1:59 am

jillibus

Yes, flosey!

2:00 am

flosey

I think I was 5 (maybe 6) when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth came to Canada - we saw them on the train as it passed through - I was so disappointed because she was not wearing a long gown! Just a street length type dress and hat - I expected her to look queenly

2:00 am

jillibus

2:05 am

cathy22w

How you?

3:08 am

enjoying some much-needed light rain. We've had a strange drought since December and without a little moisture, all the already-up bulbs won't do much and it will be a blah spring.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

you're in the grid, missie, must be very well-connectied!

3:12 am

herinfernallady

Yes. I ahve a kitty on me

Pink is not my colour

3:19 am

rubyfoo

what is your usual color range?

rubyfoo

I wear any shade of purple, magenta, whatever. I don't know if they are becoming, I just like them

3:20 am

rubyfoo

when I worked, I had all my biz suits in variations of grey and black and then wore bright-colored silk shirts

3:21 am

rubyfoo

and only needed black shoes, so traveling was easy

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Pants are black with mix and match

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I didn't wear pants for working at that time as I was the only woman in the industry and used that to my advantage

3:22 am

herinfernallady

my new shoes are aresome

3:22 am

herinfernallady

What did you do Ruby?

3:22 am

rubyfoo

how high?

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I was a sales engineer in the glass industry, dealt with architects, designers, construction companies and glass merchants

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Ok

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Not that high Ruby

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I am very short, so had to go high

I bought a pair of red-orange crocodile platform ankle-strap shoes, just because they were beautiful, but it is very hard to find the times to wear them. And my fgirl friend in Ascot said they were "tarty"

3:30 am

HI Mich

4:33 am

Hi, carleekat

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Mich my friend did pass

4:33 am

joem

mains

4:34 am

Michnick

Thanks Carlee, I didn't make a fuss when it happened so everyone here thinks it was no big deal (also my niece started crying so I wanted her to be ok) no they tell me not to make a big deal!

4:34 am

carleekat

oh no herin

4:34 am

Michnick

I am so sorry Herin, are you OK?

4:34 am

herinfernallady

Carlee she had CF she didn't get her transplant in time. Yes I am fine. It is just sad

4:35 am

herinfernallady

She was in Israel

4:35 am

Michnick

People with CF live longer now then they once did, but it is so hard when the lungs do fail. There aren't enough organ donors in Israel.

4:35 am

carleekat

am sorry carlee

4:36 am

carleekat

says* carlee

4:36 am

herinfernallady

No there isn't Mich that is why her Husband and family did that piece to promote donation

4:36 am

carleekat

is 5:30 am

4:37 am

herinfernallady

I guess with her and NB passing makes me realise that we really don't need our organs when we die

4:39 am

Michnick

It was a great piece, but it takes a lot to change people. Also I don't know exactly where Jewish law stands with organ donation. I am now very motivated to find out. I have a close friend who needs a hear/kidney translpant. They will do a kidney transplant but all the potential donors have not worked out.

4:39 am

scoot

4 letter word bigggining with t and ending in e

4:39 am

herinfernallady

MIch I don't know either

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Carlee it is a Sunday go to bed and snuggle a kitty or three :D

4:40 am

joem

I have had 2 kidney transplants in the last 17 years and I am very grateful to all the selfless people who donate organs

4:40 am

Michnick

I will ask my Rabbi today and let you know. I don't think I am healthy enough to be a donor for most of my organs (kidneys, lungs) but my eyes and heart should be OK.

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Mich I have heard that cadaver skin is useful too. Though that thought freaks me out slightly

4:41 am

carleekat

i woke up...will go back to bed in a bit

4:41 am

Michnick

That's fantastic Joem, were they live donors? Have you met them? I have a few friends/acquaintances that have donated kidneys.

4:42 am

Michnick

I don't know why skin should freak us out more than any other body part. In jewish law the issue is on respect of the dead. Autopsies are a complete NO NO, so I'd have to find out where organ donation is on the spectrum, I would imagine if it were done in a respectful way....? I really don't know.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

That is it really is a matter of respect

4:44 am

joem

No, both were road accident victims. I did not meet them but wrote to the families. only know 1 was 38 with 2 children, the other was just a 21 year old lad.

4:44 am

Michnick

On the other hand, there is the whole ehtical question that "My Sister's Keeper" brings up. I had a friend that when her daughter was diagnosed with leukemia said that she was sorry she hadn't had more kids so the potential donor pool could have been bigger.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

Joem that is wonderful for you and a gift from those families

4:45 am

Michnick

I would imagine it is a comfort for the families.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

I am adopted. I know that it isn't the same thing but it still is a selfless gift

4:48 am

Why isn't amnio sticking?

4:54 am

Michnick

Off for a bit, if I eat breakfast this late, I can call it lunch. BBL.

4:55 am

herinfernallady

No it is a word that is in Morewords

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Amnio

4:55 am

Glantarell

isn't amnio an abbreviation?

4:56 am

herinfernallady

Yes but it is in the dictionary as a seperate word

4:56 am

Glantarell

ah

4:56 am

herinfernallady

It is a noun plural

4:56 am

Glantarell

i have been tryin Jain but of vourse that's a proper noun

4:57 am

Glantarell

However, it won't take herin which is a medieval hat

4:58 am

herinfernallady

Does that mean I am a phantom?

4:58 am

o-o

ENABLE pretty much does as it pleases.

4:58 am

herinfernallady

HI dear BR

4:58 am

7:55 am

The logo is cute, TO (for those who are not familiar with Chicago, it is a slight baconification of the Chicago city flag). And it's not until April 9th - must be a lot of bacon lovers in Chicago!

8:13 am

baconism?

8:39 am

uusue2

never seen an advert before

10:15 am

what's he allergic to, car.ee? Benedryl is first drug of choice for allergies (besides removing the allergen)

10:16 am

car.eeyore

He has been on Benadryl since yesterday, taken every 4 hours. He still has hives even on the Benadryl. They are from his face all the way to his feet. I have NO IDEA what he is allergic to. He also has a horrible cough.

10:17 am

OBJECT
To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid.
PLAYING
Search the puzzle board for words of four letters or more. When you find a word, add it to your list using the form below the puzzle. Words are formed from adjoining letters. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word. They may join horizontaly, vertically or diagonally to the left, right, up or down. No letter cube, however may be used more than once within a single word.
TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED
The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. You may look for any type of word - noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. Plural nouns are acceptable, as are all verb tenses. Words within words are also allowed. (e.g. revolt and volt)
TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED
Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.
SCORING AND WINNING
Every night at midnight CT, the day's puzzle closes. The high score list for the day will then appear showing everyone's total score.
SCORING
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word:
4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points
Example:
Word: BABBLE
Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1)
Total: 36 pts.
The winner is the player who has the highest point total when the puzzle closes.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
* The same word found in two different areas of the puzzle may not be used.
* The "Qu" cube counts as two letters.
* Points are awarded for both the singular and plural forms of a noun

10:17 am

Nef

car.ee, Bendryl will make most people sleepy (except ADHD kids; hyperactivity may increase with them)

10:18 am

car.eeyore

My no likey advertisments.

10:18 am

car.eeyore

He is managing. Just hanging out on the couch.

10:18 am

car.eeyore

I just feel so bad for him and he looks SO uncomfortable.

10:18 am

So

10:19 am

Kallia

I don't think they are from Dr God...cut and paste job methinks

10:19 am

Nef

me neither. car.ee; if he's been on benedryl every 4 hours, and no help; have you taken him in to the c\doctor yet?

10:19 am

Nef

Try oatmeal baths for itching and calamine lotion. Sarna lotion is very good for itching, but costs a whole lot of $$

10:20 am

car.eeyore

Talked to the oncall pediatrician last night. He said I was doing everything right and that the hives could last 4-5 days. He did give me his cell phone number in case Dylan begins to have any trouble breathing. when he was coughing so much last night I got very nervous.

10:20 am

car.eeyore

Did the oatmeal bath too.

10:20 am

Nef

LOTS of oatmeal baths! not just one or two

10:20 am

car.eeyore

I use Arbonne Herbal Diaper Rash Cream...the stuff is awesome for so many things. Unfortunately, it does make him look very pasty!

10:20 am

car.eeyore

Yes, I will continue the baths.

10:21 am

Cherrypop

Sometimes a baking soda paste on hives helps

10:21 am

car.eeyore

As a mom, I am just frustrated by not being able to help him more. I was up in the middle of the night with him massaging his feet because they were itching so bad. : (

10:22 am

car.eeyore

Oh! TY Cherry!

10:22 am

Krista

hi all...my mother had hives lately (no known allergies, but she's been under great stress)..dr told her to take Claritin and Zantac (they work on different histamines).

10:23 am

car.eeyore

The MD did not recommend anything other than Benadryl. Do you think I should call him and ask him about it?

10:23 am

Nef

allergic reactions have 4 levels: rash or hives, swelling of mucus membranes (puffy eyes and lips, etc) swelling around mouth and tongue and then respiratory collapse. If his eyes and lips are puffy, take him in

10:23 am

Krista

depends on the dr...with some docs, if it's not their idea, they poo poo it

10:24 am

car.eeyore

OK Nef. I will keep an eye on it. There are hives around his eyes and mouth but not inside.

10:24 am

DR1965

Poor Kid!!!

10:24 am

car.eeyore

The MD is also in his office today. I am thinking I may take him in.

10:24 am

DR1965

and Poor MOM

10:24 am

Kazzer99

whats caused the reaction car

10:24 am

Nef

no, there won't be hives in his mouth, Just generalized swelling

10:24 am

car.eeyore

I have no idea Kazz.

10:24 am

Nef

I'd take him in.

10:24 am

car.eeyore

I think it is related to his cough, but I am not sure

10:24 am

Krista

right, anaphalaxis is unpredictable..keep a close eye...can't go wrong with taking him in...this must be so stressful for you

10:24 am

rururocks

can you give benedryl to kids?

10:25 am

Nef

yes, rur

10:25 am

car.eeyore

My Mom "spider senses" are tingling.

10:25 am

Krista

i bet

10:25 am

car.eeyore

Yes, ruru. They have Children's Benadryl.

10:25 am

DR1965

benedryl makes some kids hyper though so be careful

10:25 am

car.eeyore

The last time my "spider senses" went off, he was in the hospital for 3 days.

10:25 am

Krista

hi DR! it's been so long...yep, it always winds my kids up

10:25 am

Kazzer99

eyes and mouth sounds like he touched something - sucked it nd then rubbed his eyes

10:25 am

rururocks

i'd ask the dr about that..

10:26 am

Nef

I've had anaphylaxis and it happens fast. The severe itching on his feet worries me

10:26 am

DR1965

I would take him in if it was Jakester

10:26 am

DR1965

Hi Krista!

10:26 am

Boobear

clue for am 7 please

10:26 am

rururocks

that sounds like the wise thing to do to me too

10:26 am

car.eeyore

I just asked Dylan if I could take him to the doctor and he said "yes". Poor thing!

10:27 am

car.eeyore

Kazz, it is from head to toe.

10:27 am

Nef

Do it, car.ee. This sounds pretty bad if you've treated it for 24 hours without improvement

10:27 am

car.eeyore

I am going to go call the doctor. BBL.

10:27 am

rururocks

I think he needs cortisone

10:27 am

rururocks

mixi6

thx Molly and Kazzer

10:45 am

MollyL

Your welcome. I never get the chemistry or currency clues. I figure other people don't either.

10:46 am

cybernan

I get a not found in dictionary for that one molly

10:46 am

MollyL

Good morning Cos.

10:46 am

flosey

thanks molly

10:47 am

Krista

the j's are hard...may have to view Lickety's for those soon

10:47 am

Sorry Nan, extra h.

10:47 am

car.eeyore

Hey again. Dylan is going to see the doctor @ 2:20 today.

10:47 am

uusue2

oh, whew, car! Hope all turns out OK.

10:47 am

Krista

Great!

10:48 am

cybernan

no -- I was thinking the comparative suffix was er, but it can't be

10:48 am

MollyL

Oh good Car. I read over the chat. Sounds like he is needing something more than Benadryl. Have you tried the topical stuff?

10:48 am

Kazzer99

good - i hope that it turns out okay - how old is he

10:48 am

car.eeyore

Here is another question...do y'all think I can let Zach go to his friends birthday party today?

10:48 am

Jillyjill

Hello all, how is the grid?

10:48 am

car.eeyore

Molly, I am using topical rash cream, oatmeal baths and the benadryl.

10:48 am

Krista

I'd want to keep him still and unexcited.

10:49 am

car.eeyore

Zach has absolutely NO signs of being sick, but I would hate to contaminate others.

10:49 am

uusue2

Unless it's chicken pox, car, I would think it wouldn't be communicable, so I would think Zach would be ok. I don't suppose you can decide after seeing the doc...

10:50 am

Krista

Oh, sorry...he's not the sick one. I'd let him go, personally. Are hives ever contagious?

10:50 am

cosdem

goood morning molly, car, kaz, jilly, krista et al

10:50 am

car.eeyore

Zach goes to his party before Dylan sees the MD

10:50 am

Kazzer99

can the dicision on the party wait till Dylan seen the doc - then you could ask if he thought it was okay

10:50 am

car.eeyore

Hi Cos!

10:50 am

Krista

can't think it's anything contagious...most of the time they never know what causes hives anyway

10:50 am

cybernan

oh -- hesitation suffix! -- got it - ty molly

10:50 am

Krista

hi cos!

10:51 am

car.eeyore

The party is for Zach's best friend from the town we moved from. He is so excited to go....

10:51 am

cosdem

maybe can you call the kids mom and ask her what she thinks?

10:51 am

Krista

hate to ask for help with 4's, but...the first two ji 4's are killing me...any clues?

10:51 am

car.eeyore

Well that is the other thing...the kid's mom is pregnant....

10:51 am

flosey

j + 3 vowels

10:52 am

cybernan

car -- you can't send illness to a pregnant woman's home!

10:52 am

Kazzer99

see from your post it cant - the only thing that can look like hives is chickenpox as somebody else mentioned and i think it might be safer not too as you have just said she is pregnant - but its difficult to dissappoint your kids

10:52 am

Krista

"hives are not contagious, but the triggers of hives can be contagious" (Google)...chicken pox are blisters...really don't look like hives, IMO

10:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

3 vowels. Well, that really narrows it down :)

10:53 am

uusue2

I think calling the mom and seeing what she thinks would be a good idea - don't want to show up and then hear you shouldn't have...

10:53 am

car.eeyore

It definitely isn't chicken pox.

10:53 am

Krista

haha, yes Kaplan

10:53 am

car.eeyore

I did just talk to her and she seemed fine. I was asking if Zach could stay a bit longer if I run over at the MD's office.

10:54 am

Kazzer99

i am off for a bit - need to debug the brain - bbl

10:54 am

uusue2

ah, sounds good, car. Should be her call, I think.

10:54 am

uusue2

bye, kazz!

10:54 am

car.eeyore

Bye Kazz.

10:54 am

Krista

Got one of them so far, thanks Flosey.

10:54 am

MollyL

Not knowing what it is, I would not bring him to a pregnant woman's house. That's just me.

10:54 am

cybernan

if it hasn't beem diagnosed by an md I think you should play it safe and keep him home. There are several roseola type rashes that are contagious.

10:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, if the mom is pregnant, I would be extra careful.

10:54 am

car.eeyore

Molly...I am really tending to agree with you. It would be the RIGHT thing to do and keep Zach away.

10:55 am

rururocks

an 6 anyone?

10:55 am

car.eeyore

I am so confused.

10:56 am

Krista

an + mantra+ t** one on

10:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

I once took my daughter to a play suspecting she had chickenpox- and she did- and it was wrong of me ...but we had these tickets...it is years ago, and I still can't believe I did it

10:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

My reasoning was, well, what if she broke out with chickenpox while we were already at the play- I'd still be out...

10:56 am

rururocks

thank you

10:56 am

car.eeyore

but then part of me is wondering if I am over reacting and it may just be hives.

10:57 am

Krista

**wags judgemental finger at Kaplan**

10:57 am

car.eeyore

Ty Krista

10:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

I tried to pretend I didn't know. This was really ethically challenged of me.

10:57 am

Krista

10:57 am

an5,12?

10:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

We had tickets to "42nd Street)

10:58 am

car.eeyore

sounds like Japanese type of cartoon art

10:58 am

Krista

am + *evermind +top**ry

10:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

My ethics crumbled in the face of musical theater.

10:58 am

MollyL

Car, any chance it's poison ivy?

10:58 am

Krista

well, if it was 42ND STREET.....

10:58 am

car.eeyore

Nope. Classic hives.

10:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

See what I'm saying...

10:59 am

hootowl

hi - just read back a little - car have you talked to him about touching something or maybe walking thru smoke from someone burning trash? Did he eat somethimg? Drink? All over is very extreme.

10:59 am

Krista

lol

10:59 am

MollyL

Well, other than some new something he's used, soap, cream, etc. or something he got into outside...I"m stumped.

10:59 am

MollyL

New laundry soap?

10:59 am

car.eeyore

no new soaps, creams, shampoos, detergents.

10:59 am

car.eeyore

It may have been a spider bite.

10:59 am

MollyL

New clothes that haven't been washed?

11:00 am

hootowl

And did the doctor suggest aspirin or some other pain killer to tame the itch?

11:00 am

rururocks

did he eat pineapple, mango or anything like that?

11:00 am

DR1965

is he allergic to bees?

11:00 am

car.eeyore

But what he thought was a bug bite may have been a hive.

11:00 am

car.eeyore

nope.

11:00 am

car.eeyore

nope.

11:00 am

car.eeyore

WE eat those fruits all the time anyway.

11:00 am

cosdem

i used to be able to eat mangoes... til one day i ate one and my entire lip swelled three times... so it could be someting new

11:00 am

DR1965

I think we are all stumped Car

11:00 am

car.eeyore

Trif has that too Cos!

11:01 am

cosdem

i hope the dr figures it out! :(

11:01 am

uusue2

all over suggests something systemic, like food, rather than something he came in contact with (but I have no specialized medical knowledge, am just thinking out loud)

11:02 am

Krista

funny, cos...my Mom was thinking that's what caused hers at first..they came out after she ate a mango..but have happened a few times since then, sans mango..stress, methinks....I agree with my armchair degree, uusue...not like a contact reaction at all

11:02 am

car.eeyore

I am sure that in usual form, the doctor will say, "yup, it's hives" and send us home.

11:02 am

hootowl

Did he cut thru a neighbors yard where it had just been sprayed? Did a friend offer him a new food or treat? Have to cinsider lots of things.

11:02 am

cosdem

hopefully he will give you meds

11:02 am

Boobear

clue for an 6

11:02 am

car.eeyore

we still have a foot of snow on the ground here.

11:02 am

cosdem

if benadryal doesnt help then maybe he needs something stronger

11:03 am

Krista

an + mantra + t** one on, Boobear

11:03 am

MollyL

I wouldn't take that for an answer Car. His reaction to whatever it is...is too severe.

11:03 am

uusue2

that's it - he's allergic to snow! (sorry...)

11:03 am

cosdem

i agree with molly... be aggressive if he just shrugs it off

11:03 am

cybernan

first tr 6, please?

11:03 am

hootowl

could be allergic to benadryl

11:03 am

DR1965

I bet lots of people are " allergic" to snow- especailly if they haveto shovel it

11:04 am

cosdem

could be hoot.. i am allergic to benadryl.. gives me hives

11:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

You don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies. That is a pun for an6.

11:04 am

flosey

nan, old roman coin

11:04 am

uusue2

And I agree with everybody else - insist on an answer, not just a treatment. Allergic reactions can worsen with repeated exposure, and you need to know what it is.

11:04 am

Krista

but with hives, they usually just treat them because sometimes they never come back...if they do, then they start looking into cause..it's just too difficult to pin down from one occurrence...at least that's what I've seen over the years

11:04 am

MollyL

Allergic to benadryl. Now isn't THAT ironic.

11:04 am

cosdem

thats what my doc said molly lol

11:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

that makes no sense. Could it be an additive in the benadryl, like the coloring?

11:06 am

hootowl

Please - I am allergic to aspirin!

11:06 am

cybernan

monkeyed all around 3 related ideas for that first tr 6, but not coming up with it

11:06 am

cybernan

*don't know the coin

11:06 am

Boobear

krista..I am not getting your clue

11:06 am

Krista

that's wild, cos!

11:06 am

cosdem

i have a tr6 its a plural of a tr5

11:07 am

hootowl

and lots of times it's not the meds but the additives

11:07 am

Krista

Try an + h**inid + cherry p**, Boo.

11:07 am

cybernan

have that one too, cos -- looking for the first one

11:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's like in the Trible- the story of Tr*** and the Whale- B

11:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry, that is a deranged clue.

11:08 am

car.eeyore

OK. I just spoke to my mom...a retired doctor. She said that it should be fine for Zach to go to the party as he has absolutely no symptoms. I will also bring antibacterial hand cleanser with me in the car and have him clean his hands with it. Then I will come back and get Dylan and take him to the pediatrician's office.

11:08 am

uusue2

lol, kap, and thx!

11:08 am

Krista

But it worked...love it!

11:08 am

car.eeyore

Kaplan I thought it was a fabulous clue!!!!

11:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

You got it???????????

11:09 am

uusue2

Handy mom!

11:09 am

Krista

Well geez, you should have called Mom first. :)

11:09 am

uusue2

I did, Kap - deranged works for me :-)

11:09 am

car.eeyore

Just needed her to get home from church!

11:09 am

car.eeyore

I live with her!

11:09 am

cybernan

I think tribles were from star trek, but didn't watch it that much and certainly wouldn't know the title of any particular episode

11:10 am

uusue2

nothing to do with tribbles or star trek, nan, just a twisted clue :-)

11:10 am

Krista

that's what I thought at first, Nan...the trouble with Tribbles...

11:10 am

car.eeyore

OK. I am off to get dressed, take Zach to this party, and then Dylan to the doctor. I will check back in later with an update for those who are interested. I cannot thank you all enough for your input and support this morning.

11:10 am

uusue2

good luck with everything, car, and do let us know how everybody is!

11:10 am

Krista

Hope your day gets easier!

11:11 am

some days it ain't easy being a mom

11:11 am

11:11 am

On what days is it easy being a mom? I will mark them on my calendar.

11:11 am

Krista

especially with the scary, uncertain stuff...very stressful

11:12 am

Gotta agree with ruru. Hate rap music. It's like Dr. Seuss getting funky in the ghetto.

11:56 am

don't like the culture of rap music either.. too violent and to abusive

Well, any music blasting at 1:00 a.m. (or any other time) is obnoxious.

you know you have seen a good movie,when you step out of the theatre and just for a little bit everything seems less real than what you just saw,a little fuzzy round the edges..then reality comes crashing back in and real life begins again and you wish for just a moment that you could recapture the love,the drama,or the victory against unbearable odds that that a really good movie can deliver...oops time for crossy meds,i am rambling again

stidmama

hello all!!! (((Mother)))

3:02 pm

stidmama

my faculty member called and we talked for 78 minutes about my paper!!! in addition to feeling VERY much validated and supported by this person, I am also now much panicked by all the changes I need to make... have just cleared my schedule up to the point at which the paper actually gets turned in.

3:03 pm

MollyL

Stid, stick with validated. Toss the panic. The rest of this will play out just fine.

3:04 pm

uusue2

great news, stid! I know the changes can be daunting, but it will be a much better paper for it.

3:04 pm

stidmama

LOL thanks Molly!

3:04 pm

MollyL

*Extra choclits for Stid for doing such a good job*

3:05 pm

stidmama

i actually reflected to her that, while I still think this paper is essentially a waste of my professional time (I won't ever use this paper to support getting a job), I have learned a great deal about the process and have developed empathy for students who often need to do tasks not of their own devising but which are worthwhile academically.

3:05 pm

stidmama

thanks Molly! *looks around for more choclits*

3:06 pm

stidgmere

Hi stidmama Just loooked at chog. busy with the ji words.

3:07 pm

stidmama

hello Mother. down to 141 here! :-D

3:07 pm

stidmama

going to get back to the paper in a few minutes, but figured I deserve a break.

3:07 pm

stidgmere

Down to 98 here but not going fast! I'm the ony one awake here at the moment.

3:07 pm

stidmama

what do you think of me printing it out with line numbers and rearranging from there? I am so tired of looking at computer screens

3:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Writing papers should be on the human rights watch list of unreasonable tortures

3:08 pm

stidmama

LOL Murph tired him out, did he?

3:08 pm

stidgmere

Yes, line numbers can be very useful.

3:08 pm

MollyL

Especially papers like the one Stid is writing. That sounds right up there with water boarding.

3:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What's the paper stid. I missed it.

3:09 pm

wht

Hi all. How is Babbleland today.

3:09 pm

stidmama

thanks Kaplan! *nodding head vigorously in agreement*

3:09 pm

MollyL

Hi Wht.

3:09 pm

stidmama

gah. you want the official title?

3:09 pm

uusue2

hi, wht!

3:09 pm

stidmama

"access to opportunity: digital literacies in education"

3:09 pm

wht

Other than the en5ous paper stid is writing.

3:10 pm

stidmama

it's really about the digital divide and some of the pitfalls teachers want to avoid, rather than literacy per se

3:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OK

3:11 pm

stidmama

pretty boring... *sigh* but it meets the requirements for a master's in this program so it's getting done.

3:11 pm

stidmama

are you back to feeling okay kaplan? last I saw you for any time you were rather poorly

3:11 pm

uusue2

stid, I think that even if you don't exactly need the paper, the process is useful (as you pointed out). I could make large piles of stuff that I did as a student that weren't directly useful, but I am a better physicist and teacher for having done them.

3:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

my dissertation title did not rival "Of Mice and Men"or"The Naked and the Dead"either.

3:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm ok stid thanks, although I can find something to complain about.

3:13 pm

uusue2

lol, kap - neither did mine, and it contained the mu word from today's puzzle which I nevertheless failed to spot.

3:13 pm

stidmama

yes, in some ways because I am not completely "into" the topic I think I am better able to separate my ego from the paper itself.

3:13 pm

stidmama

any other sub-atomic particles in the paper, sue? or the grid? I have the mu and the io

3:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh- let me go look for that one

3:14 pm

stidgmere

I didn't find mu**** as in teenage mu**** turtles in here uusue.

3:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Mine had he6 in the title. What a coincidence.

3:15 pm

uusue2

well, my dissertation was full of them, but no more in today's grid. there is a chemical element, though.

3:15 pm

stidmama

hm. substance abuse, kaplan?

3:15 pm

stidmama

so far the mi 6/24 is my fav word in the grid today

3:15 pm

uusue2

right, that's not it, gmere - it's an elementary particle. I have a list of physics babblets in my profile if you're interested.

3:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

yes, even though I deconstructed the term "substance abuse."

3:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Me too.

3:16 pm

stidmama

LOL mother!

3:16 pm

stidgmere

ty uu, I may wander by to look as they do crop up in these grids with some regularity.

3:16 pm

stidmama

that's a useful topic, and explains why you were so helpful explaining the nature of addiction that one time.

3:17 pm

stidmama

how fishy is the O word?

3:17 pm

uusue2

not at all fishy, stid

3:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't remember the specific instance, but it is something I go on and on about

3:17 pm

uusue2

it's more of a suffix than a word, really

3:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did anyone get away with murter?

3:18 pm

stidmama

hm.. stats for the O please?

3:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm still looking for the mu. How many letters?

3:18 pm

uusue2

on5/14

3:19 pm

stidmama

it's a bad work day when the reading glasses make it HARDER to see the computer. *sigh*
okay, thanks sue

3:19 pm

uusue2

3:19 pm

Chemistry was not my field. Sometimes I think it is a real disadvantage when playing Babble.

3:22 pm

hi, zooz! Didn't mean to step on your toes there, was typing...

3:23 pm

zoozzoom

No problems at all, Sue :-)

3:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I just got whomped with two fish- sa4 and mi4. Makes me think I mistyped them earlier

3:24 pm

MollyL

Wht...ends the same way as those tiles with dots you play with. Lop off the vowel at the end for the short one.

3:25 pm

uusue2

sometimes I think I've typed a word, but it was in yesterday's puzzle (or some previous one...)

3:25 pm

MollyL

Sorry, change the vowel at the end.

3:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

all the grids kind of merge, don't they.

3:25 pm

I am missing two of the p's from the upper left

3:30 pm

who is that in your icon, Kap?

3:30 pm

uusue2

I have a Sony reader, peri and welki - it's really nice for traveling

3:31 pm

welki

i'm to the point where no one wants the paper books i'm finished with .. so why waste the paper

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Grandma Yetta. From "The Nanny."

3:31 pm

periwinkle

ah, so it is :)

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Someone yesterday thought it was me.

3:31 pm

periwinkle

I thought it might be a self portrait too :O

3:31 pm

welki

the anti-glare screen of the kindle 3 is what's attracting me. i've tried to read books on my i-pad and can only do it inside

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Grandma Yetta was the same actress as Millie in the old Dick Van Dyke show.

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, right, Peri.

3:32 pm

periwinkle

oh an anti glare screen sounds really good

3:32 pm

welki

(but kindle at this point is a u.s.a. product only .. would have to have it shipped here, pay import fees and for books in u.s. dollars)

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yetta cracked me up.

3:32 pm

periwinkle

well, in my defense I have no idea what you look like, Kap

3:32 pm

uusue2

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

my sony reader is nice, welki, it will take lots of common electronic publication formats. I haven't ever bought a book for it; I just go to the Gutenberg project website and download books that are no longer copyrighted.

Right. She is a hoot.

how's it do in sunlight, uusue?

3:35 pm

MollyL

I am a rock, I am an island.

3:35 pm

uusue2

It's quite good, welki. It doesn't have its own light, so you can't read it in the dark.

3:35 pm

welki

...and an island never dies. (he said)

3:36 pm

uusue2

I got it from woot.com for about $100; they later sold me a holder for it that includes a light, for another $7. But, like all woots, that was a one-time dea.

3:36 pm

uusue2

*deal.

3:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have an iphone- or a kindle- it took me years to get a cellphone, but I rely on it- it's only amatter of time, I suppose.

3:36 pm

I like my appointment book.

Kaplan the Magne

I think I am turning into Yetta.

3:39 pm

Fortunately, I have not been incarcerated and have no need for a cell phone.

3:39 pm

MollyL

I don't think my Kindle lights up in the dark. But that is okay, since I don't do any reading in the dark. Kap, I wouldn't have a Kindle if my kids hadn't given it to me for Christmas. But I love the Scrabble game I have on it. It is a great time passer while waiting.

Soodle

Oh no....

5:20 pm

car.eeyore

But, of course, not run of the mill scarlet fever. He has "quite a unique presentation".

5:20 pm

MollyL

5:21 pm

MollyL

Car, are you all contagious or just him?

5:21 pm

lil*monkey

is there a JO ?

5:21 pm

car.eeyore

He has wicked strep with a fever and this rash...which is most consistent, although not entirely with Henoch-SchÃ¶nlein purpura (HSP) but even that is not presenting as a "normal" case.

5:21 pm

lil*monkey

or JU ?

5:22 pm

bodz

ji 4/10 add the initials for sado masochism

5:22 pm

car.eeyore

We (those in the house) may likely get strep, but not in this fashion.

lil*monkey

the young actress nominated for True Grit looks so divine on the rRed Carpet... pink beaded gown looks very "ballerina"

5:24 pm

car.eeyore

The doctor expects that he will get WORSE before he gets better. More joint swelling (his hands and feet are already swollen) and then the rash patches will most likely turn PURPLE!!!

5:24 pm

car.eeyore

And there is a good chance it will be accompanied by abdominal pain.

5:24 pm

Minveryork

Nef

jmc, why did you argue?

7:33 pm

jmcnrick

yeah they gave me this and that and concluded that i had moderately high BP and moderately high colesteral

7:33 pm

jmcnrick

because i was tired from no sleeping and all their tests said nothing was really currently wrong

7:34 pm

jmcnrick

so i came home to sleep. I will go back and do the tests.

besides my cat was hungary

1st pr8 is plural of the pr7 before it; both differ from the second pr7/pr8 pair by a single letter

and now the T's...

I always had to have pixie cuts when we were young because I had "impossible" hair

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

probably. I had/have very curly, sort of African-American hair and it hurts even now to brush it. but now I brush it not my Mom.

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

yeah I had the "Dorothy Hamill"

8:04 pm

Jillyjill

I had a pixie cut because I chose to 'trim' my own hair...that and I LOVED Twiggy!!

8:04 pm

Jillyjill

Now THAT dates me...lol

8:05 pm

MollyL

My sister gave me awful pixie cuts. They look good on about 1% of females.

8:05 pm

Nef

LOL! I was an adult when her hair style was in. My daughter had that style in 4th grade because she wouldn't let me do anything with hers

8:06 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for pr7-32 the 2nd? Thanks

8:06 pm

Jillyjill

and they're BACCCKk

8:06 pm

Boobear

clue for ji 4/10

8:06 pm

Nef

I think my pixie cut left my hair about an inch long over most of my head.

8:06 pm

MollyL

I don't have girls. But if I did, I would give the child one of three options. Let me brush it, you brush it or it all gets cut off. I am, and always have been, a no BS Mom.

8:07 pm

uusue2

pr7/32 the 2nd is something there is a lot of in meat

8:08 pm

redturtlehead

And this is probably many of us had these short cuts, because we had no nonsense Moms.

8:08 pm

crosshair

uusue, who had scarlet fever, and the threat of the heart attack?

8:09 pm

gapeach

uusue, I have that as the 3rd pr7-32....am I mispelling one? T hanks

8:09 pm

Dorens

funny... every spring my mother dragged me to some barber shop for what she called a pixie haircut. i hated it. never had a choice. So when my daughter had beautiful blonde shirley temple type curls, i let them grow, never cut her hair till she wanted it, and believe me brushing it was a real challenge

8:09 pm

Nef

you're probably right, Jilly. My Aunt had the 4 of us girls, our 2 younger brothers, a full time job; and no patience for any nonsense.

8:10 pm

Dorens

guess i am a bs, nonsense kind of mom (or at least was with my daughter)

8:10 pm

uusue2

car.eeyore's son has scarlet fever, and jmcnrick had a heart attack scare (but got a more or less clean bill of health; she'll be going back tomorrow for more tests)

8:10 pm

featherbee

i wondered if it was car's son! hope all are ok.

8:10 pm

redturtlehead

for your daughters Hair....maybe not the whole daughter... ;)

8:11 pm

Boobear

this grid stinks..not liking it at all

8:11 pm

Dorens

hah! maybe, red
and hi sue and feather

8:11 pm

uusue2

peach, I can't count! the second pr7/32 is the same as the first except with a different consonant on the end

8:11 pm

featherbee

yeah, i stopped earlier at 42 found, and have decided that's enough!

8:12 pm

uusue2

my mom was always giving me permanents, which I hated. I wanted long straight hair, which is what my hair does if left alone, and which was the style when I was a teenager lo these many years ago...

8:13 pm

redturtlehead

I am at 87 and I am going to take myself to bed.

8:13 pm

uusue2

night, red!

8:13 pm

MollyL

Really Sue? How old were you when she gave you perms?

8:13 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, uusue2.

8:14 pm

uusue2

4 the first time, 13 the last, which was the most infuriating (I was just starting high school)

8:14 pm

Nef

niters, red.

8:16 pm

Jillyjill

Nite red, sweet dreams!

8:16 pm

MollyL

Oh my God. I can't imagine expecting a 4 year old to sit still for a perm. Bless you.

8:17 pm

Dorens

sue your mom and mine must have been friends... i got perms when the pixies were growing in, and I hated the smell of them (as well as the results) i had absolutely no self-determination growing up (at least in terms of my hair... which was red and i hated that too)

8:17 pm

uusue2

not only that but I had VERY stubborn hair, and she had to use the adult perms on me (her hair was naturally curly)

8:17 pm

Jillyjill

dang, one more to fw, am missing one of the tr5/10's between the tr6/18 and the tr5/14 HELP

uusue2

yay, jill!

8:21 pm

Dorens

yay jij

8:22 pm

Dorens

well .. they didn't dig flat chested girls until i was about 16, then the hair compensated, i guess

8:25 pm

Nef

Dorens, I didn't know that teen-aged boys liked flat-chested girls.

wvteach

9:07 pm

Pinikula

as5 = a + sweat box - u

9:07 pm

Nef

as + 3 letter girls name (using all the 1st vowels

9:07 pm

Jillyjill

OMG Nef....I didn't use Lickety today....lol..he must have posted after I started??

9:08 pm

Nef

*dear* 28 year old daughter just had a screaming snit fit because she said her Dad was sarcastic and snotty to her! She stomped her feet and slammed the door just like when she was 5 years old! Sheesh!

9:11 pm

Nef

YAY, wv! WTG!!!

9:11 pm

Jillyjill

My *dear* 28 yr old son called today for money....trade you!!

9:12 pm

Pinikula

mine texted to see how life was going

9:12 pm

Pinikula

Out of the 3, I'll keep mine ;)

9:12 pm

Jillyjill

Nice pini!!

9:13 pm

Nef

No, Jilly, I just wish sometimes she would either grow up OR she was small enough to take privledges away from her (and sending to her room actually was a punsihment again!)

9:13 pm

Jillyjill

I keep thinking mine will get off on his own...he KNOWS his dad and I are now on a very limited income until we know if my sweetie qualifies for disability.

9:14 pm

Pinikula

raise their rents!

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, but we do love them don't we...*heavy sigh*

9:14 pm

Nef

at least if you say NO to him about money it might have some effect.

9:15 pm

Jillyjill

Well,next year will be better, he'll be going to ODU and living in the dorms...HOPEFULLY will learn to save for a rainy day.

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

He just needed a small amount to rent a car for the next week...then he's got spring break and hopefully his truck will be repaired by then

9:16 pm

Nef

Pini, our daughter had her paycheck garnished (or whatever it's called) for ignoring her bills. She had an abusive boyfriend, so she was a mess when she moved back home last year.

9:16 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry to hear that, Nef...

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

It actually was a loan as he gets his GI bill payment this week.

9:17 pm

Nef

She is paying rent, and paying her bills, but her attitude kind of sucks when it's "that time of the month"

9:18 pm

Jillyjill

sorry nef, I can empathize, mine was in a marriage that was very emotionally abusive for him...he went back to her 4 times...thankfully finally separated on opposite coasts and divorced

9:18 pm

Nef

I just hate the 5 year old mentality when it shows up

9:19 pm

Pinikula

sorry to hear about yours, too, JJ

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

Well, not to defend her behavior but...I work with people who have very childish behavior at times...lol

9:19 pm

Pinikula

I work with profs who act like that ALL the time...

9:19 pm

Nef

we had seen her personality change; I'd always had the gut feeling that "he was a nice guy; but not right for MY daughter" and she hid the abuse from us quite well.

9:21 pm

Nef

LOL! Maybe I should be glad that she's got the gumpshun to be a 5 year old again? OMG, what a thought!!!

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

I truly now understand abused spouse syndrome....it was so hard to watch...it is so hard to see our children suffer.. :(

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

ROFL

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

Okay Nef, let's discuss doctor's behaviors....lol...there's a childish group!

9:22 pm

Nef

Ahh, Motherhood! Such a joy and sorrow!

9:23 pm

snags

we nurture them and bring them along to the point they should be able to stand on their own two feet.

9:23 pm

snags

So we do too much for them>

9:23 pm

snags

I think I did

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

HI snags!!

9:23 pm

snags

and am not treated with respect. so I guess I did it to myself

9:23 pm

snags

hi Jilly jill

9:24 pm

Nef

Jilly, I've had a few run-ins with docs in my day; but I think the last time I told a doc off was more than 8,9 years ago!

9:24 pm

Nef

hi snags

9:24 pm

snags

hello nef

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

I can say that mine really do treat us well and do appreciate what we have done/do for them. They are really good young men.

9:25 pm

snags

I have come to the conclusion, I am not a very nice person.

9:25 pm

snags

just feeling sorry for myself today..........

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

Nef, I work with 8 MD's; 2 of them are 'old school' and fairly difficult to work with at times. The younger new MD's are truly a joy!

9:25 pm

snags

tomorrow will be better

9:26 pm

Nef

my DH and I were both raised in poor families. We felt that since we could, we wanted to help our kids by doing a lot of stuff that we couldn't have when we were kids. That may have been a problem in the long run.

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

NO SNAGS...never say that!!

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

(((snags))) *hands snags chocolates*

9:26 pm

Nef

how can you say that snags? Because your kids say that?

9:27 pm

snags

today I am a mess. we went to church this morning and I started crying when we sand the Lord's Prayer.............

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

Man, I have had THOSE days snags...hang in there!!

9:28 pm

snags

well I have an adult daughter that wont talk to me because she thinks I put my oldest granddaughter before her and that was nearly 2 years ago

9:28 pm

Nef

(((Snags))) We all do the best we can in a given situation.

9:28 pm

snags

glad I am not alone, but am sorry you have those feelings too.

9:29 pm

Nef

a grandchild should come before an adult child.

9:29 pm

snags

Thanks yo two...... for listening and encouraging me.

9:29 pm

snags

but the thing was, i didn't do that.

9:30 pm

Pinikula

My thoughts are with parents who struggle with their children; I've also had my fair share...but I will always be there for my kids unlike my own parents and siblings (but 1) who are no longer 'there' for me.

9:30 pm

Nef

Man, you are stuck between a rock and a hard place then

9:30 pm

snags

Pass the chocolate please

9:30 pm

Nef

cholits for all

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

The one thing I've learned over the past 5 months is to trust God, thank him for whatever his plan is, and remembering the situation does not define ME

9:31 pm

snags

Children............ there are days but I have 3 grandsons I adore and they adore me.

9:31 pm

snags

wise Jilly. very wise

9:31 pm

Nef

very true, Jilly.

9:32 pm

Jillyjill

Believe me, it has taken all of my 52 years to learn that...*bites into chocolate*

9:32 pm

Pinikula

I have 2 gkids...I'm not 'allowed' to see one

9:32 pm

snags

swallowed my piece of choco, whole.............

9:32 pm

snags

Oh Pini............

9:33 pm

Pinikula

* eyeing the whole box of chocs *

9:33 pm

Nef

first thing we learned back in nursing school is that no one is perfect and that as long as you do the best you can in any situation, you should never blame yourself if things go terribly wrong. Just do your best and that's all you can do

9:33 pm

snags

any of them have nuts?

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

OH pini, I am so sorry...the hardest part of my son's divorce was losing the step=grandchild that I loved dearly...cried many nights

9:33 pm

Nef

(and those nuns were talking about people dieing under our care!)

9:34 pm

snags

I think the 1950's were easier

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

Good trainers those nuns...I had a couple that transfered when my college took over the Catholic school.

9:34 pm

Pinikula

...the one I can't see is the one I raised for 6 years...

9:34 pm

Nef

snags, one box with nuts; 1 box without. Which do you want?

9:34 pm

Pinikula

...and she lives only 1/2 mile away. :(

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

Well, the 70's were, or was it the mood enhancers?

9:35 pm

Nef

(((PINI)))

9:35 pm

Jillyjill

Oh Pini ((Hugs)))

9:36 pm

Nef

LOL, Jilly! I had my nose to the grindstone in the 70's and missed the mood enhancers!

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

Us student nurses partied HARD on weekends....

9:38 pm

Nef

not in my school. We started out with 55 in our freshman class; only 20 graduated. Anyone who partied a lot flunked

9:38 pm

snags

the nutted chocolates please.

9:39 pm

Nef

(but I went to nursing school in the 60's; and we were pretty innocent in North Dakota back then

9:39 pm

Pinikula

* wonders if there are any chocs with caramel *

9:39 pm

Pinikula

where in ND, Nef?

9:39 pm

Jillyjill

I was here in Montana, but Missoula was pretty liberal, that was my last year as well.

9:40 pm

Nef

here you go, snags; this box has some interesting hazel nut mocha pieces in it

9:40 pm

Nef

Gran Forks, Fargo and Jamestown, Pini

9:40 pm

Nef

Missoula was always liberal, Jilly!

9:41 pm

Nef

Oops! GranD forks, that was

9:41 pm

Pinikula

<-- family in Mandan/Bismarck

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

Not as much now...

9:41 pm

jillibus

I survived the 50s -- not a good time for wives and women.

9:41 pm

Pinikula

...and a cousin-in-law from Fargo

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

It was known as the Berkley of the ROckies back then

9:41 pm

Nef

Jilli! Your icon is a hoot!

9:42 pm

jillibus

ty nef!

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

Hi sis!

9:42 pm

Pinikula

hi jilli

9:42 pm

jillibus

I'm really watching the Oscars but hi all

9:43 pm

Pinikula

(also distracted by Oscars)

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

Me too jilli

9:43 pm

Nef

JIlly, my dad knew every hippy artist in Missoula. He had all sorts of artists and druggy as his buddys back then

9:44 pm

jillibus

nice to see a sis and a cuz here -- so sorry about your grandkid, pini :-( You are such a good person and don't deserve that.

9:44 pm

snags

distracted by hubby. he was having a leg cramp

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

Have another chocolate snags...

9:44 pm

Nef

that isn't fun...

9:44 pm

jillibus

hi snags -- I know about leg cramps too -- eat bananas.

9:44 pm

snags

how about the boxzz// grinning

9:44 pm

Jillyjill

Nef, I sure hope you get out here sometime!

9:44 pm

Pinikula

thx jilli...pretty soon she'll hopefully have a voice and can make some decisions that are good for her!

9:45 pm

Nef

and I totally agree with jilli saying that you don't deserve that treatment, Pini!

9:45 pm

snags

i just read about drinking a glass of water before bed.......... it helps hydrate the legs......... wonder if it's true.

9:46 pm

snags

are the oscars very good??

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

It'll give you exercise making a potty run during the night!

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

Better than some years snags

9:46 pm

snags

lol

9:46 pm

jillibus

I think the leg cramps at night might be because of a potassium deficiency (esp if he is on diuretics) so bananas are a nice bedtime snack.

9:47 pm

snags

great, the oscars were hoping to attract a younger group

9:47 pm

snags

no diuretics, or blood pressure meds.

9:47 pm

Nef

I don't know about that one, snags. I try to drink a couple of glasses of water before bedtime; but then have to get up and go at night! ;-) I have found that making sure I get my multivit each day helps

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

totally agree jilli, potassium deficit

9:48 pm

snags

frankly growing old isn't such a good idea!! :)

9:48 pm

Jillyjill

I think it's most important to drink water during the day...bedtime shouldn't make a difference.

9:48 pm

jillibus

the Oscars? I'm just curious about who's going to win (loved The Kig's Speech -- haven't seen the others) -- thought the actor who played the speech coach deserves an Oscar -- brilliant.

9:48 pm

Nef

it can also be magnesium that causes leg cramps.

9:49 pm

snags

NEF, not enough or too much?

9:49 pm

Nef

growing old is better than the alternative, snags

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

"The golden years have come at last......the golden years can kiss my a**."

9:49 pm

snags

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

A cal/mag/zinc supplement very needed if you take a blood pressure med.

9:49 pm

jillibus

ROFL jj, but here I am enjoying 83...

9:50 pm

jillibus

oops -- dinner's ready -- back later

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

bb sis!

9:50 pm

snags

I am 66............ and a young one at heart......... zipping along the highways on a Honda gold wing three wheeler............... lovin it

9:50 pm

Nef

not enough, snags. I was taking Vit D3, and you should take calcium when you take Vit. D. Got leg cramps; was told I needed to increase my magnesium. That helped

9:51 pm

Nef

good for you, snags! :-) I'm 64 myself

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

As the youngsters say...SAHWEET! snags

9:51 pm

snags

Nef, hubby takes a multitude of things......... but I don't think mag, is one of them

9:52 pm

snags

lol........ my hubby is my first passion, the wing the second passion.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;

9:52 pm

Pinikula

Sahweeeeeeeeeet!

9:52 pm

snags

we both ride so we take turns .... when he rides I sit on the back and read

9:53 pm

Nef

my advice is he should check with his doctor and get a blood test. Don't follow vitamin advice except by someone who knows what your blood levels

9:53 pm

snags

brb

9:53 pm

Nef

are

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

Well, going to have to sign off for tonight. Early day, was supposed to be off, but one nurse doesn't want to work (reference to previous conversation on childish behaviors...lol). Thanks for a great chat every one!

9:54 pm

Pinikula

take care jj

9:55 pm

Nef

LOL! Daughter came upstairs and (sort of) apologized. Dh suggested that she use a red flag to warn us that she's PMS-ing

9:55 pm

Nef

niters, Jilly

9:56 pm

Pinikula

nice, nef!

9:57 pm

Pinikula

oooh, I like the quote they just showed by Lena Horne: It's not the load the breaks you down; it's how you carry it.

9:57 pm

Nef

my mind is a bit twisted. I know what he means; but it could be taken a different way...

9:58 pm

Pinikula

I know what you mean, Nef...perhaps a pretty floral or something LOL

9:58 pm

Nef

I like that too! (I am not watching the Oscars, though)

9:58 pm

Pinikula

..or a lock on her door!

9:59 pm

Pinikula

* the = that

9:59 pm

Pinikula

"It's not the load that breaks you down; it's how you carry it."

9:59 pm

Nef

LOL!

9:59 pm

stidmama

I adored Lena Horne. She was remarkable for any age!

9:59 pm

stidmama

*relurk*

10:01 pm

Pinikula

I should think about doing my hair before it gets too late.

10:01 pm

Nef

I really liked her too. She definitely had class (something a lot of famous people lack these days)

10:01 pm

Pinikula

very much so, Nef...

10:01 pm

Pinikula

...and interetingly enough, Hallie Berry resembles her quite a bit!

10:02 pm

Pinikula

(in appearance and presented character)

10:03 pm

Nef

true. I read an in-depth interview with Hallie Berry once while waiting in the doctor's office. She sounded like she had her act together

10:04 pm

Pinikula

I like the idea that she always seems to carry herself in public in a classy/classic manor...not into changing her look/personality to fit the most current 'trend'

10:05 pm

Nef

that's nice too

10:07 pm

Nef

I really don't keep up with celebrities; I don't care for movies or gossip columns. I'm pretty boring I guess. I'd rather read biographies and watch educational TV I guess

10:08 pm

Pinikula

likewise ... I've not seen any of the movies they've been talking about

10:10 pm

Nef

Last time I saw a movie in a theater it was Titanic. DH loves movies; he watches them when I'm at work. (hmm, maybe that's why he says it's okay for me to keep working...?) ;-)

10:10 pm

Pinikula

I'd go to a movie sometime if I had someone to go with...otherwise I'm good with watching the old black and whites when I get a chance.

10:13 pm

Nef

The last 2 times DH went to a movie, he went with my best friend. She's divorced; and every once in a while there is a movie that they both want to see and I really don't want to go.

10:15 pm

Pinikula

Perhaps one will come out that will really catch my attention...until then...

10:15 pm

Pinikula

...I'll save my money. ;)

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

Nef

10:26 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for te5-10? Thanks

10:27 pm

Nef

I only have the 2nd te 5/10; it's a male singer

10:27 pm

Jacula

te5/10 1st or 2nd?

10:28 pm

gapeach

Oh, sorry, Jac.....1st please.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Also, it's Halle Berry and 'manner' not 'manor'. That's for past posters.

10:29 pm

Jacula

Gap - it's a ancient Grecian headband. Number after 9 + 2 vowels.

10:30 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, Jacula.

10:30 pm

Nef

Jac, we were typing/talking fast; didn't notice the mistakes til you mentioned them

10:31 pm

Jacula

I'm feeling a bit picky right now, since an old friend picked on me earlier for talking about meat when she's a veggie. (On FB, not on here, btw.)

10:33 pm

Nef

IRL I often say things backwards. I hate to tell you how many times I have to retype what I'm trying to say here sometimes in a fast discussion.

10:34 pm

Nef

Last night I told a friend of my dtr's not to "drink drunk" and meant not to "drink and drive"

10:36 pm

Nef

if I get upset; I often get whole phrases back-a**wards. I AM the queen of spoonerisms

10:37 pm

Jacula

No shame in that, Nef.

10:39 pm

Jacula

I was watching 'Nurse Jackie' (a US medical drama) earlier with my son and NJ told a patient's husband, 'I'm not going to blue sky you. It's not looking good!' 'What the bloody hell did that mean?' asked my son. 'I've never heard that expression before.' 'Neither have I,' I said. 'But I know what she means. She's not going to tell him everything's sunny and bright and the outlook is good.'

10:40 pm

Jacula

I think I would have known what you meant re not to drink drunk, too.

10:41 pm

Nef

I've never heard that phrase before either, Jac. So it isn't in *this* part of the US if it's a common phrase elsewhere

10:44 pm

stidmama

okay, oscars over, dinner done, going to get three words and then back to the grind

10:44 pm

Jacula

Nef - the Nurse Jackie series is set in New York. (City, not state.)

10:44 pm

Nef

Just 3 words, stid?

10:46 pm

stidmama

well that was fast... LOL yes, that gets me down to 80.

10:46 pm

stidmama

I'll be back soon. *poof*

10:49 pm

Nef

LOL! stid "hits and runs" again. I bet you will get more words from this grid than most will, stid

10:50 pm

jillibus

Hi -- back post-Oscar and post yummy dinner (catfish au gratin, brown and wild rice, baby bok choy)

10:50 pm

Jacula

My grid's been all done for some time if any clues are needed.

10:50 pm

jillibus

41 left here and I don't care ;-)

10:50 pm

Jacula

Oh heck! That's 2 friends on here and one on FB that have been watching the Oscars. I HATE award shows.

10:51 pm

jillibus

Your loss, jac.

10:51 pm

Nef

37 left here, but I want to finish. I'll just keep plodding along though (presently stuck in the mo's)

10:51 pm

Jacula

jilli - I don't like cat fish or brown rice, but I do love pack choi/bok choy.

10:51 pm

jillibus

I like watching animals in zoos too.

10:52 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for to6-18? Thanks

10:52 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli. So long as you watch it for the cruel humour value, that's fine.

10:52 pm

Jacula

gap - more to4.

10:53 pm

jillibus

peach, I love the way you just arrive, igoner the chat, and beg clues

10:53 pm

cosdem

10:53 pm

10:53 pm

Jacula

10:54 pm

Jacula

10:54 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Jacula.

10:54 pm

cosdem

Jacula

10:55 pm

gapeach

Well, gee whiz, jillibus.....guess I just feel like part of a family.

10:55 pm

jillibus

now I have the psot-Oscar fashion parade on, lol

10:56 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I don't want to know who was wearing what.

10:56 pm

jillibus

*post

10:57 pm

jillibus

neither do I -- I just get a kick out of the commentary

10:58 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:58 pm

jillibus

I just like to keep in touch with unreality

10:58 pm

cosdem

i had no idea kirk douglas was still alive.. i bet they were just humoring him the whole time.. hes senile lol

10:59 pm

jillibus

poor old Kirk -- determined to overcome that stroke he had.

10:59 pm

Jacula

Kirk Douglas, as far as I can tell, might well outlive son Michael.

10:59 pm

jillibus

not nice to laugh at Kirk

11:01 pm

cosdem

i think i need to watch the king's speech and the fighter.. t hey look good, ive seen social network and inception

11:01 pm

Uneaixoise

King's Speech is wonderful!

11:02 pm

cosdem

i absolutely adore helena bonham carter so i'm sure its good!

11:02 pm

Jacula

I've never laughed at Kirk.

11:02 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, me too, cos -- she's just too fab for words! :-)

11:03 pm

jillibus

I loved The King's Speech and am so old I remember those circumstances quite well.

11:03 pm

Jacula

The King's Speech, so I've heard, takes liberties with the facts, but is a good film nonetheless. I also want to see Yogi Bear film and a couple of others.

11:03 pm

jillibus

You didn't, Jac.

11:04 pm

jillibus

I mean you didn't laugh at Kirk, Jac.

11:04 pm

cosdem

like the social network.. takes liberties with facts..but i thought it was a great movie

11:05 pm

Uneaixoise

still haven't seen Black Swan . . .

11:05 pm

jillibus

I understand that the grandson of the speech therapist for "Bertie" found authentic notes and diaries which were used for the movie.

11:05 pm

Jacula

Our local cinema has the cheaper ticket thing, but you have to buy it for a year. Usually, all the films I want to see come in a bunch all at once, so the ticket is never worth buying. However, in 6 years and 2 months' time - I can get an OAP pass. Half price for pensioners, plus yu get a comfy seat and tea and biscuits.:-))

11:05 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, jilli, I read about that -- amazing, eh?

11:06 pm

Jacula

Black Swan is another I'd like to see.

11:07 pm

Uneaixoise

am sure it's a fish, but clue for on5, please?

11:07 pm

cosdem

black swan looks great... the winter bone too.. and the kids are all right

11:08 pm

Jacula

Une - it's a salty ending sort of word.

11:08 pm

jillibus

Our movie theatre is unique -- just a former little church building which can convert from movies to other uses, having moveable seats. Before each performance, instead of a string of commercials, we're streated to a lovely slide show of Salt spring scenes.

11:08 pm

Uneaixoise

saw Kids Are All Right and Winter's Bone -- both for a dollar via Redbox -- really really good

11:08 pm

Uneaixoise

tx jac

11:09 pm

jillibus

I'd like to see the other contenders too and I understand we can get them on our cable TV

11:10 pm

jillibus

on5 -- pandemon***

11:10 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds great, jilli :-)

11:10 pm

Jacula

Une - y/w.

11:11 pm

Uneaixoise

little town nearby used to have seating in movie theatre that allowed for a little table with drinks . . . and smoking (gasp) -- long gone alas

11:11 pm

jillibus

oh, une, that sounds really civilised!

11:11 pm

Uneaixoise

11:12 pm

jillibus

11:12 pm

jillibus

I've never seen that

11:12 pm

Uneaixoise

never too late, jilli! LOL

11:12 pm

Jacula

Yes, I remember smoking in the cinema, too. You could do it on the left of the screen but not on the right. (No extractor fans to stop smoke drifting, though.)

11:13 pm

Uneaixoise

i miss smoking . . . sigh

11:13 pm

Jacula

Shock, horror! Jilli's never seen The Rocky Horror Show either live or on film? *gasps and faints*

11:14 pm

jillibus

Some day, jac...

11:14 pm

Jacula

Une - we're trying to give up smoking here in our house. It's a slow process.

11:14 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL!

11:14 pm

jillibus

We were too busy travelling to dog shows in those days

11:14 pm

Jacula

I'm hungry!

11:15 pm

jillibus

I don't miss smoking ONE BIT.

11:15 pm

cosdem

11:15 pm

jillibus

11:15 pm

Uneaixoise

11:15 pm

Uneaixoise

11:16 pm

cosdem

cosdem

11:17 pm

Uneaixoise

11:17 pm

jillibus

My d-i-l's brother has stage 4 lung cancer. It killed Geroge VI among countless others. QUIT.

11:17 pm

Uneaixoise

jilli, I quit many years ago

11:18 pm

jillibus

I smoked from age 14 on, quite in 1989 with the help of nicoteme gum and Paipo (fake cigs which dragged like real ones).

11:18 pm

cosdem

i know i want to quit.. unfortuantely ryan smokes too and he wont quit.

11:18 pm

cosdem

11:19 pm

jillibus

11:19 pm

Jacula

Nicotine is as hard to quite as heroine, so the medics say.

11:19 pm

Uneaixoise

11:19 pm

cosdem

11:20 pm

cosdem

my neighbors also smoke and hey hang out with us all the time. .so.... and my MIL smokes.. every one i know smokes.. all my friends... its hard

11:20 pm

Jacula

I deliberately misspelled that so as not to end up in the PB. LOL

11:20 pm

cosdem

but the weird thing is.. i quit meth cold turkey 6 1/2 years ago. how can i quit meth cold turkey and not cigs?

11:20 pm

Uneaixoise

i believe it, jac -- good friend continued to smoke for several yrs after a radical mastectomy -- has finally quit for good but it was a long hard process for her

11:21 pm

jillibus

nicotine is deadly and the hardest to quit, we're told.

11:21 pm

Uneaixoise

she spent a fortune on Nicorette gum

11:22 pm

Jacula

Une - I've gone into the local hospice to see realtives dying from smoking-related cancers, nipped out for a cigarette during the visit only to see doctors, nurses and patients (with mobile drips) out there smoking, too.

11:26 pm

Uneaixoise

11:26 pm

11:27 pm

cosdem

11:27 pm

11:36 pm

Uneaixoise

jillibus

Weather lately has been absolutley nuts -- very inconsistent like that.

11:43 pm

Uneaixoise

i'll be safe when the sirens start -- supposed to have severe storm in middle of nite -- ugh -- which means I need to go ahead and give scaredy-cat dog her storm sedative :-)

11:43 pm

jillibus

good idea, une -- poor pup!

11:44 pm

stidmama

oh golly, Une... *soothing sounds to puppy*

11:44 pm

jillibus

We had a scaredycat Dane who used to hide her head under the TV if there was a thunderstorm.

11:45 pm

Uneaixoise

finally gave up last yr and asked vet for prescription med -- she got so cared in one bout of heavy lightning, she actually gave herself a fever

11:45 pm

Uneaixoise

*scared

11:45 pm

jillibus

(we raised the TV so that we could see it over the Danes if they got in the way)

11:45 pm

Uneaixoise
