hi jilli

12:23 am

jillibus

busy day here -- proofs for book arrived

12:24 am

rururocks

book? a new book?

12:24 am

lynxxx

have you finally written your life story Jilli!!?? Hooray

12:25 am

jillibus

no,lynn, this is a reprint of my Great Dane book.

12:26 am

rururocks

nice jilli more royalties.. good for you

12:27 am

jillibus

It won't interest anyone here -- it's called The Time Traveller: the development of the Great Dane and is a history of the breed since its first registrations, with pedigrees and pictures going way back.

12:27 am

lynxxx

Good that the demand is still there Jilli - now we'll all just wait patiently for YOUR story. PS the dance I saw you talking about yesterday is here - weird

12:28 am

jillibus

ruru, I hope I live long enough to breqk even on this -- it's a print-on-demand publisher and I had to pay to get it done.

12:29 am

rururocks

wow.. i'm sure there are people who want it

12:29 am

jillibus

hey, thanks for the dance, lyn!

12:30 am

jillibus

oh yes, there are people all over the world who want it, thanks to Facebook's Great Dane groups -- serious breeders, judges, etc.

12:31 am

rururocks

I'll buy the first edition of your life story

12:32 am

jillibus

nice thought, ruru, but...

12:32 am

lynxxx

I want a signed first edition too...and make sure you have that amazing photo of your father in Egypt on the jacket

12:32 am

rururocks

I should write a book on puns

12:33 am

jillibus

fancy you remembering that, lyn! I guess it was when we had icon themes that you saw it?

12:35 am

lynxxx

Yes. It was wonderful Jilli...a photo that could not be taken again...I am sure you have many more.

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

anyone find the last 7?

12:36 am

lynxxx

What is that voice recognition software that will 'write' what you say...you should look into that Jilli. You always have such amazing stories to tell of your childhood etc

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

dragon naturally speaking (I think is the name)

12:38 am

lynxxx

yes - that's the one

12:42 am

jillibus

lyn, I don't mind typing. I just don't seem to have the time any more. When I did my book I had a husband who was very helpful -- now I'm alone and a lot older and have to do everything around the house and such.

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

very tough one

12:45 am

rururocks

I am not finding much

12:45 am

Lizlin

HI all and no disagreement from me!

12:45 am

puglet

Hello Everyone :)

12:46 am

jillibus

hi liz and pug -- and dee

12:47 am

puglet

Hi Jilli

12:47 am

lynxxx

I understand Jilli - when you have time look at the Dragon software - seems it would make such an undertaking so much easier. I think we all like typing but it is a bit off putting thinking that you would need to sit down for hours

12:47 am

lynxxx

Hi Liz and Pug

12:47 am

puglet

Hi Lyn

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

I have on 7 and sa 7... the other 7?

12:50 am

lynxxx

(now trying to get husband to buy it for himself - he is trying to write something and it is a bit painful to watch him "hunt and peck")

12:50 am

Lizlin

????? Wish I knew!

12:51 am

broll

also sa - a highly flavored sausage

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

ty bro!! looking

12:51 am

Lizlin

ty broll - and for the great clue :)

12:52 am

rururocks

note to self *study sausages*

12:52 am

broll

yw - I found it in my scrabble dictionary

12:53 am

rururocks

weirdo dy 6

12:53 am

jillibus

lyn, I sit down for hours anyway! I have lots of jobs to do on the computer for local occupations. In fact, I should be writing the report about the duplicate bridge club results right now! I've also done a copy of the journal my grandfather's second wife's wrote about their escape from the Boxer rebellion in 1900 when they were missionaries in China -- did this for my immediate family as a Christmas surprise -- now my many cousins in the UK and Australia want copies. Busy busy.

12:53 am

rururocks

actually study sausages didn't come out that well :D

12:55 am

jillibus

I prefer typing to talking -- nice to be able to change one's mind about how to word things.

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

found the tasty sa 7/52, but not the sausage one :(

12:55 am

jillibus

salami isn't in the grid :-(

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

ty ru for the dy

12:55 am

Lizlin

I only have 4s and 5s

12:56 am

lynxxx

sa4.88 we call them frankfurts here

12:56 am

broll

it's a weird one I never saw before - what you do with money + metal al***

12:56 am

lynxxx

sa7.48 that is

12:56 am

Lizlin

If you enjoy a flavour, Jilli, you might sa 6 it and then add a sometimes vowel for the 7.

12:57 am

Lizlin

I guess I knew the spicy sausage because they're sold in fish and chip shops in the UK.

12:58 am

jillibus

ty liz -- I should have seen that -- even thought of it. Too tired, I guess.

12:58 am

Lizlin

Glad to have helped, Jilli.

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

new word for me...

12:59 am

Lizlin

Is the 8 connected to on 7 (which I still don't have)?

12:59 am

rururocks

would someone clue the ol word please

12:59 am

jillibus

Lickety says the 8 is di8/50

1:00 am

Lizlin

1:38 am

rururocks

Klugman...God dang auto correct

1:38 am

jbp

1:38 am

jbp

but hey, maybe it could work ;)

1:38 am

grannyrose

lolol...i love it....made me really chuckle, and don is laughing too

1:39 am

rururocks

Did you have the cold coming on before the interview?

1:40 am

jbp

nope/, not at all, ruru. I came home and thought, I'll just take a little nap...

1:40 am

jbp

1:41 am

rururocks

Thanks, bichon. I started out thinking it was fairly easy; but slowed to a crawl after 25-30 words

11:19 am

uusue2

hi all!

11:20 am

Nef

Hi sue. How are you doing these days (I haven't been here when you've been on lately)

11:20 am

uusue2

we are good, nef! We are headed to Hilton Head for Thanksgiving week and are looking forward to some warmer weather there.

11:21 am

Nef

Sounds wonderful! :-)

11:21 am

uusue2

We are a little worried about Frank, as his tumor antigen levels were up, but they want to check them again before getting too excited about it

11:21 am

Nef

will keep him I'm my thoughts and prayers, sue.

11:22 am

Nef

BTW, I read you are having thumb trouble?

11:22 am

uusue2

thanks - we are trying not to get too agitated but it's not easy

11:23 am

Nef

with all he's been through; I understand

11:23 am

uusue2

oh, I have arthritis in my thumb, the shot seems to have kicked in now - it feels pretty good (better than before the shot, which was the idea)

11:25 am

Nef

I had surgery for the thumb "basilar joint arthritis" last year on the right; kind of dreading having it on my left though (I'm a lefty)

11:26 am

uusue2

the ortho told me that eventually the shots will quit working and then I'd have to think about surgery; I don't want to get the thumb fused, though, as that would make it very hard to play the piano

11:27 am

uusue2

I had "trigger thumb" surgery about 10 years ago, which seems to have fixed it completely - very pleased about that!

11:27 am

uusue2

kind of sucky how all these parts gradually quit working, though!

11:28 am

Nef

Sorry, my grandson just came and asked me to play with him; I showed him your picture after saying I was talking to a "girlfriend" in this game and he just looked at me like I was nuts!

11:29 am

uusue2

:-) give him a big hug for me!

11:29 am

Nef

Old age isn't for sissies, is it?

11:30 am

Nef

will do! At least he's *trying* to keep me young

11:33 am

Nef

(His mother wants him to be with him; she just made him go downstairs with him instead of being with me.)

11:33 am

uusue2

ok, must go get some work done, talk to you later!

11:34 am

Nef

Bye, sue. Take care of yourself (and Frank)!

2:58 pm

3:01 pm

dianedecoder

trying to figure out a silly little problem... my computer was in sleep mode last night, but it still does updates. My clock is gone and my google gadgets, e.g. temperature is in BRIGHT PINK !! I have no idea what happened.

3:03 pm

crosshair

interesting and odd:(

3:03 pm

crosshair

i do not have mine set for auto updates.i like to know what is going on and update only what i wish to

3:04 pm

dianedecoder

I'm going to reboot and see what happens.... also, Explorer 11 is trying to invade me !!

3:04 pm

crosshair

yes,when in doubt reboot first

3:04 pm

dianedecoder

Be back later !

3:28 pm

wvteach

** finito ** last word AN 6/21

3:34 pm

crosshair

yaaa for teach!

3:40 pm

dianedecoder

crossy.... I checked the overnight updates on the computer... and Explorer 11 had been installed!! So, I uninstalled it and all is back to normal.

3:41 pm

crosshair

explorer and i have had issues for years.so i have used google chrome for the most part

3:41 pm

dianedecoder

The funny thing was though... when computer came back on, I had about 15 analog clocks all over my screen from all my attempts to try to add it back in again. The bright pink lettering is gone too !!

3:42 pm

crosshair

maybe turn off auto updates and just set it to notify you.then you can check the list to decide what you want

3:43 pm

dianedecoder

I use google chrome for quite a few things, but it is still not my default. And yes, I have to go find the update controls.... I forget where it is.... LOL

3:44 pm

dianedecoder

found it !!

3:44 pm

crosshair

yaaa!! was just looking for you

3:46 pm

crosshair

under start/controlpanel/system and security/windows updates

3:46 pm

dianedecoder

and now it says: Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them ! DONE

3:46 pm

crosshair

yaaaaaa!!!!!

3:47 pm

dianedecoder

I used to have my computer set that way ages ago because I used to play a game that accumulated points for days if you allowed it to.... If computer updated itself, you would lose all your points !

3:48 pm

dianedecoder

Anyhow, all is well..... it's 2:49 jere amd -18 degrees!

3:49 pm

dianedecoder

here, even !

3:50 pm

crosshair

4:50 pm here and minus 1c

3:52 pm

dianedecoder

It was -25 this morning with a wind chill to -31 Brrrrr.

3:52 pm

crosshair

you westerners get all the good stuff early.you have to pay for that warm wind you get later on when we are in an ice box here in central ontario:))

3:54 pm

dianedecoder

We just get the upper edge of the chinook winds if we're lucky, however that type of up and down weather is hard on people. I'd rather it maintain an even temperature, even if it is cold.

3:55 pm

crosshair

you are quite right.the up and down is terrible

3:55 pm

crosshair

did you get your flu shot,diane?

3:56 pm

dianedecoder

The chinook winds usually miss us by about 3 hours ( about 290 km ) and yes crossy, we did get our flu shots :-)

3:57 pm

crosshair

corssy and family also got the shot last week

4:00 pm

(wasn't planning to return so soon; but found some leftover soup in the freezer that will be quick & easy)

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i so wanted some crab corn chowder

6:31 pm

Scrabbler

And I some leftover veggie soup which I made on Sunday.

6:31 pm

Nef

that sounds good! DH wanted to go pick up something quick; but I'm a cheapskate.

6:32 pm

Scrabbler

2nd wa5 clue?

6:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi scrabbler.

6:33 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have indigestion now. yuck.

6:37 pm

Scrabbler

Take Zantac--will work in 30 min.

6:37 pm

Nef

So what did you eat?

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have taken a lot of zntac lately.

6:38 pm

Scrabbler

Or chew a few almonds--also relieves heartburn quickly\

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

really i will try that just to see if it works for me.

6:39 pm

Nef

Really Scrabbs? That's good to know

6:39 pm

Scrabbler

I read a newspaper column from The People's Pharmacy. Or read their website--excellent info.

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will go get someright now.

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

good lord -came back just in time for that kmart holiday commercial

6:44 pm

Nef

I (evidently) don't watch the right TV channels. I've seen it online though

6:45 pm

Scrabbler

I am watching a rerun of Modern Family.

6:47 pm

Nef

19 words left (listed at 25 left) and I still hate this grid (my brain is on vacation, monkeys are doing all the work now)

6:48 pm

Scrabbler

30 left and I will not beg for clues to finish.

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you think it's funny? I think ive lost my sense of humorl

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

I love Modern Family--the only show that makes me LOL. So well-written.

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i menat the k mart commerical

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, I don't know that commercial.

6:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

check fb, mom posted it. the one with the guys with the jingly...bells

6:51 pm

Nef

(I've never seen it. I watch TLC, History Channel etc. instead of the usual ones.)

6:51 pm

Scrabbler

I don't watch much TV.

6:53 pm

Nef

I didn't think it was funny either TO. I guess maybe I'm too old to see any humor in it? Or too straight-laced? I don't know whichâ€¦.

6:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is right up therre with "ship my pants" and "big gas savings"

6:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

although i like the latter.

6:55 pm

Nef

I haven't seen either of those ads either.

6:55 pm

joso

I think it's a maturity thing, at 4 I, and most kids, thought gas passing was utterly hilarious, not so much any more.

6:56 pm

Nef

NOW it's time to eat. BBS

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

hi joso

6:56 pm

joso

hey scrab

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye nef.

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i dont understand, joso.

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

none of these ads used that kind of humor

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

18 left and I am done with the 4's, so that is enough for me. See you tomorrow.

6:59 pm

joso

well humor relies upon shock and surprise, at 4-5 potty humor, 10-11 f-troop and giligan's island shear genius,

7:00 pm

joso

as a teen, this hinting of sex, etc, etc,

7:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

i understand that; was just tyring to relate your comment to the subject of the discussion, which did not involve potty humor.

7:01 pm

joso

at this age, the add does not offend me, nor does it amuse

7:02 pm

joso

I was just saying what works at one age can fail at another

7:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh.

7:05 pm

joso

I can see the add working well for teens and young adults. on the other hand Abbot and Costello's 'who's on first' still works for me

7:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need two words including the un6. worda that begin with a preifx are a pain

7:08 pm

joso

un6, prep to raise sails

7:16 pm

joso

relates to an earlier word that means up sails away

Hi nef and others. I agree. But it means I haven't spent mucg time on it--so few words. I did look up the one everyone was wanting, I had it from an earlier clue=--the sa 6--and it's a sausage.

10:12 pm

Nef

So, RoundBarn, how's the book coming along?

10:15 pm

RoundBarn

I try not to panic. Got all the material in for the spring UW catalogue--big job--but quietyky tonight read over "Marketing Seed Corn" and remembered all the fairs we had corn booths at and the fun--not the midways, you quickly tire of them--so the book is coming. My" stagg has dispoersed though

10:16 pm

Nef

??? I didn't understand your last sentence there RB. But I'm glad it's still coming along

10:16 pm

RoundBarn

STAFF before it accidentally sent--Jerey's in Nepal, Mitch in Hawaii, Brian took a job with the state so that might as well be Katmandu--so I'm working pretty much alone. thanks for asking.

DH was once (late 70's) a seed salesman for a small farm seed company in SE MN. He always seemed to enjoy the fairs and farm shows.

10:18 pm

Nef

It wasn't a WORD, stud. ;-)

10:19 pm

Nef

That makes it a bit harder for you; doesn't it, RB?

10:19 pm

stidmama

10:19 pm

Nef

(I'd need a staff with a staff to poke me with if I was trying to do what you are!

10:19 pm

RoundBarn

we may have crossed at the fairs. They were my brother's joys--especially the Sandwich Faair that had a train funning around its perimeter--small guage--

10:20 pm

Nef

stid. (Stupid spellcheck!)

10:21 pm

stidmama

no worries, nef

10:21 pm

RoundBarn

yes, since everybody k left their part in the middle. Did I send you Megan's covers for Vols. 3 and 4?

10:21 pm

Nef

Did you cross into SE Minnesota for fairs? I know he never went across the state line while selling seed; but he did once he worked for the USDA

10:22 pm

dcseain

it won't take mi5ly? as in i was mi5ly inconvenienced.

10:23 pm

Nef

No you didn't, RB. I know you'd told me about 1 of them that you were thinking about (the picture of the barn)

10:23 pm

RoundBarn

I have data on the fairs--I know Dad had salesmen in Minnesota, so maybe we had a booth up there once--I'll look when we start archiving that material--if Brian ever comes back--

10:24 pm

I've been trying to watch the Dr. Who Marathon on BBC America yesterday and today; but I get really nervous about suspenseful shows.

10:33 pm

Nef

Anyone else a Dr. Who fan?

10:33 pm

penquis

i like the show...but i can't watch new ones...don't have BBC...

10:34 pm

Nef

from what I can tell, it's going on 24/7 all week (it's the 50th anniversary treat)

10:35 pm

penquis

well i can't see it....there is also a special show with the current and last Dr. Who that will be shown...

10:35 pm

dcseain

yay Dr Who! Been watching it my whole life. :)

10:37 pm

Nef

I started watching it in the late 70's; but I find I have to leave the room if it gets too tense.

10:40 pm

dcseain

I started watching in the late 70s also, but WMPT channel 22 out of DC ran all from the beginning and came in sync in the early 80s. I'm working now on the 3 most recent docs.

10:40 pm

dcseain

not having TV for a decade, i've missed those.

10:41 pm

dcseain

bbs, fussy baby, dad's out of town, gonna go give mom a break from screaming child.

10:41 pm

penquis

i saw the shows with the doc just before this one...used to be on pbs.....also saw a lot of the old shows...

10:42 pm

Nef

We are all big fans of Dr. Who; from DH down to our 4 1/2 yr. old grandson. Last year my daughter dressed as the Tardis for Halloween (she made up the costume hereslf0

10:43 pm

penquis

very cool!

10:43 pm

Nef

they never seem to sunbathe old ones here on PBS.

10:44 pm

penquis

they don't here either....they did carry the David Tennant Who when he was on....

10:44 pm

dcseain

living in a place with 5 PBS stations, we get a lot of stuff between them. I think only three are PBS today, and the other tow are IPS now.

10:44 pm

Nef

IPS? what's that?

10:45 pm

dcseain

International Public Service -- the int'l equal to PBS.

10:46 pm

Nef

okay (I was unaware there was such a thing)

10:47 pm

dcseain

channels 53/56 (UHF -- don't know what they are today) always carried a lot of non-English programming. 56 used to run foreign newscasts in native languages most of the day, and Spanish and Chinese soap operas in the afternoons.

10:55 pm

oh, North America is not lacking for Dr Who fans, not least BookDoctorGwen :)

10:56 pm

are the dr's fans more efficient than central air?

10:56 pm

Lizlin

The dalek icon is a big clue!

10:57 pm

Jacula

HI all! If the Dr. Who Live Experience ever tours the USA, be sure to go and see it. We saw it 3 years ago and it was fantastic.

http://www.youtube.com/wat\nch?v=NhZEBLI-inU

11:01 pm

o-o

I imagine a live experience is profoundly more fantastic than a dead one ...

11:01 pm

Nef

thanks, Jac. (took me a while to get it to work)

11:02 pm

rururocks

Tell that to Jesus BR. ..

11:02 pm

dcseain

good to know, jac, thanks :)

11:03 pm

o-o

why would an atheist say that?

11:05 pm

rururocks

Wasn't his death more fantastic

11:05 pm

Nef

Well, I had to change channels now because I've had enough excitement for the night.

11:05 pm

Jacula

When the daleks were on stage and rising above us and the cybermen were on screen, and on stage, and the sound of their footsteps was resounding through the theatre, cybermen appeared amongst us and we all cringed in case our shoulder would be the one clasped. At that point, my Other Half grabbed his daughter's shoulder and she nearly shot through the roof. If was hilarious!

11:05 pm

Nef

Does anyone need any clues before I go?

11:06 pm

rururocks

Lol nef

11:07 pm

Nef

okay, then. Good Night ALl! And Happy Babbling!

11:08 pm

Jacula

'Night Nef. Sleep well.

11:08 pm

o-o

Your perspective is interesting but not coincidental to mine.

11:10 pm

Jacula

I've never hidden behind the settee because of Daleks, and I have watched Dr. Who since episode 1 (which was aired on the same day JFK was asassinated). I've never been scared of the Cybermen either. But the weird wheele bins and the Stone Angels scare me. lol

11:11 pm

rururocks

I mean son of God and all that. ..that's fairly fantastic don't you think?

11:11 pm

o-o

Perhaps for believers?

11:12 pm

Jacula

ruru - I guess that means if you mean fantastic as 'marvelous/wonderful' or 'a fairy tale/unbelievable'. Having said that... fairy tale and unbelievable have taken on different meanings from the original these days.

11:13 pm

o-o

Hello, Jacula ... fear has been a fellow traveler.

11:14 pm

Jacula

Hello o-o. If fear doesn't travel alongside you I don't think you are living. Fear spurs us on.

11:14 pm

rururocks

Wonders if Fear has travelers insurance

11:15 pm

o-o

Not always ... sometimes I just pull the covers over my head and pretend no one can see me.

11:16 pm

Jacula

ruru - Fear probably wouldn't get cheap insurance, though insurance itself feeds on people's fears.

11:17 pm

Jacula

o-o - They can't see you until until your creep a hand out to switch on the light, having heard a noise. Of course, at the point between leaving the cover and reaching the lamp switch they might get ou.

11:18 pm

o-o

Darkness is my ally ... I know it well.

11:19 pm

Jacula

o-o - That makes you sound like a creature of the night, which you may well be. Darkness is also a comforting blanket, a cover. In some people it evokes fear, in others a feeling of safety.

11:21 pm

Jacula

I assume no one here needs any grid clues, since Nef asked earlier and no one said they did?

11:21 pm

o-o

A creature ... yes, I am ... undefinable and an enigma

11:22 pm

Jacula

Really, o-o? Who told you that?

11:22 pm

Jacula

Not the first bit, since we are all creatures.

11:23 pm

rururocks

Bad therapists jocular

11:23 pm

rururocks

Dang auto correct

11:23 pm

Jacula

ruru - I am quite 'jocular' but my name is Jacula. xx

11:24 pm

rururocks

That is jacula..not jocular

11:24 pm

Jacula

lol

11:24 pm

Jacula

As for the bad therapists part, I'll wait to see what o-o has to say about that.

11:25 pm

o-o

people I paid ... many ... what an honor.

11:26 pm

Jacula

o-o, I don't know how long ago you had 'therapy' but I can say from personal family experience that it may not seem to be doing anything at the time but you might see the light 10 - 15 years later. Having said that, I avoid therapists like the plague.

11:29 pm

o-o

One major premise for me is not to let others define me ... I prefer this: "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." - Winston Churchill

11:29 pm

Jacula

I have found that you get through stuff in 10-15 years all on your own anyway. However, I will say that if you have a condition that is caused by a chemical mixup/breakdown in the brain, medication might be of help, but only if it is carefully monitored.

11:30 pm

Jacula

o-o, I agree with you about not letting others define you. People are far too free and easy with slapping labels on now.

11:30 pm

rururocks

Medications are not always the answer

11:31 pm

Jacula

ruru - No, they are not and can sometimes make things worse.

11:31 pm

rururocks

Yes

11:32 pm

Jacula

The trouble with mental health is that most health professionals know sod all about it.

11:33 pm

rururocks

The problem is that many don't know how to help

11:33 pm

Jacula

How the brain works or does not work is the last enigma of the human body.

11:33 pm

dcseain

A member of our state senate is in hospital with stab wounds, and his son dead by self-inflicted gunsot, due to lack of mental care for the son on the part of the public health system. :/

11:34 pm

dcseain

that happened on Wednesday here.

11:34 pm

Jacula

ruru - They don't know how to help because they've not been trained to, and, even if they had, financial constraints might tie them.

11:34 pm

Jacula

dcs, that's sad.

11:35 pm

rururocks

Often Therapists are a bigger mess than their patients

11:36 pm

dcseain

it is, indeed. Sadly, that lack of sufficient public funding for that is a long-time problem here in Virginia.

11:37 pm

rururocks

That is a national problem dc..

11:37 pm

o-o

I could talk for hours about my experience with the mental health system ... instead, as I have always known, I am responsible for my well-being .... many professionals have helped me learn how to.

11:38 pm

rururocks

It is criminal that so little funds are directed to help those in need

11:39 pm

o-o

prisons now are the treatment centers for the more serious mentally ill

11:40 pm

Jacula

We had an incident last weekend, local to me, where a man was on the wrong side of the safety bars and threatening to jump off a bridge onto a busy motorway below. The incident lasted for 27 hours as police specialists tried to talk him down. There was total gridlock on the roads all around and some self-centred people on social networks urged him to 'just jump' and 'get it over with' so they could get home. Some people were trapped on the road for 5-7 hours with no facilities, but where was their compassion? They couldn't understand why the police/fire etc., hadn't put an inflatable under the bridge and then tasered him down. Since it is local, and my Mum knows a lady who works at the clinic he was eventually taken to, I know that they couldn't take him down quickly, so thus not 'inconvenience' the public, because he had a noose tied around his neck and to the railings. This fact has not been made public.

11:40 pm

rururocks

That is true

11:42 pm

Jacula

I despair of people who judge others so freely now.

11:43 pm

rururocks

What do you mean

11:43 pm

Jacula

ruru - Are you asking me that or o-o?

11:44 pm

rururocks

You .. judge how ?

11:45 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay, ruru. I was talking about the people on social media who were urging the man to 'just jump and get it over with'. Selfish nutter was another label. Would they have said that if it was a member of their own family?

11:46 pm

rururocks

I think it is human nature for people to judge others..I see it here all the time. The social media people can kiss my are

11:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all. not to butt in, but, why would anyone post something on social media directed at someone who was on a bridge ready to jump? do they really think he would be checking facebook at such a time?

11:47 pm

rururocks

Facebook and the like turns people into b itchy people..bullies.. and whiners

11:48 pm

Jacula

The act of suicide IS 'selfish' in a number of ways. Firstly, the person is locked in their own perception of themself as being worthless and 'who would miss me anyway?' They're not thinking straight and so don't think about the effect their actions might have on others.

11:49 pm

rururocks

Suicide is an act of anger. Period

11:49 pm

Jacula

Hi Gwen. I totally agree with you! But I wonder why they would be so mean and selfish. After all, he might have a phone in his hand to see if someone loved him.

11:50 pm

rururocks

Self absorbed twits jac..

11:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some people are assh@!#s

11:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hopefully some of the people posting "just jump" were making sick jokes, not really hoping he would jump

11:51 pm

Jacula

ruru - I disagree. I don't think anger is the only emotion involved. I think it's a mishmash of negative emotions that all come together in what the person thinks of as a moment of clarity.

My partner was the victim of a suicidal person. It turned out at the inquest, many months later, that the man who had thrown himself under the wheels of my chap's truck, to be burst like a bloody feather pillow, had suffered from long-term depression, had made 2 previous suicide attempts and made many threats to before those. I've no idea if he had sought help before the day he finally succumbed the the rule of 2; saw trucks coming out of the depot. Truck 1 approached and he lost his nerve, Truck 2 approached and I guess he took a deep breath, then came Truck 3, driven by my partner...

To say this has blighted my partner's life wouldn't be too mild. He has nightmares, flashbacks, slams his foot on the brake pedal in his sleep, scream, 'NO! NO! NO!' He doesn't do it every night now after over a decade, but I don't need to be told when the anniversary is near because... well, you know.
