Christine

Will someone define troll, as it applies to the chat

1:32 am

jillibus

hello Christine -- a troll is someone who come here just to be a nuisance, often using obscenities or just holding down a key to disrupt the chat, or insults babblers and so on. Why?

1:32 am

anike

fireworks - just in time because visitirs have turned up unexpectedly

1:33 am

jillibus

YAY anike!!! Have fun!

1:33 am

Christine

I saw something yesterday or the day before that mentioned it, and couldn't remember the definition. Thanks, Jillibus.

If you encounter a troll, just ignore it -- do not feed it.

3:45 am

loredana

glad to hear it is she now out of pain

3:47 am

sandyloo

I admire Cadel as an athlete - he is amazing despite his bad temper- he says he will never win as he is the only drug free player (or something like that) I will be hoping that he wins of course

5:33 am

City 17 dweller

it was a small one to start with 100x100 pixels. I wonder if anyone asked Dr. G for slightly larger icons in the 'new and improved' site?

5:35 am

City 17 dweller

Your icon was especially well timed :)

Nasty housework/nasty grid????
Nasty grid wins!!

6:36 am

City 17 dweller

6:38 am

Mom

Its a tough one, struggled from half way.

6:49 am

Mom

I wonder if this isn't one of those grids where the "new" rotate button wouldn't come in handy

6:51 am

lynxxx

There are some pretty obscure words in here

6:51 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babble Buddies!

6:51 am

Mom

Mom

6:54 am

Scrabbler

TY, Lynxx

6:54 am

Mom

thanks Lynxxx, would never have gotten that one

6:55 am

Scrabbler

I hope it is quiet + calm. I woke up with a migraine.

6:55 am

lynxxx

but you can be at home during that time Scrabs?

6:55 am

Mom

oh of all days

6:55 am

Scrabbler

Do you know what I first typed, Lynxxx? Hanana. I thought, "This is like a banana."

6:55 am

Mom

sweetie starts calls at 8 a.m. until 8 tomorrow morning

6:55 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Lynxxx, I can remain home but must be within 30 min drive of the hospital.

6:56 am

Scrabbler

Let's hope the elevators behave. Am I right that he is an elevator expert?

6:57 am

Mom

yes, he is an elevator mechanic

6:57 am

Mom

at least he doesn't have to worry about the elevators playing with fireworks and getting burned

6:58 am

Mom

like children

6:58 am

Mom

maybe one of you all can answer a question for me.

6:58 am

Scrabbler

Summer is injury season and Independence Day weekend is a busy one.

6:59 am

Mom

Several people were talking about hoping Dr. God puts an edit button on the new version. What will an edit button be used for?

6:59 am

Soodle

I really don't know, Mom. I am a bit apprehensive of the new-look babble.

6:59 am

Mom

for your sake Scrabbler, I hope it is an easy one, especially with your migraine

6:59 am

Scrabbler

Hmm, maybe to block a troll from the chat so we don't see their entries?

7:00 am

lynxxx

didn't understand that one either Mom. I am more than happy with a rotate thingamagig

7:00 am

FMitch

Hopefully he will beta test the new site with us first like he did last time the format was changed.
Greetings all.

Yes, I do like the rotation feature a lot.

Hi red and Kenny. And Mr Bob. I didn't think anyone was here so have concentrated on the grid.

8:29 am

redturtlehead

8:29 am

I am distinctly not working with a good crew, but...it could be worse.

8:29 am

Nef

Nice perks!

8:30 am

redturtlehead

It's great, as it's the gym I already use...

8:30 am

Danr! Sometimes a good team is all that you need to make a great workplace. I hope that it gets better

8:31 am

redturtlehead

Well, they had a difficult manager for years who encouraged tattle tale behavior, and she has left, SOoooo, people are feeling more relaxed, I think it shall improve.

8:31 am

Nef

(That was "Darn", not Danr, but you figured that out

8:32 am

redturtlehead

Yes. I am feeling pretty good about the entire move. and the paycheck is much improved as well!

8:32 am

If they got rid of a bad apple and hire peole with more positive behaviors, things can improve

9:22 am

Nef

Mojo, I'm not sure how you're counting, but the th word you are talking about is a th7

9:23 am

Mojo1158

I thought the number referred to the value of the first two tiles...this is day 3 on babble for me! so the number is the number of letters in the word?

9:24 am

Nef

the first number is the number of letters

9:26 am

Mojo1158

you can also add an R

9:40 am

Nef

Mojo, another site I recommend to newbies is down under the tile stats grid is a list of Friend of Babble. AngelSong's Babble Page is the last one and it's terrific for explaining the game

9:41 am

Nef

Hi NB

9:41 am

Nancy Boy

hi, LB and Nef! :) and you're welcome, Pini :)

9:41 am

Pinikula

Great pic, NB!

9:43 am

Nancy Boy

thank you, Pini! I do try my best ;)

9:44 am

Nef

hi, Pini. I'm trying to behave and not end up in the PB this am. Off to a bad start though

9:44 am

Nancy Boy

How is life for you two?

9:44 am

Pinikula

I'll forgive you, Nef! * placing chocolate in PB, just in case *

9:45 am

Pinikula

fair to midlin, NB...in other words, SSDD (same sh** different day)

9:45 am

Nancy Boy

lol Pini...I hear that.

9:46 am

Nef

I'm looking at bills right now; not the most pleasant task after these past 2 months....

9:46 am

Nef

LOL, Pini, I think I'll say SDDS (ame day, different sh**)

9:47 am

Nancy Boy

Been doing lots of that myself Nef - when I'm not busy wringing my hands in despair. Paying for two flats this month, one of which I'm not even LIVING in...grrr...I'm the definition of skint.

9:47 am

Nef

SAME

9:47 am

Pinikula

but days have to change, Nef...gotta keep moving along...

9:48 am

Pinikula

NB...why 2 flats?

9:48 am

Jellen

Hello, Babblers!

9:48 am

Pinikula

morning jellen

9:48 am

littlebit

hey jellen!

9:48 am

Nancy Boy

In fact, I'm the definition of po4/5 ;)
Pini, because I'd paid my month's rent for Leo's, but then of course had to leave and put down money for the one I'm in now...

9:49 am

Nancy Boy

hello, Jellen :)

9:49 am

Jellen

Going to update my profile...brb

9:49 am

Nef

I've been UP since 4:30 AM; just definitely NOT awake. (Couldn't stay in bed any longer, achey)

9:49 am

Nef

Hi Jellen

9:49 am

Pinikula

I gather from that you and Leo are no longer together? Why isn't he paying for his own flat?

9:50 am

Nancy Boy

Oh well Pini, it's kind of a long story. Basically, I paid my half of the rent at the beginning of the month, as usual, and then found out he'd been cheating on me - so got out of there. That's the short version..

9:50 am

Nancy Boy

Ouch, Nef! What a pain :(

9:51 am

Pinikula

Oh, so sorry to hear, NB...perhaps HE should have been the one to leave and, as "punishment," incur the additional costs you are trying to cover (or at least give you 1/2 back).

9:51 am

Nef

I just did too much, then was crawling around on the floor with my grandson night before last.

9:52 am

Pinikula

Oh, to be young again, eh, Nef? :)

9:53 am

Nef

It would be nice. Tonight we are going to visit our old neighbors, so will be on the floor with my "adopted" grandkids too

9:53 am

Nancy Boy

S'alright, Pini :) I'm just glad I was able to find somewhere else to live! I was up sh!t creek without a paddle for a while.

9:53 am

Pinikula

...and I probably shouldn't say anything since I see I'm rather late on finding out, NB...but your picture is great! You look incredibly happy!!!

9:54 am

Nancy Boy

Thank you, Pini :) it's reminding me to smile these days ;) I've been lucky though - stumbled a bit but landed on my feet!

9:55 am

Pinikula

That's what I like to hear, NB!!! Good for you for keeping your chin up!

9:55 am

Jellen

Landing on your feet is a great skill to have!

9:56 am

Nef

NB, I'm glad that you realize that you can land on your feet, that's an important life lesson

9:56 am

Nancy Boy

Pfffft, I've lost a family, a university place and a boyfriend - I'm getting used to this now ;)

9:57 am

Nancy Boy

thank you :) well, I couldn't have done it alone! Lots of babblers, as well as some other great friends, have made it easier

9:57 am

Pinikula

...a bit much for your young years, but experience that will make moments down the road seem trivial; you are resiliant! :)

9:58 am

Nef

I'm having serious lag time here; and now DH wants me to do some stuff around the house. I have to reboot; so will get away from the computer at the same time. BBL!

9:58 am

Nancy Boy

Also. Tequila helped ;)

9:58 am

Nancy Boy

See you, Nef! Don't work too hard :)

9:58 am

Pinikula

take care, Nef!

9:59 am

Jellen

later, Nef!

9:59 am

littlebit

bye nef!

9:59 am

Jellen

Profile updated...

9:59 am

Nef

NB, be careful of that tequila. Sometimes booze seems like a friend, but it won't fix anything

9:59 am

Nef

bye now! <poof>

9:59 am

Pinikula

NB...Teq not exactly good alternative; may need to consider seeking out a different alternative for future reference! * big sis concern *

Jellen

Singing along with Led Zepp as we chat :-)

10:01 am

wildcat17

good

10:01 am

Pinikula

Jellen, sorry you both have to stay longer; hope the hiccups have subsided!!!

10:01 am

Nancy Boy

Don't worry Pini, I'm mainly joking. I spent some time completely smashed - had no idea where I was, but of course that didn't help. Being more sensible now

10:01 am

wildcat17

big hugs for both of you. hope things get better soon

10:02 am

Nancy Boy

Oooh, good taste, Jellen! I love me some LZ ;)

10:02 am

Pinikula

Good boy, NB!!! * beaming * you did learn something!! :)

10:02 am

Jellen

We're going to cruise the hospital in a wheelchair in a bit.

10:02 am

Pinikula

Oh, that will be a nice change of pace, Jellen!

10:03 am

Jellen

That's my music, too, NB! Like Rush?

10:04 am

Pinikula

<-- country girl

10:05 am

Jellen

We listen to country, too, Pini!

10:05 am

Pinikula

yeah!!!!

10:05 am

Jellen

OK, going on a walk...bbl!

10:06 am

Pinikula

Enjoy!

10:07 am

Nancy Boy

I'm into a lot of 80s recently - have an almost physical dependency on Depeche Mode. I was born out of my time..

10:08 am

Nancy Boy

But lots of classics too - Pink Floyd, The Doors. I might just love music full stop ;)

10:08 am

Mojo1158

hello NB...I love Depeche Mode...and the Cure and the Smiths even more!

10:08 am

Pinikula

Probably kind of like me...I happen to enjoy 50-60's quite a bit

10:08 am

herinfernallady

pounce pounce HI

10:08 am

hiya herin

10:09 am

How you?

10:09 am

Love both of those, Mojo!

10:09 am

herinfernallady

I got to see the Cure live :D

10:09 am

littlebit

(((HERIN!!)))

10:10 am

Nancy Boy

Best band I ever saw live was definitely Radiohead at the Reading Festival '09. Literally perfect!

10:11 am

herinfernallady

Hugs

10:11 am

herinfernallady

NB you are so lucky to live in England.

10:11 am

herinfernallady

I was looking forward to Sensation this NYE but no can't have as Aus is too far away

10:12 am

Pinikula

Groups other than country that I've seen include: Prince, Leonard Skinner, Deaf Leopard, Journey...

10:12 am

Pinikula

Journey was enjoyable; the others were a little much

10:12 am

Nancy Boy

Tell me about it...English festivals are awesome. The hygiene situation can be hard to take though ;) Plus, sleeping in a tent with five other boys = Jesse is not a happy camper

10:13 am

Nancy Boy

Prince! Wow.

10:13 am

herinfernallady

Well I was gratful for the Cure as I know how much he hates flying

10:13 am

Pinikula

When he was still Prince even!

10:14 am

Nancy Boy

Actually, seeing Placebo was pretty awesome. I got right to the front, was black and blue all over at the end - so worth it.

10:15 am

Pinikula

black/blue? gads, tough crowds!

10:16 am

Mojo1158

when my daughter saw Nirvana she was PROUD that she has been kicked in the head in the mosh pit! Teenagers! I bet she would be shamed by thta story now!

10:16 am

Nancy Boy

It was my own fault - the vocalist threw his shirt into the crowd and I caught it. I was immediately set upon :P Had to have stitches afterwards. Still have that shirt though!

10:17 am

Pinikula

Holy cow! Mojo...does she still talk about it like it was fun?

10:17 am

Mojo1158

awesome NB! I once got and kept (to this day) a Bunny Carlos drumstick!

10:17 am

Pinikula

way to hold on, NB!!!

10:17 am

Nancy Boy

I would be proud, Mojo! One would expect little else at Nirvana ;) I got suckered into going to a Slipknot gig once...that was pretty violent.

10:18 am

Mojo1158

No Pink...she is 30 something and I am sure she would be mortified to know I had told!

10:18 am

Pinikula

you, too, Mojo...

10:18 am

Nancy Boy

Thank you ladies ;) I was proud myself. My parents thought I'd been attacked.

10:18 am

Pinikula

...I'll just watch the music conversation now since I think I'm dating myself fast!

10:19 am

herinfernallady

hmmph I need about $1000 by now :( I wont o go out

10:19 am

Jillyjill

Ok...old age department here....drumstick from Moody Blues...

10:19 am

herinfernallady

Nancy I was 3 from the frount for Placebo

10:19 am

Nancy Boy

Wow, I can't remember what it's like to have an amount of money in four figures.

10:20 am

Pinikula

I missed an opportunity to see Glen Yarborough a few months ago...I wish I'd been able to go!

10:20 am

Nancy Boy

What'd you think of them, Herin? They are a fun band to see live...I'm a big fan. Definitely have a crush on Brian ;)

10:20 am

Pinikula

what are you saving for, herin?

10:20 am

herinfernallady

I want to go to Sydney to a massive dance party. Tickets are $200 each and now himself wants to come and play too

10:20 am

Pinikula

herin, have himself foot the bill? or his part?

10:21 am

herinfernallady

O be still my beating heart Brian Molko up close is just as hot

10:21 am

herinfernallady

Pini himself wants to come and play so now it is double the cost

10:21 am

Pinikula

you worry about your 1/2, herin; if he wants to go, let him worry about his

10:22 am

Pinikula

...and now that I've really dated myself, I think I'm going to try and find something for breakfast...

10:22 am

herinfernallady

No Pini it is a team thing

10:22 am

Pinikula

...back in a bit.

10:22 am

Nancy Boy

You're telling me, Herin ;) and to think I own a shirt that was once worn on that charismatic, sweaty back. Ahhhh!

10:22 am

Pinikula

(oh, gotcha, herin...still...have him cough up some dough)

10:23 am

Nancy Boy

and the best thing about him is that we're both in with a chance, Herin ;)

10:23 am

herinfernallady

O yes Pini for sure

10:23 am

dan2bit

herinfernallady

Dan I refuse to grow up

10:25 am

dan2bit

nothing wrong with that!

10:25 am

Nancy Boy

He IS pretty. Nice guy, too. Seriously though, I suffered for that shirt - black eye, bruises all over, stitches...my nipple ring got ripped out, which I think is the next worst thing to being kicked in the crotch. But SO worth it.

10:26 am

herinfernallady

Awww

10:26 am

herinfernallady

and OUCH NB

10:27 am

Nancy Boy

It's what happens when twenty teenage girls are scratching desperately at your chest, Herin ;) I was glad to be gay that day..

10:27 am

herinfernallady

I removed my ear and nose piercing before this concert and I didn't move the entire time from the spot I was in (which was for about 5 hours)

10:27 am

Nancy Boy

They were after the shirt, of course, not me!

10:28 am

herinfernallady

Well you never know NB

10:28 am

10:34 am

Jillyjill

OUCH!!

10:34 am

Jellen

Hi again...just got back from the giftshop...took a wheelchair, but he walked around the shop...was a bit much for him...pain is back...

Nancy Boy

Can say that again Jilly - I let out a most unmanly scream ;)

10:35 am

Jellen

I'm good...slept better last night...

10:36 am

Jillyjill

I bet, I actually cannot imagine having that ripped out...especially after nursing both my sons!!

10:38 am

Nancy Boy

It was my ticket to freedom though - there was an impressive amount of blood. Left the venue the dignified way - carried by security ;)

10:39 am

Jillyjill

hope they were good looling!! 1st class all the way NB!!

10:41 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Jilly! Quite ;)

jesdraggon

very very hot water

11:12 am

melody17

wait fo it to dry and then pick it off?

11:12 am

redturtlehead

phae, you can freeze it and then remove it, but if its colored it probably will stain.

11:13 am

jesdraggon

but if it's colored wax it'll still leave a mark.

11:13 am

phaeton

tried that melody...it's kind of a lacy thing and doesn't want to let go

11:13 am

melody17

iron over it with brown paper...tht gets out greasae marks so may work

11:13 am

phaeton

thanks...i'll try the suggestions

11:14 am

my new interns will be fine - one is very good (from Miami, red), the other is having a slow start but I think he will get the hang of it

11:15 am

kje

I like green enchiladas

11:15 am

Minveryork

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today

11:16 am

sciencegeek

yes, that one sounded very yummy

11:16 am

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

11:16 am

redturtlehead

Well,the Miamian, must think Texas is cool in comparison. Did you get any of the Hurricane weather?

11:16 am

kje

pretty flowers, min!

11:16 am

jesdraggon

hello, min! doing alright in the real world, but getting my butt kicked inthe grid

11:16 am

kje

we have gotten rain everyday for a week now... and gushers yesterday

11:16 am

Minveryork

Thanks kje~!

11:17 am

kje

U of Miami has grads are really prepped and ready to hit the ground running as interns, I think... I have had several from there and they "get" the whole picture

11:18 am

Minveryork

Not sure how long I will be here. I have 3 little nieces and one computer. Also,going to pool party very soon

11:18 am

kje

that sounds like fun. min!

11:18 am

redturtlehead

thanks good news kje. I have actually never been to Miami!

11:19 am

redturtlehead

does sound like a good way to be in the summer Minver!

11:19 am

kje

they do a lot of geri there... that helps, b/c they learn good multidisciplinary care and how important all the extra things are like communication and continuity... many interns ta this point just want to diagnose and write a Rx and forget that it is all the other stuff that truly determines how a patient does

11:20 am

redturtlehead

Ha, they want to be Emergency Docs!

11:20 am

kje

red - I have a bad RN story

11:21 am

redturtlehead

Oh no, not about me?

11:21 am

sciencegeek

tell....

11:21 am

kje

of course not!

11:21 am

kje

we went in to see a patient, mid-30s, has been delirious for weeks, always trying to get up but would fall immediately - is on 1:1 sitter

11:21 am

redturtlehead

we had hold all last week and I vainly attempted to be a floor nurse...ick.

11:21 am

redturtlehead

oh no.

11:22 am

kje

so we walk into the room, and he has leg restarints on and trying to get out of bed....

11:22 am

kje

can you see the problem with that?

11:22 am

sciencegeek

no arm restraints?

11:22 am

kje

just leg restraints, climbing over a rail....

11:22 am

redturtlehead

I can see many problems with this. where firstly is the sitter?

11:22 am

jesdraggon

just leg restraints?

11:23 am

sciencegeek

did he tear anything?

11:23 am

kje

see - this is not rocket science... everyone can see what would happen

11:23 am

redturtlehead

Why did she decide to choose leg restraints?

11:23 am

sciencegeek

lol - I do have some experience with patients!

11:23 am

Mojo1158

Cindi!

11:23 am

kje

I undid the restraints, redirected him to stay in bed, and spoke with the sitter about why that was not a good idea and she said she had not restrained him

11:24 am

jesdraggon

so how did someone else get in and restrain him, if she was supposed to be watching him?

11:24 am

sciencegeek

mojo = mildred?

11:25 am

sciencegeek

I bet he put those leg restrains on by himself! rofl

11:25 am

redturtlehead

the nurse probably restrained him and let the sitter then struggle to keep the pt in bed.

11:25 am

jesdraggon

seems like that's something you'd notice, someone coming in and messing with your patients.

11:25 am

Mojo1158

Indeed...mo=mom jo=johnson

11:25 am

kje

so I go to talk with the charge nurse just to explain our goal of no restraints and redirection instead... and also explain why leg restraints alone, if restraints are truly needed, are not a good idea as he will still attempt to get up, but will land on hishead without legs.... onlt to find out that SHE was the one who had done that

11:25 am

kje

the charge!!!

11:25 am

redturtlehead

sitters dont really have patients, they just sit....

11:25 am

jesdraggon

ah

11:26 am

redturtlehead

kje, did she have a high ammonia level? the charge that is? I mean, you dont use legs with otu arms.

11:27 am

sciencegeek

mojo - pay the $14 and get pro

11:27 am

kje

no, the sitter was happy to have the ongoing discussion with a delirious guy wanting to meet her "at the bar in the hall" for a beer ... she was good about getting his mind on something else like the TV

11:27 am

redturtlehead

going pro is worth it.

11:27 am

dcseain

whew. i spent the last 2h making a large amount of gazpacho, thinking i had to leave the house at 13. i don't have to leave til 14:30 :D

11:27 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the su6 ?

11:27 am

dcseain

hi, kje and red and jes :) and ouwachita

11:27 am

Ouwachita

got it...nevermind

11:28 am

redturtlehead

LOL kje, I took care of a drunk very drunk girl the other day who of course had to go to the bathroom, so I gave her a bedpan and then she said, "Well can we still hang out later?" I'm like, uh no no we can not.

11:28 am

redturtlehead

hi DC< I want some Gazpacho.

11:28 am

kje

I KNOW red!!! I was shocked... I thought it was one of the less experienced nurses and that is why I went to talk to her, so she could train them.... she defended it saying she had only done it b/c she was sitting there at the time. I explained it STILL should not be done - you turn your back for a sec, he goes over and lands on head

11:28 am

kje

LOLOL red!

11:28 am

dcseain

tom refers to his drunk patients as psych patients

11:29 am

redturtlehead

Well, kje, if she was sitting there the whole time, the pt needed NO retraints.

11:29 am

kje

he is not drunk.... slow clearing delirium, has been here for almost a month, likely wernickes

11:29 am

kje

excellent point, red

11:29 am

redturtlehead

no no, my drunk. was drunk, your guy was having delerium, different.

11:29 am

redturtlehead

though in my area, we tend to use them more frequently than elsewhere.

11:30 am

kje

i know he is persistent and a pita... but he is redirectable, and kind of amusing if you can tolerate it

11:30 am

jesdraggon

well that means you have an hour to hang out with us, right, dc?

11:30 am

dcseain

i keep finding tons of French words and members of my dad's family today, which doesn't help.

11:30 am

dcseain

indeed jes :)

11:31 am

redturtlehead

Did you talk to someone about the Charge KJE? I hope it was brought to the attention of the Manager of the unit, that is insane.

11:31 am

dcseain

well, one great-aunt's name is accepted

11:31 am

sciencegeek

the p's are a bugger

11:31 am

kje

i immediately saw ur6, likely b/c i am on the wards... will start looking for the frenchies

11:31 am

dcseain

hi, science -s noted

11:31 am

redturtlehead

DC, can you trouble shoot a computer issue for me for a second?

11:31 am

dcseain

oh, the frenchies are there, but thus far mostly not valid

11:31 am

dcseain

i'll try red :)

11:32 am

kje

ah! you misled me, dc - LOL

11:33 am

dcseain

meaning your use of ur6 in the chat? or was that red. eh, whatever.

Hello again...

11:33 am

redturtlehead

I have a MacBook pro and have an older ipod shuffle and also an ipod mini. When I plug them into the USB port they are not picked up by the computer at all.... once in a while they do pick up and charge and stuff, but not often...I tried compressed air, and still no good, what is going on?

11:33 am

kje

hi jellen! is tim going to get to break out today?

11:33 am

redturtlehead

I did not use the Ur word in Chat. I swear.

11:34 am

dcseain

you probably need a new cord to connect the ipods to the mac - that was the problem tom was having with his ipod and iphone and the macbook, and new cable fixed it

11:34 am

kje

ty SG

11:34 am

Jellen

No, at least one more day...creatnine level is high

11:34 am

dcseain

hi, jellen

11:34 am

dcseain

ty SG

11:34 am

kje

ah, can happen when the calcium gets high

11:34 am

raelite

red: you might want to get a new usb cord, I did and mine now works perfectly

11:34 am

kje

should be OK with lots of fluids

11:34 am

Jellen

Hi, dc and red...

11:35 am

dcseain

ty rae, for the confirmation :)

11:35 am

jesdraggon

suri is TOO a word. it's a type of alpaca.

11:35 am

11:35 am

redturtlehead

arrrugh, you know the shuffle charges from a base attached to the USB.

11:35 am

kje

good, all that peeing is what he needs! LOL

11:35 am

redturtlehead

Well, I am taking it to the genius bar in a few hours.

11:35 am

dcseain

jes, have you read the jillibus' take on the ENABLE dictionary? If not, check out her profile

11:35 am

Jellen

Any magic cures for hiccups...this is the second day of them...causing pain now...

11:36 am

kje

love the genius bar

11:36 am

kje

yes... thorazine

11:36 am

jesdraggon

i haven't, dc

11:36 am

raelite

I've found the cords are not the greatest quality, my first one split into three pieces within a month

11:36 am

dcseain

i drink water upside down, jellen

11:36 am

redturtlehead

I do not like to drive all the way to Orlando for something that should work. THe shuffle is brand new, 2 weeks old!

11:36 am

jesdraggon

put a spoonful of sugar under your tongue and let it dissolve, jellen?

11:36 am

dcseain

new cable for connecting with it?

11:37 am

kje

hiccups for 2 days usually has a trigger and not usually responsive to those tricks, ask the doc to try a dose of thorazine

11:37 am

redturtlehead

It's a sticky little issue, they no longer make this shuffle, but the new one they made with the controls on the headhones tends to short out with sweat.

11:37 am

sciencegeek

11:37 am

sciencegeek

too bad it wont take it

11:38 am

jesdraggon

but if it's been going that long, you might wanna call adoctor about it.... that's a long time.

11:38 am

Jellen

Thorazine hasn't worked...

11:38 am

jesdraggon

yeah, what kje said ;)

11:38 am

redturtlehead

poulet is not a word.

11:38 am

redturtlehead

in the grid that is.

11:39 am

redturtlehead

Thanks DC, I am going to hope the genius is really a genius tonight...

11:39 am

Jellen

Actually, nurse just said doc wrote a new order for something...

11:39 am

kje

then narcotics for the pain, and hopefully once the calcium and kidneys and other lytes have corrected, he will stop

11:39 am

kje

but I would still give a couple days of thorazine

11:39 am

redturtlehead

pleth is in the grid but also not recognized...

11:39 am

Mojo1158

along with Freuds symbol replace the P with T and get a plant part!

11:40 am

the art of grabbing free wireless signals off of someone elses wireless internet router

11:50 am

11:51 am

you end up hanging around hotel parking lots and starbuck,s coffee shops lol

11:51 am

sciencegeek

dont see it dc

11:51 am

jesdraggon

my nearest neighbor (with power) is nearly half a mile off.

11:51 am

dcseain

and someone in the area have an unsecured or easily hackable router

11:51 am

jesdraggon

and i live in a town with no starbucks :P

11:51 am

jesdraggon

(yes, that IS possible)

11:52 am

dcseain

ro8 - anagram of not sweet + ends in not early

11:53 am

no starbucks is no loss, IMHO

11:53 am

i used to have a default list of all the factory passwords for all the main router labels....

11:53 am

ty dc

11:53 am

jesdraggon

not a problem for me, either, dc...but seems like anymore the concept of a place in the US without one is shocking to people ;)

11:53 am

i do not drink their coffee..who can afford it anyways?

11:54 am

jesdraggon

we do have a couple of drive-through espresso places.

11:54 am

44 left and I need a break bbl

11:54 am

dcseain

i think their coffee tastes burnt.

11:54 am

Jellen

Thanks for ro8

11:54 am

jesdraggon

but the closest starbucks is a good 50 mile drive away.

11:55 am

jesdraggon

i agree, dc. but i don't much like coffee to start with--i drown it in chocolate so you can't taste the coffee

11:56 am

dcseain

i like mochas, too, but i think Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds to nicer mochas than Starbucks

11:56 am

jesdraggon

much as i hate to admit that McD's does anything reasonably well, i do drink their mochas occasionally.

11:57 am

dcseain

i'm not a fan of mcdonalds, but their mccafe coffee drinks are quite good.

11:57 am

Jellen

I tasted McD's latte w/o flavor and it was yucky...

11:57 am

my primary source of caffeine is the espresso stand next door to the clinic... hard to argue with being right there ;)

5:38 pm

Hi Stidgmere

7:53 pm

stidmama

good for you. I am a bit under the weather, so pretty much did nothing but study (and babble) and rest today.

7:53 pm

stidmama

Expect to be back in form tomorrow.

7:53 pm

stidgmere

What did the menfolk do?

7:53 pm

stidmama

the grid today is not very friendly.

7:53 pm

stidmama

tom washed cars, mowed the lawn.

7:54 pm

stidmama

stidkid#2 has "hung out" and read most of the day.

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

grid is a bit stingy and mean.

7:54 pm

stidmama

stidkid#1 had a difficult day, but is at his friend's 18th bday party this evening so hopefully will be in a better frame of mind tomorrow.

7:55 pm

pam

hi, stidgmere

7:55 pm

stidgmere

Good. Tomorrow should be a bit noisy, but as I count the neighbors, not many do fireworks anymore.

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

stidM, I wish I could share with you some of the lavendar bubble bath I got tonight, it is running now and smells really lovely.

7:56 pm

stidmama

yep. tomorrow I am going to make tamales -- thought it would be a nice way to stay home and experiment with cooking.

7:56 pm

stidmama

mmmmm. bubble ba4 *floats away*

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

pam

Or should I say, buying it

8:28 pm

harpjane

i'm not well versed in tongue abnormalities.....

8:28 pm

rururocks

not really.. the really well run small estates are usually a really good deal

8:29 pm

rururocks

some bordeaux is really expensive.

8:29 pm

pam

But, I am not sure of those estates! Just started really reading and paying attention a few months ago as I really used to just drink chianti if i drank red!

8:30 pm

pam

you got me onto the cote du rhone and garnacha!

8:30 pm

rururocks

I bought futures on the 2000's and they are all worth a ton more than what I paid for them

pam

That's so excellent, ruru

8:30 pm

pam

I hope my pal does well, too

8:30 pm

rururocks

8:31 pm

pam

I am glad about the prices coming down

8:32 pm

pam

COOOL!

8:32 pm

pam

More reds to play with

8:32 pm

rururocks

Beaujolais is what you make Sangria with by the way

8:32 pm

pam

I am sticking to albarino and riesling for whites

8:33 pm

pam

Yes, and you told me not to spend on the sangria wine i buy

8:33 pm

rururocks

the 2009 Burgundies are going to be priced out of existacne

Hello all.

9:53 pm

Jellen

Hi, jilli!

9:56 pm

jillibus

Well, I scrolled back and found the question, but too late, I guess.

9:56 pm

jillibus

I have 43 left and need to get dinner. Back later.

9:57 pm

jillibus

Thanks for the hi, jellen.

9:57 pm

Jellen

Well the original inquirer is gone, but I find the information interesting...

9:57 pm

Jellen

See you later...

9:58 pm

gremlinn

I would guess it started on that Sep. 30 then.

9:58 pm

gremlinn

Only 7 people played, so it couldn't have been around that long if it wasn't the first day.

Also notable on that day, Dr. God says he switched the dictionary from the OSPD to Enable (to include words over 8 letters long).

10:01 pm

Dr. God blessed Enable!

He didn't have many choices ..

10:04 pm

Jellen

I imagine that's true...

10:08 pm

torgone

I think the Doc favors simplicity and ENABLE is a fairly well recognized standard ..

10:09 pm

torgone

Even though we curse it almost daily ..

10:10 pm

Jellen

Do you happen to know when some of the rumored changes will come to the site?

10:11 pm

Jellen

And, I think, Enable is in the public domain...

10:14 pm

torgone

That's a good point about the public domain .. Don't have to mess with copyrights ..

10:14 pm

Jellen

Or paying for it...

10:14 pm

Changes are coming soon, from what I can tell ..

I went through the clinical trial routine with my dad's leukemia. It turned out amazingly well. Now that drug is the protocol of choice. So clinical trials can really pay off.

11:13 pm

The specialist in St. Louis was very positive about this trial...

11:13 pm

The ea/6 does extend the ea/4 in form, but not in meaning. It sounds like a covering for the hearing organ, minus one letter.

This grid took hours of la6/27.But I fulfilled my oa4/5 to finish. I le 5/12 into the grid this morning and did not enter my fi5/16 word until 10:48 thanks to Jellen It was a grid from he 4/5, but I did le 5/10 some new words. Now I can do my story of clues. My nieces are visiting for their an6/21 visit. I had a pl4/5 for them while they are here. I made it clear th 4/4 although I wanted them to have fun, they had to follow all of my ru 4/5s. They had a choice of going to see a ba 6/24 or going to a pool party. Of course nieces wanted to go to the pool party and they had a ba4/6. Nieces ba 5/16ed so much, they did not even have to take a ba 4/6 tonight.They got to ride a mini bo4/6 in the pool They played other pool games. All their pa 4/5 skin is now nice and tan.When they were finished swimming they played ta 5/14. It was hard to te 4/4 my nieces away from this party when it was time to go. I could te 4/4 th 4/5 they did not want to leave. Now that I did story of clues, I believe I have ea4/4ed the right to go to bed. Not a so 4/5 is awake now. It is very la 4/4 & time for me to ha4/5 my babbling for the night I can he 4/5 the sound of my pillows.I hope I was able to he 4/5 some of you out. By the way, this isn't a ta 4/4 ta4/4, it is true.

I sue morewords because I'm impatient, and most of the words I find there are ones I've mever seen before and never hope to see again. But I like to clue and it helps me do so. Some people call it cheating, but I disagree. We are not in a race.

jillibus

*I use, not sue!

m9f9l

the cluing is fun!

Wise words, but it still hurts to feel so rootless. Hard for people who still live in their native lands to understand.

We have boxes and boxes of family photos, but most are unidentified...
