west, I have to drive nearly 2 hours, plus at least and hour and a half ferry ride plus having to be at the ferry early by at least half an hour plus the time it takes to drive to one of them -- count on about 4 hours to their ploace which is about 60 miles as the crow flies from here.

3:31 am

marigold

4:15 am

Deeha

Typical the day I am due to fly the pesky ash cloud reappears!!

4:20 am

lynxxx

Hello all

4:21 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

4:23 am

lynxxx

Hi Haz and Spangle of course. I have just placed my first order with Book Depository - how cheap and no freight! (hoping you will not tell me anything bad about them)

4:24 am

Haz1558

No, I've no experience of them at all - and I hate when people start giving negatives straight away just to depress you!

4:24 am

Haz1558

Are they an Australian company or are the books being shipped from the States?

4:25 am

lynxxx

No UK company - probably 30% cheaper than anywhere else - !

4:25 am

Haz1558

Book Depository always makes me think of Dallas and JFK's assassination.

4:26 am

lynxxx

(read No - they are a UK company)

4:26 am

Haz1558

I hope they meet all your expectations. Have they given an estimated date of delivery?

4:27 am

Haz1558

I'm always amazed at how quickly I get things from Amazon, you'd think someone was just sitting waiting to post things off to me.

4:29 am

lynxxx

Didn't even look at the delivery timelines - am in no rush for them. Maybe you should compare their prices to Amazon - I did with a book Ken got, quite a bit cheaper

4:30 am

lynxxx

10 working days to Aust it seems

4:31 am

Haz1558

I'll have a look although I do still tend to buy books from bookshops (I can look through and see if it appeals). I've found amazon really good for ink cartridges which are a ridiculous price.

4:32 am

Haz1558

10 days sounds reasonable - hopefully this latest ash cloud from Iceland won't mess things around for you.

4:33 am

lynxxx

Ash cloud trouble again - still better than US tornados

4:34 am

Haz1558

A different volcano from last year has begun erupting and the ash is going to cause problems again. They're predicting that it won't be as bad as last time but already flights to and from Scotland and to and from here have been cancelled or delayed.

4:34 am

Haz1558

The pictures of Joplin are awful.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Obama flew over from Dublin to London ahead of schedule to make sure he wasn't delayed.

4:36 am

lynxxx

I don't think I want to look...just listening to radio is bad enough. Did I hear them say he had an irish grandparent? (came in on the end of the news item)

4:37 am

Haz1558

It's further back than that - great great great grandfather, I think. He left Ireland in the latter part of the 19th century.

4:40 am

FMitch

and was a shoe maker.
Morning/evening!

4:40 am

lynxxx

evening FM

4:40 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Shoe maker is a noble profession. One of my ancestors was a shoe maker but never made his name like Jimmy Choo. Sadness.

4:41 am

FMitch

Hi lynxx hope you are well.
Hey Haz and Spangle!
Did you see the part on the news where Obama's car got stuck on a ram as it is so low to the ground?

4:42 am

lynxxx

a ram? - a dead sheep on the road!

4:42 am

FMitch

*ramp not an unfortunate male sheep :)

4:42 am

Haz1558

I saw it on the TV news - so funny and such a clunk as it stuck. Fortunately it was a spare one and the Obamas weren't in it.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Those wild sheep in Dublin are quite a problem.

4:42 am

lynxxx

Did you continue on with your family tree Haz?

4:43 am

Haz1558

They stopped the people keeping pigs in their kitchens but the pet lamb thing has remained.

4:43 am

FMitch

lol

4:43 am

Haz1558

I got back to about 1800 or so, lynxxx and then ran out of time and patience with trying to decipher spidery writing on church records.

4:44 am

Haz1558

I should go back to it now that the Public Record Office has a brand new building with all sorts of bells and whistles.

4:44 am

FMitch

Well done, that is as far back as I got and then ditto.

4:45 am

Haz1558

Programmes like 'Who do you think you are' make it look so easy, but it definitely isn't!

4:46 am

FMitch

It might be if you had the teams of behind the scene people (with lots of experience) working for you.

4:46 am

Haz1558

The other problem is that my ancestors were all from really humble backgrounds so they're unlikely to have been noted anywhere other than on official records, and of course the further back you go the fewer of them there are.

4:46 am

lynxxx

Our Armed Forces have recently made WWI and (some) WW2 service records available online. My brother was very chuffed to read our grandfathers WWI service records - but know what you mean about deciphering writing

4:47 am

Haz1558

It is absolutely fascinating to look back and to try to put yourself in their shoes.

4:47 am

Haz1558

Where did your grandfather serve, lynxxx?

4:48 am

lynxxx

Actually saw the Jason Donovan Who Do You Think You Are program last Sunday...you were right, very interesting - and what a great lot of ancestors to be proud of

4:49 am

Haz1558

It was a great one, wasn't it? I wouldn't have expected half the detail that they found.

4:49 am

FMitch

Think I missed that episode.

4:49 am

lynxxx

He was in the army - Europe/Egypt - but ended up joining the air wing - must have been early days of the air force - he seemed to stay in it after the war for a few years

4:50 am

FMitch

How interesting lynxxx

4:50 am

Haz1558

It's worth seeing, FM - Jason Donovan and Kate Humble were two of the really special episodes.

4:51 am

lynxxx

running off to look at who Kate Humble is (bad on names)

4:51 am

Haz1558

The early days of the air force must have been amazing. It's not that it's ever 'safe' but goodness, when you see those planes and consider that they were firing at each other in the air...

4:51 am

lynxxx

Yes - recognise her face

4:51 am

Soodle

Hi Everybody :-)

4:51 am

Haz1558

Kate Humble - British TV presenter, especially of nature programmes. She had more than her fair share of interesting ancestors.

4:52 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle.

4:52 am

lynxxx

morning Soodle

4:52 am

Haz1558

Here's where Soodle and I can compare Obama stories.

4:52 am

FMitch

Hi Soodle.

4:53 am

Soodle

LOL. I went into Dublin yesterday to see him. I was very impressed!

4:53 am

Haz1558

He has quite a presence, hasn't he?

4:53 am

FMitch

brb

4:53 am

lynxxx

BBS Have to play with Stew, he hasn't had his eveing walk as it is raining so I am being yipped and yodelled at

4:54 am

Soodle

He sure has. We are all VIP'ed out right now!

4:54 am

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx. There's only so much yipping and yodelling any woman can take.

4:54 am

Soodle

deer

4:54 am

Soodle

Dammit. Been ages since I did that. Sorry.

4:55 am

Haz1558

I'm sure you're all feeling that bit more optimistic and cheered after the past few days. Exhausted, broke, but optimistic.

4:56 am

Soodle

Absolutely, Haz. The National Spirit has been lifted...... now all we need is a serious cash injection!

4:56 am

Haz1558

You need to make friends with a few multi-millionaires if there are any of them left.

4:57 am

Haz1558

I think you can all feel very happy with how the visits went. I'm even tempted to visit Cork!

4:58 am

Soodle

I'm looking for a millionaire for myself, first. If I happen to come across two, I will donate the second one to the country!

4:58 am

FMitch

Have to be off, must get ready to go out. Happy Babbling.

4:58 am

Haz1558

The only sadness was Garret Fitzgerald's death - I always had a soft spot for him.

4:59 am

Haz1558

Nice to see you, FM - hope the day goes well.

5:00 am

Soodle

Bye Mitch. Well, at least Dr Fitzgerald lived long enough to witness historic scenes. I'd say he died happy.

5:00 am

Haz1558

I hope so.

5:05 am

lynxxx

Back. Stew has sunk into depression ie sleeping (again)

5:05 am

Haz1558

Spangle sleeps a lot more these days as well.

5:06 am

Soodle

Haz, any update on Princess Bea's hat? Have you seen this picture http://tiny.cc/osagj Hilarious!

5:06 am

Haz1558

She's not nearly as ke4 to go for walks as when she was younger but I suppose you have to make allowances for her age.

5:07 am

Haz1558

It went for Â£81,100 on e-bay - can you imagine having enough money to spend that amount on a hat? I know it's for charity, but all the same!

5:07 am

lynxxx

lovely girl, all curled up by the oven

5:08 am

Haz1558

It used to be that fetching the lead sent Spangle into circulations of delight. I get that reaction occasionally, but mostly it's a kind of resigned 'Oh well, if we must'.

5:08 am

lynxxx

How old is she again?

5:09 am

Haz1558

She's 10 and a half.

5:10 am

Haz1558

There's no arthritis or anything and once we get going she's fine - especially on the return journey! It's as if she just enjoys lazing about at home and pottering about at her own pace.

5:11 am

lynxxx

my be her form of retirement - sounds just like me

5:12 am

Haz1558

I used to get a bit frustrated but she's in good health and it just seems to be her slowing up. I can't expect puppy behaviour for ever, I suppose.

5:13 am

lynxxx

Now is the time to get a pup then..Spangle can train it in all her own good habits..and you will have a walking companion

5:14 am

Haz1558

My younger daughter keeps trying to persuade me to get a new pup as well!

5:14 am

Haz1558

I can't imagine not having a dog, I'm just not convinced that I want two at a time.

5:15 am

Haz1558

I've always wanted a golden cocker...

5:16 am

Haz1558

And it's okay, no need to whisper because Spangle is so deaf she'll not hear and be offended.

5:17 am

lynxxx

pretty

5:17 am

Haz1558

They're really pretty, I know.

5:17 am

lynxxx

especially the ones with eyelashes about and inch long

5:17 am

Haz1558

In the meantime, Spangle isn't too hard on the eyes either.

5:19 am

lynxxx

lol, talk about unfaithful. You should see me looking at the greyhound site, lol.

5:19 am

Haz1558

You're just keeping your options open.

5:20 am

lynxxx

If Jess ever leaves home, I would think seriously about getting another. It is a space thing more than anything else

5:21 am

lynxxx

(my hallway can take one large dog bed - but couldn't take 2)

5:22 am

Haz1558

I know - I have a friend who has two quite large dogs in a small house. I managed to persuade her not to get a mastiff for fear you wouldn't be able to get in the front door.

5:24 am

lynxxx

brrr...wondering why I a feeling cold tonight...it's only 10.5 c

5:25 am

Haz1558

You're heading into winter, I suppose. We thought we were heading towards summer and then it changed its mind.

5:26 am

Haz1558

We've had gales and heavy rain the past day or two. It seems to have calmed down now but it was funny to see the birds clinging onto the feeders yesterday as if their lives depended on it.

5:27 am

lynxxx

we had a wet Spring and mild Summer - maybe you are getting the same

5:29 am

Haz1558

It had been amazingly dry all through April and then May turned wet - however parts of England haven't had the rain we've had and they're looking at possible water restrictions. There seems to be a real north/south divide with the weather and we're on the rainy side of it. What's new?

5:30 am

lynxxx

just more extreme weather

5:31 am

Haz1558

Our winter was certainly extreme - we're counting the cost of the snow with lots of plants, even well established conifers, perishing. The garden centre people are happy!

5:32 am

Haz1558

The Chelsea Flower Show is on this week and as usual, the growers have put on an amazing show.

5:33 am

lynxxx

and there's the reason Spangle not wanting to go out! Is your husband totally converted into house dogs now..or will a new pup be outside?

5:33 am

Haz1558

Oh, she's sleeping inside all the time now.

5:33 am

lynxxx

I always watch Chelsea on the TV. Have you ever gone?

5:34 am

Haz1558

I've never been myself but love to see the coverage.

5:34 am

Haz1558

The colours are fabulous and while you probably get to see more on TV, I imagine the fragrance of the flower tents must be magical.

5:35 am

Haz1558

It's on my list of places I want to visit if only other people weren't there to crowd me out.

5:35 am

Haz1558

If you could bribe your way into the special night when all the celebs go, it would be great - no pushing and shoving.

5:36 am

gramma

G'mornin all. I just finished and I'm ready to help if n***ed

5:36 am

Haz1558

Hello, gramma - I'm okay but thanks for asking.

5:37 am

gramma

OK then I'll be off.

5:37 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, gramma.

5:38 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, do you get the BBC coverage of Chelsea?

5:40 am

lynxxx

Not sure - def a British program so I suppose it is

5:41 am

Haz1558

It usually has Alan Titchmarsh with various guest presenters doing spots.

5:42 am

Haz1558

That's probably how the BBC makes some of its money by selling on programmes to the rest of the world. The licence fee isn't enough and they're not allowed to advertise.

5:43 am

lynxxx

They would do well out of Australia then - lots on the cable channels and of course our ABC

5:44 am

Haz1558

And gardeners all over the world just love to be inspired, don't they?

5:45 am

lynxxx

Of course

5:47 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was heading off. It's been lovely to chat, lynxxx. I miss the banter that used to happen. Things just aren't the same. Still, I'll speak to you again soon - bye for now!

5:48 am

lynxxx

Bye Haz, have a good day

5:48 am

Haz1558

And you - bye!

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all. Is anyone lurking?

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

6:08 am

grant

pssst. over here

6:08 am

movieman

OK Scrabs, you've rattled my cage enough times!!!!

6:09 am

Scrabbler

*whispering* Hi Grant. And MM too.

6:09 am

grant

Hello

6:09 am

Scrabbler

I knew that I couldn't be alone here. I am almost halfway. Lots of vowels.

6:10 am

movieman

I'm down to 16 words

6:10 am

grant

babblets aplenty

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Go MM, go!

6:13 am

redturtlehead

Good Morning Babblers!

6:14 am

movieman

hiya turtle

6:15 am

redturtlehead

How have you been Movie?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Red. So you're having surgery to repair your torn hip labrum?

6:16 am

redturtlehead

Something like that scrabbs. he is going to reshape my acetabulum and look at the labrum.

6:16 am

movieman

fine thanks, turtle

6:16 am

redturtlehead

Oddly, yesterday y pain went to 0. today its back to about a 2.

6:16 am

redturtlehead

good Moovie!

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Oh, so that is more serious surgery, having your acetabulum scooped out. What will be the recovery period?

6:18 am

redturtlehead

well, I will be on crutches for 2 weeks, then reducing...and then...probably 6-8 weeks. the deformity is small, so I think I'll beup and at em sortly.

6:18 am

redturtlehead

If the Labrum has damage...then longer.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

And big incision?

6:19 am

redturtlehead

No, they are doign it all arthroscopically. so three punctures.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Wow, that is wonderful.

6:20 am

redturtlehead

Yes, its good, but...they have to essentially dislocate the hip to get at it, so it isn;t quite the easy recovery like a knee surgery with the scope... :(

6:21 am

Scrabbler

It always sucks to ne4 surgery yet surgery can fix problems.

6:21 am

redturtlehead

I hope there is a nice big problem, the MRI was fairly inconclusive but I have had pain for so long, and then yesterday voila, it was gone for almost all day!

6:22 am

redturtlehead

I mena, i will be very annoyed if I get intubated and go through all this and find out there is nothing in there... you know what I mean?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I understand. That happened to my nephew--injured shoulder when hit head on by another teen. Things looked ok but the orthopod tightened the labrum.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

He still occ has pain and it is 28 mo later.

6:24 am

redturtlehead

yes the full recovery for the surgery is projected at 18 months.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

What activities will be permitted?

6:26 am

redturtlehead

I'll be on the bike by friday, and swimming when they take the stitches out, and I think running short distances in about 3-4 months.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Oh, that's good. It would suck to get deconditioned.

6:26 am

redturtlehead

thanks for listening to me scrabbler.

6:26 am

redturtlehead

Yeah, my coach has been planning some special workouts.

6:27 am

redturtlehead

they say it just improvems over the 18 months, andI can see that..when my hand was broken in the end it did take about 2 years to really "forget" it had been broken.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I have had my share of sports injuries as well as 4 abd/pelvic surgeries from '98-'03.

6:29 am

redturtlehead

My biggest fear is that I can not take narcotics and I may (probably) will have some serious pain.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

The longest recoveries with herniated disks and sciatica--3 episodes in my life--excruciating pain.

6:29 am

redturtlehead

funny thing is my friend is having her Gall Bladder out today, so her daughter (also a nurse) is going to camp us out and we will be recovery pals!

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I hate opiates--make me puke--so I always requested Toradol.

6:30 am

redturtlehead

I have to take Naprosyn to inhibit bone growth..

6:30 am

Scrabbler

What day is your surgery?

6:30 am

redturtlehead

Did you have surgery on the herniated discs?? that seems to be a difficult surgery.

6:30 am

redturtlehead

It is this Thursday!

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Nope---I never want back surgery.

6:30 am

redturtlehead

I'm going to work one more part of a shift today.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Well, good luck!

6:31 am

redturtlehead

yeah, I see more people with failed back surgery.

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Is it at the hospital you work at?

6:31 am

redturtlehead

OK, so I see Little one is hopefully on the mend???

6:31 am

redturtlehead

yes it is, so I get to be nude for my colleagues!

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Yes, she started dexamethasone yest in prep for extubation today. PEEP was down to 6. I hope she makes it. It will be a huge step!

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Red, for 2 of my surgeries I had 3rd yr med students do my H & Ps and be in on surgery. I gave them a perfect hx and made it so easy for them.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Red, we've se4 enough bodies to no longer care about nakedness anymore.

6:35 am

redturtlehead

Oh I know, but you know how comments get made when people are out of it. I know I've made a few...

6:35 am

redturtlehead

We have no residents. I do have confidence in the surgeon.

6:35 am

redturtlehead

I'm excited for her to get off the vent.

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, it's 0735! I have to do sports PEs at the local HS at 8. So use a marker and place a silly msg or pic on your abd!

6:36 am

redturtlehead

I took care of a 19 yr old with downs yesterday and I thought of you.

6:36 am

redturtlehead

See you later!!!

6:36 am

Scrabbler

I just adore kids with DS--so special and cute.

6:36 am

redturtlehead

I should go get ready for my part day at work too!

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Bye!

6:37 am

Hmm, I thought "silly" meant the same as "lacking sense". Oh well.

6:55 am

suefrad625

i think silly means having the sense, just not using it

6:55 am

suefrad625

word of the day: imbriferous. Rainy, showery, rain-bearing, auguring rain. From alphadictionary.com which will email you a new word every day. I like this site because there are often words I don't know (unlike most other word-of-the-day sites).

8:12 am

uusue2

let's see, mom, physicist, teacher, musician, lover, wordie, puzzler, do I have enough personalities yet? Of course they are all very sweet all the time (NOT!) :-)

9:50 am

crosshair

The first seven Presidents were not born in the United States of America. They were born in colonies that later becames states. To be eligible to become President of the United States, a person must be a natural-born citizen of the
United States and have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least 14 years. This could not be avoided with the first seven Presidents.

9:52 am

Aw, sorry to hear that Annie. How old is your car?

11:15 am

Anniebrook

ancient, 13 years old...Ford Taurus

11:16 am

MollyL

I can relate. I just got rid of a 12 year old car myself. Not worth investing any more money into.

11:18 am

Anniebrook

the mechanic said it was worth doing and I trust him but I think this will be the last big expense. $933.00 iis the amount.
Said a lot has to be done.

11:54 am

MollyL

Oh duh, I should have noticed that. Thanks Haz.

11:56 am

Haz1558

There's probably some technical reason for it but don't look to me for explanations.

11:59 am

MollyL

Certain areas of a web page are only constructed for certain dimensions. Type doesn't usually cause a problem for that but pictures notoriously do.

hi, all. some of you know I had surgery (day surgeryZ)Z about two weeks ago I called the hospital this morning, and they told me the total cost was over $20k USD

12:15 pm

carleekat

( and this is why I am greatful i live in canada ) Hi angel..hope you are feeling well :)

12:15 pm

carleekat

grateful even*

12:16 pm

Angelsong

I am ok; battling bronchitis at the moment, thanks to the tub they put down my throat during the surgery

12:16 pm

carleekat

ugh... am sorry

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

yikes angel!

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

is insurance covering most of that?

12:19 pm

carleekat

doest his mean you now owe 20K or ins coverieng it ?

12:21 pm

Angelsong

thankfully, I have good insurance.

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

Whew!

12:25 pm

carleekat

thank goodnessf or that

for* even..i cant type today

12:31 pm

When I had my knees replaced it was over $80,000 when all was said and done.

12:33 pm

Angelsong

I hate to think what the bill woud have been for a serious illness

12:34 pm

Gail

The cost of being in the ICU is about $10,000 per day.

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

i used to hire a nurse to go over the final bills of the elderly who's estates i handled because i would more than pay for her fee with duplicate and unneed costs

12:50 pm

Gail

There are lots of costly mistakes in hospital bills. Everybody should audit their bills if they can. You can ask the hospital to itemize things like OR charges and pharmacy items that are lumped into one charge.

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

in one case they had charged this comatose elderly guy with IV fluids that amounted to 3 times what anyone could handle and then 10 diapers a day. you cannot convince me that the nurses changed his diapers 10 times a day.

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

but the nurse wrote them and said that it was little wonder he needed so many diapers since they were giving him so much fluid--they ended up writing off the bill

12:59 pm
