4:15 am

grannyrose

dianne, my 'wage' payments are to be reinstated, plus physio, hydro AND pain doctor to be all paid for ad infinitum.

4:16 am

4:34 am

sprite

hi ruby :) *hug* How are you?

4:34 am

rubyfoo

I was all a5 in here, trying to take my mind off my sore chest

4:35 am

sprite

*healing vibes to your chest*

4:36 am

rubyfoo

It is taking very ong to heal, not much better than 5 weeks ago. The only thing that helps is staying in the tub for an hour, but I am starting to look like a prune

4:36 am

sprite

better a prune than in more pain than is necessary

4:37 am

rubyfoo

with meds, I can keep the pain down to a 5 except when I change positions. Then, it's a 12

4:38 am

rubyfoo

time to go. I am happy we got to say "hello" as I haven't been in here much

4:38 am

sprite

chronic pain is such a tough thing to live with

4:39 am

sprite

take care, ruby

4:39 am

rubyfoo

4:40 am

rubyfoo

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:10 am

sprite

hey Liz :D

5:10 am

sprite

just read your email. *hugs* and good luck with all the busy times.

5:10 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite and hugs - back here to finish off my last 24 words.

5:10 am

Lizlin

Thought you'd gone already.

5:11 am

sprite

goooooo Liz! I am at 3/4 and not going fast

5:11 am

Lizlin

I got stuck and have listed and am now using a bit of extra help ;)

5:12 am

sprite

hehehe nothing wrong with that

5:12 am

Lizlin

Just found co 6 - 3 vowels at the end :(

5:14 am

sprite

lol yes

5:16 am

Lizlin

Finding I've missed a couple of very obvious words.

5:16 am

Lizlin

Are you still feeling rough?

5:16 am

sprite

I usually do.

5:17 am

sprite

no am feeling ok. Bit sleepy, lol... might go back to bed for another hour. No duties today except laundry.

5:17 am

Lizlin

That's good - hope someone else folds it!!

5:18 am

sprite

no they don't. But I don't mind, I fold straight off the line.

5:18 am

Lizlin

that's OK then.

5:18 am

Lizlin

Has the young one calmed a bit?

5:20 am

sprite

yeah he has. I have straightened him out and told him that if he cannot see he is aggressive and intimidating when he stands over someone and yells, he will have to learn to always keep a few paces distance.

5:20 am

Lizlin

That sounds like very good advice - personal space is really an important thing for someone to understand.

5:20 am

sprite

he then folded and agreed he had been being a pest. So... another episode behind us...

5:21 am

Lizlin

Glad it's over - hope it's a very long time before the next one.

5:21 am

sprite

yeah. Most of us have sensors for it and won't do it unknowingly. It seems he has trouble figuring it out.

5:21 am

sprite

from your mouth to God's ear, Liz!

5:22 am

Lizlin

LOL! I've met others who stand so close - even when not shouting, sometimes it's really off-putting.

5:23 am

sprite

it really is. I start feeling breathless and my heart starts racing when they do that. Nowadays I kindly ask them to take a step back, please.

5:23 am

Lizlin

Hasn't happened to me for a while - don't remember who it was - just that it irritated me!

5:23 am

sprite

I believe it!

5:24 am

Lizlin

Can't believe I'd missed the writing material - duh. Must've been tired.

5:25 am

gran

de 7/36 clue please

5:25 am

sprite

I don't have it yet either, I think. No fountain there... though the last part is.

5:26 am

Lizlin

I think I've only used that once. could be wrong though.

5:27 am

Lizlin

I just had the most irritating conversation with a ISP tech:( I have a DNS #105 error that has to do with router/proxy settings, preventing me from accessing particular site, and all this woman did was spout back pre-programmed canned macro responses and advise me to turn off all my browser security:(...grrrr!

8:02 am

crosshair

Sigh...ended up having to research it and fix it myself. I reset the router then put the browser set-up back to its default settings, and running Ccleaner twice. I often wonder why we pay them all the money we do for such crappy IT service

how goes the battle against evil, ruru?

10:55 am

rururocks

well.. my superhero costume is at the cleaners right now

10:55 am

jesdraggon

so you're fighting crime naked? bonus!

10:55 am

rururocks

well.. at least from my computer

10:56 am

jesdraggon

computer crime is an important evil to fight

10:59 am

jesdraggon

hmmph. seems like a waste of a q not to have any words start off it.

10:59 am

11:18 am

11:21 am

jesdraggon

do you tailor your clues for me? take the medical meaning if possible?

11:22 am

rururocks

well.. I tailor clues for everyone

11:22 am

rururocks

in your case you're easy to clue :D

11:23 am

jesdraggon

so kind. also the amount of brain space to keep track of everyone's needs is imp....hey, now, i've mostly grown out of being easy, what with getting married and all.

11:24 am

rururocks

<--back to easy

11:25 am

jesdraggon

oh, hey - have you heard of/watched the show Dollhouse? it's old and no longer broadcasting, but I just discovered it last week.

11:25 am

rururocks

nope.. I don't watch much tv to be honest

11:26 am

jesdraggon

yeah, me either. We don't actually have any kind of television receiver or cable provider - i was just looking for background noise via netflix

11:26 am

jesdraggon

it's weird and fascinating in a way that might appeal to you. basically, an organization called the Dollhouse has figured out how to download and re-write personalities.

11:26 am

rururocks

oh.. I watch a little sports and that's about it

11:27 am

jesdraggon

they keep a bunch of people (dolls) that they program for whatever task they are hired to get done.

11:27 am

rururocks

oh.. we see that here.. a lot of people here rewrite their personalities :D

11:28 am

hego

I'm actually a hot young blonde pole dancer.

11:28 am

jesdraggon

which is nominally ethical only because the dolls are all volunteers... but there's one who's gone crazy and is hunting the rest

11:28 am

rururocks

I knew that!!

11:28 am

hego

:D

11:28 am

You're so perceptive.

11:29 am

1:49 pm

only obscure. lol

2:13 pm

rururocks

kind of a crusty clue

2:15 pm

welki

hi ru - apoquel won't be on the market up here for another year or more. so it's back to ceflexin, benadryl, that HP diet and maybe more vanectyl if it flares up again

2:16 pm

welki

cefalexin

2:17 pm

welki

but thanks for the info, just the same. my vet will keep looking, in case it shows up early

2:18 pm

bichon

somebody have an itchy dog?

2:18 pm

welki

yep

2:18 pm

rururocks

cephalexin can cause long term problems however

2:19 pm

rururocks

sorry about the apoquel. maybe someday it will provide baxter some relief

2:21 pm

welki

just looked up the side effects - damned if you do, damned if you don't

2:22 pm

rururocks

well.. it's more than that welki

2:22 pm

welki

but we seem to be having some success with the salmon oil and vitamin e supplements (and the occasional egg and sardine don't seem to hurt either)

2:22 pm

rururocks

you eventually build up a stronger reaction to staph infections over time by pulsing on Keflex (cephalexin)

2:22 pm

welki

maybe my search wasn't that far reaching

2:22 pm

rururocks

fish oils are really helpful

2:23 pm

welki

oh, i see. yes, i understand. and he is on it for 3 weeks at a time, but only a couple of times a year

2:23 pm

rururocks

it's such a drag what we have to deal with..

2:24 pm

rururocks

later in life .. it will be harder for him to fight off staph if he's on Keflex a lot..

2:24 pm

welki

what's a drag is that, even though we try to help, the meds can wreak havoc in the long run

2:24 pm

welki

yes, but what are my options?

2:24 pm

rururocks

yeah.. but what choices do we have..exactly

2:25 pm

rururocks

bathing him once a week can help too

2:25 pm

rururocks

Saturdays are Dylan's bath days

2:25 pm

welki

if you use medicated shampoo, which one?

2:26 pm

rururocks

I use the aloe and oatmeal vet kem formula

2:26 pm

rururocks

and malakyte

2:26 pm

rururocks

that may not be spelled right though

2:27 pm

jesdraggon

ruru in the penalty box.... what goodies are hiding there today?

2:27 pm

jesdraggon

malaket shampoo?

2:27 pm

rururocks

the problem with the aloe shampoo is that you have to really rinse it out..it's hard to get out of the coat

2:27 pm

welki

web says the vet-kem aloe/oatmeal is a flea/tick shampoo

2:28 pm

rururocks

it's not a flea shampoo.. it's a soothing shampoo

2:28 pm

rururocks

it does help

2:28 pm

rururocks

malaket is correct.. thanks doc

2:28 pm

welki

i like the malaket idea - antibacterial, antifungal

2:29 pm

rururocks

yeah.. you rub it in and leave it and wash it out

2:29 pm

welki

thanks, jes :)

2:29 pm

rururocks

I leave it on for ten minutes

2:29 pm

jesdraggon

welcome :)

2:29 pm

rururocks

do you agree on the Keflex issue jes?

2:30 pm

jesdraggon

sorry, wasn't actually here... what's the issue?

2:30 pm

welki

(now to try to find suppliers in canada)

2:30 pm

rururocks

read below

2:32 pm

jesdraggon

not exactly - cephalexin doesn't affect the dog's immune system. if you use it at low doses or for short terms, what you can end up with is bacteria that are resistant to it.

2:34 pm

welki

one of my dogs is on it now - a golden, 1000mg twice a day for 21 days

2:35 pm

rururocks

I ended up with bacterial resistance for my last dog

2:36 pm

jesdraggon

you can, in theory, end up with the same from any antibiotic - it's not a cephalexin specific issue. that's one of my major objections to things like antibacterial hand soap

2:38 pm

jesdraggon

shouldn't use antibiotics for things other than bacterial infections... used to be used a lot as growth additives in feeds too.

2:39 pm

rururocks

i totally agree with that too

2:39 pm

jesdraggon

so I don't disagree that an individual treated repeatedly with an antibiotic may later have decreased response to same antibiotic later, but it's not that the dog is more susceptible, and using a different antibiotic should work.

2:40 pm

rururocks

that's not the case with my last dog.

2:41 pm

rururocks

he came down with a serious mrsa infection from long time use of anti-biotics

2:42 pm

jesdraggon

yeah... the problem with mrsa is that it's resistant to multiple antibiotics. slutty slutty bacteria trading resistance codons.

2:42 pm

rururocks

i have had Dylan on two anti biotics right now.. nursing him back to health

2:43 pm

reading back a bit on the talk of antibiotics. I watched a interesting show yesterday about how our days of effective antibiotics may be numbered and how the newest infections are "pan-drug resistant." The show was basicallt saing that we should enjoy our antibiotics while we can because they are the only class of drug we have at this time that is made useless the more we use them.

Good Evening Fellow Babblers. How are you tonight?

9:12 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Nef. I just finished. How are you?

9:12 pm

penquis

hi nef...

9:12 pm

Nef

I'm fine, Bug. We had our grandson overnight and I took him home a while ago, started here about 45 minutes ago

9:13 pm

Nef

Hi pen, how are you tonight?

9:13 pm

penquis

i finished earlier...

9:13 pm

Nef

YAY, pen!!!

9:14 pm

penquis

ty ty!

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

It must be nice to still see him but have him all the time. You both need time to get over withdrawal

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

Hi pen

9:14 pm

penquis

hi bugs...

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

Are you up to your armpits in snow, pen?

9:15 pm

penquis

yes... and could get 10-15 in. more in the next few days...hope they are wrong...

9:15 pm

crosshair

Grandchildren areva blessing in that you get allthe enjoymentvof inteacting with a energectic' inquisisative child, but still get to ship him or her home to mum and dad at the end ofthe day:-)

9:16 pm

Nef

I think this was the first time he stayed overnight (or maybe the second?) since they moved out. I miss him terribly

9:16 pm

crosshair

Ignore typos... am on tablet

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

Nef, I missed the part where he moved out. Is he living with Dad and are they managing well?

9:17 pm

Nef

hi crossy. We fed him the remnants of the ice cream cake from DH's b'day just before I took him home! ;-)

9:18 pm

crosshair

Lol i love pumping them full of sugar before sending them home

9:19 pm

Nef

Oh, Bugs, they (my son & grandson) moved out the week of Christmas. Unfortunately, his mother is now living there too (a 2 bedroom apartment!) because her living plans fell apart too about then.

9:20 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry Nef. I was hoping that she would be able to play a smaller part in his life. My DIL has the same condition and it is destroying her kids.

9:20 pm

grannyrose

ahem....good morn/afternoon/eve to all

9:21 pm

crosshair

Howdy (rose)

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

G'day granny! hope you are well

9:22 pm

grannyrose

howdy to you too crossy. g'day bugs. all is okay. sitting here with a goofy ear-to-ear grin.

9:22 pm

Nef

I keep trying to keep my mouth shut; but I definitely think that this is sick. SHe's bipolar and can't get a job; her own family is nuts too and my son is enabling her so she won't be hospitalized long term.

9:22 pm

Nef

Hi granny

9:22 pm

grannyrose

hi nef

9:23 pm

Nef

why the grin, granny? Good news I hope?

9:23 pm

penquis

hi...

9:24 pm

crosshair

Love tohear some good news, rose:-)

9:24 pm

grannyrose

thanx for asking...lol. heard from the medical panel re my workcover injury. they have overturned the last doctor's report....in my favour

9:24 pm

crosshair

Yaaa!

9:24 pm

grannyrose

workcover agent has nowhere to go, not even the supreme court. they have to pay up and say nothing.

9:25 pm

Nef

Woo Hoo granny! Does that mean that you'll get workers compensation?

9:25 pm

LeslieAnn

what does "workcover" mean? is that like workmans comp?

9:25 pm

crosshair

Then itbis done. Time to payup.

9:25 pm

Nef

What happened?

9:26 pm

grannyrose

yes, nef. restoration of fortnightly payments, physio, hydro AND pain doctor, plus travel expenses

9:26 pm

grannyrose

yes leslieann

9:26 pm

Nef

WOW!!

9:27 pm

LeslieAnn

well congrats, although sounds like something they should have done in the first place

9:27 pm

grannyrose

nef, someone washed the floor at work, no signage, i fell onto my total knee replacement knee, tore the medial colateral ligament. had to have a revision knee done.

9:27 pm

Bugsaw

Such terrific news Granny! I hope you will soon be doing the Highland Fling without any pain

9:28 pm

penquis

happy for you, rose...

9:28 pm

grannyrose

bugs, fingers crossed, hin. i am so hoping the pain doc can help me.

9:28 pm

Dorens

<---hopes for fling.. with or without a highland

9:28 pm

grannyrose

thanx dear pen.

9:28 pm

Nef

Oh, granny! How awful! How long have you been out?

9:28 pm

grannyrose

lol, dorens...

9:29 pm

LeslieAnn

granny, my mom had a similar incident, except she was carrying a cash register she dropped on her wrist :/

9:29 pm

grannyrose

nef, work sacked me last august when i couldn't return to my normal hours and duties.

9:29 pm

grannyrose

ouch, leslie

9:30 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah, had to have all sorts of metal put in there

9:31 pm

Nef

Are you able to work anywhere at all, granny? Or forced retirement?

9:31 pm

grannyrose

short story, nerve in knee was damaged by second lot of surgery. not the surgeon's fault. can happen to anyone. workcover would not pay for pain doc to treat it.

9:32 pm

grannyrose

nef, at the moment on disability pension. the doc report which put me out of work says i was unemployable due to the other medical things. which was totally untrue of course.

9:34 pm

Nef

I can sympathize with you on that. My 2nd ankle surgery damaged a nerve in my foot and (8 years later) I still can't be on my foot over 2 hours at a stretch without severe pain from it (but I don't have anything for it; I get off my feet).

9:35 pm

Nef

A knee would be so much worse because of how tricky knees are.

9:35 pm

grannyrose

i hear you nef. poor thing. i too have two lots of ankle surgery on same ankle. and i too have to be very careful how long i am upright on it.

9:37 pm

crosshair

I also have same thing....three herniated disks i my neck. It is a matter of taking things in shorts bursts thsn medication or damaging surgry

9:37 pm

Nef

Mine was a workplace injury too, but because it was a foot, I could do desk work; so no disability pension.

9:37 pm

grannyrose

i apologise to nef and bugs for butting in. too sad about son and grandson still having his mom with them.

9:38 pm

Nef

No problem, granny. Chog always ebbs & flows from 1 topic to another.

9:39 pm

grannyrose

all i can say nef is that your son is a big man in every way it counts. but i hope not to grandson's detriment.

9:39 pm

Nef

Okay, my crazy mind says that Babblers are all physical wrecks it seems! :-)

9:40 pm

grannyrose

that's what makes this site swing. we each understand what another is going through. best support group i have ever seen.

9:40 pm

Nef

My son has a very tender heart. Then again; that's probably why he got mixed up with her in the first place.

9:42 pm

Nef

Sometimes it's support group here, sometimes I feel like it's a family (& that's why there are sometimes disagreements too)

9:42 pm

crosshair

Babble is unique in the suppot and help that is on hand

9:43 pm

rururocks

not a physical wreck here

9:43 pm

Nef

I think so too, crossy.

9:44 pm

Nef

No, not completely one yet ruru. (How is YOUR knee lately? ;-)

9:45 pm

grannyrose

i think ruru that is a moot point. i would love to lead the debate on that....lol

9:47 pm

rururocks

I don't have to get on my knees anymore.. unless I want to

9:47 pm

Nef

(rolling my eyes on THAT comment, ruru!)

9:48 pm

crosshair

Think i shall let that one pass....

9:49 pm

grannyrose

i don't know...ruru on his knees....that would be a sight to see......

9:49 pm

penquis

*thinking that i am glad i am lurking*....

9:50 pm

I muzt bid you all a good niht. Sleep well my friends, and dream of a better toorrow...

...just sayin'...

9:53 pm

grannyrose

sweet dreams crossy

10:12 pm

Nef

Well, on this grid, I'm going to list before halfway I guess. I swear, I don't see any words anymore in this letter jumble!

10:13 pm

penquis

i think I listed at 45....the end was tough....

10:15 pm

Nef

I have 88 words left; so close to half; but nothing here. (there are days when I wonder why I play this game because I'm so thick-headed!)

10:16 pm

penquis

we all feel that way sometimes....

10:17 pm

Nef

thanks, pen. That makes me feel better! :-)

10:17 pm

penquis

good!

10:17 pm

penquis

just watched the weather forecast...expecting 6-12 in. of snow over the next couple of days....ugh....

10:18 pm

Nef

Are you in the northern part of the state or southern, pen?

10:19 pm

penquis

kind of eastern....midcoast....

10:20 pm

Nef

How much have you had so far this winter? (We're getting very little snow this year; but last year was horrid for us)

10:21 pm

penquis

not sure...perhaps close to 4 feet....

10:22 pm

penquis

had an early storm....then nothing much for 2 months....and then bam....i think there have been 4 significant snowfalls in the last two weeks or so...

10:22 pm

Nef

WOW! And you guys aren't used to dealing with that amount; are you?

10:22 pm

Nef

Do you have the equipment and ability to move that much?

10:23 pm

penquis

well everyone who lives in maine is used to dealing with snow....but midcoast usually doesn't get this much....

10:23 pm

penquis

oh yeah we have the equipment....

10:23 pm

penquis

it did not come all at once...

10:23 pm

Nef

oh, that's good.

10:24 pm

penquis

biggest problem now is where to put the plowed snow...

10:25 pm

Nef

Yeah, that's another thing I was wondering about

10:26 pm

penquis

the snowbanks are pretty high....makes it hard to exit a driveway or small street....can't see what's coming....

10:28 pm

penquis

thinking of going out to move my car tonight....supposed to start snowing around 4 am....

10:28 pm

Nef

Yeah, we had that problem last year. The snowbanks at the end of our driveway were probably 6 feet; My 4 foot high chain link fence was *maybe* 6 inches above the snow in spots, etc. (thank goodness my dog didn't venture out into the yard; he was only 11 lbs, but if he would have wanted to go, that fence wouldn't have kept hime in

10:29 pm

penquis

ah....same problem here....and it's been so cold that nothing will melt for a while....

10:30 pm

Nef

That sounds like our winter last year. It was winter almost all through April too I think.

10:32 pm

penquis

glad i don't have to go anywhere tomorrow....have an exercise class Monday, but i may skip it...

10:33 pm

Nef

LOL! If you have to keep shoveling, who needs a class (other than socialization reasons)

10:34 pm

penquis

true....but i would rather stretch and do balance exercises than shovel...have to be careful....tendonitis in my right forearm...

10:35 pm

Nef

Oh, I know. It's like I'd rather do anything else but shovel too

10:35 pm

penquis

i don't mind it as much as cleaning off the car, especially if i have to scrape....

10:38 pm

Nef

When I do have to shovel; I always use a shovel with a bent "ergonomic" handle because it's easier to use

10:39 pm

penquis

mine is just a shovel but it's very lightweight...

10:40 pm

Nef

and *my* snow scraper for the car has a telescoping handle so it reaches up to 3 feet. Makes that whole job easier too (even scraping off the windows isn't too bad when you have a big (but light) snow scraper

10:41 pm

penquis

yes, mine has a handle like that, too....

10:42 pm

Nef

DH gave it to me about 2 years ago; last year we gave 1 to each of our kids for Christmas. They were just so easy to use

10:43 pm

penquis

yes, they are better than the ones with ordinary handles...

10:44 pm

Nef

Yeah, my DH's scaler is one of those hard plastic ones, & he will grab mine if I'm not using it first

10:47 pm

penquis

i am knitting a scarf right now....it's for an upstairs neighbor who usually shovels the walk....

10:52 pm

Nef

Nice, pen. :-)

11:00 pm

penquis

well i am off to move my car and then to bed....g'nite nef...
