Yes! My work situation has changed a little ... things have lightened up with my boss some so I am looking at hanging in there another 1.5 yrs. That will give a boost to the retirement payment :-)

Nice to "see" you bugs.

good to hear the good news. But if things go back to the way they were, you know your mental health is worth more than the little bit more pension. I am so glad you are taking control

nice to see you too. I have been lurking a lot lately but feel stronger now

Good to hear that bugs :-D Yes, I am prepared to take charge of the situation and leave if I need to. But, I think I have finally explained to the powers that be that their concerns are out of my control. We will see.

Hi Everybody. Late start for me; any chance I can get even half way on this grid?
10:41 pm

Or should I forget about it?
10:41 pm
origami
Hey Nef. I just started a bit ago.
10:41 pm
Nef
How is the grid?
10:42 pm
Nef
(oh, forgot to say "Hi origami"!)
10:42 pm
origami
only got 22 words in about an hour, but I have been in and out
10:43 pm
Nef
Okay. His in the hospital again; I just got home from there (another urine infection :-/
10:44 pm
Nef
Tia was supposed to be DH , not His
10:45 pm
origami
Are you doing OK?
10:47 pm
Nef
Just the usual; hanging in there. (This is his 2nd hospitalization in 6 weeks). I think that his MS is now affecting his ability to be aware of whether his bladder is empty or full)
10:50 pm
Nef
How's things with you?
10:51 pm
Nef
SHOOT! Sorry, (off to PB again!)
10:56 pm
origami
Things are OK Nef. I got to visit my late sister's daughter who I hadn't seen in 40 years a few weeks ago. That was strangely interesting and awesome at the same time (she and her children are my last living family members).
10:57 pm
Nef
I remember you were so excited about that! We'd talked just a day or so before you were going to do that!
10:58 pm
Nef
So you had a good visit?
10:59 pm
origami
Yes. It was very strange though. They are really, truly, hillbillies. It was an eye and heart-opening experience for me :-)
11:00 pm
Nef
WOW!! Were you at all prepared for that?
11:04 pm
Nef
Are they left over hippies thatches to be hillbillies: or did your sister turn into one too?
11:04 pm
origami
Not at all. I didn't know they lived out in the middle of nowhere in conditions that were very strange to me. I am serious when I say they were hillbillies.
11:05 pm
Nef
What part of the country do they live in?
11:06 pm
origami
NO! My sister died when my niece was under 2 years old. My sister grew up in the SF Bay Area like me. there is no left over hippie stuff going on. I think they got there first dose of that when I showed up :-)
11:08 pm
Nef
was your nice raised by her father (or his family) & that's where the hillbillies came in?
11:11 pm
origami
But, despite the three rusting fishin' boats out in front of their double-wide in the middle of nowhere, and their three lame dogs, and the non-functional pick-up truck out in front of the house with a bed full of crumpled beer cans, I wound up loving them all. She has a sullen daughter (17) and a gay son (23). I have family!
11:11 pm
Nef
niece, not nice
11:12 pm
Nef
YAY for family, origami!
11:13 pm
origami
Indeed. I haven't had any for a while.
11:14 pm
Nef
I can't imagine that. I have lots of family; I just don't get to see a lot of them very often. But we "see" each other on FB a lot

I'm happy. I've got all my stats, I should list, but I thought I'd at least put in an effort :-)

Of course right after complaining about the grid I started to find more words... isn't that how it goes? LOL

da 6/33 any hints?
11:31 pm
m9f9l
one who da4s
11:32 pm
Nef
He does; m9; but I think this is related to the decreased sensations he has from his MS; he doesn't know if his bladder is full or if he empty with each voiding.
11:32 pm
m9f9l
oh wait.. that's 24
11:33 pm
m9f9l
Ah. My dh is on insulin now. But just recently he takes a long time to empty his..and had a UI...
11:34 pm
Nef
He's still on oral meds for his diabetes.
11:34 pm
m9f9l
dag/33..... sounds like bartering
11:36 pm
m9f9l
the metformin made him feel horrible. They've put him on novolin.. from Walmart. Pretty inexpensive and seems to be doing the trick... once in the morning and once in the evening. Now we're just working on tweaking things by figuring out what foods set it off..
11:37 pm
m9f9l
Ha.. I should have just said it's like your name! :-)
11:38 pm

When I get to having to find a word a minute, I"ll list! :-)

DH is on glipazide (sp?) and he LOVES his desserts; but I try to keep his carb intake down

I made stirfry tonight with brown rice. Going to see how he does with that...
11:44 pm
maggiej
ae 6.24 any hints?
11:44 pm
Nef
Have you guys been to see a diabetic educator about his diet?
11:45 pm
m9f9l
No. We're doing pretty well and I'm a researchaholic..
11:47 pm
m9f9l
But he's pretty new to trying to control it..so the doctor may want that at some point.
11:48 pm
Nef
okay, get the book "the New Glucose Revolution" it's all about the Glycemic Index & I've found it very helpful
11:49 pm
m9f9l
I may have that. i look up the glycemic index on things a LOT! That's one of the reasons I cook things al dente too :-)
11:50 pm
Nef
It's written by a group of doctors & nutritionists & has been very helpful in keeping blood sugars under control
11:50 pm
m9f9l
Cool.. If I don't have it, I'll make sure and get it.
11:53 pm
Nef
It explains why certain foods may be high in carbs but are still recommended & why they are
11:55 pm
