If this keeps up, I think we are going to have to invest in a Weather Radio for the first time in our lives.

12:54 am

rururocks

sore

12:55 am

rururocks

bad day today.. but in the scheme of things.. okay

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

from move, hubby started having pain in his good knee... not sure if it is going to settle down or require surgergy :(

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

Do you have to have surgery? I can't remember what you told me they decided.

12:55 am

rururocks

oh.. it's a tough decision

12:56 am

rururocks

I do.. but I"m stalling

12:56 am

rururocks

I have to recover from taxes

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

It IS tough; you don't want them whacking anywhere, unless it is necessary. Do you need repair or replacement?

12:57 am

rururocks

repair to start.. if that doesn't work replacement

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

My cleaning helper just had a Zimmer knee replacement, and she is doing well, but you just never know.

12:57 am

rururocks

I had to write a gigantic check to the irs today

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

Hubby had his torn meniscus fixed the end of Nov, and he did fantastic, but this is the other one. So did we... I've been pissed and depressed all day. HATE it!!!

12:58 am

rururocks

on top of huge quarterly payments.. it's so frustrating. I find it hard to save

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

Tired of no breaks for the middle class... lose way too much in taxes. Ditto that... we're pretty baffled.

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

And being self employed ... the double hit on soc sec

12:59 am

rururocks

yep..

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

It sucks.

1:00 am

rururocks

we just barely scratch up the $$ every year

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

Now we even lost the medical deductions we used to get... here, too... especially with the downpymt on new house with other not sold yet... I empathize!

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

I don't know exactly how our friends do it; we seem more frugal, but still struggle...

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

Not sure what we aren't doing correctly.

1:02 am

rururocks

me too

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

Another reason for you wanting to delay surg, I'm sure

1:03 am

rururocks

yeah I just don't have the $$ to do it

1:03 am

rururocks

my Mri and bone scan were $7 K and I have to pay half of it

1:03 am

rururocks

ugh

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

That is really sucky - especially when the premiums are so high to begin with. We paid 20K in prem last year, and our coverage gets worse every year. Obama's plan is certainly not the answer for us, but there has to be a better way than what is offered now.

1:05 am

jillibus

We like our Canadian system.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

Aging of America is killing us medically speaking and insurance wise (and coverage)....

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

But we have a lot of Canadian docs in our county who came here to practice... so there are issues even there. I really don't know what the answers are...

1:07 am

rururocks

me neither..

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

Canada's waiting time for gall bladder surgeries is almost 4 x longer than here... I want great medical care for less $, and I just don't think that is possible any more... worries me for my kids and grandkids.

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

Maybe our expectations are too high.

1:08 am

rururocks

I'm one who never, ever has to go to the doctor other than annual check-ups.. I've not costed Blue Shield a dime.. yet..

1:09 am

rururocks

now I'm getting all kinds of flack from them..it's awful

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

I am thankful every day I don't have to change RA meds... some of them are over 25K a year... we will not be able to afford the out-of-pocket

1:09 am

jillibus

Dee, it depends where you live in Canada. Each province has its own system but all have universal health care -- no bills for surgeries or doctors' visits or the nursing care I've been receiving for 4 months.

1:09 am

rururocks

that's wonderful dee.. that's what health care is all about

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

same thing happened with my husband... absolutely not fair... he's only seen doctors a handful of times in 35 years

1:10 am

rururocks

well.. jilli.. it's not like you're a normal canadian.. you're jillibus the world famous babbler

1:10 am

jillibus

silly ru

1:10 am

rururocks

... at least in our world :)

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

fabulous, jili! How much of your taxes (what %) goes toward healthcare in Canada?

1:11 am

rururocks

39% of my income went to taxes

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

The sad part is - these issues are making our middle class disappear

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

close to that, ru :(

1:12 am

jillibus

Dee, I have no idea the % of taxes got to health care. In BC we pay a monthly $64 premium -- other provinces just use taxes and have no premiums.

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

I was just curious...not free, so someone is paying, so it has to be funded by taxes somewhere.

1:14 am

jillibus

Oh sure, but it's amortised over the whole population.

1:14 am

rururocks

Canada doesn't piss away trillions of dollars in overseas wars volley

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

Well, ru, I hope your pain settles down, as well as your stress level. Thanks for the chat; I hate that you are going through same thing, but it's nice to know it's not just us. I guess the Bible's comment about not worrying about tomorrow is good advice - take one day at a time...otherwise, stress will do us in.

2:45 am

rubyfoo

and good morning

2:47 am

grannyrose

hello, my darling. how are things today?

2:48 am

rubyfoo

winter has come back! After a week of nasty rain, now it is windy and cold -- horrible

2:48 am

rubyfoo

and husband's daughter is arriving tomorrow morning. I was hoping it would be warm enough for the two of us to work in the garden but now I don't think so.

2:48 am

grannyrose

ugh...sounds horrible. we have had some brilliant autumn weather over here. want some?

2:48 am

rubyfoo

How are you, sweetie?

2:50 am

grannyrose

ruby, some days are good, some bad. today was ok. but the time has come for me to make THE decision. not if, but when i have my surgery. ( my toatal knee replacement) the darn thing keeps locking on me, then i can't stand, can't move. makes for interesting times if i'm at work.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

that is a big step (pardon the expression). Will they put you on paid leave at work?

2:51 am

rubyfoo

that is a big step (pardon the expression). Will they put you on paid leave at work?

2:51 am

rubyfoo

ow long is the recovery period?

2:52 am

grannyrose

8 weeks recovery. will have equivalent o9f 4 weeks sick leave , end of May. then long service leave in June.

2:53 am

rubyfoo

do you have a good suply of reading matter?

2:54 am

rubyfoo

do you like books on CD? Husband bought a Henning Mankell on CD by mistake and I can send it to you (if, unlike us, you know how to use it!)

2:54 am

rubyfoo

supply*

2:54 am

grannyrose

how is ruffino? gorgeous, i bet. and you, dearest, please stay well and warm. you must, 'cos end of this year, i may be planning my exccursion to europe.

2:55 am

rubyfoo

that would be soooo wonderful! He is great and should have his adult teeth and not be biting evrything by then.

2:55 am

rubyfoo

For the moment, the house is full of mud - two dogs, a million muddy paw prints

2:56 am

grannyrose

ruby, my dear sister-in-law gave me a subscription to 2 puzzle magazines for christmas. and i will be stock piling as many books as possible before the time. will google henning mankell, i don't that author.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

he is Swedish and his books are terrific. I would be happy to send the CD's as I'm sure wyou would like them. You just have to picture Kenneth Branagh in the role of Inspector Wallander!

2:57 am

grannyrose

but ruby, where would you be without the darlings? mud or not, i think they are such a joy to you.

2:58 am

rubyfoo

it's true. This house without dogs would be bleak, indeed

2:58 am

grannyrose

now that's an interesting thought....a swedish inspector wallander.....

2:59 am

rubyfoo

there was a TV series in English, but they only showed part of it here

2:59 am

6:49 am

carleekat

6:49 am

lbdawger

glad you brought a family member to the fold, bojazz

6:50 am

bojazz

she's way better than me, good at words always

6:51 am

lbdawger

i didn't have teenagers, just a husband and two dogs, grad assistant to a department of needy males. but my drive was only about 10 minutes to university.

6:52 am

lbdawger

i think those instructors who think they are the only teachers are a royal pain. a book a week!!! give me strength!

6:53 am

carleekat

oh..my drive is an hour each way....i have full course load and i work 30 hours a week here at home

6:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

6:54 am

lbdawger

6:54 am

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo BOOK!!

6:54 am

carleekat

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for book!!!

6:56 am

carleekat

yea..pretty much....my son started dishes a week ago...i let the water out of the sink 3 days later....I put my blinders on and go to my room...i am NOT going to get upset and lose focus...i just go to my room to work or sleep

6:56 am

Book Doctor Gwen

naptime, bye y'alls

6:56 am

carleekat

sweet dreams book

6:57 am

lbdawger

that's what you need to do, carlee. either they chip in to help or everything waits til you can come out and do it. but i really believe in the teens chipping in and REALLY helping.

6:57 am

lbdawger

sweet sleeps, book

6:59 am

carleekat

well not to excuse my son ( its not an excuse but is a contributing factor) he has had both of his long time best friends move away in last couple months ( out to west coast so visits if they happen will be rare) and he has great friends but few friends...he is not a social butterfly...

6:59 am

carleekat

so between being depressed abotu that and spending as much time together as they could...

7:00 am

carleekat

he's not a drinker or partier... i never have to "worry" about him getting into trouble... so I pick my battles

7:01 am

carleekat

no 6 anyone?

7:02 am

lbdawger

this is going to sound mean...he needs to MAN UP!! i understand being lonely, and it is sad. but his mom needs his assistance in taking care of the house. I'm not saying go out and work, just do the dishes, run the sweeper, nothing extraordinary.

7:02 am

lbdawger

a stenographer takes no***ion.

7:03 am

carleekat

i agree dawg..but I am now into exams...my first one thurs... I leave wed..and dont come back until they are done...

7:03 am

carleekat

i am not going to rock the boat this late in the ga4 my blinders are on for 2 days

7:03 am

lbdawger

yup, choose your battles. it definitely isn't worth it over dirty dishes. I'm sure he's a good boy.

7:04 am

carleekat

and my last was a ga4 thanks for the no6 dawg..first puzzle i have done in months

7:04 am

3:01 pm

Good Enough

we were just at school getting set up with a 504 plan. he's jr in high school, has had diabetes for 10 years and only now is anyone suggesting a 504.

3:01 pm

uusue2

if it's any consolation, my son failed physics twice - is now taking it the third time, with me (so he can't fool me into thinking he's in class when he isn't)

3:02 pm

Good Enough

oh sue, that's gotta hurt

3:02 pm

uusue2

it's mostly due to emotional issues on his part - struggles with depression, and also time management

3:03 pm

uusue2

and I'm not sure what a 504 plan is (is it like an IEP?) but it sounds like something he should have had all along

3:03 pm

Good Enough

yes my son's version of time mgt is ignore it long enough it will go away

3:04 pm

Good Enough

yes with a 504 he can get stop the clock testing on timed tests like the ACT and AP tests

3:05 pm

Good Enough

i guess when someone saw he got a 6 on the practice ACT that maybe there is an issue there.

3:06 pm

uusue2

oh, good, I am glad they are doing that. That should be a big help for him.

negativeneil

Wow... is it just me or do the letters on the grid tiles look a lot bigger than they used to? Of course, I've just been on Weboggle, so maybe it's from staring at the smaller letters on those grids.

how are you today? how's your leg doing, anyway?

legs are okay.. i'm coping

9:41 pm

well that's all right I guess. I was going really well with my hip for many months, but I overdid it a couple weeks ago and didn't ask Tom for help right away so I am "coping" too.

I pay a small fortune in gasoline these days -- last time I filled up the van almost $70. I hate that it takes almost an entire's day pay to fill the van with gas. Can't afford to buy a more efficient car! Can't afford to save toward a new car when the gas takes it all. Carpooling with Tom as much as possible, but sometimes my work is the opposite direction. Just wish I could count mileage against taxes, but I don't think I can.

Pining for the fjords?

10:46 pm

torgone

Wait, that's parrots, not budgies ..

10:53 pm

stidmama

back. every time grant takes them out, first one and then the other goes "WAAAAAACK!" and dives out of his hand and flutters to the ground. Usually in front of the dog. *sigh*

10:54 pm

stidmama

maybe pining for the fjordlets...

10:55 pm

stidmama

I am almost ready for tomorrow, am teaching a lesson of my own design (which I only get to do a little bit as a sub) so I have been obsessing about the details. This is the wonderful teacher I student taught with, so I really like to do it right for her.

10:58 pm

torgone

That's cool min - the teaching I mean, not the budgies trying to become dog food ..

10:59 pm

torgone

*stid* not min .. I'm doing to much multi-slacking for this time of day ..

11:00 pm

stidmama

LOL well... it's my goal to develop enough super lesson plans that when I go in to interview I can show people what it's about!

11:00 pm

stidmama

it's okay tor -- I knew who you meant.

are you moved into your new place now?

11:01 pm

stidmama

and I am watching dancing with the stars while I chat, so highly distracted, too -- one of these days I want my hip to be better enough that I can dance again. I really miss it. Not the fancy lifts, just good old dancing. *nostalgic sigh*

11:03 pm

torgone

Oh yes, all moved in - he said, looking at the unpacked boxes sitting right next to him ..

11:05 pm

stidmama

LOL after 12 + years I still have boxes, tor -- glad you are there! Would send you some flowers from my garden if I lived closer -- you put a little tablecloth on the boxes, and a vase of flowers on top and pretend it's all intentional...

11:08 pm

stidmama

okay, it's my actual bedtime, but I need to finish a couple things. Back tomorrow evening if I can. enjoy the new digs, tor! *poof*
