1:50 am
grannyrose
hey jilli, glad to see you back with us. sleep well, hun
1:50 am
flosey
I am in the same boat. I am now on my 3rd compromised Master Card in less than a month. Fortunately all expenses were covered by Master Card -$6000 on the first. I have used the latest one very infrequently so I think I may be able to track who on SSI has a problem with their equipment. I find it more annoying than frightening since Master Card is alert enough to contact us.
1:51 am
jillibus
Thanks -- more on that another time, flosey.
1:51 am

this is quote from her

I didn't have any expenses charged to me these last times.

It also has great vision - found the side mirrors much better than the toyota I tried
6:30 am
smores
I'm so sorry :(
6:31 am
Anniebrook
I am looking at a 3 year lease at 195.00 a month
6:31 am
crosshair
collision only adds 68 dollars a year to my insurance,so i just keep it on
6:32 am
Anniebrook
collision here is very very expensive
6:32 am
crosshair
nice inexpensive lease,as long as they are not too nitpicky when it comes time to turn it in
6:32 am
Lizlin
Hope you weren't in your car when it was totalled!
6:32 am
Anniebrook
I will ask about that, crossy
6:33 am
Anniebrook
Liz, my car was totaled because of the water surge during Hurricane Sandy
6:33 am
crosshair
our leases are notorious for every little mark and smudge.most just buy them out at the end
6:33 am
Lizlin
Ah! The Sandy reference. Silly me not picking that up!
6:34 am
Anniebrook
I might do that, will think of buying the car at the end but right now I am very excited about having a new car.
6:34 am
smores
was it garaged?
6:34 am
Anniebrook
No, it was in an open parking lot. The lot was like a sea.
6:34 am
Lizlin
It's great having a new car. The Jazz was new when we moved here - the first and most likely only new car we'll ever have!
6:35 am
Lizlin
Saw film last year of the floods in Brisbane washing cars away!
6:35 am
smores
wow, again, so sorry
6:35 am
Lizlin
Nothing to compare with Sandy though!
6:36 am
crosshair
i bought my toyota echo new in 2004 all cash from cigarette money and am still driving it.it will be 9 years old next april and is bulletproof it is so reliable
6:37 am
Lizlin
It's great when you find a car that you love and can rely on.
6:37 am
Anniebrook
crossy, just shows how much money we spent on cigarettes.
6:37 am
crosshair
it is indeed liz
6:37 am
smores
But congrats on getting a new car, just sorry it's under such bad circumstances
6:37 am
Anniebrook
December 7th will be 28 years I have stopped smoking.
6:37 am
Anniebrook
thanks, smores
6:37 am
Lizlin
That's awesome!
6:37 am
crosshair
yup wife and i saved 2 years and it was $12,160.00 was 100 off the sticker price of the new car
6:38 am
smores
<-----my last bad habit :(
6:38 am
crosshair
that was when smokes were 7.50 a pack.they are now 11-12 here
6:38 am
Anniebrook
cigarettes were about $1.50 a pack when I stopped. They around 11.00 a pack now, hard to believe
6:39 am
crosshair
indeed annie
6:39 am
crosshair
about 15 grand a year for 2 people
6:39 am
smores
wow they $5 a pack here
6:39 am
Anniebrook
expensive and dangerous habit
6:39 am
Lizlin
Great if you're that disciplined about saving the ciggy money!
6:40 am
smores
they were 7.50 back on '04 eek
6:40 am
crosshair
had a big jar in the living room liz.every day the mrs and i put the price of a pack of smokes into it and 2 years to the day i spent an afternoon rolling all the coin
6:41 am
crosshair
indeed smores
6:41 am
Lizlin
That's great - watching the money grow!
6:42 am
crosshair
and thats not counting one bic lighter each a month at 1.50 per so thats 48 lighters in 2 years
6:42 am
Lizlin
Some incentive!
6:43 am
Lizlin
However, I guess that the health incentive you wrote about a few weeks ago was probably greater!
6:44 am
crosshair
my mrs has now lost both her mum and dad directly due to cigarettes
6:45 am
Lizlin
Has anyone got any clues for the 2nd qu 5 and qu 6? That's after the word to do with paper size.

7:24 am

I saw an ad for Dolce and Gabbana that looked like soft porn to me.
7:24 am
Anniebrook
All these good recommendations for the Honda, so a Honda Civic it will be.
7:25 am
MimiCat
The sexy ads kind of backfire on some of us who are older because they annoy us, right? Not exactly relevant to my life these days.
7:25 am
car.eeyore
OH, don't get me started on THOSE type of ads!
7:25 am

Mom, I thought my car was old. It was a Taurus '99. So a '96 Honda is still running, great.

I bought one new in the early 80's and still sold it for $1500 5 years later.
7:27 am
crosshair
i bought my toyota out at the end of the lease.my theory has always been as long as the monthly upkeep and repairs never excedd the original monthly lease payment,then you are good to go,but once they start exceeding a monthly lease payment it is time to retire the car
7:28 am
Anniebrook
wow, pcal
7:29 am
MimiCat
Every time my Jag broke down, each tow truck driver told me I should get a Honda!
7:29 am
crosshair
of course in almost 9 years,i have done the brakes once.changed a tail light buld and it is the third set of tires,so it has never exceeded a lease payment
7:29 am

pretty good, Vic! Working very hard in therapy and it is taxing, but finally I get something out of it. So that is good :)
8:05 am
hurshy
physical therapy or mental, sprite?
8:05 am
Vicuna
Good. Most things give back in relation to how much you put into them.
8:06 am
sprite
mental, hursh. And including living with my physical handicaps.
8:06 am
hurshy
yeah i likes my therapy too
8:07 am
sprite
true, Vic. I have been putting a lot into it for years on end, though, without getting much further. Finally found the right form for the therapy.
8:08 am
sprite
I won't say I _like_ my therapy. I hate going and I often am almost a zombie when I go home. But it works. That makes it worth everything.
8:08 am

omg I found the 10 right away. Never happened before.

Parenting helper?
8:28 am

yeah, not sure how to call it. We have this service here. When you have trouble with how to be a good parent for your kids, you can get advice. Today we go with our son, trying to sort out how to handle our wayward teenagere.
8:29 am
smores
cool, hope it helps :)
8:29 am

is your son looking at it as a positive thing or are you dragging him kicking and screaming
8:30 am

lol so do I! It is our 2nd apptm, the first already gave us some tools. And I am very happy our son agreed to come too, without problems. That makes things a lot easier and gives us hope.
8:31 am

I thought I had to coerce him. But I told him we would like him to come and he just said: "Ok, cool."

sptire.we used such a service here for a year or 2 and it proved invaluable for both our son and us
8:31 am
sprite
I was flabbergasted... but in a very positive way, grin.
8:31 am
sprite
thanks, crossy. That is so good to hear. I am so glad we are not the only parents who sometimes feel like we have to do a job that nobody every taught us to do.
8:32 am
Judi
lol, sprite. Your teen was probably thinking the parenting helper was going to tell YOU all the things you were doing wrong.
8:32 am
smores
That's great, that sounds like he wants things to improve as well. You will all get through this :)
8:32 am
mael
good luck, sprite!
8:32 am
uusue2
Wow, I wish we'd had something like that here! Good for you, sprite!
8:32 am
crosshair
well,when you have a child with develpmental delays as well,it can be a good idea to get views from people who are outside the tornado of it all with fresh new ideas and tools to help everyone succeed
8:33 am
crosshair
we were glad it was available
8:33 am
smores
LOL....you are definately not alone sprite...none of them came with a manual.
8:34 am
sprite
Judi: and he is probably right! She wants us to be stricter, grin. But on the other hand, she wants us to give him rewards... seems teenagers can be truly motivated by earning ... what is the word... you know, special things.
8:34 am
crosshair
yes,they need structure as well as a carrot
8:35 am
sprite
our kids are pretty normal, as far as normal is anything definable anyway. But this teenager time is tough, and Tim started to run away from home, be physically agressive and was ignoring it when we said he couldn't go out. So we had to do something.
8:35 am
Judi
I commend you for working to make everyone's lives easier, sprite. Not having children, I can't really relate. But, working at a police station, I have seen plenty of majorly disfunctional families. Sometimes I think parenting classes should be optional at certain milestone ages in a child's life.
8:36 am
crosshair
you will be glad you did this sprite.good move indeed
8:38 am
uusue2
(((sprite))) parenting is not easy!!
8:38 am
Judi
I think it would be fun if you all donned sumo suits, jumped in a moon bounce and body slammed out all of your frustrations.
8:39 am
sprite
Judi, in all honesty, I think those classes should be obligatory. Some very simple things can make such a difference. For instance: as a parent you try to be patient and calm, you don't get mad at first, second, third... you really try to understand... you get madder... until it blows up.
And then someone tells you: Be stricter, and do it long before you start to get mad.
Mannnn of course... why didn't I realise sooner?
8:39 am
smores
I agree Judi, there are a lot of classes and services available here for newborns - but not much for when they get all hormonal, defiante, and sometimes unrecognizable....hard headed, stubborn, know-it-alls...lazy, sleep all the time, pod people....
8:39 am
smores
LOL...I could got on...
8:40 am
uusue2
off to get some breakfast, bbs
8:40 am
crosshair
lol @ pod people
8:41 am
sprite
they call it "Center Young" here. They do everything from newborns to adolescents. Courses, .... what is that word... where you can simply make an apptm and go for advice, like a doctor?... and they even have help when things are really bad, though they have to bring in outside specialists then as well.
8:41 am
smores
yes, pod people..."Help...al6 stole my daughter"
8:41 am
Judi
I believe they call it "counseling" here.
8:42 am
sprite
LOLOL! Yes, pod people. Who is this arrogant, moody, angry monster that took the place of my kid?
8:42 am
Judi
There are varying degrees of counseling, of course. Verbal and behavioral modification all the way on up to boot camp!
8:42 am
sprite
ah exactly, counseling. That is it. Sorry, I have had a bad 2 days and my head refuses to come up with the english words I need.
8:43 am
sprite
you got it, Judi. That is it. We are in the verbal and behaviour stage.
8:44 am
smores
I actually took my daughter by the shoulders before, got right in her face,shook her and said "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAUGHTER"
8:44 am
Judi
S'okay, sprite. Pod people can have that affect on you.
8:44 am
sprite
roflol smores! Did it work? *taking notes here*
8:45 am
sprite
*grin* ain't that the truth, Judi :)
8:45 am
smores
not immediately, but yes it did help
8:46 am
Judi
Off to an appointment. Catch you kids later! *POOF*
8:46 am
sprite
my inner mantra is: only one thing is harder than being a parent to a teenager... and that is being a teenager.
8:46 am
sprite
bye Judi! Have a good one.
8:47 am
smores
Of course she had never seen the movie so she just thought I was nuts when I called her a pod person. We both laugh about it now :)
8:48 am
smores
yes sprite that is soo true.

9:08 am
crosshair
kk oi 8 is the act of being slippery with car lubrication
9:09 am
crosshair
sl 8 is not moving very fast
9:09 am
crosshair
wi8= being crafty or sneaky
9:09 am

9:13 am
crosshair

9:14 am
Scrabbler
Wildlife need to look both ways before crossing the road.
9:15 am
crosshair
we need to stop puttin asphalt paths through their land and blasting along it at 80 mph
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
yes, and not jaywalk by crossing where there are no signs. i tell you , that doe has some sore knees today
9:15 am
Scrabbler
Yes, the wildlife is impacted by us taking their land away.
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
if the road has been there since the time of George Washington i think THEY need to move
9:16 am
crosshair
deer were there before ole george
9:16 am
72 Temple Owl
yes crossy, of course you are correct
9:16 am
72 Temple Owl
timne to go
9:17 am
crosshair
wonder how george ate deer steaks with wooden teeth?
9:17 am
Scrabbler
Very slowly and carefully
9:18 am

9:18 am
72 Temple Owl

9:18 am
crosshair
everyone better slow it down at this time of year there
9:19 am
crosshair
we have a road here that bisect a natural deer crossing to a water source so we just slow it down 20 k till the season is done
9:19 am
crosshair

9:20 am
Scrabbler
Yep, I go sl4. And I have deer whistles on my car.
9:20 am
crosshair

9:20 am
crosshair

9:21 am
Scrabbler
Moose blowers? I have to look those up. No moose here...yet...but they are in the Adirondack Mtns and I go there twice every summer.
9:21 am
crosshair

9:21 am
LisaG

9:22 am
crosshair
my god father hit a moose and he was lucky to walk away with his life,the pick up truck was totally destroyed even though it never went off the road at all
9:23 am
crosshair
they had to cut him out of the truck
9:23 am

Just windy here, my head cold is better...got an early day...life is pretty good..
3:17 pm
stidmama
bye lynxxx
3:17 pm
stidmama
glad the cold is better. I got a terrible attack of allergies at the convention (not unexpected) and feel like I am recovering from a cold, but it's not bad today.
3:18 pm
smores
so other than allergies how was your trip?
3:20 pm
stidmama
It was good, smores -- I learned a LOT, attended about 8 workshops and made time to see some of the people who had posters to present and also visit the exhibit hall for an hour. I was busy! LOL didn't do the evening things (a dance and a lecture) because I was so tired.
3:20 pm
Jillyjill
Did you drive or fly? I'm pretty sure mine was from the 6 hour flight from Hawaii.
3:21 pm
stidmama
I drove to Seattle, and made a last-minute (a week ahead) decision to get a hotel room for two nights so I only had to make the commute once. Theoretically I could have driven up and back each day, but I was so tired by evening that I was glad I didn't push.
3:21 pm
stidmama
I was glad to have a quiet space for down-time in the evenings.
3:21 pm
smores
Did you get to go the see O'connor?
3:22 pm
TraderKate
oh, i stepped away for a minute, and now flosey's gone - if anyone sees her tell her to have lots of fun at bridge
3:22 pm
stidmama
I did not -- that was in the middle of Saturday, and my allergies were so bad (think running faucet) that I needed to just find a quiet corner and take some Benadryl. I was sad to not attend that event, but it gave me a chance to see the exhibit hall, and that was nice.
3:23 pm
stidmama
flosey's flown... *wicked mama grin*
3:23 pm
stidmama
hey kate
3:23 pm
smores
oh definately worth getting a room, glad you didn't try to drive back and forth
3:23 pm
TraderKate
hi stiddie... i'm preparing to go as well - it's the witching hour for me soon
3:24 pm
stidmama
well, if I had, I wouldn't have done the three hours on Sunday morning. And it was a good 2-hour workshop on how to adapt classroom tasks to meet the needs of all kids
3:24 pm
stidmama
already? oh... I guess so! LOL I keep thinking it's still morning here. And it's well into the afternoon.
3:24 pm
TraderKate
is there anyone lurking that needs a clue?
3:26 pm
Jillyjill
the ol5/6 combo? (although not lurking ;)
3:26 pm
stidmama
I should head out too -- have to switch laundry loads and hope the power stays on to dry things properly. Going into town in an hour. Anyone need staples in case the storm knocks out power?
3:27 pm
Jillyjill

4:15 pm
MollyL
So, the funny Thanksgiving story this year is about my dizzy friend who called the gourmet market inquiring about turkey prices and when the guy said 199, she thought he meant 199 dollars, not 1.99 per pound. : D
4:16 pm
Altagolfnut5
1.99 is expensive enough, let alone 199.00
4:16 pm
doseffing
... Could be she was looking for a really, really big turkey ...
4:16 pm
Altagolfnut5
had some friends order a turducken last christmas just to try it. I know it was over 100 bucks!
4:17 pm
MollyL
No, she asked specifically about a 20 pound turkey. I'm still laughing that she though ANY turkey was 199 bucks.
4:18 pm
MollyL
Better yet, when she asked about the Bell & Evans turkeys, he told her they were 340. : D
4:19 pm
Altagolfnut5
yikes, is that organic turkey?
4:20 pm
MollyL
Yes, some kind of froo froo organic gourmet brand. Like there is anything gourmet about a turkey.
4:21 pm

Altagolfnut5

4:27 pm
MollyL
I know someone whose husband and sons used to hunt turkeys. It was not unusual for them to have four or five in the freezer. That they had plucked and dressed themselves. Now that's down home livin'.
4:28 pm

wild turkey? where?! crossy will have 3 finger pour over ice please:))
4:30 pm
Jillyjill
We always get a turkey from the Hutterite colony. Nice fresh bird, no hormones etc, 28# this year: $45.30
4:31 pm
Jillyjill
And, we have tons of wild turkeys around here, someone should start 'harvesting' them! They poop on everything...
4:31 pm
Altagolfnut5
hutterite chickens are good too, and big
4:34 pm

hutterite chickens sounds like a poultry cult

Hi uusue, very heartened by your latest post on Frank1

Altagolfnut5
hi uusue and indiaJan gl:)
5:10 pm
uusue2
the surgeon was just in and said we need to "challenge his system" tomorrow (since he is still very gassy and distended, and doesn't want to eat). I guess this is good but it sounds scary.
5:11 pm
Jillyjill
It does sound daunting...
5:11 pm
uusue2
maybe they just want him to walk a lot? He would probably walk more but keeps falling asleep.
5:12 pm
Jillyjill
Walking actually would aide both his lungs and the bowels. It increases motility..might decrease his gas (flatus in nursy speak).
5:14 pm
uusue2
it does make him burp a lot (which hurts). But he can't go alone, and I'm not comfortable taking him myself with all the things he's attached to. Maybe we should be more assertive about getting him up (but again, he did just wake up). He's been walking about twice a day.
5:15 pm
Jillyjill
And it's good all around not to stay in bed...builds up strength
5:15 pm
uusue2
he's in a chair but it's not that different from being in bed
5:15 pm
Jillyjill
I would encourage him to get up once an hour and just walk around in room a bit..no need to move his 'tethers'
5:16 pm
MollyL
Flatus? I thought he was Cletus's brother.
5:16 pm
Jillyjill
And they hopefully have patient care aides that you could access to ambulate.
5:16 pm
uusue2
good idea. will do.

5:16 pm
uusue2
they do, we just have to ask.
5:17 pm

Have they considered starting any Physical Therapy. An eval might do him some good and getting them to walk him around.

Jilly is gone (and so is my office manager, who came wih papers for me to sign) but the physical therapists are the ones who have been getting Frank around and walking. They had him do a few steps, too (not very many because of the huge IV pole).

Good luck Sue - I guess there might also be a bit of a psychological barrier there too - hopefully not.
6:09 pm

Have you guys heard of "demotivators?" They are parodies of those motivational pictures with captions you see in offices. They are from a site called despair.com and they are hilarious. Check it out. You'll love them.
6:10 pm

BIG psychological barriers, liz

One of my favorite demotivators is a picture of a grizzly bear catching a salmon in his mouth at a waterfall. The caption reads "The journey of a thousand miles often ends very badly."

Sue, my ex says it's appropriate for me to be in psychology since I am a psycho....he may have a point but that's also one reason we are divorced!

6:25 pm

the town library had power so he would go there to get warm food and send me email :-)
6:25 pm
Dorens
he and i probably were hooked uy about the same time then, I called it twelfth night! didn't get cable/internet/tv until this past weekend, but who's complaining??
6:26 pm
uusue2
I talked to him a day or two ago and his living room was back up to 80 degrees where he likes it
6:26 pm
uusue2
ah, he doesn't have cable/internet/TV (just an antenna) so no issue there for him
6:26 pm
Dorens
oh my. 80? i'm used to 68, but I couldn't hack it at 40!! He's made of stronger stuff
6:27 pm
uusue2
is the tree off your house?
6:27 pm
Dorens
it is, to the tune of $2000. Still need some repairs done... still need an insurance adjustor to cme look at it.
6:27 pm
uusue2
His living room got down to 55, I think, but not lower (at least not that he told me); he has big east-facing picture windows so it heats up fast
6:28 pm
Dorens
sorry.. don't know how that happened.
6:28 pm
uusue2
well, at least it's gone, and it sounds like the damage to your house was relatively minor - does it still look that way now that the tree is gone?
6:28 pm

6:29 pm

Just one more thing I like about you, smores!
6:30 pm

hm... there is some damage at the peak of the roof... tiles along the edge somewhat ripped up, don't know about the rest. We'll see... And a huge piece of gutter is ripped up and twisted. But the house is still standing, no major damages.
hello smores and mimi

Do the doctors think the pancreas is part of the bloating problem, Sue?
7:48 pm
jillibus
Hello all and especially uusue -- I've been keeping up with Frank as you may know
7:48 pm
uusue2
no, as far as they know his pancreas is fine, BR, probably it is just his small intestine which has now been operated on twice in six days
7:48 pm
uusue2
hi jilli!!
7:49 pm
uusue2
how are you doing, jilli? It sounded like you were having some trouble as well
7:50 pm
jillibus
Sue, as I remember from my own experience (not as traumatic as Frank's), the poor old exhausted gut takes it's own sweet time to recover. Until there's gurgling, it's saying "Please let me rest!"
7:50 pm
gapeach
se5-12 please....thanks
7:51 pm
jillibus
I'm feeling better today, thanks, Sue -- see the GP on Friday.
7:51 pm
uusue2
well, some of it is gurgling, but he's had two resections and one repair so it may take the whole thing a while to work together in a useful way
7:52 pm
jillibus
I wonder what the surgeon has in mind for tomorrow.
7:52 pm
uusue2

Borborygmi: Rumbling sounds caused by gas moving through the intestines, commonly referred to as stomach "growling"). Pronounced BOR-boh-RIG-mee. The singular is borborygmus.

cranberry is what he wanted, he had a few ounces this morning and nothing since
7:55 pm
jillibus
but cranberry is a bit acidic, isn't it?
7:55 pm
uusue2
yes; I'll see if he wants apple instead. Good thinking.
7:56 pm
uusue2
he's been having ice chips all along, but that's not the same
7:56 pm
jillibus
Guess what? I never even started this grid!
7:57 pm
jillibus
Oh, I know about ice chips. Wasn't even allowed them at first. Just a mint-flavoured swab on the dry lips.
7:57 pm
uusue2
I worry that some of this may be psychological, as he's had a lot of issues around food all his life anyway, and getting REALLY sick just after starting to eat post-surgery was very hard on him - he said he was almost suicidal, thinking that this is what the rest of his life would be like
7:58 pm
uusue2
he knows now that it won't, and that all the trouble he had was in fact a sign that things were wrong, even if he didn't know what
7:58 pm
jillibus
Oh dear, poor guy! Please assure him it won't always be so hard. There are so many delicious gluten-free things available, and even more to come -- or whatever else is needed, with so much more information coming in.
7:59 pm
o-o
I think there are sign is building some resilience.
8:00 pm
uusue2
I know - and apparently a lot of what's been giving him trouble was the Crohn's, probably been developing that over the past 10 years, and then the cancer, which has to have been there for several years as well
8:00 pm
uusue2
I think so too, BR
8:00 pm
