2:43 am
westford

no kidding
2:44 am
westford

too much red tape
2:44 am
grannyrose

so true, westy. we have 2 major worker groups up in arms at the moment. the teachers, because they didn't get their pay rise as promised, and builders, because, their union wants to be the ones who elect the work-site union rep, not the workers.
2:45 am
westford

unions were a good idea until greed got in the way...Bob Dylan
2:45 am
grannyrose

and, currently, the private nurses sector, trying to negotiate their new enterprise bargaining agreement.
2:47 am
westford

no one wants to sacrifice for the greater good
2:47 am
grannyrose

the public nurses sector have their EBA, as fought by our union, but the private nurses are being dumped by the union. we pay the same fees and dues to the union...
2:48 am

not fair

BabbleRabble

"Personally, I'm in favor of democracy, which means that the central institutions of society have to be under popular control. Now, under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be establishedat every level--there's little bargaining, a little give and take,but the line of authority is perfectly straightforward. Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I'm opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy." ~Noam Chomsky
2:49 am
westford

we are lucky to live in countries that give us a choice though
2:49 am

try telling that to the union...we are having a meeting with our union tomorrow...hope the rep is up to the opposition he/she is going to face.

ok, I will substitute: Here comes Crossy's tidbit of the day, brought to you by proxy sprite:

"We all imagine pupils to be round – as they are the type we see most often (on humans) – but goats (and most other animals with hooves) have horizontal slits which are nearly rectangular when dilated. This gives goats vision covering 320 – 340 degrees; this means they can see virtually all around them without having to move (humans have vision covering 160 – 210 degrees). Consequently, animals with rectangular eyes can see better at night due to having larger pupils that can be closed more tightly during the day to restrict light. Interestingly, octopuses also have rectangular pupils."

sprite

(but most octopuses don't have hooves)

well hursh, I hope that made you happy. Fireflies for me, which makes me happy. Bye all!

*Wonders how much cooking wine you need to have had before you hear your cake sing*
12:15 pm
Haz1558

At least they've given full instructions for the creme caramels. And I've seen what can go wrong, so that should help.
12:19 pm
Haz1558

It's not so much singing as slightly hissing. But it's true, it means that there's still too much moisture left.
12:19 pm
Atalante

oh yes the singing! I've never heard that before
12:20 pm
Haz1558

And I didn't know that you shouldn't use a non-stick pan to make the caramel because it will crystallise. The pitfalls of baking!
12:21 pm
hego

nobody tells you this stuff.
12:22 pm
Atalante

I do like it that the bakers can actually surprise Mary with flavours or flours
12:22 pm
Haz1558

We should export the programme to you in the States. It's far better than Downton.
12:22 pm
Haz1558

The suspense of wondering if the cakes will rise or the meringues stay crisp.
12:22 pm
hego

We will have it sooner or later.
12:23 pm
Haz1558

Will pepper in pastry be a hit or a miss? (It was a miss)
12:23 pm
hego

Haz likes to live on the edge.
12:23 pm
Haz1558

You have no idea, hego.
12:23 pm
Atalante

pink pepper at that
12:23 pm
hego

such excitement!
12:24 pm
Haz1558

Anyway, here comes the husband. I'd better feed him before he faints dead away. It's been three hours since he last ate.
12:24 pm
Haz1558

Toodle-oo for now!
12:24 pm

Bye!

1:46 pm

tomorrow is my first day
1:46 pm

but for my determination not to quit i would quit
1:46 pm
jmcnrick

sleeping bag?
1:47 pm
carleekat

well...if I get stuck a: in snowmagedden..is warm... and 2 if am stuck on campus I have something to sleep in ..in residence
1:47 pm
jmcnrick

thank heavens it is only one class this semester so i drive 150 miles. . .go to class. . .drive 150 miles
1:47 pm
carleekat

ugh...3 hour drive each way????
1:47 pm
jmcnrick

seems early for snowmagedden even for canada
1:48 pm
carleekat

at least am 65 miles 1 way...but is 4 days a week i make that drive each way
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

*giggle* not the way i drive
1:48 pm
carleekat

it is early...but we have been known to be caught off guard the first week of oct... and if I get too busy...wellllll
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

mostly a super highway at 80 mph more or less legally
1:49 pm
jmcnrick

i am glad i get to come home each thursday rather than staying down there like i did last year
1:49 pm
carleekat

( I am hoping that by being incredibly prepared.... snowmageddon wont happen...) and not for cdns... if limit is 60, 65, 70...with cdn plate..u better be doing that...else we get pulled over BIG time
1:50 pm
jmcnrick

ah we get a 10 mph free zone. . .if you are 11 mph over you may get stopped
1:50 pm
carleekat

people in MI are even targetting cdn plates....get caught up in traffic... they pull ahead.....and when can..purposely back into you....since of course...in another country...well " just pay me cash now and we will forget about it"
1:51 pm
jmcnrick

really? what jerks . . . I never do that I insist we call the cops. . . it has always worked for me
1:51 pm
carleekat

AND... we were the target of HUGE road rage ( for what I did..no idea... cus i was just cruising in my lane ( right lane) going speed limit ( 65)..and some chick pulled in front..and SLOWED down.... i thought at first..something wrong...
1:52 pm
jmcnrick

some guy tried that with my boy thinking he was 17 (he was 24) and ended up really regretting it. . .even tried the "i'm friends with the local cops" card.
1:52 pm
carleekat

5 mi later..clearly not something wrong..so pulled to middle lane...passed her..she started railing at me... then for next 35 mi....was bob and weave...every time she managed topull in front of me...she slammed on brakes
1:53 pm
jmcnrick

wow! that is a scary story. . .I would find a peopled rest stop or mcdonalds and let her go. . .
1:53 pm
carleekat

other cars were even taking pics of her....i finally nipped in behind a limited transport....stuck to him like glue and she had no choice but to carry on...
1:53 pm
jmcnrick

good strategy
1:53 pm
carleekat

there...wasnt.... was insane ( and..she had 3 little old ladies in hte car with her)
1:54 pm
jmcnrick

what's a limited transport?
1:54 pm
jmcnrick

they were probably all white with fear!
1:55 pm
carleekat

18 wheeler... usually limited to 55...your upper speed limit is 60, 65, 70 whatever...but your lower is 55..and the transports are limited..that unable to drive much faster....and the computer on board will show their company what they drove
1:55 pm
jmcnrick

ah i c
1:55 pm
carleekat

the truck has a speed limiter on board... making the truck unable to go faster than 55...
1:56 pm
jmcnrick

that sounds dangerous. . .sometimes you need to excellarate to get out of a situation
1:56 pm
carleekat

on this was all happening just outside of detroit... around 10 mi was where it started... insane... chick was crazier than bat shit
1:56 pm
carleekat

jmcnrick

I ha4/8 just one word left so here is a story of clues.The Democratic Convention ai4/4 tonight. I live in an ar4/4 that has mostly Democratic. I am sure that most will be watching where I live. I refuse to wav4/7 in my decision to vote for Obama,although husband is trying to change my vote. I cover my ea4/4 every time he talks about his support for Romney. He is sure Romney will get elected. I tell him, ha4/6!That'll happen when hell freezes over! However, if that DOES happen I will pull out my ha 4/5. If Obama wins, I will yell, "Hu6/27!" My na 4/4 was the one who taught me about politics & voting. She always ra 4/7d about the Democratic party.Even though hubby supports Romney, I believe in the end he will ha5/18 on who to vote for once he is in the voting booth.Now I am going to get off my re 4/4 and go watch TV. I am going to go watch the movie An 4/4 and the King. I'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully the grid si 4/9 will be small again.

Go Stid!!!! oh yeah {{{{STIDMAMMAAAAAAA}}}}}
8:56 pm
stidmama

I decided that I wasn't going to watch any professional sports again recently. So I have even more time to babble and surf the web now. *grumble* I am just so tired of the cheating, the crooked referees and the petty accusations when people aren't happy with results
8:56 pm
JBsAnno

Stiddy, take a look at the Targus versavue case with a bluetooth keyboard. I got it on the same day I got the ipad and have never looked back. Never used my netbook again, either.
8:57 pm

Yeah, that's all considered part of the fun here, LOL!

Stid, about the keyboard, make sure you try it out, because some of the keys are in a different place that make my chog posts a lot shorter than I intend! I keep hitting the enter key when I need the shift key...
9:04 pm
MollyL

I had mono as an adult. It sucks. The fatigue is overwhelming.

I have those in the pantry. I am planing on making toll house cookies minus the chocolate in them and putting a hearsy caramel kiss on top when the dough is nearly done and then melting it. No idea if this will work or not. I plan on doing it with two cookies at different stages of cooking. If it doesn't work then I will put the chips in it

9:35 pm
mcurlschool

Amen to that stid. I have 5 stints outside per day!
9:35 pm
herinfernallady

Breath. The point is I am experimenting. I plan on making the dough minis the chocolate pieces. Then as they are about to be done cooking put a hersy carmel kiss on top and melt the kiss. Like a thumb cookie.
9:36 pm
dcseain

congrats, onyx
9:36 pm
herinfernallady

I don't want to make a batch of cookies with chocolate in them first if they totally fail on the first idea
9:36 pm
herinfernallady

Yah Onex
9:37 pm
dcseain

huh. ra5 is a ship which has had its height reduced by one or more decks.
9:37 pm
herinfernallady

So the finial cookie will have a top of melted Hersy carmel kiss if it works as I plan.
9:38 pm
JBsAnno

How could any cookie be a BAD cookie, herin?
though I do admit, I fooled the DH the other day, what he thought were choc chip cookies turned out to be oatmeal raisin. There is a reason for labels and pictures on the package, after all, right?
9:38 pm
herinfernallady

There will be no unloved chocolate.
9:38 pm
GreyWoulf

the only bad cookie is a burnt cookie
9:38 pm
JBsAnno

Hear hear, herein!
9:38 pm
JBsAnno

Hear hear, Woulf!
9:39 pm
dcseain

pizzelle with anise in them are bad -- i'm allergic to anise. So, there's a bad cookie, at least in my world.
9:39 pm
herinfernallady

JB if the thumb print kiss idea doesn't work it will be a tasty melted fail. I will just add the chips to the dough and away I go.
9:39 pm
GreyWoulf

oatmeal rasin with some choc chips mixed in can be very nice
9:39 pm
herinfernallady

Grey top bad burnt cookie with burnt Naan bread . We labled that Naan Cookie in our house

Tasty melted fail - now THAT'S a great band name!

tasty melted fail can be quite lovely to eat, as well as a band name.

dcseain

i can't have anise, fennel, caraway, nor licorice, nor spent much time around them. More for the rest of yall :)
9:42 pm

DC they can be gluten free. You just have to find the oats that haven't been processed with wheat. As the oats here were $1.25 a bag and I am not intolerant I didn't care

10:10 pm
Minveryork

Hello GreyWoulf! How are you? Haven't seen you in awhile.
10:10 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations GreyWoulf on your fireworks!Good for you
10:10 pm
GreyWoulf

I was locked into World of Warcraft for awhile, but my interest in that has waned as well. So I have been basically nesting whenever I am online
10:11 pm
BabbleRabble

Hello, herin
10:12 pm
GreyWoulf

I have determined that I need to shake out of it, though and though I have said it before, I am going to make a more concerted effort to get back into the chog -- I do miss my interaction with everyone
10:12 pm
stidmama

Sorry you are burning yourself out, I am also pulling away a bit from online games and usually lurk when I babble -- Grant is teaching me how to play a shooter game on his video system. I am pretty good considering I am middle-aged, have philosophical aversion to guns and haven't played shooter games before.
10:12 pm
herinfernallady

Grey I have been playing too much skyrim
10:13 pm
stidmama

I have other friends who play World of Warcraft. They say it's quite addicting.
10:13 pm
stidmama

Grant plays skyrim, it's too freeform for me just now.
10:13 pm
herinfernallady

I like it because of the variants.
10:13 pm
GreyWoulf

herin -- I still have to finish Morrowind before I consider Skyrim :)
My biggest problem is having to share the computer with the family these days -- my wife has become quite the Facebook presence and the kids insist on their turns as well
10:14 pm
stidmama

I get frustrated because my figners don't yet automatically know which way to move the stick or which buttons to push. It's a lot more complicated than the wii games we have.
10:14 pm
stidmama

ah yes, your kiddos must be getting pretty big now, yes? Grant is 6 feet tall, you know, and so independent now. I felt very glad to spend a lot of time with him this summer.
10:15 pm
GreyWoulf

What I find most annoying, stid, is when I leave a game like that for awhile and have to relearn what all the buttons do
10:15 pm
herinfernallady

This is why we have our own pcs
10:15 pm
stidmama

yes -- and since I am not a "gamer" I can stay away for weeks at a time. Which, of course, doesn't help my "enjoyment" level! LOL
10:17 pm
herinfernallady

Have you seen a clip from Roseanne about Jackies internet addiction? That is so me
10:17 pm
GreyWoulf

the kids are definitely growing -- Seb is now in 1st grade, Kristianna in 4th, and both are loving it... though they are still adapting to getting up at 6 am to get ready for school -- I drop them off at a before school program at 7 on my way into work
10:18 pm
GreyWoulf

herin -- re: individual pc's -- I just got my own laptop, but now i have to install my games onto it
10:18 pm
stidmama

yes, it was a real shock to Grant today to be up before noon... LOL first day back and all. And they moved the high school day to 15 minutes earlier than before. So once zero hour starts in a couple weeks... *sigh* it's rough to be a teen
10:18 pm
herinfernallady

Cost is a real pain here for high end laptops
10:19 pm
stidmama

anyway, I should probably get myself slowed down so I can sleep. Sub services call as early as 5 sometimes, and though I hope to NOT be called tomorrow, I sure wouldn't want to turn it down. Back again someday, I hope. ***hugs for babble family*** see you-all soon! *poof*
10:20 pm
GreyWoulf

I got lucky -- I don't have a true high end, but it seems to be a decent high midrange -- I was able to get it on sale and my friend who know computers better than me say I did pretty good... of course I wouldn't have been able to get it without my bonus from work
10:21 pm
GreyWoulf

{{stid}} -- g'nite -- see you soon
10:23 pm
GreyWoulf

I also have to admit that discovering Kickstarter back in Feb has also helped to eat my time -- I have helped to fund several interesting (to me at least) roleplaying game projects... I just hope they end up at least half as good as they sounded when I pledged my money
10:24 pm
herinfernallady

Night Stid.

Grey I cheat and use a HD tv for added gaming awesome.
10:24 pm
herinfernallady

Are you interested in the Fallout Series?
10:26 pm
GreyWoulf

interested, yes -- have the time to play it, no
I also have to find games that the kids can also play -- so I have a PS3 and we play a lot of the various Lego titles
10:26 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

nothin yet...

When can I find out what the answers to the puzzle? I did pretty well this time but I still want to know the wacky words I missed.

10:48 pm
Jillyjill

10:48 pm
Jillyjill

oh, should be princess d****
10:49 pm
herinfernallady

Marais a word list should be generated in 24 -48 hours after completion. Go to Archives then select the date. There should be a word list
10:50 pm
Marais

Thank you.
10:50 pm
herinfernallady

Also if you wanted to know now you can go to the bottom of this page and bring up Lickety's list which has the first 2 tiles listed for words
10:51 pm
Jillyjill

Sorry marais, eating popcorn and trying to clue one handed...
10:51 pm
herinfernallady

When you click on Archives then the date of the puzzle you want there will be blue writing that says 'View word list' click on that for the list
10:51 pm
Marais

I've been using Lickety's list but I think Babble cheated this time and made up words ;)
10:52 pm
herinfernallady

Yes that is called Enable the offical scramble dictionary that always makes up words
10:52 pm
Minveryork

I'm done! I finally have fireworks! hi6/24 was my last word

Help! can't find the hi6 even with jilly's clue.
10:57 pm
Minveryork

hi 6/24 word means to go on a break (especially tv shows).
10:57 pm
Nef

I wish my DH would think about using a vacuum sometimes.... even a Roomba (which we have!) would be helpful
10:57 pm
Minveryork

*hi 6/27
10:57 pm

*OOPS! That is the the hi 6/24 word
10:58 pm

10:59 pm

There is only ONE hi6 word in grid. Other is hi 7/32 Roses6.
11:00 pm
Roses6

Jilly clued it at 10:28 but I couldn't undertand it with the clue.
11:00 pm
Minveryork

OOPS!It's an ha 7/32 word. Okay, I really need to goto bed
11:00 pm
Minveryork

I keep messing up!
11:00 pm
Nef

me either; but I'm tired so nothing I tried made sense
11:00 pm
Jillyjill

there is only one 6 and one 7 hi words...
11:01 pm
Minveryork

ha 7/32 word is ha plus Princess D****, replace D with hook
11:01 pm
Jillyjill

the 7 is ha+*oses6+princess d****

the tiredness, tor? or the getting older? ;-)

ta4-5 please.....thanks

Jillyjill

ta+double consonant, then pl for the 5
11:13 pm

ta + human resources + pl.
11:13 pm
Jillyjill

and by double consonant, I mean not matching and not single hump letter
11:13 pm
Nef

I did, Jilly. But I went to a Board of Nursing meeting and found I really missed nursing and networking with other nurses; so right about that time my old Exec. Director asked if I'd come back "for 6-8 hours a month" while we expand and move part of the Center to another building.
11:13 pm
torgone

The tiredness, Nef .. The other is a constant ..
11:14 pm

Thanks much, Jilly and tor.

They always say we can't retire...I don't know if I'll ever afford to test that theory ;P

Jillyjill, I am unable to get the blankety-blank letters together for hi6-24. It is the last one for this grid. Will you dumb it down please.....thannks
11:20 pm
Nef

Such a draft? What do you mean? I was in the same unit in CV-ICU for 28 years, CCRN for 25 years, and top of my pay scale too when I was injured
11:21 pm
Jillyjill

Ga...working on it
11:21 pm

hi + past tense of eat (-last letter) + you and me, ga
11:22 pm

Thanks so much, Nef and Jillyjill.
11:24 pm

fw
11:24 pm
Nef

LOL! I often wonder why the su 4/5s feel that way. After all; the reason people need to be in hospitals is they need NURSING care
11:24 pm
Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT ga!!
11:24 pm
Nef

YAY, GA!!!! WTG!!!!
11:25 pm
Jillyjill

The problem is that there isn't a charge they can bill patients for on nursing care...
11:25 pm
torgone

Yay peach!
11:26 pm
Jillyjill

I got a memo telling me that my department hours are up from budgeted (I don't do budget) Budget was based upon 2010 hours which was before we went EHR....we will never be as efficient as when we were on paper...
11:26 pm
Nef

yeah, "nursing" is not a charge. They charge$500-$1000+ for a "Bed" but we (nurses) aren't listed on thebill
11:27 pm
Nef

really? then you must have a bad EMR system
11:29 pm
Jillyjill

We use Cerner, it's not bad but everyone hinges on it...our meds, supplies and documentation...everything! It takes 45 min to an hour longer to do each patient.
11:29 pm
kje

I bet we'd have better nurse-patient ratios if the hospital could charge for nursing time
11:31 pm
Jillyjill

We used to watch the waste at the end of a case, then come back later and sign. Now to waste, two nurses: one logs in, picks patient, then picks "waste" then second nurse logs in, then amount entered, then "done" then you start all over again. Most patients have two wastes each case...
11:31 pm
Nef

We use Excellion or EPIC (can't remember which is the trade name); most of the hospitals and clinics around here are also on or converting to it. It's really smooth once you learn it
11:33 pm
cosdem

<---on cloud 9. Hello all
11:33 pm
Jillyjill

The better part ofo my day is spent logging on, and 'click, click, click....." It really is cumbersome. It's also an intranet program, so whenever they have a new client come on board...things go wonky
11:33 pm
Nef

Do they each have to sign out afterwards every time?
11:34 pm
Jillyjill

No, nef, just in. And all our supplies have to be scanned in individually, before we just marked a box...
11:34 pm
Nef

Or does it automatically sign you out with each page change?
11:34 pm
Nef

oh dear.
11:35 pm
Nef

Hi cos... What's up?
11:35 pm
cosdem

ah just had a good night watchin tv :) how u doing Nef
11:35 pm
Jillyjill

So basically, that's an average of 4 hours/day for nursing hours...
11:35 pm
Nef

tired, cos. I should be in bed (and asleep) now
11:35 pm
Jillyjill

Well, must toddle off to bed...another day awaits...bye all....
11:36 pm
Jillyjill

Hi cos...enjoyed your FB post!!
11:36 pm
kje

I think of cerner more as an organizational and mgmt system than true emr. Are all Of you (nurses, pharm, docs, therapists, everyone) writing notes and placing all orders in cerner?
11:36 pm

11:38 pm

kje, Excellion (or EPIC) everyone charts and orders through it. It really is patient-centered
11:39 pm

Yes, I've used epic, meditech, cprs (VA). So far my Dave is meditech

11:46 pm
Jillyjill

Well KJE, I always thought that, but we are at top speed now, the three of us pretty good with computers to begin with, but we are still left with it taking 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour longer, we've been on it for 1.5 years now
11:47 pm
Jillyjill

that's longer per patient. We were extremely efficient on paper...
11:48 pm
Jillyjill

I'm not dissing the EMR, just we will never be as efficient and I am damn tired of the su4/5's thinking we should be
11:49 pm
kje

Jilly - I dropped out of typing class in HS. HATED it. Decided then I would never become a secretary. Finish med school and the whole medical world moves to typing....I've gotten pretty fast with a couple fingers each hand!
11:51 pm
kje

Is it just emr efficiency, or have they added a lotof documentation requirements? Seems like nurses have to document more and more and there is a lot of duplication between professionals which just wastes time.
11:51 pm
Jillyjill

LOL...I thankfully excelled in typing class, and wss blessed to have taken a job in '82 for the Air Force where I cut my computer teeth...
11:52 pm
Jillyjill

Oh, and our MD's here are ready to revolt. They actually put on extra MD's in ER and hospitalists due to the system's documentation...
11:53 pm
Jillyjill

And you have to remember way too much...there is only one part of the program that cues you you missed something. For instance, I can document I gave an IVP drug before I even entered that I started the IV, and the same is true at DC
11:54 pm
Jillyjill

I had worked on a program in Home Health 5 year ago, and it cued you on everything.
11:55 pm
kje

That just sounds like a crappy system
11:56 pm
Jillyjill

Oh well have to be up in 6 hours and do it again...must really get to bed, but I am not a particular fan of Cerner, and our training and support from company was crap! Learn by doing, not that we were ever adequatly trained...but must *poof*
