BobS: with you, Rin, kids......school ? Dr. D.: can't wait for the week to end... BobS: that bad eh? Dr. D.: Spring Break starts after classes Friday. Dr. D.: I am going to Toronto Saturday morning, until the 19th. BobS: AH HA, and trip to CA Dr. D.: It will be the most time we've had together since the wedding. BobS: AND healthy, right? Dr. D.: I am now, was ailing a bit earlier in the week, some GI bug going around, Gretchen had it over the weekend. BobS: yuck Dr. D.: Rin is the one who has been sick, she was home most of last week. Dr. D.: Ear and sinus infection, then pinkeye. BobS: how's the time line coming along?????? BobS: should be getting there BobS: no? Dr. D.: Final review of paperwork next week, then turn it in. Dr. D.: On the agenda for the trip. BobS: cool, and then....theoretically....... Dr. D.: 6 months later... BobS: six MORE months ??????? Dr. D.: alas yes :-( BobS: bummer dude, thought you only had one six month period Dr. D.: We deal as we can. Dr. D.: It took us 6 months just to get the marriage certificate from Ontario, they lost everything we sent them in August. Dr. D.: We had to go back to the minister in Windsor over Christmas to do it all over again. BobS: absence makes the heart grow fonder..........yea, right Dr. D.: They would not accept anything but the one original document they lost. Dr. D.: At least Rin keeps working. BobS: so you got legally hitched all over again? BobS: have the minister sign two fo the suckers BobS: of Dr. D.: Not another ceremony, but the same paperwork. BobS: you GOT to be KIDDING Dr. D.: One of her brothers had to sign as Best Man, 'cause my Dad couldn't make it to Windsor again. BobS: leave ANY important job to the government and what do you get???? SCREWED Dr. D.: I am not kidding. Dr. D.: They are the government, nothing I can do about it. BobS: so then the six month time line started over at years end?
moved to room Meeting Place Dr. D.: No the 6 month timeline will start when we get these docs filed. We couldn't file them without docs that we needed *THOSE* docs for.
changed username to Pamela Dr. D.: Hi Pam. BobS: HI Pam Pamela: Hello Pamela: I'm here, but have to pop away from my 'puter for a few minutes to say g'nite to Russell Pamela: I'll be right back, don't worry
moved to room Meeting Place Dr. D.: I am unsuccessful in getting Rin to login, she says she is too tired.
changed username to Judy BobS: well, THAT is a fine how do you do ........ Judy: Hi, Dr D and Pam BobS: tired OR sick BobS: didn't Rin have the Drushel sickness last wqeek????? Judy: how is your dad, Pam? Dr. D.: No she said she is just tired. Dr. D.: Hi Judy. Judy: Hi, again Dr. D.: I was at work until 7:30 PM, decided to stop for some supper on the way home, got in about 20 minutes ago. Dr. D.: I have 38 exams to grade by Friday. Judy: that doesn't sound like fun Dr. D.: Administrative interrupts keep taking me away from them. Dr. D.: I'd rather have the exams than the admin stuff that has rained down this week. BobS: go fast and then the students will be happy
moved to room Meeting Place Pamela: sorry about that folks, I'm back BobS: probably true, paper work is time consuming and boring Pamela: Hi, Judy Judy: hi, Pam Dr. D.: Only some of it is paperwork... Judy: How is your dad coming along Dr. D.: ...some of it is stuff that requires shuffling teachers and classes around.
changed username to Daniel Dr. D.: Yes how is your Dad? Pamela: not much has changed since Mom wrote the update on Monday. BobS: clue us IN my dear Daniel: hello! Judy: Hi, Daniel Dr. D.: You knew I was coming to visit next week, if he is up to visitors, Rin and I can stop by. BobS: didn't wxpect too much to happen Pam Daniel: are you ready to for march 11? Pamela: He has been moved to the orthopaedic ward and I gather from talking to Mom that the doctor was in tonite to tell him they're going to measure him for a brace Dr. D.: And that I offered to cook supper for your Mom, since she was kvetching about it last week. Dr. D.: Brace is good, better than surgery. Pamela: and then once the brace is ready, take him over to x-ray to ensure it's doing what it's supposed to Judy: that sounds like a step in the right direction Dr. D.: Rin says hi and good night to all via her Blackberry. Pamela: I'm sure he would love visitors Rich, just let him know you're coming so he has time to cover up Judy: say hi to her from us Pamela: Hello, goodnight, Erin Dr. D.: I'll pass it on. Daniel: goodnight 'rin! Pamela: when I arrived on Sunday afternoon he was uncovered to the waist - it's very hot in the hospital room BobS: he is sleeping "IN THE RAW" ????? Pamela: told him it's a good thing it was just me : ) Pamela: no, just had his hospital gown to the waist BobS: he is trying to get the nurses riled up Dr. D.: haha he doesn't need to undress to do that :-) Pamela: he's in very good spirits apparently - I haven't been over as I'm working on a cold BobS: then STAY HOME Pamela: I wish the damn thing would make up it's mind - I hate the incipient stage Judy: no, don't give him that!!! Pamela: either make me sick or go away Daniel: next week, we have to wake up one hour more earlier... BobS: sickness is going around here and you are "encouraged" to stay away if you are at all under the weather BobS: Daniel, when did yo sneak in ????? BobS: HI Pamela: Hi, Daniel - didn't see you BobS: sunday to be exact Daniel: statistics said it's the worst period of the time, many accidents occurs because of this hour change. BobS: really? Pamela: anyway Rich, just give him a heads up before you head over - he now has his phone active and I'll leave the number with Erin for you Daniel: loosing one hour of sleep :-P Daniel: bonsoir tout le monde Daniel: sorry for last week, I didn't feel good enough to be online myself. I asked my mother to say hello for me. Pamela: as for cooking for Mother, she turned down dinner with us last week, but by next week she may be sick of her own cooking and we may be able to talk her into a dinner with us Dr. D.: Your Mom said not to ever call there. Pamela: now that he's in a different room with an active phone, it's okay Dr. D.: I figured I would bring ingredients and cook in her kitchen. Dr. D.: So she could just dictate what she wanted to eat and I would make it. Pamela: the phone is right beside his bed and he can reach it no problem Dr. D.: Okay, we'll see if we can visit him. Pamela: good luck with that - I can't even get her to let me cook in her kitchen, and I know where everything is and everything goes! BobS: take her Pizza Hut Dr. D.: Well if she wants other cooks and no travel, she must agree to let others use the facilities. Dr. D.: I am a good cook, and not messy, I clean as I go. Pamela: oh good, can you teach Russell how to do that? I haven't managed it in nearly 20 years : ) Dr. D.: Deny meals until behavior changes? Pamela: unfortunately, doesn't work - he's the cook when he's home

Pamela: good to hear, Ron Daniel: hello ron Ronald MacBook: yeah..... nasty gastro - flu last week Pamela: oh, ick, Ron Judy: that is wonderful, Ron BobS: BAD BAD BAD Ronald MacBook: ya better believe it, pilgrim Ronald MacBook: I was here last week, but I wasn't all there BobS: but NOW, you are tip top and flying high Ronald MacBook: Yo! BobS: I remember that Ronald MacBook: I always know something's not right when I don't want to go near the fridge Pamela: actually Rich, one thing you might do with Mom is take her out and find her a relatively inexpensive laptop with 98 or XP, which is internet ready, that Dad might use in the hospital. It's something she brought up the other night Judy: that is usually a bad sign Ronald MacBook: indeed Pamela: Dad is suffering from computer withdrawal bigtime Ronald MacBook: Now I have to watch it, 'cause the appetite is coming back Judy: what happened to his computer, Pam? Ronald MacBook: I'll bet Pam. How's he doin? Pamela: just go back to your good habits, Ron, you'll be fine BobS: what about his laptop from home??????? Ronald MacBook: Well, last week at my Weight Watchers weigh in I was down 3.6 lbs in a week Pamela: not much has changed since Mom's update on Saturday. They moved him to the orthopaedic ward on Saturday and plan to measure him for a back brace tomorrow, after which they're going to start getting him on his feet, hopefully. BobS: or is that reserved for Frances whilest Richard is hospitalized Ronald MacBook: wouldn't recommend that weight loss method to a soul BobS: COOL Ron Pamela: problem is Bob, the laptop at home is the only one with e-mail and internet at the moment - the desktop is still somewhat dead Ronald MacBook: nothin worse than a dead desk top BobS: works for me,,,,,,,get another laptop, then when health returns, both mom and dad can come online
moved to room Meeting Place Dr. D.: Bob's solution sounds good to me. Pamela: it will run but is not internet capable at the moment
changed username to Guy B. Pamela: Hello, Guy! Guy B.: Greetings All!!! Ronald MacBook: Mr. Bona I presume! Judy: hi, Guy BobS: hi Guy BobS: send Richard a laptop Dr. D.: What will constitute internet-capable for the hospital? Do they have wireless there? Guy B.: Pam, how's your dad doing? Pamela: I don't know, Rich, that's something we'll have to investigate in the intervening time BobS: GET REAL doc.........we're talkiing sick people here Dr. D.: Well, I am fishing for capabilities, does it need wireless or just a 56K modem? BobS: although, when Judy's dad was having knee replacement, there was wireless inthe hospital BobS: BITH Dr. D.: And the hospital phone system might not be happy with dialup. Dr. D.: ala past ADAMcons Pamela: not much has changed since Mom's update on Saturday. They measure him for a back brace tomorrow after which hopefully they'll start getting him on his feet, Guy Pamela: hopefully I can find that out when I see him on the weekend Rich Guy B.: Oh good, he needs to get on his feet and try to walk a little. Pamela: he is in good spirits generally otherwise Ronald MacBook: The wards here have cable to each bed, but you have to pay for it, and that's for TV. Probably not for Internet access Guy B.: Good to hear, I'm glad he's making progress. We miss him here on the chat. Pamela: and he's missing everyone. He said on Sunday that he's suffering from computer withdrawal : ) Judy: how is your mother holding up, Pam BobS: probably TIRED Ronald MacBook: I would imagine Pamela: she's tired Judy, as you might expect. She has good days and bad days. She's not here tonite because she's just too tired Daniel: I have to install high-speed internet at home for my job. by phone it's 5mbits, cable it's 7mbits... almost the same limit of data transfer... but there is a special offer for the internet service by phone. Pamela: I hope that means she'll go to bed early and have a long sleep Judy: tell her that we are thinking of her, alos BobS: cool, high speed is nice, and I only have "low speed" high speed BobS: that make any sense ? Pamela: of course I will Ronald MacBook: Are they paying your bill Daniel? Ronald MacBook: that's like me being a junior senior BobS: yup that's it Ron Pamela: she will probably read teh transcripts in the next couple of days and see for herself : ) Daniel: well, based on what I understand, the company will pay for the internet, during the time I work for them. Judy: that is good BobS: I have the lowest high speed plan the phone company sells, about 10 times faster than dialup but about 50% of the highsest speed available Ronald MacBook: Sounds fair enough Daniel
moved to room Meeting Place Judy: works good enough for me

Dr. D. left chat session BobS: say HI to Rin Pamela: I'm going to see her Friday, I'll tell her Bob BobS: oki Pam Daniel: bell offer is 3 free months, then 3 months at $20, than the rest (6 months) at $33. that's $260 for one year of high-speed internet. Pamela: man this "only available in the US" stinks sometimes BobS: Harvie, mom going to have therapy for right side movement? Pamela: Harvie, how severe was her stroke? Speech impairment, etc? Harvie: Neurologist hasn't said yet but I assume so Judy: you can't get Hawaiian Punch in Canada, Pam? Pamela: not anymore Judy. We used to be able to get the powder, but haven't seen it anywhere for years Judy: bummer Harvie: Slight speech impairment when tired but not too bad for a 92 year old at other times Pamela: that's good to hear, Harvie Judy: that's good BobS: we pay $15 US per month for lowest speed DSL Daniel BobS: and it is great!!!!!! Harvie: If the mobility doesn't improve we will have to hire an aide for her Pamela: it's all I drank while in Chicago - I used up the the whole supply in the vending machine outside our room : ) BobS: want' go back to dial up for that Pamela: who's your provider, Bob? Pamela: (I should know this already) Judy: ok, Pam BobS: she has earned it HJarvie Ronald MacBook: got tied up phone folks will be back Harvie: I'll say BobS: SBC (AT&T) Pamela: ah BobS: one and the same actually, just work out of different buildings Daniel: if I convert money, bell special offer is between $18 and $19 per month. Judy: they don't know they are one company BobS: that's about right Danile BobS: Daniel Pamela: what happens after the first year, Daniel - do your rates go up? And are you locked into a long-term contract? Daniel: thanks bob Daniel: the offer is for new costumer, and for 1 year "contract". Pamela: Harvie, what hospital is your mom in? Harvie: Peel memorial /William Osler BobS: that is how we started, then after the one year, they wanted to "up" us to a faster plan, but we opted for the slow DSL plan and kept the cheap price Daniel: so, after 1 year, I can switch to another service if I want. Pamela: just be warned, Daniel, Bell has a nasty reputation for surprises after the special is over Pamela: and make sure there's no penalty for cancellation after the first year Daniel: don't worry, I will ask plenty of questions Pamela: Peel Memorial has a good rep, Harvie. How are you finding it? BobS: Bell companies are so screwed up, they dont' know if they are related to each other......... Daniel: anyway, all the internet provider I was looking for high-speed internet, have the same "pattern" of 1 year contract. Pamela: Bell and Rogers have gotten so big they think they can do anything they want and the hell with the customer. I'm unimpressed, to say the least Harvie: The emergency room is absolutely terrible, she sat in the waiting room 11 Hrs before she saw a doctor Pamela: did they do a workup on her at all in that time, Harvie? Daniel: don't worry, I will take care. Pamela: and did she come in by ambulance? Daniel: bonne nuit tout le monde, good night everyone! I'm leaving now Harvie: Triage nurse did an ECG and blood sample Pamela: good night, Daniel Judy: that is awful, Harvie Daniel: talk to you next week! Daniel: * poof * Judy: night Daniel Pamela: sounds like Sunnybrook
Daniel left chat session Harvie: Yes ambulance and yes terrible Guy B.: He's quick Pamela: I'm surprised, especially if she came in by ambulance - you would think they would have gotten those clot-busting drugs into her right away. That Pamela: 's critical to recovery as I understand it Harvie: I should slit the minister of health's throat and dump him there so he can appreciate how bad his "excellent" health service is BobS: that's right Pam Judy: and has to be given within a short amount of time Pamela: given our recent experience, I'm with you on that Judy: most of the ER's are like that BobS: hospitals SUCK anyway Harvie: you got that right Bob Pamela: there just doesn't seem to be any sort of system or organization to the way they deal with incoming patients BobS: I want to livfe to a ripe old age and then simply drop dead Judy: hope we can stay away from them for a while, we have been in too much lately BobS: s......l.....o....w.....l.....y....... Pamela: if I did my job the way they appear to do theirs, I'd be unemployed Pamela: I think a lot of ER staff could stand a time-management course or two Judy: between them and the weather people they are the same way BobS: wouldn't we all ????? Harvie: the personnel seem competent , just undermanned and under equipped Judy: neither does there jobs BobS: efficiency is the key problem Judy: and the doctors office isn't much better Pamela: just purely through one evening of observation, and what I was told by my mother, it seems worse when the incoming patient is older Harvie: this hospital is 350 beds, our new hospital tto open in the fall is a 700 bed hospital that will have just over 300 beds and the old one closed for renovations Judy: waited 45 minutes in the doctors office to be seen yesterday Pamela: maybe we should offload my VP/GM on the hospital for a month or two -they'd be running at peak efficiency in no time flat (too scared not to be) BobS: health care sucks BobS: \dont' get sick, just die Judy: what an attitude Pamela: clearly, "quality" and "care" are not two words to be used in the same sentence with health care around here Judy: they just are not in a hurry Harvie: She was depressed before the stroke but now wants to get mobile so she can kick someones ass Pamela: LOL, Harvie - I love it! Tell her to go for it! Judy: sounds like a good reason to get well Ronald MacBook: Friends phone at the wrong time BobS: at least you have friends Pamela: you could simply not answer the phone, Ron Judy: that is what answering machines are for Pamela: or be like me and go back to dialup - then they'd just get a busy signal Pamela: although as far as not answering the phone, that's tough - it's so ingrained in me to get it within three rings that not answering is not an option Harvie: Carrier Pigeons are the answer Ron Pamela: anyone know anything about pruning a poinsetta? BobS: yes, throw it out and get another next holiday season Pamela: I rescued it in Christmas 2005 - not going to throw it out now Judy: no, when it gets to that point I throw it out Harvie: We usually use Bobs method Judy: did it flower this past Christmas? BobS: do whatever you did in 2005, that will work Pamela: poor thing is back here and I keep forgetting to water it. It's growing, but because it dries out, it's getting sorta scraggly as leaves dry up and fall off Pamela: no Judy, I didn't bother trying Pamela: that fact that it's still alive is an accomplishment around here : ) Judy: then what is the point ? Pamela: it's alive, and it's green Harvie: Should be red Pamela: and despite the neglect, relatively healthy Ronald MacBook: no nothing about Poinsetta's Judy: they just grow outside down south, they get huge Pamela: think i'll move it back into the living room where it's in sight, and therefore in mind Ronald MacBook: you have to talk to it, and tell it that it's the most beautiful poinsetta in the universe Judy: good luck with that Pamela: lie to it???? Harvie: Looks like I have a family conference, see you all later BobS: if that is what it takes, YES Ronald MacBook: no, you have to tell it the truth, but you can spin the truth Pamela: best wishes, Harvie - take care BobS: hitn Harvie BobS: nite Judy: night Harvie Ronald MacBook: I mean, politicians do it all the time BobS: right Ron
Harvie left chat session BobS: that'd be quite right Judy: that is motivational talk, Pam Pamela: plants generally do not have a long life span around here. Up until we got the poinsetta, I haven't had anything green in here since 1997 Ronald MacBook: people get paid vast sums of money for being good at spinnint Pamela: we killed all the old ones during the last move Judy: see you can do it Ronald MacBook: I killed my spider plant, and that's supposed to be hard to do Pamela: I broke down last weekend and got a pot of succulents, and some bamboo Pamela: so, we'll see what happens Pamela: problem is, plants don't meow when they're out of water or food : ) Judy: I can do violets BobS: come on Pam, those are tropical.......adn Toronto is NOT tropical Ronald MacBook: yes, but if they start to droop and turn brown, the communication is just as effective Pamela: succulents are actually desert plants, Bob - they do well on very little water BobS: they look like theya re pucking, and then they need some water Ronald MacBook: Now violets..... my dear late mother (God rest her soul) had a special knack with violets Ronald MacBook: she could get them to actually bloom Pamela: mother's jade plant comes from a small succulent dish I got when I was around 10 Judy: I have them blooming all year long Pamela: (not sure what my grandmother was thinking!) Pamela: but thirty odd years later, it's still alive and well BobS: my forte is petunia's in the summer, boy do those babies bloom for me Judy: but then they die Pamela: I managed to kill a peace lily - beat that! Ronald MacBook: This year I have to do plant what deer don't like Judy: I have two of them and the one flowers Ronald MacBook: Have a list from my sister, but I've lost it. Pamela: was it on paper, Ron? Judy: check it out on the internet, Ron Ronald MacBook: e-mailed, and I honestly cannot remember whether or not I printed it out Ronald MacBook: She'll have it BobS: GOOGLE it BobS: EVERYBODY does it BobS: even I do it Ronald MacBook: Right..... I shall Google. Judy: Sher learned how to have baby bunnies that way, and it worked she helped with the births this morning BobS: most of the time it doesn't work Ronald MacBook: I know garlic works. Pamela: I thought the whole point was that having baby bunnies is easy! Pamela: (there's something wrong with that sentence, but I can't figure out what it is) Judy: don't know but she was excited with the results, they had 4 Pamela: awwwww Pamela: how cute Pamela: now she has to learn to gender type them in a hurry, or she'll have a lot more than four BobS: 4 buck naked tiny pink rabbits........GET REAL Pamela: c'mon Bob, small furry things are cute BobS: not furry, just naked Judy: yes, she was going to check that out next Pamela: they'll be furry soon enough Pamela: just beware, they poop everywhere Pamela: and a lot Ronald MacBook: Place to go is anywhere on the grounds of the University of Victoria. More bunnies there per square foot than you can count Judy: good for the boys, they want a farm, this is as close as they will get Pamela: sounds like the squirrels at U of T, Ron Judy: these are special bunnies, smaller than normal Pamela: did anyone catch the blurb on the news about the squirrels in Santa Monica? Judy: no, what did it do? Pamela: they've injected the squirrel population with birth control in order to control the population, which is apparently getting out of hand Pamela: can you imagine having that job??? Judy: sounds like a plan BobS: I'd rather jsut kill them BobS: got some pesky ones here I need to "do in" Pamela: remember Bob, small and furry is cute BobS: NO BobS: not when they empty the bird feedwers Pamela: we certainly have a well fed population around here Judy: not when they are hanging on the bird feeder Pamela: saw a squirrel recently so fat his belly was touching the ground - he could hardly waddle Ronald MacBook: Thought Bird Feeders were supposed to be squirrel proof Pamela: ain't no such thing, Ron Guy B.: Well folks, I'm going to take off here. Will try to get here earlier, buit with overtime and Annie. It's getting harder to do. Ronald MacBook: oh Judy: as least then he probably couldn't jump Pamela: understood, Guy. Have a good one! Judy: night Guy Pamela: (PRIVATE) Hugs to you Ronald MacBook: niters Guy Guy B.: (PRIVATE) Me too. Ronald MacBook: don't do anything I wouldn't do Guy B.: I won't. Guy B.: Poof

BobS: think my problem of being tired is all about the stress of a new job, etc, because the job is not hard Judy: don't know yet, have a call in to the school to find out that and times Pamela: it will get easier as you go Bob, because you'll have settled into a routine BobS: think so PLam BobS: Pam Pamela: but computer courses, right? Judy: yes, BobS: Judy's courses wil take 6 months to complete, so it won't be every day by any means Judy: I am taking 192 hours Judy: whatever that means BobS: try to learn how to "thwart" Bill Gates' office programs and let them allow you to type and figure reasonably Pamela: especially with Word, which has a large PITA factor Judy: Excel, word and billing, etc BobS: PITA factor?????? Pamela: pain in the . . . BobS: AH Judy: my goal is to get a job in a doctors office BobS: NOT billing, just paperwork BobS: my goal is to be like Ron, retired and busy Pamela: go for it Judy - maybe you can improve health care : ) Judy: ran into that trying to work on my written statement BobS: and, and, and work is getting in my way Judy: that is the idea Pamela: that reminds me, I need to check my lottery numbers from Saturday BobS: time to go............
