dart001

1:17 am

flosey

hi jilli

1:18 am

jillibus

Afraid I won't be spending all day doing puzzles of any kind!

1:20 am

I thought it was really puzzling, flosey ;-)

1:21 am

flosey

I listed much earlier than that dart and still have 59 to go

1:23 am

flosey

for sure, I'd never figure that one jilli

1:24 am

jillibus

me neither

1:24 am

jillibus

but I thought it looked interesting

1:25 am

flosey

yes, for sure, but the picture I see, before clicking on your icon, is quite different

1:25 am

flosey

oh, prob. yesterday's clue icon?

1:26 am

jillibus

yesterday's clue icon was a big lizard on red earth (Australian)

1:26 am

flosey

ah, see it now

1:30 am

flosey

Jilli, did you son come alone?

1:32 am

jillibus

yes, flosey -- he drove so that he could bring the Xmas presents I had to leave behind, and guess what.

1:33 am

flosey

he forgot them?

1:33 am

jillibus

Yep! Remembered when he got to Nanaimo, lol!

1:33 am

flosey

well, an excuse to come again

1:34 am

jillibus

Sooon, I hope.

1:34 am

flosey

there's something nice about having him all to yourself once in a while, isn't it

1:35 am

jillibus

Very much so.

1:35 am

flosey

I love both of my dils dearly, but still love to get them to myself occasionally

1:35 am

jillibus

We can share memories without leaving someone else out.

1:35 am

flosey

I enjoy time alone with each of the dils as well

1:36 am

flosey

yes, absolutely

1:36 am

jillibus

I don't get a chacer for that.

1:36 am

jillibus

4:10 am

mummy

4:11 am

rubyfoo

hello mummy

4:11 am

mummy

hi ruby, how's your saturday going?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

husband is still sick, otherwise it is a beautiful day.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I didn't realize how much time {"his" chores take!

4:13 am

mummy

every day that we wake up is a good day!

4:23 am

Jivingjenny0

4:23 am

4:24 am

MollyL

Morning all. ep 4, ep 5, ep 6

4:25 am

rubyfoo

4:25 am

MollyL

Ruby, sorry to hear that your husband is still not feeling well. Did the nurse come?

4:26 am

rubyfoo

no, she never showed up. I just spoke to his MD who doesn't think it's "the end" and won't be here 'til Monday. I am going a little bit crazy!

4:27 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks \molly

4:27 am

MollyL

I'm sorry to hear that. Did the nurse at least call? You must feel very alone with all this. ((((Ruby)))

4:27 am

rubyfoo

she didn't even call, very disappointing! Thank you for the e's, BTW, this is a wonderful escape

4:28 am

MollyL

Well Ruby, I will put your husband in the care of the Angels until you get a word with the doctor.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

TY, Molly

4:29 am

MollyL

And they are to look after you too Ruby. It's very hard to be the "caretaker".

4:30 am

rubyfoo

it is surprising how much he actually did around here. It is very hard doing "his" chores plus mine!

4:30 am

MollyL

Try to take it in do-able doses Ruby. No sense wearing yourself out. Some chores can just be "left" for a while.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

neighbors offer to help, but you can't exactly ask them to carry in wood or take out (and up to the street) the trash!

4:32 am

MollyL

Yes you can. That's why they are offering to help. Don't take it all on yourself or you will be overwhelmed.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

must go and check on the patient and let the dogs back in. See you soon

4:36 am

7:29 am

ChampFit

7:29 am

rubyfoo

7:29 am

MollyL

Oh goodness Ruby. Can't you keep him on the same floor as you?

7:29 am

rubyfoo

I will take that as a good sign, if he does

7:30 am

rubyfoo

Our house is on a hillside, hence the 3 levels. He is in our BR at the top and I'm in my studio on the bottom. I would have to stay in bed to be near him

7:30 am

lilliann

my parents doctor is great in france.when i first got menieres disease my old gp kept telling me there was nothing wrong and take a holiday but when i went to france and saw my parents gp he said it was in my head so i moaned at my mam saying he was the same as my gp and she said he was saying there was something wrong in my head and i should see a consultant

7:30 am

lilliann

he was right, bless him

7:31 am

rubyfoo

lillianna: do you have noise in your head or vertigo without noise? Is there any treatment? My grandmother had that, but many many years ago

7:31 am

lilliann

he couldn't understand that i couldn't go to my gp and tell him i wanted to see a consultant as it doesn't work like that here

7:32 am

hi fellow babblers!

10:35 am

rubyfoo

husband update: he's on his way to the hospital, having fallen in his bathroom. I couldn't pick him up and he was bleeding all over the place, so I called emergency.

10:35 am

rubyfoo

the doctor thought he has a lung infection and he's much better off there.

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my, ruby! are you on the way there with him?

10:36 am

Riverdance

oh Ruby - sorry to hear that - its the best place for him

10:36 am

rubyfoo

No, they took him in the ambulance and it's almost dark and I don't drive at night.

10:36 am

rubyfoo

I'll call in an hour but they are definitely keeping him.

10:37 am

rubyfoo

he is much better off

10:37 am

trentsnana

sorry to hear that, ruby, but he's in the right place

10:37 am

MollyL

Oh Ruby! I'm sorry he fell and hurt himself. But perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. I think he needs hospital care.

10:37 am

Riverdance

we all agree to that

10:37 am

rubyfoo

I really can't take care of him. After he fell, I couldn't even get him into a sitting position.

10:38 am

rubyfoo

my son, who I just called, thinks it's terrible that I didn't go to the hospital with him

10:38 am

MollyL

Do you have any kind of respite care there Ruby?

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

that is really hard, ruby

10:38 am

Riverdance

you have your own health to worry about ruby

10:38 am

rubyfoo

what do you mean by respite care, molly?

10:39 am

MollyL

Something that's in between hospital and home.

10:39 am

Aloyisius

hi Babblers, just logged on to read about your update, Ruby.. what a frightening experience; I'm glad he is now in hospital.. hope you are ok

10:39 am

rubyfoo

we can have a visiting nurse if needed which is what we did after the dog attack

10:39 am

rubyfoo

ty aloy

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

you can place a loved one there for a week or two

10:39 am

rubyfoo

this room is very helpful

10:39 am

MollyL

Ah, I see. That would be helpful. Where is your son?

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

to give you a break

10:40 am

cybernan

Hi Ruby -- sorry to hear hubby is unwell, but gather it gave you some peace of mind to have him in hospital

10:40 am

rubyfoo

he really didn't want to have emergency come

10:40 am

rubyfoo

son is in TX

10:40 am

rubyfoo

I'll go there in the morning, but I don't see any point in hanging around while they do blood work and x-rays

10:40 am

Anniebrook

ruby, so sorry to hear that you are going through such a hard time..you had no choice but to call emergency

10:40 am

Kazzer99

Ruby, my dear - whats up with hubby?

10:41 am

rubyfoo

do you think that I'm wrong?

10:41 am

Riverdance

he absolutely needed the hospital so DO NOT feel guilty about tht

10:41 am

Riverdance

*that

10:41 am

Anniebrook

No, you are NOT wrong

10:41 am

rubyfoo

but son thinks it's terrible that I didn't go along

10:41 am

Aloyisius

you did exactly the right thing, ruby

10:42 am

cybernan

don't believe that pe 6!

10:42 am

rubyfoo

thank you all for your support, it feels better to "talk" about it

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

pe 6?

10:42 am

Aloyisius

son wasn't there, and shouldn't judge

10:42 am

Boobear

hi all

10:43 am

Anniebrook

You can go in the morning. He needs hospital care.

10:43 am

Aloyisius

and ty for the pe6, nan

10:43 am

Aloyisius

hi boo

10:44 am

Kazzer99

Ruby its for the best that you are in a safe place and can get to him in the morning. I hope that all goes wel

10:44 am

rubyfoo

I don't drive at night

10:44 am

Aloyisius

.. and you also need some sleep to recharge your batteries

10:44 am

rubyfoo

ty kaz, son is very priggish

10:45 am

Kazzer99

which pe 6

10:45 am

mixi6

staying all night in a visitors chairs is not a good solution. DO NOT feel bad about it.

10:45 am

rubyfoo

and his father's wife practically sleeps on his hospital bed when he is sick!

10:45 am

rubyfoo

and of course there are the dogs.....

10:46 am

cybernan

pe 6/33

10:46 am

Kazzer99

as Aloy said you need some sleep to feel strong for him in the morning - when i was in hubby only caome for 30 mins a day - which is enough - hoepfully in hospital they will sort out his chest infection and sort him out for you

10:46 am

Anniebrook

ruby, do not feel guilty...morning will come soon enough and you will be at the hospital

10:46 am

rubyfoo

but I have to say, "Bravo" to the firemen and emergency people here, they are wonderful.

surely you can phone the hospital at any time to check on his condition?

hi Nef

Hi Nef

10:54 am

Riverdance

Hi Hurshy

10:54 am

hurshy

between the first floor and the second floor. presumably a pipe, although it would be great if somehow it turned out to be snow getting in from outside.

10:55 am

Aloyisius

is the ceiling damp or dripping?

10:56 am

hurshy

it has dripped a bit, and the carpet on the floor above is damp in places.

10:56 am

cybernan

ai 6: lighter than ai 3

10:57 am

Aloyisius

when we had snow back up under the eaves, our ceiling was wet along the edge next to the window

10:57 am

Nef

Hi Aloy, Boo, River, hurshy and all. It looks like I missed Ruby; I wanted to reassure her that it's OKAY that she didn't go to the hospital with her hubby; especially if she doesn't drive at night!

10:57 am

Kazzer99

could i have a clue for the pe 6

10:57 am

hurshy

yeah see this isn't right by an exterior wall so it is more likely a pipe, which is too bad cause if it were an exterior problem the condo association would pay for the repairs.

10:58 am

Riverdance

we all tried to do that - she is frail herself and needs to take care of herself to help him

10:58 am

Boobear

hi Hurshy and Kazzar

10:58 am

Nef

hurshy, if the carpet upstairs is wet; it wouldn't be between the floors, would it?

10:58 am

sorry to hear, hursh. pray for a long gradual thaw, all, or we are doomed.

10:58 am

Riverdance

I need lunch - bbl - have a great day everyone

10:59 am

hurshy

it has to be between the floors if it's that carpet and dripping in the room below. it's coming up into the carpet on the upstairs, not dripping onto it.

10:59 am

Aloyisius

ttfn River..

10:59 am

hurshy, how old is your condo? (I hate plumbing problems)

11:02 am

frogface

hiya nef xxx

11:04 am

hurshy

it is about 25 years old - not quite.

11:04 am

Aloyisius

you may be covered after all - check with condo association

11:05 am

hurshy

no, we aren't covered for internal things. everything inside the walls is our responsibility.

11:05 am

hurshy

but it is a very minor drip and just started last night, so my hope is that if we get it fixed right away it won't cost too much and there won't have been much damage to fix.

11:06 am

Aloyisius

well, the pipes are technically outside the inner wall and under the floor

11:06 am

hurshy

yeah, everything inside the OUTER wall is our responsibility. :)

11:07 am

Aloyisius

unless you mean everything within the external walls.. I see that

11:07 am

Nef

Unfortuneately, we learned that this past summer with DH's Aunts' condo. Although the association did pay for PART of the water damage because it started with a common drain (for laundry discharge for 3 units) being plugged and backing up into her unit.

11:07 am

Aloyisius

ra4 !

11:07 am

MollyL

Hursh, check with your condo association. I had a flood in my laundry room due to a burst pipe and they paid for the clean up.

11:08 am

Aloyisius

we had a flooded bathroom and the maintenance men from the office took care of it bc it was caused by a plugged external vent

11:09 am

hurshy

well we're getting a plumber to come and see what's what, so, if it turns out anything external, we will definitely not hesitate to get the association to pay for it.

11:09 am

Aloyisius

crossing fingers for hurshy

11:12 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

11:12 am

Aloyisius

yay for cybernan!!!

11:12 am

hurshy

ok, he just called and he is coming in about an hour - to diagnose - i HOPE he will also be able to FIX as i cannot shower and not sure if it's ok to do laundry either until this is fixed.

11:13 am

Aloyisius

75 dollars for a visit?

11:13 am

hurshy

i am SO GLAD we at least have an extra half bath on the first floor. i washed my hair and had a sort of sponge bath in there this morning. it has made me vow that i will always continue to buy homes with more than just one bathroom.

11:14 am

hurshy

what's 75 dollars for a visit?

11:14 am

Aloyisius

local plumber charges that

11:15 am

hurshy

actually my husband forgot to ask. but we used an online thing that reviews service people and this guy got really good reviews and people said he is reasonably priced also.

11:15 am

Aloyisius

sounds good

11:16 am

hurshy

i didn't expect this to freak me out quite so much. and i'm sorry i've been using the ba4 so rampantly.

11:17 am

Aloyisius

lol, you are certainly forgiven

11:18 am

11:18 am

Ho, aloy!

11:18 am

hurshy

thanks pam, appreciate the sympathy. nice to see you too, it's been awhile, hasn't it?

11:18 am

pam

*Hi

11:19 am

pam

Has been a long while! I have emerged from lurking more often, but have not seen you!

11:20 am

Nef

Hi Pam (I'd wandered off to get some coffee)

11:20 am

hurshy

well i had a pretty crazy december with my dad

11:20 am

Nef

YAY, cyber!!! WTG!!!

11:21 am

pam

Hi, Nef!

11:21 am

pam

Did something happen, Hursh? I don't read the chog when I lurk...

11:22 am

hurshy

he had an aortic dissection on dec 1, emergency surgery, was in the hosp until the 23rd, spent most of this month recuperating, recently got cleared to return to normal activity as he feels able.

11:23 am

pam

Oh, wow. Glad he is doing well, and I am sorry this happened. I can only imagine what it took out of you.

11:23 am

Nef

Wow, hurshy! I think I missed that also! I'm glad he's doing better!

11:24 am

Aloyisius

happy to hear the surgery went well and that he is mending

11:24 am

hurshy

yes, he could easily have died, so i am just very thankful that he is ok. he really beat a lot of odds.

11:25 am

pam

true that, Hursh!

11:26 am

Nef

he did, hurshy. how bad was the dissection? It sounds like he was in the right place when it all started. Any kidney problems along the way?

11:27 am

hurshy

it was very bad. about as bad as it can be and still be salvageable.

11:27 am

Nef

how old is he? He sounds like he must have been in pretty good health to start with.

11:28 am

hurshy

he was at work, luckily, because he wouldn't have done anything. chest pain, numbness, dizziness, etc, and so a co-worker called 9-1-1, and he works near a very good hosp and they diagnosed it within a few hours, and got him right into surgery. he's 55.

11:28 am

pam

he's young.

11:28 am

pam

wow

11:28 am

hurshy

i think there might have been a very brief kidney thing in the ICU but if so it was negligible and quickly fixed. the lungs needed more help.

11:29 am

Nef

Family history? He's very young for that unless there is a family history of Marfans or sudden deaths...

11:29 am

hurshy

no, no family history that we know of. we are now to mention to our own doctors that we may have friable arteries...

11:29 am

Aloyisius

must scoot.. good luck with the plumbing problem, hurshy.. byee all

11:29 am

hurshy

although we are all girls, which means we are at lower risk.

11:30 am

hurshy

what i read was that it is most common in men between 50 and 70, so, he's in the range.

11:31 am

Nef

yep; do let your own docs know about it. He was lucky all the way around if no lasting kidney problems.

11:32 am

hurshy

yeah they said he was obviously in good health otherwise.

11:32 am

Nef

I worked ICU for 34 years, hurshy; the younger guys usually ignore the symptoms at first and don't survive. He was very lucky he was at work

11:32 am

hurshy

he would have ignored it however old he was, i think.

11:33 am

hurshy

he almost stayed home from work bc he felt poorly, so it was good he didn't! see what a good work ethic will do for you? :)

11:35 am

Nef

Well, I hope he's learned not to ignore stuff from now on

11:36 am

hurshy

i hope so too...

11:36 am

hurshy

the main thing is that he will have to go for follow up visits every so often for i think a long time if not forever, so that will be good.

11:39 am

Nef

true. My best friend' Dad had a dissected abd. aorta and (luckily) he was visiting her here in the Cities when it happened. He lived on a farm (alone) and would have ignored it too. He lived for about 10 more years after; and kept thanking God for where he was when it happened.

11:39 am

Nef

Is your dad tall and thin? Did they discuss Marfan's with him?

11:40 am

hurshy

he's 6'2" but not thin - i mean not hugely fat either but reasonably muscular and stuff.

11:41 am

Nef

long thin fingers? Longer than the palm of his hands, maybe?

11:42 am

hurshy

they asked us about any history of marfan's but we had never heard of it. they didn't give me the impression that he definitely had it... i got the impression he was just on the weak-artery end of the spectrum, not quite syndrome class.

11:42 am

hurshy

i don't think his fingers are like that, no.

11:43 am

Nef

okay. Sorry for being so nosy and hogging chat; I've just taken care of so many patients over the years (and sometimes I really miss ICU <blush>

11:44 am

hurshy

we had some great ICU nurses, esp loved one who had been a military nurse for awhile before moving to civilian hospital. i certainly appreciate the existence of ICU nurses!

11:47 am

Nef

Thanks! :-) Like I said, I really miss it at times. But my plan of "dieing at the bedside in my CV-ICU unit was ruined when I had my foot injury 5 years ago... :-/

People with addictions are treated as if they have no power in addictions treatment programs, distorting the spiiritual meaning of "powerlessness" and surrender into something more malign

2:43 pm

Anniebrook

ri and picnic pest, boo

2:44 pm

stidmama

doesn't sound optimal to me, kaplan. Isn't is supposed to be about helping them GAIN power?

2:44 pm

And there is a lot to be said for family members disempowering the addicts in their lives. I need to go back to school.

2:44 pm

Boobear

ty annie

2:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

When people are poor or otherwise stigmatized, they are blamed for their addiction

2:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Whereas people like us can just Babble all day without getting our work done.

2:45 pm

MollyL

Actually Stid, the first step in AA is "Realized that we had become powerless over alcohol and our lives had become unmanageable. "

2:45 pm

stidmama

they are blamed for many things when poor or otherwise low status...

2:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But that potentially spiritual meaning of powerlessness gets distorted...

2:46 pm

stidmama

well, you have to admit you have a problem in order to take the necessary (powerful) steps to fix it, yes?

2:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They are blamed for their "choices" or lack of strength

2:47 pm

MollyL

Recovery programs emphasize humility, which is sort of the opposite of power. I don't know, it could be semantics.

2:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Two meanings of powerlessness- one more about surrender and acceptance, the other disempowering. That is my point. Now can you finish my paper for me?

2:47 pm

MollyL

I'd certainly take a shot at it Kap. Interesting comparison.

2:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It has to do with social context.

Kaplan the Magne

"I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in"

4:50 pm

welki

because some peoples' feet look pretty much the same or are only slightly different in shape (from left to right) ... my orthotics don't go all the way to my toes, so unless i took a close look at the arch, i might need to take a look at L or R

4:50 pm

hootowl

I could understand if the were indistinguishable but it is very obvious from the shape where they go!

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That word! Careful! it's getting crowded!

4:51 pm

hootowl

but shoes are shaped too

4:51 pm

7:22 pm

rururocks

7:23 pm

stidmama

7:23 pm

rururocks

7:24 pm

rururocks

I had to work today.

7:24 pm

rururocks

no football.

7:24 pm

rururocks

no.. it sucks

7:24 pm

stidmama

raining here as well

7:24 pm

Dorens

rain ... not snow? unimaginable

7:24 pm

stidmama

poor poor poor doren!

7:24 pm

rururocks

hey doren.

7:24 pm

Dorens

we had another foot the other day... i has been quite an ordeal... either pay $100 to get plowed out or shovel. a lot of shoveling

7:25 pm

rururocks

like my snowman?

7:25 pm

stidmama

very "cheerful" ruru. *rolls eyes*

7:25 pm

Dorens

love it, ru. thought about making one the other day after all the shoveling all we could do was get in the hot tub and watch the birds

7:26 pm

stidmama

I have been watching the news about your weather doren. Just wish we were getting a bit of snow. It makes things brighter this time of year

7:26 pm

Dorens

operative term there... "a bit of"

7:26 pm

Dorens

now i have an ice dam forming.... icicles are inside my bedroom window, not outside!

7:26 pm

stidmama

true. ten inches would be sufficient for my purposes... LOL

7:27 pm

stidmama

oh no doren! *runs to the rescue with buckets and rags*

7:27 pm

Dorens

trying to clear out the gutters up there... solid ice... not easy

7:28 pm

stidmama

salt?

7:28 pm

stidmama

rock salt that will gradually release?

7:28 pm

rururocks

*sends 4 hair dryers to doren*

7:28 pm

Dorens

my biggest problem though, is that i have had to give up on making my relationship with my one true love work. it is over... (although he did try to put some calcium chloride up there in a nylon for me... we'll see what happens)

7:28 pm

Dorens

hair dryers, now there's an idea

7:29 pm

rururocks

and your one true love is?

7:29 pm

Dorens

it was kind of funny... watching this big 6'2" linebacker type up on the roof which is covered with ten inches of snow... slipping around... almost slid off the roof at one point.. and when it was time to come down, he eschewed the ladder and jumped into a big pile of soft snow

7:29 pm

lynxxx

Hello again.

7:29 pm

stidmama

oh no doren! *worried mama look*

7:30 pm

stidmama

hey lynxxx! are you melting? care to send some of it doren's way?

7:30 pm

lynxxx

That all sounds ppretty miserable Dorens. Hope something nice happens for you very very soon

7:30 pm

Dorens

the guy from long term relationship... who doesn't drink wine... (recovering from substance abuse)... loads of fun, really the most lovable guy, but as lot of what makes him fun is that he';s a big kid... and what makes an adult relationhship difficult is that he's a big kid

7:30 pm

rururocks

did he make a snow angel when he landed doren?

7:31 pm

Dorens

thanks lynxxx... problem is that i really do love him, so never can really let go... he should move to florida or something and then i can get really over him... but as long as he's around here it's hard. NO, ru.. he landed in a crouch possition and the snow came up to his waist

7:31 pm

stidmama

that's too bad. wish it were working out better.

7:32 pm

rururocks

skip florida ... send him to Nebraska doren.. that'll kill any love

7:32 pm

Dorens

me too. this weekend is tough cause he's moving out on monday (my request, but still it is so very very sad) he is my best friend in so many ways and has been for so long

7:32 pm

Dorens

hahaha... he'd die in nebraska. that's for sure

7:33 pm

stidmama

((((gentle hugs for doren))))

7:33 pm

rururocks

that doesn't sound win win doren.. why won't it work?

7:33 pm

stidgmere

Hi everyone. Just getting ready to start dinner. Need to help with icecicles (sp) but maybe its time for slushies.

7:34 pm

lynxxx

hi stidgmere

7:34 pm

Dorens

no it isn't winwin, there are many reasons why it won't work. so complicated.. including the fact that my kids can't forgive him for past transgressions (when he DID drink) Although he really was a gentle drunk.

7:34 pm

stidmama

hello mother!

7:34 pm

stidgmere

Hi lynxx.

7:34 pm

stidmama

down to 51...

7:35 pm

Dorens

hi stidgmere.. icicles?

7:35 pm

stidgmere

Hi mama. It's oysters tonight for dinner. If I ever get going. This grid is taking too much time and I have 73 words left.

7:35 pm

rururocks

They can't forgive a changed man?

7:35 pm

Dorens

i think it's time for my syrah

7:35 pm

stidgmere

Yes, dorens icicles.

7:35 pm

stidgmere

Emotions are not always logical.

7:36 pm

Dorens

no, they can't ... in fact rachel is barely speaking to me and david completely stopped speaking to me when I told him. it has made me very sad. not only can't they forgive him. they can't forgive me for seeing him again.

7:36 pm

Dorens

true... exceedingly emotional here and not at all logical.

7:36 pm

Dorens

other reasons tho, ru... he really is like an irresponsible teenager, not a grown man and sometimes it is thoroughly exasperating

7:37 pm

stidmama

doren, I don't know what to say, except don't give up your happiness because of your children's opinions. (((more hugs))) it needs to truly be your decision, based on your own wants and needs.

7:37 pm

Dorens

ok. enough. i will shut up, finish my wine and find these last 13 words... maybe lickety will help me.

7:38 pm

rururocks

well then.. you need a real man then doren.. kind, funny, and mature.. (who likes word games)

7:38 pm

Dorens

stidgmere, my neighbor has an icicle from her roof that is about seven feet long... incredible

7:38 pm

stidmama

LOL you volunteering for icicle removal duty ruru?

7:38 pm

Dorens

yes ru, but i doubt i will find him, and if I do, I doubt that i'll like him, and if I do, then who knows if he can stand me!

7:38 pm

stidgmere

Take care Dorens and don't walk under the roof edges.

7:38 pm

rururocks

hmmm

7:39 pm

Dorens

and a big prblem is that i am in love with him, have always been, probably always will be, and the real men might measure up in many ways, but don't know if i could ever love anyone else

7:39 pm

rururocks

there aren't any mature men on the east coast?

7:39 pm

stidmama

I don't think so ruru... *wracks brain trying to think of one*

7:40 pm

Dorens

i am ridiculously picky, you can't imagine

7:40 pm

rururocks

oh.. I forgot, he needs to have good taste in wine, be an accomplished chef, and knows how to clear icicles.

7:40 pm

stidmama

he also has to be funny, sensitive, self-less, and bake yummy cakes.

7:40 pm

Dorens

of course, many people wonder why on earth i am so in love with him.... but then again, many others do understand it. he is uneducated, black, and ......... so many reasons why it shouldn't work... but we really do love each other

7:40 pm

stidmama

or at least know how to find the best restaurants...

7:40 pm

Dorens

no ... no cakes.... doren is getting much too fat

7:41 pm

stidgmere

Wait, ruru, this guy doesn't know how to do that. Yet, he qualifies. Remember that logical part--it doesn't work.

7:41 pm

stidmama

*revises to "most amazing yummy salads"*

7:41 pm

Dorens

exactly.... there is no logic here at all... except he really does get me, and i don't know others who do.

7:41 pm

stidmama

my nana used to make the most delicious salads

7:41 pm

rururocks

I kinda understand doren.. your daughter is very protective of you

7:41 pm

Dorens

find restaurant... he can't afford to take me to any.. he never realized his potential, has no real skills

7:41 pm

stidmama

my mother made a gelatin salad that I adored... can't eat anymore, but loved.

7:42 pm

Dorens

yup!! that is part of it, ru

7:42 pm

stidmama

he is still "a work in progress" doren, yes?

7:42 pm

stidmama

does a man need a huge income to be a worthy human being?

7:42 pm

Dorens

he will be till he dies stid... and he is so very impressive, with the most beautiful deep voice, and articulate, and charming, and so very very funny.

7:43 pm

stidmama

I bet he's nice to be around.

7:43 pm

Dorens

and of course smart, witty, but also too silly, but he makes me delicious coffee every morning and brings it to my bedside, even tho he doesn't need to get up at 6:30

7:43 pm

stidgmere

Well, someday i suppose we'll grow up but in the meantime, we're still all learning.

7:44 pm

Dorens

no, of course not... stid. but he's been unemployed for a year. and yes, he is very nice to be around.. most of the time

7:44 pm

rururocks

maybe you need a personal assistant and not a boyfriend doren..LOL

7:44 pm

stidgmere

I think only Martha Stewart is pretty finished. At least she tells everybody the best way to do everything. I'm still finding new ways to do old things.

7:44 pm

Dorens

lol ru, you might have something there

7:45 pm

stidmama

or maybe it's okay for people in relationship to decide what works for them, instead of worrying about conventions and what other people do (or want)

7:45 pm

Dorens

oh, i don't pretend to be perfect... and honestly, i don't expect him to. but some of the things happening the last month or two are just more than i can handle... i am not going into details

7:45 pm

stidmama

that's okay doren, you don't have to explain -- to anyone

7:45 pm

Dorens

he still needs more work, and we have a twenty year history of him becoming too dependent on me, it is so easy, and not doing what he needs to do. He still hasn't paid off fines and has no driver's license

7:46 pm

rururocks

oh. jeezus

7:46 pm

stidgmere

I know you will do the best you can at this time dorens so know we support you. Poof.

7:46 pm

Dorens

maybe this time he'll be on his own and get it together better... who knows about the future

7:46 pm

stidmama

bye Mother

7:46 pm

rururocks

uh doren...

7:46 pm

Dorens

7:47 pm

stidmama

*gasp* rofl

7:47 pm

Dorens

ru, that's why he has to leave. i see it

7:48 pm

rururocks

you have already raised your children doren

7:48 pm

rururocks

.. unless he's really good in the sack.. you might need a cabana boy this summer

7:49 pm

Dorens

and it ends with Ent!! see, i can. and yes, ru, that is exactly why he has to leave! i am not going to be his mother. when he moved back in in september he had really advanced, and I had hopes that he was on the right path, and he may be. but being here wasn't working (imho)

7:49 pm

Dorens

he always took care of the hot tub, since I first bought it... i don't know what to do with it

7:49 pm

rururocks

you might be holding him back from growth

7:49 pm

Dorens

precisely!!!

7:50 pm

stidmama

*gives doren a bravery badge* you can do it... and so can he.

7:50 pm

Dorens

oh, di, back to that cribbage thing...if you play on time, simply take your time before the next hand to find all the points the 'puter found before the next deal...not sure if that would help you with counting with your hubby, but might get your mind thinking...then just make a goal to shorten the time between each hand....

10:28 pm
