sorry, peach, the call of nature over-rode you.. i'm doing much better today. had a really good howl this morning, and as usual bounced right back. and dear friend? how are you?
2:08 am
sprite

good morning all.
*hugs* for rose. A good howl can do so much :)
2:09 am

dee?? how are you doing with the grid? you must be close now.

It is really rugged here, Rose.
2:10 am

2:10 am

humid heat - I hate it too. It is like carrying an elephant on your shoulders all day and night.
2:11 am
grannyrose

it also let DH know just how low i was, and how much pain i was in. i don't think he realises yet.
2:11 am
sprite

very important that he knows, rose.
2:12 am
grannyrose

sprite, i try to hold back..he is so caught up in the care of mother mac. i don't like to put more on his beautiful broad shoulders.
2:13 am
grannyrose

awww, peach. hope you have a fan on you, hun.and drink plenty of fluids, too
2:14 am
sprite

I so understand, rose. But it isn't the way to go. He needs to know where you are, so he can make the right choices when he needs to. And he wants to be there for you when you need him, it'd kill him to find out you held back.
2:14 am
gapeach

I agree with sprite, Rose. I'll bet he will be able to handle it just fine. He knows how much you have done for her and maybe he will be able to help you with her.
2:14 am

3:09 am
puglet

3:10 am

miss marple is a creation of Agatha Christie. Oldfashioned detective novels. Brillianty adapted for television. Miss Marple is an old spinster, who looks at life in a way she learned from watching small village life. She is adorable.

3:15 am

Here I put a damper on your guy's dream trip --so sorry
3:15 am
sprite

oh, I meant someone not having any insurance and no doctor... of course some people can have several hernias, alas. I so wish I could help.
3:16 am
sprite

pug, don't be sorry. There is room for happy dreaming and for sharing and support in babble, and it can all go together.
3:16 am
puglet

Thank you Sprite
3:17 am
sprite

*hugs* hun. Can you at least lie down? Rob had a hernia like that about two years ago and his doctor said to lie down when it hurt.
3:19 am
puglet

Yeah I can Sprite--but sometimes thats hurts worse
3:20 am
sprite

I hope you can find a way to visit a doctor somehow, pug... those darn things don't go away by themselves. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers and will ask for a solution, ok?

3:35 am
sprite

Ruby-I went to that site where you got your dogs from and that is a beautiful kennel there
3:43 am

3:44 am

I think the Mi-Pao chows are the most beautiful but that may just be my opinion.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

Martha Stweart had a Best in Show chow at Westminster and, although he was magnificently groomed, he wasn't as handsome/beautiful as ours
3:45 am
puglet

I love watching those dog shows
3:46 am
puglet

so you have reds now
3:46 am
rubyfoo

they call them red, but actually they have very little red on them, mostly blonde/beige, Brown with black on their faces
3:47 am
rubyfoo

I think breeding for black causes too many genetic problems
3:48 am
puglet

They did have some beautiful dogs there that they pictured but their kennel is the best I think Ive ever seen. Have you ever been there
3:48 am
rubyfoo

I have to go but will see you latyer. I hope you feel better, Puglet!!! xxox

I think it would be best if ruby answered that. I spent a couple of days with them and don't pretend to know the ins and outs. All I can say is they don't walk an easy road together.
3:52 am
puglet

It causes me to worry from some of the things she says
3:52 am
sprite

hehehe yes ruby is a bit birdlike. Very small and slender. Strong though, in many ways.
3:52 am
puglet

I dont know if he reads her mail so I havent said anything
3:52 am
sprite

I loved both ruby and her husband very much.
3:53 am
sprite

no, he doesn't read her emails. They have separate accounts.
3:53 am
grannyrose

okay, am back for a short while. dinner on, and cooking.bed made with fresh linen.
3:54 am
sprite

sounds good, rose. Multitasking, are you? :D
3:54 am
puglet

You are just a busy little bee there Rose
3:54 am
grannyrose

as usual, sprite...
3:54 am
puglet

what are you having for dinner
3:54 am
grannyrose

and pugs..
3:55 am
sprite

ever after my breakdown I haven't been able to multitask. But I am starting to be happy with doing one thing at a time. I approach it in Zen style now.
3:55 am
grannyrose

beef lsagne and salad...for all 3 of us.
3:55 am
sprite

yummy!
3:56 am
puglet

sounds good--I even think I can smell it coming through my window-lal
3:56 am
grannyrose

sprite, just ask Our Lord, as to what is the most impotant...
3:57 am
grannyrose

*important*....sigh... am so relaxed here
3:57 am
puglet

do you have to work tomorrow Rose
3:57 am
sprite

I should do that more, shouldn't I, rose. Realised in our talk recently that when I do, I ask for others.
3:57 am
puglet

Iam so glad for you Rose
3:58 am
sprite

that is great to hear, rose.
3:59 am
grannyrose

no, pugs...will let them know i am not allowed to drive...will probably throw a spanner in the works...
3:59 am
puglet

lets all just take a deep breath and exhale slowly and feel his presesnt among us
3:59 am
sprite

oh that is very good, rose. Well, you know what I mean... it is not good that you are in pain and all. But very good there is a strong reason you can't go to work. Your body needs re4, I think.
4:00 am
puglet

so you taking a leave from work then
4:00 am
grannyrose

sprite...please rest in the hands of Our Lord...so much more comfy...lol
4:00 am
sprite

oh pug... you know, I was just thinking, somewhere in the bible it says something about if we come together in his name, he will be there... and I thought, when we come together in babble, it works the same way. No need for physical nearness.
4:01 am
sprite

hehehe will do, rose.
4:01 am
puglet

thats right Sprite
4:01 am
grannyrose

pugs, going to ring both my return-to work officer and my unit manager...wonder what their responses will be...lol
4:01 am
puglet

Have you forgotten Sprite how to just let go sometimes
4:02 am
sprite

yeah I think I have, pug. Maybe I have never known. Am learning though.
4:02 am
puglet

well hopefully Rose they will be understanding
4:03 am
sprite

will be interesting, rose. Please keep us up to speed. Will hold both of them in my prayer as well. To the best possible outcome for all concerned.
4:03 am
grannyrose

pugs...they will most so certainly will haveto be...
4:04 am
puglet

do you know the serenity prayer Sprite? That is a good everyday prayer
4:04 am
grannyrose

sprite, with you and pugs with me...how can i fail...
4:04 am
sprite

oh yes, I know it, pug! It is a lovely one.
4:05 am
sprite

you can't, rose, and you won't. Even all by yourself you wouldn't. You are one of the strongest people I know.
4:06 am
puglet

Only you know your own body Rose and if it cant take the demands put upon you right now then its you that has to make the choices that are right for you
4:07 am
sprite

I second pug
4:08 am
puglet

There is a reason that God gave us pain
4:08 am
puglet

There is a reason that God gave us pain
4:09 am
sprite

I remember at my study, someone asked our teacher at some point why she had to suffer so much. And he said: "Imagine you didn't suffer at all. Imagine you were excluded from the suffering of this world. Now that would be really awful."
4:09 am
puglet

If you are having pain for like walking too much --its like hes saying "NO Rose too much or not yet""
4:11 am
puglet

Have either of you ladies read the book called The Shack?
4:11 am
sprite

no I haven't.
4:12 am
puglet

Its not a long story but it is so good--you got to read it
4:12 am
sprite

just looked it up, looks like a must-read.
Do you guys know the book and movie "Tuesdays with Morrie"?
4:12 am
puglet

no I dont
4:13 am
puglet

Rose must be making her calls
4:14 am
sprite

that is so beautiful. It is about a man, Mitch Albom, who is too busy in life to really live at all. He goes to visit an old teacher of his and finds him mortally ill. This teacher inspires him and many others to really live life. So beautiful.
4:14 am
grannyrose

sorry, my loves..bladder must be emptied...lots to act on from both of you. thanx
4:15 am
puglet

oh that sounds good Sprite---I will have to try and find it--wrote it down
4:15 am
sprite

oh don't say sorry, rose. Bladders rule the rhythm of conversations. Especially amongst women. :D
4:15 am
grannyrose

hmm, the shack...
4:17 am
grannyrose

pugs, the shack...by whom is it written ?
4:17 am
puglet

I dont remember Rose--I will have to look it up
4:17 am
puglet

Sprite might know she just looked it up
4:18 am
grannyrose

ahhh, okay. thanx pugs
4:18 am
sprite

by W.P. Young, rose
4:18 am
puglet

Its a very good story
4:18 am
grannyrose

ahhhh, thanx sprite
4:18 am
sprite

do you have an ereader, rose?
4:19 am
grannyrose

no, sprite.,
4:19 am
puglet

I dont know what that is so I guess I dont either
4:21 am
sprite

it is kind of an electronic book. You can put files on it and read them on the screen. I found the book file for the Shack.
4:23 am
puglet

does it feel like holding a book and can you smell the paper and does it hold the same excitement as turning the page?lol
4:24 am
grannyrose

sprite...know what you are referring to!! i would rather read a book in hard copy. call me weird...not a problem
4:24 am
sprite

lol pug, no. The newest ones do have covers that feel like holding a book. But no to the rest. It doesn't replace loving books. But it is a wonderful way to be able to read everywhere, have lots and lots of books and to share them easily.
4:25 am
sprite

I call you weird, rose. Lovely weird. Wouldn't have you any other way.
4:25 am
puglet

Sprite is our electronic Queen! She will teach us all the newest things out there-lol
4:25 am
sprite

*grin* just hoped I could share the book with you.
4:26 am
puglet

hugs Sprite! I didnt mean to urt your feelings
4:26 am
puglet

(hurt)
4:26 am
grannyrose

okay, sprite...
4:27 am
sprite

silly, you didn't hurt my feelings at all!
4:27 am
ivesy3

i think the last name of the author for the shack is young..... also there is a book called the shack revisited
4:28 am
sprite

yes, W.P. Young. Hiya ivesy :)
Tuesdays with Morry is written by Mitch Albom. You will love it.
4:28 am
puglet

I havent read that one--Is it as good
4:28 am
grannyrose

now our dinner is ready... see you tomorrow. xoxoxox to you all
4:28 am
puglet

Hi Ivesy
4:28 am
ivesy3

havent read it yet, i just heard of it yesterday. i dont think its the same author though, which is strange
4:29 am
puglet

night Rose--hugs back
4:29 am
ivesy3

oh my bad, it is the same author
4:30 am
puglet

did you read the shack Ivesy
4:30 am
ivesy3

oh yes.. i thought it was great! and you?
4:30 am
sprite

pug: it seems to be very different from the Shack. It takes you to the bible's proof of the trinity. Some call it a bible school in a book.
4:31 am
puglet

oh yes--it was so good I bought several and sent them out
4:31 am
ivesy3

i really enjoy christian reading.. has anyone read books by nancy moser.. book called the lottery and a couple sequels to it.. very good
4:32 am
puglet

now I havent
4:32 am
puglet

thanks Sprite--that thing is nice
4:33 am
puglet

I meant no I havent
4:34 am
sprite

I just read a christian book that I didn't like at all... so judgmental and highhanded. Scary, actually.
4:34 am
puglet

I read all the left behind books and Iam not real sure what I feel coming from them
4:35 am
puglet

what was it Sprite
4:35 am
sprite

am trying to remember... will be able to soon
4:35 am
ivesy3

i read those too pug... intersting but dry at time
4:36 am
ivesy3

ok, time for my mother and son coffee trip to tim hortons.. bbl, have a good day/night all!
4:36 am
puglet

yes some where--I think the first 2 or 3 were the best
4:37 am
puglet

enjoy and bye Ive
4:37 am
sprite

I remember. This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti.
4:38 am
sprite

bye ivesy, have a good one!
4:38 am
puglet

Sprite is that ereader like a kindle I see on like Amazon?
4:39 am
sprite

yes, a kindle is one brand of ereader.
4:39 am
puglet

can you see the writing really good or is it very small wording
4:40 am
sprite

you can even adjust the font size to your liking.
4:41 am
puglet

oh that would be nice since the smaller prints is getting to be too much for my aging eyes-lol
4:42 am
puglet

Is getting the books on there cheaper then the real thing
4:42 am
sprite

yes, much cheaper. And you can get lots for free as well.
4:43 am
puglet

I might have to check more into them
4:44 am
puglet

I enjoy reading outdoors--does the outside light effect the screen
4:44 am
sprite

yeah and maybe ask around among your friends. Some people want to have a newer one or a smarter one and are willing to give away their old one.
4:45 am
sprite

I have a very simple one, pug, and I can set the backlight to a higher intensity when I am outdoors. It has 3 or 4 settings for that. The newer ones are even better.
4:45 am
puglet

Sprite does it hook to the internet or what
4:46 am
sprite

yes, you can simply connect it to your computer and copy files to it.
4:46 am
puglet

simple is what I like--lol
4:46 am
sprite

same for me. Simple is nice :)
4:46 am
puglet

thank you Sprite for explaining things to me
4:48 am
puglet

You and Rose seem so smart!
4:49 am
sprite

My ereader is an Archos 70. Very simple, but perfect for my needs. Not expensive either.
Lol, yeah, 'seem' being the operative word in my case. Just experience, pug. Feel free to ask anytime.
4:50 am
puglet

did you buy yours off line
4:50 am
sprite

yes I did.
4:51 am
puglet

I find alot of things much cheaper online then in our local stores
4:52 am
sprite

absolutely.It is the same here.
4:52 am
puglet

did you buy new or used
4:53 am
puglet

Ive seen used ones on Amazon
4:53 am
sprite

I bought a new one.
4:53 am
sprite

oh great! Check them out, I think you would enjoy having one.
4:54 am
puglet

I most certainly will Sprite and once again thanks
4:54 am
sprite

my pleasure :)
4:59 am
puglet

You know Sprite Iam feeling so much better now
5:00 am

oh I am so happy to hear that!

5:03 am

crosshair is a wonderful source of information about ereaders too, pug, and also a great source of free ebooks. Ask either of us for a book you want, once you have a reader, and we will try and find it for you.
5:03 am
puglet

server cut me off
5:03 am

nah, just the normal hiccup at 5 am grid time, don't worry. It is the time the statistics etc reset.
5:04 am

5:04 am

Turns out he's still in contact with someone I ask him not to be.
6:26 am

uh oh
6:26 am

*asked
6:27 am
rubyfoo

my husband and I have been married since Dec '97 and he still hears from his previous wife. The difference is, I don't care
6:28 am

hello
6:28 am

Oh, this is someone who actively wants him in her life.
6:28 am

hello fan
6:28 am

hi ruby
6:29 am
Jellen

Hi, MLF
6:29 am
MLFAN17

hi Jellen
6:29 am
rubyfoo

pretend she's not there and maybe she'll just disappear.....
6:29 am
Jellen

Am I being too insecure?
6:29 am
rubyfoo

but if you discuss it, she'll gain importance
6:30 am
hurshy

when you asked him not to be in contact with her, had he agreed?
6:30 am
Jellen

Yes, I thought so.
6:30 am
rubyfoo

but the days when she contacts him, go and hang out with your friends
6:30 am
rubyfoo

pretend it didn't happen.
6:31 am
rubyfoo

don't let him discuss it
6:31 am
hurshy

well if you agree on stuff then he should keep to it. if he doesn't really agree and he agrees on the outside but doesn't inside and then doesn't go along, then that isn't going to work, if he does that on other thing, that is an unhealthy relationship pattern.
6:32 am
hurshy

honesty, straightforward, clear dealing, these things are important.
6:32 am
BzznBea

Maybe he just doesn't know how to tell her to go away.
6:32 am
Jellen

I think that's what is upsetting me, hurshy.
6:32 am
MLFAN17

First column N?
6:33 am
hurshy

so make sure he knows that, that it isn't so much about her as about the honesty and that if he is just having issues because it's hard to hurt someone's feelings, as bea said, you understand that, and you're willing to help him think of ways and there's latitude there.
6:33 am
BzznBea

Good, hurshy.

in 19-oh-something there was a man put in a prison cell when a volcano erupted and then everyone on the island was killed except him, he peed on his clothes and stuffed them in the air holes and that kept the air inside cool enough that he survived for the few days until someone else came and got him out. and now nobody knows what his crime was because everyone who knew was killed.

And I spelled it right, so no controversy. What did you all think of the kid who was denied his answer on Jeopardy because it was spelled wrong?
8:04 am
Anniebrook

didnt see that program...what was the word?
8:04 am
Trifioso

oh, molly, secondo was SO UPSET over that! also, I told ALL the kids at my tutoring center about it, lest they think spelling doesn't matter
8:05 am
MollyL

The word was emancipation. And Trif, the rules for Final Jeopardy clearly state that the answer has to be spelled correctly.
8:06 am
Trifioso

they could have given him a break, it was a CHILD, and he was going to come in second anyway....
8:06 am
ladycece920

i agree Trif, geesh, i was pleased he got the correct answer
8:08 am
Trifioso

and he was so upset. you just know for the remainder of his life he will be plagued with aholes at school asking him "how do you spell it?"----like THEY could
8:09 am

that's a shame

so true

8:13 am

I've read a lot of heated discussions about the Jeopardy thing. One the one hand, there is what Trif is saying. On the other hand, do we teach kids that spelling doesn't matter?
8:14 am
Trifioso

do the people who come in second get to keep the money?
8:15 am
MollyL

Second place winners get a $2000 dollar consolation prize. And he was going to come in second, right or wrong.
8:17 am

also he people who agree to be on those shows know they may win or lose--was this kid pushed by his folks, as so many young prodegies are? did he really make a choice to be on?

his folks seemed nice enough. I saw the mom try to comfort him during the closing credits, but he was having NONE of it.

I'm finding I'm forgetting all the plurals here. Either I've entered just the singular word OR just the pl. That's nearly doubled my words now
11:58 am

thanks for the clue, Molly. Why would spiked hair erase that image of me?
11:58 am

ty nef just went back and found some too
12:00 pm

Because spiked hair is far from conservative.

12:01 pm

LOL! It isn't a 12 inch high Mohawk spiked look! It's a "conservative" spike. ;-)
12:03 pm
MollyL

Nef, I think conservative spike is an oxymoron. But I'll take your word for it. : D
12:04 pm
Nef

My hair is between 2 & 3 inches long; the spikes are softer sometimes than others and they are smaller than in my icon too
12:06 pm

soft spikes?

Yep. I rarely stab DH with them. ;-)

I think so and during the magic show, one Mom just exposed her breasts and was nursing. and this kid wasn't a baby. I thing the magician probably had a cow

I will also refrain from comment on militant, breast exposing, nursing mothers of toddlers. I take enough flak here as it is.
3:33 pm

When my eldest was about 7 or 8, he watched a documentary about breast-feeding. He looked at me, utterly horrified, and said, 'Please tell me you didn't breast-eat me'. I happily reassured him.

3:40 pm

This was a mixed audience.
3:42 pm
MollyL

I have no problem with breast feeding. I have no problem with breast feeding in public, as long as it is done discretely. I do wonder about women who expose a mostly bare breast to feed their child in public. There are other ways to do this that don't make people uncomfortable.
3:42 pm
bichon

I also think that by almost two, a child can wait to be fed.
3:43 pm
MollyL

By almost two, a child can feed themself.
3:44 pm

Did I offend Penquis?

I hope not. And I hope that someday, people can express an opinion in this chat, without it turning into an offense thing.

seemed a natural for a book doctor
8:51 pm

do i need to look up a movie called pagemaster?
8:53 pm

na, kids flic, you popped up as I started it so if prompted a lame joke
8:53 pm

well, i can do minor repairs, sure, but before i was a bookdealer i was a book doctor
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and i still write and edit a little now and then
8:56 pm
joso

do you have an editorial specialty?
8:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yep, unitarian universalism
8:57 pm
joso

thats pretty specific
8:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yep, that's why i'm broke lol
8:58 pm
joso

me too, and I don't edit anything
8:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i'm self publlished, two books for and about UUism, as we call it for short
8:59 pm

I can see the need for a short form
8:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

also published by "real" publishers, but that was a while ago
9:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

one of the folks who was around at the time of consolidation (1961) said our name was as easy to say and rhinoseros hippopotamus . . .
9:06 pm

don't get pagemaster, sucks

9:09 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i've been watching dvds of star trek voyager. i promise not to fill up the chat with star trek chat, i'm not a serious trekker
9:11 pm
joso

voyager was much better than the other 2 sequel series, almost as good as the original
9:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

imo, best of all the treks
9:14 pm
joso

imo?
9:14 pm
rururocks

i just don't see the fascination with Star Trek..
9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

mainly because they are stuck on the far side of the galaxy therefore no idiot admirals to show up and give them idiot orders. plus, all the smartest characters are women (plus tuvok)
9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

imo = in my opinion
9:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

the one "token white male" character is kind of a jerk, and later becomes the nurse. ha ha
9:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

star trek was highly innovative (i'm referring to the original series from the 1960s) and i say that while not being a big fan
9:17 pm
joso

still like the original best, inviting submissions from many writers kept it fresh, and I liked the camaraderie the lead characters had, just didn't like kirk
9:17 pm
penquis

DS9 was my favorite...
9:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

joso, exactly! kirk was supremely annoying, most of the time, imo
9:18 pm
rururocks

the hammiest actor of all time
9:19 pm
joso

I thought ds9 had a strong start, placed in a very interesting situation, then blew it.
9:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i watched a lot of star trek growing up, having an older brother who was a fan. i just ignored kirk and watched spock lol
9:21 pm
penquis

i think DS9 went through a rough middle patch but picked up... i liked it because it had a little more depth....and somewhat of a longterm storyline...
9:21 pm
joso

I had to fight my brothers to see it, one wanted I love lucy and the other wanted any sport show
9:22 pm
penquis

the only trek series i did not like much was Enterprise...
9:22 pm
joso

back in the time when a house had one tv
9:23 pm
rururocks

we had one tv growing up too
9:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i enjoyed ds9 a little bit, but overall is was dark and depressing to watch
9:23 pm
penquis

same here
9:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i love lucy or sports? wow.
9:24 pm
joso

3 very different brothers
9:24 pm
rururocks

that's a tough call
9:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i can see that lol
9:25 pm
rururocks

I guess it depended on which brother was biggest ?
9:25 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

every once in a while jeffrey combs would guest star, then i would be interested in ds9 or enterprise
9:25 pm
penquis

ouuu....he was very good...
9:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

he was on voyager once, playing a character so nasty i wanted to shoot him. he's good at that lol
9:26 pm
joso

flip of the coin, and who got to the tv first
9:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i would have to take lucy over sports, but not a big fan of either one . . .
9:29 pm

Hello again Everyone. I was here around noon today and doing well, but then my daughter called and needed to go in for Emergency dental surgery for an abscessed tooth. Now I'm back home and won't finish this again.
11:44 pm
Nef

They cut an incision in her mouth and drained it; but in less than a day it had also spread into her face and she also has a cellulitis with this infection.
11:45 pm
joso

jeees nef, sounds like one serious dental problem
11:46 pm
RoundBarn

sounds awful. Elle drove down with books, but she's at a friend's. She threw in a few words. her Babble name is Alembicc
11:46 pm
Nef

yeah. And to think she was at the dentist having work done on another tooth on Tuesday. :-(
11:46 pm
RoundBarn

alembic, from Tintin
11:46 pm

hello all. nef that is terrible.
11:47 pm
Nef

hi RB. How are you doing today?
11:48 pm
Nef

Between braces, abcesses, root canals, crowns and extractions, that kid has probably $50,000 in her mouth (and she's only 30).
11:49 pm
Nef

alembic from Tintin? Why does that sound familiar?
11:49 pm
grannyrose

good grief!!! do she have bad dental problems as a kid?
11:49 pm
RoundBarn

i had Elle walk around the house and photograph things I think are of value--among other activities. But now she's gone till tmr noon, so I'm doing Babble--far from done. But if I don't close down now, then I'm up too late--the new grid is always tempting!!

Both kids inherited both mine and my DH's teeth problems: I had too many teeth in too small a space and DH has very weak enamel.

for awhile all my daughters were a team on another game, all had tintin names--Elle is still here as Alembic--forget which book--and Gillian sometimes comes out of lurk with a bit of wisdom, she's Rastopopolus. Again, which boo?
11:52 pm
Nef

hi nan, ruru, granny and all
11:52 pm
grannyrose

wouldn't you think they could have inherited something less expensive? like red hair, or green eyes?
11:54 pm
Nef

what game was that RB?
11:55 pm
Nef

Well, they didn't inherit DH's red hair but they did inherit my brown eyes, granny!
11:55 pm
RoundBarn

dont miss the front pages of last week and the week before and presumably this week, NYTimes, why our medical expenses are the highest in the world--but not necessarily our care. We need to get angry--and active. (Nef, I'll ask them)
11:57 pm
Nef

I will check that out, RB; that's sort of right up my alley. ;-)
11:58 pm
cybernan

hi stid - how did the appliance shopping go?
11:59 pm

The articles give statistics, compare countries, says simple colonoscopies are driving up our costs, and explains why
11:59 pm

Thanks for the info, RB
