jillibus

12:50 am

PAV3

fingernails, but only if you're going out...

12:50 am

Dippnall

he 5/22 - thought it was a proper noun

12:50 am

Kazozz

Julian I have a cupboard full of shoes..just in case you run out of things to polish !!!

12:50 am

J. C.

I don't usually wear nail varnish . . . anymore. :P

12:50 am

buffgirl71

'fest' is a word in my dictionary...I wonder why it isn't in Babble's dictionary...

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

nm found it he 5/22

12:50 am

dcseain

no, it's a unit of measure, not just a name, Dippnall

12:50 am

anike

TY for he 5 Dip

12:51 am

Just1Mar

ty got it

12:51 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . are you saying if all else fails, I could always be a shoe shiner, Karen? :P

12:51 am

dcseain

ENABLE is dubious at best, xuff girl

12:51 am

PAV3

but you'd be performing a one man act whilst polishing J.C.

12:51 am

PAV3

therefore you could conceivably charge more...

12:52 am

Kazozz

Julian, you are wayyyy too talented...what I think I'm saying is I'm too lazy to do them myself lol

12:52 am

Kazozz

PAV I like your way of thinking!

12:52 am

J. C.

Oh yes - now there's a plan, PAV! :P

12:52 am

PAV3

instead of sinner and a movie...polish and a show?

12:52 am

jillibus

my dad wore dancing shoes for swank parties in S'hai -- think they had buckles. He wore spats too, in the bad old days.

12:53 am

Kazozz

Julian I have the perfect shade of pink polish to go with that fabulous pink shirt that I want!!

12:53 am

rururocks

12:53 am

J. C.

J. C.

Too bad I already have THAT word. Ruru, couldn't you have said a word I didn't have yet? :P

12:55 am

dcseain

12:55 am

rururocks

1:20 am

jillibus

halfway passed

1:20 am

Atalante

it begins with C

1:21 am

saintfranny

ohhh no u Didn't ata!

1:22 am

Atalante

co, to be precise

1:22 am

Kazozz

wow ata i didn't think that word applied to men

1:22 am

J. C.

My goodness, yes - hat IS the word that fits you ever so perfectly, all right. Was thinking that the instant I saw it in the grid! How about that . . .

1:22 am

Atalante

this word applies definitely to men, and JC is full of it

1:22 am

Atalante

CO, JC. mind from gutter please

1:23 am

J. C.

Mine isn't the mind that's there.

1:23 am

Atalante

whatever. co5/16

1:24 am

saintfranny

well, when one only alludes to a "c" word - there's usually only one place to go

1:24 am

J. C.

Exactly, saintfranny - and that's precisely what she meant, believe me.

1:25 am

Kazozz

thats where I went as I was leaving for bed franny...oh well

1:25 am

Atalante

that's why I said co straight after saying c. duh!

1:26 am

saintfranny

i am just realizing the time - what are you brits doing up at such an ungodly hour on a sunday morning??

1:26 am

Kazozz

sorry Julian...didn't mean to start anything! its the meds I tell you! And now I really am gone!

1:26 am

J. C.

Yes, to cover up.

1:26 am

saintfranny

lol jc. nice try ata. ;)

1:26 am

J. C.

No Karen, no worries. :)

1:26 am

J. C.

Sleep well . . .

1:26 am

Atalante

no. I'm not that unsubtle.

1:26 am

Atalante

*dies laughing* knew you'd think that's what I was thinking though

1:27 am

J. C.

Was out until the wee hours, saintfranny - then unwinding with the grid and some tea.

1:27 am

J. C.

After how nasty you were to and about me on here, for absolutely NO reason? Yes, it WAS what you were thinking, as that's just how nasty your mind is.

1:27 am

J. C.

You're more than proven that.

1:28 am

Atalante

actually, no. oh dear. *rolls eyes*

1:28 am

Atalante

I'll get back to the grid. Thank you for proving me right though *amusement*

1:28 am

J. C.

Actually, yes.

1:28 am

J. C.

I think I'm more amused than you'll ever be. You've just proven what you are, all right . . .

1:29 am

saintfranny

oh my, has this all taken a turn for the worse? i thought it was all in jest

1:29 am

jillibus

Oh please

1:29 am

saintfranny

sorry - not up on my babble chat history - only pop off and on

1:30 am

J. C.

Sadly no, saintfranny - she got very nasty with me for absolutely no reason some time ago, and hasn't let go of it ever since, apparently. It's a 'crime' to some didn't you know, to be friendly and pleasant, and take a polite interest in those you converse with . . .

1:31 am

herinfernallady

JC PULL YOUR HEAD IN. From what i just read you just called Ata the Cu word and in my book that is NOT COOL. Ata did nothing to you

1:31 am

saintfranny

:( sorry to hear that. i've just been googling u after seeing your babies, and i myself am enchanted. people - chill out, sheesh.

1:33 am

J. C.

Oh grow up, herin - and bother reading through the chat archives to see the TRUTH of the matter, before you make such ludicrous ASSumptions of anyone you obviously do not begin to know very well, good grief.

1:33 am

jillibus

I saw no mention of cu -- all co

1:33 am

J. C.

Thank you, saingfranny . . . it is unfortunate, but that's life. Somem people apparently are that miserable.

1:33 am

J. C.

Erm, saintfranny - sorry! Excuse my typing.

1:34 am

J. C.

For your information, herin - it was Ata who started that, saying I was the 'C' word. You couldn't have been following anything very well.

1:34 am

J. C.

Erm - and 'some', that is. My typing's out the window again.

1:34 am

J. C.

Jilli, read back farther . . .

1:35 am

J. C.

That was a cover up, after she just said it was the 'C' word. And it was quite obvious what she meant . . .

1:35 am

saintfranny

i don't even know what the co word is, haven't monkeyed it yet

1:36 am

Just1Mar

c'mon peeps...chill out...this is supposed to be fun

1:36 am

jillibus

oh dear.

1:37 am

J. C.

And herin, if you truly believe herin 'did nothing' to me, then there's a lot you apparently aren't aware of. It's all in the chat archives . . .

1:38 am

herinfernallady

wonders how JC could possibly have time for Babble what with the fringe festival being on.

1:38 am

J. C.

At this hour, herin? Plenty of time . . .

1:38 am

saintfranny

wha??? there's Always time for babble herin! ;)

1:38 am

Just1Mar

ouch Herin

1:38 am

saintfranny

you should see how i watch the clock waiting for 1:00 every night :)

1:39 am

J. C.

I'm off to catch a little more sleep though - have fun.

1:39 am

jillibus

Hey, lay off JC !

1:39 am

saintfranny

nite jc. : / sleep well

1:40 am

Just1Mar

night JC or err morning~!

1:41 am

jillibus

my chat is lagging badly

1:42 am

Fauxmage

I know I am new here, and I don't chat much, but is all this personal stuff necessary? This is supposed to be a fun puzzle, not a place to needle others, is it not?

1:42 am

jillibus

and disappearing -- I did wish JC good sleeping but it vanished

1:42 am

Just1Mar

better the chat than your brain, jilli...as are some

1:42 am

jillibus

right, Laura

1:43 am

jillibus

my brain is laging badly too -- not seeing words at all

1:43 am

Fauxmage

Hi jilli. :o)

1:43 am

Atalante

sorry, faux, I just really wanted to see if he'd take the bait ... it's a long story

1:43 am

jillibus

*lagging

1:43 am

saintfranny

just as well jilli. this little haven sure can get shaken up some times! i know i've been guilty of it in the past too... have just seen faux's post - yes, correct - that was abnormal for here

1:44 am

rururocks

I don't understand ata .. why?

1:44 am

jillibus

good question, ruru

1:44 am

saintfranny

yes, since we were all here for this round, plz fill us in

1:45 am

Atalante

because I wanted to see if he'd fling himself into thinking I was utterly evil. And he did. *rolls eyes*

1:46 am

rururocks

and you are evil .. because?

1:47 am

Atalante

I was realising the other day that because a good few of you have decided he's ok, that I'd let bygones be bygones. He obviously doesn't, so I won't bother *shrug*

1:47 am

Just1Mar

ummm..is it a full moon tonight or something?

1:47 am

Fauxmage

Only half a moon so far. I just saw it. :p

1:47 am

Atalante

because omg I'd call him a cu4 in front of the world! Which I never ever would, I *hate* that word

1:48 am

rururocks

oh..

1:48 am

rururocks

I hate that word too

1:48 am

saintfranny

omg laura - have just seen you're in SF - i LUV it there! lived there from 97-99 - want to come backkkkk!

1:49 am

Atalante

me too. it's horrid. I don't think it's ever passed my lips

1:49 am

Fauxmage

Oh yeah saintfranny. Born and raised here.

1:49 am

rururocks

me too

1:49 am

Just1Mar

yes it's a horrible word but sometimes it's a very apt description of some people

1:49 am

saintfranny

pouting and jellus. ;)

1:50 am

rururocks

there are so many other better choices just...

1:50 am

saintfranny

it descirbes my next door neighbor just1mar ;)

1:51 am

rururocks

Has this been a long running feud kind of thing ata..I haven't ever seen JC cranky with anyone before

1:51 am

Just1Mar

lol franny...

1:51 am

herinfernallady

Ata what are you looking for? THe monogram thinygy?

1:51 am

Just1Mar

something about that word though, conveys a certain je ne sais quoi

1:52 am

jillibus

Je sais quoi -- it's just foul

1:52 am

Just1Mar

my point exactly jilli, and very apt to describe certain ummm people

1:53 am

Atalante

don't worry, herin, I found it :D About an hour ago!

1:53 am

jillibus

I would never use that word to describe anyone

1:53 am

Atalante

he had a very rough ride at the start of his babble life. a few of us were put off for life

1:53 am

Just1Mar

K i'm not getting involved in this as I have just been a spectator, not a participant

1:54 am

Fauxmage

I agree jilli. I don't like to see people even hinting at calling other Babblers such a name.

1:54 am

rururocks

oh..

1:54 am

rururocks

he always seems pleasant to me

1:54 am

Just1Mar

lap lap suck suck

1:55 am

rururocks

what does that mean just?

1:55 am

jillibus

Me too, ruru, and all I saw upon his arrival was people not believing he was who he was

1:55 am

Just1Mar

to me too ru...chatty for sure, but that's not a crime

1:55 am

Atalante

he's got better

1:55 am

Just1Mar

that means ru...we cannot have divergances of opinions...we must tow the line

1:56 am

saintfranny

care to give a rough estimate of the date ata - for the archives?

1:56 am

Atalante

ermmmm *thinks8

1:56 am

rururocks

okay just thanks I get it

1:56 am

jillibus

Atalante

Just1Mar

2:00 am

saintfranny

2:01 am

jaianniah

Well, nite-nite, jili!

2:01 am

PAV3

27 left for me...

2:01 am

rururocks

I think I have bugged some people over time

2:01 am

herinfernallady

Oh i just got to watch the early Flinstons non pc

2:02 am

rururocks

I think if you chat enough on this game someone sooner or later takes something wrong

2:02 am

jaianniah

Yeah..we had an argument this afternoon...

2:03 am

Just1Mar

maybe but typos shouldn't count:)

2:03 am

Atalante

absolutely ruru

2:03 am

rururocks

jilli is just the professor of grammar

2:03 am

Just1Mar

well sigh I wish I was perfect but alas I'm just human

2:04 am

rururocks

I keep pissing off bugsaw one way or the other

2:04 am

herinfernallady

I am perfect in every unperfect way

2:04 am

rururocks

I think she finds my sick humor offensive..

2:04 am

Just1Mar

lol..well someone will always piss on someone...it's just human nature...take it with a grain of salt

2:05 am

rururocks

you are perfect herin.. don't ever change

2:05 am

Atalante

typos are typos. we can all read what people mean

2:05 am

Just1Mar

*off* not on oopps my bad

2:06 am

Atalante

as dc / br pointed out earlier, we don't even read every letter, just the sense of the word

2:06 am

Just1Mar

I know ata...sometimes the fingers fly faster than the brain

2:07 am

Just1Mar

including punctuation marks where they may not be indicated sigh

2:07 am

jaianniah

I have dysphasia, and find it difficult to touch type- I hunt and peck realy fast, but I make thousands of mistakes. Oh, well, no9body's perfect LOL!

2:08 am

rururocks

what is dysphasia?

2:08 am

jillibus

Sorry, I have to say this. I don't understand why people are antagonistic to JC. He has always been gentle and polite here. From what I saw from the beginning of his time here, there was a group which thought he was an impostor and gave him a hard time. He did nothing to deserve that.

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Awwwwwwww Ru.

2:08 am

Just1Mar

lol...my philosophy is to just live and let live...

2:08 am

Atalante

actually, yes he did jilli

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Very creepy stalking antics

2:09 am

Just1Mar

huhhh???

2:09 am

Atalante

he had at least 2 babblers in tears in real life and swearing never to come back to babble

2:09 am

jaianniah

It is like dyslexia of the body...my brain says, "Type an "E", and my body types an "O"...

2:09 am

jillibus

And I apologise for my fussiness about language. I make lots of mistakes and typos too.

2:09 am

Just1Mar

really? ata?

2:09 am

rururocks

oh really jai.. how weird

2:10 am

Atalante

yes, really *sigh* people forget that

2:10 am

Just1Mar

aww jilli...you're so forgiven sweet lady :)

2:10 am

jillibus

What did I miss, then, ata? Email me please. The address is in my bio -- I think you know.

2:10 am

herinfernallady

Jai I do that with some words. Its all good

2:10 am

rururocks

I like it when you correct my french jilli

2:10 am

jaianniah

I was once driven crazy by a sign in front of a farm that read, "Bunny's and Rabbit's for sale". Sigh.

2:10 am

Just1Mar

I guess I never heard anything about that Ata but then, I'm certainly not in the "loop" so what do I know

2:11 am

rururocks

me neither.. he has always been nice to me

2:11 am

jaianniah

There was a time when I got chased off of here...

2:12 am

Atalante

it wasn't pleasant for a good while for a lot of people. but he has calmed down since then

2:12 am

Just1Mar

really jain? geez why?

2:12 am

Bugsaw

Hi everyone. Just got here and read that chat. Ruru, I love your sick humour most of the time. There was only once when I called you on something and, because you could just read the words without hearing the tone, you kept thinking I was really mad. Honestly, there is no-one on this site that I don't enjoy! Please accept my heartfelt apologies!!! Please!

2:12 am

herinfernallady

Jai I believe that you were one of the first people that was nice to me when I first played

2:12 am

jillibus

And this took place in Babbalonia, ata? Why did I not see it? I'm here all the time.

2:13 am

Just1Mar

I think he just joined recently, no? like ummm springtime this year?

2:13 am

jaianniah

Some people did not like me, and thought I cheated because I got done with the grids pretty fast. I had to quit Babble.

2:13 am

herinfernallady

HI Bug

2:13 am

Atalante

noooo idea, but part was off babble, which is why things started to get a bit creepy

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Jai. I remember when i first signed up you said hi to me

2:13 am

rururocks

thanks bugs..

2:13 am

jaianniah

Aw, TY herin. It just is better to be nice!

2:14 am

Just1Mar

cheated? only way to cheat is to access a grid solving program and what's the point of that??

2:14 am

jillibus

jai, there is no cheating here! We all do as we like -- it's not competitive which is why I like it.

2:15 am

Atalante

I'm not going to dig the specifics of the past, it's not fair, jilli. But a few people were truly worried and creeped out by his behaviour, and whenever he was asked about it, he'd just deny everything and say we were the bad ones and that he had his spies out for what we would say about him. I'm sure he'll tell you something completely different.

2:15 am

I dunno. But they started making up all the rules about cluing and stuff, and I just had to stop playing for a while. Dr. God defended me, but it did not matter.

But you don't mind calling JC creepy behind his back in this chat Atalante? Is that fair to anyone? Stuff that goes on offsite should stay there, especially when it's all hearsay.

plus i dropped the sugar bowl, sugar everywhere, the camwalker is the devil's invention!!!!

2:57 am

grannyrose

like who?

2:59 am

lynxxx

Poor love, stop trying to do everything yourself. Take some painkillers and settle yourself in for a nice sitdown

3:00 am

grannyrose

trying to, lyn. i'm feeling pretty down. could cry at the drop of a hat. i hate it when my body lets me down.

3:01 am

joshuavorbis

i drop stuff all the time, nothing to blame but my clumsy nature

3:02 am

grannyrose

* weak smile* thanx josh

3:02 am

Geez...look what you just went through (again!)...have a good cry, it'll get it out of your system...besides you know we all have down days like this even when we are well. You'll get there Rose

sugar can be replaced very easily, it's not the end of the world

3:04 am

*sigh * thanx lyn. tomorrow i'll probably be on topof the world. guess the bad night doesn't help any

3:04 am

grannyrose

josh, it frustrates me when something so silly happens

3:04 am

lynxxx

nor the miserable weather and the cold

3:05 am

joshuavorbis

i know something about that as well - you just have to try to see the small frustrations for what they are

3:06 am

grannyrose

ahhhh. where would i be without you guys?

3:06 am

lynxxx

lol, giving your husband an earful probably

3:07 am

grannyrose

he's already ducking for cover * grin *

3:07 am

Sally-catlover

granny, you have it all wrong. It's /his/ fault you dropped the sugar. Always!

3:07 am

Bugsaw

I read somewhere that every tear is a prayer. You don't have to say anything, just let them out and things will start to get easier. The idea works for me so I can cry sometime without guilt. I love having no guilt

isn't it 1:30 where you are bugs?

3:27 am

Sally-catlover

You're in the USA aren't you Kate?

3:28 am

Bugsaw

Did you get the email? I felt like I had been chastized by someone for sending it to you without you being a pro, but if I recall you have good reasons for not going pro just yet. I am sure you will.

3:28 am

Sally-catlover

Just seen yoiur icon Bugs. lol

3:28 am

i'm in canada....that's the big red country that sits on top of u.s.a. ha ha

morning peoples Hope we are all well....smaller grid?

3:30 am

Bugsaw

Sally the icon goes with yesterday when I said my favouriteword was Thisbe. For some reason the picture of the toilet wont show up no matter how many times I refresh. Perhaps I can just leave this and confuse people

3:31 am

redturtlehead

bugs, I see a toilet...

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

Well I see the picture of the toilet - in the icon and when I look at your profile!

3:31 am

TraderKate

got your e-mail bugs. i do thank you for it. for what its worth the other person who requested same day as me got theirs a week ago...they weren't pro either

3:31 am

TraderKate

refresh guys

3:31 am

Bugsaw

Must be me being tired then.

3:32 am

redturtlehead

lickety sent me expert when I wasnt pro, I dont think its as big a deal as some would like to make it.

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

I have expert but find it slow. Don't use it.

3:32 am

grannyrose

whoot! and i'm done!

3:32 am

TraderKate

just getting a little annoyed with greek chorus of "go pro"...

3:33 am

Bugsaw

I am not one who takes things seriously here. There are many people whom I consider to be rule-followers. I am a common sense followers

3:33 am

TraderKate

sally, lots swear by it ..say it speeds things up a lot

3:34 am

TraderKate

say amen to common sense brother!

3:34 am

redturtlehead

congratulations Granny!!!!!

3:34 am

TraderKate

grannyrose fireworked!!! YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!

3:34 am

Bugsaw

I have only had it for a little while and I like having the list on the same page as the grid. It helps me notice when I have forgotten to plural things quicker.

3:34 am

Bugsaw

Well done Granny. That was worth a bowl of sugar don't you think?

3:34 am

grannyrose

((((( red ))))) haven't seen you in a coon's age. how are you?

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

Having see how pro works, I have my own way of working if and when I use a list. Especially when I start a grid, I put words in fast, and with pro I have to wait for each one to appear.

3:35 am

redturtlehead

granny, I'm good, I'm up to get ready to run this morning....

3:35 am

redturtlehead

And how are you?

3:35 am

TraderKate

bet ankle doesn't hurt so much now does it? <endorphins coursing through granny' body>

3:35 am

grannyrose

thanx kate and bugs, you made me smile again

3:36 am

grannyrose

red, had an ankle fusion 9 days ago, still giving me hell

3:36 am

redturtlehead

Oh Granny, I am sorry, thats not really a fun thing. ope it is healing well...

3:36 am

Bugsaw

I agree with that Sally. I use it more towards the end when I am going bald pulling my hair out over the ones I have no idea are words, or are super fish words.

3:37 am

TraderKate

that's the bourbon., gran r.

3:37 am

TraderKate

:-)
big silly grin

3:37 am

grannyrose

and, yes, i feel a lot better with 2 endone and 2 paracetamol on board....and a couple of bourbons

3:38 am

redturtlehead

Good. to feel good. what on earth is the US version of endone?

3:39 am

grannyrose

oral morphine, generic name oxycodone

3:40 am

redturtlehead

Oh Oxycodone, its not actually morphine at all, but its own thing.

3:41 am

redturtlehead

Do they not want you to take any ibuprofen to help reduce swelling?

3:41 am

TraderKate

bugs - did download will tackle it later today and see if i can wrangle it into submission...have to read all the stuff with it....probably have to shut down and reboot....said something about "open with target" diudn't see that on any of my drop downs...man-yan-a

3:41 am

grannyrose

oh, thanx red. i thought it was synthetic morphine. it supposed to work the same as morphine

3:42 am

Bugsaw

I didn't know what that meant so it just went onto the desktop which is ok.

3:42 am

redturtlehead

It does work really well for pain, and in the same way as morphine would.

3:42 am

redturtlehead

so it might as well be morphine.

3:43 am

TraderKate

paracet. (tylenol) and endone? seems redundant

3:43 am

grannyrose

over here, red, the ortho surgeons don't seem to like it that much. they say it causes to much post-op bleeding

3:43 am

redturtlehead

I can see that as well granny.

3:43 am

redturtlehead

lain oxycodone trader, will not have tylenol in it.

3:44 am

grannyrose

kate, both painkillers work on different pathways for analgesic effect

3:44 am

redturtlehead

err plain.

3:44 am

TraderKate

i have it in downloads right now and my documents. don't know if it belongs there but...i'll get it eventually

3:45 am

Bugsaw

I am tired now so I will be off. Happy searching. Nite

3:45 am

redturtlehead

Good night bugs. I am soon to go back to bed for an hour as well. then the horrible run is coming up. today I dread it.

3:46 am

TraderKate

understand...just thought suggest. of ibupro. might have nbeen better choice...as you said reduce swelling + anal.?

3:46 am

TraderKate

gn bugs, thanks again

3:46 am

grannyrose

in some things, australia is waaay behind the USA. still trying to get some anaesthetists to understand that multi-modal analgesia is the way to go!

3:58 am

grannyrose

kate, when the boys were younger, and still at school, i baked every saturday, used to make at least 6 dozen cookies, and 4 cakes to fill the lunch boxes during the week ahead.

3:58 am

TraderKate

good grief...perhaps i should have a bit of that bourbon...can't type tonight anyway!

3:59 am

TraderKate

granny rose, would you like to adopt me?

3:59 am

grannyrose

needless to say, a lot us4 to disappear as i took them out of the oven

4:01 am

grannyrose

you're doing well, kate, considering the time it is over there

4:01 am

TraderKate

ahhh the magical disappearing cookie trick. i knoe it well. many times i had to slap younger brother's hand with spatula...alwaqys burning himself with purloined cookies!

4:02 am

TraderKate

been sleeping rather strangely lately...sleeping in bits, up at night, sleep in day...very odd

4:02 am

grannyrose

* giggle* hubby wasn't much better than the kids

4:02 am

TraderKate

do better when i type with 1 or 2 fingers

4:02 am

grannyrose

kate, something on your mind?

4:03 am

TraderKate

you only burn your tongue on melty choc. chip once...you learn!

4:03 am

TraderKate

you only burn your tongue on melty choc. chip once...you learn!

4:04 am

TraderKate

weight of the world on shoulders grenny r. thanks...i come here to escape reality for a while...

4:04 am

grannyrose

oh, kate. want to share?

4:06 am

grannyrose

if you prefer, email me. two ears, two eyes, no waiting

4:06 am

TraderKate

it's okay, but thank you for the offer, it really is appreciated. sometimes talking doesn't help. love to come here to forget for a bit, oimmerse myself in words, listen toi other people talk. sometimes the best cure for feeling sorry for yourself is to be sorry for someone else and try to help

4:07 am

grannyrose

understand, kate. the offer still stands

4:08 am

TraderKate

i may take you up on that some time granny r, it truly is appreciated..you are very kind

4:09 am

TraderKate

do you keep your foot up when you can? does it help?

4:11 am

TraderKate

going to make a cuppa, bbs

4:12 am

grannyrose

kate, have a leg elevator on the wheelchair, and yes it does help, but sometimes the ankle burns, no infection, just the aftermath of the surgery

4:13 am

TraderKate

confused pain receptors? wouls ice help the "burning"?

4:15 am

TraderKate

seem to recall you need the "walker"- can't remember what you called it... to go from w. chair to bed?

4:15 am

grannyrose

kate, please put the word babble in your email, that way i can differentiate it form other emails. ice packs definitely help, ut have to wait for hubby to come home, also having difficulty reaching the affected ankle

4:16 am

TraderKate

too bad you weren

4:16 am

TraderKate

'sorry...

4:16 am

grannyrose

kate, a camwalker is a huge boot/splint, goes to my knee, it keeps my foot at the correct angle ( to prevent foot-drop)

4:17 am

TraderKate

too bad you weren't more mobile, putting foot up higher than heart would help a lot...hip level is not much help, but better than nothing

4:18 am

grannyrose

i am allowed to remove it when in bed, but especially in the evening it seems to increase the pain

4:18 am

TraderKate

oh camwalker...thought you were talking about a 4-footed metal frame that surrounds you front and sides , hold with both hands...know what i mean?

4:19 am

grannyrose

stillearly days, and the foot and ankle are quite swollen, am wearing compression bandage

4:19 am

TraderKate

probably because swelling increases through day as you are vertical

4:19 am

grannyrose

* giggle * yes, kate, have one of those. it helps with access to shower, bed etc.

4:20 am

TraderKate

as long as there is always improvement, or at least no worse....it's good news! just have to let nature take its course

4:21 am

grannyrose

well sort of vertical, not allowed to weight-bear for another 2 weeks ( i hope ) depends on the x-ray

4:21 am

TraderKate

if you could use walker to lie on sofa with foot up 10 min every hour would probably help a lot

4:21 am

grannyrose

darling kate, you make everything seem so much better. thank-you so much

4:22 am

TraderKate

don't know about that, but am glad to offer my unsolicited opinions where ever i go <cheeky grin>

4:23 am

Norma

Good morning babblers ... is there a list posted anywhere yet ;0)

4:23 am

grannyrose

problem, kate. if i lie/sit on couch, i'll go to sleep( all those painkillers ), and, in case you hadn't realised, i'm a very stubborn and independent person.

4:23 am

ABCDE

I'm back for a moment and looking for the e in the top line, I have the 4/7. Any help?

4:23 am

TraderKate

ruru put one in his profile...is it still available?

4:24 am

Norma

I will go back on the log and see thanks

4:24 am

TraderKate

napping is good for you gran, but independance much more important

4:24 am

grannyrose

abc, es5/12

4:25 am

ABCDE

ty!

4:25 am

TraderKate

abc etc....ef, er, or es?

4:25 am

TraderKate

gonna call you quick-draw rose!

4:26 am

grannyrose

snap, kate

4:27 am

ABCDE

granny, is this a common word?

4:27 am

TraderKate

one more thing gran... do you take extra calcium, vit. d. and e...may help speed mending bones.

4:28 am

TraderKate

also glucosamine/chondroitin/msm in combo or alone...will really help after a while for any joint problems

4:28 am

ABCDE

finally got it!

4:29 am

TraderKate

"s" a lot of 'em....

4:30 am

TraderKate

finished abc?

4:31 am

grannyrose

kate, have been on that for years. it did cure the arthritis in most of my joints. this ankle fusion was for a stress fracture.

4:33 am

TraderKate

well, you're ahead of the game the...add extra calcium with d fir sure, if you smoke double your vit. c intake, smokers need twice as much

4:33 am

grannyrose

had surgery last year, repair of fracture etc, but the post-tibialis tendon went slack, like cheap elastic, the bones had nothing to hold them in position

4:34 am

grannyrose

hmmmm.. vit c..hadn't thought of that, will start as soon as i can. good pick up!

4:35 am

grannyrose

kate, you a nurse , as well?

4:36 am

TraderKate

lots of physio to get that snapping back eh? it's amazing how quickly we lose springiness in tendons/sinews and mass in muscle...and howLONG it takes ti come back takes FOREVER

4:38 am

TraderKate

not a nurse. not even medical...everything i know i learned from "house". just joking...mother nurse...unckle a dr. used to help them study for exams...picked up some by7 osmosis

4:39 am

TraderKate

re: muscle recovery, that's personal experience and lots of long chaqts with physiotherapist...pumping for info

4:39 am

grannyrose

*smile * still good for someone else to think for you.

4:57 am

TraderKate

rapid fire zantac 150's 2 at a time as often as you notice symptoms....when it seeems a little better you can reduce frequency or use 75's in middle of day...keep using 150's first and last of day..

4:58 am

crosshair

4:58 am

crosshair

well at least the bacon vodka lol

4:59 am

TraderKate

easy on the grease, booze caffeine if u csn't resist have something bland with it...plain potatoes, bread, crackers. no coffee or tea or coke without at least crackers...always keep something in tummy

4:59 am

crosshair

not to worry ill get trained yet;)

4:59 am

TraderKate

easy on acid like juice and i found jello very hard to take easy on fruit especially fresh , try canned instead

5:00 am

TraderKate

watermelon good though

5:00 am

TraderKate

going back to read what you've written...type with head dowm...bbs

5:00 am

crosshair

can i dose the mellon with vodka?*evil grin*

5:03 am

TraderKate

vodka watermelon is a go crossy...in moderation...WITH CRACKERS though - not ritz, "premium plus" soda crackers, plain goldfish good- lower fat

5:03 am

crosshair

ty for all advice kate,i actually do know the rules,just bad at following

5:03 am

TraderKate

yes, easy on bacon...perhaps in a little crumbled in scrambled eggs?

5:04 am

TraderKate

you sleep propped up?

5:04 am

crosshair

oh yea head of bed up and 4 pillows

5:04 am

TraderKate

5:07 am

TraderKate

try2 in am, 1 1/2 hr before lunch, 1 1/2 hr. before dinner and 2 more at bed time...keep some crackers at bedside...don't let tummy be totally empty

5:08 am

TraderKate

t. bacon sounds like a travesty....but would be less fat/salt?

5:08 am

Eva

good morning. Sorry to chime in in the middle, but I also found something on an alternative site, which i was very sceptical about, but have found tremendously useful, which is a teaspoon of pure liquid honey. At times I can use it instead of the zantac. Also exercise-walking, is really important for me. and no dairy, which is my hardest challenge.

5:09 am

TraderKate

no dairy! poor thing!

5:09 am

TraderKate

glad to have another voice to spin crossy's head around...

5:10 am

Eva

dairy is one of the main culprits for reflux. Also chocolate - but i can get away with small amounts of chocolate if not eaten at night.

5:10 am

crosshair

lees fat,more salt,cant really win

5:10 am

crosshair

no dairy???gasp!!!!

5:10 am

TraderKate

poor crossy - good points from eva

5:11 am

TraderKate

honey is practically magic antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti

5:11 am

TraderKate

oops...

5:12 am

crosshair

use honey im my tea already;))

5:13 am

TraderKate

sorry, brain cramp...also anti ?....great to put on sores to clean, prevent infection and speed healing...remember that when in woods with no first aid kit

5:13 am

Eva

i know. But anything you read about reflux will mention dairy as problematic. And if i cut dairy out (except for some really good parmesano reggiano which I use in moderation) and walk, and eat almost no chocolate, and no caffeine, and of course nothing greasy or fatty, and no popcorn or peanuts, and am moderate in everything else, then i sometimes actually don't have to take the meds. And of course have the head of my bed elevated and don't eat anything for 3 hours before going to bed. use the honey by itself.

5:14 am

TraderKate

be good to coat tummy too < big smile> you aren't much for choc r u?

5:14 am

crosshair

sounds like the right thing eva,but a bullet may be easier;/

5:14 am

crosshair

nope dont eat much choc

5:15 am

TraderKate

we sound awful...life practically isn't worth living...(haha)

5:15 am

TraderKate

poor crossy...

5:15 am

crosshair

ahh..ole zantec is starting to work..sigh;)

5:15 am

Eva

I know. and I go through periods where I do just fine and then lose it. But the fact is that feeling good is a great reward.

5:16 am

crosshair

so no,bacon,no beer,no dairy,no booze,no table dancers...oops wait..erase that last,no coffee.....

5:16 am

Eva

I think the table dancers would be just fine and might take your mind off missing the other stuff

5:16 am

TraderKate

you are very correct eva, but following rules not one of crossy's fortes..baby steps...we're trying to wean him off his pound of bacon a day habit LOL

5:17 am

crosshair

lol you can tell wife is still in bed hehe

5:17 am

Eva

how about substituting love making for bacon?

5:18 am

crosshair

mmm maybe i can get her to use bacon scented perfume....

5:18 am

TraderKate

have a little vodka watermelon with your dancer as treat...just at least add some bread/crackers

5:18 am

Eva

seeing that in print looks very weird

5:18 am

TraderKate

LMAO crossy ROFL

5:20 am

5:20 am

5:20 am

Eva

I'm writing this as much for myself as for you Crossy. Was doing really well after gall bladder surgery, lost lots of weight, exercising, eating right, and then had a guest for 3 weeks who loves eating as much as i do and now have to get back into some sort of sane regimen.

sounds delicious eva. wouldn't have thought of garlic/ m.syrup! how does it change poultry?

5:46 am

Eva

you can baste with it, or take boneless chicken breast, or turkey cutlets and brush with maple syrup before dipping in herbed bread crumbs, or mix with some mustard and use as a sauce.

5:46 am

Eva

in general I like sweet with savory-garlic and sweet being one of my favorites.

5:47 am

TraderKate

ooh yummers. have made roasted root veg with syrup and balsamic..

5:48 am

Eva

living in vermont one has to find uses for syrup or be considered a heretic

5:49 am

Eva

have also done grilled polenta drizzled with olive oil, syrup, garlic and topped with goat cheese.

5:50 am

TraderKate

us too, sort of national icon...<whispers-prefer decent quality table syrup for fr. toast/pancakes, real thing too sweet regardless of grade>

5:51 am

Eva

where are you kate?

5:51 am

TraderKate

the polenta sounds good....needs something to jazz it up, it's so bland

5:51 am

Eva

won't tell anyone kate

5:52 am

Eva

lots and lots of granulated garlic!

5:52 am

TraderKate

look up....look waaay up, (and a little to your left)

and I don't ski. I'll get chased out of town one day

5:53 am

TraderKate

had a great great aunt in vermont

5:53 am

Eva

I do snowshoe, but only to reach the bird feeder

5:54 am

TraderKate

don't ski either-bunny hill queen, but oh the apres ski is fun

5:54 am

Eva

do they let you do apres ski without the skiing?

5:54 am

TraderKate

darn birds...pain in the neck in 5 foot snow...

5:55 am

TraderKate

sometimes even befre the skiing

5:55 am

Eva

the problem is the deer and squirrels who can empty the feeders rapidly. But I do love seeing them all out there in the dead of winter

5:55 am

TraderKate

waqlk around in a cute ski suit...it's just assumed you belong there

5:57 am

Eva

I have worked out a method though-bird seed in backpack, snowshoes and poles - bird feeder is only around the back of the house, but in mid winter it is quite a feat to get there and back. the idea of wearing a ski suit in public is only slightly less alarming than a bathing suit

5:57 am

grannyrose

okay, my last act of kindness for tonight. have posted the stats on babanon. enjoy. hugs and kisses to all. see you at the flip

5:57 am

TraderKate

solved the squirrels by feeding them in a more accessible place, thewy usually go where it's easiest. deer is a bit trickier, can you put feed corn or hay further away - gets expensive though

5:58 am

Eva

It's against the law to purposefully feed the deer hear - and if I feed the squirrels closer to the house they get the idea that IN the house would be even better.

5:58 am

TraderKate

thsank you for your company granny rose, it haqs been a pleasure

5:58 am

Eva

here, not hear

TraderKate

haven't even looked for a word in 2 hours, sigh.....am a slacker

6:02 am

TraderKate

eva what's the matter with squirrels in the house?

6:03 am

Eva

aside from massive damage to property. fires created by cut wires, dead electrocuted squirrels trapped behind walls you mean?

6:04 am

TraderKate

yes.

6:04 am

Eva

not much

6:05 am

TraderKate

squirrels are tons of fun. they scamper in and out of here all day long. draw yhe line at sleep overs though...

6:06 am

Eva

how do you uninvite them at night?

6:06 am

Eva

okay-time to motivate myself to walk. But it's still foggy out there and that always adds a bit of risk factor to walking on the road

6:06 am

TraderKate

tell them it's time to go, they don't usually over-stay their welcome

6:07 am

Eva

you squirrels are obviously of an entirely different ilk than ours.

6:07 am

Eva

see you later

6:07 am

TraderKate

did have one mama that made a nest behind desk...but she left when encouraged

6:08 am

TraderKate

7:14 am

Wolvie

are you on a DSL or cable? Sometimes you just have to unplug the modem and let it rest for at least 2 minutes. Of course you probably did that in the maintenance stuff

7:14 am

Anniebrook

7:20 am

suefrad625

BR do you have a wireless hub or a hub at all attached to the modem?

7:20 am

suefrad625

phantom: custard

7:20 am

Wolvie

router was my next guess. ;-)

7:21 am

TraderKate

list posted in babblers anonymous (general) and
http://www.playbabble.com/profile_
mini.php?id=35870

7:21 am

o-o

I have wireless, but no network

7:22 am

TraderKate

a list also in FMitch's profile

7:22 am

suefrad625

wireless is the network, is your wireless secured

7:22 am

suefrad625

with WEP or Hidden or anything?

7:23 am

Wolvie

he could just need to shut everything down - unplug router, modem, then re - up.

7:23 am

TraderKate

are you very far along jacq?

7:23 am

o-o

I have no idea what you are talking about

7:23 am

jacq

i have 57 left kate

7:23 am

suefrad625

true wolv

7:24 am

o-o

did that

7:24 am

Wolvie

have you ever just unplugged the router and modem from your computer and each other, BR?

7:24 am

suefrad625

BR, wireless is accessable to anyone in the area of up to a mile, if you are not secured, then you may have people taking up your bandwidth

7:25 am

Wolvie

good thought sue

7:25 am

suefrad625

like a highway BR, if there are many cars, it goes slower. Also, they could be stealing your data.

7:25 am

o-o

I understand that

7:25 am

Wolvie

oh okay BR - was just trying the simple stuff first. :-)

7:25 am

suefrad625

You probably need to go to your address line and type 192.198.1.1 and change your security settings

7:26 am

suefrad625

if you set a WEP key to your phone number then you can secure the network.

7:26 am

jacq

BR, if you run your mouse over the icon showing you're online, it shows you which network you are connected to, a small window appears and you click on it

7:26 am

suefrad625

it is all in your router manual

7:27 am

o-o

I have a card ...

7:27 am

jacq

have you rebooted your router?

7:27 am

o-o

I have no router

7:28 am

suefrad625

I agree with everyone about the reboot, but PLEASE check into having someone see if you are secure.

7:28 am

suefrad625

yes BR you have a router, it is what makes it wireless

7:28 am

jacq

how do you connect with no router?

7:28 am

Wolvie

ahh. a wireless card.

7:29 am

jacq

ok

7:29 am

Wolvie

those things can be pitas/

7:29 am

o-o

I have gone to sites that check connection speed

7:29 am

Wolvie

what do they say?

7:30 am

o-o

my speeds are withing the limits for the card

7:30 am

Wolvie

well - you have built up a bulk head somewhere that needs to be cleared up is my guess

7:30 am

Wolvie

are you on a lap top?

7:31 am

suefrad625

BR, does it happen all the time, or at certain times

7:31 am

o-o

no

7:31 am

o-o

no laptop and it happens all the time

7:31 am

jacq

have you cleared all your cookies etc?

7:32 am

suefrad625

hey, have you ever gone into the internet Tools, Internet Options, Delete?

7:32 am

Wolvie

a desk top. okay - PC I take it, not mac. what op sys are you running?

7:32 am

o-o

I have done the maintenance

7:32 am

o-o

xp home

7:33 am

Wolvie

all the updates and patches are loaded?

7:33 am

o-o

yep

7:33 am

o-o

the wireless people tell me they have provided what I am paying for

7:34 am

o-o

I think my hard drive is going bad

7:34 am

Wolvie

have you run a registry cleaner?

7:34 am

Wolvie

I'm betting your jam is there if you have not

7:34 am

Atalante

download something called Tune-Up Utilities, it's the absolute best, you get a 30 day trial. Blitz your PC with that

7:35 am

jacq

BR, i use CCleaner (formerly crap cleaner) it has a reg cleaner built in, try that

7:35 am

suefrad625

wait Wolvie, those things can kill the computer

7:35 am

o-o

use it

7:36 am

suefrad625

BR if somone is piggy backing on your wireless, then they can also get all the data from your computer.

7:36 am

Wolvie

well, I used one when I had a PC sue - worked wonders.

7:36 am

o-o

I am aware of that, sue ...

7:36 am

Wolvie

I don't think it's his wireless if his speed check is coming up good

7:37 am

suefrad625

does anyone have the co6?

7:37 am

Atalante

regularly ;)

7:37 am

suefrad625

BR, have you rebooted the computer lately?

7:38 am

Atalante

actually thats not true, I'm married

7:38 am

o-o

what is lately? withing the last hour

7:38 am

suefrad625

these days we leave everything on

7:38 am

Wolvie

well, that would qualify. ;-0

7:38 am

suefrad625

within the last day or so

7:39 am

suefrad625

when things are going bonkers for me, I unplug the whole computer desk

7:39 am

o-o

I shut down more than once a day

7:39 am

Atalante

defrag the disk, clean the disk, run tune-up utilities of some sort

7:39 am

suefrad625

wow

7:39 am

o-o

I have, Atalante

7:39 am

Atalante

hmmm!

7:40 am

jacq

have you checked for errors on your hard drive?

7:40 am

suefrad625

I have been a tech for twenty years, and I would back the data up, and wipe the thing

7:40 am

o-o

yes

7:40 am

suefrad625

sometime you have to get a new wheel instead of trying to patch it

7:40 am

jacq

i am inclined to agree with sue, back-up, wipe reinstall after running scans to check for nasties

7:41 am

Wolvie

well that would certainly work

7:41 am

o-o

that is what I was thinking ... I have reformatted many times

7:41 am

suefrad625

ok, the co's are hurting my feelings

7:41 am

o-o

my system is almost as old as I am

7:41 am

suefrad625

I have the Pin, but that is it

7:41 am

suefrad625

argggggg

7:41 am

Wolvie

go for it BR - your issue sounds like the puter is ready

7:42 am

suefrad625

do you know how much RAM you have?

7:42 am

o-o

$125 back to school bargain

7:42 am

jacq

i have 3 co's baby bed, and something liked to cudeness or lack of manners

7:42 am

o-o

512

7:42 am

suefrad625

well, that explains it

7:42 am

jacq

BR thats tiny, that may be your issue

7:42 am

suefrad625

you need to beef it up and you will have a great computer

7:43 am

Wolvie

yes

7:43 am

suefrad625

you are trying to stick ten pounds of crap in a five pound bag

7:43 am

jacq

i have spare ram here, but i would need to know what you have just now

7:43 am

o-o

it is as much as the computer will take

7:43 am

suefrad625

computer are really cheap now because of school starting, I saw one for 395

7:43 am

jacq

not necessarily, have you opened it and seen if there are more slots on the motherboard?

7:44 am

o-o

Yes

7:44 am

suefrad625

it is not the slots, it is the motherbd capacity

7:44 am

jacq

i have spare motherboards too, but they may not work with your other hardware if it's really old

7:44 am

Wolvie

there has to be... wow. that is awful.

7:44 am

suefrad625

you prob just need to pull the existing and put in one gig moduals

7:44 am

o-o

two months ago, my puter wizzed along

7:45 am

jacq

if he had slots sue, it would be a good indicator it could take more

7:45 am

suefrad625

yes Jacq

7:45 am

jacq

can't tell unless we could look at it properly

7:45 am

suefrad625

but older computers only had two slots

7:45 am

jacq

nods

7:46 am

jacq

i did a rebuiolt recently and the difference was amazing

7:46 am

Wolvie

well - 2 months is an odd time frame - I think he should try the wipe and reinstall

7:46 am

TraderKate

thinking of signing up for lead pencil club....am luddite at heart. all this info is scaring me witless

7:46 am

jacq

someplaces do sell-offs of older motherboards BR it might be worth your while to see if you can get a bundle deal with the cards etc

7:47 am

jacq

i agree wolvie

7:47 am

Wolvie

his first instinct was the best - should trust BR by now. ;-)

7:48 am

jacq

nods

7:48 am

o-o

jacq, I paid $125 for this one ... if I buy anything if will be a different computer

7:49 am

jacq

i agree BR, but try reformatting again and see how it goes

7:49 am

o-o

thanks for the troubleshooting .. very good advice

7:49 am

jacq

if you lived closer you could have had one of the ones i have lying about here

7:50 am

o-o

I have wanted to build my own ... maybe some day

Scrabbler, are you still with headache?

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Yes, red, thinking about an ED visit but I don't want to go thru that

9:00 am

Scrabbler

I also want this migraine to end

9:00 am

Angelsong

thanks, Ata...got it

9:03 am

JBV

good morning, babblers -

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Hi JBV

9:04 am

JBV

sorry to hear about the migraine, scrabbler - I thought of you this morning - went out to get my paper from the driveway and tiptoed past a lawnful of bunnies

9:04 am

Atalante

hi JBV

9:04 am

Scrabbler

How cute!

9:04 am

Scrabbler

How is your husband, JBV?

9:04 am

JBV

it always amazes me to think how they manage to live and thrive in these suburban backyards

9:05 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbs its been going on for a while now, may ant to get it checked out. Can you drive that far?

9:05 am

JBV

he's much better in spirit and stamina, thanks, scrab - he is managing our basement construction project, so that is definitely a sign of improvement

9:05 am

Scrabbler

They are prey animals, plus don't look both ways on roads, so it is amazing that so many thrive.

9:06 am

redturtlehead

JBV that sounds like a lot of improvement, is he back to cooking?

9:06 am

phaeton

hello

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Red, there is a small community hospital 10 min away, or I could go to the hospital up north with a Neuro ED

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Hi Phaeton

9:06 am

JBV

not much time for cooking, red, but he is definitely in better spirits - the last procedure seems to have been more successful

9:07 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbs, if you havent had the sub q imitrex yet I'd go for the smaller ED, on a sunday am there should be less wait.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Good for him, jbv!

9:07 am

redturtlehead

JBV, this is great news, pleased for you and him.

9:09 am

JBV

thanks, everyone - he is less dependent on my care so I also have some more personal time, things are better

9:09 am

Scrabbler

I called the local ED, red, and the best doc is there. Maybe I will shower and go in...I hate being a patient.

9:09 am

redturtlehead

I swear by the SQ imitrex..

9:10 am

Atalante

how does imitrex work?

9:10 am

Scrabbler

Even for status migrainous. It has worked in the past (several yrs ago) if us4 early, but I am 4 days into this now.

9:10 am

redturtlehead

It causes the blood vessels in the head to constrict, less blood flow to head. Unfortunately the side effect is that it raises BP.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

That was a question, Red..even for status?

9:11 am

Atalante

ohh ty. not heard of that before

9:11 am

redturtlehead

It has worked for me after a 3 day headache, yet. The tablets and spray never worked.

9:12 am

redturtlehead

Definitely worth a try.

9:15 am

Uneaixoise

Hello again kids. I took a shower in preparation for an ER visit due to migraine since Thursday morning, and now I am feeling better. Maybe the coffee, naproxen, no-longer-dropping barometric pressure have all helped. Whew.

personal time off = vacation/sick time/holidays etc

10:56 am

Scrabbler

Or I guess paid time off works too

10:57 am

harpjane

we call it Paid Time Off in my company

10:58 am

rururocks

we call it no money coming in in mine

10:58 am

harpjane

lol

10:59 am

True, Ruru, or even losing money, is one person on vacation and someone else is working extra hrs.

10:59 am

sprite

back. ruru, where's my coffee? :)

10:59 am

harpjane

I really like the system, you can work on the "minor" holidays like Columbus Day and then have more time for your summer vacation

lol and hi, rbud

11:00 am

harpjane

My corporation runs a bunch of group homes and before we started using PTO, it was a MAJOR headache making sure everyone got 8 hours off for Columbus Day, etc.

11:01 am

harpjane

including people who usually work ten hour days and people who usually work six hour days. Do they get a DAY off or EIGHT HOURS off?

11:01 am

harpjane

Plus, I'm never sick so I get more time off than people in poor health

11:02 am

sprite

oh yes, that kind of issues. I think my ex-employer wanted to make us pay for being allowed to work in the4 end.

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

we used to get off whatever our schedule is. now std i 8 hours and you must take leave if you want more. while other entities keep the policy, our lawyers say it is against regs.

11:02 am

Does my typing show up to anyone?

11:13 am

rururocks

yes

11:13 am

TraderKate

noticed last "smaller" grid, we got list very late then too. is this the norm - (late list, small grid)?

11:13 am

kje

dirty words?

11:13 am

TraderKate

cannot see you typing shivs

11:13 am

kje

must not have found them yet

11:13 am

Shivs Fitz

Had to wonder! Thanks.

11:13 am

sprite

there is no norm. Lickety does what he can, and sometimes he can't. He has a life as well that sometimes need to take priority.

11:13 am

kje

oh ok

11:13 am

rururocks

co 6 my favorite word of the day

11:14 am

kje

why

11:15 am

TraderKate

understand has been occupied with (sick?) father a lot lately.

11:15 am

Shivs Fitz

When Lickety doesn't post the list, where do others get it from?

11:15 am

TraderKate

they finish, then write it out for the rest of us poor slobs...

11:16 am

sprite

among other things, yes. Producing the list is a service he renders for free, to help along those babblers that like to use it. It is amazing how seldom he is late or without list

11:16 am

kje

why, ru?

11:16 am

kje

unless you have a different co6 than me

11:16 am

Shivs Fitz

They must be awfully good, to finish these without a list!

11:17 am

sprite

was wondering the same thing, kje

11:17 am

Shivs Fitz

Doubt I could ever do it.

11:17 am

TraderKate

they are babbler savants!!!! gods....we must bow to them and give thanks

11:17 am

sprite

some of us have been babbling for years already, Shivs. And the ones that were here from before the pro babble, are used to do without lists, total of words, etc.

11:18 am

TraderKate

have only been around for a bit....but am not complaining. very glaqd to have it. would never finish without a guide

11:18 am

Shivs Fitz

I guess you learn a lot of uncommon words that appear in the puzzles, over time.

11:19 am

sprite

that too. The socalled 'babblets' are impossible to find the first time, but become like old friends in time, lol

11:19 am

sprite

I type in 'toea' in every grid, no matter what the letters are. And 'etna' too.

11:20 am

we were talking the other day about why guys put that they're "loyal" in personal ads... as none of us ladies had it listed anywhere near the top of attributes we look for...

12:02 pm

kje

what do you think a guy means when he says loyal (sounds like a dog)

12:02 pm

rururocks

won't play around.. but if they are in ads they are lying through their teeth

12:03 pm

Scrabbler

Hello again. Migraine is fading. I lost my internet connection and hour ago but am back up.

12:03 pm

that would be faithful... not loyal

12:03 pm

12:03 pm

rururocks

that's what they mean

12:06 pm

saintfranny

in fact scrab - treximet is new, and in fact is imitrex combined with naproxen. trex. is $$$, so i get generic imitrex and add an aleve to it. works great

12:06 pm

rururocks

I do imitrex and vicodin

12:07 pm

rururocks

I throw everything at a migraine

12:07 pm

TraderKate

12:07 pm

saintfranny

ive tried vicodin a couple times and it seemed to have no effect ruru

12:07 pm

rururocks

12:07 pm

Scrabbler

12:07 pm

crosshair

12:10 pm

kje

12:10 pm

saintfranny

i can't remember the name of it, but i took some sort of migraine preventative, and it gave me a constant twitch right above my lip! neuro. didn't believe they were connected, but i stopped taking it and presto, twitch gone. stupid doctors.

12:14 pm

dcseain

i've had migraine issues my whole life. Less so over time. I've learned in the last few years that what i think of as a precursor to a headache is what most seem to call a headache. This indicates to me that most have very low pain tolerance.

12:15 pm

Scrabbler

Go Kate go!

12:15 pm

When my sister was in labor with her firstborn, on Feb 10th, I told her, as midnight approached, to get him out. I wanted him born on an even day and he came out at 11:41 pm.

12:22 pm

Shivs Fitz

What do you mean by flipping houses, saintfranny?

12:22 pm

Scrabbler

BRB, must flip laundry

12:23 pm

Shivs Fitz

Funny, Scrabbler! Were you born on an even day?

12:23 pm

saintfranny

um - someone who buys a rundown house on the cheap side, remodels it to whatever extent, and then sells it for higher price - bought with no intention of living in it, just for turnaround profit. WAS a big thing in recent years - now of course, no houses are selling. or weren't.

Oh okay, saintfranny. Just never heard it called that before.

too much multi=tasking for me on a sunday, JBs. aye. it's 2:00 and i've barely moved from the bed yet

1:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was! we were just kids and of course thought we knew it all

1:00 pm

JBsAnno

Wow, TO - tell us more!

1:00 pm

TraderKate

scrabs re: raining cat and dogs - more useless knowledge... back in merrie olde england, the folk used to have a place on roof for domestic dogs/cats toi go to get off ground - presumably warmth of hearth rose and kept them warm....but when it rained heavily it got too sliuppery and they slid off...hence the term "raining cats and dogs"

1:00 pm

Scrabbler

I believe that at 12 one peaks in self-confidence.

1:01 pm

JBsAnno

Bless you, saint, it's a quiet day for me, not like packing to move (I'm not, just the comparison)

1:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

not much to tell really just personal stuff, you know, reconnecting and stuff. interstesting to knwo that no matter who we are, and how we live our lives, we all grapple with the same issues

1:01 pm

TraderKate

wow jb, what'll you do with the other 23 hours in your day?

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

1:03 pm

Scrabbler

Yummy, JB. What time is dinner?

1:03 pm

JBsAnno

'bout 5-6 hours from now, Scrabs, you have time to build up an appetite. Want to help fold laundry?

1:04 pm

Spanish has two verbs - cecear - to speak with a lisp, meaning that Z and soft C are pronounced as TH in thin, and sesear - to speak without a lisp, meaning that Z are soft C are pronounced as S. I speak the former dialect of Spanish, aka Castillian.

jacq

this is true, i wonder if he had downloaded any updates, some aren't always compatable for older systems

2:01 pm

TraderKate

no worries wolvie...you are not responsible for my abject failure...the reduction in my admittedly pathetic score is entirely due to my ineptitude; not your decision to return to the grid and spoonfeed me clues....

2:01 pm

Wolvie

I know that those plug in cards can get worn out in a mortal hurry. I wonder if it is just residual build up in the card?

2:01 pm

LOL, BR. Oh dear! Sounds like the sorrt of thing I usually win. I find it's better to appreciate simple pleasures, like realising a special moment when it's happening or the beauty of something in nature. More rewarding really.

One of my typing challenges is switching the D for the K and vice versa

6:27 pm

6:27 pm

JBsAnno

Buncha Babblers loaded the list into their profiles, as their were technical difficulties with Licketys today,displayed correct date with yesterday's data

6:28 pm

Jacula

JBs - better than switching an 'r' for a 'd', like many of my typists used to. Most common error was beginning a letter 'Dead Sir'.

6:29 pm

JBsAnno

Congrats on your winnings, Jac! Are you going to Disneyworld?

It's a running joke from a year's past SuperBowl commercial - "Football player! You just won the SB! What are you going to do now?"

6:30 pm

Jacula

Ah, haven't been around for much of the day as we were continuing the chase for elusive items of school uniform. All but one item is safely 'caught' now.

6:30 pm

JBsAnno

LOL, Jac, that would be bad!

6:30 pm

Jacula

JBs - well. Other Half and I were planning a day out and meal out tomorrow (Monday) so I'll pay for that.

6:31 pm

Disneyworld has never really appealed to me.

That's nice, Jac, I hope you have a wonderful time!

Par-tay!

8:56 pm

stidmama

I need the long HE word, if anyone has it handy?

9:02 pm

Trifioso

hello again friends. my girls are KILLING me today!

9:02 pm

Trifioso

spoiled brats

9:04 pm

stidmama

LOL tri... send them my way. I have a headache that won't quit (just a headache, not a migraine), mild panic attacks hitting every 25 minutes or so, and have been practicing being a "bad mama" on the boys all day.

9:04 pm

Trifioso

oh, I mean! sorry stid.

9:05 pm

stidmama

LOL *wicked mama grin* all the girls have to do is give me an "excuse".

9:05 pm

o-o

Borborygmus: Bowel sounds, the gurgling, rumbling, or growling noise from the abdomen caused by the muscular contractions of peristalsis, the process that moves the contents of the stomach and intestines downward. The plural is borborygmi.

9:06 pm

stidmama

thanks, BR! the smells from the kitchen are now generating LOTS of borborygmi.

9:06 pm

Trifioso

sorry to hear about the panic attacks esp....those must be a big hassle

9:06 pm

o-o

I am envious

9:07 pm

stidmama

you are welcome to join us, BR. dinner will be at about 8:30 tonight.

9:08 pm

o-o

a nice thought, thanks

9:09 pm

stidmama

intriguing info in your profile today, BR. food for thought.

9:10 pm

o-o

explains some things ... sad, though

9:11 pm

stidmama

yes, sad -- but important to understand when dealing with people who have developed those particular "coping" mechanisms. It took me half of last year to help a student move from "I'll never get it so why try" to taking an interest -- and it wasn't until a month before the end of school that there was significant self-directed interest.

9:12 pm

o-o

good for you, stid

9:12 pm

stidmama

thanks BR. those are the moments I live for. But it doesn't always work.

9:14 pm

o-o

saw it too many times in spouse abuse cases

9:15 pm

stidmama

yes, I used to work (briefly) with survivors -- stopped long ago, it tore my heart out.

9:16 pm

o-o

not much has changed .... violence against women is rampant

9:16 pm

lbdawger

after30 years in the helping profession, i had the hardest time working with abused spouses. I turned to working with PTSD vets, who helped me understand the abused spouse situation

9:16 pm

stidmama

true. and against men, but there is such stigma for the men they are less likely to seek help.

9:17 pm

stidmama

how did that help, LBD? if it's okay to ask...

9:18 pm

lbdawger

the abuse is another type of trauma, and by working through the trauma you can assert some control

9:18 pm

stidmama

ah. that makes sense.

9:18 pm

lbdawger

build the self esteem, and get the rational thinking human to take control back of his/her life

9:20 pm

stidmama

sounds reasonable. like how I approach the children who have lost the interest in learning. but not easy.

9:20 pm

lbdawger

it's a painstakingly long process, but the results are so rewarding

9:22 pm

lbdawger

lost interest in learning is often due to some form of trauma. someone told them they were stupid, or made fun of them because they stammered or didn't know an answer. this doesn't seem like a big deal, but to a little soul just forming, it is a horribly big deal

9:23 pm

stidmama

exactly. had a couple of those in Mother's last first grade class... by the time they hit middle school it's all but over. By that time they have decided if they can't be smart, they will excel at other things, less productive.

9:23 pm

Trifioso

you guys are tearing my heart out...as I am reading this, I am listening to tertiare SCREAMING in her room - she doesn't want to be alone....she doesn't want to be alone.....

9:24 pm

stidmama

oh trifioso... (((big hugs))) it's hard to be mama sometimes!

9:24 pm

torgone

Let her know she's not alone ..

9:25 pm

Trifioso

i am so so so fed up with her shenanigans. she and her sister will push me until I want to scream myself. she winds herself up and then screams until she gets what she wants.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Hi all. That stupid thing can also hit kids with disculcia (number blindness as opposed to word blindness) and, in the past, to left-handers.

9:25 pm

lbdawger

i remember a substitute teacher in 1st grade. she rambled on about something and then said "does anyone have any questions?" I rose my hand and said i wasn't sure what she wanted done. She replied to the class in an irritated voice "Can someone tell E what she is suppose to be doing?..." DO YOUR WORK!

9:25 pm

Trifioso

she knows, tor, she knows. she just wants to be in here with me, not in her room.

9:25 pm

Jacula

discalculia, I meant to type. Lol. I'm the one with number blindness and not dyslexia.

9:26 pm

stidmama

oh no! that's a horrible thing to say, especially when you don't know the class. *stern mama look*

9:26 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, Trif. the power of wills, and the strength of lungs.

9:26 pm

Jacula

And the self-esteem building is very imporant for both damaged adults and damaged children.

9:26 pm

stidmama

trifioso, once when the children were little and having a hard day I put in my earplugs and sat down in a comfortable chair in front of the fire with a book. After about 15 minutes they stopped and came up and asked me if I was okay!

9:27 pm

Trifioso

she is literally screaming. "I can't breathe! somebody help me, I can't breathe!" and then, if I go in to tell her to knock it off, she isn't alone anymore. But ignoring it is killing me.

9:27 pm

Trifioso

she is literally screaming. "I can't breathe! somebody help me, I can't breathe!" and then, if I go in to tell her to knock it off, she isn't alone anymore. But ignoring it is killing me.

9:27 pm

lbdawger

It took me all through elementary school to ever raise my hand in class again. I didn't ask questions and i rarely said much in class.

9:27 pm

Trifioso

I swear, it's like Ferberizing for fifth graders....

9:27 pm

Jacula

In my school days you had to stand on a chair to say your 'times tables' and to read out your spelling (10 words a day) tests.

9:28 pm

Jacula

(Early 1060s, that was.)

9:28 pm

stidmama

*sending trifioso earplugs* if she works herself enough, she'll sleep better tonight.

9:28 pm

Trifioso

but I won't, stid...

9:28 pm

lbdawger

Trif, go in with a score card...let the little drama queen know that you hear her, and she is not going to win. score her rather average for the drama

9:28 pm

stidmama

*grin* yes, just before William came over and gave those saxons "what fer" eh, Jac?

9:28 pm

stidmama

rofl -- cute, LBD!

9:29 pm

Trifioso

this is so hard. but if I go in there, she has won, hasn't she?

9:29 pm

Jacula

Well, a bit after then Stid, but not far off.LOL

9:29 pm

Jacula

I meant 1960s of course.

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

what a sentence to walk in on though

9:30 pm

o-o

hello, jmc

9:30 pm

stidmama

of course, Jac. *wink* I'll send over more hair dye later, shall I? We can keep up this illusion if we try hard enough.

9:30 pm

stidmama

hey jmc!

9:30 pm

lbdawger

i guess you're right, Trif. If winning is what it's all about. Never had to deal with screaming girls.

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

heellllpppp

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

It may not be a contest Trif. She mught just be grieving a family breakup and doesn't know any other way to express it. My guess is, if you go in and sit beside her without saying a word she will come into your arms and cry there. Just a thot.

9:31 pm

lbdawger

hi Jmc!

9:31 pm

Trifioso

but - then I will miss Mad Men! Horrors!

9:31 pm

Bugsaw

hi jmc

9:31 pm

Jacula

Stid, if I was that old I doubt I'd have any hair left to dye.

9:31 pm

lbdawger

hi bugs

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

very odd I was reading a different part of the chog and couldn't see my stuff in it

9:31 pm

stidmama

a good thought, bugs. ((hello))

9:32 pm

Bugsaw

whatever works. what works in one family doesn't necessarily work in another. Do what is right for you all.

9:32 pm

Trifioso

well, this is enlightening - Primo just went in and asked if he could help, said he was a boy sc5, and knew how to help her breathe. She IMMEDIATELY stopped and said "I need mommy!" hmmmm. Helen Hayes, ladies and gentleman, First Lady of American Theatre

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

Hi stid. I think you and I are on the same page with empowering wounded people.

9:33 pm

lbdawger

yup, drama queen

9:33 pm

stidmama

LOL way to go, bro!

9:33 pm

Jacula

My stepdaughter's settling in quite well now, though visiting her mother again in recent times has unsettled her a little. In fact, she's just gone back to bed after another chat with with now (due to see her Mum again in a couple of days).

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

She used her words with her brother, not actions so I would reward it. She might like to watch TV with you!

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

She used her words with her brother, not actions so I would reward it. She might like to watch TV with you!

9:34 pm

stidmama

I have firewords!~

9:34 pm

Jacula

Well done, tid.

9:34 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hooooooo STIDDY!!!

9:34 pm

Trifioso

way to go stid!!!

9:34 pm

Jacula

Or even Stid. My keyboard's sticking (unless I thump the keys) again.

9:35 pm

Bugsaw

well done stid.

9:35 pm

stidmama

I like finishing grids again. It was hard this last quarter to have to spend time on things that are only minimally satisfying.

9:35 pm

o-o

congrats, stid

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo stiddie

9:35 pm

stidmama

LOL Jac -- time to put the keyboard in the dishwasher?

9:35 pm

stidmama

thanks all.

9:36 pm

stidmama

I am going to check the mole and then come back to clue. will be multi-tasking, watching TV with the family. I also missed watching TV with the family this last quarter...

9:36 pm

Jacula

It's just been cleaned, Stid. I think it's just getting too old to move fast now.

9:36 pm

Bugsaw

Trif if you make it clear you will only respond to her when she uses words instead of behaviour to have her needs met, you will continue to ignore her. She has learned that dramatics are not effective and YOU HAVE WON

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

oh trif it is so hard to stand tough but in the long run it will pay off. {{{{Trif}}}}

9:36 pm

stidmama

I think it's star wars again. *mini poof*

9:37 pm

Bugsaw

Good work Trif for standing firm and kudos to your boy for providing the bridge. You are all doing well

9:37 pm

Bugsaw

hugs toyou all

9:37 pm

Jacula

I presume by 'mole' you mean a peanut sauce? I can't imagine you're running a velvet digger over your chicken?

9:37 pm

Trifioso

we in the chorus portion now, I think - "I am gonna DIE if you don't come in here! Really! I am dying!"

9:38 pm

o-o

Hello, Bugsaw .. thanks

9:38 pm

Trifioso

we *are* in the chorus portion....

9:39 pm

torgone

"Really, you are NOT dying."

9:39 pm

Jacula

Chorus position?

9:39 pm

Jacula

Oh, portion. LOL. Sorry.

9:39 pm

Trifioso

....and silence!

9:40 pm

Jacula

Drama queen doing the dying swan, Trif?

9:40 pm

Trifioso

it's a GOOD thing I have no abutting neighbors, I tell you!

9:40 pm

Bugsaw

HI BR. My boys did this for a long time when my marriage ended. I thot I was the meanest Mum in the world but now they are capable young men and they still love me.

9:40 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

9:40 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:40 pm

Trifioso

Evening min!

9:40 pm

stidmama

hello Min! welcome to the grid~!

9:41 pm

Jacula

HI Min. Fine here thanks. You?

9:41 pm

Bugsaw

It is WAY easier to do this with other people's kids in schools but they learn healthy ways of coping and know that they are still valued as people who just have a had time when emotions are big.

9:42 pm

Jacula

I remember once seeing a birth control advert for condoms where a guy was in a supermarket with a small child who was having a major screaming tantrum of not getting something he wanted.

9:42 pm

shorty

can i get a clue for the co6/24 please

9:42 pm

Jacula

They should show films like that in sex ed classes.

9:43 pm

Jacula

shorty - co6/24 = sexual intercourse, interruptus if you get caught.

9:43 pm

Minveryork

I'm well Jacula thanks! Starting this thing late though

9:43 pm

stidmama

CO 6/24: SEX

9:44 pm

9:44 pm

shorty

9:44 pm

Jacula

Quite well timed that clue question, wasn't it? *grins*

9:45 pm

Minveryork

She is a year older than I am, but she looks a hell of a lot better!

9:45 pm

stidmama

For some reason stidkid #1 is practicing the trumpet several times a day again. For some reason stidkid #2 isn't playing either the t-bone or the tuba even once a day. Nor the fiddle. Will have to speak to him about that.

9:46 pm

Jacula

Minn - but do YOU get airbrushed in your photos?

9:46 pm

Trifioso

LOL jacula - what an excellent point!

9:46 pm

stidmama

Tomorrow, instead of going to Mt. St. Helens, the stidkid wants to go to ...

*sigh*

the MALL.

9:46 pm

stidmama

very good point, Jac!~

9:46 pm

harpjane

ri6 anyone? (hi)

9:46 pm

Jacula

Having said that, the way you age has a lot to do with your genes.

9:46 pm

Trifioso

ugh.

9:47 pm

stidmama

ri 6: music for slow down

9:48 pm

o-o

wonder if Kelly and Autry new they were to blame

9:48 pm

Jacula

ri6 is a music word but is like a word for 'mentally backward'. Diff first vowel.

9:48 pm

Trifioso

whew, thanks stid, needed that r!

9:48 pm

harpjane

thanks!

9:48 pm

9:52 pm

Jacula

shorty - y/w.

9:52 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:52 pm

Minveryork

No, not yet. My dog is much better to look at Jacula.

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

bye stiddie

9:53 pm

Jacula

LOL Min. I did look at your flickr pics.

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

my computer committed hari kari and I had to resuscitate it

9:53 pm

Jacula

Was that your hand we saw a flash of in one of the pics, Min?

9:54 pm

Jacula

jmc - shouldn't it be resting quietly now and sipping hot sweet tea?

9:54 pm

Jacula

Though medics have tried to give me hot sweet tea in the past and I don't 'do' sugar in drinks, not even in shock.

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

either my computer or I should, jac, it has been a very rough day

9:55 pm

Jacula

Straight tea or coffee is fine by me, though I tend to avoid coffee sinc the 'hot flushes/flashes' came into my life.

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

I hate sugar in tea too. My husband kept trying to give me honey in tea -- ich!

9:56 pm

Minveryork

I was at the dog park that day,so it was the hand of another person at the dog park. I did not even take those pictures.Somebody at the dog park took them.

9:56 pm

Jacula

jmc - sorry to hear that. Hope tomorrow is calmer for you.

9:56 pm

Jacula

Ah Min! *sighs* So not even a flash of your own hand?

9:57 pm

Jacula

The only drink I like sugar in is hot milk. Childhood comfort zone thing, I think.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Dog park? You have places set aside just for dogs?

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

I take brandy in my hot milk!

9:58 pm

Jacula

LOL jmc.

9:58 pm

Magyk

may I get a clue for un5 please?

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

better to set aside places for dog so that the other places are free from them for people like me who have been bitten on a number of occassions

9:58 pm

Jacula

Whiskey's not bad in hot milk, either.

9:59 pm

Jacula

Mag - un5 is probably HUNGRY.

9:59 pm

Trifioso

jmc, all the more reason for you to come and visit! Boston has some LOVELY dog parks, esp in the Back Bay area. Just gorgeous

10:00 pm

Magyk

ha! Thank you Jac!

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

er trif perhaps you didn't understand --- I would NOT want to visit the dogs parks

10:00 pm

Jacula

Mag - y/w

10:01 pm

Trifioso

oh whoops. sorry. Def missed that! but the dog parks in boston are quite lovely. Very well thought out

10:01 pm

jmcnrick

but I do love Boston -- I lived there three weeks while my husband was in Mass General

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

I walked to little italy each day from beacon hill to eat lunch and buy fresh things for supper

10:02 pm

Trifioso

okay, going to check on ms. helen hayes - wish me luck!

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

I confess i sometimes use bourbon if there is no brandy jac

10:02 pm

Jacula

Good luck, Trif.

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

hang tough -- loving but tough---trif

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

and give the boy an extra hug

10:03 pm

Jacula

jmc - bourbon isn't whiskey. LOL. I'm sure we've had this discussion before, at leat twice.

10:03 pm

Jacula

*least

10:03 pm

Minveryork

I had never heard of the concept of a dog park until I got a dog. They're a good idea though.Serves many purposes:it gives your dog some exercise, socializes your dog with other dogs, and if you're single, it is a place to meet other people that also have something in common with you; they love dogs.I love dog parks!

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

I didn't say it was whiskey -- we were talking aboutwhat to put in warm milk

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

and I agree that bourbon isn't whiskey

10:04 pm

Jacula

True, jmc.

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

I almost said when I first wrote about putting bourbon in milk that I knew you would disagree! lol

10:05 pm

Jacula

We don't have dog parks here in UK but I've no doubt we will in the next 5-10 years, snce we often follow where US goes.

10:05 pm

10:10 pm

Trifioso

10:11 pm

jaianniah

A seat belt- I do not drool yet.

10:11 pm

10:11 pm

jaianniah

I sleep-lurk a lot, but it cost me today....

10:12 pm

Jacula

No matter how much I might be awed by someone, or rather what they can do, I know that everyone has weaknesses and so no one is 'better' than me.

10:12 pm

10:14 pm

Jacula

September is the month for making Christmas cakes. Heck! We haven't had summer yet (weatherwise) AND I saw the Christmas gift packs on shelves in the wholesaler's today.

10:14 pm

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

well welcome to you both

10:22 pm

TraderKate

jac - social intercourse can last much longer than loving co 6 /24 though...and afterward, there is renewed vigour....not overwhelming desire to sleep

10:22 pm

Jacula

jmc - that massaging hand in your icon is very distracting.

10:22 pm

tysbestfriend

you people are confusing

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

10:23 pm

Jacula

Kate - LOL. Do you not get renewed vigour from the other?

10:26 pm

Jacula

Well done, Trif.

10:27 pm

jaianniah

Ack hardly describes it- all the orthopedic surgeons were very proud of their handiwork whilst I was appalled at what they had done to me!

10:28 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Trifioso on fireworks! Good for you!

10:28 pm

TraderKate

LMAO at vision of jai swinging from chandelier and landing on water bed....but her lover looked intruiged...

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

hard to express on the chog jaia -- but I assume there is some future hope for the leg?

10:28 pm

jaianniah

They kept muttering, "At least you HAVE your leg!"

10:28 pm

Jacula

jai - Yes, what surgeons see as a job well done isn't always what individuals are even plastic surgeons would see as a job well done.

10:28 pm

tysbestfriend

are we only supposed to find words?

10:29 pm

TraderKate

good lord jai,l that's perfectly horrid!! do you have to stay in said chair?

10:29 pm

Pinikula

hi all...(better late than never here)

10:29 pm

jaianniah

Yes, ty, only words- what else can you do with letters?

10:29 pm

Jacula

ortho surgeons are the butchers of the mdical world. Now you need to go back and ask for the surgical beauticians.

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

well ty that is the crux of the game -- but we actually find community and conversation as well as words

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

hi pini!

10:29 pm

tysbestfriend

idk, how the hell did u find 95 words?????!/ i only got 18

10:29 pm

10:31 pm

jaianniah

The dictionary they use for this game is, well, large, but does not include such everyday words as "pissy" (No resentments here).

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

it can be time consuming but like any game fun

10:31 pm

Magyk

Hello Pini!

10:31 pm

Jacula

Jai - seriously now, orthopaedic surgeons are only concerned with the state of your skeleton. You now need to ask for the surgeons who are concerned about the outside appearance.

10:32 pm

Pinikula

hi magy...ltns!

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

and so you know tys we try very hard not to type the words into the chog so everyone can have a chance to guess them

10:32 pm

NonnieLight

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

on the other hand you can ask for clues any time

10:32 pm

thanks Min. Later days! <3

10:48 pm

TraderKate

aaaaaakkkkkkkk!!!!!

10:49 pm

Jacula

Yes, Ata. I'll send you the recipe for my fresh fruit salad, shall I? If you can find a place in one of our two loos with 4 people in the house, you'll be lucky. You'll aalso be lucky if you get a shot at the fresh fruit salad, ift disappears so quickly.

10:50 pm

Atalante

when I'm in Oregon, there's 3 of us in the house and 1 loo. The 3 includes 1 man who likes sitting in the bathroom for hours, literally

10:50 pm

TraderKate

do you desire turning me into a blithering idiot??? find welsh unfathomable, perhaps nbecause never heard it spoken?

10:50 pm

Jacula

Shw mae, Kate?

10:51 pm

TraderKate

jac post fruit salad recipe on profile please...

10:51 pm

TraderKate

AAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Welsh is a fantastic language. Do learn it.

10:52 pm

Jacula

Kate - will do later.

Kate shw mae is pronounced 'shoe my?'

Jacula

Welcome to Wales!

10:53 pm

TraderKate

ty, jac. if you must pepper me with welsh, perhaps you will do it when preparing a lovely dinner for me?...still counting air miles...

10:53 pm

Jacula

Keep saving those air miles, Kate.

10:54 pm

Jacula

cwrth is pronounced coorth.

10:55 pm

Atalante

but coorth as in boom, not food

10:55 pm

TraderKate

thgat's part of the problem. do they restrict vowel usage by levying heavy penalties?

10:55 pm

Jacula

And that's where it gets complicated for anyone who's not spoken or heard it spoken, Ata.:)

10:57 pm

jillibus

aren't the oo sounds in boom and food the same?

10:57 pm

Jacula

But there are variations between N and S Wales. I used the S. Wallian as an exampe for Kate when asking how she was.

10:57 pm

Minveryork

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:57 pm

Atalante

oh yes, it's not a language to learn from a book

10:57 pm

TraderKate

you just don't know where to insert vowel sounds that don't appear overtly in word...

10:57 pm

jillibus

hello, min -- finished earlier -- how about you?

10:58 pm

jillibus

I have family in Aberystwyth

10:58 pm

Jacula

Hello Jilli.

10:58 pm

Atalante

and Welsh has an awful habit of changing the first letter of a word - so Bangor can be written Bangor, Fangor or Mangor depending where it is in a sentence

10:58 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations jillibus on finishing early! Way to go!

10:59 pm

Jacula

True, Ata, It'sa diawl of a language to learn.

Atalante

11:16 pm

TraderKate

there's a special place in heaven for people that take the time to help poor defenseless animals ata

11:16 pm

Jacula

Da Iawn, Katw.

11:17 pm

Atalante

he was just adorable. 2 months old. all spindly, and he sounded like a dog's squeaky toy when he bleated

11:17 pm

Jacula

No, I went out on ta5.12. Hardly glorious.

11:17 pm

Atalante

I had bruises the shape of baby hoofprints on both legs for 3 weeks ...

11:18 pm

Dear deer are all over the place here -- see my flickr pix

11:18 pm

Jacula

Like I said, Atam you've learned to wrap him firmly in a blanket should you meet him again.

11:18 pm

Atalante

night min!

11:19 pm

Atalante

I did try ... well, I tried to wrap him in my fleece, which was all we had. Didn't work LOL

11:19 pm

Jacula

I guess you've not had experience with transporting sheep (who also have hooves) Ata?

11:19 pm

jillibus

g'night min

11:19 pm

TraderKate

gn min

11:19 pm

jillibus

I think I'll leave now until the flip

11:20 pm

Jacula

Ata - you have to get them back of the neck and FLATTEN THEM first, then quickly flip over whilst submisssive and then wrap TIGHTLY.

11:20 pm

TraderKate

have you had occasion to transport many ovine creatures jac?

11:20 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I won't give you any music links you don't like, I promise!

11:20 pm

Jacula

Kate- Yes, back in Waleson the farm.

11:21 pm

Atalante

Illl know next time! But really, he was an angel. He kicked out for a few seconds every 5 minutes or so, but apart from that, he rested against me with his head on my shoulder

11:21 pm

Jacula

Ata - did the placs where e drew blood from you get infected? If not, you were lucky.

11:22 pm

Atalante

nope, he only scratched me a tiny bit. hang on, I can show you I tyhink!

11:22 pm

Atalante

(if you can bear the sight of my fat legs lol)

11:22 pm

TraderKate

aha...a welshwoman lurks under that innocuous british flag in your profile...it's all making sense now...

11:22 pm

Jacula

And I guess, like me, you keptyour tetanus jabs up to date?

11:23 pm

Jacula

Ata - I saw the pics on FB.

11:23 pm

Atalante

oh ok :) that saves you the horror again

11:24 pm

Atalante

oh yes, definitely. even though my dr doesn't like it

11:24 pm

Jacula

Kate - my greatgrandparents were Welsh. I am English, sort of. LOL

11:24 pm

Atalante

http://tinyurl.com/knzakx <- for Kate :)

11:25 pm

TraderKate

SUCCESS!! i hear my quarry bleating plaintively...must go and subdue it before it escapes the clever trap i had set for it...bbs

11:25 pm

Jacula

Your DR doesn't like it, Ata? Mine virtually stalks me each decade with needle in hand. Well he did. He's retired now. I bet his successor won't accot me in my front garden, when I haven't been for my jab - cos I hate needles - and jab me there.

11:26 pm

Atalante

no, they got all snarky when I asked for one 2 years ago. "We don't give tet jabs out as a matter of course any more, just when you get bitten / poked etc"

11:27 pm

Atalante

me: well. ok. I walk my dog through woods every day, adn nearly every day, I'm working down on beaches and get poked with all sorts of random shit. Will you jab me now?

11:27 pm

Atalante

dr: ok ....

11:27 pm

Jacula

How weird, Ata - you're supposed to have one every 10 years, especially if you work with animals or are a keen gardener.

11:27 pm

Atalante

I know! I was rather confused

11:27 pm

Atalante

anywya, they gave me one

11:29 pm

Jacula

Good - you've got another 10 years now unless you get stung by something in the sea. In which case, find the nearest male and ask him to pee directly onto the sting.

11:29 pm

Jacula

If there is only a female around, she can do it, but it won't relieve so directly as male urine.

11:30 pm

Atalante

depends what you get stung by ...

11:32 pm

Jacula

Scorpion fish is male urine relieved. I know this is your ar4 of expertise. What does female urine help with?

11:33 pm

Jacula

(Though it's far easier for males to pee discreetly in public than it is for us.)

11:35 pm

Atalante

urine works on any toxin that's alkaline. Scorpionfish, weeverfish, most jellyfishes

11:36 pm

Atalante

not sure about the difference between male and female urine, will look that up and get back to you!

11:37 pm

Jacula

But there is a difference twixt male and female pee, if the smell of the [ublic toilets is anything to go by...?

11:37 pm

Jacula

side bar - jac ad on tv for chantix - back on market or re-worked formula, not sure? u.s. station...strill dire warnings thougfh...

11:37 pm

Jacula

Thanks Ata, I'd like to know about that.

11:38 pm

Jacula

Oh! That sounded bad, didn't it? LOL

11:38 pm

Jacula

Kate - what is chantix?

11:38 pm

Atalante

theres definitely differences in hormones in the urine, but I can't see how that would affect pharmacological action. I'll look it up when I'm more awake!

11:39 pm

Jacula

Ata - fine with me. Not totally awake here myself.

11:39 pm

TraderKate

pregnant female urine used in leather processing way back when, produced pliant and bleached leather/suede

11:40 pm

TraderKate

sorry jac...forgot who i was talking to....that's for jacq

11:40 pm

Jacula

Maybe the urine is stonger in ammonia for males?

11:40 pm

Jacula

Kate - is jacq here yet?

11:41 pm

TraderKate

more concentarted?

11:41 pm

TraderKate

no, don't think so...am oblivious pay me no heed

11:42 pm

Jacula

Kate, it's fine and, yes, the urine is probably more concentrated with ammonia.

11:43 pm

TraderKate

nasty, nasty men...and all that testerone yo boot!

11:43 pm

Atalante

oh wait - let me think for a moment -

11:44 pm

Jacula

Not going all religious here or anything, but either God or Gaia gave us this world to live in and gave us the cure for every ill, if we can find it.

11:44 pm

Atalante

hmm. no. end of thought

11:44 pm

Jacula

Kate -not all mean are nasty.

11:44 pm

TraderKate

jac just realized you and ata are awfully early risers

11:44 pm

TraderKate

just their pee...

11:46 pm

Jacula

Keep on thinking., Ata. I know you'll find the answer in the capacious filing cabinets of your mind eventually, after the little man inside your head has finished dashing up and down between fllor and found the file. (Well that's how I view retrieving thing I can't immediately snatch from by brain these days.)

11:47 pm

Atalante

or late going to bed-ers :0

11:47 pm

TraderKate

would have preferred not having the diseases in first place...better than huntoing for cures

11:47 pm

Jacula

Kate - we are ladies who don't sleep awfully well for various reasons.

11:48 pm

Jacula

Sometiimes, we've gone to bed an got up again, other times we haven't gone to bed yet. Life's like that at times.

11:48 pm

VolleymomDee

11:50 pm

11:50 pm

Jacula

Ata - if grid's that big, I probably won't do it. We're out for most of the day, once I get up.

Hi....

11:51 pm

Atalante

A word of caution about vinegar: Studies suggest that vinegar actually worsens the pain of Portuguese Man of War, bluebottle, and other Physalia stings. These creatures are dangerous look-alikes to jellyfish. Vinegar has been shown to cause nearly 30% of Physalia nematocysts to fire.

Which brings us to urine. Urine consists of water and waste products of the body's blood stream, which includes ammonia -- the reason for its legendary use. Depending on the person -- and whether he or she is dehydrated, diabetic, on a protein diet, or dealing with myriad other conditions -- urine may or may not be about as good as fresh water. In fact, urine contains so much fresh water that stranded folks can drink their own urine to survive (don't worry, I'm cringing at the idea, too). Since we know fresh water will often make nematocysts fire, the logical conclusion is that urine will do the same thing.

Urine has about a 50/50 track record on the Internet. Many anonymous bloggers sing the praises of this readily available wonder tonic, but research just hasn't supported the claims. Others tell stories of urine not working at all. I've yet to read any supposed first-hand claims that urine made the pain of a jellyfish sting worse.

11:51 pm

Atalante

I'm refusing to move from my study all day today

11:52 pm

jaianniah

Ata, you got urine all over my hello!

11:52 pm

11:54 pm

jaianniah

Hi, hi,hi!

11:54 pm

Jacula

So, pee is great if you're well hydrated. However, if you're on your 18th pint of the night, don't pee on your kinny dipping friend's foot sting?

11:55 pm

TraderKate

yep, goofy but dependable...can depend on me to be goofy

11:55 pm

Atalante

pretty much, I think!

11:55 pm

jaianniah

Hot water- very hot water- is the treatment for stings of that sort- it wrecks the chemical structure of the poison

11:56 pm

MLFAN17

hello

11:56 pm

Jacula

As for drinking urine - fresh urine is sterile but don't keep it longer than 10 mins if you intend to drink it.

11:56 pm

Atalante

yep, denaturing the proteins

11:56 pm

MLFAN17

Jac why would someone do that?

11:56 pm

TraderKate

tales from pow camps in asia tell such stories

11:56 pm

jaianniah

Urine trouble if u drink urine...

11:57 pm

Atalante

11:57 pm

Atalante

survival, mlf

11:57 pm

Jacula

MLF - why would they pee on thweir friend or why would they drink their own urine?

11:57 pm

MLFAN17

Ata ohh

11:57 pm

hi all ...interesting conversation to walk in on lol

11:58 pm

TraderKate

such earnest conversation, so close to FLIP COUNTDOWN....am concerned your priorities are not in order laDIES

11:58 pm

Jacula

There are people who think that drinking your own fresh urine keeps you young looking.

11:58 pm

MLFAN17

Kaz thats what i thought too.

11:58 pm

MLFAN17

sounded kind of demonic at first eek

11:58 pm

Jacula

I'm not one of them, but I can say that fresh urine tastes of nothing.

11:58 pm
