OMG not MY wedding; a friend's daughter's wedding

12:50 am

12:51 am

dcseain

LOL Jill

12:51 am

dcseain

my Tom is a Roman Catholic

12:51 am

jillibus

oh, how boring!

12:51 am

I used to love RC haven't seen it in years

12:52 am

jillibus

bless Tom, dc ;)

12:52 am

dcseain

RC is very available around here

12:52 am

dcseain

he converted about 5 years ago, jill

12:52 am

jillibus

converted from what, dc?

12:53 am

dcseain

Roman Catholocism

12:53 am

rururocks

from what did he convert?

12:53 am

dcseain

agnosticism

12:53 am

jillibus

I thought he had converted TO Roman Catholicism

12:54 am

dcseain

indeed he did, jill

12:54 am

rururocks

oh..that is a big step there

12:54 am

jillibus

oh! that's interesting!

12:54 am

rururocks

not such a welcoming religion for your relationship though.

12:55 am

dcseain

indeed not, ruru. he actually boycots attending mass due to the current Pope. He does hit confession now and again though

12:55 am

jillibus

hi, handsome ruru

12:56 am

rururocks

The new pope is a little tooo conservative ..no?

12:56 am

rururocks

Hello jilli

12:56 am

dcseain

-t makes the past tense of the yiddish sh5

12:56 am

dcseain

not just conservative, but backward-leaning in some ways, from my understanding, ruru

12:57 am

rururocks

The Roman Catholic church is so far out of reality in my opinion..

12:58 am

jillibus

as I've said before, I'm on a sabbatical from organised religion

12:58 am

dcseain

the RC Church of America is among the most progressive, though they have their problems, as does any large organization

12:58 am

rururocks

well said jilli

12:58 am

dcseain

i find that reasonable an rational, jilli

12:58 am

jaianniah

Oh. I did not know religion was organized.....(LOL!)

12:59 am

rururocks

Is that the soda church DC?

12:59 am

dcseain

well, the Church of Rome does have a history of supporting royals

12:59 am

Bugsaw

I believe in faith, not church

1:00 am

dcseain

hear, hear, bugsaw!

1:00 am

rururocks

very witty DC..

1:00 am

gortmold

faith in what? church of soda? royals? what the...?

1:00 am

dcseain

:)

1:01 am

dcseain

Royal Crown (RC) cola vs the Roman Catholic (RC) church, with an odd monarch tossed in for good measure, gortmold :)

1:01 am

Bugsaw

whatever suits gortmold. Just believe in something greater than yourself

1:01 am

mixi6

pa x 14, pe x9, what am I missing?

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

I think the coolest part is we are still free to believe whatever we choose... whether it is organized, a denomination, or whatever... hopefully America will remain free enough that we have such liberties

1:02 am

jillibus

the Flying Spaghetti Monster Incarnate

1:02 am

dcseain

1:02 am

westford

1:02 am

jaianniah

I am of the spiritual sort that likes spirituality but is leery of organizing God

1:02 am

dcseain

i have a friend who believes in the Invisible Pink Unicorn, for her holiness predates the FSM

1:02 am

jillibus

probably, ruru

1:03 am

jillibus

lol dc!

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

mix you are further with the p's than I am

1:03 am

rururocks

Unicorns don't exist?

1:03 am

westford

I had angel hair pasta for dinner does that count?

1:03 am

dcseain

the IPU started out much as the FSM, and now both have their adherents

1:04 am

You're welcome.

5:44 am

herinfernallady

well my senility set in today. How is SPangle?

5:44 am

lizmac

Morning all. Haz, did you get to see the tall ships? We, stupidly, took notice of the weather forecast and didn't go. By the time we WOULD have been on the ferry the sun was beaming down...RATS !!

5:45 am

Haz1558

She's fine, arranging the paws as usual.

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Hi Liz

5:45 am

KatieMcG

Hi Liz

5:45 am

lizmac

Hi Herin.

5:46 am

Haz1558

Hello liz - I'd really wanted to go but between work and other commitments didn't manage. My daughter and her boyfriend went yesterday and really enjoyed it (as you said the weather cleared up really well). It was very crowded!

5:46 am

lizmac

Hi Katie.

5:46 am

herinfernallady

O liz what a shame. My idot weather forecaster did the same thing today. 20 and fine with scattered showers not cold and raining all day. Not that I am complaining about the rain.

5:46 am

Haz1558

The whole country seemed to have decided to go to see them - they're so spectacular.

5:47 am

lizmac

Pity I missed it, have been the last two years, a good day out. Ah well, next year!

5:47 am

herinfernallady

oh my I just nearly fainted at 57 C words

5:47 am

Haz1558

Liz, is there any chance you could see them as they head away from here? It's reasonably bright here today.

5:48 am

lizmac

Now THERE's an idea, might head out to Portpatrick to have a look.

5:49 am

Haz1558

It would be worth the trip. Seeing them in full sail would be something!

5:49 am

KatieMcG

great idea haz

5:49 am

Haz1558

Bring your binoculars!

5:50 am

Haz1558

If we didn't have the phone (drat!) we'd be heading towards Whitehead or Islandmagee to see them from a height.

5:50 am

lizmac

Any idea what time they leave?

5:50 am

Haz1558

Let me check for you.

5:51 am

Haz1558

Parade of sail starting from approx 2pm leaving Belfast.

5:52 am

lizmac

Great, thanks. I'll report back if we spy them. Thanks Haz.

5:52 am

Haz1558

http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/tallship
s/ is the council website. It's been the talk of the place here for days.

5:53 am

Haz1558

Hope you see them, liz!

5:53 am

herinfernallady

O wow. that is amazing

5:54 am

lizmac

fees

5:55 am

lizmac

Ouch, sorreee. Please, no penalty box, I've got ships to see!

5:56 am

KatieMcG

I think we should let you off just this once

5:57 am

herinfernallady

I think Liz was a tad excited about the ships

5:57 am

Haz1558

We are a forgiving people.

5:58 am

KatieMcG

right I'm off for some drugs and soft food, bbs

5:58 am

lizmac

Thank you for your understanding. I'll go and wash my face in preparation for outing. Byeee.

5:58 am

Haz1558

I hope the drugs are soft as well.

5:58 am

Haz1558

Bye liz.

5:59 am

KatieMcG

lol haz, ibuprofen is not illegal yet thank goodness

6:00 am

herinfernallady

Oh Katie :( Clove oil on that tooth hun

6:01 am

Haz1558

Are you needing a visit to the dentist?

6:02 am

Haz1558

She's obviously scuttled off to get those drugs into her.

6:03 am

herinfernallady

poor love

6:04 am

jaianniah

sc 7,32?

6:05 am

Haz1558

6:05 am

Haz1558

Phone...

6:05 am

KatieMcG

back from the drugs. Absess started yesterday, dentist all shut unti Monday! At 2.30 am I was in such paid I seriously considered paying hundreds of pounds to get seen today but in the daylight I am being a little braver lol

6:06 am

jaianniah

You're right, Haz- I did!

6:06 am

KatieMcG

me too jaian

6:07 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, jaianniah.

6:08 am

Haz1558

Is there no emergency dentist (called the pain clinic here for good reason!)?

6:08 am

Haz1558

Or under-the-counter antibiotics?

6:09 am

KatieMcG

couldn't find anything without going to A&E and that seemed a little over the top. The only problem is that I can't shut my teeth so eating seems out of the question, may suck on some bread later

6:09 am

Haz1558

Smoothies or soup sounds like the thing.

6:10 am

jaianniah

Last two sc's?

6:10 am

Haz1558

sc5 -a little piece of material, sc6 -an unfortunate graze, especially if it's on metal.

6:10 am

KatieMcG

typical that it happens at a weekend. I'm really busy at work at the moment but will need to take tomorrow off to get it sorted. Luckily I brought loads of work home to do over the weekend

6:11 am

jaianniah

nm- got 'em!

6:11 am

KatieMcG

must be affecting my brain I had both of those without the s on the front!

Great weather except for a brief storm on Thursday. It came in rapidly over the mountain while we were kayaking. We retreated into the woods and hid under trees, under a tarp, and got pelted with hail!

8:14 am

NonoNanette

ouchie !

8:14 am

That lasted 30 min then it rained another hour. The dark clouds passed, out came the sun and we went back to kayak.

8:14 am

8:16 am

NonoNanette

hi Hurshy

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Paddle, relax, repeat-----I have a shirt that says that.

8:17 am

hurshy

hehe

8:19 am

hurshy

i had a weird dream last night

8:19 am

Anniebrook

what?

8:19 am

hurshy

i won a lot of money. but it was a bad dream.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

There is a group of mentally retarded men here, on a People & Places trip, and they are so sweet. I have been talking with them for the last few days. Annie, I am now talking with Joey, who has Down Syndrome. He is so adorable--telling me about his girlfriend.

8:19 am

Boobear

good Sunday all

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi Boobear

8:20 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, How old is Joey? Does he live at home?

8:21 am

NonoNanette

good morning Boo

8:21 am

Anniebrook

hi boo

8:21 am

Boobear

Hi Annie and Nono

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Joe just told me that he will be 35 on Aug 29th.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

He has a birthday coming up.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

One of the gentleman in the group, in his 60's I would guess, is now playing the piano--he plays by ear---amazing savant gift!

8:24 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Can you ask Joe where he lives or is that too personal a question?

8:24 am

Anniebrook

I also wonder who is sponsoring the trip/

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Joe lives in Rochester. Not all of these guys live together. They are on this trip through People & Places. Volunteers take people on trips everywhere.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

I am thinking of becoming a volunteer.

8:26 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Scrabbler.

8:27 am

hurshy

my childhood is se4ing back into my mind and making me imagine that i smell pancakes that my dad is cooking downstairs

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Joey is TOO sweet! Talking about working at the workshop, about going home tomorrow and calling his friends, about his girlfriends of the past--he broke up with Lisa because she was nasty.

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I might have pancakes for breakfast.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

Sounds like Bobby.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

He has folded papers in his pocket with names + phone numbers.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, Workshops are a godsend. When Bobby comes home with his paycheck he is so proud. He cashes the check at the bank by himself.

8:30 am

Anniebrook

Joey sounds like a sweetheart.

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Yes, these men have discussed what they do with their money. They went to the Adirondack Museum yesterday and bought things in the gift shop with their money.

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Wonderful. Bobby spends his money on copies of Egyptian artifacts and baseball books.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

OK, my sister has come downstairs so we are going to have breakfast. Bye all!

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Bye. Enjoy the pancakes

8:32 am

herinfernallady

Bye Scrabbler.

8:32 am

8:32 am

NonoNanette

8:32 am

Anniebrook

herin, I am happy that you feel that way.

8:33 am

herinfernallady

My friend in high schools brother was high end autistic. He had a great deal of respect for me as I treated him like anyone else

8:34 am

NonoNanette

such diversified interests he has Annie, Egyptian artifacts and baseball. I bet he likes to talk about them too

8:34 am

Anniebrook

Nono, Yes he does. He is a fan of The History Channel and a big fan of the Mets.

8:35 am

NonoNanette

good boy! The history channel has some awesome programming.

8:36 am

NonoNanette

The Mets are my favorite team as well

8:37 am

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

hm i he5 that complaint last week on garden show not sure what it was. can you stuff the blossoms?

10:25 am

sprite

I don't know 'stuff' in this meaning... what should I do?

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

they are a delicay can be filled with bread crumb mixture and fried

10:26 am

phaeton

hello

10:26 am

sprite

hi phaeton

10:26 am

dcseain

pick the blossoms and fill them savory things an cook them, sprite

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

or sauteed - check for recipes

10:26 am

dcseain

hi phaeton

10:26 am

sprite

ah ok, that's an idea!

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

hi pahe

10:26 am

dcseain

squash blossoms are tasty, many recipes available

10:26 am

NonoNanette

sounds like they are not getting pollenated sprite

10:26 am

NonoNanette

hi paeton

10:27 am

periwinkle

never ate squash blossoms, hmm

10:27 am

phaeton

Owl, are you talking about the blossoms or the zucchini?

10:27 am

sprite

that is another option, indeed. I could try and brush the flowers. Lots of bees and ... (huge bees?) though.

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

the blossoms. sprite, what happens when the blossoms fall off? what do you have?

10:28 am

NonoNanette

sprite, I found this on the net: Zucchini plants have both female and male flowers, and bees usually do the pollination. However, some years, I remove a male flower that has opened and rub the pollen on the female flower just after it also has opened. This will give me fruit.

To understand the difference between a male and a female flower, look it up on the internet. A female flower has a swollen small zucchini behind it.

10:29 am

sprite

Nanette, thanks! That is very helpful, I will try.

10:29 am

72 Temple Owl

yes but i think t hey are self pollinating. it's coming back to me now. I will awat to check the website for you sprite

10:29 am

sprite

(bumble bees, perhaps? Those huge beelike creatures who can take up so much pollen that they cannot fly anymore?)

How is Terra doing?

1:24 pm

sprite

Terra has been ill, from a virus. Virus is over, but I am still not too happy with how he is. He eats irregularly and isn't yet his happy, jumpy self.
Went back to the vet. He did not worry about eating etc, but he checked the hips and said there is too much room and they are very painful. Must come back in 1,5 months and if there is no improvement, he will make X-rays.

so I guess I should lie down again. Took a nap to help the migraine -- and the pain went away, but the visual component came back. So now it's been half an hour and the visual is better but the pain is coming back. this is frustrating

6:40 pm

crosshair

i worked at a dairy from 1980-84 and made tons of the stuff;)

6:41 pm

welki

considering the ice cream and bacon, it' s little wonder why i'm not svelte ;)

6:41 pm

crosshair

mm crossy ponders if bacon iced cream can work....

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

We used to go to this Amish store as a kid, called Gettle's. they would dole out the ice cream in huge amounts hard to keep it on a cone.

6:41 pm

crosshair

lol welki,you probably get the same stuff i do maple and hickory smoked:))

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

Welki, you just need to take up a little running, then you will find yourself eating like, all the time.

6:41 pm

I used to like Ben & Jerry's white russian. Then they stopped making it.Then next I liked B & J's chocolate fudge sundae and now I like Ben & Jerry's half baked.

6:43 pm

DR1965

I have been struggling with Planter fac... since May

6:43 pm

DR1965

I feel your pain

6:44 pm

welki

i wouldn't wish this pain on anyone, dr. i can barely walk, it brings tears to my eyes

6:44 pm

crosshair

speaking to those who have had carpal tunnel syndrome..did you start with problems opening up your hand to pick up wide stuff like jar of peanut butter bottle of pop etc?

6:44 pm

welki

and it interferes with my fishing, so i'm ticked off about it, too

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

oooh, Welki, I just got over some PF and my achilles is a bit whack but not as bad as you describe, I am so sorry.

6:45 pm

DR1965

Mine is when I walk in the morning .. I stretch my foot before i get out of bed

6:45 pm

crosshair

planter fac??

6:46 pm

redturtlehead

DR, they have these socks you can buy that hold your feet in the right position overnight, not etremely sexy, btu apparently they work.

6:46 pm

DR1965

my own little abbreviation

6:46 pm

welki

i've done those stretching things, even with a little rolly-type seesaw for my feet ... it lasts all day, 24/7. 'rest, welki,' they say .. uh, but how?

6:46 pm

DR1965

really! ... going to check that out!

6:46 pm

welki

socks? what are they called? i'm in!

6:48 pm

redturtlehead

Also, get you 2 20 ounce soda bottles, empty them fill with water, freeze, and use those to roll along your feet.

6:48 pm

redturtlehead

I'll go look up the socks...

6:48 pm

welki

when i walk down the stairs in the morning (one by one), i look like i must be methuselah's sister .. and i am not an old lady. (well, relatively speaking, anyway)

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

here is a web site...

6:49 pm

welki

wow .. this pain talk is doing wonders for my game, only 5 left!

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

http://www.thesock.com/

6:49 pm

welki

brilliant url *lol*

6:49 pm

redturtlehead

darn, I have 14 left. Apparently the sock does work. and I look like you too on steps welki, it hurts.

6:50 pm

welki

oh shhhhhhhht, that would hurt the achilles tendon! had one podiatrist tell me to start wearing heels to STOP stretching them! oy!

6:50 pm

DR1965

thanks Red...

6:50 pm

redturtlehead

No, the heels, welki, shorten the tendon, and then you have to stretch it to walk normally....

6:50 pm

welki

will read about it, thanks for the link!

6:51 pm

welki

yes, that's why i don't go to that podiatrist anymore

6:51 pm

redturtlehead

sorry, I've had a lot of injries in the nether regions....

6:51 pm

redturtlehead

it might hurt your tendon too much to use it until that heals up.

6:52 pm

Nef

hello everybody. tell me about foot pain! It's a 24/7 thing for me for the past 3 years. After a while it gets tiring

6:52 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

6:52 pm

welki

you're right, nef. it is tiring. it is exhausting to have chronic pain. on the other hand, it's a symptom of being alive, so that's a good thing :)

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

I just cut the heel out of one of my shoes, and it does seem to be improving my wierd tendon issue... but I dont recommend it.

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

and it is exhausting.

6:53 pm

redturtlehead

Hi nef.

6:53 pm

Nef

*I* am okay; we are dealing with mentally ill Dtr in law again.

6:53 pm

crosshair

thats my feeling welki,as lonjg as i can feel it then im still kicking!

6:53 pm

DR1965

HI Nef

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

Ugh Nef. Not fun at all.

6:54 pm

DR1965

I am sorry to he4 that!

6:54 pm

Nef

I agree welki. I had a foot/ankle injury 3 years ago, 3 surgeries later I can't be on my feet more than 2 hours at a stretch (but the ortho doc says 2 hours per day)

6:55 pm

DR1965

does anyone have the es6/ 24?

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

I'm trying to avoid a surgery right now, Nef, that is not encouraging!

6:56 pm

welki

foot problems seem to run in my family. we must collectively spend more on shoes, orthotics, podiatrists, anti-inflammatories, etc. than we do on ... ice cream!

6:56 pm

Nef

I have found my son is making me proud to be his mother. I don't know how he does it; but he is so patient and caring that it amazes me

6:56 pm

DR1965

but ice cream is SO MUCH more fun welki... : )

6:56 pm

Nef

what did you do to your foot, red?

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

DR it is the very bad burned skin on a person....think about Es plus **ar broiled burgers.

6:57 pm

Minveryork

That es 6/24 word is es plus the ch 4/6 word DR1965

6:57 pm

DR1965

You did something right then Nef!!

6:57 pm

o-o

es + the ****ge of the light brigade

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

We think I partially tore my tendon and to repair it my amazing body grew up some bone around it....

6:57 pm

DR1965

AH - got it - thanks

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

entrapping it....

6:57 pm

Nef

which tendon, red?

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

its getting a lot better now.

6:58 pm

welki

ooh, red. why won't you have the surgery? my tendons are so damaged, that surgery is only an option if one ruptures

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

they detach the tendon and clean it up and then reattach the tendon. I dont know if my tendon will function correctly after all that.

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

Plus, its a six week recovery.

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

my left achilles.

6:59 pm

welki

better now than when you're older, red. and it's not functioning "right" now, is it? (i was told 6 - 8 weeks recovery, but i'm a bit older than you are)

7:00 pm

redturtlehead

well, I am still running on it, so I think its functioning enough.

7:00 pm

welki

and nef .. you just hug that son of yours. he must have a full plate right now .. and probably needs his mom to tell you what you just told us

7:00 pm

Nef

mine was my post-tib tendon. They repaired it, then it tore lose and was torn lengthwise; the next surgery was a removal of that tendon, cutting out part of the heel bone, lengthening of the achilles tendon and a (fdl?) tendon transfer

7:01 pm

DR1965

HE must be one strong young man Nef!

7:01 pm

Nef

third surgery was cutting out a decubiti on the heel that wouldn't heal

7:02 pm

DR1965

Oh NEF !!! Sounds so painful... even in writing (((HUGS)))

7:02 pm

Nef

I tell him every day how much I admire him; and ask how I can help.

7:02 pm

welki

*sigh* so maybe dealing with the pain isn't such a bad idea (i take all my posts back, red)

7:03 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I am running a Marathon in February, after that I might do it, maybe...

7:03 pm

Nef

that achilles tendon is now too long; which makes it interesting when youhave charley horses

7:03 pm

welki

fireworks ... can i clue for a few minutes before i leave?

7:04 pm

redturtlehead

Nef, thats sounds terrible, terrible. and I am glad your son is such a star. Lots of love for him.

7:04 pm

Nef

YAY, welki! WTG!!!

7:04 pm

DR1965

WOOHOO WELKI!!!

Shoots off Roman Candles for Welki!!!!!

7:06 pm

Nef

red, a friends' hubby had the same injury that I had but his doctor chose to use braces (he has Parkinsons disease too). I wish I'd had a doc who would have been more conservative. Do you know if there is a brace that would help you?

7:06 pm

Nef

BTW, I like the idea of the frozen bottles for the feet! I'll have to try that!

7:06 pm

DR1965

ok 12 s words to go...

7:06 pm

redturtlehead

I have to go back to Podiatrist and see what he says. I think my actual cutting the heel off my shoe has really improved it... we tried a month of cataflam but I could not really tolerate it three times daily.

7:06 pm

welki

yucky as they sound, i did find some okay birk-looking sandals made by that grandma shoe company SAS -- and while they're pricey, they seem to have support in the right places and ease some of the pain (the style is Comfy)

7:07 pm

DR1965

actually 12 P and s words

7:07 pm

redturtlehead

Help with the very last SH word?

7:08 pm

8:21 pm

nelleon

apologies! don't know how I got in there!

8:21 pm

DR1965

oreos are cookies!

8:21 pm

stidmama

It's like doughnuts, only instead of making round shapes you leave the dough sticky and pinch off spiky bits and drop it in the hot oil... mmmmm.

8:21 pm

jmcnrick

I am assuming bug nuts are not deep fried roaches (which I have also eaten)

8:21 pm

stidmama

I just like icecream. cold, melted, baked Alaska...

8:22 pm

gortmold

**gortmold rearranging neurons to comprehend how a cookie gets fried**

8:22 pm

DR1965

choclate cookie, cream filling

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

8:22 pm

Hello fouette

8:29 pm

anyway, going through clouds seems scary, but the instruments the pilots use are really very accurate and tell the pilots how high up they are, where they are by the map, and what other planes might be near.

8:36 pm

stidmama

8:36 pm

rururocks

* no comment **

8:36 pm

stidmama

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

8:37 pm

stidmama

8:37 pm

fouette

they didn't

8:37 pm

rururocks

Is this Mount St Helens you talking about?

8:38 pm

fouette

8:39 pm

stidmama

stidmama

It was raining in Paradise! *sigh*

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

8:40 pm

fouette

it was cool even with clouds

8:40 pm

stidmama

8:40 pm

stidmama

it was lovely -- Gio took some excellent pics of things with the mist wrapping around them.

8:40 pm

fouette

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

I never asked if it was cold

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

I assume so since I was never warm in Washington State

8:41 pm

stidmama

I think jmc's husband was a funny man -- wish I could have met him. He was a greener grad, too!

8:41 pm

lbdawger

8:41 pm

rururocks

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

8:42 pm

stidmama

They're in New York at the moment, but I think they're having a good time.

Minveryork

No, I do not use a2z wordfinder or morewords.I just use Lickety's list and then clues from this chog nrkii.

9:47 pm

nrkii

a2z has been acting very hinkey on me the last week or so, and I wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue

9:47 pm

9:49 pm

I use AVG and spybot and havn't had that problem...

9:51 pm

nrkii

the guy at PC Doctor recommended I go with Norton

9:51 pm

lbdawger

I don't like Norton, doesn't catch all the nasties out there. I use McAfee.

9:51 pm

cjmomma

they are both great and free! :)

9:52 pm

nrkii

I used to use McAfee, but I got majorly infected

9:52 pm

Minveryork

Norton wasn't free for me. I paid $50.00 for it I think

9:52 pm

nrkii

none of them are perfect, I guess ... :(

9:52 pm

cjmomma

both norton and mcafee slowed computer down and still things got through

9:52 pm

nrkii

okay, I'm gonna run... gotta go do something about my 10 mosquito bites that are driving me insane

9:53 pm

cjmomma

so my comp friend turned me onto AVG free and it's great

9:53 pm

nrkii

have a good night all!

9:53 pm

Trifioso

e's ended!

9:53 pm

Minveryork

I think mcafee is free for aol users.I had it for awhile

9:53 pm

Bugsaw

I use AVG and sybot and it always says my machine is clean, but Babble has not been working well for me either. It is not consistant

9:53 pm

lbdawger

I haven't had problems with McAfee at all. Norton crashed me big time and had to start from scratch including getting a new windows program.

9:53 pm

Trifioso

f's finished!

9:53 pm

cjmomma

Min - I'm not a fan of virtually spelling words out either but sometimes it is warranted.

10:28 pm

Minveryork

So have you been using mother nature as your toilet?

10:28 pm

Bugsaw

FOr sure. When I am blind to a word you have to spell it out in finger spelling for me to get it. lol

10:29 pm

Bugsaw

Not quite. It is balanced carefully over the hole and then you have to flush it by dumping a bucket of water into it. We only have one bathroom and this is NOT working for me. The men don't seem to care!

10:30 pm

Jacula

Bugsaw - when my bathroom (only one at the time) was being renovated along with a house extension, I had to use a bucket in the greenhouse up the top of the garden. (It has bubblewrap coating the inside of the windows, so no one could see me.)

10:30 pm

Trifioso

FIREWORKS!!! woot woot

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

Yay Trif!

10:30 pm

Jacula

Well done, Trif.

10:30 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Trifioso on fireworks!Hooray for you

10:31 pm

Bugsaw

I was threatened with that Jac but I would rather wait for the times when the pot is positioned over the hole for a while.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Bug - men don't care if no.1 or no.2. They can ;go' anywhere. We ladies don't feel quite the same.

10:32 pm

Bugsaw

The other problem with a bucket and no toilet is, where do you get rid of it? I am not driving around town with a smelly bucket in the backseat looking for an outhouse!!!

10:33 pm

Bugsaw

I agree completely Jac. Men have no clue when it comes to this stuff. He took the tub and the toilet out first!

10:33 pm

Jacula

Bug - I COULD still use the loo in the bathroom, but the side was open to the street, until I put old sh5/12's up there with drawing pins, AND the team of 6 or 7 builders were standing down on the open floor below waiting for me to finish.

10:33 pm

Jacula

*blush*

10:34 pm

Bugsaw

Oh gross! An audience is too much!!

10:34 pm

10:35 pm

Jacula

Indeed it is, Bug. Incidentally, I see you have guinea pigs like I do. One of mine down died last week so down to 4 now.

10:35 pm

Jacula

No trees today, Herin.

10:35 pm

Bugsaw

How sad Jac. They can be the best therapy for a sad soul.

10:36 pm

Minveryork

Sorry about that. At least you still got four more still.

10:36 pm

Jacula

Bug - if your click on my profile and look at my flickr pics you can see Margaret (the gp who died)'s story.

10:37 pm

Sudo-Kid

any clues on al 4,4?

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

No use one it is better

10:38 pm

Minveryork

10:38 pm

Sudo-Kid

Hi :D thanks so much :D

10:38 pm

Minveryork

10:38 pm

Jacula

Min - yep! 4 guinea pigs, a pigeon murdering cat (he's brought 3 squabs home in past 2 days) and a teenaged step daughter, plus a 25-yr-old son still at home, and a 22-yr-old daughter who's in her own home not far away now, but still needs my help re cooking or sewing or how to get mysterious stains out of clothes.

10:39 pm

Sudo-Kid

how bout al 4,7?

10:39 pm

Bugsaw

Poor Margaret. She had a long year but she was a beauty wasn't she?

10:39 pm

Minveryork

PLUS your beloved Jac!How can you forget about him

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

Aww Poor Margaret. Also the cat maybe trying to feed you

10:40 pm

gapeach

May I please

10:40 pm

Minveryork

al 4/7 is friendly tv alien with extra letter near end.

10:40 pm

Jacula

Bug - she was rather lovely. Very vociferous though - when I trimmed her long hair to get the pee-laden sawdust balls out of it, or even just brushed or combed it, she screamed the place down. You'd think ever hair had a nerve ending it.

10:40 pm

gapeach

Well, I will start this over...May I please have a clue for ce5-12 the 1st? Thanks

10:41 pm

Minveryork

The ce 5/12 sounds like what coins are gapeach1066

10:42 pm

Minveryork

ce5/12: I burn ince*** to make the room smell better.

10:42 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, Min.

10:42 pm

Jacula

Min - I've not forgotten Beloved, but, if you read my blog (you are an invited member there I think?) you'll se I'm playing Nazareth's 1973 hit Bad Bad Bpy for him right now, re his little bit of cheating when he did his fig leaf photo.

10:42 pm

Minveryork

yw

10:44 pm

Minveryork

Wow! It only took my monkeys 3 hours to find a word

10:45 pm

Jacula

I thought he was 'swinging low' when I edited with a yellow pen... he'd taken the ripe fig (the onlyfig on the tree this year, in fact) and hung it below his natural accoutrements. Fooledme on the photo, which is why I censored it.

10:45 pm

harpjane

hello 63 to go

10:45 pm

gapeach

ep5-14 please....thanks

10:45 pm

Bugsaw

Jac we used to give our long hairs a bath. They loved it much more than I ever imagined they would and it was much easier to soak the crud out than brush it out. Margaret reminds me of me when I was little and my mother tried to braid my hair. It was horrific

10:45 pm

Jacula

Hi Harp.

10:45 pm

Minveryork

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Thanks much, Jacula.

10:47 pm

Bugsaw

Jac your beloved sounds like quite the character! I truly laffed out loud

10:47 pm

Jacula

I have one smooth-coated Abysinnian and 3 rough-coated left now, Bug.

10:48 pm

Jacula

Bug - he makes me truly LOL at leat once a day, which is partly why I love him so much. As I said in my blog.

10:49 pm

gapeach

sc5-14 the 2nd please...Thanks

10:49 pm

JenMO16

well, i am going to have to call it quits with 115 words in 2 and a half hours! Pretty easy!

10:49 pm

Bugsaw

There is nothing better than laughter to cure what ails you, as my Granny would say.

10:50 pm

Minveryork

I am done, but I did not get any fireworks.Got gyped

Minveryork

Goodby JenMO16! I will see you tomorrow in the chog

10:51 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Bugsaw on fireworks! Good for you!

10:52 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for your fireworks Jacula! Very kind of U!

10:52 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks for the company everyone. See you again in an hour.... :)

10:52 pm

gapeach

Thanks once again, Min.

10:52 pm

Minveryork

Oh yes! Good luck with your surgery JenMO16 & bye!

10:52 pm

Jacula

Jen - hope the surgery goes well. Back in the 60s, my Mum used to get the ganglions but had to wait or them to be 'ripe'. When they got big enough, she used to bash them on th greenhouse door frame.

10:52 pm

Minveryork

10:53 pm

gapeach

Good luch on the surgery, Jen. Sending good vibes to you.

10:53 pm

That se 4/4 word is an le 4/4 backward gapeach1066

10:57 pm

Jacula

Jen - then it's not 'ripe'. Once it's soft, sterilise a pin and let the fluid out.

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

bah somone do my assignment for me

10:59 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Min. I'm down to two.

10:59 pm

Minveryork

Go gapeach1066 go!

11:00 pm

Jacula

The size of the pin depends on the consistency of the content of the cy4. If it's clear liquid, a normal dressmaking pin will do. If it's the contistency of cream cheese, a larger egress point needs to be made, but must be sterile. The cy4 sac will still be ther to fill up again if agravated though.

11:02 pm

gapeach

te5-10 the 3rd please...I'm exhausted. Thanks

11:03 pm

gapeach

OMG, thanks, Min and Jacula. I couldn't have made it without y'all. Sweet dreams.

11:06 pm

Jacula

There's a modern equivalent now from Eastern Europe, but it's either men and women forced to work for less than the minimum wage or women and young girls forced to prositute themselves.

11:06 pm

Jacula

Well done gapeach.

11:06 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations gapeach1066 on fireworks! Hooray!

11:07 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye gapeach1066!I will see you tomorrow maybe

11:07 pm

Jacula

Oh, and may I just add that it's normally a 'fellow countryman' or their own that does that to them.

11:08 pm

Jacula

*of their own.

11:09 pm

Jacula

Excuse my cynicism, but having a bro-in-law (even and ex) who is a policeman opens my eyes at times.

11:09 pm

gapeach

Jacula, I've been trying to bring up your profile but have not had success. Think it's my computer...will keep trying.

11:10 pm

Jacula

gap - trying clearing your cache.

11:10 pm

gapeach

Please tell me how to do that, Jacula.

11:11 pm

Jacula

What browser are you using, gapeach? Firefox or IE?

11:12 pm

gapeach

I think it is still Mozilla-Firefox.

11:12 pm

Jacula

Okay - click on tools to your top left.

11:13 pm

Jacula

Then click on Clear Private Data - 8th down on list.

11:13 pm

Jacula

Then tick browsing history, cache and authenticated sessions.

11:14 pm

Jacula

Do you also have cc cleaner on your pc?

11:14 pm

gapeach

Jacula, I will have to let go of this page to do that. Let me try and I will come back here.

11:14 pm

Jacula

Don't click on cookies unless you;ve never done it before and tend to ask websites to 'remember you'.

11:15 pm

Jacula

Click on cookies too, then.

11:15 pm

Jacula

And then sign back into Babble.

11:16 pm

Jacula

I will wait, gapeach.

My son-in-law does photography as a hobby and I think it will eventually become a business. His website is: smflynn.com and the other is: flickr.com/photos/smflynn. He has some beautiful pictures and does quite well. They had a show last weekend in Mystic, CT. Then next will be in NYC in October. Thought y'all might like to see what he has done.

11:47 pm

gapeach

When you get on his first website go the Travel: Greece and you will see some great stuff, but look for one with a really odd green goard. That goard graced out table until it was no longer a great conversation piece but just really need to go in the trash can. Oh, well.
