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.

is that waterloo ontario?
3:30 am
worzel

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
ChrissieDee

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

No joso it's a district in liverpool uk x
3:31 am

ah
3:31 am
worzel

will do chriss - she's looking over my shoulder now and sends hers back
3:31 am
ChrissieDee

xx
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

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

Still, compared to the agony I was in on the morning before my op I can't complain about a plaster

oh lordy that's the third time i've done that today - im so sorry!
3:39 am

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

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!

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.
5:34 am

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

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

The dilemma is in the treatment. It is hard to change learned behavior without a grasp of the behavior involved.

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.
5:56 am
o-o

that is
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

some of it was situational, some physical.

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?"

it's catching that moment to say that Ruby and that isn't always possible
6:10 am

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

it took several years and several different therapists to reach that point: a behavior modificatio guy, a Freudian, a Gestalrt, etc

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
Kallia

yes it is
6:13 am

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

eactly, sprite, that's why I needed a combination

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.

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!
