Good bonus indeed, Rose. Sorry to read that your fibromyalgia 's been playing up! Good to read about potential retirement due to d-i-l charging rent! I finally read back in that chog a few days ago!!
12:54 am
jillibus

t think I have the brains for this after our Friday night Happy Hour(s) which ended at almost fliptime.

12:56 am
grannyrose

thanx liz. i don't think i will ever be able to take on a 10 hour shift again. i'm going to stay mum, until my boss asks me about going back up to 10 hours. lol...the way things are, i will probably be about to retire before she remembers to ask me.
12:56 am
Lizlin

I recommend early retirement to everyone!

6:33 am
crosshair

yes,i think so,i am allowing it till the graduation ceremonies and the dispensing of the diploma,then he must get on with life
6:33 am
sprite

maybe you can email him, ruby? Tell him you may have rubbed eachother the wrong way during his visit, but that you want him to know how much you care for him?
6:34 am

I think after a busy period they deserve a bit of slouching, as long as it isn't permanent.
6:34 am
rubyfoo

I already wrote, neutrally, saying it was very quiet around here without him, pretending like nothing happened
6:34 am

yes,sounds like he was trying to run you life a tad on last visit ruby and he is a bit uncomfortable with the outcome
6:34 am

1:50 pm
Jillyjill

WTG mael!!
1:50 pm
crosshair

it is indeed a stepping stone
1:52 pm
crosshair

what has to vaish for it to evolve is the old "why should i have to pay for him?" attitude and once everyone understands that everyonw,rich,poor,working or not will one day need health care and problems treated in a timely manner are far cheaper than waiting till the last second due to lack of insurance,then and only then might it take hold there
1:53 pm
crosshair

we all pay for health care.it is just a matter of you can pay now or pay more later.we chose to pay with taxes on employment income and cover everyone ,no matter what
1:54 pm
Jillyjill

I know crossy, as a nurse, I know...have known for 33 years...
1:54 pm
crosshair

not to say it does not have it's own problems however
1:55 pm
Jillyjill

No system is perfect....
1:55 pm
crosshair

but people should not have to delay getting a small problem looked at until it becomes a very expensive big problem
1:55 pm
crosshair

no,none is
1:58 pm
crosshair

for example in our hospital that has not quite grown with the population here,we have 25 triage beds.now that sounds fine untill you find out that we do not have enough rooms for all,so 20 wait oh triage gurneys here and there for rooms to open up while 5 slots are open for actual emergency room,resulting in long waits at times,especially when the citiots come up here to ski and fill emerg with broken legs and wrists
1:58 pm
crosshair

now that spring is herewe will have almost no wait times
2:00 pm
Jillyjill

But again, ER wait times can be hours here as well...
2:01 pm
crosshair

but everyone gets treated even if you have been on the street for ten years and have not made a dime or held a job because health care is everyones duty
2:03 pm
Jillyjill

What amazes me is that in my faith, Catholic, tehre are those that do not see that; as much as our church teaches social justice.
2:03 pm
crosshair

crossy bows and gets off of soap box:)
2:03 pm
crosshair

it is amazing what people choose not to see,they will step over someone who cannot afford health insurance to slip a 100 dollar bill into the collection plate
2:04 pm
Jillyjill

True dat!
2:05 pm
crosshair

that is saying you love all,giving everyone health care is SHOWING that you speak with your actions
2:05 pm
crosshair

many will not agree,but i do not care
2:06 pm
Jillyjill

I LOVE, St Francis' words "Preach the Gospel at all times, when necessary, use words."
2:06 pm

my wife has a friend in PA who is almost totally deaf now because he could not afford medical insurance to get it looked at earlier.seems things have to be a large crisis before the free clinics or whatever they have will take him
2:07 pm

and by then does it now cost a whole lot more?
2:07 pm

ah 4/6! May I please have your attention? After feeling like a mo 5/12 with today's grid, I will now write a story of clues! Once up4/5 a time, there was this woman who was addicted to babbling.Even though she was far from being a Babble Ch4/7p, she still loved to play. Everyday after work, she would get ho 4/6 and dr 4/6 everything she was carrying, grab a bag of potato ch4/7s and start Babble for hours. Although her ch 5/14practor told her it was bad for her back to be in a sitting po 5/12ion for very long periods of time, she did so anyway. After this lady discovered Babble, she gave up several things. She gave up singing in a church ch 5/14 so she could Babble on Sunday mornings. She also gave up doing household ch 5/14s & hi 4/5d a cleaning company to clean for her so she could Babble. She stopped ir4/4ing her husband's clothes for work. Now he ir5/10 them instead.She gave up going to all of the so 6/18s hosted by her very ri 4/6 friends. She drea 5/14s of one day being able to attend a Babble meet-up. Husband has a di4/5 need to use the computer. I am going to go watch Mr. Holland's Op 4/6. Ch4/6 for now. I'll be back later on to help clue mo 4/5

We always head to our favorite Mexican food place for beer, chips and salsa and a free t-shirt.

I doubt much attention is paid to it in Ireland. Being as we border Mexico, it's a bit more prevalent here.

Yoga is interesting. I have no problem with people who do it because it meshes with their spirituality. But it's gotten as "trendy" as eating quinoa.
5:37 pm
pippingeek

funny, i like both those things, but mainly because they make me feel good
5:38 pm
MollyL

There is the difference Pip. And I bet your association with those two things has nothing to do with "what's hot".
5:38 pm
rururocks

yeah.. quinoa and yoga go together
5:38 pm
pippingeek

also true
5:40 pm
rururocks

quinoa sounds like it should go with a vodka tonic
5:41 pm
pippingeek

i think that would make the cocktail hard to suck through the straw
5:42 pm
MollyL

A vodka tonic with a straw? : O
5:42 pm
rururocks

don't put it past any vegetarians pippin :D
5:42 pm
pippingeek

i drink every cocktail through a straw
5:42 pm
pippingeek

but then i prefer shaken ones to stirred ones, so it's a different ingredient set
5:43 pm

Kentucky has been a hotbed of the sport of kings since at least the 18th century, but the Derby didn't begin until 1875. Colonel M. Lewis Clark, a grandson of the Lewis-and-Clark-expedition William Clark, needed a slate of races for his newly formed Louisville Jockey Club, so he decided to run three stakes races at the track's first meet. The races—the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and Clark Handicap—were named after England's three marquee races, the Epsom Derby, the Epsom Oaks, and the St. Leger Stakes. The first Derby was held May 17, 1875; Aristides beat the field. (Interestingly, both Aristides' trainer and jockey were both African Americans.)

7:34 pm

I make my own rice for Chinese food first and second time around. I don't care for the rice that comes out of the box in the shape of the box.
7:34 pm
pippingeek

7:35 pm
cosdem

i need to learn to make fried rice..i prefer white rice but i like the combo fried rice thing

11:03 pm
VYCanisMajoris

social unfairness of a few controlling and hijacking all the wealth at the expense of the vast majority
11:03 pm
KnightTime

Not the place to argue. Pay the money to have your own profile, then you can put what ever you want. The chog is not for this type of discussion
11:04 pm
VYCanisMajoris

right so instead of solving threatening problems, we'll retain the etiquette of a word game which has no bearing on anything but general nicety and exchange pleasantries
11:05 pm
