how many litter boxes do you have? ever try changing litter type/brand? sometimes they'll associate the box or sand with the discomfort of the infection/crystals.
12:22 am
Jellen
Oh Franny, I've never had to deal that!
12:22 am
MonkeyMind
wow. that's interesting jes..
12:22 am
jesdraggon
make sure you have multiple boxes, preferably in multiple rooms, and try several different types of litter to see if he likes one kind more
12:22 am
jillibus
I have nothing bigger than a 5!
12:23 am
MonkeyMind
hmmm. still missing one of the 7's
12:23 am
jesdraggon
if he has a place that he regularly pees now, either block off access to it, or put a litter box there.
12:23 am
saintfranny
hmm Diff kinds of liter in each box. hadn't thought of that
12:24 am

pick up or block access to anything even remotely litter-like (laundry, recycle paper, newspaper, shredded paper, the hermit crab cage/gravel...)

but he's been doing the peeing Long before this. and what's up with him going on the kitchen table??? like, On things that are on there - papers, other stuff.
12:27 am

I used Pura cat litter its great. It clumps vertically so you can easily poop a scope it out.
12:27 am

pheromone spray. ok. we tried one of those things that plug in - did nothing.

hard to say, saint. maybe he likes paper? try putting shredded paper or a paper-based litter in one of the boxes maybe

I use World's Best Cat Litter (yes, that's the brand name) - corn based so safe if they eat it off their paws, clumping, flushable, pretty good odor control
12:29 am
jesdraggon
are all the other animals neutered?
12:29 am
saintfranny
i need to write some of these brand names down!
12:29 am
jesdraggon
does he go outside at all or is he strictly indoors?
12:29 am
saintfranny
yes, all are neutered, as is he
12:29 am
saintfranny
Strictly indoors
12:29 am
jesdraggon
heh. just go to the store and buy one of everything ;)
12:29 am
Ornith
you definitely need something to clean away the smell (they make special products) - DON'T use ammonia-based anything, that smells like cat pee
12:29 am
jillibus
ornith -- that sounds great
12:30 am
jesdraggon
then keep the brand the cats like best :)
12:30 am
saintfranny
LOL no lie jes! i literally think i just might!
12:30 am
herinfernallady
I will use the same litter for a week and scoop the clumps out ever day. I use the little tie sanitary bags to put the kitty stuff in it (also stinky proof)
12:30 am
herinfernallady
Jes i do that with cat food
12:31 am
saintfranny
no, i know ornith. i recently learned about the hydo. perox. a cat person told me that stuff like nature's miracle isn't so good b/c sometimes the cats Like that scent

yeah jilli, I'm really happy with that - that and febreeze and I only have to mess with it once a week, no smell even in my studio apartment

if all else fails, you can rip out all your carpet, put in linoleum or laminate flooring, only have wooden furniture, and make sure you clean everything every day ;)

Um lady's sanitary disposable bags. Kinda like a little nappy bag
12:32 am

Jes did you just get another new pet?

sometimes a cat will pee in weird places because he's upset, or because he's sick, or because the litter box isn't clean enough - anything new like that?

well we don't have carpet, just some rugs, one of which i've already thrown out. about ready to replace the other one too actually. found a cheap one in the kmart ad i actually like. and frankly we May have to get new furniture!
12:36 am
jesdraggon
so if all that stuff doesn't change things, i'd suggest getting a referral from your vet to a behaviourist.
12:36 am

I have a great German stew recipe that you cook for 5 hours... use one bottle of Killian Red for thickening, golden mushroom soup, Lipton's onion soup mix, potatoes, carrots, onions, stew meat that has been dredged in flour, salt, pepper, then braised in vegie oil, fresh garlic, parsley cooked slowly on top of stove in cast iron dutch oven
1:15 am
FranMag
wow, that sounds good. what's killian red? a beer?
1:15 am
jillibus
I make a great stew in the microwave
1:15 am
VolleymomDee
dash of cayenne pepper for "heat", water added if beer doesn't keep potatoes "wet" enough
1:16 am
GroovyKiwi
i have a really great one that uses frozen schnitzel, oxo cubes, onions, carrots and a crockpot lol
1:16 am
VolleymomDee
yes, a beer that makes a gorgeous color of broth/gravy
1:16 am
VolleymomDee
I don't think we have frozen schnitzel here, sounds good
1:16 am
GroovyKiwi
its just the schnitzel cut of beef = the really thin stuff
1:17 am
VolleymomDee
didn't know that, thanks! sounds good
1:17 am
jillibus
well, I have at least one word for each available tile and eyes are slamming shut so night all!

MVA

1:17 am
FranMag

1:17 am
FranMag

1:20 am
GroovyKiwi
that i dont have lol
1:21 am
FranMag
we'll probably get on sooner or later, my husband and I always look at them when we go shopping.
1:23 am
FranMag
jellen, you're always talking about foraging for your meals, it's no wonder you don't use your crock pot. :-)
1:24 am
Jellen
I just can't get motivated to cook for one.
1:25 am
FranMag
jellen, did you see that book i recommended to jilli? it's on my to-read shelf: alone in the kitchen with an eggplant
1:26 am
Jellen
I saw the title. Should I check it out?
1:26 am
FranMag
it was on a cooking blog i read, supposed to be short stories about cooking for one with recipes.
1:26 am
FranMag
it reminded me of the times i used to housesit for people
1:26 am
Jellen
Putting on my to-read list now.
1:27 am
VolleymomDee
kiwi do you cook your stew on low?
1:27 am

1:29 am
GroovyKiwi
oh gee fran have fun lol
1:29 am
VolleymomDee
I'll have to try that. Do you ever use the new cooking bags for crockpots? My brother loves them, says their claim of no clean up is 100% tr4/5
1:29 am
Jellen
Bye, Fran. Good luck with that! lol
1:29 am
GroovyKiwi
well i didnt know they did them - dont think they have arrived over here yet lol
1:29 am
FranMag
thanks everyone! i'll report back later! :-)
1:30 am
GroovyKiwi
dee have you done meatloaf in a crockpot?
1:31 am
VolleymomDee
very new here... he said in Pittsburgh they cost $2.47 US for 4 of them, but they were worth every penny. No, I never have... saw what you said earlier, and was thinking about trying it. Do you use same recipe as oven?
1:31 am
pigeonman
fireworks
1:31 am
GroovyKiwi
woohooo wtg pigeon ^5 - im about 25 behind you lol
1:31 am
Jellen
Congrats, pigeonman!
1:32 am
GroovyKiwi
$2.47 is about $5.00NZ not too bad i guess
1:32 am
pigeonman
Pretty good for me. Started a half hour late. 210 words in 1 hour 1 minute. (Pats self on back)
1:33 am
VolleymomDee
impressive! He hates clean up and has zero time, so said it was worth it for him (also cooking for one)
1:33 am
pigeonman
Anyone need a clue before I go?
1:33 am
GroovyKiwi
1 meatloaf recipe - 2 eggs (i usually use 3) 2 slices bread ripped into small chunks 2 pounds hamburger (mince for us lol) 1 small onion chopped milk as needed salt and pepper to taste kethup on top
1:33 am
GroovyKiwi
ketchup lol
1:34 am
GroovyKiwi
beat eggs add bredcubes. Add enough milk to moisten all. Season. Add hamburger and onion, squish all together with hands.
1:34 am
pigeonman
Is it ketchup or catsup? I've seen it both ways. Are they both correct?
1:34 am
rururocks
the ar 6 24 pigeon
1:34 am
GroovyKiwi
place in crockpot, flatten and pour ketchup on top - enough to cover completely. Cook on slow for 8-10 hours.
1:34 am
GroovyKiwi
either way is fine
1:34 am
GroovyKiwi
sometimes we even use barbeque sauce for the kids
1:35 am
VolleymomDee
sounds similar to mine... just use tomato paste in lieu of ketchup and a little worchestershire; I'll try the crockpot; sounds like a great idea. You don't add any water for crockpot?
1:35 am
pigeonman
Same first three letters as the word before it. Then letters that usually have to do with peeing.
1:36 am
pigeonman
Lousy clue, but the best I could come up with.
1:36 am
GroovyKiwi
nope no water
1:36 am
pigeonman
Gotta run. See you all Friday. Luck to all.
1:36 am

hydra
You're not alone, tragic :)
3:17 am
tragicstud

3:17 am
tragicstud
it seemed like it for a bit there :)
3:17 am
tragicstud
5 silent minutes are long silent minutes in here
3:18 am
hydra
I'd been zapping in the words and not reading the chat and suddenly I saw your plea for company!
3:18 am
tragicstud
but it's like staying up to read... atleast i had the grid to keep me company
3:18 am
lynxxx
is does get quiet at this time - till the UK contingent arrives
3:18 am
tragicstud
it's noon there, isn't it?
3:18 am
hydra
OMG, am I the only Brit on the grid? Seems like it.It's 9am here.
3:19 am
lynxxx
It's 6.00 pm in Aust
3:19 am
tragicstud
interesting... it's only a 5 hour difference
3:19 am
tragicstud
wow- and i didn't realize it was a 14 hour difference between here and aus, though... it's big place, there's a few time zones, no?
3:20 am
hydra
Why are you still up at 3am stud?
3:20 am
tragicstud
dogs needed to pee
3:21 am
hydra
How many do you have?
3:21 am

Yes, we are the size of the US. Soon we go into daylight saving wich will confuse it a tad more
3:21 am
tragicstud
and then i wanted to tell my alaskan friend about a date i went on
3:21 am
tragicstud
1 dog, 1 pup
3:21 am
tragicstud

Ooh! Was it a good date?
3:22 am
hydra
Sorry. I'm being nosy!
3:24 am
tragicstud
don't apologize, i brought it up!
3:24 am
tragicstud
i think it went well...
3:25 am
tragicstud
it's kind of hard to say because she was the most comfortable person i've ever been around - which means that she either returns the feelings or is actually just the nicest and most amazing humans
3:25 am
hydra
Hope so. Then you can change your name to happystud!
3:26 am
tragicstud
heh- nah... i'll always be tragic
3:26 am
tragicstud
too big a heart
3:26 am

3:27 am
tragicstud
bye hydra
3:27 am
tragicstud

3:27 am
lynxxx
Sounds like a good date Tragic - either that or you have a great new friend
3:28 am
tragicstud
yeah- i've definitely gotten one or the other... and had an entire evening where i didn't compare the experience to what it was like to be with my ex
3:28 am
tragicstud
which is even better than having a great new friend
3:28 am
tragicstud
i've been working hard for that experience to happen
3:28 am
lynxxx
that definately sounds like progress!
3:29 am
tragicstud
and, friend or otherwise, this woman was beautiful
3:30 am
tragicstud
and it's never a bad thing to have spent a few hours with a beautiful and brilliant woman
3:31 am
lynxxx
that is a terrific combination - hope it progresses well for you

Alas. Some words make no sense. "Bodum" is a word, but it's not be accepted here. It's a coffee thingy.
10:59 am
inge
OK I chose sedate blue icon, for today. yes the nerf ball is exactly that
11:00 am

Is it a brand name that they don't recognize it here? They recognize a lot more odd things than nerf and smurf.

Nerf is a brand name. Bodum is not, so go figure. Just like some foreign words are allowed, but others aren't.

clue for be 4/8 please
4:15 pm
ch1212
Sprite, I translated the text -- what a delightful custom, though I wonder if some of the charms are not acidentally swallowed in the cake?
4:15 pm
sprite
ch1212, the translation (roughly) : Victorian brides give their bridesmaids and friends charms during the ceremony. (American custom). The silver charms, tied on a satin ribbon, were hidden in little cakes or petit fours. Each charm symbolises a hidden blessing. A heart for love, a telephone for good news, a rocking chair for a long life, a church for a happy marriage, a wishing well for wishes to come true, an anchor for future travels and a pineapple for friendship and hospitality.

lice is the plural of lo5.12 though

Hi, alison. Welcome!
5:55 pm

so, i'm new....and I have a few questions:
5:55 pm
Jellen
u + ra4/4 and plural
5:55 pm
elemce
go for it alison - we don't mind questions
5:56 pm
helenkeller
i gotta get something to eat - bbl
5:56 pm
ChrissieDee
Sandie - un =+ take away weapons , and plural
5:56 pm
alison45
the tiles at the bottom - why different letters with different numbers - (i know that you have words starting with m etc...but why 2 m's or 3 e's etc
5:57 pm
elemce
using the h in the top left corner, for example, you can look at the ties at the bottom and see how many words there are that start with that tile.
5:57 pm
Jellen
They are in the same order as the tiles in the grid. Each box tells how many words start from that tile.
5:57 pm
Sandieangel
FIREWORKS!!!!!!!! Ty all for helping me finish. My poor husband is snoring next to me. I don't think I'm the most popular wife just at the moment. LOL.
5:57 pm
elemce
when you get all the words that respond to that tile, the number at the bottom gets greyed out.
5:57 pm

Congrats, Sandie!!

6:12 pm
Dorens

6:13 pm
Jacula
Dorens - Have you got ne4/6? For ne5/14 add a vowel to end. For ne6/24 make the 5 a plural. For the following ne5 make the ne4 a plural.
6:13 pm
aknitter
add a plural to the ne 5/14

6:16 pm
Jacula
Dorens - I think she mend the cake as a metaphor.
6:16 pm
Jacula
Meant, not mend! (Unless there really was a cake!)
6:16 pm
aknitter
my car would not shift properly afterwards. the man at the garage told me that sometimes that type of crash screws with the cars computer. they will run a test or 2 on it tomorrow and let me know the cost of repairs. it needs obvious body work
6:16 pm
mrpresident

I have been able to do lots of nice cooking for the kids with her help of course

6:21 pm
Jacula
Too silly? How can Babblechat get too silly?
6:22 pm

6:46 pm
elemce

6:47 pm

6:47 pm
elemce
ty, ty, ty
6:47 pm
aknitter

6:48 pm
Jellen
Go, Stid racer!
6:48 pm
Jacula
Does poor elemce realise he/she has to add the replies up for the number of words? That's 630 words, elemce.
6:48 pm
Jacula
ONLY KIDDING!
6:48 pm
stidmama
I am glad you are assertive hurshy... too many people just assume "the doctor knows" all the time... with humans as well as animals.
6:49 pm
hurshy
i think you have to find a good balance. you want to be educated and assertive, but also respect expertise.
6:49 pm
pam
OK, I know this is not goodreads, but a) I can't go to that site until my life calms down, LOL and B) i just want to know if anyone has read Robert Goddard--mysteries, a British bloke.

speaking of goodreads, if anyone wants to do the book club thing, we're doing that on there too. i just got my copy of the meaning of everything tonight and have started! i'm so excited. i 've always wanted to do a book club.
6:53 pm
Jacula
hursh - feather was covered with baby sick and she ran through the log to share it with us all, saying, 'If I'm miserable, you lot should be, too!' or words to that effect.
6:53 pm
hurshy
yes but feather is one of those perfect angelic looking mothers who have hardly any troubles, i can sense it
6:53 pm
featherbee
i'm just feeling the love coming from the west stid!
6:53 pm

no jac, i think you got the words exactly!
6:53 pm

6:54 pm
featherbee
ak, at least i wasn't a scratch and sniff
6:54 pm
Jacula
feather - well, I see you didn't self-electrocute. I hope you didn't strangle your eldest either??
6:54 pm
Jellen
Congrats, Flask!!
6:54 pm
pam
It's a great book--I LOVED it when I read it!
6:54 pm
stidmama
actually, just remembering, feather... no matter how hard I tried when I had newborns, there was something out of place or "extra" on me -- a burp rag, "something" wet/gooey, or just my lactation working overtime. I hated it.
6:54 pm
evanonut
homerun isn't a word???
6:54 pm
FranMag
yay flask!!
6:54 pm
featherbee
rarely perfect hursh. i'm a firm believer in not spanking, but i've had huge urges to do so frequently!
6:54 pm
stidmama
although, I suspect others didn't notice it as much as I did.
6:55 pm
FranMag
nope nutty
6:55 pm
hurshy
dogs think everything is a scratch and sniff
6:55 pm

6:55 pm
hurshy
i like this song on this bread commercial
6:55 pm
Jacula
Feather - I won't be joining in the book club thing where we all read a given book. I have hundreds (really!) of books stacked up to read and what I read and how long I take to read it depends on my mood/life etc. I will take an interest in the club but not join in so far as joint reading is concerned. xx
6:55 pm

6:57 pm
featherbee
i just dont' want anyone to not join our group at goodreads just because they don't want to do a book club thing. i'm all about the looking at the friend's lists!
6:57 pm
lideola

lideola
arthritic, Mary
6:58 pm
pam
I need to do a list...
6:58 pm
stidmama
I like the lists, I like the reviews, I am treating goodreads as "jump in when I have time and inclination"... LOL
6:58 pm
Jacula
Feather - leak pads? Yuck! I remember those. Walking around with what looked like 2 teabags down my bra... clearly visible through a tee-shirt. Damned things sticking to your nipples... sore when you peeled them off. AArgh! The joys of motherhood! Woman next-door also had a baby around same time as I had my 2nd... we each used to wake up when the other's baby cried AND we leaked.
6:58 pm
featherbee
77 left and just starting the list here
6:58 pm
stidmama
would you believe the rh clues gave me the NE? LOL
6:58 pm
stidmama
go feather go!
6:59 pm
featherbee
lol, you have a vivid memory jac, because you describe it perfectly! what was *really* fun was the day i realized i had the sticky tape on one of them stuck to a nipple.
6:59 pm
FranMag
stid, they should also give you the FRs.
6:59 pm
stidmama
owie owie owie! *covers bosom with arms and moans*
6:59 pm
pam
OUCH all you moms....
6:59 pm

I had the FRs ages ago... LOL
6:59 pm
FranMag
lid, start with a word for last a long time and take the D away
7:00 pm
featherbee
i've got a great supply, which is wonderful for pumping, but awful for leaking
7:00 pm
FranMag
i found the gerber brand pads didn't stick and were very absorbent.
7:00 pm
evanonut
oy! what's this about tape on nipples? jeepers!
7:00 pm
featherbee
i like johnson and johnson, haven't tried gerber...will have to look into them.
7:00 pm
pam
I had a fungal infection on my breast--a rash, by the way, is a sign of a particularly fast-growing breast cancer--so they took me right in for a scrape--that was pretty bad, too, as I recall...
7:00 pm
featherbee
was wondering when you'd notice the chat nut!
7:01 pm
stidmama
OD 5 please? unless it's a fish...
7:01 pm
featherbee
a....scrape??? *shudders*
7:01 pm

7:01 pm
hurshy
or maybe he was trying to nurse, i shooed him before i could tell for sure
7:01 pm
stidmama
thanks fran!
7:02 pm
Jacula
Just the dried milk sticks like hell and pulls the skin off! You mean they put sticky around the edges of the pads now?? Aargh!
7:02 pm
featherbee
yeah, i'd have shooed him halfway across the room!
7:02 pm
hurshy
i thought it was pretty funny actually, and if he was trying to nurse, i think it's sweet that he knows i'm his momma :)
7:02 pm
stidmama
poor marty... just trying to bond... LOL
7:02 pm
evanonut
thanks, now i never will have children
7:02 pm
featherbee
no, it's a one inch square of sticky tape, covered with a backing. i never take the backing off, just stick them in there, but the tape worked its way free one time.
7:02 pm
Jacula
NO MORE TALK OF NIPPLES, SKINNED NIPPLES OR BABIES! Word clues only... LOL
7:03 pm
featherbee
it's one thing when a baby bites, but baby teeth aren't nearly as pointy as cat teeth!
7:03 pm
featherbee
*stifling laughter over here*
7:03 pm
FranMag
feather started it!!
7:03 pm
Jacula
Feather - please tell me you DON'T nurse your cat???8-/
7:04 pm
FranMag
*pointing finger*
7:04 pm
featherbee
nooo, that was in reference to hurshy and marty!
7:04 pm
featherbee
actually, it's jac's fault with her vivid recollections...
7:04 pm
FranMag
that's true, i just realized it.
7:04 pm
evanonut
this is by far one of the most effed up convos i
7:04 pm
stidmama
the BEST birth control I think is open and honest talk about what being a mother is all about... and the cute baby clothes don't even begin to make up for the getting up twelve times a night because you can't hear the baby breathing in the crib right next to you!
7:04 pm
evanonut
ve ever seen in here
7:05 pm
stidmama
I am done with RE words, down to 33
7:05 pm
featherbee
lol, ok, no more nipple talk! i swear!
7:05 pm
hurshy
what is so cute about baby clothes??!?!?!?!?!!! ah well.
7:05 pm
Jacula
I take the blame entirely. BTW, that sticky tape stuff can be a shocker in other places where pads are worn, too. NUFF SAID.
7:05 pm
featherbee
we cosleep, so the night thing isn't too bad. in fact, he slept 5 hours for the first time last night!
7:05 pm
featherbee
yeah, no kidding jac! been there, done that.
7:06 pm
evanonut
makes me glad how unlikely it is i'll ever make one of those noisly messly little piles of wrinkly skin.
7:06 pm
hurshy
i would just like to point out that between their few really pointy teeth, cats have very very tiny harmless teeth...
7:06 pm
lideola
how about engorgement? anyone get that?....whew I thought my breasts were going to choke me
7:06 pm
featherbee
grid? what grid? oh yeah, that one!
7:06 pm
stidmama
we coslept with the second from day one, with the first after a couple months. It was safer than me dropping him every night as I sat next to the crib!
7:06 pm
Jacula
... got the bald patch to prove it, too, I'll bet, feather.
7:06 pm
stidmama
I didn't have breasts, I had cataloupes....
7:06 pm
featherbee
daniel spent exactly one night in the crib, after that it was cosleeping all the way
7:07 pm
Jacula
stid - Oh yes. The new baby noisy breathing... and then they suddenly go quiet... Nightmare time.

This is the truth about motherhood! LOL. Mind you, if you've never had a gret cleavage before, now's the time you'll have one.... would be wonderful if you could squeeze your saddlebag hips and blancmange belly into a slinky low cut dress and not mind the wobbly bits and the leaky teabags in the chest part... v. sexy.

7:30 pm
Jacula
ak - was it you that had that lightbulb flash earlier? Maybe someone saw it and reported a fire?
7:31 pm

No, ak, it's not 'nose'. LOL. Well done. I suppose you're off outside to hang over your mailbox casually dressed in a slit skirt and fishnet stockings now? LOL
7:34 pm

7:43 pm
bichon
we had gerbils. I liked them a lot cause they made very little waste and we could give them the inside of the toilet paper rolls and it would keep them busy
7:43 pm
Scrabbler
that is cute and sweet, hursh, and i read about the return to the med---i am glad you know to resume it

7:43 pm

no i was able to view it jac. i just pasted

yes, gerbils chew like crazy----tubes, boxes etc

eww, oh dear
7:45 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - is Oliver a Russian or a Syrian?
7:45 pm
Scrabbler
oh yes, we had a mouse 2-3 yrs ago, i forgot. it was my nephew's pet
7:45 pm
Scrabbler
he is an albino, teddy bear hamster
7:46 pm
Jacula
Our gerbil used to love watching 'The Bill' ,a British cop series, on TV. As soon as the theme music came up he'd be out of the bottom of his tank and up on the top of his house to watch. Even if we weren't watching it we left the TV on for him to watch it.
7:47 pm

A syrian silk-coat then, Scrabbs? The syrians tend to live longer than the Russians and are more docile.
7:48 pm

7:49 pm
Scrabbler
too bad, hursh---what does it mean anyway (me of a simple vocab)
7:50 pm
Jacula
Our mice (all 22 of them) cost us more money at the vet's with various skin and nasty lump problems than any other pet we've ever had. Many's the time I had a dying mouse wrapped in cotton wool and bubble wrap down my bra in its dying hours. I even once tried cpr on a mouse (who was almost SEVEN years' old) with a small straw. That was George. He was a super mouse.
7:51 pm
hurshy
most of my hamsters died really fast - i don't mean their lives were short, but they'd be ok and then just be dead. baby died over like two weeks, it was really painful to watch.
7:52 pm
aknitter
wondering the compression to breath ratio of mouse cpr
7:52 pm
Scrabbler
i once brought a dying hamster to work, in a small box, and cushioned in soft tissues. that was greycliffe---a cute grey fellow. but i have never tried cpr on a pet
7:53 pm
Scrabbler
good question, ak----300/2 ?
7:53 pm
Jacula
hursh - One of our hamsters died in action on the wheel. He was there in the wheel in the running like hell position. Another took some food from her bowl, put her paws up to eat it and keeled over... gone.
7:53 pm
Scrabbler
the slow deaths with hamsters is brutal to watch!
7:54 pm
hurshy
yes it is sc - i think i am unlikely to get another because it was so hard.
7:54 pm
Jacula
ak - no idea - I was just really, really careful.
7:54 pm
bichon
I give up, what's the first two lo 6/24's?
7:54 pm
hurshy
i mean i would think he was gone, and touch him and he'd jump, but his body was already going cold, it was so weird.
7:55 pm
Jacula
The fighters, whether rabbit, g/pigs, mice, hamsters, dogs, cats... slow deaths... awful to watch.
7:55 pm

Scrabbs - just keep him calm and stroke him, and gently talk to him, telling him you love him. You don't need me to tell you that... you're doing it by instinct anyway.
7:57 pm

The other lo 6/24 word is opposite of quieter bichon.

Scrabbs - this is going to be a hard thing for you to do now... While you're still holding him he's going to keep hanging on. Put him down gently now onto your lap... don't stroke him now... just let him go in his own time. It won't be long. He'll still feel your warmth.

8:03 pm
Scrabbler
OK, I did it, Jac. I have gone through this so many times, but it is so nice to have everyone here now. I have often taken my sick hamsters to the vet's office and spent $35 to have them euthanized, just so I wouldn't have to watch this slow process
8:04 pm
Scrabbler
But it is the evening and the vet is unavailable
8:04 pm
mirandapan
Oh, I'm so sorry. You're doing such important work. I have a fried who says that our animals are our intercessors--so that when we get to the afterlife and are reminded of our shortcomings, our hamster will say, "yes, but she held me while I was dying."
8:05 pm
fruittart
jac -- your comment about not stroking reminds me of when my favorite cat died of leukemia. I was so tired and laying on the floor next to him weeping and stroking him. When I fell asleep for 10 min is when he died.
8:05 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - do you know what they do to small animals to euthanase them? This way is far kinder and far less agonising for them.
8:05 pm
Scrabbler
TY, Miranda. Then I will meet many of my old buddies someday.
8:05 pm

Hi, Min--fine and lurking--thanks for asking. Hope you're well.
8:07 pm
Jacula
fruit - Yes. Hello. Pets are just as 'guilty' or hanging on because we need them as we are in our dying moments. A moment of saying I love you and now I'm letting you go is sometimes needed.
8:07 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye fruittart! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
8:07 pm
Jacula
Mind you... some pets hang around after death, most welcomely anyway.
8:09 pm
Scrabbler
I have "visitors" too, Jacula-animal and human
8:09 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - sometimes they do that. Other times they inject the overdose of anaesthetic straight into the heart. It is quite fast but extremely and violently painful for an end of lif.
8:10 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, I have seen that done too, Jac
8:10 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - good to hear you still have loved ones around you. My Kira nearly tripped me up the other day, as was her wont in life!
8:10 pm
Scrabbler
Sometimes I am startled out of sleep with my visitors!
8:12 pm
Jacula
Thing is... all my other pets I just either feel or 'see out of the corner of my eye'. Kira's almost solid when I see her! Never when I'm thinking or talking about her either... sometimes, she's just on a chair, jumping off a chair, in the way (like cats are)...

scrabbler! two minor ped. questions for you. 1-when do their eyes change color, if they're going to?
8:15 pm
Jacula
OOPS! Who polished that glass?
8:15 pm
Minveryork
Hi featherbee!How are ya?Welcome back to the grid!
8:15 pm
featherbee
think i figured it out finally jac! least i hope so
8:15 pm
Jacula
*Hands feather an icepack for the bump on her head.*
8:15 pm
featherbee
2-if i actually feel a bubble in nick's side, will burping move it?
8:16 pm
featherbee
*thwock* belated sound of head hitting glass
8:16 pm
Scrabbler
Eye color is usually set by 6 months. But I have seen (with my own dark green eyes) some kids with a new color after years!
8:16 pm
featherbee
we have wishes that the blue stays, but not much hope!
8:17 pm
Scrabbler
Burping will only help if the air is in his stomach. If the air is further down in the intestines then he needs to fart it out.
8:17 pm
Minveryork
Speaking of the list,did anyone notice that Lickety's has an error with the el words?It lists el 4/5 & el 4/4 when there are really 2 el 4/4 words.Is that correct?
8:17 pm
featherbee
my eyes are brown, and when i get very upset/emotional, they will turn green.
8:17 pm
JBsAnno
Hello, I'm back! {{{scrabbler & little oliver}}}
8:18 pm
featherbee
poor guy! no wonder he was squawking
8:18 pm
Jacula
Best way to burp a baby IMHO is not to stick it over your shoulder. Hold the baby on a towel on your lap and gently lift the chin up whilst holding the back straight. This tends to bring the wind up without any pressure on the stomach bringing sickness.
8:18 pm
Minveryork
Hi JBsAnno! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
8:18 pm
Scrabbler
Are they really really blue now? If so, they usually stay blue. But if they look a little blue/brown/grey, then they are changing.
8:18 pm
JBsAnno
Hey, minver! Thanks. Whoo hoo, halfway there!
8:19 pm
JBsAnno
So, feather, are your eyes rolling around in your head after your trip thru the spinning door?
8:19 pm
Jacula
Also, this method of burping a baby can bring the wind out the other way if you gently rock baby backwards and forwards. (Also works for grownups sitting on the loo. LOL)
8:19 pm
Minveryork
Good for you you JBsAnno! Go Go Go!I have 55 to go.
8:19 pm
featherbee
they look (to me) like they're getting grey now.
8:19 pm
featherbee
oh scrabbler, i just scrolled back in chat. are you losing a bunny? the beginning is off screen
8:20 pm
Jacula
Min - No, because I was 'listless' today.
8:20 pm
Scrabbler
i saw the new pics, feather---very cute!
8:20 pm
Jacula
feather - it's Oliver, the hamster, who's dying.
8:20 pm

8:21 pm

I can see a big liver tumor in him.

8:22 pm

JBS - Enable has disabled the mosh pit. We'll keep on trying it though, eh?

Hello cliffopa!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
8:22 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - how's Oliver doing now?
8:22 pm
Scrabbler
And where did he do it, Hurshy?
8:23 pm
cliffopa
life has been a bit unkind to me and my family lately.
8:23 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, NO, cliffopa!! What has happened?
8:23 pm
hurshy
oh, in the cat genie of course. marty has NEVER gone anywhere he shouldn't.
8:24 pm

8:25 pm
Jacula
Named after myself of course, JBS!
8:25 pm
cliffopa
ty all. i knew i should have come back here sooner. missed all that support.
8:26 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - did you say you saw a liver tumour in him?
8:26 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, I can see it and I felt it earlier. Hamsters are tumor factories, that what my vet said, and it is true.
8:27 pm
Scrabbler
Cliff---I really did miss you and missed hearing about your cat adventures. Don't leave Babble Land again, pease.
8:28 pm
JBsAnno
Sign on door: Jacula Jacuzzi is closed for the evening. Too much sadness to cope with for now.
8:28 pm
cliffopa
thanks scrabbler, that means a lot.
8:28 pm
Jacula
About another hour and 20 mins to go, I say from experience, Scrabbs. Hamsters and mice are tumour factories, sweetheart. I don't know why they are recommended as pets for children a) since they are up at night and grumpy if woken in the day b) since they are quite fragile and c) since they die young
8:28 pm
JBsAnno
{{{cliffopa}}}
8:28 pm
Jacula
JBs - that's okay.
8:28 pm
Scrabbler
I agree, Jacula, and cringe whenever a child tells me they have a hamster.
8:29 pm
Jacula
Sorry, JBs.. but I'm sitting here in support of Scrabbs 'cos I know what's happening and I want to help.
8:29 pm
hurshy
jac... i think it's because you have to get used to death in stages... i mean if you can. and the longer you have to get attached, the harder a death is.
8:30 pm
cliffopa
you've got that right hurshy
8:30 pm
Jacula
hursh - you may be right... that's the next stage of the discussion I intended to go to.
8:30 pm
JBsAnno
To everything there is a time and a season. A time to weep, and a time to laugh
8:31 pm
cliffopa
i'm overdue for some laughter. where's evanonut anyway?
8:31 pm
Scrabbler
With hamsters, I know they don't last too long, but with other pets, they are our children!
8:31 pm
Jacula
Mind you, the death of a parent... how long does that take to get used to? I still think of my Dad every day and sometimes I still weep over him.
8:31 pm
lbdawger
cliff, you should listen to babblecast. that will have you howling!
8:32 pm
Jacula
Scrabbs - cats, dogs, horses.... all long lived, all too much an integral part of our lives.... not easily gotten over.
8:32 pm

Scrabbler
LOL, feather!
8:42 pm
featherbee

8:42 pm
FranMag
they wouldn't give me an estimate over the phone, they said they had to see the situation, although they advertised that they use flat rates.
8:42 pm
Scrabbler
Did you tell him where to put the plunger, Fran?
8:43 pm
JBsAnno
My boss told me that the other night that the Comcast guys showed up at 8pm to fix the phone/cable/internet connection - they were there til midnight to fix it!
8:43 pm
FranMag
anyway, the guy finally shows up to assess the situation. i told him if it cost too much i would have to wait until payday.
8:43 pm
Jacula
Feather - lay him gently face down on a towel across you lap now and (gently) massage his lower back then sit him up again gently (after about 30 seconds of the former) and rock him gently back and forth again.
8:43 pm
herinfernallady
hi and hugs
8:44 pm
FranMag
he said kitchen sinks are $162.. i said i would have to wait because that was more than we were prepared to spend.
8:44 pm
JBsAnno
Does that work with a squirmer, Jac?
8:44 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, dear, JB, although maybe the evening is more convenient instead of missing work.
8:44 pm
JBsAnno
{{{herin!!!}}}
8:44 pm
featherbee

8:44 pm
FranMag
he says...did they explain our diagnostic fee to you?
8:44 pm
JBsAnno
Tell him you don't want a NEW sink, man!
8:44 pm
Jacula
If that doesn't work... gently circle is tummy in a massaging movement anticlockwise for about 6 times.
8:44 pm
FranMag
i said, no, that was not mentioned, all the guy said was you have to come out and look at it.
8:44 pm
herinfernallady
Feather do you have a gassy kid?
8:45 pm
Scrabbler
"diagnostic fee", huh?

Me and my best mate are brunettes. We've never been 'dumb blondes'. LOL

10:46 pm
tragicstud
but i do love me some taly :)
10:46 pm
helenkeller
we got a baby pomeranian just recently, her name is gilly -which is short for gilda, gilda radner
10:46 pm
NonnieLight
ah, I see!
10:46 pm
tragicstud
i kinda wish it were spelled tali though so i wouldn't have to pronounce it all the time
10:46 pm
tragicstud
aww... gilly is an adorable name for a pom
10:46 pm
NonnieLight
I loved gilda radner.
10:47 pm
tragicstud
i hope she's potty training better than taly is :)
10:47 pm
helenkeller
yes, i loved gilda radner too, however, her autobiography was very sad
10:47 pm
tragicstud
yeah it was...
10:48 pm
NonnieLight
I know she battled the cancer and lost but was her growing up years difficult?
10:48 pm
helenkeller
tragic - no way, this is my 3rd pom & i've never had any luck in that department, although this one is using the pee-pee pads, yay! now our rescue mutt, trained in 3 days at 10 weeks old - he's brilliant
10:48 pm
jesdraggon
and that's why i don't bring home puppies ;)
10:48 pm
helenkeller
nonnie - she was looking for love in all the wrong places - i think that sums it up very well - that was the basis of her comedy
10:48 pm
tragicstud
well, luckily taly has a different name than her namesake, cause her namesakes miserable
10:49 pm
tragicstud
i feel like all comedians have roughness somewhere
10:49 pm
tragicstud
there's a lot of tragedy behind real comedy
10:49 pm
helenkeller
methinks you're right jes
10:49 pm

10:58 pm
tragicstud
also not surprising
10:59 pm
jesdraggon
true. but i've gotten much better at building fences ;)
10:59 pm
tragicstud
maybe he'll help me find you when i get close to ya
10:59 pm
NonnieLight
Our golden climbed the fence to escape. We'd get a call from the little elderly woman who lived next door; "Your red dog is climbing over the fence again!"

11:02 pm
jesdraggon
hmm. well, would long-winded stories of the torment my clients put me through make you feel better, or at least distract you?
11:02 pm
tragicstud
lol... if it doesn't at all remind me of the torment of my clients :)
11:03 pm
