I wish they were stronger.. I didn't sleep at all last night..the aching was horrible
2:09 am

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

I think I have arthritis Haz and the wear and tear has built up to this problem

osteo ?

It sounds horrible however it was caused. Any idea when they might operate?
2:12 am

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

LOL Haz.. what Babblling abilities
2:16 am

you will be fine in the hospital. an experience that you will be glad you had.
2:17 am

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?

rururocks

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.
2:39 am

I don't like to argue with dictionaries. I know people abuse enable all the time but confrontation gets you nowhere.

So, a carded player cannot visit the concession stand at halftime?
2:51 am

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 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.

4:03 am
grannyrose

yup
4:03 am
carleekat

yes....
4:04 am
mrpresident

the MRI scans (2 now) and tests have confirmed I have cancer in my upper tibia (the big bone below the knee)
4:04 am
carleekat

yes.....
4:04 am
grannyrose

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
4:04 am
mrpresident

which explains a lot of the weakness in that leg and the damage to my foot

oh god. MrP how awful.... *hugs*
4:05 am

4:05 am

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...
4:11 am

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?

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

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

half, yay
6:59 am

It would be somewhat better if people could pronounce it properly. But I have grown used to that. : )
6:59 am

I could!

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.
7:01 am
rubyfoo

amas
7:01 am
rubyfoo

sorry
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

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

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

8:29 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
8:29 am
JBV

Jason Dzubow
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

hi all
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

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

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

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

10:45 am

religion is a form of social control. i guess sacrificing something reinforces that 'togetherness' feeling and makes the social control more effecive

10:49 am

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

10:50 am

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

you don't, sapphire
2:52 pm

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

if you go to the rankings list above the chatbox, you can see who finished first, who has the highest average scores, etc.

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
sadie52

hehehe
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

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*

4:35 pm
crosshair

4:35 pm

Hello Babblers ... jilli, I think one of my dogs was bitten by a wasp today
11:41 pm
jillibus

oh, poor dog, origami! Did you give him an antihistamine? Put ice on the bite?
11:42 pm
jillibus

him/her...
11:43 pm
jillibus

I don't even have nbt :-(
11:44 pm

I'm reluctant to give him an antihistamine since he's one of those dogs that gets weird/spacey/strange on them ... He seems OK now, just uncomfortable

Hi Laura -- why the mazel tov?
11:47 pm

if you change your mind, my vet recommends Benadryl -- had a springer years ago who was bitten by a snake -- Benadryl took the swelling right down . . .
11:48 pm
jillibus

and congrats on FW!
11:48 pm
Fauxmage

Hi Jill. :o)
11:48 pm
negativeneil

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?
11:48 pm
negativeneil

Yeah, Uneaixoise.
11:48 pm

Thanks. That's what the mazel tov was for.

It's Benadryl that makes him strange. He actually growled at me last time I had to give him one ... he's actually allergic to grass. I need to get the vet to give me a different prescription
11:51 pm
