2:21 am
sprite
lol Liz, you smart you!
2:22 am
rururocks

2:29 am
grannyrose
i cannot understand what she is thinking...it is so out of my orbit.
2:30 am
puglet
dont seem like shes thinking at all to me
2:30 am
Lizlin
Thinking? Don't think so!
2:30 am
sprite
just had a lesson in group about levels of functioning... our top level is human, our social part is horse, our lowest level is crocodile. I don't think Fang thinks. She is fully crocodile.

I think so, cool, much better for exercise than heat
2:52 am
Lizlin
Point and shoot! It was a canon Oxus - now have a power shot. Hubby uses DSLR.
2:52 am

cool is good. Heat is nasty when you have to carry and lift.
2:52 am
Lizlin
Sorry for shouting before!
2:53 am
sprite
*giggles* We all wanna shout at Fang, Liz, don't worry
2:53 am
Lizlin
Canon ixus.
2:53 am
Lizlin
I know, sprite but it was a mistake
2:53 am
joso
maybe SIL is deaf, maybe shouting helps rational thought get through
2:54 am
joso
and maybe it just feels good
2:54 am
sprite
perhaps you should give me Fang's email addy, rose

Night Peach--hugs
3:22 am
worzel
oh, can't complain - i'm gonna though lol!! Had a gastric problem last week (won't go into details but it was a wee bit messy lol) last couple days been so much better then this morning BANG it's back again. Flipping marvellous!! Still, at least I have you lot to keep me cheery xx Morning Pug xxxx
3:23 am
grannyrose
awww, worzel...not a good thing, dear...
3:23 am
puglet
such a poopy shame Wor--hope you get feeling better
3:24 am
sprite
not good, worzel. Off to the doctor, I'd say.
3:24 am
grannyrose
mother mac woke up today with the words...my urine is black...*sigh* i need this like a hole in the head...
3:24 am
worzel
I know - I'm fed up of being unwell now. I went nearly 22 years without seeing a doctor or taking a day off work and now within the space of five weeks I'm a geriatric old fart (at 42!) with incontinence, no appendix and a distinct lack of humour all of a sudden! You gotta laugh, though! I feel awful complaining though, considering the terrible times you are going through Mum so I'll shut up now lol xx
3:25 am
worzel
Sprite d'you know what? I went to the doctor last week and he said because I had a gastric infection I shouldn't have gone there in case I infected anyone! What a bloody cheek!!!
3:25 am
puglet
oh no Rose
3:25 am
grannyrose
*grin* worzel, you complain as much as you like, dear
3:25 am
sprite
dear Jezus, rose. Please please put her into external care for a couple of weeks... this is eating up energy you don't have.
3:25 am
worzel
Mum who is mother mac and what does black urine indicate (although I think i can guess)
3:26 am
sprite
so call the doctor and tell her/him to come to your house instead
3:26 am
worzel
No Sprite I'll just weather it - it's probably down to the fact I had an operation last month - I'm probably just prone to picking up infections at the moment - it'll pass, but thanks for your concern hun xx
3:27 am
grannyrose
worzel, mother mac the mother of my dearly beloved...black urine at my guess, is number ones and twos combined. she cannot feel the passing from her rectum.
3:28 am
puglet
sprite, while on sickness here--your cold may had played a part of you having a bad week
3:29 am
worzel
oh Mum - send her my love - and your husband, too. Sometimes wish I lived nearer some of my Babble friends in their times of need so I could come and comfort them in person or just help out a little
3:29 am
sprite
it certainly didn't help, pug. But it was more in my mind and emotions than in my body. Had to sort out a lo4 of sh** before I could carry on.
3:29 am
grannyrose
recently, we thought to try craisins, a combination of cranberry juice and dried grapes(raisins) for her current urinary tract infection.
3:29 am
sprite
yeah, I would gladly come over and help out until you were back on your feet, rose. Crazy stuff.
3:30 am
sprite
oh good thinking. Both very very good for bladder etc.
3:30 am
grannyrose
and i would gladly welcome you all
3:30 am
puglet
with Sprite there Rose, you wouldnt have any SIL problems
3:31 am
sprite
definitely not, pug, indeed. She'd never come by again, I think.
3:32 am
grannyrose
but my guess is that the craisins over-stimulated the bowel, hence the very loose bowel actions. have had her on dry toast and clear chicken soup for the next 24 hours.
3:32 am
worzel
Mum i just Googled black urine and came up with a thing called AKU - something to do with osteoarthritis. I'm no doctor, so don't take any notice of me, but if she has osteo then maybe this is the cause and, hopefully, it will be easily treated and nothing to worry about xx
3:32 am
sprite
oh dear... indeed something you don't need, rose.
3:33 am
worzel
oh bugger, sorry!!!
3:33 am
grannyrose
positive out look...she can't come to b urial tomorrow...
3:34 am
puglet
Iam with Sprite, put her into care--you got enough to deal with besides that and I cant see it being good for her to be out either
3:34 am
grannyrose
lol, worzel
3:34 am
worzel
Will be thinking of you tomorrow, Mum xx
3:34 am

3:44 am
Jackanory
Met a friend I hadn't seen for years in the weekend who described her 16 year old son as 'putrid', had to laugh
3:45 am
sprite
roflol Jack, I can understand her! At that age they just know it all, are incredibly arrogant and have no control whatsoever over their emotions and acts.
3:45 am
Jackanory
They keep moving all around the world every few years which can't help
3:46 am
sprite
argh... no, that is added stress and restlessness on top of puberty. Tough deal for them all.
3:47 am

3:47 am

great to see you back, jean. Have a lovely day *hug*
3:48 am
o-o
the lachrymal veggie has most of those letters, sprite
3:49 am
sprite
hi o-o, great to see you. Yes, the -ion ending works. But the -tion is a phantom and would have made so many good words!
3:50 am
Jackanory
I do enjoy your hints o-o
3:50 am
Jackanory
Keep them coming...
3:52 am

morning OO--such a sad story--Ian ashame of our forefathers over that
3:53 am
puglet
got doctor again today with sister :(
3:54 am
sprite
just read your profile as well, o-o. Very true. History is always written by the victors. Very sad story.
3:55 am
sprite
I hope things will be a little better, pug. You bringing the counted carbs?
3:55 am
grannyrose
o-o, any words of wisdom for a daughter about to bury a narcissistic parent? have heard from sprite and pugs.
3:56 am
o-o
Hello, puglet ... hope the doc helps
3:56 am
sprite
o-o knows so much about mental illnesses and their effects on life... and he is very generous with advice. Learned a lot from you, o-o.
3:56 am
puglet
yes Sprite but theres no changes in her levels yo-yoing. Iam begining to feel like a failure in her care
3:57 am
grannyrose
ugh, pugs...hope all goes well.
3:57 am
sprite
pug, you are the best thing that ever happened to her. Never doubt that. Bloodsugar levels can be very erratic due to no apparent reason. Might be a virus, might be stress, might be her hormones acting up.
3:57 am
grannyrose
pugs, not you who is the failure, hun. work on the stress/emotional levels, as i suggested.
3:58 am
puglet
Iam wondering due to lack of money to buy the better foods if that is a part of it--Iam just at my wits end on it
3:58 am

yayyyy joso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:59 am

don't think the food is to blame, pug. Looks like it is other things.
3:59 am
o-o
puglet, have you consulted with her doctor or nursed about her diet?
3:59 am
grannyrose
sprite, suggested to pugs, perhaps stress/emotional levels are effecting her sister's BSL's.

aw pug, i have no doubt you are doing all that can be done, it is obvious you care greatly for her and I'm sure she is much better off than she would be without your help
4:00 am
sprite
very likely, rose. I have seen that my BSLs spike like crazy as soon as I am under stress. Even before I realise my emotional state, my body is reacting. Much more than when I eat something less smart.
4:00 am
puglet
yes OO many times and we do good for awhile and then it all goes south and stays like that for awhile then goes back to normal again
4:01 am
grannyrose
sprite, pugs, adrenaline which is released in times of "stress " effects our blood sugar levels.
4:02 am
sprite
she might let the doctor check her hormone levels, too, pug. If she is starting menopauzing, it might make her BSL go haywire. Or / and stress.
4:02 am
grannyrose
good thought, sprite
4:02 am
sprite
ain't that the truth, rose, sigh.
4:02 am
o-o
rose, if anger, resentment and bitterness are involved, my suggestion is to begin the process of forgiveness. Hard to do but carrying around the negatives is not useful.
4:03 am
grannyrose
pugs, how old is your sister?
4:03 am
puglet
she says shes not feeling stress and Ive asked the doctor about the other and he dont think its that
4:04 am
sprite
very good advice, o-o. Am still working on that myself, with my own parents. Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. But not always easy to reach.
4:04 am
puglet
the exact words from doctor was to have her throw a brick into the store window and a stay in jail would put her where she has to do the right things
4:05 am
grannyrose
o-o, am with you bro'...so agree...have been through inner child workshops. have tried to deal with domestic violence...*shrug*
4:05 am
grannyrose
ahhh, pugs, early menopause, dear. will play havoc with our bodies.
4:06 am
sprite
that is very unkind of him, pug. Very. She is trying hard and you are doing all you can. I hope you will stand up to him and demand he has her hormone levels checked and consider stress as a factor.
4:06 am
grannyrose
pugs, a simple hormone blood test will tell you if you are dealing with menopause as well.
4:07 am
sprite
love it how rose and I speak as one, lolol
4:07 am
puglet
Iam going to ask him again on that---she eats stuff I sure couldnt --like oats with nothiing on them--and such
4:07 am
grannyrose
snap, sprite
4:07 am
sprite
pug, in all honesty, food like that would stress me out :)
4:08 am
grannyrose
brb, meds time
4:08 am
puglet
I would like for her to go to another doctor, but shes been going to him since a kid and dont want to change
4:09 am
puglet
me too Sprite--but thats how she eats things, plainn as possible
4:09 am
sprite
I think you have the right of it, pug. And since you are her caretaker, I think you should ask her to go see another doctor for you. A second opinion won't hurt.
4:10 am
o-o
being a caregiver is so difficult .... take care of yourself ... caregivers: http://tinyurl.com/5tsc89y

4:11 am
puglet
I think a woman doctor would understand more about the harm. things. This doctor is a old army doctor--though I like him cause he is blunt, I jst think a woman would be better on certain matters
4:11 am
joso
at a certain point it is her life pug. It might be easier to get her to go to another doc for a second opinion, instead of getting her to give up the doc she trusts .
4:12 am
puglet
If anyone is stressed its me--before long I will be on his table-lol
4:12 am
o-o
puglet, there maybe medicare help: http://tinyurl.com/98cda3u
4:12 am
sprite
*hugs pug* You are doing a marvelous job, hun.
4:13 am
o-o
puglet, ask if the a specialist the doctor may refer her to.
4:13 am
puglet
she has medicaid and some doctors wont take her--and good Ideal and I will read what you listed OO
4:14 am
sprite
that is a great idea.
4:15 am
puglet
I will heed all of the good advice from you all-thanks
4:15 am
sprite
and don't forget to let in our comments on how well you care for her either, pug.
4:16 am
puglet
I hope Iam Sprite but I wonder sometimes
4:16 am
o-o
pug, caregiver burnout would be a tragedy ... your well-being IS A PRIORITY
4:16 am
sprite
don't. I mean it. She is lucky to have you and you are doing a wonderful job. And listen to o-o. You need you-time.
4:17 am
puglet
I just want her to have a happy life too and see her smile
4:18 am
puglet
thanks guys for caring--it means alot-it really does
4:18 am
sprite
of course you do. But her happiness isn't your burden, sweetie. You can't make people happy.
4:18 am
o-o
her smiling would be wonderful ... you NOT smiling would NOT be
4:19 am
puglet
ahh guys you got me crying
4:19 am
puglet
w2g Sprite congrats
4:20 am
sprite
looks like o-o touched upon something very important there, pug. Something to check out very carefully and make sure you take better care of yourself in all this.
4:21 am
sprite
*big hugs*
4:21 am
puglet
hugs back and to you others too
4:22 am
sprite
have to be off. Thanks for being there and for being you, my friends. *hugs* and may you have a peaceful evening and a blessed day.
4:22 am
joso
you've taken on a hell of a job pug, and doing it very well, don't doubt yourself, if you make a mistake, fix it, don't waste time whipping yourself over it. When you doubt yourself think about what shape she would be in without your help.
4:22 am
o-o
be well, sprite
4:22 am
puglet
same to you Sprite--bye bye
4:23 am

I was thinking of you as I typed that "proper noun". Everything quiet on campus today?
8:47 am
hurshy
yes... seems most likely it was a hoax, and the "confirmation" that made them end up responding so extreme was an employee who saw a first responder with a gun and didn't realize it was a police person.
8:48 am
Anniebrook
Not funny at all. Glad you are all safe.
8:48 am

they said the original caller sounded "confused" so i wonder if it was someone mentally ill. perhaps hallucinating.

if god created man, then he should surely have a sense of humor

Yes, he created us to be amused

if he created Jimmy Swaggart .. that's proof enough for me
10:59 am
o-o
of course, we are incapable of knowing the ways of god ... but aquinas says we can know god ... doubt I would recognize him ...
10:59 am

and I doubt if Jesus Christ would recognize many Christian churches

4:27 pm
lbdawger
so, apparently panko is made from crustless bread. I googled crustless bread and all the recipes show bread with crusts! i'm so confused.
4:28 pm
lbdawger
TO, sounds like a perfect meal for you.
4:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i don't think you can bake crustless bread. you bake bread, then trim off the crusts. no?
4:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. but if you throw in some chicken, you get te flavor and another meal. that is my lazy cook secret for this dish
4:30 pm

And finished
5:39 pm

Imagine, a can of catfood with a post-it note on your birthday

5:40 pm
ChrissieDee
Diamonds are so last year!
5:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Well, I think he was trying to say that the present was that I could have a kitten. I wanted two kittens.
5:40 pm
kristin
Kaplan did you already have a cat
5:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
WHen I talked to the owner, someone had already claimed a kitten, and then I thought of the poor mommy cat, with her kittens taken away.
5:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I had two cats. Bebe died this summer. She was 20.
5:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Spooky died the year before.
5:42 pm

5:46 pm
stidgmere
Very nice story of kitten companion. Dogs are a lot of work, if my husband didn't do the lion share of the work with Murphy, it would not be very easy for me to have a dog, either.
5:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
of cat possession anyway.
5:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I know of someone who breeds cats and they have about 15 of them at a given time. Now that is nutty.
5:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I just want two so they would not be lonely.
5:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I wouldn't have minded siblings from the same litter, but I felt bad for the mommy.
5:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I mean, you nurse these things, and then they go off to strangers.

I felt like a do4/9 doing the puzzle today.I did not kn 4/12 alot of words in grid.I'm almost do4/5 with grid. Here is a story of clues for today's da 4/5: November 26, 2013. When I was in high school, I studied abroad in England for 6 months.It wasn't a whole lo4/5 of fun I did not like it at all.I lived in a very small to4/8 with a mean host family who made me share a small da 4/9 and dark bedroom with their tw 4/8 daughters. I had to ad 5/14 to their way of life. I felt al5/10 because I had no friends. I felt like a cl4/6 because I did not kn 4/8 any of the English phrases. Their daughters were sn4/4s and would sn4/5 fingers at me whenever they wa 4/8ed me to do something. To4/5 my parents how unhappy I was, but they did not give one io4/4 about my feelings. I wish I had had a cl 5/12 so I could have hidden somewhere else. I do not kn 4/12 how I made it through those 6 months. There was nothing ri5/10 about living in England.My hubby is being a pa4/5 and wa5/18 the computer. Husband wo 4/8 stop bugging me unless I give him computer. I'm going to give it to him so he does not cause a ri 4/4 and start yelling at me in a nasty to 4/4. I hope that you've made no4/4 of my clues and found to4/4 more words. I'm going to go watch the movie Cl 5/20 and Dagger. I will not be back here la 4/4r on so I will see you again first thing tomorrow morning at da4/9.Goodnight to all babblers

It has been quite chillly lately -- I think I lost a few of the plants that were on the balcony because it got really really cold overnight last week before I had a chance to figure out where to put them.
11:20 pm
stidmama
I think it has only actually dipped below freezing about four days, though. We get a lot colder here in the city than at home.
11:21 pm
firefly779
I'm hoping it isn't indicative of the season to come - I have to come over the pass again Dec 29, home on Dec 31, and I need it to be open and safe!
11:30 pm
stidmama
I don't mind the chilly-ness much, but I think we need more precipitation...
11:30 pm
stidmama
I think the passes will be okay for a while at least, but if they are going to be bad, I hope it's before you come and not while you are here!
11:31 pm

I have to take Grant's girlfriend home -- her little bird was munched this evening by a dog that was visiting and she came over pretty upset. *sigh*
