1:46 am

VolleymomDee

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

we have green grass... 1st time in my lifetime that our lakes have not frozen completely

1:47 am

dart001

they just put down rd 1 of yearly fertilizer yestday

1:47 am

dart001

1:47 am

flosey

off to bed, goodnight all

1:47 am

dart001

nite flos

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

nite flosey; sleep well

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

really absurd... great for the golf course revenue I bet

1:48 am

dart001

private...so their revenues are pretty much set

1:48 am

dart001

good for us though :)

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

truly... surprised you can use the greens; often here they keep everyone off the greens until the "real" season

1:51 am

dart001

they wont let you out until the temp is above freezing......but for most of winter,...that is about 9 or 10 am

1:51 am

dart001

the ground is not frozen...like usually is in MN

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

really fantastic - I didn't realize how great your weather is

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

any trips planned back to MN?

1:52 am

dart001

this has not been a normal winter here...according to the locals....not sure what normals is yet

1:52 am

dart001

just got back from MN on monday

1:53 am

dart001

and I didn't miss a grid (for ruru)

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

how's everyone in MN? Are you missing there at all, or are you all settled into your new locale?

1:54 am

dart001

the 625 mile drive days makes it tough sometimes...wouldn't want to disappoint the boy though :)

1:55 am

dart001

we miss MN...but home is here now for a while....try to see a few diff. friends each time we go back

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

the boy?

1:55 am

dart001

ruru

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

awww lol

1:56 am

dart001

if i missed a grid,,,he might be disappointed

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

for sure

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

wish we would get our house situation settled... still waiting for their counter again

1:56 am

dart001

when is he having his knee done?

1:57 am

dart001

did they give you a time frame for the counter?

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

I thought it was this month, but I have lost track.... not sure if they are still planning on surgery or not.

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

I have lost track, but I think they have until tomorrow evening.

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

The others all came really quickly, so not sure what is going on now.

1:59 am

dart001

are you both getting close to the same number...or still a ways apart?

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

We are close... about 10 apart... which is why I just want their counter, so we can finalize everything... their delay is making me nervous (like someone else is making an offer w/o us knowing)

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

We are close... about 10 apart... which is why I just want their counter, so we can finalize everything... their delay is making me nervous (like someone else is making an offer w/o us knowing)

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

We are close... about 10 apart... which is why I just want their counter, so we can finalize everything... their delay is making me nervous (like someone else is making an offer w/o us knowing)

2:03 am

dart001

had to refresh to get unstuck

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

big burp this time

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

hubby is really at his ouch, so I would love to have everything concluded on the offer part soon. The selling realtor is known for trickiness, so hoping we get their counter early tomorrow.

2:06 am

dart001

everything has been strange tonight...about 3 or 4 before the burp...i clicked on my e-mail and the whole browser shut down...had to re-pull all up and re-log into everything including here

2:07 am

dart001

contingent on inspection?

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

wonder what that was all about. Had problems earlier in Facebook... goofy night.

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

contingent on inspection and finalization of financing. We would be really surprised if inspection turns up anything. The house looks brand new, inside and out.

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

We wonder if one of the owners has OCD....

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

It is immaculate.

2:09 am

dart001

are they moving somewhere close?

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

No, job change to another state.

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

Relocation.

2:09 am

dart001

you would think they would want to get it over with then

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

We aren't sure if closing will be delayed because of that or not - this is all new to us.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

Except that our offer was realllllllly agressive.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

aggresive

2:11 am

dart001

how long has it been on the market?

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

only since Thanksgiving 11/25

2:12 am

dart001

when did you put the original offer in?

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

Saturday... this is our 2nd counter

2:13 am

dart001

did they raise the number they were looking for?

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

not sure what you are asking....

2:14 am

dart001

you said your offer was agressive

2:15 am

gran

How many words today please

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

we started 40 below list (not many buyers in this price range right now).. now we are within 10 of each other

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

255

2:15 am

gran

Thanks

2:15 am

gran

Thanks

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

yqw

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

it really depends on if there realtor has "someone in the wings" who might beat our offer...

2:17 am

dart001

did your agent look at any comps in the area?

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

yes, which is why our offer was so aggressive... we are very close to her estimate

2:18 am

dart001

so they must be asking above the comps

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

yes and no.... our market right now is really strange. Their asking price was originally under what they paid for the house a few years ago. They are truly taking a killing. If we can get it for what we want, it would be at about $86 a sq ft. The house cannot be replaced for what we are offering....

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

So they may have come to their senses and said screw this LOL

2:22 am

dart001

depends on if they "have" to sell it to move...or if they can hang onto it and rent it etc

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

exactly

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

so keep your fingers and eyeballs crossed the next 24 hours lol

2:24 am

dart001

i will :)

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

Thanks! Well, I need to check email and try to get some rest. Thanks, again for your help.

2:25 am

dart001

2:01 pm

2:02 pm

kje

where do you live, BL?

2:02 pm

babblelady2012

took half our state an i was told they should have took all our taxes but didn't

2:02 pm

babblelady2012

nc

2:02 pm

hego

that's too bad.

2:03 pm

kje

I think the state can take from the state tax refund, but I don't think they can touch the federalunless you owe the feds something

2:03 pm

kje

like student loans, back taxes, etc

2:03 pm

babblelady2012

so i called again to find out if we could keep what we had recieved an we can

2:03 pm

MollyL

If the state funds the Emergency vehicles and the bills are not paid, the State can attach your refund.

2:04 pm

hego

ems is very expensive to run.

2:04 pm

babblelady2012

yeah went thru that on fed about 2 yrs ago took all our fed

Soodle

Hey everybody. My heart is going out to everybody who is experiencing difficulties at the moment. Been there... still wearing the T Shirt. (((Hugs)))

2:19 pm

Minveryork

Told husband the other day that I would rather have my credit rating take a hit if it meant that I could be happy for the rest of my life.They were really harsh words, but so very true unfortunately. Things are complicated now

2:19 pm

babblelady2012

well be bbl got to go to town hubby waiting

2:21 pm

Soodle

Min.... Your credit rating is not worth your personal contentment. Believe me!

2:21 pm

babblelady2012

i know its a hard thing to go thru

2:21 pm

hego

Hi Soodle.

2:21 pm

Soodle

((((Hego))))

2:21 pm

babblelady2012

well bbl have fun all an gl

2:21 pm

hego

Bye Lady. hagd.

2:21 pm

babblelady2012

poof gone

2:22 pm

hego

Blows kisses to the Irish lass. lol

2:22 pm

MollyL

Min you have been struggling for a long time and carrying all the financial burden yourself. It's understandable that you would be fed up.

2:23 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye babblelady2012.I'll see you tomorrow in the chog

2:23 pm

Soodle

Thank you , Dear Hego :-). Min... financial difficulties are a huge strain on a relationship. Sending hugely positive vibes to you. (((Hugs)))

2:24 pm

Minveryork

Tears are flowing so I need to leave now. I'll be back soon.

2:24 pm

hego

me too

2:24 pm

hego

bye, dear.

2:24 pm

Soodle

((((((Min))))))))))

2:25 pm

hego

So tough, Wish one could help.

2:25 pm

Soodle

This damned recession! Blast it to hell!

2:26 pm

hego

Here's to better days.

2:26 pm

Soodle

Sorry if I offended anybody with my language.

2:27 pm

hego

I've heard worse, Honey. lol

2:27 pm

Soodle

Yay! Hego! I'll drink to that!!! :-)

2:27 pm

MollyL

The best way to help is with positive thought. Confident that things will get better for the person. Thoughts become things. Feeling sorry for someone does them no good at all.

2:27 pm

hego

Ah, you'll drink to anything.

2:27 pm

hego

Mee too.

2:28 pm

hego

I'm trying Molly.

2:29 pm

MollyL

And worry? Well worry is improper use of the imagination. : )

2:29 pm

MollyL

*Sets up the open bar so anyone can drink to any damn thing they want to*

2:29 pm

Soodle

LOL, Hego, for sure! And as for Thoughts becoming things..... I am a confirmed' thought becoming thing ' person! Hey Molls, did you see the red-nose Down-town Abbey thing?

2:30 pm

hego

Now you're talking!!

2:30 pm

hego

Love Downton!

2:30 pm

uusue2

scrolling back a bit in the chog - sounds like min is having a hard time :-(

2:31 pm

hego

that's why we're setting up the bar, sue.

2:32 pm

hego

Must go. ((Hugs)) to All.

2:32 pm

Soodle

Hego, go to YouTube and search DownTown DownStairs Abbey Red Nose Day.

2:32 pm

hego

Poof!

2:33 pm

Soodle

Aw Bye Hego. ((((SuperHugs))))

2:33 pm

uusue2

bye, hego!

2:33 pm

uusue2

and I will lift a glass to anyone's troubles...may they all vanish in the haze!

2:35 pm

Soodle

Of all the Babblers I have met here.. Min is always cheerful. She always has a cheery welcome to everybody in the chog, and her stories are always great. I sincerely hope things work out OK for her.

2:38 pm

MollyL

â™ª When you're alone â™« and life is making you lonely, you can always go...Downton â™ª

2:38 pm

uusue2

my upcoming retirement is becoming more widely known at the university - all of a sudden people are talking about how useful I am - funny how that happens.

2:39 pm

uusue2

and soodle, I agree with you about Min - she is always friendly, and I love her stories!

2:40 pm

firefly779

I third the opinion of Min - cheerful, helpful, completely giving of self ;)

2:41 pm

MollyL

â™ª Just listen to them talk about their money and their riches â™«
Or hang out with the servants who will gladly mend your brtiches â™ª
How can you lose? â™«

2:42 pm

MollyL

I have every confidence that Min will bounce back from this.

2:42 pm

Soodle

LOL Molly. Last night, I stayed with my Mom (in One TV Channel Land) and, The Pride of Miss Jean Brodie was on. Wow! What a difference a few decades make to a woman!

2:43 pm

Soodle

<---- Hope Min will read these genuine tributes to her!

2:43 pm

uusue2

I will be losing my house too (lived there 24 years) but am actually kind of looking forward to it - it's been a big drag on my finances, and a lot of bad things happened there

2:44 pm

MollyL

Here's to a new chapter in your Life Book Sue

2:44 pm

Soodle

Yikes, Sue. How come you will lose your home?

2:44 pm

uusue2

I am actually looking forward to it!

2:44 pm

firefly779

sorry to hear your troubles Sue, but glad you are finding the positive note

2:44 pm

uusue2

bankruptcy, soodle - ex defaulted on a loan on properties I deeded to him in the divorce - I was still on the loan so they came after me

2:45 pm

uusue2

but he left my house a shambles - started a lot of projects, went through all my money, didn't finish anything

2:45 pm

uusue2

ripped out half the heating system, so I can't keep it warm (or cool in the summer)

2:45 pm

uusue2

I won't miss it.

2:46 pm

Soodle

Now its my turn to second Firefly's post! Wow.

2:46 pm

uusue2

I was thinking that I would never be able to retire, or to move - but now I will be debt free, starting over - won't be able to borrow any money for a while but that's ok.

2:47 pm

uusue2

so once I retire I may do some traveling - you all had better watch out! :-)

2:47 pm

Soodle

Yay for Sue!!!

2:47 pm

Soodle

Come to Ireland, Come to Ireland , Come to Ireland....

2:48 pm

uusue2

would love to, soodle - I've never been there!

2:48 pm

uusue2

have Irish ancestors on both sides, although a long time ago (came here in the 1850s and earlier)

2:48 pm

Soodle

You would be as welcome as the flowers in Spring to Chez Soodle, Sue! Its not palatial, but its homely!

2:49 pm

uusue2

well, I will keep it in mind for sure! (be a year or two, probably)

2:49 pm

uusue2

I'd like to visit Ruby, too - I spent quite a while in her part of the world and would love to get back there

2:50 pm

Soodle

And that invitation goes for (most) Babblers! (You know who you are!!!)

2:52 pm

uusue2

my 1:30 meeting only lasted about half as long as I was expecting so I am doing a little babbling before class :-)

2:53 pm

uusue2

ooh, look! I got my flag back!

2:53 pm

onyx

has anyone used a q?

5:22 pm

doseffing

not yet ... and I've reached 75% ... with only 1 and 2 e's left in that corner and 2 m's ... .. so it doesn't look hopeful

5:27 pm

MollyL

Unless teque is some French expletive, I think you are s4 in assuming there is no use for the Q

5:28 pm

phandmd

I know I haven't been on here much lately, but I just got some really good news and I want to share!

Some may remember I am a nursing student; well, I had my first Med Surg exam on Monday and I was terrified that I might fail, but I didn't! I got a 90%! I am so happy!

5:29 pm

MollyL

Congratulations Phand! Nice to hear good news here for a change.

5:30 pm

rbud

woohoo, phand!!! well done! :)

5:31 pm

uusue2

yay phand!!!!!!! Great news!

5:31 pm

babblelady2012

wtg pand congrats

5:31 pm

uusue2

and hi again all, back from class and long talk with son...

5:31 pm

phandmd

Thank you. I am 47 years old and am always doubting if I can do this, so getting this A is a huge boon to me!

5:32 pm

MollyL

Never doubt yourself Phand. You should be your own biggest fan. : )

5:33 pm

MollyL

Oh dear Sue, what's up with the boy?

5:33 pm

uusue2

good for you, phand! I am always SO impressed by my older students - I think it is much harder to go back to school than to go straight through.

5:34 pm

uusue2

nothing big, molly, mostly existential angst - he feels like he is spinning his wheels, taking useless classes, won't be able to get a job when he graduates, and so on

5:35 pm

phandmd

yes. But I am even more impressed by the 20-30 somethings that are trying to do this while raising young kids. No way I could have done this back then. I don't understand how they do it at all. At least 2/3 of my kids are in college and the remaining one is very self sufficient. That and I have a tremendously supportive and helpful husband!

5:38 pm

uusue2

I agree, phand! I have graduate students with small children - I have no idea how they manage.

5:44 pm

MollyL

Truth is, it's going to be hard for him to get a job after he graduates. Most of my kids friends only have jobs now because they worked during college and parlayed that into a job after graduation.

5:45 pm

MollyL

It's sad but a college degree is not worth what it once was and is certainly no guarantee for a job.

5:48 pm

phandmd

I am even concerned that I may get a nursing job when I graduate next summer. It would be better if I could get a CNA job now to gain some experience, but I am not at all interested in working while I am in school, especially since I still have a kid at home. So, I am going to take my chances...

5:56 pm

phandmd

I killed the chat...

5:57 pm

MollyL

Phand, you are very lucky that you have a husband that supports you and will put you through school.

5:57 pm

uusue2

chat is still alive but I am going home :-)

5:57 pm

uusue2

see you all later!!

5:57 pm

babblelady2012

no not with me just working hard on board since i just got started

5:57 pm

phandmd

I am blessed indeed!

5:58 pm

babblelady2012

sounds like your blessings are all around you the good luck on school nursing and a good hubby

5:59 pm

babblelady2012

i have a wonderful hubby

5:59 pm

phandmd

indeed, Babblelady, indeed!

5:59 pm

phandmd

That is wonderful; it hurts my heart when I hear of spouses that aren't

6:00 pm

babblelady2012

yeah i know

6:00 pm

MollyL

In my opinion, there are very few good men out there. You two are lucky you found some.

6:01 pm

babblelady2012

so many that fight an get hurt or killed even in marriage an the kids suffer as well

6:02 pm

babblelady2012

i been married for 33 yrs all good too no regrets

6:02 pm

phandmd

righto! Well, I better get back to my books. They are pretty much my only friend these days! At least they are proving their worth!

6:02 pm

phandmd

congratulations Babblelady. 23 for me!

6:02 pm

babblelady2012

ok phand

6:52 pm

Scrabbler

Hi kids. SeaSpray, did you get my e-mail? How are Mama & baby?

6:54 pm

SeaSpray

Yes Scrabbs and I discussed with daughter. They both came hom about 3 hours ago and are doing great. Thank you so much Scrabbs.

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

Yay for being home. It stinks to be a patient. The information is interesting and not widely known in the medical field yet.

6:57 pm

SeaSpray

It was very interesting. Yes, everyone at the hospital said that nurses are the worst patients but I actually think she did very well.

7:01 pm

Scrabbler

I am sure she was understanding of how busy the nurses are.

7:02 pm

MollyL

My daughter-in-law is a nurse, but she is a very good patient. Unfortunately, she has had lots of practice due to having Crohn's.

7:05 pm

SeaSpray

Oh she is and she really doesn't push the fact that she is one of them. She is very receptive as she knows this is their specialty, not hers. Crohns is rough Molly. My neighbor was diagnosed when he was in college. When he came home after surgery he only weighed 79 pounds. He is now married with 2 children and doing well.

7:06 pm

cosdem

the first ca6 please?

7:06 pm

SeaSpray

I don't have it cos, sorry

7:07 pm

MollyL

ca + Elvis daughter, change the second vowel

7:08 pm

cosdem

thanks!

7:08 pm

MollyL

How are you feeling Cos?

7:09 pm

cosdem

no change really ....

7:09 pm

MollyL

Rats, I was hoping your pain was better.

7:09 pm

cosdem

but its snowing like hell now. dont really want to go anywhere

7:09 pm

cosdem

so will go to ER tomorrow instead.

7:10 pm

SeaSpray

Have you been ill cos?

7:10 pm

MollyL

Do you have a heating pad? Do you think that would help the pain?

7:10 pm

cosdem

pain in abdominal area, seaspray.

7:10 pm

cosdem

hm yes i do actually. good idea molly. let me find it. brb.

7:11 pm

MollyL

Heat is my "go to" for pain.

7:11 pm

SeaSpray

Oh my cos, you really should get checked out.

7:11 pm

SeaSpray

Heat or ice Molly, thats mine.

7:11 pm

MollyL

He did Sea, I'll let him explain when he gets back.

7:12 pm

cosdem

i did seaspray. they said its either acid reflux (BS) or helicopter something and gave me tramadol. (ryan is looking for heating pad now)

7:12 pm

cosdem

i know what acid reflux feels liek and this isnt it.

7:13 pm

MollyL

Helicobacter pylori. I'm not digging that diagnosis at all.

7:13 pm

SeaSpray

hmmm, I thought pain from acid reflux was higher, not abdominal. Helicopter? wth? Did you ask Scrabbs about it?

7:13 pm

cosdem

ill know more on tues with a specialist.

7:13 pm

cosdem

molly spelled ti right :)

7:14 pm

cosdem

i guess if heli pylori is left untreated can lead to stomach cancer

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

If initial tests did not reveal an "acute abdomen" (surgical issue) that is reassuring.

7:15 pm

SeaSpray

Well it sounds like you are heading to the specialist and they will be able to tell you more.

7:15 pm

cosdem

they did a bunch of tests and said i was fine to go home.. but if pain continues 48 hrs to comeback to the er.

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

Have you spoken with your MD? It's best to avoid ERs if at all possible.

7:17 pm

cosdem

my MD moved out of state 2 months ago and i haventbeen able too find a new one. the er referred me to one. so im seeing a new MD tuesday and a specialist as well.

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

OK

7:18 pm

cosdem

it just sucks lol

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

You had a basic work-up? X-rays? Ultrasound? Urinalysis? Blood work?

7:19 pm

cosdem

yes .. to all 3

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

All OK?

7:19 pm

cosdem

wait.. no x-ray

7:20 pm

cosdem

7:20 pm

7:24 pm

Hi all. I see we are in the midst of a medical exam.

7:25 pm

MollyL

Hi Wht. I promise, no one will ask you to bend over and cough : P

7:25 pm

wht

You never know what will happen in the chog.

7:25 pm

cosdem

lol :)

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

Could be gall stones. Could be stomach or duodenal ulcer.

7:25 pm

SeaSpray

Hi wht lol Molly

7:26 pm

cosdem

thanks scrabs.. its nice to know the possibilities.. really...

7:26 pm

cosdem

its better than not knowng anythng. even if its just a theory

7:26 pm

Scrabbler

Virtual medical eval. I want Cos to know more.

7:26 pm

cosdem

i appreciate it :)

7:26 pm

Shirlockc

i had something similar and actually went in for a tube test -- they put you under (to suppress the gag reflex) and stick a tube down your esophagus

7:27 pm

Shirlockc

they found zilch and the pain went away

7:27 pm

Shirlockc

eventually the pain went away

7:27 pm

cosdem

ugh. thats awful shirl but im glad it went away for you.

7:27 pm

MollyL

Oh gross, to have an endoscopy and have them find nothing.

7:27 pm

Shirlockc

yep, it wasn't pleasent

7:27 pm

Shirlockc

dang i can't spell tonight

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

Docs need to make a list of possible problems--the "differential diagnosis" and then figure things out.

7:27 pm

cosdem

maybe by tuesday it'll be gone by then.

7:28 pm

MollyL

I will think positive for you Cos : )

7:28 pm

Shirlockc

how long have you had this pain?

7:28 pm

Scrabbler

A negative endoscopy is very good news though.

7:28 pm

wht

You don't understand, the endoscopy *was* the treatment. After it was over, what was bothering you didn't seem so bad by comparison.

7:29 pm

cosdem

4 days shirl.. well 5 now

7:29 pm

Picklesny

is it worth starting I'll never get 255 before my hubby boots me off

7:29 pm

MollyL

Brilliant diagnosis Dr. Wht

7:29 pm

Shirlockc

true, wht if i was awake for it

7:30 pm

MollyL

Pickles, why does your husband boot you off?

7:31 pm

Picklesny

He wants conversation and attention from me

7:31 pm

Shirlockc

get a dog :)

7:32 pm

MollyL

*High fives to Shirl*

7:32 pm

Picklesny

besides i have to go to bed at 10 pm est and we have a dog or do you mean get rid of the hubby

7:32 pm

Shirlockc

7:33 pm

Shirlockc

heh, i meant he should get attention from the dog but if you already have one ...

7:33 pm

MollyL

<---Has never been to Trader Joe's

7:34 pm

Shirlockc

something they do have v. good products, TJs that is

7:34 pm

cosdem

the first fa5 please?

7:34 pm

babblelady2012

hi's back watching race on tv an doing game too trying to multitask

7:35 pm

MollyL

Shirl, it sounds like a great place, but also a place full of impulse buying things and my grocery budget doesn't allow for that.

7:35 pm

SeaSpray

I don't think we have a traders joes near by

7:35 pm

babblelady2012

mine either molly

7:35 pm

Shirlockc

their products are actually quite reasonable $-wise

7:35 pm

babblelady2012

never heard of trader joe's

7:36 pm

Shirlockc

and they do quite a bit of organic and fair trade, like the cocoa

7:36 pm

SeaSpray

is it like an Ollies store?

fa5 is something deadly

7:36 pm

8:07 pm

cosdem

i went pro the day i found babble.. after everyone encouraged me to :P

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, a rash. It's not purple, he is not on a med, it's not hives, it doesn't bother him, he is not sick. She asked, "Why would he have a rash?"

8:08 pm

Minveryork

nrkii & I joined the same year. I joined 17 days before her.

8:08 pm

kje

nrkii - the permanent gray head.... with a scowl

8:08 pm

featherbee

i went pro that night. knew i'd be sucked in.

8:08 pm

pam

No, I nicked it from the web, KJE. I loved it.

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

I went pro the same night I found this. I was quickly hooked.

8:08 pm

Dorens

8:08 pm

pam

Because humans get rashes....

8:08 pm

nrkii

8:09 pm

kje

I can't remember.... I was heavily medicated at the time - lol

8:09 pm

nrkii

wait, maybe I did go pro

8:09 pm

kje

prob didn't take me long to go pro, though

8:09 pm

nrkii

I can't remember what that means anymore

8:09 pm

Dorens

think you kinda must have since you have a pic and all, nr

8:09 pm

pam

I'm one of those who get on people... if you play regularly, try to go pro and support the game.

8:09 pm

cosdem

if you have an flag, then you are pro i think.

8:09 pm

featherbee

stid made my feather B for me

8:09 pm

babblelady2012

8:09 pm

nrkii

I paid for a membership

8:09 pm

pam

You did, nrkii.

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

So I told the mother that his rash is not an emergency and to call when we are open tomorrow to schedule an appt.

8:09 pm

cosdem

pro = membership

8:09 pm

Dorens

me too pam. they'll start telling us we're pushy someday

8:10 pm

kje

8:10 pm

nrkii

8:10 pm

Dorens

"our kind"

8:10 pm

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

I wish I could, kje. At le5 I wasn't woken up for that.

8:11 pm

kje

I'll be on call for you nrkii... the answer will always be "I don't know, but I suspect it can kill you"

8:11 pm

nrkii

ROFL, kje

8:11 pm

featherbee

LMAO kje

8:11 pm

Minveryork

8:12 pm

phandmd

Scrabbler, can I ask you a medical question? I was reading my Med Surg book this evening on Osteomyelitis and was wondering something...

8:12 pm

Minveryork

I finally did open the Babble link and BAM! I was addicted right away. Did not go pro though until a year later I think

8:12 pm

nrkii

SeaSpray, ice cream is a good babble fortifier

8:15 pm

babblelady2012

Dorens

8:15 pm

Oy, KJE.

8:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello, my name is Minveryork and I am a babble addict. It's been less than 24 hours since my last game.

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

nrkii, I will obtain authorization from your health insurance company to do a total body MRI.

8:15 pm

babblelady2012

lol min

8:15 pm

kje

ca + anagram of meadows

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you, babblelady.

8:15 pm

cosdem

lol min

8:16 pm

nrkii

Scrabs, don't tempt me. I would LOVE that. Except for the fact that it's so loud and uncomfortable.

8:16 pm

phandmd

The text was saying that persons with surgical orthopedic implants (plates, etc) were at increased risk of developing osteomyelitis.

I am wondering if that risk is life long. (I think that it is)

I was also wondering if I understood correctly that any infection needs to be watched closely that it doesn't develop into osteomyelitis.

Am I understanding correctly?

8:16 pm

Dorens

ty kj

8:16 pm

babblelady2012

and an x-ray an ct

8:16 pm

phandmd

I ask as my mom has plates and rods due to her hip repair from the automobile she was struck by this past summer

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

nrkii, we would sedate you so that you would hold still.

8:16 pm

kje

yw

8:17 pm

nrkii

I hear those radio ads for the Princeton Longevity Center, and I think... yes, I could see myself blowing a big chunk of money on that....

8:17 pm

nrkii

I want to be sedated... (ought to be a song in that somewhere)

8:18 pm

Dorens

ok. have completed grid, and 30 minutes on bike (should really do more, but want to be in bed watching the office). great to see you all here and good night

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

ph, risk of infection is highest after surgery before healing of wound. Once everything heals the risk disppears.

8:18 pm

Dorens

unless a clue isneeded before le poof

8:18 pm

nrkii

Good job Dorens!

8:18 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Doren. Great to see you!

8:18 pm

featherbee

night dorens!

8:19 pm

Dorens

i wish you sedation nrk

8:19 pm

pam

good night, doresn!

8:19 pm

kje

phan - any foreign body in the body is a nidus for infection... but the risk is small unless she has other risk factors, like using IV drugs, or getting dilaysis so constantly with a cath in or caths in an artery... or chronic infections like occur in patients with poor vascular flow to the legs

8:19 pm

phandmd

great, thank you Scrabbler. It's wasn't all that clear in the text.

8:19 pm

kje

dialysis...sheesh

8:19 pm

phandmd

also good 411, Kje, thank you. She doesn't have those risk factors...

8:19 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Dorens on your fireworks! Hooray for you!

8:19 pm

kje

but there is no monitoring that needs to take place, we do not scan regularly, etc

8:20 pm

kje

woooooohooooo dorens!!!!

8:20 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Dorens! I'll see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.

8:20 pm

kje

dorens, did you hear that ru screwed up and I missed him?

8:20 pm

phandmd

I am very glad I don't need to freak out! lol

8:21 pm

featherbee

you didn't get to meet ruru?

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

Please don't freak out, ph. Just get some info. Now you're educated.

8:21 pm

kje

nope

8:21 pm

cosdem

yay gyros delivered for dinner.

8:21 pm

phandmd

yup, nursing school is good for educating!

8:22 pm

kje

I thought he was suppose to call me when he finished his appt, and he thought I was going to call him.... we both sat waiting for the other person only a couple blocks away.... so ridiculous

8:22 pm

featherbee

well that just sucks. i wanted to hear all the details of that meeting!

8:22 pm

phandmd

By the way, I got an A on my first Med Surg exam. I am so ecstatic! I was terrified I might fail (<75% is failing)

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Too bad, kje. I would love to meet Ruru.

8:22 pm

nrkii

great job phandmd

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yay ph. Keep studying.

8:23 pm

kje

you give a man very specific instructions.... but can he follow them..... noooooooooo

8:23 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations on a test well taken phandmd! Good for U

8:23 pm

featherbee

lol

8:23 pm

pam

Oh, that stinks, KJE!

8:23 pm

nrkii

nice, kje :)

8:23 pm

kje

yayayay phan!!!! go you! that is great!

8:23 pm

phandmd

that is pretty much all I do when I am not in school or clinicals... Though I do take a good TV break every evening too...

8:23 pm

pam

Ysy, phan!

8:24 pm

phandmd

at my age it is a real coup!

8:24 pm

kje

it will be worth it, phan.... such a great profession

8:24 pm

featherbee

great job phan!

8:24 pm

phandmd

thank you all.

8:25 pm

kje

how old, phan?

8:25 pm

kje

older students tend to do better

8:25 pm

nrkii

what branch do you think you'll go into, phan? surgical?

8:25 pm

phandmd

currently, 48; will be 49 upon graduation.

8:25 pm

phandmd

not sure at this point, nrkii. maybe ICU?

8:25 pm

kje

good for you!!!

8:26 pm

nrkii

ooh, I was hoping you'd say ICU

8:26 pm

nrkii

they are my FAVORITE nurses in the world

8:26 pm

phandmd

really? why?

8:26 pm

nrkii

takes a special special person to be an ICU nurse

8:26 pm

kje

my fave nurse is the one who is there when I need them - lol

8:26 pm

nrkii

my dad was in ICU 3 times, and the nurses were our saviours

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

ICU nurses are smart.

8:26 pm

nrkii

the care they gave him and us was just incredible

8:27 pm

featherbee

ICU and CCU. wonderful people doing a tough job.

8:27 pm

phandmd

well, I am definitely special, nrkii, just not sure if I am the right kind of special! haha

8:27 pm

nrkii

and yes, Scrabbler, the ICU nurses often knew a lot more than the ICU docs

8:27 pm

phandmd

KJE, that is defintly the best kind of nurse!

8:28 pm

nrkii

I think there is just a huge emotional component to the ICU nursing role, because you're dealing with a lot of families making tough decisions, a lot of loss, and a lot of miracles

8:28 pm

Scrabbler

The ICU nurses are with the patient most every moment, so they know the vital signs, etc.

8:29 pm

kje

I was sure of we mocked ru his ears would burn and he would join us... his radar must be down

8:29 pm

Shirlockc

la7?

8:29 pm

kje

la7 - not the clergies

8:30 pm

phandmd

not sure if I can get into ICU right after graduating though. I think I will need to prove myself elsewhere probably.

8:30 pm

Minveryork

Hello Shirlockc! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:30 pm

kje

people working who are not clergy

8:30 pm

Shirlockc

thx kje

8:30 pm

phandmd

sate c

8:30 pm

nrkii

well, all kinds of nurses do all kinds of good

8:31 pm

kje

yes phan... you usually need experience enough to know sick from not sick.... sounds simpler than it is

8:31 pm

phandmd

oops

8:31 pm

Scrabbler

*knocking self upside the head* I just saw the aa5 Babblet.

8:31 pm

Minveryork

I think anybody in the medical field does all kinds of good.

8:31 pm

phandmd

indeed, Min

8:32 pm

wht

It is the second time it has been in the grid in the past couple of days, Scrabs.

8:32 pm

wht

It is funny how words show up in clumps like that.

8:32 pm

cosdem

if i look at the list and see aa5/10 i dont bother to find it. i just type it in lol

8:32 pm

kje

some of the best nurses I have worked with were the nurses on my nursing home floor as a fellow at Hopkins... they had lots of experience, many were older women, and they had a passion for giving care with dignity... I miss them

8:32 pm

phandmd

KJE, well, my last clinical patient got further care that she needed because of me, and not because of her actual RN! In fact her RN didn't pay the kind of attention to her that she should have. Probably because she figured I was there...

8:33 pm

nrkii

*******bee is in the grid... just noticed

8:33 pm

featherbee

:D dat's me!

8:33 pm

Minveryork

My younger sister went to Joh 's hopkins University too kje.

8:33 pm

phandmd

her cellulitis got worse, she had a high fever, was vomitting and after an EKG determined she was in A fib. She went to telemetry.

8:34 pm

featherbee

and i haven't entered it yet, lol

8:34 pm

kje

floor nurses are overworked everywhere - best ratio for outcomes on med-surg floors is 4:1... most hospitals operate at 6-8:1 due to the nursing shortage. They do what they can, wish more people would choose nursing

8:34 pm

pam

there's an aa babblet? I am so out of tune.

8:34 pm

featherbee

brb

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

The nurses at children's hospitals, in the neonatal and pediatric ICUs, are outstanding. They work so hard.

8:35 pm

kje

when was she there, min? undergrad, med school, or postdoc?

8:35 pm

kje

boxer Mohammed, double all vowels

8:35 pm

phandmd

I agree, KJE, the ratio is way too high! I think she had 6 patients. I felt 4 should be the most a nurse should have.

8:35 pm

cosdem

the first sa5 please?

8:35 pm

pam

thanks, KJE!

8:36 pm

kje

unhappy male pronoun

8:36 pm

nrkii

sorrowful man, cosdem?

8:36 pm

Minveryork

I think she got her Master's Degree there.I'm not sure when she graduated,maybe 5 or 6 years ago? She lives in VT now

8:36 pm

kje

that was for you, cos

8:36 pm

cosdem

thanks!

8:36 pm

kje

yw pam

8:36 pm

kje

I was there 1997-2007

8:37 pm

Minveryork

She also got a degree in women's health I think. She works at a clinic in Burlington, Vermont. It's always good to have a medical person in your family. My sister is so very smart!

8:38 pm

kje

good for her, min... JH is a great place to train, but kind of ruins you for anywhere else - lol

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

I love Burlington, VT.

Min, I'm considering the possibility of teaching English as a Foreign language, and I'm wondering if I need a master's degree for that. Do I?

9:08 pm

cosdem

9:09 pm

Scrabbler

Feather, have you read The HIghly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron?

9:09 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, welki. THe KNown World by Edward Jones. Great book about slavery 1855.

9:10 pm

Scrabbler

That's us, Feather. We need our solitude.

9:11 pm

Minveryork

That's a good question mab.I don't know.Guess it would depend on how and where you would teach it. At what level are you considering; i.e. elementary, high school, or college?I think adjunct professors don't need masters

9:11 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight cosdem! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.

9:11 pm

Scrabbler

Sleep well, Cos.

9:12 pm

Scrabbler

I have had enough. 180/75. See everyone tomorrow.

9:12 pm

Minveryork

However, it se 4/5s like it is hard to get a job th 5/12 days without a master's degree. Bachelor's Degree do not cut it.

Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

9:13 pm

9:23 pm

Well then if it's the same thing,it depends on the school district and their employment requirements.When I was hired I had my master's, but I know it was not required. However, it was required to get it within 5 years of your start da 4/5. Not sure if it is still the same. I have been teaching for 14 years. Requirements might be different
