Hello ruby.

hello scouser!

2:16 am

rubyfoo

our friends from No. Wales (he's a scouser) are coming in January

2:16 am

rubyfoo

how re you?

2:17 am

scouser

I have been very busy in the gardens: have shifted a giant skipload of leaves and rubbish this week: still more to do as ever

2:18 am

scouser

visitors with accent?

2:18 am

rubyfoo

actually, he has one (*slight) but she is German, just sys things like "crikey"

2:20 am

scouser

Yes we have lots of exclamatory words. and there is the famous sensa yumor

2:20 am

rubyfoo

love it! she uses the English expletives to sound less foreign

2:26 am

scouser

slight pause here while I do the m's

2:29 am

2:29 am

Scrabbler

Hi Dan.

6:17 am

dan2bit

'lo Scrabbs

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I saw a toddler last wk that reminded me of your little one.

6:18 am

dan2bit

oh? hope she's feeling better

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I think it was a well child visit. But we are seeing lots of sick kids with the usual cold, cough stuff. Nothing serious.

6:20 am

dan2bit

so far knock wood we have been spared, though mrs2bit has some kind of cough she can't shake

6:20 am

Scrabbler

October thru March = one long respiratory illness season.

6:21 am

dan2bit

baby2bit's vocabulary is leaping forward, though she sometimes struggles to be understood. She knows her animals and some shapes and colors, and she even recognizes a few letters

6:21 am

dan2bit

starting to climb up on stuff as well :-)

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Wow! We expect colors and shapes to be known at 3. I know entering kindergartners that do not know many letters. I am most fascinated by language development in toddlers. It is amazing, especially when they hit that "explosion" of vocabulary and linking words. And, yes, they are monkeys.

6:24 am

dan2bit

She's a daily wonder :-)

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Kids are neat although some stages are more challenging than others.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Well, I passed halfway, so at 71/70 I must get ready to head to the ofc. Enjoy the day, Dan.

6:26 am

dan2bit

you too scrabbs!

Hey Trif

6:46 am

Trifioso

6:46 am

MollyL

Annie, if you're around, you have been missed. I hope you're feeling better.

6:47 am

MollyL

And I bet the dog will continue to stare at you until something is done about that. : )

6:47 am

Trifioso

I am sure you are right there, molly mcgee, but they are going to have to wait until tea time - bit of an abuse sitation, really

6:48 am

MollyL

Massachusetts woman starves dog - details at 11

6:48 am

Trifioso

6:50 am

Trifioso

dr god, I know what you are up to! there is no r word at ALL from the r in the fourth column! It's just a mean joke!

6:51 am

MollyL

Well Trif, there is. But I swear, I thought it was a proper noun.

6:51 am

Trifioso

oh. yes. my bad.

6:52 am

MollyL

Why will Enable take that word and not "norse"? Oops, there I go, trying to figure out the unfigureable.

6:52 am

Trifioso

amen, amen! or why senor, but not herr!

6:53 am

Trifioso

anyhooo (said in my best "mom" voice....) what's wednesday looking like for you dear molly?

6:55 am

MollyL

Just a normal day, which is good. Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and it was my son's birthday so it was busy, busy, busy.

6:55 am

MollyL

How about you?

6:56 am

Trifioso

whew! yes, today is looking pretty okay for me too. Nice quiet morning, therapy appt, work, time with kids.

6:57 am

Trifioso

this evening might be a challenge. primo is done with exams, but his father asked him to housesit, so he is staying there for a week before he comes home properly. my youngest daughter has been begging me for months to come see her room at her dad'

6:57 am

Trifioso

dad's house, and Iam thinking I might go over there tonight, since the man of the house is away and all

6:59 am

MollyL

Oh that should be interesting.

7:00 am

Trifioso

yes. I am on the fence about it, but feel as if there will never be a good time, but this might be the best time, if you get what I mean

7:00 am

MollyL

Yes, and I agree. Did you get the Christmas thing sorted out?

7:01 am

Trifioso

sort of. he agreed to let them stay with me until 2:30, which is very good

7:01 am

MollyL

That's good. I'm glad he budged a little.

7:01 am

Trifioso

good lawd - dont'

7:02 am

Trifioso

have glasses on, so just figured out there are 30 f words. I don't think I even KNKOW 30 f words...just usually use the one....tee hee

Trifioso

7:17 am

car.eeyore

It was during Children's Time at church last year. My son had the Wonder Box and brought in his mythical creatures. God Bless her, Pastor Stacey worked them into a story for the kids and put them on the altar.

Ice cream for Hurshy!!!

8:07 am

they are quite large and may be part of the reason i have so much trouble sleeping, obstructing the air flow.

8:08 am

crosshair

yes,if you can avoid the cpap machine do it!! mine drives me crazy!!

8:08 am

debjed

not finding the il

8:08 am

hurshy

i wouldn't be having cpap, i don't have apnea, just upper airway restriction

8:09 am

JBV

it's an 8-point word, does that help deb?

8:09 am

crosshair

apnea IS airway restriction:)

8:09 am

crosshair

but i get your drift

8:09 am

hurshy

my other option is a mouthguard the dentist would make that would push my jaw forward. i can always do that too if the tonsil thing doesn't work.

8:09 am

debjed

yep, thank you ;)

8:09 am

hurshy

well they apparently differentiate cause they told me it wasn't apnea.

8:10 am

crosshair

research those mouthguards well,i hear of law pain and alteration of the orientation of your teeth over time

8:10 am

crosshair

jaw

8:10 am

hurshy

well i'm going to try the tonsil thing first anyway.

8:11 am

crosshair

the cpap is such a pain,i looked into thouse mouthguards

8:11 am

uusue2

yeah, I think I'd take the tonsillectomy over the mouth guard, at least it's a one-time thing

8:11 am

uusue2

hope it works for you!!

8:11 am

hurshy

yeah more invasive but then you're done, that was my thought.

8:11 am

crosshair

and you can have all the ice cream you want:))

8:12 am

i'm hoping to do it right after christmas. then if there is a fr5 incident and i die during routine surgery, i'll die happy cause it was just christmas and i was with my family. :)

well, crossy, you have inspired me to go in for what is supposed to be my annual skin check

our friend here cut her finger yesterday and had to go to a walkin clinic to get it stitched up. They had to pay $160 before the doctor even saw her, and by the time they left, 3 stitches, a bandage and a tetanus shot later, the bill was $575 -- pure robbery!

well i'm off to catalogue some more books. anyone need some nice, unusual used books, i'm having a big sale at my online store, www.gwenfoss.com bye 8-)

10:29 am

crosshair

i know that in the states a lot think"why should i pay for him or her with my takes? i work,i can afford blue cross" but we do not think like that,we all pay cause we may not need it now,but we will need it sooner or laterand small things do not get put off tyill they become big charity hospital things

10:29 am

cybernan

Just goes to show though, why travel insurance for the US is 4x more than for everywhere else!

10:29 am

crosshair

taXES

10:30 am

crosshair

then you pay even more

10:30 am

uusue2

I agree with you, crossy!

10:31 am

cybernan

anyone have the stats for the 8-9?

10:32 am

crosshair

we have a u.s friend with diabetes,and his toes were all numb and was getting discolouration and other issues,he waited and waited,now it is gangrene and he lost the leg..how much did that cost at the charity hospital?

10:33 am

uusue2

also the only reason that the vast majority of Americans have health insurance at all is because they get it from their employers, something that the Repubs are also going after - maybe that will wake people up although I am not holding my breath

well what about the burger jockeys and waitresses? do they get health care on the job,what if they get injured?

10:34 am

Erda

YW Nan!

10:34 am

cybernan

latin prefix for what we breathe, sug

10:35 am

Judi

Mmm. uusue - repubs are not going after health care. They are trying to repeal ObamaCare, which is going to bankrupt everyone - business owners, insurance companies and individuals.

10:36 am

crosshair

i do not know anything about the political factions down there at all sue,but it make sense medically to fix small things before they become big things

10:37 am

cybernan

even more sense to provide prevenative care

10:37 am

crosshair

indeed

10:37 am

uusue2

there has been talk of removing the requirement that employers provide health insurance, Judi, which is the only reason most of us have insurance at all - it is not a major part of the platform yet as far as I know but has certainly been discussed

10:37 am

crosshair

bizzare..boggles the mind

10:37 am

Nef

We are going to go basnkrupt with our current system already, Judi. This country needs some sort of insurance program for everyone for preventive medicine

10:38 am

Judi

There are lots of ideas floating around about what to do with health care. I'm still waiting to hear a really good idea.

10:38 am

crosshair

the old"i make over 3o g,s and have health care,why should i pay for the kid with a Mcjob?"

10:39 am

cybernan

health care in the US would not be nearly so prohibitive if Doctors had a cap on their salaries to bring them more in line with salary scales for other professionals

10:39 am

Nef

Obama's original health plan had a one-payor system for everyone for basic health care that was nixed by the Republicans back at the start of all of this.

10:39 am

crosshair

ours is a long way from perfect,but if you fall down and break your hip,you do not lose your home to bills

10:39 am

uusue2

my former orthopedic surgeon worked in a practice with 8 doctors - they had a full-time staff of 6 to deal with all the different insurance companies - that is a big part of the problem, IMHO

10:40 am

Judi

There is a great deal of Medicare fraud and other types of misuse and abuse of the health care system by individuals, business, doctors and other providers. Nipping that in the bud would save millions for everyone.

10:40 am

crosshair

everyone pays at tax time..done..finito

10:41 am

Nef

not to mention the fact tha most docs have student loans often topping $200, 000 and they won't ever earn that much in years

10:41 am

Matches

clue for ne 6/18 please

10:41 am

uusue2

anyway, most go to the office, more lectures to write! bbl!

10:42 am

crosshair

tc suze;)

10:42 am

cybernan

nef - at almost $600 to stitch up a finger, they should be able to pay off their loans in 1 year!!!

10:42 am

Nef

the fraud is a HUGE burden for all of us! They catch about 60 million per year of Medicare fraud alone! Imagine what they don't catch!

10:43 am

Judi

Socialized health care for the US is not a viable option. It is a proven failure for the UK and Canada. We should not make the same mistakes others have made and expect a different result.

10:43 am

crosshair

cyber nan,i know our doc bills a min of 200 dollars to ohip for a visit,doies not matter if it is a splinter or your arm is just hanging by a flap of skin..200 per person per visit

10:44 am

crosshair

judi..i am alive and sitting here only because of this health plan...

10:44 am

cybernan

Medicare is not a failure in Canada -- when I see people being wiped out my medical bills down here, I am so thankful that I live in Canada!

10:44 am

pcal2

Matches, it is adj form of ne4

10:44 am

Nef

nan; I'm not denying that at all. Insurance companies tell the docs what they will pay; so anyone who isn't insured is billed at full price. (An insurance company says "you can bill whatever you want for that finger; WE will pay $60).

10:44 am

crosshair

indeed cybernan

10:45 am

Judi

I guess it depends on your definition of "successful".

10:45 am

crosshair

all my medical for my 3 cancers i am sure would of topped $300,000 or more not counting specialists in the big hospitals in the city

10:45 am

i am alive..i call that a success

10:46 am

ty pcal. I was going in he wrong direction

Judi -- my husband needed open heart surgery two years ago -- the cost to us for a quintuple bypass, air ambulance transport, pre-tests, post-op care and 7 days in the hospital was $40.00

10:47 am

cybernan

And the wait time for the surgery was 36 hours

10:47 am

Judi

I will agree that medical expenses in the US are vastly over-priced. Doctors are over-burdened with regulatory paperwork and overhead to deal with health insurance companies.

10:47 am

crosshair

now cybernan and i will be the first to say,it is not perfect,but her husand and i am alive

10:48 am

Nef

I think many Americans think that Canadian medical care is worse than it is. They hear a few horror stories about it and condemn it without realizing how our system is failing us (of course; those same people have insurance)

10:48 am

Judi

Also, we have corporate suits instead of real doctors at the insurance companies making decisions on what tests and procedures may be done by doctors. Wrong wrong wrong.

10:48 am

crosshair

it is easy to speak when you have a policy tucked in the safe next to the fabrege eggs

10:49 am

crosshair

we treat everyone..

10:49 am

no matter what

10:49 am

I feel cheated. I only have hen eggs.

10:49 am

poor judi

10:49 am

and our children get free preventative care

10:50 am

yup

10:50 am

Judi

The lunch bell is chiming in my head. Off to eat. *POOF*

10:50 am

crosshair

my son get preventative dental

10:50 am

cybernan

our kids did in PQ but not in BC

10:51 am

Nef

very true about the suits; Judi. And don't forget how sue-happy our population is too; malpractice insurance is unbelieveable here! A friend is a CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife) and no longer works as a CNM but rather as an RN because her malpractice insurance costs more than she makes in a year. (She had a birth with a child having cerebral palsy so they sued her)

10:51 am

crosshair

here nef,there are waivers for every procedure,you dont sign,you do not get treated,so put yer pet lawyer away lol

10:52 am

cybernan

that is a very big problem down here, I am told, Nef

10:52 am

cybernan

Also, the medical profession informs you of every little thing that could possibly go wrong or complicate things on that waiver

10:53 am

crosshair

the doctor did surgery on my seminoma,but now i have no feeling in lparts of my groin area.but i am alive..a good trade -off

10:53 am

crosshair

the chemos saved me on my lymphnoma but i have no feeling in my toes or finger tips..but i live

10:54 am

crosshair

no lawsuit.no reason to

10:55 am

cybernan

mmm --- maybe my friend should sue the homeowner they are renting from because the knife she cut herself with was so sharp ;)

10:55 am

crosshair

lol

10:55 am

crosshair

there are always risks,and here you sign that you are aware of these risks

10:56 am

cybernan

need clues for the 8 and 9 -- help please

10:56 am

crosshair

my da had colon cancer,the treatment was a ten new insertion of a dozen radioactive "seds" into his body,he had to pee them out and catch them in a seive,one of the listed side effects was death!

10:57 am

crosshair

then

10:57 am

Deeha

think the 9 is the word before it plus a movie

10:58 am

uusue2

ok, I decided to work from home :-)

10:58 am

crosshair

yaa for suze!

10:59 am

uusue2

and nef, I think if people were assured that they would have access to health care they would not be quite so anxious to sue for medical "malpractice"

10:59 am

crosshair

we have some tinkering to do with it to be sure,but we are getting there

10:59 am

uusue2

(I put that in quotes because there is some real malpractice but also there are things that go wrong that are nobody's fault)

11:00 am

cybernan

mm, can't be minifilm

11:00 am

uusue2

ooh, you are SOOOO close, nan!

11:00 am

cybernan

ah -- smaller than that

11:00 am

cybernan

ty deeha

11:00 am

crosshair

for example,we are thinking on a co-pay of 20 dollars or so,so that we do not fill up triage with runny noses

11:00 am

crosshair

smaller than mini

11:01 am

cybernan

I suppose the fo 8 is ahead of something

11:01 am

Nef

sorry was on the phone. Almost all systems have patients sign operative or treatment permits here too. The ones I've seen have all included all the risks and complications for the procedure; plus they have this funny little phrase about "the practice of medicine is not a guarantee" of good outcomes. But people still sue

11:01 am

crosshair

strange

11:02 am

uusue2

but do they win, nef?

11:02 am

uusue2

I looked into suing when an MRI was misread and I spent a year in pain, chasing phantoms - was told that unless I had permanent damage I would never win

11:02 am

crosshair

and we have a bed shortage,our triage has 25 "beds" at any given time 20 are full waiting room vacancies and 5 are in continual rotation in trauma..so not perfect

11:03 am

uusue2

(I came *this* close to being permanently paralyzed - was VERY lucky)

11:03 am

Nef

a lot of insurance companies will settle out of court, sue, just to get the nuisances out of the way. So yes, in a way, they do win

11:03 am

cybernan

we have a whole new floor in our hospital that has not been opened because there are not enough doctors and nurses (they train here and go to the states where they can make more money)

11:04 am

crosshair

we also have empty rooms due to the brain drain last decade.all the new nurses got courted by u.s facilities

11:05 am

crosshair

but we are recovering in that area now somewhat

11:05 am

Nef

a year of pain sounds terrible, sue.

11:05 am

crosshair

poor sue:(

11:06 am

cybernan

fo 8, please?

11:07 am

Nef

not to mention paralysis! You were lucky! BTW, all insurances give the patient the right for a second opinion (but not necessarily a thrid opinion)

11:07 am

crosshair

of course we could stop that by stipulating that degrees earned in canada are only valid in canada..whee! that would stir up the hornets nest!

11:08 am

uusue2

I was on a PPO plan then, nef, so could go almost anywhere, trouble is once you have an MRI most doctors look at the report and not at the pictures

11:08 am

crosshair

knock on wood,i have been very lucky with all my mri,s

11:10 am

uusue2

knocking on lots of wood for you today, crossy :-)

11:10 am

Nef

that's sad, sue. For every one of the CT's and MRI's DH and I have had; I always ask the docs to pull them up and explain them to me (then again; I sort of know what looks right and wrong)

11:10 am

crosshair

ty sue

11:11 am

Nef

crossy; sending lots of luck and prayers and thoughtsfor a good checkup today.

11:11 am

we get a computer disk(well i do anyways) that has all my ct scans,mri,s and x-rays that have been done in the last ten years,i just carry them wherever an appt takes me

11:11 am

uusue2

when I finally got the doc to look at them (after almost a year) his eyes bugged out, couldn't believe that they had missed it

11:12 am

crosshair

what did they miss suze?

11:12 am

Nef

I just realized what time it is and need to get moving now. Too much to do and too little time (and I'm too addicted to Babble to get everything done this week!)

11:12 am

11:13 am

i had spurs in my ankle and can relate a tiny bit,must of been agony in the neck though

11:13 am

uusue2

when the right doc finally saw the pictures I was in surgery 6 days later, at 4:00 in the afternoon (!)

11:13 am

Nef

ALWAYS ask for a copy of the MRI's and CT's (we get the disks and typed reports all the time)

11:13 am

crosshair

and trhe compression must of given you massive leg and arm aches and the radial nerve must of been going nuts

11:13 am

Ah yes. No, I am not a Zsa Zsa wannabe.

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

i must admit that was a really amazingly sad clown

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

hello jmc and everyone!

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

just got to having 48 words myself

6:04 pm

kje

is that actually a pciture of you as a clown???

6:04 pm

kje

hiya red

6:04 pm

jmcnrick

ha ha no i found it on the internet but it was the saddest clown i ever saw--made emmit kelly look carefree

6:05 pm

MollyL

No kidding, that is just THE image for sad.

6:05 pm

jmcnrick

well it was how i felt yesterday

6:05 pm

kje

here is a tidbit few people know... I went to clown school, use to work as a clown during college to earn extra cash. My name was Morning Glory after the flower

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

today i am fine--i am rarely sad for more than one good heartwrentching day

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

did you register your face?

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

jmc goes off to google morning glory!

6:07 pm

jmcnrick

i played a clown at a birthday party once but when one of the 5 year old girls ran screaming from me i decided it was not for me

6:07 pm

kje

never did. they gave us instrctions to do it (you do it on an egg!) but I knew it would not be how made my living and such, so didn't ever feel the need

6:07 pm

kje

i refused to do young children's parties as parents always thought it was a good idea, but many young children find clowns big and scary

6:07 pm

Bugsaw

hi everyone. jmc that was one horrible, no good, very bad day!

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

mour

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

oops

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

no kidding bugs and i forgot to bye coffee to boot!

6:08 pm

kje

I only did 5 years and older, and even then with young ones, you stay far from them and if they want to approach you they will. Many will watch you from afar and smile but do not want to see you close

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

so this is not you in the green hair http://www.morningglorytheclown.com/

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

Mice never got into my coffee but that must have been wild

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

I never approached her--i walked in the door and that's all she wrote

6:09 pm

kje

my hair was yellow with pink morning glories on the right side of the wig and also as buttons down the front of the costume

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

i had no desire to drink that coffee no matter that the water would get hot enough

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

that sounds much better than our green haired friend

6:10 pm

kje

steal wool, jmc... that is what someone told me in Baltimore and it worked great. Stuff every whole you can find with steel wool and they will not get in - they can't chew through it so will avoid it

6:11 pm

kje

hole

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

well i think i would need about a ton of steel wool to protect this house

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

sounds painful

6:12 pm

Bugsaw

how are you doing in the cold with your house still open jmc?

6:12 pm

kje

they are not stupid, they avoid the stuff... unlike my traps which they gleely took peanut butter and meat off of without setting them off... clever little things

6:12 pm

jmcnrick

oh my house in dc is not that open anymore--we are in fierce discussions with the city about the amount of insulation

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

well they can eat all the dcon they want

6:13 pm

Bugsaw

I was told that if you trapped three of them, the rest of the mice will leave. It was hard to trap a 4th mouse!

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

i thought i was odd enough working my way through college putting pretty patches on jeans and casting horoscopes

6:13 pm

kje

ha! you can't trap the 4th one b/c they get smarter... but the do not leave

6:14 pm

jmcnrick

probably the 4th mouse figures it out

6:14 pm

uusue2

casting horoscopes?

6:14 pm

joansiebone

When we liked in ND I forced steel wool between the siding and the foundation of the house then ran a bead of caulk to seal well. We never had a visitor after that.

6:14 pm

joansiebone

lived

6:15 pm

blueheron

hey all!!

6:15 pm

kje

i swear the mice in Baltimore were evolutionary geniuses and also a little too bold... they would just look at me. If they had stayed hidden I might I have ignored them, but I couldn't handle the fact they didn't fear me. Thus I had to get rid of them

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

yep i even wrote a paper casting the horoscope of the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuo Mung Tung (chaing kia sheks party)

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm maybe i should put some in before they get the insulation in my house in dc

6:15 pm

kje

I agree Joan - a friend told me about steel wool and that stuff works like a charm. aulk alone didn't - they eat the stuff out and then squeeze in again

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

hi blue!!!

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

hi joansie

6:16 pm

joansiebone

Hi jmc

6:16 pm

kje

6:16 pm

blueheron

6:17 pm

joansiebone

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

Our development is on top of a large hill and there are 180 homes up here. There is just one main road entering and exiting here. So we have a mail center and parcel boxes.

Fireworks are an5/10 so here's a story of clues. I ea 4/4 a living as an ESL teacher. I'm en 6/21ed with teachers I work with.I could never be a classroom teacher.I don't think I would li4/8 it.Being a classroom teacher is not a si4/6le job. I think I would rather mi4/9 cows than be a classroom teacher. I think if I was a classroom teacher, students would drive me ne 6/18 to insanity. I think if I were a classroom teacher, I would be fi4/7d by the end of the week. I'm not too fi 4/8 and students would walk all over me. I know the older kids would fr5/24 me out. They would gr 4/8ble & talk about me behind my back. The kids would graffiti the classroom with a ma 6/33. I would be sitting on pi 4/5 & needles scared of what the next day would bring. Now I have one ho4/6 to fi5/16h the grid. Believe me, I will find il 4/8 one of my last six words.Then I'm going to get off my re4/4 and go watch My Name is Ea 4/4. By the way, this story is all true and none of this story is fa4/11. I hope it helps some of you.
