Good Luck today Sprite, will be thinking of you today

1:31 am

1:31 am

Don't know why - I do just feel good about it!

1:32 am

residential clinic - how long for? good luck!

1:32 am

they offer both resident and non-resident programs. The intake is to decide which to offer me... intake with psychiatrist next week... after that, decision.

1:33 am

if I am allowed residential, it will be for 6 - 8 weeks. Weekends home.

1:33 am

best of luck, i hope it works for you whichever way it goes

1:33 am

prayers are with you sprite. i know this is gonna be a tough one.

1:33 am

Liz, I have a lot of faith in 'gut-feelings'. Thank you!

1:33 am

yw :)

1:34 am

Hi ya Rose, feeling better?

1:34 am

hiya rose. Yeah, it is. Thank you for your support.

1:34 am

yes thanx pugs. still wrung out though

1:34 am

how are you, rose? How is the breathing an coughing?

1:34 am

Pugs beat me to that question!!! Sorry to read yesterday that naughty Don infected you!!!! LOL!

1:34 am

thanks, Glant :)

1:35 am

and hows Don

1:35 am

breathing pretty good, can almost take a full breath without coughing.

1:35 am

Progress - when does he come home? Or did I miss that?

1:35 am

wow... sounds like progress, but not good at all yet. Is Don fully on the mend?

Maybe you are both on the mend now, Rose :)

1:36 am

don still coughing badly. but not quite as much, we both got a decent night's sleep

1:36 am

liz, brought him home yesterday.

1:36 am

sleep is a great healer

1:36 am

That's good :)

1:37 am

But you've lost the TV control! Not so good!!!

1:37 am

hope you gte better soon roase and don

1:37 am

lol Liz

1:38 am

dee, i am sure we are. i feel so much better emotionally. oh, and btw? this virus attacks your kidneys...we both became severely dehydrated, overnight. not last night, but earlier in the week

1:38 am

Seriously though, i will you both a speedy and full recovery.

1:38 am

ugly virus :(

1:38 am

wish!

wow, does sound nasty

1:39 am

*giggles* Forceful much, huh Liz...

1:39 am

so if you hear of anyone coming down with this, for goodness sake, tell them to drink lots of fluid.

I'll remember.

1:39 am

maybe not so much the virus as it was the bourbon?-lol

1:40 am

Not liking this grid any more than yesterday's! BBL. Good luck Sprite - look forward to hearing the outcome.

1:40 am

lol pug! Hangover virus.

1:40 am

don as well, pugs, and he doesn't drink alcohol, only socially

1:40 am

thanks Liz :)

1:40 am

no the dehydration

1:41 am

the boy is ill, btw... and all of a sudden he is just a little boy again.

1:42 am

i am so thankful we sent mother mac away. don told me today, that the doctor's told him last week that the antibiotics weren't working for her, because of her poor renal function. * sigh * i don't think she will be with us much longer.

1:42 am

my mum is in the same position rose

1:42 am

aww poor, tim. what's the problem?

1:42 am

where has mother mac gone?

1:42 am

so sorry Rose

1:42 am

aw rose :( Tough place to be for all of you.

1:43 am

Sprite what is wrong with your son?

so sorry, Rose

1:43 am

we sent her to her daughter's until we are well enough to take care of her again.

1:43 am

tim has a touch of the flu. Cottonball head, headache, sore throat, the works.

1:43 am

so if she had picked up this virus, it may have been the end.

1:44 am

my mum's 80 miles away and has just spent a week in hospital - mild heart attack - I found her on the kitchen floor last Monday when i took some shopping

1:44 am

oh, gosh, glant

1:44 am

you did very well to send her away, rose. Every virus can be fatal when people are that weak. *hugs*

How awful, Glant.

1:44 am

Hope it doesnt spread through out your family,Sprite

1:44 am

and i go to the US on 9th Oct

1:44 am

aw Glant... so sorry. Must have given you quite a scare. How is she doing now?

1:44 am

okaaa-aaay, sneezing not a good idea...* OUCH *

1:45 am

for 3 weeks. Hoping I feel confident enough about her health by then to enjoy the trip

1:45 am

oh dear... for how long, Glant?

1:45 am

she is doing fine but she is at stage 4 kidney disease

1:45 am

Hugs Giant--hope all comes out okay

1:45 am

ah, already told us. I hope she will be steady enough by then so you can go without worrying too much.

1:46 am

she was on the floor for 40 minutes before I found her, and another 2 hours before the paramedica arrived (we didn;t know it was heart, she was awake and alert)

1:46 am

that is long :(

1:46 am

yes, she was cold by the time they got her up

1:46 am

it's yucky, isn't it glant? and there isn't a lot you personally can do...i know...all i try to do is give her a well-balanced diet, and cross my fingers.

1:47 am

i just feel a bit helpless being so far away, and holding down a full time job means I can't visit daily as i'd like

1:47 am

when their time has come, there is nothing you can do. But both of you are making their lives until that point a lot better.

1:47 am

at 94, it's a bit late trying to te5 her new diet tricks....lol

1:48 am

my mum should be on a better diet but she has so little interest in food these days that i think eating anything is a bit of a bonus

1:48 am

poor glant....as don would say, so near, yet so far.

1:48 am

although i worry about her salt intake

1:48 am

mum's 79

1:49 am

respectable ages. Yes, easy on the salt is always good, but I can understand you being happy she is eating anything at all.

1:49 am

glant it usually isn't the sodium which is the problem..it's the potassium. do you have a list of high potassium foods to show her?

1:50 am

does she need ore potassium or less? and where would I get such a list?

1:50 am

we have a "low" salt over here. i was going to give it to mother mac. then i realised it was potassium chloride, not sodium chloride.

1:51 am

glant, try google or whichever search engine you use. if you don't find it, email me and i will send it to you.

1:52 am

pfui, past the halfway point. This is a decidedly wicked grid.

1:52 am

she needs much less potassium. chronic renal failure patients camnnot excrete potassium, and so it builds up in their blood.

1:52 am

does she need low potassium or high potassium rose?

1:52 am

thanks

1:53 am

yay, sprite, nice job. yes, it has teeth, dear

1:53 am

bananas, acorn squash...

1:53 am

Sprite are you going alone today

1:53 am

hiya mab :)

1:54 am

lovely icon and profile text, mab, lol

1:54 am

yogurt

1:54 am

hey mab, those are some...but there are many more...all not obvious

1:54 am

Hi Mab, dont think Ive met you before

1:54 am

pug: yes, my husband is at work. Am all set with how to travel... been ages since I used public transportation.

1:54 am

hi sprite and ell. just googled high potassium foods.

1:54 am

white beans, avocado

1:55 am

all

1:55 am

hi all, not ell

1:55 am

was thinking mab, if glant googles it for herself, she could print out the information.

1:55 am

mab is a babbler from the very start, I think

1:56 am

dried apricots, leafy greens, potatoes, salmon

1:56 am

that sounds like an adventure in its self.Never have used public trans. before,myself

1:56 am

i'll bet she's googling now

1:57 am

you going by train,bus or taxi or horse and carrige

1:57 am

pugs, i tried to find your home on google maps. was there a fire around your home in the last few years?

1:57 am

wish I could go by horse! No, bicycle to train station, train to Amsterdam, tram to near destination.

1:58 am

nah, pugs, she's on the harley davison...lol

1:58 am

not that Iam aware of,but we did have a bad tornado that done alot of damage and took out a covered bridge

1:58 am

rose I wish! The only bike worth calling a motor bike. Well, HD and Indian.

1:59 am

i have no auto either.

1:59 am

weird...on google maps, there is burnt fields all around you, and the trees near the house have been burnt.

1:59 am

our car is sitting in front of our home, with panne. Didn't have the money yet to have it fixed.

1:59 am

have you been there long?

2:00 am

but distances are greater than in netherlands

2:00 am

what is the date of the google maps there, rose?

2:00 am

thats not me then---Ive lived here since I was 18

2:01 am

I live about five miles from a small town called Milroy

2:01 am

would you believe? i am sitting here with a temperature of around 100F. someone turn on the aircon...please...

2:01 am

is that the room temp or your temp

2:01 am

my temp pugs

2:02 am

i do wish our buses ran more frequently; the number of riders is low

2:02 am

indeed, mab. In the Netherlands, it is impossible to be more than 300 km away from anything.

2:02 am

I always wanted to take a trip by train

2:03 am

my new house is 4 minutes walk form the train station - bliss

2:03 am

are you sweating it out Rose

2:03 am

i've always lived in big cities, until the last several years. i miss subways and cabs.

2:03 am

i used to live 40 minutes drive away form the station

2:03 am

oh how lovely, Glant. And the noise isn't bothering you?

2:03 am

yes, pugs, it's pouring off me...

2:03 am

do you live in a big city Mab

2:04 am

is the fibro behaving, rose?

2:04 am

put your wrists in a bowl of cold water rose, always helps me

2:04 am

no, i live in nowheresville, mass.

2:04 am

i don;t hear the trains at all sprite

2:04 am

thats good though Rose and you sure dont want cold drafts on you now!

2:04 am

that is lovely, Glant.

2:04 am

hard to tell, sprite. i still ache all over.

2:04 am

i am coming to stamford in 3 weeks mab

2:04 am

*sends gentle healing vibes to rose*

2:05 am

*bouncing those vibes plus more to sprite *

2:06 am

oh yes, fairfield county. i used to visit that area often.

2:07 am

did you get the chicken soup,Rose

2:08 am

can't see the REs....

2:08 am

got chicken and corn, is that close enough?

2:08 am

which ones, glant?

2:09 am

close enough---is it soup?

2:09 am

i have 3, the re4s and can't see any of the longer ones LOL

2:09 am

aw thanks, rose... but make sure you keep enough vibes for yourself!

2:09 am

yes, dear....and i got some minestrone as well.

2:09 am

I love corn soup but never have made it

2:09 am

lolol, that's why the 'plus', dear

2:10 am

lol rose :D

2:10 am

re7, depending upon someone/something

2:10 am

ok, am gonna get dressed. Back in a bit.

2:10 am

ty rose

2:11 am

hurry back!

2:11 am

OK, half way and time to head out for work - happy babbling

2:11 am

re5/6, what is left after a long time...

2:12 am

when I was working at the home, they made the best creamy corn soup

2:12 am

re6, re + a straight **** is the shortest distance between two points

2:12 am

bye Giant have a lovely day

2:12 am

hope you have a good one, glant

2:13 am

Well, I'm *really* late this time -- had important (to me) arrangements to attend to before coming here. Old friend coming to Victoria for the weekend so I had to get out of bridge and stuff to see her and her family for maybe the last time.

2:14 am

Hi Jilli--why the last time

2:15 am

Well, she's 88 and lives in Toronto -- I'm 86 and live on the west coast.

2:16 am

She's coming here with her ailing hubby for her older sister's memorial.

2:18 am

When I say "here" I mean Victoria -- not where I live, but I'm arranging to meet.

2:18 am

I hope you get to have a good visit and I really dont know what to say but I hope you both a very very long life ahead

2:18 am

thanks, pug -- it can't be really long, but we'll take whatever we get, lol!

2:19 am

we none know when our number is up, age has nothing to do with that

2:20 am

so will i...jilli, take whatever you get...and i hope you live long enough to be a nuisance to your children...lol

2:22 am

falling asleep here, goodnight everyone

2:22 am

night Flosey

2:22 am

night, flosey, hope you have a sweet sleep

2:22 am

And I agree with that too! Night flosey. Sleep well.

2:23 am

Oh, I'm already a nuisance to my one and only child -- my son! He just hit 65 -- unbelieveable. My very adult gandkids (2) are much more tolerant.

2:23 am

night flosey, hi jilli, I am back

2:24 am

yay, jilli, then you are right on target, dear

2:24 am

how can he even think you are a nuisance, jilli? You are wonderful! Wish you were my mother :(

2:24 am

Gnight flosey -- and hi sprite -- glad you're back.

2:24 am

Back and already to go now Sprite

2:25 am

Peeked at sprite while she was getting dressed

2:25 am

*naughty ruru*

2:25 am

Skype can be wonderful :D

2:25 am

ruru is bad!

2:26 am

bet you got an eyeful.....* hysterical laughter*

2:26 am

lol ruru :D You wouldn't want to, I promise.

2:26 am

sprite, did you leave skype on? i've told you again and again...

2:27 am

all ready to go, pug. Just my wallet and my bag and off I go. May the rain stay away long enough for me to reach the train :)

2:27 am

Two eyeful s

2:27 am

rose, how else can I incite lovely men to peek at me?

2:27 am

Two eyeful s

2:27 am

now put them back in their sockets, ruru

2:27 am

easily two eyefuls. If you turned around at any moment, it was three.

2:28 am

Oh thanks, sprite! I dealy love my son and we often get on well, but I seem to have a talent for saying the wrong thing and irritating him. Example -- he;s fine art photographer and today posted a beautiful and fascinating photo of a flock of waterbirds on a beach. I hinted that National Geographic might appreciate it. His reply was that a surgeon is not expected to perform for free, or words to that effect. My dear and very talented son earns no money with his art.

2:29 am

so that's two blue eyes, and a brown eye...right?

2:30 am

you got it, rose, lol

2:30 am

Lol...hazel eyes

2:31 am

oh dear... well, if you get a chance, tell him I said he is darn well lucky to have you! And to have a mother who cares and is interested in him and all he does.

2:31 am

Jilli, I see nothing wrong in what you said to him at all

2:31 am

Me neither jilli

2:32 am

I have skype now but don't know how to use it -- and no camera on this desktop computer although there's one on the laptop which I never use. But oh goody, I've had messages for "General Petraeus" and some other "General"...

2:32 am

nothing at all. If he is that squeamish, he can send it to NG under a fake name :P

2:33 am

under Settings you can arrange you only get Skype from friends, jilli

2:33 am

off I go. Think of me, dear friends. *hugs*

2:34 am

you know we will! hugs and best wishes Sprite

2:34 am

Good luck

2:35 am

I asked him how he can get sales to NG if he stays away from them. No reply. But poor guy -- he is hopeless at self-promotion and won't hear of getting an agent. I am to be silent.

2:36 am

He says he is "not a fan" of NG.

2:36 am

not much else you can do Jilli if he wont take your advice to help himself

2:38 am

theres more then NG out there paying for photos

2:41 am

Yet he gives away his work all the time -- building sets for his wife's school play productions, taking photos of her cast, all for free. He writes (briliiantly) reviews for photography magazines -- for no pay. His website is there for all to see (http://www.davidevansphotography.com/\n) for free. But he does have a point, that little credit is given to such art, and lots of people rather expect it to be available at no cost. Collectors of photographs are rare still.

2:42 am

He is not into commercial photography.

2:42 am

It sounds like he does n't give a flock jilli

2:44 am

Oh, he does, very much, ruru. He cares very deeply. Just has no sales ability -- there's a reason in his past I won't go into here.

2:44 am

does he want pay for what he does or is it just a hobby he loves doing

2:44 am

Waits for the groans

2:44 am

Waits for the groans

2:47 am

pug, it's not a hobby -- it's his passion and profession -- that's the point. I think he feels that submitting a photo to NG would label him as an amateur hobbyist, which he is not, He has been a teacher in a university workshop and had has several exhibitions and even has something in Canada's National Gallery.

2:48 am

He has had a lot of very bad luck.

2:48 am

ruru, would groan if i understood, maybe it's a cultural joke/pun. you know i laugh/groan at your puns.

2:49 am

wow Jilli, thats something to be proud of to say the least. I understand where you are coming from.

2:50 am

He also has an extremely high IQ as established by a top authority -- in the top 1%. Go figure. But there is a reason for his inability to use it --as I said, not for discussion here.

2:52 am

Enough. He is my one and only and I love him and enjoy him and this doesn't belong here -- sorry.

2:54 am

S

2:55 am

Sorry, ru, didn't register your flocking punny remark.

2:55 am

okay, jilli....it's all fine

2:58 am

I know where the high IQ came from

2:59 am

my dad, my mother and my two grandads, ruru -- witha smattering of hubby's lot

3:02 am

a

3:06 am

g'day marigold

3:07 am

hah, just saw the volcano

3:07 am

yay, jilli, nice one

3:07 am

hi rose and everyone

3:08 am

3:08 am

you'd think its eruptions would be a bit more visible, lol!

3:10 am

well at least louder...

3:10 am

Hi Marigold

3:11 am

I think marigold is lurking

3:12 am

yes that is me lurking

3:13 am

hi marigold ;)

3:13 am

3:17 am

3:17 am

night Jilli

3:21 am

hi all

3:21 am

Hi Joso, feeling better

3:22 am

hellooo, joso. how is my *almost* main man? been swimming yet?

3:23 am

oh yah, just too much bad food, like a kid after the fair. Sometimes it's hard to keep up the pretence of being a grownup

3:23 am

and what gives it away, joso?

3:24 am

going on a junk food binge

3:24 am

that's not related to age, mate...

3:24 am

especially as a diabetic

3:26 am

discipline

3:26 am

maybe it's a low daftness quotient

3:27 am

was you wanting to make yourself sick on purpose,Joso

3:27 am

morning o-o

3:27 am

hehehe, no, just wanted chips and ice cream

3:27 am

instant gratification came calling

3:28 am

BR, you know very well discipline is sometimes beyond our reach.

3:29 am

lucky you, joso. at least you are wanting something. at the moment, i desire nothing....not even himself. :(

3:30 am

why not, pain?

3:31 am

that and this blessed virus...feel very low

3:31 am

Living alone Joso that kind of stuff could be dangerous

3:33 am

yeah, pugs...no-one to say...wait a minute...you know that you can't have it...then again....sometimes it is good to lash out a little. notice joso binged on potato crisps..not too deadly

3:33 am

well it's past now pug. embarased to gather all this attention for just an upset tummy when there are people with serious problems

3:34 am

awww,bl;ess you, joso. you have probs the same as the rest of us. accept our support, mate.

3:34 am

Sorry you are low rose, DH also bummed out?

3:35 am

nah, he's further along than i am.

3:35 am

oh thats good, no man flue to attend

3:36 am

Rose is there alot of people with that virus there about you

3:36 am

don't know, pugs. i guess we may be among the first.

3:37 am

it's a strange time of year for a virus to rear it's ugly head.

3:37 am

we got a measel outbreak here right now

3:41 am

have you had measels pug

3:42 am

I dont remember, Joso--I know I had the mumps and chickenpox as a kid

3:43 am

yea, i had those as a kid too, loved it, get to stay home from school and people bring you comic books, lol

3:46 am

I remember having to stay in a dark room but dont know what I had during that time.But my mom was in bed too with whatever it was

3:48 am

ah, not the same thing without a mom to reassure, sorry pug. My mom was a nurse so immune to much

3:49 am

pug - you must have had red measles.

3:50 am

i had chicken pox as a kid. i remeber my mum closing off the doorway to my room with a "gate" to stop my baby brother from getting them...didn't work. lol

3:51 am

It could of been--too long ago and I was too young to remember much, we are talking 50* years ago

3:52 am

it was around easter time, and she put all my easter eggs in a beautiful cut-crystal bowl on my dressing table. it was months later, when she missed her bowl, that we realised where it was.

3:53 am

and where was it?

3:53 am

luck you didn't break it in the mean time

3:53 am

or you brothers

3:53 am

on my dressing table. she thought it was at her mother's. we searched our house upside-down looking for it.

3:54 am

lol...yeah, joso..at that time there was only the one...

3:55 am

do you have halloween there too

3:55 am

i wasn't allowed to eat a lot of chocolate at once. she thought i was allergic to it...

3:56 am

so the easter eggs lasted a loo-oong time.

3:56 am

how spaced out are your siblings. i came along, next bro next year, and the last 2 years after that. there was a period where we where mistake for triplets

3:57 am

pugs, we don't celebrate halloween as an australian festival here.

3:57 am

good morning!

3:57 am

4:00 am

My friend, Deanne, is one of 12! Two sets of twins and one set of triplets, plus the others. And her mother, at 88, still plays golf. However, her father, who must have been tired, passed away a couple of years ago

4:00 am

our youngest was supposed to be a girl, mom and dad felt they'd done the boy thing by then. didn't even pick out a boy's name for fear of jinxing it. boy did he suffer when we found out he was supposed to be nataly elisabeth.

4:03 am

awww, poor man

4:03 am

I got five sisters alive and two sister and two brothers that died as infants

4:05 am

just a kid at the time, now his soft spot is the fact that he grows hair on the tip if his nose and has to neet it.

4:10 am

so you both have much larger families than I

4:11 am

aww, joso, we are part of your family now...no matter what happens.

4:13 am

I think a brother would be nice to have

4:13 am

not me, I have one sister. She and I both married only sons and had only sons. Only sons are no joke!

4:13 am

i'll swap you, pugs.

4:13 am

and I did it twice!

4:13 am

okay Rose

4:13 am

and now THIS one wants his lunch

4:14 am

your son visiting Ruby

4:14 am

give him another campari...he'll never notice..lol

4:14 am

son was here in April and it didn't go so well. It's a little better now, but not great

4:15 am

Husband is driving me crazy

4:15 am

*woof*

4:15 am

double campari, then

4:16 am

bye Ruby--hugs

4:17 am

Rose, when is your next visit to the doctor for your leg

4:20 am

not til the 1st of october. am hoping to hear from workcover insurers before then

4:21 am

thats not far off and work seems to be dragging their feet on this

4:22 am

I'm wondering how mother mac and your sister-in-law are getting on. I have a wee mischievous side. any news from there?

4:28 am

strangely, no, joso. my guess my SIL is getting the run around. she is bringing her mother over for her social group tomorrow...

4:30 am

pugs, workcover are trying to make out this current injury is at least 50% because i had a total knee replacement. compleyely forgetting the wet floor, with no warning signs out.

4:32 am

doning whatever to not make it right is what it sounds like. Hope you dont settle for that

4:35 am

no way, pugs. am fighting this...

4:35 am

sheesh, sounds like insurance, public or private, lots of promises going in, don't answer the phone when it's time to collect. And it's naturally when you least want to fight that they put up these barriers.

4:36 am

Good evening all

4:36 am

morning Lyn

4:36 am

hi lynx

4:36 am

hi Rose, wasn't the ankle and then the knee all WC anyway?

4:37 am

good Rose--stand your ground on this--it wasent you at fault

4:37 am

yeah joso. as one of our senior supervisors said...she sees casa after case go through on workcover...and when it is one of our employees, they drag their butt.

4:38 am

absolutely, according to the workcover doctor. haven't heard anything since that appointment last thursday.

4:40 am

How are you Lyn

4:40 am

i had practically recovered from my total knee replacement...but if they want a fight...i will claim the tkr as a workcover injury. the heirarchy are forgetting i can still do that...

4:40 am

i am well within the 7 year limitation...

4:41 am

what is the tkr?

4:41 am

Total Knee Replacement...

4:41 am

....and you said you had a SIL who is in the 'business'? Thats great that you have that expertise on call.

4:42 am

I am very well Pugs...you?

4:42 am

same here with me Lyn

4:44 am

joso, i had 2 lots of surgery on my LEFT ankle due to a strerssfracrure which occurred at work. this caused me to favour the left ankle, and put more stress on the RIGHT knee. it wore out, bone on bone. i paid for the replacement myself.but if " they " want a fight...

4:44 am

lyn, my ex DIL is a medical lawyer.

4:46 am

are you on good terms with her rose?

4:46 am

yes, joso. she is backing me 100%

4:47 am

rose, is there a time limit on your claim

4:47 am

te7.32 for FM

4:47 am

7 years, pugs, but as they are all interwoven....

4:48 am

great rose,

4:49 am

lol, yeah, wouldn't want to be on the opposite side of the bench to her..

4:49 am

thats good--just hope its soon so you can go on about getting fixed and heal

4:49 am

the left ankle is an accepted given...

4:50 am

going to get dinner, brb. xoxox

4:50 am

bye Rose

4:50 am

enjoy Rose

4:51 am

7:14 am

----> passes car hinting wand

7:15 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

7:15 am

When Burger King decided to sell fast-food Down Under, they found that there was already a local carry-out restaurant called “Burger King.” As a result, if you’re looking for a Whopper in Australia today, you’ll have to go to a chain called “Hungry Jack’s.”

7:15 am

Oh, and where WOULD we all be without Facebook fashion advice?

7:15 am

not wearing tall boots, molly

7:16 am

Absolutely true, Crossy. I found that out when I moved here and saw the logo, so googled it!

7:16 am

7:16 am

good morning, Babblers - fall has arrived here, not frosty but definitely cool

7:17 am

Hi JBV!

hello everybody. anybody?

7:58 am

I never know what time it is as every clock in the house has a different time

7:59 am

(((ruby)))

7:59 am

Hi ruby, must be about 3:00 your time : )

8:00 am

9:00 am here

8:00 am

8:57 exactly

8:01 am

I only have one clock in the house that's correct (besides the computer)

8:01 am

my cable box always has the correct time.

8:01 am

right, Annie

8:01 am

right, Annie

8:02 am

we've had several minor power failures here and I never bother to reset the clocks

8:02 am

on the subject, does anyone still wear a watch? I haven't worn one in years - never needed it at work, and now, not at all

hello all. hi jbv

8:02 am

Name that proper noun...Middle Eastern country in the news now

8:03 am

ruby's off, setting her clocks : )

8:03 am

I still wear a watch, am lost w/o it

8:03 am

hi, TO!

8:03 am

Hi Owl

hi anniw

8:04 am

my husband needed a new cheapo watch with the day, date and time. Mistakenly, I sent him off to a department store to buy one and he came back with a 398 euro fancy watch.

8:04 am

syria

8:05 am

ding ding ding!!

8:05 am

Enfuriated, I went back to the store and got our money back. I think the saleswoman took advantage of his deafness and poor French.

jbv, weather is ni4 for a trip to paterson falls.

8:06 am

should that have been INfuriated?

8:06 am

I'mlosing my English

8:06 am

be back soon

8:06 am

you know, I've never been there TO .....

8:06 am

you know, I've never been there TO .....

8:06 am

or my marbles

8:06 am

yes, infuriated, but Ruby, bravo to you for being able to speak French in anger

8:06 am

yes, infuriated, but Ruby, bravo to you for being able to speak French in anger

8:06 am

that's a high level of skill

good for you, ruby.

8:07 am

I was very quiet but scared the saleswoman anyway. I think she'd be fired for that in the US!

8:07 am

He was very upset, so I bought him a sweater.

8:08 am

: )

8:08 am

I think I speak much more French now than English unless my sister calls me

8:08 am

you can buy a ball point pen with a watch on it these days - no one needs a 400 euro watch

stats only for the y pls? ty

8:09 am

ya 5

ty

8:09 am

ruby, do you dream in French? I'm dreaming in Italian these days

8:10 am

ya5! got it!

8:10 am

Good day to all.

hi scrabs.

8:10 am

hi Scrabbler!

8:11 am

Buon giorno, mia amica!

8:11 am

Sometimes I do, but it depends on the cast of characters, frequently actors from films or TV. Luckily for everybody, I never remember my dreams as I know how boring other people's dreams are

8:11 am

hello scrabs

8:12 am

my own dreams are not boring : )

8:12 am

hahah

8:12 am

I have a very vivid, detailed dream life. I call it the Lynda Channel.

8:12 am

I have a lot of dreams about dead loved ones -- they always make me happy

8:12 am

me too scrabbler -

8:13 am

Do either of you write them down?

8:13 am

it's interesting to see the patterns in dreams - what you're really thinking

8:13 am

yes, ruby, I started doing that when I was a young child, stopped for many many years and started doing it again

8:13 am

I find it very useful

8:14 am

I do not write them down. I should. I have a recurring dream about living in a particular house.

8:14 am

What's your method of remembering them. Mine evanesce immediately

8:14 am

don't wake up immediately - linger in the dream state

8:14 am

don't wake up immediately - linger in the dream state

8:14 am

And once I had a dream of the most beautiful church. I want to visit it again.

8:14 am

keep a pad next to the bed

8:14 am

I think writing them down is a wonderful thing to do, mostly for yourself

8:14 am

Lucid dreaming is something I have done since childhood.

8:15 am

Sometimes I wake up laughing, having heard a joke in the dream, but never remember

8:15 am

of course, ruby - no one else would want to read it - probably have to censor some of them : )

8:15 am

better than crying

8:16 am

I love when I dream about my long-deceased mother or gransmother

8:16 am

yes, they come right back to you -

8:57 am

his pics are cute!

8:58 am

Yep, he is a honey. Last week he enjoyed the slides at the little kid playground. He would get to the bottom, squealing, then flip over and try to climb back up. Only 14 months old.

marty, my cat who's been sick, started having these twitches last night, his brain giving his body shocks, every minute or so.

12:39 pm

oh no, that's not good...poor kitty

12:40 pm

i thought this meant this would be the end for him but apparently it MAY be nothing more than an electrolyte imbalance... will know more tomorrow when we see blood results

12:41 pm

but they were asking about his appetite so now i'm feeling all anxious about that too and waiting for him to go eat

12:42 pm

nothing worse than being on wait and watch duty...hope it's just an imbalance and easily fixed

12:42 pm

thanks i hope so too!

12:43 pm

i'm just sitting here

12:44 pm

i couldn't go to work but i did do some at home

12:44 pm

i don't want to read

12:44 pm

i've found the easy wrods

12:44 pm

i don't want to do anything but i need to pass the time

12:45 pm

it's such a conundrum when everything drives you crazy

12:45 pm

oh hursh, sorry you are having to go through this, and your kitty too!

12:47 pm

thanks

1:47 pm

2:19 pm

Hi Flosey : )

My desk at home is a mess.

2:21 pm

Ah yes, mine tends to be a "catch all".

2:21 pm

2:22 pm

When I cleaned out my office at work, I dumped a lot of stuff randomly at home; time to make sense of it.

2:22 pm

hi all

2:22 pm

hi jmc!

2:22 pm

2:23 pm

2:23 pm

I am a little old and a lot not interested - leaving the public office-holding to Frank (who is on the county board)

2:24 pm

good for him

2:24 pm

i admire people who can stand the BS required to serve in elected office

2:24 pm

Okay, I'll take Frank in your place. Anything would be an improvement over the current resident.

2:24 pm

2:24 pm

hello all....can someone give me stats for the y please?

2:25 pm

3:05 pm

Hi, everyone! It has been SO long since I spoke to you!

3:08 pm

3:08 pm

Hi, Annie!

Wow. I remeber years ago it was 104 in NYC and I thought that was the end. lol

3:11 pm

Thank goodness I have Safeway.com delivering my groceries!

3:11 pm

Are you still working from home?

3:12 pm

Yes...love the good doc but still cannot understand the alien chipmunk doc...going to have to tell my boss I just won't do her anymore and she may not keep me but it's too stressful and my reputation as well as legal liability are involved.

Oh, my word! I am sorry to hear that, Rose.

11:10 pm

wow, how stupid can someone be

11:11 pm

peach, i am sorry mother mac is ill, but her daughter just has to learn for herself what happens when you don't control mother's sugar intake.

11:11 pm

just when I think I've heard the daftest thing another boob comes along to top it

11:12 pm

ummmm, pretty stupid, apparently. daughter was up until 1:30am in the emergency room.

11:12 pm

gee whiz, GR. And I thought some of my relatives were obtuse

11:12 pm

Would she listen to the doctor? I feel sure he would not approve of that.

11:13 pm

how about listening to the long term caretaker whom is also a long term nurse

11:13 pm

i have told her and told her. she just won't listen. the doctor's....that's another kettle of fish, they don't see the co-relation between mother mac's flare-ups and her diet.

Granny, do you have that nasty cold or flu virus that seems to make everyone (that I know of, anyway) cough so hard they just want to blow out a lung and die? It's a miserable bug this year....

11:19 pm

Hey there, Nef.

11:19 pm

hi peach

11:20 pm

11:24 pm

hm. no hard liquor in the apartment any more... but I have lemons.

11:24 pm

you do realise it is the wrong season for colds and flu over here? that's what makes this so weird.

11:24 pm

*looking pitifully at Tom*

11:24 pm

viruses don't really know seasons...

11:24 pm

ooohhh, home-made lemonade....fell in love with that on our last cruise.

11:25 pm

I know! But it seems as though even drinking a river never seemed to quench my thirst when I had it last spring. And stud; do you think that the te5ing is what exposed you to the viruses? I've been told the first years of te5ing and the first years of attending school are when a person is sicker than any other time in their lives.

11:25 pm

throw them at him....

11:26 pm

I am CERTAIN it was the kids... one of them was absent four days last week with the first virus I had (it was worse than this one). Not sure which little darlin' shared the current one with me.

And I have been in the schools for well over a decade now -- I won't be as bad off as most people just entering schools. But one of the school secretaries today suggested I am stressed out (yes, in a good way, I am) and I know that lowers the immune system a lot.
