VolleymomDee
aww forgot about the litre/ gal diff
1:15 am

hey, ruru, anyone who puts flippers on your feet and then tells you to walk around the pool must be a sadist, or nuts. the answer is up for grabs.

2:14 am
Jivingjenny0
I need 3 vowels for nbt and nbs, the U and A in the top row and the E in the 4th row.
2:15 am
Dachef
un4: un + french for 'of the'; ar5: popular babblet. Dont have that e yet.

2:17 am
Dachef
but I do now! Ta!
2:23 am
Jivingjenny0
thanks to both of you, nbs and nbt and now must poof to do a deep clean on my daughters room while she is on holiday.
2:27 am
rbud
yw, I'd say have fun, but I've been there and done that, hope it's not too icky. :)
2:32 am
Jivingjenny0
I love her dearly but...she is the untidiest person I have ever met and as her flat is attached to our property it does encroach on my nice tidy place, so I wait until she is away and tidy up. One room will take me all day!!
2:38 am
rbud
I hear you - our son would easily compete in the untidiness, I'm sure. :P
2:40 am
Jivingjenny0
The problem is she is not a child she is 45 so I don't think she is ever going to change
2:42 am
rbud
well, I hope she at least appreciates your efforts. :)
2:56 am

good morning
2:56 am
rbud
hi, ruby! how's life?
2:59 am
rubyfoo
hanging on - husband poorly, ruby holding her own, puppy boy a joy!
3:02 am
rbud
well, two out of three, I guess, good to hear. sorry about your husband. mine's none too well, himself. seems to be giving up on walking and is mostly riding around in his motorized chair.
3:03 am
rubyfoo
mine is discouraged since he flew off the treadmill and his taking his depression out on me (who else?)
3:04 am
rbud
mine is like that, always crabbing at me, who deserves it the least. guess that's how it goes. who else will put up with their BS, I suppose.
3:05 am
rubyfoo
true, rbud, nothing much we can do
3:06 am
rubyfoo
I just make his meals, try to control his meds, invited his daughter to visit, (pay for her ticket), and just show up! lol
3:10 am
rbud
we had a scene tonight, he and our son were arguing out in the yard - bet the neighbors have about had it with us. I swear hubby and son have been fighting since the boy could talk, sigh. both so stubborn.
3:11 am
rubyfoo
I hope you just went inside and put on some music, preferably with earphones. The heck with the neighbors, it's your sanity which must be guarded!
3:12 am
rbud
yep - after son left, he started on me, but I refused to put up with it, and left him to wheel on downtown in his chair and whine to someone else besides me.
3:13 am
rbud
his favorite bartender, or his buddy that just moved to town - don't care, I get fed up and ruin his "fun" by ignoring him.
3:13 am
rubyfoo
good idea! I just drift out of the room if possible, when DH starts
3:13 am
rbud
takes the wind outta their sails, lol!
3:14 am
rubyfoo
Sprite says "Talk to my hand, my head is tired"
3:17 am
rbud
I just don't get how someone can rant on and on about the same thing, more or less, for years. It never accomplishes anything except to tick himself off more. you'd think he'd learn.
3:18 am
rubyfoo
since DH is pretty much deaf, when I say something to him, if he doesn't acknowledge, I don't know if he's heardme. So I repeat it a couple of times; then he gets annoyed
3:21 am
rbud
oh, of course, all your fault, you pest. (just kidding) I get that, too, but I think mine just tunes me out until I insist he pays attention.
3:21 am
rubyfoo
<-- def a pest lol
3:23 am

it did, we were shattered after New York & Niagara but then had fantastic family time before and after Nashville. Honestly every day we had an experience that was a 'once in a lifetime'. The driving was fine which was a blessing as we did well over 2000 miles
10:01 am
Scrabbler
"shattered" meaning thrilled, in awe? We use "shattered" to mean distraught, devastated.
10:02 am
hurshy
or perhaps you just mean exhausted?
10:02 am
KatieMcG
Shattered meaning worn out and exhausted but after a wonderful time
10:03 am

totally random question, because sometimes things seem really obvious to me but aren't to other people... if you had a sick puppy and someone told you that you should keep it hydrated by giving fluid injections through the belly wall and directly into the abdomen, how would take that suggestion. Related question; what risks would you think that entailed?

12:32 pm

big risk of infection.
12:32 pm
Uneaixoise
i thought you hydrated a puppy with IV -- like a human
12:32 pm
jesdraggon
yes, unea, honest question. I have strong opinions on this, but am aware that this might have been a "didn't know better" rather than "bloody idiot" situation...
12:32 pm
hego
yes Une most people would.
12:32 pm
Wolvie
omg Jes-- i would not do it at home for reasons hego stated.

you can give pedialyte to animals, yes, crossy. but if they vomit it back up...

well,then i would ask a vet rather than mess any further myself
12:35 pm
hego
good idea Crossy
12:35 pm

so i would think this would entail an iv to the blood stream no? similar to humans getting saline and such in hospital?
12:35 pm

so this is someone who wanted to treat the puppy at home?
12:36 pm

heh. well, not wanting to pay me was a pretty significant factor in this situation, crossy

whole litter of pups with parvo. owners brought 1 in, but declined to hospitalize the rest. wanted to treat at home. I gave them fluids and anti-vomiting meds for subcutaneous use, and clearly and repeatedly told them that any pups getting worse should be hospitalized
12:38 pm
Uneaixoise
oh nooooo . . . how sad
12:39 pm
jesdraggon
they called "a friend in oregon who is a vet and has lots of experience with parvo" (the won't tell me who this is, so i have no way to verify what this person actually recommended), then called my associate who specifically recommended against this and told them that any pups getting worse should be hosptialized.
12:39 pm

some folks should not be owners of animals, but we all know that. bummer

after 2 pups died at home, they brought 2 more in for hospitaliztion, did NOT TELL US that they had given fluids intra-abdominally. The next day (yesterday) they brought the other 2 in.

oh man- that is bad. i am glad i keep my animals vaccinated. wow
12:43 pm
crosshair
hey hego
12:43 pm
hego
lol. do you have the url for expert?
12:43 pm
jesdraggon
but given the dramatically abnormal mortality coincident with the owner "treating" the pups at home, I'm thinking she doomed them. I typically get about 85% (or better) survival on hospitalized parvo cases. I have NEVER had 4 of them die in the same night before.
12:44 pm

that must have been horrible. I would feel so defeated

we have a less than one year old new shelter built all on donation cash.the down donated the land,the local electric donates the hydro,the dump gives them free tipping fees and we have two local vets who offer care,spaying and neutering and microchipping..is good for everyone

2:01 pm
uusue2
awesome, Molly! I'm jazzed about it too although I am afraid to watch (get too nervous even though I know it's not live). Should get a lot of amazing data from it.
2:02 pm

2:18 pm
sprite
:D I love them to pieces, but I don't mind the occasional break!
2:19 pm
uusue2
exactly, and they're old enough that you're not likely to get tearful calls to pick them up because they're scared/lonely/hungry/whatever.
2:19 pm
sprite
oh no. Just maybe a call to be picked up in the middle of the night, but that is good. I want them to call me, rather than have them going home alone.
2:21 pm

5:27 pm
KatieMcG
I don't blame you. I had a bit of a row with a work colleague who was arguing it wasn't 'proper' sport. After I had ranted at him about how much more their achievement was due to overcoming adversity and prejudice he agreed that it was a really really stupid coment
5:28 pm
KatieMcG
I still have my fleece for Canada from the 2006 winter olympics - didn't wear it today lol
5:28 pm

We could use some more sunshine, stidmama, but otherwise I mustn't grumble.
5:39 pm

loving it. Obsessed with the tv and radio coverage. Went to the football at Coventry this evening but trying to get tickets to the para olympics with no success at the moment. How about you?
5:40 pm

I know about the sunshine... we have some today and expect some tomorrow so people are pretty happy about that. Maybe some of the berries will sweeten up now. Will send some your way.
5:41 pm
Haz1558
I've been watching quite a lot - really enjoyed the tennis this afternoon.
5:42 pm
Haz1558
Oh, and the cycling and the rowing. I tend to shout at the TV a lot, I'm not sure if it helps.
5:42 pm
KatieMcG
I don't think we are ever going to get sunshine again. My garden 'shot' during the sunny march and then what survived that hasn't ripened due to the rubbish weather
5:42 pm
Haz1558
We can be glad that we don't face any prospect of sunstroke any time soon.

Shouting at the telly clearly helps Haz, the kitties may be having a nervous breakdown but it is helping me :)

Standing up helps as well, it's extra encouraging.
5:44 pm

Crossy we are more worried about sinking in a bog rather than brown and crunching grass. when we came back from the USA we had a weed in our garden which was over 6ft high and it rained every day we were away

Red, if you have any thought of doing that, let me know and I can recommend someone. Just get a good agent who can walk you through. The process is daunting, no matter who you are. Thank you, Congress!

But the POSSUM!!!! Dead. Tongue hanging out of mouth. Wet. Bloody. Dog standing over it. YUCK! Of course I was the only one home...HELLO!!!!

ChampFit
You think? I didn't see a scratch on either dog. Should I take 'em in?
9:06 pm
redturtlehead
My bigger problem is that the agents are so desperate to sell...they really dont help. For example, I had a short sale condo for 86K, the bank came back and wanted 110K, which I didnt want to pay, and the agent got really angry...
9:07 pm
redturtlehead
Champ, the dog is vaccinated, right???
9:08 pm
redturtlehead
Oooh so sorry to get you alarmed.
9:08 pm
ChampFit
Yes, but still....
9:08 pm
Minveryork
So the real estate business is booming in Texas? Does that mean the housing market is booming? *thinks how she can get her husband to move to Texas and out of her life*
9:09 pm
ChampFit
Well, the sort sale thing takes time...they don't know where they'll settle until you get several offers in. Let's PM this...
9:09 pm
redturtlehead
Call the vet in the am, if your dog is vaccinated, there should not be an issue.
9:09 pm
redturtlehead
some other time too!
9:10 pm
ChampFit
Minveryork...honestly...Texas never has big swings up or down...we're level. Currently, we're in a Sellers market as we have less inventory than buyers. But if I told you what it cost to live here, you'd move too. Cheap!!!
9:10 pm
redturtlehead
Champ are you getting the weather where you are in TX?
9:11 pm
ChampFit
We finally caught up from the drought, so we're good. Dry at the moment, hurricane allegedly threatening. I believe when it hits.
9:11 pm
redturtlehead
the hurricane has caused a tropical wave for us, cooler, I actually have the windows open!
9:11 pm
ChampFit
PUNK!!! Not cooler here.
9:12 pm
redturtlehead

9:22 pm
ChampFit
Hi JMC!!!
9:22 pm
redturtlehead
jmc!!! Hello!
9:23 pm
jmcnrick
i have used my ac 4 times this year. . . i record number of times since i moved to DC
9:24 pm
jmcnrick
don't forget to pl the be5
9:24 pm
redturtlehead
jmc you are amaing, I have need lately for AC. though not today.
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
well i am not in FL . . . i would use it more there
9:25 pm
redturtlehead
it gets pretty muggy in DC area.
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
haha it is less humid than houston. . . and most of FL
9:27 pm
redturtlehead
you think? I always remember it as very steamy in the summer....it sused to have a prob with malaria...back in the day.
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
well it is all relative. . . it is humid in DC if you lived any place except the more humid houston and much of fl. . . but the advantage of much of fl is the crosswinds because it is a peninsula
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
my skin dried out some when i moved up here
9:30 pm
redturtlehead
You know, i have not been outside of Florida in wuite a while in summer, I think I probably have no real way to compare.
9:30 pm
jmcnrick
haha i know that is not true because you run!
9:30 pm
ChampFit
Sorry...obviously was gone for a while. My son was in Florida for 3 years, but he swore when he came back to Houston that it was more humid.
9:31 pm
ChampFit
JMC...you do acclimate to the climate. It isn't easier, but it keeps you from death. how's that for uplifting?
9:31 pm
jmcnrick
that houston was more humid? probably depending on where you are in fl
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
i have acclimated. . . i survive the winter up here now :-)
9:32 pm
redturtlehead
N florida is really Georgia with a Fl title.
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
i didn't have any closed to** shoes when i moved up here
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
yes there are crackers in n fl and s ga
9:33 pm
ChampFit
I have them, just don't wear them until maybe October.
9:33 pm
ChampFit
And part of that is the "I'm gonna be 50 in a few months so I ain't wearing hose" thing.
9:34 pm
redturtlehead
I have a lot of closed toe shoes...and hose, love our dress code.
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
hose? hahaha i only wear that to court and only if i am not wearing sandals
9:34 pm
ChampFit
You have to be younger than me...I wouldn't wear hose unless someone had a gun on me!
9:34 pm
ChampFit
A BIG gun!!!!
9:35 pm
jmcnrick
i had to go out to buy some to tie to the end of my washing machine hose because i didn't have any
9:35 pm
ChampFit
You crack me up!
9:35 pm
jmcnrick
who me? i turned 61 on tuesday this week
9:35 pm
redturtlehead
the big gun is my paycheck. but I admit, the hose I get feel like llight compression tights, so I tell myself that it is.
9:36 pm
ChampFit
You probably look stunning in them. I just hate 'em. I can remember wearing them in the 80
9:36 pm
ChampFit
's, and literally stripping them off in traffic. VaVOOM!!!
9:36 pm
redturtlehead
no I am not a stunning human...but if I want to not wear pants, I need hose.
9:36 pm
redturtlehead
I hate pants.
9:37 pm
jmcnrick
i wore them in the 60 and 70 but rarely in the 80s
9:37 pm
jmcnrick
in the 80s i just wore the ones with spangles when i went out
9:39 pm
redturtlehead

true nrkii but cute joke
10:43 pm
nrkii
yes, but how cute would it be if we substitute another name there? Like, my favorite politician is Nancy Pelosi.... etc. All depends on your point of view, but that's why I'm cautious about those. Even though they make me chuckle.
10:44 pm
nrkii
and seriously Min, no offense taken here at all :)
10:44 pm
nrkii
okay, I have one US word, and one UN word

Then the bear says,"what do you mean you do not serve bears?" The bartender says, "sorry, boss's rules. We don't serve bears". The bear gets irate and says,"if you do not give me a drink I am going go eat that girl sitting at the end of the bar over there' The bartender says," do what you want,but we don't serve bears".So the bear gets up, walks to the end of the bar eats the girl. The bear goes back to his seat and says,NOW will you give me a drink?
11:12 pm

The bartender says: Not only do we not serve bears, but we do not serve bears that are on drugs!"The bear says, "WHAT!". The bartender says, "that was a bar bitch you ate"

yes, and with a really bad migraine -- the kind that makes seeing hard, not the kind that makes you want to puke or hide your head. Of all the migraines this ocular type is the easiest for me, but still it's hard to function.
