there are SOME benefits, ruru. We learned how to make frictionless ball-bearings. Medical advances have been made and of course let's not forget the invent of Duct Tape which was a result of a need in space. cannot mark it all as a total waste

looked some up: memory foam (originally named temper foam), freeze-dried food, firefighting equipment, emergency "space blankets", Dustbusters, cochlear implants, and now Speedo's LZR Racer swimsuits. NASA claims that there are over 1650 other spin-offs in the fields of computer technology, environment and agriculture, health and medicine, public safety, transportation, recreation, and industrial productivity. Contrary to common belief, NASA did not invent Tang, Velcro, or Teflon. (and all along I thought ....) The biggest I know of was a surgical procedure on I think the carotid artery that was adapted to prevent TIAs (those baby strokes).

omg, that is the last 3 books! Wonderful. Did you have a fun journey?
7:50 am
Lizlin
Not the last books! After the Mage storms. Yes, enjoying them a lot tho in places found Mage storms a bit slow. Still loved them though.
7:52 am
sprite
yeah I hear you. I found that when I was rereading the series, they were better for me. And Darian... that is the Owl series, I think? I think they end the cycle. Though there is a sidewards offspin that tells about the origin of the Herald Collegium.
7:54 am
Lizlin
Think I'm reading them in historical order of Valdemar. I've read the arrows, winds and storms. Now starting the owls.
7:54 am
Lizlin
Gryphons seem to be next.
7:55 am

I've heard of candy corn on american shows but have no idea what it actually is
11:03 am
MollyL
It's like solid corn syrup. I find it very gross.
11:04 am
MLFAN17
buggie i dont knwo what it is exactly other then a 3 toned colored candy shaped like a triangle kinda sweet
11:04 am
rubyfoo
He lived outside t. Louis 'til he was 12, but he didn't have a normal childhood (no sh**!)
11:04 am
MLFAN17
Molly i dont like candy corn either yuck
11:05 am
MollyL
Well Ruby, I could have guessed that part.
: D
11:05 am
Buggie
why would anyone want to eat a sweet that looks like corn? very odd
11:05 am
Buggie
but then every country has its oddities
11:06 am
rubyfoo
Since I grew up in a candy store, I'm a connoisseur of American candy!
11:06 am
MLFAN17
its actually triangular in shape like popcorn as opposed to corn that grows on a cob
11:06 am
MLFAN17
lol ruby
11:06 am
rubyfoo
<--would kill for a 3 musketeers
11:07 am
MollyL
Like Shrimp & Bananas Buggie?
11:07 am
Buggie
Ew Molly, where is that from?
11:08 am
MLFAN17
i dont think i want to know
11:08 am
MollyL
Um...the UK
11:08 am
Buggie
I've never heard of it before
11:08 am
rubyfoo
Halloween is very funny here. I put ghosts up in the windows and put candles outside but very few children come to the gate. And then they're surprised that I have candy for them. They are very polite and say "Merci, Madame"
11:08 am
Buggie
Oh wait those things, I haven't seen them since I was little
11:09 am
rubyfoo
in NY my father once greeted trick or treaters with a stocking over his face and the kids ran away, terrified
11:10 am
MollyL
Ruby, I don't know how you have survived there this long.
11:10 am
rubyfoo
I truly love this place, Molly, both for its beauty and for the people
11:10 am
Buggie
If I remember right, the bananas taste of bananas, but the shrimps don't taste of shrimps, can't remember what they taste of... I will admit to liking Marmite though :-)
11:11 am
rubyfoo
<-- never tasted marmite
11:11 am
MollyL
Thank God people don't give out marmite for Halloween
11:12 am
Buggie
Well Halloween is a very recent import over here, most people see it as just acting out what they see on TV, or an excuse for a silly party, there's no real cultural reference to it so most people see it as just a fad
11:12 am
rubyfoo
on little pieces of toast -- then they'd really get scared
11:13 am
Buggie
the French don't like Marmite any more than the Americans :-)
11:13 am
MollyL
Halloween all goes back to the Celtic Pagans, my people
11:13 am
rubyfoo
What is lovely here is that, for the same holiday, families come and decorate the graves in the local cemetery with all kinds of chrysanthemums. It's gorgeous
11:14 am
MLFAN17
In some areas or another name for is All Hollow's Eve
11:14 am
rubyfoo
and it's followed by All Saints' Day
11:14 am
MLFAN17
100 words down and 125 to go;)
11:14 am
MLFAN17
i believe you might be right ruby
11:14 am
rubyfoo
But our local church is closed as nobody goes to mass, anyway
11:15 am
Buggie
Oh, the origins do go way back, in fact you can still find famalies in the celtic areas of UK and France that have kept the old traditions alive. But modern Halloween is definitely an import
11:15 am
MollyL
Remembrance of the dead is all a part of the original Halloween festivals
11:16 am
Buggie
(btw for those confused I'm an English expat, but been in France since I was 10)
11:16 am
MLFAN17
Traditionally you are supposed to make costumes not buy them
11:17 am
MollyL
Most modern holiday stuff is a "remodeling" of the origins.
11:17 am
rubyfoo
I used to make costumes for my son; maybe that's why he's still mad at me....(get over it, John)
11:18 am
MLFAN17
very true or we have our own traditions
11:18 am
MLFAN17
lol ruby.how old is he?
11:18 am
MollyL
I always made my kids costumes. I hate the store bought ones.

11:48 am
cybernan
the pic is of my youngest grandkids last year.
11:48 am

11:48 am

their mother wanted to dress them up as Mary and her little lambs this year, but our grandson declared that he was not going to be a lamb like his twin sister - he wanted to be a dragon.
11:50 am
MLFAN17
i have na 4 ending in a s what does the other one end with please?
11:51 am
MLFAN17
i like your grandson's costume idea better sorry

11:53 am
MLFAN17
kinda scary huh cyber?
11:56 am
MLFAN17
cyber when my one niece was two we were talking on the phone about random things. I spoke to her like i would an adult and she responded perfectly to everything i said
11:56 am
cybernan
usually he's pretty laid back so it was surprising
11:57 am
MollyL
Little boys usually don't want to be something girly like a lamb
11:57 am
MLFAN17
soem kids just know what they want and nothing else will do. Its neat how he wants to be an individual from his sister.
11:59 am
cybernan
yes - although because they are not the same sex, there has never been a problem with them being clones of each other
11:59 am
MollyL
Also, I think the whole point of Halloween is letting kids dress up as what they want to be, not what Mom wants them to be.
12:00 pm
MLFAN17
that is interesting cyber but that probably wont last too long
12:00 pm
MLFAN17
Molly that is the way it should be i know i always did
12:01 pm

Stupid computer. Back after downloading some software. Slower than molasses in January - as my mother used to say.
1:19 pm

How did the shot in the back go?
1:21 pm
Judi
Hi, Hego. Lotsa pain after the shot. No sleep last night. Better today, still twingy.
1:22 pm
hego
feel better!
1:22 pm
Judi
Thanks. I'm working on it. :-)
1:28 pm
MollyL
Why is it that you can score great narcotics on the street, but doctors will not prescribe them for legitimate pain issues?
1:29 pm
Judi
I have some narcotics. I just don't like to take them too often.
1:29 pm
hego
Molly, I been overprescibed pain meds to the point where I've been flushing percosets.
1:30 pm
hego
Judi, me too.
1:30 pm
hego
And I still have a bunch.
1:30 pm
Judi
You can mail them to me, hego!
1:30 pm
hego
One Dr gave me 90!!
1:31 pm
Judi
Supposedly, you are not supposed to flush them. They might end up back in the drinking water supply.
1:31 pm
MollyL
That is what I thought, Judi
1:31 pm
hego
We will have a happy town.
1:31 pm
hego
No, that is correct.
1:32 pm
hego
I was amazed after my mother died, the hospice nurse flushed all her meds in the toilet.
1:32 pm
hego
I didn't literaaly flush mine.
1:32 pm
MollyL
Your pharmacist can dispose of them properly for you
1:33 pm
Judi
Cops and pharmacies around us sponsor drug give-backs so they can be incinerated. The addicts all stand around and weep.
1:35 pm
MollyL
When my boss was sick, the doctor kept changing up his pain meds. His wife learned some very creative (and safe) ways of disposing of the unused pills.
1:35 pm
hego
what did she do?
1:36 pm
crosshair
We had a surprisingly hard time of disposing of my father-in-laws emergency palliative care drug kit when he passed. it had everything in it--was first time I have ever beheld morphine ampules outside of a hospital setting.. was sad to see them go..;)
1:37 pm
MollyL
One method is to mix them up with something gross, like kitty litter, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the trash.
1:38 pm
Judi
It's ridiculous to see all of that good medicine go to waste when you know there are folks out there who truly need it.
1:38 pm
Judi
Remind me to stop snorting kitty litter.
1:38 pm
hego
You can't donate or reuse them.
1:39 pm
hego
I just miix mine with vinegar and toss them.
1:39 pm
MollyL
Not to mention the cost of said drugs
1:39 pm
Judi
Ah. Good idea. hego. No weird chem reactions like bubbling?
1:40 pm
hego
a little maybe.
1:40 pm
crosshair
I just give all our old meds to the pharmacy now... less hassle that way
1:40 pm
Judi
Cool! Science experiment!
1:41 pm
Judi
Yes. Most pharmacies will take them back for disposal.
1:41 pm
hego
good idea Crossy
1:41 pm
crosshair
Oxycontin and malt vinegar! Put that on yer fish and chips!!
1:41 pm
hego
I will have to get rid of the 90 soon.
1:42 pm
Judi
LOL, Crossy!
1:43 pm
hego
I have slowed to a crawl here.
1:43 pm
Judi
Once you get past the bitterness, everything will be jusssssst greaaaaat.
1:43 pm

I have some dated migraine meds on hand now. Doc gave us 4 free sample packs. it is the kind you have to take when you THINK you are getting a migraine and was not much used for my beloved. Even if they had been the cost per pill was $35!!! no thank you!
1:44 pm
MollyL
It is obscene what they charge for medication these days
1:44 pm
crosshair
so, in a sense, I am gald they did not work
1:44 pm
hego
she is so cute, Crossy.
1:45 pm
MollyL
My neighbor says "Well, I only have a 20 dollar co-pay". To which I reply "What do you think that 300 dollar a month health insurance premium is paying for?"
1:46 pm
hego
Only 300 dollars a month?
1:46 pm
crosshair
we just get rid of the middle-man and pay through the nose at tax time...at least it beats worrying about it at a health crisis time.
1:47 pm
MollyL
Well, 300 was a low ball figure. I know people pay much more than that.
1:47 pm
Judi
Does your health insurance screw you over for having pre-existing cancer, Crossy?
1:48 pm
crosshair
no, judy. Our health care do not work the way in which you are familliar with
1:48 pm
crosshair
we have "universal health care" operated by the government, not insurance companies
1:49 pm
crosshair
we just pay more taxes for everything to cover it
1:49 pm
crosshair
though you can add on top with blue cross and the like for special things
1:50 pm
Judi
That's right.
1:50 pm
Judi
What do the 8s and the 9 start with? Anyone? ANyone?
1:50 pm
crosshair
I will never be screwed over for my previous cancers...ever
1:51 pm
crosshair
as it should be:)
1:52 pm
Nef
Good Afternoon, Everyone. Sorry, Judi, I don't have the 8's or the 9; just getting started here. I just wanted to say that when Clinton tried to get "universal health care" here in the US, politicians and insurance companies raged against it
1:52 pm
hego
agree Crossy
1:52 pm
crosshair
I am sure they did. The insurance companies there had visions of the golden goose leaving the nest
1:52 pm
hego
Nef, I remember.
1:54 pm
Judi
Ty. Gottem all!
1:54 pm
hego
you're a whiz, Judi
1:54 pm
hego
What is the other 8?
1:54 pm
crosshair
We just decided that EVERYONE will need healthcare. the availability of it should not be the sole provenance of only those who can pay big premiums.
1:55 pm
Nef
thanks hego for the stats
1:55 pm
Judi
I like the thought of privatising health insurance. Free market competition would drive down prices.
1:55 pm
hego
Feeling special today as I am in the grid.
1:56 pm
hego
straightens tiara
1:56 pm
Nef
It's been privatized all along, Judi. That's the problem; and the prices kept going up with less coverage for smaller groups
1:56 pm
Judi
You are frequently in the grid, hego.
1:56 pm
crosshair
Someone who has lived on the street for the last ten years will get the exact same care as i do in any hospital in onatario.. no complex forms, just your health card
1:56 pm
Nef
You go, hego! ;-)
1:56 pm
crosshair
Ontario
1:57 pm
hego
If you had better weather, Crossy, I'd move up there. lol
1:58 pm
crosshair
lol, getting ready for the snow:)
1:58 pm
Judi
It is not realy privatized in the true capitalist sence, Nef. For example, I have Highmark (f/k/a Blue Cross) in Delaware. I cannot select to seek treatment in Pennsylvania unless it is unavailable in Delaware. Even then, I would have to jump through ins. co. beaurocratic hoops.
1:58 pm
crosshair
got my flu shot today:) so bring it on!
1:58 pm
hego
I have seriously considered it, no fooling.
1:59 pm
Nef
One of the reasons our health care has been tied to the workplace is that initially no one would buy health insurance. Then some insurance company brain took a look at teachers and thought "Hey! Here's a group pf women without husbands (back then you couldn't teach after marriage) who need some sort of care! Let's offer them insurance for 25 cents a month through their association and we'll make money on it!"
1:59 pm
hego
Crossy, you should always get your flu shot.
1:59 pm
crosshair
I have the last 15 years,hego
2:00 pm
crosshair
I don't dare miss it these days
2:00 pm
Nef
DH and I goe ours yesterday; usually we get it the end of Sept. but it's been kind of crazy here
2:01 pm
crosshair
ours are almost never ready till mid-late october eary november
2:01 pm
Judi
And, I can't currently shop around for the best rates for insurance. My health ins. is provided through my employer. It's a system that seems to work pretty well. Group savings is passed on to everyone.
2:02 pm
Judi
Thanks for the reminder to get a flu shot. Keep forgetting. One needle at a time.
2:03 pm
Judi
Local drug store offers to stab me every time I'm in there. Vampires!
2:03 pm
hego
time to get it Judi.
2:03 pm
Nef
but never forget to see what is covered compared to the previous years. That can be the shocker, Judi
2:03 pm
crosshair
I am glad we no longer relay on that either. lose your job,lose your coverage:( I am covered working or not working. when you workk you pay for it with the rest of the sheep, when you are not you are still cared for.
2:03 pm
hego
Nef, it's le4 and le4 for more and more money.
2:03 pm
crosshair
darn typos
2:05 pm
Nef
yep, hego, I know. :-(
2:05 pm
crosshair
"though they are debating a small co-pay to stop the emerg rooms getting filled with stuffy noses
2:05 pm
Judi
Yes. I know, Nef. Co-pays may go up. Usually, tho, the cost of services goes up but the insurance company pay schedules don't change. So, the insured ends up having to pay more out-of-pocket.
2:05 pm
hego
Crossy's keyboard ahs a mind of it's own.. :)
2:05 pm
crosshair
it always has, hego
2:07 pm
Judi
Phhth. Plus, we have a huge amount of illegal aliens that our President now wants to hand green cards too. They all will get free health care. Watch out for massive cost increases then.
2:09 pm
Nef
Judi, could you please show me where that information came from? I haven't heard of that
2:09 pm
Judi
Wind whipping up. Must be a storm moving in. Gotta go shut windows.
2:10 pm
Nef
Brrrr! It's too cold here for open windows!
2:10 pm
Judi
Conservative talk radio, Nef. Listen to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc. etc. From the mouths of govt. insiders. Green cards being printed by the millions as we speak.
2:10 pm
crosshair
46F here atm
2:12 pm
hego
Judi I would stick a grain of salt with that.
2:14 pm
Nef
Judi, I really don't trust Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. They have both got the "Liar, Liar, pants-on-fire" title from Politifact.com
2:14 pm
Nef
it's just 40 (F) here this afternoon
2:15 pm

We'll see what happens after the mid-term elections.

I can see why people don't trust Limbaugh or Beck. I don't get why they trust a President who lies continually though.

I try to read all sides of the political spectrum and sometimes it's mind-boggling to do that. It has definitely made it extremely difficult to want to belong to any political party these days; sometimes it seems there is nothing to be proud of.
2:22 pm
Nef
(That's the end of my political mind here)
2:23 pm
hego
and a good point Nef.
2:23 pm
MollyL
That is why I'm registered Independent Nef.
2:24 pm
Nef
I am too this time around, Molly. It's very sad to me to make thatdecision
2:27 pm
Nef
hego, it's a good thing you found your to 6/21; II've been looking and coming up with everything wrong (& I find I can't count letters well either! :-D
2:27 pm
hego
do you need it?
2:29 pm
Nef
no, you clued the stats, now that I'm looking for a to 6, I'll find it! :-)
2:37 pm
Nef
I give up, may I have a clue now hego?
2:38 pm
hego
small child + female pronoun
2:39 pm

I was just typing that it will probably be really easy too! Thank you! (I'm pounding my head against the wall now, hoping to see better!)
2:40 pm
hego
it took me a while to find it.
2:40 pm

I got 3 other words from that clue; thanks!
2:45 pm

I have a cat that's seriously demanding attention now; I guess I need to check her food and litter maybe? BBS

2:47 pm
Jillyjill
Guess pretty soon here, fall will be over. Snow forecasted for weekend oh well...
2:47 pm

God bless Montana.
2:48 pm
Jillyjill
LOL..it needs it!
2:50 pm
Nef
Back, Well, she has food and her litter is okay; she doesn't want a snack or catnip; I guess she wanted some brushing (but only 3 or 4 strokes!)
2:51 pm
Jillyjill
Hi nef!
2:51 pm
Nef
hi Jilly and flosey; LONG time no see!
2:52 pm

how are you 2 doing these days?
2:52 pm
flosey
Hi Nef, doing great here thanks
2:53 pm
Nef
Good to hear, flossy.
2:53 pm
Jillyjill
3 people gone from surgery dept, one is a unfilled position, one on vacation, one out on leave....I am tired!
2:53 pm
Jillyjill
You both know what that's like!
2:54 pm
Nef
(((Jilly))) you aren't working overtime, are you?
2:54 pm
Jillyjill
Just short of it! Actually getting call pay on Fridays to be oncall for PACU
2:54 pm
flosey
hope that position is filled soon, Jill
2:55 pm
Jillyjill
Not looking good flosey. Can only hope!
2:55 pm
Nef
oh fun… maybe.Fridays can be tricky where I worked
2:55 pm
Jillyjill
No one seems to want to work M-F part time
2:56 pm
Nef
Hey Jill, I have a question for you. Is your hospital affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Labs?
2:56 pm
flosey
I can appreciate that Jill, when I worked half time, it was 2 full days and a half
2:57 pm
Nef
Wow, people WANT to work weekends?
2:58 pm
Jillyjill
No, I used to run a private duty department that covered RML needs and the Glaxobu\ Smith Cline operation here. But when RML went level 4 6 or 7 years ago, they run their own.
2:58 pm
Jillyjill
Glaxo Smith Cline
2:58 pm
Nef
That's good news for you I bet!
2:58 pm
Jillyjill
That's why there are Ebola beds in Missoula, to cover RML as they are working on Ebola here
2:59 pm
Jillyjill
Actually, I enjoyed that job... easy peasy, lots of people contact and I learned a lot being around them
2:59 pm
Nef
The beds are in Missoula? That seems odd to me...
3:00 pm
Jillyjill
whoo hoo.. got the 9!
3:00 pm
Nef
Which hospital?
3:00 pm
Jillyjill
It's only 45 minutes from here now. Our hospital evidently didn't want to put the $$ in to create the rooms.
3:00 pm
Jillyjill
St Patrick's
3:02 pm
Nef
I'd read a sight that said that there were only 5 or 6 hospitals that were set up for Ebola patients in the US and it listed RML as one of them….
3:02 pm
Nef
Good! (I think St. Pat'shas a better rep)
3:04 pm
Jillyjill
slightly off....it is for them, but not on sight
3:05 pm
Nef
I read up on the history of RML; it's quite interesting to me how the site was chosen, etc.! :-)
3:05 pm
Nef
(I was curious how such a relatively small town got such a prestigious research facility)
3:06 pm
Jillyjill
Used to be the thought here that there weren't ticks on the west side of the river. Original RML builiding was in old school house, now that's our local theatre building.
3:07 pm
Jillyjill
Just blind unluck I guess with spotted tick fever. I have a lot of friends that are scientists there. Been good for our town
3:07 pm
Nef
So they preserved the original building? Nice!
3:07 pm
Jillyjill
Want another little tidbit?
3:10 pm
Jillyjill
Glaxo Smith Cline purchased our little pharmacuetical company. It was producing an antigent that makes vaccines work better. Their original thought was they'd buy it, then have the agent, move it's production over to europe, then close this branch. LOL, don't know why, but they were unable to replicate the agent anywhere but here. So now they have built a huge new building here.
3:11 pm
Jillyjill
So between RML and GSC, we have 1000+ people employed!
3:11 pm
Nef
Wow! That's really interesting!
3:12 pm
Jillyjill
I know...that's why I was fortunate to have that program.
3:12 pm
Nef
My friend (also a nurse) has a brother who was a doctor and worked in research for SKG; but he worked out on the East coast all of the time
3:12 pm
Jillyjill
Pretty good for this little town!
3:13 pm
Jillyjill
I was sorely tempted to get my certification in CM and take a job at one of those two places. Would have been a good move...Oh well
3:13 pm
Nef
it's excellent for your town! Now I understand why a house you once posted about being for sale cost so much! :-D
3:14 pm
Jillyjill
Case Managment or could have done Industrial health
3:15 pm
Nef
Oh! Sounds interesting
3:16 pm
Jillyjill
But in the end, I truly love hands on nursing, patient care and nursing skills like IV's....guess I must be where God wants me to be...
3:17 pm
Nef
yes. I found that things always go better when *I* don't always get what *I* want; sometimes God's plans are better.
3:17 pm
Jillyjill
Whew! Finally NBT/NBS
3:18 pm
Jillyjill
The real downside was that when an employee of GSK, you get their meds at cost...LOL
3:20 pm
Nef
now that would be nice. I'm trying to get medicare part D now (no one told me that I'd be penalized forever for not signing up for it at the start) because 2 different meds of mine have such huge co-pays and the prices fluctuate every month!
3:21 pm
Jillyjill
I don't know about you, but I think resident evil are drug companies and insurance companies!
3:21 pm
Nef
1 med I take cost me almost $3.00/pill this month, 3 months ago it was $2.00/pill
3:21 pm
Nef
YUP! (my meds are generic too!)
3:22 pm
Jillyjill
I am not on drops for dry eyes because they are $250/month. Already paying $800+ per month for health insurance and it only covers generic
3:23 pm
Jillyjill
One of hubby's meds is $300 per month, and not covered since it is not generic.
3:24 pm
Nef
yeah, I hear you there. my DH's 1 med is over $1200/per month; luckily he had his doc get it reduced through the drug company
3:25 pm
Nef
Jilly, write to the drug company (or have your doc call if you can) to get those prices reduced. You shouldn't be going without eye drops (& I know you know that too)
3:25 pm
Jillyjill
No luck, already tried...
3:25 pm
Jillyjill
me too, need to put my drops in and give eyes a rest
3:28 pm
Nef
(((Jilly))) Dh went for a walk; I though he want down to the nearest street, but No;he went to the other end (his full walk will be nearly 1/4 mile now
3:39 pm
Jillyjill
And, actually, the drops don't work for everyone anyway....OTC drops if used regularily do...
3:40 pm
Jillyjill
Gosh, hope he's going to make it!
4:01 pm
Nef
I walked up and met him and walked back. He has spasticity in his legs, and he thought he could walk it off. He actually walked up to the far corner, then turned and went to the next corner (which is a much shorter block so when I went to look to see where he was; I saw his legs were weak. He uses a cane, and is stubborn
4:02 pm
Jillyjill
KNow all about that stubborness!
4:03 pm
Nef
There is a slight hill up to the end of our block, so he's worn out
4:03 pm
Nef
(Maybe he'll behave tonight!)
4:04 pm
Jillyjill
hopefully! (((nef and dh)))
4:05 pm
Nef
How's your better half doing these days?
4:07 pm
Nef
uh-oh. Grandson is home; he wants to do "science experiences" now!
4:07 pm
Jillyjill
It's wearing me out to keep tabs on him paying our bills...we ended up $400 overdrawn two weeks ago. Some concern over his driving plus he is not pulling his weight at home...
4:07 pm
Jillyjill
See you later nef!!
4:08 pm
Nef
it does weigh you out with stuff like that. Been there, done that with mine.
4:09 pm
Jillyjill
Yup! that's why you're so dear to me...you understand
4:09 pm
Nef
My DH has now figured out himself that he can't drive outside a well defined (by highways & freeways) area because he gets lost.
4:10 pm
Jillyjill
With mine, he has some memory loss on where to go, but so far, only in Missoula and not home.
4:10 pm
Nef
ANd we have devised a system of doing bills where we write down the bills for the month *together* and the game is to try to have enough money to do something special at the end of the month. Sometimes it actually works! :-)
4:11 pm
Nef
(Grandson is getting his Science testing stuff together; I have about 2 minutes left!)
4:12 pm
Jillyjill
I need to hone down our spending; I have a spreadsheet he checks off, the OD was due to him thinking I had a paycheck coming in. But it was also due to him missing our cellphone bill; he said it hadn't come...sigh
4:12 pm
Jillyjill
Have fun with that nef!
4:13 pm
Nef
We live in an inner suburb of MPLS/St. Paul; he's gotten lost even in his 4-5 square mile borders; so he's more careful now
4:13 pm

6:13 pm

Not too bad. I survived two fillings at the dentist today.
6:16 pm
Jillyjill
Yuck....I hate dentists visits
6:17 pm
jaxx7
So do I. I also went to hospital to have the bandage on my scalded hand redone. they think it will be another week or more before I wont need a dressing.
6:18 pm
Jillyjill
Ouch... I didn't know, how did that happen and how badly?
6:20 pm
jaxx7
Scalding hot tea and very badly. the blister that came up was 3 inches long by 1inch wide and about 1 inch tall. It started on the back of my hand and snaked its way around the underside of my wrist. Quite a sight.
6:20 pm
Jillyjill
OH wow...so sorry!
6:20 pm
Jillyjill
Dentist would rank a distant second to that!
6:21 pm
jzw
Ouch. A year ago I dumped hot hot tea on my chest and I still have a scar
6:21 pm
Jillyjill
You need to learn to drink iced tea!
6:21 pm
jaxx7
I was very sorry for myself initially and the pain was awful but I am over that now. It is just a bit of a nuisance to travel 7 miles to the nearest casualty department every other day.
6:21 pm
Jillyjill
that's ok jzw....I'm done with grid...LOL
6:22 pm
jzw
Yup I do. Funny thing is that my dermatologist said she did the same thing with pasta sauce.
6:23 pm
Jillyjill
I make caramels every Christmas...am always scared to death I'll spill it on me...but they're too good not to risk it!
6:24 pm
jaxx7
Anything like sauces and soup are creamy and stick. My husband went to the nearest garage and bought what he thought was water. he didn't have his specs so what he brought back was Fruit Shoot Blackcurrant so I was sticky as well as burned.
6:24 pm
jzw
Fruit Shoot? What's that?
6:25 pm
Jillyjill
Oh dear!
6:25 pm
jaxx7
A soft drink in a small bottle.
6:27 pm
jaxx7
I am finding that the older I get the dafter i am becoming. the day before I had decided to jump off the bed after retrieving something from the top of the wardrobe. I headbutted the wardrobe.
6:27 pm
Jillyjill
Well, after my stroke, the only deficit I had was balance...so I have learned to slow down, even at 56
6:29 pm
Jillyjill
Well, dinner time here...any last requests for clues?
6:29 pm
jaxx7
I am a little older than that (68) and I should know better. I have never been good with balance so I can sympathise with you.
6:29 pm

ey8 is plural for what you need in a mask to see

6:44 pm
jaxx7
Scalded left hand in bandage, Two new fillings, one of which is aching despite painkillers. Grandson has returned home so Darby and Joan are having to talk to each other. lol
6:45 pm
grannyrose
yeah, i read about that scald when you first did it. i am still cringing inside at the thought.
6:45 pm
grannyrose
do you have any oil of cloves in the house? or teething gel ?
6:46 pm
jaxx7
You should see it now! scarlet area where the blister was with dead black and yellow skin around it. The rest of the burned area is starting to peel. Lovely
6:47 pm

I have teething gel - good idea, thank you.

6:52 pm
jaxx7
You have withdrawal symptoms, eh?
6:52 pm
grannyrose
jaxx, it would not be a pretty sight. any mention of skin grafts yet?
6:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am on a boat, and when it is in the marina there is wi fi. actually no, just needed it once for something.
6:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
otherwise, there is always something to do.
6:54 pm
jaxx7
Not yet. They reckon it will be another week before the bandages come off. It is clean and not too deep so they might not need to do skingrafts.
6:56 pm
grannyrose
TO, well if you are chatting from a tablet you are doing very well.
6:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

t into our laundry yesterday, and th5 was a brand new bucket in the trough. i called out to him, asking where the old one was. he said he threw it out as the handle was rusty, the colour had faded, and it had a big ho4 in the bottom.
7:22 pm
grannyrose
when i looked at him quizzically, he said, it must have been fragile, a piece of the ceiling i am removing fell out of my hands and went straight through the bottom.
7:22 pm

There is a ho4 in the bucket, dear granny, dear granny...

I love games like this. The series has been pretty onesided each game for the most part.

10:25 pm
stidmama
I was in the ER with one of Grant's friends...
10:27 pm
stidmama
the friend will be okay - but I will go to school "late" for me (only a little before I am contracted to be there)
10:27 pm
Bugsaw
Kansas lost by one run. It was a very exciting game. Tell me about the friend. What happened and where were his parents?
10:28 pm
stidmama
allergic reaction, and at work. I contacted the appropriate parental units and was able to get to the ER first. Remember, the "kids" are adults now! LOL
10:29 pm
stidmama
sounds like a good match... I didn't manage to see a single one of the games this year. :-(
10:29 pm
Bugsaw
oh my goodness. you would be a good one to calm him but how old do they have to be to be adults? I can't believe Grant is that old already
10:30 pm
stidmama
he is almost 20! friend is about a year younger.
10:31 pm
Bugsaw
I am shocked! He was holding at 16 in my mind.
10:32 pm
stidmama
He says HE feels about 5!
10:33 pm
stidmama
oh gods... he has vowed to NEVER grow up!!!! *faint*
10:33 pm
Bugsaw
he has the abandon of a 5 year old. Such a good quality to keep as an adult. You go Grant!
10:34 pm
stidmama
:-) He says he will, and let you know how it goes....
10:35 pm
Bugsaw
I will be watching
10:36 pm
Bugsaw
I hope the friend bot an epipen on the way home
10:38 pm
stidmama

10:39 pm
Bugsaw
are you still having fun at school?
10:40 pm
stidmama
YES!!!! and I was SO happy to get through today. I have only a couple "really feel I must do" activities for tomorrow, and fun fun fun planned for Friday...
10:41 pm
stidmama
and then I have to spend the weekend doing report cards... and the following week the gauntlet of parent conferences.
10:41 pm
Bugsaw
the kids must be going nuts with anticipation of Halloween
10:43 pm
stidmama
But the kids are such great people and I really think I am "mostly" getting it when it comes to figuring out what they need.
10:43 pm
Bugsaw
My 2 tutees have been slacking off a lot and now must face the prospect of having the school inform their parents. They are both chagrined but I hope they become more cooperative fast!
10:44 pm
stidmama
They ARE going nuts ... fortunately Mother and the other teachers are great at helping me anticipate, and I have strong support for making instructional decisions that take into account their inability to focus (or articulate their feelings)
10:44 pm
Bugsaw
My youngest granddaughter is in Grade 3. She lOVES her teacher.
10:44 pm
stidmama
oh oh.... hope that they can and will turn things around!
