2:31 am

joso

jezz rose, do you have "well g'day sir joso...your harem awaits your pleasure..." hot keyed

2:31 am

sprite

glad to see you all

2:32 am

puglet

I second that!

2:32 am

grannyrose

oh yeah, joso...lol....you wouldn't know you were alive, unless i greeted you like that...or would you?

2:33 am

joso

you make me feel like I should run around grabbing at boobies

2:34 am

sprite

and the problem with that is?

2:34 am

grannyrose

whatever turns you on, mate....

2:34 am

joso

wich would be my defalt greeting if it didn't upset so many people and get me tossed in the klink

2:34 am

sprite

:D

2:35 am

grannyrose

roflol...

2:36 am

joso

not that i have any way of knowing that for a fact..

2:36 am

sprite

we'll come and bail you out

2:36 am

grannyrose

found, so7, not descriptive of me, as i have 3 sons

2:37 am

joso

you 3 would have so much fun on the road trip you would forget to actually bail me out

2:37 am

grannyrose

sprite, sooo much more dramatic to visit him in the klink, with a cake with a file in it...lol

2:37 am

sprite

well that would be a real risk, true

2:38 am

sprite

am all for that, rose.

2:38 am

puglet

why bail him out? Hes looking for a new home and job--so there you go--free housing at that

2:38 am

sprite

lolllll pug!

2:39 am

grannyrose

mind you, we could use a plastic file...not very usable, but not detectable by metal detectors.

2:39 am

puglet

and its possible he might find a partner there too!

2:40 am

grannyrose

yeah, joso...free bed and board...what more could you ask for???

2:40 am

puglet

Rose, you could bake some of your piano wire in the cake

2:40 am

sprite

I think they keep the boys and girls in separate prisons, pug. Not too many good boobies in the male department.

2:40 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL...pugs!!! naughty girl....

2:41 am

puglet

Well I have seen some pretty good boobies on some --------

2:42 am

sprite

*grin*

2:42 am

joso

let's see, pug wants to travel, so she would go to oz first, to pick up rose, and see a few sights while there, then a short dogleg to the nethwelands, no doubt vie the riviera, rome, paris and a few other stops. then you all need a rest, gradually it becomes, JoSo who...

2:42 am

sprite

never, joso. You would be all we talked about.

2:43 am

grannyrose

of course, sprite, he is our lord and master, right?

2:43 am

sprite

exactly.

2:43 am

puglet

yeah, hes the rooster in the henhouse

2:44 am

joso

see see, you've already thought of 5 reasons to skip canada on your world tour

2:44 am

grannyrose

ROFLOLOL... oh, joso...you are sooo over-whelmed...

2:44 am

sprite

no, never skip. Postpone maybe. But perhaps after we return from venice...

2:45 am

grannyrose

and florence.....

2:46 am

joso

The fellow who thought a harem was a good Idea had not practical experience with women

2:46 am

grannyrose

don'tforget we have to drop in on the us of a.....all those babblers to see and meet.

2:47 am

sprite

we could rationalise it by saying we are gathering a force to break joso out of prison

2:47 am

grannyrose

just what are you saying, joso? you can't handle a room full of females?

2:47 am

joso

and start your Canada tour in BC so you could pick up flosey, who would want to see all the things you are talking about.

2:47 am

grannyrose

and jilli...

2:48 am

sprite

joso is amazing, holding his own with us all going bad ladies on him :)

2:49 am

grannyrose

mmmmm. btw, himself actually slept beside me last night. the first time in 3 weeks. i was so relieved...slept properly , holding his hand.

2:49 am

puglet

We would look like a nursing home on a riot! lol

2:50 am

sprite

oh wow, that is good news. So there is improvement on the coughing front.

2:50 am

joso

Great, so his cough is slowly easing up

2:50 am

sprite

lol pug

2:50 am

puglet

ahh, thats nice Rose. So I take it his coughing is slacking off

2:51 am

puglet

seems like all our mind works about the same

2:51 am

grannyrose

yes, finally. it is easing off. but don't want to go near either of the mothers until we get the all clear from the pertussis tests.

2:51 am

sprite

very smart, rose. Let it heal up further first.

2:51 am

puglet

dont blame you there

2:53 am

joso

10 years later, having served my full term, I stumble out of prison into the just arriving travelling women of babble party.

2:53 am

grannyrose

2:53 am

sprite

just in time for you, joso :)

2:54 am

joso

2:54 am

grannyrose

joso...and get smothered in hugs and kisses...

2:54 am

puglet

2:54 am

sprite

2:54 am

joso

grannyrose

joso, she is in one of our major teaching hospitals, private wing.

2:55 am

sprite

well good for him, pug. Feeling proud is what he needs.

2:55 am

joso

I ment in the same town

2:55 am

sprite

crossy wouldn't leave without you, joso.

2:55 am

puglet

Is your mother and the MIL in the same room?

2:56 am

joso

mixed feelings of pride pug.

2:56 am

sprite

lol pug

2:56 am

grannyrose

pugs, two different hospitals, thank goodness..in one way.

2:57 am

joso

the moms don't get on?

2:58 am

grannyrose

my brother and his wife are running around for my mother. well, duh. where were they 4 years ago, when i was nearly mental with all the demands from her?

2:58 am

puglet

have they ever met

2:58 am

sprite

very good, rose. Justice there. Let them find out how it is. You are not available.

2:59 am

grannyrose

joso, my mother, when she was here post-op, in this house, tried to take over the management of mother mac's care..with disastrous results.

2:59 am

sprite

omg you actually had her in your house? My dear rose... *hugs* Not at all healthy for you.

2:59 am

puglet

Rose what did your mother do in the line of work

3:00 am

grannyrose

my mother was constantly making mother mac cups of tea...and mother mac is on restricted fluids. *sigh*

3:00 am

joso

so everybody knows how to deal with mother mac better than you do, at least in their own minds

3:01 am

grannyrose

pugs, apart from a few years serving behind a counter in a local store and a newsagency, my mother worked in a bank, until she maried my dad.

3:02 am

puglet

I would like your guys imput on a mater---I had a talk with my sister and she feels like giving up and is depressed a little. We talked and things have gotten better right now. Should I bring this up to her doctor the next visit or try helping her get over this spell.

3:02 am

joso

poor old mother mac, everyones nursing experiment

3:02 am

grannyrose

yeah, joso..now you understand why i lose the plot...except for mother mac and DH, everyone thinks they know how to look after her.

3:03 am

sprite

always bring it up with the doctor too, pug. Very important info for a doctor.

3:03 am

grannyrose

as sprite says, always tell her treating physician.

3:04 am

puglet

I just hate that he might add more meds for her to take

3:05 am

joso

yes pug, bring it up, there is such a thing as clinical depression, caused by chemical changes in the brain, probably not that, but if it is you will make no headway without clinical help.

3:06 am

sprite

if she needs them, pug, she should take them. They might help her feel better.

3:06 am

puglet

thank you guys==I will bring it up

3:07 am

sprite

yvw pug *hugs*

3:08 am

gran

How many words today please

3:08 am

sprite

245, gran

3:08 am

grannyrose

245, gran. good luck

3:08 am

gran

Thanks - any lists posted?

3:09 am

grannyrose

gran? you never stay to chat. where in the world are you?

3:09 am

joso

before you give her anything the doc say, do some internet research, a GP may not know all he needs to, can't hurt to ask knowledgeable questions. My bet is that there is no severe problem, I think your sister has just cause to feel down, and it is normal. but well worth a check.

3:09 am

gran

Scotland

3:09 am

grannyrose

list in volleydeemom's profile

3:09 am

joso

copy of dee's list in my profile gran

3:10 am

grannyrose

when i eventually come over, would like to look you up.

3:10 am

puglet

I just think some doctors gives too much meds to a person

3:10 am

sprite

also ask the pharmacist about the combination of medicines. Sometimes another cocktail works better.

3:11 am

puglet

I will Sprite

3:11 am

sprite

depends on the doctor, pug. Mine isn't too eager to prescribe. Only when necessary.

3:11 am

joso

so did you notice lickey showed up at about 10:00 pm babble time

3:12 am

grannyrose

gran, my ancestors are from the highlands.

3:12 am

sprite

no

3:12 am

puglet

she already takes meds for--gout,blood pressure,mind,sugar and thyrod

3:12 am

joso

and some doc's are heavily influenced by drug companies, worth being warry of.

3:13 am

grannyrose

hopefully, pugs, her pharmacist is keeping track on the computer.

3:14 am

joso

Got a friend with gout, he says the meds on that are a wonder, no meds great pain, meds, all well

3:14 am

sprite

all necessary, pug. Sometimes another med is just what helps. I know for myself... I already had citalopran for the mind. Then I got mirtazapine added to the mix and it was like an epiphany. Within a week (!) I could feel the change. Much more clear head, more energy, not as depressed.

3:14 am

sprite

my husband has gout but nothing really helps.

3:15 am

puglet

some years ago she was going to a mental clinic and her regular doctor and the two were not on the same page with her care and she was like a walking zoombe.(this was when she was on her own living)

3:15 am

sprite

yeah that can be tough, doctors who don't work together.

3:18 am

puglet

after the home nurse found her on the floor in her apartment, that was it--I took her in. We dont know how long she was there. That when I quit working to care for her

3:18 am

sprite

you are amazing, pug.

3:20 am

puglet

nah, just doing whats right. But I try to help her to have as much self dependent as possible

3:21 am

sprite

I will repeat myself... you ARE amazing. So beautiful and you don't see it yourself. So let it in, hun. Not many people would do what you do.

3:22 am

puglet

well, thanks Sprite

3:25 am

puglet

Iam down to 99

3:25 am

sprite

nice going, pug

3:25 am

puglet

have you three got your fws?

3:26 am

grannyrose

i have, dear.

3:26 am

sprite

no, am at about the same spot as you

3:26 am

sprite

yayyyyy rose!

3:26 am

puglet

congrats Rose!

3:26 am

grannyrose

yay, pugs, well done, hun

3:26 am

grannyrose

awww, shucks!!! thanx

3:27 am

puglet

thanks Rose

3:27 am

joso

my friend is using colchicine sprite, if that helps. he says he was using another one, that was more effective but it had a side effect, about 1 time in 10,000, every time you took it, it killed all your bone marrow.

3:28 am

sprite

rob has colchicine as well, joso. And something else. Can't remember the name right now. That thing with the bone marrow sounds really serious.

3:29 am

grannyrose

not a good side effect, joso

3:29 am

puglet

I hope I brought a smile to E1 with the invite to the cook out--lol

3:30 am

grannyrose

oh, lol, pugs, was so lovely...

3:30 am

sprite

lol pug... I was thinking, here I am trying to eat healthy and all and there is an invite to a bbq :D We will have to do lots of salads and some fish, ok?

3:30 am

joso

my friend says he was taking it for 5 years before this little glitch showed up, he says if it or the gout pain were his only choices, he would take it, but moved to the weaker one.

3:31 am

puglet

thats just fine Sprite

3:31 am

sprite

scary, joso. Quite a glitch. I think I would rather take colchicine too. But the pain is intense, that is for sure.

3:32 am

puglet

My grandfather, dad and two sisters has and had gout. My grandfather,dad and one sister has the really bad kind(with the knots )

3:33 am

joso

sorry, he can't remember the name of the other one at the moment.

3:33 am

puglet

my two sisters got their while in grade school

3:34 am

sprite

is that different from the kind where the foot (for instance) goes to at least twice the size and is very hot to the touch (and untouchable because it hurts so much)?

3:34 am

sprite

no problem, joso, thanks for asking.

3:34 am

puglet

there are different kinds of gout,Sprite

3:35 am

sprite

I got that. Hence my question :)

3:35 am

joso

until he got it i thought it hit old unfit guys who had too rich a diet, esp elderly english lords, lol

3:36 am

sprite

lol joso, exactly. Like the ea4 of Dorrincourt.

3:37 am

puglet

my dad and two sisters has a rare kind, they have short stubby fingers and toes and their nails grows kind of curled---The doctors wanted them to go to a place to use them as guinie pigs and they refused

3:38 am

sprite

very wise to refuse, I think. Sounds painful.

3:39 am

joso

yea, whenever abbott and costello would go to england there would be this old guy, in the library, or his club, or in bed, with his foot propped up and bandaged 9 ways from sunday, and they would accidentally whack the foot at least a dozen times.

3:39 am

sprite

argh!

3:40 am

puglet

My sister that lives with me, she dosent have a flare up too often but my other sister she gets the swelling,heat and knots

3:40 am

sprite

my love wouldn't be able to have bandages. Even looking at it makes the pain unbearable.

3:41 am

puglet

Joso that makes me think of that movie Misery(think thats the one) with Bates

3:41 am

sprite

btw, all out of the blue my son told us yesterday he thinks he knows what he wants to do after school is over. He wants to go study chemistry. And once he got his bachelor's, he wants to major in medicines.

3:42 am

puglet

oh wow Sprite, that is great!

3:42 am

sprite

yes, that was my thought too. Gives him something to aim for. Was very happy with the idea.

3:44 am

joso

very good, a goal like that gives him a great future

3:44 am

puglet

seems like something is working in that brain--lol

3:46 am

joso

misery is the one pugs, but abbott and costello were just low comedy, except their baseball thing, wich was sheer genius

3:46 am

grannyrose

yay, tim?? did i get it right? hope you have the staying power, sprite. medicine is so very involved and long.

3:47 am

sprite

rose, not medicine as in becoming a doctor. Chemistry for medicines.

3:48 am

sprite

lol yes, something seems to be working in his brain. Something good.

3:48 am

puglet

I have seen several of their shows Joso. I like good comedy

3:48 am

sprite

their computer thing too, joso

3:48 am

grannyrose

when my middle son said he wanted to study veterinarianism , i said to him, why not something easy, like law?

3:49 am

sprite

lol

3:49 am

grannyrose

oh, that could lead to pharmacy...

3:50 am

rubyfoo

good morning!

3:50 am

marigold

p

3:50 am

sprite

yep. That area. Lab work. And when he gets bored with lab work, he said, he can always start teaching chemistry. He has it all planned out.

3:50 am

puglet

MORNING RUBY

3:50 am

sprite

hiya ruby :)

3:50 am

joso

so aiming to become a pharmaceutical researcher type of thing,

3:50 am

grannyrose

{{ hugs and kisses}} ruby.

3:50 am

puglet

Hi Marigold

3:50 am

sprite

exactly, joso. Developing and testing medicines etc.

3:51 am

grannyrose

g'day marigold

3:51 am

joso

just so long as he doesn't do the walter white thing

3:51 am

joso

hi ruby, marigold

3:52 am

sprite

had to look that up, series doesn't run he4. No, better not, lol.

3:53 am

joso

oh, great series sprite, breaking bad. just finished.

3:53 am

marigold

hi everyone

3:53 am

rubyfoo

vets he** make more than MD's

3:53 am

sprite

might be broadcasted he4 later then. We are always behind.

3:54 am

puglet

about the same here,Ruby

3:54 am

joso

but very dark and grimm, watch an ordinary guy gradually strip off all his morals

3:55 am

puglet

Is this something you wrote, Joso?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I am lucky that our vet makes housecalls but she has begun charging the same as the D's for housecalls....still, it's a lot better than getting this furry monsters into the car

3:56 am

sprite

will keep an eye out for it, joso

3:56 am

joso

breaking bad, no, I'd be a millionaire many times over if i wrote it.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

it ran he**, sprite, but late at night and dubbed, so Imissed it

3:56 am

sprite

yeah, count your blessings, ruby. Vets he4 only make housecalls when there is absolutely no other way.

3:57 am

sprite

argh, dubbed is horrible.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

she even picked u and brought back Raffie when she needed her surgery

3:58 am

sprite

that is truly amazing, ruby.

3:58 am

joso

that is one great vet ruby, are you in a rural area?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

yes, in a small village between bigger towns. She lives in onr of the towns and works in the other, so it's on her way and she LOVES my dogs. With her hel. I kept Ruby alive for an extra 6 months

4:00 am

sprite

which enabled you to let go of her gradually... she did you a great service there, ruby.

4:01 am

joso

I think rural vets are used to doing more, nobody brings a cow to the vet.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

she came once a month to check on Ruby and replenish her meds and she doesn't mark up the meds which is a plus

4:01 am

sprite

yes, rural vets travel a lot more. They have to visit the cows and horses etc.

4:02 am

sprite

wow ruby. She sounds like a real treasure.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

As Sprite knows, this isn't very rural except that the sheep have been brought down for their annual job of eating the weeds in the field above the house. The dogs watch thrugh the gate with fascination

4:04 am

rubyfoo

it's their TV

4:04 am

sprite

we have sheep and a shepard he4, since last year. They walk a path we walk with Terra as well. Rob calls them wool dogs, lol. Terra thinks they are fascinating. And he loves loves loves their poop :(

4:05 am

puglet

lol, Sprite! does he roll in it too

4:05 am

rubyfoo

we can't let the dogs near them because I think the fence, which gets moved every few days, is electrified

4:06 am

sprite

he does. Roll in it and eat it. Argh.

4:06 am

joso

doc goes to confession, he's all torn up because he's had affairs with 4 of his patients. the priest says you are not the first doc to do so and you won't be the last, so as long as you are going to turn over a new leaf, and repair as much damage as you can i can give you absolution. then the doc says, but father, I'm a vet.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

aaaargh

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Teehee

4:17 am

sprite

lolol pug!

4:17 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, you guys and gals make my night. thanx so much.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Puglet hahaha thats worse than my remark hahaha

4:18 am

sprite

pug has a deliciously wicked mind

4:18 am

puglet

well we are speaking of Rose

4:18 am

zoozzoom

She does at that it seems :-)

4:18 am

grannyrose

looo-ve pug's mind.

4:18 am

puglet

and she says holding hands and I got my doubts about that too

4:19 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL... didn't want to start a coughing fit...

4:19 am

sprite

yeah... now that you mention it... she didn't say what she was holding in her hand...

4:19 am

zoozzoom

True, Puglet but to be fair to,Rose it was,sprite who said that lol

4:19 am

sprite

but I only repeated what rose told us, zooz :)

4:20 am

grannyrose

his hand, sprite, his hand..,.

4:20 am

sprite

no coughing, rose, only laughing allowed. Stop it. Now.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Ahh ok then...i missed that bit.

4:20 am

puglet

thats right It was Rose who said it first

4:20 am

joso

are you all implying the horizontal (plug in any dance here)

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Hahahaha this is getting worse

4:21 am

grannyrose

oh, would they, joso?

4:21 am

sprite

doesn't have to be horizontal. A sink would work fine and would take all the pressure of rose's leg.

4:21 am

Anniebrook

zoozzoom

4:50 am

sprite

yeah, I think that sums it up, Annie :(

4:51 am

Well I wish Lickety an easy move. He deserves all good things.

sprite, and why is rob sleeping so late?

5:05 am

sprite

I think he is tired, rose. He has this amazing ability to sleep whenever he wants... he wakes up, goes back to sleep, just as easily.

5:07 am

grannyrose

lucky rob...i wish him a sweet repose.

5:08 am

sprite

me too, grin. Let sleeping spouses lie.

5:08 am

grannyrose

5:08 am

sprite

he certainly deserves an undisturbed sleep-in

5:09 am

grannyrose

has work been strenuous for him, sprite?

5:10 am

sprite

yes, very. He had another aggressive client last week. And he does the shopping and cooking too.

5:11 am

grannyrose

awww, poor rob! let him sleep, as you are doing, sprite. are you able to relax also, hun?

5:13 am

sprite

a little. Having trouble with eating today. Couldn't eat until half an hour ago. Then ate some currant bread and... don't know the english word. Some breakfast cook kind of thing. All on the 'good' list.

5:13 am

grannyrose

yay, sprite. hang in there, hun. you can do this..i know it.

5:14 am

sprite

I can. I will. Just having trouble today :) So I breathe... meditate.... breathe some more... sit with the pain and the trauma and the frustration and just... sit with it. Not eating it away. But not eating is not good, so there's the rub today.

5:16 am

grannyrose

9:30 am

wvteach

thnx molly and annie - halfway, NBT and NBS and time for a break

9:30 am

MollyL

The Australian/US time difference is the reason for the list confusion. Lickety updated to yesterday's list when it was already the next day in Australia. How's that for confusing.

9:30 am

Anniebrook

is there a 12 hour time difference?

9:31 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

9:31 am

MollyL

Right now, it is 12:31AM in Australia

9:31 am

rubyfoo

Australia is even much later than here and we are 6 hours later than the east coast

9:31 am

poodletoes

I thought Lickety was in the US central

9:32 am

Anniebrook

so it's 14 hours

9:32 am

MollyL

However, the date on the list should always be the date of the flip.

9:32 am

rubyfoo

Dr God is in the US central

9:32 am

poodletoes

ah, I see

9:34 am

ursh

Molly your ho 8 clue for the rhino - Just to remind you all that our rhinos are being poached at an alarming rate - the "appendages" are extremely valuable on the Asian market as a sex drive remedy (bloody fools eat your toenails) These magnificent creatures are now being shot with a dart - deh***ed and then left to die from either blood loss or because they are not given the antidote to wake them up they suffocate under their own weight - please if you get a chance help "save our rhinos"

9:35 am

MollyL

That is awful Ursh. How sad.

9:36 am

Anniebrook

I think the poachers should be poached and left to die under the weight of their greed. What a horror. I will google "save our rhinos" later, cannot do that on BE

9:36 am

MollyL

And sorry, but how stupid do you have to be to believe that the rhino appendage will improve your sex drive?

9:36 am

rubyfoo

ursh, do you ever go to game parks or out in the bush or is that "old hat" for a resident?

9:36 am

rubyfoo

ursh, do you ever go to game parks or out in the bush or is that "old hat" for a resident?

9:36 am

Judi

So true, ursh. Much the same can be said for the world's elephants. Selfish bastards out to make a quick buck.

9:37 am

rubyfoo

I was always working when I went to SE but only saw a little bit of the game on weekends

9:37 am

rubyfoo

SA*

9:38 am

ursh

Ruby - love the bush and go as often as possible but parks are quite expensive

9:40 am

rubyfoo

that is wonderful, ursh. I'm sorry that I didn't push for more time on those trips! I'll never be able to go bAck

9:41 am

rubyfoo

I went to one c-list reserve where they had a "resident" white lion and they would hang a dead zebra in a tree at night so the visitors could see it

9:41 am

Judi

lol. Showoff lion.

9:41 am

rubyfoo

the best thing about the reserve was the game warden! he was better than ourpool bnoys

9:42 am

dofith

And I one lucky Aussie? Here I am in beautiful South Africa - heading off to the Karoo in a few days and will visit a park there!

9:42 am

rubyfoo

you certainly are, dofith!

9:42 am

ursh

hey dofith - welcome and have a lovely trip

9:43 am

Judi

Hey, dofith - hang a zebra in a tree so we know where you are.

9:44 am

ursh

smaller downside to the poaching is that guards have to be employed to try protect the rhinos and of course their wages push up park fees

9:44 am

rubyfoo

we'll look for you in googleearth

9:45 am

dofith

Thanks - will do! It's our 4th visit. Son is an Africaphile - prposed and got married in Kruger NP so we had to go there, and now our third visit to Cape Town. And we spent a week in Addo with the elephants. Just love it!

9:45 am

Anniebrook

We are slowing killing or mining everything on the planet to extinction

9:45 am

ursh

I know everything has to eat but some of the prey animals are so beautiful - zebra included

9:45 am

dofith

Judi- maybe they'll hang me in a tree!

9:46 am

ursh

Kruger is my most favourite place in the world

9:46 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like a great trip

9:47 am

dofith

And their's (son and wife).

9:47 am

rubyfoo

I have pictures of Kruger forever imprinted behind my eyes

9:51 am

dofith

Yes - can't wait to go back once the grandkids are a bit older - have to be aware of malarisa etc. while they're babies or Mum is pregnant

9:51 am

dofith

10:57 am

Aloyisius

.. ugh.. have the camera up the you know what test on the 11th .. dread the prep of drinking all that antifreeze

10:57 am

o-o

The common belief is that King Solomon the Wise sent a servant to search for a magical ring which made happy men sad, and sad men happy. Thinking it was impossible to find such a ring, but the jeweler returned with a ring engraved with the Hebrew words, "This too shall pass." Sad people found joy in the thought that troubles will pass. Happy people were sorrowed by the idea that their joy and wisdom were but a fleeting thing.

10:57 am

rururocks

I have to do that too aloy.. not a happy day

10:58 am

Aloyisius

how interesting, ty o-o

the Downs syndrome kids I've met in life have been really sweet kids

11:35 am

crosshair

gotcha

11:35 am

rbud

you know, I once had a post edited on a site because, in the course of hinting to help with a flash game, I used a phrase something like "if you do it right, the cat will spaz out and run around". Never knew "spaz" was derogatory, I believe mostly to the British? not sure. I hear it used commonly here.

11:35 am

Anniebrook

Down Syndrome not Downs

11:36 am

rururocks

thanks annie

11:36 am

cybernan

Originally the word was used to mean delayed development -- it was verbal bullying that made it a no no.

11:36 am

crosshair

that si why when i leave the chat room i no longer say "poof" i say poink instead as it is offensive to many of our euro friends

11:36 am

Anniebrook

spaz is also a derogatory term in the US too

11:37 am

crosshair

the world is getting maller

11:37 am

exactly, nan

you mean like nancy boy, and JC and Andrew in Drag Crossy :D

11:37 am

crosshair

i mean to anyone in whose county it is used as a derrogatory comment

11:39 am

crosshair

but i try not to be so politically correct that it becomes silly

11:39 am

rururocks

I can be soooo far from politically correct most of the time

11:39 am

crosshair

i mean it is still a MANhole cover,not a maintinence access porthole lol

11:39 am

rbud

well, maybe if I called someone a "spaz", but in my experience many people use it as "spaz out" to mean just acting wildly or running around all nutty like... or as a sub for "freak out"

11:40 am

crosshair

i also know that one as spazzing out

11:40 am

crosshair

not used too much anymore however

11:41 am

rbud

had a friend who insisted on being called a sanitation engineer instead of a janitor, which he was, in truth.

11:41 am

MollyL

I think one of the worst things people can do in relation to someone with a disability is to treat the "special" or "different".

11:41 am

Anniebrook

spaz is used in conjuction with humans who have ceberal palsy who cannot control their motions

11:41 am

crosshair

i do not think the current crop of high school kids can spaz with their underwear up to their belly buttons and the pants down around the bottom of their butts

11:42 am

Anniebrook

and the pants dont fall off!

11:42 am

crosshair

mm,interesting how it is used in different places.comes off of spastic i woul imagine

11:43 am

Anniebrook

they must gorilla glue their underwear to their pants

11:43 am

crosshair

our police like the kids to wear it like that.makes them easier to catch in a foot chase

11:43 am

Anniebrook

LOL

11:44 am

rbud

lol! our son used to wear those pants, made by a company called Janco - hubs used to call them his "Yanko" pants, as he was constantly yanking them up...

11:47 am

Wearing your pants like that originates from prison.

it does indeed, invictus

11:49 am

MollyL

Yes Invictus, it's all part of the "gangsta look"

11:49 am

crosshair

it advertises you as available

11:50 am

oh my goodness - has anybody told the kids ?

11:50 am

Kids don't listen to anything.

11:50 am

MollyL

I'd be willing to bet that NONE of the street kids wearing their pants that way have that in mind.

11:50 am

You could put it on a gigantic billboard and they still wouldn't listen!

I am sure they know what it means, esp. in the US

My son is only 7, but he doesn't like his pants to sit low enough for even the tops of his underwear to show (even though his shirt hangs over it and you can't tell). He does have sensory issues though.

11:53 am

Anniebrook

so I am on my way.

11:53 am

I agree rbud. Only about 2% of the male population look good in tight pants.

11:54 am

BYE and HAGD, Annie!

11:54 am

Joey always wanted to be completely covered up when he was little. He had to have long-sleeves, long "soft" pants, socks, and a hat on at all times! My wonderful, amazing husband worked with him beginning when we began living together when my son was 4. Now, at 7 he runs around in his underwear at home. He had lots of other issues, too, but now he is in a normal 2nd grade classroom, makes the best grades in the class, and has lots of friends.

11:55 am

Well, *I'm* not going to take him! HUMPH! (I know, I should because he can't drive; but *I* get to relax too!)

11:59 am

invictus

Yeah, people don't know how to handle kids with sensory issues. They want it to be a behavior problem, but these kids truly cannot help it.

11:59 am

MollyL

I've found that parents who are understanding and supportive when it comes to their child's disability have a lot of success. The ones who keep trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, seem to struggle and so do the kids.

11:59 am

crosshair

tell him to take the car and have fun

12:00 pm

MollyL

Get up, stand up, Nef. You deserve to have things your way sometimes.

12:00 pm

crosshair

indeed,molly.our children are one of a kind and cannot be slotted into a sterotype or a standardized expectation

12:00 pm

Gail

Oh, my son was treated as a problem, too and he had terrible sensory issues. He also had a genius IQ and knew more than most of his so-called teachers!

12:01 pm

invictus

For Joey, it was learning how to cope with things. The insurance company wouldn't pay for occupational therapy, so we had to do our own.

12:01 pm

crosshair

yes,the really smart children often have difficulties

12:01 pm

Nef

Both of our kids are still ADHD; I was a very strong advocate for them in the school systems; and it paid off. But it took lots of work too

12:01 pm

invictus

That is Joey to a T, Gail!

12:01 pm

crosshair

you should of seen the war i had to get my son permission to use a laptop in class!

12:01 pm

Gail

Once he found clothes he liked, he had to wear them every day! I did a LOT of laundry

12:02 pm

crosshair

now things have changed

12:02 pm

MollyL

It's only recently that kids with sensory issues have been accepted into the "disability spectrum". Before that, they were "just being difficult". Right.

12:02 pm

invictus

Most teachers (at least here) want every kid to fit into a certain mold and when they don't, they just don't want to deal with them. It sucks. What ever happened to individualized education?

12:03 pm

Gail

Mike was in school during the "open classroom" phase, and he had way too many choices to make. He couldn't cope.

12:03 pm

crosshair

that is coming in many systems now,invictus.i think our children will be the last that have9had) to struggle in this way

12:03 pm

MollyL

Kids (with disabilities or not) are herded through the school system like cattle. It's sad.

12:03 pm

invictus

Oh yeah, they're too busy going over copies of past years' standardized achievement tests every single day instead of actually teaching something!

12:04 pm

Nef

Crossy, I found something for him to do instead. Our fair city is having a "clean-up" day, so we can take in specific things that we normally can't (outdated medications, used oil, stuffed furniture, etc.); so I've got him loading the car now! :-)

12:04 pm

Gail

In FLorida, my niece told me that the teacher's pay is based on her class average grades.

12:04 pm

crosshair

im the beginning,our system refused to let my son into grade one unless we drugged him up with ritalin...well,the war was on let me tell you!

12:04 pm

cybernan

is the ma 8 and extension of the civic leader?

12:04 pm

invictus

I am considering having my children do public school online next year. They will be in 3rd and 5th grades, and that way we can supplement what they're learning with REAL learning.

12:04 pm

rbud

our son got sent to an alternative school when he became a behavioral problem - he was bored. So he acted up. They had 3 grades in the same room in our little local school, and he was in the last of the 3 grades. got tired of hearing the same stuff as he'd heard for two years in a row.

12:04 pm

MollyL

Yes, the ma8 is an extension

12:05 pm

cybernan

*an extension?

12:05 pm

crosshair

more and more,invictus,home schooling is fast becoming a much more appealing,viable alternative for our children

12:05 pm

Erda

female version, Nan

12:05 pm

invictus

y

12:06 pm

MollyL

Home schooling has a long way to go. Too many parents are doing it who should not and the accreditation does not apply when it comes to college entrance.

12:06 pm

invictus

My daughter is very smart too. She is in 4th grade and is just now being taught how to write!

12:06 pm

cybernan

12:06 pm

12:07 pm

here,the govt lays down certain curriculums that must be met for home schooling,molly.we are not allowed to jsut wing it

12:07 pm

Erda

YW

12:07 pm

rbud

psychiatrist insisted I "minimized" his behavior and blamed the teachers. sigh.

12:07 pm

invictus

The online program I am considering is through Houston Independent School District, so it is considered a public school education. And then whatever else, can be added on by us.

12:07 pm

Gail

Once Mike did a report based on a trip to England that his grandparents took, and he used books from the adult library and the teacher told him that he was lying!

12:07 pm

invictus

They would still be required to pass all of the standardized tests, too.

12:08 pm

rbud

oddly enough, nearly half the boys in the school wound up in the alternative school, pretty high percentage... should I not blame the teachers? harumph.

12:08 pm

Nef

Molly, why do you say that home schooling accreditdation doesn't count?

12:09 pm

crosshair

it counts.here anyways

12:09 pm

invictus

Ok, I promised the kids pizza buffet for lunch.

12:10 pm

MollyL

Here is a great special ed (dyslexic) story. A family member brought home a math test with a big red F on it, along with a red frowning face. When his mother looked at his answers...9 x 9 = 18...she realized that all of his answers were correct, but backwards. The "teacher" failed to notice that.

12:10 pm

crosshair

there are guidlines.you follow them.add what you wish and you are good to go for college

12:10 pm

Nef

My cousin's son was home schooled (due to learning disabilities that the school didn't work with and bullying; he's just graduated from Notre Dame in June.

12:10 pm

MollyL

Because home school kids still have to take the GED to get into college.

12:10 pm

crosshair

yup

12:10 pm

crosshair

home school works.period

12:11 pm

crosshair

no real gray area here

12:11 pm

Nef

I'm not sure if he got a diploma or a GED; I'll have to ask my cousin.

12:12 pm

MollyL

There is a lot of grey area when it comes to home schooling. Kids who are cloistered in the home and learn nothing about social acclimation is one. Like I said, it depends on the parents doing the home schooling.

12:12 pm

crosshair

that is there

12:12 pm

crosshair

yes it depends

12:12 pm

crosshair

follow the rquired curriculum and there ia no problem

12:13 pm

crosshair

now as for social interaction,as a parent you have to use your brain with that

12:14 pm

Nef

Well, Dan was in many extracurricular programs through their church; so maybe that helped? He's going on for a Masters' in music now...

12:14 pm

crosshair

yaaa for dan!!

12:14 pm

MollyL

There is a real world out there, and kids have to learn how to fit into it. Kids who are schooled at home for 12 years have trouble adjusting if their program is not supplemented with a lot of socialization opportunities.

12:15 pm

crosshair

like i said,you are the parent doing the teaching.use your head to make sure you include social interaction with your teaching

12:16 pm

Nef

(LOL! I just thought of something: in my family, there is no such thing as "cloistered!" We'r a large Irish Catholic family and cousins and family are always together!)

12:16 pm

MollyL

That is the problem. The requirements to home school are very...um...open. And some parents to it specifically to shelter their kids from "those kids".

12:16 pm

crosshair

museums,hordicultural centre,animal sanctuaries,field trips can all be intergrated with the lessons

12:17 pm

crosshair

then those parents who tech their kids in a cage in the basement will have problems as well as their children.here the program has much more accountability

12:17 pm

Gail

There are so many more learning activities at those places now, Crossy. Zoos and musems even have camps now.

12:17 pm

MollyL

Field trips are great. However, that does not teach a child to socialize in a group of their peers.

12:18 pm

crosshair

there are indeed,gail

12:18 pm

Gail

Cubs scouts, camp and church activities kept my kids busy. And music lessons.

12:18 pm

crosshair

yuppers,beavers,cubs and scouts and pathfinders are awsome

12:19 pm

Gail

I had a huge car back then, I could fit the entire cub scout den and the dog in the back seat. Lots of trips.

12:20 pm

crosshair

back then we had a 76 ford ltd station wagon with the backwards facing seat in the back.we could hold an entire little league team:))

12:20 pm

Nef

It also helps to follow the state program instead of some religious which won't allow current science information (hard time writing that to not offend anyone)

12:20 pm

Gail

Ha ha, I nearly went mad, but we did have fun!

12:20 pm

crosshair

agreed,nef

12:21 pm

crosshair

saw one catholic schoolbox that sated the earth as around 7000 years old and that electricity was a mystery lol

12:21 pm

crosshair

stated

12:21 pm

MollyL

I am an advocate for whatever learning style works for the individual child. But I would never claim that one way works for all and that there are not drawbacks involved in some situations. It's not black and white.

12:22 pm

Nef

crossy, that isn't even Catholic beliefs!

12:22 pm

crosshair

no,it is definatly not black and white.but there are options to being herded through public school just to be gotten rid of

12:22 pm

MollyL

Nef, that is the problem with some home schooling. The forms of it that are done for religious reasons.

12:23 pm

Nef

yes, I agree

12:23 pm

Erda

definitely

12:23 pm

crosshair

sorry,nef.did not mean to say catholic as a specific,but some religious schools

12:24 pm

crosshair

i saw a bit of the book online is all and cannot id it to one specific sect

12:25 pm

Nef

I went through Catholic grade school (and so did my kids) and we were taught evolution just like current science.

12:25 pm

crosshair

good

12:25 pm

crosshair

that is well

12:26 pm

MollyL

Most Catholic school education in the US is top shelf. Which is why so many people pay extra to put their kids in Catholic schools.

12:26 pm

crosshair

of course when i was in school in the late 60,s and early 70,s, our books were so outdated that by 1975 we were still reading about how one day man may land on the moon

12:27 pm

Nef

I think some of the right wing protestant sects teach that. I read something recently about Texas produces many of the American educational textbooks and they're being written aand teaching creationism

12:27 pm

crosshair

ahh ok.that is most likely what i saw,nef

12:31 pm

Nef

I've worked with some very educated people who actually believe that. I was reading something at work once and mentioned something about the human genes changing about 7 (or 10?) thousand years ago so we could digest something and this person just looked at me and told me that people hadn't been created yet so what I was reading was wrong!

12:32 pm

crosshair

here it is.you were correct.. http://tinyurl.com/85px9mv

12:33 pm

Nef

thanks, crossy

12:36 pm

Nef

that isn't the article I was reading, and the text book they're talking about is quite old. I'll try to find the article I was reading

12:36 pm

crosshair

but back to my view and that si home school is a very viable alternative when done in conjunction with aproved curriculum and set within the proper learning environments

12:38 pm

agreed, cross. It is pretty sad, isn't it?

12:46 pm

crosshair

sigh..then again last i looked OPEC was made up of exatly 13 people in a board room(12 men,one woman) who dictate when to open or close the oil taps on imported oil and setting the rack prices as they see fit

2:34 pm

last canning I did was jam - about 10 years ago -- think there is still a jar of it in the cold room. Just doesn't seem worthwhile for only two of us - and both trying to cut down on snacks and sweets.

2:34 pm

Jillyjill

I know, I have probably 30 pints of jam...no one eats it anymore.

2:35 pm

MollyL

NSAID =Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Medical people need to use those kinds of shortcuts a lot. It's aspirin in my house. : D

2:35 pm

Jillyjill

I have to say the applesauce is wonderful. Had 3/4 jar left from recipe

2:35 pm

Jillyjill

It's a vitamin here...well not now of course when I need it...

2:35 pm

MollyL

And yes, I know that aspirin is different from the anti-inflammatory stuff. It's just that we don't use that.

2:36 pm

cybernan

We can get apples from the packing house year round, so don't bother with that.

2:37 pm

MollyL

We get fresh apples all year round too, Nan. I make applesauce if we have too many that haven't been eaten.

2:37 pm

Jillyjill

Have a MacIntosh tree in our backyard...plus that heavily producing plum tree...

2:37 pm

cybernan

That's what I should do, Molly -- but I like pie so-o-o much better!

2:38 pm

MollyL

I don't always make applesauce. Sometimes pie, or apple crisp.

3:10 pm

I just made a Boston Cream Pie for Mr. Bich's b'day

3:11 pm

MollyL

Mr. Bichon has good taste. I love Boston Cream Pie. And Happy Birthday to Mr. Bich.

3:11 pm

bichon

I will Molly. He's out adventuring in the woods. When he returns

3:22 pm

MollyL

Adventuring in the woods is a fun thing. : )

3:22 pm

bichon

Yes, it's planning for "Otherworld Interactive Theater"

3:24 pm

Jillyjill

Hmmm...what is that about bichon?

3:25 pm

bichon

Role playing with fantasy creatures and such. Costumes too

3:25 pm

MollyL

*Still wondering why Jill makes apple pies if no one eats them*

3:25 pm

Jillyjill

Cool...do you participate?

3:26 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...Molly, we did eat 7 of them....

3:26 pm

bichon

Not, not the type. But I know lots of people who do. My son did it when he was younger

3:27 pm

ChrissieDee

...hoping for Jilli's left-overs...

3:27 pm

Jillyjill

Our youngest does this role playing game...Furbee?

3:27 pm

Hi, everyone! How's it going? This grid seems a bit challenging.

3:34 pm

Right you are Mimi

3:35 pm

Jillyjill

Hi there Mimicat!! It's not too bad...just missing sending words to list easilty

3:35 pm

3:37 pm

MimiCat

Jilly, I've been sprucing up my little nest and it's looking so pretty....happy, happy.

3:37 pm

MimiCat

Wish I was closer to you so I could get some of your canned products!

3:37 pm

Jillyjill

Nice...send photos to my email??

3:38 pm

Jillyjill

About to put last batch of plums in for processing...come on up! Applesauce is yummy, had a bit left over

3:38 pm

MimiCat

I don't even have a camera to do that but that may change soon. Still have a few things to do but when I'm done I really do want to take some pics. Will send then.

3:39 pm

MimiCat

Would LOVE to visit, Jilly...maybe before too long if it's OK with you. Just love Montana and would so love to meet you.

3:40 pm

MimiCat

I'm afraid I'm now addicted to Amazon.com. They have just about anything you need and it gets delivered to the door.

3:40 pm

Jillyjill

That can be dangerous...LOL

3:41 pm

MimiCat

Now I'm concentrating on my balcony area. Want to create a little oasis for both me and the cats. Yes, it is a bit dangerous---too easy to spend money.

3:41 pm

Jillyjill

Ok, giving up, cannot see the first re4/6

3:42 pm

zoozzoom

i am a size re*ular + plural letter.

3:43 pm

Glad I got to touch base, Jilly.

3:43 pm

Hi, zooz!!!

3:43 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Mimi :-)

3:44 pm

MimiCat

It has been ages since we talked! How are you doing?

3:44 pm

zoozzoom

I am ok.plodding on....hope you are well?

3:46 pm

MimiCat

Getting by, thanks. Waiting until Jan. 1 so I can get Medicaid and finally get my thyroid fixed. But things are so much better now that I'm working again.

3:47 pm

MimiCat

Our heat finally broke and it was actually kind of cold this morning....LOVE THAT.

3:47 pm

zoozzoom

Good for you, Mimi.Sounds as if things are getting better for you!

3:47 pm

zoozzoom

hahaha we are always having cold spells here...i want heat.

3:48 pm

MimiCat

Would gladly trade any time around July/August. They said we had the hottest summer on record this year and I believe it.

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

Glad to hear you are getting back on your feet mimi!

3:49 pm

Jillyjill

ANd I must head out once again...63 left...

3:49 pm

MimiCat

I'm a tough old broad, Jilly!

3:49 pm

zoozzoom

Yes we had a very good summer after a shaky start with a cols spring.

3:49 pm

MimiCat

((Jilly)) Hugs and bye.

3:50 pm

zoozzoom

Bye, Jilly.

3:50 pm

Shakey*

3:51 pm

MimiCat

I'm hoping to travel a bit next year once my lawsuit settles (hopefully in my favor). Planning to visit crossy and may be able to get across the pond also.

3:52 pm

zoozzoom

Hope it works out for you, Mimi..not a nice thing to have to go through i am sure..but if the outcome is good..then it would do wonders for your travel plans!

3:53 pm

MimiCat

This has dragged on and will be a year and a half by the time it settles. Fortunately, the lawyers works on contingency so if I don't get anything, neither does he. We're pretty sure the case is solid.

3:55 pm

zoozzoom

If you did get to travel..what will you do with your cats..put them in a kennel type place untill you return?

3:56 pm

MimiCat

No, never...they're feral to anyone but me. But my neighbor will feed and care for them as I do for her cats when she travels. They have each other for company so at least that's comforting. I won't be gone longer than about a weeks on any trip.

3:57 pm

MimiCat

And, BTW, how nice of you to remember I have cats!

3:58 pm

zoozzoom

That is good to have someone who can take over whilst you are away...and yes sorry i do remember now you saying about them being feral and have had their problems so are fussy who looks after them.

3:59 pm

zoozzoom

Or should i say who they look after..lol

4:00 pm

MimiCat

One of them has seizures about every 10 days to 2 weeks but always snaps right out of them. Have talked to vets and decided to just leave it in God's hands since I don't want to drug him every day and he never has issues afterwards. This has been going on as long as I've had him (since he was a baby) so for about 5 years.

4:02 pm

zoozzoom

That is ashame this happens..but as you say if their seems to be no lasting after effects then maybe it is best left alone...especially after all that time.

4:03 pm

zoozzoom

Must be concerning when you first saw this happening though...i would of panicked.

4:03 pm

MollyL

You are insightful Zoom. You remember things that other people overlook.

4:04 pm

MimiCat

It's much harder to give a cat drugs than a dog....can't just put a pill in a wad of cheese and have it gulped down. Cat KNOW it's there and will eat around it. I've worked with so many types of animals and know the challenges. I just provide him with the best quality of life I can. All three of mine seem very happy and are extremely loving with me and with each other. They're luckier than many people....

4:05 pm

zoozzoom

You too,Molly..it touched me when you had your icon as a candle for me..i will always remember that.

4:05 pm

magzel

hi all need some clues for the z's have the non numbers

4:05 pm

It was disconcerting at first, zooz, but I've worked for zoos and vets and wildlife parks and am accustomed to dealing with many types of animal crises.

After ea 4/4ing 1990 points, I've given up on grid. Now he 4/5 is a story of clues. I ha 4/5 babbling without the list.It is such a ha6/21 to do!I hope Lickety realizes how important his ro4/4 is in Babbleland.He is my Babble he 4/5. When list is not available I think "Ho 4/7 Mother of God,how do people finish grids listle4/4?" When there is no list, I re 4/6 heavily on clues. I po 4/5 over the chog in the archives and get clues from there too.Some clues amu4/6 me.Sometimes I will use lists babblers so kindly put into their profiles, but it's not the same because you cannot drops words into the sl 4/4s on those lists. I wish Lickety could lo 4/4 someone his program so we have a backup. My ma 4/5 sa 6/27ed his way in and sn 5/10ed at me because he wants the laptop.I am going to give it to him so he does not cause a ry 4/6.

11:33 pm

stidmama

what fun!

11:33 pm

stidmama

((hugs)) at least I HOPE it was fun?

11:34 pm

Nef

this is her 5th year at it. I've been worried because she had had viral meningitis month ago; but they were very cautious playing her until the last 10 minutes of the bout. That made me feel better

11:35 pm

stidmama

good. I am glad she survived the meningitis... I didn't hear about that! what a terrible worry that must have been for you.

11:36 pm

Nef

It was fun! Theme for the night was the Rocky horror picture show (No we didn't dress up! We enjoy watching the rest of the crowd!_

11:37 pm

Nef

It was viral meningitis, stud. She had 3 ER visits and an Urgent care visit; but because she didn't have a fever or a seizure she was never hospitalized.

Nef

DANG! Spellcheck doesn't like your name again!

11:39 pm

stidmama

I know -- it's my evil plot to rule the world... eventually spellcheck will give up and never correct my name, and then I will be part of millions of dissertations having to do with horses...

Nef

there were a fair number of guys dressed in drag and a couple in gold lame' tight shorts and such. Several women were dressed "to the nines" and retro 50's seemed to be the style...

11:41 pm

stidmama

retro is very "in" anyway -- how could you tell if they were dressed up? *innocent mama look*

11:42 pm

stidmama

I saw Rocky Horror when I was about 22. I was SHOCKED! My friends who were with me couldn't believe I was so "innocent." LOL

11:43 pm

Nef

I saw it back in the day too; I was so totally clueless I couldn't figure out the story....

11:44 pm

stidmama

I had nightmare with Tim Curry featured prominently for weeks. :-)

11:45 pm

Nef

Stid, most derby bouts are attended by fairly normal or eccentric people who either dress very normally or dress very outlandishly.

11:46 pm

stidmama

An acquaintance of one of my sons just texted me and asked if I wanted to go to a local nightclub. *grin* I quickly realized he "dialed" a wrong number and responded in the negative... LOL poor kid!

11:46 pm

Nef

You could definitely pick out the Rocky costumes

11:47 pm

stidmama

I haven't ever been to a roller derby. When they were popular in the 70s I was still pretty young and when they got popular out here a little while I ago my kids were too young. :-)

11:49 pm

Nef

LOL! One of my daughter's friends is always texting me at odd times about some sort of medical questions. Last night it was related to weight loss and type 2 diabetes. But she knows who she's sending them too too.
