VolleymomDee

LOL

12:19 am

harpjane

it would go with ce5 perhaps?

12:21 am

Erda

strange instrumentation.........

12:21 am

harpjane

but of course, not in a marching band....

12:21 am

harpjane

It wouldn't be a parade without the fi5 with a rider playing the fi4

12:22 am

harpjane

nbt nbs but I used a2z

12:24 am

Erda

I'd like to see those five c's in a parade.....

12:24 am

harpjane

that might cause a blood cl4

12:24 am

rururocks

I think the band leader would string them along erda

12:25 am

Erda

it just might

12:26 am

Erda

but of course, ruru

12:26 am

rururocks

but if he kicked them out it might lead to violince

12:26 am

Erda

triple groan

12:26 am

harpjane

then he would have to worry about the ho4 on the fo4 of the fi5

12:27 am

rururocks

1:05 am

Lizlin

Never seen it. Glad you enjoyed it.

1:06 am

Lizlin

I mean, I've seen Much Ado - but not Joss Whedon's

1:07 am

grannyrose

it's in black and white, and set in the present. but the dialogue was straight from shakespeare.

1:08 am

Lizlin

I'll look out for a repeat. What channel?

1:08 am

grannyrose

on dvd.

1:08 am

Lizlin

Ah! OK - well perhaps in the DVD shop.

2:15 am

jbp

love that version!

2:16 am

jbp

and I love that it has so many Whedonverse folks

2:16 am

jbp

and I just realized that you have already all left... ;-(

2:20 am

grannyrose

jbp, have been flicking in sporadically. no-one was talking.

2:20 am

jbp

ah. well i was just passing thru and I saw mention of my fave version of much ado

2:21 am

grannyrose

isn't it amazing?? we both loved it.

2:21 am

jbp

especially Agent Colsson. ;-)

2:21 am

jbp

and to think they just shot it over a weekend at his house!

2:22 am

grannyrose

oh, yes. we both had a surprise at him.

2:22 am

jbp

well, it's always good to hear that someone shares my keen cultural tastes. ;-)

2:22 am

grannyrose

i know, jbp. the whole film is so good.

2:23 am

jbp

well, i must to bed; it's a million o'clock here

2:23 am

grannyrose

have you ever seen shakespeare in love?

2:23 am

jbp

oh yes, and it was good

2:23 am

jbp

but it was no Whedonesque wonder

2:24 am

jbp

anyhoo...hope to be back at a saner hour

2:25 am

grannyrose

sleep well, jbp. xoxox

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Another amazing day today:)) we are in full spring mode. it is 7C already, and we are looking forward to a glorious high of 17C and full sun:))

6:41 am

grannyrose

nice crossy. sukee was saying the same.

6:42 am

crosshair

lol. yesterday, after classes, i went out to the parking lot and we were all standing around like prisoners recently released from solitary confinement. Everyone had their faces turned up the the heavens. We were all just soaking in the sunshine

6:43 am

grannyrose

oh i know that feeling. you do know we are descended from chickens, don't you?

6:43 am

crosshair

Actually we are descended from mud:)

6:44 am

crosshair

and in all those millions of years of evolution not much has changed;)

6:44 am

grannyrose

nope chickens. we need sunlight on our retinas in order to perform properly...just watch out where you aly that egg!!

6:44 am

crosshair

lol

6:45 am

car.eeyore

ty for the O words!

6:45 am

grannyrose

yay car.ee. well done honey.

6:46 am

crosshair

When the world finally gets rid of us humans, the universe can only hope that the dolphins or the bees get a crack at the top job. I am sure they will do much better with things.

6:46 am

grannyrose

yeah, crossy. i'm with you....or rather the dolphins and bees...

6:47 am

crosshair

or perhaps things will go like Douglas Adams predicted:)

6:48 am

crosshair

Things I think of when not fully awake:)

6:48 am

grannyrose

crossy, don and i watched a dvd today. joss whedon's Much Ado About Nothing. it was absolutely fabulous.

6:48 am

crosshair

i shall have to look it up

6:49 am

grannyrose

he did it in black and white. the dialogue was all shakespeare.

6:49 am

crosshair

Ahh; thought it had a Shakespearean ring to it

6:50 am

crosshair

I am still trying to get over my 2 month visit with Othello for my university English course

6:50 am

grannyrose

*smacks crossy's hand* naughty man...and you a literature student.

6:51 am

crosshair

I only visited Shakespeare the once. perhaps I will do so again, but not for a while:)

6:51 am

crosshair

The I did a full report on William and 6 of his contemporaries... that was nasty

6:52 am

crosshair

Thomas Kyd, ben Jonson and the gang

6:54 am

crosshair

Funny thing is that the entire lot of them, all the most influential playwrights of the age, every single one of them operated within a 5 mile radius of each other and all generally drank in the same pub

6:54 am

crosshair

Many of them wrote for each other and even acted a part in another's play

6:56 am

crosshair

One of them, i cannot remember which, was so impoverished at the time of his death, that when buried at the local church, he was buried upright in a standing position in a 18x18 inch burial space

6:56 am

grannyrose

wow, crossy. really? how interesting!

6:57 am

crosshair

and even that 18 inch space had to be donated;)

6:57 am

grannyrose

so sad an ending for one of our literary greats.

6:58 am

crosshair

They all, almost without exception died penniless and unappreciated

6:58 am

grannyrose

that is so sad, crossy.

6:59 am

crosshair

One, again I cannot remember which again, did have a royal stipend, but he was the exception.

6:59 am

crosshair

60P a year and a cask of wine a month I believe

7:00 am

crosshair

anyways, did not mean to put eveyone asleep droning on about those boys. Must head to class. Take care all, and happy babbling!

7:01 am

car.eeyore

Very interesting! TY Crossy! HAGD

7:03 am

grannyrose

7:27 am

lbdawger

sweet sleeps, Rose

7:32 am

bichon

hooley, what is it?

7:36 am

MollyL

It's an Irish slang word for party, celebration or good time. And before anyone says that Enable does not accept slang words...arvo

7:38 am

Trifioso

hello dear friends

7:38 am

car.eeyore

Trif!

7:38 am

bichon

7:43 am

car.eeyore

7:44 am

car.eeyore

5/12

7:45 am

josephjames

Top A or O?

7:45 am

MollyL

There is a bar in New York (The Dead Rabbit) that sells a shot of 1951 Knappouge Single Malt Irish Whiskey for $250. They also sell one of my favorite t-shirts that says I'D RATHER BE SOMEONE'S SHOT OF WHISKEY THAN EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA

7:45 am

car.eeyore

AF 6/27

7:46 am

car.eeyore

7:49 am

Trifioso

7:49 am

car.eeyore

co workers or students?

7:49 am

Trifioso

co worker

7:49 am

car.eeyore

:(

7:49 am

car.eeyore

Can you ignore it?

7:50 am

Trifioso

of course, anything can be ignored....don't want to look like a clueless airhead though

7:50 am

josephjames

i have a co6/21 that is just a plural of a 5/12

7:50 am

car.eeyore

Yup, that was the one I need but found

7:50 am

car.eeyore

But, as we know, sometimes NO reaction is the BEST reaction.

7:51 am

MollyL

Unfortunately, ignoring can be taken as a sign of approval

7:51 am

Trifioso

I agree, molly. I am so done with this nonsense.

7:52 am

Trifioso

and I also agree with Car

7:52 am

Trifioso

Mostly I just want to tell the offender that I know what she did, and I dont' appreciate it.

7:52 am

MollyL

Sadly, some people never mature past the age of 12

7:53 am

Trifioso

Im so tired of being everyone's punching bag

7:55 am

Trifioso

clue for the top row a please?

7:55 am

car.eeyore

rear of boat + I had a champagne Mim*** with my brunch

7:55 am

MollyL

7:57 am

Trifioso

7:57 am

Trifioso

that happened to me yesterday, crossy - you will be fine

7:57 am

Trifioso

get a good lesson plan!!!

7:58 am

crosshair

Have it ready:))

7:58 am

car.eeyore

<--- would love to have Crossy as a teacher!

7:58 am

crosshair

sentence editing, structured paragraphs, and, if time allows they can work on their novel study in the afternoon

7:59 am

crosshair

lol, ty car;)

8:00 am

Trifioso

actually, that is what set my coworker off - I was asked to sub, she wasn't, and she was PISSED. grumped at me all day. And then completely excluded me from a meeting this morning, on purpose, by not telling me it was happening. nice lady

8:00 am

car.eeyore

I can't find my last two words and I am getting pissy.

8:01 am

car.eeyore

Stupid lady.

8:01 am

crosshair

I know it, trif. here we have a overload of recently graduated teachers. they fight like wild dogs for sub slots

8:01 am

crosshair

You can be a sub for a decade before finding a full-time slot

8:02 am

crosshair

That is why many take the extra course to teach in the far north in first nation schools

8:02 am

Trifioso

I get that

8:03 am

Trifioso

I like subbing. you get to work with a full range of students, and the work rarely gets dull, as it changes. No parent teacher conferences, grade books, IEP meetings, or boring faculty meetings to attend. Lack of benefits and shit pay are definite downsides, though

8:03 am

crosshair

indeed;)

8:04 am

crosshair

i am doing a unpaid internship as it were;(

8:04 am

Trifioso

ugh

8:04 am

car.eeyore

OK...I need help...TO 5/14 please?

8:06 am

Trifioso

oh dear....someone had baked beans for breakfast today, it would seem.....gonna be a LONG day

8:06 am

car.eeyore

ugh

8:06 am

Trifioso

I wish we could write letters home about this sort of thing...."Dear Parent - please choose your child's breakfast items more carefully...."

8:07 am

car.eeyore

Did you see the FB post about detentions? LMAO

8:07 am

Trifioso

I DID!!! My favorite was the muggle one

8:07 am

car.eeyore

FIREWORKS!

8:08 am

Trifioso

huzzah for car!!!

8:08 am

josephjames

CE7?

8:08 am

car.eeyore

ce + Win, ***e, or Draw + 2 vowels

8:09 am

josephjames

Thanks

8:10 am

car.eeyore

Trif...made a great, super easy breakfast casserole for dinner last night. I can give you the recipe if you would like.

8:11 am

12:40 pm

cybernan

no idea what the word before nitrite is

12:41 pm

MollyL

Starts with am, it's an inhalant

12:42 pm

cybernan

still don't know

12:42 pm

Maybe you are more familiar with the iso word that comes before alcohol. That ends the same way

12:43 pm

cybernan

not that one either, molly

12:43 pm

id**ls of the king

12:43 pm

Hi Min! How are you doing these days?

I'll be happy when the weather settles down.

10:32 pm

(actually, we had 2 nice days in a row; It may be improving now)

10:35 pm

Minveryork

It is going to be 75 here in New York on Saturday. Yippee!

10:49 pm

Nef

Wow! It's been up to 70 this past week for a day, but the wind was really strong that day.

10:51 pm

Nef

And then the next day was cold & rainy; now yesterday & today were nice; but it clouded over this evening and feeling like rain.

10:54 pm

jacq

the weather has been changeable here too, it's awfully hard to plan anything outdoorsy, even clothing is hard to plan lol

10:54 pm

Nef

Yes. And they are predicting rain & maybe some snow on Saturday (we need the rain; but they can keep the snow!0

10:55 pm

jacq

we had no snow here, all over scotland had snow except here

10:56 pm

Nef

Beautiful picture icon, jacq!

10:57 pm

jacq

thank you, i can't remember the name of it but it was where Bonnie Prince Charlie gathered the clans before Culloden, not too far from the viaduct that featured in those wizard films (sorry my memory is really bad today, along with balance lol) with the steam train

11:02 pm

Nef

Well, you did post the info in your profile, jacq; so don't fret about it too much. (I can't remember to chat in the right box tonight; so I'm not much better than you!)

11:05 pm

jacq

it's quite scary losing my memory like this, things i took for granted like phone numbers and birthdays, if they aren't written down they are gone, same with appointments etc

11:05 pm

Minveryork

Was hoping to get my last nine words, but I must go to bed

11:05 pm

jacq

i got bank charges because i completely forgot to pay bills

11:06 pm

night night Minver x

11:06 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to all babblers! I will see ya whenever I see ya!

11:07 pm

Nef

jacq, do you have a medical reason for that? Or are you like most of us people who try to do too many things at once & therefore can't remember anything?

11:07 pm

Nef

Good Night Min! I'm sorry I'm not connecting well with you tonight!

11:08 pm

jacq

I have Fibromyalgia, they say the memory loss is because of that but it's all short term memories so i don't know, i forget what i'm saying half way through a sentence, things like that

11:09 pm

Dorens

well then you'll always be interesting with something to say jacq

11:09 pm

Nef

Okay. There you go; you already know that much (& it's more of an excuse than most of us "mature" folk!)

11:10 pm

jacq

LOL Dorens i have had some interesting moments, that's true, i had a small argument with the doctor about my age, i was so sure i was 48, he assured me i was 49, somewhere i lost a whole year lol

11:10 pm

Dorens

I try to lose years all the time.. not a big deal!

11:11 pm

Nef

LOL! I've totally forgotten how old I was when I was over-stressed at one point

11:11 pm

jacq

thankfully it wasn't one of the years my grandchildren were born

11:12 pm

Nef

(That's why I finally retired; just too much stress made me feel crazy)

11:13 pm

jacq

stress is an awful thing to deal with and it can make you really ill. Can i ask what you did Nef?

11:13 pm

grannyrose

poor you Jacq. i empathise totally. my FM has been playing up really badly.

11:14 pm

jacq

you have Fibro too Rose? gentle hugs xx

11:14 pm

Nef

I'm an RN, jacq. I was running a prenatal clinic in a women's resource center; and dealing with my DH (who has M.S.) and our daughter-in-law (now EX-DIL) is bipolar and they were living with us because my son was laid off.

11:15 pm

grannyrose

when i go in for my infusion therapy the admissions clerk hands me a 3 page form to fill out. FM brain fog does not help at 6:30am.

11:16 pm

Nef

Oh, My, No, grannyrose! A potor 2 of coffee, maybe, but still....

11:16 pm

grannyrose

gentle hugs for you too jacq. it's a beast of a disorder.

11:16 pm

jacq

oh gosh Nef, that's a lot of stress, family issues are the worst i think, so hard to deal with the emotions too, I know exactly how you feel Rose, ever since October last year it's been one flare up after another

11:17 pm

grannyrose

next time i am going to take a print out of my history with me. that way i don't have to think.

11:17 pm

Nef

My youngest sister (actually half sister) has FM. I'm not sure how she managed.

11:18 pm

Nef

THat's what I try to do with my hubby, rose.

11:18 pm

jacq

it's funny but i hadn't even heard of it and when i told my family and friends i was suddenly aware of all these people locally who had the illness and hadn't spoken about it to anybody for fear of being mocked

11:18 pm

Nef

Isn't it sad that people treat it that way?

11:18 pm

jacq

have the family issues been sorted out now Nef? not good if that carries on too long, carers are always neglected (by themselves too) hugs for you too xxx

11:20 pm

jacq

one of my daughters refuses to accept that it causes problems, she said she went to a website about FM and there were al these women who were working full time and doing all sorts of running etc after work. I would love to have some of their meds LOL i have a stairlift...

11:21 pm

rururocks

at 50 too.. sounds tough

11:21 pm

Nef

DH has cognitive issues and his MS symptoms are up & down. Sone is now divorced; & he & his son (my beautiful 5 year old grandson) live about 5 minutes from here & grandson goes to school just 2 blocks away. He's here usually 1 night a week (he LOVES walking to school with me in the AM!)

11:21 pm

grannyrose

it's a two-edged sword, jacq. because it hasn't been talked about, and not a whole lot of research made public about it, when dealing with a claim through insurance, they cannot connect your acute pain and a flare up of your FM.

11:21 pm

rururocks

I have vibralmylegga

11:22 pm

rururocks

it's the pulling someone's leg disease

11:22 pm

Nef

<Groan> Ruru, that's bad.

11:23 pm

rururocks

:D

11:24 pm

jacq

oh dear LOL

11:24 pm

grannyrose

it depends on which area your own FM is most vicious.everybody is NOT the same,jacq. it's a pity your daughter cannot see that. up until may 2013, i was still working 3 x 10 hour shifts/week.

11:25 pm

Nef

What is that atavar of, ruru? I can't enlarge it; so it looks kind of scary to me

11:25 pm

rururocks

it's not scary .. just sad

11:26 pm

jacq

same here Rose, i was in the care sector doing home care and managing to keep that up even in pain but eventually you can't pretend any more. If it wasn't for the meds i would be a screaming wreck lol

11:26 pm

Nef

what area did you work in, rose? (you're a nurse, right?)

11:26 pm

grannyrose

critical care, recovery room

11:26 pm

rururocks

rose is currently a candy striper for her husband .. lolly pops and all

11:26 pm

grannyrose

i was also part of the emergency response team.

11:27 pm

jacq

oooh can i have a lolly please??

11:27 pm

grannyrose

*chuckling* ruru, you are very, very bad... but i like it.

11:27 pm

rururocks

*innocent look*

11:28 pm

rururocks

*blinks*

11:28 pm

jacq

MS is an awful condition Nef, that must be exhausting, what sort of support do you get?

11:28 pm

Nef

:-D WOOT! I worked 34 years in CV-ICU (until my on the job foot injury; when I ended up having 3 surgeries & can't be on my foot for more than 2 hours anymore

11:28 pm

jacq

fail!

11:28 pm

grannyrose

btw, did you collect all your {{hugs}} last night?

11:28 pm

Nef

at a time

11:28 pm

rururocks

my hugs?

11:28 pm

jacq

oh Nef that's so hard to deal with

11:29 pm

grannyrose

yup, ruru, everyone sent you hugs, but you had already gone.

11:29 pm

rururocks

oh.. missed them I guess

11:30 pm

rururocks

I've gotten to like hugs again in my life actually

11:30 pm

jacq

go into the archive Ruru, hugs are always needed

11:30 pm

Nef

WHat happened that everyone was sending him hugs?

11:30 pm

grannyrose

ouch, nef. it's so hard to down-grade after crit care isn't it? i guess we must all be adrenaline junkies....lol

11:31 pm

rururocks

I would think that critical care would be an exhausting job and very stressful

11:31 pm

grannyrose

nef, ruru was being cheeky, and so we (ahem, read i ) decided he needed some hugging.

11:32 pm

Nef

I planned on working ICU until I died, rose. I was a CCRN for 25 years; taught hemodynamics,etc. I loved it. But; after a bit of a bumpy trail, I did love prenatal care too

11:32 pm

grannyrose

ruru, it's the challenge. no day is the same. and no patient responds the same.

11:33 pm

jacq

brb

11:33 pm

rururocks

I've never been in a hospital myself as a patient

11:34 pm

Nef

I never found it stressful though. I had my 1 or 2 patients who got the best care I could give; & I always kept them alive through my shift & usually improving when my shift was over.

11:35 pm

grannyrose

*stands with bedpan at the ready* here mr ruru, just lift your bottom a little higher.

11:35 pm

Nef

(Did that sound right? They were improving from my care; NOT because I was off!)

11:35 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* nef

11:35 pm

rururocks

I was wondering there nef

11:35 pm

Nef

He needs a gown rose! ;-)

11:36 pm

grannyrose

oh, yes, one of those backless numbers. coming right up.

11:36 pm

rururocks

speaking of cheeky

11:36 pm

Nef

LOL!

11:37 pm

grannyrose

which do you want, ruru? the pretty blue one or the pretty pink one?

11:37 pm

Nef

Give him the one that's too small and the strings are missing, rose!

11:38 pm

rururocks

don't make it a short gown

11:38 pm

grannyrose

well let me see.....*rummaging through the pile* there's lots like that, nef. take your pick

11:39 pm

Nef

ruru, you have no choice on length

11:39 pm

grannyrose

how about the number with velcro shoulders. perfect for breast feeding.

11:40 pm

Nef

*Most* gowns usually come to your mid-thigh; some are longer though

11:40 pm

Nef

Perfect rose!

11:40 pm

grannyrose

ROFLOL

11:41 pm

Nef

(Just make sure the velcro is fairly worn, though. We can't let him be TOO modest!

11:42 pm

Nef

Those velcro ones are great for IV's & PICC Lines, rosr. Which arm do you want (I'll take the other one)

11:42 pm

grannyrose

oh, i thought i would use a foot vein.

11:43 pm

grannyrose

did i mention i have a mean streak to my caring nature?

11:43 pm

11:51 pm

It's easy to have fun with pretend work. :-) Part of the black humor of nursing, I guess

wb jacq

11:52 pm

jacq

yes i would imagine on the hardest of days there has to be a spark of humour or the day would suck you in

11:53 pm

grannyrose

glad we were able to make you laugh, jacq.

11:54 pm

jacq

i try to laugh at least once a day Rose, even if it's just at the daft things like falling into the tub while cleaning it LOL

11:55 pm

Nef

One of the funniest/scaryest things I've ever seen was during a code situations. The patient's heart had stopped and we were doing CPR on him, he went into V. tachycardia (the rhythm that we can shock them out of) and the young hot-shot doc who thought he was God grabbed the paddles, yelled "clear!" (which means nobody touch the patient or bed) and he shocked the patient.

11:55 pm

grannyrose

oh, dear jacq. i can quite imagine. i am fortunate that i have my don. he has the same quirky sense of humour as i do. we make each other laugh.

11:57 pm

Nef

But he hadn't checked if HE was clear; and he had a couple of IV fluid lines running across his groin area (he'd stepped into that area of the bedside). All of a suddne, he's bent over & yells "I fried my Ba**s! Another RN asked him : Do youhave kids?

11:57 pm

jacq

LOLOLOL

11:57 pm

grannyrose

ROFLOL that is too precious!!

11:58 pm

jacq

i can imagine that news travelling round the whole hospital LOL

11:58 pm

Nef

I don't think I ever saw him grab the paddles away from a nurse again!

11:59 pm

Nef

jacq, that's the first time I've ever told that one; & it's been over 30 -35 years

11:59 pm

grannyrose

strange that!! sometimes it takes a situation like that to make them grow up and become a good doctor.

11:59 pm

Nef

yep

11:59 pm

jacq

My husband Angus (Angie) is my rock, he helps me in so many ways and i couldn't manage without him. I make sure he knows every day that i appreciate him but he just says "In sickness and in health" and that he loves me
