INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

FierceBluebird

Sas, I had no idea being radioactive was so much work! I did see your kitten today, he's quite cute with that special glow.

And another perk is finding your toilet paper in the dark:

Sassy, glad the pain has gone! I think your new avatar has actually gotten rid of my headache

Love all the photos! Great way to start a day. (Chevy, I may be borrowing your last one)

For Sassy,

With all the bathroom talk,

OMG ROTFLOL. It's 1;37PM EST WOLK AT 1:pm. Owlettes. So, much learning my head is full. 

Convinced my way was the right way. , but wish I knew on Monday what I finally put together by Wednesday. LOL. FBB yes I had no idea the work, but now I can write a protocol that works. I'll send it to the NRC and say you guys work this in too your protocol cuz no one in the USA is doing it.

I used to do this type of thing in the early days of EMS. Lordy, but without a computer. Then wrote what an employee health manual, and administrative policy and procedures manual that the two dovetailed each other, making everything match up. 

The beginning point I learned was always, look for the MODEL plan. Now we have Clinical Practice Guidelines produced by the Government or the BIG national organizations. In case of the employee health manual & PP in 1988, shoulda been a piece of cake. Source model should have been NIOSH/ OSHA/ Code of Federal Regulations LOL  didn't exist. FBB akd Larry the Cable Guy, "gotter done"

Well NRC was is responsible for this and unless I just plain missed it. It's not there to the precautions that I finally worked out. The periheral stuff is, but the self protection stuff isn't. Self protection is the highest safety issue for the patient, and then the protection of others, and then the environment.

BTW my poor septic system must have thought . SHE'S HAVING A WIZ BANG PARTY UP THERE. 

I raised the question before this. How does this affect my septic system and the bacteria in my septic system? Everyone looked at me blankly.

sassy, you amaze me! How your mind works is unbelievable

Chevy, So happy you figured out the hip thing. Remember that ole song the leg bone connected to the thigh bone, thigh bone connected to the backbone etc. A limp can lead to back pain cuz the muscles all have to work harder to maintain balance. Which balance interferred with makes you prone to falls. YAY. Any chance you can link the article or write the web address.

That poor guy tripping on the curb. Reminds me of a two patients. Both in their eighties. One had two Great Danes. He opened the garage door to walk them, just as a small dog was going by, both hips at once. The Great Danes found new homes. The second guy sat on the control button for his lift chair. No one was around him to stop the chair from going up. He slid off the chair on to the floor, Both hips at once . OUCH

DBF and I have been together two years this week. He just got his first official haircut. I've been cutting it since we've been together. Ta da-WOW NEW MAN LOL And I can't even reward him for this milestone. Protocol ---Chit.That's another part of the radiation protocol --range 3 days to some ungodly number something months, most common 7 days.

Sassy - I haven't been on much but GEESH girl. Your mind is going to explode or solve all the world problems or both. Glad the pain is gone now keep you gosh durn hands off of it. Ya hear??!!

I'm with you on the septic system questions. But with the TP being bagged the stress on it is probably less. DH says the liq/solids are not so much the prob as the TP. And it's not like you have a family of 15 putting stress on it. I would wonder what they would think of it going in the PUBLIC system. What does chemo do to septic, that would be a good question too. When "The Blob" glowing green emerges from your septic then you'll have your answer.

Sassy - What is "WOLK" at 1 pm? Need Ziggster to interpret. ?Woke?

Nettie - When is your test - ?MRI - I forgets.

  Reminder for all of us.

FierceBluebird

Sas, hopefully you won't need anyone to deal with your septic in the next 3 months when the effluent will finally drop to safe levels. You've really thought of everything!  I saw this online:

At a 1 percent uptake, she will excrete 8.25 GBq into the septic system.
The Environmental Protection Agency says the average U.S. household
water use is about 400 gallons per day (1.51 x 10⁶ millliters
per day). Iodine-131, with a half life of eight days will lose about
8.3 percent of its activity each day. The current Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) concentration limit for unrestricted effluent
concentrations in water is 1 x 10^-6 microcuries (0.037 Bq)
per milliliter. If you take into account the daily dilution and decay
factors, it will take 87 days to get concentrations below the NRC limits
for unrestricted access.

2nd LOL The second part of the question was this goes into the common sewer system? AND?

Love the cat, too funny. Love all the pics.

See there's three types of radiation in this PILL alpha(paper stops it) beta( thicker shielding), Then the GAMMA---(lead sheilding) That's the buggar>>>>>>>new learning.

Teka WOW FUZZY and Warm is so funny. GO Teka YAY

Tang hope it gets better honey, anything we can DO? I was so wound up in toilet paper I almost missed your post.

sas-schatzi

FBB, Cool that kind of jives b/c They gave me a paper that says I'm RO till 7/25. Poor little bacteria. All they want to do is their job and now they are going to be mutants. 87 days of exposure to GAMMA RAYS. I wonder if the NRC monitors the central sewage plants for radiation? Unsuspecting workers getting zapped?

FBB the protocol on kids is OUTRAGEOUSly neglectful the range of no contact is 2- 23.  Everything in the protocols on kids varies. But pretty consistent on pregnancy and breastfeeding. BUT the controversy about what it does to the ovaries is not good. Same with Testes.

Chevy that avatar was the closest thing in my avatar file. I filled that file all on one day, and now can't figure out what I did, but someday I'll re-figure it out.

LMG just read your post with ya all the way. Regretfully, the stuff goes too a community landfill. Unless you have a better suggestion. It's double bagged? Ya know I looked at WOLK and said "ya know that doesn't look right"?, but couldn't figure out what was wrong with it LOLOLOLO

It'll make Ziiggypop laugh

sas-schatzi

LMG there has been research on sewer effluent. and rules written. Started I think when the frogs were showing up with two heads and three legs. Plus, think about all the hormones too. It's part of why cities can't dump water into areas that it re-enters the main water systems. Big controversy here near the Space Center when one community wasn't complying with the new regulations. BIG fines.

sas-schatzi

I'll let you know what happens to the grass over the septic field. ErMA Bombeck would probably be worried.

luvmygoats

Sassy - community landfill where it's buried. Sounds as safe as it could be under the circumstances. Very limited contact with sanitation workers and bet as often as they dump their loads more limited than we might think.

Yes central sewage plants near major cancer centers might be worse like those near Moffitt. Do you think FL is worse (mean worse on radiation output etc) because of the aged population? Yes, I know about sewer stuff some. Disposal of drugs by hospice nurses is a pain in the patootie. Mushed it into depends, liquified it and put in depends, poured bleach on it and disposed of it. Worst thing was a house in the country with no trash disposal and I needed to get rid of bunches of stuff (with a continuous care nurse present thank goodness). I don't know what they did usually I think burned it but can't burn trash now and we have freq. burn bans.

Makes you wonder how septics work on 1 acre lots lined up in rows. Watch those frogs. You may get some strange ones raised over the lines. Yes I remember her book - The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank (well at least the lateral lines).

You know I love my Eagle Cams. This is from this morning from Decorah IA where it has rained I think since yesterday. There are 3 babies on this nest hatched from 4/2 to 4/7.

sas-schatzi

LMG I remember the night poor DH passed. DS just loosing his Dad had to help the nurse. The nurse couldn't leave till the disposal routine was complete. You gals had it rough under those circumstances. i.e.you and just a spouse. I would have done it if DS wasn't here , but it would not have been easy. HUGS

JWoo

All right ladies- hope you have your throwback Thursday photos ready! 

This one is of my grandparents, my cousin, sister, and myself there on the right. (1976/7?) 

Notice my sister and I have matching outfits- pretty sure my mom was wearing something made of that fabric as well. Most likely purchased in the sale bin at Woolco's or TG&Y..  We match the wrapping paper as well

sas-schatzi

JWOOOOOOOO Great pic. Keep working on us for throwback Thursday. It'll get people looking for pics. May be you could write directions how to scan pics the get them on the computer ?

Just read your statement with your bio----yes true, true.....

sas-schatzi

LMG please,please, please put the link on the warm & fuzzy thread transporter link in the topic box.

sas-schatzi

Remind s me of the story the Docent told at the Space Center. He watched two eagle parents try to fledge an eaglet over three days. Each night the eaglet came back. The fourth day the eagles tore down the nest.

sas-schatzi

Nap time!

luvmygoats

DD said (a long time ago think she's forgotten) that she was going to scan in all my pictures. HaHa. But she did manage to scan in something she wanted not too long ago.

What I would love to scan in is my mother's old portraits. I can put DD's childhood negatives in safety deposit box; they are actually in protective sleeves. But those old pics of my mom/dad I can't replace. My DB has a few, different from mine. I would be afraid to unframe them as DM was an artist/antique monger who has them securely framed with paper backing. Certainly not up to paper archive standards though but who the heck is.

JWow - I love the butterfly sleeves. And you are right you and your sister blend. Park you in front of that tree and you both might go unnoticed.

OK Sassy I did. I do have it on favorites but just never read it.

camillegal

Oh Jwow I love it---u and u'r matching sister it doe look like the wrapping paper and u'r grandparents, what a treasure to have that pic. I don't know how to scan pics at all--my DD does for FB but I can't get them here??? I know Chevy knows how so I hope she reads this and grabs a pic and follows, I'm sure most of u do--I love pics whatever yr they are--it like sharing u'r life and I really like that.

OK things are turning As this World Turns I see Chevy is either understand Sas  or she's pretending to  cuz she actually had a conversation that I didn't understand, well I did about the guy breaking both hips. Holy Crap what luck that guy has.

Sas I think u amaze all of us with u'r (can't think of the word I want) but u all know what I mean. I very rarely look things up only simple things like something with blood counts and still can't really understand--it always seems like 42 people put their thoughts together and it's all crumbled up into a couple of paragraphs. Well that how I understand it anyway.

Luv don't u enjoy u'r pics.? But doesn't it seems like a lifetime ago or a different life-it just al travels so fast.

Chevyboy

I just thought this was cute!

SASS!  Good Lord girl!  I can't understand HALF of what you say, and when it is abbreviated, I am completely lost!    I know you know what you are talking about, but it is usually over my head...!  So NO Cammi, that's a resounding NO!  I don't understand so well either...Ha!    Neither would Lilshit....so we are okay.... 

Guess what?  I tried wearing my Clog Crocs, and I can walk without hardly limping at all!  I am so amazed!  My "lifts" just came in the mail, so I'll try them in my flatter shoes!  But I think the higher heel makes it so there is not as much strain on my hip!!!  I am toooooo happy!      And the lifts might help, also!  

I was wearing a pair of the clogs, when I twisted my ankle on a rock.... but I just have to watch where I am walking!  That damn Vinnie takes me on those long walks in the moon-light, and it is just hard to see where I'm GOing!    Not that he will ever check IN here, within the next month!

Now we just have to fix YOU ms Sass!    I have no idea what to Google..... either!  Your problems are over my head....  But you seem to be handling everything okay! 

JWow!  I LOVE that picture!  I just have to go upstairs, and scan some more old pictures!  I'll find one of me in my dancing costumes!  Ha, ha! 

Chevyboy

camillegal

That pic of yours so true--Is that u resting after u'r dance class?

Well thank you very much Chevy we both don't have a clue about Sas--but as long as she knows that's all that counts. And she really knows. Wow all the reading, Sas aren't u'r eyes so tired when u'r on so long.? I can only last a while then I have to stop. Chevy knows what I mean, well her eyes are older than mine. oops did I give u the wrong idea, I meant she's been around longer and by around I mean it literally--all over the place, and this hip thing didn't slow her up to much--she still had her nite haunts--when her DH is sleeping oops aain, I always slip up with this subject. Oh well I don't think I said anything everyone and I do mean everyone didn't already know.

Chevyboy

Oh Cammi!  Just put a sock in it!  Ha, ha!    Yes.... I really DO have to get my eyes checked!  I do it about every 5 years....  I hardly even have to wear reading glasses...   But I just think my eyes look cloudy from the inside sometimes.... 

Well YOU should talk, about being all over the place!  I remember you with Billy Bodandistal, and how you and him used to make out in the alley in back of the shed!   I know, I know I PROMISED I wouldn't tell.... but I just did!     And when you and my Brother would ditch school and go smoke in the bowling alley?    Okay, I won't tell any more..... this time....

Nettie1964

Crap, I'll never catch up. Been up since 3am with a nasty stomach bug. It seems to have passed, but I'm exhausted. 

camillegal

Nettie right now everything is going around, I know it's difficult but try to rest but not sleep til later if u can and drink water plenty of it.

Thanks big mouth Chevy those were a couple of my secrets, but u'r brother told me a lot about u, I mean EVERYTHING, after all we weren't just smoking regular cigarettes that's why we always ate potatoe chips together.-So I wouldn't flap that mouth of your's so easily, hehehe 

FierceBluebird

Jwoo, that was a great photo. Thanks for sharing. Brings back many of my own happy memories with homemade clothes, crocheted pillows and afghans and grandparents.

At our house my parents didn't like to spend money (or couldn't) on wrapping paper. Our presents were left under the tree by Santa unwrapped. Each kid had their own "section". One time when I was about 7 and my sister 4, I woke up first and went downstairs and took some of her presents and put them in my section. When we all came downstairs in the morning, wonder of wonders, I had the most presents. My parents started moving them back to my sisters side and I complained. How did they know which presents Santa left for who?!

I am going straight to hell.
