1:54 am

rururocks

1:54 am

flosey

1:54 am

rururocks

Fort Washington, PA (January 15, 2010) In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is voluntarily recalling certain lots of OTC products in the Americas, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Fiji (FULL RECALLED PRODUCT LIST BELOW). The company is initiating this recall following an investigation of consumer reports of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor that, in a small number of cases, was associated with temporary and non-serious gastrointestinal events. These include nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. This precautionary action is voluntary and has been taken in consultation with the FDA.

1:56 am

jillibus

night ruru

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

Based on this investigation, McNeil Consumer Healthcare has determined that the reported uncharacteristic smell is caused by the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). This can result from the breakdown of a chemical that is sometimes applied to wood that is used to build wood pallets that transport and store product packaging materials. The health effects of this chemical have not been well studied but no serious events have been documented in the medical literature. A small number of the product lots being recalled were associated with the complaints of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor, and some of these lots were found to contain trace amounts of TBA. In December 2009, McNeil Consumer Healthcare also recalled all lots of TYLENOLÂ® Arthritis Pain 100 count with EZ-OPEN CAP related to this issue. McNeil Consumer Healthcare has now applied broader criteria to identify and remove all product lots that it believes may have the potential to be affected, even if they have not been the subject of consumer complaints.

1:57 am

flosey

thanks Dee, sounds like it didn't include Canada, also only otc ones

Yeah, but it was the false nails and extensions that ruined the look - made it look trashy.

2:27 am

jillibus

2:28 am

grannyrose

yes jilli, from the i top right

2:28 am

flosey

2:41 am

Christine

Grannyrose - no joke? Just wanted to know how we'd receive one?

2:41 am

grannyrose

just prepared the veggies for tea, himself ( a perfectionist ) stood there and watched as i threw the veggies any old how into the steamer, then he picked every bit of carrot and put them to one side of the steamer, same with the other 3 veggies.

2:41 am

FMitch

an 11, goodness, hadn't notice that!

2:41 am

grannyrose

i was hard put not to LOL

2:41 am

jillibus

oh my, a neatnik for sure!

2:42 am

FMitch

2:42 am

flosey

am afraid I would have granny

2:42 am

grannyrose

april boy, is that a virgo?

2:42 am

FMitch

No :)

2:43 am

Christine

My daughter had a friend who hated to have any veg touch another

2:43 am

FMitch

Hi Christine

2:43 am

flosey

2:44 am

Christine

hello-hello-hello

2:44 am

FMitch

2:45 am

flosey

well, I have 3 x in5 but can't find the bigger ones

2:45 am

jillibus

FM, I know my icon according to ata's theme has left you speechless

2:46 am

jillibus

flosey, granny clued the in6/27 -- "baby"

2:46 am

flosey

was trying to figure that into a word, haven't been successful yet

2:46 am

grannyrose

chris ,was she born in october? reason i ask, is, that my eldest son was like that, but worse, he couldn't make up his mind which to start with first, so he would sit and stare at his plate for 10 mins. eventually i had to serve his dinner bit by bit, just to get him to eat at the same rate as the rest of us.

2:47 am

FMitch

Good lord jilli, hadn't looked at yr icon and yes I am speechless. To think shelooke din the mirror and thought 'yes, that is how I want to look when I go out this evening'!

2:47 am

flosey

aha, now getting it

2:47 am

flosey

got the 6, 8, 11

2:47 am

grannyrose

yay, flosey

2:47 am

2:47 am

jillibus

2:48 am

flosey

thanks granny and also jilli for pointing that out to me

2:48 am

grannyrose

2:48 am

jillibus

in6/30 -- wobbly, unhealthy

2:48 am

flosey

yes granny

2:49 am

grannyrose

which we ain't!!!!

2:49 am

flosey

aha, got it, tytyty

2:49 am

Christine

No, this girl was okay in most things, but had a quiet hissyfit if the carrots touched the potatoes. Mostly I let people serve themselves at the table, but occasionally I plate in the kitchem, and learned to be super careful about her plate.

2:49 am

jillibus

wtg flosey :)

2:50 am

flosey

and you're right there too granny, we oldies gotta stick together!

2:50 am

jillibus

now I need 2 more I words -- the 1st in 5 and the last one (or second to last)

2:51 am

flosey

2:51 am

grannyrose

jillibus

2:52 am

flosey

yw jilli

2:52 am

FMitch

can I join in too rose even though I am a tad younger?

2:52 am

Christine

She libed with us for a while, and I tod her to serve the vegetables one-by-one, seemed to work. Her stepfather is a horrible, insecure man, and I think he frightened her, which resulted in this behavior.

2:52 am

jillibus

ty again, I words done

2:52 am

grannyrose

only when we all fall down, mitch

2:52 am

flosey

the more the merrier FM

2:53 am

FMitch

2:53 am

grannyrose

chris, how sad. some people just aren't me5 to be parents

2:54 am

flosey

thanks granny, needed that me5

2:54 am

grannyrose

;P

2:54 am

Christine

I came back into Babble, and noticed my in words had vanished, also a couple of others. Even after I refreshed they were not there. Now I wonder what else, that I don't recall, has vanished forever. Poor me.

2:54 am

FMitch

*sigh* time for work. Happy Babbling and see you soon.

2:54 am

grannyrose

byeee mitch

2:55 am

jillibus

bye FM, happy day to you

2:56 am

jillibus

that's weird, chris!

2:56 am

Christine

The man is/was almost illiterate, married to his brother's former wife, and not comfortable with English language, so I think he was an unhappy man, who took it out on everone in his family. Not me and mine - I come from a family and culture where we respect others.

2:57 am

Christine

May I ask a big favor? I hate to be called Cris.

2:57 am

Christine

Never trust a woman who can't spell her own name.

2:57 am

jillibus

Oh -- sorry, Christine

2:58 am

Christine

Thank you, dear

2:58 am

jillibus

we tend to shorten names here a lot

2:59 am

grannyrose

okay, christine

2:59 am

Christine

I know it's not a big thing, but I like my name, and ... oh heck.

2:59 am

grannyrose

it's also a bad aussie habit, thank goodness i didn't call you chrissie

3:00 am

jillibus

I like your name too :)

3:00 am

Christine

I worked with a man who called me Chrissie; at first I tried correcting him, eventually ignored him.

3:02 am

Christine

Thank you, Jillibus. My Mum wanted to call me Christian, after the doctor that delivered me, but my Jewish Grandfather wasn't keen on the idea, so it was changed to Christine.

3:02 am

grannyrose

well, dinner nearly ready, so i'll bid you all a fond farewell. see ya at the flip!

3:03 am

Christine

Goodnight, Grannyrose

3:04 am

jillibus

oh, that's funny, Christine!

3:04 am

grannyrose

lol, call me rose, christine, all my friends do so.

3:05 am

jillibus

except me -- I call rose granny because she's so much younger than I am ;)

3:05 am

grannyrose

* poof * I SAW THAT JILLI!

3:05 am

Christine

I'm the only one that calls my SiL Christopher, everyone calls him Chris, and he says it must be a mother-thing, because his Mum calls him by his name.

3:06 am

Christine

Good one, Jillibus

3:09 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:09 am

flosey

good morning ruby

3:09 am

Christine

Oh, I misread that - I thought I read you called her Granny because she's so much older than you.

3:10 am

Christine

Good morning, Rubyfoo

3:10 am

jillibus

hi ruby

3:11 am

jillibus

christine, she's young enough to be my daughter so I call her granny in my twisted sense of humour

3:13 am

rubyfoo

christine, that is so nice about your name. My son's name is John and only one person every called him Johnny, much to his chagrin. I, on the other hand have a lot of nicknames, maybe from being married different times or whatever.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

christine, that is so nice about your name. My son's name is John and only one person every called him Johnny, much to his chagrin. I, on the other hand have a lot of nicknames, maybe from being married different times or whatever.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

And I'm one of the oldest in here!

3:14 am

Christine

O;der than me? I'm 73

3:15 am

jillibus

I'll be 83 in May

3:15 am

jillibus

Flosey's up there too, in the 70s

3:15 am

rubyfoo

oh, that makes me happy, I'm an old 66!!

3:16 am

dalmatian5

can someone tell me what a babblet is

3:16 am

rubyfoo

Everybody I know is younger!

3:16 am

jillibus

a mere child, ruby

3:16 am

flosey

wow ruby, still a young chic! I'm 77

3:16 am

Christine

Yay!! And next Monday is my 49th anniversary in US

3:16 am

rubyfoo

you all sound like a bunch of spring chickens!!!!

3:17 am

jillibus

hello dal -- a babblet is a rare word which crops up often here, like unau (a 2-toed sloth)

3:17 am

dalmatian5

oh, thanks - I see that in chat so often

3:18 am

Christine

You reach the point where the word jumps at you, even when you can't remember the definition

3:19 am

jillibus

oh, I'm over halfway

3:20 am

jillibus

and I should head for bed -- 1:20 am here

3:20 am

Christine

Dalmatian - where are you in SoCal? Are there floods near you?

3:21 am

dalmatian5

I live near Disneyland. The floods are a good bit north of me. Although today we had a large mall close because the first floor flooded and the amusement park Knott's Berry Farm closed also and that is near me.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, it was explained to me what the tile stats mean; it was so obvious, I didn't see it! duh

3:22 am

Christine

On tonight's news, I saw a street flooded in Anaheim - the water reached the windows of the cars. Scary

3:23 am

dalmatian5

Christine, where did you live in England? I have a very good friend who lives in Yorkshire.

3:23 am

jillibus

takes a while, ruby, to absorb all the ins and outs here

3:23 am

dalmatian5

I live right down the street from Anaheim but thankfully I am retired and do not have to leave the house if I do not want to. We get so little rain our drainage system cannot handle it.

3:24 am

flosey

Oh my goodness jilli, I didn't realize how late it is! must get to bed, have to clean up here before bridge at 1:

3:24 am

flosey

goodnight all, be back some time late afternoon or early evening

3:25 am

jillibus

g'night flosey -- have a good game

3:25 am

flosey

thanks, we need a good one jilli

3:25 am

Christine

That's what I decided - plenty of everything I need, and anyway, I'm so sweet I might melt in the rain. I'm from N.E.London, but I came here 2weeks after my 24th birthday, so I've lived most of my adult life in California.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams, flosey

3:26 am

jillibus

and have fun too ;)

3:27 am

jillibus

christine, I have copusins in LA (Brentwood), expats from England (Hants and London)

3:28 am

dalmatian5

When you say LA it just sounds like a huge area but when you say Brentwood it say MONEY!

3:28 am

jillibus

not in their case!

3:29 am

dalmatian5

Brentwood is where we drive tourists to see the big homes and the beautiful landscaping.

3:29 am

Christine

I think there was a report on the news that Brentwood and BelAir had very heavy rains today. Our average rainfall is about 11", and today some places had as much as 3" . We'll probably get more over the rest of this week.

3:31 am

jillibus

They live on Mayfield Ave in Brentwood. I must do the Google Maps thing to see their place but I'm sure it's modest.

3:32 am

dalmatian5

I would be surprised because there is not much in Brentwood we consider modest. Most people I know could not afford to buy in that area. I would expect million dollar or more prices for the homes.

3:35 am

Christine

I think many millions, because in my area of Hollywood the houses are in the range of $850,000 and a friend recently sold er house for $2,250,000 and that's about 2 miles west of here.

3:36 am

dalmatian5

Wow! I think I will just be content in Orange County. I definitely think our weather is better.

3:38 am

ardilla

hi all

3:38 am

jillibus

just went there, and as I thought, just an apartment building crammed among many other similar buildings

3:39 am

rubyfoo

hi ardilla

3:39 am

jillibus

hi ardilla!

3:39 am

Christine

Well, it never rains here, but I think this set of storms (three) are coming from Canada. I guess we need the rain, but so much at once means the earth can't absorb it, and after the fires the rain causes the earth to slip down the slopes. I live in the center of Hollywood - no hills, no flooding, we hope.

3:39 am

dalmatian5

unfortunately it is location and not size much like living in New York where you cannot afford anything in the city

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I had better go and get dressed or husband will murder me when he gets back! see you later

3:40 am

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, Ata. Been deep in the grid. I had wondered if the "flop" was because you weren't wearing a bra today.

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

Um, that was a joke.

4:44 am

Atalante

lmao sorry the mailman turned up!

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

Phew! So easy to offend without meaning to.

FMitch

Hello!

5:37 am

Atalante

I love my new wellies

Sally-catlover

5:39 am

Atalante

Yetis are great

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

They have changed my life!

5:40 am

ardilla

um...what are crampons? tampons?

5:40 am

Haz1558

If you have to retreat in YakTrax, does that mean a YakTrax backtrack?

5:40 am

Sally-catlover

I think I will have a use for both Ata.

5:40 am

FMitch

Ha ha HAz

5:41 am

Atalante

*ouch* very very no ardilla :)

5:41 am

Haz1558

It's good to laugh....

5:41 am

FMitch

LOL ardilla, crampons are something that yo uattach to your boots to help you walk on ice and they are used in mountain climbing.

5:41 am

Sally-catlover

Don't think the two are interchangeable ardilla.

5:42 am

ardilla

ohhhh...

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Expecially the ones with spikes ...

5:42 am

ardilla

lol

5:42 am

FMitch

don't think that tampons would work as effectivly!

5:42 am

ardilla

i thought it was some sort of slang

5:43 am

ardilla

lady gaga's song "fa4" is playing, very catchy

5:43 am

FMitch

ardilla gets the babble bunch of flowers for making us laugh.

Atalante

Hobbit is snoring sooo loudly

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

Dreaming of beaches?

5:45 am

Atalante

oh yes

5:45 am

FMitch

snoring dog and a snoring husband, hell!

5:46 am

Atalante

tell me about it!

5:46 am

Haz1558

Some of us have crosses to bear, it's true.

5:46 am

FMitch

*hopes that Sily doesn't snore* do cats snore btw?

5:46 am

Atalante

spaniels do tend to breathe out noisily when they are asleep

5:46 am

Atalante

omg cats can snore as loudly as dogs!

5:46 am

Sally-catlover

Some do, FM

5:46 am

Haz1558

Irony is when snoring husband wakes up after resting his eyes when watching television and throws cushions at the dog to stop her snoring.

5:47 am

Atalante

yes. or "I couldn't get to sleep because of the dog's snoring"

5:47 am

FMitch

B snored and oft was the time he had an unexplained bruise from me nudging him to Shut UP!

5:48 am

Sally-catlover

And do you ever hear the dog complaining at the husband snoring?

5:48 am

FMitch

poor Spangle

5:48 am

Atalante

sounds familiar

5:48 am

Haz1558

I know. She just looks at me and rolls her eyes.

5:48 am

Atalante

we met a gorgeous Clumber Spaniel on the beach today. I just love them

5:48 am

Haz1558

She doesn't really, but she would if she could.

5:48 am

Haz1558

Are they not awfully heavy looking?

5:49 am

Atalante

they are. but in a loveable sort of way

5:49 am

Atalante

this one must have been quite young, he looked lean and wide awake

5:49 am

Haz1558

I don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh.

5:50 am

Atalante

they aren't common! I've only seen 1 or 2 or 3.

5:51 am

FMitch

make yr mind up Ata

5:51 am

Atalante

loads of dogs on the beach today. the clumber, a tibetan terrier, 2 staffies, 1 husky thing, black labs. you name it

5:51 am

Atalante

maybe 2 then :)

5:51 am

Atalante

and a gorgeous gorgeous rottie

5:51 am

Haz1558

2 your final answer?

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

Just googled clumber spaniel. Fun!

5:51 am

FMitch

:)

5:52 am

Atalante

until I change my mind, yep

5:52 am

FMitch

you can't phone a friend and you can't go 50/50

5:52 am

Haz1558

At least there weren't any hamsters.

5:52 am

Atalante

they are kind of ugly in a cute way. if they weren't spaniels, they be done for

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

Don't go for the Tibetan Terrier as much. Prefer big dogs really.

5:53 am

Atalante

and normally I really don't like Staffies, but one of the ones today was so beautiful. She was blue, silky smooth and smily

5:53 am

FMitch

lol Haz, that was quite a story.

5:53 am

Haz1558

I'm still traumatised.

5:53 am

Atalante

I don't remember the hamster story!!!!

5:53 am

FMitch

(((Haz)))

5:53 am

Haz1558

Check your e-mail.

5:54 am

FMitch

you haven't read yr email today then Ata!

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Why are you traumatised?

5:55 am

Atalante

omg

5:55 am

FMitch

poor Haz had a difficult situation on the vets phone last night (to say the least).

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

Feeling left out

5:55 am

Haz1558

It's a long story - okay not that long, but basically, as you know, husband is a vet and I answer the phone after hours to deal with emergencies. Last night it involved a mentally unstable pregnant young woman whose hamster was having multiple babies and eating them.

5:55 am

Atalante

did she come in this morning?

5:55 am

Haz1558

The hamster was eating the babies, not the young woman.

5:56 am

Haz1558

I don't know, Ata, I warned the receptionists to look out for her.

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

That's a relief, Haz.

5:56 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the last me6 and the an7?

5:56 am

Atalante

hopefully the injured one would have died of shock fairly quickly

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Seriously, think it's quite common. Other animals can do that too if they feel threatened.

5:57 am

Haz1558

The second phone call came at 11.30pm when she announced that she and her also pregnant sister, were walking to the pet shop to get the mobile number so that she could ring the owner. Apparently when the owner sold the hamster to her she said she could ring her if she had any bother.

5:57 am

Atalante

even cats will I think if the young is malformed

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

lol

5:58 am

Atalante

wouldn't the pet shop owner just have loved that phone call

5:58 am

FMitch

Sorry can't help you Ouaw, haven't started the grid yet.

5:58 am

Haz1558

It was so surreal, it was like trying to reason with someone on a different planet.

5:59 am

FMitch

LOL and all your time on babble didn't prepare you for that??

5:59 am

Haz1558

It should have, shouldn't it?

5:59 am

Sally-catlover

an7: start with picnic pest, then vowel, then word used for nick-name

5:59 am

Ouwachita

finally figured out the an

5:59 am

Atalante

I've only got 1 me6 and that's what these girls were to their hamster!

6:00 am

Haz1558

Two me6 are very similar, just one vowel different (in the middle)

6:03 am

Anniebrook

I will have to google hamsters later.

6:03 am

Haz1558

I should have referred them to Jacula, she knows all about hamsters.

6:04 am

Haz1558

Or is it guinea pigs?

6:04 am

Atalante

guinea pigs

6:04 am

Atalante

Ankhorite is the hamster girl

It's not just anyone who can type creatively, you know.

6:06 am

Atalante

6:06 am

FMitch

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

It takes years of playing Babble to type rubbish.

6:07 am

Anniebrook

Did you get your things from your BF?

6:32 am

ardilla

yes, and he was quite determined to make sure i got everything...to4 his room apart to find my HD...said that he still wants to sit down and talk...and kept insisting that i keep in contact...i found that a bit funny

6:33 am

Anniebrook

ardilla, I would be very careful.

6:35 am

ardilla

we agreed that it would be some time before that talk actually happens...he's swamped for the next 6 weeks and i'm for the next 90 days...so if he wants to talk, he has to initiate...if it doesn't happen, well i already got my stuff back

6:35 am

oodleberry

8:16 am

oodleberry

I AM exaggerating a bit though but sometimes it is quite frustrating

8:16 am

Eva

oodle, makes our growing season on Central Vt seem long. I did build mini-greenhouses over my raised beds last spring to lengthen the growing season but then, as you know, it rained for about two months, so aside from beets and spinach and weeds nothing was very happy. Oh and it was nirvana for slugs.

8:16 am

Aloyisius

I understand totally.. gardening in NE Oh was always a challenge.. early and late freezes

8:17 am

Eva

It's snowing today, What a surprise.

8:17 am

Aloyisius

collard greens do well

8:17 am

Aloyisius

and brussels sprouts

8:17 am

Aloyisius

hi Eva!

8:17 am

oodleberry

ohhhh slugs... like washington state... slugs might not like to cross the border eh?

8:18 am

Eva

and early lettuce. But by late June everything was rotting and swarming with earwigs. Is there anything more disgusting that an earwig?

8:18 am

Eva

hi aloy!

8:18 am

Aloyisius

used to have "slug fests", catching those rascals

8:18 am

oodleberry

I always liked putting salt on slugs when growing up there

8:18 am

lkdubb

an7/40 please?

8:18 am

Aloyisius

eewww, earwigs

8:18 am

Eva

Can't believe you actually wrote "eh" LOL!

8:18 am

Eva

oodle, have you ever watched the series "Due South"?

8:19 am

Aloyisius

yes.. a cut off milk carton with salt in it

8:19 am

Eva

when two words don

8:19 am

Eva

sorry-when two words don't mean the same thing

8:19 am

Aloyisius

a grammatical term: Roget's Thesaurus would be helpful with an7

8:20 am

oodleberry

used to have a ravine on the side of our house and i would explore the bottom and there was a stream and at one point of the stream it was just thick with slugs...

8:20 am

oodleberry

no eva I haven't

8:20 am

Eva

I'm not good at killing things-even slugs. But I did finally put down diatomaceous earth which is supposed to scratch their bellies or something like that

8:21 am

Aloyisius

know what you mean, Eva.. but desperation made me do it.. they were devouring everything

8:21 am

oodleberry

snowing here now... is it there eva??

8:22 am

Eva

it was a wonderful show which was on some years ago about a Canadian Mountie who ends up in Chicago working as partners with a chicago cop. Filled with Canada/Us jokes. Yes, it's snowing here, although not very heavily. Had about 5 inches the night before last, but it's been pretty light so far this winter. And warm wright now-supposed to get up to 30 today.

8:22 am

Aloyisius

10:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have to get some work done. Maybe back later. Hello and goodbye!

10:15 am

10:26 am

Digby the Westie

SeaSpray, love your icon! What is you

10:26 am

Digby the Westie

10:27 am

oodleberry

bbl

10:27 am

SeaSpray

oh ty Digby, Max is 13 and still acts like a pup

10:28 am

SeaSpray

how old is Digby

10:28 am

SeaSpray

He has been with us since he was 8 weeks old

10:29 am

Digby the Westie

Awww, so cute! Gotta love those Westie's! Digby is 7. He is outside right now barking at skateboarders!

10:30 am

aebmusica

Hey Digby.... I have 2 Westies.... Piper Robbie Mac F Fearsome and Brody Jon Mac Fearsome.

10:30 am

SeaSpray

hah, they do have a voice don't they? lol

10:31 am

SeaSpray

they are fun though

10:31 am

Digby the Westie

So fun!

10:33 am

Digby the Westie

That sounds like quite a pair, aeb! Cool names. Very Highlandish. How old are your dogs?

10:33 am

Digby the Westie

I would love to have 2! Must be noisy and fun around your place!

10:34 am

aebmusica

Piper Robbie is 3 yrs 10 months and Brody is 1 and a half.

10:38 am

SeaSpray

my accountant had a Westie for 17 years, thats how we came to have Max

10:38 am

Digby the Westie

Westies are wonderful dogs. They all look so similar, but each has a quite a unique personality.

10:39 am

aebmusica

My boys and I love the name Digby....how did you come by it?

10:39 am

SeaSpray

so true, and yes that is a nice name

10:41 am

Digby the Westie

My husband's great grandfather was the mayor of Digby in Nova Scotia many many years ago. When looking at a list of pet names, there it was!

10:42 am

aebmusica

ooooh Been to Nova Scotia...love it!

10:42 am

aebmusica

Sea...What is Max's full name?

10:43 am

aebmusica

fane

10:43 am

aebmusica

ooops

10:44 am

SeaSpray

He is just Max aeb, I named him after his Dad, not very original I know but my daughter decided and she was 10 at the time so we went with it

10:44 am

SeaSpray

and now daughter is 24 and when she comes home Max lays right with her wherever she is in the house

10:45 am

aebmusica

It's cute ....he must be the max!

10:45 am

SeaSpray

He definitely is, he is like our third child.

10:46 am

aebmusica

aaaahhhhhhhh......

10:46 am

hurshy

GAH

10:51 am

Atalante

any particular gah, or just gah?

10:52 am

hurshy

the USPS has now decided that if you put stamps on mail that weighs more than 13 oz, you have to bring it in to a post office to mail it.

10:53 am

hurshy

which means either you spend gas money to go there or you pay a monthly fee to do online postage or a postage meter or whatever.

10:53 am

Atalante

you didn't have to before?

10:54 am

hurshy

no, usually you just leave your mail in the box and when the postman drops off the delivery he takes away what you're sending.

10:55 am

Atalante

oooo

10:55 am

SeaSpray

what is the rate for 13 oz. hurshy?

10:55 am

hurshy

but now they feel that terrorists are going to be sending more packages, apparently. because nothing dangerous could come in under 13 ounces. hello, what about that anthrax scare we had?

10:55 am

hurshy

depends how you're sending it, seaspray - first class, media mail, priority, etc. priority you can do online with no fee but is more expensive.

10:56 am

hurshy

they shouldn't call them terrorists, they should call them annoyancists.

10:57 am

Atalante

I think ppl who lost ppl in 9/11 might feel differently!

10:57 am

hurshy

well yes but this is NEW. it just started. it clearly has nothing to do with 9/11.

10:57 am

Atalante

or what about the guy that just got caught trying to blow up an aeroplane? there are still terrorists out there

10:58 am

bojazz

a terrorist is a terrorist, is a terrorist - period!

10:58 am

hurshy

yes but he failed, and what does underwear bombing have to do with 13 oz mail anyway!

11:00 am

hurshy

i didn't mean to minimize about people's losses through terrorists. i just hate the arbitrary reactions by various gov't agencies.

11:01 am

Atalante

the govt reaction is the annoying bit, not the terrorism

11:02 am

hurshy

yeah.

11:02 am

hurshy

i'll tell you one thing, i am not going through one of them full body scanners at an airport, period. if they try to make me i will take a train or cancel my trip or whatever.

11:03 am

M3

you have a choice not to use the scanner and opt for a person to search you,, the worry with the new scannner is that it can change your DNA

11:03 am

Atalante

lol!

11:03 am

hurshy

change your DNA?!?!?!

11:04 am

aebmusica

How?

11:04 am

bojazz

yeah, right!

11:04 am

jmcnrick

uh that seems unlikely

11:04 am

sciencegeek

The newest scanners are simply xray machines....

11:04 am

sciencegeek

Of course, you can be exposed to too many rads which can pose a cancer risk.

11:05 am

torgone

It's all just security theater ..

11:05 am

hurshy

x-rays that often would be bad for frequent fliers for sure.

11:05 am

sciencegeek

well, maybe we should support nudist airlines

11:06 am

jmcnrick

the body scanners make more sense than most of what they do now

11:06 am

Atalante

youd prolly get more x-rays up inthe sky

11:06 am

bojazz

don't believe the airport scanners are the same as ones used in medicine, folks

11:06 am

sciencegeek

there is background radiation everywhere

11:06 am

hurshy

every time i see an old lady being given a hard time i just think, this is so stupid.

11:06 am

sciencegeek

The new ones are quite similar jazz

11:07 am

onyx

the sky is falling, the sky is falling!

11:08 am

Atalante

looool onyx

11:08 am

bojazz

yes, run for cover!! :)

11:08 am

*puts up umbrella over foil cap*

11:08 am

bojazz

11:08 am

sciencegeek

well i am hiding under the stairwell or in the bath tub

11:09 am

sciencegeek

with a mattress on top

11:09 am

bojazz

get under the tub!

11:09 am

Atalante

*is behind foot thick flint walls*

11:09 am

onyx

you can run but you can't hide

11:09 am

bojazz

leaving to dig very deep hole in yard...

11:09 am

jmcnrick

silly people if the sky is falling it is called rain!

11:10 am

aebmusica

if the sky falls ....would the earth be flat?

11:10 am

bojazz

the sky is melting! the sky is melting

11:10 am

jmcnrick

i'm singing in the the rain i'm singing in the rain

11:10 am

Atalante

just squeezed a bit

11:10 am

bojazz

lol

11:10 am

jmcnrick

what a glorious feeling i'm happy again. . .

11:11 am

bojazz

not till they get those damn scanners out of circulation!

11:11 am

Atalante

just bom-baaaaarded with x-rays, but that's just really ok!

11:11 am

sciencegeek

what? i thought it was flat?!

11:11 am

onyx

singing in the rain? we got plenty of that here today and thunder too!

11:11 am

bojazz

blue skies lookin' at you...

11:12 am

aebmusica

lol science

11:12 am

*dances in the puddles*

11:13 am

aebmusica

if the earth is flat... then Atlas would be a discus thrower

11:13 am

bojazz

laughing on the outside, crying on the inside...

11:13 am

bojazz

LOL

11:14 am

Atalante

and australia should have dropped off by now

11:14 am

bojazz

no, no. not Austrialia - anywhere but Austrailia

11:14 am

jmcnrick

is there a lickety list? maybe that is why!

11:16 am

jmcnrick

whew there is a lickety list! australia lives!

11:16 am

car.eeyore

May I please have a clue for the lower left N?

11:16 am

Atalante

loool

11:17 am

Atalante

we can assume that lickety moved to NZ before Australia fell off

11:17 am

Jen34

there is a kind of orange used for perfume

11:17 am

11:18 am

Jen34

:o)

11:18 am

sciencegeek

24 left and cannot see a thing

11:18 am

jmcnrick

i would think nz would go at the same time what with them being so close and all

11:19 am

car.eeyore

How about the right column E? I have the en 7/44.

11:19 am

Atalante

there's a nice bit of sea between them. besides, I like NZ :P

11:20 am

sciencegeek

en 5 - what you get at the hospital to clean out your intestines

11:20 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! No wonder I wasn't seeing it! TY!

11:20 am

jmcnrick

well i am not sure that you liking a place would be a determinate of its survival in an Armageddon type situation

11:21 am

bojazz

thx science

11:21 am

Jayk

Hi guys--3 to go. missing fi 4/8 (last one), ma6/36, and last ra 4/4. monkeys aren't breathing

11:22 am

Atalante

I think it should be :)

11:22 am

jmcnrick

and i would assume that the destruction of australia would create a pretty big votex sucking kinda thing

11:22 am

jmcnrick

*gives oxygen to jayk's monkeys while dialing the aspca"

11:22 am

helensgirlkid

Not if it just tips over the edge.

11:23 am

Atalante

good point helen

11:23 am

aebmusica

then where does it go, helen?

11:23 am

helensgirlkid

That ma 6 s nice - after I gave up trying to force the grid to let me have matron or martyr, it was a quick trick!

11:24 am

bojazz

think it would still create a vortex

11:24 am

Atalante

space!

11:24 am

helensgirlkid

Under - that's why it's called Down Under - it's only been on top for a visit.

11:24 am

jmcnrick

will if it tipped off the edge the nz would have had to preceded it

11:24 am

Angel.lover

help with an7 please.....

11:24 am

Kateq

an7 opposite word

11:24 am

Jen34

another word for opposite

11:24 am

sciencegeek

an 7 - words that mean the opposite of each other

11:24 am

helensgirlkid

Wrong edge

11:25 am

Atalante

not it if was kicked off at the right angle

11:25 am

Angel.lover

ahhh, thanks!

11:25 am

sciencegeek

ma 6 - enter the ma6 - line from an old sci fi movie with Keanu Reeves

11:25 am

jmcnrick

any other edge makes it dangerous for the rest of us!

11:25 am

helensgirlkid

Good luck all - especially those still in hopes of Australia

11:25 am

jmcnrick

lol helen

11:25 am

bojazz

can we stop picking on Austrailia? i really like the place

11:25 am

Jayk

OK, helen, how about a clue?

11:25 am

Atalante

who shall we pick on now then>

11:26 am

aebmusica

that's what we r all doing....taking up space!(lol)

11:26 am

jmcnrick

***I**** was defending australia!

11:26 am

jmcnrick

ru he isn't here to defend himself

11:26 am

Atalante

good idea

11:26 am

jmcnrick

besides when he come he will be all giddy about dylan and impossible to tease

11:27 am

bojazz

can be break Siberia off Asia and do that?

11:27 am

Jayk

i give up. maybe later.

11:28 am

Atalante

dylan's soooo cute

11:28 am

jmcnrick

you don't think life has been hard enough on the poor people in siberia?

11:28 am

bojazz

let the people get out first

11:28 am

jmcnrick

sorry jayk i didn't have the words you needed yet

11:28 am

Atalante

what about papua new guinea. that's a big island

11:28 am

bojazz

Jayk - i'd give a clue but don't have the one you need

11:28 am

Kateq

the last me 6? can't see it.....

11:28 am

Jayk

S' ok.

11:30 am

Kateq

the last fi 4/8 is a group of lawyers

11:30 am

Atalante

me6 - one letter different from the previous me6

11:31 am

jmcnrick

what about papua new guinea?

11:31 am

Vicuna

Imagine odd spellings of "eenie me6 me6 mo"

11:31 am

Vicuna

Hello, All.

11:31 am

Atalante

something else to pick on. they have cannibals there

11:31 am

We're picking on Papua New Guinea today? How come?

11:32 am

FMitch

Haz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:32 am

pida 1

afternoon, all

11:33 am

Atalante

because we;re not allowed to pick on australia any more

11:33 am

Haz1558

*smug* yet mildly worried at the waste.

11:33 am

jmcnrick

*ducking all the flying exclamation points*

11:33 am

Vicuna

My cup runneth over!

11:33 am

jmcnrick

hi FM and pida

11:33 am

FMitch

Evening all :)

11:33 am

Atalante

everyone!!

11:33 am

Vicuna

*gets a cloth to wipe up the overflowed cup... and the excess exclamation points*

11:33 am

jmcnrick

haz is here we can pick on her

11:33 am

Haz1558

I don't know enough about Papua New Guinea. My picking on it might be lacklustre as a consequence.

11:33 am

bojazz

hi ya'll

11:33 am

Haz1558

You can't pick on me! It's against the law.

11:34 am

FMitch

Hey jmc :)

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm here- shouldn't be, but that's another story

11:34 am

Kateq

thanks but I still can't see it--

11:34 am

Vicuna

But it isn't the law in Papua New Guinea, I bet!

11:34 am

Atalante

did the hamster lady reappear?

11:34 am

jmcnrick

only in GB -- I am in the U.S. were it is required!

11:34 am

jmcnrick

hi kap

11:34 am

Haz1558

I don't know, I haven't heard. I doubt it very much. I rather think Uni might be right, the rest may be no more as well.

11:34 am

jmcnrick

i see you have moved on to Paul Lynd

11:35 am

Vicuna

me6 rhymes with tush

11:35 am

Kateq

got it---it's always obvious after the fact....

11:35 am

Atalante

Uni is very wise, and probably right

11:36 am

Haz1558

Very wise indeed, and I wish I had consulted her last night. It might have helped me regain some sense of reality.

11:36 am

Vicuna

DId you lose your reality to a hamster lady last night, Haz? *puzzled*

11:37 am

jmcnrick

wow what interesting line haz -- hamster lady --reality --rest may be no more

11:37 am

Atalante

mad vet client, Vi

11:37 am

jmcnrick

*pulls foil hat on tight and shivers*

11:37 am

FMitch

Haz has an interesting life as a vets wife!

11:38 am

Haz1558

It was all very fraught. A woman who sounded like a child rang up in a state of some excitement, Her hamster was having babies and eating them.

11:38 am

jmcnrick

and by mad you me4 angry i hope!

11:38 am

Vicuna

Ooh, good idea, jmc. It may well be tin foil hat time.

11:38 am

Atalante

with tales of cannabalistic hamsters

11:38 am

bojazz

tush???

11:38 am

Vicuna

Ah, well, hamsters have been known to do that, I'm afraid. Even when not in Papua New Guinea.

11:38 am

KatieMcG

hamsters shouldn't be kept together they eat each other!

11:39 am

KatieMcG

good grief even the people at Pets at Home tell you that when you buy one

11:39 am

jmcnrick

even a rodent hater like me knows that much about hamsters!

11:39 am

Haz1558

I'm sending you the e-mail with details, VI. You can't miss out on this story.

11:39 am

Atalante

see? alll the hammy experts are coming out of the woodwork now!

11:40 am

Haz1558

This woman was slightly mentally deranged, as well as being pregnant.

11:40 am

Vicuna

The hamsters believe that when one eats another, it gains all the victim's powers and mana. It's fluffiness, too.

11:40 am

KatieMcG

surely the two must be connected!!

11:40 am

Haz1558

Typical! And now that I know all this, I won't have another hamster obstetric emergency for ages.

11:40 am

Vicuna

Was she afraid that she would be inspired to eat her own children when they were born?

11:41 am

jmcnrick

maybe she wanted to gain their fluffiness

11:41 am

Vicuna

I look forward to the details, Haz. *protected by tinfoil first, though*

11:41 am

jmcnrick

although imho mentally deranged and preggers often go hand in glove

11:41 am

KatieMcG

if she can't keep hamsters should she be trusted with a child?

11:42 am

Haz1558

E-mail sent, VI.

11:42 am

bojazz

lol Katie

11:42 am

Vicuna

Alas, KatieMcG, that is not something taken into account.

11:42 am

Atalante

that's what I think Vi. She's going to spend the next 5 months wondering if she'll turn into a cannibal after birth

11:43 am

jmcnrick

okay on that note i am off to organize financial papers for the auditor

11:43 am

bojazz

maybe the baby will be a cannibal

11:43 am

Vicuna

It would be a worrying thought, wouldn't it. I mean, imagine having to spend nine months making dinner.

11:43 am

Atalante

only in babble ..

11:43 am

Vicuna

Bye, jmc. Try to be sensible!

11:43 am

KatieMcG

mind you I would never have got a hamster if it had been judged on my record of keeping house plants alive

11:43 am

jmcnrick

*smacks lips and leaves the chog*

11:43 am

Atalante

about as slow as husband

11:44 am

pida 1

see ya later, jmcnrick

11:44 am

Haz1558

I got quite rattled with the woman, I must admit. At one point I told her I didn't care if she was pregnant. My diplomacy diploma might be taken off me at this rate.

11:44 am

bichon

natalie konerding

11:44 am

Atalante

I think you're allowed 1 slip

11:45 am

bojazz

and sent to the PB as well Haz

11:45 am

Vicuna

Poor Haz. I can't imagine how you failed to see the vital relevance of the fact of the women's pregnancy.

11:45 am

KatieMcG

I once informed someone that I didn't car about world peace as they had rattled me, luckily I did laugh at myself later

11:45 am

Atalante

I swear she thinks she's going to give birth to the anti-christ in hamster form or something

11:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

I got the 11!

11:45 am

Vicuna

*woman's* Thank goodness it wasn't women.

11:46 am

Vicuna

Yay for Kaplan!

11:46 am

nrkii

hi all

11:46 am

bichon

hint for the eleven?

11:46 am

KatieMcG

if the hamster had eaten the other one, what did she think you could do about it?

11:46 am

nrkii

first two letters of the 11 please?

11:46 am

Vicuna

Hello, nrkii.

11:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

Massachusetts might elect its first Republican senator since 1972 today. Not happy!

11:46 am

Atalante

it was women though! she had a pregnant sister!

11:46 am

bojazz

suits me

11:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

Nrkii- it is in11. army guys.

11:46 am

nrkii

Massachusetts might elect its first Republican senator since 1972 today. Hopeful! LOL

11:47 am

FMitch

build from the 'baby' in6, expand it to an 8 and then go for the 11

11:47 am

Vicuna

oooh, PB for Kaplan!

11:47 am

nrkii

thanks Kaplan!

11:47 am

pida 1

ty Kaplan

11:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

nrkii- oh-oh. How did I get PB?

11:48 am

bichon

ty for th 11

11:48 am

Vicuna

Your definition of the in11 was made with ar4! =P

11:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

Whoops.

11:49 am

nrkii

I didn't even notice that!

11:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's because I'm rattled- bad day here, except for nrkii.

11:50 am

Soodle

Hi Peeps. In from a hard day at the coal face - Looking forward to a nice babble.

11:50 am

nrkii

Kaplan, it aint over till it's over... I am not confident about this election one way or the other

11:50 am

KatieMcG

Random question for the day - when making swede & potato mash do you boil the swede for the same time as the potatoe?

11:50 am

nrkii

but I do hope Brown wins... restore a little balance

11:50 am

nrkii

what is swede?

11:51 am

FMitch

IF you cut them up the same size Katie they should cook at the same rate.

11:51 am

Atalante

a bit longer I think

11:51 am

KatieMcG

thank you FM :-)

11:51 am

Soodle

A bit longer, Katie. Its horrible when its tough

11:51 am

Haz1558

Until they're both soft, so it would probably be round about the same time. It maybe depends on your variety of potato, as well.

11:51 am

nrkii

ah, rutabaga... I'd usually go a little longer on the swede

11:51 am

bichon

a swede is a rutabaga

11:52 am

KatieMcG

thank you everyone

11:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't think Brown is very balanced. Too much Tea Party Sarah P. backing, but I'll stop ranting- I don't know how many of you are in that place. I wish Teddy could have held on till health care reform- I miss him.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody. I'm sorry I missed the beginning of the hamster story, it sounds fascinating!

11:52 am

Vicuna

Brown doesn't give a hoot about MA. All he wants is to be the next hot star in the Republican party. I'll be voting against him as hard as I can! lol

11:52 am

FMitch

BRB

11:53 am

nrkii

Yeah, I don't think any individual politician is all that balanced these days... I just mean balance overall

11:53 am

Haz1558

Fascinating is one word for it, ruby.

11:53 am

nrkii

as long as you only vote once, Vicuna! LOL

11:53 am

Vicuna

Ah yes, cannabalistic hamsters is MUCh more cheerful than politics! =D

11:53 am

rubyfoo

for sure

11:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

After the last 8 years of extreme imbalance...never mind. I once had a hamster. Great rodents.

11:53 am

rubyfoo

how about cannibalistic politicians!

11:53 am

Vicuna

Awww, nrk, you're no fun! ;)

11:54 am

robbie09

I won't hold that against you vicuna;-) But I'm praying that Brown wins;-)

11:54 am

bichon

we had pet mice once who were canibalistic

11:54 am

rubyfoo

we had gerbils that ate their babies, great lesson for the kids!

11:54 am

Vicuna

Are you in Massachusetts, robbie?

11:54 am

nrkii

did we have extreme imbalance in the Senate over the last 8 years? I didn't think we did

11:54 am

robbie09

sadly no

11:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Case rested, Vic.

11:55 am

Vicuna

Right. Well, see, I am. And I want someone who will represent me, not you! =D

11:55 am

Haz1558

It's actually a relief to know that this wasn't just one crazed hamster belonging to a crazed woman who sounded like a child, to the extent that I asked to speak to a grown-up.

11:55 am

nrkii

I grew up in Mass, and my parents and extended family and friends are there...

11:56 am

rubyfoo

being preg was the best part of my whole life!!!

11:56 am

robbie09

I have family there though;-), and they will be voting;-)

11:56 am

Vicuna

Lol, Haz. I have now had the complete report. Very disturbing altogether. I can just see these two poor girls freaking themselves out!

11:57 am

Haz1558

And freaking out a normally sensible me along with them!

11:57 am

Soodle

What was the eventual outcome, Haz?

11:57 am

Atalante

you're allowed a wobble with chaotic reports of cannibalism in ballymena

11:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

Crazy hamsters, and Massachusetts Republicans? Too much today. I have to go and chill out.

11:58 am

Vicuna

And I suppose the whole time the hamster babies' father was down the pub with the fathers of the girls' babies?

11:58 am

rubyfoo

hello ata. If I have a photo of Max in facebook, how do I make it my icon?

11:58 am

Atalante

um ... are you sure you want to ask that?

11:58 am

bichon

is there a link to this Ballymena story?

11:59 am

rubyfoo

sorry, I didn't mean to bother you

11:59 am

robbie09

it can be very disturbing if you don't know that female hamsters can eat their young

11:59 am

Atalante

get the pic up of max. right click it and select "view image". get the image on it's own from that, and right click and choose "copy image location"

11:59 am

Atalante

then copy and paste that url as you did before :)

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

I'll try

12:00 pm

Atalante

actually that didn't sound as complicated as I thought it would!

12:00 pm

nrkii

I would just cheat... copy the picture from FB to my desktop, then upload it for the icon

12:01 pm

Atalante

she can't do that, hence the copying urls

12:02 pm

robbie09

I have a rat story..speaking of rodents and phone calls...

12:02 pm

Vicuna

Well, looks like it's time for me to get on the boots and head out into the snow. Didn't find too many words this last while, what with all the baby-eating pregnant teenage Republicans calling their vets all hours of the night! LOL

12:02 pm

Soodle

So how come the hamster population isn't extinct?

12:02 pm

nrkii

see ya Vicuna... remember, vote early, vote once!

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Have we given you inspiration for a new book, VI?

12:03 pm

robbie09

a lady called up my husband and said that a rat had gotten into a poison trap she put down

12:03 pm

FMitch

TTFN Vi , take care.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Soodle, apparently humans being around, or any kind of stress, causes mother hamster to eat the young.

12:03 pm

nrkii

And I'm off to the gym with 19 words left to find...see ya later

12:03 pm

robbie09

well, my husband hesitated and said...what's the problem....

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Bye nrkii.

12:03 pm

Soodle

I know the feeling!

12:04 pm

FMitch

Bye nrikii

12:04 pm

robbie09

she said it was her pet rat that accidentally got loose...not the wild rat she wanted to catch...lol

12:04 pm

FMitch

Oh dear!

12:05 pm

robbie09

the pet rat was saved lol

12:06 pm

12:07 pm

FMitch

Hi EvaN,, points her in the direction of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or stronger things.

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Oh, poor disgruntled EvaN.

12:08 pm

EvaNadine

surveys the tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, and makes a beeline for said "stronger things"

12:08 pm

Soodle

Is a pig with laryngitis disgruntled?

12:08 pm

FMitch

LOL soodle

12:09 pm

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

HAHAH

12:09 pm

robbie09

12:09 pm

FMitch

12:10 pm

robbie09

oh i see..extra work too bad:-(

12:10 pm

EvaNadine

very busy/stressed lately -- wedding planning, searching for a new rental home, getting ready to move, upcoming dance performances/competitions = extra rehearsals...
then had a tiff with the fiance last night + put a hole in my brand-new, only-worn-once tights this morning...

12:11 pm

Haz1558

Think on the bright side. You're not pregnant and you don't own a hamster.

12:11 pm

robbie09

oh dear! hopefully things will brighten up a bit

12:11 pm

Haz1558

And you're sane.

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Saner than a lot of people.

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

i didnt agree to that ata, but i was gonna let it slide. ;)

12:12 pm

FMitch

Am finding it hard to type as i have lost about 4 layers of skin off my left middle finger. Anyone got any ideas on how to stop this happening. Only occurs on left hand and on middle and 2nd finger?

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

no luck, ata, but I sent you a great photo of the elusive Max boy

12:13 pm

Haz1558

Is there chafing occurring for some reason?

12:13 pm

FMitch

nope

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Skin lost the whole way down the finger?

12:14 pm

Atalante

you have leprosy

12:14 pm

FMitch

skin just sudeenly decides to peel, only on the tips.

12:14 pm

robbie09

do you wear rings? are you allergic to metals?

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

cruel, but funny! we'll have to send you to Hawaii

12:14 pm

FMitch

Thanks Ata, so comforting :)

12:15 pm

Atalante

as always :)

12:15 pm

Haz1558

On the tips? Obviously no injury or you'd have remembered.

12:15 pm

robbie09

fungus?

12:15 pm

Haz1558

And does new skin grow and then peel?

12:15 pm

Mom

Hi All. FMitch mine does that too, only on the sides of my fingers around the nail. Don't know why though and doctors don't seem concerned with it

12:15 pm

FMitch

Fungus or leprosy - don't you just love Babble land *grin*

12:16 pm

FMitch

Hi Mom

12:16 pm

robbie09

Mom

Hi FMitch

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

it's best to be a dermatologist; nobody dies and nobody is ever cured!

12:17 pm

Haz1558

me6/21 - can be spelled in two different ways depending on which vowel you use in the middle. Add a couple of vowels to the end of me4/5.

12:18 pm

bichon

if a person is not nice to other people he/she is a me****

12:18 pm

Haz1558

Is there inflammation?

12:18 pm

Mom

Hi Erda and Bichon

12:18 pm

Haz1558

There are 5 cardinal signs of inflammation. Red, pain, heat, swelling, loss of function.

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

clue for the ta6?

2:47 pm

lynxxx

hi Dawg. Not wild & opp of out

2:47 pm

hurshy

so, i only found out recently that "big love" on HBO is just a show. i thought it was a documentary. (i never saw it or ads for it or anything). and then after i found out that it is a fictional show, i saw an ad for it in a magazine, and it was saying stuff about love, intrigue, etc. and i was thinking how odd that was because from the factual stuff i've seen about mormon-offshoot-polygamists, the most noticeable thing about their lives is how dull they are.

2:47 pm

lbdawger

thanks lynxxx! phoenix!

2:48 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Dawg!

2:48 pm

flosey

Jay, a grid of numbers would be a ma6

7:23 pm

jillibus

do you mean the theme, flosey? When I googled Lacroix, I found the couturier Christian Lacroix, and I think that's what atalante must have had in mind, after her previous choice of fashion mistakes :)

7:23 pm

jillibus

YAY wht!!!

7:23 pm

flosey

oh, ok, I came up with others as well so was confused

7:24 pm

8:15 pm

Pinikula

I'm never in math mode!

8:16 pm

Bugsaw

I see algebra as a puzzle and then it doesn't seem so scary.

8:16 pm

lbdawger

i like math, i'm not very good at it, but numbers facinate me.

8:16 pm

stidmama

it's not scary, just I was in social studies mode and a little hard sometimes for me to change gears when I am tired.

8:16 pm

Pinikula

I like numbers when they make sense ;)

8:17 pm

stidmama

me too pini.

8:17 pm

lbdawger

numbers are constant, unless they are imaginary, then you can just give imaginary answers

Jilli - speaking of being pure-minded, I posted a comment on Facebook about a phallic snow thing my daughters' friends had build on a local traffic island. Then two old friends came in and posted rude stuff about it. I was then wondering which of the 3 daughters we have between us (4 if you include my stepdaughter), would say 'MOTHER!' and raise an eyebrow first. They've all been strangely silent. LOL

8:35 pm

sad result to the Massachusetts election

I've no idea about any US election thing. Sorry.

8:38 pm

Mom

you are very welcome Pini

8:39 pm

lbdawger

hi herin

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

It is sad jilli but I gather the Republican was the better candidate so for their district it was a good thing, but for the long run and health care reform continuing, it was not such a good thing.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Randall & clue made me think of an old 70s UK TV series. \Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased). It was about the still alive member of the detective agency assisted by his ghostly partner.

8:40 pm

lbdawger

Jac, you and a lot of US citizens are in the same boat.

8:40 pm

Mom

sounds like a good show, Jac

8:40 pm

Jacula

lbd - sorry to hear the US citizens don't know.

8:41 pm

Jacula

Mom - it was at the time.

8:41 pm

lbdawger

ignorance or apathy, not sure which, but it sure shows in how the media covers politics.

8:42 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Back. I would like to give my 2 cents. What I don't understand is the Obama resistance to health reforms and kicking Wall Streets Arse when it comes to big dollars being paid out to executives whilst the tax payers bailed out the big stuff ups.

8:42 pm

Jacula

If no one needs clues, I'llbe off for now. See you all next grid. xxx

those with money, and who can afford the insurance for health care don't want to pay for someone elses care. it's also part of how the insurance companies are run

8:45 pm

redturtlehead

yes, but we are bagging any more historical sites, I hate them! Not sure what my Mom really thinks about them...

8:46 pm

Mom

how was the spa?

8:46 pm

lbdawger

Your mom probably thinks, "i'm on vacation, i'm not hurrying for anything!" lol

8:46 pm

9:40 pm

lbdawger

can you put a hairdryer ne4 it to help the drying along?

9:46 pm

lbdawger

9:57 pm

I am debating getting my hair cut (trimmed) soon, was going to wait until both years of the master's were over, but now think probably a good idea to go short again for student teaching.

9:58 pm

social foundations of education, so anthro, sociology, philosophy, and what i said below

11:25 pm

jillibus

YAY stiddy!!!

11:25 pm

stidmama

disjunctivism, jill? weird idea....

11:26 pm

stidmama

pippin, I think you would get along really well with one of my instructors... I would like to have more time to understand those things, but find his insistence on pushing some of it on us a little tiresome... would rather delve more deeply into actual methodologies.

11:26 pm

jillibus

It's a philosophical concept by the late J.M. Hinton of Oxford (my favourite cousin Michael)

11:27 pm

stidmama

oh! cool, jill!

11:27 pm

jillibus

pippin -- did you ever hear of it? (Disjunctivism)?

11:28 pm

stidmama

you have such interesting relations, jill -- but to be honest, you fit right in with them!

11:29 pm

jillibus

Thanks, stid, but I don't even come close to measuring up

11:29 pm

stidmama

I think you sell yourself short. And I know you dare not insult my intelligence by disagreeing with me *stern mama look*

11:30 pm

jillibus

LOL, stid!

11:30 pm

stidmama

*big grin* I am tired, going to go to sleep in a few. hope you-all will have lovely days tomorrow! (((jill))) (((pippin))) *hugs lurkers too*

11:31 pm

jillibus

stid, you need every minute of available sleep, methinks.

11:31 pm

stidmama

*poof*

11:32 pm

jillibus

where is pippin?

11:37 pm

jillibus

Well, I see she's not online :(

11:37 pm

jillibus

Big lag here, and I guess I'm alone.

11:41 pm

jillibus

Off to FB for a bit, back for the flip

11:53 pm

pippingeek

11:53 pm

pippingeek

11:54 pm

jillibus

good -- now can you answer my question? Have you ever heard of Disjunctivism?

11:54 pm

pippingeek

i have not heard of it, i don't think

11:55 pm

jillibus

Just wondered -- as I said to stid, it's a philosophical concept from the late J.M. Hinton of Oxford

11:56 pm

pippingeek

i'm not sure i fully grasp it by the short wikipedia entry

11:56 pm

jillibus

I think it's pretty abstruse, lol!

11:56 pm

pippingeek

interesting implications, tho, sort of a challenge to Enlightenment empiricism

11:57 pm

gremlinn

what's it saying, that we can't trust anything we sense?

11:57 pm

pippingeek

can i tell you about my awesome night at work?

11:58 pm

cybernan

11:58 pm

pippingeek

that's what i got from it, gremlinn

11:58 pm

jillibus

I asked because J.M. Hinton was my favourite cousin, Michael :)

11:58 pm

gremlinn

brain in a vat kind of argument? Can't argue against it

11:58 pm

jillibus
