6:23 am

rubyfoo

are you still crabby, herin, or have we cheered you up?

6:24 am

herinfernallady

You have but trying to find out some news

6:24 am

FMitch

Back shortly wsa on my way to get some lunch but had to help with the st8.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

ty for your help, it worked

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I got distracted. My high school friend's next door neighbour's son died this morning after a car accident at the start of the month

6:26 am

rubyfoo

oh, horrible!

6:26 am

Anniebrook

How awful

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Well I hate to be cruel but were they died it is a stretch of road that has had a few road deaths and has traffic lights as a deterrence to speed but no one gives a crap. Lost about 5 acquaintances my 20's to speeding.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

we would never think you cruel, herin, just realistic!

6:32 am

herinfernallady

I think it is the fact I had to listen to a lot of accident cases when I worked in court security just get sick of hearing wasted life

6:32 am

rubyfoo

are there any words starting with ocean?

6:33 am

car.eeyore

Herin, I am sorry to hear of the loss.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

hello car.

6:34 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Then his friends post pics up of their ''cool' cars drinking and driving morons

6:37 am

rubyfoo

and probably texting at the same time!

6:43 am

herinfernallady

no they didn't even slow down at an interesection. I just said I really don't care about them acting like this but it scares me thinking that my loved one may be killed or hurt bcause of their actions

6:45 am

7:11 am

Nef

We are going to a Twins game in 2 weeks at their new stadium! We couldn't figure out the handicapped seating last year when it first opened; --then DH got too sick to go.

7:11 am

Mom

I am sure you will have a great time Nef

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Nef, Have a great time

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Mom, the wedding is soon...did you get a dress yet?

7:13 am

Mom

:-( no not yet

7:13 am

Mom

June 4th

7:13 am

Mom

I did look last week and I had two choices .... matronly or slutty

7:14 am

bichon

Love it Mom.

7:14 am

Anniebrook

LOL....which did you pick, I hope slutty

7:14 am

Mom

I tried slutty but son ve**ed that idea

7:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

:blink:

7:15 am

Mom

it was a halter dress. the top was all this heavy beaded and jeweled junk and the bottom half was feathers

7:15 am

Mom

Hi Kap

7:15 am

Anniebrook

I know...all the dresses are mid thigh.....did that 50 years ago...the dress I have is mid knee and Liz said it looked okay and to wear it. Saved me more shopping

7:15 am

Nef

don't go to the bridal shop, Mom

7:16 am

Mom

I went to a department store Nef

7:16 am

Mom

I just need a regular dress, knee length, they are being married in a park

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Mom, try the better department stores..you might get lucky

7:16 am

bichon

I got my dress at David's Bridal. They gave a big discount if the bride bought her dress there

7:17 am

Mom

I want to go to Kenwood they have a Dillards, Macy's and Nordstrom

7:17 am

bichon

For my son's wedding, in a park, I wore slacks

7:17 am

Nef

Oh, My! My friend told me that the Bridal shops were the worst place to go for the mothers' dresses! From what you wrote, I assumed that's where you went!

7:18 am

Mom

Whitney has her dress, it isn't a wedding dress, but it is a silk, above the knee dress, very pretty

7:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

I ordered mine from a catalogue. It was a dress with embroidery that happenedto be white. It cost $120.

7:18 am

Anniebrook

Nordstrom is a good store, a bit pricey but worth going to

7:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

Mother's dresses? how depressing that would be.

7:18 am

Mom

I found one on Nordstroms website and it was $108.

7:19 am

Mom

the slutty one was $169

7:19 am

Nef

I saw a beautiful (but black) dress at Macy's last month. It's one of those "go anywhere" styles; 3/4 length sleeves modest neckline, etc

7:20 am

Mom

I hate to run but my sweetie has a 9:00 appt. and I need to scoot.

7:20 am

Mom

(((Hugs))) to all of you

7:20 am

Nef

oh, and less than $100

7:20 am

Anniebrook

bye (((Mom))))

7:20 am

Mom

bye bye (((Annie)))

7:20 am

Mom

bye bye Nef, Bichon and Kap

7:21 am

7:59 am

rubyfoo

51 words left and all on my own, for a change. But probably no more for me

7:59 am

rubyfoo

hahah, I tried it, NOT!

8:00 am

hurshy

of course not, if it counted, it wouldn't be usable in "name that proper noun"

8:00 am

rubyfoo

always worth a try

8:01 am

hurshy

yes... but when playing "name that proper noun" you're supposed to say the answer if you know :)

8:02 am

rubyfoo

50 left and the grid is making me te5

8:04 am

Soodle

Hi Hursh. Hi (((Rubes)))) :-)

8:13 am

uusue2

8:14 am

crosshair

howdy sue:)

8:16 am

Soodle

Aw rats. Work has arrived on my desk - and me sailing through the grid today. Sheesh. Bye all. Work-inflicted Poof....

8:17 am

uusue2

bye, soodle!

8:17 am

crosshair

poor soodles...

8:21 am

uusue2

crossy, our departmental colloquium tomorrow is about proton cancer therapy - we are trying to build a proton therapy facility here at NIU but are waiting for better financial times to float bonds.

8:21 am

uusue2

we have also created a masters degree in medical physics to go along with the center but it too is awaiting funding (need more faculty to teach the courses).

8:27 am

crosshair

very nice indeed sue!

8:27 am

crosshair

i hope you plow through all the red tape and it becomes a reality

8:28 am

uusue2

I actually wrote most of the degree proposal (I was department chair at the time).

8:28 am

uusue2

It's gone through all the university approval procedures but it's waiting for Board of Trustees approval until the therapy center really gets started.

8:29 am

crosshair

red tape kills just as much as some diseases...;/

8:31 am

uusue2

indeed it does, crossy. And lack of money kills a lot more, I think.

8:32 am

crosshair

took our hospital 2 years! just to open 2 more dyalisis slots.people were friving 4 hours 3 times a week to go to other centres

8:32 am

crosshair

driving

8:32 am

crosshair

and there is still a waiting list

8:33 am

crosshair

basically if you need dyalisis here,you cannot work.you are always driving or bonded to a bloody machine for 4 hours

8:33 am

crosshair

ok,crossy is done bitching

8:34 am

uusue2

:-)

8:34 am

uusue2

still a better system than ours, I think.

8:34 am

uusue2

My son's girlfriend injured her foot but isn't doing anything about it, since she has no health insurance...

8:34 am

crosshair

it is..i should be graetfull for what we do have

8:35 am

crosshair

and this is the problem down there,what is happening with obamas new healthcare idea?

8:35 am

uusue2

my partner has no health insurance either, and I am terrified of what might happen if he gets sick or has an accident

8:36 am

uusue2

the republicans are doing their best to get rid of it, while costs continue to skyrocket.

8:36 am

crosshair

or are the rich trying to squash it in fear they might pay 100 dollars more tax a year??? lol

8:36 am

uusue2

it does allow me to keep my son on my insurance plan but a state law did that already anyway

8:36 am

crosshair

ahh

8:37 am

uusue2

yeah, this seems to be the land of give me things but don't make me pay for them :-(

8:38 am

crosshair

just before we started up our provincial health plan,we had what was called O.H.I.P ontario hospital insurance plan and for a family of 3 it was costing 100 per head per month

8:38 am

crosshair

well the rich do not care,they have their blue cross premium plan....

8:38 am

uusue2

some repub politician made a speech a couple of days ago comparing health care to slavery (once they get you in their grasp you are dependent on them) - amazing

8:39 am

uusue2

that's pretty cheap, crossy

8:39 am

crosshair

as it is now,about 35-40 percent of the tax we pay goes to health care,but everyone has access to everything.you do not lose your home if you break your leg or get cancer

8:39 am

bonkler

i don't recall ever paying a penny for ohip

8:39 am

bonkler

outside of taxes i mean

8:39 am

uusue2

a decent plan for my partner would be over $1200 a month and that's if he could even be insured, which he probably can't

8:39 am

crosshair

it used to cost bonkler

8:40 am

crosshair

was never free

8:40 am

uusue2

so just waiting until we can get married and I can put him on my plan...

8:40 am

crosshair

the old brown cards

8:41 am

crosshair

wow! sue! that is crazy..get that health care going down there!!!

8:41 am

uusue2

i wish, crossy

8:42 am

crosshair

everyone has to remember when voting on this in the states,everything else in life is secondary if you end up with terminal cancer cause you had to wait a year to afford to see a doc about it

8:42 am

uusue2

right now we have him on a $200 per month plan but it only covers hospitalization, and no accompanying costs (that is it would pay the hospital but not doctors or tests or anything)

8:42 am

crosshair

insane

8:42 am

uusue2

I have a friend here with lung cancer and no insurance, he's just waiting to die

8:43 am

crosshair

:((((

8:43 am

crosshair

if i had waited just 6 months my doctor told me that my first cancer would of had me dead

8:43 am

uusue2

but we are being protected from socialist medicine, thank goodness </sarcasm>

8:44 am

uusue2

it can be very aggressive sometimes, crossy, my friend's seems to be moving more slowly

8:44 am

crosshair

so i pay my taxes and smile

8:44 am

crosshair

i am sorry for your friend sue

8:45 am

uusue2

thx - system really is nuts

8:45 am

crosshair

and it is a tough way to go at the end.i have seen it

8:45 am

bonkler

can't find any record of ohip being billed to the individual crossy. i'm 49 and i don't recall ever having to pay an ohip bill.

8:46 am

crosshair

u am 47 and i paid for the old ohip in ontario

8:46 am

crosshair

i

8:47 am

crosshair

48 this may:)

8:47 am

bonkler

there were services not covered but as far as i remember it was funded by the province and through transfer payments from the feds

8:48 am

crosshair

trust me,i had to jump through hoops just to get it for that ammount

8:49 am

crosshair

kept the old slip in my wallet for years just so i would enjoy the new health plan more

8:51 am

crosshair

this is the old ohip,before the red and white cards i am talking about

8:53 am

bonkler

the little odd shaped paper fold over card. never got a bill for coverage. some doctors charged a per month fee for services not covered but the program itself was always funded (as far as google and i can discover) by the province and via transfers

8:58 am

crosshair

well,since at the time it was over half my take home pay,we shall have to agree to disagree;)

8:59 am

crosshair

thats why the new health care plan came into being..too many people were not covered under the old system

9:02 am

bonkler

i think you were getting hosed crossy. i can find no evidence of ohip being billed to the resident. being a natural complainer i think i'd have been mighty sore at getting huge bills for coverage

9:04 am

crosshair

since i loved money i would of taken it ,if it was free,i had to go to the ministry at the time and plead low income just to get it at a reduced rate,case before that i was 2 years without as i could not afford it..then got it for just about 280 a month as i recall

9:07 am

bonkler

bizarre. i never paid a nickel and i never went without coverage. ohip was created as a free plan and after extensive searching i can't find any indication of the individual being billed for basic coverage. and i certainly would have remembered a $280 per month bill.

9:08 am

crosshair

i was in construction..no benefits,no company coverage was risky not having it

9:08 am

crosshair

i will never forget...had to eat kraft dinner often:)

9:14 am

good afternoon all

9:14 am

howdy sprite;))

9:15 am

cks

let me just say crosshair, it is not the rich americans job to take care of the rest

9:16 am

crosshair

lol cks,so i assume you are not in favour of a nation wide health care for all

9:17 am

cks

not at all, healthcare is not a constitutional right

9:18 am

cks

i'm sorry, not trying to make a light game political

9:18 am

cks

lol

9:18 am

crosshair

lol,get out of my way you minimum wage worker and go die somewhere else so i do not have to see you do it...it costs more to let health problems go too far

9:18 am

sprite

on a totally different note :)
Check out my Pooktre art. Also a link in my profile text for more pictures. Talking about patience! It is something like BIG bonsai, grin.

i just downloaded internet explorer 9 and now when i enter a word..the cursor goest to add but not back to box where i can enter next word. Does anyone have any suggestions?

11:05 am

yes..use firefox or google chrome;)))

11:06 am

crosshair

been years since i have used I.E

11:06 am

crosshair

so i am not much help with ie,s various issues

11:06 am

RoseAnn

thank you

11:08 am

crosshair

the new ff4 is quite nice,but i find google chrome faster with refresh and flash animations and rendering

11:12 am

crosshair

chrome is quite nice if you do alot of those FB games

11:24 am

rbud

I still use Opera for a lot of stuff, I find it works well for Babble, Lickety's, morewords, and babbledabble - I've always loved that I can hover over the babble or lickety tab while in morewords and see a little thumbnail of the grid to look for words on, without clicking back and forth. (don't have expert)

11:24 am

rbud

but I use Chrome for most everything else, love it.

11:26 am

crosshair

i have yet to try opera

11:28 am

rbud

I got hooked on it years ago when IE went wonky for me, and it's improved over the years. Almost as roomy as chrome at the top, none of the extra bars and garbage that take up so much room in IE

11:28 am

RoseAnn

i restored my old internet explorer. it fixed my problem. i dont really use the browser for anything but email and babble so simple is best for me..but ty cross

11:30 am

11:31 am

i am forever capping out the cpu chip in this old rig lol

11:32 am

gues it does not like 30 tabs running at once;))

11:32 am

RoseAnn

lol..probably not

11:33 am

rbud

my first love when I got on the net was the little point-and-click room escape games, opera runs those fine for the most part, but not the big flash games like those on facebook. chrome's better for those.

11:33 am

maybe turn off the 3 torrents and the live vid straming i have running in the bg as well;0

11:34 am

could never get firefox to work for me, would install it, use it once, then it wouldn't open again. but haven't tried it since I got the new pc.

hi all, late lunch here

2:18 pm

uusue2

just had to explain to a student that having exactly the same lab writeup as another student is in fact cheating :-(

2:19 pm

Judi

Oy vey.

2:20 pm

uusue2

if you're lab partners, then you will have the same data, but you should write your own discussion. Sigh.

2:22 pm

Judi

What grade are we talking about here, sue?

2:27 pm

uusue2

College students, Judi.

2:28 pm

uusue2

(sorry, pee break :-)

2:28 pm

Judi

Double oy vey in that case.

2:28 pm

uusue2

Seems to me they should know this but I'm going to add clarification to the lab web page anyway.

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

Sometimes I wonder if college is not just a large holding tank for the majority of the students...

2:29 pm

uusue2

Holding tank - I like that! Certainly some of them are swimming around aimlessly.

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

I should have a more positive view. but alas I dont.

2:29 pm

Judi

Hmmm. Sounds more like a septic tank.

2:30 pm

MollyL

Sue, you must have such patience. If I were their teacher, and they had not grasped such a simple concept by college, I would pat them on their dim heads, and suggest trade school.

I'm down to 28. Which is remarkable, considering how loopy I am on cold meds.

2:38 pm

and where are all these v words? I want to make venal, and viaduct, and...

2:38 pm

redturtlehead

hope you feel better soon Judi. I myself am recovering from my crazy injected hip MRI today...

2:38 pm

uusue2

oh, yuck, red! I had a brain MRI yesterday but no injections, thank goodness.

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

Yes the MRI itself was alright, it was getting my hip filled with dye that sort of was upsetting. But I did get to see it on the screen, the injection part.

2:39 pm

MollyL

True Sue. But I have you elevated to Esteemed Teacher and it didn't cross my mind that you would think of them as paying customers. But by being there, they are your job security.

oh, that would be interesting! I didn't get to see mine.

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

I didnt get to see the MRI part. I hope your Brain is wonderful UUSure.

2:40 pm

uusue2

I was being at least somewhat snarky, molly, especially having read an article recently on how college students view their education (more like something they've bought than something they have to work for).

2:40 pm

uusue2

lol, red! I don't know how wonderful it is but it sure hurts :-(

2:41 pm

Judi

What a coinkidink, uusue. I had an MRI done on my hip a few weeks ago.

2:41 pm

Judi

No dye though. What were they looking for on yours?

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

I meant to say I hope you get good news from your MRI.

2:41 pm

MollyL

I think it's the ones that view it as "something Mom and Dad are paying for" that skate the worst. My kids became much better students when they started paying their own tuition.

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

And my goodness Judi. I had the dye to look for a torn labrum.

2:42 pm

uusue2

I'm expecting them to say that it looks fine, so probably my headaches are due to stress. Which I suppose is good. At least in a way :-)

2:43 pm

redturtlehead

it is good not to have an abnormal MRI, but having lots of headaches is not fun either.

2:44 pm

uusue2

I agree, Molly.

2:44 pm

Judi

Ah. I won't know the results of mine until 4/20 when I meet with the orthopaedist. Bones look good, so it's a tendon or ligament problem probably.

2:45 pm

Judi

I recommend chiropractic for stress headaches. Works great.

2:45 pm

redturtlehead

Maybe you tore your labrum also? though it isnt that common. I dont know my results either...need to make an appointment!

2:46 pm

Judi

Dunno, Red. But, I'm too young to be this gimpy.

2:47 pm

redturtlehead

agreed.

2:47 pm

Judi

Clue for Go7, please?

2:49 pm

uusue2

hi, judi, I did chiropractors for a long time but no more (too many neck surgeries). They didn't help me anyway.

2:50 pm

Uneaixoise

2:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Headaches! Arthritis! Menopause! What is happening to me!

2:50 pm

uusue2

Molly, here's the article I was referring to: Students as Consumers of Knowledge: Are They Buying What Weâ€™re Selling? http://scientificjournalclub.blogspot.

2:50 pm

Krysten

or go+cons+a word for a thought but change second vowel.

2:51 pm

Judi

Ty. Got it.

2:51 pm

uusue2

hi, kap! Same thing that's happening to a lot of us, I think!

2:51 pm

MollyL

Heading home from work Sue. I'll check it out when I log on at home.

2:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

2:52 pm

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

2:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did I forget to mention dementia?

2:53 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

2:53 pm

Uneaixoise

it's going around, kap :-)

2:54 pm

uusue2

Dementia? Did someone mention dementia? I forget...

2:56 pm

Judi

"Tatty" is so a word, dammit.

2:57 pm

Judi

Did someone mention dementia is a new invention?

2:58 pm

hootowl

howdy people! 2 questions. Has anyone heard from BR in the past 2 days? Une - is McKays still open by you?

2:59 pm

uusue2

it is, judi, just not in this puzzle :-(

3:00 pm

uusue2

and hoot, I thought I saw BR in the last day or two but couldn't swear to it as I have been ridiculously busy

3:01 pm

hootowl

hmm - I know there's been some really bad weather up there but I've been off-line for almost 2 weeks and wondered

3:01 pm

uusue2

last I heard the river had crested and they were ok, hoot, but that was several days ago now

3:02 pm

hootowl

ok - have to do some surfing

3:04 pm

hootowl

We're supposed to be hit again this evening - joy!

3:05 pm

Judi

Oh, jolly good. Fireworks for me!!!!

3:05 pm

hootowl

with tornedoe warnings

3:05 pm

hootowl

I hope you mean the grid! congrats?

3:06 pm

hootowl

tornado

3:06 pm

uusue2

yay, judi!

3:07 pm

uusue2

and boo to the tornadoes, hoot!

3:08 pm

hootowl

yeah!!! It took them 1 1/2 weeks to return power and another 4 days to get internet.

3:08 pm

hootowl

Must be the most inefficient place in the world!

3:09 pm

uusue2

holy cow, hoot, that is a LONG time!!!

3:09 pm

hootowl

tell me about it.

3:09 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, hoot! was outside cutting flowers for a friend's mom --- yes, McKay's is about 15 min max from my house . . .

3:10 pm

Uneaixoise

it's so gorgeous today -- hard to believe the storm crap is returning tomorrow :-(

3:10 pm

hootowl

In NY I was never without power for more than 2-3 days in a hurricane = here it was straight line winds. And now tornedoes

3:11 pm

HarryHood

ooh attentive...almost

3:11 pm

hootowl

Oh great Une! BF wants to go on sat or mon but it's supposed to rain a lot next week.

3:12 pm

Uneaixoise

after the humongous ice storm here a number of years ago, tons of potentially dangerous trees and branches were cut way back all over Nashville

3:12 pm

hootowl

Can you give me an address for it please?

3:13 pm

Uneaixoise

it's on Charlotte very close to the White Bridge Rd intersection

3:13 pm

hootowl

Oh the wrecking crews came thru last year but straight line winds do't care

3:13 pm

hootowl

Are you going to be around for a meet?

3:15 pm

Uneaixoise

depends, hoot --Sat. or Mon.? -- Saturday I'm transporting rescue puppies -- Monday I'll be out of town . . .

3:16 pm

hootowl

Figures! Maybe another time. Where are you tranporting rescues to? And what kind?

3:17 pm

Uneaixoise

tada! here's the link you need: http://mckaybooks.com/locations/nashvi
lle/

3:17 pm

hootowl

thanks

3:18 pm

Uneaixoise

I help with several groups -- almost always moving from Arkansas or other southern state all the way to NJ or Penn or Conn -- they go to a no-kill approved rescue or, often, to folks who've already arranged an adoption via petfinder.org

3:19 pm

Uneaixoise

lots of folks are signed up as drivers -- each "leg" is usually under 80 miles -- I often drive the leg Hurricane Mills to Nashville or Nashville to Cookeville

3:20 pm

hootowl

Wow! Didn't know it involved that much traveling! You should warn me when you go thru here. I'd feed you!

3:20 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, thanks but so far I haven't had to go as far as memphis for a pickup but we HAVE had dogs originating in Memphis

3:21 pm

hootowl

Well glad to know some made it out of here alive.

3:21 pm

Uneaixoise

all the dogs and puppies have been neutered, given their annual shots, and checked for heartworms

3:21 pm

Uneaixoise

and they're soooooooooooooo sweet!!

3:22 pm

hootowl

My lease says no dogs damn it!

3:22 pm

hootowl

actually - no pets

3:22 pm

Uneaixoise

awwww, I have 3 rescue girls that I adore! :-)

3:22 pm

hootowl

First time in my life w/no dog or cat

3:23 pm

Uneaixoise

some of the dogs we get are dogs that belonged to folks who moved into a no-pet situation -- sad

3:23 pm

Uneaixoise

i couldn't stand it, hoot!!

3:23 pm

hootowl

I'm thinking of smuggling in a Guinea Pg but this house isn't kid or small animal safe

3:23 pm

uusue2

I think that's what happened to our dog, une...

3:23 pm

Uneaixoise

and sometimes it's due to elderly folks moving into a nursing home

3:23 pm

hootowl

Well I bribe the neighbors 2 Labs

3:24 pm

Uneaixoise

what's that, sue?

3:25 pm

hootowl

Those bother me the most. Having to give up a pet because of a rule!

3:25 pm

uusue2

family lost their house and couldn't keep the dog - sad for them but happy for us, as she is wonderful :-)

3:25 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, good result then :-)

3:26 pm

Uneaixoise

and then there are the folks who move into a place that takes dogs but no chows or pitbulls/pitbull mixes :-(

3:27 pm

hootowl

chows? All I've known were pussycats

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

and the Nashville Humane Shelter is wonderful, but they always have a really long waiting list

3:27 pm

uusue2

now that's just weird, une! No chows??

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

me too, hoot!!

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

surprised me too, sue

3:27 pm

hootowl

And no matter how much you say it - a pitbull is only as good as it's owner!

3:28 pm

Uneaixoise

and pitbulls/mixes that are raised like normal dogs are very sweet too

3:28 pm

Uneaixoise

have a friend who adopted 2 several years ago and they're great family dogs

3:29 pm

hootowl

I pur pits in the same group as terriers (not all) - too active for small kids

3:30 pm

uusue2

ok, MRI results are in, nothing particular going on, so I should get more sleep (hahaha).

3:30 pm

hootowl

I used to sell dogs - drove the owner crazy cause I'd tell a custmer not to buy gog a for that reason.

3:30 pm

Uneaixoise

well, yeah, probably -- like my brother's weimaraner and labradoodle -- loving goofballs but Truman the labradoodle knocked me flat at Xmas LOL

3:31 pm

hootowl

BUT then I'd sell them something else.

3:32 pm

Uneaixoise

I like the way dogs are listed on petfinder -- they let you know upfront if they're not recommended for children or just for older kids

3:32 pm

hootowl

I always sold something. I was a good saleperson and they realised I was telling them truth

3:32 pm

Uneaixoise

that's really cool, hoot :-)

3:32 pm

uusue2

lol, une, sounds like my labradoodle! very goofy but very sweet (although she doesn't get along well with other dogs)

3:33 pm

hootowl

thank you - I find truth is better than having soeone coming back and screaming at me

3:33 pm

Uneaixoise

I told him not to yell at him -- he was just excited 'cause I had been dancing with him LOL!

3:34 pm

hootowl

It is so nice to have someone understand.

3:35 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, totally!! what's the point of misrepresenting an animal? of course, some people get an idea in their heads about a certain breed and don't do any research

3:36 pm

hootowl

They think all puppies are the same and don't realise that a 6 month old puppy can knock over a 2 yo very easily

3:37 pm

Uneaixoise

exactly

3:37 pm

hootowl

Also think that a small dog is good for a 4-5yo. They usually get dropped.

3:37 pm

hootowl

or squeezed by any age

3:38 pm

Uneaixoise

sigh . . .

3:38 pm

hootowl

they are not stuffed animals!

3:38 pm

bichon

My 2 y.o. grandson is visiting this summer and I fear he will terrorize my Bichon rescues

3:38 pm

Uneaixoise

that's exactly what i was thinking -- squeezing too hard!

3:38 pm

hootowl

sorry - think I'm preacing to the choir

3:38 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, bichon :-)

3:38 pm

Uneaixoise

7:41 pm

MollyL

Champ, this is from the Angelsong page on Babble: WORDS NOT ALLOWED: Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.
Which is pretty much BS because abbreviations like "st 5/10" are allowed and "foreign words that are not in the Enable dictionary" means that the outdated Enable dictionary can pick and choose which foreign words it allows.

7:42 pm

MollyL

Hi Welki.

7:42 pm

MollyL

Hi Red, how are you feeling?

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Welki. I think I killed chat.

hi again everybody.

Red, what did you do to your hip?

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

I had an arthrogram and MRI today. they inject the Hip bone and joint with contrast...sort of intense for a fraidy cat likeme.

7:50 pm

Nef

that doesn't sound good. What happened?

7:51 pm

jillibus

Hi all -- my head's awhirl. Just got the new desktop and spent the afternoon with great seller-person, transferring [almost] everything to it and trying to figure out what's missing.

7:51 pm

redturtlehead

I've had some pain for 6-9 months, and so they think I have torn my hip labrum, but well all is well....I suppose.

7:51 pm

redturtlehead

Congrats Jillibus is it an upgrade of sorts?

7:51 pm

jillibus

red -- you a nurse and a fraidy cat???

7:52 pm

redturtlehead

yep, I know exactly what can go wrong...and how easily it can go!

7:52 pm

jwr

Hi all. Molly, Champ - my 2cents in: yes Enable is outdated and full of holes but I find that the words I might find "foreign" are usually in common use in other English-speaking countries or even other parts of my own. The na4,5 in my experience (living NY, VT, CO, & CA) is as Spanish as spaghetti is Italian. It's in common use as Nothing, but its English (if you will) connotes disappointment ... as opposed to the joy of winning 3-0 (nothing).

Red, I need a hip replacement because my labrum is shredded. I KNOW how that hurts!

7:53 pm

jillibus

well, my former desktop's motherboard crashed, but I had my laptop and was able to get stuff from the old hard drive onto it. Now it was a matter of getting everyting from that over to the desktop -- most importantly, Babble!

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

Well, thing is it doesnt hurt that much. but I can not lift my leg properly in certain areas and such. i do not want the repair surgery though, its a bear to recover from.

7:54 pm

Nef

I admire your pluck, jilli! :-)

7:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

did it start out as pain in your hip flexor? Like when you walk?

7:54 pm

jillibus

and the link to the new BabbleExpert doesn't work any more!!!

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

It is like a small pain in the groin, thats all. very deep in there. but maybe it isnt damaged at all!

7:55 pm

Nef

mine started out presenting like a pulled psoas muscle; but after 2 months of PT it just kept getting worse!

7:55 pm

jillibus

Oh, nef, I had an expert here with me.

7:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I've had that for a couple of months or more- I don't get to the dr for another two weeks, but this can't be a good thing.

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

I just sort of figured it was part of my on going dysplastic hips.

7:56 pm

Nef

jilli, I love the fact that you are willing to get help and give it a try!

7:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do you think I may have been making it worse by not having it diagnosed? All I do is take motrin before I go to the gym or for long walks

7:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Psoas- a babble word.

7:57 pm

redturtlehead

No you probably arent making it worse, but...I will give my standard statement. if you have to take pain medicine to walk, or such, you should see a doctor.

7:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So the doctor can tell me to take motrin.

7:58 pm

jillibus

red -- not a pulled hip adductor muscle?

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

No doctor should ever recommend you take a pain medicine prior to exersise.

7:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No?

7:59 pm

redturtlehead

well, Jilli I've had it for 9 months, so most likely not a pulled muscle. Does not get wrose, does not get better.

7:59 pm

redturtlehead

Kap, if you mask pain then you can do something to damage yourself worse. I ran on a stress fracture for 4 months by taking motrin ahead of time.

7:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Same here. Why no motrin before excercise? I also have to take prilosec before the gym. Man this excercise is killing me.

8:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cool. I should have remained sedentary.

8:00 pm

MollyL

Red, this is a question from the ignorant, non-medical me. You can run as much as you do on a hip with that much trouble?

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

prilosec is different, but you should not ever take a pain killer before. After, yup..

8:00 pm

jillibus

Well, thanks, nef, but I know I need help with new technology! The people from whom I got the desktop cost a bit more but include wonderful personal service with what they sell.

8:01 pm

redturtlehead

You can Molly, the doctor even said I may be able to put off the repair and finish out my Marathon for 2011, but we will see. It is starting tog et slightly worse, so maybe nto...

8:02 pm

jillibus

bummer, red (no pun intended)

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

but it does hurt a little when I am running...

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

Service is important Jilli!!!!

8:02 pm

jillibus

...maybe that's an unhip remark

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

Ha ha!

8:03 pm

jwr

that was painful jil

8:03 pm

Nef

Sorry; had a phone call. I can't even get up or down or bend or flex without my hip getting caught in some positions.

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

they have the new arthroscopic procedure Nef, but I think you have to have some labrum to put back there.

8:04 pm

MollyL

Red, bless you and your hip. Sending healing thoughts your way. And you too Nef.

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

I have noted a bigger amount of stiffness lately after running.

8:05 pm

Nef

but I'm allergic to aspirin and all of the Motrin-like meds (NSAIDS); and allergic to metal so am trying the injections (CT-guided) to see how that helps for now.

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

Good Luck Nef. I did not enjoy my fluroscopy guided hip injection today. very odd.

8:06 pm

Nef

I think sometimes this "getting old" stuff is for the birds!

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

indeed!

8:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

good all. night

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

Soooo, who loves this grid?

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

Good NIght Kap. Good luck with your walking.

8:07 pm

Nef

bye Kap

8:08 pm

redturtlehead

Alas I must also go to bed. Have a good night all and thanks for the well wishes.

8:09 pm

Nef

Niters, red. And sending you healing thoughts and prayers

It means inte**, as in 'loitering with....' You mean to do something. These days, it might be more recognisable as something your teacher might say to you when you're daydreaming, 'PAY AT*****n!'

9:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the at6 words are nearly identical to each other -- only the 5th letter is diff

9:27 pm

Jacula

ruru - glad you found a simpler way of clueing it. Why didn't I think of that? LOL.

9:27 pm

rururocks

lol.. Maybe I have a simpler brain..lol

9:27 pm

9:29 pm

suefrad625

lol

9:29 pm

Jacula

smart but often sleepless, ruru - so not so smart. Sleep is good!

9:30 pm

rururocks

that's a woman thing...sleepless is normal

9:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

??!!

9:31 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, ruru, I didn't realise how often I said 'actually' until I had kids. When they're little and they start saying what you say, you realise.

9:31 pm

rururocks

lol I bet

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Ys are done woot!

9:32 pm

Jacula

Gwen - if you're questioning sleeplessness for women - it begins when you have kids, continues when they are teenagers and then starts again when the menopause hits.:-(

9:32 pm

suefrad625

gwen, you are just amazing at this!!!!

9:32 pm

rururocks

I was thinking the menopause thing.

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(takes a bow)

9:33 pm

rururocks

Mrs Ru is pretty sleepless most of the time.

9:33 pm

Nef

not for everyone, Jac. There are a lot of women that don't have problems

9:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no kids, no pets, all my time is for ME lol

9:33 pm

rururocks

I do have a question though

9:33 pm

Jacula

And, if you have a teenager who is not your own child living with you and you are also in the Menopause.... well!

9:34 pm

suefrad625

you have someone to beat on jac

9:34 pm

Nef

what is it ruru?

9:34 pm

rururocks

why does it have to be menopause.. and why isn't it womenopause.. what a sexist concept

9:34 pm

suefrad625

videst is too a word. my hips are my videst area

9:34 pm

rururocks

*gggle*

9:34 pm

Nef

cuz a man named it I'm sure, ruru

9:35 pm

rururocks

hmm you might be right there nef

9:35 pm

Jacula

Gwen - I'd like to say 'lucky you!' but I remember how lonely I felt at times. So, teenagers, twenties and partners, who can all be annoying at times, I think I'll hang on to them.

9:36 pm

Jacula

ruru - there's an old joke somewhere on the internet about all women's problems being caused by MEN. Menopause is one of them.

9:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have a developmental disorder and being alone is fine for me

9:36 pm

rururocks

you don't need to tell me that.. I hear it all day long..lol

9:36 pm

stidmama

ruru!!! We got actual wine that cost more than $6 a bottle! We have actually had the Roussane that came from Walter Dacon in the Yakima Valley (2008) -- never had that type before. It was YUMMY.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Gwen - each to his/her own. Whatever suits you.x

9:37 pm

rururocks

oh nice stid.

9:37 pm

rururocks

So

9:37 pm

stidmama

I told the nice man at the wine shop that I like sweet, dessert type white wines and he recommended several state labels, so we are trying them out one at a time.

9:37 pm

rururocks

Roussanne is a lovely wine.

9:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

$6 a bottle, woah! lol

9:37 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid.

9:37 pm

rururocks

great with tomatoey and garlic dishes too

9:37 pm

stidmama

it's a newish wine shop in Tumwater -- I think this was about $35 a bottle.

9:37 pm

Nef

hi stid

9:38 pm

stidmama

Yes, it has a nice crispness to it.

9:38 pm

rururocks

I can recommend some sweet wines sometime if you'd like.

9:38 pm

Jacula

*Shudders at the thought of sweet, dessert type wines. Only likes very dry wines, preferably white.*

9:38 pm

suefrad625

off to be for me. good chogging all

9:38 pm

stidmama

We don't drink wine often, so I figured we are at a point in our lives to try some rather nice ones. It won't break the bank.

9:38 pm

suefrad625

***poof***

9:39 pm

Jacula

'Bye Suefrad.

9:39 pm

stidmama

Yes, that would be nice. Maybe this summer when I have time to be organized and put the list where I will find it again! LOL

9:39 pm

stidmama

(((sue))) see you next time.

9:39 pm

stidmama

9:39 pm

rururocks

9:39 pm

stidmama

thanks ruru -- how's the tennis going?

9:39 pm

Jacula

stid - organise your bookmarks and make a folder entitled 'Nice Wines'.

9:40 pm

rururocks

slowly and each time is getting a little better.

9:40 pm

rururocks

My wrist still hurts some...

9:40 pm

stidmama

that's very good news ruru. I have ice, bubblewrap and another bottle of roussane on standby...

9:40 pm

rururocks

lol.. good thinking

9:40 pm

stidmama

normally a good idea jac -- but no time to keep track of things like that right now. Really. I am completely overwhelmed!

9:41 pm

mcurlschool

Hi stid!!! Surgery went great today only 15 minutes instead of 40 minutes for the procedure. Not doing to bad right now.

9:41 pm

rururocks

my favorite Roussanne is really, really, really expensive

9:41 pm

Jacula

Oh, stid, I just thought, if you're using IE rather than Firefox, it's 'favourites', not 'bookmarks'.

9:41 pm

stidmama

so, one more lesson plan to write tonight. I think I am very close to being fast at these things!

9:42 pm

stidmama

((mcurl)) yes, I saw your lovely facebook post. Excellent news. NOW. *stern mama look* DO be careful to follow doc's instructions and don't push weight-bearing!

9:42 pm

Jacula

stid - if you have time to type an entry into the chog, you have time to save wine names into a folder.

9:42 pm

stidmama

I bet it is, ruru. I am sitting down -- want to spill the beans?

9:42 pm

stidmama

(how expensive can a bottle of drinking wine be?)

9:42 pm

mcurlschool

am camped out on chaise lounge at daughter's house for the next three days at least....and I will be good I promise

9:42 pm

Jacula

Anyway, does anyone need any more clues for the grid?

9:48 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Book and ru.

9:48 pm

Jacula

Actually (LOL, there I go using that word again), the price of the wine is unimportant. What is more relevant is the region the grapes were growen in, what year it was re weather etc.

9:49 pm

Jacula

*grown I meant.

9:50 pm

Jacula

Buy a bottle, taste it. If you like it, drink it. If you don't, use it to clean your drive or your drain. Or, if you paid a million dollars for it, go back and ask for your money back.

9:50 pm

And Jacula.

10:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

phan, nope, though first 3 letters are th same anyway

10:06 pm

Jacula

na5/12 = water nymph and, yes, the 7 does build off that.

Book Doctor Gwen

ack, please ignore my wrong answer! (loking at the wrong words)

10:07 pm

Very last one....id6-21 please.....thanks

10:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have the theme music from dark crystal stuck in my head. (??!!)

10:21 pm

Jacula

mixi - I like that casual post that a surgeon 'just slit your throat'. Not that I want you dead, of course. I just liked the post.

10:21 pm

mixi6

but today's fun and games was getting half my kitchen destroyed.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Cats, kids or builders, mixi?

10:22 pm

10:25 pm

Jacula

I knew it, Gwen! And then if it's 'big dick' as far as you've read it, you just have to have a look at the driver? LOL.

10:28 pm

mixi6

The kitchen was planned. Found a nice desiccated mouse nest in the wall.

10:28 pm

Jacula

LOL!

10:28 pm

pugmama763

anyone need a clue while I stuff my face?

10:28 pm

Jacula

mixi - so how did finding a dessicated mouse nest in the wall destroy half your kitchen?

10:29 pm

mixi6

it was a result, not a cause.

10:30 pm

pugmama763

10:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

see my page on New Words for Bad Drivers . . . http://tomfolio.pbwiki.com/Drivers

10:31 pm

Jacula

Will do, Gwen.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Oh, I see, Mixi - the cats found the nest?

10:32 pm

Jacula

Well, so long as it was an old nest and no fresh mouse droppings or trails were around, it shouldn't be a problem?

10:33 pm

mixi6

I'm having the wall moved to make a bigger kitchen.

10:34 pm

Jacula

Having kept mice as pets, I know what fresh and old mouse stuff smells like and I'm sure your cats do, too.

10:34 pm

Jacula

Wall gone = problem gone!

10:35 pm

Jacula

I have to go now. Enjoy your new kitchen, Mixi.x

10:36 pm

mixi6

Yes, the cats occasionally bring in a mouse, vole, shrew, rat, rabbit, cardinal. I put bells on the cats and they bring in less.

I changed my Pooktre icon because flosey and sprite (and anyone else?) chose to show the Pooktree Men, so here's a Chair.

11:43 pm

The next icon theme is A Word from the Grid which will then be a clue.

11:44 pm

cosdem

I was gonna change it too but saw it was a word from grid so Im gonna wait

11:46 pm
