puglet

Joso, have you talked to k since your email? Is it any better

2:04 am

puglet

oh yeah I just bit there is Rose :)

2:05 am

grannyrose

you have to get it right, pugs. if you are gonna shell out the bucks, it has to be exactly what you want.

2:06 am

joso

no, asked a few questions but haven't heard or seen from her since. I get the feeling she is not too interested in a fight and would rather say away, a pity but her choice.

2:06 am

puglet

so you got to pay DH now to get just what you want? lol

2:07 am

puglet

thats too bad Joso

2:07 am

grannyrose

puglet

2:11 am

grannyrose

ooohh, pugs, naughty girl....how did you guess?

2:11 am

joso

has it ever struck you as odd that god would feel the need of the extra prestige of a doctorate?

2:12 am

grannyrose

must admit, joso. have not given that much thought....*giggle*

2:13 am

joso

seems like icing on top of icing

2:14 am

grannyrose

yeah, but a doctorate in what? theology?

2:16 am

joso

being god, maybe all the doctorates, showing restraint by not calling himself Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. God

2:17 am

grannyrose

lol...

2:19 am

joso

All geared up for your fortress of solitude, or concentrating on a good sendoff for DH

2:20 am

grannyrose

second option first, then once i send him off, and stop doing handstands and cartwheels...i will think about everything i'm gonna not do.

2:23 am

grannyrose

DH is leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow. he rides over to his mate's place, for breakfast, then when they have cleaned up, the 4 of them will ride down to the island

2:23 am

2:25 am

sprite

2:26 am

grannyrose

2:26 am

2:28 am

sprite

speaking of books, pug, up to where do you have 'our' series complete?

2:28 am

grannyrose

sprite, one of the reasons i do th4 for him, is because for all the rest of the year, all he does is take of his mum, and his constant companions are female. he needs some good solid male company.

2:28 am

puglet

Iam on the 5th one

2:30 am

sprite

ok, thanks :)

2:31 am

puglet

Iam going to get that very first one and then hope to find another set like I did these

2:31 am

sprite

oh... I think wulf is the book that is parallel to that of talon. So funny to read things from the other end.

2:31 am

puglet

did you find my facebook page

2:32 am

sprite

I didn't look yet, sorry pug. Things are kind of messy here. Son is acting up again.

2:33 am

puglet

np Sprite. I sent you a friends request

2:33 am

sprite

very funny card btw :)

2:33 am

sprite

ah perfect, thank you

2:33 am

puglet

I really liked the story about Z@A

2:34 am

puglet

thanks, I thought it was cute too

2:34 am

sprite

am so glad you are enjoying them. Z is a darling, isn't he :)

2:35 am

puglet

He wasent until you read his story. I have kind of forgotten who wulf is

2:36 am

puglet

I though I would start Roses books because I wont be able to order anymore until after x-mas

2:36 am

sprite

he doesn't figure big. Talon is talking with him on the telephone, the chat about him just having his coffee and then having to run off to save the day.

2:37 am

sprite

they will keep :)
And it gives you a chance to dive into Rose's books, sounds like you will enjoy those very much.

2:38 am

puglet

I hope! They are big books too! But I do like stories like those--do you

2:39 am

sprite

history books, right? No, not really. But my husband loves them.

2:40 am

puglet

Sprite, do you just read from your ereader or do you still hold a book

2:40 am

puglet

well its history but written as a fiction story(kind of like Roots)

2:41 am

sprite

both. I love the feel of a book. But the e-reader is incredibly handy (and light) and gives me access to a practical endless reading list.

2:41 am

sprite

practically*

2:43 am

puglet

I knew you had the reader just wasent sure you still read from real books too. Was the book you just read good?

2:44 am

sprite

very. A classic novel by Jane Austen. Very oldfashioned and fun.

2:44 am

puglet

I might have to give it a try after I get my list down

2:45 am

puglet

so whats next on your reading list

2:45 am

sprite

I think you will love it. Since you so enjoyed the matchmaker books.

2:45 am

sprite

am reading book one of the Dresden Files, by J. Butcher. So far it is fun.

2:46 am

puglet

Havent heard of that

2:46 am

sprite

it's urban fantasy. Harry Dresden is a wizard who is a detective. Kind of Marlowe meets Buffy.

2:47 am

puglet

oh, sounds interesting

2:48 am

puglet

I enjoy a touch of humor in stories

2:48 am

sprite

yes, I think you will like them too. We will make sure you get them once you got an ereader.

2:49 am

sprite

oh yes, so do I. lovely reading when there is a smile in there somewhere.

2:49 am

puglet

Have you ever read the barefoot bride? Its an old romance story but full of humor

2:49 am

sprite

no, will write it down, thank you :)

2:53 am

puglet

does your other family members like to read too

2:53 am

worzel

Morning everyone xx

2:53 am

sprite

think I found it as an ebook. Sounds like a fun read

2:53 am

sprite

morning worzel

Morning Spritexx

2:53 am

puglet

morning worzel

2:54 am

worzel

morning Puglet - forgive me if i'm in and out this morning i'm unwell xx

2:54 am

grannyrose

and i am back, with a very full tummy. *contented sigh*

2:55 am

grannyrose

hey worzel. what's the problem?

2:55 am

puglet

great! WB Rose

2:55 am

sprite

my daughter is just as avid a reader as I. My son usually finds it too much work to read, but once he starts a book, it can totally captivate him. My husband is more into technical books. Like about wood, or how to build a canoe, or history books.

2:55 am

sprite

wb rose *tickles her full tummy*

2:55 am

puglet

ah sorry to hear that Wor

2:56 am

worzel

hi granny. well, i've got a doctor appointment in an hour which is unusual for me - i've seen a dr once in about 20 years! Have severe stomach cramps which i THINK is trapped wind. Have tried everything but it's keeping me up at night and as a final resort am trying the doctor

2:56 am

grannyrose

i feel like a puppy or kitten which has over indulged...and i probably have.

2:57 am

grannyrose

awww, poor worzel. stomach cramps are the worst. there is no amount of rubbing, massaging which helps.

2:57 am

puglet

that can be very painful Wor. Iam sure the doctor will help you ----funny Rose was suffering something like that,but hers wasent trapped-lol

2:58 am

worzel

have tried almost boiling water, rennies, mints, mint tea, camomile tea, yoga (which my gf tells me helps) All I really want to do is let off a really big one, if you pardon the expression! (Sorry lol) x

2:58 am

sprite

rose is our overindulging, hot fluffing darling

2:58 am

puglet

walking does help sometimes with that kind of problem until you get to the doc

2:59 am

grannyrose

worzel, i could suggest a mixture of mylanta and peppermint water. used it with midwifery patients post-caesarian.

2:59 am

grannyrose

pugs, that's horses dear.

2:59 am

worzel

not heard of mylanta i'll give it a go if doctor can't help. thanks rose xx

3:00 am

puglet

Sprite, her and Ru were fluffing earlier

3:00 am

grannyrose

worzel google it....then ask your pharmacist. it's the combo which works so well.

3:00 am

sprite

fluffing again? Tsk. And we thinking her a lady and all.

3:00 am

puglet

well Rose it does help people too--lol

3:01 am

worzel

thank you all for making me laugh though cos when you said fluffing i had something completely different in my head to what you're probably talking about (giggles guiltily . . .)

3:01 am

grannyrose

a lady??? who came in??

3:01 am

sprite

*grin* Rose, me gal, I love you to pieces.

3:02 am

grannyrose

oh good...so glad we have one on the team...* bats eye-lashes*

3:02 am

worzel

eeek - think i've rubbed off on me dog - he's voming now! brb

3:03 am

sprite

ooo well done, the batting :)

3:03 am

puglet

ahh poor Wor--when it rain it pours

3:04 am

sprite

raining cats and dogs even...

3:04 am

puglet

probally twitches with the eyes-lol

3:04 am

worzel

how big's the longest word please guys? x

3:04 am

sprite

8 letters. 4 of 'm

3:04 am

jwr

Worzel -- Mylanta is a brand name, American (don't know where you are in the world). It's an antacid; a combination of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide to relieve indigestion, upset stomach, and heartburn.

3:05 am

sprite

hi jwr

3:05 am

worzel

ty sprite

3:05 am

jwr

hi sprite

3:06 am

puglet

I usually drink baking soda water myself in times like those and it helps me

3:06 am

puglet

Hi Jwr

3:06 am

worzel

im in uk jwr but we do have products similar to Mylanta but not the product itself. Seriously, though, you name it i've tried it. Think I'll stick a funnel in and see if I can syphon it out. Ooooo I shouldn't laugh, it hurts!

3:07 am

sprite

laughing might shake it loose

3:07 am

worzel

ok i best go get ready for my big adventure to the doctor's. You lot behave and look after each other xx

3:07 am

sprite

th4 grid seems to close up hermitically at the halfway point

3:08 am

puglet

or rolling on the floor or jumping up and down

3:08 am

puglet

sorry Wor, know its not funny

3:08 am

sprite

get well soon, worzel

3:08 am

puglet

take care Wor and hope you get well

3:09 am

jwr

ho puglet, worz. Your local pharmacist is your best bet -- the problem with your problem is that the "cure" can cause another set of difficulties so the more relief you can get naturally (walking, light massage, burping from orifices, etc.) the better off you will be.

3:09 am

sprite

very true, jwr. I would advise against rennies, for one. Often the remedy is worse than the illness.

3:11 am

puglet

I had a friend with a problem like that and He had a bowel blockage and had to drink a gallon of this nasty chalky stuff

3:12 am

puglet

but it did its thing! Good cleansing out--lol

3:12 am

grannyrose

i could suggest a barium enema, that works really well.

3:13 am

sprite

lol! Well a bowel blockage can easily be fatal, so am glad it worked

3:13 am

sprite

did rose just really use the words 'enema' and 'really well' in one sentence???

3:13 am

grannyrose

lolol...yup

3:14 am

sprite

arggghghg! Stuff for nightmares.

3:14 am

puglet

its cold here this morning. Got my sweats on,housecoat and hooded sweatshirt and heavy socks too

3:14 am

grannyrose

when my retrograde pyelogram went pear-shaped * read surgeon injected dye too hard and perforated my kidney* i had a paralytic ileus.

3:14 am

puglet

not a pretty picture Rose

3:15 am

sprite

oh sounds cozy! My morning robe is not dry yet from washing it... am making do with real clothes and not enjoying it :)

3:15 am

puglet

Now you are talking like OO

3:15 am

grannyrose

day 3 the docs decided to do a special x-ray using barium. on the x-ray table the peristalsis started again, and the sluices opened.

3:16 am

sprite

ok I had to read that twice. pyelogram? Some medical procedure which involves an injection with dye no doubt. Paralytic... lame? Ileus... some tiny joint in the hip/back area?

3:16 am

puglet

dont mean nothing by that OO if you are out there lurking

3:17 am

jwr

I've learned to be very wary of most OTCs (over-the-counter) products, including self-prescribed enemas. Like so-called antibacterial products that can do a great deal of harm by removing the skin's natural protection (water and rubbing will do the trick). Sounds like a doctor is wanted at this point before you get exhausted.

3:17 am

sprite

amen to that, jwr.

3:17 am

grannyrose

pyelogram, x-ray of renal pelvis. paralytic, paralised, ileus, loop of bowel

3:18 am

sprite

lol pug... o-o sounds like he is highly intelligent because he actually is highly intelligent. And often very much tongue-in-cheek.

3:18 am

puglet

anymore they very rarely give enemas here at the nursing homes

3:18 am

sprite

rrrrrright, got you! Very very uncomfortable, rose. Both the illness and the examination.

3:19 am

puglet

yeah I know Sprite and Rose thinks us(or me) can understand all those large doctoring words

3:20 am

sprite

grin, indeed. Well, I am not afraid and ask and appear stupid.

3:20 am

puglet

sounds like a twisted gut like thing that horses gets

3:21 am

grannyrose

you will never appear stupid, dear ones. and pugs, you are very close.

3:21 am

sprite

ok this is going nowhere. I think I am gonna be a lazy lady and use Lickety today.

3:21 am

grannyrose

the stupid ones don't ask, and try to appear as if they know what you are talking about.

3:22 am

puglet

Iam not crazy for this grid today either

3:23 am

puglet

well talking about enemas it had to come from the behind somehow

3:23 am

sprite

lol true, rose. Am not much for pretending anyway... better ask a stupid question than blurt out a stupid opinion based on not knowing what I am talking about.

3:23 am

puglet

youre funny Sprite

3:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, there is no such thing as a stupid question. just a stupid answer.

3:24 am

sprite

;)

3:24 am

sprite

rose, as they say, there isn't such a thing as a stupid question. Just stupid people.

3:25 am

puglet

here early Rose and Ru were on windy things and then later on Wor comes with the same problem--how strange

3:25 am

sprite

oh, and this one: better to hold your tongue and appear stupid, then open your mouth and prove it.

3:25 am

sprite

random facts of synergy, pug, grin.

3:25 am

grannyrose

lol..so true sprite

3:25 am

puglet

Is Wor a he or she

3:26 am

sprite

who knows? But I think a he.

3:26 am

jwr

Do you have an idea of how much good information goes on this chog? It's about time you got together to e-publishs: The Babblers' Book of Home Remedies, Recipes and Emotional Support; How to Clue in Pun; English as She is Spoke and Spelt; Liking Lickety; . . . .

3:27 am

sprite

lol jwr! Brilliant!

3:27 am

grannyrose

lol, jwr...what an idea....

3:28 am

puglet

SURE IS!

3:28 am

sprite

I made a start with collecting new babble words and a list of babblisms in my profile, jwr.

3:29 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

3:29 am

grannyrose

hey, jwr, you want the job???

3:29 am

hi Liz :) *hug*

3:29 am

grannyrose

oh, liz, so glad to see you, hun. saw all the fires on the news. all you and yours safe?

3:30 am

Lizlin

26 to go here but got diverted with photos! We've almost finished the last photo book from our holiday.

3:30 am

sprite

*giggles* I love it, jwr

3:30 am

Lizlin

We're fine Rose - no fires here at the mo - not even the smell of smoke BUT it is incredibly dry. Thanks for asking!

3:30 am

sprite

awesome, Liz!

3:31 am

puglet

I do hope you stay safe Liz

3:31 am

sprite

must be scary, the constant threat of fire

3:31 am

Lizlin

One book's been printed (Vancouver), the 2nd is on it's way and I've got 2 days left of Alaska.

3:31 am

puglet

I think I seen on here earlier that diz was getting smoke near her

3:31 am

jwr

Not I, Rose. It's the teaching background: the one who gives out the assignments doesn't have to do them.

3:32 am

jwr

he hehehehehe

3:32 am

Lizlin

It's never been that close to me - to my hubby when he lived in Victoria. We do sometimes smell smoke and have seen it in the distance - it's not nice at all.

3:32 am

grannyrose

sprite, we live with it over here. early in december is when we usually start packing up whatever we want to save. but this year in NSW it has started so much earlier.

3:32 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the thoughts and wishes and Pug's right. Diz said that the sun was obliterated by smoke.

3:33 am

puglet

jwr, may I ask where you are from and if you are a he or she

3:33 am

grannyrose

lolol...jwr

3:33 am

sprite

lots of prayers and good thoughts needed overthere then

3:33 am

Lizlin

Winter here is worse for us usually. We're further north and the summer is usually the rainy season but we've only had one real day's rain since the beginning of August.

3:34 am

Lizlin

Rose, please can you clue the go 7? Thanks

3:34 am

Lizlin

Or sprite or anyone!!!!

3:34 am

jwr

Good luck, Liz. If you're smelling the smoke, you might consider a filtration mask. These days, smoke is as bad as fire - at least smoke from an urban (human) conflagration. Contains so much toxins.

3:35 am

sprite

I wish. I have the whole of one 7 and one 8 so far. Neither is go :(

3:35 am

puglet

is there alot of woods and grasses to burn by you guys

3:35 am

Lizlin

Good thought jwr -thanks

3:35 am

grannyrose

go + **eta, greek letter + **ch, scratch it for relief + vowel

3:35 am

Lizlin

Yes pugs

3:35 am

grannyrose

yes pugs

3:36 am

sprite

ok thanks rose. that is an odd one.

3:36 am

Lizlin

thanks rose - I'd been playing with that combination - I used morewords for the go 8.

3:36 am

grannyrose

just at the end of our road is a large national park. all australian natives.

3:36 am

sprite

actually it is a very common word, as common as dust, almost literally: a red or yellow or brown mineral; an oxide of iron that is a common constituent of rust

3:37 am

Lizlin

Eucalyptus trees are full of oil and burst into flames very easily and there are loads of them around. We've also got national park near us.

3:37 am

grannyrose

eg7, someone who thinks they are better than most.

3:37 am

Lizlin

in 8 - between kings!

3:37 am

grannyrose

which is why they are called the blue mountains and the blue dandenongs, liz

3:38 am

Lizlin

25 left. Back to photos I think. Good to catch up. BBL. Hugs!

3:38 am

grannyrose

di8, dig up a dead body

3:38 am

Lizlin

Yes, Rose. i didn't mention the blue mist that hangs around!

3:38 am

puglet

is it the same park between you guys

3:38 am

sprite

enjoy, Liz! Have fun.

3:38 am

puglet

bye Liz

3:38 am

Lizlin

No - totally different area. I'm a 2 hour flight from where Rose lives.

3:39 am

jwr

pug, yo - whoops, gotta go -

3:39 am

sprite

thanks for the biggies

3:39 am

nice one, thanks

3:41 am

grannyrose

st7, s + someone who tinges with colour

3:42 am

puglet

lol--at first I thought you were refering to poopie Rose

3:42 am

grannyrose

wr7, past tense of to apply pen to paper

3:43 am

sprite

rose, that st7, could you please dummy it down for me?

3:44 am

grannyrose

okay, hun. st + opposite of out + ***m, part of the school year

3:44 am

sprite

ah, thank you, now I get it. Totally misread your clue.

3:45 am

puglet

Sprite I wanted to say Iam sorry that T is acting up again. I know it must make family life depressing to say the least

3:47 am

sprite

thanks pug. Yes it is rotten. Didn't sleep much last night... at midnight my love thought it smart to tell Tim he still had to wash the dishes, and Tim thought it smart to start yelling and banging the door shut about 5 times. Am seriously stressed about it all.

3:48 am

puglet

I can understand why you would be! Holding you in my thoughts

3:48 am

sprite

:)

3:49 am

puglet

Hope the door is still on its hinges--LOL

3:50 am

grannyrose

sprite,still trying to work out how to advise you, if at all. am very aware of the therapists involved.

3:50 am

sprite

haven't checked. It was the door of Tim's room, so if it isn't, he is out of luck.

3:51 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite. good attitude...let him live with the consequences..ie no privacy

3:51 am

puglet

Thats how I would see it too

3:51 am

sprite

rose, honey, please, forget about them. I am much more interested in your point of view. Speak freely, please, and trust me to balance things out therapywise.

3:52 am

sprite

exactly. Am done with him. Goodwill has evaporated with this new outburst of aggression and attitude. Am going to call the therapist today and see if they can beat some sense in him.

3:53 am

grannyrose

okay. *takes deep breath* is there any possibility of T moving out? is there a payment of some kind he could receive from the government, which would help him to pay for his accommodation?

3:54 am

sprite

not yet, rose. But when he is 18, yes, I think so. Don't know about the payment thing, but he wants to go study chemistry. He could find a room with other students, I guess.

3:54 am

grannyrose

over here, if students can cite irrevocable differences at home, the government helps them to find a safe place to live.

3:55 am

sprite

ah yes, we have something like that as well. If we can't get through this with the youth prevention team, that will be the next step. They are there to prevent it from being necessary as much as possible.

3:56 am

grannyrose

well, take it, hun. i had to humble myself and admit that my eldest could not live with me.

3:57 am

sprite

if this continues, I don't see another way either, rose. Heartrending as it is.

3:57 am

grannyrose

sometimes the kids need to move out and fend for themselves in order to realise what they have lost.

3:58 am

grannyrose

my eldest was home again within a year, lolol

3:58 am

sprite

indeed. They think it is all fun and roses out there. They haven't a clue how protected and comfortable they are while still living at home.

3:58 am

rbud

must unlurk to say hi all, and (((hugs))) to sprite, I sympathize so much. our son just whooshed through the house a half hour or so ago, insisting drunkenly that we should let him in Hubby's shop for more beer. we both refused, so we figure he probably "broke in" and helped himself by now. wish he'd move out... he's 22 now.

3:59 am

grannyrose

awww, rbud. hugs hun

3:59 am

sprite

omg rbud, how awful :( ((((hugs)))) to you as well.

3:59 am

rbud

it was about 3:15 AM... sigh... so I'm up

4:00 am

grannyrose

i so feel for you all going through th4. it is a right-of-passage to manhood. im sorry, gals. but it seems the man child is the same the world over.

4:00 am

rbud

he's not too bad when he's sober, but man, when he's not, it's rough. not unlike most drunks.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:01 am

rbud

soooo like his dad... yet they both don't agree when I point it out

4:01 am

rbud

hiya, ruby! :)

4:01 am

grannyrose

g'day ruby

4:01 am

sprite

some girls are horrible too, rose. Not mine, but some.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad some friends are here//1

4:01 am

rubyfoo

4:01 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

4:01 am

rubyfoo

4:01 am

rubyfoo

4:01 am

sprite

can't you ask him to move out, rbud?

4:02 am

rubyfoo

{{little pugs}} still here?

4:02 am

rbud

you'd think a kid who watched his dad be a rotten drunk most all his young life would aspire to be different.

4:03 am

sprite

very true, rbud. But somehow it doesn't work that way. Very frustrating :(

4:03 am

grannyrose

so agree, sprite. i was an absolute b***h. it was my training which helped me to grow up and mature.

4:03 am

rbud

sure, we ask him several times a day. he and his girlfriend bought a little trailer and plunked it on the edge of the property, against our preferences.

4:03 am

sprite

oh rose, hard to imagine you being bi***y.

4:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, all those hormones, and a narcissistic mother...

4:04 am

sprite

sounds like they don't respect you at all, rbud.

4:04 am

rbud

she's a sweet kid, don't know how she puts up with him. works two jobs and hopes he'll change... sounds like me.

4:04 am

sprite

well good for you, rose! I was a mess at that age. All bitterness and fright.

4:05 am

rbud

oh, it was supposed to be only for a couple of weeks, and now they're winterizing it, lol!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

It sounds t me still, that Tim needs to be in an in-patient facility until they sort out some meds for him. His sporadic violence sounds dangerous for him and for your whole family. That's Nel sticking her big nose in. Sorry

4:06 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like he's waaaay beyond talking

4:07 am

sprite

they try to hold out as long as possible, ruby, in order to prevent him having a label when growing up. But yes, talking doesn't seem to work.

4:07 am

rbud

it's actually sorta better than it used to be, ours used to break windows and smash doors quite often. he's quit that, at least.

4:09 am

sprite

I think Tim isn't that vandalistic, rbud, thank God. But he seems to have so much rage inside of him. Don't know where it comes from.

4:09 am

grannyrose

rbud, sounds like my youngest who suffered from oppositional defiant disorder. the arguments we had...

4:10 am

rbud

we don't have much in the way of in-patient stuff here any more, it all closed down. now they only have rehab and jail.

4:10 am

sprite

sort of after-the-fact mopping up stuff :(

4:10 am

grannyrose

sprite, it's called testosterone. come to think of it, has his levels been checked?

4:10 am

rbud

yup, I've heard that term applied to our son. and adhd, and bipolar...

4:11 am

sprite

no... will keep that in mind, rose. Will ask.

4:11 am

puglet

back==our electic went out for some reason/ Hi Ruby and rbud

4:11 am

grannyrose

rbud, do you have access to a good psychiatric unit. it was the only thing which straightened out my boy.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

4:12 am

rbud

and manic depressive, and... and... nothing really fits. I figure he's just a mouthy opinionated kid, myself.

4:12 am

rbud

nope, like I said, they closed most all that down these days. he's been in rehab for extended stays twice, got lots of good counseling, but it doesn't stick.

4:12 am

it can be helpful to have a diagnosis, but only if it really fits.

4:13 am

grannyrose

no, dearest, rbud. he is a young man crying out for help. ask some questions yourself, find out what is available. i will bet my last dollar, he is not happy with what is happening to him.

4:15 am

grannyrose

extend your circle of research, rbud. there has to be some where, someone who can help him. it maybe in another state.

4:15 am

rbud

Oh, I know he says he's not happy, but then he is, and he's cheery enough when he's cooking up something good for he and his girl to eat - at 4 AM - or working on some mechanical project - very good at that kind of stuff.

4:16 am

grannyrose

the mood swings are very typical of a hormone imbalance.

4:17 am

rbud

we've been around and around about it over the years, been dealing with this since he was about 11 or 12... no luck. He's 22, too old for medical card, so no money for treatments, and he's fed up with all that, anyway.

4:18 am

puglet

Iam heading out, our electric is flickering so hugs to you all

4:18 am

grannyrose

well both times he is using the creative side of his brain....not the logical. that is quite usual.

4:18 am

rbud

oh, dear, pug, good luck and hugs

4:18 am

grannyrose

see you tomorrow dear pugs.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

bye little pugs, ight a candle!

4:20 am

rbud

yes, and he was quite obsessed with his band for years, but they've folded up now. He's very intelligent, but easily bored.

4:20 am

grannyrose

rbud, could you do some research on the internet. type in his symptoms, see what comes up. find out if there is a natural remedy. he might be more open to that.

4:21 am

grannyrose

many american companies have affordable natural remedies. i know. i use them.

4:21 am

rbud

they say kids learn by example, but I read a lot, worked full time for years, don't drink, etc. - and neither of our kids reads or works... one's too fond of drinking, the other - well I worry about her, too.

4:21 am

sprite

low frustration tolerance maybe as well. Not easy, rbud.

4:23 am

rbud

I was often told by his counselors that he was probably self-medicating by using pot, and I tend to agree - he was always agreeable and mellow then. (I know a stoned person when I see them, lol)

4:25 am

rbud

but of course that's illegal still, and has all the stigma attached, which I don't agree with, but am tired of caring whether it's legal or not, I was loudly for its legalization way back in the '70s and gave up.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

we are so lucky to have each other, both for advice and for sounding boards. Sometimes our various shared experiences help, too, even though we've all gone through different things with our kids

4:27 am

rbud

still think it's silly to lock up stoned people and use our tax monies to "fight a war" against it. Any other drugs, yes, fight away, but who really cares any more about pot? it beats being a drunk, in my observations over the years.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

absolutely, rbud!

4:29 am

sprite

amen to that, rbud

4:31 am

rubyfoo

have to go deal with poor old Burt

4:31 am

rbud

wish my old man had been a devoted stoner instead of a violent drunk, would have been much more pleasant.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids

4:31 am

sprite

good luck, ruby *hug*

4:32 am

rubyfoo

stoners never hurt anybody, they just eat a lot and go to sleep very mellow

4:32 am

rbud

s'long and (((hugs))) ruby

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could give some to But or at least some Xanax. Maybe he'd feel better

4:33 am

rbud

yup, exactly. and they don't start violent bar fights, or climb towers and shoot folks...

4:33 am

sprite

and if they do, they can't aim very well...

4:34 am

rbud

rofl!!!

4:35 am

rbud

what can I say, my ancient grampa smoked dope, I know he did, I recognized the smell years later. he was a mellow fellow. I just don't see the harm.

4:35 am

grannyrose

ruby, cookies, dear, bake him some marijuana cookies. he will love the taste, and you will love the effect.

4:36 am

rbud

grampa was of the generation that grew hemp as a cash crop, he once said "there's nothing more relaxing than standing downwind from a good hemp fire" and I never forgot it. I was about 9 when I heard him say it.

4:37 am

rbud

only figured it out much later on.

4:38 am

rbud

yes, smuggle it into his food, ruby! hubby has a cousin who puts "green" butter on everything, swears by it!

4:39 am

rbud

grows it all himself. according to those who indulge, it's of the finest quality. the man is near 70 and has been growing it for 50 years.

4:40 am

rbud

well, enough from me. and it's all quiet here now, yay.

4:41 am

sprite

thank God, rbud. I hope it stays that way. And I also hope you will find a way to have him move out and give you more peace in the home.

4:42 am

rbud

he and the girlfriend are working on it. they've applied for housing near where she works, and near her mom, too, so we have our fingers crossed.

4:43 am

rbud

only about 15 miles away, but it's a start.

4:43 am

sprite

fingers, toes and bowels crossed :)

4:44 am

rbud

we keep telling her he's her problem now, she just giggles.

4:44 am

sprite

yeah, a good start. And then change the locks so he can't walk in on you anymore.

4:45 am

rbud

locks? we haven't used those in a long time, haha.

4:46 am

sprite

lol, that is unimaginable for me. Such a different way to live.

4:46 am

rbud

he'd be up a ladder and in an upstairs window in a hearbeat, anyway, he and his friends did that for years.

4:46 am

rbud

"heartbeat", oops

4:46 am

sprite

oh dear... not good

4:46 am

rbud

they jokingly called it the "escalator"

4:47 am

rbud

in and out, in and out, all night long. I much prefer them visiting him way out on the edge of the property like now.

4:48 am

sprite

I couldn't do it, rbud. Would hate to have no say in my own home. I admire your patience.

4:48 am

rbud

yes, we have lost control, ever so long ago. resigned to it. well, I am, hubby still has a fit pretty much daily. does no good.

4:49 am

sprite

I couldn't. Would drive me batty.

4:49 am

rbud

if I really rant and rave, though, both kids go into a sort of shock and behave, start cleaning and being polite. they know if I'M mad, it's bad news. ;)

4:50 am

sprite

hehehe :)

4:50 am

rbud

cause I'm usually the easy-going one.

4:50 am

grannyrose

poor hubby...they have some much difficulty recognising that their son and heir is flawed. DH is the same...he has only recently accepted that his son has aspberger's.

4:52 am

rbud

isn't that the truth! my hubby didn't expect a son who doesn't worship his every word and do everything the way he wants, and right the heck now! he just doesn't believe life could be so unfair as to give him such a kid.

4:53 am

sprite

lol, you two

4:54 am

rbud

I still think the day will come when they'll come to some sort of mutual respect, or at least I hope so. ever the optimist, me.

4:54 am

grannyrose

lolol, rbud, i presented my then hubby with 3 very individual and independent sons...i guess its no wonder he(hubby) reacted in such a violent way to the boys.

4:55 am

grannyrose

sprite, you learning anything, here?

4:56 am

sprite

we don't expect Tim to comply with our every wish and we don't need him to be a copy of either of us. But just a bit of civility and respect would be appreciated. And carrying his share of the load too.

4:56 am

sprite

not really, rose, except that we are not alone iin our struggles... which is a very comforting thought.

4:56 am

grannyrose

when i think on it...when i let fly, all 4 took off for the hills, so to speak...

4:57 am

ivesy3

my ex doesnt have anything to do with our son.doesnt like that he is an addict. ironic becus he was a drug enforement deputy. but has no patience to deal with his own son. i know this is part of my sons problem even though he wont admit it

4:57 am

sprite

yeah... usually when I get really mad, people listen, even Tim. But I can't go through life being really mad all the time.

4:57 am

grannyrose

darling, if you can, let Tim go...he desperately wants it.

4:58 am

sprite

that is so painful, ivesy. I can understand keeping him at a distance so he can't harm you and yours. But not wanting to have to do anything with him... it is still his son, right?

4:58 am

grannyrose

ives, my heart goes out to you. i didnt have to deal with addiction in a major way.

4:59 am

rbud

the effect is lost if you use it too much, anyway, sprite, as has happened to hubby - no one listens to him any more, when he's mad, we just sidestep away and tune him out.

4:59 am

ivesy3

still his son yes.. so hurtful.. i saw his bio on line and it says he has one son... the way he and his present son adopted.. i never told jay that

4:59 am

sprite

if he wants to move out, rose, I will let him go

4:59 am

sprite

omg ivesy... so sad.

5:00 am

ivesy3

present wife adopted that is. major headache today cant see sstraight lol

5:02 am

sprite

rbud, lol. Yeah, that is exactly what happens if you overuse it. Plus it is bad for blood pressure and all.

5:02 am

*gentle hugs and butterfly kisses* ives, sorry that you have so much pain.

5:03 am

sprite

*sending healing vibes to ivesy*

5:04 am

grannyrose

ives, i know it hurts, hun. my own eldest has decided his father's second wife is his mother. i do not count.

5:04 am

ivesy3

ty..sometimes feels good to get it all out. been just me and jay for so long...i never gave up.many times i wanted to but i held on.. now he is clean and sober, taking a class at community college and looking for a job.. hasnt used in 4 months

5:05 am

ivesy3

5:05 am

sprite

5:05 am

grannyrose

5:05 am

5:06 am

grannyrose

ives, dont get me wrong. i give thanx every day for my other two sons.

5:07 am

ivesy3

5:12 am

ivesy3

i would like to kick my exes ass lol.. push it in his face look how far your son has come.. what an ahole

5:12 am

ivesy3

oh are kids.. what they put us through. we werent like that growing up

5:12 am

sprite

he sounds like a son to be proud of, ivesy. At least he realised he was going the wrong way and is trying to do something about it.

5:14 am

rbud

I was, gave mom fits, dared to leave the yard at 16, moved out at 17, she insisted I must be a drug addict since I didn't behave.

5:14 am

sprite

fireflies. I have to be off, am trying to contact the therapists to see if anything can be done before the weekend. *hugs* and I hold you all in my thoughts and prayers.

5:14 am

ivesy3

have a good day sprite!

5:15 am

grannyrose

yeah, ives, know exactly where you are coming from...and i know you won't do it...for your son's sake..your son wants the acclamation from his daddy on his daddy's accord.

5:15 am

5:21 am

rbud

I do most of the helping with computers myself, the locals don't ask for much, just want to know how to get email accounts and look for jobs, or are taking a few online classes.

5:22 am

5:28 am

rbud

ours is just one big room. small town, only about 350 people. lucky to have a library at all, the only other things in town are two bars and the post office, and a small motel out on the highway that somehow stays in business.

5:29 am

rbud

the K-8 school closed, finally, last year, sad to see it. now they all get bussed off to a bigger school.

5:32 am

ivesy3

we have a small library in a village of brocton. sounds a bit like yours.. but thank god for libraries.. the higher ups dont realize all we do

5:32 am

rbud

we're right on a historical canal with old locks and such, and a small lake. Sort of popular with tourists and bicyclists who ride the canal path. Lots of train buffs come through, too, as the town has a big train history. Take pics of freights passing through, and the depot.

5:34 am

rbud

they're so impressed by the trains, -not like us, who live with them right in our side yard, lol - there's one out there now, switching. Back, forth, back, forth... don't even hear it any more after 22 years here.

5:35 am

ivesy3

well coffee time. nice chatting with you rbud. fun hearing about other librarys and what they are doing

reading back about libraries. We fought tooth and nail for a new one about 5 year ago.we lost our old Carnigie library in the 30,s and the one that replaced it was in a ugly utilitarian one floor building that the town already owned and just kept patching up. We then had the chance of a Small grant from the government to build a new one. So we looked at where we stored our town historical records in one building, we had our coast guard marine office in another and the town selectmen in others,all public offices all paid for by taxpayers. The town turned to the locals for hep and we raised 4 million dollars without a single effort and built a beautiful 4 story library to house all the books,all the historical records and all the public offices i listed.it even has a green roof you can go up on in the summer and relax and read amongst a nature wonder space.the town closed all the other unneeded offices and the building has now paid for itself.it is our pride and joy. A town with out a good library is a town that is lost and ill.

so true crossy..will find out when i go to work today how much the mayor cut our budget again.

7:12 am

crosshair

it is funny we had to raise 4 mill for the library and raised it in less than 6 months but we just raised 10 mil for the hospital and it took over a year so in the public eye both are of roughly equal importance to us

7:12 am

crosshair

i am sorry they are cutting your funding,ivesy:(

7:12 am

ivesy3

and at the end of the year, they have to raise our hourly rate to $8 an hr., so that wont help the budget

7:13 am

Marc Freeman

go8, please

7:13 am

ivesy3

last year we had to cut hrs. that we were open a bit. imagine that will happen again. we do a lot of fund raisers but people just dont have, or want to donate money.

7:13 am

like the go7 but add a vowel after the O

thanks

7:14 am

ty lb!

7:14 am

we find that the tighter things get financial wise,job wise etc the more a library is needed,not less.it becomes a valuable resource to those who can no longer afford extras like buying new books or having computers at home. it helps with job searches,resumes,childrens story hour. it displays local artists works so many things i cannot list them all

7:15 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito!! last word in8. this was a tough grid! ty to all cluers.

7:15 am

RoundBarn

our town--Spfld Il--has had all three branches eliminated, where many kids did homework after school--and the main library drastically cut. We have started a library for kids in a local church in our imoverished neighborhood. And I sam going to build one of those corner bookhouses that stand on poles all over Madison and Mlpds--you bring a book, take a book. Any sort. They are v popular.

7:15 am

crosshair

yaa for lbd!

7:16 am

crosshair

very good idea, roundbarn.i have seen those take a boo/leave a book kiosks in other towns and they are very popular here

7:16 am

ivesy3

yes, that is what our patrons come in for. use computers to find jobs.. kids come in all the time and so do the adults. they line up waiting for us to open.. but , the leaders of the city dont care.

7:17 am

remember that nect time you vote for your town leaders

A cow in an apartment on the 23rd floor is a bit unwieldy. He can live on the terrace. We can use the milk.

8:17 am

hurshy

't seen that i probably would be skeptical too

8:18 am

bichon

I don't feel comfortable about a chiropractor touching my neck

8:19 am

hurshy

i just wish that chiropractors would be less down on regular medicine and regular medicine would be less down on chiropractors. it seems a bit silly to me.

8:19 am

crosshair

my wife had a terrible experience with one and it has rubbed off on me i suppose

8:20 am

hurshy

well, i mean, i had my tonsils out and as a result, i have migraines now. but does that put me off all surgeons? i mean, things do go wrong.

8:20 am

crosshair

not saying all are bad,but i will explore other options for now

8:22 am

crosshair

since we are dealing with my spinal column and nerves here, i plan on being rather particular.i am too young to be in a wheelchair yet

8:23 am

hurshy

yeah - i totally understand. i am not one to be all rah rah everyone has to go to a chiropractor.

8:23 am

crosshair

but,in the end,if it boils down to surgery and fusion,i will seek a chiro first

8:24 am

hurshy

that makes sense, that's how i would feel too

8:24 am

crosshair

i have seen too many friends worse off after spinal fusion surgery and it scares the crap out of me

9:46 am

now you can watch anything with Idris Elba or Tom Selleck with even bigger pleasure!

9:46 am

Riverdance

to name a few.....

9:46 am

Riverdance

am loving some of this falls new shows

9:46 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves those very big and tall actors

9:46 am

Riverdance

and tired of the little piece of crap her bought a year ago when our old one broke....

9:47 am

was Luther shown on US tv?

9:47 am

9:47 am

Riverdance

haven't heard of that one

9:47 am

Riverdance

I am loving Blacklist and Hostages

9:47 am

The just ran the first two episodes of Lillyhammer which is an absolute riot

9:47 am

Riverdance

and of course Revolution is back

9:47 am

Riverdance

dont know that one either

9:48 am

Riverdance

and I cant wait for the sound when I watch the Voice

9:48 am

rubyfoo

Lther is BBC, Lillyhammer starts Steven Van Zandt, one of the heavies from Sopranos, you might call it "crime comes to Norway", very funny idea

9:48 am

Riverdance

I'm hoping it will be delivered soon - haven't gotten a date yet - couldn't bring it home because it wouldn't fit in my car.

9:49 am

rubyfoo

What we get on Fr TV is pretty random, e.g. only had one season of The Wire (also with Idris Elba), so I bought the DVD's

9:49 am

rubyfoo

how big is it?

9:49 am

Riverdance

I dont usually watch BBC - my son loves that Top Gear show.....some of it is amusing to me

9:49 am

Riverdance

Its a 60" Samsung Plasma HD

9:50 am

Riverdance

because you cant lay them down I couldn't take it. My car is not tall enough

9:50 am

rubyfoo

BBC series are usually very well-made, like MI5. I don't know which are shown in the US

9:50 am

rubyfoo

WOW! That's big aws alright!

9:52 am

Riverdance

I have been talking about it for a long time and finally just went out and did it.....this will be with me for a long time so I decided to get the biggest one I could afford. Unfortunatley I couldn't afford the LED so had to go with the Plasma but I do like the color better anyway.

9:52 am

Riverdance

and I already have an HD cable box set up......whooohoooo

9:53 am

rubyfoo

I don't know the difference. For me, the only problem with HD is that you learn a little bit too much about actors' skins

9:53 am

Riverdance

some skin is worth looking at.....

9:53 am

rubyfoo

on the other hand, it's nice to know that even the beauties aren't perfect. LOL

9:53 am

Riverdance

since I dont have any other skin to look at - I will pick and choose on my TV

** finito ** last word TH 6 / 27

3:54 pm

Soodle

Nope. Still here, Molly.

3:56 pm

Soodle

Well done Teach! And Molly, I'm like a swan.... Appearing serene on the surface, but feet going like the clappers out of sight. :-/

3:59 pm

Soodle

On a positive note, the Credit Union approved my loan for a replacement for my deceased car. Whoo-Hoo!

4:02 pm

Soodle

I know (from watching Breaking Bad) that you guys in the US have credit unions. They are the only financial institutions in this country who are lending money at the moment. Bless them!

4:02 pm

MollyL

This is from my Oxford Dictionary Of Celtic Mythology...In early Irish literary tradition the swan is often depicted as the epitome of purity, beauty, and potential good luck.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Rofl laughing Molls! My knowledge of swans is that they are bad tempered, hissing

4:04 pm

Soodle

cranky old birds!! Take your pick!!! Lol

4:08 pm

MollyL

Yes, but you know better than I that an Irish story teller can take something plain and dress it up into a gorgeous myth...how else could the stories of Selkies come to pass?

4:10 pm

Soodle

If you haven't already done so, Molls, have a read of The Children Of Lir.

4:11 pm

MollyL

Done so, love it.

4:13 pm

Soodle

Update on my Dad. He has responded well to the treatments for pneumonia & salmonella. However, he is very debilitated, and still unable to stand unaided. As things are, its out of the question that he could come home. We are still in a state of crisis. Meh!

4:13 pm

crosshair

i am sorry about your da,soodles and wish him a speedy recovery

4:16 pm

Soodle

Thanks Crossy. My crisis state was compounded by the demise of my car, which made it nigh on impossible to get into see him. Hopefully, this will be addressed at theweekend, when I will acquire a replacement chariot!

4:16 pm

Soodle

Again again I bless the Credit Union!

4:17 pm

crosshair

i have used a credit union for over 22 years now and would neverchange

4:17 pm

MollyL

These kinds of illness take their toll on the elders. Blessings to you Dad, Soodle.

4:20 pm

Soodle

Molls, when you visit here, I'll take you to The Garden Of Rememberance in Dublin. Theres a wonderful sculpture of the Children of Lir. When the Queen of England visited last year, she was taken there, so, you will be following august footsteps.

4:21 pm

Soodle

Amen, Crossy!

4:22 pm

Soodle

Molly, has your sister returned from her travels?

4:29 pm

Soodle

Wah. The Irish breeze seems to have taken MollyL. I'm disappointed. Its time for bed, so, night, Crossy & any lurkers.

"What do you want?"

Research suggests that our conscious minds aren't so much in charge of the decisions we make as they are great rationalizers of them. Which means they often collude with our unconscious minds to craft stories about why we do things and even why we feel things that are just blatantly untrue. We often have far more invested in seeing ourselves as virtuous, noble, fair-minded, and good than we do in recognizing the truth: that we often want things and therefore do things that make us base, selfish, self-righteous, and unjust.

10:45 pm

rbud

sounds like our son... haha! but really, not surprising. I have often thought folks are even better at lying to themselves than they are to others.

10:52 pm

o-o

I have asked many what they want from life. The vast majority of those who answered were surprised at the question, thought everyone pretty wanted the same thing and probably had never put a lot of thought into the matter.

11:18 pm
