am ok, bit of a broken night because I had to pick up my son from school party at 3 am. How is your husband?

4:43 am

rubyfoo

he makes me very tired. he is nice to the nurse and the housekeeper, but when I say something to him, he rolls his eyes. I've invited his daughter to come from California, because I'm not sure he's going to get better.

4:43 am

Jayk

does no one here get to sleep through the night?

4:44 am

sprite

babble seems to be a haven for the insomniacs, lol.

4:45 am

rubyfoo

and while the housekeeper is on her one-month vacation (I haven't had a vacation that long since I was a child) his daughter can help me with housework and carrying stuff

4:45 am

rubyfoo

and I need 8 hours!!

4:45 am

rubyfoo

haven't had 8 since husband got sick!

4:45 am

sprite

I guess you are the only thing he is certain of at this moment, rubyfoo. He must be feeling pretty much out of control of his situation and maybe he takes it out on the one person he is certain will stand by him.

4:46 am

Jayk

That sounds right Sprite

4:46 am

rubyfoo

he's pushing his luck (only kidding) but this is certainly a welcome respite

4:47 am

rubyfoo

I almost just typed a nasty (but, weirdly) acceptable word into the chat.....

4:48 am

sprite

I think it is very wise. Call in the cavalry and try to take a couple of hours for yourself every day. It is the only way to survive.

4:49 am

rubyfoo

these c words are much fun!

4:50 am

sprite

it always amuses me that we type in words for the grid that we wouldn't dream of typing in chog.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

or saying, for that matter!

4:51 am

rubyfoo

and that one is particularly nasty

4:51 am

sprite

yeah it is.

4:52 am

sprite

how are you, Jayck? Except for up wayyyy too early?

4:52 am

rubyfoo

I have to go make lucnh, see you later

4:52 am

rubyfoo

4:53 am

or even lunch.....

4:54 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo, take it easy

4:54 am

Jayk

Doing well, thanks. Signs of spring very encouraging

4:54 am

sprite

oh I fully agree! Makes all the difference, seeing how Spring is starting.

4:55 am

Jayk

when i put the wretched cat out this morning the air felt SOFT!

4:57 am

sprite

day before yesterday, it was positively soft outside. Yesterday was suddenly very cold, but now I think we have another early spring day :)

4:57 am

Jayk

i know spring can't really be here yet, but the hints are still welcome. although eventually i'll have to face the shambles of the garden

4:59 am

sprite

I guess we will see some more cold days, but we are getting close now. Another month and it is officially Spring.

5:12 am

sprite

I do. Also enjoyed recent grid bearing your name, btw.

hurshy

i'm in there today too - as au4 :)

6:49 am

lol indeed!

6:50 am

MollyL

Morning all. I get a bit afraid when an a/8 is so weird. If the words are that strange early in the grid, what am I letting myself in for? Spooky.

6:50 am

hurshy

a8? do te4.

6:54 am

sprite

hiya Molly, I am not finding this one easy.
An + boy's name that is also a valid word in this grid + british short for thank you.

6:55 am

sprite

def is:
selected passages from the writings of an author or of different authors

6:55 am

MollyL

Thanks Sprite. I had the word. I just think it's weird as hell.

6:55 am

isn't that usually an anthology?

*Gets more coffee so as to be able to properly pay attention*

6:58 am

MollyL

Lil, it starts with a phase you get stuck in if you are improperly potty trained.

6:59 am

lil*monkey

OK got it now

6:59 am

MollyL

The boys name is one of the Baldwins.

6:59 am

let me think...
To split things into parts to understand them better = to An**yse.

7:02 am

sprite

hi mside

7:02 am

rubyfoo

oh, I miss dunkin donuts!

7:02 am

sprite

Molly, did you read my profile text? It is a projection of his skull/DNA and resembles portraits of him very closely.

7:03 am

MollyL

I love that DNA projection stuff. It's like what Angela does on "Bones".

7:03 am

msideb01

Haha, some days I live or die by Dunks, ruby... dunno what I'll do when I move out west

7:03 am

sprite

*grabs a coffee and decides that doughnuts are too good to miss, so 2nd breakfast is in order*

7:03 am

rubyfoo

don't they have them in the West?

7:03 am

MollyL

Ruby, there is plenty left, help yourself. And hey, in honor of you, I bought Pepperidge Farm bread yesterday.

7:04 am

rubyfoo

(smiling)

7:04 am

rubyfoo

I actually bought myself a jelly donut for my lunch (beignet confiture framboise)

7:04 am

sprite

nope they don't

7:04 am

MollyL

I've decided that since it's only 70 calories a slice, it's diet food. : P

7:05 am

sprite

everything is diet food. We only need to slice it thin enough.
Am sorry, but must be away for a little bit, my love needs me.

it's the butter and jam that'll get you!

drat c words

7:13 am

MollyL

Dirty word alert!!

7:13 am

rubyfoo

it's always surprising, since it's something we wouldn't say or write in the chog

7:14 am

rubyfoo

naturally, it was one of the first words I saw hahah

7:14 am

MollyL

Watch, one of these days, someone will slip up and type that one in the chat box. : P

7:14 am

rubyfoo

oh no! probably me

7:15 am

rubyfoo

+hereafter referred to as the c word!

7:16 am

Kazzer99

afternoon all - i really hate that word

7:16 am

sprite

back. Let's all boycot the bad word and not type it in. Oh... too late!

7:17 am

rubyfoo

I must confess, I used that word once, called a bad guy I worked with that. He was dumbstruck, but deserved it and knew it!

7:17 am

Trifioso

hello friends!

7:17 am

rubyfoo

7:17 am

sprite

Triffles! *hugggggs* How are you today?

7:17 am

Trifioso

having a blessed lie in, sprite -- how's you?

7:18 am

sprite

am good, dear friend. Working like a fiend in therapy but really seeing results atm. So dog tired but very good.

7:19 am

Trifioso

what kind of therapy are you doing?

7:20 am

Trifioso

we had the MOST amazing storm here last night! lightning, HUGE thunder, high winds, and apparently some hail, though I didn't see any....very rare for a T storm in February!

7:21 am

sprite

seeing a psychiatrist to fix my mental state, a physical therapist to fix my body and a creative therapist to fix my emotional state. I am the one in the middle, integrating everything until it fits.

7:21 am

sprite

wow! I hope you were inside and there was no damage. Must have been impressive to watch.

7:21 am

Trifioso

wow, good for YOU!!!! I am so glad to hear that you are having success, and I can't wait to hear all about the positive changes you are experiencing!

7:22 am

Trifioso

I have been doing a lot of reading on compassion v. resentment -- quite eye opening

7:23 am

sprite

it is darn hard work and has been for some years. But am getting there :) Will email you more, if you like.

Oh yes, compassion is a miracle cure. Compassion leads to freedom, resentment shackles you to the resentmentee ;)

7:24 am

MollyL

My sister sent me a great quote on "crazymakers" this morning. And how, by attending to them, we neglect our own creativity.

7:24 am

rubyfoo

half and time to lie down

7:24 am

rubyfoo

7:25 am

rubyfoo

I want to hear more about crazymakers, molly

7:25 am

Trifioso

I agree sprite, it does. or at least gets you to look at WHY someone might act the way they do. I feel like resentment is internally focused - "why are they doing this to ME?" whereas compassion just stops at the "why are they doing this?" and it helps me not buy into the whole pity party

7:25 am

rubyfoo

if you have time could you send me the quote?

7:25 am

MollyL

Ruby, I'll put it in my profile.

7:25 am

Trifioso

also, in terms of Mr. Hate, it helped me to realize that he might have ended up with the money, and his new life and all, but he paid a HELL of a price (his children, his integrity, his friends, the respect of everyone who loved him) and I would not trade with him for a million dollars.

7:26 am

rubyfoo

there was a breast cancer organization called "Why Me?" Why not you, was my feeling, or anybody

7:26 am

rubyfoo

ty molly

7:28 am

jmbdobie2

Hi Sprite. If hego agrees, maybe Flower Monday could be flowers for Nancy Boy?

7:28 am

Trifioso

excellent, ruby! I once heard a famous football player, who had been paralyzed in a game accident, when asked by an interviewer "do you ever ask 'why me'?" respond with best answer EVER == "Look around you. I had a million dollar contract, a gorgeous home, beautiful family, everything! I didn't ask 'why me?' then, so I am not asking it now."

7:29 am

MollyL

I heard once that the answer to "why me?" is "because you have a lesson to learn from this".

7:29 am

sprite

very good, Trif! That is it. And even the whole question of why someone is doing what they do isn't necessary. If you can accept the fact that you cannot know what lives inside people and what made them become like that, you can be compassionate without even knowing the why.

7:29 am

Trifioso

that is good, molly!

7:30 am

Trifioso

good insight sprite! I think you are very right.

7:30 am

MollyL

And to get even further into Sprite's comment...do we REALLY want to "understand" these people? REALLY?

7:30 am

rubyfoo

I just read your profile Molly, you are a hero!!!!

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

he's in the grid today.

7:30 am

MollyL

I saw that Kap, and waved at him.

7:30 am

sprite

hi jmbdobie, not sure... Let me ponder that for a little while, ok? We all miss him, but I am not sure that for the ones closest to him a reminder of the pain every 2 weeks is a good idea...

7:31 am

MollyL

Ruby, I'm not a hero. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. : P

7:31 am

rubyfoo

hello kaplan, I was going, but this chat is too interesting

7:31 am

sprite

one of my teachers answered to the question of "Why me?" : and what if you were excluded from the suffering of the human race? Where would that place you?

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

i'm trying to follow it.

7:32 am

Trifioso

For me, molly, it's not so much the understanding of why they are doing it, as the step away from projecting some sort of malice into their actions. I admit, I am a person who feels resentful a lot, and I am working hard to reduce that. So for me, looking at someone's destructive behavior from another angle takes it off me, in a way

7:32 am

MollyL

How are you feeling this morning Kap? Headache gone?

7:32 am

uusue2

morning, all!

7:32 am

sprite

chat is flying. Hi Kaplan. Thanks Molly, copied it.

7:32 am

MollyL

Morning Sue.

7:33 am

rubyfoo

uusue, this is a big change from our usual "food talk"

7:33 am

sprite

hi suee

7:33 am

sprite

I mean hi uusue

7:33 am

MollyL

Trif, focusing on compassion instead of resentment is very healthy. It reminds me of some of the things Mother Teresa said.

7:33 am

uusue2

I see that :-) but a useful discussion nonetheless, and relevant to my current situation...

7:33 am

uusue2

Hi, molly, ruby, and sprite!

7:33 am

Trifioso

what I mean is, rather than thinking "why is this happening to me?" I can think things like "wow, this person must be really unhappy to be acting in this way. How can I make this interaction less stressful?"

7:34 am

uusue2

and trif!

7:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think headache is fading. Will try to get to the gym later

7:34 am

Trifioso

Hello uusue!

7:34 am

uusue2

Yes, I'm trying to have that attitude towards my stepmother; it's hard (and my dad is pretty much just plain mad).

7:34 am

EspritdJean

good morning kids

7:35 am

uusue2

glad to hear you are feeling better, kap!

7:35 am

Trifioso

I keep meaning to tell you, we have a lovely UU church right up the street from us, in a gorgeous, very old NE church building....I wish you could see it, I know you would love it

7:35 am

rubyfoo

bonjour jean

7:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

i got uo at 3 am to eat saltines, take sleep med and babble

7:35 am

hi dJean

7:35 am

MollyL

Some very good advice I got once was..."don't neglect your anger, but don't let it consume you either."

7:35 am

uusue2

sounds lovely, trif!

7:35 am

uusue2

and hi, jean!

7:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's all about emotional regulation.

7:35 am

sprite

that is very apt, Molly.

7:36 am

MollyL

Oh DUH. I didn't realize the UU stood for that.

7:36 am

EspritdJean

hi sprite, ruby, uu

7:36 am

rubyfoo

I have difficulty expressing anger; it wasn't allowed in our house

7:36 am

Trifioso

and that is the crux of where I am at with this whole thing, molly - I agree with the basic idea of living in a more compassionate way, but I struggle with the idea that there must be a line drawn somewhere

7:36 am

MollyL

Ruby needs a Dammit Doll.

7:36 am

rubyfoo

what's that?

7:36 am

EspritdJean

or a RX for DamnitALL

7:37 am

rubyfoo

hahah

7:37 am

Trifioso

let's see - how do I explain this? Take a battered woman for example. I would not want her to spend a lot of time ruminating over why her batterer was like he was - I would want her to RUN.

7:37 am

sprite

the line must be drawn where accepting and adapting to behaviour isn't good for you anymore.

7:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

compassion with common sense

7:38 am

Trifioso

I really do think some people are just toxic, and should be avoided whenever possible. but how to dovetail that with the ideal of a more compassionate outlook?

7:38 am

Trifioso

and what about compassion for self? some days I am just legitimately tired, and perhaps in those moments compassion is just too far away for me. Can I be compassionate to myself then, and just disengage? I think yes.

7:38 am

sprite

I think here you maybe confusing action with feeling, Trif? Of course she must leave. If she can. The time to challenge the resentment and admit compassion comes later, when she is safe from him and can start to heal.

7:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

you can be compassionate and still have good judgement

7:39 am

uusue2

yes, and you can be compassionate from a distance.

7:39 am

Trifioso

ah, yes sprite, I think you hit it right on the head there

7:40 am

sprite

first, be compassionate to yourself! Absolutely.
And being compassionate isn't the same as accepting everything thrown at you. On the contrary. It is saying: I have no right or reason to judge you. I do, however, have the obligation to myself to judge how much and what I will accept.

7:41 am

Trifioso

I think for me the biggest challenge is compassion with boundaries. I need to practice saying things like "I understand you are upset and I do want to hear what the problem is. However, right now you are speaking to me in a very disrespectful way, so I am ending this conversation until we can speak to each other calmly." and then walk away.

7:41 am

Boobear

hi all

7:41 am

Trifioso

hello boo!

7:41 am

MollyL

Boundaries. They are very important. Many of us discover that we are boundary-less.

7:41 am

uusue2

hi, boo!

7:41 am

sprite

hi Boo

7:41 am

rubyfoo

BOO!!

7:42 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

7:42 am

Trifioso

I also need to develop a MUCH better ability to say "or maybe you are just a big ol' cu 4/6, LATER"

7:42 am

uusue2

lol, trif!

7:42 am

Trifioso

ha ha ah

7:42 am

MollyL

And I firmly believe that you cannot be good to, or love someone else fully, unless you are good to and love yourself.

7:43 am

uusue2

absolutely, molly!

7:43 am

sprite

I think that sounds very good, Trif. I think it would also be ok to just say: "Right now this isn't healthy for me, and I take my distance for now."
We tend to be boundary-less, as Moly said, and also we often think we need to explain ourselves.

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

L- is for the way you Look at me

7:43 am

sprite

amen, Molly

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

O is for the Only One i see

7:45 am

Trifioso

that is good sprite! But I must admit, I also resent (ugh, there is that word again!) people (and by this I mean "he who must not be named") who ALWAYS respond with "we need to talk about this later" but later NEVER comes. They just can't deal with anything, so they retreat and avoid. drives me batty

7:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVis Very Very

7:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

Extra-ordinary...

7:45 am

Trifioso

EXTRAORDINARY

7:45 am

uusue2

also true, trif!

7:45 am

7:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

How about this chestnut-

7:55 am

And nothing wrong with chocolate milk. You are eating a breakfast, that is the great thing.

Very nice, uusue!

8:03 am

agai

8:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

Did you ever wonder abut the word "Jewish?" -It seems a funny way to describe a person of a religion.

8:04 am

uusue2

ah yes, the camel - the bu** of my favorite Yiddish joke -

8:04 am

periwinkle

check out my icon for today, may need to refresh

8:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

I mean I wouldn't say you are "unitarianish" or Islamish or presbyterianish...

8:04 am

Trifioso

uu, your profile is very interesting! love the list of babblets....

8:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ok what's the joke. Save me from my own line of thought

8:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

Is the Pope Catholicish?

8:05 am

Trifioso

actually, kaplan, you remind me -- I am not Cath, and I have always wondered -- they call the Pope a "pontif" right/

8:06 am

sprite

I think we do say it just like that in dutch, Kaplan.

8:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah?...........

8:06 am

Trifioso

so what does that say about "pontificate?"

8:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, Sprite?

8:06 am

uusue2

So this guy goes and buys a camel, and is riding it down Broadway. One of his friends asks him whether the camel is male or female; he assures him that it's male. How do you know, the friend asked. Well, he says, I was riding the camel down Broadway and I heard someone say, "Look at the schmuck on that camel!"

8:07 am

bbl

8:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAA!

8:07 am

uusue2

:-)

8:08 am

sprite

yep. Hij is Joods = he is Jewish.
Hij is katholiek = he is catholic
Hij is protestant = he is Reformed.
No lack of logic in dutch. Though there is in English, as you said.

8:08 am

sprite

lol uusue!

8:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

"ish" usually means sort of like. A pinkish tinge.

8:09 am

Boobear

clue for an 8 please

8:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

You working the grid, Boo?

8:09 am

uusue2

My son, whose father is Jewish (although I am not) has a T-shirt that says "I'm not really a Jew - I'm Jew-ish"

8:09 am

Boobear

yes

8:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

There you go. That's what I'm talking about.

8:09 am

sprite

an + **** Baldwin + brits thank you

8:10 am

sprite

I think you can say it is pink, or it is pinkish. Latter is less pink. But there are several words ending in ish that don't have that 'less' aspect of meaning.

8:10 am

uusue2

got two words out of that one, sprite! ty!

8:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

Knish.

8:11 am

uusue2

lol, kaplan!

8:12 am

Boobear

not getting your clue sprite

8:12 am

sprite

coquettish. Vinegarish. Admonish. Fish.

8:12 am

Trifioso

for that matter, Polish, Flemish, Danish, etc....

8:13 am

MollyL

The other 8 is an en. The 7 has the small measure (less than a pound) at the end. And it's past tense is the 8.

8:13 am

sprite

Trif, do you know that polish is the only British word that changes pronunciation when you write it with a capital?

8:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Some of those ishes are the same as Jew-ish. Poish- sort of a Pole.

8:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Shoe Polish.

8:13 am

Trifioso

we were speaking of that very thing at work the other day, sprite!

8:14 am

uusue2

got three from that one, Molly! THX!

8:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

Prague and the Hague don't rhyme.

8:14 am

MollyL

Another clue for the an 8. A stage you go through when you are not properly potty trained + A cult is also called a s*** + first vowel

8:14 am

sprite

not sort of a Pole. It means fully 'a Pole'. You cannot say: that Dutchman is Polish.

8:15 am

welki

but he could certainly be polished

8:15 am

sprite

I love random facts, Trif :)

8:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

You could if he was acting like a Pole, but I think I am not going to win this debate.

8:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

The facts are interfering with my logic. I shoud go into politics.\

8:15 am

Trifioso

I give up on the a in the bottom corner, which I am sure is completely fishy. clue please?

8:16 am

sprite

I mean, pinkish means a bit pink.
But Polish does not mean a bit from Poland. There is nothing diminishing about the -ish ending in the last word.

8:16 am

sprite

Trif: the 2 kinds of cards in the Tarot.

8:16 am

8:48 am

8:49 am

i would never ever do it - that would be a colossal time suck

crosshair

just a little something to amuse you between regular grid flips

8:49 am

o-o

Dr_God has been watching several times this week.

8:49 am

jmcnrick

well i think the idea is for those days when the grid is 34 moderately easy words

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

11:35 am

wildcat17

yup it might. does he have a support system in NJ?

11:36 am

rururocks

PB for TO..lol

11:36 am

wildcat17

points to pb for TO

11:36 am

uusue2

He should be able to; he's walking now with a walker, longer distances than he needs to at home, and much of his house is on one level,

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

is there brisket and latkes in there?

11:37 am

wildcat17

sure TO

11:37 am

rururocks

*makes some sweet potato latkes for TO*

11:37 am

phaeton

ca7...kinda like the italian dessert

11:37 am

uusue2

Wildcat, he has a lot of friends, so I think he'll be ok as far as support goes (as long as he is willing to ask; he likes to be left alone, so the 5 weeks he's spent in hospital and rehab have been very tough on him)

11:37 am

uusue2

ooh - sweet potato latkes? Let me type in a word!

11:37 am

rururocks

thank you

11:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm close with the It. dessert but not getting it

11:38 am

wildcat17

well I thought my dad was the independent type but in his 80s he's been very willing to reach out to friends nearby and ask for help. I think he realized how much he needed it

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

yum

11:38 am

uusue2

Good to hear, wildcat; I hope my dad does the same.

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's hard to lose one's parent's but it's also hard to see them decline.

11:39 am

wildcat17

it's a conversation worth having. I hope he agrees

11:39 am

wildcat17

I'm not sure which is harder kap

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Why can't we all just go quietly, with dignity, when we feel like we're done.

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Neither am I. Both hard.

11:39 am

uusue2

and quickly (at least that's the way I want to go!)

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

11:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Best is to have parents who are like John Kenneth Galbraith.

11:40 am

11:40 am

My dad is still intellectually active, and his body is in pretty good shape too except for the broken leg - he may very well go another 10 years (he's 89 now)

11:42 am

uusue2

also, kap, if you don't have the ca word yet, it is the same as the French word for cinnamon except with a different last letter

11:43 am

wildcat17

uusue2

ok, time to go back and visit with my dad some more - bbl!

12:37 pm

uusue2

Incidentally (she says, not actually having left) - I am reminded of a story my (Hungarian) dissertation advisor once told be about the difference between French and Hungarians - he said that the French leave without saying goodbye, while Hungarians say goodbye without leaving :-) - right now I am more Hungarian than French...

Hi ((Jilly Jill)). You are so welcome. I am fine and you?

12:51 pm

redturtlehead

Hello Mom!

12:52 pm

Mom

((Red)) hello. How is the house purchasing coming?

12:53 pm

redturtlehead

very slow. The bank asked the seller for one more form and seller provided, but no word. So I of course have tome t think do I really want to do this!

12:53 pm

Mom

which way are you le**ing?

12:54 pm

redturtlehead

If it goes through I will purchase it. If not...I will probably not go househunting again until next year. prices are going to continue to drop...

12:54 pm

Mom

that is a good way to feel about it

12:54 pm

ChampFit

Red...I'm a realtor...need any help?

12:54 pm

Mom

Hi Champ!

12:55 pm

Boobear

hi Mom..clue for the third ca 6/21 please

12:55 pm

redturtlehead

It's a short sale, so I think all I can do is to sort of wait. I email my agent once a week and get an update....

12:55 pm

ChampFit

Hi Mom! And everyone!

12:55 pm

redturtlehead

Part of it just dreading all that moving again.

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

Boobear

Hi Champ

12:55 pm

Mom

((Boo)) hello

12:55 pm

ChampFit

Oh honey...you're going to wait and wait and wait. If you aren't in a hurry, it can be a good thing. the waiting scares a lot of people off.

12:55 pm

Jillyjill

12:56 pm

Jillyjill

*bundles up crossy*

12:56 pm

Mom

((Crossy)) not the freezing cold! take care

12:56 pm

redturtlehead

I think a maving company may do it, though I will probably change a ton of furniture. so a throwing out company will work.

12:56 pm

ChampFit

take care crossy!

12:56 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

12:56 pm

ChampFit

estate sale!

12:57 pm

Yes, here in Fl Champ, and I guess in some other places, there is almost nothing to buy but short sales....but the deal is good and it is a nice townhome!

12:57 pm

Mom

12:57 pm

redturtlehead

LOL!

12:57 pm

redturtlehead

Bye Jilly!

12:58 pm

Mom

bye Jilly

12:58 pm

redturtlehead

A lot of it is very old and sort of junkish mom!

12:58 pm

ChampFit

The banks are in no rush, and the left had doesn't know what the other hand is doing. It can take a very long time. But in the end, a great deal is a great deal!

12:58 pm

redturtlehead

I have been waiting abotu 3 weeks. I gave them 60 days, so after 60 days....

12:59 pm

Mom

Red, that is not junkish, that is antique

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

oh not that old! most was from target!

12:59 pm

ChampFit

It'll be longer than that...

12:59 pm

Mom

lol

12:59 pm

redturtlehead

1:00 pm

It's hot and icky here!

chilly here today Red, but the last two were wonderful

1:00 pm

Mom

how about you?

1:00 pm

JBV

hi folks - and red, that very special old furniture is not junk, it's junque!

1:00 pm

JBV

yesterday it was 71 degrees here = today we have some kind of weird wind storm going on

1:00 pm

ChampFit

good one JBV!

1:00 pm

((JBV)) hello

1:00 pm

JBV

cold and very blustery

1:00 pm

1:01 pm

Mom

Hi Pav

1:01 pm

Angela

terribly windy here - had the chimney cap blow off and land on the roof - cat and I were none too pleased :)

1:01 pm

PAV3

Hiya Mom!

1:01 pm

JBV

Babble is great - I sign on and get medical advice, real estate advice - can anyone answer a relatively EASY estate tax question??

1:01 pm

Mom

Hi Angela, I bet not

1:02 pm

PAV3

only if it's not too hard!

1:02 pm

ChampFit

where

1:02 pm

MollyL

Define "relatively easy".

1:02 pm

ChampFit

where's jmc when you need her?

1:02 pm

Angela

Southwest NH

1:02 pm

Angela

oh! lol champ - thought you meant me :)

1:02 pm

ChampFit

:)

1:02 pm

Angela

she's 19 and does not like loud noises :)

1:03 pm

JBV

NJ - I will not be subject to federal or state tax, I already know that, but do I need to set up an estate bank account to accept transfer of funds from one account that is giving me a major headache - offices are closed til Tuesday, of course, so I have to wait to ask anyone "official"

1:03 pm

wildcat17

19! wow!

1:03 pm

MollyL

It's very windy here too. Stuff is blowing all over the place. And there was a bad fire about a mile from here.

1:04 pm

Angela

I know, right?

1:04 pm

Angela

She's a pistol.

1:04 pm

MollyL

JBV, just be sure that before you go to the bank, there will be someone there who knows how to set up an estate account. Apparently all bank employees are not trained to do that.

1:04 pm

MollyL

And, you are going to need a tax ID number from the Feds.

1:05 pm

PAV3

setting up a bank account s/b easier if you have the docs in order...

1:05 pm

PAV3

I always ask for the branch mgr or asst

1:06 pm

JBV

believe me, Molly, I have learned about the different levels of skill and competence of bank employees - this is not a bank, though, it's a mutual fund - my question is whether I really need the estate tax account though, can't it just go into my own account with my own tax ID

1:07 pm

wildcat17

for tax purposes at the end of the year it might be easier to have the estate tax account

1:07 pm

wildcat17

keep it separate

1:07 pm

PAV3

not if the funds are be paid to an estate...you'll have to have POA or other doc giving you permission

1:10 pm

Angela

ac5?

1:11 pm

wildcat17

jbv I wonder if you could call the irs helpline and if they could answer this question

1:11 pm

PinnyPoppins

grows on an oak tree, angela

1:11 pm

Angela

sorry - first ac5

1:12 pm

wildcat17

high card plus british thank you

1:12 pm

Angela

ty wildcat!

1:12 pm

JBV

yes, I'm sure I can get the answer on Tuesday - not today :)

1:12 pm

wildcat17

yw

1:13 pm

PAV3

you could always check irs.gov

1:14 pm

wildcat17

check back periodically to see if jmcrick comes on.

1:14 pm

JBV

yes, thanks PAV - they tell you HOW To do it - which is relatively easy but my question is whether I really need to do it -

1:14 pm

JBV

I can call my local surrogate court offic e- they have been very helpful so far

1:15 pm

wildcat17

I would think it would make accounting easier at the end of the year - what is taxable for you personally and what is not per the estate

1:15 pm

JBV

thanks, everybody - I will let you know when I finally find the answer!

1:18 pm

PAV3

and I am off to the CU to deposit a check...bbl

1:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

jbv we just set up such an account in nj

1:18 pm

Sorry to interrupt. Just a quick question, please. What happened to Babblers Anonymous?

1:22 pm

wildcat17

1:22 pm

gramma

What does that mean?

1:23 pm

Angela

first the wind...now apparently the snow is here...crazy day!

1:23 pm

wildcat17

apparently they bought the server/app it was running from. you have to join yuku (for free) and then you can get to babblers anonymous and a billion other things

1:23 pm

Oh, ty.

Pork chops in the crock pot with onion soup, chopped carrots, chopped celery, sage, parsley and black pepper makes your place smell very, very good.

1:45 pm

ChampFit

Oooh...sounds yummy.

1:46 pm

JBV

I have never used a crock pot - and no I do not live under a rock -

1:47 pm

ChampFit

LOVE the crock pot! Feel like I'm cheating, but so be it!

1:48 pm

I can see the advantages - but now that I'm retired, I don't really have the need

If you have a busy day running errands or something, it's nice to put it all in the crock before you leave, then have it ready when you get home.

I don't put chicken in the crock pot. Chicken is tender and doesn't need slow cooking to tenderize it. I use the crock pot for tougher cuts of beef and pork.

my hubby jokiingly said, maybe it's an ancient chamber pot :-)

3:37 pm

cosdem

ah nice catch mark!

3:37 pm

Soodle

Sue, have you come across Rubyfoo on Babble? Her husband was in hospital, and in her words, she 'sprung' him. He is doing well since he came home. I hope the same goes for your Dad!

3:38 pm

Mark Jones

Thanks cos! Anyway, i must leave. I have a scrapbook to make!

3:38 pm

uusue2

Hi, soodle! Yes, Ruby and I have chatted (she lives in a part of France of which I am quite fond). Thanks for thinking of me!

3:38 pm

Soodle

Bye Mark :-)

3:38 pm

Krista

I'm almost certain it's Slavic language, but there are so many. I emailed Belarussian and Ukrainian friends to see if they recognize which one it is.

3:38 pm

dianedecoder

I'm leaning more to something related to burial, or ashes, or a warming pot of sorts. ( the first "slow cooker" ??? )

3:39 pm

dianedecoder

awww thanks Krista.... this is getting interesting !

3:40 pm

Krista

Sure, this is fun. I have all kinds of nerd fun, lol.

3:40 pm

dianedecoder

It would be awesome if this artifact was worth something !!!!... this friend is wheel chair bound and life has been tough for her at times.

3:41 pm

Krista

That would be wonderful for her.

3:41 pm

dianedecoder

I've never met her, but she is a favourite of us all in other chat rooms we've been together.

3:43 pm

Krista

Funny how our virtual friends are so very real to us. I count so many Babblers as true friends.

3:43 pm

Soodle

I think we need Indiana Jones on the case of the Artifact. He would know!!!

3:44 pm

Soodle

(Humming theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark as I type).....

3:45 pm

Krista

I think it's a priest's lunchbox. :)

3:46 pm

dianedecoder

LOL..... Crossy thought a wig container, but I think it's only about 8 or 9 inches high.... ( just waiting to hear from my friend )

3:46 pm

frogface

just walked in mid conversation - a priests lunchbox?

3:46 pm

Krista

brb...son needs a cuppa

3:47 pm

dianedecoder

Maybe it contained the fishes and the bread that fed thousands ! The symbols have some relationship to that, or at least to religion.

3:47 pm

MollyL

I can't believe something that ornate, with obvious religious symbols on it, would be a wig container.

3:47 pm

Soodle

What is it made out of, Diane? Is it pewter, or some other metal?

3:48 pm

dianedecoder

too small too...

3:48 pm

MollyL

Does it have holes in the top? Could it have been an incense burner for Mass?

3:48 pm

dianedecoder

It is a metal, and the craftmanship looks rather rough....hand hewed for certain

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

*singing Happy Birthday to Diane*

3:49 pm

dianedecoder

doesn't appear to have holes. .... I've never seen it,... just the pictures

3:49 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting it doesn't belong to you.

3:49 pm

dianedecoder

that is so nice Jillyjill.... but birthday was last May.... :-))) I'm not quite ready for another one !

3:49 pm

Soodle

'Raiders of the Lost Ark' theme tune reaches a crescendo in Soodles head..............

3:51 pm

dianedecoder

This has been the most response I've had from anyone, regarding the artifact. I just knew that there would be a Babble friend or two, who would know something. I've even thought of sending a picture to a museum curator, but where ??

3:54 pm

ivesy3

I thought it was a censer at first, too, but don't see any holes.

3:59 pm

Krista

Just told my daughter about your girl's meet/greet prize with Taylor Swift. She is very impressed, SB!

3:59 pm

4:01 pm

cosdem

maybe it was the carrier for the holy grail? :)

4:01 pm

Soodle

Yikes, Ivesey - More snow? This sure has been one tough winter. I think (dare I say it?) Spring has arrived here. The daffodils are just about to bloom, and today was ... (in Irish speak) A grand soft day!

4:02 pm

cosdem

it's 60 here but i'm afraid it'll be like snowing again next week.. like it always does a week after high temps

4:03 pm

dianedecoder

4:06 pm

i need some nice warm weather, with sun. getting the winter blues

4:07 pm

dianedecoder

4:07 pm

Soodle

Its been the coldest winter since records began here in Ireland. Temperatures dropped to an all time low in December/January. Roll on the Spring, I say!

4:09 pm

MollyL

Daffodils are poking up here. We have been spared this winter, not much snow. We had our winter from hell last year. I'm ready for warm air and planting.

4:12 pm

Krista

Diane, if you're comfortable with it, will you please email me a way to get in touch with you? Email, Facebook, etc.?

River I love the new kids movies how they have more adult references. Like Madagascar

4:48 pm

Riverdance

they always have but kids dont see them.....but us newer age parents watch them unlike my folks so we catch the references. Hard to explain when the kids ask why we are laughing at certain parts....we laugh harder

4:49 pm

herinfernallady

O Yes River. My cousin was trying to figure out why I was laughing.

4:49 pm

Hi Inge

4:51 pm

Soodle

The Shrek movies seem to have more for the adults than the kids...loads of double entendres and wink wink nudge nudge comments.

4:51 pm

MollyL

Soodle, any reason you know of that Tullamore Dew has doubled in price over here all of a sudden?

4:52 pm

herinfernallady

O gosh Shrek is so funny.

4:52 pm

Riverdance

Shrek is the best - get the first one

4:52 pm

MollyL

I love the Shrek movies.

4:53 pm

Riverdance

I also love Ice Age even though there isnt as much adult stuff in it

4:53 pm

Riverdance

same with Monsters Inc

4:53 pm

Soodle

Sheesh, Moll....I have no idea, but I would guess its (somehow) recession related....

4:54 pm

Riverdance

Supper is ready so must go...have fun kiddies...bbl

4:54 pm

Soodle

My absolute favourite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast... Angela Lansbury is magical as Mrs Potts!

4:54 pm

MollyL

I don't know, Jemmy and Bushmills are about the same. Tullamore Dew is my choice, but not when it's ten dollars a bottle more than the other two.

4:55 pm

I haven't seen Beauty and teh beast in ages

4:56 pm

herinfernallady

We have a library.

4:57 pm

Soodle

Molly - avert your eyes - I don't drink whiskey! I have no idea how much the stuff costs. But, on your behalf, I will go on a fact finding mission tomorrow, and will report back to you, OK?

4:58 pm

MollyL

**THUD**

4:58 pm

Soodle

..............sorry..............

4:59 pm

herinfernallady

Molly. What do you need to know about the whiskey

5:00 pm

herinfernallady

Glenfiddich is good

5:00 pm

MollyL

Hey Herin. I was just wondering why the price of one certain brand of Irish whiskey here has doubled. I wondered if there were labor issues or something in Ireland.

5:01 pm

herinfernallady

No idea. Maybe taxes and all that stuff

5:02 pm

Soodle

I havent heard of any labour related issues Moll, but, I guess they will blame it on the recession. Everything here is recession related!

5:03 pm

MollyL

*Wonders when Soodle entered the convent and why I didn't get the memo*

5:03 pm

herinfernallady

Soodle I heard that there is massive issues with horses needing new homes because no one can afford them

5:05 pm

Soodle

Herin.... this country is in meltdown! 4 years ago, we were awash with money. All of a sudden, BANG - we are broke. Its bewldering.

The nun I had in 8th grade was the best. Full on nun regalia from the 1940's. Handkerchiefs up her sleeve, rosary beads around her waste. And she insisted on calling everyone by their given name. Jimmy was James. Bobby was Robert and Molly was Marie.

5:14 pm

MollyL

Night Soodle, sweet dreams.

5:15 pm

MollyL

Soodle, if they can levitate (The Blues Brothers) they can bi-locate.

5:19 pm

Soodle

ROFL Moll - Levitation of nuns round these here parts usually was as a result of the application of footwear to the nether regions of nuns... (otherwise known as a kick in the a*se)...

5:21 pm

herinfernallady

My friend has worked out the best way to get me to call right back

5:21 pm

Soodle

Whats that, Herin?

5:22 pm

Ok so he left me a normal message followed by a O MY GOD WHAT IS THAT. very convincing

5:23 pm

herinfernallady

He really is a ratbag

5:23 pm

He he! And of course, you are going to call him back! Very clever!

uusue2

6:00 pm

uusue2

OK, going to do a little online tutoring...

6:02 pm

cybernan

6:11 pm

uusue2

6:23 pm

cybernan

nm -- found it

6:24 pm

cybernan

pl 6/24, please?

6:25 pm

uusue2

pl6/24 is pl, 3 vowels, and a 2-point letter

6:26 pm

kje

like the pl5/14, but stick with a additional vowel in the middle

6:26 pm

cybernan

ty sue and kje

6:26 pm

uusue2

The plural of the pl6/24 is a star cluster that looks kind of like a very tiny "dipper".

6:27 pm

uusue2

trivia (repeated from earlier): the Japanese name for that star cluster is "Subaru"; a stylized version of it is on the front of the cars.

6:27 pm

Nef

Hi again. My grandson is back home (or at least on his way); so I can work on the grid again. 41 down; 92 to go; I hope it isn't too difficult to finish!

6:44 pm

uusue2

hi, nef! It gets pretty tricky towards the end but there are a lot of hints in the chog :-)

6:45 pm

Aloyisius

lol, hi all, joining the fray

6:45 pm

Nef

Thanks, uusue. How's your Dad doing?

6:45 pm

Nef

hi Aloy!

6:46 pm

uusue2

He's doing really well, thanks! He's coming home on Tuesday and can hardly wait.

6:46 pm

uusue2

Hi, Aloy!

6:46 pm

Nef

Do you think you will have trouble caring for him, uusue?

6:47 pm

uusue2

No, I don't think so. He doesn't need help with much at this point (maybe a little with dressing).

6:47 pm

Aloyisius

ooh boy, had to refresh, seems I joined a morning chat! didn't realize the chat leaves off where you left it

6:47 pm

uusue2

We'll have to figure out how to get him in and out of the shower but I am sure that is doable.

6:48 pm

uusue2

lol, aloy - I've noticed that too!

6:48 pm

Nef

there was a fray this AM? What was going on?

6:49 pm

Aloyisius

so glad your dad is coming home.. just some fast and furious chat, Nef.. need to pay attention to the "time" from now on.. anyway, glad to be with you all

6:49 pm

Nef

uusue, he should be able to get a home health aide to come and help with that a couple of times a week til he's stronger

6:50 pm

cybernan

bbl -- called away

6:50 pm

uusue2

Well, I'll be here for two more weeks, so that should cover most of it. We're meeting with the social worker at the rehab center on Monday so will find out what is available at that time. I think they're planning to have physical therapists come, anyway.

6:51 pm

uusue2

If he still can't drive by the time I leave, we'll need to make some arrangements, but he has quite a few friends in the area as well.

6:51 pm

Nef

ask for an Occupational Therapist to visit the home too. They are very helpful in finding ways to modify or change how things are done so he can be more independent

6:52 pm

Aloyisius

excellent suggestion, Nef

6:52 pm

uusue2

yes, I wasn't sure what they were called, thanks! We'll probably need that to help with the transition.

6:52 pm

uusue2

He really is remarkably strong (and stubborn!!!)

6:52 pm

Aloyisius

my son is an O.T.

6:53 pm

uusue2

nice, aloy!

6:53 pm

Nef

DH had a physical therapist, speech therapist and occupational therapist at different times and for specific problems this past summer. Plus the visiting nurse and the home health aide

6:54 pm

Aloyisius

yes.. he had two degrees in international business and finance, was a market funds analyst, hated it.. went back to school, loves working with people.. am proud of him

6:54 pm

uusue2

good for him, aloy! and thanks for the info, nef! By Monday or Tuesday I may have more questions :-)

6:55 pm

Nef

Each of the therapistshave very different things they do. Aloy, you must be very proud of him; especially since he's found his nitch!

6:56 pm

Aloyisius

had no idea how broad the OT field is.. so many choices! for now he is specializing in neurology, working with children who have brain injuries

6:56 pm

uusue2

oh, aloy, that must be intense! I would have trouble working with children...

6:57 pm

Aloyisius

me too.. used to do some work with severely impaired children, became depressed. Most of them were born "normal".. accidents, etc.. so sad

6:58 pm

Aloyisius

oh yum, Reuben sandwiches for supper (hubby cooked tonight)

6:59 pm

uusue2

sounds good, aloy!

6:59 pm

Nef

Aloy, my DH has M.S. and that's why he needed the intensive therapy. Everything went to hell this summer with relapses. A year ago his Au4/5 fell and broke both wrists and lived with us for 4 months while she recovered. She had an O.T. and her therapy was very different from anything they gave DH to do

7:00 pm

inge

coar sen

7:01 pm

Aloyisius

Nef, you have had it tuff.. wow.. hope both are doing much better now?

7:02 pm

uusue2

Yes, nef, I saw your DH's story in your profile - hope he continues to do well!

7:04 pm

Nef

they are, Aloy. I happen to love his au**; she's never married and helped raise him; so that wasn't hard at all having her live with us. I'd really like her to move in with us; but she's too independent. DH was told this summer that his "new normal" would be a wheel chair; but he's back to using a ca** and "wall-walking" (using the walls for balance when necessary in the house).

7:06 pm

Aloyisius

good to hear, Nef. cybercheers of support for them .. and kudos to you for all the help you gave them (-:

7:08 pm

Nef

thanks, Aloy. I did what I could for people I love. You'd do the same; just as uusue is doing for her Dad

7:11 pm

Aloyisius

whoopsie doopsie, just "qualified" to hit the list.. ty to volleymomdee, saw no Lickety

7:12 pm

uusue2

lickety's been up all day, aloy...

7:12 pm

Nef

no Lickety? I'll have to *work* harder then when I list

7:12 pm

Aloyisius

brb, think this calls for a glass of Chenin blanc

7:12 pm

Aloyisius

h'mm.. maybe I'll try to access it again, ty uusue

7:12 pm

uusue2

Yes, lickety's up - I just checked again (couldn't have finished without him!)

7:12 pm

Nef

Whew! I hope you're right, uusue!

7:13 pm

Aloyisius

going to log off and get back on.. dee's list is 170.. nope, not even the same grid.. am discombobulated.. pre-wine! brb

7:16 pm

Nef

Aloy, I just peaked and Lickety is up and current for me too (I won't use it yet; too early for me to do so)

7:19 pm

Aloyisius

ok.. back and all is well. ty, Nef.

7:19 pm

Aloyisius

now to see what fishies I missed

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

hello all.

7:26 pm

Nef

hi red! How are you?

7:27 pm

Nef

Aloy, did you miss any big fish?

7:27 pm

redturtlehead

I'm Ok. I am irritated as I was stung by an inknown creature this evening and I can not get the stinger thing out of my finger.

7:27 pm

redturtlehead

but I am an adult, and I think I shall live.

7:27 pm

Aloyisius

h'mm, just found an8, not so fishy!

7:28 pm

Nef

did you try the credit card trick? where you use the edge of the credit card to slide the stinger out?

7:28 pm

Aloyisius

and no s's in this grid, so no worry about overlooking a plural, lol

7:28 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhhh, no I went for actual alligator clamp Nef.

7:29 pm

Aloyisius

ouch, red..

7:29 pm

Nef

and you still didn't get itout? Geez, what stung you?

7:29 pm

redturtlehead

it is better now, I am just still irritated. today was grouchy day. but I am really about to go to bed, wanted to say hi and complain.

7:29 pm

redturtlehead

How are all of your lovely babblers?

7:30 pm

Aloyisius

grouch away, red ! .. and tomorrow will be a better day, I'm sure

7:30 pm

Nef

I'm fine, red. We had our grandson overnight; but he's gone again

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

:) Aloy and Nef are you participating in the Great Backyard Birdwatch?

7:31 pm

Aloyisius

remember that black stinky ointment we used to put on boils to draw out all the yucky? ichthymol, something like that.. wonder if it would work on a stinger

7:31 pm

redturtlehead

grandson overnight must be challenging at times...

7:31 pm

Nef

I didn't know about it, red. What is it?

7:32 pm

Aloyisius

yes, red.. I hope to do just that (-:

7:32 pm

Aloyisius

saw a bald eagle today

7:32 pm

Nef

in your yard?!!??!

7:32 pm

Aloyisius

no, I saw two bald eagles today

7:33 pm

Aloyisius

we have a cell tower at the end of the road that goes by our place; eagles have nested in it the past three years, yay.. one was perched as I went by this morning on my way to a meeting.. saw the other fly over just south of Ft. Pierce on my way to Lakeland

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

google the Great Backyard Birdwatch. you just birdwatch for 15 mins this week and record which birds you see. then they tally it up. there are some free giveaways and photo contests. My Mom is cleaning up though. her cardinal was on the front page and her sparrow was featured in "which sparrow: is it.

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

Aloy, you are eerily close to me!

7:34 pm

Aloyisius

just today, red.. usually am in the Punta Gorda area

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhhh. Well welcome to Central Florida.

7:35 pm

Aloyisius

funny thing happened.. hubby programmed Garmin, so my trip there was perfect.. but on the way home, it tried to send me back to Ohio when I punched "home".. lol.. was lost for quite a while

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

And with that, I must get on with sleep. as I must go back to work!

7:35 pm

Nef

red, our grandson is 21 months and he can be very busy. Luckily, our house is a rambler stye and he can run ar6/24 in circles from the kitchen to dining room to living room, etc. and when he gets too busy, we have him chase the dog ar 6/24 with him.

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

good night all! And the dog is a good idea nef!!!!

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Aloy! that is terrible!!!!!!! going to Ohio!!!!

7:36 pm

Aloyisius

lol, that should help him run off some steam, Nef.. nite, red.. sweet dreams

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

And now I really have got to go!!!

7:37 pm

Nef

niters red!

7:40 pm

7:40 pm

stidmama

hey all! I am taking FIVE MINUTES (while I am actually making progress on the paper, I can tell I am not breathing, so I need a break).

7:42 pm

Aloyisius

yay, stid.. glad to see you.. good luck on that paper

7:42 pm

Nef

We just had to cut down our 40 foot red maple tree about 2 weeks ago. It must have been hit by lightening in our first bad winter storm; the whole top was losing bark and rotted. Our house was just 20 feet from the tree in 2 directions. I hated to lose it; and we aren't getting many birds right now

7:42 pm

Nef

Hi stid. (I forgot to enter my previous post)

7:42 pm

stidmama

thanks aloyisius ((hugs)) good to see you!

7:43 pm

stidmama

oh how sad, Nef. I love my bigleaf maples in the backyard.

7:43 pm

Aloyisius

rats.. red maples are so pretty, RIP, red maple

7:44 pm

Aloyisius

well, I missed the pl of the prickly desert plant, sigh

7:44 pm

stidmama

thanks for that one aloyisius!

7:44 pm

rururocks

heads over to Nef's house for syrup

7:45 pm

Aloyisius

(-: my pleasure, stid

7:45 pm

Nef

I hadn't even known it was damaged til our tree guy came around. It would have hit the house for sure in a high wind

7:45 pm

Aloyisius

ruru.. howdy

7:45 pm

uusue2

hi, stid!

7:45 pm

Nef

ruru, syrup is from sugar maples, not red ones

7:45 pm

rururocks

hiya aloy

7:45 pm

uusue2

and very sad about the tree, nef!

7:45 pm

rururocks

damn

7:45 pm

stidmama

hey sue! I caught just a glimpse earlier of why you had to go back to your dad's place... hope all is going well?

7:45 pm

stidmama

hey rru!

7:46 pm

rururocks

heysssstid

7:46 pm

uusue2

yes, stid, he's doing really well and will be coming home Tuesday.

7:46 pm

stidmama

I think you could technically make syrup ruru, but I suspect you would do a LOT of work for very little return with red maples.

7:46 pm

stidmama

the sap of the bigleaf maples is sweet, but doesn't flow very fast ever.

7:46 pm

Nef

we had a sugar maple that was hit by lightening years ago. My kids still talkabout going out and "sucking the sap" in the spring! :-)

7:47 pm

stidmama

I am so pleased, sue! I bet he is happy about that. People like to be "home"

7:47 pm

uusue2

So I will be here for about 10 days after he gets home, which should help a lot with the transition. (Can't help as much with the psychological aftereffects of his wife leaving, of course!)

7:47 pm

rururocks

not going to touch that one nef..lol

7:47 pm

Aloyisius

we made syrup from our maples in Ohio.. peeled the kitchen wallpaper.. the following year, we changed venues, lol

7:47 pm

uusue2

oh, stid, you have no idea! He hates it in that place and is SO looking forward to coming home!

7:47 pm

stidmama

no, but hopefully he will have enough support from friends and neighbors?

7:48 pm

uusue2

yes, he has lots of friends in the area

7:48 pm

stidmama

LOL that much humidity, nef?

7:48 pm

Nef

did I say something off-color? My kids would actually go out and cut the small twigs and suck on them

7:49 pm

Aloyisius

.. with three kids, I got distracted as it boiled down.. black smoke did a number on the lace curtains too.. oh what fun, making homemade maple syrup

7:49 pm

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

yes, crossy. had, uhm... 3 cats not eating/listless, 2 dogs same, 1 dog with chronic pyometra (very long story, not good), 1 dog acutely not using back legs

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

today

9:28 pm

Nef

doing fine; but supposedly we are going to have 7-12 inches of snow again tonight. (I'm very tired of snow now)

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

so far

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

Me too..snowing now *blowing hard to send storm south*

9:29 pm

crosshair

i do not like the sound of the dog not using his back legs...

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

Sure TO..fire away

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

plus the regularly scheduled appointments, which were mostly vaccines. oh, right, there was the dog that hurt her leg too.

9:30 pm

9:32 pm

jesdraggon

the chronic pyometra ended up being a euthanasia already. we'll see how the paralyzed dog goes; with any luck she'll feel better by the end of the weekend, since the owner did NOT eff around, got her in to the clinic within half an hour of the incident

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

again, just returning the favor

9:33 pm

Nef

that's tough, jes.

9:34 pm

crosshair

jess ,i do not envy you..though here every time you go to a vet it is at LEAST $400.per visit minimum:((

9:34 pm

jesdraggon

good news is we made enough money today to buy a new washing machine to replace the 2 that are broken...

9:34 pm

jesdraggon

sigh.

9:35 pm

crosshair

that is one big carumba of a bill for an x-ray and blood work

9:35 pm

9:36 pm

crosshair

here it is crazy..250 just to cremate a pat

9:37 pm

crosshair

and low ph food for cats..almost 2 dollars a tin

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

depends on the size of the dog, crossy. private cremation runs $140-$300 here.

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

though group cremation (no ashes returned) is only about $50.

9:37 pm

crosshair

sorryn to rant..i shall stop

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

can't blame the vet for the cost of the cat food, we pay out the ear for that stuff, and the company keeps raising the cost on us.

9:38 pm

Jillyjill

sorry, back now. Our youngest just called.

9:38 pm

jesdraggon

call Hill's/Science Diet and tell them to stop jacking prices up. we keep telling them, but no luck.

9:39 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry jes...sure know about that...have had several on kidney science diet and one on the diabetic diet.

9:40 pm

jesdraggon

I'd be happy to charge less for food, but kinda stuck on that.

9:40 pm

Nef

I love Science Diet for my pets.. My sister told me to use it and it's made all of the difference in our dogs and cats. But it is expensive

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

Whoops...brb

9:41 pm

jesdraggon

you could drive down here instead of going locally, Crossy. Sounds like we charge less...though not sure that's gonna be a win for you with travel time and all...

9:42 pm

Nef

not finding many words now; 55 left but I'll have to list

9:43 pm

crosshair

lol,jess,i would spend 2 days and 300 dollars in gas

9:43 pm

jesdraggon

but we'd only charge $200 for blood and rads! :D

9:44 pm

crosshair

gas here now is $1.15 per litre or $4.60 per gallon

9:44 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone, just a quick pop in to see how everyone is doing

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

hey dawg :)

9:44 pm

lbdawger

hi jes

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

ouch. you should buy gas while you're down here too then.

9:44 pm

Nef

hi lbd

9:44 pm

lbdawger

hi nef

9:44 pm

crosshair

just bitching about gasoline and how much vets charge lbd;)

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

it's only $3.20/gallon

9:45 pm

lbdawger

i'd rather go to a vet than a human doc. way less in charges

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, but you need all kinds of special licenses to work on primates, dawg :P

9:46 pm

crosshair

just med me like a horse jes..bring on that pcp!! lol

9:47 pm

lbdawger

lol, jes, but i know some real jackasses that should get a break!

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

right... i know just enough human med to know that the most common sedatives we use in horses give humans death.

9:48 pm

lbdawger

my min pin and i had to take predisone, his cost me 1/4th the cost of mine, and they were the same pills!

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

pred should be dirt cheap, dawg.

9:48 pm

crosshair

mm,ill shall pass on death and the shoulder glove up my poop chute..;/

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

though there are some other steroids that have fewer side effects and (of course) cost 5-10 times as much

9:49 pm

crosshair

and on that note it is beddy bye time for crossy

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

niters crossy!

9:49 pm

crosshair

tc all and happy babbling

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

nah. i don't do rectal exams on non-livestock very often, crossy.

9:49 pm

crosshair

poof!

9:49 pm

lbdawger

it wasn't that expensive, just thought it odd, that his was cheaper than mine.

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, crossy. well-wishes to the missus and kitties.

9:49 pm

Nef

nite nite crossy!

9:49 pm

lbdawger

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

might have been name brand vs generic?

9:49 pm

crosshair

ty jess..super poof!...

9:50 pm

Nef

prednisone is cheap, lbd.

9:50 pm

lbdawger

nope, both generic, got them from the same pharmacy too.

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

well that's just weird then. i have no explanation.

9:50 pm

Nef

*Someone* was making money then!

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

usually it's the other way 'round, as they are supposed to charge tax (at least in WA) on animal meds but not human.

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

Don't get me started on our pharmacuetical companies!

9:51 pm

lbdawger

the pharmacist said it was insurance, i said then just fill it for the dog and we'll share! lol

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

huh. nice to know your insurance co is jacking prices up.

9:52 pm

lbdawger

yeah, don't have either now, the dog or the insurance!

9:52 pm

Jillyjill

My other soapbox..insurance companies!

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

no more dog? :(

9:53 pm

Nef

right now I'm really P.O.'d at insurance companies that I could just Spit!

9:53 pm

lbdawger

i'm with you there, jilly

9:53 pm

lbdawger

had to put him to sleep almost 12 years now. i still miss the little brat

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

Those of us in the medical field know the system is BROKEN!!

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

sadness

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

((dawg))

9:54 pm

lbdawger

i think the only ones who don't think it's broken are the politicians and the insurance companies, jilly

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

so very true

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

oh, nad the pharmacuetical companies

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

oh, i'm sure they know it's broken, they just don't care because it's broken in the ins co's favor

9:55 pm

Jillyjill

*and

9:55 pm

Jillyjill

funny how we all know what the problem is...but no one listening!

9:55 pm

lbdawger

that was a tough year, had to euthanize the poopster and then 6 months later, my mom died. but ya know, we all survive a little stronger if not a little sadder.

9:56 pm

lbdawger

that's cus they have us over the barrel. what are we going to do without insurance or the pharm companies?

9:56 pm

Nef

insurance companies have been making money hand over fist for the past 10 years by denying care to the insured. I'm so tired of them being "gate keepers" and saying that we can't have care

9:56 pm

Jillyjill

We had to put both our cat and dog down a year ago...it's really rough

9:57 pm

lbdawger

yup

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

had a client in about a month ago on emergency and had to euthanize her cat. they'd just gotten home from a memorial for her cousin, and his mom had died like 3 days prior. she had a total break down in the office. :(

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

sucks when things go in waves likes that.

9:58 pm

Jillyjill

so much sadness

9:58 pm

lbdawger

i think the politicians in DC need to take a cut in pay, that certainly would lower some of the deficit, then they can pay for their own healthcare too

9:58 pm

Nef

it really does suck. But it really seems like things DO happen in threes

9:58 pm

Jillyjill

I'd like their healthcare plan!

9:59 pm

lbdawger

geez, i bet the woman wanted you to euthanize her while you were at it. so much pain for her.

9:59 pm

gapeach

te6-21 please....thanks

9:59 pm

lbdawger

talk about socialize medicine. We pay for their medical care at the BEST medical facilities!

10:00 pm

lbdawger

10:00 pm

Jillyjill

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

10:01 pm

Nef

well, my sister in MT wrote to Seator Baucus and told him to take a pay cut and get rid of the special insurance and he responded by saying that they hadn't had a COLA raise or any raise on pay or benies for 2 years.

10:01 pm

lbdawger

bull pucky! that's the first thing they vote on each september!

10:01 pm

Jillyjill

Baucus is a waste!

10:02 pm

jesdraggon

I looked up the pay rates for the state folks here a bit ago, and was surprised by how low most of them were, actually.

10:02 pm

jesdraggon

i was expecting to be outraged, and just couldn't.

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

They're doing better than I am...retirement for life??!!

10:03 pm

lbdawger

our state legislature only meets biannually, for 90 days. should they be paid a monthly salary and insurance for the full two years?

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; it didn't list benes, just base salary. but the salaries were not outrageous

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Where does your sister live Nef?

10:04 pm

lbdawger

well, enough of the spleen venting, i must head for my pillows. see you all tomorrow. good luck with the grid!

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, dawg. and let me know when you need a new dog, i'll hook you up :)

10:05 pm

Nef

we had a foster daughter about 10 years ago; friend of our dtr's who needed a "safe" home away from both parents who'd had a bitter divorce.... ANYWAY; she now works for the state of MN and her job was going to be cut; but they offered her a $4/hr cut in pay and no benefits. She took their offer (because she loves her job; plus is making headway in the job.

10:05 pm

Jillyjill
