You couldn't get the laptop onto a little harness - like the old-time cinema usherettes?

I think my Lickety Expert is broken. :-( I tried refreshing and I still have the grid from the weekend. I refresh clues and I get the words I added today but the grid doesn't change

6:56 am

6:58 am

herinfernallady

AsGreen

hi herin! I'm good - I'm not on your list? at one point I think I got teased by my hubby about not knowing my friends...so I "cleaned it up" a bit. Sorry about that!

7:00 am

herinfernallady

:( Sad. I was just hopping you were ok. I thought as much

7:01 am

AsGreen

Trying to be a better role model for kiddos - about "knowing" who they chat with. They entered middle school - a whole new ball 'o wax

7:01 am

Read-Knit-Bake

Morning all...My Lickety is still on Sat as well and have tried several ways to get updated...strange...never had issue before. ALso my Lickety no longer retains the words if I leave the site before finishing. Just noting in case anyone else has the same problem..otherwise all is well. :)

7:02 am

carleekat

rkb... log right out of expert..clean your cookies and temp files...and then log back in

7:02 am

herinfernallady

I understand Green I was just hopping you were ok.

7:02 am

carleekat

and morning rbk :)

7:02 am

Anniebrook

RKB, if you leave the site before finishing, when you return click on "send words to clues"..this is for Babble Expert

7:03 am

AsGreen

I came on a day or two ago and tried a grid.... then they all got big again so I used that as an excuse not to do; today's seems a good size, but tougher than I thought!

7:03 am

AsGreen

how's everything w/you herin?

7:03 am

herinfernallady

Green You may be on my fl on FB but I am not sure of your real name (it is ok i did try and remember)

Buttonman

7:32 am

Mom

Mom

Amen, Norma

7:55 am

Norma

I have never been able to do it and finish without clues ... I am a sad case lol

7:55 am

Mom

no you are not Norma. I couldn't finish even with the clues

7:56 am

Norma

Thanks Mom I feel better for that lol

7:56 am

flosey

yes Norma, I certainly do appreciate those who have finished earlier posting the clues, I would have been a total mess without them

7:56 am

Mom

7:59 am

flosey

lovely wedding pictures

8:00 am

EvaNadine

thankyou flosey :)

8:06 am

flosey

need a cup of coffee, perhaps that would help me wake up!

8:06 am

flosey

brb

8:07 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:08 am

jmcnrick

why do you think it is that whenever i open up my browser window on a computer babble is on top? :-)

8:09 am

Anniebrook

Again I was thrown out of Babble..back after much climbing

8:10 am

jmcnrick

*throws annie a rope*

8:10 am

Norma

Sorry jmc don't know enough about computers, but perhaps you have got it in your startup routine?

8:10 am

Anniebrook

thanks jmc, needed a rope

8:11 am

jmcnrick

i think it is because it is the last thing i do every night!

8:11 am

Anniebrook

EvaN, your wedding pics are lovely

8:11 am

jmcnrick

they are very nice Evan

8:13 am

EvaNadine

thankyou. :)
not many posted up there yet, but got a few good ones!

8:14 am

jmcnrick

unusual boquet

8:14 am

EvaNadine

which is just my style. :)

8:21 am

jmcnrick

its good to do you wedding in your own style rather than a cookie cutter model

8:21 am

MollyL

And oh, they are all so cookie cutter these days. Same style dress, same hair style, same tiara, etc.

8:21 am

jmcnrick

it is the use of "wedding planners" that i blame

8:22 am

jmcnrick

and having people learn to dance to do the "first dance"

8:23 am

EvaNadine

we did the general flow in a mostly-traditional way, but we definitely had very specific personal touches throughout.

8:24 am

jmcnrick

but traditional is fine if that is what expresses you

8:24 am

jmcnrick

it is the people who do things because they are "suppose to" that i am talking about

8:24 am

EvaNadine

i think my mother was stunned at first when i said i wouldnt be wearing a veil, but that i WOULD be wearing orange shoes.
once she saw everything put together, she totally understood my vision. :)

8:25 am

jmcnrick

i know you made all the decisions on your wedding -- all of babbleland was part of it

8:25 am

jmcnrick

:-) and happy to be part of it

8:25 am

MollyL

I know someone else who incorporated Fall colors into a Fall wedding and it was beautiful. And such a nice change from the "usual colors".

8:26 am

EvaNadine

our pastor did an amazing job with the ceremony. i knew he would do good, but it really was the loveliest ceremony i have ever experienced. i know im biased, but he just made it so personal.

and then, when it was time to exchange vows, chris got down on his knee. he explained the it was to show honor to me.
i thought that was very sweet.

8:29 am

MollyL

Happy memories Eva. Did someone videotape for you?

8:30 am

EvaNadine

we didnt videotape it.
i had considered it, but everyone i know you taped it said they have only watched it once or twice ever.

8:31 am

MollyL

Yep, same here. Good on you for saving the money.

8:31 am

Read-Knit-Bake

hi all. I a think I am looking for a third re and can't seem to find it at all. Have the resew and the reslash..???? Help on the third. THX

8:31 am

Read-Knit-Bake

that's a re 5

8:31 am

EvaNadine

i could have potentially gotten it done for free, as i have a friend who does that for a living, but i dont like asking for freebies, and he didnt offer, so i just decided not to bother with it.

8:32 am

Read-Knit-Bake

oops not reslash - sorry t throw you off.

8:32 am

hurshy

my grandad just stuck his videocamera in a handy spot and let it run. we don't watch it but if you were to end up in a 50-First-Dates situation i suppose it would come in handy.

8:35 am

hurshy

read-knit, do you need "happen again" for a 5?

8:37 am

Read-Knit-Bake

yes I do

8:37 am

flosey

can you clue the re5 before that one, please?

8:37 am

Read-Knit-Bake

wow I am not paying attention. I have that one already. Have just the one to go and working at the same time..not a good combo. :)

8:38 am

hurshy

i haven't got a 5 before that yet. i just have a 4 before that. "back".

8:39 am

flosey

ok, thanks

8:39 am

hurshy

found it - r + **** homo

8:40 am

flosey

hmmm, guess you can't recry!

8:40 am

flosey

thanks hurshy

8:40 am

hurshy

anyone have the bottom r?

8:41 am

NonoNanette

good morning babblers :)

8:41 am

flosey

yes, ra6/33

8:41 am

Read-Knit-Bake

re + double consonant + vowel. Finally!

8:42 am

NonoNanette

bottorm r - to make something really strange

8:42 am

flosey

thanks RKB

8:46 am

hurshy

aha, thanks

8:46 am

hurshy

i have qu6/27 and qu4/9, what's the other Q?

8:47 am

hurshy

ooh it's a 7/40, pulled a peri!

8:47 am

hurshy

what is the M?

8:47 am

flosey

qu6/27 before the others, q + 2 vowels

8:47 am

EvaNadine

oh good lord!!!!

8:48 am

flosey

sorry, was cluing a 6 that you have

8:48 am

EvaNadine

my mother just g-chatted me to ask me if im ignoring her -- all because i didnt respond to one of several emails that she sent me yesterday, an hour before i left work.

8:48 am

EvaNadine

*UGH*

8:49 am

EvaNadine

(not to mention that said email was not only to invite herself over, but also informing me i would be cooking dinner)

8:49 am

hurshy

mothers. :P

8:50 am

flosey

my my, Eva!

8:50 am

MollyL

m = birthplace of Muhammed

8:50 am

hurshy

oh thank you molly!

8:50 am

Judi

Good morning, dwellers in Babbleland.

8:51 am

flosey

morning Judi

8:51 am

MollyL

Heya Judi

8:51 am

hurshy

how about clues for the long ones? 8 and 9's?

8:52 am

flosey

the 2 9s follow ri8/50

8:52 am

flosey

ri8 is a compound word

8:52 am

MollyL

Insane words. ri 5/12 is what you use to shred a potato. Then add auto to the end, then add an e to that.

8:53 am

flosey

if it was ra, it would make more sense ! imho

8:53 am

hurshy

the endings seem to indicate that it's like, from latin or something, don't you think?

8:54 am

EvaNadine

*serenity now*

8:54 am

MollyL

They aren't compound words. They are musical terms.

8:54 am

flosey

still a compound

8:55 am

MollyL

Eva that sounds like a feminine hygiene product. : D

8:55 am

smaandmea

Hi there. Do the 9s have the same first 4 letters as ri8?

8:56 am

flosey

just add a letter, smaandmea

8:56 am

flosey

in both 9s

8:56 am

smaandmea

Thank you all - weird, weird words

8:57 am

flosey

to me they were

8:58 am

hurshy

i've just mailed my order form for a local, humanely raised turkey!

8:59 am

Judi

As opposed to... a turkey raised by wolves?

9:00 am

hurshy

i'm so pleased, because when about a week and a half ago it was suddenly suggested that i host thanksgiving after all, i was not sure if i would be in time to get one.

9:00 am

hurshy

as opposed to a factory farmed turkey. raised in cramped conditions, force fed an unnatural diet, possibly pumped full of antibiotics and/or hormones...

9:01 am

flosey

so true hurshy, you are lucky that you were able to get one

9:01 am

Judi

Free range, organic turkeys are delicious. My MIL usually gets one. Alas, I will miss out this year.

9:02 am

Habes

Morning everyone

9:02 am

flosey

morning Habes

9:02 am

hurshy

unfortunately the term "free range" has no legal meaning and "organic" can still include inhumane treatment, so, i wanted to choose carefully.

9:02 am

Judi

Gosh. This is another stinker puzzle.

9:03 am

flosey

yes it is, Judi, seems they usually are when so short

9:03 am

Judi

True again, Hurshy.

9:04 am

Mr Bob

Good morning everyone

9:04 am

hurshy

Haz1558

Bonjour, madame!

10:19 am

Atalante

Je suis fatiguee. J'ai fait le data entry tout le jour

10:20 am

MollyL

The r from the bottom row means to make richer, usually applying to air.

10:20 am

Haz1558

Le data entry est prone de vous donner un cas d'ennui.

10:21 am

SeaSpray

great clue Molly ty

10:21 am

Atalante

Oui. C'est vrai. Very vrai

10:21 am

Haz1558

Maintenant il faut trouver les mots utiles.

10:22 am

Haz1558

<--------- les mots sont la, but il est debatable si beauoup de them sont very utiles.

10:23 am

Haz1558

Le canard sucky est dificile as well.

10:24 am

Atalante

tres difficile! Je ne l'aime pas!

10:24 am

Haz1558

Il est even difficile de speller correctement.

10:25 am

Xcelle

FMitch

Je suis completed it avec ma premier tasse de tea.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Bonjour, crosshair. Nous parlons franglais today.

10:26 am

Xcelle

which way does the second letter go

10:26 am

MollyL

When you have been married to a French speaker, you learn how to mangle the language.

10:27 am

FMitch

Hi crossy Mollly Xcel et Hax et Ata :)

10:27 am

Haz1558

FM est smug.

10:27 am

crosshair

i have to be careful with french,generally i know just enough to get my face slapped

10:28 am

FMitch

Xcel go up and the move to the righ hand column

10:28 am

Haz1558

ra6 - first three letters of the unusual ra4/4, then a word of possibility (two letters) finish with the sometimes vowel.

10:28 am

Atalante

aha! canard sucky vanquishee!

10:29 am

Haz1558

Grandpere serait tres proud.

10:29 am

Atalante

j'espere!

10:29 am

FMitch

Un peu de smug ici mais bocoup de mal a la tete avec aujhourdhis grid.

10:29 am

FMitch

It was hard work!

10:29 am

Haz1558

Tu n'as jamais spoken un mot plus true, FM.

10:30 am

FMitch

LOL

10:30 am

Atalante

which mot ete le truest?

10:31 am

Xcelle

thanks but that letter is going to confuse me,

10:31 am

Haz1558

Tu es trop literal, je think.

10:31 am

MollyL

What letter are you talking about Xcelle?

10:32 am

Xcelle

the r-0/1

10:32 am

FMitch

The bottom r Molly

10:32 am

FMitch

or is it the left hand one Excel?

10:33 am

Xcelle

the bottom r

10:33 am

Atalante

literal est bon

10:34 am

crosshair

wow! is this grid tough!!

10:34 am

Haz1558

r plus first three letters of Mr Onassis, letter after e, finish with the sometimes vowel. OR have you heard of the wonderment of morewords.com?

10:34 am

FMitch

The ri8,9,9 gave me a real run around.

10:35 am

MollyL

ra + scary movies ter***y me

10:35 am

MollyL

Oh me too FM. What strange ri words they are.

10:35 am

Haz1558

It's not an easy grid, crosshair. Written in understatement font.

10:36 am

Atalante

Je ne suis pas doing le grid au jourd'hui

10:36 am

FMitch

PErhaps tomorrow will tax our endurance rather than little grey cells.

10:37 am

FMitch

Tres bon idee Ata.

10:37 am

Haz1558

Ata est une wimp.

10:37 am

Xcelle

who is mr onassis?

10:37 am

FMitch

*giggle*

10:37 am

Atalante

you wouldn't do the grid either if you'd suffered what I've suffered today!

10:37 am

MollyL

You can do a Google search on that Xcelle

10:38 am

Haz1558

He married Jacqueline Kennedy after JFK was killed.

10:38 am

FMitch

and what have you suffered dear?

10:38 am

crosshair

a common cluing promt in here xcelle

10:38 am

Atalante

training on how to use our new telephones at KWT. Guess how long it took?

10:38 am

FMitch

Xcel - look at Mollys clue at 10.35

10:39 am

FMitch

2 hours?

10:39 am

Haz1558

7 hours and 52 minutes, approximately.

10:39 am

FMitch

perhaps Haz but she is getting paid for it none the less :)

10:39 am

Atalante

1 1/2 hours. It's a *phone*!

10:40 am

Haz1558

Only an hour and a half? You can't have grasped all the complexities in that time.

10:40 am

FMitch

Did they teach you how to transfer calls or is that saved for part 2?

10:40 am

Atalante

oh yes. call transferring, call parking, call holding, call goodness knows whatting

10:41 am

FMitch

uh oh sounds like the forgot the actual how to speak to the caller *sheesh*

10:41 am

crosshair

we buy the latest gadgets to simplify our lives and in so doing make thing so complex we catch ourselves yearning for a good book by a kerosine lamp with a wireless radio playing softly in the background

10:41 am

Haz1558

Telephone manner is awfully important.

10:41 am

Atalante

we now have the same phones that they use in the fake offices on 24, apparently

10:42 am

FMitch

I spent a happy hour reading a honest-to-goodness book whilst my car was being MOT'd

10:42 am

Haz1558

Goodness. I'd be impressed if I'd ever watched 24.

10:43 am

Atalante

so would I lol

10:43 am

Haz1558

Was that a selling point for the system? 'They have these in a fake office'

10:43 am

Jeff7

help w/the ae 5/12 pleas...

10:43 am

Jeff7

please

10:44 am

Haz1558

ae5/12 - ae plus the initials of the American secret service people.

10:44 am

Atalante

the trainer was very impresse with the fact. they use them on holby city too

10:44 am

Jeff7

ty

10:44 am

crosshair

my wife is the t.v fiend,i hardly watch it.last thing i watched though was a interesting programme on the diamond trade in india and the sweat shops they use to cut,mount and market the stones

10:44 am

Jeff7

tuff tuff words today!

10:45 am

crosshair

ty haz

10:45 am

Haz1558

Holby City as well? My goodness, do they perform operations?

10:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:45 am

Xcelle

well my mind is going all over the place i must be blind

10:46 am

Atalante

at least!

10:46 am

Haz1558

Are you still trying to find that ra6 from the bottom? Sometimes it's best to move on and come back to a word. Or you can always look up www.morewords.com.

10:47 am

Haz1558

I kind of lost faith in Holby City after they forced a surgeon to carry out a heart transplant at gunpoint while equipped with a torch, a stanley knife and a kitchen table.

10:47 am

Atalante

ra + ***f raff + sometimes vowel

10:47 am

Atalante

goodness! I don't remember that!

10:48 am

FMitch

Neither do I, she is making it up Ata.

10:48 am

Haz1558

ra , then veer to the right, use the three letters up the right hand side of the grid, finish with y.

10:49 am

Haz1558

Okay, maybe it wasn't a heart transplant, but there was definitely open heart stuff going on and guns being waved about.

10:49 am

Atalante

she's full of exaggeration today

10:49 am

FMitch

and giving letters away with gay abandon. I don't know what has come over her!

10:49 am

Haz1558

Moi?

10:49 am

Atalante

she'll be using !!!!! next

10:50 am

FMitch

oui, tu!

10:50 am

Haz1558

I know, I can tell you're shocked. But maybe knowing that y is the sometimes vowel will be the clue to cracking ra6.

10:50 am

FMitch

IF she does that we know it is time for her meds.

10:50 am

crosshair

"if napoleons field surgeons can do a leg amputation in 17 seconds,anything is possible lol

10:51 am

Haz1558

Is that why he was so short?

10:51 am

Haz1558

They cut off parts of his legs?

10:51 am

FMitch

It's amazing what you can do with the inside of a loo roll and some sticky backed plastic :)

10:51 am

Haz1558

The things you learn here.

10:51 am

crosshair

lol,no he is short cause josephine used to keep him in the closet at home

10:51 am

Haz1558

Why, what have you made, FM?

10:52 am

FMitch

lol don't be obtuse Haz.

10:53 am

Atalante

but George isn't short and he's kept in a cupboard

10:53 am

Haz1558

It's a big cupboard.

FMitch

10:55 am

redshoes

10:55 am

Haz1558

10:55 am

Haz1558

Hello, red.

10:55 am

vdddvddd

thank you

10:56 am

Haz1558

Or, to be obtuse, ay plus half a backwards laughing fence.

10:56 am

Haz1558

We don't get enough backwards clues these days.

10:56 am

crosshair

i wonder why...

10:56 am

crosshair

lol

10:56 am

FMitch

8 out of 10 for that one Haz :)

10:56 am

Atalante

I like diagonal clues

10:56 am

Atalante

with a twist of multidimensionality

10:57 am

Haz1558

Twisted, in other words.

10:57 am

redshoes

ata likes things twisted. I think we can all agree to take that one out of context and run with it.

10:57 am

Atalante

spiralled

10:58 am

Atalante

10:59 am

FMitch

Bye reds

11:00 am

Haz1558

Bye redshoes.

11:00 am

Haz1558

We'll see if you're still as happy once you've worked your way through the grid, donnie.

11:00 am

Haz1558

But it's nice to see someone with optimism and a spring in their step.

11:01 am

Atalante

maybe I should do the grid

11:01 am

Haz1558

Maybe you should. It might set you up for the rest of the day.

11:01 am

donnie828

I want to get just a few of them, I have no pretensions of finishing a grid. I get excited if I get 100 words. LOL

11:02 am

Atalante

but I keep seeing macrame

11:02 am

FMitch

Back in 5.

11:02 am

Haz1558

You've got the right attitude, donnie, enjoyment is the key.

11:03 am

Haz1558

Right, going to take Spangle out for a quick stroll before teatime. It's cold and frosty here so I'd better wrap up. Toodle-oo!

11:04 am

Atalante

lucky SPangle!

11:05 am

donnie828

Just for the heck of it I am working two puzzles at one time. Crazy, but interesting. I don't know if you have been in chi.lexigames.com but they are free and they have a twisted word game. I usually work on these two each morning. Thanks Haz1558.

12:22 pm

vdddvddd

sorry for stuttering

12:23 pm

MollyL

There are two ec 4/6's. One is what bounces off a mountain when you yell, one is ec + not she but...

12:23 pm

varumba

ec4/6 = what you hear in a valley when someone shouts at one end

12:23 pm

trentsnana

I don't get it, either - that clue would make it ecey and that doesn't work

12:24 pm

12:24 pm

varumba

12:24 pm

varumba

no, oyu have to get the ec4/6 first

12:24 pm

trentsnana

crosshair

4:21 pm

Jellen

Hi, ardilla

4:22 pm

MollyL

Carlee, it's time for some deep breaths and a hot bath. The worst thing you can do to yourself is let these emotional theatrics make you physically ill.

4:22 pm

MollyL

Hi Ardilla. How are you feeling?

4:23 pm

carleekat

i'm trying molls....i'm trying

4:23 pm

periwinkle

4:24 pm

ardilla

molly, i can't shake this icky cough...i'm so very tired...like someone stole my energy

4:24 pm

MollyL

Cyber friends rally around to have Carlee's back. That is pure sisterhood. Amen.

4:25 pm

carleekat

it is rather....yes....makes me smile..really...

4:25 pm

MollyL

Ardilla (being a Mom here) have you had a chest x-ray? Are you sure this isn't pneumonia?

4:25 pm

ardilla

can you use the purple crayon to make him go away...trying to get a wee smile :) big hugs and lots of choclit

4:26 pm

sadie52

choclit cures most evils

4:26 pm

carleekat

4:26 pm

cybernan

4:26 pm

carleekat

4:26 pm

gramma

carleekat, do not ever sink to his level. Always take the high road. Time will tell; you don't have to.

4:27 pm

carleekat

i wont go low road..i love my daughter too much to do that

4:27 pm

ardilla

the issue is that my base clinic is so small and it's so hard to get any special services

4:27 pm

gramma

They learn it for themselves.

4:28 pm

periwinkle

bbl

4:28 pm

ardilla

they've listened to my lungs several times and they sound clear

4:28 pm

ardilla

the medic said the cough is caused by post nasal drip

4:28 pm

MollyL

How about blood tests Ardilla? Pneumonia would elevate your white cell count. Have they given you antibiotics?

4:29 pm

ardilla

be strong carlee!

4:29 pm

carleekat

i miss her so much...we did everything together

4:30 pm

MollyL

My "Mom" remedy for coughs is a hot bath, and a generous slathering of Vicks Vaporub, and then put on a soft cotton t-shirt before bed. Some people are not inclined to use Vicks though. And I have no idea if you can get it where you are.

4:30 pm

ardilla

no, he believed that the drip is from the congestion i got from the stomach bug and the dehydration caused by it

4:31 pm

carleekat

any mentholated cream will work

4:32 pm

carleekat

vicks is also my 'MOM' remedy for earaches

4:32 pm

MollyL

Carlee, take some time to process this. And then, DO NOT let this man rob you of your daughter. When I win the lottery I am going to build an island for "overly needy" people and ship them all there to deal with each other.

4:32 pm

ardilla

i just took a hot bath and am wearing my mink blanket robe...all the stores are closed...i'll try tomorrow

4:33 pm

carleekat

oh i wont let him

4:33 pm

carleekat

ard...so u have any hot/cold cream for muscle soreness?

4:33 pm

carleekat

do u*

4:33 pm

Jellen

Could I have the stats for the lone R on the bottom row, please?

4:33 pm

MollyL

Ardilla, I have also heard people swear by rubbing Vicks on the soles of your feet before bed, to ward off night time coughing fits. Sounds weird, but there are those who say it works. Old wives tell the best tales.

4:33 pm

carleekat

or any mint...

4:34 pm

MollyL

ra 6/33 Jellen. It's a tough one.

4:34 pm

ardilla

i'm just so tired of being tired....tomorrow is a holiday and my coworkers invited me to go out with them...but i can't stop coughing (not very attractive in a club) and am too tired anyway

4:34 pm

4:37 pm

MollyL

Gram, think of how someone would make air better.

4:38 pm

ardilla

carleekat

carleekat

4:41 pm

ardilla

the sweet dreams has chamomile hibiscus peppermint rose blossoms spearmint spice and orange blossoms

4:41 pm

MollyL

Soup and crackers, very good. Dark room, not so good. Time to catch up on some Bones or another show you need to watch and get your mind off the idiocy of others.

4:41 pm

carleekat

and the dual mint one?

4:41 pm

cybernan

ca 5/12: ca+vowel+abbrev. for my country

4:42 pm

ardilla

the mint medley has peppermint spearmint rose hips lemon peel and hibiscus

4:42 pm

gramma

ty

4:42 pm

sadie52

that sounds good

4:42 pm

carleekat

i'd do the mint steeped for a really long time ( 20 + mins) with a saucer over mug to hold all the oils inside the mug

4:42 pm

MollyL

Tea for everyone!

4:43 pm

ardilla

crap...the soup is at work too

lil*monkey

i have tried decaf green tea, and also hibiscus tea

7:45 pm

lil*monkey

i have tried cider vinegar, i have tried flax seed

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

green tea has antiwhatevers that ward off cancer

7:46 pm

lil*monkey

i have eliminated all sodium, fast food, coffee, soda and refined sugar

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

hibiscus is high in vitamin C and there fore wards off colds (more than orange juice)

7:47 pm

lil*monkey

now i am trying fish oil caps

7:47 pm

lil*monkey

i'm not sure i can take them all the time, that first capsule was like trying to swallow a submarine

i like garlic too... i have been doing 30-90 mins of exercise daily.

7:48 pm

jmcnrick

* puts on sweats and running shoes*

7:48 pm

lil*monkey

i will try anything :)

7:48 pm

jmcnrick

well you do have to give exercise time to work -- it is not a magic pill

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

the main thing for hypertension is aerobic exercise

7:49 pm

ChampFit

Is it hereditary lil*monkey? Hi all!

7:49 pm

lil*monkey

i have stepped up the exercise in the past 2 months, but prior to that i was exercising daily. i work in a PT clinic so i'm very active

7:49 pm

lil*monkey

yes, it's hereditary

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

but for our bones (being how we are women of a certain age) weight bearing training is important too

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

hi champ

7:50 pm
