neighbours are driving me crazy! They are getting all windowframes taken out and new ones in... the noise starts at 7 am and continues on until 10 pm. Ugh.

good heavens!!! why the long hours?
2:47 am

the workmen start at 7 am and work until 4 pm. And then hubby comes home and they work at it themselves until 10 pm.
2:48 am

oh for pete's sake!! you poor thing... hopefully by working like that they will get it all done quicker.
2:49 am
sprite
I really hope so. They started last Friday.
2:49 am
grannyrose
we have noise pollution laws here. no loud noise of any kind before 8am . but the 10pm is cut off time here as well. midnight on weekends.
2:50 am
sprite
it is about the same here. But for construction work, it may start at 7 am because that is when their workday starts here.
2:52 am
grannyrose
how many windows do they have?
2:53 am
sprite
quite a few. Around 35, I think.
2:55 am
grannyrose
dear God!! it just gets worse and worse. are they working on your side of their building first? is that why the noise is so bad?
2:56 am

10:00 am
72 Temple Owl
what do you do to clear it up?
10:00 am
Babs1
can you lift your arms? If so, lifting your arms like arms only jumping jacks can really open the lungs/heart area and then breathing may ease
10:00 am

I think I have to wait for summer
10:00 am

Lungs are clear but I cant lift one arm

Dr. sasid I might get sleepy. hahahah

type in your ailment on the site and you can see what people are using for home remedies...
10:06 am

I googled pleurisy on the NIH and Mayo Clinic sites and there's nothing to be done
10:06 am

those are more mainstream medical sites...just check out earthclinic.com

I'll try your site after dinner, babs

I'm not taking them now, either, as they didn't help
10:08 am
72 Temple Owl
up /7 cluepls?
10:08 am
MollyL
I really don't remember, a couple of weeks at least. A word about supplements, don't ever take any without consulting with your doctor. They can have adverse affects if you are taking other medication.
10:09 am
MollyL
Also, I would suggest that you quit reading medical web sites. Horrifying comments abound and there is usually a lot of bad advice there.

I missed that. I haven't watched SNL in years.. haven't found it to be very funny for a long time
11:07 am
MollyL
I don't watch it either. I just catch the clips that get recommended to me
11:08 am
MollyL
My favorite clips are Timberlake and Fallon. Those two should have their own comedy show.
11:08 am
rururocks
surprisingly Timberlake is pretty funny I agree
11:10 am
rururocks
My best friend's son was a waiter in NYC and Fallon came in all the time. He says Fallon is super nice and very fun and just a real person.. with no attitude. I like to hear stuff like that.
11:10 am
MollyL
I like to hear stuff like that too. And it doesn't surprise me about Fallon
11:14 am

10:09 pm
jmcnrick
what about the grands?
10:09 pm
Pinikula
...lots of new things to start the year off...1) a new faculty union (and all the new paperwork that must be developed as a result); 2) job search for a new faculty member (one retired); 3) our admissions (we're up this year by about 50% - the 2nd highest pool in the 9 years I've been there); 4) 2 visiting professors; 5) a reading series with 10 guests instead of the typical 6; etc., etc., etc.,
10:09 pm
Pinikula
the grands are doing well...in fact, there's another on the way (due in May)! :)
10:09 pm
jmcnrick

...it's a boy and they've not yet settled on a name :)
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
sorry i clearly got carried away
10:11 pm
Pinikula
<-- does not like unions (that are put into place without any initial paperwork, policy, etc.)
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
*puts sign under the desk*
10:11 pm
Pinikula
...and I'm among the only classification on campus that is NOT part of a union...
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
i like unions that grow out of the situtation so i think we are not so far apart
10:12 pm
jmcnrick
yes where i work they claim we are professionals when it helps them and not when it helps us. . . .
10:12 pm
Pinikula
exactly!
10:13 pm
jmcnrick
see there. . . hahaha
10:13 pm
Pinikula
<-- considered "administrative faculty" but not eligible for the faculty union (because it's for "academic faculty" only)
10:13 pm
jmcnrick
it was ever thus pini
10:14 pm
Pinikula
...so, basically, the work "fun" simply continues...
10:14 pm
Pinikula
...never ending.
10:15 pm
Pinikula
...but, then again, because I'm a glutton for punishment...
10:15 pm
Pinikula
...I'm volunteering on the weekends...
10:17 pm
jmcnrick
where? at the school?
10:17 pm
Pinikula
No...taxes for AARP
10:20 pm
jmcnrick
good for you. . .even though you are putting me out of work! ;-)
10:21 pm
Pinikula
trust me...I don't think I am out here...the volunteers here are limited...in fact, my dad was a volunteer, but retired last year, so I told them I'd take his place :)
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
actually i tell my clients i am happy if they do their own returns but recommend about every five years going to a professional to make sure they aren't missing anything
10:22 pm
Pinikula
agreed! :)
10:22 pm
jmcnrick
i am always a little shocked how easy a return clients want me to do. . . but i gotta eat
10:24 pm
Pinikula
I know what you mean...I do exactly what you say because, frankly, I can't afford to pay a professional place to do mine and give up the percentage taken (especially when I get the same result in my "test" before going to them to check)
10:27 pm
jmcnrick
and yet i have clients who "prepare" their returns and i find mistake after msitake. . .
10:28 pm
Pinikula
There's that, too...thus the periodic check up with the pros...sadly, my returns are so basic, it's pretty sad (in a good way). :)
10:28 pm
jmcnrick
well i do not doubt you get it right. . .
10:29 pm
jmcnrick
well i am more than 1/2 way and have nbt and nbs and i think that will have to be enough for me tonight. . .
10:30 pm
Pinikula
...so, other than all of that and your current adventure...how've you been?
10:30 pm
jmcnrick
i will turn off the light and watch the stars and listen to the waves. . .
10:30 pm
Pinikula
...absolutely...do enjoy your holiday! and listen to a wave or two for me! :)
10:31 pm
Pinikula
good to "see" you!!!
10:31 pm
jmcnrick
I have been working 10 days at the prep chef position of the legal world. . .paid the bills but not the soul. . .
