12:52 am

grannyrose

lovely dee. sound of falling bricks and breaking plaster board coming from laundry. don has more than half the chimney down. and has started on the ceiling and walls.

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

wow! That sounds like a huge project.

12:53 am

grannyrose

he's doing it in small stages. when ever the weather allows him to do some. at least he has made a start. can't go back now...lol

12:54 am

grannyrose

apparently we had bush rats in the walls. we have found nests made from grass.

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

good that he started, then. Is he wearing a mask while he works?

12:55 am

grannyrose

absolutely. and vacuums thoroughly each time.

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

good... that is really important with rodents YUK

12:55 am

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

have to get a blood test and my flu shot tomorrow grrr

1:03 am

grannyrose

wow! dee, well done

1:04 am

grannyrose

why is your shoulder sore? you didn't fall on it. did you?

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

thks, rose, haven't done that for awhile. Getting flu shot always makes me nervous; haven't had any problems the last few years, but you never know

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

no fall, must have slept on it wrong... muscles sore and knotty

1:05 am

grannyrose

i do know. last years actually gave me the flu.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

praying that doesn't happen to me... have too much to do the next couple of weeks

1:06 am

grannyrose

and it's so darn hard to reach properly to rub anything into it.

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

Was sooooo thankful I asked my rheumatologist about the shingles vaccine.... he said, "no way"... it is a live virus, and I shouldn't take the risk of getting / having shingles.

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

exactly, I have been using a handheld massager and heating pad on it, but it will take awhile to work itself out.

1:07 am

grannyrose

ugh, no way you would want that.

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

strange how they want me to take some vaccines, but not others

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

any more news on your case?

1:09 am

grannyrose

most vaccines have been attenuated. that means the virus cells have been emptied a and just the shape remains. our bodies form antigens to that particular cell shape.

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

intersting

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

oops ... sp interesting

1:09 am

grannyrose

still waiting for medical board appointment. probably early december now.

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

hopefully you will have answers before year end, so it isn't hanging over your head

1:11 am

grannyrose

that's what i want dee. start the new year with only looking forward stuff.

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

fingers crossed

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

well, I need to get going. Hope you have a great eve / day!!

1:12 am

grannyrose

enjoy dee. hope you get to sleep well. praying for that shoulder, dear.

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

Thanks! Greatly appreciated!! TTFN

3:24 am

jwr

ducking in with a message for Ruru: real fireworks in the neighborhood tonight, hey!

3:25 am

jwr

If you're around, that is. gotta go back to work. hi/bye

4:00 am

sprite

good morning all!

4:01 am

sprite

first and foremost, I want to apologise for creating a totally wrong impression in chog yesterday. Ruru never ever did anything to upset me or rose, and I am really sorry I made it seem that way.

4:04 am

grannyrose

{{sprite}} hugs and kisses. just started dinner, so if i am slow in answering please forgive

4:04 am

sprite

I was very upset about a private matter yesterday, which rose helped me solve. Not related to babble in any way. *hugs to rose for being such a great friend*

4:05 am

sprite

hi sweetie, no problem, we need that dinner to be good ;)

4:06 am

sprite

as for the poem in ruru's profile, it has nothing to do with me or rose and fits the one it IS for perfectly. Again I apologise for creating confusion or doubting ruru.

4:12 am

roshult18

hi everyone!

4:12 am

sprite

hi roshult :)

4:26 am

grannyrose

and back. how are you doing sprite? how was your night? oh, and i have emailed you too.

4:29 am

sprite

just hit the send button for the answer email! I am doing pretty good. I slept (wonder why?) and didn't even dream too badly either. Back pain is slowly subsiding. All good.

4:30 am

sprite

How are you today, darling?

4:31 am

grannyrose

leaning heavily on the magnesium. :-( i am going to have to take 2 in the morning. and another at lunch time.

4:31 am

sprite

oh dear :( Not good. I hope it wasn't the trip to town that made you overdo things?

4:32 am

grannyrose

what good news dear. so glad you were able to sleep for once.

4:32 am

sprite

way lower stress lvls... what a blessing. Seriously.

4:35 am

grannyrose

got your email, dear. will act on it tomorrow.

4:36 am

sprite

thanks darling. *hugs*

4:38 am

sprite

is it next month when you will hear more from your specialist's office? About who is gonna take over what from poor dr Tim?

4:39 am

grannyrose

yes dear. i'm not going to wait til the end of the month. i will ring about week two i think. btw, physio has given me the name of another pain control dr about 30mins drive away.

4:41 am

sprite

ok that sounds good. But you still need someone to take over those magnesium infusions.

4:43 am

sprite

if that is at all possible, since he was such a pioneer.

4:43 am

grannyrose

physio said this dr listens to what the patients say and act accordingly. i will take dr tim's report with me, which clearly outlines his planned treatment.

4:44 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

4:44 am

sprite

oh that is brilliant. That should help.

4:44 am

sprite

hiya crossy :) May I refer you to my apology at 4.01 am? In case you need it?

4:45 am

sprite

how did Elegant's scan go?

4:45 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy.

4:47 am

crosshair

scan is not till Nov 3rd and I was confused anyways, I was quite sure that the poem in question was not in any way,shape, or form referring to rose.

4:48 am

crosshair

((rose)) ((sprite))

4:48 am

sprite

ah ok, I thought it was yesterday.
Indeed, you were right, the poem wasn't. At all.

4:48 am

crosshair

thought not:))

4:49 am

crosshair

ugh..we have a skunk close by out in the darkness this morning and the atmosphere is quite... fragrant:(

4:50 am

sprite

uh-oh! I have heard it is a very penetrant odour.

4:50 am

crosshair

had to close the windows.. blech!

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose, Sprite and Crossy :-)

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Bluish skies today here.YaY!

4:52 am

crosshair

'howdy zooz

4:52 am

sprite

hi zooz :) How are you today? *hugs*

4:53 am

grannyrose

hey it's zooz. g'day mate

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Still can not spell as you can see.apart from that I am well..lol

4:53 am

sprite

you spell well enough for us

4:54 am

crosshair

I have never let spelling get in my way:)

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Maybe so, Sprite but it is evident not good enough for the grid..lol

4:54 am

sprite

oh, a bit of misspelling might actually render some words, in babble grids, lol

4:55 am

zoozzoom

LOL very true...very true :-)

4:55 am

zoozzoom

I trust everyone is well?

4:56 am

sprite

zooz, in case you were upset about something in chog yesterday, I posted an apology at 4.01 am today.

4:56 am

sprite

I am well, thanks.

4:58 am

grannyrose

just a few muscle spasms here, zooz. magnesium tabs helping.

4:58 am

sprite

*sends gently healing vibes to rose's muscles*

4:59 am

grannyrose

*sending gentle hugs and kisses for sprites aching back*

5:00 am

sprite

thanks sweetie :)

5:02 am

zoozzoom

I did not get that impression, Sprite at all.Not sure why you would think you had upset, Ruru.Unless I missed something(not hard for me..lol) As for the poem in, Ruru's profile..It clearly states the name of the babbler at the top of the poem :-)

5:04 am

crosshair

indeed

5:04 am

crosshair

a balmy 37F this morn

5:05 am

crosshair

3c

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Still very mild here, Crossy :-)

5:05 am

zoozzoom

We are clinging onto the warm air.

5:05 am

sprite

Ruru and I emailed about this and he was right, I had posted something that could be easily misunderstood. I just want to make sure we are all on the same page :D

5:06 am

sprite

we are having a balmy autumn so far. It is a bit colder now, but for the weekend they expect temperatures to reach 20 celcius again.

5:07 am

zoozzoom

Well you did say you had a meeting or phone call you were worried about and Rose offered to message you to talk about things.So for me it was very clear what it was about.And certainly none of my business :-)

5:07 am

crosshair

interesting.. I won half a mill and a laptop in a Gmail lottery and yet-- they do not even know my name or address me personally:) These phishing attempts get tiresome

5:07 am

sprite

rose, thanks for the hugs and kissed :) My answer got lost in cyber hiccup space

5:08 am

sprite

oh yes. Very tiresome. Stupid phishers.

5:08 am

crosshair

that one sneaked past the junk mail filters

5:09 am

sprite

they always find new ways to make that happen

5:09 am

sprite

and it is inevitable that developers of junk mail filters and such are always one step behind. You can't fix something until it i actually there.

5:09 am

grannyrose

my poor tummy is so full. we had an indian banquet from a new restaurant. we got so much food, that i know what is for dinner tomorrow night.

5:09 am

sprite

it is*

5:10 am

zoozzoom

My paretns get lots of those but in phone calls.Congratulations..you have won $4.8 million ..my mother tells them to send it to her then instead of keep phoning to tell her.Then she just hangs up.I am amazed at how many people fall for these scams.

5:10 am

sprite

oh wow! Sounds delish. I simply love indian.

5:10 am

zoozzoom

parents*

5:10 am

sprite

am glad your parents know how to get rid of them

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Yes thankfully they seem to be wise to these type of things.

5:11 am

grannyrose

don tells the telephoners, sorry, i don't have a phone. after a stunned silence, they usually hang up.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:12 am

zoozzoom

Love it!

5:12 am

sprite

roflol good one. My husband enjoys taking them on a wild goose chase. Asks them the craziest questions. Makes them hang up on him.

5:12 am

zoozzoom

I must tell my parents to do that one next time..Thank you so much for making me laugh out loud..lol

5:13 am

grannyrose

the other line he uses is...this is the detective inspector, murder squad....and who are you?

5:13 am

crosshair

these scams will only continue as long as one person falls for it:(

5:14 am

sprite

hehehe I like that one as well.

5:15 am

sprite

"This is the police, division internet and telecom fraud. Hold on why we collect your data..."

5:15 am

crosshair

I had one phisher give a location that was only a few blocks from my uncle in the U.K, so I asked the scammer just to walk on down and hand in the cheque for 1.5 million pounds and they could cash it together and I would even shoot him 10k lol

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Okay bath is ready..will come back later to find mt last 44.Thanks for the chat and the laughs.

5:15 am

grannyrose

ooohhh, i love it.

5:15 am

zoozzoom

haha nice one, Sprite.

5:15 am

sprite

roflol nice one crossy

5:15 am

sprite

enjoy, zooz :)

5:18 am

sprite

fireflies. Good grid today. Not that easy, but interesting.

5:19 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! hopefully i will have some good news at the next flip.

5:19 am

sprite

am gonna hug you all and say goodbye for today. Must prepare a little speech for tonight. I was asked to come and tell new patients and family about the therapy for eating disorders that I went through.

5:20 am

sprite

I hope so too, rose :D *hugs* extra for you, my dear friend.

5:20 am

grannyrose

what an honour, sprite. hope you have a lovely day. xoxox

5:20 am

sprite

:D I do feel honoured, yes. And want my speech to be good. *poof*

{{crossy}}?

5:28 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby

5:29 am

rubyfoo

hello rosie. I just got back from the radiologist. I was having very bad pains and was worried that I had bone cancer (after reast cancer)!

5:29 am

rubyfoo

I'm arthritic! Quel surprise!

5:29 am

rubyfoo

Anyway, I eel very relieved

5:32 am

grannyrose

ouch ruby. poor you.

5:32 am

rubyfoo

t my age, if it's only arthritis, and with my history, I am grateful!

5:33 am

grannyrose

you must be so relieved, hun.

5:34 am

grannyrose

duh, you have already said that...lol...

5:35 am

rubyfoo

I take paracetemol with codeine every morning and wonder if paracetemol works as well for arthritis as aspirin. What do you think?

5:35 am

crosshair

((ruby))

5:36 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, kids.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

5:36 am

rubyfoo

GM sCRABBS

5:36 am

rubyfoo

whoops, errant pinkie

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Aspirin and ibuprofen provide an anti-inflammatory effect BUT daily use can cause stomach irritation, ulcer, and bleeding.

5:37 am

crosshair

I have had many broken bones over the years ruby and even at my relatively young age arthritis as been a constant companion for me. i share your aches and pains

5:37 am

crosshair

howdy scrabby

5:38 am

rubyfoo

aaah, so it's a result of the varius broken bones. That's good news. I was afraid that I had re-opened my sternum or broken ribs.

5:38 am

crosshair

In my case it is, that and herniated neck disks

5:39 am

rubyfoo

The radiologist was a pr*** and had too much trouble understanding me ( and smelled sweaty at 9AM!)

5:39 am

crosshair

terrible when they are rude and unprofessional

5:40 am

Scrabbler

I so dislike rude people.

5:40 am

rubyfoo

my French is OK, so I think he was just rude

5:40 am

rubyfoo

and maybe he doesn't like Americans, although I imagine vveryy few arrive at that clinic

5:41 am

crosshair

and they wonder why they get typecast that way lol

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Jut remember, rude, angry, mean people are sad inside. Don't take it personally. It's HIS issue.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

Generally, I find the French people to be more than nice and welcoming, even though I have an American accent

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Mature people ARE respectful and kind.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

In the 15 yrs I've been here, I have only experienced rudeness and incomprehension from 2 doctors and a butcher!

5:45 am

Scrabbler

A quote I remind myself of often: Hurt people hurt people.

5:45 am

crosshair

wise words indeed, scrabby

5:46 am

rubyfoo

Amen!

5:48 am

crosshair

lol! had my settings on my weather channel set to American and forgot for a sec.. thought "holy crap!! heat wave tomorrow!".. until I reset it to metric. lol

5:48 am

rubyfoo

hahah

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Hah! We will get our first snow tomorrow.

5:49 am

grannyrose

sorry ruby, i had to dash. the indian food had a rather dramatic effect...lol

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

5:50 am

grannyrose

take panadol osteo 3 times/day, and ibuprofen at the same time. i always have a drink of milk with the tablets as i am very aware the stomach problems which can be caused.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

too soon for snow!

5:50 am

grannyrose

g'day, scrabs, perhaps it was too much information.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

I've been lucky with the para + codeine. I've been taking it for years' it doesn't affect my stomach' And I haven't had to increase the dosage

5:51 am

grannyrose

i can't take codeine as my body metabolises it too fast, and i get a high from it. and can't use tramadol, i get asthma.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

Recently, the pain was so bad that my local MD prescribed morphine. But tht's just a last resort as the effects on the gut are awful

5:53 am

Scrabbler

I laughed, Rose. Not a problem. I am a pediatrician and talk about pee and poop all day.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

Maybe I should start cooking Indian food again' it might solve all my problems!

5:54 am

grannyrose

yeah, i guess you would. * grin *

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I never did well with narcotics in the past, with 5 abdominal surgeries. Nausea, dizziness---certainly no high.

5:54 am

rubyfoo

Morphine is wonderful, but not the next day.

5:55 am

grannyrose

i have some endone on hand if i really need it. only having 1 tablet every 3 days at the moment. like just before hydro.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

When I've had surgeries, the doctors have been amazed at my tolerance. Thaty say I'm like a 200 lb. man!

5:55 am

grannyrose

ugh, scrabs, same here. would you believe i got nettle rash with fentanyl? i couldn't believe it!

5:57 am

rubyfoo

off to make lunch for old Burt

5:57 am

rubyfoo

72 and see you later, kids

5:58 am

grannyrose

okay, hun. i hope you have a good day, sweetie.xoxox

5:58 am

Scrabbler

What is nettle rash?

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Aha. Dr Google told me that nettle rash = hives. Nice term.

5:59 am

grannyrose

like urticaria, all over rash, itchy as all get out.

5:59 am

gran

re 6/24; re 7/36 clue plese

6:00 am

grannyrose

nettle rash is for the tiny little red dots. but i also get giant urticaria. and when they get into my eyes, nose and mouth, i have half an hour before ICU.

6:00 am

grannyrose

gran, what you do at the pawn shop to buy something back

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Another clue: what you do with a coupon. You turn it in or re6 it.

6:04 am

gran

pumpkin vodka aint bad

1:48 pm

hego

Pumpkin actually has very little taste. It's the accompanying spices we think of as "pumpkin".

1:55 pm

MollyL

Most people who say "they don't like pumpkin" mean they don't like pumpkin pie. It has a texture that some people don't care for. I'd be surprised if the people who say they don't like pumpkin, don't like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

1:55 pm

Are you sure it wasn't pumpkin pie filling?

2:00 pm

rubyfoo

you would love my pumpkin "tarte", I promise

2:00 pm

I'm sure Ruby.

2:01 pm

rubyfoo

no, it's just 100% pumpkin, doesn't even have salt

2:01 pm

I don't think so Ruby. The whole appeal of pumpkin pie is the spices in it.

And whatever pumpkin doesn't fit in the crust, I put in little custard cups and bake the next day

2:03 pm

I like eating the custard w/o the pie crust. Although, sometimes I'll make the pie with a choco cookie crumb crust.

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!! The largest lobster ever caught was taken from the waters off the shore of Nova Scotia and weighed in at a staggering 44.4 pounds!!.. would need lots of garlic butter!

hi all. lobster fun fact!

is the 8 a compound?

6:04 pm

nope

6:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, thanks

6:05 pm

6:06 pm

it is an odd one:)

6:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

not yet, thanks

6:21 pm

ChrissieDee

Crossy, pass on my best wishes to elegant for Monday. How long will she have to wait for the scan results?

6:23 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Chrissie

6:24 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi jaxx :)

6:24 pm

jaxx7

'Ow be ee?

6:25 pm

ChrissieDee

lol, all good here

6:25 pm

ChrissieDee

You?

6:26 pm

jaxx7

Not so bad here as well. Went out to lunch with a friend of 56 years standing. Do you know we never stopped nattering and we last saw each other 10 days ago.

6:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you're right, the 8 is a new word on me

6:27 pm

ChrissieDee

Sounds lovely. Not many friendships last that long

6:29 pm

ChrissieDee

Doesn't even have a definition in the dictionary Gwen

6:30 pm

jaxx7

My longest standing friend is currently in hospital with MRSA. We met when we were 9. She briefly came home and promptly broke her ankle and ended up back in hospital. They discovered she still had MRSA in her op scar. Poor soul

6:32 pm

jaxx7

Another of Babble's made up words.

6:32 pm

6:33 pm

True to form, a free word

6:33 pm

ChrissieDee

There she is, lol

6:33 pm

jaxx7

I am a generous soul. lol

6:34 pm

crosshair

I will, Chrissie. The way it works here is the results get forwarded to our family doctor. They will only call us if there is bad news. You never hear actual "results" If everything is ol you will not hear from them at all.

6:34 pm

crosshair

ok*

6:35 pm

crosshair

Guess it saves them a phone call lol

6:35 pm

jaxx7

Doesn't help you, though

6:36 pm

ChrissieDee

That's bad crossy. You should not be left on tenterhooks a simple call just to say all is well would not be too much trouble

6:36 pm

crosshair

noipe. I I want a full rundown after hearing nothing back, i must make an appointment with my family doc

6:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

darn, i already had that one! lol

6:36 pm

crosshair

if*

6:36 pm

jaxx7

Not so generous a soul then. lol

6:37 pm

ChrissieDee

I didn't :)

6:37 pm

jaxx7

Well, every cloud has a silver lining.

6:38 pm

ChrissieDee

Shamelessly scooped it up

6:38 pm

crosshair

I do not mind so muc, but you learn real fast to hate it when they call you. On the bright side, waits for CT scans and M.R.I's are very short atm

6:39 pm

crosshair

I can get an MRI done faster than I can see my own doctor lol!

6:40 pm

ChrissieDee

Yes, I guess you are both experts on dealing with your healthcare system

6:40 pm

crosshair

Well, the system if not perfect, but it works:)

6:41 pm

crosshair

is not*

6:41 pm

jaxx7

We Brits don't have one any longer

6:41 pm

crosshair

?

6:41 pm

crosshair

No more universal health care plan?

6:42 pm

ChrissieDee

We still have the NHS, but it going to hell in a handcart

6:42 pm

crosshair

;(

6:43 pm

jaxx7

You can't see a doctor if you are ill without going through telephone triage to get a same day appointment. You go to casualty where they are worked off their feet and you have to hurt yourself between set hours and then HMG moans about you not going to your doctor.

6:44 pm

saanichcat

crossy what province do you live in? Just curious; our wait list vary greatly from here in BC

6:45 pm

LuvWordGames

fa 7/44 please?

6:46 pm

jaxx7

The only folk who seem to get the NHS are asylum seekers and immigrants. They push older people off doctors lists so they can be treated.

6:46 pm

crosshair

I am in Ontario. Things like M.R.I's used to be 1-2 months but now ti seems I can get one in a week or so

6:46 pm

crosshair

same with CT's and Ultrasounds

6:47 pm

saanichcat

amazing. What about PET scans?

6:48 pm

crosshair

I do not know,saan, I have never had one

6:48 pm

jaxx7

Haven't got it, Luv, sorry

6:48 pm

saanichcat

thanks crossy for the info!

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks - came back for my final 3 words. Funny how easy they seemed this morning but couldn't find them last night!

6:49 pm

crosshair

Looked it up though.. it looks much like an MRI machine

6:49 pm

jaxx7

Hi Lizlin. It is called Babble blindness

6:49 pm

Lizlin

fa 7 - fa + last 3 of the subject that chemistry is - a sc *****

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Babble blindness or tiredness or a mixture of both!

6:50 pm

doseffing

PET scans are hard to get because there aren't many PET scanners around ... only 4 or 5

6:50 pm

jaxx7

Well done though.

6:50 pm

saanichcat

It's a new super CT - we only have one piblic one in all of BC and maybe a couple of private ones.

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Any other clues wanted before I go?

6:50 pm

crosshair

Bit of a tidbit from that: McMaster U in Hamilton Ontario is the only University in Ontario with its very own nuclear reactor. They train in nuclear medicine there

6:51 pm

Lizlin

Thanks, jaxx

6:51 pm

ChrissieDee

Congrats Liz, and thanks for the 7

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Thanks and yw

6:52 pm

saanichcat

the wait list is 6 - 8 months for the private system if you are really really ill; if you are rich and ill you can cough up $3600 plus travel, overnight etc in one day notice

6:52 pm

crosshair

it is much like the one at Chalk river and is a true antique, but totally indispensable!

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening / night everyone :)

6:53 pm

crosshair

gn liz

6:53 pm

Lizlin

lol - I only just got up!

6:53 pm

crosshair

Well, here is hoping I never need a PET scan

6:53 pm

jaxx7

Night, Liz

6:53 pm

jaxx7

Here we hope we never need a doctor

6:54 pm

saanichcat

good one jaxx!

6:54 pm

doseffing

... true ... but it saved my life ... they didn't realize how much of my liver was gone ... I can catch just about everything ... but at 5 million bucks a machine you don't see many

6:54 pm

crosshair

Just checked;we have 13 PET scan centres in Ontario

6:54 pm

jaxx7

Sad but true

6:55 pm

crosshair

we have three in Toronto in public hospitals

6:55 pm

saanichcat

that's about the same population ratio, in other words very scarce as dofs said

6:56 pm

jaxx7

Willing to bet they still don't call you back if the news is good.

6:56 pm

crosshair

5 of those 13 look to be at private clinics

6:56 pm

saanichcat

I meant to say earlier, (typo) we have ony yhe one PUBLIC one and it's at the Cancer Clinic

6:57 pm

saanichcat

in Vancouver

6:57 pm

doseffing

... we need more hockey players to get cancer ... ... the first one in Quebec was paid for by Saaku Koivu when he was playing for Montreal and came down with cancer ... they told him they wished they had one because they figured it would help him ... ... he wrote them a cheque for 5 million on the spot

6:58 pm

saanichcat

wooooww

6:58 pm

crosshair

thats the way to do it!

6:59 pm

crosshair

We have a wealthy family in the city, The Munk family and they are orever buying equipment and new wings for the hospitals down south

6:59 pm

crosshair

forever

6:59 pm

saanichcat

They can do a whole body scan in 15 minutes and pick out all traces of any cancers

6:59 pm

crosshair

very cool

6:59 pm

jaxx7

I have reached the point where my eyes are crossing, too many letters. Night all. Take care

6:59 pm

... they bought half of Toronto General didn't they?

6:59 pm

7:00 pm

Google is working on a bit of cancer detecting equipment that you swallow!

7:00 pm

ChrissieDee

Night night jaxx

7:00 pm

doseffing

... undergoing a PET scan is identical to undergoing a CT scan ...

7:00 pm

saanichcat

what can't google do?

7:00 pm

crosshair

I think so does, and helped build parts of Princess margerettes

7:00 pm

doseffing

... that's been kicking around for a couple of years now

7:01 pm

crosshair

I spnt half a year there using things they paid for and sent them my thankful vibes.

7:01 pm

doseffing

... I think it's for stomach and colon cancers ... it's got a camera in it which you swallow and it goes through you system sending back pictures

7:02 pm

saanichcat

The PET uses a radioactive sugar; you need a medical to to fly because you set off alarms up to several hours after the test!

7:02 pm

saanichcat

a medical note to fly...

7:02 pm

doseffing

... oh well ... gotta go ... and don't wanna go back to Princess Margaret ... spent too much time there already

7:02 pm

lol! I set them off anyways. I have a bunch of metal in my legs from years ago:)

7:03 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends

7:57 pm

rururocks

Hey bugs

7:58 pm

Bugsaw

a scan from you is probably more fun ruru but wouldn't give the peace of mind that medical ones do

7:58 pm

SpellCheck

Hi Bugs (excuse my presumption)

7:58 pm

SpellCheck

hah!

7:58 pm

rururocks

Yeah and they are more manual

7:58 pm

Bugsaw

there are always people in the room SpellCheck

7:59 pm

rururocks

Isn't it about feeling good though bugs? :D

8:00 pm

Bugsaw

I supposed so. I won't engage in whether everyone wants your kind of scan tho

8:00 pm

SpellCheck

Shall I return to lurking and give you two some privacy? ;-)

8:00 pm

rururocks

I better stop before i get in trouble

8:01 pm

Chaperoning me is a very tough job

8:02 pm

I have gotten that impression over time!

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

thanks sugra. I don't want a scan from ruru either!

8:04 pm

rururocks

Aw youse guys are no fun at all

8:04 pm

Bugsaw

8:04 pm

rururocks

Exactly...i do have boundaries bugs

8:05 pm

SpellCheck

wow ru, really? boundaries? really?

8:05 pm

rururocks

Ouch

8:05 pm

You must be talking about property boundaries (as opposed to propriety)

8:08 pm

SpellCheck

Uh oh, no response in 4 minutes. You know I was joking, right?

8:09 pm

rururocks

No..i was just trying to come up with something cute

You couldn't possibly offend me spell

8:10 pm

Lovely... 82ish degrees F today

8:10 pm

rururocks

Cool and cloudy here

8:10 pm

SpellCheck

Is that a dare?

8:11 pm

SpellCheck

We're supposed to have our first rain on Friday night. Poor kiddies. That will make trick or treating a miserable experience.

8:11 pm

rururocks

Could be..but my motto has always been...if you dish it out ya gotta be able to take it

8:12 pm

rururocks

Think of all that runny mascara tomorrow

8:13 pm

rururocks

And that is just hollywood :D

8:14 pm

SpellCheck

Do you do Halloween in Canada Bugs?

8:15 pm

SpellCheck

Going to any parties Ru? I'm curious what costume you'd be wearing?

8:15 pm

Bugsaw

Sorry, yes we do but it has changed too much to be fun for the little ones anymore. It is not about the costumes, just the candy

8:15 pm

rururocks

No. I like handing out candy

8:16 pm

saanichcat

A bottle of Chateau Former Self?

8:16 pm

SpellCheck

We don't get any/many kids here. I used to decorate a bunch, but now I don't bother.

8:17 pm

rururocks

I do have some hall of fame costumes in my past

8:17 pm

SpellCheck

Hi saan

8:17 pm

SpellCheck

Such as?

8:17 pm

Bugsaw

8:18 pm

saanichcat

Hi Spell, where I live we all go the firehall and have ahuge bonfire; the kids trick or treat there, we fireworks and booze and it lots of fun. Oviouslt=y very small community!

8:18 pm

saanichcat

sorry about my typing tonight

8:19 pm

saanichcat

hi bugs!

8:19 pm

SpellCheck

Most of the kids go trick or treating in the mall here. I remember being out all night in the neighborhood, unsupervised, and later unchaperoned. ;)

8:19 pm

saanichcat

And ru!

8:19 pm

SpellCheck

Sounds lovely Saan. Hubby and I are getting VERY tired of the Los Angeles area. Too many people everywhere.

8:20 pm

Bugsaw

I am with Speller. I liked being out after dark with million of other kids and if you had a good costume you got more treats, some of them homemade fudge or popcorn balls.

8:21 pm

saanichcat

it is pure heaven; moved here almost 36 years ago, we are also surrounded by parks and ocean

8:21 pm

SpellCheck

Mom was a meanie though. We had to give half our candy to the school. I think they collected for the hospital or something.

8:21 pm

Bugsaw

now the kids go to the mall (in LA) or walk the downtown stores in the small town we are in.

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

We used to go out with pillowcases so I am sure we brought home WAY more than we ever saw.

8:22 pm

SpellCheck

We almost moved to Vancouver for work about 5 years ago. I was really excited, but it didn't work out.

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

too bad. you aould be close to Saainch and I

8:22 pm

saanichcat

being out after dark in costume was soooo much fun, almost wickedly exciting, firecrackers and burning leaves, sigh

8:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i will be at a friend's house in Detroit, they decorate the front lawn, set up creepy music, smoke machines, etc, and scare both kiddies and parents

8:25 pm

saanichcat

and bugs , my goodies went missing too. Our parents must have loved it, kids bringing candies home!

8:25 pm

saanichcat

that sounds like a lot of fun Gwen, sure would love that

8:25 pm

Bugsaw

my mother had a sweet tooth.

8:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, it's fun, except weather forecast is for snow! (yes, we have ruined the climate and the planet is trying to kill us)

8:28 pm

SpellCheck

Invariably, at this time of year, I have a craving for candy corn. Of course, after two or three pieces, I'm ready to toss the bag, but I can't get past that craving!

8:28 pm

saanichcat

if the snow isn't too heavy it will be even scarier!

8:28 pm

Bugsaw

a old friend used to get dressed like a scarecrow and lie on the driveway beside a bowl of candy that held a sign saying, "Take 2 only. Sorry we can't be home."

8:28 pm

SpellCheck

LOVE that!!!

8:29 pm

saanichcat

That is Hilarious bugs!

8:29 pm

Bugsaw

If kids tried to take more than 2 hew ould reach out and grab their ankle. Lots of kids went home with wet pants but were honest from then on

8:29 pm

Or did it end badly-- person lying in driveway at night!

8:31 pm

SpellCheck

Seriously, I don't get this holiday. Yes, it's fun to be someone else for awhile. Costumes are great fun for kids and adults. But who wants to be scared?

8:31 pm

rururocks

*puts candy corn in the PB*

8:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some enjoy being scared. some enjoy parachuting or roller coasters, same reason

8:31 pm

Bugsaw

I guess that is why the little ones go downtown now. They don't want to be scared.

8:32 pm

Bugsaw

the niddle sized ones LOVE being scared

8:32 pm

Oooh. Thanks Ru.

8:32 pm

SpellCheck

Ok, for a change of topic... My doctor is finally moving into the technological age. Any opinions on these physician portals? I'm concerned that an underlying party might have all my data?

Bugsaw

they probably have it anyway.

8:58 pm

SpellCheck

Perhaps, but I'm concerned about what the underlying company might do with that data, or how they might protect it. I actually read the privacy policy and it gave me enough pause not to select "I agree"

9:00 pm

Bugsaw

I wouldn't give my data willingly either. Aren't there laws that protect physician confidentiality?

9:02 pm

SpellCheck

Yes, but.... And it's not like I have anything in my records that I need to hide. But these things give me pause.

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

I would worry about your future tho. What if you develop something and they decide to deny that particular illness now they know you have it

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

or could have

9:03 pm

SpellCheck

Exactly.

9:06 pm

SpellCheck

Ancestry.com was recently sold to a private equity company. Are the underlying privacy terms the same with the new company? They now own that data....

9:07 pm

Bugsaw
