saintfranny

Saw in the chog that her migraines are being wicked. And taking Maxalt isn't doing the trick. Stid - add an Aleve to your Maxalt..

1:26 am

saintfranny

There was a new drug out recently called Treximent, which was effectively Imitrex plus whatever Aleve is made of.. and it's PRICEY. So pharmacist told me to just add an Aleve to my migraine meds - I take mostly Imitrex and Relpax. It really does seem to help!!

back to say hello to those who just arrived, but with 20 left I'm just too tired to go on. Bridge group here tomorrow -- then a concert. I hope to find a few minutes to relax and finish!

rubyfoo

hello

1:52 am

crystalle

hi ruby

1:52 am

rubyfoo

sprite, are you still there?

1:52 am

rubyfoo

hi crystalle

1:52 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo. Another day...how did it go with your husband?

1:53 am

rubyfoo

I am "busting him out" this morning. I've arranged it with an ambulance, his local doctor, the visiting nurse, my housekeeper, and even told the dogs

1:53 am

rubyfoo

his daughter and my son agree.

1:53 am

rubyfoo

the hospital doesn't like it, but I think if he stays longer, he will only get worse!

1:54 am

sprite

lollll, very good! Oh he will love being home again... once again the master of his castle. Keep taking care of yourself though. It is easy to forget, but in the end you will be doing both of you a favour if you do.

1:54 am

rubyfoo

it is a big responsibility but I think I know him the best

1:55 am

sprite

I think you do too.

1:57 am

sprite

what time are you expecting him?

1:58 am

rubyfoo

I'm leaving here in a little while, ambulance will meet me at hospital at 11AM. Housekeeper is here building fires, changing sheets, etc.

1:58 am

rubyfoo

it is very scary, but I think for the best

2:00 am

sprite

well having him in hospital was scary to you as well, so perhaps focus on your inner conviction and stay alert for any sign he needs to go back there. I am positive you will know right away if that might be the case. Until then... don't worry too much, just take care of him AND yourself.

2:00 am

FMitch

I concur with spritey! and good morning ladies.

2:01 am

sprite

a very good morning, FM :)

2:05 am

rubyfoo

hello FM. My housekeeper is horrified that I would disagree with the authorities!

2:05 am

sprite

am still smiling at you telling the dogs. I bet they understand.

2:05 am

rubyfoo

hello FM. My housekeeper is horrified that I would disagree with the authorities!

2:06 am

FMitch

pfft! just make sure you have a good support network around you for hubby ruby, and don't forget yourself either!

2:06 am

FMitch

Morning spritey sprite, here's to a more peacful babble day today.

2:07 am

scouser

Hello Ruby. Glad to hear that one worry will be relieved. Do make sure you organise the day so that you get short rests now and then: five minutes total relax is worth hours of bed-time. lol

2:07 am

sprite

most people would be. Though I take most authorities very seriously, I still think we need to listen to our inner knowledge too. You did, so stop doubting yourself and 'just' take your stand, see it through. You KNOW you are doing the right thing.

2:07 am

KatieMcG

morning everyone :-)

2:07 am

sprite

here's to that, FM! *hugs*

2:07 am

sprite

morning scouser, morning Katie

2:07 am

FMitch

Hi scouser and Hi Katie - where have you been?

2:08 am

scouser

Hi FMitch and all Babblers-about.

2:08 am

KatieMcG

Hi, I know I've been rubbish on here. Work and the gym seem to take up my whole life at the moment and don't usually get the chance to babble in the morning as I am trying to leave the house at 7am for work these days. How you doing?

2:09 am

scouser

Anyone want any clues ? I have had to put asterisks in one word as I am old-fashioned.

2:09 am

sprite

I fully agree, scouser :) And if all else fails, go to the toilet, lock the door and take those 5 minutes there. We have a saying in Dutch (in Dutch it rhymes) that goes: "If you don't poo, you still rest, and if they call you, you are still pooing."

2:09 am

FMitch

LOL sprite!

2:09 am

KatieMcG

lol sprite

2:10 am

sprite

wtg scouser, gratz on finishing. No, not for me, thanks. Did babble take the asterisks? ;)

2:10 am

crystalle

I hate that word if your talking about the c one

2:10 am

FMitch

well it is good to see you Katie. Am fine and spring is lurking round the corner according to the bulbs sprouting away in the garden.

2:10 am

crystalle

like the f word it is crass

2:10 am

KatieMcG

I'm always quite shocked it takes it

2:10 am

scouser

No I had to type the word in and there it is in the list for as long as Babble keeps archives.

2:11 am

sprite

cu and tw... bad bad grid today.

2:11 am

Jacula

Thanks, sprite, I hadn't noticed that word unttil you pointed it out.

2:11 am

FMitch

Hey JAcs and crystalle

2:11 am

crystalle

hadnt noticed tw word ty

2:11 am

sprite

hi Jac *hugs!* and you're very welcome :)

2:11 am

crystalle

hi FM

2:12 am

scouser

The fu4 word in here always caused giggles at school when the biology teacher got onto the subject of algae. I was a school science lab tech and we had jars and jars of fu4 on the shelves

2:13 am

sprite

lol scouser.
Calls to mind the day our biology teacher hung up the poster of the male reproductive organ and a friend of mine sang: "Strange... I've seen that face before..."

2:13 am

FMitch

LOL!

2:14 am

scouser

I have decided that Enable has used Robbie Burns only for its Scots words, because it won't let me have "intae" which is normal pronunciation.

2:14 am

Jacula

So, how does a woman who's had no sleep and is still p*ssed off a gettigng a screwed up daughter, not her own, to deal with, when that wasn't the deal in the first place.

2:14 am

Jacula

How does thst woman deal with that?

2:14 am

KatieMcG

oh dear jac that doesn't sound good

2:15 am

sprite

she goes to babble chog and vents, Jac. Please tell.

2:15 am

Jacula

sprite - you already know,

2:15 am

Haz1558

Shove over, there's another mature woman coming through.

2:16 am

scouser

I once came upon the straight-laced bio teacher shrieking with laughter with the torso-model-with-removable-parts before her, holding the male portions and saying "I can't fit these in anywhere" cos the model would not allow both male and female at same time.... one bit had to stay in the box.

2:16 am

Jacula

I never liked herm, I never wanted herm.

2:16 am

sprite

morning Jac *makes room for maturity*

2:16 am

FMitch

Morning Haz :)

2:16 am

Jacula

Haz - you're going to tell me t o bugger off and get some sleep now, are you not?

2:17 am

KatieMcG

morning Haz

2:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

2:17 am

Haz1558

Now, Jacula, as if I'd ever say anything like that to you...

2:17 am

sprite

lol scouser

2:17 am

Jacula

I think you have, Haz, Thank you.xxx

2:17 am

Haz1558

I'd be much more polite. 'Jacula, dear friend, would it not be appropriate to seek restorative slumber?'

2:18 am

FMitch

*snort*

2:18 am

KatieMcG

much more polite

2:18 am

sprite

and, of course, Haz would be holding that rubber hammer behind her back at the same time...

2:18 am

Haz1558

You're old enough to decide when to go to bed. And anyway, it's nice to see you in the flesh -you know what I mean!

2:18 am

KatieMcG

of course

2:18 am

FMitch

and I will administer the lovely blue and pink striped pills.

2:19 am

Haz1558

It's actually kind of comforting to see other 'mature' faces around here.

2:19 am

scouser

Jacula - what is herm?

2:19 am

FMitch

(they work a treat on Haz when she gets stressed)

2:19 am

KatieMcG

I'm glad you asked scouser I have no idea either

2:19 am

Haz1558

I'll confirm that. They've got me through many an episode.

2:20 am

Jacula

I had signed out but signed back in to tell fmitch not to snort (it's not ladylike) and the others... well floaty pink things afore I sleep.

2:20 am

scouser

Katie - love the picture in your icon.

2:20 am

scouser

OK so long as you are not wittering about pillars with male-parts sticking out it is OK

2:20 am

FMitch

sorry Jacs :)

2:21 am

sprite

*hugs Jac* And you can have a hissy fit whenever you like and I'll be there to listen!

2:21 am

Haz1558

We've tried to cure FM of the snorts but well, it's not been easy.

2:21 am

scouser

Why have you tried - it is better than shrieking in capitals

2:22 am

sprite

maybe FM is afraid to LOL in your presence, Haz

2:22 am

FMitch

It's not my fault (for once) I can't help it when babblers make me do it - honest.

2:22 am

scouser

There must be varying levels of snort though?

2:22 am

sprite

(pay attention, FM, I am blaming somebody else!)

2:23 am

sprite

oh yes. The dry snort, the moisty one, the really wet one... I will not continue.

2:23 am

scouser

No I meant derisive or amused or part-chuckle

2:23 am

Haz1558

(I'm hoping devoutly that scouser doesn't ever do an FM type typo and forget the r in snort. It would put a whole different complexion on things)

2:24 am

FMitch

spritey Haz and I have LOL'd a great deal in real life together.
But I do feel intimidated sometimes if my grammar or punctuation is not up to scratch.

2:24 am

sprite

it was meant as a joke - did I offend without meaning to?

2:25 am

FMitch

of course not you silly!

2:25 am

Haz1558

*smug* my grammar intimidates.

2:25 am

lshult

morning all

2:25 am

scouser

Should we let FM put an adjective to show what sort of sn***?

2:25 am

sprite

oh good! I prefer to mean to, when I offend :)

2:25 am

sprite

morning Ishult

2:25 am

scouser

Morning Ishult

2:26 am

Haz1558

We need a font for 'this is a withering pudown and I hope you realise it'.

2:26 am

FMitch

Haz re yr post at 2.23 do you wish me to recount your classic moment that ended up with you under the desk in embarrasment?

2:26 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ishult.

2:26 am

sprite

I do, FM!

2:26 am

FMitch

Hi there Ishult

2:26 am

Haz1558

Go for it, FM. I'll head under the desk.

2:26 am

lshult

just found all the 7's...any clues for 8 & 9???plz

2:26 am

sprite

that would come in handy, Haz.

2:27 am

scouser

Oh Haz - I am known here for my witherings - I have varying grades of those too.

2:27 am

sprite

only have 2 7s so far and nothing bigger, sorry Ishult.

2:27 am

FMitch

No I will save you the blushing - am in a benevolent mood this morning.

2:28 am

un8 ru9

2:28 am

sprite

cruel, I'd call that, FM. Got us all raising to the bait and then you withhold it!

2:28 am

Haz1558

Profound relief! I'm already red at the memory.

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I think it is pretty well organized.

2:29 am

scouser

The 9 is a wonderful word to do with leaf shapes. If you know your children's poetry the beginning of the word is in "which they ate with a ru***ble spoon".

2:29 am

FMitch

Lets justsay that dear Haz made a brilliant spelling mistake not once but twice. I couldn't talk for laughing for about 5 mins.

2:29 am

rubyfoo

that was a neighbor with fresh bread, soup and a jelly donut for me.

2:29 am

rubyfoo

Off to the hospital now. Wish me luck!!

2:29 am

FMitch

Good luck and bon voyage ruby (())

2:29 am

scouser

the 9 word is a thoughtful word with nci instead of m. Cows also do the thoughtful word when chewing the cud.

2:30 am

scouser

Good luck rubyfoo.

2:30 am

KatieMcG

phew back, ironed hubby's shirt and made marmite on toast for him, I'm such a good wife lol

2:36 am

2:37 am

Haz1558

Bye, Ishult.

2:37 am

scouser

herin - try gerbils instead

2:37 am

sprite

both biggies end in 'had for dinner', lady

2:37 am

KatieMcG

Ok so how is it my fault that hubby overslept when i didn't know what time his doctors appointment was and he did?

2:37 am

herinfernallady

TRhanks

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Learn something new every day

2:38 am

scouser

Katie - cos you were just standing there to be spoken to

2:38 am

Haz1558

Because you should have checked his diary, Katie. They must have missed out that chapter in your Good Wife book.

2:38 am

sprite

it is never your fault when your hubby oversleeps. He is a grownup and can set his own alarm.

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Yes but no one needs the hassle of an overslept partner

2:38 am

Haz1558

There's the Check His Diary section and later you'll come to 'How to read minds'.

2:39 am

sprite

I used to call my husband out of bed. He came out, went to the bathroom, went back to bed. Expected me to call again. I didn't. He was late. Worked miracles.

2:39 am

KatieMcG

See If I had been at work then it wouldn't have been my fault - obviously it's the being at home bit that has caused it.

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Because women are better date remembers

2:39 am

KatieMcG

you are so right Haz, one step forward and one back as they say

2:39 am

scouser

What Good Wife book? I suppose that is why I am no longer married (did 21 years of it though and 16 years since)

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Having said that my friend was a month early for her partners job.

2:40 am

sprite

oh dear, that must be the English version, Haz. The Dutch one doesn't have that section. I am almost sure.

2:40 am

scouser

Ciao

2:40 am

Haz1558

The How to Read Minds section is quite advanced, I'll grant you. And you find that sometimes you're better at it than others. Practice makes perfect.

2:40 am

KatieMcG

it's just below the "you will make all phone calls to family (his and yours)" section and before the "how to shut cupboard doors for the rest of your life"

2:41 am

sprite

bye scouser, hagd

2:41 am

KatieMcG

bye scouser

2:41 am

herinfernallady

Bye Scouser.

2:41 am

sprite

that cupboard door section sounds familiar...

2:42 am

herinfernallady

Only with the chapter of does the toilet seat goes up or down argument

2:42 am

KatieMcG

in fairness hubby is multi talented and includes all draws and even the microwave in his skoll set

2:43 am

KatieMcG

ahhhh herin I have the answer to that, buy a house with a house with a toilet that doesn't allow the seat to remain up, I have had a very happy 4 years.

2:43 am

sprite

oh that is smart! :D

2:44 am

KatieMcG

no so good for the male visitors in fairness

2:44 am

herinfernallady

Katie smart idea. Or have a cat that plays with water and then the seat has to stay down

2:45 am

crystalle

fireworks and just in time for me to cook dinner. Goodnight all.

2:45 am

herinfernallady

night Crystal

2:45 am

wtg crystalle and enjoy dinner.

congrats crystalle

Congratulations, crystalle.

2:47 am

another chaper would be "Why do you need such a big handbag"? Answer: to carry all your bits and pieces = car keys, mobile, wallet etc etc

2:47 am

Congrats and nighty night crystalle.

2:47 am

I am starting to feel I am a lousy wife.

2:47 am

KatieMcG

along with "I know you have already looked there but let's check again anyway"

2:48 am

KatieMcG

I'd say you were a good one as you haven't added any bitchy chapters lol

2:48 am

Haz1558

It's just that you haven't had access to the English Version of the Good Wife Guide. You've been working at a disadvantage.

2:48 am

ours reads: "Honey I searched everywhere. Can you please find it for me now?"

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

2:49 am

that is true, Haz. I should get me a copy some day and study.

2:49 am

I trust it has a subsection of "but I looked there"

2:49 am

hi lyn :) xxx

2:49 am

and bingo there it is (wherever he left it in the first place. The knack is to feel smug but dont show it.
Evening lynxxx!

2:49 am

Hi lynxxx

2:50 am

lynxxx

I am too old to play that game anymore - I refuse to get involved in it all

2:50 am

herinfernallady

And don't forget the yes you are right but gawd forbid I actually agree

2:50 am

KatieMcG

for the advanced level (which hubby has reached) the subsection is "I looked there 3 times"

2:50 am

Haz1558

I'm bad at putting things down and not remembering where I put them. My schoolteacher daughter was cross with me yesterday when I couldn't find her ruler which I'd borrowed. I was so glad when I found it - husband and I giggled that I'd just escaped being given lines.

2:50 am

FMitch

lol herin

2:51 am

KatieMcG

lol Haz

2:51 am

My tiler friend has a sticker that says 'Men are like tiles. Lay them right the first time and you can walk over them for life

my love and I have the simple dutch concept of each having their own responsibility for life, and if you want help, you ask for it. No mindreading expected. Too simple, right?

2:52 am

FMitch

*almost snots tea* apologies all.

2:52 am

sprite

lol lady, that is SO bad :)

2:52 am

KatieMcG

we laugh about it - I find things for him, he corrects the holiday bookings for me

2:52 am

herinfernallady

The tiler is male which is the funnier thing

2:52 am

I do hope you meant snort there FM

FM, you should get a special recognition certificate for taking the blame AND making us laugh.

2:57 am

finally looked up the def for in5.12, it does mean what I think - how morbib

2:58 am

FMitch

I knew I had a purpose in life but didn't know it until I found Babble *grin*

Haz1558

Little did you know what you were doing when you logged into babble for the first time.

2:59 am

sprite

not doing it would get messy though, lyn

3:00 am

I can blame my Mum for that - t'was she who sent me the snippet out of the paper with the url.

3:00 am

lynxxx

true

3:01 am

No, you can thank your mother for that. She opened your eyes to the world of the tenrec.

Has anyone tried the lumosity.com brain training site?

3:05 am

Marmar

fun fast little brain-training games.

3:05 am

hurshy did, I believe

3:05 am

Haz1558

If we train our brains any more we'll be frightening.

3:05 am

Marmar

True for you Haz and many of you all. I need all the help I can get!

3:06 am

that'd be one step down from intimidating, Haz. Better not!

3:06 am

FMitch

Oh must be off for a few mins - hadn't realised the time. Back soon.

3:06 am

Haz1558

Oh listen, there are whole sections of my brain that lie dormant. Anything maths/science has the tumbleweed blowing through it.

3:07 am

Haz1558

Bye for now, FM.

3:10 am

Marmar

uhg, cannot stand this grid and am wimping out. Love to alll you dear babblers!!!Bye

3:11 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo, Marmar. Have a good day.

3:11 am

sprite

bye Marmar, hagd

3:15 am

sprite

greying out tiles seems to be tough today. Am missing one word each from 5 tiles!

3:16 am

Haz1558

Will anybody notice if we give the grid a quick shake?

3:16 am

sprite

I think we are all alone. Go right ahead, Haz.

3:17 am

Haz1558

Okay, hold on to your hats.

3:17 am

Haz1558

Any better?

3:17 am

sprite

whoaaaa! Good one!

3:18 am

Haz1558

It worked for you?

3:18 am

sprite

it shook out one more word.

3:19 am

Haz1558

It helped me grey another letter. We should do this more often.

3:19 am

sprite

it is a very good idea

3:20 am

Haz1558

You have to be careful, a gentle shake only.

3:20 am

Haz1558

Shake too hard and the letters fall off. Catastrophe.

3:20 am

Haz1558

I'd never be able to show my face in babble again if that happened.

3:20 am

sprite

it seems it takes a crafty touch. Perhaps you should be the one to do it.

3:22 am

Haz1558

There may be others who have the knack but we've been told not to talk too much about our powers. Others might get jealous or even try to imitate.

3:22 am

sprite

fireflies :D
A very good shake that was. Thanks Haz and have a lovely day.
Oh... jealous is one thing, yes. But imitate... perish the thought!

3:22 am

Haz1558

Well done, sprite! To think I helped you to finish.... Have a very good day.

3:27 am

lynxxx

belated congrats Sprite - sorry I nodded off. Goodnight Haz

3:28 am

Haz1558

Good night, lynxx, sleep well. I'd better be off myself as well.

6:33 am

uusue2

got it - nbt!

6:33 am

Trifioso

uusue, it looks like the plural of a fo4 that means more than one central point, if that helps

6:33 am

uusue2

I'm with you, trif!

6:33 am

Trifioso

sorry - the plural is a fo4, the singular would be fo5

6:34 am

uusue2

that's ok, trif, I got it. Some sort of seaweed, apparently.

6:35 am

6:37 am

City 17 dweller

6:54 am

City 17 dweller

I love 'fie' though, Kaplan :) Underused, IMO.

Yes, I thought it had a nice tone. Fie!

7:02 am

City 17 dweller

this grid is rude *and* difficult. It's like me in my teenage phase.

7:02 am

frogface

and the tw 4

7:03 am

uusue2

ok, quick exercises, back briefly :-)

7:03 am

Angela

At least it isn't windy...

7:08 am

Angela

true...Tuesday night the wind was blowing the snow so hard against the window, kept thinking it was a break in!

7:08 am

car.eeyore

Tricky little bugger of a grid today!

7:13 am

City 17 dweller

Just found the ni6 insult; is anyone else beginning to feel picked on?

7:14 am

car.eeyore

Oh City! You can't take the grid's nastiness personally! And you are most definitely not a ni6!

7:15 am

City 17 dweller

aww, ty eeyore :) It's just rather near the bone when you spend ten minutes looking for one word, and it's basically 'idiot'.

7:15 am

Angela

:)

7:15 am

car.eeyore

Yeah...but I didn't have it until you commented on it, so what does that say about me?!?!?

7:16 am

City 17 dweller

*grins* that you just got here, probably.

7:16 am

mom2han8

thanks for the ni6

7:17 am

mom2han8

anyone know what the 8 and 9 start with?

7:18 am

City 17 dweller

yw - ru9 and un8 (it's the 9 without the first letter)

7:18 am

car.eeyore

Not me!

7:18 am

mom2han8

ugh... ok... thanks.

7:19 am

car.eeyore

Does the RU 9 build off the ru 7 by any chance?

7:19 am

City 17 dweller

happy to clue, if you want. I needed help with both. No, eeyore, this grid isn't that helpful.

7:20 am

mom2han8

I'll take a clue...

7:20 am

City 17 dweller

they do end the same way, though.

7:20 am

City 17 dweller

ru9/66 - to move fast + first three letters of a movie theatre + consumed food. un 8/50: drop the R from the 9.

7:20 am

7:23 am

Riverdance

7:24 am

((River)) good morning

7:26 am

Aloyisius

ah, ty Haz.. just saw your great clue, got it

7:27 am

Haz1558

Hello, Aloy - glad it worked.

7:27 am

uusue2

if anyone here was listening to my drama last night, things between my dad and stepmom seem to have improved at least a little.

7:27 am

car.eeyore

It went very well. The teacher and guidance say that my little man is awesome....he is just really overwhelmed by the social aspect of 2nd grade. We worked on what words to use and giving him the power to decide if he will let someone else ruin his day. Still having adjustment issues with getting him up and out in the morning, but they had some good ideas and we are trying those.

7:27 am

Aloyisius

.. scratching head, lol !

7:27 am

car.eeyore

uusue...don't know what the drama is...but i am wishing your family peace.

7:28 am

uusue2

She still wants to go into assisted living in MI, but maybe she'll wait until he gets out of rehab and they can go together (instead of heading out this week)

7:28 am

vdddvddd

un 5/12?

7:28 am

Angela

good news uusue - wasn't here for it, but glad

7:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

Pee-pee, vd.

7:28 am

Haz1558

un5/12 - come together?

7:28 am

car.eeyore

Wow.

7:28 am

uusue2

yes, he sounds pretty upbeat, and the reason I couldn't get through to him last night was because his phone # changed and they didn't tell me

7:29 am

vdddvddd

thanks, just couldn't see it

7:29 am

Mom

Oh uusue, good morning and I am glad things seem better this morning.

7:29 am

Haz1558

No problem.

7:30 am

uusue2

car, sounds like you are having your own issues with your son - hope that goes well!

7:30 am

Mom

Car. I sure hope it helps the little guy. ((hugs))

7:30 am

mom2han8

are you guys using lickety? I am getting yesterday's grid.

7:31 am

car.eeyore

I was glad the teacher and GC reassured me that he is excellent at school .... but it made me frustrated that i get all the crap here at home! UGH!

7:31 am

Haz1558

No Lickety today, but Volley has a list in her profile.

7:31 am

Mom

Car., that's the way it seems to work

7:31 am

Aloyisius

.. can't believe I overlooked the volcano, def. a fish

7:31 am

mom2han8

OMG... car, we always get the crap... my daughter is "perfect" at school and at home I want to lock her in her room sometimes...LOL

7:32 am

Mom

thanks Aloy

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

They say that if they act out at home and are good out there in the world, it's better than the ther way around.

7:32 am

mom2han8

Haz... how do I get there?? Sorry, I just don't know.

7:32 am

car.eeyore

But dealing with it every morning just sets my day off to a bad start...every day. And now he is pulling drama at night too. Starting and ending the day the same way is not good for either of us.

7:32 am

Aloyisius

(-: yw Mom

7:33 am

Haz1558

mom, if you click on Rankings above, then do Control plus F to find Volley's name, it will be highlighted. CLick on it and her profile will come up.

7:33 am

car.eeyore

GAK! I dread this part of the grid....need 1 more word for almost all of the letters! GRRRRR!

7:33 am

uusue2

car, that's really tough. Hope things improve with time...

7:34 am

MollyL

Good morning all. Quote for the day..."Worrying, is using your imagination to create things you DON'T want."

7:34 am

Mom

may I please have the stats for the 8

7:34 am

mom2han8

When my daughter had trouble back in 1st grade (she is 14 now) we used a reward system. If she did not give me a hard time in the AM I would draw a happy face in her notebook and her teacher would give her a sticker... once she got 5 stickers she got a certificate to pick out of the prize box at school... it worked really well. We only did it for 3 weeks and then she just kind of went along fine after that.

7:34 am

car.eeyore

Part of it too is that he needs to strap a set on (sorry to be crass). The world is full of icky people and cannot let every single one of them hurt his feelings!

7:34 am

Mom

((Molly)) good morning

7:34 am

Haz1558

un8 - being the tail end of the ru9.

7:34 am

7:36 am

Mom

yes, Molly excellent quote

7:36 am

mom2han8

car... true dat! But, it is tough when they are little...

7:37 am

car.eeyore

The teacher has found a couple of dinosaur books for him and put them in a crate by his desk. When he comes in to school in the morning, he gets to have some time to himself to read the books. Here, I take his Pokemon cards...if he misses the bus, he loses the cards.

7:39 am

car.eeyore

kaplan...the german shepard?

7:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

NBT

7:39 am

car.eeyore

YEAH!

7:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Was he a shepherd? Rin Tin Tin? What kind of name is that for a dog anyway?

7:40 am

mom2han8

Whatever works for him, car! It will be fine, you will see. Eventually kids learn what works for them.

7:40 am

car.eeyore

Yes he was a GS! A repetitive name I guess!

7:41 am

Aloyisius

A silver shepherd

7:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

Of course he was a GS. Lassie was a collie.

7:41 am

car.eeyore

...or they don't and end up lonely and sad...which I certainly don't want for my boy!

7:41 am

Angela

signing off for a bit...happy searching everyone!

7:41 am

mom2han8

He was an army dog, right? I barely remember it.

A cartoon dog?

7:42 am

Aloyisius

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

Part basset, part mutt.

7:43 am

car.eeyore

And why can goofy and most of all the other friends of Mickey Mouse talk, but poor pluto can't?

7:43 am

mom2han8

Al.... never thought of it, but, yes... I think he is a bassett hound, lol.

7:43 am

mom2han8

Because Pluto is just dumb... cute, but dumb. Very sad.

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

Because Pluto is a dog, and dogs can't talk, silly.

7:44 am

car.eeyore

The hell with politics! These are the issues we need to get out in the open!

7:44 am

car.eeyore

But Pluto isn't dumb....he is very smart and helps Mickey out a lot!

7:44 am

Aloyisius

Those folks at Dyson are brilliant. They have developed a dog grooming tool you attach to your vacuum that sucks up stray hairs before they end up all over your house.

10:50 am

bleugirl2

i am missing a U in the 2nd column and two in the 4th column. I have 4 UNs, 2 URs

10:50 am

for the price of that vacuum ,they better have extras

10:50 am

10:52 am

i will rip out the carpets and lay down hard wood flooring befor i pay 800 dollars for a vacuum

10:53 am

zoozzoom

u+ opp to day?

10:55 am

crosshair

i can put down a sub floor cause we have 9ft 2 inch ceilings and put in a nice parquet floor for around 2 grand

10:58 am

crosshair

add a few area rugs that can be beaten on a line outside and a 10 dollar swiffer and yer done:)

10:58 am

Dorens

crossy you can get them for $350 at best buy. they are particularly good on pet hair, you'd be surprised at what they pick up after a regular vacuum. but if you prefer hardwood floors that's another story

10:59 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Dorens :-)

10:59 am

crosshair

crossy loves hardwood floors,been thinking on it a while now

10:59 am

Dorens

hi zooz

11:00 am

Dorens

cute little grid today?

11:00 am

crosshair

alas poor ur4/6 i knew him well;)

11:00 am

MollyL

Really, maybe the top of the line Dyson costs 800 dollars but their mid-level brands run 3 to 400. And considering that I paid 150 for a vacuum every year because they never lasted, I am very happy with my five year old Dyson.

11:00 am

Dorens

hah!)

11:02 am

zoozzoom

haha i am in the grid today ni6

11:02 am

crosshair

yes they do make a good macine,but remeber the phantom fury? they pimped the hell out of that,we paid 600 for the thing and it was dead in less than 2 years..irked me,all plastic parts in the beater bar..planned obcelesance

11:02 am

Habes

Vacuum store guy told us yesterday that Simplicity vacuums are made in the USA and are the best you can buy. Better than Dyson, so he says.

11:02 am

Dorens

hm, i have no 6;'s

11:03 am

zoozzoom

ni6 foolish person.

11:03 am

Dorens

don't know simplicity vacuums, don't know the vacuum store guy, maybe he gets a nice commish?

11:03 am

Dorens

ty zoo.. no you aren't

11:04 am

Habes

All metal components. I don't need a new one now but will buy one when I need it because I saw the metal. And I prefer buying American.

11:06 am

Habes

He also said vacs without disposable bags are not good. I really don't know. Just passing on the info from someone who should know.

11:07 am

Dorens

interesting.. will look into it

11:08 am

crosshair

thats why i drifted away from vacs that use bags,i have had several vac they only made for a year or 2,then the bags for them become rarer than unicorn blood lol

11:08 am

MollyL

Wow, one of the many reasons that I like the Dyson is no disposable bags. I don't know if it is the case where you are Habes, but some vacuum store sales people get a kick back from the bag people to recommend disposable bag vacuums. As long as a vacuum has a proper filter, it shouldn't matter whether it uses a bag or not.

11:08 am

crosshair

had one,where i was paying 6 dollar a bag neat the end!

11:09 am

crosshair

near

11:09 am

crosshair

now we have a bissel upright cannister pet vac

11:10 am

Habes

That's what the guy said. The problems come with the filters. Like I said, I really don't know. He said the Dyson guy is an actor and that Dyson is made in Malaysia. I wasn't aware you could get a vac made in the USA.

11:11 am

Dorens

you can hardly get anything made in the usa.. it is sad. Hey, did you see the eminem chyrsler commercial? i have watched it three times already on youtube.... love it

11:12 am

Did see it. Liked it almost as much as the Dorito/pug one made by the guy for $500.

well, it is a tiny grid,... why do you have to behave yourslef?

11:15 am

because if i babble in the meetings the grid will be done too soon

11:16 am

Dorens

i understand that molly, I'm not saying we shouldn't buy imports (i drive a german car myself), just commenting that it is sad that nothing is made here anymore... check it out next time you're at target or walmart... try to find something NOT made in china.

We 'buy British here - good old traditionalo British household names - then find they have been sold to US?/apan/Germany/ everywhere - not even the water in the South East is owned by us any more!!!

11:23 am

trentsnana

the reason our products are not competitive with the foreign products is because they pay their works pennies to work - we couldn't support one person on the wages they make, let alone families. it is sad.

11:24 am

crosshair

yup,sweat shops grinding out the crap and paying the a dollar a day

11:24 am

Habes

True

11:25 am

Deeha

you mean some pay as much as a DOLLAR a day Cross!!

11:25 am

trentsnana

hubby is retired from General Motors, so of course we buy GM products. the sad thing is that they really have improved greatly in the past five years.

11:25 am

jmcnrick

and part of the reason they can pay pennies on the dollars is because the cost of food and housing overseas is not as high

11:25 am

trentsnana

but it's too late for a lot of people. they don't trust their products.

11:26 am

crosshair

look at the problems nike had a few years back.the press found out that mike jordan made more doing a 30 second mike spot for tv than the wages of everyone in the shoe plant for the entire year

i do gainsay that trent but we have to accept that we have made living in the U.S. prohibitively expensive and that is part of why corporations find it cheaper to pay import taxes and shipping costs on top of low salaries

i feel you - i get migraines ALL the time

It's frustrating to get them so often. The only way I know to avoid them is to not read, not be in bright/flashing lights, not get stressed... but I have a life to live. *sigh*

12:07 pm

and of course my favorite activities are reading and being in bright sunlight. *double sigh*

12:08 pm

4:06 pm

4:07 pm

Boobear

4:07 pm

EasternBlue

4:07 pm

4:08 pm

kje

that may fit my more lazy self tonight

4:08 pm

dcseain

baguette, cheese, and jam for the win!

4:08 pm

dcseain

don't forget a nice red to go with it

4:08 pm

kje

lol dc - you and i think a lot alike about food ; )

4:09 pm

dcseain

hi :) Took the fig jam to get me out of lurking

4:09 pm

dcseain

i'm going to a good-bye dinner for a friend who is moving back to Cleveland.

4:09 pm

kje

love fig jam with blue cheese!

4:09 pm

dcseain

Why one would move back there is beyond me, but if it makes him happy...

4:10 pm

kje

actually - first had that combo many many years ago at the whole foods market in chevy chase

4:10 pm

dcseain

bleo and fig jam is nice

4:10 pm

dcseain

bleu

4:10 pm

kje

but... cleveland rocks!

4:11 pm

kje

so the song says...

4:11 pm

dcseain

When i worked at the Arlington WFM, we paired those a lot.

4:11 pm

dcseain

i've spent LOTS of time in Cleveland, my mother's from there, and my dad spent HS there.

4:11 pm

mari

anyone know the total points for today?

4:11 pm

dcseain

It does have some things going for it, including a WONDERFUL symphony orchestra

4:12 pm

kje

they apired an uber strong spanish blue ( apotent cabrales wrapped in leaves) with a dollop of warm fig preserves and were handing them out... it was an "OMG!" moment

4:12 pm

kje

831 points

4:12 pm

dcseain

i've no clue, mari. I have 34 and 311, fwiw

4:13 pm

mari

thanks kje

4:13 pm

kje

yw

4:14 pm

dcseain

i hope parking on Old Town around 6:30 is not too horrible. I've never tried parking near the Hard Times.

4:14 pm

cgw8

Hell, all. :)

4:14 pm

dcseain

hi, cgw

4:14 pm

kje

there is usually something to be found... though may have to circle a bit

4:15 pm

kje

it is thursday, so shouldn't be as bad as the weekend

4:15 pm

dcseain

that's what i was figuring -- i'll be near King and West

4:15 pm

dcseain

good pooint

4:15 pm

dcseain

hm. i could just get a bus.

4:15 pm

kje

but in general - i have good parking karma - it is ridiculous at times

4:15 pm

mari

need 2 an h and an r 4 and 5 adding to 21 points anyone want to give l me them ?!?!

4:15 pm

kje

how long will the bus take?

4:16 pm

kje

hu4/7 - hu + most of frozen water

4:16 pm

dcseain

15 min to Pentagon, then train to King St, about 30 min

4:17 pm

kje

ru5 - move fast + most of frozen water

4:17 pm

kje

there is a theme there, mari ; )

4:17 pm

kje

you'll likely spend 15 just circling looking for parking... might as well take the bus

4:18 pm

kje

plus... the people watching on the bus is worth the fare

4:18 pm

dcseain

wow. I'm paying 100/month in tolls.

4:19 pm

dcseain

that 0.25 increase adds up

4:19 pm

mari

kje you are a sweetheart - thanks a million

4:19 pm

kje

I will be up there in april, dc

4:19 pm

dcseain

ty for those, kje

4:20 pm

4:20 pm

bye all...enjoy the grid & the chat...

4:20 pm

kje

AGS is meeting at national harbor... they have their meeting in dc about every 5 years, but usually in the woodlawn area

4:20 pm

cgw8

Bye, east.

4:21 pm

kje

I am not happy we are stuck out at national harbor

4:21 pm

kje

bye eastern... hagn

4:22 pm

dcseain

hasta, eastern, be well

4:22 pm

kje

anyone a fan of oatmeal in cakes? I made a really nice oatmeal banana coffee cake this morning which is full of oatmeal and quite tasty - a slice makes a great breakfast - filling

4:22 pm

dcseain

Nat'l Harbor is at the Beltway and 210, so it's easy to get to and from. We'll have to get together if you have time.

4:23 pm

kje

it looks like, on their web site, that it takes about 30+ minutes to get into town?

4:24 pm

kje

at woodlawn, it was just so easy to walk to a lot of good restaurants, or catch the metro everywhere

4:25 pm

dcseain

Woodlawn -- you don't mean the place in VA, or Woodlawn, MD. Where is woodlawn then?

4:25 pm

kje

and since I will be coming from dallas this time, i will not have a car

4:25 pm

dcseain

Nat'l Harbor is VERY transit not-friendly.

4:26 pm

kje

they do it on purpose to make you stay and eat at their places and pay lots of money for so-so stuff

4:26 pm

dcseain

30 min into town seems about right, as you'd need a cab over to Alexandria to get a train at minimum

4:27 pm

kje

oops, woodlawn is in dallas... i meant the woodley park/adams morgan area

4:27 pm

kje

sorry

4:28 pm

kje

there is a marriott there that hosts conventions

4:28 pm

kje

woodley park? is that right?

4:28 pm

dcseain

yep, nice hotel that one

4:28 pm

kje

now that sounds funny too...

4:29 pm

dcseain

Woodley Park, yes. The hotel is the Wardman Park

4:30 pm

kje

funny how quickly that info is lost once you move

4:30 pm

dcseain

Sigh. Metro's Ride Guide cannot find the 1400 block of king st in alexandria.

4:30 pm

kje

OK, may - the meeting is may 11-14

4:32 pm

dcseain

noted it in my calendar :)

4:33 pm

dcseain

huh. it cannot recognize ANY address on King St, Alexandria. Stupid Metro.

4:33 pm

kje

that is a wednesday through saturday... should we plan on a saturday dinner - can be early-ish if people want.... the conference ends at 4

4:34 pm

kje

might be able to do lunch - depends on if I have to meet at lunch time or not... otherwise, there is only one thing in the afternoon I am sorta interested in and I can prob skip that

4:34 pm

dcseain

that works for me. I'll be done in Leesburg at 4.

4:35 pm

dcseain

I have a game from 1-4 that day. I can duck out a bit early if needed

4:35 pm

kje

cool! dinner will be easier then!

4:35 pm

kje

or... happy hour.... must drink... that conference makes one want to drink...

4:36 pm

dcseain

drinks and dinner are very much not mutually exclusive.

4:36 pm

kje
