Or anyone else, for that matter.

Or paisley, if you were daring and it was circa 1968

1:38 am

MPittore

I love paisley...have some on dining room chairs right now....

Morning everybody.

3:54 am

sprite

morning all

3:55 am

Soodle

Hello Sprite. How lovely to see you. Are you well?

3:56 am

sprite

well enough, Soodle. How about you?

3:56 am

Soodle

All the better for it being Friday. :-)

3:56 am

Soodle

Whats the weather doing in Holland?

3:57 am

sprite

hehehe indeed.

3:57 am

sprite

storming and raining, occasionally hail too. It is Autumn, with a vengeance.

3:58 am

Soodle

Ditto here. And the evenings get dark now about 4.00 pm - I really hate dark evenings.

3:59 am

sprite

always takes me some time to get used to too. The dark months aren't easy on my energy or optimism. But making it warm and cosy inside helps.

3:59 am

sprite

K Konkurred

4:00 am

Soodle

Your right. Warm and cosy is the way to go..... I'm not finding this grid one bit friendly.....

4:01 am

sprite

22 words down so far, so cannot say anything remotely sensible about it yet, grin

4:01 am

Soodle

LOL. Sprite - I gotta go & do a bit of work! I will be lurking in and out. Happy Babbling :-)

4:02 am

sprite

bye Soodle, have a good day!

4:11 am

sprite

50 left... not too bad a grid, I think. But the final 50 may trip me, of course ;)

4:16 am

Lilecama

hello everyone...

4:16 am

sprite

hi Lile

4:17 am

Lilecama

Did you just get 30 odd words in 10 mins sprite????!!!

4:17 am

sprite

seems to be a fast grid, yes. Down to 34 now.

4:18 am

Lilecama

hmmm - still a bit of a puzzle for me. You must have dictionary eyes

4:18 am

sprite

no, just have babbled for longer, Lile. After a couple of years one develops an eye for the patterns, I think.

4:19 am

Lilecama

how long a babbler are you?

4:19 am

sprite

almost from the beginning, I believe. 2004? 2006?

4:20 am

Lilecama

wow... daily?

4:21 am

sprite

most days, yes. Especially since I am in charge of the icon themes.

4:22 am

Lilecama

:) that's a lot of days / hours... It's really nice to know that there are some dedicated people around babble. Icon themes, lickety... it makes it all a very welcoming and homely game.

4:23 am

Lilecama

I'm just over halfway now and struggling....

4:23 am

sprite

I spend a lot of hours at the computer, because I am handicapped. Babble is good for keeping my brain active and I love the chog. Very good people here on babble :)

4:25 am

Soodle

Sprite, delurking for a second - I had no idea you were handicapped. Not that it makes a whit of difference, but I just never knew!

4:26 am

Lilecama

O, I'm sorry to hear that sprite. What handicap do you have? I can imagine that something like babble is wonderful. Not only for the mind but also because of the people that get together...

4:26 am

sprite

nah it isn't that important. Just a reason I spend more hours at the computer than most people.

4:27 am

Soodle

LOL - who needs a reason! I take my lap-top into work, and babble under the desk, because the IT people here took away my access to Babble from my desktop. Babble-addicted or what?

4:28 am

sprite

unstable pelvic girldle, no feeling in the feet and ptsd. Nothing life threatening and even though the chances are slim, I still hope for some improvement.
Yes, Babble is a great place. Caring, intelligent people willing to chat about almost everything, from mundane to spiritual and from serious to ludicrous. I love you a lot!

4:28 am

Lilecama

lol soodle!

4:28 am

sprite

LOL Soodle! That is the spirit!

4:29 am

Soodle

Are you confined to a wheelchair, Sprite?

4:30 am

sprite

lol no... I made such an utter scene when they wanted me to get a wheel chair that my husband finally humored me with crutches. It took me 10 years, but now I can walk without a stick! Not far, but still.

4:30 am

Lilecama

gosh, sprite... I'm so sorry. Life threatening or not it must have a terrific influence on your life, the way you live it and what you can and cannot do. I'm not sure what ptsd is, but I understand that just with the pelvis and feet not being what they were designed for is a challenge to live with. God bless you Sprite.

4:32 am

sprite

ptsd is a neurological/psychological disorder. It is the area where I expect to heal up the most. And don't be sorry, Lile. We all get our burden to carry and there ain't no such thing as an easy burden.

4:32 am

sprite

and I thank you for the blessing :) God bless you and Soodle too.

4:33 am

Soodle

Well said, Spritey. ((((Hugs))))

4:33 am

Lilecama

Brave sprite. And yes - we do have our burdens. May yours lighten daily.

4:33 am

sprite

(((((hugs right back to ya)))))
See what a great place this is :)

4:34 am

Soodle

I better re-emerge from under the desk..... Laters, Sprite & Lile!!

4:34 am

Lilecama

:)

4:34 am

sprite

*giggles* Wise Soodle! See you later.

4:34 am

Lilecama

Bye soodle. till next moment under the desk...

4:35 am

Lilecama

I have 50 left now. Must also go and get some work done. Take care sprite - have a great day and see you again. Nice to know you're a stable babbler... :)

4:35 am

sprite

I see we have alt spellings to the icon word!

4:36 am

Lilecama

yes - I spotted that one. Add an e for more... :) (waves) bye.

4:37 am

sprite

I found 3x ei and both ik words. Nice :)

4:37 am

Lilecama

and then jumble them up for even more... *drags self AWAY from computer...*

4:42 am

3 x ei (5/18, 7/44 and 6/30), all related to 'icon'.

4:42 am

sprite

good for you, sandra! Am struggling with the last few now.

4:43 am

dfmchfhf

I found 98 without lickety, trying for 100 x.x and I've been staring for the last 30 minutes and found only 1

4:43 am

sprite

and you have both spellings of the spanish lord?

4:45 am

dfmchfhf

wishing I had a credit card and/pr Paypal so I could upgrade Pro, would probably make this so much easier...

4:46 am

sprite

didn't drG make more options for going pro recently? I thought it was possible to pay in other manners now.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Hello, All :-)

4:46 am

sprite

hey zooz :)

4:46 am

zoozzoom

How are you, Spritey!

4:47 am

sprite

well enough, zooz. How are you today?

4:47 am

dfmchfhf

nope, still two options. And hey zooz :o)

4:47 am

zoozzoom

I am well thank you :-)

4:48 am

jhb

Hello Sprite - Brave Sprite and brave spirit.

4:48 am

sprite

perhaps it is part of the planning for the new site then. Maybe you can email drG and ask him what to do.

4:48 am

sprite

hey jhb, thank you ;) Aren't we all!

4:49 am

jhb

Hi sprite - love Babble and babblers. All so caring and friendly.

4:49 am

sprite

yep, good people. Even after all those years I still feel this is an amazing community.

4:50 am

jhb

Are you one of the original babblers sprite?

4:50 am

dfmchfhf

not much has really changed since a year and a half ago :o/

4:50 am

dfmchfhf

I'm one of the original Babblers! :oD although I've had long periods of not-playing :o/

4:51 am

sprite

yes jhb, though not from the very beginning. Early though.

4:51 am

Jayk

Morning all! Wow, dfm. how do you wean yourself away for long periods?

4:51 am

sprite

hi Jayk!

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning everyone. dfnch, how do you manage to stay on if you aren't pro? Thought there was a limited trial period.

4:51 am

sprite

not sure I remember you, dfmchfhf, but welcome back

4:52 am

Jayk

Hey Sprite!

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Jayk & Sally

4:52 am

sprite

Sally, the trial is only for the stats. The game itself can be played indefinitely without pro dom.

4:53 am

dfmchfhf

I don't know, I think it has to do with not having Internet for a month? :o( and then forgetting the URL for this

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

Aah, I see. I remember I did two trial periods by switching to husband's name (though he didn't know it!) because I hadn't quite decided.

4:53 am

sprite

*hugs Sally*
How are you today?

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

I'm not too bad, still trying to shake off a cold which I've had for over a week - and I never get colds!

4:54 am

Jayk

Ah! that would do it then. If you want, I can sign you up and you can send me a check

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

Apologies if I use any words in the grid, but haven't started yet.

4:54 am

dfmchfhf

I need to get a credit card soon anyways, I'm running low on money :o(

4:55 am

sprite

lots of fluids, enough rest and stay warm, Sally. And give it time.

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Same here, Sally, trying to shake off this cold, i am in constant barking mode..lol

4:55 am

sprite

it is a pretty safe grid, Sally. Not that many chat words.

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

What's the current rate for joining? I remember I thought it was very cheap at the time.

4:56 am

dfmchfhf

still USD14.95

4:56 am

sprite

it is cheap. A little more expensive than when I joined, but still about the price of a CD. And it is for life.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

Amazing value for life time membership.

4:56 am

dfmchfhf

yay 102 without lickety! :oD

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, very reasonable for life membership.

4:59 am

sprite

got all the biggies. No unwords so far.

5:00 am

dfmchfhf

random typing = finding unwords ;o)

5:00 am

zoozzoom

Have only just started. So 48 words found only.

5:01 am

sprite

only have 4 Es left now. Vowel words... always seem to be a tad more difficult to find for me.

5:01 am

sprite

nice going, zooz

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

Only found 30 so far:-)

5:04 am

sprite

fireflies. Last 2 E words were new to me.

5:04 am

zoozzoom

WTG Spritey!

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

got on

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Thats a point, sally, no..will check out the archives, see if she was on yesterday.

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

ty

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

She hasn't been on today.

5:20 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody. Just baCK From the first court hearing which went well, I think. I am very pleased with the lawyer. The next date is the 19th for the decision of the judge regarding the criminal charges against the dog owner who, BTW, lied through his teeth!

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

speak of the devil!!

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

Glad to know it went well. Did husband survivle the ordeal OK?

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

Must have been particularly stressful for him.

5:22 am

rubyfoo

he planned his clothes last night and looked wonderful, in a suit (very rare for here) and tie.

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

It was an evening case?

5:22 am

rubyfoo

I had to do all the listening and translation but it was OK for him; I think he is relieved

5:22 am

rubyfoo

no, at 8:30 AM

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! I thought it was yesterday. I see. Glad you have a good lawyer. How did you find her?

5:23 am

rubyfoo

she was recommended by the mayor of the village

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

So really a case of who you know, eh!

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

So nothing has yet been decided about the fate of the dog?

5:24 am

rubyfoo

and the defense lawyer seemed ill-prepared. Ours was cool and prepared.

5:25 am

rubyfoo

no, the next hearing is on the 19th when the criminal charges will be decided and the original settlement made. Then, there will be an independent doctor to determine damages (another hearing) and then, finally, we'll go after the dog.

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Oh..LOL, hello Ruby, was checking yesterdays Chat log.

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like it is going to be a long drawn out process, which is not unusual i suppose.

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

Can they afford the settlement ruby, or will that ben an insurance claim?

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

Not feeling sorry for them, just wondering if you will actually see any money.

5:29 am

rubyfoo

I really want to thank you all for your support through this difficult time! I am sorry to have dominated the grid at times, but |I needed some English-speaking friends.

5:29 am

Sally-catlover

English-speaking? Us? Nicest thing anyone's said to me all day.

5:29 am

rubyfoo

Our village is pretty fancy and they have an old, local name. Also, they are insured. I am not worried about them. They seem most worried about keeping the dog alive

5:30 am

rubyfoo

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Don`t be sorry, i think it is great to talk about it, if thats what you want to do.

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

I am amazed at the power and support of Babble on occasion.

5:31 am

zoozzoom

I can vouch for that, Sally :-)

5:31 am

rubyfoo

5:31 am

Sally-catlover

{{zooz}} made me cry at the time.

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Yes, sorry about that, i am getting help now, so on the mend, will take time, but on the mend none the less.

5:33 am

Eva

I'm coming in on the tail end of this and if it is too much to explain again please feel free to say so, but I'm wondering what happenes?

5:33 am

rubyfoo

and it's wonderful for us to know that Babblers really care!

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

No, don't be sorry. I was just so overcome that people cared so much about a stranger, and that someone should be in such distress. Don't want to bring up old wounds.

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

Someone on Babble was in distress, Eva, and several people got help for that person.

5:34 am

rubyfoo

we are an important virtual community, exchanging woes and triumphs and also information.

5:34 am

Eva

thank you Sally

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

And how is married life?

5:34 am

rubyfoo

and Sally found pond nets for my husband!!

5:34 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:34 am

Eva

what are pond nets?

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

Uh oh, wrong Eva.

5:35 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:35 am

rubyfoo

lol. We had a bad heron problem which Sally solved. My husband is in love!

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

Blush.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Who needs Google when you got Babble community :-)

5:37 am

zoozzoom

*Babble* the best search engine in the world.

5:37 am

Sally-catlover

lol zooz.

5:38 am

Eva

I love the idea of having a heron problem!

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

lol, Eva, you wouldn't if you had fish!

5:38 am

zoozzoom

herons are lovely looking birds.

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

But I do love to see the herons around here.

5:38 am

rubyfoo

my husband loves his goldfish and we saw a magnificent heron make off with one. Sally solved the problem which had his desperate!

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

We have a river in Ludlow with a weir where the salmon leap. The heron sits on the weir with knife and fork!

5:39 am

rubyfoo

actually, eva, that's how I felt. But my husband's distress was a sad thing and he thought the heron had eaten hundreds of his fish

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

Only one goldfish ruby? I thought the heron had had lots.

5:39 am

zoozzoom

My father, used to have koi carp, beautiful fish.

5:40 am

rubyfoo

I also put an antique bronze Japanese heron on the edge of the pond, and that may have helped as well

5:40 am

Eva

Just turned on my light box. It's 6:38 am here, pitch black and has been raining/sleeting for 2 days. The geese have pretty much departed for sunnier climes. It always takes a lot to adjust to the coming of winter...light box, chocolate, music.

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

very expensive fish zooz.

5:40 am

rubyfoo

we don't know how many he got, but they all hid for weeks and we thought they were all gone

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

Light box, Eva? Is that to replace daylight in the winter?

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Yes, they are, he had about 30.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

the goldfish were originally "feeders", tiny ones which had lasted about 11 yrs so far and are now big enough to eat (no, only kidding!)

5:41 am

zoozzoom

never tried a lightbox, would not mind getting one of those, chocolate & music is a very big part of my life..lol

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Me too zooz. Very interested in the idea of a light box.

5:42 am

zoozzoom

imagining Ruby eating goldfish & chips..lol

5:42 am

Eva

Yes. There have been quite a few studies showing that the use of a light box (it is super concentrated full spectrum light) for about half an hour first thing in the morning, helps with seasonal affective disorder, aka the winter blues. It supposedly signals the pineal gland to shut down and stop producing melatonin during the day. The one I have now is the size of a calculator and was only about $50 and seemed to help last year.

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

I should think they taste disgusting!

5:42 am

rubyfoo

when I take my naps I put the light on right over me, it is very comforting

5:43 am

Atalante

carp *can* taste very good if washed out thoroughly

5:43 am

rubyfoo

I would never eat them

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

will google light boxes.

5:43 am

Eva

there are quite a few to choose from. This one gives off blue light.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

hello ata

5:44 am

zoozzoom

it sounds like a very good investment, Eva...one i will most certainly look into.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

have to go see to husband. See you later {{big hugs}}

5:44 am

Atalante

and hi :)

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ata...i take it you have tried then?

5:44 am

5:45 am

Eva

when I was younger winter didn't affect me this way, but over the years it has gotten worse. I love the cold, but the lack of sunlight is a problem.

5:45 am

Atalante

yep! they are nice as long as you can de-muddify them

5:45 am

zoozzoom

*Looking*

5:46 am

Atalante

light boxes / replacement daylight lamps are great for winter

5:47 am

Eva

I think the one I got was the Zadro sunlight 365, but I'm sure there are many other ones too.

5:48 am

Eva

I just put it on when I wake up and leave it on for about 30 minute while I read or babble

5:48 am

zoozzoom

thats the problem with living where winter time daylight is sparse, when i am back at home, i will order one.

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

We looked into the replacement light bulbs once, Ata, but didn't do anything about it.

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

Zadro sunlight - two left in stock on Amazon, zooz!

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

Where are you at the moment then zooz?

5:49 am

zoozzoom

in a bistro, satying in hospital, getting myself sorted out.

5:50 am

zoozzoom

staying*

5:50 am

zoozzoom

i goto the bistro, for babbling, as can`t use internet in hospital.

5:50 am

Sally-catlover

OK, understood. satying!! Like it, wasn't sure if it was a kind of dance or something you were eating.

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

Are you still on Isle of Wight? Don't need to know any more than that :-)

5:53 am

zoozzoom

it is complicated, am on some days as need to visit other places, and also not on others.

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

OK {{hugs}} zooz.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

it is nice when i am on the isle of wight, as i can pop back to mine & babble at night :-)

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

I think Amazon are so efficient. Have been having trouble setting up a wireless network upstairs using HomePlugs. It turns out one plug was fault. Contacted Amazon yesterday on line using their returns policy. Replacement has just arrived, sent first class at no extra charge, before I have even sent the old one back.

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Have old unit all packaged up and will send it today, and they will refund postage.

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Am very impressed :-)

5:56 am

zoozzoom

That is very good company policy, that way customers will always return.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

I buy most items with amazon, they are just as cheap as most plaes too.

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, only once had to send something back before and in that case they sent me a return label. This time I could print the label on line. If I don't return the old one within 30 days they will charge me for it. A very good policy I think.

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Yes zooz, cheap and efficient.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

did you order the Zadro sunlight, Sally?

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

Not yet, give me a chance zooz! Still have 34 words to find.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:04 am

Sally-catlover

My other reason for using Amazon is that we oare out in the country here, about 5 miles from Ludlow, and Ludlow is lovely but not like shopping in a major town, so limited choice sometimes. Shopping and banking online is a must for me.

i am not sure there is more "weather" there are however more ways to get word out about weather and more round the clock news agencies who need to fill their time with news all the time..back in the 70's...abc, nbc and cbs had to pick the top 5 news stories of the day that would interest their viewers

I am doing OK Mom - at work sneaking babble...

7:33 am

Mom

how long now since you haven't smoked?

7:33 am

carleekat

tarps are good for under tents to keep a tent from flooding..and in the event is a bad tent....can storm lash a tent with a tarp and stay dry

7:33 am

Norma

Even sturdy tents won't keep the damp and misery out, there should be more construction by now.

Hint: It's a toffee bar

7:58 am

Mom

hmmm heath isn't in the grid

7:58 am

MollyL

Don't have pets Pyth, sorry.

7:59 am

pythonx

It's actually CCL in dogs and ACL in humans. Ligament in back leg

7:59 am

Mom

sorry Pythonx, I can't help. No dogs here

7:59 am

MollyL

It's a Skor bar Mom. They might not be very popular in all parts of the country.

7:59 am

Mom

7:59 am

MollyL

What does the vet say Pyth?

7:59 am

pythonx

ok, vet wants to do surgery $1000+

8:00 am

Mom

never se** that candy bar before

8:00 am

MollyL

It was Hershey's attempt to compete with Heath.

8:00 am

Mom

ah, ok

8:00 am

pythonx

We have done research and lots of people on web say surgery isn't necessary.

8:00 am

Mom

wow Pythonx

8:00 am

MollyL

Ouch Pyth, that's expensive. No alternative treatment?

8:01 am

MollyL

Oops, there is my answer.

8:01 am

MollyL

How about a second opinion?

8:01 am

8:03 am

carleekat

8:04 am

carleekat

all i can say is..i had a kitten with cancer ( 2 year old) and we chose to take the leg ( $1000.00 ) and we had 3 more fun filled years with her

8:18 am

nono...cus the cat was young...i would.....she was a lively happy playful personality plus cat...and older cat..no...i wouldnt do it again

8:19 am

Gail

My last border collie had cushings and she did very well as long as I didn't let her get overtired or dehydrated in the summer or when we traveled. She has breast cancer, too, but lived to be 15 years old.

8:19 am

Mom

Hi Gail

8:20 am

Gail

Hi. I am off to a book sale at the library in a few minutes!

8:20 am

Atalante

you want to talk to lizsark, python, she's an expert on dogs with cruciate problems!

8:20 am

SeaSpray

He seems to be doing a little better Gail, has been on meds for 3 weeks and I can tell a difference already..I realize he is an old pup but want to keep him as healthy as possible

8:20 am

NonoNanette

carlee, the pain that the cat went thru with the surgery and for the remaining time he had with us, i would never consider again regardless of the age

8:20 am

Judi

Good morning, All. Python - our neighbor's golden retreiver had that same injury. Surgery was her only option as there was no way to keep her dog from wanting to run. Otherwise, it pretty much will only heal with total immobillization. Darn near impossible for a dog.

8:20 am

Mom

we have one next week at our library, have a good time

8:21 am

Mom

Hi Judi

8:21 am

Gail

The good thing is that the animals don't know they are sick, so they don't let it hold them back. My cocker always hid her heart pills under my pillow.

8:21 am

SeaSpray

lol

8:22 am

Mom

:)3

8:23 am

carleekat

when the animal actually takes to hiding in dark places..you KNOw the animal is sick...its what they do when they go to die

8:23 am

Judi

Funny, Gail. How long did it take you to find the pills?

8:23 am

NonoNanette

true, they definitely do know when they are not feeling well

8:24 am

Gail

I would find them when I changed my bed on the weekends. She put her baby aspirin under the door jamb in the kitchen, bless her nasty little heart.

8:25 am

Gail

Gotta go sharpen up my elbows and head to the book sale now.

Sorry, I stepped out for a moment.

8:32 am

Judi, The vet says he will have to be immobilized after the surgery anyways or he'll ruin everything. So if we have to immobilize him anyway, I'm thinking we may as well just brace it and let it heal.

8:32 am

carleekat

python..i also had a cat who broke both of her hips at the same time...we had to crate her for 2 months whilst she healed and we had to hold her over kitty litter

8:32 am

carleekat

( again young..both these cats were from humane society )

8:33 am

carleekat

she moved by rolling on her back for 2 months...she got better

8:34 am

Judi

Best of luck, Pythonx. Just wondering what the brace looks like. I would think they would have to immobilize her whole rear end.

8:34 am

pythonx

We've been carry a 40 pound dog up and down the stairs! oy my back!!

8:34 am

KatieMcG

afternoon everyone

8:34 am

Judi, I goes over the leg and then a harness attaches it to the collar to hold it in place.

8:35 am

NonoNanette

hi Katie

8:35 am

carleekat

up side to cats 10 pounds average weight

8:35 am

pythonx

the website has tons of testimonials from customers that say it worked for their dogs

8:36 am

Judi

Well, that's encouraging.

8:36 am

NonoNanette

have you shown this info to your vet python? I think I would try it

8:37 am

pythonx

i was thinking of that, but don't know how he will react..

8:37 am

Judi

lol. The vet or the dog, Pythonx?

8:37 am

pk

python i think ask the vet

8:37 am

pk

they've heard it all!

8:37 am

pythonx

haha, the vet. although he's a pretty reasonable guy

8:38 am

NonoNanette

naturally he will still advise for the surgery but it won't hurt to ask his opinion about the brace

8:39 am

pythonx

ok, thanks for the input. gotta run. if anyone else comes in today whose gone through this, especially if they used the brace, please tell them to email me. my addy is in my profile. Thanks. have a great day

Oh, geewhiz, thanks, y'all.

9:40 pm

mcurlschool

yeah! son-in-law was due to reinlist in june when AF diecovered he had asthma. They finally let him process and then told him it would have to go before a review board for final decision...they said it would probably take no less than 6 months.....they had requested early retirement with partial benefits.....received word monday that request was denied and he was (is) being discharged in 10 days (next week) with NO benefits AND NO retirement.

9:40 pm

m9f9l

oh! that! sucks!!!!

9:41 pm

mcurlschool

it only took 3 days to get the decision back....how's that for military timing!

9:41 pm

Pinikula

OMG...so sorry to hear, mcurl...has he spoken with commanding officer and/or other channels to appeal their decision?

9:41 pm

m9f9l

that's not right!

9:41 pm

Pinikula

that's a first, mcurl!

9:41 pm

m9f9l

for asthma?!?!?

9:41 pm

Pinikula

it's very possible, m9...took my brother 12 years in the reserves before he was cleared for active duty simply due to asthma...

9:42 pm

mcurlschool

He has written his congressmen/senators (from Massachusettes) as well as here. He has written to the officer that runs his area and is just doing everything he can.

9:42 pm

mcurlschool

Yes, asthma.....can't have that and be in the military.

9:42 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! te5/10 was my last word

9:42 pm

gapeach

So sorry to hear that mcurlschool.

9:43 pm

Pinikula

I would encourage him to continue to pursue it, mcurl (btw: how long has he been in?)

9:43 pm

Pinikula

wtg min!

9:43 pm

mcurlschool

in the meantime....once he's "separated" from the military he can request an appeal but that will be handled by a civilian review board ad could take up to a year.

9:43 pm

gapeach

Congrats min!!!!!!

9:43 pm

Minveryork

I'll be here off and on to help out with clues if needed.

9:43 pm

mcurlschool

if he wins that repeal; the AF would have to reinstate him with everything just as it was until he retires....he has over 15 years in.

9:44 pm

m9f9l

over 15 years...and to just get nothing?!?

9:44 pm

Pinikula

I would think he has a very strong case to overturn their decision with a 15-year record!

9:45 pm

mcurlschool

yeah, can you believe that! Makes you want to NOT make it a career!

that is, unfortunately, the way the military works... my advice from experience is that he should NOT sign any paperwork unless he has a lawyer look over the paperwork first

9:53 pm

Ormal

mccurl, I just saw some of your info about your s-i-l. have him check with V.A. also, because if asthma wasn't from prior to service, it could possibly be construed as service related?

9:53 pm

mcurlschool

on would think, but they even denied medical disability post separationb

9:54 pm

stidmama

good thought ormal

9:55 pm

stidmama

I would check that out anyway... also contact his member of congress. The military has a "habit" of treating its members shabbily when they are trying to downsize or when there are health issues.

9:55 pm

mcurlschool

He's a pretty smart guy and from the sounds of it he's been on the computer and phone for several days trying to find a resolution and an interim solution. I'm bracing for roommates for awhile without his income! That would be just fine with me

9:55 pm

Minski

the VA did or the AF did? it can happen that the ratings work differently in the different agencies. I wish you all the best of luck, because that is a messed up situation.

9:56 pm

Pinikula

posted, stid

9:56 pm

mcurlschool

And downsizing they are.....it's called Force-shaping. where they go after the people close to retirement and find something they can use to force them out and not have to pay retirmement and all it's perks. Sucks.

9:56 pm

stidmama

is he a registered voter here in Washington? I know that one of our senators has been very helpful to vets and servicemembers.

When I called for the monkeys, they were playing by the sea sh 5/12. My monkeys helped me for a sh 5/12 time.Then my monkeys began to act up so I had to sh 7/32 their time with me. I told my monkeys to take a hi 4/9 today after they stood in 5/10 and refused to help me with grid. My monkeys stood there all te5/10 and not moving.They ran off to play with the ho 5/12 in the field. They ran off in a sn 4/4, but I knew they were glad to leave. Monkeys are a th 5/12 in my side sometimes. Think I should send them back up no 5/12 where they came from and hi 4/5 new on 4/4. Then I will in 6/18 some new rules for the monkeys to follow. After they left, I was a ho5/12 and ho 4/5d in on the grid and got my fireworks. I hope you've se 4/4 some more words with my story. Now I am going to look on ko 5/20 website and see if they have any good online deals for sh 5/12. then I am going to retire for the ni 4/4. Bye to all.I will see you tomorrow with a te 7/28 grid size hopefully.
