1:24 am

rbud

they say you shouldn't lie in bed awake wishing for sleep, just get up and do something... and here you are. :)

1:26 am

rbud

personally, reading knocks me out, but I have to be tired to start with for that to work.

1:29 am

flosey

so true, can't read in bed though, the light would bother hubby - sooooo, babble on!!

1:52 am

sprite

good morning all

1:53 am

rbud

hello! :)

1:53 am

sprite

*hugs rbud* How are you doing today?

1:56 am

sprite

get up and do something utterly boring, they say. Usually, I cannot sleep because of too much pain, so that does not work, lol. Listening to the sound furthest away from you sometimes does it for me... or doing a sudoku or logic puzzle... sometimes simply reading until I sleep but that can take until 6 am.

1:57 am

rbud

long day. but not too bad. I've picked up a little bit of a runny-nose bug and cough, but it doesn't feel like it will hang on too long. I hope.

1:58 am

sprite

plenty of fluids, vitamine C and honey, honey :)

2:04 am

sprite

flosey, if you want to read in bed, get an ereader with light and e-ink technology. It is just like reading a normal book, except with lighted pages.

2:22 am

sprite

*hugs flosey and rbud*
*leaves hug in chog for rose to find*
And to all, a blessed day and a peaceful night. Will prolly be back later.

rubyfoo

5:20 am

rubyfoo

lt's a kind of a running joke amongst my various friends and caregivers that l can take so much

5:21 am

Kallia

5:23 am

Kallia

Trifioso

it's tertiare;s last night at home....asked what she wanted me to make her for a special dinner, got "im going to bethony's" because GOD FORBID she realize that maybe I wanted to spend some time with her?

10:11 am

Trifioso

whatever. She can go. but it does sting

10:12 am

car.eeyore

Sorry about that...but it is consistent with her behavior all this summer. I'm sorry

10:13 am

car.eeyore

I wish JB would have the thought to invite you and yours to their house for dinner

10:13 am

Trifioso

fWIW, secondo, her roommate's parents and I were talking over such things, and secondo remembered a TOTALLY crappy thing she had done to me when she was a teen, and apologized for it - took ten years, but there you go!

10:13 am

car.eeyore

That's what I was trying to tell you in the car that day...but not getting it across at all

10:13 am

Trifioso

I wish JB had too. Does it never occur to HER that I might like to have my own kid at home for the last night?

10:14 am

Trifioso

it's hard to trust it will come, and it's hard to wait ten years.

10:23 am

Haz1558

10:24 am

car.eeyore

good morning

10:24 am

Trifioso

thanks haz. can we maybe talk about something else, please? I gotta pull myself together - if she sees me crying she will skewer me.

10:25 am

car.eeyore

You can come pull weeds with me!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL

10:25 am

Haz1558

No problem. What will cheer you up?

10:25 am

Trifioso

ugh, I have enough of my own, thanks! I had cleared out whole areas that have come back with a vengeance.

10:26 am

Trifioso

a time machine, haz - so I can peek ahead and see that it WILL all come right....

10:26 am

bichon

Our daughter was awful to me until she got married. Now we're besties

10:26 am

Haz1558

Ah, they are awfully expensive, Trif.

10:27 am

car.eeyore

<---- 7 words left...all DE's

10:27 am

Trifioso

that is encouraging, bichon thank you. I fear she will always prefer the glittering, beautiful boyfriend's mother to me

10:27 am

Trifioso

Car - are you babbling from your new office?

10:27 am

Haz1558

Just listen to us old crones instead - It will be okay. Not that bichon is a crone, of course.

10:28 am

car.eeyore

In my kitchen at my lovely dining room table...windows open...pandora blasting away

10:28 am

Trifioso

crones are great! They are wise, learned old women! The whole thing about them being unseemly got added later, to discourage women from being smart - CRONES rule!

10:28 am

Trifioso

oh, I can just picture it, car! how lovely and peaceful for you!

10:28 am

Haz1558

That's the spirit! Crones of the world unite!

10:29 am

bichon

10:30 am

bichon

a woman without a filter

10:30 am

Trifioso

my sisters in law and I bonded over the hideous things our common MIL used to say to us

10:30 am

Trifioso

I absolutely vow NEVER to be like that

10:30 am

Haz1558

Settling back for tales of mothers-in-law.

10:32 am

Trifioso

lolol haz - she was just used to being the only woman in a house full of men...resented the other chickens in the roost

10:32 am

bichon

my gdaughter stay with us for a week and she had the nerve to ask her [age 7] if she had lost any weight

10:33 am

Trifioso

UGH - that is cruel!

10:33 am

Haz1558

Such a shame. I see the lack of filter, bichon.

10:34 am

Sally-catlover

Half watching the chat, half in the grid. That's just so ignorant, bichon.

10:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, Sally. Any tales of mother-in-law to share?

10:35 am

Trifioso

my MIL stayed home to be a housewife, which is FINE, total respect, but she would RAIL on me from the day I got married if I was not working, suggesting that I was some gold digger after her boy. One time I really put my foot in it - we had just moved to DC, and speaking on the phone, she demanded - DEMANDED - to know if I was working. I said "no, are you?" That went well.

10:35 am

Sally-catlover

Evil cackle. Mine are both dead (I've had two).

10:35 am

car.eeyore

fun fact: her MIL absolutely LOVED me LOLOLOL

10:35 am

rururocks

my ex-MIL didn''t approve of me because I wasn't Jewish

10:35 am

Haz1558

Oh of course, your MIL is Irish, Trif. They kind of expect their boys to be looked after.

10:36 am

Trifioso

ruru, are you a dad? I somehow never caught up on that

10:36 am

bichon

same here ru. I am Jewish

10:36 am

car.eeyore

Fireworks

10:36 am

Trifioso

10:36 am

Haz1558

By looked after I mean that they are treated as though incapable of any domestic activity save putting the bins out.

10:36 am

MLFAN17

Trifioso

rururocks

facebook sometimes does good things.. i recently reconnected with a former student and friend

10:45 am

MLFAN17

that is awesome ruru

10:47 am

Trifioso

they are wonderful! It started as a group for LGBT individuals that have been abandoned by their biological families, but has grown into a real network of people without families due to geography or politics or whatever, and they stand up for each other. I list myself as being in the Boston area - if a person without a mother needs someone to go wedding dress shopping with, bring them brownies during finals week, stand up at a christening, whatever, they can call on me.

10:47 am

Haz1558

se plus a wrongly spelled word meaning lazy, lacking in activity.

10:47 am

MLFAN17

I have an se 5 ending in n am I supposed to do something to the end of that word to make it a 6?

10:48 am

Haz1558

No, it's a completely different word.

10:48 am

Trifioso

10:52 am

Haz1558

Very much a real word.

11:01 am

mattygroves

May I have the tiniest of nudges, please?

11:01 am

Trifioso

I have my own internal light, ruru.

11:02 am

Sally-catlover

Matty, it would help you if you got the two connected words. De 6/27, and de 7/40. They are verbs, different tenses.

11:02 am

Sally-catlover

If you want a more specific clue I can give it.

11:03 am

Sally-catlover

I should say they are all the same verb root, not different verbs.

11:03 am

mattygroves

I have those....(I assume you mean the word that means to opt for something or a course of action, and that word with an extra vowel in it, probably meaning to kill a god)

11:04 am

Trifioso

nope, not those matty

11:05 am

Sally-catlover

No, those are different. An artist might de 6/27 someone.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

11:14 am

rururocks

defending ducks isn't what it is quacked up to be

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

we wondered if they were there in honor of a loved one or just enjoying the expanse. there was a carillon.

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

why do ducks need defense? they are cute but once mama steps off the curb, there they go.

11:20 am

rururocks

ducks need defense because people are always down on them

How is your mother?

6:00 pm

zoozzoom

No problem, Gapeach! Hope all is well with you?

Mother is the same. She is down to eight stone now. Doctors do not seem to give a damn.

6:02 pm

periwinkle

zooz, does your mom not want to eat or is she not able to eat. 2 different things

6:02 pm

Perhaps another doctor is needed.

6:03 pm

She eats although she does not feel like it and when she does it will come out from both ends. She can not seem to keep nything down for long.

6:03 pm

zoozzoom

Been like this now since Christmas.

6:04 pm

zoozzoom

Take care, Peri.

6:04 pm

gapeach

Oh, golly, zooz. Is there another doctor close?

6:05 pm

zoozzoom

Yep she has seen a few and been to the hospital. Keep giving her all types of medicines but she can not keep them down.

6:06 pm

gapeach

Is there a gastro specialist there?

6:06 pm

zoozzoom

I told her I would pay for private hospital care for her but she just will not have it. She is a stubborn as my step dad.

6:08 pm

zoozzoom

Not sure to be honest, Gapeach. She is getting frail now and does not leave the house. She has gone down hill very fast. My sister and I try to help but they just keep refusing our help.

6:08 pm

gapeach

I know what you mean there. Have you done the "guilt trip" on her? It used to work on my mom. I would tell her that I just was not going to give her up.

6:08 pm

zoozzoom

One time my dad was very bad So we called an ambulance out and he turned them away.

6:09 pm

zoozzoom

Oh gosh yes I have tried that. She just gets rather moody and reverses it back onto me. lol

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had that as well. my mother only agreed to go if they would not turn on the lights/siren.

6:11 pm

gapeach

I really need food now....be back soon.

6:11 pm

zoozzoom

I get so despreratly frustaingly angry inside and want to scream swear words at them to get proper help. But I also have to respect what they want.

6:11 pm

zoozzoom

Enjoy, Gapeach!

6:12 pm

I have had my little rant. Will get ready to retire for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!
