so, rather than dive in, I shall bid you adieu. Nef, my email is in my profile. Write if you want to, I don't know a lot about MS per se, but sometimes the questions from people who don't know can help you think about things in a new light.

Andree
hugo is gorgeous, we have fitted so well and he lets the kids do anything with him, poor thing has spend some of his day in the toy box today, at least he is too big for the pram now!!! a great choice with small children around
2:37 am
Andree
and the work from home office is great
2:37 am
FMitch
LOL re the pram. So glad everything is working out well :)
2:39 am

Hi Andree & FM

Hi there lynxxx
2:40 am
Andree
1st day of winter here so your garden must be looking good now fmitch
2:41 am
FMitch
Noy quite yet Andree but it is geting there - we are due to be drowned in rain today. What temps do you have on the 1st day of winter?
2:42 am
sandyloo
hi guys, andree what type of dog did you get?
2:42 am
sandyloo
its 24 degrees celcius here in Perth and the sun is shining on the first day of winter
2:43 am
Andree
its 5.45pm and 16degrees C
2:43 am
Andree
16-18 predicted all week and rain
2:44 am
FMitch
just working out those temps into f figs.
2:44 am
lynxxx
similar to Melbourne Andree, but drizzle rather than rain
2:44 am
sandyloo
andree what type of dog are you talking about?
2:45 am
Andree
a spaniel/poodle cross called a spoodle
2:45 am
sandyloo
ok, my friend has one - he is a lovely dog
2:45 am
FMitch
lol your winer temps are our summer temps - althought aparently we are going to get up into the high 70s by the end of this week :)
2:46 am
sandyloo
and he doesn't drop hair
2:46 am
sandyloo
my favourite weather is raining
2:48 am
Andree
no he doesn't shed, if i had anything to complain about it would be about keeping his curls brushed as he looks like he has dreadlocks if i leave it a couple of days, he is 9 1/2 months so time has flown
2:49 am
FMitch
Darn must be off for a while - Happy Babbling.
2:49 am
Andree
we have very mild winters in sydney, but we still complain about the cold and have the heaters going full pelt,lol
2:50 am
sammysmom
clue please for the second un 6/21

Andree
i have the plural of the one before sammy
2:53 am
sammysmom
thanks andre- smacked me with it-lol
2:54 am
sandyloo
my friend keeps hers nicely clipped andree and he always looks gorgeous, he is a light golden colour
2:56 am
Andree
hugo is also light gold, his curls are so cute, i cannot bear to have him clipped but will probably have to succumb in the summer as his coat is really thick
2:57 am
sandyloo
I know how you feel andree, I used to have poodles and didn't want them clipped but in the end it is more comfortable and clean for them
3:10 am
Andree
i need to move away for a while, maybe thing will jump up at me later with fresh eyes

3:52 am

good morning! I'm back from my "party weekend" in London
3:52 am
rubyfoo
congraTS SANDY!
3:59 am
rubyfoo
is anybody thee? lurkers?
4:10 am
FMitch
Hi ruby - I am here if you are still?
4:10 am
rubyfoo
hello hello FM!!!
4:10 am
FMitch
How is the trip going??
4:11 am
FMitch
or how was the trip?
4:11 am
rubyfoo
I even played a couple of games with my 13 yr old nephew. We played as Rubyfoo and Shadow (the name of his dog). I'm home, got home yesterday
4:11 am
FMitch
Did you have a good time?
4:12 am
rubyfoo
It is was great! London is, however, for this small-village woman, sort of overwhelming and VERY expensive. After a while, I took the Underground which was pretty scary but at least was inexpensive.
4:12 am
rubyfoo
I forgot how beautiful London is!
4:12 am
rubyfoo
I even danced at the Saturday night party!
4:12 am
rubyfoo
still sore, thugh!
4:13 am
FMitch
well done ruby - the underground can be scary but is very practical.
4:13 am
FMitch
yay ruby - dusted off your dancing shoes :)
4:13 am
rubyfoo
and I got to see y friend who lives in Surrey, took the railroad and felt very brave and proud of meyself!
4:14 am
FMitch
Where does she live?
4:14 am
rubyfoo
I haven't danced in 2 years, used to dance A LOT "in the day"
4:15 am
rubyfoo
she lives in Sunninghill, closest station is in Ascot. We've been friends for about 22 years as her husband (now retired, like us), was a biz associate of my husband, and she and I became friends back then when she visited Miami
4:15 am
FMitch
Noooo!!!! I lived in Sunninhill for ages before I moved last November!
4:16 am
rubyfoo
my nephew and family were very welcome and there was a series of parties and open-house type occasions. I found being around that many people rather tough (again small town, etc) but they were lovely.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
Their house is Oakwood Lodge, Sunninghill. That is an impossibl coincidence! It is beautiful there; When I was still working and was a runner, I used to spend weekends with them and take walks with Margaret and her dogs and used to run in the early mornings.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
that was welcoming! my typing didn't improve over the weekend
4:18 am
rubyfoo
And my friend's garden is magnificent with huge yellow azaleas and rhododendrons.
4:18 am
FMitch
*heads off to google*
4:19 am
rubyfoo
They are South Africans of Scottish descent
4:19 am
rubyfoo
I'm still stunned at the coincidence. It would be like finding somebody who used to live in this {tiny] village!
4:21 am
FMitch
OMG - their house is about 1/2 a mile away from where I lived!
4:21 am
rubyfoo
that is amazing! Do you play golf? You might have known my friend.
4:22 am
FMitch
LOL - No - never got off the driving green. Although Dad did play at Wentowrth.
4:23 am
herinfernallady
Hello
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I'll ask Margaret where she played. She doesn't any more, has bad arthritis etc. Also doesn't have dogs anymore although she had 3 when I met her those many years ago
4:23 am
rubyfoo
hello herin
4:23 am
FMitch
Hi herin :)
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I just found out that the friend outside London whom I visited on Sunday lives about 1/2 mile from where FM lives
4:24 am
herinfernallady
WOW hello (just reading back
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I am smiling like crazy!
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I love that kind of "small world" experience. It's like finding someone who shares your birthday
4:25 am
FMitch
but have to adjust that to *where FM lived*
4:26 am
rubyfoo
lived*, sorry, too excited to type properly and, BTW, very happy to be home
4:27 am
FMitch
Since I moved I am now in the sticks (and loving it). Loved living in Berkshire for so many years butnow loving it here in West Sussex.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
it is wonderfully quiet "in the sticks" and for me, that is very important
4:27 am
FMitch
Are the dogs happy to see you ruby?
4:28 am
herinfernallady
I still think that is cool
4:28 am
rubyfoo
Ruby was ecstatic; it took Max a little while to remember me!
4:28 am
rubyfoo
very cool, Herin
4:29 am
rubyfoo
if "shadow" comes on, using Rubyfoo, you'll know it's my 13 yr old nephew
4:32 am
rubyfoo
he is actually my nephew's son, nephew is 50!
4:32 am
rubyfoo
he has 3 teenage sons, all of whom are amazing -- polite, smart, affectionate, lovely.
4:34 am
FMitch
Laughing so much as a blackbird is taking a bath in the bird bath - such fun!
4:34 am
rubyfoo
I have to make lunch for husband who is SO happy that i'M HOME. i THINK THERE'LL BE SOME PHOTOS ON LINE AND i'LL MAKE A LINK TO MY PROFILE IF/WHEN THEY ARRIVE. a PHOTOGRAPHER FOLLOWED US AROUND ALL WEEKEND!
4:34 am
rubyfoo
whoops, sorry for shouting. Sloppy, cold fingers!
4:35 am
FMitch
Look forward to seeing the pics ruby.
4:35 am
rubyfoo
we have about 20-30 fish left in the pond, so, unless they are all girls, they should re-populate it and husband has quit grieving!
4:35 am
rubyfoo
thank you. Talk to you gals later! ((hugss)); it's very nice to be back

hi Carlee! how are you?
5:20 am
carleekat
i'm surviving
5:20 am
carleekat
feeling very overwhelmed by my job
5:21 am
carleekat
and u lynxxx?
5:22 am
lynxxx
Huge change jobwise, not surprised. Must be very rewarding when you look back on your day though. and you said yr new boss was supportive?
5:22 am
lynxxx
my days are very boring - and I am still enjoying it
5:23 am
carleekat
yes..she is...but when i make any kind of mistake ifeel like I have completely let her down...and my stomach turns inside o ut
5:23 am
carleekat
doesnt help i've had someone telling me for 20 years that i am incapable..
5:25 am
lynxxx
Everyone makes mistakes. Its only when people don't fess up to them and don't learn from them that is a worry. You won't be letting her down I am sure
5:26 am
carleekat
i know everyone does
5:26 am
lynxxx
As for your last sentence - you KNOW you aren't. Some people can only build themselves up by putting others down - and happily he has gone now.
5:26 am
carleekat
its a learning curve
5:27 am
carleekat
i get it...but i still turn my insides out
5:28 am
carleekat
i find myself giving me a pep talk..and a focus talk and a " just get through today" talk all the time...
5:31 am
carleekat
on top of everything else my dad is sick and we dont know why
5:33 am
lynxxx
I recommend an occasional end of the day chat with your Boss over a coffee. Open up to her a bit about how you are coping workwise. It is very rewarding to have your staff be open and honest with you. She will give you feedback so you can truly judge how you are going at work.
5:33 am
lynxxx
Are they doing tests on your Dad?
5:34 am
carleekat
she does..we do... and yes they are...still nothing...he went from playing golf daily ( no golf cart ) to losing 40 pounds in 2 months and now having to walk with a cane
5:36 am
lynxxx
That does sound serious, he can't be too old either? What are they doing next?
5:36 am
carleekat
no idea... he's 71... i will find out more on the weekend
5:38 am
lynxxx
Not so old (nowadays). Will keep my fingers crossed that they found out the problem soon so he can start getting better
5:38 am
carleekat
thanks lynxxx
5:43 am
lynxxx
Must go and get some dinner. Usually wait til daughter gets home (about 10.30pm) but don't think I can tonight. See you later Carlee

JBV
I don't think anyone wants my job - it's hard enough right now, and with the personnel cuts (thanks to Gov. Christie) the new boss will have less support
6:53 am
Scrabbler
It's been raining here since during the night and the ground sure needs the water.
6:54 am
JBV

7:10 am
NonoNanette

7:11 am
NonoNanette

7:11 am
guernseygirl
the u's are like something pertaining to passing water
7:11 am
guernseygirl
that's a better clue. i was working on spelling it backwards
7:13 am
herinfernallady
I found biscuits in the cupboard. Bad bad idea
7:13 am

guernseygirl

7:19 am
guernseygirl

7:30 am
Riverdance
he was just punishing you for being away
7:30 am
guernseygirl
that's males for you
7:30 am
rubyfoo
no, I think he really couldn't quite place me but once he got up his courage to sniff my head, he was fine!
7:30 am
Riverdance
maybe you need to go away more often - lol
7:31 am
rubyfoo
my legs are still sore from all the walking and dancing I did. And London was pretty cold and I wasn't warmly dressed enough.

7:42 am
Anniebrook
Hi Momneeds
7:42 am
rubyfoo
and the peonies started on Sunday
7:43 am
Anniebrook
I absolutely adore peonies.
7:43 am
rubyfoo
London is more beautiful than I remembered but it's overwhelmingly large!
7:43 am
rubyfoo
peonies are the stars of this garden!
7:43 am
Anniebrook
what color are they?
7:43 am
lynxxx
you are such a country girl now Ruby
7:44 am
rubyfoo
it's true, and to think I come fro NY originally -- lost my city chops
7:44 am
rubyfoo
I have regular pink ones, magenta ones and huge fancy white ones (only 3 flowers this year, though)
7:45 am
rubyfoo
I'm afraid to look at the vegetable garden, it is probably a total mess
7:45 am
Anniebrook
Your garden must be magnificent
7:45 am
rubyfoo
and the roses are all opening - several shades of pink, salmon, violet-pink, pale pink and white
7:46 am
rubyfoo
I love it, but it's mostly complex bords. I think Mom needs has a bigger and better garden
7:46 am
Anniebrook
does hubby help with the garden or is the garden your domain?
7:46 am
rubyfoo
what is good is the color plan
7:46 am
rubyfoo
borders* duh
7:47 am
rubyfoo
I designed it but mostly just point and the handyman does the work. Husband just does the lawns. He refuses to learn the difference between weeds and perennials!
7:47 am
rubyfoo
and I'm too frail to do anything much except weed (and point) lol
7:48 am
Anniebrook
just like a husband. lol. pointing is good.

8:41 am
EvaNadine
lovely trip, thankyou. :)
i should have worn more sunblock and been safe, but its nice to have a tan for once!
8:41 am
sprite
moderate sun and tan are good!
8:42 am
EvaNadine
i only have a tan for a little while. i got myself burned first and its already starting to peel...
8:43 am
sprite
same thing here, I don't bother with tanning anymore. Last leftovers of chestnut hair, I guess ;)
I love the sun though, as long as I can keep to the shades.
8:44 am
Judi
Okay. I've conformed to the theme.
8:44 am
sprite
oh, good one, Judi! And HUGE!
8:45 am
EvaNadine
i generally only burn + peel. no matter how little time ive spent in the sun. i generally stay out of it or wear heavy sunscreen, but on the rare occasions that i do find myself burned, i try to enjoy the short period of tan while its there. :)
8:45 am
Judi
Ty. When it comes to wind power, a bigger turbine is better.
8:45 am

8:48 am

No C'nan. First time I have seen him mention it

5:46 pm
gapeach
lynxxx, I think I will get away from the board for a while....I have so many depressed friends and I try to do my very best to help them and yet I know that, ultimately, they have to want to be helped....not that he doesn't. I just breaks my heart that someone would offer help and then not respond.
5:48 pm
lynxxx
I understand where you are at Peach. It could be that they are logged on all the time (as I am) but not actually playing/reading chat. Let's hope he tries reaching out again to them and they see it

6:29 pm
redturtlehead
a lot of people have trouble with starches, I think its because we were taught to look at potatos as a veg, but they arent like broccoli.
6:29 pm
crosshair
ty again luv
6:30 pm
cybernan
I don't think it is the potato -- it is the butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon bits that go with it!
6:30 pm
crosshair
potatos i can do,just bread and pasta pack it on
6:30 pm
crosshair
bacon....drool that is totally verboten:(
6:31 pm
redturtlehead
I think a calorie is a calorie. Nothing actually makes you gain more weight or less weight...its just how much of it you eat.
6:31 pm
cybernan
who can turn down potatoes au gratin sprinkled with bacon crumbs?
6:31 pm
redturtlehead
Very few people Cyber nan, that sounds nice.

Hi again. I'm back for more
8:10 pm
Nef
My garden is in; but it shouold be interesting: 45 tomato plants and 28 pepper plants. NO herbs, no greens. DH will have a coniption about that (not to mention all the tomatoes and peppers in such a small space!
8:10 pm
Pinikula

8:11 pm

Sounds like you like salsa!
8:11 pm
Pinikula
hi boo and gwen
8:12 pm
Nef
I bought the 6 plant packs; didn't realize how many there were in that small little pkg. I refused to pay $4.50 for a single plant in a 3 inch pot!
8:12 pm
Pinikula
no kidding!
8:13 pm
Nef
Gwenski, we like salsa but not *that* much! I'll be doing some canning again I guess
8:13 pm
Pinikula
or sharing with the neighbors! :)
8:13 pm
welki
hi, babblers
8:13 pm
gwenski
Our garden is more modest. I haven't learned the art of canning, just the joy of sharing!
8:14 pm
Pinikula
hi welki
8:14 pm
Pinikula
Last time I tried anything, I planted 2 tomato plants and some herbs...nothing came in worth using and the only thing that has survived is the thyme!
8:15 pm
Nef
I share a lot too. I actually put several plants into 4" pots for my neighbors who are moving away in 3 weeks. :-( (These are the ones I'm "gramma" to their kids)
8:16 pm
Pinikula
awww, sweet, nef!
8:16 pm

Hello Babblers! the gang is all here!

8:17 pm

It turned out to be alright, not very busy, which gave me time to think.
8:17 pm
redturtlehead
Nah, I finished this morning.
8:18 pm
Pinikula

8:18 pm

8:22 pm
redturtlehead
Hmmm, so really she plans to be out of there on the 15th...
8:23 pm
Pinikula
I'm not sure she'll wait that long...she's got short-timers' syndrome now...
8:23 pm
Pinikula
...and, yes, Nef, did you mention the "blockhead" to him??
8:23 pm
redturtlehead

HE was telling me that the PT therapist thinks he's ready to come home this week. For good. I asked him if he'd told her that hedoesn't use (nor do we own!) a wheelchair! He looked at me like "OH! I didn't think of that!"

8:36 pm
Pinikula
(except for the chair snafu)
8:37 pm
Nef
It's scary though. He has to be ALONE for 8 to 12 hours when I'm at work; what if he falls and breaks something during a day that I work?
8:37 pm
wildcat17
do you have any friends or relatives who could check on him during the day?
8:38 pm
Pinikula
any friends who might consider taking turns "visiting" for periods during the day?

nef would he use a chair if you had one?
8:41 pm
Nef
my favorite neighbors are moving away in 3 weeks, the neighbor on the other side died in December and the closing on that house is tomorrow, 2 houses down is a retired friend of DH's who has several volunteer "jobs" and most of the rest of the people on our end of the block work full time
8:41 pm
Pinikula
I can be, peri...but should probably take koda out before starting...can you hang here for a few minutes?
8:42 pm
Nef
peri, he's in a rehab/ transitional care unit now
8:42 pm
Minski
Hello everyone!
8:42 pm

I hope y'all had a great Memorial Day Weekend!

8:43 pm
periwinkle
don't know if you can afford it but you can always pay for additon home care. also how old is your DH?
8:43 pm
Nef
I know peri; I'm just starting this whole road right now
8:43 pm
periwinkle
I was a social worker for over 20 years
8:44 pm
periwinkle
did lots of discharge planning
8:44 pm
wildcat17
minski it sounds like a struggle but spelled differently at the end
8:45 pm
Nef
We are in our 60's peri. He's been on disability retirement from the Federal Government and hasn't collected Social Security because if he does, they reduce his retirement pension $2 for every $1 he would get in SS
8:45 pm
periwinkle
there must be a case manager or social worker you can speak with. they should have a meeting prior to discharge and have you and your husband there to discuss discharge options
8:45 pm
jmbdobie2
okay - i give up sort of... can anyone give me a general clue for la7,28

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
8:46 pm
Nef
And I work for a non-profit because of an OTJ foot injury and can't work as a hospital nurse anymore. My pension isn't enough to live on; but our "income" is too much for us to get help from many sources
8:47 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

can't think of any more to offer at the momen, Nef. but your husband's safety is most important once he is discharged
8:48 pm
wildcat17
yw and congrats
8:48 pm
Nef
I'm going to ask to talk to a case worker or social worker tomorrow though. You've given me lots of good help
8:49 pm
periwinkle
ask for a case manager or social worker, sometimes they are the same person, stree that he will be alone for long periods of time and see what they say

Nef, talk to the discharge social worker at the rehab and tell them what your needs are. Let them know that you are out of the house for an extended period a couple of days a week. It maybe possible to get a home health aid that would come in for 2 - 3 hours on the days that you work, as long as there is a need for personal care that your DH can't do himself.

oops, something weird between lickety and the board. Lickety shows that all I have left is to 4/4, the board shows that I have one 6 letter T word left. This will be hard to find....
11:12 pm
gortmold
yeah i've had that happen before
11:12 pm
Barb's Horses
now why didn't I see that
11:13 pm
Nef
try refreshing and then copying and entering all your words from Babble to lickety
11:13 pm
Nef
it's a sneaky word today, Barb's
11:14 pm
Barb's Horses
I think i just didn't look there still wondering why my horse acted up today???? I have never seen this side of him...very strange
11:15 pm
Nef
why? What happened?
11:15 pm
Barb's Horses
i really need to get some nice weather again so I can go up and at least lunge him.....He bolted through his door after I wormed him...broke right through a chain almost knocked me over
11:16 pm
gortmold
gotten close to his worms, had he?
11:16 pm
Barb's Horses
my horses have always been very quiet indeed...it kind of unnerved me
11:16 pm
fuzzybunny
Nef, thanks for the advice about refreshing and reloading. It worked.
11:16 pm
Barb's Horses
then when the vet came to give him his summer shots he freaked out again
11:17 pm
Nef
horses can be really touchy I understand. My sister is a vet and she loves horses and working on them; but doesn't trust them at all
11:17 pm
Nef
great, fuzzy Did you find out what you're missing?
11:19 pm
Barb's Horses
it has been a strange week up there...last wed I got smacked in the back and shoulder by one of the other ones...and yes nef you should always be on your guard for sure...but going on 5 years I have never seen this from him...he would climb in your lap for a cuddle if you let him...guess he was just really having a bad day
11:19 pm
fuzzybunny
yes, the first ta 6/18, i am monkeying like mad!
11:20 pm
Nef
deworming AND shots. Do you blame him?
11:20 pm
Pinikula

11:20 pm
fuzzybunny
Hi Pini, hope you had a nice walk
11:20 pm
Barb's Horses
no I don't blame him...just trying to understand the change is all
11:20 pm
Pinikula
didn't really walk...but "monitored" him from the back deck (it's raining out)
11:20 pm
Nef
fuzzy, ad a cross letter to the word above it. I just finished my T's on that word too
11:20 pm

11:39 pm
Barb's Horses
how did it go then?
11:40 pm
Pinikula
wish I didn't have to work, but thankfully I like my job (about 99% of the time)
11:40 pm
Pinikula
got two major projects done (one was in the works; the other I got this morning)
11:40 pm
Barb's Horses
I wish I could go back to work...but no one would want me for only 2 hours a day...and since they do have to hire you for at least 4
11:41 pm
Pinikula
I'd hire ya, barb!! I could use 2 hrs worth of help everyday!!!!
11:41 pm
Barb's Horses
wish I was closer then thanks for the vote pini
11:42 pm
Pinikula
anytime! ;)
11:43 pm
Barb's Horses
I though about volunteering too but again they want at least 4 hours...so I keep my mom company or try to do babble...along with a few chores here or there
11:44 pm
Pinikula
I'm a budget manager for two small departments at a large university; I have someone who does the day-to-day activities in one department, while I do the same in the other; but do the financials for both...
11:44 pm
Pinikula
I didn't realize there was a time requirements on volunteering...
11:45 pm
Barb's Horses
sounds like it could be very interesting
11:45 pm
Pinikula
it definitely keeps me busy ;)
11:45 pm
Barb's Horses
I didn't either....seems silly to me
11:46 pm
Barb's Horses
busy is good...makes the day go by
11:46 pm
Barb's Horses
boy there is alot of sirens going tonight
11:46 pm
Pinikula

11:47 pm
Pinikula
sirens? wow...I rarely hear them...
11:48 pm
Barb's Horses
the back of our house has a main road which leads up to the Golden Ears Park....kids go up an party alot there
11:49 pm
Pinikula
oh my...
11:50 pm
Barb's Horses
It is cute our little dog has to run to the window to watch them go by
11:51 pm
Pinikula
If graduation events don't take my entire weekend, I'll be rearranging the livingroom furniture so Koda can't make the window blinds look even more like they should be in an old trailer park...
11:51 pm
Barb's Horses
what kind of dog is Koda?
11:52 pm
Pinikula
Beagle ;)
11:53 pm
Pinikula
I have a field across the street from the front of my house and periodically, if he sees someone either walking by or playing in the field, he goes absolutely bonkers at the window; thus the massacre of the blinds! :)
11:54 pm
Barb's Horses
I think one of our old dogs was crossed with a Beagle...she was suppose to be huskey and shepard but not big enough for either...she would get the Beagle stance and had the shrill bark too
11:54 pm
Barb's Horses
you could try leaving them open ..... no?
11:55 pm
Pinikula
can't really leave them open 'cuz it would allow too much visibility into the house (not good when I'm not hear)
11:55 pm
Barb's Horses
She passed away just before xmas last year...she was 17 and had cancer which we didn't know about until it was way too late...she never showed any signs of discomfort...and only slowed in the last year or so
11:55 pm
jillibus
