1:07 am

1:08 am

Jackanory

Like the skipping rhymes

1:08 am

sammysmom

yes jack, it does work.. lol i use vinegar on a washcloth for a headache.... has worked well for my family for more than 100 years that i know of

1:12 am

sammysmom

i like to see the old traditions handed down , don't you rose......... gives me a sense oc continuity

1:13 am

Dianne

grannyrose

jbp, could you google them...the bits you remember....

1:19 am

I bet you'll hate this, but have you considered a wheelchair, just for a month.... ya know, so the doc has something left to work with when you go under the knife

2:38 am

joso

or maybe you let DH do the shopping and just suffer through a month of fluffernutter and sardines

2:38 am

grannyrose

aagghhh, wash your mouth out...you said the w word....darn....you are probably right...just as pugs said weeks ago.

2:39 am

puglet

that is a good ideal Joso and plus it would give her arm exercising too

2:39 am

puglet

but it is the safest way for you to travel right now

2:40 am

puglet

unless you get going down hill too fast=lol

2:40 am

grannyrose

lol, joso...sardines i can do...it's the fluffernutter i am not sure of...

2:40 am

joso

you got a point pug, rosie on wheels may be a bad idea too

2:40 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, MIL has a w/chair, maybe borrow hers?

2:41 am

puglet

well remove the fluffer from the nutter and that will decrease the cals

2:42 am

grannyrose

hey...DH will be hanging onto the handles...and he is not one you would call fast...unless i give him the come hither look....lol

2:42 am

joso

it's when he serves up the combination for dinner that will get you

2:43 am

puglet

you could alway just take it and push it when not needed(it would give you a crutch) and if you do need it you got it

2:44 am

grannyrose

like a wheelie walker, you mean, pugs?

2:44 am

puglet

sort of but if you have the chair is could serve duel purposes

2:45 am

joso

don't give her an out, she'll take it, an ez-roll walker doesn't sound all that clever anyway.

2:45 am

grannyrose

you're not just a pretty face, are you?

2:45 am

puglet

what good is a walker if you cant walk?

2:47 am

puglet

taking weight off the knee is whats needed not a senior cit. marathon in the isles of the store--lol

2:47 am

rubyfoo

good morning

2:47 am

joso

this knee sounds like it's going down hill fast, did you twist it or anything in these falls, has the pain increased rose

2:47 am

puglet

Morning Mrs Ruby!

2:48 am

joso

hey ruby

2:48 am

puglet

How is Ruby and the furry kids today

2:48 am

grannyrose

hello ruby. {{hugs}}

2:49 am

joso

just trying to talk some sense into rose, it's an uphill battle.

2:49 am

grannyrose

joso, i have raging synovitis, and the tear in the MCL has extended. it aches so much.

2:50 am

o-o

get a go-cart with a trailer to put the stuff in and zip around striking terror in other shoppers

2:50 am

grannyrose

just wasn't expecting it to give way like it did today. i have been taking it easy, but sometimes i just have to bite the bullet.

2:50 am

puglet

is that like raging harmones?

2:51 am

puglet

Morning OO

2:51 am

rubyfoo

the dreaded wheelchair is a good idea rosie. We need to slow you down, somehow! My husband still does the shoping and will, as long as he can. I'm the one who would buy the "extras" as I'm always hungry and a terrible impulse food shopper

2:51 am

grannyrose

lol...o-o...and how are you?

2:51 am

joso

argggg, I so feel for you rose. I wish I could do more than give you the occasional laugh. by the way, wheel chairs are not, repeat NOT, a cartwheel aid.

2:52 am

grannyrose

awww, joso...just one little cartwheel...i have four wheels on the chair...

2:52 am

rubyfoo

the last few times I've travelled, I've used a wheelchair in airports. It was embarrassing at first |(N>B> Maggie Smith in Exotic Marigold), but it made al the difference

2:53 am

grannyrose

yes, it does, ruby. and when we travel next i am gonna exploit it to the max.

2:53 am

joso

keep em all on the ground, at all times, even while seeing what can be done with DH and the chair

2:53 am

o-o

you could get a souped-up motorized wheelchair

2:54 am

rubyfoo

just keep a supply of $5 (or pounds, or euros, or w2hatever) and the airport people couldn't be nicer

2:54 am

grannyrose

o-o....not so far off...i still have to have both hips and the other knee 'done'.

2:55 am

joso

na, just need it for a month, then she will have to physio the crapp out of that knee.

2:55 am

grannyrose

*giggle* joso...i am so looking forward to hydrotherapy again...i love it in the pool...

2:56 am

o-o

crutches did the trick for me .... even through the snow in winter

2:57 am

grannyrose

btw, we found out why i am having difficulty geting on and off the motorbike. i can only lift my foot 16" and i need at least 17". so i have a new goal to achieve.

2:57 am

grannyrose

o-o, i have elbow crutches, which were great last year.

2:58 am

o-o

take some air out of the tires?

2:58 am

puglet

did you hurt yourself OO

2:58 am

o-o

ankle sprain

2:58 am

joso

do they give you a hard time when you when you try to array your candles, add the bath salts, and start your mood music cd.

2:59 am

grannyrose

o-o, once i have stepped onto the foot-peg, i need to lift the right foot 17" to get it over the seat and saddle bags.

2:59 am

puglet

you still on crutches OO

3:00 am

o-o

no .... that was decades ago

3:00 am

grannyrose

yuck, o-o...been there....not good. are you fully recovered now?

3:00 am

joso

I shudder to ask, but just how did you discover this moto fact... while you where "taking it easy" and all rose

3:00 am

puglet

put a wooden block on the peddle Rose

3:01 am

puglet

or maybe mount a saddle on the bike with sturrips to help :)

3:02 am

puglet

good point Joso. yeah Rose how is that

3:02 am

grannyrose

lol, joso. what a great idea, pugs!!! we can move the foot pegs up....

3:03 am

grannyrose

joso, we measured the height from the foot peg to the seat. and the measured how high my foot is when i bend my knee.

3:05 am

joso

ah, had visions of your dissapointment when you found out you couldn't ride today because you couldn't mount up.

3:07 am

grannyrose

oh, my....DH is out in the kitchen, cooking dinner, bless him, waering a trilby. when i looked at him, he said all chefs wear a hat. i said, not like that one...he said, well i'm not like other chefs. dear Lord, i love this man.

3:08 am

o-o

the simplest solution would be to hire some fit cabana boys to carry you around in your bed.

3:08 am

grannyrose

roflol, o-o....like your idea the best.

3:08 am

puglet

lol--there you go OO

3:09 am

puglet

I just bet you would Rose! lol

3:09 am

joso

imagine DH's face when your medical aid workers arrive, lol

3:09 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

3:11 am

puglet

why isnt recoat a word?

3:12 am

grannyrose

good question, pugs. i tried it also

3:12 am

joso

because they say repaint?

3:14 am

grannyrose

3:14 am

puglet

3:25 am

puglet

3:25 am

rubyfoo

3:25 am

joso

happy to help

3:26 am

puglet

Ive never been on one either Ruby

3:27 am

joso

you should try it at least once ruby, even as just a passenger it is a unique, and good, experiance

3:28 am

puglet

Have you owned one before Joso

3:28 am

rubyfoo

I went on a dirt bike once, as a passenger (had a young boyfriend) and when we got to the railroad trestle,I had to get off and crawl bak on my hands and knees. Too scary for me

3:28 am

joso

no, have ridden but never owned

3:28 am

puglet

I would really have to trust the driver and I dont know anyone

3:29 am

puglet

I have drove a 4-wheeler though

3:29 am

joso

yea, don't hop on with the first hells angle you see, we'll never hear from you again

3:30 am

joso

*angel

3:31 am

joso

never did dirt bikeing, speeding down the highway was what I did ruby.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

my friend has a Bultaco Matador, lovely "classic"

3:32 am

rubyfoo

had* 100 yrs ago

3:32 am

puglet

last summer my hubby bought a motor bike. It must of been a really old one cause it looked just like a bike with peddles and all but just had a motor

3:37 am

joso

worst driving I ever did was my first winter as a driver. one time I got my dad's pontiac spinning down the road untill the road turned where we plowed into a snow bank and then everything went dark. snow had blocked off all light, totally packed in, couldn't open doors and rolling down windows just revieled a sheet of snow. Crossed my fingers, started the car, and reversed out.

3:38 am

puglet

How lucky for you Joso! Good thing it was snow and not a tree or wall

3:39 am

rubyfoo

once went skiing on a Christmas day when a blizzard had closed the roads. My son and his friend (both 12) were with me and had t push the car up the little hills. We wound up in a snow bank, laughing like crazy.

3:39 am

puglet

I like the bigger older cars myself.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

Those were great times!

3:40 am

joso

yes, the roadside snowbanks are 10+ feet tall up there, (couple of hours north of toronto) very forgiving thing to run into.

3:40 am

puglet

You ski Ruby?

3:40 am

puglet

I bet it gave you a fright though-lol

3:43 am

joso

since that winter I've been a very good winter driver, kills me to see some of today's drivers have to relearn every winter, snow is slipery, compensate for it.

3:44 am

joso

that dose sound like a good day ruby, where did you ski?

3:44 am

puglet

I hate driving on bad roads and hate more them out there that has no sense

3:47 am

joso

I don't mind rough conditions, except whiteouts. but am always extra careful on the day of the first good snowfall.

3:48 am

puglet

Need to get off and do some things before heading to town---If Sprite happens on Please tell her hi for me----hope you two have a wonderful day! hugs until we meet again!

3:48 am

joso

will do pugs, enjoy your day

I have a job interview tomorrow teach, for my first time teaching job. pretty excited, but trying to remain calm and realistic

7:11 am

lbdawger

hi trif, crossey, WV

7:12 am

wvteach

what grade level do you hope to teach

7:12 am

hurshy

best wishes for that trif!

7:12 am

wvteach

hello dawger

7:12 am

Trifioso

I like teenagers, so hoping to land in a high school. this job is a parapro position, one on one for a very challenged student. ideally, if we are a good fit, I can go with the student through high school

7:13 am

Trifioso

its a start, and I believe in starts

7:14 am

wvteach

it is always good to get yourself in to the system and know the other faculty

7:14 am

hurshy

i believe in colds

7:14 am

Trifioso

that was one of my thoughts, yes,teach. also, something with benefits would be a MIRACLE. My monthly payments for health insurance are KILLING ME

7:15 am

wvteach

i was never in a high school, always elementary or middle and always in special education

7:15 am

crosshair

i am happy for you trif.i am sure you will be a good teacher

7:15 am

wvteach

then the benefits will really be helpful

7:16 am

crosshair

coming back to school all these years later as an adult has given me w whole new respect for those who teach

7:17 am

crosshair

and i have to wonder if i was actually as stupid as some of the 18-25 years olds in this class!

7:17 am

crosshair

when i was their age*

7:17 am

hurshy

you mean now, or when you were that age?

7:17 am

Trifioso

hahaha crossy, we were all stupid then. I am stupid sometimes still

7:17 am

hurshy

ah oops

7:18 am

wvteach

our living life gives us a new perspecyive on things

7:18 am

Trifioso

teach, the benefits will be a godsend, but they aren't my main focus, of course. I really want to get in a good school,where I can help, and learn, and settle in for a stretch. changing jobs is so stressful

7:18 am

Volta

Maybe I should come back here when I'm 26, then ;)

7:19 am

crosshair

i mean,most, about 3/4 are those missing one or 2 credits to get graduated,the other 1/4 are older people like me fufilling a wish to round out their eduation and perhaps do a bit of university

7:19 am

crosshair

it does indeed teach

7:19 am

Trifioso

well spoken, teach. I certainly had NO idea who I was at 18

phandmd

No big deal! I appreciate the help!

5:31 pm

joso

yes, interesting author too, got sick of the fame and stopped publishing, keep writing but stopped publishing.

5:33 pm

Volta

Oh, really? That's interesting...I always find myself looking for a different way to 'read' that book. There's so many different theories and interpretations. That almost seems a case of the author echoing the protagonist.

5:36 pm

joso

yes, there will be a mass of material when he dies, i wonder if he has left instructions to burn it, or publish.

5:38 pm

Volta

I hope for the latter, although it's unfortunate that writing such an iconic book means that everything else produced will inevitably be compared to it.

5:40 pm

JD Salinger died in NH in 2010...

5:41 pm

joso

ah, just read he died in 2010, slated release of some stuff in 2015 and 2030.

5:42 pm

joso

* 2020, not 2030

5:44 pm

Volta

Oh, how sad. I didn't know he'd passed on.

5:45 pm

joso

not so sad, I think, wanted a quiet life, a quiet death goes with that.

5:47 pm

Volta

That's a better way of looking at it. I "bonded" a lot with that book in my teens, so I suppose it left me with a lot of fondness for the author, too!

5:50 pm

joso

saw a bio of him recently, apparently i saw it because it was waiting on his death too. It upset him terribly that nut bars and assassins quoited catcher, and even carried copies with them on their 'missions'.

5:52 pm

Volta

That is awful. It reminds me of those misogynists who quote 'Fight Club' religiously - completely missing the point of the book. What biography was that; do you recall the title? I'd be quite interested to see it, if you can

5:53 pm

joso

was a documentary film called 'salinger'

5:55 pm

penquis

there is a little more info at wikipedia...

5:55 pm

Volta

Straight and to the point ;) thank you, I'll look that up after I've finished my stock of horror films. Halloween always makes me want to scare myself

5:57 pm

joso

there is a companion bio book by the film director and writer, same name.

6:02 pm

mkg

hi all. i just cant get that clue for the 8. it was cr: reptile+2 vowels+cross letter+2vowels. totally stumped.

6:02 pm

mkg

any other clues?

6:03 pm

grannyrose

mkg, cr**, short reptile word + round letter + go fly a k***

6:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now all the vultures can make movies that Salinger would have hated. I won't watch any of it, out of respect. But if he wrote more about the Glass family that he wanted published, I'll be waiting/

6:03 pm

mkg

cr short reptile word? wow so stumped. wiill try again

6:04 pm

mkg

GOT IT. ty ty ty!

6:04 pm

McLeach

think alligator, mkg

6:04 pm

mkg

boy was i way off.

6:04 pm

penquis

i think some of the glass family stories are among those to be released...

6:04 pm

mkg

ty all.

6:04 pm

mkg

ty mcleach

6:04 pm

grannyrose

yay, mkg

6:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Well, he was writing all the time- he just wanted to be left alone and not psychoanalyzed. "You saw what psychoanalysis did for Seymour."

6:08 pm

o-o

If he wanted to be left alone? He published what he wrote.

6:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Only four books. Not since 9

6:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

1963 or 61.

6:09 pm

Volta

It's fascinating. I wonder why he didn't consider using a pseudonym. Or maybe he did and we'll just never know.

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Some say he did. there are all kinds of theories of matching some guys writing style with his- conspiracy theories in a way. But the truth is, I just wanted to know how Franny ended up, and I like the detailed "prose home movies"

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It gets to be too much of a contradiction to try to renounce ego and publish at the same time. That was the core of the Glass family's dilemmas

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I've been reading him since I was 12 and it's all pretty much in his published work. I did read the uncollected stories that he didn't want published- and felt guilty for getting them, and he was right- they weren;t very good. I felt disloyal.

6:13 pm

Volta

I see your point...this is so interesting. This is the kind of conversation you rarely get to have when you live alone in the middle of nowhere.

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was just thinking that, but I haven't watched Days of Our Lives in 3 months so I have nothing really important to dish on.

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Which nowhere do you live in the middle of?

6:16 pm

Volta

The Lapland nowhere. Population gets a little sparse when you go this far north in the country, but I'm sure this little town is nowhere near as isolated as some in America and Canada.

6:16 pm

o-o

I was quite despondent when my favorite wall ran off with the ceiling.

6:17 pm

Volta

Or Australia, for that matter. It's the middle of a small nowhere :)

6:20 pm

mab

some just wouldn't leave salinger alone; i wouldn't be shocked if he burned any later writing.

6:22 pm

mab

oh, poor seymour

6:23 pm

grannyrose

volta. a lot of people do not realise that australia is quite large. you can fit the whole of europe and all the uk into it. and room left to spare.

6:25 pm

blueheron

hello babblers.

6:25 pm

Volta

Absolutely - I made a friend from Perth, and I was stunned to discover how isolated that city is! I haven't made it to Australia in my travels yet, but I hope to someday soon.

6:29 pm

mab

what a darling baby, blueheron. such a lot of hair.

6:30 pm

blueheron

I know mab.:)

6:32 pm

blueheron

She's my 2nd grandchild. Iris Elizabeth.

6:32 pm

grannyrose

lol, volta, himself and i have only seen about a quarter of what this island has to offer. and we go off on 3 week driving tours each year. radiating out from melbourne. i think we have seen just about all of victoria, lower half of nsw, and 7/8ths of tasmania. it's nearly time for me to persuade DH to get on the big train..wish me luck!

6:33 pm

Volta

I'll wish you the best of luck for that! There's no greater pleasure than travel, I don't think

6:33 pm

joso

there is something really wonderful about train travel

6:34 pm

Jellen

Hello all...

6:34 pm

mab

love trains

6:34 pm

blueheron

jellen!1

6:34 pm

Jellen

:)

6:34 pm

mab

the french do trains so well - smooth

6:35 pm

grannyrose

yeah, joso, tell it to DH...he thinks it's going to be boring. but that was what he said about cruising, and what he said about fiji...changed his tune after both adventures.

6:35 pm

grannyrose

omg...jellen...helloooo

6:35 pm

Volta

Some good train travel for sure out where you are, Joso, although sadly I've never been able to stump up the cash for it. Greyhounds are more my thing in North America

6:36 pm

Jellen

I wonder if I could have the stats for the bottom row A...

6:36 pm

grannyrose

ae5/12, jellen

6:36 pm

Volta

It's an ae 5/12, I believe

6:37 pm

grannyrose

ae + not FBI but ***

6:37 pm

Jellen

Thanks!

6:38 pm

Volta

Thanks, Grannyrose. I was struggling with that one!

6:38 pm

grannyrose

np's you two. how are you, jellen? all good i hope.

6:38 pm

mkg

hi all. back to get half way.

6:39 pm

grannyrose

welcome back mkg

6:39 pm

Jellen

I'm fine, rose...

6:40 pm

grannyrose

did i see you have graduated? well done! and now working on your masters...wow!

6:41 pm

Jellen

Oh, it's been a long time since I last graduated...but I am working on a master's degree...

6:41 pm

mkg

hores

6:41 pm

mkg

oops. sorry

6:43 pm

mab

i've long wanted to teach freshman comp. i envy you jellen.

6:43 pm

mab

not envy, more like admire

6:43 pm

grannyrose

my hat's off to you, jellen. i tried to update my degree, but i left it too late. just couldn't get into the swing of studying again. and it's only 6 years to go until i can retire on a full pension...so i chug along.

6:44 pm

Jellen

Aww, thanks mab!

6:44 pm

Jellen

It's a challenge Rose. I'm only taking one class at a time.

6:45 pm

mab

granny, isabella rossellini is working on some degree - zoology, maybe. never too late.

6:45 pm

mab

of course she's isabella rossellini and can do anything she wants.

6:45 pm

mab

still...

6:46 pm

grannyrose

when i received the handbook for my first unit...i laughed so hard i could hardly make to the rubbish bin. it was on the psychology of team work...for goodness sakes...i practically wrote it in my sleep.

6:48 pm

LuvB

tcodiicdi

6:49 pm

grannyrose

luv....is that english?

6:50 pm

dcseain

it's as English as some decent percentage of the words in ENABLE

6:50 pm

grannyrose

lol, hey seain. how are you?

6:55 pm

LuvB

I don't know

6:56 pm

welki

hey babblers! (jellen!!!)

6:59 pm

dianedecoder

hi welki !

7:00 pm

NANCY

could someone take pity and provide a clue for my last word, the first co 624 please

7:00 pm

joso

co6, one who co4's

7:00 pm

dianedecoder

sorry... the only co that I'm missing

7:01 pm

welki

sure - co 6/24 - if i were to try to convince you to do something slyly, i would try to co**** you

7:01 pm

stidgmere

co 6, 24 is to force someone to act. er....

7:01 pm

joso

or co6, impel or force someone to do comething

7:02 pm

welki

got into the comfort winter food groove today, diane - a big pot of beef stew, roasted some chicken for later in the week

7:03 pm

Volta

That sounds delicious, Welki. Winter comfort food is the best kind of food

7:03 pm

dianedecoder

thanks for co 6/24

7:04 pm

welki

the house smells deeeeeeelicious :)

7:04 pm

dianedecoder

I'm there already, welki.... made a big pot of garlic sausage soup on Saturday, had it again this evening.

7:04 pm

welki

yum - do you put cabbage in it?

7:04 pm

dianedecoder

You got more snow than we did I think.

7:05 pm

dianedecoder

no... just potatoes, onions and fine cut garlic... it is thick and good.

7:05 pm

welki

roads are dry now, for the most part - don't care how much we get as long as the roads stay clear

7:06 pm

dianedecoder

our residential streets are very slippery, main roads are fine.

7:06 pm

dcseain

Hi, granny. i'm well, if a bit distracted.

7:06 pm

welki

i used to make a cabbage and kielbasa soup (with potatoes, carrots and onions) - with real rye bread on the side. the other half isn't crazy about soup, so i haven't made it for years

7:06 pm

welki

hi, seain

7:07 pm

dianedecoder

The "other half" is the reason I don't put cabbage in it ;-)

7:07 pm

NANCY

ty welki, got it and can now enjoy the rest of my evening

7:07 pm

welki

i don't know how you do it, seain - had a 4.5 yr old and 8 mo old here for a week. they left friday and my back is still sore!

7:07 pm

dcseain

hi, welki, diane

7:08 pm

welki

well i just decided, i'm going to make the soup and batch it out in single portions - for me!

7:08 pm

welki

volta, you're in lappland?

7:09 pm

Volta

That's correct. And you're in the home of the Stampede, am I right?

7:09 pm

dianedecoder

hi dcseain

7:10 pm

welki

yes, calgary

7:10 pm

dianedecoder

and I'm 3 hours north of welki ... hi again, Volta :-)

7:11 pm

Volta

Hello again :-) would that be Edmonton? I'm trying to remember from driving through there, but that was a few years ago now

7:12 pm

welki

diane? do you recall a gal from bowden, a babbler named altagolfnut? if so, have you seen her lately?

7:13 pm

welki

(she may be from innisfail)

7:16 pm

dianedecoder

altagolfnut was in Innisfail, and I saw her briefly a couple of weeks ago in here.... just as the golf season had come to an end.

7:17 pm

welki

good - glad to know she's still around. i'd like to play golf with her next season

7:17 pm

dianedecoder

Volta, I am just 15 minutes east of Edmonton, in Sherwood Park. Edmonton would be my city, but we rarely go in there !

7:17 pm

welki

well, she can play golf - better phrased, i'd like to tag along so SHE can play golf and i can try to hit the ball

7:18 pm

dianedecoder

I "read" that you got new clubs and new shoes..... good for you !!

7:19 pm

Volta

Not even to go to that great big mall you folks have there? :-) I remember driving that very straight, long highway between the two...quite a scary stretch of road at night. A lot of interesting little places along the way, though.

7:19 pm

welki

three hours of the most boring driving conditions in canada, volta

7:20 pm

dianedecoder

I've been there, but since youngest daughter moved out here to Sherwood Park ( 12 years ago ) I haven't been there once ! Just TOO DARN BIG! We have taken out of town visitors there in the past, just for an sight seeing outing !!

7:23 pm

Volta

The Sat-Nav made me chuckle though, Welki. "Continue straight - for - 300 kilometers"

7:23 pm

Volta

And it certainly is massive, Dianedecoder...I felt like I needed to leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind me.

7:24 pm

dianedecoder

LOL.... good old GPS

7:24 pm

welki

boy, this is nice - like old times :)

7:24 pm

dianedecoder

;-) 'tis

7:27 pm

welki

volta, is the cuisine in lapland/finland similar to norway's?

7:30 pm

Volta

Hm, that's an interesting question. I would say Norwegians enjoy a lot more fish and seafood with all that coast they have, and oddly enough they seem to eat a lot more cold food over there. There is quite a lot of variety within Finland, though; here in the North, the food is a lot more hearty, and I suppose quite unsophisticated in comparison to much of Europe!

7:31 pm

welki

<-- googling lapland cuisine

7:33 pm

welki

well, this sounds pretty good - is this an accurate website? http://tinyurl.com/nxstz5t

7:35 pm

welki

ha! and we have a connection - i have nokian tires on my car!

7:36 pm

Volta

It looks accurate to me! Although, I always read that we eat a lot of bear...I think people say that for shock value, because I've only ever eaten bear once. It's considered very luxurious!

7:38 pm

Volta

How funny to share a website, a climate and tires with somebody living halfway across the world :-)

7:38 pm

welki

is reindeer a staple? here, there are reindeer farms, but i don't ever recall seeing the meat in a neighborhood supermarket, probably only sold in specialty butcher shops. i've had elk - and it was delicious

7:39 pm

Volta

Reindeer is enjoyed here a lot, yes! For me, it's my absolute favorite meat; rather similar to elk, really, with that very rich and gamey taste. Delicious!

7:41 pm

Volta

I recommend it very highly. Do you tend to eat a lot of game meats from the wildlife around there? Of course, Alberta is quite famous for beef

7:41 pm

welki

would be great if, someday, you could share your favorite recipe for reindeer. i have a friend whose husband just took down a massive elk and would love to share your recipe with her

7:42 pm

Volta

Well, I'd be very happy to. I'll have to think about a favorite though; I don't want to short-change a friend of yours!

7:43 pm

welki

we have friends whose diets consist almost exclusively of game. we live in a city, are not hunters, so the only game meat we eat is what we are gifted or what is served at friends' homes

7:43 pm

welki

(their meat part of the diet - they eat other things, too :)

7:44 pm

welki

time to serve that beef stew - very nice chatting with you, volta!

7:44 pm

Volta

And you as well :-)

7:45 pm

dianedecoder

enjoy your comfort food, welki !

7:59 pm

dianedecoder

Finally ! Now I'm going to get into comfy pajamas and watch TV with hubby...chilly outside but cozy inside. It was nice chatting with you Volta... see you again soon. :-)

8:14 pm

phandmd

so, my cat was missing for awhile (not normal for him to go far when he gets out and he doesn't normally get out). Decided to go looking for him. He is injured, bleeding but not grossly. When we found him he didn't want to come to us and in fact ran away and hid from us. We have him in the house now, trying to let him calm down to see if I need to go to the ER vet or not

8:17 pm

Bugsaw

that is so frightening phandmd! I am so glad you found him quickly

8:17 pm

Nef

Good Evening again. Oh, phand; how horrid!

8:18 pm

phandmd

yeah. he is like 15 years old.

8:18 pm

Nef

What seems to be the problem? Do you think he was hit by a car or attacked by another animal?

8:19 pm

phandmd

it was either an animal fight or a fall injury

8:19 pm

Nef

(Both my cat and dog are that same age)

8:20 pm

Nef

IF it's an animal fight; he should probably be seen. My sister is a vet and she says that it's important to get rabies shots

8:20 pm

phandmd

he is up to date on rabies. He will def be seen, just not sure if it will be tonight or in the am

8:21 pm

Nef

If it's a fall; is he able to walk okay or do you think he's got internal injuries?

8:21 pm

mab

my cat was bitten by a dog once upon a time and became very ill within 24 hours ( i coudn't see her wound). would advise vet asap. morning will be good.

8:21 pm

Bugsaw

it is important to put him on antibiotics too if he is bleeding because claws and teeth are so dirty they almost always get infected.

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

I agree that tomorrow would be safe tho to save money

8:22 pm

phandmd

He has walked fine.

8:22 pm

Nef

does he have a spot he won't let you touch? Does he let you pick him up?

8:24 pm

phandmd

I was holding him when we got him in. Right now he is by himself. I will check on him in a little bit.

8:25 pm

phandmd

still trying to decide when I will take him in. If I can wait, it would be better on the pocket book, but I don't want to compromise his health either

8:26 pm

Nef

How long has he been inside now? Has he had any food or drink?

8:26 pm

phandmd

about 30 mins. He did eat a few bites of the tuna I put in with him plus he has his regular food

8:26 pm

Nef

Has he used the litter box? (All information needed to assess if you need the ER vet or not)

8:27 pm

Jillyjill

Oh dear, poor kitty...wish jes was on...

8:27 pm

Nef

DO you have a vet school near you you could call for advice?

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

sounds like he was more frightened than hurt and another assessment in the morning will be safe.

8:28 pm

phandmd

no, I think VA tech is the closest one and that is about 5 hours away.

8:28 pm

Nef

WOuldn't it be nice if she was Jilly?

8:29 pm

phandmd

he is still bleeding.

8:29 pm

Nef

Darn. And no sign of jes right now either. :-(

8:29 pm

Jillyjill

Where is he bleeding?

8:29 pm

phandmd

my vet tech neighbor said if it was her cat she would probably wait til the morning.

8:30 pm

phandmd

from his head near his ear. which is a common bite wound site. Looks like more than a simple bite though.

8:30 pm

phandmd

looks more like a gash

8:30 pm

Nef

You could do the standard "watch and wait" for an hour or 2, if he seems to be taking care of himself and doing okay, then wait til AM. If you sense he's having some difficulties; they don't charge more or less according to the time (it's expensive no matter what time it is)

8:31 pm

Nef

WIll he allow you to hold gentle pressure on it? Can you clean up the wound?

8:31 pm

Jillyjill

Does it look like a deep puncture wound?

8:31 pm

Bugsaw

after hours vets charge LOTS more here Nef

8:32 pm

Nef

I know Bugs; but it's alread after hours where phand is

8:32 pm

phandmd

no, not a puncture more like a gash. Bugs, he meant that it doesn't matter if I go now or at 2 am it willcost t
he same...

8:33 pm

phandmd

yeah, that's what I was planning on doing Nef.

8:33 pm

Nef

yes, that's exactly what I meant

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

ah, perhaps now would be better if it needs to be stiched, but none of my cats have ever needed stiches. One did get flesh eating disease tho when I tried to get away with not getting antibiotics. I won't do that again!

8:34 pm

phandmd

oh, no, he will definitely require antibiotics.

8:35 pm

Jillyjill

So sorry phan

8:35 pm

Nef

how big is the gash phand?

8:35 pm

Nef

Can you kind opf treat it like a human's gash?

8:36 pm

phandmd

I guess. I have hydrogen peroxide. but would that sting?

8:37 pm

Nef

(clean wound; pressure to stop the bleeding; approximate edges and apply some sort of dressing

8:37 pm

phandmd

don't think I can put a dressing on it. it is by his ear

8:39 pm

Nef

Just use half strength H2O2; mix up a a little saline (1/2 tsp per qt. water)and use that for the other half of the H2O2 solution

8:39 pm

Nef

It shouldn't sting with the saline mixed in

8:40 pm

phandmd

that's a good idea.

8:40 pm

phandmd

thanks, Nef.

8:41 pm

Nef

(I always heat the water to make saline; otherwise the salt doesn't mix as well. Mix salt in a small amount of water (1/2 to 3/4 c, then dilute with room temp water

8:44 pm

phandmd

ok. going to go check on kitty now.

8:44 pm

Nef

LOL! I mix up a saline solution for sore throats, colds, gargling, wound cleaning, itchy bug bites and so many other reasons that my grandson just takes it for granted that I will make it for him

8:47 pm

phandmd

he really wont let me examine him.

8:47 pm

phandmd

there is now blood spattered all over my wall.

8:48 pm

Nef

uh-oh

8:49 pm

Jillyjill

Not good, any chance your vet tech friend could look at him?

8:49 pm

Nef

how much blood is it (do you thick he's lost a lot of blood(even before you found him?)

8:50 pm

Nef

think

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

might need to be seen sooner rather than later

8:51 pm

mab

if it;s by his ear he may be shaking his head, thus splatter. maybe vet time.

8:51 pm

phandmd

it's not a lot just splattered because he shook his head.

8:52 pm

mab

he likely is in pain, poor boy

8:52 pm

phandmd

I did see 2 puddles of blood, one was about a tablespoon (estimation) and the other would probably be about a teaspoon

8:53 pm

phandmd

he is probably in pain.

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

Cat's unfortunatly have incredible fortitutde...I would take him to vet, it may be worse than you can know

8:53 pm

mab

me too

8:53 pm

welki

hello, folks. reading back - i agree with jilly. besides, phan, you won't get a wink of sleep tonight if you don't take him

8:54 pm

phandmd

yeah, probably not.

8:55 pm

mab

i am grateful to know about the multiple uses of salt water, nef. very good to know.

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

and if you take him before the vet has gone to bed it would be better for everyone

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

good luck to you both

8:56 pm

phandmd

Thanks, bugsaw.

8:56 pm

Nef

With the blood loss and apparent pain, it might be best

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

hugs and prayers phand!

8:57 pm

phandmd

thanks, Jilly

8:57 pm

mab

yes, take care phan

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

Agreed bugsaw...LOL, remember my home health days...on call, the person had been constipated for days...the call would come in after midnight...

8:58 pm

Nef

(((phand & cat)))

8:58 pm

Nef

LOL,

8:58 pm

Nef

8:58 pm

phandmd

His name is Bagheera

8:59 pm

Jillyjill

Oh dear, I now rememer talking about him....that we had had a Bagheera....poor little kitty

8:59 pm

Jillyjill

*remember

9:00 pm

phandmd

oh, Jilly, I hadn't remembered that...

9:00 pm

Nef

toad

9:01 pm

Nef

(sorry, on phone and can't multi-task)

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

LOL....would you believe I missed that one...

9:05 pm

Bugsaw

keep those clues coming Nef

9:06 pm

mab

i missed that too

9:06 pm

Nef

:-P

9:06 pm

Nef

9:07 pm

thanks nef for salt water and reptile

9:08 pm

Nef

YW

9:35 pm

joso, I used to have them on a regular basis.....thought that kids moving out would help. Perhaps it wasn't their fault after all. LOL

9:35 pm

joso

hehehe

9:35 pm

grannyrose

peach, do hot or cold packs help?

9:37 pm

gapeach

Not much, Rose.......usually go into a darkened room and just wait it out.

9:37 pm

joso

got an aunt who gets migraines, where rare for her except chocolate bring them on, and she loves chocolate

9:38 pm

grannyrose

when i get them, i take 3 aspirin tablets, then a half hour later 2 tynelol

9:38 pm

gapeach

Aw, that is sad.

9:39 pm

gapeach

Aspirin or Tylenol don't touch these monsters I have.

9:41 pm

grannyrose

the aspirin are to thin the blood, so there isn't as much pressure on the blood vessels. but if a darkened room and lying quietly works, well that's good too.

9:42 pm

joso

visiting her place was like going on an easter hunt, she had chocolate stashed everywhere. She used to buy it on impulse, then decide to put it out of sight. chocolate in draws, behind shelf knickknacks, in vases, medicine cabinet, under seat cushions.
