dart001
sell the house?
12:55 am
jillibus
do tell, dee!
12:55 am
VolleymomDee
we made an offer on a property and an adjacent lot, and it was accepted...
12:55 am
dcseain
is it reasonable to expect a student taking Spanish 316 and 319 this quarter to know that a sentence in Spanish CANNOT end in a preposition?
12:56 am
VolleymomDee
nope on selling, but almost yes on buying... if everything passes inspection, we'll move forward with buying
12:56 am
jillibus
oh. super, dee!
12:56 am
dart001
congrats volley
12:56 am
rururocks
why are you moving though dee
12:56 am
dcseain
he has that because that way the cop must write vo4 on the Uniform Summons (which is a ticket here in Virginia)
12:56 am
m9f9l
who are you talking at??
12:56 am
rururocks
but congrats
12:56 am
cybernan
lol -- student's whose mother tongue is English don't know that a sentence cannot end with a preposition!
12:56 am
dcseain
oh, that's good news, dee
12:56 am
jillibus
no idea, dc -- no habla espanol (I think)
12:57 am
dcseain
m9, i'm mostly venting. if feedback were provided, special bones.
12:57 am
VolleymomDee
I am soooo incredibly excited... want to get rid of stairs ru... we have 2334 sq ft in 2 stories... this will be 2339 main floor and 1300 basement (which I wouldn't have to use)
12:57 am
jillibus
and plurals don't have apostrophes
12:57 am
VolleymomDee
pretty creative dc
12:57 am
dcseain
well, grammatically, it's like French, mostly. You don't end a usual sentence with a de in either language. hmph.
12:57 am
dcseain
true that, dee
12:57 am
rururocks
oh.. I get that dee. that's great
12:57 am
cybernan
yes -- a typo there -- noticed after I posted it
12:58 am

12:58 am

12:58 am

12:58 am

wasn't it Churchill who, after some copyeditor fixed all his sentences ending with prepositions, switched them all back ans wrote "this is the kind of impertinence up with which I will not put"

VolleymomDee
he could have preserved himself, if he left earlier

LOL... he'd better get there quick or he's a smucker
1:33 am
rururocks
hope he doesn't read back in the chat..lol

he should have clarified the time (hint clarified butter)
1:33 am
rururocks
oh groan
1:33 am
VolleymomDee
ru does your home have stairs? If so, how are you doing with stairs?
1:34 am
rururocks
you needed to have a little more margarine for that joke dee
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
LOL or more wine
1:34 am
rururocks
we only have a few short stairs..
1:34 am
rururocks
I fell the other day though
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
we have 14 steps ... hate em hate em hate em
1:35 am
VolleymomDee
glad you don't have many... that is a bummer... hurt anything or just scare you to death
1:35 am
rururocks
oh. that's tough.. I used to want a house with a second story.. but no longer
1:35 am
VolleymomDee
amazing how it changes - we have adored this house and then suddenly... not so much
1:35 am
rururocks
the main problem now is that the two of us have to clean this big place..
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
I loved having the upstairs away from company... I wasn't so tough on our daughter to keep her room spotless.. it was out of sight
1:36 am
rururocks
yeah.. your needs change with time.. this is a good move for you dee
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
how many sq feet do you have?
1:37 am
VolleymomDee
my hubby finally sounds excited... I fell labor day weekend and I think he realized then it was important. That is a lot to keep clean. A ranch?
1:37 am
rururocks
I would love a nice 2,000 square foot house nowadays
1:37 am
rururocks
we have a ranch too.. but north of here by 15 minutes
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
That's what I like about this one... I really don't have to worry about the basement, if I can't do it, it won't matter
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
2 houses?
1:38 am
rururocks
right.. unless you have a wine cellar down there...lol
1:38 am
rururocks
a cottage on 13 acres
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
he'll keep all his scotch there lol
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
lovely... do you rent it?
1:39 am
rururocks
sometimes.. mostly there for friends.. it's right on a pond
1:39 am
VolleymomDee
sounds gorgeous... we are not sure yet what we are doing with this one... on the river; gorgeous view...
1:40 am
rururocks
which river?
1:40 am
VolleymomDee
Tippecanoe, which eventually drains into the Ohio and Mississippi
1:40 am
rururocks
oh.. wow.. waterfront property is so peaceful
1:41 am
VolleymomDee
hubby was having a really tough time with losing that...
1:41 am
rururocks
<----envious..
1:41 am
VolleymomDee
we are purchasing an adjacent lot which looks toward a golf course, so that is helping him a teeny bit... he is going to miss the water
1:42 am
rururocks
these are quality of life decidions dee.. he has to support your needs
1:42 am
VolleymomDee
It is gorgeous here that's for sure... tons of wildlife
1:42 am
VolleymomDee
he is; I was delighted to see him excited today
1:42 am
rururocks
.. great... he'll learn to love the new place
1:42 am
VolleymomDee
he built this house with his own hands, so more ownership issues than normal
1:42 am
rururocks
does he golf?
1:43 am
VolleymomDee
hasn't since my dad died, but our new son-in-law is showing an interest, so who knows?
1:43 am
VolleymomDee
he lost his golfing buddy and kinda lost interest... not sure now what will happen
1:43 am
rururocks
oh.. I didn't know he built it..
1:44 am
rururocks
I understand now.. it's like losing a love
1:44 am
VolleymomDee
we are talking about putting in a pool, but we'll see... a hot tub for sure. EXACTLY!
1:44 am
VolleymomDee
Almost a death in a way.
1:44 am
VolleymomDee
I think that is why he wants to lay the wood floors himself... will make that house his.
1:45 am
rururocks
nice guy to have around.
1:45 am
rururocks
I am incapable of building anything
1:45 am
VolleymomDee
it has certainly been handy... he is incapable of doing anything mechanical, and he detests plumbing and painting, but he still can do most any of that
1:46 am
VolleymomDee
his regular job is a living, but building is fun to him
1:46 am
rururocks
i'm good at opening wine bottles and cooking.. that's about it..lol
1:47 am
VolleymomDee
love both of those! too bad you all live so far away
1:47 am
VolleymomDee
we are updating parts of the kitchen.. another reason for a delayed move...

1:48 am
rururocks
he said OMG this so good my brains could fall out..lol

1:49 am
VolleymomDee

1:49 am
VolleymomDee
compliment
1:50 am
rururocks
I made a warmed spinach salad with grilled mushroom / basalmic / mustard dressing and filets of beef with a mushroom compote and creamy potatos and a red wine sauce to die for
1:50 am
VolleymomDee
that sounds like one of my very, very favorites... I can understand his comment... I adore red wine sauce with beef
1:51 am
rururocks
there is a secret in the sauce
1:51 am
VolleymomDee
dare I ask what?
1:52 am
rururocks
you grill some mushrooms on the BBQ and sautee them with garlic and onions and pepper.. then strain off and reduce.. near the end you put in ONE spoon of blackberry jam.
1:52 am
VolleymomDee
pepper... a fruit... hmmm
1:52 am
VolleymomDee
yum yum yum
1:53 am
rururocks
it always tastes great.. it's easy too
1:53 am
VolleymomDee
I have to remember that. Does Mrs. ru cook as well as you? Your friends must beg to come to dinner.
1:53 am
rururocks
oops.. I forgot..once the onions are golden you add red wine and simmer for a while
1:54 am
rururocks
mrs ru never has to cook..
1:54 am
VolleymomDee
delightful for her
1:55 am
rururocks
I'd better head to bed..
1:55 am
rururocks
have a wonderful day tomorrow dee
1:55 am

1:55 am

oh, that's very bad pain!
2:54 am
rubyfoo
Is it bad enough to need traction?
2:54 am
rubyfoo
mr. ruby is not doing very well, frailer and frailer every day. I feel very sorry for him!
2:56 am
dizgrannie
nah no traction, but it puts me out of commission with some things.
2:56 am
rubyfoo
but he still insists on doing too much
2:57 am
dizgrannie
oh {{HUGGLES}} for Mr Ruby and you xoxo
2:57 am
rubyfoo
ty, it is hard because he's very stubborn and won't take it easy: rakes leaves, carries heavy stuff, mr. macho ruby!
2:57 am
dizgrannie
sometimes it is better if they keep doing what they think they can...if ya know what I mean
2:58 am
rubyfoo
I'm sure you're right, but it hurts me to see him struggle
2:58 am
rubyfoo
same goes for his forgetfullness. Is it better to supply the missing words and names or let him struggle for a while? I never know which to do
2:59 am
dizgrannie
I know it hurts you to see him struggle, but think of a males pride! they don't like admiting they are down.

how are you feeling?
4:08 am
sprite
rotten, to put it bluntly, lol. Overexerted myself yesterday, didn't sleep a minute last night. And this morning was very hectic, had to go to the doctor with my girl
4:08 am
sprite
poor kid had a vaccination that went wrong... 3 weeks later still a very painful and solid globule in her arm
4:09 am
sprite
thank god, doc said it is only a bloodvessel that has been hit, will disappear in about 2-3 months. Will be painful for at least 2 though. :(
4:09 am
rubyfoo
that is terrible on both counts! why can't you sleep? which kind of vaccinatin was it? Is your girl feverish?
4:09 am
sprite
and how are you today?
4:10 am
sprite
couldn't sleep because of the pain.
And vaccination is against cervical cancer.
4:10 am
rubyfoo
I'm OK, thanks, mr. ruby is not so hot but managing
4:10 am
rubyfoo
that is such a good thing, that vaccination but it's too bad she had that problem.
4:10 am
sprite
poor mr Foo. And poor ruby, for having to watch and not being able to solve the problems.
4:11 am
sprite
yeah the lady that vaccinated her, did a rotten job. Way too high on the shoulder, and very rough too. But the bloodvessel thing can happen to anyone, that is just bad luck.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
this cool weather makes my nback pain worse, but I just take my meds and keep on truckin'
4:12 am
rubyfoo
no excuse for careless shots!
4:12 am
sprite
yeah, the older I get, the more I notice how much the weather influences the pain.
4:12 am

hi, red! Haven't seen you for a while!
6:58 am

hello all, back for some more
6:58 am
redturtlehead
I've not been playing much, how are you all, hello sprite?
6:58 am
uusue2
hi, sprite!
6:58 am
uusue2
how is your hip, red?
6:59 am
redturtlehead
It is OK. I am still doing PT. and on it goes. this is why they always show Rehab as a Montage in the movies...
6:59 am
sprite
hey red, hi uusue :D How are you both?
6:59 am
sprite
lol yes red... it is so slllooooooowwwww.
6:59 am
sprite
how is pain management?
7:00 am
uusue2
yeah, if anybody had to watch a movie about rehab it would be pretty boring!
7:02 am
redturtlehead
Pain is good, I have very little pain, I got to the massage therapist once or twice a week and she hurts me a lot and then I have no pain after that. It's just that I am not allowed to run and I am started to get very upset over it...but thats the way it goes.
7:02 am
sprite
glad you are having little pain. But how do you mean, not allowed to run? Not yet? Or not at all?
7:03 am
uusue2
will you be able to run eventually?
7:04 am
redturtlehead
we assume that I will someday, it is just irritating, the first PT sort of messed up and now I am behind, even the person who had the same surgery in July is doing a little running now...he was in better shape than I being an olympian, but still..
7:05 am
sprite
aw :( Well, not to belittle your frustration at all, because it sucks big time, but I am happy you will be able to run eventually. Patience is rotten, but with hope... you will manage. *hug*
7:05 am
redturtlehead
I think it is the not knowing that gets me.
7:06 am
uusue2
glad you will be able to run at least some day! I can't any more although with exercise I can at least run across the street - couldn't even do that a few months ago
7:07 am
sprite
yeah I can imagine. But try and have faith. Stupid PT shouldn't have messed up. But you are in better hands now, it will take time but with your willpower and good help you will get there.
7:07 am
sprite
wtg uusue, that is wonderful!
7:08 am
uusue2
however I have other news that is potentially not so good - I have a lump in my thyroid that has grown since the last time they checked it so will have to look into what is going on
7:09 am
sprite
oh! Bah uusue, that is scary. {{{uusue}}} Do you have an appointment already?
7:10 am
uusue2
had an ultrasound yesterday, will call the ENT as soon as their offices open this morning
7:10 am

7:11 am

here goes my prayer for you, uusue... may it be benign, innocent and easily curable.
7:11 am
uusue2
ah, I've had both my knees replaced, granny, so if you want any tips I'll be happy to chat
7:11 am
uusue2
thx, sprite, I hope so!
7:11 am

hiya rose *hug* You will dance and run again before you know it ;)
7:12 am

thanx spritey, nearly 12 weeks since my last cigarette, off the champix, and have found a natural remedy for my fibromyalgia....so far so good
7:14 am
sprite
bye uusue, take care
7:14 am
sprite
oh wow rose! That is all good news. Tell me, what is that natural remedy?
7:15 am
grannyrose
uusue, need both knees and both hips replaced.....so when i found a pair of elbow crutches going cheap in an op shop, i bought them. *grin* too stingey to pay rental 4 times
7:16 am
grannyrose
spritey, anatrin, only available from the good ol' u.s. of a.
7:16 am
sprite
very smart, rose. A friend of mine had the same. She said the hips were a breeze after the knees.
7:16 am
sprite
ah... ok, will remember anyway and pass the word.
7:17 am
grannyrose
*giggle* haven't told my ortho about my hips yet, they only hurt after i walk about 100 feet....the knees are another scenario altogether
7:19 am
grannyrose
also recommend a cream made here in ozland...if there is an equivalent available, go for it. it's called pain away arthritis releief, has 4 main ingredients, arnica, rosemary oil, sandalwood oil and emu oil
7:20 am
sprite
oo sounds very good
7:21 am
grannyrose
anything which gets my analgesia down to just 3 panadol per day, has to be good

8:22 am

Time to get them out then Hurshy! Zack (my oldest) has very large tonsils. They aren't going to remove them unless 1) he gets multiple strep infections or 2) he has sleep apnea.

tonsils help prevent infection but apparently if you remove them other aspects of your body help take over what they were doing.

The word “pie†can be traced to the 13th century, but in the old days, the dessert was more commonly known as a “coffin†or “coffyn.†In fact, “coffin†was used in this context for 300 years before it was applied to a burial casket.
8:23 am
MollyL
Okay, gotcha River. : )
8:23 am
rubyfoo
OK ice cream for hurshy and hugs for sue
8:23 am
car.eeyore
You will have to just be very careful postop Hurshy. Adults tend to have more bleeding incidents...they think it is because adults don't have the opportunity to recuperate like kids do and we tend to use our voices and do too much.
8:24 am
hurshy
although, i do always tend to know pretty quickly when i'm getting sick, feeling something in my throat, so i know to take zinc to help fight it - maybe that feeling is in my tonsils and i would lose it! that would be bad.
8:24 am
hurshy
oh i have plenty of sick days at my job and would use them!
8:24 am
uusue2
I remember being very disappointed when I got my tonsils out because they didn't have ice cream in the hospital, only crushed ice!
8:24 am

can i get a clue for the he7 that was mentioned earlier? my monkeys are not finding it.
8:25 am

Ice cream can actually cause more chance of postop infections...but ask scrabs on that. I think it has to do with the thickness and the dairy.

4:43 pm
m9f9l
yeah. lots of cumin and I'm good. LOL
4:43 pm

mmm. cumin soup and bits of floaty veggies... I like to roast my cumin just before I cook with it.
4:44 pm

4:45 pm
stidmama
hey jellen! I read you are not feeling up to snuff today.
4:45 pm

4:46 pm
m9f9l
this just makes a little tongue glow.LOL not too spicy. I didn't put much in AT ALL
4:46 pm
stidmama
glad you're on the mend. It's a rough time of year to be feeling icky (at least for me, I prefer to be sick middle of winter when there's not much use being out and about anyway)
4:46 pm
stidmama
maybe you should send some of it to jellen too...
4:46 pm
m9f9l
it just surprised me it's as evident as it is!

So my cell phone died while we were exploring the japanese garden in golden gate park, and the ipad was close to zero this morning after I listened to radio shows all night long (to drown out the street noise -- I am so NOT a city person!)
4:52 pm
stidmama
san francisco. it's sunny and just warm enough for me to feel I am on vacation.
4:54 pm
m9f9l
it's cold but clear here
4:55 pm
stidmama
yes, Mother and I went further south to visit some relatives who are older or ailing, and then came here for a day before flying home. We have enjoyed our trip immensely, but the whole being away from home part is hard. Saw a shepherd in the park and mentioned to his owner that I was missing my Lucky -- he said I could pet "Max" but Max was afraid of my hat... *sigh*
4:55 pm
stidmama
well, at least it's clear. Tom said it was dry at home, too. Perhaps that will get the fellows outside a bit.
4:56 pm
m9f9l
interesting. Black doesn't like hats either. he especially doesn't like mirror sunglasses!
4:56 pm
m9f9l
he learned to shake paws this week.
4:56 pm

5:23 pm
jillibus
Nice, Jellen!

m9f9l
I only had to do inorganic.. yay..
5:25 pm
Jellen
And changed my profile...
5:25 pm
jillibus
histology, cytology, biochem (after organic). Our organic chem prof was a "spy" -- arrested for giving the secret of the RDX explosive to the USSR. He believed science should be shared. He was a really nice guy and good teacher.
5:26 pm
jillibus
He got out of jail only a few years ago.
5:27 pm

's a book online that talks about a professor at McDill going to prison.LOL
5:34 pm
m9f9l
Boyer? "the professor". A different book online has it as McGill.
5:36 pm
jillibus
Yes, Raymond Boyer was our organic chem prof.
5:37 pm
jillibus
and it's McGill, not McDill.
5:38 pm
m9f9l
both books said he was sentenced to 2 years.
5:38 pm

I know. I thought that was pretty funny that one book got it wrong.

Since then i'd also read about eugenics.. forgot where I was at!LOL
5:42 pm
jillibus
I remember him so well. He took a real interest in his many sudents -- used to come to the lab and chat with each person for a while -- knew everyone's name -- not easy when you have a class of about 100.
5:45 pm

Physics was not my favourite subject. And our prof was wall-eyed -- we never knew who he was looking at.

Did someone say physics?
6:07 pm
jillibus
Oops! Sorry, sue!
6:07 pm
uusue2
lol - no problem, jilli!
6:08 pm
uusue2
although there can be some advantages to students not knowing who I am looking at...
6:08 pm
uusue2
and believe me, physics is not the favorite subject of most of the students in my classes (oh well)
6:09 pm
jillibus
I had a cousin who was a nuclear physicist and he said the introductory course at McGill was a drag and if I'd continued I would have liked it much better. But I was into biological sciences.
6:10 pm
uusue2
yes, the introductory physics courses are usually tough and not exactly fascinating - but you need the background to understand the more advanced stuff.
6:11 pm
jillibus
How big are your classes, sue?
6:12 pm
uusue2
right now they are small, 25 in one and about 45 in the other
6:12 pm
uusue2
the big section is being taught by someone else
6:13 pm
jillibus
I guess they're not introductory anyway, right?
6:13 pm
jillibus
How big is the big section?
6:13 pm
uusue2
but last spring I had about 45 in one and 110 in the other, and this coming spring I'm expecting 150 in one and 25 in the other
6:14 pm
uusue2
and they are in fact introductory, the first (now) and second (spring) semester of the calculus-based introductory sequence
6:14 pm
uusue2
mostly engineers in there
6:14 pm
uusue2
the big section that I'm not teaching this fall is about 130
6:14 pm
jillibus
I never did do calculus.
6:15 pm
uusue2
some of my students are taking calculus and physics at the same time, which is really doing it the hard way
6:18 pm
uusue2
anyway, time to go home - talk to you later!
6:21 pm
jillibus
As I recall, our physics lecture auditorium was bigger than out local theatre which has 270 seats. And here's a quote from a website: "The main concern regarding McGill University in Montreal is the size of the undergraduate lecture classes which, according to one major publication, average over 550 students per class."
