surprise, I made it to babble. Good morning all.

2:49 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite

2:49 am

Lizlin

How's Tim and how are the rest of you?

2:49 am

sprite

hi Liz :) Thanks for your lovely mail.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Sorry it was written so quickly!

2:51 am

sprite

Tim is asleep, thank God. I just came back from dropping off the car, will go back to bed for a few hours soon. Rob slept until now, is showering and will shop and go to the pharmacy. And Caya is off to school. I just emailed her mentor that she didn't sleep much last night.

2:51 am

sprite

I loved receiving it, Liz. Thanks so much.

2:51 am

Lizlin

What a horrible evening for you all.

2:52 am

Lizlin

I guess you keep checking on ?Tim.

2:52 am

sprite

yeah it was. But I am ever so grateful things didn't turn out worse.

2:52 am

Lizlin

Are you coping OK.

2:52 am

sprite

yes, we are. Looks like it is going ok. He wakes up, is clearminded, and goes back to sleep.

2:53 am

Lizlin

that's good. Was it a car?

2:53 am

sprite

I don't think I have started coping yet, lol. Am still in overdrive managing everything.

2:53 am

Lizlin

Like I said, watch out for yourself too.

2:54 am

sprite

no, a moped. Came from behind Tim, and was blinded by a car in the opposite direction. Never saw Tim and hit him from behind.

2:55 am

Lizlin

Poor Tim. Was the moped guy OK?

2:55 am

sprite

yes, good advice. As a mother you focus solely on your child. But am gonna grab some sleep while Tim is still sleeping himself.

2:55 am

Lizlin

Good idea. Take advantage of the quiet.

2:55 am

sprite

mostly ok. Hurt his hip, but not seriously. He didn't have to go to the ER. Some damage at his moped. Tim's bicycle is totalled.

2:56 am

Lizlin

Better the bike than Tim.

2:56 am

sprite

such a coincidence: the moped guy is a friend of Tim's.

2:56 am

Lizlin

Oh! I bet he feels awful!

2:57 am

sprite

exactly what we said, Liz. Can't begin to tell you how grateful we are. This could easily have been a whole other story.

2:57 am

Lizlin

So happy for that but still a huge shock.

2:57 am

sprite

yeah he did, poor guy. We called him from the hospital to ask how he was doing and to tell him what the news was with Tim. Kid was pretty shaken.

2:58 am

Lizlin

That was kind of you.

2:59 am

sprite

common decency, I think. It is not like he did it on purpose and he got quite a shock as well.

2:59 am

Lizlin

I'm sure he'll want to visit Tim!

2:59 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Of course common decency! But with your attention on Tim that was still kind.

3:00 am

sprite

yes I think so too. And we will have to get the paperwork done with his parents, I think. For the insurance. No idea how that will all pan out.

3:00 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello darling.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Easily I hope.

3:00 am

Lizlin

ugs, Rose

3:00 am

Lizlin

H

3:01 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl

3:01 am

sprite

yeah it is not clear at the moment. I seriously doubt Tim had his lights on. So we have the car with the blazing headlights that is to blame, the kid that actually hit Tim, and Tim himself. Ugh. Such a mess to sort out.

3:02 am

grannyrose

just read back through chog. it would appear both riders are fortunate to have survived.

3:02 am

Lizlin

So true.

3:03 am

sprite

so very true, rose. When they told us in the hospital about his cheekbone being broken and a small fracture at the back of his skull, I realised that with a little more impact... well, you know.

3:03 am

grannyrose

i know, sweetie. thank heaven neither of them fell into the on-coming traffic.

3:04 am

sprite

Amen

3:04 am

Lizlin

that would have been so much worse. Thank goodness.

3:04 am

grannyrose

why do car drivers feel they must have the headlights on high beam so often.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:05 am

grannyrose

will you be able to trace the car? do you have security cameras on the roads over there?

3:05 am

sprite

beats me, rose. It may also be that the road goes up there a bit, which makes the angle of the headlights go up some.

3:05 am

sprite

hey ruby :)

3:05 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Ruby

3:06 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby

3:07 am

sprite

I think the driver actually stopped, and left his details. Don't know exactly, I think the parents of the moped kid have those.

3:07 am

grannyrose

well, someone with a sense of duty....

3:08 am

Lizlin

The right thing to do

3:08 am

Lizlin

The right thing to do

3:08 am

Lizlin

Sorry

3:09 am

sprite

everybody involved has been more than decent, thank God. I was impressed with the carefulness of the emergency car personel and the hospital people.

3:09 am

rubyfoo

wow,I just read over a little of th chog! Poor Sprite and Tim and the other kid!!!

3:09 am

rubyfoo

Did wet, slippery roads have anything to do with it? Here, everything is wet and covered with fallen leaves

3:10 am

Lizlin

That made everything a bit easier for you :)

3:10 am

sprite

yeah, it was an intense night here, ruby. But things could have been a lot worse. Am so grateful Tim is sleeping in his own bed here and will be ok in a few weeks.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

very dangerous for driving and even walking

3:10 am

sprite

not really, ruby.

3:10 am

Lizlin

Time for dinner, so hugs to all (and Tim)

3:11 am

sprite

it did, Liz. Enjoy your dinner :) *hugs* also for your husband

3:13 am

grannyrose

sprite, not wishing to cause too much more angst for you, but are you checking Tim regularly? concussion can have some surprising effects. just make sure he is breathing.

3:14 am

grannyrose

enjoy, liz. i hope you have a lovely night.

3:14 am

sprite

yeah I am doing that and he is fine.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

3:15 am

grannyrose

how far away from the hospital are you, sprite?

3:15 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby

3:16 am

sprite

we had to go to Amsterdam, because our local hospital doesn't have a jaw specialist in their emergency cr4. So, about 30 kilometers.

3:17 am

grannyrose

so if something were to go awry, you could use the local hospital?

3:19 am

sprite

yeah if it were very urgent, we could.

3:19 am

sprite

he must go back to the Amsterdam hospital on wednesday

3:20 am

grannyrose

poor kid, he has to go through so much before it starts to improve.

3:21 am

sprite

ugh yes, don't envy his situation at all. He'll be in a lot of pain before things will start to improve.

3:22 am

grannyrose

from memory, tepid mouth rinses are usually the way to go.

3:23 am

sprite

ok, will remember that. Rob is getting him some soup, appelsauce and yoghurt stuff.

3:24 am

grannyrose

after every meal, snack. the aim is to keep the suture line as clean as possible.

3:24 am

sprite

ah ok, that makes sense.

3:25 am

grannyrose

in a day or two, add a little salt to the water. not just now though...it will sting

3:25 am

sprite

Rob's boss was very nice too. Rob had texted him that he would be late this morning, and his boss said not to worry about a thing and take his time.

3:25 am

sprite

ok rose. No, won't torture him with salt now :)

3:28 am

sprite

ok, am fading fast. Thanks for your support and friendship. *hugs* for now.

3:28 am

grannyrose

can he4 the timer going off. i think dinner is on the way. xoxox to you, dearest. hang in there, it will look better tomorrow, and evry day it will be better for him.

Marc Freeman

4:35 am

crosshair

goodmorning everyone

5:39 am

sukee

Hi Crossy, laundry is done.

5:40 am

sukee

Here for a few before I'm off to the gym :)

5:40 am

crosshair

wow! Wish I had your energy this morning, sukee!

5:41 am

sukee

I don't know how much energy I have :) Haven't been out in a week due to a cold. Got to get back in the groove :)

5:41 am

sukee

Have my boots out for the first time this year, such a hassle.

5:42 am

crosshair

I have been lucky this year and have yet to get a cold/flu, but I did make sure to get this years flu shot nice and realy.:)

5:42 am

crosshair

early

5:42 am

sukee

Although, they are so comfortable. I have ugs with a knitted upper :)

5:42 am

sukee

I got my flu shot then I got the cold :)

5:43 am

sukee

But, I think it was coming before I got the shot

5:43 am

crosshair

Well, we all know that just getting the shot has nothing to do with getting the cold or flu afterwards. The shot is made from the dead virus and you cannot catch anything from it.

5:44 am

crosshair

yes, you most likely had it coming on before the shot

5:44 am

sukee

I know :)

5:44 am

sukee

Since I work out at a place attached to a senior's centre I stayed away. Don't want to spread my germs.

5:45 am

crosshair

Good stuff. i wish more people had your consideration. They come to work/school, coughing, and sneezing and wheezing, acting the hero, and infecting everyone else.

5:46 am

sukee

They are expecting 3 cm of snow here today. I see it has started already.

5:46 am

sukee

I hated that when sick people used to come into work. Yet, if you took too much time off you were the one management was not happy with.

5:46 am

crosshair

we already have 2 inches staying on the ground and it suppsed to snow again today

5:47 am

sukee

It has snowed here but disappeared in hours. I guess this will stay.

5:48 am

crosshair

I had the 4-wheel drive going on a trip up into the hills yesterday. i was blowing and drifting pretty good.

5:48 am

crosshair

it*

5:51 am

sukee

Listening to the new version of Do They Know It's Christmas. It sounds good.

5:54 am

crosshair

I am avoiding all Christmas music like the plague for now:)

5:55 am

sukee

I hear you, haven't listened to any yet, other than seeing this clip of them recording this song. My birthday is the end of this month so I really don't think of Christmas until it passes :_)

5:55 am

sukee

I did start to watch Love Actually yesterday, but found it too early :)

5:55 am

crosshair

And when the time comes, I also plan to only shop at stores that are not afraid to say "Merry Christmas" in their advertisements. it rankles the heck out of me this time of year, all the political correctness.

5:56 am

sukee

Doesn't bother me, other people have holidays too.

5:57 am

sukee

But, I say Merry Christmas, and I consider myself an atheist.

5:57 am

crosshair

thats right. We do not say "Happy candle day" to our jewish friends so what homogenize Christmas?

5:58 am

crosshair

I honor each festivity by saying the name of it properly to those who celebrate it.

5:58 am

crosshair

easy eh?

5:58 am

sukee

Happy Holidays (Holy Days) is fine for me, it's been used most of my life and people didn't seem to get offended them.

5:59 am

crosshair

it has become way too commecial for my liking anyways. the mrs. and I have toned it right down now our kid is old enough to have kids of his own

5:59 am

crosshair

darn typos.. just translate lol

5:59 am

sukee

I exchange gifts with two people, that is it. I spend Christmas Day watching Doctor Who and eating :)

5:59 am

sukee

I got what you said :)

6:00 am

crosshair

lol@ Doctor Who binge on Christmas day:))

6:01 am

sukee

Yep there is always a new episode then and I bought this season at iTunes :)

6:01 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:01 am

sukee

Hi Liz

6:01 am

crosshair

I have never seen any of the newer episodes, so when you girls day Dr. Who, my mind conjures up an image of that guy with the afro and the brightly coloured scarf.

6:01 am

Lizlin

Also looking forward to Doctor Who at Christmas - in fact, can't wait!

6:01 am

crosshair

howdy, liz

6:02 am

sukee

With Santa! :)

6:02 am

Lizlin

Hi Crossy and Sukee

6:02 am

Lizlin

We keep talking about how it'll all resolve.

6:02 am

crosshair

do not know what year that particular Dr. Who is

6:03 am

Lizlin

That was Tom Baker, years ago, Crossy :)

6:03 am

sukee

I just love that Santa and his elves have Cockney accents :)

6:03 am

crosshair

Used to watch it on the old P.B.S channel 17

6:03 am

Lizlin

Well, of course!!! Duh! But then, I'm a Londoner so what would you expect me to say! LOL!

6:04 am

Lizlin

Tom Baker - Doctor Who - 1974 - 81

6:05 am

sukee

I liked him, that is when I really got into it even though I had watched since the beginning.

6:05 am

sukee

I am loving Peter Capaldi though.

6:05 am

crosshair

cool:) I remember that, Coronation street and I watched tons of Antiques roadshow, both the american and british version

6:05 am

Lizlin

But it was lovely to see a brief reprisal of his role in the 50th anniversary episode.

6:06 am

Lizlin

Also love Peter Capaldi - so dark!

6:06 am

sukee

Yes, I knew it was him as soon as I heard his voice and saw the back of his head.

6:06 am

Lizlin

I liked the idea of the doctors being able to revisit previous incarnations.

6:08 am

sukee

Well, I have to run for now. Take care all.

6:09 am

Lizlin

Have a good day, sukee

6:09 am

crosshair

It is interesting to watch a British version and an american version of Antiques Roadshow back to back and note the differences-- in the american version they will be looking at some ultra-rare bit of pottery, and the expert will say" This is worth $500,000.00," and the person will lose their mind, but on the British version they will say " This bit of pottery is worth 3 million pounds!," and the person will say "..oh...nice.. how lovely" I love the calm reserve even in the face of all that money:)

6:10 am

Lizlin

That's a laugh. Haven't watch the Antiques Roadshow for years. Only ever saw the Brit version with Arthur Negus.

6:10 am

Lizlin

So reserved!

6:10 am

crosshair

Love how they take it all with a grain of salt.. so cool and laid back:)

6:11 am

Lizlin

So British!!!!

6:11 am

crosshair

" 5 million pounds you say? Oh, how lovely... is tea ready yet?"

6:11 am

Lizlin

lol - bring out the cucumber sandwiches.

6:11 am

crosshair

cut the crust off please

6:12 am

Lizlin

And brown bread of course

6:12 am

crosshair

I am that way to a point as my welsh blood shines through, but if someone else gets all wrangly, it will get me going as well

6:13 am

Lizlin

:)

6:13 am

Lizlin

Not seeing my last 9 words, so I think I'll leave them til tomorrow. Have a good day, Crossy :)

6:14 am

crosshair

tc liz

6:14 am

crosshair

mm, snowing like crazy atm.

6:18 am

crosshair

cool, just checked our weather site and they have a snow squall warning issued (sometimes it sucks being on the shores of a large body of water) and they say 20 cm+ of blowing and drifting snow today;)

6:19 am

crosshair

that's 8 inches for my american friends;)

6:36 am

car.eeyore

6:36 am

crosshair

Howdy, car. Would be more than happy to sedn you some:)

6:37 am

crosshair

send

6:39 am

crosshair

it is an adjustment again is all. Soon there will be 4 feet of the stuff groomed on the hills and we will all be driving along on hard-pack dusted with sand, blithely careening through intersections at 80 kph with a timmies coffee in one hand:)

6:40 am

crosshair

40 feet on the hills*

6:42 am

car.eeyore

nbt...something tells me that is an accomplishment with this grid.

6:45 am

crosshair

I am multi-tasking. i have the grid open in one window, and my current assignment story open in another. This makes for a great story, but a lousy finish as far as babble grids are concerned;(

Scrabbler

Hi all. Cousin Earth--are you here now?

9:02 am

penquis

hi....

9:03 am

flosey

hi Scrabbler - Cousin Earth?

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I am worried about the weather--snow today has made roads quite slippery. Then a big storm will start tonight through Wed and might bring up to 2 feet of snow.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

My cousin, with Babble name Earth, plays here but doesn't chat unless I ask for her.

9:05 am

flosey

oooh sounds like Winter has set in

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Quite abruptly, flosey.

9:06 am

flosey

we had first heavy frost the other day, picked the kiwis - first year we've had fruit - all of 14

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Where do you live that you grow kiwis, flosey?

9:07 am

flosey

small island off west coast - between mainland and Vancouver Island

9:08 am

Scrabbler

I thought so, but how do kiwis thrive there?

9:09 am

flosey

well, we were told they would so planted - must also have a male vine - lost the male and had to replace it

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Amazing.

9:11 am

flosey

perhaps in a somewhat sheltered spot - really don't know much about them - had the vine growing up over a small deck - was good for shade until 2 years ago we had flowers - the entire flower plus bud fell off, couple of years ago planted another male - he produced one flower - that was sufficient to fertilize our female

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Good work, flosey.

9:12 am

flosey

this year the petals only fell, leaving the tiny nub that became a kiwi - now we have to wait for them to continue to ripen

9:13 am

flosey

it was quite exciting

9:36 am

flosey

fw and off to read - be back after bridge tonight

9:55 am

evanonut

my job exposes me to too much comma and apostrophe use. I think it's rubbing off on me.

9:56 am

evanonut

use meaning abuse

9:57 am

MLFAN17

Third column E?

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Ruru. Air, Fire, Wind, etc.

9:58 am

MLFAN17

hi scrab

9:58 am

rururocks

good morning nutty

9:58 am

evanonut

howdy ruru/scrabs/etc

9:58 am

rururocks

it's really the exclamation marks that would worry me

9:59 am

MLFAN17

hi evan

9:59 am

rururocks

if you had to deal with a lot of those I mean

9:59 am

evanonut

I have a co-worker that frequently uses exclamation marks (2 and 3) in messages to other co-workers

reminds me of middle school....

10:03 am

rururocks

that's funny.. that is what I think.. 7 exclamation marks ? really?

10:03 am

MollyL

I agree with Pen. Over use of the exclamation point is very Jr. High

10:04 am

MollyL

And here, what's with "TY!!"...is someone excited about saying thank you?

10:04 am

MLFAN17

TE 7/8 clue please?

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Or upper case letters.

10:05 am

rubyfoo

10:05 am

penquis

mlf....glass home for plants...

10:05 am

penquis

it's very "look at me" that is typical of pre-teens and young teens...

10:05 am

evanonut

and there are those phrases i can't stand (but even use still) "it is what it is" and "seriously?"

10:06 am

MLFAN17

so the TE 8 doesnt go with that?

10:06 am

MollyL

I think of it more as I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!

10:06 am

penquis

sorry....that is the 8....the 7 is a different word...

10:07 am

penquis

as a school psychologist, i think it's both.... ;o)

10:07 am

MLFAN17

10:07 am

10:08 am

penquis

10:08 am

MLFAN17

ruby i know where did that come from??

10:09 am

rururocks

I do that every day now nutty as the kids drive by with their Rap music shaking my house

10:09 am

rubyfoo

I do like, however, the expression "screw the pooch". I googled it and found its interesting history. Something about the sound of it, strikes me very funny

10:09 am

MLFAN17

i had the 7/32 not the 28

10:10 am

rururocks

*calls PETA on Ruby*

10:10 am

Marc Freeman

10:11 am

penquis

evanonut

10:11 am

rururocks

oh.. I use that one occasionally

10:12 am

MLFAN17

10:12 am

MLFAN17

sorry typo

10:12 am

penquis

10:12 am

rubyfoo

speaking of which, they've brought the sheep back to "mow" the field above our house, a truly charming sight and sound

10:12 am

Scrabbler

I love seeing sheep and goats in pastures.

10:12 am

rururocks

Rent a sheep?

10:13 am

penquis

i am confused.....the te 8 i have does not go with one of the 7's....are you referring to the th 8?

10:13 am

MLFAN17

i thought it did my fault pen i will find it thanks

10:13 am

evanonut

there's a farm for sale down the road that has sheep. i would seriously consider buying, except that's not the direction i want to move.

10:13 am

rururocks

*draws MLF maps for Penquis*

10:14 am

penquis

mlf....what are you looking for?

10:14 am

rubyfoo

What's nice about this is that it cleans up the long grass for winter without using machines. It is great to watch when they move them from one section to another (it's a very big field) with the help of their two border collies

10:14 am

rururocks

what do you do with the field Ruby?

10:15 am

MLFAN17

i got the de 7 thanks pen

10:15 am

rubyfoo

Mostly just admire it; it is the only open space left in this little but desirable village

10:15 am

MLFAN17

i am just looking for an 8

10:15 am

penquis

i found the th 8...

10:15 am

rururocks

there is no AN 8

10:15 am

rubyfoo

I used to pick wild flowers there, but am a little bit afraid of vipers that could be lurking

10:15 am

penquis

10:15 am

rubyfoo

dinner, see you later, kids

10:16 am

rururocks

10:16 am

penquis

bye ruby...

10:16 am

rubyfoo

was that about my dinner, ru?

10:16 am

rururocks

no the vipers

10:16 am

rururocks

I hate snakes

10:16 am

MLFAN17

ruru no any 8 is what i mean

10:16 am

rubyfoo

I feel the same way

10:16 am

MLFAN17

ruru me too i hate snakes or spiders

10:17 am

rubyfoo

I like snakes but am afraid of vipers and they are endemic to this area

10:17 am

penquis

mlf.....th 8 refers to the body section that includes the chest....adjective....

10:17 am

rubyfoo

I like spiders, too, but only outdoors, not my "Tergaria Gigantea" that was in the kitchen sink

10:18 am

rubyfoo

(almost as big as my hand)

10:18 am

rururocks

whoa

10:18 am

rururocks

what's a tergaria gigantean a tarantula?

10:19 am

rubyfoo

it's about the same size but not hairy, just brown and very ugly.

10:19 am

rururocks

ewww.. that would set me back for the day

10:19 am

MollyL

A heart surgeon is referred to as a th8 surgeon

10:19 am

rubyfoo

And it kept trying to climb out of the sink and I kept spraying it with hot water to force it down the drain.

10:19 am

rururocks

I tell the spiders in my house there are better things to eat outside

10:19 am

penquis

*going to the sink to make sure the stopper is permanently inserted*....

10:20 am

rururocks

10:20 am

rubyfoo

I've learned to NEVER leave pots to soak

10:20 am

rururocks

10:20 am

JBV

Scrabbler

Yes, JBV, and I am anxious. The ride was quite slippery this morning.

10:22 am

rururocks

I don't like black ice either

10:23 am

JBV

well if there's enough snow, roads will be closed, I imagine

10:23 am

rururocks

lessee.. spiders, snakes, black ice..

10:23 am

jaxx7

Ruby, do you mean Tegenaria, the wandering spider? Is it a he or a she in your sink. They are only looking for lurve. The he usually does the wandering - he has huge palps on the front so you can tell the difference. the best thing to do is scoop them up in a glass and put them outside again. They do not come up the drainpipe, they are too big, they usually get in through an open window.

10:23 am

*Waits to hear why Bich is having such a miserable day*

2:06 pm

bichon

We've had pouring rain and temps around 40. That's why. And, the dogs won't poop

2:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, dear, time for the castor oil

2:07 pm

bichon

That's not the problem. Bichons don't like to get their curls wet. They'd rather be constipated.

2:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

shoveling off a spot doesn't work, i take it?

2:08 pm

bichon

It's just rain out there. If I let them go down cellar, they wouldn't have a problem. But I won't

2:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmmm

2:09 pm

bichon

It's supposed to let up a bit this evening

2:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

can they swim?

2:10 pm

bichon

please!

2:10 pm

MollyL

So, I assume leaving them outside until they do their business is out?

2:11 pm

bichon

Unless I want the neighbors to hear moaning and howling and call animal control. These are high maintenance dogs

2:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, i was just thinking, my brother has dogs that can't swim because they're so squat and dense (bulldogs?) and i was wondering if your dogs have this problem (i am not a dog expert here)

2:12 pm

bichon

No, they can swim, but only if their life depended on it. They wouldn't voluntarily go into water

2:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i see, kind of like cats in that

2:14 pm

bichon

My neighbors with Labs and Goldens take their dogs out in all sorts of weather and they love it. Mine like the outdoors, but not wet

I must be part Bichon.

Does snowfall bother the pampered pooches as well, bichon?

2:38 pm

bichon

not as much. I don't let them go in deep snow, but they don't seem to have as much of a problem

2:38 pm

MollyL

So they will poop in the snow but not when it's raining?

2:39 pm

Guess bichons are not good sellers in the U.K then lol

7:41 pm

he has always been a loner but in the last few months, he has been more attached to me. He is dying. Kidney disease and hyperthyroidism.

7:47 pm

penquis

hi...sorry about your cat...

7:50 pm

phandmd

he has lived a good life. I got him from the shelter. He is a black cat, he wasn't a kitten, he was in isolation because he had bit someone, and the owner surrender sheet said he peed outside of the cat box. Not sure he would have been adopted if I hadn't. 4 years ago, he was diagnosed with the hyperthyroidism and I spent 1500 treating him with radioactive iodine, the cancer came back. Not much I can do.

7:52 pm

penquis

no, sounds like you have done as much as you could!...

7:54 pm

She has started going to the on campus therapist. She is recommending antianxiety meds.

I hope that is in conjunction with coping skills.

9:38 pm

Dorens

i'm not fond of lima beans. just for the record. foods don't disgust me, like they do some people, but i'm still tempted to make a ring of lima beans around the rim of my plate if they're on the menu

9:39 pm

Dorens

no brussels spruts... have we had this convo before or is it nrk/

9:39 pm

kje

oh, yes, don't like limas either, unless disguised!

9:40 pm

kje

9:40 pm

Dorens

Dorens

9:41 pm

kje

9:41 pm

Dorens

9:42 pm

welki

you need a kitchenaid to slice up sprouts - or you end up with mandolin fingers

9:42 pm

dianedecoder

9:42 pm

kje
