12:20 am

dcseain

torn muscle, apparently thanks to thrashing in fever last Tuesday night.

12:21 am

dcseain

it's a re-injury. i tripped and did this in September the 1st time.

12:21 am

VolleymomDee

sooo very sorry to hear! Sounds painful! How long will it take to heal?

12:21 am

dcseain

i'm normally quite physically active, and may want PT this time.

12:21 am

dcseain

last time, 8 weeks.

12:21 am

dcseain

i have follow-up in 10 day.s

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

Ouch, dc. They may advise PT, then.

12:22 am

dcseain

JJ got me to see doctor to verify that not a clot.

12:22 am

dcseain

which it was happily not.

12:22 am

Lizlin

that must've been some fever to tear a muscle :(

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

Thank goodness for that!

12:23 am

dcseain

i was a teeth-chattering fever as i was going to bed. I turned up the heat and bundled into bed. By AM i'd kicked off the quilt and the blanket completely, but still had the sheet.

12:23 am

rururocks

finito

12:23 am

dcseain

12:29 am

rururocks

12:30 am

Lizlin

I think there should be a da 7! Someone who deals with information

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

aww good one

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

down to 5... one g and the rest a's of course (since I hate words starting with vowels)

12:31 am

rururocks

did you have a flu DC?

12:31 am

rururocks

you need ga 6 dee

12:31 am

rururocks

another name for me

12:31 am

dcseain

possibly -- it was like a cold with a a fever. First light symptoms Monday, fever T and overnight, getting better each day.

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

that's it, ru

12:32 am

VolleymomDee

hope my flu shot keeps it away from me

12:32 am

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

ty vm!!

12:36 am

rururocks

I got kind of choked up on the second clue

12:36 am

Lizlin

lol

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

do you know how many people they are expecting tomorrow, ru?

12:37 am

rururocks

omg.. hundreds and hundres

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

Must be a large center.

12:37 am

rururocks

it is Glide Church in SF

12:38 am

rururocks

I thought this was the year I was going to do something .

12:39 am

rururocks

We have to take care of our vets, our elderly, our homeless here.. and stop spending money in Iraq and Iran and freakin afganistan

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

Super idea! I can't do the physical work, but we bought pies to help pay for food for one of our shelters that feed the homeless... $20 a pie.

12:39 am

rururocks

everything helps i'm sure dee

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

We have plenty of money to do all of that, if we didn't have so much governmental overhead (my humble opinion).... we waste so much money, it's ridiculous.

12:40 am

rururocks

I'm probably going to peel 2,000 potatoes or something

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

You'll feel like a private in the army lol

12:41 am

rururocks

we do have enough money.. we just need someone to direct it here and spend it wisely

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

Absolutely.

12:41 am

rururocks

I have a GRRRR moment

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

yes?

12:42 am

rururocks

We of course Bail out JP Morgan Chase.. and then this year in the Fall they hosted a dinner at the French Laundry for 400.. in yountville... for god knows how much money

12:43 am

rururocks

while I am glad the French Laundry got the biz.. it just pisses me off that these guys just don't get off the trough

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

So many of those guys should have had their butts slammed into jail... that is one of the aspects that fries me.

12:44 am

rururocks

I did a dinner at the laundry for 23.. and I could have bought a new car.. I can't even imagine what 400 seats would cost

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

over a grand a plate...

12:45 am

rururocks

probably more than that dee

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

We don't seem to treat rich criminals the same. I am all for a capitalist society, but I hate abuse and waste.

12:47 am

rururocks

me too.. I see so many people in need in the bay area and this is an affluent area

12:48 am

rururocks

it's beyond tragic

12:48 am

Lizlin

Sleep well ruru and Dee - enjoy your days tomorrow :)

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

Throw in all the money all of the athletes get and Hollywood... I really wonder what happened to our decision-making skills.

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

Ty, Liz.. you, too... peace, love, and joy to you and your family.

12:48 am

rururocks

I was talking to a vet at the church while I was signing up.. he's been back from Iraq with PTSD and is still waiting for benefits and to be treated 18 months later..

12:49 am

rururocks

bye liz.. good nite

12:49 am

rururocks

bye liz.. good nite

12:49 am

rururocks

good night dee

12:51 am

rururocks

*steps down off soapbox*

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

so very, very sad. One of our daughter's hospitals is a large VA - because of what she has seen there, she hates the thought of socialized medicine - they are getting substandard treatment or no treatment... it is sad, ru.

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

You'll need to get your chin up before you go tomorrow, ru, or you will come home really upset.

12:52 am

rururocks

I will look forward to it dee .. no matter what

12:52 am

rururocks

good night

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

night, ru, rest well!

12:58 am

o-o

Maybe all the veterans should bring weapons to the VA and see if treatment improves?

1:31 am

hi, ruby, listening to tracks from your son's CDâ€”nice! I have a son-in-law in a band; He's the drummer. They played a big deal local venue a few nights ago. My daughter and I had fun watching him play.

8:40 am

rubyfoo

it is funny, as there are NO Jewish people in the village, I don't even talk about it

8:41 am

hackerly

My Father is Jewish and my Mom is Catholic! I call myself a Cashew!! HAHAH

8:41 am

rubyfoo

hahaha

8:41 am

8:41 am

carleekat

8:41 am

rubyfoo

my son called last night, 40 minutes on the phone (lucky mama) and he's starting a new band, a Greatful Dead tribute, which should be ready by spring

8:41 am

carleekat

oh my... that would be "interesting" hack...Lord how i miss the south

8:41 am

melonheadjujube

Hi, hackerly. I come from a mixed or mixed-up family. Made latkes for a family Christmas dinner. 5 lbs of potatos, which my dutiful son gratedâ€”by hand!

8:42 am

hackerly

Thanks!! I was raised with both traditions and I love it!

8:42 am

rubyfoo

we can't even be buried in the local cemetery

8:42 am

bichon

grating potatos by hand. Any knuckes in them <ggg>

8:42 am

hackerly

That is Awesome Melon!! You should of seen my inlaws expression when I made them brisket and onions for easter!!

8:43 am

hackerly

What Ruby??? that is horrible!!

8:43 am

carleekat

hehehehe....<sitting back chuckling> passing out coffee with baileys

8:43 am

melonheadjujube

Yikes, hackerly! I'm in Cleveland, where being Ital Catholic/Russian Jewish is not even rare. The standing joke is if you make me sit on my hands I can't talk!

8:43 am

bichon

really ruby. That would be difficult for me. Not the cemetary part as we will be cremated.

8:43 am

rubyfoo

when I make latkes, I use the coarse thingo in the food processor

8:43 am

hackerly

I love Latkes!! Please pass the applesause and sour cream!!

8:43 am

bichon

me too ruby

8:44 am

rubyfoo

husband wants to be cremated, so he'll be in the backyard with the pups but I can't decide

8:44 am

bichon

I made sweet potato latkes this year. Different taste

8:44 am

rubyfoo

and I found a French substitue for sour cream; it's not Breakstone's, but it's not bad!

8:44 am

hackerly

Pass the cinnamon then!!

8:44 am

bichon

I need to live somewhere that gets delivery of the New York Times

8:45 am

hackerly

Cremation freaks me out!! At least he will always be close that way!!

8:45 am

rubyfoo

I like those too, but usually make them with left over cooked sweets and they are more mushy and less nicely-textured

8:45 am

hackerly

Do you have a Nook or a Kindle? If so, you can subscribe to it digitally :)

8:45 am

melonheadjujube

I add little rutabaga, about 1 part per 4 or five parts potato. Onion, too of course. Secret seasoning is a generous scrape of nutmeg, along with salt and pepper. My favorite meal is latkes w/sour cream abd applesauce to accompany smoked salmon. :9

8:45 am

rubyfoo

I feel that way about creamation, too, but I don't know if the gardener would be willing to bury me in the garden.....

8:46 am

hackerly

Well that is what friends are for!! HAHA

8:46 am

bichon

latkes and lox, perfection

8:46 am

rubyfoo

I get the International Herald Tribune by mail, 6 days, and the New Yorker. So I'm covered.

hackerly

you are making me so hungry!!

8:47 am

melonheadjujube

bichon, get a digital subscription. I get the Sunday Times, which gives me full digital access,but I am on the verge of going straight digital with both the Times and the New Yorker as part of a general decluttering effort.

8:47 am

rubyfoo

Did you hear about the news shooting in West Webster NY? My DIL knew one of the mrdered firemen from high school

8:47 am

his grumpiness comes and goes -- spurts of generosity and then back to nasty. It's his age. He had tghe wonderful idea this AM of giving My train set to the housekeeper's boys, which I thought would have insulted him as he gave it to me one Christmas

9:29 am

rubyfoo

she was ecstatic when I called her to tell her and will pick it up tomorrow.

9:30 am

carleekat

hmmm...well... he brought some joy ... that is an up side

Happy Xmas everyone....am so disappointed, my son bought me a Kindle Fire HD, and guess what?!?!?....it doesn't take Babble......:(((

10:25 am

montreal13

merry xmas flask ! - i thought you had wifi capability with this device, isn't it so ?

10:25 am

crosshair

merry chrstmas flask

10:25 am

crosshair

always have to watch kindles,they are so proprietary with their electronics

10:26 am

montreal13

hi there crosshair

10:26 am

crosshair

howdy mon13 and merry chrstmas

10:26 am

montreal13

merry xmas cross - but with wifi, couldn't you access any part of the internet ?

10:27 am

crosshair

you can,but in kindles case,there are many things you cannot do as it is not(or not as far as i know) an open format

10:28 am

montreal13

aahhh, there's the rub...

10:28 am

crosshair

with my nook for example i can load full books from anywhere.everything does not have to be bought at amazon bookwise.now saying that thinkgs may have changed with the newer models.last ones i looked at would not even take e pub files

10:30 am

montreal13

i understand: i just thought that with wifi, you had access to the internet, wherever you want to go...including babble...

10:30 am

crosshair

and she may be able to fire babble up,but some reader/tablets do not render it well as babble has only one setup and was never specifically formatteed for tablets or smart phones as many newer programs are now

10:31 am

crosshair

my asus transformer tablet renders babble well but typing in words on the touch keyboard can be a pita,so i will dock it to it keyboard

10:32 am

MollyL

Kindle Fire should access any area of the internet. Flask may just be having a learning curve.

10:32 am

crosshair

perhaps.like i say newer kindle models may have progressed

10:32 am

montreal13

ahh, thx for the info crosshair; i was hesitating in maybe buying a tablet or notebook and, of course, babble would have been a prime application for me...i'll hesitate some more then... sigh

10:32 am

renfield

i like to hold my books, and i love the smell and feel of old books - do not read many of the new writers w/ the exception of my brother, husband, and nephew.

10:32 am

crosshair

my wifes eyesight sadly will no longer allow that renfield,hence the tablet/reader

10:33 am

MollyL

I agree Ren. Reading is very tactile for me.

10:33 am

montreal13

same here molly and renfield...

10:33 am

Jerry81

25 words and i cant find ANY more! the lower right hand corner has zip

10:34 am

MollyL

I have found electronic readers a very sterile experience.

10:34 am

renfield

sorry to hear that crossie - when mi madre could no longer read - pops read to her.

10:34 am

crosshair

it is a godsend for some molly

10:34 am

MollyL

My Mom enjoyed audio books, Ren.

10:35 am

montreal13

i also have a good friend who swears by her e-reader...

10:35 am

renfield

whoa jerry - i had 25 words and have found no more

10:35 am

crosshair

each to theri own

10:35 am

renfield

mine too molly - until the dementia kicked in and she could no longer operate her boom box

10:35 am

MollyL

I like audio books too. It's like being a kid again and having someone read you a story.

10:36 am

montreal13

on that note, i must go - merry christmas all and take care "poof"

10:36 am

Jerry81

ope theres 26. now im just guessing & i dont even know what 79% of them mean!! =)

10:36 am

crosshair

we donated my wifes books to the womens shelter and she is happy to be reading again after ten years without.even if it is a sterile tablet

10:37 am

Jerry81

sorry didnt mean to post that into nain into the chat box oops

10:38 am

crosshair

no probs jerry:)

10:38 am

carleekat

i dont enjoy audio books... i have yet to invest in an e reader

10:38 am

renfield

that is great crossie - mi madre gave me her books - she loved books. we have close to 10k books - they will be donated to different people and institutions in our wills according to the subject

10:39 am

carleekat

but am heading to the states this week..so perhaps I will indulge if the nook on sale

10:39 am

Jerry81

hello again and Happy Holidays to anybody I didn't see earlier

1:10 pm

uusue2

hi ruby!

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

{{sue}} I'm happy to read that Frank feels up for parties! that is very good news

1:15 pm

uusue2

Indeed! They really do him a lot of good. He is very much a people person (whereas I tend to be more quiet and shy)

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I have eaten so much today that I feel like I'm going to explode. The third slice of pumpkin tart did me in

1:16 pm

uusue2

pumpkin tart sounds good! I had a piece of pumpkin cheesecake last night, it was wonderful

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

I would think that after spending so much time with him in the hospital, it would do you good, too, talking about non-medical stuff and eating and drinking

1:18 pm

uusue2

it does (even now that he's been out of the hospital for a few weeks a lot of our conversation revolves around his health)

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

you can talk physics! food! children!

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

books!

1:20 pm

uusue2

yes, my child just came in and is doing his laundry

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

how is "your child"

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

did he ever finally get rid of that awful girl?

1:20 pm

uusue2

pretty good; he's been walking the dog a lot, which has been very useful

1:21 pm

uusue2

no, he still sees her (sigh0

1:21 pm

rubyfoo

oh, I'm sorry about that

1:21 pm

uusue2

he doesn't get sucked in by her histrionics as much any more, but she's still messing with him

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

I guess there's nothing left for you to do about it except if it should cost him, it will have to cost HIM!

1:22 pm

uusue2

yes, exactly

1:23 pm

uusue2

apparently she threw her frappucino (cold coffee/milk drink) all over his car; he's cleaned it up

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

my son had an ex who threw a drink at him in a bar, long after they were no longer together

1:23 pm

uusue2

and now that he has his own car I don't have to worry about it, which is nice

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

it's hard to imagine that level of disinhibition

1:24 pm

uusue2

it is indeed. she is really nuts.

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

must go now. It sounds like 2013 will be better for you, sue,; I really hope so!

1:25 pm

uusue2

wow, monkeys have me down to 2 four-letter words and I"ll be done!

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

I've sent my monkeys home

1:25 pm

uusue2

they just found another one

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

I need 11 but it's mostly one of this, one of that, and I lack the patience

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

*woof*

1:26 pm

uusue2

dog wants out?

1:28 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

1:29 pm

I am! Nice Christmas Day, went to Mass last night, then came home and son made me a stiff whiskey sour. Slept like a log. Spent day with Mom here; watched White Christmas, then opened presents, then had dinner. Hubby and son are taking her home and I just finished dishes!

6:54 pm

Jillyjill

How was yours?

6:57 pm

"Ok, just settle down sir," the doctor says. "You're just going to have to be a little patient."

Hey there, sue. How are things today?

8:58 pm

Pretty good, peach. We spent both last evening and this at different friends' houses, and had a lot of fun. Frank had another bout of nausea this afternoon but medication and food did the trick.

8:59 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ma6-21 the1st? Thanks

Hello uusue2! How are you? I hope you had a nice X-mas!

9:35 pm

uusue2

we did, min, very quiet and relaxed

9:37 pm

Minveryork

That's good. Not so quiet here with a toddler and 6 dogs.

9:38 pm

uusue2

6 dogs??? holy cow! I thought we had a circus with one dog and two cats!

9:39 pm

Minveryork

My family is a family of dog lovers. We used to have cats

9:41 pm

uusue2

We like them all! I had cats because they are easier to care for, but Frank really likes dogs so we got a dog too

9:43 pm

Minveryork

How is Frank?Hope that he was able to enjoy the holiday

9:47 pm

uusue2

He is OK, min, he really likes being with people so it was good to get out and visit. He had some nausea but the medicine helped.

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Who did you visit with today? It's good to keep him busy.

9:49 pm

uusue2

some friends of ours had an open house, so we went to visit. Last night our minister had people over so we went there too. Lots of fun both times.

9:52 pm

Minveryork

Oh that's good. I just stayed here at my parents house. I am going back to New York tomorrow to beat snow storm

9:55 pm

uusue2

travel safely, min!

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Nice chatting with you uusue2, but I have to go to bed. I am getting up early tomorrow to drive back to New York.

9:56 pm

Goodbye uusue2! We'll chat when I get back to New York.

stidmama

love vacation... would prefer if the kid who still lives at home were getting better from the wisdom teeth extraction a little faster

11:04 pm

stidmama

:-) he'll be okay, but he still needs a good bit of pain management and he is getting impatient (it's only been five days)

11:06 pm

11:19 pm

stidmama

Naps are gooooood....

11:19 pm

stidmama

It snowed a tiny bit at our place this morning and promptly melted. There was more a little further inland, that I suspect is still there.

11:20 pm

stidmama

I shall be limiting my driving tomorrow to fairly local areas.

11:20 pm

rururocks

ah

11:21 pm

rururocks
