Morning all. Soodle, Daisy is so sweet looking. I'm glad you have a new member of your clan.

5:13 am

Soodle

Thanks Moll. She is only 9 weeks old, and very lonely after her 11 siblings. She slept in my daughters bed last night....

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

Your daughter objected a lot, I bet! :-)

5:15 am

Soodle

Lol Sal -she described it as a bonding experience!

5:16 am

Soodle

Daisy is about one quarter the size of Dora the cat. And Dora's nose is severely out of joint!

5:17 am

MollyL

I think it's very important for families who lose a pet to get another as soon as it feels comfortable.

5:18 am

Soodle

I worried about that, Molly, and gave it a lot of thought. But I felt now was a good time, with the kids off school, the new puppy will get heaps of attention and affection till she finds her feet in this madhouse!

5:29 am

MollyL

It must take a while to get a new pet assimilated into a group of people and other pets.

you need to make a new account, but most babblers use the same name I think

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

ty ata

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

ardilla: if you guess at something you es8 it, but change the 5th letter to a higher value one

5:57 am

Atalante

its not very chatty, not like babble

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Connected with summer, if your Latin is up to it :-)

5:58 am

ardilla

great clue sally tyvm

5:58 am

Atalante

ty saly

5:58 am

Atalante

sally!

5:59 am

Atalante

it's also something akin to hibernation

6:00 am

MollyL

Thanks Sally, I didn't have that one yet.

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, strange that Ata. I always associate hibernation with winter (as you would expect from the root).

6:01 am

Atalante

hibernation occurs in winter, aes'ation occurs in summer

6:02 am

Sally-catlover

So the word we must't mention by mistake is like a summer hibernation, but called the other word.

6:02 am

Atalante

yep! known as "summer sleep"

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

I think I spend most of my time in that condition.

6:03 am

Atalante

think dormice do it

6:03 am

MollyL

Summernate!

6:03 am

struvate is a word... they take other crystals/chemicals... wonder why not this one

9:24 am

Pediatricians are experts at dealing with fever phobia.

9:24 am

hey scrab - did you try struvate?

9:24 am

TY, Cross. My cousin just got a Kindle and it is really cool, but I see that the Sony model is mroe versatile.

9:25 am

if you want library access ,do not get a kindle

9:25 am

carleekat

i only worried about my son once... and it was well called for..required hospitalization...pneumonia...all of sudden he was uncomfortable to hold he was so hot....aand i have a girlfriend whose son had an extreme temp spike... and ended up with brain damage...

9:25 am

EPAN

quate does not exsist in this puzzle??????????

9:26 am

welki

hey, don't blame alberta :)

9:26 am

kje

I have a friend that took her 6 month old to the ED at night for fever of 103... then posted a pic of the kid playing and laughig in the ED waiting room

9:26 am

kje

sig he should not be there

9:26 am

kje

sign

9:27 am

crosshair

when my boy used to spike over 103,he would get lethargic and his eyes would roll around in his head

9:27 am

crosshair

time for emerg

9:27 am

kje

they told her he had an ear infection... but i think it was just a virus - he was fie the next day ad never seemed to have ear pain - all TMs can look flushed with a fever

9:28 am

Scrabbler

carlee--the brain damage was NOT from the fever, it was from the infection.

9:28 am

carleekat

well..when my son had it he was only 1 year....almost weaned ( as in 1 nurse/ day ) from nursing... i had 2 options...strap the infant to the bed so could not move for IV..or stay with him in hospital and start nursing full time...talk about painfull...

9:29 am

Scrabbler

ERs and urgent care centers diagnose ear infections and "early sinusitis" in all kids presenting with a fever. It makes us nuts.

9:29 am

carleekat

( I know that scrabs..u know that..the mum tho....completely convinced otherwise... )

9:29 am

Scrabbler

Top row O clue please?

9:29 am

kje

faster than explaining why they do NOT need an abx to an anxious parent

9:30 am

crosshair

phantom "restive"

9:30 am

Scrabbler

And another peeve: the rapid strep test is negative yet an antibiotic is still prescribed for tonsillitis. Aaargh!

9:30 am

carleekat

my son...and daughter..very start of ear infection or whatever...ear pain... rubbed vicks behind the ear... heating pad set on LOW inside pillow...tylenol... bed...by morning...no pain..back to normal

9:30 am

kje

studies show patients expect a Rx or they are not happy - we have trained them poorly

9:31 am

carleekat

sore throat... tylenol...for pain...gargle warm water and salt...cough lozenge...comfy blanket..sofa...stack of m ovies...

9:31 am

kje

plus, docs feel they must do something - easier tha explaining why rx is ot needed

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Carlee. Experts have told us since 2004 (official clinical guideline came out) that 80% of ear infections resolve with time + pain reliever.

9:31 am

carleekat

my daughter went so long without doc... that her med card expired and i didnt know it...

9:32 am

Scrabbler

I am SO disappointed with how many MDs are antibiotic vending machines.

9:33 am

Scrabbler

kje, now that my brain MRI is nl I think I have a pheo. Ever seen one in your career?

9:33 am

kje

my first trip to an ED was a couple years ago when I fell and my foot was facing backward - we had to be dying before my parents took us i... all home remedies ad we survived

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Little steps for him, Owl.

9:34 am

carleekat

i've had 2 major trips for ED but one was ruptured appendix with an abcess the size of a catalope adjacen to the appendix...and an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured when i didnt know i was pregnant...oops..3 trips..shard of glass in my eye that was drilled out..

9:35 am

Scrabbler

I have a good internist but I don't want to come across as a nut. But I have had dizziness, frequent headaches and excessive sweating since July-Aug.

9:35 am

Scrabbler

All dangerous problems, Carlee. I'm glad you survived those.

that's it! au6, then the longer form which I didn't think existed!

10:51 am

periwinkle

don't have au6

10:51 am

rururocks

it ends very much like people who like to exhibit things

10:51 am

rubyfoo

and I thought it was only French....

10:51 am

rururocks

it sounds very french ruby

10:51 am

11:41 am

Judi

11:41 am

rururocks

11:42 am

redturtlehead

Have not seen any snakes, and its been too cold for bugs...Going to do Ding Darling Wildlife preserve tomorrow morning, currently recovering from race.

11:42 am

Judi

Tiny little biting flies. They made a meal out of me that last time I was on Sanibel.

11:42 am

sammysmom

11:43 am

11:43 am

MollyL

11:44 am

dfmchfhf

sammysmom

11:45 am

dfmchfhf

fine, red... how was your race?

11:45 am

redturtlehead

Sanibel is really pretty...despite the occasional snake.

11:45 am

Judi

Yes, Sammysmom. They really need to do something to erradicate them. The little gekos are cute though.

11:45 am

Atalante

I like snakes

11:45 am

redturtlehead

It was a wee bit disappointing dfm, I was 1 minute off a Personal Best time, but there was this crazy headwind at the end, and I couldn't push through, but overall, it went well, thanks for asking...

11:46 am

MollyL

No-see-ums are not just in Sanibel. My parents had them on the Delaware shore. I remember the kids trying to sleep out on the sun porch one night and coming in because the no-see-ums were eating them up.

11:46 am

sammysmom

i guess i am blessed ... have no desire to travel south .. can't afford it anyway... and i have bugs and snakes

11:46 am

sammysmom

hate that is

11:47 am

Judi

Hmm. Never encountered them this far north, Molly. (I'm in Delaware). They're a bit like black flies, althought they don't draw blood when they bite.

11:47 am

MollyL

Red, glad to hear your race went well.

11:48 am

rururocks

12:34 pm

JBV

I was translating a children's book for my cousin's grandchildren in Italy, did lots of work on it, but of course the work was interrupted recently.....

12:34 pm

JBV

so I stayed up very late last night to put the finishing touches on the typing, formatting, etc., My brother is going to print it for me and send it express, - there's a chance they may get it in time

12:35 pm

JBV

but if not, it will be a New Year's present!

12:35 pm

Kazzer99

I have read your profile - will getting back to the book help do you think?

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

mkg

still dont get that first ar 6 18 word. any more clues out there? i dont know musical stuff so much.

12:36 pm

JBV

absolutely - I was so wrapped up in it yesterday, I guess I was in what they call "flow" - lost all track of time, that's why I didn't go to bed til 1:00 A.M. - it is very satisfying to be doing something for others

12:37 pm

Kazzer99

difficult to clue - its a very babbly word - ar + 3rd vowel + 4th vowel then plural letter and then 3rd vowel again

12:37 pm

JBV

you know, I think we talked about this before Kazz, I also wrote stories for my son - based on our true-life adventures, like finding a chipmunk int he basement :)

23 to go -- time to head for the list

1:19 pm

Mark Jones

Hey guys! How is the babbling?

1:20 pm

Pinikula

hi mark

1:20 pm

PAV3

it's a relatively simple grid with a few biggies

1:20 pm

Pinikula

I think my babbling's done for a bit...if not clues are needed, I'm off to check emails...

1:21 pm

waver12

22 left! this is the best i've ever done

1:21 pm

Pinikula

keep it up, waver...need anything?

1:22 pm

waver12

i'm good at the moment, thank you!!!

1:22 pm

jan

Just finished mopping out basement. Again. Now to tackle the grid...

1:22 pm

Pinikula

leak, jan?

1:23 pm

jan

No, just a lot of rain. We've spent thousands of dollars supposedly fixing the problem, but in really serious rainstorms, the water comes back. I'm resigned to wet-vac and mops as the cure.

1:24 pm

Mark Jones

My trial time expired, and it said I needed a membership for the panel with my *****. It randomly just appeared! Cool!

1:24 pm

Pinikula

'tis the season, mark ;)

1:24 pm

Pinikula

ouch, how annoying, jan

1:24 pm

jan

Go for it, Mark. It's a terrific deal, and you'll have a time waster (or do I mean hobby?) for life.

1:25 pm

Mark Jones

I didn't sign up for it, though. I mean the panel just randomly appeared out of nowhere.

1:26 pm

mcurlschool

I like your profile picture Jan, a very fitting honor for such a incredible Mariner

1:26 pm

jan

Actually, it's more of an inconveninece than anything else. We had a pipe burst after the unusual cold snap earlier this winter, .

1:26 pm

Pinikula

hi mcurl!

1:26 pm

kimmtoats

it's really worth it, mark! I have never been sorry.

1:26 pm

mcurlschool

hi pini

1:26 pm

Pinikula

well, live it up, mark!!!

1:27 pm

jan

I'm glad your recognized it, mcurl. I was at the memorial at Safeco yesterday. I had never seen so many people crying over someone who they had never actually met.

1:29 pm

Pinikula

ok, all...gotta go...have a great morning, afternoon, or evening! back later...

1:29 pm

mcurlschool

I bet it was. Just listening to Ric Rizz on the news brought tears to my eyes

1:29 pm

Mark Jones

bye pini!

1:29 pm

mcurlschool

bye pini

1:29 pm

Uneaixoise

later, pini

1:30 pm

waver12

see ya pini

1:31 pm

jan

There were many moving tributes. I think the most emotional was from a blind woman from the organization for the visually impaired that had given Niehaus an award for his work that inspired so much love for him among the blind. He could paint a picture you didn't need eyes to see.

1:31 pm

jan

Bye, pini. Have a great day!

1:33 pm

mcurlschool

Yes, they replayed that on the news as well. I always knew that I didn't actually have to be where I could "see" the game on the TV; just turn up the volume and you always knew when to come running in to see a replay!

1:33 pm

jan

What's funny is how many people who went to games brought a radio so they could listen to Dave. He was better than being there!

1:34 pm

mcurlschool

sometimes he made the game much better than what was really going on on the field.

1:35 pm

jan

You got that right! One of his early bosses once said, " You call a great game. Not the game I'm watching, but a great game nevertheless."

1:36 pm

Kazzer99

hooray - fireworks for me

1:37 pm

kimmtoats

nice job Kazz!!

1:37 pm

waver12

nice job

1:38 pm

jan

He was a terrific human being, too. I met him years ago when my daughter was seriously ill in the hospital. As soon as she was able, she wanted a radio to listen to Niehaus braodcast spring training. I happened to mention it to one of my students--a ballgirl for the team--and the next thing I knew I had a voicemail from Dave offering to visit her in the hospital.

1:40 pm

Mark Jones

Hint for the au9, please!

1:40 pm

jan

The first homestand of the year, he came to visit her and spent more than an hour, talking baseball and barbeque and which of the young "cute guys" was going to stick with the team. She was awestruck, and so was I.

1:40 pm

mcurlschool

He was in incredible person. Very deserving of the honors he received and will truely be missed in the years to come. People should aspire to be just as honorable.

1:41 pm

jan

Sorry, Mark, I've just started the grid. Will look, though...

1:41 pm

PAV3

its between the singl fancy writer and its pl...

1:43 pm

jan

Thanks, Pav!

1:43 pm

waver12

my first fireworks :)

1:43 pm

Mark Jones

Great job waver! By the way, I still don't have it.

1:43 pm

jan

Congrats, waver! Let it be the first of many!

1:44 pm

PAV3

yay waver! the first of many...

1:44 pm

waver12

it only took me 6+months for my first

1:44 pm

jan

Do you have the "fancy writer"?

1:44 pm

waver12

haha

1:44 pm

waver12

what do you need Mark?

1:44 pm

Mark Jones

no, I don't. I need the au9.

1:45 pm

jan

The base word, "fancy writer" is an au/. Think pretentious French intellectual writer.

1:45 pm

jan

Oops...au/6.

1:45 pm

waver12

a director who has a strong personal style...

1:46 pm

jan

Yes, that's the real meaning. Though it *looks* like a writer.

1:47 pm

Mark Jones

Dang it, I still can't get it. Uggggh.

1:47 pm

waver12

ok all...i am going to go write a paper

1:47 pm

waver12

good luck! thank you for all of your help

1:48 pm

jan

Mark, do you know about morewords.com and a2zwordfinder.com? They are good sites to try to track down missing words, listing words broken down by length.

1:54 pm

Mark Jones

Yeah! Halfway through. I am rather terrible at this game. It is still fun, though.

1:56 pm

PAV3

down to 2 x 7

1:57 pm

jan

You'll get better at it if you stick around. There are a lot of commonly appearing "words" we like to call Babblets, which we hardly ever encounter in real life but often see in the grid. In this grid, for example, is an et/4/5 that means "needle case." Classic Babblet, and once you see it, you'll find it easily next time.

1:59 pm

PAV3

insert "more " into Jan's last phrase....'easily next time.'

1:59 pm

PAV3

finito est!

1:59 pm

jan

Yay, pav!

2:00 pm

PAV3

If I'm to make flan for potlukc tomorrow, I must go get more ramkeins....

2:00 pm

Mark Jones

Magnifique! Allelulia!

2:00 pm

kimmtoats

WTG PAV!!

2:00 pm

kimmtoats

I love flan!

2:02 pm

PAV3

off I am...if you run into trouble..use Lickety;s List, link found at bottom...

2:03 pm

jan

Also, if you try plausible looking letter combos, you will find that some of them turn out to be words. We call this 'monkey-typing" or "monkeying" after the chimps out to brute-force create Hamlet.

2:07 pm

periwinkle

I made chicken paprikash for dinner, hope my family likes it.

2:08 pm

jan

It turns out the es/8 is the opposite of hibernate, for animals that go dormant in the summer. Sounds a bit like the word for to make an approximate guess about an amount.

2:09 pm

jan

Ooh, chicken paprikash is delicious! Hungarian food is the next great undiscovered cuisine, I think.

2:09 pm

2:15 pm

zoozzoom

2:15 pm

jan

Try moving along the bottom part of the grid. It's a superlative, that should help.

2:15 pm

balletslippers

peri, the ar 7 is missing a vowel you might be tempted to put in the word

2:15 pm

LuvWordGames

ar 7/28 ar + the word for a exam but put a vowel between the 1st 2 letters

2:15 pm

periwinkle

2:16 pm

yw peri

2:16 pm

LuvWordGames

clue for the 1st di 7/32 please?

2:16 pm

jan

Slow cookers sound like they should save more time than they do, since I think you have to sear the meat and carmelize the veggies first over the stove for the best flavor. Still, what I like about them is that you can cook really low and slow so as not to overdry braised meats.

2:17 pm

jan

Someone who keeps a personal journal.

2:17 pm

someone who keeps a journal, luv

If you have an old alarm clock ticker the dog may be calm about that. I have a bear that the kitty owns and a blanket that he slept on when we got him

HEYS Torg. Hi Red

8:07 pm

Trifioso

yes, I had heard that too, herin. I have been looking around for one in the attic, but haven't found it yet. a friend of ours has a pillow with a noisemaker in it that sounds like a heartbeat, and I wish I could find one of those

8:08 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi all

8:08 pm

Trifioso

hello tea

8:08 pm

Nef

Hello everyone. I've been trying to find words to reach NBT and danged if I'm not trying to use the already black tiles for words! I hope this grid isn't as hard as I'm making it!

8:09 pm

TeaNCrackers

that's bad, nef!

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

I just been hit with news that is not good.

8:10 pm

Trifioso

I do stuff like that all the time.

8:10 pm

Nef

I know. The weather seems to have affected my thinking

8:10 pm

Trifioso

i greyed the top row. whee

8:10 pm

Nef

Herin, what's wrong?

8:10 pm

redturtlehead

this grid is hard. Hello Tea.

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

One of the pet shelters I work for has just been shut down

8:11 pm

redturtlehead

Nef, you guys are getting pounded, are you warm?

8:11 pm

Trifioso

oh, herin that is bad news. I am really sorry

8:11 pm

stidgmere

Hi all. Just getting started and will go watch football soon. Weather is everywhere today isn't it.

8:11 pm

Trifioso

why was it closed?

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

Its total B.s It is not ok for a shelter to have a document wrong but it is ok to have 50 dogs in horrific conditions and then close them down and shot the dogs

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

Hello Stidgmere.

8:12 pm

Nef

we are fine. We got snowed in with a bit over 2 feeet of snow and a blizzard, but today was bright and sunny (temps around 0 F) and a bunch of young friends came and dug us out

8:12 pm

TeaNCrackers

no weather here - it has been unseasonably mild

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

good to have strong young friends!

8:12 pm

Trifioso

they shot the dogs!? THEY SHOT DOGS??

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

here, very windy and rainy. cold ront blowing in they say.

8:13 pm

Nef

herin! That's terrible!

8:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

I can't even fathom

8:13 pm

redturtlehead

its very sad.

8:13 pm

Trifioso

I hate that herin.

8:14 pm

stidgmere

Oh Lord. That is unbelievably mean herin. Makes my head spin.'

8:14 pm

Trifioso

does anyone else here follow a blog called "Hyperbole and a half?"

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

Trifs. This shelter saves death row dogs. Yet the same (insert bad words here) council let a puppy farmer go and do their own thing and when they closed down the puppy farm they shot all the dogs.

8:15 pm

Trifioso

that is sickening, herin. sickening

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

My friend witnessed the animals being destroyed at the puppy farm. And this is why I don't like humanity

8:16 pm

Trifioso

turds

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

I just don't know what I can do.

8:16 pm

Trifioso

whoops. gads that's twice for me today!
sorry

8:16 pm

torgone

I thought it was a comment ..

8:17 pm

Trifioso

well, it could be

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

I don't know what I can do

8:23 pm

Trifioso

oh gads, there goes Indy again. How can so much "product" come out of such a small package?

8:24 pm

Nef

herin, can you write a letter to the editor and see if that will call attention to this?

8:25 pm

Trifioso

did they even TRY to get people to at least come rescue some of the dogs?

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

Trifs with this puppy hell hole in one of the rescue people took the dog away and teh police gave it back

8:33 pm

crosshair

and it is good night for ole crossy time for a snuggle on the couch under a bankie with a cheese and cracker plate

8:33 pm

Trifioso

i cant imagine the police force wont catch all sorts of trouble for this one!

8:33 pm

crosshair

tc all and happy bABBLING

8:33 pm

crosshair

poof!

8:33 pm

Trifioso

bye crossy

8:33 pm

herinfernallady

I just wrote a letter to the Premier about it

8:33 pm

Trifioso

I think I will sign off as well

8:34 pm

Trifioso

good on ya, herin!

8:34 pm

torgone

Niters cross & Trifs ..

8:35 pm

Nef

Good for you, herin. Sometimes a person has to try to get the word out to others when something horrid like this happens

8:35 pm

Nef

niters, crossy and trifi

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

Night Trifs.

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

It just kills me that yes they may have not done the right thing and have the right documents yet this council has a mental about this issue yet has no problems with not closing bad places down

8:39 pm

gapeach

Evening all. Dear Lord, herin, this is just awful.

8:40 pm

Nef

I think it's great that they close down the BAD places, herin. It's just the way they did it that bothers me. The dogs are innocents; the owner should be punished appropriately (I was going to say shot; but that's extreme)

8:41 pm

gapeach

Something similar happened here in Georgia a few years back. The thing that called himself a man, had to resign.

8:41 pm

Nef

And what is wrong with the papers that the shelter had? Did someone not approve them?

8:41 pm

gapeach

No, not extreme, Nef. I agree with you.

8:42 pm

herinfernallady

Nef this one place in Anike were on the radar for a year and the council did didly and squat.

8:42 pm

herinfernallady

Nef I think the papers were about as stupid as the wrong size fencing

8:43 pm

herinfernallady

The place in Anike then got told by the government to shut down so they did. They didn't surrender the dogs they just shot them. My friend saw them disposing them

8:45 pm

Nef

Were the dogs in that bad of shape? Were they diseased or what? THis doesn't make any sense!

8:46 pm

herinfernallady

Nef there was nothing wrong with the animals they just were not allowed to breed from them so they killed them.

8:47 pm

Nef

that's terrible!

8:50 pm

herinfernallady

It is. And I just found someone in my area that may be able to drive me up to the shelter

8:55 pm

dspike

clue for es 8/55 pls

8:55 pm

Nef

what is going on at the shelter? Is there going to be a protest; or are you going to try and get some of the animals?

8:56 pm

Nef

sorry, dsp. I don't have it yet (but am looking)

8:56 pm

herinfernallady

Animals can't leave there. They may need help with maintence.

8:57 pm

herinfernallady

Es 8 means to spend the summer, as at a specific place or in a certain activity

9:00 pm

Nef

it sounds like getting an es****** on your car repairs; but change the middle consonant

9:02 pm

dspike

ty all

9:03 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry

9:04 pm

Nef

for what, herin?

9:04 pm

herinfernallady

that isn't a bad clue; that's what it means.
