rururocks

12:31 am

gremlinn

R might be a toughie

12:32 am

samnz

I'm guessing it's RH..

12:32 am

gremlinn

yeah

12:32 am

VolleymomDee

found the r... can't find the a in the 2nd column

12:32 am

gremlinn

bottom-left R, that is

12:32 am

VolleymomDee

oops found it... al4... nbt

12:32 am

Douglas

I've noticed that, grem, but it doesn't seem to be the usual rh suspect

12:33 am

gremlinn

it's probably the most commonly occurring rh word over 6 letters, though

12:33 am

jillibus

wtg dee

12:33 am

VolleymomDee

Douglas

Yay jilli! 2 more tiles for minimal nbt

12:42 am

gremlinn

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

12:44 am

dart001

time for list...have to be at airport in 8 hours...shouldn't be staying up all night lol

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

gremlinn

nm, doesn't work

12:46 am

jillibus

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

12:46 am

dart001

'im headed to canada...but closer to dublin than where you are jilli!

12:46 am

gremlinn

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

gremlinn

I've played a hidden object game

12:49 am

dart001

10 days music hiking friends...maybe babble once in a while lol

12:49 am

jillibus

I don't need any more addictions!

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

lol jili... grem, I am finding I like the hidden object games, coupled with "spot the difference" mini games, along with having to solve an overall "whodunnit"... extremely interesting if graphics are good

12:50 am

dart001

volley..is that where they give a list of the objects...but all are hidden in other things?

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

yes

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

can play each one 60 minutes for free at bigfish... then if good, can purchase for 6.99

12:52 am

dart001

my wife played a lot of those where it was timed and she had to find them all

12:52 am

jillibus

are they timed games, dee?

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

quite entertaining... yes, jili 60 minutes...then they have other games besides hidden object... pretty interesting site

12:54 am

jillibus

No timed games for me, thanks.

12:54 am

there is usually somebody crying

4:09 am

herinfernallady

HI. It is soooooo ccold

4:09 am

rubyfoo

that's why we're here, to help

4:10 am

redturtlehead

Well, I am going back to bed for an hour. Warm up herin! and please no crying.

4:10 am

kje

it is a movie quote

4:10 am

rubyfoo

how cold?

4:10 am

herinfernallady

cold

4:10 am

herinfernallady

I am not crying. I am just cold

4:11 am

herinfernallady

About 8c

4:11 am

lynxxx

ooohh - it is cold - only 10 outside

4:11 am

rubyfoo

we have thermometers all over, has helped me "get" centigrade!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

as a rough conversion, I figure 5C = 10F, at least above freezing. Close enough for jazz and sweaters....

4:12 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. This is a grid and a half, isn't it?

4:12 am

lynxxx

you do jazz dancing in sweaters when it is cold?

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx it is about 8 when that horrid wind howls

4:12 am

rubyfoo

hello haz, yes, hard grid

4:12 am

lynxxx

hi Haz!

4:13 am

herinfernallady

Hi Haz

4:13 am

rubyfoo

good way to stay warm but more of a rock and roller!

4:13 am

herinfernallady

You saying that I shouldn't touch this grid?

4:13 am

Haz1558

Hello!

4:13 am

Haz1558

I'm saying that if you start, be prepared to encounter some new words and to have to dredge some old ones from the recesses of your brain.

4:14 am

herinfernallady

wow. I had to do a test today that was worth 40 Marks. It was worth 80 but will be divided in half. I don't think I has the brain.

4:15 am

lynxxx

I read a wonderful thing today Haz. There are some already in Sydney, but in one of our major department stores in Melbourne, they are opening a non appointment breast screening facility free to all (ages too). Situated nicely in the sleepwear and lingerie deparment. Isn't that a wonderful idea!

4:16 am

kje

no

4:16 am

herinfernallady

That is at DJs is it not?

4:16 am

lynxxx

no to me kje?

4:16 am

Haz1558

It will have to be funded by someone - does it say who is behind it?

4:17 am

kje

yes

4:17 am

lynxxx

Government health

4:17 am

kje

it isn't a great idea... convenient yes... but not a good idea.

4:17 am

lynxxx

Why is that kje?

4:18 am

kje

it assumes that screening is necessarily a good thing, and it is true... many should not be screened, and that is a conversation that should be discussed with a clinician, to understand the pros and cons before doing so

4:18 am

lynxxx

I don't see any difference to being appointment free in a department store to be appointment only in some office in a suburb somewhere

4:19 am

kje

well, i guess if you still need a referral?

4:19 am

lynxxx

Ah, I see. We do not have that as normal procedure here anyway kje

4:19 am

lynxxx

No referrals are required at all

4:19 am

kje

i meant it is NOT true... oops...

4:20 am

kje

then no, I don't think self-referral to radiologic procedures, all of which carry risk, is a good thing

4:20 am

herinfernallady

The instore service is staffed by qualified people and I guess you do pay a bit more attention to your boobs when you try on a bra

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Kje: http://tinyurl.com/22pgt7j about the clinic

4:20 am

lynxxx

Currently the mammagrams are sent away to be read by appropriate technicians and results are mailed to you. You would be phoned if you need to follow up with any abnormalities

4:21 am

Haz1558

What about digital mammography, kje?

4:22 am

kje

the point is the same.... the pros and cons are debatable, as is coming out more and more... the harms are more than just x-rays alone

4:22 am

lynxxx

You don't have age related regular breast screening in the States kje? WE do them every 2 years between 50 and 70. Same in the UK

4:23 am

Haz1558

To be honest, this is where lots of people throw up their hands, declare that doctors keep changing their mind about what is good, what is bad for you, and just carry on. Mixed messages are a real problem.

4:24 am

kje

and there you go... here, use to be to start at 30... data has now come out that it causes more harm than good do to unneeded procedures... latest rec is to wait until 50 - causing an uproar from the public b/c they do not understand screening

4:24 am

herinfernallady

I think it is great idea for women like me that avoid doctors like the plague (ducks)

4:25 am

kje

and even within those age groups.. there are women that do not need it, it will not benefit them, depending on their other comorbidities and prognosis

4:27 am

herinfernallady

KJE isn't more information out there a good thing? even if the women don't do it there but see their doctor

4:28 am

kje

screening without judgement is not a good thing

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I don't understand what you mean ''without judgement''

4:29 am

kje

i think this grid is hard because nothing connects... all individual words it seems

4:30 am

kje

without considering the risks and benefits... everything in medicine comes with risks... EVERYTHING... but the public does not generally truly understand that (and many docs don't act that way either) - so every decision needs to make sure that the benefit outweighs the risk, and more and more we are finding with screening that is not the case

4:32 am

herinfernallady

But isn't it up to the individual to make up their mind as to what is right or wrong with their body? For instance my friend knows that vaccine benifits out way risks but she doesn't agree with vaccines in one hit so she is getting it done in stages for her kid.

4:34 am

kje

that is not the same at all, herin - she is still working in conjunction with a doc to get the vaccines... to make it more like the mammogram, lets say that the individual decides whether they want a vaccine or not, without any input from a clinician, and whether they have risk of disease or not

4:34 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I am not trying to be difficult.

4:34 am

herinfernallady

But these are doctors that work in the Rose Clinic

4:35 am

kje

that means nothing to me herin - LOL

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Even if she decides that they are not for her it is there as a warning light to go speak to their GP. They send letters out every year or two years (depending on your situation) for Breast Screening and Smears. KJE I did a link for the clinic

4:36 am

o-o

Now there is research that links depression and anxiety to breast cancer -- another factor to consider

4:37 am

herinfernallady

Hi Babble.

4:37 am

lynxxx

If my chance of getting breast cancer is now 1 in 27 (coincidentally very much like my melanoma reoccurring) then I am very comfortable having regular testing/checking done even without original consultation with my GP

4:38 am

kje

back to the original point... no, i do not think access to screening for anyone without clinican discussionof risks and benefits and referral is a good idea...

4:38 am

lynxxx

Hi BabRab

4:38 am

o-o

Hello

4:39 am

o-o

A more fascinating development is the emerging evidence that depression may be a predictor for breast cancer risk. A report released from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in 2000 presented a compelling look at a possible mind-body link in what has been considered a purely physical illness.

4:40 am

herinfernallady

KJE did you see my link?

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Babble. Shamans say dis ease leads to disease

4:41 am

kje

didn't follow it, herin

4:42 am

kje

man this grid is tough

4:42 am

herinfernallady

Ok Did you see the link I posted?

4:43 am

lynxxx

Interesting. The women I have known well that have had breast cancer in no way were depressed. It is such a common disease I reckon it could be linked to just about anything

4:43 am

kje

id did not go see it herin

4:43 am

lynxxx

I have just realised I am only half way too. Tough

4:44 am

herinfernallady

but ten again, I am half asleep as it is way to early here.. so I have an excuse - LOL

4:45 am

kje

then

4:45 am

lynxxx

Do you have regular hours kje?

4:45 am

o-o

There are many words I do not recall seeing before

4:46 am

kje

at work?

4:46 am

kje

mostly... with some exceptions

4:46 am

lynxxx

Yes

4:46 am

kje

depends on whether i am on the wards or not

4:46 am

herinfernallady

I think a fuzzy mind may be at my benifit

4:47 am

kje

during my research months, i am pretty much, theoretically, 8-5, M-F... clinical ward months are erratic

5:13 am

Atalante

5:48 am

NonoNanette

i'm doing ok Herin, thanks

5:48 am

herinfernallady

opps

5:52 am

herinfernallady

We think our white cat is going deaf

5:52 am

Haz1558

Lots of white animals are deaf.

5:52 am

NonoNanette

oh dear herin, that would be awful for her

5:53 am

Haz1558

There's a random generalisation for you.

5:53 am

herinfernallady

We found this out last night screaming her name for an age and shaking the cat food bowl.

5:53 am

herinfernallady

She doesn't respond to clicking fingers and claps and her ears don't even twitch half the time

5:54 am

herinfernallady

We expected it with her being white. Nono not really she is an inside cat

5:54 am

NonoNanette

maybe she was just ignoring you

5:54 am

NonoNanette

I can call and call my Missy and she wont even answer me when she is only a few feet away

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Even if they ignore you their ears usually twitch

5:55 am

NonoNanette

not always

5:56 am

NonoNanette

have her vet check it out though

5:57 am

herinfernallady

We will it is not bothering here. She isn't in pain or twitching her head like dogs do when they et ear things

5:58 am

NonoNanette

if she is going deaf, it shouldn't affect her too much if she is strictly an indoor cat

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Apparently she doesn't mind and b.f has said the same thing

6:00 am

NonoNanette

it will just drive you crazy wondering where she is at once in awhile :)

6:01 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was doing other things. NOT a stroll in the park grid, no matter what BabbleRabble might try to say. Bye for now!

6:02 am

6:08 am

NonoNanette

I know Herin, Missy always goes to bed when I do........ the other night I went in the bedroom and called her to come to bed, when she didnt come I called and called and got no response.

6:08 am

herinfernallady

It does give you a scar

6:08 am

herinfernallady

scare even

6:08 am

NonoNanette

Looked all thru the house while calling her name and nothing. Finally found her under the bed. She looked at me and meowed as if she were laughing at me

if the cat doesn't seem to be bothered, I wouldn't bother her with a vet. She'll be safe in the house.

6:21 am

ty sprite.

6:22 am

Sounds like a chow -- when you call them, their ears twitch and they look away like "You want me to do what?"

6:22 am

rubyfoo

and when they hide, they certainly laugh at you when you find them

one could say: I am insa6 happy today

6:26 am

No. She has green eyes. We are mildly concerned as she doesn't twitch her ears if we click behind her and she is paying attention

6:26 am

if you worry, a vet is a good idea.

Haz1558

I'm telling you, this grid stretches the boundaries of imagination.

9:00 am

FMitch

BRB hard boiled eggs should be done by now.

9:01 am

Anniebrook

There were words I thought would never be accepted and I tried and there were! This Babble...silly me

9:01 am

Becca Lorum

And words I thought would be accepted, but no joy :o(

9:02 am

FMitch

It is one of the hardest we have had for a while.

9:02 am

hego

sounds like a normal Babble day to me.

9:02 am

Anniebrook

FM, yes it is...are you going to make egg salad?

9:02 am

Anniebrook

LOL, hego

9:03 am

hego

9:03 am

Mom

9:03 am

FMitch

Haven't decided yet but thought I would at lest get the eggs done and then decide.

9:03 am

Anniebrook

deviled eggs are one of my favorites

9:04 am

Anniebrook

FM, whatever you decide I am sure it will be absolutely wonderful.

9:04 am

Mom

9:05 am

Mom

my sweetie, for one Judi

9:05 am

Haz1558

See you later, Annie.

9:05 am

Becca Lorum

I've never had devilled eggs - how do you make them?

9:06 am

Judi

Bummer, Mom. All the more for us, though.

9:06 am

Mom

I use Miracle Whip, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar and the yolks

9:07 am

Judi

I usually sprinkle them with paprika - just to make them look prettier.

9:07 am

Mom

yes, it does make them pretty

9:07 am

FMitch

v simple Becca
cut eggs in half lengthways - take out the yolks and mix with mayo, Dijon mustard salt & pepper and then spoon back into the egg.

9:07 am

FMitch

I top with a little parsley and cayene pepper.

9:08 am

Becca Lorum

Mmm, sounds lovely. Will have to try one day soon.

9:08 am

Mom

time to start my day .... {{hugs}} to all of you

FMitch

Bye Mom have a good day.

If you don't like egg yolks, you can fill them with guacamole.

9:10 am

Becca Lorum

Ar ethere really 17 G words?I only have 6 so far.

9:10 am

FMitch

Hi Judi

9:10 am

Haz1558

They're mostly pretty bizarre, Becca.

Becca Lorum

Just found 2 more very bizarre ones Haz.

9:14 am

Becca Lorum

Clue for the o please?

9:15 am

Haz1558

or6 - heavily decorated

9:15 am

Becca Lorum

TY Haz.

9:15 am

FMitch

Am typing too slowly today to keep up with the speed cluer :)

9:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. enable also thinks that you can have a negative prefix to give you an 8. What's wrong with saying it's plain?

9:16 am

FMitch

How is Ballymena today Haz?

9:17 am

Haz1558

It started off wet and windy, now it's just windy.

9:17 am

Judi

Clue for the rh7, please?

9:17 am

FMitch

but you can add another prefix to it tho.

9:17 am

herinfernallady

this thing never ends

9:17 am

Haz1558

It's our RDA end of term barbecue tomorrow, so we'd like some sunshine or at least dry weather.

9:17 am

Uneaixoise

rh7 kinda like wicker + sometimes vowel

9:18 am

Judi

Ty, Une.

9:18 am

Haz1558

rh7 - r plus what the milliner makes, I just can't take this *** more!'

9:18 am

Uneaixoise

9:18 am

FMitch

Will keep fingers crossed Haz, we were due thunderstorms but they haven't arrived yet.

9:18 am

FMitch

Hi Une!

9:19 am

Haz1558

It just makes life much simpler if the sun shines.

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, fmitch! :-)

9:19 am

wht

OK. Of all the strange words today, that is the strangest.

9:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, Une!

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

hey, haz :-)

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

back in a mo *poof*

9:19 am

FMitch

I would beg to differ wht

9:20 am

Haz1558

Apparently the rh7 is a shrub. That goes on a long list of things I didn't know about the words today.

9:20 am

Becca Lorum

I think I should go and wash up. Votes please - all those in favour of staying to play, say AYE.

9:20 am

Haz1558

Aye!

9:20 am

Judi

AYE

9:20 am

Anniebrook

aye

9:20 am

wht

Oh dear, FM. That means that there is someting very strange still lurking in the grid.

9:20 am

FMitch

Aye

9:21 am

herinfernallady

This grid reminds me of the test i had today

9:21 am

FMitch

well it might be that they wree strange to me and you have already got them wht :)

Hi herin - how did it go?

9:21 am

Becca Lorum

If it was up to you lot, my house would be even messier than it already is!

9:21 am

Aloyisius

Aye! phantom: halcyon.. hi Babblers!

9:21 am

Becca Lorum

Will stay a bit longer - till I get halfway.

9:21 am

Haz1558

ga6/33 gets my vote. The female dyslexic long-haired bovine.

9:22 am

Becca Lorum

Hi Aloy.

9:22 am

Boobear

Hi Boo

9:22 am

Anniebrook

Aloy! Hello

9:23 am

Aloyisius

good to "see" you all.. am back north after a month of traveling, laptop has crashed forever, so thankfully my desktop is still ok.

9:24 am

FMitch

Haz I will send you the sun for tomorrrow and I will take your rain - pollen here is driving me nuts.

9:24 am

Becca Lorum

Haz, I am busy trying to decode that clue fo rthe ga.

9:24 am

Judi

Welcome back, Aloy! RIP for your laptop.

9:24 am

lbdawger

9:24 am

FMitch

9:25 am

Judi

Weird.

9:25 am

lbdawger

9:25 am

Anniebrook

9:26 am

lbdawger

back in a few, must go finish dye job on hair.

9:26 am

Anniebrook

hi lbd!

9:26 am

Haz1558

ga6 - first three letters are for the female (or backwards what happens in chat when there is a delay), the bovine begins with the sometimes vowel but it's not spelled correctly here.

9:26 am

herinfernallady

Fm it turns out that the paper was 12 pages long worth 40% of grades over all. The total marks in the paper was worth 80 they divide it by 2 and I have a numb finger from writing so much.

9:26 am

Boobear

clue for the second ca 6

9:26 am

FMitch

lol we can sniff and sneeze together Aloy - just never knew it was like this.

9:27 am

Boobear

opps ca 6/21

9:27 am

Atalante

9:27 am

Becca Lorum

TY Haz, I can't imagine why I didn't get that straight away, it's so obvious.

9:27 am

rururocks

*hands out kleenex*

9:27 am

FMitch

9:27 am

Haz1558

9:27 am

FMitch

Awe Ata and Hi ruru

9:28 am

Atalante

9:28 am

Haz1558

Or to be contemporary, American tin, first letters of Mr Mandela (for that ca6/21)

9:28 am

herinfernallady

Next week. I have already passed all my subjects (at a base pass) but I don't want just a base pass

9:28 am

FMitch

I surpass myself sometimes Ata *grin*

9:28 am

Atalante

9:28 am

Haz1558

I know, Becca, sometimes word blindness afflicts us - it's a problem....

9:28 am

Aloyisius

ty, Haz.. got em both! (-:

9:29 am

FMitch

It is har d to type with tissues stuffed up yr nose - they block the screen :)

9:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Aloy.

9:29 am

Aloyisius

hate to bother Lickety again.. he sent me a replacement once .. but I miss his program

9:30 am

rururocks

9:30 am

Haz1558

You'll not let the cleaner see you like that, FM?

9:30 am

FMitch

I can email it to you Aloy

9:30 am

Becca Lorum

One more word then I'm off to wash up - any clues for the left hand a gratefully recieved.

9:30 am

Haz1558

as4 - Cinderella after she'd cleared out the fire.

9:31 am

FMitch

ruru that joke just went straight over my head

9:31 am

Becca Lorum

NM, I'm halfway now. Bye for now.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Or a plus coy. Like Jordan.

9:31 am

Becca Lorum

TY Haz.

9:31 am

rururocks

nm FM..just my sick sense of humor

9:31 am

Haz1558

Bye Becca.

9:31 am

herinfernallady

And so I can't feel the tip of my finger from writting so much

9:31 am

FMitch

Bye Becca

9:32 am

Aloyisius

You can, FM? woow... my email changed, learned a lesson.. no more Outlook Express, lost everything.. but.. now I'm using gmai so that shouldn't happen again.. I will write you today and send my new address.. oh, that would be wonderful, thanks!... passes box of tissues

9:32 am

Anniebrook

I need a clue for an6/21, please

9:32 am

Haz1558

I hope these tissues are Kleenex Balsam?

9:32 am

FMitch

Try using a pen next time herin

9:32 am

wht

OK Haz, the female bovine is as strange as the shrubby rh7 and you had a much better clue. (at least once my monkeys figured it out.)

9:32 am

Haz1558

an6 - add a material used in wedding dresses etc.

9:33 am

Anniebrook

ah, thank you, Haz

9:33 am

Haz1558

I told you, wht. Very strange words today.

9:33 am

FMitch

No Haz, Kleenex mansized

9:33 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Annie.

9:33 am

rururocks

real men don't use kleenex

9:33 am

Haz1558

But you can get man-sized Kleenex Balsam. You owe it to your nose!

9:34 am

wht

Now I really have to get back to work.

9:34 am

Haz1558

No, they wipe their nose on their sleeves.

9:34 am

rururocks

exactly!

9:34 am

Haz1558

See you later, wht.

9:35 am

FMitch

Not suffering with Rudolph nose syndrome - eyes are red but c'et la vie - can't wait until the rape seed fields get into full bloom :(

9:36 am

Haz1558

I've been fortunate never to have suffered allergies but my sister suffered terribly from hay fever for many years, so I know the misery it can cause.;

9:36 am

herinfernallady

Ata how is that hangnail?

9:37 am

FMitch

Haz I never did until the last couple of years but this year has been the worst by a long way.

9:37 am

rururocks

my allergies are thankfullly gone now until October

9:37 am

FMitch

Oh what when Halloween returns ruru?

9:38 am

Aloyisius

me too.. only in the past six years for me..

9:38 am

rururocks

lol..yes.. Deathly allergic to pumpkins

9:38 am

rururocks

lol

9:38 am

Haz1558

Are anti-histamines of any use?

9:38 am

FMitch

*grin*

9:39 am

Krysten

Good day, all!!

9:39 am

rururocks

I use Astelin with great success FM..

9:39 am

Aloyisius

they help you breathe, Haz.. but make my mind fuzzier than norm

9:39 am

Haz1558

Hello, Krysten.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Yes, that was always the problem for my sister. She ended up really zonked with them.

9:40 am

FMitch

I've tried some but had to stop as they were not mixing with meds that I am on at the mo.

9:40 am

Atalante

try the Boots one, FM. they have a different main ingredient to the main CLarityn ones

9:40 am

Aloyisius

.. and the pseudoephedrin keeps me up all night.. ugh, so I take it in the morning

9:41 am

Haz1558

That's a nuisance. Best stick with the nose pluggers...

9:41 am

Atalante

a nice lady at Boots told me that, and they do work a lot better for me. Worth a go!

9:41 am

FMitch

I remember when I was taking my O levels back in the 70's and feel so sorry for all thos kids that were trying to take exams whilst suffering with hayfever.

9:42 am

Haz1558

Exactly, FM, my sister was one of those who sniffled their way through O and A levels.

9:42 am

Haz1558

The morning ritual sneezing seemed to go on forever.

9:42 am

FMitch

Will look into that Ata thanks, hows the leg coming along?

9:42 am

rururocks

really... fm...nothing like snotty kids taking tests....

9:43 am

Atalante

lol had physio today and got told off for trying to get better too quickly

9:43 am

Haz1558

Snotty and spotty kids. Not a lot going for them at that age, is there?

9:43 am

FMitch

LOL

9:44 am

FMitch

Oh Ata - you MUST pace yourself outerwise you will pay for it later in life *sounds like Ata's Aunt again*

9:44 am

Aloyisius

lol .. pictures class of snotty spotties

9:44 am

herinfernallady

Aly can I ask do you have a form of ADHD?

9:44 am

Haz1558

You can do a Pollyanna, FM and say 'Let's be glad I don't have ac4/5'

9:45 am

Atalante

I know! I thought I *was*!!

9:45 am

FMitch

Well I would but that is part of the prob that I am on the meds now, can you believe!

9:45 am

Aloyisius

hi herin.. not that I know, but maybe I've gone undiagnosed.. do you detect a symptom?

9:45 am

rururocks

not liking these c's very much

9:46 am

FMitch

There are very few words today that anyone likes ruru.

9:46 am

Atalante

I like a ga6/24

9:46 am

Haz1558

None of the letters cover themselves in glory today, I fear.

9:46 am

cybernan

good morning/afternoon, everyone :)

9:47 am

Haz1558

Hello, cybernan.

9:47 am

herinfernallady

I know with me and Sudafed that having slight ADHD tendancy that stuff perks me up

9:47 am

Haz1558

But pseudoephedrin is known to have stimulant qualities, that's why it's banned for athletes. Ask Linford Christie.

9:48 am

FMitch

I foresee a much better grid tomorrow - generous in size and more accommodating with its wordage ... why .... because I have to work.

9:48 am

Aloyisius

ah.. interesting.. it does induce insomnia for me

9:48 am

herinfernallady

Same as Phenergan, sets me spaz. Wasn't until recently my friend who's son is ADHD told me the doctor gave him that stuff and he wizzed about the room for 12 straight hours.

9:48 am

Atalante

I said earlier I would tell you more about the Dreaded Hangnail

9:49 am

herinfernallady

lol ata

9:49 am

Atalante

so I will, while I'm thinking about it

9:50 am

Aloyisius

egads herin.. I had to sign for it and show my i.d. because it is regulated now. Drug dealers used to buy lots of it and "cook" it in meth labs

9:50 am

Atalante

it caused him - no joke - to get the boat from St Agnes to St Mary (round trip of about 3 - 4 hours) because the tube of Savlon he had wasn't working. He wanted a new tube, because he couldn't wait till the next day when we were going to be in St Mary's anyway. And he made me, plaster cast adn all, go and buy him more plasters because if he didn't have a plaster on it, well ... who knows what would happen!

9:50 am

herinfernallady

This was about 14years ago.

9:51 am

Aloyisius

Ata, I hope your story has a happy ending? Poor guy..

9:51 am

herinfernallady

Ata I wish to politely suggest that he needs to be deManded

9:52 am

Atalante

and THEN! nothing was making it better. He decided it was ezcema, and so I told him to put a bit of my super-strength eczema cream on. This stuff is far above hydrocortisone that it's not in the same universe. I have a tube that I've been using since 2006 - you need so little and I use it a lot. I'm about half way through the tube.

9:52 am

Atalante

so he takes the tube. and gives it back to me empty the next morning

9:52 am

Haz1558

But did it cure the hangnail?

9:52 am

Haz1558

Should we inform The Lancet?

9:52 am

Atalante

no LMAO

9:52 am

Haz1558

'Hangnail cure discovered'

9:53 am

Atalante

eventually, you'll be pleased to know, it got better. But even then it caused great angst because he had to moisturise the skin every hour or so in case it CAMe BACK!

9:53 am

Haz1558

You can't trust a hangnail.

9:54 am

Haz1558

That's why they're called hangnails. They hang around.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Lurking.

9:54 am

Atalante

you really can't!

9:54 am

Haz1558

Waiting.

9:54 am

Haz1558

Preparing to pounce.

9:54 am

Judi

*weeping* I've finished the G's.

9:54 am

Atalante

and cause weeks - WEEKS - of trauma

9:54 am

Haz1558

They're trained by the SAS.

9:55 am

Haz1558

Poor Judi. Just be glad you don't have a hangnail as well.

9:55 am

herinfernallady

I still would like to nard him

9:55 am

Atalante

and then! when my mother came down to look after me when we got back from the Scillies, he kept trying to get her to look after him because of the thumb!!

9:55 am

Atalante

it was hilarious. Mother was sooooo unimpressed

9:55 am

Haz1558

At least there aren't so many h words.

9:56 am

FMitch

herin - what time is it with you?

9:56 am

Aloyisius

wtg, Judi, am still slogging through the c's

9:56 am

Judi

Hangnail hangover. What a whimp!

9:56 am

FMitch

What a tale Ata!!!

9:56 am

herinfernallady

1256am

9:57 am

FMitch

you are a night owl aren't you.

9:57 am

Atalante

you missed the start of it, FM and Judi - "oh dear. LMAO. just been talking to husband's sister. Apparently he told her that we'd both been injured in the Scillies, my injury worse, yes, but only a bit. Hmmm. You all know what happened to me ... he had - wait for it - a hangnail on his thumb. *FACEPALM*"

9:57 am

FMitch

Of for heavens sake Ata .. but then again I guess I expect no less from D.

9:58 am

rururocks

I never realized that hangnails were so dangerous

9:58 am

Judi

*eyes rolling over head and onto floor*

9:58 am

Atalante

And his sister is just as bad. I explained the real situation, and she still only asked how husband was!!

9:58 am

Haz1558

Did he cause the hangnail when he tried to shave his own hair again? Using thumb for a guideline?

9:58 am

Boobear

hi ruru

9:59 am

FMitch

ROFL

9:59 am

rururocks

hiya Boo

9:59 am

Atalante

it just appeared, apparently, and I was very uncaring because I didn't notice for a week LMAO

9:59 am

Haz1558

Well, ruru, now that you know, you need to be on the look out. A neglected hangnail is a dangerous hangnail.

9:59 am

rururocks

*checks fingers carefully*

9:59 am

Aloyisius

calling abuse hotline on Ata...

10:00 am

herinfernallady

I prefer to nanna nap in the day

10:00 am

Judi

Obviously he's in need of a Hangnail Support Group.

10:00 am

herinfernallady

10:04 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was doing something even more useful than this. I won't say enjoy the grid, but may it not cause more grief than is caused by the average hangnail.

MizHoffle

other poking is quite good

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

i abuse you because i LOVE you. :P

DUH.

12:28 pm

Atalante

he would NEVER poke anyone in the knee.

12:29 pm

Atalante

12:31 pm

Atalante

9:43 pm

stidmama

later sam

9:43 pm

Pinikula

what do I do?

9:44 pm

stidmama

*sigh* it's up to you pini. Do you want to mend bridges? do you trust them that much?

9:44 pm

lbdawger

do you like the niece/nephew?

9:44 pm

stidmama

is it an argument with the niece-phew or the elders?

9:45 pm

Pinikula

I have no issue with my nieces/nephews...it's all of their parents

9:45 pm

stidmama

is it an event that is important to the parents, or to the niece-phews?

9:45 pm

lbdawger

i'd send a card or gift to the niece/nephew and not attend.

9:45 pm

crosshair

depends on the event,and remember it is not the fault of the neice or nephew

9:46 pm

Pinikula

niece/nephew, not the parents

9:46 pm

stidmama

I mean -- it seems that something that they would like you to be there is one thing, but if it's a parent thing, then I'd do what LBD says

9:46 pm

stidmama

hey cross! is the bookstore ready for guests yet?

9:46 pm

Pinikula

well, it's my nieces hs graduation party...I've not been involved in her life, so this is, no doubt, more of a "family" event...

9:46 pm

crosshair

not yet stiddles,its a way off yet,around fall and several things have to fall in place for it all to work

9:47 pm

stidmama

I think a card and a small gift would be appropriate, pini.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

i'd just send a card and maybe a gift card in it. i wouldn't attend since you aren't that close to the family

9:48 pm

Pinikula

(note: I just received the query, "will you be joining us?" - but have never received an invitation; and my estranged siblings can't even remember how to spell my name (I know petty on that issue, but still))

9:48 pm

Pinikula

thx all ... much appreciated

9:48 pm

stidmama

we only just got a graduation announcement for Tom's niece. Not an invitation to the ticketed event. We'll send something nice to her. Rarely hear from Tom's sibling other than the automatic inclusion in the holiday snail-mail.

9:48 pm

stidmama

???? They are THAT estranged??? wow...

9:49 pm

LeslieAnn

*popping in* that is very much not a petty issue pini, a matter of respect i think

9:49 pm

Pinikula

that's my thought, stid (and you know some about the estrangement)

9:49 pm

stidmama

which reminds me, I still have to put together a new-year note for distribution. LOL

9:49 pm

I was a cy 5/18 today&thought that I woudn't finish the grid since I started extremely la4/4, but al 4/4 I did finish. I was el5/10ed when I finished. It's always ni 4/4 to finish a grid. I ha 4/5 it when I don't finish a grid.No4/4 of my monkeys would come when called They wanted to sh4/6 me & this awful grid.However I dragged one monkey by the ta4/4 to my ca4/5.But my monkey & I cl5/14ed. I had to lock up my monkey in his ca4/7 and en6/27 him.Guess I couldn't pay him enough ca4/6 to help me.Monkey would gl6/27 at me every so often to see if I would let him out.I think he wanted to play with his other monkey friends; Gl 4/6 and La5/12. I think I need to en5/12 a new rule with my monkeys: they need to be tied to a chair so they can't get up&run around. Or maybe I should just put my monkeys up for sa 4/4 & get new ones who won't drive me insa4/4. Now it is very la 4/4. I need go to bed and watch Jay Le 4/4. Goodnight to all babblers!

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

10:47 pm

Nef

I just got home from work at 9:30; ate supper; and now sat down to a nice-sized grid But is it a NICE grid too?

10:47 pm

Pinikula

it's not horrible...but can be a bit tricky now and then.. ;)

10:48 pm

Nef

Hi, Pini and Min

10:48 pm

Pinikula

(must run Koda out for a few minutes...brb)

10:48 pm

Minveryork

Since you are just starting I'll be ni 4/4 and not send you to the Penalty Box Nef. I have to go, but a story of clues is in my profile Nef if you need it later tonite

10:49 pm

Nef

Oh Good! I love your stories, Min! :-D

10:51 pm

Nef

And I see I should have been sent to the PB too. Sorry

10:58 pm

Nef

Wow! It's sure quiet here. I just checked; there's only 80 of us here! That has to be the smallest number in a long time! Must be a very fast grid!

11:03 pm

Pinikula

ok...I'm back...Koda's taken care of (for the moment) and I've popped a couple of cookies in the oven (rather than just eat the dough) :)

11:04 pm

Pinikula

(night min)

11:04 pm

Nef

just a couple of cookies, Pini?

11:05 pm

Pinikula

ok..5 to be exact!! LOL

11:05 pm

Nef

Such discipline!

11:05 pm

Pinikula

gotta make 'em last as long as possible!!!

11:06 pm

Nef

BRB, I need some tylenol now that I've slowed down -I hurt!

11:07 pm

Pinikula

hurt from what? you ok?

11:11 pm

Nef

back. I hurt from weather changes -and a 15 hourday. Not to worry

11:14 pm

Pinikula

sorry to hear, nef...hope you feel better soon!

11:16 pm

Nef

it's just that as we age, we get these "reminders" (aches and pains) that tell us we shouldn't expect to act like we're 20 when we are over 3 times that old

11:16 pm

Pinikula

good point!!

11:16 pm

Pinikula

I'd still like to think we're aging with pure grace!!!!

11:18 pm

Nef

we are! It's just that we (meaning ME) shouldn't try to work 15 hour days full tilt

11:18 pm

Pinikula

I'll 2nd that, Nef (for me, too!)

11:18 pm

torgone

11:26 pm

Nef

Well, with DH being sick recently, I'm the nurse manager of the clinic and I had some serious catching up to do
