Hey there. So,did you decide on the land that you told me about?
12:55 am

That particular lot seems a bit out of reach... think 700 ft paved driveway with grading... but there is another lot that is just lovely (but not as dramatic or remote)
12:56 am
Yvooria
He has a program that lets you design the house.. never seen a man have so much fun putting a dollhouse together :)

That would run into quite a bit, just with the driveway, wouldn't it?.

don is sitting here saying i should have first selection of MIL's jewellery because of how much i did for MIL. but according to fang, all i did was cook her a bit of dinner and do a bit of her washing. * rolls eyes *
1:27 am
rururocks
I think fang should go screw herself..but that's my opinion
1:27 am

yeah pink, i'm back. so watch it...

down to 15... seems like a nice round number so will stop here - gn all

that's what puzzles me, pugs. she never said a word. my own mum told my bro' over and over that her jewellery was to come to me. but MIL never said a word.

My grandmother put the name on things that were to go to either my dad or his sister
1:32 am

granny please clarify has mil passed? and your mother?
1:32 am
grannyrose
and she told fang that a particular item of jewellery was in a certain place...and it was no where near there. do i hand it over??
1:32 am
grannyrose
pink, yes dear, my mum on the 21st nov, and MIL on the 7th dec.
1:32 am
puglet
well Rose, I would say its up to Don and his brother then. She never fretted over her daughters getting things
1:33 am
grannyrose
pugs, they are not her daughters, step-daughters only...
1:33 am
pink17
om goodness sorry for the double hit
1:33 am
puglet
what does Don think about it
1:34 am
grannyrose
it's okay pink...and in the middle, i had my revision total knee replacement.
1:34 am
puglet
I say if MIL wanted her to have those things she would of made it clear to you or don
1:35 am
grannyrose
pugs, as i said, don thinks i should have first selection...
1:35 am
joym999
argh...only one left and I can't figure it out!
1:35 am

I knew that how u feeling
1:35 am

1:36 am

then I say follow your heart on that Rose
1:37 am

thanks. I was looking at the wrong N. Some of my fireworks belong to you all, as usual!
1:37 am
grannyrose
well my heart says, give the lot to fang...i don't need the jewellery to remember MIL.
1:37 am
grannyrose
WTG JOY!!!
1:38 am
puglet
what about the other sister? Does she want anything
1:39 am
puglet
and is Fang wanting this due to it was her stepmother or is she wanting it to sale
1:39 am
grannyrose
now there lies the rub....will fang allow her anything? not sure what the answer is..
1:40 am
grannyrose
ohhh, pugs. don't know the answer to that one.
1:41 am
puglet
maybe Don should call his other sister and ask her if there is anything she wants
1:43 am
puglet
or you could do as don says and take what you want, sell off the rest and remodel the rooms for you and Don to use as you want
1:45 am
grannyrose
* giggle * pugs...my thoughts are let fang have the lot
1:47 am
puglet
I say its your choice then--do it and have it done with and I de also send along the bags of other stuff to Fang as well
1:48 am
puglet
tell her to bring a truck along-lol
1:49 am
grannyrose
so do not need any arguments...and she is so argumentative. * giggle * already have set aside heaps of letters/cards etc for her to so4 out.
1:51 am
puglet
I understand and dont blame you at all
1:51 am
grannyrose
if she doesn't turn up before christmas, we will take it all over christmas day. we are hoping to turn MIL's rooms in4 our new bedroom/sitting room, dressing room. i don't think she realises this.
1:52 am
puglet
that will be nice and what are you going to do with your bedroom you have now? Turn it in4 your music room
1:53 am
grannyrose
MIL's lounge room which will be our new bedroom/sitting room has an airconditioner in it.
1:54 am
grannyrose
yeah, pugs. our lounge room/ music room. my goodness, we will have so much space.
1:55 am
puglet
now you can get you a new tutu because now you got room to dance for Don
1:56 am
grannyrose
you should have seen her face! she said to us that she was taking half of mum's ashes to scotland. and i said, hope you don't mind company as that is where don and i will be next year.
1:57 am
puglet
Is that where MIL is from
1:57 am
grannyrose
roflol, pugs. nice thought. i might have to resuscitate don. yes, dear. she is from the isle of harris.
1:59 am
puglet
Is Don also from there? Is this why you are going there next year
2:01 am
grannyrose
no, don is australian born and bred. scotland is part of our world tour. fang couldn't understand why we never went overseas. with MIL to care for, our holidays were seriously curtailed. i want to spend 4-6 months touring the world. knowing it may be the last time ever.
2:02 am
puglet
oh, that sounds so fine! Yes, do it if you can! Dont forget the camera!
2:03 am
grannyrose
pugs, my own ancestors are from england and scotland.
2:03 am
puglet
Are you planning on doing it all by ship?
2:04 am
grannyrose
just watch out, pugs. if we go next year, i will probably be knocking on your door.
2:04 am
puglet
alright! :)
2:05 am
puglet
have you ever been in the states here
2:05 am
grannyrose
i think flying over is the best idea. may be a few cruises around the mediterranean.
2:06 am
puglet
does Don enjoy traveling too
2:06 am
grannyrose
no, dearest. it is gonna be such a buzz. so many people to see...so many places to visit..
2:06 am
grannyrose
he does now. i introduced him to the wonders of travel.
2:07 am
puglet
wow Rose, you surely are in for a treat doing all that! Will I see you two on motorbikes? LOL
2:08 am
grannyrose
lolol..sure hope so, hun. won't be travelling until i can manage to board a motorbike.
2:10 am
puglet
on tv this month they came out with a new comerical(sp) about this old women riding in a sidecar with her son and hes telling how fun it is and she says " It wasent fun for me!" makes me laugh everytime plus I think of you too -LOL
2:12 am

no side-car for me..it's the full hog or not at all. lol
2:12 am

2:16 am
grannyrose
pugs, how is your sis doing?
2:17 am
puglet
she was doing good but last night her sugar was up to all most 500 :(
2:18 am
puglet
I think a part of it is she hasent been able to get out for exercising due to the weather
2:18 am
grannyrose
egad, pugs. what happened? do you know?
2:19 am
grannyrose
ahhh, of course. do you have a stationery bike she can exercise on?
2:19 am
puglet
I dont know Rose---the reading the day before was 150
2:21 am
puglet
Rose I bought her a bike, a treadmill and other stuff but one or two days she wont bother with them any more. So I got rid of them
2:22 am
puglet
it is so hard to get her interested in anything-even things to exercise her mind
2:27 am
grannyrose
pugs, i found a player of my cd's helped me stay on the bike. does she like music?
2:29 am
puglet
she does, and Ive tried that Rose. Ive put the treadmill in front of the tv and tried putting it out on the deck in nice weather, nothing worked
2:30 am
puglet
I even got her a real bike and that didnt work either
2:31 am
grannyrose
why do i feel like the baddie here? earlier today don told me he wanted to spray the weeds encroaching on our ' newish ' landscaped backyard. now, when i suggest he go out and do it, in the cool of the day, and the area is in shade, i get 20 questions as to why he can't do it...is it me?
2:32 am
grannyrose
* sigh * pugs. i don't know what the answer is then.
2:33 am
puglet
Is it a man thing? Often times Ive aked mine to do this or that and its the same for me--did the birds ever get their water
2:35 am

ruru?? you here still? or is joso or crossy around? please give us some insight in4 the male mind.

2:40 am
puglet
Rose, I got a 40 by 40 barn , that once housed my horses and its also has a loft on each side and hubby has pretty well took it over. I cant ever store a toothpick in it for its in his way---explain that to me--lol
2:41 am
grannyrose
for goodness sake...pugs. don't know the answer to that one.
2:42 am
puglet
I even have to keep my toolbox on the back deck because theres no room in the barn for it anymore
2:42 am
grannyrose
hey, pugs..how are you going with the grid? can i assist you?
2:43 am
grannyrose
lucky you, pugs. my tool kit is in the bedroom, under the dressing table.
2:44 am
puglet
I finding it harder today, not even close to halfway so too much to ask for help yet on anything- but thanks anyway
2:46 am
puglet
truthfully I havent really gotten right down in4 it just yet either. Iam slow witted today
2:47 am
grannyrose
pugs, with so much going on in your head, i am not surprised.
2:49 am
puglet
at one time in my life I took up collecting hammers--loll Dont know why they attracted me(which they still do) but I dont often buy many any more. But I got several
2:49 am
puglet
I just sitting here enjoying you my coffee and music and the quiet of the early morning
2:51 am
grannyrose
??? hammers ?? oh my goodness!
2:52 am
puglet
I know! lol-----something about them just draws me to them at sales
2:53 am
puglet
you would be surprise of the many different kinds
2:53 am
grannyrose
* grinning * perhaps it's their latent potential.
2:54 am
puglet
it could be--:)
2:54 am
grannyrose
shouts...' look out ' to pug's hubby...
2:56 am
puglet
I wouldnt want to damage my hammers on that hard head==LOL
2:56 am
grannyrose

2:56 am
sprite
good morning all :)
2:57 am
sprite
rose! How lovely to see you. And pug! *hugs* to you both.
2:57 am
grannyrose
aagghh...sprite, was just saying goodnight, dear.
2:57 am
puglet
SPRTE! at last we meet! lol
2:57 am
sprite
lool. Ok hun, enjoy your dinner.
2:57 am
sprite
lol pug, indeed!
2:58 am
grannyrose
hun, will talk tomorrow.
2:58 am
puglet
bye Rose then! are you coming back?
2:58 am
sprite
all good, rose, you go and take care of yourself. *hugs*
2:58 am
puglet
good night then Rose, hugs
2:59 am
puglet
How are you Sprite
2:59 am
sprite
am good! And you?
3:00 am
puglet
slow moving right now but Iam okay
3:00 am
puglet
got a late start on here this morning
3:00 am
sprite
did you sleep in?
3:01 am
puglet
no. was doing a few things
3:01 am
sprite
ah too bad. So nice to sleep in, once in a while :)
3:02 am
puglet
cant seem to get in4 this grid today for some reason
3:03 am
sprite
some days are like that. Some grids are like that.
3:05 am
puglet
I was telling Rose, I seem to be sitting here enjoying my coffee, quiet and chatting here and a word now and then---guess right at this second Iam just content--lol oh and I got music on too :)
3:06 am
sprite
sounds just about perfect, pug. Even babble is only a means to a goal, right? So if you can reach that goal without finding many words, who gives a... rat's ass?
3:06 am
puglet
lol--right!
3:07 am
sprite
love to see you content and in peace :)
3:07 am
puglet
thanks---hope you are feeling the same
3:08 am
sprite
I did sleep in a little. But yes, am happy here. All quiet in the house, kids at school, my love at work. Terra snoring at my feet. All good.
3:08 am
puglet
the sun is to shine today and Iam going to be soaking up what I can of it
3:09 am
sprite
sounds like a plan. Sun works wonders on us.
3:10 am
puglet
today and for the next several days we are heading into a warm up but with heavy rains over the week end
3:11 am
sprite
rain is not pleasant, but bettr than snow, I think?
3:11 am
puglet
so our snow should be mostly gone by monday or so--:)
3:11 am
sprite
good! Easier to go out then.
3:12 am
puglet
I dont mind the rain, its the mud I dont care for-:( But all cant be perfect---Rain is a cleanser and its suppose to bring good luck
3:13 am
sprite
lol, not here it isn't. Rain is more or less a way of life here.
3:14 am
puglet
I would rather have the rain then not to have any
3:14 am
sprite
rain isn't so bad, mostly. Just wet.
3:15 am
puglet
I seen on tv that they are coming out with unbrellas with a light in them---wouldnt that be cool
3:15 am
sprite
ro4 is in the grid today!
3:15 am
sprite
lol yes indeed! Practical too.
3:16 am
sprite
took me a while to process the fact :)
3:17 am
puglet
when will you find out what became of the doctor visit
3:17 am
sprite
Friday at the earliest.
3:17 am
puglet
do you take in alot of salt
3:18 am
puglet
please let me know if its good or bad if you dont mind
3:18 am
sprite
no, very little.
3:18 am
sprite
I will, hun. Thanks for caring. I don't expect any dramatic results.
3:18 am
puglet
if you are holding water Sprite that there will not let your weight be right
3:19 am
puglet
Iam not a salt person either
3:19 am
sprite
true. Might explain the lack of weight loss.
3:20 am
puglet
it could, just dont give up on yourself
3:20 am
sprite
oh I won't. That is one thing I still have trouble with in life... learning to give up. On anything, lol.
3:20 am
puglet
Ive read that some can go for sometime before they see loss by the scales
3:22 am
sprite
yes, indeed. We will see. If the blood tests are inconclusive, I have to go to the hospital for an echo of the arteries in the legs.
3:23 am
puglet
they were saying on the news last night that taking vitamins was a waste of a persons time and money. I dont know if I belive that or not, do you?
3:23 am
sprite
I don't believe that. Some vitamins are essential and it can make a big difference in how we feel and for our health if we take them or not.
3:23 am
puglet
are you on a water pill now
3:24 am
sprite
I have medication for high bloodpressure and it is also a mild water pill.
3:25 am
puglet
have you had trouble before with holding water
3:25 am
sprite
no, never before.
3:26 am
puglet
could one of your new meds becausing it? Some kind of side effect
3:26 am
sprite
doctor is looking into it. It is not listed among the normal side effects, but she is checking out if it has ever occurred.
3:28 am
puglet
and it could be the comination of some together--not just one by its self too
3:28 am
puglet
I think I spelt that wronge---the mixing of meds
3:29 am
sprite
also possible. Seeing how things usually go with me, all tests will be inconclusive and we will end up with treating the symptom.
3:29 am
sprite
you make perfect sense, hun, don't worry about a missing letter ;)
3:30 am
puglet
I think they have a pill for everything anymore--LOL
3:30 am
puglet
from hairloss to toe nail fungus
3:31 am
sprite
yeah, seems that way, grin
3:38 am
sprite
pug, how is your sister doing?
3:39 am
puglet
yesterday her sugar was up to 500 and the day before it was 150
3:39 am
sprite
oh dear. That does not sound good. What is that in mmol/l ?
3:39 am
puglet
Iam thinking part of it is she hasent been able to get out to walk due to weather
3:40 am
sprite
could very well be.
3:40 am
puglet
Iam not sure Sprite
3:43 am
puglet
are you flying through this grid
3:44 am
puglet
Joso hasent been on for days--you think he might have a new lady friend and dont have time for us now? LOL
3:44 am
sprite
yes, easy grid, almost done. I think the USA measures milligrams per deciliter. And we measure millimol per liter.
3:45 am
puglet
I think you are right
3:46 am
sprite
found a converter, lol. Ok, that is very very very high, pug. Even the 150 is still high. How awful for you both.
3:47 am
puglet
I dont know what to do Sprite...:(
3:48 am
sprite
Joso might be busy with sorting out the mess from moving, getting a feel for his new home. Or maybe no internet?
3:48 am
sprite
I don't blame you, pug. This is crazy. So hard to know what to do with values like that, especially since she isn't eating the wrong stuff.
3:50 am
puglet
its so hard to get her motivated to do anything--both body wise and mental wise
3:52 am
sprite
she should exercise every day... not too much, just enough to get the juices going.
3:53 am
sprite
did I tell you we had a temp teacher for psychomotoric therapy week before last? He had some good tips...
3:54 am
puglet
I know--I try giving her things to do just for that--but I got to tell her everything to do step by step--with winter its much more harder
3:54 am
sprite
like using your normal things as exercise. For instance, when you go sit in a chair, don't make it to fully sit, stretch back up, then sit down.
3:54 am
puglet
no--what good things did he give you? Things that might help me
3:55 am
sprite
push yourself up from the armrests a couple of times. Push your hands together as hard as you can. When you are seated, lift your leg or legs a couple of times.
3:57 am
sprite
the idea is you don't have to do anything you don't normally do already... just build on them and make them in4 a tiny exercise.
3:57 am
puglet
I use to like jumping rope--dont know if I still can with out tripping my self--lol
3:57 am
sprite
it is really hard on you, pug. You have to spend a load of energy and you don't get the results you would wish for your sister. That is doubly hard.
3:57 am
rubyfoo
good morning,my friends
3:57 am
puglet
I will work on that myself and have her too
3:58 am
puglet
Hey Ruby! been awhile
3:58 am
sprite
hi ruby *hugs* How is the battle of the paperwork going?
3:58 am
puglet
how are you doing
3:59 am
sprite
and pug, you can think up new ones yourself. Almost everything we do can be a little exercise.
3:59 am
rubyfoo
it is quiet for the moment. IU've sent off a fortune to all of them *you know who) and now am waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is thought that this will go on for years or even, possibly, until I die and then afterwards
4:01 am
puglet
are you going to be able to stay put after all this
4:01 am
rubyfoo
that is the big question and the one that worries me the most
4:02 am
sprite
jeezz ruby, how stressful
4:02 am
puglet
I hope for the best for you Ruby
4:03 am
rubyfoo
the only good thing to come out of this is that John and I are on good terms again. He makes me very stressed but, at the same time, he cares and helps me, even remotely, to get organizaed. Of course, one of his concerns is whether or not he will inherit my debt when I die
4:04 am
puglet
I dont see why he would
4:04 am
rubyfoo
nobody seems to know how long the arm of the fisc actually is. They have the power, but would they actually use it to its full extent?
4:05 am
sprite
am very glad for you that John is so supportive.
4:05 am
puglet
do you know how you got in such a mess
4:06 am
puglet
brb need a refill
4:06 am
rubyfoo
yes but I can't go into it here
4:08 am
rubyfoo
it is a long and boring story
4:09 am
sprite
poor ruby :(
4:09 am
rubyfoo
"the gift that keeps on giving" like herpes lol
4:12 am
puglet
I feel for you Ruby--so sorry that all this is upon you and plus the problems with hubby too and hes not able to help you through all this
4:12 am
rubyfoo
and he doesn't remember what he did to set this whole mess in motion
4:12 am
rubyfoo
(or what was on TV last night) lol
4:13 am
sprite
poor man. And poor ruby.
4:15 am
rubyfoo
half and off to deal with "that poor man" hahah I've been angry at him for 4 years so far
4:16 am
puglet
bye Ruby, will put you in my prayers
4:16 am
sprite
be kind, darling... he cannot help himself. And be kind to yourself too. Here's a big *hug*.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
thank you puglet, I need them!
4:16 am
rubyfoo
bye sprite. See you later
4:17 am
rubyfoo
sprite, I've found a great way to lose weight -- fisc trouble! lol
4:17 am
sprite

4:18 am
rubyfoo
I lost a kilo this week not good
4:18 am
sprite
def. not good
4:19 am
puglet
Sprite is there such a rabbit with a coat like that
4:19 am
puglet
Ruby, you need to take care of yourself
4:23 am
sprite
pug, no it is a fantasy rabbit. Someone photoshopped it.
4:23 am
sprite
sorry, was afk, acute potty break
4:24 am
puglet
I have had rabbits with many different coats--even brindle ones
4:24 am
puglet
good for you!
4:25 am
puglet
Hugs and enjoy you day to the fullest!
4:27 am

3.A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job. According to Industrial Machinery News, the film's depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film.

You are most welcome, Cosmo :-)
6:21 am
zoozzoom
Not sure why it is accepted as i would of thought it was a proper noun..but there we go.
6:29 am
Cosmo Kramer
i can think of 2 reasons
1. It may be a unit of something - like Ohms, Jule etc. (named after him)
2. or it has acquired a meaning of 'smart person'..
just my wild guess
6:31 am
bojazz
cosmo - a unit of radiant energy
6:31 am
ladycece920
dictionary says it's a unit of radiant energy
6:32 am
o-o
For years I have tried to remedy the misconception players have about the types of words purportedly not allowed. Any proper noun, abbreviation, contraction, hyphenated word or foreign word that is in the Enable Dictionary is allowed. Really quite simple.

Not a bad day--office Christmas lunch and then a quiet afternoon (just 5 kids) because of another snowstorm
5:28 pm
o-o
tr 7.28 - most passe
5:29 pm
Nef
so, in a way, you blessed the bad weather?
5:30 pm
Scrabbler
We have had snow daily for the last 9 days and have gotten close to 50 inches of snow!
5:32 pm
Nef
We've had over a foot of snow so far and temps around zero all month. Yesterday and today we actually got above freezing for the first time in weeks. (I feel your pain!)
5:32 pm
Nef
Normally we don't get this type of weather until January
5:33 pm
Scrabbler
The snow is wonderful for XC-skiing and snowshoeing! But we will have 4 days above freezing, with rain, starting tomorrow.
5:35 pm
Nef
The good news (for us) is that the snow is still soft and fluffy. Not good for going sliding with my grandson; and I'm glad we haven't had too much wind with this.
5:35 pm
o-o
You can go snow surfing in the rain
5:36 pm
Nef
now, o-o, that sounds miserable!
5:36 pm
Scrabbler
I hope the snow doesn't all melt.
5:37 pm
Nef
It would take a lot of rain with 50 inches of snow, Scrabs
5:39 pm
o-o
You must remember the dj that gave the surfing report for Lake Michigan on WLS, Nef?
5:40 pm
Nef
nope, o-o, we didn't get WLS.

July 27, 2009 (WLS) -- After lifting a decades-long ban, the surf's up in Chicago! Find out where to catch a wave on Lake Michigan
5:45 pm
Nef
for some reason, it was easier to get CKRC in the late evening than any other radio station
5:46 pm
Nef
I Googled that when you first mentioned it, o-o. I was surprised about all of the surfing reports on the great lakes!
5:48 pm
o-o
How odd of me to remember something like that ...
5:49 pm
Nef
our brains play lots of tricks on us, don't they. BTW, I just checked; I lived much closer to Winnepeg than Bismark growing up. I imagine that's why we got CKRC the best
5:51 pm
o-o
Contrast a surfing report with the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Dealing with DH tonight; but I think he'll behave now (heh heh hee) ;-)
7:57 pm
uusue2
good luck with that, nef ;-)
7:58 pm
Nef
Earlier I said I was mad enough to tie him up, sue. I didn't do that; but this is almost as good.
7:59 pm
uusue2
ah, well, I am glad you have it figured out :-)
7:59 pm
Nef
(Our son got the movie "the Hobbit" from the Red box and they are just starting to watch that!)
8:00 pm
uusue2
that actually sounds like fun!
8:00 pm
Nef
He just got off a run of steroids for an MS relapse; and he gets bossy, impatient, and feels like he has to do all sorts of stuff he shouldn't (like scrape the ice off the driveway!)
8:01 pm
uusue2
ah, steroids are nasty
8:01 pm
Nef
I don't care for movies; I end up having nightmares from them
8:01 pm
Nef
So, how's your Frank?
8:02 pm
uusue2
he's ok, had a PET scan today because his CEA (tumor antigen) levels are going up, we should get results in a day or two
8:02 pm
uusue2
right now he is at a county board meeting so I am relaxing :-)
8:02 pm
Nef
waiting for results is always hard, isn't it?
8:03 pm
uusue2
it is indeed. We just got his biopsy results today, 12 days after they were taken. He'll need to go on some kind of medication for the Crohn's.
8:04 pm
Nef
Keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers……..
8:04 pm
Nef
I was on your Caring Bridge site already this evening
8:05 pm
uusue2
oh, ok, I go into more detail there (and here) than I do on Facebook
8:06 pm
Nef
I always hate the wait times for results on the tests
8:07 pm
rururocks
that's not good news sue. I hope it turns out to be nothing
8:07 pm
uusue2
hi ruru, I hope so too!
8:08 pm
Nef
did they mention any meds for the Crohn's yet?
8:08 pm
uusue2
not yet, Nef, we have to go talk to the gastroenterologist
8:09 pm
Nef
is this the same doctor who took care of him originally?
8:10 pm
uusue2
no, he has all new doctors now that he is on my insurance
8:10 pm
stidmama
((((NefNSue)))) hey all
8:11 pm
Nef
Be sure and have his full history there then
8:11 pm
uusue2
yes, they have it already, nef
8:11 pm
Nef
do you have copies of everything too?
8:13 pm
uusue2
yes, they made copies and gave it all back to us
8:14 pm
Nef
(only reason I'm asking is a nurse friend's grandmother fell and broke her pelvis back in August and the family wasn't told about how severe the break was until this past week when she fell again! they were told she'd torn her performs muscle and ligament!) Sometimes it's necessary to be over prepared.
8:15 pm
JenMO16
hi everyone
8:15 pm
uusue2
ah - yes, when we got his records from the hospital we read them all, or almost all
8:16 pm
JenMO16
hi uussue2!
8:16 pm
Nef
(I'm so angry and upset with the docs about this -as is my friend-- that I don't want it to happen to anyone else!)
8:17 pm
JenMO16
I got good news today---finally!
8:17 pm
uusue2
ooh, do tell, jen!
8:17 pm
uusue2
also, fireworks
8:17 pm
Nef
what's your good news, Jen?
8:17 pm
stidmama
Wow Nef -- sounds pretty awful. Something similar happened when my grandmother fell years ago -- the docs at the hospital, the nursing home she was sent to and her regular doc didn't talk to each other and sure as shooting didn't communicate with Granny's children... so frustrating
8:17 pm
stidmama
YAY SUE!
8:17 pm

8:19 pm
Nef
that's terrific news, Jen.
8:20 pm
Nef
Have you been having problems lately?
8:21 pm
JenMO16
however, I wasn't very happy about the waits!
8:21 pm
JenMO16
Appointment was at 9:15AM and I didn't get out till 11:00!
8:22 pm
JenMO16
And they didn't do anything major!
8:22 pm
JenMO16
their is a family history of heart disease, Nef and since I am 50.....
8:23 pm
Nef
Speaking as an old cardiac nurse, just be glad you weren't the one taking up all of their time.
8:23 pm
JenMO16
I was crying and everything, anxiety attack
8:24 pm
uusue2
((((Jen)))) glad you got through it all with flying colors!
8:25 pm
Nef
When DH went to see his Neuro doc this time for his "regular" appointment (he needs to be seen every 3 months due to some of his meds); the doctor spent almost 1 1/2 hours with him (us, really. DH has a memory problem). That's when he diagnosed the MS relapse.
8:26 pm
Nef
Am I remembering correctly that your Mom had a heart attack (or was that someone else when your Mom was ill)
8:26 pm
JenMO16
I guess I was upset because they didn't tell me she was running behind, I felt they had forgotten me!
8:28 pm
Nef
Ahh! See, I'm pro-active in that situation; I'm the patient (or relative) that opens the door and flags down someone so they don't forget me
8:29 pm
JenMO16
both of my parents have had heart attacks
8:29 pm
JenMO16
mom is the most recent

8:47 pm
Nef
I'm still here too. Just got distracted for a bit
8:49 pm
JenMO16
oh I forgot, the dr. said I had great carbs!
8:50 pm
Nef
I do believe that someone said it's a tricky grid today. I'm finding that out; and will need to go to Lickety tonight
8:50 pm
JenMO16
I'm already there!
8:51 pm
Nef
great carbs??? do you mean your blood sugar is under control?
8:51 pm
JenMO16
wait a minute
8:51 pm
Nef
ok. that makes sense
8:51 pm
JenMO16
I meant cholesterol!
8:52 pm
Nef
you did say cholesterol earlier
8:52 pm
JenMO16
I think I am losing my memory!
8:53 pm
JenMO16
I believe 80 something?
8:53 pm
Nef
it's okay, we all lose it at some point.
8:54 pm
Nef
Wow! If it was your cholesterol, that's fantastic.
8:55 pm
JenMO16
and I don't exercise or eat right
8:57 pm
penquis
80 something sounds almost impossible...
8:58 pm
harpjane
done! ta da!
8:58 pm
penquis
congrats!
8:58 pm
Nef
YAY, Harpjane!!! WTG!!!
8:59 pm
Nef
It does seem low, pen, but my doctor likes our cholesterol levels around 100 these days
9:02 pm
Nef
now if the HDH is around 80, that's terrific, same with the triglycerides. And the LDL shouldn't be that high; so I ruled that out (that's the bad cholesterol)
9:03 pm
JenMO16
I'll have to ask if they call about the poor rating I gave them, (I told them in the survey I wanted to be contacted)
9:04 pm
Nef
Did they give you your results, Jen?
9:05 pm
JenMO16
they told me what it was in August, not tested for it last week
9:07 pm
