I'm sorry to hear that too pugs
2:06 am

How much will a new knee cost?
2:07 am
rururocks
i'm getting a second opinion.. but I am in tremendous pain
2:07 am
rururocks
I don't know yet Haz.. my medical insurance may pick up most of it.
2:08 am
pugmama763
hope they have you on good drugs at least
2:08 am
rururocks
I wish they were stronger.. I didn't sleep at all last night..the aching was horrible
2:09 am
rururocks
.. And I have to point out that I have a high tolerance to pain.. this is too much..
2:09 am
Haz1558
Is this the result of wear and tear or one untimely movement?
2:09 am
pugmama763
I honestly do know how that feels to be kept awake by pain & it's HORRID
2:10 am
rururocks
I think I have arthritis Haz and the wear and tear has built up to this problem
2:11 am
pugmama763
osteo ?
2:11 am
Haz1558
It sounds horrible however it was caused. Any idea when they might operate?
2:12 am
rururocks
yes.. I will have to postpone surgery until Jan..at the earliest.. this is our busy season in my business and I can't be laid up for a few months.

you can't work if you mind if focused on pain.

tell me to mind my own business.

the longer you wait the worse the pain will become
2:15 am
rururocks
I'll be 58 this october
2:15 am
Haz1558
You might be surprised how brief your hospital stay might be. Recovery wouldn't be instant by any means (especially in one of your advanced years) but it would be better than agony for months. It would affect your babbling abilities.
2:15 am
pugmama763
& you will get too run down & ill from lack of proper sleep
2:16 am
rururocks
LOL Haz.. what Babblling abilities
2:16 am
Haz1558
I sense a ganging up of the babble sensible ladies.
2:16 am
snags
you will be fine in the hospital. an experience that you will be glad you had.
2:17 am
Haz1558
So, that's settled. You're going for surgery a lot sooner than January. Next problem, please.

It's not the easiest grid I've ever seen.
2:31 am
rururocks
sometimes these smaller ones are more challenging
2:33 am
Haz1558
I don't think anybody has come up with a category system for grids - probably because we could never get people to agree on what constitutes easy or difficult.
2:34 am
rururocks
this one is a 6.5 on the richter grid scale
2:34 am
Haz1558
What's that in feet and inches?
2:34 am
rururocks
seismic activity..lol
2:35 am
rururocks
dang I can't find one more word
2:36 am
Haz1558
I think this one scores highly on deceptiveness. The bigger words aren't hard but getting some of the smaller ones is a lot trickier.
2:36 am
Haz1558
Is deceptiveness a word or just me mangling the English language?
2:37 am
rururocks
no.. I think it's a valid word
2:37 am
Haz1558
The dictionary doesn't like it.
2:38 am
Haz1558
Okay, this grid is deceptive. The dictionary won't argue with that.
2:40 am
Haz1558
I don't like to argue with dictionaries. I know people abuse enable all the time but confrontation gets you nowhere.
2:41 am
rururocks
exactly.. then enable disallows other words you count on in revenge.

So, a carded player cannot visit the concession stand at halftime?
2:51 am
mrpresident
gives him even more reason to tell everyone what a biaytch I am! He can go share his card with his friends at work tomorrow, for aggresive and abusive behaviour toward an Assistant Ref.... just because the poor baby didn't get the corner he so desired

I am agreeing more with Haz about how silly it is for us to spend all the money on elections with all these candidates. The Republican party has become a very scary political party with a bad agenda.
3:20 am
melonheadjujube
no kidding. I have suggested to my Dem friends that we all register as Republicans and try to pull the party back to Eisenhowerian Republicanism.
3:22 am

I mean.. look at what they are offering up as alternatives to Obama.. Bachmann (???), Perry (???),, Romney (>>>) where is this country going?

I thought Romney might be at ;least a worthy opponent - see Mass health reform; then I saw the "straw poll" (fundraiser for GOP in reality) where when asked about unemployment compensation said something about the unemployed "taking responsibility" for their unemployment.

It's horrible. Truthfully, I wish Obama had a challenger in the primary. I'd go for Eliot Spitzer. Nevermind his bad habits - he's a battle-tested ass-kicker.

you come away feeling that you just wiped an armpit
3:33 am

oh I had the best argument with a ref the other day!!! wanna hear it???
3:33 am

so therefore we can conclude, as we (though not the church) have concluded many times before: it is not healthy to order people to be celibate.

oh, mrp, sorry I even said your commentary was colorful; I've just egged you on! ;)

He thinks that is a handball!!! cause according to him, it is an ARMpit!!
3:34 am

oh yes... seems to be your favorite battle field atm
3:34 am
mrpresident
So I say.... well if you are working on that logic, where do fish fingers come from???
3:35 am

omg what a reasoning. So if it hits a head stone, it is your head?

we have this saying here, mrP: the devil always shits on the biggest heap. It is about time he starts shitting somewhere else, isn't it. Jeezzz.
4:06 am
grannyrose
but mrp, IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!
4:07 am
mrpresident
never friggin is fair... never... but for finding the tear, I wouldn't have found the bone cancer in time to have it at least half a chance sorted
4:07 am
grannyrose
ok, ok, one step at a time, right? what's next mrp?
4:08 am
carleekat
its never ever fair...
4:08 am
mrpresident
sprite, we have a saying here.... 'you can't kill weed'!
4:09 am
sprite
hehehe isn't that the truth, mrP! We have the same saying, almost: Weed will never perish.
4:09 am
sprite
well, for what it is worth (sometimes a lot): we are here for you.
4:09 am
mrpresident
well, we do the biopsy, find out what type of cancer we are dealing with, and move forward with op to the bone, I can't afford radiotherapy as you all know our financial situation because of Mark's employer.
4:10 am
mrpresident
I do NOT want to have chemo, but I don't think I have that luxury/choice now
4:10 am
mrpresident
i like to think I am weed through and through!! I am no wallflower
4:10 am
carleekat
mrp..so many advances have been made with chemo... my dad's...he was never ill..tired...but no nausea...

4:12 am

4:12 am
grannyrose
good, i wanna see you alive and well in 10 years time
4:12 am
mrpresident
indeed sprite, I just have to take what I can... BUT, all will work out. promise you all that
4:13 am
mrpresident
I wanna see me alive and SANE in 10 years time! LOL!
4:13 am
sprite
yes it will, mrP. Because you never give in. And fear is something to take seriously, but conquer, every time. As I know you will. Even for chemo.
4:13 am
sprite
now, now, honey, you cannot expect that kind of miracles from a simple chemo. Sane?
4:14 am

mrpresident
my dad is so upset... he can't work out why I keep getting it! he is so peeved about that!
4:18 am
carleekat
and he never will...just...be PO'ed and use it
4:18 am
mrpresident
yes, it can indeed, and many cancers are cureable... so we will move in that circle of belief and stay there
4:18 am
carleekat
how did the kids take it MRP?
4:18 am
sprite
he should be. It is about enough. You want to make sure you are as healthy as you can be for the rest, mrP. It will help you endure the road to perfect health, and it will make it harder on the cancer.
4:19 am
mrpresident
they took it as 'normal' for mummy to have bone problems/cancer... they have been doing this since they were babies... and it has always worked out... so I don't share anymore than I have to with them. They know I will survive
4:19 am

6:55 am
rubyfoo
ooh, just got the 9 on my own. big accomplishment, lol
6:56 am
rubyfoo
you have the best last name, molly. I had a friend, years ago in IL, whose last name was Riviere, pronounced Revere!
6:57 am
rubyfoo
half, yay
6:59 am
MollyL
It would be somewhat better if people could pronounce it properly. But I have grown used to that. : )
7:00 am
rubyfoo
anyway, it's a lovely name!
7:00 am
MollyL
I know you could, with every proper accent just so. : )
7:00 am
rubyfoo
I know I have a strong American accent in French, but the locals don't seem to mind it, not like Parisians....
7:01 am
MollyL
My husband used to say that the French are snooty when it comes to accents.
7:02 am
rubyfoo
we live in the sticks, so the locals are very nice and tolerant. And I have picked up some of the local accent, e.g. a voir, instead of au revoir
7:03 am
rubyfoo
and nobody says "ne" in making a negative -- just a sort of breath
7:05 am
rubyfoo
even on TV
7:07 am
MollyL
I have a hopelessly Anglo tongue. I can manage just the smallest bit of French, and not very well accented.
7:08 am
rubyfoo
I had some years at school and then started coming to France when I was 20 and had a little baby. No choice but to learn to speak
7:08 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, my ear is pretty good and I can understand just about everything now, unlike when we arrived 14 yrs ago

8:27 am
JBV
hi kids - jmc I was thinking of you yesterday, read an article (in the New Yorker) about asylum seekers,
8:27 am
JBV
aren't you involved in that type of work?
8:27 am
uusue2
and windows are nice - my ex hated the neighbors so put in a bunch of windows on that side that are "obscure" - they're white so you can't see through them - and I miss being able to see out
8:27 am
jmcnrick
it was wonderful to see and had been on my list so i can scratch that one off
8:28 am
jmcnrick
hi jbv -- not exactly. it would depend on why they were seeking asylum
8:28 am
tabbycat
Unsue...have you seen the campus of Florida Southern College. The original campus was designed by Wright
8:29 am
JBV
very interesting article (Aug. 1 New Yorker) - mostly about Africans who are coached in their "narrative" about why they can't go back to their countries
8:29 am
JBV
it mentioned an attorney from DC
8:29 am
jmcnrick
who was the attorney? i may know them
8:30 am
jmcnrick
your know helping someone who doesn't normally have to advocate for themselves may or may not be coaching
8:30 am
JBV
he has a blog called "The Asylumist"
8:30 am
jmcnrick
no don't know him
8:30 am
JBV
well, it got pretty specific - about women who claim to have been raped, when just beating and torture would not get them approved
8:31 am
jmcnrick
kinda of sad you have to claim more than being beatened and torture don't you think?
8:32 am
jmcnrick
but it does sound like he crossed the line
8:32 am
uusue2
no, I haven't, tabby, but it would certainly be interested!
8:32 am

that is fw for me

8:34 am
Anniebrook
yay for kje
8:34 am
uusue2
when I was working with central american refugees back in the 1980s, there was a man who was denied asylum even though he bore many scars of torture, as the judge said the fact that he wasn't dead already proved that his life wasn't in danger (this was in OK or TX, I forget which)
8:34 am
uusue2
and yay, kje!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:34 am
Anniebrook
anyone have a clue for the second qu 5?
8:34 am
kje
qu5 - mispelled royalty?
8:34 am
joshuavorbis
qu + w*** the baby off the bottle
8:35 am
Anniebrook
that judge should be run out of town
8:35 am
uusue2
indeed, annie!
8:35 am
jmcnrick
he probably was applauded by the press nationwide
8:35 am
JBV
yes, sad, I guess that was the point, and after all they've been through, the interviews with the asylum officers are pretty grueling
8:35 am
uusue2
his attorney was a Quaker named Rex Friend, which I thought was quite an appropriate name :-)

hmmm... new york big welfare state, esp. my county..
10:39 am
Glantarell
so does welfae vary between states? it's a level playing field in the UK - everybody gets the same benefits
10:39 am

here in tourist land when september comes and we roll up the sidewalks and hunker down for another winter,the unemployment cheque is king

I've never understood why religion would want people to go through physical torment. It sort of defeats the purpose of believing in a just and loving God.
10:40 am
carleekat
but is tourist town in winter too with all the skibunnies isnt it?
10:40 am

i think a couple more states jumped on the drug testing, but so far not new york.. some of them were getting more than i was and i worked full time
10:41 am

now my son, is on till he can find a job(told him he has so long to find one) gets $8 a month cash. thats it.
10:43 am

but that year the recessionw as so bad and there were NO jobs... we applied everywhere all the time....resumes flying out the door
10:43 am

i truly feel for those who really need it.. but so many are just plain lazy
10:43 am

it is horrible,laying your entire life out on paper for people to pour over with a microscope and dole out money accordingly.hat in hand all the time,your entire life falling apart if there is even the slightest paperwork snafu one month

yes crossy, they made him feel worthless
10:44 am

10:45 am

i made 50.00 feed 3/ week and that included diapers... i went to the farmers market for 2 pounds of ground beef and veeggies... and i made a huge pot of stew that lasted 3 or 4 days ( and pureed that for babby food) and then meat loaf and mashed tates....i baked my own bread... drank powdered milk and to change up dinner..one night was pancakes or mac and chees from the box
10:45 am
Glantarell
religion is a form of social control. i guess sacrificing something reinforces that 'togetherness' feeling and makes the social control more effecive
10:45 am

10:49 am
carleekat
we were like that for over a year...with bi monthly visits from govt going through financials
10:49 am
carleekat
it was awful....but i know i can survive it....
10:49 am
ivesy3
in case u didnt notice, welfare is a sore spot for me. not against those who really need it.but in my county, thats what they live here for
10:49 am
ivesy3
ahhh, the youth of today arent made of what we are lol
10:50 am
carleekat
i am not pro welfare either ivesy but if we didnt get it....i have no idea where i would have been

Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn , Germany ) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded.
The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him

that's probably the fanciest word i have from that t
2:45 pm
LeslieAnn
haha. there's also "the donald" and past tense.
2:45 pm
jesdraggon
oh, and i guess tr5 = hobo, tr7 is past tense of hobo
2:45 pm

2:52 pm
LeslieAnn
i do actually
2:52 pm
jesdraggon
you don't, sapphire
2:52 pm
LeslieAnn
there's not really "submitting" a puzzle. did you enter all the words you had?
2:52 pm
jesdraggon
the site automatically keeps track of how many words you've finished, and your score.
2:52 pm
sapphire4444
oh ok, makes sense!
2:53 pm
jesdraggon
if you go to the rankings list above the chatbox, you can see who finished first, who has the highest average scores, etc.
2:53 pm
sapphire4444
cool, thanks!
2:53 pm
jesdraggon
if you finish the grid, you get a little fireworks display over the tile stats under the grid
3:00 pm
ChampFit
WHEN you finish the grid. Must think positive!
3:00 pm
jesdraggon
ah, sorry, of course. when you finish, sapphire :) didn't mean to cast doubt!

4:11 pm
lbdawger

4:12 pm
stidmama
in the wall -- I am resting though so trying to not get up. I have a cold in the head (and milking it for all it's worth)
4:12 pm
sadie52

4:12 pm

4:13 pm
lbdawger
*sending stiddy, chicken soup*
4:13 pm
stidmama
other than the cold, however, life is pretty good. a little on the warm side, though all the way up to about 24 already
4:13 pm
jesdraggon
not too badly, dawg. just swinging through to see if anybody needs clues :)
4:13 pm
jesdraggon
aw stid. hope you feel better soon!
4:14 pm
stidmama
thanks all *sips soup*
4:14 pm
lbdawger
any new rescues, Jes?
4:16 pm
jesdraggon
no current fosters, dawg
4:16 pm
jesdraggon
lots of puppies have come through the clinic that we've passed on to regular rescues though
4:16 pm
jesdraggon
the packrat got released about 10 days ago
4:16 pm
stidmama
that's nice jes
4:17 pm
stidmama
packrat? for real? PACKRAT????
4:17 pm
jesdraggon
now i'm working on getting stuff prepped for my own critters for winter.
4:17 pm
jesdraggon
yes, packrat, stid. very cute.
4:17 pm
jesdraggon
google "bushy tailed woodrat"
4:17 pm
jesdraggon
they look like giant chinchillas :)
4:18 pm
rururocks
packrats are disgusting..
4:19 pm
stidmama
hm.... I wonder if THOSE are the critters I saw soon after we moved in (they were dead) -- perhaps the construction disturbed their home. *sad look*
4:19 pm
stidmama
hey ruru!
4:19 pm
jesdraggon
if you say so, ruru.
4:20 pm
jesdraggon
i think the whole building a midden thing is fascinating though.
4:20 pm
stidmama
my house looks like a packrat den... 11 years ago you find the floor under the first layer of the midden......... *sigh*
4:21 pm
sadie52
amazing how much stuff you an acquire in a few years
4:21 pm
stidmama
thank you sadie...
4:22 pm
rururocks
you rescue Packrats too Jes?
4:22 pm
sadie52
I hate moving I have so much junk
4:22 pm
jesdraggon
i rescue just about anything that people bring me, ru
4:23 pm
rururocks
wow.. that's unbelievable
4:23 pm
stidmama
well, it's like the archaeology in the wells of colonial America, I think -- you find the most curious items!
4:23 pm
rururocks
I have a packrat story I could tell, but won't
4:24 pm
stidmama
stidkid #1 is unpacking and cataloging my books -- they go in the bedroom section of the midden... many many books of 100+ years. I didn't realize I had so many!
4:24 pm
jesdraggon
why unbelievable, ru?
4:25 pm
sadie52
oh i bet they are very interesting to read
4:25 pm
rururocks
it doesn't end well for the packrat.. so I'll skip it jes...
4:25 pm
stidmama
they're not like mice much, are they? I mean, they don't invade homes, do they?
4:25 pm
jesdraggon
no, i mean why is it unbelievable that i rescued one?
4:26 pm
jesdraggon
they can, stid. but they are solitary, and much bigger than a mouse, so they can't get in the tiny cracks mice can.
4:26 pm
stidmama
some of the old titles are really funny -- there is one that isn't unpacked yet -- a medical text about how to deal with women's complaints... obviously written by a man for men!
4:26 pm
rururocks
oh.. I can't believe someone would turn one in for rescue.
4:26 pm
jesdraggon
they usually live in the woods, eat mostly leaves and berries.
4:26 pm
rururocks
not in oregon
4:26 pm
crosshair
howdy again everyone,back for another stab at da grid:)
4:26 pm
sadie52
lol ive seen some of those they are funny
4:27 pm
jesdraggon
when they do get into a house or storehouse, the issue isn't that they raid your kitchen so much as it is that they build a midden using anything they can shred or fluff.
4:27 pm
stidmama
hm. I wonder if we will find a midden under the house then? I need to crawl under there and inspect things. Tom didn't do it while I was in school, and doesn't seem to want to go down there now, either. So I will do it. *looks for spelunking gear in middle of the layers*
4:27 pm

4:34 pm
stidmama
noswaith dda!
4:34 pm
jesdraggon
But people don't look at you like you're blowing a bunch of money if you ride a horse instead of driving a car; they consistently underestimate how much horses cost!
4:35 pm
jesdraggon
so she gets the more expensive transport, and people don't look askance. Win win :)
4:35 pm
stidmama

Good. I was hoping it was not more ex-girlfriend drama.
8:54 pm

good lord,the u.s health system is mind boggling
8:55 pm
uusue2
no, she is still texting him every once in a while (infrequently enough that it's not worth going to court over) but mostly seems to be staying away. and he's totally lost interest.
8:55 pm
uusue2
it is indeed a mess, crossy; what brought that up?
8:56 pm
crosshair
sues son sweating his health care brought it up
8:57 pm
uusue2
oh, the one sweating was me, crossy, since I would have had to pay double. He didn't care all that much :-)
8:57 pm
MollyL
Well Sue, I hope that girl gets some help. From what you've said, it sounds like she needs it.
8:57 pm
crosshair
here,everyone pays at tax time,everyone is covered,end of story..sure it uses up 45% of our tax bill,but that broken hip will not make you sell your home
8:58 pm
uusue2
she certainly does, molly, and I hope she gets help too, but I am very glad she is out of my life.
8:58 pm
dan2bit
ta6 clue anybody?
8:58 pm
uusue2
crossy, I would trade our health care system for yours in a heartbeat, but apparently not enough people agree with me :-(
8:59 pm
MollyL
I'm glad she's out of your life too, Sue. Those kind of people will drain your life force right out of you if they are around too long.

I would love to see a US revolution against health insurance companies. They are despicable.
9:04 pm

it is sad indeed molly
9:05 pm

talk about death panels! What do people think insurance companies do????
9:05 pm

9:06 pm

I agree Sue.
9:06 pm
uusue2
I have really good health insurance through my job, but Frank doesn't have any at all, and the idea of something happening to him fills me with dread - I don't know what we would do.
9:08 pm

And multiply Frank times the thousands and thousands of Americans who have no health insurance.
9:08 pm

it is a sad state of affairs that should not be

9:15 pm

It would be nice if we could get the insurance company lobbyists out of the wealthy politician's pockets.
9:15 pm
uusue2
wouldn't it, though?
9:17 pm
MollyL
But then, the wealthy politicians want to continue going to their all expense paid 400 dollar an hour doctors.
9:20 pm
uusue2
yeah, I liked the plan that said we should all have the same health care that Congress gets :-)
9:22 pm

i would give up social security if i got the same health care the politicians got

10:16 pm
herinfernallady
They were two men that set out to Explore Australia but were foolish in thinking that it could be done
10:16 pm
Nef
I do have left overs, stid. His Aunt Jean wouldn't taste it and ate some left over home-made toamto soup instead. Both my daughter and I thought the pasta was delicious
10:16 pm
stidmama
hm. I know which side of the family got the taste buds... though I know Aunt Jean is feeling poorly.
10:17 pm
Nef
that sounds interesting herin.
10:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
only time i remember hearing the word burke was on an episode of a US tv show, spoken by an english character, written by an american who lived in england long enough to be able to write decent dialog for english characters
10:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
so, burke and wills were both nitwits?
10:17 pm
Nef
I made the soup also; I just thought she'd try a "No thank You" helping of the pasta
10:17 pm

A couple of Benadryl tablets should take the swelling down overnight, origami. Had to do that with our family dog when we were growing up, when he got stung once. Laura did that with hers too. You don't think he could handle them?
