jillibus
no, flosey -- Friday is a busy day here. I can't remember who went.
1:11 am
sprite
it went ok. The group is nice. Kind people who listen to eachother and try to help eachother. Bit of fun too, we have laughed together as well.
Therapy is very very intensive and confrontational. Could barely manage. But muddled through and I guess next time will be a little less daunting.
1:11 am
flosey
does anyone have a clue for re7 and 8? please?
1:11 am
grannyrose
flosey, to go in again
1:12 am
flosey

1:16 am

1:17 am
grannyrose
yw joso
1:17 am
sprite
yeah, told myself about the same thing. Worst was there was a fight between our group and the other one, right after lunch... triggered all my ptsd shit. But that is how we learn, right? ;)
1:17 am
jillibus
don't beat yourself up, sprite. You needed that release of a binge eat.
1:17 am
grannyrose
sprite. i understand, truly i do. after doc's appointment this AM i needed a fix too.
1:18 am
joso
ah sprite, gotta fail sometime, just as long as you keep getting back up on the horse

sprite
thanks all :)
1:18 am
sprite
how did the appt go, rose?
1:19 am
grannyrose
i'm off for a further 2 weeks. independent doc's report was there. he has told workcover quite emphatically that i am not allowed to work, even in a sedentary job.
1:20 am
Lizlin
Sorry Rose. Missed that you had an appt. That sounds good.
1:20 am
joso
hehehe, I like that rose
1:21 am
grannyrose
he did tell me that was what he was going to tell the insurers. but you have to take that with a grain of salt. but true to his word, he came through for me.
1:21 am
jillibus
Oh good, rose -- you've deserved that rest from work.
1:22 am
jillibus
and nbt at last, having had nbs ages ago
1:22 am
sprite
oh very good, rose! Am so happy someone is taking your situation seriously at least
1:22 am
Lizlin
That's good too - perhaps this whole mess is finally going to be sorted.
1:22 am
grannyrose
my doc. has also given me a light sedative, to see if i can manage a full night's slepp
1:22 am
sprite
sleep is the best healer. I hope it does the trick.
1:23 am
grannyrose
yay, jilli.
1:23 am
Lizlin
Hope it works - along with knowing no work for at least 2 weeks and with no other responsibilities at the moment - you can really take care of yourself!
1:23 am
sprite
good job, jilli
1:23 am
Lizlin
WTG Jilli :)

grannyrose
LOLOL, joso
1:25 am
jillibus

1:26 am
rururocks
9 hours is most of a day
1:27 am
Lizlin
I also need my sleep - get pretty ratty if I don't get enough!
1:27 am
grannyrose

1:27 am
jillibus
I have another brag tonight which flosey will appreciate -- in bridge we came second to Mr Flosey and beat Jeff and Nancy -- gave them a hard time. (They are real experts).
1:27 am
Lizlin
OMG! Could never manage on 3 hours sleep!
1:27 am
Lizlin

defensive bridge can be fun if you don't go to sleep looking at 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 points all night. With a passing partner.
1:32 am
joso
squeezing that last ounce out of bad cards is so challenging, you only really see the reults in duplicate

4:50 am

4:53 am

5:10 am
puglet
this happen several years ago,but I laughed so hard over it.----But the MIL went to get their tube of luberant before their making out and got the ben-gay by mistake and set them both on fire
5:11 am
grannyrose
oh, dear....poor darlings....
5:11 am
puglet

5:12 am
grannyrose
have just watched a program which said the us of a government are telling governmental employees that they have to work for no remuneration. is this true?
5:13 am
puglet
yes, they got a big thing going on
5:13 am
grannyrose
so unfair, how are they supposed to live?
5:13 am
puglet
hopefully it wont last long
5:14 am
puglet
they dont think of things like that Rose
5:15 am
grannyrose
what is the government hoping to achieve?
5:15 am
ivesy3
its true... but the pres. and congress still get paid.
5:15 am
puglet
they are even shutting off wick--which supplies food for preg. mothers and children
5:16 am
crosshair
i see the us gov is pulling a stupid
5:16 am
ivesy3
they really should be ashamed of themselves.. with their high salaries.. making it worse for us poor people who are trying to survive.
5:16 am
grannyrose
so typical of all governments. if our politicians would give half their income back, we would be able to feed and house some many people.
5:17 am
ivesy3
they have way too much power.
5:17 am
ivesy3
i heard one congressman was even bragging about how he ws going to shut down the govern.
5:18 am
grannyrose
i wish they would all put their money where their mouth is...povery solved.
5:18 am
ivesy3
in a heartbeat rose. thats all it would take
5:19 am
crosshair
let me see if i have theis right.the new health care plan there was passed twice,but a few got people still did not like it so they are shutting the entire thing down,putting 800,000 people out of work and the last time this happened(for 20 days) in the 90,s it cost them 7 billion to start it all up again
5:19 am
puglet
its all over medical insurance is what I get from it
5:20 am
crosshair
get universal health care like the rest of the first world countries on the planet and move on
5:20 am
ivesy3
they dont want obama care. i dont really claim to understand this plan.but so many people cant afford health ins. . i was lucky. i still have it thru my former employer bcuz i had so much sick time to cover it
5:20 am
puglet
the health care here is so costly
5:21 am
grannyrose
crossy, all income earners in australia, pay a levy each year at taxation time. this supposedly funds our 'fr4' health.
5:21 am
ivesy3
omg yes pug.. people at 65 get medicare and still have to pay for a suplemental.
5:21 am
crosshair
as do we,granny.we pay at tax time and everyone is covered
5:22 am
ivesy3
my understanding is when i turn 65 they take $100 rite out of my soc. sec check.
5:22 am
crosshair
nothing is free,but everyone should be covered
5:22 am
grannyrose
anyone on the aged pension gets fr4 health care, as do people on disability pensions.
5:22 am
puglet
and what gets me is there is one price for the ones with insurance and another for thoses with out
5:23 am
ivesy3
not here.. those politicians should have to live on what we do as far as income
5:23 am
puglet
there are just some who couldnt afford to lose even that small amount
5:24 am
grannyrose
absolutely, ives. it's like josephine saying...let them eat cake!
5:25 am
crosshair
well.they have to come back by the 17th to raise your ebt ceiling anyways
5:25 am
ivesy3
what i make on soc. security doesnt even pay my bills!. but make to much for assistance. when i c what the people that come into the library get it makes me sick. free housing, free food.. and a nice amout of cash every month.
5:26 am
ivesy3
and they cant speak english... o dont get me started lol!
5:26 am
puglet
when my sister was on her own she got 31 dollars for food a month
5:27 am
ivesy3
jason gets nothing for cash .. and he has to be on the work for welfare prog.. which i support fully. but most of them dont do it and they dont touch them
5:28 am
ivesy3
i am all for helping those in need, but the county i live in is actutally advertised in other states to come and live here to get welfare! no lie
5:29 am
crosshair
think that is bad? we thought for a while that all your politicians were going to move to canada the way they were going on!
5:29 am
puglet
what really burns me is these families with several kids and draws a huge amount of food stamps and then sells some to someone to buy their booze and drugs
5:30 am
ivesy3
could yu take them crossy ...plz??
5:30 am
grannyrose
when my kids, all 3 of them, were suicidal, i quit my 45K/year job, and went on the sole parents pension of $7000/year. to this day, i don't know how i managed. i was paying off the bank loan for the house, paying all the household bills, fed, clothed and educated 3 growing boys..wh5 my d******d of an ex decided he couldn't afford to pay anything towards the upbringing of his kids...
5:30 am
crosshair
noooo ty.we have our own to look after
5:30 am
puglet
yeah I second that ivesy
5:31 am
ivesy3
oh pug that is rampant. .do u know some of them get over %400 cash .. thats besides the rent and food stamps.. oh and if u hve a car u could donate to them that would be nice
5:32 am
grannyrose
it's crazy, ives
5:32 am
puglet
I know and if you arnt carefull they will take your home too
5:32 am
ivesy3
oh granny .. we do what we have do to dont we..sometimes i look back and dont know how i ged jason.and clothed him
5:32 am
ivesy3
thats fed..lol
5:33 am
crosshair
ahh. i see that despite the gov shut down they will keep paying the military..well at least they can keep blowing shit up
5:33 am
ivesy3
yes... have to keep the wars going crossy.
5:33 am
puglet
our country waste so much
5:33 am
grannyrose
isn't strange...defense is counted as an essential service.
5:34 am
ivesy3
so i imagine the price of everything will go up now
5:35 am
crosshair
well it will cost billions and billions when it comes time to restart it all and guess who pays for that?
5:35 am
puglet
yeah, now the gas companies will use this as a reason to jack up its price
5:35 am
ivesy3
prob already have pug..
5:36 am
crosshair
we would line up for days for your gas prices.sorry puglet
5:36 am
puglet
its 3.29 right now here
5:36 am
ivesy3
yea crossy is rite on that one. our gas still isnt as high as the other countries.
5:36 am
crosshair
ours atm is roughly $5.20 a U.S gallon
5:37 am
crosshair
1.30 a litre
5:37 am
ivesy3
its 3.71 here.. ahh ny state
5:37 am
crosshair
sounds cheap to me
5:37 am
crosshair
and that is how we pay for our "free" health care
5:38 am
puglet
I wont be surprice if it jacks up to that here soon
5:38 am
crosshair
i would rather pay more gas/booze tax than lose my home if i get ill however
5:39 am
crosshair
it is all a trade off
5:43 am
puglet
Iam going to brk from this and begin chores for the day. Hope E1 enjoys their day/evening. Bye friends& hugs
5:43 am
crosshair
of course it is good timing to shut down the us government now that way they will know how much to raise the debt ceiling come oct 17th..tc puglet
5:44 am
crosshair
i hope cooler heads will prevail for all of you very fast
5:44 am
grannyrose
bye pugs, hope you have a good day. see you at the flip
5:46 am
grannyrose
once, a few years ago, we had a mass boycott of the fuel stations, as a protest to the rising price of fuel. brought the price down for a little wh5. am thinking we need to do it again
5:47 am
crosshair
granny.i was in the petroleum business for 30 years.i could sit you down and talk to you about it for 2 hours and at the end of it all, it still would make no sense
5:49 am
grannyrose
crossy, if the supermarkets here can offer you fuel at 8 cents off per litre if you buy $100 or more of products from them...just how much of a mark up are we paying?
5:49 am
crosshair
you know what most local operators make on petrol? 1 cent a litre.yup one cent a litre.they rest they have to make up in the convienience store and pray they sell a lot of gas(15,000 litres or more a day)
5:50 am
crosshair
big box stores that have pumps ae different.they use fuel as a loss leade to get you in to buy groceries
5:50 am
crosshair
loss leader*
5:51 am
grannyrose
that's not good business, surely.
5:51 am
crosshair
think of box box store with pumps like wal-marts.they kill off the little mom and pop stores
5:52 am
crosshair
it is,actually,granny they sell the fuel at 1 or 2 cent margin and make it up in the store,whereas the regular stations need 8 cents a litre or make it up in their little convenience store
5:53 am
crosshair
at the last station i an,i would rather sell you a quart of oil than fill up your gas tank
5:53 am
grannyrose
hmmm, i still think it stinks...lol
5:53 am
crosshair
like i said,there are so many varriables it would make yer head spin
5:54 am
grannyrose
already doing it, crossy.
5:54 am
crosshair
at my last station i made 50 cents filling up your car,but made 85 cents selling you a quart of oil
5:55 am
crosshair
or a bag of crisps.for most.gas is just to get you in and we pray you buy something else
5:56 am
grannyrose
so people like me who only buy fuel are a plague?
5:56 am
crosshair
not a plague.gas generates traffic.traffic going through your store sells merchandise.
5:57 am
crosshair
when was the last time you saw a gas station without some kind of store attached to it?
5:57 am
grannyrose
have to admit, when DH and i are touring around on holiday, we do tend to be a tad more generous, and buy drinks etc when we stop for fuel.
5:58 am
crosshair
if you only ever buy fuel and nothing else,not so much as a quart of oil or a jug of windshield washer fluid,then yes,we lose on you as a customer
5:58 am
crosshair
you buy a chocolate bar and a a drink would make the person happier than the gas.trust me
5:59 am
crosshair
but sying that,we must still sell gas or the gas company shuts us down
5:59 am
grannyrose
if the store is running a special, and it is a good price, we will buy stuff.
6:00 am
crosshair
you must move so much gas a year or they will put someone in that station who will
6:00 am
grannyrose
we shop together all the time, so even DH is aware of prices.
6:00 am
crosshair
it is a tight rope we walk
6:01 am
grannyrose
and the independent gas station owners? how do they make a living? as they try to undercut the big companies.
6:01 am
crosshair
even harder then
6:02 am
crosshair
i know oe independant that save 500 a week by having his truck permit and he goes to the terminals to get his own fuel instead of having the company deliver it
6:02 am
crosshair
and you work family instead of hiring people
6:02 am
crosshair
and live on site if you can
6:03 am
grannyrose
ahhh, so that is how they do it? i thought they all looked similar..lol
6:03 am
crosshair
there are so many varriables..it is staggering
6:05 am
crosshair
the perfect customer waits till they need a full tank and buys a drink every time
6:05 am
rubyfoo
back. I tend to eat only enough to keep the wolves from the door, ut last night, was starving at 10PM o I mad myself an egg sandwich and was forced to share it with my two huge dogs!
6:05 am
crosshair
that way we made 50 cents filling your car and 50 cents - a dollar on your drink
6:05 am
crosshair
((ruby))
6:06 am
grannyrose
lol...well the full tank need is me....not the drink. i carry bottles of water in the car...
6:06 am
grannyrose
hey ruby....i'm still here
6:07 am
crosshair
and 15,000 litres a day minimum or they shut you down
6:08 am
