Like your picture dizgrannie. Wish it were spring here.

TraderKate

Hi grandma Barb... sounds like you have your hands full.. glad you hav time to join us :)

3:24 am

sprite

good morning all

3:26 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning my dearest sprite. i missed you last night. xoxoxox

3:27 am

sprite

hi sweetie :) A good evening to you and *hugs*. Yesterday was hectic here, each time I sat down to play, something came up.

3:27 am

sprite

how are you? Still soaring high?

3:28 am

grannyrose

i am on auto... cruising at high altitude. lollll

3:28 am

sprite

hehehe great to hear. You definitely deserve some UP time to make up for all the rest. And still taking it easy, I trust? No cleaning etc?

3:29 am

grannyrose

still taking it easy. all i've done in a major way was coffee with friend june.

3:30 am

grannyrose

why was your yesterday so busy? is everything okay?

3:30 am

sprite

I am so proud of you. I know how hard it is to refrain from overdoing stuff when you feel great.

3:31 am

sprite

yeah everything is just fine, just minor things. Caya late for school and needing a ride, telephone calls, and I dropped in at a friend's to bring her a little gift

3:31 am

grannyrose

thanx sweetie. it's so hard to sit idly by when you feel you could do something.

3:32 am

sprite

you know, when you order something online and you fill in billing address and a different address for where the package has to go? Right. So I had to take it myself, lol.

3:33 am

grannyrose

how annoying for you. sometimes these on-line sites make more work.

3:33 am

sprite

I know :D Maybe this helps, it is what I have learned from years of therapy: we are used to asking ourselves 'can I do it?' That is not helpful, because we always 'can' do it. We have never been trained to know and respect our limits, so we use willpower and push through everything. What we need to ask ourselves is: 'If I do it, won't the price be too high?'

3:35 am

sprite

yeah well, mistakes are made all the time, sometimes by others, sometimes by me. The lady was truly apologetic and immediately refunded me my postage. She had overlooked it. It happens.

3:35 am

grannyrose

that makes sense. ;-)

3:36 am

sprite

*giggles* Oh we poor children of narcissistic parents!

3:36 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* yup, that we surely are.

3:37 am

sprite

well sweetie, we have eachother, which means there is someone in our world who really knows and understands the damage taken and the challenges offered. And, of course, the very unp-c jokes :D

3:38 am

grannyrose

*now giggling* absolutely, dearest

3:41 am

sprite

did you have a good time with June again?

3:44 am

grannyrose

of course. the weather stayed dry. light breeze, some sunshine.

3:44 am

sprite

oh that is lovely. And great company and a nice cuppa... what more can you wish for?

3:45 am

grannyrose

what is on your agenda for today?

3:46 am

sprite

cleaning the kitchen for caya, a load of laundry and a walk with terra. In between some crocheting and tv, some reading and a nana nap.

3:47 am

grannyrose

sounds like a nice easy day for you then.

3:47 am

sprite

it should be. Yesterday was a little over the top, lol.

3:48 am

sprite

name that proper noun: first name of the werewolf in harry potter

3:48 am

grannyrose

any reaction from yesterday? bad night? body objecting?

3:49 am

sprite

bad night, painful body, bad dreams

3:49 am

grannyrose

*sigh* you poor thing. gentle hugs, sweetie.

3:50 am

sprite

nah, no worries. I am fine, it goes with the territory and sometimes you don't have much choice in what you do and don't. Today should be calm.

3:53 am

grannyrose

strangely i slept well again last night. i wonder why?? loll

3:53 am

sprite

I really have no idea. Probably for once Don didn't snore *innocent look*

3:54 am

grannyrose

*giggling* probably....

3:54 am

sprite

no takers? Remus (Lupin)

3:56 am

grannyrose

i have had the good fortune to miss just about everything re harry potter. i know the name... end of story.

3:56 am

sprite

what a shame. One of the best children/young adult series I have ever read.

3:58 am

grannyrose

don and i made a decision not to expose our spirits/souls to things like harry potter. we don't miss what we have never had.

4:00 am

sprite

brilliant fantasy, well written, great humour, an interesting development along with harry's age from child to adult being a children's book and moving through the series till being an adult's book at the end... and the movies aren't half had either. Not sure why you are against it, lol.

4:01 am

grannyrose

it's a personal thing. some people are stronger and can resist the bad influence of stories of magic, evil etc.

4:02 am

sprite

in most good stories there is an element of evil. It is the way of making the good win that makes the story interesting and inspiring.

4:03 am

grannyrose

it's like allowing young teens and earlier to watch films and play video games full of violence and then expecting them to make safe decisions as to what is acceptable by society.

4:03 am

grannyrose

over here our new prime minister is starting a campaign against violence to women.

4:05 am

grannyrose

it needs to start with NOT allowing young vulnerable minds being exposed to excessive violence in films and games.

4:06 am

sprite

I would say the danger lies in letting them watch/play stuff that celebrates violence. From HP they would learn that you have to stand up against evil, that sometimes you need to sacrifice for the greater good and that you have to look deep into yourself to find the courage and truth needed to let good prevail... and that in the end, love and compassion are the only answers.

4:07 am

grannyrose

sweetie, that sounds great, but the kids are not having that explained to them by responsible adults.

4:10 am

sprite

in series like HP they wouldn't even need that, because the story explains it very clearly. I think it is a mistake to automatically assume a fantasy story is bad for children.

4:10 am

grannyrose

i am not bagging anyone who chooses to watch/read things like that. i choose not too do so. i would fight tooth and na4 for your or anyone's right to watch/read what they choose.

4:11 am

sprite

we were not discussing the right to watch it, I think? But more whether or not all fantasy is bad and whether it is bad for young people to see evil and violence in a movie or game or book, no matter if it is embraced or rather fought?

4:14 am

grannyrose

all fantasy is not bad. otherwise we wouldn't have the fairy stories of our child hood. mind you, the brother grimm stories can be pretty gruesome. not something i would like to read to someone as young as 5or 6.

4:16 am

sprite

fairy tales picture the archetypes, and children immediately recognise them as such. It is very interesting. Btw, my books are fantasy... and there is a very clear and potent evil in them... not sure you'd want to read it.

4:17 am

sprite

fireflies

4:18 am

grannyrose

i guess it depends on how graphic it is portrayed. i still have issues with explicit sex scenes.

4:18 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!!

4:18 am

sprite

oops. I think it is a no go then. The first book ends in one. Highly functional in the story, but still.

4:19 am

grannyrose

lollll....maybe it is double standards with me. i don't have issues with written words. it's sitting in a theatre sharing the viewing with complete strangers.

4:20 am

sprite

roflol! Well, in that case you'll be fine... my books haven't been made into movies. Yet ;)
Speaking of which... I made a new puzzle, of ladybugs. In three sizes. In case you want to jigidi.

4:21 am

grannyrose

lovely my darling i will look forward to it.

4:21 am

sprite

enjoy :) A big *hug* and sleep well, my friend. Sweet dreams and keep up the good work of not overdoing stuff.

4:23 am

grannyrose

xoxox honey. enjoy your easy day.

5:13 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

5:43 am

Anniebrook

good morning, Scrabbs

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Annie, is Bobby getting excited as the baseball playoffs approach?

5:46 am

Anniebrook

Yes, he is and he is into football now as the season starts

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Which football team is his favorite?

5:46 am

Anniebrook

He likes the Giants

5:47 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, How are all my children that are in my prayers? I have added Aiden a while ago. How ishe doing?

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Tell him that I have to be game doc for a high school football game tonight.

5:48 am

Anniebrook

I will. He just woke up.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Aiden's family moved to Florida to get optimal cancer care from a specialist there. Oliver is in remission.

5:51 am

Anniebrook

Thank G-d about Oliver and I will still keep all the children in my prayers. An extra prayer for Aiden.

5:52 am

sukee

Good morning all.

5:53 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I told Bobby that you are the team doctor tonight. He thought that was exciting. He asked your name and I said Scrabbler, he said, "No, her real name so I told him. He thought that was "cool"

5:53 am

Anniebrook

hi sukee, how are you ?

5:54 am

sukee

Not too bad, woke up a bit sore but it is lessening each day.

5:54 am

sukee

I don't feel like there is a knife in my back any more.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sukee

5:54 am

Anniebrook

It is starting to ease up. Wonderful.

5:54 am

sukee

How are you?

5:55 am

sukee

Hi Scrabs.

5:55 am

Anniebrook

I broke a piece off my front tooth in the back. Can't wait to get to the dentist. I did it while I was flossing.

5:56 am

sukee

Ouch.

5:56 am

Anniebrook

I hope he can bond it.

5:56 am

sukee

I'm sure he can, two of my front teeth are bonded and are fine.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Superglue to the rescue.

6:00 am

Anniebrook

I was in the kitchen getting a cup of coffee. Sukee, you eased my mind about your front teeth. I cannot afford a large expense right now.

6:01 am

sukee

I hear you, it can be expensive.

6:01 am

Anniebrook

Being on a fixed income sucks (excuse my language). I can say worse. LOL

6:01 am

sukee

Yes, believe me I know.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Unexpected dental, medical, auto, home, computer problems suck.

6:03 am

sukee

Due to this illness I had to cancel some writing work so I will be getting paid less in October, but thankfully I have enough to cover my basic expenses.

6:03 am

bichon

Mornin' guys

6:03 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Do I ever know? Super Storm Sandy took my car. Just bought a new computer so I have to lay low for a while.

6:03 am

sukee

Hi bich.

6:03 am

Anniebrook

Hi bichon

6:04 am

sukee

lol, I had to recheck that I didn't add a t to your name :)

6:04 am

bichon

Bit chilly this morning, time for flannel sheets

6:04 am

Anniebrook

sukee, Who do you write for?

6:04 am

sukee

Yep, I think it is becoming time for me to break out my new electric blanket. :)

6:05 am

Anniebrook

I love this weather.

6:05 am

sukee

I do some contract work for a place called Words of Worth, they provide blog postings to businesses.

6:05 am

sukee

So I basically write 250 word pieces, usually about 150 or so a month.

6:05 am

Anniebrook

Interesting. Good for you.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Hi bichon.

6:07 am

sukee

It does not take long to do and brings me over $700 a month usually, and I am on disability but they allow me to work and only take off $200 each month. They are trying to encourage people on disability to work I guess :)

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I am still sleeping with open windows and am obeying my rule of no furnace use until October. I think I will make it this year.

6:08 am

sukee

This month is not supposed to be that bad here.

6:08 am

sukee

No snow on the forecast yet :)

6:08 am

Anniebrook

I still have my bedroom a/c on low in my bedroom. Like to sleep in a coldish room

6:08 am

bichon

I'm sure we'll need heat by some time next month

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Summery weather continues here although the nights are cool.

6:09 am

Anniebrook

Perfect weather, scrabbs

6:09 am

bichon

Thus, the flannel pj's

6:10 am

Scrabbler

We get our first frost by the second week of October and our first snowfall by the first week of November. I should switch to flannel sheets this weekend.

6:11 am

bichon

I have to wash the sheets first after being in the attic

6:11 am

sukee

I currently have a thin flannel sheet and a throw on my bed right now. I have to wash my blanket (the non-electric one) :)

6:12 am

Scrabbler

My attic is not easily accessible. I wonder what critters live up there.

6:12 am

bichon

My attic is fairly easy to get to, but what we have stored up there is overwhelming

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I access my attic through a ceiling portal. So my basement is loaded with crap.

6:14 am

bichon

Then there's the basement. It's finished but we use it for storage

6:14 am

Anniebrook

No basement or attic here. Storage is a problem so I am very careful with what I store.

6:14 am

bichon

Does your building have storage space in the basement?

6:15 am

Anniebrook

No, bichon

6:15 am

Anniebrook

No basement

6:15 am

sukee

Having my Cheerios and two cats are looking up at me expectantly :)

6:15 am

sukee

I have a lack of storage here too. I just got rid of a bunch of junk.

6:16 am

bichon

How many bedrooms do you have Annie, just two?

6:16 am

Scrabbler

And Remy Rabbit is chewing the couch right under my butt.

6:16 am

sukee

:)

6:16 am

Anniebrook

Literally eating you out of house and home

6:17 am

bichon

Mine are chewing on bully sticks. They reek. [dried cows penis]

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Many rabbits have chewed this couch--Rusty, Callie, Peter, Benjamin, Beatrix, and now Remy.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

What!? Really, bichon?

6:18 am

bichon

Yes, they love it. And it's great for keeping their teeth clean.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

It really is a cow penis?

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I think I just lost my appetite for a few weeks.

6:19 am

bichon

well, used to be

6:20 am

bichon

You know the part of the dog's brain is love of the putrid

6:20 am

grant

anatomical anomaly?

6:20 am

bichon

it's a dog thing, you wouldn't get it

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my. I am so grossed out.

6:22 am

bichon

Jeez scrab, you're a doctor

6:22 am

grant

what if it were a bull's penis?

6:23 am

sukee

Oh well, at least they use all of the animal for something.

6:23 am

sukee

Any clues for the E in the last column?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

But eating it...yuck.

6:23 am

bichon

I just had to take them away or they'd chew on them all day

6:24 am

Scrabbler

And remember, I am a vegetarian.

6:24 am

bichon

People eat other organs like liver and kidey, why not a penis

6:24 am

Anniebrook

Good thing ruru isnt here right now.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

6:25 am

sukee

I can't stand organ meats :)

6:25 am

bichon

too early for him

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day, kids.

6:26 am

bichon

I agree, I would eat organ meats. My mother used to feed me tongue until I saw it uncooked on the counter

6:26 am

Anniebrook

Have an easy day, scrabbs

6:26 am

sukee

Take care.

6:26 am

sukee

I actually used to like tongue, never saw it raw though :) I loved head cheese until I found out what it was.

6:26 am

sukee

Oh, and then I tried cod tongues and that was it, no more.

6:27 am

bichon

My mother used to bribe us kids to eat liver

6:28 am

sukee

How about a clue for the U in the 2nd column then?

6:28 am

Anniebrook

U + first 3 letters of portion of medicine

6:28 am

sukee

Today is a day off for my baseball team, can check out the new shows on TV today.

6:29 am

sukee

Ty Annie.

6:30 am

bichon

Jays are doing well, so are the Mets

6:30 am

sukee

Yes, and we want the Mets to do well :)

6:30 am

sukee

Get them Yankees :)

6:31 am

Anniebrook

I am a diehard Yankee fan. Dems are fightin woids.

6:31 am

sukee

Sorry Annie :)

6:31 am

Anniebrook

:)

6:31 am

sukee

I was very sad about Yogi Berra though.

6:32 am

sukee

The Jays paid tribute to him yesterday before the game.

6:32 am

Anniebrook

Yes, he was a great player. I was very sad too.

6:32 am

sukee

He was part of all of our lives whether we knew it or not. I don't remember not knowing his name.

6:32 am

Anniebrook

I think the Jays have it this year. *sigh*

6:32 am

sukee

We need it, it's been 22 years since we have been in the playoffs.

6:33 am

sukee

The stadium is sold out for the rest of the season.

6:34 am

Anniebrook

Good for the Jays. I like watching Bautista at bat. But I still want the Yankees in the playoffs. Maybe a wild card.

6:35 am

sukee

They will probably be a wild card.

6:36 am

sukee

It is funny, at the very beginning of the season, during spring training I said that I wanted them to win this year for Bautista since he has never been in the playoffs.

6:36 am

Anniebrook

Hopefully. It aint over till its over.

6:36 am

sukee

He is a free agent next year.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

He belongs on the Jays.

6:37 am

sukee

I love our Dominicans :)

6:38 am

Anniebrook

Me too. They are great players. My grandkids were in DR and they played with a Dominican team. They are good!

6:39 am

Anniebrook

It was a children's team. My daughter asked for equipment donations and went down there with a great deal of stull.

6:40 am

Anniebrook

*stuff

6:40 am

sukee

My eyesight is so bad I saw stuff anyway :)

6:40 am

Anniebrook

You read typos well.

6:41 am

sukee

Encarnacion has a charity to help kids in the DR and I think all of them do something to help their homeland.

6:42 am

Anniebrook

As they should. Going to shower and be ready to get to the dentist early. Nice talking to you.

6:42 am

sukee

Anyway, I think the Jays are unstoppable this year. Now we have to get by the Rays.

6:42 am

bichon

stats for lone s in the 4th column, pls

6:42 am

sukee

Okay, I'm about ready for a break anyway. Take care.

6:43 am

sukee

Let me try and figure it out, hard to tell which S it is.

Hi Une.

6:52 am

Uneaixoise

hey sukee - did i see that you're feeling better? that's great! :-)

6:53 am

sukee

Yes, the pain is lessening, still there but more tolerable.

6:53 am

Uneaixoise

must be miserable but so glad it's improving a bit . . .

6:53 am

sukee

It is, would not wish this on anyone.

6:54 am

Uneaixoise

6:54 am

sukee

I am sleeping through the night more or less. I was actually dreaming that I was in pain last night :)

6:54 am

Uneaixoise

aaawwww :-(

6:56 am

sukee

It's funny every time I tell someone I have shingles they know people who have had it, it is very common among people over 50 it seems.

6:56 am

sukee

I heard 1 in 3 will get it.

6:56 am

sukee

Then again, my cousin's daughter who is in her early 20s got it too.

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

i think you're right -- i hear about it from quite a few folks who either have had it or know people who have :-(

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

wow. . . early 20s . . . good grief

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

95 found and taking a break -- BBL :-)

11:36 am

welki

11:36 am

TraderKate

yes! It is not very helpful at all...this has beeen going on for awhile. at wit's end.worse still. I am quite groggy ehen i do rise, so even more of the day lost.

11:36 am

11:36 am

hego

Hi Judi!

11:39 am

TraderKate

if this is more mental-pause crap; I've had enough thank you! Glad to know I'm not alone though. I always used to be a good sound 9 hour a night girl... now phthwt!

11:40 am

welki

thanks, pen :)

11:40 am

TraderKate

happy birthday hego! I can't seem to get into fb atm..?

11:40 am

hego

You will return to normal eventually Kate.

11:40 am

hurshy

you are definitely not alone, kate

11:40 am

hego

Hope it's soon.

11:40 am

Judi

Uhg. How awful, Kate. *plays REM's "Day Sleeper" for Kate*

11:41 am

hego

Thank you Kate.

11:41 am

TraderKate

HI welki (long time no see!) and judi :)

11:41 am

therealblah

i've watched more crappy tv in the wee hours recently...

11:41 am

TraderKate

lol ty judi :)

11:41 am

hurshy

i take a med called rozerem, which stimulates your brain to produce melatonin. unlike a lot of drugs, this one is fine liver-wise and so should be totally safe for long term use.

11:41 am

crosshair

Wish I had some words of encouragement for you, Kate. these days, I go to sleep at midnight and awaken at 04:30 (A.K.A bladder o'clock) and i am done for the night. :(

11:42 am

bichon

I didn't realize that there was whole club of us here

11:42 am

hego

Yes, the bladder thing is a pain too.

11:42 am

therealblah

you must be exhausted crossy

11:42 am

TraderKate

that's no good crossy.. is it enough for you? we're supposed to need less as we age, but that's ridiculous

11:42 am

Judi

Welcome to the disfunctional channel. Where's Dr. Phil?

11:43 am

bichon

I take trazodone which works very well

11:43 am

welki

everyone googling rozerem?

11:43 am

hego

Crossy isn't old.

11:43 am

hurshy

don't just put up with it - the more people who go to doctors for solutions, the more people will LOOK for new and better solutions!!

11:43 am

crosshair

Dr. phil was too dysfunctional to attend today...

11:43 am

hego

lol Welki

11:43 am

therealblah

i was just about to, lol.

11:43 am

penquis

i am done.... :oD

11:44 am

TraderKate

doc refuses to give me anything.. they could all be addicitive dontcha know.. but having my life totally ruined is apparently okay.. grrrr.

11:44 am

bichon

Trazodone is definitely not addictive

11:44 am

crosshair

perhaps two or 3 mulled whiskies before bed... :)

11:44 am

hurshy

find a better doc. it was a psychiatrist who told me about and prescribed rozerem for me

11:44 am

Judi

Have you tried any herbal stuff, Kate? Like Melatonin or anything?

11:44 am

welki

hurshy may have your answer, if it's available in canada - website says rozerem is not habit forming

11:45 am

bichon

If your family doc refuses to give it to you, a specialist might

11:45 am

welki

and then there's bich's trazodone, too - could be we don't have them here

11:45 am

bichon

It's a common generic

11:45 am

Judi

Trazadone... sounds like Twilight Zone.

11:46 am

welki

rozerem = ramelteon in canada

11:46 am

hego

:)

11:46 am

bichon

I call it Drowsy Drone

11:46 am

periwinkle

hi all

11:46 am

hego

Hi POeri

11:46 am

hego

Peri

11:46 am

welki

and trazodone is the same up here - make a stand for sleep! :)

11:46 am

periwinkle

never heard of those two drugs. will have to look them up. I have had trouble sleeping too. but not lately thank goodness

11:47 am

welki

hey peri

11:47 am

bichon

hi peri, you have trouble sleeping?

11:47 am

periwinkle

yep

11:47 am

TraderKate

writing that down.. had to remember hurshy is really US not UK.. so drug may be the same
Rozerem (US = Ramelteon (Can)

11:49 am

hurshy

yes yes sorry for being difficult :)

11:49 am

periwinkle

I take lorazapam, as neede. generic form of Ativan.

11:49 am

periwinkle

as needed

11:49 am

TraderKate

np hurshy, if I wasn't still so drowsy it would have come right away.

11:49 am

periwinkle

tough grid for me

11:49 am

hego

xanax here

11:50 am

hurshy

i did not find just OTC melatonin helpful, but the theory with rozerem is, if the melatonin taken orally is not crossing the blood-brain barrier, take the rozerem to stimulate your own melatonin production

11:50 am

periwinkle

the only prescription drug I take, so I am pretty lucky

11:50 am

hurshy

if i still have trouble in the middle of the night i take 1-2 benadryls

11:50 am

TraderKate

I wish I had xanax.. only htin that ever worked for me nad did't stay in my system twice as long as stated...

11:50 am

hego

interesting Hursh

11:51 am

TraderKate

have tried antihistamines, gravoll, melatonin, cheese, turkey/chicken and booze.. none seem to help

11:51 am

periwinkle

tough grid for me

11:51 am

hego

Benadryl is excellent. A very benign drug.

11:51 am

hurshy

i didn't have any troubles requiring benadryl until i went on a certain migraine prevention med, which seems to interfere some with the rozerem, even though it is not supposed to

11:51 am

periwinkle

benedryl does not make me drowsy

11:52 am

hurshy

there isn't enough triptophan in the amt of turkey or chicken one eats to actually make you drowsy - people just feel drowsy on thanksgiving because they are so full

11:52 am

TraderKate

actifed use t5o make me sleepy, but it doesn't do the trick either.. have even tried some of that newer niquil for sleeplessness.. no luck

11:52 am

therealblah

benadryl + large glass of red wine = zzzzzz for me :)

11:53 am

hego

there you go!

11:53 am

therealblah

i think the new nyquil is basically benadryl

11:54 am

hego

It's in there for sure.

11:54 am

hego

That's the PM part.

11:54 am

TraderKate

I have had large glass of red wine every day that I can afford it...it may make me sleepy, but I wake up and right back to square one...plus I enjoy my wine sipping during evening babble.. would hate to demote it to meds and take away my one little pleasure.

11:55 am

hego

You can't give everything up.

11:55 am

periwinkle

alcohol does that to me too, kate. If I want a G&T I have it at lunchtime

11:56 am

periwinkle

and only once a week

11:57 am

TraderKate

If I had wine at lunch, adios ambition for the rest of the day...must be some Latin blood in me... lol

11:57 am

Judi

Xanax works for me. Only I have trouble falling asleep. ( The voices in my head, ya know).

11:59 am

gemini_J13

all this talk about sleep ~ I am going to have to go lay down and take a nap!!!

11:59 am

TraderKate

I found the xanax does help shut down the "rapid-fire" thoughts... but doc won't give me anything at all.. no -lams, no -pams... no nothing

11:59 am

hego

I'd get a new doctor.

11:59 am

TraderKate

lol, hi geminin :)

11:59 am

therealblah

ugh find a new dr. my GP is a big fan of better living thru chemicals, lol

12:00 pm

gemini_J13

hi Kate,,, I know it is not a laughing matter!!

12:00 pm

hego

gemini lol

12:00 pm

Judi

Have you been tested for sleep apnea, Kate?

12:00 pm

hego

Kate your gyn man might help.

12:01 pm

TraderKate

doctors are hard to come by... and they have very strict new guidelines form health canada.. getting anything is like pulling teeth... couldn't even get a few tylenol #3 when I had 2 teeth pulled... though I could buy the #1's over the counter.. it just would have saved me an out of pocket expense I could ill-afford.

12:01 pm

Judi

Maybe she has a gyn gal?

12:01 pm

hego

that too

12:03 pm

TraderKate

no sleeep apnea judi....don't have separate gyn person now the RPN does paps etc. I am in a groupd clininc.. doctors, visiting shrink, counsellors, nurses, diabetic nyurses etc all work in concert... sounds good in practice, but I don't think I like it so much in action...

12:04 pm

hego

it does sound good.

12:04 pm

penquis

there are doctors who specialize in sleep.....i went to a sleep clinic here once with a referral from my PCP....

12:05 pm

TraderKate

I have never been a big fan of "drug pushers" as gp's.. but now need it and can't get it. If I change doctors, I would more than likely be labelled a "drug seeker". At least I have a 5 year trach record with this community health centre

12:06 pm

TraderKate

have done 3 sleep clinics, though none within last 6 years.... they obnly found thst I wasn't getting to level 2 sleep for long, if at all... hence the tiredness.. not enough REM.

12:07 pm

Judi

What say we put Kate in the hot tub and give her a little lectro shock therapy?

12:07 pm

hego

Later. Off to lunch.

12:08 pm

gemini_J13

hot tub will work

12:08 pm

TraderKate

pen... I am in a small town, surrounded by small cities.. not much available here for specialties.

12:09 pm

TraderKate

lol judi.. I would not be averse.. they are dragging it up from the depths of time to help treat soem disorders again.. I belive morbid depression is one one them...

12:10 pm

TraderKate

anyway.. thanks for letting me whine a bit.. I feel better now. I so thank you all for your concern. Nice to know there really are people out there who care and understand.

12:10 pm

Judi

Well, now I feel guilty for the hot tub remark.

12:11 pm

TraderKate

lol, not needed judi.. a glass of something boozy and give me a few light zaps may be just hwhat I need :D

12:11 pm

crosshair

I cannot tell you how many times I have sat up at some ungodly hour of the morning babbling with our Aussie friends :)

12:12 pm

Judi

Maybe you could sign up for a clinical experiment and actually get paid to be a guinea pig.

12:12 pm

TraderKate

I love a good bit of tongue-in-cheek humour..

12:12 pm

Judi

Pay me to take drugs. Now there's a career I can live with.

12:12 pm

TraderKate

I see you htere Crossy... was lurking this morning, jsut not chatting

12:13 pm

crosshair

:)

12:13 pm

TraderKate

6:06 pm

ChampFit

It's kind of a mash. If you're a soldier and can't be found, you're m**, then if you make a pounting face, it's a m***, (don't use the M.) Add the letter to make it past tense. I'm sure that's clear as mud, but I tried...!

6:07 pm

10:47 pm

mkg

10:51 pm

hurshy
