been golfing? we had a two day scramble last wednesday and thursday, and then rain and crazy winds until today. (i golf at 3pm today - ladies' league)

hi saaaaaaan!
11:14 am
saanichcat
hahaha I like that!
11:15 am
hokie carla
I've been golfing a lot but struggling, so I'm moving up to the forward most tees and just playing for fun, not doing the ladies days.
11:17 am
welki
i understand - and am hoping this afternoon's gals want to play best ball. glad it's only nine holes this afternoon - i can't make it through 18 if i have to hit all my shots (i really stink at golf, but it's that occasional good shot that keeps me going back)
11:17 am

11:21 am
hokie carla
I get killed by penalties and whiffs
11:21 am
hokie carla
I got 103 the other day but from the front tees. my goal is to break 100 this summer.
11:23 am
welki
why wouldn't you play from the front tees - are they the red ones?
11:23 am
welki
we have gold, blue and red - but i've seen white (even further up) at some other courses
11:24 am
hokie carla
we have 2 ladies tees. most of the younger or better golfers play the 4s. I can't remember if red is 4 or 5. I think the other is orange. I lose 8 strokes if I play 5s instead of 4s.
11:26 am
welki
wow - i can't ever say i saw where someone gets penalized for playing from a certain tee box. here, ladies play red, average men golfers play blue, great golfers tee off from the golds. if they're over 75, men can tee off on the reds
11:27 am
welki
we do have a few women golfers who can easily play from the blues or golds if they want to
11:27 am
hokie carla
it's just the handicapping system
11:28 am
welki
sounds too complicated for me. when i'm down there next time, it'll be mini golf for you and me :)

i like mini golf
11:28 am
welki
(you'd want me on your team for my putting - i'm a savant)
11:28 am
hokie carla
we just added a combo where there are 6 holes from the 5 and 12 from the 4. that one only docks me 4 strokes. but I heard the low handicappers only lose 2 strokes by playing it, but it's 4 for me. so that makes no sense.
11:29 am

12:27 pm
hokie carla
well, I was diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis which is year round, but it's always worse in the spring so I'm thinking there is something i'm allergic to.
12:27 pm

12:28 pm

I did a month of allegra and then tried claritin for a week, then went back to allegra and then stopped because nothing was working. I do flonase some.
12:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
did flonase for years then it seemed to stop working. i really liked it.
12:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
i stopped claritin now on allegra.
12:36 pm
hokie carla
when I saw the ENT that diagnosed the non-allergic rhinitis, he said really only patanase somewhat works. I should try to get a new scrip for that.
12:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
is that a prescription?
12:38 pm
hokie carla
was hoping maybe it was OTC now but google just said no
12:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
at least covered vs. otc?

5:33 pm

Bourbon, scotch and gin are my go to alcohols
5:35 pm
MollyL
I'm a straight-up Jameson Irish girl. I'd go a good Scotch but the good stuff is out of my price range.
5:36 pm

Ever since I started drinking liquor straight, gin makes me gag. But I can handle a gin and tonic on occasion.
5:36 pm

I have lots of Scotch.. lots.

I can do bourbon on occasion. I had some Uncle Nearest recently that wasn't too bad.
5:38 pm

I like Middleton Irish Whiskey that's pretty nice stuff
5:39 pm
MollyL
That is also WAY out of my price range.
5:39 pm
rururocks
I don't buy it for the same reason
5:39 pm
rururocks
I can buy nice bourbon for a fraction of the price of Middleton
5:41 pm
rururocks
I bought a super expensive Middleton for a 50th birthday present for a friend of mine. He said he was going to cherish it and savor it. He polished it off in two weeks.
5:41 pm
rururocks
He's Irish. I have never seen anyone in my life hold liquor like this guy
5:42 pm
MollyL
Is that your Irish friend who drinks like Marion Ravenwood?
5:42 pm
rururocks
from Indiana Jones? Yes
5:42 pm
rururocks
he could bury her

People with tolerance levels like that have to tell doctors and anesthesiologists. They need to be double/triple medicated/sedated.
5:46 pm
rururocks
yeah.. maybe

I've only been knocked out once for a colonoscopy... never had a hospital stay in my life.
5:50 pm
MollyL
No maybe. A high tolerance relative heard that directly from an anesthesiologist.
5:52 pm
rururocks
thanks.. i'll mention it to him as a note of reference

It was described as a medical anomaly. Patients with a tolerance that high usually present as alcoholics.

My family are not alcoholics but we do have a high tolerance for alcohol and anesthesia. My sister had to go to the hospital for a wisdom tooth and I woke up in the middle of my colonoscopy asked them why it hurt so much before they knocked me out again. Now I know.
6:00 pm
MollyL
Do people in your family have a high threshold for pain?
That factors into the problem with medicating pain as well.
6:01 pm
rururocks
They asked me if I wanted to watch the colonoscopy on the TV screen.. Uh NO
6:01 pm
bookwomen
I do. I have a very threshold which can be a problem.
6:02 pm
rururocks
I have a threshold for pain but not super high.. I'm not usually a complainer with pain
6:03 pm
MollyL
I do too. And yes it can be a problem because you sometimes deal with pain longer than you should.
6:04 pm
MollyL
That high threshold for pain probably explains the 11-pound baby, non-cesarean birth of my middle son. Whee!
6:05 pm
bookwomen
exactly which I did one time. The doctor kept asking why I wasn't in more pain. On the plus side they let me out early once the problem was fixed since I was not in pain. And I do not need to take a lot of pain killers.
6:06 pm
MollyL
Painkillers only give me half the relief. They were not very helpful after either of my surgeries.
6:10 pm
rururocks
pain killers are a twisty road. But I'm in favor of people who need them getting relief.
6:17 pm
rururocks
I was just under 11 lbs when I was born too Molly
6:18 pm
rururocks
that was before they had pain killers :D
6:22 pm
MollyL
I had big boys. 9, 10 and 11 pounds. The first two, 9 and 11 were no drugs. I said hell yes to an epidural with the third 10-pounder.

mY brother was large too.. a little heavier than me

Physical size has nothing to do with the birthing process. A cervix dilates the same no matter what size you are.
6:27 pm
rururocks
that's what she said
6:28 pm
MollyL
It's a common misconception that hip size plays a role. It doesn't.
6:30 pm
rururocks
well if men had to give birth there wouldn't be a species
