May explain why Lickety announced clues were up an hour early too ... he had the right day even though the clues were for the day before
3:15 am
Andree
lickety doesn't babble at all only mrp does so if he did not take the time into consideration he would not have realised
3:16 am
Andree
he may have thought oh its after 3 better do clues!!
3:16 am
Andree
and how are you
3:16 am
o-o
Hello, Andree ... hope you are finding time for sleep
3:17 am
Andree
i got a bit more last night and have high hopes for tonight
3:18 am
Andree
its a short time in a dogs life, this crying whwn left alone and should not last long, I hope
3:23 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all. Andree, just passing through, but what a lovely photo of the children with Hugo!
3:25 am
Andree
they were my helpers when i picked him up
3:25 am
Haz1558
They look so thrilled!
3:26 am
Haz1558
The good thing is that you'll get Hugo housetrained and sleeping through the night much faster than a baby.
3:26 am
Andree
they are, hugo and i have just been to birthday party for one of the 3 year olds
3:27 am
Haz1558
I'm sure he was the main attraction.
3:28 am
Andree
he was, my oldest grandaughter who is 14 took over, she wanted to take home home!
3:29 am
Haz1558
You have quite a spread of ages with your grandchildren.
3:30 am
Andree
the best thing for hugo and i at the moment is that Jules is in NZ with the kids to visit her birth family so hugo and i are bonding really well
3:30 am
Andree

Haz1558
I was talking to a lady the other day who has 4 children ranging from 19 to 5. Quite interesting for her to be waving one off to university and the other off to primary school.
3:32 am
Haz1558
She was saying how much things had changed at school from when the first had started, with different methods and approaches being used.
3:32 am
Andree
wow these of mine are from my 3 kids so in each family quite close in age
3:33 am
Haz1558
I remember being horrified when both my girls were taught a completely different method of subtraction. They called it decomposition and by the time they had finished the sum was illegible with crossings out and numbers added.
3:34 am
Haz1558
I had to check using the old method, that's if I could work out what the sum had been in the first place.
3:34 am
o-o
decomposition sounds like green math
3:35 am
Andree
when my kids were at the american school when we lived in Bangkok , i was up complaining about the spelling on a regular basis
3:35 am
Haz1558
I know. I remember arguing that decomposition was what happened to dead bodies.
3:36 am
Andree
education system is totally different to when mine went to school
3:36 am
Haz1558
They did still learn their multiplication tables although I don't think they sat rhyming them out loud as we had done.
3:37 am
Haz1558
Agreed, Andree. Again, having done languages, I was nonplussed when the system seemed to be to avoid talking about grammar at all costs and to just bumble around trying to make sense.
3:38 am
Andree
i don't think they learn those any more
3:39 am
Andree
mr 6 has learnt to read and spell very quickly this his first year at school, I don't see much eveidence of math though
3:40 am
Haz1558
He'll probably be doing it without him or you knowing. Stealth maths.
3:41 am
Andree
pity his granma can't spell,lol
3:41 am
Haz1558
Oh, I don't think you're too bad! You're still ahead of him for a while yet.
3:44 am
Haz1558
Just had a phone call from daughter no 2 confirming our go-ahead to book flights to Dubai for a visit in November to a university friend. That child likes to make use of her passport.
3:45 am
Jacula
Hello. I'm sitting here freezing to death 'cos the gas fitters are here fitting a new boiler etc., and they have all the ruddy doors open.:( I've still got electricity but possibly only until the electrician arrives. (Apparently, gas fitters aren't allowed to touch electrics these days. No wonder the labour costs are so high!)
3:45 am
Andree
what does not cease to amaze me with these kids even 10 year old, they can do the most amazing things with a computer
3:45 am
Atalante
passports die if you don't use them every 6 months
3:45 am
Haz1558
Hello Jacula and Ata.
3:45 am
Andree

Jacula
Haz - my daughter's the same. She's just got back from Canada.
3:46 am
Haz1558
I know, Andree, and they go so fast and so confidently. I'm still sitting there reading the small print in case I blow the thing up.
3:46 am
Andree
mine did all that in her early 20's
3:46 am
jacq
hello everybody
3:46 am
Haz1558
I don't begrudge her - she loves to travel. Her sister loves to stay put.
3:46 am
jacq
small grid today, usually means trouble
3:46 am
Haz1558
Hello jacq.
3:47 am
Andree
i can't get past 38 words
3:47 am
Haz1558
Did your daughter enjoy Canada, Jac?
3:47 am
jacq
hello andree
3:47 am
jacq
38 to go or 38 down?
3:48 am
Haz1558
I've got further than that, but haven't added many words lately. I wonder if that's down to me chatting or down to the words getting harder?
3:48 am
jacq
so it's a hard one?
3:49 am
Haz1558
The thin porridge that is Spangle's daily food is there.
3:49 am
Atalante
that was my first word :0
3:49 am
Haz1558
And take off the last letter for another.
3:49 am
Haz1558
I typed it in, Ata, and thought of you!
3:49 am

Haz1558
Good morning, nice to see you, Eva.
3:51 am
Eva
up much too early, but so it goes.
3:52 am
Haz1558
Jac, will you have one of those fancy new boilers that gives you instant hot water?
3:56 am
Haz1558
I'll have to wait to find out the answer. I'll be back later. Bye for now!
3:58 am
Atalante
bye dear!
3:58 am
Jacula
Haz - Sorry, I was off making tea for the workmen.
3:58 am
Jacula
Yes, daughter loved Canada.
3:58 am
Jacula
Re. boiler - no, not going for a combi boiler. Sticking with the old kind.
4:00 am
o-o
Are getting rid of the radiators, Jacula?
4:04 am
Jacula
Just replacing 30-yr-old boiler and having new thermostate & programmmer and one new bigger radiator for a room that's been extended.
4:04 am
Jacula
Can't spell today! Thermostat.
4:08 am
redturtlehead
morning, could I have a clue for the Single E, either one, i seem to be E less at the moment.
4:09 am
Jacula

4:09 am

a long book or movie is an ep**
4:09 am

Hello, Ata
5:25 am
Atalante
hi zooz!
5:25 am
zoozzoom
i`m not liking this grid today, some tricky words i feel.
5:26 am
Atalante
there's a lot of silly 4 letter words
5:30 am
Atalante
and goodness knows what some of the J words are
5:32 am
zoozzoom
ok this is strange i have just opened expert, and it has todays date on it but not todays grid on it..lol
5:33 am
Atalante
we think that was something to do with daylight savings changing in Aus
5:33 am
Atalante
lickety updated the clues an hour early - but that was still yesterday in grid time
5:33 am
Uneaixoise
well, last nite, lickety announced in the chog "clues are up!" -- but it was an hour before the flip! :-)
5:33 am
Atalante
that was the best sufggestion anyway!
5:34 am
zoozzoom
i see, so expert is no good today then
5:35 am
zoozzoom
in fact lickety is no good at all today, nevermind, will be good for my brain..hahaha
5:37 am
Atalante
fry your brain more like!
5:38 am
zoozzoom
LOL, you are not wrong there Ata :-)
5:40 am
Haz1558
Here's a cryptic clue for one of the j word. It starts a Stone Rolling.
5:40 am
Haz1558
(Feeling smug because I've got the j words)
5:40 am
Atalante
haz! la groomed and gorgeous glitterata!
5:41 am
Haz1558
Indeed! We're just about to head out on our morning walk, the sun is shining.
5:41 am
Haz1558
You're welcome - (for the j word).
5:41 am
Atalante
ooo lucky you! it's horrid here
5:42 am
Eva
it is dark and foggy here
5:42 am
zoozzoom
yes not nice here either, thanks for the `j` word Haz :-)
5:42 am
Haz1558
I've no idea what the forecast is so we'd better make the most of it. Hello zooz and Eva.
5:43 am
Atalante
*everyone tries lipoan* lol
5:43 am
Haz1558
I will. See you later. Bye!
5:43 am

good morning everyone;0

ah..a non-lurker!!

Where do you live, cece? East coast?
6:08 am

6:08 am

scwabby!
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Crossy! I am doing my shower project--you would be so proud---insulation, vapor barrier, Wonderboard done so far. 32 x 37 in area approx
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Cece, I am southeast of Buffalo
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Cross, next step = place tiles. I assume starting from bottom and working up?
6:10 am
Scrabbler
I already had it, Cross, no worry.
6:10 am
ladycece920
i haven't been to that area in years. grew up in NH/VT used to visit Buffalo a bit.
6:10 am
crosshair
yes,from bottom up
6:10 am
Scrabbler
And I have the soap holder too--I have to get that in the right place.
6:11 am
Scrabbler
You left New England, cece? How could you? Burlington is my fantasy home.
6:11 am
crosshair
did you go with traditional heavey ceramic soap dish insert/
6:11 am
ladycece920
scrabbler - is this a DYI project?
6:12 am
Scrabbler
That's what I have and that's what started this mess--nephew tore it off wall but tiles were already loose--my fault for not being proactive
6:12 am
Scrabbler
It sure is, cece! And Crossy has been instructing me
6:12 am
crosshair
i would reconsider that type of soap dish
6:12 am
ladycece920
yes, some days I don't know what I was thinking!!
6:12 am
Scrabbler
What shall I do instead, Cross?
6:13 am
crosshair
they have really nice tetro type 50,s wire soap dishes that stick on,instead of making another great hole in the wall,which was the problem in the first place
6:14 am
Scrabbler
The soap dish unit was stuck on like a tile.
6:15 am
crosshair
remember,its only a bar of soap..dont know who,s idea it was to stick a 10 pund piece of ceramic in the wall for it in the first place;))
6:15 am
ladycece920
lol crossy. Plus the wire one is much easier to clearn!
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I did wonder myself--grabbing handle puts wall at risk
6:15 am
crosshair
indeed lady
6:16 am
crosshair
and you dont get gooey soap
6:16 am
Scrabbler
Good idea, crossy! Easier project now. I bought extra tiles--not an exact match but close
6:16 am
ladycece920
right. I love DIY projects!
6:16 am
crosshair
you can never get exact,not to worry
6:17 am
Scrabbler
me too, cece==I redid 2 bathrooms--new floors, paint, etc. Fun to do.
6:17 am
crosshair
scrabbs,if you have the insulation,the vapour barrier and the wonder board up..the hard part is done!!
6:17 am
Scrabbler
And every trip to The Home Depot or Lowe's gives me ideas for another project.
6:18 am
ladycece920
ain't that the truth. my son calls home depot our toy store! we've replaced all the floors and the kitchen.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Drilling the screws into the Wonderboard while holding up that board was the toughest part! I have blisters on my right palm.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
I want new ceramic or stone tiles in kitchen + hallway
6:18 am
ladycece920
oooo.
6:18 am
crosshair
now THATS a project:)
6:19 am
Scrabbler
I must get ready for work very quickly now! In other shower, of course. Enjoy the day!
6:19 am
ladycece920
there was a tile store going out of business and i bought 2 ceramic tiles designs...now what to do with them!!!
6:19 am
crosshair
tc scrabby
6:19 am
ladycece920
take care scrabbler
6:19 am
Scrabbler
Well, Cross, I don't think I would do that flooring project myself.
6:20 am
Scrabbler
Pay someone to do it now, cece.
6:20 am
ladycece920
think so!!
6:23 am
crosshair
when leveling a floor after stripping it,remember 1 word scrabby....thinset,it will be your best friend
6:24 am
crosshair
then you just lay your floor tiles right over top

there is also this yellw insulating waffle type matt that can be used on top of the thinset and before the tile..it is fairly new you will have to ask about it.helps keep the footies warm on that new tile
6:27 am
ladycece920
that's a good idea since radiant heating in the floor is expensive!
6:33 am
crosshair
your right lady,radiant heatis very expensive but scrabby may have the wherewithal to consider it,but is mostly used as a whole house solution not just a hall way or a kitchen
6:34 am
ladycece920
I think if I lived where you do i would consider it also!
6:34 am
crosshair
when your laying pipe for radiant heatm iit is easier just to run the livingroom,hallways,bathroom and kitchens and bedrooms all at same time
6:34 am
crosshair
add 25% to cost of house
6:35 am
ladycece920
that makes sense, but seems it would increase the value also.
6:37 am
crosshair
oh very much so!
6:37 am

suefrad625
I have a tile floor I didnt put the heating under and oh my goodness durning the winter!
6:44 am
suefrad625
If I ever did it again, I would put the heating wires down, no mater what the cost
6:44 am
crosshair
ok,todays list is in my profile for thosw who need it
6:45 am
crosshair
not wires sue,it is actually piping for hot water,and a whole other hot water tank is involved alnog with special glycol additive
6:45 am
crosshair
and a whole seperate sub floor
6:46 am
suefrad625
I just know I would do it to save money on heating a room
6:46 am
suefrad625
they use water heating at my college
6:46 am
suefrad625
it sounds very cool outside
6:46 am
crosshair
it is a lovely heat..you feel it coming up tween yer toes
6:46 am
suefrad625
Cross, what about leaks
6:46 am
suefrad625
is it accessable?
6:46 am
crosshair
leaks dont happen,they make sure of it
6:47 am
crosshair
it is not readily accesable,but can be done if needed
6:47 am
suefrad625
I asked my school to consider using my house as a project for solar heating, I am awaiting an answer
6:48 am
crosshair
now thats a subkect near and dear to my heart,alternative heating/power sources;))
6:48 am
suefrad625
I love the idea
6:48 am
crosshair
www.wind2power.com
6:48 am
suefrad625
they are still so very expensive though
6:49 am
crosshair
you use a combo sue,some wind,a few solar panels and a rooftop solar,water heater for hot water tank
6:50 am
suefrad625
I love the idea, but I am also in the "city".
6:50 am
crosshair
converting the average 2 bedroom brick bungalow to wind power totally will cost $12,000 dollars plus installation
6:51 am
suefrad625
but if the school comes up with a Yes, I will try to do all they say
6:51 am
suefrad625
here it is about $10,000 a panel I am told
6:52 am
crosshair
you will need panels,storage batteries,and the most expensive part a dc to ac power converter thats wired into you breaker panel
6:52 am
crosshair
but if they will sponsor even enough to do 2 sockets...
6:52 am
suefrad625
I want to do it so badly
6:52 am
suefrad625
I am sure there is a lot of gov. help
6:53 am

6:54 am

6:54 am

I kept my house Gas for the most part to be sure of heat, hotwater and food during power loss
6:54 am

that happens also with turbine aplications.i know a guy who get monthly cheques for 85 dollars from ontario hydro;)
6:55 am
crosshair
his turbine wind system was paid for in 5 years
6:55 am
suefrad625
oh man
6:55 am
suefrad625
I love that
6:56 am
suefrad625
does the ap6 come off the 5?
6:56 am
crosshair
he uses all baeboard heat of course and the only things he had to buy special was the fridge and the freezer
6:57 am
crosshair
and they are not really baseboards,more like a wall mounted box heater with a small blower fan
6:57 am
suefrad625
I have one of those and a gas fireplace w/a blower
6:58 am
suefrad625
with 3 boys I feel like I support the electric company
6:58 am
suefrad625
nobody ever turns off the lights
6:58 am
suefrad625
arggggg
6:58 am

when you do the toal conversion,keep the gas fp and the gas stove
6:58 am
suefrad625

1:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
can anyone clue the pe7? i'm stuck
1:17 pm
jacq
it's a bird with a scoop beak eats fish, or it's a type of pedestrian crossing
1:17 pm
lynxxx
pe7 large bird, very large beak, lives near water
1:17 pm
jmcnrick
the brown pe7 that was almost extinct is now commonly seen flying in the Gulf Coast again

pe7: from my childhood: "pity the poor *******, his beak can hold more than his belly can"
1:18 pm

good one buff
1:18 pm
jmcnrick
oo jac is that a brit term? I never heard that!
1:18 pm
lynxxx
a pedestrian crossing? why are they called that Jacq?
1:18 pm
jacq
i have no idea lynxxx
1:19 pm
jacq
apparently it features a standard set of traffic lights with a push button to operate the lights for crossing
1:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
TY buff, and smack me with a flounder
1:19 pm
lynxxx
we sometimes call them Zebra crossings, as the lines are painted on an angle
1:19 pm
jacq
i love google
1:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i understand that a pe7 crossing is painted in crosshatching, whereas the zebra crossing is striped
1:20 pm
FMitch
pe7/36 crossings in the UK have flasing lights on them, Zebra crossings hae back and while tarmac stipres layed down on the road.
1:20 pm
Atalante
there are pegasus, toucans, and tigers too
1:20 pm
jacq
crosshatch here means you can't enter it if your way is blocked unless turning right
1:20 pm
jacq
i think it's because of the lights
1:21 pm
Atalante
The official name is Pelicon crossing (short for pedestrian light controlled crossing)
1:21 pm
lynxxx
thats clever
1:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
here in the US we have zebra crossings, but no one knows that they are, and pedestrians are fair game (except in a few places)
1:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
in my area they just constructed two roundabouts, which they are testing out, in a fairly rural area, to see if USian drivers can handle them
1:23 pm
Atalante
they can't lol. Astoria's 1 roundabout is notorious for cluelessness
1:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
you see, we USian drivers have high crash rate and high idiot-at-the-wheel rate
1:23 pm
FMitch
LOL all these lights and stipes! - HAve things to do - lovely to chat and clue. happy Babbling all.
Ata if you happened to be on yahoo *grin*
1:23 pm
lynxxx
Roundabouts are good. We have quite a lot
1:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i favor the roundabout over the standard intersection, for saving fuel. it is an improvement over the "michigan left"
1:24 pm
Atalante
I can't I can't - going out in a sec - will explain all tomorrow!
1:24 pm
jacq
roundabouts are great for traffic control, but in Elgin (the flood town) there are 7 roundabouts in less than 2 miles and it causes chaos
1:25 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i think that would be too many roundabout all right. OY
1:26 pm
Atalante
the Magic Roundabout is the scariest!
1:26 pm
jacq
it's a nightmare because it actually blocks the free flow of traffic between the roundabout at the shopping centre and bus station and the one 50 yards away for the supermarket and the main aberdeen - inverness trunk road and the hospital
1:26 pm
jmcnrick
what's a michigan left?
1:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
our "test" roundabouts have 2 giant signs for each approach, showing exactly how the thing works, and they have sensible arrows in all the lanes showing where to go
1:27 pm
jmcnrick
in DC there are sting operations to ticket people who don't stop for pedestrians (tourists) a principal part of our economy
1:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
"michigan left" = turn right, go 1/4-mile, turn left into the viaduct, turn left again, voile
1:28 pm
jmcnrick
but it still isn't like canada where they come to a screeching halt if you are near the edge of a curb
1:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the "michigan left" eradicate turning left in an intersection, and reduces accident rate, since lots of accidents involve left turns
1:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
michigan lefts are common all over the place, in michigan, but pretty rare in other states
1:28 pm
jmcnrick
I was waiting for a car to drive past me on a 4 lane street and it came to a sudden halt and I walked up to the window and asked where in canada they were from
1:29 pm
lynxxx
lol jmc, and were they?
1:29 pm
jmcnrick
UPS apparently routes all their trucks to avoid all left turns and it saves them 10% in gasoline
1:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jm, they were cdn??
1:29 pm
jmcnrick
oh yes, they were
1:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
in salt lake city drivers will stop for pedestrians, religiously. and i mean that, literally. other big cities, though, watch your ass
1:30 pm
jmcnrick
never saw the like anywhere else than canada
1:30 pm
jmcnrick
in salt lake they were pretty good
1:31 pm
lynxxx
So canadians are really really polite or else they had a program of massive fines if you don't give pedestrians right away?
1:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
was in salt lake at a convention once, and we were given info about how drivers would stop for us, and so of course i tested that and yes, they stopped for pedestrians. freaking amazing
1:32 pm
o-o
You be watching your posterior and your anterior likely will become acquainted with another car
1:32 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
canadians are really polite. and damn good drivers. in my experience 10% of US drivers know what they're doing, 90% of canadian drivers know what they're doing
1:32 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(give or take)
1:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
it's a real joy, and rare occasion, to see someone driving intelligently here
1:34 pm

i heard a statistic once that 80% of crashes involving a truck and a car were caused by the car driver
1:39 pm

i would say 99% of truck drivers are fantastically good drivers
1:39 pm
torgone
Having been a truck driver, I agree ..
1:40 pm
Atalante
please tell that to the psycho east european drivers that drive through kent!
1:41 pm

the close call I had was the fault of the truck driver because he did not look for me before he started changing lanes
1:41 pm
jmcnrick
but I would say that was the exception
1:43 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hey, just talking about US truck drivers that I've been on the road with. lol
1:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
whereas, every day, i see all sorts of bad drivers of passenger cars. riding on the line, swimming from lane to lane, tailgating, speeding recklessly, not signalling, signalling a mile before their turn, signalling all the way across town, etc

"Reaching higher levels means that your brain is faster and more flexible. How many you get correct doesn’t really matter, because the game adapts to you. What matters is speed."

would it increase concentration itself, or just the brain's ability to process two things at once?

the doctors are working really hard, BR, really they are. It's' just hard to get all the factors together, and get him healthy again. unfortunately, he is going the other way. Today they taped his eyelids closed, which really upsets me, for some weird reason

hello lbd. thanks, dear one.
9:44 pm
Nef
Hello, everybody. How are you all tonight?
9:45 pm
lbdawger
Hi Neffie! tired, but doing well, and yourself?
9:48 pm
Nef
reading back in the chog; Trifi, sorry to hear of your Dad. What is the matter with him?
9:49 pm
Nef
Hi lbd. I'm in the same shape as you.
9:49 pm
Trifioso
hey nef. he fell on thursday night, breaking four ribs, at least one of which punctured his lung and collapsed it. He has continued to worsen since then. it's really bleak at the moment
9:49 pm
Nef
Trifi, I was here early this AM and crossy had clues in his profile
9:50 pm
Nef
How old is he ?
9:50 pm
Trifioso
I have a list from bab anon.....to be honest, I am not exactly focused today....
9:50 pm
lbdawger
understandably, to not be focused on the grid, trif. Is he in otherwise good health?
9:51 pm
Nef
(DH's 84 year old Aunt fell 2 weeks ago and broke both wrists; she's recuperating here at my house)
9:51 pm
Trifioso
actually, no - and that is not helping now. make your life choices carefully, friends, as they really come to light when something like this happens
9:52 pm
Trifioso
smoking, drinking, and a few extra pounds really will make things worse
9:52 pm
Nef
that's true, Trifi.
9:53 pm
torgone
Too true ..
9:54 pm
lbdawger
but he's in good hands, and i'm sure the medical people are doing their best for him.
9:54 pm
Trifioso
they really are, lbd. they really are
9:54 pm
Nef
DH's Aunt Jean is very spunky; still was getting her 10,000 steps on her pedometer before she fell. Took her in on Friday for casting, and the doc refused to do it as she has overdone stuff and displaced her bones in both wrists!
9:55 pm
Trifioso
wow, that is a bummer to hear, nef.
9:56 pm
Nef
Trifi, when they tape the eyes shut it's so the eyeballs don't get sores on them from drying out.
9:56 pm
lbdawger
omg, Nef. I bet she's a pistol when she can't be up and about doing stuff
9:57 pm
Trifioso
thanks nef. I was really thrown off about it.
9:57 pm
Nef
She's a pistol now too! Normally lives independently; but she's stuck here at our house now for the entire 6 weeks til the bones mend
9:57 pm
Nef
he must be on a ventilator and sedation, right?
9:57 pm
lbdawger
is she the cause of your exhaustion, Nef?
9:58 pm
Trifioso
yes, nef, he is, and the breathing tube is causing nothing but problems. they just can't get it out, and he is not over breathing the vent
9:59 pm
Nef
lbd, no. I really enjoy her. It's just that my co-worker (the only other paid RN) had surgery the same week and she is out sick for 6 weeks. I'm working overtime
10:00 pm
Nef
Trifi, has he had the breathing tube for 6 days now?
10:00 pm
lbdawger
yikes, neffie! don't wear yourself out!
10:01 pm
Trifioso
well, let's see...he fell wed night into thursday, and I guess he got it around 3 am Thurs, so that makes....4 days this morning at 3
10:02 pm
Nef
Good Grief! Here I thought it was Wednesday today! (Maybe I am doing too much!
10:03 pm
Nef
okay, you said he is NOT over breathing the vent?
10:03 pm
Trifioso
I believe that is correct nef, yes, and he has a temp, and he is a "hemological challenge" or something like that
10:03 pm
lbdawger
(((TRIF))) (((NEF))), i've gotta go find my pillows, keeping your loved ones in my prayers. see you tomorrow, and I hope you have better news.
10:04 pm
Trifioso
thanks lbd
10:04 pm
Nef
thanks, lbd. Get some good sleep!
10:06 pm
Nef
if he isn't over-breathing the vent, that's a good sign. If he IS over-breathing it, they would try to get the tube out faster or give him more sedation
10:08 pm
Trifioso
oh, okay, thanks. I Know his breathing is an issue. he can't muster enough strength to cough the tube out
10:09 pm
jesdraggon
hi all
10:09 pm
Nef
GOOD! No one wants him to cough the tube out! (That's always a nighmare for family and staff when the pt. is choking on the tube)
10:10 pm
Trifioso
okay. thanks so much nef. I am goingt o try to sleep some now. prob be back in 5 mins when I can't sleep.
10:10 pm
