Well not a clamp or scalpel... but a kind of tube for draining fluid.

Yes, ruby, sadly to say

it's hard to do all this stuff myself as Burt is no help. He does his finite chores (food shopping, bird and fish feeding and dog walking -- and i TRULY appreciate that -- but the rest is all on me

that's a funny image, annie, like one of those little kids in a snowsuit whose arms and legs won't bend!

or is the word caregiver. Either way, it is not easy.

it's true, if I had to shop as well as cook, it would be too much -- and most of the food is for him and the pups anyway. I'd be happy with an egg sandwich!

there is a very big book, just out, which makes me think of you. It is called "Far From the Tree" by Andrew Solomon and is about horizontal identities in families, whether through color, disability, sexual preference or anomaly. It is fascinating and adds totally new insights into those questions for me
5:56 am
rubyfoo

you've trained him well, molly. When my son is here, he, too, helps, but unfortunately he's rather far away.....

give yourself at least time to mourn him. Having to let go a pet is really painful.
6:41 am

Sprite he did not pass but I had to give him to someone who could keep him as an outdoor cat as he developed some very nasty habits
6:42 am

aw that is nasty! So sorry to hear that.
6:42 am
NonoNanette

getting another cat anytime soon would only revisit those habits I think
6:43 am

if you feel the habits were a reaction to set circumstances, I think you are right.

6:50 am

they should have told you. Now they only created more problems, for the cat and for you.
6:51 am

I agree! I feel so bad about the cat as he had never been an outside cat and I still worry about him

Nan, I have found that neutered males are excellent. If you get a cat as a kitten you can discourage bad habits when they start. Don't deprive yourself of the love of a cat just because of this one bad experience. Another cat should benefit from all the love you have to give and they can be such wonderful companions.

we find neutered male kitties the best.if you are not adverse to black kitties,i highly recommend the black bombay breed as they are redily available at your local shelter and have amazing personalities but be warned,they fast become a one person cat and must curl up tight with you when you sleep
7:07 am

No, since it is a prequel. I love finding movie that enable me to get into fantasy....don't have much use for "reality" TV either since I have enough reality in my life already and now am searching for a good fantasy! Exciting, xe!

All three of mine are strictly indoors....too dangerous to allow them out. But I have a balcony that I'm working on fixing up with planters and greenery for them. Can't allow them out there until I get it so they can't jump up on the wall since my Dodger cat has seizures and I'm afraid he'd fall off.

Imagine a man who doesn't believe in anything, hope for anything, doesn't love anyone. This is a description of a dead or paralyzed soul. This happens from great grief, or from an unhappy upbringing when parents make from their children's souls paralytics. ~Simon Soloveychik

One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore. ~Charles Horton Cooley

“We find that people's beliefs about their efficacy affect the sorts of choices they make in very significant ways. In particular, it affects their levels of motivation and perseverance in the face of obstacles. Most success requires persistent effort, so low self-efficacy becomes a self-limiting process. In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, strung together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.” ~Albert Bandura

To abuse or neglect a child, to deprive the child of his or her own identity and ability to experience joy in life, is to commit soul murder. Soul murder is the perpetration of brutal or subtle acts against children that result in their emotional bondage to the abuser and, finally, in their psychic and spiritual annihilation.

Mimi, I don't know about the afterlife. But I do think that life is about learning, on soul level, so I guess there must be some kind of reviewing, some kind of balancing and learning afterwards.

The world's busiest airports by passenger traffic are measured by total passengers (data from Airports Council International), defined as passengers enplaned plus passengers deplaned plus direct-transit passengers. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta has been the world's busiest airport every year since 2000; with all airports combined London has the world's busiest city airport system by passenger count.

Does she have access to wifi? Most Nooks will download that way.
9:40 am

Think Starbucks or your local library.
9:41 am
Riverdance

I dont know if her friends have wifi or they are directly hooked to a modem. I registered the nook in my name and have my credit card info in it. She can order whenever she wants but she needs computer access. My Mom is 84. I doubt she will go to those sources on her own. She has 7 books on it right now so that will keep her busy for a while. And she did tell me she has several friends with e-readers and they love them, so I am sure they willl help her get started.
9:42 am

You're lucky. My Mom won't even try a ebook reader.

I didnt ask her, I just got it for christmas. she has trouble reading now unless it is large print because of her macular degeneration. She loves to read so I thought this would be a good idea.

she is doing really well jill.still a bit battered and bruised and tired more than normal but that is to be expected. we met the lady and her husband today to hit her and we all hugged and had a good chat.it was just a tragic accident but noe hopefully something will be done to the road where the bairn and other children cross. there should be lights so the drivers can see them as they are all dressed in black uniforms.we are now going to mexico next week, which will be great to just relax.than ks for asking :)

I had a woman treat me that way once, on a much smaller scale. I dropped a 12-pack of coke cans on her foot, and she filed an accident report at the store. They told her to sue me. She called me to tell me that she had no intention of suing me, and that I should not worry about it for one more minute. (She was outraged at the store for dealing with it that way.)
2:14 pm

wow, nrkii, not a decent way for a store to react to such situation

Hi lilliann. It is invigorating. Murphy, the dog, likes to go out to chace squirrels. He has no chance of catching one but he feels duty bound to make the effort.
3:37 pm
uusue2

lol, gmere! We've gotten Sera to the point where she pretty much ignores the squirrels. Rabbits, on the other hand.....

6:09 pm
Lizlin

I hope the quiet house is a good thing! Guests are lovely but I know that we enjoy the peace and quiet afterwards
6:10 pm

it's nice, I believe there's a reason we are unable to have children past a certain age, time to enjoy grandchildren who come to visit

Yum! He must hate pizza!
6:11 pm
flosey

wow, great landlord, cos - seems to have been a good move?
6:11 pm

nah today was a reward for paying our rent a week before it was due. it helped that we signed the lease last week lol
6:11 pm
invictus

I want some free pizza.
6:12 pm
Lizlin

Or perhaps he thinks you look hungry!
6:12 pm
invictus

Or maybe he is a part owner of the pizza place?
6:12 pm
cosdem

well move went well except the therm. is broken. it is like a furnace here and we have the a/c on and its 20 degrees out. still hotter than hot. theyre fixing it tomorrow. a/c is on, all windows is on. heat off., still very hot
6:12 pm
cosdem

*windows open, not on lol
6:13 pm

So ice cream more necessary than pizza!
6:13 pm
flosey

but soon remedied, hope it's more comfortable then

the cold front has seemed to leave us but its only the beginning of Jan *sigh*
6:15 pm
Lizlin

I would agree with not too early! Can't believe that workmen start here at 7.00 am! Now I'd've liked that when I was working in the UK - but not a hope!
6:15 pm
cosdem

Anytime after 10am is fine ;)
6:16 pm

Hi, Flosey. I don't think we have met, but I've heard about you - good things, don't worry. I was Jesse's partner. He was Nancy Boy here, if you remember him at all. So there are a lot of familiar names to me here!
7:05 pm
flosey

oh yes, now I remember you frank, the name did ring a bell but couldn't place you
7:05 pm

Of course we remember Nancy Boy. Glad you are trying Babble.

lol, but please join and become a regular
7:07 pm
stidgmere

Lots of Babbler change their icons according to a theme. I always manage to slow down the chat and people naturally get upset and I get flustered and have to get Stidmama to fix things. So, my icon is my puppy, Murphy.
7:07 pm
frank cleary

I'll have to see if I can keep up with the game! It's easy to look over somebody's shoulder and pick out a few words, but completing it for myself is pretty challenging!
7:08 pm
flosey

it'll come with time frank
7:09 pm
stidgmere

We set goals. Sometimes it is 100 words. Sometimes just leaving no tile blank (NTB), sometimes it is what you can do in 15 minutes. Nobody has to finish a grid.
7:10 pm
flosey

I've finally reached the time where I can just say, that's enough for this grid and walk away - but I did complete the 744! that was grim determination
7:11 pm
flosey

and quite a challenge - certainly didn't do much else that day
7:11 pm
stidgmere

Being able to walk away is the sign of a STRONG Babbler. Many are not happy with unfinished grids. Speaking of which, I need two more words for 100 so excuse me while I do those and then fix dinner. Best wishes to all.
7:11 pm
frank cleary

That's a good idea. I can be a bit competitive, so I need to try not to compete with myself!

I op4/5ed up Babble website la4/4 this afternoon.I was el 5/10d to see that grid was not too big and not too pu 4/8.I ho4/5d in on grid and found most of the words.Th 4/5 I had to re 4/6 on a list to get most of my words. Al 5/12ough I'm not done yet, I on4/6 have one word left. Now here is a story of clues to help you hu4/6 for words I do not cl 5/12 my house very often. I am ha 5/14ed at the thought of cl 5/12ing. I ca 4/5 bring myself to do it once a week like I should. I hate doing it so I do a big cl 7/40 twice a year. This drives hubby crazy because he is extremely an 5/10 about having an immaculate house. When I finally do cl 5/12, he checks afterward to make sure I vacuumed undernea4/5 the beds and couches. It puts a smile on his fa 4/7 if my cl 5/12ing job meets his standards. Hubby, who's pe4/6anently op 6/27 opposed to Babble, wants computer. If I do not give it to him, he will become very me 4/5. I am going to le 4/5 into bed and watch Nicole Kidman in the film Dead Ca 4/6. I ho 4/5 you have found more words with my story.Goodnite

10:05 pm
Bugsaw

how about you?
10:06 pm
Jillyjill

LOL, well, my work load has significantly decreased. I guess no one wants procedures during the holidays! Have been enjoying #1 son being home for awhile!
10:07 pm
Bugsaw

it is always fun to have son's home for the holidays. None of mine come to me because I live too far away but I go to where they are cos they are close together. I love my boys
10:08 pm
Bugsaw

can you offer a clue for the ha 5, 16 please? I am blind
10:09 pm
Jillyjill

Me too, both my boys live on the east coast, but #1 is in college and can come home for break. Makes up for the years he was in the Coast Guard and missed many holidays.
10:09 pm
Jillyjill

add a double hump consonant to the ha4/6(to carry away)
10:10 pm

10:11 pm
Jillyjill

10:11 pm
Bugsaw

10:11 pm
Jillyjill

this one is a clump of hops...where ever does enable find these...
10:12 pm
Jillyjill

and the th5 refers to a part of the hand that connects to the thumb...
10:12 pm
Bugsaw

I wish it would stay away from the scientific words and just try to increase my vocabulary
10:13 pm
Jillyjill

Like one would ever use these in a sentence!
10:13 pm
Bugsaw

when I looked it up it was a tree....
10:13 pm
Jillyjill

whoops, I was thinking of the th6, not the 5...
10:14 pm
Bugsaw

oh yes, it was dumb too but I just extended the one it front and monkeys were ok with it
10:16 pm
Jillyjill

LOL, some days those monkeys really get a workout!
10:18 pm
Bugsaw

my monkeys do every day. I get as far as I can past 50% on my own, then list and then monkey. If all fails I ask for clues or use More Words for the last few.
10:18 pm
Bugsaw

I asdmire those who can do this listless so much. Their vocabularies much be huge
10:19 pm
Jillyjill

I use the list to get nbt, not listing, just giving me a fighting chance to monkey the nbt
10:19 pm
Jillyjill

I have done a few listless, the really short ones at least...
10:20 pm
Bugsaw

even the sort ones have stumped me by 1 or 2. I am waiting for the day when I can say I did it listless
10:21 pm
Jillyjill

I have done one...but only one...
10:22 pm
Bugsaw

good for you. I know it is not as easy as some of these guys say it is. I think they have exceptional memories and mine seems to be fading away
10:25 pm
Bugsaw
