12:17 am

dcseain

i've been debating baking cookies, but i should probably sleep soon. I'm to be at my mom's house at noon to help her sort out her medical bills.

12:18 am

kje

that sounds daunting, dc

12:18 am

torgone

ty5 for nbt/nbs ..

12:18 am

dizgrannie

NBT/NBS

12:19 am

dcseain

it's a triggery task for her. It brings back dealing with everything around my father's death 29 years ago.

12:19 am

harpjane

nbt nbs good night, stay safe in the flood watch seain!

12:19 am

kje

you're a good man for going and helping her

12:19 am

dcseain

i'm trying to convince her to sign up for Medicare Part B. That's an uphill battle. Part F if i can convince her, too.

12:19 am

Lizlin

Sleep well jane

12:19 am

dcseain

g'night jane :)

12:19 am

kje

she should have part b!

12:20 am

dcseain

her health plan wants her to. But she may not qualify for B since she has full federal health benefits with her retirement.

12:21 am

kje

ah

12:21 am

kje

she was a fed employee?

12:21 am

harpjane

seain, I know someone who did not have the Medicare Supplement--for one month. What can happen in a month, they said? Well, his share of the medical bills is $20,000. If they had the supplement they would have had NO share.

12:21 am

dcseain

my dad was, but she was granted 66 and 2/3% of a base secret service officer's salary tax-free with full federal benefits for life.

12:22 am

harpjane

Federal employees can still get part B. In fact my mom's policy requires it. I think her govt insurance might even pay the premium.

12:22 am

dcseain

jane, she'll have maybe a total of 3-4k from 2 weeks in hospital and 6 weeks in rehab.

12:23 am

dcseain

hm. I wonder if i need to talk to DC about that.

12:23 am

dcseain

Secret Service retire under the DC Police and Firemen's Fund, which is a Federal program.

12:24 am

dcseain

she has no eligibility until January, regardless. But getting the answers now will make that easier.

12:25 am

12:27 am

I think there should be a ye8 to go with that ye4/8

12:28 am

4:57 am

MollyL

Well, I'm glad all the good thoughts and prayers that went out for you from everyone were heard and answered.

4:58 am

5:21 am

crosshair

"I am just a student sir, and I'd only like to learn, but it's hard to read from the rising smoke of the books that you like to burn.."

5:21 am

5:32 am

crosshair

Where have you been hiding on me, Rose? I have missed seeing you in the chog:)

Trifioso

good morning dear friends

7:38 am

Anniebrook

morning, Trif

7:38 am

Trifioso

its overcast today, and Im really happy - its easier to garden on overcast days

7:39 am

Anniebrook

same weather here also, it is also drizzling

7:39 am

Trifioso

drizzle would be lovely! we are down a quart here for sure

7:40 am

Anniebrook

no tutoring today

7:40 am

Trifioso

yes, just an hour later, to do some assessments. boy is quite lovely, really.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

so, it won't be so bad, except for the money

7:42 am

Trifioso

so here's my fun news of the day: on a whim, I let my daughters talk me into an OUTRAGEOUS shade of red....quite a change! thank god that its summer, and I don't see as many people!

7:42 am

Anniebrook

and I bet you look good. did Valentine see your hair yet?

7:42 am

Trifioso

nope.

7:42 am

Trifioso

and nope

7:43 am

Trifioso

hahaha

7:43 am

Anniebrook

surprise, surprise!

7:43 am

Trifioso

its just hair. it fade

7:43 am

Trifioso

it will fade - sorry, not fully with the program yet. I gave up coffee for the summer, can you tell"

7:44 am

Anniebrook

Yes!

7:44 am

Trifioso

oooooh, nbt was a snap today - tra la la

7:45 am

Anniebrook

Do you really feel the effects of not having coffee?

7:45 am

Trifioso

not so much now, but woke with headaches the first couple of days.

7:46 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I had headaches when I gave up caffeine. Now I have 2 cups in the morning.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

phone, brb

7:47 am

Trifioso

im so nervous chogging now - what if all this time, I have unknowingly been one of the people driving everyone crazy?

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Trif, You never drove me crazy. This was a place to unload stuff when you were having a ha4 time. Now you have flaming red hair...that's a good thing.

7:52 am

Trifioso

its a thing, for sure!!! lol. It surely will take some getting used to....think Kate Mulgrew on Orange is the new black....

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Do I sound like Martha Stewart?

7:53 am

Anniebrook

I never saw Orange is the new Black. Must turn it on one night.

7:54 am

Trifioso

I don't think so. Oh, one of my high school friends posts the most AMAZING transformations on FB - she takes absolute pieces of CRAP from other people crap and turns them into seriously adorable things....

7:54 am

Trifioso

I wish I had that gift

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Me too.

7:55 am

Trifioso

she rescued a rusty, disgusting pair of garden chairs this week, and I can see they have great bones, but I wouldn't have looked at them twice. By next week they will be worthy of a museum

7:55 am

Anniebrook

Does she sell the things she rescues and transforms?

7:55 am

Trifioso

im thinking the key is knowing when something really IS too far gone to save....I have tried a couple of these rescues, and they never really come together

7:56 am

Trifioso

no, she has this wicked adorable beach house that was left to her by her grandfather, and she is using the pieces to outfit it, slowly.

7:57 am

Trifioso

im quite sure patience is the other necessary ingredient. she works for HOURS with wire brushes, paints, etc....

7:58 am

Anniebrook

It is pouring here but get windows closed.

7:58 am

Trifioso

ive "picked" some winners from the trash, for sure - in particular a very lovely mirror I have hanging in my living room, but I don't do much to them. Just use in what state I found them.

8:00 am

BzznBea

That's what I do to, Trif. Take them as I get them.

8:00 am

crosshair

After 22 years in the same place, we spend out lives trying to get rid of stuff that has built up over time. Now we seek only to reclaim space:(

8:00 am

Trifioso

hi crossy, and good morning bea!

8:00 am

crosshair

Howdy, trif.

8:01 am

Trifioso

I have been doing that too, crossy, or trying to replace things with better quality ones, as I can. My dining room table is the bane of my existence.

8:01 am

BzznBea

Morning all.

8:01 am

crosshair

sadly it means driving by all those flea markets, antoque shops and yard sales. My rule of thumb now is that for every one thing that comes into the pace, two must go:)

8:02 am

Trifioso

I have that same rule, crossy! wow

8:02 am

crosshair

place.. My fingers are rebellious today:(

8:03 am

BzznBea

I have been in purge mode. I have hauled so much stuff out of the house.

8:03 am

Trifioso

crossy, I have been following the chog conversation on FB, and I want to publically apologize if I have ever been too negative or less than a productive presence on here. I feel AWFUL, and terribly embarrassed.

8:04 am

Trifioso

good for you, bea! please, for the love of all that is holy, don't give me your address!!! lololol

8:04 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

8:05 am

It is tough, Even though a thing may have not been used or moved from its storage spot in years, it is still hard to let go. I must judge everything on its ascetic beauty, usefulness, its history or memories, if any, that are attached to it, consult with the mrs. and reach a unified agreement. then, and only then can a bit of extra, unneeded decor be purged.

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

hello everyone! what in the world is going on?

8:07 am

Trifioso

in which part of the world, TO?

8:07 am

Judi

:-} THanks, Trif!

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

um...in babble chat?

8:08 am

crosshair

Trif, you most certainly never need to apologize to me. You are a Babble jewel. If I said anything to indicate otherwise then it is I that am ashamed and embarrased!

8:08 am

Trifioso

I tend to unload, though crossy, and certainly this might not be the appropriate place to do that.

8:08 am

rubyfoo

Where has all this controversy been happening?

8:09 am

rubyfoo

And hello

8:09 am

72 Temple Owl

hi ruby

8:09 am

crosshair

I am king of holding forth,Trif. You have nothing to apologize for, ever.

8:09 am

rubyfoo

I've been so self-absorbed I haven't noticed anything

8:10 am

Judi

Hi, Ruby!

8:10 am

rubyfoo

This is the most supportive and wonderful place!!!!

8:10 am

Trifioso

mostly on FB - a conversation developed over how the chog has taken on a more negative tone lately, and I felt quite convicted, as I tend to whine a bit. making an effort to be more positive, which is nicer for everyone, of course. And a good lesson for me!!!

8:10 am

crosshair

I can speak for all here i am sure, when i say you are a please to talk with in here, and babble is often a lesser place without you.

8:10 am

bichon

Hello ruby, Judi, crossy, TO and Trif

8:10 am

Howdy, Bichon

8:10 am

I'm surely the whine queen!

Babble: The cheapest psycho-analysis available in the world.

8:10 am

72 Temple Owl

on the babble page?

8:11 am

rubyfoo

But no more whing from me, I am just so grateful to be alive to fight another day!

8:11 am

Trifioso

thanks crossy.....really though, it was a good lesson for me. I need to reminded of it, again and again through my life. Filters are GOOD. it is not necessary to express every emotion I am having every time I have one. :)

8:12 am

rubyfoo

(that was a portmanteau word combining whining and whinging)

8:12 am

Trifioso

ruby - "portmanteau" always makes me chuckle. It should be a shorter word, surely? Like "Abbreviation"

8:12 am

crosshair

What is babble chat if not a sharing of friendship and life? It is much, much more than just coldly pushing words back and forth, as it should be. babble is unique in thiss regard, and I would not for one moment do anything which would interfere with it in any form. ((trif))

8:13 am

Trifioso

(((crossy))) - now enough, or elegant will chase me with a rolling pin!

8:15 am

crosshair

perhaps it is me who should apologize, since I tend to ramble and , as my beloved says, my tongue is hinged in the middle so it can flap on both ends!:)

8:15 am

crosshair

it is I*

8:16 am

Judi

lol. Another quality that makes you fun at parties, Crossy.

8:17 am

rubyfoo

hmmm, a disembodied tongue

8:17 am

Trifioso

whoops, that is all the babble time for me this morning - off to educate I go! The poor kid is going to pass out when he sees my hair today.....

8:17 am

crosshair

In fact, I love Babble and those who dwell here so much, that I made a standing offer to Dr God that if for any reason he needs to abandon the game and the server it runs on tthat i would step up and keep it running as legacy ware for those who love it.

8:17 am

crosshair

lol, Judi

8:17 am

Trifioso

RUBY!!!!

8:18 am

rubyfoo

off to the race, literally

8:18 am

crosshair

lol, Judi, you just want me to host another cheese fondue/toga party...

8:19 am

Judi

Duh. Yeah!

8:22 am

crosshair

Copious amounts of booze, music, cheese fondues, bed sheets arranged in interesting ways to form clothing, things to skewer and dip in said burbling cheese. What more does one need:)

8:22 am

BzznBea

Bacon?

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't think talking about problems and illness is the source of the negativity.

8:23 am

crosshair

mm, bacon/cheddar fondues...

8:23 am

Judi

Heavens no, TO. It is natural to seek out others who have had similar life experiences (bad or good).

8:25 am

crosshair

i think of babblers as our very own library. All the experiences of many, many lifetimes are here to draw upon should the need arise. The knowledge gleaned here is often very useful and without cost. it is an amazing thing sometimes.

8:26 am

crosshair

if Babble was nothing but a word game, i would have left long ago.

8:27 am

crosshair

For that can be had anywhere on the net.

8:27 am

Judi

You can't leave. Who would make breakfast?

8:27 am

crosshair

lol...mmmm breffast...

8:28 am

BzznBea

I need some breakfast...Trying to figure out what is handy that I can get to in my chair and crutches...

Chubby Checker wrote a song that created a dance craze.

9:02 am

bichon

oh doh, ty

9:03 am

bichon

Judi, she was here and sounded optimistic

9:03 am

bichon

I don't know if she made a big decision

Good,good. Thanks, Bich.

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

To move her husband to a nursing home.

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

9:11 am

MLFAN17

I need the last column e as well lol

9:12 am

Seeya, TO!

9:14 am

MLFAN17

Weather report says strong thunderstorms and a possible tornado this afternoon. Well, there's something to look forward to.

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

9:15 am

I'm not too worried about it. I just don't want any hail to hit my car.

9:22 am

MLFAN17

9:23 am

MLFAN17

okay lets try this again .. i need last column bottom T only found the others?

9:24 am

Judi

I'd rather have a tornado carry the car away. At least the insurance settlement would replace my car.

9:25 am

crosshair

ti 5/12 is a church donation, take second letter and use sometimes vowel for ty 5/16

9:25 am

MLFAN17

yeah but tornadoes can cause damage to homes as well. In that situation would you get the value of the car as it is now?

9:25 am

Judi

Ty5/16?

9:26 am

MollyL

Last column, bottom T...to commit money, like 10% to a church, use the sometimes vowel

9:27 am

Judi

My car is a 2014 Subaru. I would hope to get full book value if it ever got totaled. Let's not think about that!

9:27 am

MLFAN17

lol sorry judi but don't worry it wont happen

9:27 am

9:52 am

Anniebrook

hi fan, ty and As ___ World Turns

9:52 am

MLFAN17

I wasn't he real thing had flavoring packet

9:52 am

Judi

Quinoa is over rated. I liked it at first. Now it's just meh. Had some quinoa pasta the other day. It was awful.

9:52 am

Dorens

bottom t is alternate spelling of ti5/12. Giving to the church. Look at the stats, high scoring letter.
and yes, I just had it last night and it was perfect.

9:52 am

rururocks

trying to cook quinoa is like trying to cook lint

9:52 am

MLFAN17

lol ruru

9:53 am

Anniebrook

and it is also like eating lint

9:53 am

Dorens

I don't like any pasta that doesn't contain wheat. But quinoa is great if you mix the right stuff in it. and ru, I disagree, respectfully.

9:53 am

rururocks

no wonder the Mayans died out

9:53 am

Judi

* tosses quinoa onto the crap pile along with kale **

9:53 am

Dorens

you don't think the conquistadores had anything to do with it?

9:53 am

MollyL

Agrees with Judi and Ru

9:53 am

rururocks

lol judi

9:53 am

harpjane

what is trueroot?

9:53 am

Dorens

I cook the quinoa in my own vegetable broth and it is very flavorful.

9:54 am

MLFAN17

dorens we didn't make anything with it

9:54 am

Judi

I think the Mayans tried to cook their quinoa over an active volcano. Oopsie.

9:54 am

Dorens

Truroot is the brand of quinoa in my cabinet. Pretty sure it came from Costco.

9:54 am

rururocks

it's too messy to cook for me doren..

9:54 am

MLFAN17

harp Ithink its a brand name

9:54 am

harpjane

oh, thnaks

9:55 am

MLFAN17

dorens yes I know its ty but I don't have the ti 5/12 either

9:55 am

Dorens

Chop up scallions, cucumber, tomatoes, walnuts, feta cheese, and whatever vegetables you have around -- mix with vinaigrette. It's delicious.

9:55 am

Judi

I suppose if you grind quinoa into a very fine flour, it would be acceptable to use in bread or pasta.

9:55 am

rururocks

walnuts will kill me

9:55 am

Dorens

MLFan, you give ten percent of your income to the church.

9:56 am

Dorens

well, the walnuts (as well as everything else) can be optional. It's just how I like it.

9:56 am

Anniebrook

9:57 am

MLFAN17

trent yes I forgot it was ty so I was confused not her fault though:) ty trent and annie

9:57 am

Judi

Ruru wears a big medallion around his neck. It says, "NO NUTS".

9:57 am

trentsnana

YW fan

9:57 am

Anniebrook

Judi, that one deserves a "groan"

9:57 am

Dorens

i've never liked the flavor of barley. dating back to the Kasha Varnishkes they used to try to make me eat.
and I love farro, which a lot of people describe as like barley. Go figure.

9:57 am

rururocks

it makes sense I am allergic to nuts doesn't it judi

9:58 am

trentsnana

There is also a Ti there

9:58 am

MLFAN17

my husband cant have any nuts or popcorn anymopre

9:58 am

Judi

Farro is yummy. Groats are also good. Nutty flavor.

9:58 am

Dorens

well ru, if you're allergic to nuts, what are you doing here in the chog? It's full of us!

9:58 am

MollyL

*Stifles comment about nut allergy*

9:58 am

phaeton

any one here?

9:58 am

Dorens

Ru has the best farro recipe, Judi!

9:59 am

Judi

Ruru lives in a no-nut bubble.

9:59 am

MLFAN17

I got the he 8/9 nbt and nbs

9:59 am

Dorens

phaeton are you kidding?

9:59 am

phaeton

ahhh...my chog was frozen. Wasn't getting any of the chat

10:00 am

Dorens

oh! okay. since there were like, 12 posts in the last minute before you asked. Frozen chog... I get it.

10:00 am

Judi

I use faro in my stuffed peppers. Nom nom!

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i had farro as a salad. did not like the texture.

10:02 am

rururocks

I can deal with the "nuts" here doren.. because I'm not eating them :D

10:02 am

Dorens

I got a couple of turnips in my CSA box yesterday and have no idea what to do with them. Maybe roast them and add to faro with some other stuff?

10:02 am

MLFAN17

speak for yourself ruru lol

10:03 am

MLFAN17

is faro a root vegetable?

10:03 am

Dorens

so you don't have air-borne nut allergy? Sometimes in school a kid has that, and can't eat at a table if someone else has peanut butter.

10:03 am

Dorens

No, it's a grain MLF

10:03 am

rururocks

you can roast them with some parsnips and carrots doren with balsamic vinegar and onions

10:03 am

Judi

Farro is a grain, MLF. As for turnips... crap pile.

10:03 am

harpjane

help with the ec's please?

10:04 am

MLFAN17

judi lol I know what a turnip is and have heard of faro just didn't know what it was

10:04 am

MollyL

Turnips were what was used for the original jack o'lanterns.

10:04 am

Dorens

I know judi, my first thought was who can I give these to. But I'm thinking roasting them will improve them.

10:04 am

rururocks

they're better mixed with other things doren

10:05 am

rururocks

I have a pork and turnip / parsnip recipe that's pretty good

10:05 am

Judi

Not a fan of the skunky tubers.

10:05 am

rururocks

really molly?

10:05 am

MLFAN17

harp one is ch 5/16 add a vowel to the front of the ch word I just mentioned its the only one I have found so far

10:05 am

crosshair

I try to avoid any vegetable that is only edible when mixed with other things:)

10:05 am

rururocks

I mostly use turnips in soups

10:05 am

Dorens

I have other things to mix them with. I just found out that you can roast the greens that surround the cauliflower. Plan on trying that today too.

10:06 am

rururocks

not big chunks doren

10:06 am

MLFAN17

i love cauliflower

10:06 am

Dorens

judging by this turnip, it would be hard to carve into a jackolantern. think I'll stick to pumpkins. Like the color too.

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

surprised you got a root veg so early. roasting does make magic.

10:07 am

Judi

Make sure all of your windows are open when you roast cauliflower. Otherwise, your house will smell horrible.

10:07 am

Dorens

just got my oven fixed this morning... the igniter was broken so I haven't been roasting much of anything.

10:08 am

Dorens

I've roasted cauliflower zillions of times... with Indian spices often, and never smelled it. Suppose if I walked out and back in again it would be different.

10:08 am

rururocks

<---agrees with Judi

10:08 am

rururocks

sulpury smells

10:08 am

MLFAN17

dorens with indian spices it probably very strong

10:08 am

MollyL

I agree with Judi too. Kind of that "dirty socks of someone with stinky feet" smell

10:09 am

rururocks

my ex..loved for me to roast cauliflower for her. I didn't like the smell

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

do you grill? that is god for vegetables.

10:09 am

harpjane

this grid has got me so crazy i am missing the common words

10:09 am

Dorens

my nose can ignore lots of smells... sometimes i think i lack sensitivity, but then something random will disgust me, reminding me that I do have a nose.

10:09 am

rururocks

Barbeque religion?

10:09 am

rururocks

I have a hyper-sensitive nose

10:10 am

Dorens

Harp, I just listed a little while ago and it made a huge difference.
I don't grill as often as I probably should.

10:10 am

MLFAN17

(sp) on that sorry

10:10 am

Judi

Grilled fruits are good. Peaches, plums. Yum!

10:11 am

rururocks

I love grilled apricots and peaches

10:11 am

rururocks

especially in salads

10:11 am

Judi

Pineapples are to die for!

10:11 am

Dorens

yes, and grilled pineapple??

10:11 am

Dorens

snap Judi. to die for for sure!

10:11 am

Judi

Delicious, Dorens. Try it.

10:11 am

rururocks

I'd have to dole out pineapples on a budget

10:12 am

Judi

Canned ones work well.

10:12 am

Dorens

Okay, now I need to get busy in the kitchen. Also making radish leaf pesto (don't laugh .. I've tried it before and it is scrumptious). There was a huge bunch of beautiful radishes yesterday too.
haha ru. good one

10:12 am

rururocks

radishes you have to wash and wash

10:12 am

MLFAN17

lol ruru

10:13 am

Judi

Another vegetable for the crap pile.

10:13 am

Dorens

i can wash and wash. not beyond my capability.
I never liked them before Judi, but am getting a taste for them now.

10:13 am

Judi

Although, I didn't know radish leaves were edible.

10:13 am

rururocks

*sees judi in the vegetable aisle in the store.. crap, crap, crap.. ok...crap... crap.. ok

10:14 am

Judi

lol. Pretty much, Ru.

10:14 am

MLFAN17

judi i don't eat many veggies either very particular here

10:14 am

rururocks

I eat a lot of veggies

10:14 am

Dorens

I've found that lots of leaves are edible. Roasting them often brings out a nice flavor. Started googling various ones depending on what comes my way, found out about the radish leaves and I love them.

10:14 am

MLFAN17

Just made it to 100

10:15 am

Dorens

I could be a vegetarian about 88% of the time.

10:15 am

Dorens

Down to 37 and the veggies are calling me. Later gators.

10:15 am

I eat lots of veggies. Just don't like certain ones. Like broccoli, but not cauliflower. Hate parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, cabbage.

My thoughts are with your friends, soodle. The vicar at my son's funeral said at the moment there is a rock in the way but gradually that rock will move to one side and life will go on. It won't be the same but it will be bearable. Trust me, I know!

On a happier note, Sarah, aka Daughter of Soodle #1 is coming home tomorrow. She hasn't been home since Easter, so fair wRning to all fatted calves!!

I have had an incident with my grandson. he has an awful temper and I bore the brunt of it tonight. I am fairly laid back but I will not be spoken to how he spoke to me. I ended up sending him home with no tea.

4:07 pm

Soodle

Oh no, Jaxx. Not another misfortune befell you?

4:08 pm

jaxx7

I have told him straight that the next time he throws things about and yells at me I will have his trousers down and tan his bum. Abuse or not.

4:11 pm

Soodle

Awkward, Jaxx. How old is he now?

4:11 pm

jaxx7

10 on 4th July.

4:13 pm

Soodle

Young enough for that sort of carry-on to be nipped in the bud. You were right to take him to task. At 16 or 17 it would be a lot harder.

4:15 pm

jaxx7

He has been abominable at school and is on his last chance. Meanwhile he has a red card he can wave when he's angry. Grandma was angry as well, perhaps that is where he gets it from.

4:17 pm

Soodle

Apologies in advance for being politically incorrect, but Red Card my ass. A swift kick up the arse is what he needs. Again apologies..

4:18 pm

MollyL

I've seen very little success with the "wave the red card when you're angry" approach to anger. It's just not what someone wants to do when they are mad.

4:19 pm

jaxx7

I agree with you wholeheartedly. he had a friend with him when he came home and after he banged the door so hard it was a wonder the hinges were still on, I shot outside and said friend moved extremely quickly to get away from the pink haired, red faced angry person.

4:19 pm

doseffing

... One simply being nosey suggestion is ... when he behaves in particularly objectionable ways to ask him how he feels ... if the only thing he says is "angry" ... then give him some more words to describe his feelings ... if the only word he knows is angry ... then he will behave as he as seen angry people behave and that's how he'll behave all the time ... if he can learn to express frustration or fear or frightened or lonely or misunderstanding or something else ... then he could learn other behaviors for those other words ... ... if it's applicable or in any way helpful you're welcome to it

4:21 pm

MollyL

Boys on the verge of puberty can be just as explosive as girls are in the same circumstances.

4:21 pm

doseffing

... only too true

4:24 pm

jaxx7

We have attended psychiatrists and psychologists and all sorts of behaviour specialists with little or no effect. I think we have spoiled him as his two siblings are both 18 and we felt he may have been overwhelmed. We have not hit him or been nasty with him yet he tried to strangle his best friend last week.

4:25 pm

MollyL

That is serious behavior, a child attempting to strangle someone.

4:26 pm

Soodle

Very well thought out Doseffing. However in the throes of a tantrum, or 'wobbler', it's very difficult to get the kid to think rationally. Jaxx - it must be terribly difficult.

4:27 pm

jaxx7

We know that. I am not sure that his alternative behaviour of throwing scissors at teachers and locking the principal in her office after flooding the school loos is any easier to cope with.

4:28 pm

Soodle

Jesus!!! Seriously, Jaxx? That is very extreme behaviour.

4:30 pm

jaxx7

Seriously, soodle. Since the family moved to the big house at the beginning of the year he seemed so much better but he has deteriorated this term.

4:30 pm

doseffing

... oh it must be done at the right time and in the throws of a tantrum isn't the right time but right after we've all calmed down may work ... ... but as you've described his behaviour his parents had better interwene with something right now and that may mean serious psychological or psychiatric counceling sooner rather than later ... ... I've got a 16 year old nephew who could have been dealt with fairly easily when he was three but now is one stupid word away from an explosion and jail time

4:32 pm

jaxx7

Oh I feel for his parents. My son had serious drug induced problems. This child gets glowing reports as he is a clever boy and yet the devil gets into him and he becomes the child from Hell

4:35 pm

Soodle

clever boy or not, Jaxx, threatening teachers with scissors, that other stuff you referred to - Doseffing is right. This kid is a time-bomb. Diffuse it/him right now. Whatever it takes. Seriously.

4:35 pm

doseffing

... this kid's just lazy and self-centred and focused only on the moment that he is in and his presence in that moment ... ... his mother still refers to him as baby boy and one day someone who is bigger and tougher and meaner than he is will do serious damage to him ... ...

4:40 pm

doseffing

... oh well ... two thirds done and outta time for now ... maybe later ... luck to all

4:40 pm

jaxx7

My daughter seems to be totally separated from reality and won't accept there is a problem. When I phoned her to send him home she said 'Oh I know, he's like that with me'. Quite frankly, I don't want to know how he is with her, I want her to accept something is wrong with him and get him the help he needs. We have been through hell with my late son, my daughter's drinking and two bouts of trouble with Ashley; I don't think I have the energy to start again. I am waiting for an op in September and I am not feeling well. I don't expect life to be easy but a few years without meetings and appointments would be nice.

4:41 pm

MollyL

I agree with Soodle. The child is a danger to himself and others and will end up seriously injuring someone, or himself if something is not done to help him.

4:43 pm

Jaxx - why are you being left to deal with this shite? Have you support from anywhere else?

4:43 pm

MollyL

It's not your job, it's his mother's job. If she refuses to acknowledge his serious problems, I hope there are some kind of social services that will intervene on the child's behalf.

4:43 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Chrissie. have you read the chog? Chez Jaxx seems to be back to square one.

4:44 pm

ChrissieDee

I have jaxx. So sorry to hear it

4:45 pm

The social services were involved but all they want to do is take him into care. The chairwoman of the child protection team was really awful and most unsympathetic.

4:54 pm

Jaxx - there comes a time when you must consider your own health & well-being. you have health issues. You must get yourself well before you can help Ashley. Please consider yourself in all of this. I'm only saying....

4:57 pm

jaxx7

Soodle, I appreciate all your concerns and I am grateful for the chance to talk it all out. I shall give it all some thought. meanwhile I am going back to the grid and take my mind off it and to stop boring you all rigid. Thanks
