hello rbud :) How have you been?
1:25 am
rbud
pretty good. getting by. recently moved our son and his gf to an apartment in the next town, and trying to keep them there, lol! much more peaceful here.
1:26 am
sprite
roflolllll oh I believe it! Were they the last ones to leave the home?
1:27 am
rbud
weeelllll... our daughter is still here with her bf. she's older, but much less hassle.
1:27 am
sprite
ok, so the coop isn't empty yet. Anyway, nice going, a lot more peace is a wonderful thing.
1:28 am
rbud
so far, however, our son's been back out here nearly every day for a while - he's having a rough time adjusting, I think. Today was his 23rd birthday, and he's lived here since he was 4 months old.
1:29 am
rbud
only been moved out for almost 2 weeks.
1:29 am
sprite
oh dear, lol. Yeah, will take some time to get used to it for him. But it will go quicker if he spends some time in his new place.
1:31 am
rbud
he needs to find some kind of work, I think that would help - but he's not very motivated. she makes enough for them to live on, I think, if she'd quit buying clothes and convenience foods. not much of a cook.

GREETINGS FRIENDS
1:32 am
rbud
when I think of how I was running my household at the age of 18... and going to college, and working...
1:32 am
sprite
such a shame! Such a young man and then content with sitting at home? At your home, that is, grin.
1:32 am
rbud
hiya puglet!
1:33 am
sprite
*hugs pugs* Hello dear friend, finally we meet in babble again, lol. Set my alarm to make sure.
1:33 am
rbud
he's easily bored. ADHD and all that.
1:33 am
puglet
Hi rbud, how are you
1:33 am
melonheadjujube
hi, rbud, mom of a near 23-year old here.
1:33 am

hugs and love Sprite :) at last!
1:33 am

good grief, yes rbud. Me too. Household, study, job, taking care of mother and her home.
1:34 am

hi, puglet, sprite.
1:34 am

hi melon :)
1:34 am
puglet
Hi Melon, how are things with you
1:34 am
sprite
yeah but lots of people with ADHD hold good jobs and work just fine.
1:35 am
rbud
but it would have to be something that really interested him. not sure what that would be.
1:35 am
puglet
things better Sprite
1:35 am
melonheadjujube
I'm fine. Big changes. Thanks to a tireless case manager, my son moved into a group home this week. On short notice and into a great neighborhood!
1:36 am
sprite
oh melon, how wonderful! Congratulations. Time for some peace for you.
1:36 am
puglet
oh that good Melon and I bet a big refief on you too
1:36 am
sprite
pugs: yes, things are ok here. How about you?
1:36 am
rbud
hi, Melon, good to hear! congrats.
1:36 am
puglet
its okay here too
1:37 am
melonheadjujube
For all of us. He was hospitalized for the second time in a month. At last tho, my ex and my daughter are on the smae page with me. I had wanted to start this process a year ago and they fought it all the way up until he stayed a few months with each of them (we all live within a mile and a half of each other). They had the big "Welcome to my world" moment.
1:38 am
puglet
wheres that Rose at?
1:38 am
melonheadjujube
He was ready, too.
1:38 am
sprite
very good, melon. The only way, I think.
1:38 am
sprite
don't know, pugs, she is online but not in chat, so far.
1:38 am
puglet
well its about time they did , Melon
1:39 am

how are you doing with your OP. healing
1:39 am

oh no, thats not usually good when she does that
1:39 am
rbud
I need a darn 6 letter word, hmmm... (for nbs and nbt and that good old mediocrity, lol)
1:40 am
melonheadjujube
Yes, indeed. Right now he's in a post-manic crash. His new home is a quiet place, run by the family who lives on the second floor. It's close to us, but also far enough away from some hangouts of his that were not so good.
1:40 am
sprite
di6 plural same
1:40 am
sprite
sounds just about perfect, melon
1:42 am
melonheadjujube
I could not ask for better. Often a discharge to a group home on short notice involves downright scary neighborhoods. My son, otoh, is in Shaker Heights.
1:44 am
puglet
Iam so glad you found such a nice place so close for him Melon
1:44 am
torgone
Shaker Heights is very nice ..
1:44 am
puglet
Hi torgone
1:45 am
torgone
Heyas kids ..
1:46 am
melonheadjujube
yes, indeed. It is not cheap. Rent is a few hundred over his SSI benefit. The ex and I are splitting that balance. Hopefully, our son will eventually work part-time and be able to cover his expenses one day. This is a while off however. I'm grateful to have the means to help him.
1:46 am
sprite
hi torg :)
1:47 am
melonheadjujube
Wow, I can't remember the last time I uttered "our son" as opposed to "my son". That's how difficult these post-divorce years have been.
1:48 am
melonheadjujube
First time in years my ex has been civil toward me. I will admit, his feeling free to call me "babe" now is—oh, hell, it's funny.
1:48 am
puglet
its good they all can now work with you on this
1:49 am
melonheadjujube
Yes, indeed. I am no longer the CEO of my son's life. I can sleep at night (even tho I'm up now!)
1:51 am
puglet
Sprite, are you sure you are okay?
1:51 am
melonheadjujube
Shoutout to JFSA of Cleveland (Jewish Family Services Assoc), a United Way agency and easily the best social services org in town.
1:52 am
sprite
not unreasonable to expect him to do all he can to chip in, melon
Yes, am ok, pugs, just having trouble with the chat today. It is buggy as all hell.
1:53 am
sprite
lol @ the babe thing, melon. At least it is better than the hostility.
1:53 am
puglet
we had several hours of good pouring rain last night
1:53 am
sprite
oh nice, pugs! Did it cool down too?
1:54 am
puglet
yes :) for a few days and then back up to 90's again :(
1:55 am
sprite
well, enjoy th5 days :)
1:55 am
puglet
I plan too--lol
1:56 am
sprite
looks like I am not the only one with chat problems... did we lose melon and rbud and torg?
1:56 am
melonheadjujube
The ex is cheeky like that. Oh, well!
1:56 am
sprite
lol better cheeky than an asshole.
1:57 am
melonheadjujube
Oh, that's his normal state. Cheeky is a relief.
1:58 am
melonheadjujube
Of course my being always right doesn't help :D
1:59 am
sprite
I can see how that would become frustrating, grin
1:59 am

He claimed I beat him up with logic.

My sister who's a year younger than me nicknamed me Queen of the Universe. I accepted the title oblivious to the intended snark.
2:03 am

lol my son once yelled at me: "You are always right!!!" And I said: "Yes, and your point is...?"
2:03 am
melonheadjujube
Exactly!
2:06 am

Sprite did you and caya enjoy your outing
2:13 am
sprite
yeah we did, ended up brainstorming about a topic for her profile paper for school and it was a really nice talk. Singing lesson was great too.
2:15 am
puglet
even if its over for awhile you and caya could have your own singing at home and go out to eat
2:15 am
puglet
glad it was nice for you both
2:15 am

yeah we can. Am planning to do some fun stuff with caya this summer. Go shop, visit a spa, go to a movie.
2:16 am

how is your sister? Sugar levels settling a bit?
2:16 am
puglet
I got it in the 300 range now
2:17 am
sprite
that is still rather high, isn't it? Not sure about the US measures.
2:18 am
puglet
yes its still high but at least Iam getting numbers now
2:18 am

that at least is progress
2:19 am
puglet
tomorrow is our court day :(
2:19 am

I know, have been thinking about it. Keep faith, hun. Let's pray for a wise judge.
2:20 am
puglet
yes a little progress and it better be better today--lol
2:20 am
sprite
*grin* you goooooo girl!
2:20 am
puglet
I just hope she doesnt cause a big scene
2:21 am
sprite
I hope she does. Let the judge see it.
2:21 am
puglet
I just cant believe that at one time we were so close and now its like this
2:22 am
sprite
it is her loss, pugs. She chose to go this way. There is no excuse for treating your child the way she does.
2:23 am
puglet
yes I know--shes has has help to change and just wont
2:24 am
sprite
praying for the best possible outcome for all concerned, pugs. Things will work out.
2:25 am

fireflies. Last word ti8.
2:25 am

I hope the judge will but a final stop to all this
2:25 am

5:42 am

Is either one a compound word?
5:44 am
dromano66
the ne is a plural of the ne/7
5:45 am
dromano66
not very good at this, but he ti is an adj. regarding an element

6:43 am

It was very easy. The judge didn't even leave the room to deliberate...he just approved it. I am so happy and relieved. I hadn't slept much for a couple of days and when I got home and tried to work I fell asleep at the computer!

6:47 am
MimiCat
Friday I'm going to see the house I'd like to buy in the mountains. Don't know if I can qualify, but it's only about $200 more a month than I pay in rent and is such a pretty little house with a mountain view.
6:47 am

mmm, mountain house:)

I got back Social Security disability payment for when they denied me after my heart attack, godthaab.
6:48 am
crosshair
that made my morning , Mimi. Crossy is happy for you:)
6:48 am
MimiCat
I've already spoken with the financial guy at my bank and really like him. I wanted to make sure I had someone in place to take care of this money right away.
6:49 am
crosshair
good, good
6:49 am
movieman
the in7 plz
6:49 am
godthaab
You have a heart attack, and you loose Social Security?
6:49 am
MimiCat
As you know, it has been a long struggle in so many ways. At one point you know I was even planning suicide. So glad I was able to hang in there with help from family and friends including my Babble people.
6:50 am
crosshair
bah, suicide is boring. all that laying there so long and eating dirt all the time. This is much better, mimi
6:51 am
MimiCat
They're denying EVERYONE now, it seems. I knew of a man who had terminal cancer and they denied him...he did die. I was incapacitated for about a year so I was suing just for that back pay, not claiming to be disabled now because I am not.
6:52 am
MimiCat
Crossy...the great part about the house is that I start collecting about $300 more a month when my ex turns 62 in December, so basically I'd have the same budget with the house that I have with my apt.
6:52 am
crosshair
here, my disability guy confessed that they auto- deny everyone the first two go-arounds or so just as a method of weeding out the posers. I think that is horrible
6:52 am
godthaab
That sounds pretty austere. Why deny S.S. when you are ill? What does S.S. have to do with your health? I thought it was something like a pension you received when you retired.
6:53 am
MimiCat
There are two different types. I am collecting early retirement but that is different from Social Security Disability insurance....they are completely separate things. I was denied the disability...can't be denied the retirement, which I couldn't collect back then because I wasn't 62 yet.
6:54 am
MimiCat
That's what's happening here, too, crossy. What do they expect people to do in the meantime? That's supposed to be our rainy day money.....well, it was pouring down hard on me and they didn't care.
6:55 am
crosshair
do not know about the U.S godthaab, but here the buggers run welfare payments and disability through the same office with the same process. The will always consider disability as a temporary thing untill you are broken beyond all repair and take great delight in threatening to cut you off and you have to do the mad apaerwork dance every month
6:55 am
crosshair
paperwork
6:55 am
MimiCat
I barely recognize this country anymore.
6:56 am
MimiCat
That is why I'm investing most of this so I'll have it later when I need it and not go through this again. It was very scary. I don't like needing to rely on others that much.
6:57 am
MimiCat
At least I was lucky enough to have a bunch of people who really love me and were willing to help me...part of this money is going to them to pay them back.
6:57 am

you need to be a "pro" member - it costs $15 for a lifetime membership
12:48 pm
jubi
so i cant get fire works with out being a pro?
12:49 pm
wvteach
you can announce to all of us that you have "fireworks" which shows that you are finished but you will not see the tile stats nbox change to "conhgrstulastions" and a fireworks display
12:50 pm
jubi
Oh. I get it....used to be a pro but got logged off and can not get back in
12:51 pm

bichon
It is heart felt and I appreciate all the support I received here
3:28 pm
Soodle
And as for it being the Mass? Well, being so far away, and utterly helpless in doing anything constructive to help you, it was all I could do. I am your typical Catholic... totally unreligeous until there is a crisis, then I pray like a madwoman!!!

Great plan, Jilly. My freezer is cluttered with all sorts of stupid stuff. One of these days I will get around to clearing it out, and putting proper food in there! In the meantime, enjoy your steaks. Pepper sauce? Garlic? BBQ?
3:41 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, it's grass fed, local and no hormones or antibiotics!

I am a typical Brit..loves talking about the weather..lol
4:04 pm
zoozzoom
Gosh I hope you do not get any, Jilly!
4:05 pm
Jillyjill
They are saying that, with having so much snow in Jan-Mar, we may avoid it!
4:06 pm
zoozzoom
Well at least the bad weather has a positive then.
4:06 pm
Jillyjill
It would be a welcome change as since 2001, we have had fires and smokey air from July-September
4:07 pm
zoozzoom
Urgh! Not keen on the smell of smoke all the time..that would drive me nuts..especially as there is not much you can do about the smell.
4:07 pm

good afternoon everyone:)
4:08 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Crossy :-)
4:08 pm
Jillyjill
It is miserable, most of us don't have AC, we cool homes by opening windows at night...but can't do that with smoke
4:08 pm
Jillyjill
Hello crossy dear!!
4:08 pm
Soodle
We have had glorious weather for the past 4 weeks or so. This evening, it rained. But there's a lovely fresh smell about now, following the rain.

Hello seain!

My parents so wanted a bungalow, Soodle.
4:12 pm
crosshair
home made screens are easy to make and put up , zooz. Just order about 9 linear feet of 1x3 and a roll of bug screen from the hardware store and you can make em yourself
4:12 pm
crosshair
9 linear feet for each window
4:12 pm
zoozzoom
Now they find it very hard to go up the stairs that they are having a stair lift fitted.
4:13 pm
zoozzoom
Yes that is a good idea, Crossy!
4:13 pm
crosshair
as long as you can cut 45 degree angles, you can make the frames no problems
4:14 pm
Soodle
I hear you, Zooz. My parents got a stair lift fitted. At least that is one expense that I can avoid in my twilight years!
4:14 pm
Jillyjill
Holy CRAP....we have a fire behind our house in the school yard. *POOF*
4:14 pm
zoozzoom
Oh no please stay safe, Jilly!
4:14 pm

Yikes. Stay safe, Jilly
4:15 pm
zoozzoom
I think we must of jinxed it when we talked about it a moment ago!
4:16 pm
zoozzoom
We get that sometimes over here, Crossy, not that often mind but it does happen.
4:16 pm
Soodle
Zooz, I can imagine me getting one of those horizontal escalators you see in airports to transport me from the kitchen to the bedroom as my ability declines... LOL
4:17 pm
Jillyjill
Whew! They got it out, not terribly worried, lots of green space between us and them. Damn fireworks and, most likely, unsupervised use by kids. Heard firecrackers a while ago.
4:18 pm
zoozzoom
Glad all is well, Jily!
4:18 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...is pretty ironic with our conversation earlier
4:18 pm
zoozzoom
Teehee! I can just see you now, Soodle, up and down I bet you would love it!
4:19 pm
zoozzoom
Yes that is what I said, Jilly, I think we jinxed it..lol
4:19 pm
Jillyjill
<---admits to being one the 'those people' whom walk on moving escalators

jaxx7
I am not worried about finishing. My bed and book appeals. We have just sent Ashley back to school. he had a septic thumb and tonsillitis but he is a bad patient. Then he was allergic to the Colouring in the antibiotic and was throwing up everywhere. he is almost back to normal now.
6:58 pm
jaxx7
Thanks, Bugs. You go and have your cuppa. I am off to read before sleep. Thanks but no thanks.
6:58 pm
Bugsaw
Poor little kid! I had tonsillitis every month for 6 years before they took them out when I was 21 . It is miserable by itself.
6:58 pm
Bugsaw
OK, sweet dreams and hugs to Ashley

Also looking at a house in the mountains on Fri. that I'd really like to have. We'll see. There is a mountain view and beautiful redwood deck, great kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths so I would be able to accommodate visitors!
9:26 pm
smores
I finally quit smoking...1 week today
9:27 pm
MimiCat
The best part is that it wouldn't end up costing me much more than my rent here.
9:27 pm
smores
wow...that sounds awesome
9:27 pm
MimiCat
Congratulations!! Keep with it. I saw my father die a terrible death due to smoking....you don't want any part of that, trust me.
9:28 pm
smores
mine did too...that why it was so stupid of me to continue this long
9:28 pm
MimiCat
It's a terrible addiction. I've seen studies that say nicotine is the most addictive substance known to man...worse than heroin.

Hi tor...thanks :)
9:32 pm
MimiCat
If you weaken, just think of your beautiful girls having to care for an invalid mother or, worse, doing without you entirely.
9:33 pm
MimiCat
I found distractions to be helpful...just anything to keep busy, preferably something you enjoy.
9:34 pm
smores
I think I'll be okay this time...have tried to quit in the past because I knew I should, but just didn't really want too..now I'm ready
9:35 pm
MimiCat
That's the key....determination.
9:36 pm
MimiCat
