VolleymomDee

was today another good day for you rose?

1:25 am

grannyrose

dee, was pushing the knee today. increased the number of reps, and also deepened the knee bends. pushed most of my weight through the right knee....so....a little more sore this arvo.

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

wow sounds like a tough one

1:25 am

grannyrose

but achievement wise, it was great.

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

with pt always seem to have to hurt alot before it gets better

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

di 7 alt spel of di 6/21 (double a consonant in the middle)

1:27 am

grannyrose

that is so true. mind you, if anyone says no pain, no gain to me one more time.....

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

I'd smack em

1:28 am

flosey

isn't usually someone who doesn't really know?

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

probably the therapist

1:28 am

grannyrose

lol...the thought has crossed my mind....several times. you should see Don's face when someone says that when he is around.

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

When they said that to our daughhter when she to4 up her knee and later her ankle, I always thought it was said by those who had never been injured or operated on...

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

someone needs to teach them new phrases for sure

1:32 am

grannyrose

dee, most of the medical/nursing/allied health workers have ne5 experienced what they are treating patients for.

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree

1:34 am

grannyrose

i guess with all th4 i have been through, it sort of makes me a better nurse. i KNOW exactly what my patients are experiencing and thinking.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

I bet it does enhance empathy, sympathy, and knowing when and how far to push

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

of 7 x 3

1:36 am

grannyrose

then again, knowing how ha4 i push myself....perhaps i sometimes expect too much?....nah.....don't think so! but i do know what can be achieved.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

ooops meant ov 7 x 3

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

you seem to be progressing amazingly fast

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

a good friend of ours had his hip replaced yesterday.. hoping his recovery isn't hideous

1:41 am

flosey

exactly half way, time for bed and a busy day tomorrow, so may not finish

1:41 am

grannyrose

oh, yes? i remember you telling us, was it last week when you told us? has he been up yet?

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

have a fabulous day tomorrow!!

1:41 am

grannyrose

night flosey, sleep well, hun

1:42 am

flosey

tyty

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

they got him up first thing this morning to sit on bed; then this afternoon he walked from bed to door of room... watching him closely though for bladder output and more blood draining than they really want... hopefully in next 24 hours everything will calm down

1:50 am

grannyrose

usually the way, dee. first time moving can precipitate a bleed. but all will settle overnight i'm sure.

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

I sure hope so... this is same friend who had lumbar surg about 8 weeks ago, so he has had a bunch in a short time

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

his wife is so exhausted and weary... feel bad for her

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

once he actually recovers from the surgeries, I think he'll feel like a million bucks

1:52 am

grannyrose

lots of T.L.C. for his wife. and prayers for them both.

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

ty so very much :)

1:54 am

grannyrose

fw's here

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

It is amazing how much scarier surgeries are when we are older - had to have a bunch when I was in my 20's and 30's... never was very anxious or worried, but once we all hit 50, I hate when friends or family need surgery

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

fw?

1:55 am

grannyrose

lol, dee, th4s because when we are younger, we are immortal, nothing can harm us.

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

LOL tooooooo true

1:55 am

grannyrose

yes, dee...fw's!!!

1:56 am

lynxxx

Congrats Rose. Hello too.

1:56 am

lynxxx

Hi Volley, haven't seen you for ages

1:56 am

grannyrose

{{{{lyn}}}}}} and how are you this fine winter's day?

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

((((lynxxx))))) so good to see you

1:57 am

lynxxx

crabby but otherwise OK. and you? you must be getting ready to go back to work (on light duties!) soon?

1:58 am

grannyrose

no light duties here....back into the workhouse on the 3rd of september. i think i will be okay.

1:59 am

grannyrose

aww, lyn...crabby? how come?

1:59 am

lynxxx

really? can you at least get some 'light' shifts?

2:03 am

grannyrose

lyn, it's only standing and walking, i have shown i can do th4.... they might consider reduced hours....will have to wait until my immediate boss gets back from annual leave.am going back to 3 x 8 hours and 1 x 6 hours

2:03 am

grannyrose

lyn, it's only standing and walking, i have shown i can do th4.... they might consider reduced hours....will have to wait until my immediate boss gets back from annual leave.

2:03 am

lynxxx

Have just had some roof maintenance done..but the most important thing was not done. It will be taken care of - just hate having to complain and whinge to get things done properly.

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

oh wow do I hear you about that.... lawn workers, plumber... seems lately like all I have done is crab... if we are paying for work, why oh why can't they just do it properly the first time

2:04 am

grannyrose

* shakes head* workmen don't realise do they? do it properly the first time, bucko!!!

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

experiencing really blase attitudes here... they just do not care

2:05 am

grannyrose

* giggle * snap dee

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

what did they miss lyn?

2:06 am

grannyrose

why not, dee? is there some sort of 'dole' payment? or is close enough, good enough?

2:06 am

lynxxx

It may have been a bit of a language barrier (indian) however that is should not be my problem and they should be following up on his work

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely... well, granny, the lawn guy is going to get a rude awakening when I get his bill

2:08 am

lynxxx

My roof tiles are 90 years old. Still good. However in between where the tiles overlap there is 90 years worth of 'crap' mostly from the plane trees in street I am guessing. The tiles had to be lifted and cleaned, then relayed - especially in one area - which is what he didn't do

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

sometimes I think they hire those of different ethnic groups so they conveniently not speak English

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

yipes... I would be very aggravated about that... probably the toughest part of the job and he didn't want to work that hard

2:09 am

lynxxx

Not in this case I think. His english was very good..but perhaps the comprehension was not fully there. Though God knows I showed him around and waved my arms around enough and must have said it about 6 times

2:10 am

grannyrose

darn, lyn, very frustrating

2:10 am

lynxxx

anyway...phones the Boss and he will come and check and send other guys to do that bit. And the cleaned roof does look very pretty

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

glad for that, but know you will be much happier when the entire job is done properly

2:11 am

lynxxx

..and of course they don't get the money until done

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

that is always the best leverage

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

I just hate the hassel

2:12 am

lynxxx

Yes - the rain coming through the ceiling inside during rain events is just a small issue!!!

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

did anything inside get damaged?

2:12 am

grannyrose

lyn, had the roof done on my house in Tecoma last year. so glad i did given the wet winter we are having.

2:13 am

lynxxx

Tecoma?

2:13 am

grannyrose

between belgrave and upwey...

2:13 am

lynxxx

Nothing major Volley

2:14 am

lynxxx

Oh I know where it is, very pretty,- but thats not where you live is it?

2:14 am

grannyrose

no, live in Upper FTG, son lives there with his wife. the son who is doing an apprenticeship.

2:15 am

lynxxx

Very pretty up there Volley, all hilly, and green, tree ferns...where you take tourists for drives to 'show off'

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

2:16 am

2:20 am

grannyrose

lynxxx

I probably go up that direction only once a year. He is to come down here next time. But I will bear you in mind! Are you near the end of Burwood Highway?

2:21 am

grannyrose

yes, lyn, before you go up the hill towards upwey. just before the railway bridge.

2:22 am

lynxxx

Close in spirit to only one brother...the younger I haven't seen for ...probably 10 years (a long story and boring)

2:22 am

lynxxx

2:38 am

grannyrose

btw, solved the mystery of the vibration in our new bathroom. whenever the hot tap was turned on, terrible sound of pipes etc banging. after climbing into the roof space and anchoring all the pipes down, Don finally decided to change the tap washers on the newly bought taps. ( after he had cut a hole in the plaster to check out the pipes in the wall)

2:38 am

cosdem

ouch. the walls ok now?

2:39 am

cosdem

A's done.

2:39 am

grannyrose

tapestry, usually behind an altar. ar + egyptian sun god + plural letter

2:40 am

grannyrose

nope, there's a hole in the plaster behind the fridge. ( it backs onto the sh5d wall of the bathroom and kitchen. told him to leave it. it can be filled in when we reno the kitchen.

2:41 am

cosdem

at least its behind the fridge

2:41 am

grannyrose

cos, all very frustrating. these were brand new tap fittings, and the washers were faulty.

2:43 am

rubyfoo

cosdem

well i have ahuge hole in my shower still :(

2:43 am

grannyrose

2:45 am

grannyrose

2:46 am

cosdem

lol no it collapsed. reported it a month ago. they ahvent sent anyone

2:46 am

grannyrose

hehehehe

2:47 am

cosdem

we;re calliing the state attorney general tomorrow to file a slumlord complaint

2:47 am

grannyrose

now th4 is frustrating. do you not have an agent to act as a go-between? or is it the agents playing up?

2:47 am

cosdem

its a case of an awful landlord.

2:47 am

cosdem

the basement to the building is flooded, causing mold

2:48 am

grannyrose

oh, yuck. th4's disgusting!

2:48 am

cosdem

my window frames and door frame are rotten.. so nothing closes right. bugs get in

2:49 am

cosdem

we[re moving in Jan

2:49 am

cosdem

bigger apt, nicer, with a/c -- but in the bad part of town. go figure

2:49 am

grannyrose

poor cos, nothing worse than bugs mid-gasp.

2:50 am

cosdem

we had to lie to the gas company and tell them we smelled gas

2:50 am

grannyrose

january is a long time away, cos. will you make it in one piece?

2:50 am

cosdem

so they would come out and they saw our stove and said wow thats bad.

2:50 am

cosdem

and then the state forced the landlord to give us a stove that wasnt made in 1970

2:52 am

grannyrose

cos, how you going with the grid?

2:53 am

6:13 am

jmcnrick

hi jayk i am back for a minute

6:13 am

Flask1

hi everyone....hows todays grid?

6:14 am

jmcnrick

i was whizzing along for a while . . .

6:14 am

Jayk

me too; then got to 75 left. now listing

6:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all. I think the grid takes a bit of work.

6:15 am

andrew in drag

I agree with Haz - there's certainly a little more to this one than meets the eye!

6:15 am

jmcnrick

still 186 left for me. . . the workers are here with a radio and it is distacting

6:15 am

jmcnrick

hi haz

6:16 am

jmcnrick

but the station is interesting it seems to be latino jazz

6:16 am

Jayk

latino jazz???!

6:16 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc. Get your Carmen Miranda headdress on.

6:18 am

jmcnrick

this grid reminds me of a friend who want to open a combination law office and bakery and call it To4-5s and ta4/4s

6:18 am

Haz1558

If you don't have one, you could get it at the ha8/45.

6:18 am

andrew in drag

haha!

6:18 am

jmcnrick

well the announcer is in spanish but the music is more like jazz than anything else

6:19 am

andrew in drag

Gosh, Haz, I would never have guessed that was a word. Nice clue :)

6:20 am

Haz1558

Only problem is that it's actually a New Zealand lizard, but who cares. I say it's where Carmen Miranda gets her headgear.

6:20 am

andrew in drag

That is somehow disappointing. I think I prefer it your way.

6:21 am

Haz1558

I know - a lizard versus a fruit bowl hat. There's no contest, is there?

6:22 am

jmcnrick

ty haz i did not have that

6:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, jmc.

6:22 am

jmcnrick

well i was thinking about taking a nap but with that radio th** is out

6:23 am

jmcnrick

they are right under my bedroom window. . . which is i suppose an improvement from when i would wake up and they would be on the scaffolding next to my bedroom windo

6:24 am

Haz1558

Are the builders Spanish?

6:26 am

jmcnrick

yes the contractor is argentine and he only hires hispanics because he thinks blacks are lazy. . . of course, my former secretary who was black used to tell me how lazy hispanics are. . . whatever

6:26 am

JMC is dancing in a Carmen Miranda hat? I need more coffee. : )

8:19 am

Judi

No. Hadron collider is not in U.S.

8:19 am

hurshy

woot, got the 9!

8:19 am

Uneaixoise

first guess was SETI but not in grid . . .

8:19 am

Clue: Matthew Broderick.

8:25 am

Uneaixoise

judi stumped the chumps!!

8:25 am

Judi

I know. Silly and obscure.

8:26 am

Uneaixoise

neither silly nor obscure

8:26 am

Judi

Ferris Beuller was on the other day. I always get sucked in to that movie. So hilarious.

8:26 am

hurshy

i think ones i ask just tend to be overly easy.

8:26 am

Anniebrook

but fun, hurshy

8:27 am

Buttonman

I need help with the ov 8 please

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

indeed!!

8:27 am

Judi

I should give some points. The ha6/24 is made up of the same letters.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

name that proper noun, Simone Beauvoir's lo5

8:28 am

Judi

Except for the H, of course.

8:28 am

hurshy

put too much strain on, buttonman, it's compound.

8:28 am

Uneaixoise

8:28 am

Anniebrook

8:28 am

Lorre

8:37 am

Anniebrook

ding ding ding!

8:38 am

Uneaixoise

not familiar to our younger Babblers, I'm sure LOL

8:38 am

hurshy

i am a younger babbler... well i mean i'm 35

8:38 am

Judi

I remeber Mr. Lorre. The actor who most looked like a Pug.

8:38 am

hurshy

i really can't picture him, don't know what movies he was in, just know the name

8:39 am

Anniebrook

hurshy got it and she's a youngster

8:39 am

Uneaixoise

VERY distinctive face and voice, hursh

8:39 am

Anniebrook

The Maltese Falcon

8:39 am

hurshy

wait is he the "usual suspect" guy from casablanca?

8:39 am

Uneaixoise

well, i meant REALLY young -- we have some twenty-somethings :-)

8:39 am

hurshy

well i was that young when i started babbling...

8:40 am

hurshy

yes ok i know who he is then

8:40 am

8:40 am

Uneaixoise

8:41 am

hurshy

well button, i didn't know there were two, you said ov8, so i looked for one!

8:41 am

Buttonman

hi, uneai

8:41 am

hurshy

ok i found another one, that tablecloth was ov8 on that other tablecloth

8:41 am

Buttonman

there are actually three ov 8's

8:41 am

Anniebrook

ov8---to put down too much soil

8:41 am

Buttonman

thanks for trying Hurshy

8:41 am

Buttonman

that it, thanks!

8:42 am

Uneaixoise

hmmm overdirt doesn't work LOL

8:42 am

Anniebrook

LOL, my clue was the same as hurshy's but hers is better

8:44 am

hurshy

i hope the presence of tr5 in the grid is not going to mean we have them today.

8:45 am

Anniebrook

I thought the same when I saw tr5

8:46 am

ChampFit

just found another ov8 that means to do to much (not soil related)

8:47 am

ChampFit

Oh...y'all had it...sorry...didn't read back far enough

Actor Barry Fitzgerald was Oscar-nominated in 1945 for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for playing a priest in Going My Way. He won the latter but conceivably could have won two Oscars for playing one role. The rules were later changed to prevent this from happening again.

no, the last one was in January

yes,it can leave scarring

12:08 pm

rubyfoo

I think he has become susceptible, too skinny

... how are his immune levels? ... sounds like a bug is just hanging around waiting for a time when he's overly tired or mildly bothered by something else

12:09 pm

it may just be that he's old; I think pneumonia is what takes many people

12:09 pm

there are injections to boost immune levels

he could use that weight now

I try to make his favorite foods but he won't eat very much -- tends to leave half a slice of toast or half a potato.....

12:11 pm

crosshair

ensure protein drinks as part of daily food intake?

12:12 pm

crosshair

you can now get ensure clear as well

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

he wouldn't "deign" to take a supplement as he doesn't think he's old and likes being thin!

12:12 pm

would be perfect for him

12:12 pm

he's even given up martinis

we had to fight to get him to eat half a sandwich at lunch

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

he eats half a sandwich for lunch, too. hahah

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

and if we eat lunch out, he feeds most of his lunch to the restaurant dog or brings it home for Ruby

12:16 pm

crosshair

yup..figured as much..he sould exactly like fil

12:17 pm

Kateq

when my friend's elderly mother was in the same position, we added honey to her tea, switched her from low fat to full fat cottage cheese, cooked her veg in butter instead of olive oil, added cream to her soup--all without saying anything to her

sounds like what you may have to do ruby..sneak it in

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

when I make roast chicken for him, like I did tonight, I stuff it with vegetables and butter and slather it with butter before it's cooked but he doesn't eat the skin

12:18 pm

Kateq

exactly--she too was so stubborn and wouldn't agree toalter anything

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

I add butter to his vegetables, though, and he just thinks they taste good

12:19 pm

crosshair

sounds like mr ruby

12:19 pm

crosshair

i got my f.i.l with his big weakness,,cherry cheese cake

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

when I had chemo, crossy, I would come out of each session absolutely starving and would load up on food before I slept for 18 hrs!

12:20 pm

Kateq

she did the same--would say how goodher string beans or mashed potatoes were--not knowing they were loaded with butter and cream

12:20 pm

crosshair

i would cut him 1/4 of the pie lol,and a big glass of 4% milk

12:20 pm

brid

i read a study about how important good oral hygeiene is on preventing pneumonia (and similar infections) in the elderly.

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

he won't eat mashed potatoes

12:20 pm

crosshair

good advice also brid

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

yes brid

12:20 pm

crosshair

will he eat scalloped?

12:21 pm

crosshair

cause with scalloped you can add all kinds of rich stuff

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

you are all giving me good ideas for "enriching" the little he eats

12:21 pm

crosshair

yes,that will be your weapon ruby,enriching what he does eat

12:22 pm

crosshair

grilled cheese sammiches,use the thick slices and butter in the pan

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

he won't eat any cheese

12:22 pm

crosshair

all cream soups use 4% milk,no water

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

did I mention stubborn?

12:22 pm

brid

does "muscle milk" taste any better or worse than "ensure" for mixing into things?

12:22 pm

crosshair

18% cream for his coffe

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

black coffee

12:23 pm

crosshair

i do not know muscle milk,but ensure has a odd after taste

12:23 pm

Kateq

I would also put little dishes of walnts or pecans and raisins or dried fruit and chocolate bits and so forth---just small portions of little treats--on the table beside her chair--she would often nibble at these despite saying she didn't want any

12:23 pm

andrew in drag

sorry to butt in, but how is he with fried foods, Ruby? If he won't eat a lot of things, then perhaps just changing the cooking style could help?

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

won't eat fried food

12:23 pm

brid

and the organic stores (like trader joes) make juices (green veggie juice; all fruit juice) that you can slip into recipes for their content.

ruby,discuss with your doctor marinol tablets

12:29 pm

crosshair

that is the last thing to try

12:29 pm

crosshair

tell him they are a vitamin,whatever

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

what is marinol?

12:30 pm

crosshair

marinol is THC in tablet form..it will give him the munchies

12:30 pm

crosshair

and is def required in this case

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I could add some stuff like that to his soup

12:31 pm

crosshair

you doc will agree i am sure

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I wonder if they have that in France

12:31 pm

andrew in drag

wow, Crossy! wouldn't it also make him high?

12:31 pm

crosshair

ask about marinol,please?

12:31 pm

crosshair

no andrew,the tablets do not work like that

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

high would be OK

12:31 pm

Aloyisius

.. agree with crossy.. best approach from the inside out.. lift the spirits and he will have an appetite

12:32 pm

crosshair

it is at most a mild body buzz like half an oxycodone

12:32 pm

crosshair

but it soulnd like the current weight could be dangerous

12:32 pm

andrew in drag

ohh, that's alright then. I just thought he'd probably notice if he was laughing at the clouds all afternoon :)

12:33 pm

crosshair

no,not like that andrew

guernseygirl

Oops, sorry. Off to pb

1:54 pm

cybernan

our babbler is what you throw at a board with circles on it -- he is usually finished within 1/2 hour of the flip, so you probably don't see him often

Kazzer99

my son scattered the ashes which was lovely cos they both missed the funeral - mum was rushed to hospital and Richard went with here

2:23 pm

MollyL

Hi Cos

2:23 pm

Glantarell

Different families have different ways. We didn;t scatter, neither have we visited the plot - but dad was put into a wildflower sanctuary in a place that was very similar to his home

2:23 pm

Kazzer99

hi Molly

2:23 pm

Glantarell

Hi Cos

2:24 pm

Glantarell

Hi Molly

2:24 pm

MollyL

A wildflower sanctuary sounds like a wonderful place to scatter ashes.

2:24 pm

Kazzer99

ooh that sounds lovely - Dad was scattered in the same place as my niece

2:25 pm

Kazzer99

be back later off to Tesco's

2:25 pm

Glantarell

Well, it is on a wild welsh hillsadie. he lived on another wold welsh hillside with very similar views. So mum and I knid of think he would have felt himself at home there and we have left him alone

2:26 pm

cosdem

Same beginning + abbreviation for a small set of rooms your rent.

2:34 pm

MollyL

Cos : D I've been doing my own Once Upon A Time marathon on hulu all summer. I'm so ready for Season 2.

2:34 pm

cybernan

ty molly

2:35 pm

cosdem

molly i have a favor to ask u actually. its not a big favor - a simple one?

2:35 pm

MollyL

Ask away : )

2:36 pm

cosdem

can you, next time youw atch amazon prime, check to see if captions and subtitles work on any of them?

2:36 pm

cosdem

especially west wing :)

2:37 pm

MollyL

They don't, I've already tried because I use closed caption when I can't understand a line in a show. Apparently, Amazon is taking a lot of heat about this, as well they should.

2:37 pm

cybernan

260 down and time for a lunch break - bbl

2:38 pm

cosdem

ahh thanks molly... ugh. we will have to wait til NAD v Netflix closes to have a precedent.

2:38 pm

cosdem

but the good news? NAD is winning. the courts ruled web based businesses MUST comply with ADA

2:39 pm

MollyL

If I were you, I would contact Amazon and tell them that you were considering a Prime membership, but can't because there is no closed caption. They are uber good about customer service and you might get some kind of discount once they do.

2:39 pm

cosdem

hmm good idea though molly... yes. i should do that. ive never had complaints about their cust. services. always satsfied when i talk to them

2:40 pm

MollyL

It is ludicrous and discriminatory for any web streaming company to NOT have closed caption. I can't believe they are getting away with it.

2:41 pm

Glantarell

is closed caption what we call subtitles? writing on screen

2:41 pm

cosdem

kind of Glan..

2:41 pm

cosdem

CC is on TV. white on black

2:41 pm

cosdem

subtitles are just one color usually

2:41 pm

cosdem

mostly on dvds

2:42 pm

Glantarell

oh, i think we call them all subtitles here

2:42 pm

cosdem

the CC association was here before we had subtitles. started in the early 1980s. the very first show to be captioned was Dynasty which s why they have a massive deaf fan base

2:43 pm

Glantarell

i see

2:43 pm

cosdem

I grew up watching Dynasty.. at age 5 or 6. because it was the only thing captioned lol

2:43 pm

Glantarell

so are you deaf cos?

2:44 pm

cosdem

yes.

2:44 pm

Glantarell

i have a deaf friend who has recently had cochlear implants inserted nehind her ears

2:44 pm

Glantarell

she is in her 40s and is enjoying music for the first time since her childhood

2:45 pm

cosdem

ahhh. its a huge controversy here

2:45 pm

Glantarell

she also had problems for a whilm in hearing too much noise

2:45 pm

Glantarell

why the controversy?

2:45 pm

cosdem

me -- im indifferent to it. doctors sat 50/50 chance it will work for me so im not gonna bother.

2:45 pm

cosdem

because being Deaf is an identity. not a disability.

2:46 pm

cosdem

Deaf pride. Theres a huge deaf culture.. arts, books, etc

2:46 pm

cosdem

(one's side's argument)

2:46 pm

Glantarell

I guess that might depend on whether a personhas been deaf all their life or has become deaf

2:46 pm

cosdem

the other side is - CIs will help succeed in life (thats bs imo). yes exactly glan. i assume ur friend is late deaf?

2:46 pm

Glantarell

i am totally unaware of any deaf pride kovement over here - but then why would i know about it

2:47 pm

Glantarell

my friend was partially deaf as a young person then went totally deaf in her early 20s

2:47 pm

cosdem

ahh eys that would make sense glan

2:47 pm

MollyL

I love my amazon prime subscription. Great movies and lots of good shows. I was so jazzed when they recently added all seasons of The West Wing.

2:48 pm

MollyL

Oh, and you get free two day shipping too. : )

2:48 pm

cosdem

im so jealous molly. i have been wanting to watch west wing for a while now.

2:48 pm

amelu0218

f/w. any clues needed?

2:48 pm

Glantarell

my friend os just very happy to be able to hear her partner speak - she had never heard her voice until last year and thye have been together 15 years

2:48 pm

MollyL

I make margaritas with Cointreau instead of triple sec. Glan it's about 2 oz of Tequila, an ounce of lime juice and an ounce of triple sec or Cointreau for each drink.

3:10 pm

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

3:23 pm

MollyL

MollyL

That is very cool Cos. I was just telling someone that I want to start a company and only hire people over 40.

3:37 pm

cosdem

oh that is a pretty good idea Molly

3:37 pm

cosdem

and im not even 40 lol

3:38 pm

MollyL

People over 40 are having a hard time getting jobs because employers want young people who don't demand higher salaries.

3:38 pm

cosdem

right. which actually hurts the economy more

3:39 pm

Glantarell

te6/24?

3:40 pm

3:43 pm

Glantarell

um. 35 keft, all R. Need a glass of wine for this LOL

3:43 pm

MollyL

Unfortunately, employers are not interested in helping the economy. They are only interested in lowering their bottom line, so as to keep their own personal cushy salary high.

3:44 pm

MollyL

teleg**** like Steffi Gr___ the tennis player

3:46 pm

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

funny!

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

You walked into the Meeting House like you had just come in from the farm
Your plain straw hat was dipped below one eye
Showing your Quaker charm
You never looked in the mirror and an insect youâ€™d never harm
And all the Friends dreamed youâ€™d protest together, protest together

Youâ€™re so plain â€“ you probably think this song is about you
Youâ€™re so plain! I bet you think this song is about you
Donâ€™t you? Donâ€™t you?
I had a dream you put soy in your herb tea; soy in your herb tea.
Youâ€™re so plain â€“ you probably think this song is about you
Youâ€™re so plain! I bet you think this song is about you
Donâ€™t you? Donâ€™t you?

I heard you went up to Occupy and took New York by storm
Then you marched on down to Washington
And took a Senator by the arm
Well youâ€™re where you should be all the time
And when youâ€™re not youâ€™re with
Some news reporter or the Dalai Lama, the Dalai Lama

Youâ€™re so plain you â€“ you probably think this song is about thee
Youâ€™re so plain! I bet you think this song is about thee
Donâ€™t thee? Donâ€™t thee?

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

yes to both of the songs...i claimed she had a quaker writer but she didn't like the original lyrics. . .

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

We can never know (for sure) about the dollars to come
But we budget for them anywayâ€¦.ayâ€¦.ay
And we wonder if Friends will step up to the plate
And write a check or give online as they are led to participate!

Participation, participation
Is makinâ€™ us great!
Is makinâ€™ us stronger

And we tell you how easy it is to join with other Friends
And that many gifts would expand our possibilityâ€¦yâ€¦.y
Oh we, we wrote these words just late last night
As we were thinking about potential generosity

Participation, participation
Is givinâ€™ us weight!
Is keepinâ€™ us solvent

And next fiscal year, with cards and calls and sweet requests
We ask ALL Friends to give to BYM
And if more Friends would make a gift, be it large or small
Thereâ€™d be a balanced budget and thereâ€™d truly be enough for all

Thereâ€™d be enough for all

Thereâ€™d be a balanced budget and thereâ€™d truly be enough for all
Thereâ€™d be enough for all

10:03 pm
