12:53 am

jillibus

Fine here -- very busy.

12:53 am

stidmama

I am glad you are here, though, Bugsaw asked me to pass along a message to babblers who know her... she is going to be offline for a couple months.

12:53 am

stidmama

busy might be good -- is it?

12:55 am

jillibus

I hope bugs is okay!

12:56 am

jillibus

busy is good -- getting my dane book republished among other things.

12:56 am

stidmama

not really -- she broke her ankle and is on total bedrest for a while. She will be okay, just not online.

12:57 am

jbp

i wish her a speedy recovery.

12:57 am

stidmama

thanks jbp and jill, I will let her know. :-)

12:58 am

jillibus

oh jeez -- I know abut broken ankles! But total bedrest? Not a good idea.

12:58 am

stidmama

It is for her issues, jill -- don't worry. The docs know what they are doing for her specific injury and she will be fine.

12:59 am

jillibus

No email? How did you hear about it?

12:59 am

jillibus

nbs, btw

1:00 am

stidmama

She was able to contact me, jill.

1:01 am

stidmama

ah, I got NBT without help for a change!

1:01 am

stidmama

easier to do with so many words though, so a shallow victory.

1:01 am

stidmama

a question about home building if I may, Jill?

1:02 am

jillibus

sure, shoot

1:03 am

stidmama

when you picked out your plumbing fixtures, were they the most expensive part? They are even more costly (it seems) than the lighting -- and that felt pretty extravagant for me...

1:05 am

jillibus

stid, our house was already built when we bought it.

1:05 am

flosey

red boxes again, darn what's the matter now

1:05 am

flosey

duse

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

I refreshed and they disappeared

1:06 am

jillibus

But I'm glad we got the Moen ones with the lifetime guarantee -- I've had my kitchen one servied twice with no problem and no fee.

1:07 am

jillibus

*serviced

1:08 am

jillibus

I(I got the red boxes too -- refreshed and had to wait a bit but it's okay now)

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

as 7

1:08 am

jillibus

got that silly one too, dee ;-)

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

:)

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

I love that word... so descriptive :)

1:10 am

stidmama

Thanks for the reflection on the Moen faucets, Jill -- that is what our plumber is recommending. Compared to the ones at the box stores they are WAY expensive, but if they last, then perhaps it's worth the upfront cost.

1:10 am

stidmama

((flosey))

1:11 am

jillibus

definitely worth it, stid.

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

We love Moen and Delta.

1:11 am

stidmama

thanks for the AS, too!

rhi stid, good to see you

1:12 am

Lizlin

Hi stid. If you contact bugs, give her my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

1:12 am

stidmama

we'll go that route. By this time tomorrow we'll have a roof... and then once the inside dries and heats up a little we'll have insulation, drywall, lights, water... :-)

1:12 am

stidmama

thanks liz -- I will definitely do that.

1:12 am

stidmama

mcurl! you're up! :-)

yes, it's friday and I'm at the Carmon's---you remember the night owl! but I am getting ready to head up

1:13 am

jillibus

I've been in this house for over 17 years now. The spray on my kitchen faucet stopped working properly a few months ago. I went to Moen online and found a similar old model -- ordered it, and bingo, it arrived promptly -- no charge, no shipping costs, easy to install by myself.

1:13 am

stidmama

right!

1:13 am

stidmama

We just got back from GRant's performance. i am so wired up, can't sleep...

1:14 am

stidmama

wonderful to hear that, Jill.

1:14 am

jillibus

He is one talented kid, eh?

1:15 am

stidmama

Indeed, and so gifted with physical comedy. :-) He isn't the star, but as a supporting player, he is most excellent!

1:15 am

jillibus

stid, I hope I can contact bugs too, but if not, please give her my sympathy too and tell her I'd love to hear from her.

1:16 am

Lizlin

Sounds excellent, stid, as does the progress with your house.

1:16 am

stidmama

I would send a card, jill -- I am not sure exactly where she is at the moment but I know Mr. Bugs would make sure she got anything that came in the mail.

1:17 am

stidmama

oh -- and the cool thing about the play is that a kid I helped out with school things a few years ago (I was his tu5) is doing behind the scenes stuff -- I didn't even know he was in town! He's actually as old now as Tom and I were when we got married... LOL so no longer a kid!

1:18 am

Lizlin

Scary when your ex pupils grow up!

1:19 am

jillibus

scarier, liz, when your little boy becomes and official Senior Citizen!

1:19 am

stidmama

does that make one a super-citizen then jill?

1:20 am

jillibus

super-senior maybe

1:20 am

Lizlin

Definitely super, jilli

OH.

Lizlin

Hope so. She made a mistake but I understand why!

2:08 am

sprite

yeah and mistakes are human.

2:08 am

Lizlin

People are not always who the seem to be.

2:08 am

gapeach

Very true.

2:09 am

sprite

especially not on the internet. And as long as we learn from our mistakes, they aren't so bad, are the?

2:09 am

sprite

they* even

2:09 am

Lizlin

There was a question about someone here yesterday. Ru and others had doubts.

2:10 am

sprite

we are all more alert after the whole nancyboy mess. New people have a slightly higher threshold to climb now.

2:10 am

Lizlin

It's better to be suspicious than gullible, even though many of us prefer to trust.

2:10 am

gapeach

I missed that, I guess. At any rate, I don't remember it...LOL

2:11 am

sprite

I am kinda stupid that way... I keep trusting. But nowadays I do line my trust with a tiny bit of wait-and-see.

2:12 am

Lizlin

My hubby is less trusting than me and often reminds me to be on my guard.

2:12 am

sprite

good hubby :)

2:13 am

Lizlin

Very good.

2:13 am

Haz1558

I'm kind of cynical as well. When both Colonel Gadaffi's and Sadam Hussein's daughters contacted me by e-mail to help them store their money, I didn't believe them.

2:14 am

sprite

lol... almost went to my son's room to ask him why he wasn't on his way to school. Had my hand on his door already when I realised it is Saturday.

2:14 am

Lizlin

So cynical!

2:14 am

gapeach

I believe, basicallyl, we want to be trusting....but every now and then we need to be aware that all people are trustworthy.\

you didn't? Jeez Haz, you can take it too far, you know.

2:14 am

gapeach

are not trustworthy.

2:14 am

Haz1558

I know. And so many bank officials in Burkino Faso who need to look after the money of clients who have died in plane crashes.

2:15 am

Haz1558

I just have my doubts about them. Like I said, I'm cynical.

2:15 am

sprite

you mean you don't help those either? Haz, you shock me.

2:15 am

gapeach

Oh, Haz, that must have been tough to handle.

2:16 am

Haz1558

Alarm ells start ringing when there are links to follow to find out about these crashes. I just wonder how many people are gullible enough to fall for these scams.

2:16 am

Lizlin

We get too many cold call about viruses in our computers! Hubby leads them on - we have macs but somehow they don't seem to know that!

2:16 am

sprite

enough to make it worthwhile for the scammers, apparently

2:17 am

sprite

lol Liz

2:17 am

gapeach

brb

2:17 am

Lizlin

Too many. I really hate people who try to take advantage of gullible people.

2:18 am

Haz1558

I do too, Lizlin. Elderly people are especially vulnerable and it's despicable to prey on them.

2:19 am

Lizlin

Internet makes it too easy.

2:19 am

sprite

that's the thing. It is often elderly people who are duped by it. The young generation has grown up with it all and knows to ignore those kind of mails.

2:21 am

Haz1558

General rule - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

2:22 am

Haz1558

Meanwhile, Colonel Gadaffi's daughter continues to seek someone to stash away her millions...

2:22 am

Lizlin

True

2:23 am

sprite

poor woman. I mean, to have such a father first, and then this.

2:23 am

Haz1558

She's had a hard time, that's true.

2:24 am

sprite

I can relate, you know. I know what it is to feel like a Cassandra.

2:24 am

Haz1558

Telling the truth but being roundly ignored?

2:24 am

sprite

exactly

2:25 am

Haz1558

Or should it be soundly ignored? Not listened to, at any rate.

2:25 am

sprite

yeah. Though in my case it might be because it is my name, lol.

2:26 am

Lizlin

Lol but a lovely name.

2:26 am

sprite

yeah am happy with it, grin. And every now and again, people do believe me ;)

2:27 am

Haz1558

Three lovely words 'You were right'.

2:27 am

sprite

:)

2:30 am

sprite

oh, I love your icon, Haz!

2:30 am

Haz1558

It's funny, isn't it?

2:30 am

sprite

very

2:30 am

Lizlin

Lol haz

2:32 am

Haz1558

I was once told that when serving a meal that you knew wasn't great to follow that maxim 'Never explain, never apologise'. Don't give the gu5/16 any hint that things might not be ticketyboo.

2:33 am

Lizlin

Good advice

2:33 am

sprite

good advice. My therapist sometimes reminds me of it. To save explanations and apologies for when they are really needed.

2:34 am

gapeach

I'm back.

2:34 am

gapeach

guds

2:34 am

Haz1558

I think so. If you're told there's a problem, you'll start to look for it.

2:34 am

gapeach

sorry

2:35 am

sprite

lol peach, nice comeback. Welcome back :)

2:35 am

gapeach

LOL thanks sprite

2:36 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, if people are waiting for their meal and the kitchen is full of acrid smoke, at that point you could probably say sorry but you want to be spontaneous and go out to eat instead.

2:36 am

sprite

lol Haz!

2:37 am

Lizlin

Probably evacuate in that situation!

2:37 am

sprite

my girl was performing last night, a few songs for small company. Her teacher said the same thing: if something goes wrong, pretend it is as it should be and people will think so too.

2:37 am

Haz1558

How did she get on, sprite? Did she enjoy the audience?

2:37 am

Lizlin

That's wonderful sprite. You must've been very proud of her.

2:38 am

sprite

she did very well. And yes, she enjoyed it. She got a lot of applause and I could see she loved that too.

2:38 am

sprite

I am, Liz. Took a lot of courage. And she did it, and did it well.

2:38 am

Lizlin

So happy for her.

2:39 am

Haz1558

That's wonderful, it's such a thrill to get applause and to know that all the work has been worthwhile.

2:40 am

sprite

it is. Only a year back you couldn't hear her over the guitar, she sang so softly. And now for an audience. She's grown so much.

2:41 am

Lizlin

Fantastic.

2:41 am

Haz1558

And it's lovely for you to see her mature and develop her talent.

2:42 am

sprite

yes it is. We were a very proud dad and mum last night. Well, still are, but right now it maybe shows a little less.

2:42 am

gapeach

Makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?

2:42 am

sprite

true, peach!

2:43 am

worzel

Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx Would somebody kindly tell me how many words today please? Looking at this grid I'm thinking around the 250-300 mark xx

2:44 am

Haz1558

286

2:44 am

Lizlin

Great guess!

2:44 am

Haz1558

You're a good guesser.

2:44 am

sprite

morning worzel, 286 today, 4x9, 8x8

2:44 am

gapeach

Good morning, worzel.

2:44 am

worzel

Wow what a guess, and thank you all and good morning to you Liz Haz Sprite and Peach. How are you all today? xx

2:45 am

Lizlin

Hi worzel

2:45 am

worzel

Hi Liz xx

2:46 am

Haz1558

Good morning, worzel. I'm a bit cold, boiler has problems and we're waiting for the boilerman to come and tell us if it's the end of the road for the boiler (20 years old).

2:46 am

sprite

how unpleasant, Haz

2:46 am

worzel

Awww sending big warm (((((hugs)))) to you Haz xx

2:47 am

Lizlin

Sounds like winters setting in over there!

2:47 am

Haz1558

I suppose it had to happen sometime. Maybe it's not as bad as we think but when we described the symptoms, even he, eternally optimistic boilerman, started talking about maybe needing a new one.

2:47 am

sprite

it sure is, Liz. Temps have dropped dramatically.

2:48 am

gapeach

Haz, please don't go to sleep until the repair man sees it. I had one catch on fire in the middle of the night, many years ago. It could have been very bad.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Radiating Queensland warmth over to all of you.

2:48 am

sprite

look on the sunny side, Haz... a new one will be much more cost efficient. You will spend less money on heating after replacing it.

2:48 am

Haz1558

It's ok, peach, it's switched off and is in the garage away from the house.

2:49 am

sprite

what a scare, peach!

2:49 am

worzel

Does anyone know if Mum is coping alright (Grannyrose)

2:49 am

gapeach

Oh, that is good.

2:49 am

sprite

she is, worzel. Rose slept for 10 solid hours last night and feels better for it. She is having dinner now and will probably be back after.

2:49 am

Lizlin

She had a really good nights sleep - 10 hours, so was brighter today.

2:49 am

gapeach

She was on earlier.

2:50 am

Haz1558

I'd actually be happy to replace it, the boilerman has always persuaded us to let it go on for as long as possible.

2:50 am

worzel

Well if anyone sees her and I miss her can they send her my love and tell her I'm thinking of her please? It was a year ago today that I lost my Mum-In-Law to be. Life is hard sometimes. I hope she's ok xx

2:51 am

sprite

lol I bet, Haz... after replacing it, you won't see him anymore for quite a while. Or he should be the one that does the yearly checkup.

2:51 am

gapeach

Well, it seems that he is an honest person. Many would just want to sell you a new one.

2:51 am

Lizlin

It'll make a huge difference, Haz it did for us ( when I lived in London of course)

2:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, he's been coming to us every year for many years. He always comes in for a cup of tea and a chat.

2:52 am

Lizlin

You know roses surgery is postponed until dec 2?

2:52 am

Haz1558

He tells some great tales of having to chase people to get money out of them.

2:53 am

worzel

I knew she was postponing the surgery, but it's good that she doesn't have to wait too much longer. Poor Mum is really having it tough. Everything seems to happen at once when it happens, doesn't it?

2:53 am

sprite

I always love listening to those inside stories. We offer all workmen and maintenance people coffee and it is true, they often have the funniest stories.

2:53 am

Lizlin

Bbl

2:53 am

sprite

it never ra5 but it pours, yeah

2:53 am

puglet

how long has it been that you left KY Peach

3:15 am

joso

hi all

3:15 am

gapeach

3:15 am

puglet

morning Joso

3:16 am

sprite

hi joso *hugs* How are you today?

puglet

3:16 am

joso

good, how about you all

3:17 am

puglet

better now that my headache subsided

3:17 am

gapeach

We moved to GA in 1977 and I lived here until I had the two strokes and my daughter took me to conn. and refused to let me come home....I was there 7 years, until something really bad happened and I moved back here. Been here for almost 4 years now.

3:18 am

gapeach

Hey there, joso. Wondered where you were.

3:19 am

puglet

such a terrible time for you it sounds like Peach--Hope life is better for you now

3:19 am

joso

laboring on the grid

3:19 am

puglet

with the elf, Joso?

3:19 am

gapeach

It is better now, pugs, in some ways. At least I don't have to fear for my life every day.

3:20 am

grannyrose

joso, sorry mate, was rapidly inhaling last of the macaroni cheese. doing much better after 10 hours sleep last night.

3:20 am

joso

with all that help tech can provide, still haven't found an elf

3:20 am

puglet

well thats good Peach--hope it gets even better

3:21 am

gapeach

Thanks, hon.

3:21 am

grannyrose

poor peach...not something anyone likes to have to deal with..particularly when feeling so vulnerable, as you were.

3:21 am

joso

so glad you got some good rest, and the appetite seems good too... cured send her home

3:22 am

puglet

Rose, glad to hear you got a good nights rest.That alone will help you get through things with a better state of mind

3:22 am

grannyrose

pugs, when email arrives, i hope you will understand, hun.

3:23 am

gapeach

Rose, I've heard about elder abuse for quite a while but I never, in a million years, would have thought it would happen to me.

3:23 am

puglet

if not I will ask Sprite-lol

3:23 am

joso

so glad you are in a better place now, woa, thats what they say when you are dead, so glad you are in a better place without being dead peach

3:23 am

puglet

thats awful Peach

3:24 am

gapeach

Joso, I'm still laughing.....and I needed to. That was so well put. Thank you.

3:25 am

gapeach

It was probably the worst time of my life....but here I am. God is good.

3:26 am

puglet

hugs Peach, so glad He got you out of that

3:28 am

gapeach

Thanks, pugs.

3:28 am

rose, back at you :)

3:30 am

sprite

peach, how horrible! Am so so sorry to hear that. So glad you are safe and at peace now.

3:30 am

joso

you should read the email describing my father's death, me and my wife come off looking like the keystone cops

3:30 am

sprite

lol joso!

3:30 am

grannyrose

peach, thanx for sharing. i understand, truly i do. now the mother is gone, i can finally speak out. my father almost raped me when i was 12...it was only because i screamed, that i escaped.

3:31 am

puglet

How horrible Rose!

3:31 am

sprite

oh God, rose. How awful. The 'almost' part doesn't even matter much, did you know? The impact is just as huge and bad.

3:34 am

puglet

I got molested by my uncle's boss when I was in the fourth grade and my dad blamed me for it--so I kind of know the feeling Rose

3:35 am

sprite

sure, blame the child. Am so sorry, puglet.

3:35 am

puglet

Its just something you never forget, its always on the backburner

3:37 am

grannyrose

yeah!!! pugs, and all who have been molested in any way by their elders...and it's not just females...it's okay to feel relief and elation at their passing.

3:39 am

sprite

it is, pug. It never leaves us.

3:39 am

sprite

true, rose. And with a narcissistic parent it is even stronger.

3:40 am

gapeach

Oh, Rose, I am so sorry. That has stayed with you all the while, hasn't it? This abuse wasn't sexual, I was attacked in my wheel chair....by grabbing both of my arms and squeesing them.....I was trying to get onto the front porch to put up the doggie gate when he grabbed me.....daughter pulled him off me twice, I called 911 and the officers wanted to arrest him.....it was a felony.....my daughter is a heart patient and there was no way that I could risk her having her heart stop.....I don't think I could have gone on living if I was the cause of her death. He tore the tendons in both arms, injured my rotater cuffs and had hematoma from elbow to shoulder on both arms.....Three doctors and two attorneys wanted to take him to court.....I had a lady stay with me until I could get things pulled together and get away from there. None of my family asked if I was hurt and would not talk to me because I called 911. It really hurts....but I have friends here and in KY and ALL of my peeps here and I am going to be OK.

3:41 am

puglet

man! we must have the largest line of diry laundry here-lol---never would I think of airing out stuff like this

3:42 am

sprite

oh dear God... peach... am so so sorry! And freakin' mad at the person doing that to you! Good for you you called 911, and wtg on getting away and getting your life back.

3:42 am

sprite

sometimes you have to, pug. Or it will fester inside and ruin everything else.

3:44 am

puglet

well Peach you had to do what you had to to protect yourself. And its their lost to lose your friendship.Thankfully you are away from there and can have friends now that really cares

3:45 am

grannyrose

peach.....hurrah for you....you have vented...at that is so important....not good about family....was it a family member which attacked you? you don't have to be specific...just a yes or no answer will be enough.

3:46 am

puglet

Has your arms healed Peach

3:46 am

gapeach

My ex-husband is a child molester....I found out in 1992. And I won't tell you all the horrible time that was. And since I became able to tell the story, I find that so many people have had the same thing happen in their lives and it does help to be able to talk with others about how things were then and how they are now.

3:47 am

sprite

horrible, peach. And I agree, talking about it, sharing with people who understand, makes a lot of difference.

3:48 am

worzel

Hi again guys xx

3:48 am

grannyrose

oh, peach, we share so much...you and i...my ex molested my youngest son...

3:49 am

grannyrose

hey ya kid...done with the grid already?

3:49 am

sprite

the bastards

3:49 am

joso

helps eliminate the unwarranted shame felt by association, among many other things. often tough to get it out, but so much better

3:50 am

worzel

Hi Mum - no, I wish! Horrible that I've come in whilst these conversations are happening. I feel for you all - and the little ones involved xx How's you Mum? xx

3:50 am

sprite

so true, joso

3:50 am

grannyrose

joso, also helps when you find a truly decent man....sic hubby...and yourself....and ruru....and crossy

3:50 am

puglet

I dont know what happen to mine, being so young.But for my father we had a rocky relationship most of the time I was home.But after marring and leaving I was able to somewhat forgive him and go on.The forgiveness was more for me I think.Although I cant say there wasent any loving feelings there

3:50 am

sprite

and my love too. Yay for good men.

3:51 am

grannyrose

worzel, had a good night last night, slept 10 hours...coping much better today. {{hugs}} you

3:51 am

gapeach

Son-in-law. The surgeon told me that they would probably give me problems as I get older and he was right. I had physical therapy when I got back to GA and that helped tremendously. I couldn't even raise my arms. The hematoma finally was absorbed and the physical therapy helped that. I'm sorry, I don't mean too be dumping all this on you all. I guess I'm saying that you all can tell me things and maybe, just by listening, I can be of help to someone.

3:51 am

sprite

forgiveness liberates the one doing it, pug, indeed.

3:52 am

worzel

(((hugs)))) back Mum xx Thinking of you at this sad time. Was a year ago today I lost my future MumInLaw - she was a royal pain in the ass, but she was marvellous and loved me as one of her own. xx

3:52 am

sprite

peach, you have every bit as much the right to vent a bit here as any of us. Am glad you got it off your chest. You went through hell. And you survived. Sorry that your injuries act up now, but I admire your courage and strength to survive this all.

3:53 am

grannyrose

awww worzell, so sad

3:53 am

puglet

Peach no need to be sorry for saying anything here

3:53 am

grannyrose

peach, any time you want to vent, but not here, my email is there, sweetie

3:54 am

worzel

yea. My fiance was unable to cry for months after she passed, but when she did it flooded out for days, which was good. She's very quiet today, as you can imagine, but hopefully I'll give her a smile or two along the way - and hopefully you'll be able to smile again soon Mum xx

3:54 am

joso

here to be dumped on peach, I feel it is a great privilege to be someone's trusted confidant, and I bet the others do too

3:54 am

sprite

well put, joso

3:54 am

worzel

such amazing people on here. Really love you lot xx

3:55 am

puglet

a big hug to all!

3:56 am

joso

rose is right too, this is an open forum, most babblers are way cool, but you may want to keep some stuff back for direct e-mail

3:56 am

gapeach

Oh, God, Rose! How is your son now....does it still haunt him? I will be praying for him too..

3:56 am

grannyrose

thanx, worzel...i think the secret to a long and happy life together is...share a joke/laugh everyday...tell each other you love them and never want to lose them everyday. DH and i never part, for even a few minutes, without saying...i love you.

3:56 am

puglet

where is OO and his quotes? He always knows which ones to put on blog=lol

3:56 am

worzel

I'd also like to extend a big hug to my future sis in law ChrissieDee who comes on here from time to time, as she will be feeling very low today as well xx

3:57 am

gapeach

Thank you, joso. It is good to know that there are men like you and the others here who are decent men. Thanks for the kind words and caring.

3:57 am

sprite

my love and I are about the same, rose. Always hugs and cuddles at leaving and coming back. Sharing jokes. Telling I love you to eachother. And not trying to change the other. Plus always wanting the best for the other. That about sums it up.

3:57 am

worzel

Mum your words are always so warm and thoughtful - even when it is YOUR time to have kindness showered on you. You truly are a blessing xx

3:58 am

sprite

We all you ChrissieD, I think. *hugs* Chrissie!

3:59 am

worzel

Me and my fiancee are just like big 10 year olds at heart. We NEVER leave each other's side and even if we have to we never stop texting each other. We're always joking, always taking the mickey out of people in the street (in good fun, obviously) and just basically act like giggly teenagers. Such a silly pair, really, but i've never felt anything like this before

3:59 am

sprite

we all KNOW ChrissieD, I meant to write

4:00 am

blessings to you Wor and it will always be so for you guys

4:06 am

gapeach

They are wonderful, I am sure, pugs. I have two rescues and they are just so loving.

4:07 am

lolol joso! Floor art

4:08 am

puglet

4:09 am

sprite

can they freely walk in and out then, pug?

4:09 am

puglet

not a bad ideal Joso

4:10 am

puglet

during the warm days yes--but in the winter no--I got about a half of acre fenced in for them.But after everyone takes a potty break on wet days I have a new pattern on the floor

4:11 am

gapeach

If you could invent those boots, I bet you could become a millionaire. ( but then your troubles would really begin) LOL

4:11 am

sprite

:D

4:11 am

puglet

thats probally true Peach

4:12 am

gapeach

Mine won'g get off the back patio when it rains....little woosies. As you can imagine, I have spoiled them badly.

4:13 am

puglet

Hubby has two rabbit dogs(which Iam not allowed to touch---hes afraid I will ruin them making pets out of them)

4:14 am

puglet

Sprite my pug wont either. I have to take her out and shes afraid of the dark too

4:14 am

grannyrose

my beloved friend robyn actually taught her dog to wipe it's feet on the mat as it came indoors...it was so funny, her saying ' wipe your paws' and then watching the dog comply.

4:15 am

puglet

that would be really nice Rose

4:15 am

sprite

Terra is a woozie too. When it ra5, he wants to do his business and then hurry home. But he loves being rubbed dry, that is a whole game for him.

4:15 am

sprite

omg, can they learn to do that? That is so cool! Might try with Terra, lol.

4:16 am

gapeach

Now that is a feat, Rose. No pun intended. I'm not sure mine would be able to learn that.

4:16 am

puglet

Rose does your bird make any messes

4:16 am

puglet

what kind do you have Peach

4:17 am

joso howdy

4:19 am

gapeach

Well, I'm not really sure....one is part hound and the other has some terrier in him. It has taken over three years for the hound to know that everyone who comes in the house is not going to hurt her. She was battered and was to be put down the next day when my neighbor rescued her. She is still very alert but is so loving.

4:19 am

sprite

it is a good one, pink. Big but with lots of series.

4:19 am

4:20 am

doesn't it break your heart, peach? Dogs with ptsd. It is terrible. But so good she found a home with you.

4:20 am

puglet

My boxer I got from the pound is so afraid of a flyswatter---if you pick one up she off hiding

4:21 am

pink17

l I often hate people because of the way they treat the beautiful animals

4:21 am

sprite

poor thing. That says enough, doesn't it. Can't believe people can hurt something so trusting and vulnerable.

4:22 am

gapeach

It is horrible, sprite.

4:23 am

puglet

I know nothing about her background--she was about 7month old when I got her and they had her about 4 months so whatever happen to her must of been when she was very young

4:23 am

joso

Shadow was terrified of thunder and lightning, it was hilarious, he never figured out he could not fit the same under furniture he did as a puppy.

4:24 am

sprite

beating a puppy with a flyswatter. Ok, my brain just ground to a full halt. Cannot understand it.

4:24 am

sprite

aw poor thing, joso, lol

4:25 am

puglet

is that why you called him thunder

4:25 am

puglet

4:26 am

sprite

lol pug

4:27 am

puglet

when I worked for the HS we had a dog come in that was so afraid of thunder it got stuck in a dryer vent trying to get into the house

4:28 am

sprite

that is heartrending. Am glad Terra isn't afraid of anything. Never had something bad happen to him in all his life. When there is thunder, or fireworks, he looks at us and when we don't react, he doesn't either.

4:29 am

gapeach

I'm suddenly exhausted.....can't imagine why. Thank you all for being who you are. I must begin to wind down. It's 5;35AM here. And I still need to do a few things.....Blessings to each of you.

4:29 am

puglet

one of the saddest thing I seen happen was a family brought in a 15 year old collie(like lassie) they gave her up due to getting a new puppy. Was so sad and I was so angry with those people

5:04 am

grannyrose

sounds almost luxurious, sprite. hope you enjoy...perhaps a short walk in the sunshine?

5:05 am

sprite

absolutely. Terra loves it. I cannot walk fast and I always let him sniffle to his heart's content. I walk on and then after a while he comes running after me, ears flapping, tail wagging, all happy dog.

5:06 am

sprite

sniff, I think. Sniffle is more like when you have a cold, right?

5:07 am

sprite

fireflies! Good grid today.

5:07 am

marty, my cat who has kidney disease and lymphoma

7:04 am

chj

gno gn words

7:04 am

hurshy

he threw up and then he still was clearly not feeling right, he was panting and breathing heavy and i was like, is he dying??

7:05 am

hurshy

well it turned out he was trying to pass some firm stool.

7:05 am

phandmd

oh, that is scary. I hope you have more time with him. How old is he?

7:05 am

hurshy

once he got them out he felt fine.

7:05 am

hurshy

he's 13.

7:05 am

joso

scarry, furball in the end?

7:06 am

hurshy

i think it's just that he hasn't had firm stool in so long that his body has forgotten how to deal with them. i don't know if his muscles can relearn that at this point or not.

7:06 am

phandmd

I have a 15 year old cat who is headed to Kidney disease and a 10 year old cat that currently has an abcess on her left front leg.

7:06 am

joso

has his diet or something changed lately?

7:07 am

hurshy

i switched his probiotics from fortiflora (junk) to proviable (good) so now his stools are doing better

7:07 am

hurshy

but maybe he can't handle it

7:08 am

joso

I expect the first time is the hardest, maybe it will get easier with practice

7:08 am

phandmd

is he on a wet food diet? That helped my kitty when he always had small hard stools and his bowels were always full. I started with adding fiber to his food, but now he doesn't need the added fiber his stools are always moist and stinky

7:09 am

hurshy

no, unfortunately he's been used to a certain kibble for years and has refused all attempts at diet change. my other two are now getting on raw food and it's great.

7:09 am

joso

jeez, we should pay this much attention to our own poop, lol

7:10 am

phandmd

hate it when cats are stubbern like that!

when the US has five percent of the worlds population and 25 percent of the incarcerated and guns are still prized over gun violence ... hard to be optimistic

one reason we have so many incarcerated was a really interesting conference of the private jail people which was held in colorado. . . i wonder if i can find that article again. . .

I see such rudeness, crassness, lack of good manners in the parents (and thus children) that I see in my office.

9:23 am

many want to go to jail ... they get health care and an education ... prisons are the treatment centers for the seriously mentally ill ... and state budgets are using education prisoners to reduce recidivism .... not much make sense

I hope he remains and easy baby. Babies' temperaments appear at about week 3, after 2 weeks of being in a post-natal coma.

Sorry, I am a realist so when parents are relieved with an easy baby in those first 2 weeks I warn them. But I also teach the calming techniques--swaddling arms, swinging, shooshing, suckling.

suckling?

et7, et + oriental; ***** but with an alternate vowel to start, et8 plural

Babies are so sleepy and dopey those first 2 weeks, then come to life week 3.

A pacifier or fingertip--babies love to suck--their main pleasure.

very interesting.. was just commenting this morning on how he seems to change by the minute.. I go googoo gaga with babies..

*poof*

9:48 am

Scrabbler

A cry is definitely a distress signal, one that needs immediate attention. Parents should never ignore crying.

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

bye je

9:49 am

bichon

What do you tell parents when babies cry for a long time and you've tried everything you can think of?

9:49 am

Scrabbler

Too many parents are afraid to "spoil" a young infant, but babies have no ability to self-soothe until age 4-5 mo.

9:50 am

o-o

I read that crying is a learned technique to get attention ... must be somewhat intuitive if the baby is in a coma

9:50 am

Scrabbler

If a parent is losing it then put the baby down and walk away, or bring baby to doc. But there are many things to try.

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Not a real coma, just kind of sleepy and dopey those first 2 wks, with brief periods of alertness, mostly to feed.

9:51 am

Scrabbler

Crying is not a learned technique in young infants. It is a way to communicate--hunger, pain, discomfort.

9:51 am

bichon

When do you start to think colic?

9:52 am

hego

most go. hagd All.

9:52 am

Aloyisius

bye hego, nice to see you!

9:53 am

car.eeyore

Bye hego!!!

9:53 am

Scrabbler

"Colic" = unexplained, excessive crying in an otherwise healthy, growing baby. Two views: one is GI discomfort and now probiotics have been shown to help. Second, high-intensity temperament--some babies react easily and strongly to stimuli.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Colonization of the gut is necessary for healthy digestion, and it takes some time after birth for this to occur. Probiotics can accelerate the process.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Hego.\

when my daughter was an infant she would cry continuously every night at 5:00 for on hour. Who knows why! Started at about 2 months and last about 6 weeks. Would walk her around the house and rock her. Not hunger not wet - just the witching hour!

9:56 am

Scrabbler

River, many babies "lose it" every evening. I think, after a day of overstimulation, they need to let off steam, in a way. Just like us after a long, busy day.

9:56 am

OH!!!!!! Congrats River!!!!!

9:56 am

Yay for you, and the cats, River!

9:57 am

ex utero life is SO different than in utero life, so those first few months are so challenging for babies. Their nervous system cannot handle the sensory input.

I have a pinched nerve, too, but, luckily, it only acts up rarely. I call it the "ice pick" pain and my husband pulls my feet which helps a little

10:09 am

bichon

embarassing dental attachment?

10:10 am

rubyfoo

it's great that peri has become a babble noun as well as a babblet

10:10 am

Scrabbler

12:58 pm

hego

andso am I. :)

12:58 pm

rururocks

I made risotto last night .. and while it was good it was lacking something.. I need to work on it.. it is so damn labor intensive

12:58 pm

cybernan

after 50 years, I'd like someone (who shall remain unnamed) to take a turn

12:58 pm

rururocks

LOL NAN

12:59 pm

hego

did you put wine in the beginning?

12:59 pm

rururocks

yes

12:59 pm

hego

start by sauteing onions?

12:59 pm

rururocks

I did shallots and Onions

12:59 pm

hego

throw in butter and Parigiano to finish?

1:00 pm

rururocks

asiago and butter .. yes

1:00 pm

hego

of course the stock is mportant too.

1:00 pm

rururocks

maybe that was it.. it was homemade stock.. but maybe it was too bland

1:01 pm

hego

used to make my own meat stock for risotto

1:01 pm

hego

Sounds like you did it correctly

1:01 pm

hego

maybe it just needed more salt.

1:02 pm

rururocks

I felt like it needed some herb or something.. I seared some scallops for the top.. they were great.. the risotto was rich but bland

1:02 pm

hego

asiago is not nearly as salty as parm.

1:02 pm

rururocks

that could have been the problem

1:03 pm

hego

tradionally, no herbs are used, but you can put what you like of course.

1:03 pm

cybernan

1:11 pm

hego

that's a pain

1:11 pm

rururocks

no kidding

1:11 pm

rururocks

I probably will make turkey stock anyway.. and pretend it's chicken :D

1:12 pm

hego

that'll be different

1:14 pm

rururocks

there is only so much room in the freezer I have a lot of tomato sauce made up from summer tomatoes

1:15 pm

Aren't we so lucky? I admire anyone who is kind enough to adopt. It is one of the best things a human being can do for another. If I had not been adopted I do not think that I would not be alive. My biological parents are not.

Asgard was the god's realm, Valhalla was a small part of it, set aside for the warriors paradise where they fought all day and pieced themselves back together in time for the evening feast. Balder, an odin son, was the most loved of all the gods.

joso

the bench would be a seat at the feast, at balder's table

Asgard was one of 9 realms, midguard was earth's, hel was the land of the dead (except great warriors)
