I'm often just going to bed at 2 am so chose that, rather than having to take a pill at 6 am -- you know I'm not a morning person.
1:16 am
flosey
oh, yuk! jilli, but yes, it is better than getting up too early
1:17 am
rururocks
I am not a morning person either
1:17 am
VolleymomDee
do you have bronchitis jili?
1:17 am
flosey
for you, unfortunately, I have become a morning person
1:17 am
rururocks
she has bronkittytitis
1:17 am
jillibus
no, dee -- got a nasty bite from the neighbourhood cat.
1:18 am
VolleymomDee
that's right, I remember... is that all you have to do is just take antibiotic
1:18 am

wtg vanilla
1:23 am
jillibus
It was most peculiar -- he is very friendly usually and I'm very fond of him. He came into my house yesterday during the hockey game -- I don't know how he got in because no doors or windows were left open, but maybe he snuck under a new retractable screen door. He was freindly as usual and floolowed me all round the house. I thought he wanted to go out and headed for the front door with him tagging along, when all of a sudden he flew at my leg and bit hard -- blood all over the place! I managed to phone his owner just down the road and they took me to the ER where I got attended to and bandaged. Had to see the doc today for antibiotics -- cat bites are very prone to infection.
1:23 am
vanillaslice
ty flosey
1:23 am
jillibus
wd vanilla!
1:23 am
vanillaslice
maybe cats shouldn't have been invented, my birds are not keen on them
1:24 am
VolleymomDee
that is odd behavior
1:24 am
flosey
but they're usually good mousers
1:24 am
vanillaslice
thats true theres two sides to them
1:24 am
jillibus
My late cat never attacked a bird but this guy is a hunter and has decimated the quail population -- so sad.
1:25 am
flosey
I presume that's why we don't see them anymore, jilli - use to be large families of them around here
1:25 am
VolleymomDee
I am not a cat fan... probably because they make me sneeze and get stuffy
1:25 am
vanillaslice
our neighbous cat systematically wiped out a family of bandicoots
1:26 am
jillibus
there used to be lots here too, but not one this year.
1:26 am
flosey
I presume that's what happened to the new baby turkey as well
1:27 am
jillibus
This cat (name of Max) is really beautiful -- a golden Burmese.
1:27 am
flosey
hey! that's our cat's name
1:28 am
jillibus
Sorry about that, flosey!
1:28 am
flosey
named after Mt. Maxwell up the road
1:29 am
jillibus
I think this one is really a Maximus or Maximilian or something.
1:29 am
flosey
ah, well, hubby didn't like any of the usual 'kitty type' names, so that's how this came about
1:29 am
flosey

is jilli still here? that was a horrible story! did they test the cat for rabies?
3:40 am

don't think so, jilli went to bed around 2.05 grid time.
3:50 am
mrpresident
hi all :))
3:50 am
sprite
hey mrP :)
3:50 am
mrpresident
nice to see you guys!! **hugs**
3:50 am
mrpresident
hi ruby and sprite! :) **hugs**
3:51 am
rubyfoo
is it any more quiet at your house, sprite?
3:51 am
mrpresident
what has been loud in your house sprite??
3:52 am
mrpresident
I am working again 10 days after my surgery... luckily, I have super senior referees ready to take over if needed... I am not being treated like a sickling
3:53 am
sprite
am afraid not, lots of drilling today, I am kind of stressed today.
MrP: neighbours adding to their house, very very noisy and also some asocial behaviour from their builders. Has been going on for over 2 months now. Not life threatening, but not easy for someone with ptsd either.
3:53 am
sprite
sounds good, mrP. You are not pushing yourself too much, are you?
3:53 am
rubyfoo
{{poor sprite}}
3:53 am
rubyfoo
aside from the kids next door screaming at their pool which is, fortunately, only an hour a day, the loudest noise here is the birds
3:54 am
mrpresident
oh sprite! what a shitty experience/position to be in!! sorry for you. Hope you hold it together darling and take a leaf out of the 'FO' book
3:55 am
mrpresident
poor ruby! that is the time to get the ipod in with headphones, or take a coffee break out with friends
3:55 am
sprite
am holding it together, of which I am kinda proud ;) Also talked to the neighbours and got a lovely apology with flowers and all. We will manage, all of us. But will be grateful when it is over!
3:55 am
rubyfoo
it is not a big deal and otherwise, they are OK neighbors
3:56 am
rubyfoo
but I don't understand why parents allow their children to shriek outdoors
3:56 am
sprite
any latest news to add to your story, mrP? How are you feeling now?
3:56 am
mrpresident
it seems to me that neighbours on your side of the world are decent
3:57 am
mrpresident
I go nuts at my kids for screaming... they understand that there are other people on the planet that don't want to hear it!
3:57 am
sprite
some are, some are not, mrP. Ours are, luckily. They just broke our agreement a couple of times and the behaviour of their construction workers has been awful.
3:57 am
mrpresident
i did update my bio, but had another bunch of stuff come up today
3:57 am
rubyfoo
they don't seem to notice. The wife can't even talk on the hone without the children screaming in the background
3:58 am
mrpresident
I just don't like to put the negative out all the time... would like to have my babble friends think I do have half a normal/nice life, which I do.... but today was a little tragic
3:58 am
sprite
I read your bio, was wondering about new news... what came up today?
3:58 am
rubyfoo
what happened?
3:58 am
mrpresident
ruby, the wife has no control... typical 'walk-over' mother
3:59 am
rubyfoo
just dumb, I think
3:59 am
rubyfoo
and 3 boys under 7, but she has a full-time nanny
4:00 am
sprite
nannies mostly cannot raise kids. Unless they are older and experienced, but usually they are barely out of their teens themselves.
4:00 am
mrpresident
there was no way in hell I could go to CJC court to face my stalker... just cried for days before... so am asking the court for a formal injunction to get him out of my life... I have to go to court on Tuesday to explain why I don't want to mediate with my stalker
4:00 am
mrpresident
nannies let them run free... be 'themselves'... and forget about other people on the planet
4:01 am
rubyfoo
if she gave me the boys for 15 minutes, I would sort them out, tell them to save the screaming for emergencies. This nanny is from Senegal or someplace and speaks worse French than I do.
4:01 am
mrpresident
is there any reason on the planet I would want to sit in the same room as my stalker, obsessed freak who is responsible for my car bombing and house being set on fire??
4:02 am
sprite
mrP, forgive me for prying, but what exactly happens with you when you think about facing your stalker?
4:02 am
rubyfoo
I agree with you MrP; mediation might make him stop for a while, but wouldn't solve his craziness regarding you
4:02 am
mrpresident
I shake, I cry, I collapse
4:03 am
mrpresident
I have been taken to hospital, totally unaware that the ambulance was there to take me to hospital...
4:04 am
mrpresident
there is nothing that stops an obsessed freak. He would get off on having me sit there being scared of him
4:04 am
sprite
I see... I asked because it might be possible you suffer from ptsd yourself. Being stalked with such violent actions can cause a severe trauma. And with your other issues going on, it wouldn't be strange if you were more vulnerable anyway. It might be wise to consult with a good psychiatrist if this might be the case.
4:06 am
mrpresident
I am sprite... and my doctor and psych are saying 'NO' to meeting with him
4:06 am
sprite
and it might help your case if you could make clear how severely you have been traumatised by the jerk.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
that is all so terrible, mrp; nobody deserves to go through all that!
4:06 am
sprite
ok, let them put it in writing and add it to the court papers. You need to be protected, not subjected to more trauma.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
I have to go and join DH....we all have our crosses to bear, however small! haha
4:07 am
sprite
have fun, rubyfoo ;) And send him my regards.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
And Sprite, I cleaned my computer, actually took apart the tower but that wasn't the problem. |My son thinks it needs a new fan (diagnosed from Texas, BTW)
4:07 am
sprite
yes, that is the next step, rubyfoo. If cleaning doesn't help, the fan itself might be broken.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
{{big hugs, sprite and mrp}} see you later
4:10 am
sprite
mrP: ptsd can be treated very well, especially shortly after the trauma occurred. I hope you have good help. If you and your 'team' can help you to feel empowered again, in control and ready to take on the guy, it would be great. Until that time, protect yourself. (Sorry to go preachy, it is something I feel strongly about.)

4:37 am
SaddySolar

4:37 am

lol they are adding to their home. It is noise from construction work.
4:37 am
SaddySolar
make some of your own when they go to sleep
4:37 am
sprite
lollllll thanks for making me laugh!
4:37 am
SaddySolar
hahah i thought they were the loud party sort
4:38 am

no, that would be easier to handle, indeed. But, as the ancient wise man said: This too shall pass.

what used to make me cringe as a teacher and parent, was the little girls in make-up
8:14 am
Mom

9:39 am
mrpresident
i have tiger balm, voltaren gel, etc... and wrap. No way I want a cast!!
9:40 am
doxy1lover
just be careful with the balms and gels under the wrap. You definately don't want heat with the balms
9:40 am
crosshair
crossy loves adaptec.does not stick to open wounds,has the antibiotic right in the pad
9:40 am
doxy1lover
Ice may help also
9:41 am
mrpresident
oooh, i have been using heat... should change to ice
9:41 am
doxy1lover
heat can cause burns with the balms and gels.
9:42 am

I will wash off the balm and apply ice gel instead

alternating heat and ice is good. You can also find a wrist brace, works better than wrapping. We find them here in pharmacies
9:52 am

Hi all. I've been lurking but had to speak up. I'm in Vancouver and am so embarassed by the riot. It was a core group of troublemakers who were going to cause problems no matter what. Nothing to do with hockey.
11:43 am
rururocks
I think those Vancouverans are just excitable people..
11:44 am
Maryte
Hi Shelley....Shelley33 is my co-worker (and friend) She is also Canadian and a new Babbler...she is a Bruins fan but we tolerate her.....:0)
11:44 am

There are some great Canadians playing for the Bruins.
11:44 am

incidentally, the citizens of Vancouver are pitching in to clean up: http://bigthink.com/ideas/38919
11:45 am

Hey Mags you tolerate me because you love me and yes 17 great Canadians play for the Bruins :)
11:45 am
Maryte
Your right ShelleyR.....it is not a reflection on the city...
11:45 am
Shelleyr
13,000 Vancouver citizens spontanously showed up downtown yesterday to clean up from the riot. That's the true Canadian spirit!
11:45 am

absolutely not a refelction on the city - i'd still love to visit!

{{crossy}} I bit the bullet, unplugged the monster, oopened it, cleaned out (very little) dust and I don't think the problem is totally solved
12:17 pm
crosshair
did you remove the motherboard fan and clean the heat sink slots behind it?
12:18 pm
crosshair
it will be held on by a clip or 4 phillips screw
12:20 pm
crosshair
otherwise the only other reason for random shut downs a restarts is voltage irregularity or a potential part pailure
12:20 pm
rubyfoo
my son, diagnosing by telephone, thinks that the fan may have croaked
12:20 pm
crosshair
failure
12:20 pm
crosshair
is the fan coming on under load?
12:21 pm
crosshair
when runnunbg video etc?
12:21 pm
rubyfoo
he asked questions about the power source, but decided that wasn't the problem
12:21 pm
crosshair
running
12:21 pm
rubyfoo
and it hasn't shut down all day today, fingers crossed (or crossied)
12:22 pm
crosshair
if not the fan is only held on by 4 screws,remove those and the wire to the board is a 3 pin variety.unplug that and take note of where it was plugged in.take the fan to a computer shop or similar parts store..it will cost inder 0 dollars for a new fan
12:22 pm
rubyfoo
runnunbg video sounds like it's from Sierra Leone.....
12:23 pm
crosshair
leave computer off when fan is removed of course
12:23 pm
crosshair
is the fan coming on?
12:23 pm
rubyfoo
omg, PB for me, I forgot that was a word
12:23 pm
crosshair
relax my dear..is the fan running at all?
12:23 pm
crosshair
nm the pb hehe
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
if it's off, how do you know if it's running?
12:24 pm
crosshair
leave the side of,and see if it runs when watching video etc
12:24 pm
crosshair
sigh...
12:25 pm
crosshair
we need to diagnose if the fan works or not,or you stand a real chance of frying your cpu chip
12:25 pm
rubyfoo
<-- loves crossy
12:26 pm
crosshair
and if you fry the chip,you can toss the entire tower in the garbage...;((

byt make sure that fan is working,if not replace the fan
12:29 pm

most 2 and 3 inch cpu fans are rated for 50,000 hours(about 3 years) but many do not make it to 2 years of age before they fail
12:30 pm

thanks robbie, if the inhaler, prednisone, etc should do the trick. If I used the inhaler right -- never had one before today.
1:01 pm
robbie09
did you ever figure out what you were allergic to stidmama?
1:02 pm

I have actually stopped coughing and my chest stopped hurting. I am a little spacey from the meds though -- which is why I am home.

The highest temperature ever recorded on earth was a searing 136° F. The scorcher occurred in Al Aziziyah, Libya on September 13, 1922.
1:02 pm
stidmama
No, never did figure out the trigger from this event -- possibly there was a mint plant in the garden that I touched, although I never planted one down there. Can't think what else might have done it
1:02 pm
crosshair
tc all and happy babbling...poink!
1:02 pm
stidmama
((((cross)))) now my day is complete and I am smart again! LOL
1:03 pm

Well, the prednisone should help keep poison ivy away.
1:03 pm
robbie09
Yikes! that's hot crossy1
1:03 pm
stidmama
and everything else, too! LOL BR, when I read the insert for that one I thought it will probably make the hip pain better too. That would be a welcome side effect! Not sure about the promised nausea though...
1:04 pm
robbie09
Yes, hope the meds make you feel better soon,stidmama!
1:05 pm
o-o
A friend is prescribed prednisone for Crohn's disease .. but then the docs always want to wean her off of it.... gets hard to do after awhile.
1:05 pm
stidmama
yep, that's the plan robbie -- what is a "tuxedo cat?"
1:05 pm
robbie09
a black and white kitty:)
1:06 pm
stidmama
my prescription for prednisone is only for a few days, enough to get the lungs to stop swelling so the other meds can work.
1:06 pm
stidmama
Ah -- thanks. Thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure. LOVE cats but allergic (of course)
1:07 pm
robbie09
Oh that's good stid, because my son took that for poison ivy, and it made him very hungry!
1:07 pm
robbie09
I'm allergic to horses and guinea pigs, and hay 9so i have to be careful around large animals)
1:08 pm
stidmama
I probably shouldn't jinx myself, but I haven't had any poison ivy issues since we left Virginia over 30 years ago. None in our yards here, and I don't tend to go into the woods much
1:08 pm
stidmama
yes, the hay in horse barns sometimes makes me feel strange -- though I have never been sure if that was a true allergy or just the dustiness.

6:45 pm
stidmama
Nef -- I caved in this morning and went to urgent care. Why do people wait so very long to go see docs and get their ailments addressed? *hangs head shamefacedly*
6:45 pm
carleekat

6:45 pm
Nef
what did they find, stid?
6:45 pm
stidmama

6:46 pm
Soodle
<--------------what Carlee said!!!!
6:46 pm
stidmama
that thing that's like asthma but not asthma. restricted airway? I am a little fuzzy at the moment.
6:46 pm
Nef

6:46 pm
carleekat

6:46 pm
Soodle
Fuzzy's ok.
6:46 pm
mrpresident
stid... shall I come up there and smack you up the side of the head?? ((hugs))
6:46 pm
stidmama
it started Monday, the day after the bad allergic reaction - I kept wheezing and coughing for no reason. And yes, I am breathing better now, but my body isn't used to these drugs
6:47 pm
stidmama
LOL mrp! can only help!
6:47 pm
mrpresident
my unicorns will be there shortly!! and my little hazy fairies will deal with you missy!!
6:47 pm
Nef
maybe you aren't used to good old 21% O2 in the air??? ;-)
6:48 pm
Soodle
Originally the stern Mama look directed at Stiddy, but open to all alternatives :-)
6:48 pm
stidmama
could be! *grin*
6:48 pm
Nef
reactive airway?
6:48 pm
stidmama
THAT's the term. Yes... can you translate?
6:48 pm
Nef
what was your reaction to? Did they ever find out?
6:49 pm
carleekat
i want a beer....actually i want alot of beer and i dont normally like beer...
6:50 pm
Nef
you are hypersensitive to something; but they don't know why or what
6:50 pm
Soodle
Hmm. Carlee, I can offer you a glass of wine, or a glass of
6:50 pm
Soodle
Baileys....
6:50 pm
carleekat
i have wine....
6:50 pm
carleekat
i dont want wine
6:50 pm
mrpresident
why beer? is it hot there tonight?
6:50 pm
Nef
(it's a very non-specific term; but it feels awful anyway)
6:50 pm
stidmama
I have no idea -- I was in the garden working, no significant pollen in the air, no particular smoke or chemicals. I started to feel a little tired and went in to the house. Next thing I know my left arm has hives and is swelling (no breathing problems at that point), so I took an arse-load of benadryl and went to bed with ice on the arm and stayed there the rest of the day. No significant other anaphylaxis that day, but the coughing started on Monday (when I woke up too groggy to trust myself to drive to school)
6:50 pm
carleekat
no..i just feel like having a guinness
6:51 pm
stidmama
Usually I get anaphylaxis to food items, and haven't had contact dermatitis in years.
6:51 pm
stidmama
So it's a mystery.
6:51 pm
carleekat
scary mystery
6:51 pm
Soodle
Shit, Stid. That sounds horrible. Poor you!
6:51 pm
Nef
insect bite or sting? (being it was in the 1 arm...
6:51 pm
stidmama
Not fun, no. I don't like random allergic things.
6:52 pm
mrpresident
I made up a glass of vodka and agrium (blood orange)... went to sit outside with the dog... spilt the whole bloody glass...
Poured another, sat down, spilt the whole bloody glass again! Gave up and had water
6:52 pm
stidmama
No sign of insect damage, I did look.
6:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
re8 pls?
6:52 pm
mrpresident
wow stid!! hope they find the cause!!
6:52 pm
stidmama
ah, mrp -- the universe is helping you! :-D
6:53 pm
Nef
I found out I'm allergic to yellowjackets and 2 types of hornets last week and will have to go through the 15-20 week immunotherapy shots to de-sensitize me
6:53 pm
carleekat
my mum developed an allergy to black current bushes..not the berries..just the bush..if the leaves rubbed up against her skin she broke out all over
6:53 pm
stidmama
TO, love that is not met is unre***ed, this is a "meeting" of emotion
6:53 pm
Soodle
Carlee - have you ever tasted Giuinness? Proper guinness?
6:54 pm
carleekat
yes..i have....and i drink it room temp
6:54 pm
stidmama
it could be something like that carlee -- for a change I wasn't wearing long sleeves. But it would be a new thing if that's the case, we don't even have poison ivy in the yard!
6:54 pm
stidmama
guinness. hmmmm....
6:54 pm
Nef
that was my next suggestion; some sort of allergic reaction to something (similar to poison ivy; but maybe to juniper bushes or???)
6:54 pm

I like strawberries, but raspberries are my current favorite
6:56 pm
MollyL
I feel cleansed by the blood of my ancestors that I can do Harp and any sort of Irish whiskey. My other non-Irish distortion is that I'm not much on tea.
6:56 pm
Nef

6:56 pm
stidmama

6:56 pm

6:57 pm
mrpresident
hi stidg! :)
6:57 pm
stidmama
Tom is home, he will take Matthew to a friend's in Lacey. Trying to decide if I want to go along and go to a restaurant. Since I am on the prednisone and such it's probably the safest time to eat out!
6:57 pm
carleekat
not much irish blood in me..english and scot with a smattering of irish back there somewhere... i hate tea... love guinness and tenants... and i love a good whiskey
6:58 pm

7:12 pm
MollyL
I know someone who's future husband pulled off on the side of the road and took her hand so that they could dance in the rain. Every time I hear John Michael Montgomery's " I Love The Way You Love Me" I think of her.

7:16 pm
MollyL

1st ar6/18 is a ring of color around the nipple & latin plural for the ar 7/28. 2nd ar 6/18 word is like first, but ends with different vowel and ar7 is regular plural
10:59 pm

11:00 pm
westford
I knew it was a fish
11:00 pm
Minveryork

11:01 pm
westford

11:02 pm
westford
you should get your teenagers to play babble
11:05 pm
Minveryork
I don't know if they would have access to a computer
11:06 pm
westford
I was thinking of the teacher in Denmark who lets the kids babble and all they do is turn into little trolls
11:06 pm
westford
haven't seen them for awhile..teacher probably got wise to them
11:07 pm
westford
shame too because it's a good way for them to practice their English
11:07 pm
westford
I'm mixing up my tenses but you get the drift
11:08 pm
Minveryork
They're in the United States for a couple of weeks to attend the summer program and then they return to their countries. They stay in college dorm rooms at a college and the program is filled with activities. They have 3 hours of classes in the morning and 3 hours of sports related activities and field trips in afternoon.
11:08 pm
Minveryork
In addition, they go on field trips every weekend too.
11:09 pm
westford
that sounds great min I'll bet they'll be super students
11:09 pm
westford
what a nice opportunity for them
11:10 pm
westford
do you know the countries they'll be from?
11:10 pm
Minveryork
My job this summer is teaching classes&chaperoning the field trips. Seems like a very busy & fun program for the students.Hopefully it'll be that way for me too
11:11 pm
westford
I used to love to go on field trips with my kids' classes saw things I never would have seen
11:11 pm
Minveryork
Was told that they will be from all different countries
11:12 pm
westford
are you supposed to speak only English to them?
11:12 pm
westford
or will you learn too
11:13 pm
Minveryork
Actually,I really don't like field trips. But I think it will be different for a summer program. The go into NYC every Wednesdays&they go every Saturday&Sunday.
11:14 pm
westford
just keep an eye on them..they tend to wander
11:14 pm
Minveryork
I'll HAVE TO speak only English;ONLY language I speak
11:15 pm
westford
I'll bet they have a good handle on the language already
11:15 pm
westford
