flosey

hi everyone, just back from bridge

1:16 am

jillibus

hi all -- me too

1:17 am

flosey

guess everyone finished early and left

1:17 am

jillibus

looks like it!

1:19 am

jillibus

I see Lickety's list is up.

1:19 am

flosey

yes, very helpful

1:26 am

jillibus

nbt - need a 7

1:26 am

Lizlin

Hi flosey and Jilli

1:26 am

Lizlin

ou 7

1:27 am

jillibus

ty Liz -- so flosey and I are not alone!

1:27 am

Lizlin

I've just come back - it's been very quiet. Kind of weird. Not like normal!

1:28 am

flosey

hi Liz, just took a break, am ready for bed

1:29 am

Lizlin

sleep well Flosey.

1:29 am

flosey

not leaving, just like to be ready

1:29 am

jillibus

gnight flosey

1:30 am

jillibus

ah I see -- in your PJs

1:31 am

Lizlin

leccy blanket on!!!!

1:31 am

flosey

yes, such a nice feeling, don't use one Liz, just cumfy covers

1:33 am

Lizlin

it's getting to summer here - lightweight duvet and sometimes just a sheet. Haven't used leccy blanket for years even in UK! But it sounded snuggly and warm!

1:35 am

flosey

we had them at home, before I was married, but I never felt comfortable with them

1:35 am

jillibus

ah, finally got that ou7 -- NBS

1:36 am

flosey

wtg jilli

1:36 am

jillibus

we had those blankets too, years ago -- don't remember where they went. I think duvets replaced them

1:38 am

flosey

yes, the duvets are so light yet warm

1:39 am

jillibus

cuddly too

1:39 am

flosey

yes

1:40 am

Lizlin

love duvets - feels strange without the weight in the summer

1:40 am

jillibus

phant -- stash

1:40 am

Lizlin

for me - logic

1:41 am

jillibus

yes, I see, Liz

1:41 am

Lizlin

finally got the ry 4

1:43 am

jillibus

that one is easy for me -- I'm a Great Dane pedigree nut and there was an English Champion called Ry** of Ouborough.

1:44 am

Lizlin

OK - lovely dogs - but just couldn't see it for looking!

1:45 am

jillibus

sticks in my memory

1:58 am

jillibus

over halfway

2:00 am

Lizlin

Go Jilli!

2:00 am

jillibus

haha liz!

2:00 am

Lizlin

All encouragement helps!

2:01 am

jillibus

true -- and how are YOU doing?

2:01 am

Lizlin

81 down - 55 to go! It takes me ages to find words! And I love words so that's weird!

2:02 am

Lizlin

I've just started using the list!

2:02 am

jillibus

we're almost the same -- I'm 83/53

2:02 am

flosey

96/40 here

2:03 am

jillibus

smart flosey

2:03 am

flosey

hubby picked up a few before heading off to bed

2:03 am

Lizlin

Good on you Flosey! I've got one more c to have chopped the c's!

2:03 am

jillibus

nice to have even one and a half heads

2:04 am

Lizlin

Mine helps sometimes but reckons I find the easy ones before I ask him!

2:05 am

jillibus

hmmm, I see I shuld be in the PB for mentioning what Lickety provides

2:06 am

Lizlin

oops! I hadn't even seen that word! Sorry!!!!!

2:07 am

Lizlin

I know what the PB is but no one's ever really explained how it works!

2:09 am

jillibus

if you post a grid word in the chat log you are banished to the PB, but there are usually goodies there. All very silly.

2:09 am

Lizlin

So banished as in no chat or what?

2:09 am

jillibus

Doesn't stopyou from playing or chatting or anything, really.

2:10 am

Lizlin

oops! Transgressed again!!!! Must be getting word tired!

2:10 am

jillibus

Just silliness to make the perp feel guilty-ish.

2:10 am

Lizlin

Virtual punishment!

2:10 am

Lizlin

But the goodies are fun!

2:11 am

jillibus

And greetings to the fellow PB inmate -- I found a banana and milk there as my goodnight treat -- what's your dicovery?

2:12 am

Lizlin

83 /53 now - Twiglets - an English snack food! Sleep well ladies, you'll probably be gone before I'm back!

2:13 am

jillibus

Ah -- used to be able to get Twiglets here -- guess they're all in the PB now

2:13 am

jillibus

88/48 here

2:14 am

Lizlin

Thankfully one of the local supermarkets has them - I adore them and am a real marmite fan! Can you get marmite in Canada?

2:15 am

Lizlin

If I couldn't get marmite, I'd have friends sending it to me!

2:15 am

flosey

yes Liz, we can, but I don't care for it

2:15 am

jillibus

We can get Marmaite and Vegemite here in British Columbia but I was not brought up on them and you can keep 'em.

2:15 am

Lizlin

The English adverts say you either love it or hate it! I'll eat Vegemite if pushed!

2:16 am

jillibus

I detest them both, sorry!

2:16 am

Lizlin

lol!

2:17 am

o-o

vegemite and grits make a good aggregate to fix potholes

2:17 am

jillibus

I fell asleep early last night, missed the flip, but oh well.

5:35 am

lynxxx

Don't like the flip actually, too frantic for me. rather do a leisurely grid

5:35 am

rbud

lynxxx

I love Cairns...have you been to the Botanic Gardens up there?

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

8:23 am

uusue2

oh, I did NOT want him coming home tonight.

8:24 am

uusue2

right, and he did a bowel prep before surgery, but they still have to fix it.

here we have a arbouredum where people can plant flowers and trees in honor of loved ones and have picnics etc.it is a thing of beauty but up till the 50,s it was actually our town dump from the 1840,s till 1951 then it sat till the 70,s and a bunch of people got together and cleaned it all up and made it a stunning green space for all to share.i looked on the plaques on site found a phone number and called the lady who originally spearheaded the operation and got ahold of her first time.she was in her late 80,s and actually went blind in the mid 70,s and never saw the finished product of what she worked so hard to acomplish,so i thanked her ,then spent half an hour describing it to her,all the trees,and wildlife,and streams and fointains..was nice

indeed, BR. The ostomy nurse is spending a lot of time with him (one advantage of a small town, I think, she's not overwhelmed), and we have a couple of friends with ostomies too so he is getting the user perspective as well.

MollyL

I hope you get that place. It's very Christmasy to have a wood burning fireplace.

1:45 pm

cosdem

agreed. also checking mobile home next to ryan's store but it looks seedy

1:45 pm

MollyL

You should get a battery operated smoke detector and deduct the cost from your rent.

1:45 pm

cosdem

Now I have Hermans Hermits in my head. â™ªMrs. Soodle you have such a dutiful daughterâ™«

3:08 pm

Soodle

Before I went on holiday, Son of Soodle presented me with a Kindle!! What an incredible device!! Twas the difference between insanity and....... Emmm worse insanity!

3:09 pm

hego

best thing you can take on a trip.

3:09 pm

MollyL

Son of Soodle is good to his Ma.

3:09 pm

hego

Better than a man, even!

Eclectic is how I choose to describe my literary tastes!!

hego

3:19 pm

Soodle

Rofl Molls!'n

3:21 pm

MollyL

Now that you mention it, Cider House Rules is kind of Dickensian.

3:22 pm

Soodle

Usually, when on holiday, I read about a book a day. I read, hop in for a swim, get out of the pool & dribble all over the current book. This year, no books were harmed on my holidays!!!

3:23 pm

MollyL

No Cabana boys to dry you off and wrap you in a soft, terrycloth robe?

3:24 pm

Soodle

And if you look at any Irving book, you'll see Dickensian similarities..... Irving remains the only author to make me laugh out loud!

3:26 pm

Soodle

Not even one cabana boy! There was one taxi driver though...........

3:27 pm

MollyL

And did he "take you to your destination"?

3:30 pm

TraderKate

li must dash, probably won't be back until thursday, happy babbling!

3:30 pm

Good God!! A policeman wouln't ask me that!!!! Kiss nTell is not my style.... (unless I'm getting paid for it, of course)

Soodle

Bye Kate. :-)

MollyL

Oh yeah. I forgot you like to maintain that chaste, demure image here. *Cough* So I'm sure you two enjoyed attending church services together. *Cough*

3:40 pm

MimiCat

Too bad there's not a "T" where the "E" is---we could be talking about your vacation!!!

3:42 pm

MimiCat

You know why God created whiskey, Soodle? So the Irish wouldn't take over the world. I'll drink to that!

3:45 pm

Soodle

Golly, Mimi!! Please allow me to introduce you to your 'separated at birth twin' MollyL...Molly, meet Mimi....

I know Jilly, I've thought the same thing

the surgeon was astonished, neither he nor the pathologist had ever seen anything like it

5:11 pm

Jillyjill

It's one of those things one does not want...to be unique here is not fun...(((hugs))) to you both. But the good news is that he is on the road to treatment and healing!

5:14 pm

uusue2

yes, the surgeon seemed quite optimistic. We are rather shell-shocked at the moment.

5:15 pm

Can only imagine...had one cancer scare 27 years ago...but thankfully my lung tumor was not cancerous...you both have my heart uusue..

Jilly, you don't even WANT to know what I'm going through with Social Security. Security? That's a laugh.

5:47 pm

MimiCat

Sue, will keep a positive thought for you and Frank. Lots of good energy coming your way.

5:48 pm

smores

Hi Mimi :)

5:48 pm

MimiCat

Hey there, smores!

5:48 pm

smores

hope no one got your SS #

5:49 pm

smores

5:49 pm

MimiCat

It just takes FOREVER to get approved now. It takes them 4-6 months just to get around to processing the application. This is my THIRD application. I now have a SS lawyer. Also my US Senator, John McCain, is looking into it for me. Hey, couldn't hurt, right?

5:50 pm

smores

wow Mimi, I had no idea it took that long for benefits

5:51 pm

uusue2

thanks smores and mimi - I am in and out here -

5:51 pm

smores

I thought you were dealing with idenity theft

5:51 pm

MimiCat

The first SS doctor they had me see didn't even take my blood pressure----and I'd had a heart attack! It's just awful and debilitating to have this go on and on. I'm a strong woman but am reaching my limit quickly. No....no one would WANT my identity!

5:52 pm

smores

Hi uu - I thought you had left

5:52 pm

uusue2

i've heard that it goes pretty quickly once you have a lawyer, mimi

5:53 pm

smores

Hang in there Sue, you guys are going to get through this

5:53 pm

uusue2

I went to grab some food, smores, but I am back

5:53 pm

uusue2

I know we are, smores, but why do we have to??? *stamps foot*

5:54 pm

MimiCat

Not so far but we'll see. It's awful to be old, sick and poor. Also, now that my looks are gone I have to settle for being colorful. Sue, I ask myself those questions every day.......

5:54 pm

smores

That is terrible mimi, hopefully the laywer will speed things up

5:55 pm

uusue2

looks are overrated, mimi, they always go. you can stay colorful forever, though

5:55 pm

smores

:( so sorry sue, wish I knew the answer

5:55 pm

MimiCat

Sue, my best friend of 43 years says we must be paying for being serial killers in a past life!

5:56 pm

MimiCat

Wish I lived closer to you guys---we'd get together for a group hug and lots of alcohol.

5:56 pm

smores

wow Mimi, just wow :)

5:56 pm

smores

lol...

5:57 pm

MimiCat

Smores, I'm actually considering moving back to the Cincinnati area so I might be close to you one day!

5:57 pm

smores

where do you live now Mimi?

5:59 pm

smores

FW!!! last word ha5/20

5:59 pm

MimiCat

Phoenix. A desert both in topography and politics. Stayed here for my kids for 30 years but as they get older I like them less and less so could move away and see them twice a year and be good to go! Kinda want to stay for the grandkids now...just aged 1-1/2 and 2 weeks. Want to spoil them rotten, turn 'em totally against their parents and send 'em home!

6:00 pm

smores

LOL Mimi

6:00 pm

uusue2

cute, mimi :-)

6:00 pm

smores

Payback huh?

6:01 pm

MimiCat

You bet, smores! I'll also never live long enough to get really good at this game!

6:01 pm

smores

your grandkids are only a few days apart?

6:02 pm

MimiCat

No, they are 1-1/2 yrs. and 2 weeks----brothers. First one was born last year on St. Patrick's Day and the new one was born two days before Halloween last month. The older one already has MY personality, so look out world!

6:02 pm

uusue2

I'm guessing 1 1/2 years and 2 weeks, smores

6:02 pm

uusue2

snap, mimi!:-)

6:02 pm

smores

oh, I'm misreading that, you mean a year and half and 2 weeks right?

6:03 pm

smores

lol we were all typing at the same time I guess

6:04 pm

MimiCat

I had my kids in my 30's so they are only 26, nearly 28 and 31 years old even though I am 61. Don't know if they kept me young or aged me prematurely.

6:04 pm

smores

You gotta live long enough to buy them a drum set

6:05 pm

uusue2

ha, mimi, I am also 61 and my son is 22. so there :-)

6:05 pm

MimiCat

I like the way you think, smores! My job now is not saying no but saying "yes, and don't tell your parents!"

6:05 pm

smores

I also waited until my 30's - just turned 50 this year - 2 teenage girls

6:05 pm

MimiCat

Well, aren't we the spry and smart group? We had a lot of living to do first, right?

6:06 pm

smores

most definately

6:06 pm

uusue2

yes, I waited until I had tenure :-)

6:06 pm

smores

lol uu

6:06 pm

MimiCat

What month is your birthday, Sue? Tenure--lol. I wanted to raise myself first.

6:07 pm

uusue2

may

6:07 pm

MimiCat

I just hope I live long enough to become smart again in my children's eyes. May? My birthday is May 14--whoa, this is getting scary!

6:07 pm

uusue2

may 25, you are older than I am :-)

6:08 pm

MimiCat

Hey, feel like I'm older than dirt these days! Still want to go back to singing in a classic rock band, though. Quit 3 years ago. Tina Turner, look out!

6:08 pm

smores

lol...wondering for a second if you found your lost twin

6:09 pm

MimiCat

We won't leave you out, smores! You're the baby mascot!

6:20 pm

uusue2

thanks, liz, we do have a lot of confidence in the doctors

6:21 pm

8:14 pm

jmcnrick

of which no one has posted any pics :-(

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

i sat through 10 pictures and none of them are posted

8:16 pm

MollyL

I think Peri said hers didn't turn out well. But I would guess someone got a few good ones.

8:16 pm

jmcnrick

oh too bad i think she had the only real camera

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

the guy checked them when he took them :-(

8:17 pm

MollyL

Sometimes people are reluctant to post pictures of themselves. With good reason.

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

well they all said they would post them. . . and i certainly don't mind

8:18 pm

MollyL

Some people are...um...slow...to get their pictures uploaded.

8:19 pm

jmcnrick

haha ah little molly sunshine!

8:19 pm

MollyL

And if people are not wanting their pictures posted here, you all should at least share them in email.

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

8:20 pm

MollyL

Hego said it was a good lunch.

jmcnrick

i could promise to drive sedately

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

8:22 pm

MollyL

I'm pretty much over the "internet privacy" thing. I have been shown what you can dig up on people and there is no such thing anymore.

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

no and i am about to give up and get a easy pass for the tolls. . .big brother is alive and well

8:24 pm

MollyL

It's creepy what you can find on people. Even by using their "gaming usernames".

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

yes you can find all the babble chogs with google. . .

8:25 pm

MollyL

Oh you can find more than that. Especially when people use their "game name" to identify themselves in other places.

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

well my email and game name and my name are so linked i gave up a long time ago

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

is there welsh in the grid?

8:27 pm

MollyL

I have a friend who used to do computer forensics for the police department. After what he has shown me, I know there is no such thing as "internet privacy".

8:27 pm

MollyL

No Welsh that I am aware of.

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

not much of any privacy any more

8:28 pm

MollyL

That's what your neighbors tell me. : P

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

oh i was hopeful that welsh explained why i can't find anymore words

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

the french priest or the stock broker?

8:28 pm

MollyL

Both

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

8:34 pm

torgone

Sure, but it's not the same as a waxed pig ..

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

8:35 pm

torgone

I guess the wax is more for looks ..

rururocks

jmcnrick

9:10 pm

rururocks

I just draw the line at rape, abortion, women's rights and the far right.

9:11 pm

torgone

It seems certain factions have made it so polarized that you just can't discuss such things in a civilized way any more ..

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

you know i actually felt a little sad (not enough to support him) for murdoch who was trying to express a deep felt belief really inartfully. . . one i disagree with whole heartedly. . .but that i can understand

Nef

Good Evening Everyone. How are you all tonight?

9:27 pm

MollyL

And I was just going to explain the princess thing. Just as well.

9:27 pm

MollyL

Hi Nef, Hi Jes.

9:27 pm

torgone

The famous St. Lo5/12 Bunny ..

9:27 pm

jesdraggon

well, nef, an yourself?

9:28 pm

Nef

Wh**s the princess thing, Molly?

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

i have not poofed. . . please explain

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

oh crap. PB as soon as I start chatting.

9:28 pm

Nef

hi jes. Doing okay (just very tired tonight)

9:28 pm

Nef

Hi Molly and jmc

9:29 pm

Nef

and torg

9:29 pm

MollyL

A comment that was made here that didn't go over well. Even though it was all in fun. JMC, think three word term, that ends in Princess.

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

ty jes. . .i did not see the bunny when i went to st lo5/12. . .

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

ah okay i will meditate on three word terms that end in princess

9:30 pm

MollyL

Stars with an ethnic word. *Strings JMC along*

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

there were 2 of them in a park downtown, somewhere around 10th and Washington, i think?

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

oh okay then i was just about to ask about ethnic issues

9:30 pm

MollyL

In the circles I travel in, that term is used in a joking manner.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

i think it is hyphenated

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

a common enough expression in DC and NYC. . . but perhaps not the best choice in a nationwide chog

9:32 pm

MollyL

Apparently not.

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

so I will make you a grand duchess instead. . .

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

there is always a work around

9:32 pm

MollyL

How is your hand, Nef?

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

haha all the yiddish i learned in houston shocked the socks off my friends in DC

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

okay then i be gone for good now. . .and still remembering nef's hubby on thursday

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, jmc

9:33 pm

Nef

very sore tonight Molly, kind of swollen; so guess I overdid it today.

9:36 pm

Nef

DH is having spine surgery on Nov 26th, jmc! (he may need some prayers on Thursday if he falls down (cuz I'll be mad at him) or something but I can't remember anything else

9:40 pm

MollyL

No more over doing it young lady. Be nice to yourself.
: )

9:41 pm

Somerset

hi all, looking for the two first st words ...thx

9:41 pm

MollyL

Everyone seems to be discombobulated about November dates. I can't tell you how many people have told me that they thought Thanksgiving was two weeks from Thursday instead of a week from Thursday.

9:41 pm

Nef

I know, Molly. I'm just so anxious to get through this week that I tried to do too much

9:43 pm

MollyL

st + stay on the str***ht and narrow and plural

9:44 pm

Nef

my new clinic manager is doing so well I'm thinking she may get done with orientation by Thanksgiving. Then I can cut back!

9:44 pm

MollyL

Nef, you tried to do too much? NO. : )
Maybe you can give it a rest tomorrow to make up for today.

9:44 pm

Somerset

many thanks!

9:45 pm

Nef

I will take it easy tomorrow, Molly. I get my allergy shot and always feel awful those days! ;-)

9:47 pm

MollyL

Well damn Nef, that is a harsh way to take it easy. Hope you can relax and rest your hand and your shot residuals.

9:48 pm

MollyL

<---Thinks it's a shame that shots that are "good for you" make you feel bad.

9:49 pm

Nef

I figure wh**ever works, right? Seriously, my new nurse is good enough I think I'll just be filling space instead of doing stuff tomorrow

9:50 pm

Nef

the shots are better than the alternative if I got stung, Molly

9:51 pm

MollyL

Understood Nef. It's just too bad that they give you an uncomfortable day.

9:53 pm

Nef

It's okay, it's only 1 day, Molly. That's tolerable.

9:55 pm

Nef

could I please have a clue for that bottom 4th row S on the right?

9:55 pm

MollyL

se + word that means pale

9:56 pm

MollyL

Plural of stitching.

9:57 pm

Nef

thanks, Molly! I figure If I get NBT and NBS, I'll go to bed. :-)

9:57 pm

MollyL

Good plan : )

9:59 pm

Nef

so that gave me the NBT, now looking for a 6 and a 7

10:00 pm

MollyL

For a 6 and a 7...combine sty animal with not in and plural.

10:01 pm

Nef

wow. I never even saw the sty animal til you said that! I AM tired I guess!

10:01 pm

MollyL

â™ªLullaby and good nightâ™« : )

10:02 pm

Nef

yep! Good night, and happy babbling to all! :-)

10:35 pm

MollyL

Hi Sue, how are you doing?

10:36 pm

uusue2

ok, Molly, we had several visitors this evening and that was good.

10:37 pm

Minveryork

Thank you so much MollyL! I try to to be negative, contrary to popular belief by hubby. Chog always makes me happy.

10:37 pm

MollyL

Glad to hear that your circle of good people is around you. You must be exhausted.

10:38 pm

uusue2

I am, molly.

10:38 pm

Minveryork

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

10:38 pm

cosdem

I concur with Molly.

10:38 pm

Minveryork

I am glad to hear you are still getting visitors. Wish I could.

10:38 pm

uusue2

I am ok, min. how are you?

10:38 pm

MollyL

I will continue to think only the best for Frank and for you. I hope you can get some rest tonight.

10:39 pm

Minveryork

Actually meant to say,I try NOT to be negative. Really,I do!

10:39 pm

uusue2

((((min)))) I would visit you if you weren't 800 miles away - and we still have a date for coffee the next time I visit my dad!

10:39 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly. Frank is disconnected from everything, so we should run less risk of being awakened by beeping (which took up about 25 minutes in the middle of last night)

10:41 pm

cosdem

Sue you live in IL right?

10:41 pm

uusue2

I do, cos

10:41 pm

cosdem

do you get to cook county often?

10:41 pm

MollyL

Sue are you staying at the hospital overnight?

10:41 pm

uusue2

in DeKalb, about 60 miles west of Chicago

10:42 pm

uusue2

I am, Molly, one of the chairs in the room makes into a single bed

10:42 pm

cosdem

I was thinking when we visit my parents in Oak Lawn maybe we could have a mini babble meet up

10:42 pm

o-o

You are in my thoughts, Minveryork.

10:42 pm

uusue2

cos, I haven't gotten anywhere lately, but we do get into Chicago every now and then

10:43 pm

uusue2

Oh, that would be fun, cos! Oak Lawn is on the south side, right?

10:43 pm

cosdem

yes 30 min drive from the loop

10:43 pm

cosdem

near midway airport.

10:44 pm

Minveryork

Thank you BabbleRabble!

10:44 pm

uusue2

looks like it's about an hour and 15 minutes from here, not bad at all

10:44 pm

MollyL

Well Sue, here is to no beeping and a good nights sleep for you and Frank. Maybe tomorrow night, you two will be in your own bed.

10:44 pm

uusue2

hear, hear, Molly!

10:44 pm

cosdem

ok will keep u informed as to when i go

10:45 pm

uusue2

that would be great! send me a message on Facebook.

10:45 pm

cosdem

10:46 pm

MollyL

Windy City meet up for Cos and Sue. More will be revealed. : )

10:47 pm

cosdem

Babble meet-up at North Halsted :)

10:47 pm

o-o

Sue, how is Frank doing with changing the bags?

10:48 pm

uusue2

he's emptied them a couple of times, BR, but hasn't changed one yet. The ostomy nurse said she'd arrange for home health nurses to help the first couple of times (it's on my list of things to make sure of before we leave)

10:53 pm

uusue2

way to shut down the chog....

10:54 pm

MollyL

Sue, I'm sure that both of you will get through all the stuff that seems difficult now. As you know, it's a one step at a time process.

10:54 pm

uusue2

Indeed. He is already sort of getting used to the ostomy (although it is clearly still an issue)

10:55 pm

MollyL

Hey, I say he can be as mad about that as he wants to. Some things are just not fair.

10:56 pm

Minveryork

Need to go to bed now,but I will be thinking of uusue2 and Frank and wishing them well as I go to sleep.Goodnight all

10:56 pm

uusue2

indeed they are not, and mad would be good. He has flashes of anger, and depression, and despair, and denial, and so forth.

10:56 pm

uusue2

Night, min!

10:57 pm

o-o

Be well, Min
