Thought for the night: When I'm tempted to laugh at someone else, I just look into the mirror and find all the material I need.....from a time to laugh

Hello the Brit: Welcome aboard

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:48:42 PM)
Hi Froglady

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:48:54 PM)
How are you feeling this week?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:49:24 PM)
I'm fine now; how are yu doing?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:49:34 PM)
I am getting over Thursh. That is a fungus in my mouth and throat

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:49:53 PM)
I had that once.......terible!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:50:01 PM)
Yeah!

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:50:35 PM)
I'm taking a Spanish class here at Oak Crest!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:50:37 PM)
It is caused from the Advair, but I have to have that to breathe so they prescribed Nistatin which I will probably have to always take

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:50:58 PM)
Oh IC

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:51:29 PM)
I got it in hospital when I was on heavy antibiotics

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:51:38 PM)
brb

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:51:43 PM)
ok

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:54:52 PM)
Sorry about that. My housekeeper needed to speak to me

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:55:04 PM)
No problem

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:55:08 PM)
Okay, you are taking

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:55:18 PM)
spanish lessions, How do you like them

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:55:41 PM)
Also my Dad got thrush for taking too many antibiotics when he was in the hospital too

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:55:47 PM)
Yes.....just conversational....so I can talk to some staff here better

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:56:08 PM)
I have been teaching myself conversational Spanish for a few years now

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:56:21 PM)
I can read it pretty good, but can't speak it very well

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:56:23 PM)
I'm enjoying it

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:56:34 PM)
My son-in-law is Spanish and he helps me with the words

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:56:39 PM)
I can't read it at all

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:57:01 PM)
I never took any languages in school

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:57:03 PM)
I read everything I find written in Spanish, even the canned food. lol

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:57:10 PM)
Me neither

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:57:20 PM)
Did you read the transcript from last week. Jo was on

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:57:48 PM)
No, I didn't read last week's tx

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:58:00 PM)
She is coming on tonight too---I think

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:58:09 PM)
I'm sorry I missed her! Darn!

brit (Jun 23, 2008 9:58:16 PM)
I hope so

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 9:59:49 PM)
I walked Pokey through logging on and she figured it out fine

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:00:52 PM)
Is your weather getting pretty warm now?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:02:29 PM)
You should be here this week. It has gotten up to 116 out here

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:02:42 PM)
We are naving beautiful weather now.........75-80

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:02:48 PM)
Not quiet so hot in Tucson though

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:02:54 PM)
Wow, that's great

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:02:59 PM)
No thank you!

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:03:19 PM)
Humid this weekend, then cool agaiun]

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:03:26 PM)
what I don't like about it being so hot is that it is too hot to go over to Jo's and visit. lol

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:03:29 PM)
Ic

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:03:51 PM)
I couldn't stand that heat!

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:04:24 PM)
My typing is getting worse unless I slow down LOL

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:04:31 PM)
We stay inside under the AC so that works out well except that a person needs to be able to get outside some.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:04:50 PM)
Need that Vitamin D!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:04:55 PM)
Right

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:05:17 PM)
I hope my being able to type holds up. I would really miss it

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:05:19 PM)
I can't imagine what AC down there must cost

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:05:56 PM)
Atrocious that is what it costs. We cut back on all expenses to be able to afford it, then, we just got notice it was going up about another $20 a month

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:06:09 PM)
We can run our central air all summer for only about $100 per month

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:06:26 PM)
Wow, ours is that much in the winter

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:06:33 PM)
Oh no!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:06:36 PM)
I mean electric

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:06:43 PM)
That doesn't take in gas

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:07:12 PM)
My kids have large homes and their AC costs around 4 to 5 hundred a month

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:07:38 PM)
Right......I was quoting elec also.........in winter elec is about $65, Gas is about $80

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:07:41 PM)
We used to have swamp coolers, which was much less expensive

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:08:01 PM)
Wow

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:08:28 PM)
Our water is also very expensive. That is why we don't have lawns

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:08:42 PM)
To have a lawn would cost around $100 a month for water

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:08:44 PM)
I don't see how some young couples can even afford to live what with car payments, house payments, etc.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:09:01 PM)
And things are getting so much worse

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:09:15 PM)
Water is really cheap hee as you can imagine

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:09:36 PM)
It would be so neat if all that flood water could be chaneled out here

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:09:57 PM)
However, our monsoon is fixing to start so we should be getting a bit of rain soon

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:10:10 PM)
Wouldn't it though........I sure feel bad for those people

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:10:20 PM)
I don't like the monsoon season because I can't breathe so well then

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:10:37 PM)
Because of humidity?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:10:38 PM)
Yes, I do too. It is awful how much so many have lost

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:10:43 PM)
I guess

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:11:22 PM)
Do you know how to define oxidative stress?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:11:39 PM)
These natural diasters take all your irreplaceable stuff and wash it away

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:11:39 PM)

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:11:51 PM)
Hello there Gypsy. How are you tonight?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:12:05 PM)
Oxidative stress?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:12:28 PM)
Hello Gypsy.......good to see you! :-)

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:12:29 PM)
Yes, they say that is what happens to the muscle cells in FSH

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:12:40 PM)
hi froglady and brit

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:13:07 PM)
Oh really Froglady? Where can I read about it?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:13:33 PM)
I haven't heard of it

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:14:03 PM)
I was looking under the what's new way back to 2003 and there was an article about it

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:14:17 PM)
Hmmm.....

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:14:47 PM)
(This user has entered FSHD Chat)

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:14:48 PM)
I am going to research it later because it would seem that there should be something on the market to keep the oxidative stress down. Seems like I have read something like that

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:14:55 PM)
I taught my last US Govt class today

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:14:57 PM)
Hello Ole Barn: Welcome aboard

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:15:11 PM)
Hey there Barn!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:15:16 PM)
Oh really. I didn't know you were teaching a class like that

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:15:23 PM)

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:15:37 PM)

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:15:43 PM)

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:16:58 PM)

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:17:57 PM)
Oh yes......Froglady's sister I believe!

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:06 PM)
I did not make it, however, there were 193 candidates for three positions. There were exactly 2 rounds of voting. The second round consisted of the top six vote getters. I made it to that round. Not bad for old cripple huh! LOL

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:14 PM)
Hi Everyone,,,,,,,,,its been kinda hectic around here last couple weeks with memorial day and graduation parties to attend

It was a deal of fun and excitement

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:39 PM)
Hey da Birdie. look who's on tonight

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:39 PM)

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:46 PM)

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:49 PM)
hi birdie

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:18:59 PM)
I'll bet it was Barn. Wouldn't it be just the most if one could go to that convention

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:00 PM)
Hi everyone

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:22 PM)
HI Birdie.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:24 PM)
You really done well to get as far as you did. Maybe next time

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:38 PM)
Birdie, Pokey had to change her handle

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:38 PM)
hows it going with everyone?

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:42 PM)
In case you can't tell I'm a Democrat. If Obama wins I am one of the electorate in the state of Oregon because I cheered the fifth Congressional District Democrats. That is a great honor

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:19:56 PM)
what did she change it to?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:20:01 PM)
Wow, it most certainly is. That's great!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:20:18 PM)
Who Pokey?

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:20:26 PM)
yes

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:20:28 PM)
I meant why Pokey?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:20:29 PM)
Congrats Barn.......I'm with you

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:20:57 PM)
Jo-s, birdie.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:21:12 PM)
Birdie, what is happening in Old Ms tonight?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:21:26 PM)
Barn, are you all having nice weather?

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:21:32 PM)
Uh.......who's on first!?

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:21:40 PM)
not a blessed thang!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:21:47 PM)
LOL

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:22:04 PM)

Yes birdie.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:22:25 PM)
I'll catch up!

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:22:37 PM)

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:22:37 PM)

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:22:56 PM)

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:06 PM)
i'm in the process of getting myself an electric scooter, does anyone know if it takes very long to get one?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:10 PM)
Brit, after chat tonight I will find that place about oxidative stress and forward it to you

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:22 PM)
Jo I hear you're a real van driver!

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:41 PM)
I'm doing better birdie.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:42 PM)
OK TY Froglady

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:47 PM)
It depends Wolflady. My first one took forever, then we learned the process and the next one was quicker

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:23:57 PM)
Yes, that's the word brit. lol

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:24:15 PM)
wolf, sometimes it can be pretty long...has a lot to do with your dr and the tech that handles it...

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:24:16 PM)
Good for you Jo!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:24:19 PM)
Wolflady what kind are you getting?

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:24:57 PM)
Be tinyThe Oregon Democrats have goals for numbers to be delegates like women, black, Hispanic, GLBT, Asians/Pacific Islander, and Native American; but even though one of every five Americans has some form of disability and there is no goal in Oregon for the disabled.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:25:01 PM)
I usually got mine rather quickly

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:25:14 PM)
jo, I have really missed you being on here when I am here....

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:25:21 PM)
okay froglady, i contacted the MDA here and they said they would get things going for me. I already had a doctor order/presdcription sent to them last week.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:25:35 PM)
That's a shame Barn

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:25:42 PM)
Sorry, I'll pay better attention to what rest of you are saying now that I'm done complaining.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:25:58 PM)
Then, wolflady, I wouldn't think it would take very long

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:26:07 PM)
i hoping for the "4 wheel all-terrain" kind, froglady

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:26:13 PM)
LOL.......that;s OK Barn

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:26:17 PM)
LOL Barn. That's okay. We understand that dilemma.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:26:32 PM)
What you're saying is interesting too!

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:27:39 PM)
I'm lucky that my situation affords me the opportunity to participate as much as I can.

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:27:41 PM)
I have one 4 wheeler.......they are good outdoors, but not in

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:27:47 PM)
I have a question for all of you. Where was the most favorite place you ever lived.

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:27:56 PM)
birdie, I have missed being on the chat, but my mental state of mind just hasn't been good for some time, but I am doing much better. You know I lost my husband in February.

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:28:23 PM)
i want it for outside, i do okay in the house without it and my house is very tiny lol

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:28:34 PM)
Right here in Holland MI Froglady

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:28:41 PM)
yes, jo, I heard and tried to send an email but dont know if you got it or not....

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:28:47 PM)
Where I am now.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:28:47 PM)
My favorite place was Union Landing,

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:28:54 PM)
California

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:29:27 PM)
If you go to google and type in Union Landing State Park, you will see where I lived. It has been turned in to a park. It is on the ocean

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:29:30 PM)
um froglady, the only place i have ever lived, good old tiny town of Grey Eagle, MN

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:29:33 PM)
Milwaukie Oregon

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:29:43 PM)
my favorite place to live was Longview TX...didn't live there but about 6 months but it was a pretty place...

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:29:47 PM)
Sounds neat Froglady

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:30:02 PM)
But then I loved TX too

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:30:13 PM)
I am going on to google and type in what you guys say so I will know where your favorite place is. LOL

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:30:18 PM)
Union Landing was a happy place for me also froggie

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:30:31 PM)
What a neat town name Wolflady!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:30:35 PM)
Tucson is good because of the MDA clinic and the winter weather

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:30:51 PM)
Quiet area, closest big mall over 5 miles away, closest freeway on-ramp 5 miles away. One might say I'm 30 minutes from anywhere, which is just fine with me and my wife.

jo-s (Jun 23, 2008 10:31:10 PM)
However, we could do without this summer weather froggie'

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:31:11 PM)
Jo & I lived there when our husbands were working in a sawmill at Rockport, CA back when we were very young

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:31:20 PM)
Grey Eagle is very small, pop. of 300 everyone knows everyone

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:31:22 PM)
I think I'd like OR too Barn

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:31:42 PM)
That sounds neat Wolflady

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:31:56 PM)
Now, I have been to Holland, MI and I know how beautiful that place is

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:32:06 PM)
There are five distinct areas with the weather being the consideration in Oregon.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:32:18 PM)
Like so Barn

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:32:34 PM)
I've heard that about OR Barn

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:32:40 PM)
I like the will and the Valley because it very rarely gets below 20° in the winter and soul of the above 100 in the summer usually averages around 80 or so in the summer and 35 in the winter.

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:32:46 PM)
it is nice, i've known pretty much everyone all my life, so it makes it easy for me when i need help

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:32:52 PM)
TY Froglady.......we love it

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:33:12 PM)
Wolflady, that certainly is helpful

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:33:17 PM)
Gypsy, are you still here?

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:33:22 PM)
yes

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:33:52 PM)
I love Oregon too. My son used to live in Salem for a few years

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:34:42 PM)

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:35:54 PM)
Vernonia is a good 30 to 35 miles from where I live

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:36:02 PM)
Gypsy, what's the name of your town?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:36:15 PM)
I went to see my friend once and made her stop at many of the apple trees along the way, finally she said, I'm not stopping at one more apple tree or we will never get home. They just grow by the side of the roads. I couldn't believe it

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 10:36:16 PM)

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:45:10 PM)
I once got one in NY that said "Keep NY clean, eat a pigeon"

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:45:11 PM)

birdlegs (Jun 23, 2008 10:45:52 PM)

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:46:12 PM)
Ah.......red and blue.........preferably blue!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:46:17 PM)
gypsy, that was a happy moment for me. I started out with a really nifty Rascle and I could beat the others in a race

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:46:31 PM)
i ate pigeon onc , brit, not bad but a tad on the dry side like duck

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:46:36 PM)
I'm sorry Birdie........I love birds too!

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:46:51 PM)
Brit did you ever eat a pigeon?

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:01 PM)
i don't like feeling so out of control

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:14 PM)
No Froglady, and I probably wouldn't

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:17 PM)
and am worried about tipping over

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:27 PM)
Gypsy, getting a scooter is when you really are in control

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:42 PM)
i don't seems to have a ny racce instints

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:51 PM)
Well I finally can think of something you all don't know about me. I once ate rattle snake meat

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:55 PM)
Yes Gypsy, a scooter is good for control

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:47:59 PM)
LOL Gypsy

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:48:00 PM)
all i feel is out of control

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:48:08 PM)
Yuk!

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:48:08 PM)
that was one of my concerns gypsie, that is why i requested one with 4 wheels inside of 3

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:48:37 PM)
the one i have been lend only has 3 nearly tipped ti over a coulpe of times

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:48:59 PM)
i tried rattle snake too, froglady, but it was over cooked

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:49:01 PM)
you can't seems to go anywhere of do anything i them

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:49:11 PM)
how do you maange to open doors ?

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:49:22 PM)
It wasn't too bad Brit. Jim was out hunting and landed right in the middle of two when he was running to retrieve a quail he had caught. He shot and the bullet went through both snakes so he cooked them

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:49:49 PM)
Migosh!

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:50:21 PM)
i also requested an "all-terrain" scooter, gypsie, then you can go more

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:50:22 PM)
Gypsy, doors are a problem unless you can push them with yor scooter

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:50:51 PM)
it's not a matter of request it a matter of what i can afford

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:51:06 PM)
lots fo steps around here too

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:51:07 PM)
Gypsy, you have to learn how to deal with doors. Many times they have electric openers, but bathroom doors is where I have my most trouble

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:51:08 PM)
If I'm alone I wait for someone to mcome along

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:51:22 PM)
and i would be scared of running peolpe over

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:51:33 PM)
that must be hard brit that could take for ever here

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:52:07 PM)
Gypsy if you ever get a scooter you will have to go to a parking lot or somewhere there are not many people and learn to drive one. My Mom ran over everything and everyone who got in her way. lol

brit (Jun 23, 2008 10:52:26 PM)
I try not to get in that situation

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:52:30 PM)
lol froglady

wolflady (Jun 23, 2008 10:53:00 PM)

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:54:47 PM)

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 10:54:50 PM)

gypsy (Jun 23, 2008 10:54:59 PM)

Gypsy, our arms just aren't strong enough to carry things. I have to hold on to keep my balance when I stand so I don't have a spare hand to carry anything even if I could

I believe that everybody goes through life in their journey, and the decisions that are made on the way have to do with choosing personal priorities.

froglady (Jun 23, 2008 11:17:56 PM)

Barn, they say that life is a journey, enjoy the ride, and what a ride it has been for me

Ole Barn (Jun 23, 2008 11:18:41 PM)
