Walter's school also put on a huge extravaganza, with a libray bus and Leespiet and Sint and a small band and presents...

3:03 am

saanichcat

hello Ata!

3:03 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, the neighbor... I mean, the SInt... rang the bell and left Walter a fishing game, toy money, and the ganzenbord game. Walter was over the moon.

3:04 am

sprite

that rocks, when school makes work of the sinterklaas. Caya's school does too.

3:04 am

saanichcat

snaths

3:04 am

I can remember myself, when I was really little. It was so incredibly exciting.

3:04 am

sprite

ah, good one saanich!

3:04 am

MonkeyGames

Fun! Walter's school is just 150 students so they could do a big party without it being TOO crazy.

3:05 am

saanichcat

oh sh** SORRY!

3:05 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, that S has been taunting me...

3:05 am

Glad I could help she said in an abashed manner

MonkeyGames

Oh, thanks, Sprite! ME too...

3:06 am

Hi Jacula!

Atalante

now THAT's ugly wallpaper!

3:20 am

sprite

omg Jac that is really ugly!

3:20 am

saanichcat

Morning Jac; great ugly wallpaper! Good theme whoever thought of it!

3:20 am

MonkeyGames

Long story. Skipping most of it, fiuve months ago I put soap in the dishwasher and couldn't stand up. Been limping around ever soince. It was finally just diagnosed as two small, utreatable disc herniations.

3:21 am

sprite

wickdsmaht suggested this theme, saanich

3:21 am

shdybr8

the clue that i'm up too late is i'm the only us flag, wrong time zone to be awake! eek, monkey, that stinks

3:21 am

MonkeyGames

It has as of this week officially stopped getting woirse!

3:22 am

Atalante

it's a FAB theme

3:22 am

shdybr8

well that's a start

3:22 am

MonkeyGames

I will find ugly wallpaper. I will.

3:23 am

Jacula

My paper is very similar to one my parents put in my bedroom when I was about 6. I picked at the seam and some came off and I filled it in with crayon. I got into trouble for 'the deceit' rather than the paper ripping.

3:23 am

shdybr8

i'm no good at following the theme, my current icon is from the last theme i followed, maybe 3 or 4 months ago?

3:23 am

sprite

aw Jac! And it wouldn't have helped to tell them every change was an improvement, I guess?

3:23 am

Jacula

It was ages before they found me out, though! So, there's one 'plus point' for busy wallpaper.:)

3:24 am

shdybr8

lol, jac, now we all just went back to childhood, thanks!

3:24 am

MonkeyGames

The orthopedist thinks this should start to improve within a couple of months.

3:24 am

shdybr8

good Monkey, I hope so....

3:24 am

sprite

awww MonkeyG, you need to be patient a lot lately, right?

3:25 am

sprite

great theme to get back on the icon train then, shdy!

3:26 am

shdybr8

eek, sprite, the whole searching then shrinking the pic thing reveals my age

3:26 am

shdybr8

funny, i live online, but can't deal with changing a pic

3:27 am

sprite

no need to shrink, babble will do that for you! But it is not an obligation, don't worry ;)

3:27 am

shdybr8

usually my pics (both pictures and choices) don't fit

3:28 am

Jacula

Oh dear! Just had to ring Other Half to warn him not to buy fuel on his way home from work; I just found his bank card on the desk here.

3:28 am

sprite

too bad, I bet you can come up with great picks, shdy!

3:28 am

MonkeyGames

No more patient than you need to be, Sprite. You're kind of a role model for me about staying psitive.

3:28 am

sprite

lol Jac, you are an angel. Just saved him a load of embarrasment

3:28 am

shdybr8

on my tv right now is the crazy lady who killed her kids, the show is taking her side......ick

3:28 am

Jacula

I'll bet he was Xmas shopping on-lne before he went out. Wonder if it was something for moi?

3:29 am

sprite

aw shucks MonkeyG, that is quite a huge compliment and one I don't always deserve! But thanks :)

3:29 am

shdybr8

ok, peer pressure, off to look for wallpaper.......

3:30 am

sprite

I want to kill my kids on a weekly base, but never longer than a few seconds. '

3:31 am

sprite

Jac, it should be!

3:31 am

Jacula

Monkey, I hope your back improves soon.

3:31 am

MonkeyGames

Now, now. Of course you deserve it. If you were the kind of person (like I am also not) for whol staying positive or getting positicve again after a dip was EASY you wouldn't be a good role model for me. It's not easy. Adn you DO it.

3:31 am

MonkeyGames

Me too Jac.... But right now I really just hope I get through school OK... just weeks left to that degree!

3:32 am

sprite

:) *hugs* and thanks, MonkeyG. We are heroes in our own way, aren't we.

3:32 am

Jacula

You'll do it, Monkey. Determination will see you through. x

3:33 am

sprite

you will, MonkeyG. You've already proven nothing will stop you from getting it.

3:33 am

MonkeyGames

Awww, thanks folks!

3:34 am

shdybr8

well, my goodness, monkey, of course you will!

3:34 am

shdybr8

It kinda says Sint en Piet.

3:35 am

MonkeyGames

3:35 am

MonkeyGames

OK, now I have ugly wallpaper.

3:35 am

3:35 am

3:37 am

shdybr8

3:55 am

speaking of dogs, the mating of Dana and Gitaan went very well! First day nothing happened, Dana wasn't ready then. But from 2nd day on they did great together. The breeder just told us Gitaan was so gentle with Dana, he even licked her around the eyes to calm her :)

3:56 am

Atalante

3:57 am

shdybr8

love those, monkey, i'm a fan of big dogs....if anyone lives near Houston,TX there is a 130 pound mastiff in the Pasadena shelter needing a home

3:57 am

sprite

yeah I never doubted it, Ata! I love the way she does take her own sweet time for everything! And a pup from such kind parents must become a sweetie.

3:58 am

sprite

lol shdy!

3:58 am

shdybr8

3:58 am

MonkeyGames

OK, gotta get on with the day. You folks have fun! Sprite, very soon I will have my house in order and my head on straight and you folks will all come visit. Ideally on a clear day so I can barbecue some Mongolian lamb or something. Enjoy Babbl;ing, everyone, I'll be back later for a break!

4:03 am

shdybr8

and to all people! love it sprite

4:03 am

shdybr8

up way too lat, saan, but it's almost finals, so I'm almost off work

4:03 am

sprite

shdy, I cannot walk well so we picked a tiny dog on purpose, one I can handle even on my worst days. It is going to be a king charles cavalier spaniel.

4:04 am

shdybr8

not sure I can picture that, sprite, i love all animals, do you have a pic?

4:04 am

saanichcat

good for you shdy, good luck in finals too.

4:04 am

sprite

yes I do, a pic of the mother, let me find the link

4:04 am

shdybr8

what does that kind of dog look like?

4:05 am

shdybr8

yayyyyy, waiting....

4:06 am

it is the dog on the left, the ruby

4:07 am

shdybr8

sprite, other people offer to walk even one of my dogs and I say no. I had 3 ankle surgeries and 2 weeks in hospital after a dog walk about 7 years ago, and then I only had 2!!!!

4:07 am

Jacula

I'm back and I'm freezing - just been up the garden in my dressing gown to open the g/pig shed.

4:08 am

sprite

*sends Jac some warmth and a nice hot cuppa*

4:08 am

Jacula

Or rather to put the light on in there and let them out on the floor. Not leaving door open - too cold.

4:08 am

Jacula

Thanks Sprite.:)

4:09 am

shdybr8

oh, sprite, how precious! sort of like a cocker spaniel?

4:09 am

Atalante

like a baby cocker :)

4:09 am

shdybr8

(can't see size on picture)

4:09 am

shdybr8

god, how cute

4:10 am

sprite

I have a damaged pelvic girdle, so I have to be careful. We decided to get a dog from a good breeder, rather than get one from the dog shelter, because our dog has to be trained very well from the start so it will not make me fall or trip.

4:10 am

sprite

they are small, but very much REAL dogs. Not a pet breed, despite their size. Ata helped me pick the breed, she knows her spaniels :)

4:11 am

Atalante

oh yes, you'll know you've got a dog!

4:11 am

shdybr8

wonderful, sprite, I love all dogs, just a little partial to big ones, and I have the luxury of taking mutts out of the pound, so I do.

4:12 am

sprite

and another great thing about this breed is they can walk for hours, once mature, but they are content with a short trip too.

4:12 am

shdybr8

Now that i have 3 and can't take more, i just hope for the best for the ones that are stuck

4:13 am

shdybr8

seriously, sprite, i love them all, and that picture you posted ---- toooo cute!!

4:13 am

Atalante

playing rough and tumble with the kids will exercise him / her on your bad days!

4:15 am

sprite

it will, Ata. Look, I found a pic of the dad as well!

4:15 am

sprite

lol I see Gitaan is spelled Ttitian. Well, how silly of me not to know!

4:15 am

shdybr8

one of my coworkers got a boston terrier a month or so ago and brought him to work...he was so tiny and cute, i couldn't keep my hands off him. In my house he would be in danger of getting stepped on

4:17 am

shdybr8

omg, the puppies at the bottom of that!!!

4:17 am

sprite

yes, I think so too, Ata! We are not at the top of the list for this litter, but I still know we will get the sweetest and smartest pup of the lot.

4:17 am

sprite

awwww shdy how cute

4:17 am

shdybr8

you saw mine, sprite?

4:18 am

Atalante

dogs are just wonderful. I was on the beach the other day and a man came past with 3 boston terriers (I think, ish, anyway) and 2 were waggy and confident, and the 3rd was all tail-between-legs and wary as he came up to Hobbit. She wiggled at him, and then he came over to me, all cowered too. But I leant down and stroked him, and you should have seen the difference! He perked up and wiggled and wagged and his eyes went all shiny and happy

4:18 am

sprite

nope but I have a vivid imagination, and I think it is cute to not be able to stop cuddling it :)

4:19 am

shdybr8

it? heehee more like them

4:20 am

Finally found an 8!

4:29 am

sprite

am probably doing something wrong on my side, shdy

4:30 am

Atalante

you'd have to ask Lizsark that one :P

4:30 am

Jacula

Here's the short link to shdy's pics: http://tinyurl.com/5hjjvs

4:30 am

shdybr8

no, sprite, just not as smart as jac!

4:31 am

Jacula

tinyurl is really useful for links, shdy. BTW, your 'Fang' looks a bit like my cat.

4:31 am

sprite

oh shdy they are lovely!
Thanks Jac for the tiny url.

4:31 am

sprite

oh shdy they are lovely!
Thanks Jac for the tiny url.

4:32 am

I am left with a P7. Am I being blind or is it a weird word?

4:33 am

Jacula

p7 = rice fields or 'bad tempers', Sprite. Or maybe Irishmen.

4:33 am

shdybr8

fang is a rescue as well, jac, she has a stub of a tail, mom had no tail, of 5 kittens 2 had none, 2 had tails, and Fang had a stub

4:34 am

sprite

I think I have that one, the Irishmen I mean. Must be another one?

4:34 am

shdybr8

we caught all, had all fixed, then found homes, no pound involved

4:34 am

sprite

great job, shdy!

4:35 am

Jacula

It's the only p7 I have so far, Sprite. Still got 46 words to find.

4:35 am

shdybr8

fang was named because she attacked us when she was about the size of my foot, viciously, now she is sweet as can be

4:36 am

Jacula

BRB - cat's nagging me to let him out.

4:36 am

sprite

ok, lickety says there is another one, I am off to a2z for my last one. Will tell you in a bit whether I was stupid or the word was tough.

4:37 am

shdybr8

bed time, night all, thanks for being you and for being great company!

4:37 am

Atalante

night shdy!

4:38 am

sprite

fireworks. A totally new word for me, that other P7. Any clue wanted for it?

4:38 am

Jacula

I'm back. 'Night shdy.

4:38 am

sprite

night shdy, sleep well!

4:39 am

Jacula

Cat has a strange morning ritual. He eats half of his food and then comes to fetch me. I have to stand over him while he eats and purrs (not sure how he does both at same time) and then he goes out into the garden. I wonder if the standing over him thing has anything to do with him losing his mother?

4:39 am

sprite

going once, going twice...

4:39 am

Jacula

Well done Sprite!

4:40 am

Jacula

I'll take a clue for it, please.

4:40 am

sprite

awwww Jac, could very well be. Sweet!

4:40 am

Atalante

awwww cu4, Jac!

4:40 am

sprite

pa7/44 same start as the other one, last 4 letters are the ruler in this grid (persian or Iranian king)

4:40 am

saanichcat

yes please sprite and Fab Fireorks!

4:40 am

Atalante

what an odd word!

4:41 am

Jacula

What the heck does that word mean?

4:41 am

saanichcat

THANKS! sprite

4:41 am

Atalante

turkish / persian ruler

4:41 am

Jacula

Thanks Sprite. Wouldn't have got that unless I'd gone to the list.

4:42 am

sprite

I have no idea, even infoplease doesn't know it.

4:42 am

sprite

same here, I had to open lickety and a2z to find it.

4:43 am

Jacula

Ata - I see, Wiki says it means 'master king'. So it's a 'posher' version of the last part of the word.

4:43 am

sprite

Ata found it.
"a very prestigious title, which is composed from the Persian words "master" and the better-known title "king", which was adopted by several Islamic monarchies claiming the highest rank, roughly equivalent to Christian Emperors or the ancient notion of a "Great King".

4:44 am

Atalante

I was trying to find some word like that without really knowing what I was looking for. Some book I like has a girl who is the pa*i**-something emperor and it was sticking in my mind

4:44 am

sprite

all the things we learn from babble :D
Thanks all, I had a great babble time today with you all. Have fun and *hugs* from me.

4:44 am

Jacula

I've seen the word with the 'i' in it, Ata.

4:45 am

Jacula

'Bye Sprite. Lovely to 'see' you again.

4:45 am

Atalante

oh really? it's not just my overactive imagination this morning? good!

4:45 am

Jacula

5 more mins and I'd better go and get dressed. I've been up nearly 2 hours! Have to go shopping and then have 4 Xmas cakes to ice and decorate.

4:46 am

sprite

don't want to be off either, but must prepare for sinterklaas tonight :) *poof*

4:47 am

Atalante

4! goodness

4:47 am

Jacula

One for us, one for my Mum, one for my daughter and one for Other Half's Mum, Ata.

4:48 am

Atalante

yum!

4:48 am

Jacula

I'll put photos in my blog later.

4:49 am

Jacula

I'm a bit behind with the blog; haven't done it for days!:(

4:49 am

Atalante

have you got an rss feed to your blog?

4:50 am

Jacula

Don't think so, Ata. It's invitation only.

4:50 am

Jacula

Want an invite?

4:51 am

Jacula

Don't worry about refusing if you don't. LOL

4:51 am

Atalante

LOL, I would if you had rss. But I never remember to read people's blogs unless I can read them on my main blogging site!

4:52 am

7:00 am

herinfernallady

Oh. I did go out today.

7:00 am

redturtlehead

Were you celebrating?

7:02 am

redturtlehead

Or shopping. I need to finish Christmas...wrappig, shopping etc.

7:02 am

herinfernallady

nup. I went shopping in my old town which is a cess pit for clothes but that was a huge fail. I did buy new laptop cooling mats which work like a dream. I wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for clothes. I spotted something the other day when i was there getting his gift

7:03 am

redturtlehead

ahhh, clothes. I should get some.

7:03 am

herinfernallady

Came home and b.f took me out for tea. Yah happy squeel

7:04 am

herinfernallady

No clothes fit. Im inbetween sizes and the clothes looked wrong

7:05 am

redturtlehead

Well...It could be worse Herin!

7:05 am

Aloyisius

needle case alert

7:06 am

redturtlehead

TY Aloy. Hello, How are you?

7:06 am

herinfernallady

OH worse do you want to hear worse?

7:07 am

redturtlehead

Probably not Herin.

7:07 am

herinfernallady

I have hovered at the 229 pound mark for about six months and that is still not good enough for my mother. Oh no she thought I would be at the 209 mark now.

7:07 am

redturtlehead

I'm watching Recession news.

7:08 am

redturtlehead

Herin, why even tell her your weight.

7:08 am

Aloyisius

great, red.. polishing off this grid, hafta get a movie back this morning to avoid a late fee.. how are you?

7:09 am

redturtlehead

I'm really good. Aloy, a little too busy, but...enjoying the "winter".

7:10 am

herinfernallady

because it was mentioned. She never knew I was at about 250 last year

7:10 am

Aloyisius

7:11 am

redturtlehead

Aloy...did you go bird watching for the Nautralist course? I am lovign the bird here.

7:11 am

redturtlehead

Herin. Just tell Mom to stuff it.

7:11 am

Aloyisius

7:11 am

herinfernallady

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Lovely Ata

7:14 am

Anniebrook

7:14 am

Anniebrook

Ata, Is Haz well? She has not been here for a while.

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Hi annie

7:15 am

Anniebrook

hi herin!

7:15 am

Aloyisius

hi Annie!

7:15 am

Anniebrook

and Aloy!

7:16 am

redturtlehead

Hi Annie. Aloy I am so jealous. Perhaps tomorro I shall go to Lake Louisa.

7:16 am

Aloyisius

have missed chatting with Haz

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Hi red!

7:16 am

NonoNanette

Hi Annie

7:17 am

Aloyisius

(-: am proud to be a bird nerd, red..

7:17 am

Anniebrook

Hi Nono

7:17 am

NonoNanette

Have not seen Haz since everyone was going off about her views of giving clues

7:17 am

redturtlehead

My Mom tells me that people who make fun of birders are just missing a lot of things.

7:17 am

Anniebrook

Aloy, there are so many beautiful birds in Florida

7:17 am

redturtlehead

Hi Nanette.

7:17 am

redturtlehead

Haz has not been aropund which is too bad.

7:17 am

Dorens

when was that nono?

7:18 am

Aloyisius

no kidding.. your mom is right.. how better to connect to nature than to watch birds?

7:18 am

NonoNanette

I do miss her being here

7:18 am

Anniebrook

Nono, I believe that is the case and I miss her

7:18 am

NonoNanette

was about a week ago Dorens

7:18 am

Dorens

hi all.... and speaking of birds in florida, i am going to sanibel .. home of the roseate spoonbills

7:18 am

redturtlehead

ooooh Dorens, Cool!

7:19 am

Aloyisius

yay, Dorens.. enjoy! Hope you see a lot of them

7:19 am

Dorens

i am sorry to hear that... she is entitled to her views, we all are, and she has never been rude to anyone, as far as I know

7:19 am

redturtlehead

I may start a life list ....for birds that is.

7:19 am

NonoNanette

absolutely Dorens

7:19 am

Dorens

kayaking in ding darling, i expect to.... and loads of pelicans

7:20 am

Aloyisius

do it, red... then join your local Audubon chapter and you will meet some really neat people from all over

7:20 am

NonoNanette

opps puter starting a scan, will be back later

7:20 am

Anniebrook

Haz has always been the nicest and cleverest and funniest babbler

7:20 am

redturtlehead

Oh I should. We have Sandhill cranes that live in the apartment complex, its bizarre.

7:20 am

Dorens

hope she's back soon (and i have agreed with her in the past). yes, red that sounds like a good idea

7:20 am

redturtlehead

I miss Haz's clues, she knew how to give them!

7:21 am

redturtlehead

Aloy...thats a great idea.

7:21 am

Dorens

one of the best

7:21 am

Aloyisius

lol, they can get very assertive if there is food around.. we used to have some hang out at the local strawberry stand

7:21 am

Anniebrook

dorens, I have agreed with Haz all the way..she had the guts to say it.....come back, Haz!!

7:21 am

Yvo

Hazels style of cluing made me think alot i do miss her ,if you read this Hazel please come Back

7:21 am

Dorens

well, i think she has a huge fan club and will be back

7:22 am

Anniebrook

I hope so, dorens...

7:22 am

Aloyisius

If we are forming a "come back Haz" club, sign me up..

7:22 am

SamanthaJoy

Good lord, who was rude to Haz?

7:23 am

Dorens

that's what i'd like to know

7:23 am

herinfernallady

OH i am lucky tonight My fav musicians are tv.

7:23 am

Dippnall

lurking again - but me too - I think Haz is fab and her clues are really helpful

7:23 am

redturtlehead

I just got BlueBerrie muffins out of the oven, does anyone want? I also have nice coffee.

7:24 am

SamanthaJoy

And less importantly, why?

7:24 am

Aloyisius

ooh, tyvm red.. i can smell them from here! Yummmmmm

7:24 am

Dorens

yes red, would love both.. .have to leave in 6 minutes for yogalaties class and i have had nothing yet

7:24 am

redturtlehead

I think people were just saying some people like easier clues Haqz though gives clues that you can get if you think.

7:24 am

Yvo

i think it was the 2nd of dezember ,or around there

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Me, Red!

7:24 am

Dorens

sam, supposedly because of her clues on viewing, which are shared by many of us!

7:24 am

herinfernallady

That R is all RE words yes?

7:25 am

SamanthaJoy

Some people do like or need easier clues. I don't see what that has to do with her clues, which are always thought provoking and fun

7:25 am

Dorens

would think so, herin

7:25 am

herinfernallady

You never no

7:25 am

herinfernallady

opps KNOW even

7:25 am

Dorens

problem is when people complain about clues being too hard... and expect to be spoon fed all the time

7:26 am

redturtlehead

serving up Muffins and coffee, have cream, milk, soymilk, sugar, sorry will not serve splenda.

7:26 am

redturtlehead

Yes Dorens, there are a few violaters, 2 I can think of immediately.

7:26 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh that doesn't bother me dorens. If people want to be handed the puzzle, and other people are willing to do the handing, let 'em roll, is what I say. I'm not going to let it ruin my game

7:26 am

herinfernallady

yum

7:27 am

Dorens

nothing ruins my game

7:27 am

SamanthaJoy

So . . . what's the problem then? I'm confused! lol

7:28 am

redturtlehead

it can be annoying in chat though...especially when they ask for clue after clue after clue...makes one feel used.

7:28 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, I'm just very casual about answering, except when I want to. LOL

7:28 am

Dorens

i mean, sometimes people can be somewhat annoying, i am somewhat of a curmudgeon,and yes, what red said. but it doesn't ruin my game

7:29 am

redturtlehead

exactly, I just avoid chat when they are here.

7:29 am

Aloyisius

to me, aside from chat, the appeal of Babble centers around "discovery".. snooping in the grid and waking up your brain to see the words finally appear.. thats why I turn off chat when I first go through the grid.. so the fun is not spoiled.. guess others are not so excited about "discovery".. but that is their preog

7:29 am

Aloyisius

how do you spell preogative?

7:29 am

Aloyisius

you know what i mean, lol

7:30 am

Anniebrook

perogative?

7:30 am

redturtlehead

perogative..

7:30 am

Dorens

prerogative. gotta run.. see you

7:30 am

Aloyisius

ty Annie and red (-:

7:30 am

SamanthaJoy

It's prerogative, actually

7:30 am

Aloyisius

h'mm... ok, ty..

7:30 am

Anniebrook

I think Sam and dorens have the right spelling

7:31 am

Aloyisius

missed an r.. no wonder it didn't look right

7:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, dictionary.com does. I bow to their authority

7:31 am

redturtlehead

Oooooh yes now that I see it...

7:33 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh lordie my dogs. They both desperately need to be let outside, but when I open the door they realize how COLD it is out there and stand there at the door looking pitiful

7:34 am

herinfernallady

Toss them out

7:34 am

redturtlehead

Samantha is it TX here you are? and cold? Oh no.

7:34 am

SamanthaJoy

I have a hard time resisting the big eyes of the fuzzbuckets

7:35 am

SamanthaJoy

Yes, it is texas, and it's storming. It's not *really* cold but it hit the thirties again last night

7:35 am

redturtlehead

thats really cold to me.

7:35 am

herinfernallady

Do you have a sheltered area for them to pee in

7:35 am

SamanthaJoy

They're both wearing thick fur coats!

7:36 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, if they choose to leave the porches they can go into the barn :)

7:36 am

redturtlehead

toss them out. THink of how unpleasant a full bladder is!

7:36 am

herinfernallady

ITs still COLD

7:37 am

Aloyisius

ok, off to the races.. Happy Babbling all.. see you next grid.. (-: PS, red.. hint to someone that you want an Aud. membership for Christmas.. (I don't get a commission, really, lol)

7:37 am

SamanthaJoy

OK, they're out now. Apparently there was a deer to be chased out there; that's harder to ignore than the cold

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi everyone.

7:37 am

SamanthaJoy

G'bye Aloy; hello scrabbler

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Nope, but soon. I would ski this weekend but I am on call the entire weekend (I have to go to work soon) and it is a pain to be paged while skiing in the woods.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi crossy

7:47 am

crosshair

oh its a wonder..i havent had dry feet in 6 weeks lol

7:48 am

Scrabbler

But, take snowy roads + driving downhill in a car and ---> car accident. Waaahhh. :-( But no injuries and my car will get fixed. It's just money.

7:48 am

afternoon everyone

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi Kitt

7:48 am

when did you do that scrabbs?

7:48 am

crosshair

howdy katie

7:48 am

redturtlehead

Oh No Scrabbs, when did that happen???

7:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Well I am glad you're all right Scrabbler. That is the most important part.

7:49 am

KatieMcG

You OK scrabbler, I read it on facebook

7:49 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, glad you are not hurt...there are many cars and only one Scrabbler

7:50 am

SamanthaJoy

My husband just got out of bed. I am going to go give him some love. Bye all.

7:50 am

redturtlehead

Well Said Annie.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

I am OK--not sore today. Just annoyed. And replaying it in my head. But there was nothing I could do. I basically went sledding in my car and smashed into the car ahead of me that stopped to turn left.

7:50 am

crosshair

ooo samantha you devil:)

7:51 am

Scrabbler

TY, Annie.

7:51 am

herinfernallady

Cross your view looks lovely

7:51 am

KatieMcG

I'm glad you are OK, replaying is normal it's the fright of how much worse it could have been

7:52 am

Anniebrook

that is very frightening

7:52 am

crosshair

ty herin..that what i get to see at work today

7:52 am

Scrabbler

The air bag never blew up even, that's how slow it was--just me sliding downhill.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Hi Beth--out with it, don't hold back.

7:54 am

aslindy

hello everyone

7:54 am

KatieMcG

I've just been shopping that was a frightening experience!!

7:54 am

redturtlehead

good job Ktie. I need to do that.

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Christmas shopping is very very frightening!

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy

7:55 am

redturtlehead

I am excited though, I am going to get new glasses today, or at least get the exam.

7:55 am

JBV

just stopping in to say hi - so sorry to hear about your "sledding" accident, scrabbler - hope you are OK

7:55 am

redturtlehead

JBV! How are you and the other half???

7:55 am

Anniebrook

JBV, how is your hubby?

7:56 am

KatieMcG

I'm not going out again before Christmas, it was horrible. We only went so hubby could pick up my christmas gift I had ordered on line yesterday - we need to work on the surprise part of Christmas

7:56 am

JBV

hi, everyone - my few moments of sanity each day are the ones I spend here - each day we're hoping to hear better news: hubby has been in the hospital for 16 days now...

7:56 am

redturtlehead

Oh no JBV, I hope he is getting good care.

7:56 am

herinfernallady

OH JBV.

7:57 am

KatieMcG

Is he getting better JBV?

7:57 am

Anniebrook

JBV, Wasn't your husband supposed to come home last weekend?

7:57 am

JBV

came out of surgery very well, but then some minor and one major complication - I can't go into details - but doctors are guardedly optimistic he will soon be able to take liquids and then solid food, etc. and come home - when? maybe this week

7:57 am

redturtlehead

Make sure those urses wash hands....

7:57 am

redturtlehead

er nurses.

7:57 am

KatieMcG

Oh I hope so JBV, make sure you take care of yourself as well as him

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Will be thinking of him and you JB

7:58 am

LynnNate08

kris u here hi all

7:58 am

KristineNas

Yes Lynn

7:58 am

crosshair

im sorry i must of missed it jbv..what did he go in for?

7:58 am

JBV

red, we have some nurses who are truly angels - he actually manages to joke around with them = and then for the others, well, that's why I'm there

7:58 am

Scrabbler

((JBV & husband))--it sucks to be a patient. I do hope he improves rapidly and soon.

7:58 am

NonnieLight

hello all and sorry to hear that jbv.

7:58 am

LynnNate08

boy do i have a story for u later!

7:58 am

redturtlehead

Hands!

7:58 am

KristineNas

well call me NPOW

7:58 am

KristineNas

now even

7:59 am

redturtlehead

sorry I am a bit obsessive.

7:59 am

JBV

big surgery, cross, bladder repair and more - only time will tell if it's all ok

7:59 am

KatieMcG

thats a good thing in a nurse red :-)

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Germs are naughty, very naughty.

7:59 am

NonnieLight

red, I don't think that is obsessive. In the hospital, I think you can't wash your hands enough!

8:00 am

JBV

and in the middle of all that, I also had a small fender bender - it seems the driver behind me "sledded" into me - no snow, just not paying attention to the slow traffic ahead

8:00 am

Dippnall

help re 6/ 24, please

8:00 am

redturtlehead

Ugh. I have tried to do that often...but managed not too. Sorry JBV.

8:00 am

KatieMcG

I did that years ago to someone, he took it really well all things considered

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, JBV. I felt so BAD for the lady I slid into, but she was SO kind--"Are you OK? I am OK. That's all that matters. Cars can get fixed."

8:01 am

NonnieLight

My daughter did it just the other night in the heavy rain. Hydroplaned into another car and they both ended up in the median...no one was hurt, thank goodness.

8:02 am

JBV

we were the same, scrabbler, state police arrived and handled it all very professionally - any other day, I might have been stressed out, but since I have bigger fish to fry, that was just a minor blip on my radar

8:02 am

Scrabbler

It is scary, Nonnie.

8:02 am

JBV

I have to prioritize my stresses - anyway it's so nice to know you are all there and wishing us well - I mostly find my Babble moments late at night, so good luck to all - and hope to chat again soon

8:03 am

Scrabbler

It was slow motion, knowing that I was sliding on the snow and had no option but to hit the car ahead.

8:03 am

KatieMcG

I was rear ended twice in a week years ago, the second time I got out ready to yell at the person who had hit me and she was very very pregnant. I ended up calming her down, looking after her 2 year old & dad fixed her car

8:03 am

redturtlehead

Wow, I am just amazed by the job layoffs. I may increase my charity shopping. I dont know why our local target doesnt have bins for food and gifts.

8:03 am

NonnieLight

It is, scrabbs. She was so shaken by it and the fellow she ran into was so kind to her. He said "I looked up and saw this big truck coming at me and now I'm wondering why my pants aren't wet."

8:03 am

Anniebrook

{{{JBV}}}

8:03 am

Scrabbler

JBV, take one day at a time, keep your husband cheery and positive. Be patient with recovery.

8:03 am

KatieMcG

Bye JBV, take care we are thinking of you

8:03 am

DR1965

just coming in but hugs to JBV and Hubby

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Hi DR

8:04 am

redturtlehead

JBV, if he has to stay in hospital much longer, get him a water pistol, for the nasty nurses.

8:04 am

redturtlehead

and doctors.

8:04 am

herinfernallady

REd. The local pet store has a round up of food for the Lost Dogs home. HEres a suggestion close the pet store and buy from the pound

8:04 am

KatieMcG

Is this a mean grid or am I having a thick day?

8:04 am

Scrabbler

As a doctor, I admit that I dislike most other doctors.

8:04 am

DR1965

Hi Scrabs and Red

8:04 am

NonnieLight

jbv, you and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers!

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I have hit the wall at 93 found, Kitt.

8:04 am

JBV

thanks for all the good advice - love you all!

8:05 am

KatieMcG

LOL scrabbler, as a surveyor I dislike most other surveyors ;-)

8:05 am

redturtlehead

Herin your pet store sells Dogs? Hard to find a pet store selling dogs these days....how odd.

8:05 am

herinfernallady

JBV. Breath. Take a bath and go yell into a pillow if you need to

8:05 am

KatieMcG

Thanks scrabbler, I only have 73 and it's not coming easy

8:05 am

redturtlehead

JBV we love you too.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Kitt. Once one becomes an insider one discovers all of the dirty little secrets of the profession.

8:06 am

KatieMcG

our pet stores aren't allowed to sell cats or dogs now, they only stock rabbits, hamster, degus, chincillas, rats etc

8:06 am

NonnieLight

degus? I've never heard of that?

8:06 am

redturtlehead

Yes, same here, except Pet Smart has adoptable dogs from shelter....

8:06 am

redturtlehead

what is a degus?

8:06 am

KatieMcG

it's like most of the surveyors I know joint the "up themselves" club the day they become qualified

8:07 am

Scrabbler

I have to leave for work in 45 minutes, so I need to get ready. I have a rental car for $23/day.

8:07 am

herinfernallady

They sell dogs and cats. its bloody disgusting

8:07 am

NonnieLight

Our petsmart and petco do the same, red.

8:07 am

DR1965

lol Red- I was going to ask that

8:07 am

redturtlehead

enjoy work Scrabb.

8:07 am

KatieMcG

It's kind of a rat type thing, really nice actually, nearly got some but decided that 3 cats was enough!

8:07 am

NonnieLight

bye bye scrabbs and have a doog day.

8:08 am

crosshair

common scrabbs,you can admit it to us in here..you keep them darn stethascopes in tiny freezers right?

8:08 am

Scrabbler

I WILL have a doog day, Nonnie, LOL.

8:08 am

KatieMcG

Nope these are quality dogs from a breeder. if you believe that your an idiot

8:08 am

Our hands too Cross...

8:08 am

DR1965

bye scrabs

8:08 am

Scrabbler

No, crossy, I have a "non-chill" rim on my stethy. It is my hands that are always cold.

8:08 am

redturtlehead

I have a quality dog from a breeder, he is a putz.

8:09 am

Anniebrook

bye, scrabbs

8:09 am

herinfernallady

By breeder I mean No papers and no hip scores

8:09 am

KatieMcG

We had real trouble trying to find kittens when Rhubarb & Crumble joined our family, the shelters didn't have any and you can't sell them in shops or advertise them in papers

8:10 am

herinfernallady

I wish they did that here. Ditch the puppy mills and back yard breeders. You don't have all day to hear about my rant against pet stores

8:11 am

KatieMcG

I agree with you herin, I think it still goes on though. We went out to the farm to get R&C so we could see that they were kittens from farm cats

8:11 am

Our kitties were found by someone and they brought them to the girl who works in our vet's office. I made the mistake of lamenting out loud that our daughter took her cats when she moved out. We're now the proud owner of two very active and curious cats. Don't they settle down after two years of age?

9:09 am

mattygroves

Threaded sounds painful - I had mine waxed

9:10 am

NonnieLight

I hate the pesky man-hairs that have started to crop up now that I'm (gasp) past 50!

9:10 am

kje

threading is no more painful than waxing and is more precise... and does not make me break out. I have sensitive skin, so the wax irritates it

9:11 am

NonnieLight

Is threading more expensive?

9:11 am

renfield

there's a blue wax you nuke in the wave - rub it on and peel it off - does not hurt

9:11 am

kje

no.... usually cheaper actually - i pay $8

9:11 am

kje

you find it at ethnic salons, usually indian, and they are less expensive in general i think

9:12 am

NonnieLight

Wow--I wonder why they don't advertise that? Is it usually done at salons?

9:12 am

NonnieLight

Oh, OK...you answered my question :o)

9:13 am

NonnieLight

Ren, at home?

9:13 am

kje

it isn't common outside of asia... i think a lot of people just do not know. an indian friend introduced me in baltimore... and i was immediately sold... i avoided waxing b/c of the 4-5 day post waxing bumps

9:13 am

renfield

yes - at home

9:14 am

DR1965

how often do you have to go back

9:14 am

kje

i would not trust myself to wax my own eyebrows... i shudder at how badly i could screw that up - LOL

9:14 am

NonnieLight

My brows grow so thick, I'd probably have to have a roping!

9:14 am

DR1965

me too

9:14 am

DR1965

lol Nonnie

9:14 am

renfield

kje - they make eyebrow paint for those mistakes :)

9:15 am

DR1965

ok halfway and hubby is awake... bbl-

9:15 am

kje

nonnie - think of who uses it... indian women have thicker hair in general, and that is who does it... i have seen some of them get their side burns and such done also... interesting

9:15 am

kje

There was an absolutely massive wolf spider in the bedroom a while back. My husband has a phobia so I had to catch it... they're aggressive when threatened and can jump, and have a nasty bite. But I got rid of it without serious incident.

9:31 am

kim m

egad!!!!!

9:31 am

MonkeyGames

Body was about an inch long.

9:31 am

MonkeyGames

One of the bigger oines I have ever seen.

*note to self... beware of wolf spiders in holland*

9:32 am

MonkeyGames

It's gone!

9:32 am

jmcnrick

spiders (wolf spider being an exception) eat bugs and therefore usually save me from bites. I am a spider fan

9:32 am

kim m

i can take anything else...bugs,snakes,rodents....no prob, but spiders.....

9:32 am

MonkeyGames

Kje, they are usually very secretive, so just avoid polking around wood piles and dark sheds. We think this one came in because of the sudden and intense downpour.

9:33 am

kje

i usually let them live for exactly that reason... but they are not allowed in the bedroom... usual penalty is capital punishment

9:33 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, I love spiders... just not huge biting ones in the bedroom. I didn't KILL it!

9:33 am

MonkeyGames

It's a two storey drop into bushes out that window. No danger to a spider, gets it well out of range for us.

9:34 am

kim m

capital punishment any where in the house...barely tolerate outside...

The bakfiets? No, mine died the final and ugly death, and right while i was panicking and going through some hell getting Walter to school, my dad said he was sending 400 Euros and to see what I could find for it... and I found a Christiania Light! The guy's driving it out for an HOUR, free of extra costs. Got him a nice bottle of wine for his trouble.

9:47 am

11:03 am

Nef

does that mean hard? If it was under 150, I *think* I might finish before the flip; but I have a lot of stuff to do today and don't want to start otherwise

11:03 am

Dorens

no i don't think it's hard, but it has its usual share of unusual words... i'm down to 23 and it hasn't really been challenging, just interesting

11:04 am

Nef

okay; I'll give it a whirl then! :-D

11:04 am

Atalante

no, not hard. not easy either. but fun!

11:05 am

Dorens

ok cool, so ata and I agree... hope nef does too

11:05 am

and the 8 letter words aren't stupidhead ones either

11:08 am

LadyNatts

moving right along here... back from shovelling and driving daughter to work. Now it's raining - freezing rain. Lovely (not).

11:25 am

Eww, Lady! Shoveling means there is already snow there? And rain on top of it? NOT fun!!!

I have returned for 76. But no I have dialated eyes so it might be interesting...

11:32 am

LadyNatts

we haven't had very much snow, all things considered. It's been very dry out west. Only in the last couple of days, just a bit. Enough to cover the ground, though.

11:34 am

Nef

any clues for that bottom left H word? If I get that one, I can go do some work with my bottom and right rows of tiles greyed out

11:34 am

LadyNatts

past tense of an ha4

11:34 am

Atalante

ha6 - past tense

11:35 am

wildcat17

bbl

11:35 am

LadyNatts

bye wildkitty

11:37 am

redturtlehead

NEf, I think its a small plural laugh....

11:37 am

redturtlehead

Hard to know exactly because of the other H there.

11:38 am

Nef

I obviously don't have that ha4; but I need to get to work. At least I have a good start (72 words). S I'll BBL. Bye fr now

11:38 am

redturtlehead

congratulations Dorens!!!

11:40 am

LadyNatts

that H in the bottom left corner is definitely the past tense of the 4,6... it's a 6,27... breakfast potatoes are often called "ha* browns"

11:40 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh I had that, but didnt kno which H it came from.

11:40 am

LadyNatts

I know because I was doing what Nef was doing, and trying to grey out tiles along the way

11:41 am

Nef

Thanks, Lady. I couldn't leave (even though I said I was!) until I found it! Now I wiill really <POOF!>

11:41 am

redturtlehead

I am uploading my disney Photos, and waiting for my poor eyes to undilate form my eye exam....Babble doesnt bother them much but I am sitting in the dark.

babblin brook

o... i have 5 versions of na, is there a six or is it a different root word?

11:52 am

LadyNatts

11:52 am

babblin brook

ok. thank you very much

11:54 am

LadyNatts

you're very welcome

11:55 am

LadyNatts

11:58 am

Judi

I'm due to have my eyeballs dialated on Monday, Red. Always a treat.

11:59 am

Atalante

why would one have their eyeballs dilated?

11:59 am

redturtlehead

Well, I am glad it i done for a while now. and I have new glases coming.

12:00 pm

Judi

Yes. I'll be getting new contacts and new glasses. Wish I could afford the laser surgery. Probably not in this lifetime.

12:00 pm

redturtlehead

I've seen ome people have bad result from the Laer urgery, so I just avoid it.

12:01 pm

Judi

I've heard more good than bad stories. Always dicey messing with the eyes, though. I'm happy with contacts, so I'm not complaining.

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

I figure with oe bad reult, I could be the one to loe vision, so, contacxts for me, this new kind for astigmatism is reall nice.

12:02 pm

jmcnrick

so I have been monkeying my heart out with sn and still only have found the obvious one. Any help?

12:03 pm

Judi

I wear one Toric and one soft lense, Red. You?

12:03 pm

Atalante

I'm still intrigued by this eyeball dilation? What is that for?

12:03 pm

redturtlehead

I jut got two new soft ones for atigmatim.

12:04 pm

redturtlehead

Ata, it allows the eye doctor to look at your optic nerve and blood vesels and see if they are healthy.

12:04 pm

Judi

Drops in the eyes to dilate your pupils, Ata. Allows doc to see more of the inner eye.

12:04 pm

Atalante

oh I see

12:05 pm

redturtlehead

It isnt bad, but if it is a bright sunny day, like today, it can make being outide hard because your pupil cant contract for a while...

Recommended every two years. It's really cool if they put it up on a screen while they're doing it. Course, it's hard to see if you've been dilated. Makes things very blurry for a few hours. They lie and tell you it will only last for an hour, but it always lasts much longer.

Jellen

Hello Babblers!

12:06 pm

Judi

Hi, Jellen!

12:06 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I wwent to the local Wal Mart for my stuff, becaue I am cheap...and then spent at least an hour purchasing toy truck for the pre school we adopted at work...

12:06 pm

redturtlehead

hi jell

12:07 pm

Judi

Wow, Red. That was one scrutinized truck!

12:07 pm

Atalante

we don't really have that done here for standard eye tests

12:08 pm

Judi

It's bound to make its way across the pond, Ata. Technology creeps globally.

12:08 pm

emo_62

not for eye tests ata but we do for contact lenses as i have to have it done every so often for mine

12:09 pm

Jellen

I adopted an Angel for a local charity---found a 12-year-old boy who wanted art supplies!

12:09 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I was looking for something inexpensive. Yesterday I found soccer ball for 4 buck...

12:09 pm

redturtlehead

Cool Jellen!!!

12:09 pm

Atalante

ooooh I haven't! how bizarre. (for contacts I mean)

12:10 pm

Judi

That's sweet of you, Jellen! Good karma.

12:10 pm

redturtlehead

I uppoe it depends on age etc...

12:10 pm

Judi

Red, is your keyboard missing an "S"? Or are you trying to affect a funky accent?

12:10 pm

Jellen

I bought him an art set at Hobby Lobby--pencils, colored pencils, pastels, etc., and then I'm throwing in a ream of plain paper, too.

Hi, Peri!

12:11 pm

very cool Jellen, it' fun isn't it? I think I went a little overboard this year.

12:11 pm

Peri!

12:12 pm

Jellen

Question about di7...does it build off the di4 before it?

12:13 pm

Jellen

I had more fun picking that out than shopping for my own nephews.

12:13 pm

redturtlehead

dont have it myelf Jellen.

12:13 pm

Atalante

yes, kind of

12:13 pm

Atalante

it does in letters, but doesn't in meaning

12:14 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Ata. I'll work on it some more...

12:15 pm

Jellen

Got it!

12:15 pm

Atalante

yay!

12:16 pm

Hi folks! Just on for a few. Rundown evening status: over-hypd boy in bed, husband's migraine may be lifting slightly, new cargo trike here and AWESOME.

12:16 pm

Hi, MG

Hi! How's stuff?

Hi Monkey!

12:17 pm

Hiya, Monkey. Yeah! New transportation! P.S. Got your payment via PayPal. Thanks muchly!

12:17 pm

Jellen

I woke up unusually early today...watched Indiana Jones instead of being productive...

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

Yeah 1/2 done and it isn't even dark. A new threshold for me.

12:17 pm

Jellen

Go jm!

12:18 pm

MonkeyGames

This trike is better than I could have dreamed. My father sent me the 350 Euros... teh day I agreed to buy it someone put one up on the same classifieds site, identical trike, 1100 Euros-- and they got it. MAN did I luck out!

12:18 pm

periwinkle

Jellen, how are you? How is Time doing?

12:18 pm

Judi

Nothing wrong with a dose of Harrison Ford,Jellen. Yummy at any time of the day.

12:18 pm

MonkeyGames

Glad you got that Judi, was about to e-mail you. Thank you SO much! We will try it and the one you so gracyiously ioncluded tomorrow if Danny doesn;t have holdoiver migraine. The beer arrived today and really cheered him up.

12:19 pm

Jellen

I am fine and Tim is fine. We're planning a trip to Las Vegas in a little over a week.

12:19 pm

Judi

That is awesome, Monkey! Makes up for the crummy day you had earlier this week (that reduced you to smoking medicinal mother nature).

12:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Good going, Jellen! I got up unusually early too-- but because Walter did. Sigh.

12:19 pm

Judi

You received it already? OMG! That was incredibly fast!

12:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, ahem, errr, hardly need an excuse, once the little one's well asleep... cough, ahem. But yes, and the week has sucked too because not having the bakfiets turns a 20 minute ride into a half hour fast walk followed by a long bus ride, so I am SOOOOO happy to have the new one!

12:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Itw as, wasn't it?

12:22 pm

Judi

Yes! I'm shocked but pleased you got it so quickly. I figured being the holiday season it would take longer than 6-10 days. Well, thank goodness for small miracles and competent postal employees. No trouble with customs, I trust?

12:22 pm

MonkeyGames

None whatsoever. Not ven a sticker on it, and no unexpected import duties either (they LOVE pulling that one).

12:23 pm

Atalante

I'm impressed - I sent a parcel over to best friend in the US a few days ago, and customs ripped the parcel to shreds, opened the cards, opened the CHRISTMAS PUDDING for goodness sake!

12:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh MAN! Yeah, they proctice random attacks on that one.

12:24 pm

Judi

Very cool. My anti-slosh packaging paid off. :-)) Isn't the box a riot?

12:24 pm

jesdraggon

oh, look. a nice small grid for the weekend

12:24 pm

Atalante

the very dangerous christmas pudding!

12:24 pm

Jellen

Over half way and really need to stop; we must make a dent in the chaos that is our jewelry work space...Have Christmas presents to make!

12:24 pm

Atalante

what a *darling*, jes

12:24 pm

MonkeyGames

It's HYSTERICAL! Especially that long and bizzarre piecemeal letter about apologies for tissue damage, that ends in the middle...

12:25 pm

Jellen

I'm behind, Ata. I thought you were still in the US!

12:25 pm

periwinkle

do you make jewelry, Jellen?

12:25 pm

Jellen

Hi, jes!

12:25 pm

Atalante

unfortunately no *sigh*!

12:25 pm

Jellen

Yes, peri. Tim and I make mostly earrings and some necklaces.

12:26 pm

Judi

Jeesh, Ata. Some bomb-sniffing dog must have "hit" on the pudding and wanted a taste. Which do you use in the pudding? Semtex or C4?

12:26 pm

periwinkle

do you have any pictures, Jellen

12:26 pm

jesdraggon

the grid, or the put, ata?

12:26 pm

jesdraggon

how's the morning treating you all?

12:26 pm

Jellen

I took a wire wrapping class and made a cool bracelet---not sure I can replicate it, though.

12:26 pm

Atalante

lol I'm have to ask Tesco's! I have a feeling it was because of the problems in India, it got to customs on the same day that Indian airports were put on high alert

12:26 pm

Judi

LOL. I know, Monkey. I think the brewers had had too many tastings when they designed that box.

12:27 pm

Atalante

the pup!

12:27 pm

periwinkle

where did you take the class, Jellen, sounds interesting

12:27 pm

Jellen

No pictures yet. I'll try to get some posted on Flicker soon.

12:27 pm

periwinkle

ok

12:27 pm

MonkeyGames

I'm going to go on about the trike a bit again now.

12:27 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, he is. i was really not happy with the woman for wanting him put away

12:28 pm

Atalante

grrrrrr yes. not surprised

12:28 pm

Jellen

I took the class at a bead store in Springfield, where Tim's oncologist is. It was actually a one-on-one session.

12:28 pm

Judi

Happy trails, Monkey! Enjoy!

12:28 pm

Jellen

Bye, MG!

12:28 pm

MonkeyGames

See, the one that died, it was so far gone that for the last several weeks the pedal assembly rocked back and forth an dthe front end bounced up and down. It was shockingly heavy and aleways felt like I was cycling through deep sand, and it pulled hard to the right.

12:29 pm

Judi

Hubby's beckoning. We're going out to slay a Christmas tree this afternoon. It's sunny out, but bloody cold. So, I'm off to bundle up. BBL, kids.

12:30 pm

jesdraggon

happy that i managed to convince her to let me rehome him (and ecstatic that my friend knew someone so fast!) but dreading the expected next few critters she brings in... 'cuz this isnt the first time the woman has pulled moves like this.

12:30 pm

MonkeyGames

The NEW one is a brand from Denmark renowned for its durability and easy steering. It weighs 35 kilos and feels like riding a regular bike. It is solid aluminum, and reeks quality. And they sold it for 1/3 what a second hand one is worth, and drove an hour to bring it to me! Of ocurse I gave themn a very nice wine.

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

Oh, and my OTHER news: I weighed myself this morning, and it gradually dawned on me that my weight loss crossed the 25 pound mark!

12:31 pm

I'm 1/3 of the way there!

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks! It's been a long road... but I feel better about it all now.

12:32 pm

Jellen

Congrats, MG!

12:32 pm

jesdraggon

indeed. it's a very frustrating thing though, and i'm faced with it regularly

12:33 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, maybe things are looking up! Just need to get that degree and see if the orthopedist is right about my back starting to improve in the next couple of months... then things may at last actually achieve stabilioty. Except for Danny's migraine this is a good day indeed!

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

my back took forever to completely heal but each week was better

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

What was wrong with yours? Glad it's better now!

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

herniated disk the worlds most painful thing I ever had including giving birth to a 12 pound baby

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

OUCH! I have two "slight" herniated discs and my baby only weighed 5 pounds.

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

I am going to try to roast up a turkey breast. Any advice? I have never done anything like that before.

12:36 pm

jesdraggon

slower is better, red

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

My back got steadily worse for 5 months, but I realized (also today actually) that it has not gotten worse in the past week, so maybe it's turning around.

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Wrap it in bacon for self-basting. The fattier the better.

12:37 pm

jmcnrick

It helps to brine it. Then cover the breast with a foil tent until almost done then remove the tent to brown

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

like for 3 hours at 300? or ?

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Stab it all over and shove garlic cloves in the slits, too.

12:37 pm

jmcnrick

It took me quite a while to figure out it was my back.

12:37 pm

jesdraggon

and if you have time, look up Alton Brown's turkey recipe. he brines it first, so it won't work for you this time if you're cooking it right now, but if this is for tomorrow...

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

I have garlic and sage...

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh dear. For me, I just put soap in the dishwasher and couldn't stand up again.

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

but keep in mind I pretty much will eat anything period.

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Monkey how awful.

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

I totally recommend Alton Brown's recipe except he eschews dressing.

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

garlic and sage sounds good

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

I'm used to it now-- that was at the end of July. Hurts like hell though.

12:38 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; but so do i, jmc ;)

12:38 pm

jesdraggon

garlic makes most anything better :)

12:39 pm

periwinkle

I LOVE Garlic

12:39 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I have no dreing. dressing. typing i so bad.

12:39 pm

jmcnrick

MG that is terrible. I asked my doc what happened and he said "u probably leaned over to pick up your shoes" I was drepressed by that thought for a week

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes. In fact if you eat more than 8 large clioves a day you are extremely unlikely ever to be bitten by a tick-- discovery made by the Swiss forestry service tires of paying for leave for Lyme disease.

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

Now I religiously bend at the knees.

12:40 pm

jesdraggon

but really, red, my primary way of cooking lately is to ask bruce to make me something ;)

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

red you don't have any bread like product in your house?

12:40 pm

Guess we're aging, eh? I'll eb 40 next month. Having a four year old makes it kind of hard to watch my back movement though...

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

sometimes he helps pick me up from the sofa! [giggle]

12:42 pm

redturtlehead

OK, well, I have a nice golden retriever who has removed ALL hair from his tail in trade?

12:43 pm

redturtlehead

he has to stay with me though because he stops eating at other homes...

12:43 pm

jesdraggon

i have 3 dogs already, red! i don't need a 4th, and unless the dog is a great cook, i think i'd be losing that trade.

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

so is there any help on sn clues I have only found the obvious one and I have been monkeying them for some time

12:44 pm

redturtlehead

Yeulu i not a good cook. But he is a great walker. and hair puller...

12:44 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, I only have the easy 4 letter one.

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Don't feel bad. My Great Dane can't cook either.

12:44 pm

No problem!

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Hey, jmc, how long did it take with your back before you felt it was really getting better?

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

I got three cortisone shots which made it bearable then physical therapy and being careful. It took, I hate to tell you, a year before I could say it was REALLY better. But only weeks before I could see the direction it was headed.

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

Its been two years and I am only occasionally reminded by it that I need to take care of my back. I still do the therapy exercises twice a week and make sure I bend at the knees. That hackneyed advice is true.

12:54 pm

lynxxx

Hi MG...I have had issues with my back for 20 years. 5/6 visits to a good chiropractor gets it back to normal if it really goes back. I now benefit from monthly maintenance trips to chiro. You learn to live with it - and what movements to avoid - like raking leaves!

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

Hmmm. OK. Well, as I said, mine has seemingly stabilized this week, after five months of etting worse. My orthopedist doen;t feel I'm a good cantidate for the shots, and i have already had all the ohysical therapy my insurabce will pay for, with no result, and seven acupuncture treatments (which, quite to my surprise, having had good resultes befoire, made it worse). OK. I did 2 1/2 years of severe RSI a while back, and 2 years with the smashed up knee, and 1 year with the smashed up foot... I can hold ouyt with this one. Thanks for the info.

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Lynxxx. In January my insurance resets, and a chiro is top of my list to try. I already know how to be careful of the knee and teh foot and the right arm, so adding a back should be do-able once I get through this acute phase.

12:57 pm

LynnNate08

ac 6/24 please first one?

12:57 pm

jmcnrick

The idea is to get the inflammation down enough that the disk can heal. The physical therapy didn't help instantly but it did allow me to get to a place where I could protect myself--then I had to start exercises to protect the knees I kept bending!

I have applied with my insurance for a "movement advice" program, so we'll see how that goes. Meanwhile untiol today I thought th einflammation must be down this week (this is a bad day for that) . Some kick-ass anti-inflammatories from the doctor didn't help. I'm sure it's just a matter of a little more time, especially now that the hellish grinding machine I havbe been forcing to Walter;'s school and all over has been replaced with this dream-to-ride miracle that arrived today.

3:05 pm

Scrabbler

At least he is being honest.

3:06 pm

mo

you can say that again!!!LOL!!!

3:06 pm

Scrabbler

He should say: only passive, submissive women need reply.

3:07 pm

phandmd

Hi, jumping in here

3:07 pm

Scrabbler

Hi phandmd

3:07 pm

Lindrickway

or only mental cases need reply!! LOL

3:07 pm

mo

he wants a "slave"....

3:07 pm

Lindrickway

hi phand

3:07 pm

phandmd

I am not defending this guy cuz I don't know him and I don't know what he means,

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

sounds like he wants an actively submissive woman to apply

3:07 pm

mo

hi phand

3:07 pm

flosey

whew!! wondered, for a minute, what I was walking into here kj!

3:07 pm

phandmd

however, do any of you who work submitt to your bosses?

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

I am the boss :-P

3:08 pm

Lindrickway

hi flosey

3:08 pm

flosey

hi lindi

3:08 pm

phandmd

well, do you have underlings that submit to you then?

3:08 pm

flosey

back to - hopefully, finish up last 27

3:08 pm

Jellen

Hi, flosey!

3:09 pm

mo

I never submitted to my bosses .... noooo way!!!

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

We have an animal farm kind of office. We are all equal but I am more equal than they are.

3:09 pm

Jellen

2 left!

3:09 pm

flosey

hi Jellen

3:09 pm

phandmd

really? you just did whatever you wanted?

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

go jellen!

3:09 pm

Lindrickway

go jellen go

3:09 pm

phandmd

and they didn't fire you?

3:09 pm

featherbee

48 to go, going to pick away at it a little more! nick's awake and playing beside me, daniel's still being grumpy bear in bed

3:10 pm

jmcnrick

It is actually a very hard thing to do--to fire someone

3:10 pm

mo

feather ... hope daniel is not your hubby!!!!

3:10 pm

Jellen

I have trouble submitted to bosses I don't respect---that's why I'm not working now:-)

3:10 pm

featherbee

lol, nope, hubby's gone today for nat'l guard. should be home soon.

3:10 pm

featherbee

nick's 16 months, daniel's 4

3:10 pm

phandmd

JMC, my point exactly. You are the boss you are in charge. you consider your employees that is great. It makes you a good person to work for.

3:11 pm

phandmd

but you are still in charge and what you say must go.

3:11 pm

Jellen

*submitting, that is

3:11 pm

mo

only kidding feather.

3:11 pm

Scrabbler

Hello new entrants

3:12 pm

phandmd

Firing someone didn't use to be a difficult thing to do. But in this day and age of political correctness no one can do/say anything without getting sued.

3:12 pm

phandmd

It's a bunch of BS

3:12 pm

featherbee

well.....hubby can often be a grumpy bear! not far off the mark mo, lol

3:12 pm

Scrabbler

88 to go and I see nothing, so it is time to open the list

3:12 pm

flosey

hi Scrabbs

3:12 pm

mo

LOL!!!

3:12 pm

Scrabbler

Go flosey go!!

3:13 pm

featherbee

what's that have to do with kje's personal ad guy phan? just curious if you're heading somewhere....

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

Even without being sued, it is not that easy. You have to tell someone that they have completely failed.

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

Having said that I will admit I have fired a number of people over the years including once my best friend

3:13 pm

phandmd

well, if they have, they should be let go.

3:14 pm

phandmd

Feather, I consider myself a submissive wife, but that doesn't make me a door mate and I was just pointing out that people don't really understand that word.

3:14 pm

kje

feather - have you ever seen the bow and arrow in NY? I am starting to doubt its existence

3:14 pm

featherbee

scrabs, how much can a kid truly gain in a growth spurt? i swear daniel's shot up a couple of inches in the past month

3:15 pm

featherbee

ahh, ok phan, gotcha.

3:15 pm

kje

go daniel go : )

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

My brother once grew an inch in one night.

3:15 pm

featherbee

it's a figment of the devs' imaginations

3:15 pm

Scrabbler

2 inches is a lot, but possible

3:16 pm

phandmd

back to word finding

3:16 pm

Jellen

Fireworks!!!

3:16 pm

featherbee

it's funny, because a couple of weeks ago, i knew he was going through one, he was suddenly starving all the time!

3:16 pm

featherbee

yay jellen!

3:16 pm

Scrabbler

especially with enough sleep and good nutrition

3:16 pm

Lindrickway

WTG jellen WOOHOO

3:16 pm

kje

phan - that is very different than answering the question, "what are you most passionate about" as this guy did... and starting out a relationship demanding submissiveness is not only a sign of a loser, it is a sign of an abuser... seen it too much in my profession

3:16 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo, Jellen!!

3:16 pm

phandmd

woot, Jellen!

3:17 pm

featherbee

well, i'd say def. an inch. haven't officially measured. just going by the pants, which i'm suddenly not needing to roll!

3:17 pm

phandmd

Oh, KJE, I agree. I wasn't trying to defend the guy at all. He probably is a loser, I don't know

3:18 pm

Jellen

What site was that on, kje?

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

yeah jellen

3:19 pm

featherbee

gotta go for a bit. see ya!

3:20 pm

kje

featherbee

3:21 pm

featherbee

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

enjoy, red.

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

Jellen

Ooh, how did you prepare it?

4:20 pm

I did not brine it. I sort of coated it in butter, shoved butter under the skin with some garlic and rubbed it with sage.

4:20 pm

redturtlehead

Smells good.

To be honest Chrissie that is why I'm looking forward to the toy service. We buy toys for children from families who don't usually get lmuch at Christmas. I bought most of ELC today :-) I think the Shannon Matthews case really brought it home to me this week

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

Chrissie, while I am content to drink there is some to be said about not getting sloshed around your kids--at least until they are old enough to get sloshed with you. Mine is 23.

5:26 pm

KatieMcG

sometimes you forget how lucky you are or were growing up. I bought stuff that didn't need batteries or made too much noise, hoping they will last the children some time

5:26 pm

6:16 pm

BlueAndAmy

oh NO katie... i JUST went through that a couple of months ago!!!!

6:16 pm

6:17 pm

renfield

6:17 pm

evanonut

ugh! NO REN

6:17 pm

KatieMcG

did it sort itself out B&A. more worried about wearing contacts to snorkle in two weeks time!!!!

6:18 pm

BlueAndAmy

my eye dr. said that because your eyes don't produce as many tears at night and tend to dry out when your eyes are closed, if there's a tiny scratch or abrasion on the surface and it tries to heal, when you reopen your eye in the morning the delicate healing tissue sticks to your eyelid and comes off

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

clues for last he word?

6:18 pm

BlueAndAmy

he gave me an anti-inflammitory & anti-biotic lubricant, but I had to take out my contacts for about 2 months because it kept getting worse

6:18 pm

mamabook3

not his...?

6:19 pm

BlueAndAmy

and i ended up needing an eyedrop with a litle steriod in it and it made my tongue feel funny hahahaha

6:19 pm

KatieMcG

hmmmmm not good. I might go to the doctors just in case! I really need to wear my contacts in the maldives

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

ty mamab [blush]

6:19 pm

redturtlehead

Oh you need to be able to snorkle properly. I have been thinking of going to the Keys myself...

6:19 pm

redturtlehead

I;d go to the docs.

6:20 pm

mamabook3

no problem :)

6:20 pm

BlueAndAmy

and DON'T rub it!!!! i did and i think that's why mine got worse

6:20 pm

KatieMcG

I can't tell you how excited I am about the holiday, warm sea, great fish, no Christmas at home :-) Will go to the doc next week. thank you for the advice B&A and Red

6:20 pm

redturtlehead

ok the dog is requiring an ambulation. I shall return...12 left still I am not getting them even wwith list!!!!

6:20 pm

Judi

Hi, again. Katie - give those contacts a good enzyme cleansing too before you put them back in. There's probably some cooties still living on them.

6:21 pm

BlueAndAmy

and make sure you put in lubricating drops or gel at night so it can heal :-) you're welcome!

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

Judi is right, I love the clear Care system...

6:21 pm

KatieMcG

I use daily disposables Judi, I never trust myself to clean the other ones properly

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

(Considering I spent the day at the eye doctor trying desperately to get my eyes to undialate, they are finally good.

6:22 pm

BlueAndAmy

hmmmm yeah not cleaning mine might have led to the original problem for me.... hahaha....

6:22 pm

KatieMcG

Ok bed calls I have to be in Church in 9.5 hours. Hugs all round *real poof*

6:22 pm

Judi

Hmm. Contacts probably not the problem then. Although, you may have a sensativity to the saline solution you are using.

6:23 pm

Judi

I've worn contacts for about 25 years, so I know a thing or two. Certainly not trying to trump Dr. Red.

6:24 pm

jmcnrick

night katie

6:24 pm

Judi

And NEVER sleep with your contacts in. Bad for the eyes.

ok what it does is give you the first two letters of all of the words in the grid and the number of letters in each word. So the first clue is ac 4,6 which means there is a four letter word starting with ac which will net you 6 points

6:34 pm

stidmama

Oh, I am glad for them, Scrabs. I hope no news is good news for Ben

8:22 pm

bichon

Scrabs, glad you are here. My daughter was here today with her daughter [my g'daughter of course] and she said her pediatrician told her not to feed the baby [13 mo.] whole wheat bread until 18 mons. Have you ever heard of this?

8:22 pm

suzannenorris

thanks scrabbler

8:24 pm

dcseain

hi, scrabbs

8:24 pm

dcseain

kittens are overrated

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

Bichon, IF a person has gluten senstivity (celiac disease/gluten enteropathy) then wheat/gluten will cause problems, but DELAYING exposure to wheat won't prevent it. If you have the genetic predisposition THEN you will have trouble regardless of the age.

8:24 pm

dcseain

i swear, i want a cat next time

8:24 pm

dcseain

sill soft-hearted me

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

No, no,no, Seain. You will someday miss having a kitten.

8:25 pm

bichon

No, none of that applies here. Stumped me.

8:25 pm

dcseain

mayhap, scrabbs, but that's not happened to me the last 2 times

8:25 pm

bichon

This is specifically whole wheat bread, not white

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

I do not understand the reasoning, bichon.

8:26 pm

bichon

Okay, maybe it was something that got lost in translation. That happens with my daughter. She has auditory memory problems

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

Or the doc really advised that.

8:27 pm

dcseain

here where i grew up, we avoid peanuts and honey for 2 years with youngins.

8:28 pm

bichon

that makes sense DC

8:28 pm

bichon

Anyone have the second sh 5/14 the one after the out building

8:28 pm

Scrabbler

Honey is OK after age 12 mo, and most allergists advise delaying peanut exposure til age 2-3 yrs.

8:28 pm

dcseain

insert a cons in the sh4

8:29 pm

Scrabbler

She sh*** away from peanuts due to her allergy.

8:29 pm

dcseain

all the people and kids i know with peanut issues are from the North.

8:29 pm

dcseain

or the West

8:29 pm

bichon

Cute Scrabs.. But no, the one before that one

8:30 pm

dcseain

insert a cons in the sh4 structure, bichon

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

That was one of my calls today--a 14 mo old with hives just after her first exposure to peanut butter.

8:30 pm

dcseain

a 'sh5' of pottery

8:30 pm

bichon

My CA g'daughter just had a bad peanut reaction. She has an epi pen with her at all times now [except when her parents forget :-((((!

8:31 pm

bichon

Ty DC

8:31 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, I called in a Rx for EpiPen.

8:31 pm

pam

I just don't understand why/how the seeming increase in peanut allergies......

8:31 pm

itsonme

Gracias dcseain

8:31 pm

dcseain

de nada, como siempre, itsonme

8:32 pm

pam

does it correlate to all the new vaccines/boosters kids get? Does it correlate to nothing? Does it correlate to something in the water/air/formula? OK, maybe I am exhausted, LOL

8:33 pm

dcseain

around here, it correlates to parents from the North or West

8:33 pm

Scrabbler

One idea, supported by some studies, is cross-reactivity with soy protein. Soy products are commonly ingested now and the protein is similar to peanuts. And if pregnant women cnsume soy then the fetus/kid is sensitized.

8:33 pm

itsonme

haha, Pam

8:33 pm

dcseain

oh, interesting, scrabbler

8:34 pm

BlueAndAmy

wait, really scrb? soy while pregnant can lead to that?

8:34 pm

dcseain

but one would expect higher rates of peanut allergies among asians then. or mayhap the metabolize soy differntly from euro-afro-amerinds

8:34 pm

pam

does sensitized mean grows inured to or does it mean made more sensitive to?

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

Whatever a pregnant/breast feeding woman consumes can mean that the fetus is also exposed.

8:34 pm

itsonme

I haven't heard that before Scrabbler, interesting indeed.

8:34 pm

bichon

Interesting Scrab. i'll have to convey that idea to my daughter-in-law

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

Sensitized means that the immune system forms antibodies.

8:35 pm

dcseain

scrabbs, might there be a handy link to the study, or a decent summation of such?

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

I have seen breast feeding babies develop hives after their mother has eaten peanut butter andanother kid--the mom ate clams.

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

Hmm, Seain--let me look.

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

No bother, Carlee. I am the Babble Medical Advisor, helping all navigate the medical quagmire.

8:41 pm

stidmama

he said it looked like the iliotibial band is inflamed... but that doesn't adequately explain the totality of symptoms. So I will need to talk to the doc again and ask for clarification.

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

Stid, so you have no anatomical problem--more functional, inflammatory?

8:41 pm

stidmama

but no more injections and such.

8:41 pm

carleekat

not so much medical....well...i don't know..how does one best deal with an alcoholic who is drunk..who is screaming at u?

8:41 pm

stidmama

hey carlee (((hugs)))

8:41 pm

carleekat

I've had almost NO experience in life with alcoholics....especially drunk ones

Drunks, as with other addicts, lie, manipulate, deny, accuse, get angry...

8:43 pm

8:43 pm

stidmama

carlee -- call the police.

8:44 pm

carleekat

and he is THE BEST kid....i lovehim to bits

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

He needs to go to Ala-Teen for support and advice,to learn that he cannot change her.

8:44 pm

stidmama

in the united states (I know you're in Canada) verbal abuse is abuse. And you deserve to be safe

8:44 pm

carleekat

our community too small

8:44 pm

dcseain

and/or seek a restraining order, even if a temp one.

8:44 pm

stidmama

oh, yay wv!

8:44 pm

carleekat

no ala-teen

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

Is he still in high school? He is not a minor at 18.

8:44 pm

stidmama

or the child needs to be safe

8:45 pm

carleekat

he went back for extra credits....wants to be a police officer..is in army reserves

8:45 pm

Get some info for him, to learn about how alcoholics think and behave.

8:45 pm

8:46 pm

itsonme

my father is kind of crazy and he just gets off sometimes and yells at my mom all night waking her up, and she called the police one time and they told her if she calls them again for the same reason she would go to jail

8:46 pm

dcseain

we were lucky, she is a happy drunk.

8:46 pm

carleekat

i've just unplugged land line so won't callhere again and wake me tonight

8:46 pm

stidmama

it is very important that he understand this is NOT his doing, and he deserves to be safe

8:46 pm

crpw48

thats a shame, he probably feels trapped, wants to help her , thats what most kind souls do

8:46 pm

carleekat

this one a poor pity me drunk...

8:47 pm

carleekat

ok..so... I am doing RIGHT thing by not forcing him to go home...( I know that SHOULD seem like a DUH thing...but....)

8:47 pm

dcseain

yes, but they cannot be helped until they want to help themselves, as we saw growing up.

8:47 pm

stidmama

YES carlee, you are.

8:47 pm

Many addicts manipulate by becoming victims

8:47 pm

You must keep him safe. You are doing the right thing.

8:49 pm

8:49 pm

dcseain

it's wonderful that you can provide a safe harbour for him, it really helps a lot.

8:50 pm

dcseain

and yes, many layers of denial usually.

8:50 pm

pam

Download Alanon stuff for her son. Let him know you will always provide safe haven.

8:51 pm

dcseain

sounds like the young man has a solid head on his shoulders, and is on a good path. Providing him safe haven, and him trying to move on with minimal envolvement weth her are probably for the best for now.

Thanks, tyger...it didn't take long...I googled orange and wallpaper...

11:09 pm

I'm here to help clue, as well as chat, if needed

11:11 pm

Nef

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

well, not really, but I truly appreciate the thought

11:11 pm

Jellen

So am I, tyger. Just watched the Missouri-Oklahoma football game...

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

I'll explain when I respond

11:12 pm

Jellen

Yes, I finished this afternoon!

11:12 pm

tygerbryght

I figured you were finished. I came in just as you were giving a clue :)

11:13 pm

tygerbryght

I finished just before I came in. I've been mostly out from about 5:00 on. son took me to dinner; it was great, and then with him to pick up some stuff he'd bought earlier

11:13 pm

Nef

Well, I'm glad that you guys finished! I've had too put in several hours of work and then went out to supper with off-springs and nw laundry and dealing with DH's ingrwn tenail

11:14 pm

Nef

I'm not going to finish at this rate. :(

11:14 pm

tygerbryght

I usually try to get about half the words - or at least a hundred, on big grids - after the new grid goes up, but then I hardly ever get back to the grid until 4pm at earliest, often later

11:14 pm

tygerbryght

ingrown toenail? aw, my sympathies to him (and to you dealing with it)

11:15 pm

Nef

he has MS and basically no feeling frm his waist down; so *I* do it so he wn't hurt himself!

11:15 pm

tygerbryght

I had that a couple of times when I was younger, but not in many years, thank goodness

11:15 pm

tygerbryght

oh, my. ((((nef & hubby))))

11:16 pm

tygerbryght

ingrown toenails take a lot of careful effort

11:16 pm

tygerbryght

but I'm keeping you from the grid :( sorry

11:16 pm

Nef

thanks. We do kay, each watching out for the other! :)

11:16 pm

tygerbryght

it's always that way in the best marriages

11:16 pm

Nef

Any help with the ca 5/14s, please? I can't seem to monkey either ne

11:17 pm

Nef

(and my vowels keep skipping) :-(

11:18 pm

tygerbryght

ca5/14: ca* is a not-nice guy + **do (from everybody's least favorite class of words in grids)

11:18 pm

tygerbryght

ca5/14: plural of arrived (weird as it seems)

11:18 pm

tygerbryght

2nd again: ca + not you but ** + plural

11:19 pm

tygerbryght

1st again: ca + artists **aw + vowel

11:19 pm

Jellen

ca5= rhymes with pa5/14 (Spanish father)

11:20 pm

Nef

I got the 1st one, it's your first clue I didn't get

11:20 pm

tygerbryght

1st again: ca + artists **aw pictures + vowel

11:20 pm

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

11:22 pm

Jellen

I agree, jilli!

11:22 pm

Nef

11:22 pm

tygerbryght

sorry, jilli, but my vote is with jellen's - need sunglasses for it

11:22 pm

tygerbryght

yours isn't that bad, in teeny doses, so long as one only has to see it once in a lifetime :D

11:23 pm

jillibus

It was ok, thanks, jellen -- Lean Cuisine chili and salad with Ranch, and a King apple given to me by flosey's hubby, from a tree 150 years old

11:23 pm

tygerbryght

I gather it was intended for a "country kitchen" :P

11:23 pm

tygerbryght

King apple? don't think I've ever heard of that variety

11:24 pm

gapeach

Jellen

11:33 pm

kje

11:34 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, my dad wasn't. he'd eat any fish. he bought canned herrings on occasion - and ate them all alone! :D

11:34 pm

jillibus

theme for Dec 7 is flamingoes OR being grateful (for the victory after Pearl Harbor)

11:34 pm

tygerbryght

11:35 pm

gapeach

Jellen could you reword the ca5-16 please? Thanks

11:35 pm

tygerbryght

11:35 pm

kje

11:35 pm

jillibus

I've given up with 53 to go -- rather chat and bug youse guys

11:35 pm

tygerbryght

ca5/16: not a hat but a ca* + **ter confusion

11:35 pm

Jellen

ca + *** the lime in the coconut?

11:36 pm

kje

smelts were a big deal in baltimore... but you could buy them already cleaned

11:36 pm

tygerbryght

baseball ca* + b**ter (not oleo)

11:36 pm

jillibus

ditto about smelts in Montreal -- lovely

11:37 pm

Jellen

Doesn't mean anything like I thought it did!

11:37 pm

tygerbryght

around the Great Lakes, there's a smelt season. IIRC, it's late spring?

11:37 pm

gapeach

OMG, thanks, I finally got it.

11:37 pm

tygerbryght

told'ja it was Latin for head :)

11:38 pm

tygerbryght

yw, peach

11:38 pm

Jellen

I was thinking of ka***

11:38 pm

tygerbryght

I only had one year of HS Latin, but it has served me exceedingly well over the years

11:38 pm

tygerbryght

I figured that, jellen :D

11:38 pm

kje

OK, was going for the flip... but my second wind just blew out... so i will not make it

11:39 pm

kje

happy flip all... see you manana

11:39 pm

11:39 pm

jillibus

11:39 pm

Jellen

Bye, kje...sleep sweetly...

11:39 pm

jillibus

awww, kje!

11:39 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, is it used as I imagine?

11:40 pm

jillibus

je pense, oui, tyger

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

:D probably so, jilli. there aren't too many ways to use caput in a naughty joke that don't involve a he4 :D

11:41 pm

jillibus

kje -- just saw your icon -- can't imagine where that would be in my old home town! Not spanning the dirty yellow Whangpoo (huangpu) river, surely!

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

of the sort that Romans had on their doorposts

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

her profile says it hasn't been built yet, jilli. it's for some event in 2010, IIRC

11:43 pm

jillibus

I know, tyger, but can't imagine where it would be built.

11:43 pm

tygerbryght

I guess you'll either have to google it, or ask kje tomorrow

11:44 pm

jillibus

the joke wasn't about a head, exactly, but about a guy servicing a widow with extreme tact.

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

they may plan to demolish something historic that's occupying the site they want. they're doing a lot of that

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

LOL - my goodness, jilli. that DOES sound naughty

11:45 pm

jillibus

tyger, the only river in Shanghai is the dirty yellow Whangpoo (now known as the Huangpu)

11:45 pm

jillibus

Yep, tyger, hehe

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

:shrug: you know infinitely more about China than I, even though I've always been interested, and have read quite a bit

11:46 pm

Nef

hesa

11:46 pm

tygerbryght

well, think I'm going away until after flip. I haven't had a chance to play sudoku today. there's a great (free) site that you can select your difficulty level, and play for as long as you wish BBL

11:46 pm

Nef

sorry. I should try fr REAL words here, huh?

11:46 pm

jillibus
