6:22 am

Eva

6:22 am

mrpresident

my gyno of 14 years rang me and asked me why I wasn't seeing him... I explained my horrid few months and financial position.

6:23 am

Eva

and.....

6:23 am

mrpresident

He asked me to cancel with the public hospital and see him day after tomorrow at his rooms... and that he would take care of all the financials... he is one of the top ob/gynos in australia

6:23 am

wildcat17

wonderful news mrp!!!!

6:24 am

mrpresident

I am blessed!! I truly am!

6:24 am

Eva

unbelievable....isn't it something when someone offers a simple human response that makes so much difference to you?

6:24 am

Eva

sounds like a true mensch

6:24 am

car.eeyore

That is nice!

6:24 am

mrpresident

he is the only person I would let operate on me 'down there' and my prayers came through

6:25 am

wildcat17

6:25 am

mrpresident

I don't have to cry now... I feel safe and taken care of on a truly blessed level

6:26 am

wildcat17

mrpresident

6:27 am

mrpresident

my doc called him and told him I was freaked out

6:27 am

Eva

great! sounds like their is a web of caring people

6:27 am

mrpresident

she knew he was the only person I trusted with my ob/gyno issues and she could see how distressed I was

6:28 am

mrpresident

too right eva... I have very caring people around me

6:28 am

mrpresident

and I so appreciate all the prayers and blessings from you all... it has helped me enormously!!

6:28 am

Eva

And also you played a big part in it by letting them know how you were feeling and that you needed help

6:28 am

Eva

too often we hide that

6:29 am

mrpresident

I sure did eva... I was ready to check myself into a mental hospital

6:29 am

car.eeyore

Why doesn't it take rosacea?

6:30 am

Eva

better to scream then hide it....being isolated leads to feeling crazy

6:30 am

mrpresident

I am frightened, overwhelmed, scared to death of a certain person, and dealing with health issues.... makes for a suicidal incident... but I luv my kids too much

6:30 am

Eva

wondered about that too car

6:31 am

Eva

know the feeling mrp-am on a search for a new doctor whom I can have the kind of relationship with that you have with yours

6:31 am

mrpresident

would never ever leave them... even if my cancer went to 'critical', I would fight like hell to get through

6:32 am

Eva

it is so, so normal and natural to have all of those feelings.....just don't be alone with them.

6:32 am

mrpresident

eva... when you find that doc... you will be held on to and loved by the doc... it is amazing to be able to have that connection

6:32 am

mrpresident

I have several surgeons/docs that are firmly connected to me. I am truly blessed for that.

6:33 am

Eva

Good morning friends

7:36 am

uusue2

hi, mr bob!

7:37 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Babble Friends

7:37 am

uusue2

hi, river!

7:38 am

MollyL

Morning everyone.

7:38 am

Riverdance

Are you safe out there Sue with this crazy weather

7:38 am

uusue2

hi, molly!

7:38 am

Riverdance

hello Molly

7:38 am

uusue2

yes, we're fine, got some rain last night but that was about it.

7:39 am

Riverdance

heard this morning about that tornado in MO - just awful

7:40 am

MollyL

Glad to hear you are okay Sue. And yes River, awful news about Missouri.

7:40 am

uusue2

oh, I did too, river! It's been a terrible tornado season this year already!

7:40 am

godthaab

uusue - How far away is the Crab Nebula? What makes the magnetic field change?

7:41 am

uusue2

hi, godt, the Crab Nebula is about 6500 light-years away; the star that formed it exploded in a supernova that was observed here in 1054.

7:42 am

Riverdance

this grid has quite the bite to it today

7:43 am

wordlovah

why isnt rosacea a word?

7:43 am

uusue2

the neutron star at the center is extremely compact (mass more than that of our sun but only about 10 km across) and rotating extremely rapidly; it's the very rapid rotation that produces extremely large magnetic fields

7:43 am

wordlovah

i was so excited that it was the first one i saw

7:43 am

Riverdance

**pats word on back - it will be OK**

7:44 am

uusue2

the star isn't perfectly symmetric so the field varies. details are complicated, though, and there is a lot about neutron stars that we have yet to learn!

7:44 am

godthaab

Ok, I get it.

7:45 am

wordlovah

thx river - *sniff*

7:45 am

uusue2

btw, godt, I love your icon! (took 3 semesters of music theory in college...)

7:45 am

MollyL

I had the same thing happen with rosacea Word.

7:47 am

godthaab

Congrats! You are the first person to get it! You win a .... Bach Chorale, you know, one of the many with all the exceptions.

7:47 am

uusue2

lol, godt, Bach was big on exceptions :-)

7:48 am

godthaab

I think he may have only written one "normal" chorale, and then broke the rules on the other 7,000,000.

7:49 am

MollyL

It's amazing the stuff I learn around here.

7:49 am

uusue2

sounds about right :-)

7:50 am

godthaab

Have you read "Godel, Esher, Bach"?

7:50 am

uusue2

oh, yes, it is on my bookshelf (I keep getting stuck in it and need to read it again, though)

7:51 am

MollyL

I figure if you hang out with the smart ones, a tiny bit of it sinks in eventually.

7:51 am

Riverdance

I'm hoping so Molly

7:51 am

uusue2

well, molly, I love to learn and hope that other people do too; that's partly why I put all the astronomy and physics stuff in my profile

7:51 am

godthaab

Hofstadter also wrote a great book on linguistics and the are of translation.

7:52 am

godthaab

??? .. art of translation!

7:52 am

Riverdance

we all learn something new each day on babble

7:52 am

uusue2

Indeed - I sent it to my ex-sister-in-law who lives in Israel and does a lot of translation from Hebrew to English.

7:52 am

MollyL

I'm sure your love of learning is what makes you such a good teacher Sue.

7:53 am

uusue2

I miss it, though, and am considering buying another copy :-)

7:53 am

uusue2

aww, thx, molly!

7:54 am

MollyL

I really do River. Whether it's the meaning of a new word or something that someone posts. This place keeps my brain tweaked.

7:54 am

uusue2

and my son now has his own copy of Metamagical Themas, thanks to his calculus teacher, so now i have mine back. need to reread that one too :-)

7:54 am

godthaab

I wonder if it is the definitive book on translation. I am a very minor polyglot, but I haven't really run across anything else like it.

7:54 am

uusue2

oddly it (Le Ton Beau de Marot, if I recall properly) is not considered one of his better works; I really love it.

7:54 am

godthaab

It has been a long time since I read that. It hasn't stuck with me the way the others have. I should probably re-read it.

7:55 am

godthaab

I can see why some people would say that.

7:56 am

uusue2

but now I have to go to work - see you all later!!! btw - here is what I am working on for the next two days: http://www.niu.edu/engagedlearning/the
med_learning/Engineering.pdf

7:57 am

godthaab

Very cool! Ciao.

7:57 am

MollyL

Hmm, I tried taking physics in college one semester. I had to drop it. I am very English minded. Mathematically minded, not so much.

8:00 am

MollyL

I will once again object to ea6. It's a proper noun, plain and simple..

8:02 am

BzznBea

What about a nor' ea6?

8:04 am

hurshy

yeah i think it's a verb. i know there's such a thing as westering, so...

8:10 am

How are you Scrabbs - and all the bunnies of course

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Bunny Sebastian is now 9 and becoming elderly--losing muscle mass, occ leaking pee, but running around still, especially when I bring his twice-daily salad plates. He's eating great.

8:20 am

lynxxx

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I now have to take care of his bottom to prevent urine scald--apply corn starch and some ointment.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I had hoped he would be immortal. He is the best bunny ever--friendly, sociable, loves to snuggle, and he's only 1 kg!

8:21 am

MollyL

Well, dictionary.com, which is what Enable refers to for definitions, only defines ea6 as a noun.

8:22 am

lynxxx

EvaNadine

molly -- its not the norm around here, or at least it hasnt been in all the years i have worked here, for different companies and under different bosses/managers.
but my direct manager and our main manager (who is new) both seem to be willing to take the extra effort to reward people for doing well instead of just reprimanding those who dont. its such a nice change!

8:43 am

8:52 am

Judi

I work at a police dept. A woman called (the other secretary answered) wanting to know the phone number of one of the Dunkin Donuts near here. My co-worker politely told her that we had no idea. She would have to look in the yellow pages or white pages. The woman caller stated: "Well I thought I'd save time calling you because I figured the cops know the numbers to all the donut shops."

8:53 am

Aloyisius

lol, wonder how that stereotype got started?

8:53 am

MollyL

The sad thing is, people really are that dim.

8:53 am

lynxxx

wow - not sure if that is dumb or smart

8:53 am

Judi

Trust me, we all had a good laugh in the front office over that one.

8:54 am

Riverdance

I think that is pretty funny...

8:54 am

Judi

She sounded elderly, so I guess we have to give a little leeway for that.

8:56 am

flosey

but odd - donut shops don't deliver? do they?

8:56 am

Judi

No, Flosey, they don't. I guess she thought we had DD on speed dial or something. Mind boggling.

8:56 am

MollyL

I would guess that stereotype got started because cops work overnight shifts and doughnut shops used to be the only thing open in the wee hours.

8:57 am

flosey

indeed!

8:57 am

Aloyisius

that makes sense, Molly

8:58 am

Gail

I had to go to the police station for help early one morning and when I walked in the grumpy office was eating a donut and got annoyed when he had to put it down and come and help me.

9:01 am

flosey

9:03 am

9:06 am

9:07 am

flosey

have you had the dark chocolate with hot red pepper in it? love it

9:07 am

MollyL

*Adds dark chocolate as the sixth food group*

9:07 am

lynxxx

whats good is that it is so rich you can't actually eat much ... which makes it cheaper as well. Can't eat milk chocolate anymore

9:08 am

flosey

yes, that's quite true lyn, less is satisfying

9:08 am

lynxxx

Really? I'll look out for it. Lots of dark chocolate with rock (or is it sea) salt in it

9:08 am

flosey

I have 30 to go and have hit a wall! I don't believe they are normal words

hi, folks

3:23 pm

jillibus

(my icon isn't as weird as it looks here -- it;s "Pet and animal" theme day)

3:23 pm

jillibus

hi welki

3:23 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, jilli :-)

3:24 pm

jillibus

all 25 of the words I have to find start with S

3:24 pm

jillibus

bonjour une

3:25 pm

jillibus

Une that pup in your icon is a real cutie -- good luck to her!

3:26 pm

Uneaixoise

jilli, I feel sure she'll be adopted quickly -- so cute and full of energy :-)

3:26 pm

Uneaixoise

cute, icon, jilli :-)

3:26 pm

welki

hmmm. no rosacea?

3:26 pm

Uneaixoise

and think we ALL tried it, welki LOL

3:27 pm

welki

:

3:27 pm

welki

LOL .. i meant :D

3:28 pm

Uneaixoise

thought it was a new "mystery" emoticon! LOL

3:28 pm

jillibus

Une, did the people come to see her yet?

3:28 pm

welki

the eyes.

3:29 pm

Uneaixoise

they were supposed to see her this morning so I assume so -- was just thinking I need to email the lady in Memphis who fostered and find out the results -- she kept her 3 weeks and loved her to pieces!

3:29 pm

lilliann

hi all, i'm computor thick!hubby away and the bairn in bed. how do i get a jpeg pic of one og my cats from pictures to here as my icon?

3:30 pm

lilliann

love passion by the way, she looks a sweetie and what a great name!:) hope she gets a new home soon

3:33 pm

Uneaixoise

just emailed a lady I think will know the results of the "meet-and-greet" this morning -- can't wait to hear!

3:33 pm

jillibus

lil, go to your My Account, above. On the left page you will see your icon with Edit underneath it. Click on that. Then go to Browse (scroll down to it) and open your My Pictures. Find your cat's picture and click Open. Then click Upload. Wait until the red line appears above saying it has uploaded successfully. Then close Babble. When you open it again your new icon should shoe.

3:33 pm

jillibus

*show.

3:33 pm

lilliann

jilly, i love your icon too. did you breed them aswell or just write about them?

3:34 pm

jillibus

We bred them and showed them -- got championships and obedience titles.

3:34 pm

lilliann

thanks jilli, will try that now

3:34 pm

lilliann

oh great. i thought you did as you spoke with such passion about them

3:36 pm

jillibus

oops -- when you find your cat's picture, click on it and then on Open.

3:37 pm

Uneaixoise

FYI, addendum to Jilli's instructions -- you don't have to close Babble -- just refresh the page

3:38 pm

jillibus

Une -- refreshing no longer works for me or for several others.

3:39 pm

Uneaixoise

really? oh, ok . . . it's always worked for me . . . guess that's just one more Babble idiosyncracy, eh? LOL

3:41 pm

jillibus

Une, It may have been caused by IE updates -- it used to work but not now. And IE 9 really messes up Expert so the techied put me back to IE8. Babble seems to default to IE although I never use it -- I'm a Firefoxer.

3:41 pm

Uneaixoise

interesting . . . i'm still using IE8 -- haven't tried IE9

3:42 pm

lilliann

mmm, not sure if it as worked?

3:42 pm

lilliann

no, doesn't seem to have lol

3:43 pm

lilliann

oh it has but it's huge!! lol

3:44 pm

Uneaixoise

huge but a very sweet face!!

3:44 pm

lilliann

how do i make it icon size?

3:44 pm

lilliann

he is a cutie. he's my boy!

3:45 pm

jillibus

Darn, I just posted how, but it disappeared!

3:46 pm

Uneaixoise

what's his name, lilliann?

3:46 pm

jillibus

Scroll down in my profile, lil, to the link for resizing. And crop it square if you can.

3:47 pm

lilliann

3:47 pm

Uneaixoise

3:47 pm

lilliann

ok, thanks jilli

3:48 pm

Uneaixoise

back in a bit . . . *poof*

3:48 pm

lilliann

he was already named this when we got him. he chose us, he use to live in teh house behind us but they got a dog and plus i think the boys use to kick him as he doesn't like sudden movements and scared of ythings, so we came to an agreement with them

3:49 pm

lilliann

bye une

3:51 pm

jillibus

oh that's nice, lil, that he chose you. Our late susiecat chose us too -- just showed up one day, didn't belong to anyone near us. She was only 12 weeks old -- we think she had been abandoned that September by people staying in a nearby campground for the summer.

her death was more pleasant that my mother's who suffered a lot the last year--my mil was content and comfortable

10:43 pm

Nef

10:43 pm

jmcnrick

10:47 pm

10:48 pm

jmcnrick

*trying to understand the concept of a plural 0*

10:49 pm

Nef

I've reached the point of randomly typing in letters and hitting the enter key every so often. Even my monkeys died tonight

10:49 pm

jmcnrick

10:56 pm

jmcnrick

10:57 pm

Nef

I have a no 5/10; but your comment still doesn't make sense to me (I'm slow tonight)

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

no5/10 is the plural of no4/4 which means zero

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

didn't mean to be cryptic

10:59 pm

Nef

Wow. That doesn't make sense! (Thanks for the clue and help!)

*rolls eyes*

11:12 pm

stidmama

8 teaching days to go... then I get to revert to volunteer (FUN) status!

11:12 pm

stidmama

11:12 pm

Nef

(((stid))) Didn't stidg ever tell you there'd be days like that?

11:12 pm

torgone

I had one of those days that it's a wonder I didn't drive home mid-morning and go back to bed ..

11:13 pm

stidmama

i know there will be nef, but the icing on the cake was my supervisor came for an observation I had completely forgotten about. *hangs head*

11:13 pm

stidmama

she'll come back Thursday...

11:13 pm

stidmama

oh gee tor! *hands over the choclits*

11:13 pm

Nef

11:13 pm

stidmama

11:14 pm

Nef

he. I got the news today I *have* to have a hip replacement; but have to see an allergist and get another injection , etc. first.......

11:15 pm

stidmama

oh nef! *wraps nef protectively with bubble wrap and gentle hugs*

11:15 pm

Nef

(I'm allergic to NSAIDS -ibuprofen, aspirin, etc---- AND metal

11:15 pm

stidmama

I will give up walking before I let a doc touch me again...

11:16 pm

stidmama

there was something on NPR today about metal hip replacements... what are your alternatives?

11:16 pm

stidmama

titanium also bad I suppose?

11:16 pm

Nef

I've been ignoring this for about a year

11:17 pm

Nef

Really? I'll have to check that out! I guess that titanium and ceramic are my 2 choices

11:18 pm

Nef

I don't know how I'd do with either (nurses always have the weird stuff happenning to them)

11:19 pm

stidmama

well, I guess your bodies get to pick and choose from the buffet... the rest of us just get scraps? *wicked mama look* I am a very bad patient

11:20 pm

stidmama

tom is trying to convert a video file for me. I have something I have to do with it tomorrow, but so very tired I don't think I will last.

11:21 pm

Nef

I *try* to be a good patient; (Nurses are the biggest pains at times) but as a doc once told me; if there is some weird side effect or reaction; it will happen to a nurse]

11:21 pm

stidmama

Nef, did I ever tell you my medical transcription oopsie?

11:21 pm

stidmama

good thing I am NOT a nurse!

11:21 pm

Nef

mayber we both should quit and go to bed, stid

11:22 pm

Nef

No. what was your med transcript error?

11:22 pm

stidmama

one of the docs I worked for had a southern accent. She said the word meaning "bloody" -- silly me, I heard "cloudy" and typed CIRRUS about five times that day!

11:22 pm

stidmama

she laughed about it...

11:23 pm

Nef

she said serous and you typed cirrus? Good ONE! :-D

11:23 pm

stidmama

luckily it wasn't about drugs or something really important!

11:23 pm

stidmama

rofl

11:24 pm

Nef

11:24 pm

stidmama
