1:49 am
sprite
how are you doing, Kam? Healing up properly? Did you reschedule the doctor yet?
1:51 am
sprite
40C would be way too hot for me, no matter when or where. Well... except in the spa sauna.
1:51 am
Kamanjah
Rescheduled first available - Jan 4! I have to find another local doc - love this doc, but he took over another practice and is very busy. I'm still a bit rough, but got a rental today, so I have transportation - the preliminary estimate was well over $10,000
1:51 am
sprite
horrible :(
1:51 am
grannyrose
awww kam... that's terrible
1:53 am
Kamanjah
I'll likely be ok, just takes time for older bodies to heal, and one insult on top of another...but nothing else is going wrong!
1:53 am
sprite
knock wood, now!
1:53 am
grannyrose
how's Michael doing?
1:53 am
Kamanjah
For sure! They say bad luck comes in threes, we had our three, so we're done.
1:54 am
grannyrose
ouch sprite. please don't knock so hard on my head... mwahh
1:54 am
Kamanjah
He has been running me all over several counties - never a complaint from him. He looks terribly tired, though.
1:54 am
sprite
it was all in a good cause, rose. *gently pats rose on her head*
1:54 am
grannyrose
good for him Kam
1:56 am
Kamanjah
I don't know what I would do without him, he is such a sweetie! Never a harsh word, even when I screw up.
1:56 am
sprite
we all screw up from time to time. He as well as you. And that is what we are partners for, right? To have eachother's backs, no matter what.
1:57 am
Kamanjah
Exactly!

I vote for senorito as a gender-neutral word for a young spanish person

that was not supposed to be a stopper
2:02 am

He just went to bed, so I tucked him in and got what I needed out of the bedroom...
2:03 am

aww sweet :)
2:03 am

sorry honey. on the news.. first bushfire for us happening this afternoon. not near us, but gut-wrenching never the less.

*hugs rose*

Kamanjah
I was trying to process the -ito ending for a language that has male and female words too and could come up with anything, lol
2:04 am
Kamanjah
Sorry to hear that, Rose. Fires suck
2:04 am
grannyrose
it was deliberately lit. a fast moving grass fire.
2:05 am
sprite
arsonists should be burned.
2:06 am
Kamanjah
I'm sure you know how angry that makes me - burn them all! Calif has had so many awful fires the past few years...we even had a few start up after 4" of rain over the past few days.
2:06 am
sprite
it is bad enough when they are caused naturally. When through carelessness or even worse, intentionally... makes me pissing mad too
2:07 am
grannyrose
brb. nature calling....
2:07 am
sprite
and our rose, so obedient, goes and answers right away :)
2:08 am
Kamanjah
Michael talked to his Dad's friend who got burned out in the last one. He's ok, has an apartment 2 hours away from his property - and decided not to go see it because residents are only being allowed 10 minutes at their property. Can you believe that?!!! 10 minutes to see your life in ashes?! Made me furious
2:08 am
sprite
that is so unfair
2:09 am
Kamanjah
I know. I feel so badly for him - his wife passed about 6 weeks before the fire, and her car burned up. He's lost all he had left except memories. Waahh :'(
2:10 am
sprite
goes to show how uncertain all our 'certainties' are in life, doesn't it
2:12 am
Kamanjah
I take nothing for granted any longer...what happens...happens.

fill in the blank for 3 points: this morning I came down to the kitchen after getting ready for work. I noticed it was super cold out, so I went outside and started the car, (something I rarely do) to let the car warm up. I then went back inside, put my lunch in my bag, poured my tea in a travel mug, and then spent a frantic five minutes looking for my _____________________.

7:45 am
Trifioso
lolol bzzn we are best friends for life! I also tried to open my house door with the bathroom key from work, that was a good day
7:46 am
Trifioso
i feel a little better now, that you all guessed right away....maybe I'm just human, after all?
7:47 am
BzznBea
Of course you are.
7:47 am
welki
*cues up rag and bone man* morning, all
7:48 am
MollyL
Remember when you didn't need a key to get into the bathroom at work? Those were the days.
7:48 am
BzznBea
We all have so much going on in our lives and we are usually thinking of "What's next to do" and not on the mundane things.
7:48 am
Trifioso
please, I am THRILLED to need a key! Having a bathroom to myself is a luxury, after the last gulag I worked in!
7:50 am
MollyL
Oh, nice. Ours are public, multi-stall bathrooms. They are locked to prevent people who don't work in the building from using the rest rooms. An odd trend that has taken hold around here.
7:51 am
Trifioso
that I do hate! Something I LOVE about Ireland, and Europe in general, is there understanding that humans need access to bathrooms. Every store there has a toilet. It's so not a big deal.
7:52 am
BzznBea
Is the locking the doors an odd trend or the people coming off the street to use the bathrooms, Molly?
7:53 am
MollyL
I think locking the doors is odd. There are a lot of vistors in our building (several doctors offices) and I find it a pain for people to have to ask for a key to the rest room.
7:53 am
Trifioso
nbt ---> feeling fmitch level smug
7:54 am
mael
got the 9s and the 10 all by myself, that's my smug for the morning :)
7:54 am
MollyL
I suppose it is the result of theft or vandalism.
7:55 am
BzznBea
Yes, I can see that. We have so many homeless, there are "No Public Restrooms" plastered all over windows here.

Crazy, isn't it, mixi?
7:59 am

And it is not healthcare, it is insurance care.
7:59 am
mixi6
yup. even looked at private insurance, and still didn't have any options.
8:01 am
mixi6
most said 1) we don't do individual plans or 2) we don't do individual plans in your state.
8:04 am

I know people don't like it, but my daughter went with the former Obama care and was able to get full coverage for a doable premium.
8:05 am
mixi6
That's what I did, but everyone we use is now out of network.
8:06 am
phaeton
She had to make a change in her docotors, but the alternative was a higher premium or no insurance
8:06 am
mixi6
alternative is no insurance only.
8:08 am
phaeton
Is there still a penalty to have no insurance?
8:08 am
LuvWordGames
I don't think there is starting in 2019
8:08 am

don't know. not worth it to have no insurance, not that we use much.

*Sigh* Early retirement sounds dreamy.

I took early retirement because Mr. Bich was still working.

CT is a very easy state to get good health insurance
8:37 am
BzznBea
In NC, it depends on the county in which you live as to the insurance you can get.
8:38 am
bichon
I'll put up with cold snowy weather to have good insurance
8:43 am

And we are expecting an inch of snow this weekend. Guess I better get to the store for bread and milk before it is all gone...=)

i hear you! They tried to take away my bamboo knitting needles once - I had specifically purchased bamboo ones especially for the plane ride too! I told them I would accept that if they took every pencil away from every one on the flight. They let me keep them.

In what is almost certainly sheer coincidence, I also can't remember the last time I got a full 5 hours of sleep in any given day.

Still tho, it's been a long time for me since I considered listing with 63 words left. Is everyone having this experience, or am I just more tired than usual?
