1:28 am

And is a proper name too.
1:28 am

1:29 am

Nate, short for Nathan?
1:29 am
negativeneil

Yes, gremlinn... that's another one.
1:30 am

But what were you asking me that for? I said the De4,5 is a name and works as a word too.
1:30 am
gremlinn

Yes, that's one of the first 4 I mentioned - we're up to 6 now.
1:30 am

And ja4,10 can be a person's name. And je4,9 definitely is.
1:31 am

And ja4,9 of course.

There used to be a time when by mutual agreement politics was not talked about since people can get pretty serious about their views.
1:50 am
hootowl

heck I can't remember any more - is that possible?
1:51 am
gremlinn

I think it's a bad idea to not talk about things just because people can get serious. In fact, that makes it more important to talk about it, I'd say.
1:52 am
gremlinn

If we only talked about things we agreed on, how could we change?
1:52 am

you know I shouldn't have come on. It's 1:51am here and I'm tired. Just couldn't resist

2:07 am
hootowl

It was a numerical version of the alphabet
2:08 am

sorry I'm tired. It's what code looked like to the cmp
2:08 am
negativeneil

Yes, I know what it is... I just didn't see it when I looked and saw the trolling but there was probably much more than would fit on one page of the chog.
2:08 am
negativeneil

I sent another email btw.
2:09 am
negativeneil

I can relate to "tired" at this hour... haven't been sleeping the best with this cold.
2:09 am
hootowl

yep - I wasn't here the whole time - just kept peeking . more than apage full when I saw it. Better than sexual slurs
2:09 am
negativeneil

Yeah, I didn't see those... just the racial ones. Bad enough!
2:10 am
hootowl

Oh good - where? Yahoo or gmail?
2:10 am
hootowl

No one could stand it for long - though some tried
2:11 am
negativeneil

Well you haven't given me your Gmail address yet, so Yahoo.
2:11 am
negativeneil

If I had that, I would've sent the invite to G+.
2:11 am
hootowl

Oh same - just change yahoo to gmail - I changed my profile too
2:11 am
negativeneil

If you use Yahoo messenger though, you'll find an add request there from me.
2:11 am
negativeneil

It's the same user name?
2:12 am
negativeneil

If so you were lucky to get it on Gmail!
2:12 am
negativeneil

It's hard to get any name you want on there... so many people use it, that most names are already taken.
2:12 am
hootowl

really? I may not have gotten it. I've been getting them from people I never heard of and blocked it
2:12 am

2:15 am
negativeneil

They are in my G+ profile. Which you'll have access to view the contents of once you accept my Google+ invitation and add me to your circles too.
2:15 am

2:16 am

Hate to burst your bubble but you will be it!
2:16 am

Huh?
2:16 am

2:16 am
negativeneil

I will be it?
2:17 am
hootowl

If I join I won't be bringing anyone with me. Well maybe BF - He did like that stuff you sent before
2:18 am
negativeneil

You don't need to... but you'll find several people you know there already.
2:19 am
negativeneil

But I need to hit the hay. This cold's not gonna get any better by not resting and sleeping enough!
2:19 am
hootowl

I have to try and make you understand. I signed up for facebook once because my cousin wanted to send me pictures. I have never used it since and when I tried to go in to cancel = they didn't recognise me.
2:19 am
negativeneil

Oh Facebook is a major pain.
2:19 am

Pretty easy Blue, but we really need to be able to chat on a messenger so I can talk you through things on there. I wish you'd use one! You can log into Yahoo messenger again can't you?
2:55 am
Alohablue

exactly kiwi.......glad someone else is somewhat confused about G+
2:55 am

Neil......don't push me further than my brain can handle
2:56 am
negativeneil

Well we've had a conversation on there already once. And we need to be able to do that so I can guide you through G+.
2:56 am
negativeneil

Would be so much easier that way... it's just like chatting here.
2:56 am

I know, I know.....and I appreciate your patience :)
2:57 am

Actually someone posted a guide to G+ on there the other day. I'll try and find that for you.

Literati...that sounds vaguely familiar. I think I've seen that in the Yahoo word games.
3:50 am
negativeneil

Yeah, that's right. It's their version of Scrabble.
3:51 am
negativeneil

I'm addicted to that and their Word Racer game... more so the latter, it's good. Similar to Babble only you have four rounds/grids per game and 2 minutes to enter all the words you can see in each.
3:51 am
negativeneil

So very fast, accurate touch-typing speed is essential.
3:51 am

It's just a Boggle game, basically.

5:15 am

5:16 am
Sally-catlover

5:17 am
Pearl5

*happy dance*
5:37 am
Sally-catlover

Sprite, have you heard of something called Postcrossing? Since you are not as mobile as you would like, it occurs to me you might like it.
5:38 am
sprite

postcrossing? No never heard of that! Hold on, google for the win!
5:39 am
sprite

oh that looks like fun, thank you Sally! I love postcards.
5:39 am
Sally-catlover

<http://www.postcrossing.com> Basically, it's a postcard exchange. You get allocated a random name and address anywhere in the world, you send them a postcard, and then get a postcard back from some other random name and address anywhere in the world. It's great fun.
5:40 am
Sally-catlover

Someone on a usenet and then a FB group put me onto it.
5:40 am
sprite

am gonna sign up for that. Sounds like a lot of fun!
5:41 am
Sally-catlover

Not sure if you can see my profile without being a member, but try this: <http://www.postcrossing.com/user/Sall
y-T>
5:42 am
sprite

yes I can see it, thank you. Very nice :D
5:44 am
sprite

am signing up :)
5:45 am
sprite

what about user name? Should I make something up or give my own name or....
5:45 am
Sally-catlover

It's very addictive, and I've had some lovely cards.
5:45 am
Sally-catlover

You could stick to Sprite?
5:45 am
sprite

oh that would be nice, I like being sprite
5:45 am
Sally-catlover

Would be funny if I was given your name!
5:48 am
Sally-catlover

One tip, it's worth scanning the cards you send, so you know what you have sent in case the receiver doesn't also do it.
5:48 am
sprite

ok I am in! I am Spright. Sprite was already taken, how evil :D
5:48 am
Sally-catlover

Have fun :-)
5:48 am
sprite

ok so I go buy a bunch of great local cards now?
5:49 am
sprite

thanks for the great hint, Sally, I think I am gonna like this. A link to the outside world.
5:49 am
Sally-catlover

Yup:-) The person who put me on to it is house-bound, so buys most cards and stamps online, but I keep a little stash now and try to find something suitable.
5:50 am
Sally-catlover

It's fun browsing all the other cards too.
5:50 am
sprite

am gonna read all about it after I finish the grid. How come you can see the cards online while they are sent IRL?
5:50 am
Sally-catlover

Cough. This is not getting the grid done.
5:51 am
sprite

lol no, not really. I am down to 3 and really stuck.
5:51 am
Sally-catlover

You scan the cards you get, and when you register you have received one you can put it on your wall, but you don't have to if you don't have a scanner.
5:52 am
Sally-catlover

It's a very well thought-out and organised site. I love reading the statistics, but that's just the way my mind works.
5:52 am
Sally-catlover

Apologies to other babblers for hogging all the chat :-)
5:53 am
sprite

nah, this is fun. Pearl can sign up too if she likes, and the rest wasn't chatting anyway >:-)
5:54 am
sprite

fireflies! Now I am gonna bury myself in the postcard site and re4 everything about it. Thanks again Sally!
5:55 am
Sally-catlover

It's great fun ruby. It took me a long time to decide to sign up, but I really look forward to getting cards and all the stamps and so on. And it's free apart from the cost of the cards and stamps!

I used to be a stamp collector, but when I moved here, I lost my whole International collection. Still have my US mint sheets and plate blocks, however
6:20 am

BTW, sally, no more herons. Now we have a fancy pigeon who comes each day for a quik bath and a beautfiul female common hawk, who is trying to pick off birds on the feeder.
6:44 am
rubyfoo

I don't mind because she's gorgeous and only kills what she can eat
6:45 am
Sally-catlover

Oh dear! I feel the same about the hawks. Lovely birds but ... We have a lot of buzzards here which are very beautiful.

9:50 am
Dorens

i haven't drunk vodka in many years... once drank the real thing kept in a freezer with a coupleof buddies at a wild 40th birthday party... had to sit through daughter's dance recital rehearsal the next morning.. three hours of holding my head in a HS auditorium full of noisy little girls. ugh! So she was shocked to see me drinkinig it. but they ran out of wine!
9:51 am
MollyL

Dorens, sounds like a great party. Glad your girl had a nice birthday celebration.

Dorens

10:23 am
Dorens

only slightly boisterous.. all in good fun though. some folks were there with a 9 year old boy (not in ourparty) who danced up a storm. the revue was hilarious (even had amichael jackson impersonator)
10:24 am
Anniebrook

Yes, years ago I used to go to the nightclubs on Brighton Beach Avenue. Just living where I do is like living in Russia.
10:25 am
Dorens

i have always wanted to go there and was so excited when rachel told me. it was the most fun party i've attended in a while.

10:28 am
Anniebrook

Yes! Finally! a lovely day!
10:29 am
Dorens

yes, isn't it nice? yesterday they said it would raihn today. so glad it didn't
10:29 am
Scrabbler

Sunny here and 65, if not higher already. I had coffee, breakfast, read the paper, listened to mom on the phone, played words on FB, did the Quote Puzzler games, and am here briefly.
10:30 am
Anniebrook

How is your Mom,. Scrabbs?
10:30 am
Dorens

anyone who likes jazz put on wbgo.org and listen. I am sitting here answering phones for the fundraising drive
10:31 am
Scrabbler

My mother is a chatterbox and needs someone to listen to her ramble. My father does the best he can. My mother thinks he is going deaf but after a while he shuts her out. She gets stuck in minutiae--obits, news stories...
10:32 am
Dorens

no annie they don't. they actually live in northern nj.. they are very nice.. she speaks english well with somewhat of an accent,...he drinks a lot of vodka and is incomprehensible
10:32 am
Scrabbler

How can there be 9 L words? I found 3 li words.
10:33 am
hego

Scrabs My mother talked continuously the last few years of her life.
10:33 am
Dorens

scrabbs, that goes with the age i'm afraid. my mom used to disdain friends and relatives who did that, and now she does it constantly...sometimes i have to say come on mom, that part is unnecessary. get to the pointk, please
10:33 am
hego

Drove us all crazy!
10:33 am
Scrabbler

My mother dwells among the trees, sees every leaf, and cannot see the forest.
10:33 am
Anniebrook

dorens, are wedding bells in the future?
10:34 am
hego

It's like astream of consciosness thing.
10:34 am
Scrabbler

She goes off on tangents and also provides too much detail, such as the exact conversation rather than the outcome.
10:34 am
Anniebrook

scrabbs, I have a friend like your Mom, drives me crazy
10:34 am
Dorens

i hope so annie, even thought that maybe it would happen at the party, but not yet
10:34 am
hego

sounds familiar.
10:35 am
Scrabbler

My sisters and I joke that we will turn into our mother. Sadly one already has.
10:35 am

I hope so Dorens
10:35 am
Scrabbler

Wow, Doren.
10:35 am
Anniebrook

I hope so too, dorens
10:35 am
Dorens

it sure does hego and scrabbs. my sister and i have a pact.. we nudge each other (gently) if one of us begins to sound too much like her, in various ways
10:36 am
Anniebrook

phone, bbs
10:36 am
Dorens

and my sister has taught her the expression TMI.. when really she means TMD(etail)
10:37 am
Scrabbler

If I ask my mother to sum it up she tells me to stop it and let her talk.
10:38 am
Dorens

oh, my mom is a little better about it --- so far! but i think she does get a bit put out. the weird part is how much that used to bother her when others did it
10:39 am
Scrabbler

I struggle between allowing her to ramble vs cutting her off and having a 30 min call vs 55 min as she did a week ago.
10:39 am
Scrabbler

I must multitask when I listen to her.
10:39 am
hego

the only way.
10:40 am
Dorens

we multitask, and also tune her out, often you can get away with saying uhhuh every 30 seconds for a long long time
10:40 am
Scrabbler

And when there is a pause I say, "Pardon," because it is my cue to utter a word.
10:40 am
Dorens

hope my kids don't end up saying this about me twenty years from now
10:41 am
hego

I worry about that too.
10:41 am
Scrabbler

I am afraid that the time-release genes doom us to become our mothers.
10:41 am
Dorens

i think i'll tell mine to let me know when it happens, and train me not to do it
10:42 am

The last couple have been tough, I think. I need a nice, relaxing one.
1:02 pm
jesdraggon

yeah, i didn't finish yesterday's, jan
1:03 pm
jan

I didn't come even close!
1:03 pm
MollyL

I didn't finish yesterday's either. Too many nonsense words in it.
1:04 pm
jan

And long nonsense words at that. It's one thing to have those four letter Babblets...
1:07 pm
uusue2

I missed most of yesterday and am going to miss most of today too - now that the semester is well under way I am not finishing very many grids!
1:08 pm
gremlinn

I've done whole grids on my phone before.
1:09 pm
uusue2

sorry to hear that, sean :-(
1:09 pm
uusue2

I've done parts of grids on my phone, gremlinn, but it doesn't scroll so I tend to get fed up with it well before the grid is done
1:10 pm
gremlinn

Same here - I look at the grid, try to remember a few words to type in, and then type them in together.
1:10 pm

re 6/21 last one plz

Has anyone seen this, regardintg the serious Dead Grandmother phenomenon in college? http://www.cis.gsu.edu/~dstraub/Course
s/Grandma.htm Sue in particular might find it of value.

uusue2

I've given up trying to evaluate excuses, jan - if you miss an exam you get a makeup, and it's not the same exam, and I don't guarantee it will be the same difficulty (although I try to make it similar)
1:12 pm
uusue2

I spent too many years poring over excuses, and got fed up with it
1:13 pm
gremlinn

jan: strange! Never heard anything like that.
1:13 pm
gremlinn

I'm suspect that it's serious given the end though....
1:14 pm
uusue2

and yes, I have heard about a lot of dead grandmothers right around exam time myself.
1:14 pm
jesdraggon

thanks, jan :)
1:14 pm
Aaronitor

seanannerz what was up yesterday
1:15 pm
uusue2

gremlinn, I think it's only serious because that's when we start getting stories about grandmothers dying, not that they actually die around then
1:15 pm
jan

I was reminded of the great set of exam excuses complied by Femalescienceprofessor on her blog. Some of them were amazingly creative.
1:15 pm
gremlinn

Sue: ahh.
1:15 pm
Aaronitor

oh so they created another account with ur name, or did they hack ur account
1:16 pm
uusue2

anyway I have a memorial service to go to today; my secretary's daughter died suddenly - she was disabled (seizure disorder) but not ill, very sad
1:16 pm
jan

So sorry, Sue. Sudden deaths are so hard to accept.
1:18 pm
Aaronitor

ok hey pearl how u doig
1:18 pm
uusue2

anyway, I am off - see you all later (or most of you, if you catch my drift)

1:22 pm

But where does one enter it?
1:22 pm

There is no code Boat.

1:22 pm

Oh, and I sent an email to Dr. G-d a while ago as well.
1:22 pm

Yes, done that also.

1:26 pm

Chrissie, there isn't one. I don't know why this gets perpetuated. It's as lame as the troll.
1:27 pm

Sorry guys, not an email from Dr. G-d, Neil sent an email to me.
1:28 pm

Sorry for the fuss :)
1:28 pm

Yes, boat. Works well doesn't it? :)
1:39 pm

Can a get a clue for the ly 6/27, por favor?
1:40 pm
boatierra

NM, I just saw it, arg :)
1:41 pm
boatierra

Troll-be-Gone sounds like a skit from SNL :)
1:42 pm

Oh, ok. Was gonna try to clue you there. Sorry for the delay... was responding to an email. Hint. ;)
1:43 pm

:)
1:43 pm
uusue2

not mine, apparently - I feel so left out! (wink)
1:44 pm
MollyL

Dr. God was here and hopefully he took care of the unwelcome visitor. People need to take care not to make others feel "excluded" by supposed "codes" that are only emailed to a select few.
1:44 pm

afternoon all! bottom row done

Well done 2Bit.

Oh good lord. Some just don't catch on, do they?

1:45 pm

Sue, I'll send you an email. You'll understand.
1:45 pm

I know you don't Sue, I was referring to other posters who were confused by this, as they were yesterday. And yes, I catch on.
1:45 pm
Minveryork

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today
1:45 pm

thanks Min and hi there
1:45 pm
Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
1:46 pm
uusue2

hi, min!
1:47 pm
uusue2

I understand that when there are trolls around we have to speak in code, for obvious reasons. Doesnt' bother me, I just want to figure it out at some point.
1:47 pm
boatierra

MollyL - It's a joke. There is no code. It’s a ruse to help get rid of the troll until Dr. G-d can get rid of it. If you don't want to feel excluded, then play along (or not obviously up to you). Everyone is welcome. None of us want to exclude anyone at all. Sorry for any hurt feelings.
1:48 pm
Minveryork

It looks like I missed another troll invasion. Was it as bad as yesterday's troll invasion. Actually, yesterday was just annoying, no profanity or anything like that
1:49 pm
uusue2

I wasn't here yesterday, min, but this one seemed relatively brief
1:49 pm
boatierra

It wasn't so bad today. No profanity. Just irksome.
1:49 pm
MollyL

I know that Boat. I just don't think it does anything to deter trolls and it confuses people who are not "in on" the joke.
1:49 pm
Minveryork

Wonder if it was the same troll with a different name.
1:51 pm
boatierra

Well not everyone is going to know right away. I didn't, and then I did. I guess it's just a choice. It's neither here nor there.
1:51 pm
Minveryork

Taking a short break. I'll be here off & on for rest of the day. I will enter my last five words later on today
1:51 pm
Uneaixoise

yep, same guy
1:52 pm
uusue2

anyway I really am grading exams and really do have a memorial gathering to go to, followed by an anniversary party - unfortunate coincidence there - and then a rehearsal, so I will be signing off for a while. Too bad, I might have been able to finish this one as it is a weekend and it is small
1:52 pm

I thought I was leaving too. I jump on every so often to see what's going on.I am dog sitting and I thougt I had to take them outside, but I do not. Sister will be here any minute to pick up her dog that I'm watching
1:56 pm
boatierra

Sue - read that grandmother article. I can totally see how that would be true. One time during my entire education I had a death in my family. I occurred during summer school. I can't remember if I had to miss an exam, but I had to miss some of my math class. I was able to provide a legit excuse. One and only time.
2:04 pm
negativeneil

Yes, Min. That's what I tend to do... just look in now and then while I'm doing other things on here, periodically.
2:07 pm

Oh sorry, boat. Was busy for a little there. Well I'm getting over this cold, so haven't done anything exciting for a few days. :P Other than apartment hunting... I've made the decsion to move down to LA after all. My family and some friends there have been begging me to for a while... and work-wise, it makes more sense. I'll hate leaving SC though.
2:18 pm
negativeneil

I'm shocked that I've already found 3 solid contenders [apartments in LA].
2:18 pm
jesdraggon

is pe7 related to pe6?
2:19 pm
boatierra

WOW. That's sounds exciting, life chaning-wise, but you dread the moving part.
2:19 pm
negativeneil

pey,32 is related to pe6,24 -- if that's what you're asking about?
2:20 pm
jesdraggon

nevermind, found it.
2:20 pm
negativeneil

Yes, boat. And LA? Ugh. Not somewhere I've ever wanted to live... but it will be nice to be near my brother and his b/f and Mom, who lives there too now.
2:21 pm
negativeneil

And varous friends of ours who are in that area.
2:22 pm
boatierra

But LA is ginormous so it can't be ALL bad. Plus like you said, you'll be closer to your family.
2:22 pm

ly6,27 please?
2:23 pm

ly6/27 word is ly + anagram of ri4/5 word jesdraggon

2:31 pm

Well done Majmom :)
2:38 pm

Oh, just realized I'm over half way done. Go me!
2:39 pm
negativeneil

Yes, I've been living in my college town since college, boat. I went to UCSC for Political Science. Loved the area so much, I decided to stay... and it's been great but for so many practical reasons this move is kind of necessary I guess. Sad to leave though!
2:40 pm

lol boatierra i just noticed the same thing im halfway done ...

I'll have to return once in a while to visit my friends anyway, so that will be nice.

Soodle has lost her voice.
3:35 pm
MollyL

Bath, bath. With good smelling stuff.
3:35 pm
Soodle

(((Molly)))). In full voice!
3:36 pm
Minveryork

Why not babble in the bathtub Soodlebum? Kill 2 birds with one stone.Might be tricky,but it's doable I think
3:37 pm
Soodle

MIN!!! As if I would be seen in the chog in the altogether!!
3:37 pm
Soodle

OK, bath it is. Now... Lavender or camomile????
3:38 pm
MollyL

Lavender! And people (won't say who) mention Babbling nude all the time.
3:39 pm
Soodle

Warning to all Babblers......... delete the mental image of Soodle in the bath. It is not a pretty sight.
3:39 pm
MollyL

*Wonders who is imagining Soodle bathing*
3:40 pm
Soodle

Molly - I just noticed your icon, and I am slinking off to the tub, shamefaced.......

You know better that to think that icon has anything to do with you, Soodle.

Kap, I keep hoping that AAMS (All About Me Syndrome) will get recognized in the DSSMD.
3:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne

It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Molly.
3:47 pm

Oh no Kap, is this the plot from "Gaslight"?
3:47 pm

Yeah, I know about NPD. AAMS is worse.

"Enough is Enough!"
3:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I also met a couple in their 80's who have never had an argument in 65 years together. I thought, "what is WRONG with you people?"
3:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne

There has to be something in the middle.
3:50 pm

I agree and I wonder a lot about people who don't argue. It's not normal.

Lol... My parents are married for 54 years. The night they celebrated their 50th anniversary (at their offsprings' expense), they were arguing, and didn't speak to each other all night. They smiled for the photos, and then reverted to snarl mode... sheesh. 54 years of THAT?
4:01 pm
Kaplan the Magne

There's going to be a reality show with daytime soap stars! I'm so excited!
4:01 pm

I've accomplished fe 4/7 of finishing puzzle so here is a story for today's da4/5: September 25th.I de4/6 it necessary to invest in another laptop. I have begged husband to let me get another one,however,pleas fell on de4/8 ears. Told him that I would de 4/10 him and get one anyway. Hubby dr 4/9 a very me 4/5 picture of what would happen if I did that. It se4/5s husband has realized he has er 5/12 in not letting me obta4/4 a laptop now. He realized how mi4/5rable we we 4/8 fighting over the computer all of the time. Husband's insistance of not getting another laptop has fa 4/8d. He has surre4/4ered to my pleas.My hubby de5/14 it necessary to get another laptop now. It amu4/6s me how hubby refuses to admit that I was right. He says he changed his mind. So now he wants to get a ne4/4 computer that is pretty sophisticated. I told him we could get one like that,however, it would depe4/6 on the price. Want to get a computer that has a rebate that you can re6/24.I am going to ri4/4 on my fe4/7 now and me7/36 on out of here and me 4/5 my friend Ja 4/9 for some drinks.She likes to drink liquor, but I like to drink li7/36. I hope you have found some more words after re4/5ing this story. This story will be re 8/50 in my profile if anybody needs to re6/21 it later on. I'll be back later on tonight to help out with clues.

I popped in again because gamecast has frozen on the Athletics-Angels game in the bottom of the ninth.
5:42 pm
jmcnrick

yikes!
5:42 pm
jmcnrick

how close was the score?
5:43 pm
jan

The Angels had been leading 5 to 2 but the A's scored 4 in the top of the ninth to take the lead. And, apparently, they kept it--because now the game says final, 6-5 A's.
5:44 pm
jmcnrick

well then you didn't miss too much but too bad the last inning in a game like that is what you want to see
5:45 pm
jan

The Angels are holding onto a wild card possibility, but with only three left to play, this loss is probably it for them. Must really sting.
5:45 pm
jmcnrick

ah well what with my team being the nationals i wasn't really paying attention :-)
5:45 pm
jmcnrick

but it looks good for us for next year
5:46 pm

Haha, it's worse for me--I'm a Mariners fan!
5:46 pm
jmcnrick

haha! could be worse you could be an astros fan!
5:47 pm
jan

True, true. Though I imagine they're salivating over having the first pick in the draft. One of the ways that hope springs eternal...
5:48 pm
jmcnrick

it will be interesting to see if that does them any good--we of course made out with strousnider and harper
5:48 pm
jmcnrick

sorry strausberg
5:48 pm
jmcnrick

strousnider is a local hardware store!
5:48 pm

Indeed--Pittsburgh has had plenty of low draft picks and it hasn't done them much good...
5:49 pm
jmcnrick

did you get a chance to see strasuberg pitch yet?
5:49 pm
jan

Only on TV, not in person.
5:49 pm
jmcnrick

all of his games sell out even when we are tanking because he is such a fabulous pitcher
5:50 pm
jmcnrick

it is worth the price of the ticket i tell you
5:50 pm
jmcnrick

in fact, he was the reason i decided to continue my season tickets
5:50 pm

I did get to one Nationals game this year--the one where they came back to beat the Mariners in the ninth inning. It was a sweltering humid night, but the fans didn't seem to mind after the come-back!

It's not so good. I have to go back to PT, but considering the loousy PT discharged me early, it is just a minor set back.
5:54 pm
jmcnrick

that is soo irritating when they discharge you from pt early--i had to fight and fight to keep my mother in
5:54 pm
redturtlehead

it is frustrating because it sets up such an antagonistic feeling. My Doc has been more helpful this time.
5:55 pm
jmcnrick

glad to hear that -- your doc needs to set the tone for the pt
5:56 pm
redturtlehead

well, we will see what happens on Monday. this all occurred on Friday, and I do have an apponintment for the first week in October, but my Doc felt it should be like, this monday...so we will see. He probably doesnot want his surgery messed up...

Having a baby is nothing like as invasive as major surgery, though. I was happy to leave the hospital seven hours after childbirth, but I really resented being sent home three hours after major throat surgery!
6:22 pm

as it so happens,my wife developed a blood clot and had to be readmitted 2 days after the birth and i was at home with new baby..who 6 days later had to be readmitted for a week with severe jaundice and was under the bi;;iruben(sp) lights

My hubby went through the STOP program last Sunday because he had an accident and didn't want the dang ticket on his driving record. The instructor is an elementary school teacher by day and she informed the class that the drug of preference for 3rd grade 8 yr olds, is the hand sanitizer they take and dilute with water. The alcohol is quite potent in the sanitizer. good grief. 8 year olds.

A report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1995 indicated that between 1978 and 1995 no less than 37 deaths in the U.S. were credited to vending machines. (How much do you really want that Snickers?)

Twenty-one-year-old college student bangs and rocks and tilts 900-pound Coke machine to dislodge a can of soda. Coke machine finally tips over on top of college student. College student dies.

College student's parents sue Coca-Cola, vending-machine manufacturer, and school, claiming there should've been some sort of warning. The gods of Fate and Destiny shake their heads and sigh. This is a true story.

Coke begins placing cautionary stickers on vending machines: "Warning: Tipping may cause injury or death." This part is also true. Many employees at the vending machine company undoubtedly got a good laugh out of this, wondered what's next, stickers on fine cutlery saying "Warning: Inserting butcher knife into body may cause injury or death"?

Or perhaps on large bridges: "Warning: Leaping off may cause death or at least a bad headache." Buses? "Warning: Do not step in front of this vehicle or you might die in a manner everyone jokes about and then how would you feel?" The list goes on, and it too may cause injury or death.
