1:41 am

rururocks

1:41 am

jillibus

well, that sounds pretty easy

1:41 am

1:43 am

flosey

thanks ru, encouragement sure helps

1:43 am

jillibus

ruru, flosey is a terrific bridge player and that requires lots of memory. That doc is very tough.

1:43 am

rururocks

if you can play bridge you can pass a driver's te4

1:44 am

flosey

apparently he has a reputation of being tough on this particular test

1:44 am

flosey

he is a very thorough doc

1:44 am

grannyrose

ruru, and flosey...hope you both are feeling better after a good night's rest. {{{hugs}}}} to both of you

1:45 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

rururocks

I hate it when I lose my vision from headaches

1:45 am

jillibus

ugh, ruru -- someting you et? Or just a "sick headache"?

1:45 am

grannyrose

WTG ANIKE!!!!

1:45 am

jillibus

wtg anike.

1:46 am

rururocks

side effects from the migraine jilli

1:46 am

anike

TY. I'm off to try to remember how to make a successful pavlova - haven't made one for years. Happy babbling everyone

1:46 am

grannyrose

ruru, clod pack...heat pack....sometimes it stems from neck muscle spasm.

1:47 am

rururocks

clod pack?

1:47 am

flosey

good luck anike

1:47 am

grannyrose

ugh, my migraines always start in the right-side of my neck. clod...cold...whatever works

1:48 am

jillibus

migraines used to be called sick headaches, for good reason

1:48 am

grannyrose

good luck, anike. hope it goes well

1:48 am

jillibus

love pavlovas!

1:49 am

rururocks

not sure what a pavlova is ?

1:49 am

flosey

me too, just learned how easy the meringues are to make

1:50 am

grannyrose

and i always have a really pretty display ofsparkles before the pain se4 in...usually enough warning to take meds. but not if i am out of home.

1:50 am

flosey

the base is a meringue, then filled with fruit and whipped cream, or filling such as lemon curd, etc

1:50 am

rururocks

what if you aren't crazy about it anike would it be a pavlika?

1:50 am

grannyrose

ruru, doesn't know a pavlova???? will mail you one, dear

1:50 am

jillibus

big flat meringue with various fruits on top plus whipped cream

1:51 am

grannyrose

but, jilli, it has to be crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

1:52 am

grannyrose

sort of like ruru.... there you are...your new user name, ruru....pavlova.;P

1:52 am

jillibus

I guess it's all in the perfection of the meringue. Any trick to it?

1:53 am

jillibus

I've never made one, but I have made regular "forgotten" meringues.

1:53 am

rururocks

was thinking it's pav's boyfriend

1:54 am

grannyrose

yes jilli. the slow adding of the castor sugar, whipping until the mixture has a sheen to it, and a very slow bake on a low temperature. above all, do not remove from oven until oven is completely cold.

1:54 am

cosdem

hi all I have one left.. It's an S6....

1:54 am

cosdem

cant figure it out. dont wanna list for last one :P

1:54 am

flosey

1:55 am

cosdem

hi flosey, everyone else

1:55 am

grannyrose

have you pluraled all 4 of your st5's

1:56 am

jillibus

same idea for "forgotten" meringues -- put them in a low oven and turn it off. Leave them in overnight.

1:56 am

cosdem

just checked. yep

1:56 am

grannyrose

or se6, child play equipment

1:56 am

2:08 am

grannyrose

flosey, you can take 3 x aspirin stat, and another tynelol

2:08 am

grannyrose

ruru, how do you go with paracetamol?

2:10 am

grannyrose

flosey, the aspirin thins your blood, so there is less pressure on the blood vessels. just don't plan on cutting yourself for the next 24 hours.

2:10 am

jillibus

granny, I think that's called tylenol over here

2:11 am

jillibus

Hello, sprite. Thanks. I hope you are too.

How is the little lion doing?

5:02 am

incredibly well. We changed his food and he is blooming. Playful, silly, great company and healthy as can be.

5:03 am

BabbleRabble

Wonderful

5:03 am

sprite

he is a bit of sunshine, every day.

5:04 am

BabbleRabble

Everyone can use a bit of sunshine

isn't that the truth.

why is it hard to believe?

5:07 am

BabbleRabble

Seems 2012 just arrived

5:08 am

BabbleRabble

Now I have to countdown the days til Christmas

5:08 am

sprite

ah :)
It's been kind of a tough year here so far, it seems rather long to me. But when I realise Xmas is on its way... yeah, it seems short!

5:08 am

sprite

I knew you'd mention Xmas, grin.

5:08 am

BabbleRabble

I knew you knew

5:09 am

sprite

yeah, you did

5:09 am

BabbleRabble

Hard times are hard

5:09 am

sprite

was thinking of you this morning... I came upon a series of puns. Fun ones.

5:09 am

sprite

yes they are. I have yet to hear the first person complain about soft times.

5:10 am

BabbleRabble

All we can do is keep on plugging away

5:11 am

sprite

I think we are very experienced at that, BabbleRabble.

5:11 am

I'll send you the puns - they may be good for a smile.

I like that one. Am copying it... it fits pretty well with what I am working on in myself atm. Thanks.

5:27 am

BabbleRabble

And the puns are very punny

5:27 am

BabbleRabble

Thanks

5:28 am

sprite

you're very welcome. I'd wish I could think of an answer that was punny but I can't :)

5:29 am

BabbleRabble

Wiseacres might sometimes take the pun out of it.

5:30 am

sprite

*grin*

5:31 am

BabbleRabble

80 are shown as being online ..... must be something I said.

5:31 am

sprite

maybe they are just afraid we will make pun of them.

5:32 am

BabbleRabble

That might well be.

5:35 am

my monkeys just found an odd sk4/9. So I looked it up and learned it is also called a bonxie. Life with Babble is never dull.

Flask1

...and Sprite..:)

5:40 am

omg BabbleRabble... the gruesome things people can do to eachother.

5:41 am

251, gran. Lickety sometimes has an extra word because he uses a newer version of Enable.

5:41 am

Flask: doing ok. Working very very hard in therapy and finally getting results, so it is well.

5:41 am

how are you doing atm?

5:43 am

arrrrgh that is painful. But battling it in the right way. Take good care of you, hun - kidneys are base energy. You will need lots of re4.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. ~Rene Descartes

6:00 am

sprite

I have this more-than-daily question to myself: do _I_ believe this, or do I just repeat what I have learned/heard/read?

6:01 am

BabbleRabble

Yes, the herd mentality keeps one from forging our own truth from our perception

6:02 am

sprite

yes. I want to believe I am a autonomous tiger, but I fear I am often a silly sheep.

6:04 am

BabbleRabble

parvanimity is a concern

6:05 am

sprite

ok I need to look that up, lolll

6:05 am

sprite

here goes: "The state or quality of having a little or ignoble mind; pettiness; meanness; - opposed to magnanimity"

6:06 am

BabbleRabble

yep

6:07 am

sprite

well I can be petty, but I am never intentionally mean. That should count for something, grin. Do sheep get parvo?

6:10 am

BabbleRabble

I am a sinner who must admit and seek forgiveness for para

as soon as we realise nobody is perfect and people are simply doing the best they can, no forgiveness is needed anymore.

((Une)) good morning. Isaac been through Nashville?

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

lots of good rain, yes :-)

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

plants and birds very happy LOL

7:15 am

Mom

the kids come home tomorrow, so the little guys will be going home :-( (not that I would want 3 cats all the time)

7:16 am

Mom

we are just getting it here, Une

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

bet you can use the wet stuff, eh?

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Those poor people in La and Miss.

7:17 am

Mom

yes, we can. everything is dead that hasn't been watered by the hose

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

i know, Annie . . .

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

friends and relatives in northern La made it thru ok

7:17 am

MollyL

There was a lot of flooding in Florida too. For some reason, it isn't getting much news coverage.

7:17 am

Anniebrook

Mom, Im glad you got the rain you needed. Une, are you being pounded by rain or has it passed you?

7:17 am

Mom

it is mess to be sure. I feel so bad for them

7:18 am

Mom

LA seems to get all the news coverage

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

we've had some big "poundings" in the last 48 hrs -- just cloudy right now

7:18 am

Mom

glad to hear that Une

7:18 am

MollyL

Seems like Labor Day weekend is often rainy.

7:18 am

Mom

about your friends

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

hey, molly

7:19 am

Mom

the clouds are crying for the unofficial end of summer

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Not good for Labor Day BBQ's....

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Mom, that is very nicely put

7:19 am

MollyL

Oh well, then I'm crying with them. This is the beginning of my not so favorite time of year.

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

NPR just had a segment about the 15,000-16,000 drowned nutria that are part of the cleanup in Louisiana -- ugh

7:20 am

Anniebrook

I love fall but winter is hard the older I get.

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

i understand, annie . . .

7:20 am

MollyL

I have a problem with the loss of light. Not to the point where I have the affective disorder, but it does hit me.

7:21 am

Mom

I am not a big fan of winter, unless it can be like last winter each year

7:21 am

Anniebrook

I saw Hope Springs with Meryl Streep yesterday

7:21 am

Mom

oh Molly ((s))

7:21 am

Mom

((Hugs))

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

molly, it really used to affect my mom . . .

7:21 am

Mom

I hear that was a cute movie

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

did you like it, annie?

7:21 am

MollyL

And now, because we had a mild winter last year, people are wailing that we are going to get clobbered this winter.

7:22 am

Anniebrook

Une, It was like an older-chick-flik but Miss Streep makes everything better.

7:22 am

MollyL

My friend's teenage daughter refers to Hope Springs as "that old folks movie". I gave her a dirty look for that.
: D

7:23 am

Mom

our neighbor saw it and liked it (she is 65)

7:23 am

Uneaixoise

i kinda figured . . . and yes, Meryl is always stellar -- one of the cable channels has been rerunning Julie and Julia and I've watched it again a couple of times! LOL

7:23 am

Anniebrook

Well, Molly, an teenager would see it that way.

7:23 am

Anniebrook

I just watched Julia and Julie last week (again) and loved it.

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

7:24 am

Mom

the rain has stopped for the time being. I had better scoot to the store. ((hugs)) to all of you

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

take care, mom!

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Bye ((Mom)) buy a lot of goodies.

7:24 am

Mom

thanks, Une. You too!

7:25 am

Mom

((Annie)) I will, I am stocking the kids fridge so they won't have to go to the store when they get home

7:25 am

MollyL

Wow, we all need a Mom like Mom.

7:25 am

Mom

I love doing it

7:25 am

Anniebrook

Mom, you are a great mother in law and, of course, Mom. Molly is right.

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

very cool, mom :-)

7:26 am

MollyL

Can you imagine coming home from a trip and having your fridge all stocked up? : )

7:26 am

Mom

I figure they will have jet lag enough and then having to go back to work

7:26 am

Anniebrook

No, I cannot

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

where's home for them, mom?

7:27 am

Mom

Cincinnati

7:27 am

Mom

They live in an old office building, they have the second floor

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, my brother went again this summer for a ball game -- he's a big fan of Cincy :-)

7:28 am

MollyL

Ooo, I bet that is some interesting living space.

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

sounds like cool digs!!

7:28 am

Mom

I would kill for the closet space

7:28 am

Mom

it is all open with the exception of the bedroom and the bathroom

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

like a loft, eh?

7:29 am

Hi welki :)...how are you feeling?

8:08 am

welki

when i feel good, it's like nothing happened - that's when i have to be careful :) thanks for asking!

8:08 am

Anniebrook

I am hoping that the antibiotics worked and you did not need surgery.

8:09 am

welki

that's exactly what happened - very, very lucky

8:09 am

Anniebrook

I am very happy for you.

8:10 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl :)

8:10 am

welki

i shouldn't complain, that's for sure - but will be a boring week (home from work)

8:11 am

Anniebrook

Better a boring week than 2 boring weeks if you needed surgery

8:12 am

welki

got that right - i have little projects planned (like cleaning out the wardrobe - i learned how stuffed it was when i asked my better half to bring clothes to me and there was an avalanche!)

8:12 am

Anniebrook

LOL, now there's a plan

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Anniebrook

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

8:26 am

welki

8:26 am

rubyfoo

hello again

8:27 am

carleekat

8:27 am

crosshair

Cats cannot taste sugar. They do not have sweet taste buds

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Looks like a cool book.

8:27 am

wvteach

hello ruby

8:27 am

welki

more than halfway through

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, Kat. I remember now, being very worried about your son.

8:27 am

hurshy

yeah i've heard that THEORY - but then why does my one cat love orange peach mango juice?

8:27 am

carleekat

thank god for that crossy..i have dogs that definitely DO taste sugar...cats too would do me in

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Bon jour Ruby, mon ami

8:28 am

welki

(it's a book about one young woman's spiritual journey, scrabbs)

8:28 am

welki

hey, ruby :)

8:28 am

hurshy

i'm wondering if they can develop a taste for sweet if they are thoroughly domesticated

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I will add it to my list

8:28 am

carleekat

that is such a weird experience... cus i am referenced a couple times in there

8:28 am

carleekat

i had a cat that like melon

8:29 am

rubyfoo

I received a little video of a possum eating a strawberry

8:29 am

carleekat

and present for other occasions... ( btw..the author is awaiting delivery of her 4th child any day welki am expecting phone call from grandma any time)

8:29 am

welki

if i saw you in the book, i haven't recognized you (yet) - but once in the book, i forget that you have a personal connection

8:29 am

rubyfoo

the puppy will eat anything I eat but now I've simplified his diet because of his hot spots

8:30 am

car.eeyore

Welki, how are you feeling?

8:30 am

8:33 am

Scrabbler

And my mother is on my phone with us.

8:34 am

rubyfoo

ruby responded to her heart meds and both the vet and I think it's a miracle!

8:34 am

8:34 am

crosshair

carleekat

8:35 am

carleekat

8:35 am

car.eeyore

8:35 am

rubyfoo

8:35 am

Scrabbler

My mother says hello and thanks all of you for well wishes since my father died.

8:36 am

car.eeyore

8:36 am

Anniebrook

ditto, car.

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Great news, Ruby

8:36 am

hego

she's welcome.

8:36 am

crosshair

hi mom!

8:36 am

rubyfoo

<-- wishes she still had a mom to hug

8:36 am

carleekat

my son starts back tomorrow... well...excitment has been dulled..my step mother is in hospital...and its bad...heart ftning @20%, 2 leaking valves....on O2 and being fed intravenously....its very difficult b/c she is why i didnt have a good relationship with my dad...and she has tried to make sure i get nothing from my father's things

8:37 am

Scrabbler

During our weekly Sunday dinner (I take my mother out for a late lunch/early dinner) she didn't cry when speaking of my father. She is still missing him so much but is moving along

8:37 am

rubyfoo

how old is she, scrabs?

8:37 am

car.eeyore

Oh Carlee. I know how difficult that situation has been. you must be so torn now.

8:37 am

rubyfoo

{{carlee}} that is rotten of her

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Aw, Kat, have you visited her? Do your best to honor her as your father would want.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

81, Ruby

8:38 am

carleekat

everyone it turns out in the "family" cant/ couldnt stand her... but i feel compelled to go visit..( even tho seeing me might piss her off so much might kill her)

8:38 am

car.eeyore

I would go once, and then be done.

8:38 am

carleekat

she has been willing herself to die since dad passed...

8:38 am

carleekat

that is the plan

8:39 am

Scrabbler

She wouldn't even want a visit, kat?

8:39 am

carleekat

and I will call her sister after I do

8:39 am

Scrabbler

I wish her peace and comfort

8:39 am

carleekat

well...the woman i stay with when at school..she asked her if she she call "carolyn or belle" ( belle is my mother)..she said NO!

8:39 am

car.eeyore

That is all you can do carlee. You are only human...and so is she. I will pray for peace for all of you.

8:40 am

carleekat

but....i have to live with me...

8:40 am

Anniebrook

this sounds like a soap opera

8:40 am

carleekat

thanks hun... so...i will visit on thurs...the hospital is on campus

8:40 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like you are doing the right thing and won't have regrets later

8:40 am

carleekat

yes annie... it pretty much is...sadly...

8:41 am

hurshy

my husband is dealing with a soap opera right now too

8:41 am

carleekat

lets hope seeing me doesnt kill her...will keep my eyeon the heart monitor...

8:41 am

car.eeyore

There you go. Do what will make your heart be at peace and then you have to let go.

8:41 am

carleekat

soaps suck...am sorry hurshy

8:41 am

car.eeyore

Oh no, Hurshy.

8:42 am

hurshy

he's visiting his sister who just had her last round of chemo. she has 2 kids under 3. but her husband is her major source of stress.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Could you visit her when she is sleeping, kat?

8:42 am

rubyfoo

that is terrible, hurshy

8:42 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, that is awful

8:42 am

carleekat

she is always sleeping scrabs... heart at 20% and not eating real food

8:42 am

car.eeyore

That is horrible.

8:42 am

hurshy

he still fights with her and tells her how she's letting him down. i'd be like, "i'm letting YOU down?? i have CANCER. you're letting ME down!"

8:42 am

Scrabbler

So difficult, hurshy. What type of cancer?

8:43 am

hurshy

she had breast cancer. the tumors were extensive through one breast, which they removed, had a margin of only about 1 mm.

8:43 am

car.eeyore

I will never understand how selfish some people can be...especially in these situations.

8:43 am

rubyfoo

what a jerk! he needs crossy to slap some sense into him!

8:43 am

Scrabbler

SO self-absorbed and cruel, Hurshy!

8:43 am

hurshy

yeah he's very narcissistic

8:43 am

hurshy

the things he says are beyond the pale

8:44 am

rubyfoo

what was her stage?

8:44 am

Scrabbler

He is angry and scared but he shouldn't blame her.

8:44 am

hurshy

i am not sure, i think stage 2/3

8:44 am

hurshy

no scrabbler, he was always like this.

8:44 am

carleekat

men like to fix...when they cant...they tend to lash out ( note word TEND)

8:44 am

hurshy

it's not due to the cancer. when i found out she had cancer i thought maybe he'd step up and be better but he has not.

8:44 am

rubyfoo

how many lymph nodes were affected?

8:44 am

hurshy

i am not sure, ruby.

8:44 am

littlebit

oh! narcissistic people are no fun! my ex is that way!

8:44 am

welki

*armchair quarterback* maybe he thinks that by challenging her, she'll fight harder

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi littlebit

8:45 am

crosshair

that is terrible hursh!! one of my cancers was stage 3 with full courses of chemo,so i know what this woman is feeling.my mrs was my rock.i would of been a disaster during this without her love and support

8:45 am

littlebit

maornign fellow babblers!

8:45 am

rubyfoo

hi little bit

8:45 am

car.eeyore

Hi littlebit!

8:45 am

hurshy

and when he is calling her names and she says i will not discuss this if you're going to be like this, he will physically restrain her so that she can't walk away.

8:45 am

welki

hiya, little

8:45 am

car.eeyore

Oh uh...crossing the line in my book.

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Well, his true colors are shining while facing adversity

8:45 am

rubyfoo

her oncologist needs to talk some sense into him

8:45 am

crosshair

yes

8:46 am

littlebit

hey scrab,car,ruby, welki, crossy!!

8:46 am

Anniebrook

hi little

8:46 am

hego

Hey LB!!

8:46 am

hurshy

my husband is boiling over watching his sister being treated like this and doesn't know what to do. he said something to him last night but his sister has generally basically said it won't do any good

8:46 am

crosshair

howdy lilbit

8:46 am

littlebit

yep sounds a lot like my ex....no fun to live with at all!!

8:46 am

car.eeyore

Maybe...I think the situation may be causing her to fight as she does not want to leave her children just with that man. I hope that when she is feeling better/stronger, maybe she will be able to break away from him.

8:46 am

hurshy

i don't think he'd listen to the oncologist, ruby. he won't listen to ANYONE.

8:46 am

carleekat

hi lilbit

8:46 am

crosshair

i would be tempted to move my sis into my home for the duration of the treatments

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Why did she marry this guy? If she survives I hope she rewards herself with a divorce.

8:47 am

rubyfoo

when she comes through this, she should kick him out!

8:47 am

rubyfoo

snap, scrabs!

8:47 am

hurshy

she married him because she was getting on in years and she really wanted kids, basically.

8:47 am

littlebit

she's right i'm afraid, it does no good at all. theyare right and everyone else is wrong

8:47 am

carleekat

hubby should knock some sense into his head...this is baby sister

8:47 am

hurshy

i wish she'd gone with a sperm donor instead.

8:47 am

hurshy

it's actually not baby sister, older sister, but still, yes :)

8:47 am

crosshair

i would bring her to my home while she is under treatments

8:47 am

car.eeyore

8:48 am

hurshy

well you know, they live on the other side of the country, so that's not really feasible, unfortunately

8:48 am

rubyfoo

do you have room for her and the children?

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

because they are always so charming in the beginning. that's how they reel them in. it is a control tactic.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am sure she is fighting for her kids most of all.

8:48 am

Anniebrook

Your brother in law sounds like my ex husband. He was I, I, I. She should get rid of him as soon as she can.

8:48 am

carleekat

is he physically bigger than his sister?..if so..she is STILL baby sister

8:48 am

littlebit

those people are really good at hiding what they are really like at first, they can only keep it up for so long though

8:49 am

PastorJ

hurshy, she should seek professional help, maybe the hospital social worker. he's dangerous. restraining her from walking away is a huge red flag.

8:49 am

carleekat

i WAS surrounded by them....my step mother will be the last of them out of my life

8:49 am

littlebit

she def needs to get rid of him!!!

8:49 am

72 Temple Owl

annie we might be able to fill a room with exes like that in babble, sadly

8:49 am

Scrabbler

It reminds me of working with Dr Richard Head. Narcissistic personality disorder--sociopathy..

8:49 am

hurshy

there are lots of solutions i would think, if she would decide to leave, but so far she is not willing to do that.

8:49 am

rubyfoo

I'll donate one!

8:49 am

littlebit

mine walked out while going through my cancer

8:49 am

car.eeyore

I will be praying for her, Hurshy.

8:50 am

hurshy

thank you car

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

that is awful, lil

8:50 am

car.eeyore

I am sorry to hear that LB...but may I ask a bold question?

8:50 am

rubyfoo

I am very lucky in many ways, among them that Burt married me AFTER I had cancer

8:50 am

Scrabbler

littlebit, is he still gone? Are you better off for it?

8:50 am

littlebit

sure car

8:50 am

carleekat

i was just starting to ask what scrabs asked

8:51 am

littlebit

yes he's still gone and much better off without him!!!

8:51 am

car.eeyore

Once he was gone, were you able to concentrate on yourself fully and find that it was easier than dealing with his crap too?

8:51 am

carleekat

there you go littlebit...

8:51 am

hurshy

i think if i had cancer and my husband treated me like that i'd RATHER he left

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Yay littlebit! Cancer survivor and ex-wife to idiot.

8:51 am

littlebit

yep!!

8:51 am

rubyfoo

many cancer survivors in here!

8:52 am

car.eeyore

I just wondered...facing cancer is so tough, but with a broken heart on top of it...I can only imagine. But I think it would almost be a relief if your partner wasn't supporting you that they left and then you could just give yourself what you needed and not expel any extra energy on their crap.

8:52 am

crosshair

yours walked out lilbit???

8:52 am

crosshair

my god

8:53 am

littlebit

he still tries to hassle me sometimes though! it's crazy! walks out but still wants to bug me! lives 1/2 way across the states from me, still texts and emails cause i won't answer the phone!! i send everything to my lawyer and he deals with it!!

8:53 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, as hard as it is...your s-i-l should concentrate on getting well and try to ignore that idiot. She should definitely let someone (social worker, police if he restrains her again) know what is going on. What a disgusting man.

8:53 am

littlebit

yes he did cross!

8:53 am

Scrabbler

"..in sickness and in health..."

8:53 am

hurshy

my husband had a cancer too, 2 years ago but it was about as mild as it gets. he just had his annual check up scans and was supposed to get the results the week before last, and then his doctor moved his appointment to oct 19! argh.

8:53 am

littlebit

even took me home from the hospital knowing i had a blockage and needed surgery, left me on the couch and walked!!

8:53 am

crosshair

yes,when going through cancer,you cannot worry about crap like that.best let it walk out of your life

8:54 am

carleekat

not to mention love HONOUR and CHERISH

8:54 am

I totally agree with Annie.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, results can be discussed over the phone. Your husband should not have to wait. Results need to be communicated promptly!

8:54 am

Anniebrook

My G-d, little, how could he do that? What an evil man

8:55 am

hurshy

well sc, my understanding is that they won't tell you results over the phone because they don't want to tell bad news on the phone and they also don't want you to know, if they won't tell me on the phone that means it's bad news, so they won't tell any news other than face to face

8:55 am

littlebit

he is, but that's only part of the story! much much better off without him around!!!

8:55 am

rubyfoo

my husband was squeamish about the whole thing but threw a lot of money at the situation, so even when he wasn't with me, I always had a private nurse

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Hahahaha, welki! I have never seen a wheel like that. I have seen 2 hamsters trying to use a wheel at the same time--I had many hamsters in the past.

8:56 am

littlebit

that is funny welki!!

8:57 am

Scrabbler

But Hurshy, results should be given in a TIMELY manner. Does the doc know that the appt is Oct 19? If there is bad news there should not be a delay in treatment.

8:57 am

rubyfoo

time to cook. bye everybody {{big group hug}}

8:57 am

wvteach

bye ruby

8:58 am

hurshy

i would think he knows, but i don't know. we're just kind of relying on the fact that the original prognosis was that it was unlikely to ever recur.

8:58 am

littlebit

see ya ruby!

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

bye ruby

8:58 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye teach

8:59 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, maybe his staff made an error in delaying his results.

8:59 am

rubyfoo

I hate to leave......

8:59 am

Anniebrook

I would def. call and discuss this with his staff and the doctor too, if possible

8:59 am

Anniebrook

bye, happy ruby, cooking something good and yummy?

8:59 am

littlebit

hursh, that seems like a long time to wait...i think i'd have to try to make it sooner or tell them to tell me over the phone...something

9:00 am

hurshy

well my husband probably won't, and i don't think i can on his behalf

9:00 am

hurshy

but if the doctor DOESN'T know, perhaps it can be discussed at the appointment so it doesn't happen again

9:00 am

Anniebrook

but why wait so long....it's only a phone call.

9:00 am

car.eeyore

OK...peeing myself laughing! Called DH and Mom in to see it too!

9:01 am

periwinkle

I agree with everyone else, hursh. way too long to wait

9:01 am

hurshy

my husband doesn't like to make waves

9:01 am

Atalante

*is giggling at the silly hamsters*

9:01 am

periwinkle

HI, ATA!!

9:01 am

hurshy

ataLANTE! my goodness you've deigned to visit babbleland!

9:01 am

Atalante

hi :)

9:01 am

littlebit

well, maybe you can make a ripple on his behalf?

9:01 am

Dorens

ata!? and hello everyone else

9:02 am

Scrabbler

But he must act on the behalf of his health. Patients must be self-advocates.

9:02 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, he is not making waves, it's a phone call to try and change an appointment.

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Atalante. Hello Her Smugness!

9:02 am

Atalante

and Hurshy, make waves. No-one else will. Sometimes you need to pester and pester and keep phoning up

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Dorens

9:09 am

hurshy

9:10 am

car.eeyore

The fact that they keep on it...duh! Makes me howl!

9:10 am

Atalante

hamsters survive anything

9:10 am

Dorens

hamsters certainly have different internal systems

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Except cancer. They are so inbred that they are tumor factories, as my vet told me.

9:11 am

carleekat

i had a dystrophic hamster

9:12 am

Scrabbler

What happened?

9:12 am

crosshair

9:13 am

Mr Bob

Morning all

9:13 am

carleekat

the gene for dystrophy is apparently adjacent to the gene for white...( as in muscular dystrophy )...i got from the lab... when i worked at the research lab in university...

9:13 am

Scrabbler

I loved having hamsters as pets but I stopped several years ago because I was tired of them dying. My pet cemetery has at least 2 dozen hamsters.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Tucker had the abscess, Ata. He is back to himself and the abscess is almost healed up. I gave up trying to get the antibiotic pills into him. He was stressed and fighting and spitting out the pills. I will restart if the infection does not resolve soon.

9:15 am

oggy

9:15 am

car.eeyore

9:16 am

Scrabbler

9:16 am

Dorens

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Sebastian died 15 mo ago and I miss him very much. He was my 2 pound Netherland Dwarf.

9:16 am

car.eeyore

many bags in one box would be considered a ca 4 of cheetos

9:17 am

Atalante

oh even more sorry! Since Hobbit went, my brain and memory is a complete mess

9:17 am

car.eeyore

OK...my tummy hurts too much...I can't sit here any more. I wish you all a wonderful day! {{hugs}]

9:17 am

Scrabbler

I cannot imagine eating a whole ca4 of Cheetos, that is why I didn't think of that word

9:22 am

crosshair

it does take time.my mum passed in 1991 and it it was haprp and painful at first,then dull and deep and ongoing like a old rotten tooth,but eventually,after a while your mind highlights the good times,the laughs and erases the bad times and the grief,then it becomes a joy to think of them and through you they become immortal:)

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Go Amelu go!

9:23 am

Ahhh, we don't have a choice...they won't pay us the time and 1/2...

we actually don't have holidays. we have paid time off which we use for anything, including minor illness or sick days. i'm "saving" mine for later.

harpjane

I just went full time, and my current leave time is not enough to take all those hours off. It was part of the agreement when I went full time though.

10:03 am

harpjane

(that I would get to take leave without pay if needed for a few months)

10:04 am

harpjane

I like that system a lot. It's especially nice for someone (like me) who does not get sick often, and never has to take time off for sick kids, etc.

10:05 am

harpjane

now it i can just get 8 more c's i'll get in the shower.

10:06 am

We sort of have that, all pooled together, but if you actually work the holiday, you get time & 1/2

Hello

3:52 pm

it's interesting, there's been more coverage of your presidential campaign in the UK these last few weeks than there has been of our national politics... we've all been floating on the Olympics cloud...

3:52 pm

MollyL

Hi Annie

3:53 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Molly

3:53 pm

MollyL

I get such a kick out of people in other countries spouting off about American politics.

3:54 pm

MollyL

I guess that is why Sherb. Press in other countries is more interested in American politics than they are in their own.

3:55 pm

rururocks

yes Sherb.. Obama is running against a moron.. er I mean Mormon

3:56 pm

sherb

the media on the UK seem to enjoy the trips to the US to cover the campaign...

4:15 pm

sherb

...googling 'beer butt chicken'... ah...

4:15 pm

rururocks

4:16 pm

sherb

4:16 pm

jwr

cute sherb

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

well beer gut chicken may come from too much beer butt chicken...
