2:48 am

grannyrose

ahhh, varicose veins pugs??

2:48 am

meliae

Did you see Granny, here in the U.S anyway they have finally decided Fibromyalgia is a real disease which will finally open the door for more studies and help from insurance in dealing with it.

2:48 am

puglet

2:49 am

grannyrose

puglet

I will, Rose

2:52 am

Marc Freeman

2:53 am

meliae

I am really thinking about signing up for some trials on this oil they get from marijuana, only catch is if I do then I lose my pain medication. I cannot use medical marijuana or my insurance wont pay for my meds, even though it is legal here in Oregon.

2:53 am

grannyrose

mel, workcover insurers are so behind the times. they will not accept that the pain from the super-sensitive nerve is what is triggering my episodes of pain/cramps/spasms.

2:53 am

meliae

Ce 5/12

2:53 am

grannyrose

2:55 am

grannyrose

2:56 am

puglet

Rose, I got a co-worker with that and she has so much pain in her hips and legs

2:57 am

puglet

she is not very old either

2:57 am

meliae

Pain meds kill your liver and kidneys and marijuana has no side effects it just does not make sense to me at all.

2:58 am

meliae

Fibromyalgia is a horrible disease I hate it

2:58 am

Kamanjah

Mel -I'm in Calif - my doc back MM - why won't your insurance cover pain meds if you use MM?

2:58 am

meliae

I hate it worse than all my skin junk

2:58 am

Kamanjah

No make sense!!!!

2:59 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake. i was told over 10 years ago it would not effect my quality of life. HELLO !!!

2:59 am

Kamanjah

doc backs....MM

2:59 am

meliae

I have federal insurance due to being disabled I think is why.

3:00 am

grannyrose

hey ya, kam. nice to see you honey.

3:00 am

Kamanjah

Me too - you mean Medicare?

3:00 am

Kamanjah

Hi Rose! Hope you're doing ok - I can't type worth poo tonite, lol

meliae

3:01 am

grannyrose

np's kam. still nice to see you sweetie.

3:01 am

Kamanjah

Is that some silly thing they put in the OR law? I get pain meds in CA and can get my MM card if needed

3:01 am

Kamanjah

Good to see you too, Rose, I don't usually get on this late

3:02 am

meliae

Its a dumb law having to do with opiates they actually do urine checks to be sure you are using them properly and not over medicating

3:02 am

Marc Freeman

ri6, please?

3:03 am

meliae

Bumpy Marc or a top of a hill

3:03 am

meliae

Its a past tense

3:04 am

Kamanjah

Mel, you have to be kidding me!!! No one has ever asked me or checked me. I guess I must really love my doc a lot after hearing that - have never ever been hassled

3:04 am

meliae

Its an Oregon law they passed not long ago dumbest thing EVER!

3:06 am

Kamanjah

SMH!!! I thought CA was weird about stuff like that. OR, I thought, was totally liberal about MM and meds

3:06 am

meliae

And I only take hydrocodone, its not like I am on oxycodon or anything stronger.

3:07 am

Kamanjah

Sorry to hear you have a hassle, guess I'm very lucky in the pain mgmt dept, have been doing quite well with docs help

3:08 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

3:08 am

meliae

It was brought about to cut down on people getting addicted to pain medications, but some strange rider bills came with it.

3:09 am

meliae

You're welcome Marc

3:10 am

meliae

Well I am going to talk to my Doctor about it some more. Last time we talked it was not fully legal, so things may have changed I am not sure.

3:10 am

Kamanjah

I can't believe the riders the gov't manages to get tacked onto bills, totally unrelated to the bill...at least the Feds finally got MM legalized in the budget bill...like MM and the budget have anything to do with the other...

3:12 am

meliae

Only in America do you need to study for 4 weeks before you vote, as often no means yes, and vice versus

3:15 am

Kamanjah

Crazy, isn't it? Last year in CA everyone voted for a proposition that lets theives out if the theft is under $xx ($950 I think) - it was advertised as saving the schools and people fell for it, now the thieves get a pass - like a Monopoly game, for goodness sakes!

3:17 am

Kamanjah

Good to see you again, Rose, and to meet you, Mel. I have to get to sleep! I'll have to find my 8's in the AM when I'm awake!
Hagn everyone!

3:17 am

meliae

Our DA in douglas county dropped all marijuana charges and told everyone who had only marijuana charges to not bother even coming to court, and this was before the actual date it went legal

rubyfoo

Good morning

4:40 am

meliae

:)

4:41 am

grannyrose

hey ya ruby. {{hugs}}

4:41 am

rubyfoo

I had no idea what time it was

4:42 am

rubyfoo

My closest friend/neighbor's son (37 yrs) died at home yesterday. Terribly sad but merciful because he and his mother were truly suffering

4:44 am

rubyfoo

I am trying hard to navigate local customs

4:45 am

sprite

ughhhh thank God terra is back. Of all the days to disappear right today... evil little monster.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

((sprite)) I know that dreadful feeling

4:47 am

rubyfoo

having had dogs who run off.....

4:47 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* Well, thank God he is safely home now. No more walking unleashed today for mr I-don't-hear-you'-calling!

4:49 am

rubyfoo

I could never let Rufe walk off leash. He would eventually coms back, I think, but it's too dangerous out there and he doesn't know about cars

4:50 am

sprite

terra is usually so very well mannered, always stays close and pays attention when you tell him to wait or go to the side of the road. No idea what got into him. Maybe something startled him, although Caya had no idea what it might have been then.

4:50 am

sprite

ah well, all is well etc etc. How are you doing, ruby?

4:51 am

rubyfoo

bad day yesterday -- saw Buer and he had Fallen on Mon and Tues but I didn't let them take him to the emergency room

4:52 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday I signed all the DNR Ã apers and the staff agreed with me

4:52 am

sprite

ah poor burt. He cannot sit in an ER waiting for them to come around helping him, I think?

4:53 am

rubyfoo

There is nothing to be done for him and going to the hospital (4 times since August) is terrible for him

4:54 am

sprite

I am glad they agreed. It is hard enough with him in a moderately familiar place.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

They take him auickly when he comes directly from the nursing home, but putting stitches in his fragile skin doesn't help much and just hurts him

4:55 am

grannyrose

xoxox sprite. so happy to see terra is okay.

4:55 am

sprite

aw poor man! He is lucky to have you run interference for him

4:55 am

rubyfoo

He has an awful black eye and cuts and bruises on his face

4:56 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, I can't be there more often

4:56 am

rubyfoo

((rosie!!))

4:56 am

sprite

me too, rose. It was quite a scare. A rotten morning all in all... horrible dreams, waking up hurting all over and then terra gone and we searching all through the neighbourhood. Some mornings are just not worth getting up for, lolol

4:57 am

sprite

ruby, you really have to take care of yourself too. You are doing what you can, for him and for you, in a less than perfect situation.

4:58 am

grannyrose

ruby, do they not have 'steristrips' over there? they are adhesive. once applied, cover them with vaseline gauze, normal gauze, and a water-proof dressing. leave untouched for at least three days then soak off in the shower.

4:59 am

rubyfoo

when autistic Max(my avatar) disappeared, I spent several dayswalkuing around the village, putting up signs, only to discover, after a week or so, that he had drowned in our fishpond

5:00 am

sprite

I remember that. And especially how Burt was not to find out about that. You did well, in that, sweetie.

5:02 am

rubyfoo

rose, the problem is that he tears off the bandages but that is what I suggested to the nurse who called me

5:02 am

rubyfoo

rose, the problem is that he tears off the bandages but that is what I suggested to the nurse who called me

5:02 am

grannyrose

RUBYFOO!!! remember STERISTRIPS !!!

5:03 am

grannyrose

wrap his hands in bandages...no way he can tear off dressings.

5:03 am

sprite

*giggles* Calm down, rose my darling, calm down... :) Just the hiccup.

5:04 am

rubyfoo

I know, Rosie, and I was fgood at patching him up at home, but now, at least, I have better control of the situation

5:04 am

rubyfoo

French people tend to run to the e,ergency room with the slightest problems, mainly because it's free for them

5:05 am

grannyrose

no !!! i won't calm down in the face of incompetency... but you know that...

5:05 am

sprite

ok I made it over halfway, but it is not easy in coming today. some days I run out of steam. Today I am not getting any steam going, lol.

5:06 am

sprite

immigrants tend to do the same thing here, ruby. Each bump or cut is reason to go to the ER.

5:06 am

grannyrose

nearly 2 hours to midnight...and i am dragging my a**e.

5:06 am

sprite

lol, quite the image, rose :D

How are you?

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Have you not been working?

5:58 am

Nope, I took a break from writing over the holidays.

5:58 am

Scrabbler

I am also waiting for you to see the cardiologist.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

I am eager for snow, so I can snowshoe and cross-country ski. We have missed out on 2-4 weeks of snow this winter.

5:59 am

sukee

We had snow but it's disappearing again.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Oh, your writing.

6:00 am

sukee

I will be getting caught up today and over the weekend.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

The 4 local ski resorts are being economically crushed.

6:00 am

sukee

Here too.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

A storm will hit overnight so this may start things off for the ski resorts.

6:02 am

sukee

We will probably get some of that storm, although here lately we have been just missing the worst of the weather.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I have to get ready for work now, sukee. Enjoy your day.

6:12 am

Take care.

11:10 am

rururocks

??

11:13 am

MLFAN17

molly I used pen's clue

11:13 am

MollyL

The clue for ag4 was "think Rita Hayworth"

11:13 am

MLFAN17

no ag 5/6

11:14 am

MLFAN17

but I found both:)

11:14 am

rururocks

I don't get it.. sorry. I might not be with it today

11:14 am

rhozee

I gave the clue. It proves I am old. She was married to Agha Khan.

11:14 am

MollyL

No, ag4

11:14 am

rururocks

oh

11:15 am

rururocks

didn't they have a son named Geng S. ?

11:15 am

MLFAN17

molly rhozee just said what it is but I needed both don't know what went with what lol

11:15 am

MollyL

Ever since The Shawshank Redemption movie all I can think about when I hear "Rita Hayworth" is Morgan Freeman saying "I love that shit she does with her hair"

11:16 am

rururocks

I love that scene too molly

11:16 am

rururocks

that was such a great movie

11:17 am

MollyL

MLFan, you said you had the one that means gotten older and that you needed the other one. Rhozee said "think Rita Hayworth".

11:26 am

MLFAN17

and we didn't spend any money

11:26 am

rururocks

I like living to see another day MLF.. New Years partying and hitting the roadways is suicide here in California

11:27 am

MLFAN17

ruru you are not kidding and I also like to remember what I did the day or night before

11:27 am

helensgirlkid

We will watch Air Farce, and then muddle around until midnight - then go outside and burn sparklers.

11:28 am

MLFAN17

Helen sounds like fun!

11:30 am

helensgirlkid

We do this for our annual combined birthday party, too - usually August. It has the right energy level!

11:31 am

helensgirlkid

Fortunately this year the temp is not bad - about minus 8 Celsius. One year we had to have balaclavas on, and leather-covered down mitts to hold the sparklers!

11:32 am

MLFAN17

the same movie or a different one?

11:33 am

MLFAN17

sometimes here for the 4th of july its rains on that day

11:33 am

MollyL

Ooo, I have sparklers and I like the idea of lighting one at midnight. I think I have just added a New Years tradition to our roster.

11:33 am

helensgirlkid

Air Farce come back each year to do one show for New Year's Eve - one of the original players has died, but it has all the atmosphere of the original show. The chicken cannon is the high point - the year's worst people are targetted.

11:34 am

MLFAN17

that sounds so cool helen

11:34 am

helensgirlkid

Sparkler in the rain are sort of fun, as long as it's not a downpour!

11:34 am

MLFAN17

exactly lol

11:34 am

MollyL

I have a covered patio, rain has never stopped me from lighting sparklers.

11:35 am

helensgirlkid

I am eager to see what they shoot at Stephen Harper tonight - and will they include Trum.

11:35 am

MLFAN17

we didn't at the time

11:35 am

helensgirlkid

Trump. Sorry.

11:36 am

helensgirlkid

Usually all the nasty people are Canadian - but truly spectacular characters from other countries sometimes make the list.

11:37 am

MLFAN17

we have the different count down shows on tv up to midnight I don't watch them in their entirety as some of the performers just don't do it for me

11:38 am

helensgirlkid

A covered patio would be good. I always think, well, we could stand on the balcony - but we'd have to throw the sticks downonto the sidewalk, and then go get them!

11:38 am

MLFAN17

I miss seeing Dick Clark on New Year's Eve

11:39 am

MLFAN17

Helen that doesn't seem worth it to me.. Is it?

11:39 am

helensgirlkid

Me, too - Dick Clark in Times Square - when it still looked like Times Square!

11:39 am

MLFAN17

lol ye

11:39 am

MLFAN17

yes

11:39 am

MLFAN17

Ryan Seacrest just isn't him lol

11:39 am

helensgirlkid

Picking up the sticks - oh, yes, they have to go into the bin.

11:40 am

helensgirlkid

Firewords!

11:40 am

MLFAN17

Helen yes a must but is that in hopes you don't hit grass or something else as they go down?

11:41 am

MLFAN17

Congrats Helen I am stalled with 53 left

11:41 am

helensgirlkid

See you tomorrow. Happy New Year all. -

11:41 am

MLFAN17

bye helen

11:41 am

Another name for cigarettes.

2:42 pm

Common "babblet"? Isn't that an oxymoron?

2:42 pm

Sunrise

Fun and rides at the F4/7

2:43 pm

MLFAN17

sunrise I have that one

2:43 pm

MLFAN17

zooz is that a plural?

zoozzoom

Well it is a slang word used here.

2:43 pm

zoozzoom

Yes, Mlf.

2:43 pm

MLFAN17

if it refers to gay people I have it

2:44 pm

MollyL

Zoom has it, although we don't use that term here in these United States. Crones are sometimes referred to as ha4...make it an F word

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

Then you have the first one.

2:45 pm

zoozzoom

And for the nasty word towards gay people here is called faggot.

2:45 pm

MLFAN17

zooz that word too

2:45 pm

Sunrise

See Zoozzoom's clue.You carry *ags just change the first letter.

2:46 pm

The first fa4/7 is the clue Sunrise gave. Since you already have that, not sure what you are asking for.

2:46 pm

MLFAN17

nvm

2:46 pm

zoozzoom

Oh I do apologise I was cluing the FA 4/9.

4:12 pm

Dorens

been enjoying your photos on facebook Ata. I really think I'm going to take a break from that because it seems to be such a huge time waster for me, but some of the pics are just so lovely.

4:12 pm

Atalante

it really is a huge waste of time, but so many people put such inspiring photos up

4:12 pm

Dorens

well ru, I just read about some AAA thing where they will actually come drive you AND tow your car home tonight if you need. Might need to give it a try. except my car needs flatbedding, not towing.

4:13 pm

I'm staying home with a bottle of bubbly and all sorts of assorted goodies

4:14 pm

rururocks

I have a great bottle of Champagne to enjoy

4:14 pm

rururocks

hey doren guess what

4:14 pm

Dorens

4:14 pm

Atalante

4:15 pm

rururocks

I got a gift card from Angele for Xmas for a dinner for two on the house

4:15 pm

Dorens

David just texted me he wants my mac and cheese recipe.
and I bet it is a great bottle. might even be good enough that we can ignore the beiberdom.

4:16 pm

rururocks

it is a great bottle.. I'm stoked that I got some..

4:16 pm

rururocks

oh ata..

4:16 pm

rururocks

I bought a Highland Park Scotch and I really like it

4:16 pm

rururocks

it is a little peaty but not too much

4:17 pm

rururocks

it's called Higland Park "Dark Matters" .. it's really excellent

4:17 pm

Atalante

highland park is gorgeous :) oh! I haven't tried Dark Matters

4:17 pm

rururocks

thanks for that recommendation

4:18 pm

rururocks

aged in used sherry barrels

4:18 pm

Atalante

glad you like!!

4:18 pm

Dorens

My kids all like good scotches. I am immune to its charms.

4:18 pm

rururocks

it's delicious and complex

4:18 pm

Atalante

and smells amazing, I bet/ All HP smells amazing

4:18 pm

Dorens

nice -- Angele.. wish I could say I'm coming out soon and you could save it for then.

4:19 pm

rururocks

I'm trying to find a bottle of Loki .. but it is hard to come by

4:19 pm

Atalante

I don't really either, Dorens. I love the smell, but this Highland Park is about the only whisky I actually like to drink

4:19 pm

MollyL

*Wonders who the "assorted goodies" are

4:19 pm

rururocks

I hope you do come out.. this spring or summer

4:19 pm

rururocks

4:19 pm

rururocks

4:20 pm

rururocks

Candi and Samantha :D

4:20 pm

Dorens

well, if David doesn't come to MV this summer, then I think I'll just have to come to CA sometime for sure.

4:20 pm

Atalante

it's *very* hard to come on. Any of their really limited editions are - they made Thor, Loki and Freya, one for each of the last few years

4:21 pm

Dorens

Candi Kane?

4:23 pm

rururocks

I went to school with a name kind of like that

4:23 pm

Dorens

I went to school with a Laura Hursh whose middle name was candy. candy -- hershey bar -- ??

4:24 pm

Atalante

Candy Crush?

4:24 pm

rururocks

I went to school with Crystal Lear.. her middle name was Shanda

4:24 pm

rururocks

her parents were hippies

4:25 pm

Atalante

I guess they were!

4:25 pm

Dorens

hippies? that's no excuse!

4:25 pm

rururocks

that's what I thought Doren

4:26 pm

ch1212

I swear this is true: I went to school with a Bambi Beaver. I felt so sorry for her.

4:26 pm

Atalante

omg

4:26 pm

rururocks

lol

4:26 pm

rururocks

CH1212 Wins!!!!!!!!!

4:27 pm

Dorens

absolutely!

4:27 pm

ch1212

We did become friends, and I learned she was in therapy when she was 15 (no surprise).

4:28 pm

rururocks

I bet you couldn't have her hold stuff for you CH

4:28 pm

rururocks

Bambi Beaver sounds like a porno name

4:29 pm

ch1212

Exactly! I still don't know what her mother was thinking.

4:30 pm

rururocks

I guess the boys all liked coming over for dinner

4:31 pm

ch1212

She was 'popular' with the boys, and that was part of the reason her mom put her in therapy. Frankly, I don't think she had a chance with that name.

4:32 pm

rururocks

<---laughs at his own sick joke.

4:33 pm

ch1212

ruru, you are skating close to being sent to the naughty box.

4:34 pm

MollyL

There is a naughty box?

4:35 pm

ch1212

Well, I started to say 'penalty box' but 'naughty box' sounded more apropo... ;)

4:38 pm

Atalante

rurur's booboo box?

4:38 pm

ch1212

Anyway, I didn't mean to silence the chat (and in fact am feeling kind of guilty for talking about my poor friend)...

4:38 pm

Dorens

sounds good Ata, he deserves his own box!

4:39 pm

Dorens

no problem ch - and we'll never tell her

4:40 pm

ch1212

Thanks, Dorens ... { hug }

4:44 pm

MollyL

Ru...you deserve your own box...maybe 2016 is going to be YOUR YEAR after all...*laughing*

4:46 pm

rururocks

Of course I deserve my own box

4:46 pm

rururocks

I like the sound of Naughty box too

4:47 pm

rururocks

just sayin'

4:48 pm

origami

What have I stumbled into here? ;-0

4:48 pm

Atalante

I think rurur's naughty box would really be ruru's inappropriate box

4:48 pm

rururocks

well.. there's always that too ata

4:51 pm

rururocks

*tosses holy water in the chat*

4:51 pm
