Douglas

I believe it's an Indian musical instrument

12:18 am

jillibus

an ancient drum of India shaped like a long conical barrel with two tuned heads of different sizes.

12:18 am

12:45 am

anike

91 to go but its getting harger

12:45 am

Douglas

Satan is in the grid, but isn't a word.

12:45 am

anike

firk

12:46 am

gremlinn

but most extensions (satanic, satanism, satanist) are

12:47 am

gremlinn

I think we discussed why, a few weeks ago

12:47 am

Douglas

And the summary of the discussion is...?

12:48 am

gremlinn

only "Satan" remains a proper noun

12:48 am

MLFAN17

175 lft i am out poof

12:48 am

jillibus

bye mlf

12:49 am

Barb's Horses

171 left for me...off to bed...have to wake hubby up and drag him off down the hall too....Night all. (hugs)

12:50 am

jillibus

night barb

12:53 am

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

12:53 am

jillibus

hi and wtg josh

12:54 am

Douglas

So Satan is an odd proper noun in that the extensions are not proper nouns as well. Isn't Mormonism a proper noun?

12:54 am

Douglas

Neither Mormon nor Mormonism are allowed in morewords

12:55 am

gremlinn

yeah, both of those are proper

12:57 am

Douglas

I suppose Satan is considered an abstract proper noun, whereas Mormon (?) is a concrete proper noun, and thus the extensions are proper as well. Yes?

12:58 am

gremlinn

I think it's more like "satanic" etc. had enough historical usage to become generic.

12:59 am

gremlinn

All of this is my speculation (haven't researched it at all).

1:03 am

Christine

26 7-letter words? I bet they're mostly Ks.

1:03 am

gremlinn

mostly gerunds

1:04 am

Christine

Has anyone heard from NB? Wonder how things are goiung.

1:04 am

gremlinn

who's that?

1:05 am

Christine

Nancy Boy - he's having boyfriend trouble, and was going to talk to the bf about it.

1:05 am

gremlinn

someone not on as the same time as me, sorry

1:07 am

Christine

I guess not - he's in England, but sometimes I've seen him here, very early morning for him.

1:10 am

jillibus

Christine, NB was here this afternoon. He hasn't been able to sleep for 3 days, poor kid.

1:11 am

jillibus

So it's about 7:11 am there now and I hope he's had a good night.

1:13 am

jillibus

He is looking for another place to live.

1:14 am

Christine

Hi, Jillibus. Were you here on Sunday, he was telling us he was going to speak to Leo, and felt a little fragile around the edges, I guess.

1:15 am

Christine

That's a shame, since he doesn't have the support of his family. But it may be for the best.

1:16 am

jillibus

Christine, he disappeared for a couple of days and had Leo and his friends very worried. He passed out at work and they contacted Leo so that's where he is, but feels utterly betrayd.

1:16 am

Christine

My mum used to say if you're a Mother, you're everyone's Mother; I guess that's why we all feel protective.

1:17 am

Christine

Poor kid. I hope he'll be okay. This has been an eventful year, so far.

1:17 am

jillibus

He is very grateful for the support he's had here.

1:17 am

Christine

Sending him good thoughts.

1:18 am

jillibus

I think he will have good support from his friends over there too.

1:41 am

jillibus

well, once through Lickety's list and I have 109 left. I have a feeling morewords will be necessary for this one.

1:42 am

2:42 am

sprite

hi Andree!

2:42 am

FMitch

Evening Andree!

2:43 am

anike

I know this is petty and doesn't really matter but I can't understand why my ranking hasn't changed in weeks. I missed finishing one grid only in months.

2:44 am

KatieMcG

oh I have no idea as I never look at them, but I don't think it's petty. Why don't you email doctor god?

2:44 am

FMitch

The rankings are a law unto themselves anike and are affected by how many people play and do finish or not as the case may be.
I gave up trying to fathom them ages ago.

2:44 am

sprite

wanna share good news: A. Terra went for his annual shots yesterday and vet was totally positive about him, called him examplary dog in build, weight and conduct.
B. Our car made it through the annual process for re-approvement (which we did not expect) and at a reasonable price too.

2:45 am

FMitch

Good news on both counts sprite!

2:45 am

sprite

no idea how the rankings work

2:45 am

Andree

good news on both fronts sprite

2:45 am

anike

If I email Dr God the answer will come back via my email and then my daughter will laugh at me for being so attached to a game

2:45 am

KatieMcG

great ne** on both counts (we will tempory suspend PB on the basis I would be the only oneleft)

2:46 am

sprite

tell your daughter it is your mathematical mind that is uncontrollably curious as to how things work

2:46 am

FMitch

*heads off to the PB in good company*

2:46 am

Andree

i don't look at the ranking, so no worries here

2:46 am

KatieMcG

shrug and say "and" it seems to work for teenagers

2:46 am

sprite

thanks :) So happy to be able to share good news!

2:47 am

anike

Good answer Sprite but it won't work. Anyway, I had better go looking for son's birthday present so will say goodbye for todat. Happy babbling

2:47 am

sprite

bye anike

2:47 am

2:48 am

Andree

2:50 am

FMitch

Bye anike
was just changing my icon.

2:50 am

sprite

wow beautiful rose, FM!

2:51 am

FMitch

Thanks, unfortunately the camera doesn't do it justice as it is blood red in colour.

2:51 am

sprite

will add the color to it in mind

2:52 am

FMitch

:)

2:53 am

sprite

10 Ks. I bet there are biggie Ks today.

2:54 am

FMitch

3 6's and a 7

2:54 am

sprite

thanks FM, that will help me on my way. Oh wow I do have one 6!

2:55 am

FMitch

yay :) at least once you have the k's done you can enjoy the rest of the grid.

2:55 am

sprite

exactly, that is why I do them first. I hate having to find them at the end :)

2:56 am

FMitch

lol I know your *love* of k's well after all these years.

2:57 am

sprite

hehehe I bet!

2:57 am

FMitch

oh my, just realised it will be 5 years of babbling this August - not sure if that is good or bad!

2:59 am

sprite

I'd say good, but I am pretty biased. Look at it this way: you keep your brain trained, you learn new words, and you stay in contact with a bunch of nice people.

2:59 am

FMitch

*grin* that works for me.

3:00 am

sprite

:)

3:01 am

FMitch

sprite - keep an eye out for an email I have just sent you.

3:01 am

sprite

K greyed out! I AM getting better at this. With a bit of help from my babble friend FM :)

3:02 am

FMitch

and now I must be off, have some work to do before I take Mum out to an art exhibition.
Happy babbling and see you later.

3:02 am

sprite

hope you have a lovely day, FM, and your Mum too

3:02 am

KatieMcG

have a good day FM :-)

3:12 am

sprite

oohhhh! Never ever thought I'd see that M word in a grid and here it is! Ata! I am smug!

3:12 am

rubyfoo

you were already great at this, sprite, how much better can you get?

3:13 am

sprite

I fully stink at Ks, rubyfoo. My brain shuts down as soon as it tries to spot K words.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

as usual, first 50 are easy! now the slog begins

3:16 am

sprite

there is a very rewarding ending in the grid, rubyfoo!

3:16 am

rubyfoo

isn't ka/4 the dutch word for cheese?

3:17 am

sprite

yes it is! Always makes me laugh to see it in an english grid.

3:18 am

Kallia

19 k words!

3:18 am

Kallia

morning all

3:19 am

rubyfoo

Kallia

bye for now ruby

3:21 am

rubyfoo, I found it in the urban dictionary, where it means, next to the dutch meaning, something like very bad, smelly.

3:21 am

sprite

and bye

3:22 am

KatieMcG

i'm off to do some work as well, see you all later

3:22 am

sprite

3:25 am

butterfly82

3:25 am

ursh

3:25 am

sprite

I feel a new addict coming up... ;)

3:26 am

sprite

hey ursh! It is already bad here in the netherlands, cannot imagine the madness you must have over there. All well?

3:26 am

FMitch

Where is Haz when I need to check a grammatical point?

3:27 am

FMitch

Flipping football is on al lthe channels all of the time here!

3:27 am

ursh

3:27 am

sprite

grin.... I bet she is either walking her dog or ironing her laundry

3:27 am

sprite

am glad, ursh!

3:28 am

ursh

but cant say I like the vuvuzelas - horrible noise and my youngest cat hates the noise - just runs and hides

3:28 am

FMitch

yes she could be out walking as it is only 2 days before she does her charity walk.

3:28 am

sprite

FM, I know! And worst of all is the continually horn sound. Drives me crazy. I stopped watching (only watch the Orange team and countries like Ghana - for the legs).

3:28 am

Haz1558

You called?

3:29 am

sprite

yeah!

3:29 am

FMitch

agree re the vuvuzelas ursh

3:29 am

FMitch

Ah there you are dear :)

3:29 am

sprite

3:30 am

Haz1558

Hello! Not walking just yet, I'll be out this afternoon for a last practice session.

3:30 am

sprite

Haz, if you have time, please check this link:
http://tinyurl.com/yq26pr
It is a LOLcat I found especially for you.

3:30 am

FMitch

I have to send an emal out re a funeral and am not sure where the ' goes in the deceased name. If it his funeral does it go at the end of his surname e.g Smiths'' funeral or Smith's

3:31 am

Haz1558

Smith's funeral.

3:31 am

Haz1558

Hello, sprite. I caught your reference to your grammatical cat yesterday and looked it up. I wouldn't DREAM of ever correcting that cat's spelling or grammar. Talk about fierce!

3:31 am

butterfly82

sakin

3:32 am

sprite

unless his name is Smiths, right?

3:32 am

FMitch

Ah good thats what I thought but wanted to make sure I was right.

Thank you and now I must poof till later.

3:32 am

Haz1558

No problem, FM.

3:32 am

sprite

bye for now, FM

3:32 am

butterfly82

ignore that, it was a word i was trying to guess but put it here instead of where you put the words

3:33 am

Kallia

I do that all the time

3:33 am

Kallia

3:33 am

i mean exist, sorry, typing and talking at the same time.

3:34 am

Kallia

but I usually put real words here when I do it!

3:34 am

sprite

butterfly, don't feel bad, it is the layout of the site that makes people do that. Happens to a lot of us.

3:35 am

sandyloo

hi everyone, Sprite

3:36 am

sprite

glad you saw it, Haz! I thought you and the cat would get along :)

3:36 am

Haz1558

Hello, sandy.

3:36 am

sprite

hi sandy, lol... am I not part of everyone? *hugs*

3:36 am

sandyloo

haz

3:36 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, sprite.

3:37 am

sandyloo

lol

3:38 am

sprite

reminds me of how we used to greet the teachers in the teacher's room while I was at highschool. "Good morning, ladies, gentlemen, Mr Alimahomed!" He was actually flattered, the stupid geek.

3:38 am

Kallia

heheh

3:41 am

sprite

he was by far the worst teacher Dutch I ever encountered. He switched the articles and told us there was only ONE preposition that could go with the word balkon (balcony). And he took off points if we did it the right way and not his way.

3:43 am

Haz1558

No wonder you didn't include him in the general greeting.

3:44 am

sprite

I couldn't stand him. Not for his making mistakes, but for his dictatorial attitude and not being able to 'fess up he had been wrong. One of the very very few teachers in my life I did not get along with.

3:45 am

Haz1558

It sounds like he had decided that there was a limit to learning and his had been used up a while back.

3:45 am

sprite

sounds about right, Haz

3:48 am

Kallia

I love that f6/39

3:48 am

sprite

hm don't have it yet *off to hunt it*
I love the M word.

3:49 am

Kallia

I don't have that

3:49 am

sprite

it is one of the weirdest words I know, Kallia. A friend of mine plays them, or I would never have known.

3:50 am

Kallia

I cant see a word from that m lol

3:50 am

sprite

if you want, I can tell you the second letter.

3:51 am

Kallia

I guess it is not o then

3:51 am

sprite

your guess is correct

3:51 am

Kallia

lol nope dont tell yet maybe later thanks

3:51 am

sprite

oh... *off to PB*

3:52 am

sprite

np Kallia, I know how nice it is to hunt on your own!

3:52 am

Kallia

you or me?

3:52 am

sprite

me! wa4 is in the grid

3:52 am

Kallia

I see it is you lol

3:55 am

Kallia

back later, have to go see the dreaded dentist

3:55 am

sprite

oh dear. Good luck, will think of you!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Not R*** C**** treatment?

3:56 am

Haz1558

I'll not spell it out, for the sake of the dental phobic.

3:56 am

Kallia

thanks...no I don't think so...just hate the dentist

3:56 am

sprite

I was actually trying to see which words in the grid you referred to :)

3:57 am

Haz1558

Hope it goes well, Kalia.

3:57 am

Kallia

lol..thanks

3:57 am

Haz1558

No, just the thought of that treatment gives me the shivers.

3:57 am

Nancy Boy

ouch...whenever I think of the dentist, I always think of that scene in the little shop of horrors.

3:58 am

sprite

ohhhhhh Nancy Boy, don't even say that! And hi and *hugs*

3:58 am

Haz1558

It's probably just as well that I've never seen the little shop of horrors. I've heard that Marathon Man is to be avoided as well.

3:59 am

Nancy Boy

too late now Sprite, I'm humming the song and everything ;) *hugs* how are you?

3:59 am

sprite

little shop of horrors is very funny, except for the dentist part.

3:59 am

Haz1558

I actually like my dentist - he's a tennis fan so he has his good points.

3:59 am

sprite

"Feeeeeed meeeee!"

4:00 am

Haz1558

I'll take a quick break, back later. Bye for now!

4:00 am

sprite

am well, dog is good and car is good, so good news and feeling happy. How are you holding up?

4:00 am

Nancy Boy

"You'll be a dentist, you have a talent for causing things pain; so be a dentist, people will pay you to be inhumane.."

4:00 am

sprite

I would like my dentist very much if he weren't my dentist. He is a great guy. Just wrong occupation.

4:01 am

sprite

go nancy Boy!!!!!

4:01 am

sprite

bye for now, haz

4:01 am

Nancy Boy

off and on at the moment, Sprite. Just trying to sort out a place to go!

4:02 am

sprite

it would be very nice if you could have your own place and be independant. Will keep my fingers crossed for you, dearheart.

4:04 am

Nancy Boy

thanks, Sprite :) and yeah, that'd be lovely, but it's pretty much impossible in London! Oh, something that cheered me up though...I suddenly recalled that he has my name tattooed on his chest. Hope he finds that fun, over the years *snorts*

4:05 am

sprite

he will keep you close to his heart, willynilly :D

4:06 am

Nancy Boy

quite ;) oh, what a mess. I should get up...

4:07 am

sprite

get up, take a shower and know that a lot of babblers are thinking of you. We are the wind under your wings :)

4:07 am

Nancy Boy

that's so sweet of you, Sprite :) will do. have a good day!

4:07 am

sprite

and you too!

4:12 am

Christine

Hi, NB - we were asking after you, couple of hours ago. I hope everything is well? Have you & Leo worked out the problem?

4:13 am

dizgrannie

I know its a long shot...but a question for NB, do you know of a person called Frazz from another forum? Its just that you remind me of someone that occasionally posts in an Aussie forum.

4:17 am

sprite

hi Christine and dizgrannie

4:17 am

dizgrannie

hey ya sprite

4:17 am

Christine

Hello, Luv/

4:18 am

sprite

how are you both?

4:21 am

Christine

I think I hear my bed calling - up early, tomorrow, for another colonoscopy - I guess the dodctor thinks I'm ver photogenic.

4:22 am

Christine

well, that should be doctor.

4:22 am

sprite

whoa Christine, that is pretty intensive. I hope you will sleep well and that it will be relatively smooth tomorrow!

4:24 am

Christine

Last time, about 6 months ago, I was asleep for the proceduce, but I think I'd like to be awake, this time, watch it on the bigscreen.

4:24 am

sprite

I wish you the best of luck.

4:24 am

Christine

Gremlins can't spell, but I think you afigured-out that word?

4:25 am

Christine

I'm not worried - if they find anything they'll snip it out - unless it's a biggie, and then i guess I'd go into the hospital overnight.

4:26 am

Christine

Thank you for your good wishes.

4:26 am

sprite

glad you are not worried. Will think of you :)

4:27 am

Christine

I just want it over, so I can eat - nothing for 24 hours. And I need a cup of tea, it's been too long.

4:28 am

sprite

24 hours is a long time

4:29 am

Christine

And the stuff they give you to drink, to 'clean out' your innards, well I can do without that for another year.

4:30 am

sprite

oh I bet, blech. May this be the last examination of your innards then!

4:31 am

Christine

Thanks again.

4:37 am

Christine

Goodnight, all.

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Got it

5:08 am

herinfernallady

silly emails

5:08 am

sprite

yessss :)

5:08 am

5:08 am

sprite

you're very welcome hun :D

5:09 am

sprite

wow! You did SO well!

5:09 am

herinfernallady

The Probate means I got nearly perfect in the last 2 tests

5:10 am

sprite

woot, that is something. Are you proud of yourself?

5:11 am

herinfernallady

I am

5:11 am

herinfernallady

Thinking maybe the boring stuff may be what I am good at

5:11 am

sprite

rightly so. *hugs*

5:12 am

sprite

lol, you are good at studying.

5:12 am

herinfernallady

I don't like math

5:14 am

sprite

no need to be good at everything, sweetie. Nobody is. You totally rock. And as I said, you inspire me. Am going to study too, for Tellington TTouch practitioner. Don't know yet how to swing it, but I will find a way.

5:15 am

herinfernallady

O go Sprite

5:16 am

herinfernallady

You could practice on Terra

5:16 am

sprite

I will. Actually, the first workshop is Balance4Dogs, and that is with your dog. I have put myself and Terra up for that one, in September.

5:17 am

herinfernallady

Cool

5:17 am

sprite

this lady also gives basic and experienced course, and she says i can skip a couple of weekends of the real course if I finish hers with good result.

5:17 am

sprite

and that is fireflies. I loved this grid (except for the K)

5:18 am

sprite

anything I can clue before I go?

5:19 am

herinfernallady

I am ok thanks

5:19 am

sprite

have fun then and enjoy this great grid. Big *hug* from me and a load of energy too.
Bye all!

Hi Fish

LoriP

***Like a hunter in the Serengeti, Lori blends in to the stifling environment with the pre-loaded, water filled elephant gun at the ready and waits silently.....***

5:52 am

Haz1558

LIke the hunted in the Serengeti, wise babblers seek cover....

5:53 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers

5:53 am

LoriP

***It's hard to wait silently when all these great people start saying G'd morning....***

5:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Nono. Like the ostrich, I'm sticking my head in the sand and cannot see the water coming. Therefore, it is not coming.

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:54 am

Haz1558

Hello!

5:54 am

NonoNanette

we know you can never stay in stealth mode for long lori :)

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Between him and the cat I am going mad

5:55 am

lynxxx

I'll play meerkat and pop my head up to say hello before ducking back down

5:55 am

LoriP

***The insulated camouflage suit whilst in the serengeti was a bad idea***

5:55 am

Haz1558

Those insulated suits are hopeless. You can hear the motor working inside them.

5:57 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx. Meerkats never stay hidden for long.

5:57 am

NonoNanette

hi lynxxx

5:57 am

LoriP

***Come out come out wherever you are.....***

5:58 am

lynxxx

...come and find meeee....

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx cold enough for you?

5:59 am

LoriP

She's very elusive prey. Guess I'm not much of a hunter. G'd mornin' Babblers!

5:59 am

lynxxx

quite cosy actually, must be the dressing gown over my clothes!

5:59 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Lori. FM has headed off to an art exhibition with her Mum. She's outwitted you.

6:00 am

LoriP

Seriously now, what are we in for with this grid? Today's babble approach is least words to most, thus beginning with the absurd mr 8.

6:01 am

LoriP

Ahh, how long were you going to leave me sweating in that suit?

6:01 am

Haz1558

Well, let's just say that gremlinn said that it was (spit, because I hate the overuse of the word) challenging.

6:01 am

LoriP

Methinks that's an understatement.....

6:02 am

NonoNanette

and how long did it take Gremlinn to finish

6:02 am

Haz1558

3 minutes.

6:02 am

Haz1558

(Joking)

6:02 am

NonoNanette

lol

6:03 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure how long it took him, at what point he achieved minnbt, nbt, nbs, or whether it was done with af or to.

6:03 am

LoriP

Well, ENBT is gonna' take awhile by the looks of this configuration.

6:04 am

Haz1558

E.... no blank tiles. Excellent, no blank tiles?

6:04 am

LoriP

Oooh, nice usage of multiple acronyms. WD!

6:04 am

Haz1558

TY!

6:04 am

LoriP

Eventually ......

6:04 am

LoriP

YW !

6:05 am

Haz1558

Oh, eventually NBT - does give the impression of a leisurely approach.

6:05 am

Haz1558

Is leisurely allowed?

6:05 am

Haz1558

It's the opposite of RNBT.

6:06 am

LoriP

Depends on who you ask I should think. R = Rapidly?

6:06 am

LoriP

Rigidly ?

6:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, Rapid No Blank Tiles or for the competitive, Racing No Blank Tiles.

6:08 am

LoriP

I'm more of the "Eventually" type.

6:09 am

Haz1558

I'm HENTIRNBT.

6:10 am

LoriP

Yowsa! That one's not in my ATG (Acronym Translation Guide)...

6:11 am

Haz1558

Haven't Even Noticed That I've Reached No Blank Tiles.

6:11 am

NonoNanette

good one Haz

6:11 am

LoriP

l o l o l

6:12 am

Haz1558

That'll cause a few heads to be scratched.

6:12 am

NBT requires too much discipline for me

6:12 am

rubyfoo

hello again ,everybody,did n't even reach nbt this am, and only 65 words!

HI ruby

6:13 am

Hello, ruby.

hi lynx and haz

6:13 am

LoriP

Morning ruby

6:13 am

rubyfoo

discipline, what's that?

6:13 am

rubyfoo

hi lori

6:13 am

rubyfoo

hello hello no no!!!

6:15 am

Kallia

hello back from the dentist

6:15 am

rubyfoo

very nice lunch out in the local Sicilian!

6:15 am

Haz1558

Hello, Kalia. All well?

6:15 am

Kallia

no :(

6:16 am

herinfernallady

Were is Mrs FM

6:16 am

Haz1558

What's wrong?

6:16 am

lynxxx

hi Kallia. oh dear

6:16 am

Kallia

had one filling, but she is going to make an appointment with the dental consultant at the hospital

6:16 am

rubyfoo

oh, kallia, have a grappa, it puts an end to most woes!

6:16 am

LoriP

Morning Kallia

6:16 am

Haz1558

She claims she's gone to an art exhibition with her mother.

6:17 am

Kallia

I may have to have several extractions

6:17 am

Haz1558

Oh dear, wheeling in the big guns. That sounds worrying.

6:17 am

LoriP

Could be a hoax on her part, FM's cagey.

6:17 am

Kallia

oh well that'll take months to get sorted

6:17 am

rubyfoo

oh, poor kallia!!!!!

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Haz

6:17 am

Haz1558

Frankly, in the light of your revelations yesterday, Lori, I think she's probably visiting the chiropodist.

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Kallia ouchies :(

6:18 am

Kallia

:(

6:18 am

Haz1558

Wisdom teeth?

6:18 am

LoriP

I couldn't keep her secret any longer Haz, I thought it might take some pressure off her.

6:19 am

Haz1558

You're a good friend - sometimes secrets need to be shared.

6:19 am

Kallia

yep..does that mean I shall be wisdomless as well as toothless?

6:19 am

Kallia

but on a brighter note I have just had a huge parcel of beautiful threads delivered

6:19 am

Haz1558

Not at all, Kallia. I have only one tiny wisdom tooth and look how wise I am. (Looking around other babblers for confirmation)

6:20 am

rubyfoo

v nice, kallia!

6:20 am

Kallia

oh well lthat's ok then Haz

6:20 am

lynxxx

yes, yes, very wise woman

6:20 am

Haz1558

Threads. To be put through needles and sewn with? I feel slightly faint.

6:20 am

NonoNanette

< nods head. Yep lots of wisdom there

6:20 am

Kallia

yes that type of threads

6:20 am

rubyfoo

I hope it means wonderful clothes, all made!

6:20 am

Haz1558

Listen to lynxxx. She may disguise herself as a meerkat, but she knows what she's talking about.

6:21 am

Kallia

sewing for fun, not dressmaking or curtains or any of that boring stuff

6:21 am

Kallia

no ruby

6:21 am

LoriP

Wise, yes, yes that's what I was going to say. yah, yah that was it.

6:21 am

lynxxx

embroidery Kallia?

6:21 am

Haz1558

Embroidery or fancy sewing, then?

6:21 am

rubyfoo

eyes are gone, can't even thread a needle any more

6:21 am

Kallia

ok Lori what did she threaten you with?

6:22 am

Kallia

some embroidery, but fabric art using my machine mostly

6:22 am

Haz1558

Sewing for fun. That's as unlikely a sentence for me as Housekeeping is wonderful for Lori.

6:22 am

lynxxx

oooohhh lovely!!

6:22 am

rubyfoo

I love to embroider, but not anything special at it!

6:22 am

Kallia

believe it or not that is exazctly what I said about 18 months ago...now it is my 2nd addiction

6:22 am

LoriP

Haz knows. Those two things just don't jive.

6:23 am

Haz1558

FM's into embroidery as well, kind of free range with her machine.

6:23 am

Haz1558

Can you babble and sew at the same time, Kallia?

6:23 am

Kallia

!yep, I didn't know that FM was into it though.

6:23 am

lynxxx

Do you know the work of Annameika Mehan? beautiful art!

6:24 am

Kallia

not yep to the babble and swq lol

6:24 am

Haz1558

Indeed she is. I think she does some hand stuff as well. Or is she using the toes for sewing as well?

6:24 am

Kallia

no, but I will google her, there are lots of very talented fabric artists out there

6:24 am

lynxxx

sorry not Mahan but Mein

6:24 am

LoriP

Her Pedantics are legendary!

6:25 am

LoriP

FM that is. ***sigh***

6:25 am

Kallia

hehehehe

6:25 am

Kallia

yep I knw

6:26 am

Kallia

anyone got that strange m?

6:26 am

Haz1558

The legendary mr8?

6:26 am

NonoNanette

not I

6:26 am

Kallia

Sprite gave me a clue without meaning to this morning

6:26 am

Kallia

yep that's the one Haz...might have known you'd have it !

6:26 am

LoriP

God, to clue that without spelling it out requires interpretive dance. To a drum ebat perhaps.....

6:27 am

Haz1558

Drum beat and Greek tunics....

6:27 am

Kallia

well I'm sure Haz can clue it

6:27 am

LoriP

heh, tunics enhance the experience.

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I looked it up in the scrabble dictionary! too obscure for anybody

6:27 am

lynxxx

or an Australian animal

6:28 am

Haz1558

mr, plus two letters to say who you are, first three letters of celestial creatures (think Brad Pitt's girlfriend), wrap up with a vowel.

6:28 am

LoriP

mr + the self + ahh shucks! + vowel

6:28 am

Kallia

I got it

6:28 am

rubyfoo

nice clues!

6:28 am

Kallia

see told you Haz could do it.

6:29 am

Haz1558

I wonder how many variations there will be before the end of the day.

6:29 am

Kallia

and Lori

6:29 am

NonoNanette

Thanks Haz and Lori

6:29 am

LoriP

The mutations will be impressive I'm sure.

6:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. Looking to see if we can get any backwards clues in. A clue is always enhanced when backward features somewhere.

6:31 am

herinfernallady

d

6:31 am

Haz1558

Well look at that. m plus the lowest point backwards, finish with a vowel.

6:31 am

Haz1558

Told you it could be backwarded.

6:32 am

herinfernallady

seems I have nothing intelligent to say sorry about that

6:32 am

Haz1558

Sorry! Forget that, we've left out a consonant.

6:32 am

lynxxx

there is always the volcano

6:33 am

Kallia

gulp...you missed a letter!

6:33 am

LoriP

If only it were the legendary de 6.....

6:33 am

herinfernallady

O for gawd sake I missed that again

6:33 am

Haz1558

m plus lowest point backwards, finish with abbreviation for Atlanta's state.

6:33 am

LoriP

It's not really a true grid without the volcano.

6:33 am

Kallia

well it is here yet again

6:33 am

Haz1558

There. mr8 holds no fears.

6:34 am

Kallia

usually I miss it

6:34 am

LoriP

Nicely played Haz.

6:34 am

Kallia

how is it pronounced Haz (the mr

6:34 am

herinfernallady

sigh how do I always miss the obvious

6:35 am

Haz1558

Good grief. I labour long and hard to produce a backwards clue and Kallia wants to know how it's pronounced?

6:35 am

Haz1558

I don't get paid for this, you know.

6:35 am

Kallia

of course....just in case I need to use it later

6:36 am

Kallia

yeah you do...we say nice things about you...well mostly

6:36 am

Haz1558

I imagine, that you kind of run the m and the r together. Kind of shortened meringue sound.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

OK, I go the mr8 {weird) 8, but is there another?

6:36 am

Haz1558

You want more than one weird mr8, ruby? There's just that one.

6:36 am

LoriP

1 is plenty....

6:36 am

rubyfoo

is there a shorter mr?

6:37 am

Haz1558

There's only one m word.

6:37 am

NonoNanette

only the one m

6:37 am

Kaplan the Magne

well, this is a more fun grid than the last 2 anyway

6:37 am

lynxxx

hi Kap

6:37 am

rubyfoo

fun AND funny! hello kaplan!

6:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, Kaplan, it's more time-consuming, that's for sure.

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Hi Kaplan

6:38 am

any clue for the lonely o for nbt?

6:43 am

herinfernallady

Leave beer out and that will make them drunk and the wildlife happy. Hi Crossie

6:43 am

Eva

no-but they eat much more than their body weight in perennials every day.

6:44 am

Eva

sounds like you're having the same weather we are.

6:44 am

crosshair

howdy hern

6:44 am

crosshair

crossy still cannot focus

6:44 am

Eva

have to remember to buy a bottle of beer today.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

but they are very pretty and I don't mind sharing. Slugs, on the other hand, are disgusting!

6:45 am

Eva

wonder if deer and woodchuck like beer too? Last summer a slug fell into my sandals, between my toed and squoshed. That was truly lovely

6:45 am

godthaab

6:51 am

rubyfoo

6:51 am

Eva

6:51 am

lynxxx

thing on your forehead Ruby

6:52 am

LoriP

Lynx, all that preparation wasted because FM's Mother AND an Art Show are more important. Some peoples values are skewed.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

*stupid* spelled out?

6:53 am

LoriP

Or in + the Lunatic ******, great song by Red Rider.

6:58 am

Riverdance

he is doing good - went back to school yesterday and went to watch his baseball game to cheer his team on - cant play unfortunately - we still wait to hear from the hospital on when they can do the procedure

Riverdance

6:59 am

lynxxx

6:59 am

rubyfoo

7:00 am

Riverdance

he had a cardiac event Saturday - heart rate went over 300 - we spent Sat - Mon in the ICU

7:01 am

Riverdance

they need to do a catheterization - waiting to hear when that will be scheduled - he has to take cardiac meds now to keep his rate steady and absolutely no physical activity - tough for my boy who is an athlete

7:01 am

lynxxx

I saw that in the log, but missed the final diagnosis. I can 't imagine how you all must have felt

7:02 am

rubyfoo

ding

7:02 am

7:12 am

lynxxx

That looks very good Infernal, have bookmarked it. You would probably like the rootbeer cake

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Also What I do is put it in the oven then very carefully pore the hot water on it. I find that you have to be careful with that bit. I don't have a jug any more so I use cups into a large coffee marge

7:14 am

8:57 am

Riverdance

flosey - you will love it - I just made it for my book group last week - they were happy....

8:58 am

flosey

will try it beforehand, but sounds like one the bridge ladies will enjoy - starts up again in the Fall

8:59 am

Riverdance

and its quick and easy to make. Hardest thing about it is finding the lady fingers and the pineapple pie filling - I have had to substitute before - lemon works good as well

9:00 am

flosey

ah, thanks for that idea, I love anything with lemon

9:00 am

Riverdance

I need to get to work now - will save the last 88 for later - happy babbling everyone

9:00 am

flosey

River, do you suppose it would work with a can of crushed pineapple thickened?

9:00 am

flosey

have a good day River

9:00 am

Anniebrook

river, I copied your recipe--will try it..sounds delicious

9:02 am

Riverdance

I havent tried that - the pie filling is a different consistency and probably a little sweeter - dont know if it would work out.

9:02 am

Riverdance

bye for now

Afternoon Haz!
Hi lbd, smiling at yr icon.

10:17 am

Haz1558

Hey ho, FM!

10:17 am

FMitch

How Spangle doing these days Haz, meant to ask the other day.

10:18 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, she had been doing well, but over the past few days I've noticed that she's starting to drag again. I think we may need to up the dosage.

10:19 am

FMitch

awe poor sausage!

10:19 am

Haz1558

She's back to showing minimal excitement when her lead is produced, whereas before we were getting the circulating frenzy. If there were a decent vet around, we'd get this sorted.

10:20 am

FMitch

LOL. Shame there isn't a decent vet in the house ;)

10:20 am

Haz1558

I know.

10:21 am

Haz1558

We have the phone tonight so I'll speak to Anne Marie, the vet who diagnosed her and who takes her work seriously.

10:21 am

FMitch

Has Mr Haz done much walking with you?

10:21 am

FMitch

Ah thats handy.

10:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, he came with me on a longish (8 +miles) on Sunday.

10:22 am

Haz1558

He happily points out the crops growing in the fields and who owns the field etc. It keeps him happy.

10:23 am

Haz1558

Plus he spotted buzzards circling overhead, so that pleased him.

10:23 am

FMitch

Oh now that is not something you see all the time.

10:23 am

beachboggle

Hi fellow babblers!

10:23 am

FMitch

Hi beach.

10:24 am

Haz1558

I even spotted a heron all by myself the other day. I didn't even need the bird book!

10:24 am

Haz1558

Hello beach.

10:24 am

FMitch

shhhh don't mention herons you will get ruby's husband in all of a kerfuffle!

10:24 am

Haz1558

How was your art exhibition, FM?

10:25 am

Haz1558

This one was looking particularly full and particularly guilty. It spoke with a French accent.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Should we be suspicious?

10:26 am

FMitch

Oh it was wonderful Haz, it is held in a private house with a variety of artists. Sculputres, paintings ceramics and jewelry. Was most impressed by how much had been sold as none of it was particularly cheap.

10:26 am

FMitch

heh heh Haz

10:26 am

Haz1558

Did you buy anything or just gaze in wonderment that people could afford the prices?

10:27 am

FMitch

I gazed in wonderment and whispered the prices to Mum who also thoroughly enjoyed it.

10:27 am

bichon

Haz, what is wrong with Spangle

10:28 am

Haz1558

She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a while ago, had been doing well on the tablets, but I think she needs the dosage to be increased.

10:29 am

FMitch

There were a couple of prints that I liked for about Â£20 each but I really don't need anymore pictures. However there was a beautiful bronze of a greyhound (about a foot tall) which I coveted but not to the tune of Â£500.

10:29 am

Haz1558

Now, if we could get lynxxx to get a cast made of Stew....

10:29 am

Haz1558

And then get it shrunk....

10:29 am

bichon

I wish there was a pill I coud give to Biscuit that would make him better. He's 16 and has kidney problems

10:30 am

FMitch

awe - 16 is a very good age bichon

10:30 am

Haz1558

Sadly, no such tablet, bichon. Are the kidney problems well managed at the minute?

10:31 am

bichon

He takes enalapril for his heart murmur That's supposed to help kidneys too The diet didn't help either

10:32 am

bichon

He's lost a couple of pounds

10:33 am

Haz1558

I think sometimes the diets don't so much help as not make things worse.

10:34 am

bichon

He really didn't eat much of the food so I decided to just let him eat the food he did eat. I really can't expect much more than 16 years

10:34 am

FMitch

That is fair enough bichon

10:36 am

Haz1558

I know. You'd love for them to live for ever, but it's not possible, unfortunately.

10:36 am

bichon

He's been a great dog. Typical Bichon personality, very mellow

10:37 am

FMitch

bAlthough I haven't had a pet for years they bring so much pleasure and happiness into ones life.

10:38 am

bichon

I'd love to get another Bichon, but being retired and traveling a lot to CA puts a burden on my daughter and her family

10:43 am

FMitch

sorry for the silence I went on a flurry of word finding for a couple of mins. Have ground to a halt again.

10:46 am

lbdawger

Haz1558

Goodness, just as well I refreshed. I hadn't seen any new log posts for ages.

11:00 am

hurshy

Wondered where you had got to Haz.
Hi hurshy!

11:01 am

lbdawger

Haz1558

Greetings to you as well!

11:01 am

lbdawger

11:02 am

FMitch

Ladies Day tomorrow at Ascot Haz, can't wait to see the pics in the papers :)

11:02 am

hurshy

what does that mean? all women jockeys?

11:02 am

Haz1558

I know - I haven't seen much of it at all (apart from Clare Balding's hat today) so it will be a treat.

11:02 am

Haz1558

Lady's Day traditionally is the day when the ladies make most effort with their outfits.

11:03 am

Mom

afternoon everyone

11:03 am

Haz1558

Some of the outfits are more successful than others.

11:03 am

Haz1558

Hello, Mom!

11:03 am

hurshy

well that sounds more like fashion industry day then.

11:03 am

FMitch

the not so good outfits are an absolute hoot

11:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, I suppose Ascot is about horses and fashion just about equally.

11:04 am

Haz1558

On balance, probably more money is spent on the horses, but it's a close run thing.

11:04 am

FMitch

I have attended Ladies Day on many occasions and had much fun.

11:04 am

Haz1558

Did I type Lady's Day? What is wrong with me?

11:05 am

Mom

Hi Haz

11:05 am

hurshy

a momentary lapse

11:05 am

hurshy

we weren't going to comment, since we know you know better

11:05 am

FMitch

Gosh you did Haz!!! *psses some blue pills over to you*

11:05 am

FMitch

Hi Mom

11:06 am

Mom

Hi FMitch

11:06 am

mkg

not an easy grid.

11:07 am

hurshy

it's much easier with the list.

11:08 am

Haz1558

Downing the blue pills. I'm so ashamed.

11:09 am

FMitch

At least you managed to help me this morning with my gramatical query before your brain went AWOL.

11:10 am

Haz1558

This is true. I blame the humidity.

11:10 am

FMitch

You have humidity, we have sun but quite a strong wind.

11:11 am

Haz1558

I did a brisk walk for an hour so have lost vital brain fluid.

11:12 am

FMitch

I can get the water cannon out if you like ... ?

11:12 am

hurshy

you two are like the female version of fry and laurie

11:12 am

Haz1558

It's okay. Gentle rehydration works, not being blown off my feet!

11:12 am

FMitch

ROFL!

11:12 am

Haz1558

And that, knowing you, hurshy, is quite a compliment.

11:13 am

hurshy

:)

11:13 am

FMitch

Which one is Fry and which is Laurie? No don't answer that.

11:13 am

joshuavorbis

just got ge5/16 totally by myself. that always seem to be my last word when it's in a grid

11:14 am

FMitch

wtg josh!

11:14 am

hurshy

*wants to answer but has been bidden not to*

11:14 am

Haz1558

Ah, with the infamous robotic ending....

11:14 am

hurshy

help with wa6 and 7 that are in the middle of words about being in a decline?

11:15 am

Mom

**thinking what word that could me**

11:15 am

FMitch

lol go on the hursh we know you want to :)

11:15 am

Haz1558

wa6 - starts pale, then either a horse, or a complaining woman, backwards.

11:16 am

hurshy

laurie is the skinnier one. who now plays house.

11:16 am

Mom

thanks Haz

11:16 am

Haz1558

And then the wa7 puts in another vowel to make another syllable.

11:16 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Mom.

11:16 am

FMitch

Ah well I guess that makes me Fry then.

11:17 am

Mom

and for the 7 as well

11:17 am

hurshy

oh YOU meant which of YOU is fry and which is laurie. duh. i am so thick.

11:17 am

lbdawger

ty, haz!

11:17 am

hurshy

thank you haz, i am now finished.

11:17 am

Mom

{{LBD}} hello

11:17 am

Haz1558

I'd be flattered to be either. They're both clever, both successful, Laurie plays the piano beautifully, Fry knows everything....

11:17 am

Mom

congrats Hurshy

11:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. Well done, hurshy!

11:18 am

hurshy

i didn't imagine there had to be a one-to-one correspondence. just the general comedic pair vibe.

11:18 am

Haz1558

And Fry has the most delicious speaking voice.

11:18 am

Haz1558

See that, we're a comedic pair, FM! I bet Ata feels left out....

11:18 am

FMitch

He does, I love QI

11:19 am

lbdawger

whooo hoooo hursh!

11:19 am

Being Einstein's granddaughter is all very well....

did you know a snapple is 20 oz? it doesn't LOOK that big and then you see the label and say wow, 2.5 of my 8 glasses of liquid in one fell swoop!

11:21 am

stidmama

*stealth hugs hurshy* YAY hurshy!

11:21 am

stidmama

how's the grid today?

11:22 am

Mom

Hi Stid

11:22 am

hurshy

the grid is hardish, but mostly fine with list. a few very weird ones.

11:22 am

stidmama

good to know. I'll try for halfway today then.

11:22 am

joshuavorbis

anytime you have a k things get weird

11:23 am

Mom

halfway is doable Stid

11:23 am

FMitch

Hi stiddy!

What is a snapple hursh?

11:23 am

stidmama

snapple is a very peculiar fruit-based drink in the U.S. FM.

11:24 am

FMitch

Ah thanks stid.

11:25 am

hurshy

my husband is always telling me we don't REALLY need 8 glasses of liquid per day. somehow he knows more than all the doctors and nutritionists. it's really quite remarkable.

11:26 am

lbdawger

ta da! pyros! ty for all the clues!

11:26 am

nest time he has to whizz you kidney stone shrapnek,he will change his mind on daily fluid intake lol

11:26 am

congrats LBD

11:26 am

It is amazing how long it takes to get properly rehydrated if you are not taking a good amount of water on board each day.

11:26 am

crosshair

whizz out*

11:27 am

Mom

does the in 8 build off the in 6?

11:27 am

(((FM)))

11:27 am

Mom

Hi crossy

11:27 am

FMitch

shrapnek sounds even more painful :)

11:27 am

stidmama

actually, he is correct hurshy. According to the WHO, "Given the extreme variability in water needs which are not
solely based on differences in metabolism, but also in
environmental conditions and activity, there is not a single
level of water intake that would ensure adequate hydration
and optimal health for half of all apparently healthy persons in
all environmental conditions."

11:27 am

stidmama

hey cross!

11:27 am

crosshair

i drink at least 10 of those regular sized bottles of water per day

11:28 am

joshuavorbis

a lot of the water you need every day you get from the food you eat

11:28 am

lbdawger

no the in8 is in + stringy decorations on slipcovers.

11:28 am

stidmama

YAY LBD! have you been working at this grid for long?

11:28 am

crosshair

howdy stiddles

11:28 am

Mom

ah, thank you LBD

11:28 am

hurshy

well how do you find out what YOUR water intake need is, then?

11:28 am

lbdawger

hiya Stid. yeah been here a couple of hours.

11:28 am

joshuavorbis

if you're thirsty - drink water. if you're not, don't

11:28 am

crosshair

when you piss kidney stones..you need more lol

11:29 am

FMitch

When you have to pee every 5 mins you probably don't need to drink quite so much *grin*

11:29 am

Mom

my mom always says the more you pee the less you cry

11:29 am

lbdawger

even after having kidney stones, hubz still doesn't drink enough water, he considers coffee sufficient liquids.

11:29 am

crosshair

good lord

11:29 am

stidmama

People who are sedentary and in a temperate environment (like me) need less than an active person in a hot desert. Each person's need varies from day to day as well -- you can tell if you are hydrated by looking at mucous membranes, but most people feel thirsty when they need more fluid intake. And it's not just the drinking of water, but juices and liquids contained in foods.

11:29 am

hurshy

ok, we have boundaries on either side

11:30 am

Riverdance

thats the one good time to be a woman - doesnt hurt pissing kidney stones - I know from experience

11:30 am

lbdawger

you also need to find out what is causing the kidney stones, calcium and sodium are top suspects.

11:30 am

Hi River

Hi River

11:30 am

stidmama

Coffee and tea are diuretics, though -- and not recommended (if I recall correctly) for people with kidney problems

11:30 am

hurshy

the other good time to be a woman is apparently when you are a politician running for office with people claiming to have had affairs with you...

11:30 am

stidmama

hey River! how are you doing today?

11:31 am

hurshy

stid, does that apply to herbal tea or just proper tea?

11:31 am

lbdawger

hiya, river!

11:31 am

Haz1558

I must head to the kitchen. Have a good day! Bye!

11:31 am

Riverdance

I am well - busy busy - taking a minute to pass by and say hello before going to lunch

11:31 am

Mom

bye bye Haz

11:31 am

FMitch

Bye Haz!!

11:32 am

Riverdance

all tea is proper hurshy - never heard of tea going off the deep end

11:32 am

stidmama

caffeinated tea, I believe. Most common herbal teas (but not all, dandelion for example being a great diuretic) are not diuretics. So peppermint and chamomile for example should be okay.

11:32 am

stidmama

later Haz

11:32 am

lbdawger

bye, Haz. thanks for the clues today!

11:33 am

Riverdance

peppermint helps you to me - remember that after giving birth to my first

11:34 am

crosshair

lol

11:34 am

FMitch

Crossy can be blamed for so many things - it takes the weight off my shoulders :)

11:34 am

stidmama

If you have concerns about whether a beverage is okay, most pharmacists know when herbs interfere with medications so could probably say if it's "safe" -- also in Washington state at least there are highy trained herbalists and naturopaths who understand the nutritional requirements and effects of dietary substances.

11:34 am

stidmama

hey jmc

11:34 am

stidmama

peppermint is the only mint I can still tolerate... *sigh*

11:34 am

11:49 am

stidmama

Of course, he has accomodations for his neurololgical issues, but so far the other issues weren't enough to merit services (according to the school). We are now going to be pushing VERY hard. But I still feel awful that we allowed it to wait.

11:49 am

stidmama

I don't watch scary movies, Nancy Boy. There is a reason for that!

11:50 am

FMitch

I remember going to the cinema to see The Omen when it first came out.

11:50 am

EvaNadine

well, if you can smuggle yourself aboard a plane or boat, you know theres a place for you here!!

12:22 pm

movieman

Oh, in that case, the decapitation scene in the remake is slightly different to the original

12:24 pm

movieman

And in the original, Kathy gets pushed out the window by Mrs. Baylock, rather than having air injected into her IV line

12:25 pm

caitlyn

mm you really love your films

12:25 pm

Nancy Boy

well, a friend of mine has a spare room and actually -needs- a flatmate, which is good! there's one or two issues surrounding it but I'm taking anything I can get

1:01 pm

stidmama

here's how it works (like parenting and school): you make your best plans without going crazy. Then the day arrives and whatever happens, happens. The important thing is that you are starting your new life as a married couple and that your family and friends will be there to support you. The rest is all just superficial (though pretty) stuff.

1:01 pm

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

we use the little plastic bags that the stores insist on using for vegetables and use a tiny wastebasket in kitchen. All plastic, newspapers and glass gets recycled

1:09 pm

but since they don't separate the glass colors, I don't really trust their recycling!

1:10 pm

periwinkle

we use the bags from the store too and then when they get full they are emptied into the larger one outside that ends up really stinky. will line it with a large black bag as soon as it drys

1:10 pm

2:38 pm

sciencegeek

first ti 6 please

2:38 pm

HotspurOG

It's probably obvious, but I can't figure the hint code you're using. For example, can anyone translate this?: sa 8: compound word: 4/4 + 4/7 babblets

2:38 pm

stidmama

ow! MOM!!!! *whimper, innocent look*

2:39 pm

Riverdance

sa is the first two letters in the word 4/7 means it is 4 letters long and worth 7 points

2:39 pm

Pinikula

hotspur...clues: xx (first 2 letters of the word), first number = the number of letters in the word, second number = point value of the word

2:39 pm

stidmama

sa 8 is an 8 letter word starting with Sa. the first part is one word that has four letters and is worth 4 points. the second word is four letters worth 7 points

2:39 pm

HotspurOG

How do you know a word starts with sa?

2:39 pm

Riverdance

there is a list on lickety - scroll down below the tile stats

topicals are best and least toxic - you need a cream with capsaicin in it - most are Rx, but some are over the counter, talk to your pharamcist

8:26 pm

if the topicals are not effective over about a week, then can go up, but neurontin is a big gun with lots of side effects, start with the least toxic

I already kn4/12 I wa4/8ed to be a teacher when I was ni4/4 years old.My Aunt, who is an ag 6/24 since she is my father's sister, got me into teaching.She is the one who ai 4/4ed me as I grew up. I kept as6/36 my Aunt questions about her job and she woud in 6/30 me of anything I needed to know.I thought her job was so ne4/4.She was a very de 4/8 teacher. Her teaching style still aw4/8 me to this day. My friends always liked to play in the di 4/5 during their free time or sime liked to sk 5/18 at the ri 4/8. However, I spent my free time reading about how teachers. My friends all thought that I was insa 4/4. While all of my friends fe 5/20ed sickness all the time,I didn't miss one day of school because I did not wa4/8 to miss a thing. Even when I was not feeling fi 4/7,I still went to school. I kn4/12 that everything I learned in school would help me to become a teacher one day. Everyday I'd ri 4/5 the school bus to school with such excitement. Even though I did have some learning we4/12nesse I always tr 5/12 to do my best at school.My friends always ga4/6ed in class and the teacher would be wa 6/48 them up. However, I was always alert. While my friends were ir5/14 or ir6/36 the teacher with their behavior, I was good. I loved ta 6/36 tests.Any ta4/8 my teacher gave me I would do with enthusiasm. My dream came true & I we 4/8 on to become a teacher. I'll be teaching until I'm a se 5/10 citizen. Da 4/7! Husband is kicking me off the computer again.I'm going to get out of my se4/4 and go to the fr 6/36 for some dessert. Be back later on.

9:33 pm

stidmama

I would call the hospital administration... And follow up in writing with a registered letter (a trick my friend LBD taught me) and tell them that you need ANSWERS.

9:33 pm

stidmama

can he do gentle exercise? Is he allowed to walk several miles, for example?

9:35 pm

lbdawger

imagine trying to make either stidkid walk slowly and do things quietly, stid! i'm thinkin' that's where River's at with her boy.

9:35 pm

Riverdance

all I need is a date - if they cant book me I will ask them who to contact in Boston - Childrens Hospital in Boston is awesome - where my son has his open heart surgery at 7 weeks - they will take him back - if they can do it sooner will drive the distance

9:35 pm

stidmama

What happens if his father calls the hospital? Sometimes they listen to men better than to women. *feminist-indignant mama look*

9:35 pm

stidmama

I completely know where she's at... *sigh* fortunately haven't had to deal with enforced stillness.

10:23 pm

stidmama

stidkid thinks that is funny too...

10:23 pm
