hello all -- NBT

12:21 am

Bugsaw

JILLI !! Hello old friend! Where have you been? It is so good to see you here again

12:21 am

vanillaslice

hi jill gl

12:22 am

saanichcat

hi there jilli, great to see you!

12:23 am

jillibus

hi bugs -- I've been facebooking and jigidiing and stuff and nonsense. Just thought I'd drop in here for a few minutes.

12:23 am

jillibus

hello saan too.

12:23 am

sammysmom

missed you jill

12:24 am

jillibus

and everyone!

12:24 am

Bugsaw

You are missed here for sure

12:25 am

jillibus

What have you been up to, bugs? Did those acorns ever produce?

12:25 am

jillibus

How's your ankle?

12:26 am

vanillaslice

di7

12:26 am

Bugsaw

I am sad to say the trees did not make it with deer and Floyd on the mower. I think next time I will forget about my property

12:27 am

Bugsaw

The ankle is finally fixed! All I have to do now is strengthen it so I won't worry on steps.

12:28 am

Bugsaw

It was such a relief to get the metal out. No more pain.

12:29 am

jillibus

Well, I knew the deer would devour them. Glad your ankle is mended -- I know it takes a while to get confident on steps.

12:30 am

Bugsaw

It is very hard to get Garry Oak to root. They want to pick their own places.

12:32 am

jillibus

Let me know if you want any more acorns. Right now I have a regular gang of about seven deer eating the ones off my trees.

12:32 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

12:33 am

Lizlin

Good to see you again Jilli :)

12:33 am

rururocks

did you squirrel away those acorns Jilli?

12:34 am

sammysmom

i hink that is why our squirrel population is decimated here........... in te last 10 years... the deer have hogged all the acorns .. leaving no food for them

12:34 am

jillibus

Haha ruru -- back to normal?

12:34 am

rururocks

yes ..pretty much thanks

12:35 am

jillibus

I rarely seee squirrels here -- in fact I've only seem one and it was years ago in the woods.

12:35 am

sammysmom

i think it is time for the city to cull the deer and feed the poor and relieve us of gthe burden of the deer doing damage to pur property

12:35 am

Lizlin

3:25 am

sprite

hi rose *hugs* Just back from the hospital again, and in between visits, didn't sleep that well, lol. How are you today?

3:26 am

grannyrose

ditto, didn't sleep well either. but probably for a different reason.

3:27 am

grannyrose

i have just taken my first extra magnesium since wednesday.

3:27 am

sprite

and how does that go?

3:28 am

grannyrose

?? sprite ??how does what go?

3:29 am

sprite

is the magnesium working already? You wouldn't take extra if you didn't have pain and cramping muscles.

3:30 am

grannyrose

oh, duh me. of course. it has kicked in and i can walk without whimpering.

3:30 am

sprite

ah thank God. With yesterday's stress and all, I am not really surprised you are having a tough night and day. Are you being extremely gentle with yourself?

3:32 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite. i went out for lunch as planned. and haven't done much else.

3:32 am

sprite

good :) You deserve it. You tamed lions and sabertooth tigers.

3:43 am

grannyrose

brb, need a drink

3:43 am

sprite

ok :)

3:46 am

grannyrose

back

3:46 am

sprite

wb dear friend :)

3:46 am

grannyrose

so how many appointments have you to attend?

3:47 am

sprite

doctor, with physiotherapist and co-assistent, was yesterday. Today was first session with pt. Doctor again in 4 weeks, pt in 2 weeks.

3:48 am

grannyrose

do you far to travel? and how are you getting there?

3:49 am

sprite

yes, it is in the nearby town. Yesterday I went by car. And lo and behold, of course they are doing all kinds of rebuilding there... had to park in a parking building and walk for miles. Today, Rob is away in our car so I took the bus. Went ok.

3:50 am

grannyrose

well done sprite. i am proud of you for doing that.

3:51 am

sprite

thank you :) Am kinda proud of me too. Told them about the incest and all yesterday, which enabled them to treat me correctly and diagnose me more easily. And today I was strongly encouraged to take charge and not let myself me pushed into any treatment or test that I don't feel ok about. Good lady, that pt.

3:52 am

sprite

be* pushed

3:53 am

grannyrose

good for you, dear. you are going from strength to strength.

3:53 am

sprite

oh and the doctor suggested I take a daily dose of... you guess it.... loperamid.

3:54 am

grannyrose

yay!! glad to be validated....* giggle *

3:54 am

sprite

lol

3:55 am

sprite

I am amazed at how quickly they want to help me. Was told yesterday there was a 2-3 week's waiting list for the pt. Barely home, phone rang. Had been a cancellation and the doctor had said to ring me and give me that spot.

3:56 am

grannyrose

oh, so good when something like that happens.

3:56 am

sprite

lol, and what I just found out... having to go to the toilet 15-20 times a day is NOT normal! Lolol/.

3:58 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, the doctor is correct hun. looking forward to hearing you are having a more usual life soon.

3:59 am

sprite

I'll be happy as can be when I'll be able to have more control over those bodily functions. Lol, the doctor said it was no way to live, with this handicap. I said, I don't know any other way.

4:01 am

grannyrose

now hun, please write down. Dr Timothy McCarthy. and Dynamic Pain Care. i am hoping he is on google.

4:02 am

sprite

is he family?

4:04 am

grannyrose

no sprite...google, him, he is the almost at the bottom of the page. there is a link there to talk to him. he may be able to help your doctor with treatment. just a thought.

4:05 am

sprite

I will certainly tell her about him, thank you

4:10 am

grannyrose

when i go in next week i will ask for his email addy.

4:10 am

sprite

that would be awesome. Would you pls ask him if there is any relation between incontinence and CSD?

4:11 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, i think that would probably be better coming from you personally or your doctor. if you have no joy, let me know, and i will chase it up for you.

4:12 am

sprite

the doctor I am seeing now is specialised in gynaecology and incontinence issues. So I need something to link her work with the bigger picture.

4:13 am

sprite

fireflies

4:13 am

grannyrose

*nodding* i see that. WTG SPRITE!!!

4:14 am

sprite

thanks sweetie :) I am gonna lie down for a bit. It took a lot out of me, two days in a row, so I need to follow my own advice today, lol. *hugs* and my blessings over your sleep. Angels watching you tonight. With loving eyes and tasty butts.

4:14 am

grannyrose

sprite ?? that post says CSD...shouldn't it be PTSD ? just wondering if auto-correct strikes again.

4:15 am

sprite

um I meant the central sensitivity disorder. Might be syndrome and CSS would be more correct.

4:18 am

grannyrose

ahhh. yes css...i am thinking the answer will be yes.

4:19 am

sprite

I wouldn't be surprised. And if so, there is a lot of incentive in this for her to find out more about it. Since I won't be the only patient with this for her.

4:19 am

grannyrose

hugs and kisses dear friend. please rest well.

4:19 am

sprite

*hugs* dear friend.

4:21 am

grannyrose

fellow babblers. will pop in and out. please feel free to ask for a clue if you need it. will be here until about 6:30am, babble time.

5:36 am

rbud

5:37 am

grannyrose

morning rbud. lovely to see you, hun

5:37 am

rbud

(Mike needs to come see our house, he'd have plenty to fix!)

5:39 am

rbud

I've been known to do something similar, rose, like drift off to sleep with my finger on some letter, lol

5:39 am

lbdawger

hi rbud, love Mike Holmes!

5:40 am

grannyrose

*giggle* so long as we don't hit enter.

5:40 am

grannyrose

very embarrassing.

5:40 am

lbdawger

5:40 am

rbud

I've missed Mike, he's not been on any channel we get for a long while.

5:41 am

rbud

I have es5/12 so far.

5:41 am

grannyrose

don watched the dvd of good morning vietnam for the first time yesterday. i thought i would have to rush him to the emergency room...he was laughing so hard. and then, he played the extras...my lord...i had tears in my eyes from laughing..

5:42 am

grannyrose

lbd, ec7/36, think pregnancy not in the right place

5:42 am

rbud

Great movie!

5:43 am

grannyrose

if you get the dvd, it has all the takes for when he is on the microphone...that man was amazing.

5:45 am

sukee

Good morning, happy Friday

5:46 am

grannyrose

don has never seen aladdin...that has to be one of the must see films. i didn't stop laughing for nearly 2 hours. apparently it didn't win the screenplay award because of all the adlibbing by robin williams.

5:46 am

grannyrose

xoxox, sukee

5:47 am

sukee

Sigh, Robin Williams. I still get teary eyed when I think of him no longer being here.

5:48 am

rbud

I've always loved Jumanji, though it's not really one of his usual performances - I liked it far more than the kids did, lol! :)

5:50 am

rbud

wow, this is a stingy little grid!

5:51 am

grannyrose

sukee, did you see that he was newly diagnosed with parkinson's?

5:51 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

5:52 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy, mate

5:52 am

rbud

((((crossy))))! top o' the morning! :)

5:53 am

crosshair

I have seen actors and singer come and go, divorces, car wrecks, various suicides, metal issues, but I remember when we first heard about Robin Williams. I was in shock. I actually felt like I had lost a very close friend and I have never felt that about any other actor beofre:(

5:53 am

crosshair

((rbud))

5:54 am

crosshair

((rose))

5:55 am

grannyrose

crossy, he reached across generations, sexes and cultures. he was so gifted.

5:56 am

grannyrose

like princess dianna...she was the same.

5:56 am

crosshair

ty for ec7 pregnacy word. Nice first word of the day for me:)

5:56 am

rbud

I remember seeing a picture of him nearly a year ago, in which he didn't look good at all, and so I'd wondered if there were health issues as well as the mental ones mentioned more often. Then heard there were.

5:56 am

grannyrose

*grin* yay crossy

5:58 am

sukee

hi crossy

5:58 am

grannyrose

my tummy is so full.dinner tonight, apricot chicken, roast potato, and pumpkin, steamed brussel sprouts and carrots....and heaps of gravy. * sigh * heaven!!

5:58 am

rbud

I can see how the parkinson's diagnosis would send one into a tailspin. while I admire Michael J. Fox very much for toughing it out as he does, it's not like that for many, I imagine.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

5:59 am

sukee

And Williams was a very physical comedian.

A friend of mine's husband has Parkinson's and is in a home. He has good days and bad days.

6:00 am

grannyrose

there is baked cheese cake to follow, but i don't think i would give it justice.

6:01 am

sukee

Can I just have the stats for the two K words?

6:01 am

lbdawger

hi crossy, hi scrabs

6:01 am

sukee

mmm... cheesecake

6:01 am

grannyrose

for robin to act so punctually shows me he was also a very strong character. i hope i am the same, if/when the time comes.

6:02 am

grannyrose

sukee, ky4/10, and its plural

6:02 am

rbud

yes, I would tend to think that the Parkinson's must have been the tipping point for Robin, which is actually more understandable for me.

6:04 am

We recently dug out our copy of Patch Adams from our old vcr tape collection. Was odd watching the scenes with Robin and Phillip Seymore Hoffman. Added new depth and meaning to what they were saying in the dorm room scenes

I'm watching my poor husband deal with his MD, and I admire his fairly positive outlook - but I wonder and worry about what must go on in his mind sometimes.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

What type of MD?

6:06 am

sukee

Ah, got the K words.

6:07 am

sukee

My doctor thinks I have a touch of MD that is causing my mobility problems. My brother died of it when I was very young.

6:07 am

sukee

It's a very mild form if it is but it is slowly degenerative.

6:08 am

grannyrose

crossy, don has seen only a few of his films. he has discovered what i already knew...robin williams was an extremely gifted performer.

6:08 am

rbud

I think they're calling it myotonic, but it is definitely congenital as many in his family have/had it also.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I diagnosed a 4 year old boy with Duchenne MD in January. I was devastated and then had to tell the parents. Such a tragic disease.

6:09 am

rbud

his mom, two brothers, a couple of uncles... and they all had the same stance and way of walking.

6:10 am

grannyrose

have any or all of you seen the actor's stugio episode in which robin appeared. it was 15 minutes before the compere could ask his first question. it is available as a down load.

6:10 am

crosshair

Though it can never compare to MD. I can speak as a man who has had a very serious ongoing, life threatening condition. What was going on in my minds was a combination of several things. Stubbornness and anger and this having the nerve to attack me, helplessness and frustration knowing that it is something I cannot fix with my strength and skills like I am used to doing, feeling embarrassed at other caring for me instead of the other way around. Wanting normalcy as much as possible in all that is around me while I turn my mind and energy inwards to fight this enemy. ... hope some of that made sense. i have not had my tea yeat and am half awake

6:10 am

rbud

which sort of gives me hope that our two kids may not have the genes for it, as they don't walk or stand like that. at least I hope and pray.

6:10 am

sukee

I can identify with all of that crossy

6:11 am

grannyrose

gosh, scrabs, how do you do it? i could never tell a patient or their family such a negative diagnosis. one reason i was a nurse, and not a doctor i guess.

6:11 am

sukee

rbud, do they walk sort of in a rolling gate, looks like limping to some?

6:11 am

Scrabbler

It makes sense, Crossy. It sucks to be a patient, to be helpless and dependent, to have an uncertain prognosis.

6:11 am

sukee

I walked like that my entire life and was even called "duck" by some nasty kids.

6:12 am

grannyrose

*holds crossy gently*

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Rose, it is so sad for this family. This adorable boy will be in a wheelchair by age 12 and dead by 25 UNLESS a new treatment is found.

6:13 am

rbud

I know what you mean, crossy. ((((hug))))

6:14 am

sukee

Anyway, have to run. Not that anyone will notice.

6:14 am

grannyrose

*sigh* so hard to watch, scrabs. even as a nurse, there have been many times during my career when i wished things could be different.

6:14 am

crosshair

ty, rose, but no need now. Been "clean" for a long while now and am blessed with a squeaky clean now life. It is one of the benefits of beating a life-threatening disease or illness. Everything is minty fresh and mine to do all over again.

6:14 am

crosshair

new

6:15 am

rbud

really the stance is odd, kind of a way of having the lower half of the body forward, wide foot placement, having to "throw" the feet forward to walk, while the top half is leaning a bit back. Hard to explain.

6:15 am

Well, a tad embarrassed to day that even though I finished school in 1980, I was missing some credits to qualify for university entrance requirements. That is what this has all been about, Bichon; filling in the holes. Good thing is that I will graduate in the top 5% and can basically walk into university without writing the entrance exam so long as I qualify for the particular class parameters

Frequent use does not always equal a valid word. (Case in point "alot") Copay is an abbreviation for co-payment.

11:12 am

zoozzoom

Yes I have seen alot used a lot.

11:14 am

kje

that isn't the case here - both Oxford Dictionary, and Random House Dictionary spell it with no hyphen, as does whatever dictionary Microsoft uses, as does all the myriad insurance and government forms we see daily in the office... it is correct as copay. No dictionary says "alot" is correct

11:17 am

What is the point of an online version being different from the in print version?

Yes same here too.

11:28 am

josephjames

well, i mean, if you hear some kids talking and you're like, what the heck is that new slang, the online dictionary would help you with that problem. if you are having a debate about whether something is a "real word" or "correct" then you go to the library and check out the print OED.

11:28 am

josephjames

not check out as in check out from the library, check out as in look at

11:29 am

josephjames

they don't let you take volumes of the OED.

11:32 am

MollyL

I just don't see the point in having one version of that dictionary say a word is valid and another version say it is not.

11:33 am

josephjames

because there is a difference in purpose. descriptive vs prescriptive. one is saying, "this may not be a 'word' but all the kids are saying it", the other is saying, "this is a word".

11:34 am

josephjames

some people think dictionaries should be descriptive and some think prescriptive, so, they found a way to do both.

But it isn't saying "this may not be a word, but all the kids are saying it". It's listing those words as words with definitions.

11:35 am

cybernan

stats for the left col. s, please?

11:35 am

josephjames

but it is meant to describe current usage, not establish correctness.

ty - couldn't see that one

11:36 am

MollyL

So, the words are not "correct" but they are in the dictionary.

11:37 am

josephjames

yes. i mean - people will differ over what is correct but that is kind of the way the OED is doing things. some people will argue that there is no such thing as correct.

MollyL

Hi Squrell

12:36 pm

Dorens

just found out my son is being interviewed at 3:40 (Eastern) on NPR today. live!

12:37 pm

MollyL

Proud Mom moment for Dorens

12:40 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon Everyone.

12:40 pm

Nef

Wow, Dorens; what's he being interviewed about?

12:41 pm

Dorens

his new book -- Generic:The Unbranding of Modern Medicine. (not exactly a hot topic for everyone, I realize)

12:42 pm

Nef

Well, that's up my alley! I'll be listening if it's on here (I usually have MPR on anyway

12:44 pm

Dorens

cool

12:45 pm

MollyL

Generic as in generic drugs? I think that would appeal to many people taking prescription medicine.

12:46 pm

Nef

Do you know what program it will be (Marketplace, All Things Considered, etc)?

12:46 pm

Dorens

yes. he is medical historian..

12:46 pm

Dorens

i'm just going to check that now Nef...

12:46 pm

MollyL

I confess, I am not an NPR person, but I wish him well on his interview.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

helo again

12:50 pm

Nef

I swear generics have made a huge difference in the cost of medicine these days. I have to pay for a med out-of-pocket every month (because my insurance company won't pay for the 4th pill per day which is medically indicated but their "rules" won't allow them to pay for it!). That 30 day supply can cost anywhere from $45 to $98/ month, depending on who makes it. :-(

12:50 pm

Nef

(that's 30 pils)

12:51 pm

Nef

Which doesn't sound like a big deal; but it's a medication that has been around forever, and that price change every month is a PIA

12:52 pm

Dorens

Science Friday

12:52 pm

Nef

okay, that starts in less than 10 minutes then!

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

do you think the transcript will be online, ? I would love to read it.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

Yay for proud dorens

12:53 pm

MollyL

Nef, I agree. The difference between generic medication and the name brand is insane.

12:53 pm

Dorens

issues at work... later guys

12:54 pm

MollyL

And don't get me started on what insurance will and will not cover.

12:56 pm

Nef

ruby, Science Friday is also on podcast here; I'll check if they have a transcript now

12:57 pm

Nef

yes, they have transcripts of their shows. I can give you the link if you'd like to the Science Friday main page if you'd like

12:57 pm

Nef

Very true, Molly.

1:01 pm

Nef

ruby, here's the link:

I don't have it curi, but am looking

2:04 pm

rururocks

I wonder if Doren is now going to remember all the little people who helped get her there :D

2:04 pm

MollyL

Many people have said they don't believe gi7. It is a variant spelling of the other gi7 with a different vowel at the end. A term used by western horse riders.

2:05 pm

hego

Naw, they always forget.

2:05 pm

Dorens

Molly, for some of us, we don't know how poor we were until we leave our hometowns and see how others live. I grew up "poor, but clean" as my Aunt used to say

2:30 pm

Nef

I can look back at it and remember that it was better than being put in foster care.

2:31 pm

rururocks

I'd rather be rich and dirty

2:31 pm

After that you all just retreat to your fireplaces and listen to the wind howl for three months, right?

3:20 pm

penquis

yes....two seasons here...winter and the fourth of july... ;o)

3:21 pm

MollyL

It's amazing how many people here have that "two seasons" line.

3:22 pm

penquis

yes...some years it's truer here than others....

3:22 pm

penquis

in NW Russia, they say...for nine months we suffer through winter...for three months we wait for summer to come....

3:24 pm

MollyL

I am not a snow person. It's beyond me why people are content to live in a place that is a winter wasteland most of the year.

3:24 pm

penquis

agreed....i do like the change in seasons...just wish winter were shorter...

3:25 pm

Jillyjill

Winter is FOREVER here in Montana...not ready for it yet...

3:27 pm

ya...from bad to worse....

3:27 pm

they say that here, too, ru....the sea and the mountains make it hard to forecast here...

One of my best memories ever is lobster rolls on the pier in Plymouth.

4:25 pm

penquis

nice....one of mine is our family's lobster bakes....trading my lobster bodies for tails....my father was kind...

4:26 pm

MollyL

But if you ever get to Maryland, Mike's Crab House near Annapolis is pretty good "seafood by the water" eating as well.

4:26 pm

4:46 pm

Soodle

I feel a novel coming on... The Mystery of the Disappearing Babblers....

4:47 pm

MollyL

Oh no, too many novel writers here as it is.

4:48 pm

rururocks

4:48 pm

rururocks

4:48 pm

rururocks

4:49 pm

rururocks

I Think I can speak profane too soodle.. or at least I used to

4:49 pm

Dorens

4:49 pm

rururocks

whoa

4:50 pm

rururocks

I saw him dance once a LOOONG time ago.. he was amazing

4:50 pm

Dorens

everyone disappears.... it's the nature of life on babble, but we seem to keep popping back up. Or else we could go into long drawnout explanations of where we are going everytime we leave.

4:50 pm

Dorens

ah, but do you speak profound?

4:50 pm

Soodle

Wow, Dorens! THAT is some claim to fame!

4:50 pm

Dorens

My father was his lawyer

4:50 pm

rururocks

Are you saying that Babble is sort of like Whack-a-Mole ?

4:51 pm

rururocks

4:51 pm

MollyL

*Gets out mallet*

4:51 pm

Dorens

Soodle

ROFL Ru. You nailed it! (or whacked it, maybe...)

4:52 pm

Dorens

i'll remind you of that sure as i'll remind you to always agree with me.

4:52 pm

rururocks

what was he like Doren.. charming I bet

4:53 pm

rururocks

oh.. the always agree with me thing I know better than anyone

4:53 pm

Soodle

Well, Dorens, neither your Dad nor your son would be what they are without YOUR influence. Take a bow!

4:53 pm

Dorens

could there be any doubt of that? But he was in pain, being massaged for a muscle pull after a performance... I was left with the overwhelming smell of wintergreen oil

4:54 pm

Dorens

hah! soodle... there are many arguments against that statement, but I'll take it anyway, thanks!

4:54 pm

rururocks

didn't you offer to help massage?

4:54 pm

Dorens

hahaha... i lacked the boldness at that time

4:54 pm

Soodle

I love the way smells can transport you back in time.

4:54 pm

rururocks

4:59 pm

Dorens

what do you do first?

4:59 pm

Dorens

Soodle

Sheesh, Ru, I thought you took possession of my meds..?

4:59 pm

MollyL

Ooo-hoo, son on the radio and a late date.

5:00 pm

rururocks

Light snack before the movie and dinner afterward

5:00 pm

Dorens

i prefer eating first actually, but I'm trying to be less demanding

5:00 pm

Dorens

and he wanted to do what ru suggests. but i'm an oldtimer

5:00 pm

Dorens

i allowed him to make the choice, since I chose the movie

5:00 pm

rururocks

but then you'll be sleepy in the movie

5:01 pm

Dorens

sheesh (yesterday's non-word) how many posts do I need to make?

5:01 pm

MollyL

Eat before the movie, eat after the movie,

5:01 pm

Dorens

5:01 pm

rururocks

5:01 pm

Dorens

5:02 pm

MollyL

5:05 pm

rururocks

5:05 pm

Dorens

5:09 pm

MollyL

*Pours Ru a Geritol*

5:09 pm

Soodle

LOL. Generics have found their way over here. I am familiar with the concept. Familiar and grateful! But you mentioned that your father and your son were were in the limelight. I wondered what your son was known for.

5:10 pm

MollyL

*Gets Ru's old man shuffly slippers*

5:11 pm

Dorens

5:20 pm

MimiCat

It's not even all that much money, especially since the lawyer gets 25%, but certainly will give me the start of a nest egg.

5:20 pm

Soodle

Great news Mimi. I am very happy for you. Now! Can you give me a loan? (JOKE)

5:21 pm

MimiCat

Is it just me or is this a really tough grid?

5:21 pm

MimiCat

Funny, Soodle....will await my children asking that question.

5:22 pm

Jillyjill

It speeds up mimi...I have 5 left

5:23 pm

MimiCat

5:30 pm

Soodle

It's a fine line between informing Babblers of your every move, and disappearing without notice. Within the next five minutes I intend to depart to the bed.

5:32 pm

MollyL

I agree Soodle. No need for the every move thing, but it seems people worry when regulars disappear without notice.

5:34 pm

MollyL

So for those keeping score...Soodle, bed prep...Dorens...date prep...Jill...brb...

5:34 pm

rururocks

*looks at several trails of popcorn*

5:34 pm

Soodle

Well, having served due notice, I can mosey off to the Soodle-pit, secure in the knowledge that no Babbler will lose sleep fretting over my whereabouts.

5:35 pm

MollyL

Puts the OH MY GOD, WHERE DID SOODLE GO???? line away.

5:36 pm

MollyL

Trails of popcorn?

5:36 pm

rururocks

I tend to not senselessly fret soodle regardless

5:37 pm

rururocks

so I guess Doren isn't going to tell us about her date?

5:37 pm

rururocks

We can guess who it is?

5:37 pm

MollyL

People are in chat, and then they are not. No need to explain every minute detail of life when you are no longer here.

5:38 pm

rururocks

Eddie Murphy lives in New Jersey doesn't he?

5:38 pm

MollyL

Oh I'm not seeing that date, no, no.

5:38 pm

rururocks

He'd be fun to go to a movie with

5:39 pm

rururocks

he might be a bit old for Doren though

5:39 pm

rururocks

..just sayin'...

5:40 pm

MollyL

Um...no...

5:40 pm

Soodle

<----- Mildly disappointed at the lack of 'OMG, WHERE'S SOODLE, but I'll get over it.

6:30 pm

Soodle

In a horse race, Ru, if there is a dispute, the Stewarts of the Course have an enquiry... ~The term has made it's way into common parlance,

6:33 pm

crosshair

My M.I.L once said "Nevermind grey hair down there, just wait till it all falls out, then you know that you have arrived!"

6:33 pm

zoozzoom

Talking of retiring, time for me to retire for the evening.Trying to finish a book someone recommended.Called "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon.

6:47 pm

MollyL

Hard to believe Ru, but okay

6:51 pm

rururocks

I think my Pub-crawl days are behind me crossy

6:52 pm

rururocks

I would suffer too much the next day

6:52 pm

crosshair

I would still like to give it a go. I have my universal health card. I am covered.. well, unless I stagger out into the road and get run over by the 11:00 pm bus

6:53 pm

crosshair

I have not had a hangover in 20+ years. That's when you know it is too late for you:)

6:54 pm

rururocks

I haven't had a hangover in about that long too.. Maybe on my 50th?.. yes.. I was a bit hung-over then

6:54 pm

rururocks

but ten years before that then :D

6:55 pm

crosshair

In reality, it has been a dry ship here for last 4 months and things are too jangly and all the colours are too bright and everyone is moving too fast. Time for a relapse:)

6:58 pm

rururocks

ah.. well... not for me anymore.

6:59 pm

crosshair

However, I do have a nice little bottle of champers for October First. Just enough for two glasses each:)

8:39 pm

grannyrose

WTG UUSUE2!!!!

8:39 pm

uusue2

hi granny! what's with the magnesium?

8:39 pm

grannyrose

oh dear! * g'day *

8:40 pm

grannyrose

sue, i take it for muscle spasms and cramps.

8:40 pm

uusue2

ah. May it do its thing!

8:41 pm

grannyrose

thanx hun.i keep forgetting to not push myself, and my back muscles don't like it.

8:41 pm

uusue2

Ah yes. It can be hard to take it easy sometimes :-)

8:42 pm

grannyrose

this product is a wonder 'drug' for me. and i can only import it myself. no-one in oz land will import it.

8:43 pm

grannyrose

i should say no company will import it.

8:43 pm

uusue2

Huh. That's weird. I know that Frank needed a lot of magnesium the last time he was in chemo (although that is an entirely different kettle of fish).

8:44 pm

grannyrose

we have magnesium products, but they don't work very well. this is an entirely different compound to what is available here.

8:44 pm

uusue2

Well, I

8:45 pm

uusue2

(oops) I'm glad you're able to get it!

8:47 pm

grannyrose

how is frank, sue? is he improving at all ?

8:48 pm

uusue2

yes, he's feeling quite a bit better and is really getting his appetite back. I think he's finally gained a couple of pounds (after losing 20-25). He will have his 4th chemo treatment (of 12) next week.

8:50 pm

grannyrose

ugh, poor frank.just when he starts to feel human again. i will be praying for him, and of course, you to find the strength to carry on.

8:51 pm

uusue2

thank you - it has, if anything, been even harder emotionally this time - I just hope the chemo works!

8:52 pm

grannyrose

you poor dear. it's harder i expect because you know what is going to happen afterwards. it seems like no time since the last cycle of chemo.

8:53 pm

uusue2

I know - it was actually a whole year but didn't really seem like it.

8:54 pm

grannyrose

i'll brb, phone

8:54 pm

uusue2

and I'm off for a while - good to talk to you, granny!
