Her oldest daughter has had cancer 3 times and was given a clean bill of health 3 months ago.....she had another scan and the cancer is in 4 places.....her liver, her clavicle and I can't remember the other two places.....just asking everyone to please pray for her. Her name is Susie and she lives in Corpus Christi, TX. I'm not doing well with it at all....but I must remember that God has healed her before and can do it again.

3:16 am

gapeach

3:41 am

3:42 am

sprite

but I did something good for myself... made an appt with my therapist for some me time.

gapeach

I'm back.

3:44 am

joso

lme time souds right, salads, oatmeal and metime

3:45 am

sprite

yes, the diabetes nurse was very understanding. She said clearly that it was impossible to come to terms with having diabetes and watching one's diet unless there was peace at home.

3:45 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, sprite.

3:45 am

sprite

wb peach. So sorry to hear about susie. *hugs*

3:45 am

sprite

my troubles are minor compared to what you go through, peach. Wish we could do more.

3:46 am

gapeach

I'm sorry to hear about your diabetes.....I have it too. So difficult to keep it where it should be because everything we do affects it.

3:48 am

sprite

yeah, it sucks, to put it bluntly. Stress makes it go haywire too. Ah well, I'll learn to deal with it. Am giving myself until Wednesday when we have the first counselling session with Tim. After that, I will need to take better care of my diet and exercise.

3:48 am

sprite

did lose 1 kg though.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

god morning everybody. I can always rely on seeing some friends here in the morning. I need the contact!!!

3:49 am

puglet

I truly believe that the things added to our food and the chemicals added to make them grow causes alot of the problems with diabetics

3:49 am

joso

yea sprite, that's amazing given your distractions

3:49 am

sprite

hi ruby *hug*

3:49 am

gapeach

Well, that's a start, sprite. Just remember to take good care of yourself. I know it isn't easy right now.;...just try your best.

4:05 am

sprite

hi and bye melon, have a great day to work.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

{{melonhead}} and to you!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

diot is a local Fr sausage

4:06 am

rubyfoo

this is a yummy grid, but no time now

4:06 am

rubyfoo

see you kids later xxox

4:07 am

puglet

bye Ruby

4:07 am

sprite

bye ruby, *hugs*

4:07 am

rubyfoo

did I sasy hello to miss pugs?

4:07 am

sprite

if not, you did in your heart

4:08 am

rubyfoo

{{sorite}} would you like for me to send you the South Beach Diet? Burt lost 40 lbs with it and still basically lives by it

4:08 am

sprite

no sweetie, thanks for offering. But I am going to a clinic for people with eating disorders and will have to go with what they want me to do.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

1119 and *woof*

4:16 am

sprite

bye ruby!

4:17 am

puglet

another 90 something day for us again :(

4:18 am

sprite

sounds very hot, pug :(

4:18 am

puglet

it is for me--not a hot weather fan

4:19 am

puglet

and I got to take sister to the doctors too

4:19 am

sprite

me neither. We are having our first coldish day in ages and I am enjoying it. People are complaining now about the cold... but I am happy. And it is not cold. Just not hot and humid anymore.

4:20 am

sprite

ah, that is doubly tough in the he4. How was she?

4:20 am

puglet

while in town though we will take advantage of store and go do our walking in the air con.

4:20 am

puglet

its just her usual check up

4:20 am

sprite

of course, you still have to go. Sounds like a plan, pug.

4:22 am

puglet

I do that alot. Plus I think its good for her too. To walk in a different place

4:22 am

sprite

need to find out how much my insurance is going to pay... expensive stuff, for diabetes.

4:22 am

sprite

I think so too, pug. Keeps the mind active and helps against depression.

4:23 am

puglet

it is. But we are lucky because her medicaid pays for most of it

4:23 am

puglet

otherwise we couldnt do it

4:25 am

sprite

I have to find a pedicurist for my feet. No feeling left on bottom of feet and only a little bit on top.

4:26 am

puglet

is your sugar causing that Sprite

4:27 am

sprite

no, though it makes it hard to check if the sugar isn't making it worse. But I was diagnosed with polyneuropathy long before the sugar started.

4:28 am

puglet

that can be pretty scarey with the sugar problem too. You will have to be very careful you dont get sores on them

4:28 am

sprite

ah, looks like my insurance will pay for the pedicurist.

4:29 am

puglet

have you got feeling lost in your hands too

4:29 am

puglet

thats good news

4:29 am

sprite

it is starting in my ha4s too, yes

4:30 am

joso

indirectly, high sugar makes blood flow like syrup, poor blood flow, low oxy delivery, the, feet are the first to suffer

4:32 am

sprite

yes, that is why they routinely check here when someone has diabetes. But my foot problem has another origine.

4:32 am

puglet

would massages help the flow of blood to your limbs,Sprite

4:34 am

sprite

probably, but exercise is best, I think. The loss of feeling is nerve related with me, not blood related.

4:36 am

sprite

argh... but I have to pay for the control stuff myself... because I am not insuline dependent.

4:36 am

puglet

if you had a tub with several jet sprays I bet that would help alot too

4:36 am

puglet

or whirlpool even

4:38 am

puglet

Is your head the only area you have without health issues? lol

4:39 am

puglet

I know its not funny but just trying to perk you up Sprite. please dont be hurt by my pun

4:39 am

sprite

nope... have ptsd, so my head is a mess too. I sometimes tell my husband to put me out with the garbage and order a new one :)

4:41 am

puglet

no one would want that for you! You are too special just the way you are

4:42 am

sprite

that's what he says as well... but I really wish I could offer him a healthier wife. Ah well, we will see. Might be a turnaround po5, the whole eating disorder treatment and stuff.

4:43 am

sprite

and sweetie, no, am not hurt by your pun. Love it. If we can't laugh about our own sh*t, things get really bad. I love a bit of black humour :)

4:43 am

puglet

You will be as God wants you

4:44 am

sprite

guess He had a really bad hairday when he thought me up ;)

4:46 am

puglet

the things you learn from what you go through makes you more aware of others sorrows so that you can reach out to them from the heart and soul

4:47 am

puglet

we each have our own crosses to carry through out life

4:47 am

sprite

yeah, that is true. Am not complaining. I have the feeling I will have another tough year with therapy and stuff, and then I will be able to find myself work as some kind of therapist.

4:49 am

puglet

after all this with your son, I bet you could help other parents with such problems

4:50 am

sprite

I will find my niche in time, I hope. First I have to get through this whole mess. Son, money, diabetes, eating disorder, ptsd. We will see how much of it we can clear up and how much we will have to learn to live with. One step at a time.

4:51 am

puglet

yep, you cant do it all at once or all in a day

4:52 am

NonoNanette

ape

4:53 am

sprite

now now Nanette, no calling names! :D

4:53 am

puglet

I pray for you and Ruby that He give you guys the strength you need each day to deal with what needs to be delt with. And Rose, wont tell what I pray for her-lol

4:53 am

sprite

*grin*

4:54 am

sprite

thanks for your prayers, pug, they really help. Isn't it amazing that one can actually feel it?

4:54 am

puglet

yeah it is!

4:55 am

puglet

Rose and Joso must be off taking care of hair issues-lol

4:55 am

sprite

it is like a warm cape around my shoulders. That's the best way I can describe it.

4:55 am

sprite

licking carpets and shooting eachother. Didn't understand a thing about it, lol.

4:56 am

puglet

you are better off-lol about hair in the teeth was a bit of it

4:57 am

sprite

lol! We have a dutch saying, 'haar op de tanden hebben' which translates literally as 'having hair on the teeth' and it means you know how to stand up for yourself, be assertive.

4:58 am

puglet

well I dont think that was anywhere close to what they were talking about--lol

4:59 am

sprite

no... I think I can imagine where they were going :)

5:00 am

puglet

giggles---you know our Rose---she just had to take it towards the gutter and Joso just kept feeding the logs to the fire

5:04 am

sprite

I love that. Too bad I missed it.

5:04 am

joso

a bit of innuendo never hurt anyone

5:04 am

sprite

couldn't agree more.

5:06 am

puglet

sorry babble's daily thing

5:06 am

sprite

lol... dont' say sorry... it is not your fault, silly.

5:07 am

puglet

ah ha we woke the sleeping wolf!

5:11 am

puglet

saturday night a group of us went to the drive-in to see a couple of movies. I had not been for several years.We had a really good time.

5:12 am

sprite

drive-in movies? Didn't know they still existed! Sounds like a lot of fun, pug. Good for you!

5:13 am

sprite

oh, lovely, a pt6. Only in babble!

5:13 am

puglet

they have been holding special events to raise money to save it and this week end they let everyone in for free to show their gratitute

5:13 am

sprite

how awesome, pug. Nothing like that in our country, I am afraid.

5:14 am

puglet

its only about ten miles from me and Iam hoping that it gets saved.Theres not many left anymore

5:15 am

sprite

never been to one. I know them from Grease, and a Stephen King movie too, I think.

5:17 am

puglet

wish you could have the experence of it.It sure brings back memories from youth and teen years.

5:18 am

puglet

My Aunt was a big Steven Kings fan. She had every book he ever wrote

5:18 am

sprite

yeah. My favorite time, the 50s. Used to be a rock 'n' roll gal.

5:18 am

sprite

I like Dean Koontz better, but some books by King are really marvelous.

5:19 am

puglet

I love the old rock and roll songs

5:19 am

sprite

same here.

5:20 am

puglet

I dont think Ive read any of Koontz stuff and just a few of Kings

5:21 am

sprite

Koontz writes scary stuff too, but he combines it with a more spiritual view.

5:21 am

puglet

Have you read "the Host"? By the same gal that wrote the twilight series

5:22 am

sprite

no, is it good?

5:22 am

puglet

yes, or I thought it was

5:23 am

puglet

I liked the twilight series but I thought the host was a more mature writing

5:24 am

sprite

didn't like the twilight series much, too superficial.

5:25 am

puglet

I thought it was more intented for teens and the movie was nothing like the books

5:25 am

sprite

yes I believe so. Didn't see the movie.

5:26 am

puglet

but the Host was different--I think you would like it

5:26 am

sprite

I found The Host as epub, will give it a go :)

5:26 am

puglet

I like vampire movies and always have

5:27 am

sprite

same for me. My favorites are the Blades ones.

5:27 am

sprite

well, and Love at first bite... that is a romantic favorite of mine.

5:28 am

puglet

I like it even better when the vampire is good looking and more the hero then the villin--lol

5:28 am

NonoNanette

s

5:28 am

joso

I like horror movies with a story, not so fond of the ones that continually have thing jumping off the screen at you.

5:28 am

sprite

oh... do you know the books by Sherrilyn Kenyon, the DarkHunter series?

5:28 am

puglet

no I dont Sprite

5:29 am

sprite

joso, indeed. Am not good at watching horror movies, they trigger the ptsd too much. Some are fun though.

5:29 am

puglet

I do too Joso

5:29 am

sprite

pug, it is fluff, but good fluff. Delightful sexy vampire romans with lots of humor. Do you have a reader?

5:29 am

puglet

movies like Friday the 13 and such I care little for

5:30 am

puglet

no Sprite

5:30 am

sprite

me neither. Too cheap... lots of scares but not much story. I love Wolf.

5:30 am

puglet

but I wrote that down to invest in

5:31 am

sprite

ok, let me know once you have one and I will make sure you get the DarkHunters. Try and pick a reader that supports epub format.

5:31 am

joso

supernatural is a current favorite of mine, its great how they incorperate so much old world lore, and the villians have more character than just evil

5:31 am

puglet

can I get them in real book form like off of amazon

5:32 am

sprite

oh, that series I like too. Very entertaining.

5:32 am

sprite

yes sure, pug. Shall I email you a list of the books in reading order? They are not expensive, just simple pocket books.

5:33 am

puglet

I kind of miss the old movies like the invisiable man and sch

5:33 am

puglet

if its not too much trouble Sprite

5:34 am

sprite

of course not, I'll be happy to share it with you.

5:34 am

joso

yes, I like them alot to, now they just seem to jurk the cammera around and splatter gore, instead of having a story

5:34 am

puglet

thank you!

5:35 am

puglet

that they do Joso and too much I think

5:36 am

joso

the other was a good one, about the two brothers

5:39 am

joso

well I killed that conversation, back to the grid

5:40 am

puglet

and the fly was another oldie that was good and the birds too

5:40 am

sprite

lollll joso, you never kill the chat.

5:40 am

sprite

oh, the Birds! Hitchcock always works for me.

5:40 am

puglet

no--had to get coffee

5:41 am

sprite

ok pug, I even found a full list with the ISBN and everything. If you don't want to buy an anthology, let me know and I will send you the short stories as epub and you can read them on the puter... or print them out maybe.

5:42 am

puglet

okay Sprite and thank you

5:42 am

joso

the lack of explanation for the birds annoyed me no end, got all wrapped up in it but expected a reason for the bird behavior.

5:44 am

sprite

email on the way, pug

5:44 am

puglet

its been so long since Ive seen it --I dont remember

5:44 am

sprite

yeah, same for me, joso. But brilliantly composed, the whole movie.

5:44 am

puglet

okay Sprite

5:45 am

puglet

the birds is one of those that just sticks with you

5:46 am

puglet

and when I think of dracula I can help but picture Vincent Price

5:47 am

sprite

Wolf, with Jack Nicholson. Lovely movie.

5:47 am

puglet

yep! I just seen on tv that he is losing his memories

5:48 am

sprite

aw poor man :(

5:48 am

joso

have either of you seen the new brad pit zombi movie, world war Z

5:48 am

sprite

no, sorry

5:48 am

puglet

I love that movie--as good as it gets

5:49 am

puglet

no Joso

5:49 am

joso

very good, highly recomended

5:49 am

sprite

I agree, pug. Oh, and the Witches of Eastwick! One of the very few movies that is actually better than the book.

5:49 am

puglet

is it new Joso

5:50 am

puglet

yes thats a good one too

5:50 am

sprite

ok joso, will remember. Wouldn't think of going to a movie with that name by myself, don't like war movies.

5:50 am

joso

have you seen the vincent price movie where he is the last human in a plague of vamps

5:50 am

puglet

I have and its a old one

5:50 am

sprite

oh... yes! Oh... can't remember the name... that is a good one.

5:51 am

joso

yep, b&w even, from the old matheson book, legend

5:51 am

sprite

The last man on earth

5:52 am

joso

remade as omega man and a will smith movie, both very different

5:53 am

puglet

I dont think Ive ever seen Price dressed in anything but black

5:53 am

sprite

will smith is fun. I simply love him in Independence Day.

5:54 am

joso

and the men in black movies

5:54 am

puglet

I like him too and D. Washington too is a good actor too

5:54 am

sprite

oh yes. Also very smart movies, those. I love the end shots of the first movie. With the universe that ends up being a marble in the hands of aliens.

5:55 am

joso

yes he is, hard to remember him as the kid on st. elsewhere

5:55 am

sprite

oh, Danzel... in.... what is the name... Crimson Tide? On the submarine?

5:56 am

puglet

I dont know that Ive seen that one but I love remember the titans

5:56 am

puglet

but hes got alot of movies thats really good

5:57 am

joso

, yes, very good, not normally a fan of sport flick but that was very good

5:58 am

puglet

I was always a John Travolta fan and the one where he plays as a robber on that train was a really different role for him but I liked it

5:58 am

sprite

with gene hackman as well. Very good and intense movie. Hackman is the captain, Danzel is his second. It is about the order to fire nuclear bombs, followed by radio silence. Obedience and discipline against common sense and not wanting to fire nukers for nothing.

5:58 am

sprite

never liked Travolta. Too full of himself, I always thought. But he can act.

5:59 am

joso

yes, i remember it, also a very good flic

5:59 am

puglet

now now Sprite! that strut of his is something else--lol

6:00 am

joso

I love the story of quentin tarantino introducing himself to Travolta.

6:00 am

puglet

I remember him back as the school boy in welcome back

6:01 am

sprite

pug, my alltime favorite actor, including strut and smile, is Bruce Willis

6:02 am

puglet

nah--John in grease makes you melt! lol

6:02 am

sprite

not me, grin.

6:03 am

joso

I'll stick with the oldies, cary grant

6:03 am

sprite

fireflies! A lovely grid today.

6:03 am

puglet

I wore two eight tracks from the movie out! lol

6:03 am

puglet

w2g congrats

6:04 am

puglet

you like his strut?

6:04 am

sprite

for the oldies, my vote goes to Sean Connery.

6:04 am

sprite

joso perfected his strut

6:04 am

puglet

giggles

6:05 am

lynxxx

and no-one mentions Jeff Goldblum? Hello everyone

6:05 am

puglet

you didn't fall short at all, joso. You are better than bond. Joso. James Joso.

6:06 am

6:06 am

sprite

shaken and somewhat disturbed, grin

6:06 am

6:06 am

Dianne

Hi everyone - can someone please put me out of my misery p I am missing a 6 letter word from the top right E - help, please

6:07 am

6:07 am

sprite

hiya Dianne, EX + a temper ****rum.

6:07 am

puglet

yeah I need to get off and get ready to go to town

6:07 am

lynxxx

6:07 am

joso

I blame it on the lack of proper villains for me to take down, I was ready, where was blogfelt, goldfinger

6:08 am

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon and pups.

6:13 am

bichon

Woofies to you

6:13 am

Scrabbler

My Australian friend was at my birthday party. She is from Woomba-Woomba.

6:14 am

lynxxx

pretty good - worked out hard at the gym and got a fair bit done in the afternoon. Hope you have had a relaxing weekend Scrabbs?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Great weekend except for about 4 hrs of a migraine yesterday.

6:15 am

bichon

Happy b'day Scrabs

6:15 am

Scrabbler

TY. I am grateful to celebrate another b-day.

6:15 am

bichon

It's going to be 88 degrees on Wed. Summer is definitely back

6:15 am

lynxxx

Woomba Woomba - never heard of it. Is it really Toowoomba in Queensland? or Wogga Wogga in New South Wales?

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Yes, for us too. It's 49 now. Brrr.

6:16 am

lynxxx

oops that should be Wagga Wagga

6:16 am

bichon

I wore sweats this morning for the fluffy walk

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Maybe I have the wrong name. It is in Queensland.

6:18 am

lynxxx

I bet it is Toowoomba - perhaps she is teasing you because it is pronounced 2Woomba

6:18 am

lynxxx

but happy birthday from me too - pity a migraine spoilt the weekend for you

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I asked her how Woomba Woomba was, during her visit, and she laughed, so I guess I said the wrong name.

6:19 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone! happy belated birthday scrabs

6:20 am

Scrabbler

She and her American husband visit from Feb-May and will move there when he retires. She has been here for 25 yrs or so and is a sweetheart.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi dawg. Thanks.

6:21 am

lynxxx

How lovely - and you would have a place to visit down here

6:21 am

lynxxx

hi dawg

6:22 am

Scrabbler

One of our friends, and her husband, traveled to Australia with my Aussie friend in Feb. And then they toured NZ. NZ sounds like a paradise for hiking and kayaking!

6:22 am

lbdawger

hi Scrabs, Hi Lynxxx

6:23 am

bichon

You betcha Scrabs. If only we could go back

6:23 am

lynxxx

NZ is just one glorious postcard

6:24 am

bichon

Haven't been to the North Island, but the South is better for outdoorsy stuff

6:25 am

bichon

Do we have any NZ Babblers?

6:25 am

lynxxx

did you see the Lord of the Rings movies Scrabbs? all shot in NZ

6:25 am

lynxxx

There are a couple though I don't think they play anymore

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that's when I learned about the geography of NZ. I never knew it was so beautiful!

6:26 am

Scrabbler

GroovyKiwi and Loredana are New Zealanders.

6:26 am

bichon

It's like you're in a different world. So remote.

6:27 am

bichon

We went to see the first LOTR movie in Queenstown. Some folks in the audience were commenting that they knew where that placce was

6:27 am

lynxxx

Loredana is from West Australia I thought? Christine from California has a sister in NZ who used to come on occasionally

6:28 am

Good for you!

8:58 am

Trifioso

break? I am gutting the house

8:58 am

car.eeyore

I meant from work. You needed to be out of there for a bit.

8:59 am

car.eeyore

Ha! Ophthamology word in the grid and I found it!

9:00 am

car.eeyore

...which only is karma slapping me in the face telling me to get to work....

9:03 am

hego

Ooooo, now I'm intriqued.

9:04 am

car.eeyore

It has nothing to do with the plot. Just a production note.

9:04 am

Jeff7

BB is right up there with the wire, the shield, sopranos, etc

9:04 am

hego

I hate everybody in that show, but can't stop watching.

9:05 am

hego

I agree Jeff

9:05 am

car.eeyore

Is that a good thing or a bad thing, Jeff?

9:05 am

Jeff7

the acting, writing, directing, cinematography, color palette, etc is incredible

9:05 am

car.eeyore

Saul is my absolute FAVORITE!

9:05 am

Jeff7

it's a good thing car

9:05 am

I agree Jeff! Brilliant!

I will have to get one for my DH for his birthday!

9:06 am

hego

Can you buy them on line?

9:06 am

car.eeyore

The dialogue that comes out of Saul's mouth just makes me roll. He used to be a writer on SNL and other comedy shows and I can totally see why.

9:06 am

car.eeyore

AMC.com I believe Hego.

9:07 am

Jeff7

I love how the actress who plays Marie needed a comedy to do after BB so she is playing Michael J Fox's wife in his new show (which looks to be hysterical)

9:07 am

hego

ty Car

9:07 am

car.eeyore

I think Marie's character is such a caricature that in many ways it is a comedy role for her. The purple!

9:08 am

Jeff7

All of the characters have evolved (devolved) as the show has gone on

9:09 am

3:25 pm

flosey

I understand Maine is quite beautiful, unfortunately have not travelled through that area

3:25 pm

flosey

and next to no syrup from western maples - not worth the effort

3:25 pm

penquis

yes, especially the coast in summer and inland in the fall....winter is nice, too, if you like snow....fortunately where i live, the midcoast, winters are milder

3:25 pm

hego

Flo, if I knew you were out there I would have visted you when I went to see Bugsaw last year.

Going to the movies is not what it used to be. I can't handle all the talking and cell phone use.

4:23 pm

Anniebrook

During this movie, it was very quiet.

4:23 pm

flosey

oh my, that would be very annoying Molly, have not seen that happen yet

4:23 pm

I haven't seen it happen either - neither here or in Dallas

4:23 pm

4:27 pm

i have taken my beloved to the movies twice in 5 years and both times it was terrible.last time we three women behind us who figured the moves was a perfect place to duscuss the minutae of their day,all throughout the movie.the time before that we had peope on either side of us taking calls or doing other things on cell phones

4:28 pm

kje

then alert the management... they'll escort them out

4:28 pm

Anniebrook

If that happens, you should call it to the attention of the manager. There is no reason for that to continue.

4:28 pm

crosshair

i was not a happy camper

4:28 pm

4:29 pm

4:32 pm

crosshair

and is it meor are the theatres getting louder?? i swear my ear drums were going to pop,they had the volume so high

4:32 pm

MollyL

I agree, I would rather watch a movie at home. Plus the "managers" around here are barely old enough to shave.

4:33 pm

flosey

I agree Crossy, I find them far too loud

4:33 pm

MollyL

I also agree about the loudness. My ears were ringing for an hour after we saw "Avatar".

4:36 pm

Anniebrook

thanks, bichon

4:36 pm

tabbycat

Haven't been to the movies in years mainly because of the sound. It's either too quiet when people are talking or way too loud with sound affects and the music.

4:36 pm

Jillyjill

4:37 pm

5:25 pm

I think they just got back from vacation, Crossy and will debate first before voting.

5:25 pm

tabbycat

From what I read the Senate is planning an initial procedural vote on Wednesday.

5:26 pm

tabbycat

Who knows what the House will do?

5:27 pm

Anniebrook

The House is Republican so the vote will probably be no..

5:28 pm

Vote is being postponed at this point - they will discuss a Russian plan first

Russian policy: One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. ~Joseph Stalin

5:42 pm

crosshair

true quote indeed

5:42 pm

crosshair

so,if a million bodies pile up in syria,then it is ok to go in?

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

Of course killing people because he killed people...that makes sense?

5:44 pm

crosshair

stalin was something else.he had a "not one single step back policy" his officers used to shoot soldiers who tried to retreat.in stalins army otit took braver man to retreat thn to advance

5:44 pm

o-o

Putin has stated if the US strikes Syria, Russia will come to the assistance of Syria ... so, the risk of a million bodies becomes more plausible

5:45 pm

oh,i did not know puntin said that..interesting

o-o

The issues are very complex. Historical note:
On June 28, 1914, a young Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Taking place against a backdrop of escalating tensions in the Balkans, the assassination set off a chain of events that would lead to the start of World War I barely one month later.

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

What goes around comes around eh o-o

5:52 pm

crosshair

so russia is saying to the states"leave syria alone or we start ww3"

5:54 pm

It sounds terrible to say that someone would feel comfortable with ACLS, Jilly. Even though I worked in CV-ICU and felt that I knew it; I never felt comfortable with it -- or codes. Too much Adrenalin on board; but even that is a good thing in a code...

10:22 pm

Nef

And the LAST thing anyone would ever call me is an Adrenalin Junkie, Jilly! :-) I had a crazy co-worker from India who would start yelling and dithering when her patients crumped; she always would say: "I always get so nervous when my pt. codes; I just start yelling for help and bossing everybody around! And then there's you! If you pts. code; the only thing we hear is this quiet little 'I need some help here.'" I was very quiet and concise when my pts. crimped; but I ALWAYS got the help I needed....

I really don't know how to explain how I feel, almost like it isn't real....you know? I've found a proton beam radiation machine at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston.....I called her and she will ask her doctor there in Corpus if, after the Chemo, it might be an avenue for her. Thanks so much for all of the prayers.

Thanks so very much, sue......I have your e-mail address and will let you know when I hear more. She told me tonight that she has 9 weeks of Chemo and then she will ask her doctor about the Proton Beam at MDAnderson....her grandmother was their oldest living cancer patient for many years......she had cancer in her jaw and they completely rebuilt the side of her face that it was on.

10:40 pm

Nef

sending prayers and healing thoughts to your sister (and you) peach.....

10:40 pm

gapeach

Oh, Nef....last night my sister-in-law called me from Corpus Christi, TX and told me about her eldest daughter (has had cancer three times in the past) had a scan three months ago and was clear....then last week they found 4 more places in her body, liver, clavicle and I can't remember where the other two are. It really gave me a wollop! I've asked for prayers for her (and me too). She is a wonderful lady , only 56 years old. Her voice seemed strong tonight when I spoke with her.

10:42 pm

gapeach

I won't try to finish this one....have 22 left and don't have the energy....perhaps the next one.....will watch TV for a while. Happy Babbling.

10:44 pm

Nef

so, your niece? Wow, 56 is so young! Yes, I will pray and "send" to her (and you are always on "my list', but will continue to keep you near the top).
I'm going to be gone for 3 days this week on a spiritual retreat, and I will ask the women to pray for you both.

10:49 pm

o-o

spiritual retreat .... would think if the goal is to become more spiritual, it would be a spiritual advance.

10:52 pm

It's a retreat from your everyday life, o-o. :-) I think right now it would be very helpful
