Good morning, everybody ((sprite))

hiya Une :) *hugs*

5:14 am

Howdy, Babs

5:14 am

sprite

hello Babs

5:15 am

sprite

lol, imagine finding a zl word for starters... I am worried about myslf

5:16 am

sprite

how are you and the mrs doing, crossy? And Une, how are you today?

5:16 am

crosshair

I am more worried because it is the ONLY z word that I have found :)

5:17 am

Uneaixoise

ok, spritey, and you?

5:17 am

sprite

lol crossy :)

5:17 am

sprite

I am fine, thanks. Feeling good, mostly, and slowly regaining my energy levels.

5:17 am

crosshair

We are all fine, Sprite. Mrs is doing well and the offspring continues to eat 3 times his own weight in food on a weekly basis :)

5:18 am

sprite

hehehe time to kick him out and make him earn his own way, crossy ;)

5:18 am

crosshair

problem is once you feed them they keep coming back :(

5:19 am

sprite

ain't that the truth

5:19 am

crosshair

for food and laundry services

5:22 am

crosshair

Interesting day yesterday. Was able to apply for a spot as a freelance journalist for a small town newspaper in a Village near here. Have to love the name. it is officially know as "The Town of the Blue Mountains." Not sure of the paper yet, but there as several small dailies and quarterlies in the region. :)

5:22 am

sprite

and money loans

5:22 am

Uneaixoise

how cool, crossy! :-)

5:22 am

crosshair

Very cool :)

5:22 am

sprite

oh wow, keeping fingers crossed for you, crossy

5:23 am

crosshair

I would be a dream position. self-employed and I can slot it in as my schedule requires--barring deadlines that is ;)

5:23 am

crosshair

More human interest stuff than anything else.

5:24 am

sprite

sounds really perfect. They'd be lucky to have you, crossy. Just remember to keep your sentences simple ;)

5:24 am

Uneaixoise

does sound perfect indeed :-)

5:25 am

crosshair

Yup. paper writing is a whole different kettle of fish. More a series of back to back two-line sentences using key information.

5:25 am

Babs1

how do you find local jobs these days in your area, crossy? newspaper, onlne?

5:26 am

sprite

exactly. And not trying to be smart or inventive or literary, just plain ole good language

5:26 am

crosshair

Online works very, very well in this area. and you hit the govt job banks as well

5:27 am

crosshair

Yup. I break out my Hemingway in this kind of writing, Sprite :)

5:27 am

sprite

good man, crossy :)

5:27 am

crosshair

I am a firm believer in the "Iceberg" theory. :)

5:28 am

sprite

should work fine here indeed. i really really hope you get the job.

5:28 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:28 am

crosshair

That can be my crossy tidbit of the day!!

5:28 am

crosshair

If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing. â€“Ernest Hemingway

5:29 am

sprite

hiya sukee :)

5:29 am

crosshair

Howdy, Sukee :)

5:30 am

sukee

When I was younger I hated Hemingway (even got an embarrassing letter published in Entertainment Weekly about it), but I have come to appreciate him and find my writing is similar to his in style of brevity :)

5:30 am

crosshair

..of course when you edit with a shotgun, you tend to be the final word on that topic :(

5:30 am

Uneaixoise

hey sukee :-)

5:30 am

sukee

Hi sprite, crossy, une.

5:30 am

Uneaixoise

crossy LOL

5:31 am

sprite

:D

5:31 am

crosshair

I often apply this theory of omission when working on a paper :)

5:31 am

sprite

hah, found a 2nd z word

5:32 am

crosshair

Over-read, over-explore, over-research, then cull the heck out of it.

5:33 am

sprite

and the other two. Finally.

5:33 am

crosshair

Write it all first--100,000 word epic, then hack and slash it down to 350 pages or so and poof! you have a novel :)

5:34 am

sprite

lol

5:35 am

crosshair

Well...not exactly "poof". I have been editing mine since last September. lol

5:36 am

sprite

editing is the most time consuming and tedious part of writing... and often the most important

5:36 am

crosshair

Like the man said "Write drunk, edit sober." I have been dry for a long, long time :)

5:38 am

sprite

good advice, grin

5:40 am

Howdy Car, Scrabby :)

5:43 am

bichon

5:43 am

sprite

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Of course this area was originally settled by Dutch and the Holland Land Company.

5:45 am

Scrabbler

My title to my home and land shows all prior owners and goes all the way back to... The Holland Land Company!

5:45 am

sprite

yayyyy

5:46 am

crosshair

We have Holland marsh here :) is is some of the most fertile growing soil in the entire province :)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Yesterday I went to another school, a tiny school with just 280 kids from pre-K to grade 12, and when I asked a 9 a year boy if I could check his "private parts" he said, "Oh, man, that is so embarrassing, can I close my eyes?" Haha.

5:47 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet!

5:47 am

car.eeyore

so cute

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Silly boy, it's YOUR body. But he didn't want to watch ME check him.

5:49 am

sukee

Never saw it but today is the day mentioned in Back to the Future 2 :)

5:49 am

sprite

oh wow, that is funny, sukee :) Didn't realise

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that day of the future is here.

5:50 am

5:51 am

5:53 am

aebmusica

hey sprite

5:53 am

sprite

it is like the first one, but with a different consonant after the i

5:53 am

sukee

aeb, do you have the FR that is another name for inlet?

5:53 am

sprite

nm it is not. Refuses to take, lollll

5:54 am

aebmusica

I can't see clearly or well today. Left eye is bandaged up from cataract surgery.

5:54 am

car.eeyore

aeb! Oh my! hope your recovery is quick and uneventful

5:54 am

sprite

does not make for comfortable babbling. I hope it all went well, aeb

5:54 am

aebmusica

I know that word, but it is not in the grid.

5:55 am

aebmusica

ty ........it will be(I hope)

5:55 am

car.eeyore

Ummm, sukee....I don't see an F next to an R in the grid.

5:55 am

car.eeyore

Should that be fi?

5:55 am

lbdawger

good morning, everyone! stats for the lone E fifth column?

5:55 am

car.eeyore

I'm so easily confused in the morning :(

5:55 am

Scrabbler

5:55 am

sukee

Sorry, yes FI :)

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Hi dawg.

5:56 am

car.eeyore

Hi Dawg...on that one too

5:56 am

rolin

en8... to cover with a burial cloth

5:56 am

sprite

ah right. fi5/18 the 2nd. What the coastline of sweden is famous for

5:56 am

sukee

So, now been almost a week before I needed any pain killers.

5:56 am

lbdawger

hiya, scrabs, car, sukee, aeb, sprite, rolin...et. al

5:56 am

car.eeyore

ty rolin

5:56 am

sprite

hiya dawg :)

5:56 am

Scrabbler

TY, Ro

5:56 am

sprite

and hi rolin too

5:57 am

sukee

or since.

5:57 am

rolin

hi all...

5:57 am

sprite

wow that is good, sukee. Progress is being made

5:57 am

lbdawger

ty, rolin

5:57 am

sukee

Still some pain, but tolerable.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, sukee.

5:58 am

sukee

A little withdrawal from gabapenton

5:58 am

sukee

I was ms cranky pants for a few days.

5:59 am

aebmusica

scrabbs... the doctor is to remove it today at 11:15 AM.

5:59 am

sprite

you're entitled, sukee.

6:00 am

sukee

Especially when I still have pain and had to take a holter test this past weekend.

6:00 am

sprite

even more entitled to be cranky then.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Acute and chronic pain will do that. I transitioned to chronic migraines over the summer--almost every day. I started topiramate 4 weeks a go and in the last 3 wks have had just 3 bad migraines. Headache-free days are wonderful.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Yay, aeb.

6:01 am

sprite

ouch scrabs. Not fun. Glad you are managing.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

And car has chronic back pain.

6:01 am

car.eeyore

A holter monitor during the playoffs?!?!? No fair!

6:02 am

car.eeyore

Oh Scrabs...I feel your pain. I'm so sorry

6:02 am

car.eeyore

Yes, the idiocy of the insurance company continues...

6:02 am

aebmusica

ty scrabbs..but I still can (see) the fi5/18(the 2nd one).

6:02 am

sukee

Getting older is no fun, hoping this will not leave me with chronic pain.

6:03 am

sprite

aeb: F*** Escort. Insert the i.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

The summer was awful, but I still hiked, and biked and kayaked, despite my pain. But, damn, I was tired of having a migraine everyday.

6:03 am

aebmusica

scrabbs as a fellow migraine...I wish you MORE pain-free days.

6:03 am

sukee

Think of a Scandinavian word for inlet with alternate spelling. It makes me think of Monty Python.

6:03 am

sprite

poor car. I know. Chronic pain is hell.

6:03 am

sukee

Good for you scrabs.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

The goal of insurance companies is to cut costs and save money, NOT to give the very best care to patients.

6:04 am

sprite

fireflies. Nice chewy grid

6:04 am

Scrabbler

TY, sukee

6:04 am

car.eeyore

I finally got a call...they have approved 1 shot. I have 2 sacroiliac joints, so now I have to choose which one to inject and then be lopsided...again.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

TY, aeb.

6:04 am

car.eeyore

Congrats, Sprite!

6:04 am

sukee

Have to go get ready, hoping my Jays win tonight. Either that or it's go home.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Car, you are getting PT, right?

6:04 am

car.eeyore

Good Luck Jays! HAGD sukee!

6:04 am

sprite

*hugs* to you all!

6:05 am

car.eeyore

HAGD Sprite!

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Ridiculous, Car. So inane!

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Bye sprite and sukee.

6:05 am

car.eeyore

Yup. I told them that unless they approve me for two, I'm not going to go through this again.

6:05 am

car.eeyore

They can then provide me with a list of alternative treatments that they will cover.

6:06 am

car.eeyore

If I had asked for drugs, I would have had 4 refills by now.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Maybe they need to learn anatomy.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Do you have a specialist calling the insurance company for you?

6:08 am

car.eeyore

They have the written prescription from the Neuro-Spine doctor.

6:09 am

car.eeyore

My guess is that the doctor at the pain clinic just wanted to get me something so they put in for 1 injection.

6:09 am

car.eeyore

That's what they did in July...just the left side...and I have been literally lopsided since and now have no relief at all

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Subpar treatment.

6:10 am

car.eeyore

Grossly subpar

6:10 am

car.eeyore

I would like to go to another pain clinic to see if they can do better.

6:10 am

car.eeyore

However, the other pain clinic is booked months out

6:10 am

car.eeyore

I'm F-ed no matter where I turn

6:10 am

car.eeyore

OK...enough of this. moving on

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Can you go to a hospital-based clinic?

6:11 am

car.eeyore

That's the one that is booked out months

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I have to get ready for work. I have a PA-student with me for the next 4 wks. I enjoy teaching but it mean I will be very busy and will fall behind and get stressed. Well, I don't need to get stressed. I can accept falling behind as a trade-off for teaching my former patient.

6:13 am

car.eeyore

Good Luck with that! Enjoy the process as much as you can! How fun to see a former patient grow and be inspired by you! :)

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I have had sacri-iliitis many times and it did eventually resolve with time and stretching.

6:14 am

car.eeyore

I really did mean "Good Luck"...it looks snarky now that I see it

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Taylor is a nice young lady, now 22.

6:14 am

car.eeyore

Wow.

6:14 am

car.eeyore

You are amazing!!!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day.

6:15 am

car.eeyore

Inspiring the doctors of tomorrow.... :)

6:15 am

Scrabbler

But I do recall the severe pain, especially during the night.

6:15 am

car.eeyore

I'll be fine. Thank you for all of your counsel. Send me a bill

6:19 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito! fun grid

6:19 am

car.eeyore

Congrats DAwg!

6:19 am

crosshair

Reading back.. What a pain. We let doctors decide what medication is best--not insurance companies. though we do default to generic sometimes so as to not have to pay for the name only.

6:20 am

car.eeyore

Insurance calls all the shots here.

6:20 am

crosshair

:(

6:21 am

TheByzantine

and the pharnaceuticals

6:21 am

TheByzantine

m

6:21 am

car.eeyore

Yes

6:22 am

crosshair

mm, yes. I wonder what new drug has been risen in cost by 5000% today?

6:23 am

car.eeyore

gross, isn't it?

6:23 am

car.eeyore

Wow...Byzantine...is that Heath Ledger?

6:23 am

crosshair

Canada was recently sued by U.S pharma for wanting to lower the price of a certain drug :(

6:24 am

TheByzantine

Sorry, I have no idea.

6:25 am

crosshair

the drug in question is Soliris. Crazy

6:25 am

car.eeyore

Pretty sure it is. Incredible.

6:25 am

car.eeyore

really?

6:26 am

crosshair

Imagine, 700k a year for your medication :(

6:27 am

car.eeyore

everyone around the world should have easy access to any medication that a doctor deems necessary. I am so naive...I know

6:28 am

crosshair

Seems it is the only drug that Alexion produces--at that price I imagine it is the only one they need to produce as it is a lifetime medication.

6:29 am
