jillibus

nice, mrp -- I'veneve been there, really, except on a train when I was 8, and what impressed me was that there was a chewing gum machine in the railway station -- I'd never seen such a thing, and gum was a severe no-no in my British Shanghai school.

1:05 am

negativeneil

1:06 am

jillibus

1:07 am

jillibus

1:10 am

negativeneil

1:10 am

negativeneil

Lovely? :P Yeah... ok.

1:10 am

negativeneil

Haha. Well... she's kinda biased.

1:10 am

rururocks

:-D

1:12 am

rururocks

there will come a time when you'll be grateful you have thick hair

1:12 am

negativeneil

Haha. A little while ago my dad posted:

"Today is Mayan 12.19.19.17.17 Friday will be 13.0.0.0.0. Should be no problem since Mayans wrote everything in Linux"

1:12 am

1:16 am

Bugsaw

Are you giving me permission to list sooner, Jilli? Some days I am sorely tempted

1:17 am

jillibus

sure, bugs, why not? I'm no masochist.

1:17 am

Bugsaw

that is what it feels like for sure! tho I do it to stretch my brain so I don't get too stupid too early

1:18 am

jillibus

you hae nothing to worry about there, bugs

1:19 am

jillibus

I keep seeing words which are German names of Great Danes I wrote about, like "Astid"

1:20 am

Bugsaw

I keep trying adios and quotes

1:20 am

jillibus

and ther was a famous British champion Estid Elch of Ouborough. Estid is here too

1:21 am

jillibus

I think adios works when it's not a phantom

1:22 am

Bugsaw

I am just full of cold and Mr Bugs is making me hot rums to cure it. hahaha

1:23 am

jillibus

fading fast -- bed beckons. Snow in the forecast -- glad I got my Xmas stuff couriered to the family yesterday.

1:23 am

jillibus

Oh, nice Mr Bugs -- give him hugs, you lucky thing!

1:23 am

Bugsaw

aren't you going to Dave's for Christmas Jilli?

1:24 am

jillibus

yes, I am -- weather permitting -- so I send my stuff ahead in case I can't make it.

1:25 am

Bugsaw

how nice. I go down to see the kids on the weekend before Christmas to see them and exchange gifts then I am home here to have a quiet day with Mr. Bugs and adult family up here

1:26 am

jillibus

That sounds lovely, bugs. Hope your cold will be gone by then.

1:26 am

Bugsaw

me too! hence the rums

1:28 am

jillibus

I had fun packaging those things I got at the First Nations gallery -- included writeups about the artists which I had googled. I warned grandson not to make any smart remarks about Beau Dick (included a link to a video of him -- lovely guy).

1:29 am

jillibus

When idi your cold start, bugs?

1:30 am

jillibus

*did ( ugh -- terrible typo!)

1:30 am

Bugsaw

I have a Beau Dick. He is a lovely guy

1:31 am

Bugsaw

My cold started with a sore throat on the weekend and completely stuffed up on Monday. I need to get over it quickly so I can wrap everything to take it down on Friday. I am forgetting the baking. Just giving them recipies

1:31 am

jillibus

We know too little about all those artists.

1:32 am

Bugsaw

i met Beau and got a print from him years ago when we were both young. I knew he would make a name for himself

1:33 am

jillibus

Take care, bugs, and take it easy. You sound sensible. I must crash now -- get well xx

1:33 am

jillibus

Wow, lucky you!

1:33 am

Bugsaw

3:08 am

o-o

So sorry, Ren.

3:10 am

o-o

War is a life-changer .... I would like to see all reps who vote to send people to a war zone fitted with a uniform and sent to the front lines.

3:19 am

renfield

yes - rab - i stay in contact w/ rex's friends and my former IDF unit.

3:24 am

o-o

You served in Israel?

3:26 am

renfield

yes rab - when you turn 18, you are conscripted for 2 years, if you live in Israel or hold dual citizenship.

3:28 am

o-o

You have experienced a lot in your life, Ren.

3:32 am

renfield

as you know rab - it takes a toll on your life. you either live to stay alive or you just veg out. i'm ready to veg for a while

Taking care of yourself is THE priority.

My soul is a broken field, plowed by pain. -Sara Teasdale

3:55 am

renfield

i love what my friend's youngest daughter said to her older sister who was twirling around to music "you need to be careful twirling so you don't lose your facts - i was twirling the other day and lost my math facts"......so we need to be careful when we twirl...we can no longer afford to lose our math facts! :)

3:59 am

o-o

The math says I have been around awhile, gave it all the will and insight I could muster and now am told I have to accept I will not get better .... now, I am just tired. No twirling for me.

4:01 am

renfield

ok - with my falls - and your not getting better - we will obviously keep our math facts

4:10 am

o-o

Thanks, Ren.

Hello, good to see you.

6:11 am

zoozzoom

I would like to buy a heliosciophyte plant please.

6:11 am

which of course, as you all already knew, means: of, like or pertaining to sea creatures who spend time in fresh water

A man walked into a bar and sat down, ordered a beer. As he sipped the beer, he heard a soothing voice say, "Nice tie!" Looking around he noticed that the bar was empty except for himself and the bartender. A few sips later the voice said, "Beautiful shirt." At this, the man called the bartender over. "Hey, I must be losing my mind," he told the bartender. "I keep hearing these voices saying nice things, and there's not a soul in here but us."

"It's the peanuts," answered the bartender. "They're complimentary."

6:11 am

I should remember this one. Usually when I am called upon to tell a joke, all I can remember are the bad ones... the dirty ones.

6:16 am

Well to be honest..i do not know.

6:19 am

obviously I am wrong. Ah well, am used to that ;)

6:20 am

zoozzoom

Two giraffes were in a race. They were neck and neck.

6:20 am

ChampFit

I'm in agreement on taoist, but too lazy to look it up to see if it's in another dictionary.

6:20 am

zoozzoom

thats the only clean joke i know.

6:20 am

sprite

lol

6:22 am

sprite

my only clean one is: two mice are taking an evening stroll. Then a bat flies over. One of the mice is scared. The other says: "Nah, don't worry, that is my nephew, he is in the USAF."

6:22 am

Grapefruit Is a Culprit in More Drug Reactions
http://tinyurl.com/bmn5cm4

6:35 am

sprite

now that is scary. Didn't know that.

6:35 am

scrambler

i love grapefruits, but as you see it can be troublesome as drugs are enhanced with the combo of grapefruit and certain drugs

6:36 am

ChampFit

Stupid drugs. Amazing that a simple grapefruit can cause so much trouble.

6:36 am

sprite

worth checking. I love grapefruit too.

6:38 am

sprite

omg... I have taken oxycodone for a long time, together with lots of grapefruit juice. Never knew it could be harmful. And they checked me over and over again for asthma during that time.

6:39 am

ChampFit

Good grief! Maybe there was a simple explanation? Wow sprite!

6:41 am

sprite

amazing. Well, I don't use oxycodone anymore, and the stuff I do use is not on the list. So it looks I am safe now.

6:42 am

sprite

thanks BabbleRabble, for the headsup

6:46 am

sprite

Champ, when I started on antidepressants, I also took a tincture of Saint John's Worth. Then I looked up the side effects etc and I just happened upon information that the combination can be really dangerous. No warning from doctor, pharmacist or .... not sure of the word, the paper they enclose in meds to tell you about the stuff.

6:47 am

ChampFit

Can anyone know ALL the interactions? It would seem impossible.

6:48 am

ChampFit

BBL...must shove kids out the door...

6:48 am

sprite

well, they should put it on that piece of paper they enclose as soon as they find out.

6:50 am

MimiCat

Sprite, Ii think the key is finding a pharmacist who is really diligent and knowledgeable. Like any profession, you have the good and the bad and the in-between. We have to be so proactive in our own health.

6:53 am

sprite

very true, Mimi. Our pharmacy isn't that great. None of them are, in our neighbourhood. Ah well, sometimes we are guided to what we need... as happened to me with that information on the serotonin syndrome

6:54 am

MimiCat

I did medical transcription for years and know more than the average person but still look everything up and get as much info as possible. Actually, the doctors don't want us doing that...they think we get too scared. But I believe it is THEM who are scared that we'll get too competent and not need them so much!

6:55 am

sprite

I am very lucky with my doctors, they encourage that. I try to look up everything, both on paper and on the internet. But still.

6:56 am

good morning all

6:56 am

hiya teach :)

6:56 am

Hi wvt :)

6:56 am

wvteach

i think your "good" doctors want their patients to be proactive and knowledgeable

6:57 am

MimiCat

It's a struggle to keep up as we get older. I'm very fatalistic most of the time. I figure when it's my time to go, God knows where to find me and if it's not my time, no way will I leave no matter what!

6:57 am

MimiCat

Hi, teach! Oh, and Morning everyone!

6:57 am

Hi Mimi :)

6:57 am

sprite

I am kind of in the middle, I think. I do trust in God, but I know He expects me to tie my camel to the temple post ;)

6:58 am

MimiCat

I agree, teach. Don't even get me started on doctors! I worked with them for so many years---oh, the stories I could tell.

6:58 am

sprite

yes, I think so too, teach. My doctors are great that way. I get all the information I want, or pointers on where to get more. And they don't pretend to know more than they do.

6:59 am

MimiCat

Certainly, sprite....God does help those who help themselves. Sounds like you have really good doctors.

6:59 am

sprite

yes I do. Took me ages to find them, but am very happy with them now.

ohhhhhh i wish i were in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten

7:44 am

hurshy

look away, look away, look away, dixieland

7:44 am

dan2bit

land of cotton is hot and muggy and full of bugs

7:45 am

hurshy

i know, but it's winter, so it shouldn't be that bad right now, right?

7:46 am

hurshy

anyway i don't REALLY wish i were in dixie... went to tennessee once and even there felt very odd. just a nice song.

7:49 am

Uneaixoise

yeah, we're pretty odd here in Tennessee :-)

7:49 am

Uneaixoise

morning :-)

7:49 am

hurshy

not sure it's that YOU'RE odd - but i felt very foreign. out of place.

totally understand -- I often do myself as well

7:52 am

off to grab some coffee -- back in a bit *poof*

morning all and how many words today and thanks

8:02 am

lideola

160

8:03 am

stevedallas

and its only two days until the end of the world! Everyone getting prepared?

8:03 am

hurshy

if only!

8:04 am

lideola

For some reason no one is willing to sign over power of attorney to me in preparation. I also can't get them to send me all of their assets. Can't say I didn't try though.

8:04 am

hurshy

what would be the point? if the world ends, NOBODY needs power of attorney cause there will be nobody here

8:05 am

lideola

then it shouldn't matter to them if I have it!

8:06 am

hurshy

but naturally they don't want to bother with unnecessary paperwork in their last few days.

8:07 am

lideola

then they can just send me all of their money and we can just skip the paperwork ; )

8:07 am

hurshy

even sending money takes effort.

8:07 am

lideola

I'm willing to pick up

Good morning, all. My my. Time magazine has certainly lowered the bar.

8:35 am

*snicker*

8:36 am

Personally, I would have picked someone who wasn't a politician. Y'know, someone who actually accomplished something worthwhile.

8:37 am

Uneaixoise

ok, I'm outta here -- I thought we agreed not to make this kind of comment in the chog -- bye *poof*

8:38 am

Judi

*sigh*

8:40 am

Judi

I publically apologize for insulting Time magazine.

8:40 am

eieios

I think people forget this country is very divided on their feelings about our current president. the election was hardly a landslide. best if we keep him out of our chat, i guess....

8:40 am

hurshy

i think i would have picked the teachers who died at sandy hook.

8:41 am

hurshy

died saving or trying to save their students

8:41 am

eieios

or maybe all the first responders and medical personnel who had to deal with the aftermath....

8:41 am

hurshy

seems like something everyone could have agreed on.

8:42 am

I think the "Man of the Year" issue was printed long before.

Out of curiosity, (as an only infrequent reader of your chat), have you agreed to avoid all political comments or only those relating to Obama? Incidentally, I think most informed commentators in the UK were very relieved when he won (not that that necessarily means very much).

Apologies, not sure why that appears twice!

I don't recall agreeing to any such thing, Ray. Everyone has varying degrees of sensitivity to political related remarks/discussion. Some are more sensative than others.

8:46 am

i avoid all. my opinions tend to be strong, so i keep them to myself. =)

those poor families who lost children, and lost loved ones. my opinion is that he must have had a schizofrenic break and the guns were there. if the guns werent there, maybe he would have strangled his mother and perhaps one other. but it is what it is.

8:51 am

Judi

We may never know what the young man's motivation was, mkg. As more information comes out, I kind of wonder if the mom had the guns to protect herself from him.

8:52 am

mkg

in israel daily there are rockets being fired and people are killed and injured and lose limbs and it is seldom covered in our press. and what about what goes on in africa? horrible murders and tribal fights and we dont hear or read of them. i guess i get upset that our u.s. press is so totally focused on the u.s. and there is not much global news really.

8:52 am

There is no logical explanation for any of it.

i guess i am weird because i see the pluses and the minuses to our president and to all politicians. i dont feel any of them are perfectly in sync with my thoughts and opinions. so i am a straddler in the middle. so i dont feel so strongly about most of it. my one strong feeling is that the u.s. and israel should and must exist. i think the u.s. is a very special nation and so is israel. and much of western europe is wonderful. i fear they will cease to exist because there are so many who want to institute shria law into europe and want to bring down western nations. that is what really scares me. and that i feel strongly about. i have read that sweden and belgium have such trouble with the influx of muslims and the youth are buying into what the imams are saying as to destroying the west and installing shria law. and where does that leave women? well, we certainly dont have rights under shria law. so that scares me.

For women all over the world.Some countries were always terrible and they're not getting better & now it seems to be spreading.

9:13 am

Judi

There is much to be frightened of in the world today. There is also much hope. What I fear is that the U.S. is selling out on our traditional values and positions of humanity, morality and strength. My hope is that the world in general will wake up to the threats from radical "religious" groups and wrong-headed politicians and dictators.

9:13 am

Then again, maybe I'm just being "dumb".

I have worked in a police department for the past 15 years. Believe me, I have seen a steady degradation of society. Children being raised (or ignored) by a parent or parents who have no idea what it means to be a parent. On a daily basis I see complete disrespect for police and others in authority. I see violence in homes and against police officers. There is a segment of society that is disaffected, amoral, drug-addicted, unemployed and yet who still feel entitled to that which they have not worked for. Nor do they ever intend to work for self-preservation or for their children. It saddens and frightens me. It also explains why I am going to buy a gun to protect myself and my home.

9:22 am

for me it is usually the 'singles' that stump me

9:44 am

Judi

Babble blindness is a unique phenomenon

9:45 am

yes-but it amazes me that sometimes I'll type & even though it isn't what I was thinking--it will be a word!

9:45 am

scribekd

it's like Babble on automatic

9:46 am

rubyfoo

hardest for me are always the endless vowels.....

9:47 am

9:48 am

rubyfoo

9:48 am

rubyfoo

how are you holding up?

9:49 am

uusue2

ok, ruby. I'm with Frank at the cancer center, he is having his first chemo treatment.

9:49 am

rubyfoo

how many sessions will he have?

9:49 am

uusue2

every week for six months

9:49 am

rubyfoo

wow!

9:50 am

uusue2

traditional chemo is every other week; then every week he also gets a biological treatment (monoclonal antibodies)

9:51 am

rubyfoo

my protocol was very quick, very limited and VERY strong

9:51 am

rubyfoo

but I was really lucky to have such a garden-variety cancer

9:51 am

uusue2

they are all different now; his is particular for his type of colon cancer

9:52 am

uusue2

they started out with an anti-nausea drug before they even started running the chemo

9:52 am

rubyfoo

they gave me atavan and I was never sick as long as I didn't drink gin

9:52 am

rubyfoo

they added it to the drip

9:53 am

uusue2

right, that is pretty much what they are doing with him

9:53 am

Judi

They added gin to your drip??

9:53 am

rubyfoo

no, that's what I do now, IV gin lol

9:54 am

Judi

Hee hee. Couldn't resist. That one was too easy.

pretty amazing medical technology now, i bet he'll be just fine.

3:53 pm

lynxxx

ouchy - hope the surgery is successful - though dogs seem to do very well on 3 legs

3:53 pm

bichon

I think that's gong to be the case lyn. The injury was too long ago for them to be able to perform such a miracle. But, he's a spunky guy.

3:54 pm

Nef

I hope they can help him; I feel for him. Torn tendons hurt.

3:55 pm

Nef

Is it his front or back leg, bichon?

3:55 pm

bichon

I think the injury happened long ago. He was on the streets for a good while. Probably stepped on a piece of glass

3:55 pm

bichon

His rear leg.

3:55 pm

Nef

how old is he?

3:56 pm

bichon

Only three. A little cuddler

3:57 pm

lynxxx

You seemed to have given him a chance at a new life...Bless you Bichon

3:58 pm

bichon

i think we gained as much as we did. He made us very happy. Of course our fluffs didn't think so

3:58 pm

bichon

The folks at the airport today were over the moon about him

3:59 pm

lynxxx

lol - little brats

4:00 pm

bichon

Everyone wanted to hear his story.

4:01 pm

lynxxx

on yr profile you mentioned TV?

4:13 pm

Nef

will he be returning to your area or staying in OK?

4:16 pm

Nef

Hmmm, did you wander off, bichon?

4:17 pm

lynxxx

or phone

4:17 pm

lynxxx

wow - 30 to go and I just see the Q

4:18 pm

Nef

you can do it, lynxxx! (I've only found 2 Q words so far; but haven't been here that long)

4:18 pm

periwinkle

the Q words were not hard to find for me

4:18 pm

hi all

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

Nef

hi peri. How are you today?

4:19 pm

periwinkle

4:20 pm

periwinkle

D words are very hard for me to find

4:21 pm

periwinkle

and they are making me cross

4:21 pm

wvteach

struggling with the Ds right now also

4:22 pm

lynxxx

Stew is 'roaching' - he looks very funny. Roaching, laying on back with all legs sticking straight up into the air. I think it is the way greyhounds cool down - it is quite 'muggy' here

4:22 pm

Nef

we're hanging in there. Neither of us is thrilled with a slow recovery; but I was told today when I was at my hand therapy I was doing very well for 6 weeks post op; and I keep reminding DH that he's just 3 weeks post op and it takes time to heal.

4:22 pm

Nef

LOL, lynxxx! I've never heard of that before; but I bet it is funny to see.

4:23 pm

periwinkle

it is hard to be patient when one is recovering, Nef.

4:24 pm

lynxxx

wow another b ad patch Nef. what happened to your hand?

4:24 pm

Nef

I know, peri. But HE still thinks he should be able to DO stuff already --and he can't.

4:24 pm

periwinkle

he had back surgery, Nef?

4:26 pm

Nef

I have "basilar joint arthritis" and had to have a bone removed from below my thumb,and they sewed a tendon from my forearm into the empty space.

4:26 pm

lynxxx

!!!!!

4:26 pm

periwinkle

never heard of that type of arthritis. will have to look that one up

4:26 pm

Nef

DH had an anterior cervical fusion on Nov. 26th peri

4:26 pm

periwinkle

(((((Nef and her DH)))))

4:29 pm

Nef

I've had some sort of arthritis since I was 18; they never gave it a name, but it isn't rheumatoid or osteo; and as long as I keep going; I'm okay (just need things fixed or replaced now that I'm older I guess)

4:29 pm

Nef

thanks, peri.

4:29 pm

lynxxx

always amazed at your ability to cope with whatever life throws at you Nef.

4:30 pm

Nef

lynxxx; what choice do I have? I love life; even if it's lumpy at times.

4:31 pm

Nef

BTW, lynxxx, I love your icon. Did you take that picture or was it done professionally?

4:32 pm

lynxxx

I suppose we all cope when we need too...love 'lumpy"

4:32 pm

periwinkle

I love "lumpy" too

4:32 pm

Nef

(I'm assuming your icon is Stew?

4:32 pm

lynxxx

No, just a picture from the web....but looks a lot like Stew know that he is older and more grey

4:32 pm

lynxxx

know = now

4:33 pm

Nef

maybe bumpy is a better term?

Goodbye lynxxx!I will see you tomorrow in the chat maybe

4:50 pm

Minveryork

Not sure if it is Lyme,but he has all the same symptoms.I'm taking to the vet tomorrow just to verify it is Lyme again.

4:52 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

4:52 pm

Nef

I hope it isn't Lyme

4:52 pm

Nef

Hi uusue! How are you doing? How is Frank?

4:52 pm

Minveryork

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

4:53 pm

uusue2

Hi nef! Frank had his first chemotherapy treatment today and is doing quite well so far. He is wearing a pump and will get infused gradually over the next two days.

4:54 pm

bichon

Great sue. Probably wasn't pleasant though.

4:54 pm

uusue2

we were there today for 7 hours; subsequent treatments will be a little shorter.

4:54 pm

uusue2

hi bichon!

4:55 pm

Nef

I saw on the Caring Bridge site that they gave him Benadryl and he was woozy. Is he still doing okay with the chemo?

4:55 pm

bichon

We were at the airport seeing off Watson

4:56 pm

bichon

So many people were interested in him

4:56 pm

uusue2

still slightly woozy, nef, but basically ok.

4:56 pm

Minveryork

I am glad that Frank's chemo treatment was okay for him.

4:56 pm

bichon

What do you have to watch out for?

4:57 pm

Nef

oh, good, sue. Sending thoughts and prayers for healing his way.

4:57 pm

uusue2

it wasn't nearly as bad as he was afraid it might be, but of course a lot of the effects are cumulative. He will go every week now for 6 months, alternating Erbitux only (1.5 hours) with Erbitux plus Folfiri (about 5 hours, then the pump)

4:58 pm

bichon

Wow!. That's a lot of hours.

4:58 pm

uusue2

bichon, we have to watch out for lots of things - red flag things are fever and diarrhea; there could also be skin problems (rash), constipation, and a host of other things that I can't remember right now.

4:59 pm

bichon

either constipation or diarrhea. Great choices

4:59 pm

uusue2

oh, right, nausea, we have medicine for that, and the Erbitux can cause achy bones so we have medicine for that too

5:00 pm

bichon

When you get done with this, take a nice vacation

5:05 pm

uusue2

no kidding, bichon!!

It's coming down in buckets, and higher up I know it's pure snow, since it's mixed even down by the Sound right now. brrrr

5:58 pm

stidgmere

The amount of sunlight hitting the ground for the past month has been minimal TO. There is an actual measurement made of such things and we have been in very low numbers. It's like perpetual evening.

5:59 pm

6:01 pm

stidmama

how was the shindig at the marina, anyway?

6:02 pm

stidgmere

Oh my. I thought that was completed. The buffet was so cheerful with many men (and a few women) enjoying the company and food. Great place to meet men with boats. Oh, I know one.

6:03 pm

stidmama

rofl... yes, but who would want to meet a man with a boat? *rolls eyes*

6:04 pm

Quite right. Men with boats already are married (to their boat.)

I have to get the fellows from the mall, I think I'll look for a new belt while I am there. The ones I have are too big at the moment.

6:14 pm

stidgmere

I need new belts, too but mine are just worn out.

6:15 pm

stidmama

I could wait to get a belt and we could go together?

6:18 pm

stidmama

finally got a 7, and down below 40. My eyes are getting tired.

6:19 pm

stidgmere

We could go together but not this evening. Would you like to think about doing that tomorrow?

6:20 pm

stidmama

Tomorrow might work, or sometime next week might be better -- after the 26th. Things are rather crazy at the moment.

6:21 pm

stidgmere

Okay later if fine with me. Talk to you later or tomorrow. Good by mama and TO and all.

6:21 pm
