I wouldn't mind a clue for the lone E on the left -- ed 5/14, I guess

1:37 am

sprite

*hugs jiilli and pug and rose and joso*
A little bit better today, rose, thanks. And you all?

1:38 am

jillibus

were you ill, sprite?

1:38 am

sprite

butt shower, jill

1:38 am

puglet

I hate asking for clues when its so early and others are just now starting

1:38 am

grannyrose

after yesterday, with the surgeon yanking my knee around, shocking night. today keeping the pain meds happening, so good.

1:38 am

puglet

Iam fine and dandy

1:39 am

sprite

jilli: just diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol, trying to get the medication right. It is a bit of a mess right now.

1:39 am

jillibus

and rose, my shoulder is much much better today

1:39 am

sprite

good to hear, pug :)

1:39 am

puglet

what was shocking Rose

1:39 am

grannyrose

yes, jilli, ed5, alternative spelling for swelling.

1:40 am

sprite

oh yeah, the butt shower is en, not ed. Still early here... sorry.

1:40 am

puglet

You still feeling tired Sprite

1:40 am

grannyrose

pugs,knee throbbed all night. couldn't sleep properly. and i was burning up. usual reaction of my body to pain.

1:40 am

sprite

yeah, very tired, pug. Even told my children I wouldn't get up with them today and I slept in till 8.30 am.

1:41 am

jillibus

oh sprite, that's a bummer. My sis-in-law got diagnosed a couple of years ago with diabetes and had a very hard time finding the balance. I hope you'll have better luck.

1:41 am

jillibus

ty granny

1:41 am

sprite

oh dear, very uncomfortable, rose :( *Sends gentle healing vibes*

1:41 am

puglet

are you still running a fever or are you talking about hot flashes-lol

1:41 am

joso

ah glad that was a clue, not a symptom sprite, how do you console someone for butt showers

1:42 am

sprite

I hope so too, jilli, but not optimistic there... I have an eating disorder and trouble moving due to physical handicaps. I have enlisted prof. help.

1:42 am

grannyrose

thanx sprite, but i am very concerned for you. did you med get changed at your last appointment?

1:42 am

sprite

almost impossible, joso, lollll

1:43 am

sprite

rose: yes. Double dose now. The doctor said we will check again next time and if it is not good, we go higher still. Am now on 1000/day and she said we might even go to 3000/day.

1:43 am

jillibus

phant -- employer

1:44 am

sprite

argh yes, good one jilli

1:44 am

joso

is the blood presure ok sprite

1:44 am

grannyrose

pugs, because of fibromyalgia, my body-temperature control system is out of kilter. when i have acute pain, my body burns, temperature goes up, and skin is very hot to touch. then the painkillers kick in, and i usually go back to sleep.

1:44 am

sprite

joso: yes, it is :)

1:44 am

puglet

Sprite is it the meds making you so tired or the sugar being so high

1:45 am

jillibus

and rolodex is not in the dictionary :(

1:45 am

sprite

I don't know, pug. I would say the meds. Can't really imagine the sugar influencing me so much all of a sudden, since I haven't had symptoms before.

1:45 am

puglet

Is your knee now swollen Rose

1:45 am

grannyrose

um, sprite. i know your BSL was high, but now you are saying how tired you feel. that is a symptom of LOW blood sugar. i think an early check would not go astray.

1:45 am

sprite

capitalised, no doubt. Darn. Would have been a beauty, jilli!

1:45 am

joso

hi sugar, makes you sleepy

1:46 am

puglet

Well if this dose is making you so tired what is it going to do when they jack it up more

1:46 am

sprite

was reading up on symptoms yesterday and it said being sleepy and tired are symptoms of a high, not a low... am I wrong?

1:46 am

joso

low sugar makes you dizzy, sweaty, confused, then dead

1:47 am

grannyrose

both, sprite. and seeing as how your meds were doubled, it could have been too much.

1:47 am

puglet

really it can go either--alots depends on the person

1:47 am

joso

you are right sprite

1:47 am

sprite

hm, checking: dizzy yes, sweaty no, confused always, dead not yet.

1:48 am

sprite

hm ok, will keep an eye on things. If today is like yesterday, I will call the doc.

1:48 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite, something has changed...you need to check your blood sugars.

1:48 am

puglet

I wish they would teach you on how to test yourself--not doing so could be dangerous ..because you dont know if you are high or low

1:48 am

sprite

guess I should buy a self check thing anyway then.

1:49 am

joso

that's why you should have some hard candy on hand, if sugar very low get a boost before the heart has no fuel

1:49 am

grannyrose

aha....sprite, do have some barley sugar in the house? or orange juice and white sugar?

1:50 am

joso

mine is werthers original, just sitting in my pocker tempting me

1:51 am

grannyrose

sprite, are you still with us?

1:52 am

puglet

Rose isnt it strange that her doctor is not monoring her better with all the changes going on in her body right now

1:52 am

sprite

no barley sugar, I think. Or is that grape sugar?

1:52 am

grannyrose

pugs, i am concerned.

1:52 am

sprite

oh lol joso, that is SO dutch!

1:53 am

joso

type 2 is not really an urgent problem, long term pain in the but

1:53 am

joso

butt

1:53 am

sprite

ok dear ones, I just ordered a blood sugar checker. I will keep an eye on things. Between 6 and 7 is normal, right? Below 4 is dangerous, over 10 does damage.

1:54 am

puglet

Me too---her being new to this and them playing with med dosages its not really safe for her to be alone

1:55 am

joso

persistant over 10, your doc probably happy with an 8 average

1:55 am

puglet

I dont know what your usual number is Sprite--it veries for each person

1:55 am

grannyrose

sprite, mix a teaspoon of sugar into a glass of fruit juice. if you feel better after drinking it, you blood sugar is too low. if there is no change, or you feel more tired, your blood sugar is still high.

1:55 am

sprite

ok rose... but if it is too high, doesn't that boost it even further?

1:56 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite, but it takes longer to lose consciousness with high sugars, low sugars it is very quick

1:56 am

sprite

I gave in to the sleepiness yesterday, slept like a dead marmot, then was very thirsty so thought sugar might be high and I did some exercise. That kind of helped.

1:57 am

puglet

it will but not bad Sprite--if its high drinking water to flush it out will help

1:57 am

joso

varries alot through the day, just before and after meals, waking, exercise, phase of the moon.

1:57 am

sprite

ok dear friends. Don't worry, I will be ok.

1:58 am

joso

yes, counter intuitive, but if sleepy, exercise

1:58 am

sprite

will remember that, joso

1:58 am

puglet

I am worried! I dont think your doctor is montoring you very well or giving you the knowledge you need

1:59 am

joso

of coarse you still need sleep, so sleepy can mean you need.... sleep

1:59 am

puglet

if you go too low you can go into a diabetic coma or too high can lead into a stroke

2:00 am

sprite

it is still early days, pug. I never had symptoms before. And I think the doctor doesn't want to bombard me with stuff. I have flyers now, that inform me of most facts, a food guide, and meds. Will go back to doctor tomorrow.

2:00 am

sprite

sorry, not tomorrow, next week

2:01 am

joso

if you are consistantly thirsty, slightly salty lips, and peeing alot, blood sugar high and sugar is being forced out through your kidney, not good.

2:01 am

jillibus

nbt

2:01 am

sprite

pug: I don't think there is a chance of such a low yet. We are still trying to get it down.

2:01 am

joso

congrats jilli

2:01 am

jillibus

sprite, I'm glad you have all these helpers here!

2:01 am

puglet

well you should tell your doctor how tire you are becoming

2:02 am

puglet

w2g Jilli

2:02 am

sprite

ok joso, that is clear as well. I think I have more trouble with the side effects of the meds than with the sugar.

2:02 am

grannyrose

sprite, while you are waiting for delivery of blood sugar monitor, you can purchase test strips from the chemist, which you can use to test your pee.

2:02 am

sprite

me too, jilli :) Babble friends are priceless.

2:02 am

joso

low is unlikely, really only if you overdo the exercise

2:02 am

sprite

good job, jilli!

2:02 am

grannyrose

yay, jilli, nice job

2:02 am

jillibus

ty joso. And that's it for me tonight -- bed beckons. Take care, Sprite, and farewell all...*poof

2:03 am

sprite

no chance of that then, joso, I am too limited physically to get to that point.

2:03 am

sprite

night jilli, sleep well and dream even better

2:03 am

grannyrose

night, jilli. sweet dreams, hun. enjoy the new tele and desktop.

2:04 am

puglet

Rose is it today you go back to the doctor

2:04 am

joso

g'nite jilly, rest well

2:04 am

puglet

opps it will be your tomorrow

2:04 am

grannyrose

pugs had 3D x-ray of pelvis, hips, knees and ankles today. see surgeon next week.

2:05 am

sprite

any reactions from work or back-to-work or work cover yet, rose?

2:05 am

puglet

did you get the reading of the xrays or you have to wait

2:06 am

grannyrose

nope, sprite. the screaming ( from workcover and/or bosses) will start next week. lol

2:06 am

sprite

lol rose. As long as they scream: we are so sorry! We will do all we can to help you!

2:07 am

grannyrose

pugs, i have to wait. these were to make sure the prosthesis is still in good alignment. which means i may only need a ligament repair...

2:08 am

puglet

its not like you asked for this or that the money is coming from their pockets and plus you have paid into it incase something like this comes up

2:09 am

sprite

*keeps fingers crossed for rose and types with elbows*

2:10 am

grannyrose

*giggle* you should have heard my return-to-work co-ordinator. she was swearing so bad, because of what i am going through. she says she would like to get her hands around the neck of the environmental person, who left a wet, slippery floor unsigned, and unattended.

2:10 am

sprite

woooot rose. Good lady, that.

2:11 am

joso

always nice to be wanted

2:11 am

puglet

tearing ligs. can be as nasty as a break..I know because as a teenager I tore mine in my right leg going down a flight of stairs

2:12 am

puglet

I was in a cast for 6 weeks

2:12 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite. she is so straight down the middle. can see what's fair for the worker, and what's fair for the business.

2:12 am

joso

never broke a bone, tore anything, the advatages of being a nerd

2:12 am

sprite

that is perfect, rose.

2:12 am

sprite

pug: that wasn't fun for you

2:13 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite. and she takes the time to talk to the worker, makes sure they are getting all the support that is fair and reasonable.

2:14 am

joso

sounds like a gem gran

2:14 am

sprite

very good. At least there is someone there who sees your side of things clearly.

2:14 am

puglet

no it wasent and the doctor was upset I waited a few days before going. I thought I had just twisted my ankle

2:14 am

grannyrose

aww, poor pugs. was it the achilles tendon, or a tendon in your knee?

2:15 am

joso

did they make a fuss at school over the cast?

2:15 am

puglet

it wasent the knee Rose

2:15 am

grannyrose

joso, sprite, to have someone like her by your side is immensely comforting. can't tell how many times i wept on her shoulder.

2:15 am

marigold

8i

2:16 am

grannyrose

g'day marigold

2:16 am

joso

6q

2:16 am

puglet

thats nice you have someone like that in your corner Rose

2:16 am

grannyrose

pugs, lower in your leg, behind the ankle?

2:17 am

puglet

Rose Iam not sure--I was thinking between the knee and the ankle--I was cast from below the knee and over the foot

2:18 am

puglet

my whole leg was black by the time I got to the doctor

2:18 am

grannyrose

yup, pugs. achilles tendon. that must have been one heck of a tumble you took. poor pugs.

2:19 am

sprite

must have hurt badly

2:20 am

puglet

I was babysitting and went to answer the phone and thought I could skip a couple of steps and when I came down my ankle went to the side

2:20 am

grannyrose

oohhh, ouch!!

2:20 am

puglet

it took my breath away and I didnt make it to the phone--lol

2:21 am

joso

we got to watch you pug, thier are times for a good british stiff upper lip, and times to scream I WANT MY MOMMY. you seem to shy away for screaming a bit too much. Have you looked into cortozone pills yet

2:22 am

sprite

hear hear, joso.

2:22 am

puglet

no Joso not yet

2:23 am

joso

you still have joint pain

2:23 am

puglet

Iam a redhead and light skinned and a bruise on me is like neon lights in the night-lol

2:23 am

sprite

glucasamine chondritine. Order them... now :)

2:23 am

puglet

of course Joso --Iam aging-lol

2:24 am

joso

see, we have to keep on top of this one ladies

2:24 am

puglet

you should of seen the bruising on my body when my horse fell with me on the blacktop road

2:24 am

sprite

for a sec I read you had to keep on top of us ladies. Then I blinked.

2:25 am

joso

well that sounds like fun too

2:25 am

joso

;-)

2:25 am

puglet

lol Sprite! you are sounding like Ruru

2:25 am

sprite

must have been spectacular. A horse stepped on my daughter's knee, thank God on a sandy path. It was twice as thick and more colours than we could count.

2:25 am

sprite

*grin*

2:26 am

sprite

ruru and I usually have lots of fun punning around.

2:26 am

puglet

I think thats the only time I came close to looking like I had a tan-lol

2:26 am

joso

I would hope you where on top pug, the other way is very awkward

2:27 am

puglet

Rose gives him a run for his money too

2:27 am

sprite

hehehe indeed

2:28 am

puglet

well Joso thats how it started out

2:29 am

grannyrose

aww, stop it, you're making my head swell. lolol

2:30 am

sprite

that is good, rose, it will go together nicely with your knee then ;)

2:30 am

grannyrose

roflol, sprite. gee, thanx

2:30 am

sprite

:D

2:30 am

puglet

giggle

2:30 am

puglet

giggle

2:31 am

puglet

plus dont forget she gets feverish too with the swelling

2:31 am

grannyrose

2:32 am

puglet

2:32 am

sprite

or together

2:32 am

joso

2:33 am

puglet

hehe

2:33 am

Trifioso

joso

2:33 am

puglet

Hi Tri--long time no see

2:33 am

sprite

hiya Triffles! *huggles*

2:33 am

Trifioso

can't sleep, might as well babble

2:33 am

grannyrose

not the one in your kitchen, sprite?

2:34 am

sprite

the very one

2:34 am

sprite

Trif, sorry you can't sleep, but happy to see you

2:34 am

grannyrose

*tickle, tickle*

2:34 am

Trifioso

thanks

2:34 am

sprite

*snorts fire*

2:35 am

grannyrose

trif, do you have something on your mnd? we're here to listen, hun

2:35 am

Trifioso

dont i always? its okay, think I will keep my own counsel....if you don't mind?

2:36 am

grannyrose

np'strif. whenever you are ready.

2:36 am

sprite

no, don't mind, Trif. Talk if you want and we will listen. Don't talk and we will keep you company.

2:37 am

puglet

whatever it is hugs to know we are here and care

2:38 am

Trifioso

thanks. I just feel like what gets typed in the chog is eternal, you know?

2:39 am

grannyrose

yes i know, it comes back to bite you, right?

2:39 am

sprite

ah yes, that is true. Though hardly checked back on, but still. If you want to get something off your chest, please feel free to email me... addy in profile...

2:39 am

Trifioso

its just there forever, for anyone to read

2:40 am

grannyrose

ditto, trif. can always chat via email.

2:40 am

joso

true, and you don't know me,

2:40 am

sprite

I vouch for joso. 100%

2:41 am

Trifioso

general question, no details: how to you tell a house guest, in the gentlest way possible, that it is time to hit the road?

2:41 am

Haz1558

Strip the bed of sheets and hide all other bed linen.

2:41 am

joso

tnx sprite, but that is something i think time is needed for, and there may be lurkers

2:42 am

sprite

I really enjoyed your staying with us, but I feel the need to be all by myself again.

2:42 am

grannyrose

oh dear. is this 'guest' a sort of boarder, supposedly looking for other accommodation?

2:42 am

Haz1558

And good morning/evening all.

2:42 am

sprite

roflol Haz :D

2:42 am

joso

I'm not known for gentle

2:43 am

joso

hi haz

2:43 am

Trifioso

but then the tale of woe begins anew....I have no where else to go....my car is broken.....i feel so comfortable here.....

2:43 am

sprite

*and to make it easier for you, I already packed your bag*

2:43 am

Trifioso

subtle, sprite! hahaha

2:43 am

puglet

I just talk and dont think about whos reading it or lurking. Someone might have the same problem and is afraid to air it so if it helps someone then it does.

2:44 am

grannyrose

haz, could you say, would you like me to go with you to the realtor to see if we can find somewhere for you?

2:44 am

sprite

ah, a tale of woe. No way of breaking that gently. I think honesty would be best. "I really understand things are hard for you and I was happy to help you out for a while, but now I really need to be alone again."

2:44 am

Trifioso

thanks all. good advice all around.

2:44 am

puglet

could you get them a place and like pay amonths rent to get them started

2:44 am

Haz1558

Or you could have someone else lined up for the room?

2:44 am

joso

far to subtle, how about if you don't get that grayhound won't you miss your luggage?

2:45 am

grannyrose

or do what my parents did, had a newborn, brought it home, said newborn was a screamer. boarders moved out very quickly.

2:45 am

sprite

I like Haz's and joso's suggestions though :)

2:45 am

puglet

Hi Haz

2:45 am

sprite

as they say in dutch: fish and guests stay fresh only for 3 days.

2:46 am

Trifioso

hes on my couch, so no room to address. I actually could stand him staying a bit longer. Valentine is furious that I have had this guy staying for so long as it is. (its an old high school friend that came into town - NO sexual history, and valentine isn't usually jealous, but he has had it, apparently. And thus a HOST of other issues come into play).

puglet

Is this a good friend of yours Tri

2:46 am

Trifioso

we have that expression too, sprite :)

2:46 am

sprite

not sure Trif would be willing to have a newborn for this. Throwing out a house guest to make room for one that will stay at least 18 years.... nah.

2:46 am

ursh

lol sprite here we say "fish and visitors spoil after three days"

2:47 am

sprite

hehehe that is nice, to know it is an international saying

2:47 am

Haz1558

How long has he been sleeping on the couch?

2:47 am

puglet

Hi ya ursh

2:47 am

ursh

hi all

2:48 am

sprite

hiya ursh :)

2:48 am

Trifioso

since sunday night. valentine met him, and they got along very well. valentine went home monday morning, friend has been here ever since.

2:48 am

grannyrose

ohh, trif, he really needs to move on...couldn't you start playing music, very LOUDLY. and explain this normal, but i haven't been able to play my music like this since you moved in.

2:48 am

sprite

well, it IS a weird situation where your love isn't staying and some relative stranger is.

2:48 am

Trifioso

I agree, I could use him moving on. Its been a long enough visit.

2:49 am

Trifioso

but he isn't a stranger to ME sprite. I love him like a brother, and that is ALL.

2:49 am

Trifioso

if it WAS my brother, valentine wouldn't be having these issues....

2:49 am

Trifioso

why should I have to boot a friend out before I am ready, just because valentine is having a tantrum that is TOTALLY unfounded?

2:50 am

sprite

honesty, then. Tell him: I love you like a brother and I was happy to let you stay for a bit, but it is putting pressure on my relationship with Valentine and I have to ask you to find another place to stay.

2:50 am

Haz1558

I think there needs to be a definite time limit to be set so that he knows he has to be away by tomorrow evening, for instance. Just be honest with him.

2:50 am

sprite

yep, what Haz says.

2:50 am

puglet

I say just be honest with him and explain that Val. isnt comfy with him there. If hes such a friend he should understand

2:50 am

Trifioso

ugh. this is hard. no matter what, I hurt/disappoint someone and i HATE that

2:51 am

Haz1558

Apart from Valentine's feelings, wouldn't you like your couch back?

2:51 am

grannyrose

well it's his own fault. you are not his mother....

2:51 am

sprite

Trif, it is impossible to move through life without doing that. Please remember that doing that is a result of people having expectations of you. That is their issue, not yours.

2:51 am

Trifioso

yes. yes I would. but I dont need it back right this second....

2:51 am

joso

Just set a time, a date, say friday or sunday. you don't want to toss him out on his ear, but there has to be an end, a time may well relieve the boyfriend too, just knowing there will be an end.

2:51 am

Trifioso

thanks sprite, but Im the one in the middle here.

2:52 am

grannyrose

aww, poor trif...

2:52 am

joso

and gives guest a bit of prep time

2:52 am

sprite

*hugs Trif*

2:52 am

grannyrose

aha, what about saying valentine is coming over and we need some privacy.

2:53 am

Trifioso

the thing is, valentine and I are supposed to be going to the cape this weekend to visit his mother, whilst the girls are on Brokeback Mountain (aka their dad's house). I figured this is ideal - friend can stay here to watch the dogs, valentine and I can go away. Well, I guess that wasn't good enough either. Valentine wants him out yesterday. sigh.

2:54 am

Trifioso

how do I say "you have to go so I can let the person I hired in to watch the dogs, in my empty house?"

2:54 am

sprite

I hear you say what Valentine wants and what the houseguest wants. But what do you want? You will feel best about it all if you are loyal to yourself.

2:54 am

grannyrose

trif, valentine is right, hun. no-one wants to share their loved one with another.

2:54 am

puglet

yeah hugs from me too--its not easy being in the middle like that. Ive been there before. Its going to have to be YOU that makes the choices.A real friend will understand

2:54 am

Haz1558

No, don't let him stay. Don't make him feel more needed than he really is.

2:55 am

Trifioso

valentines biggest concern is that a) friend will burn the house down smoking in bed or b) the girls, who NEVER spend the whole weekend with their dad, will come home and friend will be there, and how creepy is that?

2:55 am

sprite

pretty creepy, to be honest

2:55 am

Trifioso

you guys RULE at advice....just so you know

2:55 am

puglet

maybe he can stay with Valentine--lol

2:56 am

Haz1558

He might move in his own furniture while you're away and claim squatters' rights. Don't take the risk.

2:56 am

grannyrose

both valid points, trif. i'm sorry, hun. but from where i stand, your friend has to leave.

2:56 am

joso

and you've known this guy for years and trust him?

2:56 am

Trifioso

yes joso

2:57 am

Trifioso

wow, I guess I just totally misread this situation. thank god for you folks!!!

2:57 am

joso

and if Valentine was ok withit you would be happy to have him stay till sunday, actually a bit handy for going away for the weekend

2:58 am

puglet

Maybe Valentine is reading some vibes from this guy that you cant see

2:58 am

Haz1558

Could you have a not-so-subtle telephone conversation which he overhears in which you tell how you need for him to go but don't know how to move him on?

2:59 am

Haz1558

That way, if he's a real friend, he'll understand that he's causing you problems and will want to move on.

2:59 am

Trifioso

thats the rub - valentine is NOT okay with the situation, and said basically, "if friend is staying at your house for the weekend while we are away I will be so uncomfortable that we just wont go."

2:59 am

KatieMcG

I'm all for the direct approach, as awful as it would be, just explain that it has been lovely having him stay but it is time to go. At least it will be all out in the open.

2:59 am

Trifioso

so I feel a bit pissed that valentine is passive aggressively making decisions for me

3:00 am

Trifioso

I really feel a lot of resentment

3:00 am

sprite

then you should ask yourself: Do you trust Valentine's opinion? Because he may be picking up some vibes you are missing.

3:00 am

grannyrose

trif, something i do when faced with a particularly difficult decision. draw up 2 lists. the pro's and con's. then stand back and weigh them up.

3:01 am

sprite

yeah I hear you. But when you dig in your heels just because you don't want Val to manipulate you, you are still not doing what you want.

3:01 am

Trifioso

oh, good point!!!!

3:01 am

KatieMcG

if you took rose's route to decision making you could also point out to Valentine that you are making a reasoned decision and not giving in to his pressure, one way or the other.

3:02 am

Trifioso

good point katie,and rose

3:02 am

Haz1558

Include in your list of pros that the wise people of babble say he has to go.

3:03 am

Trifioso

hahah okay haz I surely will!

3:03 am

grannyrose

okay, trif you're off the hook. *hands trif paper and pen* go to it, hun.

3:03 am

KatieMcG

Yep Haz we do indeed :)

3:03 am

joso

I don't blame you, I think the big v is being unreasonable. Perhaps if you explane to friend that valentine is being a pain but you want to please him anyway, friend my voulunteer to go. does friend know the whole problem?

3:04 am

Trifioso

I had a very frank talk with friend after the fracas with valentine. he was sympathetic, but I am not sure he fully understands that he needs to shift it. now.

3:04 am

Haz1558

Then tell him.

3:04 am

sprite

that is not a good sign then, Trif. It makes clear he values his reasons to stay more than your reasons for wanting him to move on.

3:05 am

KatieMcG

I'm off to do some work, however Trif when you make the decision if you do decide he has to go (and personally I think he needs to) just front up and tell him it's time to leave.

3:05 am

joso

well, make it clear.

3:05 am

sprite

bye Katie, have a grand day

3:05 am

KatieMcG

Gosh Haz we are definitely on the same page on this one!

3:05 am

KatieMcG

Bye Sprite you too

3:05 am

Trifioso

bye katie, and thanks

3:06 am

Haz1558

Isn't it easy to give advice when (a) an ocean separates you from the problem and (b) you don't have to do the telling?

3:06 am

grannyrose

later, katie. and lovely to see you, hun

3:06 am

Trifioso

can we all chog about something else now? I am feeling just exhausted of the whole thing. no matter what, someone gets hurt.

3:06 am

Haz1558

Bye, Katie.

3:06 am

sprite

grin, yes it is. But still, it also gives us the objectivity to look at the problem unbiased.

3:07 am

Haz1558

Okay, Katie's gone so we can talk about her.

3:07 am

sprite

we can always talk about the weather or about food. Food would be good. I love food.

3:07 am

grannyrose

okay, well...my right big toe appears to have an ingrown nail...how's that for a change of subject?

3:07 am

joso

ok, pug looked around for some maintenence programs for you, nothing will work on a 98 machine anymore

3:07 am

Trifioso

oh no rose! those are SO painful!

3:08 am

mari

no you can't - her mother is still here :)

3:08 am

sprite

carefully dig it up, cut it off straight, and put a tiny piece of bandage over the spot under the nail so it won't grow back in again.

3:08 am

Haz1558

3:15 am

sprite

3:16 am

Trifioso

3:16 am

sprite

lollll rose! We can share!

3:16 am

grannyrose

lolol, snap sprite

3:17 am

grannyrose

and also a snap with trif.

3:17 am

puglet

ooh I didnt think of that Tri--good ideal

3:17 am

Trifioso

sunday schools is another option

3:17 am

A*n*i*t*a

Stop drinking so much coffee, solved. Lol

3:18 am

sprite

btw, am taking the magnesium malate now, rose. It arrived yesterday. I actually think I have a bit less pain in my back.

3:18 am

sprite

lol Anita, and hi :)

3:18 am

grannyrose

following trif's line of thought...anywhere kids congegrate.

3:18 am

grannyrose

lol, and hello anita

3:18 am

puglet

Sprite way way back in the chat you and Rose were talking about dragons--Is your kitchen in that theme

3:18 am

A*n*i*t*a

Morning all,tried to keep quiet.

3:18 am

sprite

pug: no, but my icon is.

3:19 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite, am so pleased, hun

3:19 am

sprite

hehehe we lured you out, Anita. Glad to see you.

3:19 am

sprite

thank you so much, rose. For caring and sharing.

3:19 am

puglet

lol Anita and Hi and thanks for the good ideals Tri.

3:19 am

Trifioso

just because my kid goes to one, there is this: at art schools they often have a free supplies area. At primo's school it is called the "re-store." All leftover supplies that people have to share go in, and no cost to take stuff out to use in projects

3:19 am

sprite

that is awesome, Trif.

3:20 am

puglet

I just hate throwing out good trash--lol

3:20 am

grannyrose

nah, nah, nah, anita. as i said, lovely to see you

3:20 am

Trifioso

its hilarious looking in there - one shoe, a single tube of paint, a pad of paper with about five sheets....the brain goes in to over drive thinking of uses for the itmes

3:21 am

sprite

that is inspiring in itself, Trif. I think it is a wonderful idea.

3:21 am

grannyrose

sprite, remember if back pain still there in AM, you can take another one.

3:21 am

Trifioso

do you have muscle pain or disc/bone pain, sprite?

3:21 am

sprite

I did this morning, rose. And I really think it is helping.

3:22 am

A*n*i*t*a

Well I am sat in bed too lazy to get up. Drinking a cuppa and with all this free entertainment.

3:22 am

A*n*i*t*a

What more can u ask for.

3:22 am

sprite

I have both, Trif. I already take glucasamine chondritine for the joints, but rose said magnesium malate may help uncramp the muscles.

3:22 am

grannyrose

yay!!! sprite. it is such an unsung hero of a medication....

3:22 am

Trifioso

sounds good to me, anita!

3:22 am

sprite

3:24 am

puglet

3:24 am

Trifioso

anyway, deer antler velvet sounds freaky, but I know a TON of people who swear by it, and it's properties. Long known as a powerful medicine in the native american circles....

3:24 am

A*n*i*t*a

Pass on the woman, I don't need her

3:24 am

puglet

never heard of that Tri

3:25 am

Trifioso

I was just saying, in chog there is only safety and friendship, no judgement. unless you have a sheep or sommat in there -- then we rain down hell fire on you :)

3:25 am

sprite

ok, it is a growth hormone, actually.

3:25 am

Trifioso

depends on the preparation, sprite

3:25 am

sprite

yeah. No hurting animals allowed in chog. Or anywhere else. But consenting adults... go ahead and have fun.

3:27 am

4:13 am

joso

one haloween i went to my brothers birthday party as a headless ghost, got an oversize coat, cut a hole in the chest and stuck my head through, willed the coat with padding and wraped an arm around my head. put a funnel in the neck with a tube running inside, down the arm , through the stuffed glove and into the corner of my mouth. Drank by poring it into the neck stub.

4:13 am

puglet

I bet Rose has filled up on corn and whatever else and is about to run out on us too

4:14 am

grannyrose

4:33 am

puglet

4:33 am

joso

liked booze, rarely got totaly ripped after out of the teens, would drink until a certain point then not want more, nurse the rest of the glass all night. but now, there is no hangover like a diabetic hangover, a whole body experiance.

4:34 am

puglet

12:54 pm

That's too bad, but that can be treated with meds, right?

12:55 pm

Aloyisius

yes.. and yesterday the vet added another as she suspects diabetes insipidus as well, sigh

12:56 pm

bichon

Diabetes insipidus, is that shown by consuming excess water?

12:57 pm

Aloyisius

yes, and frequent urination

12:57 pm

bichon

10 years old is pretty young for a Bichon. Hopefully meds will give him some more good years.

12:58 pm

Aloyisius

hope so too! how long do Bichons normally live?

12:59 pm

bichon

Before these two [who are close to 4], we had two. The first one died of cancer when he was 12 and the other lived til he was 16 and 1/2. They're generally a pretty healthy breed with long lives.

6:06 pm

torgone

I want that job description "Boatman and Fiddler"

6:12 pm

MollyL

It's a charmed life for some folks.

6:32 pm

rururocks

that's better than the Buttman and the Diddler I guess

6:34 pm

MollyL

You have a point there

6:38 pm

rururocks

Certainly more PG. :D

6:40 pm

rururocks

6:46 pm

MollyL

I wish this grid was in English

MollyL

The bar is open. Drinks are on me.

6:53 pm

periwinkle

G&T pls

6:53 pm

periwinkle

or maybe a gin martini

6:53 pm

MollyL

Gin and tonic for the lady, with fresh squeezed lime.

6:54 pm

periwinkle

mmm, thank you

6:54 pm

MollyL

If you're going to drink martinis, you might as well just open the bottle of gin and chug.

6:55 pm

periwinkle

I guess go. but that is not very ladylike is it? need to buy some olives and I need a martini glass too

6:55 pm

periwinkle

it would be less fattening. I hav a mini muffin top again and I do not like it.

6:55 pm

MollyL

Oh, we're going to be dainty. Okay. I'll chill a martini glass for you then.

6:56 pm

periwinkle

haha

6:56 pm

periwinkle

I love olives but I tasted a dirty martini once and it was nasty

6:57 pm

MollyL

Olives are okay, olive juice, no way. Dirty martinis are nasty.

6:58 pm

periwinkle

ma6 pls

6:58 pm

periwinkle

mard

6:59 pm

periwinkle

I have come to the conclusion that I do not like store birthday cakes. they are much too sweet

7:00 pm

MollyL

It's the icing, it's all sugar.

7:00 pm

periwinkle

yes, but the rest of the cake was pretty sweet. it was a cute little cake tho. family members birthday

7:01 pm

MollyL

I usually bake my own cakes, but if I go store bought, I go ice cream cake.

7:01 pm

periwinkle

I need the ma6, pls don't tell me it is a fish

7:01 pm

periwinkle

Ice cream cakes are better

7:02 pm

MollyL

ma6...hang your Christmas stocking there

7:03 pm

periwinkle

d'oh, ty, Molls

7:03 pm

MollyL

You are lucky that I think whacking people with a fish is as lame as talking about "the monkeys"

7:07 pm

rururocks

back now to finish this thing

7:09 pm

Lizlin

Morning all - glad i'm not the only one finding this grid difficult!

7:10 pm

rururocks

I'm finding it very difficult

7:10 pm

Lizlin

Just listed with 50 to go - I'll turn to morewords soon I think!

7:11 pm

rururocks

I'm missing a M.. and I just can't find it

7:12 pm

Lizlin

I'm missing 6 ms - so probably wouldn't be any help!

7:12 pm

rururocks

7:12 pm

rururocks

peri.. don't leave

7:15 pm

MollyL

Hey Liz

7:15 pm

Lizlin

Hi Molly - thanks for some of the earlier clues!

7:16 pm

MollyL

Anytime, dearie dear : P

7:18 pm

7:18 pm

rururocks

7:18 pm

rururocks

i'm pretty stuck

7:19 pm

MollyL

My lips are sealed : X

7:19 pm

Lizlin

2 ms now!

7:19 pm

Lizlin

1m left!

7:20 pm

rururocks

sealed?

7:20 pm

rururocks

have I mentioned lately how much I hate babblets hidden in the grid

7:21 pm

Lizlin

1 year into babble and the babblets still get me confused!

7:21 pm

Lizlin

Yay! Ms massacred!

7:22 pm

dan2bit

go Liz go

7:23 pm

Lizlin

ty - 36 here but that's progress on the 90 I started the morning with!

7:26 pm

Lizlin

Weird words I'm finding by guesswork!

7:26 pm

rururocks

peri...come back

7:27 pm

Lizlin

Don't think she's listening!

7:27 pm

rururocks

*just mentioning her name works :D

7:28 pm

Lizlin

:)

7:28 pm

MollyL

Peri...the new Babble mantra...

7:29 pm

Lizlin

I'd love a clue for either pa 6 please

7:29 pm

MollyL

pa + pu4, then change the last vowel for the other

7:30 pm

Lizlin

ty - good that I only have one pu 4 and it was the right one!

7:32 pm

Lizlin

That pu 4 was one I guessed, thinking it was the name of a place I visited in Yugoslavia back when it was Yugoslavia!

7:36 pm

MollyL

For some reason, I know that word. Maybe because I have such little tolerance for people who do it. (whimper, whine, pu4)

7:37 pm

Lizlin

I was thinking of the other vowel at the end!

7:37 pm

Lizlin

That was the airport we flew into!

7:37 pm

MollyL

Oh, I have no memory storage for all the obscure monetary units in these grids.

7:38 pm

Lizlin

That Zambian one yesterday was new to me! But I don't remember it exactly today!

7:39 pm

MollyL

Ngee! And I swear to God, Sue is familiar with every oddball word in these grids. She has either been to the country, has a friend from the country, or has eaten the food.

7:39 pm

Lizlin

:)

7:40 pm

MollyL

Sorry, ngwee

7:41 pm

Lizlin

That's the one!

7:41 pm

MollyL

Sounds like a sneeze from someone stuffed up.

7:41 pm

Lizlin

Bless you!

Thank you *sniffle*

8:24 pm

rururocks

good here.. i'm trying to get back into the swing of work and it's been a little difficult

8:25 pm

welki

you were off for a few weeks?

8:25 pm

rururocks

8:26 pm

Dorens

that's cause you're on the wrong side

8:26 pm

8:27 pm

Dorens

8:28 pm

welki

poor guys - first one, then the other. been a (really) crappy week

8:28 pm

Dorens

you can read everything he ever wrote... pure joy (imho)

8:28 pm

Dorens

the last wasn't the best, but still good. (that old cape magic)

8:29 pm

welki

i'm planning on it - if his other stuff as as good, might be a close second to john irving for me

8:29 pm

rururocks

sounds like cocydia (Sp?) or Giardia (Sp?)

8:29 pm

Dorens

interesting comparison... i like them both too

8:30 pm

welki

who knows - could have been either, especially giardia since we're at the lake a lot - and here, they don't vaccinate against giardia anymore. anyway, they're on the mend and i'm sending Bissel a thank you note :)

8:32 pm

Dorens

glad they're doing better

8:32 pm

Dorens

ru, how's dylan?

8:33 pm

Dorens

8:35 pm

rururocks

8:35 pm

welki

8:36 pm

rururocks

8:36 pm

rururocks

I gave him a bath and groomed him, and made turkey and rice (homecooked) for him.. he's almost normal now

8:37 pm

welki

i did the turkey, pumpkin and rice for my guys. didn't seem to help much, so i switched to the royal canin

8:38 pm

rururocks

Metroniazole is a miracle drug

8:39 pm

rururocks

I'm sure I'm misspelling that too

8:39 pm

welki

8:44 pm

welki

i have a friend who runs a rescue who agrees with you, that metro is a wonder drug

8:51 pm

rururocks

9:45 pm

uusue2

hmmm

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

i need a receptionist. move here? :D

9:46 pm

jmcnrick

haha i would be a terrible receptionist jes. . . otherwise i so would do it. . .love the work you do

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

why would you be terrible?

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

i tend to be a little brusk sometimes. . . i am sure you are shocked to find out! haha

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

hahaha. well, i NEVER.

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

I am unfailingly patient and polite ;D

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

besides i don't think my old cat would deal well with a 3,000 mile move

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

you know, except when I'm filing charges for writing me a check on a closed account.... or telling someone they need to figure out who the owner of the dog is and who's paying instead of letting 3 different people authorize things and then arguing about who's going to pay me...

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

both of which I got to do today

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

tsk. . . clearly you have no patience!

9:50 pm

uusue2

I would do it but we are still in the process of getting Frank switched to a different set of doctors (my insurance doesn't cover the local ones) so probably doesn't need another change quite yet. Also we have a 2-year lease here :-)

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

lots to be said for getting cash up front. . .

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

uu would make a great receptionist. . . she's actually polite

9:51 pm

uusue2

also patient :-)

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

did you ask them "what do you think we are doing here? running a charity?" ;-)

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, well. She gave us a check, assured us that payment was not a problem, opted for like $250 in additional/non-required things along with the surgery... and then the check came back 'account closed' turns out it's at least the 3rd time she's done it, because there were 2 prior reports when I reported it. and who knows how many haven't reported it... grrr.

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

Hmm. Well, maybe you could get a technician license quick-like, then? I need one of those too...

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

dang . . .you should be talking to the DA on that. . . it is called uttering and is at that amount probably a felony. . .

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

well i did always want to become a doctor. . .

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

statements in writing from me, 2 receptionists, and my associate, along with copy of the bill and the returned check will be going to the chief of police tomorrow. :D

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

glad to hear it. . . i hate how many people will let things like that go. . .

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

I am PISSED at her. and I am totally willing to take time off of work to go hang out in court waiting for her to stand me up over it.

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

make copies of everything and get the police to sign a receipt. . .

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

not that i am distrustful of the police or anything. . .

9:57 pm

uusue2

good for you, jes! People need to be made responsible for their actions.

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

take a book when you go to court. . .it helps the time to pass. . . .or knitting. . .

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

Already copied. and I'm not a great believer in the efficiency of bureacracy, but this is a small town and the chief is a client of my clinic, so I don't think he'll forget to pass it on to the prosecutor

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

of course there is my fear of dogs to consider. . .

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

oh, yeah, that'd be a great time to make Stid's scarf, wouldn't it?

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

well things get misplaced even in small towns. . .

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. Yeah, that might hamper your technician career.

9:58 pm

uusue2

small towns can have advantages...

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

not to mention my aversion to small towns. . .

9:58 pm

uusue2

Frank says he would do it but still has a year and a half to go in office here...he does love animals!

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

DC is as small of a town as i can handle. . .

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

hah. i would mentally crack of overstimulation in DC, J

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

i think frank and uu should do it. . . they could both split the job. . . .

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

well, sue, when you and Frank are done with your lease, maybe I'll be hiring again? :D

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

trust me jes i was not in the least overstimulated today in DC. . . .

10:00 pm

uusue2

there you go :-) we can start around March of 2015 :-)

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

i went to the garden, then the library to get them to show me how the online library thing works and then spent the day make tomato sauce for the freezer. . . .

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

heh. I spent a night in DC once, slept on the floor of the airport...

10:01 pm

jmcnrick

the highlight of the day was an hour conversation with a friend in town from Beijing. . .

10:01 pm

jmcnrick

next time contact me and you can stay at my house instead. . . .

10:07 pm

Coca cola....

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

10:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

10:21 pm

rururocks

He wrote the coke jingle

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

if you add amaretto to coke, it tastes just like dr. pepper...

10:22 pm

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

but you still haven't explained why alcohol gives me the tinglies, ru...

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

because dr pepper won't get you tipsy, i guess, gwen

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

dr pepper is not available in all parts of the country actually. . ..

10:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

which coke jingle? they have a new one ever few years

10:23 pm

rururocks

Your metabolism most likely

10:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

alcohol makes you tipsy because it starves your brain of oxygen, or something like that

10:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

whereas the carbonated, caffeinated soda-pop just kills your kidneys lol

10:24 pm

jesdraggon

and the alcohol kills your liver, so the liver and kidneys can all go down together when you spike your soda :)

10:24 pm

jmcnrick

my heavens he wrote the "I'm stuck on bandaids" jingle!

10:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ru must be looking up the barry-coke connection for all of us lazybones

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

my metabolism? how so, ru?

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

looks like he wrote the Pepsi jingle not the coke one. . .

10:27 pm

rururocks

How your body metabolizes the sugars and carbohydrates

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

but if it's sugars, why does it only happen with alcoholic drinks?

10:27 pm

jmcnrick
