I get told "language evolves" but I say no need to have it devolve. Why, when there is a choice between the correct and the incorrect way of saying something, so many choose the incorrect. I was shocked that Anderson Cooper talked about bodies "laying" in the streets of Haiti. Surely he was brought up to use the correct "lying"?
12:16 am

I thought the whole show was terrific -- especially the way the totems changed into trees (or was it the other way around?)
1:57 am
westford
I'm hoping there will be a dvd available of the opening and closing ceremonies and maybe the highlights
1:58 am
jillibus
yes, the totems changed into trees -- I loved that part too
1:58 am
westford
it was so amazing
1:58 am
jillibus

2:02 am
flosey

2:02 am
flosey
aha, was that shortened from a ce****ia
2:02 am
rubyfoo
wasn't sent to the pb, but my punishment was that my screen froze and I had to re-boot!
2:03 am
westford
it always does at this time ruby
2:03 am
jillibus
I really don't remember, flosey!
2:03 am
westford
I just check my email

2:04 am
westford
simon and garfunkel
2:04 am
flosey
oh, hated when they broke up
2:04 am
westford

2:05 am
jillibus

2:05 am
rubyfoo

2:06 am
flosey
how romantic ruby
2:06 am
westford
that is so cool
2:06 am
flosey
if my hubby sang to me, am afraid it would not be at all romantic!
2:06 am
rubyfoo
I was too young for it to be romantic AND he was very unattractive, except for his voice
2:06 am
westford
lol flosey
2:07 am
rubyfoo
but we were surely friends
2:07 am
jillibus
mine couldn't carry a tune to save his life. Couldn't spell either -- today's theme would have been perfect for him.
2:08 am
jillibus
is ci5 a fish?
2:08 am
flosey
same here jilli, doesn't have the patience to spell properly
2:08 am
jillibus
I gave mine a Bad Speller's Dictionary once
2:08 am
westford

2:09 am
jillibus
he really liked it!
2:09 am
jillibus
ty west, you devil you!
2:09 am
flosey
wonder if that would have helped our son jilli - he still spells phonetically
2:10 am
flosey
fortunately, his work is in computers
2:10 am
Dippnall
no fish jilli - nearly girls name - change 2nd letter
2:10 am

2:14 am
jillibus

2:14 am
rubyfoo

2:14 am
rubyfoo
my father, too
2:14 am
jillibus
ty west for the acid
2:14 am
westford

rubyfoo

cold and grey here and they're predicitng precipation

4:21 am
Atalante
cold but not too cold, bit of frost, bright sunshine, blue skies
4:22 am
FMitch
ruby, with the database behind the grid we never know.
4:23 am
FMitch
Ata have you checked email this morning?
4:23 am
rubyfoo
the English (rather than American) dictionary in lexulous is very liberal; it allows naughty words in the game, but never in the chat
4:24 am
FMitch
the DB behind this is Enable and is very quirky.
4:24 am
Atalante
I've only walked the dog for an hour, done half an hour of wii fit, gone shopping ... you want me to read email too??!
4:25 am
FMitch

tks to lynx it was her original clue :-) so I just learned it too
7:07 am
lynxxx
Barry Humphries created his character Edna Everage (Average) being an average Australian working class housewife from Moonee Ponds here in Victoria. Over the years as 'she' has become better travelled and very well known, esp in UK, she has become more extreme and also was made a dame. O am surprised you haven't seen here in the US, she was even in the Aly McBeal for quite a few episodes - perhaps you thought she was a woman!
7:08 am
Uneaixoise
and he/she's done several one man/woman shows on Broadway!
7:08 am
EspritdJean
I've seen him/her, always thought a brit, not ozzie

9:41 am
Anniebrook

9:41 am
Mudd
co 5,14 and co5,16 following it please
9:42 am
bichon
I got it! That was a weird one. ty all for being patient
9:42 am
Anniebrook
you mean before? co 5/14 is to make loving sounds
9:42 am
meliae
past tense of a pigeon or doves song, and change ending to sometimes vowel
9:42 am
Anniebrook
it sure was, bichon
9:43 am
Anniebrook
now I am gone
9:43 am
Mudd
I have the 5,12 for hues, tint, but I am missing the 5,14 and 5,16 after it and cannot find them
9:44 am
Anniebrook
mudd, past tense of loving sounds (think doves)
9:44 am
Mudd
Ah, thank you much
9:44 am
Anniebrook
co 5/16---dove sounds and you see with your **es
9:44 am
Anniebrook
dove sound not sounds
9:45 am
Mudd
I don't know what is with my brain today; I didn't take a tylenol pm last night or anything.
9:45 am
Mudd
Sometimes I think it simply shuts down with short grids.
9:45 am
Anniebrook
co 5/16 --dove sound and you see with your **es
9:46 am
Mudd
Of course, once I got the co 5,16 from your clues, the 7 was a cinch.
9:46 am
Anniebrook
oh good! not I am really gone.
9:47 am
Mudd
So did you put a load of laundry in and return to chat with us some more?
9:50 am
Mudd
The four last cy words were new to me.
9:51 am
meliae
~ Firewords ~ finally, what an onery little grid
9:53 am
lbdawger
i think we should get extra points when a babbler's handle is in the grid!
9:53 am
lbdawger
whoooo hooooo MEL!!
9:54 am
Mudd
I agree ibdawger ... mine has been here a time or two
9:55 am
meliae
thank you, I am here back and forth checking e-mails and getting some breakfast made
10:02 am
Mudd
Suddenly the chatter stopped. I was on the phone ... usually buried in the grid, but not this time.
10:02 am
Mudd
I'm plodding along and have finished the a,b,c,d, words.
10:04 am
Mudd
Some of these words are an absolute hoot. That generally happens with shorter grids. I miss the s, n, and t.
10:05 am
meliae
there are some very strange words in the grid today but luckily the placement of the key higher tiles helped with the monkeying, at least for me it did
10:06 am
Mudd
Oh for sure that's true. Many times they are the ones that get me through. Just like that and I am up to the 'l' words.
10:07 am
Marc Freeman
need a clue for my7, please?
10:08 am
Mudd
I'm in the l words, not that far yet Marc. Maybe later if you still need it.
10:10 am

10:13 am
Marc Freeman

My daughter's name is Marcy. Think of how her given name might actually end.
10:18 am
Mudd
There's a bit of her name in the my word.
10:18 am
Marc Freeman
My wifes name is Marci

rumplestiltskin
Hi Harpjane, having my harp regulated next week and all new strings. Quite expensive. Hope I can keep it in tune then.
10:19 am
Mudd
There's no i in my daughter Marcy's name. The fifth letter is a different vowel.
10:19 am
Marc Freeman
Does the my6 work of the 7 or is it completely different
10:20 am
Mudd
You drop the final vowel of the my 6 and change it to two different vowels.
10:20 am
Mudd
My + first three letters of minute part of body, then two vowels.
10:21 am
rururocks
co 6/24?? anyone
10:21 am
Mudd
Build on the co 4,6 a bit above it and add two more vowels. It ends in three vowels altogether.
10:21 am
meliae
add to vowels to the 4/6 Ruru
10:22 am
rururocks
thank you
10:22 am
Marc Freeman
Mudd that would be 7 letters not 6
10:23 am
Mudd
Yes, that is for the my 7. The six has a different vowel than the final two for my 7. Drop two off the my 7 and make a different vowel there.
10:23 am
lbdawger
my6 is my + long stick like veggie grows in bunches---carrot and ****ry sticks
10:24 am

Mudd
Wait until Marc hits the ob words ... a regular medley of vowels.
10:26 am

Two very sad sights in Marks and Spencer's today. 1. Valentine's flowers at half price (looking a bit droopy) 2. A sign indicating a bargain in HOISERY. I took a photo with my phone camera but have no clue how to download it. You'll have to take my word for it.

Hello! We're looking more springlike here as well.
12:02 pm

Snow is bad enough, ice is so treacherous.

She waited periodic tables.
12:10 pm
Soodle
Bottle of Merlot
A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually
attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant.
So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, 'This is from the
gentleman who is seated over there,' and indicated the sender with a nod
of his head.
She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not looking at the man,
then decided to send a reply to him by a note.
The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from
her and conveyed it to the gentleman.
The note read: 'For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a
Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and '7' inches in
your pants'.
After reading the note, the man decided to compose one of his own in
return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him
to deliver it to the lady.
It read:
'Just to let you know things aren't always what they appear to be: I
have a Ferrari Maranello, BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in
my several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami , and a
10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana . There is over billion dollars in my
bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as
you, would I cut off three inches. Just send the wine back....

I like to drink co4
6:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
the long shot is i have awful PND and she said no antibiotics - which of those will help?
6:56 pm
Scrabbler
OTC cold/cough meds = ineffective meds. I would never spend money on them. Also, adverse effects = increased heart rate + BP, nervous system stimulant
6:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
go figure. i think she is whack.
6:56 pm
Scrabbler
I would do saline spray to irrigate nose/sinuses; vaporizer or hot showers
6:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
have done those
6:57 pm
Barb's Horses
Phew...got my bees finally
6:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
time was i would get antibiotics and it would begin to improve in three -4 days.
6:57 pm
Scrabbler
OTC cold/cough meds = worse than placebo as they are not harmless. In Oct 2008 they were banned for kids under 4 yrs and the American Academy of Pediatrics is pushing FDA to ban them for kids under 12.
6:58 pm
wht
Way to Go Monkeys, they played with matches and got fireworks.

I find when used properl that OTC meds help me when I actually have a cold. not think I have one.

i know, my cousin had liver muisfunction but this dr said it was from combined acetominophen.
6:58 pm
stidmama
hello all ((cousin)) is your migraine better?
6:58 pm
Scrabbler
A normal co4, which medically = viral sinusitis, will last 10-14 d. Antibiotics should not be used before that.
6:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think it is a sinuc infection at this point, which i was trying to head off
6:58 pm
jillibus
YAY wht!!!

6:59 pm

SO before i starve to death, what can i take for PND?
6:59 pm
stidmama
how's this grid?
6:59 pm
redturtlehead
I am surprised that we all had migraines on the same day!!!!
6:59 pm

Maybe she thought it was a mild cold.
6:59 pm
Scrabbler
Be patient, Owl, and let your body (immune system) take care of things. Have faith in your army!
7:00 pm
wht
It is small but nasty. Too many vowels
7:00 pm
jillibus
I thought it was doable with help, stid -- some weirdos, of course
7:00 pm
Scrabbler
I wouldn't take anything, Owl. Irrigate, blow, cough, spit
7:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
no i must stop this symptom. whit i don't go to the doctor for a cold.
7:00 pm
redturtlehead
I am pleased to be over half way and can not decide what to eat. I gave up take out pizza for lent, and its killing me.
7:00 pm
stidmama
well, I will play for about ten minutes, then dive into this paper.
7:01 pm
Scrabbler
A cold is a sinus infection, but viral, thus antibiotics will not help.
7:01 pm
stidmama
the words are weirdos, jill -- or the helpers? *wicked mama grin*

multitasking is not good for the brain, Owl
7:09 pm

i no longer think it's multitaksing for me. i think it's add
7:09 pm

I do it often. right now I am sharing photos with my Mom and watching olmpics, and babbling...and thinking about me**
7:09 pm
stidmama
I can't even monotask tonight!!! I feel like I am trying to revisit last week's migraine, and I still don't have the refill on the meds. *sigh* any ideas, cousin?
7:09 pm
JBV
we all do it, it's just not very satisfying or even effective most of the time
7:09 pm
Scrabbler
Well, multitasking can lead to inattention.

hmmm missing one of the e's
7:10 pm

which ones do you have, barb? And aren't you using Lickety's list?
7:10 pm

You have another migraine starting? I take 440 mg of naproxen at onset and that works 80% of the time, in terms of aborting the episode
7:10 pm

yeah got it woo hoo

it's better than nothing, which was my other option.
7:12 pm
Scrabbler
Other people take a triptan
7:12 pm
stidmama
actually, the other other option is to take excedrin which... to be honest I DO want to sleep tonight!
7:12 pm
wht
Make that an em4
7:12 pm
jillibus
I hope you're having an abortion, stid. (No, I know, not funny)
7:12 pm
stidmama
I don't have triptans... trazodone I use for sleep, but that's a different type of antidepressant I think
7:12 pm
Scrabbler
What do you usually take, Stid?
7:13 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, it is an antidepressant that is quite sedating
7:13 pm
jillibus
what happened to that old-fashioned migraine remedy -- ergotamine?
7:14 pm
Scrabbler
Triptans work better and are safer
7:14 pm
stidmama
ergotamine I had when I was in high school -- the caffeine it came with kept me up ALL NIGHT!
7:15 pm
Scrabbler
Do you take any preventive meds or remedies, Stid? I use generic Migrelief--vit B complex, magnesium + feverfew
7:15 pm

well, darn. stidkid#2's trombone teacher just called and canceled. He has some sort of nasty virus, poor guy.

topamax is good for migraines

you mentioned it last week. I don't, Scrabs, but then the migraines were almost gone until last week, after I eliminated wheat.
7:16 pm
BiancaM
but it is heavy duty
7:16 pm

hello Bianca!

Yes, commonly used as prevention, but it makes some people zombies
