GroovyKiwi

so does ANYONE not anything lol

1:44 am

Hugabugs

bottom row greyed

1:44 am

stidmama

I think that he is afraid of intimacy and so has decided it's not worth trying.

1:44 am

stidmama

Or perhaps he is afraid of rejection -- or doesn't want to become a burden to someone.

1:44 am

sprite

nope, Kiwi. As long as you are really happy together, the heck with bodily limitations.

1:44 am

GroovyKiwi

oh thats not the problem stid lol

1:45 am

stidmama

I mean -- the emotional intimacy.

1:45 am

rururocks

yeah there are lots of things to do by getting off of your legs...

1:45 am

GroovyKiwi

oh geeze ruru

1:45 am

stidmama

ooooh. that ruru! *tosses blindfold for his execution* that is mean!

1:45 am

sprite

and as long as his ha**s are working properly... ;)

1:46 am

rururocks

lol .. I couldn't help myself..

1:46 am

GroovyKiwi

intimacy on any level isnt a problem its not what i see or he sees its how others perseve it

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

to be blunt, it depends on the kind of ms, if it is in remission, and how it is expected to progress... have church friends... he was a valuable teacher with ms... now barely knows his name

1:46 am

sprite

*puts a rubber ball into ruru's mouth and gags him properly*

1:46 am

GroovyKiwi

dee this guy is doing a fast track part time mba - fours years into two and is a private secretary for a minister of parliament

1:46 am

rururocks

**mummpf*

1:46 am

stidmama

yes, I have heard that can happen with MS. and a friend's sister has it and at this point is allergic to everything... including the medications that help other people.

1:47 am

sprite

how others think about it is not important, Kiwi. You cannot please the whole world anyhow. Follow your bliss.

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

fantastic! What is his prognosis?

1:47 am

rururocks

I agree with sprite

1:47 am

stidmama

the thing is kiwi, people with MS sometimes have great intellect, but then the disease progresses and they don't.

1:47 am

stidmama

on the other hand... my own belief is that if you love each other, then you take the time you have, whether it's 5 years or 50.

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

that is what I was asking stid. If his is kind they don't expect to progress, being in a wheelchair really isn't a big deal.

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

true stid

1:48 am

sprite

but even with a bad prognosis, it is sometimes better to have 5 great years with somebody and live with the memories, than be afraid to lose him and live with the fear.

1:48 am

sprite

snap, stiddie

1:48 am

stidmama

LOL sprite!

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

very true... as long as that doesn't hurt the boys

1:49 am

GroovyKiwi

he gets around on crutches and his motorised scooter which is a cool ride lol

1:49 am

stidmama

we could ask my tom -- he has had to deal with multiple issues of mine for the last 17 years...

1:49 am

sprite

*giggle* He wouldn't want to do without you for anything in the whole wide world, stiddie. No need to even ask.

1:49 am

stidmama

how did I get down to 105 all of a sudden?

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

i dont know if this would end up as anything long term permanent because he is fiercely independent but im happy to spend time with him for as long as we get to spend it together

1:50 am

jillibus

I think stid just types and the words find themselves

1:50 am

stidmama

I think independence is a good thing -- and being a committed couple shouldn't change that...

1:51 am

stidmama

did you get to your party last night jill?

1:51 am

sprite

then that is the only thing that counts, Kiwi. Enjoy it, and him, and take the consequences, both rewarding and tough.

1:51 am

rururocks

take some time with it kiwi and it will sort itself out

1:52 am

stidmama

*thinking ruru is right*

1:52 am

GroovyKiwi

thats what i thought dang needing the self confidence booster shot again ty all

1:53 am

rururocks

**takes off execution bandana and hightails it away from stid***

1:53 am

sprite

nothing wrong with that either, Kiwi :)
Remember you are my hero.

1:53 am

sprite

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

sprite

1:54 am

jillibus

stid, the party was to be today but was postponed until Wednesday -- roads here were impassable , not to mention the driveway, which still is. Lots of parties postponed or cancelled -- the bridge one tomorrow.
night may be, the library one Tuesday afternoon definitely.

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

the an 8 is stupid

1:55 am

rururocks

it is stupid or it means stupid?

1:55 am

sprite

1:55 am

GroovyKiwi

GroovyKiwi

nite my friends

1:58 am

sprite

stid, I finally got the official letter that I am granted my invalidity benefit. For 9 months at least. After that, a reassessment. And if that works out as expected, I will get the benefit for at least 5 years.

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

congrats sprite!

1:59 am

sprite

thanks Dee

1:59 am

stidmama

oh good, sprite -- so some breathing room! *relieved mama look* I will take you off the "urgent" list and put you on the back burner...

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

you are very welcome; that must be a great relief for you

1:59 am

rururocks

bye for me.. I am so happy you are away from that evil employer sprite

1:59 am

stidmama

sweet dreams ruru!

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

1:59 am

rururocks

can I take the gag out now?

2:00 am

sprite

lol stid, yes that is perfectly ok! Better yet, very soon I will get the letter from my employer that they will fire me. After that, lots of peace and quiet. No longer having them rattling my cage just for the fun of it.

2:01 am

Hugabugs

I'm missing 2 c's Dee - so 2 of those are what I'm missing - thanks

2:01 am

sprite

2:01 am

jillibus

2:01 am

jillibus

you may, ruru, if you'll be good (and I think you are)

2:01 am

stidmama

yes ruru, you may. but only if you behave yourself!

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

please do... you are scary with a purplish red face

2:01 am

VolleymomDee

please do... you are scary with a purplish red face

2:01 am

stidmama

yes ruru, you may. but only if you behave yourself!

2:01 am

stidmama

oh oh... I think babble died on me.

2:02 am

sprite

you already did, ruru, you naughty one!

2:02 am

sprite

just the 2 am hiccup

2:02 am

rururocks

I just love teasing kiwi.. she is so much fun

2:03 am

rururocks

I just love teasing kiwi.. she is so much fun

2:03 am

stidmama

and down to 92. me to sleep for real. *hugs sprite and everyone* will see you-all more often for a few weeks, NO MORE SCHOOL until the middle of January! :-D

2:04 am

sprite

that stupid employer just sent me a letter to tell me they are going to lower my nett income, because I am ill for more than 2 years without them firing me... which is their fault, because they neglected to report me being ill to the correct department in the company... so my husband is writing to them again about them having to shoulder the burden of their mistakes, and not we....

2:04 am

sprite

lovely, stiddie! Enjoy the free time and relax thoroughly. *hugs* and sleep well!

2:04 am

stidmama

*poof*

2:05 am

jillibus

night stid

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

anyone know what e's come from the top e (3 words) tile?

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

that stinks sprite

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

nm found it... es6

2:08 am

sprite

yeah, but I leave it to hubby. If I start thinking about it, I end up being exhausted and panicky again and that while I am doing pretty well in staying more level with my feelings and energy. So the hell with them.
Er4 is one.

2:08 am

Hugabugs

er4 x 2 and es6

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

seems to be corporate culture these days... do whatever they can to delay benefits, regardless if they are due

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

ty hug & sprite

2:09 am

Hugabugs

my computer is being goofy and really slow again tonight

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

I had to reboot earlier

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

then it's been better since

2:10 am

Hugabugs

It takes about 20 min to shut down and reboot. It's just awful

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

totally understand that!

2:10 am

sprite

my first HRM manager was a great one and did leave the company very soon as a result, lol. He realised the best way to keep people motivated and healthy was to give them their due, in salary and in appreciation, and to listen to them about things not going well.

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

where did he go after he left?

2:13 am

sprite

he went to a great company that shared his ideals, got to manage one part of their business and did so well he got to own it.

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

wow glad he was rewarded; must be a great man

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

ha 6 x 2 ha 7

2:16 am

sprite

he is, and he is still very dear to me. We always kept in touch.

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

perhaps he can advise your hubby on best wording for letter

2:19 am

sprite

my hubby has his own knowledge on that subject. But actually, it doesn't matter much. The company I worked for is very incompetent at handling its affairs and you cannot predict anything they will do.

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

very sad

2:20 am

sprite

good to be almost away from it

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

for sure

2:20 am

sprite

herinfernallady

gatorade.....it works...

6:27 am

Trifioso

be careful, though - caffeine tea dehydrates....

mkg

jmann i get a sh 7 not 8 with plural.

Uneaixoise

8:36 am

Uneaixoise

aaawww, thanks, trif

8:36 am

JMann

8:36 am

cybernan

hi une

8:37 am

lilliann

she's prefer you to be safe une

8:37 am

Trifioso

uhhh - finish the other half, cybernan?

8:37 am

Uneaixoise

oh, sorry . . . actually, my daughter and I were disappointed . . . love love love Cherry Jones, but the play itself wasn't what we expected . . . oh, well

8:37 am

skooj

hi une and everyone i missed. buried in the grid.

8:38 am

Uneaixoise

hey, skooj!

8:38 am

Trifioso

hi skooj

8:38 am

skooj

hi - 5 below zero here...arggggg

8:38 am

JMann

I agree, I love her, but when I saw the show, I thought she was overacting a little. And the play wasn't exactly what I thought

8:39 am

Uneaixoise

trying to remember what I saw her in quite a long time ago -- was wonderful . . . hmmm

8:40 am

Uneaixoise

The Heiress!!!!

8:40 am

JMann

the heiress? or moon for the misbegotten? those are the one's I can think of off the top of my head

8:40 am

Uneaixoise

terrific!

8:40 am

JMann

ah, you beat me to it

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

8:41 am

Trifioso

I saw her in The Father, and Christopher Llyod was in it too, and it was amazing

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

used to make annual theater pilgrimages to NYC with my mom, then with the Will to my Grace, and now with my daughter :-)

8:42 am

JMann

was that a play or movie? Not familiar with it. Not the one by Strindberg

8:42 am

Uneaixoise

amazing to think she's from little bitty Paris, Tennessee!

8:43 am

Trifioso

it's a play

8:43 am

JMann

talent comes from all around, but it is funny to think that some of the best actors came from tiny places, not the large metropolises we think of

8:43 am

Uneaixoise

true . . .

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

and we in Nashville, of course, are proud of our Reese W! LOL

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

my ex coifs her mom

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

also coifs Al Gore! LOL

8:45 am

JMann

So, the more I think about it, I think The Father is by Strindberg, but just doesn't sound right - about a man who may or may not be the father of his wife's child

8:45 am

JMann

that's true, you have lots of talent over there

8:45 am

redturtlehead

OK Dishes done, clothes in dryer...some email done, running watch charging... I sure would like to just nap...

8:46 am

Uneaixoise

red, your flickr pix are soooo wonderful!

8:46 am

JMann

homegrown talent and talent that moves there (and I'm sure some no-talent that moves there as well!)

8:46 am

redturtlehead

Une thanks!

8:47 am

lilliann

i thought you were just deep in the grid red, would you like to come and do my ironing, than you can have a nap

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!!

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

gotta run . . . BBL! :-)

8:47 am

Trifioso

jmann, I have no idea who wrote it - it was about a father that goes mad, and the set was so well designed - as the play went on the set changed, so that by the end the room they were in had tilted walls, flipped over pictures, etc. everything externally suggested the internal madness. it was very effective

8:47 am

lilliann

bye une, take care

8:48 am

redturtlehead

No sadly, I must go running and do a rather yuck training session at gym...I hate to iron.

8:49 am

lilliann

ironing is good exercise aswell!

8:49 am

redturtlehead

yes but I hate it. I just dont kno why I am so tired.

8:49 am

JMann

that would have been great to see - love sets that make adjustments throughout the play - saw one recently where the ceiling of the house slowly kept coming in closer to the actors and the back walls kept moving downstage so was boxing them in - play was ok, but the set was cool

8:50 am

Trifioso

i agree!

8:50 am

lilliann

so do i...hubby normally does it as i'm not suppose to but he is a t a course so i'll have to do a bit

8:50 am

JMann

sorry, the ceiling on the set, which was a house, not the House as in where the audience sits

8:50 am

lilliann

are you working over xmas red?

8:51 am

Trifioso

i knew what you meant...one of my degrees is in theatre, so you are safe with me

8:51 am

JMann

I'm a sucker for a really good set, something inventive

8:52 am

8:53 am

lilliann

8:55 am

JMann

Trifioso

8:57 am

lilliann

lol pastor

8:57 am

Trifioso

oh, I am so sorry red....but don't iron instead!

8:57 am

lilliann

but if it was a lottery you may not have got a place anyway red

8:58 am

redturtlehead

I had a gaurenteed entry because I ran last yet.

8:58 am

lilliann

yes...iron...mine pleeeeaseee

8:58 am

redturtlehead

But I had to register.

8:58 am

lilliann

oh, sorry red

8:58 am

JMann

ah, doing what? I was a production manager, but now back to stage manager

8:58 am

redturtlehead

Oh well...will look for something else. No ironing for me. I dont on an iron.

8:58 am

redturtlehead

8:59 am

lilliann

much easier just to put clothes under the mattress and lie on them, save electricity!

9:00 am

Trifioso

jmann, I have done every job you can do in theatre. I have been in the cast, the crew, designed, built, and lit sets, made costumes, directed, run publicity, dressed the cast, run the props, sound, etc. You name it, I have done it.

9:00 am

JMann

9:03 am

lilliann

hi harp

9:04 am

JMann

you would think that actors could, and some can, but there is a reason for the term "Actor proofing" everything onstage - if it can go wrong, actors will find the way to do it

9:04 am

9:04 am

rururocks

I know what you mean..my old guy is gong to go sometime soon and I cannot live without a dog

10:25 am

rururocks

misha is a nice name for a dog...

10:26 am

flosey

the farm is not the same without her, we got her when we came here

10:26 am

rururocks

do get another..it is very healing

10:26 am

redturtlehead

teulu would like to join you! i am not sure if i want him to leave tho...

10:26 am

flosey

yes, we do intend to but couldn't for a while

10:26 am

rururocks

get a rescue or contact a great breeder

10:27 am

flosey

we're thinking of watching SPCA

10:27 am

flosey

our daughters have their eye out for an adoptable

10:28 am

Atalante

5 months is a good time gap

10:28 am

redturtlehead

Or I can send Teulu to you. He chewed the carpet this week and I am a little not so pleased with him (and myself....)

10:28 am

rururocks

yes... when we get a third it will be a rescue dog again.

10:28 am

flosey

yes Ata, agree

10:28 am

rururocks

how old is teulu

10:28 am

Atalante

ask Jesdraagon, flosey

10:28 am

flosey

is Jesdraagon in Canada Ata?

10:28 am

Atalante

I know she's a distance from you, but not impossible, and she is always getting in adoptables

10:28 am

redturtlehead

he is almost 3. carpet cheing I am sure is my fault, it a fairly new recent thing.

10:29 am

Atalante

mid Washington

10:29 am

redturtlehead

Jes is in the US in the west.

10:29 am

rururocks

you can crate him when you can't keep your eye on him?

10:29 am

flosey

ah, too difficult to cross borders

10:29 am

redturtlehead

Yes, he's crate trained. I suppose I should, he just never really likd the crate...

10:29 am

Atalante

oh :(

10:30 am

rururocks

goldens love crates if they are set up with bedding and comfy

10:30 am

redturtlehead

When he was about a year old, he had an explosive diarrhea accident in the crate and has not really enjoyed it since.

10:30 am

Atalante

why is it difficult to take a dog from US -> Can?

10:30 am

rururocks

oh..that would do it

10:30 am

flosey

poor thing

10:30 am

rururocks

you could feed him treats in there and leave him for a few minutes at a time

10:31 am

Atalante

just being generally inquisitive now

10:31 am

redturtlehead

Can I admit that he somehow did this chewing while I was present...in the shower...

10:31 am

flosey

hubby finally up, time for breakfast, bbl

10:31 am

lilliann

10:31 am

rururocks

Our puppy Tucker actually ripped up all the linoleum in the family room in one day.. a very determined dog...

10:32 am

rururocks

Fortunately most labs and goldens stop being destructive at 3

10:32 am

flosey

Ata, I'm just assuming, not sure, but neither of us have passports

10:33 am

Atalante

ah yes! I see your point :)

10:33 am

rururocks

you need a passport to come in the US?

10:33 am

flosey

yes ru

10:33 am

MonkeyGames

Hi briefly folks. Read a thing once where this woman came home to find that the macaw had let the young boxer out of the crate (later confirmed by leaving them alone with a camera) and then the dog ripped all the wallpeper off to a certain hight, and the bird ripped off everything he could reach from various perches like curtain rods. Nearly floor to ceiling annihalatio, a real joint effort.

10:33 am

rururocks

OMG!

10:33 am

flosey

I foolishly let mine expire a few years ago

10:33 am

redturtlehead

teulu has benn a very good boy, overall, just a few shoe chewing incidents...and etc.

10:34 am

redturtlehead

It could be (on my end) just that I spent the day at work where the computer is so slow I can enter a word, go to the kitchen and put a pot of coffee on, and come back to wait for the word to be accepted or not.

10:55 am

MonkeyGames

Everything seems fast after that.

Hi briefly all. Just wanted to pass along... if people were going to tell Crossy about the wolf, sadly the lack of my good tool has proven nemesistic, and an ear broke off. I have to procure a new piece of stone and start over. So don't get his hopes up; it'll be a little while yet. Sigh.

3:23 pm

Aussieme

Hey Jes !

3:23 pm

jesdraggon

so is the insulin a new thing for you?

3:25 pm

Aussieme

Well, I was on it when I was pregnant (3 years ago), but then went to tablets..... Then things started going a littly awry, so I am back on it again, new like 2 weeks....

3:25 pm

jesdraggon

ah. not the most fun ever. :(

3:25 pm

3:26 pm

jesdraggon

happily, i've not had to inject myself. got a cat that gets insulin twice daily though

3:27 pm

3:27 pm

jesdraggon

oh no, that's gotta make it rough!

3:27 pm

Aussieme

Well, if it is going to help me live, then, all the better for me.....

3:28 pm

Aussieme

I am trying to get it between 4 and 5 mmol before meals, and between 5-6 mmol after meals.... Right now, It is 7-8, and 8-9, so I have a way to go yet !

3:29 pm

jesdraggon

good luck with that. but you're right, is much better than not having the option.

3:29 pm

o-o

are you taking more than one type if insulin?

3:29 pm

Aussieme

Better than it was before the insulin though.... It was 13-14, and 14-15..... SO I am happy to keep sticking at it !! ha ha !

3:30 pm

Aussieme

Yes Babrab ! 2 types, one fast acting, one slow for overnight....

3:31 pm

Aussieme

fast acting 3 times a day, and one slow one for overnight..

6:45 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, tyger, I'm so sorry!

6:45 pm

jesdraggon

oi, tyger... that sucks

6:45 pm

redturtlehead

Tyger, good luck.

6:45 pm

pam

Oh, Tyger. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

6:45 pm

redturtlehead

sounds as if you need a CT scan.

6:46 pm

tygerbryght

yup, jes. it does

6:46 pm

lexleeanne

sticking my nose in to say - prayers will go with you tyger - from me in NC

6:46 pm

tygerbryght

I dunno, turtle. whatever the doctors say

6:46 pm

tygerbryght

thx, lex

6:46 pm

tygerbryght

I can use them :)

6:46 pm

Dorens

hi all. sh8/50 please. and hope all is well tyger

6:46 pm

lexleeanne

6:47 pm

got a UTI, cellulitis again, and a fungal skin infection. only the UTI is responding to the med, and that sloooowly

6:47 pm

tygerbryght

thx, dorens

6:47 pm

pam

hi, lex and doresn

6:48 pm

lexleeanne

hey pam

6:48 pm

tygerbryght

oh, yeah. and with my thermostat set on 76 (normally I set it on 71-72 in winter), I still wind up in layers. I'm COLD :( get shivers

6:48 pm

pam

fungal skin infections and I are well acquainted... Antibiotics never work for me on those...

6:48 pm

tygerbryght

so you see why I need more analysis & treatment

6:48 pm

HollyF

ha7

6:48 pm

redturtlehead

Fever? Have you taken some tylenol or Motrin?

6:48 pm

pam

Sounds like you have a systemic thing going on, but red would know better....

6:48 pm

tygerbryght

not aware of any fever, turtle. I

6:49 pm

tygerbryght

oops I've been seen 3 times in the last week, and temp "normal" every time

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

but you do need more looking at Tyger. Sure do wish your Doctor would order the tests and admit you directly rather than send you through ER

6:49 pm

tygerbryght

I agree, pam. it's like my immune system has shut down

6:49 pm

Uneaixoise

plural of ha6, holly

6:50 pm

tygerbryght

well, I'll stop depressing y'all. I just wanted some people aware so that if I'm not around for several days, people will know why

6:50 pm

pam

i agree, red. It seems liek the doc is encouraging mis-use of the ER

6:50 pm

tygerbryght

that would be nice, turtle, but he didn't

6:50 pm

HollyF

Thank you again Une

6:50 pm

pam

Tyger, I am concerned, not depressed!!!!!!

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

not depressing, tyger, just sad . . . sounds really miserable!

6:50 pm

redturtlehead

tyger I would say a prophylactic dose of tylenol might make you feel a bit better. Hoping fo the best for you and you are not depressing us. More concerning us.

6:50 pm

tygerbryght

and I dread ER

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

yw, holly

6:51 pm

aebmusica

st 50,please?

6:51 pm

lexleeanne

could this be the dr.s way of working the insurance

6:51 pm

redturtlehead

Tyger, ask Doc if he can just direct admit you....ER is not a great place to be...the beds are hard, its noisy and people have other things you could catch.

6:51 pm

tygerbryght

thx very much, guys and yes, une, I am pretty miserable planning to go lie down in a few

6:51 pm

lexleeanne

some are so silly the way they want things handled

6:52 pm

Uneaixoise

take care and let us know what they find . . .

6:52 pm

tygerbryght

turtle, I don't know why he didn't, but .... and I'll probably go to a different hospital than the one he's affiliated with, anyway

6:52 pm

tygerbryght

could be, lexie

6:53 pm

tygerbryght

well, thx for all the good wishes, etc. hope to see y'all soon

6:53 pm

DR1965

tyger... so sorry you are suffering so much

6:53 pm

lexleeanne

(((((tyger)))))

6:53 pm

lexleeanne

feel better = GET better - that's an order!!!

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

In general docs do it so they dont have to take the time to write admission orders etc. But whatever the situation Tyger, I hope they get tothe bottom of it. Go early int he am for better faster service, like at 7:15... ;)

6:53 pm

tygerbryght

thx, DR, lexie

6:54 pm

tygerbryght

I was thinking noonish, turtle

6:54 pm

DR1965

that is so true red!

6:54 pm

tygerbryght

it seems to me they're busier during "rush hours"

6:54 pm

lexleeanne

get up early go UGLY - they will feel sorrier for you and get you in!

6:54 pm

DR1965

act it up

6:54 pm

tygerbryght

and evenings ..... I don't think so. that's one reason why I plan to wait until tomorrow

6:55 pm

tygerbryght

I gotta get my son to take me, and he (like me) is pretty zombie-like in the mornings

6:55 pm

DR1965

you are miserable ... tell them that

6:55 pm

tygerbryght

oh, DR, I definitely intend to do that!

6:56 pm

lexleeanne

you can always plan your emergency ahead - call in - are you busy??? I think I will be more ill when you are less busy!!!

6:56 pm

DR1965

and as you know already... be yoru own advocate

6:56 pm

tygerbryght

I'll consult with him shortly about when to go

6:56 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, lexie

6:57 pm

tygerbryght

I will, DR, I will. I intend to carry a list, and my son is great at making a big fuss

6:57 pm

tygerbryght

later all, and thx again for all the sympathy, concern, etc

6:57 pm

DR1965

perfect!

6:57 pm

DR1965

you have been ill for a while now and I am worried

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

The way the ER works as far as time is that it is MOST busy between hours of 3-3 BUT...

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

It starts to get busy at 11 am...Worst day is Monday, so you avoided that Tyger. Second worst day is Friday.

6:58 pm

tygerbryght

me, too. DR. that's why I decided I'd better get proactive

6:59 pm

redturtlehead

Tyger I think maybe you need a few days of IV antibiotics and to visit with maybe Infectious Dz specialist...

6:59 pm

tygerbryght

bye, all *poof*

6:59 pm

redturtlehead

Good Luck Tyger...I;d get you in if you came to my ER.

8:16 pm

jesdraggon

i've found that showing kids their pets' teeth is a useful demonstration. never yet found a kid who wasn't disgusted by a horse's teeth.

8:17 pm

Scrabbler

Owl, that is a good thing for kids to imagine.

8:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

Go Jess go!

8:19 pm

jesdraggon

where you at, feather? i've got a friend that's got a never ending supply of rabbits she'd be happy to give you a few of.

8:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't the other bunnies get jealous?

8:19 pm

featherbee

i have 3 cats. 1 that i know for sure would thank me for the fresh lunch.

8:20 pm

jesdraggon

aww, feather. my rabbit is bigger than any of my cats ;)

8:20 pm

Scrabbler

They each have their own rooms, Owl, and I sleep in Sebastian's room...or he lives in my room, however you look at it. He is especially bonded to me, unlike any rabbit I have ever had.

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

It's hard to predict, Feather, but would be risky for the bunny.

8:21 pm

featherbee

do they get along jes?

8:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

too cute.

8:21 pm

featherbee

yeah, that's my gut feeling scrabs. i'd hate to do such a social experiment at the expense of a poor bunny!

8:21 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. there's a big clump of sh words i don't have.

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, Feather. OK, off to bed for me. Good luck to all trying to finish. See you tomorrow.

8:22 pm

jillibus

YAY NATTS!!! Sorry -- I wandered off, and Coronation Street is on -- roads here are sheer ice when plouhged and I'm snowbound because I have nobody to do my driveway, or rather, the pile at the end the plough left.

That's MY girl!

9:21 pm

rururocks

just buy 1 bottle of each pam and try them over two days to see if you like them individually. Then I will have an idea of your palate and can recommend more

9:21 pm

pam

I frankly don't know much about wine, Ruru, and rarely drink Californian...

9:21 pm

rururocks

these are different styles

9:21 pm

pam

OK, thanks, Ru!

9:22 pm

Trifioso

jill - this is so funny, and totally true - my M-I-L is in a nursing home, with Alzheimer's, and the residents there LOVE Corrie Street, a) because so many of the players are the same one that it is reminisce therapy, of a sort, and b) the stories go really slowly, so the residents can remember the stories from one day to the next (some of them, anyway.). Coronation Street therapy! The latest thing!

9:22 pm

pam

I have wide range of wine taste and an unsophisticated palate.... such a prole I am!

9:22 pm

rururocks

9:24 pm

Trifioso

9:25 pm

car.eeyore

OK, its the wo6 that I don't have!

9:25 pm

jillibus

to7 -- sort of urban

9:26 pm

car.eeyore

Trifioso

9:27 pm

9:27 pm

Trifioso

herinfernallady

Yep. When he is in the air just before the dementors attack there is a dog cloud. I just looked up at the right time

10:07 pm

Trifioso

something the kids and I have been puzzling over: there is muggles (us), Squibs, Wizards, witches, but there is no word for a person born magical, but who chooses NOT to live in the magical world. In the infinite cosmos, it has to happen sometimes....for example, if Lily had been magic, and Petunia was too, but chose to live a Muggle life with Vernon.....

10:07 pm

jillibus

oh, spooky, herin!

10:08 pm

herinfernallady

Maybe they become unmentionables

10:08 pm

Trifioso

maybe. I think being a squib is the worst.

10:09 pm

Trifioso

oh, feck - off to the PB again....

10:11 pm

HollyF

10:11 pm

herinfernallady
