12:55 am

jillibus

neil, I have to have plastic surgery on the bridge of my nose to remove a basal cell carcinoma. It will involve a skin graft about the size of a 50 cent piece. I'm told it will take about an hour. I'm being taken there (ferry to Vancouver Island needed) by two friends and will be back in the evening. I have to go back four days later for the first dressing removal by the surgeon. After that, daily changes probably by the nurses here on Salt Spring -- the same gang who healed my leg (took 4 months) after the ankle break surgery.

12:55 am

westford

Marmar

Hi West!

12:59 am

[and get nothing else done as a result]

1:07 am

jillibus

haha, west, and I don't even like re words!

1:07 am

jillibus

jigidi is highly addictive too...

1:07 am

Marmar

thanks y'all. My ray of sunshine just woke up and appeared in the living room asking me about Jilli's flag icon (very pretty) and now we are looking up interesting flags like Nepal and Lybia...google is also highly addictive!

1:08 am

Marmar

(I was referring to son Marcus there)

1:09 am

jillibus

and now I have an iPhone -- talk about addicition...!

1:09 am

westford

love that name..my daughter is currently touring Scotland with her friend Marcus and yes his middle name is Aurelius

1:10 am

westford

iPhones are so convenient aren't they?

1:10 am

jillibus

Well, I'd better be good and go to bed -- goodnight all and thanks for the boosts...*poof

1:11 am

westford

good night jilli..sleep well and don't worry

1:12 am

Marmar

West, Marcus is the only boys name we could agree on and we looked for weeks at name books and bibles and family records. Marcus was just right somehow!

1:12 am

westford

it is such a strong beautiful name

1:13 am

negativeneil

Oh wow, jilli... technology! My bro has an iPhone too. I'm still using my Motorolla DroidX, for now.

1:13 am

Marmar

Oh my, I just saw the middle name West! How cool is that?! We say that to our Marcus sometimes. When he was little and the Deutsche Mark was still our money here in Gemrany, we used to call him D-Mark!

1:14 am

westford

that's cute.

1:15 am

Marmar

Marcus' middle name is Austin, my dad's middle name and the capital of Texas, my homestate.

1:15 am

westford

I like that

1:16 am

westford

have you been back with the kids?

1:16 am

westford

you have a daughter too, yes?

1:17 am

Marmar

I have two girls West, Marcus is the baby of the fam. They are all in double digits now, 14, 13 and Marcus is 11.

1:18 am

westford

nice family

1:18 am

westford

and older than I thought

1:18 am

Marmar

never boring!

1:18 am

westford

I pictured your children as pre-schoolers

1:19 am

westford

just think..you'll soon have 3 teen-agers

1:20 am

Marmar

that's funny, I treat them as pre-schoolers! just kidding. I am trying to allow them to become who they are supposed to be without hanging on to the children that they were...it's hard.

1:20 am

westford

it always is

1:21 am

westford

you sound like a good mom

1:21 am

Marmar

You've been there!

1:21 am

westford

they will always be your children no matter how old they get

1:24 am

westford

â€œThe greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.â€ Denis Waitley

1:24 am

Marmar

When Natalie (middle child) was about three I asked her (jokingly) to promise to never leave me and always stay and take care of me till I'm old....blah blah and she of course being a sweet 3 yr. old said "oh yes mommy, I'll never leave you". I've teased her a couple times since then about her promise and she just cringes!

1:24 am

Marmar

lovely quote West!

1:25 am

westford

it is one of my favorites

1:25 am

westford

that was so sweet mar

1:26 am

westford

I still have 'coupons' Erin made for me in 1st grade that I could redeem..like I will make a bath for you etc

1:26 am

westford

I still have them and keep saying I'm going to cash them in someday

1:29 am

Marmar

Mine did stuff like that too. Love it! Marcus gave me a coupons for a movie date for my b-day this year, we just redeemed it last weekend!

1:29 am

westford

cool. what did you see?

1:30 am

Marmar

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3. Very cute. We love this series!

1:31 am

westford

our 9 yr old granddaughter loves it too

1:32 am

Marmar

There are some decent and good things out there for kids, this is one! So much junk to sift through though.

1:32 am

westford

we can't afford to go to the movies..just wait until we can see them on TV

1:33 am

westford

well we can but I hate to spend the money..and I can watch at home in my pajamas

1:35 am

Marmar

We usually do that, but he saved his allowance for my ticket and he used a gift certif. he received on his birthday and we brought our own M&Ms!

1:36 am

westford

what a sweet boy !

1:37 am

westford

our son is our youngest too ..has 3 older sisters and I always said he'd make someone a good husband..and he has

1:37 am

Marmar

We are big movie buffs, the whole family.

1:39 am

westford

I used to love going to movies on the base..same movie and way cheaper

1:43 am

Marmar

I agree about the advantage for a boy that has big sisters. I hope it holds true for Marcus. We used to have access to the Giessen military theater but those days are gone now. So sad, the whole place is overgrown and falling apart.

1:45 am

westford

Marmar

I was away making tea. Yes, the German bases are closing one after the other. They did renovate the living quarters into apartments and it is totally gorgeous, tons of playgrounds and grassy areas, surrounded by forests.

1:53 am

was actually only tipping off this discussion for the ka4 to find out wether i missed a meaning - for example if you woulnt know the english meaning for term hell and only the german (where it means bright) you get confused. Of course i had checked some dicts, but sometimes someone knows a usage thats not necesseraily in there. thanks for all your contributions

6:48 am

smores

english word for hell means bright in german - eek

6:49 am

Shallow One

same spelling, yes

6:49 am

did not know that - definatly could cause some confusion

6:50 am

There are other meanings. I think I should simply ignore queries after that.

7:40 am

Yes, he is, BR, although he'd started feeling better and had gotten lax about it - he's filled it in, though, and added this incident. He's still getting his head around all this.

7:41 am

o-o

It will take awhile before he recognizes the potential cause and effect

7:42 am

uusue2

He's also ramping down the prednisone (as prescribed by the non-GI doctor in the hospital) and hasn't started the new medicine yet. The GI doctor we saw said he'd have continued him on the prednisone for a coupld of months, not 8 days, one of the resasons I wish we'd seen a GI doctor before we left the hospital

We are bound together by the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead. We are bound and we are bound.

After a passenger asked her for the time in English, a Montreal bus driver called the police and ordered all twenty passengers to get off her bus. Her supervisors defended the action because, while English and French have been Canada's two official languages for exactly forty years, French and French alone is the official language of the province of QuÃ©bec.

... have you been to Quebec since the HST came in Crossy? ... I'm wondering about the price of gas ... is it still far more expensive on the other side of the River? ...

9:34 am

crosshair

there are some interesting ones to be sure and i am also sure i count among them at times

9:34 am

crosshair

no i have not dose,we fill up before the night drive

9:34 am

easy big fella

give it a rest PLEASE

9:36 am

doseffing

... Daughter1 went to McGill for four years and we always filled up at the last gas station in Ontario because it was 6 - 13 cents a litre less expensive than on the other side of the border ... ... but then we got the HST ... and that put sales tax on gasoline in Ontario ... and I'm wondering if there was already sales tax on gas in Quebec so that the difference would disappear ... ... must drive east next summer to find out ...

9:37 am

crosshair

yes,when i was running my last station it added 8 cents a litre to the tank cost in my underground tanks

9:38 am

crosshair

before that we only paid gst on fuel,nat gas and propane

9:39 am

crosshair

actually in the long run,it is what made me give up the fuel business.it ate up my fuel margins

9:40 am

crosshair

that and the big box stores coming in and putting up 100,000 sq foot stores and tossing 16 gas pumps out there and selling at cost just to get you in the store

9:42 am

crosshair

now,unless you are moving 25,000 litres a day,you are not making it

ok,acording to mollys rules on people this is the last post i can do before i am officially boring the crap out of people;)). good time to find a few more words

... interesting series going on in the Globe and Mail about what the writer perceives as the state of life in the States ... ... story today about how the building of a "mall" on the edge of town in Springfield Ohio contributed to the hollowing out of the downtown area and instead of being the hoped for boon to the economy proved to be the nail which blew the tire and contributed to messing up the entire retail sector

lol,always keep the ladies thinking of you i always say

9:48 am

crosshair

even if it is bacon related hehe

9:49 am

CiociaJudy

bacon and crossy are synonymous

9:49 am

crosshair

reminds me,i best look up the word bacon in french just in case hehe

9:50 am

crosshair

lol! it is "lard" should of known

9:51 am

CiociaJudy

lol

9:51 am

smores

<----sending BR a chamomile tea and a hug

9:52 am

smores

that is too funny french for bacon is lard - really? :)

9:52 am

crosshair

yup

9:52 am

crosshair

The true French word for bacon is lard (masc., "lahr"), but the type of bacon that Americans and English commonly eat for breakfast isn't very common at all in France. So you will also often find the English word in French contexts, which they give a sort of hybrid pronunciation: "beh-ee-koh[n]" (with the typical French "on" nasal vowel at the end).

9:53 am

smores

hilarious

9:53 am

crosshair

now i can have breakfast if i am tossed off the bus at least:))))

9:53 am

crosshair

i know eggs "ouef"

9:54 am

crosshair

and can say "smirnoff" in about 30 languages,so i am fine

9:55 am

doseffing

... checked babblefish ... ... they give "lard" "bacon" and "bacon on tranches" ... ... the last looks like "sliced bacon" to me ... but I don't remember what it says on the package in the refrigerator ...

9:56 am

crosshair

let me peek.i have a pound of pork heaven in the fridge

9:56 am

Buggie

actually, the french pronounce bacon the english way, I haven't heard anyone use the nasal "on" ending in years. And although "lard" does technically include bacon, most french will argue that "lard" only refers to the fat, not the meat.

9:57 am

crosshair

it is also the english way on the package

9:57 am

crosshair

my! bacon is such fun eh? lol

9:58 am

doseffing

... that was my impression of the babblefish translation ... ... and you've likely got to watch out if you're in Quebec or in France ...

9:58 am

crosshair

feeling better now.here BR have a nice crossy style B.L.T and smile

9:58 am

crosshair

like i say as for quebec,i drive through 9 times out of ten

9:59 am

crosshair

and france,ah that is not likely

9:59 am

crosshair

and the french say the quebecers speak a bastardized form of french anyways,they tend to snub it..i am told

10:00 am

o-o

Have your fun

10:00 am

crosshair

ill have to ask ruby bout it.she will know

10:00 am

Buggie

canadian french can be a little odd at times, they bring in new words, and also use incredibly archaic terms

10:01 am

doseffing

... I believe the situation is that the french in Quebec got stuck in the seventeenth century when they became isolated from France ...

10:01 am

crosshair

indeed buggie

10:01 am

crosshair

interesting

10:01 am

crosshair

i Do know they have real nasty signage by-law in quebec and they are militant about it

10:13 am

crosshair

system restore back before this update.is easiest way

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know how

10:15 am

crosshair

start/control panel/system and security/action centre

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

ok it is running now

10:15 am

crosshair

reset computer to earlier time it will say and just choose a date

10:16 am

smores

TO - go to control panel, then under system and security click find/fix problems - should show recovery on the bottom left corner

10:16 am

crosshair

but always remember,after any update,always restert computer

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh...the last restore point is a windows update, NOT what i was prompted to restore

10:16 am

crosshair

said that smorres

10:16 am

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i hope it was legit

10:16 am

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

Hi uusue!

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

How is Frank?

6:12 pm

uusue2

better than last night, Jilly - apparently ice cream is a no-no

6:13 pm

Jillyjill

Yipes..*shudders at thought of no ice cream*

6:14 pm

uusue2

yeah, not only does he have all the gluten free restrictions, but now he has to be low fat and low fiber too

6:14 pm

Jillyjill

Do they have a colonoscopy date yet?

6:15 pm

uusue2

Oct. 30

6:15 pm

MollyL

Edy's has a fat free brand of ice cream.

6:15 pm

uusue2

have to wait until the inflammation subsides

6:15 pm

Jillyjill

Good!

6:15 pm

Jillyjill

Could be related to the lactose as well...

6:16 pm

uusue2

he's been eating yogurt with no problem, as well as milk-based soups, so I don't think that's it

6:16 pm

Jillyjill

That's good....

6:17 pm

uusue2

and I'll check out the ice cream, molly, but he's sensitive to so many ingredients that it gets very tricky very quickly (he was ok with plain sherbet so I am going to try to get some more of that)

6:17 pm

MollyL

Well thank God. Because I cry foul on one person dealing with celiac, Crohn's and lactose intolerance.

6:17 pm

uusue2

indeed :-)

6:18 pm

uusue2

and we suspect that some of the things he thought he was sensitive to might have been related to Crohn's flares; maybe if his disease is under control he can handle them (things like grapes)

6:18 pm

Jillyjill

That is true uusue....

6:19 pm

uusue2

but for the nonce we want to be very conservative

6:21 pm

Jillyjill

<-------!!FW!!
