12:46 am

stidmama

ooh! got a 6! :-)

12:46 am

GreyWoulf

sorry to hear that, ursh... if you can, adding ginger to the diet may help alleviate the symptoms

12:46 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Book Doctor!

12:46 am

ursh

odd this "bug" has worked its way through 4 familys over a period of 2 weeks - one of those 48hr virus thingies - thanks for bucket and mop stid but so far they have made it to bathroom on their own

12:47 am

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks for the encouragement, jes. 8-)

12:47 am

stidmama

I was reading about some sort of bug like that recently ursh... not deadly dangerous, but highly contagious. You take care!

12:47 am

Book Doctor Gwen

don't you hate how those darn viruses keep evolving?

12:47 am

ursh

hmm grey woulf have often heard ginger helps tx

12:48 am

flosey

off to bed, just too tired - back in the morning

12:48 am

flosey

goodnight all

12:49 am

stidmama

depends ursh -- sometimes ginger is the right one, sometimes peppermint works better. See what the folks can tolerate (sometimes "chai" like they make in india is perfect)

12:49 am

GreyWoulf

Kirsten takes ginger capsules and drinks ginger ale -- I have also given my children candied ginger and had postive results

12:49 am

stidmama

sweet dreams flosey! see you again soon!

12:49 am

acelightning

just looking at the chat log... the virus is called norovirus or Norwalk virus. causes violent gastrointestinal symptoms for 2 days or so - some people need IV fluids - and then it goes away. except you're still contagious fo a few days after you get better.

12:49 am

flosey

for sure stid

12:49 am

GreyWoulf

nitey nite flosey

12:49 am

12:49 am

i was exposed to it over xmas - my daughter-in-law's family all had it. but if i was going to get it, i'd have been sick by now, so... *knock on wood*

12:50 am

moonwoof

omg. I think I might have beat dart.... WooHOO

12:50 am

acelightning

mama - it's a particular problem aboard cruise ships - it gets into the drinking water

12:50 am

jillibus

over halfway

12:50 am

stidmama

the sound of knocking is drowning out the groans of not finding words easily...

12:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

that's one nasty virus. yuck!

12:50 am

jillibus

no blank tiles

12:51 am

stidmama

go Jill go!

12:51 am

GreyWoulf

If giving ginger ale, flat is better than fresh -- the carbonation can actually work against you

12:51 am

stidmama

go moon go!

12:51 am

jillibus

proud that I remembered the yl word

12:51 am

acelightning

grey - add a pinch of salt to the soda. it deflates the fizz and helps with hydration

12:51 am

ursh

Will get ginger ale for them - tx ace - were you in SA over christmas - seems to have been doing the rounds here in the heat

12:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

woo hooo found all the Gs

12:51 am

mkg

12:52 am

stidmama

YL word? (thinking)

12:52 am

acelightning

no, ursh, but it's all over the USA

12:52 am

GreyWoulf

I will try to remember that trick, ace

12:52 am

Mahn. That so figures. The one night I get it pretty quick, and dart isnt here. That Sux

12:52 am

jillibus

wtg book

12:52 am

ursh

hmm - somebody told me the UK has also had an outbreak

12:52 am

zephyr

ok i found a word thats real and it wont take it :-s

12:52 am

stidmama

oh -- you're DONE done, moon??? YAY!!!!!!

12:53 am

zephyr

oh wait no i didnt :)) n/m

12:53 am

jillibus

typical of enable, zephyr!

12:53 am

acelightning

grey - a pediatrician taught me when my son was small. cola works better for some people than ginger ale

12:53 am

jesdraggon

yeah, the dictionary is mean sometimes, zephyr. i get cranky cuz it doesn't like exotic animals

12:53 am

Nef

From my work it seems there are several different bugs going around now: 1 causes 1-2 days of diarrhea, 1 causes Vomiting and diarrhea for 2 days and one is the old-fashioned fever & flu bug symptoms (GI upset, aches, pains , etc)

12:53 am

moonwoof

Heya stidmama! How've you been?

12:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

zephyr, a common irritant with this game . . .

12:53 am

acelightning

nef - the stomach bug is norovirus, the other probably is regular flu

12:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

there are some obscure words from heraldry it doesn't take, too

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

The other trick to remember with GI bugs is the BRAT diet, it is bland but usually helps keep things where they belong -- Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast

12:54 am

jillibus

was it a typo, zephyr?

12:54 am

jesdraggon

but it tries to balance it out by using quite a few welsh and scottish words instead ;)

12:54 am

zephyr

yeah it was

12:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

mmmm, bland diet . . .

12:55 am

Nef

yeah, ace; but as a nurse I can't diagnose. And I don't know what the 3rd bug is yet :)

12:55 am

acelightning

i'm up to 37 words all on my own

12:55 am

acelightning

nef - what does the third one do?

12:55 am

stidmama

:-D I am enjoying the talk about tummy bugs immensely, but I think I shall take myself away for beddy-bye. For the record, I got to 42 words (67 left) and I am tarred. Sweet dreams or happy days, all!

12:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

found a 6 at last!

12:55 am

jillibus

yeah, s**t happens, zephyr

12:56 am

Book Doctor Gwen

night, stid

12:56 am

mkg

w's done......

12:56 am

acelightning

if i were perfectly healthy, the BRAT diet would make me ill! (i hate applesauce)

12:56 am

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, stid

12:56 am

jillibus

night stiddy

12:56 am

acelightning

nite mama

12:56 am

Nef

Good point, GreyWoulf. The BRAT diet is very good for th GI system after being in distress

12:56 am

12:57 am

GreyWoulf

applesauce is usually the safest way to take in the apples, ace -- you can substitute other forms of apples -- the key reason is due to the pectin they contain

If polyglot is a word, why isn't glot a word?

3:13 am

mrpresident

thanks sprite!

3:13 am

sprite

as long as he did not leave the church before the singing, mrP, he must have loved it :)

3:13 am

Frances

sprite are you looking at a different grid - fa4?

3:14 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp - does High Beaming mean anything to you?

3:14 am

sprite

well errrr Frances... it is actually pa4, but while typing I did not remember correctly and I had just started and so I thought there might be an F and and and....

3:14 am

mrpresident

polyglot has something to do with change of text... it is a word in itself... like uncouth... couth is not a word

3:15 am

herinfernallady

Sorry LIckety but Madison(?) looks like Mr Pres

3:15 am

mrpresident

I love to use the word uncouth!! great word

3:15 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh UnCOuth!!!! Now that is a topic to explore!

3:15 am

sprite

I think my joke about the singing and the church is not a joke in english! That is funny to know :)

3:15 am

licketySplitAUS

MAddison is a spliting image - but she has my brains

3:15 am

mrpresident

I am NOT highbeaming!

3:16 am

sprite

ah well, poor kid... but at least she has the looks! ;)

3:16 am

mrpresident

3:16 am

Douglas

3:16 am

licketySplitAUS

lady - spuds are spuds, chip, wedge and then mash over it

3:17 am

mrpresident

doug, I ask the same of couth

3:17 am

mrpresident

couth, by all measures, should mean proper....

3:17 am

Frances

Lickety I am so looking forward to getting home on Tuesday. I miss expert so much.

3:17 am

sprite

I do, mrP!
And I love lickety too... hence the teasing :)

3:18 am

Douglas

I'm with you, mrp, if uncouth is a word, then couth must be...and let's not forget gruntled

3:18 am

mrpresident

we love abit of ribbing!

3:18 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh Frances - I didn't know I wasn't part of your life recently ;-)

3:18 am

sprite

isn't it great that it doesn't exist, mrP? I love those linguistical oddities.

3:18 am

Douglas

If someone can be disgruntled, then they can be gruntled, which is actually a word meaning contented

3:19 am

licketySplitAUS

but frances - I only pop in for flip and the occasionaly play in the chat log

3:19 am

Frances

Lickety I am dog/house sitting for my son and he doesn't want me downloading anything. He's a real killjoy.

3:19 am

Douglas

It's a great conversation starter when someone asks you how you are doing and you reply, "I'm quite gruntled today, thank you."

3:19 am

mrpresident

yes, gruntle is a strange one!! what is with that, cause it also means to grunt

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Yes well i lost it kinda had a bad night sleep

3:19 am

loredana

lol douglas

3:19 am

licketySplitAUS

Frances - tell him to send me an email and I'll explain stuff

3:19 am

mrpresident

is gruntled a word though, not sure it was past tense-able???

3:20 am

sprite

Frances, darling, tell him next time he wants you to dogsit for him, that you will only come if he installs the expert for you.

3:20 am

mrpresident

I know that disgruntled can be past tensed

3:20 am

licketySplitAUS

past tense-able doesn't sound right - Sounds like a big bowel movement

3:20 am

sprite

now there is a word... pasttenseable. I like that, mrP.

3:20 am

Frances

Lickety I know t isn't a problem but he uses his PC for his business and I guess he just desn't want to risk getting any virus in it.

3:21 am

mrpresident

no, past tense-able is when I tell your family members to FO and stop saying nasty things

3:21 am

sprite

the expert is virus free!!

3:21 am

moonwoof

I thought the church line was funny...

3:21 am

licketySplitAUS

Frances - perfectly understandable- killjoys are killjoys

3:21 am

Frances

I know that sprite

3:22 am

moonwoof

You could just "get some email" Frances... It's not like you install expert.

3:22 am

herinfernallady

I saw a guy today wearing a death metal tshirt and i had to laugh. The band is mostly accountants

3:22 am

mrpresident

sorry, kilojoules are killjoy??

3:22 am

licketySplitAUS

killgridjoy - the person that posts all the words in one chat message

3:23 am

moonwoof

I would say that's a Measure of joy killing, Mr.P

3:23 am

Frances

.....or as we say, calories mrp LOL

3:23 am

moonwoof

Do we get to eat killjoys now? That would be cool.

3:24 am

moonwoof

And traffic gawkers and telemarketers...

3:24 am

licketySplitAUS

I eat 100,000 killjoys today and the world became a better place

3:24 am

Frances

I miss seeing the videos at the end and seeing everyone saying how great they are.

3:24 am

sprite

actually, that is true. It is not an install. Just an exe. You could use it and remove it :)

3:25 am

moonwoof

And Think of all the kilojoules that would produce! We could power Africa.

3:25 am

Frances

You'd be bursting at\ the seams with all that joy you conumed lickety

3:25 am

sprite

wooooooooof! I missed you!

3:25 am

mrpresident

3:25 am

Frances

Thank you lickety - I'll watch out for it.

3:26 am

sprite

we could all bother you until you can be bothered, lickety.

3:26 am

licketySplitAUS

nurese - your most welcome - make sure you use lickety add

3:26 am

sprite

rough in a good sense or just an exhausting sense, woof?

3:26 am

licketySplitAUS

sorry - my typing skills are affected by my champagne

3:26 am

sprite

lickety add is the best thing since the birth of babble.

3:26 am

moonwoof

the exhausting kind. It's a good thing I'm used to moving around.

3:26 am

mrpresident

oh my, you can spell champagne??

3:26 am

moonwoof

I think I scared Mom earlier.

3:27 am

loredana

i second that!!!

3:27 am

sprite

arrgghh, poor woof :(
What happened? And how did you scare Mom?

3:27 am

moonwoof

It's ok, lickety. I get it. Champagne unlike many french words is pho-en-etic

3:27 am

sprite

speaking of which... did westford return yesterday?

3:28 am

mrpresident

oh the cheat, he typed it from the label on the bottle!

3:28 am

sprite

actually, champagne is one of those words you get to spell better with more of the stuff inside you.

3:28 am

moonwoof

Actually, I think just letting on that I move every couple of months did it... But she didnt like mention of snakes scorpions rodents or beds without frames, either.

3:28 am

sprite

means he is smart, mrP. You want that in your man.

3:29 am

mrpresident

beds without frames??

3:29 am

licketySplitAUS

hang on - it's not french

3:29 am

sprite

lol woof! Quite a different life style from what most of us are used to, that is for sure. Or even able to cope with. You are one helluva lady.

3:29 am

moonwoof

Or men that go in and get snakes for you. I like those, too. But those men are better when they're not smart. They go in faster if they're not smart.

3:30 am

Frances

A bed without a frame is surely a hammock

3:30 am

sprite

I love hammocks

3:30 am

moonwoof

Or it's a bed with less storage space LOL

3:30 am

moonwoof

How can champagne not be French???

3:30 am

sprite

true, woof! And they move out faster afterwards too.

3:31 am

licketySplitAUS

moonwoof - are you like ..... feral?

3:31 am

kathw

thank you lickety - I just received my babble expert and can see why everyone loves it so much!

3:31 am

moonwoof

I can be =)

3:31 am

sprite

only in frameless beds, probably, lickety :)

3:31 am

moonwoof

But I try to just keep it at a heathenish level most of the time.

3:32 am

sprite

wonderful, isn't it, kathw. Especially the lickety Add.

3:32 am

sprite

I knew I loved you for a reason, woof...

3:32 am

kathw

yes, no more excuses now!!

3:33 am

Frances

Kathw now you can see how I miss expert so much.

3:33 am

moonwoof

No, when we got here there was no heat no water 6 scorpions 2 snakes and some sort of spider, well long story short, it's hard to fully Proof a living area against everything for 8 months.

3:33 am

licketySplitAUS

hhehehe - kathw - thanks for the feedback!

3:33 am

sprite

I am still having the profile problems, lickety. Nothing seems to be able to solve it.

3:34 am

licketySplitAUS

moonwoof - what is that on your shoulder?

3:34 am

sprite

good grief, woof, that sounds intense :)

3:34 am

sprite

hey, found the last HP book word :)

3:35 am

moonwoof

Oh yeah. And no furniture. I tried to tell her that I can usually take care of anything the terrier won't but if I cant I have a husband a cell phone and a credit card... She didnt seem convinced.

3:35 am

moonwoof

Probably dandrif =P

3:35 am

mrpresident

Hi Moon

3:35 am

3:36 am

moonwoof

You can't really miss the crawly stuff around here... It usually weighs more than the dog.

3:36 am

moonwoof

Evening lady

3:36 am

sprite

I am not easily scared, but creepers with the weight of a dog... hmz, I think I'd scream.

3:36 am

herinfernallady

eww bugs

3:37 am

mrpresident

some people like stability and harmony in a house they own and never move from

3:37 am

moonwoof

She's a huge dog, in her mind, but in reality she weighs 10.7 lbs and insists that I include the .7

3:37 am

sprite

lol mrP... some do.

3:37 am

mrpresident

that is a little dog!!

3:38 am

sprite

still too big to outweight anything creeping around in my house, though.

3:38 am

moonwoof

I know, MrP. Most do, even. But the world seems to need people like me, too.

3:38 am

moonwoof

Yup. She's pretty small. But the scorpions are pretty big...

3:38 am

sprite

we do, woof. You are an inspiration.

3:38 am

mrpresident

oh, we are people of the gypsy... i believe we are about to book a trailer up the next suburb

3:38 am

moonwoof

I wish my paycheck reflected that LOL

3:38 am

Rasdan

heh, one of the words in this puzzle doesn't even have a dictionary.com definition :)

3:39 am

mrpresident

i wonder if we can hold a garage sale at a trailer park

3:39 am

sprite

lol Rasdan, that happens a lot. You might want to try infoplease.com or a site like that.

3:39 am

moonwoof

Oh I forgot... How was the cruise, MrP + Lickety?

3:40 am

mrpresident

never got booked. we haven't got a house to live in, ergo, we don't have the 'luxury' of a holiday

3:40 am

moonwoof

And if you need gypsy tips, I've got a lot of practice. Hence the bed without frame... they pack easier that way lol

3:40 am

sprite

your paychecks are probably a slip of the tongue, woof... from inspiration to inflation is but a small step...

3:40 am

moonwoof

Awww. I thought that's where you went for New Years..

3:40 am

o-o

The fun part of words without definitions is using them with the definition of your choosing to shocl and awe your listeners

3:40 am

moonwoof

Sadly true, sprite. It must be gas prices.

3:41 am

mrpresident

maybe new year 2009 LOL!! we have alot to do between now and that time

3:41 am

*grins wickedly at BabbleRabble*
the real fun is in them nodding and agreeing with you.

3:41 am

mrpresident

3:42 am

o-o

Yes, hahahaha, that too

3:42 am

Rasdan

3:42 am

Shockls and cockles isnt that in a song, somewhere?

3:42 am

sprite

mrP, hand me the shocl-ate and you will walk away from this alive.

3:43 am

moonwoof

3:43 am

3:44 am

herinfernallady

mrpresident

3:44 am

moonwoof

sleep well

4:55 am

sprite

wow, pain meds finally kicking in. I am relieved. Stupid things take about 90 minutes to even start working.

4:56 am

o-o

that is unacceptable

4:57 am

o-o

are the meds prescribed as needed? in otherwords may you take more if you need more?

4:57 am

sprite

went back to my doctor about them and she says we are a bit stuck with them. My body will not accept the stick on painkillers and the stuff that was reasonably working does not go with the antidep meds.

4:58 am

sprite

I have 50 mg oxycontin daily and I can take up to 8 paracetamol with it if I need it... but paracetamol does not do a lot of good, to be honest.

4:59 am

sprite

problem is, I feel I am getting hooked on the oxycontin. Used to last for about 14 hours, now it only lasts 10 to 11 hours and when it ends, I feel really sick. I have cut down to 40 mg already, don't want this stuff to rule my life.

4:59 am

o-o

Once again I think your doctor has the priorities wrong

5:00 am

o-o

there are many meds for depression why take one that inhibits pain mangagement?

5:01 am

sprite

I am going back to her this month and tell her that too. This is not working for me, and there must be other solutions.

5:01 am

o-o

the pain compounds the depression

5:02 am

sprite

I am not sure, BabbleRabble... though it was hell while waiting for the antidep to start working well, I am now really happy with it. Changing would mean starting all over again, wouldn't it?

5:02 am

sprite

yes, I agree, pain is a serious contributor to the feelings of depression and exhaustion.

5:02 am

o-o

yes

5:04 am

o-o

altho it will take some time to get to the market, there are some new meds that act directly on the area of the brain that needs attention bypassing the neurorecptors that delay relief

5:05 am

licketySplitAUS

sprite, what can't you take with anti depress meds?

5:05 am

sprite

that sounds good. It might be worth waiting for those and then change, BabbleRabble.

5:05 am

o-o

also, work is now being done on a depression pacemaker that seems to hold promise

5:05 am

it will be years, sprite

tramadol, lickety. Can cause serotonine syndrom.

hi everyone

5:08 am

carleekat

hi all

5:08 am

sprite

if the oxycontin would last 24 hours, like the tramadol did, I wouldnÂ´t have so many problems with it. But I cannot sleep when I take it in the evening, so somewhere in the night it stops working and then I cannot sleep from the pain. It is madness.
Well, thanks for being there for me while I was nagging. And for helping me think of better options!

5:08 am

sprite

hi ardilla, hi carlee.

5:10 am

mrpresident

how many grams you take?

5:10 am

sprite

5 x 10, mrP

5:10 am

mrpresident

100mg tramadol = 5mg morphine... very little use with sever pain

5:10 am

o-o

medications have a tendency to lose some viability over time as our body's adjust ... I have been to told to take something different on occasion but go back to what works. changing is frustrating but you should not have to choose between pain or depression or both

5:10 am

sprite

mg that is

5:11 am

sprite

I agree, Rabble. One of my good intentions for this new year is to have a serious talk with my doctor about the pain meds and antideps, and find some other solution.

5:12 am

o-o

How is the rehab for your arm going, mrp?

5:12 am

mrpresident

i take oxy and endone. I was on 420mg daily when i was in hospital, came home on 200mg and am down to 50mg. tramadol is absolutely useless for me. I will not take it

5:12 am

sprite

I know, mrP. But tramadol urges your body to make more endorphine itself, and it seems my body reacts very good to that.

5:12 am

sprite

what is endone=

5:12 am

mrpresident

do you react well with codeine?

5:12 am

mrpresident

endone is like oxy... quick reliease and 4 hourly

5:13 am

sprite

reasonably well, mrP, though it is a bit like paracetamol for me... doesn't do a lot of good. Just takes the worst edges off.

5:14 am

licketySplitAUS

tram can't be taken with tricylic antideps

5:14 am

sprite

I know, lickety, that is why I had to start using oxycontin, and I just don't like the stuff. Have the feeling it is not good for me.

5:17 am

mrpresident

i use oxy cause it is a short term (under 1 year) treatment for pain.... and it works well, but it isn't good for the emotional soul. it is essentially morphine and needs to be treated as such. very addictive, and must be slow to come off it or it hurts

5:17 am

sprite

thanks all, you have given me more ammo to use on my doctor. She is a good woman and a good doctor, so I know she will listen and help me find something better.

5:17 am

mrpresident

http://www.australianprescriber.com/ma
gazine/27/2/26/7/ have a little look at that article

5:17 am

sprite

I am to use it permanently, mrP. And I really feel it is not the right way to go.

5:17 am

o-o

I am quite a patient patient ... if after two weeks the med is not doing as advertised I tell the psychiatrist he/she can use ... give me something that works

5:18 am

sprite

I think I should learn from your example, Rabble. I am way too patient. Willing to try and hold on for months.

speak to your doc about endone too, it is very helpful

5:20 am

oh sorry, i thought you were prescribed that.

5:20 am

sprite

will do! Thanks!

5:20 am

sprite

oxycontin, (oxycodon), mrP.

5:21 am

mrpresident

yes, same but diff spelling here

5:22 am

sprite

it's basically morphine.

5:22 am

mrpresident

must be the drug name laws, they are diff in australia... mind you, we only recently got Advil approved here

5:22 am

o-o

when I am told something that is not working should work I simply say and I should be healthy and a millionaire but I am not

5:22 am

sprite

lol... good one, will use that too!

5:24 am

mrpresident

if you feel that the oxy is helping, try going for the endone instead... it is more helpful in the short term... ie, it takes 15 min to work

5:24 am

sprite

I wouldn't mind being a healthy millionnaire, btw

5:24 am

mrpresident

listen to miss druggie over here!! good lord!
I only care so sorry i am saying this.. will shut up now

5:25 am

mrP, that is oxycodone. Looked it up. Same thing. Does not work that fast for me, takes 90 minutes at least.

5:25 am

http://www.virtualpaincentre.com/drugs

so endone is oxycodone??

5:31 am

metaleather

now, on to the last three, all evil little A's

5:31 am

mrpresident

i only ask cause pain relief is diff for everyone. I do believe I have been given a good regime, even if it sounds silly to some people. I have been doing this for 8 years and have come off the drugs very successfully with my docs help.
It would seem you are on strong pain meds, but if they are messing with your head, address the antideps, your doc will be able to advise you if she is a good lady

5:32 am

sprite

I have all the As, meta. Should be able to help.

5:34 am

mrpresident

btw sprite, my inlaws did not come today. they decided to avoid rather than confront. am glad in a way cause i am so drained from the stress and pain. I don't believe I function normally under easy circumstances, so difficult ones certainly mess with me

5:34 am

sprite

it is messing with my sleep, not with my head. Also, I really feel it is not good for me. And I have learned to trust my body in this. I KNOW if a drug is damaging to me, I just feel it.

5:35 am

sprite

maybe it is good to have a longer period to recover, mrP. I hope they did not put it off though.

5:35 am

mrpresident

oh, that might explain me being awake at 5am every morning! perhaps since i reduced my meds, it has affected me too, again

5:36 am

metaleather

ty sprite... I'm going to get some more caffeine and see if that helps. if it doesn't, I'll come knockin'

5:36 am

sprite

that is probably related, indeed, mrP. Might be good to shift your schedule of intake over some time, so the waking will be around 7, not 5.

5:36 am

mrpresident

i would love to put it off till next xmas.
it is sad and I really hurt for lickety. I finally stood up to them about the way they treat him, and of course, I am the bad one

5:37 am

Passing a glass of brandy to sprite ..there there does that help?

7:08 am

seriously. It is a side effect of one of my meds. I think one word and say or write another. My family is having big laughs over it. I just told my kids I had enjoyed suffering with them. I meant to say 'read'. In dutch 'geleden' en 'gelezen'.

7:08 am

sprite

I have to say, it is funnier to others than to me.

7:09 am

sprite

hi pink

7:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Y'know, sprite, there are whole medical "syndromes" and "conditions" related to that phenomena, but since the doctors basically can't do anything except observe, there's kinda no point to getting it checked out.

7:10 am

pinkhatlil

i should have said afternoon everyone lol hung over!

7:10 am

sprite

since it is just a side effect, stopping the meds would cure it :)

7:10 am

sprite

caitlyn

8:42 am

Angelsong

hi, all. last night was fun. we went shopping for curtain rods for the patio door and my office. I bought white fabric shower curtains with liners, and we hung them on the patio doors...it looks really good, with no decrease in the light level. I also have a white fabric shower curtan in a floral print for my office. The thing I like about the fabric shower curtains is, they are inexpensive, very attractive, and get the job done until we can get "real" curtains.

8:42 am

shorty

lol what language is that?

8:42 am

8:43 am

weegee

angel, I do one better... on wide windows I make a plain valance and use plain old pipe for the curtain rod and hang the shower curtains with those need rolly hangers with the little slider balls so curtains just zip back& forth

9:22 am

pinkhatlil

pa words are a challenge

9:22 am

Denny

nut try getting some kitchen paper or brown paper and place ot over the offending patch and ironing it. the heat su[pposedly helps to lift out the oil which then makes it easier to wash

9:23 am

NonoNanette

i know we used to use to take motor grease out of dads work cloths years ago

9:24 am

gardnerpaints

Hello - I just looked it up the stuff that takes lipstick off clothes that have been in the dryer is LESTOIL

9:24 am

evanonut

i'll keep the ole eyes open next time i go out...
denny, i thought that was more for wax issues...but i suppose lipstick is mainly oil and wax isn't it?

9:24 am

evanonut

ok, nono and gardner win, lestoil it is, i won't pitch them yet

9:24 am

NonoNanette

iron may set the color factor in tho nut so be careful if you try that

9:25 am

NonoNanette

try a hardware store for the lestoil if you cant find at grocery

11:43 am

jesdraggon

i grew up puttering around in the woods on a horse

11:44 am

Uniquity

And you had better like the right team too. Your realistic options are Toronto or Montreal. My grandmother and I are Toronto, EVERYONE else in our family is Montreal.

11:44 am

hurshy

there are too many A's in this grid

11:44 am

jesdraggon

Hockey night in Canada is sacred to him...he can't even change during commercials

11:47 am

swmbo

I agree Uniquity. I have not the slightest interest in hockey, but I raised 2 sons so I was a hockey mom too

11:48 am

icepyro

I love to watch a game live, not much for TV or any particular teams

11:48 am

carleekat

that why I wrote that story... even tho was not into hockey...as a kid really... I am a hockey mum...

11:48 am

JBsAnno

Uniquity

I really liked hockey a lot until the year that wasn't. THat whole year without hockey put me off for good. Ever since I have been in semi-silent protest over the ridiculousness of the whole thing. I still love the Leafs but don't watch or follow at all

11:49 am

hurshy

could i have an AL6 clue?

11:49 am

swmbo

JBsAnno!!!

11:49 am

JBsAnno

Mamab, I was just thinking of you yesterday, wondering where ya been, (suduko, maybe?), whatcha doin

11:49 am

o-o

I have a case of cognative polyphasia about hockey

11:49 am

Uniquity

But...hockey night in canada theme...sends me back to childhood, and I have barely even left it!

11:50 am

carleekat

oh..hockey is SO much more fun to watch now that they changed the rules...

11:50 am

swmbo

I did enjoy reading Ken Dryden's The Game though

11:50 am

JBsAnno

LOL, Babble!

11:50 am

jesdraggon

i'd love too, hursh, but i'm missing that one too

11:50 am

JBsAnno

11:50 am

o-o

11:50 am

11:51 am

JBsAnno

carlee, what rules did they change?

11:51 am

mamabear

when you do, swmbo, please share....

11:51 am

carleekat

Then* swmbo

11:51 am

carleekat

11:51 am

hurshy

ty brabble

11:51 am

mamabear

cuzzi keys??? in the morning???? interesting concept

11:51 am

JBsAnno

and what were you humming, carlee?

11:52 am

carleekat

so you have a much more offensive game..and...if game ends at a tie...5 mins overtime...then goes to shoot out...

11:52 am

JBsAnno

Why not, mamabear? It's almost warm enough!!

11:52 am

swmbo

"The ability to hold conflicting ideas about the same thing is known in psychology as cognitive polyphasia."

11:52 am

o-o

how are things going, hurshy?

11:52 am

11:53 am

JBsAnno

I actually played hockey on a girl's team for a year, in NH. but I can't skate backwards and control the puck at the same time

11:53 am

JBsAnno

{{{hurshy}}}

11:54 am

11:54 am

icepyro

I cant skate backwards period unless u count falling on my behind and sliding backwards

11:54 am

JBsAnno

speaking of ring tones, my husband managed to get the whining connection sound (like getting onto AOL in the early years) as a ring tone for one of his geek friends.

11:55 am

swmbo

icepyro, I skate just like you!

11:55 am

pianokid88

LuvB... ph5/18 is ph6/30 minus last letter

4:17 pm

pianokid88

oops, not right, sorry!

4:17 pm

Haz1558

to5/14 is only fishy if you're into chemicals and things.

4:17 pm

Minveryork

to 5/14 is not a fish word. I've never head of it ruru.

4:18 pm

pianokid88

both ph5/18's are ph6,30 - last two letters + vowel

4:18 pm

icepyro

its a chemistry word

4:19 pm

icepyro

to5 = to + stick + sometimes vowel + stick

4:20 pm

rururocks

thanks Ice.. needed that one to move on

4:20 pm

Minveryork

to 5/14 word is to+stick letter plus sometimes vowel plus another stick letter rururocks.

4:20 pm

Haz1558

Why not just spell it out!

4:20 pm

icepyro

nw

4:21 pm

pianokid88

LuvB -- sorry, I totally missed what you were asking for... did you get the ph6,30 yet or do you need a clue?

4:21 pm

rururocks

109!

4:21 pm

Minveryork

Obviously rururocks needed the clue to move on Haz

4:21 pm

icepyro

haz... tell me a better clue and I will be happy to use it in the future

4:22 pm

Minveryork

Does that 109 mean that you finished grid rururocks

4:22 pm

Haz1558

Okay, try using the first three letters of the preceding to4/4 and adding the adverb ending, backwards. Or t plus contracted Mr Hardy, letters mixed up.

4:23 pm

Minveryork

I'll try to remember that one next time someone asks

4:23 pm

icepyro

ok :)

4:23 pm

mo

I am with you on this one Haz.

4:24 pm

Haz1558

I know it makes people work harder but there we are.

4:24 pm

mo

I agree.

4:25 pm

icepyro

I agree with hating to spell them out, but I could not think of any clues

4:25 pm

Haz1558

And if people are really stuck, there are things like a2z and morewords to help out.

4:25 pm

Minveryork

As I stated earlier,I need practice giving clues, but I do my best. I hope to one day be as good as the rest.

4:26 pm

Haz1558

I know, Minver. I just refuse to use spelling out letters.

4:28 pm

renfield

spelling is fun

4:28 pm

icepyro

If I can think of any clue at all that doesnt involve spelling, then I try... but that has been one of the toughter ones for me to clue today =\

4:28 pm

Minveryork

Hello renfield!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

4:28 pm

renfield

and i can;t believe it's time for scholls to start and all the peeps to go back to work - are we gonna have some cranky peeps tomorrow!

4:29 pm

renfield

hey min - how are you?

4:29 pm

joanne0334

ice i made that mistake once..we live and learn hun..it's ok

4:29 pm

joanne0334

ice i made that mistake once..we live and learn hun..it's ok

4:29 pm

renfield

is that dr scholls or schools?

4:30 pm

Haz1558

I know, I know, but that's part of the challenge of giving clues. I didn't mean to scold.

4:30 pm

Minveryork

It is not the first time I've been scolded for my clues.

4:31 pm

renfield

i try to look at the person asking for the clue

4:31 pm

Minveryork

I'm doing well renfield.I'm almost done.How about you

4:32 pm

joanne0334

lol and i always need the most help as most of the clues sound like u be speaking chinese to me lol

4:32 pm

renfield

i need a vacation min- still have performance reviews to do- arrrrgh

4:32 pm

renfield

hahaha jo!

4:33 pm

Haz1558

But do you ever make use of word lists like a2z? They are very helpful as well, joanne.

4:33 pm

joanne0334

funny but true ren and hi!!

4:33 pm

joanne0334

one left

4:34 pm

icepyro

that reminds me... as just a fun thing to do I think I will make a babble-specific wordlist webpage...

4:34 pm

renfield

and more owrds is great too jo

4:34 pm

renfield

oh wait - that words

4:34 pm

joanne0334

ohh chinese spelling to huh ren??

4:34 pm

Haz1558

I use morewords all the time as well.

4:35 pm

renfield

as you can tell - spelling is not my number one talent

4:35 pm

joanne0334

what word list..u mean lickety??

4:36 pm

renfield

http://www.morewords.com/wordsbylength here is the one we're talking about jo

4:36 pm

bbnaz

morewords........where do you find that Haz?

4:36 pm

Haz1558

No. There are websites available (www.a2zwordfinder.com or www.morewords.com) that give lists of words. They are really useful, especially if you use Lickety and know what the first two letters are.

4:36 pm

joanne0334

ohhh interesting

4:36 pm

Haz1558

If you have LIckety expert, you'll find them listed under Resources.

4:37 pm

renfield

they help for those stinky sticky ones

4:37 pm

joanne0334

so that's how some get done so fast??

4:37 pm

Haz1558

You thought we knew all these words?

4:37 pm

joanne0334

peeewww

4:37 pm

icepyro

Ive decided that to get done fast you just have to be good

4:37 pm

bbnaz

i think that those who get done so fast are just good at word games..........

4:37 pm

bbnaz

Yes indeed Haz, I DO believe that you know all these words!

4:37 pm

joanne0334

true too

4:38 pm

icepyro

Ive poored over word lists sometimes and it actually slows me down until i reach the ridiculously hard or words i have never heard of

4:38 pm

renfield

yes - i think they are too - they know how to spell and use the monkey theory

4:38 pm

Haz1558

Some get the grid done fast because they are geniuses. Others get the grid done fast because they use all resources. Guess which category I am in?

4:38 pm

rururocks

sometimes morewords gives too many options though haz

4:38 pm

joanne0334

i like the monkey theory!!

4:38 pm

bbnaz

a2z works best for me

4:38 pm

bbnaz

after the monkeys have given up the ghost that is....

4:38 pm

joanne0334

probably same as me haz hehe

4:38 pm

Haz1558

Morewords DOES give lots of options, but you get used to scanning through.

4:38 pm

rururocks

haz.. you are a genius who uses word lists.. lol

4:39 pm

bbnaz

although plenty of times the words are not in a2z

4:39 pm

bbnaz

ruru hit the nail on the head

4:39 pm

Haz1558

No genius - I just don't have the patience to sit endlessly trying permutations. I'd rather read through lists.

4:39 pm

icepyro

I have not seen a word not in a2z .. but then Ive only been around a week

4:39 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

4:39 pm

4:57 pm

joanne0334

4:57 pm

4:58 pm

joanne0334

bb u are to busy reminding me that confessional will be calling me !!! lol

4:59 pm

4:59 pm

icepyro

4:59 pm

bbnaz

4:59 pm

5:00 pm

bbnaz

5:00 pm

joanne0334

me too lol

5:00 pm

icepyro

5:05 pm

bbnaz

5:05 pm

icepyro

5:05 pm

Congratulations LadyNatts on your early finish. YAY!

6:23 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye mymuseisme! I'll see you tomorrow in the log

6:25 pm

Minveryork

Hello broll! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

6:26 pm

Uniquity

Hello Min! Does anyone ever welcome you to the grid? If not, I shall now! Welcome to the grid...

6:27 pm

Minveryork

Hello Uniquity! How are you? Thanks for the welcome!

6:28 pm

Uniquity

Late start on babble with lots to do. Watching a movie and finishing grid, then some readings for school, cleaning and preparing for first day back. Yourself?

6:29 pm

Minveryork

Wow!Talk about multi-tasking! I had an early start. I have been taking a VERY long time to finish this grid.

6:30 pm

Uniquity

As I am watching a movie as well, I am truly puttering through this grid. First break all day, and enjoying it. Weird words though! That yl had me stumped

6:31 pm

Minveryork

There are lots of non-words in puzzle today Uniquity.

6:32 pm

Uniquity

I agree, so far

6:34 pm

mhm

Hello, I'm a total newbie to this site. Can anyone please tell me how to decipher the tile stats? Word stats obvioiusly refer to numbers of words at specified length.

6:35 pm

Minveryork

Hello mhm!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

6:36 pm

Uniquity

The tile stats show you how many words start with that specific tile. The first of the two numbers represents the number of words you have, the second is the total.

6:36 pm

Uniquity

Helpful links to consider on first view of babble include help which is found above chat as well as angelsongs babble page found beneath tile stats in "friends of babble". Finally, welcome!! Enjoy, it's addictive :)

6:36 pm

mhm

Thanks so much. Appreciate the help. I've only got 20 words so far! Long way to go.

6:38 pm

mhm

I used to play this game in "real" life, but it was called Boggle. Great game. We used to race the other players to get as many unique words as possible in 3 minutes.

6:39 pm

Minveryork

Do play WEBOGGLE mhm? I play that game everyday.

6:39 pm

Uniquity

Exactly! This is "the wordgame superchild of scrabble and boggle", lol. I adore it...a nice chance to play when there are no live people around, with 24 hours to work on each grid

6:39 pm

mhm

Yes, it is addictive. And I should be defrosting the freezer!

6:40 pm

Uniquity

I should be reading for school, cleaning my apt. and preparing for school! Babble always comes first though, heh!

6:41 pm

BettyAnne

ch6/24 anyone please?

6:41 pm

Minveryork

Should be cleaning my house&getting ready for work.

6:42 pm

6:44 pm

Minveryork

I am on website. It was working before, but not now.

6:46 pm

Uniquity

Perhaps a refresh of the page?

6:46 pm

Minveryork

I was just curious to see what BettyAnne's icon was.

6:47 pm

BettyAnne

It's a picture from Holland that my kids took last April. I love it so I keep it on there, Min.

6:47 pm

Uniquity

It is beautiful Betty...

6:48 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks Uni.

6:49 pm

Minveryork

I refreshed and it still does not work. Oh well.I guess I'll have to see your icon a different time BettyAnne.

6:50 pm

BettyAnne

O.K. It'll be there for a while. Thanks for the interest.

6:51 pm

Minveryork

7:21 pm

mrpresident

hello everyone

7:21 pm

EvaNadine

sis-in-law is doing well.
she has some names in mind, but isnt sharing most of them...heh...
shes supposed to be released tomorrow from the hospital, so the baby will have to have a name by then!
hehe

7:22 pm

EvaNadine

MrP!
evening, gorgeous! (or mornin, for you!)
how goes it?

7:22 pm

Uniquity

I always thought they could release babies without names? They had a few weeks? And doesn't your brother get a vote? :) Hey Mr P!!

7:22 pm

mrpresident

is a nice lunch time here :)

7:23 pm

mrpresident

you can wait 4 weeks to name a child.

7:23 pm

EvaNadine

i think the law here is that they need a name for the birth certificate + that must be filled out before the baby goes home

7:23 pm

EvaNadine

and my brother doesnt get much of a say since this one is a girl...heh...he got to pick first names for the boys. :)

7:23 pm

Minveryork

Hello mrpresident! How are you? Welcome to the grid

7:23 pm

Uniquity

Have your family problems smoothed over yet Mr P? I didn't get a chance to say the other day, but it sounded like quite a muddle of anger

7:24 pm

Minveryork

Hello EvaNadine!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

7:24 pm

mrpresident

our friends had a baby and he was released with the name 'baby'. they then changed it when they decided on his name

coolits

8:46 pm

coolits

im getting hard to find unfamiliar englsh word in this grid

8:47 pm

lbdawger

you might want to try monkeying around with the ph sequence. ph plus a vowel or sometimes vowel then play around with other letters around those.

8:47 pm

coolits

im trying

8:47 pm

lbdawger

one ph5 sounds like what you put reports and records in a type of cabinet

8:48 pm

coolits

tnx

8:49 pm

lbdawger

change that last vowel to the first vowel and you have the other ph5

8:50 pm

lbdawger

drop the last vowel double the consonant and add the 4th vowel

8:51 pm

coolits

im trying to figure it out

8:53 pm

phandmd

well, I guess I was wrong about that W then! Thnx so much

8:53 pm

lbdawger

coolits, let me rephrase that last clue for you. drop the last letter and double the consonant then add the letter that comes AFTER N...this will give you the ph6

8:53 pm

lbdawger

yw, Phan

8:55 pm

pam

don't understand the ha clue--is is for a 6 that rhymes with not deep?

8:56 pm

lbdawger

i had the best and most awkward kiss of my life outside Dolce y Freddo

10:35 pm

Ping

LOL

10:35 pm

Ping

10:35 pm

10:36 pm

shdybr8

10:37 pm

shdybr8

there was a little bar across the street, clientele 50+, at 17 i was a regular...rosemary ran the place, her boyfriend eddie was a west u cop

10:38 pm

Ping

sounds like the beginning of a novel

10:38 pm

shdybr8

that was back when west u still had houses that weren't 3000 s.f. of red brick!!!

10:39 pm

shdybr8

the name of the novel was to be "All Names Have Been Changed"

10:39 pm

Ping

10:40 pm

Ping

10:40 pm

shdybr8

little too busy with math and life these days!

10:41 pm

Ping

10:42 pm

Ping

some day maybe?

10:42 pm

shdybr8

back then i had a lesbian roommate in a 1 bedroom apartment...my big sis, i was the token straight girl, hanging out with rock bands at the axiom and such places

10:43 pm

shdybr8

maybe, ping, someday i'll make the time

10:44 pm

Ping

is she still here?

10:44 pm

10:45 pm

shdybr8

i'm still very good friends with the guy I dated back then, he still lives in the montrose area

10:45 pm

shdybr8

no, ping, who is that?

10:45 pm

Ping

it's a loosely organized program in which people write an entire novel (50,000 words) in a month

10:46 pm

Ping

i think maybe they do it in the fall but i'm not sure

10:46 pm

Ping

you could google it - stands for national novel writing month

10:46 pm

shdybr8

sounds great, but school starts next Monday, and I work full time and will take 2 grad level math classes (busy)

10:46 pm

Ping

Ping

10:47 pm

shdybr8

10:48 pm

Ping

10:49 pm

shdybr8

10:51 pm

Ping

no - i just meant we went to the same program (meaning the same parties, mostly)

10:52 pm

shdybr8

sounds fun, i was a kid on the outer edge

10:54 pm

Ping

creative writing programs are made up of 100% outer edge kids, let me assure you!

Ping

hi blue

10:58 pm

shdybr8

yes, at that time he was recently divorced from a french woman, and new to teaching

10:59 pm

shdybr8

11:00 pm

Ping

he'd be a fun character

11:01 pm

11:02 pm

11:06 pm

Ping

it would be hard to describe how he talks

11:06 pm

stidmama

I can help clue if needed too -- finished a while ago

11:06 pm

shdybr8

11:06 pm

Ping

11:06 pm

shdybr8

11:06 pm

Ping

i don't think they here now, stid

11:07 pm

stidmama

I am SO glad I stopped at the B.A. and didn't go on to grad school... (yet) LOL

11:07 pm

coolits

hi ping

11:07 pm

shdybr8

still time, stid.....

11:07 pm

Ping

LOL - be careful, stid

11:07 pm

stidmama

yes, I suppose it's still pretty early in the morning over there.

11:08 pm

Ping

i meant the phd!

11:09 pm

shdybr8

although i am not looking forward to next week, 2 grad level math classes, 5 days a week, eeeekk!

11:09 pm

Ping

will you be teaching this spring, stid?

11:09 pm

stidmama

rofl... *blush* of course! and pigs may yet fly! LOL

11:09 pm

shdybr8

means i have to go to work every day till May....I usually work from home as often as possible!

11:09 pm

stidmama

I am still helping mother, yes. I don't have a teaching credential (though am considering it as intermediate phase to grad school)

11:10 pm

stidmama

oh geez shady! I remember when riemann was in the middle of all that. *yuck face* he was NO FUN during quarters!

11:10 pm

shdybr8

stid's going to grad school....stid's going to grad school.....

11:11 pm

jonnyl32

no worries, grad school is fun

11:11 pm

stidmama

rofl... not seeing the piggies in the air yet shady...

11:11 pm

shdybr8

***bats down flying pig

11:12 pm

stidmama

what is your grad status jonny?

11:12 pm

jonnyl32

i have one semester left... MBA

11:13 pm

stidmama

ah! I have known a few people who do that one. Not for me -- too much "managerial" stuff.

11:13 pm

shdybr8

go jonny!

11:13 pm

shdybr8

go stid!

11:13 pm

stidmama

but the people I know who pursue it are very impressive!

11:14 pm

jonnyl32

yeah, it's very boring to learn, but to me, it seems easier than undergrad... all the stuff just kind of builds off what i learned then

11:14 pm

Ping

flying pig = good metaphor for a phd (full disclosure: i have a phd)

11:14 pm

shdybr8

hey ping, tell Rob I said hi, and apologize for last time

11:14 pm

stidmama

that makes sense. I think it must be nice to have a real sense of direction. I never did. Took another 20 years after the bachelor's to realize I should study the things I just read about anyway! LOL

11:15 pm

jonnyl32

yeah, i still don't really have a direction, but the mba gives me lots of options

11:16 pm

shdybr8

stid i talk to my friends from undergrad, all chemistry grad students now, they are amazed i made such a change

11:16 pm

stidmama

one of my friends calls her phd a "phud" -- chose a field she likes "okay" because it was paid for, but now lives where there are no jobs in it!

11:17 pm

shdybr8

my long-term goal is consulting....wearing pj's, never leaving my house (or rarely)

11:17 pm

jonnyl32

that's a great goal

11:17 pm

stidmama

another friend with a phd spent all her time on the degree and making her way in the field afterward... but missed out on the family. It's such a delicate balance.

11:17 pm

stidmama

I like that idea, shady!

11:17 pm

Ping
