1:37 am

westford

gn flosey sleep all the way through

1:37 am

jillibus

Those idiots should be charged for being rescued -- if they make it

1:37 am

loredana

Hi dc s Hugs for you yes i agree about being silly not drowning though

1:37 am

sprite

now that makes sense to me, jilli

1:37 am

rururocks

there is alwasy some dumba** that stays around. This storm they said certain death... holy cow.. time to leave

1:37 am

dcseain

well, i got back from opening night about an hour ago - a few of us hit a pub after.

1:37 am

sprite

harpjane: just not updated, I think.

1:37 am

jillibus

how did it go, dc?

1:38 am

jillibus

the opening night, I mean, not the pub, lol

1:38 am

sprite

ah... I see, seain... things are more black-and-white then.

1:38 am

dcseain

smashingly well, jilli

1:38 am

meliae

what makes me the maddest is they dont think about the lives they risk of the people who have to resuce them the coast guard police etc

1:38 am

sprite

very true, mel.

1:38 am

dcseain

no, sprite, i truly believe that people deserve what they get in circumstances like that.

1:38 am

dcseain

so true that, mel

1:39 am

jillibus

indeed, mel

1:39 am

sprite

hm, I don't. I think people live to learn, and once they die, they cannot learn from it and do better. So I'd rather see them live with the consequences.

1:39 am

westford

true meli

1:39 am

loredana

so true Mel and some have been known to come to grief do you think maybe human nature some people just dont believe its going to happen?

1:39 am

meliae

they should get a big fat bill for the rescus in my opinion

1:40 am

Blue Lily

Can someone tell me how many words for this puzzle please?

1:40 am

rururocks

that is called reproductive selection sprite

1:40 am

dcseain

actually, TX is fining them $2000 each if they were rescued

1:40 am

westford

I can't imagine why it wasn't mandatory to evacuate

1:40 am

sprite

some people cannot believe it. Some people are unable to accept rapid change, like having to leave home and everything in it.

1:40 am

jillibus

I saw one guy on TV yesterday who said he wasn't leaving because of the traffic tie-ups

1:40 am

westford

116 blue

1:40 am

meliae

what about the children of those idiots that stay behind? what are those people thinking? sure risk your dumb ass but dont risks others

1:40 am

loredana

blue there are 116

1:40 am

jillibus

oh, that's good, dc

1:40 am

Blue Lily

Thanks Wesford :)

1:41 am

westford

yw

1:41 am

meliae

wonderful DC thats great

1:41 am

dcseain

agreed, mel, risking others, especially the young/old and/or helpless, is ...hm... unforgivable.

1:41 am

sprite

ruru, then this site is for you:

1:41 am

rururocks

** passes on redneck jokes ***

1:41 am

dcseain

yes, jilli, i agree the fine is a good thing. charge them for the rescue, reduces the likelihood of them doing it again.

1:41 am

Atalante

are there ppl who simply can't get out for whatever reason, or is it all ppl staying by choice?

1:42 am

meliae

they stayed by choice

1:42 am

Atalante

very clever

1:42 am

sprite

people goof up, sometimes badly. I like the fines. But people will be people and we all do stupid things sometimes.

1:42 am

meliae

they had busses all kinds of stuff set up to get them out and to shelters

1:42 am

rururocks

they were worried about a little rain apparently

1:42 am

dcseain

all staying by choice, ata, this time.

Good morning all -- just a quick check in to see who is around

8:01 am

bethn

hi woulf, we've never met. i was lurking yesterday how' your MIL?

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

GW! How ARE you?

8:02 am

GreyWoulf

hello and well met, bethn!

8:02 am

bethn

:)

8:03 am

GreyWoulf

Hello, Une -- I am fine as are the rest of the family...

My mother in law went into the hospital yesterday as she had suffered a heart attack previously in the week. What she thought was gall bladder pain was actually pressure resultant from the attack

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. Love to you and your family . . .

8:04 am

bethn

were they able to determine extent of attack? How's she feeling now?

8:04 am

GreyWoulf

They put a stint in place yesterday and she is doing just fine.... Kirsten and her sister spent the majority of the afternoon and evening with her yesterday. She is strong and vital and will most probably be released tomorrow

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

oh, that's encouraging!

8:05 am

bethn

that is good to hear . sending good thoughts your way

8:05 am

GreyWoulf

That is supposed to be stent, isn't it? The medical world is rife with weird spellings and words in general

8:05 am

GreyWoulf

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! woulf. sorry to hear your news but glad it seems to be looking up today.

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

morning, TO

8:07 am

GreyWoulf

Howdy TO!! Yes, things are looking pretty good.

8:08 am

GreyWoulf

Personally, we think that what brought this on is that Mimi has not fully processed all of her grief and guilt over her husband passing away last year. As a result she has been pushing herself too hard to do things outside of her house and ignoring proper care for herself

8:09 am

bethn

your family has had a rough year woulf

8:11 am

GreyWoulf

She, herself, proposed a plan to sell her house in order to give the monies from the sale to her children before it becomes an inheritance to keep things a bit simpler for us. So we are all going to be a bit more active in the process of helping her get the things done to make it ready for the market

8:12 am

GreyWoulf

beth -- not as rough as some of our fellow Babblers, though I definitely count all of you folks as one of the major blessings in my life

8:13 am

bethn

is she local to you?

8:14 am

GreyWoulf

Yep -- about 15 minutes away from us. Her other daughter lives on the other side of the state, but that won't stop her from doing what she needs to to help her mother out

8:16 am

bethn

that make it much easier. I'm about 2 1/2 hrs away from my folks, and when crisis occurs it is hard to be there for them quickly

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

8:18 am

you type too well, kje. double d for dallas boobs would impede accuracy, hat would impair vision

actually, probably more cowboy hats in your state than mine, small

10:11 am

although, we likely have more boobs

10:11 am

per capita?

well, maybe... your state has become a favorite of the hollywood elite, so soon your state will be overflowing with boobs too

true. on both.

fake, perky ones

10:12 am

Not size. Number.

no shad festival... in my old age i find i don't like big crowds of people.... peace and serenity are more my speed

seriously... does that definition mean anything to anyone? it sounds liek a nother language

Nah. We legalized gay marriage! (Yay!)

great definition kj, but i pay no attention to arcane defs

exactly. which is why i say go for it. if he is a gentleman

well doren - who knows? but if we arrive separately and leave separately and it only costs $30,...

hello everyone :)

10:42 am

JBV

Monkey, I've been working in the field of ESL for a very long time - we collect these examples of "approximations of English" for laughs - my favorite one is a Chinese student who handed me a small green wafer (like a cracker) and told me it was a special Chinese treat - when I asked what it was he said "snake"

10:42 am

MonkeyGames

I still see my old icon. What are you folks seeing? Thank you or figure with writing?

10:42 am

JBV

I politely accepted, daringly took a bite, and considered myself very brave......

10:43 am

MonkeyGames

Hee, hee. My personal favorite is a Japanese housemate we had here. He knows I write. He came in one day and said, "How are your fictions?"

10:43 am

JBV

then later found out from another Chinese student who spoke better English that it was a "snack" of dried seaweed!

10:43 am

Dorens

thank you monkey

10:43 am

Dorens

and if it had been snake, jbv?

10:43 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, I figured he meant snack. Must be from 15 years in a country where my native language is not the usual.

10:44 am

JBV

well then I'd add it to my list of exotic foods I've eaten!

10:44 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, good, Dorens! Thanks.

10:44 am

10:44 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks Wren!

10:45 am

JBV

never have, never will, monkey

10:46 am

MonkeyGames

It was one of those things... there is a shop associated with the San Diego Wild Animal Park. They are licensed to sell meat from exotics that die of natural causes there. The lion was, well, bloody awful.

10:47 am

bfsog

hey all

10:48 am

JBV

not to give the wrong impression - I never laughed at my students (just thought I'd throw that in there) - I have too many experiences of my own in speaking other languages and making native speakers roll on the floor laughing

10:48 am

MonkeyGames

There are many animals which I would never ever encourage the killing of by buying some meat or in any other way supporting the killing thereof. But now and then there comes a chance to try a new meat without doing so. Like when a friend came back from Iceland with whale, and invited us to dinner. Well, you know, completely against whaling... but not eating it would have done no good to any whale so we tried it.

10:48 am

Dorens

gotta run... see you later

10:49 am

JBV

Did the same last year with moose - friend came back from a trip to Canada with bales of frozen moose meat - had it in stew, not bad

10:49 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, of course, JBV! We laughed WITH this gorl, never behind her back, and I can tell you how it feels, because someone finds reason to laugh about my Dutch daily. Once you put a good face on it it is easy to laugh with the people who feel you said something funny; now I speak enough to even know WHY it's funny.

10:50 am

MonkeyGames

The whale tasted like a fabulous steak that had been left in a bag with a mackerel too long.

10:51 am

cybernan

he 8? -- and I don't know any legalese!

10:51 am

MonkeyGames

He also brought and Icelandic delicacy, Rotted Shark. The anthropologist in me made me be polite, despite the fact that I could smell it through the sealed glass jar. If anyone ever mentions this delicacy... run. Run far, and run fast.

10:51 am

JBV

I learned this lesson early - I speak spanish very well, was quite fluent by the end of high school, yet on my first trip to Spain, I had the nuns in the convent where we were staying turning RED and giggling when I mentioned the word comb (peine) - it seems I was not pronouncing the middle diphthong and was saying "pene" (guess what?

10:52 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. I once observed a man trying to make his way through a crowd saying, "Excusado, excusado..."

10:53 am

rururocks

that was me

10:53 am

MonkeyGames

I am now in my third year of a social work degree entirely in Dutch, Reports, interviews, the works. But I guarantee you Walter's Dutch will be much better than mine by the time he's 6. He is being raised bilingual. Good for the brain.

10:59 am

MonkeyGames

The Dutch are very logical about guessing English, though. There was a fellow at the stable where I worked back when I was illegal (fully naturalized nowadays). He was working on building a platform. At one point he pointed out a beam and toild me he needed to extenuate it.

11:00 am

JBV

you know what else I love? when two people who do not speak the same language can manage to communicate when necessary - happens in emergencies, romances, etc. - very beautiful to see

11:01 am

Walter says several things in English with Dutch grammar, by the way. Absolutely charming. "What are you a nice mama!" "There flies an airplane!" "How is it with you today, Daddy?"

11:10 am

LuvB

thanks

11:10 am

MonkeyGames

Sam is 91 and lost my grandmother a few years ago so we do worry...

11:10 am

kje

that's good mg

11:10 am

redturtlehead

My Grandfather is 90, so he has lived a very long life, he has dementia and is not responding well Grandma decided not to put a feeding tube in him...

11:10 am

redturtlehead

SO we are waiting and seeing, but I heard he "rallied" recently, so I expect thats the final rally.

11:10 am

redturtlehead

But he is very very old and lived a very good life.

11:11 am

kje

thank your grandma for that red - pegs tend to worsen outcomes in that age and diagnoses group - a lot

11:11 am

MonkeyGames

My thoughts are with you. That's hard.

11:11 am

redturtlehead

I couldnt really see a reson for a tube at this point either kje. I mean, its not like he is going to recover from dementia.

11:12 am

redturtlehead

Thanks Monkey.

11:12 am

Aloyisius

bb soon.. gonna dive in and see what I can find sans chat..

11:12 am

kje

no - and studies show careful hand feedings, though time consuming, are better for the patient...

11:12 am

MonkeyGames

That is sort of like what happened to my grandmother's sister. She was terribly ill with pancreitis. They made that decision too. Then she rallied and had a great few months, and died quietly in her sleep. At 98.

11:13 am

MonkeyGames

My grandfather will not be on hospice but he does not want tubes or "extreme measures" and we all know that.

11:13 am

kje

tough time, red... best advice is I have is to focus on comfort and respect

11:13 am

MonkeyGames

Absolutely. Very well put, kje.

11:13 am

redturtlehead

Thats my thought, My big thing is trying to get my Dad to go see him...he is very uncomfortable with dying people, but I think he could get over it for his Dad....though they weren't all that close.

11:14 am

rururocks

I need help on the second pe 5/12 please

11:15 am

kje

that is where hospice is the most helpful, I believe, is getting families to feel comfortable with the process and to address the grief

11:15 am

kje

only pe5/12 I have is a man's name

11:15 am

redturtlehead

Yes, Grandpa is under Hospice.

11:15 am

MonkeyGames

My mother, Sam's ex-daughter-in-law, has stuck by that side of the family through thick and thin... and cannot bring herself to see him now. It was very hard for me to see him so ailing when we went back but I am SOOO glad I did! I have told my aunt to Get Me Out There if it looks like the end is nigh. I hope your dad can collect himself and go there. He'll regret it if he doesn't.

11:15 am

kje

(((hugs))) red, hang in there

11:15 am

JBV

good job with the 14 down, Monkey

11:23 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! But it took 10 months. I would like to be losing a pound or two a week. I found out that the metabolism-slowing thing about having a baby at 36 is not a myth.

11:23 am

JBV

keep going.... I'm on the same path, slow but steady, have lost 40 pounds = very slow now, but i'm not giving up

11:24 am

Buttonman

11:25 am

MonkeyGames

No, I do realize the dangers of crash dieting, plus it makes me irritable to be that hungry and with a 4-year-old I am trying to raise with maximum self-confidence that is not allowed.

11:25 am

JBV

11:37 am

Pinikula

I'm a bit oldschool and think "the guy should be taller than the girl", but have yet to find one that works for me ;-)

11:37 am

redturtlehead

OK finished prescribed lunch.

11:38 am

JBV

there are 3 do 4/5 before the 6

11:38 am

kje

it isn't so much being old school, for me, pini, as just not wanting to feel huge... would like someone at least an inch taller : )

11:39 am

redturtlehead

I know what you mean kje, I was standing beside said MD and I felt enormous....which I am not.

11:39 am

Pinikula

12:09 pm

MetFan

Ah so....

12:10 pm

pugmama763

when I'm grumpy & stressed I mostly lurk

12:10 pm

MetFan

I hear ya - most days I prefer to just lurk and play...

12:11 pm

pugmama763

has the pollen been as brutal in NY as here of late?

12:11 pm

MetFan

Well, I don't have the problem with it most people have, so I can't gauge.

12:12 pm

MetFan

How about you, autumn? Any problems where you are?

12:12 pm

pugmama763

OH! teehee, have you noticed how much more sedate "elsa" has been lately?

12:12 pm

autumn moon

aahhh - lurking - I do that most days. Usually say hi, then indicate I am concentrating on grid, then ask for my last couple.

12:12 pm

MetFan

Yes, I've noticed...al directly because of me, I'm proud to say....

12:12 pm

autumn moon

Pollen - the bane of my existence.

12:13 pm

pugmama763

*****STANDING OVATION FOR MET******

12:13 pm

pugmama763

12:14 pm

autumn moon

*clapping* wondering what I am clapping for...

12:14 pm

pugmama763

a story best told by email autumn

12:14 pm

MetFan

I think it's safe to say that there's certain times you should avoid the chog because of the grand-standers....

12:15 pm

autumn moon

pug - mine's in my profile if you want to share. If not, I will remain blissfully unaware.

12:15 pm

pugmama763

suffice it to say a certain insufferable person had much of the wind taken from their sails

12:16 pm

pugmama763

If he wishes I'll let Met enlighten you

12:16 pm

autumn moon

'kay - blissfully unaware... like most of my life!

12:17 pm

autumn moon

(but I love gossip, so email me)

12:17 pm

pugmama763

wouldn't be fair of me to steal Mets thunder

12:17 pm

MetFan

OK autumn...I got yours....mine's in profile too, but I'll send you an abridged version when I get grid-blinded....

12:18 pm

MetFan

And pug, you could tell her - you were as much part of the story...

12:18 pm

PAV3

12:18 pm

pugmama763

yahooozer for PAV!!!!!!

12:18 pm

autumn moon

PAV3

thanks to Kiwi and all who helped celebrate my BD thrusday...I was bit tuckered yesterday still, so I didn't join in last night...Hi Autumn! how are you?

12:19 pm

MetFan

That's because you don't post your ACTUAL e-mail address - you create a yahoo profile and free e-mail account, then use that for this kind of thing.

12:21 pm

reparteena

pugmama763

12:22 pm

12:45 pm

mkg

ty.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

OK. So hmmmm.... it's just a fluid production reaction issue? So a drainage surgery will fix it? Or it is reacting to an immune response to the surgery? Can it resorb?

12:45 pm

Lindrickway

hey AUTUMN!!

12:45 pm

Lindrickway

pug that is sad news

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh no, Pug! Serious or follow-up detail catching?

I'm also a Repub...but if they can't take the heat, then please go...I'm not voting for either major party, and haven't since the first wacko-Bush...

1:22 pm

evanonut

and i always encourage everyone to vote, even if they tell me they're voting for mccain

1:22 pm

MetFan

These people are not Republicans - they are White Supremists!!!

1:22 pm

pugmama763

I'm registered independant unfortunately our corrupt system makes a 3rd party run all but impossible

1:23 pm

reparteena

name calling--another volatile issue....(sigh)

1:23 pm

MetFan

And as supremists I mean they feel they are better than ANYONE - including the so-called middle class.

1:23 pm

evanonut

hi partee

1:23 pm

mkg

lets instead say how totally amazing we are to be able to criticize anyone in the u.s. how lucky that no one will come kill us for saying anything about any politician or any idea the govt has. we are so lucky to be free to say this. in most of the world we would be killed.

1:23 pm

MetFan

Amen to that, MKG

1:24 pm

mkg

no one should feel they must leave the u.s. if someone is elected. instead celebrate we are free to vote.

1:24 pm

PAV3

you mean elitists then, the white supremists are akin to the KKK and skin heads...Ms Palin without hair could be interesting....

1:24 pm

reparteena

one should always vote, never loose it evanonut.

1:24 pm

pugmama763

If GWB had his way we be jailed for it!

evanonut

hiya dc!

1:25 pm

pugmama763

I just think the whole party system & especially the electoral college crap should be done away with!!!!

1:26 pm

PAV3

...and yes, I didn't mean to infer voters should leave the US just becasue their candidates don't win...although Canada does have nice scenery. mountains and trees and lakes...

1:26 pm

dcseain

direct election of proz would be a big happy.

1:26 pm

1:27 pm

PAV3

Hi DC...as a history major, I've had some difficulty with the various interpretations of the "founding fathers'" intentions on a lot of things over the past two decades...

1:28 pm

mkg

my grandfather was stoned as he walked on the streets of poland and he was so thrilled to be in america and be able to vote. lets instead celebrate that and lets not get into downward stuff and sprial down and be depressed. lets say how joyeous it is to live in the u.s. where we have such freedom. canada has it as well as britian, and other western nations. but the powerful nations coming up, the muslim world and china, dont have these freedoms at all. lets pray the u.s. continues as it is now forever. i read today that 17,000 iraqi 's are coming to the u.s. as political assylum victims and that scares me. who knows what new ideas they will bring. and eventually it will be like france which has a huge problem with their muslim population today. hail to the wonderfulness of the u.s.

1:28 pm

evanonut

pav, have you ever listened to the dan carlin podcasts?

1:29 pm

dcseain

yes, the various interpretations of the founders' intent does get tiresome, and is also muddy due to the lack of commentary by them.

1:29 pm

evanonut

i think they meant it to be vague

1:29 pm

PAV3

sorry no, I've only begun my 'puter expereince, and Babbling's as far as it goes....:)

1:30 pm

mkg

pug if we spent some $$$$$$$on solving the illegal imigrant issue instead of giving foreign aid where they spit in our faces and hate us, wouldnt it be wonderful?

1:30 pm

dcseain

i agree nutty, the intenent of vague, that it be adaptable as things change.

1:30 pm

mkg

well bye all.

1:30 pm

dcseain

later, mkg. :)

1:30 pm

evanonut

dancarlin.com pav, he does a show called commen sense and he loves to discuss what he thinks their intention was, its a great listen

1:30 pm

dc - we should have "recordated their specchifyings" if I may quote our lame duck to allow the rest of the human beings a glimpse of their beliefs.

1:31 pm

1:32 pm

rururocks

If we ever spent real money on our own people and set up programs for the poor in our own country instead of dispensing monies to countries who could care less about what we do for them I would be happy... not too big on big spenidng at NASA either..

1:32 pm

dcseain

wb, metfan

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Indeed. Broke lurk mode to say... the US has produced a lot of useful ideals. That is true. As a person who left the US, spent 7 years as an illegal alien, and eventually gained citozenship elsewhere, it is not the best political system in the world. And France's "muslim problem" is mostly its own bigoptry-related fault. But yes, in the "old days" the US was a haven for lots oof peoplke who faced persecution elsewhere.

1:32 pm

MetFan

Seems I missed alot of good rants....

1:32 pm

reparteena

if most people truly appreciated the freedoms and rights we have, we would be more inclined to protect it. There are not enough older people left to tell the younger ones how it is to be a prisoner in ones own country or how it is to have your rights taken away. That's all I am going to say.

1:32 pm

PAV3

I'm all for bringin back the Isolationist Policy, we don't mess with other countries, unless they touch our's first...

isolationism has it's benefits. the mesh of isolationism with the monroe doctorine always confused me a bit.

OH hey, just found out my neighbor is in the paralympic sailing team. Darned iof I can remember his name though. So fingers crossed for Party Dude in the sailing!!!!

1:54 pm

1:54 pm

evanonut

is it going on now monk?

1:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Not really sure... He said he was leaving for China soon, and I haven't seen him for a few days. Nor, for the record, his boat, which is usually parked out front.

1:56 pm

pugmama763

crap really must go take a splash & sit down to pay bills(ugh!)will return later to chat/clue more.Happy Babbling & fireworks to all!

1:56 pm

evanonut

i don't understand how sailing competition works at all

1:56 pm

PAV3

see ya Pug!

1:56 pm

MonkeyGames

He could compete on a regular olympic level except he has to have his boats fitted with some sort of highly specialist handle. His left arm ends with just a thumb and pad, the rest of the hand is not there.

1:57 pm

PAV3

Nut - it's usually the fastest from point to point...

1:57 pm

evanonut

huh...you set a world record in losing me pav

1:58 pm

MonkeyGames

So I guess, specialist equipment and all, it's OK that he has to be in the paralympics. I was really upset about that deaf woman who was foreced into the paralympics because of a disability. I mean, c'mon, she was a marathon runner. She could run. And compete. Against everyone. Why couldn't sh ebe in the regular olympics?

1:59 pm

evanonut

where there are rules, there will be unfair exceptions

1:59 pm

Sam

pelo n

1:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Of course. And I understand that. But it just rankled. Oh well.

1:59 pm

PAV3

sailing contests...like the America's Cup...same sized boats racing to get from point to point, around buoys and such, using sails, which the wind chooses to catch, or the skill is in catching hte right wind stream...

2:00 pm

evanonut

how about a drinking contest instead?

2:01 pm

MonkeyGames

Traditionally speaking, that probably SHOULD be an olympic event...

2:01 pm

evanonut

even alexander the great had drinking contests

2:02 pm

PAV3

yes, been there done that...i leave that to the youngsters...and there'll probabaly be some in bars around the various ports

2:02 pm

MonkeyGames

OH yes. He had a notably strong interest in the pastime.

2:03 pm

MonkeyGames

There's thet one tale about how he got REEKING drunk and challenged an entire fortress, and they just kept sending out one soldier at a time untiol he realized he'd weakened them enough to take the place out.

2:04 pm

MonkeyGames

A few years later, the habit combined with a re-infected old wound killed him.

2:04 pm

PAV3

ok...should get my day started...just cleaning house for a change...laundry and such...good luck All!

2:04 pm

evanonut

sounds exciting and interesting

2:06 pm

MonkeyGames

That's really all there is to the legend. The besieged could not believe this reeking drunk kept wiping out their best, and so another would say, "Well, send ME out instead of all the troops." and he'd kill him. Over and over. Couldd've been a ploy, of course.

2:06 pm

MonkeyGames

But according to Bagoas he was a drunk.

2:07 pm

evanonut

i like how it seems that all the greatest warring tribes had a strong love of being inebriated

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

You would think... but there have been only TWO people in history who successfully commanded the troops of an empire spanning the known world at the age iof 17. Him and Joan of Ark.And she didn't drink.

Nancy did you get flooding??? I am in Clermont right now.

2:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Noty that helps yo get through a day. But so's you know, *I* at least appreciate it.

2:36 pm

redturtlehead

I think Monkey alot of people think that for some reason Money entitles them to good health...so when they feel bad they are really mean...unfortunately we all get old...

2:36 pm

NANCY

Not where I live since I am in a fairly new home and it is built so drainage can occur properly but we had a lot of flooding in the city. l

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

glad your house is OK...the news looked awful.

2:37 pm

NANCY

Are you just visiting in the Orlando area?

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

I'm on a contract until october, been here since April.

2:37 pm

MonkeyGames

I know. Sigh. Money entitles you to the best health you can apford, just like poverty does. I am poor but live where we have socialized health care. I work a residency (for free) at a placve where we help people get the care that ebtitles them too, especially elderly folks. Society is a nice ide but these days it rather sucks.

2:37 pm

Just how many three storey tall spiral slide-tunnels does one playground need?

I guess I would have to add coccus.

and it would be entera anyway

2:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Not necessarily if it's a prefix.

2:57 pm

kje

try to go in + opp of off

2:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Enable is variable about prefixes.

2:57 pm

redturtlehead

Well, yes, but you know I cant spell, I am ONLY a nurse....;)

2:58 pm

kje

I meant as a stand alone MG

2:58 pm

redturtlehead

Yaaay!!! thanks!!!

2:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Move here. Nurses get respect, AND paid!

2:58 pm

MonkeyGames

I understand that. But randomly a prefix DOES work.

2:58 pm

redturtlehead

I get paid...

2:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Enough?

2:59 pm

MonkeyGames

It's a competetive profession here.

2:59 pm

redturtlehead

yes really I do get paid enough. Oddly. nurses complain, but I do get paid enough.

2:59 pm

kje

nurses make fantastic salaries given education level - salaries went up with the shortage

2:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Not where my grabdfather si. You should have HEARD my aunt about the nursing staff! I am SO glad he'sout of hospital!

3:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Good for you! I am glad to hear it.

3:00 pm

redturtlehead

Just because they are paid well doesnt mean they are good nurses, unfortunately.

3:00 pm

redturtlehead

And admittedly for some of the stuff we put up with the salary isnt as high as it could be.

3:02 pm

redturtlehead

KJE do you know Bel Aire MD??? at all?

3:02 pm

MonkeyGames

Have to agree. But after disuc=ssing it all with various relatives, it is my inmpression that here there is more empasis on the education. I seem to know as much as many nurses about SOME subjects through self-education. My aunt was appalled by some of the one at the hospital my grandfather just got out of.

redturtlehead

Now, should I have pecan crusted chicken for dinner or a piece of salmon??

3:12 pm

MonkeyGames

I do understand. But you'd get more vacations here. Just trying to recruit an obvious asset; don't mind me...

3:12 pm

MonkeyGames

pecanchicken. Hands down.

3:12 pm

redturtlehead

True Monkey, but it gets really cold there on occasion doesnt it?

3:12 pm

MonkeyGames

OHHHHHHHH yes. OK, if weather is a factor I concede immediately.

3:13 pm

redturtlehead

Yes. You know, I think I might try to secure 2 contracts at once. one for October and one for Dec/Jan.

3:13 pm

MonkeyGames

It's not the periodic shocking cold, though, It is the months oif chilly gloom. That's the clincher.

3:13 pm

redturtlehead

Hmmm. I wanted to ask Kje about the gym in that area.

3:13 pm

redturtlehead

chilly gloom is better than ice.

3:14 pm

MonkeyGames

Winter is OK. It is fall (5 months) and spring (5 months) that cause the trouble.

3:14 pm

lynxxx

'chilly gloom' - I think you will have just put Red off

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

My favorite season is fall.

3:14 pm

flosey

does anyone have a clue for the last he6 word please?

3:14 pm

No, no! The ice is cool! Everyone wearing scarves and mittens, bright clear steely skies! The ice is fine!

3:15 pm

Hey kje... my grandfather has been having problems with bacterial bladder issues. My aunt is undecided about my advice... I think that there could be some improvement with regular use of cranberry capules. I don't meana cure but just maybe some improvement. What's your view on that? Yes, I am shamelessly recruiing an arsenal of convicion, but I am very open to contradictoin and won't start a major debate!

3:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Or even a minor debate.

3:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Yay Flosey!

3:27 pm

flosey

I've heard of the straight cranberry juice used that way MG

3:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Me too. Research seems to show that it contains a particlular tannin that restricts attachment to the bladder wall by these bacteria.

3:28 pm

MonkeyGames

And I can attest that ot really helps me!

3:28 pm

flosey

KJE left for a bit said she'd be back later

Extremely. But when Walter was sick I asked every medical professional for evry possible piece of input and I think I really bugged her. But he was REALLY sick! And I was also talking him to our doctor the whole time. But anyway, she was extremely gracious about it all and I was sorry I was kind of a butthead sometimes.

sprite

grin Kiwi, what about you?

3:45 pm

MonkeyGames

YES! Both have responded positive. As for presemnts, ummm. well he is at an age where a post card with an owl on it migt be his favorite thing for months. Unless you can get him a Real Guitar, anything that makes him think is fime.

3:45 pm

sprite

3:46 pm

Walter had a BLAST, then skipped story time and his songs and was asleep before his usual bedtime. I had fun and am very tired, DAny took him on all the slides and stuff anfd is WRECKED... but still had to train to a bitrthday partuy somewhere just beyond Utyrecht and wil be back tomorrow. Zappa fan thing; you know. Took a Zapopa beer (Lumpy Gravy) for the birthday girl.

3:53 pm

sprite

lolol, poor Dany, but it will be fun.
How is Walter?
Caya seems to have the same symptoms Walter had, except for the aching throat.

3:54 pm

evanonut

spritey flighty!

3:54 pm

naughty nutty!

3:55 pm

evanonut

3:55 pm

brilliant icon, nut!

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh tomorro is thanks to Lickety Day. I am still on friendship.

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

back from dog walks.

3:56 pm

evanonut

thanks spriter

3:56 pm

MonkeyGames

It seems that has been going around! I hear more and more about it. Let's taljk about viral mutation on Saturday. I was in the first 100 in Southern California to get the Beijing flu; I think this is omething like that. How uis she? Tired, pale, depredded? Occasional fever? Is she doing OK now? Hope Walter didn't give it to her! But seems to be a hemi-epidemnic now.

3:56 pm

evanonut

i'm looking for stuff for the show

3:56 pm

sprite

friendship is great for today, red! I do the early update because for me it is bedtime now, and as icon queen I have to be the first :)

3:56 pm

MonkeyGames

Walter ia 100% now, so's you know. Has been for three weeks or so.

3:57 pm

redturtlehead

Go Queenie go! and good night Sprite. thanks for keeping it together for us.,

3:57 pm

sprite

who knows where they get it from, Monkey, we never do.
Yes, exactly what you describe. How long did it take before Walter was back to himself again?

3:57 pm

MonkeyGames

6 weeks.

3:57 pm

sprite

red, I have to say I enjoy it! Much more than I expected :)

3:57 pm

LuvB

missing last one. pe6,21. it's either before or after the gas

3:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Then 2 or 3 with occasional relapses.

3:58 pm

LuvB

never mind. got it

3:58 pm

redturtlehead

change the last vowel of the gas.

3:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Now for 3 weeks or so he's been FINE! Some students at my school have had it. Nobody has a clear answer. That spells New Virus.

3:58 pm

sprite

ok, that is good to keep in mind, to know what we might expect. Poor thing, but in a way I always feel children grow up in unexpected ways during an illness.

3:58 pm

sprite

yup, I feel the same thing coming on here, MonkeyG. Nothing in the blood tests so far.

3:59 pm

sprite

LuvB, wtg! Congrats with finishing.

3:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Danny has had a sore throat for 4weeks. Seems this hits the youngest hardest.

3:59 pm

MonkeyGames

Not Eppstein Barr. Probably some sort of flu.

4:00 pm

MonkeyGames

Walter did. He has matured. I was scared-- you hear about kids never being quite right again-- but he IS!

4:00 pm

sprite

that test is not back yet, but I don't think it will be positive. Some flu virus indeed, a nasty one. But if it is over when it is over, I am a happy mum. Pfeiffer would be so much longer lasting.

4:01 pm

sprite

yay for Walter being ok again :)

4:01 pm

MonkeyGames

Not so much a nast y ona s a NEW one.Actually even mor elikely than flu is a new Herpes variation (even chicken pox is herpes). But any way you look at it, thanks to Waltrer I acn say the human race ius prepared for this one.

4:02 pm

sprite

I am going to give a good example here to MonkeyG, I am going to bed :)
Sleep well all, or enjoy your day first, and see you tomorrow! *hugs*

4:02 pm

LuwandaHL

he6 and he8?

4:02 pm

MonkeyGames

Chicken pox is... let'ssee... water pokken.

4:03 pm

sprite

in this place + don't do **** others...

4:04 pm

sprite

yup, waterpokken. About the only kid's disease they are still allowed to get. And kid's diseases can be a kind of rite of passage. Maybe that is why nature conjures up new ones?

4:04 pm

sprite

and shorten it for he6, Luwanda

4:04 pm

MonkeyGames

This is the Age of Viruses. I read a book.

4:04 pm

sprite

though reading can be very contagious, I don't think it is a virus

4:05 pm

MonkeyGames

Walter has had 5th and 6th; they're allowed to have those. But they can't get mumps. But I did! It sucked.

4:05 pm

periwinkle

hello all

4:05 pm

4:17 pm

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

I'm a travel nurse, so its the way it works, I get paid a lot more than the normal nurse, but yes it is a hassle, but if I hate a place it isnice because i can leave!

don't think it's the main airport, as CDG is the international, but the Or4 reminds me of Paris. so that's my association.

9:13 pm

ardilla

yep, well i fly out on mon but don't get there until wed

9:13 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I alwaus called Mr.Manilow's nose 'Concorde'. But, since my Dad worked on the prototype of that (the jet not the nose). maybe that's not so bad.

9:13 pm

ardilla

harp change last vowel

9:13 pm

harpjane

i know, but i still keep trying floo

9:14 pm

ardilla

how cool, Jac! Was he devastated when it got grounded?

9:14 pm

ardilla

or add a letter

9:14 pm

Angelsong

the hurricane damage in Galveston and Houston is terrible...but we barely had any rain, and not nearly as much wind as we expected.

9:14 pm

ardilla

for two more words

9:14 pm

Jacula

No, Harp, because he was dead by then.

9:15 pm

Jacula

He would have been v. annoyed, I think. It wasn't the jet's fault. It was debris on the runway. The jet should never have been taken out of commission, imho.

9:15 pm

stidmama

Just now angelsong, and replied, too!

9:15 pm

jesdraggon

one word left. off to get frosting makings, then back

9:15 pm

I am so glad you are okay, angelsong

9:17 pm

stidmama

ick. the termites are flying tonight...

9:17 pm

Angelsong

I'm 45 minutes (about 40 miles) north of Austin. Houston and Galveston are south and east of Austin by a fair amount.

9:18 pm

Jacula

Unless you're a Buddhist. stid, zap as many as you can. Our equivalent is flying ants. YUCK!

9:18 pm

harpjane

i hope we don't get the kind of widepsread damage we had with Katrina

9:18 pm

Jacula

I have friends in Austin, Tx. I hope they are okay.

9:18 pm

harpjane

a "normal" hurricane is bad enough!

9:18 pm

Angelsong

thanks for your e mail, Stid. Now I'm going to be woking on getting the Babble Resource Guide moved to my domain.

9:19 pm

Jacula

They have a beachfront property.

9:19 pm

harpjane

i think austin was fine, jac

9:20 pm

Angelsong

Austin fared well, Jac. over 6,000 evacuees are there

9:20 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, my answer about my Dad and Concorde should have been directed to Une not to Harp. Forgive me, it's 3.19am he4.

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

harpjane

9:22 pm

ardilla

9:22 pm

stidmama

9:22 pm

stidmama

and when will you fly out Tuesday? early or late?

9:22 pm

Jacula

LOL, Harp and Une.

9:23 pm

stidmama

*wondering if there is time or inclination for a meet-up*

9:24 pm

Jacula

Harry Potter dead? No! Still far too many stories to tell there. But will Ms. Rowling tell them?

9:24 pm

ardilla

yes, early

9:24 pm

ardilla

i would like to meet you stid

9:25 pm

Jacula

9:56 pm

Jacula

fr5/16 = French for 'brother'.

9:57 pm

Jacula

What the hell does it cost to call those numbers if you're not in USA though, Nut?

9:57 pm

Jacula

I've got Skype, but you're never there when I am!

9:58 pm

evanonut

jac, i have absolutely no clue, but it saves me the frustration of my comp freezing up in the middle of half the skype calls too, then losing all that work.

9:58 pm

evanonut

9:58 pm

Jacula

I can understand that, nut.

ty herin grey and jac for congrats

11:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- she doesn't hide -- she just is paranoid about doing anything outside with both kids involved when she is running solo -- she knows that she can't respond quickly enough if they get too far away from her

11:12 pm

Jacula

Tht'smy message to Chris, Wolfie.

11:13 pm

ardilla

any clues needed b4 i go nitey nite?

11:13 pm

Jacula

Wolf - she's still getting too hung up about her weight there. I think.

11:13 pm

Minveryork

yes haneef

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Also, right now her weight is such that she suffers pain if she walks short distances, so suddenly changing her lifestyle to add the walk to school in would actually be dangerous from a health perspective

11:15 pm

ardilla

has she tried water ae4bics or swimming? both are no impact and are a great way to ease into fitness

11:15 pm

GreyWoulf

And the weight issue is compounded by her diabetes. Now that we are truly married on all levels - spiritual, religious, personal, and legal per state requirements - she is on my medical insurance and we will be able to address this problem safely

11:16 pm

Jacula

A while ago, not knowing my weight, sincne the scales were hidden, I concluded that I probably couldn't actuallly run to save my live any more, but also worked out the athe adrenalin might make it possible for me to save my chuildren and step cild, shou8ld thingiu,,y whatsits occur/

haneef

need clue he6,21 pls

11:17 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ho4-5 the last one? Thanks

11:17 pm

GreyWoulf

ardilla -- the prob there is what to do with the kids? we don't have the money to join any sort of spa or gym, and my hours at work preclude getting there without the kids as well

11:17 pm

Jacula

Grfey - he's 3 stone over weight and have somehow become 5 stone overwieght.

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Again -- we are working on getting this all resolved, so who knows, come spring the walk may no longer be a concern

11:18 pm

Jacula

Let's all get fit aqnd healthy together.

11:20 pm

MayneGuy

hi ardilla

11:20 pm

GreyWoulf

Who knows -- maybe if the doctor says that her weight is a serious enough issue, the insurance can help cover some of the costs -- getting to the gym wouldn't be an issue as we currently live across the street from a YMCA

11:20 pm

herinfernallady

Grey small steps small steps. Reinforcing healthy eating and excersise as a great example for kids. My mum loath's fat people (its a her thing) and gave me a whole world of food problems. If you or her need support i can be found at her_infernal_ladyship@yahoo.com. I too am dirt poor and trying too loose about 60 pounds

11:20 pm

ardilla

Grey last year i weighed 246pounds. Today i weigh 227pound. THis is after half a year of changing my diet and exercise.

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

lady -- if I can ever get Kirsten comfortable with a computer you may get to chat with her -- she is a pen and paper sort of person

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

And I know weight loss is a journey of many small milestones -- all the studies I have read point out that losing more thatn 1-3 pounds a week can be more dangerous than the excess weight due to the shock to the system -- heck I need to lose about 25 pounds myself, so it is going to be an interesting fun ride

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

WEll i accept mail too

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

But for now, I need to bid my farewells to everyone -- we were visiting with our next door neighbors, but I had to put the Krisitanna to bed... I logged on while waiting to make sure that she actually went to sleep and somehow two hours have passed

11:30 pm

haneef

i learned by doing weight watchers that it is healthy to lose 1-3lbs anything more is unhealthy

11:30 pm

herinfernallady

I have read that too Grey.

11:32 pm

GreyWoulf

I will try to be back tomorrow to chat some more -- I have been away for too long and definitely miss my babble buds
