if we lose the ability to borrow, we are screwed. who will loan any money if they know they won't get it back and then we can only spend what is brought in. Which means a 40% cut of the budget. Pensions, welfare, military etc. It will come if we don't get our house in order and time is not on our side forever.

hello ruby
1:43 am
rbud

hi ruby! :)
1:44 am
rubyfoo

what a night! we lost power upstairs, so no lights, heat or TV. Candles everywhere, scared dogs.
1:44 am
rubyfoo

Fortunately, I found an electrician for this AM. Phew!
1:44 am
flosey

how long was it off ruby?
1:44 am
rubyfoo

I don't think husband slept a wink.
1:45 am
flosey

ah, it was only your home?
1:45 am
rubyfoo

so far, 15 hours. But it's weird that only one level would go off like that
1:45 am
flosey

very strange
1:45 am
hurshy

anyone medical around?
1:45 am
flosey

did you find out what caused it?
1:45 am
rubyfoo

I slept on the couch where it was warmer and I could monitor the dogs better.
1:46 am
rubyfoo

hopefully, the electrician can fix it because husband is going crazy without TV and his computer
1:46 am
flosey

not that I know of hurshy, are you ok?
1:47 am
hurshy

well i think so but that is where i want a second opinion.
1:47 am
rbud

not medical, hursh, but hoping you're getting better.
1:47 am
hurshy

the hardest thing about doctors is deciding whether or not you need to call one.
1:48 am
rubyfoo

hello hurshy, what is wrong?
1:48 am
flosey

yes, that's true, when I was in doubt, called ER, they told me to call the Public Health Nurse and do as they said
1:48 am
hurshy

i am getting better, thank you rbud. i am just experiencing minor chest pains on the right side. i don't see this listed as a side effect of the painkillers i'm on, nor any heart things as side effects.
1:49 am
flosey

can you call ER and get an opinion? or would they insist on seeing you
1:49 am
hurshy

i can call a nurse at our health plan but since talking hurts would prefer not to if i can help it.
1:50 am
flosey

ah, understand that, how about emailing the nurse
1:50 am
hurshy

figure i should give it a little time, i'm young and healthy in general.
1:50 am
hurshy

i don't think they have an ehotline but let me look.
1:52 am
hurshy

no email listed just the phone number :(
1:52 am
flosey

darn, how about calling and asking if you can email?
1:52 am
rubyfoo

how high up is the pain, hurshy?
1:53 am
flosey

due to pain
1:53 am
hurshy

well it's definitely behind my ribs high upness wise
1:53 am
hurshy

actually it may already be going away
1:54 am
flosey

hope so, for your sake hurshy, but I'd like to see you be reassured
1:55 am
rubyfoo

could it be a gas bubble? does moving around help?
1:55 am
flosey

if that is the case, it would be reassurring to know
1:56 am
hurshy

it COULD be a gas bubble i have been very gassy as a side effect of meds
1:56 am
rubyfoo

I get that sometimes, I think because of the brewers' yeast I take,; it is a nasty pain, but goes away if I move around
1:57 am
hurshy

well this was like a dull ache more when breathing in than out, does that sound like yours?
1:58 am
rubyfoo

thinking about it, but I don't think breathing affected it....
1:59 am
hurshy

definitely seems like a possibility
2:00 am
rbud

if you've been running your mouse and on your computer more than usual, and are right-handed, it might be just a muscle/joint pain from too much of that, I get pains in my shoulder and bottom of my shoulder blade if I sit here too long.
2:02 am
hurshy

i feel like this happens occasionally, random pains, but i'm just more on the look out for side effects.
2:03 am
rubyfoo

rbud: is there such a thing as straining an eye muscle from using the computer?
2:03 am
rbud

don't know, I wonder!
2:04 am
hurshy

i don't think it's that rbud it feels more inside than that if that makes any sense
2:04 am
hurshy

you can definitely strain your eyes from using the computer but if you mean more like a muscle near the eye or something then i don't know.
2:05 am

Hello everyone

Kazzer99

fireworks for me - thanks for all the help - see you soon
2:05 am
rbud

sometimes it even feels like a rib is out of place, I went to the chiro a few weeks back for a working-over, helped a lot.
2:05 am
rubyfoo

this is on top of the eye, under the eyebrow. feels like there's a finger stuck up in there sometimes
2:05 am
rubyfoo

{{lynxx}}
2:05 am

2:05 am
flosey

hi lynn
2:05 am
hurshy

hello lynxxx, welcome to the layman's diagnosis hour.
2:06 am
rubyfoo

lovely to have a medical consult in the morning!!
2:08 am
lynxxx

Hurshy - not wanting to suggest it but I had a sudden attack of pleurisy once. Apparently that is an inflammation in the lungs which causes the (inflated) lung to touch the ribs when you breathe. It was more than a bit painful and you would know if you had that but maybe it is something along those lines
2:09 am
hurshy

well if it gets worse i would certainly call the nurse but i think it is going away i think ruby's gas guess may have been correct.
2:09 am
rubyfoo

I hope you feel better fast!!
2:10 am
rubyfoo

does bringing your knees up ease it?
2:10 am
hurshy

mmm, maybe?
2:10 am
hurshy

i think the fact that i can't even tell if i'm still feeling it is a good sign.
2:12 am
flosey

13 to go but must get to bed. goodnight all, Hurshy, hope you're feeling better soon
2:12 am

mi 5, haha, kitty sound, m + lotsa vowels - always think it's funny to find the variations of "meow"
2:28 am
hurshy

my kittens have different ways of saying it
2:28 am
hurshy

sometimes i call cinder a communist kitty cause she says "mao"
2:28 am
hurshy

and sometimes it's just "ow"
2:28 am
rbud

haha! we have one cat who is very talky, he'll just chat away with me.
2:29 am
hurshy

and then marty is so expressively pathetic with his.
2:29 am
hurshy

mitten likes to talk when she's got a toy in her mouth, a sort of song of triumph. i killed it, i've killed it!
2:30 am
rbud

the other boy says almost nothing, it's always a big surprise to hear even a tiny "mew" out of him.
2:32 am
hurshy

cinder goes away from us and says things that seem to imply she's lonely. so we're like, just come back then silly.
2:32 am
rbud

they are both fixed males, but the "pink" one, as we call him, greets the black one like a long lost pal after the slightest of separations, runs up to him, meow, meow, lick the ears - he's odd. the black one yawns and takes it all in stride.
2:33 am
rbud

oh, yes, pinky does that, too, goes off to another room and cries like he's lost, haha.
2:34 am
hurshy

:)
2:35 am
rbud

pinky just showed up one day, declawed and fixed already - no one ever claimed him, so we let him adopt us. he's quite the mouser even with no front claws.
2:36 am
rbud

I often think he's one of our own kittens from way back, he's just the color our old calico used to have. so maybe the place was familiar to him.
2:37 am
rbud

sort of a pale peachy color, not yellow.
2:38 am
rbud

(nattering along to myself, haha!) ;p
2:39 am
hurshy

sounds pretty
2:44 am
hurshy

i wonder if they sell non-carbonated ginger ale.
2:44 am
hurshy

i feel like maybe it exists but is called something else that isn't occurring to me.
2:46 am
rbud

not sure, never heard of such a thing myself, but sounds possible.
2:48 am
rbud

there's ginger tea, I know.
2:54 am
rbud

yay, fireworks! (had to list for the last 11)
2:54 am

That word always trips me up--which vowels.
6:14 am
Scrabbler

Elizabeth got sick before dinner-headache, fever. I gave her Tylenol before I left. She is better now but not OK for school. Nauseous. And John finished the Lego project we were working on so he had the nanny send me a photo of the finished project.
6:14 am
Aloyisius

aww, wish they were closer for you..
6:16 am
Scrabbler

Yep. Then I would see them more than once a week. John wanted me to sleep over so we could keep working on his Lego City project. It's once of those huge projects. He loves Legos, as do I.
6:17 am
Aloyisius

do you like the nanny?
6:17 am
Scrabbler

And I kinda wanted to sleep in E's room overnight to watch and comfort her because that's what Mary would have done.
6:18 am
Scrabbler

The nanny is outstanding. 33, former 1st grade teacher. Mature and great teacher of respectful and responsible behavior. And she will have her first baby next July. It will be a younger "sibling" for the kids. They are excited.
6:19 am
Aloyisius

ah, so glad to hear that..
6:21 am

The nanny lives several blocks away. She is the niece of friend of Mary's.

once below minus 40,it does not matter much nef lol
9:51 am

-25C is around -10 F; -10C is around 14F

if you do not have good winter tyres,below minus 40,they will get a flat spot and ypu will have to drive slow till they warm up lol

very true, crossy. That's another good thing about living here in the north: no bugs for half the year

How's the debate going (I SO wish they could keep the Souix name!)
10:02 am
Nef

Okay, I can't spell it right this AM: Soux, Sioux, Soiux?
10:03 am
remluc

The debate is constant and so annoying. People are really getting out of hand, on both sides if you ask me. For me, I'd like to see it change so we can move past it and come together. There's a lot of hurtful things being said and I just hate that.
10:03 am

what is the argument about?
10:06 am
Nef

some national league board won't let them have their team name anymore because it's supposed to be racist. They were/are the Sioux, or the fighting Sioux. Why can Notre Dame be the fighting Irish?

it is a college team; it's been UND's mascot since the university started
10:09 am
remluc

I agree - it's just gotten so heated here that I don't really see any other choice but to change it. Actually, UND's first nickname (change in the 40's maybe?) was the Flickertails. LOL! FLICKERTAILS! Now that's funny.
10:10 am

Flickertails? I'd never heard that before! WOW!
10:11 am
lbdawger

i'm reminded of a story told to me by my mentor about political correctness...She had to get a message to a keynote speaker in Ohio. She sent her secretary who had no idea who the man was. Instead of describing him as a handsome black man, she described his as a tall man with dark complexion. Had she said he's Black, the message would have gotten to him in no time, instead of moments before he spoke!

well, take lost of vit. C asnd zinc lozenges on your flight, and use the saline nasal spray frequently to keep your nasal passages moist (to decrease the possibility of getting "really" sick in the dry air in the plane

I'm not very stuffed up (and not "runny" at all), have a little dry cough sometimes but that's about it - I don't think I'm too contagious to anyone that I'm not in direct oral contact with (that is, don't kiss me!)

I'll take a look when we get to the airport but I don't know if any thing will be open - we get there around 9 pm, plane leaves at 6 am
10:39 am
Nef

LOL! I'm just thinking that the dry air in an airplane can make you a lot sicker by drying out your nasal passages. I was just reading about flu viruses etc. and saw that it helps to keep them moist and

the weather here is pretty dry anyway so probably my nose isn't going to get much drier (it is the desert after all...)

that the Vit. C and Zinc Lozenges are very helpful at the beginning symptoms of any cold
10:41 am
uusue2

unfortunately I didn't get the vitamin C until the cold was well under way - I suspect now it's not doing much except making me feel like I'm doing something
10:41 am
Nef

I never think about it being the desert there
10:42 am
bichon

It is pretty much a desert. There's a rainy season, Nov-Marcch, but the rest of the year, no rain at all
10:42 am
uusue2

at the kibbutz where the wedding was held, they get 15 mm of rain per year - that's a little more than half an inch.
10:42 am
Nef

well, the best I can say then is take care of yourself. I hope you have a good flight; how long is it?
10:43 am

about 4 hours to Paris, then a 2-hour layover, then another 8 or 9 hours to Chicago

Wow! Never having been anywhere; I guess I always think of Israel as having a temperate climate

I live in Ara [not far from the Dead Sea] for a year. Very dry, couldn't get used to it

Religion is the key word. And even though it is dry, the Israeli's have made great use of irrigation

although we can't check in for our flight for another hour and 20 minutes, and it doesn't leave for another 4 hours after that...
4:43 pm
jmcnrick

geez why did you get to the airport so early then?
4:43 pm
jmcnrick

thought you would be qu7 all day?
4:43 pm
uusue2

b/c the flight leaves at 6 am, we'd have to be here no later than 3 am
4:44 pm
uusue2

and someone else had a 12:30 am flight so we came with him, got here around 10:30 pm
4:44 pm
jmcnrick

really? bummer--at least you should be able to sleep on the flight
4:44 pm
uusue2

this way no one has to drive us in the middle of the night
4:44 pm
uusue2

we were at the newlyweds' place - the other traveler was his uncle - they drove all three of us to the airport
4:45 pm
jmcnrick

oic that makes sense--i did that once when i flew in at 11 and my flight was at 6 am--didn't seem worth getting a hotel
4:45 pm
jmcnrick

well that was very nice of the newlyweds!
4:45 pm
uusue2

indeed - alternative would have been to get a taxi to a train but at 2 am in a country where I don't even know the alphabet, never mind the language, that didn't sound like something I wanted to do
4:46 pm
jmcnrick

yikes! yeah traveling where there is no english (or whatever it is) alphabet is dicey
4:47 pm
uusue2

10-20 of the immediate family traveled with them through Israel after the wedding - didn't seem to faze them (indeed we all had a wonderful time)
4:47 pm

Molly, DH just had knee surgery for 2 torn meniscus cartilages in his right knee. If he was home; he'd try to do it. I was just moving a couple of hope chests (empty ones) and a dresser (which was on wheels); so it wasn't that big of a deal. DH would have tried to help and then kept going!
4:56 pm

I spent a night at Dulles in 2006 during a heavy rain. I was on crutches; and EVERYTHING closed down after 11 or 12MN. There wasn't a change machine or coffee machine or anything working after that
5:22 pm

The floor zamboni cleaners came through somewhere around 2 or 3 AM, just as I'd finally fallen asleep
5:23 pm

and it is purely an international airport, which makes a difference too, I think
5:31 pm
Nef

I suppose they have heavier security there because of the political and religious state of the Middle East
5:31 pm
uusue2

yes, El Al security is legendary (and the legends are true, in my experience)
5:32 pm
Nef

at least you're safe!
5:34 pm
uusue2

indeed we are!
5:36 pm
uusue2

and the area around the kibbutz is particularly safe (far southern Israel) - early on there was a skirmish with the Jordanians, and in retaliation the Israelis closed the Red Sea ports - Jordan is otherwise landlocked and depends on that port so they have been careful to keep things on an even keel since then
5:37 pm
uusue2

Israel has ports on the Mediterranean as well but the Red Sea access is also very important to them, so it is in everyone's best interest to keep that area peaceful
5:37 pm
uusue2

(this is the story we got when we were there, anyway, and it seems to be accurate as far as I can tell)
5:38 pm
Nef

sounds very interesting. I'm not sure that I'd be brave enough to go there right now though
5:39 pm
uusue2

well, I trust my relatives who live here, and they seem to know where to go and not to go
5:39 pm
uusue2

although I did get a little worried about my son when he and the other cousins went to a bar that was right on the Lebanese border - that area has been calm recently too, though
5:42 pm
Nef

Good thing! (I'm afraid my son would be the one to stir stuff up, so I'm glad it wasn't him!)
5:42 pm
Nef

his mouth goes before his brain is activated sometimes
5:45 pm
uusue2

my son is actually pretty sensitive
5:47 pm
Nef

that's good in that type of a situation. My son is very caring and sensitive; but (as I said) his mouth spouts off before he thinks sometimes
5:52 pm
Nef

I need to fix supper. You have a good trip, sue; sleep now if you can after you get through security.
5:54 pm
uusue2

ok, take care, nef!

this is a little beast
6:33 pm
MollyL

I've only been able to pick at it a little at a time since it was a day from hell at work.
6:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

ooh sorry
6:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

i am trying my .89 loaf of 12grain bread arnold copycat i bought at aldi this week.
6:35 pm
MollyL

Thanks. I should have expected it. My boss is going on vacation tomorrow and I was pretty sure he would pull some last minute, BS stuff, which he did. It's over. And he's gone for a week. YAY!!!!!!!
6:35 pm
MollyL

How is the bread?
6:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

yay for bosses' vacations!
6:36 pm
72 Temple Owl

it is betterin a sandwich thann plain, perhaps because i had organic twelve grain before it.l when i have full fat cheese vice half fat,if no comparison i would not even notice
6:37 pm
72 Temple Owl

have not tried toasted, most whole grain is best that way imo
6:37 pm
MollyL

How do you like Aldi? I've heard good and bad things about it.
6:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

we had usedit 15 years ago+ for the rolls for our work picnic, they were fine and very cost efficient. they would order them for us fresh vice going to the wonder store for offlloads.
6:40 pm
MollyL

So it's better for bulk buying?
6:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

i have liked everything i have bought there: cornbread crackers (best), spring mix, onions@3lb for .99, baby carrots were .59 for months, i also got brave and tried the turkey italian sausage it was really good. no it is nice you do not have to buy in bulk, except for potatoesbut they comein 5and 20lb sizes
6:42 pm
MollyL

An Aldi is opening up here soon. I will probably try it for some things.
6:42 pm
72 Temple Owl

as for frozen convenience foods, i don'tuse them but they havesome interesting ones,esp desserts.
6:43 pm
MollyL

I don't do frozen convenience foods either. The only things I buy frozen are juice, spinach and ice cream.
6:43 pm
72 Temple Owl

thst id ehst i did, bought what was intereting noneseentials and what was a good buy like the onions and carrots. I do not have tomgo out of my way, i pass it.
6:43 pm
72 Temple Owl

soryy sticky keyboard
6:45 pm
72 Temple Owl

they have not been able to get the sausage for months. i was so leery of it i had it in the freezer for a month and when i triedit there was no more. that happens, some stuff is short term stock
6:46 pm
MollyL

Some stores are like that. They buy in bulk and when they run out, it's a while before they get it again.
6:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

trader joes.it can be maddening.
6:48 pm
MollyL

Never been there either.
6:49 pm
72 Temple Owl

since quaker polluted/improvedtheir maple oatmeal, i switched to tj sand i love it
6:50 pm
72 Temple Owl

however, i pass all of these places ont he way to work. so i can afford to cherry pick
6:53 pm
MollyL

Isn't Trader Joe's expensive?
6:54 pm
72 Temple Owl

depends. the oatmeal was2.49 for a tenpouch box.
6:54 pm
72 Temple Owl

however, for nuts they are great also forcheese
6:54 pm
MollyL

That's not bad.
6:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

for baking nuts they are the best
6:57 pm
72 Temple Owl

however they do prompt impulse buying. they have neatstuff. i boight a gruyere caramelized onion and ham flatbread.great appetizer
6:58 pm
MollyL

I'll have to remember that.
6:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

well just imo.def cheaprethan whole foods but the invenotry intersects not overlaps
7:09 pm
MollyL

Whole Foods is too pricey for me.
7:11 pm
72 Temple Owl

forme aswell.y firneds dosay they will never cook thanksgiving again, they get it there. they say the holiay mac & cheese is the best. for two, makes sense
7:12 pm
72 Temple Owl

and the husband cooks some stuff,so they are not people who cannot cook at all. they buy all o f their meet there.
7:12 pm
MollyL

I work with a woman who shops exclusively at Whole Foods (don't ask me why because she eats out and orders in all the time) and supports a non-working boyfriend, then whines and says she has no money. Gee, I wonder why.
7:13 pm
72 Temple Owl

when we were living in the hotel on work assignment, folks often used their hot food bar
7:14 pm
MollyL

I would try a Thanksgiving like that if it were only two of us. But for my clan, it would probably be too expensive.
7:16 pm
IndiaJan

whole foods have some great stuff for sure

Hi Herin. Yes, but so did I. She was telling everyone how she behaves herself if I'm in the chog (since I am her boss) but if I'm not... and, since I wasn't, I'll bet she drank all of the rum!;-)

10:39 pm

poot. I missed everyone. Yep behave

hi jess and thanks for those 2 words
10:48 pm
Jacula

Growing up, I used to live next door to a girl who would sit at the open part of the fence on the patio eating with her mouth open, with all the accompanying noises, and staring at me. I used to hang a blanket over the fence so I at least couldn't see her!
10:48 pm
herinfernallady

She wasnt special in any way?
10:50 pm
Jacula

She wasn't exactly an umpleasant girl - she'd offer you a lick of her icecream or take a well-sucked sweet out of her mouth and offer it to you. No, she wasn't 'special' - just hadn't been taught any different. The family of 4 shared one toothbrush between them.
10:51 pm
herinfernallady

O ok. it just sounds like something my friends kid would have done as a boy
10:51 pm
Jacula

Speaking of the word 'special' and how it's come to mean something else, just like 'gay' has... the buzzword on this year's Christmas cards for relatives etc., seemed to be 'special' and so I avoided buying any.
10:51 pm
Jacula

uNpleasant, I meant!
10:53 pm
Jacula

She also had a sinus problem and had 'yellow candles' streaming from each nostril. Sometimes runny, sometimes dried out on her upper lip. BLEURGH!
10:53 pm
herinfernallady

See the thing is I personally dont find using the word special to describe someone as a bad thinng.. I would say individual but most wouldnt get that
10:53 pm
herinfernallady

So the kid was more raised by wolves then
10:54 pm
Jacula

Herin - not exactly but something like that. LOL
10:56 pm
Jacula

'special' in UK is used by the younger age group to describe someone who is mentally challenged in some way.
10:57 pm
Jacula

This is only a recent thing, brought about by all the PC nonsense over the past decade.
10:57 pm
herinfernallady

Jac it is here too but i never seemed to associate it with a negative. I have no idea why

Jamie doesn't advocate that you should NEVER eat fatty food or fast food - just that it should not form the main part of your diet.

I've got the article now and read it. Once thing the US attackers seem to have forgotten, aside from what I said about high calorie/high fat etc., not forming the main part of your diet, is portion sizes. They are much smaller here in UK and also include fresh steamed vegetables.

yah... but you get more than one bird in a hunting season. we used to have quite the trade in pheasant amongst my classmates.
11:15 pm

Jac apparently a serve for 4 is a serve is one
11:15 pm

Game meat is also very expensive.
11:15 pm

11:16 pm

not if you hunt it yourself, or your family does.
11:17 pm
jesdraggon

perhaps I'll get classed as redneck here, but I eat venison year round, and elk also.
11:17 pm
jesdraggon

beef is expensive! elk is free.
11:18 pm
jesdraggon

a hunter can take a dozen pheasant; that's a dozen chickens i don't have to buy, and depending on how you cook it, at least 2 dozen meals of pheasant from those.
11:19 pm
Jacula

We watched a programme on TV the other night about a 74 stone woman who'd tried to cover up for her sister over the death of her nephew. She was such a broken and weak woman, I think I can see why she did that. However, she did tell the truth in the end and stop her sister abusing any more of her children. The woman ate about 18,000 calories a day in about 5 meals. Each plateful of tacos, wraps, burgers she ate would have been enough to share between the 4 of us here at home and we'd only eat 8,000 between all of us, 10,000 at most a day.
11:20 pm
Jacula

Jes - we have strict rules here in UK about when game can be taken.
11:21 pm
jesdraggon

We do here also. But we also have freezers.
11:21 pm
gemini_J13

there are hunting seasons here too... and licenses....
11:21 pm

We have wild deer but they are full of ick
11:21 pm
jesdraggon

just because you take it in September doesn't mean you have to eat it in September.
11:21 pm
Jacula

Jes, so do we but perhaps filling them with game isn't a priority? Mine's full of home-grown fruit and veg.
11:21 pm
herinfernallady

And don't start me on the duck hunting. It is bloody wrong that yobs are allowed to shoot to kill not for food.
11:22 pm
Jacula

Herin - I LOVE roast duck. That's what we had on Christmas Day. But it was farmed duck, not wild duck. Wild duck tastes much better.
11:22 pm
jesdraggon

I'm just saying that the statement that pheasant is something nobody would eat more than once a year is perhaps not entirely true, that's all.
11:23 pm
Jacula

jes - it's true for most people in the UK, other than the monied classes (who can afford bigger freezers).
11:23 pm
