cjmomma

night pav

12:46 am

mrpresident

ciao PAV!

12:46 am

ursh

mrp - if i remember correctly you are on no meds at all now - do your docs not regard your ordeal as maybe having left you with post traumatic stress

12:47 am

ursh

I read somewhere the p t s can be a problem with weight loss

12:48 am

mrpresident

ursh, I have been diagnosed with PTTS and they put me on meds to help with it... but the meds were worse for me and now I am stuck looking for a solution

12:48 am

cjmomma

meds only mask...

12:48 am

ursh

oh bugger mrp - what does the second t stand for

12:49 am

mrpresident

They put me on Efexor and I thought my heart would explode (anxiety) and I couldn't eat at all (nausea)... so I asked to come off them.

12:49 am

mrpresident

Post Treatment Traumatic Stress

12:49 am

cjmomma

I don't know what happened with you mrp, I just started babble when you went through this and didn't want to be rude and ask

12:49 am

hurshy

have you gotten any regular therapy? i've heard that there's a treatment involving rapid eye movement that is very helpful in dealing with the effects of trauma, and also cognitive behavioral is helpful...

12:50 am

mrpresident

cj, don't worry to ask about it, have been doing this since 2000, non friggin stop

12:50 am

ursh

here they seem to like to use eglanol which they can give to breastfeeding moms for anxiety and it seems to be the drug of choice

12:51 am

mrpresident

I do get regular therapy, it is required after my surgery(s)... but the therapist I have is not very useful. I am dropping her and finding another because I prefer/respond to congitive therapy

12:52 am

ursh

sorry mrp - i am sure you get sick and tired of talking about it - just interested as have daughter who has ptt after two attacks on her - one through the window of her car and one more recently at gunpoint

12:52 am

mrpresident

I can't stand going to a shrink, have them sit there and repeat everything back to me! I know what I said!!! I need a solution to get through to another level!!

12:52 am

ursh

*pts

12:53 am

mrpresident

oh ursh!! how awful!!! poor girl!!

12:53 am

cjmomma

you need a better therapist

12:53 am

hurshy

i hope you can find one who helps. the eye thing is called EMDR so if you find someone who is trained in that, it might be good. it usually goes with cognitive.

12:53 am

mrpresident

I will look that up hurshy... thanks for that :)

12:53 am

chic

mrp, what are some other symtoms of PTTS?

12:53 am

cjmomma

it's so hard to find a dr who actually listens

12:54 am

ursh

sad state of crime in SA and sadly picked on daughter who already has emotional problems

12:54 am

cjmomma

I'm sorry to hear that ursh

12:54 am

mrpresident

the symptoms are the same as post traumatic stress, but the medication and change of behaviour during the drug therapy is what is different. It alters you and is scary

12:54 am

mrpresident

ursh, big enormous across the pacific hugs to her!

12:55 am

ursh

ty mrp will pass this info and hugs on to her

12:55 am

hurshy

i'm reeling because i just found out that my boss is the sister of a fairly famous spy who has been in prison for over 20 years.

12:55 am

cjmomma

ohhh wow

12:56 am

cjmomma

think I'd get the desk or office as far away as possible

12:57 am

hurshy

no, i read the whole story and it's... it's more pathetic than anything

12:58 am

ursh

who did he spy for and on whom did he spy?

12:59 am

hurshy

there is some debate on the full extent bc some docs are still sealed. but the main thing was that he passed on stuff to israel that the US did not want to pass on

12:59 am

hurshy

it's called "friendly espionage"

1:00 am

cjmomma

that's just not right...

1:00 am

ursh

are one's innards not "entrail"

1:00 am

mrpresident

sorry ursh, that would be the Indian Ocean!!

1:01 am

ursh

nate

1:01 am

ursh

sorry

1:03 am

hurshy

i just can't imagine what it must be like to be connected to something like that... to have a family member who's got a long page on wiki, who's had books written about him... it's so surreal to me

1:03 am

cjmomma

ditto that

1:03 am

cjmomma

I'm a nobody and prefer it that way

1:03 am

o-o

pollard

1:03 am

mrpresident

ursh, I agree... entrail means to entwine.

1:04 am

hurshy

yep, you guessed it...

1:04 am

jillibus

In 1945 (I think) my organic chem prof at McGill felt that science should know no boundaries and passed on the (then secret) formula for RDX to the Soviets. He was arrested and we, his students, were shocked because he was really nice and a good teacher. He spent decades in jail, was just released a few years ago.
.

1:05 am

mrpresident

Hugabugs

1:32 am

jillibus

I agree, ursh -- didn't have time to get anywhere with the last few either

Oxford Dictionary = entrails - bowels - innermost part of a thing !! but maybe must be plural

1:33 am

Hugabugs

ursh

*not maybe - must be plural

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

1:35 am

jillibus

entrails ARE innards -- entrail is a coil (n) or to entwine (v) -- related, I guess to the innards

1:35 am

3:38 am

hiya MonkeyG! Managed to snare another virus, but otherwise not too bad for december. How are you? And the little Monkeyman?

3:46 am

MonkeyGames

Doing OK. Sorry about your virus! The old bakfiets was just hauled off for 100 Euros (the same as the tuneup on the new one will cost) by a metalworker who wants to make something fun out of it. Couldn't be happier with that conclusion for it! Scrambling and panicky about school, going to go out as a family and buy a tree in a little while, doing OK.

3:46 am

MonkeyGames

I still see newts. Everyone else seeing the pixar lamp cartoon?

3:47 am

3:50 am

MonkeyGames

I call mine a USB stick... but then I ca,ll my remote control devices remote controls as well, so I'm not the best consultant for this one.

3:51 am

rolin

3:51 am

sprite

*giggle* Me? Never!

3:52 am

Do you know yet if all three of the lower right O's are from the same root?

3:58 am

sprite

don't know yet, alas

3:58 am

MonkeyGames

OK! Two are, that much I do know.

3:58 am

sprite

one missing in action still there

3:59 am

MonkeyGames

Me too. Oh well, I'll glare at an f for a while!

3:59 am

sprite

that glare being an obnoxious phantom btw

4:00 am

MonkeyGames

It sure is.

4:00 am

sprite

found the 3rd and it is not with the same root.

4:00 am

MonkeyGames

This is a phantom-rich grid.

4:00 am

MonkeyGames

OK, thanks!

4:01 am

sprite

that was bad english, wasn't it? Doesn't have the same root, or doesn't come from the same root would have been better?

4:02 am

MonkeyGames

With is barely acceptable but would work better paired with "start": doesn't start with. But yes, from would work standalone there. Come from also fine.

4:03 am

sprite

thanks :)

4:04 am

sprite

am trying to work on my pronunciation too, lol.

4:04 am

MonkeyGames

Oh THERE is the second F from th eleft! Yay!

4:04 am

sprite

good job :)

4:05 am

MonkeyGames

You're pronunciation struck me as fine, but in order to evaluate it bettr we ahve to get together and do something fun.

4:06 am

MonkeyGames

You know what I hate? When I think I have found that elusive letter from somewhere and teh word turns out to come from a different source point.

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone. How's it going so far?

4:06 am

sprite

we most certainly will, MonkeyG, after you have your degree and things will be a little more relaxed! I remember you telling me my pronunciation was utterly Dutch, so I am trying to find out how to sound a little less clogwoggy, lol.

4:07 am

MonkeyGames

OK so far! Much better than the last couple.

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

That's a relief!

4:07 am

sprite

hi Sally! Am having a lot of fun with this one, but I am only halfway. How are you?

4:07 am

MonkeyGames

No, be proud of your heritage! Anyway, I should, all going well, get that degree on 23 January, four days before my 40th birthday. I think I should maybe plan a little something...

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

I'm fine. Just started, so only 26 so far. However, have large mug of coffee and have just finished a bacon sarnie so brain is now in gear.

4:08 am

sprite

oh I know, MonkeyG. That sucks. I hardly dare giving clues when people ask for a clue from a certain ti** either. I always seem to get it wrong.

4:08 am

MonkeyGames

Me too.

4:08 am

sprite

oh my, you are at least one better than me then, Sally. I didn't have breakfast yet. But coffee, yes!

4:09 am

sprite

Kazzer, you are so quiet! Buried in the grid?

4:13 am

MonkeyGames

Which letter does the 8 start with, if anyone knows?

4:14 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: intergalactic

4:14 am

sprite

sorry, my biggest is a 7 so far

4:14 am

o-o

ig --- unknowing

4:14 am

MonkeyGames

OK!

4:14 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, thanks!

4:15 am

sprite

my phantom for today is a sexual word, lol, and it isn't even close to being in the grid because there is just one L.

4:15 am

MonkeyGames

And hi BabRab!

4:15 am

sprite

hey BabbleRabble, so good to see you. How are you today?

4:15 am

sprite

thanks for the 8

4:15 am

o-o

hello, folks
doing olay, sprite

4:16 am

MonkeyGames

The 9 is a fish, for the record.

4:16 am

MonkeyGames

Not a real one like sturgeons or something.

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

I've seen Babblers talking about a fish before. I have the 9, so what do you mean by a fish?

4:16 am

sprite

that is great to hear, BabbleRabble. Enjoying the good days :)
MonkeyG, literally or not?

4:17 am

MonkeyGames

Not literally a fish, nor even a word meaning an actual fish. Just a word we all know and can eventually find.

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Thanks for the explanation.

4:17 am

sprite

a fish word is a word that is common, and when you ask a clue and find it, you feel a little stupid for having asked and then you need a fish slap to feel better again ;)

4:17 am

MonkeyGames

A fish is a word that should be easy enough to spot, Sally.

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

4:18 am

MonkeyGames

is also what we virtually whack ourselves and each other with for not seeing such words.

4:18 am

o-o

quite often here a fish is a red herring

4:19 am

MonkeyGames

It certainly can be! Well said.

4:19 am

sprite

and for the old time babblers it is a special word, because there used to be a time when every grid had a (real) fish. It was a kind of inside joke to ask if the fish of the day had be found already.

4:19 am

sprite

lol BabbleRabble

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

It seems to me every grid has a part of the body.

4:20 am

sprite

haven't really payed attention to that yet, Sally, but I will from now on!

4:20 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: oligarch

4:20 am

sprite

in dutch, a transformator is in short called a trafo. Not valid though.

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

My phantom today is garden

4:21 am

sprite

arrgghh thanks for bringing that one to my attention as well :P

4:21 am

MonkeyGames

Oh well. OK, time to perambulate the canid through the chill bleakity! Back later! Have fun everyone!

4:22 am

sprite

there is sun here, MonkeyG. Will send part of it to your place.

4:23 am

sprite

that is, part of the sun beams. Let's keep the sun in one piece for now.

4:27 am

sprite

hey I see I was very close to the sin bin just a few posts ago.

4:30 am

hydra

Morning, sprite, Monkey and sally. It's a very wet one in West London.

4:31 am

sprite

morning hydra!

4:31 am

hydra

How are you, sprite?

4:31 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Hydra. Very wet here too. Our stream is rushing like a torrent.

4:31 am

sprite

not too bad, hydra. Caught another virus, but otherwise am feeling ok. How about you?

4:32 am

hydra

I see you live in Shropshire. Lovely area. I have friends in Shawbury.

4:32 am

hydra

I'm fine thanks, apart from a washing powder allergy which is affecting an unfortunate part of my anatomy!

4:33 am

hydra

I usually use a hypoallergenic powder but my trousers went in my partner's wash by accident.

4:33 am

sprite

eeks hydra, that is very unpleasant. I hope it will subside very rapidly.

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

LOL

4:35 am

sprite

must love and leave you all, family matters to attend to. Have a fun day and/or a good night.

4:35 am

hydra

The words aren't exactly leaping from the grid into my brain today. Is it just me, or is it a tricky one?

4:35 am

hydra

Nice to see you, sprite. Have a good day.

4:35 am

Sally-catlover

By sprite

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

s/b bye

4:36 am

Jacula

Morning all.

4:37 am

hydra

((((((Jac))))))

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

I see the British are all waking up :-)

4:37 am

hydra

Not me. I'm still alseep :-)

4:37 am

Jacula

Hi Hydra. I see you've got itchy knickers again!

4:38 am

Jacula

The wind kept me awake last night. NOT internal wind, I hasten to add - the wind outside.

4:39 am

hydra

I thought I'd slept well, but I feel really tired today.

4:39 am

Jacula

It's a day for staying in anyway, Hydra. Non-stop rain.

4:40 am

hydra

Tried to start a new scramble game with you, Jac, but it wouldn't let me, for some reason. Can you start a scramble or a twist please?

4:40 am

Jacula

Beloved was 'supposed' to be out early finishing his Xmas shopping today, but he's in his dressing gown and wrapped in a faux fur throw on the sofa still.

4:40 am

Jacula

Hydra - I'm sure I've started one of the two with you and also a Text Twirl.

4:41 am

hydra

I was due to go into central London to the optician, but I cancelled and I'm so glad I did. Have you seen those things called Slankets? Buy him one for Xmas!

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

What's a Slanket?

4:41 am

Jacula

Slankets? I'll look them up.

4:41 am

hydra

Last time I was on, it said I had no current games. Weird. I shall have another look.

4:42 am

Jacula

LOL - a giant dressing gown!

4:42 am

hydra

Crossed with a sleeping bag!

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

NM, just googled Slanket. Must buy one for OH!

4:42 am

Jacula

Sally -Google it.

4:43 am

hydra

I want one for typing in as Mr Grumpy won't let me have the heating on.

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

Looks like a giant version of something I used to put my son in.

4:43 am

Jacula

It'd be ideal for that, Hydra.

4:44 am

hydra

Wonder if they make them big enough for two? You could have lots of fun!

4:44 am

Jacula

*Grins at Hydra.*

4:44 am

hydra

As long as you didn't fall off the bed and roll down the stairs!!!

4:45 am

Jacula

LOL!

4:46 am

hydra

I've found a measly 43 words. Must go and make a coffee now to warm myself up. See you in a bit.

4:47 am

Jacula

90 found here. See you later, Hydra.

4:48 am

Jacula

Sally - I think I had something like that for my son, too. It did up at the bottom with buttons and a flap.

4:48 am

rolin

morning all...

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

That's right Jacula. We used to lift him in it when going out, leave him with parents.

4:49 am

Jacula

Morning Rolin.

4:49 am

Sally-catlover

Don't think he would appreciate one now since he is nearly 39!

4:50 am

Jacula

I used to envy my son on wet and windy days when he was snug in his pushchair and a big, fleecy bag thing and under a rain cover.

4:50 am

Atalante

I'm not reaqlly here cos I'm going back to bed after getting no sleep from the oast house sounding like it was about to fall down around my ears all night long. But I just wanted to add my adoration of those Slankets. WANT!

4:50 am

rolin

isnt it a wonderful day to hunker down with the pc?

4:50 am

Jacula

LOL, Sally. Mine's nearly 25, so I think he'd feel like yours.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

However, mine has new baby so I can buy, buy, buy!

4:51 am

Jacula

Hi Ata. Yes, it was rather a wild night. (Not in the exciting sense!)

4:51 am

Atalante

wasn't it just!!

4:51 am

rolin

thats what im doing...and with my loads and loads of prerecorded stuff

4:51 am

Jacula

Rolin - It is.

4:52 am

Jacula

One of our garden benches blew over in the night but the lawn's a lake, so no chance of squishing across to pick it back up.

4:52 am

Atalante

Another big branch came off our willow, but somehow no tiles came off the roof. I'm absolutely amazed

4:53 am

Jacula

I haven't been outside to check for any damage yet. The cat was out all night but he's back okay.

4:53 am

rolin

wow..we've had rain and wind..but nothing like that

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

It was pretty bad here. Hens growing webbed feet again.

4:54 am

Atalante

Hobbit walked outside, got nearly blown over, did her business and ran back in

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

LOL. Don't blame Hobbit. Great name for a dog by the way.

4:55 am

rolin

the only walking is to hobble round the lounge...i just dont to need the loo for a while..

4:55 am

Atalante

spaniels are so funny in wind. their ears blow backwards

4:55 am

Jacula

Poodles are the same, Ata.

4:55 am

Atalante

oh I bet!

4:57 am

Jacula

If your innards are ent5/10s, why isn't en+t5/10 a word?

4:58 am

rolin

i tried that too jac..and was told it only exists in pl..

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

I know, it's one of the words I always try and always fail

4:58 am

Atalante

ditto

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

The other one that irritates is that an orfe is a fish, but not allowed, but lots of other weird foreign fauna are allowed.

5:00 am

Jacula

Also, squirrel's drey not allowed.

5:00 am

rolin

my irritation is how slang from some countries are allowed but not from other countries

5:00 am

Sally-catlover

Ditto.

5:01 am

rolin

has anyone been watching the bbc4 program on italian art?

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

No, sorry, don't have TV.

5:01 am

Jacula

No, Rolin.

5:02 am

Atalante

I have it stored up on iplayer to watch

5:02 am

rolin

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

Me too (Italio-phile). Going to Venice and Florence next April.

5:03 am

Atalante

5:11 am

Ooh, I just found one of my old goldfish in the grid (fa7/40).

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

I thought that was a bird?

5:15 am

Atalante

bird and fish :)

5:15 am

Jacula

It's also a type of fish.

5:15 am

Atalante

and now I'm going to go and hunker back down under my duvet for a while! bbl!

5:16 am

Jacula

Stay warm, Ata.

5:17 am

Atalante

that is my number 1 intention :D

5:19 am

Aloyisius

6:27 am

Scrabbler

20 degrees F now and fresh snow, making it quite beautiful here in the woods.

6:28 am

Aloyisius

good for x-c skiing.. fluffy or wet snow?

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Fluffy. Two friends will join me for XC-skiing tomorrow. I may out by myself today, if I see several cars at the tr***head. I will not risk being alone in the woods.

6:30 am

Aloyisius

wise move, Scrabs.. glad you have power.. watched the news last night.. so many are in the dark because of ice storms

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that happened in eastern NY and New England--bad storm!

6:32 am

Aloyisius

6:45 am

dromano66

anyone help with the an/9, please?

6:45 am

LadyNatts

I don't think there is any other clue, droman... "before birth"

6:46 am

dromano66

ty, got it

6:46 am

Aloyisius

use the common prefix for "before" , then tag on the beginning of *****ie Woodward, the movie star who drowned

6:46 am

dromano66

i was struggling with that

6:46 am

herinfernallady

the 8 is an IG?

6:46 am

herinfernallady

never mind.Perfect word for this time of year

6:46 am

LadyNatts

yes, herin

6:47 am

LadyNatts

lol herin

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Its true people are soooooooooo rude this time of year

6:48 am

LadyNatts

you're so right about that

6:49 am

herinfernallady

I was at the store long enough today to realise that AND my g.f just point out to me that its 12 days before Christmas and stuff still isn't finished and the weather is not helping grow my lemons

6:53 am

PureTest

hey wats 3rd letter of an9? im struggling

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Occurring before birth this is what it means.

6:54 am

LadyNatts

think picnic pest, puretest

6:55 am

Aloyisius

or corrupt spelling of not your uncle

6:57 am

herinfernallady

Why isn't plural of stomach innards allowed

6:57 am

Aloyisius

pl is, but not the singular

6:58 am

LadyNatts

I've often wondered about that

6:58 am

herinfernallady

crap thank you. I meant the opposite. I was trying to get make up out of my eye

6:58 am

Aloyisius

lol, np herin.. hope your eye is cleared

6:59 am

herinfernallady

no. I am getting make up wipes from a g.f soon. On Monday I am having my eyebrows and lashes tinted and my eyebrows shaped. Never done it before since im blonde

7:00 am

Aloyisius

sounds like a good move.. eliminate the need for mascara

7:00 am

LynnNate08

good morn' all hows the grid?

7:01 am

Brookie

i never knew you could get your eyelashes tinted... very interesting!

7:01 am

Aloyisius

grid is okie dokie Lynn.. am almost finished and it isn't too big.. good for a busy day

7:01 am

LynnNate08

good

7:01 am

herinfernallady

You can but I think its a waste of money as all the time thing to get your eyebrows waxed and shaped. I wanted a treat.

7:02 am

herinfernallady

HI Lynn

7:02 am

LynnNate08

hi her

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Brook we have a Day Spa place that does it. A lot of beauty stores do. Not a hairdresser thing. Different dye

7:02 am

Brookie

there's nothing wrong with a treat!

7:03 am

herinfernallady

HOw are you mamma Lyn

7:03 am

Brookie

i'm clueless when it comes to beauty stuff

7:03 am

herinfernallady

ANd it will stop me from poking myself in the eye with mascara.

7:03 am

LynnNate08

im ngood so far

7:04 am

LadyNatts

oh my goodness! I didn't realize I was so close to finishing.. I've only 3 left

7:04 am

herinfernallady

I was clueless till i was taught by a drag queen and make up artists

7:04 am

Brookie

poking in the eye is never good

7:04 am

Brookie

aah, that's my problem, i don't know any drag queens or make up artists

Hi JBV--how is your husband?

12:34 pm

JBV

cybernan, that's a beautiful poinsettia in your icon

12:34 pm

JBV

hi scrabbler, thanks for asking - he is much much better, but is still not out of the woods - briefly, we are still not sure if the surgery had the intended result and if all systems are go, if you know what i mean

12:34 pm

Scrabbler

I am clueless about that ae7

12:35 pm

Scrabbler

Post-surgical healing takes about 6 wks or so.

12:36 pm

JBV

well, progress is being made and we are very hopeful

JBV

the visiting nurse just did an intake assessment and will be ordering nursing care at least once daily, so I will only be "on duty" for the evening tasks, that's good, maybe I can get back to work, I've been taking days off like crazy

12:37 pm

Scrabbler

Home nursing care will help.

We are too. But weekends are when Daddy acn sopend time doing fun stuff. We looked and looked for a tree but only found huge ones and expensive ones, and gave up when Walterw as nearly blue and I couldn't feel my hands. We decided the one from lat year might not be too big after all, pruned it and brought it in, and Walter stayed up late so we could get it doine.

1:24 pm

smilesoplenty

woo, teach!!

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Yay teach!

1:24 pm

JBV

monkey, do you mean it was in the ground? or in a pot?

1:25 pm

JBV

congrats, wvteach!

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

In a pot. We have no garden, just a deck. But it did grow quite vigoroiusly throughout the past year.

1:26 pm

JBV

that's very nice, and very convenient , and very economical!

JBV

I have no such source of instant Christmas tree, so I am still deciding whether I want to conjure up my last bits of energy to do the tree this year

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes. But Walter's class gopt off even cooler-- THEY got to go to the forest and walk aroiund with an forestry department official and choose and cut a tree for the classroom. He had a blast. That was Friday.

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Judi!

1:27 pm

wildcat17

that would be fun mg

1:27 pm

JBV

that sounds like a fun trip

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Nobody's curious about my dinner? I will say that springbok makes a REALLY fine Wellington. Just for the record.

1:28 pm

wvteach

we have 5 former xmas trees out in our yard- one of them has been topped off two times to let us have a new tree. They have grown as tall as our house and taken over the yard

1:28 pm

Judi

I always try to talk hubby into getting a fake tree ('cause I think the live ones are best left alive). But, no, we have to go out and slay one every year.

1:28 pm

JBV

saw that earlier, monkey - where did you get it - fresh? frozen? tell us

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

My grandparents' tree was, by the time I was old enough to appreciate it, about 40 feet tall...

1:29 pm

Judi

If memory serves, isn't a springbok a small deer-like creature?

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Springbok is farmed in Germany. Gets cheaper every year; about equivalent to decent beef now, price-wise. Fresh. It's like less gamey venison. Really tasty.

1:31 pm

Sounds delish. I wish they would start farming ostrich here in the states. I love ostrich meat.

1:31 pm

MonkeyGames

Got it at the supermarket.

1:31 pm

Trifioso

MG!!!! How are you? Long time no type!

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

They had ostrich today too, on sale. My husband didn't like it once at a restaurant, so we don't get it much. Kangaroo should turn up again soon, too.

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

HI TRIF!!! Doing OK, but wiped out and just have another minute... you doing OK?

1:32 pm

Judi

I'm trying not to eat red meat these days. Anything without hooves is fair game, though.

1:33 pm

wvteach

fo 6 - like the word for "don't remember" but change the last vowel

1:33 pm

MonkeyGames

I'm basically a carnivore,but unlike my husband will eat lighter meats and fish and vegetables.

1:33 pm

Trifioso

I am holding up. I didn't send out cards, because what on earth would I say? "ho ho hope you don't get dumped?"

1:33 pm

wvteach

fo 6 - like the word for "don't remember" but change the last vowel

He will not eat anything with more than four legs or fewer than two, though.

thanks wv, was getting a headache looking for that one

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

MonkeyGames

I understand, Trif. It's a tough year. Hang in there!!!!!!!!

1:34 pm

wildcat17

aww tri

1:34 pm

Judi

Well, he shouldn't be opposed to a newt sandwich, then, Monkey!

1:34 pm

wvteach

glad to help - and now to the cookies

1:34 pm

Trifioso

the funny thing is, to see who sort of knows the deal, by the way THEY address the cards - haven't got several just addressed to me and the kids, so they are clearly in the know....

1:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Hee, hee! And he did try that whale.... For the record we are totally against any form of whaling but it was already done, brought over, and served by a friend at his house for dinner.

1:35 pm

Trifioso

sorry, that was supposed to be HAVE got several addressed....poor grammar either way, really

1:36 pm

Atalante

poor native inuit people, starving without their whales to eat

1:36 pm

Trifioso

MG, when I lived in Washington DC, it was quite en vogue to go to the World Bank cafeteria for lunch - the selection of items they had on offer each day was always unique

1:36 pm

Judi

Huh. Isn't whale rather blubbery?

1:36 pm

MonkeyGames

He's Icelandic.

1:36 pm

MonkeyGames

No, the blubber and meat are well separated. It tasted like a fabulous steak that had been left in a bag for two long in a bag with a bad mackerel.

1:37 pm

featherbee

ewww

1:37 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, you win. Not ANY form of whaling.

1:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I won't be eating it again, but it was WAY better than the rotted shark delicacy.

1:37 pm

Judi

Ewwww. Fear factor food. Those crazy Icelanders eat the weirdest things.

1:37 pm

featherbee

double ewwww

1:38 pm

MonkeyGames

I respect the Inuit's right to their culture and the necessity to use that food source.

1:38 pm

Trifioso

ooohhh - look how close "chog" is to being a word today!

1:38 pm

Atalante

rotted shark is *foul*

1:38 pm

smilesoplenty

how about that andrew zimern guy on bizarre foods

1:38 pm

And you sure this was a FRIEND serving you dinner?

1:38 pm

Trifioso

lol judi!

1:38 pm

wildcat17

lol

1:38 pm

Trifioso

I am sure that does reduce his number of invites a year...

1:38 pm

Judi

What did you do to piss him off?

1:38 pm

featherbee

lol judi

1:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh yes. Very good friend. He ate half the jar of the rotted shark. I ate one piece because I was raised by an anthropologist. You could smell it through the glass. Not kidding. OK, I must off. Trif, if you need to talk you can always e-mail. I'll be on again later. Have fun everyone!

*passes tray of rotted shark* Here, try this. It's to DIE for!

1:42 pm

Trifioso

what about that fugu sushi - the one made from pufferfish, where if they don't cut it juuuuust right you die an instant and agonizing death? How good must it be to risk death? really?

1:42 pm

Atalante

its very very good!

1:42 pm

Atalante

and the chefs do train for years ...

1:43 pm

Judi

I like sushi, so I would probably try it. But only if I knew it was prepared by a master sushi chef (and I didn't have to pay for it).

1:43 pm

featherbee

no fish food for me, ick. tuna's ok. as in tuna fish sandwiches.

1:44 pm

Judi

Raw tuna is much less fishy than canned tuna, Feather. My husband is the same way tho. More shark?

1:44 pm

Trifioso

I like absolutely everything that comes from the ocean, being a Massachusetts gal. Raw oysters are where I draw the line though - phlegm on a shell. Gross

1:45 pm

featherbee

*pinches nose* no thanks!

1:45 pm

Atalante

me too Trif. I'm a marine biologist :)

1:45 pm

Judi

Yeah. Oysters are gross.

1:45 pm

Trifioso

are you really ata? I will have to tell my daughter about you - she wants to go in to the field, so very much

1:45 pm

featherbee

am i being dense, or is this grid tough?

1:45 pm

wildcat17

it's tough

1:46 pm

Judi

The cat has planted himself in front of my screen. Must be all the talk of fish. BBL.

1:46 pm

featherbee

or is the seafood talk turning my brain cells to mush?

1:46 pm

Atalante

yep, my degree was marine biology, my PhD was marine palaeontology, mainly fishies

1:46 pm

Trifioso

the other thing I am not sure I could *knowingly* eat is eel. If you gave me a plate of some fish dish, I would happily tuck in, no worries. If you handed it to me and say "here, try the eel" I might not be able to hurdle the visual.

1:46 pm

Atalante

you dont'' ever get an eel on a plate :)

1:46 pm

Trifioso

oh, that is so cool ata. What is your area of application now, research?

1:47 pm

wildcat17

bbs

1:48 pm

Atalante

well I dont' do it full time at the moment, but my main area of research is extinction and survival in the fossil record, quality of the fossil record, dead fishies from about 250 million years ago

1:49 pm

featherbee

ok, told myself i was getting up 20 minutes ago. cya!

1:49 pm

Trifioso

secondo just walked by, so I filled her in, and she is WAY suitably impressed - and so am I DR. Ata!

1:49 pm

Atalante

LOL it's not that impressive!

1:50 pm

Trifioso

it is to me, so take the compliment, and pat your self on the dorsal plane

1:50 pm

Atalante

lol ok :P

1:51 pm

Atalante

it's why I'm always twittering on about random dead fish and things I find on the beach!

1:53 pm

Trifioso

that is something we like to do too. my husband's new place is SMACK on the beach and apparently he has found all sorts of great stuff. I haven't been there, so I can't say, but the kids say it's cool. I myself am mad for sea glass, and my lifetime collection was large enough that I did my kitchen backsplash as a big mosaic made out of some of my collections

1:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi again briefly. 6 minutes to something on TV. Wanted to mention that unpalatable as that whale was it was much better than African lion.

Hello, Fellow Babblers. There seems to be some strange words here today. I often wonder why some words (such as fr 4/9)are allowed but not words such as cath or Meds!

3:05 pm

smilesoplenty

well, I will prob lose a lot of weight

3:05 pm

NonnieLight

Oh my gosh...I hope you're feeling better now.

3:05 pm

NonnieLight

hello nef

3:05 pm

Nef

smiles, that sounds pretty miserable!

3:06 pm

Nef

Hi nonnie

3:06 pm

smilesoplenty

I still have pain, but they gave me drugs. If I still have probs next week, I'll go to my doc and see about getting it out. there's a stone in it

3:06 pm

Michnick

Hi Nef, I am with you 100%, I always try those words, I keep hoping Babble will catch up.

3:06 pm

smilesoplenty

every time i eat, i feel bad

3:07 pm

smilesoplenty

sux, because I love to eat!!

3:07 pm

Nef

can you tolerate a BRAT diet, smiles? (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast)?

3:08 pm

smilesoplenty

kinda what I am eating now

3:08 pm

smilesoplenty

docs told me bland food with little fat

3:08 pm

smilesoplenty

no spicy

3:08 pm

NonnieLight

I had mine out about 1 1/2 years ago. The pain is gone BUT the side effects of the surgery are not all the pleasant.

3:09 pm

smilesoplenty

yeah, if you eat too much fat, you have probs

3:09 pm

Nef

yep. That's the typical bland diet. The brat diet is recommended for anyone with GI problems I think

3:09 pm

smilesoplenty

my mom and sis had theirs out, so it was only a matter of time

3:09 pm

NonnieLight

Not even just the fat. I can eat something one day and I'm fine, the next it doesn't agree with me. Weird.

3:10 pm

even if I wanted to have kids, the pregnancy would be a difficult thing - I'd have to stop the drugs I take, and having a pregnant bipolar person high on moodswings would be interesting!

4:01 pm

oh, please are we talking about how we found out about the facts of life? we were given a book by the nuns that referred to "the marital embrace" - my mother refused to explain it to me - finally understood it in high school (just the idea, not the act)

4:08 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:08 pm

Scrabbler

That is funny, Une! When I was in 4th grade my 2nd grade friend told me how babies are made and I ran home to tell my mother so she would laugh about what my friend told me...I found out the truth...you and Dad did it like 4 times then?

Probably one of the funniest things Georgia did when she was just starting to talk.... We were shopping, and Hubby decided to "sneak one out" (botty burp) as we were walking round.... He always blamed it on Georgia when she was tiny, saying she needed changing...... He was talking to a friend, and he said... **sniff sniff** Georgia, do you need changing ?? ... Georgia said innocently "no Daddy, you farted " ..... I just roared with laughter !!

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

what kind of pup, min?

9:17 pm

Pinikula

I suppose part of my not having one is because it's just me and him...and I don't want to tempt the little snot!

9:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

however, perhspa i should work letter by letter - missing the aa and the ae

9:17 pm

Pinikula

aa5 = a sound a pirate might make...

9:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

my goodness that's not a word, that

9:18 pm

Pinikula

that's what I said, TO!

9:19 pm

9:26 pm

DLUC

9:27 pm

Minveryork

an 7/36 also means period before birth I saw earlier.

9:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok dluc, how does that play into the instrument named ae/eo pipes?

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

min; i found an9 meaning before birth; is there an7 also?

9:30 pm

Pinikula

9:31 pm

Pinikula

yes, pini, there is an an7. but does it ALSO mean before birth, as the an9 does?

9:47 pm

Pinikula

oh, no, jes

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

or am i frustrating myself because i misunderstood?

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

oh, thank goodness. i thought i was being totally blind.

9:48 pm

Pinikula

sorry, didn't put the two together in your comment before...

9:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

no an 7 means "not paingul" think of name for painkillers

9:48 pm

Minveryork

an 7/36 is an 4/4 + HBO movie role for Angelina Jolie.

9:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, "not painful"

9:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

think of prefix for without, as in without morals

9:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry i am really off

9:51 pm

jesdraggon
