6:42 am

rubyfoo

my friend's boxer got some form of lyme disease from one and is left with nasty arthritis

6:43 am

rubyfoo

it is tricky with long-haired dogs

6:43 am

flosey

we were often taking them out of the dog's head - he would rummage through long dead grasses and end up with them

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I even got one, don't know if it came from Ruby or from the garden. Disgusting!

6:43 am

flosey

think we only found them on her head

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I find them mostly around their eyes but, now and then, elsewhere

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I was lucky, in that I felt it catch on right away!

6:45 am

7:07 am

MollyL

What? How is one school open and all the rest closed.

Kaplan the Magne

It's been 60 degrees in New York this week.

7:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

not bad for a February trip/

7:08 am

MollyL

How is it going bathing in the kitchen Kap?

7:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

Too bad when global warming is in full effect, Lower Manhattan will be underwater.

7:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

One can get used to it, but the other thing in NY is the heat is always cranked up in these old apartments

7:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

Bathing in the kitchen, sleeping on the couch- alone!

7:10 am

MollyL

I thought you weren't going to let them leave you alone there.

7:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

No- but the loft bed is about 3 inches away from the ceiling.

7:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

So I chose the couch.

7:11 am

MollyL

There is no way I could sleep three inches from the ceiling.

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

The thing that has been bad about this trip is that I have become one of those people who has bad hips.

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

"I don't remember growing older"

7:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Going to the kitchen to take my bath

7:30 am

carleekat

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Oh God! I want the other pup!

7:35 am

carleekat

i have a SMALL 3 bedroom house...now with 3 cats and 2 large ( or will be large) dogs...and a no pet clause on my lease 9 although they know about 2 cats and 1 dog)

7:38 am

carleekat

7:38 am

MollyL

Wait, this person bred your dog with theirs and then decided they didn't want the puppies? That's messed up.

7:39 am

carleekat

7:39 am

carleekat

weaning them off the bottle...

7:40 am

car.eeyore

Only if it was a male though....no more female dogs for me.

7:40 am

MollyL

I had no idea animals "turned away" from their young. I've never heard that before.

7:41 am

carleekat

like anything..good parents..and bad parents... i cant speak for the mum's owner...i saved one.. its alli can do

7:41 am

car.eeyore

Maybe now with just one pup, the owner will have a change of heart....

7:42 am

carleekat

7:44 am

carleekat

car.eeyore

Oh Hurshy! What can we do to help you?

7:48 am

hurshy

my grandmother had a stroke after christmas. she's been getting care and was getting gradually better but hasn't made much progress in the last couple of weeks, which i guess means medicare will stop paying for anything soon. my grandparents have some difficult options to face because if she doesn't get better they are saying she needs 24 hour care and nobody can afford that unless they are wealthy...

7:48 am

car.eeyore

Oh no. That is a horrible situation.

7:49 am

hurshy

it is the modern dilemma.

7:49 am

car.eeyore

Are you actively involved in this decision making, or just watching it unfold?

7:50 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, or if they have very liitle financial resourses, then Medicaid steps in

7:50 am

Anniebrook

they don't have "very little", just, it will quickly be exhausted. then maybe.

i am just watching it unfold mostly, though i wonder if i should sell my house, quit my job, move in to take care of her... i don't even know if i'm qualified or if she needs a nurse.

7:51 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, unfortunately, that is probably what they have to do. In NYC you are allowed to keep 13,000 but the rest have to be used up. Someone has to go to a Medicaid office and get all the information.

7:52 am

car.eeyore

Hurshy...those are tremendous sacrifices to make.

7:52 am

car.eeyore

How incredibly sweet and loving of you to even think of doing all that.

7:53 am

hurshy

well my grandfather still works, i don't know how/if that affects the medicaid thing.

7:54 am

MollyL

Hursh, I will say a prayer that this works out for the best.

7:54 am

hurshy

thanks molly

7:54 am

car.eeyore

I will keep you all in my prayers as well.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

It might, hurshy. There all kind of allowances. They will tell you at the Medicaid office. They might have to hire an elder care lawyer. There are all sorts of options.

7:55 am

hurshy

this is where the republican "we're a country of haves and soon-to-haves" is so infuriating.

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Ugh. Time for me to get some work done. I wish you all a very good day. {{hugs}} to you Hurshy and {{hugs}} to all who may need one today!!!!

7:56 am

hurshy

i mean it is one thing to not believe we should or even COULD provide the care everyone needs, but to pretend like these problems just don't exist!

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Big wet, sloppy snowflakes falling now. Nothing sticking to the ground. :(

7:56 am

hurshy

we have an inch or two, car, stuck in the night.

7:57 am

car.eeyore

I know Hurshy. It is so very frustrating. That is why I am living with my mom right now.

7:57 am

uusue2

(((hurshy))) good luck - definitely go to the Medicare office, and maybe get an elder care lawyer to help you navigate the system

7:58 am

uusue2

and DO NOT (my advice here) sell your house, quit your job, or move in, unless that's what really makes sense for YOU.

8:00 am

uusue2

(easy for me to say, of course, as my dad is still healthy...love and hugs to you!!)

8:00 am

kje

sorry to hear, hurshy... do talk to the social worker at the facility and see what can be arranged - there are occasinally more resources than seem apparent. However, "spending down" savings is common, then after that Medicaid kicks in and she will be what is called dual eligible (Medicare, Medicaid) and lots of services kick in

8:01 am

hurshy

thanks for the tips, sue, kje

8:01 am

kje

can I ask where you live? she may be eligible for a program called PACE if there is one near her

8:01 am

hurshy

connecticut.

8:02 am

uusue2

depending on where you work, you may be able to take some family leave time to help with transitions - it counts against your sick leave (at least it did when I did it) but can be useful

8:03 am

hurshy

well my mom doesn't work and has been the one helping handle things so far

8:03 am

I think there is one in CT, don't remember where, let me look

poor salmon that doesn't get eaten thats what he grew so well for

8:33 am

Judi

Loopholeterians.

8:33 am

kje

lol welki - wouldn't that apply to all of them

8:33 am

hurshy

it all depends on your reasons for avoiding meat

8:33 am

jmcnrick

mmmmm salmon

8:33 am

welki

pesky is going light :)

8:33 am

hurshy

some people do it for health

8:33 am

kje

indeed

8:34 am

hurshy

some people don't believe we should "use" animals in any way, then they are vegans

8:34 am

welki

annie - got me drooling! derma! stuffed derma!

8:34 am

hurshy

some people object to factory farming, even though in the abstract don't object to using animals for food, and consume less meat but will, perhaps, eat it at a restaurant that has good sources of meat.

8:34 am

jmcnrick

i shouldn't have said that because i am happy for people to eat or not to eat whatever they want as long as they leave me alone

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Breakfast buffet is here. enjoy!

8:35 am

kje

ok, I have fireworked... now I must real work - hagd all

8:35 am

Judi

We encountered some folks at the farmers market last year who refused to buy honey as "it was exploitive of bees". That was a bit much for me.

8:35 am

jmcnrick

to peskytarians are the people across the street from me who refused to come to the block party because i was making ribs and they are vegans

8:35 am

kje

(takes breakfast to go)

8:35 am

MollyL

<---Now has craving for New York deli food

8:35 am

vanillaslice

we are restricted to four salmon per person fishing

8:35 am

welki

i wouldn't leave you alone, i'd pick from your plate

8:35 am

jmcnrick

that is a vegan judi

8:35 am

Scrabbler

I drink soy or almond milk, infrequently eat eggs, eat cheese, but no seafood.

8:35 am

vanillaslice

wd kje hagd

8:35 am

MollyL

Ahahahahahaha! Expolitive of bees! Ahahahahaha!

8:36 am

jmcnrick

haha you should try my ribs!

8:36 am

hurshy

then there's the fact that the meat consumption of the planet currently is clearly unsustainable, and the production of meat is very wasteful of resources, water among them.

8:36 am

welki

*picturing a line of bees, holding up tiny protest signs*

8:36 am

jmcnrick

yes that is really what the vegans say and that milk and dairy products are exploitive of cows

8:36 am

Judi

I had to roll my eyes at the bee thing. I mean for one, they are insects. Secondly, that's what bees do. Are they exploiting themselves??

8:36 am

kje

I know vegans, they come to functions, they just don't eat certain things.... everyone is different, some apparently snooty - not a great way to make friends in the neighborhood!

8:37 am

hurshy

so i wouldn't say people who are partial vegetarians are necessarily finding "loopholes" because it all depends why they do what they do

8:37 am

jmcnrick

i agree kje i have vegan friends and i will make vegan food for them--i even have a vegetables only grill i keep for my veggie friends

8:37 am

hurshy

judi i think they mean like, we're stealing the honey they made for themselves?

8:37 am

kje

actually, hursh, not true at all.... the way we produce meat may not be sustainable, but naturally produced is.... we have a f'ed up food system

8:37 am

Scrabbler

I love cheese too much to give it up. Mozzarella + provolone.

8:38 am

hurshy

naturally produced cannot produce the AMOUNT of meat the average american eats

8:38 am

Judi

Quite a few vegetables and plants are dependent on polination from bees. Is that not exploitive???

8:38 am

kje

but I do agree with the not loophole - they just have different beliefs

8:38 am

jmcnrick

that was the hardest thing about kenya--no cheese

8:38 am

vanillaslice

we have lots and lots of kangaroos

8:38 am

welki

i say, let them eat cake, or fish, or vegetables, or ribs - to each their own

8:38 am

hurshy

in order for sustainable farming to work, people need to consume LESS meat.

8:38 am

jmcnrick

how is kangaroo meat?

8:38 am

jmcnrick

i am a big fan a venison just no good at getting it for myself

8:39 am

welki

<-- gets ready for the kangaroo one-liners

8:39 am

jmcnrick

well get hoppin welki

8:39 am

vanillaslice

kangaroo if young is great

8:39 am

kje

lots of mixed views out there on that, hursh... depends on other things grown

8:39 am

vanillaslice

jumps around a bit in your stomach

8:39 am

Judi

I have tried roo meat. It's not too bad. Kind of gamey. I love ostrich meat.

8:40 am

jmcnrick

hmmm then i would probably like it--i like buffalo a lot

8:40 am

jmcnrick

never had ostrich either but it is big in Georgia

8:40 am

kje

never had kangaroo, but have had ostrich and bison... just alternative red meats, don't taste that distinct to me

8:41 am

welki

blech. i hate days off when i have to 'work' - argue with a company who's trying to mess with my moolah, wait for the appliance tech to call to tell me 'approximately' when they'll be here ... would like a day OFF .. off from everything that resembles effort.

8:41 am

kje

love venison, and it does taste different

8:41 am

welki

i like bison

8:41 am

Judi

I tend to no eat anything that has hooves. It just doesn't agree with me. Anything else though, is fair game (pun intended).

8:41 am

jmcnrick

with bison it depends on how it is raised--if it is raised on grains like a cow it will taste more like beef

8:42 am

welki

up here, you can get farmed or free range bison - home, home on the range

8:42 am

cybernan

good morning, all :)

8:42 am

kje

I don't know of any grain fed bison right now, I thought I had read it was all still grass fed

8:42 am

jmcnrick

i have wide ranging tastes

I think that makes you a nibbleterian, ruby.

vanillaslice

are vegetarian's dogs vegetarian too?

8:44 am

welki

ruby? did you go to queens college? (and yes! my kingdom for a slice or two of derma, fried up just a little to give it crunch on the outside!)

8:44 am

exception, scrabs, I don't eat rabbit!!!! It looks like cat

8:44 am

yes well i have so far eaten all different foods i have been offer including some that has made the chog cringe

what the heck is derma

8:44 am

i love rabbit (but don't tell scrabs)

derma may be one of those things where you realy don't want to know, but it's delish

8:45 am

rubyfoo

and won't eat tripe unless I'm in Italy (where it's fried) or in Philadelphia when it's in hotpot

8:45 am

kje

like in MD, never could bring myself to try scrapple

8:45 am

MollyL

Bees produce more honey than they need, which is why we can harvest it. Those people were totally misinformed.

8:46 am

welki

thought so, ruby - was chatting with owl the other day and it came up - my sister graduated from queens, too

8:46 am

Judi

Is Austrailia still overrun with rabbits, Vanilla?

8:46 am

rubyfoo

and taking bees' honey doesn't cause the "bee collapse problem" which is sinister and real

8:46 am

jmcnrick

scrapple is pretty nasty but there are those who like it

8:46 am

kje

I've had rabbit, my brother raised them for awhile

8:46 am

vanillaslice

myxamatosis nearly wiped them out but theyre coming back

8:47 am

Scrabbler

I just found out what scrapple is. Yuuuuk!

8:47 am

rubyfoo

I just went through a traumatic day with my Ruby being extremely sick, had visions of her leaving, but now she's OK. I'm wrecked

8:47 am

jmcnrick

yeah i think scrapple is an acquired taste

8:48 am

rubyfoo

(what is scrapple? mystery meat?)

8:48 am

vanillaslice

they've introduced a virus now. It escaped early and everyone was scared it as going to kill other animals, but it didnt

8:48 am

jmcnrick

oh poor ruby

8:48 am

Scrabbler

What happened, Ruby?

8:48 am

Judi

Yeah. I can't eat that mush either, Scrabbs. I can't get past the image that scrapple is what they scrape off the slaughterhouse floor at the end of the day.

8:48 am

jmcnrick

sorry vanilla they introduced a virus to kill of the thing that was killing the bees?

8:49 am

rubyfoo

first she had squits, then acted funny, then couldn't walk and didn't want to be petted. She's acting normal now, so I mad her pasta carbonara for breakfast, her favorite dish

8:49 am

vanillaslice

sorry stories getting mixed they were trying to kill the abbits

8:49 am

8:49 am

people in B-more loved it, it sold like wild at the hospital cafeteria... sounded disgusting, but I guess if you're raised on it....

8:49 am

scrapple is like head cheese with scraps of meat

8:49 am

8:54 am

jmcnrick

bye kje

8:54 am

MollyL

Yeah, well Asians eat kimchi (fermented cabbage) so they have no room to call anything gross.

8:55 am

rastapopolous

ooh kimchi is yummy

8:55 am

Judi

The nematodes actually pass through the human digestive tract without causing any harm. I can live with that.

8:55 am

rubyfoo

my Japanese acquaintances make fun of the Chinese and Koreans about the fact that they eat everything, but they eat whale!!!!

8:55 am

jmcnrick

I think peanut butter is gross inside the US!

or even peanut butter, homemade jam, butter and peanuts -- I could live on that

8:57 am

Scrabbler

I eat natural peanut butter only. The other stuff is salty and oily.

8:57 am

Judi

And we love Aussies, Vanilla! Hell, we love everyone. Until you try to blow us up or shoot us. They we get pissed off and cross you off our list.

8:57 am

rasta: where do you keep it while it's fermenting?

8:58 am

vanillaslice

aybe we can make our own peanut butter

8:58 am

vanillaslice

fair enough judi

8:58 am

layer up in a jar: chopped napa cabbage, chopped daikon, chopped green onions, a little ginger, a squirt of sriracha, a generous dusting of salt, then another layer of cabbage, etc

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, I remember the clue now.

8:59 am

rubyfoo

I'm writing that down, rasta

9:00 am

MollyL

Making your own peanut butter is easy

9:00 am

rubyfoo

clue for the re8, pls?

9:00 am

rastapopolous

just leave the jar out on the counter until it generates liquid, bubbles, and the cabbage looks wilted. 2 days in summer, a week or more in winter. Refrigerate to slow it down

9:00 am

MollyL

re8 was sorry for

9:01 am

vanillaslice

keep well ev1 time fo a jigidi and then bed

9:02 am

rastapopolous

I've never noticed a smell.

9:02 am

cybernan

never heard of some of those ingredients rasta

9:02 am

MollyL

Rasta, seriously? Kimchi is the stinkiest thing I have ever smelled.

9:02 am

i do not like any cabbage based foods from any culture.

9:03 am

cybernan

what are kimchi and sriracha?

9:03 am

hurshy

cole slaw, sauerkraut, kimchi, ugh ugh ugh

9:04 am

rubyfoo

not even corned beef and cabbage? but you can't get decent corned beef here

9:04 am

rastapopolous

Daikon is that giant japanese radish. Sriracha is korean hot sauce. But when I made it with my sis in wsconsin and we couldn't find those we used regular radish and mexican hot sauc and it turned out pretty good too

9:04 am

hurshy

i admit i do not object to having cabbage IN french peasant soup, but that's not really cabbage BASED

9:04 am

cybernan

mmm - have to admit I like savoy cabbage sliced fine, sauteed in lots of butter, with salt, pepper and some diced tomato thrown in at the last minute - do like that

9:04 am

rastapopolous

kimchi is what you're making. Essentially spicy sourkraut.

9:05 am

cybernan

steer me away from the hot sauce -- chef on board ship in China was demonstrating carving roses out of those giant radishes

9:07 am

I am on gluten-free now. Hard to do, but my hair is coming back and I have energy again.

9:23 am

rururocks

lots of open windows in Tahoe I supposed rast?

9:24 am

MollyL

I envy people who don't care for bread. I would probably weight 95 pounds if that were the case.

9:25 am

MollyL

Ru, she said she's never noticed a smell. Fermenting cabbage? No smell?

9:26 am

rururocks

hmmm right

9:26 am

rastapopolous

you put a lid on.

9:27 am

rastapopolous

Fermenting is not the same as rotting. Does a jar of pickles smell?

9:27 am

goood afternoon Babble friends :)

9:28 am

rururocks

yes pickles smell

9:30 am

rastapopolous

If you stick your nose right up to it, sure. But it doesn't permeate the house.

9:30 am

rururocks

I don't think I have ever had kim chi

9:31 am

rastapopolous

It's in a jar with a lid on!

9:31 am

MollyL

I can smell it from my neighbors house.

9:31 am

rastapopolous

Raley's has it in the cold section of produce, Ru. Live culture.

9:32 am

there are SOME kim chis that can be quite potent. but good kim chi, prepared properly, shouldnt smell that strongly.

hi kje! back from sunny california?

9:38 am

hey dawg :D

9:38 am

lbdawger

hi scrabs! no outdoor adventures today?

9:38 am

lbdawger

Hi sprite!

9:38 am

I might ice skate from 1-3. Another friend wants me to visit and play Scrabble. I haven't decided what to do.

9:39 am

go skating. Scrabble will always be there.

9:39 am

lbdawger

hmmm, ice skating...wear your helmet and bubble wrap!

9:39 am

rururocks

*sends crash helmet to scrabs*

9:39 am

9:39 am

I had planned to skate. I skated on Tuesday with Mary's kids.

hey nan :)

they do eat sushi, due to close ties with japan

Woooo woooo, we love kje. Pay her lots of $ to be on your medical staff!

good wooing would be $$$$ ; )

wooing = Penthouse (Free) at the Millenium

9:42 am

those were the ones I found, Scrabs!

9:42 am

lbdawger

more wooing is good.

9:43 am

kje

we shall see - I do like the job a lot, the people are amazing, overall would be good, though cost of living is absurd

9:44 am

lbdawger

especially if you plan to live in SF

9:44 am

rururocks

<---tell me about it

9:44 am

Christine

Kje - aren't you in Texas? My former husband liked Indonesian food, and said he ate it in Austin, and, I think, in Houston.

9:44 am

sprite

so they simply have to pay you an indecent salary.

9:44 am

kje

I am, ru

9:44 am

kje

I am in Dallas, there is a place here, not very good

9:44 am

I think we could all use a little wooing. : P

9:44 am

*steals a cookie from ruru*

9:44 am

lbdawger

pay attention, ru! (lol)

9:44 am

rururocks

lotta ex-husbands mentioned around here ..

9:44 am

kje

not a large enough indo population here to have decent restaurants

9:45 am

Christine

Are you not in a big city?

9:45 am

sprite

the combination of ex-husbands and raw fish is risky

9:45 am

kje

yes, I would call dallas a big city

9:45 am

rururocks

lol

9:46 am

Christine

Mine liked raw fish (more than he liked me, I guess)

9:46 am

lbdawger

hmm, is there a correlation to exhusbands and raw fish?

9:46 am

sprite

dallas has to be big. It inspired an endless soap once.

9:46 am

rururocks

get rid of the grouper and the groper at the same time sprite?

9:46 am

sprite

you got it, ruru! :D

9:46 am

kje

but it is not like Amsterdam with their indo population.... just like, the Mexican food in Amsterdam was laughable - depends on population

9:46 am

lbdawger

maybe it's using the wrong thing for bait.

9:46 am

sprite

dawg: you could throw one at the other

9:47 am

rururocks

lol

9:47 am

lbdawger

that's what i was thinking, sprite

9:47 am

sprite

oh yes, so true, kje. Don't go eat mexican here. It is nothing.

9:47 am

kje

I met up with a friend who had been living in France for 6 months and was craving Mexican, so when she saw it, she had to have it - couldn't talk her out of it - then we laughed throughout most of the meal

9:48 am

sprite

aw, she must have been disappointed. Craving did last!

9:48 am

kje

the salsa was akin to marinara - just bizarre

9:48 am

lbdawger

i imagine that "mesican" food was more like taco bell

9:48 am

kje

it was entertaining, sprite.... and now we have a story ; )

9:49 am

kje

not even taco bell!!!

9:49 am

sprite

lol true, kje! The worst things give the best stories.

9:49 am

sprite

I think taco bell would have been an improvement

9:49 am

kje

indeed

9:49 am

lbdawger

ugh, that's bad!

9:50 am

kje

but other than that, I loved Amsterdam, we walked so much, saw a lot, had a greattime. The people were great

9:50 am

rastapopolous

Back with coffee - my dd in Paris agrees with the mexican food - she always requests a lot of it when she comes home

9:50 am

MollyL

Once you have had good Mexican food, Taco Bell pales.

9:51 am

sprite

it is funny, we always think Amsterdam is a reallly big city. And then we have visitors from the states or Australia and they always say: "Aw, it is sooo cute! And everything so close to gether, and so small!"

9:51 am

kje

yes, I did that too when I lived in MD, rasta - would always hit Mexican as soon as I came home at the holidays

9:51 am

sprite

wb rasta

9:51 am

lbdawger

I think my favorite is sonoran mexican style. very tasty

9:51 am

rastapopolous

I have to say, I had some pretty awful mexican in Connecticut, too

9:51 am

kje

it is fairly small acreage wise - denser iving, which makes it walkable, I like it

9:52 am

kje

granted, CT would laught at our version of a lobster roll

9:52 am

rastapopolous

If someone wants to make a living in Paris, there's a niche for a really good mexican restaurant

9:52 am

rastapopolous

granted.

9:52 am

sprite

I think there are cities that are as big as most of our country. Scale is a weird thing.

9:54 am

kje

we still love you, sprite, even though you are from a tiny country ; )

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Several years ago I met a pediatrics resident at our children's hospital. He is Dutch. I asked if he planned to return to the N-lands and he said, "No, it's a small country." Puzzling to me.

9:54 am

kje

(would be there today for lunch if I could swing it)

9:55 am

MollyL

<---Now craving a New England lobster roll

9:55 am

sprite

lol thank you kje!

9:56 am

kje

that is interesting, scrab, most of the dutch I have met find the american independence rather selfish and miss the netherlands... very different outlook on life and community

9:56 am

sprite

for some, the Netherlands are maybe too small. They feel stilted, perhaps, or stiffled. Also, we are overregulated. I think we have traffic lights at 80% of all crossroads.

9:57 am

sprite

aw... er4/4 so reminds me of FM... *hugs to FM, wherever she is*

9:58 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and Euro docs criticize the US brand of medicine--overuse of antibiotics, disrespect of doc by patients.

9:58 am

kje

and overuse of radiology - but I will admit, the UK trained docs (and countries who train like the UK) are much better at their exams, US docs over-rely on rads

9:59 am

Scrabbler

A Babbler named JMitch was here this week and I initially thought that FMitch was back. I looked again and was sad.

9:59 am

sprite

that would be too much of a generalisation, Scrabs. I am sure many of your doctors are careful with antibiotics as well, and respect their patients. Like you do.

9:59 am

kje

we love our technology....

sorry, got disconnected. Back now (as you can see)

10:07 am

Bichon, what I mean is that some docs put unhappy people on meds. Unhappiness is not necessarily depression.

10:08 am

very true, Scrabs.

yeah!! we missed you too, sprite! :-)

10:08 am

Wheezing infants and toddlers dominate the office now. I admitted 2 kids yesterday--13 mo, 7 mo, and we have a 5 wk old in our hospital too.

10:08 am

Scrabs, I agree and I have seen that so many times.

10:08 am

MollyL

About the unhappy people put on meds.

10:09 am

RSV?

10:09 am

lbdawger

ugh, pertussis, scrabs?

10:09 am

sprite

so small and in a hospital, it is always so sad

10:09 am

bichon

That's okay scrabs. My Mom takes an SSRI an I don't think it's helped her one bit.

10:10 am

sprite

some people benefit. If they have constantly too little of certain hormones in the brain, no matter their circumstances. But for a lot of people, being allowed to be sad for a period of time would be help enough.

10:11 am

Scrabbler

I don't bother testing the kids' snot, but when a partner does it is usually RSV. Our children's hospital now has a rapid test for Human Metapneumovirus---lots of infections in kids (and adults) from that. Still no specific treatment, but stats help us learn.

10:11 am

sprite

what is that, Scrabs?

10:11 am

lbdawger

i think doctors forget that many of those who are depressed need more than just a magic pill. they need follow up with a counselor to help work through the depression or whatever is making them sad.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Viruses.

10:12 am

cybernan

ro 5 (city in France) also uses the u

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Well said, dawg. Coping strategies must be learned.

10:12 am

I agree LBD. Pills are not the entire way out of depression.

10:12 am

ah, thanks nan, I was looking after I read there were 3.

So I agreed to work 2-5 today to help out and earn extra $. So I won't skate. I can exercise by vacuuming some rooms.

10:13 am

lbdawger

was a counselor for 30 some years. and saw way too many people on happy pills. they often weren't getting any counseling for depression or other concerns.

10:13 am

kje

are you going in, scrab?

10:14 am

bichon

But I disagree when people refer to anti-depressant pill as pill popping.

10:14 am

Scrabbler

Exercise is crucial. Vitamin D and omega fatty acids do to.

10:14 am

sprite

vitamine D! Ever since you told me, I use it, Scrabs. It makes a big difference.

10:14 am

cybernan

fire in Napa? - anywhere near you, ruru?

10:14 am

bichon, some people really need anti depression meds.

10:14 am

lbdawger

i agree about the vitamin D. ...although this winter hasn

10:15 am

MollyL

The best way to get Vitamin D is from the sun. I don't have much luck with the synthetic stuff.

10:15 am

Scrabbler

I will help out, kje. Otherwise the on-call doc will be seeing kids til 8.

10:15 am

My son used to only want me, but now he wants to be with his dad. I'm not thrilled with that, because there was a reason I divorced his father. Praying that he turns out to be a better man

2:21 pm

babblelady2012

2:29 pm

babblelady2012

well thats good

2:29 pm

magazinemom

Hello everybody. I gotta second West's post at 3.00. She is totally gorgeous!

3:40 pm

MollyL

Hey Soodle

3:46 pm

Soodle

Sheesh. I was surreptiously sniffing my underarms to see if there was an 'issue'... Hey Molly :-)

3:48 pm

MollyL

It's gotten kind of chilly in here lately. Used to be, whenever someone jumped in and said "Hi" they would get a greeting. Not so anymore. More people lurk than chat it seems.

3:49 pm

Soodle

Hmmm. I'm a chatter, not a lurker.

3:52 pm

MollyL

Did your boy make it home okay?

3:55 pm

jmbdobie2

hi All! I became obseesed with finishing each grid so I stopped chatting. Ihave come to my senses and don't worry about finishing anymore.

3:56 pm

Soodle

Indeed he did. I picked him up at the airport, got my 'fix' - i.e. an hour alone with him, then dropped him to the pub. I will probably only see the back of him for the next couple of days.

3:57 pm

Soodle

Ah, Jm....You have travelled the path of many a Babbler :-)

3:57 pm

MollyL

Hi Jmdobie. Soodle, glad you got your "fix".

3:58 pm

jmbdobie2

yes - lonely path isn't it?

3:58 pm

Soodle

Its lonely if you don't chat!!!

3:58 pm

MollyL

I've never been obsessed with finishing. This is something I do when I take a break. If I'm having a slow day and the grid is easy, sometimes I finish. But it's just about having fun for me.

3:59 pm

Soodle

Ditto!

3:59 pm

jmbdobie2

yep - i lost the fun part but i am working on getting back

4:00 pm

MollyL

On a more somber note, I found out today that someone at work is just as two-faced and just as big of a liar as I thought he was. No matter, I have ways of dealing with that. Life is too short to let that kind of crap ruin my day.

4:00 pm

Glantarell

Noswaith dda pawb - Good evening all

4:01 pm

MollyL

Hi Glant.

4:01 pm

Glantarell

Hi Molly - how are you doing?

4:02 pm

Deeha

Funny grid tonight, Im not finding it as easy as it looks!

4:02 pm

MollyL

Counting my blessings Glant. How's life in the new place?

4:02 pm

Soodle

Hiya Glan & Deeha :-)

4:03 pm

Glantarell

Life ikn the new place is slowly getting more organised - all the boxes made it in form the garage and got emptied in the right rooms.

4:03 pm

Glantarell

Hi Soodle, Deeha

4:03 pm

Glantarell

All I have to do now is find places for it all!

4:03 pm

Deeha

Hi folks

4:03 pm

Soodle

Oh the joys of moving house!

4:03 pm

Glantarell

Why are you counting your belssings? Did something happen?

4:04 pm

jmbdobie2

howdy deeha

4:04 pm

Glantarell

Soodle, despite all the stresses of moving house (and there have been a few) my mood lifts a little more each day, and it is lovely to have modern conveniences (railway station!) within walking distance...

4:05 pm

Glantarell

Hi Jmb

4:06 pm

Deeha

Do you know Caernarvon Castle jmb??

4:06 pm

jmbdobie2

hi glant! good to hear everything is getting every day

4:06 pm

Soodle

I must have missed all the talk about your moving, Glan.. I take it your still in 'God's own country'?

4:06 pm

Glantarell

I know Caernarfon Castle extremely well Deeha

4:07 pm

Glantarell

I am still in God's own country, now about 5 miles north of Caerphilly

4:08 pm

Glantarell

Bought a bungalow Soodle - now tht makes me feel old LOL

4:08 pm

Deeha

Out of curiosity- because it is an age since I was there - is there still an embroidery in the bookshop that was done by the Welsh WI's for the Investiture??

4:09 pm

Deeha

aper

4:09 pm

Deeha

SOOOORY!!!!

4:09 pm

Glantarell

I could find out easily Deeha, as I work there quite often, but can't answer because I never go in the shop!

4:09 pm

Glantarell

don't be sorry - I didn't have thta one LOL

4:10 pm

mab

I want to live in England. Please may I move to England?

4:10 pm

Deeha

My sister collected allthe bits, put them together and did the central emboidery of the castle. It would be nice if it was stillthere

4:11 pm

Glantarell

Don't move to England Mab - move to Wales - much better LOL because it's nearer to Ireland LOL - isn;t thta right Soodle?

4:11 pm

Soodle

You said it Glan!!!! LOL

4:11 pm

Glantarell

send me your email addy Deeha - mine's in my profile I think - and I'll find out and let you knw

4:12 pm

mab

I'm sorry. I was just realizing you are Welsh. oops. I would, but it's so far north. Gorgeous though.

4:12 pm

Soodle

Us Celts MUST stick together....

4:13 pm

Glantarell

I'm thinking Wales is warmer than Massachusetts - the Gulf Stream helps both Wales and Ireland with that

4:13 pm

mab

there's the rub: I haven't a drop of celtic blood. and I'm sure someone checks these things.

4:14 pm

Deeha

Lovely,many thanks, She also embroidered the -then-High Sheriff of Caernarvons banners - he was a builder and wanted castles on it, I remember her saying I've seen his buildings and they ought to be jerry built chicken houses!!

4:14 pm

mab

true. You don't get our dreadful winters.

4:14 pm

MollyL

Mab, we accept honorary Celts. *Waves Celtic wand*

4:15 pm

Deeha

My father was Llwelyn Williams so I think I can claim Celtic blood!!

4:15 pm

mab

oh Molls! Thanks!

4:15 pm

Glantarell

Mab, you do know the word 'mab' in Welsh means 'son'?

4:16 pm

mab

no, i did not

4:16 pm

Glantarell

Llywelyn Williams definitely suggests so Deeha..

4:16 pm

mab

i was thinking i was queen of the fairies

4:16 pm

Glantarell

plural is meibion

4:16 pm

MollyL

Another EXCELLENT reason to make you an honorary Celt.

4:16 pm

Deeha

Familymoved from the Rhondda at the turn of the century - the last one not this one!

4:17 pm

mab

my favorite writer lives in Wales. Kate Atkinson.

4:17 pm

Deeha

Didnt know that I like her too

4:17 pm

Soodle

Just finished a great Kate Atkinson book - 'When will there be good news'. I really enjoyed it.

4:18 pm

mab

I read that. it was good. she writes so beautifully.

4:18 pm

Glantarell

I am working with Bernard Knight to create a murder mystery evening in Caerphilly Caslte in June.

4:19 pm

Glantarell

He is wiritng the introduction and the plot and I think I get to help write the clues, and provide artefacts to go with the clues...

4:19 pm

mab

how wonderful!

4:19 pm

Glantarell

I haven't read any Kate Atkinson, I must add her to my list

4:19 pm

mab

Maybe Kate will come

4:20 pm

Glantarell

we will have 40 people roaming the castle on midsummer's eve, trying to work out who killed the victim...

4:20 pm

Glantarell

...and how...

4:20 pm

Deeha

Wow how I envy you. I love research and I loive making up quizzes etc. What an evening that promises to be.

4:21 pm

mab

her first book 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum, is a regular literary novel. Now she does seem to be a mystery writer.

4:22 pm

Deeha

Oh blow I dont think I know 27 words beginning with F !!

4:23 pm

Glantarell

all particpants stat with a glass of wione in the Great Hall, where Bernard reads the intoduction and set the scene, then they will divide into 8 teams of 5, and explore the castle for an hour, seeking clues (and maybe bumping into the medieval murderer) and then come back to the Hall, have wine and canpes while Bernard looks at theor score sheets and decides who won. Should be good!

4:23 pm

Glantarell

you do Deeha, you do...

4:24 pm

mab

how fun

4:25 pm

Soodle

Glan, that sounds like the best of fun. I would love to be part of it :-)

Soodle

When is all this happening,

4:29 pm

Glantarell

An evening at Raglan Castle - a medieval poet once said 'the wine rivers of Eiurope run through Raglan's cellars' - he thenm proceeded to lost them. We have a wine merchant coming and doing a wine tasting evening with the modern equivalents of thos ewnes, whilst poetry is read - praising the Lords of the area - and people can try their hand at creating their own 'praise poems' toasting their heroes.

4:29 pm

Glantarell

The Caerphilly event is 21st June

4:29 pm

Glantarell

Raglan event is this summer but can't remember the date... look on the Cadw website, it will be there soon

Paneer is in the grid... bit like Halloumi - better fried than raw

4:55 pm

Glantarell

but Enable does recognise the medieval wooden under-shoe

4:56 pm

YadNivek

Clean slate indeed. AND I can get my license back; MI had a hold on it

4:56 pm

Soodle

Oh, Martin Sheen is on Irish TV. I met him, with his two hunky sons a couple of years ago. (sorry for name dropping...)

4:57 pm

Clean slates are good, Yad!! :-)

4:58 pm

Do any of you have a Sporcle addiction in addition to our communal Babble addictions?

4:58 pm

4:59 pm

Glantarell

I'v never heard of Sporcle...

Nope, I don't have a sporcle addiction. But now that you mentioned it, I'm sure I will develop a chronic addiction.

5:43 pm

P.J.

hi mrp :)

5:44 pm

mrpresident

hello PJ :)

5:44 pm

uusue2

ha, ok, your clue made more sense when I saw it was for a 7-letter word, not an 8 :-P

5:44 pm

uusue2

and I am doing well, glad that it is Friday!

5:45 pm

mrpresident

T.F.I.F feeling hey?
I am sitting in saturday morning :)

5:46 pm

uusue2

yeah, things will get a little busy again this weekend so I am enjoying the evening!

5:46 pm

mrpresident

i am about to go make some breakfast for the sleeping beauties here... it is almost 11am!

5:46 pm

mrpresident

same usue, I am having the whole 'birthday weekend' experience for Maddie.

5:47 pm

uusue2

ooh, probably they should start thinking about getting up, then! although I know as they get older they sleep in later and later!!

5:47 pm

mrpresident

they sleep in till the bloody afternoon!!

5:47 pm

P.J.

enjoy your day,it is 6:45 pm here dinner time

5:48 pm

uusue2

yeah, sometimes on the weekend my son doesn't get up until 3 pm or so!! and then he wonders why he can't get up for his 9 am class Monday morning!!

5:48 pm

mrpresident

oooh, dinner time! see ya PJ and have a nice one

5:49 pm

mrpresident

I think boys are worse in that sense... my friends boys don't get up until 4 or 5 pm sometimes... at least Maddie will be up by 1pm cause she wants to catch up with her girlfriends

5:50 pm

uusue2

and he can't fool me this semester - because I am TEACHING his 9 am class! I know when he's there and when he isn't!!

5:50 pm

mrpresident

haha!! good on you!

5:50 pm

uusue2

*sigh*

5:51 pm

uusue2

did I tell you that I am retiring in June? I am so excited!

5:51 pm

mrpresident

we have a really good system at school... they have role call for every class, and if they are not at a class, I get a text message

5:51 pm

P.J.

thanks mep :)

5:52 pm

mrpresident

I think that the kids are more scared of their parents knowing they skip class, than the teachers :))

5:52 pm

mrpresident

Retirement!!! no!

5:52 pm

uusue2

as well they should be :-)

5:52 pm

uusue2

I may do some traveling - better watch out! :-)

5:53 pm

mrpresident

I can't wait!! come on over!!

5:53 pm

mrpresident

retirement is only a 1 year deal... you will be back and working for pleasure I am sure!

5:54 pm

uusue2

it's actually a pretty good deal here (technically I work for the state of Illinois) - after I'm off for 60 days I can come back and teach

5:54 pm

uusue2

and as long as I earn less than about $40,000 they won't cut my pension

5:54 pm

uusue2

so maybe I will teach one or two of the small fun courses :-)

5:54 pm

mrpresident

perfect then! that is how it is here too... but I think you have to be off for 180 days

5:56 pm

mrpresident

i would love to teach at a college here... that would be fun

5:56 pm

uusue2

as a retiree I will even get free parking :-)

5:56 pm

mrpresident

free parking?? where at?

5:57 pm

uusue2

at the university - right now I have to pay for a parking pass

5:57 pm

mrpresident

ah! i thought it was a free parking pass to anywhere! LOL

5:58 pm

uusue2

not quite :-)

5:58 pm

uusue2

but I've done the math and my take home pay shouldn't actually change much, since they won't be taking out for retirement, and I don't have to pay state income tax on my pension (still have to pay the federal tax, though)

5:59 pm

mrpresident

well, that is great news! retirement is a long way off for me! it is definitely something 'earned'

5:59 pm

uusue2

Indeed. Twenty years ago I would have told you that I never planned to retire, but things change...

5:59 pm

mrpresident

the retirement laws and taxes change all the bloody time! not worth looking at until it actually happens to me.

6:00 pm

uusue2

same here! it is so complicated!

6:01 pm

mrpresident

hey, since sliding into my 40s and galloping towards 50s, i have noticed some changes that i prayed wouldn't have happened!

6:02 pm

uusue2

no kidding :-(

6:02 pm

mrpresident

brb, going to scratch up breakfast :)

6:03 pm

uusue2

take care!

6:07 pm

MollyL

Wow Sue, that is an amazing deal, financially. Good for you.

6:09 pm

uusue2

it really is - I am very grateful (although I could have earned a lot more money working in industry - lots of tradeoffs...)

6:17 pm

8:48 pm

dcseain

i usualy spend about 2k or so every 2 years on glasses -- i get polycarbonate progressives an bleeding edge fashionable frames. My glasses are one thing i'm rather vain and fashion-conscious about.

My grandmother would have said or6 is just right.

8:59 pm

8:59 pm

suefrad625

my mom's hair is salt and pepper now, and mine is catching up to hers quickly, despite the 22 years between us.

9:09 pm

carleekat

( lurking and finding words..first grid i have done in months)

9:09 pm

FranMag

i've never had thick hair, but it's been strange since my daughter was born...the texture changed. :-(

9:10 pm

carleekat

mine is going grey....i have always had stick straight hair...and the greys are thick and kinky :-s

9:10 pm

dcseain

my sister's hair has texture like mine since she birthed her first son. Before that, it was much straighter. She's still blonde though.

9:10 pm

FranMag

9:11 pm

carleekat

9:12 pm

Jacula

I remember my Mum telling me that the 23 year difference between our ages wouldn't matter one day. We'd just look like two old women walking down a street she told me.

9:13 pm

FranMag

9:13 pm

dcseain

Jacula

I never actually agreed with her, but I've just had a message from my 25-year-old daughter that tells me she'sd now 'in there' with me and Grandma. Damn! I just knew at the time when we did it that we should not have embarrassed her brother by walking as a team down the high street, bobbing our heads like pigeons just to see what it felt like!

9:18 pm

FranMag

hey, weren't you going out, nrkii?

9:18 pm
