Flip!

12:00 am

hello all

12:01 am

Hi ursh

12:03 am

One of my favorite lines from "Dirty Harry" --- "I GOTS to know."

12:04 am

flip, hi everyone

12:04 am

"Last month, at the be6 of the Vulcan ambassador, I opened a dialogue with Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council." yay

12:05 am

That's a really old movie, chi; I have enough trouble remembering any lines from recent films.

12:05 am

hi flosey

12:05 am

but what about star trek SIX nef, surely you remember lines from star trek SIX!

12:06 am

sorry, hurshy, I didn't see that yet.

12:07 am

oh well you should it's fab

12:07 am

the last of the old cast all together, and a very fine finish it was

12:09 am

was that the one with the humpbacks?

12:09 am

hello everyoe

12:09 am

I will put it on my list, hurshy. I know I missed a lot of movies working the evening & night shifts all those years. And I haven't caught up with many of them yet on Netflixs yet

12:09 am

hi Nan

12:09 am

no, four was the one with the humpbacks

12:09 am

Hi nan

12:10 am

five was dreadful, shatner directed and it is not worth watching AT ALL

12:10 am

See, now hurshy, I did see the one with the humpbacks

12:10 am

the humpback one is also great :)

12:11 am

It was a very good show.

12:12 am

But TNG was just as good . . IMO

12:13 am

oh i love TNG, for sure

12:13 am

but MOVIE wise, their movies are fine but don't necessarily stand out as classics. the show was based a lot more on character development, so it was less suited to a feature film format

12:14 am

setto

12:14 am

settos

12:14 am

sorry

12:14 am

teehee

in8

12:16 am

I didn't see TNG as a movie, but I saw some of the TV shows & I liked some of the characters but not the plots as much

12:17 am

I love Star Trek , not so much the movies but all the shows - I have them all on DVd

12:17 am

yep, it was character-driven, not plot. but if you want, i can give you a list of all the episodes i think are worth watching.

Clues are up

12:18 am

thanks Lickety

12:18 am

Hi all and thanks, Lickety

12:19 am

Hi Liz

12:19 am

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to need those clues for this one

12:20 am

hurshy, I would find that interesting; but right now I rarely get a chance to watch TV. Between DH being sick & my son & grandson moving in with us again (it was my idea) I just don't have the time now.

12:20 am

Thanks, Lickety.

12:21 am

gh 6/7

12:21 am

thanks diz

12:26 am

E's?

12:26 am

i would assume an e after bh. but you never know.

12:27 am

Florence was hot and sooooo crowded last time I was there

12:28 am

In 2014, we had a hailstorm in Florence and another one 3 days later in Venice.

12:30 am

we were in both a year ago september -- Venice was the more croweded at that time of year. Lots of great museums and galleries in Florence though if the weather is bad.

12:31 am

I prefer the mystery and romance of wandering the streets and canals, especially at night

12:31 am

I'm glad we went to Venice just for the experience. We spent 5 days there and have no desire to return.

12:32 am

Hello ampersand & eeeeve — welcome to Babble :-P

12:32 am

We did Northern Italy + Venice in 2014, and Southern Italy + Venice in 2015

12:33 am

2:16 am

i know she wants to come but it depends on Roy and Barb.

2:17 am

she is wayyyy overdue for paid annual leave.

2:17 am

true, dat.

2:18 am

all has to be planned around her commitment to the camping grounds too.

2:19 am

I, on the other hand, am easy ;)

2:19 am

You've had some help from me as well.

6:59 am

Try Mike DeLuca, Weymouth.

got it thanks

7:01 am

How do you like BigY?

7:02 am

will do, thanks! I have found the key to plumbers and such is getting them to call you back

7:02 am

I am NEVER up that end of things, grant, so I have not yet been in. My work takes me past assinippi, and thus S&S, and both my mum and my gym are nearer to shaws, so I seem to duck in there for food.

7:04 am

tell me about it. We waited or 6 weeks to get an electrician to come to our house. Anything from Thanksgiving through New Years is a no can do.

Good morning

8:31 am

morning car.

8:33 am

Hi kids.

8:37 am

good morning, dr scrabs!

8:38 am

Hi Eva and Kieran.

8:38 am

at home with him today. poor lil man has a little cold.

8:39 am

Yesterday I had to convince a breast feeding mother to add formula. Her 5 week old is 13 oz below birth weight. She was crying but he NEEDS nutrition.

8:39 am

Poor Kieran.

8:40 am

we had to introduce formula in the hospital. i didnt like it, but you do whatcha gotta do for your baby!

8:41 am

Hello Scrabs!

8:41 am

Hi Eva!

8:41 am

Hello everyone....got distracted fora bit...sorry

8:41 am

Yes, that is what I told her at the last visit but she refused to add formula and yesterday I insisted.

8:41 am

Hi Car!

8:43 am

as a parent, you gotta put your wishes and ideas of perfect parenting asde.

8:45 am

I worry about my patients. They are "my" kids.

8:46 am

I made the decision early to not listen to every piece of "advice" but to my pediatrician and my sons

8:46 am

Yes, listen to your doc.

8:47 am

I figured the doc had been through this before...I certainliy had not!

8:47 am

You will hear so much false info from friends and family. "Old wives tales."

8:47 am

i love my ped because theyre very clear on differentiating doctors orders from suggestions.

8:47 am

and theyre happy to give you suggestions!

8:48 am

What is the name of your group? I would like to look at their website, in order to improve ours.

8:48 am

I am pleased with ours.

8:48 am

http://childrenfirstpediatrics.com/

8:52 am

i found them from a friends recommendation + have only been pleased so far!

8:53 am

Nice group. We have 2 lactation consultants as well. And we had a nutritionist as part of a group-wide obesity project but the results were grim. Her services were free but families and kids made no progress, showing that bad habits and lifestyles in families are difficult to change.

8:53 am

Finding the right MD is like a marriage.

8:54 am

morning all, just starting here

8:54 am

i really like the lactation consultant in my office. im no longer nursing (i found it stirred up my post-partum too much) and she supported that. we had already tried a plan of action + it didnt work for me.

8:55 am

Hi moo

8:55 am

hey scrab

8:56 am

there were so many little details about this office that i like + wouldnt have thought to ask about as a first-time parent. you can tell they know what theyre doing.

8:58 am

instead of a sick waiting room, they just have lots of patient rooms. no one is in the waiting room longer than 5 minutes.

8:58 am

y have lactation rooms so you can nurse/pump before/after your appt.

8:58 am

they have already built sick appts into the doctors daily schedules so it doesnt usually throw off the scheduled appts.

8:59 am

36 to go

8:59 am

Nice. I am still reading their website.

8:59 am

their records are all medical so you can visit either office without an issue.

8:59 am

you can schedule appts up to a year in advance.

8:59 am

I like to learn how other practices manage things.

8:59 am

between the 2 offices, they have some sort of hours 7 days a week. their hours vary on different days so they can offer early and late hours.

9:00 am

they have a nurse line that is staffed all day that you can call for free -- because it is staffed, it doesnt pull nurses away from other tasks. and you can call after-hours for a fee, but they waive the fee for the first few months of your baby's life, or if they end up telling you to go to the ER.

9:01 am

We are soon to transition--oldest partner will retire in the next year, a PNP will retire in June, a PA is likely to retire in the next 1-3 years (mentally she has retired), we are hoping to sign on a new MD in a few weeks, we are looking for a new NP...

9:02 am

We do not charge for after-hours phone calls, in fact we PAY a triage service to take calls for US from 9pm-8am. I wish we could make the parents pay for phone calls but about 1/3 of our population is Medicaid. We are a rural practice--high poverty rate.

9:06 am

they explained that the reason they charge is for after-hours calls is to encourage folks to call during normal hours. the after-hours line is really intended for emergencies, which they dont charge for.

9:06 am

Just yesterday 3 of us were talking about the challenges of trying to educate uneducated parents that already think they know everything.

9:08 am

I wish we could do that, Eva. We get ridiculous phone calls--questions about Tylenol doses, diaper rashes, whether to send a kid to day care/school the next day, etc...questions that can be answered on our web site or by our triage nurses the next day when the office is open. I agree that if parents had to pay then they might think twice...or run to the ER because with Medicaid the cost is FREE!

9:09 am

Hey Scrabbler. I was at Margethe Laurenzi's house last night.

9:10 am

YOU know her too! So does Pam! Geez, what a small world. I grew up several houses away from her. My sister Lisa graduated from HS with her.

9:10 am

That's what she told me. So funny! She lives here in Mountain Lakes.

9:11 am

I know you two live in the same town but I didn't know that you know each other. I was the pediatrician for her youngest sister before I changed practices in 2009.

9:11 am

She said you were pediatrician for her kids. Maybe I misunderstood her. But just so funny. I didn't find out how she knows Pam

9:12 am

Small, small world!

9:12 am

She went to Princeton and Pam knows Princeton grads.

9:12 am

well, this is a small, small town. (1500 houses) It's amazing I never met her before.

9:13 am

Her son's at Princeton now too.

9:13 am

Of course, my parents knew her parents. Our mothers are still alive and living in the same homes.

9:13 am

Yes, her daughters went to Princeton too.

9:14 am

Nice. Gotta run. Yoga in 15 minutes!

9:15 am

Bye.

9:19 am

53 to go and I have slowed down.

9:22 am

alas, work beckons. gotta try to get something done while lil guy is asleep...

9:44 am

Mystry*

10:52 am

Geez I can not spell without the light on.

10:52 am

10:52 am

Hard to see the keyboard.

10:52 am

you just don't like vowels today zooz

10:52 am

Start with the first letter, Ruru!

10:54 am

I do not like vowels full stop lol Especially if they start like 'ae'

10:54 am

Teehee!

10:54 am

scrabs still here?

10:54 am

Yes.

10:55 am

i'm sorry... because I'm sure everyone asks.. but i have not seen you lately.. do you still get to see the boys now that the Mom has them again?

10:56 am

I saw them on Monday and will see them every Monday. Everyone is doing well.

10:56 am

great..that's great news.

10:57 am

I kind of grew up in the same situation as they did and had to live with my grandmother a while...i really get what they went through

10:57 am

They boys start at a new day care next week but just 2 days weekly. Mondays they are with mom, Tuesdays and Wednesdays they are with Dad (and Grandma) and Thursday/Friday they will be at day care.

10:57 am

Isaac Asimov also wrote some short story detective themed tales...which are pretty good

10:57 am

thanks mool

10:59 am

I worry most about the 4 yr old as he had behavior problems the last 6 mo--grief really. He is very sensitive. He seems happy to be home. He does not understand the flaws of his parents.

10:59 am

Both parents are making good progress...so far.

11:01 am

that's good.. it's not a great start for the little guy I'm sorry to say

11:13 am

(zooz is lost in the 80's pop scene)

11:13 am

Marmite is also very nice on an omelette too!

11:13 am

(imagines Zooz in a disco outfit)

11:13 am

We need to do an intervention with Zoom re: ABBA

11:14 am

with the disco ball LOL

11:14 am

(shock treatment is necessary for ABBA)

11:14 am

Big flared pants too!

11:15 am

LOL.. I can see you in those zooz

11:15 am

(with a big afro)

11:15 am

If you are going to be mean about Abba I might never try and give you clues again :D

11:15 am

clues vs abba... oh too bad ...

11:16 am

LOL

11:16 am

Mama Mia was the impetus for Trump to say that Streep was overrated :D

11:16 am

You can be very cruel, Ruru!

11:16 am

I am very cynical and sarcastic.. by nature

11:16 am

We like your clues Zoom. They are very helpful.

11:17 am

The stuff that is in the news about that man is relentless.

11:17 am

it's JUST beginning zooz.. it's going to be a very long 4 years

11:17 am

crisis: I am out of tonic

11:18 am

The liberal media is having a field day with Trump.

11:18 am

aaaaaahhhhhhh...peri is out of tonic!

11:18 am

Gin up, Peri..err I mean chin up, Peri : D

11:18 am

LOL....

11:18 am

Time for Peri to dig down to the real woman in her and drink the gin straight.

11:18 am

I will make do with a gimlet instead of a G&T

11:19 am

Is it going to be like a Richard Nixon do you think?

11:19 am

If you need tonic, or anything else, I would suggest a store run today. Tomorrow is supposed to be nasty.

11:20 am

more like Reagan I think Zooz

11:20 am

Oh I don't know Zoom. I don't think I would compare Nixon and Trump.

11:20 am

Nixon had a real mean streak

11:20 am

I already did my errands. I wil wait and see what the weather is like sat and sun

11:20 am

I mean as in a resignation.

11:21 am

oh.. I doubt it ... unless he's caught with a bunch of hookers

11:21 am

I wouldn't bet on Trump resigning.

11:21 am

He will never resign he is too full of himself

11:21 am

Peri, tomorrow is Saturday that is what I was talking about. The forecast is for ice and snow.

Criminal as Nixon to the nth degree.

hets

sorry

11:22 am

Hello, Kap :-)

11:22 am

I know Molly. but I will be ok. will check the weather over the weekend. the weather people are not always right

11:23 am

11:23 am

I like gin and I like fresh lime juice

11:23 am

Ah well, our area is supposed to have a nasty wintry mix. And the forecast looks spot on. So I am getting my errands run after work today.

11:23 am

a good Friday morning to everyone from under snow laden skies :-)

11:24 am

We had snow here too last night..It lasted for about 20 minutes then stopped.

11:24 am

Hello, Nan :-)

11:24 am

On the up side it won't be much accumulation and back up into the 60's by mid-week. Mild winter, mild winter, mild winter.

11:25 am

we have a heavy frost out here.. that's like snow to california

Paper says New England is going to warm more quickly than other parts of the planet. Snowless winters, and brutal summers.

11:25 am

Oh geeze, I hope it doesn't affect your fruit trees.

11:26 am

thanks for that news, kap.... :o|

11:26 am

Buy a spade, Ruru!

11:27 am

hi zooz...

11:27 am

Roll up your shirt and dig!

11:27 am

Wow, I have never heard of landscaping companies turning down business. Good for them.

11:28 am

maybe that means when you finally do get one, they'll do a decent job.

11:28 am

mild winter, mild winter,!!!

11:28 am

mild here today....35 F...but a noticeable wind....

11:29 am

or as zoom said, a spade....and fertilizer and topsoil, and plants, and mulch - oh and an uderground irrigation system while you are at it which of course involves more digging, pipes, emitters and glue...

11:29 am

39F here and blowing a hoolie here!

11:30 am

Blowing a hoolie sounds like such a dirty, dirty phrase. : D

11:30 am
