I'm a bit sick monkey! Nasty cough and chest. First time in 20 years I haven't been out on queen's day

4:09 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear. I hope you feel better soon!

4:09 am

ConXshun

Did you have fun in Haarlem moneky?

4:09 am

MonkeyGames

My husband just had that for a week and still has residuals. Sure is going around.

4:09 am

ConXshun

Thanks - I'm working on it!

4:10 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, we went out to sell some of Walter's stuff he doesn't want anymore.

4:11 am

MonkeyGames

e ended up selling a number of things (the rest will be at the kringloopwinkel soon) and got some nice stuff for Walter and a great tie-dyed old soft t-shirt for me. Ended up only 3 Euros down for the day.

4:11 am

ConXshun

ah! great! and did Walter also buy lots more stuff to fill up the gaps at home?

4:11 am

ConXshun

yay for queen's day trade!

4:12 am

MonkeyGames

We got Walter some Megabloks and a great handmade set of little shelves and drawers fro his toy corner.

4:13 am

MonkeyGames

Clues for the ta5 and 6?

4:13 am

ConXshun

So Walter's all set for the coming year!

4:14 am

ConXshun

ta 6 and 5 - past and 3rd person tense of ta 4?

4:14 am

MonkeyGames

Yup, except that he keeps growing out of things. First he did those simple piece fits in hole puzzles. Then the more complicated ones. Then simple jigsaws. Now complicated jigsaws. Soon, REALLY complicated ones. It's going like that with everything.

4:15 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks for the clue.

4:15 am

Roweboat

4:15 am

Roweboat

sorry

4:16 am

ConXshun

Jumbo do some great puzzles where you get to see a picture of someone looking at something and the jigsaw is the picture of what they're looking at! THat should last him a few years!!

4:17 am

MonkeyGames

I'll keep an eye out for those. Teh biggest one he can do himself right now has 30 pieces.

4:17 am

MonkeyGames

What's a sarnie?

4:31 am

herinfernallady

sandwhich

4:31 am

MonkeyGames

And I should eat soon too. Walter wanted to spend a very long time out in the woods while we were walking the dog. Hungry.

4:31 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Herin! I learn more slang here...

4:31 am

Sini74

Monkey one st5 think Greek and porticos

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Thats ok

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Monkey you should take food next time

4:32 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, thanks, Sini! Had the singular, completely forgot to expland.

4:33 am

MonkeyGames

Herin, yes we should. Usually though we just run down there and back but it's a nice day and we ended up being out there for 2 hours. Should have taken food. Walter had already eaten, but not me.

4:33 am

MonkeyGames

Plus we had some Diego cookies for him, but I'm dieting and can't ahve cookies.

4:34 am

MonkeyGames

Expland??? Sigh.

4:35 am

pinkhatlil

hello to those i missed!

4:35 am

MonkeyGames

Walter wanted to go peacock hunting, but he was nowhere to be found this morning.

4:35 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Lil!

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Peacock Hunting?

4:37 am

MonkeyGames

There's a peacock that hangs out in the woods here sometimes, usually up in this one tree. I did warn Walter that we couldn't hear him. This is a very vocal peacock; usually if you don't hear him he's not there.

4:37 am

MonkeyGames

Yesterday, though, we came upon the other one in the area, hanging out on someone's low wall by the street. Walter threw him some rice crackers.

4:38 am

pinkhatlil

Hi monkey games long time no see, hows you?

4:38 am

MonkeyGames

We're good! Husband with flu, but who doesn't have it? I had it a couple weeks ago. Sprained toe doing OK, Walter just great. He found his first four-leaf clover today.

4:39 am

MonkeyGames

How are you?

4:39 am

herinfernallady

i wonder were he goes

4:40 am

pinkhatlil

we are fine over here life is pretty good at the mo, i cant complain

4:40 am

MonkeyGames

Who, the peacock? The closer one goes into the visitor's area at the nature preserve across the road and hangs out with the chickens. The farther peacock frequents a restaurant over there, and hangs out on a farm.

4:41 am

pinkhatlil

did Walter celotape the clover to a piece of paper? we would do that ocver here when we found one, like when are on field trips

4:42 am

MonkeyGames

I'm pressing it in my wallet, then I decided it's the perfect excuse for Walter to start a scrap book. It'll go in there.

4:42 am

ConXshun

anybody have the first ou5 please?

4:43 am

MonkeyGames

I'm really impressed he found it. I was showing him how to look for them last year, but he's only 3 1/2. Today he was running across the dog field and just screeched to a halt, pointed down, and said, "That one has four leaves!"

4:43 am

MonkeyGames

Still looking for it, conX. Sorry!

4:44 am

pinkhatlil

i loved doing things like that. we would normally go to the marshes for things like that, but since the olympics is being built on the land its tricky to do anything like that now, its a shame really

4:45 am

herinfernallady

my pc is being lamn

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Oh MOnkey that is very cool

4:45 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear, it sure is! When we had to move a year ago we lucked out and found the only rental in this area. We are surrounded by very nice free-standing houses with gardens, woods for the dog at the end of the road, a nature preserve just over thataway, and huge wild parks all over.

4:45 am

ConXshun

:) found it! it's a compound word

4:46 am

MonkeyGames

Ah! Looking...

4:46 am

ConXshun

where abouts in Haarlem are you Monkey?

4:46 am

girlie

hi everyone

4:46 am

MonkeyGames

Ramplaankwartier.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Hi Girlie.

4:46 am

ConXshun

hiya girlie

4:46 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Girlie!

4:47 am

ConXshun

aha! near elswout? Beautiful area!!!

4:47 am

girlie

thought I might flush my sister out of lurking with that, but it appears she is actually studying :O

4:47 am

MonkeyGames

So we have Elswout and the Kennemerduinen and the Visserspad and Brouwerskolk and Koningshof, all just right here.

4:47 am

herinfernallady

I am having a der day

4:47 am

MonkeyGames

es, I can see Elswout from the bedroom window.

4:47 am

MonkeyGames

What's a der day?

4:47 am

pinkhatlil

how lovely is that, all that green preserved space. it must be so peaceful and relaxing. the marshes was the only free open green space we had, other than parks

4:48 am

ConXshun

Visserspad I don't know - is that the middenduin on the same road as Koningshof and Kraantje lek? and wow! what a fantastic view you have!!

4:48 am

MonkeyGames

It's really nice. Right now the bulb fields atthe end of the road are in full bloom, too.

4:50 am

MonkeyGames

Yes. And teh Visserspad is what the fishwives used in the old days to carry the fish from Zandvoort to Haarlem vcenter. They'd stop and wash their feet at a small inn that is now a pub, two blocks from me, called het Stinkende Emmer. For obvious reasons. Also called het Wapen van Kennemerland, but everyone calls it Stinkende Emmer. The Visserspad starts nowadays at Kraantje Lek.

4:50 am

pinkhatlil

hayfever must be a killer in spring/summer though

4:50 am

MonkeyGames

It's a nice walk to Zandvoort along it, or Bloemendaal aan Zee.

4:51 am

MonkeyGames

Myusual view is the backs of houses, but from upstairs we can see past them to Elswout, but it just looks like a wall of trees from here.

4:51 am

MonkeyGames

Hay fever seems to be behaving ityself so far...

4:51 am

ConXshun

I know the pub! I'll have to try the walk one day - when the lungs are better.

4:51 am

ConXshun

ooh fireworks!

4:52 am

ConXshun

Sounds like you've landed yourself a bit of jewel place to live Monkey!

4:52 am

MonkeyGames

Do! Let's make a day of it! 7 km to Zandvoort, or 11 to Bloemendaal aan Zee. Bus 81 back.

4:52 am

MonkeyGames

Congrats!

4:53 am

ConXshun

Now there's an idea..... and thanks.

4:53 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, we did luck out. Our landlady at the old place was actually psychiotic; broke all the windows, her husband attacked me and Walter, etc. We had to find somewhere. Even looked at Waarderpolder and teh bad side of Ijmuiden. Then this turned up. They got 400 e-mails and picked us.

4:54 am

Molly72

Need help for sa 7/32 and 8/45

4:54 am

MonkeyGames

As for making a day of it, if you do feel like doing it without the company of a total stranger I won't be offended, so don't feel obligated to get in touch. But i;'d be fun, I think.

4:54 am

ConXshun

wow! that's a great story. I'm even more convinced now that we're all looked after and we all get what we need.

4:55 am

MonkeyGames

sa7; thinking of how to clue

4:55 am

MonkeyGames

First 4 letters from the cooking ones, plus abbat**** -- place they kill animals

4:55 am

ConXshun

Well, monkey, one doesn't have to rule out the other.... I could do it first myself and then we could have go together....

4:55 am

pinkhatlil

s + another word for car + knights title without the s

4:55 am

MonkeyGames

And plural.

4:56 am

pinkhatlil

then plural

4:56 am

MonkeyGames

That's what I mean. If you go alone, I just won't get all upset and say, "Why didn't you e-mail me?"

4:56 am

ConXshun

how can I get in touch, monkey, if I'd like to go with you?

4:57 am

MonkeyGames

k.m.cooper@chello.nl

4:58 am

ConXshun

OK! probably be during the holidays.... I'll email you. and we can see what happens.

4:58 am

MonkeyGames

Cool!

4:58 am

MonkeyGames

Clue for ha5?

4:59 am

MonkeyGames

Never mind, it's a plural of a 4.

4:59 am

pinkhatlil

ha + high scoring tile + vowel then plural

4:59 am

ConXshun

pl of ha 4 - sounds like a sneeze!

4:59 am

ConXshun

(well a sneeze in dutch anyway.....)

4:59 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks folks, but I just monkeyed it.

5:00 am

ConXshun

well, I'm off for something to eat. See you all later!

5:00 am

MonkeyGames

Hee, hee. Yeah, I always forget and try Dutch words, while we're on the subject. Then sometimes they work.

5:01 am

pinkhatlil

5:01 am

ConXshun

5:01 am

MonkeyGames

5:08 am

herinfernallady

KRISTA. HI how is bump? I thought you would have popped now and emma is such a darling

5:08 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, THAT vowel! Thank you and hi!

5:09 am

MonkeyGames

Molly, sorry, have no d6's yet.

5:09 am

KristineNas

the Da is past past tense of the da4 above it and da5 below it

5:10 am

KristineNas

The bump is getting ready , still 26 days to go , He/She is dropping rapidly and the Braxton Hicks have started up again

5:11 am

herinfernallady

wow. I thought you would have popped by now. I saw a pic of baby Emma and she is sooooooo tiny. How is you going?

5:12 am

KristineNas

She is tiny , but twice, almost 3 times the size from birth , she is gorgeous though. I'm so tired and can barely sit up straight anymore from the pressure of the baby dropping , but I haven't had my burst of energy yet , so I think I still have a couple weeks to go

5:13 am

herinfernallady

ecks. Krista i can't imagine how hard that must be for you. Also i can't believe that Emma was the size of a small bag of flour.

5:13 am

MonkeyGames

Hang in there!

5:14 am

MonkeyGames

KristineNas

Scrabbler

Mary had to return to the hospital last evening, when I was at her home visiting and playing with the kids. She had acute pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding---chemo caused issues.

6:14 am

NonoNanette

congrats Angel!

6:15 am

herinfernallady

OH Scrabbler is she going to be ok?

6:15 am

hurshy

oh dear :(

6:15 am

Scrabbler

**doing a happy dance of optimism for Hurshy**

6:15 am

carleekat

will she be alright tho scrabs?

6:15 am

MonkeyGames

Oh dear. My thoughts are with her.

6:15 am

NonoNanette

sorry about your friend Scrabbler, I know it has been very rough for her

6:16 am

MonkeyGames

BRB, have to check on lunch.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it was scary, as she is not supposed to have a period with chemo effects, so she had a sonogram and a CT, and pain meds, and is admitted for pain meds and antibiotics to treat a cervicitis. Hubby came home soon after things started. I helped with bedtime for the kids.

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear I will keep her in my thoughts. Bless her and here family

6:17 am

hurshy

sc, i got a rather bad cut/scrape yesterday afternoon, and though the bleeding has slowed greatly, it's not stopped. bandaid keeps it under control, but when i took a peep, it was still oozing (it was gushing at first). can i deal with this with bandaids or do i have to go to a doc, do you think?

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Mary was crying, "I don't want to leave my kids, don't make me go." Her mom got upset. It was quite emotional. The kids were scurried off to the basement playroom. But Mary should be home in a few days.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Where is the injury, Hursh?

6:19 am

hurshy

finger

6:19 am

carleekat

( I'm no dr...but I know a doc who in a pinch ( she is young..jus graduated ) who used crazy glue to seal a bad glass cut to the bottom of a foot )

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I use super glue on those split areas on my fingers in the winter when my skin gets dry and cracked.

6:20 am

LoriP

Scrabbler, certainly makes anything else seem shllow at best, doesn't it. Considering what mary has been through, and yet faces. As always, good things from my home to hers.

6:20 am

movieman

hiya everyone

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Can't you buy medical superglue?

6:20 am

herinfernallady

HI monie

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Sutures cannot be done on a wound > 8 hrs old as the wound becomes colonized with bacteria. Keep pressure on it, and ice/cold, and keep it elevated. I did that to my thumb once, when cutting a bagel in half.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi MM

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Ewwwww Scrabler that is gross.

6:21 am

JBV

scrabbler, my best wishes also for friend and for you for helping her out - the medical situation is bad enough but taking care of the young children through all of that must be really hard

6:21 am

hurshy

it wouldn't really be suturable anyway, i don't think. thanks.

6:22 am

hurshy

Hey LoriP, how's it going?

6:22 am

movieman

the 7 and the 8 plz

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Medical super glue is called Dermabond, at least in the US. We use it on kids a lot, for lacerations. It is a great product and the kid avoids the trauma of sutures.

6:23 am

hurshy

should i try that?

6:23 am

herinfernallady

I knew there was a medical glue

6:23 am

Scrabbler

TY, JBV. It is scary when medical treatment can cause adverse effects that can endanger a patient's life as much as the cancer.

6:23 am

Scrabbler

It is not OTC, hursh.

6:24 am

JBV

very true, and I have seen it unfortunately with my own husband - cured the cancer but left him with ongoing "issues"

6:24 am

hurshy

well, if i went to a doctor, would they put it on me?

6:24 am

hurshy

or is it same as sutures re: baceria?

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Hursh, use a tight pressure bandage. My thumb bled easily for days whenever I unwrapped it.

6:24 am

movieman

the 7 and the 8 plz

6:25 am

hurshy

ok, will do

6:25 am

Scrabbler

No, Hursh, you cannot close up and "old" wound--you would trap bacteria inside and risk infection. So, keep it under pressure, clean, and watch for infection.

6:26 am

hurshy

suppose i should get some antiseptic cream

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Get some Polysporin and apply it 3 times daily.

6:27 am

MonkeyGames

Back again. I see we're bugging Scrabbler for medical info. OK, I'm game: should my toe I sprained 8 days ago be swelling up again? It is not purple anymore. I have not been able to be resting it.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, I have to get ready. I am going to the Tumor Board mtg at the children's hospital where Ben's case will be presented and discussed.

6:28 am

movieman

the 7 and the 8 plz

6:28 am

hurshy

*good thoughts for ben*

6:28 am

MonkeyGames

Oh! Ignore me, then. Good lucjk and a good day to you!

6:28 am

Scrabbler

It might swell with extended standing or use, especially by the end of the day, MG.

6:28 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! Thought so, good to have someone to bounce it off though.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I didn't ignore you, haha. Bye now.

6:29 am

MonkeyGames

The 7 and 8: first 4 letters of the cooking terms, + abba**** and plural.

6:29 am

movieman

I'm being ignored though

6:29 am

JBV

bye scrabbler = have a good day

6:29 am

JBV

6:29 am

MonkeyGames

6:34 am

JBV

6:35 am

8:58 am

Scarlet

SWEEP??

8:59 am

Haz1558

Oh, don't worry, I have it captured for posterity.

11:00 am

Haz1558

Things are looking up. It sounds as though both bathrooms are being vacated. My bladder control may not have to be under trial for too much longer.

11:00 am

phaeton

Posterity and posterior are so close in words....;-

11:00 am

Haz1558

Now I know how Spangle feels on Halloween night when she doesn't consider it safe to venture out.

11:01 am

FMitch

I wondered why you were jigging about, I just put it down the excitement or old age?

11:01 am

Haz1558

Pelvic floor muscle exercises haven't been wasted!

11:01 am

Vicuna

It reminds me of my best friend in junior high. She took the paperback cover of a copy of Gone with the Wind, cut out Vivian Leigh, and stuck her own 13 year old school portrait, grinning out at the viewer...

11:02 am

Vicuna

in the arms of Clark Gable.

11:02 am

Haz1558

So glad she chose to be Scarlett rather than Rhett.

11:02 am

Haz1558

THAT would have looked odd!

11:02 am

FMitch

Oh now that would be a good one to have as a theme

11:03 am

Vicuna

11:54 am

caitlyn

Handing Eva a bacon sandwich.......Hi all

11:55 am

EvaNadine

hey, hiya caitlyn...surprisingly, bacon is the one thing i DONT really enjoy...
i usually do ham, sausage, or canadian bacon...

11:56 am

EvaNadine

i think the salad did it for me...
im usually a Ranch dressing girl, but today i grabbed light french, so it calmed my craving for something sweet...
and i also tossed a little tuna on there for something healthy + filling...

11:56 am

caitlyn

Its funny how we have hungry days.....Probably change of season.....or are we going to have a new babbler?

1:13 pm

fruittart

hi all! Annie, I read about your counter top. Often when you replace a counter, depending on how the last one was installed, you end up needing to replace the cabinets too. There are ways to adhere new laminate on top of old counter.

1:13 pm

FMitch

and if thats the case Im on the next plane over!

MLFAN17

okay jes i give up can you clue it please

That's encouraging that you don't have to rely on just one salary, saph.

3:14 pm

saphyre

I am certified in Microsoft but don't want the 3 hour commute that I had for 8 years - especially with the price of gas now

3:14 pm

3:15 pm

Scarlet

That's not even worth it, saph.

3:16 pm

Scarlet

Maybe this was meant to be a time of contemplation and consideration of your future... maybe rest a bit before plunging back into the job market.

3:16 pm

8:45 pm

8:45 pm

Jindigo

8:47 pm

Jindigo

8:48 pm

danf63

sa8 is plural of sa7

8:48 pm

pam

Oh, I thought H was that guy, not your friend. I can be an idiot

8:48 pm

hurshy

8:48 pm

chalkncheese

8:48 pm

pam

I asked jiili, jin and she said hear, hear... I am so confused

8:48 pm

redturtlehead

8:49 pm

redturtlehead

Here here? where here?

8:49 pm

hurshy

now that i think about it i don't know which it is

8:49 pm

pam

look, red, i am the LAST person to think that's strange, my two oldet friends are guys, one gay, straight

8:49 pm

danf63

sa7 is sa5 (way to cook something) - last letter + circle + first 2 letters of a Will Smith action movie based on Ray Bradburys book about robots

8:49 pm

Jindigo

shes right - i am recalling a chog where i was corrected on the same thing. In fact i was agreeing with Hursch on something

8:50 pm

pam

http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mh
ear.html

8:50 pm

danf63

(that's a LOT of clue right there!)

8:50 pm

pam

that link was for hear, hear...

8:50 pm

hurshy

Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear ye, or hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour. This is how it is still used today, although one can always vary one's tone to express different sentiments; the Oxford English Dictionary noted around the turn of the century that the phrase is now the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, acquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. It is often incorrectly spelled "here here".

8:50 pm

hurshy

(wiki)

8:51 pm

pam

don't know that movie, tor...

8:51 pm

Jindigo

which is what i did and was rightly corrected for (i learn something everyday)

8:51 pm

hurshy

except of course in the valley of sound, where it's "hear here"

8:52 pm

redturtlehead

i do hope she meets my expectations though...lol.

8:52 pm

pam

LOLOLOL, red... thanks for being so nice about that gaffe

hurshy

8:54 pm

redturtlehead

its ok....I have to say, I'm very very close to her and occasionally catch myself chiping along about her as if she was a boyfriend, so it probably wasn't that much of a gaffe...

9:07 pm

torgone

Jacula

I've been watching the first series of 'Dexter' here in UK. I'm up to 4 out of 12 but I know who the Ice Truck Killer is because a net site I visited to check out Jeff Lindsay's books had a spoiler in it. GRRR! I bought the first two of the 4 books today. It seems they are darker than the TV series.

Jacula

Hi Pida.

9:30 pm

pida 1

Finally finished, and that ri was my last one. Took a lot of monkey typing

9:30 pm

hurshy

oh get this - an african-american state rep is trying to get "the state of rhode island and providence plantations" (smallest state, longest name) reduced to "the state of rhode island", because "plantations" makes him think of slavery. even though, of course, the state name does not relate at all. it will cost $350,000 if he succeeds in getting it put on the ballot for the fall, because it will mean adding a second page or something.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Well done, pida.

9:31 pm

torgone

Just another attention addict looking for something to get offended at ..

9:32 pm

Jacula

A fool and his money are soon parted, as the saying goes, Hursh.

9:32 pm

hurshy

and who knows how much it will cost changing it on all official documents if it did pass...

9:32 pm

torgone

Problem is, Jac he's the fool and it's our money ..

9:32 pm

hurshy

that is worrisome, jac, as RI is particularly full of fools

9:33 pm

hurshy

he said the stone blocks in the statehouse don't have to be recarved, though. so that's something.

9:35 pm

torgone

What's he doing to lessen poverty? or homelessness? or the price of gas? or ..

9:35 pm

Jacula

How do these Rhode Island fools cost the state?

9:35 pm

chalkncheese

whats the sr plz?

9:36 pm

it's a little thing we call "taxes"

9:43 pm

Jacula

hursh - no one ever does 'the sensible thing' in TV and film scenarios, or else there'd be nothing to watch. If the woman in the haunted/zombie ridden house ran straight out of the door at the start instead of going down to the cellar or up to the attic , usingly only a failing torch or a flickering candle to light her way.... need I say more?

9:43 pm
