1:42 am
Uneaixoise
we have 13yr cicadas and 17yr cicadas -- they lurk underground all those years, then come out, shed their scaly cocoon, mate and lay eggs, then go back down in the ground . . . my yard looks like someone's been poking pencils in the dirt

Are we all still here?
3:47 am
rubyfoo
hello kazzer and ursh. So that means no shopping spree today? Has anybody taken a census?
3:49 am
ursh
lol ruby - my 90yr old Mum lives with me - very staunch catholic - I actualy dreamt that when I got up she was gone - was quite relieved to hear her in the kitchen at 6am
3:50 am
rubyfoo
I don't think the Rapture was particularly Catholic. Wasn't it more for Evangelical Protestants?
3:50 am
rubyfoo
BTW, you are so lucky to have your mum with you! I miss mine every day
3:52 am
ursh
oh I gathered just for really good "christians" and I am lucky Mum still with us - very active - still drives and cooks - she feeds the animals twice a day and also feeds our gardener when he is here
3:52 am
rubyfoo
that is wonderful! amazing that she still drives but I hope you live in the country.....
3:53 am
Jivingjenny0
good morning everyone - just back for a few minutes any clues for the 9s would be gratefully received
3:54 am
ursh
she only drives very locally and only in bright daylight - small automatic car - passed eye test last week - quite amazing
3:54 am
ursh
jenny i believe one is ou9 and one is se9 - but i dont have them
3:55 am
rubyfoo
9's, 8's, didn't even see there were any! and now I'm running out of time
3:55 am
Jivingjenny0
thanks ursh - it's a help.
3:56 am
Jivingjenny0
I am too ruby as I am expecting visitors in about 5 mins
3:56 am
Jivingjenny0
outed
3:56 am
rubyfoo
I'm ONLY (hahah) 68 and I don't drive at night any more
3:56 am
Jivingjenny0
sorry
3:57 am
rubyfoo
unless I'm (hysterically) looking for a lost dog
3:57 am
ursh
Ruby i am ONLY 60 and failed eye test for night driving - need glasses now - to be honest I am not comfortable driving at night anyway
3:57 am
rubyfoo
aaah, 60, I remember it well!
3:59 am
rubyfoo
my husband is much older and he still drives which is very scary. I won't go any distance with him now, just go locally except if absolutely necessary
4:00 am
Kazzer99
9s - ou9 argue better than someone else (argue as in group discussion), se9 - could describe a bird
4:00 am
rubyfoo
and I have to go join him for his apero as he is already angry with me this morning!
4:00 am
Kazzer99
or a vegetarian
4:00 am
rubyfoo
whoops, sorry
4:01 am
Kazzer99
naughty ruby - have a snack in the pb
4:01 am
rubyfoo

Glantarell

4:53 am
Glantarell

4:53 am
Kazzer99
thats it fireworks for me - might have to go and do some housework now!
4:53 am
lynxxx
Congrats Kazz!
4:54 am
Glantarell
well done kazzer - bad news about the housework!
4:54 am
Kazzer99
anyone want a clue
4:54 am
Kazzer99
yes - trouble is it never goes away just gets worse so i will have to do some today before hubby has a hissy fit again
4:54 am
Glantarell
first one
4:55 am
Kazzer99
sh - female plus he was an old has ****
4:55 am
Glantarell
tell him dust isn't a fire hazard until it gets to a quarter inch thick!
4:56 am
lynxxx
nice - TY Kazz
4:56 am
Glantarell
TY Kazz
4:56 am
Kazzer99
its not the dust - its the dishes - i hate dishes and so does he so we live with enough to get by and eventually one of us gives in
4:57 am
Kazzer99
its usually me cos the reproachful doe eyes get me every time
4:57 am
Glantarell
buy a dishwasher - although that just moves the discussion to whose job it is to stack/empty it
4:57 am
Glantarell
or invent a rule that is that whoever cooks doesn;t wash up
4:57 am
Kazzer99
well i have managed to blow up 4 in the last 7 years so we are not getting another one
4:58 am
lynxxx
how on earth do you blow up a dishwasher?
4:58 am
Kazzer99
oh that would be good - i'd never do the washing up
4:58 am
Glantarell
oooer, what do you do to them????
4:59 am
Kazzer99
i dont know but they live in the garage and i am wondering if little visitors chew through vital shielding in the wiring
5:00 am
Glantarell
that's a possibility
5:00 am
lynxxx
probably - in one house I had rats chewed through the wiring (I am near the beach so always rats around - ugh!)
5:01 am
Kazzer99
well lynn - all you need is dodgy electrics and tempremental dishwashers and then you have to duck as the plug flies out the wall and tries to brain you
5:01 am
lynxxx
(the wiring of a dishwasher that is)
5:01 am
lynxxx
My dishwasher died about 4 months ago - I didn't think I would mind washing dishes for 6 months - but I am sick to death of it!
5:03 am
Kazzer99
naughty words about the weather as well today - it keeps raining on my clothes - i need them to get dry today. i know where you are coming from lynn - that was the initial reason we got a dishwasher but i think i will have to wait till i can afford to remodel the kitchen and then i will have one in the house
5:03 am
Glantarell
yes, we keep havinh heavy showrs so my washing is on the airer
5:03 am
Kazzer99
but must go - will see you all tomorrow
5:03 am
Glantarell
bye kazzer
5:04 am
Kazzer99

Hi Movieman!

LOL...my phantom from the other day is in this grid! DE 8/45!
7:06 am
movieman
So, did ANYONE actually believe that prediction about Judgment Day yesterday?
7:06 am
car.eeyore
No, but before it happened, I did say a few extra prayers...and did not make fun until after it was over.
7:07 am
movieman
I certainly didn't......
7:07 am
movieman
And anyway, Judgment Day was supposed to be on August 29, 1997 (according to the Terminator films)....
7:08 am
car.eeyore
Let's not forget 12/21/12!
7:09 am
Anniebrook
I have not kept up with Judgment Days...are we going to have another in 2012?
7:09 am
car.eeyore
No, that is the end of the world.
7:10 am
car.eeyore
technically, it is the end of calendars for many ancient civilizations, such as the Mayans. The calendars just stop on that day.
7:10 am
Anniebrook
Another EOTW? Funny that it coincides with the US Election year? Or is that the idea?
7:11 am
car.eeyore
They have been researching this one on the history channel for years.
7:11 am
Anniebrook
and right before Christmas, too.
7:12 am
car.eeyore
I bet that year there will be a LOT of last minute shoppers! People will wait to see if it happens and then go get gifts!
7:13 am
Anniebrook
LOL, It would not surprise me.
7:13 am
movieman
I really didn't think that the End of the World would happen before the end of the football season
7:14 am
Anniebrook
MM, valid point
7:14 am
car.eeyore
The big joke around this area was that it must be true if the Red Sox were playing the Cubs AND the Bruins were in the playoffs!

I'd like to know how all the people who took leave from their jobs (and how in the hell do you get leave for THAT) and shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars feel.
7:15 am
Anniebrook

If it truly was the rapture, they should have been home praying.

7:25 am
rubyfoo
husband wouldn't go, but it was very nice
7:26 am
rubyfoo
I'm still out of breath from walking home, all uphill!
7:27 am

Sounds like fun! And good for you for walking!
7:28 am

I am in such bad shape, used to be able to dance all night!

Vous pouvez revenir rock and roll baby oublie jamais

rubyfoo
{{molly}}
7:34 am
MollyL
My French is mostly the bastardized version, but you get my drift
7:35 am
rubyfoo
yup. Unfortunately, I have picked up the local (bad) accent. They say "a revoir"
7:35 am
rubyfoo
and no one, even on TV, used ne in negative sentences.
7:36 am
MollyL
I think it's almost impossible not to assimilate to the language of your area.
7:36 am
rubyfoo
they say "je ...vais pas" for example, just a little pause
7:36 am
rubyfoo
happily, they understand me and I, them
7:36 am
rubyfoo
this was the 50th birthday party for the wife of the little Italian resto in the village
7:36 am
rubyfoo
sweet people
7:37 am
MollyL
How nice they threw a party for her
7:37 am
car.eeyore
It really does sound like a nice time!
7:37 am
rubyfoo
and that I was invited!
7:37 am
rubyfoo
it's too bad that my husband is so shy
7:37 am
MollyL
I like people who know how to celebrate well
7:38 am
Soodle
Hello everybody :-)
7:38 am
rubyfoo
there was an overwhelming amount of food, none of which I ate.
7:38 am
car.eeyore
Hi Soodle!
7:38 am
rubyfoo
all kinds of Sicilian dishes
7:38 am
Anniebrook
Hi Soodle
7:38 am
MollyL
Morning Soodle. Ruby, why didn't you eat?
7:38 am
rubyfoo
{{soodle}} I owe you a letter, bad Nellie
7:39 am
rubyfoo
I'm not sure but I usually don't eat at parties
7:39 am
car.eeyore
<----- gobsmacked at Ruby's "ability"!
7:39 am
rubyfoo
now if Soodle made an Irish breakfast, I'd be on the next plane!
7:40 am
MollyL
Seems like the food at a party of restaurant owners would be top shelf.
7:40 am
rubyfoo
to what, car.?
7:40 am
Soodle
He he!! Sausages on the pan, Rubes....
7:40 am
car.eeyore
To not eat food at parties!!!!
7:40 am
rubyfoo
next plane!
7:41 am
rubyfoo
I was busy flirting with the bass player, lol!
7:41 am
Soodle
You, and Mr O'Bama!
7:41 am
car.eeyore
Well there you go!
7:41 am
rubyfoo
just kidding.... ruefully :(
7:41 am
car.eeyore
Obama flirts with bass players?
7:42 am
rubyfoo
lots of bare midriffs and very short skirts!
7:42 am
rubyfoo
I looked like a nun - appropriate to a parish hall, I guess
7:42 am
MollyL
Hey, I can flirt and eat at the same time, no problem.
7:43 am
mrpresident
evening all :)
7:43 am
rubyfoo
but what if you got tomato on a tooth?
7:43 am
Soodle
Hey Mr P :-)
7:43 am
car.eeyore
Hi MRP!!!!!
7:43 am
car.eeyore
If I do that, I always spill something on my shirt and then look like an ass for the rest of the evening!
7:43 am
rubyfoo
my nightmare, food on a tooth that you don't notice til you get home!
7:44 am
car.eeyore
LOL! That kind of happened to me, but it was a blade of grass from mowing the lawn!!!
7:44 am
car.eeyore
The guy I was dating at the time did NOT tell me and even introduced me to one of his buds!
7:44 am
rubyfoo
the host kept covering up his wife's (ample) cleavage
7:45 am
rubyfoo
you'll never forget that, car.!
7:45 am
car.eeyore
Clearly I have been scarred by it!
7:50 am
MollyL
What is wrong with men? Clearly they can see things like that, or mascara smudged under your eye, and yet they don't mention it.
7:50 am
Soodle
I'm hoping to go into the city tomorrow to see Mr Obama.... should be a great day!
7:50 am
MollyL
Great. Tell Barry I said hey Soodle.
7:50 am
Soodle
Will do, Molls :-)
7:51 am
rubyfoo
molly, that's a small thing wrong; we can start a list....
7:52 am
rubyfoo
too much r and r
7:52 am
MollyL
I'll add being a borefest and not accompanying your lovely wife to a party. ; )
7:52 am
rubyfoo
see you later, I've been summoned.....
7:53 am
Soodle
Bye Rubes. Take care ((()))
7:53 am

tremendous fun, but no sleep and walking and standing (at arlington, we happened upon cannons getting ready for a 19 gun salute to the chief operating naval officer who was coming in with the naval chief of the UAE, so we stood around waiting to see that happen. Loud bangs!! probably worth it, but the standing + the walking did my back in
10:14 am
Dorens
i've never heard of springtails.. what are they? and i commiserate about the tomatoes.... I get really good ones from a local farm, but not as much fun as your own, i know
10:15 am
rururocks
they are little bugs that like moisture and jump.. walk on a lawn and you'll see them jump
10:15 am
MollyL
Arlington is an awesome place. Both my parents are buried there. Quiet a tribute to our fallen military.
10:15 am
rururocks
dorens?
10:15 am
MollyL
I call those hoppy bugs Ru. : D
10:16 am
rururocks
was it a 19 gun salute instead of 20 because of cut-backs in the budget?
10:16 am
Dorens
the kids were very impressed... and a burial was about to happen where we were walking... kids saw the casked unloaded... made it so real
10:16 am
MollyL
It's usually a 21 gun salute. They do those things in rounds of 7.
10:17 am
Dorens
hah! ru, i was curious myself... turns out 21 is for the highest of the high... and United Arab EMirates doesn't rate that highly apparently
10:17 am
Dorens
we were right there... i mean, the things that popped out of the cannons rolled a few feet, and almost came to where we were standing.
10:17 am
rururocks
I would think the emirates would get a row of firecrackers these days
10:18 am
MollyL
Actually, there is a 21 gun salute at the burial of any military officer. Seven guns shoot three times. There was one at my Dad's service.
10:18 am

There is a woman who works in my grocery store, who is usually all cheery and bright. Today she was downright grumpy. She's also an "in your face Christian". I was wondering if she was grumpy because the rapture failed to commence.

I ha 5/14 the grid size when I saw it. I was a de 7/40 and I de6/27 if I should do it or not. Started babbling early since I did not want to get a la4/4 start.I made a de 4/5 and I am halfway done, so here is a story of clues. Husband and I have be 4/5 together for a long time, since we were te4/4agers. We dated for many years before we got engaged. When hubby asked me to marry him, he gave me a huge st5/10 & he waited with ba 5/16 breath for my answer. I just ba6/27 my eyelashes and said, Of course I'll marry you!" We got married at the al5/10 5 years ago. Hubby and I had a small wedding & invited only people who were re7/32 to us. We've had our ups and downs.Our relationship has be4/6 put to the te4/4 & we've be4/6 te6/18ing recently.Even to5/16 with idea of getting a divorce. But I think we can work on our marriage.We have to work on how we speak to each other since we do not always use a nice to 4/4. We used to have screaming matches, but we have to5/12 down a bit. Although it is hard sometimes,I think the be4/6 years are still to come. I ne 4/5 to put a ha 4/5 to babbling for now. I be6/24 go do something productive.I haven't de5/12 with any household chores in awhile. I will be back la 5/10 to de 4/5 with the rest of this unless something de 5/12s me from coming back here.I will be el6/21 if I can finish the grid today.Hope you have no7/32 my clues and se4/4 more words.I'll see you again tonight.

Hello Auntie? We are coming to move in with you now.

3:40 pm
uusue2
oh, lil, she's long gone, wish she was still there!
3:40 pm
lil*monkey
dammit
3:41 pm
lil*monkey
well Hawaii might be too expensive for our Babble Commune anyway
3:41 pm
uusue2
one of my good friends from college went to graduate school there but she's in Massachusetts now
3:41 pm
uusue2
wasn't worrying about money (since if I did I'd probably realize I may never be able to afford to retire...)
3:42 pm
lil*monkey
well wherever it is, I'm in
3:42 pm
lil*monkey
I like the idea of a commune, with evvyone contributing some skill or talent
3:43 pm

ty. I'm off for now. Have a good afternoon
3:52 pm
uusue2
ruru - Frank has celiac disease and can't have any traces of wheat. He is ok with distilled liquor but some wines don't agree with him. He thinks it might be either the sulfites (not wheat but might be a separate sensitivity) or something to do with filtering. Do you have any ideas?

Absolutely, Deeha. But her visit to the Republic was the first by a reigning monarch for over 100 years. And it was terrific.
4:44 pm
Deeha
Dont blame her Ireland is a fabulous place. Everyone should visit.

5:14 pm
MollyL
'Tis true, nor a butterfly. *Finds justification for another shot of Tullamore Dew*
5:14 pm
uusue2
ok, it is definitely my SD card (and therefore presumably not the phone) that is messed up.
5:15 pm
MollyL
Sounds like an easy fix Sue.
5:16 pm
uusue2
right, I just need a new card, and it is still under warranty.
5:17 pm

Hello mrpresident! How are you? Welcome to the grid.
7:39 pm
mrpresident
hi lilbit and min :)
7:40 pm
Nef
I'm doing well. We had our grandson yesterday afternoon through til about an hour ago; then had my 2 "adopted" grandchildren also all afternoon. It was pretty wild here all afternoon; we are physically exhausted; but mentally I feel refreshed
7:40 pm
Minveryork
After getting halfway finished I did clue story & then I signed off and I am just returning now. The story is in my profile if anybody feels like taking a look at it.
7:41 pm
Nef
hi mrp! How are you doing?
7:41 pm
mrpresident
oh nef! kids are such gifts!!
7:41 pm
littlebit
sounds like fun nef...thanks min i'll do that
7:41 pm
mrpresident
hi nef **hugs** ... having a stay in bed day and not dealing with anything but babble and FB... so, great I must say!!
7:42 pm
Nef
I know. My "adopted" grandkids are 4 and 2; and our real grandson is 2; so it was lots of fun
7:42 pm
littlebit
i'm sure you stayed busy
7:43 pm
Nef
I'm thiking and praying for you each day, mrp. Sending all sorts of healing thoughts your way!
7:43 pm
mrpresident
you are such a blessed friend nef! thank you!!
7:46 pm
Nef
it was rainy here today (actually had several tornadoes in the area) so we mad fishing rods out of chop sticks; used some paper clips and put them on construction paper fish, and had small magnets for bait; the kids had so much fun!
7:46 pm
Nef
(I did too!) :-)
7:48 pm
Minveryork
Just read your profile mrpresident,what a nightmare!
7:48 pm
Nef
mrp, I think that prayer and healing thoughts are important for everyone.
7:48 pm
mrpresident
oh please be careful of tornadoes!! But having fun like that with home made is the best!
7:49 pm
mrpresident
yes Min, I wish it would all just go away, but I can't seem to get it out of my mind what happened and everything is so confusing at times
7:50 pm
mrpresident
true Nef... I have been getting some really good things come into my life and I believe the prayers are what have helped me enormously!
7:50 pm
Minveryork
Good luck w/your surgery also. I do hope all goes well
7:51 pm
mrpresident
Ah, that is tomorrow.... I am having nightmares about it!! Really weirdo stuff about the operation... I am too sensitive!
7:52 pm
Nef
It was so funny listening to the 4 year old trying to talk my grandson into going along with his ideas. The 2 y/o's are both in that "No!" phase, and Kian was telling Ronnie "Oh, don't say I can't have it; say you don't want the doggy now"; I just had to laugh at him!
7:53 pm
Nef
mrp; think of all the people 'round the world who will be thinking and praying for you.
7:54 pm
Nef
picture yourself in the capable surgeons hands and surrounded by all that caring!
7:54 pm
MollyL
Mr. P...prayers out for you and I hope your surgery is an amazing success.
7:55 pm

Thank you jillibus. Could not find a good pic of myself so I went with the black square to represent my hair.
9:09 pm
jillibus
Min, my icon does NOT describe MY hair!
9:10 pm

It should, jilli. Try some of the wild temporary hair dye; it might be fun to see the reactions

If my hair was whiter, I would try it. Right now both my older and younger sisters have salt & pepper gray hair and mine is still brown; I wish mine would change soon. My grandma had the yellow gray hair and she would use some blue hair dye to make it whiter; but every once in a while it would be too blue
9:14 pm
suefrad625
a's done
9:14 pm

And she had it done in a shop; not at home!

In your pictures it looks light, almost blonde in fact
9:20 pm

It's grey -- call it silver ;-)
9:20 pm
Minveryork
I wrote in profile that my hair is black,but I see more gray every day.I pull out the grays every day.I don't believe in that myth that more grays will grow faster if I keep pulling them out. I don't want to dye my hair
9:20 pm
jillibus
did you read my bio, nef? It was dark brown.
9:21 pm
jillibus
right on, min.
9:21 pm

hi, min, if I pulled out all my grey hair I would be bald! :-)
9:21 pm

I wonder if I should change my profile pic?? show my hair colour??
9:21 pm

Show your beautiful face and hair, mrp!
9:22 pm

I wish I could have salt and pepper. Mine is light brown, so the gray doesn't look that great. I must say, though, that I have two very fetching white streaks :-)
9:22 pm
Minveryork
I am sure I will be bald soon enough uusue2. Bound to happen. I think that Asian people do not age very well
9:22 pm
mrpresident
ok back soon, will go find one
9:23 pm
jillibus
Min, I disagree.
9:24 pm
uusue2
actually my hair is not pure white; it is whiter in front than in back. People tell me it looks nice but I just see the white part :-P
9:24 pm
Nef
Min, I find that Asian women age beautifully!
9:25 pm
jillibus
Speciaoy when they start out looking as lovely as you do in your flickr pic.
9:27 pm
Nef
I've always had "difficult" hair: fine, thin and very straight. I've been told that gray hair holds curl and is easier to manage; my hair remains difficult and won't change colors.
9:28 pm
mrpresident
ok, hope it changed
9:28 pm
jillibus
I should go and get some supper.
9:28 pm
jillibus
Beautiful, mrp!
9:29 pm

Now, mrp -- I'll repeat my question at 9:08 -- surgery tomorrow? Or info needed tomorrow for possible surgery later?
9:29 pm
mrpresident
the photo is in 'wide-screen'! I am not that wide, but shows the hair
9:30 pm
jillibus
you could crop it square, mrp -- scroll down in my profile for how to.
9:30 pm
mrpresident
jilli, sorry I missed your question... am having everything explored, then they make decision and I go in for final surgery.
9:31 pm
jillibus
so some surgery tomorrow or just tests? I hope not tomorrow!
9:31 pm

I guess I am the exception to the rule, not aging well.

colocoscopy ... like a nasty pap smear... ultrasounds etc
9:34 pm

been there, done that, mrp, more than once. The prep is the worst part.
9:35 pm
jillibus
(if you mean colonoscopy)
9:35 pm
uusue2
good luck, mrp, will be thinking of you!!!!!!!!!!!
9:36 pm
Nef
or do you mean colposcopy?
9:36 pm
mrpresident
thank you sue!!
9:36 pm
mrpresident
that's the one... don't have the letter infront of me!!
9:37 pm
mrpresident
colposcopy is the one
9:37 pm
jillibus
Ah -- that's different and makes more sense.
9:37 pm
jillibus
Nurse Nef would know, of course.
9:38 pm
mrpresident
I just sent through more info from my doc... perhaps if ovaries are ok, can keep them and remove the rest
9:38 pm
Nef
mrp, if you are having a colposcopy; ask if you really need to be put totally under with GA. I've had all of my foot surgeries with the med that Michael Jackson OD'ed on
9:39 pm
mrpresident
I don't want to be put under a GA... will do anything to avoid it
9:39 pm
mrpresident
i have had so may GA's I am scared I won't wake up
9:39 pm
Nef
propofol is MUCH easier on your system!
9:41 pm
jillibus
I just read up on it and Wikipedia said GA is not usually used.
9:42 pm
mrpresident
oh good!
9:42 pm
Nef
there may be some reasons why a person can't use Propofol; but I'd definitely ask about it mrp!
9:43 pm
mrpresident
what is propofol nef?
9:43 pm
jillibus
Nef, what is it that's used for colonoscopies? It just soothes...
9:44 pm
uusue2
hi again, all, in the interest of full hair disclosure I now have my own picture on my icon :-)
9:44 pm
mrpresident
jilli, I just want them to give me a half aneasthetic.... twilight is what it is called
9:44 pm
uusue2
but look at it quickly as I plan to change it tomorrow...
9:44 pm
mrpresident
jilli, i loaded the image converter, but can't find the squaring tool
9:45 pm
uusue2
mrp, I hope they are able to give you the twilight as you request - I think they are essentially always able to do that.
9:45 pm
Nef
we used to call it "Milk of Amnesia" because it is a white IV fluid and you forget the surgery. It's a drug that reduces anxiety and tension, and promotes relaxation and sleep or loss of consciousness. Propofol provides loss of awareness for short diagnostic tests and surgical procedures, sleep at the beginning of surgery, and supplements other types of general anesthetics.
9:45 pm
mrpresident
you look gorgeous sue! what colour you going to?
9:45 pm
Nef
Yes, jilli; it's often used for colonoscopies too.
9:46 pm
mrpresident
yes nef. that is what is referred to as twight sleep.
9:46 pm
jillibus
Great stuff, nef.
9:46 pm
mrpresident
am writing that in my notes now nef
9:47 pm
jillibus
nice picture, uusue!
9:47 pm
Nef
it is great stuff! Like I said, I had my 3 foot surgeries with it (the first 2 were extensive surgeries); but they didn't do my thyroidectomy with it.
9:48 pm
mrpresident
they do put you under GA for a Loop of the cervix right?
9:48 pm
uusue2
hi mrp, I have no intention of dyeing my hair - I did for a little while when my son was young, after one too many people asked me if I was his grandmother (!) but now I am just leaving it alone.
9:49 pm
Nef
sue, you have beautiful hair!
9:49 pm
uusue2
I have heard of a case of heart bypass surgery using local anesthetic (NOT THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS!!!). I think if you are very clear about what you want they can accommodate you.
9:50 pm
uusue2
that's what people tell me, nef. looks white to me :-)
9:50 pm
mrpresident
nef... my doc is asking for endometrial ablation as another option if things go well with cervix and ovaries
9:51 pm
mrpresident
to be honest, if I want to be f***ed with down there, I would prefer to enjoy it!!
9:51 pm
jillibus
LOL mrp!
9:51 pm

local for heart bypass??? OMG!

*covers ears* LALALALALALALALAL
9:52 pm
Nef
I don't know, mrp; but the colposcopy can be done with the Propofol unless you have a contraindication for it. The thyroid surgery was contraindicated for Propofol because of the nerves and location of the surgery. Twilight anesthesia may not have been enough; I might have swallowed or something and they could have damaged my voice box or breathing nerves
9:52 pm
DR1965
Hi everyone- Was reading back- will hold good thoughts for you Mr P
9:53 pm
uusue2
(and I have had a lot of surgeries as well, mostly with GA, and seem to still be functioning)
9:53 pm
mrpresident
thanks DR :)
9:54 pm
jillibus
I had 5 mastoid ops back in the dark ages when I was 5 -- ether and no antibiotics in those days.
9:54 pm
uusue2
ether is nasty stuff. glad they have newer GA's now!!
9:54 pm
jillibus
Also 2 tonsillectomies, ages 3 and 9.
9:54 pm
mrpresident
I would prefer to be totally groggy and have amnesia with the procedure, but don't know if they do that
9:55 pm
mrpresident
ether was disgusting!
9:55 pm
Nef
I'm overly sensitive to meds; ended up on a ventilator for 2 days after a D&C when the MDA didn't believe me when I said I didn't need much drugs. I'm hoping that they will consider doing my hip with the Propofol as it's much easier for me to tolerate
9:55 pm
jillibus
So recent sugeries with modern anesthetics were a piece of cake.
9:56 pm
uusue2
the main thing that scares me going forward, now, is intubation - had some damage due to the last one and my voice took 6 months to recover, not fun!!!
9:56 pm
jillibus
I really must go and get supper -- almost 8 pm now.
9:56 pm
uusue2

9:57 pm

they used ether on me when I was 9 and had my tonsils out. I wouldn't wake up so the nun grabbed my tongue and pulled and I guess I left some permanent bite marks in her hand!
9:57 pm

9:58 pm
DR1965
I do have an aversion to anything being over my face though
9:59 pm
Nef
I've never heard of anyone grabbing a patients' tongue and pulling on it to wake someone up in all my years of nursing! So maybe that nun needed a good bite! :-)
10:01 pm

10:02 pm
DR1965
Nice Ruru
10:03 pm
Nef
Versed and Propofol are what they used to do open heart surgeries in the unit I used to work in. The patients were much easier to take care of than the older anesthesias
10:03 pm
DR1965
I believe it! the old stuff was BAD !
10:05 pm

nope, not better. We are getting a Metro line out this way though -- phase 1 to open in 2013
10:18 pm
dcseain
the traffic is only marginally worse than in 1987, thanks to new commuter trains and bigger subway since then.
10:18 pm
Nef
that will really help. Why did it take so long?
10:19 pm
dcseain
the metro extension? Federal delays, and it took Virginia a while to award contracts to construct the line
10:20 pm
dcseain
and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority only decided last month where to put the airport station, so now Phase 2 can move forward.
10:22 pm
dcseain
www.dullesmetro.com tells about that line, if you're interested.
10:22 pm
Nef
Sometimes you wonder; don't you? Why would it take forever to decide where to put a station;
10:23 pm
Nef
thanks. I don't go to DC anymore (used to go every 1-2 years, back when I was really active in the ANA)
10:23 pm
dcseain
Well, they were debating between above ground and underground, and for above ground there was where to place the station.
10:23 pm
dcseain
i used to eat lunch in the ANA building when they were on Maryland Ave SW
10:24 pm
Nef
And I never knew that they had food there!
10:25 pm
dcseain
There was an Au Bon Pain in the lobby level, and a something else across from it, but i don't recall what it was.

nurses have the bad idea that meetings must go from 7AM til 11PM; lunch was ususally provided
10:30 pm
dcseain
Lunch provided is not a bad thing :)
10:31 pm
Nef
true; but the hours sucked and the food wassanwiches, etc.
10:31 pm
Nef
(sorry for the bad spelling)
10:32 pm
Nef
nurses don't take care of ourselves very well
10:33 pm
dcseain
yeah, Tom complains about that a fair bit
10:35 pm
Nef
there are way too many overweight nurses in this country; and it's because of the fact we put our health behind everything else.
10:35 pm
Nef
BTW, how is Tom?
10:36 pm
dcseain
he's okay. Steeling himself to start the screening for heart transplant again in Baltimore, as his insurance doesn't cover Richmond.
