1:40 am

ChrissieDee

Not too bad rose. Back on half days first but did first full day onthursday and have been totally wiped out since. It's good to get the brain working and mixing with people again though. Thanks for asking rose.

1:41 am

grannyrose

good for you chrissie. know th4 feeling well. just rest as much as possible. are you going to attempt consecutive days yet?

1:42 am

Glantarell

NBT, NBS

1:42 am

grannyrose

yay glant

1:42 am

Glantarell

might have run out of steam LOL - about a third of the way through

1:44 am

ChrissieDee

Not yet. The plan for this week is 4 hlf days and a full day on Friday to give the w/e for sleping!

1:45 am

ChrissieDee

I don't have to do any solo site visits yet, so that's a relief.

1:45 am

Glantarell

what do you do, Chrissie?

1:45 am

ChrissieDee

Can I get a clue for the an8 please

1:46 am

ChrissieDee

Surveyor Glant

1:46 am

grannyrose

against + male star in movie

1:47 am

ChrissieDee

ty both

1:47 am

Glantarell

Guessing site visits can be physcally demanding. Good luck with your managed return.

1:48 am

ChrissieDee

Yes, thank you

1:48 am

grannyrose

chrissie, good to maintain shorter consecutive days. i had to re-educate myself to get up and get ready for work, day after day.

1:49 am

ChrissieDee

You do work long hours though rose

1:49 am

grannyrose

i then built on the shorter hours very gradually. had to be very strict with myself. still not doing a full shift, but am maintaining a 9 hour okay.

1:50 am

Glantarell

9 hours is more than most people's full shifts

1:50 am

grannyrose

forgive me, i forget sometimes, yes th4 are long hours, but i have done them for most of my life. it's the 'norm' for me. lol

1:51 am

ChrissieDee

At present I come home, have a light lunch, go to bed for a nap, then take the dog for a short walk. Full time will be a real shock!

1:52 am

ChrissieDee

Superwoman rose. ;)

1:52 am

grannyrose

slowly, slowly, chrissie. take little steps, sweetie. and as your strength returns, you will be able to work longer.

1:52 am

Glantarell

after my cancer treatments they brough me back on 6 hour days, which was fine until they changed my line manager who didn;t think it poor to ask me to drive an unneccessary 60 miles within that 6 hour day...

1:52 am

Glantarell

i was whacked on the driving days!

1:52 am

grannyrose

accckkk!! glant, you poor love.

1:52 am

ChrissieDee

I bet !

1:53 am

Glantarell

and she couldn't see that it only left me 4 hours to actually do any work so it was hard to get much odne

1:53 am

Glantarell

i ended up taking a grievance against her, and changed jobs shortly afterwards

1:53 am

grannyrose

ye4, you would just get in4 the swing, and it would be knock-off time.

1:54 am

ChrissieDee

Can I ask Glant, how long till you were fully fit again and what do you do?

1:54 am

Glantarell

but eventually I got all my stamina back

1:55 am

Glantarell

Fully fit - depends on how you judge that. I am probably still not fully fit, in the sense that if I don't take what I eat I get incredibly tired (and I don't always remember that until it happens LOL), but I was 80-90% well by a year after treatments

1:57 am

Glantarell

At that time I was a farm liaison officer - advising farmers of the rules of their EU farm subsidies and helping them complete their forms and assessing whether they were fraudulent or had made mistakes when things went wrong, but prior to that I'd been an education officer, and now I'm an education manager.

1:57 am

grannyrose

with you glant, on th4 one, only with me it is the analgesia. i usually remember when my back starts to ache. i try to space them so th4 i can take them again before bed.

1:57 am

Glantarell

I develop and manage learning activities in Welsh castles.

1:57 am

grannyrose

hence your icon, glant

1:58 am

Glantarell

If I hadn't been taking Anastrazole I woudl have recovered more quickly, the side effects held me back for a few years. Been totally off meds since 2011.

1:59 am

Glantarell

Now old age is starting to kick in and I'm slowly growing a collection of aches and pains LOL

1:59 am

ChrissieDee

Wow, what an interesting job you're in now. The EU role must have been a nightmare

1:59 am

grannyrose

wish i could come off my meds. :( tried it once, not a good idea.

2:00 am

Glantarell

The EU job was actually nice working with the farmers (once I'd gained their trust) bu I hated the paperwork LOL

2:00 am

Glantarell

Everybody told me when I went for it that the farmers would be hideous but they were nice to me - I guess you get back what you give out to some extent

2:01 am

ChrissieDee

Whatever gets you through the day rose

2:01 am

Glantarell

The current job was fabulous for the first 5 yars but it going downhill rapidly - getting paperwiork bound, seem to have to spend more time ticking boxes than actually doing my job these days

2:01 am

grannyrose

*wriggles in seat with happiness* can't wait to do my world tour. want to start in the UK, then 'flow' over europe, then the americas. but not until we have no responsibilities he4, though

2:02 am

ChrissieDee

That's a shame

2:02 am

Glantarell

You cna come stay with me Rose, I'll show you the best Welsh castles LOL

2:02 am

grannyrose

counting on it, glant, counting on it, hun

2:03 am

ChrissieDee

Nice to look forward to rose. Have you decided what you are doing during the upcoming respite period?

2:04 am

grannyrose

it's very strange, but neither himself or i have any desire to see the middle or far east countries.

2:05 am

Glantarell

I think I'd like to go see the rose red city of Petra in Jrdan

2:05 am

grannyrose

chrissie have one little away time booked. going up north a ways, to escape the bitter cold he4. a little town, called echuca. not so little now, but still nicely away from home.

2:05 am

Glantarell

went to Egypt once and was overwhelmed by the numbers of people and also lack of personal space and being pestered by beggars

2:07 am

grannyrose

have to admit, we both love the pacific islands. so our next big holiday may well be another cruise of the pacific.

2:07 am

Glantarell

dream holiday....

2:07 am

grannyrose

looovvveee cruising.

2:07 am

Glantarell

fiji, nauru, solomon islands, new Britain.... oooh...

2:09 am

grannyrose

2:09 am

Glantarell

2:10 am

Glantarell

2:12 am

ChrissieDee

Lovely to talk to you ladies, flitting out now, bbl

2:12 am

2:12 am

Glantarell

2:12 am

grannyrose

bye chrissie.

2:13 am

grannyrose

aww, glant. our cruise ship went right into milford sound. we had the most wonderful day th5.

2:15 am

Glantarell

i got stranded by the tide somewhere in milford sound, back in 1976 LOL

2:15 am

Glantarell

we had taken a lifeboat out to test the engine following repairs, beached it and went for a walk and were stunned to come back to find it high and dry

2:16 am

Glantarell

you'd think the 2nd and 3rd mates would have known better LOL. A nice NZ man in a small boat took me back to our ship while the en waited for the tide to come in...

2:17 am

grannyrose

rofl, oh no, really? what an experience!

2:18 am

Glantarell

yes, it was, because it was quite windy and the little boat didn't half go up nd down a lot LOL. I had to climb a 60 foot rope and wood ladder to get back onto the ship with wobbly legs LOL

2:20 am

grannyrose

omg, glad it was you and not me!!

2:21 am

Glantarell

and now I've realised I'm talking about the wrong place, it was south island NZ but in the sound off Lyttleton

2:22 am

Resting before doing some gardening.

1:50 pm

BzznBea

I'm trying to babble with an annoying 8 week old kitten on mt keyboard.

1:50 pm

Scrabbler

I am in Zone 4 so it is now a safe time to plant tomatoes, etc.

2:09 pm

I passed halfway so that is enough. Off to gardening.

2:21 pm

jmcnrick

bye scrabs

2:22 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

2:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello je

2:24 pm

jmcnrick

hi TO i was beginning to think everyone was in hiding

2:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

i only came out for you

2:25 pm

mklein

Scrabs, may I have permission to post the unanswered Prayer" on my facebook page?

2:26 pm

jmcnrick

well i am flattered i guess. . . i am sorry everyone is walking on eggshells these days. . .

2:27 pm

jmcnrick

i would think since it was written by a confederate soldier mklein it is in the public domain. . . .

2:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i seemd to have hurt my back

2:27 pm

mklein

Thanks. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes.

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

i just wish people would stop breaking eggs in here and then come in barefoot! Really everyone is too sensitive. . . .

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

i am sorry how di dyou hurt your back?

2:29 pm

jmcnrick

*starts sweeping up eggshells from floor of the chog*

2:29 pm

mklein

: >)

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

I haven't told a story in a long time and i think it is time to tell one. . . i had a friend in high school. we were very close . . .and then we went to different colleges. . . .

2:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don'tknow but it just happened

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

that is how i hurt mine too TO

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

since this was pre-email and facebook we lost touch with each other. . . and then I moved to DC. . .

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

I became a Quaker, got married, and had a kid. . .

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

but i never stopped asking friends if they knew about my friend from high school. . . .

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

one day a friend from Texas sent me an email with a ling to a newspaper article in a Houston Paper. . .

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

the article was about my friend and how hard her life had been. . .she was a single mother and he son had fallen in with the wrong crowd. . . .she went on to work with a Quaker organization on social justice issues. . .

2:35 pm

jmcnrick

I was so excited to find my friend again and tracked down her work number and the first thing out of my mouth was how it made me laugh to read the article. . . because i was going to say how it was odd that we both ended up single mothers and connected to Quakers and had struggled with her son. . . .

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

but she hung up on me and would never take my call again. . . i realized too late that the article was focused on the fact that her son had been killed in gun violence so she clearly felt i was very vicious in trying to express my joy. . . but it was joy in finding her to be her friend again. . .

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

I learned that day what i periodically have to relearn that people don't hear what is in our hearts and we don't hear what is in other people's hearts so we hurt ourselves and others by not assuming that the person talking had the best of intentions. . .

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

of course the path the hell is paved with good intentions. . .

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

so i will say here what i have said at meet ups and on facebook and here:

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

If you think someone is being rude you will hear rude things. . . but if you assume that they are either making a joke or something stupid just fell out of their mouths and they didn't mean what came out in the way you are hearing it you too can come dance with me in the chog. . .

2:40 pm

Matches

clur for the 9 please

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

and if they meant it to be rude they will be thwarted. . .

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

all i know is th9 matches

2:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

what prompted this?

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

*puts soap box back in the cupboard in the pb*

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

oh a series of comments in FB about rudeness and then the reaction in the chog over the last week. . . .

2:41 pm

Matches

that's the one I need

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

*looks for a ham sandwich in pb* i think i am stuck in he** for a while. . . .

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

i will look with you matches. . . .

that is a sad story, je. but when folks repeatedly take after a person thing or subject there is not room fro the benefit of the doubt.

2:47 pm

Soodle

'Lurker-winkling'......it could catch on.....

2:48 pm

9:01 pm

Dorens

i am too old for that. no time to myself... get into the hotel at 10:30 and have to get my kids settled... then the grid? and wake up call at 4:45. I don't know if I'll ever be the same. the 500 word was yesterday tho, and we returned friday nite. I think it was thursday's i couldn't finish. ah well, it is just a game

9:01 pm

rururocks

*prays for people that have my sense of humor*

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

9:02 pm

Dorens

8th grade trip to DC j. didn't you see me waving?

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

damn i saw someone but couldn't make out who it was. . . that was you?

9:03 pm

Dorens

i would say ru is the funniest of all though. don't want to give him a swollen head or anything, but he does keep us in stitches

9:03 pm

jmcnrick

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

someone want to hold my hand for nbt? I still need the fourth row O, the middle column T and the 4 column N

9:10 pm

rururocks

there isn't an o in the 4th row

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

first column fourth row. . .

9:11 pm

rururocks

the middle t is ta5 cards that tell your future

9:12 pm

tabbycat

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

9:13 pm

rururocks

that's it

9:13 pm

rururocks

ot + road material

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

ty ru

9:14 pm

tabbycat

I got that one and missed the other one for the longest time

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

it is strange how you can become completely blind to words. . .

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

and the fourth column N? please

9:15 pm

tabbycat

Leaving for a while and then coming back seems to help :-)

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

yes. . . sometimes. . . you saw the pl for the water animal?

9:15 pm

lynxxx

no6.21 neither one nor the ...... kinda

9:16 pm

lbdawger

no6, if it's not one thing it's ano**** minus the a

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

*hic*

9:17 pm

tabbycat

No...missed the water mammal entirely

9:17 pm

uusue2

hi all, could I get a hint for the lone t at the bottom of the middle column?

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

different o. . . that is what made that confusing

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

hi uu and congrats on the wedding. . .

9:18 pm

uusue2

thanks, jmc! We are very happy!

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

9:19 pm

uusue2

oh duh, thanks, jmc! nbt and nbs, finally!

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

wtg uu!

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

9:20 pm

tabbycat

Evidently it's just a variation

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

well i am off to write some notes to talk about to my new intern who is coming tomorrow. . .

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

9:29 pm

lynxxx

I am very very happy for you

9:30 pm

uusue2

thanks, lynxxx! There were other people taking pictures too so maybe there are some non-blurry ones.

9:32 pm

lynxxx

sorry - must dived into the grid as I must get some reading done ASAP....bye everyone

9:32 pm

uusue2

9:33 pm

9:35 pm

hi and bye, min, I am going to take some Claritin and go to bed - seem to be coming down with a cold. Sigh.

10:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

long time no chat, hunh? (hi all)

10:15 pm

Nef

hi Gwen. I didn't get time til now to do the grid (babysitting the grandson); first time here today.

10:16 pm

RoundBarn

I've been lurking, Gwen, so I'll say hi to you. Oh, Nef already has.

10:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

why, hello, lurkums! 8-)

10:17 pm

Nef

hi RoundBarn. I got your email but with the grandson here haven't had time to answer yet.

10:17 pm

RoundBarn

Nef, I've been figuring the Mlps trip--hear you had a terrific storm around 6 today--

10:18 pm

Nef

Actually, at this point I'm not even lurking; just passing through.... and seeing if anyone is here or not. :-)

10:18 pm

Nef

We did have a storm but we did okay here.

10:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nope, nobody is here, move along . . .

10:19 pm

Nef

how are you doing, Gwen?

10:19 pm

RoundBarn

My nephew-editor in Madison is going to be in Mongolia instead of Mlps so I'm finding someone else to drive--I could probably do it but Spfld to Mlps is a long way

10:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

meh, have a lingering cold (or something) and behind on all my bills (except the internet connection). anyone need me to find 'em a book? lol

10:21 pm

Nef

How far is it? I definitely think it's nice to have someone along for a trip....

10:22 pm

Nef

well, Gwen; I'd like to find stid's book list (wish list) over on Amazon and ask you to help find a book or 2 for her...

10:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mongolia?!

10:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it would be hard to help someone who already has a list on amazon, i mean, amazon is so huge and has so many vendors that if she can't find it there, it would be hard for me to find it (although not impossible)

10:23 pm

RoundBarn

I realized on the England trip--just back--that I've lost a lot of stamina from foot op, and gaining weight from little exercise--so I'm training for the mlps marathon. Gwen, I bet you have my books in your collection--you deal in used books, right? all mine are o.p except the northwestern ones and the more recent farm biog ones.

10:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i mean, there are still some bookdealers who do not list on amazon. they still have their pride LOL

10:26 pm

Nef

I totalled a car in 2006 driving back from Chicago about 100 miles east of St. Paul hitting a deer. Unfortunately, it was my daughter's prized Sebring convertible; (and I doubt she's ever forgiven me!) It's really nice to have someone along for company and support when I do road trips

10:26 pm

RoundBarn

mongolia: he works for National Geographic and is leading a group in Mongolia, then two later in the sumer to Yellowstone. I've never been to Y'stone so ought to go--maybe next go-round.

10:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cool! i don't known about mongolia but i bet it's at least as cool as yellowstone

10:26 pm

gapeach

Sue if you are still here.....I just looked at your lovely pictures.....they show such a happy couple. Lovely lady and a handsome dude too. So happy for you both.

10:26 pm

Nef

Gwen; I can't find her list there. I'd order from you; but I still don't know any books she wants.

10:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks for trying, though, nef 8-)

10:27 pm

Nef

hi peach!

10:29 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Nef. How are you this evening?

10:29 pm

RoundBarn

Gwen, do you have Paleface Redskins? that's the one I get asked for most, my nephew says we should put it on the net electronically, it's so expensive second hand I can't buy it. All my others are cheap.

10:30 pm

Nef

I like small bookstores. We have a few left around here that I should visit since it's been a while.

10:30 pm

RoundBarn

When I lived in Mlps that 6 months, we went to the small bookstores.

10:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

please be aware, i have only about 5,000 books for sale. however, i can also do a book search, in which you give me a title and a price limit (and any other factors, such as hardcover only) and I report back if I can find the book, then you agree to buy it, then i get it for you

10:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

roundbarn, you speak as though you are a bookdealer or an author, i can't tell

10:31 pm

Nef

Peach; we've had the grandson for the past several days and it was a busy work week for me last week. I'm ready for a day off; but it won't happen this week.

10:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

also, can you tell me if paleface redskins is nonfiction or what?

10:32 pm

RoundBarn

thanks for that info. Palefaces is so non p.c. that nobody would reprint it.

10:32 pm

godthaab

Book doctor, how do I get hold of you?

10:32 pm

Nef

she's an author, Gwen

10:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

click on my icon, which will get you to my profile, which has my url, which has my contact info

10:32 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

10:33 pm

Nef

hi Liz!

10:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

roundbarn, okay, but fiction or nonfiction?

10:33 pm

godthaab

Got it. Thanks

10:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thank you, too, godthaab

10:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(looking up paleface redskins, brb)

10:34 pm

gapeach

Nef, please try to pace yourself until you can get some "down" time. I'll be sending.

10:34 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Liz.

10:35 pm

godthaab

I am looking for some hard to find books. We'll be in touch.

10:35 pm

RoundBarn

Gwen, I'm an author (and a retired prof)--have 14 books. One more to go on my "life work"--the barn biogs. My daughter has made a good websire dalled roundbarnstories. Not a memoir. I'm in the book occsaionally as a character participating in events. I told my grampa I'd write him a book--when I was fifteen--and this is it. Vol 3 to come.

10:36 pm

Nef

Thanks, peach. I have a bunch of cleaning and laundry and some work for tomorrow, and then we'll be at DH's retired Federal Employees state convention; so I'm not overdoing it; just hustling to get ready to go and attend meetings and return by Thursday night.

10:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

looked up the book and it is not common. about $50 and up. OY

10:38 pm

RoundBarn

yes--the others are reasonable but this one hit a chord with readers and they want it for their kids and grandkids. I only have the ones put away for my grandkids.

10:39 pm

Nef

I've been reading your site, RoundBarn and am anxious to read your books. I always feel like a traitor when I get them from the library; but right now I can't afford to buy one right now.

10:40 pm

RoundBarn

And I haven't said hi to all you entering. Hi, all. I usually lurk, you all know eachother so well. I'm beginning to know Nef and Sue Willis and I notice many of you--wonder how Soodle is doing after her bad electric shock a little while ago.

10:41 pm

Nef

Soodle got a shock? What was she doing?

10:41 pm

RoundBarn

Nef, I'll bring you gift books of the ones in print.

10:42 pm

gapeach

Need to check my emails......bbl

10:42 pm

RoundBarn

she was messing with an electric water heater and got thrown across the room.

10:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's not good!

10:43 pm

Nef

No, RoundBarn, I'm going to have some $$$ after we sell Aunt Jean's condo this summer. I'm a bit short on $$ because we fixed our kitchen and then decided to do some stuff to update the condo a bit.

10:44 pm

Nef

YIKES!. I did that once as a kid and have been very careful ever since with electricity.

10:44 pm

RoundBarn

Nef, what you do is get the libraries to buy them. That's a great help. and Gwen, a lot of my books are fiction, but the barn books are creative non-fiction.

10:45 pm

RoundBarn

And for adults, though there are parts kids will like.

10:46 pm

DR1965

hi babble land

10:47 pm

Nef

Hi DR

10:47 pm

RoundBarn

hi, DR

10:48 pm

Nef

How are you doing tonight, DR?

10:49 pm

RoundBarn

when I got down here to central Illinois I found people say hey insted of hi.

10:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hey!

10:51 pm

Nef

I'm confused; why would people say Hey instead of Hi?

10:51 pm

DR1965

nice to see everyone

10:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

dialect!

10:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some people say "yo" or "howdy" or any number of things 8-)

10:53 pm

Nef

Oh! (DUH, didn't think about dialect; all I could think of was when we say "hey")

10:54 pm

DR1965

Sorry- Nef- I was in the phone- I am good... just tiredof running around with my budding actor

10:55 pm

stidmama

hey all -- did the actor-boy have a decent day? did you?

10:55 pm

RoundBarn

signing off is sometimes a problem--cheers? ta ta? etd anyway I gotta get to bed tmr's a work day--I haven't come close to finishing a rid yet, these bigger ones are as hard as thosw tiny ones several days ago. I may improve. There was a guy a few week ago who did one in 4 minutes. The babblers were almost speechless. Cheers.

10:55 pm

DR1965

He is TIRED and his infected toe is gross but all in all it was a good day after this morning

10:56 pm

DR1965

thanks for asking

10:56 pm

stidmama

sorry about the toe

night, roundbarn!

10:57 pm

Nef

niters, RoundBarn. Stay well!

10:57 pm

DR1965

bye roundbarn

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

stid! how are you today?

10:57 pm

stidmama

one of my best "doctor mom" moments was when one of the boys had dropped a heavy drawer on his foot and smashed the toenail. Needed to lance through the toenail to relieve pressure. Pretty interesting to talk to a nurse over the phone for how to do it... *science-mama look*

10:58 pm

Nef

hi stid!

10:58 pm

DR1965

OUCH! That sounds painful

10:58 pm

RoundBarn

I'll stay on long enough to say you're one of the babblers I watch, Stidmama--felt bad abt your fire, and glad at your resilience

10:58 pm

stidmama

I am well, Bugs -- LOVE the tea, using it in my tall mug when I teach this month. :-)

10:59 pm

stidmama

thanks roundbarn -- feeling more resilient today than some, but I know eventually we will be through to the other side and things will be "okay" again.

10:59 pm

stidmama

It was painful UNTIL I lanced it, then with the pressure gone the kiddo was fine.

10:59 pm

Bugsaw

I am so glad you are enjoying it. When your new home is ready I have something else for you, not practical just beautiful.

11:00 pm

Bugsaw

I am suprised your boy would let you near his toe stid. Mine wud have pitched such a fit at the thot it could hurt more

11:00 pm

stidmama

impractical will be PERFECT, bugs -- I am having to be SO practical with all these decisions, and I am not as you know a very practical person.

11:01 pm

Nef

stid, did they have you heat a paper clip and poke a hole through the nail? I had to do that to myself when I smashed my thumb; not fun; but was really a relief afterwards.

11:02 pm

Bugsaw

I think you are amazingly practical! Your teaching aprons for instance. I had one when I worked with the little ones who needed lots of visual cues.

11:02 pm

stidmama

Well, it was either that or the 45 minute drive to the doctor's office, and he wanted that less and yes, net, that was it! :-) the heat melts the keratin (no additional pressure needed and it was like a mini yellowstone!

11:02 pm

Bugsaw

oooh Nef. I guess I would rather have a hot pin than a drill of some sort

11:03 pm

DR1965

My kid is soaking it on his own. WOnt let me near it

11:04 pm

Bugsaw

what did he do DR? I missed that part

11:04 pm

stidmama

epsom salts is my family's favorite way to deal with localized infections

11:04 pm

DR1965

I don't know Bugs! I think it was an ingrown that he picked at.

11:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(reading and thinking ewwww)

11:06 pm

DR1965

We are using epsom salts and hydrogen peroxide and antibiotic bandaids... and YES GWEN--- it is EWWWW

11:06 pm

Bugsaw

Yuck. My first husband had that when he was a kid and it grew all funny after that. It must have been 1/4 " thick. Tell him not to pick in case it happens to him.

11:07 pm

Nef

I hate dealing with ingrown toenails.

11:07 pm

DR1965

I will Bugs!

11:07 pm

DR1965

so do I Nef! he will survive though ... I promise

11:09 pm

DR1965

We saw the musical Zombie Prom today. I had some good music

11:13 pm
