1:58 am

ah I am glad. Has the pain in the leg nerve subsided by now?
1:59 am
grannyrose

it's not too bad. i am aware of it, but it's not making me jump any more
1:59 am

what's all this talk about fights in the chog?
1:59 am

ok, progress at least. *healing vibes to your leg*
2:00 am

Just come to Sprite
2:04 am
sprite

*arms wide* room enough for you all!
2:04 am
grannyrose

sprite one of the games you have to rescue butterflies which seem to be hellbent on getting to the top of the board where a nasty black spider is waiting for them.
2:05 am
sprite

ok that sounds like fun
2:05 am
spellit

I always do the F's first, but there isn't one!
2:06 am
sprite

*hands spellit a purple crayon to change some grid letters*
2:07 am
grannyrose

you can create star cubes which explode the board. in one move i exploded three of them at once. the spider was running backwards and forwards and there were no butterflies for it. i just collapsed in a fit of the giggles. warped sense of humour huh?
2:07 am
spellit

That's better I'vegot 4 F's now!
2:07 am
sprite

I love your sense of humour, rose!
2:07 am
grannyrose

2:08 am
sprite

lol rose!
2:08 am
grannyrose

no wait, that's the criteria for gall-stones.
2:08 am
spellit

Sadly I'm only one of those...
2:08 am
sprite

fair people get more gall stones?
2:09 am
grannyrose

there is one more... female...but i don't think spellit would like it... lolll
2:10 am
grannyrose

yes sprite. well actually it is referring to the colour of your skin. it appears the darker races don't develop gall stones as frequently
2:10 am
sprite

definitely not. Since I don't have any Fs, I'll stick to the Ks for spellit. Kind, kissable, kool and kinky.
2:19 am
spellit

Only just over 3 weeks before I go to Australia for the first time! At least weather might be better than UK.
2:19 am
sprite

right. They are just better built, the darker races.
2:19 am
sprite

oh wow spellit, exciting! I hope you'll have a wonderful time.
2:20 am
grannyrose

spellit, i certainly hope so, although we have had a particularly cold winter
2:22 am

2:27 am

such another scale of things than what we are used to, isn't it, spellit
2:30 am
spellit

Yes it's nothing to pop to Paris or Brussels or Amsterdam for us. Jane drove for two days but it was almost nothing on the map!
2:31 am
sprite

exactly. We are really not used to those kinds of distances. For me, as long as it is inside the netherlands, it can never be more than a 4 hour's drive
2:32 am

On Eurostar last month we had lunch in Lom

2:39 am
grannyrose

exactly. and our little church only holds about 100 with sardine oil.
2:40 am

stacking up to the ceiling?
2:40 am

something to do with utter boredom and a can
6:16 am
mrpresident

sorry marc, never understood the clue
6:17 am
MollyL

If something is boring it is mu7. You have to extend that word to get the 9. The 6 is the same first three letters and tin can material.
6:18 am
MollyL

Oops, well I pretty much gave the 6 away, sorry
6:19 am

Meant to say "can material" that meaning what cans are made of.

6:20 am

No, Marc - that's the right idea, but think of the state of being that. Use the sometimes vowel
6:20 am

it is the quality of being boring.... use the bottom d

I talked about it a few weeks ago. Yes, it is helping. I am back at the gym, I ignore correct seating positions, try to accept the pain when it occurs.
1:57 pm
hego

interesting
1:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne

But the written work is a chore.
1:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Unsent letters and that sort of thing.

Kaplan, since you are a therapist, what is your opinion of
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing?
1:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne

yes exactly
2:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I am not trained in it but it is very effective for trauma and I often refer people to colleagues who are certified in EMDR because it helps them get past some blockages
2:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Basically what I am doing with some of the mindfulness is reprogramming my response to pain. Probably EMDR would have helped me as well. There is so much incredible research on the mind-body interrelation but the medical system is not inclined to treat them as unified.
2:05 pm
Kaplan the Magne

We get very intimidated and frightened by the language in our MRI reports, not knowing that MRIs and subjective pain generally do not correlate
2:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne

So yeah, I am actually much better than when this first hit me.
2:06 pm
hego

Sounds like a great approach.
2:07 pm
hego

I'm glad to hear that you are getting some relief.
2:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I hope it will be like a bad dream. Spine dr. said I have no restrictions on my activities. None? I said in disbelief.
2:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Yeah thanks me too
2:08 pm
Kaplan the Magne

the brain is a fascinating universe
2:08 pm
hego

and very unexplored too.
2:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne

how come there are two Y's right next to each other?
2:09 pm
hego

lol. good question.
2:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne

They keep thinking they are exploring it, but I think consciousness is as big as the universe
2:11 pm
MollyL

I agree that the mind-body interrelation is not appropriately used in therapy and in regular medicine.
2:11 pm
MollyL

Sorry, standard medical treatment would have been a better way to say that.
2:12 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Wouldn't it be amazing if the entire brain were entered and it was learned that it contained all the outer galaxies?
2:12 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Allopathic medicine.
2:12 pm
hego

a lot of patients don't want to hear it. They want "Give me a pill and make it better".
2:13 pm
MollyL

Most people are unaware of how their thoughts affect their health
2:13 pm
hego

true
2:14 pm
Kaplan the Magne

It's not so much thoughts, although that is a part of it, it is also unconscious process, memory, trauma and imprinted learning that happens on a preconscious level.
2:15 pm
Kaplan the Magne

What if we explored the outer galaxies, and discovered that the galaxy is actually the amygdala and we were outside and inside at the same time?
2:15 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Or has that already been written in sci-fi?
2:15 pm
hego

probably
2:16 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Either Huxley or Disney.
2:17 pm
Kaplan the Magne


Or HG Wells. Or Marvel Comics.
2:17 pm
hego

one of those.
2:19 pm

And now the weather.

Bad boys are welcome here. Bad girls, well that is another story entirely.
2:40 pm
rururocks

that depends... one has to define Troll to be sure
2:40 pm
hego

No fun for the bad boys, then
2:46 pm
MollyL

The definition of an internet troll is very clear. Here it seems to depend on how much pity fishing one wants to do.

5:04 pm
penquis

yes, I do, too.....everything he does is fresh...very nice!
5:06 pm

It's hard to find a street vendor who does things fresh. You are lucky.
5:09 pm

weary -- 2 dog transports today -- but all passengers were super sweet :-)
10:26 pm

how far did you haul?
10:26 pm

<<<<<2 of the babies :-)
10:26 pm

300 miles total
10:26 pm
jesdraggon

nice
10:27 pm
Uneaixoise

one more in the morning :-)
10:27 pm
jesdraggon

only beasts I hauled today were my own - moved the horses into town because the fire's getting closer and I don't want to have to evacuate them in a hurry if we have to go
10:27 pm
Uneaixoise

omg that's so scary -- so sorry
10:30 pm
jesdraggon

eh. just a precaution; level 2 evacs are still probably 5 km off, and about 10 km of evac around fire
10:30 pm
jesdraggon

wouldn't have bothered today except that if we DO get evac notice, I'm supposed to help haul out my tech's critters too, and she's out of town...
10:31 pm
jesdraggon

which would mean loading my horses and hauling out, then coming back and loading her goats up... would rather take 1 trip if it gets to be a hurry.
10:31 pm
Uneaixoise

have big fear of fires -- think I got it from my dad who was in the gas and oil business and would totally freak whenever he heard the town fire siren -- we lived right across the street from his distribution plant . . .
10:32 pm
Uneaixoise

are the animals nervous? do they sense danger in the wings?
10:33 pm
jesdraggon

nope, they're fine. Other than one has runny eyes and I keep having asthma attacks from the smoke.
10:33 pm
Uneaixoise

any chance of rain?
10:34 pm
jesdraggon

we had about 3 minutes of decent rain today. not enough to even really settle the dust that the crazy-ass winds kick up.
10:35 pm
Uneaixoise

sigh . . . we had some totally unexpected rain today -- torrential for about 20 minutes . . . absolute bliss
10:36 pm
