awww dcs....how can i help you??
1:49 am
dcseain

i'm rather drained, to say the least. I shared a memory of my father -- he died in 1986 -- and it hit me hard.
1:49 am
dcseain

just one of those things -- as i tell people, the hurt never goes away -- it just gets less frequent and sometimes blindsides you when you least expect it.
1:49 am
dcseain

just one of those times -- the memory was so vivid it hurt, which happens sometimes.
1:50 am
grannyrose

yup, right with you, buddy. trying so hard to face it is over 10 years since my own father's death.
1:52 am
grannyrose

and the mother....is so pathetic....i have to leave it to the bro's....trying to deal with the mother-in-law...never mind my own mother.
1:53 am
dcseain

yeah, i get that.
1:56 am
grannyrose

it is really so pathetic, in my own mind....i mean...it's my mother who needs help...and it's mother mac who is under my roof.
1:56 am

just where do i divide my attention??

2:19 am

I am convinced that Enable contains one particular version of the Bible (not the King James), the whole of Robert Burns' works, and what used to be referred to as "the Rubber Book" - a hefty chemistry reference text which we used in the lab at work.
2:20 am
dcseain

scouser, you should read jillibus description of ENABLE -- it's in her profile, you can find her in the rankings.
2:20 am
Jivingjenny0

it certainly doesn't contain some of the words that I use in every day language
2:20 am

(when not being read for data, it was handy for weighing things down!)
2:21 am

Yes dcseain - I have had a look at that some time back. Very funny.
2:22 am
grannyrose

scouser, read jillibus's profile. a very accurate description of enable
2:22 am
dcseain

:) it has a bunch of yiddish in it to, like mensch, schtetl, schtetel, shtetel...
2:23 am
scouser

The other day "funner" and "funnest" were accepted yet those are not in Lickety's lists. They sound wrong to my English ears.
2:24 am
grannyrose

ahhh, scouser...i have enable word list on a short \cut on my desk-top...very handy.
2:24 am

hey jenny
2:24 am

funner sounds wrong to my american ones, though funnest i've gotten used to.

Queensland's cold, wet winter has been hard yakka -- leaving us chilled to the bone and sick with flu, coughs and colds.

OK maintenant je comprends. I thought it might mean the stuff in/on the bathroom!

Lili put her hand in her chip purse; what chips she had were sandwiched between a gunge of half-melted chocolate.

I saw on youtube a clip of some chaps "rescuing" i.e. 4 men wrestling it to the ground, a cassowary. I can remember one sledgehammering my dad's shoulder at the zoo - no-one knew it could reach right over its fence and a small hedge to attack anyone sitting on a bench nearby until Pa sat down. The keeper said it was after his white hair!
3:04 am
grannyrose

oh...scouser..... too close for comfort.
3:05 am
scouser

the cassowary was being rescued because of the bad weather I think and because it was getting into gardens presumably for shelter.
3:08 am

NB Pa's hair went white when he was in his 30s

we were supposed to get the freeing rain, but just got rain - thankfully

9:37 am

we had the nasty rain, sleet, snow yesterday. Lots of small town schools are running 2 hours late because of the roads; but the MN highway department is doing a good job.
9:38 am
Nef

how far do you have to go to work today, Scrabbs?
9:38 am
bichon

MN probably does a bang up job on the roads
9:39 am
Nef

they try to, bichon. There are certain weather conditions that are bad no matter what they try to do though.
9:40 am

The worse the weather, the better the road treatments are. Here they sand before a storm
9:42 am
Scrabbler

It's 24 miles from my house to the Indian Reservation Health Ctr. Just 8 miles to my main office.
9:42 am

I hate the below zero blizzards with blowing snow. they cause extremely hard drifts that challenge even the plows; so it's like driving over a series of curbs. Very wearing on both the vehicles and the people in them.
9:43 am
Nef

Oh, man, Scrabs! How early did you have to start out?
9:43 am
Scrabbler

Any dh- words?

11:17 am

I took it apart and tried, but he wound it too tight and I've been trying, with the help of the Chelsea guy, to fix it. I don't feel like spending another $3,000 to have it re-repaired

Cos, one of the reasons I check things like that on Facebook is to help a friend who does computer forensics. He's compiling a list of examples of how unsafe Facebook is.

can anyone clue the u words?
4:52 pm
syb215

nm....got them
4:53 pm
jwr

witchy - it's pretty much the same as getting over the death of any loved one. I guess 'getting over' is not really what it is. Grieving is a process one has to go through, no way to get around it. Hits you at odd times and there's an empty space in your heart that will always ache a little. That's the advice I got and it helped. A little.
4:56 pm
jwr

I know it doesn't mean anything right now, but the ache will get less, and the good memories will stay with you. The mind knows how to heal the heart. You made a start on healing. You reached out to others who will listen and understand.
4:56 pm
SeaSpray

Oh Witchy...I lost my dog of 15 years a 18 months ago..jwr is right there is a place in your heart that will always ache a little...It took me a while
4:56 pm
SeaSpray

and I still miss him
4:58 pm
jwr

so sorry, SeaSpray. 15 is a very long time. Sometimes it's harder to get over the loss of a beloved pet than a person just because they gave unconditional love.
4:58 pm
SeaSpray

during this time I also lost my father in law and my dad...my heart is very heavy to say the least...there will come a day when you will be able to talk and laugh about your dogs antics
4:59 pm
SeaSpray

you are so right jwr
5:00 pm
jwr

gosh, that's a lot of loss all at once. I hope you had (and still have) a lot of support from friends and family.
5:01 pm
SeaSpray

family and friends have been amazing...especially my husband and children...
5:01 pm
witchy

Thanks he was 13 and although I lost both my parents 10 years ago this seems worse at the moment but I guess it just got easier without me realizing it.
5:02 pm
SeaSpray

I thought it was worse too witchy, I guess because he was at my side everyday
5:04 pm
jwr

As SeaSpray can probably tell you, there is no cumulative effect to grief but there is instead -- what can I call it -- a compounding of it. Each time you have a new loss, the old one(s) come back too.
5:05 pm
jwr

Witchy, who have you got to talk to? (besides Babblers, of course!)
5:07 pm
witchy

All my family but they are grieving too, we are remembering the good things about him but Babblers always seem to know what to say to help. Thank you all
5:07 pm
jwr

Spray, it's great that you have the family there. It does share the burden, and your husband must be going through it too (both your fathers, oh my).
5:10 pm
jwr

yw, witchy. I usually don't get a chance to say anything because so many Babblers are there to help and they do it so well. Glad I was here if it helped. Bye to both of you. Gotta go.
5:10 pm
SeaSpray

yes, like I said my children and their spouses were there every step of the way...we lost our dads one year and one day apart, my dad on my birthday...it has been such a difficult time, but you just keep your chin up and do what you have to, maybe thats how we get through it all

Most people are surprised to learn that the name TASER is actually an acronym that stands for “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.” The TASER gun was originally designed in 1969 by an inventor named Jack Cover who named the TASER gun after the adventure character Tom Swift. tidbit for the day

I know my braised spare ribs are better than those.. I did like the restaurant though
8:16 pm
Dorens

eggplant fries? never seen them.. sounds good
8:16 pm
rururocks

they were really tasty
8:16 pm
MollyL

Poor Dorens, still in the unknown country
8:17 pm
rururocks

they soaked them in water and lemon juice and dusted them with garlic powder and lemon zest and some kind of rice flour and deep fried them
8:17 pm
rururocks

they were like air.. very light
8:18 pm
rururocks

no one else was eating them so I ate most of them
8:18 pm
Dorens

i'm in french polynesia. I'm just so disgusted with our congress, not proud at all of this place right now.
8:18 pm
Dorens

I'd have wanted them for sure
8:18 pm
rururocks

and left my spare rib to fend with the slightly overcooked veggies
8:19 pm
rururocks

you're in polynesia?
8:19 pm
rururocks

I didn't get the geebies either
8:20 pm
rururocks

they also had great onion rings. loved those
8:20 pm
Dorens

Have any of you ever had to watch a pet die? I brought Lucy to the vet yesterday for euthanasia, and he felt it would be better to try to give her appetite stimulatns, antibiotics, prednisone and a bunch of other meds. Of course I felt it would seem wrong to ask him to just go ahead and put her down. She had a bad night last night, and I came home from school today to find her lying in the laundry room unable to move. She is still breathing, and cries from time to time. But at least she is here on my bed and seems to be soothed by my talking to her.
8:20 pm
MollyL

That's good Ru. And you didn't feel the need to defend poor, picked on eggplant. : D
8:21 pm
rururocks

what's the matter with her doren
8:21 pm
MollyL

I'm sorry Dorens. It sounds like what you had in mind was more humane that the vet's idea.
8:21 pm
Dorens

who knows? saturday night i came home to find her bleeding from the nose, eyes discharge and obviously in distress. Now she just can't move at all. Only lifts her head once in a while.
8:22 pm
glittzy

that's very tuff. how old is she? what does she have.
8:22 pm
rururocks

oh.. geez.. maybe it is her time
8:22 pm
rururocks

did the vet say what it could be?
8:23 pm
Dorens

yes, I'm quite upset with the vet. She is 17, which is time to go in my opinion, when she had hyperthyroid, hypertension, obviously the beginnings of kidney failure. Saturday orning she wouldn't eat at all, or drink water (which she's been drinking 2 ounces at a time). It is her time.
8:23 pm
rururocks

then do the right thing for her
8:23 pm
Dorens

Vet thought it could be rhinitis, some kind of infection. X rayed her, thinking cancer, but found no tumors.
8:23 pm
rururocks

they'll let you know
8:24 pm
glittzy

Its difficult, I've done it 2 times, but I felt both times that the dog knew what we were doing was best and just having me there helped them.
8:25 pm
rururocks

it's the hardest thing to do .. to say goodbye to a beloved pet
8:25 pm
rururocks

I'm really sorry Doren..
8:25 pm
Dorens

I'm expecting she will die tonight. Don't see how she can go on much longer like this. When I saw her totally immoblilized I called the vet and asked about bringing her in and they said they could see her tomorrow. I kind of think, no thanks. I'll just keep her here now, I'm so annoyed with them.
8:25 pm
MollyL

17 years is a long time to have a pet.
8:25 pm
arctictundra

it is the sign of a good owner when your pet lives that long
8:26 pm
glittzy

prayers to you...
8:26 pm
MollyL

I lit a candle for Lucy, Dorens.
8:27 pm
Dorens

they should have said of course, bring her in I don't care how many other appointments they had. How much time could it have taken them to administer a shot. So now, unless she is really crazed, I will just let her die here at home, as I did with my father ten years ago. I just wonder if I could give her some oxycodone or xanax or something like that to put her out.
thank you molly
8:28 pm
Bugsaw

that is so hard Dorens and I am sorry for you watching her in distress. She will find more relieve and comfort from the sound of your voice and the comfort of your warmth. It will ease her passing.
8:28 pm
MollyL

I agree, they should have let you bring her in.
8:28 pm
Bugsaw

relief, osrry
8:29 pm
Bugsaw

My vet is great and lets you bring in emergencies whenever, even on New years Eve
8:29 pm
Dorens

and glitzy and the rest of you.
What makes me worry the most is that if she is still alive tomorrow, I have no choice but to go to work. I'm chairing some important meetings and can't miss them. was even thinking of bringing her in a basket and keeping her in my office. That does seem a little nuts, though, right?
8:29 pm
Bugsaw

going for food. can't even spell sorry when apologizing for bad spelling....................
8:30 pm
Dorens

no need bugs... i thinki correcting your typos is unnecessary in this forum.. Obviously we're all intelligent and know how to spell "-)
8:30 pm
glittzy

do you have an emergency vet where you are?
8:33 pm
Dorens

my vets do emergency calls. That's why when I brought her in yesterday morning it cost $150 just for the office visit, cause it was an emergency visit (being Sunday). Then there was the x-ray, the SubQ, and all the meds. All so unnecessary. She was purring yesterday while I was stroking her... It should have been done then. But at least she is home, and (hopefully) comfortable for the most part.
8:35 pm
glittzy

I just thought since you needed to be at work there are emergency vets that only do that and will take you and make her comfortable to get the shot if you decided on that.
8:35 pm
salmocreston1

Hi Arctic Tundra. How are you doing
8:35 pm

On the other hand your vet should not charge you for the shot tomorrow either.

That is unfortunate Dorens. The vet should have honored your wishes and not done all those unnecessary tests.

what about Medicare? Supplemental insurance?
10:07 pm
Nef

No. He thinks that he will get it automatically; I say he has to sign up for it. (He turns 65 next Monday)
10:08 pm
uusue2

Ah. I think you have to sign up.
10:08 pm
Nef

(This has been an on-going arguement; I don't want him to be penalized for life if he doesn't sign up)

10:09 pm
MollyL

Nef, you have to apply for Medicare just like you have to apply for any other benefit (Social Security/Disability) No one gets that automatically.
10:09 pm
Nef

I know, Molly. It's him that's the stubborn one.
10:10 pm
Nef

And it's scary because he has trouble with cognition; so his memory isn't the best.
10:11 pm
uusue2

Can you apply before you turn 65 (so it becomes effective on your birthday) or do you have to wait until you're 65 and then apply?
10:11 pm
MollyL

So showing him a pamphlet that explains this will not convince him?
10:11 pm
tabbycat

Nef, you do get part A automatically when you turn 65 but you have to sign up for part B. And you should get a supplement as well
10:11 pm
Nef

He *thinks* he gets it automatically because a letter he got says he's *eligible* for it.
10:12 pm
tabbycat

You should apply about a month or so ahead of time.
10:12 pm
tabbycat

That is for part B
10:12 pm
uusue2

ok, good to know, thanks tabby!
10:12 pm

sue, this is something we've been disagreeing on for 3-4 months now.

I recently turned 65 and just started Medicare

Hi all.

Nef, I think you do have to "register" for part A though.... https://questions.medicare.gov/
10:15 pm
Nef

THANK YOU tabbycat! I just read your posts to him; and hopefully he understood that. (He's a former Federal Employee and had a disability retirement; his Blue Cross Blue Shield will be the supplemental insurance)
10:15 pm
lbdawger

hi nrkii
10:15 pm
Nef

hi nrkii; thanks for the link!
10:16 pm
tabbycat

Hubby stayed on my insurance for a few years until I retired. He got part A automatically, then applied for part B right before I retired.
10:16 pm
nrkii

I'm an expert googler :)
10:16 pm
Nef

:-) Good to know nrkii!
10:16 pm
tabbycat

We did have to get a form filled out to prove he had insurance up to that point so he would not be penalized and have to pay a higher rate for part B
10:17 pm
Nef

okay, tabbycat; but did he get penalized for not signing up sooner?
10:17 pm
MollyL

Nrkii is correct. You have to apply for Part A too. Medicare doesn't magically know where to find you.
10:18 pm
tabbycat

No, if you are covered up to within 6 months of when you apply you are not penalized.
10:18 pm
nrkii

oops, sorry to leave so fast, but gotta run... happy babbling everyone!
10:18 pm
tabbycat

That part never made sense to me. Seems like they'd be glad they didn't have to cover you for a few years
10:19 pm
Nef

really. Hmmm. Everything I've read says that it's a lifetime penalty for not signing up at age 65. We have 2 friends (one a USPS retiree and 1 another retired Federal employee) who are being penalized for not signing up on time
10:20 pm
tabbycat

You have to get that form to prove you were insured with comparable coverage to avoid being penalized.
10:20 pm
tabbycat

Maybe it's different for government employees. I was in the private sector with company insurance
10:21 pm
Nef

okay. I do appreciate the info. Babblers rock! (and it really lifted my mood too!)

In fact, I have the form right here. It's called a certificate of prior coverage and you get it from the insurance company where you were covered
10:23 pm
Nef

thank you all. Now; back to Babble! :-D
10:23 pm
Nef

Thanks for that info too tabby!

I have 31 words left; I think it might be time to list since I can't see anymore words now

there are some very strange words in this grid, nef
10:25 pm
torgone

They want to discourage going very long without coverage or treatment, so you don't wait until you need serious treatment ..
10:25 pm

I'm just reading it over and the credible coverage period has to be at least 18 months and the gap between that and the beginning of Medicare or other coverage has to be 90 days or less. Sorry for the incorrect info before.
10:25 pm
Nef

True, Molly. I'm happier now and want to finish the grid (esp. now that I know what to do!)
10:25 pm
MollyL

What about people with no health insurance? They don't get Medicare?
10:26 pm
tabbycat

Yes, Molly, they can get Medicare.

If they apply to be covered as soon as they turn 65 there is no penalty. If they wait too long before applying they could have to pay a higher rate.
10:28 pm
MollyL

Okay, I guess I wasn't getting the credible coverage thing since people with no health insurance would have none. As usual, with any government run thing, it's complicated.

Molly, that was what my hubby had to get because he didn't take Medicare part b when he turned 65 since he was still on my insurance.

Drat. Daughter just called; she "may" have a concussion. She was at derby practice and got clocked by one of the other gals.

hi, all. phantom: dowdy
11:08 pm
Nef

hi melonhead, How are you tonight?
11:20 pm
melonheadjujube

hi, nef, I'm pretty OK. Have an operation ahead. hip replacement. yikes.
11:22 pm
Nef

Remember we talked about this a week or so ago? If you have a good surgeon; you will do very well. Honest! I had one a year ago. The worst part of mine was that while I was in the hospital they'd wake me at 5:30 AM and make me go to therapy before 7 AM.
11:23 pm
melonheadjujube

hah, I just guessed the ta8 after looking at Lickety. 1st try :D
11:23 pm
Nef

(And having that surgery then made my life so much better too!)
11:24 pm
melonheadjujube

OK, now I do, nef, sorry for the flakiness. How long were you in hosp. Did you go straight home. What kind of implant?
11:24 pm
Nef

WTG, melon!
11:24 pm
stidmama

YAY melon?
11:24 pm
melonheadjujube

hiyee, stid!
11:24 pm
stidmama

hey all! I had a REALLY long, tiring, day... but I think I am "done" now and taking a few minutes just for myself. For the first time since I woke up at 5:15...
11:25 pm
Nef

My hip is Titanium and ceramic. I was in hospital for 4 days (counting surgery day)
11:25 pm
Nef

And I did go straight home too; have home PT but no RN or aide because of family.
11:25 pm
melonheadjujube

Adhesive or no?
11:26 pm
Nef

??? adhesive? what do ytou mean?
11:26 pm
melonheadjujube

My doc is one of University Hospital's top hip guys, trains residents.
11:26 pm
stidmama

meet my bionic friend, Nef... she can sit up, walk and stand, just like a barbie doll... *wicked mama look*
11:26 pm
Nef

stid; that's too long of a day for anyone!
11:27 pm
stidmama

wow melon, that's really impressive!
11:27 pm
melonheadjujube

I'll have my son at home and daughter nearby. PT is a friend who will give me advice on getting the house ready. How did you prepare for your return home, nef?
11:27 pm
Nef

Good surgeon to have then, melon! :-) Have they set a date yet?
11:28 pm
stidmama

I don't plan on doing that tomorrow, Nef -- will go in a LOT later, and leave almost "by the clock" tomorrow and Wednesday. But by putting in so much time today I know exactly what I am doing for the rest of the week and I have everything ready for the next three days. :-)
11:28 pm
stidmama

Melon, I hope you will have a good experience.
11:28 pm
melonheadjujube

re: adhesive, my doc said he will decide when he sees the bone whether to use an implant that is held with adhesive (glue) or one that has a rough surface into which the bone grows. The second type is better for someone as active as I am, but has a longer rehab_no weight bearing for a few weeks.
11:29 pm
melonheadjujube

No, I have to get my ducks in a row. Looking at mid-May to early June. Hope to return to work in Sep (I work in a school system, thuse timing it for the summer off)
11:30 pm
Nef

we live in a 1 story rambler; the biggest thing I had to worry about was pushing the bed out far enough from the side wall so I could get a walker around to my side of the bed. (DH has MS; we have the house wheel chair accessible anyway. But I didn't need a wheel chair ; just used a walker for about 10 days
11:31 pm
stidmama

R please? down to 39!
11:32 pm
Nef

I had surgery the end of July and wanted to go back to work the beginning of Sept. but I had family to take care of (DH's AUnt was living here and dying of heart failure)
11:32 pm
melonheadjujube

I'm on one floor, I just need to de-clutter. I understand you can' lift your lag past 90° for a few months, so I'm wondering how do I pick something up off the floor, feed the cat....put on underwear???? :P
11:33 pm
Nef

re 7/40: to go back over and paint places you missed
11:33 pm

thanks, Nef.

two more blanks and then I am turning into a pumpkin.
11:33 pm
stidmama

Tom was home today, made supper and is folding clothes...
11:33 pm
Nef

You need to get a "grabber" melon
11:34 pm
Nef

don't forget that base word, to5, stid
11:34 pm
Nef

Awww. so nice of Tom to do that! :-)
11:35 pm
stidmama

:-) thanks Nef
11:35 pm
melonheadjujube

Ah, yes, the grabber. Are there a lot of restrictions on types of movement? I know no crossing midline ("grapevine" step for example). I have a compact car, I can see where getting in an out will be tricky. (R hip, btw)
11:35 pm
stidmama

we call those "long hands" in our family, Nef! ;-) had one when my back was bad and the boys were little. Made life so much easier.
11:35 pm
stidmama

my last blank is the D on the bottom row -- unless it's fishy?

I lived in a Rambler for a while ..

My dad had one, the kids called it the "claw part".

Oh, torgone, I passed on that bad joke...
11:36 pm
stidmama

*stomps feets* HOW CAN MOCHA NOT BE A WURD??!?!?
11:36 pm
Nef

melon, the things that were invaluable to me were the wheeled walker (the kind with a seat), the grabber with a magnetic piece on the tip and a hook to help dress you; and the sock device.
11:37 pm
torgone

It's not connected, stid
11:37 pm
Nef

stid, da 4/6 rhymes with ta 4/6 (tight)
11:37 pm
stidmama

could schedule surgery for summer, then wouldn't need socks....
11:37 pm
melonheadjujube

Summer = no socks for me! (;
11:37 pm
stidmama

oh, piffle, tor -- my stupid tired eyes. *sigh* wishful thinking, I guess!
11:38 pm
stidmama

hm. thanks Nef *thinking*
11:38 pm
stidmama

got it! both, actually...
11:38 pm
Nef

:-D
11:39 pm
Nef

they gave me TED socks (compression socks) which were actually very comfy
11:39 pm
melonheadjujube

I just have so many habits I suspect will need adjusting. Believe it or not I sleep on my side, partway toward my stomach w/my leg drawn up to my chest sometimes. I read the Sunday paper with my legs slung over the arm of the easy chair. I just have this feeling I'll need to "rehearse' new movements for my recovery phase. I just don't wan't to screw up.
11:40 pm
stidmama

well, down to a youthful 32, and will now pack up and toddle off to beddy bye. Another day, another dollar... and it's soon February! And hopefully soon it will be Spring. Without a late cold snap...
11:40 pm
melonheadjujube

oh, yeah, TED socks, which have to be more interesting than TED talks (ack—finger down throat).
11:40 pm
stidmama

(((hugs all))) have a lovely rest of your week! *poof*
11:41 pm
melonheadjujube

nef, it's been nice, but I won't or should not make it to the flip as I have water exercise tomorrow morning and a half-day of work in the pm.
11:42 pm
Nef

no crossing your leg over midline (but you can cross the "good one past midline); good posture. Driving may not be allowed (I couldn't drive for 6 weeks, it was my rt. hip also. Sleep with pillows between your legs
11:42 pm
Nef

bye, stid! Sleep tight!
11:44 pm
Nef

okay, melon. I'm heading off to bed myself. I may get a call from my dtr. during the night so I should sleep while I can.
11:46 pm
melonheadjujube

tx, nef. I heard a stationary bike will be good exercise. I'm a cyclist, and through all this, even though I can barely walk around the block I can still ride 20 miles! Floyd Landis is my hero.
