6:57 am

sprite

lolll indeed, that is an intense combination, Trif

6:58 am

Trifioso

actually, I would be a bit leery of materials used in stage construction. usually over here they are coated in all sorts of flame retardant and other fixatives that are appropriate for industrial use, but I wouldn't want it near skin or breathed near too often....

6:58 am

sprite

argh, the voice of common sense. You are too right, Trif.

6:58 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning the I have 10 left and the st's are killing me

Marc Freeman

Sorry, I embarrassed all my kids with the girl and boy friends. Especially the boys who dated my girls. I automatically hated them and was not shy about telling them so. Panko is a Japenese breading. Very light and wonderful to work with.

Christine

Trifioso - panko is Japanese breadcrumbs.

7:09 am

Trifioso

Green I was talking the other day to a friend about this site that sells goods that help animals and people and how one handbag is hand made and $250 Aus and my mum agrees that she would rather me spend my money (invisible at the moment) on something like that than a Fendii or Marc Jacobs bag ($500 - $2000 Aus)

7:13 am

JBV

bye everyone - good luck with the grid - see you later

7:14 am

Trifioso

7:17 am

Wolvie

this should be interesting...

7:17 am

sprite

shoot, Trif. Socially embarrassing is one of my strong points

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

7:18 am

sprite

yvw Marc

7:18 am

Trifioso

except now, I forget who goes with what babble name - is there a way to tag connections on facebook with nicknames or something?

7:18 am

Wolvie

it is hard trif - my name is Sue Duff - hope that helps. :-)

7:18 am

Trifioso

I can do it for my email address book, but have yet to find a way to do it in facebook

7:18 am

sprite

lollll Trif, I had the same thing! I put my babble name into my facebook name to solve it.

7:19 am

sprite

I believe fb is not outfitted with a help tool like that

7:19 am

Wolvie

that's what I did sort of - I put my babble name on my profile page

7:19 am

herinfernallady

It has a little thingy under your profile you can write a line about you

7:19 am

herinfernallady

It has a little thingy under your profile you can write a line about you

Trifioso

I am so embarrassed...

7:20 am

sprite

don't be, I think many people have the same problem, Trif :)

7:20 am

Trifioso

I can't bear the thought of having to write a note to all these lovely people that I probably speak to every day, asking them who they are on babble....I am such a meathead. Do'nt let your sons date me!

7:21 am

sprite

side note: could somebody please st4 me from entering bison? It is driving me nuts.

7:21 am

thanks Trif!

7:22 am

Trifioso

my daughter who is 13, seems to be stealth dating, so maybe she would enjoy going out with a 13 year old in amsterdam. Then she could TELL everyone she had a beau, but not actually have to deal with one

7:23 am

Marc Freeman

I am finished and have to get ready to work. Thanks for everything. Sprite now I am curious who made the breaded flounder. I know you were on the chat at the time yesterday. It is going to drive me crazy all day

7:23 am

Trifioso

go back in the archives and search for it, marc

7:23 am

sprite

marc, if you go to the archives, you can do a search on bread flounder. I don't remember, but you should be able to find it fast that way. (control F on a windows)

7:23 am

Marc Freeman

Too lazy

7:23 am

Trifioso

I loved Monsters. It made me feel better. Since I used to have monsters in my closet when I was a child. Still can't go to bed without closing the closet doors.

7:59 am

DR1965

Uneaixoise

wonderful movie!

8:00 am

Anniebrook

Hi Une!

8:00 am

Uneaixoise

hey, annie :-)

8:00 am

Judi

Exactly, Une! I had sliding closet doors and I swore I could hear them opening!

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

I could also "see" things lurking under my bed (which was on casters) -- would leap from the door to the bed so "they" couldn't grab my feet -- bed would go flying against the wall LOL!

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Une, I just love all your "old" or should I say vintage pictures.

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

8:02 am

DR1965

lol ... a different movie all together Evan : )

8:03 am

Judi

I would leap from my bed out into the hallway so the under-the-bed monsters wouldn't snatch my ankles.

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

what a pair we are, judi! LOL

8:03 am

EvaNadine

im pretty sure my dad told me they did... i think he thought i would imagine them dancing and having fun, but instead, i was convinced they were gonna get me....heh

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

oh no, Eva!

8:04 am

Judi

We obviously had the same childhood, Une.

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

Eva, it freaks me out every time I take my dogs out to pee after dark and they stop stock still and stare at something I can't see!!

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

of course, these are the same dogs that "point" trash bags out by the street!

8:06 am

herinfernallady

Une they do that I swear we used to have ghost kitties in our house. We would hear a second set of paw prints with only 1 cat in the house or the end of the bed would get heavy and kind of purr like a kitty was there

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

herin, AAACCKK!!

8:07 am

9:51 am

dcseain

huh. it took the capital of Massachusetts.

9:52 am

dcseain

apparently due to having a violet named after it.

9:52 am

sprite

yes, isn't it cool :D

9:52 am

Vicuna

I thought it was a card game and a dance.
Hello, all.

9:53 am

sprite

yes but those are capitalised and hence not the babble meaning. Hi Vic

9:53 am

dcseain

i know of neither, but both are as likely, vi :) hello

9:53 am

dcseain

and yes, sprite, once i overcame my surprise

9:53 am

dcseain

funny that after all these years with ENABLE it can still surprise me. :)

9:53 am

Vicuna

According to the question mark those are both lower case. But I never heard of either of them before, either.

9:54 am

sprite

being surprised is great too

9:54 am

dcseain

ah, i used define function in Google, instead of ?, as i find dictionary.com almost as dubious as ENABLE

9:54 am

harpjane

there's a card game today?

9:54 am

Vicuna

whist-like, apparently, harpjane.

9:54 am

dcseain

i vote for euchre

9:56 am

harpjane

what's the one that takes two decks? canasta?

9:56 am

Vicuna

My plain-old actual book dictionary lists Bo6 baked beans, brown bread, bull terrier, cream pie, fern, ivy, lettuce, Massacr, rocker, and Tea Party, all uppoer case. But no violets, card games OR dances! lol

9:57 am

Judi

Babble: where we're all lost in obscurity.

9:57 am

sprite

I don't use the q marks, I like infoplease

9:57 am

sprite

hi Judi, obscurity being another nice babble word!

9:57 am

dcseain

the violet dates to 1987 - http://tinyurl.com/yzyuqeu

9:58 am

dcseain

yay for obscurity! Hi, Judi

9:59 am

Vicuna

I like to think of it not so much as being lost in obscurity as simply wandering in obscurity without a defined destination.

9:59 am

sprite

and of course also the real book dictionaries... I have lots of those

10:00 am

Vicuna

Divagations in Obscurity, if you will...

10:01 am

sprite

topscurity, of course

10:01 am

Judi

Then, after you go nuts, you'd be a victim of obsquirrelity.

10:02 am

harpjane

i love book dictionaries and thesauri

10:02 am

sprite

I think in my case it would be obesquirrelity

10:02 am

Vicuna

I suppose there are really two issues with the definitions, though. One is what the word means, and the other is what Enable thinks the word means.

10:03 am

sprite

third is what we all agree it should mean

10:04 am

Vicuna

And no doubt that's the most important one of all! As Humpty Dumpty says, It's a matter of who's in charge, us or the words.

10:04 am

sprite

:D

10:05 am

Merk

po 6 clue please

Oops, yes, I can make correct sentences, but obviously not always.

10:07 am

Vicuna

My first sp5 - place for a facial plus greeting

10:07 am

compounds. I want them stricken from enable.

10:08 am

sprite

that's my first too

10:08 am

Vicuna

Now now, sprite. Let us not be vengeful.

10:08 am

Judi

Got it. Ty.

10:09 am

sprite

*mumbles something about being able to spell vengeful gives the right to be vengeful*

10:10 am

Vicuna

Oh dear. She's muttering again. Must be the obsquirrelty.

10:10 am

sprite

obesesquirreality even

10:10 am

harpjane

3 more words then I get breakfast

10:11 am

Vicuna

Wow, you are a stern taskmaster, harpjane!

my daughter is riding a monocycle atm. I call it half a bike.

10:17 am

Vicuna

Is a monocycle different from a unicycle?

10:18 am

Vicuna

Or is it, for example, like a bicycle that you can wear in one eye?

10:18 am

sprite

no, probably the only difference is that unicycle is the correct word and monocycle a pathetic attempt of a dutch girl to get the meaning across

10:18 am

FMitch

lol!

10:18 am

Vicuna

lol! =)

10:18 am

sprite

;)

10:19 am

FMitch

the fact that she is riding one has to be applauded though!

10:19 am

Vicuna

Indeed!

10:19 am

Merk

Fireworks ... my clue for the day before I leave ... there are a ton of words that end in 'al'.

10:19 am

Judi

I was wondering what a monocycle might be. Thought perhaps it was some euro trend that we yanks hadn't heard about yet.

10:19 am

sprite

oh yes! And she is GOOD!

10:19 am

10:22 am

sprite

enjoy immensely, FM

10:23 am

Vicuna

Thanks for the wishes, all. (He's sitting here reading the chat and trying to find me words while I make a sandwich.)

10:23 am

Vicuna

Yum, pizza!

10:23 am

dcseain

Pizza is a happy.

10:25 am

FMitch

OK so I spelt it wrong and I am going to pile on a load of calories for eating it but I dont care!!!! *grin*

10:28 am

dcseain

*offers FM some ice cream to have with or after her pizza*

10:29 am

FMitch

LO you devil you - what flavour just out of interest?

10:29 am

sprite

*slips in some cookies to go with the ice cream*

10:30 am

harpjane

perfect! i'm having four front teeth extracted the day before Halloween! What a lovely costume I will have!

10:30 am

dcseain

Southern Chocolate - imagine the creamiest choc milkshake ever, but frozen

10:30 am

harpjane

(speaking of ice cream....)

10:31 am

sprite

aw harpjane :(

Reminds me of a silly RnR Xmas song... "All I want for Xmas is my two front teeth..."

10:31 am

jmcnrick

you can wear cowboy clothes and straw in your hair

10:31 am

harpjane

yup it's my new theme song

10:32 am

sprite

' jee oh jee, how happy I would be, if I could only wiffle..."

10:32 am

FMitch

Oh sprite I was going to type that too!
harp - I wish you well!

10:32 am

sprite

;) FM... sharing a brainwave, we two

10:32 am

dcseain

i hope the extrations go well for you, jane

10:33 am

sprite

I hope it goes well, harpjane, and with very little pain

10:33 am

FMitch

dc - I can honestly say I have never had a milkshake in any form so I feel I am missing a taste experience.

10:33 am

jmcnrick

really? that is a deprivation FM

10:34 am

car.eeyore

Get thee to a creamery!

10:34 am

dcseain

wow. that's impressive to go so long w/out one.

10:34 am

FMitch

anyway must return to the kitchen and my 'fast' food.
yes really jmc and lol car.

10:34 am

sprite

FM, you barbarian!

10:34 am

harpjane

I am actually sort of excited about it since these particular teeth have been bothering me since 1974! It's been sort of a waiting game to see when they would finally wear out. But being toothless on Haloween, now THAT"s like a dream come true!

10:34 am

dcseain

LOL jane

10:35 am

dcseain

you'll get a bridge, i'm guessing?

10:35 am

sprite

jane you rock!

10:35 am

harpjane

and i won't have to buy any of that cheapo fake blood either!

10:35 am

harpjane

yah, either a bridge or implants. i think it depends on how much my dentist needs for his new boat....

10:36 am

dcseain

implants are preferred

10:37 am

harpjane

he'll get a nicer boat that way so that's what he's thinking. It depends on whether I have any decent bone left....

10:38 am

dcseain

yeah. i need to get 2 molars extracted and a bone graft for my lower left rear. The bone is solid, but partially atrophied due to my ignoring the problem for WAY too long

10:39 am

harpjane

I'm more worried about the bone graft idea than anything else, my bil had a hard time with his

10:40 am

sprite

bone grafts are nasty. Will think of you both.

10:42 am

dcseain

ty, sprite

10:45 am

dcseain

huh. i'd never seen that spelling variant of 2nd sw4 before

10:46 am

sprite

now if I only knew if my second was your second, grin

10:46 am

dcseain

there are only 2 sw4 :)

10:47 am

sprite

ok! That one reminds of CSI. For DNA.

10:47 am

dcseain

yep. usually with an A

10:48 am

sprite

ah ok. See, sometimes it is an advantage to know little :)

10:49 am

10:51 am

flosey

10:51 am

dcseain

10:52 am

sprite

bye flosey, enjoy! *hug*

10:52 am

flosey

I refreshed a couple of times, turned right off and back on twice, just a strange little quirk I have acquired

10:52 am

saw your note about implants DC... I've put mine off for over 8 years since having two molars extracted... no bone atrophy yet, but I'm really pressing my luck

11:02 am

nrkii

I was planning to get implants this year, then ended up out of work, so letting it slide more....

11:03 am

harpjane

I think I have bone atrophy even though I have teeth still. I should post a picture lol!

11:03 am

sprite

5 forgotten plurals! Am I out of training or what :(

11:04 am

harpjane

I'm hoping to get it done next tax year, then I can use my flexible spending medical account. Trouble is, if it doesn't happen, I would be looking for something else to use my medical money on. How many pairs of eyeglasses can one person buy?

I suppose I could get lasix surgery if it came right down to it, or go to mexico for something that wouldn't be covered by my insurance.

12:52 pm

Trifioso

btw, who is the really nice lady over in Japan? Ardilla, maybe? has she been around lately?

12:52 pm

Scrabbler

Trif, new job is heaven, well almost. Co-workers are kind, supportive, competent and with stable egos--total contrast to prior job setting. But we are crazy busy with H1N1 disease + associated frenzy/anxiety

12:52 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Kallia

12:53 pm

dcseain

congrats, kallia

12:53 pm

Kallia

next time all bye

12:54 pm

kje

hi bgh

12:54 pm

Scrabbler

Locally I think the vast majority, if not all, school kids have been infected or exposed to H1N1 virus, so the vaccine is too late for this group

12:54 pm

Scrabbler

Rwanda? Whoa!

12:54 pm

jmcnrick

*sitting in pb for earlier conversation with sprite about computers*

12:54 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Une = Torgone

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

hmmm. i wonder if I should try to get my kids vaccinated? I should think it would be hard to find the vaccine at this point

12:55 pm

12:58 pm

jmcnrick

12:58 pm

dcseain

lovely photo, une

12:58 pm

Uneaixoise

seain, is Tom still making good progress?

12:58 pm

At my previous practice I cared for a family from the Rwanda/Burundi area. The father escaped 9 yrs ago, mother 7, with now 2 little kids. They finally felt it was safe to visit remaining family this past spring. Their eyes reveal sadness yet they smile and express such gratitude.

1:01 pm

Uneaixoise

incredible inner strength

1:02 pm

AsGreen

Scrabs, it's amazing - the HOPE they convey. So different than Americans recovering from tragedy (sweeping generalization (sp?) ....)

1:02 pm

jmcnrick

I have gotten a splash of life in Rwanda/Burundi as the Quaker Peace Maker teams come back and forth -- imagine sitting down with your torturer!

1:02 pm

AsGreen

I know jmc, unreal right?

1:03 pm

AsGreen

or your family's killers

1:03 pm

Trifioso

wow, serioulsy jmc? that sounds amazing. have you gotten to sit in on some of the sessions?

1:03 pm

Uneaixoise

trif, PBS had a documentary about it recently -- hard to imagine

1:04 pm

Trifioso

actually, une (imagine this next sentence in the wriest tone you can imagine) I have now been to several four-way lawyer meetings, so I think maybe I can imagine it....

1:04 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, asg, such gratitude for being alive, for having a job, for having a place to live.

1:05 pm

Uneaixoise

trif LOL!! Sorry, you CAN imagine!

1:05 pm

Trifioso

:) une

1:05 pm

jmcnrick

some of the stories are really chilling

1:05 pm

Uneaixoise

there was a woman in the PBS documentary who sat down and talked with her nextdoor neighbor who had killed her family . . .

1:06 pm

Trifioso

man, I am going to have to search for this documentary. I want to see how they coped

1:06 pm

Trifioso

was the neighbor sorry? was the woman able to process the neighbor's feelings? it is almost beyond the scope to imagine such a metting

1:06 pm

Trifioso

meeting

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

a f(F)riend of mine just came back after spending some time there with the story of the woman who carried her husbands head around since she had married outside of her tribe and they came and cut his head off in front of here and her children

1:07 pm

Uneaixoise

the neighbor was mostly 'embarassed" -- she was able to forgive him -- can't imagine how

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

there is a whole program of reconciliation where this is happening a bit at a time

1:07 pm

Trifioso

oh, jmc.....there are no words, are there?

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

there is a lot of back work done with both sides long before they meet

1:08 pm

mom2han8

It's a shame to say it, but these poor souls are so used to tragedy and torture... they have never known peace.

Hi Scrabbs... and all the rest!

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

hi mom

1:09 pm

Trifioso

the only even remotely close knowledge I have in such matters comes via a friend who adopted two children from India, one who was in an orphange since infancy, and then, a few years later, another girl who had lived on the street for a while.

1:09 pm

mom2han8

My computer is sooooo slow... ugh!

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

asgreen I think you are doing wonderful work! thank you.

1:10 pm

jmcnrick

I was on the board of aglion for a short while but its meetings always conflicted with my organizations board meetings so i quit

1:10 pm

Trifioso

the first girl acclimated to the family without a hiccup, but the second girl was a whole different matter. She just could not understand that she was safe now - she took food out of the fridge and kept it in her shoes, hidden under beds, beat up the older girl for toys, even though there was plenty for both, etc. Poor little mite, she had just no concept of peace. Took YEARS of very loving work

1:11 pm

AsGreen

ok, I'm off my call. oh, thanks jmc - that's nice to hear. It's incredibly rewarding work too - they really soaked up any help we could offer them (in terms of training, etc.)

1:11 pm

Trifioso

thanks so much for sharing the blog, asgreen!

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

and so which smiling woman in the photos are you asgreen? the color of shirt is sufficient

1:12 pm

AsGreen

I'm glad you all are so interested in reading it Tri. Of course, at the asyv.org site there are ways to help/donate etc. I won't know either way (I'm just a volunteer), so no pressure. Just letting you guys know about it

1:12 pm

AsGreen

I'm in purple

1:15 pm

AsGreen

and, btw, that blog has pages and pages of prior teams from my husband's company of people who have gone - so you can trace the progression fom over the past year. This is his company's (Liquidnet - an investment bank of sorts) primary philanthropy

1:17 pm

AsGreen

uh oh, I silenced the group! :)

1:18 pm

dcseain

well, mid-afteroon grid time is quieter than other times

1:18 pm

hi Scrabs and bye

1:42 pm

Scrabbler

I am a bit miffed actually as it is my day off, but I am on call and must fulfill my on call responsibilities.

1:43 pm

Wolvie

you leaving lynxx?

1:43 pm

AsGreen

11 to go, all s words

1:43 pm

lynxxx

Just saying goodbye to Scrabs

1:43 pm

Wolvie

oh - lol - sorry

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

I have to start in the office at 4:30--just under 2 hrs from now.

1:44 pm

AsGreen

Scrabbs, are you leaving - was going to ask your opinion about the h1n1 vaccine. I'm avoiding it for me and the fam.....thoguths?

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

Go asg go!

1:45 pm

Wolvie

jeez - those a's shouldn't have taken me this long. wowsa

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

Why avoid it? Seaonal flu vaccine is new every year--3 strains every year, changing year to year, and H1N1 disease appeared on scene AFTER decision was set for '09-'10 seasonal vaccine, thus a second flu vaccine, with just H1N1 strain is needed. Same manufacturers. nothing "new" about it at all. It's just that 4 strains are being covered this year.

1:47 pm

Uneaixoise

aacckk, finally tore myself away from Bananagrams on Facebook!

1:47 pm

Atalante

Bananagrams???

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

I will check that out, Une.

1:47 pm

Wolvie

banana grams? is this another game?

1:47 pm

Wolvie

hi une. ;-)

1:47 pm

lynxxx

hi Une

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

any chance to boost one's immune system (army) is a good idea.

1:47 pm

Uneaixoise

very addictive! like Scrabble and others of its ilk :-)

1:48 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, lynxxx and wolvie :-)

1:48 pm

Wolvie

oh no. I just started lex. lol

1:48 pm

Atalante

any reason to have flu jab / swine jab after just having flu? *adds to quick fire questions*!

1:48 pm

Scrabbler

Does that make sense, asg?

1:48 pm

AsGreen

hmmm, I'm not a big believer in the flu shot as it is. We got them this year as a precautionary prior to our travel, but overall, I'd prefer not to get 'em. And then I read something about these 28 pregnant women who died after getting the h1n1....

1:48 pm

Scrabbler

You are probably immune to H1N1 noew, Ata.

1:49 pm

AsGreen

I also heard that the actual h1n1 virus really isn't so bad if you do catch it. I don't know....

1:49 pm

Atalante

I thought that would be the case. TY!

1:49 pm

Atalante

it can be, ASG

1:50 pm

AsGreen

8 to go, btw, all st words

1:50 pm

Scrabbler

My perspective has changed over the last several yrs and I do now get my flu vaccine every year. Flu is typically not life-threatening but it predisposes one to secondary bacterial complications that can be fatal.

1:50 pm

Atalante

don't know whether it was flu or swine flu, but I was about 0.0005% away from phoning an ambulance cos I couldn't breathe - but I have asthma on top of flu

1:50 pm

Scrabbler

Most people with H1N1 disease have mild-moderate symptoms and it is milder than what is seen with seasonal flu.

1:51 pm

Wolvie

oh wow ata - glad you recovered without intervention, but that must have been scary

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

Asthm placed you at risk, Ata.

1:51 pm

Atalante

yes ... for one night I was really quite worried!

1:52 pm

Scrabbler

Again, I think that an opportunity to build up one's army against the bad guys is a very good thing.

1:52 pm

AsGreen

glad you are ok Ata; and still not sure Scrabbs! :)

1:52 pm

Scrabbler

www.cdc.gov or www.who.int = top references

1:53 pm

Atalante

I actually to start with thought I had food poisoning - I spent all night on the loo dying, with an asthma attack on top of that. Then just didn't get better, and started all the classic symptoms of flu. Took me about 7 days to feel any better, even with tamiflu

1:53 pm

AsGreen

I think the sn5/6/7 are made up words, lol

1:53 pm

Atalante

and now, nerly 2 weeks later I still feel pretty much like crap

1:53 pm

Wolvie

i need one o - i have ob 4 - what is the other?

1:53 pm

Atalante

(just saying randomly what flu here was like!)

1:54 pm

Scrabbler

It is a gamble, asg. The way I see it is I would not regret getting the seasonal/H1N1 vaccines but I could regret NOT getting them.

1:54 pm

Wolvie

really ata? still feeling unwell? Maybe you should go round to a doc just for a check

1:54 pm

lynxxx

Glad you are nearly OK Ata, you sound like an advertisement for getting the shot.

1:54 pm

Atalante

I was feeling better! then today I just started shivering and temperature again. Gah!!

1:54 pm

AsGreen

fireworks for me...yay! fun to be back in babbleland!

1:55 pm

Wolvie

ty for those asg - as soon as you posted that - i remembered those words

1:55 pm

Wolvie

WTG AsG

1:55 pm

Scrabbler

yahoo asg!!

1:55 pm

lynxxx

Wolvie - ow4.8

1:55 pm

Wolvie

doc for you ata!!

1:55 pm

lynxxx

Congrats AsGreen

1:55 pm

Scrabbler

Ata, you might have secondary pneumonia--get yourself to a doc!

1:56 pm

AsGreen

I know scrabbs, usually I'm very logical about this sort of thing, but for some reason, every year, I get more philosophical and "gut feeling"-ish about the flu shot...lol (no pun intended)

1:56 pm

Wolvie

ty lynxx

1:56 pm

lynxxx

be told Ata!

1:57 pm

AsGreen

the o's are oa4, oa4, ob4, ow4

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

Hype from emotional/non-scientific anti-vaccine folks allows emotions to cloud reason.

1:57 pm

AsGreen

ooooh, and look at the time - time to go meet the kiddos! See you guys later. Great catching up w/y'all - and thanks for letting me share my adventures w/you!

1:57 pm

Wolvie

bye AsG

1:58 pm

Scrabbler

Bye asg, ty for O clues

1:58 pm

AsGreen

I know Scrabb - but clouded it is! lol

1:58 pm

lynxxx

seeya AsG

1:58 pm

AsGreen

bye! ****poof***

1:58 pm

Scrabbler

What are the sneaky sn words? I have sn4 x2

1:59 pm

Wolvie

sn first vowel, **en 2 consonsonants, then add another vowel for the 6, THen plural for the 7. :-)

1:59 pm

Atalante

luckily I have a blood test booked on monday, so will ask nurse then and she'll get me an appt if necessary :)

2:00 pm

Wolvie

very good ata - smart

2:01 pm

Atalante

got too much to do to have pneumonia! that hurts!

2:01 pm

Wolvie

could be the "walking" kind - just (ahem) bogs you down

2:01 pm

Atalante

bloody bogs lol

2:02 pm

Wolvie

couldn't resist

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

TY, wolvie!

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

Ata, if you get worse in the next 1-2 days promise me you will get evaluated before Monday!

2:02 pm

Wolvie

good scrabs - i was afraid it would not make sense, lol

2:03 pm

Atalante

oh I will, don't worry!

2:03 pm

Wolvie

cool beans ata

2:03 pm

Atalante

I'm very very alert with anything to do with lungs. Comes from yesras of asthma hospitalisation!

2:04 pm

Wolvie

I bet you are - asthma, from a nonsufferers's prospective, is frightening enough. From you view, it can only be worse

2:05 pm

Atalante

I dont' really have problems, I'm very lucky. I don't have exercise-related asthma, just pollution-related problems. So as long as the air is clear, I'm fine. Every harvest season - nightmare!

2:06 pm

Wolvie

well - that is something at least. :-)

2:07 pm

Wolvie

yay! g's done

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

Ok, I am going to shower and get ready for on call office work starting in 90 minutes.

2:07 pm

Atalante

oh yes, could be amillion times worse!

2:08 pm

Wolvie

2:21 pm

Wolvie

hi Katie

2:22 pm

Atalante

next yearish :)

2:22 pm

Atalante

not for a good while, the only advantage of signing up sooner is more time to get sponsorshop

2:22 pm

Atalante

*ship!!

2:23 pm

KatieMcG

Ok so it's you and Liz signed up so far?

2:24 pm

Atalante

I haven't signed up yet, but I'm definitely going to

2:24 pm

Atalante

Liz has signed up

2:27 pm

KatieMcG

2:27 pm

Atalante

2:28 pm

Atalante

2:28 pm

Wolvie

2:28 pm

KatieMcG

Â£3000 each lol

2:28 pm

Atalante

Â£3000

2:28 pm

Wolvie

whoa. a princely sum

2:29 pm

Atalante

but a year and a half to do it in!

2:29 pm

Wolvie

ah. well - that certainly helps. This is like the jump, yes? Can US residents donate?

2:29 pm

Atalante

oh yes, everyone can :D

2:30 pm

Wolvie

2:31 pm

KatieMcG

2:31 pm

Wolvie

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

Atalante

2:31 pm

Wolvie

2:32 pm

Wolvie

2:32 pm

Wolvie

I just did a bike ride for ms here in the states not long ago

2:33 pm

Atalante

2:33 pm

Atalante

2:33 pm

Wolvie

2:34 pm

Atalante

my best friend hasit

2:34 pm

Wolvie

we do the diabetes walk too - and cancer. All great causes

2:35 pm

Wolvie

my sister is lucky - she has the remission type - she takes a daily injection to help her out - she does quite well.

2:35 pm

Atalante

wonderful! you're amazing :)

2:35 pm

Atalante

interferon or the copaxone?

2:35 pm

Wolvie

here in the states, if she should lose her job, she could not be insured. this stuff costs much moola too

2:35 pm

Wolvie

she does copaxone -

2:35 pm

Atalante

does it ever!

2:36 pm

KatieMcG

we were just talking about ms at work today one of our work partners has it and it is the aggressive type so he has had to give up work at 45. It's so sad he has 4 children

2:36 pm

Atalante

best friend too ... though she's thinking of changing cos she's getting weirdo side effects now

2:36 pm

Wolvie

the interferon gave her incredible emotional swings. She has been on the copax for around 18 years

2:36 pm

Atalante

that's awful :(

2:36 pm

KatieMcG

things like this does prove the value of the NHS

2:36 pm

Atalante

18 years!!!!!!

2:36 pm

Atalante

wow!!

2:36 pm

Wolvie

Pat is very stable on the copax - in fact, her last mri showed improvement

2:36 pm

Atalante

ayla's been on it for a few years now. but she's started to get huge hot flushes and dizziness after injection

2:37 pm

Wolvie

she was diagnosed in 88 - one year or so on interferon/betaseron, then copax

2:38 pm

Wolvie

wow. Pat had those problems with the other. There is a new med out now too I think. I will have to ask Pat tonite - we go out for a ladies drink nite on fridays. :-)

2:38 pm

KatieMcG

did I tell you we have a sponsor child in Haiti now?

2:38 pm

Atalante

oh wonderful! if you could ....

2:38 pm

Atalante

no!!!

2:38 pm

Wolvie

2:38 pm

Wolvie

2:40 pm

Wolvie

2:40 pm

Wolvie

I will have to look into that katie - is it thru your church then?

2:40 pm

Vicuna

po6 - bloke with a cooking vessel

2:41 pm

Wolvie

ty vic! and hello

2:41 pm

KatieMcG

it's through an organisation called compassion which is a Christian organisation but helps all faiths

2:41 pm

Vicuna

Hello, all!

2:41 pm

Wolvie

i got the computer, you would think i would see that combo. lol

2:41 pm

Wolvie

okay katie - i will look for it

2:42 pm

Wolvie

2:42 pm

Atalante

2:43 pm

KatieMcG

2:43 pm

Wolvie

lol ata

2:43 pm

Wolvie

fireworks

2:43 pm

KatieMcG

Wolvie we had exactly the same experience that's why I was so pleased to find compassion. They also let you send gifts but they are cash and limited which I think is a good thing

2:44 pm

Wolvie

can you believe it? my last word was the eo 4. LOL

2:44 pm

KatieMcG

it is expensive though as it costs Â£21 per month

2:44 pm

Atalante

why Haiti?

2:44 pm

Wolvie

good to know katie

2:44 pm

Wolvie

so roughly 42 bucks a mo***? not bad really.

2:45 pm

Wolvie

sure vic. ;-)

2:45 pm

KatieMcG

you could chose a country and Olden was 3 1/2 which I thought was a good age and Haiti is next to the dominican republic which we have been to but is much poorer with less opportunity for the children

2:45 pm

Wolvie

any clues before i head out for the day?

2:45 pm

Atalante

I wondered if it had to do with the D. R.

2:46 pm

Vicuna

Ataaaaaaaa!

2:46 pm

Atalante

2:46 pm

KatieMcG

3:04 pm

Atalante

3:05 pm

Atalante

3:05 pm

jacq

3:05 pm

Atalante

3:05 pm

Atalante

3:06 pm

jacq

3:13 pm

Atalante

3:14 pm

Atalante

that's like my husband buying vegetable Philadelphia for a cheesecake

3:14 pm

jacq

3:14 pm

jacq

Atalante

oooo I think you should. for scientic study, of course

3:15 pm

jacq

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

i think the banoffee is too sweet for my occasional lapses on the no sugar in my diet

3:16 pm

jacq

probably jmc, it is really really sweet

3:16 pm

Atalante

if you make it with a very plain base, not sugary, it kinda balances out

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

3:16 pm

jacq

you could try it with a cheesecake base

3:17 pm

Atalante

3:27 pm

Vicuna

3:27 pm

Vicuna

There, jacq. If they recycled UNused condoms would you be able to ride the bikes?

3:27 pm

jacq

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

I would ride them but it looses some the green if you recycle an unused product

3:28 pm

Atalante

maybe the tour de britain

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

3:48 pm

Vicuna

Who you callin' a liar, Kris?

3:49 pm

Atalante

totally changing the subject - Vi, have you ever tried doing any Escher type prints?

3:49 pm

Vicuna

No, I haven't got the technical skill for that kind of detail, alas. Why?

3:49 pm

Atalante

I am ....

3:49 pm

Atalante

LOL

3:50 pm

Vicuna

Etchings, or drawings?

3:50 pm

Atalante

drawings. thats hard enough!!!

3:50 pm

Atalante

I'm being quite amazed at how it twiddles your mind

3:50 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, I would think so! But I have fooled around with tesselations some.

3:51 pm

Atalante

fun, though, isn't it? I'm trying to do a tessellation of "angels and demons"

3:51 pm

Vicuna

That should be cool. How's it coming?

3:52 pm

Atalante

very very slowly LOL. I just pulled it out again, hence the question

3:52 pm

Atalante

the angels are easy, trying to con the devils into fitting is harder

3:53 pm

Vicuna

The one trick I've played with is taking a base shape, like rectangle, and then if you cut bits out and attach them back on somewhere else around the edge, no matter how complicated your shape it will always tesselate.

3:53 pm

Atalante

I'm trying that ... sort of ... but just drawing it out. I'm going to have very strange shaped devils :D

3:54 pm

Vicuna

Well, devils are warped, right?

3:54 pm

Atalante

that's my theory :P

3:54 pm

Atalante

I'll let you know how it goes

3:54 pm

Vicuna

=)

3:55 pm

Vicuna

I want to see a picture at some point.

3:55 pm

Atalante

Im quite mad

3:55 pm

hurshy

well hello, lady audley

3:55 pm

Atalante

oh sure!

3:55 pm

Vicuna

I'm doing rooster and chicken next, with fancy borders, and all sorts of doodley patterns to make up the feathers.

3:56 pm

Vicuna

Well, yes, but it's all part of your ineffable charm.

3:56 pm

Atalante

I'm trying to decide at the moment whether to go to the extra effort to try and make each angel and demon different, giving one a sword for Michael, one a key for Uriel etc etc

3:56 pm

Vicuna

Hello, hurshy!

3:56 pm

Atalante

hi smurshy!

3:56 pm

hurshy

hiya

3:56 pm

Vicuna

Oh, that would be very cool, Ata!

KrisE

hi hurshy

3:57 pm

hurshy

marty's trying to decide whether to stay on my lap or go see the shower.

3:57 pm

Atalante

3:57 pm

Atalante

4:27 pm

wildcat17

4:27 pm

Jellen

4:27 pm

4:31 pm

jacq

not too shabby for the govt, but better than expected

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

in the us you can off set gambling loses only against wins and you must have a receipt

4:31 pm

Jellen

That's presuming no other income though, right, jmc?

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

maybe the win/loss records from the casino will work I am not too familiar with real casinos

4:32 pm

jmcnrick

yes that is right jellen but it does give you a ball park to know how much you can safely blow

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

but that is only the federal take, ok will want its share too

4:33 pm

Jellen

I'm blowing just a bit at a time...my totally frivolous purchase was a Pandora bracelet with a money bag charm...

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

5:21 pm

KrisE

just got jmc's clue - woohoo! (tired today)

5:21 pm

Dorens

i would almost always go to paris anytime i could.... but there is something to be said for nice warm tropical beaches in the winter. still if i had my choice i think i'd try paris for noel and a beach in february

5:21 pm

Atalante

orrrrrrrr New Zealand or Aus or any small tropical island or South Africa

5:22 pm

KatieMcG

here with Bry, Mum & Dad, but if I went away again the only place I would go would be to Canada to see Diem and Mrs Diem

5:22 pm

Dorens

i'd like to go to egypt... somehow i think there might be a bit less of the christmas spirit there than elsewhere

5:22 pm

Atalante

it's not very christmassy there, but it's really lovely

5:23 pm

Dorens

beautiful silverclaw picture ata.

5:23 pm

Atalante

TY TY :) she's such a darling

5:23 pm

KatieMcG

if I wanted to escape the whole Christmas thing I would go on a safari

5:24 pm

Dorens

she does look a lot like my lucy, but lucy is no darling.

5:24 pm

FMitch

Sorry - just got distracted as Jonathon Ross just took his trousers off on TV! mind is boggling.

5:24 pm

Atalante

loooooooooool

5:24 pm

Atalante

sily is generally a very unassuming little kitty

5:25 pm

Atalante

she has her moments though

5:25 pm

Dorens

lucy has never forgiven me for getting my second cat.... she just hates him and growls at him and is quite aggressive... she's getting old now, and he could beat her if he wanted, and i think she knows it... spends a lot of time outside, but comes in daily to eat, drink and hiss at him

5:25 pm

Atalante

like informing me of her presence Very Loudly at 2:27am this morning

5:26 pm

Dorens

however she is beautiful and was my darling when she was younger, and i still love her.
ouch... 2;27, not my finest hour

5:26 pm

Atalante

awwwwwww pictures! pictures!

5:27 pm

Atalante

how old is she?

5:27 pm

Dorens

she's 15, and deserves better.. will find a pic somewhere

5:28 pm

Atalante

awww I'd love to see

5:29 pm

FMitch

running out of words here but looking forward to seeing a pic of Dorens pusscat

5:29 pm

Atalante

herinfernallady

Thank you everyone.

5:36 pm

5:37 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, FM

5:37 pm

Dorens

thanks fm.. wondering if ata sees the likeness?

5:37 pm

herinfernallady

Dorens your kiittty kitty is so cute

5:37 pm

Atalante

5:37 pm

Atalante

oh I do I do!

5:37 pm

Atalante

same eyes

5:37 pm

Dorens

ty herin... most are though, yes?

5:38 pm

Dorens

same coloring too. that nice browny kind of grey- a thoroughly agreeable look, to my taste

5:39 pm

Atalante

Sily has quite amazing colouring - a mix of her mum and dad - she has these tiny stripes going down along her sides, then huge thick stripes on her legs, and spots on her tummy :)

5:39 pm

Atalante

I love tabbies

5:39 pm

herinfernallady

Thank you Ata

5:40 pm

Dorens

lucy's tummy is that nice soft brown color... Baby is a tabby too, but without the brown color... white belly, white throat, and very cute but yellow eyes rather than green. i have always had tabbies, save one all grey cat with gorgeous green eyes

5:40 pm

Atalante

tabbies are the best ::)

5:41 pm

Trifioso

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

Jacula

bo6 is where the Tea Party happened and to7 is the plural.

8:44 pm

dan2bit

ahah was using the wrong tile for the first!

8:44 pm

Jacula

to5 and plural 6 = to + 'male'.

8:44 pm

Jacula

Meant bo7 is the plural. Sorry!

8:44 pm

dan2bit

whoo hoo thanks jmc & jac & all cluers, that's firewords!

Trifioso

8:47 pm

Jacula

LOL, you too, Trif.

8:47 pm

Trifioso

how's all at your house? 14 year old settling in okay still? I was thinking of you the other day, and wondering how it's all going....

8:48 pm

Jacula

Trif, you'll have to send me an e-mail address so I can invite you to my private blog wwhere you will see how things are going.

8:49 pm

Trifioso

trifioso@comcast.net email away!

8:49 pm

Jacula

Are you member of Facebook, Trif?

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

houseguest back bbl

8:49 pm

Trifioso

yes, but embarrassingly enough, I friended a bunch of babble friends, but now I forget who goes with what real name, so most of my connections there are all but useless....

8:49 pm

Dorens

hi all . just read back in the chat.. jac you are good!

8:49 pm

Trifioso

(((Scarlet)))

8:52 pm

Jacula

I've invited you, Trif, but it's taking ages over sending it.

8:52 pm

Dorens

scarlet? where?

8:52 pm

Jacula

It's done now, Trif.

8:52 pm

Lindrickway

Hi, just popping in to say 'hi'!

8:52 pm

Dorens

8:53 pm

Jacula

Hi Lindrick.

8:53 pm

Trifioso

hey there lindrick@

8:54 pm

Jacula

Dorens - what did I do??

8:55 pm

HollyF

po6?

8:57 pm

Jacula

Someone asked me earlier (yesterday now, via e-mail) if I was really going to attend JC's gig in Devon. Well, let's see, I wasn't offerd a back stage pass or even a free tickt. I was just trying to establish if he was the real thing or not. I go no response either way.

8:57 pm

Dorens

taking step and her cousin on holiday? nice.

8:58 pm

Jacula

po6 is a British barman, or po* what you put a plant intoo + a male.

8:58 pm

Trifioso

what is he doing in Devon?

8:58 pm

HollyF

Thank you Jacula!!

8:59 pm

Dorens

ty for po6. don't think i'd have tried that one on my own

8:59 pm

Jacula

Trif - hee's in Devon because he's not famous enough any more to be in anything other than provincial theatres.

8:59 pm

Dorens

po*head... now that is something I could have recognized (in my youth, of course)

8:59 pm

Dorens

hahahha

9:00 pm

Jacula

J.. If you're on line, please feel free to speak.

9:00 pm

Dorens

(laughing about devon reference, jac--- tickled my funny bone there, jac)

9:01 pm

Jacula

Now, Dorens, be careful not to become hysterical there.

9:01 pm

Dorens

oh no, jac, in full c control always! (3 glasses of sangiovese to the contrary)

9:03 pm

Dorens

now honestly, how can spam not be in the dictionary??????

9:03 pm

Jacula

He was once famous enough to get his own 'Who Do You Think Yoou Are?' programme one, though. I was a bit concerned watching part of itm, when he went into his parents back garden, to hear his mother say, 'I hope you don't find any FOREIGNERS in our family!'

9:04 pm

Jacula

Spam is NOT in the dictionatary.

9:04 pm

Dorens

is there anyone here who doesn' t know monty python? if not unwanted emails? I know it's not in the dictionary, but we all know the word!!!

9:05 pm

Dorens

well, i never heard of him before but i sure do know plenty about him now. more than i need to, actually

9:05 pm

Jacula

I must watch the rest of the programme to see what his mother meant, if it was ever explained.

9:06 pm

Dorens

would it be worth your time?

9:06 pm

Jacula

I won't post the link to that programme here, lest it sudddenly we deleted.

9:07 pm

Jacula

It'd be worth 2 morning big cups of tea, Dorens, whilst I' awakening.

9:07 pm

Dorens

lol

9:10 pm

Jacula

Any moe clues needed before I have to get up to make sure Beloved doesn't pack my jam making stuff (jars etc) in with our holiday stuff?

9:10 pm

Lindrickway

where you going Jac?

9:12 pm

Dorens

so where are you off to jac?

9:12 pm

Jacula

He assured me he would not do that earlier, but he had to find two of those plugs thingeys with about 6 things you can plug into earlier, to [ut away for the packing. He put them atop my jam-making boxes. LOL

9:12 pm

Lindrickway

LOL

9:12 pm

Dorens

well, depending on where you are, perhaps you can make some very interesting jam

9:13 pm

Jacula

North Devon, in UK, lindrick.

9:13 pm

Lindrickway

oh cool Jac, I was born in Dorset but never got to visit Devon

9:14 pm

Dorens

oh i get it... can see the performance in devon then. well, all i really know about devon is clotted cream with strawberries.... enjoy

9:14 pm

Lindrickway

yeah hope you have fun Jac! (0:

9:15 pm

Jacula

Doorens, I already have Bramble Jelly (Blackbeery Jam without the seeds) to make when I get home. Got to give a pot to Blind Jim, the 'owner' of the briar.

9:16 pm

Jacula

Blackcurrant Jam is also on the agenda as is marmalade.

9:16 pm

Lindrickway

sounds yummy!

9:17 pm

Dorens

oh my! i'd be happy with a jar of any of the above! your lucky family.. hope they appreciate it

9:17 pm

Lindrickway

packing is the only thing on my agenda!

9:17 pm

Jacula

My homemade jam and chutney issecondto none, so I am told.

9:18 pm

Dorens

i've made an incredible chutney.. though not in 10 - 20 years at this point... had ll sorts of stuff... mangos, pears, canteloupe, apples, walnuts... took days to make.. did it with friends and it was well worth it.. but they're gone now and so is the free tiime

9:20 pm

Dorens

at this point i'd be glad to find someone who makes it and i'll pay them. no longer renjoy the hours in the kitchen... would rather babble

9:20 pm

Jacula

Dorens - see my blog fpr a great chutney recipe.

9:21 pm

Dorens

and i'd be loathe to compete with yours jac!

9:21 pm

Dorens

tell me how to find your blog, please

9:22 pm

Jacula

Dorens- I reallydon't think the shipping cost for one jar would be worth it when you could makeit and mmore for youself.

9:22 pm

Jacula

I thought you were already invited to my blog, Dorens?

9:23 pm

Jacula

Oh not, I see. I need an e-mail address to invite you with.

9:23 pm

Dorens

haha! you are right. but i can't imagine when i'd want to spend the time to make mine... need to find y our recipe.... and maybe i was, not saying i wasn't. but i'm rather brain dead and maybe i didn't notice? can you do it through facebook?

9:25 pm

Lindrickway

I think I have both of you on my facebook

9:25 pm

Dorens

most exciting.. will probably take a month or two to find the time to do this, but most excited that i can finally make chutney again since Ken would really really appreciate it for christmas. so would various family members. oh joy oh joy, i'm going to be redomesticated

9:25 pm

Jacula

Yes, I can do it through Facebook. I think we are connected there, aren't we? If not, we'll remedy that.

9:26 pm

Dorens

yes we are, and i've just even sent you a message

9:26 pm

Jacula

If you'd read my blog, Dorens, yoiu'd kow that my Beloved hatees the smell of chutney being made and doesn't eat it either;

9:26 pm

Dorens

yes lind.. but i basically only use facebook to play the dastardly addictive game of lexulous

9:26 pm

Lindrickway

oh I love that game too!

9:27 pm

Lindrickway

9:27 pm

Lindrickway

9:28 pm

Jacula

Lindrick - how can you bear to eat take-out pizza when my Belove makes pizza so much better?

9:28 pm

Dorens

jacs, your beloved is not exactly convenient to lind now is he?

9:29 pm

Dorens

well my family likes chutney, misses my old one, and would be delighted to have some. even if it doesn't take two to three days to make

9:29 pm

Lindrickway

Jac when I arrive in the UK i will search you out and try some of your pizza!!

9:30 pm

Jacula

My Belove, Dorens isn't always convenient to anyone but himself. But he will m,arry me one day, me and 'Step' willl make sure of that. LOL

10:22 pm

stid, how's school going for you?

10:23 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the ta 6/24 clue. I just found the word

10:23 pm

stidmama

it's going well ping, I think. the teachers aren't as clear about expectations as I like... but it's a learning experience for me, and I am treating it as such. Also I am practicing being assertive to get my needs met. Seems to be working okay.

10:23 pm

wht

Well, I'm about done in. 38 words left but my brain left a while ago.

10:24 pm

Ping

go you, stid! that sounds great.

10:24 pm

stidmama

I have to indicate the school I want to do my practicum in for the next two quarters. And think about where my first actual student teaching will be...

10:24 pm

stidmama

It's harder in some ways than I expected, but to be honest at this point it's not that bad.

10:24 pm

Ping

wow, i didn't realize you could make that decision yourself

10:24 pm

stidmama

so that's my life in a nutshell. I still have two kids, and that's probably a good thing (most days). *wicked mama grin*

10:24 pm

stidmama

how about you?

10:25 pm

stidmama

only for the practicum, and we aren't supposed to ask for schools where we actually know people.

10:25 pm

Ping

is the school you're attending sort of liberal artsy as opposed to technical?

10:26 pm

stidmama

um.... The Evergreen State College. Yes. highly alternative. but with a good reputation (and I got my BA there too)

10:26 pm

featherbee

must resist urge to chat...must go to bed...aw, heck, there's people i know and like in chat! staying.

10:26 pm

featherbee

hee hee, staying for a few. i was doing the nodding off thing a second ago though.

10:27 pm

stidmama

oh, I am sorry about the coughs, but glad for the cooler weather. A friend in San Antonio wrote earlier this week that they really had a big storm.

10:27 pm

Ping

at wits we have our first gala in 1.5 weeks - kind of busy but fine

10:27 pm

stidmama

I got down to 54 now.

10:27 pm

Ping

yes, we've had rains and floods

10:27 pm

featherbee

my boys have hand foot and mouth disease. nick's worse than daniel.

10:27 pm

stidmama

I was reading about that -- the gala sounds like it will be a wonderful experience. I hope so, anyway.

10:28 pm

stidmama

??? how did they get that feather? I've never known anyone who had it.

10:28 pm

featherbee

it's apparently very common in young kids. fever, mouth sores, rash on hands and feet

10:28 pm

Ping

i never can remember what that is, feather, except that it's very contagious

10:29 pm

stidmama

that doesn't sound comfortable. I hope they recover soon.

10:29 pm

featherbee

no real treatment other than treat the symptoms. tylenol, etc.

10:29 pm

stidmama

well, my five minutes were up four minutes ago.

10:29 pm

stidmama

I hope the boys recover quickly and that you don't catch it!

10:29 pm

featherbee

i should be ok, probably had it as a kid and am now immune

10:29 pm

Ping

night, stid. catch you later

10:30 pm

Ping

i never hear of adults getting it

10:30 pm

stidmama

hope the girls are better soon too -- coughs are so tiring.

10:30 pm
