one of my buddies got really, really drunk at his bachelor party.. and passed out.. one of our friends was a pre-med so we put one of his legs in a case.. and told him a few days before his wedding that he broke a bone in his leg.. so he had to do his whole wedding with a tuxedo slit up the leg and on crutches.. he was always pulling jokes on everyone else so we got him back.. on his honeymoon.. someone called him to tell him he could take of the cast and he just howled with laughter

1:34 am
rbud
had a friend at our party last week talking about how "common sense" is an oxymoron, and he's going to start calling it "uncommon sense", since it's now so rare. I had to agree, lol
1:34 am

3:36 am
grannyrose
but the one liner, where the topic of a 40th wedding anniversary celebration.....how to do so.....and the reply was....one minute's silence....had himself guffawing
3:37 am
rubyfoo
it sounded wonderful from the reviews
3:37 am
rubyfoo
<-- loves judi dench and maggie smith!
3:38 am
grannyrose
ruby, it is definitwely a must see. judy dench, maggie smith....they are absolutely marvellous.
3:38 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, I'll have to wait 'til it's on TV; husband won't go to the movies
3:39 am
grannyrose
lol, snap ruby
3:39 am
rubyfoo
and I don't want to see it dubbed in French with my friend who won't see original language films
3:40 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, let me see what i can work out from this end. will talk later.
3:43 am
grannyrose
btw, my canary, appropriately named psycho, has had to be moved out of mother mac's rooms.
3:43 am
rubyfoo
was he dive-bombing?
3:44 am
gapeach
May I please have a clue for re7-32? Thannks
3:44 am
grannyrose
the heat in her rooms makes him pull his feathers out. and, yes, we do have to keep the temperature up that high. she has a cardiac problems, and if she gets too cold, she has angina attacks.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
{{peach}}
3:45 am
grannyrose
peach, re7, wash again, then plural for re8
3:45 am

rufie has a "hot spot", now measuring about 5 inches in diameter but I think it's under control

Thanks so much, rose!

3:46 am
negativeneil
Rose?
3:46 am
grannyrose
ruby, where abouts is rufie's hot spot?
3:46 am
rubyfoo
the vet said, in French "we call this a 'hot spot' in France" lol
3:46 am
grannyrose
yes neil
3:46 am
gapeach
How in the world are you my dear?
3:47 am
rubyfoo
I was worried sick that he was allergic to something I was feeding him and that it was my fault
3:47 am
negativeneil
Check this out:

3:47 am
rubyfoo
it is in the depression on his back where chows keep their curly tails, so he keeps biting it
3:47 am
rubyfoo
happily, our vet makes huse calls
3:48 am
grannyrose
thanx neil, will do. and ruby, is it worth clipping his fur/hair in that area to keep it cooler?
3:49 am
rubyfoo
the vet clipped a lot of the hair, but it's a question of his letting it heal
3:49 am
gapeach
Sort of a Dr. Herriot. Remember the English vet that wrote those wonderful books a few decades ago?
3:49 am
negativeneil
You have a psychotic canary, Rose?
3:49 am
rubyfoo
I could face the idea of an Elizabethan collar for such a sweetie
3:49 am
negativeneil
Maybe he needs a... yeah, a cone.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
couldn't*
3:50 am
negativeneil
Well I could if it meant the wound would heal.
3:50 am
negativeneil
And you could put some medicated ointment on it too, if the vet recommends that?
3:50 am
negativeneil
It's not like he'd have to wear it permanently.
3:50 am
negativeneil
I've read those books, gapeach.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
oh yes, he has a cortisone cream, betadine, antibiotics and a calmant. I think he'll be OK.
3:51 am
negativeneil
"All Creatures Great And Small", "All Things Bright And Beautiful"... yeah. They were good. Made into a TV series too.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
he has such a good disposition, wagged his tail the whole time the vet was here and she was medicating him and giving him shots, that I don't want him to be more upset
3:51 am
grannyrose
yes neil my canary is psychotic...problem is he thinks he's a budgerigar....and acts like it.
3:52 am
negativeneil
Huh Rose?
3:52 am
rubyfoo
Ruby, who hadn't seen this vet in 3 years and who only had her nails clipped, remembers her and growls! chows are like elephants
3:52 am
negativeneil
Why would he think he's a budgie? Does he live with some?
3:52 am
negativeneil
Dogs don't forget people Ruby. At least our 2 never did.
3:53 am
negativeneil
Did you see that photo yet Rose?
3:53 am
negativeneil
Figured you'd laugh.
3:53 am
gapeach
Ruby, did you find the book "A Gift from Brittany"? I kept it on my desk for a while....thought I'd send it over to you.....someone, obviously, snitched it.
3:53 am
rubyfoo
aand chows are totally unforgiving
3:53 am
grannyrose
don't know, neil. he just behaves like one. any paper left near his cage he shreds. he loves his mirror, and little ladder, and swing.
3:53 am
rubyfoo
it's on order, peach. Thanks for recommending it
3:54 am
grannyrose
omg, neil, that's you????how old are you there?
3:55 am
gapeach
I think you will like it. It reminds me of you...
3:55 am
grannyrose
even the shop from where we bought him can't work it out. and he is such a beautiful singer.
3:59 am
negativeneil
I was 12 there, Rose! Haha.
4:00 am
negativeneil
Don't canaries usually like mirrors, ladders and swings?
4:00 am
negativeneil
Canary song is beautiful.
4:01 am
negativeneil
And I've just replied to your last email btw.
4:02 am
grannyrose
no neil, ladders etc don't usually amuse them. my canary sits on the perch below his swing, and as he sings, hits the swing with his head so that it swings in time to his song. and you should see him in his bath....
4:02 am
gapeach
May I please have a clue for ol5-12? Thanks
4:02 am
grannyrose
he gets into his bath, and his little feet go up and down, like he is paddling...it is soooo cute
4:03 am
negativeneil
Sounds funny, Rose!
4:03 am
negativeneil
He's a real character huh?
4:03 am
grannyrose
ol5, spanish cheer + In Charge
4:03 am
negativeneil
Aww. You should get video of him doing that!
4:05 am
grannyrose
he gives us all so much delight....but mother mac will be saddened by the fact we have had to move him out of her rooms. he is just outside her doorway, so she can come out and talk to him. and we will put him back once the heating is no longer required
4:05 am
gapeach
It's after 5:00AM here.....think I'll head to my bed.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
{{peach}} sweet dreams
4:06 am
gapeach
Great talking with you, rose and Ruby. Perhaps we will get to talk later.
4:06 am
grannyrose
should think so, peach, hope you can get some good zzz's in.
4:06 am
negativeneil
Good night... or morning, gapeach.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
and I'll let you know when I've read the book
4:07 am
negativeneil
Canaries don't like much heat, Rose?
4:09 am
grannyrose
well, they do neil, but there has to be a cool spell inbetween. they moult at the first sign of warm weather....but with the heater in mother mac's rooms, he thinks it is costantly summer. hence he pulls out his heathers.
4:10 am
rubyfoo
it's been fun and an easy 1230, but time to get moving.
4:10 am
negativeneil
Oh, ok.
4:10 am

ivesy3
it is fun. and i am learning.. i make the worlds worse snowflakes lol.. but we have fun with the kids. every summer we have a program with different crafts, themes. this year its dream big... books, crafts all based on nite time activities..
6:15 am
lilliann
lol...but that's the fun of making things.sounds great ivesy. do alot of children get involved?
6:17 am
ivesy3
oh yes.. we are swamped all summer. good feeling seeing the little ones be involved with their parents. the one who reads the most books gets their name on a plaque in a book of their choice.
6:18 am
wvteach
our library has a summer program too - good to get them into the library with something fun to do - see books as fun
6:20 am
ivesy3
agree wv.. my project this year is creatures of the night.. they will all dress up .. i think im going to be a vampire !
6:20 am
lilliann
lovely! when my daughter was younger, we use to go to the library every week and she'd get a ton of books and we'd sit down together and read through them and every night she'd get me to read her a story, well, normally ended up being a few..lol. she still likes to read now which is great!
6:21 am
lilliann
sounds fun ivesy
6:21 am
wvteach
do something with bats - and te positive things about bats - read book steelaluna
6:24 am
lilliann
i don't think children read enough....when i use to help out at my daughter's old school with reading, there were 10 year olds who couldn't read...the parents didn't do anything to help them either as they said that was the schools job!!
6:24 am
ivesy3
good idea.. we plan on hanging paper bats from ceiling and making spider cookies out of oreos..also can go the space way, with stars, moon, etc
6:25 am
wvteach
i think kids read more if they see parents read
6:25 am
ivesy3
as you can see i get a bit carried away about my job. but the library has always been my fave place.
6:26 am
lilliann
i agree teach. the problem is that kids are too busy playing on game stations,wii games, etc
6:27 am
wvteach
only if parents let them - they need to read but also to be outside playing
6:27 am
lilliann
it's good that you love your job ivesy, which is great for the kids as they see that you are enjoying what you do and that makes it more fun for them
6:30 am

i agree teach...my daughter has a nintendo ds but she's not on it all the time...she's not allowed to for one thing, but she plays out every day and reads before bed

oh I agree. My kids love to be outdoors, and my daughter is an avid reader. My son is not so much of a reader, but he can get into a book and really enjoy it from time to time. It takes work from the parents, but it is absolutely possible, even in these computer game times.

7:20 am
lilliann
i like ac5/20 had it in jamaica
7:20 am
sprite
never looked it up, thought it was a kind of exclamation, lol. Will check it out for meaning now.
7:21 am
lilliann
it's a fruit sprite
7:21 am
sprite
ok... tree of the soapberry family... will try and remember!
7:22 am
lilliann
we were shown some trees when we went on a trip
7:22 am
sprite
oh, pretty fruits!
7:23 am
lilliann
they are :)
7:26 am
sprite
I think that one justifies my playing today. My new thing learned. Thanks :)
7:28 am
lilliann
yw, glad i could help :) most of the words i learn on here every day are new to me :)
7:29 am
sprite
same for me, always something new to learn in Babble. Love it :)
7:30 am
lilliann
i only wish i could remember them all!
7:31 am
sprite
I know I cannot remember them all at once, so I pick one or two that are new for me, and try to remember those. The rest will have to wait for another day, lol.
7:33 am
sprite
this one I will remember now. Promise :)
I will remember how wrong I was, and how pretty the berries look, and that you can eat them.
7:35 am
lilliann
lol. i can't remember what i'm doing at times, so i have no hope remembering these words.at times i can't remember words to speak, so it is "give us a clue" drives my hubby and daughter potty...but i can't help it! that's why i play this game, to help:)
7:36 am
lilliann
i only know it because i've eaten it :)
7:37 am
sprite
see, no matter how you remember, you do! And I think this is a great game to help you train the brain. Works for me as well. I have trouble saying the words I am thinking. Like thinking 'rain' and saying 'umbrella' or something like that. Or sometimes not related at all. Very odd.
7:38 am
lilliann
what drives me mad, is that i can see the word in my head, or a picture of the meaning but i can't say it!!
7:38 am
lilliann
just like you :)
7:39 am
sprite
must be utterly frustrating!
My family is kind enough to laugh at me when I say weird things, so at least I notice when I do it, lol.
7:40 am
lilliann
mine sometimes laugh at me and other times they get annoyed!it drives me mad though as i use to have a brilliant memory but when my balance was destroyed, my memory got worse...don't know why?
7:43 am
sprite
the brain is a weird thing and they don't know much about how it works, no matter how much they think they know.I can relate to having a great memory... used to have one too! No idea why it goes when things get rough. Maybe the energy is needed elsewhere?
7:45 am
lilliann
i know that the memory part of the brain is next to the balance part, so that could be why, but i don't know how it would have been affected? could be sprite.who knows?
7:46 am
sprite
well, not me, for sure :)
The only thing I know, because my psychiatrist told me, is that the more the learn about the brain, the more they realise almost everything is reversable. The brain has an amazing talent for recuperating. So I keep hope :)
7:48 am
lilliann
hope is a good thing to have sprite:)
7:48 am
sprite
it is :) Pretty essential, I think.
7:52 am
lilliann
well my word to try and remember will be the sa7...new one for me
7:54 am
lilliann
apparently it's a plant from the parsley family and used in medicine
7:55 am
sprite
found it... new one for me too. Thanks :)

i love my cats, but when they bring me dead wild baby rabbits i'm not pleased, and my daughter won't get rid of them....
8:22 am
uusue2
hadn't thought of that, sprite - my last name starts with W so it is especially apt :-)
8:23 am
uusue2
ah, one of the advantages of indoor cats.
8:23 am
uusue2
anyway, can't stay but will be back later!
8:23 am

argh, that is not pleasant. However well meant.

sprite+lillian(if your still there) i can relate.chemo treatments do interesting things to the brain and thats why i do babble as well,to keep things sharp.i can stand there,look at a object like my briefcase,and have to go through an entire list to get it correct..suitcase,sample case etc and when under pressure or time constraints it gets worse

8:47 am
godthaab
I know someone who went over their handlebars and became a quadriplegic (sic).
8:48 am
crosshair
it does indeed happen
8:48 am
Scrabbler
OOOOWWWW. I do not do the reckless racing. Just a few times I have hit a hole or rock or mud and went flying. No major injuries fortunately. I am too old to be risky like some mtn biking can be.
8:48 am
Scrabbler
Yikes, godthaab
8:49 am
lilliann
ouch crossy!!
8:49 am
lilliann
how sad godthaab

I guess the good news is that he went on to become a gold medal winner in the Paraolympics. But still....
8:49 am
crosshair
they come upo to wasaga and do not read the signs and try to swim the nottawasaga river.it have a terrible undertow and 5-10 people a year used to be lost to it.it would suck thyem down mid rive and spit the bodies up at the mouth as it empties into the bay
8:50 am
lilliann
well, as they say, as one dorr closes another opens
8:51 am
crosshair
or dive off the bridges,not knowing it is 3 feet of water this year and break their necks...
8:51 am
crosshair
we brace for another summer...
8:51 am
lilliann
well, if they don't read the signs they have no-one else to blame!
8:51 am
crosshair
everything is marked
8:52 am
Scrabbler
Do you know what risk-takers are called by trauma ER staff?
8:52 am

*making a note to find out where crossy is based and not visit as it sounds a very dangerous place*
8:57 am
crosshair
glad to hear it br
8:57 am
Scrabbler
Hi BR. Has the snow melted up there yet?
8:57 am
crosshair
the place itself is not dangerous katie...it is the way people use it
8:57 am
Scrabbler
Haha, Kitt. I want to visit Crossy--it is a place of beauty and I would love to bring my kayak there.
8:57 am
crosshair
last of it went last week scrabby
8:58 am
crosshair
it is amazing as scrabby knows,as long as you use common sense
8:58 am
o-o
Snow is long gone very mild winter no flooding
8:58 am
KatieMcG
what is the weather like with you Scrabbler? we are at Niagara in two and a half weeks time
8:58 am
Scrabbler
Mild winter for us too although we got 8 inches on April 23rd and lost power for 5 hrs overnight.
8:59 am
crosshair
even where you live is dangerous katie if i act like a maniac
9:00 am
KatieMcG
that's true crossy - though I felt the swimmers hadn't done much wrong, that was down to other peoples stupidity
9:00 am
Scrabbler
We are having beautiful, sunny hot weather, Kitt, but we could get rain anytime.
9:01 am
crosshair
scrabby,mrs and i were spelunking last week and found our very own ice cave!! was 75f-80 f outside and we wound out way through,with much of it open to the sky and then all these sheets of ice hanging off the walls and in the fissues..was pretty
9:02 am
KatieMcG
we are only there for an an evening and then the next day until mid afternoon, just enough time to do maid in the mist and take loads of photos, we go on to Lake Erie for the night after that
9:02 am
KatieMcG
that sounds fantastic crossy
9:02 am
crosshair
it was katie
9:02 am
lilliann
sounds beautiful crossy
9:03 am
crosshair
you could feel the summer sun on your head through opening on roof of cave,but then all the cold radiatying from the ice sheets and fissures
9:03 am
Scrabbler
So COOL, Crossy!
9:03 am
lilliann
so i take it you are travelling around katie? how long are you going for?
9:03 am
Scrabbler
Kitt, what day will you be in NF?
9:04 am
crosshair
if you are as far as niagra katie,you should come up for a crossy breakfast
9:04 am
Scrabbler
And are you doing a boat trip on the lake?
9:05 am
KatieMcG
it will be 18 days in total. 1-4 June NY, 4/5 Niagara, 5/6 Lake Erie, then 6-10 Parkersburg WV, 11-14 Nashville, 15-18 Parkersburg. we are very excited.
9:05 am
Scrabbler
Kitt, my mother's home is just 20 min from Niagara Falls.
9:06 am
KatieMcG
yes scrabbler, we have even looked out our underwater camera for that very purpose :)
9:07 am
KatieMcG
Wow I can't imagine living that close to a world famous natural attraction
9:07 am
Scrabbler
Is the boat ride from Niagara Falls to Erie, Pennsylvania?
9:08 am
lilliann
sounds lovely. i hope you have a great time...i'm sure you will :)
9:08 am
lilliann
how lovely scrabs. i've always wanted to go there
9:09 am
KatieMcG
No we are just doing the maid in the mist, we will then drive to the inn we have booked on the shore of Lake Erie - I'll just go look up which one/where it is
9:09 am
Scrabbler
It is quite impressive. The force of water is amazing. I enjoy seeing the tourists there--they are so excited. And I hear so many languages!
9:09 am
Scrabbler
Kitt, I live just 45 min from the eastern lakeshore.
9:10 am
lilliann
i might get there one day. we want to hire a winniebago and travel around
9:10 am
Scrabbler
Good plan, Lil.
9:11 am
lilliann
it is scrabs, but whether it ever comes off who knows
9:11 am
KatieMcG
It's the Lakehouse Inn and Winery at Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio
9:11 am
Scrabbler
OK, that is probably 2 hrs from me.
9:12 am
lilliann
did you plan and book everything yourselves katie?
9:12 am
Scrabbler
I have 2 dream trips: Italy/Sicily, and the UK.
9:14 am
Scrabbler
Well, it is time for me to read the morning newspaper. I shall return. 122 words to go.
9:14 am
lilliann
i've been to italy in a lorryand been to loads of factories and lorry parks...great food still though but not quite the same as a dream trip..lol
9:14 am
KatieMcG
I would love to hire a winniebago :) Yes Lilliann. The main reason to go was to visit/meet the hubby's family in parkersburg. We added in NY as we have to change planes there and it means I get to spend my birthday in NY. Nashville came into play as I was quite ill with stress/depression last year and hubby wanted to cheer me up and I am a massive country music fan (very unusual in the UK) then Niagra and Lake Erie were just sensible places to visit lol
9:14 am
KatieMcG
Scrabbs if you come to the UK you have a place to stay here!!
9:15 am
lilliann
scrabs will have loads of place to stop :)
9:15 am
Scrabbler
TY, Kitt. There are many Babblers I would want to meet in the UK.
9:15 am
KatieMcG
won't she just! we are all so close in comparison to the states that we could just have one massive meet up
9:16 am
Scrabbler
I am very drawn to the UK countryside--rolling hills, old homes, cottages, farms, gardens.

9:19 am
KatieMcG
I'm much better now lilliann, you know how it is if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger, and it has certainly got me to prioritise my life much better. I now spend the miminum time I can at work and with those that I work with and the maximum time with my family, friends and Church.

9:23 am
rubyfoo
katie's plan sounds wonderful!
9:23 am
lilliann
my mam and dad had to have their dog canni put down last weekend :(
9:23 am
rubyfoo
I am OK but have just been through a scare with new puppy. He developed a "hot spot" and I was afraid it was because of what I was feeding him.
9:23 am
rubyfoo
The vet came twice and I think he's on the mend. What a wonderful dog!!!!
9:24 am
lilliann
"hot spot"?
9:24 am
crosshair
indeed katie,i am greatful to be where i am at the base of blue mtn on the shores of georgian bay.i 5 minutes i can be boating,water skiing,hiking,rock climbing,spelunking,or just a nice stroll trough the woods,in winter i can ice fish,ski it is amazing
9:24 am
KatieMcG
Oh that's such a shame lilliann
9:24 am
lilliann
glad to hear it ruby
9:24 am
rubyfoo
the vet said, in French, "He has what we call in France a "hot spot" m LOL
9:24 am
KatieMcG
Yep crossy that definitely beats Watford
9:24 am
lilliann
oh ok..lol
9:24 am
rubyfoo
He bit off all the fur and made a big sore in the indentation where chows keep their curly tails
9:25 am
lilliann
you're making me feel very jealous crossy
9:25 am
crosshair
poor puppy:(
9:25 am
rubyfoo
and husband needs crossy to come over here (on his trip to the UK) and kick DH's butt!!!!
9:27 am
crosshair
uh oh,hubby being bad boy?
9:27 am
lilliann
it was katie. he was only 4.apparently he was born without a vein from the liver which takes all the crap away and it was going to his brain.when he was on anti-biotics he was fine but when he wasn't it was just going to his brain. they said they could operate but there was no guarantee it would work and they didn't want to put him through major surgery for it not to work. he was a lovely little dog
9:27 am
rubyfoo
I am getting sick of his snarling (not the puppy)
9:28 am
crosshair
tell him we can type grumpy p.i.t.a on his headstone if thats how he wishes to be remembered,my f.i.l was same way
9:28 am
MollyL
You know what Ruby? I would quit cooking for someone until they can be pleasant.
9:28 am
MollyL
And serving him drinks.
9:29 am
rubyfoo
{{hello molly}}
9:29 am
rubyfoo
I do a minimum now, that's for sure
9:29 am
crosshair
if my wife actually served me a drink,i think i would fall off my chair in shock!!!
9:29 am
lilliann
i think alot of people get nasty and snarly when they get older
9:29 am
lilliann
lol crossy
9:29 am
lilliann
you spoil him too much ruby
9:30 am
rubyfoo
I feel sorry for him but, at this point, I'm just staying away from him as much as possible
9:30 am
KatieMcG
I know how they feel, our Ruby Judy cat was having real problems with her leg and I was worried about having to get her operated on when we didn't know if it was going to be successful. It wasn't the money it was putting her through it all and the rehab. We were so relieved when it came back as arthritis which can be managed with drugs. She won't live to a very old age but she isn't in pain and didn't have to have the op so it was good news.
9:30 am
MollyL
You know what Ruby? I feel sorry for you. Someone as nice and sweet as you are, should be appreciated.
9:31 am
crosshair
yes,when he expects things that you do for him and does not appreciate the things you do for him,it is best to let him fend for himself a bit
9:31 am
rubyfoo
thank you, molly, that is a nice thing to say
9:31 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, if he was younger, I could do more
9:31 am
KatieMcG
I just can't imagine not dumping the food in his lap
9:31 am
rubyfoo
but he's old and winding down and, therefore, depressed
9:31 am
lilliann
i'm glad to hear it katie
9:32 am
rubyfoo
when the vet came, she looked over my beloved Ruby and thought she looked great
9:32 am
rubyfoo
that was a relief because she, too, is getting old
9:32 am
lilliann
but that doesn't give him the excuse to take it out on you when you do so much for him ruby
9:33 am
rubyfoo
and she thought Rufie was magnificent (her word)
9:33 am
rubyfoo
there's nothing I can do about it
9:33 am
rubyfoo
"magnifique"
9:33 am
KatieMcG
I cried for days around all the tests as I really thought I was going to have to put her down and it would have been too much to bear, at least now we can appreciate our time with her even if it is a little shortened.
9:33 am
MollyL
No excuse at all. He has a lot to be grateful for. A loving wife, a beautiful home.
9:34 am
crosshair
i do not think i can ever wind down,too many books await and as long as i can hobble to the bathroom under my own steam and turn the pages of a book,i am all set
9:34 am
rubyfoo
<-- not so loving anymore
9:34 am
lilliann
awww, that's good ruby
9:34 am
rubyfoo
I love it here and just try to keep my own peace
9:35 am
rubyfoo
and it is finally real spring! flowers everywhere
9:35 am
crosshair
seen you pic ruby.you are pocket sized,can toss you over my shoulder and carry you anywhere:))
9:35 am
lilliann
atleast you have time with her katie which is great.we love our pets so much and they become part of the family so it is very hard when we lose them.
9:36 am
rubyfoo
katie, it is wonderful that the arthritis can be managed.
9:36 am
rubyfoo
losing an animal is terribly painful
9:37 am
rubyfoo
every time Rufie drinks from the fishpond, my heart is in my mouth
9:37 am
lilliann
the sad thing is it took years for my mam to talk my dad into getting another dog and he won't let her have another one now.canni (rascal in french) was suppose to be my mam'sdog, but he ended up being my dad's and it's hit him really hard
9:37 am
Anniebrook
hi ruby, glad to learn Rufie is on the mend
9:37 am
rubyfoo
but I never told husband what really happened to Max; there was no point in "sharing" that information
9:37 am
rubyfoo
{{annie}}
9:38 am
crosshair
no ruby,that he does not need to know
9:38 am
Anniebrook
ruby, is it possible that Burt is starting to suffer from dementia and that accounts for his nastiness
9:38 am
rubyfoo
he is depressed enough without feeling in any way responsible
9:38 am
rubyfoo
at 86, who isn't??? lol
9:39 am
crosshair
very good point annie,he should have some testing done as well as a general physical
9:39 am
Anniebrook
good point
9:39 am
rubyfoo
there's no point
9:39 am
rubyfoo
he has a regular GP who sees him fairly often, has blood tests and sees his cardiologist. As for his mental state, there is no way he would allow himself to be evaluated
9:40 am
MollyL
No point in what? Testing and a physical?
9:40 am
MollyL
How about depression medication?
9:40 am
rubyfoo
I would have to put it in his food and am afraid of its interaction with all the stuff he takes for his heart
9:41 am
rubyfoo
I think I just have to hang on and try to take care of him.
9:41 am
rubyfoo
and do my own stuff
9:41 am
lilliann
i'm sure the doctor could give him something that wouldn't interact with his other drugs
9:42 am
rubyfoo
as with so many older people, the doctors don't necessarily get together on the meds. And, when he sees his GP, he always acts much better
9:42 am
lilliann
and you could always tell him it's a vitamin that the doctor says he needs
9:43 am
rubyfoo
maybe zoloft?
9:44 am
lilliann
then as you say all you can do is have as much space from him as you can..otherwise you'll need anti-depressants
9:44 am
crosshair
we are lucky nhere with that ruby..we use a single pharmacy and all meds are accounted for and any potential reaction with any new meds are noted before they are issued to the patient
9:44 am
MollyL
Ask your doctor. I think there are depression meds specific for older people with depression.
9:45 am
rubyfoo
that's a good idea, molly. I will call him tomorrow and see what he says
9:45 am
lilliann
pharmacy's in france are good too ruby. you could ask a pharmacist if there is something he could have to go with his other medication
9:45 am
crosshair
as molly says,my grammy has problems with this in her early 80,s but with sucessful diagnosis and meds she went on to enjoy live and lived to 100!!
9:46 am
rubyfoo
and the pharmacist certainly knows everything he's taking
9:48 am
lilliann
you could have a word with him and see if there is something he could have over the counter if not he could tell you what he could have and then get a prescription from your gp
9:53 am
rubyfoo
and, meanwhile, with all you sweet people buoying me up, I've gotten nbt, nbs and more than half. Smiling now!!!
9:54 am
viajes
good morning
9:54 am
rubyfoo
hello viajes
9:55 am
viajes
Via's Fake Made-Up Not-in-the-Grid Word of the Day is... di7: a very small male unit
9:55 am
lilliann
hi viajes
9:55 am
lilliann
yay for ruby:)
9:55 am
rubyfoo
hmmm, putting monkeys to work looking for via's made-up word
9:55 am
MollyL
Dicklet! I love it.
9:56 am
viajes
you won't find it, it's not in the grid
9:56 am
rubyfoo
got it, lol
9:56 am
MollyL
It's a made up word Ruby, it doesn't count.
9:56 am
viajes
:) I thought you would like this one, Molly
9:56 am
KatieMcG
I'm sure I tried that in the grid earlier lol
10:00 am
viajes
well with Enable you never know Katie... it could turn out to be some sort of knitting stitch, or a foreign word for a hat
10:00 am
MollyL
Or the currency of Outer Ubangistan
10:01 am
viajes
Oh yes. I think it would be a great name for a currency! The big money could be called dicks and the little money could be called dicklets. "That'll be six dicks and fourteen dicklets."
10:02 am
crosshair
no,thats a niggi molly or a pu which is a triangular coin made of rubber that is 3 miles across:)
10:02 am
viajes
oops, PB for me
10:02 am
crosshair
crossy loves douglas adams;))
10:02 am
rubyfoo
it will be as worthless as euros!
10:02 am
lilliann
lol viajes :)
10:03 am
rubyfoo
who is douglas adams?
10:03 am
crosshair
the problem was the exchange rate of 3 pus to a niggi,so they never caught on:))
10:03 am
viajes
which book is that crossy? been so long since I read them...
10:03 am
MollyL
The currency thing is open to so many possibilities. "Hey, I'm a little short this week, Can you lend me a dick?"
10:03 am
viajes
I just re-read the first Dirk Gently book
10:03 am
crosshair
douglas adam books hitchhikers guide to the galaxy ruby..well worth the read if you love monty python style dry british humour
10:04 am
rubyfoo
ty crossy
10:04 am
rubyfoo
hahah Molly
10:05 am
viajes
"It's unpleasantly like being drunk." "What's so unpleasant about being drunk?" "Ask a glass of water."
10:05 am
viajes
Molly and I are both in the PB because of dicks. I hope there are mimosas.
10:05 am
crosshair
i have never read dirk gently viajes? iss it as good as the resat of his stuff?
10:06 am
rubyfoo
that's as good a reason to be in the PB as any
10:06 am
MollyL
You can have a mimosa Via. I never ruin good champagne with orange juice.
10:06 am
viajes
I think Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is better, because none of the good parts I remembered from the series were in the first book. I'm going to re-read that next.
10:06 am
viajes
that's why I use cheap champagne Molly
10:08 am
crosshair
what was the title of his book they got off his hard rive after he passed viajes?
10:08 am
crosshair
drive*
10:08 am
viajes
I don't remember... I bet google knows
10:09 am
viajes
I need coffee and breakfast. I didn't mean to come in here; it's just the screen that was looking at me when I opened my computer, so I had no choice.
10:10 am
rubyfoo
enjoy yur breakfast, via,; we were the sirens beckoning.....
10:10 am
crosshair
right now i am thoroughly enjoying the 4 book series the final tales of thomas covenant by stepehn r donaldson
10:10 am
viajes
next time I will have to tie myself to a post, ruby
10:11 am
crosshair
i waited 20 years for this series lol
10:11 am
viajes
I am reading Grapes of wrath... a little different from Douglas Adams.
10:11 am
crosshair
brb,brunch is almost ready
10:11 am
viajes
coffee beckons... *poof*
10:13 am
rubyfoo

10:25 am
viajes
aww man, are you guys still here?
10:26 am
MollyL
Someone is always here.
10:26 am
viajes
I have retroactively decided that I was referring to the letters in the grid
10:27 am
viajes
since most of the chog since I left was people saying they were leaving
10:27 am
viajes
maybe the big currency will be called cocks, and the coins will be dicklets. That way we don't have to go to the PB
10:28 am
MollyL
Hey, almost anything goes in Enable.
10:29 am
rururocks
muggers would have to say " GIve me some Groin"
10:29 am
viajes
not ascete, Molly
10:29 am
viajes
that's a word, isn't it?
10:29 am
viajes
love it ruru :)
10:30 am
MollyL
Hence the word "almost". I have learned how nit-pickety people can be here. : P
10:30 am
viajes
does nit-pickety have a hyphen?
10:30 am
rururocks
that'd be the end of In God we Trust too
10:31 am
viajes
the God could be Pan
10:31 am
MollyL
And who's picture would be on the bill?
10:31 am
rururocks
DIck Cheney
10:32 am
rururocks
he's the biggest one I know
10:32 am
viajes
but no one would want their picture on the coins...
10:32 am
rururocks
Pee Wee Herman would
10:32 am
viajes
awww... poor Mr. Reubens
10:32 am
rururocks
they don't call him Pee Wee for nothing
10:33 am
viajes
maybe just a picture of a little baby
10:33 am
rururocks
I can't find anymore words ugh
10:33 am
viajes
are you getting many offers on your logo?
10:33 am
viajes
icon I mean, ruru
10:34 am
rururocks
no.. but a lot of interest though
10:34 am
viajes
I'll pay five dicklets for you to put a picture of Cheney
10:36 am
rururocks
I never knew there were that many sk words
10:38 am
viajes
well, now you've been skooled
10:38 am

Hi Molly
10:39 am
rururocks
we're discussing penis currency jilly
10:40 am
rururocks
viajes has a wad
10:40 am
Jillyjill
LOL...there's the ruru we love!
10:40 am
MollyL
Imagine the poker games. "I'll see your di4 and raise you three dicklets."
10:41 am
viajes
maybe we won't have a picture on the coin at all -- they'll just be dicklet-shaped
10:41 am
MollyL
And the vending machings PLEASE INSERT YOUR DI4 IN THE SLOT
10:42 am
viajes
lol, literally
10:43 am
Kaplan the Magne
Grow up! Viajes, get the to the penalty box.
10:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
I leave you people alone for a day and look what happens.
10:45 am
Jillyjill
Sure gave me a lot of hints for words....
10:45 am
rururocks
it would be easier to pay the IRS in pricks
10:46 am
rururocks
although I'd be afraid of any deductions
10:46 am
jdd44
wonder why nick, nicks and nickel are not acceptable words?
10:46 am
Kaplan the Magne
they are.
10:46 am
rururocks
they are jdd..how's the PB
10:46 am
viajes
there are mimosas!
10:47 am
rururocks
oh.. I'd say a word for a mimosa right now
10:47 am
rururocks
that sounds good
10:47 am
viajes
Molly doesn't approve of mimosas
10:47 am
viajes
she doesn't think champagne should be corrupted
10:47 am
rururocks
with fresh juice they're tasty
10:48 am
rururocks
anything american (bubbly) (other than Roederer) needs OJ
10:49 am
rururocks
real Champagne.. I wouldn't make a mimosa from
10:49 am
viajes
I use cheap not-champagne
10:49 am
rururocks
so I"m in Molly's camp there
10:49 am
rururocks
well cheap will give you headaches.. because hard alcohol is added
10:51 am
viajes
oh... that makes sense.
10:53 am
viajes
not to suggest that the worst hangover I ever had was from mimosas
10:54 am
viajes
most of the sk5s are just different spellings of the same word!
10:55 am

11:04 am
rururocks
<---heading to list.. I can't find any others
11:05 am
rururocks
you like the Berkeley area erda?
11:07 am
MollyL
When the economy tanks, will it be because of the deflation of the di4?
11:08 am
rururocks
think of what the grids in the stock market will look like
11:09 am
sheila48
Last sa7 please
11:09 am

On Wall Street today, the Ubangistan di4 rose three inches...I mean points.
11:10 am

Last sa7 starts like Claus and ends like frozen treat that starts with pop
11:12 am

they'd have to change the name of several national parks.... viagra falls...etc
11:13 am
Jillyjill
teehee....
11:13 am
Erda
Late answer: Yes, I do like it, ruru. Other than the earthquakes, it would be hard to improve upon...
11:14 am
rururocks
I have a friend who lives there.. the streets are so narrow.. that's kind of cool in some ways
11:15 am
rururocks
really sort of Berkeley hills for him..
11:15 am
rururocks
I need two more words to list
11:15 am
Erda
Streets are narrow?? Been to Italy lately?
11:15 am
Jillyjill
We were stationed outside SF in the 80's. We loved all the things one could do in the Bay ARea...
11:15 am
rururocks
never been to Italy
11:16 am
rururocks
it's limitless jilly
11:16 am

seriously ru?
11:16 am

11:16 am
sheila48
Molly Thx
11:17 am
rururocks
so many great things to do..
11:17 am
kje
but ru - you must go to italy - I love France, but Italy has a much better food and wine culture
11:18 am
rururocks
I loved France.. I could live there
11:18 am
rururocks
just plop me in Volnay or Cassis.. and I'll just stay forever
11:19 am
kje
me too.... but seriously, the food was much more cnsistently good in Italy... even in some cheap backwater town where you pay 5 euros for a plate and another 5 for a bottle of wine - ridiculusly good (except venice)
11:20 am
rururocks
that's probably true.. the food in france wasn't great except for one stop or two in the Rhone
11:20 am
kje
it struck me while there that there was less correlation between what you pay and quality in Italy - you could pay nothing and still have an awesome food wine experiene... France, really does matter what you spend
11:20 am
Jillyjill
one hour in, still no nbt and only 81 words...*sigh*...time for a break bbl
11:20 am
rururocks
I think that is right on the money kje
11:21 am
kje
even when we ate at the mall, the food was amazing - I decided that Italians just refuse to eat bad food
11:22 am
kje
I can see why they think americans are nuts
11:25 am
kje
just got back from SF, ru - flew in one evening, all day conf the next, then flew out the following morning - very tiring
11:25 am

11:31 am

UCSF is where my son got his degree from
11:31 am
rubyfoo
{{bichon}} at lunch today, there were 4 dogs in the restaurant: "my" malinois, a lovely, but nervous, whippet, the baby coton AND tada a beautiful, fluffy bichon!!!!
11:32 am
rubyfoo
puppy has a "hot spot" but it's being treated
11:32 am
MollyL
Really? They let dogs in the restaurant?
11:33 am
bichon
wow! lunch with a Bichon. What did it eat?
11:33 am
rubyfoo
Rufie is so good-natured that while the vet was treating him, even though it hurt, he kept wagging his tail
11:33 am
rururocks
totally cool in France Molly
11:33 am
kje
dogs in restaurants is not unusual in europe, especially france.... their dogs are much better behaved
11:33 am
MollyL
Wow, that's amazing.
11:33 am
rubyfoo
yes, they are wonderful about dogs
11:33 am
bichon
does he have to wear an e-collar?
11:33 am
rubyfoo
it was amazing to see their interaction
11:34 am
rubyfoo
it was a possibility, but I couldn't subject him to that. It is getting better
11:34 am
bichon
I can't imagine my at a restaurant. They'd be climbing on the table
11:34 am
MollyL
"Better behaved". What a nice concept for dogs. I wish I could say that about my neighbor's dogs.
11:34 am
rubyfoo
the bichon was much cuter and prettier than the coton
11:35 am
rubyfoo
we even took Ruby to that restaurant when she was grieving for Max and she was an angel
11:35 am
bichon
one of mine got loose from his lead yesterday and attacked a boxer. I was mortified
11:35 am
bichon
Bichons usually are <gg>
11:35 am
rubyfoo
what did the boxer do?
11:36 am
bichon
The boxer was terrified. But, I quickly intervened. It was being walked by a young girl and I think she was panicking
11:36 am
rubyfoo
Rufie has started standing on Ruby and he's almost as big -- at only 5 months
11:36 am

medusa

3:03 pm
sarah6girls
ca6 21 clue plz
3:03 pm
jesdraggon
cut a slit over it so you can get an instrument in to grab it.
3:04 pm
Jillyjill
Soak it for awhile Crossy....may open it up. If that doesn't work...it'll have to be incised out.
3:04 pm
Jillyjill
Ah...the vet is on!! HI Jes!
3:04 pm
crosshair
thought so,and i do not bend like that jes lol
3:04 pm
Jillyjill
And then the nurse mother reminds you to not go bare foot!!
3:05 pm
kje
cross, are you a diabetic?
3:05 pm
jesdraggon
hmm. well, i'd suggest you have mrs crossy do it...but would her eyesight allow it?
3:05 pm
crosshair
and the only numbing agent i have is vodka unless you want to come over with your bag of tricks jes
3:05 pm
crosshair
no her eyes will not allow it
3:05 pm
andrew in drag
oh my gosh, Crosshair...making me feel a little faint, haha!
3:05 pm
jesdraggon
half way
3:05 pm

no kje,i am not

3:06 pm
jesdraggon
actually, you can often get "sun burn remedy" or such that have lidocaine in them.
3:06 pm
kje
then have your son take it out - he will enjoy it
3:06 pm
crosshair
lol,come here jes,let me cut a trench in your foot with a scalpel and go digging sans numbing agent
3:06 pm
Jillyjill
That you can get
3:07 pm
Jillyjill
OK...let's try soaking it first...nice soapy water...
3:07 pm
crosshair
good idea jilly
3:07 pm
jesdraggon
hehehehe. you may underestimate my masochism, crossy :D
3:07 pm
Jillyjill
Then Jes and I will electronically remove it for you!! LOL
3:07 pm

yvw sarah6...
3:07 pm
crosshair
when you hit bone stop right jes?
3:08 pm
jesdraggon
though if you end up with a trench, you've done it a bit wrong...shouldn't need a big cut
3:08 pm
Jillyjill
He might underestimate mine as well Jes...just ask my sons!!
3:08 pm
crosshair
if the damn thing were not so awkward...
3:08 pm
jesdraggon
hah! yes, crossy, stop if you hit bone!
3:09 pm
jesdraggon
though i think by that point, perhaps you should consider enlisting the help of a local dr. office?
3:09 pm
crosshair
if i could see it better,id get hammered and go digging with a needle
3:09 pm
Jillyjill
OK...have only one and cannot monkey it...the sk6/30...last one
3:09 pm
kje
I wouldn't recommend soaking - the wood will soften and you increase teh risk of it shredding as you pull it out and leaving some in. Have someone help you and slowly lift the skin away from the area until a corner can be seen to extract it
3:09 pm
medusa
can anyone help with ni5/12 or na7/32 please?

my brother just lots a new dog jess,was a bull mastiff pup,it had eaten some stones,they operated,got 4 stones.2 days later it was throwing up all food and water,seems there were 3 other small stones missed during the first operation and now post-op swelling had them lodged in there,they gave him iv,s anti inflamatories,he did not survive
3:13 pm
andrew in drag
oh, that's so sad! poor thing
3:13 pm
Jillyjill
That's awful...so very sad to lose a pet..
3:13 pm
jesdraggon
crappy. did they not do rads first to count rocks?
3:14 pm

aw poor puppy!
3:14 pm
crosshair
it is indeed 5400 dollars in and they could not save him
3:14 pm
crosshair
i do not know how they missed the small rocks the first time
3:14 pm
Jillyjill
na+a smell
3:15 pm
jesdraggon
thankfully, i haven't done that... certainly a good reminder to palpate the whole stomach when you go after a foreign body.
3:16 pm
jesdraggon
sad the pup had to suffer to remind them of that :(
3:16 pm
crosshair
indeed,some procedure not done right there
3:16 pm
Jillyjill
and so no one pulls their hair out, lickety's list failed to take di6/33...have it listed as di5/22...lol both lists have errors
3:16 pm
crosshair
and he had pnenomia(sP) before that as a result of kennel cough
3:17 pm
Jillyjill
That would'nt help his survival chances either
3:17 pm
crosshair
seems he was a carrier long before he came down with it himself
3:17 pm
jesdraggon
hmm. that's pretty rare. usually kennel cough just runs through in a couple weeks and they get over it.
3:18 pm
crosshair
he was quite ill
3:18 pm
crosshair
then just as he was getting better,he gobbles those stones
3:18 pm
crosshair
not even 2 month home from the breeders
3:19 pm

3:21 pm

3:22 pm
crosshair
our shelter is a no-kill shelter and my son works there,so we foster kitties from time to time:)

it was sunny earlier and now we're covered by clouds and thunderstorm on the way. which sucks because colorado springs is one of the best places to see the eclipse according to weather.com :(
5:39 pm

Pouring rain here, and it will be only partial at sunset anyway, oh well. Next live stream from, I think, California in about an hour and 20 minutes at events.slooh.com

5:57 pm
cosdem
trying to find al-anon .. thats the group for familes and friends right?
5:58 pm
MollyL
Yep, you should be able to look them up in your area on the computer. Try several groups. Not every meeting is the right fit for each person.
5:59 pm
cosdem
i think im gonna try the one at the gay and lesbian center first
6:00 pm
MollyL
That is a good idea. The more you have in common with the group, the better.
6:00 pm

ok.. then ill try that. will stop by the offce tomorow to get info.
6:00 pm

its near the walk in clinic so two birds one stone

How is Ryan's Mom coping?
6:01 pm

pretty good. being super supportive.
6:02 pm

she bought us protein shake mixes and vitamins because she read last night it was supposed to help with alcoholism.

That's good. It helps if you two have each other to lean on.

Maybe it was just time for him to hit bottom. And hey, there is nowhere but up from there.
6:04 pm
Shirlockc
jumped in late on the comments, good luck cosdem
6:04 pm
cosdem
exactly what I said. im glad he bottomed out (if he did) while i was around!
6:05 pm
MollyL
It's hard to feel loved by someone who puts their drinking before every significant relationship in their life. No matter what they say.
6:06 pm
cosdem
its funny because i said to him "its obvious to me ur puttng the drink before me and thats not fair to me. im prob have to leave" and a hour later he broke down and showed me his diary full of his fears of dying young and wanting to stop drinking so bad. hes been holding it in for months
6:07 pm
cosdem
so my threat was what he needed.
6:08 pm
