1:35 am

good morning all

1:36 am

Kamanjah

Hi Sprite!

1:36 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello there :) How was your day?

1:37 am

Kamanjah

*hugs*! Good day - first date night in a couple of years too!

1:37 am

sprite

oh wow! How did it go?

1:38 am

Kamanjah

It was a good time - saw Cheech and Chong. I'm not much for stand-up comedy, but hubby loves it. Just wish the venue had been a bit more comfortable re: seating

1:39 am

sprite

ouch, I hear ya. Kind of takes away from the enjoyment when over the evening you start hurting allover.

1:41 am

Kamanjah

Hubs had to get up and stand along the wall for the last couple of bits they did, he was too crowded. Little chairs - not man sized at all.

1:41 am

sprite

lol, he could have got up and be the stand up comedian

1:42 am

Kamanjah

He was between me (135) and a large woman with a very large purse that she put between the two of them...

1:42 am

sprite

at least he wasn't cold :D

1:43 am

Kamanjah

Hahahaha!

1:44 am

Kamanjah

He did have to take off his coat - they did have good air flow at least, but it did get warm. It was a sold out crowd and we hadn't been in that venue before. Don't know that we'll go back either. The stage was dinky, and all seating was foldup chairs on a flat floor

1:44 am

Kamanjah

How are you doing?

1:45 am

sprite

not at all comfy. And your husband should be comfy at the very least.

1:46 am

sprite

I am good. One day at a time.

1:46 am

Kamanjah

Right now, he needs *all* the comforts he can find, but he's dealing like a trooper.

1:47 am

sprite

yay for him. Hard to keep a good man down.

1:48 am

Kamanjah

Yep! I told him tomorrow is his to do whatever he wants or doesn't want to do - rest all day and don't move a muscle if you don't want to.

1:48 am

sprite

awesome. That should help him recharge.

1:49 am

Kamanjah

Hope so. Not moving is what his body needs to try to heal, I think. Back to doc Monday, hopefully the med they put him on has had a chance to work.

1:49 am

sprite

*fingers crossed*

1:50 am

Kamanjah

thanks!

1:53 am

Kamanjah

I'm missed Rose yesterday, is she healing on schedule?

1:53 am

sprite

I missed her too. Wrote her an email, have not yet heard back. I hope she is improving every day.

1:54 am

Kamanjah

Hoping all is going well with her - what a scare!

1:54 am

sprite

wasn't it just! Am still shaky from it.

1:56 am

Kamanjah

Once we hit a certain age...we never know what's around the next curve. Did this get found when she was getting a treatment for pain?

1:57 am

Kamanjah

Or was it one of the 'out-of-the-blue' scares that rushed her to a different doc?

1:57 am

sprite

no, she had a minor heart incident recently and had some follow-up checks

1:59 am

Kamanjah

Oh. Well, I guess it's good it started as minor and she was being followed.

2:00 am

sprite

am beyond grateful she got this minor incident as a heads-up, and was treated in time to prevent a major one.

2:01 am

Kamanjah

Yes! Blessings in disguise.

2:02 am

sprite

indeed. We never know if something is a curse or a blessing in disguise, do we.

2:04 am

Kamanjah

Nope, it starts off seeming bad, but something worse is found and fixed before it kills one - has happened to many I know

2:04 am

sprite

indeed, same here. Somehow, the older I get, the more I realise that gratefulness is the only rational state of being.

2:04 am

Kamanjah

Amen!

2:05 am

sprite

mind you, I stray from that many times a day, lol... but deep in my heart I know this is true.

2:09 am

Kamanjah

Easy to stray...life isn't perfect. Keeps us on our toes! But health issues are the worst. Little ones aren't so scary, but sudden occurrences are frightening. I don't know how medical care works in other countries, but here, you need to get sick on a weekday or have to use the ER, and insurance hates that, so it's really expensive.

2:11 am

sprite

we have an in-between step, the GPs that are on call for the weekend or night. They see you and decide whether or not you need to go to the ER. Or even, if it is really urgent, you go straight to the hospital.

2:14 am

Kamanjah

Yeah, if it's a real immediate problem, the ER is fine, but GPs take weekends off and tell you if you feel you have to be seen, go to the ER. If it can wait, that's when the insurance balks. All they do is the minimum at the ER unless you're bleeding out or something, and ship you home to wait until you can get an appointment.

2:14 am

sprite

time for me to go. *hugs Kam* Have a peaceful night, and a very relaxed day tomorrow.

2:14 am

sprite

*leaves a hug in chog for rose to find*

2:14 am

Kamanjah

Have a lovely day!! *Hugs*

2:44 am

Kamanjah

Here's another hug for Rose to find...
g'nite from Calif!

4:57 am

DTins

5:00 am

5:00 am

lbdawger

5:02 am

MollyL

5:03 am

lbdawger

ty Molly!

5:37 am

rubyfoo

Hello

5:37 am

rubyfoo

Is anybody here?

5:38 am

sukee

Hi Ruby, just here for a few more minutes

5:38 am

rubyfoo

then a quick "hello"

5:38 am

rubyfoo

How cold is it theree?

5:39 am

rubyfoo

lt only took 6 tries, but l finally got the fire to "take"

5:39 am

sukee

Right now -7, feels like -14

5:40 am

rubyfoo

Is that F or C?

5:40 am

sukee

We are expecting plus temperatures on Monday

5:40 am

sukee

C

5:41 am

rubyfoo

Here it's around 0C but very cold in the house

5:41 am

MollyL

it is going to be 50 here tomorrow and 59 on Tuesday. Hell yeah.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

Do you go out when it's so cold?

5:41 am

sukee

My apartment is cold too, drafty windows.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

The crocus might come up, Molly

5:42 am

sukee

Sometimes I do go out in it :)

5:42 am

MollyL

It has been very cold here this week. If I lived somewhere that it was that cold all winter, I would be clinically depressed.

5:42 am

sukee

Can anyone point me in the direction of the SA 6/21?

5:42 am

sukee

I hear you Molly.

5:43 am

rubyfoo

yes, sa + catch a rabbit

5:43 am

MollyL

The sa6/21 is like a golfing pitfall without the nd in the middle

5:43 am

sukee

TY

5:43 am

sukee

nbt

5:43 am

rubyfoo

l think it is a kind of royalty

5:44 am

rubyfoo

l still can't find the at from the bottom a

5:44 am

sukee

at 4/5

5:45 am

sukee

AT + slang name for mother

5:45 am

sukee

and plural

5:45 am

sukee

I think that is the right one

5:46 am

sukee

or AT + device to turn on water

5:46 am

rubyfoo

nope, l have those

5:47 am

sukee

hmmm

5:47 am

MollyL

The bottom a words are the ones Sukee just clued

5:47 am

MollyL

at4 and at5

5:48 am

rubyfoo

thank you, l was using the M

5:48 am

sukee

Breakfast time.

5:49 am

sukee

50 to go.

5:50 am

MollyL

It is interesting how language varies from place to place. People here don't use the three letter ending of that word for device to turn on water. Faucet seems to have replaced that word.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

Here it's robinet

5:51 am

MollyL

We use the three letter word for how to control flow of a keg

5:52 am

MollyL

You Europeans love those et endings. I think serviette for napkin is one of the funniest words I have ever heard
: D

5:52 am

rubyfoo

they use robinet for that

5:53 am

MollyL

Somehow, beer would seem too prissy if it came out of a robinet
: D

5:53 am

rubyfoo

The French have too many verbs and not enough nouns

5:53 am

rubyfoo

and serviette has two meanings

6:01 am

Buggie

actually, at least three: napkin, towel, and briefcase

6:07 am

MollyL

Damn, I would hate to have someone hand me a briefcase when I got out of the shower
: D

6:07 am

MollyL

A napkin wouldn't really do the job either

6:09 am

rubyfoo

4meanings

6:09 am

rubyfoo

4*

6:10 am

rubyfoo

Memory fails me; where in France are you, Buggie?

6:12 am

Buggie

Poitiers, on the other side of the country :)

6:12 am

rubyfoo

AZ2h, how could l forget? Had an old beau who taught at the university there

6:13 am

rubyfoo

Spent weeks there a long time ago

6:13 am

Buggie

there are 3 reasons for coming here. Uni, visiting old buildings, and the Futuroscope theme park

6:14 am

rubyfoo

l loved it, at least for a while

6:58 am

MollyL

What is Uni?

7:00 am

MollyL

Oh, I guess it is some sort of abbreviation for university.

7:00 am

MollyL

Or a sea urchin. At least that is what Google says.

hi ruru. I am only here until my computer goes weird again. Yesterday, in the middle of my game, I wasn't able to enter any words and couldn't turn the thing off. I had to unplug it for the night and so far, all is good but. . .

Why call it a poo?

5:03 pm

.. I'm not fond of poodles

because that's what they are called if they are a mix like that

5:04 pm

MLFAN17

never owned one but had some relatives who had some toy poodles

5:04 pm

rururocks

so a shitzu and a Poodle cross would be a Shitzpooh?

5:05 pm

rururocks

or if you cross it with a candy bar you get a snickerpoodle?

5:05 pm

Poo, Ru. Stick with the cutesy-pie poo ending

Toy poodles are obnoxious dogs mostly> I have only met a few nice ones.

shih poo is what they are called I just googled it

there's a breath mint ce4/4, then pl it (with 2 letters)

8:00 pm

(you have to go up & down between the first 2 rows, if that helps)

8:03 pm

eieios

I swear i tried every combo but that. 🙄 Thanks!

8:05 pm

Nef

no problem. How are you doing lately? I haven't been on here much lately; & it seems as though when I am here, there aren't many people chatting.

9:49 pm

origami

Hi Babble buddies.

10:00 pm

Nef

Hi Origami. I've been cleaning out my email account

10:01 pm

Nef

(I'd hit a brick wall & couldn't see any more words; so got rid of about 200 unread emails)

10:01 pm

origami

I need to do that.

10:02 pm

origami

How are you Nef?

10:03 pm

Nef

Fighting off a cold today; getting ready to go to see my brotherover Christmas & all 3 of us adults in the house woke up with colds today

10:03 pm

Nef

How are you doing?

10:04 pm

origami

Sorry you

10:05 pm

origami

Sorry you're under the weather. The horrific burn on my wrist is finally healing!! The infection is under control now.

10:05 pm

Nef

What did you do? How did you burn yourself?

10:08 pm

origami

Pressure cooker burn. Scalding steam followed by pressurized boiling liquid. 3rd degree burn. Not a good thing. But it is on the mend finally!

10:08 pm

origami

It is definitely going to leave a mark :D

10:08 pm

Nef

OUCH! Did it explode, or did you get impatient?

10:08 pm

origami

I had a nasty reaction to Neosporin, which is what caused the infection. Be wary of Neosporin.

10:09 pm

origami

It was operator error.

10:10 pm

Nef

Wow! Did you put Neosporin on the burn?

10:11 pm

Nef

So I bet it's on your dominent wrist, then? Not good at all!

10:12 pm

origami

Yes. And that was what was recommended. But, then the rash developed and I thought I should put more on. Which just made things worse. The steroids and antibiotics are now helping.

10:12 pm

Nef

So you are now allergic to Neosporin?

10:13 pm

origami

Of course, my right wrist. I should just email you about wound care, Nef!

10:13 pm

Nef

No, I'm sorry I'm so nosey.

10:14 pm

origami

Yes. On my revisit, the doc told me there are some ingredients in Neosporin that a lot of people are allergic to. She didn't tell me that earlier!

10:15 pm

origami

Don't be sorry! I will consult a good nurse next time. I really think nurses know more about wound care that docs.

10:15 pm

Nef

Oh, Wow! That's even worse!Did she at least mention which ingredients cause problems for others? (It would be good for you to know, I would think)

10:16 pm

origami

neomycin is the culprit.

10:16 pm

Nef

I'll agree with you about wound care on the whole. Nurses do the dressing changes & "request" what to treat wounds with.

10:17 pm

Nef

That is really good to know for your sake.

10:17 pm

origami

That's why I'm consulting with you next time :D

10:18 pm

Nef

There are certain vaccines that you should be careful with if that's what you are allergic to.

10:19 pm

Nef

It's the MMR; vaccine

10:19 pm

origami

Really? I will be sure to mention that before I have any vaccines.

10:20 pm

Nef

ANd here is a quick list of drugs to stay away from:Cross-reactions:

Framycetin
Gent\namicin
Kanamycin
Paromomycin
Spectinom\nycin
Streptomycin
Tobramycin
Co-reacts with bacitracin

10:22 pm

Nef

You should also tell your dentist & primary doctor about your reaction too.

10:23 pm

origami

Ah, I had a bad reaction to Streptomycin years ago. Thanks!

10:23 pm

origami

It really is a lot better after two days of the steroids and antibiotics.

10:24 pm

Nef

Then, if you've had a reaction to streptomycin in the past, that would have caused you to have this reaction too. Had you ever used Neosporin before without a problem?

10:27 pm

origami

Yes. I have used it before with no problem. But not for so many days on the same spot.

10:28 pm

origami

I won't be using it again!!!

10:30 pm

Nef

from now on, stay away from the Neosporin and Bacitracin; because each time you have a reaction, your body builds up more antibodies & mast cells & will react worse(stronger against it) from then on.

10:33 pm

origami

Will do! Hopefully I will never have an injury like this again! 3rd degree burns are not nice!!!

10:35 pm

Nef

They are severe burns. Just remember that you can't rush a pressure cooker too.

10:35 pm

origami

Indeed, Nef! :D

10:37 pm

origami

Sorry to dominate the chat with gross wound care talk.

10:39 pm

Nef

I used mine the other night and was in a hurry to fix supper to get the grandson to his Tae Kwon DO class on time. (I'd forgotten to take anything out of the freezer earlier). But I did remember that to cool it down fast; I put it in the sink & ran cold water over it.

10:42 pm

Nef

Oh, origami; to nurses; this wasn't gross at all! We could have gotten into the whole size, depth, color, exudate, etc. of the burn; then serious details about the rash! ;-) THAT would have been gross!
I would think that what we discussed might be helpful to others here...

10:44 pm

origami

I should have taken pics and sent them to you! :D I told the doc I saw for the visit a couple of days ago that they like gross stuff. She admitted it was true and even took a pic of my disgusting wound. Weirdos!

10:46 pm

Nef

LOL! Well, that picture may go into your chart; I'm not sure about your state rules & regulations (nor my state R&R's either now) but we used to have to take pictures of wounds & then measure them & compare them with previous pictures too.

10:47 pm

Nef

In order to make sure that they were healing properly.

10:51 pm

origami

That's what she claimed. I asked her if she was going to show it around to her friends. She steadfastly denied it with a grin on her face.

10:52 pm

Nef

Friends no; HOWEVER, she may show it to others who care for you (the old HIPAA rules, you know)

10:53 pm

origami

I know. I was just teasing her :D

10:54 pm

Nef

Shew could show it to a wound conference if there is no identifying information on it. :-)

10:56 pm

origami

Yeah. Under the title of "This is what can go horribly wrong."

10:56 pm

Nef

(Sorry my typing is full of errors. I'm finally giving up & having surgery sometime next month for my arthritic thumb base joints)

10:57 pm

Don

10:57 pm

Nef

did you finish the grid?

10:57 pm

origami

Don't use Neosporin! Hope it goes well, Nef.

10:58 pm

origami

No. Didn't finish. But signing off to finish a painting. Cheers.

10:59 pm

Nef

No neosporin, I'll be casted & the doc informs me that my hand will be unuseable for 3 months (I've ben putting it off because it's my dominent hand; but the steroid injections just don't work much any more.

10:59 pm

origami

Let me know how your surgery goes, please.

11:00 pm

Nef

you will see lots of typos, but I will try! :-D

11:02 pm

Nef

You take good care of yourself, ori. And behave too! I can only imagine how much that must have hurt!

11:05 pm

origami

Behave? That

11:05 pm

origami

That's a lot to ask of me :D

11:09 pm

Nef

I know. That's why I said it! :-D

11:11 pm
