wow rose, going strong. The physical regime is paying off, it seems. Good job. No ill effects from the poisonous vapours yesterday?

Hi all. Hi Hurshy.
2:09 am
Kamanjah
Hi, I'm here. What's up, Hursh?
2:09 am
hurshy
my husband went for a walk at like 9 (usual), but he isn't back yet and it's midnight (unusual)
2:09 am
hurshy
i texted him and it says delivered but not read
2:10 am
hurshy
i called and it went straight to voicemail
2:10 am
hurshy
should i call the nearest hospital or is that premature and overreacting?
2:10 am
Kamanjah
Maybe his battery died?
2:10 am
Kamanjah
That is scary
2:11 am
Kamanjah
What time does he usually get back?
2:11 am
Lizlin
If he's not usually out that late or long, even if his battery died, he might need some help. So yes, I'd call someone.
2:11 am
hurshy
he just finally texted
2:11 am
hurshy
he says he is fine and on the way home
2:12 am
hurshy
thanks anyway
2:12 am
Lizlin
Let him know you were concerned.
2:13 am
Kamanjah
Huge sigh of relief - my hubs will do things like that - runs into an old friend or stops at Lowe's and is 3 hours late. I'm busy checking all the highway patrol reports to make sure he didn't crash. And...what Liz said!
2:14 am
Lizlin
Definitely. Even a message from hi to say he was running late would've helped you.
2:15 am
hurshy
it's awkward because we're probably going to divorce soon
2:15 am
hurshy
so we kinda are just roommates
2:16 am
hurshy
but even then if a roommate were out later than usual like that i would be concerned
2:16 am
hurshy
anyway, nighters
2:16 am
Lizlin
Ah! But it's still not fair that an unusual situation like that should cause you worry and a message doesn't hurt - especially between friends.
2:16 am
Kamanjah
That's rough. I understand - even when the road is rough, communication is paramount
2:16 am
Lizlin
Sleep well
2:17 am
Kamanjah
Hang in, Hursh, hope you can relax and sleep.

Oh, I see.
7:30 am
lil*monkey
Dont' quote me, but I believe I heard it is about 6hours of diving to get the boys.
7:31 am
carleekat
each station set up within, they are bringing llof the boys to each station... 3 stations contained.. the last section no water. is a dry section of climbing through the cave and they were anticipating carrying the boys on stretchers through that section... i
7:31 am
Scrabbler
A fascinating system.
7:31 am
carleekat
that last section is 1 mile long...
7:32 am
Scrabbler
I am sure they have a carefully planned system.
7:32 am
carleekat
( 3 dives within the journey )
7:33 am
lil*monkey
Yes just found the source that said divers took 3 hours to reach the boys. But it's not 3 hours straight diving.
7:33 am
carleekat
so that some are coming out... means they are all coming through that dry section over land at the same time.. they had a triage set up at the final staging area with doctors
7:33 am
carleekat
ambulance arrived at hospital
7:33 am
lil*monkey
So scary that these boys cannot even swim, and they are being asked to scuba dive. I can't imagine.
7:34 am
carleekat
they would pep them up... there were emergency o2 tanks every 50 metres
7:35 am
lil*monkey
CNN now saying four MORE boys will walk out of cave soon
7:36 am
lil*monkey
So this rescue is going waaaaaay better & faster than predicted.
7:36 am
Scrabbler
What a relief that this is working well.
7:36 am
lil*monkey
Yes I agree! The coach must be very relieved. That is a hard burden to have on him.
7:37 am
Scrabbler
Yes, he has been criticized AND hailed. He did keep them alive too.
7:37 am

Yes but I'm sure he is regretting his initial decision to take them in there.

Just starting the grid?
5:17 pm
Nef
No, I was trying to do the grid last night at flip & kept falling asleep
5:17 pm
libarebel
hi kate-- yup busy-- I decided to build a book/tool case for myself out of milk crates...
5:17 pm
Nef
I'm 1/3 way through now
5:18 pm
libarebel
The tutorial on Pinterest looked easy :[]...
5:19 pm
Nef
I take it that it wasn't as easy as it looked, Lib?
5:19 pm
TraderKate
Well done Nef, I just got here.. miles to go.
lib, college days furniture ;)
It's not as easy as they made it look?
5:19 pm
libarebel
you are correct, Nef...
5:20 pm
Nef
I love to look at those; but haven't tried any of the ones I've been interested in yet
5:21 pm
libarebel
Well, I decided to be fancy & stained the outside dark ma****** & the inside bright turquoise-- the tutorial said to stain both inside & outside...
5:21 pm
Nef
and how did that go?
5:22 pm
libarebel
Nef-- expect it to be more difficult, though it came out pretty well...
5:23 pm
libarebel
The stain was really drippy, & I had to paint the inside w/ 3 coats-- also, very precision paint job-- narrow slat edges & all...
5:23 pm
TraderKate
Striking colour combo!
5:24 pm
libarebel
good thing I took painting in art school...
5:25 pm
libarebel
Ty Kate, if I do say so myself, colors are quite striking-- now I don't want to litter it w/ books & tools :D
5:25 pm
Nef
My daughter does a lot of the pintrest ideas out of pallets (she has access to all that she might want she says). I haven't done any projects yet because I just found pinterest ideas this past fall & had to have hand surgery (arthritis) before I could do some of those things
5:26 pm
Nef
I'm all better now; just need to carve out some time for doing stuff.
5:26 pm
libarebel
I am healing from a broken wrist-- more challenging-- why do I torture myself so :[]
5:27 pm
libarebel
How's your hand healing, Nef?
5:27 pm
Nef
LOL! that sounds like you like to challenge yourself!
5:27 pm
TraderKate
Are you both healing up well and getting good use back?
5:27 pm
libarebel
Oh, all better I see-- good!
5:28 pm
Nef
I am, Kate; but my keyboarding skills are still lacking! :-D
5:28 pm
TraderKate
:)
I see the instrument 45 doesn't have is in the grid LOL
5:29 pm
libarebel
Mine is fully functional, but PT lady (excellent) said it would hurt for a year or so...
5:29 pm
TraderKate
Surely they will improve wtih time Nef..as you use wrist more, it will get stronger? are you doing wrist curls or naything to make it stronger?
5:30 pm
TraderKate
wow.. I guess we should ask Nef why it wuld hurt for so long after?
5:30 pm
Nef
Kate, the word "brain" isn't in the grid (45's missing instrument
5:31 pm
libarebel
I broke my right tibial plateau in a car accident, then fell from 1 tippy toe, lost balance & fell, bracing myself w/ my left hand & broke wrist-- the doctor looked at my X-ray & said "what a mess!"-- bedside manner could use improvement...

PT makes all the difference for long term full usage, I think... good for you continuing all the exercises
5:35 pm
libarebel
smart, gemini-- I just dove in!
5:36 pm
Nef
I did have PT. I meant (jokingly) that my typing skills (which are lousy) haven't improved; it's not that my hand isn't healed, it's that I still can't type well. My surgery was for the base of my thumb
5:38 pm
TraderKate
You did that crystal stand gemini? It is - WOW!

I had surgery in January, was in a soft cast until March; surgeon not satisfied with results in May; still have to continue doing exercises, (not in PT) etc. & see him again in August
5:38 pm

OOh-- the thumb gets taken for granted-- very useful part of hand/wrist
5:38 pm
gemini_J13
difficult to see it... I haven't glued it yet,,, just trying different ways to put it together
5:38 pm
TraderKate
Is there a chance that surgeon will have to "go back in" Nef?
5:39 pm
gemini_J13
I went to an auction and ended up buying 15 boxes of junk for $12.50 ~ that glass was some of what I got
5:40 pm

5:40 pm

I had painful putty squeezing exercises (for strength & others for mobility-- it really paid off to get through the pain before it felt better...
5:40 pm
TraderKate
The top part looks interesting, can't figure out what it was..looks like a pieve of stemware with two bowls!
5:41 pm
Nef
It's possible, Kate; it depends on how it feels & his decision. I had the same surgery on my non-dominent (rt) hand 7 years ago, it was a breeze. But between odd anatomy and nerve involvement; this wasn't as smooth
5:41 pm
TraderKate
Ouchie lib :(
5:42 pm

But, if you have to get it done, the sooner the better. More chance of full recovery and use???

11:35 pm
Nef
LOL! I am supposedly dog-sitting for my ex daughter-in-law while she's in the hospital (attempted suicide). Her boyfriend broke up with her; she's bipolar and (if this follows her usual pattern) she won't want them back. 1 is a year old, the other is about 10 months old.

harpjane
I hope your ex dil is okay, Nef
11:51 pm
Nef
Me too, harp. I'm a bit worried about what she will do once she's out of the hospital; she has no place to go except back to her mothers' house (which she doesn't want to do).
11:53 pm
Pinikula
am5 = friend (female, then male) = spanish
11:54 pm
Pinikula
likewise, Nef. I hope she comes out on the good side and take care of herself.
