*hugs rose* hello dear friend, good evening. Just here for a little bit, sitting up at the desk is still a bit too much.
2:12 am
grannyrose
as it would be too, sprite. can you lie down quietly for a little where you are?
2:12 am
VolleymomDee
(((rose))) how are you doing?
2:12 am
sprite
no, must go downstairs for that. Am trying to get all my morning meds inside, lol. it is quite the organisation.
2:12 am
VolleymomDee
sprite, did you have surgery?
2:13 am
grannyrose
hey ya dee. {{hugs}} doing fine at the mo'. had my infusion therapy last monday.
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
so sorry to hear; how are you doing?
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
hope it's helping, rose
2:13 am
sprite
I am fine, just working through the after op issues
2:14 am
grannyrose
and you dee? how are you doing? are the injections still working?
2:14 am
VolleymomDee
it takes quite awhile, sprite, so take it easy
2:14 am
sprite
will do, thanks
2:15 am
VolleymomDee
pretty good, rose; have some other things that have popped up; appt. end of next week
2:16 am
grannyrose
it's a start dee. i have decided to go through with the cortisone shots into my hips. i am trying to eliminate everything that is causing my fibromyalgia to flare up.
2:17 am
sprite
that is brave, rose
2:17 am
VolleymomDee
I think that is smart, but I have almost always gotten help from cortisone; whether it was my thumbs, knee, foot, etc.
2:18 am
grannyrose
yeah well. i hope by now they have (please excuse my language) jesus handles on the x-ray ta5s.
2:18 am
VolleymomDee
The last one in my knee did not hurt when my rheumatologist did the shot, and I noticed diminished pain in a few days.
2:18 am
sprite
indeed. Had them on the operation table and it was just brilliant
2:19 am
grannyrose
btw sprite, i found out today that my eldest has also alienated his two brothers. both of them are utterly disgusted with him and his attitudes.
2:20 am
VolleymomDee
I know pain is usually associated with the shots, but I am finding that who gives them is in direct proportion to the discomfort.
2:20 am
sprite
am sorry to hear it, rose, but it is his loss. He is wayyyy out of line.
2:20 am
grannyrose
also true dee. i am trying a different clinic this time.
2:21 am
VolleymomDee
I think it is smart to shake things up, if you are not getting help from your current providers. I truly hope they get you settled down. I know you are sick of this.
2:21 am
grannyrose
it seems he cannot brook anyone's opinion to be different to his. i dread to think what the poor de facto is going through.
2:22 am
sprite
she is a grown woman, she'll manage. Those kids though...
2:22 am
VolleymomDee
Considering medicine is still considered a practiced science, that shows his ignorance and his arrogance.
2:23 am
grannyrose
dee, i also am going to have a nerve conduction study done before the pain doc denervates the nerve.
2:23 am
VolleymomDee
what will that show?
2:24 am
grannyrose
it will show the exact nerve which is damaged and the extent of the damage.all good ammo before we go to court.
2:24 am
VolleymomDee
rose, I have missed something... I thought your court days were over.
2:25 am
sprite
am off for a whle, gonna lie down *hugs rose*
2:25 am
VolleymomDee
Rest well, Sprite!
2:26 am
grannyrose
i wish dee. they are just beginning. my lawyer is now going for 'pain and suffering'. hopefully a large enough payout for me to wave workcover goodbye.
2:26 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} honey. i am thinking of you. rest well.
2:26 am
VolleymomDee
Fingers crossed! When do you go to court?
2:28 am
grannyrose
the initial court procedure was to overturn workcovers doc's opinion that my compensable injury had run it's course and i no longer need any financial help etc from them. that is all restored now, but we have to make a move before two years are up, or workcover can start being a 'pain' again.
2:29 am
grannyrose
first stat.dec. has been drafted. we have to show that to a judge who says yea or nay as to whether i have a case.
2:31 am
VolleymomDee
It would be so much less expensive, if our health systems would own up when they are responsible, and just pay appropriately... all this court involvement makes me sick.
2:33 am
grannyrose
ditto dee.
2:34 am
VolleymomDee
What a waste of time money and resources, and your past employer is probably only disputing this, not to have a blemish on their records....
2:37 am
grannyrose
dee, do you know what the really weird thing is? if, when this all started, and i asked workcover to help me with my fibromyalgia flare-ups because of the pain they refused. if they had, this would either be totally resolved and i would still be working or i would have said, okay, i have given it a fair go, i will retire. and none of the huge expense etc would be happening.
2:39 am
VolleymomDee
Truly, truly pathetic, and our system here is becoming just as absurd. Our practice of medicine continues to deteroriate...
2:40 am
VolleymomDee
deteriorate... cannot spell tonight

I find talking to family members or friends can help me as they often reassure me that all will be okay.
5:08 am

Maybe one of your friends is willing to come with you for moral support?

72 Temple Owl
hi fan.
9:08 am
hurshy
has anyone else ever wanted to kill themselves because of paint colors?
9:10 am
MLFAN17
hurshy are you not finding what you want or cant decide what to use or debating on it with someone else?
9:10 am
72 Temple Owl
just the though of picking out paint gives me the heebie jeebies.
9:11 am
hurshy
i bought 2 gallons of a color that turned out to be hideous. then i used an online color picker tool and thought, surely i have it this time, so i bought two gallons of that and i can't live with it either. SAMPLES EXIST FOR A REASON, HURSHY!! YOU ARE SO STUPID!!!
9:12 am
MLFAN17
the place where you bought it couldn't let you have a small sample can of any paint colors?
9:12 am
hurshy
they could i just was overconfident
9:12 am
MLFAN17
hm not good
9:13 am
MLFAN17
maybe mix the two lol?
9:13 am
hurshy
that would not help, no.
9:14 am
72 Temple Owl
what is the color?
9:14 am
MLFAN17
what color family are they from?
9:14 am
hurshy
they are shades of green
9:15 am
MLFAN17
I finally found one of the 8 letter words
9:15 am
MLFAN17
so did you go lighter or darker the 2nd time hurshy?
9:15 am
hurshy
it is a bit darker but like a totally different tone
9:16 am
periwinkle
couild you add a little bit of white paint?
9:16 am
hurshy
the first one was like this horrible minty one and it like felt like you were in a hospital or asylum
9:16 am
hurshy
the second one is too bright, it's cheerful but it's just not right
9:16 am
MLFAN17
eww not a mint julep looking green?:)
9:16 am
hurshy
maybe to the second one peri, i don't know
9:16 am
hurshy
the trouble is i want about 20 samples
9:17 am
hurshy
there are TOO MANY COLORS
9:17 am
MLFAN17
wouldn't white added make it brighter not darker?
9:17 am
periwinkle
I can see where it would be confusing and frustrating
9:17 am
hurshy
it would make it lighter
9:17 am
periwinkle
there are way too many color choices
9:17 am
MLFAN17
maybe try something more toward a blue then a yellow green?
9:17 am
hurshy
and they just don't come out at all how they look online and the chip cards are too small
9:18 am
MLFAN17
and in different light and day or night they look different as well
9:20 am
MLFAN17
can I get a clue for te9 please?
9:20 am
hurshy
it is so upsetting it is causing me to be unable to find words!
9:20 am

9:21 am
MLFAN17
hurshy what about one of the green colors on the babble page?f n
9:21 am
hurshy
yeah that's it i'll go to the store and say hey match this teeny tiny box of green
9:21 am
periwinkle
what about a sage green?
9:22 am
periwinkle
some stores can match colors pretty well. altho I have never had it done
9:22 am
hurshy
see but there are about 15 shades just of sage green
9:22 am
hurshy
it is all so difficult
9:22 am
periwinkle
oh my, that would certainly confuse me
9:22 am
Uneaixoise
re matching, I think lots of places will now scan what you want to match . . .
9:22 am
periwinkle
it would give me a headache
9:23 am
hurshy
i don't have something i actually want to match tho
9:23 am
MLFAN17
we tried to have a color matched to paint already on our wall probably mixed with something else and it came out much lighter
9:23 am
hurshy
i was just joking about taking in the babble screen
9:23 am
periwinkle
could you look through some books on color and pick something. you can get books from the library on colors
9:24 am
hurshy
the key is just to get the samples, take my husband with me and say do not let me get anything but samples

10:37 am

I read an article about Duggar
10:38 am

Duggar's wife too. I agreed with all of it. She is an idiot for staying with him.
10:38 am

I have read several.. the hypocrite
10:38 am
MollyL
Especially after the child sexual abuse revelation
10:38 am

josh that is
10:38 am

I feel sorry for his wife.. yes the sexual abuse revelation would have been enough for me to dump that loser
10:39 am

He is a hypocrite, but he learned at the feet of the masters...Jim Bob and Michelle
10:40 am

sounds like an edition of national enquirer around here

Just discussing current events. I hope that is still okay.
10:40 am

Often the spouses of "perps" are in such denial that they can't stop the abuse.
10:41 am
penquis
i don't begrudge people talking about it....i just hate it... ;o)
10:41 am
MollyL
Harp, that is very true. I think there is a lot of denial going on in that situation.
10:41 am
cybernan
current events? - I thought you were talking about a bunch of rock stars
10:41 am
Trifioso
what choice does she have, really? She can't divorce him without being ostracized for doing so. She was raised with minimal education, and basically no life skills, other than to raise children and be a dutiful wife. Where is she going to go? How could she support those children herself? We have no national day care, or other support programs for her.
10:42 am
rururocks
it's a tv religious family nan.. that has crossed a lot of boundaries
10:42 am
Trifioso
here is what I read on Facebook:
10:42 am
Trifioso
I know everybody is laughing about this Josh Duggar story. Oh, a DUGGAR on Ashley Madison, it's so rich! I wish more people would talk about Anna. I normally keep things light on Facebook, but let's talk about Anna. Let me tell you: Anna Duggar is in the worst position she could possibly be in right now. Anna Duggar was crippled by her parents by receiving no education, having no work experience (or life experience, for that matter) and then was shackled to this loser because his family was famous in their religious circle. Anna Duggar was taught that her sole purpose in life, the most meaningful thing she could do, was to be chaste and proper, a devout wife, and a mother. Anna Duggar did that! Anna Duggar followed the rules that were imposed on her from the get-go and this is what she got in reward- a husband who she found out, in the span of 6 months, not only molested his own sisters, but was unfaithful to her in the most humiliating way possible. While she was fulfilling her "duty" of providing him with four children and raising them. She lived up to the standard that men set for her of being chaste and Godly and in return, the man who demanded this of her sought women who were the opposite. "Be this," they told her. She was. It wasn't enough.
What is Anna Duggar supposed to do? She can't divorce because the religious environment she was brought up would blame her and ostracize her for it. Even if she would risk that, she has no education and no work experience to fall back on, so how does she support her kids? From where could she summon the ability to turn her back on everything she ever held to be sacred and safe? Her beliefs, the very thing she would turn to for comfort in this kind of crisis, are the VERY REASON she is in this predicament in the first place. How can she reconcile this? Her parents have utterly, utterly failed her. Think of this: somewhere, Anna Duggar is sitting in prayer, praying not for the strength to get out and stand on her own, but for the strength to stand by this man she is unfortunately married to. To lower herself so that he may rise up on her back.
As a mother of daughters, this makes me ill. Parents, WE MUST DO BETTER BY OUR DAUGHTERS. Boys, men, are born with power. Girls have to command it for themselves. They aren't given it. They assume it and take it. But you have to teach them to do it, that they can do it. We HAVE to teach our daughters that they are not beholden to men like this. That they don't have to marry a man their father deems "acceptable" and then stay married to that man long, long after he proved himself UNACCEPTABLE. Educate them. Empower them. Give them the tools they need to survive, on their own if they must. Josh Duggar should be cowering in fear of Anna Duggar right now. Cowering. He isn't, but he should be. He should be quaking in fear that the house might fall down around them if he's in the same room as she. Please, instill your daughters with the resolve to make a man cower if he must. To say "I don't deserve this, and my children don't deserve this." I wish someone had ever, just once, told Anna she was capable of this. That she knew she is. As for my girls, I'll raise them to think they breathe fire.

When you have long hair, grey is an entirely different thing to deal with. The word crone comes to mind.
11:06 am

Trif, you just have to greet 50 warmly and say "I am not entering the BETTER half of my life"
