Just popping in before the toddler gets up....

2:22 am

Hey monkey how goes the little snot beast :)

2:23 am

sprite

at least once, lady

2:23 am

herinfernallady

good i thought it was there to drive me nuts

2:23 am

sprite

that too, of course :D

2:23 am

MonkeyGames

Well, he still had a fever in the middle of the night, but not high enough to warrant waking him up to stick a thermometer... umm, to temp him. I hope he's better today; I get a bad feeling about things that hang on and on, and he already had a day where he seemed fine and then it came back. Might have to go to the doctor tomorrow. I hope not.

2:23 am

herinfernallady

how is FUNIST not a word???

2:24 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, funist has been getting to me.

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Oh poor little man, no offence to me calling him a snot beast its a term i use for sickies

2:24 am

MonkeyGames

I took no offense--it's a perfect description of him yesterday.

2:25 am

herinfernallady

ewwww

2:25 am

sprite

how long has it been going on, Monkey?

2:26 am

herinfernallady

oh THAR is such a word

2:26 am

MonkeyGames

Well, yeah, but it's not so bad if I just keep on him with the kleenex. How long? Not so long--he started with th efever (low grade) Thursday evening and that's been coming and going. But I have school Thursday so even though a week isn't such a long time for a flu I'll get him in tomorrow anyway to have some idea of how he'd be for daycare if he's feeling up to it.

2:27 am

sprite

poor little man

2:27 am

herinfernallady

good call monkey there is nothing worse than sticking a sickie in day care, then the other beasties get it, i used to do childcare

2:28 am

MonkeyGames

I should mention he loves daycare and was upset not to go yesterday, but as long as he's acting sick I won't take him. If he gets all his energy back but still has a runny nose then he can go, but I'll want the doctoir to have told me that's OK in case they try to send him home just for that.

2:28 am

sprite

but if he is a little better and it is no longer contagious, daycare might be a nice distraction for him

2:30 am

jillibus

oh, cuddles for the little guy -- when I was sick I used to want my mum to carry me.

2:30 am

herinfernallady

true sprit i have issues with sickies and day care having been a working and having money time poor parents dumping sickies on me. at least Monkey with the DOctors Cert you are doing the right thing

2:30 am

jillibus

So now I MUST go to bed. Night all -- *poof*

2:32 am

I love your *poof*s, jilli :D

2:32 am

RX7Boricua

i think you have a babbling addiction! :P

2:32 am

MonkeyGames

Carrying: Yup, cannot put him down. If I start trying to do dishes or something, he appeears, bright orange cast on his leg looking truly miserable, and holds his little arms out to me and says, "Up, Mama!" Who on earth could resist that? Daycare: things are extremely well-regulated here and they all have colds at the moment, so they won't blink an eye if he just has a runny nose, but this coming-and-going thing might mean more than a flu (ear infections aren't contagious, though) so I'll have him to the doctor if he's not a lot better today and tomorrow. He sure is sleeping in.

2:34 am

herinfernallady

i like anyone that can be patient when i troll the supermarket for health snacky foods. I have found low fat cookies, snakata rice biscuits and choc desert all eatable and healthy. Monkey i couldnt resist that look either

2:34 am

sprite

I so remember those carrying days. My son often had those flus that upset stomachs and bowels... you don't want to know how many hours I spent with him, sitting in the bathroom, holding him and cleaning both of us all the time.

2:35 am

herinfernallady

make that sakata rice biscuits

2:35 am

MonkeyGames

Thank goodness, although I do think he has some stomach upset, nothing is coming out either end unexpectedly...

2:35 am

sprite

thank God for small favours, lol

2:36 am

MonkeyGames

Today is supposed to be the playgroup day where I and the other mothers stay and play with them. He's gonna be pretty upset to miss it.

2:36 am

sprite

yeah, being ill sucks big time. But you are there for him and that's even more important, Monkey.

2:38 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, poor little guy, he does need me right now and I'm glad I can be here. I really hope for BOTH our sakes he's better right away though--I can't afford to miss any more school! I have once-a-week full days, like 8 to 10 hour days, and this quarter I missed one due to being ill, one due to him being ill, and one when he broke the leg, so if I miss anymore we are talking serious make-up-work later! At least we're on trak with the group report now so I won't be letting the rest of my workgroup down...

2:39 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry for all the typos.

2:45 am

Neat! I really like it here. Amsterdamw as fun when I was 25 but now that I'm 38 and have a 2 1/2 year old I like it MUCH better here.

wow this is cool, too people here from the same area that didnt know each other to start with

2:46 am

oh yes! My husband is born and raised in A'dam and we lived there for a while, but when the first kid became a fact, we moved here. Much better.

2:47 am

What fun! So are you natively Dutch? We are naturalized except for our little one who was born after that and is a real native.

2:52 am

MonkeyGames

As they come, eh? Then can you tell me what's supposed to be so new about some of the things in these Maggi ads (een beetje vleesvariatie...)? I would have thought ham rolled around ground beef logs was REALLY Dutch. Is it just that it's usually bacon? By the way that kid, the one who says "cookingvith zhe shtarsh", passed me on a bike the other day, so I guess he lives in Haarlem Cute kid.

2:53 am

OK, should I let sleeping toddlers lie or go check on him? I know he's alive because he coughs now and then. He's been asleep now for 14 hours, though--a bit long even for when he's sick.

2:57 am

herinfernallady

2:58 am

I would let him sleep, as long as he is moving there is nothing wrong with sleeping.

2:59 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I should. I just get concerned, you know?

2:59 am

sprite

oh, I know, believe me. I think worrying about one's kids is inevitable.

2:59 am

P.J.

is he running a fever monkey?

2:59 am

herinfernallady

My partner reboots sometimes he goes dead for about 16plus hours then hes fine

3:00 am

bye flosey, sleep well

3:04 am

herinfernallady

how can you un? something (when you cut a bush you t? it

3:06 am

P.J.

sleeping that long is a sign of a high temp. he should have at least woke up to go to the bathroom,I would check it out.(I'm a over protective grandma at times) but i would be checking. LOL :)

3:07 am

P.J.

good night flosey

3:07 am

herinfernallady

nite flossy

3:07 am

MonkeyGames

Well, he's still in diapers, and I checked him all night. The fever hasn't been very high and he has been changing position all night. But I will go pretty soon because he should have fluids soon.

3:08 am

herinfernallady

even if you give him a bottle of kids cow juice formular he should be right

3:08 am

herinfernallady

and a bath also elps

3:09 am

herinfernallady

no i dont have kids either its just things i have picked up over time

3:11 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, he drinks regular milk, and hasn't used a bottle since he was 6 weeks old (he had to be taken to the hospital shortly after he was born, so bottles were temperarily required). But what he really wants when he gets up is juice; I mix it very weak. We'll see what he wants--if he'll eat some orange pancakes I'll know he's OK. They're orange because I sneak baby food in--carrot in these, but this time also broccolli and turkey blend. He doesn't have fluid available all night because he unscrews the caps on his no-spill cups, rather defeating the purpose, but I do take stuff in throughout the night if he's unwell. Hmmm, he's still coughing... I think I'll just call and make a dr. appointment for today and tehn go check him.

3:12 am

P.J.

I didn't know how old he is,don't give him milk if his tummy is icky .water and juice till the temp. is down,milk will curdle and come back up.

3:12 am

herinfernallady

he he he. i like the sneaky food idea

3:13 am

herinfernallady

oh der im a toss, milk bad when you are a snot beast just makes you more snotty, fish for me please

3:13 am

MonkeyGames

He's 2 1/2. I've been laying off teh milk anyway because of a chesty cough, but I do want him to have calcium for teh broken leg, thus the broccolli.

3:14 am

herinfernallady

at least you are not trying to sneak brussels round things on hem

3:15 am

MonkeyGames

OK, don't know how long you folks'll be on here,but I'm off to call the doctor and check that boy. I'll be back on at his naptime unless he wants to be independent and just watch videos or something--we allow lots of TV when he's sick.

3:15 am

MonkeyGames

I really LIKE Brussels sporouts, myself!

3:17 am

P.J.

bye monkey ,hope he feels better when he wakes up :)

3:19 am

MonkeyGames

OK, I now have a dr. appointment for him at 15:40, giving me the bulk of the day and his naptime to assess his condition. I can hear him coughing. I'm really off to get him now. Have fun, folks!

3:22 am

herinfernallady

goodluck monkey

3:22 am

herinfernallady

so happy the house is organised

3:24 am

herinfernallady

now i need another 150 odd words and id e happier

3:39 am

MonkeyGames

Temporarily back. Little Walter is up and wants to watch his kitty-cat video. He's not hungry and he doesn't want to drink, but he's a good boy so when I tell him he has to have juice he drinks it for me. It's lemon-flavored pediatric rehydration fluid right now; I decided he needed that. This still seems like a flu, but of course they can go to pneumonia at this age at the drop of a hat so I feel good about having the dr. appointment. Well, back to him (he's sitting right here, though) an dthen maybe I can see about eating something myself.

3:39 am

sprite

Well, I figured out the ur, but man, that's a WORD?

6:39 am

MonkeyGames

Looked it up. Still never heard it before.

6:40 am

elmer

wordwizard th cr means the fist two letters of the word the fist number indicates how many letters are in the word and the last number indicates how many points the word is worth.

6:41 am

LoriP

Typo-ed the ma 7's, ma = to walk in protest, plural + 1st vowel, and 2nd vowel for the other 8

6:41 am

periwinkle

found 120, bbl

6:42 am

LoriP

Some typos are handy! I knew my typing inability would come in handy someday....

6:42 am

MonkeyGames

Found another -ism!

6:42 am

LoriP

Later peri

6:43 am

herinfernallady

later perie i was busy terrifing my b/fs house mate

6:44 am

MonkeyGames

Darn it, there'd be another fish if there was another s up there!

6:45 am

herinfernallady

and then my net crashed

6:45 am

lynxxx

TY monkey - found it too with your prompt

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Monkey have you seen Lilo and Stich?

6:45 am

MonkeyGames

No... I try to avoid most modern Disney.

6:46 am

herinfernallady

oh i was about to use a line for the fish in here

6:47 am

MonkeyGames

That's not a bad pun... I have found one fish, a usual eating fish and its plural. But there's be another one that hangs out on coral and cleans other fish if there was another s in the area.

6:47 am

MonkeyGames

I mean, obviously, there'd be.

6:48 am

herinfernallady

God damn som of an itch ate my bread

6:50 am

herinfernallady

if i run away its because the nets being dodgy

6:50 am

MonkeyGames

Are these still fish puns I'm not getting? Distracted by worrying about Walter, you understand.

6:51 am

hurshy

in babble, when there is an easy word that we miss, we hit ourselves with a fish. by association, those words have become known as fishes.

6:52 am

MonkeyGames

Ah! Ok. But there really is a fish in this one.

6:52 am

hurshy

there often is...

6:52 am

lynxxx

Hi Hursh. how did you go yesterday?

6:53 am

hurshy

rte 7

6:53 am

o-o

yeah, lots of rituals and babble superstitions

6:53 am

hurshy

little joke...

6:53 am

hurshy

everything went well, thank you lynxxx, had two good interviews.

6:54 am

MonkeyGames

Not surprising. On alt.usage.english there's a lot about sheep, and badgers' dams...

6:54 am

MonkeyGames

Gotta go take the dog out before the kid wakes up. BAck in a few. Witha ny luck.

6:55 am

pinkhatlil

bye monkeygames

6:56 am

LoriP

Later Monkey

7:00 am

hurshy

in case it comes up in a later grid - eskimo doesn't count. proper i guess.

7:01 am

MonkeyGames

OK, she took care of business in short order. Her bed's in the sun so she was eager to get back to it.

7:01 am

MonkeyGames

siam also doesn't work.

7:02 am

hurshy

well that is for sure proper.

7:02 am

hurshy

i dunno why i was hoping eskimo wasn't ... just cause it would be cool to put in, i guess.

7:02 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. I was too lazy to read all the rules first--trying to unwind.

7:03 am

hurshy

unwind? through babble? clearly you're new.

7:04 am

herinfernallady

and im back

7:04 am

MonkeyGames

Let me rephrase. Got a really sick toddler with a broken leg here, getting ready for a move, etc. Wanted to distract myself while the little guy sleeps.

7:05 am

hurshy

oh, sorry to here that. things always go wrong for me around moves, too. moving from w'town to here, my grandfather died, my car caught fire...

7:05 am

hurshy

unrelated incidents.

7:05 am

herinfernallady

monkey how is snot beast and the snoring dog

7:06 am

hurshy

oh, some cool M words

7:06 am

MonkeyGames

Lat time we moved my grandmother died--while the phone company had messed us up and I couldn't talk to her.

7:06 am

hurshy

what is it about moves???

7:07 am

MonkeyGames

Snot beast not well at all, I'm really glad I made taht appointment for this afternoon, but he is still asleep (nap time). I managed to get quite a bit of the rehydration fluid down him, though. Poor little guy. Dog's good, her usual passed-out self. She's a Great Dane, they sleep a lot.

7:08 am

herinfernallady

yep they do

7:08 am

inge

isnt tisket a word? I remember the nursery rhyme real well

7:08 am

Eva

7:08 am

inge

word

7:09 am

LoriP

G'd morning Eva

7:09 am

MonkeyGames

I tried it too. Guess it's too nonsensical. I suppose that means if it ever turned up I couldn't use jabberwocky either. Sigh.

7:09 am

hurshy

i think they just made up tisket and tasket to have a rhyme for basket

7:09 am

hurshy

penalty box, inge! lol

7:09 am

inge

gee, I said a ****, off to penalty box. Is it stocked??

7:09 am

herinfernallady

oh poor kid though monkey has he had a bath and all that?

7:11 am

MonkeyGames

No bath yet--we just have a shower but it has a lip so I can fill it a bit, but he just wnated to be held and held, and it is a bit of a hassle right now to gat the water-guard onto the leg, so I thought we'd just wait until after the doctor for all that.

7:11 am

evanonut

jeez inge, did you never leave?

7:11 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry for the typos. The cast comes off a week from tomorrow, by the way, so at least regarding the broken leg the end is in sight.

7:11 am

herinfernallady

i feel for the little guy, i really do, im trying to stay healthy

7:12 am

MonkeyGames

I reccommend it.

7:12 am

inge

nutty, you ate all the stuff, didn't you?

7:13 am

hurshy

i'm trying to contract a fatal illness...

7:13 am

inge

beg you pardon, hurshy?

7:13 am

evanonut

what did i eat? monkey...poor kiddo! seems to be lots of little guys with broken legs just now.

7:14 am

evanonut

i don't recommend them hurshy, they suck.

7:14 am

hurshy

just... a silly ironic comment on herinfernallady's comment... don't mind me

7:14 am

herinfernallady

now i want banana jello

7:14 am

MonkeyGames

Walter has a buddy with a broken leg too. Fell off a bus stop bench. His cast went to the hip; luckily Walter has been allowed to keep his knee all this time!

7:14 am

7:15 am

herinfernallady

this time MOnkey?

7:15 am

herinfernallady

arsemonkeys are eating my bread NOT IMPRESSED

7:16 am

MonkeyGames

I've only used the list once so far. I already knew I didn't know a word starting hw. Lady, I meant all the time he's had this broken leg. This is his first break. Hopefully his last, but he's one active little daredevil so maybe that's too much to ask.

7:17 am

herinfernallady

oh thats good then monkey, kids useually bounce

7:17 am

hurshy

their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs

7:18 am

herinfernallady

evanonut

ignore everything that is not a health hazard until it annoys hubster more than it annoys me.

7:30 am

herinfernallady

also i have had a habit of defrosting food in the microwave (five min), dishes in sink, shower (under 5min) washing clothes, eat clean up relax

7:31 am

herinfernallady

i like your motion evan, i have a habit of utalising every room i enter as i clean up

7:31 am

herinfernallady

yes im a freak, my bedroom looks like a bombs hit, you cant see the floor ANYWERE

7:31 am

evanonut

welp, i work, he doesn't, so he ought to anyway.

7:32 am

lynxxx

my method - have someone come in each Friday to clean !

7:32 am

MonkeyGames

Ah. On non-school-no-apprenticeship-job days I get up, take the dog out, prepare a toddler breakfast, have coffee if toddler still sleeping, get the toddler when he wakes up, have coffee if have not yet, feed him, take him and teh dog to the park, come back here, feed him a healthy snack by that time, load the crappy broken dishwasher (glass and ceramics only, everything else comes out evenly coated with soap), check my e-mail, get surfaces wiped, toddler off to nap time, breakfast for me, stuff like this grid or ideally homework, get toddler back up when he wakes up, do something constructive and fun with him, dog to park again (it's across the street), packing, homework, shopping if not already done, start work on dinner, husband gets home, dinner, storytime, bedtime for toddlers, THEN if I can muster the energy, more cleaning.

7:33 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, then there's his lunch in there somewhere, sometimes I get to shower, I do manage laundry sometimes, etc.

7:33 am

7:54 am

hurshy

you mean because you don't always want the stuff? like dog food is useless if you have no dog?

8:45 am

hurshy

there are TWO pls for the knife?

8:45 am

LoriP

The second 2 are plural of what walking protesters are called, with the last letter being 1st vowel, and second vowel, respectively

8:46 am

momof3boys

8:46 am

LoriP

No hurshy, each of those 2 8's are plurals. 1 knife, 1 of the other (craft)

8:49 am

LoriP

2nd ma 7/8 combo is the popular craft in the 70's

8:50 am

LoriP

The other 2, are ma = what people do, when walking in protest, last letter is 2nd vowel change to 3rd vowel for the last ma 8

8:50 am

LoriP

I incorrectly said 1st and 2nd vowel in my previous ramblings.... Sorry!

Alleyn

8:59 am

usually you see it with bi-, i think it means divide and with bi- it is divide in two (ata, yes?)

9:01 am

Atalante

I know it as an emzyme, wonder if we're thinking the same ki6

9:01 am

hootowl

Greetings ladies. Thanks for the help! Can always depend on you.

9:02 am

MonkeyGames

OK, I'm back. For those of you following little Walter's saga, the doctor says it is just a "very heavy flu" and as long as I keep pushing fluids and making sure he gets a minimum of calories into him he'll be fine. I do hate seeing him so miserable, though.

9:03 am

Book Doctor Gwen

monkey, i concur. this is a very heavy flu. now going on 8 days for me, sorry to say!

9:04 am

hootowl

Be thankful for smart doctor. No antibiotics.

9:04 am

MonkeyGames

I had one a few weeks ago in which the strictly-in-bed time was ten days. Hang in there!

9:05 am

Book Doctor Gwen

at least my in-bed time was about 3 days. i still feel droopy though but i'm vertical

9:05 am

9:12 am

knutmeg

one huge duh for the knut, thanks lori and hoot!

9:13 am

MonkeyGames

Hootowl--tahnks. Doctors over here are much smarter about antibiotics, and I would have put my foot down anyway. They're useless with a virus.

9:13 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry for the tpyos.

9:15 am

hootowl

Try to convince the people here! Tenn, and especially Memphis, are soooo far behind that a nurse I was rooming with when I got here was usung anti-bacterial everything! She, at least, should have known better!

9:16 am

Book Doctor Gwen

there's not much you could call good science going on in the US, sorry to say. political comments withheld!

9:16 am

Atalante

whats wrong with using anti-bacterials? I understand anti-biotics, but ...

9:17 am

MonkeyGames

Sheesh. Yeah, there's a woman on my online parenting group who just posted that now that they know that her toddler's diarrhea and mild fevers and runny nose have been caused by teething and not a cold maybe they'll stop the precautionary antibiotics she's been on for weeks! Aaaaargh! (There's the source of the diarrhea anyway!)

9:17 am

hootowl

At least in NY they were putting the info out - here, it's never mentioned. Nuts, NY is never mentioned unless something really bad happens.

9:18 am

LoriP

There's tremendous wisdom to the old adage "have your peck of dirt"

9:18 am

MonkeyGames

Nothing wrong with antibacterial soaps and things in moderation, but using them ALL the time on EVERYTHING reduces exposure and thus immunity while conditioning the germs to withstand them.

9:18 am

hootowl

Where IS that poor misbegotten woman?

9:18 am

LoriP

Immune systems cannot work, if they're not allowed to.

9:18 am

Atalante

oh right, I see. yes, of course, I thought you meant all use of anti-bacterials was frowned on!

9:19 am

hootowl

I'd rather give my counters a wash with a bleach solution that an anti anything which isn't really strong enough to do anything except grow stronger germs

9:20 am

Atalante

anti-bacs are gooood things over here at the moment. better nurses wash their hands in those than not wash their hands at all

9:20 am

hootowl

In NY it frowned apon. Hospitals are having big problems with reisitant bugs

9:21 am

LoriP

That's where these resistant strains are coming from.

9:21 am

11:12 am

hurshy

11:12 am

o-o

me 7/40 --- add what is used ti stiffen the collar of a shirt, without the t

11:13 am

EvaNadine

yes, hes gotta have 2 removed...but we arent sure if theyre taking out both today...

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

can anyone advise if there is controversy over the amount of words/points?

11:13 am

Haz1558

But they keep changing the names of countries - you're on the road to madness if you try to do that.

11:13 am

hurshy

there are 304 words and 4442 points.

11:13 am

LoriP

Ihave 304 words, with a pt total of 4442

11:13 am

hurshy

i dunno if there is a controversy, but i am done and that is the correct total.

11:13 am

inge

a qeustion to you small animal experts: our hamsters cage is covered with a sticky mess, yellow droplets on the cloth underneath. Is he trying to tell me something???

11:13 am

o-o

doesn't make a bunch of sense exert if it does not make a difference

11:14 am

doxy1lover

any clues for ac7?

11:14 am

hurshy

LOL inge

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

ty

11:14 am

Haz1558

ac plus a dried grape, minus a vowel

11:14 am

hurshy

how quickly did this develop?

11:14 am

Haz1558

For ac7 that is.

11:15 am

LoriP

ac + dried grapes are **i***s

11:15 am

doxy1lover

thanks for the ac clues, got it

11:15 am

hurshy

oh brabble, we don't listen to bon jovi for the rationality...

11:15 am

inge

hursh, you asking me that? Happened in about 2 days

11:16 am

hurshy

what kind of cage? is it the inside or outside that is covered?

11:17 am

LoriP

Well, I'm officially hungry. Off I go, to eat something totally unhealthy, and preferably loaded with cholesterol.

11:17 am

hurshy

like, my dad made cages of chicken wire for my hamsters, so it was mostly airy and open

11:17 am

LoriP

Thanks all for your help, and have a great day!

11:17 am

inge

a wire cage feels sticky to the touch. Have not checked inside yet. Sort of like someone covred it with sugar water or soemthing

11:17 am

caitlyn

Bye Lori

11:17 am

Haz1558

Bye Lori - see you again.

11:17 am

Iain

go for it lorip

11:17 am

hurshy

maybe it isn't the hamster at all, is it near anything that could leave a sappy residue?

11:18 am

inge

no kids in the house who might have done something

11:18 am

hurshy

plants?

11:18 am

inge

will check the plants around it. OUr house is stuffed with plants right now.

11:18 am

inge

will report back later, since I still need 30 words, which is more important

11:19 am

hurshy

i'd bet on a plant, if the ENTIRE cage is covered on the outside, i don't see how a hamster could do that.

11:19 am

hurshy

if the hamster did do it, i'd say you are soon to have a dead hamster, cause that can't be good.

11:20 am

Atalante

unless the hamster has been eating ice cream messily

11:20 am

hurshy

lol

11:20 am

hurshy

even then, it would probly kill the hamster...

11:20 am

Atalante

not if he dropped 99% of the ice cream on the cage LOL

11:20 am

caitlyn

LOL Ata

11:21 am

hurshy

hahahaha

11:21 am

doxy1lover

clue for at7?

11:21 am

hurshy

a + to foil a plan

11:21 am

doxy1lover

I have a mental picture of a tiny hamster holding an ice cream cone bigger than he is.

11:22 am

Haz1558

at7 - if you have the th6/33 which wrecks plans, put a in front

11:22 am

Haz1558
