hi Frances :) How are you holding up today?
2:25 am
Frances
Apart from anything else - cold
2:26 am
sprite
*sending warm vibes to Frances*
2:26 am
Frances
Thank you. I'm sitting in a chair wrapped in a duvet
2:28 am
sprite
it is tough to stay warm if you cannot move freely. Do you have a rubber warm water bottle? Not sure of the english word. It often helps me to fill it and lie it on my lap while sitting in a blanket.
2:30 am
Frances
Yes I do have one (hot water bottle). I have a cotton bag with log handles that I put the hottie in and then hang it round my neck. It then sits in just the right place for putting my hands on it to keep them warm.
2:31 am
sprite
oh that sounds good. I am really sorry you are having such a tough battle atm.
2:31 am
Frances
There are people far worse off than me.
2:32 am
sprite
that is always true. Doesn't diminish your burden any though. Well, least babble can do for you is distract you for a bit, right? :)
2:34 am
Frances
exactly right. Until I have to stand up. Then it takes a while to rearrange my knees.
2:35 am
Frances
How are you?
2:35 am
sprite
for some reason I keep believing 'snew' is a word. As past tense of to snow, lol. Have you seen your very own babble dictionary in my profile?
2:35 am
Frances
I have - love it.
2:36 am
sprite
I am fine. had a gastric bypass in august, am now losing weight at long last. And feeling well enough to start doing volunteer work at a telephone help desk for people in trouble.
2:37 am
Frances
Oh wow! Good for you. Are you enjoying the work.
2:38 am
sprite
very much. It feels good to be giving back to the community. And it humbles me to see how much suffering there is, and how much loneliness, and how often people lack someone to simply listen to them. Really listen, I mean.
2:42 am
Frances
Indeed. I'm a pretty good listener and I find it really helps to listen and not necessarily talk back. it somehow helps just to be able to unburden yourself of your bottled up troubles and get them off your chest.
2:43 am
sprite
exactly. Someone who really listens and doesn't judge can make a lot of difference.
2:49 am
Frances
Usually helps if the listener is a stranger. When talking with someone who really knows you is not always helpful. They can be too close to your problems - or even the cause of them.
2:49 am
sprite
yeah that is true
2:50 am
Frances
I must ask - how did you cope with the bypass?
2:52 am
sprite
it went very well. I had a very thorough preparation, the surgery itself wasn't half as bad as I expected and it wasn't too hard to start learning what and how much to eat/drink afterwards either.
2:57 am
Frances
I'm pleased it is working for you. I can't see that a path I can take as the reason my surgeon won't operate on my knees is his concern about how I would cope with the anaesthetic.
2:58 am
sprite
I don't know how things are at your side of the Channel. Here, the gastric bypass surgeons and anaesthetians are specialised in operating on people with way too high body weight. They will agree to operate when other disciplines won't.
3:03 am
Frances
Yes, after all the whole reason for the bypass is to reduce body weight. It seems strange that if they can cope with operating why can't the bone surgeons. I can only assume they don't want the responsibilty if somethig should go wrong.
3:05 am
sprite
it may also have to do with the nature of the operation. Here, the gastric bypass is done without opening you up (laparascopic??). They don't have to cut up bone. And it doesn't take too long either.
3:06 am
Frances
So do you have a full anaesthetic or a local one?
3:08 am
sprite
a full one. But a short one. As soon as they are done, they wake you up. You have to help moving from the operating table to the bed yourself! And then you stay in IC until they have stabilised your pain and anti-nausea medication.
3:12 am
Frances
That is the bit that worries me. When my son was born (many years ago) I had an emergency c section because I had been in labour for nearly a week. They didn't realise his head was stuck fast. Because I was so exhausted I couldn't get up for four days and ended up with DVT in both legs and in hospital for four months. The thought of that happening again is truly scary.
3:14 am
sprite
omg in labour for almost a week! That is horrible. I can see how a repeat of that ordeal frightens you. If you should ever go explore the possibility of a gastric bypass, make sure you tell the surgeon and anaestetian all about it. They can really help you through it.
3:16 am
sprite
fireflies. A very enjoyable grid for me. Must be off now. Really enjoyed talking with you! I hope you will be warm soon and in not too much pain today. *hugs*
3:16 am
Frances
Yes, it is something to think about. I did read your article yesterday about the low carb diets. I told my son that I was willing to give it a go. He said that I would have to be strict with myself anf if it would help he will do it also.
3:17 am
sprite
wow, that is awesome. That really helps, to do it together.
3:17 am
Frances
Bye sprite. Have a lovely day and keep warm. Hugs back.

Is it very cold there, zooz?

Up north it is about -10c/ 14 F and lots of snow too.

It is in the 20's here and supposed to get colder. The dogs don't like to go outside at all.
4:04 am

I do not blame them. I hope you keep yourself warm and safe, ((Peach))
4:05 am

good morning from freezing Veyrier! It is about -3C outside and less than 10C in the house
4:06 am
rubyfoo
I'm waiting for someone to come and make a fire
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Ruby. Not very warm for you either. It is about 15c in my crappy house and that is with the heating on full blast lol
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Hope they come soon for you, Ruby. Keep well wrapped up.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
Qnd the nursing home just called; husband is in the ER again, had another bad fall but there is too mucch snow and I amnot in shape to go there
4:08 am
zoozzoom
Hey you could snuggle upto the dogs to keep warm!
4:08 am
rubyfoo
They are wet and a little bity stinky from the snow
4:08 am
zoozzoom
Oh sorry to hear that, Ruby. I hope he has not hurt himself too badly. Would he know who you are even if you did turn up, Ruby?
4:10 am
rubyfoo
The only good things so far are 1) my friend zzooz is here, 2) the sun is shining and 3) no pain for the moment!
4:10 am
zoozzoom
eew no the smell of a wet dog is not a pleasant one so I do not blame you for not wanting to snuggle up to them lol
4:10 am
zoozzoom
((Ruby)) bless you.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
I'm sorry for my husband, but he's with professionals and all i would so is antagoneize everybody at the hospital "pushy American"!
4:11 am
zoozzoom
Glad you have no pain! that is good.
4:11 am
zoozzoom
Well you only want what is best for your husband so be pushy :-)
4:11 am
rubyfoo
I don't even mind the smell, but they're wet, too!
4:12 am
rubyfoo
I'm just not well enough to sit in a crowded ER for hours and risk getting sick myself
4:12 am
zoozzoom
The sun is shining here too but it is not making any impact warmth wise.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
And it wouldn't help him anyway
4:13 am
zoozzoom
Well you have only just started to get well yourself so not worth the risk, Ruby.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
same here, sun-wise lol
4:13 am
rubyfoo
even though I havee a total southern exposure
4:14 am
zoozzoom
I hate the smell of hospitals. I think they do a fantastic job at looking after people with the resources they have but I still do not like the smell of the places lol
4:14 am
rubyfoo
The view today, with snow on the ground and sunshine is magnifique
4:15 am
zoozzoom
Yes i have a south facing sun trap too but it is not warming up today lol
4:15 am
zoozzoom
I bet it is. You have a wonderful view I bet!
4:15 am
rubyfoo
In France, since medical care is free (not for us!!!), people abuse the system and run to the ER with colds and flu or headachess, and just take up space and resources
4:17 am
rubyfoo
and now.....the grid, with my ice-cold fingers!
4:17 am
zoozzoom
Yes that is a problem here too. We have tried a system where if you think you are not too bad you can dial 111 and speak to a trained nurse who will assess you and see if you need to see your doctor or even go to a hospital.
4:17 am
zoozzoom
But I do not think it is working.
4:18 am
zoozzoom
I am nearly finished grid wise but I will be going soon. so will have to finish later lol
4:21 am
rubyfoo
people have no common sense; they don't wash their hands and are always sick, they all get flu shots, they don't eat correctly and they don't know basic first aid. When my son was born in a tiny town in Illinois, the hospital gave out copies of Dr. Spock to all new mothers and it got us through croup and most of the other infant problems
4:21 am
rubyfoo
Itis lovely to find you here, zzoozz, I feel like we're old friends!
4:22 am
zoozzoom
((Ruby)) we are old friends :-)
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I am very fortunate!
4:26 am
zoozzoom
I do also think we have gone a bit too far for infants. When they go out we tell them not to play in the mud etc and now they seem to be over sensitive and have all these problems. i remember eating a bit of dirt! when i was a nipper and I was told I ate a bit of an earth worm! I think this built up a resistance in our immune system to help us when we got older.
4:27 am
zoozzoom
Now so many children have asthma and are allergic to lots of foods etc. it has gone mad!
4:28 am
rubyfoo
absolutely! Here it's toomany antibiotics, not enough dirt in the diet (lol), not giving children enough milk (the FR don't think milk is good for you) duh, and giving them no free time to just play
4:29 am
rubyfoo
the kid are generally slack and nervouse, fearful but polite, all very odd to me
4:30 am
zoozzoom
I think play is a very important part of the learning process. they need to now how to interact with each other.
4:31 am
rubyfoo
the school day is too long as are school holidays, and when the children come out at 4:30, they erupt, screaming, into the street
4:32 am
zoozzoom
4;30pm! ha they come out at 3;30pm here lol
4:32 am
rubyfoo
And the parents are all waiting in their SUV's so that the hildren dont hzve to walk home
4:33 am
rubyfoo
walking home in pairs is certainly safe enoguh and good for the kids on many levels
4:33 am
zoozzoom
We have a walk your child to school weeks here. trying to teach the PARENTS that they do not have to drive their children 100 yards down the road in their tanks to school lol
4:34 am
rubyfoo
And they ae schelepping enormous back pa ks - but they still can't read!
4:35 am
zoozzoom
Not good for their backs either!
4:35 am
zoozzoom
Sounds like a yiddish word 'schelepping'
4:37 am

Sorry, Ruby, but I need to get going now. Need to see how my parents are doing. Very nice to talk to you. And try and stay warm ((Ruby))

Ruby, if your husband is having repeated falling incidents, they should have him in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the falling thing happens to Alzheimer's patients as they actually forget how to walk.

Ruby, people with Alzheimer's live in a constant state of confusion. Hence, the agitation at certain times of day. Hopefully they can adjust his medication so he isn't so agitated at night.
5:20 am
Soodle
what a horrible disease Alzheimers is.
5:22 am
rubyfoo
it's a very cruel disease, but I don't think that going to the emergency room would help him; all I do is antagonize the staff
5:22 am

It is a terrible thing to watch someone that you love, who was once vibrant and intelligent, being slowly robbed of those things.
5:22 am

He was very calm when I saw him on Wed.

hurshy
i never watched it but i will make a joke about it anyway
8:23 am
hurshy
it's like "sherlock holmes: now starring john watson!"
8:23 am
Uneaixoise
“24: Legacy†will revolve around a military hero’s return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back — compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.
8:23 am
Uneaixoise
interesting . . . but not 24 . . . kinda stoopid that they even called it that
8:24 am
MLFAN17
what is the show here in the us something Reborn?
8:25 am
MLFAN17
Heroes that's it, that show is going off the air as far as i know
8:25 am
Uneaixoise
i thought I saw ads for a whole new season of Heroes . . . no?
8:26 am
Uneaixoise
never watched it
8:26 am
MLFAN17
i could be wrong but that's what i thought i read somewhere
8:27 am
Uneaixoise
aaahhh, Variety says it will die after this one new season
8:27 am
MLFAN17
i just looked it up again no 2nd season
8:27 am
MLFAN17
i never watched much of either
8:28 am
Uneaixoise
never watched Heroes -- watched every episode of 24 :-)
8:29 am
MLFAN17
never watched either that much at all only in previews
8:29 am
MollyL
The original Heroes was very good. The remake is atrocious.
8:30 am
MLFAN17
molly i was confused as to why it got cancelled i thought it was one of the most popular/watched shows on tv at the time?
8:30 am
MollyL
24 was ALL ABOUT Jack Bauer. If they want to revive the premise, they ought to rename the show. CTU or something.
8:31 am
Uneaixoise
i agree, molly
8:31 am
MLFAN17
why reboot a show without the main character is beyond me?
8:32 am
Uneaixoise
Kiefer says, re 24: “It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given as an actor, but it’s moving on without me. I want to do other things.â€
8:33 am
Uneaixoise
fi5/20 but change final vowel
8:33 am
MLFAN17
when i first saw the previews for the show it almost looked like a movie to me
8:33 am
MLFAN17
thanks une
8:34 am
Uneaixoise
interesting . . . fi5/22 means scarf in the online dictionary but when I lived in France it was polite term for "crappy, no good, ruined"
8:35 am
MLFAN17
that is interesting une
8:37 am
Uneaixoise
maybe (and this is a stretch!) it's scarf in the sense of flimsy, blowing in the wind . . . ?
8:38 am

8:41 am
MLFAN17
hurshy my mom and i used to watch the tv series every week
8:42 am

the show took a lot of liberties - although it did include one or two real events the books did not, such as the birth and death of a baby brother
8:42 am

my book addiction was The Secret Garden, then over 80 Nancy Drew books! LOL

8:50 am
Uneaixoise

8:55 am

I also need to read words so when I watch a movie at home I use closed caption so I can read the conversation. It is not a hearing problem, that is just my brain.

scrabs, I need to read words on lots of British shows! LOL

Yes, Une, for sure.

11:46 am

Drat. Chat box is widened
11:46 am
zoozzoom
Glad you found one :-)
11:46 am
mattygroves
I found the 8/50 - is the 55 also related?
11:47 am
zoozzoom
No it has to do with the CO 7/36
11:47 am
zoozzoom
The second one that is.
11:48 am
mattygroves
Ah, haven't got that 7 yet - looking!
11:48 am
MollyL
I think Jaxx and her "no spaces" is what
blew the chat bar width.
11:49 am
zoozzoom
I say it has to do with that..well not according to the DEF. But there is just one letter seperating them both.
11:49 am
cybernan
8/55 not related to the 8/50
11:49 am
zoozzoom
The chat log should sort itself out soon :-)
11:50 am

Found the 7 (I think) ...
11:51 am

The chat log will sort itself out once
the long posts flush
11:51 am

The DEF for the CO 8 /55 is :a winding road cut into the side of a steep hill or along the face of a coastal cliff.
11:51 am
mattygroves
Are there only 2 co7s?
11:52 am
zoozzoom
No there are three of them.
11:52 am

11:53 am
zoozzoom
Well just add frozen water really lol
11:54 am
mattygroves
Got it. Thanks! Still looking for the 8/55 though
It builds off of not the cob word, though, but rather
the other?
11:55 am
zoozzoom
Add a consonant very near the end.
11:55 am
MollyL
When the chat log is blown
if you just hit SHIFT after five or six
words your comments will not
run off the page

people turn in dogs to a shelter for a variety of reasons, assuming the shelter will always find homes for them -- no way, of course -- just not enough room for all the dogs surrendered

12:04 pm
Uneaixoise
