6:27 am
ChampFit
Good morning all...lynxxx...what flood?
6:44 am
lynxxx
Hi Champ - here where I am near Melbourne
6:45 am
ChampFit
I'm sorry! Water is a scary thing.
6:46 am
lynxxx
TY - at least we got lots of warning this time - more preparation than normal
6:47 am
ChampFit
That's good. Do you have to worry about it coming in to your house, or just being stranded?
6:49 am
lynxxx
Not stranded - just getting into the house - not happened before (that I know of ) but this rain system seems considerable and long lasting
6:50 am
lynxxx
and the powers-that -be have actually warned very specifically about our area - thousands of houses involved. ugh
6:50 am
ChampFit
I get it. I live in Houston, where we had 50" of rain from a hurricane this summer. Houses that had never, ever flooded, did. Hopefully a never to be repeated anywhere event!
6:51 am
ChampFit
The weather people are good about warning (and sometimes OVERwarning), so I hope that's what it is for you this time!
6:51 am
lynxxx
oh I remember that, we got full coverage of that down here
6:52 am
ChampFit
My area was fine. 10% of the area homes were affected, which in a city the size of Houston is a lot.
6:54 am
lynxxx
They have over-warned today for this particular spot...but as we watch the radar and the fast approaching rain it is not over-warned now. Near midnight and high-tide which is not good for the canal flooding which is a few doors down from me.
6:55 am
ChampFit
Oh, that's scary! You need a bigger grid to take your mind off it. ;)
6:59 am
lynxxx
I'll see you later, wish us luck
6:59 am
ChampFit
Will do! Will say a prayer for you. Stay in touch.
7:27 am
Lizlin
Stay safe lynxxx

Weather has changed so much in the 19 years l've been here

The first years there were big snowstorms. Not any more
7:36 am
ChampFit
I hope you didn't jinx yourself just now! ;)
7:37 am

I don't misss the big storms, but it's unsettling to see so much change
7:38 am
rubyfoo
Champ, you are the same age asmy son who lives in AQustin
7:38 am

My youngest is in college in San Marcos, so she goes all the time. It's about 30 mins away. How long has he been there?
7:41 am

7:42 am
ChampFit
It goes so quickly, doesn't it?
7:42 am
rubyfoo
Do you have stats for an 8?
7:43 am
ChampFit
No..in fact I don't have any 7's yet. 56 left...slow going at this point.
7:43 am
rubyfoo
l'd like to have the middle 20 years to experience again!
7:44 am

morning all
9:02 am
suefrad625
i have a confession and need support
9:02 am
MLFAN17
hi sue long time no see:)
9:02 am
suefrad625
i am 2 1/2 weeks off of my antidepressants and still getting the zaps
9:02 am
suefrad625
when does this end?
9:02 am
suefrad625
hi mlf
9:03 am
MLFAN17
what do you mean by zaps?
9:03 am
suefrad625
it is like a reset button in your brain
9:04 am
BzznBea
Why did you quit taking ads, sue?
9:05 am
MLFAN17
its probably just a reaction from beign off the meds. I would assume when your brain can deal without them that should be when it stops
9:05 am
suefrad625
been on for 17yrs. time to see how i am after a divorce, marriage, raising kids, menopause...
9:06 am
BzznBea
Good for you. I'm not that brave.
9:06 am
suefrad625
after just receiving my 6 diagnosis, i am sick of the changing of meds,
9:06 am
bichon
sue, does your doctor know? Did he approve?
9:06 am
suefrad625
how do they diag you if you have been on meds for so long
9:06 am
MLFAN17
6 diagnosis?
9:07 am
suefrad625
bichon, we stepped down together. I am, it appears, very sensitive to the drugs and should have been fine by now
9:08 am
suefrad625
started as baby blues, depression (never felt sad), ptsd, bipolar and most recently, borderline personality disorder.
9:08 am
BzznBea
They do have a long half life.
9:08 am
suefrad625
5, sorry
9:08 am
MLFAN17
maybe its just an adverse reaction to your not being on them now?
9:08 am
suefrad625
the diags or the drugs bzz, lol
9:09 am
suefrad625
i just wanted to hear if someone has done this and how long until it gets out of the brain.
9:10 am
BzznBea
The drugs.
9:10 am
MLFAN17
sue considering the amount of years I assume it could vary
9:10 am
suefrad625
I understand it is like quitting smoking. the nicotine was out of my system in 7 days, but it took a good 3 mths before my brain was working again
9:11 am
MLFAN17
some drugs are stronger then others too so take that into consideration
9:11 am
SamanthaJoy
UGH, sue. I think the brain zaps go on proportionately to how long you've been taking them.
9:12 am
suefrad625
then I am in for a very Zappy Christmas i guess
9:12 am
suefrad625
at least it will be in florida on vacation
9:12 am
SamanthaJoy
I've never felt them, and I'm afraid to quit! LOL
9:12 am
MLFAN17
and unfortunately after that as well
9:13 am
suefrad625
it is the anxiety, bitchiness, short temper..... that i am trying to control
9:13 am

how's your Friday?
9:18 am

Is it Friday? Wow!
9:19 am
SamanthaJoy
So far slow. But I'm getting a hair cut and color today and I'm ridiculously excited by it.
9:19 am
moolingwa
I know how that goes...
9:19 am
mixi6
anxiety, bitchiness, short temper, may be why you've been on the drugs, they make my hubby sleepy and fat.
9:20 am
MollyL
Sue, have you spoken with your doctor. If you have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, I'm not sure why they took you off medication.
9:20 am
mixi6
of course he doesn't eat well either.
9:20 am
moolingwa
yeah, I have problems with food falling out of my mouth all the time
9:20 am

moolingwa
don't it love it when you have the really long complex word, but forget to type in the simple word that it starts with?
9:24 am
SamanthaJoy
"Love". Yeah. Sure. That's how I feel about it.
9:24 am
moolingwa
had one of the 8s, and hadn't typed the stem word for it
9:26 am
suefrad625
sorry my son was telling me about a news station he found and loves. One America Network
9:27 am
suefrad625
sam, i get that. but how do they diag you if you are on drugs for the last 17 years?
9:28 am
suefrad625
I dont even remember how i felt before the drug
9:28 am
suefrad625
i used to love getting up in the morning. I would create things and have energy
9:28 am
suefrad625
oh and sex felt like something
9:28 am
suefrad625
that would be really nice again
9:29 am
SamanthaJoy
Oh, see, I'm the exact opposite. I started the drug and a few weeks after, it was as if someone had taken a towel off my head. Suddenly a weight was gone and I could see.
9:30 am
suefrad625
Sam, you are amazing and that is exactly how it should feel.
9:30 am
SamanthaJoy
It's like, if someone told me that these drugs would cut my lifespan in half, I'd keep taking them, because ad least I'd get to live out my remaining years instead of sleepwalking through them.
9:30 am
suefrad625
I just dont know who i am now in my 50's and after menopause.
9:31 am
suefrad625
Sam i felt like that when they told me I am ADHD.
9:31 am
SamanthaJoy
I understand that! It's scary, really, how much effect a microscopic dose of chemical can have on us, isn't it?
9:32 am
suefrad625
i am not stupid, I could have been great in school
9:32 am
SamanthaJoy
I got diagnosed with ADHD this year and was like "THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH!"
9:33 am
suefrad625
AMEN sister. I felt such a burden off of me
9:33 am
suefrad625
I didnt let everyone down, I was doing my best with the way life was.
9:33 am
SamanthaJoy
I read my husband the list of symptoms and he just sat there going "Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep, that's you all right."
9:34 am
suefrad625
having a twin brother with photographic memory was a bitch to live with
9:34 am
SamanthaJoy
I imagine! Ugh.
9:35 am
suefrad625
But finding out that I am ADHD, was and is freedom. I am a great Technician because of my ablilties
9:35 am
suefrad625
I still cant read a manual and understand 1/2 of it, but I can draw it out and make it work!
9:36 am
SamanthaJoy
Oh yes! There's so much to be gained from our way of looking at the world. There are drawbacks sure bbut people ignore the advantages!
9:37 am
suefrad625
My son really benefited from me having to learn to work with ADHD and so did many of my students. because I had been there. God is great to allow us to pave ways for others, using our experiences, good, bad and the ugly.
9:37 am
SamanthaJoy
That's wonderful sue
9:53 am

I feel it too, Trif.

whoops sorry. not a word

I am almost afraid to turn the news on every day. It's either some other horrible thing our fake president has done, or some other powerful man revealed to be a complete louse.

I disagree that our country is a global embarrassment. There are still a lot of good things being done by good people. Especially those serving in our armed forces.

I'm watching the British House of Commons discussing our President's retweets of the anti-Muslim videos. It gives me hope!
4:54 pm
MollyL
I'm more concerned about people in the US and how they feel about Presidential comments than I am about what people in other countries think.
4:55 pm
harpjane
True but the tide is turning.
4:58 pm
MollyL
Maybe so, but it is the majority of the electorate who voted this President in. Until that tide turns, we will continue to have leaders who will not steer our country in the right direction.

The electorate, registered voters, voted Clinton by almost 3 million more votes.
5:02 pm
MollyL
True, but that is not how a President gets elected. Until the electoral college thing is re-examined, that will be the case. And we would be in a bad, or even worse shape, if Clinton was elected. We need the parties who put forth candidates to give the voters a decent choice.

jubi
Opinions are like assholes everyone’s got one. The illegitimate orange Cheeto is dangerous, racist and devoid of a moral compass
5:05 pm
jubi
He is an embarrassment.
5:08 pm
MollyL
I don't get into political discussions with people who use the term "illegitimate orange Cheeto". Nor with people who have equally disparaging terms to use about Hillary Clinton. There is no point.
5:09 pm
jubi
Oh, cause you are so much better than me.
5:09 pm
rubyfoo
what is the Cheeto reference? l've never seen it
5:10 pm

Orange hair of an unnatural shade, like a cheeto

This is the extent of my social media exposure

Today's NYT had an article about Fiona the baby hippo who has a Facebook series
5:17 pm

my sister is considering a trip to cincinnati solely to see fiona (she is in chicago)

There's a FB series about a baby hippo? Must look for it!
5:18 pm
ChampFit
Oh my gosh...how stinkin' cute!!!
5:18 pm
LeslieAnn
champ! she was born premature (but a hippo so still huge) so it was touch and go for a while. the zoo has been chronicling her progress
5:19 pm
ChampFit
This is amazing and awesome! I'm going to have to follow her.

Jubi, I never said I was better than you. Just that I choose not to get into political discussions with people who use your terminology.

Any US citizen has the right to have any opinion they want about politics and how a President gets elected in our country. However, until you get involved in changing that process, it will remain the same. And bitching about it on the internet will not do anything but give you a sounding board.

I agree totally with you Molly. I choose to stay out of the chat because all too often differing opinions crop up and someone forgets that a different opinion does not make you an idiot. Two topics I do not discuss,,,,religion and politics. My parents taught me "if you can't say somethiing nice, don't say anything." Now! Someone can tear me up for that.
