

naps are good, I am an excellent napper. hello all
5:16 pm
periwinkle

5:16 pm
uusue2

5:17 pm
rubyfoo

5:18 pm

What Does Bank Holiday Mean?
Any business day during which commercial banks and savings & loans institutions are closed for business to the public, specifically at physical locations. These holidays usually coincide with federal holidays in the United States, but each country defines is own bank holidays.

Infrequently, a bank holiday can also refer to a day where there is an emergency bank closure to avert a bank run. This type of bank holiday occurred as a result of the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 during the Great Depression in the United States.
8:14 pm
MollyL

Apparently bank holidays (days when banks are closed) are the same as legal holiday (what we in the US think of) in the UK
8:15 pm

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face ascending
Out of the common place and into the rare
Now somewhere out in space I hang suspended
Until I'm certain that there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

When interviewing potential residents , I prefer social interviews rather than acaemic ones. If they know everything you have nothing to teach them, but if you cn work with them, then yuou have a good potential resident.
