Lizlin
Sounds wonderful. Just what you need.
2:03 am
Lizlin
How did your concert go?
2:04 am
sprite
it went pretty well, considering my voice was still a bit raspy. The audience went very quiet, which is a good sign. Lots of nice reactions too :)
2:04 am
sprite
are you fully recovered from your fall?
2:04 am
Lizlin
Fantastic!
2:05 am
Lizlin
99.9% I reckon. An occasional pulling feeling. Did pretty much a full gym circuit today for the first time since before. Feel OK now - so that's good.
2:06 am
sprite
very glad to hear it. It was a nasty fall. Yay you for getting the gym back on track already!
2:06 am

2:26 am
rubyfoo
This is the coldest one so far but the predicted heavy snow turned into a very light dusting
2:26 am
Lizlin
Grrr! I looked for that backslash n - didn't notice it!
2:26 am
Lizlin
You need to come here - heatwave.
2:26 am
sprite
two of them in the first link, Liz, grin. Babble chog puts them in.
2:27 am
rubyfoo
Still having trouble with the PC but I'm getting used to the laptop
2:27 am
Lizlin
I know but because it was linked to other letters, I missed it.
2:27 am
sprite
yeah it is very cold here as well. Quite sudden. Brrrrr.
2:27 am
Lizlin
I see it in both links now.
2:27 am
rubyfoo
At least I can play a little and see you guys!

Did you sort out the language problems, Ruby?
2:32 am
rubyfoo
Language is sorted, bputerut there are still probs with both com
2:33 am
Lizlin
Hope you get it sorted soon. How are you doing and how's Burt doing?

2:35 am
rubyfoo
Isaw B on Friday and he is in a sorry state but still knows me and he continues to eat well but he falls a lot
2:36 am
Lizlin
Good about knowing you and eating; not so good about the falling. Are you happy with the care in the home?
2:37 am
rubyfoo
I'm OK, mostly controlling the pain, so can't complain
2:37 am
Lizlin
It all takes so long. Controlling the pain is very important though and I'm happy that it's mostly OK.
2:37 am
rubyfoo
The home is clean and fancy, but more imperssonal than the other one and it's much closer
2:38 am
Lizlin
That's mostly good then. It's especially good that it's closer - so much easier for you.
2:39 am
rubyfoo
My only problem is morphine's side effects, but that's nothing nez
2:40 am
sprite
sorry about that. Back now.
2:40 am
rubyfoo
and I can't see, to gain any weight, so I look skeletal and ancient
2:40 am
Lizlin
I guess it's a matter of weighing up the positives against the negatives. No pain is a very huge positive.
2:40 am
Lizlin
WB Sprite.
2:41 am
sprite
keeping the pain bearable is a good thing indeed
2:42 am
rubyfoo
wbj sprite.. Boy, do I miss this!

Although it's cold, this has beeen the sunniest Nov I can remember
2:43 am
Lizlin
Almost time for dinner here, so you'll finish before me.

2:44 am
rubyfoo
I haven't started the grid yet, still trying to get warm and re-connect with yoou folks
2:44 am

It's making a small effort to rain here right now - we really could do with the rain.
2:44 am
Lizlin
It's good to catch up with you Ruby.
2:44 am
Lizlin
BTW I love the various photos you've been sending.
2:46 am
rubyfoo
When the sky is clear, it gets pmuch colder at night but the sun wams up the house in the afternoon and the sunshne makes me happier

2:57 am
rubyfoo
All news is better than no nezs!
2:58 am
Lizlin
The only thing you missed with me, is Sprite's reference, that I slipped in the kitchen and bruised my ribs. Painful for quite a while but pretty much OK now.
2:59 am
sprite
found the other 8 at last, Liz. Do you want stats?
3:00 am
Lizlin

3:00 am
Lizlin
I couldn't believe how long it took to feel better.
3:01 am

20 some yeqrs ago, I fell and broke ' ribs and when the paun hit; I thought I was dying
3:02 am
Lizlin
I think hubby was more concerned about all the broken glass around me! After he'd checked I was OK, of course.
3:02 am
grannyrose
the problem with b roken ribs is you can't take a deep breath.
3:02 am
Lizlin
He kept telling me not to move and I couldn't think why.
3:02 am
sprite
a couple of years back, I was coughing for so long and so hard, I broke a rib. It was hell, especially combined with coughing.
3:03 am
Lizlin
Or laugh but worst was sneezing.
3:03 am
sprite
I hope he was concerned you'd cut yourself, Liz
3:04 am
Lizlin
That was his concern but I sort of forgot about the glass bottle I'd been carrying and had realised that I could move OK, so wasn't aware of the glass.
3:04 am
sprite
good thing your love was there to remind you, Liz
3:04 am
Lizlin
It certainly was.
3:05 am
Lizlin
And to pick me up - I think I was a bit shocked.
3:06 am
periwinkle

Trifioso
god almighty....im in the library with a bunch of students who did not do their weekend homework, and have to do it now. I am two seconds away from jumping out the damn window. They aren't even TRYING - "Is Atticus Finch a girl?" "What's the Radley Place?" "I can't find where they tell us who 'Maycomb" is!"
7:48 am
Trifioso
READ THE BOOK
7:48 am
Trifioso
and hello friends!
7:49 am
Good Enough
OMG that's crazy trif!
7:49 am
Trifioso
its mostly irritating. Do they honestly think I can't figure out that they didn't read it?
7:50 am
Good Enough
I'd want to shout out answers even in the midst of my frustration
7:50 am
Trifioso
pretty much
7:51 am
Trifioso
I know that it's not the easiest text in the world, but seriously?
7:52 am
Babs1
just an idea to address where theyhow about having them write down or discuss what would motivate them to do their homework.
7:52 am
Trifioso
who is maycomb?
7:53 am
Babs1
just thinking to engage them at their point of resistance and get them opening up about what's up in their world where they have no interest in learning what's in front of them.
7:54 am
Trifioso
oooh, the teacher did more than that babs! Wily gal had them write on a piece of paper their excuse for not doing it, then she scanned each page and sent it to the parents.
7:54 am
Babs1
imagining for a second how eager children who have no opportunity for education would love to change places with them
7:55 am
Babs1
hmm...not their excuses, but their deeper lack of motivation??
7:55 am
Trifioso
one of the kids just whined "this book is so....WORDY! why does it have to use so many WORDS!" to which I replied "well, it's not much of a book with OUT words is it?"
7:57 am
Babs1
sounds like a kid who might get motivated to write their own book so they can demonstrate how to use fewer words :-) Have them take a page of the book and ask them to thoughtfully eliminate the superfluous words
7:58 am
Marc Freeman
se8, please?
7:59 am

Hey Trif. The other day you were raving about a meal. Local restaurant?
8:04 am
Trifioso
YES!!! RUN do not walk! Mother Anna's, in the plaza on Rte. 53, before you get to the feed store. I think it used to be Café Eleganza or something?
8:05 am
Trifioso
You might have to wait a bit, but it is totally worth it.
8:06 am
Trifioso
It used to be in the North End, but they relocated to the south shore, just like Siam Cuisine did...WIN
8:07 am
Trifioso
make sure to come back and tell me how it was!
8:13 am

I believe Mother Anna's is still on Hanover Street in the North End. Heard good things about the Hanover/Pembroke line location although I haven't been there myself. Must like the name Hanover!!!
8:18 am

Do you recall Ida's in the north end?
8:19 am
Read-Knit-Bake
Hi Grant...I do not. we often frequented Felicia's... ever go there?
8:24 am

Recognize the name, but never tried it. Lived on Beacon Hill in the late 1960's, so the north end was an easy walk.

Well, it's official. I just got back from my initial chiropractic exam and the doc confirmed my back twists and turns every which way but the ways it's supposed to.
9:21 am
72 Temple Owl
sorry to hear that, red. can he fix it?
9:21 am
redshoes
They're going to look over X-Rays and history in depth this afternoon and I go back tomorrow to hear the full extent and see what treatment might be.
9:22 am
redshoes
Should be able to fix, but I bet it'll take a lot of work.
9:23 am
flosey
ah redshoes, fully understand, I have a wow in my spine where it shouldn't wow out and a wow that goes sideways - nothing has been done to correct, various things to help, ie brace, mine may have been realized too late in life
9:24 am
flosey
current doc suggests I may have been born this way
9:25 am
flosey
that, of course, was 83 years ago!!
9:25 am
redshoes
I've known my back was messed up for a while, but treatment can get expensive. Necks are supposed to curve, but he said my neck is worse than straight...it's curving in the wrong direction now.
9:25 am
redshoes
Oh man, flosey!
9:25 am
MimiCat
Red, I think you'd be better off going to a D.O. A DO is a medical doctor with additional training in manipulation. You get the best of both worlds that way including prescriptions if you need them. Unfortunately, people who go to chiropractors regularly often end up with terrible arthritis that lasts the rest of their lives.
9:25 am
flosey
these are just above waist and just below
9:26 am
flosey
ah mimi, that I do have!!
9:27 am
redshoes
Sadly, I already have some arthritis. And I don't plan on leaving my MD/PsyD.
9:27 am
MimiCat
One of the benefits to living here in Phoenix is that it is so dry my arthritis virtually never bothers me.
9:27 am
MimiCat
I think that's one reason we have so many retirement communities.
9:28 am
redshoes
That sounds great Mimi. Oh, and I'm also only 36.
9:29 am
MimiCat
You wouldn't have to leave current MD but you could add a DI for consultation and treatment of this one problem....just a suggestion.
9:30 am
redshoes
Thanks for the suggestion Mimi. I'm just tired of being in constant pain day in and day out.
9:31 am
MimiCat
Wow---36 was a long time ago for me. Just had last child the year before and now she's 29, a paralegal and newly married. Time flies...whether or not you're having fun.
9:31 am
MimiCat
I know how you feel, red. I just had my 3rd back surgery which will hopefully correct the problem I' having with my legs not working properly.
9:32 am
redshoes
I hope so!
9:33 am
MimiCat
This has been a horrible year. I would have "attacks" where I couldn't even stand up at all. And this happened over and over, often lasting up to a week each time and in between my legs wouldn't work well. Using a walker now.
9:34 am
MimiCat
You can only imagine how not being able to stand up impacts all aspects of your life.
9:38 am
MimiCat
Time for breakfast....HAGD everyone!
9:39 am
flosey
and you Mimi, and all the best
9:39 am

do any of you have a relative who is pushy about the holidays ? we told my mom we have food to eat for thanksgiving but she said she would give us the money to reimburse us if we would come ot her house for thanksgiving? we don't have any actual plans in fact I think hubby is going to cook. My husband said just to forget it. We thought if she knew we had food it wouldn't be an issue. My husband says he think their Is a reason she wants us there? only one of my siblings and his family will be there(they live in same state). This guy my mom has spent a lot of time with will also be there
2:11 pm
hego
Maybe she just wants to have her family together.
2:11 pm
hego
Wants to see you.
2:12 pm
MLFAN17
I thought of that .. she also knows we have a cat and no one to take care of it. she doesn't even say where we would be sleeping family together minus one of her children and she didn't say what they were doing to celebrate
2:12 pm

2:15 pm
zoozzoom
Why not phone her and discuss it with her?
2:16 pm
therealblah
a lot of people seem to have pretty firm ideas about what thanksgiving, or all holidays for that matter, "should" look like...
2:17 pm
MLFAN17
she called again and talked to me about the reimbursement of the meal and didn't mention it to my husband
2:17 pm
MLFAN17
there that is true
2:18 pm
MLFAN17
I mentioned it to him though
2:19 pm
MLFAN17
i didn't want to get into a fight with her about it but if we are eating here don't you think that is what we are doing regardless of anything?
2:20 pm
MLFAN17
My husband thinks she might have a "motive"
2:20 pm
therealblah
it sounds like you will just have to tell her, kindly but firmly, no thank you, not this year.
2:21 pm
therealblah
altho that never stopped my own mom from continuing to push, lol
2:22 pm

there i think we though she understood from the convo with my husband the first time? But apparently not .. and i don't disagree with you
