I was - all through the 80s on the world's first dedicated AIDS unit. Then this "managed care" came in and the hospitals became businesses .... and the patients came last ... and I lost the use of some body parts (mainly my brain, I think)
1:12 am
jwr

and for the past 20 years I've trained volunteers on the national HIV nightline and work the crisis (suicide) hotlines when needed.
1:12 am
grannyrose

*giggle* jwr. that's why i moved into recovery room work.
1:13 am
grannyrose

i dips me lid to you jwr. i simply6 could not do what you do.
1:14 am
jwr

Understood. All of the nurses who came off that ward could do anything. (the doctors pretty much did the diagnosing and left the rest to nursing staff).
1:15 am
rururocks

wow.. you moved up more notches in my estimation jwr
1:16 am
jwr

No dipping necessary, you old Cockney you. We all do what we want to and what we're comfortable with. I couldn't hack med school but many nurses transitioned to doctorhood.
1:16 am
grannyrose

Poor guy. I've known men who were prouder of their grizzly bear chests than the hair on their head.
1:21 am
jwr

I'm laughing ru. Yes, I did just pass 75, but my two best friends are both over 80 and way more active than I am.
1:21 am
rururocks

wow.. that's amazing.. I had no idea
1:22 am

What? It's luck and genetics.
1:22 am
rururocks

I'll never make it to 75

1:23 am

1:24 am
grannyrose

1:24 am
rururocks

*whistles*
1:24 am
grannyrose

hmmmmm, both ??
1:24 am
rururocks

Oh.. I don't know.. Just a gut feeling
1:25 am
jwr

Well, I should think so! Aren't there always two?
1:25 am
rururocks

*whistles again*
1:25 am
grannyrose

yup, and they never stop... to DH's delight
1:26 am
rururocks

granny will have to put on her reading glasses to look down and count them
1:26 am
grannyrose

*hang on * with all ruru's whistling i need to powder my nose...lolll
1:26 am
rururocks

:D
1:26 am
jwr

ru, you don't know. That's the truth. We never do.
1:27 am
rururocks

well.. my dad lived to 83 and my mom is still alive
1:27 am
rururocks

she's 88 I guess by now
1:28 am
jwr

Exactly.
1:28 am
rururocks

if I go .. JW.. you have to pick up the slack and pun mercilessly until people groan :D
1:29 am
grannyrose

poor ruru. would you like me to adopt you?? love is guaranteed
1:30 am
rururocks

no.. thanks GR.. I'm kind of past the parent thing :D
1:30 am
jwr

If I could pun like you, ru, I'd make a living at it. You're one of the best ... and I was brought up by master punsters. Gotta run - I'll tune in later when things get quiet in the call room.
1:31 am

Faithless rose -- just because he lost his hair
1:31 am

Bye all - It's been grand.
1:31 am
rururocks

night jw.... have a great weekend coming up
1:32 am
jwr

I still want to know what a woozle is. I'm sure I remember the word!
1:32 am
grannyrose

lolll night jwr. hope you have a great shift. xoxox
1:32 am
rururocks

a woozle is a stick in a drink that someone has when they are too drunk
1:33 am
jwr

Thanks ruru - you rock. And rose rises.
1:33 am
grannyrose

woozie = when your head spins due to an over-indulgence, particularly alcohol.
1:34 am
grannyrose

oh, woozle....hmmm....not a swizzle....
1:34 am
rururocks

swizzle when you're straight.. woozle when you're loaded
1:34 am
grannyrose

roflollll
1:36 am
grannyrose

aha... a woozle = weasel-like monster imagined by characters in winnie-the-pooh.
1:39 am
grannyrose

okay. if i don't respond firefox is being difficult
1:40 am
rururocks

I'm going to jump in bed.. may be back in a bit.. cold here tonight

2:59 am

3:23 am
grannyrose

ruby...i repeat my questions...are you having a good day? and are you warm enough?
3:25 am
rubyfoo

I'm still cold but the housekeeper made a fire (I'm huddled in front) and the morphine kicked in
3:27 am
rubyfoo

I'll be OK, as I must, because my friend, Catherine is picking me up and we're going to the movie and having sushi for lunch
3:27 am
rubyfoo

First time out with her since summer

3:36 am
zoozzoom

3:36 am
rubyfoo

Gross, but I could eat it in front of the fire
3:38 am
grannyrose

oh my...{{hugs}} zooz
3:38 am
zoozzoom

I like my cereals only with cold milk.
3:38 am
grannyrose

zooz....coasting.... this ruddy nerve keeps arcing up.
3:39 am
rubyfoo

too cold for cold milk!
3:39 am
zoozzoom

I have hung my duvet covers out to dry a while a go. what a bloody job that was trying to hang them on a rotary line. Not easy trying to get it over just one of the lines!
3:40 am
rubyfoo

What works for nerve pain?
3:40 am
zoozzoom

Sorry to hear about your nerve, Rose.
3:41 am
rubyfoo

At least morphine takes care of me
3:41 am
rubyfoo

Nerve pain must be the worst
3:41 am
grannyrose

ruby... i am using a TENS machine. ( transdermal electrical neuro-stimulator)
3:42 am
grannyrose

not wishing you much envy zooz...but i hung out 3 loads of laundry yesterday and all of it came in bone dry.
3:43 am
rubyfoo

I'm glad there is something to help you as chronic pain is exhausting
3:43 am
medusa

Hi everyone.
3:43 am
grannyrose

ruby...nerve pain is the pits...you can never know when it is going to impinge on your life.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

How do you have the energy for that, madame?
3:44 am
medusa

What are the TENS machines like Rose? I have a bad back and keep thinking of getting one.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

hi medusa
3:44 am
medusa

Hows you Ruby?
3:44 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Medusa :-)
3:44 am
rubyfoo

Cold hands, cold heart
3:45 am
medusa

Hi Zooz. Hope you are well.
3:45 am
zoozzoom

Well it is sunny here today, Rose, so I am hoping mine will dry also lol
3:45 am
rubyfoo

I pay Nadia to visit Burt, how cold is that?
3:45 am
zoozzoom

All well here, Medusa, how about yourself?
3:45 am
medusa

Been better but getting there. lol
3:45 am
sprite

good morning all
3:46 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite :-)
3:46 am
grannyrose

medusa...there are two/four self-adhesive pads which are connected to a battery-operated generator which gives you small electric shocks via the wires and electrodes.
3:46 am
rubyfoo

It would never dry here, would be frozen flat as a plank
3:46 am
medusa

Hi Sprite. Hows you?
3:46 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning to you too my dearest sprite.
3:46 am
sprite

*hugs zooz* Hello dear man, how are you today? And how are the parents doing?
3:47 am

3:47 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Hello darling. How was your day?
3:47 am
medusa

Does it work? I have protrusions on the bottom 2 discs on my spine and that causes trapped nerves too. Just had a bad one with it so feeling your pain Rose.
3:48 am
sprite

*hugs ruby* Hello dear friend, thank you so much for the beautiful book!
3:48 am
medusa

I am ok Sprite. Not been here for a long time due to one thing or another!
3:48 am
sprite

social butterfly? Moi? Lol.
3:48 am
grannyrose

3:48 am
sprite

sometimes life's like that, medusa. Good to see you back!
3:48 am

3:49 am
sprite

I am fine, zooz! All over the flu and getting my energy back.
3:49 am
zoozzoom

Good to hear :-)
3:49 am
medusa

I am on and off Sprite. Nerve pain is a nasty one.
3:49 am
sprite

lollll rose... ain't that the truth! We love them dearly, but in all honesty... being alone once in a while is a treat
3:49 am
rubyfoo

Time to get into a hot bath -- maybe that will thaw me out
3:49 am
sprite

very true, medusa
3:50 am
grannyrose

medusa...it is helping....i will leave it up to you. after my session in the morning i am able to get on the stationary bike and 'do' 3 minutes.
3:50 am
rubyfoo

29 left and no idea....
3:50 am
rubyfoo

see you later, kids
3:50 am
sprite

ruby, put all your clothes around a hot water bottle or something like that. So you can step into warm clothes after
3:50 am
zoozzoom

Enjoy the hot bath, Ruby.
3:50 am
medusa

Where I get the back probs the nerves also go in my hips spmetimes. It is total agony when it goes properly
3:51 am
grannyrose

enjoy your bath darling ruby. xoxox
3:51 am
medusa

ttfn Ruby
3:52 am
rubyfoo

I put clothes and towel on the radiator, the problem is just getting up the stais and being motivated to do it
3:52 am
medusa

With you there Ruby!
3:52 am
sprite

ah, didn't know you had a radiator. Even better. Yeah, I know that feeling. My mantra nowadays is "Do and don't think about it". Otherwise I won't do at all.
3:53 am
medusa

Might have to adopt that one.
3:54 am
grannyrose

medusa...a good site to google... michael walsh.. an orthopaedic surgeon here in australia. he has a lot of insight into hip pain.
3:54 am
sprite

might help, medusa. You are a smart one... which means you probably always end up thinking about the buts and ifs. Or so it is with me.
3:55 am
medusa

Thanks Rose. Sounds lots like me Sprite. Right now it is a case of will it do my back in again!
3:56 am
sprite

that is a tough one, yes. Sometimes you have to be extra careful. But if you can manage to do the things you need to do with attention and focus, you will probably be able to stop before it harms your back.
3:57 am
medusa

Are there any hints for the7 please?I assume it is plural of the 6 before it but don't have that yet. lol
3:58 am
medusa

My biggest problem there Sprite is once I get in to doing something I can get carried away easily. I also have OCD so have to do things a certain way.
3:59 am
sprite

and a touch of perfectionism to go with it? I hear you loud and clear, lolll. Another of my mantras: 8 out of 10 is still a brilliant score.
3:59 am
grannyrose

medusa, no6. n + double vowel + part of le***r, account keeping book. then plural
4:00 am
grannyrose

*giggle* as my DH says...you mean CDO...in alphabeti8cal order.
4:00 am
medusa

Thank Rose. Would never have got that one!
4:00 am
sprite

exactly!
4:01 am
medusa

And finally got nbs and nbt
4:01 am
medusa

lol Rose.
4:01 am
grannyrose

yaq6y medusa
4:02 am
sprite

good job medusa
4:02 am
grannyrose

ummm... yay
4:02 am
medusa

The thing is 8 out of 10 is never good enough for me.
4:02 am
medusa

Thanks Rose and Sprite
4:03 am
sprite

yeah that is where I am coming from too, medusa. I used to be like: a 10 is normal. All below it is sub par. Took me a lot of therapy and hard work to finally realise that a 10, by definition, is NOT normal.
4:05 am
medusa

Thing i I know I don't have to get 10 all the time but I am constantly battling the bit that gets angry when I get less. It's like there are 2 people in me and tey are in constant competition.
4:07 am
sprite

total recognition here, medusa. That is exactly how it feels. I had to work out what I was compensating for so hard all the time. And why.
4:08 am
medusa

I have found it easier to deal with now I know what it is but still hard work. I don't get so emotional as I did. Am now being told to get tested for Aspergers!
4:09 am
sprite

would be good to know, I think. Understanding where those urges come from is helpful in managing them.
4:10 am
medusa

I think so too. I do have a lot of the symptoms of it and have been told if you have OCD you have a high chance of having Aspergers
4:12 am
sprite

it is probably the same small area in the brain that is responsible. I was told that that area is responsible for a whole lot of things... from adhd and pdnos and tourette to ocd, aspergers and autism.
4:14 am
medusa

Wow! Never knew that. They say you only use a tiny part of your brain in your life so why can't they all use the bits we don't use? lol
4:14 am
sprite

lolollll good idea!
4:15 am
sprite

they also told me that if you have one of those things, you almost always will have a touch of the others as well.
4:15 am
medusa

Or maybe they have a party there. It's my brain and I want an invite if that is so!
4:16 am
sprite

ok, once you have found all the words in this grid, where should those other 29 come from? Hm?
4:16 am
sprite

yeah, no party without us!
4:16 am
medusa

What is pdnos?
4:16 am
medusa

29?
4:17 am
sprite

pdnos stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Also autism-related.
4:18 am
sprite

yeah, I still need 29 words and I am certain I already found all there can be found :)
4:18 am
medusa

Thanks. Heard of it before but never knew what it was.
4:18 am
medusa

I still have 47 to go.
4:19 am
medusa

I have seen one of my fave words there today too. lol
4:19 am
sprite

which one?
4:20 am
medusa

wo 5/24 lol
4:20 am
grannyrose

at last... off comes the torture machine...
4:20 am
sprite

nice one :)
4:21 am
medusa

Just love that word. I use it all the time. lol
4:21 am
medusa

You feeling better ROs?
4:21 am
medusa

Rose even
4:21 am
sprite

yay rose :) That lovely moment when the torture stops... almost makes it worth it ;)
4:23 am
medusa

I had a TENS machine when I was pregnant with my daughter. Was a rented one. Never got the chance to use it when I went into labour though coz didn't have time! Used it once just before though.
4:23 am
grannyrose

yup sprite. medusa... the nerve is being quiet...and that in my book is all good.
4:24 am
medusa

That sounds good. Take it easy though. Don't want to agrivate it any more. xx
4:24 am
sprite

anyone else keeps seeing words ending in -less?
4:24 am
medusa

no but prob will now! lol
4:24 am
grannyrose

nope...it is all in your mind sprite... lolll
4:24 am
sprite

lol always happy to share!
4:24 am
sprite

lollll rose!
4:25 am
medusa

Gee, thanks. lol. Struggling today too. Still not slept. Sleep is all over the place at the moment.
4:26 am
sprite

not being able to sleep is the pits. Makes all the rest worse plus harder to bear.
4:27 am
medusa

Don't it just. My sleep is very fitfull right now. Fortunately I work from home and have my own business now so not so bad. Still not nice though.
4:28 am
sprite

no, even working from ho4 still means working. And making your hours.
4:30 am
medusa

Oops! forgot about that one. lol. Fortunately I can work through the night so not so bad. Would still like to be able to stay up in the day though.
4:30 am
medusa

Any clues for the last wo5 please?
4:31 am
sprite

sleeping well is a real blessing. I hope you will receive it soon :)
4:31 am
sprite

my last wo5 is a sound word
4:31 am
grannyrose

wo5/28. a past tense
4:32 am
medusa

It does sort itself out at times then my back goes and I am Barts up and that is always at night when I am trying to sleep. Then I am back where I am now.
4:32 am
sprite

very frustrating
4:32 am
Lindrickway

Lindrickway

I have 3 cats at work
4:53 am
medusa

The dogs are so cheeky. They do make me laugh. The Italian cross are brothers and I was told they were 14 months when I got them which would make them just under 2 1/2 and one of them is already getting old man hair on his muzzle! The staffy cross is a girl and she is 6 months and a monster! lol
4:54 am

Princess, the cat, is the only sane one here and even that is questionable!

My daughter chastises me for my vodka consumption but I told her it's the only vice I have left...leave me alone about it!!
10:19 am

oh.. Dylan is on a new experimental drug.. that seems to be helping him. It was more effective the first month, but it has knocked back his itchiness by quite a bit
10:20 am

Oh, ruru is here. Let the pun begin.

Weaving On A Walker - sounds like a song. What would be the band's name?

10:24 am

that's only temporary mimi.. you will get beyond this
10:24 am
MimiCat

Is the doctor giving him mome type of antihistamine? Or prednisone?
10:25 am
MimiCat

Am determined to do so, ruru---failure is simply not an option.
10:25 am
JBsAnno

Other hits by the Drunken Loomers: Weaving on a Jet Plane, and Dream Weavers.
10:25 am

LOL, JB---good ones!

You are all getting silly now.
10:26 am

10:26 am

we did the prednisone.. but it was killing him .. he gets 9 benedryl a day and low dose prednisone as well
10:26 am

Of course, Scrabbler!

Sounds like a good plan. Yes, prednisone iis not a good long-term solution. But it was great for my German Shepherd when diagnosed with lymphoma. Kept her quite comfortable the last 6 months of her life. Miss her every day and it has been over 10 yrs. since she passed. She was only 7.
10:28 am

He must have really shiny hair, right?

Mimi, please elaborate, are there really Fifty Ways to Weave Your Walker?
10:36 am
MimiCat

I've only found two, JB: voluntarily and involuntarily.
10:36 am
JBsAnno

Loved my childhood German Shepherd, he was a very good dog for us 5 kids.
10:36 am
JBsAnno

Ha Ha, Mimi!
10:36 am
MimiCat

...certainly prefer the former.
10:37 am
JBsAnno

I just got a mental picture of you going through a mandala/maze
10:38 am
rururocks

when I wrecked my knees I had to use a cane for 6 months.. it's a pain in the ass to be honest
10:39 am
MimiCat

All things considered, I'm getting pretty adept at it. Need to work on speed, though, so I can enter the Mario Andretti race for "speed walkers."
10:39 am
JBsAnno

Oh, I have a cane for when my back goes out. It stands up on its own, but it doesn't have that clunky 4 tipped end. It's called a Hugo, and I recommend it!
10:41 am
MimiCat

I'm grateful to have it because it allows me enough mobility to take care of myself and stay independent.
10:41 am
rururocks

amen for that mimi
10:41 am
JBsAnno

Mimi, my dad used tennis balls to cover the tipped ends to get better traction on carpet and concrete/tar.. He could zip right along on tiled floor.
10:41 am
rururocks

I thought hugo was hego's brother?
10:42 am
MimiCat

Did you see my "speed walker" comment, ruru? Proud of that one.
10:42 am
JBsAnno

hego, shego, we all go
10:42 am
rururocks

yes.. very cute mimi
10:43 am

I guess I'll get there someday.. unless I die doing something I love :D
10:43 am

Hoping for a groan from ruru, that would make my day!
10:43 am
MimiCat

ty,ty.
10:44 am
rururocks

oh JB.. you have to try a lot harder to get a groan from me.. I have a big margin for sick jokes
10:44 am
JBsAnno

I bow to the master rururocks
10:45 am
rururocks

I had several great ones last week and no one said a peep. damn it
10:45 am
JBsAnno

Oh, I could only do the grids last week, I was visiting with a friend, and did not go into the chogs. Sorry I missed them, ru!
10:46 am
MimiCat

I actually have to run a sort of obstacle course because I just have a one-bedroom apt., e.g., tilt when get t the floor fan, raise back legs when encounter a rug, lift front over transition from linoleum to carpet, and constantly try to avoid cats who just love to dash in front of me. Exhausting.
10:46 am
JBsAnno

Well, then again, maybe not so sorry...:)
10:47 am
JBsAnno

Hang a squirt bottle of water on your rig, Mimi, and take aim as needed at dashing cats. They
10:47 am
JBsAnno

will learn to get out of your way! Or at least be busy grooming themselves dry
10:48 am
MimiCat

Yes, I know that trick and use it for other things. But I have one cat who's immune to that so I have to throw a paperback book at him. That has cured him of a couple of bad behaviors.
10:49 am
JBsAnno

Ooo, hardcore discipline!
10:50 am
MimiCat

All I have to do now is say his name and pick up a book and he stops. At least he's a fast learner. I make sure they're lightweight books, of course, but couldn't have him clawing at the furniture.
10:51 am
rururocks

(pictures mimi throwing Danielle Steel books at the cat)
10:51 am
rururocks

that's the only lightweight stuff I can think of
10:51 am
MimiCat

I don't usually actually hit him with it--just near him and it scares him.
10:51 am
JBsAnno

We use the bitter apple spray to keep them off the furniture, and encourage them to their scratching posts by periodically rubbing/dousing them with catnip.
10:51 am
MimiCat

No, ruru---that would be too cruel even for a cat!
10:51 am
JBsAnno

LOL, ru
10:52 am
rururocks

I met Danielle Steel once.. at one of my wineries
10:52 am
rururocks

she's a load that one
10:53 am
rururocks

she acts like she's the queen of england
10:53 am
MimiCat

Never has worked for me, JB--and they have all kinds of appropriate scratching posts on their cat trees and such. I used to declaw my kittens, in the front only, and wish I could do that to these but would be too difficult at this point.
10:54 am
rururocks

I don't believe in declawing.. squirt bottles do work on clawing the furniture.
10:54 am
MimiCat

I can't stand people like that....and it's usually the least talented who want the most genuflection.
10:54 am
rururocks

me too mimi..
10:55 am
rururocks

I guess I'd best get to work.. see you guys later thanks for the laughs everyone
10:55 am
rururocks

need them today
10:55 am
JBsAnno

Oh, I wish I could stay and chat longer, ruru and Mimi, but chores and paperwork cannot be put off any longer. Thanks for the fun and silliness! Be well, Mimi, and I hope your puppy improves quickly, ru!
10:55 am
MimiCat

I met a lot of those when I worked for the NBC affiliate in Atlanta.

Hello all! I posted this yesterday, but to those who may have missed it, I am working on a project for an anthropology class, and could use the babble communities help. My class is studying online communities, and I have created a survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Z94j\nk-SMM2qn5WWhsQyBVIH-o8BzGjtSGiNIsQkxxx\nM/viewform?usp=send_form) with questions about the babble community. There is more info on my profile, along with how to contact me if you are curious about what I am doing. All the results will be kept private and shared only with the other class members. And thanks to those who already contributed! I really appreciate your help!!
