morning all

3:37 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite and hugs. How did it go yesterday?

3:37 am

sprite

hi Liz *hugs* for you both!

3:39 am

sprite

ugh, it was tough. It started with a fight with son, then progressed to (what are the odds!) meeting my mother in the waiting room. But the treatment itself was doable. They were very kind, and Rob held my feet to give me comfort and that helped to keep me grounded.

3:40 am

sprite

must go back though, in half a year, to have my old fillings removed and replaced. Dentist says they are too old, and amalgame, and they are leaking mercury ions in my blood. Which is poison.

3:41 am

Lizlin

Lovely of Rob. Knew he'd be there for you. 6 months is also doable. Rob will be there again. Better than mercury in you!

3:42 am

Lizlin

Weird that your mother was there at the same time as you!

3:42 am

sprite

yeah, that is true. I have promised to go and get it done. Lol, the dentist said he had 'cured' several people from pain in their knees, just by replacing their fillings. Now that sounds good to me!

3:43 am

Lizlin

Sounds very good if a little odd

3:43 am

sprite

wasn't it just! And it is the second time this happened. Of all the patients he has... ugh.

3:44 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} dear sprite, {{hugs}} liz girl

3:44 am

Lizlin

What did you think of the name of those falls?

3:44 am

sprite

yeah it seems that mercury poisoning can cause joint pains.

3:44 am

Lizlin

Hugs Rose

3:44 am

grannyrose

i laughed and laughed, liz

3:45 am

sprite

oh and Liz... my darling mother... she asked: and you, Cass, do you still have your full health?
So I reminded her I haven't had that for over 20 years. Then she asked if it was caused by my being overweight. I told her no. And then she said: Well, as long as you have your health.

3:45 am

Lizlin

Me too! And hubby, when I told him.

3:45 am

sprite

I laughed so hard, Liz, at your email.

3:46 am

Lizlin

Ignore it, sprite! What else can you do?

3:47 am

sprite

yep, that is the only thing. I did. Just looked away and focused on breathing. Well, and I thought: just what I need, just before the dentist.

3:47 am

sprite

hello my dear rose *hugs*

3:48 am

Lizlin

Took your mind off the dentist I'd think and of course Rob was there to soothe you!

3:48 am

sprite

lol, Liz...

3:53 am

grannyrose

i think you are so brave sprite. btw, did you tell liz what i said about the dentist? maybe you try the same trick with mother but use a nipple gripple...

3:54 am

Lizlin

Intrigued

3:54 am

sprite

am not getting within a mile from her nipples, lol. No thanks. I have seen her twice in a month's time now, I think it is enough for another year. Even Rob said she never has a kind word for me at all.

3:55 am

sprite

rose suggested I would grab the dentist by the balls, batt my eyes at him and say: "We aren't going to hurt eachother now, are we?"

3:55 am

Lizlin

Her problem not yours!

3:55 am

grannyrose

some people just never should have been a parent...but without her, we wouldn't have you, and you are infinitely precious.

3:56 am

Lizlin

So true Rose

3:56 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet of you to say so. Thanks.

3:57 am

sprite

well, at least I have grown enough to see it as a funny story to tell, and not lose any sleep over it anymore.

3:58 am

Lizlin

Drunken yobs around tonight :(

3:58 am

sprite

ah darn it, Liz! Throw some sheets over your head and scare them off your beach!

3:59 am

grannyrose

not nice liz. you are inside for the night, yes? safe ?

3:59 am

Lizlin

Or maybe become a Tudor and chuck stuff outside!

3:59 am

sprite

lol :D

4:00 am

Lizlin

Yes Rose- it's just singing

4:00 am

sprite

or what they consider singing. At least it isn't fighting... but still, very unpleasant.

4:00 am

Lizlin

And that's annoying but they'll shut up sometime.

4:02 am

sprite

how was your dinner, rose?

4:02 am

grannyrose

yummy of course. butter chicken and wild rice.

4:03 am

sprite

oooo sounds good. And what for veggies?

4:03 am

grannyrose

zucchini and broccoli cut up very small and stirred through the rice.

4:04 am

Lizlin

Love wild rice but it's so expensive here compared to England.

4:04 am

sprite

lovely. Good combination there.

4:04 am

Lizlin

Sounds yummy.

4:04 am

sprite

here as well, Liz.

4:05 am

sprite

rose, sweetie, did you get my email yesterday? About the dentist visit and all? I noticed you didn't react to any of it in your email, set me wondering if you got it at all?

4:07 am

sprite

*pictures rose going over all yesterday's emails*

4:08 am

Lizlin

Lol

4:09 am

grannyrose

sorry love, yes i did. have sent a second one following a discussion with don.

4:10 am

sprite

awesome darling, as long as you got it. Let me check for your second email.

4:11 am

sprite

ah, lovely! That will work just fine.

4:11 am

Lizlin

Now pictures sprite going over emails

4:11 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

4:11 am

sprite

hahahaha Liz!

4:12 am

sprite

that righthand D is totally annoying. Found 5/7 and have run out of ideas, lol. Will leave it for now.

4:12 am

Lizlin

Phantoms - parasail and matador

4:12 am

sprite

oooo nice ones!

4:13 am

Lizlin

I've all of them. Smug!

4:13 am

sprite

then you have a right to be smug!

4:13 am

Lizlin

Still missing 35 others

4:13 am

sprite

am down to 50 left here

4:14 am

Lizlin

I probably won't finish. So short of time at the moment. Lol

4:15 am

grannyrose

now i wonder why?? liz ??

4:15 am

sprite

lol a luxury problem :) Is that at all an english saying?

4:15 am

sprite

lol rose!

4:15 am

Lizlin

:)

4:15 am

grannyrose

tell peter to st4 his heavy breathing.

4:16 am

grannyrose

liz is gonna get lucky, liz is gonna get lucky.

4:16 am

Lizlin

Very true right now!

4:16 am

sprite

I am pretty sure Liz will know it when P is breathing that heavily.

4:16 am

Lizlin

No! He's out for the count.

4:17 am

sprite

gently wake him up, start below the waistline... *smiles innocently*

4:17 am

grannyrose

it's amazing isn't it? how liz can multitask?

4:17 am

sprite

she is a miracle. I couldn't chat and um... breathe heavily... at the same time.

4:18 am

Lizlin

Loll! He's concentraed a lot today and true rose - it's amazing what I ca do,

4:18 am

Lizlin

Typing is a problem though!

4:19 am

sprite

you are forgiven. It must be hard to aim those fingers.

4:19 am

grannyrose

it's the up and down, and the ins and outs, liz

4:19 am

Lizlin

Depends where.

4:19 am

sprite

easy on bodyparts, hard on keys

4:20 am

Lizlin

Lol

4:20 am

grannyrose

roflol....

4:21 am

sprite

lol, I just realise... some babblers... I won't name names... could easily cut and paste parts of this conversation in their pages-long emails and use it to prove I am telling Liz off for making typos :D

4:22 am

Lizlin

Sigh! Again notmy problem nor yours. If they've nothing better to do ...

4:22 am

grannyrose

pfffft sprite....

4:23 am

sprite

*giggles* Ikr. Just sayin'. Some of those rumours going round are just funny, right?

4:24 am

Lizlin

:)

4:25 am

sprite

found another of those pesky Ds. One more.

4:25 am

Lizlin

Have Di 7. Missing?

4:25 am

sprite

yessss righthand D dismembered!

4:26 am

Lizlin

WTG!

4:26 am

sprite

no, I was missing the unweapon one.

4:26 am

Lizlin

No, what am I missing.

4:27 am

sprite

oh Liz, I found myself a new fun series! About a lovely lady with a big mouth, an even bigger heart and she is a werewolf. Who hosts a radio show. Want me to drop it in our box?

4:28 am

Lizlin

That'd be wonderful

4:28 am

sprite

oh, ok, you were asking for 7s. Sorry to be so dense. I have di7 and St7

4:28 am

sprite

will do!

4:28 am

Lizlin

Will look for the st 7.

4:28 am

grannyrose

and ra7

4:28 am

Lizlin

Reading about Alberich now.

4:29 am

sprite

thanks rose :)

4:30 am

sprite

he is such a beautiful man, that Alberich

4:31 am

Lizlin

Not far in yet. Just become apprentice.

4:31 am

sprite

ah :) All the soul-searching agony still to come.

4:31 am

Lizlin

The oath series didn't grab me so much. It was too bitty.

4:32 am

Lizlin

I liked the characters though but wanted more cohesion.

4:32 am

sprite

I kinda like them myself. But I understand what you mean.

4:33 am

sprite

Liz, can I remove the other series from our dropbox?

4:33 am

Lizlin

Yes, no problem.

4:33 am

sprite

ok :)

4:34 am

Lizlin

Also no hurry with the new series.

4:34 am

Lizlin

Still got loads to read.

4:36 am

sprite

hehehe already dropped. You won't have to get bored for awhile.

4:36 am

Lizlin

Thanks.

4:37 am

sprite

no trouble at all :) Am happy to share.

4:37 am

Lizlin

I'll email you when I've downloaded them - probably not til next week!

4:38 am

sprite

whenever you have time, Liz, I know you are busy. They can sit there for months, it is all good :)

4:39 am

sprite

I found Dolly!

4:39 am

Lizlin

Did we scare Rose off?

4:39 am

grannyrose

nope, sitting quietly in the background.

4:39 am

Lizlin

Yes I found her too and Darla's almost here again.

4:40 am

Lizlin

Good glad you're still here's.

4:40 am

sprite

*throws arm around rose and drags her back to the front*

4:40 am

sprite

that sneaky darla lady dog is pretending to be a phantom!

4:40 am

Lizlin

Lol

4:43 am

grannyrose

* sigh * don't you love a satisfying pee?

4:44 am

sprite

btw, rose, you having to undergo even more medical exams, that totally sucks! I hope you hear from your lawyer soon. And yes, a good pee is liberating, lol.

4:44 am

Lizlin

More exams? Why?

4:46 am

grannyrose

workcover agent want a psychiatric evaluation of me. could save them a lot of money...i am nuts...period

4:46 am

Lizlin

Duh!

4:47 am

grannyrose

also, because the medical panel did not address whether i was able to work, they want another IME to overturn their previous doctor's report which said i wasn't.

4:47 am

sprite

workcover still trying to get out of having to pay. The asses.

4:47 am

sprite

I hope your lawyer will be able to put a stop to this. This is harassment.

4:48 am

grannyrose

so i am going to hand this new doc the printout of my medical/surgical history, smile sweetly and ask...am i employable?

4:48 am

Lizlin

Down to 20. Enough for this evening. Time for me to go. Hugs to you both.

4:48 am

sprite

another idea: let the previous panel add a few lines to their report, saying "and this means she is not able to work".

4:49 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams liz. love to peter. xoxox

4:49 am

sprite

night night Liz, I hope the drunks have quieted down,. Sleep well and hugs for you both.

4:50 am

grannyrose

i cannot work physically...how about medically. no sane employer will hire me because of all the things i have wrong with me.

4:51 am

sprite

there is nothing wrong with your psyche, lol. Just the body is failing. They must stop their delaying tactics and just man up and pay. I really really hope your lawyer will be able to stop them.

4:51 am

grannyrose

the revision knee was the 6th lot of workcover related surgeries.

4:52 am

grannyrose

nobody is going to hire me...my body is breaking down. even our social services says i am now disabled.

4:52 am

sprite

yes sweetie, once they are out of procedures, they will have to pay lots to you and they do everything to keep that from happening. As I said, it is up to your lawyer now. Some judge should be able to say they are harassing you and it should stop here and now.

4:54 am

grannyrose

anyway, as i said, i am fortunate that i am NOT dependent on their money. i can wait them out.

4:54 am

sprite

oh and remember, rose... when telling workcover doctors about your injuries and how they affect your life and functioning... add 50%, because they automatically detract at least that much from whatever you tell them... since they are used to fakers.

4:55 am

sprite

yes, you are lucky that way, rose, and I am ever so glad. Their delaying tactics would drive most people to despair and willing to accept any token payment just to be able to eat and pay their rent.

4:56 am

grannyrose

honey, this next exam is going to be on my medical issues only. the physical issues have been solved with the medical panel's decision. as i said, workcover have nowhere else to go with that decision.

4:56 am

sprite

fireflies

4:56 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:57 am

sprite

darling, your medical issues have been mapped out by several doctors now. Even that should not have to happen anymore. They must stop this.

4:57 am

grannyrose

so agree, sprite.

4:57 am

sprite

I am hoping for your lawyer to step up to the mark.

4:58 am

grannyrose

oh he will. have no doubt!

4:58 am

sprite

lovely! Please keep me up to date. I am gonna throw some heavy positive vibes to this whole process!

4:59 am

grannyrose

thanx sweetie

5:03 am

sprite

*hugs rose* you are always in my prayers :) I swear, when I say: "Ok, let's talk about rose a little more today" I hear God sigh: "Again? Don't you think I got the freakin' message, Cass?"

5:04 am

grannyrose

col....yeah, he does an eye-roll when i tune in too.

5:04 am

sprite

*giggles*

5:06 am

sprite

oh you have to read The Shack, rose. You will love it.

5:07 am

grannyrose

who wrote it, sprite?

5:07 am

sprite

William P. Young

5:07 am

grannyrose

oh and sprite. i did it. did only one chore today. washing still to be done.

5:08 am

sprite

I wish you had an e-reader. I'd send you the file right away.

5:08 am

grannyrose

nah...will go to the library.

5:08 am

sprite

wooooot rose! You said you would and you did it. You are such a hero. Well done! It is tough, pacing ourselves. Good job :)

5:09 am

sprite

washing for tomorrow. You start a load, let Don hang it up. The day after is for taking it down and folding/ironing it.

5:11 am

sprite

The Shack is about this man who lost his daughter to a kidnapper. And ever since has been so incredibly mad at God for letting that happen. And then he receives a letter from God, inviting him back to the shack where the last signs of his daughter were found.

5:11 am

grannyrose

yup. my plan exactly.

5:11 am

grannyrose

sounds like a great read.

5:12 am

sprite

awesome :) I truly admire you for learning to taking it slower, rose. It is such a change from how you used to do things. And it is tough to change it. But it is truly worth it, isn't it?

5:12 am

sprite

it is a great read. Well written, and so easy to recognise yourself in the man and his anger and questions. And you will love God.

5:12 am

grannyrose

yes it is honey. it's so difficult to slow down...

5:12 am

sprite

can't say more without spoiling it for you, so I won't.

5:13 am

grannyrose

omg, just realised the time. if i don't take my meds soonish i will be hanging from the light-shades at 1am....

5:14 am

sprite

yes it is. We are both overachievers, have been all our lives. Slowing down to what our bodies and minds can handle means not just slowing down to 'normal' speed and achievements, but way way lower than that. Makes us wanna spit and shout and throw tantrums.

5:15 am

sprite

lolllll oh I wish I could see that :) No I don't. Take your meds, and start getting ready for bed. *hugs* my darling.

5:15 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} to you sweetheart

5:16 am

sprite

sleep well, dream even better and I hope tomorrow will find you in less pain.

5:16 am

sprite

and to you all out there lurking ;) A blessed day and a peaceful night.

5:16 am

5:21 am

xoxox my dearest sprite. i hope your day is kind to you.

5:21 am

grannyrose

g'day bo

5:52 am

sukee

Goo dmonring.

5:52 am

sukee

Good morning that is :)

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sukee

5:53 am

sukee

Hi scrabs.

5:54 am

sukee

How are things?

6:01 am

bojazz

A chuckle for you Yankees. We had 1-2 inches of snow last night (S. Carolina) and the upstate is virtually shut down...

6:01 am

sukee

A mere sprinkle :)

6:02 am

bojazz

It will be gone by 4 p.m. if the forecast holds true...

6:03 am

sukee

I wish our snow would go away, it won't be above 0 for a while

6:05 am

grannyrose

hey ya sukee and scrabs

6:05 am

sukee

Hi Rose.

6:06 am

grannyrose

nice to see you dear

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Haha, bojazz. We have gotten over 145 inches of snow so far this winter.

6:06 am

sukee

Yes, I've missed you in passing the past few days.

6:06 am

bojazz

I remember heavy snowfalls from my youth in Vermont...

6:07 am

grannyrose

sukee, how are you doing, dear?

6:07 am

sukee

I'm doing great, getting a bit stir crazy since it's been too cold and I haven't been out.

6:07 am

sukee

How are you, are you managing to stay cool?

6:09 am

grannyrose

sort of...the temps are dropping a little, which is a good sign, but they are predicting a warm, dry winter. not a good sign.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

ust wanted to say hello. I can't each my doctor and have run out of pain meds

6:09 am

sukee

Hi Ruby

6:09 am

rubyfoo

just* reach* even my fingers aren't working right

6:10 am

bojazz

hope that problem resolves itself for you ruby...

6:10 am

rubyfoo

and now they're predicting snow for the next couple of days

6:10 am

grannyrose

awww ruby...not good my darling...try heat packs until you can reach your doc.

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I shouldn't complain because, compared to the US, we've had very little

6:10 am

grannyrose

moist heat packs

6:11 am

sukee

If it's too much for you, it is worth complaining about :)

6:11 am

grannyrose

sukee, ruby is in so much pain....it really is out of the ordinary.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

the dogs listen, but only lick me in response (not so bad, I guess)

6:12 am

grannyrose

ruby, is there not a locum doctor available?

6:13 am

rubyfoo

the is! just too busy

6:13 am

rubyfoo

locum? do you mean local?

6:13 am

grannyrose

at least put yourself on the 'to call list'.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

and the pharmacy won't refill the prescriptions; I guess there are a lot of 70 yr old junkies around!

6:14 am

sukee

I don't understand some doctors. A friend in the US almost ran out of insulin and couldn't get her doctor to call it into the pharmacist.

6:14 am

grannyrose

locum...a doctor who will visit you at home when your usual doctor is unavailable.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

she often comes to the house, but as she is just back from her 2-week holiday, I guess she's just too busy

6:16 am

sukee

Can't you tell a secretary or receptionist how much pain you are in? I know it's probably the same here that they won't let you talk to the doctor on the phone.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

exactly, sukee, and te secretary says "just come to the office because she's busy treatin people with flu". Sure, I'm really going to sit in her tiny waiting room with a bunch of communicably sick people

6:17 am

grannyrose

ruby...you have a history of needing analgesia. any doctor can write up a prescription for your pain meds.

6:17 am

sukee

But, I'm sure you have tried everything. I'm sorry you are in such pain.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Thank you all for listening to my whining. I have to go and lie down

6:18 am

grannyrose

ruby, my dear...it is after 11pm here. i have to fall into bed. please try the heat packs. xoxox

6:18 am

sukee

Take care.

6:18 am

sukee

Have a good night Rose

6:19 am

rubyfoo

will do *woof*

6:19 am

sukee

I'm taking a break too, almost halfway.

6:37 am

crosshair

Good morning, everyone:)

6:38 am

crosshair

For those who have been following my educational escapade and heard me rant the other day about time limitations on the University prerequisite English final exam, I go the mark back yesterday... 92%...Yaaaa!

6:43 am

Trifioso

huzzah for crossy!!!! And good morning friends!

6:45 am

crosshair

howdy trif:) Although, I am still not sure of the final mark for the class itself. I went into the exam with an 88%, the exam itself is worth 30% of the total mark, and as I said I got 92% on the test itself. I do not know exactly what that all boils down to. Math is not my thing:)

6:45 am

JBV

hey, crossy! glad to hear your good news - why are we not surprised???

6:45 am

JBV

good morning all

6:46 am

crosshair

Ty jvb. I am quite please with it all. it has been a long year and a half

6:46 am

crosshair

pleased

6:47 am

JBV

I understand completely - I am also enjoying my classes at the University - this is my fourth year of FREE !!!!! classes as Senior Citizen -

6:48 am

JBV

no tuition, no credit, but a lot of learning

6:48 am

crosshair

Yaaa!

6:48 am

Trifioso

wow, jbv, what uni does that?

6:49 am

JBV

hi Trif - Rutgers - it's a great program

6:49 am

crosshair

it is good to keep the mind working. Plus, there is nothing finer than busting the grading curve in your class and having all those kids look at you with curiosity:)

6:49 am

JBV

I get a parking sticker (free parking) and a library card

6:49 am

JBV

well I do not get a grade because I am not officialy on the register (status as Guest) but I do all the assignments

6:50 am

crosshair

Well that is fine as well. What are you taking JBV?

6:50 am

JBV

last night I did an oral presentation and received a round of applause from my fellow students - MA and PHD candidates

6:50 am

Trifioso

that is great jbv - what a cool uni to do that

6:51 am

JBV

all my courses avhe been int he Italian Department - I started with level 300 courses (juniors and seniors) to polish up my spoken Itailan, and now I'm in graduate level courses -

6:51 am

JBV

well we pay enough in taxes, so I think it's a fair exchange

6:51 am

crosshair

Now I know who to take to Italy with me:)

6:52 am

Trifioso

Me! Me!

6:52 am

JBV

Babble meet up in Rome!

6:53 am

JBV

how many courses are you taking crossy?

6:57 am

crosshair

I took 7 course in all, including a workplace Law class, computers, 4 different English classes, including a writers craft course, and 1 math class

6:57 am

JBV

but right now - how many this semester?

6:57 am

crosshair

I am all done now:(

6:58 am

JBV

oh!

6:58 am

JBV

great!

6:58 am

crosshair

I took just the one ENG4U and I have been doing this one, and only this one since last September. it was my last.

6:58 am

JBV

fantastic

7:00 am

crosshair

Had 20 assignments and three books: Othello, Snow Falling on Cedars, and The Scarlet letter

7:00 am

JBV

strange combination

7:00 am

JBV

I liked Snow Falling on Cedars

7:00 am

JBV

there's a movie too, hav eyou seen it?

7:01 am

crosshair

Funny enough I had a great time with othello, but now loathe Nathaniel Hawthorne!

7:01 am

JBV

I agree - sometimes too much analysis ruins the effect

7:01 am

JBV

we read it in high school, which is also a mistake- too young to really get it

7:02 am

crosshair

No, I have not seen the movie. I made a point of not seeing any movie dealing with any of the three books .

7:02 am

JBV

if I remember correctly, it's a pretty good adaptation

7:02 am

crosshair

I did not want to cloud my mental picture of the characters until I was done the course

7:03 am

Anniebrook

snow falling on cedars was a great book

7:05 am

crosshair

Must be off as I am tutoring today. tc all and happy babbling!

7:06 am

JBV

hi Annie - how are things in Brooklyn today? grey and icy like everywhere else I guess

7:07 am

Anniebrook

Hi JBV, rough winter here. yes, grey and icy. How are things in NJ?

7:07 am

JBV

yes, just tired of it all - the worst is having to clear the driveway just to get the cars out

7:08 am

Trifioso

I agree, this winter has been particularly punishing. the ice dams here are causing real property damage

7:08 am

JBV

yes, and my greatest fear is when the ice and snow build up substantially, then the temperature rises dramatically for a quick thaw - flooding danger

7:08 am

Anniebrook

I agree. I have a parking spot and no sooner is it cleared, it snows again. More snow predicted today. Trif, you have had it especially bad.

7:09 am

JBV

it happened to us about 12 years ago, and e ach year I live through the fear

7:09 am

JBV

so far we've been lucky- slow melting

7:10 am

Anniebrook

We had the surge (super storm sandy). I lost my car then. I understand the fear.

7:10 am

Trifioso

its going to snow again today. tra la

7:10 am

JBV

omg - didnt' know that ANnie - Sandy was a living nightmare for many

7:11 am

JBV

I shouldn't complain, for us, no damage to the house, only 9 days without power

7:11 am

Trifioso

nothing I can do about it, just have to ride it out

7:11 am

JBV

I'd rather forget it

7:11 am

Trifioso

spring WILL come...this WILL melt

7:11 am

MollyL

Snowing already here, tra la la.

7:11 am

JBV

melt slowly.....

7:12 am

JBV

I did lose half a tree in my front yard, but it only nicked the garage and landed on the lawn

7:12 am

Anniebrook

We lost power, water, etc. I had to leave and stay with my daughter in CT for 14 days. They are now building an electrical substation for each building. We walked down 24 floors. Nightmare.

7:12 am

JBV

no damage except the cost of having it removed!

7:12 am

Trifioso

my home phone shorted out about a week ago, and naught seems to be able to be done to fix it. The strange thing is that we have barely even missed it. Im toying with the idea of giving it up altogether.

7:13 am

JBV

interesting, Trif - I think about that everytime I pay the phone bill

7:13 am

JBV

cell and landline -

7:13 am

MollyL

Every time I see an aerial shot of New York, I am amazed that so much was built on such a small piece of land

7:13 am

Trifioso

exactly. I have used my cell all week. The only people that call the landline are looking for money/donations/trying to sell me something. why bother?

7:14 am

JBV

that's so true

7:14 am

JBV

same here

7:16 am

Trifioso

bell is going to ring....see you kiddos

7:16 am

MollyL

That is why I always let the machine pick up my land line. I only grab it if it's someone I want to talk to.

7:16 am

Anniebrook

going out for breakfast, see you all later

7:17 am

JBV

I do that too, Molly - so we're paying for an ansewring machine : )

7:17 am

JBV

bye Annie, bye Trif

7:19 am

MollyL

We don't get good cell phone reception in the house, which is the only reason I keep the land line.

7:19 am

JBV

and mine is connected to the alarm system -

7:20 am

car.eeyore

'Mornin'

7:21 am

JBV

Hi car

7:22 am

MollyL

Mine is connected to my security system too, but there is a work around for that if you give up the land line.

7:22 am

JBV

ok, I'll have to look into it

7:24 am

zoozzoom

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

not pointless at all!! :-)

7:39 am

car.eeyore

never!

7:40 am

zoozzoom

Of course it was not pointless..Car & Une found it helpful!

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

((Molly)) Don't be hard on yourself :-)

7:41 am

7:44 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow already there..Excellent!

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

it amazes me how many beautiful setters end up in shelters

7:45 am

bichon

If you live in CT you cannot import a rescue dog

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

apparently they're purchased for hunting, then are freaked out by gunfire!

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

yes i know, bichon

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

i remember when they passed the CT law

7:45 am

zoozzoom

Yes the sad reality is humans love the animals when they are puppies but do not look into how much work they are when they grow up.

7:46 am

bichon

This was a law created by CT Vets

7:46 am

Uneaixoise

i believe the CT law was passed because there were unvetted dogs being brought into the state

7:46 am

Uneaixoise

not the case at all re the the dogs

7:46 am

dan2bit

good morning all!

7:46 am

car.eeyore

Personally, I think puppies are more work! I'm so happy Archer has grown up!

7:46 am

bichon

Yes, it was supported by the CT Vets

7:46 am

zoozzoom

Well that answers my next question!

7:47 am

Uneaixoise

not the case at all re the dogs I help transport

7:47 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Dan2bit :-)

7:47 am

bichon

I foster Bichons and I cannot take one from out of state

7:47 am

Hiya, Nan!

12:18 pm

cybernan

just been reading the chat --- what is a trx class?

12:19 pm

cybernan

*hoping to find a way to lose some weight here

12:28 pm

MollyL

TRX is a suspension exercise system. You strap yourself to elastic like straps hung from the ceiling and stretch accordingly. More of the stuff in gyms for people who are obsessed with exercise.

12:29 pm

Judi

Fireworks!

12:30 pm

cybernan

oh - doesn't sound like anything I would want to do!

12:46 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* --- finally - a grid without a bunch of weird unmonkeyable words!

12:46 pm

cybernan

hagd everyone

12:46 pm

hego

Congrats Nan.

12:47 pm

cybernan

hi and bye hego :-)

12:47 pm

hego

:)

12:47 pm

cybernan

you need clues before I go?

12:48 pm

hego

ty, I'm good.

12:48 pm

cybernan

ok - on my way then

12:48 pm

hego

Bye and ty.

12:53 pm

bleugirl2

Distal is a word

12:53 pm

hego

but it is not in the grid. look again.

1:01 pm

Shirlockc

sa6?

1:01 pm

bleugirl2

ah. Phantom!

1:01 pm

hego

uh huh

1:01 pm

hego

shirl, a tailor.

1:02 pm

jzw

Clue for un 6/24, please! My last one1

1:03 pm

hego

not walked on.

1:03 pm

jzw

THANKS!! I feel dumb missing that one....

1:04 pm

hego

it's easy

1:04 pm

hego

easy to miss I mean.

1:07 pm

MollyL

Unmonkeyable...ah, those fantasy monkeys

1:07 pm

hego

they're a fantasy? reall?

1:07 pm

hego

really?

1:10 pm

Shirlockc

st5? the one after halt

1:10 pm

MollyL

I've never understood the whole "monkey" thing here.

1:10 pm

hego

shirl, just add a cons to halt.

1:11 pm

Shirlockc

i got that one hego

1:11 pm

Shirlockc

it's the one after i need

1:11 pm

hego

Molly, it just started form monkeying around trying to find something.

1:11 pm

Shirlockc

i always thought the monkey thing refers to that story about how if you had a million monkeys on a million typewriters forever, you'll eventually get shakespeare

1:11 pm

hego

Shirl, think bad weather.

1:12 pm

hego

Howling wind, rain poring down.

1:12 pm

Shirlockc

omg, i thought that was a phantom and didn't even try it

1:12 pm

Shirlockc

you would think that would be top of mind these days

1:12 pm

MollyL

Oh I get the references, I just don't get why people still use the term. It seems logical that really, you are just typing odd combinations until you find an odd word.

1:13 pm

hego

right. lol

1:13 pm

hego

Just for fun, Molly, that's all.

1:13 pm

MollyL

But then, I don't get the importance of nbt and nbs either, so I'm obviously the odd person out.

1:13 pm

hego

Just letting your sub conscious take over.

1:14 pm

hego

Not every one finishes, so they set other goals.

1:15 pm

Nef

Hello Everyone; how are you'll today?

1:15 pm

hego

Must go. Good day All.

1:16 pm

Nef

that was you all; not you'll

1:18 pm

Nef

Molly, I think people say nbt and bbs and monkeys because it's fun. I mean, how else do you come up with stupid words likecwm unless you have monkeys hitting keys?

1:18 pm

Nef

cwm (trying to get used to my new keyboard here & it's uneven

1:21 pm

dan2bit

I always thought it was alluding to the Infinite Monkey theorem

1:22 pm

Nef

THat's one I've never heard of, dan2; is it your special theory?

1:23 pm

Nef

(or the one about a million monkeys might type Shakespere?

1:23 pm

dan2bit

no - there's a wikipedia page about it. Yes that

1:24 pm

Nef

oh; okay. I never know there was a theorem on it before

1:25 pm

crosshair

Saying things like "NBT/NBS", and using the term monkey when typing ion any combination of letters in hopes of hitting a word, as well as "pulling a peri" are all ways of adding extra enjoyment to the game, molly. It is easy to understand.

1:26 pm

MollyL

It's official. I'm a little too logical. A million monkeys wouldn't type Shakespeare. Monkeys can't type. As for nbt and nbs, they are made up statistics. I understand that not everyone finishes. The point of the game is not to finish. It's to "find as many words as you can"

1:26 pm

crosshair

Some like their babble cold and clinical, and others do not. each to their own.

1:26 pm

dan2bit

I thought the point was to crack wise and help each other in the chog :-)

1:28 pm

MollyL

Apparently we all have different "points" here 2Bit. And as usual, to each their own is the answer.

1:28 pm

crosshair

Vulcans can play babble if they wish:))

1:28 pm

MollyL

Right

1:29 pm

penquis

live long and prosper.... ;o)

1:29 pm

ChrissieDee

I like your perspective dan

1:29 pm

crosshair

My tidbits and other musing are also not needed for the game, but many enjoy it, and I also get requests for it if i am lax in adding them.

1:30 pm

Nef

I just enjoy working the grid and chatting in chog. For me (at least) saying these things in chog may stimulate other players to chat.The number of points I have no longer matters to me since I rarely finish a grid. I enjoy the people and conversations here.

1:31 pm

ChrissieDee

I used to try and finish, but nowadays My aim is more what Molly said, just find as many words as I can.

1:31 pm

crosshair

Of course, even the chat is not "needed" We can all babble away in our own little bubbles if that is what we desire:)

1:31 pm

crosshair

Finishing is not longer a top concern for me.

1:31 pm

ChrissieDee

But I love watching the chat

1:32 pm

ChrissieDee

When do you get your final exam result crossy?

1:32 pm

crosshair

Got it. 92%:)

1:32 pm

MollyL

It's just a word game. Some people are interested in finishing, some seem more interested in chatting than actually playing. However it works is fine.

1:33 pm

ChrissieDee

Wow, well done ðŸ‘

1:34 pm

crosshair

So, 88% going into the exam, the exam itself is worth 30% of the total and I got 92%. I think it will all boil down to a final mark between 85-90 percent:)

1:34 pm

crosshair

ty chrissie

1:34 pm

Nef

There are times that I want to chat & not find words; but that doesn't last long. And, there are times that I slide the window off the right side of the screen so I don't see the chat log (I usually do this until I get NBT) because I don't want hints.

1:34 pm

Nef

WooHoo crossy! Good for you! :-D

1:34 pm

crosshair

ty, Nef. it has been a long hear and a half

1:34 pm

ChrissieDee

What's next?

1:34 pm

crosshair

year

1:34 pm

MollyL

It's nice that you can turn chat off Nef. That helps if you like to find words on your own.

1:35 pm

penquis

congrats, crossy!....way to go!

1:36 pm

bleugirl2

Am 5?

1:36 pm

crosshair

Not, sure Chrissie. I have the overall marks to get some grants/scholarships if i wish to go on, but we shall see. of the 8 classes I took, only one was below 90% and that was 88%. So I have some options.

1:37 pm

Nef

If it bugs me (when obnoxious stuff is going on) it's much easier to play with it "invisible," Molly. I thought everyone did it at times

1:37 pm

penquis

am + table scrap....

1:37 pm

ChrissieDee

Well I wish you luck whatever path you chose, you deserve it :)

1:38 pm

crosshair

tyvm;)

1:38 pm

Nef

Crossy, you must have aced that test because didn't you say after you'd finished that you didn't have enough time to complete it?

1:39 pm

ChrissieDee

Off to the supermarket for me. Fridge is empty and we have visitors for the weekend

1:39 pm

MollyL

Nef, I play with chat off a lot of the time. That's why I said it's nice to have that option.

1:41 pm

Nef

okay, I misunderstood you

1:41 pm

crosshair

I was allowed to to do the second part of the exam after I protested the time allowed. (last year students were allowed 4 hours, and this 2 hour limit was a new thing)

1:42 pm

penquis

ah....good to protest, then!

1:42 pm

Nef

Ahh, That is quite a time cut if it's the same test!

1:42 pm

crosshair

I was amongst the first group trying it with the two hour limit

1:43 pm

crosshair

It helped that none of the other finished either.

1:45 pm

Nef

good for you for complaining then! I hope they all got a chance to finish

1:56 pm

crosshair

myself and one other student for this course was in the school, but the rest were ILC and did theirs online, so I will never know how all the other made out in the end.

1:58 pm

MollyL

Everyone has a different idea of what the chat is for. Some people use it strictly to ask for clues. Some people use it as a personal blog for every minute detail of their lives. Some people just like to chat about current events or joke around. Being able to remove chat from your screen works if what is going on in chat is of no interest to you.

1:59 pm

Nef

yep

2:00 pm

crosshair

This is true.

2:05 pm

MollyL

Some people who chat here seem really lonely and like this is the only place they get some feedback on their lives. In that respect, it works just fine.

2:09 pm

Nef

True. But then again, Molly, I've been here for almost 10 years now, and some people here I consider friends. This isn't my only place I get feedback in my life; but (whether you believe it or not) I am the quietest person in my family!Some people may accuse me of being too chatty; but if they saw my family ( siblings, cousins, etc) in action; they'd realize that I am quieter than my family; but I still like to chat

2:11 pm

MollyL

And that's just fine Nef.

2:22 pm

Douglas

is amused that stid (as in stidmama) is in the grid

2:24 pm

Nef

Hi Douglas. How are you today?

2:27 pm

bichon

Speaking of the chog, I haaven't seen or heard much from ruby lately

2:28 pm

Douglas

We are well if you are well.

2:34 pm

Douglas

I find this grid to be rather friendly.

2:38 pm

Nef

It is a friendly grid, Douglas.

2:41 pm

MollyL

Ruby was here earlier. Said she has run out of pain medication and her doctor is unavailable to refill them.

2:41 pm

bichon

Oy, was she injured

2:42 pm

MollyL

She has pleurisy.

2:42 pm

bichon

She's had that for a while, right?

2:43 pm

Christa

Afternoon Babblers

2:45 pm

Nef

Hi Christa.

2:45 pm

Nef

I didn't know ruby had pleurisy. How long has that been?

2:46 pm

bichon

Quite a while Nef

2:46 pm

Uneaixoise

she's been suffering for quite a while now :-(

2:46 pm

MollyL

Pleurisy takes a long time to heal. I had it once and it's awful. I never took pain medication for it though.

2:47 pm

Uneaixoise

only had it once -- can't imagine dealing with that kind of pain in a "chronic" fashion -- poor ruby

2:47 pm

bichon

My grandfather had it and he had to have a chest tube put in

2:48 pm

Uneaixoise

me either, molly -- i remember they gave me VERY powerful antibiotics

2:48 pm

Uneaixoise

ouch, bichon

2:48 pm

MollyL

From what I have read here, Ruby and her husband don't get very good medical care in France. That's sad.

2:50 pm

Uneaixoise

not sure what kind of arrangement they have re medical care -- when I lived and worked in France, I once had to have emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia-- back in my room i overheard one of the nurses saying the surgeon must have been angry at his wife while he was operating on me

2:51 pm

Uneaixoise

i was fine but the scar was not, shall we say, "pretty" LOL

2:51 pm

bichon

No, and they can't come back to the US either

2:51 pm

Nef

Wow, Ine. That must have been very scary to hear right after surgery!

2:52 pm

Uneaixoise

they didn't think I understood French . . . :-(

2:52 pm

Nef

They can't come back to the US? Why not, bichon?

2:52 pm

Uneaixoise

it's a tax issue, i think - a very serious one

2:52 pm

Nef

Oh, my.

2:52 pm

bichon

How she got in that situation is beyond me

2:53 pm

Uneaixoise

yep

2:54 pm

MollyL

People here get on the pulpit about how bad medical care is in the US, but I know for a fact that it's pretty bad in other countries too.

2:55 pm

Uneaixoise

BUT it's cheap!!! after 8 days in the hospital, my total bill was 8 francs (less than 2 dollars) for a thermometer :-)

2:56 pm

MollyL

Well Une, you get what you pay for. Or don't pay for. My husband was a Canadian citizen before he moved here and he told me horror stories about their health care.

2:57 pm

Uneaixoise

the thing I would NOT do in France was get dental work done -- when my ex and I arrived in the US, we had to take him to our dentist to have lots of work redone that had been handled in France

2:57 pm

suefrad625

molly, the care here is so expensive because of law suits

2:57 pm

Uneaixoise

and LOBBYISTS!!!

2:58 pm

suefrad625

yep

2:58 pm

suefrad625

such a shame

2:58 pm

Uneaixoise

indeed!!

2:59 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, taking a break -- later, all :-)

2:59 pm

MollyL

From what I have read here about Ruby's unfortunate tax situation is that it is a result of nonpayment of back taxes. And she can't unravel it because her husband was in charge of things at the time.

2:59 pm

Uneaixoise

that's my understanding too , molly

2:59 pm

suefrad625

at6 please. it is my last A

3:02 pm

MollyL

Health care in these united states is expensive because we are allowing insurance companies to manage it. Sadly, this "affordable" health care that has been instituted is failing miserably.

3:03 pm

MollyL

at6...at + ripped, use a double consonant

3:04 pm

suefrad625

3:04 pm

suefrad625

3:06 pm

suefrad625

3:06 pm

suefrad625

my 14yr old son is taking a shower without me telling him to. I think he might be growing up.

3:07 pm

Nef

It does happen, suefrad! :-)

3:08 pm

kje

girl friend

3:08 pm

suefrad625

not soon enough

3:08 pm

suefrad625

my goodness, he might even start brushing his teeth...

3:08 pm

Jayde287

LOL! Don't get too excited just yet suefrad :) Our 20 year old son has shown snippets of "growing up" too, only to go back to acting like a kid!

3:08 pm

suefrad625

may wonders never cease

3:09 pm

suefrad625

one step forward, two back

3:09 pm

Jayde287

We're still "working on it" :) :) Oh the joys of parenting!

3:10 pm

suefrad625

i replaced the hatch things on my car, oh my, now it goes up by itself instead of down on my head! and i got a new key fob that really opens the doors! if only i could fix the hatch lock...

3:11 pm

MollyL

Teenage boys take lots of showers once they figure out that the shower gives them privacy for what teenage boys do

3:11 pm

suefrad625

thank goodness my two 18yrs olds are stuck up gay boys. Everything has to be perfect before they go anywhere. the problem with them is they take too many showers a day.

3:12 pm

MollyL

Stuck up gay boys???

3:13 pm

suefrad625

wes, 14, is staying in their room because they are at a cheer competition. He doesnt want to smell their bed up and get caught.

3:13 pm

suefrad625

they are both gay and beautiful. and will tell you that.

3:14 pm

Jayde287

:) That's awesome suefrad! haha! Too funny :)

3:15 pm

Nef

Good for you, suefrad. I don't know how to solve the problem of too many showers; my son never showered more than once a day

3:15 pm

Jayde287

Our son has always showered daily - granted it's now not until 3:00 pm when he wakes up!

3:18 pm

redshoes

Just think about it as evening out in the wash, so to speak. Wes is taking less showers to help make up for the over-showering of the others. Very thoughtful and eco-conscious, if you ask me. hehehe

3:19 pm

Nef

BBL; DH needs a ride.

3:20 pm

Jayde287

Thanks for the laugh everyone! I'm out!

3:20 pm

MollyL

Wes?

3:22 pm

redshoes

The 14 yr old. Did I read that wrong? Suefrad?

3:24 pm

MollyL

Oh, I thought your comment was to Jayde about her son's 3PM showers

3:24 pm

redshoes

Oops. Nope. Just meandered into the conversation. :)

4:16 pm

Douglas

There's rum in the grid. Works for me.

4:26 pm

suefrad625

sorry. I got an email saying they were opening the school tonight for2 hours. I had to get dressed, setup dinner and open my classroom. now we will see if anyone shows up.

4:27 pm

suefrad625

and pot douglas

4:27 pm

suefrad625

we are party animals round here

5:56 pm

suefrad625

helloooooooo

6:03 pm

Nef

Hi again suefrad. How are you doing?

6:10 pm

Nef

My Dear Hubby (DH) has now broken one of my "unbreakable" plastic kitchen spoons; I don't know how he does that.

6:31 pm

jaxx7

Offer him as a tester to one of the manufacturers of 'unbreakable' spoons.

6:31 pm

wht

Good evening Babblers

6:32 pm

jaxx7

Hi, wht.

6:32 pm

wht

Hi jaxx, are we the only ones here.

6:33 pm

jaxx7

There seems to have been a 20 min break when i arrived.

6:33 pm

wht

Maybe everyone has taken the rum and pot from the grid and are over in the PB.

6:34 pm

jaxx7

Could be. Perhaps they have got snowed in

6:35 pm

jaxx7

I am not doing too well with this grid, possibly as it is nearly 1AM here

6:35 pm

wht

I don't know. It's been a week since we've had much of a snowstorm.

6:36 pm

Nef

-I'm still here; I just wandered off to brew some tea

6:37 pm

wht

Hi nef

6:37 pm

jaxx7

I am in England, wht. All we seem to have had is gales and very cold days and nights.

6:37 pm

Nef

Hi why and Kaxx

6:38 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Nef. A cup of tea sounds lovely.

6:38 pm

Nef

And here in MN we've just had cold & not much snow. :-( (I don't mind the snow so much; but the cold is tough on me)

6:38 pm

wht

I am in Boston, Jaxx. We've had about 8 feet of snow in the last 4 weeks.

6:39 pm

Nef

Which is enough to make you hate snow, right, why?

6:39 pm

jaxx7

I have seen the pics on the TV news, wht

6:39 pm

wht

I don't hate it, but I can wait until next year for the next major storm.

6:40 pm

Nef

wht! sorry, it seems spellcheck doesn't like your name.

6:41 pm

wht

The worst is that I cannot see anything when I back my car out of the driveway because the snow banks are too tall.

6:41 pm

wht

Trust me, I have been called a lot worse.

6:41 pm

jaxx7

The last time we had severe snow was in 1966 and the roads were still frozen in May. It is pretty at first and then gets tedious. We have snowdrops and crocuses up in our garden so Spring is not far away

6:42 pm

wht

I have heard rumors of this thing called spring.

6:43 pm

wht

I would like a little more melting so that the snow will come off our solar panels.

6:43 pm

jaxx7

It will reach you then comes Summer and we all moan about being hot. We human beings are never satisfied.

6:43 pm

Nef

Last year we had snow through most of April. My birthday is the beginning of May and the crocuses were just coming out then

6:44 pm

wht

My birthday is the end of April, and so far we have never had any snow piles left around on my birthday.

6:45 pm

wht

I would hope that this year would be no exception.

6:45 pm

jaxx7

Here in Devon Teignmouth is in a very sheltered setting with the Sea on one side and surrounded by hills. We get our spring flowers very early

6:46 pm

wht

Well, usually our temperatures are tempered by the ocean, but on the other hand, it means we have a ready source of moisture when storms come up the coast.

6:46 pm

Nef

When I lived in northwestern MN (where I grew up) I remember a snowfall in june, after school was out. But it was fun and didn't last

6:47 pm

wht

I guess I need to head off to the PB from my last comment.

6:48 pm

jaxx7

We had one in May on one occasion and it brought all transport to a halt. The British do not cope very well with ice and snow.

6:48 pm

wht

Fireworks.

6:49 pm

wht

I think lately you have been getting our leftovers.

6:49 pm

Nef

I'm always amazed by the "Lake Effect" on northern New York. I've seen people post lots of snow pictures in past years from friends; but they seem overwhelmed with this too

6:49 pm

Nef

YAY, wht!!! WTG!!!

6:49 pm

jaxx7

Way hay Wht. I still have 50 left but it won't be long before I head to my bed.

6:50 pm

Nef

I have 35 left; which I'm surprised at

6:51 pm

jaxx7

It isn't that nice a grid. I am impressed with wht's fireworks.

6:52 pm

Nef

It started out easy though (I thought it was better than the last 2)

6:54 pm

wht

Well I was just working my way down the list. I was suprised myself when the fireworks went off.

6:55 pm

wht

Do you want any clues before I head off?

6:56 pm

jaxx7

Well, friends I am loving you and leaving you before I go to sleep over my keyboard. Look after yourselves.

6:56 pm

Nef

I've been playing with the tile stats grid; I make patterns on it so tonight it kind of looks like a snow plow. (right column grey, bottom 3 rows grey then 2nd & 3rd 2nd row also grey

6:57 pm

wht

Good night jaxx.

6:57 pm

Nef

I'm fine wht. And Jaxx go to bed! ;-)

6:57 pm

wht

Nef, I think we all have snow on the brain.

6:58 pm

Nef

possibly. Then again, I was having problems with that upper left corner so found that I couldn't make a frame.

7:00 pm

wht

well, I wll leave you to your grid sculpture, nef. Good Night all.

7:00 pm

Nef

Good Night Jaxx and why! Sleep well!

7:12 pm

penquis

hello...

7:15 pm

Nef

Hi penq How are you tonight?

7:15 pm

Nef

(I'm watching "This OLd House," got carried away watching the wiring part)

7:16 pm

penquis

ok here, thanks....hope you are doing well....

7:17 pm

Nef

doing fine tonight

7:17 pm

Nef

how's the knitting going?

7:18 pm

penquis

7:18 pm

penquis

sorry...

7:18 pm

Nef

NP, penq

7:18 pm

penquis

knitting is going slowly, but ok....got the tip of a sock toe done....i am doing a video course on socks...

7:19 pm

Nef

what color are you working with?

7:20 pm

penquis

is a very nice blue....not teal, but like a darker electric blue...

7:21 pm

Nef

Oh! That's cool!

7:21 pm

penquis

pattern calls for two colors but i am just doing one....

7:22 pm

Nef

Well, with your first socks, I think 1 color makes more sense

how are you?

7:58 pm

penquis

fine, thanks...you?

8:02 pm

penquis

i hit a stone wall at 27....going to list...

8:04 pm

phandmd

I am okay. Hard day at work today. Those 2 resident's I have told you about are really sucking the joy out of me.

8:04 pm

phandmd

I am almost 1/2 way.

8:05 pm

phandmd

ahh! Just passed 1/2 way. :)

8:05 pm

penquis

ah...you h ave to keep telling yourself that you won't let them get to you.....i know it's harder than it sounds, but that kind of self talk can be helpful over time...

8:06 pm

phandmd

Hard when they are basically personally attacking me. Today the daughter was up in her wheel chair and as I walked past her she said "Too bad I can't run you down, Bitch"

8:06 pm

penquis

ignore the taunts....paying attention only reinforces them...

8:06 pm

penquis

it's human behavior....

8:06 pm

phandmd

I know

8:07 pm

penquis

try to smile at them when you can...

8:07 pm

penquis

it's like dealing with children....

8:08 pm

phandmd

That is what I have been trying, but I am not sure I can do that anymore.

8:08 pm

penquis

why not?

8:09 pm

phandmd

Just don't have it in me.

8:10 pm

phandmd

they have worn me down.

8:10 pm

penquis

just try to focus on what you are trying to do....that's all you can do....

8:11 pm

phandmd

That and try to protect myself from any false accusations from them

8:11 pm

penquis

don't stay in their room longer than you have to....you might want to apprise your supervisor of what is going on and how you are trying to handle it...forewarned is forearmed....

8:12 pm

phandmd

Already have and I also have someone with me when doing the wound care I have to do for the daughter.

8:12 pm

penquis

good thinking...

8:14 pm

phandmd

Yeah, I may be stupid sometimes, but I am not an idiot!

8:14 pm

penquis

lol...

8:29 pm

Hello all. Strength to all who need it!! I was reading an inspirational magazine yesterday. Carrie Ten Boom (a Dutch woman) said that Worry about the future does'nt take the sorrow from what will happen and worry about today takes the strength out of the present. Interesting way to look at situations.

9:00 pm

phandmd

Peri, she is, but so is the mother. Today, I was checking her BP, I use an automatic cuff, and the arm needs to be in a particular position. I always hold the resident's arm in place, gently, but still. So after I took the cuff off, she "whiped" her hand off (where I was touching her) and said yuck!

9:01 pm

phandmd

Corrie Ten Boom is an amazing woman!

9:01 pm

stidgmere

Yes, I was able to visit her home in Haarlam (sp) a few years ago.

9:02 pm

Thanks, Peri. Well, off to bed for me, I need a good nights sleep before tomorrow. Not sure if I will have the same hallway again are not.

Well, my unit is a long term care unit, so the potential is nauseating at this point!
