12:54 am

jillibus

a Dame isn't royal, Pav -- it's like a Sir

12:55 am

PAV3

yes, but I thought only the Queen could bestow the OBE, etc., I just didn't want to offend any would be royals who thought I shouldn't be handing out titles willy nilly, or willy Jilli, so to speak...

12:56 am

Oh, I see, Pav. Any real royals around? *looks all over*

2:14 am

jillibus

Haz1558

Jillibus, combine them with thread and it's one of my top ten hates.

2:28 am

jillibus

haha! I thought you meant injections

2:28 am

FMitch

I do all her sewing and she does my ironing in return!

2:29 am

flosey

Haz, reminds me of my sister, at the end of the year she brought home an unfinished apron - grade 9 or 10??

2:29 am

Haz1558

Oh, injections aren't a problem! It's the prospect of being asked to do something with the sewing variety that makes me shudder.

2:30 am

jillibus

I liked sewing, embroidery, etc, when I had more time

2:30 am

flosey

ah, it's the injections that make me shudder

2:30 am

jillibus

Even darned a sock the other day.

2:30 am

Haz1558

Hole in sock = bin.

2:31 am

FMitch

I love embroidery too jilli - am hoping to make some time for it this year and finish a couple of projects that have been on the go for ages.

2:51 am

FMitch

2:52 am

jillibus

2:52 am

Haz1558

FMitch

Yay congrats jilli!!

2:52 am

Haz1558

Well done, jillibus.

2:52 am

lynxxx

2:53 am

FMitch

2:53 am

jillibus

thnks all, and thanks for the help!

2:53 am

FMitch

I only have fighting and two person musical things.

2:53 am

Haz1558

To rhyme with what a nurse takes when holding your wrist and looking at a watch.

2:53 am

rururocks

wow.. look out gremlin.. jilli is getting her game on

2:54 am

FMitch

Hello ruru!

2:54 am

Haz1558

It's an anagram of the fights.

2:54 am

rubyfoo

gd morning everybody

2:54 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruru.

2:54 am

rururocks

hi FM

2:54 am

jillibus

You jest, ruru :D

2:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, ruby.

2:54 am

rururocks

are you guys ashed out...??

2:54 am

FMitch

and hello ex birthday girl :)

2:54 am

rubyfoo

hello haz

2:54 am

jillibus

hi ruru and ruby

2:55 am

FMitch

No ruru, it is too high up in the stratosphere but is affecting many countries aiports.

2:55 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby!

2:55 am

rubyfoo

and jilli and ruru and FM. I don't feel older, but my husband sent me a note adding a year to my age! For a minute, he had me fooled

2:55 am

Haz1558

It's getting pretty serious, ruru. The knock-on effects are going to be huge. Thousands stranded who can't get home and it may last into next week.

2:55 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

2:55 am

rubyfoo

I think the ramifications of this ah mess will go on for weeks!

2:56 am

FMitch

not to mention international courier services and import/export of produce. They say that HEathrow may well be shut down until Friday.

2:56 am

rururocks

of course all of you in England are willing to house all these stranded people?

2:56 am

Haz1558

ruru, I'm talking about people from Britain who are stranded abroad. They've had their holiday, now can't get home.

2:56 am

FMitch

Heaven help us if the big volcano starts errupting.

2:56 am

rubyfoo

yes, have you all been asked about spare rooms and non-paying guests?

2:57 am

Haz1558

And of course, it works both ways, people who've been here and can't get away.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

all of a sudden, I think a lot of people are becoming aware of "global" community issues. Before, they said "Iceland, where's that?" Not now

2:58 am

FMitch

mmm just shows how dependant we have become on air transport for a myriad of reason (not just holidays)

2:58 am

lynxxx

Buses and trains services must be swamped

2:58 am

rururocks

nothing like being stranded in airports for days to make a memorable vacation

2:59 am

FMitch

yes EuroStar is fully booked and most of the ferries are reporting high bookings.

2:59 am

Haz1558

Ferries are running at full capacity but they still can't cope with the numbers.

2:59 am

Haz1558

No point in staying at the airport, they're pretty much ghost towns at the minute.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

can you imagine being at the end of a package tour, not having extra money, and being stuck in a city like London or Frankfurt or Paris?

3:00 am

FMitch

Caught a snippet on the BBc this morning that any *air mail* letter from the UK are beeing driven to Spain and then flown out from there!

3:01 am

Haz1558

They'll find ways and means of doing all sorts of things, it just makes everything feel less certain and normal.

3:01 am

rubyfoo

what I don't understand is the visible anger of some of the passengers. Who are they blaming?

3:02 am

FMitch

I bet the conspiricy theorists are having a field day.

3:02 am

Haz1558

They're just angry and frustrated - it's even worse when there's nobody to blame and FM refuses to show her face.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

ideo

3:03 am

FMitch

Oh ha ha Haz, now I am to be blamed for natural disaster too? That is a heavy burden to carry.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

sorry, not a word anyway

3:03 am

FMitch

no but change the last letter ruby

3:03 am

lynxxx

A neighbour has erected a sign complaining about Council rates and generally having a rant. Also blames the Council for damage done to his house in the earthquake !

3:03 am

rubyfoo

a little coffeed-up....

3:03 am

Haz1558

We need to consult with Ata to see whether you can be blamed for natural disasters.

3:04 am

rururocks

there is one thing about the ash in France though...

3:04 am

rubyfoo

there are French people in those coastal areas blaming everyone else on their having had houses built in inappropriate areas. Tant pis to them!

3:04 am

lynxxx

good for the vines Ru?

3:04 am

rubyfoo

and for my garden?

3:04 am

FMitch

Seeing as I have to take the blame for so much can I not be exempt from acts of God or even Dr_God :)

3:05 am

rururocks

no.. cuts back on all the cigarettes in outdoor cafes..

3:05 am

lynxxx

lol

3:05 am

rururocks

actually the ash will be really bad for the grapes if it is still around then

3:06 am

rubyfoo

you don't need to smoke, just breathe!

3:06 am

FMitch

Back in 5 one more shot of tea needed.

3:12 am

rururocks

Hi Ruby.How is the garden?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

did you mean me, Christine? hahah

4:01 am

rubyfoo

The garden is beautiful, better every day. However, I was deceived by a tulip-grower, planted 24 supposed-to-be pink tulips and I think they're going to be white!!

4:01 am

macadam

You got me .I wondered if the dust was spoiling the blooms.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

This place knocks me out every spring!

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I've never lived any place with such a clement climate

4:02 am

herinfernallady

Hey

4:02 am

macadam

White tulips will go with anything and just as attractive if not quite what you wanted.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

hi herin!

4:03 am

herinfernallady

how are you all?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I know, but I only use a little bit of white in the garden and these look very strange so far, even the leaves are partly white!

4:03 am

macadam

Morning herin.

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Morning Macadam and Ruby

4:04 am

macadam

Time to leave for a while ,visitors.Back later.

4:04 am

herinfernallady

4:04 am

rubyfoo

bye mac!

4:05 am

herinfernallady

well I got sunbrunt in Autumn

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I can't wait for some real sunshine here; my doctor keeps saying SUN!

4:06 am

herinfernallady

no realy not good

4:07 am

herinfernallady

I don't like gtting sunburnt

4:07 am

rubyfoo

that's because you are young....

4:08 am

herinfernallady

no that is because I am fair

4:09 am

rubyfoo

and, ultimately, it wrecks your skin and gives you wrinkles when you're my age.

4:09 am

rubyfoo

do you have freckles?

4:09 am

herinfernallady

yep

4:12 am

herinfernallady

I was saying that today about sunbaking is bad

4:13 am

rubyfoo

yes, and dangerous for melanoma

4:13 am

rubyfoo

but, at my age, it is good to get sun for ones bones!

4:14 am

herinfernallady

I mean baking not just putting sunscreen on.

4:15 am

herinfernallady

I saw a girl I went to school with and I swear she looked in her 40's due to sun baking

4:15 am

rubyfoo

when I lived in Miami I was chestnut-colored most of the year. It looked great then, and now I look like a prune!

4:17 am

herinfernallady

opps

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to reach half before lunch....

4:18 am

herinfernallady

5:55 am

lynxxx

wb FM. Just finished watching new DrWho. VG! like Alice in Wonderland

5:56 am

FMitch

Hi lynxx, am not convinced by the new Dr Who, does not have me gripped like the last couple but am keeping an open mind.

5:57 am

lynxxx

Each is special, I think this one is very kooky. I love the new way of filming - directing. Does it continue like that?

5:57 am

FMitch

Bought a great bargain at the local car boot this morning 6 very well established geraniums for Â£5, at the garden centre they would have cost at least twice that.

5:58 am

FMitch

we aWe had episode 3 last night and I guess the answer to your question is yes.

5:59 am

EspritdJean

hello friends over the world

5:59 am

lynxxx

Do you know when/how to prune geraniums? I only have one that a nice neighbour snapped off for me - a strong vivid pink - but I want to keep it bushy and not sure how

6:00 am

FMitch

Hi Esprit

6:00 am

lynxxx

hi Espritd

6:00 am

EspritdJean

6:01 am

EspritdJean

snip even

6:01 am

EspritdJean

just got up

6:01 am

FMitch

Not sure lynxx as am going through a steep learning curve here as haven't gardened in a long time. The way i am learning is by googgling things.

6:01 am

lynxxx

mmm not sure, the parent plant is very leggy and mine is heading that way already

6:02 am

lynxxx

good idea FM, will do too

6:02 am

EspritdJean

just keep trimming it

6:02 am

FMitch

Taking off deadheads encourages new flower but not sure how you keep one bussy as there are so many varieties in the Pelagonium family

6:02 am

FMitch

*bushy even

6:03 am

EspritdJean

feed it ice cream and pizza, that keeps me full and round ;-p

6:03 am

FMitch

I even tried identifiying a lant by typing in the description of the leaf the other day and found it pretty much straight away.

LOL Esprit

6:04 am

FMitch

*leaf!! for heaven sake my typing is getting worse than ever!

6:05 am

FMitch

What time is it with you Esprit?

6:05 am

EspritdJean

EspritdJean

6:09 am

FMitch

The volcano is causing so many probs for airlines and businesses all over Europe now and as there is no wind it seems it will stay the same for a while yet.

6:10 am

Norma

It is still erupting and there is a danger the big one will erupt, just goes to show mother nature rules

6:10 am

EspritdJean

Mother Nature is still the boss

6:10 am

FMitch

Norma

Just goes to show what a small world we live on when something 1000 miles away can cause such chaos

6:11 am

lynxxx

en6 - the whole

6:11 am

Norma

If you hadn't pointed it our FM I probably would have missed it again lol

6:12 am

EspritdJean

where is your daughter Norma?

6:12 am

Flask1

thanx lynxxx

6:12 am

FMitch

en6/24 - a being a life force and also a word that is used a great deal in Sci Fi films

6:12 am

lynxxx

en6 actually maybe not 'the whole' but a being

6:12 am

Norma

She is at home in the UK she should have been flying to the Balearics

6:13 am

FMitch

What a shame Norma, will she be able to get a refund?

6:13 am

EspritdJean

I have a son in China, fortunately not near this earthquake or the last one 2 years ago

6:14 am

FMitch

There was an interesting discussion about refunds and liability on the BBC this morning.

6:14 am

Norma

That is something to be grateful for Esprit ... you never stop worrying about them do you lol

6:14 am

FMitch

Thank goodness for that Esprit!

6:14 am

6:14 am

FMitch

TTFN lynxxx

6:14 am

rubyfoo

hello again.. What I have learned about gernaiums and hardy geraniums in my "vast" 11 yrs of gardening is: 1) you can keep the window-box geraniums in the garage all winter, watering them once a month, and then put them in the ground when frost is past, 2) always deadhead and don't give plant food or they grow leaves and too tall for window boxes

6:15 am

herinfernallady

hello agin

6:15 am

FMitch

oh thanks for the tips ruby and hello! and hello herin.

6:15 am

EspritdJean

wow, it didn't say anything about my suggestion to feed pizza and ice cream?

6:15 am

Norma

My daughter didn't have any bother with the airline she was flying with FM they just re-booked for next week, but I believe a lot of the airlines are being difficult

6:15 am

rubyfoo

what's for dinner lynxx?

6:15 am

EspritdJean

hi herein

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I never knew that and always threw them away until 2 yrs ago. They are lovely in border gardens

6:16 am

FMitch

*feeds Esprit ice cream and pizza* as she is obviously wanting that forbreakfast :)

6:16 am

rubyfoo

hi jean

6:16 am

EspritdJean

6:17 am

EspritdJean

6:17 am

herinfernallady

I had dinner and really should be doing an essay due tommorrow but just is not feeling the love of it

6:17 am

rubyfoo

oh, cold pizza, left in the box over night, is one of the "great " breakfasts. [that's very New York, I'm afraid]

6:17 am

FMitch

HAve to say that the light aircraft round here are having a field day as the skies are clear of commercial jets - have many buzzing little planes crossing the skies a.t.m

6:17 am

EspritdJean

yes, never developed a taste for cold pizza, needs at least a few sec in the micro

6:18 am

rubyfoo

however, the Sicilian tries to make couscous but doesn't have a clue. I could teach him but then, again, if I felt likecooking, I would!!!!

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Snap on that Esprit

6:18 am

rubyfoo

don't have a microwave, too old to have learned

6:19 am

EspritdJean

good old oven will do then

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I learned to make couscous from an Algerian in Paris in '68 -- OMG, I'm so old!!!!!

6:19 am

FMitch

I have been know in the past to have left over Indian take away for breakfast - can say it is very tasty.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

but if anybody wants to know how, I can teach you

6:20 am

EspritdJean

how old ARE you?

6:20 am

rubyfoo

I think most leftovers are better than in original state1

6:20 am

FMitch

would love to know ruby, saw a prog the other day where a chef toasted the couscous before poring the water on.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Me? Old 32

6:21 am

FMitch

T'was her birthday eysterday.

6:21 am

EspritdJean

6:21 am

rubyfoo

no no, you put it in a big roasting dish and sprinkle on salted water, then rub it between your hands; then sprinkle on olive oil, then rub it again; then more salty water, then rub it again; then more oil, then etc.

6:26 am

6:27 am

FMitch

How great is that! Hope you all have a wonderful day.

6:27 am

EspritdJean

what was the big hurry ;-D?

6:27 am

rubyfoo

because of babble and facebook, that was the most birthday greetings I've ever received. I am very grateful and feel extremely lucky to have found this community!

6:28 am

herinfernallady

DIdn't want to be ripped of with presents :D

6:28 am

movieman

We will mitch

6:28 am

EspritdJean

we should start our own nation and teach people how to get along

6:28 am

EspritdJean

good thinking herein

6:28 am

FMitch

LOL ruby, I'm a Virgo.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

if FM's b-day is May, I may be able to celebrate it "en face"

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Scorpio Libra cusp

6:29 am

rubyfoo

OK, better consult the charts.....

6:29 am

FMitch

ruby do you think you will have time in your schedule for a Lodon meet up?

6:29 am

rubyfoo

oh, like my son, who is BTW, coming to visit in May, IF he can get on a plane!@

6:30 am

EspritdJean

hopefully the volcano will have finished it's tantrum

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I hope so but still haven't reserved as I am scared about leaving here on many levels.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

my son and wife were coming standby on united, but with the problems, standby's may be put on very long hold.

6:31 am

EspritdJean

where is your son?

6:31 am

rubyfoo

how far are you from London, FM, more than an hour by train?

6:31 am

FMitch

About an hour to central London.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

My son is in Austin TX and is a musician, the leader of whose band died last week at age 26. Son is at 6's and 7's

6:32 am

FMitch

as is Atalante and quite few other babblers.

6:32 am

EspritdJean

oh no, what happened to him?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Perfect, Fm, I am sure we will have time!!!! :D

6:32 am

FMitch

phone back in 5.

6:33 am

rubyfoo

Weird circumstancesof the death; nobody knows exactly yet but son has no band for the moment. Evidently, there's a ten-minute video on you tube of JTWright, and my son is on there, second guitar.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I haven't seen it yet, not very adroit at all this computer stuff

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Ruby do I have you on FB?

6:35 am

rubyfoo

FM: as soon as I make the reservation, we cAn make plans. It would be a hoot, and I'll bring along photos of the "stead"

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I don't think so, herin, I'm nancy kelley, nelliekelley50@yahoo.com

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Yes I am

6:36 am

rubyfoo

is it dangerous, putting my e-mail address on here? My son keeps warning me as he's a computer guy (as well as being a musician!)

6:37 am

rubyfoo

we have a cuckoo living in the field above the house and although I've only seen him/her once, I can here him often. Lovely!

6:37 am

herinfernallady

It is best if you add gaps. Like JaneDo At Yahoo Dot Com

6:38 am

rubyfoo

hear* arghh! my spelling is going down the tubes, clockwise? counterclockwise for you, Heirn? Or is it the other way awound

6:39 am

herinfernallady

No idea I can't be bothered getting up to check that one :D

6:39 am

rubyfoo

what will they take from me, the internat pirates, my foot-printed floors?

6:40 am

herinfernallady

no idea

6:40 am

rubyfoo

if you flush the toilet, you can tell....:D

6:40 am

rubyfoo

or my messy studio

6:40 am

herinfernallady

I put up my ''spam'' account that way I get stuff but if it gets influx of spam so be it

6:41 am

rubyfoo

that's a good idea!

6:41 am

herinfernallady

man It is nearly 10pm and I still haven't started my essay

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Just can't do it

6:42 am

rubyfoo

in a mother's voice "get to work, Herin!!!"

6:42 am

rubyfoo

at 10PM I am always wrapped in a duvet and watching TV, not eactly energetic at night!

6:43 am

FMitch

Back, ruby best not to put yr email addy in the chog as you never know who is going to pick it up, you can put it in your profile which is safer.

6:43 am

herinfernallady

my response bite me

6:43 am

rubyfoo

ok, never again.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

lol, herin!!!!

6:44 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I love your puppies

6:44 am

rubyfoo

that has appeared on TV in the last year or so. Where did that come from?

6:44 am

rubyfoo

So do I!

6:44 am

herinfernallady

seriously need more sleep. I think 944pm is too late to SMS my teacher

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I think I would go bonkers without my pups!

6:45 am

herinfernallady

o bugger I forgot to hang out the washing and bring it in

6:45 am

FMitch

I am amazed by how much confidential information do put in this log because they feel comfortable here but there are always people lurking who don't even need to have a babble account to see the chat as it shows up on the very first screen before you log in (or it used to - been so long since I logged out I am not sure).

6:45 am

rubyfoo

Can we help? What is the paper about? You never know what resources you might find here. I'm good for art history and cooking.....

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Um its a paper on Human Resources and a dream job and writing KPI's and I really can't be stuffed

6:46 am

rubyfoo

What I never put is banking info or my real age (lol) but otherwise, I think facebook is probably the real achilles' heel

6:46 am

FMitch

urg HR, a nightmare!

6:46 am

herinfernallady

I never put in FB status ''Going out to do this or personal info''

6:46 am

rubyfoo

I once got a great job making up a truly fictitious marketing plan, using everybody I knew in any related area. And it worked!

6:47 am

FMitch

Nothing like utilising resources ruby!!!

6:47 am

rubyfoo

But don't tell my husband, because it was his company that gave me the job! HAHAHAH

6:47 am

FMitch

LOL!

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Well that is rude. I have my name in the White Pages with my mobile umber

6:48 am

rubyfoo

I think we all have funny (hahah or peculiar) lives in different ways. This is a very interesting group!

6:49 am

FMitch

What is rude herin?

6:49 am

rubyfoo

What is rude? How I got my job? I was starving to death in NY at the time....

6:49 am

herinfernallady

No the fact that My name is in the White Pages with my mobile number and No body asked me

6:50 am

FMitch

Ahh OK.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

I bought a mobile phone and couldn't figure out how to use it. Too old, I guess, and I shudder at the idea of the phone ringing

6:51 am

herinfernallady

AND fb just changed there settings again ffs

6:51 am

rubyfoo

Oh, I understand. That's like the phone company listed our fax number and I get telemarketers on the fax machine and have to run downstairs to disconnect!

6:51 am

rubyfoo

fb's settings are very annoying!

6:51 am

FMitch

ruby you ne4 a course on modern technology to become more independant.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

when/if my son comes in May, perhaps he can help sort me out. The only thing I can do is type well, having earned my living that way through school, etc.

6:53 am

FMitch

I know hun, you ne4 to make a long list of things for him to do *grin*

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I am not listed which is a pain and I didn't think they listed mobiles

6:54 am

rubyfoo

like sort out my 1000's of photos. I had a friend come and enter some photos and she wound up copying everything multiple times. AAArghh!

6:55 am

rubyfoo

We are listed but only husband's name, not mine. I never changed it after we married. He doesdn't like it, but I think it was a smart move.

6:55 am

FMitch

Unfortunately they list everything these days herin unless your country has opt out options in place. but even then other countries can still contact you :(

6:56 am

rubyfoo

I think, in the end, I am not a very nice person!!!!

6:57 am

herinfernallady

Well I like to be private as I have too many freaks that irritate me

6:58 am

FMitch

Don't go down that route ruby - we all have our drawbacks.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

what kind of freaks, herin, I hope not from babble. Maybe from the phone book or from school?

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Lets just say the kind of freaks I don't want on a leash tied to my bed

6:59 am

sukee

I have call display, I don't answer numbers I don't recognize. That cuts down on frustration. If it's important I figure they will leave a message

7:00 am

sukee

and good morning

7:00 am

FMitch

Yup good point sukee and Hi.

7:00 am

rubyfoo

hi sukee. When a telemarketer calls, I say I don't speak French

7:01 am

rubyfoo

if they get nasty, I just hang up. If they call back (and it has actually happened), I make my husband answer the phone

7:01 am

FMitch

It is 1pm here and time for lunch, thanks for the chat and TTFN.

7:01 am

rubyfoo

bye FM, see you later, I'm going to take my siesta!

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Bye FM

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Sukee I mean now you can pick my last name and get the address hence the reason i don't have a lot of info out there

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I think lady is a sufficiently obscure last name! lol

7:03 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I am not lucky to have a common last name though.

7:04 am

rubyfoo

mine is ordinary, but not for France, and nobody has it

7:05 am

rubyfoo

Ireland or the US would be a different story!

7:09 am

herinfernallady

I am going through my FB to delete things that are irrelevant

7:10 am

rubyfoo

is that possible? I thought FB kept everything, forever, like google

7:11 am

rubyfoo

bye for now, nap time!

7:13 am

herinfernallady

enjoy

7:51 am

8:37 am

Patxxx

Sorry should have shielded part of that sentence. Me idiot.

8:37 am

Mom

oh Pat, that must be awful

8:38 am

guernseygirl

it's strangely quiet without any planes, even though i don't normally notice them particularly

8:39 am

Patxxx

Well, the mother in law can't complain about the dust or the dirty car. Some advantages. No hols booked but can say couldn't go to 'somewhere very expensive' as no flights.

8:39 am

Mom

you get so use to hearing them

8:41 am

guernseygirl

it shows that the Earth is still more powerful than humankind, despite all our technology

8:41 am

Mom

agreed Guernseygirl

8:42 am

Patxxx

Help please: I changed my icon yesterday and although I have been in and out of the grid loads of times, no success.

8:42 am

hootowl

I kept telling them not to piss her off!

8:42 am

Mom

8:42 am

Patxxx

It has loaded on my page!

8:43 am

Patxxx, after you changed your icon, refresh and then when you are back into your account refresh again?

8:43 am

Boobear

Hi Hoot and Patxxx

8:43 am

Mom

I am seeing Betty Boop

8:45 am

hootowl

Hi Boo - I only see BB when I click on icon. Otherwise just some small blobs

8:46 am

hootowl

My eyes - not your picture

8:46 am

Patxxx

Thank you all. I did refresh and refresh but when you say go it did. My Dad had that kind of power.

8:48 am

Boobear

Patxxx , are you new to babble

8:53 am

Patxxx

No Boobear but I rarely change my icon. I'm not new to computers either but they have been my work machine and I never had time to delve into 'how to do', nor do I understand the lingo. Well, I'm not a novice but like the car I leave the fiddly bits to the mechanic.

8:55 am

Boobear

ok I was wondering and I have never seen you here before.. Glad you are here with us

8:56 am

guernseygirl

Boobear, havc you changed your icon recently? i don't remember seeing this one before

8:56 am

Boobear

yes I changed it the other day

8:57 am

guernseygirl

i like this one. what is it?

8:57 am

Patxxx

Betty Boop wasn't my original choice but the others pics didn't transfer. Obviously my ineptitude Boobear and I did do as instructed.

8:57 am

Boobear

ty,it is a murano glass tree

8:58 am

guernseygirl

8:58 am

Boobear

If so, follow Mr Quayle with a couple of vowels.

10:20 am

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens.

10:21 am

rururocks

does that mean potato?

10:21 am

Dorens

how's the air up there, Haz?

10:21 am

Paying the price, now, though. We didn't finish till 5.00am - so I am a bit dilapidated today.

good luck all-bbl

10:22 am

You're welcome, ruru.

10:23 am

rubyfoo

very nice, thank you, husband was lovely about 80% of the time! lol

10:23 am

Soodle

Haz, have you noticed ashy stuff on cars etc? My car is covered with the stuff, yet the skies are clear.

10:23 am

Haz1558

It's at about 30,000 feet and miles across the Irish sea. No ash at ground level here so far.

10:24 am

Haz1558

You're sure your neighbours haven't been shaking their rugs over your car?

10:24 am

rubyfoo

nothing here, just a general haze, but not different from often

10:24 am

rururocks

I think the country of Iceland should pay for a carwash for you soodle

10:24 am

Soodle

LOL

10:24 am

Boobear

clue for the last de 4/7

10:24 am

rururocks

given you are hung-over and all that

10:24 am

rubyfoo

still working on Mr. Quayle.....

10:24 am

Haz1558

Iceland has no money to pay for anything...

10:24 am

Soodle

Thank you Ruru. We'll start a campaign...(tho' I don't think Iceland can afford it...

10:24 am

rururocks

then ask BJork to pay for it

10:25 am

rubyfoo

somebody said they're giving the UK ash instead of cash....

10:25 am

rururocks

she can afford it..

10:25 am

Haz1558

de4/7 - same structure but different first vowel from periods of time of 24 hours.

10:25 am

Dorens

saturday night live did a funny sketch about bjork talking to the volcano..

10:25 am

Soodle

Lol

10:25 am

rubyfoo

is it on you tube?

10:26 am

Dorens

probably.. and if not give it a day or two... it was on last night

10:26 am

Haz1558

da5/12 - Mr Quayle plus two of the vowels used to say that you will pay somebody back money.

10:27 am

Soodle

That DA 5/12 word always reminds me of Hawaii 5 O. Remember Jack Lord's catch phrase - Book 'em ****

10:27 am

You're welcome, Boo.

the lead of my son's band died last week and evidently there's a you tube video of him, JTWright and Solstice. My son is the hefty one playing bass!

10:27 am

Haz1558

You're showing your age, Soodle...

10:28 am

Soodle

My grandmother was only telling me about it the other day....

10:28 am

rubyfoo

soodle was probably a little kid!

10:28 am

Dorens

i will try to remember that and watch later, ruby

10:28 am

rubyfoo

Ii still haven't seen it, but John said it's great!

10:29 am

10:29 am

Haz1558

There are 3, ruby.

10:29 am

Dorens

don't ask me.. i've just started and have none

10:30 am

rubyfoo

usually I give clues that everybody already has!

10:30 am

rubyfoo

de7 pt of heavy rain and de7 peaceful agreement. What's the 3rd one?

10:30 am

Dorens

well i found one, but you probably already have it

10:31 am

Haz1558

de7 - superlative of de4/6.

10:31 am

Dorens

okay, amended... i found one and you DO already have it

10:31 am

Boobear

there are two de's

10:31 am

Dorens

10:32 am

Haz1558

The longest word in the grid, I mean.

10:32 am

10:38 am

10:39 am

Dorens

(that's an old USA advertising slogan for salt)

10:39 am

rubyfoo

Morton's salt!

10:39 am

Dorens

honestly i'm not sure. i'm trying to find the congratulatory aspect of it, ruby. there are some good points here - not a hell of a lot though. i was sort of surprised, myself

10:40 am

Haz1558

It seems to be the case, Dorens. I hope things get a bit less nasty soon.

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

oh no; shall i read back?

10:40 am

rubyfoo

I'm sorry if you are having a hard time....

10:40 am

Dorens

it certainly changes my outlook for the future. nothing to read back (except i'

10:40 am

apparently lost my job now too

I just meant about Dorens' job - I kind of keep abreast of news even if I'm not always around.

10:41 am

Haz1558

Well done, Mudd.

10:41 am

Mudd

Oh, Dorens, so sorry to hear that.

10:41 am

Dorens

i think i will change the topic now. and i'd better tell my kids (haven't yet) just in case one of them decides to play today. which is unlikely, but you never know. and they should hear this from me. it kind of affects them too

10:41 am

Dorens

yay mudd

10:41 am

rubyfoo

I'll be online in 1 1/2 hours

10:41 am

Dorens

haz is the keeper of the threads of our lives....nice to know

10:42 am

rubyfoo

ariadne, haz!

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i thought the job was a done deal, at le5 until the end of the summer to see if things improve.

10:42 am

Dorens

i will probably be outside in my garden bemoaning the death of my large areas of pachysandra

10:42 am

rubyfoo

is that the right one?

10:42 am

Dorens

yes, owl, it is.

10:42 am

Haz1558

I'm just awfully no5/14.

10:43 am

Haz1558

But Dorens, understandable if you want to change the topic.

10:43 am

Mudd

ty and toodle-loo

10:43 am

Dorens

but really, it's good to know that there's always someone to fill us in on others' news. cause we're not always on at the same time

10:43 am

rubyfoo

no, you are warmly concerned for all of us; that's my impression. I've only been here since December and I feel like a part of this special world.

10:43 am

Dorens

oh you are ruby.. you're on my list to visit the next time I'm in France

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm i guess my plans for iceland will have to wait

10:44 am

when the wheels come off, it's wonderful to know that we can talk about it and get good advice.

10:44 am

rubyfoo

dorens: you are officially invited!!!!

10:44 am

Dorens

that's right owl... you were seriously considering that, right?

rubyfoo

and it's very private

10:45 am

rubyfoo

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

10:46 am

rubyfoo

I think this isn't a good week for booking tickets. Son is try to come and is having trouble booking. June wd be better!

10:46 am

Dorens

i was not truly serious ruby... at least not about the booking now. if i have no job next year i will try for september, depending on the airports

10:47 am

Dorens

oh haz, i am most deefinitely considering that! he doesn't lock his door!

10:47 am

Haz1558

You're saving him from his liver getting pickled. It's being helpful.

10:47 am

Dorens

ruru, ken and i are no longer. I am still renting the house in sonoma for that week though, so hope to meet you. but i am losing access to the 4,000 bottle cellar

10:48 am

Dorens

you have such a refreshing perspective, haz

10:48 am

rururocks

oh.. that's too bad.. well in Sonoma you have access to mine

10:48 am

Haz1558

It's called having a twisted mind.

10:48 am

Dorens

*smile*

10:48 am

rururocks

(plus think about all the calories you are saving him)

10:48 am

phaeton

10:48 am

Haz1558

Truly, I'm sorry that you're going through this trauma, it can't be easy.

10:48 am

Dorens

i think 3 or 4 bottles are fair

10:49 am

Haz1558

Hello, phaeton.

10:49 am

rururocks

go through the cellar.. I will tell you which ones to take

10:49 am

Dorens

no, it isn't but i think i'm somewhat in shock. and also not quite totally devastated, because although i was fond of him, we weren't really the best match.

10:49 am

phaeton

need a clue for the as6, please?

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

itake it it was not mutual then

10:50 am

Dorens

no, not rude. no worries

10:51 am

phaeton

phaeton

and Haz :)

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

then if i go up for a concert sooon i will call you, if not busy perhaps will go?

10:51 am

Dorens

one of the benefits is that i will hae more time for chat instead of having to rush through the grid cause i needed to spend time with him. that is a +, yes?

10:52 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

10:52 am

rururocks

that is one positive..

10:52 am

Haz1558

Was babble a problem for him?

10:52 am

rururocks

maybe there is a dating service for people with large wine cellars and lots of money

10:53 am

Dorens

ruru, HE's the one with the cellar and money and HE doesn't need the dating service

10:54 am

Boobear

I am missing a de4/5 in the middle. Which one is it?

10:54 am

Dorens

dating service for someone looking for wine cellar and money and general all around companion, now that's what i need

10:54 am

rururocks

I meant a service listing nice guys with big cellars

10:54 am

Soodle

Were you together long, Dorens?

10:54 am

Dorens

Haz1558

No problem Boo, glad you got it.

10:56 am

Soodle

You must be in a bit of a heap at the moment Dorens, but, life is swings and roundabouts....You will bounce back!

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

Atalante

lol fab

2:32 pm

dcseain

outside of my mother, most i know would get it, but yes, point taken doren

2:32 pm

Dorens

i enjoy all tracey kidder books, but it is kind of heavy on the sanctifying of this man (who is quite saintly actually) if you haven't read people of thebook by geraldine brooks, i recommend that first

2:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok. did you tell me about girl with the dragon tattoo?

2:33 pm

dcseain

gosh, the dishwasher is loud today. i wonder why. May be the big correlle bowl maybe.

2:34 pm

Dorens

2:34 pm

Atalante

dragon tattoo is soooooooo wonderful

2:34 pm

Dorens

and the next just as good, actually better in some ways

2:34 pm

Joanne123

Uneaixoise

movie's coming to our arthouse theater in a couple of weeks -- looking forward to it!

2:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:35 pm

Dorens

ah!! don't know when the third is coming out in the US. very jealous

2:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:36 pm

Dorens

2:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

the lens was to be 1.75 and was misrad and made 1.25, which i imagine caused wuite a bit of eyestrain

2:36 pm

Uneaixoise

okay, peeps, I need a babble nation vote -- someone is selling a canoe/kayak hybrid on craigslist, for a decent price. It's a bit more than what I was looking to spend, but it's also AMAZING and in great shape. Given that I have a) credit card debt b) lawyer's bills and c) no free money, do I go ahead and grab this, or let it go?

3:16 pm

Denny

anyone here from adelaide or the surroudning area?

3:16 pm

Trifioso

The kids and i will use it for YEARS to come, I am sure!!

3:17 pm

bojazz

using the same parameters for myself, Trif, i pass on the deal

3:17 pm

Joanne123

well trif...more debt or enjoyment??

3:18 pm

Atalante

how difficult would it make life for you moneywise?

3:18 pm

Trifioso

yes, but will I enjoy it if the debt is too big?

3:18 pm

Joanne123

exactly

3:18 pm

Trifioso

not sure ata. could spend the same money paying down credit card, or paying down lawyer bill. Also know that money IS coming in settlement, so am cash poor now, but won't be forever

3:18 pm

Joanne123

not worth it in the end

3:19 pm

Trifioso

sigh. ((( whining))) but I waaaaaant it!

3:19 pm

Trifioso

I HATE having to be the grownup!

3:19 pm

Joanne123

yeah but ou don't know when that will happen

3:20 pm

Atalante

could you make him an offer you would ffel happy with>

3:20 pm

Joanne123

trif u know what the right choice is

3:20 pm

Trifioso

have visions of kicking myself later "oh, why didn't I buy that when I had the chance!"

3:20 pm

Trifioso

I did think of trying to talk him down.

3:21 pm

Atalante

could always ask!

3:21 pm

Joanne123

u will be happier knowing when the bills come in, they aren;t huge

3:21 pm

Atalante

then if he won't, then you know you've tried but can't do it, and if by any chance he will reduce the price, then ...

3:22 pm

Trifioso

phone. brb

3:22 pm

Joanne123

but if you dare trif...be tough with a straight face

3:22 pm

4:23 pm

Atalante

no, they aren't of great interest for about 99.9% of people! I can't say I find them the most fascinating of things either, but I appreciate their beauty!

4:24 pm

gapeach

That is it, thanks much, lynxxx.

4:25 pm

Yes. Thanks for asking, Good Enough.

4:38 pm

Good Enough

my son is a type 1

4:39 pm

gapeach

Does he have to take insulin or can it be controlled with diet?

4:39 pm

Good Enough

do you take insulin or try to control with diet

4:39 pm

Good Enough

lol

4:40 pm

KatieMcG

evening everyone :-)

4:40 pm

gapeach

I don't take insulin and if I'm VERY careful I can keep it within the range. It's difficult because I very much like to eat. HA HA

4:40 pm

gapeach

I don't take insulin and if I'm VERY careful I can keep it within the range. It's difficult because I very much like to eat. HA HA

4:40 pm

lynxxx

Hi Katie. Was thinking of you and hoping your holiday wasn't any time soon

4:40 pm

Michnick

Hello all. I am giving myself 20 more min. and then bed.

4:41 pm

Good Enough

he is on an insulin pump. he was diagnosed at 6 yrs old and is now 15. harder to control blood sugar of a teenager than a child

4:41 pm

lynxxx

hi Mich

4:41 pm

KatieMcG

a week on \tuesday, here's hoping it will be sorted out because it's not looking good at the moment

4:41 pm

Michnick

HI all. My son is in the States and he was supposed to fly to Rome today but he is stuck there.

4:41 pm

Good Enough

peach i can totally understand your predicament. i don't think i could follow the regimen

4:42 pm

gapeach

Oh, bless his heart. Yes, I'm sure it is diffiicule for him (and you)...I know you must worry.

4:42 pm

Good Enough

since he went on the pump his a1c has been very poor, we are really working to get him back into range

4:43 pm

gapeach

I will keep you and him in my prayers.

4:44 pm

Good Enough

thank you, and right back at you!

4:44 pm

gapeach

ty

4:47 pm

KatieMcG

and my lap top has died so I am on hubby's notebook - can't afford the fix until we are back from the holiday we may not be going on!!

4:48 pm

lynxxx

what happens with fares aready paid Katie? or are they covered by insurance

4:49 pm

gapeach

Back in a few.

4:49 pm

KatieMcG

we are covered but if you aren't on a package holiday it can revert back to your insurance but a lot of them are saying that it is an act of god and not covered. That would be bad enough if you lost your money but loads of people are stuck abroad

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

bummer katie

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm an act of nature rather than God

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

4:50 pm

Good Enough

hi jmc

4:50 pm

Michnick

No insurance as far as I can tell, lynxx, it's a natural disaster- at least for my son because he doesn't have a package. The airline is doing its best to re-route but he will be missing out on Rome and my sister. Still I am glad he got a direct flight and is avoiding Europe altogether.

4:50 pm

KatieMcG

I'm still trying to be optimistic lol

4:50 pm

lynxxx

hi jmc

4:50 pm

Hope he gets home soon Mich

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

hope everyone gets home soon

4:54 pm

KatieMcG

*laughing as she finds the volcano*

4:54 pm

Michnick

Thanks, it looks like he can get on a flight on Tuesday evening. He will be home Wednesday night. I am relieved, but he is a little disappointed and nervouse because it makes him another 3 days late for the start of his semester.

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

i suspect he will not be the only one

4:55 pm

KatieMcG

i'm sure they will understand Mich it's not like he has any choice

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

why does that make you laugh katie

4:56 pm

KatieMcG

given that we are worried sick about the holiday being cancelled because of volcanic ash

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

well i hope it resolves itself soon

4:56 pm

Michnick

You're right Katie, but he was supposed to have started Thursday!

4:57 pm

welki

hi, folks

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

hi welki i was thinking of you in Meeting this morning

4:57 pm

KatieMcG

hi welki

4:58 pm

welki

thank you, jmc .. hope i didn't interrupt

4:58 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Welki!

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

no a drive by thought ;-)

4:58 pm

KatieMcG

UK airspace closed until 7pm tomorrow now

4:59 pm

welki

i've never been a drive-by before ... it feels, it feels .. so transient

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

i heard there was fierce lobbying going on to reopen it

4:59 pm

KatieMcG

they are having test flights I think there will be pressure being put on to open it all as the airlines are going to go bump soon if they don't sort it out

5:00 pm

jmcnrick

so sorry welki it is a nice part of Meeting to me to have people go through my mind as I center

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

there was a thing on the news about what happens when aeroplanes get ash in the engines, not at all a pretty picture, of crash boom and flounder and go up in flames.

5:00 pm

Michnick

Well, time's up. I have to get to bed. Night all!

5:00 pm

welki

i hope they take their time. I know it's inconvenient and is costing millions, but i'd hate to think one plane could stall and crash if they don't take every single second they need to make sure it's safe to fly

5:00 pm

jmcnrick

bye mich

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

gn mich, best to your son!

5:01 pm

5:01 pm

ooops

5:01 pm

lynxxx

hi C'nan

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

i listened on the radio to a pilot who flew through ash and all his engines stopped but once he flew past it (with no engines) they came back on again

5:02 pm

redturtlehead

I would not like to be a passenger on that plane jmc!

5:02 pm

welki

lucky guy .. the tiniest bit of ash can foul things up permanently

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

this happened 10 years ago

5:03 pm

redturtlehead

they say that the ash can melt on and clog up aeroplane engines.

5:03 pm

jmcnrick

red would you please type in real words when you type grid words in the chog! lol

5:03 pm

redturtlehead

I will work on it jmc.

5:03 pm

redturtlehead

Heres a clue. We did have a De**** of rain today. hard and heavy.

5:03 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

5:04 pm

mo

just poking my nose in for a second .... but they could fly under it ... it means they will use more fuel,but not lose as much money.

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

ty red

5:04 pm

lynxxx

TY Red - mdidn't have that

5:04 pm

KatieMcG

they are saying that our ash is finer so would be OK but still no new on reopening. BA did test flights today and said that there were no problems

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

hi mo

5:04 pm

mo

and hi all.

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

and pt too!

5:04 pm

redturtlehead

i personally really hate to fly, so I probably would rather cancel and stay home.

5:04 pm

KatieMcG

Hi Mo, yep I have 2 hopes either the one you have outlined or a major change in the weather

5:05 pm

welki

there's only so much air space (believe it or not, mo) ... can't have all the planes flying at the same/near altitudes

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

but even with limited air space it would seem they could let some of the flights happen

5:06 pm

welki

also a great jackson browne song, red .. before the de****

5:06 pm

welki

hehehe, jmc .. which ones? how would you choose which airline to let profit and which one not?

5:06 pm

mo

I agree welki ,but it doesnt have to bring everything to a standstill1

5:06 pm

jmcnrick

draw straws

5:07 pm

welki

i think it's more complicated (or the industry has made it more complicated) than we know

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, in this word, I imagine the airlines owuld have to bid on it...

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

or let each airline fly in turn the flight of their choice

5:07 pm

KatieMcG

but the one to dubai on the 27th from Birmingham should be a clear priority

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

that being your flight katie?

5:08 pm

lynxxx

oh absoltely

5:08 pm

mo

LOL!! KATIE.

5:08 pm

I knew I should have gone to bed. Sorry all but it's not even the word I was trying for. It's the reason I don't chat much cos I don't seem to have the ability to do the grid and the box together. I multi-task a million other ways but when I open a grid my mind is one track.

5:27 pm

Scrabbler

Hi kje

5:27 pm

Scrabbler

What are you ill with, kje?

5:28 pm

kje

lingering URI... cough that won't stop... I think I may develop a hernia here soon... my belly is killing me

5:28 pm

lynxxx

poor kje

5:28 pm

Scrabbler

Aha, atypical pneumonia or pertussis!

5:29 pm

kje

well, I am on day 4 of a z-pack, but may have to do a fluoro

5:29 pm

Scrabbler

Do you have an albuterol inhaler at home?

5:29 pm

kje

no

5:30 pm

welki

is that a variation of, 'physician, heal thyself?"

5:30 pm

kje

but that made me laugh

5:30 pm

kje

that was for scrab, btw

5:30 pm

Scrabbler

Pertussis is also known as the "100-day cough."

5:30 pm

kje

thinking i would have an MDI at home

5:30 pm

welki

and probably made your belly hurt more .. apologies

5:30 pm

kje

my cabinet is not that well stocked at home

5:31 pm

Scrabbler

I have lots of samples here--eye drops, ear drops, asthma meds, oral steroids...

5:31 pm

kje

ty for that encouraging word scrab.....

5:31 pm

Patxxx

Hi Welki, I used to fish. Difficult now and dangerous for a woman alone. I would finish work, collect the kids, the tackle already in the car and as soon as I hit the river bank all my problems disappeared. It almost took over my live. I miss it.

5:31 pm

Scrabbler

Does it feel like a bronchospastic cough?

5:32 pm

welki

join a fishing club, pat, and limit your time to when the club meets ... there's always a way :)

5:32 pm

Scrabbler

Help with 3rd last te6/18?

5:32 pm

cybernan

2nd te 6/18, please?

5:32 pm

kje

hmmmm.... it feels like constant fluid in the throat that triggers the cough... like all my mucus membranes are secreting like crazy.... when I do get something up, it feels like i gorked up a lung

5:32 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, that is the same one I am looking for, Nan.

5:33 pm

Scrabbler

Are you wheezing, kje?

5:33 pm

lynxxx

te6.18 te & famous London landmark - Ne*****'s Column

5:33 pm

welki

well, time for me to unpack and get ready for the work week (been camping) ... later, folks

5:33 pm

kje

no

5:33 pm

Scrabbler

I don't know that famous London landmark

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

ok kje, I will feed you tea with whiskey. I had what you have a fewmonths ago, the cough persisted

5:33 pm

Scrabbler

Bye welki

5:33 pm

kje

and am taking 2 zyrtrec daily

5:34 pm

lynxxx

Ne**** was at Battle of Trafalgar too I think

5:34 pm

cybernan

ty lynxxx -- in trafalgar square isn't it?

5:34 pm

kje

hoping to dry anything up... but just constant secretions down there... but my nose is dry

5:34 pm

lynxxx

or Ne**** Mandela even

5:34 pm

Scrabbler

kje--fever along the way? nasal sxs? SOB? cough more at day or night? cough triggered by laughing?

5:34 pm

kje

i want to die

5:35 pm

Scrabbler

TY for te6!

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, do we need to baker act you , or whatever the tx equivalent is?

5:35 pm

Scrabbler

I have had atypical pneumonia a lot, (usually once yearly)--starts with ST, hoarse voice, moves down into chest and you cough A LOT--it's exhausting!

5:35 pm

cybernan

ae 6?

5:36 pm

Patxxx

I know and you're right Welki but men who fish are not exactly comfortable when they get beat by a woman! I was good but it was all down to patience and I concentrated on ledger/bottom fishing for the bigger fish, which needs oodles of patience. It paid off often. PS Not as big as your big fish or rivers here.

5:36 pm

lynxxx

ae & eat out

5:36 pm

kje

more at night... especially now... did great all day, now getting bad... can't comment on laughing... can get worse if i talk and it gets too dry....no nasal sx, maybe had fever earlier, but don't think so now (no, I do not own a thermometer), started with cough... cough all along.... cough and more cough

5:36 pm

cybernan

ty again

5:36 pm

kje

throat only gets sore after bad coughing

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

sounds a bit like pertussis.

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

it felt like I had the whooping cough.

5:36 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* thanks for the help :)

5:37 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo Nan!!

5:37 pm

kje

i had whooping cough in my early 20s... i thought of it as a deeper cough, and def had that weird sound....

5:37 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Nan!

5:37 pm

Patxxx

Kje. Terrific icon. Love it..

5:37 pm

kje

yayayayayay nan!!!!

5:37 pm

Scrabbler

Then, kje, you are on the right AB. It might be worth trying albuterol. Could you Rx an MDI for yourself?

5:37 pm

nrkii

Kje.. mucinex not an option?

5:37 pm

kje

ty pat, local artist

5:37 pm

kje

mucinex sucks

5:38 pm

kje

and am already on codeine

5:38 pm

kje

tessalon sucks too

5:38 pm

redturtlehead

I looooove tessalon, mostly because for some odd reason it puts me to sleep.

5:38 pm

Scrabbler

Mucinex, codeine and those meds do not work, you know that.

5:38 pm

Patxxx

Wow Kje, If he was local to me I could go bankrupt.

5:39 pm

kje

LOL red... my colleague gave me tessalon... i took 800 one night and finally got some sleep

5:39 pm

nrkii

Mucinex works for me

5:39 pm

kje

name is daniel padillo, pat, he has a website

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

You could take 50 mg of Benadryl before bed.

5:39 pm

nrkii

it doesn't stop the cough, just makes it easier, so my illness last less time

5:39 pm

kje

i prefer to die, scrab... i think that is the only solution....

5:40 pm

Patxxx

Ty Kje will look.

5:40 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Nerky, future Board of Education President!

5:40 pm

kje

no... BORED of education, i believe it was

5:40 pm

nrkii

LOL, I don't think I even want to consider aspiring to that Scrab

5:40 pm

redturtlehead

err kje, you are soon to end up in a psych ward if you keep up that stream of chatting!

5:40 pm

cybernan

bye everyone -- all that fresh air and exercise wore me out :)

5:40 pm

Scrabbler

Do you want ME to call in an Rx for albuterol?

5:40 pm

nrkii

I'll do my 1 year term from now till next April, and then I may be done

5:41 pm

redturtlehead

bye cyber!

5:41 pm

nrkii

5:41 pm

nrkii

5:41 pm

kje

i don't feel like RAD, scrab... but thanks anyway... i should prob get an xray soon

5:41 pm

Scrabbler

Have you listened to your chest, kje?

5:42 pm

kje

no wheezes... can't reach the back well for consolidation...but really, if it get sto that point, i should see a doc - LOL

5:42 pm

Scrabbler

First ty4 please? Monkey seems to have tried everything.

5:43 pm

5:43 pm

kje

babblet

5:43 pm

Scrabbler

Avoid docs whenever possible, kje, you know that.

5:43 pm

Scrabbler

TY, I recall that word now

5:43 pm

nrkii

reassuring to hear that from you Scrab :)

5:44 pm

kje

yes, they teach us that in med school, right?

5:44 pm

Scrabbler

I dislike + distrust docs and have chosen mine carefully. Always ask a doc for the names of their docs.

5:45 pm

lynxxx

are you serious Scrabbs!

5:45 pm

nrkii

My doctor is moving to Oregon... very sad

5:45 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Lynxxx. As an "insider" I know how awful some docs are.

5:46 pm

Scrabbler

I heard, nerky---very sad.

5:46 pm

kje

if you want to call me in a fatal dose of MSO4, you can do that

5:46 pm

nrkii

should I ask her who her doctor is?

5:47 pm

kje

i can come back as a babble ghost

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

kje...hot tea with whisky.

5:47 pm

Scrabbler

MSO4 + Versed + succinylcholine + Ativan = peaceful + quick way to cross over.

5:47 pm

kje

i have no whisky

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

i think the versed and ativan are redundant.

5:47 pm

kje

that sounds good, scrab!!! I'll take that

5:48 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, nerky.

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

you have a place that delivers sushi, dont you have a place that delivers etoh?

5:48 pm

Scrabbler

Is id8 related to id6?

5:48 pm

Scrabbler

5:52 pm

nrkii

1 tbsp honey, 3/4 glass tea, 2 shots bourbon, 1 slice lemon (optional)

5:52 pm

Scrabbler

Still clueless in April?! Not good.

5:52 pm

nrkii

5:52 pm

kje

OK, will let you know how it goes, nrkii

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

who is the MD who tells me to rest when I am sick?????

5:52 pm

nrkii

and you can add whatever spices you like to flavor it up

5:52 pm

kje

seriously, scrab... I am thinking of talking to his program director

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

No intern killing, but intern redirecting.....out of your field.

5:52 pm

Scrabbler

Help with 3rd, 5th + 6th gu words please?

5:53 pm

Good Enough

oh, peace broken by teenager arriving home and POed dinner not on the table *breathes, takes another sip of wine*

5:53 pm

Scrabbler

Why hasn't anyone recognized the clueless intern?

5:53 pm

Scrabbler

College nephew is home.

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

good remind teen that they are eating for free....

5:53 pm

kje

one of his admissions, he tells me has gastroparesis and constipation... then next problem is diarrhea and he has ordered loads of tests... I said, which is it? he can't have both (unless impacted of course)

5:54 pm

Good Enough

like talking to myself sometimes... you know

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

oh blockage.

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

you know where they leak around the blockage, btu...I am just a nurse...dont know as much as the intern, yes.

5:55 pm

kje

next admission... he says lady is c/o dizziness when she turns her head, and sees black spots... says it is BPV... I ask, is this vertigo or light headed, patients use dizzy to mean all kinds of things... so when we see her... sounds like subclavian steal

5:55 pm

jmbdobie2

pb Red!

5:55 pm

kje

every freakin admission he was off EVery ONE

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

Oh, rushes to try to find her PB word!

5:55 pm

kje

makes me nervous as heck

5:56 pm

Scrabbler

Does this intern need to repeat his internship?

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

oh rats, I had it. Waltzes off to the PB to shout out at Scrabbs and KJE.

5:56 pm

jmbdobie2

te**

5:56 pm

Scrabbler

He will be supervising interns + students in just 3 mo!

5:56 pm

kje

I think so... but having only worked with him for 3 days, I will give him a little longer... while double checking everything he does

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

I suppose someone could have a bad day, but....generally its just one or two pts then.

5:57 pm

kje

we have a tiny little woman (youngish though) with advanced lung ca we are moving to hospice, and she is VERY sensitive to narcs... she is getting about 4mg via PCA daily and she stays asleep

5:58 pm

redturtlehead

oh no...

5:58 pm

kje

so yesterday he gets called she is in pain, and orders 3 mg IV MSO4 push... of course,.... knocks her flat out and slows her resp rate a bit, RAT team called and pushed narcan

5:58 pm

redturtlehead

Did the Nurse who called not suggest something smaller? Or start out with 1?

5:58 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, dear. He IS dangerous! Has he killed anyone yet?

5:58 pm

redturtlehead

3 mg is such an odd dose.

5:59 pm

kje

so I ask him today what he learned from that.... he couldn't answer... I said, tell me again how much MSO4 she used the day before.... 3.5mg... so I asked, doyou think 3mg was maybe too much for one dose?

5:59 pm

kje

CLUELESSSSSSSSS

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

He needs to do more than repeat, maybe a career as a pharmaceutical salesman.

5:59 pm

Scrabbler

Dangerously clueless.

5:59 pm

Good Enough

my attempt at peacemaking with the te** has been thwarted *takes bigger sip of wine*

6:00 pm

kje

red - I wish the nurse had said no.... but on our wards, 3mg isn't unheard of, but yes, 2mgs is standard, and usually go up from there, her, I would have given 0.5

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

Uh oh, are we dominating chat? shoudl we talk abotu weather.

6:00 pm

Scrabbler

1st gu5/16 please?

6:00 pm

kje

sorry... will stop bitching.... just makes me want to fire him

6:00 pm

Good Enough

you nurses are making me scared, next time i'm sick i think i stay home

6:00 pm

Scrabbler

Hahaha, GE

6:00 pm

jmbdobie2

25 left.... bbl after resting eyes

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

If I worry I always give like part of the dose i can always give more, but I cant give less.

6:01 pm

kje

excellent idea GE!!! never go to a hospital unles there is no other option

6:01 pm

kje

but red... that is because you are not clueless

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

somedays I feel clueless.

6:01 pm

Scrabbler

kje + I are docs and we agree, GE

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

I got offerred the night charge position at my new hospital 2 days ago....

6:02 pm

Good Enough

sorry, no disrespect intended

6:02 pm

Scrabbler

But you know your limits, I am sure, Red. Health care providers must know when to ask for help, look something up, etc

6:02 pm

kje

are you going to take it? you would be awesome... you seem to have common sense!

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

I really do not know, I dont like that hospital. and sometimes I do not like to be as pushy as the charge has to be, to get people to you know, do their jobs.

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

I have not even been their 90 days, which tells you how "deep their pool is for these things.

6:03 pm

kje

true... you would have to learn some bitchiness - LOL

6:04 pm

6:06 pm

nrkii

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

yes, indeed. I have the job offer from another hospital, and I just got an email from my old hospital telling me she is still trying to get me the infection control position.

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

Nerky!

6:06 pm

kje

i think we scared her off.... she went to console herself in her book of bad diseases she keeps posting things on

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

6:07 pm

Scrabbler

OK, nerky, I was worried about you.

6:07 pm

well I just took another migraine pill, so should be okay by morning. I actually didn't do a lot of schoolwork today (spent an hour in the garden, and two hours with Mother at the farmer's market)

11:43 pm

Pinikula

t'was a gorgeous day out today, wasn't it...

11:43 pm

Pinikula

("doing" my hair while waiting for flip)

11:43 pm

stidmama

how are you today pini? Mother and I are so excited about August... I can hardly wait. Do you have a preference for "venue" for the big group gathering? (not sure how big we'll be, ten might be the tops)

11:44 pm

stidmama

it was a LOVELY day. AND I found out one of my clematis is still alive!

11:44 pm

Pinikula

Nothing in particular...any id5 about where we might all meet? i.e., Olympia, Seattle, Everett, etc...

11:45 pm

stidmama

Olympia is what jmc has been saying... it's cheaper generally, but it's not as convenient for the Canadian contingent... though closer to you of course.

11:46 pm

stidmama

I think Bugs, Flo and Jill don't mind coming all this way.

11:46 pm

Pinikula

I don't know anything much about Olympia except it's the state's capital...Pike Place is always fun!

11:46 pm

Pinikula

(I have some family in Seattle, so it's not too bad.)

11:47 pm

stidmama

okay, we'll have to talk to jmc and see what she wants then (she's the one coming furthest) :-D I am happy to go anywhere.

11:48 pm

Pinikula

I wonder....will she be flying into Seattle or Portland? Will I be transporting? etc...

11:48 pm

stidmama

well, down to 67. that may be as far as I get... will list and see what happens.

11:48 pm

stidmama
