I am with her until Tuesday morning - have to go to work 100 miles away for 3 days, then will be back thursday evening. I am arranging for her friends to call and keep her company and do small things for her over those days. she's doing pretty well for a 78 year old but the hip pain has been masking knee pain (she needs a new knee) and she has to sleep on her back at present, which maked#s her knee hurt more

2:53 am

i bought a multi position sun lounger yetsreday in the hope she might be able to sleep in that and whilst not ideal, it's better than upright in a chair or hurting in a bed

once she can sleep better, she will heal up faster.
2:53 am

Good... glad she's comfortable enough to sleep.

Well no, Glant... I just tried a test message to it again and got this response:

perhaps you typed it wrong? it is a a welsh word

I know the UK health system is excellent but I am really surprised they let your Mum come home with no-one to look after her. They would not allow that here
3:40 am

here neither. But if she told them someone would take care of her, they might have taken her on her word?
3:40 am
lynxxx

though I guess she may have fibbed to them
3:50 am
Glantarell

who klnows what she told them? i am annoyed that no district nuyrse has called, and that they didn;t even give her a spare dressing for the wound - the hospital didn;t give her one

I just don't understand why he wouldn't come to me. When I finally located him under a car in our parking lot he was "speaking" to me but wouldn't come out even for his food which I brought and put by the car. He was really freaked out.
6:10 am
rubyfoo

mimi, picture the same scene with 2 feet of snow!
6:12 am
Lizlin

Hi all :)
6:12 am
MimiCat

The reason he got out in the first place was because I had to call the police about neighbors AGAIN and was peeking out to look to see if the police were there. Dodger never tries to get out like that so it wasn't even in my mind. The police tried to help me find him but no luck. They stopped back by about an hour later and tried to help but I was afraid they're scare him out from under the car and then I wouldn't know where he was....which is exactly what happened the THIRD time they came but I was able to approach him slowly and calmly and get hold of him....he was surely exhausted by then...I know I was. It was cold enough out there at 45 degrees.
6:12 am

6:15 am

I will be interested to see if you like it. I did, but my son hated it. They made a movie out of it and, again, my son (and the reviewers) thought it was awful but DH and I loved it

My cats are now the only love I get on a regular basis and they are my family. I had a cat years ago that I adored who got out just after I'd married and moved us from L.A. to Phoenix. She was gone 10 days and I thought I was going to die. One night I just decided to sit by the front door with the door open and wait to see if she came....AND SHE DID!! Walked right in. Amazing.
6:16 am

I can't imagine Sacha Baron Cohen playing anything straight! Just saw him in les Mis!
6:17 am

Are you kidding----HE was in les Mis?!!! What character did he play?
6:17 am

Oh Mimi! You do get unconditional love from animals but they don't understand how we feel when they go missing or get sick - yes I know that's stating the blooming obvious!
6:17 am

Wow, did I have an awful night. One of my cats scooted out the door and ran so I spent over 4 hours looking for him and worrying. Finally found him under a car in our parking lot but it took nearly 2 hours to get him to come out. The police were actually here and helped. He's home now. I'm a wreck.

so glad you found him - horrible feeling
8:47 am
MimiCat

The police were actually here three times---twice for me and the cat! We have such wonderful police here in Phoenix....very professional and great attitudes. They were so very kind and understanding. The reason he got out in the first place was because I had to call the police AGAIN about partying neighbors who woke me at midnight. I can't stand thinking one of my babies is scared and cold....just can't take that in stride.
8:48 am
MimiCat

And this particular cat has a seizure disorder.

I've had a cup of tea and a cup of cocoa....yep...tried to lie down but no use. I'm great in a crisis but tend to shake and fall apart when it's over.....that's where I'm at now. I'm fine but definitely need to unwind.

10:46 am
Jillyjill

I have a very old Linksys....we are going to Missoula tomorrow so will look into Medialink. Nothing really rash for current problems...I just get kicked off a lot
10:47 am
rururocks

I'm not sure I like Linksys..
10:47 am
Scrabbler

This winter she has been fretting about how my father must be so cold in the grave, and she is very interested in reading about near-de5 experiences, to boost her comfort in a heavenly afterlife.
10:47 am
rururocks

I have a lot of problems with mine
10:47 am
Scrabbler

Hi Jane
10:47 am
Scrabbler

I was having lots of problems with Linksys and settled on Medialink based on price and reviews.
10:47 am
rururocks

oh.. jeez scrabs
10:48 am
Jillyjill

And scrabs, I was always most like and closest to my father...so I have come to the conclusion that the good Lord wanted me to mend our relationship so He took my dad first....
10:48 am
mkg

hi all. need y word and x words please.
10:48 am
Jillyjill

And scrabs, my mom does not believe in an afterlife...that actually can be pretty depressing..
10:49 am
Scrabbler

After over 53 yrs of marriage the mourning is intense.
10:49 am
Scrabbler

I am missing those too, mkg.
10:49 am
rururocks

<---more concerned in before life
10:49 am
xeiluj

10:50 am
Scrabbler

Well said, Ruru!
10:50 am
rururocks

(nice try)
10:50 am
xeiluj

sorry
10:50 am
Jillyjill

Yes scrabs...that is why I mentioned deep in mourning. The first year is the hardest...
10:50 am
mkg

lookinh for yi
10:50 am
Scrabbler

Or do you mean, before de5?
10:51 am
rururocks

before de 5
10:51 am
snags

death of a spouse is something that is always just under the surface........... it never goes away.
10:51 am
Scrabbler

Oh, I found yi now, ty. Rhymes with feathered friend.
10:51 am
rururocks

before de 5
10:51 am
Jillyjill

<---likes to live each day as special...but still believes that all this love and relationship (including pets) will be renunited someday
10:51 am
mkg

ty got yi word.
10:51 am
rururocks

yeltonjohn
10:52 am
mkg

any x word clues?
10:52 am
rururocks

not that feathered friend I guess
10:53 am
xeiluj

same as oy 6, change first letter to x
10:53 am
Jillyjill

sounds like the fluid filled pocket under skin
10:53 am
Jillyjill

oh...and rhymes with the first part of sister
10:53 am
rururocks

I don't believe in an afterlife Jilly.. but I am trying to live this one for all its worth
10:55 am
Scrabbler

Rur, are you watching the Austrlian Open? Novak is losing right now!
10:55 am
rururocks

nope.. but I am going to watch a lot of football today once I finish this thing
10:55 am
rururocks

who is he losing to?
10:56 am
Scrabbler

Hockey at 1230--our Buffalo Sabres start th5 season. This is a hockey town.
10:56 am
Scrabbler

Wawrinka--another Eastern European, I believe.
10:56 am
Scrabbler

How is your knee, Ru?
10:56 am
rururocks

it won't last.. Novak is just too good
10:57 am
rururocks

my knee sucks.. that's why I'm an atheist I can't kneel down to pray
10:57 am
Jillyjill

I respect all beliefs ruru, but there is a part of me that see all life, love relationships as pure energy, karma or whatever, and I think it goes on. And with all the death I have experienced as a nurse; I truly know we all do have a soul, this body is just a container...
10:57 am
rururocks

:D
10:57 am
Scrabbler

Novak is only one set down. He is great at comebacks and 5-set matches.
10:58 am
andy792

di6/21 can not see it:(
10:58 am
mkg

any clues for the 9 or 8s?
10:58 am
Jillyjill

<---nbt/nbs...
10:59 am
Scrabbler

I have none, mkg....looking for you, andy.
10:59 am
Scrabbler

Hm, do you know which D, andy?
10:59 am
mkg

ty. dont have di 6 either/. nor any of the x words. weird. 4 of them.
10:59 am
Jillyjill

de8/9 combo follows the de6 "A portrait de****s a person."
11:00 am
Scrabbler

X = grey now. WEIRD words!
11:00 am
Jillyjill

Then add double vowel for the 8 and pl that for the 9
11:00 am
rururocks

that's fine with me Jilly.. I appreciate that people have their beliefs.. I don't really know one way or the other..but all the Bible stuff sounds like hooey to me.. I do believe in Karma.. It could be that there is an afterlife... I don't know. I have lots of friends who are religious.. I understand it, and appreciate what many churches do as far as community goes and charities.. they do do important things. I'm disappointed only with the Catholic and Mormon Churches right now
11:01 am
Scrabbler

xy4/11 rhymes with ovarian or ganglion c***.
11:01 am
mkg

ty got it.
11:01 am
mkg

add two letter ending to that xy 4. and it takes it.
11:01 am
Scrabbler

Next 3 x words have same first 4 letters. xy6 rhymes with not your brother but your si****
11:02 am
Scrabbler

xy5 -add a vowel; xy6--add 2 vowels
11:02 am
Jillyjill

My scientific background makes me believe that energy etc doesn't just disappear. And I am really struggling right now with my Catholic faith..mostly due to gay issues.
11:02 am
Jillyjill

ty scrabs!
11:03 am
Scrabbler

I have become agnostic in the last few years after being a somewhat serious Catholic. I think it is good to wrestle with these issues as we experience life.
11:03 am
mkg

wow. got all 4. weird. ty. so xy 3, then a 5 and two 6s: one with two vowels and one with vowel and cons.
11:03 am
mkg

ty all cluers.
11:03 am
mkg

those o words for that left corner are eluding me too.
11:03 am
rururocks

What about the way the Catholic church handles women? Doesn't that bother you.. you're a strong person?
11:04 am
Scrabbler

Jill, I too have struggled with the corrupt aspects of the Catholic Church.
11:04 am
Scrabbler

Yes, patriarchal, intolerant, wealthy (despite poverty in world)
11:05 am
mkg

the wealth of the catholic church is very upsetting to me. very.
11:05 am
Jillyjill

I agree scrabs. My dilemma is that 1) for a church so blest with a social justice belief; how can they be so hard on gays and 2) have always felt that by staying in and hanging on that there might be enough of us to change the tide..
11:05 am
Scrabbler

Yes, me too, mkg
11:05 am

11:06 am

so what pictures of which landmarks in DC do you all want to see from me?
4:41 pm
Glantarell

think i would have too, no matter what the answer!
4:41 pm
welki

and she would ask because (1) teenagers are so forthcoming with that sort of info, (2) she doesn't have a decent enough relationship with her own daughter to discuss such a personal question?
4:42 pm
smores

her mom added " I don't care, but you two shouldnt be sleeping in the same room if youre a couple"
4:43 pm
welki

seriously. "i don't care," and then conditions
4:43 pm

i suppose it's better than dispowning her...

maybe i'm reading this wrong - smores, she asked your daughter?
4:44 pm

I had a funny experience as a teenage girl -- I was visiting a fairly rich girlfriend and we were lounging on her big double bed talking about our boyfriends, when the maid walked in ad saw us. We chatted a bit and thought nothing of it. Months later my pal's parents went through a divorce, and the maid testified that she had caughttheir daughter and me in a lesbian situation!

what people "see" and how they process/interpret what they see amazes me

I think the maid was trying to make one of the parents look irresonsible for allowing such dreadful behavious. Remember, this was in the 1940s.

baking some chicken breasts...little olive oil and cajun seasoning and a little sliced onion
6:17 pm

Love cajun seasoning! Often use it on chicken and fish. Fav chicken at the moment is with lemon garlic and rosemary, thanks to Jamie Oliver!
6:18 pm
smores

mmm...sounds good Liz
6:18 pm
smores

I'd forgotten about rosemary, haven't used it in years...maybe time to pick some up :)
6:19 pm

REcommend it! We grow rosemary
6:19 pm

Lizlin

Try googling his recipe
6:20 pm
Lizlin

We adapt it - don't often use a whole chicken.
6:21 pm
Lizlin

But love roasting potatoes, that've had lemon in the boiling water before - even if we do use spray oil!!!
6:21 pm

Y'know what I find really annoying? It's when I see part of a word I know and dismiss it, and then find via morewords that it IS supposedly a word. Cf im5/16. Grrr. (It's the past tense of an archaic verb still used in falconry.)

cold where you are, jilly? ;)
7:56 pm
Jillyjill

Yes, but the sunshine helps. Plus Friday the wind broke through the high pressure and we got up to 59 degrees!
7:56 pm
Jillyjill

How about you?
7:56 pm
LeslieAnn

oh well that is downright balmy! was asking b/c of your icon :)
7:57 pm
Jillyjill

Has been cold for weeks, Friday was a nice fluke!
7:57 pm
jillibus

fog here, so it feels colder than it is because of the dampness. Nasty.
7:58 pm
Jillyjill

We had fog Wednesday and Thursday, that does make it much worse!
7:59 pm

Fog predicted again for tomorrow so I'm not driving through it in the dark for our usual Monday night duplicate bridge!

MimiCat

Hi, everyone! I'm exhausted tonight and don't know why I'm not already asleep. Was up all night last night tracking down and trying to catch one of my cats who decided to scoot out the door and run. It took the better part of 5 hours to get him back and the police helped. I was especially worried about him because he has a seizure disorder. This was not the time to give up drinking!
8:12 pm
Jillyjill

Give up drinking...whatchu talking about Willis?
8:12 pm
LeslieAnn

oh geez mimi, that sounds awful. so glad he is back with you.
8:12 pm
MimiCat

Exactly, Jilly!
8:13 pm
Bugsaw

maybe you cud invent a GPS transmitter that fits on his collar.
8:13 pm
Jillyjill

But I am so sorry about all that stress! Love my kitties so much, know what that must have been like.
8:13 pm
MimiCat

Thx, Leslie...I can't stand the thought of one of my babies being cold and scared....I spent from midnight to 5 basically searching the parking lot. When I found him under a car he wouldn't come out...that's when the police sort of helped.
8:14 pm

8:14 pm
Jillyjill

*imagines cops saying 'come out with your paws up'
8:14 pm
MimiCat

Bugs, my cats are totally indoor cats and I'm very careful about opening the door...this was a total fluke. I honestly thought I was going to have another heart attack since my heart was racing.
8:14 pm
Jillyjill

Hello minv!!
8:14 pm
Bugsaw

hi Minverork
8:15 pm
shorty

love ur pic and the one of Monument Valley
8:15 pm
MimiCat

LOL, Jilly! They tried to use a snare but that just scared him out from under the car but I was able to catch him.
8:15 pm
MimiCat

Thanks, shorty!! This new one is Sunset at the North Pole.
8:15 pm
Bugsaw

cats are very resilient and I have found that indoor cats never go very far away. They think they want to be out until they are
8:16 pm
MimiCat

That's true, he stayed close. But I was worried he'd have a seizure out there....he has really bad ones about twice a month.
8:16 pm
Jillyjill

Yes, mine freak out if they 'escape'. And I know what you mean mimi, those little boogers can be awful sneaky.
8:17 pm
MimiCat

The reason the police were here in the first place was due to noisy neighbors AGAIN....getting really tired of apt. living.
8:18 pm
LeslieAnn

ha bug. "This sucks outside, no one even brings me dinner."
8:18 pm
MimiCat

The police were really nice and didn't make me feel like an idiot for having them help me....we have a great police dept. here in Phoenix. Have always been impressed by them.
8:19 pm
Jillyjill

We had one rescued kitty I could actually hold the door open and she would have a look like "Ya, no thanks, been there, done that".
8:19 pm
MimiCat

I DID bring him dinner, Leslie, and he still didn't come out! I knew he was scared because when I'd talk to him he'd answer me with the most woeful sounding meow. Don't know why he wouldn't just come to me. Every stray in the complex did!
8:20 pm
Bugsaw

I think the police wud always rather chase a cat and calm a lady than deal with nasties. Then they tease each other about who will write up the report......
8:20 pm
Jillyjill

LOL...
8:20 pm
MimiCat

That's how the eldest of my three is, Jilly. His people had abandoned him at my old apt. complex and when he adopted me, I could tell he would never leave.
8:22 pm
Jillyjill

Our one tuxedo cat is always trying to escape. It would really be a problem as he lives at defcom 5...
8:22 pm
MimiCat

If it wasn't so scary for me, it would have been comical...I left my apt. door open in case he ran back so he could get in and there I was chasing strays away. My other two were closed off in the bedroom. Not the way I enjoy spending midnight to 5 these days.
8:22 pm
Jillyjill

I don't do midnight for any reason...LOL
8:23 pm
Bugsaw

I think you will have an early night tonight and wudn't be surprised if all cats were on the bed with you
8:23 pm
MimiCat

My neighbor said she accidentally let out a kitten she was caring for and heard its tiny cries and found it hanging by its claws on the side of the brick building.
8:24 pm
Jillyjill

They'd better be bugsaw!! After what mimi went through!!
8:24 pm
MimiCat

That's the weird part, Bugs....they are so very close to me...they take turns getting in my lap especially when I use the computer. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised...after all, I was really close to my kids, too, and they're now a disaster for me.

MimiCat

He really did...even as a tiny baby (both he and his sister were strays) he had this personality...he talks back to me. He does the funniest thing I've ever heard a cat do. When he was little and I didn't want him to do something I would make the "eh" sound...and he'd make it right back at me! Now, all I have to do is say a stern "Dodger" and he goes "eh, eh." So funny.

ooo...I would love to see that too...my oldest daughter struggles with math
11:03 pm
stidmama

bugs, you can confirm if I am on the right track about one thing: it seems to me that one of the biggest stumbling blocks for students who struggle isn't really the concepts, it is remembering the terminology. So I have started a "vocabulary corner" for the kids, with the key terms and their definitions up on the wall.
11:03 pm
stidmama

Has that been your experience as well? And do you have advice about how to help the kids map the concepts they DO know to terms they are learning?
11:05 pm
cosdem

too tired tpo look ill look when i get back home promise
11:05 pm
cosdem

remind me if i forget
11:06 pm
stidmama

Finally, one of the things I have noticed as a tutor and as a teacher is that students really don't care to take the time to transfer what they know if a mathematical phrase looks "different" they either panic and revolt against doing it, or just stop and stare. Any ideas other than modeling it, talking them off the ceiling and reassuring them that it's okay to get confused because it gets easier with practice???
11:06 pm
stidmama

okay cos, I can remind you next time I see you.
11:06 pm
cosdem

i found something similar but the one i was thinking about had like 10 examples of huge numbers like 12345678 x 987654321 and confirmed it all
11:07 pm
stidmama

yikes, cos!
11:08 pm
cosdem

it was pretty cool. the problem with 9gag is if you dont bookmrark it it gets missing because thety post so many stuff per day
11:08 pm
stidmama

that would be a hugely large number -- I don't think my calculator could handle it
11:08 pm
cosdem

they used a Texas 1 calculator
11:08 pm
stidmama

I haven't been to 9gag, but I have several sites I like that are similar in the the quantity, I can't visit them very often because I start to feel overwhelmed

Hotel room issues:

1) half of the outlets don't work.
2) the ones that do work are hanging OUT of the wall with wires showing
3) door handle to exit room fell off
4) shower handle fell off
5) 69 degrees is too cold and 70 degrees is too hot. Either I freeze or I sit here in my undies.
6) TV is dark
