Nice one, hurshy :)

12:50 am

cybernan

only one gn?

12:50 am

hurshy

2 gn

12:50 am

hurshy

one noun one adj

12:50 am

Lizlin

No 2 - change the ending

12:50 am

cybernan

ty - the adjective is a new one for me

12:51 am

hurshy

i love people who know how to make adjectives

12:53 am

hurshy

i know that there are other insomnia sufferers in babbleland - if any are here now, tell me this: do you sometimes have even more trouble sleeping after a really FABULOUS day?

12:54 am

cybernan

cure for insomnia = one glass of sherry 1/2 hour before bedtime :-)

12:54 am

hurshy

i'm a teetotaller, but i have a combo of prescription and non-prescription pillllls

12:55 am

cybernan

sherry is better for you than a bunch of chemicals

12:56 am

hurshy

but alcohol is so ICKY

12:56 am

cybernan

I see our raunchy lady is back in the grid

12:57 am

hurshy

when i was in 4th grade they were doing that program where they tried to get kids more fluoride by going around in public schools and have everybody have a fluoride swish for 1 minute (which contained alcohol). i could NOT do it, i had to get my mom to sign a thing to exempt me.

12:58 am

hurshy

the dentist, i could tell him i can't handle the swish and he could give me the trays with the goo instead

12:58 am

cybernan

oh well - try chalomile tea then -- if you can stand the taste of that

12:59 am

hurshy

i actually kinda miss the trays with the goo, but apparently once you're an adult it doesn't do any good

12:59 am

hurshy

i DO love tea, and i have Sleepytime Extra with Valerian in it

12:59 am

cybernan

I have a flouride treatment every 6 months

1:00 am

hurshy

really? at mine they just do the scraping/cleaning/flossing, sometimes xrays

1:01 am

cybernan

we had flouridated water in our city water system when I was young -- didn't have any cavities until I moved to VAncouver as an adult -- no flouride in the water there!

1:01 am

hurshy

maybe i'll ask my dentist if i can have the goo next time i go, lol

1:01 am

cybernan

yes all that as well -- xray and oral cancer scan 1x per year

1:01 am

cybernan

*unless they are watching something

1:02 am

hurshy

you canadians get all the health bells and whistles ;)

1:03 am

cybernan

we pay for it though -- dental is covered by our private medical plan, not medicare

1:03 am

hurshy

ah

1:03 am

hurshy

such a bizarre holdover

1:04 am

hurshy

dental being separate i mean

1:04 am

cybernan

in some provinces, like quebec, dental is partially covered for kids under 18

1:05 am

hurshy

few years back i read about a case of a poor family whose kid had a cavity that went untreated bc they couldn't get dental care, cavity grows, kid gets an infection, it spreads to his brain, kid dies. dental care is health care!!!!

1:06 am

cybernan

the ones that suffer are families whose income is just above the poverty line -- below the line get everything covered for free, including orthodontics

1:09 am

cybernan

I would rather see money spent on free orthodontics for kids (really is preventative health care) than on supporting a bunch of idiots that didn't have the gumption to say no to drugs

1:15 am

cybernan

not seeing anything more tonight -- a demain

1:16 am

flosey

fw and off to bed, good night all

1:16 am

loredana

goodnight Flosey sweet dreams

2:48 am

grannyrose

HEY WORZEL!!! SON !!! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! and also to the beautiful diane. xoxox

2:53 am

ivesy3

my son is and addict cybernan and i take great offense at your statement.. you have a right to your opinion .but my son is not an idiot

2:55 am

grannyrose

whoa. ivesy.,... nan attacked you? ooohhhh i see. yeah i can see why you are angry. {{ivesy}}

2:56 am

ivesy3

i am not happy with his choices rose, and my heart has been broken so many times. but until one deals with a family member who is an addict ,they will never understand..

2:57 am

grannyrose

honey, i am sure nan never meant to hurt you, sweetie. it is a poor choice of words.

2:59 am

ivesy3

oh i know . just shows how we have to be careful what words we use .. hey ,i can call him an idiot, but im his mother lol

2:59 am

grannyrose

and i have dealt with addicts within my field of work. i know the heart ache felt by family members. one of our senators has a son who is an addict. and she shared her sadness with all of us in australia.

3:00 am

ivesy3

there is a group called mothers against addicts. they are teaching us not to hide it, or be ashamed

3:01 am

grannyrose

lolll... i hear you.... and i told my brother he was too fat, and his wife was gob-smacked. fortunately my siblings and i can speak frank;ly to each other...although i am currently struggling with how to tell one bro his squeeze in thailand is probably a prostitute.

3:02 am

ivesy3

omg lol.. thanks for making me laugh.. !! too funny

3:02 am

grannyrose

and neither should you ivesy. it is not a problem of how you parented. it is a problem of his decisions.

3:03 am

ivesy3

but i do feel its my fault... cant help thinking if his father was in the picture, would he be an addict.what did i do to bring this on.. i know its his choice, but i always feel like its my fault

3:03 am

grannyrose

*shrugs* my bros and i have always been able to be open and up front with each other.

3:05 am

grannyrose

IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!~ your son made his own decision. you taught him principles and values. if he rejects them as an adult that is TOTALLY his decision.

3:06 am

grannyrose

and the presence or not of his father also is not a part of his decision as an adult you gave him good values. his decision to follow them is totally his.

3:08 am

ivesy3

sigh, i know.. i was a terrible enabler, i believed all his made up stories i am trying to be stronger. sometimes i feel the stress will kill me

3:08 am

grannyrose

i have a son who has not spoken to me, texted me or emailed me for nearly 12 years. his reason ?? i forced him to attend Sunday school. he now has a daughter who is 18 months old, and i have never seen/held her.

3:10 am

grannyrose

ivesy, please accept just what you are responsible for...and just what he is responsible for.

3:10 am

ivesy3

so sorry rose!!but what a sad reason that is for him to stop contact. and silly too.i made my son go to church too..

3:11 am

ivesy3

ty rose . i will try. and i am not mad at cybernan. i think its just one of those days where i am dwelling on it.. struck me the wrong way

3:12 am

grannyrose

honey, it is his (my son's) decision. as it is also your son's decision. the bible tells us we are responsible for our children until the girls are 13 and the boys are 14.after that the decisions they make are as adults in God's eyes.

3:15 am

ivesy3

glad we got to chat rose. ty

3:15 am

grannyrose

ivesy, did i offend you with the biblical reference?

3:16 am

grannyrose

ivesy, any time. email me... i will always answer.

3:17 am

ivesy3

no! i am a believer .. no problem at all. i dont think i have your email addy rose. i lost most of my contacts sigh

3:17 am

grannyrose

ivesy, dearest, in my profile

3:18 am

ivesy3

ok.. thanks..

3:19 am

ivesy3
