1:32 am

grannyrose

heyurshy

1:33 am

grannyrose

nice to see the sun, huh? rain is good....but we also need the sunshine.

1:34 am

ursh

hey rose - rain was much needed after a fairly dry winter - so yes spring has certainly sprung

1:36 am

ursh

I am waiting for the local troop of vervet monkeys to produce their new babies - they are so cute - like little aliens - but then they grow up and become just as much of a nuisance as their parents (hmm sounds like our kids)

1:36 am

gapeach

Hi y'all. I'm getting a little cross-eyed here looking for co7-40....please

1:37 am

1:45 am

gapeach

Yes, thanks much, rose. Hope you are well today.

1:46 am

grannyrose

thanx, peach, hun. doing better. and you...how are things with you?

1:47 am

gapeach

I'm OK tonight. Went to a concert last night....had heaps of fun.

1:48 am

gapeach

That does seem to help when I am around a lot of people.

1:48 am

grannyrose

oh, which concert?

1:52 am

gapeach

It was a "Bluegrass" concert. Don't know if you are familar with bluegrass or not.....comes from the Appleachean (sp) mountains.....that type of music is said to have been brought here from Ireland and Scotland. If you want to hear some of the songs...you can go to utube and type in Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. He is on with Barry Gibb (the last of the BeeGees).

1:55 am

gapeach

Rose, the only thing I miss in Conn. is not being able to go to the casinos.....they bring in creat bands.....Simon and Garfunkel, The Eagles, Johnny Mathis and many more.

1:57 am

gapeach

brb

1:58 am

grannyrose

peach, i really like bluegrass, in fact i like the good in all music. i have quite an eclectic music collection. my parents loved swing, early 30's and 40's, i loved 50's, 60's, and early 70's....my kids liked late 70's. 80's and 90's.

2:00 am

grannyrose

then because i was taught piano through to grade5, and learnt ballet until i was 16, the classics come into the picture as well.

2:06 am

gapeach

That sounds great, Rose. My oldest daughter took dance lessons starting at 2 1/2 years old. She was constantly tripping over her feet and someone suggested that dancing lessons would be helpful....and they were. She took lessons for 9 years. She was pretty good....I had wondered if she would want to teach someday. But then she discovered BOYS.

2:08 am

grannyrose

rofl....i know.....i discovered nursing, much to my mother's chagrin.

2:09 am

grannyrose

my mum so wanted me to enter the Australian Ballet School. but nursing beckoned. i don't think she has ever really forgiven me for that decision.

2:09 am

gapeach

Funny how things always come around, isn't it?

2:10 am

gapeach

But what you wanted was wonderful....just think how much you have contributed to so many.

2:11 am

grannyrose

thanx for that , peach. and your daughter, where is she at, now?

2:11 am

bleugirl2

Ac 7?

6:21 am

carleekat

hi ruby

6:21 am

sprite

hi ruby, how did it go? Did you let him apologise?

6:21 am

carleekat

so...suggestions for a cold weather meal that not a roast

6:22 am

sprite

soup. A nice thick soup, good bread, and good cheese

6:22 am

rubyfoo

I just got into the car and didn't speak \til we got to the restaurant on the lake and then I acted like nothing had happened

6:22 am

rubyfoo

what's the point?

6:23 am

sprite

two points. 1. your feeling of self-worth. 2. training.

6:23 am

carleekat

yea..i was thinking a beef stew with dumplings

6:23 am

sprite

sounds good to me, carlee

6:23 am

rubyfoo

he's too old to be trained and my self-worth is OK, just don't feel like "beating a dead horse"

6:23 am

carleekat

always your self worth ruby...first and foremost

6:24 am

rubyfoo

and arguments always end the same way, with swear words and no changes

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I know I'm right, so what's the difference

6:24 am

carleekat

ok..driving son to a buddy;s... back in a few ( still in my jammies even....just throwin on the sunglasses...some lipstick and a jacket..no one will know)

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I think he only gets really nasty when he knows he's wrong

6:25 am

sprite

if you feel ok with it, ruby, it is fine :)

6:25 am

sprite

and I don't mean 'training' literally. I respect both you and Burt. But yes, even he can learn he won't get what he wants by being nasty to you.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

it started because I said he didn't know what he was talking about (and he didn't) but instead of listening to me, he just got angry

6:26 am

rubyfoo

old dog, ndw tricks.....

6:27 am

rubyfoo

new*

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I only get upset when his change of mood takes me by surprise

6:28 am

sprite

sometimes something we say can come across much harder than we intended and the other person closes up and just becomes defensive.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

part of that is because in order for him to hear me, I have to use a hard voice

6:28 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:0

6:29 am

rubyfoo

6:29 am

carleekat

6:29 am

crosshair

((ruby)) ((sprite)) howdy carlee

6:29 am

crosshair

feast

6:29 am

sprite

yes, that is true. And even though he does not really show it, he is incredibly sensitive. So if you feel a bit of irritation and you use a hard voice because you have to, he will probably feel insulted. Even though that never was your intention.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

just don't get caught speeding, carlee, so you don't have to get out of the car

6:30 am

carleekat

oh no... i will be turning on the heated seats....crap its cold

We, Une, there were two of you.

9:05 am

my aunts were shocked, shocked!, that I could get married and not promise to honor and obey

9:06 am

flosey

obey was not in our wedding vows - 51 years ago

9:06 am

rubyfoo

nor in mine, either time lol

9:06 am

mael

but you probably didn't get married in Italy, where they are still in most wedding vows today :)

9:08 am

crosshair

we used cherished vs obey

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

nice, crossy

9:08 am

o-o

wedding vows are like oaths of office ... they get broken everyday

9:08 am

flosey

wow, someone should speak up there!

9:09 am

flosey

that sounds familiar crossy, but I really can't remember exactly how it was worded - just definitely not obey

9:09 am

I actually don't remember the exact words of our vows either... and we got married three months ago

9:10 am

flosey

hi rosalie

9:10 am

Boobear

The candidates promise things and they work for a bit and them down the drain they go

9:11 am

crosshair

and do you promise(insert name here) to love,honor and cherish each other as long as you both shall live,till death do you part

9:11 am

crosshair

oh and forsaking all others

9:11 am

should have ended the wedding lol..

9:19 am

flosey

just read your bio, ivesy, love and prayers with you all

9:20 am

ivesy3

ty flosey... my son has an apt. with his psychitrist on oct 1 for evalutaion to see what they are going to do.. .he needs to get to the root of his problems .

9:21 am

uusue2

will be thinking of you and him, ivesy - I know it's been a long, difficult time

9:21 am

flosey

that is good news ivesy, trust they will get him the help he needs

9:22 am

mael

good luck to him and your family, ivesy

9:23 am

ivesy3

he wont address his prob. which is that his father wont have anything to do with him becuz he is an addict. jason wouldn do what he wanted and they havent spoken in quite some time.

9:23 am

ivesy3

ty all for your prayers and thoughts

9:25 am

flosey

hope your hubby will be made to realize this is a sickness, not something one starts out with the intention of doing

9:27 am

rubyfoo

will be thinking of you and your son, ivesy

9:27 am

rubyfoo

and if the first dr doesn't help, there's nothing wrong with shopping around a little

9:27 am

MollyL

(((Ivesy))) you and Jason are often in my thoughts.

9:27 am

ivesy3

i had believed that he would help, . he was a drug enforcement agent with the sheriffs dept. thought he would know how to help. but he just lectured. and that is something a drug addict doesnt listen to.i have learned things like this the hard way. but i have learned. and if they dont place him somewhere i think i will ask if they can put me somewhere lol!

9:28 am

rubyfoo

hola molly!

9:28 am

ivesy3

yes ruby, lots of drs. thru the veterans. and ty molly

9:28 am

MollyL

And you're right Ivesy, he has to get to the root of the problem. The addiction is a byproduct of that problem.

9:29 am

rubyfoo

sometimes behavior modification therapists, though not the most exalted in the profession, can help a lot

9:30 am

ivesy3

thats what i am hoping for. this place we hope he goes to is more of a mental health facility. they live there , counseling . etc. what he needs. and i need the peace

9:30 am

rubyfoo

and might help you cope, ivesy. Years ago I went to one to help ME deal with the problems of my then-companion

9:30 am

MollyL

You definitely need the peace.

9:30 am

uusue2

sounds like a plan, ivesy, I hope it works out!

The answer is I have no idea

20 years of taking caring of him. learning the ropes day to day. going from thinking things would make him happy. i know better now. i am no longer in denial.

Hi Boo. What are you up to today?

10:51 am

Boobear

Not much..babbling

Is it a nice day? Can you be outdoors later?

I'm here Scrabbler... good morning.

hi scrabs! I am multitasking.

10:52 am

Hi Christa and Sue. I decided to read the paper, shower, then get on the computer. Sunny day here with high to be 72.

10:53 am

uusue2

sunny here too, high close to 80!

10:53 am

20 more hrs of being on call. I started Thursday at 5pm.

10:56 am

Aloyisius

home they are quiet for you, Scrabbs

10:57 am

Nice weather and a football game (Bills vs Chiefs) help. Parents spend less time obsessing about their kids' health if the weather is nice.

10:58 am

Stats for the B word please?

10:59 am

Scrabbler

OK, TY. I tried bhoti and bhori

10:59 am

Boobear

It's a strange word scrabbs

10:59 am

MollyL

Scrabs, I don't envy you having to deal with all the overly obsessive parents. That must take a lot of patience.

11:00 am

Scrabbler

MUCH patience! Therefore I must restrain my frustration and NOT say, "And why are you calling me NOW about this problem?"

11:02 am

Scrabbler

When the office is closed our priority is deciding if a child needs to go to the ER. Discussing ongoing constipation or spitting up formula or behavior problems should wait til the ofc is open.

11:04 am

MollyL

I can't believe people would call a doctor about such things. As if they are emergencies. Good Lord, does anyone have any common sense anymore?

11:05 am

Scrabbler

No, common sense is uncommon. Someone called about head lice at 9 pm a few nights ago.

No kidding. Sooner or later she will notice that words are not showing up in her word list.

11:09 am

Scrabbler

Angel, you will have to type all of these words over.

11:09 am

Aloyisius

yup, from the PB too

11:10 am

They don't appear as words if you post them here, do they???

11:10 am

I am waiting for her to type a 7 or 8

11:10 am

Scrabbler

Nope, xe

So, so funny!!!

11:11 am

Aloyisius

well, we can not co7 her bc we have all done it at one time or another

11:15 am

xeiluj

One of mine likes to sleep on my actual computer!

no, I would have felt that - she's right up against the wall

11:15 am

uusue2

better not start chewing on the wires...

11:16 am

Aloyisius

ooch.. a word I use and in the grid but not acceptable.. kind of in between ooh and ouch.. ooch if she bites a wire!

11:16 am

Scrabbler

gotta go, nephew is here with gf and baby

11:17 am

Aloyisius

bye Scrabbs, hagd!

11:17 am

uusue2

not a lot of power cords down there, but a lot of signal cables (to the monitor, the external drive, the phone, etc

11:17 am

uusue2

bye, scrabs!

11:22 am

Aloyisius

wow.. turned out to be a fun grid tho I was slow catching on.. done.. any clues needed before I go?

11:23 am

how about a clue to NOT have started 47 words ago?

11:23 am

11:24 am

11:24 am

uusue2

yay aloy!

11:24 am

uusue2

and hi stid!

11:24 am

Aloyisius

life is literally "cool" here in the north! And I love your dahlia! how are you doing, stid? subbing?

11:25 am

stidmama

thanks Aloyisius! yes, subbing again this year, hoping to someday have a classroom of my own, but much more comfortable as a sub this time around.

11:26 am

Aloyisius

subbing is tuff.. did it for seven years.. much better with your own classroom but subbing has its advantages too

11:26 am

stidmama

usually I am in for a teacher with a cold, but this last time I was in for a teacher with a serious issue, which made things harder because the kids knew it. They were good kids, though, and we made it through

11:27 am

uusue2

that can be tough, especially if the kids are fond of the teacher

11:27 am

stidmama

I like that generally my evenings and weekends are free! LOL although I stayed two hours later at the school on Friday because my planning period had been taken up with problem solving for a student

11:27 am

stidmama

well, it was also the end of the first full week of school... so they didn't have solid routines yet and they were just plain exhausted

11:27 am

Aloyisius

yes, I had some assignments for long term and one that was so sad.. a young mother who died on the way home from work (asthma) and I completed the school year for her

11:28 am

uusue2

my mom started out subbing before she went back to teaching kindergarten full time - had some tough assignments, some outside her area of expertise (K-4), including high school - she didn't like that much

stidmama

oh, that is sad. Those poor kids, I am glad you were there, though.

11:29 am

stidmama

Yes, I have subbed from preschool through 5th-year high school and it's always a big shift for me when I walk into a new classroom.

11:29 am

stidmama

I don't mind most of it, but the littlest kids are the hardest for me physically.

11:29 am

Aloyisius

sue, that is funny.. one of my best friends taught 1st- 3rd graders.. couldn't imagine HS.. and I couldn't imagine elementary..

11:31 am

stidmama

I like the kids in the middle, 4th is about the youngest I actually can "enjoy" and 8-9th is the oldest I am qualified to teach.

11:31 am

FW Thanks for all the help. Were y'all on when I told about the Bluegrass concert I went to Fri. evening? Ricky Scaggs told us that Barry Gibb (The Beegees) contacted him and wanted Ricky to know about this really old song .....to fast forward...Utube..type in Ricky Scaggs and Barry Gibb....He performed at the Grand Ole Opry house in Nashville on July 27th....awsome.

Really!

5:19 pm

gapeach

I think Robin's death dealt a heavy blow to Barry. Barry is the oldest of the four brothers.....his 93 year old mother thinks that she did something wrong. Makes you want to cry. Barry and Ricky did the one Barry brought over and then he sang one or two more. Now, if he (Barry) had been here....OMG just makes me wish I were 50 years younger.

No Mother should have to lose three of her sons.

Listening to the Black Keys, have always like their music when on TV or movies, then NPR did a thing on them, had to buy a couple of albums...

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, not to mention weinie!!

5:37 pm

Jillyjill

tech and techno are not allowed...but te6/27 is??? It's a slang version of crazy...

5:40 pm

MollyL

Well done Jilly

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

Once I got into the groove was one of the easiest grids for me in awhile....

5:41 pm

MollyL

Groovy

72 Temple Owl

YAy for the black keys! (hi all)

5:46 pm

Jillyjill

Well, gotta figure out and cook something for dinner...hubby droppin hints...

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

Hey there TO...yep, my newest favorite group!

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

patrick produced the free at noon group form saskatoon called the sheepdogs, they are great see npr

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

I'll have to check it out...now before hubby faints in front of me.... *poof*

5:55 pm

Nef

Good Evening Everybody. How are you all today?

5:59 pm

MollyL

Hi Nef. I'm fine. Laughing at the fainting from hunger drama at Jilly's.

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

nice icon molly

6:01 pm

Nef

It is cute. :-) My DH was hungry and I suggested BLT's but he's doing something else involving bacon, broiling thick tomato slices and who knows what else right now (the frig is fullof left overs; but I guess that's not good enough....)

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

i ahev drunk more colaories than i have eaten this weekend. that's saying something, too :(

6:03 pm

Nef

Your icon is a bit scary, TO. Spider eyes???

6:04 pm

MollyL

That's good Nef. Men who are hungry should go in the kitchen and cook. : )

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol nef. not as scary as dating lol

6:06 pm

Nef

I totally agree, Molly. Yesterday I drove us (DH, grandson, and myself) over to a small town in Wisc. that was having a BBQ contest and festival. None of us could eat their "small basket" of ribs;so I ate my leftovers a while ago.

6:07 pm

Nef

LOL, TO! I can't even imagine dating in this day and age!

6:08 pm

Nef

(I've been married too long to even remember what dating involved)

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

all i know is it is a femaile insect, i deleted the title when i saved it. i used to save interesting photos for icons when i was into it

6:13 pm

MollyL

According to Google it's a female jumping spider.

6:15 pm

Nef

It's an interesting picture in that every eye is a different color; kind of an irridesent refraction? (but I don't know how to spell that)

6:15 pm

MollyL

As for dating, I would rather gouge my eyes out than go through that nonsense again.

6:15 pm

MollyL

The eyes remind me of scarab jewelry.

6:15 pm

Nef

Wow, Molly. That's pretty drastic!

6:18 pm

Nef

May I have the stats for that B please?

6:19 pm

Nef

or a clue (not fussy anymore)

6:19 pm

MollyL

bh5/16...b + owl noise

6:19 pm

Nef

thanks, Molly. :-)

6:20 pm

Nef

I kept trying by...

6:21 pm

MollyL

I think it's a word that only the brainiac deluxe types would know.

6:22 pm

Nef

or someone studying Indian mythology (from the definition)

6:23 pm

Nef

How are you doing these days, Molly?

6:24 pm

MollyL

Not bad Nef, thanks for asking.

6:25 pm

LuvWordGames

does the gi 8/50 build off the gi 7/36?

6:25 pm

LuvWordGames

lol got it, nm

6:25 pm

LuvWordGames

mistyped it first time

6:25 pm

Nef

thanks for the stats, Luv! :-)

6:26 pm

LuvWordGames

yw Nef

6:26 pm

LuvWordGames

any clues needed, I just finished?

6:26 pm

Nef

YAY, Luv! WTG!!!

6:27 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks Nef!

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly: how can you google an image?

6:30 pm

MollyL

i did an image search on insects with four eyes.

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah...

6:32 pm

Nef

I used to know how to find the source of an image; but sadly; I can't do that any more.

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i saw youd that for BR's icon today and i wondered what the trick was

6:36 pm

MollyL

No, Sue did that for that image and I'm not sure how she did it. She must have typed some sort of description in.

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, i was just an interested observer at the time. i like being an interested observer better than chat these days

6:39 pm

Nef

why is that, TO? I liked chatting with you in the past.

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

just suits me better, nef.

6:41 pm

Nef

there was a way (in the past) where you could rt. click an image and then ??? google it??? or something and you'd find the source. But maybe that was so long ago it no longer works?

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must try that

6:51 pm

Nef

well, it doesn't work for me anymore; I should ask my son about it again when I remember.

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

first pass at list from 33 to 11

7:15 pm

Nef

nice job, TO!

7:15 pm

Nef

I'm half way and keep having new words pop out at me

7:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks nef. i have to go finish my chore, i took apart my pantry and have to pureg it mercilessly. procrastinating

7:19 pm

Nef

Good Luck! Want to do mine too? (not that I have a real pantry; just cupboards....)

7:19 pm

uusue2

hi all!

7:20 pm

Nef

Hi sue! How are you?

7:20 pm

uusue2

if you have the url for an image, you can paste it into Google's image search and it will find it (if it can)

7:20 pm

uusue2

I am ok, nef, Frank is not so good

7:21 pm

Nef

I took my computer in to the Genius bar at the apple store and it works again! I'm so excited! :-)

7:21 pm

Nef

What's the matter with your Frank?

7:21 pm

uusue2

so when I search on TO's image I find that it is a jumping spider

7:22 pm

uusue2

Frank's ulcers are acting up, he is pretty miserable

7:22 pm

uusue2

I'm taking him to the doctor tomorrow (assuming I can get an appointment)

7:23 pm

uusue2

and yay for your computer!

7:24 pm

Nef

sending healing thoughts and prayers to Frank. I wish I could think of something to help.... ask for a culture for Heliobacter?

7:24 pm

uusue2

yes, they will probably do that

7:24 pm

uusue2

he doesn't have health insurance so has been trying to treat them himself

7:27 pm

Nef

I know; you told me that. I'd kind of hope his doc could just skip the extra $ and give him the antibiotics; but I'm not sure if they'd do that or not (for ulcers)

7:28 pm

uusue2

yeah, that would be nice - and he's got some respiratory thing going on now too - but they will probably want to do tests anyway

7:28 pm

Nef

I'm guessing that because they haven't responded to his self treatment; they are caused by heliobacter

7:30 pm

Nef

Dang! I hope the respiratory thing isn't caused by the ulcers!

7:30 pm

uusue2

yes, that's my guess as well - he has finally gotten miserable enough to agree to go to the doctor, which means he's pretty miserable (of course he decided this on Saturday!)

7:30 pm

uusue2

Is that even possible? (ulcers causing respiratory problems)

7:32 pm

Nef

it's possible; but more common on critically ill patients or if a person is bedridden. THe gastric juices can get into the lungs, causing resp. problems (including pneumonia)

7:33 pm

uusue2

hmmm, I hope not, but he's been reasonably active until the last two or three days

7:34 pm

Nef

If he's up and around more than he's in bed that's good. Does he elevate the head of his bed?

7:35 pm

uusue2

yes, we have one of those Craftmatic beds

7:35 pm

Nef

Excellent!

7:36 pm

Nef

working in ICU for so many years; the research showed that keeping the head of the bed elevated helped prevent acid reflux into the lungs on critically ill patients.

7:37 pm

o-o

Mayo Clinic: http://tinyurl.com/9yybvgx

7:37 pm

uusue2

ah, good to know.

7:37 pm

Nef

Frank isn't critically ill; but to have his ulcer cause so much problems I'd worry about esphoagela irritation too

7:38 pm

Nef

Hi BR

7:38 pm

uusue2

yes, I don't think ignoring it this long (or self-treating, at least) was the best idea

7:38 pm

uusue2

thanks, BR!

7:38 pm

Nef

and thanks, BR for the link

7:39 pm

o-o

Of concern? H. pylori bacteria can be passed from person to person through direct contact with saliva, vomit or fecal matter. H. pylori can also be spread through contaminated food or water. The infection is usually acquired during childhood.

7:39 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, just read through chog..uusue...get him to the doc! There are a lot of things that could be going on...

7:40 pm

uusue2

will do, jilly! there is a clinic in town that treats people without insurance, and I am going to call them first thing in the morning

7:40 pm

Nef

BR, many people may have H pylori, but not everyone is symptomatic.

7:40 pm

stidmama

hey all, taking a short break from work.

7:40 pm

uusue2

hi, stid!

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

Man, I hate this country and it's screwed up medical care system....

7:41 pm

Nef

Thanks, Jilly. I told sue to get him in when she and I met after her road trip

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

Hey stiddy!

7:41 pm

Nef

hi stid!

7:41 pm

uusue2

and he's had ulcers before, jilly, and he says this feels the same

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

I finished my work and the grid. Been a busy weekend but all of it sitting on my butt...

7:42 pm

uusue2

yeah, nef, I've been arguing with him since then (I did get him another medicine - he was taking cimetidine and I got him some omeprazole as well, seemed to help)

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

Maybe he should not eat/drink after midnight in case they need to scope him

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

You can take up to 40 mg omeprazole twice daily

7:43 pm

uusue2

hmmm, I'll mention it to him - he's not eating much anyway as it hurts too much

7:43 pm

Nef

good idea, Jilly; but he doesn't have an appt. yet either

7:44 pm

Jillyjill

Well, that way it won't slow down his diagnosis waiting to test.

7:44 pm

stidmama

That's a good idea jilly -- sue I am sorry Frank doesn't have insurance. I know what it's like to have medical issues and feel you can't go in.

7:44 pm

uusue2

they say "same day appointments are available" but I don't know if that means every day

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

uusue, does he take any NSAIDs like aspirin, motrin, advil, etc?

7:45 pm

uusue2

there's a walk-in clinic here too but they're more expensive

7:45 pm

uusue2

no, jilly, he doesn't take any of that

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

Whew!

7:45 pm

Nef

true. And if he isn't eating much right now anyway.... And you (Jilly) are the one who knows more about scoping people than I do...

7:45 pm

crosshair

you guys should not have to endure health care like that:((((

7:46 pm

uusue2

with the celiac he's really careful and doesn't take much of anything unless he really needs to (allergy meds if the cat has slept on his face :-)

7:46 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, see it M-F...

7:46 pm

uusue2

you are right, crossy!

7:46 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, and with bowel disorders it might be something completely different

7:47 pm

stidmama

he's not running a temp is he sue?

7:47 pm

o-o

Crones

7:47 pm

crosshair

we get sick we go to walk in or hospital,we need tests,they are ordered,we need specialists,the appt is made,regardless of income

7:47 pm

uusue2

I filled out an immigration questionnaire, crossy (not an official one, something from some Canadian lawyer)

7:47 pm

uusue2

I don't think so, stid, maybe a little from time to time but not consistently

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

I know, but crossy, someone from canada attended a Conference I was at last weekend and was really dissing the Canadian system...I guess you can't please everyone

7:48 pm

crosshair

we all pay at tax time and it is there for you forever

7:48 pm

Nef

crossy, you should see the ads here in MN about the "lousy" health care in Canada from the Republicans, claiming that "Obama care" is heading us down the path of socialized medicine...

7:48 pm

crosshair

i am here and alive only because of our provincial health care

7:49 pm

uusue2

I know quite a few Canadians (including, but not limited to, the ones here on Babble) and I have never heard one that I know personally say they would rather have our system than theirs

7:49 pm

crosshair

my 3 rounds of cancer all inclusive would of been aprox 200 thousand dollars in the states

7:50 pm

o-o

Well, can't have adequate health care since our leaders??? prefer sending young men and women to die and get injured in foreign lands

7:50 pm

crosshair

my immune system shots alone were 300 dollars each,daily

7:50 pm

stidmama

yep. I have decided that if I am ever diagnosed with cancer I will work as long as I can and then just enjoy what time I have with my family. I refuse to bankrupt my family to prolong my life.

7:50 pm

crosshair

yes,1 trillion would of got you a nice health care system

7:50 pm

uusue2

I'll bet they would have been a lot more than that, crossy, one of my neck surgeries was about $60k and I've had three of them (all covered by insurance, fortunately)

7:50 pm

Nef

There was a bus accident of MN senior citizens several years ago up in Manitoba. Not one of those patients had to pay over $100 out of pocket; Canadian health system covered everything

7:50 pm

crosshair

yup

7:51 pm

stidmama

I have health insurance, but with the limits and co-pays we couldn't afford it. I am really good with math, btw, so it's not like I don't understand the way it works.

7:51 pm

Jillyjill

I don't know what it is going to take to get our system fixed. I am continually amazed with the fear mongering "health care will be rationed" exactly WHAT do you think we have now? It's us working people under-insured or not insured...we choose not to take treatments because they are too costly!!

7:51 pm

uusue2

I switched from a PPO to an HMO three or four years ago, just before my last neck surgery - saved me thousands

7:51 pm

crosshair

we all pay at tax time ..period.that way it is there when we need it.now,it is far from perfect,but it is available to all,anytime

7:52 pm

uusue2

co-pay was $175, tests were all covered, doctor co-pay was $15

7:52 pm

Nef

We met our yearly deductible for copays by June 1 this year. Now we are covered til Dec. 31st; so I'm finally going to have the hand surgery I've put off for 3 years (arthritis of the hand below the thumb)

7:53 pm

stidmama

What annoys me is that if people have reliable health insurance they take care of things (usually) before they are very costly. It costs ALL of us in increased premiums because we end up paying more to cover the "free" ER care.

7:53 pm

crosshair

when i was first diagnosed with my seminoma,my doctor picked up the phone and called his cancer buddy in the city,he cleared his morning 2 days later to see me and before the week was out i was on the operating table.i waited for nothing

7:53 pm

uusue2

exactly, stid!!!!

7:54 pm

stidmama

Glad you are getting that done, Nef!

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Our insurance...we didn't even meet our deductible last year even after DH was treated at Mayo...over $40,000...but it was outpatient...

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Amen stiddy!

7:54 pm

crosshair

i feel so bad for you all down there;(((

7:54 pm

Nef

I'm so P.O.ed by people who tell me "I'm healthy; I don't need health insurance!"

7:55 pm

stidmama

We have an HMO and one of those things where we pay money as pre-tax. Because we have already spent all the pre-pay money this year we are putting off some dental things and other medical stuff until January.

7:55 pm

stidmama

wow Jilly.

7:55 pm

Nef

One slight mistake driving and they end up with thousands and thousands in medical bills

7:55 pm

Jillyjill

The only good thing is that most of the bill was covered by the insurance...

7:56 pm

crosshair

the nearest i can figure with obamacare is he is trying to bring you half way to state/universal health care.his set up is much like our ontario hospital insurance plan of 3 decades ago.it was govt provieded and geared to income,then the next step was universal health care

7:57 pm

Jillyjill

Of course, we are not pursueing testing DH for early alzheimers because the test is $7000...cash up front with no guarentee the insurance will pay any of it...

7:58 pm

wht

Good evening Babblers. How is Babbleonia tonight?

7:58 pm

o-o

Problems: politicians who prize power more than their constituents. They like the campaign contributions and are in bed with the insurance industry and big pharma. Big Pharma has too much influence in setting health care policies. Both big pharma and the insurance companies are accountable to there shareholders and not all Americans. Corruption is of no concern because our leaders need the campaign funds and the insurance industry and big pharma can pay billion dollar settlements as a cost of doing business.

7:58 pm

uusue2

yeah, I never got tested for the breast cancer gene for the same reason (insurance company told me they'd pay for it if I got breast cancer!!!)

7:58 pm

crosshair

the first time universal health care was proposed to the voters we killed yourselves running to their offices to vote yes lol

7:58 pm

Nef

BTW, my DH was a Federal Employee; and his health insurance is one of the same options available to any Federal Employees (including members of Congress, etc.) We chose something with payments and a deductible that we could afford;

7:58 pm

uusue2

hi wht, I have started a health insurance discussion :-)

7:58 pm

Jillyjill

Not to mention that I am in the group Romney/Ryan want to switch to voucher system "those nearing retirement" that are 'safe' are ONE DAMN year older than me...I have been working since I was 17

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

*gets off soap box now*

so,you are saying there is no way out of this evil cycle br?

You seem to have hit a nerve there sue.

7:59 pm

our retirement is now 67:(

8:00 pm

Jillyjill

Oh BR, you are so correct...the pharmacuetical and insurance companies are the resident evil....

8:00 pm

stidmama

BR, you are hearing no arguments from me -- it is so difficult sometimes to be hopeful when it seems the people making the decisions are least affected by them.

8:01 pm

stidmama

I don't expect to retire. <-- full stop

8:01 pm

Jillyjill

Well, mine is supposed to be too

8:01 pm

i expect to dies in harness

of course, I LOVE teaching and can't imagine not doing at least some teaching now for the rest of my life... (reserving the right to change my opinion later).

8:02 pm

Nef

Obama had his hands tied by Congress and lobbyists from the Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. That's the same thing that happened with the medicare bill covering meds. The Federal Government couldn't bargain with group rates....

8:03 pm

I never thought i would retire either, but when I had to declare bankruptcy decided that I would since I could afford it (of course now I am working for another year....)

8:04 pm

firefly779

I agree there BR

8:04 pm

MollyL

It's a matter of opinion as to whether Obama has his "hands tied" or has chosen not to act aggressively.

8:05 pm

crosshair

with all the heads available to vote down there,you guys have to get the right people in the right place to bring universal health care about

8:05 pm

stidmama

glad the smoke isn't being awful for you, firefly, I took some diphenhydramine today to boost my regular allergy meds because we have some smoke in the air. So far, haven't needed my inhaler, though!

8:06 pm

uusue2

I was sorry they took the single payer option off the table - since the Republicans weren't going to vote for the bill anyway, why not leave it in?

8:06 pm

stidmama

okay -- Tom is home and I should think about supper. Back later. *poof*

I do not care about labels ..... our leaders our failing us and we watch like sheep ..... listening to liars and expedients who have not interest in our welfare

8:08 pm

MollyL

Yes, and then we re-elect them.

8:08 pm

o-o

are failing

8:08 pm

We'll never get universal health care if Romney & Ryan win the election. Probably will not get it if Obama wins.

same here, sue and Jilly. Partisan politics have ruined how this country works.

8:08 pm

And crossy, I believe that it cost the US a trillion a year for the Iraq and Middle East fiasco (for the past 11 years?

8:11 pm

I told my congressional delegation to their faces they violate their oaths of office everyday ..... they get rich, divorce and remarry go on trips and gasbag ad nauseum ...

8:11 pm

Minveryork

Crosshair, getting the right people into the right places means getting the right people in congress and senate.

8:12 pm

They were reluctant to agree with me.

I bet BR!

8:12 pm

Minveryork

Unfortunately,President,democrat or republican, has to go through those people to get anything accomplished.

8:13 pm

IT is sad what has happened to our government. NPR said the other day that our Congress has operated more like a Parliment and it won't be a democracy anymore if we continue down this route.

8:15 pm

ok, I have added the is6 to the physics babblets (it's really a weather term but I figure that counts) and am going to go collapse. I'll keep you all posted.

Oh, man, BR!!!

Thank you Nef, me too ;)

8:22 pm

Nef

Have you noticed how many political pundits there are these days and no one is really thinking about where this country is going?

8:23 pm

MollyL

The press is not inclined to voice alternate opinions when they are biased towards one candidate. And our press is definitely biased towards one candidate.

8:24 pm

Jillyjill

Just now read it firefly..perfect example of what is wrong with insurance. And why we need single payer system...HELL, give us the same program our legistlators have!!

8:24 pm

wht

You know it is funny. Conservatives think that the press has a liberal bias but liberals think it has a conservative bias.

8:24 pm

And hence my point that healthcare in this country IS rationed....

8:25 pm

Yes, Hannity, drudge and limbaugh have been very straightforward

Guess we'll all just have to wait until November...that and mute the TV commercials...

8:26 pm

I used to get so many emails from my step mother about all sorts of wild statements about "Obamacare." I asked her if she ever READ the Affordable Health Care Act and I told her to do so; it takes less time that most cheap fiction paperbacks.

In one denial letter, insurance actually mentioned they have to consider the other payers when deciding to deny ME. Aren't I paying into just as much as the next person?? Really, my life just didn't qualify today, huh?

8:27 pm

Nef

Jilly, the legislators have the same choices of insurance that my DH has; it's just they can afford higher options than us.

8:28 pm

Jillyjill

*shudders*...so damn frustrating (((firelfy)))

8:28 pm

wht

Even if I don't have a song in my heart, I found one in the grid.

8:28 pm

Nef

firefly; that is abhorant! No wonder the lawyer accepted your case!

8:28 pm

Jillyjill

Nice break there wht...lol

8:28 pm

firefly779

Cute wht ;)

Nef, he was the only I could find that wanted or knew halfway how to try the case...

8:31 pm

o-o

I suggested to my representatives that all who run for elective office must as a condition precedent be homeless for three months, go without health insurance and volunteer at soup kitchens and the like

8:32 pm

Jillyjill

OMG...what a great thought!

8:34 pm

Nef

I totally agree, BR! And then after their terms in office are over; there should also be a clause where they can't be lobbyists or re-elected for 10-15 years..

8:37 pm

snags

or BR, if they are to receive their paycheck, they have to work for it.

8:37 pm

Minveryork

Any President, whether democrat or republican, needs to be in office for 8 years in order to get anything done.

8:37 pm

snags

at least 50 weeks out of the yeqar.

8:39 pm

Jillyjill

And let's not even get into their retirement plans....

8:42 pm

Nef

there's a lot of rumors about legislators getting the same pay for retirement as when they were in office, Jilly. Here is a link to the truth

8:43 pm

Jillyjill

It's just they get it for working such a short time....unlike me. Like I said, I started working as an aide when I was 17...

8:43 pm

MollyL

I disagree. Many Presidents have gotten a lot done in their first four years. And legislator retirement plans are obscene.

8:45 pm

clue for the first co7 please

Oops! Another long link that messes up the chat log.

I forgot about that n lurking in the top row.

8:48 pm

Tried putting in that web address and got an error message

8:48 pm

Nef

Sorry, what did I do Min?

8:48 pm

MollyL

Tiny url people, tiny url

8:49 pm

Minveryork

It's okay Nef. Crosshair did it the other night too. You did not do anything wrong.

8:49 pm

MollyL

truthorfiction.com is a totally Obama biased web site.

8:50 pm

Minveryork

Thank you Nef for informing us of what we need to know.

8:50 pm

Jillyjill

I admit poor knowlege of the tiny url...can you enlighten molly?

8:51 pm

MollyL

Copy a big url, go to tinyurl.com and you can get a shorter url

8:51 pm

Nef

my view of chog didn't change any; I didn't know that it changed it for others.

8:51 pm

Nef

And there's no way to fix this now, is there? I'm very sorry for that

8:52 pm

MollyL

It's okay Nef. It will go away when that post flushes off the chat page.

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

Nef

Molly, I get such a kick out of so many people who say that Truth or Fiction or Snopes are biased to the left or right ; I've found so many sites that credit them with being neutral

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT wht!!

8:53 pm

Nef

YAY, wht!!! WTG!!!

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

My view has changed...can't see all of the posts..

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

How about we start another political discussion...that'll clear the chog but quick

8:56 pm

MollyL

Look at the front page of truthorfiction.com. Every single link is a link to a story defending Obama.

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

;P

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

Well, with the smoke and working on computer all weekend, my eyes are really burning...so am going to *poof* hagn all!!

9:00 pm

Nef

Molly, did you see the Note that says that the ads are are under the
control of Google Ads,
not TruthOrFiction.com,
which is a non-partisan site.

9:03 pm

Nef

I also use Factcheck.org; politifact.org, snopes, and about 12 others...

9:03 pm

MollyL

I'm not talking about the ads. I'm talking about the links to articles. And just for the record, I wouldn't be thrilled with a site that was biased towards Romney either.

9:04 pm

Nef

niters, Jilly. I hope that the air clears up for you soon!

9:05 pm

Nef

hmmm. I typed Open secrets and source watch there too. Wonder why they didn't post?

9:06 pm

Minveryork

I love it when people send me political e-mails that say the e-mail is true because snopes.com verified it to be true. Then I check it out on snopes and it totally refutes what the e-mail says.

9:07 pm

Nef

LOL! I get those all the time too, Min! (Usually from my step mother again)

9:07 pm

wht

Well good night all. Happy Babbling.

9:08 pm

Nef

I keep hoping that my long link post will disappear, but it's still a long way from falling off the bottom of chog.

9:08 pm

Nef

Niters, wht

9:13 pm

MollyL

Six more posts Nef : )

9:13 pm

Minveryork

I get them from my husband's Cousin's and Uncles. Of course I can't just ignore those e-mails, which I should do. Instead I send them the snopes link refuting their e-mail. Then I give them a lecture about sending e-mails without verifying the validity of the e-mail. I am sure it pisses them off to no end!

9:14 pm

I'm trying; but no one else is chatting now..

9:16 pm

Looks like you'll be he4/6ing from that Penalty Box nrkii.

Thank you all! Now I can go back to playing again. ;-)

I'm exempt. I haven't really started the grid, so I can't be penalized for using a word in the grid that I hadn't looked at. (It's in the fine print.)
