LoriP

Oh no. Not a sick man. The end times.....

5:53 am

Eva

the 2 other 8's are an se and a tr but I haven't found them yet

Atalante

5:54 am

elder

poor lad.

5:54 am

lynxxx

seems like the Ata family has been through some tr8

5:55 am

Atalante

absolutely. especially husband. he's very ill, you know

5:56 am

Eva

still don't see it.

5:56 am

LoriP

You're not really ill unless something needs amputation.

5:56 am

Atalante

funny, the first day I had this bug, I was lying in bed wanting to die. He's playing on his playstation ...

5:57 am

LoriP

Eva, a latiny sounding emotional damage

5:57 am

lynxxx

5:57 am

elder

LOl, bless. This is what they refer to as 'man's flu'

5:57 am

Atalante

urf, I *know*. He gets it far too much

5:58 am

Eva

have to go looking for the tr6/24 first

5:58 am

LoriP

emotional damage, therapy support team needed to move on.....

5:58 am

Atalante

talking of amputation, sister is definitely ill LOL. She's going back into hospital tomorrow for another op. When asked whether they would be able to save her arm, dr replied: "well ... we'll give it a good go!" Encouraging, eh??!

5:59 am

lynxxx

tr6 bad upset, severe illness, ends in opp of pa

5:59 am

LoriP

There's an optimistic maybe.....

5:59 am

Eva

Eva

6:00 am

lynxxx

give it a good go!? did someone smack that man across the face!

6:00 am

Atalante

absolutely *facepalm*. so when she wakes up from her ops, she never quite knows how many arms she's got!

6:00 am

LoriP

He makes it sound as if she has a spare one or something.

6:00 am

Atalante

I suppose it's better than saying "no"!

6:01 am

elder

One one expect a better response than that. She must be so worried.

6:01 am

lynxxx

se8 compound - chair & friend/partner

6:01 am

Atalante

really really worried! but it's got to the point where we all just have to laugh about it, it's so stupid and prolonged

6:01 am

NonoNanette

thanks lynxxx

6:01 am

Eva

can't believe I didn't see that, but I didn't. Thanks again!

6:02 am

Atalante

6:02 am

lynxxx

No - thankyou for giving us the starts Eva

6:02 am

NonoNanette

still need one more 8 tho

6:03 am

lynxxx

the un8 - when your hair is well brushed

6:03 am

LoriP

Same here Nono. Ata, perhaps sending Vinnie and Guido to see him and persuade him to be a tad more encouraging would help.

6:03 am

NonoNanette

and found it! thanks

6:04 am

ExWren

thankyou Lyn, I didn't have that one

6:04 am

LoriP

Good god. Ithought I tried that. Ack! Muchos grassyass Lynx.

6:04 am

Atalante

what's funny is that that *is* encouraging for that particular surgeon, compared to some of the things he's said in the past. I can't rememer any, but there have been some shockers

6:05 am

elder

Ata, in case I miss you later , I truly hope that the operation/ treatment for your sister goes well and she is not left bereft.

6:05 am

ExWren

gosh Lyn, another 8 for me

6:05 am

LoriP

Well, I hope what he lacks in people skills, he makes up for with surgical talent.

6:06 am

Atalante

I think she's be ok this time, I have a good feeling about this one

6:06 am

Atalante

and yes, Lori, he's one of the best best BEST surgeons in the UK. That's why we put up with him :)

6:07 am

NonoNanette

I always find words harder to see if I have to rotate anti-clockwise

6:11 am

lynxxx

One day DrG will instal a Rotate Button for this game

6:11 am

Atalante

wouldn't that be nice!

6:12 am

Atalante

and the ability to click on the grid with a mouse

6:12 am

LoriP

I'd like to have a detonation button for the grid.....

6:13 am

Atalante

*ker-plam!* no Qu! *swoosh* no M!

6:13 am

lynxxx

It must be easy, even Wordsplay has it and that doesn't seem to be as sophisticated as this

6:13 am

LoriP

ka - boom!

6:13 am

NonoNanette

HEY!!! my grid just disappeared Lori

6:14 am

Atalante

*ker-poof*! target WILL be a word!

6:14 am

LoriP

ata, I had the best plastic surgeon east of Montreal, but he was a terrible communicator. Talented surgeon though.

6:14 am

LoriP

lol Nono, problem solved now! :D

6:15 am

Atalante

I'd rather she has a good surgeon than a good communicator. But we're so used to James, we can translate into normal language now!

6:15 am

LoriP

a detonation button would be especially tehrapeutic on 're' grid days

6:16 am

Atalante

plastic surgeon? ooo what happened? are you ok from whenever?

6:17 am

LoriP

He had an absolutely dry wit interpreter intern though. After a long tedious explanation of broken bones in my face, and a too long technical explanation, the Intern looked at me and said "he's going to fix you". lolol

6:17 am

Atalante

lol! yayy for interns!

6:17 am

LoriP

yah yah, car accident, years ago, ancient history. Funny now, wasn't then. I'm always up for a laugh, even in dark times.

6:18 am

LoriP

He was a very funny guy. I couldn't talk, but he read my eyes, and I laughed inside. Loved that guy.

6:18 am

Atalante

oh good, I mean oh good it was years ago!

6:19 am

LoriP

Still with the poopy grid though. Maybe I'll go look for markdowns. Something I can actually see!

6:20 am

Atalante

LOL good idea! It'll still be here *lurking* when you get back!

6:20 am

lynxxx

Was just thinking back...I think I have fallen for all my 'good' doctors too...maybe its a thing

6:20 am

Atalante

oh it is. they make you feel better!

6:20 am

LoriP

28 left, and seeing nada, zilch, zip. How many left for you lynx, ATa?

6:23 am

Atalante

6:34 am

Atalante

how's Stew? how long have you had him now??

6:36 am

lynxxx

Got him middle of last December so he is quite settled now..seems to take 6-12 months. Still wouldn't trust him at an open door or off lead though, they have quite poor recall. But he's a lovely boy even though he does hog the couch

6:37 am

Atalante

wow, nearly a year already!

6:38 am

Atalante

they have awful recall! I had a lurcher for a while (until he started chasing sheep, so we had to give him back to the rescue centre *big sigh*) and he just *went* off lead.

6:38 am

Atalante

and they get very looooong on couches

6:40 am

lynxxx

lol - He does manage to scrunch up if I am laying on the couch already

6:40 am

Atalante

I love all sorts of lurchers / greyhounds etc when they scrunch up. they seem all legs at odd angles

6:42 am

lynxxx

I'm giving up for the nite - can't even find the last 2 H's - goodnite everyone, bye Ata, have a good day

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Sneaky tile!

7:46 am

Atalante

Qs always are :)

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Especially when one's opponent uses it in Scrabble for big points. My friend and I played 2 games on Friday and in one game her first 2 plays = bingos. How rude.

7:48 am

Atalante

7:48 am

7:49 am

phandmd

8:13 am

Scrabbler

TY for ag5

8:16 am

MonkeyGames

Everyone wish me luck at the doctor in two hours. Told him via e-mail that I would like, after these three months, to see an orthopedist about my bacvk and shoulder, since I can't sleep and all. He said I should come in and talk to him first about the possibilities. I mentioned that I have done so three times already, but what the heck, in I go...

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Do you need his permission to see an orthopdeist?

8:16 am

MonkeyGames

Yes.

8:17 am

MonkeyGames

Have to take in a referral paper.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Tell your doc to speak with me. I'll tell him what to do.

8:17 am

MonkeyGames

Hmmm, what would you say?

8:18 am

MonkeyGames

I'm tired of just being given painkillers that don't help much anyway. Want some images or something, at least a consult...

8:18 am

Scrabbler

I would say: this woman has tried time and conservative treatment, is still in discomfort, now let an orthopedist evaluate her.

8:18 am

Babs1

is it chronic pain, loss of mobility?? monkey?

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Yep, time for some imaging, I think.

8:20 am

MonkeyGames

My shoulder has been giving me off and on trouble for years, but the back is "new"-- three months ago I put soap in the dishwasher and couldn't stand up. Since then we've tried antiinflammatories, tramadol, and physiotherapy. I stioll cannot walk well and it's getting worse again, fairly rapidly. The shoulder is now a constant thing and locks up every few days. The doctor just keeps saying there'd be nothing to see on an x-ray.

8:20 am

Babs1

Is that your son in your icon? so precious and did you paint that chair??? monkey

8:21 am

MonkeyGames

That is Walter, my son, yes. HE painted the chair.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

True, an X-ray might not show anything, but an MRI can reveal much more--let an orthopod make that decision.

8:22 am

MonkeyGames

He's 4.

8:23 am

Babs1

WOW! Awesome...he's gorgeous! (Permitted to say about a lad??) I'd write to you an e-mail with some thoughts about your pain if I had your e-mail..

8:23 am

MonkeyGames

That's what I want too. I'll be Very Persuasive. I had an MRI last year for a family history of AVM's; it's not like we don't have a center for that ro anything!

8:23 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks. My e-mail has been posted often enough I might as well do it again: k.m.cooper@chello.nl

8:23 am

Babs1

did that MRI show anything?

8:24 am

MonkeyGames

Meanwhile, I discovered teh insurance will cover 500 Euros of alternative therapy, so I'm seeing an acupuncturist on Thursday.

8:24 am

MonkeyGames

No, thank goodness, I am free of teh family curse!

8:25 am

MonkeyGames

But I wrote my cousin to say so, and he was shocked at how often it turns up in his side of the family, and badgered his doctor into tests. He doesn't have "atypical migraines"-- he has a cavernous hemangioma! Operable, thank goodness. But exvidence of "repeated" bleeds already.

8:25 am

MonkeyGames

And I got to keep a nifty CD of my brain. Going to do some artwork with it.

8:27 am

kje

I have auditory organs for upper E... any clue for the other?

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I must get going now, kids. I have a tennis match then I work from 1-8 and it will be non-stop craziness in the office with colds/coughs etc.

8:27 am

MonkeyGames

eq.... To compare evenly.

8:28 am

MonkeyGames

Have fun and work well! "See" you soon!

8:28 am

kje

8:28 am

BzznBea

Hi Katie

hi katie

9:33 am

hurshy

i'm not a doctor, but i've seen every episode of ER and every episode of house (most of them multiple times)

9:34 am

hurshy

if your problem happens to be one that i've seen on there, you're in luck!

9:34 am

rururocks

that is kinda like going to med school isn't it?

9:34 am

hurshy

practically

9:35 am

EvaNadine

heh, no real problems, just more of a question...

9:35 am

hurshy

well, ask us, and then ask a real doctor later

9:35 am

rururocks

but dont do anything till you talk to the doctor..lol

9:35 am

flosey

hi ruru and hurshy

9:36 am

rururocks

morning floe

9:36 am

hurshy

hi flo

9:36 am

EvaNadine

ok, well, on the palm-side of my middle finger, 1st joint down from the fingertip, i have a lump underneath the joint...
im guessing its just a broken blood vessel (i have had the lump come + go several times before) but i was just curious if i was right...
theres no real bruising, but the lump is sore...

9:36 am

bichon

as longs as everyone is saying hi, I will too, hi

9:37 am

hurshy

is it a smushy lump?

9:37 am

flosey

hi bichon

9:37 am

EvaNadine

dunno, too tender to want to press on it...

9:37 am

hurshy

is the skin discolored?

9:37 am

EvaNadine

i know i have a blood vessel right there, because when my finger is lump-less, i can see the blood vessel there

9:38 am

EvaNadine

no discoloration...just the usual blood-vessel blue color

9:38 am

hurshy

the whole lump is the blue color

9:39 am

bichon

have you ever consulted a MD about it?

9:39 am

EvaNadine

its a small lump...no discoloring from the norm

9:39 am

Atalante

it's much more fun asking us all to guess :P

9:40 am

EvaNadine

never have, seen the doc about it...always just assumed its a broken blood vessel -- i bruise very easily...

9:40 am

hurshy

well, if it is smushy, my vote is it is NOT cancer.

9:40 am

hurshy

also the coming and going indicates not cancer.

9:40 am

bichon

IMHO, I would call it a boo-boo. If it doesn't get better in a week, see the doctor.

9:41 am

Atalante

probably lupus

9:41 am

EvaNadine

strangely, now that i actually LOOK at my hands, i think the ring finger next to it has some bruising...
lump-free, that one is, though...
lol

9:42 am

Atalante

are there any au words?

9:43 am

EvaNadine

ill just add it to the list of things to ask my doctor whenever i finally get there...
i have random maladies that appear + disappear at their own whim...lol

9:43 am

EvaNadine

swelling ankles, dry skin, lumpy fingers...

Happy birthday, Teddy Roosevelt! He uttered the throwaway phrase "good to the last drop," after enjoying some coffee during a visit to the South and the company selling the coffee trademarked the comment. He spoke of the White House as a "bully pulpit," some of his supporters as the "lunatic fringe" and announced he was running again in 1912 by saying he was throwing his "hat in the ring," creating phrases with us still.

10:03 am

rururocks

"We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty
if we expect our republic permanently to endure.
Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite
to efficient service to the public.
Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life;
it matters not how brilliant his capacity."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

hootowl

Hmm - maybe I should put my Mystery Quiche in too. Good way to get rid of leftovers and no crust so calories are fairly low. Eggs are not my favorite either but The stuff you use for Chinese cooking makes them usually not taste like eggs.

Fish relates to an expression that when we miss an obvious word, or a plural or a past tense etc, then we should be hit with a fish.

Kje, the doctor wants me to try diazepam for a week before seeing an orthopedist. The doctor said I can have my usual glass or two of wine anyway, but the package insert says no. What's your view? I'd be taking 4 mg. for the night.

11:54 am

MonkeyGames

Mixed results in a web dsearch.

11:54 am

my view is.... i wouldn't have given you valium

11:55 am

kje

yay flosey... almost there

11:55 am

periwinkle

hello all

11:55 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about his handling of this, but his view is that I am suffering from muscle spasms and if this doesn't work (just at night) I can go see the orthopedist. I said I was willing to give it a week. It's just for at night, because this makes it very hard to sleep.

11:55 am

I would have prescribe more wine

Atalante

hi again :)

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Hello Ata. You're in the grid backwards, forwards and every which way.

12:09 pm

Atalante

I know! It's fab :)

12:10 pm

Atalante

haz, I have a very random question while you're here

12:10 pm

Haz1558

I'd be smug about it if it happened to me.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Okay. What's the random question?

12:10 pm

Atalante

does Mr Haz's vet practice have large animal vet nurses? Or do all the vet nurses deal with the pets etc

12:11 pm

Haz1558

The animal nurses tend to concentrate on small animals, although they would maybe help out on caesars on sheep if they're being done in the surgery.

12:12 pm

Atalante

hmm ty, I think that would be the case

12:12 pm

Haz1558

If an operation or procedure is being done on the farm, they would usually rely on farmers to provide the extra help.

12:13 pm

Atalante

I'm having a period of going back to my years-old wish of retraining as a vet or vet nurse. Not that I can remotely afford it!

12:13 pm

Haz1558

It would be horrendously expensive, you're right!

12:14 pm

Atalante

I know *sigh* it's always the one thing that's stopping me

12:14 pm

Atalante

but then I thought that training as a vet nurse would be much cheaper (it is). but more boring.

12:14 pm

Haz1558

The vet nurses do study for a qualification while undertaking on the job training, but a lot of their time is spent cleaning up you-know-what.

12:15 pm

Atalante

exactly. I could do 95% of a vet nurse job now

12:15 pm

Haz1558

They used to do work experience for school girls but found that most of them thought that vet nursing consisted of holding a pup's paw and whispering sweet nothings.

12:16 pm

Atalante

you mean it's not? darn

12:16 pm

Haz1558

Your illusions shattered?

12:16 pm

Atalante

absolutely

12:17 pm

Haz1558

I think an ability to deal with mess and nasty smells would be high on the list of requirements.

12:17 pm

kje

ata... if you are interested in being a human nurse instead, almost every place now has huge incentives for nurse school do to an international shortage... lots of scholarships, lots of cost cuts, higher post-graduate pay... just a thought

12:17 pm

Atalante

it's funny, when I had the chance to train as a vet, I wasn't old enough or mature enough to be good at it. Now, I'd be really good at it, but can't afford to do it

12:18 pm

periwinkle

bbl

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Hmmm. It's a problem. It's also one of the most over-subscribed courses at university. Before they would even look at you, you'd have to have done lots of work experience in farms etc.

12:19 pm

Atalante

*sigh*

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Bye peri.

12:19 pm

Atalante

not that any uni round here even *does* vet courses

12:20 pm

Haz1558

True.

12:21 pm

Atalante

so it's all a dream, really

12:22 pm

Haz1558

This is where people weigh in with talk of holding onto your dream and you can do it if you really really want to, but I won't!

12:23 pm

Atalante

lol yes .... actually I wonder if anywhere round here does do vet degrees that I don't know about. interesting to look anyway

12:24 pm

Haz1558

There's Cambridge, Bristol, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh for starters.

12:24 pm

Haz1558

And UCD in Dublin, of course.

12:24 pm

Atalante

nope. lol. London is the nearest

12:25 pm

LoriP

***I used to believe in dreams, but alas I came here and still am missing 13 words. So much for dreams..***

12:45 pm

Vicuna

Paddles? Is this a discipline issue now?

12:45 pm

LoriP

Go flosey!

12:45 pm

stidmama

no vi, this full-time + three credits AND volunteering 1/4 time in the school AND being a mom isn't conducive to creativity. *bummed out mama look*

12:45 pm

FMitch

"Row, row, row the boat"

12:45 pm

Vicuna

Poor, poor stidmama. I would argue that in my experience lack of creativity isn't conducive to being a good mom, but of course one does hat one can.

12:45 pm

caitlyn

Pouring a brandy... White jacket Haz I dont want my clothes messed up. now just sip this Lori

12:46 pm

Haz1558

Singing. While Lori chokes and Vicuna's here. Is this appropriate, FM?

12:46 pm

FMitch

Darn, have I got the wrong end of the story again?

12:46 pm

Vicuna

*what* not hat. Hats are irrelevant.

12:46 pm

stidmama

FMitch

1:12 pm

Vicuna

"The Aunt from Watford" sounds like a novel by Hardy or someone.

1:12 pm

caitlyn

Where is hubby when he is needed

1:13 pm

FMitch

Bea - asking Haz for apron patterns is just so not going to work - she will not compute the basic functional request there.

1:13 pm

BzznBea

LOL! I know. Adding a little levity to my day. =)

1:13 pm

Vicuna

And I'm sure it ends tr5/14-cally.

1:14 pm

FMitch

Oh to the UK based TV subscribers - who watched Little Dorret last night?

1:14 pm

caitlyn

me

1:14 pm

FMitch

What did you think?

1:15 pm

Atalante

nope

1:15 pm

FMitch

I enjoyed and was drawn in as it is not a novel I am familiar with

1:15 pm

caitlyn

Couldnt follow a lot of it , havent read it so dont know the story...you

1:16 pm

Atalante

I have an almost pathological dislike of Dickens

1:16 pm

caitlyn

Its on Thurs i think so will try again

1:17 pm

Haz1558

I'm so glad I'm not the only one, Ata.

1:17 pm

Haz1558

I love Anthony Trollope, just have never warmed to Dickens.

1:18 pm

FMitch

I find hi hard to read but try from time to time and I think this

1:18 pm

FMitch

BBC production will do it justice

1:18 pm

hurshy

i love the dickens... *feels lonely*

1:18 pm

Atalante

me too. I love trollope. but I just *can't* do Dickens

1:18 pm

Haz1558

Just reading back to see the apron request. They sell aprons in shops.

1:18 pm

caitlyn

still on phone............

1:19 pm

FMitch

Hugs hurshy with Dickens hugs

1:19 pm

Haz1558

I've tried to like him but I just find him wearisome.

1:19 pm

Vicuna

But the real question, of course, is what you would need an apron *for.*

1:19 pm

BzznBea

LOL! Thanks, Haz.

1:19 pm

hurshy

tyvm FM

1:19 pm

BzznBea

Looking for a "vintage" pattern.

1:19 pm

Haz1558

What would I need an apron for? To cook in, of course, or if you're doing some messy housework.

1:19 pm

Atalante

ditto

1:20 pm

hurshy

how vintage is vintage?

1:20 pm

Vicuna

And why would you do either of those things, pray tell?

1:20 pm

FMitch

These days Hurshy - proba 1950's 60's

1:20 pm

BzznBea

I'm looking for one that criss-crosses in back without tying.

1:21 pm

Haz1558

Because (a) my family likes to eat and (b) it's nice to have a clean house.

1:21 pm

Vicuna

Speaking of duties, my time has come. I'm off to meet the spawn. Later, all!

1:21 pm

BzznBea

Probably from the 50's.

1:21 pm

hurshy

haz just has an answer for everything, doesn't she?

1:21 pm

Haz1558

Those children again!

1:21 pm

Vicuna

Both valid points, Haz, but does the benefit really outweigh the cost?

1:21 pm

Haz1558

I don't have an answer for the square root of 3460958909808.

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Must better to starve in squalor (a phantom today) than lift a finger in work to change it!

1:22 pm

Haz1558

The benefits of a clean house outweigh the dangers of succumbing to germs. They're everywhere.... multiplying.

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Sigh. yet in about 15 minutes I will be racing madly around the playground until my lungs burst. It kind of makes housework look good all of a sudden.

1:22 pm

hurshy

and doing square roots!

1:23 pm

Haz1558

I know! Tricky little critters.

1:23 pm

Vicuna

(No no, Haz, we can learn to coexist with the germs! But I'm out of time to argue I'm afraid.)

1:23 pm

Vicuna

Bye!

1:27 pm

caitlyn

1:27 pm

FMitch

There are all these strange people I talk to on the computer all ove the world and they say hello :)

1:27 pm

Haz1558

I think she'd be impressed.

1:28 pm

Haz1558

Does she breathe regularly? You need to pick your moment when you see her chest expand.

1:28 pm

Atalante

nu6s - one an animal babblet, one simialr to an mu6

1:28 pm

Haz1558

But that's right. She's on the phone.

6:07 pm

stidmama

hello again friends! back for my last 34... still wondering about that ET word.

6:07 pm

Nef

the Spanish were very keen on converting all of the natives to their religion. Catholics couldn't eat meat on Fridays or during Lent back in the 1500's; so they had to call them a type of fish because the natives were so fond of them as a source of food

6:08 pm

6:52 pm

stidmama

oh nef... . *whimper* that sounds lovely!

6:52 pm

pam

I also think anyone who plays regularly and can afford internet connectivity should put some money aside until they have the fee and pay it--support the game's ongoing success

6:53 pm

stidmama

no bathtub, though. rather, the boys have one *shudder* and mine is filled with plants. *sigh*

6:53 pm

Lindrickway

I second that!

6:53 pm

stidmama

but I could have some honey lemon tea!

6:54 pm

Nef

I always think honey lemon tea feels good when I'm sick

6:54 pm

stidmama

I will have to whine at the children some so they will make the tea for me.

6:54 pm

Nef

how about a good hot shower then? It would loosen up the cold (all the steam)

6:55 pm

riemann

You can whine at me and I'll make the tea.

6:55 pm

stidmama

true enough. I can do that in a little bit, have to run out and switch cars with Tom in a few.

6:55 pm

stidmama

*whining at riemann, but certain the tea will be cold by the time it arrives*

6:56 pm

riemann

Unfortunately, it will be cold tea. I tried pouring hot tea into the modem once. Didn't work.

6:56 pm

stidmama

rofl....

6:56 pm

stidmama

riemann -- logs -- they work a little bit like exponents, yes?

6:57 pm

hurshy

they are the inverse of exponents, so yes yes

6:57 pm

Nef

muse

6:57 pm

stidmama

I know about exponents, so when I have to use logs these days I am just putting them back into what I understand, then converting them back when I have graph things.

6:57 pm

stidmama

thanks hurshy.

6:57 pm

riemann

Stid, logs are like exponents just like driving forwards is like driving in reverse.

6:57 pm

stidmama

go nef go!!!! *puts chocolate in PB*

6:58 pm

riemann

y = log (base a) b MEANS a^y = b.

6:58 pm

stidmama

that's what I thought. thanks for the confirmation. It was driving me crazy a couple weeks ago. I was working on the theory that what I did worked... but wasn't sure it was the right thing to do.

6:58 pm

Nef

(I should never chat when I'm working on a grid!) sorry

6:59 pm

stidmama

yes, I found a couple websites that said that. I still think most of it is just "magic" --

6:59 pm

riemann

And it took you 2 weeks to find my phone number? you're getting better!

6:59 pm

stidmama

:-P riemann, you're MEAN!

7:00 pm

8:00 pm

My mother (with the Italian parents) ate all kinds of veggies from Pa's huge garden that took up the entire back yard---rows and rows of everything, including grapes to make wine.

JBV

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

I am seeing many words that I missed this AM.

8:03 pm

LadyNatts

the beauty of the list is that I find words that I THOUGHT I typed in, but evidently did not (or typed too fast and babble expert couldn't keep up)

8:04 pm

BzznBea

I'm tired this evening.

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

Hi, red

8:06 pm

I agree, tired....

8:06 pm

LadyNatts

8:06 pm

JBV

left work early to meet my husband at his 3;00 doctor's appointment, saw the doctor at 4:15, then to the pharmacy, got home at 6:30 !

8:07 pm

pam

Wow, JBV....

8:07 pm

JBV

I know, very frustrating, especially since I did not have to leave work at all, could have left at my regular time and it would have been fine

8:08 pm

LadyNatts

help with the tr8, anyone?

8:08 pm

pam

frustrating is an understatement, JBV!

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

I hate when doctors run really behind, and I hate making parents wait with their kids. I try to be less than 20 min behind, but it is tough.

8:08 pm

8:10 pm

LadyNatts

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

Yikes, JBV!

8:10 pm

Nef

sorry, skipped a few letters, but carolvm gave it right

8:11 pm

JBV

not to mention that my husband is not in great shape to be sitting in a waiting room that long - he was suffering more than I was

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

I had to find tr6 first. Now I found both, TY.

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

Is he OK, JBV?

8:12 pm

8:12 pm

Nef

what's the matter with your hubby JBV?

8:12 pm

JillF

the second gr6/24?

8:12 pm

JBV

scrabbler, it's a very long and complicated story but right now we are visiting a stream of doctors trying to get the right diagnosis and course of treatment.....

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

I have a pl of gr5/14...gr5 mills.

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

Good luck, jbv!

8:13 pm

JBV

without being too specific (hubby is very protective of his privacy and I am respecting that) he is seeing a urologist, colorectal guy, orthopedic guy and infectious disease guy

8:14 pm

JillF

scrabbler, i think it is the one above that one...i have the milled thing/s

8:14 pm

BzznBea

gr6/24 - change the second vowel in the gr6 before.

8:14 pm

pam

can someone clue the tr 6/24? I am dense...

8:14 pm

Nef

Oh, Dear, JBV! That isn't a group I'd like to see! I hope he's feeling well soon!

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

Educate yourselves, ask lots of questions, make sure the internist helps you to sort it all out...good luck.

8:15 pm

JBV

thanks, Nef - at least I have my babble friends to cheer me up - you are all great!

8:15 pm

Nef

pam, an accident victim is a tr**** victim

8:15 pm

JBV

thanks, scrabbler, we are learning more than we ever wanted to know about all those body parts

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

It took me a while too, Pam.

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

There are many reliable sites on the web too. If necessary, get 2nd and 3rd opinions.

8:16 pm

Here goes: One of the presidential candidates was visiting an elementary school, and the 4th grade class he sat through began a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked the candidate if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy." So, the candidate asked the class for an example of a tragedy.

One boy stood up and said, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."

"No," said the candidate, "that would be an accident."

"I'm afraid not," the candidate said. "That's what we would call a Great Loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. The candidate searched the room and asked, "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, way in the back of the room, Johnny raised his hand, and in a quiet voice, he said, "If your campaign plane, carrying yourself and your running mate, was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, THAT would be a tragedy."

"That's right! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" asked the candidate.

"Well," Johnny said, "because it wouldn't be an accident and it sure as heck wouldnâ€™t be a Great Loss..."

rururocks

I have to have them very well cooked .. I understand..

11:38 pm

jillibus
