ramen~~

8:08 am

Bogwoggle

sorry, cat did it!

8:08 am

MollyL

Man, those cats take the blame for everything.

8:12 am

Bogwoggle

He lays all over the desk and pokes at the mouse and rolls over the keyboard. He can do stuff with the computer I don't know how to do. Like open iTunes, select and play a song and make it all disappear leaving me wondering where the music is coming from. Darn cat!

8:14 am

MollyL

And apparently he likes ramen noodles.

8:15 am

MollyL

If your credit card suddenly gets racked up with mega-charges to Amazon for Fancy Feast, you will know who the culprit is.

8:15 am

Bogwoggle

lol...I kept typing wondering where the words were going!

8:17 am

Bogwoggle

And he actually does eat fancy feast. He is watching me type and I'm sure wondering how he can mess it up. If you get some mysterious messages about being held captive and fed only cat food - that would be my boy.

8:22 am

ursh

Interesting - we have 5 cats and one of them refuses all other food except for Fancy Feast - wonder if it the same as you get in Canada. Comes in little tiny tins with a ring top to open ?

8:23 am

MollyL

I'm pretty sure Fancy Feast is Fancy Feast no matter where you buy it.

8:24 am

ursh

Probably Molly

8:25 am

MollyL

The very idea that there is "gourmet" cat food cracks me up.

8:25 am

Bogwoggle

Yup. But he only likes the grilled stuff. A trifle spoiled. We lost him while on a camping trip to northern Alberta and searched for 8 days. Finally had to leave without him. 4 months later we got a call from a family. He wondered in out of the bush and ingratiated himself with the family. His tags were still intact and the family had read our lost adds posted everywhere. He lost 4 pounds and was very matted and dehydrated but bounced back quickly. Hence, we kinda spoil him.

8:26 am

car.eeyore

Good morning

8:27 am

bichon

From a dog household, mine won't eat kibble unless it is mixed with something tasty

8:27 am

ursh

That is incredible Bogwoggle - to get him back from the bush like that - wonder how many lives he used up on that excursion :)

8:28 am

car.eeyore

wow

8:29 am

Bogwoggle

We were totally amazed. I think he survived partly because he is allowed outdoors and likes to hunt. We had taken him all over Alberta and BC without incident. Now we leave him with family or put him in a fancy Cat hotel!

8:29 am

MollyL

My kids have a cat that went missing for a couple of months. Everyone thought she was dead and suddenly, she turned up. Which is a good thing because they treat that cat like it is their child.

8:30 am

Bogwoggle

It's amazing how attached we get to our pets. We also have 2 small dogs that just as spoiled.

8:33 am

bichon

We treat Marco like our child. He is amenable to that.

8:35 am

Bogwoggle

Our dogs are shih tzu/bichon crosses. Lovely combination.

8:35 am

bichon

I would say so

8:37 am

flosey

falling asleep!! even after the coffee, but thanks again Molly, did find quite a few words. 72 to go and they'll just have to wait - bbl

bichon - remove the curls the hair salon provided

8:42 am

bichon

ty ursh. Do women still have thosedone?

8:43 am

ursh

Dont think so - but it will surely become fashionable again one day

8:45 am

MollyL

Oh women still have those done all the time.

8:46 am

MollyL

Although that string straight, no body look for hair seems to be popular as well.

8:59 am

cybernan

good morning everyone

9:00 am

Scrabbler

I just do the front steps and in front of the garage. I pay someone to plow the driveway. We get so much snow here that almost everyone has a snowplow guy.

9:01 am

bichon

I guess a snow blower is under kill

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Some people use one, but we might get a foot of snow one day, another foot 2 days later. etc. I lie in ski country with a ski resort across the valley. This is where the Lake Erie snow machine dumps snow regularly.

9:08 am

cybernan

finally starting to see the juniper peeking through the snow -- maybe spring is acutally on it's way. It's been above freezing the last 3 days and we've had some rain.

9:08 am

MollyL

I wouldn't say Ruby lives in the tropics.

9:08 am

rubyfoo

It is only tropical here in the summer when the humidity is 110%

9:09 am

bichon

Annie hasn't been here for over a week

Hello scraabs and trif

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I love hearing the tales of goofy middle schoolers, Trif. I don't know how you tolerate them. Adolescents are our worst patients.

9:26 am

bichon

Here's to spring, whenever it comes

9:26 am

Trifioso

ruby, have you read a book called "the Little Paris Bookshop?" it is an absolute TREASURE

9:27 am

Trifioso

most of the time they are really quite wonderful, scrabbler - teenagers are my favorite students to work with

9:27 am

rubyfoo

I'll look for it on Amazo n

9:27 am

bichon

It must be difficult to talk to them about certain issues

9:27 am

Trifioso

please do, ruby - oh, how I envy you reading it for the first time!

9:28 am

rubyfoo

When I ws a teacher, I, too, loved adolescents

I'm playing ostrich.

9:39 am

The news conference is not the only thing scaring me

9:40 am

rubyfoo

t's getting worse and worse

9:40 am

cybernan

are you referring to his rant to the media?

9:40 am

rubyfoo

What happened today, Bichon, I've been afraid to put on the news

9:43 am

cybernan

have to admit I didn't listen to it -- I usually turn the channel when he comes on -- I don't believe anything he says anyway. Too many times he proved to say only what he thought people want to hear - to heck with the facts or the truth

9:44 am

origami

I'm with nan. I can't watch any more.

9:44 am

MollyL

He is not the first President to do that.

teeny

9:47 am

cybernan

yes, but this one's actions and professed beliefs are way out there in la la land. I think most teenagers have more self control and common sense

10:21 am

EvaNadine

mama started the week with 2 ear infections + a fever of 102. been trudging back to life since then.

bebe is fighting his second round of RSV, so we are now the proud owners of our very own nebulizer + at a mere 5 months, we're already 'roiding him up.

10:23 am

MollyL

RSV is Respiratory syncytial virus for those of you not hep to the lingo.

eva uggh not fun

10:24 am

bichon

My grandchildren in CA have been like that for most of their lives

10:25 am

MollyL

I'm so ancient. When my kids were babies they just got colds.

10:25 am

MLFAN17

molly I think that was the same for me when I was a kid.

10:26 am

EvaNadine

apparently, RSV is what causes you to catch the cold...or bronchitis...or pneumonia...

10:27 am

MLFAN17

my niece was sick a few years ago her parents said it was just a cold. my mom took her to dr and it was more then a cold

10:27 am

bichon

Mine have the asthma "gene" Both parents have outgrown it, but my d.i.l. was very sick til her 30's

10:28 am

rururocks

i'm lucky.. I haven't been sick in many years

10:29 am

EvaNadine

yeah. baby K has "just a cold" so much that they *almost* sent us to the ER today for chest x-rays.

10:29 am

MLFAN17

I don't get sick too often

10:29 am

MollyL

Eva, steroids, seriously?

10:29 am

EvaNadine

ruru - youve been sick FOR many years. ;)

10:29 am

rururocks

you have to add twisted to that eva

10:29 am

bichon

In the nebulizer, not injections

10:30 am

rururocks

i'm sorry your little guy is not well eva

10:30 am

amelu0218

My dad died from ARDS. Not a good time. Best wishes to limited health issues.

10:30 am

MLFAN17

eva is that how the rsv was diagnosed?

10:30 am

EvaNadine

yeah, because this is the 2nd time in less than a month + hes having such a tough time breathing, she gave him an oral steroid yesterday with dose 2 today and 3 tomorrow.

10:30 am

MLFAN17

ame what is ards?

10:31 am

MollyL

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

10:31 am

EvaNadine

MLF - we just went to the pediatrician after his cold + cough turned into a chest rattle/wheeze.
a quick nasal swab told them it's RSV.

10:31 am

amelu0218

Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Basically, pinholes in his lungs. They couldn't process oxygen into his system any more.

10:32 am

rururocks

that sounds awful ame

10:32 am

MLFAN17

eva ohhh so why would he need an xray? is it because of how long its been since it started?

10:32 am

MLFAN17

amel yikes

10:33 am

EvaNadine

basically...they were concerned it might have grown into pneumonia. but he doesnt have a fever + i guess he is responding well enough to the neb treatments that they decided it wasnt needed.

10:33 am

bichon

Where's Scrabs when we need her

10:34 am

amelu0218

He went to the ER with flu-like symptoms, they admitted him and started pumping fluids in. Then they determined it was food poisoning (e coli), but by that time the fluids had carried it into his lungs. *shrug* That's why they call it "practicing medicine".

10:35 am

amelu0218

I don't "do doctors" very well, lol.

10:35 am

MollyL

I am the same way amelu

10:35 am

origami

Sorry ame, that sounds terrible.

10:36 am

origami

I don't do doctors either. But I have two appointments today cuz there is something really wrong with my eyes.

10:36 am

10:38 am

amelu0218

Thanks, it was a long time ago, jeez, almost 20 years. It's not as raw as it once was and I didn't mean to take over conversation, lol. On that note, I have to jet. Will be back later... y'all have a great day/afternoon/evening/night/whatever it is where you are!

10:38 am

MLFAN17

bye ame

10:38 am

cybernan

hello again

10:39 am

MLFAN17

hi cyber

10:39 am

origami

I'm having problems with my visual field vibrating. They are concerned since I have glaucoma also.

10:39 am

MLFAN17

never mind found it

10:40 am

rururocks

oooh.. I hope not

10:40 am

MLFAN17

visual field vibrating?

10:41 am

origami

We'll see ... I don't like the list of possible causes my primary care doctor offered up :D It will be a relief to just know what it is.

10:41 am

rururocks

ugh.. I hope it's something simple and not glaucoma

10:42 am

origami

Oh, I do have glaucoma. But it is not a very serious case.

10:42 am

MLFAN17

yes I agree origami its nice to have a name to something. unlike with my husband who had the same thing is mom probably did but no name to it

10:42 am

rururocks

oh I didn't know that

10:42 am

rururocks

i have the beginnings of cataracts (i'm old) so it's normal

10:42 am

origami

And cataracts and cysts on my cornea. My eyes are a mess.

10:43 am

MLFAN17

my husband was told he had glaucoma too but they are now saying its something different. he stopped all eye drops and doesn't do anything

10:43 am

MLFAN17

origami, can you have laser surgery?

10:43 am

rubyfoo

If glaucoma is fund early, I think it is well-controlled with drops. Both my (late) husband and my father had it, and neither one lost any vision.

10:43 am

origami

And I just have bad vision in general. But I am VERY grateful I can have my vision corrected. I feel for people who have no access to corrective lenses.

10:44 am

origami

I'm "too young" (HA) for cataract surgery. But they are little and not growing much.

10:44 am

rururocks

the only drag is when your prescription changes it's 1,00o's of bucks to redo your glasses (I am in that phase right now)

10:45 am

MLFAN17

my husband as well ruby

10:45 am

MLFAN17

ruru uggh

10:45 am

origami

That is a drag Ru. Even with insurance they are costly.

10:45 am

MLFAN17

origami do eyedrops help?

10:46 am

bichon

Mr. Bich just had cataract surgery and it's so difficult to recognize him without glasses

10:46 am

cybernan

hubby had first cataract surgery 2 weeks ago -- went really well. Next one at the end of March.

10:46 am

rururocks

i just paid out $1,300 for new sunglasses

10:46 am

MLFAN17

ruru yikes!

10:46 am

cybernan

who robbed you?

10:46 am

rururocks

everything is expensive here nan

10:46 am

origami

The glaucoma I have isn't related to pressure in the eye, so drops don't help. They don't know what has caused the retinal damage.

10:47 am

bichon

I just buy the sun glasses which go over your glasses

10:47 am

MLFAN17

designer frames ruru?

10:47 am

origami

Wow, ru, that is pricey!

10:47 am

rururocks

let me know when you find out ori..

10:47 am

MLFAN17

origami its not caused by pressure? I thought that's what the diagnosis was for glaucoma?

10:48 am

MLFAN17

bichon I used to use those

10:48 am

cybernan

I get my reading/task glasses at costco -- just had the lens replaced last time -- think it came to about $100

10:48 am

origami

Glaucoma is most often caused by pressure. But other things can cause it also. I meant optic nerve damage, not retinal damage. Sorry.

10:49 am

MLFAN17

origami hmm

10:50 am

origami

They think mine was caused by some sort of injury. I did fall off horses a lot as a kid :D

10:50 am

rururocks

yeah.. expensive designer frames

10:50 am

MLFAN17

well if you hit your head a lot yes from that

10:50 am

MLFAN17

ruru :)

10:50 am

rururocks

you should never drink and ride ori.

10:51 am

cybernan

so if you go for designer frames you can't say things are more expensive here --- that was your choice

10:51 am

rururocks

oh sure.. the mark-ups in SF are ridiculous nan

10:51 am

rururocks

but i like the service and professionalism at this place

10:52 am

origami

I'm going to treat myself to a manicure before the appointment.

10:52 am

cybernan

cheapest pair of prescription glasses I ever bought was in Palm Desert

10:52 am

MLFAN17

rururocks

10:53 am

bichon

My daughter gets hers on line and raves about them

10:53 am

MLFAN17

I have heard the best place to get glasses is online

10:54 am

MollyL

It's Medical Terminology Day her in BabbleLand

10:54 am

MLFAN17

ruru I don't understand that clue?

10:54 am

cybernan

I think it depends where you shop ... glasses direct from the optometrist's office are notoriously expensive. Good looking reasonably prices ones can be bought at costco or Penny's

10:55 am

MLFAN17

but I think the selection online isn't that great at a lot of places

10:55 am

rururocks

i hate costco

10:55 am

origami

My assistant gets her glasses at Costco for pretty cheap.

10:55 am

MollyL

Gee, Ru's clue had 4 of the six letters in it.

10:55 am

MollyL

I hate Costco too.

10:55 am

origami

I love Costco. They saved me $3K on my new car.

10:56 am

bichon

I love Costco and I heard their wine is pretty good

10:56 am

MLFAN17

10:56 am

mixi6

10:57 am

rururocks

holy cow

10:57 am

rururocks

I didn't know that

10:57 am

origami

They have a car buying program that works with certain dealers to sell the cars just a smidgen over dealer cost.

10:58 am

rururocks

I should have bought my audi at Costco :D

10:58 am

origami

Audi, maybe not :D I bought a Subaru Forester.

10:59 am

Hi Eva and baby K.

11:01 am

EvaNadine

11:01 am

Scrabbler

I drove my Forester to that point, then got a Crosstrek. I will have one of these forever--perfect for me. I can get 2 kayaks or canoes on top, put my mountain bikes on the back and hit the road.

11:01 am

I really like mine - very sturdy and solid and both of my big beasts can fit in the back.

11:02 am

And the key to aging well, besides being lucky with DNA and making healthy choices with eating, is being active. I know too many people that do not exercise at all and their bodies decay and seize up.

11:06 am

moolingwa

language is funny

2:45 pm

moolingwa

word game dictionaries are typically arbitrary to some extent

2:46 pm

moolingwa

The dictionary here seems to be equivalent to TWL98 or something around then, which was the official US competitive scrabble word list

2:47 pm

moolingwa

The thing I do like, is that at least it's consistent with an official word game dictionary, a lot of word games seem to come up with their own...makes it hard to move between word games

2:48 pm

Deeha

gl8 - what sort of word is that??!!!

2:48 pm

moolingwa

sounds scottish to me ;)

2:49 pm

Deeha

I gave up the scrabble I played as -if you made up a word - it said 'are you sure' and if you said yes it was allowed!!

2:49 pm

moolingwa

that's weird

2:50 pm

scrabble is a bit odd...it's licensed to different companies in the US versus the rest of the world

5:03 pm

MollyL

Clues or the list, it makes it easier either way.

5:03 pm

moolingwa

the mind boggles

5:03 pm

moolingwa

Way back when I did use Lickety's clues, but it got me through the boards so quick

5:04 pm

moolingwa

at least with clues, they tend to be more random, and don't give away the other words that I find

5:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

is there really a 15???

5:04 pm

moolingwa

Either way, you work rules that work for you

5:04 pm

lynxxx

noooo Owl - I had 15 8's still to find

5:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

OMG ! *mops brow and puts away martini fixings*

5:10 pm

crayola

Nice clue lynx, thanks. :D

5:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

hahaha someone found a goat in the hood! gotta love it! still unclaimed, not sure it is legal

5:12 pm

lynxxx

maybe a takeaway dinner?

5:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was a billy. they smell awful. i do love goats, as pets, never ate one.

5:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, at least, when i was in jamaica, never ordered one. they were all over the roads.

5:14 pm

lynxxx

I love the miniture goats. Don't fancy goat too much but husband loves it

5:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

although i could have had one when i ate ethiopian in DC once

5:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

what does it taste like?

5:15 pm

lynxxx

dry beef imho

5:16 pm

lynxxx

obviously good for stew type dishes

5:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

guess it needs marinating. i may have had in a wat.

5:16 pm

lynxxx

wat?

5:16 pm

lil*monkey

I have eaten curry goat, delish.

5:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

was the most adventurous meal i ever had. was traveling alone and liked the idea of a communal table. a wat is a stew

5:17 pm

lil*monkey

Wat is a word for stew.

5:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh oh , here goes another wat. what? wat. who's on first

5:18 pm

lynxxx

in what language?

5:18 pm

moolingwa

to me goat tastes a lot like mutton or funky lamb

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

never ate mutton. tasted lamb once, lots of garlic. tasted good to me.

5:18 pm

moolingwa

but jamaican goat curry is very good

5:19 pm

lil*monkey

Yes, moo , that's what I had.

5:19 pm

lynxxx

lamb is delicious - except if it is funky!

5:19 pm

moolingwa

lamb is the best

5:19 pm

moolingwa

lamb and sage pies

5:19 pm

moolingwa

irish lamb stew

5:19 pm

moolingwa

roast rack of lamb...either with rosemary, or mustard and thyme

5:19 pm

5:20 pm

moolingwa

either that or greek, or from the middle east :)

5:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

nah

5:20 pm

lil*monkey

rack of lamb, with fresh mint sauce

5:20 pm

lynxxx

lamb shoulder very popular here at the moment - prices skyrocketing for what was a poorer cut of meat

5:20 pm

moolingwa

I can pass on the mint sauce...

5:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to think about dinner.

5:20 pm

lil*monkey

Lamb shanks at my fav Turkish restaurant

5:23 pm

moolingwa

algybra...I'm not going to posit a definition for that one

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh here we go. i had a coworker who was an inveterate punster. he was a little sly weasel, i think that colors my opinion.

5:24 pm

MollyL

Lil, I think you should change your name to Lil Money. I like that.

5:33 pm

moolingwa

it's a trek for sure

5:33 pm

lynxxx

5:34 pm

5:35 pm

5:35 pm

MollyL

Well, no. Not because it would be a good hip-hop name.

5:36 pm

moolingwa

I make a point not to date firewood

5:36 pm

sukee

Ty for the TI :)

5:36 pm

sukee

I swiped to the right...

5:37 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:37 pm

bichon

ty, but I've never heard of the date site

5:38 pm

lynxxx

probably just over here

5:38 pm

moolingwa

no, it's very large here too

5:38 pm

Lizlin

International, I thought.

5:38 pm

moolingwa

but more popular with younger generations

5:39 pm

sukee

I think you have to be under 35 to use it :)

5:39 pm

bichon

I have had a date fr 46 years

5:39 pm

lynxxx

must be a lot of people lying then

5:40 pm

Lizlin

Well that'd be unusual, Lyn

5:40 pm

Lizlin

Said ironically of course :)

5:40 pm

lynxxx

ha

5:42 pm

sukee

I tried Plenty O Fish at one time and kept getting messages from married men.

5:42 pm

moolingwa

25 to go...

5:43 pm

Lizlin

Go, Mool!

5:43 pm

MollyL

Dating web sites creep me out.

5:43 pm

moolingwa

never used one myself, and hope to never have to use one

5:44 pm

Lizlin

Same here.

5:44 pm

sukee

Me too, I know people who have met online and had good relationships but I don't think it's for me.

5:44 pm

lynxxx

OK 26 re's to find

5:44 pm

Lizlin

A breeze, Lyn

5:45 pm

sukee

I have 202 left :)

5:46 pm

sukee

Looking for forward to warm weather tomorrow. 10C

5:49 pm

sukee

I swear I keep finding words I thought I already input.

5:51 pm

Lizlin

Me too and that's even though I've refreshed the page regularly. I probably just remember putting them into an earlier grid.

5:51 pm

sukee

Probably :)

5:51 pm

lynxxx

I missed Rudolph!

5:52 pm

sukee

Woo, TY :)

5:52 pm

Lizlin

Me too until someone clued him.

5:57 pm

lynxxx

and happily done...anything wanted before I run off?

5:57 pm

Lizlin

8's complete. Phew!

5:57 pm

hi all, back to find my last 70 words

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Hi Peri - down to 28 here - tough grid for me.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks - with thanks to Lickety, clues and finally (for some really unusual words) more words.

6:21 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats, liz!

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Thanks Une.

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Any help before I go?

6:22 pm

MollyL

There is no shame in using morewords

6:23 pm

Lizlin

Certainly it helps me try to learn new words, to remember in future grids.

6:24 pm

rururocks

There is a ton of shame using moreword and a2z

6:24 pm

rururocks

:D

6:24 pm

Lizlin

;)

6:24 pm

Lizlin

Takes more than that to shame me!

6:25 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening / day everyone.

6:27 pm

rururocks

night liz

6:32 pm

MollyL

Well, the help section of this game says that the point of the game is to find all the words YOU can find...etc. If you follow along with that...asking for clues, using web sites to find words is not...shall we say...kosher. But whatever.

6:34 pm

rururocks

yeah.. well.. .the help section doesn't give me much help on catching and passing Dart :D

6:35 pm

MollyL

The help section doesn't seem to give much guidance for being the best and the brightest.

6:36 pm

MollyL

And the way the statistics are set up, there is no way to "beat" someone who has played longer than you. (I am not a big fan of the way the statistics are set up here)

6:39 pm

rururocks

I just found a plethora of re s

9:08 pm

Trifioso

that is what I need - a real run

9:11 pm

sandyloo

Trifioso

I do indeed,

9:11 pm

Trifioso

well, in the woods at elast

9:12 pm

Trifioso

9:13 pm

sandyloo

We live on a farm and it is morning here - I have lots to do , that is why Babble is bad !!! I love puppies we have lots of animals too

9:14 pm

Trifioso

oh that's great! we don't have big animals, like livestock...

9:15 pm

sandyloo

We have horses, sheep , chooks , dogs , cat, alpaca and wild kangaroos of course

9:15 pm

Trifioso

we used to have a zillion chickens, but then....the night of the coyotes....

9:16 pm

Trifioso

oh wow!!! You are WAY ahead of me! you have snakes?

9:18 pm

sandyloo

Foxes are our problem, we have a chookyard which is like fort knox with a roof all over. We do have snakes and practically all are deadly . We have had a lot this year, My husband has a rifle filled with ratshot with which we shoot them or kill them with a shovel

9:18 pm

sandyloo

The chooks are out in the day but locked in at night

9:18 pm

Trifioso

ugh - can't say I would enjoy that. I like snakes, as they eat so many things I don't like, but we only have the harmless (to humans) kind, thank goodness

9:19 pm

sandyloo

I am going now I feel guilty about slacking off and yes I HATE snakes. the other thing we have is fresh water crayfish in our dams - They are called marron and are really yummy

9:20 pm

urshy, no, was too afraid to let anyone near my back. but this pain doc i have worked with for years. i was once told over 30 years ago that if i didn't have spinal surgery i would end up in a wheelchair WITHIN 5 years. fat lot that surgeon knows.

10:57 pm

hurshy

10:58 pm

over 30 years ago, i managed to prolapse 9 discs. work injury.

10:58 pm

grannyrose

don't know hurshy. will find out on Monday

10:59 pm

grannyrose

into my hip the doc injected Kenacomb.

10:59 pm

hurshy

you let them inject stuff into your back and hip without knowing what...

10:59 pm

hurshy

o so you know hip but not back?

11:00 pm

grannyrose

yup. was pretty out of it in the hospital, lolll also had my ketamine infusion at the same time.

11:02 pm

hurshy

tell cuddy... i want ketamine

11:03 pm

Uneaixoise

it's pretty addictive, right?

11:03 pm

sandyloo

11:04 pm

Uneaixoise

french tush

11:04 pm

hurshy

idk, i thought it was a horse tranquilizer, and i didn't think tranquilizers were addictive, but what do i know

11:04 pm

Uneaixoise

i may have watched too much Law and Order LOL!

11:05 pm

hurshy

Uneaixoise

11:06 pm

sandyloo

ah thanks une and ketamine is used as a horse tranquilizer but also for humans

11:06 pm

grannyrose

yup, unsupervised too.

11:06 pm

grannyrose

doc's are still finding out all the effects of ketamine. in my case one of many things is that it stops my central apnoea.

11:07 pm

hurshy

i know what sleep apnoea is, but what is central?

11:07 pm

grannyrose

which means i keep on breathing 24/7

11:08 pm

grannyrose

central is in the brain itself. i don't obstruct, i just stop breathing

11:08 pm

Uneaixoise

a GOOD thing! :-)

11:08 pm

hurshy

whoa, that is v uncool

11:08 pm

grannyrose

it hapens when i am awake too

11:09 pm

grannyrose

it is scary when your body suddenly jerks and you realise you have to take a deep breath

11:11 pm

Uneaixoise

you know, since my car accident last year when the airbag just about blew me into the next county, occasionally I have big sudden intakes of breath . . .

11:11 pm

hurshy

i would think so!

11:12 pm

hurshy

(i was responding to grannyr - i would think it is scary)

11:12 pm

Uneaixoise

i knew that's what you meant :-)

11:12 pm

grannyrose

une.... it sounds like your breathing pattern has changed. perhaps some muscles aren't working as well as they ought to do.

11:13 pm

Uneaixoise

it's not all the time, just occasionally . . .

11:14 pm

grannyrose

anything specific, like position, time of day, or just random

11:14 pm

Uneaixoise

11:16 pm

Uneaixoise

11:16 pm

Uneaixoise

11:16 pm
