1:02 am

st 7 x 2 - still need one more

2:56 am

Roses6

I've been studying herbs, and some of them are descrivbed as st***ing herbs, to put on the floor for smells and to keep away; bugs.

2:57 am

Roses6

So Im missing the me 7 and the last one, the unknown one...

3:00 am

bookwomen

me 7 is a past tense of an element like tin

3:01 am

westford

roses what kind of herbs?

3:01 am

Roses6

Thanks book, got it right away with that great clue!

3:05 am

Roses6

Plants that have good smelling leaves, or some nicde smelling grasses are called st***ing herbs. They were used on the floor in medieval times to keep away flies and bugs and probably combat the smell of unwashed bodies. Also used in churches. Basil is one, also mints and geranium leaves, and oregano or thyme.

3:05 am

mrpresident

I see... no clues?

3:05 am

VolleymomDee

not yet, boo hoo

3:05 am

3:06 am

westford

thanks roses I thought there might be some used today

3:06 am

VolleymomDee

mrpresident

3:08 am

rururocks

3:08 am

Roses6

KatieMcG

I was 31 when I got my first. Buying this house with hubby was just fantastic as it moved us forward in our lives so much

12:49 pm

sprite

wow, some way to spend a birthday! But the treating part sounds good :)

12:50 pm

Angelsong

not a book yet, Jmx...but something almost as good. I wrote a lens (article) for Squidoo.com and put all my organizing information there.

12:50 pm

ch1212

Beloved and I are late bloomers. I'm 53, and this is our first home.

12:50 pm

i agree, bzznbea. it's a nice little neighborhood that will appreciate nicely over the years

12:50 pm

ch1212

Excellent, angelsong. I will check out squidoo.

12:50 pm

Angelsong

I may write one, ch1212

hope all goes well for you, Josh.

12:51 pm

Angelsong

Our politics is fantastic at the moment there are so many people stabbing each other in the back it's hard to keep up

12:52 pm

ch1212

I look forward to reading your article, Angelsong. I like your website's organization and wr**ing, and always enjoy new methods for organzing info.

hello Ata

1:03 pm

KatieMcG

sky have got hold of an email from labour MPs to try and get GB to resign

1:04 pm

Atalante

which was nothing to do with hazel blears, oh no

1:04 pm

KatieMcG

Brown "can best serve the country and labour party by stepping down" they are circulating it to get 50 signatures or above

1:05 pm

KatieMcG

great exclusive for sky

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

goodness gracious this is still over the MP expenses?

1:06 pm

Atalante

it's kind of gone a bit beyond that now into total chaos

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

so I see well that is why parliamentary rule is so exciting!

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

and hazel blears is making a bid to be PM?

1:08 pm

KatieMcG

To be honest he has made one mistake after another. There was an issue over soldiers not being allowed to stay in the country & then the expenses. There was fixing figures on knife crime not so long ago. we were talking at work the other day and he honestly does not 'get' people, he should have stayed at the Treasury

1:08 pm

Atalante

nope, she stepped down from the Cabinet at the perfect time to screw Gordon Brown

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

knife crime?

1:09 pm

KatieMcG

No I think she was just sticking the boot in. She has really messed up her expenses, not paying the correct tax etc but was being made the scape goat

1:09 pm

KatieMcG

They said that knife crime had gone down more than it had, the independant commissioner said that they were using unsound figures for political gain

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

the article I scanned suggested she might go for it -- but I would n't know of course

1:09 pm

why can one be knighted but not be ea4ed?

hi there. Sorry to interrupt this serious discussion of British politics, but does someone have a clue for the de 6/7 combo?

1:10 pm

KatieMcG

thanks for the clues

1:13 pm

Atalante

It would be great if she did publically say something anti Brown

1:13 pm

sprite

good clues! Thanks.

1:14 pm

jmcnrick

so what does that mean Katie about her resigning the day before the election?

1:15 pm

Atalante

it's just very provocative timing. her expenses stuff have been dragging on for months, she could have resigned at any point but waited

1:15 pm

KatieMcG

it looks very very bad for brown as there is no minister in charge who would usually be the one to front up when the results are as bad as they will be.

1:16 pm

sounds rather childish, actually

I've voting for a local protest party on a schools issue in the local one and I'm not sure about Europe but I am certainly NOT going to vote either labour or conservatives

1:16 pm

hi nan, another pretty flower!

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

Atalante

it's kinda clever. she can't stand up as a member of cabinet and slag off Brown, but she can screw things in sneaky ways like she did

1:17 pm

KatieMcG

heard yet ch?

1:18 pm

sprite

all is looking good, nan, such beautiful flowers, all of them

1:18 pm

KatieMcG

OOPS! I'm so sorry! I'm on the phone with Beloved - we didn't get the house :(

1:19 pm

1:19 pm

sprite

argh DARN ch! That sucks. But I bet there is a better one for you coming up.

1:19 pm

ch1212

We were outbid. But I think that's okay -- something better will come along when it's right

1:19 pm

Atalante

and I don't think they will. hopefully. Hopefully people's protest votes will be for Lib Dems or Green

1:20 pm

my vote is going to the Animals.

7:17 pm

7:18 pm

pugmama763

7:18 pm

kje

kids, wife

7:18 pm

pam

That sounds tragic, kje.

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, my, even more tragic. PE's are always so shocking.

7:19 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Pug!

7:20 pm

kje

yayay pug!

7:21 pm

pam

Yay, pug

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, the neighborhood kid dropped by to get a check for summer lawnmowing. He is 15 now--growing up.

7:22 pm

pugmama763

was hoping I could finish with just lickety but that last one eluded me utterly

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo Pugmama!

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Was he on Lovenox, heparin?

7:22 pm

kje

still eludes me pug - but will get it once I get ta6 : )

7:23 pm

Scrabbler

Me too--looking for ta6 and le6

7:23 pm

kje

no, we admitted him yesterday, plts 17, chose not to anticoagulate due to that, and too low for IVC procedure as well... rock-me-hard place

7:23 pm

lynxxx

kje - they *nd in you and **

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

Why the low plts?

7:24 pm

kje

the whole thing was weird - autoimmune likely - presented with hemoorhagic bulla on his legs,belly, hands - and 18K eos

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

What did he present with, kje?

7:25 pm

kje

suspect churg-strauss

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

Yikes, very weird.

7:25 pm

Sounds like an incredibly hard morning, kje.....

7:27 pm

kje

never a dull moment, pam

7:27 pm

pam

There's dull and then there's your day today!

7:28 pm

Scrabbler

I am so glad that your team debriefed--so important for med students and residents.

7:29 pm

JBV

oh, my, just stopping in to see med students crying!

7:29 pm

Scrabbler

I always hated that after a code or death we would just move on with our work...no discussions, no chance to vent.

7:29 pm

kje

I agree scrab - can't bottle that stuff up... and it is good for the students to realize despite all we can do, sometimes the die are cast and there is nothing you do that will matter

7:30 pm

JBV

reading back, so sorry to hear about that very sad case, kje

7:30 pm

forwardbyfaith

al5,16 please?

7:30 pm

kje

that is horrible scrab - thankfully where i trained that was not the case... we were taught you always stop and reflect... assess what was done, if something was missed, how to improve, and to mourn for a bit

7:30 pm

forwardbyfaith

never mind

7:31 pm

Scrabbler

It is so tough as a 3rd and 4th yr student to be confronted with the reality of suffering, dying, death and the randomness of all of this, and also that often MDs can NOT save people.

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

I developed PTSD over codes/deaths....it has taken me years to overcome this.

7:32 pm

kje

yes... my resident kept saying... maybe if I had started the steroids 4 hours earlier instead of waiting for the biopsies... I asked her how long steroids usually take effect (24-48 hours)... wouldn't have mattered

7:33 pm

periwinkle

so sorry kje

7:33 pm

FIREWORKS

7:33 pm

periwinkle

bye, see you all tomorrow

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo Peri.

7:33 pm

kje

she was having a hard time not doubting what she had done - but they did nothing wrong - sometimes what will be is already determined before you touch them

7:33 pm

pam

yay, peri!

7:33 pm

kje

yay peri

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

I am so sad for him, for you and for your team, kje.

7:34 pm

periwinkle

thanks *poof*

7:35 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, we have an 8 yr old boy with histiocytic sarcoma and mets to lungs. Bad prognosis but going through chemo. Sad.

7:36 pm

kje

almost harder with a child scrab - the parents never expect to out live their kid

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, always tragic and devastating.

7:37 pm

kje

7:37 pm

7:39 pm

kje

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

I am a recovering insane person.

7:40 pm

kje

LOL - I thought it was incurable

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

I have worked really hard at becoming sane, balanced, wise and solid over the last 15 yrs or so.

7:41 pm

kje

maybe someday scrab...

7:42 pm

Scrabbler

Going through my friend Mary's ordeal and then death from bran ca changed my life view so much.

7:42 pm

pam

Good for you, scrabs!!!! I am not any of those things, just also not anal about finishing the grid 8^)

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

So much stuff just doesn't matter to me anymore. I focus on the important stuff now.

mrpresident

8:02 pm

herinfernallady

Yep stupid swine flu we are apparently Swine Flu central in VIc :D

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

I am OCD with numbers. I desire symmetry and even numbers.

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

The Swine flu is turning out to not be a big threat, but there is a big risk that it and the regular flu will mutate together during flu season and become a "Super Flu" so its a little worrisome.

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

When I bought my house I was thrilled with the number 32 as my house number..divisible by 2 many times.

8:03 pm

herinfernallady

DO you know how much fun it is just to cough an public transport and watch the OMG diseased unclean argh paranoia sets in

8:03 pm

pam

Super Flu? EGADS....

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

Scrabbler that is definitely a little odd.

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

I am concerned about flu for next winter season, both real impact and hysteria.

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

or even I suppose.

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

So we should all wash hands.

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

Well, I am odd, but I don't like odd numbers.

8:04 pm

mrpresident

I keep aqium in my purse, use it all the time

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

But the thing is its so stupid. That the thing is its just flu. Scrabbler I ahve to do things by threes

8:04 pm

pam

LOLOL, red! (Not handwashing, the even/odd)

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

OH that is a great idea MR PRes I may do that today

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

Interesting, herin.

8:05 pm

herinfernallady

Stanley Kubrick was the same. If the fruit plate got to 3 left he had to have more

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

I only have number issues when I am running.

8:05 pm

Uneaixoise

when I was a kid, I would pick a number at the beginning of each year and do everything in multiples of that number

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

then I count repeatedly. I suppose an ipod would change that.

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Well, I am happy with 120/118 now. When the grid total is odd I get frustrated and must stop with a 5.

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

Red i need to send you a site i found for running

8:07 pm

redturtlehead

Ok Herin, you can send it on Facebook.

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

I was happy being 44, 45, 46, and 48 not so with 47 and now 49. 50 is 3 mo away.

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

Night Scrabbler Hi AK I can't believe i got to 55 left before looking at any help

lbdawger

hubby had never been to a branding before and wanted to go. I asked him if he knew what he was getting himself into...he said no, i said: "they don't just brand the beasts, they innoculate them as well as castrate the boys, He decided he didn't want to go.

I was just sitting back as my kids reached 25 and 22 and anticipating grandchildren at some point in the future, when Other Half (who is 12 years younger than me)'s Ex Other Half had a maternal blip and decided to hand their 14-year-old daughter over to us. Whilst part of me resents what she's done to me ('cos I'm the one doing most of the looking after etc., that''s just the way it is when I'm at home and he's a work), most of me just hates her for what she's done to her child.

10:13 pm

jillibus

No way -- just want you to admire my magnificent UFO (today's theme) and story before I change it for Pyramids

10:13 pm

Jacula

Hi jilli. Nice to see you. I'm still burbling on here.

harpjane

thanks jill

10:16 pm

Jacula

However, apart from this sleepless and a little alcohol fuelled blip tonight, part of me resenting having to work to timetables imposed by other than myself again, I've been quite invigorated by the new challenge. I have a kid again, and maybe I feel 'needed' again.

10:16 pm

Sudokuaddict

clue for te5/20 plz?

10:16 pm

jillibus

I'm exhausted -- big heat wave here today and it was my library shift -- about 6 hours in an oven in spite of fans and open windows, and busy. Oh my aching back!

10:17 pm

yes, jac, there's that "needed" thing. Very captivating.

10:18 pm

Trifioso

Jacula

Jilli - I can sympathise with the back thing. I know how you feel.

10:19 pm

Trifioso

jacula, I am happy for her, having you --- she needs you; she is no doubt feeling terribly rejected, and needs to know you love her.

10:19 pm

Jacula

te5/20 is the earlier version of the fax.

10:19 pm

jillibus

nice clue, jac

10:20 pm

Pinikula

ok... back

10:21 pm

jillibus

I wish I'd had time for this grid -- it seemed nice last night but the lack of Lickety then rather put the kibosh on it.

10:21 pm

Jacula

Trif - my maternal instincts compel me to care for her now, but, being Taureanm, resistant to change even though the earth mother of the zodiac, I don't yet love her, though I do care a lot what happens to her. I'm sure the love will come in time.

10:21 pm

Pinikula

we had one of those days today, too, jilli...except it was raining to boot...and oh so humid! :(

10:21 pm

Marc Freeman

Good evening all, I need a clue for le6/36,please

10:21 pm

Pinikula

hi marc

10:21 pm

Sudokuaddict

thank you jac for the clue

10:22 pm

Trifioso

I am still glad for her, jac. The fact that you are willing to be be willing to love her says everything!

10:22 pm

Pinikula

Le* Luther + extr*** sports

10:22 pm

Jacula

I've been cleaning and mending her clothes since she came. At least she'll like like a kid someone is looking after now.

10:22 pm

sorry, subtract one of the "be's" from my last post....

10:23 pm

Pinikula

hi mg

10:23 pm

jillibus

well, seeing that le word (great clue, pini) changes my mind about the niceness of this grid.

10:23 pm

Pinikula

they're not all like that jilli ;)

10:23 pm

Trifioso

FIREWORKS!!! Woot woot!

10:23 pm

Pinikula

wtg trif

10:24 pm

jillibus

It's 8:24 pm here and I guess I'd better put my cool salad supper together.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Little things she's said make me realise that she's amazed at some of the stuff I do, that I'd do for any child inmy care. But, when she settles in and realises how strict I can be, she might not think I'm so marvellous. There again, from what she's said, I think all she wanted was to be cared for and told where the boundaries are.

10:25 pm

Pinikula

I think all children really want and need what you're able to offer her, jac...kudos to you!

10:25 pm

jillibus

looking up the def of the le word, I guess we are all users of them

10:25 pm

jillibus

Jac, she's so lucky she went to you!

10:27 pm

jillibus

Now I shall depart and have supper -- back later

10:27 pm

Pinikula

eat well, jilli ;)

10:27 pm

Jacula

jilli - in 4 years time, when she's 18, I'll let you know if you're right.

10:28 pm

Marc Freeman

By the way Pini thanks for he clue for the le6 I got it

10:28 pm

Pinikula

Jac, I'm confident that she'll grow by leaps and bounds having structure and people who really care about her!

10:28 pm

Marc Freeman

By the way Pini thanks for he clue for the le6 I got it

10:28 pm

Pinikula

np marc...anytime!

10:29 pm

Jacula

Pink - I hope you're right. Me and her Dad do think she's better off with us, even if it is throwing us off kilter for various reasons for a while.

10:30 pm

Pinikula

You'd be amazed, Jac...I'm sure you'll both get so much out of the experience of "helping a child" that you won't know what you would have done without her in your lives!

10:30 pm

Jacula

And I am buoyed up by your confidence in my maternal abilitis, so, THANK YOU, Babblers.

10:31 pm

Pinikula

Anytime, jac!!! We're family here!

10:33 pm

Jacula

Pink - Other Half is her Dad and was never sure about leaving her with her mother. I, on the other hand, always thought that a child's place is with its mother. Thinking back, I wish she'd come along with him when she was 8. A lot of 'isues' for her might then have been avoided.

10:34 pm

Pinikula

Better to have her late than never...so, just look what all three of you have -- each other! and it sounds like it's a very positive thing for all involved!

10:34 pm

Jacula

However, 14 is a malleable age, we might yet make it all come good.

10:34 pm

Pinikula

I have faith in each of you!

10:36 pm

Jacula

Well, actually, it's 5 of us. My son (25) stilllives at home and kinda resents the intrusion, just like he did when he was 2 and his sister arrived. His sister has now left home, but lives not far away and is very supportive of her stepsister. Son still has some growing up to do, methinks.

10:37 pm

Jacula

He's not nasty to her, sometimes chats to her over teenage problems he remembers, but he can b a sarcastic bugger, just like his Dad was,

10:37 pm

Pinikula

At 25, son has the ability to be on his own if he can't see that helping his stepsister is a blessing that she might not otherwise have.

10:37 pm

Pinikula

(sorry -- just my $0.02 worth)

10:38 pm

Jacula

Pink - I agree with you.

10:38 pm

Jacula

I'm going to wander off to bed now in the hope I will be up in time for all the stuff later.

10:38 pm

Pinikula

Not trying to be rude to your son, but .. you know

10:39 pm

Pinikula

ok, jac...take care!!!!

10:39 pm

Jacula

What my daughter said to my son about my stepdaughter moving in, when she heard him getting all selfish about his peace being disturbed, was this: 'You are 25 years old and you can survive without Mum if you really need to! And, actually you should! Nat's just 14. Her Mother has rejected her, she has no ida what do do, wher she should e, what she should be, what she should do. I know she's nearly 6' tall but she's still a kid and she needs to be looked after. I know Mum still looks after us, and that can be annoying when you feel grown-up, but it's all Nat needs now. Give her a chance!'

10:44 pm

Pinikula

well spoken daughter, jac!!!

10:44 pm

Pinikula
