rubyfoo

hello everybody

5:59 am

uusue2

morning, all!

6:02 am

rubyfoo

hello sue

6:04 am

uusue2

I am in Ann Arbor, MI, will visit my stepmother in the hospital in a couple of hours

6:04 am

rubyfoo

is it spring there yet? I think Mich is generally pretty late

6:05 am

uusue2

very early spring, bulbs are up but leaf buds are just starting

6:06 am

rubyfoo

here the spring flowers are finished, fruit trees have finished flowering, starting to form fruit, roses and peolies are budding, azaleas are open and allium are gorgeous!

6:06 am

uusue2

sounds lovely, ruby!

6:06 am

rubyfoo

peonies*

6:06 am

rubyfoo

it's the best time here

6:07 am

uusue2

my peonies are about 10-cm-tall shoots right now :-)

6:07 am

rubyfoo

I've had to stake mine twice, so far

6:08 am

rubyfoo

what color peonies do you have?

6:08 am

rubyfoo

they're my favorite

6:08 am

uusue2

white

6:08 am

uusue2

they are very lush, and have a lovely scent

6:08 am

rubyfoo

I only have one white plant, with dinner-plate-size flowers. The rest are shades of pink and magenta

6:09 am

rubyfoo

and they usually open at the same time as the first roses

6:09 am

uusue2

my roses come a little later (but I only have a couple)

6:10 am

rubyfoo

what color roses?

6:10 am

uusue2

pink

6:11 am

uusue2

they are kind of old-fashioned roses, not hybrids

6:12 am

rubyfoo

I love antique roses! I have one that got so big it had to be divided. It's extremely thorny

6:12 am

uusue2

mine are pretty thorny too :-)

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I think when they hybridize, they try to eliminate the thorns

6:13 am

uusue2

I also have a lot of purple coneflowers (they are native where I live) but they come up later. Echinacea purpura.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

they have health benefits, no?

6:13 am

uusue2

and tiger lilies, and daylilies

6:14 am

uusue2

well, supposedly, but mostly they are pretty and provide habitat for bunnies and food for the birds

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I only have a small patch of daylilies; the only time I bought lily buls, I waited too long and they liquified

6:14 am

uusue2

mine just kind of grew

6:15 am

uusue2

anyway, time to hit the showers. when my flowers are up I'll take a picture :-)

6:15 am

rubyfoo

and the wisteria is in full flower!

6:15 am

rubyfoo

please, I would love to see, and if you like, I'll reciprocate

6:16 am

uusue2

that would be lovely :-)

6:16 am

uusue2

bbl -

6:16 am

rubyfoo

bye sue!! you are a good person dealing with all this hospital stuff!

6:50 am

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, we're discussing peonies?? I have more buds this year than in ages!

6:50 am

Uneaixoise

7:37 am

lynxxx

Une - I think I will just buy them occasionally, tree ones seem to be better but I don't think it cold enough where I am. I know they grow them up in the (small) mountains 30 miles away where it is cooler. Plus I don't think I have the right space in my small garden for them

7:37 am

redturtlehead

Good morning babblers!

redturtlehead

My rankings just plummetted to an all time low! I guess I should not have started the biggie and not even got half way.

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

makes sense, lynxxx -- they have to have a couple of months of really cold winter

7:38 am

Mom

lol Red, as did mine. I only managed 51 words yesterday. I shouldn't have bothered

7:39 am

redturtlehead

Oh well, we learn. It was fun for the few words I found!

7:39 am

JBV

hi red -

7:39 am

7:39 am

redturtlehead

those were in my Moms garden when I was a child....

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

tx :-)

7:40 am

JBV

here's something strange - I have amaryllis bulbs in 3 pots which never bloomed for Christmas and they are all blooming now!!

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

i love love love them

7:40 am

lynxxx

My Mom had tiger lillies

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

that's not strange, jbv -- i have some that just bloomed

7:40 am

JBV

THe first one is on a stalk almost 3 feet tall!

7:40 am

JBV

the other two are about to open

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

it all depends on when you start withholding water and put them in the dark

7:41 am

JBV

I never did any of that - I just left them out on the windowsill and kept watering them

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

altho this year I didn't put mine in the dark and they bloomed beautifully

7:42 am

redturtlehead

I can not stand how those plant smell! Narcissus indeed...

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

you don't like the smell of narcissus?

7:42 am

redturtlehead

yugh.

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

love 'em

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

my only stinky flower is my yellow iris -- so pretty but stinky :-)

7:43 am

redturtlehead

they are sooo pretty...but i think they stink.

7:43 am

lynxxx

I had belladonna bulbs in my garden for about 12 years - threw them away last year because they had never flowered. Should I have been digging them up?

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

my purple ones smell like grapes :-)

7:43 am

JBV

I put some daffodils in a vase but couldn't stand the smell either

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

lynxxx!!!!

7:44 am

JBV

bulbs usually require digging up and storing

7:44 am

redturtlehead

Hello Lynnxx!

7:44 am

JBV

I did it for a few years with gladiolus -they were so lovely but a lot of work

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

i don't dig mine up . . .

7:44 am

lynxxx

gulp - I didn't know - really!

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!

7:45 am

JBV

but you're in a different zone, Une - here they would not surive, I think

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

lynxxx, it all depends on the zone you're in

7:45 am

redturtlehead

My elephant ears are coming up after a period of dormancy, it bloomed last year...and I hope it does again!

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

snap, jbv! LOL

7:46 am

lynxxx

maybe its my soil as well - quite sandy. Other people in Melbourne have them flowering beautifully

7:46 am

uusue2

by me, we have fall-planting bulbs (crocus, daffodil/narcissus, hyacinth, tulip) that survive the winter and come up in the spring; then there are spring-planting bulbs that bloom in the fall. Those you have to dig up before the winter, and I can't name any because I never plant any :-)

7:47 am

uusue2

and we have pretty harsh winters (-20F/-30C) so anything that survives the winter here would survive almost anywhere, I would think (except in truly Arctic climates)

7:48 am

Uneaixoise

yep, we have cold winters but nothing like that, sue

7:48 am

uusue2

anyway, if I am going to do what i came here to do i had better pack up, check out of the motel, and head over to the hospital. Probably won't be back online today, so see you all tomorrow!

7:48 am

Anniebrook

*puts pot of coffee, cream, sugar, bagels, cream cheese, miniature danish on the sideboard* --help yourselves

9:16 am

Mark Jones

yw, aloy. Sorry, stepped out for a second.

9:17 am

9:17 am

sprite

so very true! We all tend to look no further than what we are used to, don't we.

9:18 am

rastapopolous

Maybe the Cooks do currency like Lichtenstein does stamps - for the collector market

9:18 am

Hmmm, I collect coins, not stamps. :(

9:19 am

could be the case. Lovely! They might make a collector out of me that way, lol.

ivesy3

nm just got it.. now i can go out lol

11:20 am

Mark Jones

I am doing quite well, thank you. What about you?

11:24 am

Nef

Sorry, as I was trying to tell you I didn't have it my son called

11:25 am

Nef

I have this next week off (vacation) and am really relaxed right ow.

11:30 am

Nef

top row done! :-D

11:35 am

MollyL

Nef! How did you do it? It must have taken hours!!
: P

11:36 am

Nef

hi Molly. Oh, it DID take hours! ;-) (jk) It really took a cup of coffee to find that last word, however. :-)

11:36 am

Nef

Boy, chog is very slow today. No wonder no one is chatting

11:37 am

MollyL

I have no memory for words that end in two vowels. They just do not compute for me.

11:38 am

Nef

I got that one first; it was the contraction that I couldn't see

11:38 am

cybernan

good morning, everyone :)

11:38 am

MollyL

Well, naturally, I got the dirty one first. : P

11:39 am

Nef

hi cyber

11:39 am

MollyL

Hi Nan

11:39 am

Nef

LOL, Molly! You said it; not me! ;-)

11:40 am

Judi

Hiya kids. I think chog lag should be referred to as "slog".

11:40 am

MollyL

Hi Judi

11:41 am

MollyL

Where is Red? Her pants are in the grid. : D

11:41 am

Nef

hi Judi. I like that

11:43 am

Judi

We adopted a little girl kitty yesterday. She's a torti calico mix. Looks mostly torti but has an orange nose. 6-8 months. The shelter has to have her spayed before we can bring her home. I'm hoping by next Saturday.

11:44 am

MollyL

Aw, that's nice Judi.

11:44 am

Nef

I'm sorry about the death of your other cat, Judi. But this sounds like a pretty kitty that you found!

11:44 am

Judi

Thanks, Nef. She is very sweet. She was perching on my shoulders like a little bird. Just loved being petted.

11:45 am

Nef

Sometimes cats can be a PIA at times; but once the house is cat-less; it seems totally empty

11:46 am

ursh

Hello all - Judi what is great is that she probably has'nt had much of a life and now you know she will live the life of Reilly with you and get loved and spoiled daily - makes my heart happy

11:46 am

Judi

Amen to that. We do have another cat, but he's kind of a lone wolf. Not a real love bug like my other cat was. I totally need a love sponge cat.

11:47 am

Judi

Oh, she will definitely be spoiled!

11:47 am

Nef

I'm actually allergic to cats; but our daughter now lives with up and she brought her cat along too. We've had a small dog for over 20 years; but cats are very different. Even though I grouse about my allergies; I really would miss that cat not being here

11:49 am

Judi

What I miss most about my other cat is that his fuzzy little but was always right at the door when I came home from work. And, he always came to bed with me. So strange not to have that suddenly taken away.

11:52 am

MollyL

What the hell kind of a word is en7??? Of course, Enable allows it, but gives no definition. Grr.

11:52 am

Nef

yeah. Our cat is a full-tailed Manx cat; they are more sociable than many other breeds of cats (she was actually a rescue as a 5 week old kitten. The mother rejected her and she was starving to death; also had worms, flease, etc)

11:52 am

Nef

fleas, that was

11:54 am

Nef

I haven't found it yet, Molly (but am looking!)

11:54 am

Judi

Awww. Poor baby. Lucky you found her!

11:55 am

MollyL

Oh, it's supposedly the plural of the gross en word. Very suspect.

11:57 am

MollyL

Does anyone who plays here live in St. Louis? They got hit hard with storms and a tornado last night.

11:57 am

Nef

my daughter found her. She was at farm of the boyfriend-of-the-time's parents farm (I've often wondered if they were a sort of kitty mill; breeding Manx cats)

12:00 pm

Nef

LOL! I just read what I just posted. It's obvious that I need another cup of coffee to make sense today! :-)

12:04 pm

12:08 pm

JBV

back for a bit - Hi Molly, that en 7 is the greek plural of an en 5 which is not in today's grid

12:09 pm

JBV

oh, I see you found it - yes, very gross, but not as bad as some other babble words we have to put up with, including one today...

12:09 pm

ursh

de+end of paper folding art

12:10 pm

JBV

and yes, the en 5 IS in today's grid - sorry, I must need another cup of coffee - be right back

12:11 pm

12:11 pm

cybernan

ty ursh -- would never have found that!

12:12 pm

cybernan

ah -- got it

12:12 pm

JBV

oh, sorry again, first ta 6 has a double Latin vowel combo -

12:16 pm

JBV

alt spelling for te 5

12:18 pm

MollyL

*Sigh* Sometimes I feel like the words in this grid are in a language I do not speak.

12:18 pm

cybernan

I thought this grid was supposed to be in English -- annoying that we have all these foreign suffixes and purely foreign words like the ga 6 -- ones that are also used commonly in english I can understand, but ga 6?!

12:18 pm

MollyL

Nan! Great minds think alike.

12:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

can we raise a peaceful protest for deposing enable in favor of a more benevolent dictionary?

12:19 pm

MollyL

Yes Kap. I will go on a hunger strike right after Easter.

12:20 pm

JBV

I don't mind a dictionary but it should at least have a definition for each word listed - I hate it when I look up a word and there's nothing there

12:20 pm

MollyL

I do too JBV. I think that's cheap. I had to go on an internet search for the definition of en7

12:20 pm

sammysmom

still stuck on the first 3 ta words

12:21 pm

cybernan

first ta word is like the te 5 babblet with an extra vowel at the beginning

12:21 pm

MollyL

t + first two vowels + a her*** is a tear in your abdominal wall.

12:22 pm

It's a trade off Soodle. Wait until you get the content smirk that means "They are my grandchildren. I can spoil them rotten and then hand them back off to you." That is payback like ten.

3:12 pm

Soodle

Roll on the day, Moll!

3:15 pm

MollyL

Oh and when the grandkids come along, all of a sudden you see your kids all the time. Way more frequently than you did before. That is because they are dropping them off to be babysat. I say Bring It On. I can't wait to be GramMolly.

i can overcome my shyness when i know what the rules are

4:43 pm

I am quite shy around extraterrestrials!

Sorry jmc to make you sulk. (Passes jmc some dark chocolate.)

4:44 pm

See, I DO believe BR! And ruru too. And maybe red.... but because of her vocation and position in life; I can't imagine jmc as shy!

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

mmmmm dark chocolate goes so well with jack

4:45 pm

rururocks

I am far from shy nef..

4:45 pm

I have thought about how odd it is for the written rules to be so often ignored while violating an unwritten rule always has consequences

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

you can hear one of my speeches here--at riverside church where MLK spoke http://tinyurl.com/3z3j9ly

4:49 pm

i agree BR but people think i am a hardnose when i play by the written rules

jmcnrick

lol! my daddy used to say that too!

4:54 pm

Nef

I think that the uncle who raised me probably lived by that rule too ruru

4:55 pm

o-o

Rules, like laws, tell people what is expected of them. If there are rules, they should be enforced universally and evenhandedly. If the rules are enforced one time and not the next, enforcement becomes capricious and unfair.

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

actually one of my favorite quotes on the DOJ building is: A country not ruled by laws will be ruled by the caprice of man

4:56 pm

I have a little statue of 4 children across the world with a music box in it that plays "we are the world" that's been packed a way in a box. Our grandson knocked the box over when he was here and I didn't look inside it. DH just opened it and now the music box doesn't work. The statue is still good. I'm wondering if I should try to fix it myself or not....

That quote must refer to the divine right of kings as opposed to the rule of law ... Will always remember Cheney after 911 in an interview on PBS saying the US must go over to the dark areas and employ the rule of man and not the rule of law.

BUNNIES!!!!!

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

bunnies?

8:46 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy!

8:47 pm

Pinikula

evening all

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Jes. Yes, I have 4 house bunnies--my beloved kids.

8:47 pm

jesdraggon

yay, bunnies! :)

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Pini

8:48 pm

Pinikula

hey scrabs, jes....you guys missed my fun yesterday...

8:48 pm

Pinikula

...had to get a tetanus shot ... yeehawww

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

What happened, Pini?

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh whatup?

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

i'm not sure that comes in as my definition of fun, pini...

8:49 pm

Pinikula

Koda and I were playing ball before work; he adjusted his grip and my hand got in the way ;)

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

ouc

8:49 pm

jesdraggon

ouch

8:49 pm

Pinikula

a pinprick puncture...

8:50 pm

Scrabbler

Not getting infected, I hope.

8:51 pm

Pinikula

the doc gave me a tetanus shot (with a whooping cough booster), antibiotic (for the mild swelling and blush of redness)

8:51 pm

jesdraggon

oh, the pu6 and 7 is a good combo, haven't seen that in a grid before :)

8:51 pm

Pinikula

...and instructions to soak in warm water (not sure what that's for)

8:52 pm

jesdraggon

probably to decrease swelling by drawing fluid out. Epsom salts in the water may help too.

8:52 pm

Scrabbler

Heat draws in blood flow, white blood cells--> prevent + fight infection.

8:52 pm

jesdraggon

Water will also help keep the puncture open, so any fluid can drain.

8:52 pm

Scrabbler

*looking for pu 6 + 7*

8:52 pm

Pinikula

ahhh, explanations help; especially when something doesn't really make sense ;)

8:53 pm

jesdraggon

it's unfortunate that many MDs don't have good explanation skills. Same is true (maybe even more so) of many veterinarians--as a lot we are not the best at communication.

8:54 pm

Pinikula

so, happily, I come to Babbleland!

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

were all is right with the world! :)

8:55 pm

Pinikula

y'all are saints! :)

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

pu6/27 builds off the pu4/7

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

there's a 5 in the middle there too, so it's actually a 4, 5, 6, 7 set

8:56 pm

Scrabbler

pu4 as in like larval form?

9:03 pm

stidmama

I am also now feeling VERY sad... migraine starting. going to have to stop work (and play) thank jes ((hugs back))

9:03 pm

uusue2

ok, I am off the phone now. Will put details in my profile, but the short story is that my stepmother is failing. I am glad that I got to see her, and she was awake for a considerable part of my visit and was happy to see me.

9:03 pm

uusue2

I also got to talk to both my stepbrothers, who were also happy to see me and pleased that I had made the drive, so that was good all around.

9:04 pm

stidmama

(((gentle hugs for sue))) I have no words, just know you and your father will be in my heart.

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

Stid---just do what you can and do it in little bits. Priority = rest + recovery.

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

Is she comfortable, Sue?

9:04 pm

uusue2

thanks stid - I see that you are not feeling well yourself - take care of yourself and get some rest.

9:05 pm

lynxxx

Thats so good Sue, nice for her to know that you still care for her

9:05 pm

uusue2

she seems to be, scrabs, although when I first got there this morning they had a bipap (?) machine on her, to pump air into her lungs, and that was quite uncomfortable.

9:05 pm

stidmama

thanks scrabs... now I have a doctor's advice that I must rest! *grin* and for a change I think I will take the doctor's advice. (((more hugs))) ***lovely choclits for all***

*poof*

9:06 pm

uusue2

but now they have her back on a regular oxygen mask, which is much more comfortable (and her oxygen levels still seem ok, where ok is around 90-92)

9:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

me4/6 & 5/14 pls?

9:06 pm

Scrabbler

BiPAP--can be annoying whether by nose cushions or mask, but can ease breathing.

9:07 pm

lynxxx

select from the me** at the restaurant

9:07 pm

uusue2

this was a full-face mask, held on with velcro around her head.

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. night all happy easter to those celebrating it

9:07 pm

uusue2

apparently her oxygen levels had plummeted during the night.

9:08 pm

uusue2

night, TO!

9:08 pm

lynxxx

bye TOwl - and congrats

9:08 pm

Scrabbler

Congrats and good night, Owl.

9:09 pm

Scrabbler

Sue, just make sure she is getting an abundance of pain meds and sedatives.

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

g'night, TO

9:11 pm

jesdraggon

is good you got to go see her, sue. glad the trip went well, sorry to hear she's failing.

9:15 pm

uusue2

She doesn't really seem to be in much pain, scrabs, and is alert enough to be able to say when she is, which is good. I put a longer update in my profile...

9:16 pm

Scrabbler

Vital signs are good indicators for her pain and anxiety--increasing HR and BP suggest need to increase meds.
