Goodnight dear, God bless both of you.

12:23 am

gremlinn

st 10/84

12:24 am

gremlinn

plural of st 8/50

12:24 am

12:25 am

gremlinn

though those two start on different tiles

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

nbt

12:26 am

MLFAN17

grem is the ST 10 the S next to the H?

12:26 am

gremlinn

no

12:27 am

MLFAN17

ST8

12:27 am

gremlinn

couldn't be, from what I said before :)

12:27 am

MLFAN17

oh lol

12:27 am

gremlinn

must have gotten it

12:28 am

MLFAN17

i have an 8 not a 10

12:29 am

gremlinn

there's only one st8

12:29 am

gremlinn

oops, no, there's two, but they start the same

12:29 am

MLFAN17

right but the 10 should come from the other ST that the 8 doesnt is what i thought you meant

12:29 am

rururocks

ta8

12:29 am

gremlinn

first st8 is plural of st7, second st8 is right after first

12:29 am

Erda

One of them can be preceded by Miles

12:30 am

cybernan

I have an st 8, but it is a plural, so don't see how I can get a 10 from it

12:30 am

MLFAN17

i think thats the one i have erda

12:30 am

gremlinn

it's a noun that looks like an adjective

12:30 am

Erda

Yes, MLFAN, and that one will pluralize

12:31 am

cybernan

just found an st 8/50

12:31 am

1:20 am

flosey

more dense

1:20 am

stidmama

*not MY stollen...*

1:21 am

jillibus

looks delish

1:21 am

stidmama

well, maybe my stollen is, I am not the world's best baker. BUT it doesn't stay around long enough to make a comparison... LOL

1:21 am

flosey

ah, have never made one stid, just had them from the bakery

1:21 am

(nods flosey's head)

1:25 am

Ormal

thanks mama

1:25 am

rubyfoo

I have one question for the chog, and then I will try not to talk about this any more: If a dog has had a rabies shot, can he get (and therefore transmit) the disease? Does anybody know?

1:26 am

jillibus

hi ormal!

1:26 am

rururocks

no ruby

1:26 am

flosey

lol, thanks ru, was deep in this grid!

1:26 am

Ormal

If I remember correctly Ruby, it is highly unlikely

1:26 am

stidmama

I think it's like any other vaccination ruby... pretty reliable.

1:26 am

rubyfoo

that is the purpose of the shot for the dog, right?

1:26 am

jillibus

I shouldn't tink so, ruby, but it might depend on how long ago the dog had the shot. Ask the vet!

1:27 am

rubyfoo

good idea. Thank you all for considering this

1:27 am

stidmama

I would like a help on that es word jill. (please)

1:27 am

Ormal

hi back jilli.

1:27 am

flosey

me too please, jilli

1:27 am

rururocks

Nodding stid's head too

1:30 am

stidmama

1:30 am

flosey

1:32 am

Ormal

1:33 am

rururocks

1:33 am

flosey

hello Ormal, well thanks, and you?

1:34 am

jillibus

ruby, I'm not liking this grid, but it's bedtime for me and you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning, I guess, lol!

1:34 am

Ormal

I've been on occasionally, but mostly home dealing with some issues and not online.

1:34 am

rubyfoo

and trying to escape from you-know-who! hahah

1:34 am

jillibus

Issues resolved, I hope, ormal?

1:34 am

rubyfoo

mids

1:34 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry -- going to PB for panettone!

1:35 am

jillibus

oh, you just want the panettoni in the PB, eh ruby?

1:35 am

Ormal

trying to find a place for my mom to stay for a while because I have to move and will be homeless for a month or so. brothers not so cooperative...trying to do my best.

1:35 am

jillibus

snap, lol!

1:35 am

rururocks

wow ormal..

1:36 am

Ormal

hey. i'll take some of that fruitcake - or anything else sugary and tasty...been dieting (yuck!)

1:36 am

rubyfoo

that is a very hard situation, ormal; it must be nice to escape to this sanctuary for a little while

1:37 am

jillibus

that's tough, ormal!

1:37 am

Ormal

yep, kids and mom in bed, hubby on a 24 hour shift...sleep or babble? Babble of course! :)

1:38 am

flosey

perhaps a good choice Ormal, change of scene, amongst friends

1:38 am

rubyfoo

good choice! this is better than sleep!

1:39 am

Ormal

I can sleep tomorrow - no doctors, no physical therapy, no kids (school started back already), no demands tomorrow. :D

1:40 am

jillibus

That's an early school start! Howcum?

1:41 am

Ormal

they have a fall break and then get out of school at the end of May. It's odd to me, but that's just how they run it here in KY. Most other states I've lived in are later start, later finish.

hello sandy!

good icon jilli

1:51 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK but on-the-mend husband is starting to give me a hard time about his rabies shots. I think that if the dog was vaccinated before he was adopted by the SPA lady, he can't have rabies and therefore, going to the Rabies/Aids section of the hospital for more shots is a bad idea since the hospital has non-existant sanitary practices. He's had 6 shots anyway, while the dog is in custody. And now husband is being really nasty, just like old times. LOL

1:51 am

jillibus

over halfway at last!

1:51 am

jillibus

thanks, sandy

jillibus

We were there in 1968, visiting an old friend of hubby's. He showed us around but HIS way -- we were taken to the football stadium and a bar where I was looked at askance by some ladies of the evening. Flamenco was off the menu, as was Gaudi. What a jerk!

yeah but I am not =P

5:37 am

sandyloo

that seems fair

5:38 am

sprite

grin

5:38 am

sandyloo

14 vs 207

5:38 am

sprite

yeah in your dreams

5:39 am

sandyloo

and now I am using More words (you probably have never heard of that)

5:39 am

sprite

of course not. I use a2z.

5:41 am

sandyloo

I am so glad its Friday nite and we have nothing planned for the weekend, I am sick of eating, I want to read a book and do a drawing this weekend and maybe go for a little ride

5:42 am

sprite

sounds like a lovely plan!

5:42 am

sandyloo

Nice I think and daughter is coming over with progressing plans for the house

5:42 am

sprite

that is nice too

5:43 am

sandyloo

we have to sell the other house tho, before we start building

5:44 am

sandyloo

Funny. since I had the computer people put xp on instead of windows 7 , I can do the icons again

5:45 am

sprite

windows 7 is not one of the best yet. XP is a lot less buggy and better compatible still.

5:46 am

sandyloo

well , I like it for sure , better than windows 7

5:47 am

sprite

so do I. I have a wonderful computer, had a friend build it for me last year. And I insisted on XP.

5:49 am

sandyloo

what time is it for you Sprite, ten to seven at nite here

5:50 am

sprite

it is 10 to 1 in the afternoon here.

5:50 am

sandyloo

the dog is crying because Nicky is asleep and wont throw her hair lacky for her-

5:50 am

sprite

so... 6 hours earlier than at your place. And for most Americans I am 6 hours ahead.

5:51 am

sprite

makes you 12 hours ahead of most americans.

5:51 am

sandyloo

thats right

5:53 am

sprite

and just when I start thinking I have figured out the time differences, DST sneaks in and makes my head spin.

5:56 am

sandyloo

We dont have it here, it got voted out, we have long hot sunny days and we look forward to the sun gooing down in the summer

5:57 am

sandyloo

some of the eastern states have it, not queensland for the same reason\

5:57 am

sprite

I love early mornings and the summerdays are long enough for me. I don't like DST at all and would be glad if it got voted out. No chance though.

5:59 am

sandyloo

I love early mornings too - at the moment we are having very sunny days but cold nites

5:59 am

sprite

that would be ideal for me. I really love the nights to be cold.

6:01 am

sandyloo

we need rain tho, we have only had rain on about 5 occasions since december

6:01 am

sandyloo

it is the middle of winter here

6:02 am

sprite

wish we could send some of ours over to you. We get a lot of rain here, sometimes more than is good for the farmers.

6:05 am

sandyloo

I am feeling very sad for Jellen at the moment

6:06 am

sprite

what happened?

6:06 am

sandyloo

the doctors have given her the worst news so things are looking very grim - Tim is very sick

6:07 am

sandyloo

she was on earlier and put it in her profile

6:07 am

sprite

oh dear, how awful. Have been thinking a lot of her and Tim, had not yet heard of the new setback :(

6:08 am

sandyloo

did you see fetherbees profile lately

6:08 am

sandyloo

you should look at it if you havent

6:08 am

sprite

ah I have read Jellen's now. Am so so sorry.

6:10 am

lynxxx

Thankyou Sandy. Such awful sad sad news. Hi Sprite too

6:11 am

sprite

hi lyn
Thanks sandy, have Featherbee's open now.

6:11 am

sandyloo

hi lynxx, It makes me count my blessings

6:13 am

featherbee

morning, speak of the devil, eh?

6:14 am

sandyloo

Hi feather

6:14 am

featherbee

hi

6:15 am

sandyloo

I think they are checking things out

6:16 am

lynxxx

I really thought Tim would beat this - he is so strong and young and has such a wonderful partner, I am devastated

6:16 am

sandyloo

My dad had the same thing but he was 80

6:16 am

sandyloo

I feel so sad too

6:17 am

sprite

hi featherbee, yes was on your site for Jellen.

6:17 am

sandyloo

great idea

6:17 am

sprite

life can be so damned unfair, lyn :(

6:19 am

lynxxx

My mother had it too and I think it may have been what took her 15 years later. I had it very very badly too 10 years ago. And we saw a dear friend be taken by it when she was only 30 - in much the same way as Tim.

6:21 am

sandyloo

such an insidious thing

6:21 am

sprite

am so glad you are still with us, lyn. Yes, we lost several people to it too, though we know a few survivors as well, luckily.

6:21 am

featherbee

maybe you can help me out. i'm trying to figure out the best way to get the donations to her. we've got slightly over 400 for her. a few of the payments are being delayed until aug. 10th or 11th, and about 65 is coming to me via checks in the mail. i'd really like to get this out today if possible, given the recent news. so i'm trying to figure out how to do it via paypal with the late/mailed payments. or just send a check. or send one of those visa gift cards (can i even do them for that much?) ideas?

6:22 am

sprite

am sorry, I really do not know :(

6:22 am

lynxxx

Iam afraid I am no use either Feather

6:23 am

featherbee

lol, that's ok.

6:23 am

ladycece920

feather, I'm pretty sure you can get one of the gift cards for various amounts I've seen them, though can't remember where.

6:23 am

sandyloo

You could do it for any amount I am sure , you will have to look into it on monday Feather, are you sending a card as well?

6:24 am

featherbee

yeah, but for say $375? i don't think i want to wait until monday at this point, will try to do it today.

6:24 am

featherbee

(taking money out for a small bouquet of flowers)

6:25 am

sandyloo

that would be nice

6:25 am

featherbee

yeah, i'd like to let her know who has contributed to it via the card.

6:25 am

sandyloo

she will be so touched

6:26 am

sprite

I can see why and I agree. It may really give them the feeling they are loved and supported by so many.

6:26 am

sprite

I will google and see what I can find out.

6:26 am

featherbee

i'll figure it out, lol. just laying it out like this is helping. i don't think i can do paypal with the various late payments. a check would be a little more difficult for her, as she'll have to go to the bank. the visa cards would be best i think, IF i can do them for that much.

6:27 am

featherbee

33 people so far

6:27 am

sandyloo

a check would be hard

6:29 am

featherbee

ok, thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you! gotta go get us all breakfast.

6:30 am

featherbee

who is censeri?

6:30 am

sandyloo

dont know , sorry

6:30 am

ladycece920

hi sprite, zooz

7:00 am

rubyfoo

heis depressed and nasty but I told him not to take it out on me (herin, wherever you are, I'm sticking up for myself!), and he has to go back for more shots today. This will be a long process, I fear. The owners of the dog are trying to get us to drop the charges. NOT!

7:01 am

sandyloo

I dont think the man should go to jail, but I do think the dog needs to get put down and they need to pay

7:01 am

sprite

wtg rubyfoo on standing up for yourself!

7:01 am

carleekat

ok...i look at the grid and in under 10 secs i find 2 unrelated food words...am i hungry perhaps???

7:02 am

7:02 am

carleekat

rubyfoo

hmmm food words?

7:02 am

sprite

hi carlee, lol, yes it sounds like it :)

Oh ruby, hang in there. The dog should be destroyed and the charges should not be dropped. Stay strong.

7:02 am

rubyfoo

tough old Ruby!

7:02 am

zoozzoom

7:03 am

ruby, if there is a criminla case against them, if they contact you directly that is witness tampering and intimidation

7:03 am

carleekat

BLUEBERRIES

7:03 am

rubyfoo

the husband is lying to everybody (especially his wife) and saying that he offered to help and that he was holding onto the leash and the dog dragged him all the way across the road

7:03 am

sprite

hi TOwl :)

7:03 am

rubyfoo

no kidding, TO. I wonder if the law is the same here

7:04 am

NonoNanette

all the more reason for the dog to be put down ruby!

7:04 am

sprite

well that was plain and simply not true. If that had been the case, you wouldn't have had to have the police search for him. Pure nonsense.

7:04 am

Anniebrook

I agree, Nono

7:04 am

sandyloo

the dog has to go! Next time it might be much worse

7:04 am

ChampFit

Have missed out on this conversation for a few days. Is your husband feeling any better?

7:04 am

rubyfoo

the mayor of the village and all the local ladies want the dog to be put down. I can't imagine that they won't do it!

7:04 am

hi ChampFit

Hello Scrabs

love your icon, Une

7:40 am

Hi Scrabbs

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Any updates from Jellen?

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Hiking 14.8 miles tomorrow---yikes!

7:40 am

NonoNanette

the news is not good Scrabbs, check featherbee's profile

7:40 am

Mom

Scrabs, not good news I am afraid

7:41 am

Scrabbler

OK, that is what I knew last night. I sent Jellen a message then. So, so sad.

7:41 am

zoozzoom

as long as you got good walking shoes on you`ll be fine scrabs.

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

Mom, yesterday the folks who were suppose to pick up food for the soup kitchen were no-shows so they called me and I zipped over to load big boxes of veggies an fruit . . . then back to my house to greet 7 friends that I had over for a birthday lunch -- had head in freezer trying to stop melting!! (was near 100 outside!)

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

at least we got some good rain out of it!

7:42 am

featherbee

scrabs, do you know if she's staying at the hospital 24/7 right now? Trying to plan where to send the flowers.

7:42 am

Mom

oh Une, I can picture you doing that. Oh good, I am glad you got rain

7:43 am

Scrabbler

I will think of Tim & Jellen during the hike, my late friend Mary, and all past, present + future cancer-effected people.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

I suspect that she is. Leaving his side would be too tough. I e-mailed her last night but did not get a reply.

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

pretty sure she is

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Do you know which hospital, Feather?

7:44 am

featherbee

what should i do, do you think?

7:44 am

featherbee

i think kje might...not sure

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

back in a mo

7:44 am

carleekat

i would do the hospital

7:45 am

ChampFit

remember family is coming in...there could be someone home...taking turns perhaps...

7:45 am

zoozzoom

I think the hospital would be best too.

7:45 am

Scrabbler

His cancer care was at Barnes Hospital, I think--maybe in St Louis. But I think they are at a local hospital. I forget the name.

7:45 am

carleekat

but if at hospital both tim and jellen can enjoy.....and no one has to get them to the hospital for them

7:46 am

NonoNanette

but will he be at the hospital for an extended time or go back home soon

7:46 am

Anniebrook

I was wondering if Tim would be going to a hospice or if the hospital has hospice care

7:47 am

littlebit

i believe i read that they were in cox south in springfield missouri

7:47 am

Scrabbler

I sure hope there is Hospice care--then Tim's pain + anxiety will be well-managed.

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that's it, littlebit!

7:48 am

NonoNanette

yes Hospice is wonderful

7:48 am

Hi Katie only what is in featherbee's profile but I gather that is from last nite

7:59 am

Anniebrook

Katie, sorry to say the news is not good..I read Jellen's profile and she writes that Tim was advised to make "end of life" arrangements. I am heartsick

7:59 am

featherbee

7:59 am

KatieMcG

Oh no that is so sad, I think I'll just go and have a little weep if no one minds

zoozzoom

Yes..thats a good way of putting it Carlee

8:02 am

carleekat

Anniebrook

*bit

8:05 am

featherbee

yikes, i really wanted to go to the bank today to get the card and get it all taken care of, but at this rate there'll be another hundred by the time i get back! maybe i should wait for tomorrow.

8:07 am

Anniebrook

feather, what card, may I ask?

8:07 am

Mom

if waiting until tomorrow that would mean it wouldn't get to her by Monday

8:07 am

zoozzoom

Still go & get the flowers and card then do like you said with the paypal.

8:08 am

nurse1000

8:08 am

Mom

were you thinking of sending the card "next day" mail? I would think he would still be at the hospital

8:09 am

featherbee

ok, sounds good. a visa gift card.

8:09 am

carleekat

and afterwards if there is more money... whe Tim passes...a donation can be made

8:09 am

Mom

8:09 am

NonoNanette

excellent idea Carlee

8:09 am

featherbee

ahhhh, excellent idea carlee

8:10 am

nurse1000

Hello Tceicher

8:20 am

Nancy Boy

Not if I have anything to do with it, Jayk ;) I'm trying to use the crutches less and less. I just need to enlist the help of some of my slightly burlier male friends to take care of my luggage for me ;) unless the pb can spare a few cabana boys

8:20 am

NonoNanette

hi Tceicher

8:21 am

carleekat

hi tce

8:21 am

EvaNadine

NB, my living room could use a few cabana boys. ;)

8:21 am

carleekat

i think instead of a cabana boy..i want a handsome chef with a sense of humour

8:22 am

tceicher

good morning, sorry about my feeble attempts to spell words

8:22 am

carleekat

or...do i want a handsome housekeeper with a sense of humour

8:22 am

Nancy Boy

My the looks of my flatmate this morning, my living room already has its own cabana boy ;) mmm. he's lifting weights.

8:22 am

carleekat

oh hell..both

8:22 am

carleekat

but they both need good butts

8:22 am

Jayk

sounds good NB! And now I must be off. Worlds to conquer

8:23 am

NonoNanette

yes I agree Carlee, a chef would be wonderful or a housekeeper either one...... maybe we could find someone that could do both?

8:23 am

NonoNanette

bye Jay

8:23 am

Nancy Boy

*By the looks, that is. BY the looks. Oh maybe it was a case of "my, the looks!"

8:23 am

EvaNadine

not a bad change of living accommodations, NB. ;)

8:23 am

carleekat

no...i think both would be lovely...

8:23 am

carleekat

its a dream..one can be greedy

8:24 am

Nancy Boy

No Eva, this has its perks ;)

8:26 am

m9f9l

ugh carlee...i have loads of laundry to do too..

8:27 am

EvaNadine

well, you have to look at him to speak to him dont you? otherwise would be rude!

8:27 am

m9f9l

NB... he IS lifting weights in front of you!

8:27 am

m9f9l

hmmmmm

8:27 am

Nancy Boy

'looko'? see, it's affecting my typing ;)

8:27 am

8:40 am

EvaNadine

;)

8:42 am

Nancy Boy

Lol! honesty is the best policy here. I said "you and your abs", he gave me a kiss on the top of the head and went off to get a shower. Not even a weird look. Do I have to up the crazy to get a reaction out of him?

8:43 am

EvaNadine

ooh, kiss on the head. signs of affection.
mmmm..... shower. ;)

8:44 am

m9f9l

8:44 am

m9f9l

8:45 am

m9f9l

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

lol M9, I guess the last 27 years have proved her wrong in that respect ;)

8:45 am

m9f9l

I liked the iron man clue for the 9. tony S

8:46 am

m9f9l

she died before we got married.

8:46 am

mkg

8:46 am

mkg

and who is the iron man?

8:46 am

m9f9l

Iron man's secret identity: Tony S... oh nvm!

8:46 am

Nancy Boy

oh M9, I'm sorry!

8:47 am

mkg

dont know who iron man is. sorry.

8:47 am

m9f9l

that's ok NB. long time ago.

8:47 am

m9f9l

ok.. think of the bird that brings babies but change the vowel

8:47 am

m9f9l

and then go rent Iron Man.

8:48 am

m9f9l

and then add a loch ending.

8:49 am

8:54 am

EvaNadine

*imagines NB at her bachelorette party*
yes, this might HAVE to happen! ;)

8:57 am

Nancy Boy

lol! well I hope you have a wicked time when that particular event rolls round, Eva ;) something tells me you will. Right now though, I'd better be off to get in the shower myself. I'm afraid the fantasties end here :P later all!

S'okay, weiik. Where are all of our mates from across the pond today?

9:58 am

Well, phoo. Good to see a strong North American representation though. :-)

10:02 am

Judi

Hiya, Bichon.

10:02 am

bichon

The British have retreated?

10:03 am

Judi

For the moment, Bichon. Methinks they are probably just regrouping.

10:03 am

bichon

Okay, let's come up with a strategy

10:04 am

Judi

One fish by land, two fish by sea?

10:04 am

bichon

Yes, that works

10:05 am

Judi

Or, we could just blind them with our fireworks.

10:11 am

Nancy Boy

be careful. we have spies everywhere...

10:11 am

weiik

hi nb

10:12 am

Nancy Boy

hey, Weiik :) I'm not really here, just popping in..

10:12 am

Remember what happened to Benedict Arnold

10:12 am

Judi

Hiya, NB!

10:12 am

He had to go to the PB with no chocolate

10:12 am

weiik

i'm btwn jobs search and this, I'd rather be here, but, it doesn't pay the bills

10:12 am

Judi

What happened to allies and "standing shoulder to shoulder" and all that rot?

10:14 am

Nancy Boy

hey, Judi :) well being a south korean brit, I suppose we're double allies. nothing to fear here ;)

10:14 am

Judi

Good to know. Truth be told, you don't exactly look "fierce", NB.

10:16 am

Nancy Boy

LOL. But I try so hard...

10:18 am

weiik

hey, NB, what was this I heard about war games with the navy? Any knowledge? I heard China is very upset

10:21 am

Nancy Boy

Oh Weiik, it's a mess. After the North sunk that ship belonging to the South, tensions have been running high. The South have been doing some military displays/drills which the North isn't happy about, but China is trying to get the North to ignore it rather than bomb us off the map. Uneasy!

10:21 am

Oooh daykat, good night, 3:22 here too in the pm and I want to go back to bed, but...

2:24 pm

Nancy Boy

I did quit, but then the whole Leo thing happened, and my lucky strikes were there for me. ahhh, my old friends...

2:25 pm

redturtlehead

they are not friends. NB, they are murdering friends.

2:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

NB, you will quit when you are ready.

2:25 pm

redturtlehead

Plus this morning an Agency RN came in to work and I have to say she reeked so much of cigarettes that I had a hard time talking to her...

2:25 pm

EvaNadine

lucky strikes are like leo.
you *think* theyre good for you, but in the end, they cheat you out of what you deserve.

2:27 pm

EvaNadine

and on that grumbly note, i must be off.
(((hugs NB)))
willpower, dearest.

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

Eva how goes the shoe situation?

2:28 pm

EvaNadine

red, i have a pair that i quite like, though they arent *perfect*
thankfully, they were extremely affordable, so if the perfect pair pops up, i can still afford them. :)

2:28 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks, but you know if I give up now my trip to Korea will be a disaster and I'll be straight back on 'em. Basically, quitting smoking jinxes the rest of my life ;)

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

nice! I can not wait to hear the story about how the perfect pair find you...

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

And NB, just try to cut a little bit back for the moment. You know we just love you....

Jellen

Hi again...

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

hi jellen how is everything today..

2:37 pm

Jellen

Confusing and frustrating at the moment...

2:38 pm

redturtlehead

hang in there.

2:38 pm

Jellen

Missed the doctor making rounds by about 5 minutes this morning...and she didn't talk to TIm, either...

2:39 pm

Jellen

And his regular onco is off on Fridays...

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

If you have questions, the nurse can always page the MD, may not give you answers though.

2:43 pm

Jellen

The nurse is going to try to talk with the physician who made rounds today, and then give me a call back...

2:46 pm

carleekat

good news... its so hard when you are tired...but nurses are typically a godsend... and will make the effort

2:48 pm

carleekat

( how can there be this many te words?????)

2:49 pm

carleekat

oh..thats why..missed the male bis=ts and pieces

2:49 pm

ardilla

*puts chips and dip in the PB

2:53 pm

carleekat

i am missing those too

2:55 pm

ardilla

hi NB

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

Jellen, If you need to speak with the MD, the nurse needs to page the MD, not "try" the MD on call has to call back. She may be trying though to get the one who rounded, not the one on call. I don't want you to sit and worry all night.

2:58 pm

carleekat

jellen...if u rent an apt you are a te6

2:58 pm

carleekat

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

3:39 pm

Nancy Boy

3:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That sucks. Oh- are they very traditional?

3:40 pm

Nancy Boy

Yeah Kap, you could say that. That's why I'm going back to Korea in two weeks - they told my extended family I'm dead, so I'm going there to tell them that I'm, er...not.

4:39 pm

weiik

awesome, I've a xk120 in storage, I notice "had", what happened?

4:40 pm

NonnieLight

4:40 pm

car.eeyore

4:59 pm

Soodle

Oh Trif! Havent you heard the Soodle School of thought on tidy houses? Tidy houses means you are house proud! Pride comes before a fall (Bible). Ergo, if you have a tidy house, it will fall down!!

9:41 pm

Minveryork

I was not a Babble st 4/4 today. Babbling was not so gr 5/16 today because I did not get ne4/4 fireworks which st 5/18. So my ra4/8 remains low. My monkeys did not gr 5/14 my wish for fireworks. Monkeys were ar 4/4s today. They de 6/21 helping me and drive me insa4/4.I had to pull them by the ea4/4 when I se4/4 for them. I promised to fe 4/8 them a yummy banana di4/5 if they helped.They helped me find words today with ea 4/4. I gave up on grid with 175 words and let them go. They sn 4/6ed their banana treats and ran out of my ga4/6.I didn't even get to see my monkeys ta5/10 their treats,but I am sure they ta6/21 good! Ra 4/4! I can he 4/5 my husband st 6/12ing ne 4/4by getting impatient. He ge 4/6 a turn on the computer now or else he'll get en 5/16 and start ra 4/4ing and raving. Then there will be a he 4/5ed argument. Now I am going to te4/4 myself away from computer. I am going to get out of this se4/4 and onto my fe4/7 and take a shower.I'll be back later to help out with clues.

9:41 pm

9:43 pm

Minveryork

Thanks guys!

9:44 pm

TeaNCrackers

damn, min -great work!

9:45 pm

Jacula

I used to do stories like those, but can't at present; in too much pain.

9:45 pm

Jacula

But Min's clue stories cheer me up anmd keep me going.

9:46 pm

Minveryork

Jacula, what are you in pain for? Sorry to he 4/5 that

9:48 pm

Jacula

Min - the injured foot/ankle/leg. Slipped out of slippers 4th or 5th stair up and fell backwards, da,aging tendons, ligaments and nerves, 2 and a half weeks ago. till on crutches outside the house. 6 weeks to heal and 6 months to stop hurting, I've been told.

9:49 pm

Jacula

*damaging

9:50 pm

Jacula

My broken toe 10 years' ago healed quicker!

9:51 pm

ChampFit

Oh Jacula...I'm in the same boat! Well, maybe. Foot pain, as yet undiagnosed. xray today showed nothing, going for an MRI. Better off with a break, for sure! Quicker healing, anyway.

9:51 pm

Minveryork

So then your dear husband should be waiting on you hand and foot Jacula. (pun intended)

9:51 pm

Jacula

Champ - we're both in for a long haul, methinks.

9:52 pm

lbdawger

heading for my pillows. see you all tomorrow. take care of your ailing bodies! (owie) night!

9:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

night, lbd

9:53 pm

Jacula

Min - thouogh he is not married to me, he is waiting on me hand and foot, as much as his bad knee and shoulder allow. That is what has annoyed us both... he booked a week off work for us to deal with the garden, then we both got disabled and couldn't do as much as we had planned.

9:54 pm

ChampFit

Hoping not. I'm a runner, and organize a marathon training group. Do NOt have time to be sidelined! But there ya go...sometimes it ain't up to me!

9:54 pm

TeaNCrackers

oooh, I'm down to 86 left

9:54 pm

ChampFit

I'm at 82, but it's slow going...

9:55 pm

Jacula

Champ - theinjury I have is, apparently, a typical runner's injury. You're just going to have to wait it out.

9:55 pm

LeslieAnn

Champ - if they still bound you up with a support bandage, you probably could run well enojugh after 2 o r 3 weeks to win a speicial rac. However, if you don't have to do that, then let time heal.

I don't have a race for a couple of months, so plan on doing what they tell me till I'm all healed. No point in being stupid, right? There's always ice, and my favorite...Italian aspirin. It's red, comes in a bottle with a cork... ;)

I am "okay" sandy. So very very nervous about the coming school year. I start back Aug 27 and in the school to student teach the following Monday... students will arrive Sept 1.

11:24 pm

stidmama

three di 8/45

11:25 pm

stidmama

two are "plural

11:25 pm

sandyloo

Why nervous? and what will you be teaching

11:25 pm

stidmama

and one is 8/9 combo

11:25 pm

stidmama

nervous because I don't feel my graduate school faculty actually support me.

11:25 pm

Uneaixoise

have the 8/9 combo and the 7/8 illness

11:25 pm

stidmama

7th grade language arts. I love the age, rather like the subject...

11:25 pm

stidmama

the di 8/9 is "not" palatable

11:26 pm

Uneaixoise

already have that . . .

11:26 pm

stidmama

okay, you need "not a chair" and plural

11:26 pm

sandyloo

Why do you need so much support, I am positive that you are very capable

11:26 pm

stidmama

and to disagree (as in Supreme Court justices who don't like the majority opinion) and plural

11:26 pm

Uneaixoise

tx stid!

11:27 pm

11:29 pm

sandyloo

sweet dreams you guys

11:30 pm

stidmama

I prefer social studies (history and geography) but apparently it's hard to find teachers who do both the language and the social studies

11:30 pm

sandyloo

I always loved writing and poetry also

11:31 pm

sandyloo

Diana teaches a lot of grammar - do you do that? I feel that there is no basis for good english without grammar

11:31 pm

stidmama

and I think I need to get a handle on the expectations for language arts oh well.

11:33 pm

sandyloo

Grammar does not seem to be taught as much as it was in our day

11:34 pm

sandyloo

I am sure you will find it a lot of fun and a challenge, Diana was nervous about the music but she is coping well and finding an outlet for her creativity

11:34 pm

stidmama

it will depend on the students, sandy -- and the mentor teacher I will have. Current reseach indicates that teaching grammar just for grammar's sake is often ineffective. It's now generally embedded in a more holistic way.

11:34 pm

cybernan

good evening all :)

11:34 pm

So, as I assign writing, I will address the needs of the students as they arise.

stidmama

oh, owie owie owie. I once slid down a tree and ripped myself pretty badly. was a many-day hike back to the car, we were lucky it didn't get infected or go all the way through... I think I was about 9.

11:46 pm

sandyloo

trif, it is not good news for Jellen you should read her profile and also Featherbees

11:47 pm

Barb's Horses

it seems much improved today. Drying out well and we are keeping it clean by lots of hosing with cold water...bute for pain...antiseptic spray to keep infection away and fly spray around the area to keep the flies away

11:47 pm

stidmama

I think I need one of those temple dragons for my garden... about 1/10th size...

11:47 pm

Barb's Horses

may have to have the vet back in a few days to take off the dead skin

11:48 pm

sandyloo

next door neighbour's horse staked itself and the vet bill was $6000.00

11:48 pm

Trifioso

sandy, i was speaking to them earlier today - has something changed in the last few hours?

11:48 pm

stidmama

well, good. I'll try to check in via facebook.

11:48 pm

sandyloo

it did a lot of damage, as you know some horses are more careful of themselves than others

11:49 pm

cybernan

I wonder if one would scare the deer away?

11:49 pm

sandyloo

no Trif, I just read your profile and thought you may not know the latest

11:49 pm

Barb's Horses

well I saved about 200+ by not having her try to stitch too late. It is above the left hock at the base of the rump . The vet said this area is very forgiving

11:50 pm

sandyloo

that sounds positive Barb

11:50 pm

stidmama

critters are so expensive, aren't they sandy?

11:50 pm

Trifioso

unfortunately I do -- thats why the flowers. many of us changed our icons today, as a tribute to them. also, today was the day they got the real babble flowers, and wanted to keep it going, as it were. LOVE feather for getting that together, what a love!

11:50 pm

Barb's Horses

yes...but I was so upset yesterday...my worse fear...not being there every day and then finding them hurt

11:50 pm

stidmama

feather is a very good organizer!

11:50 pm

sandyloo

they can be, some are more accident prone than others tho, horses especially

11:51 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't have had much of an idea how to start.

11:51 pm

sandyloo

I agree Trif, it was fabulous of her

11:51 pm

stidmama

Barb, you do the best you can -- we all do. ((hugs))

11:51 pm

Barb's Horses

I was lucky I guess..but still you hate when they are in pain

11:51 pm

Barb's Horses

thanks stidmama

11:52 pm

stidmama

so I hope for a 178 word grid.

11:52 pm

Trifioso

ugh, stid, I had a dose and a half of THAT today....have not been doing my best lately, and it seriously bit me in the buttocks this evening. but things are better now, though i am wiped out

11:52 pm

sandyloo

When something like that happens Barb, I get no sleep worrying about them

11:52 pm

sandyloo

I hope for 123

11:52 pm

cybernan

Guess I missed the babble flower bit when I was occupied with houseguests this week -- did send my best wishes along this am though

11:53 pm

Barb's Horses

I guess I am lucky they haven't done more really. Can't believe they are already 12 and 13 years old already...lost track of time

11:53 pm

cybernan

something smaller than this one, certainly, Sandy

11:53 pm

gortmold

clue for the 3rd di7 pls (the one between wrongful consumption and afar)?

11:53 pm

Barb's Horses

well I didn't sleep well last night that's for sure. Heading to bed soon to get some much needed rest

11:54 pm

stidmama

(((trifioso))) I know how that is. There are days that I don't manage to do my absolute best -- but it was the best I could do at the time.

11:54 pm

cybernan

make negative thoughts known, gort

11:54 pm

LeslieAnn

a group opposing the majority, gort

11:55 pm

sandyloo

my horse is 25, I have saved to buy another one after xmas

11:55 pm

Trifioso

time management and I will just NEVER learn the same dance, I am afraid....

11:55 pm

gortmold

of of course, *smiting brow*

11:55 pm

Barb's Horses

a friend has one that is 32 and going strong

11:55 pm

gortmold

11:56 pm

LeslieAnn

i was about to ask if that was old for a horse, barb. it seems so

11:56 pm

gortmold

oughtn't it to be past tenserised?

11:56 pm

sandyloo

our old pony we had put down a couple of years ago was 34 but his teeth were so worn he couldnt chew his food any more

11:57 pm

sandyloo

25 is old but he is fine and we can ride and jump him still as he is very athletic

11:57 pm

cybernan

no horsey dentures?

11:57 pm

Barb's Horses

it is a sad day when we have to make those desisions..but often best for them

11:57 pm

Barb's Horses

I am hoping to be able to move them from where they are to another place...depends what they charge for board

11:58 pm

sandyloo

it is horrible, I had to go away for a week because i couldn't bear it (I am pathetic) they had him put down when I was gone

11:58 pm

stidmama

*yawn* I am so sleepy!

11:58 pm

Barb's Horses

My old guy (Tank) I stayed with him

11:58 pm

sandyloo

11:59 pm

LeslieAnn

11:59 pm

stidmama

I was a mess when our little dog had to go a couple years ago. always sad to lose a friend

11:59 pm

sandyloo

you are much braver than me

11:59 pm

sandyloo

you are much braver than me

11:59 pm

cybernan

stop it, stid! -- you are making me yawn

11:59 pm

Barb's Horses

not brave...figured if I could stay with my dad I could stay with my horse...I almost didn't though..it was tough.

11:59 pm

sandyloo

we do all deal with it in different ways that suit us best
