MLFAN17

i second htat Une

12:31 am

pugmama763

one of my very favorite shows

12:31 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is because there was a scene in one show where someone is doing a crossword puzzle. The person says "The clue is 'Crater creator'" and Garcia, the geek girl, replies "Arctangent" The person is amazed at Garcia's cleverness

12:31 am

Uneaixoise

saw him in Evita on Broadway back in the '80s, as Che

12:31 am

Pinikula

Garcia must BABBLE!!! LOL

VolleymomDee

Douglas - What was the arctangent clue again? Something creator? I'll ask people smarter than I am about it!

1:48 am

makes my stomach hurt thinking about that... how awful for him and for all the people who witnessed it

1:48 am

crater creator?

1:52 am

cbr - The clue was "Crator creator" and the answer was "arctangent" The mystery to me is why

ru, do you know what dog goggles are called?

1:53 am

1:53 am

"Doggles"...

1:54 am

awww....

1:54 am

(groan)

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

not even joking... petsmart sells them...

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

every "fashion conscious" dog needs them (according to their ads)

1:54 am

rururocks

someone came up to me on the weekend with the ugliest dog I have seen in a while

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

what kind

1:55 am

jillibus

I just googled "arctangent crater creator" and there's a whole lot of puzzlement going on about it...

1:55 am

rururocks

they called it a Puggle.. a beagle/pug cross

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

can't begin to imagine what that looked like

1:55 am

rururocks

I like pugs a lot.. they are cute.. but this thing was hideous

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

wonder how healthy it is

1:56 am

jillibus

those purposely mixed breeds are horrendous

1:56 am

Douglas

I'm feeling a little better about my bewilderment...Tyler Hinman didn't get it either

1:56 am

rururocks

they were offended when I told them it wasn't a breed, but that it was a mutt

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

I agree about the mutt classification

1:57 am

m9f9l

this is the best answer I found at a forum: No - Idon't think you're the only person not to get that answer. In a crater, the slope of the side of the crater is simply the arc-tangent of the height difference divided by the horizontal distance. Not sure if that's what the writers were going for - but seeing as Reid has degrees in that area - maybe the writers looked for something obscure. It looked like Reid was about to answer when Penelope did and surprised him.

*claps hands over her "springboards" ears*

2:03 am

jillibus

everyone's does, m9

2:03 am

rururocks

so you measure across and down the crater to see which distance is greater which sooner or later will lead to a satyr?

2:03 am

m9f9l

I'm wondering if it has to do with computer modeling for animation...?

2:04 am

m9f9l

the arctangent..not the chog hiccups

2:05 am

rururocks

I wonder if the arch tangent has anything to do with McDonald's?

2:06 am

rururocks

... just a theory...

2:07 am

<---- will shut up again

2:07 am

jillibus

dear silly ruru

2:11 am

jillibus

taking a short break...

2:13 am

m9f9l

I believe the arctangent has to do with the Busk method of drawing craters (fold cross section) in geology.

2:13 am

m9f9l

...just a theory...

2:17 am

Douglas

Can you give a link to your theory, m9?

2:21 am

m9f9l

http://tinyurl.com/26mtzar although that is VERY obscure. I think the simple solution is usually correct, and concur with the earlier theory. The arctangent describes a "dip" as opposed to a "bump". just the kind of thing a trig student would use to remember the diff.

I have a nice balance -- 197/97. Not as clever as the others, but ok.

2:33 am

Douglas

Oh...if they meant "arc tangent" as in "an arc tangent to two lines" as opposed to "the trigonometric function" that would make a little more sense

2:34 am

5:11 am

that is like saying I won't love anyone or anything anymore because I don't want to get hurt.

5:11 am

5:15 am

Kallia

we are burying her this evening

5:15 am

sprite

yeah, for me it always takes some time before I really start feeling hurt. At first it is just empty and numb.

5:19 am

sprite

I think it is good you can bury her yourself. Tough to do, but good for... well you know, for how it will feel.

5:21 am

Kallia

yes I know, because she couldn't clean herself Alex washed and groomed her when we brought her home, that made him feel better, he said he couldn't let her go looking like she did, she was always an immaculate kitty

5:21 am

Kallia

sorry if I go on too much

5:22 am

aw that is so sweet. No, you don't go on too much, talk about her as much as you like. It is wonderful she is perfectly clean again.

sounds like a great job Uni

6:00 am

I have a bachelor of arts! :) I love proving it not useless.

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Bachelor of arts here means a lot what speciality? and how is your kitty?

6:02 am

Uniquity

North America doesn't take Arts seriously at all. It's the degree that entitles you to serve fries. My major is in English...which is about the 'worst' thing you can do, or so the theory goes. I loved it. Kitty is well. Hot around here so she mopes around a lot.

Douglas, if you are around, I have your arctangent answer!

8:56 am

Dorens

oh this is exciting... one of my very favorite words is the he8/9. I had read that word so many times in English books that when I first went to England, and was driving straight to Salisbury, and first saw them I got all excited when I saw them and nearly drove off the road (those and thatched roofs)

8:56 am

Jacula

Annie - I fully sympathise. Know how it feels.

8:57 am

Haz1558

Hopefully you'll get back into your normal pattern soon, Annie.

10:52 am

Uneaixoise

10:52 am

Mom

10:53 am

Haz1558

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

10:53 am

10:57 am

Aloyisius

10:57 am

Mom

thanks Crossy

10:57 am

Uneaixoise

11:00 am

crosshair

crossy loves bunnies....

11:00 am

Uneaixoise

meee toooo!!

11:00 am

Aloyisius

lol, Une.. how can you tell them apart?

11:00 am

Uneaixoise

they're kinda interchangeable, aloy :-)

11:00 am

Dorens

we haven't had much here either, so I should be grateful... just prefer walking around the city on non rain days

11:01 am

Uneaixoise

I've left a big brush pile in the back corner of my yard and it's bunny heaven!

11:01 am

Aloyisius

they really enjoy our plot of tall grasses

11:02 am

Dorens

my yard seems to be bunny heaven too.. but worse are my groundhogs... i detest them

11:02 am

Judi

Trade ya for some skunks, Dorens.

11:03 am

Aloyisius

Dorens, we have an overpopulation of them.. and they can be destructive, but .. I admit to thinking they are "cute"

11:03 am

inge

d

11:03 am

Dorens

sooo destructive, though. things i work hard and plant... and they just mow them down. and liquid fence seems to work for the deer, but not the groundhogs

11:04 am

Aloyisius

one year they destroyed our green beans .. and when one reared on its hind feet and growled at my husband, he turned into Elmer Fudd.. blam, blam

11:04 am

Dorens

i see skunks on my patio at night sometimes, but they haven't destroyed anything (that i know of)

11:05 am

Dorens

they really believe that they belong here. I used to trap them in hav-a-heart traps and transport them far away... but they just get replaced with others.

11:06 am

Judi

Fortunately, no skunks this year. We have dogs, cats and foxes to keep the varmint population to a minimum.

11:06 am

Aloyisius

in Fla. we have a prob. with armadillos digging up everything, looking for grubs.. I was informed that if I want to trap them, on my own property, I need a license to trap and transport wildlife.. ugh

11:07 am

Aloyisius

Judi, that is the problem.. the balance is upset.. no cats or dogs.. and so ..

11:07 am

Dorens

see, and i think armadillos are cute

11:09 am

Aloyisius

cute? h'mmm.. I don't see them as they are nocturnal, but I sure see the evidence of their hunt for food

11:10 am

crosshair

each area has their own pests it seems,we are getting black bears in town again..try trapping those lol!

11:10 am

Aloyisius

... and they make huge burrows at the base of cabbage palms

11:10 am

Aloyisius

wow crossy..

11:10 am

Dorens

no thanks crossy, when i see them in my yard i go inside and get the camera. and stay inside!

11:12 am

Judi

Have you tried sprinkling a bunch of garlic powder around the plants, Aloy?

11:13 am

flosey

oh, Judi, is that something that rabbits don't like?

11:13 am

crosshair

mm,pre seasoned rabbits;))))

11:13 am

Aloyisius

not yet, Judi.. I did do some research on the net tho.. seems that human urine is a repellent..

11:13 am

Judi

I don't think most wild animals like garlic. Vicks Vap-o-rub is supposed to deter them as well.

11:14 am

flosey

our Island has become home to far too many rabbits - they're destroying many gardens

11:14 am

Barb's Horses

Hi all ...just a quick look before running out with mom

11:15 am

Aloyisius

hi Barb's.. a biggee today

11:15 am

crosshair

when we lived up north more,we used to plant a seprate garden just for the wildlife,fill a big grid with lots of leafy romaine far from our gargen

11:15 am

ch1212

(hi all) We had a mole problem earlier, and we planted garlic near their burrows. The first mole literally tossed the garlic plant two feet away from the hole! But after a few days they left our yard.

11:15 am

Judi

Get a few cats, Aloy.

11:15 am

flosey

aha, I do have a jar of vicks - will try that - perhaps soak a cloth in it

11:15 am

flosey

hi Barb

11:16 am

Uneaixoise

wow, cool tip re planting garlic!

11:17 am

Aloyisius

Judi, I miss having pets so much, but need to "rent a cat" until we are settled in one place.. don't want to leave them or transport them long distances, too cruel methinks

11:17 am

Judi

Or just smoosh some on some fallen leaves, Flosey, and leave them near the plants.

11:17 am

Aloyisius

good news, ch1212 ! we have moles too..

11:18 am

Judi

Moles are attracted to grubs. If you get rid of your grubs, you'll get rid of the moles.

11:18 am

flosey

good idea Judi, will try it - we have several gardens, (hubby retired and became a farmer) vegetables and fruit only

11:20 am

Erda

I can't get the second PR 8 -- I am sure it's something simple -- help??

11:21 am

Aloyisius

the prefix for "before" + name of the tippy tap code

11:21 am

Aloyisius

dot dit dot dot dit dit... over long distances

11:21 am

Barb's Horses

good clue aloyisius...thanks

11:21 am

ch1212

Yes, I think it means to feel bad about something you did BEFORE you feel bad about something you did ;)

11:22 am

Barb's Horses

bye all

11:22 am

Erda

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

11:22 am

Haz1558

Jambo, jmc. How's the African experience going?

12:10 pm

flosey

stuck on sp6, 7, 8, 7 _ am hoping they're related!

12:11 pm

Haz1558

They are, flosey, build on the church feature.

12:11 pm

flosey

thanks, will work on that

12:11 pm

Good Enough

oh i thought she was talking about repelling bugs

12:12 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, new words for me.

12:12 pm

Good Enough

i'll have to work on those too

12:12 pm

jmcnrick

it has been strange -- sometimes very primitive other times very elegant

12:13 pm

Haz1558

I know, quite a mixture of styles. But you're enjoying yourself for the most part? And I love the giraffe!

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

ty I was proud of myself -- felt like ata couldn't have done better!

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

I am having a great time except for the food -- not the place for a low carb diet!

12:14 pm

Rhondabe

anybody have a clue please for se5 ..16? I have the se5 16 that is a marsh plant!

12:14 pm

Haz1558

You're right to be smug, it's a great photo. They are such beautiful creatures.

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

I have another of a cheetah that I will post tomorrow

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Make the marsh plant have a sometimes vowel ending.

12:15 pm

Haz1558

You've been on safari, I take it?

12:15 pm

Minveryork

se 5/16:very tired without the stick letter Rhondabe

12:15 pm

Good Enough

rhymes with the bushes rhonda

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

yes saw the "Big Five" (she says like she knows what she is talking about) all in one day

12:16 pm

Haz1558

Or, se5/16 - rhymes with the state you're in when you watch a sad film (ends in sometimes vowel)

12:16 pm

Haz1558

That's some going, jmc. We never managed to see a leopard.

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

it was really really hard to see

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

we knew it was there (we could see the bush mover) but couldn't see it until it turned its head

12:17 pm

flosey

thanks Haz, those sp words sure are strange

12:17 pm

Haz1558

They're masters of disguise....

12:17 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, flosey.

12:17 pm

Rhondabe

Thank you., Thank you

Haz1558

You're welcome, Rhonda.

Massai Mara

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

hi, jmc!!!!! nice to see you

12:20 pm

hi ruby!

12:20 pm

Haz1558

Hello, ruby.

12:20 pm

flosey

morning ruby

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

I am settled down with internet connection until I head for home

12:20 pm

Haz1558

Yes, we were there in August a few years ago. It's impossible to take in the numbers and I was amazed by the hordes of zebra as well.

12:20 pm

flosey

bbs, have to go out and find hubby

12:21 pm

Haz1558

Bye, flosey.

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

we spent a half hour just looking at zebra stripes

12:21 pm

flosey

he no longer hears me when I call - doesn't even hear the bell

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

bye flosey

12:21 pm

Haz1558

And no two the same, or so they say.

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

*hands flosey some binocs to search for hubby*

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

that is exactly why we spent so much time looking at them

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

we used flashing lights when my husband went deaf flosey

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful, jmc! when I went to SA on biz trips, as I was a minor player, they took me to very shabby game preserves and I never saw much. Never once saw an elephant!

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

I think Kenya and Tanzania are the better countries for such things

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

too bad ruby

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

I'm sure they are, but my biz was all in SA

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

and there's no wildlife here

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

lucky for me then that the quakers did their missionary work in Kenya!

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

yes indeed!

12:27 pm

BTW, I saw a lot of zebra and could look at them forever!

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

hi m9

12:28 pm

jmcnrick

i lover looking at zebra too!

12:28 pm

JBV

hi, babble friends - nice to hear from you jmc!

12:28 pm

jmcnrick

hi jbv

12:28 pm

JBV

ruby, I was thinking of you recently - how close are you from the Italian border?

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

less than an hour, via the Mt. Blanc tunnel

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

are you coming to Italy?

12:29 pm

JBV

I've been exchanging emails/photos with a cousin of mine who lives near Torino and I've been looking at maps and dreaming of being over there

12:30 pm

JBV

nothing planned right now, ruby

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

when my son was here in May, we drove him and his wife to Chambery from which they took a train to Torino, less than 3 hrs!!!

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

we used to go to Aosta for lunch when we had visitors, 1 hr. 40 mins. , but I don't feel like it any more

12:31 pm

Haz1558

Have you been to Italy before, JBV?

12:32 pm

JBV

Haz, i can barely contain myself with this story - some details in my profile - but I am reconnecting with family I haven't seen in 36 years!

12:33 pm

JBV

When I was a young teacher (in the 70's) I used to spend two months every summer in Europe - mostly Spain, but two trips to ITaly, and some time in Paris

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

*pulls up stool and pours coffee to listen to jbv*

12:33 pm

JBV

please check my profile for background

12:34 pm

JBV

but the up-to-the-minute scoop is that the emails and photos are flying back and forth and we are catching up on children, granchildren, etc. - amazing!

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

that is wonderful, jbv!

12:34 pm

JBV

we even Skyped!

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

very cool!

12:34 pm

Haz1558

It sounds to me like you have very valid reasons for travel - education, family, pleasure.

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

it is so easy to lose our roots and so much fun to find them again!

12:35 pm

JBV

If it were up to me, I'd be on a plane tomorrow, but planning long-distance travel with my husband will require some thinking .. because of his medical needs

12:36 pm

Haz1558

Oh, of course - he must take priority.

12:37 pm

JBV

and I don't think they have the means to contemplate a trip to the U.S., so it's email for now, but we're both enjoying it

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

I hope you are making a family tree, including all the detail you can

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

that is one of the good things about the internet is the ability to connect regardless of distance

12:38 pm

Haz1558

Maybe some day your dreams will become reality.

12:38 pm

JBV

I can't believe you said that, ruby, that's exactly what we're working on right now!

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

great minds. . . .

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

a relative of my nephew's wife in London traced her whole family to eastern Europe and, last spring, made a trip and tracked down every single one of her relatives, living and dead (photographed all their graves)

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

And she's in her 70's!!!!

12:39 pm

JBV

and I think the timing was so perfect - the first phone call came on my very last day of work before retirement -

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

she lives in California and used the Mormon archives for help

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

good timing!

12:40 pm

Haz1558

Family research can be fun but incredibly time-consuming.

12:40 pm

JBV

So I have plenty of time to spend on this correspondence because of course, it's all in Italian (a challenge for my little grey cells!)

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

my sister started to work out our family tree and all that, but lost interest half-way through the project! It takes a lot of fortitude!

12:41 pm

crosshair

lol twilight is just like soccer; they run around for 2 hours,nobody scores and billions of fans say "you just do not understand" :))

12:41 pm

JBV

I've heard of the Mormon family archives

12:41 pm

m9f9l

that's awesome JBV. I work in the LDS family history center in our town.

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

hello crossy -- huh???

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

i poke at it from time to time

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

do you really, M9

12:42 pm

m9f9l

there's no such thing as "half-way through the project" when it comes to family history!LOL

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

crossy!

12:42 pm

m9f9l

yes.

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

you don't know my sister!!!!

12:42 pm

JBV

fascinating, m9 - would the LDS archives have immigration records to Ellis Island around 1905?

12:42 pm

m9f9l

crossy...I LOVE it!!!

12:43 pm

m9f9l

Ellis island archives are on ancestry. a lot of them

not everyone went through ellis also. I have a copy of the passenger list of my grandfather coing to america in 1903

12:44 pm

JBV

oh, thanks, I may try that, if necessary. At the moment, I'm only interested in going back as far as my father's father - and we have some living relatives who can help

Not so easy to trace her further back.

12:47 pm

m9f9l

my grandfather's manifest said that he was going to stay with a friend Albert Stickman. then in later censuses Albert is living nearby and is also the witness at Grandfather's wedding. It's neat to see these little glimpses.

what I was lucky about is that my beautiful grandmother, before she died, gave me all of her old photographs from Russia and told me who each one was and I wrote all the info on the backs. I was the only one of her many many grandchildren she was close to

12:53 pm

m9f9l

12:53 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

12:53 pm

My major geneology problems is that Jews didn't always register births

jmcnrick

really bichon? not even at a temple?

12:55 pm

jmcnrick

help with the e on the bottom?

12:55 pm

bichon

there aren't any temples left in Bukovena. I don't think written records were big among Eastern European Jewery.

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

that's interesting, bichon. I didn't know that. But somehow, the Mormons find records of so many Jews who perished in the war. I've always wondered how....

12:55 pm

Haz1558

12:55 pm

every now and then, we would find a photo of a baby and my grandmother would say "They all look alike, except for your father who was so beautiful, that the midwife kissed him!"

12:56 pm

bichon

I don't know ruby. I do have information which was given to me by older folk in the family that was handed down orally. But, it's hazy.

12:56 pm

Haz1558

5:09 pm

Soodle

Lmao. Chubby grid!!

5:10 pm

Nancy Boy

Sure, grids like this are chubby, the 400+ are verging on the morbidly obese, around the 100 mark is slender and less than 50 is just attention-seeking thinness ;)

5:12 pm

jesdraggon

hah. beautiful analogy, nb

5:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Chubby grids are fun but I never feel like trying to finish- just browse around

5:12 pm

well, chubby, not morbidly obese anymore, working on the rest!!

5:12 pm

I love it Nancy. I will look at Babble with new eyes after that description.....

Attention seeking thinness- good phrase

TnC--I have been hearing mothers say that to me in the office this past wk.

6:04 pm

Crackers is just a little butt!

6:04 pm

TeaNCrackers, what's going on? Back in school and we still have over a month of glorious vacation.

6:04 pm

TeaNCrackers

He is so defiant and weepy right now

6:04 pm

stidgmere

Yes, paid trumpet playing in the pit orchestra.

6:05 pm

TeaNCrackers

I think he is a bit sick, so I amt rying to be understanding, but I am at my wit's end and he's been home for 15 minutes!

6:05 pm

Kids miss their schools and friends. It is true.

6:05 pm

Nice stid family, not so nice about crackers.

6:05 pm

Scrabbler

Is he hot? Tired? Hungry?

6:05 pm

stidmama

oh tea... *gentle hugs* they do that at that age. What can you do for yourself to give some time (5 minutes) to recollect your center?

6:05 pm

Scrabbler

Give him a hug, tell him you love him, give him a drink + snack.

6:05 pm

TeaNCrackers

Tea ont he other hand is a gem and I feel bad that she bears the brunt of a lot of his misbehavior, I spend all of my time on him

6:05 pm

6:06 pm

6:07 pm

TeaNCrackers

oh no, lynx, he's going to be a perfect man - all whiny and crabby when he is sick

6:07 pm

stidmama

we deal with that sort of situation at our home too tea... the "quiet" kid syndrome. BUT you know it is happening, so you will make sure she doesn't get lost.

6:07 pm

Scrabbler

Young kids often have difficulty understanding + describing why they don't feel well, or why they are crying, etc

6:08 pm

stidmama

rofl tea! (but I am very whiny and helpless when I am ill, too....)

6:09 pm

TeaNCrackers

Wondering about this grid: re7/32 is being sorry after the fact. Is pr8/50 feeling sorry before you do something wrong? Isn't that premeditation?

Can I admit that I am feeling very childish. I have been plannign to run a 5K tomorrow and I dont want to go because I am afraid I may finish very close to last. In fact, I probably will...still...

7:10 pm

Pinikula

you can admit, red...

7:11 pm

Jellen

It's not bad, red...

7:11 pm

Pinikula

consider finding "running" with someone you meet while waiting for the gun...

7:12 pm

Pinikula

...company can make it easier to accomplish...just a thought.

7:12 pm

redturtlehead

It's hard to be slow. people always think that finishing i some big accomplishment for slow people, but it is just finishing. I am glad however, that my achilles is attached.

7:12 pm

redturtlehead

oh the distance is not an issue, its 3 miles. Its more that I am not as fast as I used to be.

7:12 pm

Pinikula

gads, my word skills sucked in that last comment

7:13 pm

redturtlehead

I think we got it though Pinik! we are good at translating.

7:13 pm

Pinikula

what makes you think there won't be others there who have the same thinking you do? you might surprise yourself and do better than you actually think you'll do!

7:13 pm

wildcat17

I think it's a big accomplishment to finish such a thing because I can't run like that. I think it's awesome you're planning to run even though you don't think you're fast

7:13 pm

Pinikula

(thx red ;))

7:14 pm

redturtlehead

I always think that but I tend to now end up at the bottom, but I want to do the run because it supposrts a good cause and the t shirt is great, and I need to do a few actual competitive runs.

7:15 pm

redturtlehead

Well, i will be running an hour from my home so perhaps I wont run into people I know...

7:16 pm

Pinikula

focus on the positive part of the run (great cause, you're fit enough to run!); don't dwell on the negative (that you may not do it as fast as you'd like)

7:16 pm

brid

think of all of us who aren't running as finishing behind you. cause we would. totally. very very far.

7:16 pm

Pinikula

in fact, if you continue to think of negatives...consider countering each negative with two positives!!! I have faith in you!!! You can do it!

7:17 pm

brid

so the fact that you're doing it, and running, is pretty amazing. no matter where you end up.

7:17 pm

brid

you may always consider yourself kicking my ass.

7:17 pm

Pinikula

good point, brid...

7:17 pm

brid

you know, if it helps.

7:17 pm

Jellen

Hi, brid

7:17 pm

wildcat17

mine too red ...

7:17 pm

thanks all, I suppose it is all there, but it is a little frustrating. I guess I can admit that I also dont think running 3 miles is much of an accomplishment!

hi red

7:19 pm

wildcat17

I agree with pini about having a positive attitude ... you are, after all, just recovered from an injury and won't this be your first run since that?

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

but thank you all. I hope I can get it together to enjoy it....and remember last year at this time when my achilles was flopping about and making it hard to walk...

7:20 pm

wildcat17

we want to hear all about it tomorrow after you're done

7:20 pm

brid

aw, man, see. and i was impressed with just running the race. before i found back you were coming off of something like that.

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

I'm sure I'll talk all about it...

7:21 pm

wildcat17

you're gonna do just fine. tc and hagn e1

Jellen

Thanks for the clue story, Min...

7:50 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, Minver? I just quit last year, finally, was bloody hard for me and I've been battling it since, had a few relapses but got right back on the wagon after each one! only thing that finally worked for me was Champix, but didn't like the side effects from it, so using the patch and ecigarettes along with sheer willpower and determination!!

7:50 pm

Minveryork

You're welcome Jellen and hi! Not sure if I greeted U.

7:51 pm

car.eeyore

Well done George! Good for you!

7:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

7:51 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Champix works very well for some people though, did for the husband of a friend of mine, he had no trouble quitting on it for good, didn't get the side effect i did either -- everyone's different!

7:52 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ta, car--still fighting it but determined to win!!

7:52 pm

car.eeyore

Hang in there!

Got to get the boys to bed! Good night my friends!

Congrats on quitting George.Since you quit out of sh 5/12 willpower, I will not send you to the Penalty Box.

7:53 pm

Krista

Hi guys...been lurking for a minute, here...may I ask what your side effect was, George? I feel for you, Min. Mine is only on one pack a day, but it's getting old.

7:54 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye car.eeyore! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

7:54 pm

Hi, Krista

7:54 pm

Jellen

Bye, car

7:54 pm

Krista

We call it Chantix here. Hubby has had three RX's for it and never got them fillled. Hey Jellen!

7:56 pm

Minveryork

I was wondering the exact same thing Krista. I want to suggest Champix to my hubby.He probably will not use it though. I have never heard of Champix before.

7:58 pm

Krista

It supposedly really works to kill the cravings. And yes, it only works if they take it, huh. Hopefully George's side effect wasn't too personal to share, lol.

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

Actually Minve, it's Chantix. Side effects are vivid dreams btw. Sure has helped a lot of people I know to quit

thanks you

11:05 pm

Minveryork

With a puzzle this large, I de4/5 it necessary to do a story of clues. I have a me 4/5 23 words left so I'll do my story early. My hubby, whose name is Mi 4/9, is a sm 6/33. He sm 6/33 at least 2 packs a day. Nothing against sm7/48,but I really hate his habit.Hubby had his first cigarette on pr 4/5 night.His date made him try it and he has been addicted ever since then. His addiction has gotten even wo5/18 over the past few years. Hubby's plans to quit have gone aw 4/10 many times. Each time he quit he was always on ed4/7 and was very ed4/9. I was also wa4/10 every time hubby quit because I knew it wouldn't be for long. One time he sw 5/18 he quit, but I sp 5/14 on him one day and saw him lighting up. He accused me of being a sp5/12 and not minding my business.We have gotten into de 4/6 arguments over his bad habit. Sometimes I think he refuses to quit out of sh 5/12 stubborness. I have had nightma4/5s that he had lung cancer. I know he would be filled w/re7/32 if he ever really did get lung cancer. My life would be a me 4/5 if I ever lost him. I pr4/7 everyday that he'll quit pe4/5anently one day. Maybe God will hear my pr 7/40. However, right now it se 5/12 like he cannot be sw 6/39 to quit, but I am se4/5 hopeful. Wish I could sp5/16 a magic potion on him that would make him hate cigarettes. Husband is being an ar 4/4 and wants the computer. It ir4/4 me when he takes the computer away from me. Oh well, my ey4/6 are sore anyway. I hope you we4/8 able to find some mo 4/5 words from my story. Be back later.
