6:15 am

phandmd

Hugs to you. What is her prognosis with the meds?

MollyL

I lit a candle for you and Ruby.

6:22 am

rubyfoo

husband is oblivious

6:22 am

rubyfoo

thank you molly!!

yes,her toxic gf will be appeased

8:21 am

crosshair

oops have the hiccups this morn it seems

8:21 am

carleekat

well... i would tend to agree there..but she is loyal... obviously something in cutie pie besides his cuteness struck a cord..likely how he treated her with respect ( southern charm and manners)

8:22 am

crosshair

lol,hope you have a good data package carlee the ole skype will just be humming

8:22 am

carleekat

free long distance... flat rate

8:23 am

carleekat

8:26 am

crosshair

8:26 am

8:27 am

crosshair

bring a friend.make it a girls weekend out

8:27 am

carleekat

8:28 am

crosshair

then one day she will say"not coming back with you mom,cutie pie and i are moving in together" lol

8:29 am

carleekat

quite possibly

8:30 am

crosshair

tell her to have her future kids in canada though.the health care is going to hell down there.seems they are now voting to kill obamacare

8:30 am

carleekat

heheheh..i forgot....

8:30 am

carleekat

everywhere we went...people were full of questions about our health care

8:31 am

carleekat

"is it true y'all can just go to the hospital and git taken care of?"

8:31 am

crosshair

guess they like paying insurance companies big bux and min wagers die in the streets

8:31 am

carleekat

"ya mean y'all dont hafta pay?"

8:31 am

crosshair

we pay..at tax time

8:32 am

carleekat

"but you mean you dont die in the waiting room waitin on gittin' served?"

8:32 am

crosshair

that way everyone,rich,poor,workng,not working,even living in the streets has access to health care in a timely manner....as it should be

8:32 am

carleekat

"cus thats wot we heard...y'all are dyin' before u git to see the dr"

8:33 am

crosshair

yes carlee,i have heard,when you go to the free clinics down there ,they have different wait times for tests than those who pay up for the big fat insurance polocies

8:33 am

carleekat

even cutie pie was full of the same questions

8:33 am

carleekat

no...they have been told WE die up here waiting cus everyone has free medical

8:34 am

crosshair

it is strange that a country that big can still have health care like that,but i am sure they will work it out..eventually

8:34 am

carleekat

oh and dr's wages SUCK...cus not paid

8:34 am

crosshair

lol you are kidding

8:34 am

carleekat

our dr's dont make much money

8:34 am

crosshair

8:35 am

crosshair

8:36 am

Judi

Good morning, kids.

8:36 am

crosshair

howdy judi

8:37 am

carleekat

yeap... and...the other thing... everyone down there is so full of conspiracy theories that they cant see straight

8:37 am

crosshair

and the old "why should i pay for his health care with my taxes" syndrome

8:38 am

Judi

Hey, we wouldn't be paranoid if everyone wasn't out to get us. :-p

8:38 am

crosshair

lol,please do not nuke us judi!!!! i am sorry!

8:38 am

crosshair

arrgh! run!

8:38 am

Judi

What was the name of that song? "Blame Canada"?

8:39 am

carleekat

no..not that..just..conspiracy theories..i guess obama has put a clause in some new legislation regarding pandemics wherein he has ( president) has ultimate and final control during a pandemic... which just feeds the new world order theories that abound b/c of denver airport

8:39 am

crosshair

i heard a secret rumour that the U.S wants to turn canada into a 6 flags amusement park

8:39 am

Judi

Just during the summer, Crossy.

8:40 am

crosshair

and that all us locals with work for 6 flags/northern states of america inc

8:40 am

Judi

'Cause y'all have brutal winters and the roller coasters would all freeze up.

8:41 am

crosshair

lol

8:41 am

carleekat

but who the heck is out to "get" the US?

8:41 am

carleekat

thats when u have tobaganning races judi

8:41 am

crosshair

yuppers

8:41 am

carleekat

( laughsat brutal....more snow in TN last winter than we did up here)

8:41 am

crosshair

and make one kick ass ice skating rink

8:41 am

Judi

Just kidding on that one, Carlee. Although, there are plenty of whole countries that seem to hate the US now.

8:43 am

carleekat

anyway... was an interesting visit from a cultural point of view down there

8:43 am

crosshair

i am sure it was

8:45 am

crosshair

when my wife and son went down there years ago to FLA to visit her parents i sent them with the best blue cross supplimental health plan i could find for travellers.2 weeks total coverage cost me 40 dollars

8:46 am

carleekat

but i really miss a few of the people...and damn...that river...there was something about that river that just... sucks u in...its such a great little place...

8:46 am

carleekat

yea i did the same with caa..25.00 each of us... 5 mil coverage for the week

8:47 am

crosshair

good,good

8:48 am

crosshair

my mother in law got caught once,was doing a fast run back to the border and could not make it,she had a bacterial infection of some sort and ended up 1 week in u.s hospital and 40,000 dollars later

8:48 am

carleekat

5 mil is definitely covering triage and airflight home

8:48 am

crosshair

used to give them hell for not getting travel insurance

8:49 am

crosshair

yes, 5 mil works

8:49 am

carleekat

its insane

8:49 am

carleekat

and why everyone fights it?... i guess conspiracy theories

8:50 am

crosshair

must be

8:50 am

Judi

It's complicated.

8:51 am

crosshair

you think the dr,s down there would want universal health care,just get your money from the govt each month instead of fighting 20 or 30 diff insurance companies for every dime each month

8:51 am

carleekat

yeap... and no defaults on payments

8:51 am

crosshair

yup

8:51 am

stevedallas

so good morning folks and how many words today and thanks

8:52 am

crosshair

134 stevo

8:52 am

carleekat

we still have health ins companies up here that up ur "service" to things like extended physio, and massage... private room instead of ward..etc

8:53 am

crosshair

yea,i do not worry overmuch though.as it is you can have 20 physio visits before needing supplimental

8:53 am

carleekat

so the ins companies dont go away...and u likely increase # of jobs cus u have the govt ( unionised) workers mediating between dr's and the govt

8:54 am

crosshair

i know,i used em with i herniated the 3 disks in my neck

8:54 am

carleekat

sousing out items etc for the hospitals...

8:55 am

carleekat

the town i stayed at crossy..the hospital was 1 story...i have never seen a 1 story hospital

8:55 am

crosshair

we are having a hospital fund drive now.we need ten million for some new equipment.the govt gave us 5 mil and we pony up the other 5

8:55 am

crosshair

its fair

8:56 am

carleekat

yea we have been in midst of one for an mri machine we have..gotta get it up and running

8:56 am

crosshair

lol carlee,we have a hospital in meaford.has 1 story and 24 beds

8:57 am

crosshair

8:57 am

crosshair

well,better than nothing

8:58 am

carleekat

yeap... is...glad i didnt need..came close with missie...we came off the mountain and she was begging for crutches

8:58 am

crosshair

we are lucky in that a local cople that passed last year gave the hospital enough money to fully exquip and max out our kidney dyalisis centre so we are good there

8:58 am

carleekat

told her u are walking..maybe in pain in your joints..but u are walking...

8:58 am

crosshair

8:59 am

carleekat

then told her..lets get u to bed...some ice packs and see...

carleekat

Then you should have a plan as to how to make that happen.

I thought the Giant was open near here and went to check. but it will not be open til 7/15. Went to look at apts today. The building was kindof run down

Oh well, at least you made a move towards finding a place.

2:20 pm

periwinkle

lots of older people living there, grey and white-haired. I am older but do not think I look my age

2:21 pm

MollyL

Have you ever thought about going somewhere on a guided tour? That puts you in a group of people. My sister visited Ireland that way and made very special friends on the trip.

2:21 pm

periwinkle

one of my friends lives in a house that has 4 apts. the one above her is now vacant. It is in an area that is not as nice as here. I am kind of snobby

2:21 pm

periwinkle

yes, a guided tour sounds good. would even condider doing that myself. how would I find out about them

2:22 pm

periwinkle

that is the kind of travel my parents did and they made friends too

2:22 pm

periwinkle

The only good thing about living here besides the nice neighborhood is the cheap rent I pay.

2:23 pm

MollyL

Maybe a travel agency? Or look around on line. The Ireland tour was kind of spiritual in nature, she loved it.

2:23 pm

all is well with me Jilly.... not quite as hot today. Just playing a little babble with my feet in a basin of cold water.... LOL

3:45 pm

MollyL

Brr!

3:46 pm

dianedecoder

Then we are going to the farmers' market and then out for a salad .... the heat does get to me a bit.

3:46 pm

MollyL

The heat gets to me too, Diane. Not so much the actual heat, but the lack of fresh air.

3:47 pm

dianedecoder

Molly... it starts out cold but soon cools the body... my ankles are very swollen.... part of the fibromyalgia and the heat in disagreement !

3:47 pm

Jillyjill

A big WooT for molly! :) Hot here today, day started with a bang...had a call that a patient we didn't have on schedule walked in at 6:45 AM...got through day, but am going to babble my stress off and take the long shower I was denied this morning.

3:47 pm

dianedecoder

We don't have air conditioning.... rely on fans, so have plenty of fresh air from outside

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

If we keep windows open at night, then keep curtains closed our house stays perfectly cool. Now if we can just avoid too much smoke and are able to open windows at night!

3:49 pm

MollyL

Problem is when it's hot, the air outside isn't fresh. Glad you have a cool off strategy, Diane. Poor Jilly, sending relaxing vibes your way.

3:50 pm

dianedecoder

It's only 26 C here today... got to 33 yesterday. We have lots of trees around, and I bless the triple windows we installed about 6 years ago... makes a big difference, as 4 front windows face west.

3:51 pm

dianedecoder

One positive here ... we don't have to deal with humidity, although our rain at 4 this morning did create a little of that. It soon burns off.

3:53 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks Molly, it was so easy to deal with unscheduled walkins before computers. Can't even get drugs out without patient in the system...feet are up and I am relaxed!

3:57 pm

Sorry to crash in, guys, but would anybody be aware of any good ways to relieve wisdom tooth pain, please?

5:18 pm

stidmama

go mark go! hey all

5:18 pm

stidmama

andrew, clove oil

5:18 pm

stidmama

paracetamol (I think that is what you call tylenol) would help with pain

5:18 pm

stidmama

is it just one tooth or many?

5:18 pm

YadNivek

ambesol

5:19 pm

YadNivek

cocaine, but that is not recommended

5:19 pm

stidmama

anbesol is good (uses clove oil for numbing) but I am not sure what it is called in the UK

5:20 pm

andrew in drag

Would you believe, Stid, cloves are the one thing on this earth I'm allergic to? I've been taking codeine but was wondering if there was anything topical that came recommended.

5:20 pm

ch1212

andrew, the key is consistency in taking ibuprofen --- it was originally a prescription med used for tooth pain, when taken on a regular schedule. Talk to your pharmacist about dosage and schedule. Set your clock to take scheduled doses even in the middle of the night if need be. Then of course, see your dentist :).

5:20 pm

andrew in drag

and you all always seem to be such fountains of knowledge!

5:20 pm

Mark Jones

I leave for one second...

5:20 pm

stidmama

there are topical pain relievers available over the counter here -- but most of them include clove as at least a flavoring. *thinking*

5:21 pm

andrew in drag

ibuprofen? I'll see if it can be safely mixed with the antibiotics/codeine. Thank you! :) I saw my dentist today, but unfortunately I'll be waiting a while for surgery to remove it. Wahhh!

5:21 pm

Mark Jones

haha sorry andrew

5:22 pm

YadNivek

don't get hooked on the codeine... why no hyrocodone or oxycodone?? so much stronger

5:22 pm

stidmama

not good -- you might try a warm compress, andrew -- sometimes heat is helpful. Outside the mouth, against the cheek.

5:22 pm

andrew in drag

Haha, no apologies Mark! Laughter is the best medicine :)

5:22 pm

ch1212

Years ago when my dentist prescribed it for me, I took 400 mgs every 6 hours. The non-prescription in the u.s. comes in 200 mgs. It's rough on tummies though, so be sure to eat something with it.

5:23 pm

harpjane

What a travesty I have experienced. Not only did McDonald's forget to give me a straw with my latte, but they failed to put a toy in my Happy Meal! Oh, the pain....

5:23 pm

harpjane

What a travesty I have experienced. Not only did McDonald's forget to give me a straw with my latte, but they failed to put a toy in my Happy Meal! Oh, the pain....

5:23 pm

Mark Jones

Oh come on

5:23 pm

YadNivek

they have 600 mg ibuprophen now, that it was i got post-surgery

5:23 pm

stidmama

*resolves to boycott McD's for forgetting toy in happy meal*

5:23 pm

ch1212

LOL, harp! I thought I was the only adult who ordered the happy meals specifically for the toys!

5:24 pm

andrew in drag

Oh, unfortunately I don't think we can get those over the counter here, Yad!

5:24 pm

andrew in drag

Aren't the Happy Meal toys something to do with Pokemon at the moment? I would storm back and demand one!

5:24 pm

stidmama

the issue with ibuprofen and other NSAIDS can be that it thins the blood. If surgery is within a couple weeks, taking that medication may be contra-indicated.

5:25 pm

andrew in drag

Oh, unfortunately not, Stid. I'm waiting on the NHS! In this area of the city, I'll most likely be waiting six weeks or so...

5:25 pm

ch1212

Good point, stid. I was told to stop my aspirin 3 days prior to surgery, so Andrew will definitely want to check with his pharmacist.

5:25 pm

stidmama

that stinks, andrew

5:26 pm

andrew in drag

Too right, Stid! I'll probably have gone mad and removed it myself by that point :P oh, well. Nothing to do but smile!

5:26 pm

stidmama

you can generally safely combine one NSAID type with paracetamol, but again check with a pharmacist or doctor to be sure what you have is safe to combine. I combine tylenol and aleve for migraines, for example.

5:26 pm

ch1212

So, stid ... did you see our mayor on tv? He's the one who was arrested at Sea-Tac.

5:27 pm

stidmama

andrew, seems I recall some mouthwashes have mild painkillers. Others I can think of include thyme oil and sometimes things like garlic.

5:27 pm

andrew in drag

Hmmm. Good advice, thank you. I think I'll try your suggestion about the heat, too.

5:27 pm

Jillyjill

And remember that NSAIDs also thin the blood so may need to stop before surgery as well.

5:28 pm

andrew in drag

Thank you everybody for good and friendly advice :)

5:28 pm

stidmama

I did, ch -- so sad. I bet if he were a man who looked germanic or scandinavian they would have questioned him and let him go with a warning...

5:28 pm

stidmama

hey jilly

5:28 pm

ch1212

hugs and sympathy and good thoughts your way, andrew.

5:29 pm

andrew in drag

Aww, thank you ch1212 :) I'm sure it'll pass! I'm just feeling sorry for myself, most likely.

5:30 pm

ch1212

No, any of us who have had wisdom teeth hurt understand completely. You go right ahead and baby yourself :)

5:30 pm

MollyL

Sorry you're having tooth pain Andrew. Definitely check with your doctor first before adding and/or mixing any medications.

5:31 pm

stidmama

andrew, other things that will help you cope with the pain (maybe) -- avoid really acid or sweet stuff (can make the bacteria more active) and avoid caffeine (more jumpy/nervous makes pain worse for me). TRY to sleep, or at least cut yourself some slack on activities. PAIN is exhausting (I am a minor expert from the experience).

5:31 pm

andrew in drag

Thank you Molly, and sound advice indeed :)

5:31 pm

harpjane

ch1212! How you doing? Haven't seen you for ages! hug hug hug

5:31 pm

stidmama

distract yourself -- video games are a good thing because they require a lot of full attention. I like puzzle-based games that engage lots of the parts of the brain.

5:32 pm

andrew in drag

Oh, yes indeed Stid! My throat is rather swollen, so I'm really on a diet of the most flavourless mush I can find at the moment ;)

5:32 pm

stidmama

ch -- would you like to try to get together at some point this summer?

5:32 pm

ch1212

Deep breathing, slow and rhythmic, guided imagery and meditation, warm baths, ...

5:33 pm

ch1212

Ohh, stid! What an idea! I hadn't thought of that. Are we planning a babble get-together this year in the local area?

5:34 pm

andrew in drag

Thanks everyone :) I will see if I can get some sleep. I'm very appreciative for all the warm and helpful advice! Stay well, everybody :)

5:34 pm

stidmama

wasn't planning an official get-together because Bugs is having one up at Nanaimo (did you hear about that one?), but hego is flying in to SeaTac, and uusue is driving out for it.

5:34 pm

ch1212

(Of course, there is no reason you and I couldn't get together for a mini babbler get-together, too!)

5:34 pm

stidmama

And we could do a low-key coffee or dinner at a restaurant up your way and let others know we are going to be there.

5:34 pm

ch1212

(Note to self: catch up first on chog before posting...) Sounds fun! Let me know the date and I'll try my best to be there :)

5:35 pm

YadNivek

What area are you all talking about? I'm east coast - MD

5:35 pm

stidmama

My elder son should probably visit Bellingham (he is thinking of transferring there once he earns his Associate's) this summer and get a feel for the lay of the land.

5:35 pm

ch1212

In terms of restaurant, it's only 25 miles for me to Seattle, so not a big deal.

5:35 pm

stidmama

Nanaimo is a town on Vancouver Island off the coast of British Columbia

5:35 pm

YadNivek

ouch...

5:36 pm

ch1212

Bellingham is a marvelous town, but quite a ways for anyone coming from Sea-Tac.

5:36 pm

stidmama

but there are LOTS of babblers out your way, YadNivek (I think I figured out your name, btw)

5:36 pm

YadNivek

what is it stid?

5:36 pm

ch1212

Beloved and I took a day cruise around the San Juans last summer. So beautiful.

5:36 pm

stidmama

yes, that is why I was thinking about a low-key get together separate from the big thing in Canada

5:37 pm

stidmama

it's backwards... my great-uncle's writer's name was backwards, too -- Bob Neek

5:38 pm

stidmama

or was it Trobert Neek?

5:38 pm

Jillyjill

Pouring down BIG drops of rain and it smells wonderful here!

5:38 pm

YadNivek

nice, but mine is not Day Kevin... I thought of it years ago and luckily have been able to register nearly everywhere with it alone (no numbers)

5:38 pm

YadNivek

Trebor?

5:38 pm

stidmama

I haven't cruised the San Juans (yet) probably should do that before I turn 50...

5:39 pm

stidmama

trebor = robert backwards

5:40 pm

Evening all.

5:40 pm

Aww thanks Stid. Jilly, what is it that you do?

5:47 pm

stidmama

Just saw that 7-11 is giving away free Slurpees today until 7 pm to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the store.

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

I'm an Endoscopy RN, have the responsibilty of running the department...without any title or pay BTW

5:47 pm

stidmama

just in case anyone here likes slurpees (I don't anymore).

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

Oh yes. I am the Infection prevention RN...we see eye to eye here.

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

No 7-11's here stid, but slurpees aren't on my fav list either

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

LOL I do not do slupees, unless its really HOT, but its almost 7 here!

5:49 pm

harpjane

wow. how often do you see Endoscopy and Slurpee in the same web site?

5:49 pm

ch1212

(sorry, stepped away for a moment -- just got an email forwarded --- it's from a reader on CNN who wrote the "Top 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong". Satirical, brilliantly written.)

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

Ah Red! We are currently going through a remodeling and operating out of one room. 6 endoscopists...all were warned a month ago, those that attended the meeting decided to limit cases to only urgent cases...a memo was sent out, now one doc states "I wasn't informed". Grrrr

5:50 pm

Anyone have any experience with prozac vs. luvox for OCD?

5:50 pm

In case any babblers are acquainted with OCD.

5:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I might have to ask people on the Fountain Pen Network if you guys don't know.

5:51 pm

ch1212

Kap, in addition to behavioral modification, I was prescribed paxil for OCD years ago. Then prozac. The latter seemed to work much better for me.

Lol jilly!

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

I just got a very expensive proposal approved by senior leadership...only to have 2 anesthetists say "I never heard anything about it!" I just forwarded them the email that I sent them weeks ago...

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OC&D are pretty round letters.

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry Kap...no knowledge on that topic though

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think they are in the right order- O is roundest, C if half-round and D has half-round and line.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If anyone is watching The Newsroom on HBO- it's really important stuff!

5:53 pm

Jillyjill

I also need an idea for supper -- I have tofu, basil, kale from the garden... I am thinking a greens and tofu quick stir-fry over rice. Easy, fast and tasty. And won't heat the kitchen too much. What do you-all think?

I like tofu, it's from a local company and tastes nice -- not like the slimy stuff in the white plastic boxes at grocery stores

6:16 pm

stidmama

But then, I have eaten tofu all my life -- perhaps your palates are not adapted to soy.

6:16 pm

rururocks

it's like eating banana slugs

6:16 pm

stidmama

no, actually not. And I have the banana slugs to prove it.

6:19 pm

stidmama

oh well -- I guess I'll just have to wander off and think about how to make things work later. Naptime for me before Tom gets home.

8:23 pm

rururocks

8:23 pm

stidmama

8:25 pm

MollyL

Just as long as you refrain from eating on the stairs FOREVER

8:25 pm

rururocks

8:25 pm

Pinikula

8:25 pm

8:33 pm

MollyL

A yoga teacher who teaches yoga classes to Facebook employees, gave a dirty look to a student who was (yes) texting while yoga class was going on. We are truly going to hell as a society.

8:34 pm

MollyL

Oh, the teacher was fired for that.

8:34 pm

Shirlockc

i heard it was google not FB

ing-at-facebook-worker Facebook

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

though it sounds like it was not quite so simple as just that she glared. she was warned prior to the class that she could not enforce a cellphone ban.

David Milani, a representative of Plus One Health Management, declined to comment specifically on Van Ness' case. But he said company instructors who teach at some companies including Facebook are required to allow fitness members to pick up their phones during class.

8:38 pm

jesdraggon

which is not to say that the whole thing isn't sillier than crap.

8:40 pm

Shirlockc

i think if it's during work time, and work is paying for the yoga, then as an employee, yeah, you need to be responsive

8:40 pm

Shirlockc

don't think she should be fired tho

8:40 pm

Shirlockc

don't think she should be fired tho

8:40 pm

Shirlockc

responsive to the texting i meant

8:40 pm

Shirlockc

responsive to the texting i meant

8:41 pm

Pinikula

if it was just a disapproving glare, perhaps a warning would have been appropriate...unless this is an ongoing issue with the instructor...

8:41 pm

Pinikula

...but, on that note...I need to get back to working on wed'g plannin' stuff...see y'all next time!

8:41 pm

Pinikula

take care *POOF*

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

bye, pini

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

it would have to be some serious glaring for me to be as offended as the student sounded...

8:43 pm

MollyL

Well, all I can say is that if you are texting during yoga class, you have missed the whole point of yoga.

8:43 pm

Shirlockc

i agree with the molly

8:47 pm

MollyL

And I'm really tired of the precocious babies who get their thongs in a wad because they are told they can't be on their cell phones constantly.

8:48 pm

Shirlockc

i hate it when they do it at the movies

8:50 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

8:51 pm

uusue2

I read a cute thing on a site for teachers - pointing out that we can tell when our students are texting - after all, no one just looks at their crotch and smiles!

8:52 pm

uusue2

oh yes, I've seen that one! Very cute!

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

aww. i was hoping you hadn't yet.

8:55 pm

uusue2

so I got my nice new glasses last week; they are great for reading and for distance but I can't see the computer screen for sh**. So I am getting trifocals. Sigh.

8:59 pm

ah, we are back to texting during yoga. I was confused.

9:05 pm

9:06 pm

MollyL

Meiowza!

9:06 pm

9:10 pm

uusue2

hi BR and stid!

9:10 pm

stidmama

hey BR

9:14 pm

stidmama

hm. I seem to be stuck. And it is suddenly really hot in the house (can't be the red chili pepper flakes in the supper...), I think it's time to go put more soil on the potatoes in the garden.

9:14 pm

stidmama

*sigh* I don't think I am going to finish this one.

9:14 pm

uusue2

bye, stid!

9:14 pm

MollyL

Jes, are you warping again? : D

9:16 pm

uusue2

9:17 pm

jesdraggon

yay sue!

9:17 pm

stidmama

YAY sue!

9:17 pm

uusue2

And I finally understand the references to platyhelminths.

9:17 pm

jesdraggon

I am jumping back and forth between this and other things. is that warping?

9:18 pm

o-o

Weft, yesterday. Is "warp" the horizontal you were thinking of?

9:19 pm

jesdraggon

yes!

9:22 pm

rururocks

I like being horizontal

9:23 pm

jesdraggon

do you also like the mambo?

9:24 pm

MollyL

Horizontal warping platyhelminths.

9:25 pm

jesdraggon

why would you weave worms, molly?

9:26 pm

MollyL

I didn't say weftwise platyhelminths.

9:26 pm

uusue2

I suppose if they're long enough and flat enough you could in fact weave them...

9:28 pm

MollyL

Sue, this is not string theory. We are talking about tapeworms. : P

9:31 pm

jesdraggon

what if they're the same, molly? what if the universe's structure is determined by the vibration of parasites?

9:35 pm

torgone

Ew

9:36 pm

MollyL

Well, that would be trematodes oscillation which is an entirely different topic.

9:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ooh, vibration chat! (hi all)

9:39 pm

jesdraggon

hi gwen :)

9:39 pm

uusue2

Yes, I knew that, Molly :-)

9:39 pm

uusue2

and hi gwen and torgone!

9:42 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

9:42 pm

MollyL

<--Quits, as she sees that sense of humor no longer exists in the chat log.

9:43 pm

o-o

There are studies that suggest the brain influences the mind about choices before the person is aware of what he/she will do. Perhaps the vibrating parasites have a role?

9:43 pm

jesdraggon

well, some parasites can significantly change host behavior, bab...

9:43 pm

jesdraggon

clues for the me6's?

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:44 pm

BTW, where is our mind located?

9:57 pm

uusue2

I added os5/14 to the physics babblets list (don't get new words for it very often any more)

9:59 pm

o-o

Where are the physics babblets located, Sue?

10:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

TY babble, again, been tearing hairs on that one

10:02 pm

uusue2

they are in my profile, BR

10:03 pm

o-o

Thanks

10:05 pm

o-o

I see you have parsec but not secpar

10:06 pm

uusue2

secpar?

10:07 pm

o-o

noun: a unit of astronomical length based on the distance from Earth at which stellar parallax is 1 second of arc; equivalent to 3.262 light years

10:07 pm

uusue2

hmmm - as far as I can see they mean the same thing. Never heard secpar used, though, and I've taught a lot of astronomy courses out of a lot of different texts

10:08 pm

harpjane

parsecs come up a lot in trivia contests

10:08 pm

o-o

secpar is in the grid on occasion

10:08 pm

uusue2

maybe secpar was an early version of the term, and parsec is the one that won out

10:08 pm

uusue2

haven't seen it but I'll add it - thanks!

10:09 pm

o-o

I thought is curious how par sec is transposed to sec par

10:14 pm

uusue2

hmmm, all the links I can find (doing a google search) are to dictionaries, some of which immediately redirect to parsec - I don't think it is actually used by anyone

10:15 pm

torgone

parsec: one twelfth of the time it takes to make the Kessel run ..

10:17 pm

stidmama

hey all, potatoes taken care of, down to 9. ME 6 after cat sounds please?

10:18 pm

o-o

par (allax ) +sec (ond )

10:18 pm

o-o

Princeton's WordNet
1.
parsec, secpar(noun)

a unit of astronomical length based on the distance from Earth at which stellar parallax is 1 second of arc; equivalent to 3.262 light years

10:19 pm

uusue2

me + this hill is very ****p

10:19 pm

uusue2

Yes, I've found it in dictionaries, BR, but not in actual use - as far as I know parsec is the term that all astronomers use

10:20 pm

stidmama

thanks sue

10:21 pm

stidmama

fw

10:22 pm

uusue2

yay stid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:22 pm

uusue2

and here you thought you wouldn't finish!

10:23 pm

o-o

Familiarity information: SECPAR used as a noun is very rare.

10:24 pm

uusue2

yes, I found that, BR :-)

10:24 pm

stidmama

yep. feels good. I am tired, though. I think I will go rest up before bedtime. LOL I have a couple small tasks to finish and then I'll try to catch up.

10:24 pm

uusue2

I think if you were to use it in a sentence while talking to an astronomer you would get a blank look (and then perhaps be corrected to parsec)

10:24 pm

uusue2

night, stid!

10:25 pm

stidmama

thanks for the help, and the vocabulary lesson, sue and BR! *poof*

10:26 pm
