bacteriophage are viruses that specifically use bacteria to reproduce. In the process, they destroy the bacteria. VERY useful critters!

bacteriophage is a sort of virussy thing which attacks and kills other bacteria and virussy things

our family has been involved as sideline or directly in minor ways with phage study since before our elder kid was born.

the thing is, I don't understand why it has taken so long to capitalise on the knowledge about bacteriophage which I was taught about over 60 years ago and which is only now becoming a matter of interest

12:07 am

12:39 am

12:39 am

not sure about prozac, speedfreak. Some combinations of antidep and painkillers can cause serotonin syndrome, because they both influence the serotonine level in the brain.

8:09 am

lynxxx

I wasn't being nasty to Goldies when I suggested he go for the smaller words first ... he is only 10 ... and with some 200 4/5 letters words to find he will get a lot more satisfaction rather than attempting to understand more 'adult' clues

8:09 am

NonoNanette

i like Amo's crossword dictionary myself

8:09 am

herinfernallady

I am going to general coment - over the course of the week i have been told not to clutter the chat with inane chatter and i have also been told not to ask so many clues in the past.

8:10 am

pinkhatlil

8:10 am

herinfernallady

God no lynxx that wasnt at you. I started by getting the little words then the irritating big ones

8:10 am

carleekat

WHAT?... i have never seen that...

8:10 am

pablo blanco

someone gave me a hard time about asking for clues 2 days ago. I say if you don't want to clue, just don't. But I thank the great people that do because they help me a great deal when I get towards the end of the grid.

8:11 am

Atalante

I think everyone should just bear in mind that they shouldn't flood the chat / annoy others. Just all be nice!

8:11 am

Ogdens Nut

How interesting that you use the word irritating herein

8:11 am

toadandtoadette

if people don't want the clues, they can turn the chat box off so they don't see them

8:11 am

herinfernallady

I just thought that the chatter box was exactly that, general chat and welcomes but lately its just been bitch bitch bitch. NO I am not pointing fingers and stuff

8:12 am

carleekat

well..on that happy note...gone to get ready for my day... bills to pay ( yack) and will apply for that full time job I mentioned earlier even though I have a very sick feelign about doing so

8:12 am

EvaNadine

i have no problem with people asking for clues.

i have a problem with people asking for numerous clues for every single word...after a while, you just have to try to play the game with the resources given, or else realize that maybe the game is too hard for you.

8:15 am

pablo blanco

if we are complaining about a 10 year old asking us for help, there is something wrong with us. We shoul be encouraging him to keep with it. Lynxxx was doing just that by suggesting that he keep looking for the smaller words and then he can build from those. I say Goldies, if you need help ask us. There are much worse things that a 10 year old could be doing.

8:15 am

Goldies how is the puppy

10:52 am

Scarlet

Where is he being sent, mc? Afghanistan or Iraq?

10:52 am

mcurlschool

Afghanistan

10:53 am

Tough being a parent, isn't it? It's harder on the moms and dads, than those who are going overseas...

10:53 am

Scarlet

Which branch of the services is he?

10:54 am

mcurlschool

Air Force; Aerial Gunner on the plane in my icon. he's my baby; and it's his first time over so I think he's pretty apprehensive

10:55 am

stidmama

hi again sprite -- and all!

10:55 am

Scarlet

The Air Force training is par excellence, mc... it would not be human to not be apprehensive... How are you doing with that situation, though?

10:55 am

Judi

Fly high and carry a big gun. That's a good way to stay safe in Afghanistan, I'd say!

10:56 am

So, my review of FF2:

Action scenes: bloody excellent

CGI: Pretty good

Overall a pretty good movie, although I had one gripe with it........*SPOILER ALERT*.........they had Galactus get destroyed.......and he's supposed to be this indestructable entity, the most powerful force in the universe.......oh well.......

11:07 am

Scarlet

Food. Noon. Hmmmm... beloved must be hungry by now... pinkhat, I am going to slough through the last 153 when I return from lunch, but hang in there for the whammies... LOL, and thank you!

well...my opinion ( for whatever is worth ) is if u don't feel like clueing..don't bother... and I also notice that the "personality" of the chat definitely changes throughout the day...so... i try to stay within the bounds of the mood

thanks haz

12:14 pm

Jacula

It's not a case of whether people feel like clueing, more that those who are looking for clues, especially any poor souls still on dial-up, have a nightmare of a time scrolling through the log to find them.

12:14 pm

Aloyisius

It has to do with being patient at the right heat for nearly 50 minutes, kat... maybe the oven is "off" on correct readings? Nah, that can't be... not when someone cooks and bakes as much as you do.

Or, Ata, you can beat heavy cream with a touch of real vanilla and a whisper of sugar... beat to the consistency of "just before it turns to butter" and pipe it into your puffs, refrigerate, and decorate with melted chocolate (nuke in mircowave in a heavy-duty zip-lok bag, snip end, and then drizzle. over puffs).

EvaNadine

AS10 = fall flower + vowel + consumer + consonant

2:23 pm

carleekat

ok..am off for a while... 107 to get later...enjoy

2:23 pm

monagoldstein

what does AS10 mean?

2:23 pm

Scarlet

Later, kat. Flask, it's tougher than most longer ones, that's for certain!!

2:23 pm

EvaNadine

we explained that earlier -- word starting with AS, 10 letters long

2:24 pm

monagoldstein

fine fine

2:24 pm

monagoldstein

and consumer?

2:24 pm

EvaNadine

sorry, that should say "consumed"

2:25 pm

Haz1558

as10 - begin with the starlike flower, tack on the Spanish river (using the last letter of the flower to begin the word, then a shortened form of Edward, the one that begins the child's toy.

2:25 pm

SamanthaJoy

mona, you started on a particularly inauspicious day--this is a large grid, and we're all pulling our hair out. Often we're more informative and friendly, I promise!

2:25 pm

monagoldstein

ok ok

2:25 pm

monagoldstein

got the word

2:25 pm

monagoldstein

but let me tell you, those clues were none like i've seen before

2:25 pm

xamot

asterioted

2:26 pm

flosey

not an easy word to clue mona

2:26 pm

SamanthaJoy

We like to think of ourselves as "creative." Many just find us "confusing."

2:26 pm

Haz1558

Feminine Spanish river.

2:26 pm

xamot

sorry

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

close xamot, but please be careful not to type grid words into the chatlog

2:26 pm

magzel

li 5/12, the first one please

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

you get used to our clue-ing after a while :)

2:26 pm

Scarlet

mona, if you want the meaning of that word, click on the question mark in the "My Word List" and you will get one... it made things easier for me in the beginning, once I found them!

2:27 pm

Scarlet

Hello Haz! How is the garden?

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet - glad to say the plants are growing well and flowers are blooming.

2:28 pm

Scarlet

Is your daughter delighted with "her" flowers?

2:29 pm

Haz1558

She would be if she were here. She's working in Edinburgh over the summer, selling audio guides to tourists at the castle.

2:29 pm

Scarlet

What an experience, Haz. Does she like it?

2:30 pm

Haz1558

I'll have to take some photos and e-mail them to her. She's enjoying the job and has even plucked up the courage to use some of her French.

2:30 pm

Flask1

a clue for mo8 please?

2:31 pm

flosey

Fireworks, and I don't want to know how many hours this took

2:31 pm

Flask1

well done Flosey!

2:31 pm

Haz1558

mo, then run together how Manuel said 'What?' in Spanish and the ending of cigar to indicate another form of tobacco smoking.

2:31 pm

Scarlet

I can only hope that this summer will be recalled as a positive step in her maturity, Haz. My daughter would love to do that type of activity for a short time... Congratulations, Flosey!!

2:31 pm

SamanthaJoy

I wonder how many years I will play this game before I finally remember that "cato" is not a word?

2:31 pm

Flask1

mo8 please??

2:32 pm

flosey

mo8 uses the the double tile

2:32 pm

ursh

hello all and yay flosey wtg - flask mo uses the 5pt tile

2:32 pm

stidmama

yay flose!y

2:32 pm

flosey

hi ursh and stid

2:32 pm

Scarlet

The MO word rhymes with a French word for "flirt" , Flask

2:32 pm

Haz1558

It's a case of needing to earn some money, Scarlet and there seem to be more opportunities in the big city than at home.

2:32 pm

flosey

it's past noon and I have not eaten breakfast yet!! - guess it's brunch time

2:33 pm

stidmama

better get some food flosey, before you waste away! LOL (no problem of that for me, though...)

2:33 pm

ursh

looked up mo8 - type of fabric used in upholstery

2:33 pm

flosey

not much chance of wasting away stid but could pass out

2:34 pm

Scarlet

But to be able to say, "Yes, I worked in a castle for one summer".... money is always a concern for the young ones, Haz. In this area, many post-high schoolers cannot even find a Wal-Mart job...

2:34 pm

Flask1

Haz, sorry I missed your clue, but thanks to you and flosey and Scarlet...and ursh!!...lol

2:34 pm

flosey

I'll pop in and out to see if any clues needed

2:34 pm

Scarlet

Yahoo for Flask!!

2:35 pm

stidmama

are you done flask?

2:35 pm

Scarlet

Please eat, flosey!! See you soon.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

I know, it's a pretty spectacular setting for a job, isn't it? She has to pass by the sentries every day and prove that she's worthy to be in the castle before it opens properly for tourists.

2:36 pm

Scarlet

I cannot even imagine the majesty of the architecture... let us hope that she does not become immune to its history and beauty.

2:36 pm

Haz1558

I hope not. We're more blase than we should be about our old buildings.

2:36 pm

jbp

i have serious browser issues

2:38 pm

Scarlet

That is probably true all over the planet, Haz. I saw on the morning news today: a group of drunken people inside the Stonehenge monument... drinking in the Summer Soltice... is that not pathetic?

2:38 pm

Scarlet

*Solstice*

2:38 pm

stidmama

it's a wonderful thing, Haz -- though hardly as old as any of your castles back there, I worked for two years just out of college in our state capitol building. I never got tired of looking at the pretty architecture, or the furnishings in the office.

2:39 pm

Atalante

stid! yay! what's your favourite colour / combination of colours?

2:39 pm

stidmama

I am celebrating the Solstice today by having my kids be at school all day... the last one until September, and enjoying the light rain shower we had earlier. Now everything smells so good!

2:40 pm

Haz1558

Yes it is, Scarlet. My own experience is that I lived about three miles away from a 12th century Norman castle, but because it was so familiar it didn't quite make the impact on me that it should. I now realise that it's VERY special.

2:41 pm

jbp

yes, happy midsummer all

2:41 pm

stidmama

ARGH. dumb mouse. erased my answer, atalante!

2:42 pm

Scarlet

I had asked residents of the Niagara Falls area if they ever tired of the spectacular beauty of nature... they said they were accustomed to it... the same with folks in St. Augustine, Florida... historical buildings, churches, culture... how very sad. Do you ever go back to the Norman castle now, Haz... to refresh your memories?

2:42 pm

stidmama

I was saying I like most colors. My bedroom as a child was pink (everything pink); I wear a lot of green because it is flattering to my eyes and hair, and brown because it's practical and comfortable to wear. But I go through spurts when I wear a lot of sunny yellow like the grid tiles and red; and I have some nice things in blue too... LOL

2:43 pm

Atalante

so anything then :P I'm finally getting round to doing my babble cards!

2:43 pm

Haz1558

Yes, we took our children and I enjoyed the opportunity to see inside. You have to let your imagination fill in the stories that place has seen.

2:43 pm

riemann

G'afternoon, Stid!

2:43 pm

stidmama

well Haz -- I live amidst a lot of still-green, barely touched by humans, landscapes. Perhaps if I had never been elsewhere I would think it boring and normal... and on a day to day basis like is more important... but I have been lots of other places, and this is just about the nicest.

2:44 pm

Scarlet

I'm laughing now, Haz, because that is what I do... listen to the "ghosts of history" and let my mind do the rest.

2:44 pm

stidmama

hi perfesser! how's by you?

2:44 pm

riemann

Things are starting to happen here. Had a phone interview with a school in GA today.

2:45 pm

stidmama

meant to say "life is more important on a day to day basis..." -- perhaps I ought to find my lunch!

2:45 pm

Haz1558

But that's the great thing about our world - you can have cities and you can have countryside and appreciate both for their beauty.

2:45 pm

stidmama

Georgia? are you outta your mind???? LOL too far away, to muggy in the summer, too many bugs. But they do have nice pecans...

2:46 pm

stidmama

actually happy that you had the interview, but you're getting all these things further away from us, not closer! *folds arms across chest disapprovingly*

2:46 pm

riemann

Stid, you've known me a LONG time. If you're just now realizing I'm out of my mind, we BOTH have problems....

2:46 pm

monagoldstein

what about the 9 letter word?

2:47 pm

stidmama

you heard him, folks! (I got witnesses now) rofl...

2:47 pm

riemann

actually, GA is just as close as CO and SD -- too far to drive, but within airfare.

2:47 pm

Scarlet

Fortunately, we live in partially-secluded glen... still considered within city limits, but surrounded by forestation, white-tail deer, wild turkeys... and so many other fauna, as well as beautiful birds... and now, the gardens... it's a touch of harmony in a world of more, more, more.

2:48 pm

Haz1558

de9/66 took the wind out of my sails - or past tense of undoing the action carried out when spiking a lawn to introduce air.

2:48 pm

stidmama

true enough, and closer to some of the really cool places on the east coast. I think you would like it well enough there, and you'd have air conditioning which would make things tolerable.

2:48 pm

stidmama

*kissing Haz's feet* thank you, dear lady!

2:49 pm

riemann

Yup. The price of my moving to anywhere in the South is that my salary covers 24/7 AC.

2:49 pm

Haz1558

You are very welcome.

2:49 pm

Scarlet

Unexpected visitors! See you later!

2:49 pm

Haz1558

Bye Scarlet - enjoy the visitors.

2:49 pm

stidmama

LOL -- better make that up to and including NY and Penn... they swelter in August.

2:49 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Haz!

2:49 pm

stidmama

later scarlet!

2:50 pm

stidmama

does the AQ 7 build off the 5?

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Yes, it's a latin plural.

2:51 pm

Atalante

same first 4 letters

2:51 pm

Haz1558

ALthough, it really builds off the aq4.

2:51 pm

stidmama

okay, *thinking*

2:52 pm

stidmama

got it!

2:52 pm

stidmama

got them both!

2:53 pm

Haz1558

Well done!

2:54 pm

KnightTime

hello all - i have 45 minutes to find 123

2:54 pm

Haz1558

Hello Knight - good luck!

2:54 pm

stidmama

hi knight! I am here for five more, then going to take a nap before I head into town.

2:55 pm

Haz1558

Although, if it's the first 123 it's not so bad.

2:55 pm

KnightTime

the last 123

2:56 pm

Haz1558

In which case I say again, good luck!

2:58 pm

stidmama

I am having to type in words that I KNOW I typed last night!!!!!

2:59 pm

riemann

But can you spell them right at least once, Stid?

2:59 pm

ursh

oh yay fireworks here - tx for great clues - loooong grid this one

2:59 pm

Haz1558

That's annoying when it happens, I know.

2:59 pm

stidmama

YAY ursh!!!!

2:59 pm

Haz1558

Well done ursh.

2:59 pm

stidmama

Babblers - poll time, need help. I signed up through a meet-people (not dating, just social) website for a dinner thing tonight. Two other women and two men of unknown ages are slated to attend, they may or may not be remotely interesting. If I go, I will have trouble getting things done that need getting done, and I really shouldn't be spending the money on dinner or the gas to get there. If i don't go, I'll be ostracized on the website - which has, like, nothing going on anyway. But I might miss meeting a few interesting people tonight. So, vote please, should I go or not?

4:43 pm

Mom

oh, that sounds great. What will you be doing?

4:43 pm

4:46 pm

hurshy

4:47 pm

Gemster

moats

4:47 pm

kittychan

I really thought that 'dias' was a word. Am I on crack?

4:47 pm

Jadeomoan

Oi! Hurshy. D & B can be a fun kind of place. But you should really gauge whether or not you'll be happy with your decision to go. Don't have any preconceived notions about it.

4:47 pm

Gemster

OOOPS!!!!! Didn't know my cursur was here!!!!!!

4:47 pm

hurshy

they count "rias" but not "dias"

4:47 pm

jbp

but you may meet some other folks thru these folks

4:47 pm

Gemster

Dias is a word, it's what the throne sits on

4:47 pm

jbp

what's the worst that could happen? you'll be bored, but you should still go

4:47 pm

hurshy

but i can't decide, that's why i was asking you guys, haha

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's dais

4:47 pm

jbp

4:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi gem

4:48 pm

carleekat

4:48 pm

kittychan

Ahhhh.... I am on crack. Thanks!

4:48 pm

Mom

closer*

4:48 pm

Gemster

Oh, jbp, I think you're right

4:48 pm

jbp

welcome Gemster

4:48 pm

klaurel

Hurshy, how guilty are you going to feel about spending the money? And how much of a gouge is it going to put in your pocketbook?

4:48 pm

carleekat

so i say..if u feel like having a tub with a good book...or..whatever...fine

4:48 pm

hurshy

the worst that could happen is that i don't get my house cleaned up before my ex shows up tomorrow, i'm tired all day at work tomorrow, i don't get to go on my pleasant walk with goldie, my cats are lonely, my gridding is rushed...

4:48 pm

kristinc

my cat also says DO IT hurshy! he will donate cat food to the cause

4:48 pm

Jadeomoan

I like that idea carlee

4:49 pm

Karys

and the best ?

4:49 pm

hurshy

oh i forgot to mention the people could be dull and i would have trouble getting out quickly since there's only 5 of us

4:49 pm

jbp

you could always arrive late, and say you came from another dinner or something. if it's lame, then you can bail. but you could at least have a pop or coffee or dessert with them>

4:49 pm

Jadeomoan

stop, breathe, hursh, hun....relax. It looks like the idea of going on a social call like this is adding a ton of stress. Stress you don't need.

4:49 pm

klaurel

screw the Ex (not that way), Starbucks will perk you right up at work, babble won't keep you warm at night, and well, the pets can handle themselves

4:50 pm

jbp

if they're dull, then at least you've weeded them out

4:50 pm

hurshy

the best that could happen would be that a really hot young fella who's interesting and funny...

4:50 pm

carleekat

i am currently alone in my house..and will be for a whole 3 hours..and am RELISHING The thought of nothingness

4:50 pm

Karys

well there you go then !!!!!

4:50 pm

kristinc

have a friend call your cell if it gets to a certain time (use it as an excuse to bail if needed or ignore it!)

4:50 pm

hurshy

happens to be there

4:50 pm

jbp

that's a great idea Kristinc

4:50 pm

kristinc

c words suck

4:50 pm

carleekat

that always a good idea...

4:50 pm

Gemster

are proper names allowed?

4:50 pm

hurshy

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

Gemster

Hmmm, OK. I used the Chocolate Factory author's name, must also have another meaning

4:51 pm

jbp

and it was at times, a godsend

4:51 pm

5:04 pm

hurshy

what do you expect with shatner directing?

5:04 pm

kristinc

go knight go!

5:04 pm

Karys

wow.. Knight, don't think I shall get there tonight

5:04 pm

Gemster

Oh, I figure it will take time to get the hang of it

5:05 pm

hurshy

do i have to have cash to go, or can i use my credit card? if you're meeting up with people you've never met, you'd get separate checks, right? cause i never use cash...

5:05 pm

Jadeomoan

You can take your credit card, hursh

5:06 pm

Karys

you do what you always do Hurshy....you are you !

5:06 pm

KnightTime

any clues for the te4.4 after the te6 meaning kidded

5:06 pm

hurshy

i just don't want to end up in an awkward situation. i'm awkward enough as it is.

5:06 pm

brid

ask the wait-person for separate checks in the beginning. and then it's easy

5:06 pm

klaurel

I don't know what the D&B policy is on separate checks

5:06 pm

KnightTime

i know its a fish but just cannot find it

5:06 pm

kristinc

credit is fine...it is easy to spilt checks now

5:06 pm

klaurel

but you can definitely use credit cards

5:07 pm

hurshy

but what if the other people thing that me asking for a separate check is rude or anti-social?

5:07 pm

hurshy

*think

5:07 pm

klaurel

tell them that you only have credit cards and that you need to have a separate check

5:07 pm

Karys

Knight...is the golf term ?

5:07 pm

klaurel

or that they can pay you for the meal

5:07 pm

cybernan

hi everyone -- back for the last 175

5:07 pm

kristinc

no, just means you think ahead :) it's not rude to me

5:07 pm

Atalante

then are they the type of people you want to get to know?

5:07 pm

KnightTime

i have that one karys

5:08 pm

hurshy

i have NO idea ata, that is the biggest problem

5:08 pm

KnightTime

and the plural it is the te4.4 before the gold terms

5:08 pm

kristinc

hi ho nan...116 very slow words here

5:08 pm

hurshy

if i go and they are boring i'll be kicking myself for the waste of money

5:09 pm

hurshy

if i don't go, i won't kick myself. risk vs reward, you know.

5:09 pm

Atalante

but if they whine about splitting checks, I'm sure they would not be. so say you want to split it, if they object and be a pain, split it anyway and get outta there! :P

5:09 pm

hurshy

i am being ridiculous, taking up chat with my nonsense. please forgive.

5:09 pm

kristinc

I can always find a way to enjoy food that I didn't have to cook though hurshy! :)

5:09 pm

brid

flip a coin? then you can blame the coin....

5:10 pm

klaurel

if you think you would be more likely to kick yourself if you go than if you don't, then don't go

5:10 pm

hurshy

now where did i put those coins i had the other day...

5:10 pm

Karys

Hurshy .... what have you to lose ?

5:10 pm

brid

heehee

5:10 pm

KnightTime

got it - a real fish

5:10 pm

Atalante

how much will it be?

5:11 pm

kristinc

no way knight...how funny

5:11 pm

Karys

sorry Knight...couldn't be more help

5:11 pm

klaurel

The trip to D&B? Well, D&B's meals go around $10-20 pp

5:11 pm

KnightTime

part of the anatomy - a baby nurses from it

5:11 pm

KnightTime

aaaaaaa

5:11 pm

klaurel

and their games are outrageously high

5:11 pm

hurshy

an hour's worth of gas - that's - um - let's see - prolly 5 bucks - and dinner - i dunno - 25? you brits will think it's cheap, everything is so expensive over there

5:11 pm

klaurel

I would say $40 if you are conservative for a trip, not including gas

5:12 pm

Atalante

how many hours work is $25?

5:12 pm

Atalante

or $40

5:12 pm

hurshy

oh great, now i have to divide my salary...

5:12 pm

klaurel

oh, and that is like no alcohol

5:12 pm

Karys

Hursh....if it's not too over your budget, then jut go for it !

5:12 pm

hurshy

no prob, i don't drink

5:12 pm

Atalante

its a good way to look at the real price of things though!

5:12 pm

hurshy

but do you need cash for the games?

5:13 pm

klaurel

hurshy, you buy cards and the games are like 2.1 credits and up

5:13 pm

hurshy

ah, i see

5:13 pm

klaurel

so, count around $20 for a card and you can credit card it, but you have to pay $2 for the card, but they give you extra points

5:13 pm

Karys

do you know, at this time of night, this is way more fun than the grid !!!

5:14 pm

brid

good luck with the decision hurshy. (thunderstorms are chasing me away).

5:14 pm

hurshy

this chat, or my possible trip?

5:14 pm

Karys

both Hursh !!!

5:14 pm

klaurel

hushy, I have one question for you: Are you more likely to feel guilty about going than not?

5:15 pm

hurshy

well, as far as it being in my budget, it's just plain not. i have NO money for fun right now, my salary is just enough for necessities. i'll have to dip into my savings to go. lol

5:15 pm

kristinc

by the way, never even heard of this place...must not be a west coast thing

5:15 pm

klaurel

we have one in the mid-west too

5:15 pm

hurshy

well if i GO i won't feel guilty because it will be done and there would be no point. but i might REGRET it, if the people are dull.

5:15 pm

5:15 pm

Mom

Karys

5:20 pm

Karys

5:20 pm

Bloodaxe

well, hopefully the stuff you spent hours studying.

5:20 pm

klaurel

Ah, Inge, but 10 years from now you are more lilkely to be benefiting from the hours of studying!

5:20 pm

Mom

Hurshy, if you decide to stay home, we will all call up the menu on line and order from it and have a nice dinner with you.

5:20 pm

Karys

5:28 pm

Mom

bye bye Inge2

5:28 pm

kristinc

de+ plus an ae6 word meaning to inflate...also in the grid

5:28 pm

I didn't know that was made from cactus. Learn something every day

5:28 pm

Inge2

5:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thank you Kristin, off to find the ae word

5:31 pm

KnightTime

easily the toughest grid this month

5:31 pm

Gemster

Do you ever use Google Suggest? Would it help with this game?

5:32 pm

Mom

I have never used it Gemster. If you go to the bottom of the grid, there are all kinds of help links available. Lickety and Angelsong are very good

5:32 pm

Mom

it is definitely a challenge today, Knight

5:32 pm

Gemster

Oh, great! I hadn't scrolled all the way down, lol

5:32 pm

Mom

and Congratulations

5:32 pm

Gemster

This IS a very addicting game!

5:32 pm

Mom

yes, it is indeed

5:33 pm

Mom

Gemster, is this your first time?

5:33 pm

Gemster

I had signed up a year ago or so from somebody's blog, but hadn't been back. Bookmarked now!

5:33 pm

Mom

Welcome!

5:33 pm

Karys

it is Gemster...ought to come with a Health warning

5:34 pm

EspritdJean

anyone have a clue for the 9?

5:36 pm

Gemster

OK, stupid newby question. Please don't throw tomatoes. the numbers after the beginning letters (ac5,12), are those the letters and points as in the word list?

5:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

gem, yup!!

5:36 pm

EspritdJean

correct

5:36 pm

Mom

EspritdJean, ..Carleekat gave me this clue ...here goes.. de4,5 minus last letter+ Equal Rights Ammendment+ Mr kennedy's first name common

5:36 pm

Gemster

OK, thanks! I was going to ask what they were, then as I was typing I saw the word list and thought "OH, duh!"

5:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have the 9 -- it was sort of clued just recently. de8 = to remove air, then add the plural letter

5:37 pm

Mom

take off the last letter for the 8, Espritd

5:37 pm

EspritdJean

oy, that's pretty convoluted Mom

5:38 pm

Mom

it worked for me. :) Do you have the ae 6/18 and ae 7/32?

5:38 pm

EspritdJean

I have that 8/45 but it's not letting me pluralize it

5:38 pm

Mom

if so add the de to those words

5:38 pm

Mom

past tense

5:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

gem, if you know the point calue for the word, you can find it more easily. Examples: 4,4 = all 1-pt letters. 4,8 = usually has one 5-pt letter (or a combo of 2-or-more tiles that adds up to 5)

5:39 pm

EspritdJean

tks mom

5:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, sorry, de9 is not the plural letter but the past tense!! (oops!)

5:39 pm

Mom

:), you are so welcome

5:40 pm

i was wondering if it might be a little too much at this time of night kristin...but would just love something !

5:48 pm

Jadeomoan

what I wouldn't give for a child psychologist right about now....

5:48 pm

Mom

why is that Jade?

5:49 pm

kristinc

I know, I'm disappointed...learned this week that eating late no longer agrees with my very pregnant body...can you believe it!?! finally an excuse to snack late and then heartburn like a man! I can't win!

5:49 pm

Jadeomoan

Having an extremely difficult time making a very important decision

5:49 pm

Mom

I'm sorry Jade. Wish there was something I could do

5:50 pm

kristinc

is there someone trusted you can talk to jade?

5:50 pm

Jadeomoan

Can I bend your ear a bit, Mom?

5:50 pm

Mom

sure, go right ahead

5:51 pm

Jadeomoan

I've been talking to my one trusted person, and she is adamant about things, and I am....*sigh* confused.

5:51 pm

Karys

kristin.....worse is to come....never ever suffered with my 'tummy'.....and just this last few weeks late night snacking has to be really vetted !!!

5:51 pm

kristinc

I see...I bet mom will have great thoughts for you!

5:51 pm

Mom

oh Kristin, I don't know about that but I can try

5:52 pm

kristinc

yep...I know...I can now really relate to my dad particularly. Hopefully this will be short lived and just a preview of what is to come right? :)

5:52 pm

Jadeomoan

Long story short...I haven't had as much contact with my daughter as I should have while I was in school. I sacrificed A LOT to go to school, to make things work. My daughter has been cared after by my ex-mother-in-law, who has helped both me & my ex out greatly, BUT....

5:52 pm

Karys

thats about it kristin !!!!

5:53 pm

Jadeomoan

the ex-MIL has been slinging mud in all directions behind everyone's back.

5:53 pm

5:54 pm

Jadeomoan

I am facing a move because of my new job. My ex-husband & I discussed removing my ex-MIL out of the picture so that she is away from all of that negativity. We've devised a plan that we alternate years with our daughter.

5:54 pm

Jadeomoan

My sister says not to.

5:54 pm

pabtrek

first ca6 please

5:54 pm

Jadeomoan

My daughter feels like her father has abandoned her, and is terrified of ANY changes.

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

Jadeomoan

I do NOT want to give my ex-MIL ANY FURTHER control over what's going on in my daughter's life.

5:55 pm

kristinc

thanks knight...I was missing that too

5:55 pm

Mom

how long has your daughter lived with your ex MIL?

5:56 pm

Jadeomoan

the last 9 months.

5:56 pm

Jadeomoan

But she's been in her life since she was born

5:56 pm

Mom

did she live with dad before that?

5:56 pm

Jadeomoan

she lived with both of us before that.

5:56 pm

Karys

Jade.....time is different in a child's world Jade, and she will always be your daughter and take her lead from you

5:57 pm

kristinc

okay, I need to take a break and get a little housework done...back for my final 74 later

5:57 pm

Ogdens Nut

Jade, does your ex agree that his mother is a problem ?

5:57 pm

Jadeomoan

bye kristin

5:57 pm

Mom

the greatest influence is a child's life is the same sex parent.

5:57 pm

kristinc

peace to you jade...sounds like you're on the right track

5:57 pm

Karys

bye kristin...take care of you both !

5:57 pm

Mom

bye bye Kristin, hurry back

5:57 pm

Jadeomoan

yes, zenmed, he does agree that she is a major problem.

5:57 pm

Jadeomoan

thanks, kristin

5:58 pm

Mom

will your ex be moving to Nebraska also or will he stay in CO

5:58 pm

Karys

Jade does the time scale have to be yearly ?

5:58 pm

carleekat

well..i can honestly say this grid is now TICKING Me off...

5:58 pm

Jadeomoan

Mom, he'll stay in Colorado for the time being. He's trying to leave the state too. Karys, I don't want it to be longer than a year.

5:59 pm

Mom

lol Carlee, you are not one to be ticked off :)

5:59 pm

Jadeomoan

The ex wants every two years. Don't want that.

5:59 pm

Karys

Jade....it needs to be a lot less than a year, at this time in her life a year is too long

6:00 pm

carra

im only at 80 words

6:00 pm

carra

lol

6:00 pm

Jadeomoan

How would you work that with school, Karys?

6:00 pm

carleekat

actually..what is ticking me off most is..when the grid this big..the site so slow...

6:00 pm

Mom

I think that would be a wonderful plan if he could be in the same state. As it is, she will have a different school each year. That may harm her in her studies. I think if he could be in the same area as you and then you and he could share time but much shorter than a year's span

6:01 pm

Jadeomoan

I hate that too carlee

6:01 pm

Ogdens Nut

Sorry for intruding, Jade, but if your ex and you agree, then can't you take your daughter with you when you move and remove the MIL from the picture ?

6:01 pm

Jadeomoan

Mom, he's thinking of moving to Michigan if he gets the means to do so.

6:01 pm

Karys

I don't know Jade....but having been a foster parent I do know that a year is too long

6:01 pm

6:02 pm

6:02 pm

I'd be moving from big city, to small, hometown. Everyone knows everyone else.

6:04 pm

Mom

Would your husband agree to letting her go to Nebraska with you had let him have her in the summer and holidays when school is not in session?

6:04 pm

Jadeomoan

That's what we discussed.

6:05 pm

Jadeomoan

He's all for that.

6:05 pm

ExWren

Thank you Mom, I was just about to suggest that.

6:05 pm

pabtrek

sorry to but it Jade, how does your daughter feel about this, what does she think of her grandmother

6:05 pm

Mom

:), ExWren.
I think that would be best for your daughter.

6:06 pm

ExWren

It would be too upsetting to keep uprooting her every year, she should be with one parent, and the other having regular access.

6:06 pm

Flask1

hi again...clues please for the 2 li8's

6:06 pm

Mom

I agree ExWren

6:06 pm

ExWren

Children need routine in their lives

6:06 pm

Jadeomoan

no need to apologize, pab. Everyone can butt in, I'm asking for it. Cierra (my daughter) is confused. She wants to spend more time with both of us, sees her father as abandoning her.

6:07 pm

carra

thats what my parents did... i would go to my moms for summer and holidays

6:07 pm

Jadeomoan

She loves her grandmother, but knows her grandmother isn't all that great.

6:08 pm

Hi all

6:08 pm

Mom

I can see where she would think that but if you both sit down with her and explain that you must go to Nebraska for your job and dad has to do what is best for him to do to be able to care for her.

6:08 pm

Jadeomoan

I'm the one who should be apologizing.

6:08 pm

pabtrek

6:10 pm

jade, if the MIL is not acting in your daughter's best long-term interest; then with your ex's agreement, I would suggest that you remove her from the picture asap, and then separately you can discuss your daughter's living arrangements...

6:13 pm

Jadeomoan

She doesn't like it when we argue

6:13 pm

Why are you afraid of being open with your daughter, Jade?

6:22 pm

Flask1

thanks Jellen.....

6:23 pm

Jadeomoan

I've always been open with my daughter. But I've also been extremely guarded. I'm afraid of how she'll take it. She is terrified right now of any change. Her father scared the heck out of her earlier this year because he said he was moving to another state and was going to take her with him, without consulting me. I on the other hand, have been as open & honest with everyone on this whole thing. They just can't give me the same courtesy.

6:24 pm

Mom

good night Flask, pleasant dreams

6:29 pm

Jadeomoan

Mom, I'll have the means to keep her all the time AFTER I start the new job, it'll take a couple of weeks. And having her spend time with grandma was a mutual decision by both her father & I.

6:30 pm

Jadeomoan

Congrats, Flask

6:30 pm

Got it. Thanks.

6:31 pm

Jadeomoan

They know it's going to take me a couple of weeks to get completely moved out there.

6:31 pm

Ogdens Nut

Very well done Jade - your girl at her age needs security and needs to know that you will always be there for her - if you can tell her that and she understands that, then that, I feel, is the main thing

6:32 pm

Mom

can you take her with you to look for an apartment? Let her know that she is part of this moving process. Try and include her as much as you can with the move

6:32 pm

Jadeomoan

My daughter is my hero. Literally and figuratively. She knows that. I gain a lot of strength from her, and she from me. But when things are shaky like this, it usually takes a lot out of both of us.

6:32 pm

periwinkle

I am stuck in the RE's and not happy

6:33 pm

Mom

How far away will you be living from where you live now?

6:33 pm

Ogdens Nut

Very best wishes Jade, must get to bed....

6:33 pm

Jadeomoan

Mom, I was planning on doing so, but, not sure if it's going to be possible. I'll be moving 3 hours away.

6:44 pm

everyone make up their own ending to this proverb, please, for laughs: "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice..."

6:44 pm

pabtrek

thanks Jacula, Knight, and mymuse

6:44 pm

mymuseisme

the first 200 were a breeze; down to 80 that are hiding in there somewhere

6:44 pm

Jacula

Jade - hugs to you. Been there myself in the past. You WILL be ok. xx

6:45 pm

Mom

you will see your little girl in the morning and it will all come into place for you. You can sit and have a heart to heart talk with your daughter.

6:45 pm

hi pab

6:45 pm

hurshy, i only start worrying when the fool me gets into double digits

6:45 pm

periwinkle

66 left for me

6:45 pm

Jadeomoan

Thanks, Jacula!

6:45 pm

Jacula

hursh - 'shame on me', I guess. (The ending for the proverb.

6:45 pm

pam

Jade, what happened???

6:45 pm

carleekat

hey..jade.. go ahead and cry..u'll feel better and get it all out...

6:45 pm

hurshy

but jacs, that's the original! lol

6:46 pm

hurshy

jack mccoy filled it in with "no deal"

6:46 pm

Jacula

pam - well stop chewing on it, no one else will be able to re4/5 it! LOL

6:46 pm

Jadeomoan

hursh, fool me twice and you'd better hide for fear of losing a limb.

6:46 pm

mymuseisme

fool me twice and feel my shoe

6:46 pm

hurshy

the klingons fill it in with "prepare to die"

6:46 pm

Jadeomoan

Pam, long story.

6:46 pm

hurshy

lol, that's a good one muse

6:46 pm

Jacula

Hursh - Is it? Not heard it before. It just seemed the most logical ending. LOL

6:46 pm

pam

chewing on what, Jac???

6:47 pm

pam

Are you okay, jade?

6:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah,,,that' was me......

6:47 pm

hurshy

well you're very logical jac

6:48 pm

Jadeomoan

For the most part, I'm ok, Pam. Just upset, and trying to deal with it. The Beatles song "With a Little Help From My Friends" just came on....oh great.

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

muse: LOVE it LOL

6:48 pm

Jacula

OOps, I meant TO - 'chewing on my clue'. Sorry, pam.

6:48 pm

pam

LOL, Jac

6:48 pm

mymuseisme

lol TO and Hursh, just figured I'd like to kick em in the backside then

6:48 pm

pam

Are you still moving, Jade? I am glad you are okay, and know from experience that this is a great group when one is upset...

6:49 pm

Jellen

re7/32 (first) clue?

6:49 pm

Jacula

hursh - how about 'fool me twice and pay the price!'?

6:49 pm

Jadeomoan

Yeah, I have to move, Pam. No question about it. But the quandry is whether or not I take my daughter with me. Divorce situation & all.

6:49 pm

KnightTime

re7.32 = prepares

6:49 pm

Jacula

Jellen - re7/32 - slang word for cash.

6:50 pm

badplus

fool me twice, shame on me...fool me three times a lady?

6:50 pm

Jellen

ty, KT and Jac

6:50 pm

hurshy

lol

6:50 pm

pam

Oh..... Does your ex- have the ability to fight you on it? And, is he a good father?

6:50 pm

Jacula

bad - are you listening to Lionel Ritchie? LOL

6:50 pm

Jadeomoan

Ability to fight me on it, yes. Good father, HIGHLY questionable.

6:50 pm

mymuseisme

I like it Jac!

6:50 pm

badplus

not at the moment, no :P

6:51 pm

pam

WEll then, I hope that whatever decision you and your daughter make is one that is abided by...

6:51 pm

Jacula

Thanks, mymuse. It could be an advert for a divorce lawyer, maybe?

6:51 pm

Mom

Jade, do you need a court order to take her to Nebraska with you?

6:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

LOL jacs i like yours, too!

6:52 pm

Jadeomoan

Pam. You are brilliant!

6:52 pm

mymuseisme

Jade, pardon me sticking my nose in but if the divorce agreement doesn't stipulate you having to stay in state I don't think he can stop it if it improves your situation

6:52 pm

pam

Me? How? Why?

6:52 pm

ExWren

Jade, I think you should try to take your daughter with you, if it at all possible, or she will think you have deserted her. Just make sure that her Daddy gets to see her, or keep in regular contact with her

6:52 pm

Jadeomoan

No pardon needed muse. It would greatly improve the situation for all, but, it isn't the ex-husband I'm worried about, it's the ex-mother-in-law.

6:53 pm

Jacula

Good advice, Wren.

6:53 pm

Jadeomoan

Pam, I need to *ask* my daughter what she wants. And tell her what we (her father & I) would like to see happen.

6:53 pm

mymuseisme

The only worry there is if she instigates her son

6:53 pm

Jadeomoan

Great advice, Wren.

6:53 pm

mymuseisme

I agree with Wren also

6:54 pm

pam

Ugh, really Jade? I can't even imagine... the M-I-L? What the heck can she say and why does she get to say it?

6:54 pm

mymuseisme

oooh, I know that situation

6:54 pm

Jadeomoan

She's been involved in Cierra's life since the day she was born & has been caring for our daughter on a daily basis for 9 months now.

6:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay carlee! and hi, wren!

6:55 pm

pam

Yes, you do need to *ask* your daughter... and are you and her dad in agreement as to what you would like to see happen?

6:55 pm

Jadeomoan

Thanks, Mom.

6:55 pm

mymuseisme

hmmm have an ar8 but not a 7, sooooo....hunting

6:55 pm

carleekat

past tense of the ar5 before it

6:55 pm

Jacula

ar7, TO, is the past tense of the ar5/10 before it.

6:55 pm

Jadeomoan

I welcome any & all emails on this subject. You are all SO wonderful.

6:55 pm

pam

Well, she will miss Cierra, and Cierra her, but that is not insurmountable--emails, phone calls, and visits...

6:56 pm

Jacula

ar5/10 is a tapestry weave or rich tapestry. (Was in the grid not long ago.)

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

jeez i thought that word meant tapestries....

6:56 pm

Jadeomoan

Pam, we are in a holding pattern at this moment as to what we would like to see happen.

6:56 pm

carleekat

jade....best advise....find a horribly sad movie..cry your eyes out...

6:56 pm

Jacula

TO - it does. LOL

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

how can a tapestry be past tense???

6:57 pm

Jacula

carlee - what, like 'Ghost'?

6:57 pm

pam

I hope that the holding pattern is one that you can work through amicably enough--with your ex. HE can tell his mum.

6:57 pm

carleekat

yeap... like ghost..

6:57 pm

Jacula

TO - I should have said adjectival form. I just thought 'past tense' might be easier. Sorry for being misleading.:(

6:58 pm

KnightTime

it isn;t a past tense, it means having the qualities of

6:58 pm

ExWren

Of course MIL will miss her grand daughter, but surely she would want what is best fir the little one. My son and DIL are about to emigrate to Australia and I will miss little Charlie like mad, but I can't interfere in their life, they must do what is right for them

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

laater peri

6:59 pm

carleekat

thanks mom

6:59 pm

Jacula

It's just that when there's a 'little newspaper chief' ending most people seem to see it as past tense.

hmmm, still puzzled at "ar" tapestry

7:00 pm

By the way, I have given up on the grid, it is far too big for me, I have reached 150 words and that will have to do for tonight!

Jadeomoan

Une!

7:01 pm

mymuseisme

hi feather

7:01 pm

Jacula

What a grid, eh?! It was a challenge, that's for sure. It's left one Babbler sitting on a balcony (not about to throw herself off, I hope!) and another with a numb bum.

7:02 pm

Uneaixoise

Jade!

7:02 pm

Hi Jade! trying to catch up on the chat...what's this? you have a new job and moving? where?

Hi feather

7:02 pm

Because I just got a scathing email from someone here, saying that I'm being selfish, Pam.

7:02 pm

hurshy

:O

7:02 pm

Jadeomoan

DAWGER! *runs to dawger for a hug*

7:02 pm

ExWren

I am going to look into buying a webcam. Mike has his own blog, I don't understand what you mean by Yahoo messenger or MSN?

7:03 pm

Mom

really? that is nervy

7:03 pm

hurshy

i wonder how many scathing emails i'd have got by now if my address was posted!

7:03 pm

lbdawger

Squeeeeeeek *hugs Jade back just as furiously*

7:03 pm

Jadeomoan

Yes, I'm moving. I'm moving to north Platte, Nebraska here within the next few weeks.

7:03 pm

Jacula

Jade - Bl**dy hell! Who?

7:03 pm

featherbee

*trying to catch up to the chat*

7:03 pm

pam

That is patently rude, Jade. Selfish? For thinking about what is best for you, for your daughter, and for her family. I don't know why you are exes, nor it that my business, but here, tonight, all you seem is caring.

7:03 pm

Jacula

Hi lbd and anyone else I've missed.

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

une - cute icon!

7:04 pm

Jacula

Jade - your M-I-L isn't a Babbler is she?

7:04 pm

Mom

Jade, I don't suppose I need to tell you what "dad" said to tell them.

7:04 pm

lbdawger

Hi Jac.

7:04 pm

Mom

excellent Jac

7:04 pm

Jadeomoan

I don't think I should divulge who sent it to me. If they wish to out themselves, then that's their business.

7:04 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks, TO :-)

7:04 pm

Jadeomoan

No, My ex MIL isn't a Babbler.

7:04 pm

hurshy

i mean it's one thing to have an opinion, but what good did any scathing email ever do???

7:04 pm

featherbee

pam, stid did a fabulous job on your icon! that's one of my faves now!

7:05 pm

Jadeomoan

Thanks Pam.

7:05 pm

Well, congrats on the new job Jade. North Platte Nebraska...hmmm, don't think i've been there. suspect it to be rather....flat?

7:05 pm

pam

Thanks, feather!!!!!

7:05 pm

Jacula

Wren - MSN or Yahoo are realtime chat thingies. You can either type or talk (if you have a webcam with a mike). Skype is another option. I'll e-mail details of it all to you tomorrow.

LOL...no, dawger, it's got hills, lakes & a couple of rivers. It's a quaint little town.

Really, Jade, no need to thank me. If I felt differently, I would keep the judgement to myself.

Thank you Jac. I'm not that clever with computers, basically make it up as I go along, largely self taught

7:07 pm

Mom

I am stunned by that Jade.

7:07 pm

Jadeomoan

And TO, you are noticed TONS too! *hugs TO*

7:07 pm

lbdawger

as for the email. you know who it is, and s/he knows who they are...one has a right to their opionion, even if it's wrong

7:08 pm

kristinc

hi there muse

7:08 pm

featherbee

that's why i don't publish my email very often. i'm of the opinion "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all", and wouldn't want to open myself up for any negativity

7:08 pm

pam

it's true, lbd, everyone has the right to be wrong...

7:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

me? nope, wasn't me, i didn't do it...

7:08 pm

Jadeomoan

that they do, dawger. that they do. I just don't think they know the whole story in order to make the opinion they made.

7:08 pm

Jacula

Wren - that's okay. I've got to do the big weekly shop later and then get my stuff transferred from my old PC to this new one. Once that is done I can send you the info and/or links you need and then you can decide what you want.

7:09 pm

kristinc

and because I used to send feather all sorts of viagara spam :)

7:09 pm

featherbee

oh yes, we saw hail! daniel was very interested in the ice raining down

7:10 pm

meliae

a+auto+ a vowel

7:10 pm

Jacula

kristinc - Yes. My son built me a new pc whilst I was away on holiday the other week. However, it is 'naked and alien' because it doesn't have all of my 'stuff' on it and it doesn't do things quite like my old one did. LOL.

7:10 pm

kristinc

I should rather like to lmao at this point...could be good for me

7:10 pm

featherbee

oh and jac, we're doing well, if a bit exhausted from closing the classroom up!

7:10 pm

lbdawger

i think it's rather presumptuous to even write something like that, without being part of the whole situation. granted s/he may have experienced something similar, but it's not the same, and it's not his/her life! *phhhlllliiibbbbbbttttt*

7:10 pm

Jacula

feather - ROFLOL. A bit late for that!

7:10 pm

cybernan

ty meliae

7:10 pm

Jadeomoan

I opened myself up to this one, feather, so all comments, whether good or bad were asked for. Who knows, I may gleen something from their "advice".

7:11 pm

kristinc

a little late for that feather...although may come in handy sooner than later

7:11 pm

featherbee

I had a fantasy today of taking the belly off for an hour or so kristin, so i could work more productively on my room

7:11 pm

Jadeomoan

I didn't think it was you, Mom.

7:11 pm

meliae

your welcome

7:11 pm

kristinc

I hate getting computers clothed jac...takes a long time

7:11 pm

Mom

Oh no Jade, it would not be me. I am in your corner

7:12 pm

as long as you don't let it bother you jade! i'm too thin skinned.

7:12 pm

Whereas, most of you know a majority of what's been going on lately & know my situation.

7:12 pm

lbdawger

7:12 pm

meliae

Is the AE 7/32 related to the AE 6/18 and could I get a clue for the AE 6/18 first one please

7:12 pm

featherbee

or sleep on my back....

7:12 pm

Jadeomoan

Believe it or not, feather, broadcasting school has given me a thicker skin.

7:12 pm

Jacula

meliae - ae6/18 is to put air into. ae7 expands on that.

Amen Jac

7:17 pm

Jadeomoan

Read the chat log -

It is tragic what you are doing to your daughter. First you have her, then you split up with her dad, then you stick her with a destructive mother in law, now you are going to move 1000's of miles away from her Dad. Nice, very considerate. And as icing on the cake, you are too chicken to talk to her, so you are just going to surprise her.

I love it that YOU sacrificed a lot. Yeah right. You sacrificed nothing. Your daughter is sacrificing everything, and she has NO CHOICE. That's real good. VERY MATURE.

This is no surprise based on your life philosophy in your profile:
Live life for yourself rather than others.
Attract only positive things for yourself by following your bliss.
The first step to touching the hearts of others, is to touch your own.

This is one of the most self-centered things I have ever read. Please If you love your daughter, do what's best for her. If you can't then start saving money now, she will need if for therapy, jail, drug re-hab, babies, etc later.

7:17 pm

pam

you and me both, Jac

7:18 pm

featherbee

wow. just wow.

7:18 pm

Jadeomoan

That's the email I received.

7:18 pm

featherbee

why be so hateful?

7:19 pm

pam

Drug re-hab? Jail? Oh, my, but someone has unresolved issues in their own life and is quick to project. Of all the self-serving trash I have read...

7:19 pm

Jacula

Heck, jade! Well, it's no one from my side of the pond. 'centred' is spelled 'wrong'.

7:19 pm

Jadeomoan

LMFAO, Jacula!

7:19 pm

kristinc

someone doesn't know how to play nice...seems inappropriate regardless of whether you agree with them or not

7:19 pm

lbdawger

what i read is a very bitter person with some emotional baggage of his/her own. You got to be the target of the vent and that's just as sad.

7:19 pm

Jadeomoan

THAT was funny!

7:19 pm

kristinc

hah jac...we need email forensics!

7:19 pm

featherbee

yes, exactly kristin.

Wow, Jade.

7:21 pm

Jadeomoan

I responded: Thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate your candor.

Unfortunately, I do not think you know the whole story of the situation, and are not aware of the full circumstances.

Ironically enough, the quote was one that my daughter found & picked out for me to use.

Thank you.

7:21 pm

Very polite, Jade. I would have been prone to tell them to bugger off until they dealt with their own issues

7:22 pm

lbdawger

Hi green

7:22 pm

mymuseisme

Yes kristin and lbd..good points. Maybe this person who sent it went thru similar circumstances but instead of offering advice, his/her own baggage came through instead.

kristinc

yeah I don't know...after loosing a chlid recently, I'm fairly sensitive the importance of putting at least my kids first. Now I did't read the whole story jade (I left as you were explaining) but from what I heard, it sounds like you were really taking this seriously and doing what you think it the best for everyone...I can totally appreciate that.

7:23 pm

Jadeomoan

7:23 pm

7:35 pm

hurshy

well, we had one key to the dumpster area, which we gave to our cleaning service, on account of they take the trash out. today i disassembled an old desk and had to throw the parts away so i asked to borrow their key. now they are a much bigger business and we sort of pay them fees or whatever to use the dumpster, and she was like, a new key is five dollars. and i said well that's ok, we don't need a new key. and she's like, why don't you have yours?

7:35 pm

Jadeomoan

Not on purpose, nut! It's tears of joy, seeing you here.

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

featherbee

*puts book title in memory banks* thank you!

7:35 pm

hurshy

and i said well, the cleaning people have it. and she said, why did you give it to them? and i said, cause they usually take the trash out.

7:35 pm

evanonut

*offers up tissue to jade* there there, i'm here here

7:35 pm

hurshy

and she was like upset that we gave our key to them, because someone has been rampantly putting extra things in the dumpster or something.

7:36 pm

pam

thanks, lbd!

7:36 pm

featherbee

like somebody couldn't toss things over the fence?

7:36 pm

hurshy

and i said well it isn't our cleaning people, trust me, they barely do our cleaning, nevermind EXTRA trash

7:36 pm

Jadeomoan

*blows nose*

7:36 pm

hurshy

7:36 pm

Jacula

'rampantly' putting extra things into the dumpster? Oh my! What a porno picture that conjures up. LOL

7:37 pm

Jadeomoan

LOL, nut & jac

Jacula

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

7:43 pm

8:21 pm

Jacula

Lyme disease can affect the skin, joints, nervous system, and other organ systems. Symptoms, and their severity, can vary from person to person.

The symptoms of Lyme disease are often described as occurring in three stages, though not everyone experiences all stages:

1. The first sign of infection usually is a circular rash that appears within 1â€“2 weeks of infection but may develop up to 30 days after the tick bite. This rash often has a characteristic "bull's-eye" appearance, with a central red spot surrounded by clear skin that is ringed by an expanding red rash. It may also appear as an expanding ring of solid redness. It may be warm to the touch and is usually not painful or itchy. The bull's-eye rash may be more difficult to see on people with darker skin tones, where it may take on a bruise-like appearance. The rash usually resolves in about a month. Although this rash is considered typical of Lyme disease, many patients never develop it.
2. Along with the rash, a person may experience flu-like symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches. Left untreated, symptoms of the initial illness may go away on their own. But in some people, the infection can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of this stage of Lyme disease usually appear within several weeks after the tick bite, even in someone who has not developed the initial rash. The person may feel very tired and unwell, or may have more areas of rash that aren't at the site of the bite.

Lyme disease can affect the heart, leading to an irregular heart rhythm or chest pain. It can spread to the nervous system, causing facial paralysis (Bell's palsy) or tingling and numbness in the arms and legs. It can start to cause headaches and neck stiffness, which may be a sign of meningitis. Swelling and pain in the large joints can also occur.
3. The last stage of Lyme disease may occur if early disease was not detected or appropriately treated. Symptoms of late Lyme disease can appear any time from weeks to years after an infectious tick bite and include arthritis, particularly in the knees, and, mainly in adults, cognitive deterioration.

Contagiousness

Lyme disease is not transmitted from person to person. The risk of developing Lyme disease depends on an individual's exposure to ticks. Kids and adults who spend a lot of time outdoors â€” particularly in or near wooded areas â€” are more likely to contract Lyme disease.

In rare cases, Lyme disease contracted during pregnancy may infect the fetus. If you are pregnant and are concerned about this, talk with your doctor.

Domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, may become infected with Lyme disease bacteria and may carry infected ticks into areas where humans live. If you have a dog or a cat, talk with your veterinarian about what kinds of tick control products and other protective measures you may want to take to prevent your pet from getting â€” or transmitting â€” Lyme disease.
Diagnosis

The most telling symptom of Lyme disease is the circular bull's-eye rash. Usually, because the rash is very distinct, a person with the rash can be immediately diagnosed with Lyme disease and blood tests are not necessary. Because the rash can rapidly disappear, consider taking a picture of any suspicious rash on your child if you are unable to see the doctor immediately.

In some cases, the bull's-eye rash never forms. In the absence of the rash, doctors must rely on other symptoms combined with an assessment of someone's likelihood of exposure to an infected tick. Blood tests can help diagnose Lyme disease by detecting the presence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in the patient's blood. However, blood tests can give inaccurate results if done within a month after initial infection, since it takes time for the antibodies to develop. Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose because it may resemble many other medical conditions. Your doctor can help to decide whether your child needs a blood test for Lyme disease.
Treating Lyme Disease

Treatment of early localized Lyme disease typically involves a course of antibiotics administered for 3 to 4 weeks.

If diagnosed quickly and treated with antibiotics, Lyme disease in children is almost always curable. The skin rash usually goes away within several days after starting treatment, but other signs and symptoms may persist for several weeks.
Prevention

Ticks frequently live in shady, moist ground cover and also cling to tall grass, brush, shrubs, and low tree branches. Lawns and gardens may harbor ticks, especially at the edges of woods and forests and around old stone walls (areas where deer and mice, the primary hosts of the deer tick, thrive).

To prevent Lyme disease, avoid contact with soil, leaves, and vegetation as much as possible, especially during May, June, and July, when ticks have not yet matured and are harder to detect.

When you do venture into the great outdoors, follow these tips:

* Wear enclosed shoes and boots, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants. Tuck pants into boots or shoes to prevent ticks from crawling up legs.
* Wear light-colored clothing to help you see ticks

8:37 pm

evanonut

hursh, most people use the top of the mattress...

8:37 pm

mymuseisme

wow, hursh that's something!

8:37 pm

lbdawger

okay, i'll bite, how'd you get stuck under a mattress Hursh?

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

I get to do the best thing for my mummy todya

8:38 pm

hurshy

i was rearranging the room, turning the bed. but the room was really small so it turned out i had to semi disassemble the bed

8:38 pm

Jacula

No handles on it, hursh? That's a new trend I deplore in bed manufacture. When you're only little, like wot I am, it's a nightmare without handles.

8:38 pm

lbdawger

what do you get to do for your mum Herin?

8:38 pm

evanonut

what herein?

8:38 pm

mymuseisme

what's that herin

8:38 pm

hurshy

8:38 pm

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

hurshy

it was really quite seinfeldesque, i laughed so much whilst stuck under the mattress.

8:39 pm

steph606

Good, nothing worse than deciding it was better before all the hard work!

9:41 pm

Jacula

There has been a scientific study done that 'proves' that women have far highter pain thresholds than men. Although men may be stronger in the brute physical sense, women are made to cope with pain far better.

9:41 pm

lbdawger

mmmmmooooonnaaaaahhhh

9:41 pm

herinfernallady

Mom NYQUIL, the green death :)

9:43 pm

Men tend to react (to emotional pain) with violence that leads to trouble for them and to wither and whimper re physical pain long before women do so.

9:43 pm

has there ever been a word fourteen letters or more?

9:43 pm

Jacula

goldies - not that I am aware of.

9:44 pm

Mom

I need one more o word from the left side. I might have missed it, if clued earlier. It is an oa word

9:45 pm

Mom

I have oa 4/4

9:45 pm

lbdawger

I think a lot of that has to do with the way males are brought up. a lot of conditioning in how one responds

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

how do you re dogs wagging thing?

9:45 pm

Jacula

Any really long words, goldies, are either going to be Welsh, Maori or German and most of those would not be allowed in the grid anyway, even though compound words do sometimes appear.

9:45 pm

lbdawger

Mom, oa5? one who does the grain?

Jellen

9:47 pm

lbdawger

Jac, yeah i also agree with the fact that overall men don't deal well with pain. but i think they are told to suck it up, and on the obverse, their mothers baby them when they did get hurt or sick. it was the way for attention.

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

never mind i found it

9:48 pm

Jacula

lbd - you may be right there. My ex Bro-I-L still goes to his Mum for her settee and his old 'poorly blanket' even though he's 46 and a policeman now.

10:24 pm

Jacula

qu5/16 following those, think of a jet of water emitting, a squ***. Take off the 's'.

10:25 pm

Jacula

qu4/7 after that is to give up or leave.

10:25 pm

mymuseisme

if we say past tense, that means add an "ed" most times

10:25 pm

herinfernallady

doxy1lover

hi all. any clues for the 9 and 10?

10:26 pm

mymuseisme

as10, de8,9

10:26 pm

Jacula

But we tend to go for 'ed' and say past tense because it's simpler. That way we do not assume everyone has studied grammatical forms.

10:26 pm

jbp

i still am missing a qu, but i'll live. ;-) could I get a clue for the ar 6?

10:26 pm

Jellen

herin, button up jumper - g and n

10:27 pm

ar6/18 is what the cops do when they catch the criminal.

10:27 pm

10:29 pm

mymuseisme

de8,9 = de + ae6

10:29 pm

Jacula

Last ca6, Herin, is what your male feline did when posing for the ladies. Or maybe what you think The Wicet Witches of Ballymena, Worcestershire, Canterbury and the Warlock of Canada did?

harp - her brother-in-law, his wife & 9 year old daughter were hit by a drunk driver & are (were?) in very grave condition, i feel horrible for not having kept up with my e-mail

11:35 pm

harpjane

awful, thanks for letting us know

11:35 pm

helenkeller

i don't think she would mind my telling you, she probably can use all the prayers/support she can get right now

11:35 pm

mymuseisme

oh that's terrible, these people get me so upset that they get in their cars and drive in that condition

11:36 pm

Mom01

what get's me is that the majority of the time the drunk driver is so relaxed that nothing happens to them physically

11:36 pm

helenkeller

i know mymus - it's just plain crazy - you should have to blow into the car to make it start, not into some cops tube

11:37 pm

mymuseisme

what a good idea helen, if only the car mfrs could do that

11:37 pm

Mom01

there's an idea helen...the aclu would be all over that though

11:39 pm

mymuseisme

I know teens and early 20's don't think things through or realize their own condition, but the older ones should know better

11:39 pm

helenkeller

i had a professor who taught learning theory in psych grad school & one day he was making a point about situational learning & said that if you taught people how to drive when they were drunk, they wouldn't make so many mistakes - so, i for one, after i've had a couple (not plastered, mind you) will focus on the tail lights of the car in front of me more than i normally would & make a point of never looking down, like to change the radio station

11:39 pm

danf63

they have that here in CA, but you have to get convicted several times first...should be the FIRST time

11:40 pm

helenkeller

i thought he had a good point there, lotsa ethical issues, but still a valid point

11:40 pm

Mom01

the flaw w/that theory though helen...is that the person is drunk to begin w/& doesn't make good judgement calls.

11:41 pm

harpjane

could i get a clue for some of the big se words?

11:42 pm

helenkeller

mom - like rats in the maze, you gotta make them do it a whole bunch of times before they learn

11:42 pm

danf63

which ones harp?

11:42 pm

Mom01

plus their reaction times are not up to par as w/a sober person

11:42 pm

mymuseisme

also, should have sober students watch a drunk driver try to maneuver a car in a safe area - but probably wouldn't make a difference for some - they think it won't happen to them

11:42 pm

helenkeller

gads - no more chatting, i still have 25 to go

11:42 pm

harpjane

I don't have anything but a bunch of se4's

11:43 pm
