Christine she anounced that she "unfriended" me a long time ago on FB and I have no idea why -- aksed her and wh never replied. Now she quits if I show up, but at other times seems reasonably cordial. Bafflement.

12:13 am

Ah well, if someone feels that way, the trick is to just ignore them

2:49 am

Just1Mar

nice situation! Hope you're well

2:50 am

dart001

doing ok....bored sometimes...goo from fairly large city...to not so large....big change and most friends and relatives are elsewhere

2:51 am

Just1Mar

yeah I'm sure that must be hard but better weather esp in winter, no"

2:52 am

dart001

we had a warm winter last year (but so did minnesota).....did not miss the snow/cold one bit...but summers have been brutally hot and very dry (big drought for 2 yrs

2:53 am

dart001

we had 53 days last year and 34 this that were over 100F/38c

2:53 am

Just1Mar

I will granny

2:54 am

Just1Mar

wow that is hot! maybe we get two weeks of oppressive heat (and not in a row)

2:54 am

Just1Mar

wow that is hot! maybe we get two weeks of oppressive heat (and not in a row)

2:54 am

grannyrose

ah, thanx mar. i can keep other babblers in touch with your progress. sweetie, are you in much pain?

2:54 am

Just1Mar

but I'd rather be hot with no snow than cold with snow

2:55 am

dart001

my def of hot in MN was....85=pretty warm...90=hot...95=really hot...hardly ever got over 100

2:55 am

dart001

we had at least 3 days each year up to 111....and it wasn't a real dry heat like phoenix or vegas

2:55 am

Just1Mar

not really....I was in terrible pain but I've had radiation treatments that have helped me so much

2:56 am

Just1Mar

similar temps (Minn) to Mtl

2:57 am

Just1Mar

Well it was so nice to see you Granny and Dart....but I must go. Will certainly try to come back soon

2:57 am

dart001

remember you telling me about the huge snow piles in the winter....glad to hear that the treatment helped

2:57 am

Just1Mar

thx although last year was one of the warmest with little snow....strange

2:58 am

grannyrose

so fortunate, mar. sometimes radiation brings more discomfort than relief. for you, that is good news. yes?

2:59 am

grannyrose

okay, mar, please go with my prayers for you. rest easy, sweetheart.

2:59 am

dart001

great to see you again justy....take care and we will be pulling hard for you and your treatments

2:59 am

Just1Mar

it brought relief but on the third session this spring it burned my skin in the delicate area between neck a clavacle (sp)

3:00 am

Just1Mar

collar bone

3:00 am

Just1Mar

thanks for you wishes Dart and Granny...take care, be well and see you soon

3:01 am

dart001

bye just

3:02 am

grannyrose

my heart breaks with every diagnosis of cancer. it's such a non-discriminatory disease. i wish it could be just wiped out totally.

3:03 am

dart001

i agree....just1 used to play every night back when i started.....haven't seen her for a long time

3:04 am

dart001

she was still in my friends list...just happened to glance and saw she was on

3:08 am

grannyrose

so many brave people face that diagnosis everyday. and yet i am still here...no longer smoking it is tr4....but other people so much younger than i snatched in their prime...i can't understand it. by all rights, i should have carked it years ago.

3:10 am

dart001

i'm not how she got her cancer...but to me it is so sad to see young people nowadays smoke...it is so hard to quit and it is so bad for you and everyone nearby too....but all the young folks think it is cool...i know when i was dating it was a real turnoff to me, a deal-breaker basically

3:11 am

dart001

probably beacause my dad did until he was about 65...he quit then

3:13 am

grannyrose

:), yet in my younger days it was THE thing. nowadays, with all the information available to the young folk, why do they st5? i have 3 sons. 1 has never smoked, 1 has stopped completely, the other, the youngest, has at least stopped the manufactured cigarettes, and uses roll your owns.

3:15 am

dart001

anyone my parent age and slightly younger is off the hook...they didn'tknow how bad it was.....anyone my age knew and the people nowadays really know how bad it is.......we went to that "Bodies" exhibit that went around....they had a lung sliced open from non-smokers..right next to smokers...don't know how the smokers could breathe...it was gross..totally black and tarry

3:20 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i know what you mean. but you know what, dart? i had the "i'm invincible syndrome'. so prevalent among the teens and early 20-somethings. and being a nurse did not affect my reasoning at all. it was going to happen to someone else, not me.

3:21 am

dart001

i think that age group has that syndrome for everything...texting while driving...smoking....skateboarding....\nlots of dumb things that can really backfire...but not to them

3:21 am

grannyrose

nowadays, i just tell the youngsters how hard it is to stop. i cannot stop them from smoking, but i am certainly there to help them quit.

3:23 am

dart001

gal at club...said "I was texting while driving and blew a tire because I hit the curb"....i said..."what if someone was walking there...you might be in jail and they might be dead, could you live with that?"...she said"I'll probably keep on doing it.....don't get that reasoning

3:24 am

dart001

fw

3:26 am

grannyrose

neither do i, dart. over here, it is an on-the-spot fine and demerit points if you are caught texting while driving. as a matter of fact, if you must answer the mobile phone while driving, not only do you have to pull over, but the keys must be removed from the ignition.

3:26 am

grannyrose

WTG DART!!!! sans list?

3:27 am

dart001

it is a fine here too...doesn't stop the young ones....wish they would ban the phone too..that can be just as bad...they go ballistic over drunks killing people....and they have done studies that show phone-talkers are worse drivers than drunks!

3:27 am

dart001

yep..no list but a lot of morewords

3:28 am

grannyrose

well done, dart.

3:28 am

dart001

and almost 3.5 hrs ouch

3:28 am

grannyrose

perhaps the fines need to be larger?

3:29 am

grannyrose

or the penalties harsher? like loss of license?

3:29 am

dart001

i think if you kill or maim someone because you are on cellphone...they should throw you in jail...and publicize it so others see that it could happen to them too

3:30 am

grannyrose

so totally agree...surely it is akin to manslaughter?

3:30 am

dart001

wont stop them if it is just a fine

3:31 am

dart001

your first duty when you get behind the wheel is to drive...too many people put that about 3rd on the list behind phone etc

3:32 am

grannyrose

well, are our driving instructors behind the times, then? not making the impact they should.

3:33 am

dart001

i was hit by someone going about 50 mph from behind...don't know of he was doing anything like that(2000)...but he said he didn't see me...first he knew i was there is when he hit me and the airbag hit him in the face....if i hadn't seen him right before the accident....i might not be here now

3:34 am

grannyrose

good grief...and how old was this person?

3:34 am

dart001

i was making a left turn and the road was not straight...so he had to look somewhat just to keep the car on the road....don't know why he didn't see me though...totaled both cars

3:34 am

dart001

he was 21...in a brand new car

3:35 am

dart001

had it 2 weeks

3:35 am

lynxxx

Hello Rose & Da** and anyone else around

3:35 am

dart001

hey lynxx

3:36 am

grannyrose

*shaking head* i always taught my boys that everyone else on the road was an idiot, including their mother.

3:36 am

grannyrose

hey lyn

3:37 am

dart001

now i hate tail-gaters

3:37 am

PMS

et

3:38 am

grannyrose

point was made when one day i was driving. had pulled up at a red light, was waiting for green arrow to turn, when green arrow appeared, i first checked my right, then left, then rigt(reverse for yoyu) and a car came through on the red light. if i had moved off on the green arrow, probably wouldn't be here now.

3:39 am

dart001

we have the NASCAR syndrome here...everyone on the freeway likes to drive about one car-length behind the car in front, while they are going 65 mph...that way if something weird happens, we have 20 car pile-ups

3:39 am

dart001

running reds is bad here too

3:41 am

dart001

except on nascar track..all drivers are pros...cars are well maintained....you dont' have deer/racoons/skunks and other bad drivers doing weird things on the raodway

3:41 am

grannyrose

lol, so true. here we have a sticker which says..' stay away from me for 5 seconds'.

3:42 am

lynxxx

we have a lot of red light cameras here especially on notorious spots, I do think it has cut down on the red light running

3:42 am

dart001

they have talked about doing that here

3:42 am

lynxxx

red light camera? what is the proper term Rose?

3:44 am

dart001

almost 4am...gonna run...nite rose and lynxx

3:45 am

lynxxx

literally run? goodnight Dart

3:45 am

dart001

up the stairs lol

3:45 am

dart001

poooof

3:45 am

lynxxx

OK wasn't sure. Thought you might be a midnight jogger or something. Sleep tight

3:47 am

grannyrose

night, dart. sleep well, mate

3:48 am

grannyrose

red light camera is correct, lyn

3:48 am

rubyfoo

hello?

3:48 am

lynxxx

lol, it just seemed to wrong when I wrote it...its been a longish day

3:49 am

lynxxx

Helloooo

3:49 am

rubyfoo

yay, lynxx and rose are here!!!!!

3:49 am

grannyrose

same here, hun. have been up since 6:15am.

3:49 am

grannyrose

ooohhh. {{{{ruby}}}}

3:50 am

lynxxx

6.30 here. managed to have some lunch at 5.00pm. Now working on appetite to make some dinner for myself...don't think it is going to happen

3:50 am

grannyrose

had hydro this AM, then had DH into hospital for minor surgery.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I've been invited to a big family party in London in mid-December and am afraid to tell Burt. I've spoken to the housekeeper who would come in on the weekend to help out, but he will have a fit when I tell/ask him.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I really could use a trip

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I hope he is OK, Rose

3:51 am

rubyfoo

ease

3:51 am

lynxxx

he's OK?

3:51 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:51 am

rubyfoo

my Ruby got locked into the studio overnight and basically destroyed the door to the garden

3:52 am

lynxxx

Hope you can work something out Rose...we all know you could do with a break

3:52 am

rubyfoo

she'll probably never trust me again!

3:52 am

lynxxx

poor girl

3:53 am

grannyrose

it seems yours truly is a pretty good diagnostician. look-see by surgeon confirmed my diagnosis. he has burnt his oesophagus AND his vocal chords with gastric reflux. i hyave been on his case for years to increase his dose of medication .

3:54 am

lynxxx

had he cut down on his dose himself?

3:54 am

lynxxx

burnt? so it will self-repair though when he gets the gastric reflux under cntrol?

3:55 am

grannyrose

no, lyn. he never did inform the GP of his issiues, and hence did not have the meds increased as they should.

3:55 am

lynxxx

men - they are always silly little boys

3:56 am

grannyrose

i do so hope so, lyn. *shakes head* but then again i am only a nurse with 40 years experience. lol

3:57 am

rubyfoo

which medication does he take? Nexium? There is a new one here, OTC, made by Bayer, but it's less effective. I used to take Prevacid, but when it went off patent, it was no longer available.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

doorbell and dogs went crazy!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I didn't realize that esophagus could get burned

3:58 am

grannyrose

yes , ruby...or does now, lol. esomaprazole comes in 20mgs or 40mgs. he is now on 40 mgs.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

40 mg does the trick, 20, not so well

4:00 am

lynxxx

I didn't think I was going silly, dragged out my wool jumper and put the heater on tonight...its only 11o

4:02 am

rubyfoo

himself needs his apero. He's unusually cross this AM hahah

4:03 am

lynxxx

he's going to be crosser when you mention that you have received the invitation...then again he may become very sweet

4:04 am

grannyrose

go for it, ruby...give him a double.

4:06 am

lynxxx

aha incinerated widows

4:08 am

grannyrose

lyn, how are you going with the 8's and 9's? need a hand?

4:09 am

lynxxx

I am going very slowly (there is really 314 here!) but I need to wind down my head a bit and Babble is good for that

4:10 am

grannyrose

okay, hun. happy babbling. think i will turn in for the night.

4:11 am

tell frank i will have a crossy breakfast waiting for him

5:51 am

uusue2

will do :-)

5:51 am

rubyfoo

if they can add atavan to his chemo, he'll be less sick

5:52 am

rubyfoo

they don't usually suggest if, but it makes a big difference!

5:52 am

crosshair

i also got anti-nausea meds via i.v during chemo treatments

5:53 am

uusue2

we'll talk to them about that - chemo in 3 weeks probably, got to get through the surgery first

5:53 am

rubyfoo

my consulting doctor in Boston suggested it and I shopped it around until I found someone who would give it to me.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

my consulting doctor in Boston suggested it and I shopped it around until I found someone who would give it to me.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I had very strong chemo, but was never sick

5:53 am

crosshair

small bag of anti-nausea took 15 min,large bag og chemo(cisplatin) took 2-4 hours

5:53 am

crosshair

i was sick as a dog

5:54 am

uusue2

crossy, Frank likes wolves, and I found one for him - a picture of a snarling wolf and around it, it says "The doctors call it cancer - I call it a challenge!"

5:54 am

rubyfoo

the atavan did the trick for me; I just couldn't drink gin through the whole chemo thing.....

5:54 am

uusue2

I'm going to print one up and hang it in his hospital room

5:54 am

crosshair

being on universal health care,i did not have to shop it around,i just was offered it thank god

5:55 am

crosshair

very good suze! i like it! i am also a wolf person

5:55 am

uusue2

yes, I figured that out, crossy :-)

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I had to pay for mine, but it was worth it!

5:56 am

car.eeyore

Hi Crossy!

7:16 am

BzznBea

Morning, car.

my elegant lost her mum suddenly last month on the 25th

7:17 am

car.eeyore

Hi BzznBea!

7:18 am

crosshair

and her brother had a stroke and they found stage 3 lung cancer in him as well

7:18 am

crosshair

funny thing is,without the stroke the lung cancer would of remained unfound

7:18 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no! So sad. That was my parents' 54th anniversary, the first without my Dad. ((Elegant))

7:18 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no!

7:19 am

Scrabbler

So much to grasp!

7:19 am

crosshair

they found the cancer when he was getting tests in the stroke clinic

7:19 am

crosshair

it is a pile at once to be sure as now my elegant is suddenly the executor as her brother is now unable

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Sometimes diagnoses are made in surprising ways.

7:20 am

crosshair

indeed

7:21 am

crosshair

and now for crossy,s tidbit of the day!

7:21 am

Scrabbler

Send Elegant my love, peace and strength. Grief is so tough, especially early on. April + May were blurs for me, I was in a daze.

7:21 am

crosshair

In Paris, there are more dogs than there are children, and they seem to be treated with equal amounts of pampering. Collectively, Parisians spend nearly $500,000 every day on health and grooming for their pets.

7:21 am

Scrabbler

TY for that tidbit.

7:21 am

o-o

She can resign as executrix.

7:22 am

crosshair

indeed i will scrabs,she has not really had time to grieve yet with all the executor duites suddenly thrust upon her.i help as i can as like i said before i am her staff to lean on and she is my rock when i falter.we will endure

7:22 am

crosshair

she can,but there is no one else to take over

7:23 am

crosshair

her other brother has a brain injury from a car crash 20 years ago

7:23 am

o-o

The court can appoint someone

7:23 am

crosshair

i will help her through this

7:23 am

crosshair

yes they could,but may as well just hand the estate over in cheque form

7:23 am

Scrabbler

My father died Apr 4 so I quickly had to find tax info, do tax calculations, file an extension but still pay the taxes on time.

7:24 am

crosshair

that is on my list scrabbs tax info for 2011

7:24 am

car.eeyore

7:24 am

crosshair

and a final will have to be done in 2012

7:25 am

crosshair

for 2012*

7:25 am

Scrabbler

But I did extension for states taxes, thinking I also did federal, so I am in deep sh*t right now with mother and sister as we clean up the mess.

7:25 am

o-o

the executor is entitled to be paid

7:25 am

crosshair

first it has to go to probate

7:25 am

crosshair

and that is 2-5 months the lawyer tells me

7:26 am

Scrabbler

I filed state and federal Oct 3, prior to extension date, but I didn't do federal extension as I thought....

7:26 am

crosshair

the govt makes it tough indeed

7:26 am

crosshair

seems they also get 1.6% of the estate

7:26 am

o-o

When practiced I did many probates....

7:27 am

crosshair

it is a long wait here br

7:27 am

crosshair

though she has seen some come back in a little as 3 weeks

7:27 am

Scrabbler

So much extra work and worry

7:28 am

o-o

generally finished in under six months

7:29 am

crosshair

well even worse is whe her brother had the stroke he was executor,but then his wife got all signing athority over him during his illness,and that can include executor of the will,so there are a ton of forms fer her to send and sign

7:29 am

crosshair

notarila copies of poa etc

7:29 am

crosshair

notarial

7:30 am

crosshair

and on it goes

7:31 am

crosshair

she is basically living at the hospital with her husband and ov cannot do my wifes mothers estate as well

7:31 am

Scrabbler

How bad was his stroke?

7:31 am

o-o

all she has to do is use her authority to resign

7:31 am

crosshair

entire right side scrabbs,heavy facial drooping,monosylabic responses and almost no short term memory

7:32 am

crosshair

that is where we are now br

7:32 am

crosshair

it is second last on my to do list

7:32 am

crosshair

then the lawyer can ship it all off for probate

7:33 am

crosshair

investments to liquidate..sigh

7:33 am

crosshair

opened up an estate bank acct

7:33 am

crosshair

and all the while 3 sibling hover over it all like vultures watching our every move

7:34 am

crosshair

ok,enough of this

7:34 am

crosshair

time to find some words

7:35 am

Scrabbler

We are using it for storage right now but it is not being used otherwise. The set up of this house is very odd. It used to be a barn with a house directly in front of it. Then they added a middle room to connect the two and turned the whole thing into a house. The room that is not being used, my bedroom as a child, is the old hayloft of the barn. it is awesome in that it is open and big and has a toilet and sink. It is not being used as there is no HEAT to that upstairs and no air circulation in the summer. Also, the boys are still very young to be in the front part of the house, where there are 2 bedrooms, to be that far away from us at night.

7:56 am

2:05 pm

hi lynxxx and movie

2:05 pm

MollyL

I was told the other day, that enema is a Babblet because a Babblet is a word not used in everyday conversation. The only definition of Babblet I have ever seen is "words only seen in Babble".

2:05 pm

hego

hi lynn and MM

2:05 pm

Shallow One

au6 anyone? is it a babblet?

2:05 pm

hego

that person was obviously never a nurse. lol

2:05 pm

BzznBea

au+rank

2:06 pm

jmcnrick

goodness enema is not at all obscure!

2:06 pm

MollyL

Funny you should say that Hego because there was a nurse around at the time who said "I'm a nurse, and I don't use it in everyday conversation." I think of Babblets as words like inia, nene, etc.

2:06 pm

Shallow One

enema and an ancient egyptian unit of capacity is a bit of a difference in rareness of usage i'd say

2:06 pm

jmcnrick

and i would argue that altough i LOVE using zarf in conversation it is still a babblet

2:07 pm

Shallow One

pb, molly

2:07 pm

hego

takes all kinds to make Babble, Molly.

2:07 pm

crosshair

crossy si back! how the zarf is everyone? lol:))

2:07 pm

Shallow One

zarf?

2:07 pm

MollyL

Zarf = Babblet, yes. Enema = Babblet, not quite.

2:07 pm

hego

I agree Molly.

2:07 pm

cybernan

still don't see how letters of the hebrew alphabet can be part of an english dictionary! -- they are babblets as far as I am concerned

2:08 pm

MollyL

And you're right Hego. All kinds and then some.

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

i learned zarf in babble land . .. it has two definitions

2:08 pm

Hi Nan.

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

5:26 pm

Aloyisius

brb.. someone drank my R&C

5:26 pm

Riverdance

no - dried sawdust they make for solid fuel pellet stoves

5:26 pm

o-o

are cow pellets concealed weapons?

5:26 pm

Riverdance

I was doing a bit of head bobbing this afternoon

5:26 pm

jmbdobie2

good for cat litter too

5:27 pm

saanichcat

river - my neighbour says they are cheaper and more efficient than wood

5:27 pm

cosdem

never mind

5:27 pm

saanichcat

cleaner, too

5:27 pm

jmbdobie2

i don't have it cosdem

5:28 pm

cosdem

it ends with most of ending

5:29 pm

Riverdance

according to the fire institute I went to today, the are not crazy about them....have more problems with them compared to wood stoves....

5:29 pm

jmbdobie2

just past halfway (155 left) and I am leaving for now - might come back later.

5:30 pm

saanichcat

I used to have a Mama Bear and it was the best I ever had.

5:30 pm

Riverdance

if you lose power you lose your stove....as it needs to run with a fan...pellets break down with humidity and just movement of them.....the dust caused by the breakdown will clog your stove and it will not run efficiently and may eventually cause a fire. It need special venting that a wood stove does not need

5:31 pm

Riverdance

I knew nothing about them until I went to the seminar...I have a wood stove and love it....after hearing what I heard today, I will never have a pellet stove..

5:32 pm

saanichcat

ooohhhh.....river, that is very interesting and thank you. I was actually contemplating one upstairs but no longer. Thanks for the info - greatly appreciated. See, that seminar turned out well for me, anyway!

5:33 pm

Riverdance

its more because a lot of folks improperly vent them...they need air flow to work properly...and all pellets dont necessarily will work in the stove your purchase. We saw a couple stoves today that caused fires...it was scary!

5:34 pm

Aloyisius

we had a wood stove for many years, burned discarded pallets for heat.. only problem = air pollution from the chimney

5:34 pm

Riverdance

they also showed us some real red-neck set ups for chimneys...although comical it was sad how folks take the chances they do

5:35 pm

MollyL

It's unfortunate how many people buy things and then don't learn how to use them properly. The result? Labels like the one on powdered infant formula that say: Add water before feeding.

5:35 pm

cosdem

the 2nd ta5please

5:35 pm

Aloyisius

Riteway woodstove..

5:35 pm

Riverdance

we burn pallets for sugaring but not in the wood stove. We have an iron arch with an evaporator for making maple syrup....that can handle the pallets just fine but we wouldn't think of using them in our wood stove...be careful Aloy!

5:36 pm

Aloyisius

what you get in the sun plus "** be or not to be"

5:36 pm

cosdem

thanks aloy that finishes the Ts

5:36 pm

Riverdance

thanks for that T Aloy

5:37 pm

Aloyisius

wood stove is gone now, River.. we had to buy a new furnace and needed to remove it; btw, we did have two scary chimney fires!

5:38 pm

Aloyisius

and.. your comment on sugaring made me laugh.. we tapped our trees and made the syrup in the kitchen, ergo stripping the wallpaper and making one holy mess on the ceiling!

5:38 pm

Riverdance

We clean our chimney every year from top to bottom....lots of creosote builds up with a stove....and make sure you burn the stove right so it doesnt just smoke and smolder....we have been lucky so are...25 years and the chimney is still fine

5:39 pm

Riverdance

snort

5:39 pm

Riverdance

we ruined a stove that way be boiling over...never again

5:39 pm

uusue2

Hi all, update in my profile and on Facebook

5:40 pm

Riverdance

we get to almost syrup in our sugar shack and then cook it to the right temp on a propane set up....when it is ready we then bring it in to keep at temp and bottle

5:40 pm

Riverdance

Sue how are you and how did the surgery go?

5:40 pm

Riverdance

Will look

5:41 pm

MollyL

Thanks for the update Sue. I'm sorry you have to wait for more results. I'm very glad that you didn't wait any longer to get this treated.

5:42 pm

Make sure you get some rest too, Sue.

5:44 pm

Uneaixoise

all best wishes, Sue -- appreciate the update . . .

5:44 pm

Aloyisius

read your post, usue.. keep the faith, both of you.. my sister went through a similar situation, transverse colon.. not pleasant, but now she is back at work and traveling the world and counting her blessings.. keep the faith.. was it transverse, ascending or descending?

5:45 pm

saanichcat

big hugs uusue..

5:45 pm

uusue2

I will, Molly. Aloy, descending, I think, but some small intestine was caught in it too.

5:47 pm

crosshair

i would advise against pellet stoves .the auger that feeds the pellets from the hopper to the stove needs power of course and is noisy.the pellets break down over time and they burn much like burning scrap softwood in your fireplace in that they build up immense amounts of creosote that you must be on top of at all times.they are more suited to a commercial or work shop atmosphere where it is a suplimentary source of heat where power loss is not expected and noise is not an issue and not in a livingroom as an emergency heat source during power failures.imho,you would be better off with a free standing napoleon stove with a 2 foot firebox and a thermal steel heat sink stove fan for emergency heat

5:47 pm

MollyL

Sue, where is your son? Is he able to help you out through all this?

5:48 pm

uusue2

He's taking care of the animals, Molly, and will be here a little later.

5:49 pm

uusue2

He's been stopping by the house to talk to a frank all week too.

5:49 pm

MollyL

That's great. I wasn't sure if he was still in the area or not.

5:50 pm

uusue2

He's been quite helpful. And is a very sweet kid - you can ask Scrabbler, who's met him :-)

5:52 pm

MollyL

I'm sure he is, and I will take Mom's word for it. : )

5:53 pm

Ok, I am going to find some food. See you all later, and again, thank you all so much for being here.

I can't stick around for long, I've got a shopping list to do after some sleep, plus doing the shopping.

9:31 pm

MollyL

Okay, but no sleeping while shopping.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Molly - it did just get better. (Sort of.)

9:33 pm

Jacula

I couldn't possibly sleep whilst shoipping, since I have to keep an eye on where the Other Half is wandering off to with the trolley (shopping cart). I keep threatening to buy one of those toddler handcuff things for him, and I will do if he doesn't stop his wanderings. Can't even ring his cell to see where he's got to in some supermarkets, since many of them have no signal.

9:35 pm

MollyL

At least he's not heaving this, that and the other expensive thing in your cart.

9:35 pm

Jacula

Is he not? No, since he's paying for it. lol

9:36 pm

Jacula

I just don't like being marooned mid-shop with my arms full of stuff to put into the cart when he's wandered off with it.

9:37 pm

MollyL

You need to cuff him then. : )

9:37 pm

Jacula

I do!

9:38 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed now, Molly. Will leave you to clue, if anyone needs it. x

9:40 pm

MollyL

Bye Jac

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

how goes it, stid? Lucky enjoying the snow?

9:58 pm

stidmama

no snow on this side of the mountains! :-) but COLD. down to the 20s F tonight.

9:59 pm

stidmama

I am not looking forward to snow, will increase my drive times by rather a lot. WHEN I can get out the driveway.

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

heh. been snowing here all day--puny snow with almost no accumulation, but snow nonetheless

9:59 pm

stidmama

yes, the forecasters were taking great delight talking about your impending start of winter weather.

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

heh

10:01 pm

stidmama

I had such a lovely day, though it was cold it was sunny and dry, and the kids (4th grade) got to be outside every recess

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

excellent :)

10:02 pm

stidmama

yep. hard to argue with sunshine. :-)

10:02 pm

stidmama

how's the clinic going? getting things sorted to a dull roar most days?

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

heh. most days, things go wel

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

well

10:04 pm

stidmama

good to hear. and the amazing bruce?

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

he's well. went to a doctor for chronic headaches this week, and got new drugs.

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

today was his first day on the new meds and he seems happy with it - only needed to touch up with ibuprofen once, and he's been alternating ibuprofen and tylenol every 6 hours for months.

10:07 pm

stidmama

oh, I hope he gets permanent relief! Headaches suck. I was so glad when I figured out the trigger that was giving me daily migraines last year...

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

have you heard how uusue's frank is doing?

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

i am happy they didn't find a tumor or something evil causing his headaches!

10:09 pm

stidmama

me too -- tumors are so scary.

10:10 pm

stidmama

Last I heard Frank was out of surgery and back in his room.

10:10 pm

Bugsaw

stid I am sorry to hear that your "dear Hetty" (you always called her that" has passed. Both you and Jilli spoke so well of her and it is clear from her obit that you were good judges of character. If I remember rightly, you saw her this summer didn't you?

10:15 pm

stidmama

Yes, we were able to visit with her on our way to your place. I am so glad we saw her!

10:16 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
