10:58 am

my on-time varies...

10:58 am

next time I am on I will type in Team Babble and if you would too. maybe we will be on at the same time. my name is periwinkle there too

11:25 am

sorry pen

11:25 am

ed5 is?

11:26 am

yes ed5 medical term for swelling

11:27 am

I know the word I thought it was a disease but maybe that is a different spelling?

11:35 am

morning all

11:35 am

hijes

11:35 am

hi jes ops

11:37 am

it's all kitties all the time here :)

11:40 am

jes what is the lefe expectancy of that cat do you know?

11:40 am

life sorry

11:41 am

ed6 clue pls?

11:41 am

Of the one in my profile? should be normal, as long as she's on her meds.

11:41 am

her lefse expectancy is zero though, we don't share that with cats :P

11:42 am

i've 2 ed6 - 1 is plural of ed5, othe other is past tense of ed4

11:42 am

ed6 is an anagram of the guest who hit the "bullseye" with a hatchet on the tonight show

11:42 am

yes the cat in your profile is so pretty

11:43 am

ty jes

11:43 am

welcome :)

11:45 am

she's a looker :) and cuddly to boot

11:45 am

what happened to her ear?

11:47 am

It was super ulcerated, so we took a notch to send for skin biopsy. And/or she got in a knife fight :)

11:48 am

aww poor kitty... is she adoptable at this point or still foster?

11:49 am

Theoretically adoptable, though the longer she stays here the less I want to let her go

11:50 am

how many fosters do you have now?

11:50 am

She may become a foster-fail :)

11:50 am

is their such a thing?

11:51 am

Current rescues are her, another cat (who is likely to be adopted after Christmas, but potential adopter is leaving town and didn't want to take him until she gets back), a raccoon who's now pretty well over his concussion and broken arm and a bat that I have no idea why he's here, other than he won't fly - no apparent injuries or illness, and he eats and gets around his enclosure just fine.

11:52 am

a bat? I would not feel comfortable they are a bit creep

11:52 am

sure. foster-fail is when the foster home adopts the fostered pet; for a lot of rescues that then means they can't (or won't) foster any more because they already have a full house.

11:52 am

wi 6/30, pls

11:52 am

vias

11:53 am

for me, it just means Spouse is a tiny bit more long-suffering :D

11:53 am

bats are adorable! though I will admit this one's a bit ... er... enthusiastic about noshing his meal worms

11:53 am

ohh I see jes just let the bat loose and the raccoon can adapt .. I had a neighbor growing up who had one as a pet until I think it got run over by a car or something

11:54 am

looking with you bichon

11:54 am

raccoon will get kicked out in the woods in the spring - I didn't figure it was fair to him to toss him out in this weather when he doesn't have a den set up. So he's basically just hanging out eating for a couple months.

11:55 am

jes that is very thoughtful of you.. I hope the raccoon isn't eating the furniture or clawing it?

11:56 am

someone was asking about mi8's earlier...

11:56 am

oh hell no. he lives outside, in a big pen with brush and climbing trees. he's meaner than crap, not a cuddly buddy.

11:56 am

clue: oops, we shouldn't have called him "Tiny", turns out he is a giant!

11:57 am

jes thank god he is outside but poor thing its cold

That is one gorgeous cat, jes!

11:57 am

yeah, but he has a hide box with like 4 inches of hay in, and a ready supply of calories. and warmed water every morning.

11:58 am

raccoons are NOT good indoor pets, even when they're bottle raised, and this one came in as a young adult.

11:58 am

Thanks, helen

11:58 am

I have 123 lefti I am going to go watch a football game not that I want as my husband doesn't realize I am pissed off at him still and I have to adapt to his ways like always

11:59 am

anyway nice talking to you jes I might be back I agree with helen,..poof

12:01 pm

well, try to enjoy the game a little, I guess?

12:01 pm

and to not actually murder the spouse...

I put that comment in, and then went back to catch up on your current rescues - hooray for you!

12:03 pm

Thanks, helen :) I'm looking at moving to Canada, if I can arrange it - any advice?

12:04 pm

Greetings, all!

12:05 pm

... depends on your reason .... if you are just trying to escape Trump where are you going to go if the Conservatives nominate Kevin O'Leary for leader and he wins the next election?

12:05 pm

nice kitties, everyone.

I understand immigration takes longer these days than it did in the 60s - but advice otherwise depends on what part of Canada you have in mind!

12:07 pm

We rescued a salamander this morning. It was in the garage. We placed it back in the leaf litter.

12:07 pm

well, hoping everyone will be watching the shitshow here and realize that's not a good way to go, I guess, dose. At some point people have to get that?

12:08 pm

... I doubt that very much ... recent poll ... one American in six beleives that a military dictatorship would be better than the present system .... probably higher here

Alberta offers a lot of places to live in the woods, I must admit - same for Manitoba and British Columbia. Probably Ontario and points east as well, but I don't know them well.

12:09 pm

BC - I'm about 2 hours south of the border now, so moving a bit north would still be in range of visiting family. Beyond that, well, basically wherever someone needs another veterinarian. And given that we have clients who drive down from canada, I imagine that demand exists.

12:09 pm

well that's depressing, dose

12:10 pm

... I'm very depressed ...

Vets are much in demand all over Alberta and BC - and in rural areas a vet who is actually interested in the little animals and wild animals is especially desirable. We have too many who think animals that aren't earning money for the ranchers are not desirable!

12:12 pm

... one difference between Canada and the US is in the US you can go north south east or west and get somewhere ... Canada can almost be described as a 100 mile wide strip that runs from Atlantic to Pacific along the US border ....

12:12 pm

*passes dose a mug of tea*

I still think the next time Turks and Caicos asks to be a part of Canada, we say yes!

12:14 pm

Well, I do gotta charge for services, but mixed animal was always what I wanted to do, not a fall-back. The only problem I have with it is that I've developed a circulatory issue so can't work outside in the cold, or my fingers turn into rocks.

12:14 pm

... lovely country in central BC but not many people ... towns tend to be small and larger towns tend to be far apart ... I'm sure that they could always use another vet but it might not be the type of practice you want

12:14 pm

lol. Helen. And the U.S. could add Puerto Rico (just to keep up with the Joneses).

I thought you pretty much had!

12:14 pm

... would be warm ... but the stink about CPP and taking on debt would be sooooo boring

12:14 pm

small town is exactly what I want - the one I live in now is 3000 people. And other than the insane ratio of trump supporters here, I really like it.

12:14 pm

Puerto Rico has all the benefits of being a state, without paying any of the taxes.

12:16 pm

hah. hardly, judi. puerto rico gets shafted on so many things.... and most people (at least around here) don't even know it's got anything to do with the US.

12:16 pm

... then you can find lots of them ... invite yourself to weiki's house for a week ... she's in Kelowna ... you could likely get everywhere from there

The worst thing about taxes is that IRS will take it as given that you are just trying to evade their taxes - you have to keep on filing US returns every year, even if you never owe them a penny. A nuisance.

12:17 pm

heh. Kelowna is where the english language test I've gotta take to apply for immigration is held. I should see if Welki's available for lunch that weekend :)

Kelowna is gorgeous!

12:18 pm

Really? even if you have residency in another country and don't work in the US anymore? that's nuts.

12:18 pm

... yes ... that can be a serious problem and annoyance ... my cousin was born there when her father was in grad school ... 1948 ... she still has trouble from time to time at the border because she's on some list

12:19 pm

ah, border patrol... so much fun :)

12:19 pm

The IRS has endless and far-reaching tentacles.

Really nuts. And they go right off their heads if you try to renounce your US citizenship - it's at least 50/50 they will seize any of your bank accounts they can, just to make you prove to them that you're not trying to cheat.

12:19 pm

... unless you give up American citizenship it's annoying ... you obviously came here to escape taxes from the IRS ....

12:20 pm

hahaha. If I ever have an octopus I'll name it IRS, Judi :)

12:20 pm

heh. yes, dose... totally moving to a country with a much higher percentage tax rate to avoid taxes! :D

12:21 pm

... and you're assuming sanity because .... ???

12:22 pm

bad habit of mine, dose... i tend to assume people will be reasonable until proven otherwise.

12:22 pm

... oh well ... wife and child have just gone to the mall so I'm going to watch a few minutes of football and drink a beer ... luck to all

12:23 pm

enjoy the game :)

12:24 pm

hmm I wasn't set on whether or not to renounce US citizenship... that's a thing to think about.

12:24 pm

jes - are you aware that Kelowna is a 7 hour drive from Calgary --- 8 or 9 hours in winter conditions

12:24 pm

Yeah, I'm on the east side of the cascades

12:26 pm

in easter WA or Montana?

12:28 pm

Washington - it's about a 3-4 hour drive to Kelowna, I'd have to cross another set of mountains to get to Calgary, I think.

12:30 pm

yes - you would have to drive east to get to calgary if you are somewhere near Wenatchee -- Spokane is about 6 hours from Kelowna

12:30 pm

and I'm about 2 hours north of Spokane :)

Less time to get to Vancouver I think, but not a lot less.

12:30 pm

it's a straight shot up the highway to canadian border from here

12:30 pm

still 6 hours to here - maybe longer if you are off the autoroute

You don't have to make any decision about citizenship for at least three years after you enter Canada - lots of time to think about it all. And dual citizenship isn't much of a pain, come to that.

12:32 pm

yeah; I was looking at the permanent residency, so a while of actually living there before they'd even let me apply for citizenship

12:34 pm

is your family in Spokane?

12:35 pm

my brother is, nan, but my folks are actually a bit north of me, and most of the rest of my family is over on the coast, except for a few outliers who moved to texas for some reason.

12:35 pm

so are you hoping to find work in alberta or BC?

12:35 pm

BC

12:36 pm

Though I wouldn't rule out Alberta if there were a good job offer there.

12:37 pm

I would move to BC in a heartbeat

12:37 pm

As hellen said - Kelowna is a lovely place to live -- the reason it is such a popular holiday destination and very very expensive -- we pay a hefty sunshine tax!

12:38 pm

Sunshine tax?....

There's a perpetual shortage of vets in cities, but rurally it's variable, and changes over time, sometimes quite quickly. But there's a general shrotage, so it's usually a question of which little town.

12:39 pm

well, maybe we can be neighbors, ruru :)

Fingers are obviously not at their best - better to have lunch! Have a great day, all - and I look forward to hearing more about your search, jes.

12:40 pm

have fun, helen :)

12:43 pm

sunshine tax = tourist pricing

12:43 pm

ok peri said... long in words including a 9... and ni9... i think

12:43 pm

Ah.

12:45 pm

sigh

12:46 pm

Do they do differential pricing for locals, Nan? that was always amusing in St. Kitts.

12:49 pm

well at least KC and the Sunshine Band couldn't live ther3e

12:49 pm

so.... i don't remember the clues... anyone want to clue 9's?

12:51 pm

Right side boxes blacked out. Hope the grid doesn't tilt too much.

12:51 pm

I only have one hursh

12:51 pm

I haven't any, hursh, sorry

12:51 pm

o judi have ke4, ky4/5, what are the other k's?

12:51 pm

in9... not out+ not mom beginning + were diamonds are found

12:51 pm

thank you ru!

12:52 pm

thanks, ru :)

12:52 pm

that is all of the i words!

12:52 pm

where diamonds I meant

12:52 pm

i just got up

12:52 pm

I haven't slept till ten in years

12:52 pm

i figured it out :)

12:53 pm

close enough, ruru, the clue worked :)

12:54 pm

and got me to half way, so thanks for that!

12:54 pm

i'm thinking of going up to BC for a quick vacation after new years

12:55 pm

i did morewords

12:55 pm

yeah, me too - to take the english competency test! :D though it won't be until the end of january, so I guess it probably doesn't count as new years any more

12:56 pm

Yikes. Just got really dark and windy here. Thunderstorm brewing?

12:56 pm

jeez. I'm not sure I could pass an English competency test

12:57 pm

start like leonard who played spock, then finish with the quality of reverence or devoutness p---- for ni7, then plural

12:58 pm

that's a weird word, thanks, hursh :)

12:59 pm

I'll have to add it to my vocabulary and see how many people I confuse :)

12:59 pm

i haven't figured it out yet

12:59 pm

we did a sample test, ruru, and it seemed pretty straightforward.

1:00 pm

we4, wi4...

1:00 pm

what are the other 2 W

1:00 pm

you really are thinking of moving up there?

1:00 pm

how cool is that

1:00 pm

Yeah, I am

1:01 pm

Off to wrap some presents. Later, kids! *POOF*

1:02 pm

have fun, Judi!

1:03 pm

you don't really need to wrap them for me judi..

1:06 pm

though selling the clinic may become a bit of a sticking point.

1:07 pm

i wondered about that

1:08 pm

found a purchasing group that said they'd consider, but they want a 3 year contract with me to stay and work - which rather defeats the point

1:08 pm

can you negotiate a year or a year and a half

1:09 pm

not sure - they also haven't come up with a price yet, so we'll see if it's worth it.

1:10 pm

whatwhatwhat? Why does Enable not know fewmet? that's disgraceful.

1:10 pm

maybe work there during the week and spend three day weekends in Canada for the start

1:10 pm

what is fewmet?

1:10 pm

enable doesn't know hitmen either

1:10 pm

hah. yeah, that's lots of driving and crossing the border...

1:11 pm

fewmet = scat, or fecal traces

1:11 pm

once the border people know you .. i hear it's not a big deal,

1:11 pm

yeah, i tried that one too, ruru, and figured the dictionary just thinks it's two words for some reason

1:11 pm

yuck

1:12 pm

it's a great word, hursh! I remember learning it from A Wrinkle In Time when I was a kid :)

1:12 pm

i remember learning that the shortest distance between two points is not a line but a wrinkle... but somehow overlooked fewment

1:12 pm

fewmet

1:13 pm

heh. it was how they knew there was a dragon about.

1:13 pm

I'm not allowed to joke here any more about scat

1:13 pm

it's also possible that i remember really odd things ;)

1:13 pm

ella fitzgerald

1:13 pm

well, now you have a new word that you can use instead!

1:14 pm

ella's voice is amazing

1:15 pm

phantom: dminishi

1:15 pm

mean diminish

1:16 pm

i always think "mewn" should be the kittens having made a sound

1:16 pm

the cloth was sewn, the cat hath mewn

1:17 pm

if you aren't allergic to cats are you immewn?

1:17 pm

hahaha

1:18 pm

ni n

1:18 pm

oops, playing with grandson on lap

1:18 pm

hi aloy :)

someone from out o f state backed into my car today and denied they hit me.

hey owl - that video was *distasteful* *lol*

6:45 pm

oh noooo! so sorry!

what a craphead.

6:45 pm

ty gwen

6:46 pm

aw crap, owl - ho ho ho :(

6:46 pm

any damage?

6:46 pm

some people have no shame

he showed me a MI state id card. guess that means he has no license

6:46 pm

no conscience, and no sense of right from wrong

yes, and with an old car and repairs costing an arm and a leg.

6:47 pm

did he, at least, show you an insurance card?

oh, his wife was worse. she clamied the damage was old

nbs woot

6:48 pm

hope you got the car license # to turn over to the police

yes in his "wife's" name. no registration. when it is an out of state thing, you are doomed

i would have to go eo michigan to sue

Michigan has nasty car insurance laws that require drivers to carry insurance so expensive that a lot of us drive without it. (I'm insured at the moment but have often lost it due to not being able to afford it.)

6:49 pm

couldn't you have them charged with leaving the scene of an accident with the local police? - I'm assuming they wouldn't wait until the police arrived

Then if you get pulled over with expired insurance the tickets can cost up to $500

nan: parking lots are private property.

6:50 pm

here, minimum penalty for no insurance totals $2875.00

(This may have nothing to do with your craphead but they may be trying some kind of scam, who knows)

6:51 pm

wouldn't want to drive with no insurance anyway -- I'd rather use public transpor

egads welki!!

6:51 pm

second offence, $5000 and it goes upppp and upppp

i may have to start using public transport -- my car is on its last legs, or wheels, whatever

6:51 pm

yeah, gwen has a point, i've heard of those sorts of 'accidents' - did they get your info?

then again, welki, you guys have decent medical. in michigan, the high insurance rates are tied into having to cover medical. it's crazy.

6:53 pm

our medical program isn't all that it's cracked up to be. canadian medical is run by each individual province, so what you'd be covered for in, say, ontario, differs greatly in alberta, british columbia, etc.

6:53 pm

maybe our car insurance isn't as high as yours? - ours runs about $900 on each car with $300 deductable.

6:54 pm

nan - i was talking about penalties for getting caught with an uninsured vehicle (insurance in alberta is expensive, too, though)

Michigan rates are all over the map. if you have a crappy car and you ask for the lowest coverage and you have good medical insurance already and a good driving record you can get "low" insurance, about $100-$150/mo

6:55 pm

do you still have collision on your car, owl?

6:55 pm

yes I realized that, welki -- didn't notice much difference in rates when we moved to BC -- mind you that was 25 years ago!

however, a high-value car, or having no medical insurance, or other factors can drive up your rates. My previous company quoted my $1900 for a six-month policy which is why i had to drive without insirance for a while as I hunted for better policy elsewhere

*quoted me

7:00 pm

seems to me your outrageous medical costs are the root of a lot of evils. Don't think the doctors should be allowed to charge such outrageous fees.

i agree, cybernan -- but i lay the blame also on insurance companies (they make more money if they keep you sick and out of the hosp) and pharma companies (they make more money selling you palliatives rather than cures)

7:05 pm

still - my friend was charged $600 for a shot of antibiotic and 5 stiches in her finger when she was in Palm Desert --- that would have come under medicare here, therefore "free" and having required medical care in the UK and France while visiting, I'm pretty sure the tab would have been around $50 in either of those countries

if you cannot afford insurance, you should not drive.

our medical "system" is still for profit -- apart from some so-called free clinics I've heard about but never actually found -- and it's pretty disgusting

btw car insurance for a newer car here is $250-$300 permonth

many people in michigan drive without insurance, when I had to go to court for my ticket ahead of me they had case after case, same issue, judge gave us something called an "attempt" which means we attempted to get insurance but could not afford, and got a lesser fine. So there's that.

7:15 pm

our doctors in BC have a salary cap

7:15 pm

Note to self. Don't visit michigan

we need to outlaw rip-off insurance policies and strictly regulate the rest of them so people can get them and so they pay when they're supposed to

in all my years driving i have only made one insurance claim -- this should count in my favor somehow

7:17 pm

87 to go

7:17 pm

I pay about 2200 annually for two cars tot

7:18 pm

Total that is

that's about $92/mo -- count yourself lucky LOL

7:18 pm

that's in line with us, ru -- you probably pay extra for the rag to[

7:19 pm

*top

7:19 pm

I pay less than that for three vehicles, Ru, but I get a multiple policy (homeowner's) discount.

7:21 pm

ok - I've had enough of this - see you at the flip

night nan

7:23 pm

I get a multiple policy too. I just live in the Bay Area where insurance rates are much higher I think

7:26 pm

do you have earthquake insurance Kama?

7:26 pm

Could be, but I'm only about 100 miles east of you. But, the third vehicle is old and doesn't have physical damage coverage. Depends on company and vehicles. But, I got an Outback for my birthday, and that is what drove the premium up. You really have to keep a close eye on the renewal info each year too, my company keeps upping the mileage and I have to call and get it down to reality - every six months!

7:28 pm

Nope, too expensive for where we are. History doesn't support heavy damage in our area - we're on solid rock. But if the Sierras decide to move, oh well

7:28 pm

if you are on solid rock.. you probably are fine

7:29 pm

I had to get some here.. didn't have a choice. i'd have nowhere to live otherwise :D

7:29 pm

Mortgage company required it? Not surprising, with housing prices the way they are.

7:30 pm

no.. not required.. but I felt it would be safer for me to be able to rebuild

7:31 pm

I can't insure the Pool though.. if it goes it goes I guess

7:31 pm

TO.. does your policy have coverage for uninsured Motorists that hit you?

7:32 pm

My career was IT for insurance, so I'm well aware of the risks, and quake damage here is so rare that we decided not to get the coverage. I have to shop for homeowner's next renewal though, the Valley and Butte fires almost doubled our premium.

7:32 pm

yeah.. I bet Fire insurance up your way is a real factor

7:33 pm

That comes with the associated coverages - $3500 limit if you don't have comp & collision, otherwise deductible waived, but only if the uninsured person is identified and verified.

7:33 pm

Oops, you were talking to TO.

7:34 pm

I got hit by a guy in SF.. and fortunately it was the same insurance company I have.. they did try to take shortcuts repairing my car and I wouldn't allow it. I never file claims otherwise

7:34 pm

Father-in-law had no coverage for the properties the Butte took. I guess he didn't know about the special CA plan when everyone else refuses to write the property. Any rebuilding WILL be covered - if I have any say in the matter!

7:35 pm

They always try...

7:35 pm

yeah.. it's creepy to me after they take money year after year and then when it's time to do their job.. they try to shaft you

7:38 pm

I don't envy the folks who have to try to settle total losses - you've got to make your boss happy AND make the customer happy. The two don't go hand-in-hand!

i have full coverage. but i think he had no license. wife came out and started bitching, claiming it was old damage and they could not possibly have done it. he had a jacked up pickup and did not feel the impact

and just drove on

7:43 pm

how did you stop them to get their info

we were both looking for parking, he stopped to look and i got out and confronted him

7:43 pm

turn them into the police then.. if he had no license.. if he doesn't have a license there maybe reasons for that too

7:44 pm

oh good TO.. call your insurance company to take them to task..

again, a parking lot is private property and police do not get involved, no video or anything

7:44 pm

oh..

7:44 pm

then you have to let your insurance company take care of the whole mess then

but when the wife started her act they took pity on me and wrote up a report of some kind for the insurance company

7:45 pm

You should be able to make a counter report with the police or sheriff - if he has no insurance, the insurance company might require the report - call your insurance tomorrow!

just got off the phone with them

7:45 pm

Good!

7:45 pm

good for you TO..

but my car is old and even minor repairs to a plastic front end are costly

i worry they will write it off.

7:47 pm

what's the value of the car? plastic fronts are usually $2-3K

when it is an out of state driver, things get tricky if you have to go after them. from bitter experience

7:47 pm

yes

7:48 pm

hello friends. sorry to hear of your hassles, TO, what a huge bummer!

i am embarrassed to say. i just do not want to give it up but it is way past time

7:48 pm

oh.. ok.. i'm fond of my old truck too.. I wouldn't want to give it up either

always bad to be forced to car shop.

probably about 4

7:49 pm

Good luck - I hope it's repairable. My 20-yr-old car totaled itself - the AC compressor died and the repairs cost more than Blue Book. Hubby took pity on me and I got the new car I wanted. After spending three months convincing him!

good, k,

7:49 pm

maybe they can fix it for less than you think To

7:50 pm

i'm off to make dinner.. have a good night everyone

7:50 pm

have a nice dinner ruru

7:50 pm

See you later, Ru. Enjoy your dinner!

it's an accord coupe and it was my miracle car, the deal was incredible. i had a wreck and it was totaled and the ex took the insureance $

so i was forced to car shop.

ty trif

7:54 pm

Ouch about the ex, TO. What year Accord? My old car is a '96 Civic - need to get the title cleared up and get it sold to a high school kid who doesn't need AC. It only has 147,000 miles on it. Hondas hang on forever, usually.

2002

i was planning to give it to my nephew

7:55 pm

Darn, hope the repairs don't total it. Is it still safe to drive?

but it was the answer to a prayer, coming along when i needed it at a fab price

oh yes, as far as i can see just cosmetic, but you know how those plastic parts are.

it does not look like much, but you know that does not mean it does not cost much

8:00 pm

phantom- diminish

8:00 pm

Let the insurance folks take a look. You could opt for used parts if they can be found in the same condition as the damaged parts to keep them from totaling it. I hope it doesn't come to that.

ty k. now i must apologize to all for airing my troubles. happy babbling

8:20 pm

TO it's no worries :-)

8:50 pm
