12:32 am

stidmama

I had a phone call from someone who had seen a name on the public genealogy list I put up ... for a person who married a distant cousin! They were nice, but couldn't imagine that a) I had no idea who the person they wanted was and b) I didn't have any more information on this person who was so clearly not truly part of my family tree! (though I admit I do sometimes put in whatever I find)

12:32 am

Lindrickway

*sobs*

12:32 am

2:58 am

herinfernallady

Hi Christine. What is the Rose Parade?

2:58 am

DR1965

oh my!!! What is the rose parade...

2:59 am

DR1965

beautiful floats made out of flowers

2:59 am

herinfernallady

I have never heard of it before

2:59 am

DR1965

google pasadena tournament of roses

2:59 am

herinfernallady

ok

3:00 am

Christine

It's held annually in Pasadena, floats, bands, horses, flyover by the Stealth Bomber. It's one of the big tourist attractions, and I know it's seen in parts of Australia, NZ and UK

3:01 am

DR1965

has been around forever

3:03 am

herinfernallady

Ok so its like a harvest festivel

3:04 am

lynxxx

I've not seen nor heard it either, guess it never found its way down to Melbourne. Hi Infernal and DR

3:04 am

Birdeee

not harvest exactly- more like a spectacle based on the one rule that the floats have to be covered completely in real flowers.

3:05 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx. How was your night?

3:05 am

DR1965

hi lynxxx...

3:05 am

lynxxx

Quiet here, did you have a good time Infernal

3:06 am

Christine

About 100years ago, some landowners decorated their carriages, drove wou;d=be buyers around the citrus groves, so they'd return East and telleveryone how great the weather was, even in the middle og winter. It just grew from there.

3:07 am

Birdeee

it's also kind of connected to an american-style football game - the Rose Bowl, that elite college teams compete to be able to play in - this year it is Univ of Southern California and somebody else - maybe Penn State

3:07 am

DR1965

yes.. penn state

3:07 am

herinfernallady

Yes. I got um happy

3:07 am

Christine

Shoot - I need to learn to spellcheck, before I hit send

3:07 am

DR1965

and with that... I am going to bed

3:07 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Christine.

Birdeee

Hi herin

lynxxx

NBT at least one word from each available cell

3:10 am

lynxxx

No Blank Tiles

3:11 am

Birdeee

NBT means no more blank tiles and most everyone here probably passed that point long ago

3:11 am

Christine

What are the blank tilrs ? This has all changed since I playedd 2 or 3 years ago.

3:12 am

o-o

3:12 am

Birdeee

3:12 am

lynxxx

hi BR

3:13 am

lynxxx

Chris, its just a thing that some players aim for before they, say, call it a night, no biggie

3:13 am

Christine

Darn, I just stocked up on black tutus ... there's so few things a chubby 70+ can wear to really gkam affairs.

3:14 am

lynxxx

rofl

3:14 am

Birdeee

CHristine - under tile stats I am trying to get at least one word for each of the tiles that have letters that begin words. It is NOT black tutus - it means No Blueberry Turnovers

JBV

hi, scrabs, everything's good - here's my new year's challenge: he has to put on weight (lost more than 25 lbs. in hospital) and I'm as always trying to take it off - makes meal preparation real interesting

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Give him frequent small me4s.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

am5/14 please?

10:25 am

Scrabbler

I am not liking this grid--just not seeing much and I have 133 to go.

10:37 am

bichon

My son insisted I have a laptop. Now that I have one [for 2 years] I don't know how I could live without it

10:37 am

Scrabbler

One reason I wanted a laptop, besides convenience and portablity, is to start writing.

10:38 am

harpjane

no just never got around to upgrading. i am ready to switch but my 3 year old computer is probably a dinosaur...

10:38 am

bichon

When I fly to CA to see my son and his family, I load crossword puzzles on it and do them on the plane

10:38 am

Scrabbler

Silly me, I could use a pen and paper, huh?

10:39 am

Scrabbler

Yep, computers get outdated quickly.

10:39 am

redturtlehead

I am trying to wake up, I think the whole actually calling the realator plus the disorientation of freezing my tail off has emotionally and physically worn me out.

10:56 am

JBV

good day to relax, red - I know how you feel, too much adrenalin running in your system - take a babble break

10:56 am

JBV

I mean take a break with babble, not from babble

10:56 am

bichon

red, dress in layers. And put on a hat. We keep our house very chilly.

10:56 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I clean the big bathroom, did some dishes, packed up one box and then wanted to go to sleep...

10:57 am

redturtlehead

It is way too cold to sustain life. People are crazy living here.

10:57 am

Judi

Happy Hangover Day, Babble buds!

10:57 am

10:58 am

Norma

How did you know I had a hangover ??? lol

10:58 am

Judi

Pffth. I'm with you, Red. Move to a tropical island and be warm and naked.

10:58 am

bichon

Most of the heat lost from your body is from your head

10:59 am

JBV

oh, better go get my beret, then! (angora, my gift to myself this christmas)

10:59 am

redturtlehead

errr JBV. I have layers on and the first turtle neck all year. Judi, I was so warm and naked, but I had to come and get house for market, and no I am so overwhelmed, so much is going to need to be done.

11:02 am

redturtlehead

11:02 am

Judi

Stop playing Babble, Red and go pack!

11:02 am

redturtlehead

JBV its alright, I am just having a hard time starting. And I want to sell Soooo badly.

11:02 am

redturtlehead

Judi I am out int he town taking a rbeak.

11:03 am

redturtlehead

No packing, house has to sell first.

11:03 am

NonoNanette

that is a wonderous tool red but be careful what you use it on

11:03 am

Judi

Magic eraser, flame thrower. Whatever works.

11:03 am

redturtlehead

True Nono!

11:03 am

JBV

ah, now we're getting to the nub of the problem....

11:03 am

11:04 am

I am listening to a lady at the coffee shop spewing loads of crap about nutrition and nursing...together. i would like to choke her...should I?

11:05 am

phaeton

Where in NC, Red?

11:05 am

nrkii

ah, well I don't advise NJ then... it was 15 when I checked this morning, and I'm simply hibernating all day

11:05 am

phaeton

definitely!!

11:05 am

Judi

Throw a well-aimed scone at her , Red.

11:05 am

JBV

hi, nrkii - where in NJ? I'm in East Brunswick

11:05 am

redturtlehead

Oh no, I am going back to FL ASAP. I just hop someone buys that darn house.

11:06 am

nrkii

I'm in Lambertville... not too far from you

11:06 am

redturtlehead

She is a err rather large lady to be speing out erroneous nutritional information.

11:06 am

nrkii

and my new office is in South Brunswick/P'ton

11:06 am

JBV

did you get a lot of snow? we just have a dusting

11:06 am

nrkii

red, maybe she used to be larger...?

11:06 am

nrkii

we didn't get anything here... whatever fell went away

11:07 am

Judi

Hey! I know Lambertville! We've been there many times. (We're in Delaware). Love Lambertville and New Hope. Gotta be fair to both sides of the river.

11:07 am

nrkii

luckily the cold set in after the precipitation was done

11:07 am

JBV

we have just enough to make everything look pretty - with no inconvenience, perfect

11:07 am

nrkii

New Hope is great Judi... I'm happy to live in Lambertville and be able to visit NH

11:07 am

JBV

nice shopping destination, right nrkii?

11:08 am

nrkii

shopping, restaurants, bars, etc, yep

11:08 am

nrkii

Lambertville is more quaint, New Hope is more of a scene

11:08 am

redturtlehead

nrkii, its possible but she is about 5, 2 and I estimate about 300 lbs now. Ahh I have eating issues and so anyone speing out eating advice drives me batty.

11:08 am

JBV

I like quaint - have never been there, but have it on my list of NJ places to visit

11:08 am

Judi

True. But the bike trail along the canal is such a nice escape from the hub bub around town.

11:09 am

nrkii

so Lambertville had traditional English carols in one of the bars a couple weeks ago, but New Hope would have been more likely to have the gay bikers anti-carol concert

11:09 am

nrkii

both fun, but quite different

11:09 am

Judi

*ponders* Is "hub bub" one word or two? Hubbub, hub bub?

11:09 am

redturtlehead

Bike trail sounds really cool Judi.

11:09 am

redturtlehead

Wonders what enable thinks about hubbub...

11:10 am

nrkii

the canal trail in Lambertville is great... I put in a lot of miles on it this past spring/summer

11:10 am

redturtlehead

New Hope is cute though, i have been there once...

11:10 am

Judi

Conversely, is it ev4 a word?

11:10 am

JBV

taking a break for a while - see you later - happy new year, all!

11:10 am

nrkii

canal trail on New Hope side is not as well maintained, but still good

11:10 am

nrkii

I vote for hubbub

11:10 am

nrkii

see you JBV

11:11 am

redturtlehead

Happy New Ye** JBV.

11:11 am

Judi

Best to visit New Hope in a year when they haven't had very bad flooding.

11:12 am

nrkii

okay, 39 to go and need to get the list ... grinding to a fast halt here

11:12 am

nrkii

true Judi

11:12 am

redturtlehead

Go nrkii, I am going for list as well to expedite this grid.

11:13 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for gl7 please?

11:13 am

Judi

Great frech pastry shop in New Hope. *drooooling*

11:13 am

redturtlehead

A ladies magazine about fashion flosey.

11:13 am

nrkii

gl 7 is woman's magazine

11:13 am

redturtlehead

oooh Pastry.

11:13 am

flosey: gl7: ladies magazine, haute coutoure.

11:13 am

flosey

thanks red

11:14 am

nrkii

Judi, I've walked by it a lot, but never got the pastry (yet)

11:14 am

Judi

The Napoleon's are to. die. for.

11:14 am

nrkii

good to know... must stop there on a cheat day

11:14 am

redturtlehead

hat is a napolean?

11:14 am

NonoNanette

o = the mi7 words works

11:14 am

nrkii

of course, I'm in the middle of a cheat 2 weeks, so should go there today

11:17 am

Judi

Napoleon is flaky pastry with thin layers of custard, topped with a thin frosting. Bout a million calories, I'm sure.

11:17 am

redturtlehead

ooooh, Not a fan of custard though.

11:17 am

flosey

but sooo delicious Judi

11:17 am

unithorn

I'm not much of a custard fan, either, but that still sounds pretty tasty.

11:18 am

Judi

I don't like custard much either, but I LOVE these. Thank God it's not close to my house.

11:18 am

redturtlehead

that is good Judi, not good to consume regularly I would think, but sounds tasty.

11:19 am

Judi

I get one every time we go there. And then I eat lettuce leaves for the next three days.

11:19 am

nrkii

best hot chocolate ever is in Lambertville, at L'ville Trading Company... they have one variety with ancho chili in it and it's amazing

11:20 am

Judi

Well, I'm off for a bit. Have to go return a pair of sneakers that are too small. So much for mail order.

11:20 am

unithorn

Hmm. Not much of a hot chocolate fan...but then, not much of one for chocolate. Interesting, though.

11:20 am

nrkii

see you Judi, Happy New Year

11:20 am

unithorn

Bye Judi

11:20 am

11:24 am

nrkii, does it build off the ey4?

11:25 am

redturtlehead

LOL nrkii, you must be the only one with it...I have the ey 4 only.

11:25 am

no, but uses first 3 letters... I looked it up, and I'm still a little sulky about it

indeed it is lexi... but I am a city gal

11:52 am

lexleeanne

like my plug for you red? where are YOU going

11:52 am

redturtlehead

yes, it is time. but NC is to darn cold for me, good gracious, 30 today, you know even the dog was protesting...

11:52 am

lexleeanne

we have CITIES

11:52 am

redturtlehead

Golly I hope so Lex, its horrid today.

11:53 am

bichon

NC is way too hot for me. I need to have for *definite* seasons.

11:53 am

redturtlehead

Lex, you wanna home?

11:53 am

redturtlehead

NC has definite seasons Bichon, spring fall, winter.

11:53 am

redturtlehead

summer.

11:54 am

nrkii

I'm with you bichon

11:54 am

Atalante

I would if you moved it to Oregon!

11:54 am

lexleeanne

NC has more definate seasons then anywhere else I have ever lived

11:54 am

redturtlehead

Florida on the other hand is SUmmer summer summer all year round.

11:54 am

lexleeanne

I live in Mooresville

11:54 am

kje

me too bichon... i want seasons... don't mind the cold at all.... as long as spring comes eventually

11:54 am

redturtlehead

Mooresville is nice, I drove by it last night on my way home.

11:54 am

lexleeanne

I have a home - can't change until M-in-Law no longer needs her attached apt

11:54 am

kje

summer all year is mundane

11:55 am

redturtlehead

There are grab bars in the house...

11:55 am

lexleeanne

I can see 77 - probably saw you - hehe

11:55 am

redturtlehead

I love it kje. It is not mundane at all, I happen to despise being cold.

11:55 am

kje

barism... an alcoholics belief that beer will solve the world's problems

11:55 am

bichon

I've been to South Florida in the summer. That isn't my idea of summer. Summer is hot spells followed by reasonably warm spells. I like a bit of relief.

11:55 am

lexleeanne

DH works in Huntersville

11:55 am

lexleeanne

good one kje

11:55 am

kje

i don't like BEING cold, but that is what warm clothes and fireplaces are for

11:56 am

redturtlehead

South FLorida is extremely hot, but central fla is nice.

11:56 am

lexleeanne

hey red - where are you moving to?

11:56 am

nrkii

hey, can anyone recommend a home remedy for very achy knuckles?

11:56 am

redturtlehead

I hate warm clothes, they stick to you.

11:56 am

redturtlehead

Orlaaaaando.

11:56 am

lexleeanne

I'd rather be hot than cold

11:56 am

lexleeanne

Mickey selling his house?? Oh yeah that's Kissimee

11:56 am

kje

not at all...they only stick in FLA where the humidity is 1000%

11:56 am

beachboggle

which is nearly daily

11:57 am

beachboggle

I just moved from there

11:57 am

nrkii

I'd rather be cold than hot, except for stupid Raynaud's reactions, when I'm forced to curse the cold

11:57 am

redturtlehead

:) its actually really nice there...and less disney that I imagine...

11:57 am

bichon

I like the Bay Area in CA for climate. No humidity and reasonable winters

11:57 am

redturtlehead

I like it.

11:57 am

lexleeanne

not a FLA fan for living - just visiting - feel the same about Seattle

11:57 am

redturtlehead

I can see that, I thought I would hate Florida, but I've fallen in love with it.

11:57 am

kje

SF is wonderful

11:58 am

lexleeanne

DH wants to move to Wilmington - after lexi jr graduates - and lexi sr graduates as well

11:58 am

kje

that is great red... different strokes for different floks, etc... glad you found somewhere you want to stay

11:58 am

redturtlehead

Wilmington NC is nice, I did a contract there Lex, lots of walking paths and fun parks.

11:59 am

lexleeanne

there is SO MUCH to do in FLA

11:59 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I just hope the house sells. like in the next 3 months.

11:59 am

bichon

I like the weather either across the bay in the East or south of SF down the peninsula. SF is nice in the summer, but can be a bit chilly

11:59 am

lexleeanne

WOW - I did just realize that it is actually SUNDAY that is our NC anniversary - lexi jr's b-day she will be 19 and we will have been here 14 years!

12:04 pm

JBV

kje, did you follow the news while you were away? you know about the controversy over the Obama inauguration? invocation I mean

12:04 pm

redturtlehead

ow Lex...long time.

12:04 pm

nrkii

sorry, going to ask again in case newcomers/returners know... I'm looking for a home remedy or over-the-counter cure for very achy hands (knuckles)

12:04 pm

kje

that is further than i want to go today, red... but a walk is in order... bbiab

12:05 pm

kje

could care less, jbv... a whole lot of hoopla for no reason... really blown out of proportion... everyone wants what they want and nothing else, no room for compromise... hate it

12:05 pm

redturtlehead

Nrkii, have you tried getting one of those things that lets you dip hands into warm parrifin?

12:05 pm

lexleeanne

I know that IS long for me - my parents played at being gypsies

12:05 pm

storyteller

Hello and Happy New Year everyone.

12:05 pm

JBV

i agree, kje, but obama is definitely the man in the middle - being pulled in all directions

12:05 pm

kje

sorry, that sounded harsher than intended... no offense jbv

12:06 pm

ZsaZsa

tiger balm works wonders for ligaments, nrkii.

12:06 pm

nrkii

no, but will look for one, thanks red... this has been the worst part of my post surgery recovery

12:06 pm

lexleeanne

HAPPY New Year storyteller

12:06 pm

nrkii

ZsaZsa, I thnk I can't use Tiger Balm because I have psoriasis and it makes my skin burn... I tried it in desperation a couple weeks ago... learned the hard way

12:06 pm

nrkii

hi storyteller!

12:07 pm

lexleeanne

hey storyteller - here in the south when I tell people that story telling is a talent for me - they think I mean lying

12:07 pm

redturtlehead

After my hand surgery I loved those things. you dip them in and it does loosen things up, they used it during my hand therapy.

12:07 pm

nrkii

I'm worried that the hand pain is never going to go away, because it seems unrelated to my shoulder, other than timing

12:08 pm

nrkii

it's both hands

12:08 pm

kje

jbv... it reminds me of the hillary situation a bit... those who said they would now vote for mccain since she wasn't nominated... they clearly hadn't listened to her message... i feel the same way about the people fighting now... they clearly did not hear his message about looking for common ground with people from all walks of life and all spectrums of the political grid... his openness to reach out to people unlike him is what got him elected, hopefully he will remain with that ability

12:08 pm

redturtlehead

use it on both...

12:08 pm

lexleeanne

sorry nrkii

12:09 pm

nrkii

I think I'm going to make my doctor test me for Lyme

12:09 pm

JBV

yes, we are all hoping for that, kje

12:09 pm

***staying in Bermude***

12:09 pm

storyteller

nrkii, I just bought my husband a pair of felt mittons that have the inserts in them that you can heat in the microwave and he says they do wonders on his achy hands. I probably missed most of the conversation and yours my be more serious.

12:10 pm

ZsaZsa

ouch, nrk, sorry

12:10 pm

redturtlehead

that sounds like a great idea storyteller.

12:10 pm

bbl - have a great Holiday all!

ooh, storyteller, that sounds wonderful... it's what I've been mentally picturing to help me

12:10 pm

nrkii

bye lex!

12:10 pm

JBV

nrkii - does it help to take arthritis pain relievers? or do you not want to rely on those

12:11 pm

storyteller

Hope it works!!!

12:11 pm

nrkii

I took 2 Aleve at 7 AM and went back to bed, when I got up at 9 I was in just as much pain

12:11 pm

nrkii

somehow it gets much much worse at night

12:11 pm

JBV

wow, good luck, nrkii

12:12 pm

nrkii

it's the strangest thing... thanks JBV... I'm done complaining, was really looking for suggestions, so thanks all!

12:12 pm

nrkii

off to hunt online for parrafin and felt microwave warming gloves... bye!

12:13 pm

ZsaZsa

bye nrk

12:13 pm

kje

nrkii - forget lyme's - highly unlikely and not the usual joints for that... but the fact that it worsens at night is interesting for RA or some of the other connective tissue disorders... nothing is hard and fast, but OA usually gets worse with use, whereas RA usually worsens with rest and loosens as the day goes on... just a thought

12:14 pm

kje

ok, must go walk - bbl

12:14 pm

redturtlehead

Usually at night, pain increases for everyone because there is nothing to distract you from it.

12:14 pm

Ok going for lunch and to begin on the cleaning.....again....Will see you all after noon manana.....think good house buying thoughts.

I have always wanted to make a Buche Noel.... was it difficult?

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Other Monkey, the x-rays showed two flattened discs with signs of older herniation and no treatment was deemed possible. It has more good days these days though...

12:37 pm

littlebit

they are wonderful!!

12:38 pm

stidgmere

A Julia Child's recipe that she did on a TV show years and years ago that the frosting kept melting off the camera side because of hot lights. Our frosting stayed put.

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

You're the one with my grandfather's book, right? Seashore Life of Southern California?

12:38 pm

stidgmere

Not difficult but tedious to make. We needed a designated sous chef just for washing pots and pans.

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

I will look that up!

12:38 pm

JBV

watched a great show the other night about the owner of Le Cirque in NYC - he had his sons personally delivering buches noel to all the VIPs, like the mayor, etc. of course all perfectly put together and wrapped

12:38 pm

lil*monkey

MonkeyG, what about mechanical or positional traction??? That should help

12:39 pm

beachboggle

LOl stidg.... I always need a dish person, when I cook....

12:39 pm

stidgmere

We ate the evidence; so, I will say our buche noel was perfectly put together.

12:39 pm

beachboggle

I am sure it was!.....

12:39 pm

stidgmere

Beachboggle. If you aren't far, I am available to wash dishes as needed. I am SO RETIRED! Love it.

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

The orthopedist said nothing would help. He also described the cortisone shots as "hocus pocus" though so I am considering a second opinion... can you send me a very scholarly looking reference to the traction thing so I can impress my general practioner with it? Sound like something I'd like to try.

12:40 pm

beachboggle

Sweeeet!!!

12:40 pm

JBV

congratulations on your retirement, stidgmere - must be great

12:40 pm

lil*monkey

yes MG, i will email you

12:41 pm

Atalante

traction used to be a common way of treating disc prolems

12:41 pm

JBV

Monkey, as for cortisone shots, my husband's experience was definitely NOT positive - he found the shots painful, had a terrible reaction, and they did not help the pain

12:41 pm

stidgmere

JBV, now I have time and no excuses. I think sometimes luck is a big part of ones plans.

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you so much! Let me know if there's anything I can ever do for you-- I'm making Cross a soapstone wolf. You want a picture of anything? Family member stipple portrait? Recipes? Proofreading?

12:42 pm

lil*monkey

i have plenty of patients with back or knee pain who benefitted greatly from cortisone shots; hoever relief is temporary, and the long-term effects of cortisone on cartilage is detrimental

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

JBV, I have heard that they work for some very well and for oithers not at or or even badly. However I object to the guy's description of them as "hocus pocus" in any case.

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, did NOT know that detail, Other Monkey! I prefer pain to loss of function.

12:42 pm

lil*monkey

cortisone is certainly not "hocus pocus" and neither is traction

12:43 pm

Atalante

my mum had a month ish of traction on her back years and years ago, and that benefitted her greatly

12:43 pm

wvteach

traction and bed rest were what worked for me

12:43 pm

lil*monkey

MG I will email you about the traction... If you have the right equipment and/or know-how, you will be able to do it at home... No cost, No appointments, etc.

12:43 pm

Atalante

but she also had to wear a plastic corset thing for agggges afterwards

12:43 pm

harpjane

noosism should be a word, belief in capital punishment

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

It's been 6 months now and I do seem to have left a severe acute phase behind... I would like to look into the traction.

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Good one, Harp! Sure should!

12:44 pm

lil*monkey

MG i will email you some suggestions for the traction

12:44 pm

lil*monkey

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

We get wind gusts like you Would Not Believe.

12:47 pm

stidgmere

No, I didn

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, are you theone with the copy of Seashore Life of Southern California?

12:47 pm

stidgmere

t see that question. I don't own the book, unfortunately about the tidepools but have always been a fan of your Grandfather!!

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, what fun!

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

It's just always been fun for me coming across his work peripherally. Since to me he's always just been my grandfather Sam.

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Wish we'd known you then, we'd have given you the Grand Tour!

12:50 pm

stidgmere

Well, I have always looked at tidepools and shorelife with great interest and respect partly due to your Grandfather.

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

Been here almost 16 years. We are naturalized and dual citizenship is not allowed, so now we're Dutch.

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

Little Walter has always been Dutch.

12:51 pm

stidgmere

Well, We are on Puget Sound with the water 50 feet from my window. We look out at the changing tides and remark "There is never the same scene twice."

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

I just realized that in 6 years I will have been here half my life. Weird.

12:51 pm

Nice!

12:52 pm

Oh yes,and how you folks preserve Sinterklaas because it's fun to have tradition, that sort of thing. She even reads a fair amount of Dutch!

12:52 pm

stidgmere

Well, harpjane, we can always have a reunion of Babblers in our area. Just let us know when.

12:53 pm

stidgmere

Stidmama is an amazing woman. She is the linguistic one of our family.

12:53 pm

harpjane

well, it's a ten hour drive....

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

I must say I'm very impressed with her, not least because her high intelligence, giving and compassionate nature, and sense of humor.

12:54 pm

12:57 pm

I saw two of them playing at the base of a cliff. It was astounding. They were in very shallow water, and very clearly playing.

12:57 pm

Anyway, I must concentrate because I have 227 words left and there is not enough time in 11 hours for me to come even close to fireworks.

5:08 pm

stidmama

5:15 pm

Scrabbler

5:15 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh pergo floors. My dream

5:16 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I want laminate flooring--my dream too.

5:17 pm

Pinikula

5:17 pm

Scrabbler

So, red, you are selling your house in NC and then planning to buy where?

5:17 pm

pam

I want to get my kitchen floors done--coupleof years...

5:17 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Pini

5:18 pm

Pinikula

hi scrabs ;)

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

No plan to buy again for a while, but eventually to buy in Florida.

5:18 pm

o-o

I think grates would be great flooring just hose them down and empty into sewer system

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

but i just hope someone wants to buy it. at all.

5:18 pm

Pinikula

scrabs...can I ask you a question about insomnia?

5:18 pm

Lindrickway

hi guys & HNY everyone

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

beachboggle

There's the rub

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

I have never sold a home and so i am not feeling very exciting...

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

beachboggle

We have a place for sale in Florida

5:18 pm

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Pini, I am an insomniac, somewhat recovered though.

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Lindy

5:19 pm

redturtlehead

beach, it is probably n ot where I want it. I'm really well settled in Clermont.

5:19 pm

Pinikula

I have a dau who's self-diagnosed herself with it...

5:19 pm

redturtlehead

Is it in Clermont?

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

Insomnia just means difficulty with sleep--many, many causes!!

5:19 pm

Pinikula

...I think if she actually got up in the morning at the same time every day and likewise went to sleep at a "decent" time she'd actually be able to sleep at night...

5:20 pm

o-o

if people would only sleep more there would be less insomnia

5:20 pm

Aloyisius

now that is so true, BR!

5:20 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, sleep hygiene is crucial.

5:20 pm

beachboggle

I was mentioning it, because, it is difficult to sell right now... good luck with your sale. :-)

5:20 pm

Pinikula

(only because if I got up at noon, I'd have a hard time going to bed at 10-11pm, too)!

5:20 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, BR.

5:20 pm

redturtlehead

Scrabbs, correct me if I am wrong, but I have been encourged to go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the same time...

5:20 pm

stidmama

back again... (sorta)

5:21 pm

stidmama

sleep hygiene? like someone could brush my teeth for me while I sleep? *hopeful look*

5:21 pm

redturtlehead

Florida is a tough market, Beach. Its like #3 state for foreclosure etc. I wish you lots of luck (Guess it isnt in Clermont!)

5:21 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, our brain/body performs best when on a routine.

5:21 pm

Atalante

except mine. which is weird

5:21 pm

redturtlehead

I think that may be why I am so bent out of shape.

5:22 pm

pam

aslo, bed is for sleeping not reading and watching television....

5:22 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Ata. My brain is weird too, but it is my best feature.

5:22 pm

5:22 pm

pam

hi, ata

5:22 pm

5:22 pm

Atalante

I really can't deal with routine, it screws my sleep up even more than normal. I wonder if its cos my body works more to its internal bipolar ups and downs than the day/night rhythm

5:22 pm

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

No book. Just need snuggly stuff.

5:23 pm

Atalante

5:24 pm

beachboggle

Book for me.....

5:24 pm

pam

I do better with exercise and good brain activity. If I am bored, I don't sleep well

5:24 pm

Scrabbler

Gun & Roses to fall asleep---LOL

5:24 pm

JBV

wow, just listening to this, I realize how lucky I am - I have never had a moment's trouble falling or staying asleep, but I do read before turning off the light

5:24 pm

pam

as a kid, i needed a radio in the background....

5:24 pm

o-o

I try to take a nap before I fall to sleep so I can stay on a regular schedule

5:24 pm

Scrabbler

Krista, you are about to win our Scrabble game.

Pini, how old is your daughter? The teen/adolescent brain has a different Circadian rhythm--falls asleep very late, wakes up at 9-10 AM. Studies in the last 10 yrs have revealed a lot about the teen brain.

5:26 pm

Krista

oh cool, Scrabs...that doesnt happen too often

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

jobless can contribute to not getting up that early etc.

5:26 pm

pam

What Ihave finally learned to embrace is that Igo to bed when I am tired. ANd only when I am tired. And, when I get up, I get up for theday. NEver havebeen able to take naps...

5:26 pm

JBV

I have a son who likes to stay up into the wee hours, but he managed to find himself a job that works with that schedule, so i just let it be

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

i love naps, but only when I am running a lot. which is not now, but soon to be, I hope.

5:26 pm

Pinikula

I'd like to see her actually get a job that isn't "seaosonal"!!! I'm sure a "regular" routine would work...

Scrabs, she's 25.5

5:26 pm

stidmama

I take a low-grade antidepressant to help me sleep when I have too much anxiety... usually need it this time of year since the seasonal grey moods trigger more anxiety anyway.

5:27 pm

Krista

we are starting to think that could be a diagnosis for my daughter, Ata..she has Asperger's, so there are lots of comorbid conditions...nice to see ya, btw :)

5:27 pm

Atalante

(((krista)))!

5:27 pm

pam

I take melatonin nightly. It helps me sleep more deeply.

5:28 pm

bichon

I took melatonin for jet lag when I went to Africa. I think I was sleepy for two days

5:28 pm

Krista

i want to try that with her, Pam..i hate that she has to take something so young, but god knows we tried everything else..she didn't sleep well since birth

5:28 pm

o-o

if I want to sleep more deeply, I lower the hammock

5:28 pm

stidmama

5:28 pm

Scrabbler

Stidmama, I bought a light box a few yrs ago, for SAD in the winter.

5:28 pm

stidmama

some people never seem to sleep well, krista

5:28 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, BR!

5:28 pm

Atalante

its not a very good diagnosis, krista as it covers such a huge range of conditions (I think), like autism / aspergers. You just need to find someone who will treat her rather than the label

5:29 pm

Kazozz

help with ur 5/12 please

5:29 pm

stidmama

Yes, I have full-spectrum lights almost everywhere in the house and turn them ALL on when I can (Tom turns them off behind me though) that helps -- as do the skylights (when the office is decluttered enough for me to use, that is)

5:29 pm

Scrabbler

Autism spectrum disorder..key word is spectrum.

5:29 pm

i had one, Scrabs...it didnt help much...you are right, Ata..it has been a long road

I had to google it from a previous clue

5:30 pm

Scrabbler

Me either, Pam. Only in the last yr or so have I started to sleep well on most nights.

5:31 pm

stidmama

I think MOST people are not classic "anything" to be honest... we all have additional factors in our lives that play into how we respond to treatments

5:31 pm

pam

My parents gave up, let me go to sleep when Iwanted. I would read inthe living room or watch t.v...

5:31 pm

Aloyisius

oops, gotta go.. see you all next grid, Babblers.. byee

So many variables

5:31 pm

Trifioso

hello all. just to jump in - I take concerta and lexapro, and I have found that simply sleep works great for helping me sleep. I do feel *slightly* mrs. robinson-ish, taking my "pills" but what can I say? my life is a suckfest at the moment, and it is helping my problems be life-sized

5:31 pm

Hi, tri

5:32 pm

Trifioso

hello pam

5:32 pm

yeah, school was hard for me because I was such a night owl..we homeschool so that helps..if she had to get up for school it would be a nightmare

5:32 pm

stidmama

first GR 6 please?

5:32 pm

Krista

no pun intended

5:32 pm

Atalante

absolutely stid. it's kinda odd. when you first get diagnosed with something like bipolar, for the first year or so you cling to that diagnosis as a lifeline - finally someone understands somethings wrong. Then slowly you begin to realise that the diagnosis means very little, how you react to your individual treatment means everything

5:32 pm

Trifioso

pam, did I mi4 what you are taking to work with your anxiety disorder? any and all opinions welcome...

5:32 pm

pam

ciao, aloy

Hi Trif, your life is in transition and soon you will reflect back and be proud that you got through it.

I have considered going back to homeschooling for the younger kid -- when he hits high school age, he is a true night owl, and the high school starts SO early and we live so far away that it will be very difficult for him. We'll see.

school districts that have busing (like ours) have to schedule the same buses for 3 runs (elem, middle, hs) so someone has to start early - but it should be the little ones, i think

11:04 pm

good point, jmc...but we can't force the child out if s/he chooses to keep coming back...if s/he continues to return, the only thing we can do is either ignore or assist in a positive manner...yes? no?

11:10 pm

Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing.
