2:47 am

Atalante

decent coffee!

2:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, she seemed to find that a problem.

2:49 am

Atalante

horrid stuff!

2:49 am

Atalante

our local farm shop even has Kenyan coffee flavoured ice cream

2:50 am

Haz1558

Coffee ice-cream is pretty delicious - or can you not bear the flavour at all?

2:50 am

Atalante

I could if it was artificial coffee lol, which kind of defeats the purpose somewhat

2:51 am

Haz1558

Have you tried Carte D'or rum and raisin ice cream? It's so strong, it's poisonous.

2:52 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ha6-36? Thanks

2:52 am

Atalante

JMC about JD: "lol not yet i figure i will get a quick drink before i board at noon"

2:52 am

Atalante

ooo no. I do like good rum and raisin ice cream. I used to make my own using apple liqueur instead of rum

2:53 am

Haz1558

ha6/36 - to rhyme with sh7 - used to chain prisoners

2:54 am

Haz1558

I normally like rum and raisin, but this is incredibly strong.

2:55 am

Atalante

that's not so much fun, you want to taste the ice cream as well as the rum

2:55 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, Haz1558.

2:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, gapeach.

2:56 am

3:06 am

Haz1558

Which is worse. You having fun or the meeting with Tolkien people?

3:07 am

Atalante

3:07 am

Haz1558

3:08 am

Atalante

Very

3:08 am

Atalante

he has a stomach ache, been off work since wednesday

3:08 am

Haz1558

Referred pain from the hangnail?

3:09 am

Atalante

quite probably

3:09 am

Haz1558

He should offer to be a patient for medical students to practise on.

3:10 am

jmcnrick

3:10 am

Atalante

Haz1558

Hello, jmc. Find your gate first!

3:11 am

5:16 am

dizgrannie

hi Ruby

5:16 am

rubyfoo

hi diz grannie

5:17 am

dizgrannie

got 58 left and ground to a halt

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

rubyfoo! How are things?

5:18 am

rubyfoo

hello sally! I brought Burt home this AM and he is pretty shaky but lucid. There is a third bite, this one on his hand, that he thought happened from his fall.

5:19 am

rubyfoo

I made him his Saturday breakfast for lunch and put him to bed and will just hope that he doesn't fall

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

Poor chap. I'm sure he will improve rapidly now he is home.

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

How is his heart.

5:19 am

rubyfoo

seems to be OK and I'm really glad that they kept him overnight!

5:20 am

rubyfoo

the nurse will start coming somorrow to change his dressings every day for 2 weeks

5:20 am

Soodle

Hi everybody. (((Rubes))) I am glad to hear he is doing well.

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

Keeping him overnight was definitely the right thing to do. So you will have to do the grocery shopping by yourself for now!

5:21 am

rubyfoo

hello {{soodle }}

5:21 am

rubyfoo

and everything else! it was amazing doing all his chores this morning; I was out of breath for an hour!

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

You will have a new appreciation of each other :-)

5:23 am

rubyfoo

that's certainly true!

5:23 am

rubyfoo

for a moment, at the hospital, when he passed out, I thought he was dead!

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

If I appear not to be paying attention it's because one of the cats brought in a live field mouse which we are trying to catch. And I have bare feet :-(

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Tuby.

5:24 am

rubyfoo

how cute!

5:24 am

herinfernallady

opps RUby

5:24 am

Soodle

Yach, Sally. Will you try to keep the mouse away from your puter... I would hate it to jump out at me. Lol

5:24 am

rubyfoo

hello herin!

5:25 am

rubyfoo

close enough hahah

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

The cat is helping us look :-(

5:25 am

Soodle

Hiya Herin

5:25 am

herinfernallady

Hello. Ruby is hubby better?

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

We have already pulled out the freezer. I can't imagine where all that fluff came from - must be a bad housewife around here somewhere :-)

5:26 am

rubyfoo

yes, thank you, he's home and much happier. He was miserable at the hospital and I think they were mean to him!

5:26 am

rubyfoo

that's pollen, sally, and it accumulates anew each day, hahah, you could never be a bad housewife!

5:27 am

Soodle

Fluff is good, Sally. No fluff means you are house-proud. Pride comes before a fall. Ergo, if you have a clean house, it will fall down. Fact!

5:27 am

rubyfoo

absolutely!

5:27 am

Sally-catlover

Me? Not a bad housewife? hahahahahaha. You don't know me very well obviously. I like soodle's explanation though.

5:29 am

rubyfoo

this is a lovely grid, at least for the first 50 words!

5:30 am

Sally-catlover

I hope you have noticed the C and K next to each other.

5:30 am

rubyfoo

how nicely they nestle!

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Soddle you know those long wrapping paper tubes?

5:32 am

Soodle

Indeed I do, Herin.....

5:35 am

herinfernallady

Ok you get one of those and tape it to the end of your vacuum tube then stick under the fridge, over other under places taht a solid tube wont fit

5:35 am

rubyfoo

great idea, herin!

5:36 am

rubyfoo

maybe I can get whatever died out from under/behind the fridge that way

5:36 am

Soodle

What??? So that my house will fall down?????

5:36 am

Sally-catlover

Don't worry ruby. Eventually they dehydrate and don't smell.

5:37 am

rubyfoo

actually, I've noticed that the smell has dimished greatly (after I totally tore apart the fridge!!!@)

5:38 am

Sally-catlover

There you are then. When we re-planned the office (where the cats sleep) we made sure that all the cupboards etc were on legs so that we could see under :-)

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

brb

5:40 am

rubyfoo

100!!!!

5:41 am

rubyfoo

that is a big number for me! lol

5:42 am

Sally-catlover

Yay for ruby!

5:43 am

guernseygirl

hi, everyone

5:43 am

rubyfoo

hello girlie!

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, don't miss the fact that when you get a word ending in ck, you can often past tense it, or change the ending to et and then plural it.

5:44 am

Soodle

Hi GG

5:44 am

guernseygirl

are you all ok?

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

Hi GG

5:45 am

rubyfoo

I'm getting more thorough, sally, but still don't get fireworks (or list), What I get is what I get and if it's more than half, I'm very happy

5:45 am

Soodle

Couldn't be better here, thanks,GG.

5:45 am

rubyfoo

you need another holiday, soodle!

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Ruby stinkies in the fridge can be prevented by using a bit of vanilla in the wiping of the inside and a small saucer of bi carb soda in a dish

5:45 am

Sally-catlover

Oh yes, I understand that, but just thought I'd throw a nice high-scoring hint your way :-)

5:45 am

guernseygirl

Good. i haven't been playing recently - too busy.

5:46 am

Soodle

Ruby, my ideal life is 2 weeks work, and 50 weeks holiday!

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was in the fridge, cleaned out all the past-date things, the moldy veggies, etc., put in some bicarb, but then realized the smell wasn't from the fridge, it was behind or under it, and it's built into the cabinets!

5:47 am

gremlinn

fireworks, unaided

5:47 am

rubyfoo

you should be french! Our handyman works 5 months of the year for the county and gets 5 weeks paid vacation!

5:47 am

guernseygirl

hoooooooraaaaaay, gremlinn

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

It happens in the country, ruby. Have had lots of mice when staying in rural France.

5:47 am

Soodle

Woo-hoo Gremlinn.

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

well done gremlinn

5:47 am

gremlinn

thanks

5:47 am

rubyfoo

there is a mouse family living in the shrubbery near the bird feeder. They are brown, small and furry, very cute!

5:48 am

guernseygirl

last bad smell i had turned out to be the outside drain. i had practically dismantled the fridge before i realised

5:48 am

rubyfoo

yay, gremlin

5:48 am

Soodle

I should be blooming rich, not French!

5:48 am

rubyfoo

gremlin, since you help everybody with your lists, who can ever help you?

5:48 am

rubyfoo

hahah soodle

5:49 am

herinfernallady

Ruby something funky could have died in the walls :(

5:49 am

gremlinn

no trouble at all to make the lists

5:50 am

rubyfoo

it's really not so bad now and I'm the only one who can smell it (dog nose).

5:50 am

herinfernallady

Ruby you could have got a funky smell up your nose.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, pb for me..... slinking away

5:51 am

rubyfoo

herin can join me!

5:51 am

herinfernallady

I also find once things get tossed out of the fridge I keep a list of what is in there and what needs to be used and rebought. if it gets emptied then it gets put on the shopping list

5:51 am

herinfernallady

I didn't ahve anything

5:52 am

rubyfoo

no** hahah

5:52 am

rubyfoo

you sounds very organized, herin!

5:52 am

herinfernallady

And if It doesn't get used and goes funky it goes on the Do not buy for a month list

5:52 am

guernseygirl

could you bring some cake from the pb when you come back. i'm kind of peckish

5:52 am

Soodle

I nominate Herin as Babble Housewife of the Year, and hereby invite her to come to my house for a (?) holiday.

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

I have a blackboard where I write up what we've run out of/are running out of.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I could use some cake, too

5:53 am

herinfernallady

We have to be organised we don't have teh spare money

5:53 am

rubyfoo

5:53 am

guernseygirl

5:55 am

herinfernallady

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi zoo zoo

5:55 am

lynxxx

Hello again. Hi Zooz - long time no see!

5:56 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxxx!

5:56 am

Soodle

If I shopped for the month - everything would be eaten by the end of the first weekend, and we would starve for the remainder. 3 teenagers!!

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Soddle there is just the two of us. It sucks that my soy milk costs about $4 a brick

5:56 am

rubyfoo

I can't plan that far ahead

5:57 am

rubyfoo

that is really expensive, herin!

5:57 am

Soodle

Ouch, Herin.

5:57 am

herinfernallady

It is but it tastes really good

5:58 am

herinfernallady

I use about 3 a fortnight. Sometimes I buy the cheaper stuff but it doesn't taste good

6:00 am

lynxxx

Obviously no-one is sh5.22ed up in Babbleland (or maybe that is just an Australian expression?)

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

no, UK too

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx did you see the Bushfire Commision Report

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was American

6:02 am

guernseygirl

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I don't think anybody gets married any more

6:02 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:02 am

lynxxx

Parts of it on the radio Infernal. Seem like good recommendations

6:03 am

herinfernallady

Soodle

guernseygirl

6:04 am

rubyfoo

6:04 am

lynxxx

Me neither, I know the buck stops at the top but we aren't all perfect. Tough jobs

6:04 am

rubyfoo

you're not perfect lynxx??? I thought you were!

6:04 am

herinfernallady

I think it should be the actual government for not installing adequate services

6:04 am

herinfernallady

brb going to go get fud

6:05 am

guernseygirl

back in a minute with a cup of coffee. anyone else want one?

6:05 am

Soodle

6:06 am

rubyfoo

I like the image of white-hatted nutters!

6:06 am

guernseygirl

oh, i thought you meant chefs as well. it thought they might have been barbequeing

6:06 am

rubyfoo

6:28 am

6:29 am

lynxxx

It might be easier to explain later ;-)

herinfernallady

Guernsey they are not sure off it

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

No I don't. Will google.

6:36 am

Anniebrook

BR, Whew! I was just thinking this morning that New York is turning into a semi-tropic zone. I was in the city last week and the heat was brutal. Luckily, I live 2 streets from the ocean so we usually have a breeze which we trade for harsh winds in the wintertime. If you go inland though it is quite hot. Today is not too bad tho. I saved the article to read again later.

6:36 am

guernseygirl

i am in the process of setting up a page, but not finished yet.

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Guernsey you really need to speak to the vet about it

6:37 am

guernseygirl

i googled it. my vet says its quite common, but that the treatment is not without side effects.

6:37 am

Sally-catlover

Seems to be like the things people get on the side of their noses. Can the vet remove them?

6:39 am

guernseygirl

she is on steroids and antibiotics. there is one on the roof of her mouth which they say they won't be able to remove, but as long as it gets not bigger, she should be all right. apparently they recur and if you keep treating them with steroids the cat can develop thyroid and diabetes probs.

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

How old is she?

6:39 am

Anniebrook

oh dear, poor thing

6:39 am

guernseygirl

they're not happy about surgery because they are all in the mouth area

6:40 am

guernseygirl

only 5, but with a long history of health problems.

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, poor cat.

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Have you looked at natropatic ways?

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Is she the one in your lovely photo?

6:40 am

guernseygirl

she's fine in herself at present. just wondered if anyone had experience of it in their cats.

6:41 am

guernseygirl

yes, the little ginger one. i no longer have the other

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

No, though I have had cats for many years. Nearest was my favourite who developed breast cancer - not the same thing at all.

6:41 am

guernseygirl

not yet, herein, we only had the diagnosis on Thursday

6:42 am

herinfernallady

My friend resorted to natropathic ways for her dog that is sick but he is only 3

6:42 am

guernseygirl

i guess not. i always thought rodent ulcers were a form of cancer, but apparently the theory is that they may be allergic reactions, in which case natural remedies might help

6:43 am

guernseygirl

thanks for your interest, both of you

6:43 am

Sally-catlover

Certainly in humans they are very common and easily removed or treated. Hope you have a good vet. Saw a horrific Panorama on iPlayer recently about rogue vet group.

6:44 am

guernseygirl

i heard about that programme - it sounded dreadful. i think my vet is fine - been goign to them for years

6:44 am

Jillyjill

Hi herin! Well, huge thunderstorm woke me up..might as well babble!

6:44 am

Sally-catlover

This was a group, pretty well all in London I think, called something like MedVet or VetMed or something like that.

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Jilly the last thunderstorm we had was like a bomb hit the horse and I slept through it

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

lol!! lovely typo herin.

6:45 am

guernseygirl

i might see if its still available and watch. my vet's a group practice in Sutton Coldfield - mainly women, which somehow gives me more confidence

6:46 am

guernseygirl

oh the poor horse herein!

6:46 am

Jillyjill

lol, I sleep way to lightly..plus during the week I get up @ 5 AM so my body must be used to this!

6:46 am

herinfernallady

Crap. Sorry my cat is having a spaz and it is very hard to concentrate with a cat squeeking and talking

6:46 am

Sally-catlover

Still giggling about herin's horse.

6:46 am

herinfernallady

Are you saying that natrual stuff on animals is bad or that the ulcers are?

6:46 am

guernseygirl

not crap, it was great entertainment

6:47 am

guernseygirl

i think investigating natural remedies is a good idea and i shall look into it.

6:47 am

herinfernallady

(hangs head). i should go and get my herb book to look up a natural thingy

6:47 am

guernseygirl

the ulcers are quite bad

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

Does it cause her a problem eating? Did you just notice them or what?

6:48 am

guernseygirl

but the one that was infected on her lip is looking better with the tratment.

6:49 am

herinfernallady

If you go to :http://rememberdiesel.webs.com/ under what you can do then scroll down you can see what my friend uses with her rotti

6:50 am

guernseygirl

the vet found the first one on the roof of her mouth but didn't really know what it was. that was about two years ago. then last week i noticed some on her top lip and that'w when the vet gave me the diagnosis. no problems eating at the moment but i have to watch out for that, and if becomes a problem they say that there may not be much they can do.

6:50 am

guernseygirl

thanks herein, will do

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Oily fish is great Guernsey.

6:51 am

gran

Clue please for di 7/36

6:51 am

ardilla

hi all

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, so very sorry GG.

6:51 am

herinfernallady

What do you feed the kitty?

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

An ecclesiastic district, gran

6:52 am

guernseygirl

she has been put onto a Hill's prescription diet. she has been on Hills dry food all her life.

6:52 am

gran

Thanks and finished

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

Mine are on Hills too. Won't touch anything else.

6:53 am

herinfernallady

If that is what the vet recomended then that is good

6:53 am

Anniebrook

congrats, gran

6:53 am

herinfernallady

The other thing is does the kitty have fleas?

6:54 am

herinfernallady

Yah Gran

6:54 am

Sally-catlover

I buy mine online from Zooplus: much cheaper and saves lugging it home: http://www.zooplus.co.uk

6:55 am

guernseygirl

hooooray for gran. Violet loves her food and thinks the new prescription one is great. she is regularly treated with frontline, herein, and i've been advised to do that a bit more frequently. i really think that probably all the advice i've been given by the vet is good, from what you are saying.

6:55 am

guernseygirl

petremedies are good too for hills

6:55 am

Jillyjill

Hey Herin, how is your dad?

6:55 am

Sally-catlover

Violet - lovely name for a cat.

6:55 am

herinfernallady

My friend gives her cat a clove of garlic once a year to get rid of fleas

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

don't know petremedies - will go and look.

6:56 am

herinfernallady

Jilly thank you for asking. Dad is doing fine and back to his cheeky self (apart from bemoaning the being a pin cushion)

6:56 am

guernseygirl

don't fleas like garlic? how interesting. how does she get the cat to eat it?

6:57 am

guernseygirl

likewise, zooplus

6:57 am

herinfernallady

She just pops it in like a pill. Apparently Garlic is bad for cats some say and some say it is fine so I am confused

6:58 am

Sally-catlover

I buy largest quantity and pay no postage that way.

6:58 am

guernseygirl

oh, maybe i'll hold off on the garlic then

6:58 am

Sally-catlover

Garlic is supposed to be good for chickens, but I haven't ever used it.

6:58 am

herinfernallady

I guess what the vet says and frontline the cat is the best.

6:59 am

herinfernallady

The other thing is people forget that animals and people are different and it is always best to speak to the vet.

6:59 am

guernseygirl

the man who does my garden eats a whole clove of raw garlic every day. i can't bear to be within less than a yard of him.

6:59 am

herinfernallady

ewwww Guernsey

7:00 am

EspritdJean

G-girl that makes me want to hurl

7:00 am

guernseygirl

it's truely horrible. i don't know how his wife can stand it.

7:00 am

Sally-catlover

Fireworks. Hint for everyone: You can add an O to quite a few of the words ending in ck, even though I don't think they are real words!

7:01 am

EspritdJean

garlic breath is bad enough, but combined with the inevitable garlic gas, ewwwwwwwww

7:01 am

herinfernallady

Yah Sally

7:01 am

Sally-catlover

I bet he doesn't have fleas though.

7:01 am

guernseygirl

well done Sally. i don't know how you've managed that while talking about my cat. you must be a very good multitasker

7:02 am

Anniebrook

yay for sally!

7:02 am

Sally-catlover

I think I'd done most before talking about your cat.

7:02 am

Jillyjill

Nice job Sally, just got thru A's myself...and thanks for the tip!

7:03 am

EspritdJean

that was a helpful -o- hint sally

7:03 am

guernseygirl

still 76 to go, but the cko hint has helped

7:03 am

Sally-catlover

I think there are only 3, from a quick scroll through, but that's three I wouldn't have got without trying.

7:04 am

herinfernallady

Guernsey it seems your kitty is in very good hands with a very loving vet

7:04 am

Anniebrook

148 here

7:05 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all... i only could add o to two ck words so far, are there moe?

7:05 am

guernseygirl

yes, i think so too, herein, but it's helped me a lot to talk it through and come to that realisation. thanks both of you

7:05 am

o-o

I only had trouble with the words I could not find.

7:05 am

guernseygirl

Violet's asleep on her back on my bed at present

7:06 am

herinfernallady

awwww kitty

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl!

7:06 am

Jillyjill

lol, morning babblerabble!!

7:06 am

Sally-catlover

herinfernallady

7:06 am

72 Temple Owl

7:07 am

herinfernallady

Hi TO

7:07 am

guernseygirl

7:07 am

Jillyjill

my two are running around the family room chasing each other Sally

7:07 am

Sally-catlover

Do you have the sh 6/36?

guernseygirl

7:08 am

herinfernallady

In your icon pic Violet looks like a toy

7:09 am

guernseygirl

that was when she was about 6 months old i think. she was the most adorable kitten, but they all are aren't they

7:09 am

Jillyjill

I have a black and white (Phat Luey) and a Bombay (Benjamin), both adopted in February

7:10 am

guernseygirl

don't think i've heard of Bombay cats

7:10 am

Sally-catlover

I have a white with a little black, Daisy (in my icon) and another (her sister we think) called Sparky, with a lot more black. We found them both in our log store, abandoned by mother at about 4 weeks. Not weaned.

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Jilly we think ours is part Bombay. He has all the manerisms

7:11 am

Sally-catlover

They are now both nearly 8. Still kittens to me!

7:11 am

Jillyjill

Neither had I until I posted pic of him and a friend noted that was what he was. They are all black right down to roots. Am now catsitting 3 more!!

7:12 am

Jillyjill

Mine's certainly a lover AND a 'shoulder cat" my how he likes to perch!

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

what re they like then?

7:12 am

Sally-catlover

Think I must go and sort some stuff out. Any clues needed?

7:13 am

guernseygirl

ac7 please, and then i must go and get lunch.

7:13 am

Jillyjill

We once had an orange cat we bottle fed, what a wonderful bonding that was Sally

7:13 am

herinfernallady

My Lucius is a rescue. i would love to get a genetic test to see what he is

7:13 am

Jillyjill

thanks guernsey, I need that one too!

7:13 am

Sally-catlover

ac 7/32 - think nail varnish.

7:13 am

guernseygirl

so many cat-lovers on babble

7:14 am

guernseygirl

ty, sally. i'd tried the noun but hadn't thought of the adjective

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Lucius thinks he is a dog

7:14 am

Jillyjill

hmm, cat lovers and word game lovers...must be a genetic link somewhere there!!

7:14 am

Sally-catlover

Or - start with top scoring card in a pack, then add anagram of what's on the end of your feet.

7:15 am

guernseygirl

right, i'm off to get food/ be back later, bye all

7:15 am

Sally-catlover

7:16 am

Jillyjill

Annie, I have been out of the loop here lately ... has something happened to Ruby's husband?

8:50 am

Anniebrook

Rubys husband was bit by a dog, taken to the ER, fainted in the ER, kept overnight and I was asking if he is home but I guess Ruby is busy elsewhere

8:50 am

sandyloo

he was bitten by a beauceron dog very badly and it resulted in a minor heart attack

8:50 am

redturtlehead

I think she said she only had a minute...

8:50 am

Anniebrook

so she did

8:51 am

sandyloo

dog and owner disappeared

8:51 am

Mom

oh dear that is terrible

8:52 am

redturtlehead

It is terrible, I never understand why people have such an issue with leashing their doggies.

8:52 am

sandyloo

i do not understand why people choose to own such dogs

8:52 am

Anniebrook

She said one of the bites is very deep

8:53 am

Anniebrook

I agree with you sandy

9:22 am

Scrabbler

My mother finally stopped talking at me. 45 minute phone call with her talking & me listening.

9:23 am

Minveryork

I am well. I'm avoiding my dust bunnies like the plague

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Red, I don't know how you work night shift.

9:23 am

rururocks

maybe you need some dust coyotes to keep the bunny populations down

9:23 am

Dorens

well scrabbs at least you can continue babbling while on the phone with her, right?

9:24 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I am up to 109.

9:24 am

Dorens

i saw my mom yesterday. do all people begin telling you ridiculous details that are extraneous and boring when they're in they're 80's?

9:24 am

redturtlehead

Good Job Scrabbler I am down to 118. the heat is Killing me.

9:24 am

Minveryork

My husband accuses me of talking at him & not to him

9:24 am

redturtlehead

Plus I am trying to date this man and he is not really fitting into my life very well yet..

9:24 am

Scrabbler

I have friends coming in 2 1/2 hrs, with their 2 young daughters, so I cleaned like crazy yesterday and have much more to do! I must get past halfway first.

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Doren, my mother is 79 and has been stuck in details and tangentiality for a LONG time.

9:26 am

Minveryork

When I babble & am on the phone,I throw in a couple of Yeps and Uh-huh every so often while I am babbling

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Red, is it something that you want to work out?

9:26 am

Dorens

my mom has always done some, but oh my goodness. it has gotten to a really painful degree now

9:26 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I am your Mom's age. I must ask my daughter if I do the same.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

My mother rambles about the obituaries.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

Not sure Scrabbler. He is a perfectly nice man, for some reason right now I am not feeling it.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

Annie, i think you do not!

9:26 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, all. Here for a few minutes :)

9:26 am

Dorens

depends on who i'm talking to min, and annie, no not YOU!!

9:27 am

Dorens

hi nb

9:27 am

Scrabbler

It is difficult, as, if I ask her to "sum it up", she says, "Just let me tell you everything!"

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi NB

9:27 am

redturtlehead

hi nancy.

9:27 am

Anniebrook

Whew!! *breathes a sigh of relief*

9:28 am

rururocks

<--- hates the tangents

9:28 am

Minveryork

If I am on the phone & babbling at same time,I throw in a couple of yeps and uh-huhs to keep conve going.

9:28 am

Minveryork

Hello Nancy Boy! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

9:28 am

Anniebrook

and hmmms are good too

9:28 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, what about secants?

9:29 am

Anniebrook

hello NB

9:29 am

rururocks

mrs. ru goes off on tangents and drives me nuts

9:29 am

Minveryork

Sorry to repost the same message.I thought I lost IE.

9:30 am

Scrabbler

Patience is a challenge for me. I tend to be a summarizer, and have a reductionist approach, avoiding details.

9:30 am

Minveryork

I love it when people say "to make a long story short" and then keep rambling on and tell the WHOLE story.

9:31 am

car.eeyore

May I have a clue for the K? I have the lottery game ke 4. What is the other?

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Hahahaha. That's a classic, Min

9:31 am

car.eeyore

NM. Just found it...as usual!

9:31 am

Anniebrook

Duke of Ke**

9:31 am

Nancy Boy

I'm the same way, Scrabbs. Details are vastly overrated...

9:31 am

rururocks

man's name

9:31 am

Scrabbler

City in Britain

9:31 am

Minveryork

My husband is patiently challenged. He hates to hear stories. He'll come right out and say get to the point.

9:32 am

Scrabbler

I prefer to see the forest and not get stuck on the trees.

9:33 am

Minveryork

Oh I love that Scrabbler! Wonderful analogy. Have to remember that one!

9:33 am

Scrabbler

and some people get stuck on each leaf of a tree

9:34 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, you just described a friend of mine

9:35 am

Dorens

and my mother.. although she does eventually seethe forest too... her brain is very sharp and she's quite perceptive... (want any more details?)

9:35 am

Scrabbler

And that is my mother.

9:36 am

Scrabbler

My mother is very intelligent, read a lot, and shows no signs of dementia at age 79

9:36 am

Dorens

yup, same here.. except mine is 82. her memory is so much better than mine

9:37 am

Scrabbler

She needs someone to listen to her as my father does not. I don't blame him. He is a saint. 51 yrs of marriage and neither has killed the other

9:37 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, correction, not your Mom's age..only 76..at my age every year counts

9:37 am

Scrabbler

You are much younger, Annie

9:37 am

rururocks

off to tennis.. see you later.. Dorens I 'll email you this afternoon with everything

9:37 am

Dorens

and you're a young 76 too...
okay thanks ru

9:38 am

Scrabbler

At 126/120, I must have breakfast then do speed-cleaning before my guests' arrival at 1:00.

9:38 am

Dorens

9:38 am

Minveryork

Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

9:38 am

Anniebrook

9:39 am

Scrabbler

9:39 am

Dorens

enjoy your laundry annie.. i will tackle my book (last steig larsson book... and I love it)

9:40 am

Anniebrook

Dorens, I am reading the last larsson book too, it is his best

9:40 am

Minveryork

Goodbye Anniebrook! I'll see you later in the chat log!

9:41 am

Minveryork

Goodbye Dorens! I will see you later on in the chat log

9:41 am

Dorens

that's exactly what i think annie... and i'm about 100 pages from the end and really don't want to do anything else but read it!!

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Me too,Annie! I cannot put it down, except when I doze off and it falls on my face in bed. I am about 2/3 done.

9:41 am

Dorens

I've read that he was working on a fourth, and it was 90 % complete... hoping that they figure out how to finish it so it can be published

9:42 am

Scrabbler

All 3 of us! The details of the plots = amazing!

9:42 am

Anniebrook

That is what I read too

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Sad that Stieg died before seeing popularity of his writing.

9:42 am

Dorens

not one wasted word... and the blomkvist character is really coming into his own in this one...

9:43 am

Dorens

i mean, salander was always fascinating, but the way he is solving problems for her here... what a hero

9:43 am

Anniebrook

Yes, there are no filllers in this book...ooh dont tell me!

9:43 am

Dorens

i'm telling nothing!

9:44 am

Anniebrook

Okay..now I will sneak away. Scrabbs, please give the little Down Syndrome child a hug and kiss from me.

9:45 am

Dorens

me too. going to read out on the patio..

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I will, Annie. She is SO darn cute!

9:45 am

Scrabbler

Bye, friends!

9:47 am

Anniebrook

10:17 am

ardilla

i hope to visit my godson while in the states

10:20 am

Trifioso

hi trif! *hug

10:22 am

Trifioso

hello sprite! Big excitement with tertiare today -- she woke me up to say there was "some sort of animal" in the yard. Turns out it was a red fox, and it was a DELIGHT to watch it play in our backyard, take a drink from the pond, etc.

10:23 am

sprite

awwwww! So wonderful! They are beautiful and funny, aren't they. I have never seen one except in a zoo.

10:23 am

ardilla

ooh...sounded exciting!

10:24 am

ardilla

i've only se4 one on TV

10:24 am

Trifioso

oddly enough, it ran away when my little one decided to run out to offer him/her a slice of ham. tee hee

10:24 am

sprite

how odd

10:25 am

Trifioso

foxes always remind me of The Little Prince...

10:25 am

ardilla

1/3 done

10:27 am

Trifioso

ardilla, I read back a bit. Am I to understand you are on the move?

10:28 am

ardilla

yes, in 6 weeks, i leave okinawa on my way to spain

10:28 am

Trifioso

wow, big move! How long have you been in Japan? Was this a requested transfer, or just army life?

10:31 am

sprite

oh yes! You have to tame them... very slowly.

10:31 am

Good Enough

oh, i just got a 7/8/9 by myself!

10:31 am

Good Enough

never happens

10:32 am

ardilla

it will be 2 years in sept, which is the end of my tour there. spain was on my list of desired assignments. since i'm single, the air force moves me every 1-2 years

10:32 am

ardilla

woot GE!

10:32 am

Trifioso

this grid is funky - you can have the ca5/12, but not one who does it. You can sh55/22 up with someone, but when you are done, you can't talk about it in the past tense. Weird

10:32 am

Trifioso

Way to go GE!

10:33 am

Trifioso

oops, air force, not army, forgive me!!! Spain sounds like a wonderful place to get stationed! What part will you be in? Do you speak spanish? will your job duties change much?

10:35 am

ardilla

it's okay :) my new location only has about 200 people total, and my new duties sounds wonderfully simple. I speak some spanish. i have never done the same job twice in 10 years

10:35 am

10:36 am

ardilla

10:36 am

crosshair

10:36 am

Nancy Boy

It was intended for me, Crossy ;) Soodle is trying to fatten me up. Wouldn't touch the stuff!

10:36 am

10:37 am

JBV

ardilla

hi JBV

10:38 am

Nancy Boy

Hi again, Ardilla! :) and mornin', JBV!
I'm not here for long though - was just stopping by to put my flickr back up in my profile. My flatmate is amazingly talented, and he's been drawing me off and on for the past three years - thought I'd put them up for the public to ooh and ahh over ;)

10:39 am

ardilla

so is madrid, barcelona, toledo, the coast...there are some walled cities i want to visit too

10:39 am

Trifioso

I was hoping secoop might be babbling more frequently, but I haven't seen her on here in a dog's age. She has mono at the present, and is bored out of her head. What is a better cure for boredom that a nice long chog and babble?

10:39 am

JBV

don't miss Avila

10:40 am

Trifioso

nancy, how old is the artist? the drawings are stunning!

10:40 am

ardilla

none that i know of...now that work has settled down a bit...new, more demanding job

10:41 am

10:41 am

Trifioso

10:42 am

ardilla

NB, the drawings are fabulous!!1

10:42 am

Trifioso

wow, nancy, I cannot WAIT to show primo these! He is going to be in awe

10:42 am

ardilla

hi gary

10:42 am

Trifioso

10:43 am

ardilla

a cat and my neighbor's dog are having a debate :)

10:43 am

Pinikula

...and you make a great model, NB! :)

10:43 am

Nancy Boy

on behalf of him, thanks ;) he's not working as an artist though - just keeps it as a really awesome hobby.

10:43 am

Trifioso

go dog!

10:43 am

Pinikula

I'm sure he could easily make a living at it!

10:44 am

JBV

beautiful, NB - you and the drawings!

10:44 am

ardilla

okay, i think there are two cats now

10:44 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Pini, thank you ;) I'm sure I annoyed him though - I'm not very good at sitting still!

10:44 am

Nancy Boy

JBV, he was kind enough to edit out my flaws ;)

10:45 am

Pinikula

Perhaps he might consider doing pencil portraits from photographs...

10:45 am

Pinikula

You're too cute to have any flaws, NB!

10:45 am

crosshair

those drawings are amazing,sad if he is not making a living with it and sharing with the world

10:45 am

ardilla

yeah, what flaws :)

10:46 am

Trifioso

crossy, have you and your boy child started doing college visits yet?

10:46 am

Pinikula

Out of curiosity, how long did it take to do them?

10:46 am

10:51 am

Pinikula

10:51 am

Nancy Boy

I'm completely jealous - can't imagine how someone can just sit down and create something like that! So, thought I'd share.

12:28 pm

ardilla

RTH!!!

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

Ardilla! Hi!

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

How is everyone?

12:29 pm

ardilla

i'm moving again in 6 weeks

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

12:29 pm

dcseain

i'm tired -- i got home at 5 AM

12:29 pm

dcseain

12:29 pm

ardilla

spain, a hour from seville

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

DC what were you doing? I was getting up at 4..

12:29 pm

dcseain

very nice!

12:30 pm

weiik

I miss partying in DC ... the '70s was the best .. everything was safe in those days

12:30 pm

redturtlehead

spain will be nice!!!

12:30 pm

dcseain

i went to games night, then a few of us hit the diner, and then a subset yet talked in the car park til half 4.

12:30 pm

ardilla

i should go to bed soon since it's 0230

12:30 pm

redturtlehead

dc, you are amazing. I have a date tonight and I am trying how to figure out how to be home by ten.

12:31 pm

weiik

by 10am?

12:31 pm

dcseain

i wanted to go home hours before that, but there was no polite way to extricate myself :/

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

by 10 pm. or 9 if I am lucky.

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

I believe I was meant to be single.

12:32 pm

dcseain

hope the getting home part goes well for you, red

12:32 pm

redturtlehead

or wth a different person...perhaps.

12:32 pm

weiik

don't say that red ..... it is all a matter of trust ...

12:32 pm

dcseain

by royal ed5

12:32 pm

redturtlehead

In this case, i trust him, I just dont really like him that much.

12:33 pm

weiik

don't waste your time than, just move on, or you may meet someone else while out ...

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

He is a brother of a friend. And he is driving 2 hours to take me out to the movies and dinner. I think I have to try to let him down easily, I would like to be his friend, but I do not want to marry him.

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

or to kiss him again, since he caught me rather by surprise on the first date.

12:35 pm

weiik

ahh, someone forward to break the ice ... at least he is persistent

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

persistent is one way to describe it.

12:37 pm

weiik

red, what kinda of restaurant you going to?

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

In truth though I think I like being single, for the most part.

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

I have no idea, its going to have to be vegetarian as he is a vegetarian.

12:38 pm

weiik

than you've been single too long .. I was that way after my divorce, but, took a few years to get over it

12:38 pm

weiik

at least he's healthy

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

eis actually overweight, which is one of my biggest issues and is sad that it is my issue.

12:40 pm

weiik

well, suggest a long walk after dinner, always a chance to talk, and get you out of the restaurant

12:40 pm

redturtlehead

I think I am going to suggest that we be friendly but not exclusive, so I can date some other people who are more interesting to me. I mean, I feel absoloutely no passion towards this man.

12:41 pm

Shirlockc

can make passsion

12:41 pm

Shirlockc

pheromones have to be there

12:41 pm

Shirlockc

i've been having poor connection for online dating

12:41 pm

weiik

make sure you're honest with him, people will respect that even if they are turned down, but, a friend is always good to have

12:42 pm

Jillyjill

my words when my friend told me a man was interested in me was "oh, NO!!".....we've been married 29 years...lol. Take your time, but give him a chance to "grow" on you....

12:42 pm

Shirlockc

for some reason they all want to IM and "get" to know you before meeting

12:42 pm

weiik

shir, has online ever worked for you?

12:42 pm

redturtlehead

I don't do any online dating. I never understand the concept of it. I tent to do things and meet people while doing them...

12:42 pm

Shirlockc

my contention is there is no way to "know" anyone thru IM so let's just meet, get it over with and see if there's any chemistry

12:43 pm

dcseain

yes, face-to-face matters a lot. strictly on-line is hard

12:43 pm

redturtlehead

At least then when I meet people they already know me, and we generally have something in common.

12:43 pm

Shirlockc

more then one have then IM-ed me to "chat" even when I explicitly sad no, and then get upset that I don't want to chat

12:43 pm

weiik

shir, most online now is too superfical, ilke being in a doctors office

12:43 pm

redturtlehead

I think he is just so persistent that I feel a little under pressure.

12:43 pm

Shirlockc

and then they call me rude

12:44 pm

redturtlehead

I dont really get the online dating thing. but then again, maybe I should try it..

12:44 pm

Shirlockc

if you're not comfortable then you're not -- trust your instincts

12:44 pm

weiik

I'd move on then, so I'm rude that way, tell them what you want, not what they want

12:44 pm

Shirlockc

i've met nice peeps thru online, just not lately

12:45 pm

Jellen

Hello...

12:45 pm

weiik

have you ever gone to the book stores and sat around looking at magazines, and then the browsers?

12:45 pm

Jellen

I met Tim online...

12:45 pm

dcseain

hi, jellen

12:45 pm

weiik

hi Jell, speaking of which, how are things going

12:46 pm

weiik

DC, thought you fell asleep

12:46 pm

Jillyjill

Hi Jellen! :=)

12:46 pm

dcseain

not yet :) am considering a nap, though

12:46 pm

Jellen

Good, so far today...except his feet and legs are swelling now...

12:46 pm

redturtlehead

I have to admit, i am thinking of just cancelling for tonight, I am tired, I want to go to bed.

12:47 pm

weiik

how about elevation? Would that help?

12:47 pm

dcseain

sleep is good :)

12:47 pm

weiik

red , don't back out .. make it a short night ...

12:47 pm

Jellen

Elevation helps temporarily...

12:47 pm

ardilla

sorry, i keep nodding off...meds kicking in...bbl

12:48 pm

redturtlehead

thanks DC, sleep is good, and so is less pressure. I think I may just have to do that...I wonder if there is a way to do it without being too too rude.

12:48 pm

weiik

what about support hose?

12:48 pm

dcseain

sweet dreams, ardilla

12:48 pm

redturtlehead

Weiik, I would love to make it a short night, but I hate to make him drive 2 hours to then spend approx 3 hours with me.

12:48 pm

dcseain

or compression/anti-embolism stockings?

12:48 pm

Jellen

That might be what we need, weiik...

12:48 pm

Jellen

and dc...

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

WIll he wear them though?

12:49 pm

Jellen

That's a good question...

12:49 pm

weiik

red, call and tell him you can only last till 10pm, that way, it would be his call to make the trip

12:50 pm

carleekat

hi again..50 lbs of baking soda later and HOPEFULLy my pool will be clear

12:50 pm

weiik

jell, has the doctor be apprised of the swelling? Could have a suggestion also

12:50 pm

weiik

car, at least baking soda is cheap

12:50 pm

dcseain

may it be so, carlee

12:50 pm

Jellen

Only the feet were swelling when we talked to the doc...

12:50 pm

carleekat

well..and one other chem...toal of 72.00

12:51 pm

Jellen

Hi, carlee

12:51 pm

carleekat

but....will be clear....just openned pool last week

12:51 pm

carleekat

hi jellen

12:51 pm

dcseain

! only last week?

12:51 pm

weiik

if going up the leg, they may be interested in that, sounds like water retention

12:51 pm

Jillyjill

Hi Jellen, is there lymph node involvement?

12:51 pm

Jellen

No, Jilly

12:52 pm

weiik

car, has the weather just warmed up there to open now?

12:52 pm

Jillyjill

Good, cause people can get lymphedema

12:52 pm

Jellen

Yes, we're cautious about his arm, where he had lymph nodes removed...

12:53 pm

weiik

Jell, is salt an issue in the diet?

12:53 pm

Jillyjill

I'd check all his meds to see if edema is side effect

12:53 pm

Jillyjill

is his kidney function OK?

12:53 pm

Jellen

No, I don't think salt is an issue...

12:54 pm

weiik

has the heart been checked ?

12:54 pm

weiik

Jill you sound pretty knowledgeable, are you in medicine?

12:55 pm

Jellen

Kidney function might be an issue...heart? I don't know...

12:55 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, I'm an RN

12:55 pm

weiik

I know just enough to decide whether to fix it myself or head to the ER

12:56 pm

Jillyjill

common sense and gut are a nurse's best tools!!

12:56 pm

weiik

I thought if the heart is not pumping well enough it could cause fluid to build up in the lower extremity

12:57 pm

Jillyjill

Jellen, is it his whole leg or just lower legs? Has he been sitting a lot?

12:57 pm

Jellen

They know about the foot swelling, but the leg swelling is since yesterday...his whole leg

12:57 pm

weiik

both or just one?

12:58 pm

Jillyjill

No pain?

12:58 pm

Jillyjill

good question weiik!

12:58 pm

Jellen

Both legs, no pain (of course, he's on a pain patch), no discoloration...

12:59 pm

weiik

cream the skin to keep moist, but, Jill do you thnik water? Jell is Tim on a water pill?

12:59 pm

Jellen

He sits in a recliner, so legs aren't quite above heart level...

1:00 pm

weiik

jell , get them up

1:00 pm

Jillyjill

have him flex foot up towards knee.. just want to make sure no clots...

1:00 pm

Jellen

No water pill...trying to keep him hydrated, so diuretics were a good option...

1:01 pm

Jellen

Flexed

1:01 pm

weiik

jill, how would the flexing help?

1:02 pm

Jillyjill

pain with flex is classic clot symptom...Jellen, when you push your finger straight into edema does it "pit"?

1:02 pm

Jellen

No pitting

1:03 pm

weiik

what is the edema? Skin?

1:03 pm

Jillyjill

Hmmmm, that would indicate fluid retention. do you have an MD you can call?

1:04 pm

Jillyjill

is he on a blood thinner by chance?

1:04 pm

Jellen

No blood thinner

1:04 pm

crosshair

back for a few more words:)

1:04 pm

Jellen

But he did have chemo, could have low platelets again...

1:04 pm

Jillyjill

are both feet warm to touch? any redness to leg

1:04 pm

Jillyjill

very true

1:05 pm

Jillyjill

HI crossy!

1:05 pm

Jellen

Cool to touch, no redness

1:05 pm

Jellen

Hi, crossy!

1:06 pm

crosshair

howdy jilly ((jellen))

1:06 pm

Jellen

I have a call in to a PA friend of mine...but will call doctor if I don't hear from her soon...

1:06 pm

Jillyjill

does he feel that his feet feel colder to him?

1:07 pm

Jellen

Yes

1:07 pm

Jillyjill

for now, get his feet up on a few pillows so above heart as you await her call

1:08 pm

Jellen

Okay...thanks!

1:08 pm

Jillyjill

want to try one more test?

1:08 pm

Jellen

Sure

1:09 pm

Jellen

Do I get to poke him with a pin? :->

1:09 pm

Jillyjill

pinch his big toe nails; they should blanch then return to pink.....NO PINS....lol

1:09 pm

sprite

back from dinner, hi all

1:09 pm

weiik

a sense of humor is good

1:09 pm

Jellen

Hi, sprite!

1:09 pm

crosshair

god,do i remember all this from my chemo days,white counts shot to hell,swelling in the hands and feet...freezing cold,puking non stop;((

1:09 pm

sprite

hey Jellen *hugggs*
How are you today, and how is Tim?

1:10 pm

Jellen

Done...they're fine

1:10 pm

weiik

jill, doesn't that show flow of blood?

1:10 pm

Jillyjill

oh crossie, I've seen such suffering and just strong people and caregivers

1:10 pm

Jillyjill

Yep

1:10 pm

Jellen

I'm pretty good, sprite...

1:11 pm

crosshair

i have nothing but love and respect for all the professionals who helped me and other cancer patients

1:11 pm

Jellen

Someone suggested I massage the leg...is that okay?

1:12 pm

sprite

I have read back about Tim, Jellen, don't bother for my second question. *extra hug* for you.

1:12 pm

crosshair

massage is always good to improve circulation

1:12 pm

Jillyjill

Not if a clot could be the issue..you don't want to dislodge it

1:12 pm

crosshair

mmmm

1:13 pm

crosshair

i best leave it to the pros...

1:13 pm

Jillyjill

you can have him do 'foot pumps' and twirl his ankles

1:14 pm

Jellen

Will do...

1:14 pm

Jillyjill

put a good tune on it and have him keep time with his feet!! Do you both good...i suggest a good irish jig like I'm listening to now!! (((hugss)))

1:15 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Jilly! I'll stop hogging chat now...

1:15 pm

weiik

well, off to work after that call, best to you and tim jell, bye jill, dc if you're still awake

1:15 pm

sprite

1:15 pm

sprite

bye weiik

1:15 pm

Jellen

Bye weiik

1:15 pm

weiik

1:15 pm

Jillyjill

1:16 pm

Jillyjill

1:16 pm

stidgmere

Hello, looked at chat, caught up with jellen and Tim. Jilly what a lifeline this chat sometimes is. Hello sprite, crossy weiik et al.

1:16 pm

Jillyjill

1:17 pm

Jellen

1:19 pm

Jillyjill

thanks helens!!

1:19 pm

sprite

it is pretty wet atm but otherwise well.

1:20 pm

helensgirlkid

Keep your spirits up with that jig, Jellen - too easy to get too tense. Hoping for the best.

1:20 pm

Jellen

Hi, helen

1:20 pm

stidgmere

We are hoping for rain once August comes.

1:21 pm

helensgirlkid

Just caught up with chat - been one of those sessions of here for two minutes, off to phone or door - got my fireworks by surprise. I'm going to keep on tracking this chat while I do my jump and run routine with the phone here!

1:21 pm

Jellen

brb

1:21 pm

sprite

gratz on fireflies, helensgirl

1:22 pm

helensgirlkid

thanks!

1:23 pm

Jellen

Congrats, helensgirl!!

1:23 pm

stidgmere

Friedworks are always nice, helensgk.

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

hello everybody

1:24 pm

Jellen

Hi, ruby

1:24 pm

sprite

hi rubyfoo, how are you and how is the husband?

1:24 pm

stidgmere

Hi ruby!

1:25 pm

bichon

Hello Babbling cohorts

1:25 pm

sprite

hey bichon!

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

husband is home since this morning and, now that I've fed him two good meals, is much better. I am really glad, though, that he stayed in the hospital last night because his big wound keeps bleeding off and on and hemmoraghed during the night

1:25 pm

Jellen

Hi, bichon

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

hello sprite and jellen and bichon and stidgmere

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

is crossy still here?

1:26 pm

Jellen

((ruby))

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

is cohort the collective noun for a group of babblers?

1:26 pm

sprite

much better for you as well, rubyfoo. Glad he is doing well. Any opinion from doctors about his mental condition?

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

{{jellen}} how are you doing?

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

he's acting better than he has in months -- go figure!

1:27 pm

Jellen

I'm fine...how are YOU?

1:27 pm

sprite

so, once more, rubyfoo: how are you doing?

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

it took the chog to remind me to eat yesterday, lol!

1:27 pm

Good Enough

nothing like a hospital to make someone be happy at home :)

1:28 pm

bichon

yes ruby, like a gaggle of geese

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

I'm OK, just very tired. However, when people asked what they could do to help, I let them help me

1:28 pm

helensgirlkid

Definitely a cohort!

1:28 pm

Jellen

Hi, Good Enough

1:28 pm

sprite

hi GE

1:28 pm

Good Enough

'lo

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

hi good enough and helensetc

1:28 pm

sprite

very good, rubyfoo. Well done, I know that is not easy for you.

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

a basket of babblers....

1:29 pm

bichon

ruby, is your hubby ill?

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

the neighbors are wonderful!

1:29 pm

sprite

a bubble of babblers

1:29 pm

sprite

good neighbours are worth their weight in gold.

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

he was attacked by a huge dog on his regular morning walk, same route as always, and wound up in hospital.

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

a boodle of babblers

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

when I was checking him out of the emergency room, he collapsed and had to be re-admitted, which was a very good thing in the end

1:30 pm

bichon

Really, were the bites serious. That's awful. As a dog owner I don't understand why people allow their dogs to roam

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

I just saw something beautiful: there was a ray of sunlight streaming through the window when I was on the floor feeding max and it was filled with sparkling, spinning dust motes!

1:31 pm

Jellen

That's awful, ruby!

1:32 pm

sprite

something to lift your spirit

1:32 pm

Jellen

About the bites, I mean...

1:32 pm

helensgirlkid

This is even worse, Bichon - the dog was on a leash, and it's owner let go when it ran at Ruby's husband.

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

very serious bites and the dog took him down. One bite is a very deep puncture but the other is a huge, deep wounds where the dog evidently ate a chunk. The surgeon said he could only close it with a graft and husband said no.

1:33 pm

bichon

This is horrific. Was this recently?

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

nasty business and the police are going door-to-door where it happened, looking for the guy and the dog

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

yesterday morning

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

I think it's a homeless person

1:34 pm

rubyfoo

although it's odd for someone like that to be here

1:34 pm

bichon

when they find him I hope you take a chunk out of hime.

1:34 pm

rubyfoo

I just hope they find the dog and put it down because if it had been a child, it would have killed it

1:35 pm

bichon

what kind of dog?

1:35 pm

stidgmere

Oh, ruby my heart goes out to you and your husband! Tell Max we all are inscensed (spelling?) and wish him the most rapid recovery possible.

1:35 pm

rubyfoo

the police say I should save all the bills but I am sure that, even if they find the guy, he won't be insured

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

husband is traumatised but I think he may have made eye contact with the dog, saying Hello or something. It was a "beauceron"

1:36 pm

bichon

We have some neighbors who just bought a house on our circle. The guy rides a motorcycle and he got an unneutered pit bull mix. He doesn't want to have it neutered [I guess it's a macho thing]. The other day it was running around loose with a chain link around its neck. Shudder

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

husband isn't in pain, so it could be a lot worse and he didn't hit his head very hard when he hit the ground which was very lucky!

1:37 pm

rubyfoo

that is awful, bichon. Did you call Animal Control?

1:37 pm

bichon

Looks like a fierce breed

1:37 pm

rubyfoo

here, they have to muzzle pitbulls and rottweilers, but I don't think they enforce the laws about anything else so why would they bother about dogs

1:38 pm

Jellen

I had a pit bull mix...sweetheart!

1:38 pm

bichon

Calling animal control around here is usually useless. Unless there is a serious incident they just go out and if they find the dog loose, they issue a ticket.

1:38 pm

rubyfoo

husband has already had 3 rabies shots

1:38 pm

bichon

If their homeowners insurance finds out, they'll drop them as a client

1:38 pm

rubyfoo

I think it depends how they are raised, but if this dog's owner was a crazy, it's no wonder that the dog attacked

1:39 pm

bichon

We live in a community that has a homeowners assn. I wish they'd make a rule about a situation like this.

1:39 pm

rubyfoo

many people say chow chows are dangerous, but we've had 5 and not one of them has ever come even close to biting.....

1:39 pm

sprite

it is not the breed, it is the owner and the training. I really think if this dog has tasted human flesh, it will have to be put down.

1:39 pm

bichon

My best to your husband and may he heal quickly.

1:40 pm

rubyfoo

that's what I think, sprite, it is just too scary

1:40 pm

rubyfoo

thank you bichon

1:40 pm

rubyfoo

from your lips to God's ear!

1:43 pm

rubyfoo

I've run out of time, thank you all for your kind wishes and sympthetic ears!!!

1:43 pm

bichon

One of the reasons we got a Bichon is it's mild manner demeanor [and lack of shedding]. But, they need brushing, grooming and the males love to mark in the house [has been neutered since 6 months].

1:43 pm

sprite

am over halfway and still not a single 8 or 9, lol... this is a tricky grid. But fun.

1:43 pm

Jellen

Goodbye Ruby

1:43 pm

rubyfoo

the chows need endless grooming but the males don't need to be neutered. Neither of our two males was ever interested in girls or marking

1:44 pm

Kazzer99

good evening all

1:44 pm

sprite

hiya Kazzer

1:44 pm

Jellen

Hi, Kazzer

1:44 pm

rubyfoo

are bichons curly-haired?

1:44 pm

rubyfoo

hi kazzer

1:44 pm

bichon

That's funny ruby. My 16 y.o. Bichon likes to hump young male dogs

1:44 pm

sprite

our KCC isn't neutered yet, so far we have seen no reason to do so. He is endlessly sweet.

1:44 pm

rubyfoo

maybe our male would like him!

1:45 pm

bichon

bichons are generally curly [like a poople] but some are wavy

1:45 pm

rubyfoo

I comb Ruby every day, but just whatever part she offers. It is too much to cover all at once as she is big, heavy and very long-haired

1:46 pm

when the neighbors got their Golden pup 5 years ago, Biscuit was humping him, had an erection [yes I know that shouldn't be happening] and it wouldn't go away. Had to call the vet for instructions

rubyfoo

was he taking small blue pills?

1:46 pm

Jellen

lol, ruby!

1:47 pm

bichon

He doesn't need the small blue pills. They look like a cream puff but those hormones just don't stop

1:47 pm

rubyfoo

in Miami, when we just had Rosie and then Rufus, the groomer used to pick them up in his air-conditioned van every other week. They were fabulous. But here, nobody knows how to groom chows and they charge double

1:47 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like DH, bichon!

1:48 pm

bichon

LOL ruby

1:49 pm

rubyfoo

we took Ruby to a groomer here, once, and she cut off all the long hairs in her tail. It took 2 yrs to grow back -- never again!

1:49 pm

rubyfoo

she has a gorgeous coat but is always in need of more combing

1:50 pm

bichon

I take Bisky every 8 weeks and he looks so handsome. He's 16 and 1/2 and is ill with kidney disease, but after grooming, he looks so pretty

1:50 pm

rubyfoo

Max's coat, on the other hand, is long and silky and pretty thin, so he is much cleaner.

1:51 pm

bichon

do you clip their nails yourself. I can't do that

1:51 pm

rubyfoo

that is a great age! we've had bad luck with our chows, Rufus lived the longest, but was only 10 when he died

1:51 pm

rubyfoo

since Max is autistic (yes, really), the vet comes to the house to clip his nails.

1:52 pm

rubyfoo

uh oh, stomping around, not dogs, so I had better go {{again, everyone}}

1:53 pm

bichon

I'm watching Cupcake this weekend [my daughter's Bichon]. He's diabetic and I need to give him insulin

He is great - back out playing -slow to start but needs to build up his endurance - at his girlfriends house right now - young puppy love....

2:36 pm

Anniebrook

I dont know who pointed it out but they said "notice the ck" and it helped at the end of words

2:36 pm

Anniebrook

Oh River, that is wonderful

2:36 pm

Riverdance

Hi Kazzer - hang in there - some of this is challenging for sure

2:37 pm

Anniebrook

Before I go, anyone want a clue?

Hello all, I have just been a bad woman and told a white lie to cancel my date.

2:45 pm

Anniebrook

great

2:45 pm

Riverdance

we forgive you red

2:45 pm

redturtlehead

thanks river. I think he was a wee bit miffed. but..

2:46 pm

Riverdance

didnt want to hurt his feelings Im sure

2:46 pm

Anniebrook

red, You are forgiven..you probably are tired and need to take care of yourself.

2:46 pm

redturtlehead

No I did not, and I may still want to see him again. Frankly, I just want him to be a little less needy. it was like I went on one date and he was planning the wedding.

2:47 pm

Anniebrook

red, how do you feel about this guy?

2:48 pm

Riverdance

if it not fun at this stage - dont bother

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

I am ambivalent. he has a lot of nice qualities, but also...thereare some odd things. like his 7 yr old son sleeps in the bed with him, because he whines if made to sleep alone...

2:49 pm

Anniebrook

uhoh

2:49 pm

redturtlehead

that is strange isn't it.

2:49 pm

Riverdance

that is not good

2:50 pm

redturtlehead

I mean, a 4 yr old, I get, but at some point, kids have to learn things.

2:50 pm

Anniebrook

I agree. You seem to be pushing yourself to go out with him.

2:51 pm

redturtlehead

Well I kept things open. I found him just a little odd overall. he is my friends brother, so...

2:51 pm

Riverdance

when my kids were little, I let them come into bed if they had a bad nightmare but just for awhile - they always went back to their own bed each night - its not healthy for them to sleep with you all the time

2:52 pm

redturtlehead

I agree river, even though I have no kids.

2:53 pm

Here is another story of clues for you to take no4/4 of. When I en 5/10ed Babbleland today I changed my ic4/5 and then started grid. I pr5/14ed that I would finish the grid today, but I didn't. I did not finish the grid even with the ai 4/5 of my monkeys who were a pain in the ne 4/9 when I sent for them. They always give me to 4/4 of grief. They were so sn4/4ty! They hi4/5ed and sn 5/10ed and sa 4/5 they did not want to help. I sa4/5 in a nasty to 4/4 "put a so 4/9 in it!" Then monkeys tried to hi4/6.When they could not hi 4/6, they pretended to be si 4/9. Monkeys drove me insa4/4 so I offered to pay my monkeys some ca 4/6 for their help. I found all of the easy words. They sc 4/5ed the grid and found the hard on 4/4 I hadn't se 4/4 before.But I just was not into grid today so I let my monkeys go back outsi4/5 and play in the tr5/10 I quit grid after making a small de 4/5 in it and went on 4/4 other things instead. Hubby and I got our oa 4/4 and went on a ca 5/12 trip on a river. When we got back we washed both of our ca 4/5. Then I went shopping. I bought ince5/12, some new di4/6es,a ra 4/9 of ribs, a tennis ra 6/33 & a te 4/4. Then I went to doctor and got new le 5/10s for my glasses. When I got back, my cousin Di 4/10 kn 6/36 on my door so I visited with him for an hour. Now I am off to watch Travolta's di 5/14 movie Saturday Night Fever. I will ra4/5 back to computer when the movie is over.Ciao

8:34 pm

lbdawger

I wish I had wings! I would love to come out there and be with all of you. Unfortunately, this is not the summer for such frivality.

8:36 pm

Bugsaw

Too true. Some summers are good for travelling and others are not. I am trying to talk my husband into driving accross Canada next summer for a big holiday. I want to stop off and visit Babblers along the way but I haven't mentioned that part of the dream yet.

Hello Minveryork

8:37 pm

lbdawger

hmmm, your hubz sounds like mine, doesn't really believe in my "imaginary" computer friends.

8:37 pm

lbdawger

Hi Min! welcome to the evening edition of babble! how are you tonight?

8:37 pm

Bugsaw

if only they knew how supportive and friendly Babble people are.

8:38 pm

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw! I return from watching Saturday Night Fever as I promised I would.Did you finish puzzle yet?

8:39 pm

lbdawger

he's learning, but slowly, he's met a couple friends from another board, and says they are nice, but isn't sure how i could trust total strangers!

8:39 pm

Minveryork

Hello lbdawger! How are you? Thanks for the welcome

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

Hello again, Babble buddies.

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

not yet Min. I had company drop in for a visit and then had to weed the entire veggie garden. I still have 71 left

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

hi WScrabbler

8:39 pm

lbdawger

hi scrabs! i saw a black bunny on the way to work this morning. I almost stopped to pick him up. he looked so confused crossing the road.

8:40 pm

Minveryork

I had company drop in today too.My cousin came for an unexpected visit.He stayed for about hour today.

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

Black? Is that common in Montana or is the bunny a stray domestic?

8:41 pm

Minveryork

Hi Scrabbler!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

I had friends visit with their young daughters today. We had fun--at the pool for 2 hrs, then here for dinner.

8:41 pm

lbdawger

i think it's someone's escaped pet. at least i hope it is

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, someone needs to catch it.

8:42 pm

lbdawger

although, unfortunately a lot of the "easter" bunnies are now not little cute bunnies any more, and people let them out to fend for themselves.

8:42 pm

Bugsaw

is it a busy road lbd? Any chance someone else might have picked it up?

8:43 pm

Scrabbler

That's how our family got our first bunny back in 1983.

8:43 pm

lbdawger

it depends on if it stayed on the grassy side of the street. that's residential, but if it tried to cross the other street...

8:45 pm

lbdawger

i didn't see it on my way home, so i'm hoping one of the locals caught it and now has a new pet.

8:47 pm

Bugsaw

It is hard to pick up a bunny though

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

Yes. As prey animals they are cautious + skittish.

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

I would have tried to scare back towards the houses and hoped its ownder came out

8:49 pm

lbdawger

i would have tried, except i was going to be late for work. fortunately not a lot of traffic at that time, so can only hope for the best

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

work can be such a pain can't it ?

8:50 pm

lbdawger

yup

8:51 pm

Scrabbler

It gets in the way of life, yet that paycheck is so necessary.

8:51 pm

Bugsaw

some days the cheque is the only benefit.

8:51 pm

Bugsaw

I love being on holiday right now

8:51 pm

Scrabbler

snack

8:51 pm

lbdawger

oh had a customer today who let her kid tear open a box of legos. she tried to hand it off to me, saying "oops, he got into this..." she had no intention of paying for it!

8:52 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, I'm hungry.

8:52 pm

Bugsaw

How did you handle that without loosing your temper?

8:52 pm

Scrabbler

Lack of responsibility is rampant + then parents teach their kids.

8:52 pm

Bugsaw

I wonder what kind of values she thinks she is teaching her kid?

8:53 pm

lbdawger

my comment was, "well, we sure can't sell that now." she said "but I don't want it." I handed her over to the manager. he let her off the hook the weenie

8:53 pm

Scrabbler

Most parents do not consider what values they are teaching their kids.

8:53 pm

Bugsaw

At least I hope he told he not to come back

8:54 pm

Bugsaw

told her, rather

8:54 pm

Scrabbler

naos

8:54 pm

Scrabbler

Aw, not again.

8:54 pm

Bugsaw

3 minutes too late to help me Scrabbler

8:54 pm

lbdawger

it's a major pet peeve with me, how parents let their kids run amok in the store, they destroy a lot of merchandice, and leave a mess in the wake. i hate working the kids section

8:55 pm

Scrabbler

In my experience as a pediatrician of 22 yrs, I estimate that only about 25% of parents focus on raising respectful + responsible kids.

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

Do you work in a big one like WallMart? After Adam Walsh I am suprised that any parent would let their kid go off by himself

8:55 pm

lbdawger

but the highest stolen merchandice other than cd's are bibles!

8:56 pm

Scrabbler

Those 25% of parents sustain me.

8:56 pm

Scrabbler

Really, lbd?

8:56 pm

lbdawger

i work at borders bookstore.

8:56 pm

lbdawger

yeah, bibles of all things!

8:57 pm

Bugsaw

You could be right, Scrabbler. I work in the schools and definately the polite kids are in the minority.

8:58 pm

Bugsaw

I wonder why people would steal a bible? My mother stole one from church the first time she went because she thought she had paid for it by putting money in the collection dish.

8:58 pm

Scrabbler

The trend is so worrisome. Most parents are spineless and are their kids' friend instead of being a teacher + leader.

8:58 pm

lbdawger

i blame it on Rosanne (Barr). her show really set the stage for mouthing off and not caring about how they were received

8:58 pm

Bugsaw

My Granny was mortified.

8:58 pm

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

9:00 pm

wht

This grid at least starts easier than some.

9:00 pm

wht

I have 112 left and nbt in less than half an hour.

9:00 pm

Scrabbler

Then it gets tough, wht. After passing halfway it gets tough.

9:00 pm

lbdawger

i remember my nieces trying to be mouthy to me, I turned and told them, This isn't Roseanne's house, you will not talk to any adult like that! they never did it again

9:01 pm

Scrabbler

Good for you, lbd, having a spine + self-respect.

9:02 pm

lbdawger

I couldn't imagine my sister letting either of them talk to her like that, so what made them think I would? but if they don't try and someone doesn't cut them off...

9:03 pm

Scrabbler

I fear for the future, based on the kids I see in the office daily.

9:04 pm

lbdawger

Oh i bet, scrabs. You see them well before Bugs or I do. don't you wish you had a magic pill for the parents to take and become PARENTS?

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

And at 148/98 I have had enough of this grid. See you all tomorrow.

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, I'm going to interject here, I am the High School youth ministry coordinator and I just don't see the mouthing off

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

I have one or two out of 40+ teens

9:05 pm

lbdawger

Jilly, you're so lucky. But I think you work with a very special group of youths. They are already trained to be kind and compassionate. they are the 25% minority

9:05 pm

lbdawger

night night, Scrabs. good chatting with you.

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

What I do see and am VERY concerned is that these teens today have schedules that would rival any adults...we don't allow them to be kids anymore

9:07 pm

Jillyjill

OK, while I have the floor...lol..I need the last no4/5..

9:07 pm

lbdawger

i hear you there, Jilly. too many activities and not enough family time or personal down time.

9:07 pm

lbdawger

a little bite of something is called a no**

9:07 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:08 pm

Jillyjill

ahh tyvm, and to continue, I thinkg in all this business kids and parents don't spend emough down time together to where the teens don't really feel their parents focus

9:11 pm

Minski

Greetings all. howaya?

9:11 pm

Minski

interesting topic of conversation tonight.

9:11 pm

I am attempting to teach my kids to use please and thank you all the time.

9:12 pm

IamEi2907

Ello!

9:13 pm

Minski

Whenever she says "I want X." I always say "that's nice. I want a million dollars and a Porsche." Then she'll remember and say "May I please have X please Mama?"

9:13 pm

Minski

It's kind of funny but it works. She is starting to use it more often.

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

good for you minsk, what are their ages

Night lbd

9:21 pm

Minski

My sister's dh is away a lot so she feeds the kids and then eats later herself very often. Her kids have horrible table manners (not eating manners but how they act at the table) and you can't take them to a restaurant. They are horrible when you eat out.

9:21 pm

sprite

it is 4.20 am here... haven't slept yet, but wrote a letter to my father. A rather confrontational letter. Must wind down a bit before I can sleep, lol... it is getting light outside already!

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

Keep it up minsk, let 'em be kids. Our di7/36 director feels parents should stand up to coaches etc and say "no that's not a good time for practice..it's our dinner hour"

9:21 pm

Minski

HUGS to you Sprite.

9:21 pm

sprite

oh what a shame :( It is so nice if you can take your kids everywhere and be proud of them.

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

oh sprite, I'm sorry, parents can be tough. My mom puts me thru the ringer...and she's 90!!

9:22 pm

thanks Minver :) Am a bit shaky and hyper, but very satisfied with the letter.

9:25 pm

sprite

lol wht, isn't it great to learn such words?

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Sounds like it wasn't a good letter, so good luck with the outcome. I hope you get what you need from him

9:26 pm

sprite

9:56 pm

bethn

thruway, we get off on 787, and her house is 15 minutes from there. it takes us 2 1/2 - 3 hours

9:57 pm

bethn

my sister lives next door to her sprite, and her nieces and nephews and grandchildren were there today to celebrate with her. she is very frail
