Hi Car.

7:17 am

Mom

((Annie)) good morning

7:18 am

Anniebrook

I was in CT this weekend to watch basketball games my grands were in.

7:18 am

Mom

I am sure you had a great time.

7:19 am

Anniebrook

I sure did and the weather was perfect.

7:19 am

Mom

and the grands were pleased to have their grandma there

7:20 am

car.eeyore

How nice!

7:20 am

lbdawger

(((MOM)))

7:20 am

Anniebrook

We were happy to be there. One team won and the other didnt. So there was high fiving and consoling.

7:20 am

Mom

(((LBD))) good morning

7:22 am

Mom

did you drive or go by train?

7:22 am

Anniebrook

I drove.

7:23 am

Mom

is it a long drive? I can't remember

7:23 am

Anniebrook

an hour and a half. not too bad.

7:23 am

Mom

no, not bad at all

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Mom, How is your hubby feeling?

7:24 am

Mom

Annie, he is still so very sore. I am hoping when he starts therapy on Wednesday that will help ease the soreness

7:25 am

car.eeyore

bus...brb...

7:26 am

Anniebrook

I am sorry he is so uncomfortable. Therapy will help him. It takes time to heal.

7:26 am

Mom

it does indeed. He will be off work until at least April 16

7:28 am

Mom

it was a nice weekend so we went out and walked but today it is raining

7:28 am

Anniebrook

I hope that he heals quickly once therapy starts.

7:28 am

Mom

me too, thanks.

7:29 am

Mom

I wish he would just retire, he line of work is definitely for the young

7:30 am

Anniebrook

Does he entertain the thought of retiring?

7:31 am

Mom

he does. He turned 58 in December and that is the age you can consider retiring with full benefits from the elevator trade

7:32 am

Mom

BUT ..... then you start paying your own health care. He would ideally like to wait until 62 but I don't know that his body will hold out that long

7:33 am

Anniebrook

Something to think long and hard about. Health care is very expensive but then his well being is very important also.

7:34 am

Mom

he has already said he would not retire this year.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

Maybe he will hold out as long as he can.

7:34 am

lbdawger

perhaps he can find something different to do. he's still young and has a lot to offer without all the physical strain.

7:34 am

Mom

the cost of the health premiums would go down once he gets on medicare but that is a ways off

7:35 am

Mom

I wish I could talk him into that LBD.

7:36 am

lbdawger

propose it to him during therapy.

7:36 am

Anniebrook

good idea.

7:36 am

Mom

I will

7:37 am

lbdawger

have him visit your local job services office. they can help direct him to other types of work that he'd be interested in.

7:38 am

Mom

He has started some woodworking and metal art and he would like to make things to sell at craft fairs

7:39 am

lbdawger

cottage industry, fun but not always financially sound, but perhaps he can find a company that does woodwork or tool and dye type stuff.

7:39 am

Mom

He is the oldest at Schindler Elevator in Cincinnati so he has it pretty easy. I really think he would bark at changing jobs because of the pay and the benefits. But who know, get him at a weak moment :-)

7:40 am

Mom

LBD, he was thinking when he retired he would do these things. He would have an income but a way to supplement it

7:40 am

lbdawger

are there any light duty jobs or a desk job he can be moved to?

7:41 am

Anniebrook

I was thinking the same

7:41 am

lbdawger

hobbies are wonderful to have, especially after retirement.

7:41 am

Mom

no light duty jobs in the elevator trade. He would die at a desk job

7:42 am

Mom

I think once therapy starts and it heals more he will be fine. (fingers crossed)

7:42 am

Anniebrook

I hope so also.

7:42 am

Mom

yes, his hobbies will be in the garage or the basement. :-)

7:43 am

morning all!

9:36 am

crosshair

suze!!

9:37 am

uusue2

hi crossy!

9:37 am

crosshair

we missed the show in the sky last night due to overcast:((

9:37 am

uusue2

us too

9:38 am

uusue2

comet should be around for another few days but so should the clouds :-(

9:38 am

crosshair

it is ok,seems it will come around again in 100,000 years or so

9:38 am

uusue2

but there is a brighter comet coming later in the year, probably

9:38 am

crosshair

:)

9:38 am

crosshair

the persid meteor shower is this summer also

9:39 am

uusue2

there are about a dozen meteor showers every year although they are best seen in the early morning hours so I usually miss them

9:42 am

crosshair

if you find the lone p,suze,please clue me as it is driving me mental

9:42 am

uusue2

nbt but all my words have 4 letters

9:42 am

uusue2

pa4/6, crossy

9:43 am

crosshair

ty

9:43 am

crosshair

and fish me

9:44 am

uusue2

not *that* fishy a word, I had to check the stats myself to get it

9:47 am

crosshair

and thats nbt for crossy:)

9:47 am

uusue2

yay crossy!

9:47 am

crosshair

now to hunt the 7 down for nbs

9:47 am

uusue2

<--- nowhere near nbs

9:48 am

MollyL

Yeah Sue, I would agree that the name for sensory appendages on a crustacean is not exactly a fishy word.

9:49 am

uusue2

hi, molly! although I suppose it is fish-related, in a way.. :-)

9:49 am

crosshair

mmmmm, crustaceans in garlic butter

9:49 am

MollyL

Well yes, and it's cumbersome to say "crustacean me"

9:50 am

uusue2

oh, I like your icon, Molly!

9:50 am

MollyL

: )

9:51 am

crosshair

i best check the list now for safe topics for the day:))

9:51 am

crosshair

i think crustaceans are safe

9:51 am

uusue2

any topic you want to talk about is safe with me, crossy :-)

9:52 am

crosshair

:)) you are the best,suze;))

9:52 am

crosshair

how is frank btw?

9:53 am

uusue2

he is ok, been kind of depressed as it looks like the chemo may go on indefinitely

9:53 am

crosshair

ugh:(

9:54 am

crosshair

well,they may have to change up the program a bit

9:54 am

uusue2

but maybe all his scans will be clean and they'll give him some time off for a bit

9:54 am

crosshair

you have to have quality of life

9:55 am

uusue2

that too although we've been hearing nasty things about the other major drug they use for colon cancer, cisplatin - apparently the side effects can be quite nasty

9:55 am

IndiaJan

Morning :)

9:55 am

crosshair

i was on cisplatin.ask away

9:55 am

crosshair

it is evil stuff,suze

9:55 am

crosshair

howdy jan

9:56 am

uusue2

ah - short term memory loss and ringing in the ears are the ones I was reading about this morning

9:56 am

uusue2

hi India!

9:56 am

uusue2

but you seem to have survived it and gotten on with your life, which is good to know

9:56 am

crosshair

nerve damage in hands and feet,TOTAL hair loss,massive weight loss

9:57 am

crosshair

extended minro confabulation for years

9:57 am

crosshair

minor

9:57 am

crosshair

i have to train my brian every day hence these word games

9:57 am

uusue2

sounds bad

9:57 am

crosshair

my hands and feet never recovered

9:57 am

crosshair

if you have a alternate to cisplatin,take it

9:57 am

uusue2

also his insurance company is turning down everything that the cancer center sends out for (reading of scans and whatnot)

9:58 am

crosshair

sigh..forgot the u.s med system again

9:58 am

uusue2

but you can still type, yes? And use a touch screen?

9:58 am

crosshair

yes,suze,it is like pins and needles,forever and some nightly nerve pain

9:59 am

uusue2

his surgeon's group has given him a poverty discount so the bill is now $3000 instead of $16000 (which is about all they would have gotten from an insurance company anyway as they all negotiate lower rates)

10:00 am

crosshair

if you want all the details regarding cisplatin,suze you can email me for all the gory details

10:00 am

uusue2

well, he's on the alternative to cisplatin now (camptosar) and it isn't too bad, it's the erbitux that's giving him the most trouble

10:00 am

crosshair

but each person is different

10:00 am

uusue2

I will if they start talking about putting him on it, crossy, and thanks!

10:01 am

uusue2

meanwhile we are still planning to travel when this set of chemo is done at the end of May - look for us in June or July!

10:01 am

crosshair

and if he does do on cisplatin he better have 100 pounds of weight he can afford to lose.thats what i lost

10:01 am

crosshair

i was on it 6 months or so

10:01 am

uusue2

that would leave him at about 50 pounds, so probably not :-(

10:02 am

crosshair

i was 260 going in 162 coming out

10:02 am

uusue2

although he has gained a little of what he lost before the diagnosis (he'd been unable to eat much for months)

10:02 am

crosshair

all hair gone by second week

10:03 am

crosshair

i can sooo relate.poor frank

10:03 am

crosshair

i can also reccomend chemo friendlu foods

10:03 am

crosshair

friendly

10:04 am

uusue2

recent pic of him in my profile, on flickr

10:04 am

crosshair

at the dinner?

10:04 am

uusue2

right, we are in full dress-up mode

10:05 am

crosshair

well,he is not looking too bad yet.at least his skin is not grey

10:05 am

uusue2

he's the one on the far right, I am next to him, and the lady next to me is very short (I am 5'3" although am wearing heels)

10:05 am

crosshair

i recognize his stache;))

10:05 am

uusue2

no although it is quite dry and you can see the strain around his eyes

10:06 am

crosshair

yes,it is hard on the system

10:06 am

uusue2

his mustache has been getting thinner as well - he doesn't care about the hair on his head but would miss the 'stache

10:06 am

crosshair

when in the middle of all the treatments u was unable to drive a car

10:06 am

crosshair

i

10:07 am

crosshair

had to get the cancer society to drive me to treatments

10:07 am

uusue2

well, we only have one car anyway and I do most of the driving, but not being able to would be a drag

10:07 am

crosshair

god bless them all:)

10:08 am

crosshair

my treatments we south,in toronto,a 2 hour drive

10:08 am

crosshair

but make sure you nail the doc with a ton of questions if he starts talking cisplatin

10:08 am

uusue2

his are right here in town, thank goodness

10:09 am

uusue2

although if I get him on my insurance (which I am planning to do as soon as the current bout of chemo is over) they will be about 1/2 hour away

10:09 am

crosshair

it fingertip tactile sensation is critical to frank,choose another drug

10:09 am

uusue2

can you use a touch screen?

10:10 am

crosshair

if he is a pianist etc

10:10 am

crosshair

yes,like i say it is numb like pins and needles,i cannot feel braile type

10:10 am

uusue2

no, he does a lot on the computer so would like to be able to type but is not a musician

10:10 am

crosshair

and there is some nerve pain from time to time,much like diabetic nerve damage pain

10:11 am

crosshair

but it does not slow me down on the computer too much

10:11 am

uusue2

anyway must get to work, much as I love to talk to you, crossy! Will be in touch pronto if they talk about cisplatin and even if not we are still planning to visit

10:11 am

crosshair

but there is no cure.once the nerve ending are fried,they are fried

10:11 am

uusue2

love to you and the mrs!!!!

10:12 am

crosshair

let me know the area you will be visiting.we can do a meet up

10:12 am

crosshair

((suze))

10:13 am

crosshair

darn,as wondering what area she was going to visit

10:13 am

uusue2

not quite gone yet, and we definitely plan to visit you, crossy! and carleekat and whoever else

10:13 am

crosshair

what area you going to be in?

10:14 am

uusue2

we'll be driving so haven't made any plans yet, will be in areas that we want to see and where people want to see us :-)

10:14 am

uusue2

Hello Babblers

1:27 pm

MollyL

Look, there's Wht, whizzing through the grid.
: D

1:29 pm

wht

Hi Molly. I figured I would say Hi before I started the grid today.

1:30 pm

wht

I am home with the flu, so I figured I could chat while I played today.

1:32 pm

MollyL

Sorry you have the flu. Hope you feel better soon.

1:33 pm

wht

Well, I am feeling well enough to tackle the grid. I might have felt differently if it was one of the 500 word monsters from last week. I think I can handle 104 words.

1:34 pm

MollyL

Some people find playing relaxing. Others say it raises their blood pressure. : )

1:37 pm

wht

It can do both for me.

1:40 pm

TraderKate

hello everyone, hope you all had a good weekend

1:40 pm

wht

Hello TK

1:41 pm

TraderKate

hi wht, i don't think i've seen you on here before, i guess we babble at different timeds - or you usually just lurk ;)

1:43 pm

wht

Usually I lurk during the day because if I am on, I am babbling at work.

1:44 pm

wht

But I chat in the evenings, (Eastern time.)

1:44 pm

TraderKate

you say that like it's a bad thing lol - you would think theat they would want employees that strive to improve their brains

1:45 pm

wht

Bosses are funny like that, they seem to think that their employees should be doing their work.

1:46 pm

TraderKate

many studies have shown that a break - or a npa improves the overalll performance on the job... but i take your point

1:53 pm

mael

I'm my own boss, and babble certainly improves my performance at work ;)

1:54 pm

TraderKate

i find switching tasks throughout the day gives you a little recharge... just like taking a break from babble gives you "new eyes" when you return to it... that's when the fish start to pop out

1:55 pm

mael

yep :)

1:55 pm

mael

I've had 10 left for 20 minutes now, though

1:56 pm

TraderKate

on that note, i'm going to take 5 - just started, but already need only 35 more... i have 2 hours to finish, so i will make it last a bit longer...bbs

1:56 pm

mael

bye :)

1:56 pm

wht

I have just gone through the grid once and I have 21 left. I cannot beleive that there are 35 words starting with S in this grid.

1:57 pm

mael

I don't get a voice. All of my representatives/senators have blocked my e-mails and phone calls.

5:49 pm

stidgmere

I was tangling with prescription medicines today, jmc. It makes one wonder how much trouble one can really get into by just checking the wrong box on the computer. Lots, by my experience.

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

so write them a letter. . . or contact a member of congress with whom you are sympathetic

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

Llyod Doggett maybe?

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

LLoyd Doggett that is

5:50 pm

invictus

Politicians in this part of TX don't like common sense or facts.

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

you may only get to vote for one cong. member but you can support whomever you want. . .

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

for example since i live in DC my cong. member has no vote. . .so i also support a maryland and a virginia cong. member. . . and i get invited to their events

5:53 pm

invictus

I guess I'd rather antagonize those I don't support in hopes that they either come to their senses or quit.

5:54 pm

stidgmere

It is like trout in a stream, get rid of one big one and another swims into the same hole and simply looks after itself--just like congressmen and women.

5:55 pm

invictus

I still consider Nick Lampson my Congressman, even though he hasn't been for a while due to re-districting. I hate how they get to decide boundaries.

5:59 pm

invictus

I am getting tired of this pope garbage. Who cares? Ugh.

6:01 pm

crosshair

lol i am staying clear of the pope today.irritated enough people yesterday

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

yes redistricting is the next issue i want to work on. . .

6:01 pm

invictus

I don't care who I irritate. I'm irritated all day long... haha

6:01 pm

crosshair

lol

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

i want to be little mary sunshine. . . .

6:02 pm

invictus

Redistricting leaves most people without anyone who really represents their interests. Randy Weber doesn't give a crap about us in Beaumont, TX. He cares about the rich people in the suburbs of Houston.

6:03 pm

crosshair

now,if the pope ran in the next election,now that would be worth watching

6:04 pm

invictus

I'm an atheist. I just want to avoid religion as much as possible.

6:04 pm

stidgmere

I shall take my 104 words and go home now. First finished grid in a long while. Blessings on you all, sprinkling sunshine abundantly on jmc who will they distribute it as she sees fit.

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

crosshair

i am into rooster worship,invictus,a la jd sallanger

6:05 pm

stidgmere

ty jmc. Glad to be here at the same time of day to catch your news.

6:05 pm

invictus

As long as your rooster worship doesn't take over my newscast, whatever floats your boat!

6:06 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT stige...lol..just took a short nap...that's a hint it's time to take a break!!bbl

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

i am off to watch wheel of fortune and jeopardy. . .good to see you too stidg

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

bye all . . . bbl. . . .79 left. . . *poof*

6:06 pm

invictus

bye

6:07 pm

invictus

I have 22 left and I don't think there are more "real" words.

6:09 pm

MollyL

We should really be able to discuss current events, such as the pope selection, here without people getting their knickers in a wad.

6:13 pm

invictus

I don't see why people can't just ignore things they don't agree with, especially in chat format.

6:15 pm

LuwandaHL

hi everyone!!

6:15 pm

LuwandaHL

6:17 pm

invictus

They are gold-plated knickers.

6:20 pm

crosshair

poof

6:20 pm

invictus

I prefer people who do good because they are good people and not people who do good because they think they are going to hell if they don't. Besides, a true god wouldn't allow so many bad things to happen to good people.

6:38 pm

hego

Yeah! right!

6:38 pm

LuwandaHL

6:38 pm

Jillyjill

<---knows she is NOT ladylike...but hey, 33 years in nursing and almost 40 in the medical field...I own that word!

6:39 pm

Jillyjill

6:39 pm

uusue2

I'll bet hego uttered that one a lot during her knee rehab, if hers was anything like mine...

6:39 pm

hego

yes that is a very popular word with us. :)

6:40 pm

hego

Right Sue!! And worse.

6:41 pm

Jillyjill

My funny story was in a AF Commissary with my 3 year old. Big sale on tomatoe sauce...tried to get too many cans on one trip...they began falling...I said "Oh..(remembered where I was and stopped). Then a small voice in the cart finished it for me...

6:45 pm

Jillyjill

Second one was sitting on the stoop (in AF housing) with my best friend. Our boys were playing and mine grabbed something away from the other boy. I said "John you little sh4/5. My friend said "you shouldn't call your son that."....as her son ran up and said "Did you call me mom?"

6:47 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT hego!!

6:50 pm

LuwandaHL

Mine is, I was in a rush to feed my hungry 17 month old daughter. I dropped the tray to the highchair and said ... She just sat there quietly waiting for her food. I gave her her lunch and continued whatever I was doing. About 5 or 10 minutes she said her first sentence "Sh**, sh**, sh**, sh**, sh**." For the next week or so, she said the word every time I dropped something. Only for me not anyone else. I was mortified. I thought I was a terrible influence on my baby (obviously 1st child).

6:50 pm

LuwandaHL

yay hego!

6:54 pm

Good evening everyone!

9:06 pm

welki

9:06 pm

welki

i'm down to two foods that i 'must' have before i leave - an egg roll and a knish :)

9:07 pm

mkg

hi all. need clues for the 7 plesae.

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you get pastry?

9:07 pm

welki

hey, i meant to ask you - how'd you like that oyster, jm? (owl, did you have one?)

9:07 pm

welki

no, no pastry - pigged out on that cheese 'babka' - i'm done with sweets

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh wait - I understand knish but you can't get EGG ROLLS where you live?

9:08 pm

welki

they actually wrap them in dough and fry them

9:08 pm

welki

(but i will consider some apple turnovers from that shop - my son in law's favorite)

9:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, i did not. unfired fish was the big adventure of the evening. besides getiing OUT of NEw Brunswick, that is!

9:09 pm

welki

sorry you had problems getting out of there - but it was worth it, wasn't it?

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. it was not quite so easy on the reverse.

9:11 pm

mkg

hi all. anyone have a clue for the 7 leltter word?

9:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck, i took out all of the stuff to make soda bread and now am too tired to do so. what a day, repairman ould not find source of water around boiler but it is leaking again tonight.

9:12 pm

welki

(turn off the water to and disconnect the humidifer, if he didn't check it)

9:12 pm

welki

gn7 = grinds your teeth

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

it does not have one.

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i paid $86 to this guy

9:13 pm

welki

any chance it's seepage coming up through the floor?

9:14 pm

mkg

gn i have the five and looking for the seven

9:14 pm

welki

(there are many benefits to being married to an hvac guy)

9:14 pm

welki

make it plural, mkg

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is what he said but i feel dampness under one of the zone pumps

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is too coincidental to be seepage.

9:14 pm

welki

heck and i didn't charge you a dime!

9:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

:)

9:15 pm

welki

the dampness may be condensation

9:15 pm

mkg

ty got the gn 7. ty t y

9:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

he pointed out the "seepage" near the stairs, which was actually the bottle of basting oil that fell fromt he shelves and shattered all over the floor. basement smelled like garlic and herbs for weeks.

9:17 pm

welki

cold, damp air hitting the warm zone pump could cause dripping that looks like a leak. you'll know for certain when it goes, if it goes - no heat.

9:18 pm

welki

where'd jm go? *looking in the bag, looking in the other bag, looking in the OTHER bag, looking in the backpack - there she is! in the jacket pocket!*

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:49 pm

uusue2

are you home again?

9:51 pm

welki

no, not yet. i fly back early thursday morning. (and can tell you that, while i enjoy staying at the hotel, nights are long and boring - i miss my guy)

9:52 pm

uusue2

(((welki))) I bet he misses you too!

9:52 pm

welki

i can only hope :)

9:55 pm

welki

had a great day with the kids, though - youngest one (today's her birthday) drove up with her daughter, so i had a fun time with the grandchildren. i must have been a zombie when the kids were small - the little ones have SO much energy!

9:55 pm

uusue2

sounds like a great time was had by all!

9:55 pm

welki

jmc popped in a while ago, just said 'hi' and disappeared - hope she's okay

9:56 pm

uusue2

probably, she gets busy sometimes

9:56 pm

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

sorry i got distracted trying to set up a meeting. . .

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo uu!

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

i spent the evening reading case law and constitutional amendments and a good time was had by all. . . .

10:28 pm

welki

sounds like a blast, kiddo

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

different stokes. . . .

10:29 pm

welki

wasn't being facetious - i wouldn't mind some work, pretty boring here right now

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

do i sound too egotistical if i comment that i see holes in Mr Constitutional Laws work??

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

sorry i couldn't stay longer. . .

10:30 pm

welki

no worries - you gotta do what you gotta do

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

did sil like my beer?

10:30 pm

welki

iron clad case law is pretty rare, if it exists at all

10:30 pm

welki

yep, i think he's had about 4 of them already :)

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

it is a constitutional amendment he has proposed. . ..

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

10:32 pm

welki

will you be given an opportunity to present argument?

10:33 pm

welki

or oppose the amendment - or whatever the correct terminology is?

10:33 pm

welki

(or is this where your lobbying comes in?)

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

no this has to do with lobbying. . . i am meeting with staff of the person who is introducing the amendment and i want it to be the best possible amendment. . . and i think what Mr. Constitutional law wrote is flawed

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

(yep lobbying--you all know an evil lobbyist)

10:34 pm

welki

i knew i'd get it right eventually :)

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

haha

10:35 pm

welki

it's refreshing to hear that someone is so passionate about their work

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

i could only be more passionate if i were actually making money at it! haha

10:36 pm

welki

it'll come

10:37 pm

jmcnrick

i dreamed it did but i had no one to tell my dream to before breakfast :-(

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

10:39 pm

welki

when i went down for breakfast on sunday, the same gal asked where you were

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

that was sweet of her

10:41 pm

jmcnrick

1/2 way

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

i feel bad because i told JBV i was around in the mornings and i have had one of my stupid flips and i am back to being a night owl again :-(

10:43 pm

welki

you'll catch up with her - don't feel bad, people's schedules change like the weather

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

mine sure do. . .as sure as i set my life up to be a morning lark i become a night owl. . . and when i have everything set for the night owl routine. . . I become a morning lark again . . . :P

10:45 pm

welki

10:45 pm

welki

10:47 pm

mkg

10:47 pm

jmcnrick

what you get after the fire is gone

10:49 pm

welki

anyway, i'm off to bed - chasing after the grandchildren today took out what little wind was left in my sails (but it was great - brought one to a nice park for a runaround and then another joined us later on)

10:49 pm
