it's pretty devastating here for anyone in Cobb or Middletown
12:59 am

we went through that in the Bitterroot in 2000, although not anywhere near the scope of loss. we had bigger fires but fewer structrues.

hi sweetie, I am fine, my chat was frozen
4:01 am
sprite
good evening, my friend, and *hugs* How was your day?
4:02 am
grannyrose
oh phew!!! i thought you weren't well or in pain. gave me a bit of a fright.
4:03 am
grannyrose
your not going to believe this, but i have commenced a major clean up. i am hoping i haven't given myself a day of grief tomorrow.
4:03 am
sprite
no I am fine. Slept well again.
4:03 am
grannyrose
i always react to steroids like this. my left hip is wonderful.
4:04 am
sprite
oh rose! Please don't overdo things... you know it isn't the way to go, however tempting it is to use the energy as soon as you have it. Babysteps, remember?
4:05 am
grannyrose
yeah, i know!! plus the new mask for my CPAP gave me the best sleep for a long time without the aid of drugs.
4:05 am
sprite
phantome: accuse
4:06 am
sprite
oh that is wonderful, rose. But still... please try and be wiser than storming off on a day of cleaning!
4:07 am
grannyrose
i wanted to explain why i am not panicking about the central sleep apnoea. it's because even when i am not pulling the air into my lungs, the machine pushes air through the lung tissue barrier into my bloodstream.
4:08 am
grannyrose
the longest episode was 17 seconds. not too long. if they become longer i will certainly be asking questions.
4:08 am
sprite
yeah I know, darling. But I wasn't sure about what you said about the machine not being able to diagnose some episodes. Does it still work when it doesn't know what's up?
4:09 am
sprite
17 secs? Sounds too long to me. Go ask questions!
4:09 am
sprite
jeezzz where is crossy when we need him! He knows all about this.
4:10 am
grannyrose
yes, sprite. i have it set on continuous, not on increase when necessary.
4:10 am
sprite
ok sweetie. I will not worry too much then.
4:13 am
grannyrose
when i first tried a machine which lowered and increased the pressure when an event happened i woke up exhausted again. that is why i have the machine set on continuous. the machines do not change the air pressure for hypopneas which is the other type of episode i have. and i have way too many in a row to have variable pressure set.
4:13 am
grannyrose
and i will be discussing the 'unknown' episodes with my gp.
4:14 am
sprite
ok, sounds good to me. When you wake up rested, I guess it is doing its job.
4:14 am
sprite
halfway and already out of speed. Tricky grid, isn't it?
4:15 am
grannyrose
oh, and my occ. rehab. bloke rang me today. to my absolute horror i completely forgot i had an appointment yesterday. i was so apologetic. he said, rose, with all your issues, you are an inspiration to me. i have clients who have only one issue to deal with and you leave them standing.
4:16 am
sprite
wooooot that is good. At least he is fully on your side, even though he makes you jump through hoops that are rather unnecessary
4:16 am
grannyrose
it is tricky sweetie. too many a's in it.
4:16 am
sprite
yeah and all those consonants in the middle, lol
4:17 am
sprite
I keep wanting to shake the grid
4:18 am
grannyrose
well, he has to show that he is doing his job, and i have to show i am making some effort. attending appointments when booked is one way. he also tells me he is frustrated by workcover's expectations that i find a job.
4:19 am
sprite
ok that is a good thing. You just keep on applying and carefully explaining what is needed for you to be able to work. Firms will not want to touch you with a cattlestick.
4:19 am
sprite
cattleprod. Whatever.
4:20 am
grannyrose
both work for me... lolll
4:21 am
sprite
yeah well if you can find a job, workcover can rightly claim that their carelessness hasn't given you that much damage. It would really help their case.
4:22 am
grannyrose
honey, i am becoming very good at dragging my heels. *giggle*
4:24 am
grannyrose
so are you still trying six small meals/day?
4:24 am
sprite
forgive me for being blunt, honey, but actually you are not. Dragging your heels, I mean. You really cannot possibly work. Can't wait until the law suit is done and you can stop jumping through hoops for them.
4:25 am
sukee
Good morning.
4:25 am
sprite
pfff yeah am trying but not really succeeding.
4:25 am
sprite
hiya sukee :)
4:25 am
grannyrose
thanx for your support and understanding, honey.
4:25 am
grannyrose
cooee sukee
4:26 am
grannyrose
sprite, do you think you are losing weight already?
4:26 am
sukee
Hi Rose and sprite.
4:26 am
sprite
am sure of it, rose. Belly is already smaller than it was.
4:27 am
sprite
how are you doing, sukee?
4:27 am
grannyrose
*sigh* i am so proud of you, and pleased that you are seeing a result already.
4:27 am
sukee
Sore, woken with an awful pain in my back around 4.
4:28 am
sprite
thanks darling :)
4:28 am
sukee
The pain killers work for most of the time.
4:28 am
grannyrose
*gentle hugs* sukee, that is awful.
4:28 am
sprite
aw that is horrible, sukee. Do you know what caused it?
4:29 am
sukee
There is a blister right on the large muscle. I don't know if you know but I have shingles.
4:29 am
sukee
The rash on my back is not bad but just where it is located.
4:29 am
grannyrose
oh no sukee. how ghastly for you. it is such a dreadfully painful disease. how long have you had them?
4:30 am
sukee
Well, pain for 2 weeks, the rash for 1 week.
4:30 am
sprite
oh how painful! And not easily treated either.
4:30 am
sukee
I got meds in time to stop is spreading. It's mostly on my bra line on the front and back.
4:31 am
grannyrose
burn the bras, sukee
4:32 am
sukee
They gave me an anti-viral which they say should be given within 72 hours of the rash, I went to emergency as soon as I saw a rash starting. They also gave me pain pills that are helping for most of the time and I take Advil 3 times a day too.
4:32 am
sprite
yeah burn the bras. And *very gentle healing vibes* to your poor body
4:32 am
sukee
I went out without a bra for the first time last week :) I dont' car what people think.
4:33 am
sukee
It's just the pain killers seem to run out in the middle of the night.
4:33 am
grannyrose
sukee, if it doesn't offend you , i would like to pray for you.
4:33 am
sukee
Sure, I'll take any help you can offer :)
4:33 am
sprite
they probably do, sukee. It might be worth it to set an alarm and take an extra painkiller.
4:34 am
sprite
then you're in my thoughts and prayers as well :)
4:34 am
grannyrose
*giggling*
4:34 am
sukee
It says to only take 3 Tylenol a day and I do that. Don't want to cause any other problems. I think I'll ask the doctor about that.
4:34 am
sukee
I mean Advil.
4:34 am
grannyrose
sukee, i always have my pain-killers beside me at night, and a sippy bottle of water
4:35 am
grannyrose
sukee, what strength are your advil?
4:35 am
sprite
yeah, good idea to ask the doctor. But usually there is a margin.. when they say 3 times a day, you can safely take 4 times.
4:36 am
sukee
I wish they had given me more oxycodone/tylenol mix, those worked great. They only gave me 16 and they are always concerned about oxycodone I guess.
4:36 am
sukee
They are 400s
4:36 am
sprite
yeah, they are afraid of you becoming dependent on them. It is rotten stuff. But very very effective.
4:37 am
grannyrose
okay, you can take 16oomgs in 24 hours, for a short period. in other words for only a few days at a time
4:37 am
grannyrose
so if the pain does wake you through the night, start your 6 hour count from then.
4:38 am
sukee
I had to cancel a writing brief I had this month because I just can't sit at the computer for long.
4:38 am
sukee
Good idea Rose.
4:39 am
sprite
yeah, focus on getting well again, sukee. All the rest will simply have to wait. Forcing yourself to sit and suffer is not the way to go.
4:39 am
sukee
One good thing is the rash does seem to be lessening and there has been no weeping that I have noticed. I only have two blisters that have not burst or disappeared. They are the ones causing pain
4:40 am
sprite
may they disappear soon too
4:40 am
sukee
The cats love all the time I am spending on the couch :)
4:40 am
grannyrose
i wonder if a cold pack might help sukee?
4:40 am
sprite
hehehe yeah our pets love it when we are with them so much
4:40 am
sukee
I heard not to use an ice pack on shingles.
4:41 am
grannyrose
ahhh, okay.
4:41 am
sprite
fireflies. Tricky little grid!
4:41 am
sukee
It would be nice because the rash sure generates heat.
4:42 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!!
4:42 am
sukee
I am glad I have my ipad, so I can stay online on the couch :)
4:42 am
grannyrose
sukee i just checked. cold packs okay, not ice packs
4:43 am
sprite
maybe not an icepack, but just a cool pack? put a wet towel in the fridge for an hour, wrap it in plastic and a dishtowel, and then put it on your back?
4:43 am
grannyrose
lollll, or what sprite said
4:43 am
sukee
I actually have a small pack that can be frozen or just cooled.
4:44 am
sprite
hehehe I am gonna hug you both and get moving here. Sukee, all the best. Rose, sleep well and take it easy, ya hear?
4:44 am
sukee
First pain pill of the day taken, should ease things a bit.
4:44 am
grannyrose
i hear sweetie. xoxox dearest. enjoy your day
4:44 am
sprite
even better, sukee, less trouble using a coolpack.
4:48 am
grannyrose
sukee, i hope you are able to sleep again. time for me to go too. xoxox
4:48 am
sukee
oops, I have used one of the words in the grid repeatedly :)
4:49 am
sukee
Take care Rose.

6:15 am

I already passed halfway. Yes, after a cold, rainy weekend summer has returned.
6:16 am
crosshair
Indeed. We got down to 9C on Sunday I think it was.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
And now I must get ready for work at the Indian Reservation. I buy gas there every Tuesday--5 cents off already inexpensive price.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
Brr, it felt like November. I was miserable--not ready to say goodbye to summer yet.
6:16 am
crosshair
Very nice. We are at a dollar a litre or 4 bucks a gallon and count ourselves lucky
6:17 am

Amen to that Scrabby. Slept in pj's last night
6:17 am

Bye, kids.
6:17 am

tc Scrabbs
6:17 am
bichon
crossy, you pay $4 a gallon. That's a lot
6:18 am
crosshair
not really. Our high was !.32 a litre not long ago.
6:18 am
crosshair
it's how we pay for other important things anyways, so we moan and groan and buy it.
6:19 am
crosshair
The U.K was around $2.00 a litre once you convert the pound, so we count our blessings
6:20 am
bichon
When we were in Norway, they paid a lot for gas. And they own all those oil reserves
6:20 am
crosshair
Yup. Money for other govt services.
6:21 am
crosshair
Same with our sin taxes. Much higher than some, less than others
6:22 am
bichon
So we have low gas prices, but look at all the poor, homeless and hungry people we have
6:23 am
bichon
sa 5/10, pls
6:23 am
crosshair
Think for example that our aussie friends are paying 15+ for a pack of smokes at the corner store:)
6:24 am
bichon
Something I don't have to worry about. Good, let them support other people
6:24 am
crosshair
each country decides their own way to fill the coffers:)
6:26 am
crosshair
For example, we do not have toll highways/roads. but we do have the 407 wish is a private highways tied in with the govt skimming from the top;)
6:27 am
crosshair
I have never used it, but it is a good shortcut for some to the city
6:29 am
bichon
We haven't had tolls here in CT ever since there was a major accident at a toll station. They are now thinking of bringing it back now there is FastTrac
6:31 am
crosshair
I know they have been toying with the idea of tolls further south of us, but we shall see.
6:32 am
crosshair
For example, our #407 does not use toll stations, but rather electronic transponders that work in conjunction with cameras placed at regular intervals along the highway for automatic billing in the mail
6:33 am
crosshair
You get a transponder issued to you and you clip it to the visor,and the system can track you at all times while you use the road
6:35 am
bichon
That's exactly what we have. We don't use it much, but it's great when we need it
6:36 am
crosshair
So, the know-how is there. you can be sure people at the top are thinking hard about putting it on the big highways:/
6:39 am
bichon
The thing is. CT doesn't care about tolls for residents, but for all the people passing through the state
6:40 am
crosshair
hard to be that specific here, so I imagine everyone would get dinged:)
6:40 am
crosshair
Tought the 407 is specifically aimed at those in a hurry to get to Toronto
6:44 am

Interesting tidbit of the day there is one highway in the U.S that is actually in metric and uses kilometers it is Interstate #19 from Tucson, Arizona, down to Mexico. it is the last holdover for the failed attempt to integrate the metric system into the United states.

What happened with the screaming kid, Scrabs?
9:23 am
Scrabbler
His grandmother gave him a brownie for breakfast and he was happy.
9:24 am
Trifioso
so this was fun: Wednesday of last week we broke the kids in English class into groups of three or four, and had them fill out a sheet on Literary Naturalism, in order to do a presentation today. Thursday, Friday - more group work. Today = presentation time. One kid just sat there. When the teacher asked "Brendan, who were you working with?" he looked right at him and answered "I didn't have group." ASSHOLE
9:25 am
Scrabbler
Irresponsible, apathetic kid.
9:26 am
Trifioso
I could not believe it.
9:27 am
Trifioso
I NEVER would have done that, back when God was a boy, and I was his age
9:41 am
Scrabbler
That boy has not been taught about responsibility and respect. Sad situation. Not being prepared for adulthood.
9:43 am
Scrabbler
And I am sure his parents allow him to be in charge at home--no rules or expectations.
9:44 am
Scrabbler
These families and kids are part of an epidemic.
9:46 am
Trifioso
I don't know him, so I can't say. I think he just thinks he is a hilarious badass.
9:47 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I bet that is his modus operandi.
9:49 am

Good Morning Everyone. could someone tell me why spam isn't a word these days?
11:35 am

i was wondering that too...
11:35 am
amelu0218
probably still considered proper noun based on the "meat" product.
11:36 am

Poor Enable. Too old to be helpful. :-(

There are some cultures that really like spam; it's used a lot in Hawaii
11:49 am
TraderKate
poi stuffed spam fritters?
11:49 am
72 Temple Owl
it is. of course, they get a fresh meat choice as well
11:50 am
TraderKate
sounds like you have a well sticked pantry there. Up here, most food banks do not have fresh meats !
11:50 am
TraderKate
stocked...
11:51 am
Nef
IDK, Kate, I've neever been there. But I've been to the Spam Museum in Austin, MN and they say that Hawaii has continued to be the largest consumers of Spam since WWII.
11:52 am
TraderKate
there is a well known business news tv personality up here... her mother makes some spam thing she just loves.. can't rmember the recipe exactly, but cube/fry spam with onions add a jar of cheezwhiz...
11:54 am
Nef
Um, That's interesting (That's MN speak for yuk)
11:55 am
TraderKate
the sound of it didn't tickle my taste buds either.. but it was her childhood comfort food i guess...
11:57 am
Nef
I wonder if that was a dip? I *maybe* could picture it as a chip dip; but cheezwhiz &spam as a meal sounds horrid
11:59 am
TraderKate
no, it was hot... stir until cheezwhiz melted... think it went over boiled/fried potato cubes..
11:59 am
Nef
I still think I'll skip that one.
12:01 pm

Well, I got my NBT and NBS, Dental appointment in 1/2 hour; so I'll be back this evening.
