2:14 am
grannyrose

2:14 am
puglet
ahh hope He feels better--I hate those kind of headaches
2:15 am
Lizlin
But you'd much rather look at the scenery!
2:16 am
grannyrose

we got severe storms coming our way tomorrow due to this heat wave passing through
2:29 am

how do the chickens react to a storm?
2:29 am
puglet
they go to their roost most of the time
2:30 am
joso
DH doesn't sound too good rose, do you think he might hbe getting the flue again?
2:31 am
puglet
yesterday I seen three bluebirds fighting sparrows over a nesting box and I thought they went south for the winter
2:31 am
puglet
I thought the chinises food might had not settled good with him
2:32 am
grannyrose
joso, wash your mouth out...i certainly hope not.
2:32 am
puglet
but I have had headaches that have made me throw up that they get so bad
2:33 am
joso
I hope not too, be a shame to spoil your trip
2:33 am
Lizlin
Reaction to msg in the Chinese food perhaps.
2:34 am
puglet
and for Rose to get the flu when her surgery is right around the bend
2:34 am
grannyrose
he noticed when we arrived at this motel that he could smell the sawn lumber behind the buildings. he thinks it has set of an inflammation in his sinuses, hence the headache.
2:34 am
joso
hopeful bad food of some sort, then it'll pass quickly
2:35 am
grannyrose
omg, liz, there was msg in the food last night. i remember asking himself should we ask for it to be left out.
2:36 am
Lizlin
If so, hopefully he'll feel better soon.
2:37 am
Lizlin
So many people react to msg and it's used so much!
2:37 am
grannyrose
okay, just asked him. pain is better, and he agrees, as we haven't had msg in ever so long, that may well be it.
2:38 am
puglet
what is msg?
2:38 am
grannyrose
liz, in victoria, it is used very infrequently.
2:38 am
grannyrose
pugs, it's a chemical flavour-enhancer.
2:39 am
grannyrose
mono-sodium-gluconate
2:39 am
joso
it's a flavor enhancer that alot of Chinese food places use, kind of like salt
2:39 am
puglet
dont know that Ive had that
2:39 am
Lizlin
Much better. My experience is from a couple of places in London. We always asked for food without msg.
2:40 am
puglet
since I live in the backwoods Ive not heard of it around here
2:40 am
Lizlin
Just call me Dr. Liz! Lol!
2:40 am
joso
if you eat Chinese you probably have
2:41 am
puglet

puglet
cant say Ive ever been sick from eating there or at Mc either
2:43 am
joso
fine for most people, but some are sensitive to it
2:43 am
Lizlin
Msg can also make you hyper and twitchy.
2:43 am
puglet
since I dont work at the nursing home anymore I rarely get sick from flu or other air born illnesses

3:30 am

Well, to be fair the staff are all very nice, but I wasn't happy because I didn't want to go to waterloo for obvious reasons and we tried to ring district nurse but there was nobody there all day!
3:30 am

We're fine. Give my love to sis.
3:30 am

No joso it's a district in liverpool uk x
3:31 am
worzel
will do chriss - she's looking over my shoulder now and sends hers back
3:31 am
joso
where is this wound?
3:32 am
worzel
the wound is on my tummy - i had appendectomy but because it was gangrenous they had to go in via my tummy so i have an open wound about 3 inches long 2 inches wide. It's starting to heal and there's no pain now, but it needs re-dressing every other day
3:33 am
joso
would hope they could dress that properly.
3:34 am
worzel
They're using a new style of plaster - it's easier on the skin when it's peeled off, but I think I'll suffer the waxing and ask for the old style plasters again - at least they stayed in place! There's one particular district nurse who is a right cow - she comes in and literally RIPS the plaster off!
3:35 am
joso
I asked because I had a wound in an awkward spot, dressings would not stay in place until i had the idea of adult diapers, which did the trick.
3:35 am
joso
no use to you though
3:36 am
worzel
Well, the plasters they're now using are about 5inch square and they feel like nappies (diapers) but, like i said, because they're easy peel-off's they don't seem to stick to the skin for very long. I told the nurse that yesterday and she said i could stretch the plaster back into place so I did, only for it to come away at the other bloody end! I can't win lol
3:37 am
worzel
Still, compared to the agony I was in on the morning before my op I can't complain about a plaster
3:39 am
worzel
oh lordy that's the third time i've done that today - im so sorry!
3:39 am
joso
no, a pain in the butt, and you want to avoid infection of course, but not a big problem anymore.
3:41 am
worzel
It's my own fault really - I thought it was trapped wind. Was in pain for 4 days in mid tummy area, but after 4 days went to dr and he sent me str8 to hospital. The surgeon said it was so bad that when he opened me up the appendix literally fell off in his hand and my stomach was being poisoned. I was extremely lucky, methinks!
3:44 am
joso
yea, seems to be a male thing, 'I'll just shrug this off'
3:44 am
worzel
weirdest part of it all is that 5 years ago my sister had the same thing when she was 1 day younger than I was when i had mine. sisters and brothers have some strange connections, i guess!
3:49 am
worzel
Right, I guess I'd best get up and get dressed. Am off into town today to have a pre-Christmas snoop. I hope you all have a good day/evening and hopefully will speak to you all again soon. Take care y'all xx

If thine enemy wrong thee, buy each of his children a drum. - African proverb
5:23 am
sprite
all in all pretty good, zooz. Our car is fixed now, we are mobile again. Meeting went well, though it was very taxing... they wanted to look at my parents and Rob's. Lots of bad memories. But it is behind us and from now on things will be better.
5:23 am
zoozzoom
Hello, o-o
5:23 am
sprite
lolol o-o! That is so wicked. Glad to see you.
5:24 am
zoozzoom
That is good news, Sprite, bringing up bad memories can be difficult i am sure.But if it helps in the long run, then it must be worth it i am sure.
5:25 am
sprite
often, you can see some patterns recurring through the generations... and they resonate through into your current family. Worth looking into.
5:33 am
sprite
and am so very happy with the car being fixed. Free to go when and where we need again.
5:33 am
zoozzoom
Sorry..had phone call...Yes i agree...funny how we often say when i grow up i am going to be different to how my parents were..yet as you say we find we carry many traits of our parents..and some of them not good.
5:34 am
zoozzoom
Yes i remember you saying the loan had come through..glad you managed to gat your car fixed..so restricting without one.
5:34 am
sprite
real life comes first :)
Yeah, as you say, some of them not good. And also, we sometimes tend to overreact. Like when we weren't cuddled enough, we may tend to overcuddle our own children. Who in their turn again may not cuddle their kids enough. etc.

Survival-oriented changes in the brain are necessary for the children who face threats to their fundamental protective relationships and their very survival. When the brain stays in survival mode beyond its funcational necessity, three key self-regulation systems in the brain are impacted: the reward/ motivation systems (centering on midbrain areas responsive to the neurotransmitter dopamine), the distress tolerance systems (centering on limbic brain areas responsive to the neurotransmitters serotonin and adrenaline), and “executive” systems for emotion and information processing (centered on the medial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices).
The result is that the child grows up with a brain that has been hijacked by its own alarm system, as we described in Hijacked by Your Brain. This can lead to serious problems including alcohol and substance use, health risks such as smoking and obesity, mental health outcomes such as depression and suicidality, and social risks such as violent relationships, teen pregnancy, and delinquency (see www.cdc.gov/ace/). http://tinyurl.com/lbcquwx

wow... that is interesting. Thanks o-o. Very apt for me.
5:37 am

Very interesting, o-o, and thanks for the link at the bottom..will take a look at that later...as the depression & other bad thoughts..i can relate to.
5:38 am
sprite
copied it in a word doc and will check out the links later on as well. Might even translate this text for my therapists.
5:41 am
zoozzoom
I do like your attitude, Sprite, with the "From now on things wil be better " A nice positive attitude to have.
5:42 am
sprite
:) I try to be aware that all we can change is the now. And if we do that with all we have learned, that we may make the future a better place to live in.
5:42 am
zoozzoom
Amen to that.
5:43 am
zoozzoom
How far are you with the gr4, Sprite?
5:43 am
o-o
So much is unknown about the effects of childhood trauma. Some professionals insist reliving the trauma is essential to desensitizing it.
5:43 am
sprite
let me see... 13 left and struggling
5:44 am
sprite
yeah. And others think that reliving it is adding to the trauma.
5:44 am
sprite
and you, zooz? How are you doing with the gr4?
5:45 am
zoozzoom
I can see how that would work in many situations, o-(, to help understand where it went wrong for yourself.And how to cope and learn from it.
5:46 am
zoozzoom
I need one more F but am struggling..i have fa6,fa5,fa,fi4,fi5
5:46 am

The dilemma is in the treatment. It is hard to change learned behavior without a grasp of the behavior involved.
5:46 am
sprite
I have a fu5/22
5:46 am
zoozzoom
I meant o-o..this keypad is hard to type with.
5:49 am
sprite
That is true. I think, from my own experience, that a certain amount of reliving and remembring and revaluating is indeed essential. And when most is clear, it is time to move on and learn how to cope and act in the now, and look to the future.
5:49 am
zoozzoom
Thank you..looking.
5:50 am
zoozzoom
It is the breaking of old habits and thought patterns i found very hard to do..depression can be very cruel..lol
5:51 am
zoozzoom
Found it. Thank you, Sprite..knowing the first twp leters certainly helps..lol
5:51 am
sprite
oh I agree. Once you spent 30 years thinking selfdestructive thoughts, they feel like old shoes or an old coat... shabby, sure, but so very comfortable and so very much 'you'.
5:51 am
sprite
hehehe ain't that the truth...
5:54 am
o-o
I am told I have a treatment resistant illness ... the pros are reluctant to tell me whether the resistance is mine or the the illness
5:54 am
zoozzoom
Comfortable yes i could not agree more..it is so easy to just slip back into the old me..i have to keep self assessing myself..although i have found over time..it is getting easier..and thats where the breaking the old cycle patterns come in.
5:54 am
sprite
well, in that case they suck. It is part of the illness, of course. You wouldn't _choose_ to feel like this.
5:55 am
sprite
same here, zooz. I can so easily slip back, and sometimes I catch myself riding the downward spiral. I guess that is progress though, grin. The catching, I mean.
5:56 am
zoozzoom
Not sure i quite folow, o-o, do you mean..like that you don't see you have a problem..or that you do not see your problem is not as big as they make out...sorry for being dumb..or if the question was too personal..then do not answer.
5:56 am
o-o
they also tell me I have a personality this is not conducive to therapy. So, I expect they have answered the question.
5:57 am
o-o
the implication is the illness is treatable but I resist making the changes required to treat it.
5:58 am
sprite
sorry to be rude but that is such a heap of baloney. If the resistance to change is huge, it simply means the pain it covers is even more huge. And more is needed to build a bridge and gather up enough courage and strength to experiment with changes. Blaming it on the patient stinks.
5:58 am
zoozzoom
Ahh i understand you now, o-o
5:59 am
sprite
the implication is: since I cannot cure you, you are to blame. And that is a rotten thing to say and do to a patient.
5:59 am
zoozzoom
Yes you make a very good point there, Sprite.
6:00 am
zoozzoom
These thiings can take many many years to help to try and understand...sounds like they can not be bothered for the long trip.
6:01 am
o-o
Life is so fun!
6:01 am
zoozzoom
If that is the case, o-o, i fel for you.
6:01 am
zoozzoom
Aint that the truth..lol
6:03 am
sprite
lol... yeah, life is SO fun... when you are depressed, and suffering from childhood trauma, and war trauma, and can't find a way out... of course you would resist treatment... that is why you went out of your way, facing so many fears, just looking for help...
6:03 am
zoozzoom
Actually i do feel beter within myself that i did a few years ago. And i am more positive for the future..Also yes i am finding life can be more fun, more times now than not..so that has got to be a good thing.
6:04 am
sprite
you came such a long way, zooz. And you are still working on it. That is great.
6:05 am
zoozzoom
Agreed, Sprite, I was wondering if there was anyone else, o-o, could turn to for guidance.
6:05 am
rubyfoo
I underand depression, having been through 3 bout of "clinical depression" many years ago. Medication helped me get through them plus psychotherapy. And I continued working (teaching) through the whole thing
6:06 am
o-o
I have learned enough to realize what I might do to function at a higher level. Words like cure, recovery, happiness for me are slippery concepts and for me meaningless.
6:06 am
rubyfoo
some of it was situational, some physical.
6:06 am
sprite
hi ruby :) Depression comes in many shades and shapes. Some will react to medication, others simply don't.
6:06 am

Thank you, Sprite, And may i say..You too have come a long way. from the things you have told me(us..as in babble..lol) i am proud of you and the way you try and help people. even though you have your own problems.

Hello, Kallia, Long time no see :-)
6:08 am

I hear you, o-o. Functioning at a higher level than before is sometimes the best one can do. I truly wish things were different for you. But I know you have tried everything you could think of to make them so. At least your searching and your willingness to share is helping other people, like me. *hugs*
6:08 am

6:08 am

hi Kallia, not butting in, glad you are joining our chat! :)
6:08 am
rubyfoo
now, when I 'm down in the dumps, it's situatioal and understandable. One of the key things I learned from all that therapy was "Is your reaction appropriate or not?"
6:08 am
zoozzoom
Ditto on that, Sprite.
6:09 am
Kallia
it's catching that moment to say that Ruby and that isn't always possible
6:10 am
sprite
yep, very good question, ruby. Nothing wrong with feeling down when things are bad. I have such a question too, for myself: in stead of asking: "Is what I do good enough?" I ask: "Am I doing what is good for me?"
6:10 am
rubyfoo
it took several years and several different therapists to reach that point: a behavior modificatio guy, a Freudian, a Gestalrt, etc
6:11 am
zoozzoom
Still need 23 more words..but off to help parents with the lunch..Very nice talking to you all..hope to see you all again soon.Bye for now.
6:11 am

so true, Kallia. Sometimes we are already too far down the drain to realise it is happening again, before we think of asking such a question. It is as with it all, I guess... we can't do more than try our best.

A favorite quote:
One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore. ~Charles Horton Cooley
6:13 am
sprite
the problem with that is, that when problems are also with the hormones and the way the brain functions, we cannot reach deep enough cognitively. We can think we change stuff, but it is just a battle and waiting to slip back.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
eactly, sprite, that's why I needed a combination
6:14 am
Kallia
oh I agree wholeheartedly Sprite...it isn't (usually) enough on it's on
6:14 am
sprite
Cooley knew, from own experience, no doubt. That is so true.
6:15 am
Kallia
I haven't heard that before oo, but it is so true
6:16 am
sprite
indeed, ruby, and then you were one of the lucky ones for whom medication made a difference, so you could benefit from CBT. I am also lucky that way. But some people are not. It is incredibly hard to find the right combination of medicines for each individual.
6:16 am
Kallia
I can make superficial friendships easily...but once they need to move on I seem to back off....and they fade away

6:19 am
Kallia
it's when you're not you that the trouble starts
6:20 am
o-o
I would get upset when told to "just get over it." Now I know having more than an existence requires changes required to get over it.
6:20 am
Kallia
aw Sprite that is so lovely x
6:21 am

omg, 'just get over it'. Yeah right. Hey you with that broken leg, just get over it and walk. And you there with that belly wound, get over it and stop bleeding.
6:21 am

getting old is not for sissies!
6:23 am

and I think so too, o-o. To be able to make changes, there have to be a lot of requisites in place first. And finding which ones are essential and how to get them in place, that is a whole therapy in itself.
6:23 am
Kallia
it isn't you are right...I refuse to do that!
6:23 am

ohhhh that last one is so important, o-o! To break it down to steps you can actually succeed in making. Absurdly easy indeed... for outsiders. But for oneself... still so hard.
6:29 am

I do that o-o, it does help to get me moving sometimes
6:30 am

same here. When I can't make myself get dressed, I start with getting socks and just putting them on my desk, ready to put on. If that isn't sad, I don't know what is... but it helps.

crossy, his CEA levels are up (this is a tumor antigen); they want to measure it once more to establish a trend but if it is up again it may mean the cancer is coming back. But we won't know for another month.

Indeed harp!

10:37 am
uusue2
thanks, jill! hopefully it is nothing; there are other benign things (like infection) that can make it go up too, so they really don't start to worry until it goes up twice in a row
10:37 am

can you imagine if fridges and stoves were as reliable as computers, lol
5:04 pm
cybernan
the one we just replaced was 22 years old, so didn't owe us anything and is still going strong as the overflow fridge out in the garage.
5:04 pm
MimiCat
Appliances and computers especially are like "the little girl with the curl." Anyone remember that saying?
5:05 pm
joso
not really, sounds vaguely familier
5:06 pm
MimiCat
"When she was good, she was very very good; but when she was bad, she was horrid." Mae West paraphrased the last part to "when I'm bad, I'm better."
5:06 pm
joso
yes, it comes back to me now.
5:06 pm
MimiCat
Just to set the record straight...Mae West was WAY before my time...but I watch old movies!
5:07 pm
cybernan
the problem is when this house was built the standard door opening was 30" and all the new fridges measure at least 33" deep. We had to buy a 33" fridge to fill the old opening, so the doors had to come off before they could get it into the house. Before that we had to have the cupboard over the fridge raised 4" because all the 33" fridges are taller than they used to be. What this translates to is that there were $300 in charges over and above the cost of the fridge for delivery and space prep.
5:08 pm
cybernan
I wish I could charge such outrageous rates for the 1 and 1/2 hours it took my husband and I to get all the styrofoam, sticky tape, etc. off before we could use it!

Here's a story of clues for babblers who are still do 5/16 this gr 4/7 and trying to find hi 6/27 words. My brother is fa 6/36 a huge fi 4/7. He neglected to pick up the du 4/8 of his co 5/16 in a state park today. A park ranger, who was pa 6/30 the park, caught him. Pr 5/12 to this, he has never ever had to pay one single ticket. He tried to op6/33 ticket with a lame excuse.He told the ranger he had bad back pa4/5 and it was hard for him to bend down. Park ranger gave him a ticket anyway. He was so embarrassed, he hu4/8 his head low as he accepted the ticket.Hubby,who's a pr4/7,came in here expecting me to dr4/6 everything that I'm doing so he can use laptop. Sometimes I wish I could kick him in the gr 5/14! I hope you have reco 4/6ed my clues and ga 6/27 more words. I am going to go watch the movie The Lion Ki4/10.Bye!
