2:16 am
flosey

glad to hear it rose,
2:17 am
grannyrose

it's not my surgeon who is holding up the works...it's the D.O.N. she keeps blabbering on about duty of care as this is supposed to be a non-work related injury.
2:17 am
flosey

I may have been told that, losing memory as I age
2:19 am
flosey

also do Lumosity program, it's good for memory and cognitive issues
2:19 am
grannyrose

unfortunately for her, my surgeon, who is the medical director, is in quite agreeance with how my fractured ankle, subsequent weight gain, and the accelerated degeneration of my knee are all tied together.
2:20 am
grannyrose

so if she doesn't agree to a graduated return to work program, she is going to cost the company mega bucks.
2:22 am
flosey

wow, are you anxious to get back? or is this a much appreciated relief
2:22 am

Today I was at the American Consulate to renew my passport. They use to be able to do it here for you but now they have to send it to the states to be done so it takes a couple of weeks to get it.
3:31 am

More bureaucratic nonsense.

You also use to be able to keep your old passport but now you must surrender your old one to get the new one.

Diane, since Hong Kong has a lot of self-governance ... do you need your passport to go from Hong Kong to the mainland?

HongKong must be so incredibly huge.
3:54 am

locals don't need a passport. Americans need a passport and a China visa (which is expensive) to go to the mainland.

let's try again - until the new one arrives. But you are right in a sense because I would not spent the money for a single journey visa. I'll wait for the new passport and get a year long visa.

now amia, you need to find enable dictionary, down load it, and you're on your way. mind you, if BR is here, who needs enable? LOL
4:00 am

Amia, Babble will probably have some words you never heard of, because it uses a rather old version of the Enable dictionary. Quite interesting, grin.

Amia, I will tell you what Atalanta told me when I started: Looking up the actual words with a solver is cheating. All the rest is research.

it has a lot of scottish words, so if you ave read sir walter scott's rob roy, you will probably know half the enable words.

4:06 am

people have developed all kind of personal rules, Amia. Some don't use clues, others try to get a word for every tile and/or for every word length in as few as possible words, some play till halfway or 3/4 before using clues. I always think that as long as your fun does not ruin that of others, everything that makes it fun for you is cool.
4:06 am

Coercion. Ok. I am certainly guilty of that, so I can live with that ;)

8 years are not to be sneezed at, amia. a lot has been shared by you both. i'm so sorry you have to go through this. grief is exactly what you are going through, my dear. cry as much as you want. it is not just your relationship which is gone, but the future you had envisaged sharing together has also gone.

4:51 am
Amiamirande

That is how I feel Rose, good way of putting it. And I do feel the dreams are gone, mainly the dream of children too because our ages were so...important, for lack of a better word. I just don't want to wallow in self-pity and be such a pathetic crier. This has been going on for me now for 2 weeks. I can't sleep in the same bed because I unconsciously snuggle in my sleep. I still call him Sweetie totally unconsciously. In 8 years I practically never said his name. He seems to be doing so much better than me with this.

letting your grief out is not wallowing in self-pity, Amia. Two weeks is nothing. If you can grief now, and allow yourself to feel what you feel, it will really help pyou later on.

stress can cause itchy hives and sweating

not directly, but indirectly it can. If you have dormant allergies, or preconditions, stress can bring them out in the open.

all I can say, dear Ruby, is to stand up for yourself. Remember he is dependent on you and the damage he has suffered in life makes him into someone who hates to be dependent, who fears it even... he is being nasty to you because of it, and he does not have that right. Letting him get away with it won't do any good... you know it is so. *hug*

What is the world’s longest canyon?
If you are about to say ‘Grand Canyon‘ then you are correct…kinda. You have the right name…almost, but more than likely, the wrong country.

What is the world’s deepest canyon?
You might think it is Peru’s Colca Canyon. Em, that answer is correct before 1994, but now?

At first, I am intending to make a post about the canyons around the world. However after my research, I decided to talk about only one canyon instead, which is claimed as the longest as well as the deepest canyon in the world (So I just called it the largest canyon in the world). It is “The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon” from China.

It is 496.3 kilometers long, 56.3 kilometers longer than the Colorado Grand Canyon, previously considered the world’s longest.
And it is 5,382 meters deep, much deeper than the 3,200 meters of Peru’s Colca Canyon, previously known as the world’s deepest canyon.

The canyon is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and around the highest peak of east Himalayas-Namjiagbarwa peak (7,787 meters above sea level), forming a huge horseshoe-shaped turn.

Valles Marineris (Latin for Mariner Valleys, named after the Mariner 9 Mars orbiter of 1971–72 which discovered it) is a system of canyons that runs along the Martian surface east of the Tharsis region. At more than 4,000 km long, 200 km wide and up to 7 km deep,[1][2] the Valles Marineris rift system is one of the larger canyons of the Solar System, surpassed only by the rift valleys of Earth and (in length only) by Baltis Vallis on Venus.

I like windows/dos better than apple os for mucking about, but love the stability of apple. Android has potential, but within 6 months of my G1 being on the market android was no longer developing for it, and within a year they were not really supporting it. I won't get another android device until they commit to better long-term support. If I had my druthers I would use linux, but so many of the applications used in schools require either windows or mac.

So you'd have a first choice, 2nd choice etc.. so you can vote for the Green party as your first choice, and then put the democrat as your 2nd choice, and they would be weighted differently so people could have more confidence in having a vote for a 3rd party candidate actually count.

quality control problems with drug manufacturing again? *rolls eyes*


*heavy sigh*

and people wonder why I am often reluctant to eat food I haven't watched being prepared...
3:38 pm
brandyjack

Actually, the factory has been down since January? Can't find the story anymore. Only read it an hour ago...
3:38 pm
stidmama

oh, that is a long time for a factory to be down -- I read a couple weeks ago that Excedrin is only now starting up production again. They were offline for almost the whole year, too.
3:42 pm
brandyjack

I don't use the stuff myself. Just prolongs the misery. I guess the factory had problems with pills from one line mixing in with pills from another. Take two aspirin and find out they are what, taladafil perhaps?
3:43 pm
stidmama

Yes, broken pills from other lines. I use excedrin when the regular migraine medicine doesn't work fast enough. I can't be "down" when I am teaching!
3:43 pm

3:47 pm
dianedecoder

just regarding lab tech, my daughter's career... her lab in Burlington... etc. ... Nope, not short.... I'll catch you another time
3:48 pm
brandyjack

I'm an electronics lab tech, not medical lab. Not sure just how much longer, but they're gonna have to throw me out...
3:48 pm
