5:45 am

they seem to name new developments in 'themes' here - ash street, oak street, elm street etc
5:46 am
crosshair

not ours.all our streets that run east to west are tree,birch,elm,poplar,cedar etc and all and run north-south are numbered first through tenth
5:46 am
Christine

Especially street names that once indicated the business - Bread Lane, or Pudding Lane or Milk Street. In my part of London, we have Cable Stree, where cables for shipping were made.
5:47 am
Glantarell

yes but ikt still doesn't tell you anything about the place crossy
5:47 am

no,there is no history in the steet names except for on maned after our only officer who was killed in the line of duty
5:48 am

named
5:48 am

one of my favourites is 'load of hay lane' - I can just imagine it got named because somebody lost a load of hay and then peple startied saying - oh, you know, the lane where X lost his load of hay
5:49 am

oh and we have a "old mail road" that was used by the stage coaches that ran the mail back in the day
5:49 am

Yes. In the east end of London, we have a lot of streets named for battles, those losst or won. But now there's a push to change them, so as not to offend newcomers, from the countries where we fought those wars.

Crosshair - we have one in N.England, called Ashby-de-la-Zouche - I think it must;ve been settled by the Dutch.

Ashby-de-la-Zouch is also in Leicestershire
5:51 am

we have one up the road called craigleithe
5:52 am
Christine

It's so long since I lived in England, I forget where places are -- and I guess there's been a lot of restructuring the counties since I left.
5:53 am
Glantarell

The de la Zouche family descended from Alan de la Zouche, sometimes called Alan de Porhoët and Alan la Coche (c. 1136–1190), a Breton who settled in England during the reign of Henry II. He was the son of Vicomte Geoffrey I de Porhoët and Hawisa of Brittany. He married Adeline (Alice) de Belmeis, daughter of Phillip de Belmeis and Maud la Meschine and died at North Molton in North Devon. He obtained Ashby in Leicestershire (called after him Ashby-de-la-Zouch) by his marriage.

Now, why did I think he was Dutch? I must've been dozing in class, because I remember a discussion of the town's name. And later there was a song, about Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Castle Abbey.
5:58 am
Glantarell

Melbourne is a Georgian market town in South Derbyshire, England. It is about 8 miles south of Derby and 2 miles from the River Trent.[1] In 1837 a then tiny settlement in Australia was named after William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, and thus indirectly takes its name from Melbourne Hall, seat of the Lamb family, and the village.
5:59 am

sounds like a wonderful place the one in florida:( but it kind of fitsas you kind of need a police record to be part of this family as well

The Flatfish is born with one eye on each side of its head, giving it a grotesque appearance. As it grows, one eye begins to move until both are on the same side, allowing the fish to lie on the ocean floor and scan above for food.

8:53 am

There are pros and cons to living anywhere; I just think that the fact you would consider walking up 23 flights (after going DOWN them!) in the dark says something about your fortitude and strength, Annie! I'm impressed!
8:54 am
Anniebrook

LOL, Nef...life in the big city
8:54 am
hurshy

*refrains from expressing pity for annie, because she knows that her hatred of NY, Chicago, and Vegas is clearly not universal*
8:54 am
Glantarell

I hate cities, and could never live in a building with lots of floors, or lots of other people.
8:54 am
Nef

hurshy, do you live in a large or small city?
8:55 am

small.
8:55 am

8:55 am

i thought i hated all cities, but after visiting europe, i realized i don't hate ALL cities, just ones with skyscrapers and that sort of closed-in feeling.
8:55 am
Glantarell

Did you grow up in a city Annie?
8:55 am
Anniebrook

Mollly, yes you could if you had no other choice.
8:56 am
Anniebrook

I have lived in NYC all my life
8:56 am
MollyL

The city I grew up knowing is DC and we have no skyscrapers (nothing can be taller than The Washington Monument). When I am in cities with skyscrapers, I get claustraphobic.
8:57 am
Glantarell

That's probably why you lov it - I grew up in a large village, and I don;t like places which are much bigger for long
8:57 am
Glantarell

I quite like cities in Europe for a few days - Barcelona, Prague, and others, but a few days is my limit
8:57 am
Anniebrook

I love Washington,
8:58 am
MollyL

I would also have qualms living above the 6th floor, knowing what I know about fire and rescue.
8:58 am
hurshy

but in washington i think i would feel conscious of all the corruption around me.
8:58 am
Glantarell

there is corruption everywhere Hursh

I'm more conscious of the history Hursh.

but mostly not difficult
8:59 am
Nef

I'm wondering how long it would take to walk up 23 flights? I have found through the years that my limit for standing is about 2 hours -which is what the ortho surgeon told me years ago. I think I'd be stuck about half way up!
9:00 am
MollyL

I am not a city person. I like to visit them, but I need trees and grass and nature around me.

Good morning, Babblers!

Hi Judi
9:06 am

hi Judi. Your icon reminds me of the vacation I took with my sisters in April. There was a scrabble game there with 1 board and probably close to 3 games worth of letters. (It wasn't fun to play with too many letters)
9:09 am
Judi

Hmm. Bet all those vowels were a bit problematic after a few rounds.
9:11 am
Nef

yes, that and ending up with 2z's and someone else with 3x'x
9:11 am
Nef

3 x's
9:11 am
Judi

Right. And there's never a Q when you need one.
9:12 am
Nef

LOL! very true
9:13 am
Judi

Find that proper noun: Famous Star Trek Captain.

Eek, what kind of sadist thinks it's fun to play Scrabble with three games worth of letters?
9:14 am

9:17 am
Nef

there were 6 of us there; but even adding 2 more players didn't work (we thought that adding more players might work. It didn't). and it took too long to sort out the letters for a single game

anyway, BBL. I need to do some house work for a change! :-)

interesting tidbit for today.as you all know,we have a new kitten and while our 3 year old make had no problems with the kitten,our 6 year old female has been attacking to injure and she has regressed somewhat and hides and has started shying away from us. a tip from the shelter sent us to the health food asile at the grocers and in the section where you find tea tree oil and the like there is a product for human and animal consumption called "rescue remedy" it is a all natural calming agent and is working wonders in combination with a dab of liquid lavander on her favorite toy

Crossy, we used to use Rescur Remedy to calm my daughter-in-law. It actually worked for a while when she had post partum depression. Not sure if it would help now.... haven't tried it for a while
4:36 pm
cosdem

S's done
4:36 pm
Picklesny

hi, red
4:37 pm
redturtlehead

I may need to use if for the dog...he has really been getting worse and worse with the thunder storms..
4:37 pm
redturtlehead

How is all?
4:37 pm
Nef

Rescue Remedy Geez! I can't type today!
4:38 pm
Nef

red, get a Thunder Coat for your dog. They really work (kind of like swaddling a baby helps calm them)
4:38 pm
cosdem

i saw a commercial for that nef!
4:38 pm
cosdem

one of these extended commercials on late night tv
4:38 pm

I have been thinking about it as well...just wonder if he would wear it.

I need to invest in the thundercoat. It seems expensive, BUT.. all that pacing is driving me nuts.
4:41 pm
Minveryork

Hello speedfreak!How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
4:41 pm
Nef

speed, I'm not sure about if it would work on a dog scared of thunder. It worked on my D-I-L for her anxiety attacks after she had her baby though
4:41 pm
crosshair

nef,red,the rescue remedy is working really well for the cat atm.it was to the point where she was regressing badly and now she is much calmer,not a ball of tension and is not lashing out at the kitten
4:42 pm
redturtlehead

this grid has been really nice and fun.
4:42 pm
redturtlehead

I sure wish I was close to finishing.
4:42 pm
Nef

I wonder if you could sort of swaddle the dog and see if it calms down first to see if you think it would do okay with the thunder coat?
4:42 pm
speedfreak

hi min doing good, maybe I should look into the thundercoat my poor shepherd gets so upset that I feel I cannot go out if there is going to be a storm and this time of year with fireworks she is just a mess
4:44 pm
redturtlehead

Actually a friend of mine says they used to use Ace bandages.
4:44 pm
redturtlehead

I think it would work.
4:45 pm
Minveryork

On the fourth this year dog had a triple whammy:fireworks lightening and thunder all at the same time.He was a mess
4:45 pm

My dog did the oddest thig. We had a thunder storm, and he freaked out, but then 2 hours later all the loud FW went off, and he was snooing all comfortbly. darn I forgot I have not last letter of the alphabet.
4:48 pm
Nef

he didn't have a problem with the fireworks, red? That's interesting
4:48 pm
Picklesny

swaddling was magic for my son but it wasn't always easy wrapping him up
4:49 pm
Nef

yeah, I know what you mean Pickles
4:49 pm
redturtlehead

yes, I thought it was biarre, he could have cared less about the Fireworks.
4:50 pm
redturtlehead

BUt he always get pacy and nervous about an hour before a storm hits...so he senses something, which is odd hes not a particularly bright animal.
4:53 pm
Nef

it doesn't take brains to sense things though....
4:54 pm
Nef

(or shall I say much intelligence?)
4:54 pm

my rottie does not like fireworks but could care less about thunderstorms

5:07 pm
cosdem

never mind
5:08 pm
speedfreak

even though I hold the shepherd during the storms she is still shaking and panting and uncomfortable so I don't even know if it is worth it to spend money on something
5:10 pm
Nef

if crossy says the Rescue Remedy works onhis cat; check at the health food store and see if it can be used on a dog. They have small bottles of it
5:11 pm
Nef

and maybe try wrapping it us in an old blanket to swaddle it?
5:17 pm
crosshair

the rescue remedy was ok,d by the vet for cat and dog use
5:17 pm

crossy, I didn't mean that you'd use something not safe; it's just that some things are safe for cats but not dogs (and vice versa)
5:26 pm
crosshair

i cannot believe how it is calming our 6 year old female kitty,not stoned,just calm..perhaps i should add a spritz to the wifes coffee....
5:29 pm
Nef

it should work, crossy, but it will take more than 1 or 2 spritz
5:29 pm

7:09 pm

7:49 pm

7:50 pm

hi min!
9:39 pm
jesdraggon

when told he's out of town, she >supposed< she could talk to me instead. when told that I was helping a client right now, she said "well, this won't take but a minute"
9:39 pm

hi sue :)

9:40 pm
rururocks

oh.. geez.. I see that all the time at our vets too jes
9:40 pm
jesdraggon

receptionist politely informed her that i would call her back when i was done helping the client i was with. turns out, she's calling about a critter that's been having issues for 2 days. so she waits until 5 after 5 on a friday? what?
9:40 pm
rururocks

ba..da da.. ba.. deee daaa daa
9:40 pm

9:42 pm
kje

exactly!
9:42 pm
jesdraggon

hmm. similarly, there was a woman with a bunch of lambs with diarrhea (for a week) who wants to know what she can give over the counter. She also asked my receptionist to interrupt me during an exam so she could talk to me. So sorry, but the person who is physically here, (and paying me money!) gets priority over the one who just wants me to tell her what to go buy at the feed store.
9:43 pm
jesdraggon

wait, what? 3 socks?
9:43 pm
rururocks

I bet she felt sheepish after that
9:44 pm
uusue2

ha, I have a funny story about my mom, my dad, and 3 socks
9:44 pm

9:44 pm

so she knitted a pair, and then thought, suppose one got a hole in it?
9:45 pm
MollyL

Jes, I refer to that as Pay Attention To Me Syndrome. As in people who think they, what they want, and what they say is ALWAYS the most important thing to deal with. There needs to be meds for it.
9:46 pm
uusue2

so he gets this nice package, his buddies gather around to see what his girl has sent him, and he pulls out -
9:46 pm
jesdraggon

i wish i could medicate the humans, molly!
9:46 pm
uusue2

three socks. Took a long time to live that down!
9:46 pm
jesdraggon

hehehe
9:46 pm
jesdraggon

she was just thinking ahead, sue :)
9:47 pm
kje

funny sue!!!
9:47 pm
jesdraggon

lessee. what else happened today. oh, well there's this woman who has been in a few times... always frustrating to deal with, because her husband works in a human medical lab.
9:47 pm
uusue2

well, that's what she thought. I think his buddies had a few suggestions about what to do with the third sock :-)
9:47 pm
MollyL

<---Keeps "third leg" jokes to herself
9:47 pm
jesdraggon

instead of this meaning he's knowledgable about labwork, what this actually translates to is that he's convinced somehow that my offering blood work to check kidney values on an elderly dog prior to anesthesia is just me trying to gouge them for extra cash.
9:48 pm
uusue2

but he married her anyway after he got out of the Army, and here I am!
9:48 pm
jesdraggon

these folks flatly refused to tell me where their dog had been vaccinated or when, just assured me that he was current.
9:48 pm
jesdraggon

informed me that they have "another vet at some distance from here" where they go for "certain things" and they come here for other things.
9:48 pm
kje

does he still have those socks?
9:49 pm
jesdraggon

She got exceedingly offended when I asked who the other clinic was so that we could consolidate records.
9:49 pm
MollyL

Jes, I think you should euthanize all the owners and set their animals free.
9:49 pm
jesdraggon

well, turns out that the other clinic is one that closed earlier this year, and i got all their records. Hah!
9:50 pm
jesdraggon

so anyway, today, she called and was giving my receptionist a bitch of a time about her records. She demanded that we send her the original records, all of them. She wanted absolutely no records kept here, wanted it to be as if her animals had never come here.
9:50 pm
uusue2

I don't think so, kje, although I should ask him!
9:50 pm
kje

would be fun
9:50 pm
lbdawger

i wonder if the owners "shop" around for human medical care in the same manner?
9:50 pm
uusue2

it's been almost 70 years now, I don't know that socks last that long...
9:50 pm
kje

we lost ru again... sad to know my stripping was so boring
9:50 pm
kje

granted, I do dress in layers out here
9:51 pm
uusue2

I think we lost him at the third sock, kje :-)
9:51 pm
lbdawger

ru may be trying to figure out what the third sock was for
9:51 pm
jesdraggon

now, 1 that's illegal. and 2 that's stupid - if i keep no records what do i say when she comes back and sues me? and 3 that's mighty rude of her. she didn't have any explanation as to why she wanted us to pretend we'd never se4 her, and brusquely refused the offer of tranfering records to her new clinic.
9:52 pm
rururocks

I couldn't wear a sock there
9:52 pm
lbdawger

can munchausen be transferred to animals?
9:52 pm
jesdraggon

when informed that it is required by law that we keep the originals of the records but we'd be happy to make copies, she insisted that the records are HER property and demanded that we send them.
9:53 pm
jesdraggon

so we copied her records, and printed out the relevant administrative code stating that original records are the property of the clinic and must be retained at the clinic, and sent those with the copies of her records.
9:53 pm
lbdawger

wonder where she got the idea that the records were hers?
9:53 pm
jesdraggon

i think that'd by munchausen's by proxy, dawger
9:53 pm
rururocks

I love our vets
9:54 pm
MollyL

Lots of people think medical records are theirs.
9:54 pm
jesdraggon

on the other hand, I was told today that I have excellent bedside manner and that it's absolutely great how I interact with the animals. so that's good. :)
9:54 pm
uusue2

ok, we have to get up early for yet another parade tomorrow, so I am going to bed. see you later!
9:54 pm
lbdawger

i haven't had a vet that i or the animals didn't like.
9:55 pm
jesdraggon

sleep sweet, sue
9:55 pm

9:55 pm

9:55 pm
rururocks

wouldn't that be cushion side manner?
9:55 pm
MollyL

That is all that matters, Jes. The rest of it is just superfluous BS.
9:56 pm
jesdraggon

medical records are... sort of... yours. in that clinics are required to provide copies of records at request. we are allowed to charge for making copies and shipping records out, but we don't.
9:57 pm
MollyL

Yep, I meant the originals, not copies. : D
9:57 pm
jesdraggon

well, technically for that dog it'd be floorside manner, ru... he weighs more than i do!
9:57 pm
lbdawger

i can't remember ever being charged for copies of records or certificates. I know my sister has for the certificates to travel by air, but none of my vets ever did. small town vets are different than big city vets. just like human doctors, for the most part.
9:58 pm
rururocks

some vets do charge for them
9:58 pm
rururocks

we just give ours wine and they waive the charges
9:59 pm
lbdawger

welp, i best be getting my heinie off to the pillows. see you all tomorrow.
9:59 pm
lbdawger

ru, that's bartering! :-)
9:59 pm
jesdraggon

the only person i've ever told i would charge for records was one who repeatedly requested copies of the same records. about the 4th time she requested them (some 18 months after the dog died!) i sent a letter with them saying that we would be charging for any further copies she requested...
9:59 pm
jesdraggon
