Susan-Victoria

Breast cancer, but they think it's gone to my lungs. On the other hand, they couldn't get a biopsy.

12:51 am

jillibus

what will the surgery be, asks nosy parker

12:51 am

Susan-Victoria

So when they do a mastectomy they also plan to cut my throat for a lung biopsy. Double ugh.

12:52 am

jillibus

Grisly way of putting it, susan!

12:53 am

Susan-Victoria

Actually it's been going on long enough I'm not as fearful as I was.

12:53 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

12:54 am

Just1Mar

hi lynxxx

12:54 am

jillibus

hi lynxxx

12:54 am

Susan-Victoria

Absolutely amazing people at the Cancer Institute here. It's been a lesson for me, how kind people can be.

12:54 am

mrpresident

hi lynxx

12:54 am

jillibus

susan, is Dr McPherson your oncologist?

12:54 am

rururocks

keep positive

12:55 am

westford

my cousin Maggie was diagnosed in May 1999. Her cancer came back just short of 5 years later. Since then it's gone to her bones and brain and she just keeps fighting back it's not going to get her

12:55 am

Susan-Victoria

No. Vanessa Bernstein. I'm quite sure I've run across Dr. McPherson though...

12:55 am

lynxxx

Sorry to read of your troubles Susan. It's a good sign that they are actively treating it.And the survival rate of breast cancer just gets better and better

12:55 am

cybernan

not getting anywhere, so calling it a night with 72 down.

12:56 am

jillibus

They are all topnotch, susan.

12:56 am

lynxxx

nite C'nan

12:56 am

westford

you'll dream of all the words you need nan

12:56 am

Susan-Victoria

Oh, absolutely, Lynxxx. On top of which, I've had some prior experience. My mother was given 2 months (25 yr. ago) and lasted ten years.

12:56 am

mrpresident

susan, breast cancer is much more treatable than most others, be positive and not sickened by it helps

12:56 am

jillibus

BC has one of the best survival rates of breast cancer in the world.

12:57 am

rbud

my mom's a 23 year breast cancer survivor

12:57 am

jillibus

I'm a 9 year one

12:58 am

Susan-Victoria

12:58 am

jillibus

Me too, susan

12:59 am

jillibus

and mine had gone into the lymph nodes

12:59 am

Susan-Victoria

Funny thing, though, I keep thinking what a waste of resources all this amazing care is.

12:59 am

westford

I don't miss my yearly mammograms

1:00 am

westford

I should say I never miss

1:01 am

rbud

it had been 17 years since the first when they diagnosed Mom's 2nd about 6 yrs ago. She's 79 and still going strong, no recurrances (sp?). She says she has a boyish figure, lol.

1:01 am

Susan-Victoria

Mines metestatic - lymph nodes too. Just hope not the lungs. I wasn't cancer-phobic at all so I was very negligent about watching.

1:02 am

lynxxx

You must be destined to do something special in the future then Susan so the care will not be 'wasted'

1:02 am

mrpresident

1:02 am

Susan-Victoria

1:05 am

o-o

I should hope it is a boy or a girl

1:05 am

westford

1:06 am

lynxxx

2:54 am

not only th4, but you are in today's grid as well

we used to have a babbler by that name, but I think he stopped when the word atlatl finally showed up

evening mrP

2:55 am

Haz1558

Good morning, sprite. and good evening mrpresident.

2:56 am

sprite

and, Ata, your home is also in today's grid. What did you do to get this much attention!

2:56 am

Atalante

well .....

2:57 am

sprite

yes????

2:57 am

Haz1558

Einstein IS her grandfather.

2:57 am

Atalante

can he exert influence from the grace though?

2:58 am

Haz1558

Not sure about from the grace, but who knows about the grave?

2:58 am

Atalante

grave!

2:58 am

Atalante

that too :)

2:58 am

Haz1558

Blame your arm for the typo.

2:58 am

sprite

you are in as well, Haz, btw

2:59 am

Haz1558

Wonder of wonders, so I am!

2:59 am

sprite

much less frequent than Ata, of course. It is a festive day.

2:59 am

Haz1558

In both manifestations - as a Haz and when I'm looking my worst, a hag.

2:59 am

sprite

lol

3:00 am

Atalante

or as St Haz, Hagia Hazella

3:00 am

joshuavorbis

i got all the a's before i made it halfway. that is a bit odd

3:00 am

sprite

josh, you are beginning to show promise ;)

3:01 am

joshuavorbis

i may crack this babble thing yet

3:02 am

sprite

and even before it cracks you!

3:03 am

joshuavorbis

i think that ship has sailed

3:03 am

sprite

;)

3:07 am

sprite

why no giraf/girafs?

3:07 am

Haz1558

They require another f and an e.

3:08 am

sprite

ah, thanks. Mix-up with dutch spelling then.

3:08 am

Haz1558

Beautiful creatures.

3:08 am

sprite

they always strike me as funny. So odd, having to deliver their babies into free fall.

3:09 am

Haz1558

That's another Dutch word I've learned!

3:09 am

sprite

in dutch one can use both spellings.

3:10 am

Haz1558

So, fact for the day, there are three different types of giraffe, recognisable by different markings.

3:10 am

Haz1558

Or maybe I should say at least three that I know of!

3:10 am

sprite

hey, cool, didn't know that.

3:10 am

Atalante

did you see them when staying next door to your friends, the Obamas?

3:11 am

Haz1558

I can't tell the difference but it's to do with their markings. Reticulated, Masai and Rothschild.

3:11 am

sprite

they would have gone nicely together with the sa word.

3:11 am

sprite

rothschild no less.

3:11 am

Haz1558

Not that time, Ata, but who knows what'll happen when we meet up next?

3:12 am

Atalante

reticulated = networked pattern of blobs

3:12 am

Haz1558

There's one that has no marking beneath the knees.

3:13 am

Haz1558

Just spotted the horned animal....

3:13 am

sprite

a shortnecked giraffe

3:13 am

joshuavorbis

goodnight euros

3:13 am

sprite

and a thickskinned one

3:13 am

Atalante

I like the little spaceman transmitters giraffes have on their heads

3:14 am

sprite

bye US dollar

3:14 am

Haz1558

Bonsoir Lost Colonial.

3:14 am

sprite

so do I, Ata. And their incredibly soft deer eyes.

3:45 am

jillibus

thanks, Jac. I still love Just So Stories with Kipling's wonderful drawings

3:46 am

Jacula

The rhythm of the language was what captured my imagination as a child, Jilli. Still does.

3:46 am

jillibus

FMitch posted a list in case anyone is interested. I never would have finished without it, but she did.

3:48 am

jillibus

3:48 am

Jacula

No Lickety again then? Might need FM's list a bit further down the line. I shall go and have some to5/10 first and watch the starling families on my bird feeder. I may see more words on my return.

3:48 am

sprite

bye for now, Jac

3:49 am

jillibus

No Lickety so far. And to5/10 was my last word and took me ages to find, I'm ashamed to say. Got too used to weirdos I guess.

3:50 am

sprite

119 points for that word..nice

5:08 am

Ian Hayman

so how does the scoring work?

5:08 am

Ian Hayman

shag

5:10 am

mrpresident

for why we no have clues

5:10 am

FMitch

lol Ian
SCORING
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word:
4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points
Example:
Word: BABBLE
Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1)
Total: 36 pts.
(taken from the Help section above the log :)

6:46 am

I think I will call the vet and make an appt for her to be seen this week just to check and see that there is nothing medical going on. was trying to avoid that since vets are so expensive but oh well

6:46 am

periwinkle

no dan

6:47 am

dan2bit

then I'd say 'annoyed at all the disruptive moving boxes'

6:48 am

crosshair

if a cat is on a strict dry food for too long a period thier urine will get very strong and on occasion they will develop crystals in the urine and you may spot blood and this has cause aversion to the litter box in a cat we had..not to worry you unduly..but it happened to us and we had to modify the cat diet(that was with our very first kitty)

6:48 am

Uneaixoise

same here, peri -- not a cat person but dogs freak over change . . . and suitcases . . . and things getting moved around

We took a hike up a small peak on Sat. We took along the 15 y.o. senior Bichon who has a heart condition. Guess who was first up to the peak?

9:32 am

nrkii

I was supposed to go see my dad this week, for his 71st birthday and it's a miracle you're still alive party, but I think I'm staying right here

9:32 am

Scrabbler

I had gall stones in the past--horrible pain. Kidney stones rank up there as one of worst pains ever.

9:32 am

nrkii

oh, that's great bichon!

9:32 am

bichon

nrkii, daughter had kidney stone when she was pregnant. She had a stent put in and it worked

9:32 am

nrkii

I had gall stones 9 years ago, gallbladder gone now

9:33 am

Scrabbler

The old dog, Bichon? Yay for a happy dog!

9:33 am

bichon

At least you can part with your gall bladder.

9:33 am

bichon

We thought he's sleep alll the way home in the car. No way!

9:33 am

nrkii

kidney stone definitely has been scarier experience... but now that they've diagnosed, at least I know the basics about what to do... water, drugs, wait

9:34 am

nrkii

he must have had a blast bichon :)

9:34 am

bichon

We met lots of people on the trail who gave him attention.

9:36 am

harpjane

god morning

9:36 am

harpjane

good morning,,,,

9:36 am

Scrabbler

It's wonderful that an old dog (or any animal, including humans) can enjoy life despite age or illness or injury.

9:36 am

nrkii

hi harp!

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jane.

9:36 am

nrkii

too bad GOTTA isn't a word... in the sense of, I am drinking so much water, I gotta take a lot of breaks

9:37 am

Scrabbler

I tried it too, N.

9:37 am

bichon

I'm hoping he'll live til 16 cause we are not getting any more dogs [sob].

9:37 am

Scrabbler

My cold symptoms are moving into my chest. Yuck.

9:37 am

nrkii

only 3 words left, and 2 of them are 4-letter words

9:37 am

nrkii

oh, Scrabs, but that's the beginning of the end of the cold, right?

9:37 am

Scrabbler

This grid is tough, as usual for the small grids.

9:37 am

nrkii

it always is for me... head, chest, done

9:38 am

bichon

Anyone need clues, I'm down to 3

9:38 am

Scrabbler

This just started Saturday afternoon.

9:38 am

nrkii

quick-moving cold!

9:39 am

Scrabbler

I think I got this from Mary's kids last Tuesday.

9:39 am

nrkii

kids are infectious little critters, aren't they?

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Especially wh4 one cuddles and hugs them.

9:40 am

nrkii

if you spray them with Lysol first, that might help

9:40 am

nrkii

though you should probably warn them to close their eyes and mouths

9:41 am

Scrabbler

It's still worth it to carry the baby around and snuggle with her.

9:41 am

nrkii

I bet

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Down to 40 to go

9:42 am

nrkii

2 left here

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Did you sleep OK last night, N?

9:42 am

o-o

friend has had to deal with kidney stones for years. she tells me the pain from the stones is nothing compared to Trigeminal Neuralgia

9:42 am

nrkii

nope... no pain, but I drank so much water, I was up every 90 minutes :)

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that facial nerve pain is brutal for people--some resort to surgery.

9:43 am

nrkii

apparently I was in bad shape by the time I got seen in emergency yesterday, because after 2 doses of morphine, the doctor and nurses kept telling me how much better I looked ("your color's back, and you're not covered in sweat anymore")

9:44 am

Scrabbler

Yes, pain does that to people, N.

9:45 am

nrkii

I must have looked very attractive :)

9:45 am

Scrabbler

That's one way to separate the opiate-seekers from the ones in real pain.

9:46 am

nrkii

hmmmm, good point Scrabbler... I think there was an opiate-seeker in a bed near me yesterday

9:46 am

nrkii

oops, gotta take a break... brb

9:46 am

Scrabbler

N, believe me, the ER staff appreciates the people who come to the ER because they need it for an emergency. You were a "real" patient for them. Not a whiner.

9:48 am

o-o

have you felt ostracized after submitting your resignation, Scrabbler?

9:48 am

Scrabbler

And I must go take an on-line malpractice course--must finish by June 30th.

9:48 am

nrkii

I tried to turn down the morphine

9:48 am

nrkii

you resigned, Scrab???

9:49 am

Scrabbler

Nope, BR, Richard is actually being really nice and cooperative. I realized that he sees me as his conscience and competition thus he is happy to get rid of me.

9:49 am

Scrabbler

Yes, N, 2 wks ago! I have a new job and will start the last wk in Sept.

9:49 am

nrkii

oh, good for you!!!

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Do you have a pump, N?

9:50 am

nrkii

when do you leave your current?

9:50 am

nrkii

a pump?

9:50 am

Scrabbler

There is a 120 day notice, to give the practice time to find a replacement.

9:51 am

nrkii

oh, so no summer off for you... too bad

9:51 am

nrkii

but still, CONGRATULATIONS!

9:51 am

Scrabbler

You said that you turned down your morphine--I thought that you were sent home with some.

9:51 am

Scrabbler

Nope, I need my paychecks, N.

9:51 am

nrkii

no, tried to turn down the morphine in the hospital, but the nurse talked me into it

9:51 am

nrkii

they sent me home with an Rx for vicadin, which I'm fine with

9:51 am

o-o

do malpractice courses use terms like iatrogenic and nosocomial?

9:52 am

Scrabbler

I see. Well, pain deserves to be alleviated.

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and difficult patients are a huge focus---far more likely to sue.

9:52 am

nrkii

yeah, but I suspect I have a somewhat addictive nature, so I try to avoid things that might cause me trouble

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Did you practice malpractice law, BR?

9:53 am

o-o

the opiate seekers and the moneymongers

9:53 am

o-o

no

9:53 am

nrkii

I grew up in a house full of smokers, but never started... I don't drink much at all... etc

9:54 am

nrkii

though I do have a caffeine addiction that I'm managing

9:54 am

nrkii

okay, I think I need help for these last 2 words

9:54 am

Scrabbler

With my first abd surgery (gall bladder 1990) I learned that I do not like opiates--nausea, weird head feeling, so with 4 subsequent abd/pelvic operations (1998-2003) I told the docs.

9:54 am

Rushie

Morning all

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Toradol (it's like IV ibuprofen) worked well for me.

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Hi Rushie

9:55 am

Rushie

I don't like surgery, mainly the part where they stab the back of your hand repeatedly

9:56 am

Rushie

So how many words this grid?

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, needles hurt, don't they, Rush.

9:56 am

Scrabbler

100 words and a tough grid.

9:56 am

o-o

needles have gotten much more efficient over the years

9:57 am

phaeton

ta5?

9:57 am

Rushie

How in the world am I going to get 100 words out of this grid...

9:57 am

Scrabbler

And some nice medical people inject lidocaine in the skin area with a tiny needle before sticking in the IV catheter

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Some have done it, Rushie.

FMitch

Flipping hayfever is driving me nuts too, havent suffered with it much until the last few years :(

11:56 am

Haz1558

babbelmaster, you've got some words so you know how the puzzle works at least. Best advice I can give is to start looking for normal four letter words, then see if you can build them up.

11:56 am

Haz1558

Some of the words in this particular grid aren't very common, so don't be surprised if you don't know them.

11:57 am

Judi

Fireburps!!!!

No thanks Katie, my dog would think they were her new toys

caitlyn

12:08 pm

KatieMcG

Oh Katie ........I suppose its better than a frog in the throat though

12:09 pm

FMitch

lol poor frog!

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Have you rung your local vet? Believe me, it's the sort of thing I've had. 'How do you get rid of bats' 'How do you get rid of woodlice?' 'I found a pigeon six hours ago (this was after midnight) What should I do?'

12:09 pm

KatieMcG

I feel sorry for it but we can't work out how to get it out without hurting it so are hoping it hops out soon.

12:10 pm

KatieMcG

Haz - was the answer phone at 6pm and NOT at gone midnight - honestly some people!

12:10 pm

cybernan

ha 4 x3 (from the left h) -- missing?

12:10 pm

Have you got any sort of net, or do you know anybody who fishes?

12:10 pm

Vicuna

Be kind and gentle to the frog, and do not call him names...

12:10 pm

FMitch

Vi!!!!!!

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

Vicuna

As "Slimy skin," or "Polly-wog," or likeise "Ugly James."

12:10 pm

caitlyn

Hi Vi!!

12:10 pm

KatieMcG

Hi vic

12:11 pm

Vicuna

Or "Gape-a-grin," or "Toad-gone-wrong," or "Billy Bandy-knees:"

12:11 pm

Vicuna

The frog is justly sensitive to epithets like these.

12:11 pm

caitlyn

Have you tried kissing it?..........He may be your prince that has come for you

12:11 pm

Vicuna

Hello, all!

12:11 pm

Boobear

FMitch

lovely words Vi :) and love the pics of the quilts in yr icon.

12:12 pm

Vicuna

ha5/22? intriguing.

12:12 pm

Haz1558

ta5/10 - same structure of word as Lone Ranger's friend - or result of too much sun plus not from

12:12 pm

KatieMcG

we are being kind to him. The main problems is that to avoid the cats he has buried himself amongst the computer cables so we can't get a net/cardboard to help him out into the garden

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, FM. Have you been doing any embroidery recently?

12:13 pm

Haz1558

ha5/22 - combine first letters of my name with first letters of Queen's daughter

12:13 pm

Haz1558

I take it you have removed the cats from the situation?

12:13 pm

KatieMcG

ty haz

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Ah, there are Haz and the princess together int he same sentence again.

12:14 pm

FMitch

:( not for ages but I do tend to slack off from it in the summer.

12:14 pm

cybernan

ty haz

12:14 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome!

12:14 pm

KatieMcG

No they have just lost interest as has hubby who has just left the house. I keep checking on him but he won't move

12:15 pm

Vicuna

Oh well. I haven't done any sewing in ages either. Too many hobbies; I can't pursue them all at once. Since I've been on the writing kick I haven't time for quilting.

12:15 pm

KatieMcG

the frog that is not the hubby who suddenly was needed somewhere else urgently lol

12:15 pm

caitlyn

Poor thing must be frightened........not the frog.......hubby!

12:15 pm

Haz1558

Will he move if you approach him?

12:16 pm

Haz1558

That's been my problem as well, Vi. Too many distractions do prevent me from getting to my quilting the way I'd like.

12:16 pm

KatieMcG

nope even tried shining a torch on him but he knows he is safe where he is, why can't they just leave these things outside and eat felix!!

12:16 pm

Haz1558

(All written in deeply ironic, nay falsehood font)

12:16 pm

FMitch

*snort* yea right Haz!

12:16 pm

Vicuna

Poor Haz. After all, you've got to get all your poking yourself in the eye done before you can get around to sewing.

12:17 pm

Haz1558

Then get a box or something to put over the frog to at least confine him. Wait until husband gets back to work out what to do next....

12:17 pm

Haz1558

It's getting the needle threaded that is only the start of the misery.

12:18 pm

Vicuna

Coax him out with tasty flies delicately prepared with a soupcon of worm sauce.

12:18 pm

KatieMcG

cats have now been throw out, hadn't thought of it before, hopefully there will be some hoppig soon

12:18 pm

KatieMcG

*hopping even

12:18 pm

FMitch

mmm worm sauce :)

12:18 pm

Vicuna

There's some hoping going on already. Can the hopping be far behind?

12:19 pm

caitlyn

LOL

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Good! I'll be forearmed for any frog removal query that comes my way.

12:19 pm

Haz1558

How about throwing a tea towel over the frog and kind of capturing him that way?

12:20 pm

caitlyn

Babble really does expand your thought process

12:20 pm

KatieMcG

let's hope it's not at midnight, I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks that is reasonable behaviour, even if the the cats were dying I would think twice about calling at that time on night

12:20 pm

KatieMcG

great idea, will go and get one so when there is movement I will get him

12:20 pm

Haz1558

These sorts of problems should have been in the Krypton Factor.

12:21 pm

Haz1558

*smug* - I do dispense useful advice sometimes.

12:21 pm

Vicuna

Do you have any tea towels with butterflies or something on them? That will seem more enticing, I'm sure.

12:21 pm

caitlyn

I agree Haz the next question please...........

12:22 pm

KatieMcG

comletely phobic of butterflies and moths nothing in the house has them on lol

12:22 pm

FMitch

lol

12:22 pm

Haz1558

I think caitlyn should answer any holiday related questions. What's the best suntan lotion, that kind of thing.

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Well, I didn't even bother asking whether you had any tea towels with mosquitos on them.

12:22 pm

KatieMcG

once had to give a book to charity which I hadn't read because it had a pencil drawing of a month on every page

12:22 pm

Haz1558

And first aid, too, of course.

12:23 pm

caitlyn

Always ready to please

12:23 pm

Vicuna

to make into a picnic-insect-sided geometric figure?

12:37 pm

KatieMcG

tipping down with rain at the cricket, turning over to the football

12:38 pm

Vicuna

offer the cricket to the frog!

12:39 pm

KatieMcG

I'm now ignoring the frog situations, if all else fails pretent it isn't happening

12:39 pm

Vicuna

Fair enough.

12:40 pm

torgone

I pretty much ignore the French as well ..

12:41 pm

Vicuna

Should Katie McG start calling her visitor a Freedom toad?

12:41 pm

KatieMcG

lol vic

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

I can't ignore the french since the French catholic priest lives next door to me.

12:43 pm

jmcnrick

I can't ignore the Haitians either

12:44 pm

Vicuna

If KatieMcG can ignore someone camping out in her house, surely you can ignore your next-door neighbors, jmcnrick!

12:44 pm

Vicuna

After all, ignorance is bliss.

12:45 pm

Vicuna

Not that I would know.

12:47 pm

germericanqt

how long does it usually take for the lickety split clues to show up?

12:47 pm

germericanqt

or do they just not do them for some puzzles?

12:49 pm

Vicuna

I think he just doesn't do them some days. But there may be a list on Babblers Anonymous.

12:49 pm

Atalante

viiiiiiiiiiiii :)

12:50 pm

o-o

go here for a list, germericanqt: http://tinyurl.com/lg7tzn

12:50 pm

KatieMcG

Hi ata, how is the elbow?

12:50 pm

Atalante

slooooowly getting better. still bloody painful though!

12:50 pm

Vicuna

Poor poor elbow!

12:52 pm

o-o

apparently lickety's father is in the hospital with prostate cancer

12:53 pm

Vicuna

Oh, ugh. =(

12:53 pm

Atalante

well there went all my "love me, I'm ill" claims :P

12:54 pm

Vicuna

We can love you even if you aren't the illest person around, Ata.

12:54 pm

hurshy

you don't need to be ill for us to love you anyway, silly.

12:55 pm

hurshy

ah, me and vi are so in sync

12:55 pm

Atalante

*grins*

12:55 pm

Vicuna

=D

12:55 pm

Atalante

I love you both tooooo

12:55 pm

Atalante

and I *love* your quilts, Vi

12:56 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, Ata. What a love-fest this is turning out to be!

12:57 pm

hurshy

that g-t-h is really messing with me, keep thinking it's a g-h-t

12:58 pm

Vicuna

Many of the letters are in the wrong places today. =p

12:58 pm

Atalante

and the wrong letters too

1:00 pm

hurshy

i still haven't figured out the best way to convince korean students to relax a bit and not get ulcers. i do my best, but i have no data about whether i am effective.

1:00 pm

Atalante

did you always intend to make a quilt for the baby? and did you curse when you realised you were having twins?

1:01 pm

Vicuna

lol, Ata. I did curse a bit when I learned they were twins, but not because of the quilts! And yes, I intended to make them quilts all along. These are only crib size and pretty quick and easy. The twin-bed-sized ones were more work.

1:02 pm

Atalante

I think your definition of "quick and easy" differs from mine!

1:02 pm

hurshy

i always found kmart to be very little work for a pretty decent quilt...

1:04 pm

Vicuna

Indeed, hurshy, the prices for quilts are quite insanely cheap when you know what it takes to put one together. But I really like making the small ones.

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

sorry the pesky staffers again

1:04 pm

Vicuna

I'm lazy enough that my enjoyment of the larger ones always wears off before they're entirely finished.

1:04 pm

hurshy

well, of course, there are plenty of quilts that are NOT insanely cheap, too, that are the better, gorgeous, handmade ones.

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

its easier to ignore a frog since they are quieter than my neighbors

1:05 pm

Vicuna

lol, jmcnrick!

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

I don't have A/C and one night last summer the priest and a couple of friends were loudly singing french drinking songs at 1 a.m. on a work night!

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

now that I have babble I guess I won't go yell at them in my nightie this year

1:07 pm

Vicuna

It didn't lull you gently to sleep, I gather.

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

no they were on the front porch of the house

1:07 pm

hurshy

babble, promoting peace and harmony around the globe...

1:07 pm

Atalante

priest! outrageous!

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

then there was the late weeknight party with a stereo on the front porch . . .

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

I have less trouble from the frat boys

1:08 pm

Vicuna

Dr G's next t-shirt design can be "pe5/14, lo4/7, Ba6/36"

1:09 pm

Atalante

I really really want to make up some really cool babble t-shirts

1:09 pm

hurshy

it's easy, ata

1:09 pm

hurshy

but you know this.

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

I want the Puppies Promote Peace t-shirts ;-)

1:10 pm

Atalante

I'm nice enough to not do it behind DrG's back

1:10 pm

hurshy

i like www.zazzle.com because you can make your own and also put up the design for sale, and then if anyone else happens to want it, you get a smidge of royalty!

1:11 pm

hurshy

well, you could always design them and see if he'd buy your designs... or if he wouldn't mind if you made them yourself...

1:11 pm

Soodle

Fireworks for me!!! Can I help anybody?

1:11 pm

Vicuna

Hey, I just looked up today's icon theme and it's "pets." I'm surprised you aren't taking advantage of it!

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

I will have to look at that hursh I have been talking about a "Trade Teddy" t-shirt (it's a Nationals baseball thing) for forty forevers

1:11 pm

Vicuna

Yay for Soodlebum!

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo soodle

1:11 pm

hurshy

yes, indeed, you can help somebody!

1:11 pm

Soodle

Where do you see what the days theme is?

1:11 pm

Atalante

I could ... but I don't spend my time on possibilities of getting paid these days! :P

1:12 pm

hurshy

1:12 pm

Christine

I have zo4/9, any clue for the other?

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

sprite told me a few weeks ago that Monday was going to be pets for the foreseeable future unless something specific comes up

1:12 pm

Vicuna

Under sprite's profile. You can find her at the top of rankings and click on her.

1:12 pm

Vicuna

Oh, lol, jmcnrick. Then I guess there's no hurry to rush to change mine, seeing as I have only the one pet.

1:13 pm

Soodle

1:14 pm

hurshy

or rather, middle eastern, i don't know if i mean muslim.

1:14 pm

Atalante

hajira I think

1:15 pm

hurshy

ah.

1:15 pm

Vicuna

hegira is an escape, as Mohammed did at one point

1:15 pm

hurshy

so i'm really close one way or another...

1:15 pm

Atalante

or hegira! vi knows these things!

1:16 pm

Vicuna

Well, Vi knows these things vaguely and quickly Googles to confirm! lol

1:17 pm

Atalante

that works :)

1:17 pm

hurshy

that still leaves one missing 6 for me... *not to be bothersome*

1:17 pm

Atalante

sa6?

1:17 pm

hurshy

are there two sa6?

1:17 pm

Atalante

1:18 pm

hurshy

aha, ok, then i do need one of them.

1:18 pm

hurshy

1:18 pm

Atalante

1:21 pm

Atalante

bye dearest!

1:22 pm

hurshy

get this. my husband knows someone who just named their kid Odin. isn't that ... um ... sort of weirdly presumptous?

1:23 pm

Atalante

either that or they love Neil Gaiman novels

1:23 pm

Silverback

hi soodle and all

1:23 pm

hurshy

but the middle name is Howard. Odin Howard. it's like they can't decide if they want him to be a bully or a geek.

1:23 pm

Atalante

I used to know someone called Thor

1:25 pm

ch1212

I did too, Ata -- a blond, Greek God sort of looking young man. Exchange student. Stood in our philosophy class and announced "I am Thor!" Even the teacher was stunned! :D

1:26 pm

Atalante

lmao I bet!

1:26 pm

hurshy

see i think if you're going to do that, you have to really go for it. Odin Thor, something like that. but Odin Howard? it just doesn't... go.

1:27 pm

Atalante

1:27 pm

clue for the ta6/27? ... please...

2:00 pm

Pinikula

hi beach...sorry, I don't have any 6's

2:01 pm

beachboggle

hi Pini!... thanks anyway..

2:02 pm

Ian Hayman

How does the scoring work?

2:02 pm

Pinikula

the first number is the number of letters/tiles, the 2nd number is the word value...

2:03 pm

Pinikula

4 letter words are the tile points x 1; 5 letter words are the tiles points x 2; etc.

2:03 pm

Ian Hayman

Ah...that helps then.

2:04 pm

Pinikula

so the ta6/27 = 6 letters + point value x 3 = 27 (or tile face value total of 9)

2:04 pm

Pinikula

did that make sense?

2:04 pm

Ian Hayman

Very much so...only 51 words to go...thanks!

2:04 pm

lbdawger

good luck, reid. the last ones are the ones that drive us over the edge!

8:26 pm

Jacula

I guess, given the news about Lickety's Dad, that we old timers will be posting our lists more often. I think L's time will be taken up elsewhere, and understandbly so.

8:26 pm

torgone

All righty then ..

8:26 pm

Hi Torg.

8:42 pm

Jacula

Trif - LOL! Not the Kama Sutra - we'd injure ourselves/

8:42 pm

lbdawger

8:52 pm

Jacula

Trif - I think it must be the hardest thing in the world to do when neither of you asked for it but you've had it thrust upon you and there is one happy real parent/partner in the middle.

8:53 pm

Jacula

Except that he isn't happy 'cos work's going kaput and he can see both of you are stressed.

8:53 pm

Trifioso

oh dear. but can I say, I admire what you and the beloved are doing SO MUCH. that girl is gonna get her chance, because you two are sticking by her.

8:53 pm

pam

I can not even imagine, Jac, and yet, I have a good feeling that it will turn out well.

8:54 pm

Jacula

In fact, we (me and her) just had a little chat about that).

8:55 pm

Jacula

Pam/Trif, I hope so. If I could just get over how much of her mother I see in her (she can't help that!).

8:55 pm

Trifioso

is she behaving pretty nicely, or is she giving you a go?

8:55 pm

Trifioso

try to see her as a little baby, when she is frosting you. It often helps me.

8:56 pm

Jacula

There are only two people who have been in my life that I can truly say I hate - one is the serial marraige breaker who broke up my marriage and the other is my partner's wife.

8:57 pm

pam

No she can't help that, but she has you around to moderate it!

8:57 pm

Trifioso

you can hate my ex, if you are looking to add to the list...

8:58 pm

babbelmaster

hell all im new and i found 30 words in 15 min

8:58 pm

Jacula

Trif - she's 14 - so sometimes she's nice and sometimes she's nasty. Her Mum doesn't seem to have done anything to give her any common sense and so I have to keep trying to drum some in, nicely. But, obvously, she sometimes flounces off saying, 'I can't do anything right!'

8:58 pm

rururocks

you can hate my MIL

8:58 pm

Trifioso

that comes with the puberty territory, I am afraid.

8:59 pm

Jacula

I don't need more people to hate. I feel rotten for feeling hate for anyone.

8:59 pm

if nothing else we learned from FARGO that we can run them through a wood chipper

9:01 pm

Trifioso

nah, some swamp yankee tried it years back, and it didn't go so well. apparently the victim wasn't frozen enough, and jammed the thing up, evidence everywhere. gross!!!

9:02 pm

Jacula

Then you get your stepdaughter who's mother rejected her and she's raw, of course she is. But, amazingly, she accepts texts and 'phone calls from her Mum and seems to have forgiven her for what she did. Her Mum, don't let me scream now, has somehow made her believe that what happened back home was Step's fault.

9:02 pm

lbdawger

omg, i forgot about FARGO!

9:02 pm

Jacula

Hi Pink. There's a list in my bio and on BabAnon.

Hi jmc.

9:09 pm

Trifioso

this grid is unreal. how can just 100 words be such a wrench?

9:09 pm

Jacula

I love my kids, but I made it plain to other half when we got together 6 years ago that I didn't want any more children. Him being 12 years younger than me and only having one child. However, he assured me that he didn't want more children and so we set up together. Both my kids (mid to late teens then) were still at home then. He knew we came as a package. Howver, his 8-yr-old daughter only came as a fortnightly package then, and has done so fo last 6 years, except for holidays away for a week.

9:10 pm

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

(torg do you want some?)

9:11 pm

Jacula

The very last thing I needed at the age of 52 was a moodly 14-year-old thruston me full time. And her Dad's work has changed now so he's out of the transport office and back on the road, probably away most of the week. Not his fault, not hers, not mine. I still want to kill her bloody so-called birth mother though.

9:11 pm

Pinikula

I think I need dinner...you know, food for the brain...

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

go torg go

9:12 pm

lbdawger

Ard, 10 is really an important time for her to know that you are there for her. She's getting to that "lovely" stage of puberty, and we all know how ugly that can get.

9:12 pm

torgone

Vitamin V for me please ..

9:12 pm

cjmomma

oh yes we do

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

i think meditating on the death of her birth mother may well have positive aspects

9:12 pm

Trifioso

what is vitamin v, tor?

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

do you need grey goose or will the house brand do, torg?

9:13 pm

lbdawger

Vodka, Trif

9:13 pm

Trifioso

duh! sorry

9:13 pm

Jacula

LOL, jmc! But if she dies I can't mediate on ways to kill her.

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

I used to be a vodka person but moved on to Jack and for the summer gin

9:13 pm

lbdawger

ah yes, contemplation of son's biological helped us through some really tense times.

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

but you don't need her to die so much as to meditate on ways for her to die

9:14 pm

Jacula

And, even if she died, I see her in certain expressions and flashes of the eye in Stepdaughter.

9:14 pm

cjmomma

<<still getting over the sa6 I missed

9:15 pm

Trifioso

quick poll: what is everyone's favorite way to get rid of poison ivy rash?

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

those are the good of Birth Mother because they are in stepdaughter

9:16 pm

Jacula

I still can't come to terms with how a mother could belive her possibly paedo b/f over her daughter, and, even if she didn't, choose him over her.

Lemon juice ..

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

let her konw that you choose her over a roll in the hay

9:17 pm

Jacula

I see nothing good from her mother. Nothing at all. Not the tempers, the flouncesor the tantrums. And, most especially not, the low self esteem.

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

*cortisone

9:17 pm

lbdawger

oatmeal bath or poultice

9:17 pm

Trifioso

hmm. thanks all. people all over the place on PI....

9:18 pm

cjmomma

I know how you feel Jac, just know that there has to be good in the teen, in might be hard to find though

9:18 pm

lbdawger

ah, but jac, those are behaviours, and those can be changed.

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

but Jac even the most evil lowest creep has something good

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

so assume that whatever you see in stepdau is the very little good in ex

9:18 pm

cjmomma

have to dig deep

9:19 pm

Jacula

jmc - I'm not sure her mother does. I've asked all of her family, even her mother...

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

besides the most wonderful teen in the world leaves a great deal to be desired

9:19 pm

cjmomma

ditto that jmc

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

your not sure he mother does what?

9:19 pm

cjmomma

history repeats itself...sadly

9:20 pm

Jacula

I think she is a woman who professes to be intelligent because she got a degree in journalism but is actually very stupid and shallow.

9:20 pm

lbdawger

i try to be nice to son's biological, thinking that at least she gave birth to a lovely child.

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

okay there is a difference between book smart and street smart

9:20 pm

cjmomma

someone who has to convince everyone she is intelligent is obviously lacking sense

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

getting a degree doesn't make you smart

9:21 pm

Jacula

I've been nice to step's Mum up to now. But I can't forgive her for this.

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

you may make the difference so that this girl grows to be a woman who is very much worth knowing

9:21 pm

cjmomma

that is the best to hope for Jac

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

torg should I upgrade the vodka for you?

9:22 pm

lbdawger

try to see it as an upside for you to have a chance to mould this young woman into something that isn't her mother

9:22 pm

Jacula

jmc - I will take your words and etch them on my heart in the times past and to come when I think I'm not up to the task.xx

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

precisely lbd

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

you are soooooo up to the task jac

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

so now that I have solved the worlds problems---I have 23 to go

9:24 pm

Jacula

lbd - if I can do one thing, it will be that and it's what I've been trying to do. Unfortunately. that's led to a few floumces out of 'I can't do ANYTHING right!' so far.

9:24 pm

torgone

Just try to be a good example .. That's what most wayward young people lack - Someone they want to emulate ..

9:24 pm

9:25 pm

Jacula

I've also been asked by her, when 'advising' her gently about the way we do things here, why I'm not shouting or hitting her.

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

hate th4 movie lbd but the point is that we must live our lives in the best way we can and hope they give an example to others

9:25 pm

lbdawger

Jac, that's teenage angst. right now she probably does feel like she can't do anything right, all the more to praise her when she does, those little things.

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

have the indian dress (always wonder why indian throwing yourself on a funeral pyre doesn't count)

9:26 pm

Jacula

Is that what she undertands? Is that what I should do? The nearest I came to it was lat night when I asked her not to leave the house when no one was by the front door without shutting the front door.

9:26 pm

Jacula

She'd left it on the latch because she'd forgotten to bring her keys down.

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

I teach sunday school for teens and I will tell you they pay way more attention than they admit

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

what can I say I haven't locked my door in years

9:28 pm

Trifioso

I don't think you should hit or shout, no! I would just say that "this is the way we do things here" and leave it at that

9:28 pm

lbdawger

and when she does remember, gently say, "thank you for remembering to close the front door"

9:28 pm

Jacula

jmc - here you have to. It was once a country village but now, if someone sees you nip over to the local shop (only yards away) they wiull go in and pinch the handbag they know all women keep on a hook in the cupboard under the stairs.

9:28 pm

Trif - it takes people in different ways. Some people become incommunicado, others go on about rubbish, others, formerly gentle, want to take everyone on. Other can't stand up. Other march up and down to the point of exhaustion.
