Just trying to keep warm. Have the flowers covered and the dogs really don't want to go outside.
1:36 am
grannyrose

awww poor dogs.
1:36 am
grannyrose

and mel... lollll me too
1:37 am
meliae

Doing well got some new ointment for the NP suppose to help with itching, I don't think it is helping at all.
1:38 am
grannyrose

ugh mel. at least it isn't too hot for you. i hate having to put ointment on when it's too warm. i feel gluggy all over.
1:39 am
meliae

This junk is greasy I hate it but they said it will help so I need to give it a good try. Personally I think coconut oil works just as well.
1:43 am

meliae

Ok I have oranges and Dark chocolate anyone want some?
1:55 am
meliae

To plural face blemishes always seems wrong to me, if you have several pimples you don't say I have ac5/12 lol
2:17 am
TheByzantine

then, why not have deaden as a synonym for murder?
2:23 am
dcseain

deaden is an adjective meaning muffle or stifle. We could verbize it, but the connotation would be very different than murder.
2:25 am
rubyfoo

good morning
2:25 am
TheByzantine

You take my chat out of context
2:25 am
TheByzantine

Hello, Ruby
2:29 am
rubyfoo

does that make your comments existential?
2:31 am
TheByzantine

No, but it was not intended to be taken seriously.
2:32 am
rubyfoo

I've never understood "existential threats" although the term is bandied about by low-brow newscasters
2:33 am
meliae

55 to go and listing I think must be lots of scientific latin archaic British spelings in the grid lol
2:34 am
rubyfoo

hello mel
2:34 am
meliae

Hello Ruby ((hugs))
2:35 am

existential threats refer to existence ... concerns about survival.

I think Spring will come
3:06 am

58 days and 20 some hours until the calendar notes the arrival of spring
3:08 am
grannyrose

how strange theb...it's that long until our autumn... loll
3:09 am
rubyfoo

Spring is my favorite time here. When I lived in upstate NY, it snowed until May, Spring seemed to lat 3 days, and summer was muggy and grey
3:09 am
rubyfoo

((rosie!!))
3:09 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling. how are you holding up?
3:10 am
rubyfoo

Here, Spring last for 3 or 4 months, and the garden is magnifique!
3:11 am
rubyfoo

I'm doing fine, Rosie. Maybe I'll "crash" later, but I think this whole thing lasted so long that my sadness was prolonged annd now I feel relieved as much as anything
3:12 am
rubyfoo

No tears left
3:12 am
rubyfoo

whoops, sorry for te***
3:13 am
grannyrose

i understand my darling. you have already done your grieving.
3:20 am
sandyloo

sending love to you both
3:22 am
rubyfoo

((sandy)) I'm glad we're back in touch; I'll wr*** a proper letter soon but, for the mo, I'm not doing much
3:22 am
rubyfoo

It's funny that it is so hot there and so bitterly cold here
3:23 am
sandyloo

I hope you are warm Ruby and I hope you are feeling well Rose
3:24 am
sandyloo

Its not hot here at the moment we have had unseasonable rain 100mm overnight and the next night 70 mm It filled our water tank up a huge amount
3:24 am
rubyfoo

I'm huddled in front of the fire with freezing hands but at least it's a little bit warmer than yesterday
3:24 am
sandyloo

I thought everyone in Europe had central heating
3:25 am
rubyfoo

so the fire danger has passed? Is there a danger of flooding with all that rain?
3:25 am
rubyfoo

not in this house!
3:25 am
sandyloo

My daughter and her husband and the baby have been in England for the last 6 weeks and it is snowing there,
3:26 am
rubyfoo

And I never thought to ask when we bought it as in the US, it's taken for granted.
3:26 am
sandyloo

No flooding here and the rain has put the huge fire out
3:26 am
sandyloo

Is it snowing there?
3:26 am
rubyfoo

I have a radiator in my bathroom but the house is too big to heat with radiators here and there
3:27 am
sandyloo

It was so hot before the fire - Perth had 45 degrees celcius-Margaret river is never that hot
3:28 am
sandyloo

What about your bedroom -is that heated?
3:28 am
rubyfoo

There has finally been snow in the nearby mountains, but not much here, 1'000 feet lower
3:29 am
rubyfoo

I'm happy without snow, although it's pretty, it just makes life harder
3:29 am
sandyloo

I guess I will never know that sort of hardship - no snow here
3:30 am
grannyrose

g'day sandy. doing reasonably well thanx dear.and how are you faring??
3:31 am
sandyloo

The weather here is really great , a bit like winter so I love it and I am faring very well thankyou
3:31 am
rubyfoo

I used to love it when I was still skiing, but the danger of being run over by a n out-of-control snowboarder made it too scary;
3:31 am
TheByzantine

for many years we had winter, flooding and road construction as the seasons
3:31 am
rubyfoo

even though I always skied with a (big) guide for protection
3:32 am
sandyloo

a hansome one I bet
3:32 am
rubyfoo

that sounds like Binghamton, Byz
3:32 am
rubyfoo

you betcha
3:32 am
sandyloo

I read your profile byz and it is very funny
3:34 am
rubyfoo

It would be funny if it wasn't true!
3:35 am
sandyloo

My husband has been fixated on the presidental debates, They are also very amusing this year
3:37 am
sandyloo

Ihope you have had some company today Ruby
3:37 am
rubyfoo

Trump is scary but I've liked Hillaary for a long time, even though she's an oild pol.
3:38 am
sandyloo

I also like Hilary but I wonder if anyone takes Trump seriously
3:38 am
rubyfoo

My Scottish friends are takingme out to luch, the housekeeper just left and, once I warm up, I'll try to accomplish something.
3:39 am
rubyfoo

This afternoon, a friend is coming for tea and the nurse is coming to give me a bone shot
3:39 am
sandyloo

That is nice, I am glad that you have friends to support you
3:40 am
rubyfoo

I love this place!
3:40 am
sandyloo

I guess you are speaking fluent french by now
3:42 am
rubyfoo

American accent, but fluent, and they all understand me. The only thing I don't "get" is Fr humor.
3:43 am
sandyloo

Well I guess its all a cultural thing- our american relatives don't get our humour all the time either
3:44 am
sandyloo

What time is it there, its 5.44pm here
3:44 am
sandyloo

Acutally its 'wine o'clock'
3:50 am
sandyloo

And being that time I am off for a glass with my dinner - so bye to all and love to you Ruby and to you Rose
3:52 am
rubyfoo

salut! for wine o'clock
3:55 am

Good morning
6:25 am
Scrabbler

Hi Car. How are you? How has your back been doing?
6:25 am
car.eeyore

Hello...awful.
6:26 am
Scrabbler

Nooo! Time for injections again?
6:27 am
car.eeyore

Honestly, I don't think they are working. I'm supposed to go back for one more...targeted on my "hot spot", but I'm hesitant to go.
6:27 am
car.eeyore

If I think back over the course, the most I have gotten for relief is a couple of weeks.
6:27 am
Scrabbler

Is it all in your SI joints?
6:27 am
car.eeyore

That is the question.
6:28 am
car.eeyore

Am I to think that maybe the injections are not being administered accurately or should I go back to the NeuroSpine doc and say this isn't working, or what?
6:29 am
Scrabbler

There can be other sources. Piriformis muscle. Other neuralgia. Yes, go back to that doc if you are suffering.
6:30 am
Scrabbler

Injecting into the SI joint is straightforward.
6:30 am
car.eeyore

Then I got minimal relief from those injections, but it did nothing for the "hot spot".
6:31 am
Scrabbler

There are muscles within the pelvis that connect to the SI joint area from within. Piriformis muscle is one of those. Synovial cyst on spine can cause pain too, but you had an MRI, right?
6:32 am
car.eeyore

Anyway, how are you?
6:32 am
car.eeyore

Been snow shoeing?
6:32 am
Scrabbler

Sorry, I must get ready for work. Please return to your doc.
6:32 am

I will. I hope you have a great day. Thank you, always, for your advice. ((hugs))

feeling a bit disappointed and discouraged, so i thought i would yell to let off steam
4:49 pm
hurshy

not sure if virtual yelling works for that
4:51 pm
therealblah

well did it?!
4:51 pm
hurshy

i think it did a little, yeah
4:52 pm
therealblah

why disappointed/discouraged?
4:54 pm
hurshy

i am an aide for a couple teachers at an elementary school. one of them is away this week. there is a sub, but today i was to do a bit of the teaching. i was looking forward to it and excited. i thought they would behave fine because they normally do, and they already know me and stuff. but they were DREADFUL.
4:55 pm
ggarrett

We call it submarining the "sub". Not unusual but alpha dog needs to step up and lay down the law. Things will usually settle.
4:56 pm
therealblah

oh that is disappointing. Why are kids (even good kids) seemingly programmed to act up with substitute teachers? It's like, free pass today
4:56 pm
ggarrett

search
4:56 pm
hurshy

they weren't even this bad with the regular sub, the two days prior! and they don't know her!
4:57 pm
therealblah

maybe knowing you, they know the buttons to push?
4:57 pm
hurshy

there weren't any particular things, just, talking constantly out of turn, saying funny things to each other and laughing, general disruptiveness
4:58 pm
MollyL

Many kids today are not polite or well behaved. Parenting skills have gone in the toilet.
4:58 pm
hurshy

the sub said that she thought i handled it beautifully and she was leaving a note for the regular teacher to that effect, and that she has heard from the other fifth grade teachers that the kids are all crazy this week cause they are putting on a show, i think tomorrow, and have been having a lot of last-minute rehearsals this week
4:58 pm
therealblah

ugh that would annoy the hell out of me, which is one good reason i'm not a teacher
4:59 pm
therealblah

well that's great feedback from the sub! And maybe it wasn't you, it is the stress of rehearsals and the show
5:01 pm
therealblah

and I bet 5th graders are far more excited about their show than math, english etc.
5:01 pm
hurshy

yeah
5:01 pm
therealblah

but blow off all the steam you need to! I'll just cover my ears next time ;)
5:01 pm
hurshy

lol
5:02 pm
Judi

Evening, all. I would pull out the cell phone and start filming. Tell them the Principal will be interested to see how they are all acting.
5:02 pm
therealblah

or even their regular teacher when s/he comes back.
5:03 pm
hurshy

yes - well, i certainly plan to tell her about it and i kinda bet she will have a serious talk with them.
5:03 pm
hurshy

unless i get a chance to deal with it tomorrow.
5:04 pm
MollyL

Oh but teachers "aren't supposed" to use their cell phones. (But they do)
5:04 pm
hurshy

it's a private school so i'm not sure we have a rule against that molly
5:04 pm
therealblah

I'm sure it depends on the school and the circumstances...
5:05 pm
Judi

But the kids wouldn't know that...
5:05 pm
MollyL

Ah, a private school. Teachers in the public schools in our area are not supposed to have their cell phones on during school hours.
5:06 pm
ggarrett

If it's a private school, have the individual students call home and have them discuss their attitude with their parents. Make it an invitation. They usually decide not to call.
5:06 pm
therealblah

really? what if there is an emergency (their kid is sick or injured e.g.)
5:06 pm
Judi

... or to record a crime in progress.
5:06 pm
fuzzybunny

I like the cell phone video idea. I have to sub for 10th grade English class tomorrow morning (I work as an Ed Tech III in the shcool, the kids know me) and the group is absolutely out of control. I would be curious if this is legal to do and whether or not it would improve behavior...
5:06 pm
hurshy

what i would like to do if i get a few mins tomorrow is just tell them, that i had really been looking forward to the class and that by the end i felt very disappointed and discouraged. and then maybe ask them to put down their heads, and anyone who knows they were part of the problem, raise your hand, and i will take that as an apology.
5:07 pm
ggarrett

Try it.
5:07 pm
Judi

No no! They can smell weakness.
5:07 pm
therealblah

fuzzy, i bet one of the little darlings would run home and tell mommy/daddy they were "filmed" without permission
5:08 pm
hurshy

the pedagogical stuff i have been studying suggests that students respond to honesty like that.
5:09 pm
fuzzybunny

I could guarantee it!
5:09 pm
therealblah

i dunno hurshy, it might work when you already know them. Kids generally don't like to disappoint adults they know and like.
5:09 pm
ggarrett

Most do. The leaders can pick up on being treated with maturity. If not, put down the consequences and let them deal with those.
5:09 pm
hurshy

yeah that is what i'm thinking blah
5:09 pm
therealblah

I suppose it could go either way. Maybe best to wait and discuss
5:09 pm
therealblah

with the regular teacher, and think about strategies
5:11 pm
hurshy

there are only 2 girls in the class, and one was out today. the other one was so annoyed by the end that she asked if she could go work on the writing assignment in the library. i would have let her but class was over anyways.
5:11 pm
fuzzybunny

Oh, but I would love to be able to show the parents how their darlings comport themselves. Unfortunately the parent's would probably say it is my fault for not taking control.
5:12 pm
hurshy

last word: wh5/22 - weird one
5:12 pm

I had a teacher who used to slam the yard stick on his desk when he wanted undivided attention. Of course, there's probably no yard sticks in sight.
5:12 pm

5:13 pm
fuzzybunny

Yup!
5:13 pm
therealblah

new one to me hurshy
5:13 pm
hurshy

oh judi, my 8th grade english teacher would do that. and also, if a kid like, fell asleep, he would lift up the front of their desk and then let it drop, that was a funny one.
5:14 pm
therealblah

oh my...
5:15 pm
Judi

My 5th grade teacher would throw chalky erasers at those who weren't paying attention. \
5:15 pm
Judi

No chalk boards now either.
5:15 pm
therealblah

oh yeah I had teachers do that. Probably no chalk or erasers any more either lol
5:16 pm
Judi

Capital punishment. Those were the good old days.
5:16 pm
therealblah

lol
5:21 pm
hurshy

yeah we have dry erase boards now
5:22 pm
Judi

No wonder teachers can't get a break. They've taken all the weapons away from them. Damn liberals!
5:23 pm
MollyL

The no cell phone use during school hours is to make sure that the students realize that THEY and THE TEACHERS are supposed to be concentrating on learning, not their cell phones. I"m sure all teachers have the school office phone number down as an emergency contact. Just like they did before the advent of cell phones.
5:24 pm
Judi

Don't most schools have intercom systems still? All the schools I went to (100 years ago) did. Phones right in the rooms.
5:26 pm
Judi

Woe to those who were summoned via intercom.
5:27 pm
MollyL

So often it seems like people have forgotten that life went on just fine before people had cell phones strapped to their hips at all times.
5:28 pm
Judi

Hard to believe. But true.
5:28 pm
hurshy

we have phones in the rooms where you can dial just 3 digits to get another phone in the system.
5:28 pm
therealblah

But now we do, and it is mighty handy. Just like having computers are handy for playing word games, altho I guess we made do with our solo games on paper before
5:28 pm
hurshy

and we do also have an intercom
5:29 pm
therealblah

Anyone have a car break down or a blown tire in the middle of the night before cell phones? Kinda sucked.
5:29 pm
Judi

Yep. Good old intercoms. Although, I still think flare guns would be a good back-up.
5:31 pm
Judi

Yeah. That used to suck, Blah. YOu had to schlep to a pay phone or a gas station to seek rescue.
5:31 pm
Judi

Or, risk your life hitch-hiking.
5:32 pm
therealblah

right, or wait in the car hoping a cop would come along

I will take the metro to work in the morning but they are shutting down shop at 3 and then I will take metro home (or four blocks short) and then will stay within my house and block for the duration. . . I just hope i don't lose power. . .

i will charge up all my batteries before hand so if the power goes out I can still babble . . . .for awhile anyway. . .

when i was in Kenya my laptop battery sustained me for quite a while one night . . .and then once in a snow storm in Indiana. . .

Aloyisius

hope so too.. will be thinking of all of you in the storm's path. fw here.. need any clues before I hit the sack? When I lived in Va., there wasn't snow removal equipment to take care of an inch much less a foot of snow.. don't think things have improved much since then because every snow is "an unusual winter" event

jmcnrick

no thanks i am bagging it for the night now too. . . i'll be fine. . . love living in the city when snow comes. . . maybe ill invite the young girls from next door to help me make cookies. . . .and give their folks a break . . .
