if we could only get the press to state once and for all that they are reporting biased news because they would be killed if they reported the truth. what a mess the world is now. right back to 1932. there is no difference between nazis and what we have now in the arab world. and the west is allowing them to get enormous power.

the citizens of gaza have all been brainwashed to believe the israelis are all evil monsters. therefore they cant do anything but hate and fear them.

Yes, ru. You have an Israel unabashed admirer of your puns.

it must be scary to hear rockets going overhead isn't it arb?
12:39 am
ARB
You don't hear the Gazan rockets, but you hear the boom of those rockets being exploded overhead by the Iron Dome rockets. Big Booms.
12:40 am
rururocks
god.. it must be nuts there right now
12:41 am
rururocks
found my last r.. damn that took forever
12:42 am
ARB
The Gulf War 20 years ago was much more scary, for fear of chemical warheads on the rockets. Now it is nerve wracking the closer you live to Gaza. The kibbutzim are fairly empty -- kids have been moved elsewhere to relieve them from the constant bombardment and continual living in bomb shelters. We in Tel Aviv are living a fairlynormal life with the daily boom or two.
12:42 am

can you help me find the en 7 (not the pleading one)
12:43 am

Definitely would be hideous to live in fear of chemical warfare... so thankful you are safe ARB
12:48 am
ARB
It's not that you get used to it,, but you learn to live with it and be wary. My street smarts are much better than when we lived in California!
12:48 am

keep safe ARB. and we appreciate you insights and observations.
12:48 am

I bet they are. I would want to move back to CA; I would not do well living with that kind of underlying stress.

how did he win a trip like that Dee?
1:18 am
VolleymomDee
he worked for Farm Bureau Insurance then... he was there about 17 years before he became an independent; they had amazing trips for high producers. We had so much fun... great golfing trips, the big one I mentioned, one to the Dominican...
1:18 am
saanichcat
wow, what fun you guys had!
1:18 am
VolleymomDee
I was so ticked at him, ru... he left me one afternoon to go to the Scotch museum... said he knew I wasn't dying... could have killed him
1:19 am

The Dominican weather was great, but they lost our luggage for 4 days.

just a bigger Chicago, then. I do love Broadway. Can't do as much walking now, so our vacations will probably be more sedentary... like sitting on a beach.

hello sweetie.
4:31 am
sprite
*hugs rose* How are you, sweetie... when will the meeting be?
4:31 am
grannyrose
now scheduled for friday. i am hoping to have my union rep with me.
4:32 am
sprite
that would be really awesome. Or your lawyer.
4:34 am
grannyrose
lawyer suggested union rep. lawyer's schedule is packed.
4:35 am
grannyrose
my brains feel like scrambled eggs. i have so much happening all at once. i may need a psychologist soon.
4:35 am
sprite
that makes sense. Union rep would be good too, especially if he/she is willing to report to the lawyer. I wish I could make this any easier on you, rose. So stressful. Maybe just keep in mind that if you truly would want, you could just walk away from it all?
4:36 am
sprite
not at all a bad idea, rose, to help you through the crazy stress. Between family and work, it is a bit muchish.
4:37 am
grannyrose
lawyer was not at all surprised to le5 about the timing of the letter. and don has been asking me to help with the 'paperwork' for taxation...and i am saying....in which universe would you like me to do that? * giggle *
4:38 am
sprite
oh dear, lol. Can't he see you are drowning as it is?
4:39 am
sprite
my beloved was not nice either, yesterday... after the whole tim affair I was feeling sick, lying on the couch... so he told me off for not feeding the dog and later on for not coming down fast enough for dinner. Cute huh.
4:40 am
grannyrose
still, things are getting done. my car had a safety-recall, that's been attended to, it also needed to be serviced, that's done. financial adviser at bank, her appointment has been set, lining up union rep for friday, started. aaaggghhhh!!
4:40 am
sprite
you do so well, darling. A true he4. Try to stay in the moment and not look too far forward.
4:41 am
grannyrose
oh, no....the stress of the boyo is starting to unravel him also. poor you both. this is so not needed by either of you.
4:41 am
sprite
too true. And lots of financial stress to boot. Blech.
4:42 am
grannyrose
don wants me to contact my superannuation fund re th5 strategies towards early retirement. i looked at th5 web site, and my brain completely shut down. i just cannot face it.
4:43 am
sprite
I'd say let Don look into it and give you the short and sweet
4:44 am
grannyrose
meanwhile, letter from company forbids me from en5ing workplace at all until meeting has been .
4:44 am
sprite
that in itself is pretty bullying, imo
4:47 am
grannyrose
absolutely....i am afraid the company is going to gag me....tell me not to speak to any of my co-workers. they have done that to other workers. i have been there for over 11 years. and one co-worker and i go back over 20 years. we worked together at st elsewhere's. they are not just co-workers, they are my friends.
4:48 am
sprite
they cannot gag you, darling. Freedom of speech and all. They can only forbid you to contact people while they are at the hospital. Not at home.
4:48 am
grannyrose
nope, the gag applies to every where and every one. th5 threat is, if you talk, we don't pay up.
4:50 am
sprite
that is blackmail. I'd tell them your lawyer is very interested in things like that and to put it in writing for you, please.
4:50 am
lynxxx
Hello. Sounds like you are having fun Rose - not. But would appear they are going to pay you out?
4:51 am
sprite
hi lyn :) xxx
Way too long since I last saw you. I hope you are well?
4:51 am
grannyrose
yeah, and the irony is, if they sack me due to my health issues, it makes me eligible for disability pension, no questions need to be asked.
4:52 am
lynxxx
Hi Sprite - yes very well.
4:52 am
sprite
glad to hear it, lyn. Missed you.
4:52 am
grannyrose
oooohhh, lyn. how are you? long time no see.
4:53 am
grannyrose
they aren't going to pay me out. they are trying to get me off the payroll. end of story.
4:53 am
sprite
I think you shouldn't promise or refuse anything while there, rose. Just let them put it all on the table and inform them you will think it over.
4:54 am
lynxxx
Ah but if they are paying you out because of health issues they may well be quite generous. I think I would play along and see what the 'offer' is.
4:54 am
sprite
they have no idea what they are doing, rose. You must be chomping at the bit now.
4:54 am
grannyrose
and that is exactly what i am planning on doing, sprite
4:55 am
grannyrose
* giggle * they had no idea i had already started the process with the lawyer.
4:55 am
sprite
am so glad you did so.
4:57 am
grannyrose
lawyer has warned me about them offering me a new position. i.e. one cr6d for me. because i will be under a new contract, and in 12 months time, they can just say, sorry, no more funds, you are redundant. either way, for me it is a win-win situation.
4:58 am
sprite
it is comparable to what happened when I left at my last employer. They are only looking at the money. And they use the fact that you are emotional about things against you. Because they couldn't care less.
4:58 am
lynxxx
If you don't go back to work Rose, will your health improve?
5:00 am
grannyrose
i am thinking it will, lyn. the stress at work can reach fever pitch. and the company is about to expand the theatre suite to 14 thatres, and 2 recovery rooms.
5:02 am
grannyrose
* theatres*
5:02 am
sprite
am sure it will, tbh
5:03 am
sprite
love your icon, btw, lyn
5:03 am
grannyrose
nasty hiccup!!
5:03 am
lynxxx
It seemed apt
5:03 am
grannyrose
two posts lost. i did respond to you both
5:03 am
sprite
very :) And so true
5:04 am
lynxxx
one post for me lost
5:04 am
sprite
poor rose. 5 am big hiccup. It will save one post, but once you type in something else too, gone it is
5:05 am
lynxxx
In your situation Rose, I would be doing some calculations on how much I want to 'go away'...ie the rest of your normal working life and any rehabilitation costs. You may not get a disability pension until all your (and hubbys) savings are gone anyway
5:06 am
lynxxx
(not that I know anything about disability pensions!)
5:08 am
grannyrose
lyn....i am hoping financial adviser at bank can help me. what my employer does not realise, i now have the resources to survive for at least 5 years with no income.
5:08 am
sprite
the rotten point is, that for you, procedures like these leave a mark on your whole life. But for a company, they are just a point on the agenda of one meeting a week. If that.
5:08 am
lynxxx
Careful with financial advisors at banks - imho they are rubbish

sprite, you were right about them trying to save money. they will save thousands if they fire me, and then hi4 a younger nurse.

I hate to be right about that.

lyn, it's bendigo bank...they are pretty fair. but i am going to see centrelink's FIS as well.

Centrelink Financial advisors are pretty great on the other hand

It seems to me that you are inwardly sure that you won't be going back. Once you get over the naturally emotional response to that fact, and with the help of some-one from the union - and your lawyer - you can be quite cold-hearted about these meetings. And probably come out with a decent termination pay.
5:16 am
sprite
sounds good to me
5:16 am
lynxxx
Where do Workcare figure in all this at this stage?
5:16 am
grannyrose
thanx lyn. you, as usual have hit the nail on the head.
5:17 am
grannyrose
lyn, they have terminated all payments...it depends on the outcome of the meeting next friday.
5:18 am
lynxxx
I just wondered if they sit in on these sort of meetings
5:18 am
grannyrose
dinner is ready and served...bbl
5:19 am

yep, that is the next step. They think they have power over you because normally, you would need their money. Are they in for a surprise :) I hope you won't tell them. Let them think they can force you with it, while you know better.

I do imagine the payout they will offer will recognise her years of work and the pay level she is on now. Roses Union and her Lawyer would certainly be demanding that. Not quite the same situiation but redundancies here are usually based around these things are pretty much normal business practice here.
5:24 am
sprite
what I hope is they can find a solution that does not involve years of battle. The stress is not worth it, imo.
5:26 am
lynxxx
I think this will all be decided by, say, Friday week...and that Rose can then get on with her life - she doesn't need any more of this sh**.
5:26 am

amen to that, lyn

5:27 am

keep cool and do not jump at first offer. i bet they will try for the one week pay for every year served ploy
5:28 am
crosshair
or as you say, they will try and over you a new position ... for one day les one year...
5:28 am

I think the best thing will be to hear them out, and then let the lawyer look it over.

my brother is going through exact same thing now. years and years at same job, now health issues and because he is now very experienced and expensive they want to slide in some cheap, inexpensive fresh meat
5:30 am
sprite
apart from my physical handicaps, I also was in a deep depression by that time. And they used that against me, because they knew I couldn't think clearly and couldn't handle the stress. It is all about the mighty money.
5:30 am

good morning

...perhaps out of their wallets rather than their backsides

Rose is in a happy position of being close to retirement age...it is so much worse emtionally when you have many working years left
5:32 am

there is no loyalty, now rallying round the wagons in times of crisis, and no gold watch at the end of 30 years loyal service

indeed, lynxx. I think she said she is within 2 years. I have 17 to go...
5:34 am

Tell me about it I got laid off at 55. Couldn't find a job no matter what I did. But thankfully I had some pension money to take out and could do some writing.
5:34 am

I must say it works the other way a lot now - workers are there for a 'life-time' - 2/3 years and they are off after the next big career move and more $s.
5:35 am

workers are NOT there....

In my case, I was willing to stay put until I retired :)

Temp or csual work is probably the best angle - get your feet in the door, show them what you can do
5:42 am

If you can get past the temp agency :)

Thats true - do you have many agencies over there Sukee?

I really am confused - I meant to say the second re5 and the 6 right after that.
6:24 am
lbdawger
re5, is something old
6:24 am
Wolvie
i was missing it anyway- the 5/12 is an artifact, then add a consonant for the 6/21
6:24 am
grannyrose
dianne, add a consonant to the re5/12, a surviving memorial of something past.
6:25 am

cf = memory card?

6:42 am
crosshair
did you got to start/computer and see if the computer gave your cf card a hard drive designation letter ruby?
6:43 am
rubyfoo
ok, stupid question: hw do I get to start I don''t remember where that is
6:44 am
crosshair
the "start" is usually in bottom left corner of your screen
6:44 am
crosshair
and is thwe windows symbol
6:44 am
crosshair
click that then select computer or my computer
6:45 am
crosshair
there will be a sub-heading there labelled "Hard disk drives"
6:46 am

you will see your "C" drive there and your photo card should be listed below that
6:46 am

It is often hard to try and help from a distance;(

I know' I've tried it with my so, the computer expert, and it's impossible
6:48 am

there is a remote assistance feature, but it takes a bit to set it up and many do not wish to relinquish total control of their computer to some stranger from far away

often just setting up remote assistance can be just as nerve wracking as the original problem

hehe.. I remember getting books so used, from the sale bin out front, that the bindings were only good for one or two more reads before they fell apart, but they were 5 cents each, and I used to tie them together with elastic bands once the binding broke and get another few reads out of them;)
7:42 am

i still have one or two of the old treasure on my shelves with elastics around them. they are sadly out of print

I get so many free from Amazon I haven't shopped anywhere else yet. There are a few new ones that I would like so need to start looking at the library site and putting myself on the waiting list.
7:47 am
crosshair
assuming the kindle does not lock you down with a proprietary file format . They take epubs now river?
7:47 am
Riverdance
I dont know what an epub is?
7:48 am
crosshair
it is an awsome file format for books and libraries that uses little room on your reader
7:48 am
crosshair
for example, Microsoft uses a Lit. format that takes twice the room
7:49 am
Riverdance
I can buy through Amazon, borrow from a library or a friend can loan one to me. When I finish reading a book, I remove it from the device and put it in the cloud. It is always there for me to reread but does not use up space on the device.
7:49 am
crosshair
and pdf format is best for books with pictures, graphs and charts
7:49 am
crosshair
sounds like you have yourself set up nicely
7:49 am
crosshair
At this time, I have about 250 books on my reader
7:49 am

I dont know much about formats or any of that stuff. I currently have 9 books waiting for me to read on my device.

That is a good idea to keep them in the cloud, River. Then you only have a certain few on your Kindle.

hello friends
10:55 am
crosshair
And now it is tome for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! Today I have a real interesting i-phone app for you to explore. It is called "world lens" and is a free app. What it does is allow your phone to translate signs and other notices for you written in other languages just by passing your phones camera over it!
10:55 am
crosshair
howdy trif
10:56 am
crosshair
load times for this app are slow , so be patient. Have yet to try it myself:)
10:57 am
MollyL
Sukee, are you having a tough day today? No offense is meant when you say hi and no one says hi back. Sometimes people are busy with other things.
10:58 am
Trifioso
I kinda love it that you think I would need such an app, crossy.....
10:59 am
crosshair
Here, trif, we run into french all the time, and I have allowed my skill at reading and speaking it to go rusty over the years
10:59 am
Trifioso
c'est dommage!
10:59 am
crosshair
howdy sukee!
11:02 am
crosshair
I can usually fudge my way though longer french texts but it is nice to catch the nuances.
11:04 am
crosshair
tis a pity indeed. i something i should have kept up
11:05 am
rubyfoo
When you live here, you pick up all the bad habits from the locals: they leave off "pas" in negatives, thy don't make liaisons between words, they only use about 3 or 4 tenses (unlike the 16 we learned at school), etc.
11:06 am
rubyfoo
The good news, though, is that in exchange for English bad words, they teach me FEr ones
11:06 am
MollyL
I found out way back when that the French we learn in school is basically non-effective in France, Canada and Cajun country
11:07 am
rubyfoo
The Fr I learned as a kid in NY was mostly for aural comprehension and it has helped me enormously. In Quebec, however, I couldn't understand anything
11:07 am
Trifioso
I am so hoping babble will keep my hands busy for the next little bit....trying not to eat
11:08 am
rubyfoo
why trif?
11:08 am
Trifioso
need to diminish food intake
11:08 am
MollyL
Trying not to eat? Why?
11:09 am
MollyL
Wow Trif, I have seen pictures of you and you don't look like someone who needs to diet.
11:09 am
Trifioso
my doc advised me too - scale be a

11:10 am

that's it!
11:10 am
Trifioso
oh, that horse is WAY out of the barn, ruby! Unless senior products and medical supply modeling counts?hahaha
11:11 am
rubyfoo
maybe stand behind the horse....lol
11:11 am
MollyL
Oh, behind the horse is always a bad idea
11:11 am
Trifioso
I need to watch my lipid count, lower the LDL, or whichever the bad one is, and try to be less sedentary
11:11 am
rubyfoo
At least that send doesn't bite
11:12 am
MollyL
If doctors had their way, we would all be eating grape nuts, plain lettuce and seeds.
11:13 am

That much?
11:15 am

I try to eat better that i used to, but i always remember that no matter what I eat or do not eat, in 50 years or less i shall be a a worm feast no matter what, so try to enjoy my food:)

I bought 2 pair of shoes and went to the 2nd Avenue Deli, had a corned beef sandwich incl. the works. Y es, I had a very good time.

12:07 pm
MollyL
New shoes, a great lunch and pastrami. What more could a girl ask for?
12:09 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, I have neuropathy so it is very hard to find shoes that do not hurt. I go to a store on 33rd street that specializes in "hard to fit feet". I got lucky today and bought 2 pair.
12:09 pm
Anniebrook
and pastrami, yay! Now I will shut up.

Molly is your icon to do with the fact the moon is now as close to earth it has been in twenty years?
12:12 pm

No Zoom, I just liked the image. I'm not buying all the "super moon" hype on the internet.
12:13 pm

No it was on the news today here so just wondered :-)
12:13 pm

this grid is a lot easier for me than yesterday's.. ooh, pulled teeth on that one!
12:16 pm
zoozzoom
Yes it does seem to be more pleasant!
12:16 pm

The moon is doing the same thing it's been doing for the past few centuries. The media just seems to be exploiting that lately for what reason I do not know.
12:19 pm
Aloyisius
ha.. the last half of the "Oh *****" candy bar was hiding in plain sight
12:20 pm
zoozzoom
Teehee just put that into google as I had no idea what candy bar it was..lol
12:21 pm
zoozzoom
Alas I already had that word :-(
12:22 pm
Aloyisius
aww.. so that candy bar is not in your neck of the woods?
12:22 pm
Aloyisius
what is the most popular candy bar ?
12:22 pm
zoozzoom
Not heard of it here.
12:22 pm
Aloyisius
maybe I haven't heard of your favorites
12:23 pm
zoozzoom
Not sure to be honest. Dairy milk chocolate I suppose by Cadbury.
12:23 pm
Aloyisius
yumm, I know Cadbury!
12:24 pm
zoozzoom
Some of the bars you might not know could be...Topic, Picnic?
12:24 pm
Aloyisius
nope, have never seen them
12:25 pm
zoozzoom
If you google them put chocolate bar, Aloy we do not normally say candy bar here :-)
12:25 pm
Aloyisius
lol.. learning something new every day, ty
12:27 pm
zoozzoom
True, Aloy..like the other day, Molly pointed out to me that a sweet(candy) we call Maltesers is called Whoppers in America.
12:28 pm
zoozzoom
Not sure why they are called whoppers as they are not that big..lol
12:28 pm
Aloyisius
I like almost everything, but for some reason.. can not eat malt candy!
12:29 pm
Aloyisius
I like your name better, bc I would know to avoid them
12:30 pm
zoozzoom
hahaha I was just thinking that. Wondered if people knew they had malt in them if called whoppers!
12:30 pm
Aloyisius
well, I think it says something to that effect on the box
12:31 pm
MollyL
They were originally called Malted Milk Balls. Whoppers is a brand name.
12:31 pm
zoozzoom
Never knew that either!
12:32 pm
MollyL
Not a big fan of malted milk or malted milk candy
12:33 pm
Aloyisius
right... can not drink a malted milk shake
12:34 pm

I can not have malt on its own but do not mind it in chocolate bars or like a vanilla & malt milkshake.

People often call out words at the flip (wh8) that are not there. The frenzy of being first, I guess.

mael
though she's a great baby, we lucked out. I'm still not back at work full time, or rather, since I work from home full time just doesn't happen
1:17 pm
MollyL
Yes, your sense of time dissipates when you are nursing and sleep deprived.
1:19 pm
mael
it's funny, I'm actually more tireed now that she almost sleeps through the night than I was when I was getting up every three hours. I think my body was running on adrenalin for a long time there
1:20 pm
MollyL
It's a bitch when that adrenaline wears off
: D
1:20 pm

Yes it shows it is finally catching up with you and nnow your body is craving for a rest.

haha, yes. If they handed me a newborn today I would run away screaming. She's my love, but man do I need a break before doing that again!
1:23 pm
ChrissieDee
That's one of the things I'm worried about. First grandchild due in 5 weeks. Son and dil moving to China for 3 years after the birth. So far away from all friends and family :(
1:23 pm
ChrissieDee
Do you have family,close mael?
1:23 pm
mael
congrats chrissie! though that's rough. I live far from my family and skype has been great
1:24 pm
mael
my inlaws are about three hours away, but they'll be moving close by next spring. My family is in Italy, so I see them very little unfortunately.
1:24 pm
zoozzoom
Ah did not realize, Mael, sorry about that.
1:25 pm
ChrissieDee
That's a shame mael
1:25 pm
mael
s'okay, part of the reason why I moved to the us was that my family is rather nuts, so there's an upside ;)
1:25 pm
ChrissieDee
Being a new parent is a tough gig isn't it
1:26 pm
ChrissieDee
lol, but is it in the genes
1:26 pm
mael
my parents both passed away and I'm an only child, so it's a whole plethora of aunts and cousins who mean well but are, uhm, a little overbearing
1:26 pm
zoozzoom
Chrissie, that must be tough for you too. Did Dianne give some advice about them moving out to China?
1:26 pm
bichon
Each sure that their method of raising a child is the correct one
1:27 pm
ChrissieDee
She did zooz. She gave me a web site for an ex pat organisation which I have passed on.
1:27 pm
mael
yup bichon, even the ones who never had kids have all the answers. And the consensus seems that I'm doing it wrong no matter what. :)

hahah, no. She has chew toys for now. I'm sure there's a factory somewhere that spits out baby toys from one end and cat toys from the other, since they are essentially interchangeable

I've been taking mine to the dog park and they are better with other dogs
4:33 pm
car.eeyore
We are leaving in 2 weeks for vacation. Our trainer was going to take him, but being pregnant decided not to. I am trying to make other arrangements but I am so afraid he will be too aggressive.
4:33 pm
car.eeyore
with other dogs that is.
4:34 pm
MollyL
How do you think you are messing him up?
4:34 pm
car.eeyore
They give him 2 evaluation trials before they agree to take him.
4:34 pm
bichon
Our vet has a kennel where a dog would be by itself. They also have trainers there. Perhaps there is a place like that near you
4:35 pm
car.eeyore
Each of the dogs have their own space for nighttime, and if need be can be alone, but most of the general areas are for all the dogs.
4:35 pm
bichon
One of my dogs, attacked a foster dog at my home about 10 months ago. He's never done that since. That's why I won't foster another male
4:35 pm
car.eeyore
I am hoping that maybe this would be a good experience for him.
4:36 pm
car.eeyore
I am afraid I am messing him up by trying to work with a trainer myself instead of sending him away for training. also, my mom's dog is nasty and teaching him bad habits.
4:36 pm
car.eeyore
We also live next door to a woman who has a doggy day care.
4:36 pm
bichon
You can never tell with dogs. Where did you get him form and how old was he. What breed [s]?
4:36 pm
car.eeyore
He is a rescue. I have seen his behavior start to morph and I don't like it.
4:36 pm
MollyL
Car, how many animals in your house?
4:37 pm
car.eeyore
its just general stuff but I want to get a handle on it.
4:37 pm
car.eeyore
2 dogs and 3 cats.
4:37 pm
car.eeyore
The other dog is with my mom almost all the time and when my mom is at daycare, her dog generally sleeps in her room all day.
4:37 pm
bichon
How is he with the other animals?
4:37 pm
car.eeyore
When Archer plays with her it is very rough play.
4:37 pm
MollyL
And two kids, a husband and your ailing Mom. WOW, you have your hands more than full.
4:37 pm

You have to stop rough play with him and no mounting
4:38 pm
car.eeyore
Great with my sister's dog, but now introducing him to other dogs is hellish
4:38 pm
car.eeyore
Yes, that's why I'm on medication and in therapy
4:38 pm
bichon
Is he an aggressive breed?
4:38 pm
car.eeyore
Border collie / husky mix
4:39 pm
bichon
Those aren't known to be aggressive.
4:39 pm
bichon
Do you enjoy having him at your house. Would you rehome him?
4:40 pm
car.eeyore
I love him and don't want him to leave. I want to fix this.
4:40 pm
bichon
I think if I were in this situation, I would consider rehoming him
4:41 pm
bichon
Some situations are very difficult to fix
4:41 pm
car.eeyore
He is great if we have people over. He travels in the car well. Is doing great on leash walking...just until we see another dog.
4:42 pm
car.eeyore
If anything, I am to blame. I got laid up with my sciatica and then broke my toe. He has barely been on any walks in quite a few weeks. We have him run in the yard and play frisbee, but no where near the level of activity he needs.
4:42 pm
bichon
Mine are bad when they are on a leash and see other dogs. Better off leash. I would try a "Gentle Leader". Very elpful for me
4:42 pm
MollyL
I don't know how you do it Car. That is a lot of people/critters to take care of. Kind of leaves a void in the "taking care of you" place.
4:42 pm
car.eeyore
That's why I am hoping this doggy place would be good for him and then we can begin a new routine when I get back.
4:44 pm

I will call them tomorrow and make a visit appointment.

hi Sue, how goes it?
7:37 pm

hello friends. waves at Sue
7:37 pm

hi bichon! Pretty good.

good evening all

hello sue

Bugsaw
I am glad Frank is home and there are not new posts all the time. I take it to mean that things are settling down a bit which is alwayys good.
7:39 pm
uusue2
yes, things are pretty quiet for the moment; I worry that Frank is not eating much but we will see what the doctor says - he has blood tests tomorrow and then a follow-up with the surgeon on Thursday
7:40 pm
Bugsaw
Get some dope. It helps with appetite and discomfort. Things don't taste the same when you are feeling punk
7:41 pm
uusue2
yes, we have had a few people offer :-) we shall see...
7:41 pm
Bugsaw
Really. It has huge medicinal effect.
7:42 pm
Bugsaw
You can make tea or put it in something small like a cookie. It is not required to smoke it.
7:42 pm
uusue2
I wonder if it helps with gas pain? That's one of his big issues right now
7:42 pm
uusue2
yes, I know :-) I always thought it was more of a savory spice than a sweet one, and used to put it in spaghetti sauce
7:43 pm
Bugsaw
I bet if he ate more he would have less gas because things would move along quicker
7:43 pm
bichon
I had terrible gas pain after I had surgery while pregnant. Worse than the pain of the incision
7:43 pm
uusue2
yes, he says the same, bichon
7:44 pm
uusue2
being up and around more would help too, I am trying to encourage him but he is pretty wiped out, between the surgery and the chemo
7:45 pm
Bugsaw
It must be so hard for you Sue to see him suffer so much. It is reasonable to be wiped out but even standing up and sitting back down a couple of times might get things moving better
7:46 pm
uusue2
yes - he walked around the block with me and the dogs a few days ago, I should get him to do it again
7:47 pm
Bugsaw
the whole block is a huge accomplishment! But perhaps too much too soon. Maybe aim for the corner and back every day for a bit until he gets his strength back
7:49 pm
uusue2
yes, that's a thought. He was doing a lot more in the hospital but most of the time he was on painkillers
7:50 pm
uusue2
he wants dinner - bbl
7:50 pm
Bugsaw
It takes a while to get the general anaesthetic out of your system too. I was shocked to find that the effort going from one end of my little house to the other end could have me sweating and exhausted.
7:51 pm
Bugsaw
Hugs Frank for me!
7:51 pm
wvteach
hugs to both you and Frank

8:07 pm
Bugsaw
I hope you and those you love are well
8:08 pm
sukee
I'm okay, a bit sad about Robin Williams
8:09 pm
Bugsaw
yes. I always worried about him. He was such a talented man but seemed to feel he had to be "on" all the time.
8:11 pm
sukee
So many comics seem to suffer from depression.
8:11 pm
Bugsaw
Laughing at hard times gets lots of us through
8:14 pm
sukee
That is two of my favorite comedians who have died this year, Robin Williams and John Pinette.
8:14 pm
Bugsaw
not familiar with John Pinette
8:15 pm
sukee
You should google, he is so funny. He was very large and that is what eventually killed him.
8:16 pm
sukee
He had a great piece about a water slide :) Or another about ice skating in Ottawa :)
8:17 pm
Bugsaw
I looked him up but I will spend time looking for those posts.
8:17 pm
sukee
They are on youtube.
8:18 pm
Bugsaw
I need to get some more words before taking a break but thanks for the tip.
8:18 pm
sukee
Not having much luck with this grid :) I guess I will have to list.
8:19 pm
Bugsaw
I had to. It helps me with the first 2 letters
8:20 pm

Omg... Robin Williams died! the world lost a great entertainer:((
8:20 pm
sukee
Hi crossy. Yes :(
8:20 pm
Bugsaw
It is so sad, crossy. He took his own life
8:21 pm
crosshair
Yes, it is sad
8:22 pm
sukee
He never failed to make me laugh.
8:22 pm
Bugsaw
He was so fast with his quips and they never stopped coming
8:25 pm
sukee
I like his last TV show although it got cancelled.
8:28 pm
uusue2
hi again, back to finish
8:29 pm
crosshair
Mm, we have lost many fine actors and actresses of late but this suuen death shocked and saddened me greatly I ak off for thenight tc all poink!
8:29 pm
uusue2
night crossy!
8:30 pm
Bugsaw
Did Frank collect of the hugs that were sent went you went to feed him. I am glad he has an appetite
8:30 pm
uusue2
he did indeed :-)
8:30 pm
uusue2
he has a small appetite - I made him three potstickers and about 1/2 cup of rice - we'll see if he eats it all
8:31 pm
Bugsaw
that sounds like enough to get things moving if he can force himeself to take it all in. It is not an overwhelming amount
8:32 pm
uusue2
fireworks!
8:32 pm
uusue2
well, things are moving, bugs, he just needs to gradually increase how much he eats
8:32 pm
Bugsaw
wow that was fast. well done
8:32 pm
uusue2
it's been almost 5 weeks since his surgery now
8:34 pm
Bugsaw
Don't forget the old tricks we used with our kids when he gets stuck. 5 more bites because it has been 5 weeks since the surgery. or 1 for Uncle Bill because this is his favourite etc. If he doesn't get up and chase you around the room for that I will be shocked. :)
8:35 pm
uusue2
haha, good ideas, bugs!
