hey jilli, glad to see you back with us. sleep well, hun

flosey

I am in the same boat. I am now on my 3rd compromised Master Card in less than a month. Fortunately all expenses were covered by Master Card -$6000 on the first. I have used the latest one very infrequently so I think I may be able to track who on SSI has a problem with their equipment. I find it more annoying than frightening since Master Card is alert enough to contact us.

Have driven a Jazz for the past 7 years - in UK and here

glad to hear that Liz
6:28 am

yes, from Sandy
6:28 am
Lizlin

Sorry about your car though Annie
6:29 am

Did you have full coverage?
6:29 am

I know it is a compact...Liz, is it comfortable?
6:29 am

and do not forget to look at the toyota line as well annie
6:29 am
Anniebrook

smores, My car was 14 years old so I dropped collision and comphrensive..I get nothing but the car was a good car
6:30 am
Lizlin

Yes - very! Had my own car in UK (the Jazz) as we both worked but now in Aus I share it with my hubby, who also loves it
6:30 am
Anniebrook

Yes, I will look at Corollas
6:30 am
Lizlin

It also has great vision - found the side mirrors much better than the toyota I tried
6:30 am
smores

I'm so sorry :(
6:31 am
Anniebrook

I am looking at a 3 year lease at 195.00 a month
6:31 am
crosshair

collision only adds 68 dollars a year to my insurance,so i just keep it on
6:32 am
Anniebrook

collision here is very very expensive
6:32 am
crosshair

nice inexpensive lease,as long as they are not too nitpicky when it comes time to turn it in
6:32 am
Lizlin

Hope you weren't in your car when it was totalled!
6:32 am
Anniebrook

I will ask about that, crossy
6:33 am
Anniebrook

Liz, my car was totaled because of the water surge during Hurricane Sandy
6:33 am
crosshair

our leases are notorious for every little mark and smudge.most just buy them out at the end
6:33 am
Lizlin

Ah! The Sandy reference. Silly me not picking that up!
6:34 am
Anniebrook

I might do that, will think of buying the car at the end but right now I am very excited about having a new car.
6:34 am
smores

was it garaged?
6:34 am
Anniebrook

No, it was in an open parking lot. The lot was like a sea.
6:34 am
Lizlin

It's great having a new car. The Jazz was new when we moved here - the first and most likely only new car we'll ever have!
6:35 am
Lizlin

Saw film last year of the floods in Brisbane washing cars away!
6:35 am
smores

wow, again, so sorry
6:35 am
Lizlin

Nothing to compare with Sandy though!
6:36 am

i bought my toyota echo new in 2004 all cash from cigarette money and am still driving it.it will be 9 years old next april and is bulletproof it is so reliable
6:37 am

It's great when you find a car that you love and can rely on.

7:24 am

I saw an ad for Dolce and Gabbana that looked like soft porn to me.
7:24 am
Anniebrook

All these good recommendations for the Honda, so a Honda Civic it will be.
7:25 am
MimiCat

The sexy ads kind of backfire on some of us who are older because they annoy us, right? Not exactly relevant to my life these days.
7:25 am
car.eeyore

OH, don't get me started on THOSE type of ads!
7:25 am

Mom, I thought my car was old. It was a Taurus '99. So a '96 Honda is still running, great.

I bought one new in the early 80's and still sold it for $1500 5 years later.
7:27 am
crosshair

i bought my toyota out at the end of the lease.my theory has always been as long as the monthly upkeep and repairs never excedd the original monthly lease payment,then you are good to go,but once they start exceeding a monthly lease payment it is time to retire the car
7:28 am
Anniebrook

wow, pcal
7:29 am
MimiCat

Every time my Jag broke down, each tow truck driver told me I should get a Honda!
7:29 am
crosshair

of course in almost 9 years,i have done the brakes once.changed a tail light buld and it is the third set of tires,so it has never exceeded a lease payment

pretty good, Vic! Working very hard in therapy and it is taxing, but finally I get something out of it. So that is good :)
8:05 am
hurshy

physical therapy or mental, sprite?
8:05 am
Vicuna

Good. Most things give back in relation to how much you put into them.
8:06 am
sprite

mental, hursh. And including living with my physical handicaps.
8:06 am
hurshy

yeah i likes my therapy too
8:07 am
sprite

true, Vic. I have been putting a lot into it for years on end, though, without getting much further. Finally found the right form for the therapy.
8:08 am
sprite

I won't say I _like_ my therapy. I hate going and I often am almost a zombie when I go home. But it works. That makes it worth everything.
8:08 am

omg I found the 10 right away. Never happened before.

waiting for hubby to come home. He will be home very early today, shop and make us nice sandwiches. We have an appt with the parenting helper at our normal dinner time.
8:26 am
smores

Parenting helper?
8:28 am
sprite

yeah, not sure how to call it. We have this service here. When you have trouble with how to be a good parent for your kids, you can get advice. Today we go with our son, trying to sort out how to handle our wayward teenagere.
8:29 am
smores

cool, hope it helps :)
8:29 am
smores

is your son looking at it as a positive thing or are you dragging him kicking and screaming
8:30 am
sprite

lol so do I! It is our 2nd apptm, the first already gave us some tools. And I am very happy our son agreed to come too, without problems. That makes things a lot easier and gives us hope.
8:31 am
sprite

I thought I had to coerce him. But I told him we would like him to come and he just said: "Ok, cool."
8:31 am
crosshair

sptire.we used such a service here for a year or 2 and it proved invaluable for both our son and us
8:31 am
sprite

I was flabbergasted... but in a very positive way, grin.
8:31 am
sprite

thanks, crossy. That is so good to hear. I am so glad we are not the only parents who sometimes feel like we have to do a job that nobody every taught us to do.
8:32 am
Judi

lol, sprite. Your teen was probably thinking the parenting helper was going to tell YOU all the things you were doing wrong.
8:32 am
smores

That's great, that sounds like he wants things to improve as well. You will all get through this :)
8:32 am
mael

good luck, sprite!

well,when you have a child with develpmental delays as well,it can be a good idea to get views from people who are outside the tornado of it all with fresh new ideas and tools to help everyone succeed
8:33 am
crosshair

we were glad it was available
8:33 am
smores

LOL....you are definately not alone sprite...none of them came with a manual.
8:34 am

Judi: and he is probably right! She wants us to be stricter, grin. But on the other hand, she wants us to give him rewards... seems teenagers can be truly motivated by earning ... what is the word... you know, special things.
8:34 am
crosshair

yes,they need structure as well as a carrot
8:35 am
sprite

our kids are pretty normal, as far as normal is anything definable anyway. But this teenager time is tough, and Tim started to run away from home, be physically agressive and was ignoring it when we said he couldn't go out. So we had to do something.
8:35 am
Judi

I commend you for working to make everyone's lives easier, sprite. Not having children, I can't really relate. But, working at a police station, I have seen plenty of majorly disfunctional families. Sometimes I think parenting classes should be optional at certain milestone ages in a child's life.
8:36 am
crosshair

you will be glad you did this sprite.good move indeed
8:38 am
uusue2

(((sprite))) parenting is not easy!!
8:38 am
Judi

I think it would be fun if you all donned sumo suits, jumped in a moon bounce and body slammed out all of your frustrations.
8:39 am
sprite

Judi, in all honesty, I think those classes should be obligatory. Some very simple things can make such a difference. For instance: as a parent you try to be patient and calm, you don't get mad at first, second, third... you really try to understand... you get madder... until it blows up.
And then someone tells you: Be stricter, and do it long before you start to get mad.
Mannnn of course... why didn't I realise sooner?
8:39 am
smores

I agree Judi, there are a lot of classes and services available here for newborns - but not much for when they get all hormonal, defiante, and sometimes unrecognizable....hard headed, stubborn, know-it-alls...lazy, sleep all the time, pod people....
8:39 am

they call it "Center Young" here. They do everything from newborns to adolescents. Courses, .... what is that word... where you can simply make an apptm and go for advice, like a doctor?... and they even have help when things are really bad, though they have to bring in outside specialists then as well.
8:41 am
smores

yes, pod people..."Help...al6 stole my daughter"
8:41 am
Judi

I believe they call it "counseling" here.
8:42 am
sprite

LOLOL! Yes, pod people. Who is this arrogant, moody, angry monster that took the place of my kid?
8:42 am
Judi

There are varying degrees of counseling, of course. Verbal and behavioral modification all the way on up to boot camp!
8:42 am
sprite

ah exactly, counseling. That is it. Sorry, I have had a bad 2 days and my head refuses to come up with the english words I need.
8:43 am
sprite

you got it, Judi. That is it. We are in the verbal and behaviour stage.
8:44 am
smores

I actually took my daughter by the shoulders before, got right in her face,shook her and said "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER"
8:44 am
Judi

S'okay, sprite. Pod people can have that affect on you.
8:44 am
sprite

roflol smores! Did it work? *taking notes here*
8:45 am

*grin* ain't that the truth, Judi :)
8:45 am

8:46 am

Off to an appointment. Catch you kids later! *POOF*
8:46 am

my inner mantra is: only one thing is harder than being a parent to a teenager... and that is being a teenager.
8:46 am

Of course she had never seen the movie so she just thought I was nuts when I called her a pod person. We both laugh about it now :)

glad the cold is better. I got a terrible attack of allergies at the convention (not unexpected) and feel like I am recovering from a cold, but it's not bad today.
3:18 pm
smores

so other than allergies how was your trip?
3:20 pm
stidmama

It was good, smores -- I learned a LOT, attended about 8 workshops and made time to see some of the people who had posters to present and also visit the exhibit hall for an hour. I was busy! LOL didn't do the evening things (a dance and a lecture) because I was so tired.
3:20 pm
Jillyjill

Did you drive or fly? I'm pretty sure mine was from the 6 hour flight from Hawaii.
3:21 pm
stidmama

I drove to Seattle, and made a last-minute (a week ahead) decision to get a hotel room for two nights so I only had to make the commute once. Theoretically I could have driven up and back each day, but I was so tired by evening that I was glad I didn't push.
3:21 pm
stidmama

I was glad to have a quiet space for down-time in the evenings.
3:21 pm
smores

Did you get to go the see O'connor?
3:22 pm
TraderKate

oh, i stepped away for a minute, and now flosey's gone - if anyone sees her tell her to have lots of fun at bridge
3:22 pm
stidmama

I did not -- that was in the middle of Saturday, and my allergies were so bad (think running faucet) that I needed to just find a quiet corner and take some Benadryl. I was sad to not attend that event, but it gave me a chance to see the exhibit hall, and that was nice.
3:23 pm
stidmama

flosey's flown... *wicked mama grin*
3:23 pm
stidmama

hey kate
3:23 pm

oh definately worth getting a room, glad you didn't try to drive back and forth

3:24 pm

well, if I had, I wouldn't have done the three hours on Sunday morning. And it was a good 2-hour workshop on how to adapt classroom tasks to meet the needs of all kids
3:24 pm

So, the funny Thanksgiving story this year is about my dizzy friend who called the gourmet market inquiring about turkey prices and when the guy said 199, she thought he meant 199 dollars, not 1.99 per pound. : D
4:16 pm
Altagolfnut5

1.99 is expensive enough, let alone 199.00
4:16 pm
doseffing

... Could be she was looking for a really, really big turkey ...
4:16 pm
Altagolfnut5

had some friends order a turducken last christmas just to try it. I know it was over 100 bucks!
4:17 pm
MollyL

No, she asked specifically about a 20 pound turkey. I'm still laughing that she though ANY turkey was 199 bucks.
4:18 pm
MollyL

Better yet, when she asked about the Bell & Evans turkeys, he told her they were 340. : D
4:19 pm
Altagolfnut5

yikes, is that organic turkey?
4:20 pm
MollyL

Yes, some kind of froo froo organic gourmet brand. Like there is anything gourmet about a turkey.

I know someone whose husband and sons used to hunt turkeys. It was not unusual for them to have four or five in the freezer. That they had plucked and dressed themselves. Now that's down home livin'.

We always get a turkey from the Hutterite colony. Nice fresh bird, no hormones etc, 28# this year: $45.30
4:31 pm
Jillyjill

And, we have tons of wild turkeys around here, someone should start 'harvesting' them! They poop on everything...
4:31 pm

hutterite chickens are good too, and big

hi uusue and indiaJan gl:)
5:10 pm
uusue2

the surgeon was just in and said we need to "challenge his system" tomorrow (since he is still very gassy and distended, and doesn't want to eat). I guess this is good but it sounds scary.
5:11 pm
Jillyjill

It does sound daunting...
5:11 pm
uusue2

maybe they just want him to walk a lot? He would probably walk more but keeps falling asleep.
5:12 pm
Jillyjill

Walking actually would aide both his lungs and the bowels. It increases motility..might decrease his gas (flatus in nursy speak).
5:14 pm
uusue2

it does make him burp a lot (which hurts). But he can't go alone, and I'm not comfortable taking him myself with all the things he's attached to. Maybe we should be more assertive about getting him up (but again, he did just wake up). He's been walking about twice a day.
5:15 pm
Jillyjill

And it's good all around not to stay in bed...builds up strength
5:15 pm
uusue2

he's in a chair but it's not that different from being in bed
5:15 pm
Jillyjill

I would encourage him to get up once an hour and just walk around in room a bit..no need to move his 'tethers'
5:16 pm

Flatus? I thought he was Cletus's brother.

how are you doing, jilli? It sounded like you were having some trouble as well

Sue, as I remember from my own experience (not as traumatic as Frank's), the poor old exhausted gut takes it's own sweet time to recover. Until there's gurgling, it's saying "Please let me rest!"

Oh, I know about ice chips. Wasn't even allowed them at first. Just a mint-flavoured swab on the dry lips.
7:57 pm
uusue2

I worry that some of this may be psychological, as he's had a lot of issues around food all his life anyway, and getting REALLY sick just after starting to eat post-surgery was very hard on him - he said he was almost suicidal, thinking that this is what the rest of his life would be like
7:58 pm
uusue2

he knows now that it won't, and that all the trouble he had was in fact a sign that things were wrong, even if he didn't know what
7:58 pm

Oh dear, poor guy! Please assure him it won't always be so hard. There are so many delicious gluten-free things available, and even more to come -- or whatever else is needed, with so much more information coming in.
