Well, I have 40 left and have come to the end of gremlin's list so I think I'll head for bed.

1:53 am

jillibus

Angel, I have a new laptop as well as this old desktop -- would you recommend my getting Openoffice?

1:53 am

stidmama

well done jill. I sent the email just now.

1:53 am

stidmama

I am about ready to hit the hay also.

1:53 am

stidmama

OpenOffice is very nice, Jill -- if you aren't too familiar with Word.

1:53 am

jillibus

thanks, stid, will look...

1:54 am

jillibus

I have an ancient Word (97!) and seldom use it. I prefer Publisher.

1:54 am

stidmama

I find that trying to use both has been confusing and awful, have switched for now to using Word so that documents from school don't get messed up in the import/export process.

1:55 am

stidmama

I would recommend OpenOffice then Jill -- it's free, very stable, and (I think) more intuitive than the newest version of Word.

1:55 am

jillibus

I thought Openoffice was supposed to be totally compatible with Word etc.

1:56 am

sandrafrances

good morning how many words today please

1:56 am

jillibus

125 sandra

1:56 am

Angelsong

open office has a few quirks, but it does work amazingly well

1:56 am

stidmama

hey sandra

1:56 am

sandrafrances

thanks. is there a list

1:56 am

stidmama

OpenOffice generally reads Word documents, but Word does not always like its translations into Word formats.

1:56 am

jillibus

a list in gremlin's profile. No Lickety.

1:57 am

jillibus

I think I'll stick to Word then.

1:58 am

jillibus

Other people send me Word documents and I wouldn't want them messed up.

1:58 am

stidmama

well, NBT anyway....

1:58 am

stidmama

you could read them no problem, jill --

1:59 am

stidmama

Us undone!

1:59 am

jillibus

wtg stid!

1:59 am

Angelsong

stid, I haven't had anything on my computer other than open office in years

2:02 am

stidmama

I had so much trouble opening, reading, modifying and printing the newest Word docs in OpenOffice this past year Angelsong -- It wasn't worth my time or aggravation to go against the herd. *sad mama look* so I conformed. *shamed mama look* very unlike me.

2:02 am

jillibus

I guess it all depends on what you're used to?

2:02 am

stidmama

I had used OO exclusively for about 10 years before that...

2:03 am

Angelsong

me, too, but never for anything as ambitious as this book, Stid.

2:04 am

stidmama

I actually greatly dislike the newest version of Word. NOT intuitive, they have a silly "ribbon" they have hidden the functions I need on. After a year using it it's still klugy. BUT compatibility with official documents was essential, and will be for the next year.

2:04 am

stidmama

After that, if someone wants me to use Word, they can purchase it for me!

2:05 am

jillibus

I did all 372 pages of my my book, with photos and drawings and diagrams, with MS Publisher. And the cover.

2:07 am

jillibus

stid, your email hasn't arrived yet.

2:07 am

stidmama

Publisher is designed for that -- OpenOffice includes a Publisher clone. Suspect it will have similar compatibility issues at times. BUT -- if you are not trying to produce something completely compatible with a Word user's software, then OO functions beautifully.

2:08 am

stidmama

It was sent out 20 minutes ago. No idea why you don't have it, jill.

2:08 am

jillibus

a Publisher clone? I didn't see that when I checked the OO website!

2:08 am

stidmama

you're on the shaw service now, right>?

2:09 am

jillibus

yes, stid. Maybe they hold things for a bit.

2:11 am

stidmama

could be. sometimes gmail has been slow this past week also.

2:11 am

stidmama

It will be there when you wake up. No hurry really.

2:11 am

stidmama

it's part of OO Writer, jill.

2:11 am

jillibus

I'll give it a bit more time while I get ready for beddy.

2:12 am

stidmama

anyway, since it is free, you might check it out.

2:12 am

jillibus

Good to know, stid!

2:12 am

stidmama

I am down to 52. Going to try to get some sleep tonight.

2:12 am

jillibus

Well, that free thing is appealing -- don't have to use it if I don't like it!

2:13 am

stidmama

(((hugs all))) angelsong, so glad I got to see you. I will be switching to my "one hour a day" schedule soon, and going to sleep at 8 pm so probably won't be seeing you night owls much until next summer.

2:13 am

jillibus

Well done, stid, and goodnight!

2:13 am

stidmama

*waves bonne nuit* *poof*

4:05 am

jacq

good morning everyone

4:06 am

rubyfoo

it is perfect here -- several days of sun, then a couple of rain.

4:06 am

jacq

the sun is shining here for the first morning in two weeks

4:06 am

rubyfoo

hello jacq

4:06 am

jacq

but probably not for long

4:06 am

jacq

heya ruby

4:06 am

rubyfoo

we needed rain as the lawn was brown

4:06 am

rubyfoo

do you have roses jacq?

4:07 am

jacq

oh we have had rain every day for weeks and weeks, sometimes for days and apparently they are forecasting rain for weeks for scotland

4:07 am

m9f9l

hi jac!

4:07 am

jacq

no we only have weeds lol

4:07 am

jacq

heya m9

4:07 am

rubyfoo

ooh, you'll have to get your vitamin D from a jar!

4:07 am

jacq

i don't even have any tomatoes left the rain has been so heavy it damaged them all and the potatoes too

4:08 am

rubyfoo

we've had a lot of tomatoes but what's left are getting moldy on the plants

4:08 am

jacq

i know ruby, we have had a few lovely evenings but it's been so cool, maybe 12 c max

4:08 am

rubyfoo

but many blackberries, not sweet this year, however....I guess because of the cold and rainy May

4:08 am

jacq

i can remember not so long ago being able to sit in the garden with a glass of wine in the evenings at this time of year

4:09 am

rubyfoo

we had a huge number of tiny figs in April but May wiped them out. There are more, now, but I think this rain will take them away, too

4:09 am

rubyfoo

in good years, we have figs in June and in September

4:09 am

jacq

my mum said her gooseberries weren't sweet this year either and she had a small crop too

4:10 am

rubyfoo

this has been an odd weather year

4:10 am

rubyfoo

hardly any snow or real cold, just a long, grey winter

4:10 am

jacq

it has been awful this year, after such a terrible winter we all needed a good warm summer, but alas nature has cheated us again

4:11 am

rubyfoo

how far north are you, jacq?

4:11 am

jacq

really ruby? we had record snowfalls and some places had -20c which was unprecedented, and everywhere you go you can see snow damaged trees and buildings

4:11 am

rubyfoo

in June, it stays light until after 11 but where yu are, maybe even later?

4:11 am

jacq

i'm in moray right on the north east coast

4:12 am

rubyfoo

that's so strange because we're in the foothills of the Alps

4:12 am

jacq

we still have light skies but it's been cloudy and grey most of the summer, a few nice days in may and some in june but not a summer at all

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I've only been in Glasgow and Edinburgh, but MANY years ago and only once

4:13 am

jacq

wow ruby, really? we were up aviemore way and there is still snow on some of the mountains, not much but for years now there has been none

4:13 am

rubyfoo

this has been a perfect summer with the best flowers in early June

4:13 am

jacq

the deer were actually down beside the harbour here looking for food the snow was so bad

4:13 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, mr. rubyfoo is bringing me his laundry.....

4:13 am

jacq

lol

4:15 am

jacq

i keep seeing theatre

4:15 am

rubyfoo

laundry in!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

better than movies! lol

4:16 am

jacq

i have laundry in and laundry out and hoping those big black clouds will empty somewhere else

4:16 am

rubyfoo

that is sad about the deer. We don't have any deer or rabbits or squirrels here, even though we're in the country. I think the French have eaten everything

4:17 am

jacq

lol ruby

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I don't hang out my wash, too lazy and tired!

4:17 am

jacq

there was talk of cancelling the deer cull because the winter was so bad many were starving to death, but th

4:17 am

m9f9l

even the frogs?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

no frogs hahah

4:17 am

jacq

but they opted to do the cull and kill off the weakest, starvation is a terrible death for anything

4:18 am

rubyfoo

that sounds much more humane

4:18 am

rubyfoo

in NY state they had to cull the deer every year as the population had no natural enemies (too few bears) and they wouldn't have made it. Dangerous, though, almost everyone I knew there had had a run-in with deer

4:19 am

jacq

there was a story at xmas about a lighthouse keeper and his wife, they lived on ther west coast of scotland and just before xmas she went to inverness (largest place for miles and miles) for shopping and xmas dinner and she didn't get home again till well into january because of the snow

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I've seen one toad in 12 summers!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

that's what she says!!!

4:19 am

jacq

wow that can't be good ruby, with no predators insects will thrive

4:19 am

m9f9l

ROFL ruby@!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, we have a bat cave in the cliff above the house, so no mosquitoes

4:20 am

jacq

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

4:20 am

rubyfoo

and we have a fish pond

4:20 am

rubyfoo

husband thinks his fish are too delicate to eat insects, NOT

4:20 am

jacq

LOL

4:21 am

rubyfoo

we don't use insecticides because of the dogs and birds so all of our apples and plums get wormy! eeew

4:22 am

jacq

ewww

4:22 am

rubyfoo

and the birds are so fat from the sunflower seeds, that the worms are too much trouble

4:22 am

jacq

wormy isn't as bad as half wormy

4:22 am

rubyfoo

double eeew

4:23 am

rubyfoo

we have lots of currants, though, and also black currants whicvh I leave for the birds because I don't like them

4:23 am

jacq

i had a salad in a fast food place (first time for years i ate in one of those places) the very last forkful had half a beetle in it

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I even tried making creme de cassis in the beginning but it was disgusting

4:23 am

rubyfoo

oh no!

4:23 am

m9f9l

ewww!

4:24 am

m9f9l

I have 13 left

4:24 am

rubyfoo

crunchy salad! you probably thought it was a walnut

4:24 am

jacq

my grand-daughters love blackcurrants, their clothes aren't so fond of them however

4:24 am

jacq

i was so sick, but the group i was with thought it was worth it because we got our meal for nothing and there were about 8 of us

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I made blackberry liqueur one year but it was too strong, even for me

4:24 am

jacq

lol

4:25 am

jacq

i've never had a fruit liqueur, unless you cound malibu

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I've heaqrd stories like that. Do restaurants still do that? You could bring your own insect to a 3-star place.....

4:25 am

rubyfoo

what is malibu?

4:26 am

jacq

malibu is a coconut and rum liqueur, very sweet and nice mmmmmmmmmmm

4:26 am

m9f9l

4:26 am

rubyfoo

it was delicious, but since it was sweet, it knocked me right over!

4:26 am

jacq

go m9

4:26 am

rubyfoo

oooh, that sounds good

4:27 am

jacq

if i ever visit france we can meet at the border and i'll smuggle a bottle for you

9:20 am

Christine

But know, if you do, you will be banished to the PB (penalty box) where we will feed you choclit and cheese

mine was out of food (gasp!) and so is more active than usual -- she just ate

9:30 am

dcseain

huh. it's cloud/rainy again. had a lot of that lately. rather unusual for Summer.

9:30 am

NonoNanette

Lord forbid Missy should ever run out of food. I would not be able to think straight with all her caterwaling if she did

9:31 am

dcseain

yes, Feldspar was WAY chatty. Still made her wait a few while i got myself together.

9:33 am

NonoNanette

what a pretty kitty Feldspar is! She reminds me of my Kittles who I had to have put down last year

9:33 am

dcseain

i find it odd that she doesn't chew through the bag. she only tries to chew through it if it's not open.

9:33 am

dcseain

thank you, and i'm sorry for your loss, Nono

9:34 am

NonoNanette

9:47 am

NonoNanette

Hi Christa, thats why I spend my mornings here

9:47 am

ChampFit

ChampFit

9:53 am

rururocks

ChampFit

Thanks ruru

10:13 am

rururocks

I move my ass alright, but I move too many calories in

ChampFit

Sadly, that's what you gotta do Scrabs! But it works, and good for you!!!

10:14 am

rururocks

yw rain.. good morning by the way

10:14 am

Scrabbler

I am watching carbs, and doing more intense exercise, including weights.

10:14 am

Scrabbler

hi rain

10:15 am

rururocks

I have played 16 sets of tennis this week

10:15 am

rururocks

three more today

10:15 am

ChampFit

Getting back to weights this week. I have a hard time taking that as seriously as cardio, which is wrong, of course!

10:15 am

ChampFit

Tennis is so popular...doubt I have the coordination ruru1

10:16 am

rururocks

it is soooooo fun though

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Ruru. Good for you. My tennis burn-out persists. I lost interest last winter.

10:16 am

ChampFit

unless i could find an indoor court, forget it! 98 and a billion percent humidity here...

10:16 am

rururocks

ooooooh

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Doing weight-work really helps wt loss--gets muscles burning calories mor than cardio.

10:17 am

rururocks

I hate humidity

10:17 am

ChampFit

never come visit me between May and mid-October :)

10:17 am

Scrabbler

High humidity is so oppressive.

10:17 am

rururocks

Maybe I'll train with weights in addition to the diet scrabs

10:18 am

rururocks

we don't have humidity here

10:18 am

ChampFit

can't hurt, and then you can kick people's arses! ;)

10:18 am

bichon

Hi ruru, scrabs, et al

10:18 am

ChampFit

hi!

10:18 am

Scrabbler

The quality of our doubles tennis sucked last winter so I lost my passion. I also focused on snowshoeing + cross-country skiing, then hiking in spring.

10:18 am

rururocks

gm bichon hi

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Men can lose weight quickly with weight training, because men have more muscle mass.

10:18 am

ChampFit

snow...that must be the white stuff I see on tv...

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon

bichon! QC!!! I was class of 86!

10:33 am

Scrabbler

I live in farm country so I take care of many farming families. I ask them about their work and learn so much.

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Is QC in Queens, NY?

scrabs, I was thinking of you - found a great website for learning Italian (not sure what your level is) - live mocha.com - you can read,write, speak and native speakers will give you feedback

10:36 am

JBV

it's free for the basic membership - only pay if you want more (I'm doing the free one)

I saw that, Champ, that was weird

10:43 am

HarryHood

my garden was technically in east brunswick

10:43 am

JBV

fortunately, I'm not in that club

10:43 am

JBV

the community garden?

10:43 am

ChampFit

have to say, so far the steriod pack is my best bud...much better today! onward!

10:43 am

Scrabbler

I have suffered from plantar fasciitis a few times--very frustrating.

10:43 am

HarryHood

yeah - it's now paved over for the rutgers equine program :(

10:44 am

ChampFit

first time for me scrabs...usually am very careful...but it snuck up on me anyway!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Champ--stretch a lot--from back down to foot, so that nothing is tight; use heel lifts

10:44 am

Scrabbler

I got it from tennis---pushing off.

10:45 am

mkg

ty! got the 8 and 9.

10:45 am

ChampFit

Champ, you can also massage your arch on a dowel.

10:47 am

Scrabbler

Bye HH

10:48 am

Kazzer99

Hi All - is lickety away at the moment?

10:48 am

ChampFit

my arch never bugs me! I have a neuromuscular massage therapist who's very helpful too...

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi Kazzer. I think so, as there have not been lists.

10:48 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

10:49 am

Scrabbler

JBV, I was reading www.linguasiciliana.org too.

hi scrabbler and champ and kazzer and harry

10:49 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby

10:49 am

ChampFit

hey ruby! how's the hubby?

10:50 am

mixi6

I had plantar fasciitis from an unstreched achilles tendon. put toes on step. slowly drop heels and hold (no bounce). Continue until it hurts then stop. work up to three minutes three times a day.( took me three months).

10:51 am

ChampFit

it's a cruddy thing, for sure

10:51 am

rubyfoo

one sec, harry, I just read over the chog. I was born at Kew Gardens Hospital, went to Queens College and my sister lives in Forest Hills!!!

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Yep, my episodes of p.f. took several months to resolve.

10:51 am

rubyfoo

champ, he is healing, I think, but feels discouraged and depressed

10:52 am

ChampFit

Poor guy! Is he finished with the shots and whatnot?

10:52 am

Scrabbler

It's a nuisance, Champ, and then suddenly, one day, you realize it is gone. I know an orthopedist, a foot + ankle specialist, that hates p.f.--so frustrating for him + patients.

10:52 am

mixi6

you will feel it stretch at the top of the calf.

10:52 am

bubba218

HI, has anyone posted a word list

10:52 am

rubyfoo

hi mixi and jbv and bubba

10:53 am

10:53 am

gremlinn has posted list

10:53 am

Thanks

10:53 am

I kept playing tennis--would take my arch before matches.

10:54 am

mkg

10:54 am

JBV

scrabs, just read back, saw your post, will bookmark that - I was reading bestofsicily.com - great site

10:54 am

rubyfoo

he refused the last course of shots as the dog is healthy and, happily, still in dog jail

10:54 am

stidgmere

Hello all. I was just talking to my Mother (who is 93) as i try to do each s

10:55 am

rubyfoo

is she stidgmamie?

10:55 am

Scrabbler

I will check that too, JBV. Sicilian is a challenging language to learn.

10:55 am

Scrabbler

Hi stidgmere--wow, 93--is she happy + comfortable?

10:56 am

bubba218

For plantar fasciitis, I usually recommend, 1. Stretching, elevation of the heels, rolling the arch with an ice soda can, If that is not enough, then NSAID's, psoible injections, definately strapping of the foot. Then if not enough orthotics. The literature is pretty clear that 90-95 of people are better with conservative care in 6 monhts. There is also extracorpeal shock wave therapy and surgery for resistant cases.

10:56 am

Scrabbler

Yay for the orthpod Bubba!!

10:56 am

redturtlehead

Hi All! Including Bubba...

10:56 am

Scrabbler

Ice soda can is great idea.

10:56 am

stidgmere

Champ, I find the use of Smartwool socks very soothing. They have various styles and the ones with the most foot padding are best. We all have our little hints.

10:57 am

rubyfoo

hello red!

10:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi Red--how was your night in the ED?

10:57 am

Scrabbler

TY, Bubba, for your input.

10:57 am

redturtlehead

It was very irritating. I had to take care of an inmate and the guard would not leave anyone alone.. he irritated everyone.

10:57 am

Scrabbler

But it was for your safety, right, Red?

10:58 am

stidgmere

No, my mother, rubyfoo would be stidgranny if she were on babble, but she is not able to do such games anymore.

10:58 am

bubba218

I hope it helps, PF ios a pain in the foot, so to speak

10:58 am

mixi6

I also found k-swiss shoes easiest on the foot.

10:58 am

rubyfoo

see you later, must stir dinner

10:58 am

ChampFit

bye

10:58 am

Scrabbler

Bye Ruby

10:58 am

redturtlehead

Bubba, I have been running pain free with those Tuli's heel cups. I seem to have to keep using them, will it eventually cause me a problem? I prefer the heel cups to not running.

10:58 am

rubyfoo

in France they call grandmothers mamie! it's very cute

10:58 am

ChampFit

I have several friends who are "Mimi"

10:59 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

10:59 am

redturtlehead

Italian grannies in America are often called Nonnie.

10:59 am

rubyfoo

we go to a resto in the village where they are both named Michel (and Michelle) and everybody calls them mimi

10:59 am

Scrabbler

My friend's first grandson named her Mimi, and that has stuck with 3 grandkids now.

10:59 am

dpomfr

has lickety given up?

10:59 am

bubba218

If the heel cups work, use them. They shouldn't cause any problems. I find that most of the effect is that they raise the heel in the running shoes.

10:59 am

stidgmere

Yes, Scrabbler, mother is quite happy. My husband just visited her last week for a couple of days. She enjoys the spa at the care center and has the best of care.

10:59 am

Scrabbler

Probably away, dp

11:00 am

redturtlehead

No it was not for my safety, Scrabbler, the guard was chatting with me, or anyone else who would listen to him. Prisoner was ill, and would not have hurt me in a million years, plus he was shackled head to toe.

11:00 am

Scrabbler

Aging is quite challenging.

11:00 am

crosshair

anyone know any good exercises for sciatica? damn pain runs right up my leg and across my butt,lately after 15 min of driving it gets so bad i have to stop and stretch before carrying on;(

11:00 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

11:00 am

crosshair

scrabbs!

11:00 am

ChampFit

Oooh crossy...my massage therapist took that on, and after several visits it was better.

11:00 am

Scrabbler

I have had 3 episodes of that, Crossy. Neuralgia is wicked bad pain!!!

11:00 am

redturtlehead

yes, I had a problem with the back of the shoe rubbing at the spot where my achilles had "frayed out" much better now.

11:01 am

Scrabbler

Hyperextend lower back.

11:01 am

crosshair

it gets so bad i can hardly use the acelerator

11:01 am

ChampFit

two strings walk into a bar...

11:01 am

crosshair

fraid not

11:01 am

Scrabbler

I remember, Crossy.

11:01 am

crosshair

lol

11:01 am

dan2bit

woo hoo passed 100 - is there a list about?

11:01 am

stidgmere

I wear Merrill shoes that have no back. They are most comfy. High heels are too much of a fashion statement for this dame de certain age.

11:02 am

Scrabbler

Go Dan! I read that Gremlinn has a list.

11:02 am

redturtlehead

I like those shoes stidg, they are just not very good for running...

11:02 am

stidgmere

Oh, Champ and Crossy I am not sure this Babbler can take many more jokes like that.

11:03 am

crosshair

at the flip this morn,i watched chugga do the grid in 13 minutes!!!!

11:03 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my, it is noon and I am still a slug on the couch.

11:03 am

dan2bit

ty Scrabbs - indeed gremlinn does

11:03 am

crosshair

not to worry today is slug day

11:03 am

Scrabbler

Really, Crossy? With no list?

11:04 am

redturtlehead

it's Ok scrabbs, I am having trouble walking after my quarry run yesterday...

11:04 am

Scrabbler

Yep, it is a dark, gloomy, rainy day.

11:04 am

crosshair

not that i know of scrabbs just the odd chog clue

11:04 am

crosshair

even beat gremlinn to the finish

11:04 am

redturtlehead

sunshine here, but legs killing me.

11:04 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbs, they offerred me a days position at work, and I can't decide now.

11:05 am

Scrabbler

I am wiped out from mountain biking over the last 2 days.

11:05 am

ChampFit

31 left, bbl...going to put on a pot of spaghetti sauce...*poof*

11:05 am

Scrabbler

Less money but better hours--tough decision.

11:05 am

redturtlehead

the moeny at night is good and the nurses on days are a little wee bit bitchy.

11:06 am

crosshair

wow!! the humidex has it feeling over 38c out there today.thank god it is my day off and i am inside with my fans;)

11:06 am

Scrabbler

Bitchy co-workers = nightmare. I lived that for 12 yrs!

11:06 am

redturtlehead

It is healthier also to work days in general, but we shall see, I am enjoying saving this pile of cash...

11:07 am

Scrabbler

Wonderful Red.

11:07 am

crosshair

better lifestyle and better workmates in exchange for a tad less cash=good deal in my books

11:07 am

Scrabbler

But Red gets more money for working night shift

11:08 am

crosshair

money does not make up for a pain in the ass workplace

11:08 am

crosshair

as you know scrabbs

11:09 am

crosshair

life is too short to work with/for idiots

11:10 am

stidgmere

Why is it some workplaces are hell on earth and others are such interesting, rewarding places?

11:11 am

crosshair

i used to make over 60k doing courrier work in toronto for northern telecom..was loaded but miserable..came up here in 89,i make much less than that,but can bike,swim,kayak,ski..it is far better

11:12 am

Scrabbler

I did learn that. Check out the book, The No A**hole Rule by Bob_____. I read the book, e-mailed with him, and knew I had to escape from the toxicity of the narcissistic boss + his 3 poisonous aides.

11:12 am

crosshair

and not having to dodge bullets and drug deals is an added bonus;)

11:13 am

Scrabbler

How awful Crossy!

11:14 am

crosshair

if you have a job you love,one that gets you out of bed raring to go,one you would do for free if it came to it,then it does not matter if you live in a shack;)

11:15 am

crosshair

as long as your warm in the winter,have food on the plate,and clothes on the back and health

11:15 am

Scrabbler

That wisdom is something we have learned from experience. Young people need time to learn.

11:15 am

crosshair

indeed,the chasing after the brass ring is no godd,one finds it tarnishes easily

11:16 am

crosshair

good

11:17 am

redturtlehead

well the odd thing is that the money is better and the people are generally better at night, I just know that days may be better for my health and running in the long run...

11:17 am

redturtlehead

I need to calculate it out how much...

11:17 am

crosshair

before my bouts with the big C,i used to be a type A tightly wound asshole that made lots of buck,drank lots of starbucks and was in step to get my 401 k and my first heart attack on the same day;/

11:18 am

crosshair

whatever makes you happy and healthy red

11:18 am

Scrabbler

Often a life crisis put things into better perspective.

11:18 am

crosshair

it does indeed

11:18 am

PeggySue

crosshair - look up McKenzie exercises for your sciatica. I just got over a wicked 3 month episode. I worked with spine physical therapy and these exercises are what were life saving for me!

11:19 am

crosshair

because of the big c,i learned it ten years sooner that i would of otherwise;)

11:19 am

crosshair

ty peggy i will def look it up

11:21 am

crosshair

mm.so the cause is my 3 old herniated disks in my neck...mmm

11:22 am

Scrabbler

If pain is in your butt + back of thigh you probably have a herniation of lumbar disc(s)

11:22 am

crosshair

damn machinery is falling apart lol

11:22 am

stidgmere

Just want to see what I've done to my icon. When stidmama comes over she will fix it. Hope I don't have the huge picture that will slog the chog.

11:22 am

crosshair

so it would not be from the 3 i know of in my neck scrabbs?

11:22 am

redturtlehead

looks good stidmere...

11:22 am

crosshair

slogging the chog..i like that

11:23 am

stidgmere

Okay. Same one, at least it isn't too big. Talk about being a slow learner.

11:24 am

stidgmere

Well, I shall go look at the blue berries and such. Hope your day goes well.

11:25 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Stidg

11:25 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, sciatica is caused by lumbar disk herniation

11:27 am

crosshair

so,hyperextension,by doing and holding a half push up for a minute or so at a time...

11:28 am

crosshair

and doing half a indian sit and bending over affected leg...that sort of thing

11:29 am

crosshair

cause i am damned tired of popping pills for everything

11:29 am

Scrabbler

Hyperextension of lumbar vertebrae allows herniated portion of disk to no longer push on nerve root.

11:30 am

crosshair

but the heria is still there of course,so the exercise should be a regular part of the lifestyle?

11:31 am

crosshair

like the ones in my neck i know are still there if i twist or turn my head wrong,but ill not be cut open and stand a 50% chance of needing 2 canes after

11:32 am

crosshair

i have seen to many people come out of those operations crippled for life

11:32 am

crosshair

lol,sorry chog,me and my bulging disks are stealing the chog;))

11:34 am

crosshair

and besides my foot only turns in when i am tired or have walked a lot in the day..not like those poor buggers after some operations

11:34 am

Scrabbler

Nope, I cam switching back + forth with another word game.

11:34 am

crosshair

lol,enough about crossy;)

11:34 am

Scrabbler

Always try conservative medical treatment if you can.

11:35 am

crosshair

i agree scrabbs

11:35 am

Scrabbler

I have had 3 episodes of herniated disks--with time I healed.

11:36 am

crosshair

my neck ones eased over 4 years,but they let me know they are there from time to time,was bad pulling in the arms and shoulders at first

11:37 am

JBV

stopping in for a clue - any help with the F - I have 9

11:37 am

crosshair

mm,i only have 5,so no help here i am afraid;(

11:38 am

JBV

and scrabs, I have the same history with herniated disks, no problems now for about 20 years, but I'd say remember the basic lifestyle advice - of sitting, standing, walking, bending and picking up things always with your back in mind

11:38 am

Scrabbler

I have f4 x 4

11:38 am

crosshair

have those

11:38 am

Scrabbler

Yes, so tr4, JBV. I often get twinges of sciatica down my left thigh and fe4 a relapse.

11:39 am

crosshair

and a f6 /27

11:39 am

crosshair

i dread the day my neck disk come back full force

11:39 am

Scrabbler

I just found fe4 (gala) + pl, and fe4 (cheese)

11:40 am

Scrabbler

TY, Crossy. I have 9/11 F's now

Third Important Lesson - "Remember Those Who Serve"

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "50Â¢," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "35Â¢!" she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.

When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip...thought for the day

1:47 pm

dofith

We don't have native bunnies - they were introduced here as a food source for the arly settlers, then because they have no predators here, they thrived and became a guge problem for farmers

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her."

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

there is nothing our kitties love more than a pile of clothes. they aren't fussy; dirty, clean, wet or ironed it's all the same to them. we have all colours of cats so it doesn't matter what it is there are hairs on it.

Ha4/9 everyone! He4/5 is a story of clues. I aw5/26 this morning with the intention of finishing this grid early. But I had a very busy day and didn't start the grid until after having ea 5/10 dinner.Since I was ne 4/4 to the finish line, I stopped to take a nap. When I re 7/40, I came back to babble.I came to chog only to enter into a very ee 5/10 silence. I fe 4/7ed once again I killed the chat log. I seem to be very good at that fe 4/7. But then some chatter began to en5/12 So I was su4/5 it wasn't I who killed chog. Anyway, it does not hu 4/6 my feelings if people don't notice my entrance.I do not shed a te 4/4 over it. I know they are eit5/12 engrossed in puzzle or surfing the web.I love this chatroom though. I would ra 4/4 it #1! My hubby ra 5/10 it negative th 5/12 though. He wants to kick me in the re 4/4 every time I babble. I think he feels th 8/45ed by the people he4/5.He always th 9/60 to get rid of computer for good.Well, th5/12 is my story. I hope you we 4/5 able to find more words with this.By the way,only some of this story is tr4/5 So now I am going to get up onto my fe 4/7 and take a shower. Then I am going to get some PJs to we 4/8 and reti 4/4 for the night. Goodnight to all babblers!

Jacula

Hi all. I've been away for the weekend but have gleaned that there's no lickety or BabAnon stats since I finished the grid. It wasnt too bad a grid, so you probably don't need stats anyway, and there are lots of great cluers around. Anyway, I've put the stats in my profile and on BabAnon now, should anyone need them.

8:50 pm

Minveryork

I beat the Letterblox queen featherbee by one. She must have been distracted by someone or something

8:50 pm

Thank you Jacula, but I have a list in my profile also

The candle burning in my profile is not only for Jellen's Tim now, but also for an ex-b/f of mine who had his funeral on Friday 13th at 4pm. I couldn't be at his funeral, but I knew he was going out to Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell at 4pm that day, and so I played it for him.

8:53 pm

dcseain

i'm sorry for your loss, jac

8:53 pm

Jacula

Hi Min and DCS.

8:54 pm

Jacula

dcs - not so much my loss, since it's many years now since we were together, but for his widow, yes. I was sad, though.

sorreee- *slinks off to PB* is there chocolate here?

9:09 pm

Jacula

No idea what's in the PB. If it was up to me, Haz and FMitch, it would be stale bread and water, and hairshirts. Other Babblers seem to think differently, though. LOL

9:16 pm

Jacula

Crossy - I love nothing better than a bacon sandwich with the bacon fat soaked into the bread. But none of us should do that too often - diet police/health police say so.

9:16 pm

Jacula

Crossy - I'mm make you one of my special Quiches soon.

9:16 pm

crosshair

mmm

9:17 pm

Jacula

Lots of bacon, full-fat Chddar cheese, home-made shortcrust pastry etc. Plus onions fried in butter.

9:18 pm

Jacula

You can eat it on Babble with no calories counted.

9:18 pm

crosshair

well today was my one day a month for bacon,so i did it full justice

9:18 pm

Jacula

What did you have?

9:18 pm

daykat

jac, sounds loverly (nibbling on a celery stick)

9:20 pm

Jacula

day - you do know that you can eat anything you like so long as you do it in moderation? It's better to have a full range of food in your diet than to restrict yourself.

9:20 pm

crosshair

started with a full Canadian north woods brekkie of over easy jumbo eggs,hash browns with valencia onions fried in butter,a few maple and honey breakfast saussages,a stack of crispy english muffies with apple jelly or fresh raspberry jam,all washed down with ice cold fresh sqqueezed oj

9:20 pm

and bacon of course

9:21 pm

9:23 pm

9:23 pm

Jacula

Crossy - blimey! I could never eat all of that (and don't like hash browns anyway), but I'm glad you made the most of your once a month meal.

9:24 pm

crosshair

9:25 pm

crosshair

9:25 pm

Jacula

It's funny you in US and many in Europe call Macaroni Cheese , macaroni and cheese. My version of that is 'to die for' according to one of my son's former schoolfriends.

9:25 pm

daykat

last night I made a risotto with mushrooms, fresh greens from the garden, and (of course) bacon bits and home made chicken stock

9:26 pm

In Oz it's Macaroni Cheese

9:26 pm

I had tooo much God, having gone to a Chruch school, and hadn't seen too much evidence of the 'offical Good's' love, having grown up just after WWII, and even WWI, then Vietnam happening, even here in UK. I guess I'm a pagan, and I'm proud to be one. A human being that recognises that there might be a higher powr (probably, a more intelligent race from outer space) but doesn't really care if there is or there isn't. I just rejoice in nature with all its mysteries and wonders.
