1:28 am

westford

1:28 am

rururocks

because potatoes have eyes

1:28 am

cosdem

lmao

1:29 am

westford

I see

1:29 am

scouser

in some central american places only black bananas considered fit to eat others unripe. My city made much from banana imports

1:30 am

cosdem

<--love bananas.. grilled banana and PB sandwiches.. yum

1:30 am

westford

my ex sister in law is from Mexico and she loves black bananas

1:30 am

scouser

ty ru - good explanation. bag did not work too well - wonderful crop of potato sprouts in cupboard

1:31 am

scouser

Day-Oh

1:31 am

westford

1:33 am

flosey

1:33 am

flosey

very sorry

1:33 am

westford

flosey?

1:33 am

scouser

interesting how the potato plant family gives us the most and least toxic items

1:33 am

flosey

getting very tired

1:34 am

westford

it's allowed

1:34 am

westford

you must be pretty exhausted after all the company

1:34 am

scouser

sounds like a chog-condition flosey

1:35 am

westford

deadly nightshade ?

1:35 am

flosey

yes, hated to see them go though

1:35 am

Roses6

not so scouser. lots of folks are allergic to potatoes. they are in the nightshade family, along with tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.

1:35 am

westford

flosey were the grandsons reunited?

1:36 am

scouser

yes I am sensitive to any potato-outside-bits and even vaguely green bits on them

1:36 am

Roses6

you might check out noarthritis.com. changed my life when I gave them up.

1:37 am

westford

oh dear potatoes are so good

1:37 am

scouser

gave up spuds Roses6?

1:37 am

flosey

no, Dave didn't get out still hopes to come but this summer

1:37 am

Roses6

yes, completely. I gave up all nightshades at first. now I can eat some, but not potatoes at all. Traded them for being able to walk.

1:38 am

westford

will they all come flosey? his wife and son too?

1:38 am

flosey

well I expect son will come, dil may not be able to

1:39 am

westford

is it as hot in TO as it has been in the midwest?

1:39 am

scouser

that's most interesting Rose, especially in view of all the processed potato we get these days bulking up other foods

1:39 am

flosey

apparently, west - Gord and Linda enjoyed our temp

1:40 am

westford

a nice reprieve for them

1:41 am

westford

are you done with the rain?

1:41 am

Roses6

yeah, I have to watch out for it in soups and lots of 'snacks'. Now it's corn chips for me!

1:41 am

flosey

yes looks like sunny all week

1:42 am

westford

we have been so fortunate..a few hot days here and there but nothing like the rest of the country

1:42 am

scouser

Rose - I suppose it is a double-whammy good idea, lose weight (reduce load on limbs) and remove toxins

1:42 am

rururocks

i don't eat potatoes much anymore..

1:42 am

rururocks

mostly due to the carbohydrates

1:43 am

Roses6

I didn't lose any weight, replaced them with sweet potatoes (which interestingly are another plan altogether) and corn chips.

1:44 am

westford

so many restaurants are serving sweet potatoes now

1:44 am

rururocks

yes.. people are yammering for them

1:45 am

cosdem

lol ru.. yeah fast food now has sweet potato fries.. BK and Wendys

1:46 am

Roses6

yeah west, lucky timing for me! Also, I bake a few every few days and eat them sliced cold in salads. They travel well too.

1:46 am

cosdem

my neighbor feeds cold sweet potatoes to her dog. he loves it.

1:47 am

rururocks

would someone clue the sc 8 i just don't see it

1:47 am

cosdem

most of the sc5 before it

1:47 am

Roses6

Seriously though, if you or someone you know has arthritis, it's worth trying no nightshades. worked for me.

1:47 am

cosdem

help with the last ce6?

1:48 am

rururocks

thanks roses.. i need to consider that

1:49 am

Roses6

check out noarthritis.com for more info. I went off them for two weeks and then one day noticed the pain, and realized I'd eaten potato chips with lunch. After that I was and continue to be a believer, not to mention that now I walk everywhere all the time miles and miles pain free.

1:50 am

Roses6

stats for the lower left c?

1:50 am

rururocks

goes to show there is no such thing as a frite lunch

It is hard to return to work after a glorious summer weekend.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

{{scrabs}} a bunny hug for you

6:01 am

sprite

I bet :) But at least that weekend is yours forever.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Ty, Ruby. Bunny Bea is noisily devouring her morning salad nearby.

6:03 am

rubyfoo

do the rabbits make noise intentionally and "bunny foot" around the rest of the time? I had a friend who said her other wise quiet cat would periodically "thunder" around the house

6:03 am

sprite

the bunny I had as a kid used to stamp when he heard something outside

6:04 am

sprite

we called him our watchbunny

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Thumping--yes, quite loudly. It is a warning signal to other bunnies. Downstairs' bunny Bea likely hears deer or raccoons outside during the night and she starts the thumping. Then the boys upstairs get going and we have drum practice in the house.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

And sometimes they sprint like little crazy bunnies.

6:05 am

sprite

lol!

6:05 am

rubyfoo

so cu**

6:06 am

Scrabbler

I share a bedroom with Tucker so I often say, "Tucker, settle down. Stop thumping."

6:06 am

sprite

lol :D

6:07 am

rubyfoo

Ruby thumps, but I think it's just part of her scratching

6:07 am

sprite

how is she today?

6:07 am

rubyfoo

vet and I think her heart is getting tired because she's panting all the time, even when it isn't hot. Tonight vet is coming and we'll try some heart meds. Anything to keep her going comfortably as long as possible

6:08 am

rubyfoo

teen

6:08 am

6:08 am

6:09 am

sprite

yeah I know. You'll miss her like crazy.

6:09 am

Scrabbler

How old is Ruby? My friend's cat, Hudson, is 20 and losing weight, but still jumping on the tables and counters and is eating.

6:09 am

6:18 am

rubyfoo

6:18 am

6:20 am

redturtlehead

Hi I usually lurk in the am, but...

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi Red. My friend just wants this cat to die because she has never liked him. I like him. He comes to me and purrs when I pet him.

6:20 am

rubyfoo

I said hello, red, but in the wrong box!

6:20 am

redturtlehead

lol

6:20 am

sprite

aw that is so sad, Scrabs

6:20 am

herinfernallady

So a quick catch up but you are saying Negative Neils brother is in USA Ido

6:20 am

sprite

lol ruby, that didn't score!

6:21 am

rubyfoo

that is awful!

6:21 am

redturtlehead

that is sad, after 20 yrs you would think they got used to it.

6:21 am

sprite

has won some Idol competition, lady.

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Why would anyone want to wish that on a pet. Why not give the animal to a loving family

6:22 am

rubyfoo

how can people be so cold?

6:22 am

sprite

indeed.

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Was this said on Babble recently

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I get mad at my friend. She favors her little Peke-a-Poo. She also is not fond of her racehorse-built Choc Lab who I adore.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Neils brother is Glambert?

6:23 am

redturtlehead

why do you have pets if you dont like them? I admit there are many moment when Teulu is a pain in the rear...

6:23 am

Scrabbler

My friend can be very dramatic and thoughtless sometimes.

6:23 am

sprite

I don't know, lady. Has been common knowledge for a long time, it seems.

6:24 am

sprite

lol red... pets are like kids, in that respect... sometimes you really want to paste them behind the wallpaper and move uit quickly. But that feeling is very shortlived :)

6:24 am

herinfernallady

See the rock I like hiding under

6:24 am

redturtlehead

I had no idea..

6:24 am

Scrabbler

My friend wants her pets to be the way she wants and when they aren't she isn't so fond of them

6:24 am

sprite

*giggles* Lady, don't worry about it. It is great to see you.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

So her kids and her husband and I pay attention to the cat and the Lab.

6:25 am

sprite

that is sad, Scrabs. Animals SO have their own personalities. It is what I love best about them.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

at least the lab has the rest of his fan club

6:25 am

rubyfoo

I don't even mind when the pups eat the wallpaper

6:25 am

rubyfoo

as long as they don't bite or mess in the house

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Sprite back at you

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I often want to smack my friend for being uncaring at times.

6:26 am

herinfernallady

My cat hates everyone equally. I have told people that and if they don't like it don't come into my house. She is not a fan of new people

6:26 am

sprite

I can imagine. Must be hard to be a true animal lover and see your friend not being one.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, I was supposed to leave for work 1 min ago. I must get prettied up and into work clothes. Bye.

6:27 am

sprite

Bye Scrabs, have a good day at work

Hi uusue. What do you think? Earlier this year, they announce that they think, but they're not sure, they have found the Higgs Boson. Then on July 4th, they announce that they are pretty sure they have found it. Did they have enough time to sort through the millions of pieces of data for actual proof? Is July 4th propitious? Or am I just reading too many conspiracy theories?

7:15 am

hi godt, the announcement of the Higgs was made just prior to the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Melbourne, which is going on now. They did it so the attendees could get all the news at once instead of having to wade through a zillion more detailed talks.

7:18 am

Mom

bye Peri

7:19 am

Mom

hello Godthaab

7:19 am

uusue2

and hi mom, yes, the terrible heat is gone and 87 degrees seems quite pleasant. It is even getting into the 60s at night!

7:19 am

godthaab

Ok, interesting.

7:19 am

Mom

glad to hear that Uusue

7:19 am

uusue2

also, godt, people were busting their butts to get results for the conference; it only occurs every other year

7:20 am

crosshair

it is sunny and 62f here today:))

7:20 am

godthaab

I was under the impression it would take about two years to get through all that data.

7:21 am

uusue2

well, they are still working on it. The Higgs has a number of different decay channels (meaning you can observe it by looking at various different types of events), and they focused on the ones where it was most likely to show up (which it did).

7:22 am

uusue2

But the details, and the other channels, will take longer. And they are still taking data, so the statistical significance should improve.

7:22 am

godthaab

And I guess they are 99% sure..... (something I read)

7:24 am

uusue2

Pretty much. Quantifying exactly how sure we are is a complicated business.

7:24 am

godthaab

I bet!

7:26 am

uusue2

I have a graduate student who is analyzing Fermilab data, looking for the Higgs decaying to four leptons (muons or electrons); he should have results by the spring. Won't be competitive with CERN but it will be interesting to confirm what they see.

7:28 am

godthaab

So the Higgs decays into photons, gluons, etc?

7:31 am

crosshair

crossy feels like a fresh know nothing student again..:/

7:31 am

uusue2

right, and quarks, and W/Z pairs

7:32 am

7:34 am

EvaNadine

how the heck have you all been??

7:34 am

uusue2

eva, did you get through all the storms and power outages ok?

7:36 am

EvaNadine

sue, we were actually on vacation down in orlando... got there just after all the nasty hurricanes/tropical storms left + just before the power outages here.

7:36 am

uusue2

ah, good timing! I hope you had a great vacation!

7:36 am

EvaNadine

our old roommate checked on the house for us...storm door is damaged, but otherwise the house was fine. course, he wasnt brilliant enough to switch the AC on before we got home, so the house was BOILING when we got there.

7:37 am

EvaNadine

only sad news to report is that we lost one of our newest baby lizards to (we think) dehydration caused by all the heat. :(

7:38 am

uusue2

oh dear, poor baby!

Mom

halfway, time to start my day. (((Hugs))) to all of you

7:40 am

Mom

7:40 am

Mom

oops, sorry

7:40 am

EvaNadine

its our own fault, really. it has been a long time since we have had such tiny lizards + most of ours are pretty sturdy, so we dont really worry about going away for a week without giving them much water. we really should have asked the old roommie to give the little ones water while we were gone. we feel really terrible about it. :(

7:41 am

crosshair

you are raising lizards?

7:41 am

EvaNadine

we have a few as pets. they are our kids. :)

7:43 am

crosshair

we have one family in town that has a pet ferret.the thing is harness trained and you can often see them about town as they take it for walks

7:44 am

EvaNadine

i used to have an iguana that was harness trained. i think somewhere the hubby has a harness, but none of the ones we have now are trained for it.

7:45 am

crosshair

you have the hubby harness trained already?? wow good job:))

7:45 am

crosshair

the mrs is still training me after 19 years:)

7:46 am

seriously. we went to the grocery store last night, since we had to replace pretty much EVERYTHING. i decided to figure out what meals we wanted to have for this week only and buy only the things we needed for those meals. lets just say i should have gone alone.
by the time we came out, we had spent $250 and that was WITH the discount card and coupons. UGH.

7:50 am

uusue2

only one i cherish is the public school teacher who taught me to read.now that is a gift beyond price

10:27 am

stidmama

I am not in contact with anyone from high school. My favorite teachers moved on or died, the people ... *shrug* I hated high school in general and was glad to have it well behind me. I had a few friends, but we drifted apart and don't have anything in common now.

Once I joined Facebook, I was able to re-connect with some old friends. Hadn't seen any of them since the 10 year reunion.

Judi

And yes, I'm going to the PB for that.

10:32 am

stidmama

I guess some people really enjoy the experience -- the ones who fit in, perhaps? The ones who aren't different, who aren't bullied, who find a niche? My only relief was science classes. Loved them. My best friend in high school died (suicide most likely) of an overdose a couple years later -- had been bullied constantly for being non-gender-conforming. Another friend, same thing. Another friend was picked on for being a "boat person." I hated high school.

Thanks, Stiddy. Fortunately, the people who I knew as jerks in HS have grown up and are now nice human beings. Hopefully, they think the same of me!

no cross -- in the aftermath of the Vietnam conflict our state was one that invited refugees to settle. I helped in the "English as a Second Language" classes and made many Vietnamese and Cambodian friends. Some were more able to integrate than others, but before they came, there were NO Asian students in our area to speak of.

hi, all. I am dealing with some secondary trauma this morning. My parents had a fire at their home last night, and it appears about half of the home was destroyed. Fortunately, my parents, my brother and their dogs got out safely. My mother has some burns on her arms, but was not seriously injured. It was a grease fire that started in the kitchen.

11:36 am

EvaNadine

just wanted a quick opinion on a rash that seems to have popped up from out of nowhere. ive got an appt in the morning to have it checked out...
it is red + splotchy with small spots. no pain or itching. started in my bikini area, spread to my inner thighs + this morning i awoke to find a small patch on the inside of my elbow. for the most part nothing is raised, but there are a few blisters/bumps on my fanny and one on my elbow.
any thoughts?

11:36 am

Scrabbler

Any exposure to poison ivy/oak or something else new?

11:37 am

EvaNadine

not sure if the bumps on my rear end are related, as there is no rash there.

11:38 am

EvaNadine

i wouldnt think it is poison ivy/oak, as i dont think ive been around any plants.
it started up while i was on vacation, so i was sleeping in a different bed with different bedsheets. hoping i didnt catch anything from them. :/

11:38 am

Scrabbler

Itchy?

11:39 am

Scrabbler

Oh, you indicated no.

11:39 am

EvaNadine

not itchy or painful at all. wouldnt even know its there if i hadnt seen it.

11:39 am

Scrabbler

Could be impetigo--superficial skin infection. Can be blistered but usually is crusted with orangish crust.

11:40 am

Scrabbler

Any ingrown hairs that may have triggered a skin infection?

11:41 am

EvaNadine

i had impetigo once when i was younger. i actually thought of that...i havent got any crust... at least not yet. i often get ingrowns in the bikini zone...could that have spread to my arm?

11:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that can spread--Staph and Strep cause skin infections.

11:50 am

EvaNadine

well, hopefully its nothing serious. i hate sleeping on other peoples sheets for just that fear!

11:52 am

EvaNadine

side note: dont do a google image search for skin rashes while eating your lunch. ewie!

11:53 am

Scrabbler

Believe me, I have seen lots of gross stuff.

11:53 am

EvaNadine

ive got a weak stomach for medical stuff when im eating...heh

11:54 am

EvaNadine

looking at the pictures, though, im not sure its impetigo... unless its a really mild case. honestly, i just thought it was razor burn until it started spreading...

11:54 am

Scrabbler

Could be mild.

11:55 am

EvaNadine

after seeing the pictures, i remember the orange crustiness. it was all around my nose!

11:56 am

Scrabbler

Recently?

11:57 am

EvaNadine

no, when i was a kid. i think i was 7th grade when i had it.

12:00 pm

oh well. i have an appt in the morning. hopefully the doctor will figure it out for sure. :)

hi. I just got past half way and have suddenly hit the wall. Does this grid suddenly get harder then or is it just me?

I don't think it is you Nef but I am pretty slow at the best of times

Lol. Bugs you're pretty good at this (from seeing you play; never checked stats on anyone before); and I was wondering if a nap might help, Molly.

congrats Bugs! What did you do before retiring? (Sorry, I can't remember)

3:19 pm

Bugsaw

I just left the school system working with kids who have difficulties. It was very challenging and when I found myself not having enough patience, I quit

3:20 pm

Nef

I've found I don't want to be completely retired, I ne4 to stay active in my nursing profession to remain sane!

3:20 pm

Nef

good time to quit, Bugs.

3:20 pm

hego

Don't you get enough of that at home?

3:20 pm

Bugsaw

school is hard enough for them without having to deal with a cranky grandmother. I will work a couple of days a week privately with one kid in the fall and that will ease a lot of stuff

3:21 pm

hego

nursing that is.

3:21 pm

Bugsaw

LOL hego I thot you meant cranky people!

3:21 pm

3:22 pm

nef is always taking care of someone. she's a doll.

3:22 pm

Nef

THAT is why I ne** to be active in other parts of the profession, hego. This 24/7 "bedside" stuff is a killer! Ihave to have outside professional stuff to help too. (Not the bedside stuff)

3:23 pm

hego

I understand.

3:23 pm

hego

that's why i worked at the clinic Nef. It was a great experience.

3:23 pm

Bugsaw

I found t easier to deal with other people

3:23 pm

I've always enjoyed being involved in my professional association. I went to a Board of Nursing meeting recently and found out how much I liked that

3:24 pm

... people's kids I mean

3:24 pm

hego

great

3:24 pm

Nef

other peoples' kids are easier to take care of, Bugs

3:26 pm

I've be** volunteering at the clinic, hego. But I'm going to do some of the managerial stuff too for a while; not enough to actually "be" there; but the certifications and policies and procedure manuals, etc.

3:34 pm

hego

good going

3:36 pm

Nef

3:37 pm

hego

lol I did the same thing

3:37 pm

Nef

so did you find most of them now?

3:38 pm

hego

2 missing

3:41 pm

I am missing a 5, 14 and a 6, 26. maybe a combo

3:43 pm

Nef

we're missing the same 2 hego. Sorry. :-(

3:43 pm

hego

I knew it!

3:43 pm

tivel

Nef could you clarify your clue for the sc 5/12

3:43 pm

hego

I'll get it later.

3:44 pm

Nef

tivel, here in Minnesota we tell a lot of Ole and L*** jokes (Scandahoovian jokes)

3:45 pm

tivel

Thanks

3:46 pm

Nef

did that help; or did I confuse you?

3:46 pm

tivel

I'm a little confused

3:56 pm

hego

lucky day

3:57 pm

tedybeth

Are you all still looking for sc5,14; 6,24? They are odd [to me] sc + the last of something plus PL

3:57 pm

stidmama

all okay, Nef? Was thinking about all that heat, not sure if you were affected where you live.

3:57 pm

Nef

it is. Although I don't mind the long calls, it's hard to do anything else when she calls

3:57 pm

stidmama

nice clue, tedybeth1

3:57 pm

hego

ty Teddy!

4:00 pm

Nef

And yes, we had a Lot of heat and humidity.

4:02 pm

4:14 pm

hego

we have it Molly

4:14 pm

cosdem

do u have the last ca5?

4:14 pm

stidmama

But that's why I always wait to be in the garden until someone can help me up when I am stupid. *sigh* I sat down on the ground directly, instead of on the little chair thing, on the bad side. And the hip popped out. So now I have to wait until Tom gets home to put it back.

4:14 pm

cosdem

add a vowel before the last kletter for the ca6

4:15 pm

hego

yes Cos i do

4:15 pm

hego

hmmm....

4:15 pm

Nef

OUCH! Stid; that's terrible!

4:16 pm

Nef

Can't your son help with that stid?

4:16 pm

hego

Oh my God Stid!

4:16 pm

stidmama

Yep. I am pretty unhappy. It'll be okay, it just hurts and means I am unable to work in the garden again until later.

4:16 pm

Nef

science, having to do with the bowel (specifically, the appendix

4:17 pm

stidmama

Maybe, Nef -- he was able to help the other day when it was only a little bit out of place. But it has to stop being so angry first.

4:17 pm

sciencegeek

stidmama

hey science

glad you got it! :-)

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

4:23 pm

MollyL

Yes

4:23 pm

hego

yes

4:24 pm

sciencegeek

this is tough or am I getting stupider each day

4:24 pm

hego

it has some tough words

4:24 pm

hego

keep an eye out for endings

4:25 pm

Nef

I know the feeling, sg. But try pluralizing and PT everything and see if that helps you.

4:25 pm

hego

pl, pt, and a superlative.

4:25 pm

sciencegeek

need one more L and I cannot see a thing

4:25 pm

hego

the l's are normal

4:25 pm

hego

all le

4:26 pm

sciencegeek

found it

4:26 pm

hego

yay

4:26 pm

Nef

my last L was the last one; I always use that word with an apostrophe in it

4:26 pm

sciencegeek

okay missing one T

4:27 pm

sciencegeek

I have two te 6's

4:27 pm

MollyL

Yes, but he plural of allowing someone in has no apostrophe : D

4:27 pm

sciencegeek

oh it is a four

4:28 pm

Nef

true, Molly. I just use it the other way much more often

4:28 pm

sciencegeek

OMG what is with the e's?????!

4:29 pm

hego

Yay! done!

4:29 pm

sciencegeek

yay hego

4:29 pm

YAY, hego!!! WTG!!!

4:29 pm

hego

4:30 pm

stidmama

Sorry, I wandered off. NOT using ice this time, heat felt better. But did take Aleve and tylenol. Usually heat works faster than ice for me.

4:31 pm

Bugsaw

YAY hego and OH NO stid.

4:31 pm

sciencegeek

stid, what did you do?

4:32 pm

Bugsaw

(just came back from outside. too hot for long)

4:32 pm

hego

Hubby home. must go say hi at least. hagn All.

4:32 pm

Nef

it's okay, stid. I find heat works better for me too for sore joints.

4:32 pm

stidmama

later hego!

4:32 pm

hego

Poof!

4:33 pm

stidmama

I sat down wrong in the garden to do some weeding, science, and popped my hip out again.

4:33 pm

stidmama

It took HOURS to warm up here, bugs -- cloudy until around 11:30.

4:33 pm

sciencegeek

ousch

4:33 pm

sciencegeek

ouch

4:33 pm

Bugsaw

is Tom a chiropractor by any chance?

4:34 pm

stidmama

no bugs, but he has learned to fix me when I am broken, as has Grant.

4:34 pm

saanichcat

stid, sorry about your hip. The haze and clouds are coming from Asia and Russia...

4:35 pm

stidmama

hey saanich

4:35 pm

Bugsaw

yes I heard that about fires over there are landing here. I thot it might be from Colorado

4:36 pm

saanichcat

Hey yourself. Just had a nap, checked in here briefly and here you are! Back to finish here.

4:36 pm

Bugsaw

stid can you tell me how Murphy is? I heard was not well just before the weekend and he has been on my mind a lot too

4:36 pm

saanichcat

hi bugs!

4:37 pm

stidmama

I don't mind the haze and clouds, much ... but it meant I was a little slower getting outside than I have been! LOL I rather like when the sun shines through at 6 and wakes me up.

4:37 pm

Bugsaw

you must be a CBC listener too saanich

4:37 pm

stidmama

Murphy is fine. He was fine then, too. He just didn't want my folks to leave, and then the fireworks scared him.

4:38 pm

Bugsaw

oh for Pete's sake. he sure is spoiled but now your parents know not to be conned. ;)

4:39 pm

stidmama

No, they don't, actually. But I hope I can convince Mother to start keeping a sedative for the fireworks celebrations. There is no need for him to suffer through that.

4:39 pm

Nef

who's Murphy?

4:39 pm

saanichcat

Today is just "one of those days" I guess. And Bugs I listen to CBC but has the programming ever in a self-destruct mode. Back now really to finish. poof til laterXXO

4:40 pm

stidmama

later saanich

4:40 pm

stidmama

Murphy is their dog, Nef.

4:40 pm

stidmama

He's a lovely fellow, but has bonded a little too closely, imho

4:41 pm

stidmama

Labs are not supposed to be "one person/one family" dogs the way shepherds like my Lucky are.

4:41 pm

Bugsaw

but they are so sweet to have around

4:42 pm

Nef

stid, if he's afraid of loud noises, a "thunder coat" is very effective. It's a tight jacket for dogs; kind of like swaddling a baby in theory and it really works

4:42 pm

stidmama

yes, he is sweet. I will suggest that to Mother, thanks. Although I suspect my paternal unit will nix that idea.

4:43 pm

Bugsaw

that works for kids with autism or ADHD too Nef. I did not know it worked for pets. Huh

4:46 pm

Nef

my friend has 2 Cavalier dogs and the older one is extremely frightened by thunder and fireworks. The jacket is a lifesaver

4:47 pm

sciencegeek

thanks for the link, nef

4:49 pm

sciencegeek

I am getting stupider. I am blaming menopause

4:50 pm

Bugsaw

it works for me science

4:51 pm

sciencegeek

need the last ce 6

4:52 pm

sciencegeek

got it

4:53 pm

Nef

Bugs; both of our kids are ADHD. When my dtr was young, she'd get more and more wound up until I was forced to spank her. I couldn't understand why she wanted a spanking, but thinking back on it; i'd also be holding her tightly before I could spank her. (And in case anyone is worried; the spanking was with an open hand, on her butt, about 10-12 smacks without any anger. I wasn't abusing her; the doctors told me it wasn't abuse)

4:55 pm

Bugsaw

two of mine were too Nef and sometimes, between 2 -4 years, I wud roll him up in his bed duvet. he was able to settle down to sleep quicker and then I wud go in and unroll him so he didn't get too hot. He was a foster kid at that point so spankings were a definate nono no matter what.

4:56 pm

Bugsaw

social workers said that was okay too but we didn't know anything back then. It was all trial and error

4:56 pm

sciencegeek

help......need the de 6 and 7!

4:57 pm

sciencegeek

oh stupid again got it

4:57 pm

Bugsaw

me too

4:57 pm

sciencegeek

sorry you all! I am not with it today!

4:57 pm

Nef

I wish I would have known back then that *that* was what would calm her down. Having been beaten myself as a child I never wanted to hit my kids. I even called for 911 for help once!

4:58 pm

Nef

(that call put the county social workers on us; our daughter was a handful; but the social workers decided that what we needed was a break from our son, Not her!

4:58 pm

Bugsaw

I was too Nef and when I did spank, 4 kids and 4times, I was so sure to only whap with my hand 3 times and no more. I was so afraid of turning into my mother

4:59 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad the social workers were good to you. People don't realize how bad it can be

5:00 pm

Nef

I hear you, Bugs. (but it wasn't my mother, she died when I was 8)

5:00 pm

Bugsaw

so your dad was overwhelmed and grieving too? my mother had undiagnosed bipolar

5:01 pm

Nef

LOL! The social workers would drop in unannounced every so often and they did that for a year. Our son was crazy busy, but not disobedient; our dtr was a challenge! But put a stranger in the house and she was "simply charming!"

5:01 pm

Nef

no, we were raised by an aunt and uncle. It was my Aunt who'd beat us.

5:02 pm

Bugsaw

LOL! I used to think all I had to do was take him to the doctor and he wud be as good as gold.

5:03 pm

Nef

her pediatrician told us to put a chain lock on her bedroom door because she'd get out of the house and run down the street or go to the playyard, etc. when she was barely 2!

5:03 pm

Bugsaw

instead I threw him in the bathtub a lot. It was close and safe and he loved playing cars in there so he wud settle himself .

5:04 pm

Bugsaw

sometimes the kid had 4 or 5 baths a day but he was a happy little prune.

5:04 pm

Nef

LOL!

5:05 pm

MollyL

Water is often very soothing for kids.

5:05 pm

Bugsaw

did you ever try food elimination Nef? It helped one of them

5:05 pm

Bugsaw

BBL

5:06 pm

Nef

The chain lock on the door worked til a fireman visited preschool and told the kids they needed 2 exits from a room. She went out the window at 3 1/2 yrs old

5:07 pm

Nef

we tried all sorts of food elimination diets. Our son was lactose intolerant so he was already on a very strict diet; our dtr. reacted to red food dyes. I always say that she's 29 yrs old and still hasn't slept through the night (and it is true)

5:09 pm

MollyL

Good Lord Nef, I can't even imagine a metabolism like that. Jack rabbits move slower and sleep more.

5:09 pm

crosshair

reading back nef and it was a wild rollercoaster of schools saying they would kick him out unless he was medicated,unsafe meds took years before things settled down.problem is we live in a nanny province.when he was in grade 3,i spanked him in much the way you described,and when i went to pick him up,i had 2 police cars and the childrens aid waiting fro me.seems the teacher thought he looked sad my son said he got spanked.the teacher according to police notes said i had beat the child..in this brave new canada.it is now a very brave parent who spanks their public school child

5:09 pm

sciencegeek

hey crossy!

5:10 pm

crosshair

howdy science

5:11 pm

Nef

(((crossy))) with our kids, I was very careful after what I'd been through. We were in family counseling for years

5:11 pm

crosshair

as were we

5:12 pm

crosshair

basically we were forced to medicate

5:12 pm

Nef

it's frustrating, I know.

5:12 pm

crosshair

or no schooling

5:13 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone, clue for the U and the lone C?

5:13 pm

Nef

crossy, we did medicate but not through the schools' counsellors or psych. I'd take them elsewhere for an independant eval.

5:14 pm

crosshair

so ritalin at first and we complained..nasty stuff,then one i cannot remember now he is 18 and copes with a single adderal and caffene

5:14 pm

crosshair

we did also..was a wild,wild time

5:14 pm

Nef

Hi lbd! the c is 4 letters, used when talking about the appendix

my son now works at our local humane society.ity is a good energy release for him.he can set his own hours and now is doing 7 hours a day 5 days a week caring for the animals

5:23 pm

Nef

good for him, crossy. If he finds something he likes, it channels his energy and he can be successful.

5:23 pm

crosshair

indeed,must give them a focus

5:24 pm

Bugsaw

back again. One son was on Ritalin because absolutely nothing else came even close to being effective. He is 33 now and still has kidneys.

5:29 pm

crosshair

we saw fast weight gain and the start of kidney issues so it was a no go

5:30 pm

Nef

okay. DO we have a game going in WwF? I've been remiss in getting them going again

5:30 pm

periwinkle

no,Nef, you resigned. do you want to have another game?

5:31 pm

Nef

sure. We had our grandson for 10 days straight; and I think that when I resigned I was nearly 100 points behind and no place to play my letters.

5:31 pm

periwinkle

ok,I will see If I can start a game

5:32 pm

Nef

Bugs and crossy, we didn't have any kidney problems for either kid.I was very careful about how muchthey were on though.

5:32 pm

periwinkle

Nef, I do not see you there to ask for a rematch.

5:32 pm

Nef

okay, peri. Sounds good!

9:52 pm

rururocks

9:52 pm

herinfernallady

hi. Ru is right. If Brussels Sprouts are the devils testicles then the zucchinni /cucumber is the penis.

9:52 pm

rbud

ewwwww, gumbo... they have Burdoo Days here in a nearby town, kinda the same thing, just whatever everyone brings gets thrown in and cooked til it's unrecognizable

9:52 pm

9:54 pm

rbud

oops, that's burgoo, not burdoo

9:55 pm

rbud

I know we have the jumping fish here, can knock you right out of your boat if you stand up and get hit by one - maybe the same fish - aggressive things, they are!

9:55 pm

MollyL

Oh great, now all the men with no balls are going to claim the testicle eating fish excuse.
