hi everyone
3:13 am
Andree
have i missed rose, i just tried to phone her, left a message
3:14 am
flosey
hello Andree, I just said hello 5 minutes ago and no one answered, think they've all left!
3:14 am
Andree
how are you flosey
3:15 am
Andree

3:15 am
flosey
lol, should be sleeping Andree - went to bed at 10: and woke at 1:
3:15 am
Haz1558
Hello, flosey and Andree, I'm not long arrived.
3:16 am
flosey
Hello Haz now at least there are 3 of us
3:16 am
Andree
is it 1am for you flosey
3:16 am
flosey
yes Andree
3:16 am
flosey
3 hours is not enough sleep!
3:17 am
Andree
it certainly is not, i hope after a little babble you get back to sleep
3:17 am
flosey
will babble until I get drowsy
3:20 am
Andree
so haz what do you think of george's new girlfriend
3:21 am
flosey
oh, who is George's new girlfriend?
3:21 am
Haz1558
I'm in my new diplomatic phase, remember. She's very beautiful and I hope she treats him well.
3:22 am
Haz1558
I'll be left to pick up the pieces if she's bad to him.
3:22 am
Andree
nothing diplomatic about me, she is probably a tart!
3:23 am
Haz1558
We need to work on your inner Henry Kissinger, Andree.
3:23 am
Andree
i don't recall her name flosey, some italian model
3:23 am
Andree
or some italian floosey
3:23 am
o-o
George? Boy George?
3:24 am
Andree
hi babble, george clooney, haz and he are secretly engaged
3:24 am
Haz1558
Is it the same one who was at the Venice Film Festival?
3:24 am
Andree
thats the one
3:25 am
Haz1558
No, Andree, the secret engagement is poor Scrabbler's fantasy. I merely provide George with a room under the stairs to give him peace and quiet away from females with stalking issues.
3:26 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Babble Rabble.
3:36 am
movieman
clue for the 8 plz
3:36 am
Haz1558
I don't have it yet, MM.

Hello everyone
3:38 am
Haz1558
Hello, lynxxx.
3:38 am
Haz1558
It's a relief to get that 8.
3:38 am
lynxxx
that's not nice Andree
3:39 am
Haz1558
Andree is still working on her diplomatic skills.
3:40 am
Andree
thxs for that 8 lyn

3:42 am
Andree

3:42 am
flosey
haven't seen West either, and haven't heard anything
3:42 am
Haz1558
No, nor have I, Andree. I haven't heard anything.
3:43 am
movieman
ty lynxxx
3:44 am
Andree
seems strange
3:44 am
Haz1558
Was she going on holiday? There's talk of a cruise at the back of my mind, but I could be wrong.
3:45 am
Haz1558
We need something like 'Neighbourhood watch' to keep a record of who's going on holiday etc.
3:46 am
Andree
a cruise, without us
3:46 am
Haz1558
Husband and I were on holiday in Yorkshire. We drove for miles into the moors. At the end of a deserted road we came upon a house. It had a 'Neighbourhood watch' sticker in the window.
3:49 am
lynxxx
West wasn't playing everyday like she used too. I remember seeing her a few weeks ago - maybe she's having a break as lots do. Babble seems to be seasonal for some
3:50 am
Andree
sometimes i go days but never longer
3:50 am
Andree
and my ranking must be in the toilet
3:50 am
Haz1558
You're probably right, lynxxx.
3:51 am
lynxxx
let's just say I get my monies worth
3:51 am
Haz1558
But we still talk to you, Andree.
3:51 am
Norma
Morning folks .. can anyone clue the no8 ;-)
3:52 am
Andree
thats the nice part of babble, one can come after a break and they haven't been forgotten
3:52 am
lynxxx
Hi Norma - there is no no8, nor the fa7 (I think someone said) a couple of extras on Lickety someone said
3:52 am
Haz1558
Hello Norma. It may be one of the extra words on Lickety, only one 8 indicated on babble word stats and it's an re8.
3:53 am
Haz1558
There are probably names we don't know because of the different time zones, but by and large you do get to know and remember a large number of babblers, or at least those who chat.
3:53 am
Norma
I got the fa7 ... but that explains why my little fingers are down to stumps monkeying the no8 tyty
3:54 am
flosey
something odd, Word Stats says there's 1 8 letter word
3:54 am
Andree
painful looking for a word that isn't there
3:55 am
Haz1558
flosey, there's a discrepancy between Lickety's list and the puzzle list.
3:56 am
Norma
Yes flosey ... the stats are usually correct
3:57 am
flosey
ah, thanks Haz and Norma
3:59 am

4:10 am
flosey
going to try to get back to sleep, bbl
4:11 am

4:50 am
forwardbyfaith
okay, lickety shows there is a fa7,44 but my f tile is colored in and I don't have that one...just curious
4:51 am
gortmold
lickety has an no8 that doesn't exist
4:51 am
forwardbyfaith
thanks for the heads up
4:51 am
gortmold
no worries
4:52 am
gortmold

4:52 am
forwardbyfaith
we are missionaries
4:52 am
gortmold
you're not Gale Christoffel's kid by any chance?
4:53 am
forwardbyfaith
nope
4:53 am
gortmold
just a thought
4:53 am
gortmold
i know a few missionaries to PNG, including my itinerant parents
4:55 am
forwardbyfaith
yeah, lots of missionaries over here
4:56 am
gortmold
yeah, a workmate of mine is an ex-png missionary - he says it's because there are a gazillion language groups
4:57 am
forwardbyfaith
I think there are over 860!
4:57 am
gortmold
so how many have you learned? :)
4:58 am
forwardbyfaith
we just got here so I am still working on pidgin!
4:58 am
gortmold
do you happen to know where you can get the Jesus film in Pidgin? (Parents are looking)
4:59 am
forwardbyfaith
I have no idea - have they looked online?
4:59 am
gortmold
yes, and you'd think that since i work for the people who invented and distribute the film, i would be able to get my mitts on one
5:00 am
gortmold
we found solomon island pidgin, but not png pidgin
5:01 am
forwardbyfaith
wow that's exciting. Maybe that should be your next project. :)
5:01 am
gortmold
there's a thought!
5:03 am

nice chatting with you gort - gotta go read to my kids before bed!

Scrabbs, Yes, Bobby is great with kids and animals. They really are drawn to him esp. dogs.

Scrabbler
Well, I myself am mental, herin
6:22 am
Anniebrook
Scrabbs, What was the volunteer doing? Did the children respond to him, her?
6:22 am
Scrabbler
Talking to kids in the hallway--making kids laugh.
6:23 am
Anniebrook
We are all mental in our own way
6:23 am

6:25 am
Scrabbler
Timmy is undergoing a bone marrow transplant in an effort to beat his cancer. Sabrina + Ben are doing well. Mary's kids (the oldest 2, ages 5 and almost 9) are struggling a bit more--more realization that mary is really gone. I too am sad as we approach 1 yr since her death. I miss her so much.
6:27 am
Anniebrook
Will say a special prayer for Timmy. So very sad about your friend Mary. She is missed by so many.
6:28 am
Scrabbler
Mary would be so proud of her kids. The little one, 23 mo, is talking so well, very advanced, and she pooped on the potty Tuesday!
6:28 am
Anniebrook
I am attending a bridal shower tomorrow. My niece is getting married in November.

Annie, I will be going to visit my sister in northern NJ in a month. Will you join us for a Babble mtg at Doren's?
6:30 am
Anniebrook
No, it is in North Brunswick, NJ. I have directions and my niece's phone if I get lost. And I say if hopefully. Not good with local streets in NJ. Wish me luck.

Hello, peeples

Hi BR... how's things?
7:42 am
jmcnrick
er hi all
7:42 am
jmcnrick
fat fingers
7:43 am
Jandy
i hope the rest of you isn't too thin then... it would look really odd! At least my fat fingers are in keeping...
7:44 am
jmcnrick
tsk tsk pb there jandy
7:44 am
jmcnrick
i am a little chubby -- I say not quite Rubenesque
7:45 am
Jandy
rats... pb... looking, looking. I like to describe myself as lush!
7:46 am
jmcnrick
as long as you are not a lush!
7:46 am
Jandy
And look at all the yummy stuff in the pb.. that's not going to help!
7:46 am
Wolvie
no - not yet anyway. lol
7:47 am
Jandy
Well, i might be a lush who is lush... i think the calories i drink may be a contributing factor... but the ones i chew are defintely the primary culprits.
7:47 am
jmcnrick
my big calories are the booze myself
7:47 am
jmcnrick
but I am a happy drunk
7:48 am
Wolvie
this is a good thing. :-)
7:48 am
Wolvie
being happy I mean
7:48 am
jmcnrick
er but not at 9 a.m.! lol
7:48 am
Jandy
Oh, me too. Extra happy. My token effort is Diet Tonic in the vodka... there's more calories in Tonic than Coke!
7:49 am
jmcnrick
ich I can't stand the taste of diet drinks
7:50 am
Jandy
Right, down to 29 without the list, so back to lurking so I can concentrate! Night all!!
7:50 am
jmcnrick
wolvie is quiet and happy it appears!
7:50 am
Wolvie
bye jandy - :-)
7:50 am
jmcnrick
bye jandy
7:50 am
Jandy
you're not putting enough vodka in it then, jmc! that hides the taste beautifully...
7:50 am
Wolvie
i am doing the grid today jmc - for a change. ;-)
7:51 am
jmcnrick
lol jandy I drink bourbon straight --- problem solved
7:51 am
jmcnrick
well don't let me disturb you
7:52 am
jmcnrick
I would hate to interfere with such dedication
7:52 am
Jandy
True, jmc, but we get some very hot weather... so the quinine in the tonic fights off malaria, and the extra liquid fights off dehydration..
7:52 am
Jandy

8:10 am
jmcnrick
I am sure -- but did you get lots of work done?
8:11 am
jesdraggon
uhm. well, i suppose so. porcupine quills out of three dogs, and the one i was worried about dying is still alive.
8:11 am
jmcnrick
then it sounds well worth the lack of sleep jes
8:12 am
jmcnrick
poor dogs
8:12 am
jmcnrick
I just started back at work after a month sabbatical so its odd
8:12 am
jesdraggon
they did it to themselves :P can't have too much sympathy for dogs that repeatedly get quilled. you'd think they'd learn. the other one though, he's had a damn rough night
8:13 am
jmcnrick
these same dogs got quilled before?
8:13 am
jesdraggon
at least one of them has, not sure about the other 2
8:13 am
jmcnrick
I really didn't think there were dogs that stupid!
8:14 am
jmcnrick
well maybe the one who was quilled before was trying to protect the others from his experience
8:14 am
jesdraggon
oh, you have no idea. we've got one boxer that we've de-quilled at least 6 times. and she doesn't get just a few either. buries her whole face in and takes a big bite

hmmm must have been another person, maybe CiociaJudy. Some Judi-ish, I'm sure!
9:08 am

Complete monster! I estimate he got out around 11:00 a.m. We didn't find him until after 6:00 p.m. He appeared from the corn field across the street.

10:04 am
jesdraggon
because i can
10:08 am
rururocks
I guess I am going to have to list with this one.. I am stuck...
10:12 am
Atalante
poooor ruru
10:20 am
marion3
how many words today?
10:29 am
jesdraggon
aww, ruru has to be like the rest of us today! heh. i think i've only ever done 1 grid without lickety...
10:31 am
Atalante
1 is better than a lot of people!
10:31 am
rururocks
I'm about 50/50.. most of the time
10:32 am
rururocks
would someone clue the en 6 for me?
10:32 am
Atalante
I would if I had it
10:32 am
o-o
en + underground part of a plant
10:33 am
rururocks
oh damn.. I never see that one.. thank you BR
10:33 am
Atalante
Jes, on a scale of bad to omg!dead, how bad is a feline BUN of 115?
10:35 am
Nef
hello Fellow Babblers. Ata, a *human* BUN of 115 means dialysis; don't know what it is for a cat though
10:35 am
rururocks
that is not that bad ata.. we've had higher numbers.. but it is renal weakness
10:36 am
Atalante
her normal BUNs were about 30 a year or so ago, now she's hovering between 80 and 115, poor baby, with creatinine of 9
10:37 am
Nef
poor cat! :-(
10:37 am
rururocks
that is too bad ata.. is she really old?
10:38 am
Atalante
6. She's *6*
10:38 am
Atalante
vet thinks it's a congenital issue, she was a street cat that appeared one day and got adopted in
10:38 am
rururocks
well she has had a better life with you..
10:39 am
Atalante
absolutely! it's just so sad, she's such a darling unassuming little kit
10:39 am
Nef
is she on a special diet? My Tommy had to be on a reanl diet before I had to put him down (for other reasons though. He was a rumpy Manx and had renal and neuro problems
10:40 am
rururocks
she could have eaten things on the street that affected her kidneys too and damaged them
10:41 am
rururocks
we've done the fluids thing with all our cats
10:41 am
Atalante
she's on Hill's k/d at the moment, and seems to like that, so that's good. and she's gaining weight on it, which is really necessary for her. when we took her to the vet a few months ago, she was skeletal. under 6lb. now she's over 7lb
10:42 am
Atalante
too true, ruru. We'll never know. we tried giving her fluids twice a week instead of every other day and she got rushed to the vet yesterday with vomiting and not drinking etc. she's back on every other day.
10:42 am
Nef
that's what we had Tommy on. How is her fliud status? It's good she's gaining weight
10:43 am
Atalante
she seemed to be doing really well until yesterday, bright eyed, bushy tailed, bouncing around for the first time in a year or so. then yesterday she just went downhill again. It could have been something she ate of course, something manky from under the cooker or something, but it was just awful how quickly she went from ok to hunched and miserable
10:45 am
Atalante
(sorry for wibbling about it. just had a bit of a scare over the last few hours with her!)
10:47 am
jesdraggon
Sorry, ata, wasn't ignoring...was outta the room. BUN is less of a good prognostic indicator than Creat. a creat of 9 is pretty serious, at the high end of what is usually treatable. typically, i tell people that at that level, we can treat aggressively and usually see some response. much higher than that, and even with IV fluids and hospitalization we don't usually gain much.
10:48 am
Nef
you know, being dehydrated will raise a BUN and possibly affect the Creat too
10:48 am
Atalante
*sigh* poor cats. I've been amazed at how many people have had cats with kidney problems since Jinx started to be ill
10:49 am
jesdraggon
chronic renal failure is really really common in cats, ata
10:49 am
jesdraggon
followed closely by hyperthyroidism
10:50 am
Atalante
TY, Jes. I thought something like that. We're trying to think of her on borrowed time and just enjoy her - treatment appears to be working, sort of. Enough, but not brilliantly. but as long as she's chasing bread ties and fighting her sisters ...
10:51 am
Atalante
I really didn't know that! I guess I've been lucky in never having had one die that way
10:51 am
jesdraggon
yep. usually not reversible or curable, but you can manage it, and as long as she's comfortable, that's what matters.
10:53 am
Atalante
yep. poor babe. we're learning a lot about giving fluids and anti-nausea jabs and all sorts of things!
10:53 am
jesdraggon
fun, isn't it? just put my kidney-cat down last weekend. :(
10:54 am
Atalante
oh jes, I'm sorry!
10:54 am
Atalante
and sorry for bringing up kidney stuff at just the wrong time! *hugs hugs hugs*
10:55 am
jesdraggon
eh. knew it was coming; actually surprised she made it as long as she did. she was in such crappy shape when I got her, and never did eat enough to get over 5 pounds.
10:56 am
Atalante
poor thing :(
10:57 am
stidmama
(((((JES)))))
10:57 am
stidmama
hello all.
10:58 am
jesdraggon
but she got a couple months of sleeping on the bed before she went, which I have to think is an improvement over wasting away outside an abandoned house, right?
10:58 am
Atalante
hi stiddy! go vote for Jes at the Animal REscue Site!
10:58 am
jesdraggon
morning, stid! how goes?
10:58 am
stidmama
definitely better for the cat, jes. you're a SAINT.
10:59 am
jesdraggon
hardly. i'm not nearly pious enough for that!
10:59 am
stidmama
goes... okay enough. FINALLY had the nerve to write a letter I had put off for a month. Hit the SEND button just a few minutes ago.
10:59 am
stidmama
Glad to have it off my plate.
10:59 am
jesdraggon
good on ya. hope the response is favorable :)
10:59 am
stidmama

11:03 am
Atalante
just about, it's even sunny here now!
11:05 am
stidmama
LOVE sun! we had a sunny afternoon yesterday and it's lovely here now, but we are "promised" rain overnight and tomorrow.
11:06 am
Atalante
meant to be *hot* in astoria today
11:07 am
stidmama
probably will be -- and probably windy, with this system moving onshore.
11:07 am

suefrad625
sorry, just saw posts with cats and kidney problems
11:08 am
jesdraggon
me too, stid. :) started off better this time than the last time they ran this contest... i didn't start until half way through that one. This time I'm already 13th in the state :)
11:08 am
suefrad625
I find it happens most in males that have been neutered
11:08 am
stidmama
yep, coming from the NW.
11:09 am
Atalante
go go jes!
11:09 am
suefrad625
I lost my baby to it and since make sure I feed the males the food make for urinary track care
11:09 am
stidmama
good for you! shall I tweet about you?
11:09 am
jesdraggon
that would be great! :)
11:11 am
suefrad625
new icon if you refresh
11:11 am
stidmama
okay, tweet sent. It will also reach my facebook list.
11:11 am

you rock, stid
11:11 am
suefrad625
this is Dixie, someone left her at a barn
11:12 am
Atalante
awwwwwww
11:12 am
stidmama
she is sweet! what a great face.
11:12 am
Nef
I've never heard of that connection before, sue. And jes, I *think* I just voted for you also
11:12 am
suefrad625
she let my cat suckle off her when it was a kitten
11:12 am
jesdraggon
you think? did it pop up a picture and ask you what animal it is?
11:12 am
suefrad625
she is so sweet and follows the postman around to get cookies
11:13 am
stidmama
good puppy!
11:13 am
Atalante
I got a rabbit :)
11:13 am
suefrad625
yes Nef, it is the ph balance in the food
11:14 am
jesdraggon
There's not really much connection between chronic renal failure and being male. I think you're think of urethral obstructions.
11:14 am
Nef
jes, I did get a pop-up and had to write it in. So that means I did vote? Good!
11:14 am
stidmama
I got a sheep. must have heard me say I am allergic yesterday. *sigh*
11:14 am
jesdraggon
yep :)
11:15 am
jesdraggon
that's to make sure you're not an auto-repeat program to stuff the ballot box :)
11:15 am
stidmama
no blank tiles.
11:15 am
jesdraggon
aww, you're allergic to sheep? but they're so CUTE
11:16 am
Nef
I got a frog. With his tongu out
11:16 am
jesdraggon
i got lions this morning
11:16 am
helensgirlkid
Sheep are cute at a distance; up close it's a different story.
11:17 am
stidmama
I am allergic to ALL ruminants -- at least for ingestion (but I am not lactose intolerant). I haven't been around any live ones in so long that I don't know if that is safe. Just know that even incidental exposure in food is dangerous.
11:17 am
Atalante
lions! ooo!
11:17 am
stidmama
I like frogs. but not to eat.
11:17 am
mom2han8
I am finding these "g's" to be difficult today... is it just me??
11:17 am
stidmama
and I like lions... but definitely NOT up close (there's one that occasionally hunts near our home)
11:17 am
jesdraggon
no good, stid. that sucks. probably better for your heart though, since you can't eat the high-fat cow
11:18 am
stidmama
the
Gs are a bit hard
11:18 am

ok babblers, opinion time.
i have a very hard time finding classy leather boots that i like because (1) i have extremely large calves and (2) i am extremely picky.
so i have finally found a pair of wide-calf boots that i really like, but they are $200.
do i wanna pay $200 for a pair of boots?
i REALLY want boots, but im not sure if $200 is too much...
12:10 pm

12:37 pm
KatieMcG
Hello, sorry haven't been on much been working late and can't face thinking after it
12:37 pm
KatieMcG
How are things?
12:38 pm
Atalante
I finally have warm toes cos I have a Hobbit on my feet :)
12:38 pm
Atalante
has work been horrid, or just long?
12:39 pm
KatieMcG
It's really hard at the moment but I actually prefer it like that. I was bored a while a go and really struggelled to get up, now when I don't know which way to turn I am shattered but happy - I know I can't help it!!
12:39 pm
Atalante
there's never a happy medium, is there!
12:41 pm
KatieMcG
They completely underestimated what a programme would involve and it seems that some of us have more than others to do! I've also had an interview for a sideways move to Birmingham and have had an assessment centre for a promotion (the interview for that is a week Monday) so all told it's been a hectic week
12:42 pm
Atalante
you'd like to move to Birmingham? Would it be more interesting?
12:43 pm
KatieMcG
it would only be a 16 mile commute each way, in November my office moves to Corby and that would be a 60 mile commute so it is really attractive. If I leave work at 6.45 I could be home by 7.15, at the moment it is 8 before I am getting in
12:44 pm
KatieMcG
work should be about the same on the interest levels but in the West Midlands rather than East, so different issues. I've worked there before (for a similar but different company) and loved it
12:45 pm
Atalante
sounds great! and B;ham is MUCH nicer than Corby!
12:45 pm
KatieMcG
I'm not holding out hopes on the promotion but thought I ought to at least make the effort!
12:46 pm
KatieMcG
Better shopping certainly lol
12:46 pm
Atalante
absolutely! you won't get if you don't ask!
12:47 pm
KatieMcG
I do hate assessment centres though and it lasted 6 hours
12:47 pm
Atalante
ick. ICK.
12:49 pm
Atalante
I'm just signing up for the next module of my Coastal Zone Management Msc thing
12:49 pm
Atalante
I get to learn about GIS
12:53 pm
KatieMcG
It is such a great tool Ata. I only use it in a very minor way but we have a whole team working on it. I know council's keep so much data that way now
12:53 pm
Atalante
the whole module is "environmental data analysis". I probably know a certain amount of it, having done a data analysis based phd, but I know *nothing* about GIS and am looking forward to it muchly
1:03 pm
ChrissieDee
good evening ladies - and good luck for the promotion, or at least the Birmingham post Katie
1:04 pm
Atalante
hi chrissie!

1:15 pm
ChrissieDee

1:16 pm
Atalante

1:21 pm
ChrissieDee

1:21 pm
Atalante
sily is one of the prettiest cats I've ever seen - I know she's mine, but she truly is stunning - but when she yawns, she does THAT
1:21 pm
Atalante
it's so so so so funny
1:21 pm
Atalante

2:08 pm
Wolvie

2:09 pm
Atalante
barns you can get with normal coins - just keep harvesting!
2:10 pm
Wolvie

2:10 pm
Wolvie
I want the groovy barn. :-)

2:45 pm
Soodle
Stidmama, just looking back at the chog. I second that comment about being delighted to see BabbleRabble. I login every day just to see his comments. BR, if your still lurking, take a bow!! Lovely one today, but its making me feel a bit guilty!

2:51 pm
TraderKate
saw a post a few minutes ago..no 8/40 and fa 7/44 are in lickety but do not exist in babble grid...slight glitch in programming?
2:53 pm
stidmama
yes, good book. simple premise, but one that we don't usually consider: that the brain as a physical organ grows and changes in response to use, and that this is the fundamental basis of learning.
2:53 pm
lbdawger
hi soodle
2:53 pm
Soodle
Hiya dawg!!
2:54 pm
lbdawger
the brain, an amazing muscle/organ. can't live without it, but we rarely exercise it as it should be used.
2:54 pm
Atalante
I think Lickety uses a slightly different dictionary
2:55 pm
lbdawger
i just want to know what the no8 is. i found the fa7
2:55 pm
stidmama
*doing brain
pushups with letter tiles*
2:55 pm
TraderKate
just wanted to make sure babblers weren't looking for words in the grid that 'don't exist'
2:55 pm
ChrissieDee
I take it you are a "mature student" stid and can vouch for the fact that you can still develop the brain as the years go on
2:56 pm
stidmama
first FA 7 please?
2:56 pm
ChrissieDee
I started my degree in my 40's. Ended with a first and definitely "bigger" brain
2:56 pm
lbdawger
some of the research i've re4 on alzheimers is interesting, exercising the brain, doing brain games and such to keep it from atropying
2:56 pm
TraderKate
today is volleymomdee's birthday
2:56 pm
stidmama
good for you chrissie! (gives me hope)
2:57 pm
lbdawger
the first one on lickety's list is not on the grid, stid
2:57 pm
lbdawger
the fa7.40 is fa4.7 + superlative ending
2:57 pm
stidmama
oh -- that's the FA 7 you meant! *sigh* I should pay better attention.
2:58 pm
Soodle
Dawg - I believe the technical term is 'Use it or Lose it'!
2:58 pm
stidmama
happy bday to dee (wherever she is)
2:58 pm
lbdawger
that would be the phrase, soodle
2:59 pm
Soodle
Always good to get the technical term!!

3:28 pm

starvation diets don't work very well. look at portion control and either count carbs or fats to watch on your intake of food
3:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
lyn i love your doggie breeds
3:28 pm
GreyWoulf
yes, lbd, where I used to get up at 7 to be at work by eight and then work 10 hour days, M-F
now I have to get Kristianna up at 6 so she get to school at 7 - and on MWF, I am picking her up from school at 3:30 and working from home for an hour or so to make sure my hours are maintained
3:28 pm

3:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

3:31 pm
GreyWoulf

3:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
mechanical, electronic, materials, metallurgy
3:33 pm
GreyWoulf
TO -- I wasn't asked to work 10 hour days, it just worked out that way -- I have a tendency to get too involved in my work and forget to take lunch especially when I am helping in the warehouse -- and then I have emails to answer which always add an extra hour minimum
3:33 pm
lbdawger
i love drawing out furniture patterns and house plans. all day dreams.
3:34 pm
GreyWoulf
lbd - house plans are the best... although I always try to work in at least one tower for a library and a semi secret back hallway between certain rooms

9:15 pm
jmcnrick

9:15 pm
jmcnrick

9:15 pm
rbud
dessert pizza, good stuff!
9:15 pm
lbdawger
dessert pizza is a good way to go for a large group
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
never had one but can see its charm
9:16 pm
Dorens
my favorite pizza is the simplest. margharetia. fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, fresh garlic (fresh tomato doesn't hurt either)
9:16 pm
Uneaixoise
in a woodburning oven!!
9:16 pm
lbdawger
oooh, love a good margharetta pizza
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
I have a vegan on my staff so now I have to order vegan pizza for the office
9:17 pm
jmcnrick
I think a pizza without cheese is sad!
9:17 pm
lbdawger
a strick vegan? no cheese! yuck!
9:18 pm
jmcnrick
yeah I get them from time to time
9:18 pm
lbdawger
toast with tomato sauce...gag
9:18 pm
jmcnrick
it always causes me quick a quandry trying to cook anything not asian
9:18 pm
Dorens
we have a place near here that does excellent margharita== a bit too much garlic, maybe, but I love it. once a month in the summer we get it delivered to the beach for my book club and we sit at the gazebo, and sneak wine with it (a bunch of old egghead ladies, why would anyone bother us for drinking wine, right?)
9:18 pm
jmcnrick
but they are easier than when I have an observant Jew or Muslim
9:19 pm
jmcnrick
too much garlic is an oxymoron
9:19 pm
Dorens
this past tuesday night we sat there with candles into the evening.. it was such fun
9:19 pm
jmcnrick
sounds nice dorens
9:19 pm
lbdawger
sounds like a wonderful time, Dorens
9:19 pm
Uneaixoise
indeed!

I used to own a taxi, drove a couple of sweet old babes weekly to and from their "card night" - where they partook freely of homemade wines of various flavors - they were a hoot! Red hat society.
9:20 pm
lbdawger
i tried being part of a book club once. didn't work out, i don't like picking apart books. or hashing over stuff that isn't relevent.
9:20 pm
jmcnrick
or 5/12?
9:21 pm
Uneaixoise
same here, dawg . . .
9:21 pm
lbdawger

9:21 pm
lbdawger
snap, unea
9:21 pm
jmcnrick
ty lbd and une
9:22 pm
Dorens
most of us don't do that... i am actuallly in two book clubs.. the library book club (the one that meets at the beach) is such fun... really funny eclectic smart women. we're really becoming quite fond of one another
9:22 pm
Dorens
the other is a bit sillier, mostly what they do is decide who should be cast in the film version of each book..
9:22 pm
Uneaixoise
how do you select the books, dorens?
9:23 pm
lbdawger
both sound like fun, dorens. i guess i've not found the right group.
9:23 pm
Dorens
usually someone has read a book and recommends it... once in a while there is some controversy, but usually not. and i read books i wouldn't have known about otherwise, and they're usually good. some (from the silly book group) are kind of lightweight, and sometimes i dont' read them
9:24 pm
Uneaixoise
just curious . . .
9:24 pm
Dorens
once they read a jodi picoult book. i thought it was dreadful, and swore i'll never read another book by her, but i have to admit it generated the most interesting conversation
9:24 pm
jmcnrick
I want reese witherspoon to play me if merryl streep isn't available
9:24 pm
Uneaixoise
glad you like our local girl, jmc!
9:25 pm
lbdawger
jodi picoult...she's a recipe writer. just change the scenery and name of the characters
9:25 pm
Dorens
i just finished olive kittredge... bought it cause i saw someone else who was reading it and she loved it.. it won a pulitzer, so figured it had to be good... and we really enjoyed it... recommended it to both book groups... the library group adored it! we'll see about the other group. we discuss in october
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
I thought she was wonderful as june carter
9:25 pm
Uneaixoise
my ex is her family's hairstylist :-)
9:25 pm
o-o
the odd thing about book clubs is that I never known a book to join one
9:26 pm
Dorens
she was good as june carter
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
a woman with connections
9:26 pm
Uneaixoise
hey, BR!
9:26 pm
Dorens
ahh babrab. you got me there
9:26 pm
TraderKate
the english patient won lots of awards too...never read so much drivel in my whole life
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
well maybe books are like grocho
9:26 pm
Dorens
i liked the book, but the movie put me to sleep.
9:26 pm
Uneaixoise
oohhh, but TK, the movie was woooonderful!
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
i hated the english patient -- and the bridges of madison county
9:27 pm
Dorens
yes, groucho wouldn't want to be a member of any group that would have him, or something like that
9:27 pm
lbdawger
gag on bridges
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
both the books and the movies
9:27 pm
Uneaixoise
even the movie??
9:27 pm
Dorens
maybe i didn't like the movie cause i read the book, une?
9:27 pm
TraderKate
never saw movie...if it followed the book then it must have been a snoozefest
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
I usually read the book before I see the movie if I can
9:28 pm
Dorens
bridges... read the book when i needed something light so that was ok... but the movie? i adore meryl streep, but that was bad casting, i think, didn't like the movie
9:28 pm
Uneaixoise
hmmm, i read the book after the movie -- TK, heresy! the movie was excellent
9:28 pm
jmcnrick
the worst translation of a book to a movie I EVER saw was the 7 Faces of Dr. Lao
9:28 pm
TraderKate
usually prefer book to movie, usually better story and lots more depthj/detail
9:28 pm
lbdawger
i've found that movies often take too much license, and it turns out not being the st5 i re4
9:28 pm
Dorens
how about dr. zhivago? i adored the movie
9:28 pm
jmcnrick
I adore meryl streep too but she could save that story
9:28 pm
Dorens
then again, i was young, studying russian, and in love with julie christie
9:29 pm
Uneaixoise
Dr. Zhivago came out when I was a teenager working in our local movie theatre :-)
9:29 pm
Uneaixoise
Julie Christie . . . sigh . . .
9:29 pm
Dorens
and did you love it?
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
I kept wondering how they could be so oblivious
9:29 pm
TraderKate
maybe will see movie one day...only finished book cause i thought something might actually happen...kept reading...kept waiting
9:29 pm
Dorens
oh, there's the answer
9:29 pm
lbdawger

9:29 pm
Dorens
love is blind
9:29 pm
jmcnrick

lbdawger

9:35 pm
Dorens

9:35 pm
lbdawger

9:35 pm

9:35 pm
jmcnrick

9:35 pm
jmcnrick

9:37 pm
lbdawger

9:37 pm
mrpresident

9:37 pm
mrpresident
my potassium is dropping and I can't have it go lower than 3.5
9:38 pm
Dorens
oh my, i can't imagine doing that mrp.
9:38 pm
jmcnrick
did I ask for in5/10?
9:38 pm
jmcnrick
potatoes too
9:38 pm
jmcnrick
and apples
9:38 pm
jmcnrick
and tomatoes
9:38 pm
Dorens
kind of like the on5 you asked for. fish, jmc
9:39 pm
mrpresident
when I break my fast, I have watered down juice for the day, then banana and rice and almonds for dinner
9:39 pm
lbdawger
like the on5, jmc
9:39 pm
jmcnrick
thats right! argh
9:39 pm
mrpresident
yes jmc, apple juice is the first thing I have to drink, with some lemon in it
9:40 pm
mrpresident
and flaxseed oil too... good detox for the liver to have that with grapefruit
9:40 pm
jmcnrick
my husband was on what we called the no food diet -- which (because he had no kidneys) meant no potassium
9:40 pm
jmcnrick
no salt, no cholesterol
9:40 pm
mrpresident
so he was on water only?
9:41 pm
lbdawger
whew, i was thinking you were only drinking water, nothing else!
9:41 pm
nbjasmine
hi all.
9:41 pm
mrpresident
dawg, I am only drinking water, nothing else
9:41 pm
jmcnrick
no he was theorectically eating but it was hard to find anything worth eating that met all of the conditions
9:42 pm
jmcnrick
and it was the last 6 months of his life which is too long for a water fast for anyone!
9:42 pm
nbjasmine
mr pres, i just read back to see you are on day 11 of a water only fast
9:42 pm
lbdawger
yikes, mrp. how are you able to keep up your blood sugar and not just faint away?
9:42 pm
mrpresident
yes jasmine
9:42 pm
nbjasmine
i am beginning one on tuesday
9:42 pm
mrpresident
fantastic! how long for and do you have medical support?
9:42 pm
Dorens
my last word was an6 -- kind of like what mr pres can't have much of when fasting like that, with a different vowel to begin
9:42 pm
nbjasmine
i am interested in how you are feeling given your challenges
9:43 pm
jmcnrick
whoo hoo dorens!
9:43 pm
lbdawger
whoooo hoooooo DORENS!!!
9:43 pm
jmcnrick
*throws confetti*
9:43 pm
Dorens
mrp must be superhuman!
9:43 pm
nbjasmine
i will attempt a 30 day, and yes have an md to supervise
9:43 pm
lbdawger
mrp is bionic woman!
9:43 pm
jmcnrick
yikes nb!
9:43 pm
mrpresident
jasmine, if you are on facebook, go to the water fasting group
9:44 pm
mrpresident
I have been posting on there daily
9:44 pm
mrpresident
30 days is very long! why are you fasting jasmine?
9:44 pm
nbjasmine
i am on face book, i will look for it
9:45 pm
nbjasmine
many reasons comprising the physical, mental, and spiritual
9:45 pm
mrpresident
my discussion is called 'my 2009 water fast'
9:45 pm
nbjasmine
are you mr pres on facebook?
9:46 pm
mrpresident
are you seeing a doctor everyday jasmine
9:46 pm
mrpresident
no, I am michelle matula
9:46 pm
mrpresident
lickety is also a member of the group
9:47 pm
nbjasmine
not everyday. md gave me the go ahead for 15 days as i am in excellent overall health. will check in day 15 then go from there
9:48 pm
mrpresident
I go to a doctor everyday, have urine checked and blood tests every 3 days... it is very important to have medical support throughout the fast
9:49 pm
nbjasmine
with no health "problems" there is no way i would be allowed to visit the md everday, altho she did say to contact her at any time if i felt need....
9:49 pm
nbjasmine
are you in retreat? or at home?
9:50 pm
mrpresident
at home, and don't have any restrictions to seeing a doctor everyday.
9:50 pm
mrpresident
Personally, if you can go everything 3 days, you will be safe
9:51 pm
mrpresident
'every 3 days'
9:51 pm
nbjasmine
well health care here doesn't allow for it! you may have heard of our woes in that regard
9:52 pm
mrpresident
jasmine, how do you know how your potassium levels are? and your liver functions, and your sodium??
I would NOT fast without full support... your system sucks for you and 30 days is dangerous in that case
9:52 pm
nbjasmine
truly i feel safe in the first 15 days. i have done a lot of research and have fasted before (not as long) so have confidence
9:53 pm
Andree
hi everyone
9:54 pm
lbdawger
hi andree
9:54 pm
Andree
mrp now i know why we havent met for lunch, lol
9:54 pm
mrpresident
it is good to have fasted before, but don't let the 'fasting high' that hits you in week two fool you. Blood tests are important and urine tests daily are necessary to check for proteins and blood in urine
9:54 pm
nbjasmine
my water is softened with potassium so i get plenty, and if i feel weakened overly much will certainly see the doc.
9:55 pm
nbjasmine
hi andree
9:56 pm
nbjasmine
also, i have plenty of reserves, so to speak
9:57 pm
lbdawger
i'm heading out. see you all tomorrow! (((mrp))) share these hugs with the family!
9:57 pm
jmcnrick
hi andree
9:57 pm
nbjasmine
thank you so much for the advice and concern- good luck with your last few days.
9:58 pm
mrpresident
bye dawg!
9:58 pm
mrpresident
hi andree! :))
9:59 pm
Jacula
OOps. I just came in to say 'Hi!' and then I saw all the fasting stuff. Foorgive me ffor not joining in. As the mother of a recovering anorexic, this is painful territory for me.
10:00 pm
mrpresident
thanks jasmine... good luck with yours too!
10:00 pm
mrpresident
fasting vs starvation... very different jac... promise.
10:02 pm
Jacula
Noy yjat different, MrP. You get a high after 4 or 5 weeks on the empty feeling and the control you have.
10:03 pm
jmcnrick

hi trif how is drama land?
10:05 pm

Keyboard needs cleaning again and I might also need to sober up. 4 glasses of Chardonna.
10:06 pm
Trifioso
no drama today at all. lovely birthday party for my mom, good food and friends, my lovely mom. happiness
10:06 pm
Andree
hi trif, i am still laughing over the wedding photos
10:06 pm
Jacula
Or even chardonnnay.
10:06 pm
jmcnrick
that's nice to hear trif
10:06 pm
Trifioso
which wedding photos, hon?
10:06 pm
jmcnrick
only 4? you should be rock hard sober
10:06 pm
Jacula
Trif - glad to hear you had a nice, famil and gentle day.
10:07 pm
Andree
the ones your ex wanted for his walls
10:07 pm
Trifioso
oh, that! whatevs. he can have them
10:07 pm
Jacula
jmc - should I?
10:07 pm
jmcnrick
lol jac just teasing a little
10:08 pm
jmcnrick
it usually take more wine than that for me
10:08 pm
Jacula
jmc - there's something you should know - after 12 years of drinking too much, our liver softens and can't take so much. That is the time to slowly cut down and then maybe stop drinking.
10:09 pm
jmcnrick
maybe so
10:09 pm
Andree
two glasses is my limit , if i have more i need to puke
10:09 pm
Jacula
Or maybe only drink with meals at weekends.
10:10 pm
Trifioso
jac, do you find a difference between white and red wine? I find I can drink a few glasses of red wine with no problem at all, but white wine goes right to my head - one and a half glasses, tops!
10:10 pm
Trifioso
jac, do you find a difference between white and red wine? I find I can drink a few glasses of red wine with no problem at all, but white wine goes right to my head - one and a half glasses, tops!
10:11 pm
Andree
i am allergic to white wine, never used to be but the last 10 years red is my drop
10:11 pm
mrpresident
my liver function test was a shocker!! It is now back to normal
10:11 pm
Trifioso
are you allergic to white grapes too?
10:12 pm
Trifioso
or is it the tannic acid or something that you react to?
10:13 pm
Jacula
Trif - since dry white's my tipple, I could drink it endlessly but never really liked red very much. It was vinegary. However, since Beloved has been here with his small stock of merlot or cabernet sauvigignon, I've developed a taste. Doesn't get you drunk so quickly but , due to the tannin, give you a hangover next day.
10:13 pm
Andree
no trif, i believe the whites are aged differently
10:14 pm
Jacula
Andree - it could (your allegry) be due to the preservatives used to make white wine.
10:14 pm
o-o
and if you cannot enjoy the benefit of a hangover, well, why even drink?
10:15 pm
Andree
probably jac
10:17 pm
Andree
due to my strange metabolism, i am sick if i drink too much i have never had a hangover
10:17 pm
jmcnrick
i like it better when I skip the hangover myself BR
10:17 pm
Jacula
White wine is preserved with isinglass - a substance obtained from the swimbladders of fish (especially Beluga sturgeon). It is a form of collagen used mainly for the clarification of wine and beer.
10:17 pm
jmcnrick
I wonder if my vegan friends know that?
10:18 pm
Jacula
I had no thought or intention of drinking earlier, but Beloed and his daughter had drinks by thieir side as we settled down to watch TV. So, I poured one glass...
10:19 pm
jmcnrick
wow three homers BR that must have been SOME game
10:19 pm
Jacula
jmc - They probably do. Well, drinkers in the 70s knew that1
10:19 pm
TraderKate
