My belief in a loving and forgiving God makes me always consider death bed interactions. We may all be surprised whom is where. I prefer the thought that what we do here on earth can separate us from God and that that in itself is hell.
12:06 pm

1:54 pm
Jillyjill
I think vision isi the most precious of all
1:54 pm
Wolvie
yah- me too. My Mom had glaucoma, and so i wanted to get a good baseline in while everything was functioning well. it runs in the family.
1:54 pm
Wolvie
wow Bich- sorry to hear that. not time to take the cataracts out??
1:54 pm
rubyfoo
my father had it as does dh

Hi, Wolvie. i went to Moorfields once and they put the dilating drops in but got the dose wrong and it took a week for my eyes to return to normal.
1:55 pm
bichon
Not, and not anxious to. If stronger glasses will work for now, fine
1:55 pm
rubyfoo
and everybody seems to be getting cataracts (does that mean I'm getting older lol)
1:55 pm
Jillyjill
mum has macular degeneration, now pretty much blind...tragic
1:55 pm
Wolvie
well with everything my mom went thru i want to prevent damage as much as i can- they think just some drops will keep me from getting it. pretty neat
1:56 pm
Wolvie
oh bich. my Mom was like that- then finally had them out- and was ever so grateful- she didnt need glasses at all after
1:56 pm
jaxx7
It is one of those things best caught early on.
1:56 pm
Wolvie
of course my mother would be much older than you lol- so she had them awhile
1:57 pm
rubyfoo
they used to wait until the cataracts were "ripe" but I don't think they do any more
1:57 pm
Wolvie
now i am going to see (cough cough) if i can focus enough to type in some words lol
1:57 pm
jaxx7
They can get too ripe and then the op takes longer and is not as successful
1:57 pm
rubyfoo
what a bad day for I mpaired vision!

You have been moaning about too many small grids - someone listened.
3:58 pm
MollyL
According to the board owner, the size of the grid is totally up to chance
3:58 pm

If you look each grid has some words from the one before
4:04 pm
MollyL
I'm not sure what that means
4:05 pm
jaxx7
There is a system.
4:06 pm

hi phand, hows the new job?
5:33 pm
phandmd
Hi, Annie, it i ok. It is exhausting. I had a patient tell me today that they need more nurses like me. That felt good.
5:34 pm
phandmd
how are thing with you?
5:34 pm
Anniebrook
Then you are a blessing. Good for you.
5:34 pm
Anniebrook
Im okay.

Anniebrook
lol. Im good.
5:35 pm
phandmd
just making sure. :)
5:36 pm
Anniebrook
You are a good nurse. :)
5:37 pm
phandmd
thanks. It is too bad that my other job didn't see that... Oh Well, it is there loss! I gain by not traveling 53 miles each way and getting paid 3 dollars more an hour!
5:38 pm
Anniebrook
Well then, they did you a favor.
5:39 pm
Anniebrook
Now, instead of traveling 53 miles each way, you have more time to babble.
5:39 pm
MollyL
I could not handle a commute that long
5:39 pm
phandmd
lol, yup!
5:39 pm
Anniebrook
It is almost 4 hours a day with traffic.
5:40 pm
phandmd
fortunately it was a no traffic commute, I would not have been able to handle going to Rockville, Baltimore, or DC from here.
5:40 pm
phandmd
otherwise, I would never have taken that job.
5:40 pm
Anniebrook
what is your commute now?
5:40 pm
MollyL
Even a no traffic commute. I just can't spend that long in the car to get to work
5:41 pm
Anniebrook
quite a difference and more pay.
5:41 pm
phandmd
so it is like getting paid even more than the $3/hour!
5:42 pm
Anniebrook
I've been doing this grid on and off all day and I still need 36 more.

Hi All. back to try and finish.
6:43 pm

Phan, how is your friend doing? (the one who went missing) Not wanting details about her situation, just hoping things are better for her now.
6:43 pm
HarryHood
good luck hego
6:44 pm

189 to go here
6:44 pm

Phan's been smoking ribs.
6:44 pm

good luck Harry!
6:45 pm
phandmd
Molly, I wish I knew. I have reached out to her and she has not responded. I am just glad she was ok.
6:45 pm
phandmd
Hego, correction, my husband has been smoking ribs! I just enjoyed them.
6:45 pm
HarryHood
kid I went to HS with has been missing since last friday
6:45 pm
HarryHood
well he's not a kid now
6:46 pm

I have been meaning to reach out to her again, but haven't gotten a round to it yet...
6:46 pm
MollyL
That is awful Harry, I hope they find him.
6:46 pm
phandmd
shame on me.
6:46 pm
hego
Hope these people were not on a plane.
6:46 pm
MollyL
Phan, maybe she's embarrassed to talk to people about it.
6:46 pm
phandmd
It is aweful.
6:47 pm
phandmd
I guess. I did tell her I wasn't interested in hearing about it... Just wanted to be her friend.
6:47 pm
phandmd
awful even...
6:47 pm
hego
that's reasonable.
6:48 pm
phandmd
I should say, I communitcated by letter.

Metroit - downtown of a large Michigan city
6:49 pm
MollyL
Sometimes, when people are going through a lot of emotional turmoil, it's hard for them to respond. But I bet she was glad for your words of support.
6:49 pm
phandmd
Yes, which is why I want to reach out again. Thank you for reminding me.
6:49 pm
HarryHood
I'm finding no words, so I need to make new ones up.
6:50 pm
hego
sometimes that works Harry
6:51 pm
MollyL
It's odd how things play out. I have a friend who is finding out that her "if there is ever anything I can do" friends really didn't mean it. And then there are people like your friend, who have folks reaching out, but cannot respond.
6:52 pm
phandmd
yes. It is sadder to have no reach out though, I think.
6:52 pm
MollyL
I have found through my lived experience that people are very good with words and not so good with the actions to follow them up.
6:55 pm
phandmd
sadly that is true.
6:56 pm
phandmd
I have yet to find an 8 ltr or greater word.

OH, ok, ty Smores..lol
9:39 pm

If you use cocoa in the brownie mix, you have to add sugar. My recipe is a little different. You can find recipes for Bisquick mix on line.
9:40 pm
lilliann
Bisquick? that's the chocolate drink? I don't know if we get that here now. i remember it years ago
9:40 pm
smores
's a baking mix,
9:41 pm
lilliann
I could just use the hot chocolate mix thatw e get from our local supermarket as it already has sugar in it
9:41 pm
MollyL
L, you have two recipes mixed up. The Bisquick Pie is one, the brownie recipe is another.
9:41 pm
lilliann
OH ok, i just remember that we had a chocolate drink that was called bisquick years ago
9:42 pm
MollyL
Bisquick Mix is basically all the dry ingredients for biscuit dough with the shortening blended in. Do a Google search for "how to make Bisquick Mix"
9:42 pm
lilliann
Right Molly, i can use my normal drinking chocolate as it has sugar in ti
9:42 pm
MollyL
We had a hot chocolate mix called Bosco, I don't remember one called Bisquick
9:43 pm
smores
I don't either, maybe Nesquick
9:43 pm
lilliann
i'm sure we did, it was in a yellow container, but knowing me, i've got muddled with something else
9:43 pm
lilliann
That's it Smore...lol
9:44 pm
MollyL
I don't keep packets of hot chocolate as I make that from cocoa. That is why I have a different recipe.
9:45 pm
lilliann
Sorry, memory is like a 3 year old...saying that, they'll remember more than me....the bairn keeps having a go about my memory and i tell i can't help it
9:45 pm
lilliann
we don't have packets, we have them in round containers
9:45 pm
smores
I do too, but I still keep the packets around....usually buy up several when on sale... easier for the girls and also for camping
9:49 pm
lilliann
Anyway, i will write down your recipe Smores and change oil for marg and will use my hot chocolate mix, but thanks for the recipe.
9:50 pm
lilliann
Ty Molly too. i was always told to change a recipe to how i wanted it or to the ingredients i liked, which is true of all recipes, as they are only a? (word gone, i'll remember it ina minute

I can't have almond milk either allergic to nuts
10:08 pm
lilliann
I went onto soy milk years ago after my cousin had breast cancer and changed her diet, i didn't like the taste but it was alright if i added chocolate mix but then it was expensive and when my husband was made redundant we couldn't afford it and since then i've just gone back to skimmed milk but i don't drink alot of milk anyway
10:08 pm
rururocks
which is funny, because i'm not allergic to most of the nuts around here :D
10:09 pm
