1:09 am

MPittore

Yes, she developed preclampsia that rapidly turned into something called HELP syndrome and we almost lost her and the baby

1:10 am

MPittore

Her BP skyrocketed and they believe that it caused so much stress on the baby that he is now anxious...

1:10 am

MPittore

She is fine now thank goodness...so we can deal with Dylan's (my grandson) anxiety through play therapy...such a relief to us all...the best christmas present I could have hoped for!

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

I follow the Quentin Crisp school of housework :-)

4:42 am

FMitch

lol do expand on that.

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

Just checking the exact quote: There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.

4:45 am

FMitch

Excellent.

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

He was a very funny and witty writer but apparently lived in squalor.

4:48 am

Chessy

John Hurt

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

Heehee, just checking some of his quotes because I can't be ** to go and find the book. I like this one: "If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style."

4:49 am

FMitch

Thank you Chessy!

4:49 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, John Hurt, of course.

4:53 am

FMitch

I need to go out today - don't want to :(

4:54 am

Chessy

Me neither, but those xmas gifts aren't going to buy themselves ...

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

I have to go out this afternoon. But is it that you are just comfortable and snug, FM, or is it somewhere you really don't want to go?

4:55 am

FMitch

Im snug and warm and it looks horrid out there.

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

Just dull and grey here, but bad weather forecast to come back later this week.

4:56 am

FMitch

I'm doing my xmas shopping on line Chessy.

4:57 am

FMitch

and I am still hoping the cards will write themselves and magically get posted.

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

lol, and in my case print themselves as well.

4:58 am

Chessy

Oh well, deep breath, and off I dive into the shops. I may be some time ...

4:59 am

FMitch

All this talk is making me think I had better get my act together.

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

bye for now them FM.

5:00 am

FMitch

Bye Chessy and Sally.

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

Just over half way - slow grid today - so will go and do some printing and feel virtuous and come back later. Bye to any lurkers.

Riverdance

7:12 am

Riverdance

we had a dusting yesterday morning then turned to heavy rain

7:12 am

zoozzoom

yes i saw it on the news, not nice at all.

7:12 am

MollyL

I don't get how the Metrodome in Minnesota collapsed. They get snow like that all the time. Why wasn't that thing built to withstand it?

7:12 am

Nef

Good Morning All. It's minus 7 (F) here with a wind chill of 25 below right now. I don't leave for work for another 45 minutes; do you suppose it might warm up before I leave? ;-)

7:12 am

Riverdance

7:13 am

zoozzoom

LOL..love your sense of humor, NEF ;-)

Riverdance

morning Nef - yikes - dress warm

7:14 am

MollyL

*Passing the long johns, warm out of the dryer to Nef*

7:14 am

Molly, the dome collapse because the blizzard made it too hazardous for the cleaners to be on the roof of it. We haven't got 24 inches of snow at once for over 20 years

7:14 am

zoozzoom

Riverdance that word i said i keep trying..if you but another letter third from the end it becomes a word.

7:14 am

MollyL

Now see, I thought that kind of snow was routine for y'all. I've learned my something new today.

7:16 am

MollyL

Thank you Zoom. And Molly utters yet another "What the hell does that mean?"

7:16 am

zoozzoom

we had 4 inches of snow a couple of weeks ago and the isle of wight ground to a halt..lol

7:16 am

Nef

Molly, I moves SOUTH for the warmed weather. NW and northern MN get stuff like this all the time. The Twin Cities don't get this stuff as much (we are 320 miles south of where I grew up in NW MN

crossy -- last year (well, technically, earlier this year!) we wandered out in the thigh-high snow to explore our new community + discovered that, while everything else was closed (even the grocery store that day!), the beer store was open.
and not only was it open, but they sold mine + dear husbands favorites!
framboise for me, and maudite for him.
we had to climb our way back through the snow with beer in hand to get home, but all the neighbors just decided that we were hardcore. ;)

12:26 pm

Oops, I hit the cap key.

Sally-catlover

Don't know that one Scrabs. BBC have some really good series though.

The cat, Seain?

12:27 pm

dcseain

the niece

12:27 pm

dcseain

she's 7 mos

12:27 pm

Sally-catlover

Very often cheaper on Amazon than direct from BBC Scrabs.

12:28 pm

Scrabbler

Did you feed her? Babies are messy.

12:28 pm

Scrabbler

Or Netflix, Sally.

12:28 pm

dcseain

i fed her some, and she fed herself banana and pear

12:28 pm

dcseain

then we changed her clothes

12:29 pm

Sally-catlover

Think that's probably US only Scrabs (just had quick look).

12:29 pm

Scrabbler

Babies + toddlers enjoy feeding themselves.

12:29 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Seain.

12:29 pm

Sally-catlover

Are you in charge dc?

12:29 pm

dcseain

yep :) she handles the spoon well

12:30 pm

dcseain

sally, i'm here and her mom is. I fed her while mom finished stuff, then shortly we'll go run errands

12:30 pm

Sally-catlover

Lovely, dc, all the fun and none of the responsibility!

12:31 pm

Hi JM

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

glad to see the NB is solved. hope he feels better soon

12:41 pm

MollyL

Sailed on a river of crystal light, into a sea of dew. I love that poem.

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

i was always more partial to the owl and the pussy cat

12:42 pm

MollyL

I'm glad we found out what's going on with NB too. I like to pray specifically. Healing thoughts out to NB.

12:42 pm

Sally-catlover

Same here jmc.

12:43 pm

jmcnrick

seems silly that it was a secret but maybe it was less a secret than we just didn't know the answer

12:44 pm

dcseain

What i shared earlier was shared before in here, and i felt yall had the right to know.

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

so DC I later decided i was too vague. I was inviting you to our open house on Weds from 2 to 5.

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

Molly has already snubbed me.

12:47 pm

Sally-catlover

I'm so glad you shared dc, it isn't pruirient interest but concern. I for one was imaging such awful things. What has happened is obviously pretty serious for him, but not as bad as some of the things I for one had imagined!

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

:-P

12:47 pm

Kazzer99

how is NB

12:47 pm

MollyL

: P : P : P

12:48 pm

Sally-catlover

Sorry about typos but multi-tasking here.

12:48 pm

MollyL

Seain, not sure where it was shared in here. We all seemed to be in the dark about NB until you told us what was going on. Unless I missed something. Which is entirely possible. Thanks for letting us know. I appreciate it.

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

i confessed i feared assault so i know what you mean sally

12:49 pm

Sally-catlover

OK, I feared death, accident, assault or prison!

12:49 pm

dcseain

oh, thank you, JMC, still at St Margaret's?

12:49 pm

MollyL

If you read the chog posts between JC and M9, you totally would have thought it was something like accident, assault or worse.

12:50 pm

Sally-catlover

I am really really sorry that his trip has ended up like this. It was not good anyway, from the little he said, so this is just really bad for him.

Well we were all in the dark dc, because of different times we all come in and out.

12:51 pm

Sally-catlover

I for one am grateful to you. I was worried for him because he seems so young and vulnerable and I can imagine how I would feel if he were /my/ son.

12:52 pm

Sally-catlover

Or (cough) grandson!

12:53 pm

dcseain

happily, he has a good support network, and good medical care.

12:54 pm

Scrabs, have you seen the movie "Babies"

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, but I must. My friends have told me great things. However, in my career I have seen babies from multiple cultures--Southeast Asia, Africa, India, Pakistan and have learned about differences in raising kids--feeding, discipline, etc

1:33 pm

bichon

The really great thing about the movie was that even thought the babies were raised under different circumstances, they all developed in the same way.

1:35 pm

Scrabbler

Yep--the nervous system myelinates and skills emerge.

1:35 pm

Scrabbler

I have taken care of blind babies, deaf babies...interesting too.

1:37 pm

And I have cared for babies born to deaf parents.

I have just returned. Hello everyone. Champ I had a good race, not a PR, but...

4:44 pm

ChampFit

Sorry about the PR, but congrats on a good race!!!

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

My PR was 12.01 m/m and this race was a 12.05 M/M with 2 years and all the injuries inbetween.

4:44 pm

ChampFit

Well I say TAKE IT and dance a little jig! ;)

4:44 pm

ChampFit

How do you feel?

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

I was actually one minute ahead of my desired pace and we got a 30 MPH gust headwind for the last two miles, I just could not fight that well enough.

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

I feel SORE. Trying to see how I will run tomorrow.

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

They had all sorts of first time race logistical issues, delayed start...for 30 min..

4:45 pm

ChampFit

My people did a 30K yesterday, and it was in the 40's, winds gusting into the 20 mph zone. They were either with it or against it. I FROZE!

4:46 pm

redturtlehead

The wind is a real challenge, I discovered!!!

4:46 pm

redturtlehead

How is your foot.

4:47 pm

ChampFit

BTW...there were 5 "seeing impaired" people running. They're tethered to another runner. One guy ran 30K in less than two hours, and he was partially blind!

4:47 pm

ChampFit

My foot is fine. I'm ready as I'll be. Won't be a PR year.

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

that is so cool. We have had a few of those runners at one of the races. SO much rust, I would be afraid of tripping.

4:48 pm

ChampFit

NO JOKE. Can't even imagine.

4:49 pm

ChampFit

OK...don't want to hog the chat. Glad it went well!

The first marathon I ever ran, I gained weight during training. Would run long runs, and come home and eat bad things. You can out-eat any workout, trust me!

4:59 pm

11:38 pm

kimmtoats

that's a pretty long drive.

11:39 pm

Pinikula

yeah, definitely not a day trip :)

11:40 pm

no. not really.

dfm, help kimm hold down the fort while I take a 'puppy paws' (brb)

You're taking the paws off your dog? :oO

rururocks

hands Pini some TP

11:46 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- is wavering between staying for the flip, or treating himself for possible food poisoning (which would involve forced regurgitation, not fun...)

11:47 pm

rururocks

ugh

11:47 pm

rururocks

what did you eat df?

11:47 pm

dfmchfhf

hmm, I like "vacillating" more. I'm going to vacillate instead of waver.

11:48 pm

dfmchfhf

well, I'm eating chicken right now, and apparently steaming it for 35 minutes still allows blood to explode out of it when I take a bite... and about 75% of the chicken is already in my stomach... don't know what to do...

11:48 pm

kimmtoats

Hi dfm, & ruru! How are you tonight?

11:49 pm

rururocks

Hmm.. I'd cook it longer than 35 minutes

11:49 pm

dfmchfhf

(and I've cut the chicken into portions small enough to take ~30 minutes to cook thoroughly.)

11:49 pm

rururocks

fine kim.. you?

11:50 pm

kimmtoats

no. it's done. you don't want it to dry out!

11:50 pm

rururocks

I always cook chicken 40-45 minutes

11:50 pm

rururocks

never steamed it though.

11:50 pm

rururocks

that sounds kinda bland

11:50 pm

kimmtoats

I am fine. Tired. I went shopping with my 21 yr old daughter who was in a foul mood.

11:51 pm

rururocks

oh.. that's the xmas spirit..lol

11:52 pm

dfmchfhf

30 is usually enough for steaming... especially if it's cut into small-sized chunks... :o(

11:52 pm

kimmtoats

I can't stand it when she gets like that. She truly thinks the world should revolve around her.

11:53 pm

kimmtoats

I don't remember behaving that way when I was her age.

11:53 pm

dfmchfhf

it's the latest generation thing... I think some people are calling it the "me" generation?

11:54 pm

kimmtoats

yes! what happened? is it a parenting thing, or what?

11:55 pm

rururocks

could be a self absorbed kid?

11:55 pm

dfmchfhf

It's all about what "I" want... better work hours, better representation, more freedom, &c. &c. ... I can't stand it (and I'm *part* of that generation!)

11:56 pm

Christine

dfmchfhf --even if there's some blood, that alone won't cause food poisoning. Some people eat all meats raw. Perhaps it's the look of it that's upsetting your stomach?

11:56 pm

dfmchfhf

It's society...

11:56 pm

rururocks

I was part of the free love generation.. we were muchhappier

11:56 pm

Christine

Ah, the sixties

I'm just really paranoid toward food poisoning -- most of the maladies I've had have been related to my digestive system.
