12:42 am

VolleymomDee

2:14 am

loredana

hi ursh

2:15 am

Hello jakes-mum.

FMitch

Good, glad it went well

Haz1558

It was fun - lots of sampling afterwards and they came up to try all the napkin folds etc.

3:22 am

FMitch

what starter suggestions did you do?

3:23 am

loredana

Fireworks for me

3:23 am

Haz1558

Minted melon cocktail, gingered pineapple and kiwi, melon and sorbet. Fruit is the demonstrator's friend. Good for you, colourful, easy to prepare ahead of time.

3:24 am

loredana

LoriP you found that elusive C yet?

3:24 am

LoriP

Nope. There are only 26 c's. :)

3:25 am

loredana

All that studying it must of sharpened up my brain

3:25 am

Haz1558

This grid looks inviting.

3:25 am

FMitch

mmm like the sound of those esp the melon and sorbet

3:26 am

LoriP

So far it's fun, but they're always fun at the beginning.

3:26 am

FMitch

not too bad so far but am still on the first run through

3:27 am

Haz1558

It's always nice when you can see words straight away, it kind of gives you hope.

3:29 am

loredana

Cs 4 x10 , 5 x 8 , 6 x 5 ,7 x 4 for loriP

3:30 am

Haz1558

I hope it isn't an omen. French and English words for cold, white stuff in the grid.

3:31 am

LoriP

It's a 6. Perfect. Thanks muchly lore. :)

3:31 am

loredana

3:31 am

Haz1558

Toodle-pip, lore.

3:31 am

FMitch

Night lore :)

3:32 am

Haz1558

Spooky!

3:32 am

LoriP

haha, t'was a plural. No comment. Thank again lore

3:33 am

Haz1558

Goodness, fancy you missing a plural, Lori.

3:33 am

LoriP

Thusly, I finally greyed the bottom row. Now I can set th screen properly. :/

3:33 am

FMitch

so unusual!

3:33 am

LoriP

Such a rare event, isn't it Haz.

3:34 am

Haz1558

Extremely rare.

3:34 am

LoriP

Perhaps I'll jot it on the calendar.

3:34 am

joshuavorbis

does the babble board really take up nearly your entire screen, lori?

3:35 am

Haz1558

No, the ten year diary might be best.

3:35 am

LoriP

It's such an old, small monitor josh.

3:36 am

joshuavorbis

reminds me of the prehistoric computers i used to use

3:36 am

Haz1558

It is an ag6/30 monitor. It needs L'Oreal with Pro-Elastin.

3:36 am

joshuavorbis

now i have a fancy new imac, and the babble board is about the size of a coaster

3:37 am

Haz1558

That would be no use for ladies with ag6 eyes. Not that Lori is as old as me.

3:38 am

joshuavorbis

well, one of the cool things about macs is you can hold down the control key and scroll with your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom waaaaaay in or out with ease :)

3:38 am

LoriP

I'm an oil of Olay kinda' gal. :)

3:39 am

LoriP

You get used to old monitors when 'yer old. :)

3:39 am

Haz1558

You and me both, Lori.

3:39 am

joshuavorbis

they're not old monitors, just experienced

3:40 am

Haz1558

It amuses me greatly to see all the adverts with fancy imaginative ingredients.

3:40 am

FMitch

since when was 42 classified as bring old, huh?

3:40 am

LoriP

lol josh

3:41 am

LoriP

'elastin' is my personal fave.

3:41 am

joshuavorbis

42 isn't old, it's the answer to the fundamental question of the universe

3:41 am

FMitch

it is indeed :)

3:41 am

LoriP

42 is old-ish

3:41 am

Haz1558

And why do they use models with not a wrinkle in sight?

3:42 am

Haz1558

Why am I asking stupid questions?

3:42 am

FMitch

lol

3:43 am

LoriP

Self explanatory. Not me though, I'm quite secure in the ag*** process, and not the elast bit afraid of the wrinkles the spawnlings gave me.

3:44 am

joshuavorbis

got all the w's on my own. i am so proud of me

3:44 am

Haz1558

But do your children not help to rejuvenate you? It's what happens to all the celebrities.

3:45 am

Haz1558

The fact that their face is pulled as tight as a drum is neither here nor there.

3:47 am

FMitch

so many of the words I want today need a t, sigh.

3:48 am

LoriP

Yea josh! Spwanlings rejuvenate????? they're predators.

3:48 am

Haz1558

I'm trying to use that ish ending but enable isn't being very imaginative. gonish for when you're not quite out of the door, dannish for being Mr Quayle-like.

3:49 am

joshuavorbis

haz, that 2nd one is very close to an actual word in the grid

3:49 am

FMitch

take a letter out of mr Quale for a sweet treat

3:49 am

Haz1558

And I don't think ingeish is going to be much use either.

3:50 am

Haz1558

It's why I gave Mr Quayle a double consonant helping.

3:50 am

FMitch

would that be like sort of demanding a list?

3:51 am

Haz1558

Something along those lines. She'll be happy today.

3:52 am

LoriP

I'm sure there;s a collective sigh of relief at Lickety's triumphant return.

3:53 am

FMitch

lol just tried go5/16 and it worked

3:53 am

Haz1558

I would think so.

3:53 am

bfsog

fireworks, but now i cant babble anymore :\

3:53 am

LoriP

Congratulations bf.

3:53 am

FMitch

congrats bf

3:53 am

Haz1558

Congratulations, bf. Is this a curse that has been visited upon you by a passing pedlar?

3:54 am

bfsog

indeed he granted me 3 wishes but i didnt read the small print

3:54 am

Haz1558

You must always read the small print.

3:55 am

LoriP

Small print gets you every time. This involves your immortal soul I bet.

3:55 am

bfsog

well i know that now! one of my wishes should have been tp up the small print font

3:56 am

Haz1558

This is the sort of stuff they should be teaching in schools.

3:56 am

Haz1558

What's the use of knowing about triangles and things when you're left not knowing about reading small print?

3:57 am

FMitch

weeee found a 9

3:57 am

bfsog

i should visit a school in thei lucn hhour and pass on some valuable life lessons!

3:57 am

LoriP

Especially when ones soul is at stake.

3:57 am

joshuavorbis

change one letter for the other 9, FM

3:57 am

LoriP

Yea for FM!

3:57 am

joshuavorbis

i mean, that wasn't a hint/clue, forget i said anything

3:57 am

Haz1558

They'll not let you in, bf, until you've had a full police criminal record check.

3:58 am

FMitch

lol josh

3:58 am

bfsog

ah theres nothing on there!

3:58 am

Haz1558

What sort of youth did you have?

3:59 am

Haz1558

No indiscretions at all?

3:59 am

bfsog

plenty, but i was a fast runner

3:59 am

Haz1558

Or maybe the surveillance cameras were switched off at the time.

4:00 am

bfsog

yes... switched off... thats what it was!

4:00 am

Haz1558

Another g and we could have leggings back again. As in bf was noted for his youthful leggings.

4:00 am

bfsog

4:01 am

Haz1558

bfsog

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Hello everyone. Another big grid. Yesterday was a day of relative rest.

5:40 am

jean1953

hello Scrabbler:)

5:40 am

LoriP

G'd morning Scrabbler. :) Nice grid so far.

5:40 am

Atalante

back for a bit :)

5:40 am

Atalante

and perfect timing, scrabs, I have a question for you *angelic innocent spaniel eyes*

5:40 am

LoriP

You getting a 'Head' start today? ;p

5:40 am

Scrabbler

I don't know much about spaniels though.

5:40 am

LoriP

wb Ata. Hobbit subdued for now?

5:41 am

jean1953

hello Atalante:)

5:41 am

Atalante

I don't think anyone does. They are a world unto themselves

5:41 am

Atalante

yep - she ate a dogfish intestine

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Great source of protein...*GAG*

5:42 am

Atalante

but quick question - is there any way to search for specialists in the US that deal with certain specialities (ie weirdo autoimmune conditions!)

5:42 am

LoriP

Ahh, then hobbit's life is now whole. Unlike the net mangling shark.

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I would go to the Cleveland Clinic or NYU or Mayo Clinic--major medical hubs. What city would be easiest to go to?

5:44 am

Scrabbler

West coast? I know you go to oregon a lot.

5:44 am

Atalante

we;re just starting to try and look further afield for options for Claire - her surgeons here have basically now admitted they can't do anything, and they can't recommend any automimmune person, so we're reduced to trawling the net etc for brilliant people anywhere!

5:46 am

LoriP

What about Cedars -Sinai Scrabbler?

5:46 am

Scrabbler

One way they COULD help would be to look at the medical literature and see the names of the top US specialists publishing studies and articles....but we can do our work too.

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Yes, west coast: UCLA, UCSF, among many.

5:46 am

jean1953

coming away from the grid for a while bb

5:46 am

LoriP

Pop off an e-mail Ata, and I

5:47 am

Atalante

I'm sure they *could* do a lot more, but they aren't going to. And I'm sure I can find the same info as them if I try!

5:47 am

LoriP

***stoopid enter key*** I'd be glad to help search

5:47 am

LoriP

Later jean, great to see ya'.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

**looking at Cleveland Clinic site...and my friend is a neurologist there too**

5:48 am

looney

imiised what you were searching for but i would like to help your search

5:49 am

Atalante

ty lori, you are the best! I just wish claire had something easy to describe and find someone for, but "unknown autoimmune disorders" is so vague

5:49 am

looney

ive done much medical research in regards to my daughter

5:49 am

LoriP

Ata, if your Health system is like ours, you have to advocate and be aggressive, or they'll surrender quickly.

5:50 am

LoriP

I may surprise you Ata. Totally up to you, but I'm glad to help if I can.

5:50 am

LoriP

With #3 and his vision problem, I kicked ass from here to there until he got help.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Looney--my middle name is Looney

5:51 am

looney

nice to meet you

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Ata, what about insurance coverage for her in the US?

5:51 am

LoriP

My outlook is looney! G'd morning

5:51 am

looney

my daughter had an immune disorder

5:51 am

Atalante

any help is most welcome! we're just trying to find *anyone* who works with automimmune diseases and seems willing to look way far outside the box. Actually, we want House. but a real one. but no lupus

5:51 am

looney

i spent forever looking

5:51 am

LoriP

lol, it's always Lupus on house. :)

5:52 am

LoriP

Searching medical papers is a good start. Seeking dr's theories and clinical trials, IMO

5:52 am

Atalante

maybe we should get her tested for lupus anyway. just to see :P

5:52 am

Atalante

I'm sorry to hear that looney, I can imagine!

5:53 am

LoriP

I love when they say Lupus on House. Uni and I latch right on to it.... :p

5:53 am

looney

what are the symptoms

5:53 am

LoriP

what country are you in Looney, if you don't mind saying.

5:53 am

Atalante

I spent yesterday evening looking through medical papers, and bookmarked a few to go back through over the next few days

5:53 am

redturtlehead

Hi all!

5:53 am

LoriP

G'd morning red

5:54 am

looney

im in the us. houston tx

5:54 am

Atalante

you name it, she's got it. from general crohn's symptoms to non-healing, to bone disintegration to constant infection!

5:54 am

redturtlehead

this grid is more like it!!!!

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Another place, Ata, is Mount Sinai in NYC--we send kids there that have complex allergy/immunology issues.

5:55 am

LoriP

Thanks Looney, appreciate that. Isn't Texas somewhat laden with good Medical Centers as well?

5:55 am

Atalante

*writes down*

5:55 am

Scrabbler

5:56 am

redturtlehead

hi Scrabbler

5:57 am

Atalante

we officially can't take claire out of the country, but if we were bringing her over to a hospital, I'm sure it would be a different matter. We just have to try and do *something*!

5:57 am

LoriP

I also might suggest you scour blogs as well.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Is there any place in Europe that is better than what you are getting now, Ata?

5:57 am

Atalante

oooooo good idea!

5:58 am

looney

have they tested her for lymes disease yet?

5:58 am

LoriP

I imagine you've already been here http://www.immunetolerance.org/researc
h/autoimmune/

5:58 am

Atalante

I'm looking, Scrabs, I'm working through france at the moment!

5:59 am

LoriP

I got some good leads from blogs in the past. Just a thought

5:59 am

redturtlehead

The American hospital in Paris is quite good, but having had health care in Paris at the not American hospital, i was less impressed.

5:59 am

crosshair

good morning everyone;)

6:00 am

Atalante

it's a brilliant idea, lori!

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Also: National Institutes of Health in US.

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

6:01 am

LoriP

G'd morning cross. Feeling better and betterer every day?

6:01 am

looney

6:01 am

crosshair

6:01 am

Scrabbler

LoriP

***inappropriately giggles every time she sees Lupus***

6:04 am

crosshair

as they told it to me the last time i did this,the chemo continues to work in the system for up to a month after the last treatment,hench the wait for final diagnosis

6:04 am

Atalante

oh so do I, Lori

6:04 am

Atalante

"get an LP!

6:04 am

looney

atalante..... have her tested for LYMES DISEASE

6:04 am

crosshair

you goggle cause you think/lupislupine and see my pretty lil wolf icon;0

6:04 am

crosshair

goggle?...giggle

6:05 am

looney

if the test comes back negative have it done again

6:05 am

Atalante

we don't really have Lymes Disease over here, looney. but I guess we could try anyway, they have ticks in france

6:06 am

looney

didnt have lymes diseasw where we wre eith or so they thouoght

6:06 am

Atalante

can't that be treated with antibios though?

6:06 am

crosshair

we get something like it out west,rocky mtn spotted fever from wood tics or so ive heard

6:06 am

looney

my doctor did the test 3 times before he got a positive

6:07 am

looney

it doesnt always respond to the testing

6:07 am

redturtlehead

it would be unusual for someone not in the US to have lymes.

6:07 am

looney

its a very trickey thing that attacks the immune system

6:07 am

LoriP

Lyme disease etsts routinely produce false negatives.

6:07 am

redturtlehead

I had rockey mt Spotted fever crossy....it was a horrific thingy.

6:07 am

looney

yes they do lori

6:08 am

crosshair

i can just imagine it was red

6:08 am

looney

my daughter developed allerges that wee life threatning had the blister burns looking things on her face and arms and chest

6:08 am

looney

had trouble fighting infections

6:08 am

LoriP

Lyme disease was confirmed in Nova Scotia a few years ago. People still remain very unaware of where it exists in Canada.

6:08 am

looney

joint problems

6:09 am

looney

just a multple of things

6:09 am

redturtlehead

but the thing is, once you start on the Meds i really got better quickly.

6:09 am

LoriP

The rash is a pretty static even in Lyme though 'specially early on, and one would remember that. I don't remember Ata ever mentioning that.

6:10 am

looney

i never saw the bulls eye type rash on my daughter

6:10 am

Atalante

and she's been on at least 4 types of antibios for over 10 years now, I think one might have got it

6:10 am

crosshair

i think im almost seeing the word for the instrument that detects radiation,but im not sure..might be a phantom...:/

6:11 am

Scrabbler

phantom, crossy--E and R do not touch

6:11 am

LoriP

Has she ever had a period of grace Ata? As in, ever symptom free?

6:11 am

Atalante

nope, she's 35 now and beengetting steadily worse since she was 18

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I assume she was tested for HIV, Ata?

6:12 am

crosshair

thought so scrabbs..i better put the kettle on for sum tea

6:13 am

Atalante

actually, you know, probably not! HIV testing can't be done here without specific approval

6:13 am

LoriP

HIV testing wasn't done???? Wow

6:13 am

Atalante

but with the amount of surgeries she's had, I'm sure the hospitals would know, even if they wouldn't say anything

6:13 am

LoriP

I'm shocked.

6:14 am

crosshair

im sitting here stunned at the thought of that test not being done as well

6:14 am

Atalante

why would they? you don't standradly tested for hiv here

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Make sure she gets that test, Ata! And T-cell counts, phagocyte functions, ...BASIC immune functions: T and C cells, complement levels...

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, Ata! If you don't know someone has HIV then you cannot treat someone for HIV.

6:15 am

LoriP

As a blood recipient in 1987, when the Canadian system had just begun HIV testing in January of that year, I requested HIV testing at several poitns in time after that. paranoid....

6:15 am

redturtlehead

To be honest if she had HIV testing for any reason she would have to give consent. its not routienely done here either but ith her on going symptoms, to be honest if she had untreated HIV by now....

6:15 am

Atalante

I dont' think I know anyone who has ever had an HIV test. Apart from Lori now!

6:15 am

crosshair

i recieved blood products all through that period as well lori and have had the test

6:15 am

LoriP

Honestly, I'm shocked. that'd be the first thing to rule out, in mu non medical opinion.

6:16 am

redturtlehead

I've had about 6....because of my work with medecins Sans Frontieres...

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I thought that too, red, she has been ill for 14 yrs.

6:16 am

LoriP

cross knows. It was peace of mind. For me at least.

6:16 am

oodleberry

looney? are you from tangleword?

6:16 am

LoriP

True enough Scrabbler, red.

6:16 am

crosshair

indeed lori,i was run over by a car that year and took 4 pints of blood on board

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I can stay a few more minutes, I was just stating what I have to look forward too.

6:23 am

LoriP

I could prob'ally learn the medical side, but my bedside manner would get me fired. I applaud you scrabbler, because I would prob'ally tell people to smarten up and engage some common sense.

6:23 am

redturtlehead

Smiles broadly, stating, I have the day off...but am still recovering from Sunday...

6:23 am

Atalante

lol same here, lori

6:24 am

Scrabbler

But, Crossy, the Mad Momma's KNOW that the antibiotic is necessary or else Junior won't get better.

6:24 am

crosshair

crossy looks out the window....and sees 2 feet of snow:((((

6:24 am

LoriP

People seem somehow offended that their chidl ahs a totally ordinary illness that will go away on its own. Everybody wants a magic wand.

6:24 am

JBV

6:24 am

LoriP

***Lori is glad she's not lookin' out crossy's window***

Atalante

6:32 am

6:32 am

as my son gets older christmas feelings used to fade untill we teamed up and took a portion of what we would of wasted on each other and shared it around,we go to the church and do gift baskets for familys that are having it tough this year.one year we did a teddy bear drive for toronto sick kids hospital so that every child stuck in there over christmas got a bear..many things to do and the warm feeling that returns is a great thing

babs...borax peroxide mixture sounds harsh... not sure about dog skin, but on human skin, that would cause more problems than good

8:43 am

8:43 am

Ouwachita

thanks rabble

8:43 am

Judi

Mange does tend to be seasonal. We had to dip our dog three times this summer.

8:43 am

Babs1

well...you dilute with 1% solution of peroxide and water

8:43 am

o-o

thanks, Uneaixoise

8:44 am

Judi

I don't think Borax can be considered a "natural" remedy.

8:44 am

Judi

What was the heartworm remedy?

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

for what, BR?

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

sorry, judi, don't remember . . . but when I got her they assured me she was heartworm-free and my vet agreed :-)

8:45 am

Interesting, Une. Not that we've ever had that problem, thank goodness.

hi flosey

8:48 am

Judi

Have to have my kitty wormed when he goes in for his physical. He's indoor/outdoor, eats birds, mice and baby rabbits and drinks from streams. He may or may not have worms, but I'm going to have him treated as a precautionary measure.

8:49 am

kje

hi flosey

8:49 am

Uneaixoise

good idea! :-)

8:49 am

oodleberry

ew

8:49 am

Babs1

"A definitive recipe is add 1-2 tablespoon of borax per 500 cc of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution. To make a 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1%, roughly get one part of 3% H2O2 plus two parts of water. Then apply them on the dog. Wash with this solution daily, no rinsing.

8:50 am

Babs1

how much is 500 cc?

8:50 am

9:11 am

oodleberry

you have seen signs that say suasages for sale Haz?

9:12 am

Haz1558

I think we whinge.

9:12 am

Judi

Brits are the only ones who spell it that way, Deeha. Here in the U.S., we whine.

9:13 am

Haz1558

I've amalgamated one sign saying suasages and another that says sausage's.

9:13 am

Deeha

Obviously I amn a person who doesnt know her aspirant from her - er - anywhere else

US-ians whine, UK-ers whinge. My son does both, as well as whimpering, grousing, grumping, grouching, pouting, and peeving.

9:13 am

Absolutely, Haz. If we can all survive that long.

9:21 am

Haz1558

Just think. You still have the teenage years to come.

9:21 am

Vicuna

As for the Daughter of Glory, she, too, is a genius, as well as being Good All the Time, intelligent, charming, cheerful, a complete airhead, and a Maker of Major Messes. It's part of her wondrous creativity.

9:30 am

9:31 am

9:31 am

Haz1558

2 9 letters, 6 8 letter words.

9:31 am

jacq

ty and ty for the clue to the other 9

9:32 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

9:32 am

jacq

i see gangrene in the grid lol

9:32 am

mkg

no r in grid. too bad. would be 400 words.

9:33 am

Haz1558

There is an r.

9:33 am

jacq

would make it an interesting ordeal

9:33 am

HAZ, popped in for a min to find the second 9. Thanks SOOOOO much' On with the work til later

9:33 am

jacq

not in the right place lol

9:33 am

You're welcome, Pat - have a good day at work.

9:34 am

oops yes r on first line. sorry.

9:34 am

hurshy

*whimper*

9:35 am

Haz1558

Spit it out, hurshy.

9:35 am

hurshy

oh, well, my coworker is pregnant and i just found out that they have been saying stuff to her about possibly cutting her job, which if it is pregnancy related is of course not legal

9:36 am

hurshy

and i'm anxious to hear the news about the birth center where my sister had her baby last year, because the board of trustees met this morning to discuss whether to close it

9:36 am

jacq

if they want to get rid of her they will find a reason, she needs to access her personnel file to make sure she agrees with everything in there

9:37 am

Haz1558

So, things are out of your control?

9:37 am

hurshy

and i'm worried that at some point they will realize that i don't have enough to do either and reduce me to part time, thus destroying my income

9:38 am

hurshy

yes, things are out of my control. (assumes haz is admonishing her thereby to not worry)

9:38 am

Haz1558

No, just trying to establish your state of mind.

9:38 am

jacq

sounds stressful, very stressful hurshy

9:38 am

hurshy

it is stupid, if i were not good at what i do, maybe i could spend all day on it. efficiency is supposed to be a good thing.

9:39 am

Haz1558

The most frustrating sort of worry is when you can't do a lot to stop things happening.

9:39 am

jacq

but if your co-worker is expecting she will take maternity leave and you will have her workload, also she will need time to go to clinics etc, so you will take on some of her workload in varying degrees

9:40 am

jacq

i agree with Haz

9:40 am

Haz1558

You're a wise woman, jacq.

9:40 am

hurshy

yes, that is true for the maternity leave time. but i would hate to have them do something wrong to her for the longer term and then it becomes a good thing for me. i would feel very upset about that as we have a lot in common and i like her very much.

9:41 am

Haz1558

All you can do is to make sure that she knows what her legal rights are. You aren't responsible for whatever decisions other people take.

9:41 am

jacq

if she takes maternity leave, they have to keep her position open for her return, they can't change it drastically without crating a possible law suit

9:41 am

Atalante

*yaawwnnn*

9:42 am

jacq

*creating

9:42 am

hurshy

yes, she knows about all the legal things. more than i do.

9:42 am

Haz1558

I hope you covered your mouth, Ata.

9:42 am

Haz1558

That's good. It's not as though you're trying to hoodwink her or take advantage of her position.

9:43 am

jacq

there is also a chance hurshy, that she may not want to return to work in the same capacity herself, babies do that sometimes, finding good childcre isn't always easy

9:43 am

kje

have the ec6... anyone know what the other E is from that middle bottom row?

9:44 am

hurshy

yes, i think she is not yet sure what she will want.

9:44 am

that means that for your peqace of mind, your employers will be aware of that risk, and they won't want to make permenant changes to your contracted hours till they are sure what's happening

and hursh... love that you used a peot in your clue : )

9:46 am

hurshy

i know that practically, jacq, but i guess it's just unsettling to find that someone might be treated unfairly. i mean, it shows that in principle, anyone could be treated unfairly. it's like that whole, i didn't say anything and then they came for me thing

9:46 am

jacq

nods, i undestand your concerns

9:46 am

hurshy

but i would say something if they don't come to their senses, which they probably will anyway.

9:53 am

10:03 am

Atalante

any time I'm feeling grumpy, I take a look at them and immediately cheer up

10:03 am

Haz1558

She's probably never smoked and drinks 300 litres of water a day.

10:03 am

Atalante

she'd be dead then

10:03 am

yes Anne is very pretty, her trek up Kilamanjero is very ambitious

I've never heard of some of them. I haven't watched any of it, just read the names in the paper and wondered if I had been asleep for 10 years.

10:32 am

Atalante

10:32 am

FMitch

Same here Haz apart from substitute web for newspaper

10:32 am

Some time soon, hopefully, reality TV makers will think of something better to do.

10:33 am

Merk

Many of the longer words are made so by adding the sing/s and ies. That was what enabled me to finish this before lunch. Fireworks.

10:33 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Merk.

Atalante

10:42 am

Haz1558

I've checked!

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

are you trying to spell: whine

10:42 am

Atalante

*grins* ok I really believe you:P

10:42 am

Haz1558

No, we know how to spell whine. This is a variation, to whinge. It means the same thing.

12:24 pm

LoriP

Congratualtions kje!

12:24 pm

elder

Ata, poor lass.

12:25 pm

LoriP

She can't give up Ata. The answer is there.

12:25 pm

Atalante

yes, it is. it'll depend on whether her body keeps going long enough for it to be found

12:25 pm

kje

later... good luck all still working on the grid

12:28 pm

we just need to find a doctor that's interested enough in her conditions to be pro-active about treating her!

12:28 pm

Judi

I'm back to finish this sucker. *rolls up sleeves*

12:28 pm

caitlyn

Hi Judi

12:29 pm

LoriP

wb Judi. Ata, she has you to advocate, taht's 1/2 the battle!

12:29 pm

caitlyn

Well said Lori

12:30 pm

Atalante

I just wish I actually could help her apart from just supporting her. Though I do get to change her wound dressings if I'm really unlucky lol

12:32 pm

LoriP

Wounds are gross. A lot of people are bothered by doing that stuff. Not me though. She's lucky to have you.

12:32 pm

Atalante

it really is disgusting. but I've seen worse, and disgusting doesn't bother me!

12:32 pm

LoriP

Muh god, finished the a. Thought I ahd entered the ai word. Apparently not....

12:32 pm

caitlyn

Is she confined to bed ?

12:33 pm

Atalante

kind of. officially, yes. unofficially, she ignores that as much as possible

12:33 pm

elder

Ata, expect you have done this.. put her symptoms etc in medical site to see if there any suggestions, then check what consultants there are.

12:34 pm

caitlyn

At least she still has fight in her, Im sure that will keep her going

12:34 pm

Atalante

the problem is she has nothing that any of her doctors can diagnose apart from being an autoimmune disorder / blood disorders. So at the moment, I'm going through all the NHS websites looking for autoimmune doctors that sound like they would be prepared to look at something different

12:34 pm

LoriP

Set up a blog, as well as reading them. i guarantee someone can relate to her.

12:35 pm

Atalante

that's another good idea

12:35 pm

LoriP

Oh, and I officially hate the letetr G.

12:36 pm

Atalante

me too

12:36 pm

elder

Ata, I thought you may have, sorry. Good idea LoriP.

12:36 pm

Atalante

she's under the care of a very *very* good surgeon. but he's basically saying now that there's nothing else he can really do. so we need to find someone else!

12:36 pm

LoriP

7 g's still mising. Ack

12:37 pm

LoriP

Spawnlings will be home soon, they'll think I sat here all day wrestling with this grid. lololol

12:37 pm

Atalante

lololol you didn't?

12:37 pm

caitlyn

And now its time for me to rattle pans in the kitchen and pretend that Im cooking !!

See you all tomorrow, bye

12:38 pm

Bye cait.

LoriP

Have a good day caitlyn!

12:38 pm

LoriP

***shoots Ata 'the look'*** :p

12:38 pm

elder

LoriP. I cannot imagine why they would think that.

12:38 pm

Atalante

I don't know, but he's treated her for over 10 years now, and I can't imagine he's left any route untouched

12:39 pm

elder

of course not.

12:39 pm

Atalante

so when he says he's out of ideas, it's rather worrying!!

12:43 pm

elder

.. and my layman thoughts would not have helped. you are doing all you can.

12:43 pm

Atalante

oh they do, elder! any thoughts help!

12:44 pm

LoriP

elder, you never know where a good idea can lead. Anything can help.

12:44 pm

Atalante

exactly!

12:44 pm

LoriP

Are the w's normal? I'm missing 3

12:44 pm

12:44 pm

Atalante

12:45 pm

elder

Lorip, pretty much normal.

12:45 pm

Atalante

***I have PMS, don't make me feel sappy*** :p

12:47 pm

Atalante

the hardest thing I always find is being cross with her - she's always been a brat, but the illness is making her a complete nightmare some days, and you want to just scream at her, then you can't cos it';ll make her feel worse, but then you have the right to yell ... and it goes round in circles!

12:47 pm

elder

I have been inundated with people wanting to know the answers to the dreadful case of Baby P. I like others am so horrified. ( not in my area ).

There I was going to Walter's school with the cargo trike and he biked up to RIGHT behind me and started rining his bell like crazy, so I moved over to the side I was closer to to let him by and that was the side he had decided arbitrarily to pass on, and the HE yelled at ME. Talk about rude. Yes, annoying.

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's not how it works, katie. life is not that kind. reality is you do what you are told.

3:26 pm

KatieMcG

Yep but make sure you don't do more than your level!

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

and there are plenty to step in to do what you refuse. it is no victory

3:26 pm

Atalante

don't do more than you are paid to do!

3:26 pm

Guillemets (pronounced /ËˆÉ¡ÉªlÉ™mÉ›t/, or /É¡iËÉ™ËˆmeÉª/ after French [É¡ijmÉ›]), also called angle quotes, are line segments, pointed as if arrows (Â« or Â»), sometimes forming a complementary set of punctuation marks used as a form of quotation mark.

3:51 pm

oodleberry

4:20 pm

Dorens

when weather is nice i love to walk in the woods near my house, or around the lake... but i don't love the cold and i certainly don't go out there in the dark.. and for the next few months that means little opportunity... i don't get home much before dark during the week

4:20 pm

redturtlehead

4:20 pm

kje

Hi Pam!!!

this one was caused by persistent loud sound... seeing as how I survived a rock concert a couple weeks ago (okay, it was low-level rock, the transiberian orchestra) with the same ear plugs, I can only surmise the noise level was way more than reasonable even for deaf people

7:01 pm

Gabby...to get a list of the first 2 letters of all words in the grid: Open --Lickety's List-- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

10:04 pm

Pinikula

nice work!

10:05 pm

Trifioso

I think I work best of the tile stats, and not too much off the word Lists. I tend to get stuck with the list, trying to find each and every combo listed....gets really stressful!

10:05 pm

Pinikula

there are 2 9-poiners!

10:05 pm

cjmomma

thinking both are ge 5,14 ...one in 3 column and 4th column

10:05 pm

10:08 pm

Pinikula

thx cj

10:08 pm

Pinikula

trif...do you have an4/4 ... like licorice?

10:09 pm

Trifioso

yup. I just checked the lickety list and it looks like I am missing one of the AN 4/4s

10:09 pm

Pinikula

(oh, and Trif...not to suggest that you're not using lickety right...but do you load it with your words?)

10:10 pm

Pinikula

the 2 ANs are virtually the same, just change the 2nd vowel

10:10 pm

reparteena

at the risk of being labeled a lurker--I have to say I love the Babble Expert! Everything is right in front of you--no going back & forth or putting in words twice.

10:10 pm

Trifioso

Load it? Do you mean enter the words I get in it? No, I don't do that...should I?

10:10 pm

Pinikula

Same here, Teena...

10:10 pm

oodleberry

good night beautiful b abblers

10:10 pm

Pinikula

Will make it much easier!

10:10 pm

Trifioso

Whew! Thank you!!!! Got it!

10:10 pm

Pinikula

here, let me give you the synopsis!

10:10 pm

Pinikula

Open --Lickety's List-- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

10:12 pm

stidmama

thanks pini.

10:12 pm

stidmama

icky gee-eye words today...

10:12 pm

Trifioso

wow....thats' a honking load of typing.....I suppose I could try it. Really, though, I do like to try to find as many as I can independently, and not just fill in the list. I will probably get tired of the work though. Keep in mind, I am SUCH a noob that it is all still novel! I wicked appreciate the hints about Lickety's list though!

10:13 pm

kje

stid - there are lots of weird gerunds... where usually you might change an ie to ay or drop the e prior to adding the gerund... and then there are several weird gerund plurals... fyi

10:13 pm

Pinikula

load of typing? how so? the bulk add does it for you and puts the words in their proper place...you simply fill in what's missing...

10:13 pm

stidmama

yes, thanks kje :-D

10:13 pm

Pinikula

...I like to find what I can first, then resort to lickety when I'm stuck or ask for clues as needed ;)

10:13 pm

Trifioso

oh, yes, you are right about that....

10:14 pm

kje

trif - highlight and copy the word list here... then go to bulk add on lickety's and paste, then hit bulk add button at the bottom

Pink - Prolonged use of Black Kohosh is not advisable. Not to be used at all by those with any kind of breast cancer, since it is now believed that it accelerates the migration of the cancer from the breast to the lung.

(saw your comment, tyger...and to answer...at this point, I have NO idea!!!!)

10:41 pm

Pinikula

10:41 pm

Jacula

Step up, I assume is the USA equivalent of the UK phrase, 'pull your socks up!'

10:41 pm

stidmama

just looked up the milkweed. I know I haven't seen it, but apparently it is used in many places from a native North American plant also

10:41 pm

stidmama

10:42 pm

stidmama

Jacula

10:44 pm

Jacula

he wii rock band game looks fun. (We don't have wii yet.)

10:45 pm

Jacula

Wonder if I will be better at wii tennis than I am in real life? I'm certainly better at ten-pin bowling on facebook than I am in real life!

10:46 pm

Trifioso

OMG. I am never going to sleep again, now that I have found this game, am I????

10:46 pm

Jacula

No Trif, probably not.

10:47 pm

cjmomma

I've gotten to that point also Tri...:)

10:48 pm

Trifioso

does anyone have a hint for the first hi 6/27?

10:48 pm

Jacula

Hi cjmomma - jst read your profile. You won't be happily married for much longer if you keep on staying out of bed to play this game.

10:48 pm

ganda

nice game...

10:49 pm

cjmomma

hi + vowel and then the ing

10:49 pm

Jacula

hi6.27 is the plural of the things that keep your door hanging in the frame.

10:49 pm

Trifioso

never mind - figured it out alphabetically

10:50 pm

Jacula

OOps, 1st hi6 is the greeting thing.

10:50 pm

cjmomma

Jacula, hubby has learned to accept my phases I go through...he watches tv, and I play on computer. But he has mentioned that I don't watch "our" shows anymore...

10:51 pm

cjmomma

he's used to me staying up past him, so thats no biggie

10:51 pm

Jacula

cj - the 'our' shows, what are they? For me and my Other Half it's things like 'Bones' and other murder mysteries.

10:52 pm

cjmomma

it is why I don't finish all the grids though, we like house and anything funny really

10:52 pm

Jacula

Mine is also used to me staying up later,since he has to be in work for about 5am and so goes to bed about 10pm.

10:53 pm

cjmomma

yup mine just changed to later hours though which is why he has complained lately

10:53 pm

Jacula

LOL, MEN!

10:53 pm

Trifioso

careful what you pray for....mine just did a runner, and I would LOVE to have him to complain about again....:(

10:53 pm

cjmomma

I'm glad I have a good and patient one that accepts me for who and what I am...

10:54 pm

cjmomma

tjat

10:54 pm

Trifioso

cj you are really, really lucky!

10:54 pm

Jacula

Once I get back into m 'proper job' (which is writing) he'll have to be even more tolerant of the hours I might keep.

10:54 pm

cjmomma

oops, that I do know

10:54 pm

cjmomma

what do you write?

10:55 pm

Jacula

Trif - that's a hard thng to go through. I know how you feel, having been there with 2 young children.

10:55 pm

Jacula

All sorts, cjmomma.

10:55 pm

Jacula

All for now though is my blog.

10:55 pm

Trifioso

jac - did yours come back? if that's not too personal....

10:56 pm

cjmomma

10:57 pm

cjmomma

10:57 pm

cjmomma

10:58 pm

Jacula

Trif - That would be a long and complicated story to tell, but no, we are not together now but we do still see each other 3 times a week as parents and have never waivered from our role as a parenting team. He's remarried and I'm with a 'new' partner also.
