today is hydro day, and this is the best i have felt for 2 weeks. (remember when i first st5ed hydro?)
1:42 am
VolleymomDee
sure do... wasn't a fun time in the beginning
1:44 am
grannyrose
well, on hydro days i allow myself to take the oxycodone.....didn't realise just how well that drug was working. today did my entire program, and only winced twice.
1:45 am
VolleymomDee
wow, really impressive! Bet that really made you feel encouraged!
1:47 am
grannyrose
it sure did, dee. i do a side lunge exercise, to stretch the muscles all the way up to my groin....when i lunge the other way, my knee has to bend to allow a stretch on the opposite leg. today my knee was on the floor of the pool. which means a flexion over 110 degrees.
1:48 am
VolleymomDee
incredible!
1:48 am
grannyrose
lol, dee, never thought it was going to happen.
1:49 am
grannyrose
oh, dee, did you look at the feasibility of using anatrin for your FM?
1:49 am
VolleymomDee
I knew it would :). Two of my friends who have had knee replacements experienced similar feelings and problems... one of them called it "hitting the wall"...
1:50 am
VolleymomDee
I sent the info to my two doctor friends, who are aware of my allergy issues... will see what they say.
1:51 am
grannyrose
everything crossed for you, dee. and lots of prayers that you too can use it to get some relief, as i have.
1:52 am
VolleymomDee
Thanks! Sure never hurts to check things out.
1:53 am
VolleymomDee
How was mother mac's visit to her daughter's?
1:54 am
grannyrose
i understand, dee. i was diagnosed as allergic to the 21st century years ago. i'm allergic to plastic, gas(even natural gas), petrol, plus so many foods and meds. i'm supposed to live in a bubble, if you know what i mean.
1:55 am
grannyrose
they both survived, and Don and i had a wow of a weekend.
1:55 am
dizgrannie
how WOW of a w/end...LOL
1:57 am
grannyrose
ummmm really GOOD quality time together. *giggle* lord, i do so love this man. we went out for coffee/chocolate, lunch, a movie, dinner.
1:58 am
dizgrannie
LOL good for you both xx
1:58 am
grannyrose
i was actually able to relax in church, instead of waiting for a call to hurry home again.
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
How did you overcome all of those allergies?
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
You should plan those a little more frequently.
2:02 am
grannyrose
dee, it's strange. i was tested at one of our major teaching hospital's allergy clinic. the director herself took an interest in my case. after all the tests came back, she looked at me.( the results were not good, positive as i said to so many things) then gave me a prescription for my first epipen of adrenaline, said " go and live your life to the full, enjoy it" and i have never looked back.
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
good outlook
2:04 am
grannyrose
yes, i still have reactions, the latest when i had my surgery, and they gave me a common antibiotic which is used as a prophylaxis to post-op infections. of course, yours truely swelled up, broke out in giant urticaria.
2:05 am
VolleymomDee
I am allergic to almost all antibiotics, so I can totally relate; it sucks
2:06 am
grannyrose
another one on an already long list. lol. i had my anaphylaxis kit( tabs, epipen) beside me in my bedside cupboard. i rang my buzzer, took the meds, and when my poor harried nurse arrived, i told her what i had taken. fortunately, didn't have to use the adrenaline. HATE the adrenaline.
2:08 am
VolleymomDee
so very fortunate; those reactions can be so dangerous... go from bad to worse way too quickly.
2:08 am
grannyrose
but the comfort of knowing i don't have to WAIT for medical help, i have it with me 24/7, helps me to relax and enjoy my life.
2:09 am
grannyrose
do you carry an epipen, dee?
2:09 am
VolleymomDee
great idea... a pharmacist friend told me that with antibiotics, the allergy can actually be to the "fillers"... not even the antibiotic itself.
2:10 am
VolleymomDee
no, I have never had that bad of a reaction; carry benadryl... but this last year have wondered if they are getting worse... some foods cause me to itch now
2:11 am
grannyrose
yup, so true. would you believe i am allergic to the propellant in a ventolin puffer? found that out the hard way.
2:12 am
VolleymomDee
that would have been a pain... I found out last year I was allergic to brewer's yeast used as a filler in a folic acid capsule... now have a lot of my meds compounded to make sure I don't have that again
2:12 am
grannyrose
i also carry a pill container with 50mgs prednisolone( hydrocortisone) and an antihistamine.
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
our bodies sure make life interesting.... very smart!!!
2:13 am
grannyrose
brewer's yeast....that one gave me a migraine, diarrhoea and vomiting....great combo...thought i was going to die that night.
2:14 am
VolleymomDee
Well, I ne to get going for now; so glad you are making such great strides now!! Yipes! I bet you did.

2:27 am

well, my dear, almost at the end of a very long day. hydro days start at 6:15am, and it's nearly 5:30pm. with the drugs on board....i think you catch my drift.

4:04 am
sprite
it may sound stupid, but he really needs to feel your limits, ruby. So he can limit himself somewhere. Am happy you do it.
4:04 am
sprite
rbud, how nice :D
4:04 am
rubyfoo
what color, rbud
4:04 am
rbud
welllll.... sort of dusty rose.
4:05 am
rubyfoo
maybe he's feeling anxious about his daughter's visit
4:05 am
sprite
oh sounds good. What colour is your furniture there?
4:05 am
rubyfoo
ooh, love dusty rose (good with rbud lol)
4:05 am
rbud
hope it goes with the paint - if not, c'est la vie! ;p
4:05 am
sprite
ruby: yes, I think he is. It wasn't so pleasant for him last time, if I remember correctly. And he is at a stage where every break in his routine is hard on him.
4:06 am
sprite
it will go with the paint.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
but, at the moment, I'm taking care of Fr taxes, renewal of Cartes de Sejour, new car arriving, health insurance, bank statements, etc., none of which he knows anything about. And HE'S feeling anxious? Please
4:07 am
rubyfoo
but he was so anxious about having her come to visit that he immediately paid for her ticket
4:07 am
rubyfoo
go figure!
4:07 am
rubyfoo
I'm glad she's coming, though, and have arranged for her to walk through a nature preserve with a guide as part of her "treats"
4:07 am
rbud
I am not sure about the furniture, it's natural wood, but I want to paint the headboard off white and glaze the high points darker, never done anything like it, ready to try. if it goes well, may do the dresser too.
4:08 am
sprite
lol ruby... yeah, it all comes on your shoulders. That is taxing. And vexing, grin. *extra hug* for you. Ah and you know that paying for stuff is kind of his way to show affection. I wish I could make this easier on both of you... I should live nearer.
4:08 am
rbud
feeling creative. :)
4:08 am
sprite
oh rbud, that sounds awesome! Go for it.
4:08 am
rubyfoo
just call me the paperwork queen NOT!
4:09 am
sprite
you are definitely an organiser, ruby, so you can be a paperwork queen if you need :D
4:09 am
rbud
yes, I think you need an extra (((hug))), too, ruby, you are too good.
4:09 am
rubyfoo
rbud, I missed what color are the walls
4:10 am
rubyfoo
I am not so good and certainly not talented at paperwork but somebody has to do it and I guess I've been elected, at least by default. But when he denigrates what I accomplish, then I'm ready to give him a smack!
4:11 am
sprite
and you should. Don't take crap from him, he has no right to make you feel bad or inferior. And you cannot let him take out his frustration on you. No matter how logical it is he feels frustrated by his limitations.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
but, of course, I don't....he's still stronger
4:11 am
rbud
walls are the same as the carpet, but several shades lighter, ceiling off white, new window and door trim all off white - I'm not decorating it for the old man, lol, it's for me. :D
4:11 am
rubyfoo
and more fish have died
4:12 am
rubyfoo
if any of the wood colors or off whites seem to be too bright, you can always apply a little rose with a sponge for an antique-y effect
4:12 am
sprite
rbud - it sounds so pretty and cozy. A great place to sleep and... well... read :D
4:13 am
rbud
song running through my head, as it often does when my hubby gets picky and crabby - "you always hurt the one you love"
4:13 am
sprite
lol ruby, nah, slugging it out is not the way, I fully agree. Fish dieing will be hard on him too. He cannot handle frustration very well.
4:13 am
rbud
oooh, good idea, ruby, will remember that - had thought I might tint the headboard paint just ever so lightly pink, too, might do so.
4:14 am
sprite
so true, rbud.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
as my mother used to say "25 years of art school had to be worth something" LOL
4:14 am
rubyfoo
she'd say that when I was mixing powder paints for my little students
4:15 am
sprite
hehehe your home is so beautiful, ruby, that art school totally payed off
4:16 am
sprite
oh btw, my son finally apologised today for his rudeness. And the poor boy is ill - just put him to bed for more sleep.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
but it grows shabbier day-by-day. needs new wallpaper and paint - dog-wear and housekeepr-wear
4:16 am
rubyfoo
it was beautiful when it was first remodelled
4:17 am
sprite
yeah well, that may be the case, ruby, but it still looks very good. And you don't need the extra work and mess.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
or the expense at the moment!
4:17 am
sprite
I have to confess I like to be able to see a house is being lived in. A showroom is beautiful, but too cold to my taste.
4:18 am
sprite
ah yes, that too. It is all so very expensive.
4:18 am
rubyfoo
baby dog (25 kg baby!) is still biting the wallpaper
4:18 am
sprite
lol... come on ruby, time to train the little monster!
4:18 am
rbud
it's been so long since this room got built, it's ridiculous. but the time (and money) has come, so finally getting it done.
4:19 am
sprite
you will enjoy it so much once it is done, rbud
4:19 am
rubyfoo
it sounds like it will be beautiful, rbud.
4:20 am
rubyfoo
Have you considered wallpaper in dusty rose and brown pattern or off-white and dusty rose, just for contrast
4:20 am
rubyfoo
(small amounts)
4:20 am
rbud
The big reward will be when we move the living room into the old bedroom, which obviously used to be the front "parlor", and then move my tiny kitchen into the room we have been using as the living room. it will be twice the size, yay!
4:20 am
sprite
wooot! That is so great, to have room in your kitchen!
4:21 am
rubyfoo
when we bought the house, it had a tiny, ark kitchen. I knocked out a wall, added a window and made two small rooms into one kitchen/breakfast room. Even added a fireplace.
4:21 am
rbud
I am considering just that sort of pattern/color for my curtains, ruby, so I'll get some in there. :)
4:22 am
rubyfoo
perfect, rbud. I carried swatches around for two years while remodel was being planned and executed
4:22 am
sprite
ruby's kitchen is huge, with everything in its place, and it is utterly cozy. A great place to work and chat in.
4:23 am
rubyfoo
sprite has a special chair!
4:23 am
rubyfoo
so she can keep me company while I chop chop
4:24 am
rbud
I've put up with my tiny kitchen for over 20 years since we moved in here, it's about time it got an upgrade.
4:24 am
rubyfoo
whoops, sorry
4:24 am
sprite
yes I did :D Out of ruby's way but close to her to see and chat
4:24 am
sprite
am so happy for you, rbud. You earned it!
4:25 am
rbud
sounds lovely - hoping to finally have enough room for chairs all the way around a table, lol, instead of it squeezed against a wall.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
now I'd better see to DH,. He's on his second Campari!
4:25 am
sprite
tell him I said hi and sent him a virtual hug.
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I'd rather stay here where nobody is being nasty, even when I put words in the chog
4:27 am
sprite
you can handle him, ruby. Hold on to yourself. *hug*
4:29 am
sprite
I know what you mean, rbud. We have the same thing, a small kitchen and we have to bring in the chairs after cooking. It is either cooking or sitting.
4:30 am
rbud
actually one of my kitchen chairs is my computer desk chair at the moment, will have to find another one when I can fit all four around the table full time.
4:31 am
sprite
*giggles* Every improvement has its downside...
4:32 am
rbud
an excuse to visit the second hand stores, love it! that and I'll need a new sofa. the old one's too old, and too long, too, to fit into the new living room setup.
4:32 am
sprite
I very much like shopping in second hand stores and finding treasures.
4:34 am
rbud
same here, can't bring myself to pay new prices - unless it's an appliance - now own the first brand new stove and fridge I've ever had.
4:34 am
sprite
well I'd better get myself out the door and into the shops to get groceries, or I will lose the courage. *hugs* to rbud and enjoy planning etc for the remodelling!
4:35 am
rbud
I need to get to bed, enjoy your day! :)
4:35 am
sprite
oh same here. Why pay a load of money when there is already somewhere a used one that is perfect for you. We do the same.
4:35 am

5:53 am

just had to put "the leash of shame" on the kitten(7 months old) he is a bully to the other 2 cats and terrorizes them.what we do is clip a leash to his collar for him to grag around for a few hours and it turns him from alpha male cat of the jungle to a dangle toy for the other cats to chase around the house for an hour or 2
7:13 am

works quite well

well, I'm trying to get Frank in to see a doctor - there is a clinic in town for those without health insurance but they base their fees on your last year's tax return; he is in the middle of a divorce so last year filed jointly, and his wife had significant income (she has since lost her job)
8:34 am

the crazy thing, crossy, is that it's not JUST those people. it's actually people who can use the help and yet don't want it cause they are too wedded to the idea of self-reliance, or people who THINK they are self-reliant but don't realize that government is actually providing their medicare, etc.

cosdem
thanks molly! will comment on that
1:19 pm
MollyL
I would send any comments directly to Amazon. If you read the entire discussion, people don't seem to think Amazon is monitoring it.
1:20 pm
cosdem
right. i already emailed them a few mins ago.. will comment just n case
1:20 pm
cosdem
i think the discussion boards for mostly issues people know how to resolve and help others
1:32 pm
MollyL
Yes, but any responsible discussion board sponsor monitors those discussions and comments, if necessary. Lack of comment by Amazon there is very telling.

3:23 pm
MollyL
Correction: professional days.
3:23 pm

Not an in-service day because Central Office is closed also.
3:24 pm

Teachers don't get professional days off, only the students. That's when the teachers are meeting or doing other types of work.

Goodbye periwinkle! I will see you later on in the chat log.
3:52 pm

the un + "lease" one means not torn. So it is an adjective and thus not subject to pluralization.
3:53 pm
Minveryork
Thanks for the explanation Knight Time.I should know that being an ESL teacher and all. *bows head down in shame*'

I am almost finished with the grid so lets see if I can mu 6/24 up a story of clues for you guys.When I was in high school,I in6/21ed on becoming a nurse when I got older Afer graduating high school, I at 6/21ed medical school at John's Hopkins University and did my in6/18ship. But the ro 4/5 to becoming to nurse took a different tu4/5. It was then I decided NOT to become a nurse. Learning terms like st 5/10 and st 7/36 was quite boring to me. I also found out that te4/5ing to patients was not my cup of tea. Even though I wasted a lot of money on medical school, I did not give a do 4/5. I went back to school to become a teacher. After taking the required st 5/10 te 4/4s, I got my teaching degree.I was in di4/5 need of a job so I worked at a di 5/12 so I could pay my re 4/4. It took me ni4/4 months to get my very first teaching job. Although my ne4/4 pay is way less than a nurse's salary, I am happy with my job. I'm so glad that I tr 5/12ed my instincts to become a teacher. Hubby is being a tw 4/8. He has gotten into a sn 4/4 while waiting for the laptop and he is ti4/4d of waiting.I mu4/5 sure4/5er laptop to hubby so he doesn't cause a ri4/4. By the way, this story is not tr 4/5. I am going to go watch the movie "Nu4/5 on the Run". I'll back later on tonight to finish this grid.
5:59 pm
lilliann
well i have 49 so far so will probably slow down in the next 10 :)how's your retirement going sue? are you still doing work for the university?
5:59 pm

6:00 pm
lilliann
hi min, nice to see you.i will look through your story and thanks upfront for all your clues :)
6:06 pm
lilliann
oh great sue.does that mean you still get a pension and then extra money for working, because that is what companies do here apparently. i was speaking to my next door neighbour and he told me that a friend of his took early retirement because the company she was working for was looking for redundancies ,so she took it and got a good lump sum and her pension and now she works for them again with better pay and can choose the hours she works....go figure!
6:08 pm
periwinkle
ti6/21 pls
6:08 pm
uusue2
yes, they can pay me enough so that my pension plus my pay equals my highest pay ever, so it's a good deal for both of us (I taught several courses on overload last year)

Lilliann, Miley Cyrus has basically become another slutty celebrity like Brittany Spears.
7:20 pm
wht
Good evening all.
7:20 pm
periwinkle
FW, bye for now
7:22 pm
lilliann
what a shame.i never liked Brittany, but, it's obviously because of their young fame...so if they get5 into drink and drugs, then there managers should get into trouble!
7:22 pm
lilliann
yay peri.tc hin
7:23 pm
lilliann
plus their families if they have any
7:24 pm
lilliann
as in to do with their fame
7:27 pm

Clue for the first mu6/24
7:28 pm
wht
Think eye drops, boo
7:29 pm
lilliann
eye drops wht?
7:29 pm
Boobear
It worked..good clue wht
7:30 pm
lilliann
that must be an american clue :(
7:31 pm
MollyL
I think it's possible for teenage celebrities to stay on the "clean" side. Taylor Swift is a good example. It seems some teenage celebrities have a good circle around them, and some do not.
7:32 pm
wht
Lilli. It is an American clue. I checked boos flag before I gave it.
7:32 pm
wht
So change the first vowel of a word having to do with the ocean.
7:33 pm
wht
Molly, In Miley's case, her parents had to know exactly what she was getting into.
7:34 pm
wht
But then most of us have the luxury of going through that phase of our lives without it showing up in magazines and on TV.
7:36 pm
lilliann
i thought miley cyrus was on the clean side...obviously not but i think she was for a while. my daughter loved her and i liked seeing her in hannah montannah with heri suppose with all dad(only because my bairn loved watching it).i suppose with all the exposure it gets to them at some point, especially when they are young...that's what the media does to them!!
7:38 pm
cosdem
lindsay lohan was considered innocent once too.
7:40 pm
lilliann
i know miley's dad, obviously n ot personally, but is her mam famous?
7:41 pm
rumplestiltskin
any clues on the mu7's
7:41 pm
MollyL
I think Lindsay and Miley were both innocent once. I blame bad decisions on the part of their parents and "handlers" for what happened to those girls.
7:42 pm
wht
The first is Herman Mu7 from the TV show
7:43 pm
wht
The second is the eye drops with an extra vowel
7:43 pm
Boobear
Clue for the second ne7/28
7:43 pm
lilliann
i just think it is such a shame that these young bairns, then teenagers are exploited at such a young age that they don't know what is happening in their lives and when they are so young they can't decide what is going on it is their parents and publishers, or whatever they have
7:43 pm
wht
And the third is a small inspiration?
7:43 pm
wht
Most orderly, boo.
7:44 pm
lilliann
sorry wht, i'm still not getting the eye drop clue
7:46 pm

Do the sleeping pills help well enough? I know "things" are easier to handle when you're better rested.
8:30 pm
rumplestiltskin
Just taking them for a few days. Don't want to get hooked on them. Still trying to get my thyroid under control.
8:31 pm
rururocks
being around your daughter will be good for you rumple
8:31 pm
stidmama
yes, I understand not wanting to get hooked. I took sedatives for a while to help me sleep years ago, and also was careful to not get dependent.
8:32 pm
rururocks
sedatives don't work on me
8:36 pm

I te4 to be a little hyper if you can believe that

rumple, if you're still here, could I make a donation in your husband's memory to our local animal rescue shelter? I know you both loved animals.
8:44 pm
MollyL
Hey, if it were not for those of us down in the gutter, those with their noses in the air would have nothing to look down upon.
8:45 pm

bugs, I get to teach for a friend tomorrow!!! And I already know most of the kids!!!! *bounce bounce* we are going to have SO MUCH FUN doing math :-)
8:46 pm
rururocks
my brother didn't move out till he was 45 Bugs.. you have a lot to look forward to..lol
8:46 pm
Bugsaw
oh it will be such fun for the kids too!
8:47 pm
stidmama
;-) well... maybe. LOL I think we'll do well. It's going to be a sunny day, too -- so very hot in the afternoon, but it will mean they have both recesses outside, and that always makes things easier.
8:47 pm
rururocks
made up for me moving out at 16
8:48 pm
stidmama
ruru? you have a sibling???? *shakes mama head in disbelief* your poor mother...
8:48 pm
Bugsaw
I find the kids always did better when they had a sub they knew
8:49 pm
rururocks
my poor mother? are you freaking kidding me?
8:49 pm
stidmama
yes, partly because the subs' anxiety levels are lower... *grin* and they are able to anticipate what we mean at the same time we can better anticipate what they are going to need.
8:49 pm
MollyL
<---Was wondering about that "poor mother" comment
8:50 pm
Bugsaw
what does my icon say, for Pete's sake that ruru thinks I wud tolerate a kid here for 45 years. It won't change for me and I can't access it so......... Having a kid at home at 45 was my biggest nightmare
8:50 pm
Bugsaw
I agree with Poor Mother
8:50 pm
stidmama
Well, I am thinking about all the puns you make. And thinking about 45 years of similar hilarity. I would be exhausted!
8:51 pm
rururocks
oh.. I was a very quiet kid stid
8:51 pm
stidmama
I am struggling just with 20 years of kids at home!
8:52 pm
Bugsaw
After my 4th son was born one friend wouldn't come to see me at the hospital because he was going thru Poor MOther grief for me. He said I wud have wrecked cars in my yard for decades!
8:52 pm
stidmama
ah -- that would make it easier, I think -- but hopefully not too quiet? I always worry when my kids are not up to at least some small mischief.
8:52 pm
stidmama
rofl Bugs --- and he was right! only it's boats, and it's not your kids... *giggle* say hi to mr bugs for me!
8:53 pm
Bugsaw
He is the worst for sure. :)
8:55 pm
MollyL
It's true. Ignorance is bliss.
8:57 pm
stidmama
I use the same "spidey-mama" sense when I am teaching as when I am parenting. If they are making enough noise so I know where they are, OR they are in line of sight, we are good. If I can't see or hear them... call in the National Guard!
8:58 pm
Bugsaw
my DIL was here this weekend and we said the same thing. we know where they are and what they are doing by the sounds. When you don't hear anything, or hear a new sound, RUN
8:59 pm
stidmama
okay, I want to make those pickles I have been talking about for a week. I have plenty of pickles (got four more from the garden this evening) and all the ingredients. Back tomorrow. Down to 53 now, might babble a bit before I turn in, too. ((((rumple)))) I will keep you in my heart *poof*

To each his sufferings: all are men,
Condemned alike to groan;
The tender for another's pain,
The unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.
