jilli, I have had 3 friends (one in her 80's and 2 in their 50's) who have had that done in this past year; 2 had a lot of skin and tissue removed and then skin grafted. You wouldn't notice it on any of them now. Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.

thanks, nef -- and my plastic surgeon is really good. He did a job on my chin earlier and it's totally invisible now -- although it wasn't a graft. He says this will be invisible in about a year.

my most vivid memory of Sunday School was walking there (in Shanghai) with a friend and seeing a beggar woman with a baby in her arms, all dressed in rags -- and then the baby's rags slipped a bit and underneath was a beautiful red silk cape. My introduction to the Beggar Kingdom there.

1:09 am

Those don't seem to come into Hollywood, but some of the outlying parts of LA see them - generally where ther's a large garden, pool, small animalsleft outside - and not something I wanat to find outside (or inside) my apartment. I'll stick with the fish, and an occasional sleepover with DD's cat.
1:11 am
jillibus

the clip was about this dumb female who phoned a radio station to protest a deer crossing sign beside a busy highway. She thought it should be moved to s less busy place so that the deer would try to cross in such a heavily trafficked area.
1:11 am
IndiaJan

Lol
1:11 am

1:11 am

We had a bear up the hill behind the house - hubby wondered why the dog was making a strange sound - it was huge and standing against a tree as if he was thinking of climbing(?)
1:12 am
Altagolfnut5

and she was adamant.....wrote letters etc, but no-one wrote her back.
1:12 am

the radio person was so patient with her. Maybe it's on YouTube.

oh jilli, I had not seen that, sounds like one of the "dumb blonde" jokes that circulate (sorry all natural blondes)
1:13 am
Christine

Pitiful. But, in the SD area, there are signs (a man, woman and child, holding hands and running) on the freeway, alerting drivers to people crossing the lanes on foot. Unfortunately, some people (thought to be undocumented) mistook the signs for a safe place to cross.

7:26 am
rbud

it's looking pretty good for he and his buddy to be on schedule for a move to Iowa in late Nov, complete with jobs in a locomotive-making company. Will believe it when I see it.
7:27 am
rbud

21 and he's never lived away from home yet.
7:27 am
Lizlin

7:27 am

not really, the next state over.
7:28 am
rbud

state line's about 60 miles away, they'll be able to run home on weekends if they want.
7:28 am
Lizlin

still, moving away from home is good - and the next state over is far enough to encourage independence! don't let him bring his washing home at the weekend though!

I hope you will stay safe. It looks nasty on the radar. You are talking about the hurricane, correct?
7:47 am
72 Temple Owl

yes, but it will turn nor'easter then merge with the cold front. leaves still on trees, nasty.
7:48 am
Mom

oh dear, I didn't hear about the nor'easter
7:49 am
72 Temple Owl

yes. not yet sure where it willl make landfall. i need to get some peanut butter, things i can eat without power.

Frank and I are both doing pretty well. He had pancakes last night, and is ok!
8:12 am

:) :) :)
8:13 am
smores

that's great uu - it sucks that crohns is kinda hit and miss of what you can and can't have
8:14 am
uusue2

I've started to do sort of a modified eat-every-other-day diet, where I alternate days of eating very little with days of eating normally, maybe I can get my weight down
8:14 am
car.eeyore

Make sure your blood sugar stays even though.
8:14 am
smores

that sounds like what crossy is doing
8:14 am
uusue2

it does suck, smores, and he is still in mid-flare, so much more restricted than he probably will be once it calms down
8:15 am
uusue2

well, my eating very little days aren't quite as restricted as what crossy's doing; I'm eating three times a day, just not very much each time
8:16 am
car.eeyore

Just add in a fruit or veggie if you need a snack.
8:17 am
smores

my niece has something similar ( forget what it's called) no dairy, nothing with tomatoes, lots of fruits affect her
8:17 am
uusue2

yes, I've done that (college senate meeting yesterday morning had some fresh raspberries and blackberries - yum!!)
8:18 am
smores

nice uu - good that meeting are turning to the fruits for morning meetings instead of the donuts and coffee
8:18 am
car.eeyore

Nice choice! Super fruits!
8:19 am
smores

just make sure on the days you aren't eating much to still eat a little something 1st thing in the morning
8:19 am
uusue2

our dean is a bit of a health nut (although there are usually some muffins or something as well)
8:20 am
uusue2

and Frank is ok with dairy, thank goodness, as long as it is low fat (yogurt ok, ice cream not)
8:21 am
smores

if he likes ice cream, maybe try some of the frozen yogurts - I switched to that a while back trying to lose a little weight myself
8:23 am
uusue2

I did get him some vanilla - he can't have the ones with chunky fruits right now - he seemed to like it
8:25 am
smores

that's good, I had a bad ice cream habit :) mostly eat the frozen yogurt now - still have the occasional chocolate moose tracks :)
8:26 am
car.eeyore

Y'all are making me hungry!
8:26 am
smores

sorry car :)
8:27 am
uusue2

It's really complicated with him because of the celiac - everything has to be gluten free - and right now he has to be on very low fiber, and nothing that has large pieces (so almost pureed) - the pancakes worked because they pretty much disintegrate.
8:27 am
uusue2

I could talk about his symptoms and take your appetite right away, car :-)
8:28 am
car.eeyore

Such a learning process for everyone.
8:28 am
uusue2

boy, is it ever!
8:33 am

8:35 am
uusue2

and I have nbt (although all my words are 4 and 5 letters), better get my day started. I think Frank is well enough that I can walk to work (don't need to worry about dashing home).
8:35 am
uusue2

thanks, smores! I haven't been on the site much myself but Frank has been reading it a lot.

I think it was named after the inventor.

Of course we were very impressed and lavished praise on him.

He batted it around and made sure it squeaked so we could hear it.
9:48 am

oh yuck

So today, I'm sure he'll be kind enough to barf it up somewhere in the house.
9:48 am

Yeah. That part I could really live without.
9:49 am

mine usually don't barf their catches back up...thankfully

Good Morning All. Speaking of cats; if mine finds one, she delivers it to us and uses the very odd low pitched meowing sound, and it's usually fairly dead. Thank goodness we haven't ever found her vomiting them up somewhere!

The duck got away with the aid of a broom. But once I brought over a box of crabs (lucky day) and they got loose from their box and scuttlrd sround the kitchen and bit the same cat.

true, saanichcat. And I love sea food, but wouldn't want it running around loose (and with my kids; I'm glad we lived here in MN when they were young! We'd have that type of stories then!

I clean the crabs at the beach now.
10:11 am

mmmmm......crabs
10:12 am
Nef

We live in a 1950's-type suburb within 10 minutes of both Minneapolis and St. Paul city centers. But we have deer that wander through here; mallard ducks that nest on our lawns, and rogue geese that can scare the dogs (they come through the yards in flocks in the spring)
10:13 am
saanichcat

setting the table for them is easy - newspaper, hammer, butter etc
10:13 am
Nef

I love crabs too.
10:13 am

don't forget the lemon :)
10:14 am

where do the deer come from? Are they city dwellers? We have that "problem" here too but we are taking away their homes.

well, he's ok. i mean he doesn't eat enough, but he does eat. and then i found out from my sister that when her dog had this kind of issue they put her on a steroid which increased her appetite and she gained the weight back. so now i know that's an option i feel better.

nothing much peri, he lost some weight, but his blood and urine tests came back looking pretty good. we've switched him to wet food because some of his kidney levels were SLIGHTLY elevated, but it's hard to get him to eat enough of it, because he's never been very into food.

In general terms, the ex (not in the grid) is a person who moved to another country, may renounce his citizenship, and became a citizen of the country he/she moved to. The re in the grid refers to a person who comes back to his/her country of origin

Yes but that whiskey, lemon, sugar and cloves thing that a fellow Irishman posted here is such warmth on a cold night.
3:36 pm

Indeed. As you know, I am not a whiskey drinker, but, if one is feeling unwell, or if it is very cold outside, or if the day of the week has a 'Y' in it, a hot whiskey is always comforting!

i'm trying to ignore this, since last year i lost my electricity for 6 - 7 days in August and again in October. And still didn't get a generator
3:45 pm
Soodle

I'm not sure if its because of the rotten Summer we have had, or maybe I am just becoming a bit more observant in my old age, but the colours of the trees this Autumn (Fall) are the most spectacular I ever remember.
3:46 pm
MollyL

I would love to have a generator. It would take a lot of the worry out of big storms.
3:46 pm
Dorens

you had a lot of rain, right Soodle? that does make for great color
3:46 pm
MollyL

The amount of rain you have over the summer has a lot to do with the intensity of the fall trees.
3:46 pm

It also depends on how many things you want to keep running. They are priced by the electrical output they provide.

After living through two long power outages, I keep a "storm kit" stocked. That way, I don't have to battle the last minute folks at the store.

it is soodle, and then there are other costs involved, unless you can just lug it up and down the steps, and they are heavy

8:16 pm
Aloyisius

stid, I'm still in Ohio for 10 more days.. yes, we are supposed to get the "backlash" and maybe 3+ inches of snow on Halloween, but not as bad as other areas .. just had a going away supper for neighbors who are headed for southern Texas tomorrow afternoon.. they are getting out in the nick of time
8:17 pm
Aloyisius

are you dressing up for Halloween?
8:17 pm
stidmama

well three inches isn't horrible, just more than I know you usually get this time of year. I hope the storm won't be as bad as feared.
8:17 pm
stidmama

I don't observe halloween, so -- no. :-)
8:18 pm
Aloyisius

me too! The power outages are the worst part, I think.. some trees still have leaves, ergo heavy snow snaps branches on top of power lines
8:18 pm
Aloyisius

Mother Nature knows what she is doing when trees shed their leaves
8:20 pm
stidmama

definitely -- the maples here are only just turning (WAY late) and I hope they finish and drop the leaves before we get a wind storm. Last time we had an early "blast" it was pretty bad.
8:21 pm
stidmama

are you doing anything special for the holiday? other than shoveling snow?
8:22 pm
Aloyisius

lol, no.. I bought some Snickers just in case kids come, but they haven't been by for years (sniff).. the neighborhood kids are all grown and gone

our neighborhood has a small resurgence in kids -- a family that moved in last year, one that moved into their recently vacated grandparents' home, grandparents parenting their grandkids... but it's a lot quieter now than it used to be. Snickers don't last long, do they. I suppose you can justify not letting them go to waste with all the extra calories burned because it's chilly when snow is being shoveled? And if you are the one shoveling the snow you can justify a few more...

well, ya know.. Snickers freeze well, but I don't know that

we have a contract with a snow "pusher".. if there is 4" or more, he comes.. otherwise, our circular driveway on an incline is impassable
8:27 pm
stidmama

not enough room in our freezer for snickers, with all the apple pie filling (I canned it, but a few of the jars didn't seal well), the frozen berries from summer, the ice cream...

oh my, yes one of grant's friends has a similar driveway, and the last big snowstorm I had to deliver Grant... I slowed down on the road, skidded past, pushed the kid out... *wicked mama grin* managed to slow enough to navigate the round end of the cul-de-sac and relied on the traction bit on the car to pull me out.
