I do take probiotics. I just have this awful metabolism that puts pounds on if I look at food or drink.

1:06 am

AzRobin

Ahhhh.....Jim Chappell. Best pianist - can make you cry, make you smile, make you laugh and just stun you. Sooths my soul.

1:07 am

...McCoy Tyner.. is my favorite pianist

1:08 am

AzRobin

Ahhh....Jill. Make sure you're taking 10B....much cheaper actually. And, my doc gave me Belladona w/ph for the bloating. Sooooo close to a size 6 again.

Ruru....I'll look him up. Thank you. Piano and Violin are my favorite.

1:08 am

jillibus

Wow, good for you, Robin!

Some longterm friendships made here. A few months ago I lost a babble friend to Cancer, but we;d been in contact since soon after I started babbling in April 04. She was from my part of London.

2:27 am

which friend was that chris

2:28 am

I'VE HAD THAT SAME THING WITH SCRABULOUS AND NOW LEX; IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO ADD "REAL" FRIENDS, EVEN AS WE GROW OLDER AND DON'T GET OUT INTO THE WORLD MUCH

2:28 am

rubyfoo

whoops, big pinkie made caps, sorry

2:28 am

Christine

Please, I hate that abreviation (nerdy, I know). Her name was June, I don't remember her profile name, and she stopped babbling about two years ago, when she started to get too weak.

That's loke So.Cal - the weather is just great, almost every day. I don't miss the seasonal changes. We have about 11 days of rain, and that's enough for me. Since I retired, I needn't go out, if the weather doesn't appeal to me.

2:40 am

**like** of course. Bloomin' laptop can't spell.

2:48 am

Christine

I had a replacement, and they didn't give me crutches. Agrannywalker to go home, which I ddidn't use until I went for the 6week checkup, and then only because it was raining, and the pavement was slippery. Kaiser has you walking up and down the halls, the next day.

2:48 am

grannyrose

omg, talk about big pinkies. i didn't mean to shout

2:49 am

rubyfoo

your shouting is a p[leasure, have really missed you

2:49 am

Christine

I did that on a loooooong email today. Fortunately, I caught it before I hit send.

2:50 am

grannyrose

same here, christine, except my knee is using new technology, and my surgeon is being a little more cautious. also i had a femoral nerve block...hard to walk when brain and leg muscles aren't talking to each other

2:51 am

rubyfoo

very sophisticated treatment in Aus., and I think it helps being a knowledgeable nurse!

2:51 am

Christine

ooh, sounds bad. I'm waiting now, to have the other knee and my froggy hip done. Probably seperate opereations.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

are you watching the Tour, you two? The best riders are English and Australian, and there's even an aussie team this year

2:52 am

grannyrose

oh no, christine, was wonderful, no pain for 2 days

2:52 am

7:57 am

don't name that proper name, because it is also a word: Mr. Rochester's Jane.

7:57 am

Anniebrook

Red, Im okay...my friend had her second surgery on his hip, was successful but she is lax doing her exercises so she is not doing as well as the surgeon says she should. She can walk about 3 streets but then her leg get wobbly.

7:57 am

redturtlehead

Oooh Is she able to be back at home?

7:57 am

Angelsong

morning, all. I have a favor to ask. If you believe in the power of prayer, please pray for my father. My mom called me yesterday and said he is not doing well. He is 78 years old, and he has quite a number of health problems. We think he may be over-medicated; he is disoriented and is falling often; he has a uti, and has to have a catheter for ten days; he cannot dress himself without assistane, he is using a walker, and he will barely eat. She is going o take him to the ER this morning to see if he can be admitted to the hospital for a few days.

7:57 am

redturtlehead

I am finding even a year out if I do not keep up well with the exercise I do poorly.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

Yes, she is at home for a while...walks with a cane.

7:58 am

MollyL

Prayers out for your Dad, Angel.

7:58 am

redturtlehead

Oh Angel this is bad news, but if the UTI clears up, maybe alot of the other issues will too. Will pray and think of you all.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

red, you are so much younger than her and I will tell her what you just "said"

7:58 am

sprite

Angelsong: yes of course, and I fully believe in that power. Will pray for your father and your family.

7:59 am

kje

so sorry, angel

7:59 am

redturtlehead

Annie, I slacked off a few weeks ago and BAM, all sorts of problems.

8:00 am

Anniebrook

Angel, my prayers for your Dad

8:00 am

Anniebrook

Red, I will nag her to keep up her excercises. She still wants to get into the city by subway and right now it is impossible. I will nag her.

8:01 am

lbdawger

t's and p's for your dad, angel

8:01 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito

8:01 am

redturtlehead

I think sometimes it feels silly to keep on with the, but then when I dont I cant do it.

8:01 am

redturtlehead

Whoa!!!! Congratulations to LBD.

8:02 am

redturtlehead

Angel- canyou update us when your Mom tells us what heppened in the ER?

8:02 am

Anniebrook

dawg, you are great, congrats!

8:02 am

sprite

wtg dawg!

8:03 am

lbdawger

ty, ty, ty, *blushing, certainly no greatness he4. just perseverance or OCD!"

8:03 am

Angelsong

yes, of course, Red. I just hope they will admit him

8:03 am

sprite

yes that would be a reassurance, I think, Angel. My hopes go with yours.

8:04 am

Anniebrook

angel, have them look into his meds. In Nov. I almost died because I was ove medicated with diuretics and my sodium level fell to 113.

8:04 am

redturtlehead

sounds like they will...based on my limited knowledge, plus its summer and the hospitals are supposedly less full.

8:04 am

sprite

lol OCD for sure, dawg... but you are great too :)

8:04 am

lbdawger

i would think his age and the fact that he's not eating would prompt at least an overnight observation.

8:04 am

kje

if he gets admitted, ask for a geriatrician to see him (geri consult) they can help you with the delirium, medications, better help at home, etc

8:04 am

redturtlehead

I could have used you the other day kje...

8:05 am

Angelsong

yes, his sodium has been low as well. I think there are just too many meds, and doctors who are not paying attention.

8:05 am

kje

you re most likely correct, angel - the geri docs will help clean that up

8:06 am

Anniebrook

A normal sodium level is very important. Mention that is sodium level is low.

8:06 am

redturtlehead

If it is a local hospital with a geri doc...just be sure they look at the meds and do not put all the delerium and such on to the UTI...which is what may happen.

8:08 am

kje

yes, geriatricians are in short supply, so may not have any there, but ask anyway, they will recognize this as multifactorial and go after correcting all factors

I think we are one of the few countries that have a national day that actually celebrates the birth of the nation.

9:34 am

godthaab

A recent survey asked 6 prominent U.S. politicians to name the country they would be most likely to save in an emergency (nuclear fallout; that kind of thing). Not one mentioned Canada.

9:34 am

car.eeyore

Hi godthaab!

9:34 am

car.eeyore

I would save Canada...it is beautiful!

9:34 am

Canada is a beautiful country.

9:38 am

car.eeyore

Wait, you are not looking forward to church...have you sinned this week?!?!?

9:39 am

car.eeyore

There are WAY too many E's and N's in this grid today.

I'm guessing church is not air conditioned.

9:41 am

godthaab

Even though the U.S. is Canada's best friend, I don't think it works the other way around. Remember when Bush was thanking all the countries of the world for helping after 9/11, he "forgot" to mention Canada.

9:41 am

car.eeyore

Hi pugmama!

hi pug

9:42 am

uusue2

Every week, car! :-) No, the talk is being given by a lay member (which is fine, we are partially lay-led anyway) but her title is Making Good Medicine: Old Wisdom for New Times and I am afraid it is all going to be about how wonderful herbs are and how bad modern medicine is (I know this lady) and I am going to spend the whole time biting my tongue

9:43 am

MollyL

That's too bad. Alternative medicine definitely has it's place in healing.

9:43 am

car.eeyore

Oh boy. Maybe she will surprise you and it will be about making the church a spiritually healing place.

9:44 am

uusue2

anyway it starts in 15 minutes and I need a shower so I'd better run. see you all later!

9:45 am

to you too, Aloy - I'm enjoying it so far, in spite of predicted way too hot temps, it's cloudy and not really so bad

11:45 am

rbud

plus our daughter, her BF, and his two boys have left for a few days with his dad, lovely peace and quiet... ahhhh....

11:45 am

Aloyisius

hope to get some outside work done today but will give it up if it is too hot

11:47 am

rbud

still plugging away at the new bedroom window trim and baseboards, progress is slow but steady. hope to be moved into it by the end of the week. then we can go to work on the old one (ceiling sheetrock falling, not good.)

11:49 am

Aloyisius

oh - major work.. one thing leads to another. I remember hubs bought a new toilet at Sears after we moved in, went to install it and discovered he had to replace most of the flooring too! wonder the old one didn't fall into the basement, lol.. gotta love old houses

11:51 am

rbud

haha, I hear that! our toilet has a bit of a tilt, beginning to worry me. hopefully will be okay till we move it to another room, all part of the master plan.

11:53 am

rbud

want to paint trim pieces before installing, but it's so humid... fear it won't dry. will put the fan on it, and try anyway.

11:54 am

rubyfoo

hello again

11:55 am

rbud

bigger problem right now is that every time I try to cut a nice miter corner on the littler trim pieces with my saw, it chips out a bit of wood. grrr. they get shorter and shorter, lol

11:55 am

rbud

hiya, ruby! (((hugs)))

12:00 pm

that sounds funny rbud but probably isn't

12:00 pm

12:01 pm

rbud

I think I need a finer-toothed saw blade, maybe, going to ask hubs when he quits napping

12:01 pm

I had a big argument in lexulous the other night with my opponent calling Lance a skunk (and worse). It atruck me funny

12:01 pm

rururocks

like the leaning tower of Pisa rbud?

12:01 pm

rbud

oh, is it on?

12:01 pm

yarn lady

hi all, rbud to help prevent chipping, put a piece of masking tape acrooss the line you will be cutting on or sandwich the piece between two scrap thin plywood or cardboard, (tips from my step dad the scroll-sawer:)

12:01 pm

yesterday was the prologue in Liege and today it was still in Belgium

Well it does for me. Sometimes vowel is second vowel.

3:02 pm

crosshair

an e is a sometimes vowel???

3:02 pm

crosshair

lol

3:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh. I was putting it on the end

3:03 pm

MollyL

The clue was "e + Starr of the Beatles with sometimes vowel (second vowel). It has nothing to do with E being a sometimes vowel.

3:03 pm

crosshair

strange..still makes no sense sorry

3:04 pm

hego

yes it does Crossy

3:04 pm

I sell a line of plastics
And I travel on the road
And I have a case of samples
Which believe me is a load

Every night a strange cafe
A strange hotel and then
Early in the morning
I am on the road again

When the season's over
And my lonesome journey ends
That's the only time I see
My family and my friends

I drive up Ocean Parkway
And before I stop the car
My ma leans out the window
And she hollers, "Here we are!"

Shake hands with your Uncle Max, my boy
And here is your sister Shirl
And here is your cousin Isabel
That's Irving's oldest girl
And you remember the Tishman twins
Gerald and Jerome
We all came out to greet you
And to wish you welcome home

Meet...
Merowitz, Berowitz, Handelman, Schandelman
Sperber and Gerber and Steiner and Stone
Boskowitz, Lubowitz, Aaronson, Baronson,
Kleinman and Feinman and Freidman and Cohen

Smallowitz, Wallowitz, Tidelbaum, Mandelbaum
Levin, Levinsky, Levine and Levi
Brumburger, Schlumburger, Minkus and Pinkus
And Stein with an "e-I" and Styne with a "why"

Shake hands with your Uncle Sol mein boy
And here is your brother Sid
And here is your cousin Yetta
Who expects another kid

Whenever you're on the road my boy
Wherever you may roam
We'll all be here when you come back
To wish you welcome home

Hi Molly. What's doing in the heat capital of the East Coast?

We just had a brief thunder storm. Cooled things down a bit

4:46 pm

I would love some rain but I imagine most others here would differ.

4:46 pm

MollyL

This area really took a huge hit from the Friday night storms. I am so grateful that we were not affected.

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

lots of people out of power...

4:50 pm

bichon

We were without power for 3 days [one of the lucky ones] after the October snowstorm. I'd rather be without power in the fall than in a heatwave

4:51 pm

gemini_J13

we were with out power for 16 days a few years ago... thank goodness we had a generator!

4:52 pm

bichon

16 days without internet?

4:58 pm

redturtlehead

In NC, we had this freak ice storm back in about 2002 or so, we were out of power for 2 weeks. But the phone service was on, so I had dial up. Took the puter to work every day and charged it. Good to work at hospital...

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

wow, I have 59 left, I think they took off for cooler climes.

5:00 pm

MollyL

I have been through extended power outages in the heat and the cold and I would rather the cold. It's easier to get warm than it is to get cool.

5:01 pm

redturtlehead

I would agree with that, plus its easier to keep food cold, you just put it outside.

5:01 pm

bichon

We stayed in the kitchen [can close off from rest of house] with a fire in the fire place. Was liveable

5:01 pm

MollyL

I could live 16 days without internet. 16 days without hot water is another thing entirely.
