Volleymom.. good for you. I also suffer from RA. I keep active with some knitting.. glad to see you can do more. Pain is difficult.. how do you manage otherwise

3:44 am

LoriP

Thanks. Missing 2 a's, gotta' dig again.

3:45 am

sprite

just realised some of my missing Fs are the words I entered in the chat, to my shame. Doubly stupid to not realise I had to re-enter them where it counts :(

3:46 am

sprite

(now back to the Rs)

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

good days; bad days... take methotrexate every Tues; use a chiropractor for stretching; have shiatzu massagers; use Alleve... steroids several times a year... how about you clown?

VolleymomDee

hate when I do that sprite..

3:46 am

clownfacedhunter

me over 20 yrs...

3:47 am

3:47 am

tygerbryght

hey, peeps. I had 3.5 hours sleep, not trying to get sleepy enough to go back to bed

3:47 am

that is tough going, Dee and clown. Pain is a difficult thing to live with.

3:47 am

VolleymomDee

was dx'd in 1995 clown...

3:47 am

Thanks :)

3:48 am

tygerbryght

moving today?

3:48 am

tygerbryght

the other house sold already?

3:48 am

sprite

might even be at the new house now, tyger. And unpacking and stuff.

3:49 am

clownfacedhunter

the massage is great .. I am on metho..once a week.. and also injections for the last 2 -3 yrs. Very expensive

3:49 am

tygerbryght

oh, then that most likely means no clues at all for this grid, even late

3:49 am

VolleymomDee

what kind of injections?

3:49 am

sprite

tyger, hursh put up a list on babanon

3:49 am

tygerbryght

I hope they're going to be able to settle at this house, and not have to play musical houses anymore

3:49 am

VolleymomDee

I think I am on the cusp of needing more

3:50 am

tygerbryght

spritey, those are worse than useless to me :( but thx

3:50 am

sprite

so sorry to hear that, Dee :(

3:50 am

clownfacedhunter

Enbryl

3:50 am

sprite

why is that, tyger?

3:50 am

tygerbryght

all that moving is hard on a family, but especially the kids

3:50 am

tygerbryght

it just works that way, sprite. maybe because of the way the injuries altered my brain?

3:50 am

VolleymomDee

ty sprite ... just when I think I will ask for other med; I feel better, so must not be time yet

3:51 am

sprite

most literally on the cusp then, Dee. Tough place to be.

3:51 am

tygerbryght

there are some things that perk thru my brain very, VERY sloooooooooooowly, and this seems to be one. now, if I had several days to do it .......

3:52 am

VolleymomDee

I hate trying new meds... have so many medication allergies; hate to try anything new until it is absolutely necessary

3:52 am

tygerbryght

oh, volley, I SO identify with that. just last month I had a reaction to Cipro - had taken it before without probs

3:53 am

sprite

might be, tyger. Usually the clues on babanon are the same as lickety's: first 2 letters, length and points. Is there a way I could organise them for you so you can use them?

3:53 am

clownfacedhunter

keep it clean & safe I agree.. do what u can on what u have.. eat clean and be healthy.. if & when u can find good food

3:53 am

tygerbryght

I don't think so, sprite, but it's really sweet of you to offer. don't worry about it. I'll live without doing this grid :D

3:53 am

VolleymomDee

know that feeling... unfortunately one of the probs is they change the binding agents, so may not actually be allergic to meds, but the binders instead... bet that was ghastly tyger

3:53 am

sprite

new meds set up the entire balance. I know.

3:54 am

VolleymomDee

true clown

3:54 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

3:54 am

clownfacedhunter

i tried for so long to stay away from the chemicals.. but it is something different now..

ok tyger :) Just let me know if I can help.

3:54 am

VolleymomDee

and ty hurshy whereever you are :~)

3:54 am

LoriP

Congratulations Volley.

3:54 am

tygerbryght

maybe so, volley, and maybe a reaction to it in combination with some other drug I'm taking now, and wasn't before

3:55 am

tygerbryght

yay, volley!!

3:55 am

VolleymomDee

ty lori... have heard good things about your enbrel

da4. I was hoping for more ru, lol. Ok, then re it is...

3:56 am

sprite

thanks Dee!

3:56 am

VolleymomDee

I need to loose some pounds, which would help, but hard to lose when you aren't exercising or moving like a normal person

3:56 am

clownfacedhunter

and with the crippling and pain from the RA .. I really didn't have much choice...stick with what u r doing and all the best VolleyMom.. it is horrible.. I feel for you

3:57 am

VolleymomDee

where is most of your pain clown?

3:57 am

sprite

so tr4 that, Dee. I don't lose weigth even when I don't eat.

3:57 am

clownfacedhunter

feet, ankles, shoulders, neck..

3:58 am

VolleymomDee

frustrating, isn't it, sprite? I try to cook well, hubby stays fit, and I turn into a blob LOL. Same here, too, clown, but also having lumbar issues. Fortunately, sciatic nerve isn't affected at the moment (that makes me crazy)

3:58 am

clownfacedhunter

not as bad as it was years ago.. when I had to be lifted in & out of a bathtub.. because of my knees

3:58 am

sprite

truly ugly, clown :( So many places. Influences practically everything you do, I think.

3:59 am

VolleymomDee

may I ask your age clown?

3:59 am

clownfacedhunter

it is a bad .. almost 50

3:59 am

clownfacedhunter

I have ad this since I was 19

3:59 am

VolleymomDee

ahhh bet that was nasty clown. Have you had any replacement surgeries?

3:59 am

sprite

it is, Dee, but my pain is limited to the pelvic circle, back and left arm. Not as bad as you guys.

3:59 am

clownfacedhunter

no

4:00 am

tygerbryght

oh, clown, SO sorry to hear yours is so bad, so young

4:00 am

tygerbryght

lady a year older than me at my church has had both knees replaced, and all her finger bones

4:00 am

clownfacedhunter

but fell down last december and my bones have not quite healed yet

4:00 am

VolleymomDee

all pain is bad. I had a doctor friend describe it like a teeter totter; you can handle so much pain, then a little bit more comes and you are out of balance and in a mess...

4:00 am

sprite

awful long time too, clown. What do you do to make life worthwile?

4:01 am

VolleymomDee

fell last fall (2007) and tore up my foot... still have 3 very tender spots.

4:01 am

Patxxx

Hi clownfacedhunter, I too have RAsawn

4:01 am

tygerbryght

RA is one of the things I'm SO thankful I don't have. chronic pain is bad enough, without having all that remodeling, inflammation, etc., on top of it

4:01 am

Patxxx

Sorry.

4:02 am

VolleymomDee

praise God; many medical strides in treating RA; many worse things to have

4:02 am

tygerbryght

it seems there are a LOT of RA patients on here

4:02 am

clownfacedhunter

VMD .. I fell and had to have surguery.. and a metal plate to support the bone..

4:02 am

sprite

that is very tr4, Dee. I once fell and hurt my knee, about 8 years ago and the spot is still tender. But at that time I couldn't handle that knee on top of all the rest... while the rest was worse, lol.

4:02 am

VolleymomDee

at least they are trying to find us help

4:02 am

tygerbryght

that's true, volley, but still ....

4:02 am

sprite

hi Patxxx, welcome to that chat and why sorry?

4:03 am

clownfacedhunter

still is

4:03 am

clownfacedhunter

tibia & fibia

4:03 am

Patxxx

Before I was diagnosed I thought RA was just a touch of rheumatism. Far from it. I get angry sometimes because I have worked hard all my life and it seems unfair but then I snap out of it.

4:03 am

clownfacedhunter

one with the metal plate and one hat I don't thing is healed yet!

4:03 am

tygerbryght

that's another of the nasty things about RA, the slow healing

4:04 am

clownfacedhunter

the dr.. can't quite believe it...it will be clsoe to a year.. and ya.. I still feel it..

4:04 am

tygerbryght

easy to understand, pat. I think most of us with chronic conditions have to yank back from the start of a pity party every now and again

4:04 am

sprite

Pat, I think being angry is very normal in this situation. Great of you to be able to snap out of it again too.

4:04 am

clownfacedhunter

and now with the metal plate.. when it gets cold.. IT GETS COLD!!!

4:04 am

clownfacedhunter

and now with the metal plate.. when it gets cold.. IT GETS COLD!!!

4:05 am

VolleymomDee

there are several here with chronic pain of some kind; very helpful to share when you are hurting. I read Psalms when pain is at its worst. If David and Job can tell God how angry they are and then be uplifted by Him, I feel I can do same...

4:05 am

Patxxx

Hisprite, cos I added a grid word to my message - not concentrating, which is another effect of RA. Nuff said re RA now for me

4:05 am

4:05 am

arrgghh clown, that must be really unpleasant!

4:05 am

tygerbryght

Brrrrrrrr. I can just imagine. I'm very sensitive to cold. are you able to keep it well wrapped?

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

so true about concentration pat... glad to hear it is not just me; tend to repeat things which daughter hates. I forgot about plates getting cold.

4:06 am

sprite

ah, I did much worse earlier today, Pat, don't worry about it ;)
Nice to see you in chat, I hope you feel free to chat more whenever you want. About anything.

4:06 am

VolleymomDee

ditto what sprite said!

4:07 am

VolleymomDee

we have had terminal illnesses amongst friends lately - 2 cancers and lou gehrig's disease, so thankful not to have those...

4:07 am

Patxxx

Just a mo I have to ask questions now. My legs are always cold and I wrap them in everything but clingfilm, maybe I should try that. Is it bad circulation and if so what's godd for that?

4:08 am

clownfacedhunter

me too.. VMD.. thougt it was just u & I .. sorry to bore the rest of you!!!.. now let's get on with the game.. thanks for all ur advice.. nice to have people that can relate...!!! :)

4:08 am

tygerbryght

pat, have you tried insulated things, like down-filled?

4:08 am

VolleymomDee

not sure, I am usually hot (inflammation often causes higher temps)... so I am rarely cold.. might also try silk long underwear

4:09 am

tygerbryght

and how about other kinds of layering?

4:09 am

VolleymomDee

not a bore clown; very helpful to share and support one another

4:09 am

tygerbryght

silk underwear is *very* warming

4:09 am

sprite

I second that wholeheartedly, Dee. Have seen much worse pains and conditions than mine lately. I try to be at peace with mine and make the best of it. Though sometimes I am angry, pathetic and rebellious about it, lol.

4:09 am

clownfacedhunter

Thank You .. Nice to Know

4:09 am

VolleymomDee

was trying to think of online catalog I used to buy some, and I am drawing a blank

4:10 am

sprite

not at all boring, just sharing, clown. Chat has room for silliness and pain, good ne4 and bad.

4:10 am

tygerbryght

if you don't know where to find silk undies locally, try searching online. I have some I bought years ago, and used when I lived in Michigan

4:10 am

Patxxx

Hi Tyger, I have tried lots of things and most of them make me look so unsexy and elephantine etc etc, which sometimes makes my kids laugh. It is funny sometimes.

4:10 am

VolleymomDee

I think that is human sprite. When you see folks older who can do many more things, it is hard not to be furious.

4:10 am

tygerbryght

sprite is SO right. we have some pretty strange conversations on here sometimes

4:11 am

tygerbryght

hon, comfort has to come first, when your health is involved - and it is, in this case

4:11 am

VolleymomDee

This place is a true blessing. I am so thankful for my babble, friends!@

4:12 am

broll

I just got a "Wintersilks" catalog in the mail yesterday.

4:12 am

tygerbryght

silk undies are quite thin, and you just we4 them under normal clothes. but they come with long sleeves and long legs, just like men's longjohns

4:12 am

sprite

when the legs are really cold, insulating doesn't help much, I have found. There must be some heat to BE kept within to start with. When sitting still it may help to put your feet on a hot water bottle. And insulate, of course. But on the walk, I wouldn't know.

4:12 am

loredana

so grateful you are here volley

4:12 am

clownfacedhunter

VolleymomDee.. enjoy your game and freshness of your flowers.. thanks for your support.. til next time.. keep on the Babble!

4:12 am

VolleymomDee

I had a wonderful time in NC though... their barometric pressure must not be as crazy as Indiana's... felt much better there

4:12 am

tygerbryght

I've bought from wintersilks years ago. didn't know they were still in business

4:12 am

sprite

this place wouldn't be the same without you, Dee

4:12 am

VolleymomDee

ty bro wintersilks is the one I was trying to remember! You, too, lore, and hugs!!!

4:12 am

Patxxx

I bought some thermal leggings at M&S. Great, I thought, but whilst they work the fit is so bad. I went to the supermarket and by the time I got home they had stretched big enough to fit the veggie section in.

4:13 am

broll

WinterSilks.com

4:13 am

VolleymomDee

and, you, Sprite! That's the one bro.

4:13 am

sprite

hi broll

4:13 am

tygerbryght

pat, the silk doesn't stretch out like thermal fabric does. it stretches, but comes back to shape

4:13 am

loredana

hello broll

4:13 am

VolleymomDee

wintersilks.com was expensive, but worth the extra dollars

4:14 am

tygerbryght

shipping to the UK might be awfully expensive, broll. that's why I suggested she search online

4:14 am

broll

Hi all. Been lurking, trying to finish, it's 5:00 a.m where I live.

4:14 am

VolleymomDee

4:14 am

oh my, broll, another sleepless night?

4:14 am

4:14 am

Boll, thanks for website.

4:14 am

tygerbryght

oh, yes, volley. silk feels *wonderful* :D

4:15 am

tygerbryght

well, peeps, I think it's time for me to try to go back to bed. nytol

4:15 am

broll

Yeah, these darn big ones. If I don't finish, my computer cuts off the last part of the list when I come back. Makes it really hard to finish!!

4:15 am

sprite

lol Pat, love your words about your dog!

4:15 am

sprite

bye tyger, sleep well now!

4:16 am

Patxxx

I have an american cousin who's in the US at the mo. She lives in Devon, UK too. She might be able to help me get some and bring them back to UK after Xmas. Ta everyone!

4:17 am

sprite

sounds like a plan, Pat!

4:17 am

VolleymomDee

Hugs and much love to each of you! You are very dear. My favorite prayer: from Ps 143... "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have placed my trust in you. Show me the way that I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." He is our refuge, our stronghold in time of trouble ... let Him bring each of us rest and peace and preserve us to the morrow!!! Hugs & poof!

Have bookmarked wintersilks.com BUT why would a Florida based company (warm climate) supply WINTER silks warm enough for cold climes like the North of England?

4:32 am

broll

Hey, they probably just distribute them. Wouldn't you live somewhere warm if you could?

4:33 am

I used to like the ones that had a sense of humor - with sean connery and roger moore -

9:13 am

JBV

the last one with Craig was very dark

9:13 am

mkg

so you are in israel now kje? are you enjoying it? my son lives there.

9:13 am

kje

they just said the new guy is the most true to the books... i don't like him though... not near as sexy as others

9:14 am

kje

mkg - I am virtually traveling until jan 20 when we get rid of W... a useless form of protest of the ineptness in the current administration

9:18 am

JBV

by the way, kje, does ian fleming's estate make any money on all these movies?

9:18 am

kje

not sure

9:18 am

mkg

kje, i am just hoping the next is better cuz i am very worried. i was not happy with either choice when i voted. my husband wrote in someone he was so upset.

9:19 am

kje

they interviewed his daughter (?) and she said he was often on set when the first ones were made, and though not true to the books, he thought they were "great fun"

9:19 am

SharonRA

morning everone. Is lickety not working today?

9:19 am

pam

Hi, all!

9:19 am

pam

Niece--if you are watching CBS, kje

9:20 am

kje

well, mkg... i am pretty sure no one could be worse... so at least there is that. and i think the one we will have is bright, motivated, and will surround himself with intelligent people

9:20 am

kje

OK... niece... at least i got the gender right - LOLOL

9:20 am

mkg

kje,

9:21 am

SharonRA

Hi Pam

9:21 am

mkg

he is also questionable as to corruption............there were many links with stuff i find awful. for example this organization that paid people to sign up voters and then were found to be corrupt. and his reverand was an issue. you dont spend 20 years hearing that stuff and come out unscathed.

9:21 am

mkg

and his chief of staff is someone i hear is very corrupt and has shading dealings.

9:22 am

pam

hhi, kje, LOL

9:22 am

mkg

his chief of staff is some jewish guy. and i heard he is extremely corrupt.

9:22 am

kje

mkg... there are multiple sides to everything, and i think there are differeing news reports out there.. but one thing i feel confident of is that he beats the alternative

9:23 am

pam

His chief of staff served in a civilian position in Israel druing Gulf1, think he is in intelligence...googled him all night when the announcement was made, saw no corruption, just tenacity, must do more research

9:23 am

JBV

mkg, I don't know what you have been listening to or reading but I urge you to have an open mind

9:24 am

pam

I agree... i think the whole guilt by association thing is dangerous.... McCain's former ministerial counselor said hitler did god's work... no one thinks McCain thought that....

9:24 am

JBV

the McCain campaign was nothing but mudslinging at the end - Obama took the high road and did not sling back, that's probably why we haven't heard about "corruption" etc on the other side

9:25 am

pam

I am hopeful that bridges to all from all can be built... I am hopeful that hate takes a back seat to teamwork, that religion and race will soon be characteristics and not criteria, I am hopeful that talk bests bullets...

9:26 am

pam

I am hopeful....

9:26 am

kje

we have heard of it though... he bungling of the campaign funds, palin's 2 ethics violations charges, mccains involvement in bad political dealings in the 70s... whatever! the point from here is that we have a new president-elect and we should at least give him a chance... there is way too much fear mongering out there and it can get dangerous if people don't cool down a bit (like all the recent reports of guns selling out)... chill US.. that is what i say

9:26 am

JBV

so true, pam, and that's what has been missing for so long - a sense of possibility

9:27 am

9:28 am

pam

nice, harp!!!!

9:28 am

kje

azerbaijan - LOL pam... what a choice

9:28 am

BerniceQ

I have been lurking but I feel I have to respond to MKG's statements. ACORN is not corrupt. Anyone who registers voters gets money for each registration they get. People ACORN found to register voters filled out false registrations to get the money. ACORN saw they were false, but are legally bound to turn them in. They turned them in but alerted the election board to the several they thought were false, because they were legally not allowed to discard them themselves. The individuals who wanted to be paid for each registration were the ones at fault, not ACORN, which made every effort to remove the false registrations from the rolls.

9:29 am

featherbee

san, these aren't just people playing a game. these are friends and people who have known each other a long time. this is a different kind of chat room that you usually see.

9:29 am

JBV

thanks, Bernice, thought it but didn't write it

9:30 am

kje

all I am saying, is give peas a chance!!!

9:30 am

san100

everyone is so special.....why dont you just chat outside the game?

9:30 am

squirtle

Hello everyone

9:30 am

pam

San, if you don't want to chat, you can hide chat... Azerbaijann and Armenia don't have flags.. I want pretty

9:30 am

featherbee

san, if it bothers you, click on "who's online" or "my friends" and hide the chat.

9:30 am

kje

hi squirt

9:30 am

harpjane

why don't you sit back and figure out the norms of the group before you criticize it, san?

9:31 am

featherbee

also, san, if you want clues, feel free to ask. people will always stop chatting to help with the grid.

9:31 am

Kazzer99

afternoon all comps finally playing ball

9:31 am

mkg

bernice, that is good to know. thanks for the info. here in md. you go to a library or motor vehicle to register and no one is paid that i know of. i dont feel you should be paid.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Hello Kazzer - how did the shopping expedition go?

9:31 am

harpjane

what do you guys make of the rush on gun purchases since Tuesday?

9:32 am

BerniceQ

mkg, people who go out on the streets or to community events to register people get the money. it's not much money. i have done it, though i donated the money to the organization i was working under.

9:32 am

JBV

mkg, perhaps you misunderstood, voters were not paid to register, but the workers who go out to collect signatures were paid

9:32 am

san100

thanks featherbee. And to Harpjane.......dont take opinions as critiques...that is what is wrong with the world. I can ask any question I want.

9:32 am

bfsog

hey all im back

9:32 am

mkg

got it jbv. got it.

9:32 am

harpjane

of course you can, welcome san

9:33 am

mkg

anyway i am just praying that obama can suceed as this nation is in deep doodoo now.

9:33 am

JBV

it's probably easy for unscrupulous people to falsify the records in order to finish their shift early and collect their salary

9:33 am

Kazzer99

very good haz - had a brill sale on in Evans - buy one gt one free - so got ma's xmas pressie and a nice jumper for work. even had lunch out. The new shopping centre in Bristol is very good

9:33 am

JBV

we all agree on that, mkg

9:33 am

featherbee

(not that i can help with clues personally, i haven't done the grid today! just hanging out here.)

9:33 am

kje

i chalk it up to fear mongering on the right, harp... obama did not run on gun control, hasn't actually mentioned it too much... but gun owners are convinced that their right to own guns will be abolished... i find it somewhat fascinating (in a sad way)

9:33 am

pam

I think the run on guns is fear, harp......

9:33 am

Haz1558

Good, glad it was successful. Lots of shops seem to be having pre-Christmas sales, don't they?

9:33 am

pam

LOL, Feather. I am not starting the grid, either...

9:34 am

harpjane

fear of the unknown, i guess

9:34 am

mkg

i am pretty stuck at 166 words. only have 2 of the 8s so if anyone has all, would love clues. i have 2 re words that are 8s.

9:34 am

san100

thanks!

9:34 am

JBV

nice flag, pam

9:34 am

Obama supports gun ownership that is regulated. Does not support automatic weapons in civilian homes--me, either

9:34 am

Shirlockc

i never understand why having a gun is the solution to a problem

9:34 am

harpjane

personally I LOVE it when the Christmas sales start before Christmas!

9:34 am

Kazzer99

9:34 am

pam

thanks, jbv...

i wish we could have a world without guns. truly i do.

9:35 am

That's what I use, kje

Hope it goes well, peri!!!!!

9:50 am

kje

pam - i also keep fat free evaporated milk in the cupboard in case i run out of 1/2 and 1/2.... works well as a cream substitute and doesn't have all the fake stuff like fat free 1/2 and 1/2 does... a habit i started while in europe since they used canned evaporated milk a lot for coffee

9:50 am

periwinkle

thanks, pam, I am very hopeful

9:50 am

Gray coffee is a HUUUUUUUGE pet peeve of mine.....

Have you tried Vitamin B and magnesium, peri?

9:52 am

kje

exactly pam... coffee should be dark, strong, robust, full-flavored... and cream/milk should be real

9:52 am

pam

Oh, again, we agree, kje!

9:52 am

periwinkle

I have tried magnesiuim 250 mg at night, not sure if that is enough

9:52 am

periwinkle

which Vit B are you referring too, pam

9:53 am

pam

I take that much magnesium twice daily and a B complex that has quercitin in it. Also B12, sublingual.

9:53 am

periwinkle

there is Vit B in the multi vit. I take

9:53 am

pam

But get the good stuff, as I recently discovered, the non-standardized CVS left me deficient--money down the drain....

9:53 am

periwinkle

maybe I should increase my Vit B and magnesium. will look into that , pam, thanks

9:54 am

periwinkle

where do you buy the vit b, pam

9:54 am

pam

I take a separate B Complex as I don't eat meat. It makes a huge difference. I don't believe Multis have enough, unless they are really "stoked>"

9:54 am

pam

ON sale at Vitamin Shoppe or WHole foods, peri.

9:54 am

periwinkle

I don't eat meat either

9:55 am

periwinkle

pam, you take a vit B, complex and vit b12 sublingual?

9:55 am

pam

When I don't take the B's--think I don't need them or get lazy--I get more restless, and sleep mor epoorly... Psychosomatic, maybe

9:55 am

Yes, I do peri.

Walter has announced that he would like to help set the table. That's my little trooper! For those who missed it he fubmbled a heavy stoneware plate onto his foot last night and scared me to death, but he's escaped with only a vivid blue line and doesn't mind shoes and socks on, so, whew. Glad he wants to get right back on the horse!

10:55 am

10:58 am

MonkeyGames

I should. Instead though I've been writing down his other stories, like teh time the moon was collecting contrails and storing them in a tree, or thw time he and Daddy rode a jackdaw into the dog's side and became trapped, but were able to find their way out the end of her tail.

10:58 am

12:16 pm

12:16 pm

hurshy

12:16 pm

Uneaixoise

why is that, hursh?

12:16 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

12:16 pm

hurshy

i just went on my bank website and my credit card info is temp unavailable

12:16 pm

Hugabugs

yes, hursh did... and thanks to you hurshy I finally completed it

12:16 pm

cybernan

not ready for it yet, but am sure I will be

12:16 pm

hurshy

so i used the live chat to ask why and if they knew when it would be back

12:16 pm

nancethefan

hey teena

12:17 pm

Hugabugs

I got down to 28, then caved in

12:17 pm

nancethefan

yay bugs

12:17 pm

hurshy

and i get this poor guy in india, who they force to label himself as 'sean' in order to chat with americans

12:17 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, that makes me nuts . . .

12:17 pm

hurshy

and he doesn't have access to the info i want because live chat is a new feature for them and they haven't got it fully up and running

12:18 pm

nancethefan

don't you hate when that happens hursh?

12:18 pm

hurshy

and he is so so so apologetic

12:18 pm

nancethefan

i always need money, but i don't always have any :o(

12:18 pm

hurshy

and he's worried because people give him low satisfaction ratings

12:18 pm

Uneaixoise

aw, poor guy!

12:18 pm

hurshy

and he's tripping over himself to talk about how he wants to make his customers happy, we are their bread and butter and he honors and respects us

12:19 pm

nancethefan

why are you rating him?

12:19 pm

hurshy

(gee, how did i figure out he was in india)

12:19 pm

hurshy

you know, when you do live chat they do a little survey after to see if you got the help you needed and whatnot

12:19 pm

cybernan

from the top right a: have ar 4 x2, ar 5 x2 and ar 6 -- what am I missing, please?

12:19 pm

hurshy

i said, what is it, 11 PM over there? you have to work all night, don't you?

12:20 pm

hurshy

i said, on behalf of my spoiled country, i apologize.

12:20 pm

Uneaixoise

another ar5, nan

12:20 pm

hurshy

and yet he just keeps ... grovelling isn't quite the right word but... it's amazing, NO sense of unfairness

12:20 pm

nancethefan

ok - i know what you mean - i always try to give people a good rating unless they are mule butts

12:21 pm

cybernan

ha -- just noticed my name is in the grid (real name as well has cyber name)

12:21 pm

hurshy

they haven't given him the info he needs to do the job and then he gets low ratings bc of it... so i told him if his bosses give him a hard time, tell them [my real name] says they are idiots

12:21 pm

cybernan

found it

12:22 pm

nancethefan

have him tell his bosses to come into this site & we will handle his rating - lol

12:23 pm

hurshy

and i hate to think how little they presumably pay him

12:23 pm

nancethefan

i know - that's why the jobs are overseas & no longer here in the states

12:23 pm

Uneaixoise

relatively speaking, those jobs pay "well" . . . and are considered high-prestige . . .

12:23 pm

Aloyisius

hey, hurshy... thanks so much for the list

12:23 pm

hurshy

but he's just grateful. i guess appropriate since that is one of our themes for today. i *hate* that we are so spoiled

12:23 pm

Uneaixoise

I saw a documentary about it . . . can't remember the name

12:24 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, hursh, many thanks for the list!

12:24 pm

cybernan

have re 8 x2 and th 8 -- what is the 4th one?

12:24 pm

do you know some HD TVs are manufactured in Mexico where the workers get paid $5 (US) a week.

12:26 pm

movieman

the re7/48 plz

12:26 pm

Uneaixoise

in the documentary, it was really shocking to see how desirable the jobs were and how happy people were to get them . . . then to see them go home and see the poverty . . .

12:26 pm

hurshy

i really appreciated that they did that scene in ocean's 13 where they highlighted how little a raise the protestors in mexico were asking for...

12:26 pm

nancethefan

terrible isn't it?

12:26 pm

hurshy

cut wood again

12:26 pm

ty hursh

12:28 pm

hurshy

they can call their indian workers "sean", but they'll never fool us into thinking they're americans - their genuine politeness just gives them away

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

nancethefan

i spoke to a man with the name of Tom - it was evident his names wasn't Tom - lol

12:29 pm

hurshy

and you know, it's one thing to hire them and yeah they are good jobs over there and so forth but the fact that they ARE trying to "hide" it with english names is beyond irritating

12:29 pm

hurshy

i mean, at least be transparent about your business practices

12:31 pm

nancethefan

yes it is - it must be company policy - we need to send msgs to the company telling them we know what they are doing & to quit having there CSRs select their nonethnic games

12:31 pm

hurshy

esp if you really believe they are ethical

12:31 pm

Uneaixoise

they all have "English" names and go through intensive training, including role play, etc. to make them "American"

12:32 pm

nancethefan

well - they need more work at it - lol

12:32 pm

hurshy

i'm sure i don't speak for everyone, but i for one do not wish to be kept in this imaginary bubble where only Americans exist and we're encouraged not to think about what the rest of the world faces

12:32 pm

nancethefan

i tried to pin one CSR down to find out their location - they wouldn't give it up

12:33 pm

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Women's names without doubled consonant?

It's a 4... both are 4's...

12:46 pm

12:47 pm

OK! Now we could well be missing the same two but otherwise we could be very valuable to each other. Hmmm...

Well, it's kind of a long story that boils down in the extreme to: we felt 15 1/2 years ago that the political situation there was just going to become increasingly corrupt and superficial while the corporate situation would become ... oops brb...

1:12 pm

pam

ahhhhh, monkey

1:13 pm

nancethefan

brb - the dryer is buzzing & it is very annoying - see y'all in a sec

1:14 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, back. Friend called to ask if he dropped his space pen outside our door, but no. So anyway, we read for a year about places one could go...

1:15 pm

Jamocca

need help with 3rd "u" word

1:15 pm

pam

that sounds like a lot of planning, monkey!

1:15 pm

jam - plural of the second

MonkeyGames

And being young, naive artists at the time we settled on Amsterdam, partly because one could learn the language after arrival. In th eyears since we have matured and settled down and abandoned Amsterdam for more sedate and comfortable Haarlem.

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Planning.... hmmm. Well, yes an dno. We picked teh destination, sold everything we owned for $3000, packed up some backpacks, and bouight one way tickets.

1:16 pm

pam

It's great that you found work....and a life 8-)

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Well. We were illegal for 7 years, had to collect bottles in the park to return for money for food, had no heat for a couuple of very hard winters, Iw as seriously injured at two illegal manual labor jobs...

1:18 pm

pam

UGH, that sounds really hard, monkey!

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

But now we are citizens, my husband works full time, and I am ten weeks away (all going well) from a Bachelor's degree in social work (in Dutch). But it has NOT been a breeze.

1:18 pm

pam

WOW, monkey! Thanks for sharing.

1:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Shucks, it's hardly classified info. Things were hard, it happens...

Well, I am glad it's passed...

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Now we have our beautiful son, have scrabbled our way into quite a decent neighborhood in a great city, and are starting to feel a shred less morally exhausted. But the years have FLOWN by... I'll be 40 in January! How the heck did that happen???

1:21 pm

MonkeyGames

Right now I am I admit frazzled out of my mind. Getting this degree in Dutch has been at least three times as hard as I thought. Started out with a class of 32 and now (including three new people) we number 7, as well, and they were all native speakers! But tenmore weeks... ten more weeks... then I may start behaving like a sane person for a change.

1:22 pm

pam

That is amazing, to get the degree in Dutch!!!!!

1:22 pm

nancethefan

where are you originally from monkey?

1:23 pm

Judi

Good afternoon one and all. Just curious, Monkey. Why so long in the illegal category?

1:23 pm

MonkeyGames

Dutch is a deceptively difficult language. But Walter (in the icon pic) is being raised bilingually, which provides a cognitive advantage. He's been speaking some English with Dutch grammar lately-- cute as heck!

1:23 pm

nancethefan

hey judi

1:23 pm

MonkeyGames

Born in Mass., USA, moved to CAl (South and the Notrth) at 3. Illegal so long because our immigration lawyer recommended (correctly) not applying for residency until we had managed to save up 10,000 guilders to start a business.

1:24 pm

yes pav... hursh posted in bab anon... jac in her profile

1:24 pm

nancethefan

walter is just toooooooooo cute - tell him auntie nancy says hi - we all could be his aunts & uncles - lol

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Now we are fully naturalized. Dual citizenship is not allowed except in rare cases, so we are JUST Dutch. Walter's never been American.

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Awww, shucks, thanks. I'll tell him in the morning. Yes, I grew up with family friends being autie this an duncle that, and you folks are some of my best friends, so that's aperfectly workable premise.

1:26 pm

nancethefan

i didn't realize dual citizenship wasn't allowed everywhere

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Nope, it's even fairly rare.

1:26 pm

nancethefan

awwwww you are so sweet monkey - we are proud to be aunties & uncles

1:26 pm

pam

this seems like the third grid where cursade and crusader are phantoms for me, LOL

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Here it is allowed in certain cases like being married to a diplomat, or coming from somewhere that doesn;t allow you to renounce your birth citizenship, or, as everywhere, having a sh**load of money.

1:27 pm

pam

it works much as your desktop, nance

1:38 pm

PAV3

between the un-old and response...

1:38 pm

pam

I have wireless built in and it "reads/connects" to my dsl modem

1:39 pm

pam

All new laptops have wireless cards built in

1:39 pm

lynxxx

an4.4 and latin plural an5 sounds like an6.30

1:39 pm

nancethefan

so i don't have to have a cell phone account to use it?

1:39 pm

pam

Some of the older models require a wireless card, so if you are getting a new one, it's a non-issue, but for an older, it is an issue

1:39 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, back. Sam sounded EXTREMELY vague tonight but I could hear that there was something going on in the background, I think a visiting nurse, and he said he was distracted, so I asked if I should call tomorrow and he felt that was a good idea. So now you foolks are stuck with me again!

hello all, back to find 89 words

3:29 pm

nancethefan

back - just played a little Bubblez at gatorarcade. it is a fun mindless game to play if your brain begins to hurt from seeking words on the grid. i learned a new method in bubblez - you have to have 3 or more of the same color bubblez to eliminate them. i found, by accident, that you can bank a bubble off the sides to make 3 or more of the same color hence eliminating them - lol - it really is a brain relaxation game - LOLOL

3:29 pm

there can't possibly be too much onion in a stew!

Remove the onions, add water.

I love onions and garlic

if you are concerned just had more veggies -- have you got mushrooms and bell peppers in it?

4:38 pm

carleekat

ok..remove some onions...add broth not water....and more other veggies ( cook in micro in broth first...to bring up to speed with others in stew )

4:38 pm

It may taste better than it smells nrkii

4:38 pm

i've been adding beans to my beef stew

4:38 pm

The onions will disappear anyway

4:38 pm

I have 6 carrots, 6 stalks of celery, 3 big potatoes and 2 big onions

I live alone, and I have enough beef stew for 10 people

4:38 pm

freeze the stew, is what i do

how do you freeze it? what kind of container?

4:39 pm

cybernan

you can always freeze some of it nrkii

4:39 pm

Scrabbler

And parsnips

4:39 pm

Shirlockc

any container that's freezer safe

4:40 pm

cybernan

whew! eses done and 16 t's and w's left

4:40 pm

lynxxx

several small plastic containers so you don't have to unfreeze it all when you want some

4:40 pm

bearofthep

believe it or not - but freezer bags work really well for stew. Lay them flat to freeze. Then you can stand them up (like books) in the freezer. They take up the least amount of space.

4:41 pm

carleekat

i have apple butter "stewing" away right now..its just thickening now

4:41 pm

Scrabbler

4:42 pm

bearofthep

I usually just thaw the bags in the fridge. Put them in a bowl or pan just in case they leak. I often double bag things that are very liquid-y just in case. But most of the time I have no problems at all!

4:43 pm

nrkii

yep, nellie has been with me for a while here on babble

4:43 pm

5:07 pm

Scrabbler

An orthopod wouldn't see him tonight even if it we** broke, so I advised elevation, ice, and ibuprofen. Then we can see him in the Am and get an X-ray.

5:09 pm

lbdawger

hey, scrabs. when do little people learn volume and speed control in their speech?

5:10 pm

Scrabbler

It is a gradual process, acquired with teaching and feedback.

5:10 pm

Scrabbler

3 yr olds typically have some stuttering and stammering because their brain creates thoughts faster than their mouth can get the words out.

5:11 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, okay, that's kinda what i thought. wont worry about grandson's speech pattern or my hearing yet.

5:11 pm

6:19 pm

milesndale

6:21 pm

kje

miles... do you have the re6... te6 is an anagram of the re6

6:21 pm

6:23 pm

milesndale

6:23 pm

stidmama

LOL lady (and feather)

6:23 pm

featherbee

yep, one for a while now, daniel, just a minute ago

6:23 pm

stidmama

how's daniel now? back to his normal routine? how's his hair? you left suddenly the other night.

6:24 pm

herinfernallady

Pam you have face book?

6:24 pm

featherbee

anyone ever use a neti pot?

6:24 pm

pam

all the time, feather...

6:24 pm

featherbee

ohhhh, lol, yeah, he did take a little trim, but you can't see it. i had forgotten that he had the scissors out.

6:24 pm

stidmama

no feather, just the squish-bottle thingyh.

6:24 pm

EspritdJean

no, only have heard of them

6:24 pm

EspritdJean

supposed to be quite good for you

6:24 pm

pam

yes, herin--we are friends...

6:24 pm

featherbee

do you have to have the pot, or is there some way you can do whatever it is you do without it?

6:24 pm

herinfernallady

So you saw my note?

6:25 pm

pam

some adults use nasal syringes...

6:25 pm

featherbee

my mom is telling me i should try one, but i don't want to go get one this minute.

6:25 pm

stidmama

the squish-bottle is easier I think, because you don't have to tip your head back.

6:25 pm

stidmama

it works pretty well for me when I need it.

6:25 pm

EspritdJean

garden hose

6:25 pm

pam

I can't recall, herin, no offense, but I have been bombarded with messages re: Prop 8 and all of the hate...

6:25 pm

stidmama

LOL Esprit!

6:25 pm

stidmama

ooh. I have 102 words!!!

6:25 pm

EspritdJean

;-p

6:25 pm

brid

i believe you can mix salt and baking soda with warm water and cup it in your hands and sort of, uh, gently snort it up one nostril at a time. But that's always sounded dicey to me.

6:25 pm

featherbee

dare i get gross enough to ask how? what do you do? and roto rooter sounds good about now esprit

6:25 pm

herinfernallady

It was a note about what if Martin Luther King took no as an answer

6:25 pm

pam

With the pot, you lean forward....and slightly tilt the head...

6:25 pm

featherbee

lol brid

6:26 pm

EspritdJean

have you tried Mucinex?

6:26 pm

pam

Some people I know look up into the shower head...

6:26 pm

pam

Hm,mmm, herin, don't know if I have seen that...

6:26 pm

stidmama

yes, snorting works too, but the squish-bottle can irrigate the very back of the sinuses, hold on, I'll look up the name. It wasn't very expensive

6:26 pm

featherbee

mucinex is for the chest isn't it?

6:27 pm

EspritdJean

no any congestion

6:27 pm

PastorJ

look on line for "hypertonic solution" to get the right balance of pickling salt (don't use table salt) and baking soda

6:27 pm

featherbee

do you just squirt it up there stid? my apologies to everyone for the grossness of the conversation, but i'm desperate!

6:27 pm

herinfernallady

BIrd that sounds like a very gritty way of clearing a head cold. I would rather snort Wasabi.

6:27 pm

brid

a hot wet washcloth over the sinuses works really great for sinus pain and pressure.

6:27 pm

PastorJ

you can snort it or use a baby syringe - gross but it helps

6:27 pm

brid

lol, seriously.

6:27 pm

pam

I love the neti pot, though sometimes, I end up with a blocked ear, because I have such eustachian dysfunction in my left ear... still it really, really works great

6:27 pm

brid

cya! gla

6:28 pm

stidmama

http://www.sinucleanse.com/product/squ
eeze.htm This is different from, but similar to, the one I use and apparently availble across the U.S.

6:28 pm

featherbee

my congestion is all in my face and ears right now. cheekbones hurt, jaw hurts.

6:28 pm

stidmama

later brid

6:28 pm

herinfernallady

later Bird

6:28 pm

EspritdJean

maybe you're in need of an antibiotic feather

6:28 pm

stidmama

oh feather... (((hugs))) try a warm washcloth held to your face and ears. that always soothes me

6:29 pm

herinfernallady

Feather go turn the shower on hot close the door steam up the room then shower

6:29 pm

stidmama

yes, hot steam is what Mother used to do for us, also.

6:29 pm

featherbee

yeah, i've been wondering that esprit. can't go to the doc tomorrow though, parent teacher conferences.

6:29 pm

EspritdJean

or hot hot water in the sink with a towel over your head

6:29 pm

featherbee

i was thinking of a second shower today, while i try snorting water up my schnozz.

6:30 pm

EspritdJean

with some of lady's wasabi

6:30 pm

stidmama

feather, I use sudafed when I am in a lot of pain. the more-available phenylephrine doesn't work well enough on congestion.

6:30 pm

barbaloo

i still do not get the te 8

6:30 pm

stidmama

of course, if I take it at night I can't sleep...

6:30 pm

featherbee

i was wondering about that stid. i do have pseudophedrine in the cupboard, as well as the phenylephrine. was wondering which was better.

6:30 pm

herinfernallady

Bar do you have the Te 6 27?

6:31 pm

EspritdJean

at least do a steam

6:31 pm

pam

both would keep me up at night....

6:31 pm

stidmama

you might try the phenylephrine and hot steam now... and the sudafed in the morning. Just skip your morning coffee!

6:31 pm

barbaloo

no

6:31 pm

featherbee

i'm ready to go to sleep right now. no worries there. coffee....UGH!

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

Ok it means this: a transportation system in which cars or other carriers are suspended from or run on wire cables or the like, esp. one operated by electricity.

6:32 pm

EspritdJean

you've just gotten a load of free advice from all your babble monnies

6:32 pm

featherbee

ok, going to go drug up, steal one of nick's nose syringes, and hit the showers.

6:32 pm

herinfernallady

8:40 pm

jillibus

and seeing what that to7/7 combo is, I get annoyed again (as usual) at enable's spelling

8:40 pm

jillibus

to6/7 I mean

8:40 pm

kje

OK, start one in scrabble proper

8:41 pm

AsGreen

well, we just wordscraped.... why scrabble this time? I can do a rematch on that one... it's up to you

8:42 pm

OK... just make sure you start the same board... otherwise you get random bizzaro boards

8:43 pm

AsGreen

milesndale

miner, are you sure you're clueing the right tr5? i think we have gthe one you are trying to clue. only one tr5/18 in the group.

8:52 pm

AsGreen

8:52 pm

kje

asg - why are you alone?

8:53 pm

kje

8:53 pm

jillibus

9:02 pm

kje

asg... you still here???

9:02 pm

jillibus

I was 11 when it actually happened -- didn't hear much about it in Shanghai -- we had our own war with the Japanese fighting the Chinese to contend with.

9:03 pm

pam

I think it's my old mactop--that I love unconditionally, dorens!

9:03 pm

kje

here is the message I got from scrabble on FB... "Amanda Stone Greenblatt could not handle the heat and deleted the Scrabble game named "ASG vs KJE"."....roflmao

9:03 pm

AsGreen

Pam, my kids are in 4th grade. I told them about the evening and suggested going to services - the services definitely mentioned it, but more focused on the adult b'nai mitzvahs that were occuring on Saturday. Still, my son did come out of his room worried about it all happening again here...

9:04 pm

AsGreen

kje, it said my turn yielded 0 points - ZERO...

9:04 pm

pam

I was shown life-size pics of the camps, and then some--I don't even know how old I was in 4th grade--8. 9 Anyway, it was HORRIFYING to me...

9:04 pm

pam

LOLOL, Kje!

9:04 pm

kje

just quoting what it said asg...

9:06 pm

AsGreen

I think I was in 4th or 5th when the tv mini series aired, and it was horrifying to me too. Jilli, I'm am amazed that you lived through all that too in Shanghai... what a world we live in, huh? Makes me very thankful for where we've gotten to!

9:06 pm

AsGreen

I know kje, I know - I've seen that message before too...

9:06 pm

jillibus

Must go and get supper, also watch 60 Minutes (PST) -- back later hoping for a NICE small one next time

9:07 pm
