12:57 am

Jacula

Tell you what, I was maoning about the Boggle game earlier, how teams get 118 words in 3 mins and mere fat typing mortals like me get about 39... one feature on there is 'words you got that no one else did'. More often than not it's me named in there with what we call a Babblet ( a weird word regular Babblers know straight off.)

12:58 am

jillibus

I'm beginning to remember some of the weird words which repeat

12:58 am

jillibus

dens

12:58 am

5:32 am

ARB

Button, do you have de r/16? This is the past tense.

5:32 am

jaianniah

de7 rymes with "reigned" and is spelled like it except for the first letter

5:33 am

Buttonman

Jaianniah, thanks, I just had a mental block on that one.

6:52 am

hurshy

jeepers, i'm having a bad d-day (not the normandy kind)

6:52 am

evanonut

twisted hursh - funny, but twisted

6:53 am

hurshy

just call me a cruller

6:54 am

evanonut

a donut?

6:55 am

hurshy

yeah, but not just any donut...a cruller.

6:55 am

hurshy

yeah, but not just any donut...a cruller.

6:55 am

hurshy

cause they're twisted.

6:55 am

evanonut

there's my eyes rolling...can you see them?

6:56 am

hurshy

oh yes...look at them there on the floor - can i play marbles with them?

6:56 am

evanonut

no...makes it blurry when i put them back in.

6:57 am

hurshy

hmph, some friend you are. ah well, they don't roll smoothly anyway cause eyes aren't perfect spheres.

6:58 am

evanonut

and mushy, don't forget mushy. not much clinking going on when you shoot em.

6:58 am

hurshy

true - a significant drawback.

6:59 am

hurshy

my d's have improved. now it's my g's that are irking me.

6:59 am

evanonut

geeeeee - i'd help, but i haven't started the grid.

7:00 am

hurshy

lol, well what are you waiting for nut?

7:00 am

evanonut

dog is crimping my style, gotta finish my work up and get him to the vet. he's in pain.

7:01 am

hurshy

oh poor doggy! what's wrong?

7:02 am

evanonut

can hardly walk, won't stand up for me, favorin a rear leg strongly, and i'm starting to think maybe dysplasia because a pull would be getting better by now i think.

7:03 am

hurshy

oh, poor thing, i'm so sorry. i hope the vet can help. i hope he feels better soon.

7:03 am

evanonut

if nothing else, i'm sure i'll be returning with some pain pills.

7:03 am

hurshy

it's so hard when your pets are suffering, you just want to protect them from everything and you can't :(

7:04 am

evanonut

honestly, had to drag him outside to go potty. food and water are delivery only. and he's not the kind to act a baby.

7:05 am

hurshy

:(

7:05 am

hurshy

:(

7:06 am

evanonut

if it is dysplasia, i can only afford pain medication unfortunately, but i shouldn't be jumping, could just be a really bad sprain.

7:06 am

hurshy

what is the best thing to do for dysplasia?

7:06 am

evanonut

hip replacement in the cases where severe damage has already been done.

7:07 am

hurshy

how old is your dog? doesn't dysplasia usually show up early in life?

7:07 am

hurshy

how old is your dog? doesn't dysplasia usually show up early in life?

7:08 am

evanonut

he's four. it does start early, but some dogs show now signs because the pain is normal for them. then they are highly active (like my boy) and do lots of damage, and then they get it real bad later. still, this is only speculation. i didn't think it likely before because he's mixed.

7:09 am

hurshy

well i hope it is just a bad sprain after all! how much is hip replacement? thousands i suppose...tens of thousands?

7:09 am

hurshy

well i hope it is just a bad sprain after all! how much is hip replacement? thousands i suppose...tens of thousands?

7:10 am

MAITAI

hey katusha

7:10 am

evanonut

i imagine thousands, not the kind of money ihave put away anyway. heck - i can hardly make my bills.

7:11 am

hurshy

well we'll all hope it's just a sprain

7:12 am

evanonut

i do hope, got him an appt for 2:20.

7:14 am

hurshy

all fingers and toes duly crossed, and i'll pray if that doesn't offend your sensibilities.

7:16 am

miss tea

evan, it might be a cruciate tear if it is only one leg. thta's about $1000 to fix but a lot of vets will let you pay over time. good luck!

7:20 am

Krista

My father is being treated for the 2nd time, my daughter is on meds now (caught early), but my mother waited to long and has bad effects from it.

7:20 am

evanonut

oh dear, lyme disease is prominent here, two neighbors have it.

7:21 am

evanonut

he's great with shots, too busy googling at the vet to notice the pinch.

7:21 am

Krista

Yes, Hurshy, I could tell him it's a pirate thing. ;) Her dog was limping, too. They never suspected Lyme, but they had to carry him around just like you mentioned!

7:21 am

Leighanne

hey krista. what kind of effects has your mom had. they think my mother may have it, has been sick for going on 25 years

7:21 am

BGL

Good morning, Babblers! I have just a few minutes before work and thought I'd see what I can do...

7:22 am

D'OH
ummm. forget my last comment. It's early....

7:22 am

Krista

Mom's waited a few weeks to go to the dr, so hers aren't as severe as my uncle's, a park ranger for years, so I'll decribe his..basically severe heart and joint problems

7:24 am

Krista

The symtoms of long-term damage can really be varied.

7:24 am

sprite

No Ks... it is a beautiful day :) Afternoon all.

7:24 am

EvaNadine

phantom words for today -- attend/attends/attended

7:24 am

Leighanne

the information states that if you wait too long then the test will know longer read positive. my mom has been sick since i was 15 (i'm 35 this week), severe weakness, chronic pain, immune system shot to the bad place and now parkinsens (sp?) symptoms. it's very sad, she's only 60

7:27 am

sprite

Now I remember, you were to leave on thursday. Hope you have a pleasant and fast trip. How are things?

7:28 am

Leighanne

thanks for your story krista, always hoping to find an answer somewhere. would like to have my mom. she was really sick last year, septic 3 different times, and after weeks on iv antibiotics almost complete recovered, no symptoms for almost 30 days. this happened 2 different times so they are pressing for long term iv antibiotics. seeing doctors at john's hopkins!

7:29 am

hurshy

i have got 10 left. taking good size breaks sure is better than just staring at the grid for ages. things are good, spritey. not looking forward to the fact that we must leave the hotel at 3:45 am, but looking forward to getting home to my cats.

7:30 am

Leighanne

my parents are in Delaware, I grew up there. My husband grew up in Dundalk, ever heard of it?

7:30 am

hurshy

i enjoyed our lunch as well :) it's not the site, it's this internet on tv, this keyboard often thinks i hit enter twice when i only hit it once.

7:30 am

EvaNadine

i know where dundalk is -- i live in MD myself. :)

7:30 am

Krista

Sure, I do.

7:31 am

Aloyisius

Hi Krista - so good of you to share the info on Lyme disease - so sorry it has affected your family
