12:39 am

No clue? I see them.

12:43 am

12:44 am

joey

jili, I can't see your icon, just a red "x"

12:45 am

hootowl

I see her icon

12:45 am

hootowl

I thought only yahoo was having those kind of problems!

12:46 am

negativeneil

oh. Probably an issue with the site then. People were getting red boxes?

12:47 am

cybernan

not red icon boxes -- I'm getting red "word cannot be entered" boxes

12:47 am

negativeneil

I didn't say icon boxes... whatever those are?

12:47 am

jillibus

me too, nan

12:47 am

negativeneil

Yeah, that. I've seen those before.

12:47 am

hootowl

I did get one of those but it accepted the word?

12:48 am

jillibus

joey, I have no idea why a red X!

12:51 am

cybernan

not seeing the 2nd ho 7

12:51 am

hootowl

That usually happens on Yahoo when they get more people than their system can hold!

12:51 am

jillibus

I have nothing to do with Yahoo here

12:51 am

hootowl

They start cutting replies, pic, thumbs whatever they can jettison

11:27 am

uusue2

thx, I really do appreciate it!!

11:28 am

rururocks

you have someone going with you?

11:29 am

uusue2

my son has an appointment with orthpedics an hour after my appointment; not sure if my partner will come or not (timing is tight as we have to leave right after my son's class gets out)

11:29 am

rururocks

good you'll need someone to hug when you get good news :)

11:30 am

uusue2

there you go :-)

11:30 am

uusue2

although I am not expecting anything definitive at this point; it will probably just be what test to do next

11:33 am

rururocks

they'll have to tell you something.

11:35 am

uusue2

Well, here are the possible options (I think) - wait and look at it again in a while (I am not expecting this one); do a blood test; do a biopsy; do both; remove the whole thing.

11:35 am

uusue2

But we shall see.

11:45 am

rururocks

lots of options.. are good

11:47 am

11:55 am

Jellen

Yay for halfway!

11:55 am

rururocks

good luck sue..

11:56 am

Judi

Howdy, neighbors. Has anyone heard from Mr. P lately? Just wondering how the family situation is coming along.

11:56 am

Jellen

Hi Judi

11:58 am

Jellen

I haven't heard anything, Judi.

11:58 am

uusue2

She's been on Facebook a little - I think she is busy refereeing

11:58 am

uusue2

and hi, Judi!

12:00 pm

Judi

Ah. Trust she has received some Babble funds by now?

12:01 pm

Jellen

Yes, that she has...

12:01 pm

rururocks

I hope she received mine

12:03 pm

Jellen

I hope so too, ruru.

12:03 pm

Judi

Any news as to Lickety's progress?

12:04 pm

Jellen

I thought I understood that Lickety was home...

12:04 pm

Judi

That would be news to me, Jellen. :-)

12:05 pm

Judi

I've seen we've had "the List" on a regular basis. Although, I'm not sure if that's automatically generated or if he actually has to post it daily.

12:05 pm

uusue2

I haven't heard anything since the original news

12:05 pm

Jellen

mrp has been doing it.

12:05 pm

uusue2

mrp has been doing the list, judi - took her a day or two to figure it out but she seems to have it down pat now

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

how did your doctor visit go, sue?

12:06 pm

Judi

Well, that explains that then.

12:06 pm

uusue2

hi, ruby!

12:06 pm

Jellen

Hi, rube

12:06 pm

Jellen

er, ruby!

12:06 pm

Judi

Hiya, ruby!

12:07 pm

Judi

I really should wash my bed head and go out for a walk.

12:07 pm

uusue2

lol, judi!

12:08 pm

rubyfoo

soorry to be another nosy parker, sue, I just read over the chog

12:08 pm

Judi

The only rehab order from the hip surgeon is to gradually increase walking. However... it has been raining on and off. I have gone up and down the stairs quite a few times as well. (excuses, excuses)

12:09 pm

uusue2

np, ruby, I will be leaving shortly

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

something funny, my beloved dog Ruby has started bossing me around. She has developed a special, sharp, bark when she wants something.... It is too funny

12:09 pm

uusue2

did you have a hip replacement, judi?

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

she'll make that noise, then roll over on her back for guess what?

12:10 pm

uusue2

tummy rub!

12:10 pm

uusue2

(at least that's what my dog would want)

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

she's almost 9, so I don't mind

12:11 pm

Judi

Oooh. Tummy rubs. Too funny. No hip replacement, uusue. Had an IT band lengthening.

12:11 pm

rururocks

anyone have the gu7 please

12:11 pm

uusue2

oh, ok. Good luck with your recovery, judi!

12:11 pm

uusue2

don't have it, ruru

12:12 pm

Judi

My newest kitty's former owner said kitty didn't like her tummy touched. Guess who now gets the rollover, stretch and plaintive "mew"?

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

don't have it, ru

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

so I don't have the only pet'/tyrant!

12:12 pm

Judi

Thanks, uusue. I go back to work in two weeks. Pffth.

12:13 pm

Judi

Hubby calls me the cat whisperer.

12:13 pm

uusue2

well, maybe you'll be bored by then, Judi :-)

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

dumb question: what is the IT band?

12:14 pm

Judi

Trochonteric band (tendon) - goes across hip joint and down the outside of the leg. Mine had shortened (genetic, most likely), so the surgeon went in and made zig zag incisions to lengthen it. Fun times or what?!

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

ouch! thank you for that info, though

12:15 pm

rururocks

no one has the gu7?

12:16 pm

Jellen

Sorry, ru

12:16 pm

Judi

I am getting a tad bored, ruby. However, I could really get used to not working any more. (Insert big laugh here). Realistically, I'll probably be retiring at the age of 72 like every other poor working sod.

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

we need to entertain you!

12:17 pm

uusue2

Yeah, I figure I may be able to retire when I'm 70, as long as the State of Illinois doesn't remove my pension

12:18 pm

Lindrickway

Gu 7/64 gu* in your mouth & an unwanted plant in the garden

12:18 pm

Judi

Please do, ruby! Dance, monkies! Dance!

12:18 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Lindrickway!

12:18 pm

12:20 pm

Lindrickway

how is your knee ruru?

12:20 pm

Judi

Phhth. I'll have a City pension as well, Ruby. But I know I won't be able to live on that and/or Social Security (if that even exists by the time I retire). So, I just keep plowing money into the mutual funds and hope for the best.

12:20 pm

rururocks

terrible..

12:20 pm

Lindrickway

oh no........

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

my IRA is less than half what it was when I retired and I haven't even started to take it down

12:21 pm

4:47 pm

uusue2

hi, mrp!!!

4:47 pm

bichon

sue, when my mother was a teen she had radiation to her face for acne. She ended up with thyroid problems and breast cancer

4:48 pm

I was 4 weeks old, bichon, they burned a lump off my neck with X-rays

I will need to keep having ultrasounds every year or two for the rest of my life, though

uusue2

hi, sue!

4:51 pm

i have had radiation treatment more than several times, but they warned me about all side effects (including not being allowed to fall pregnant for 3 years)

4:52 pm

And, health insurance doesn't cover this genetic test. It costs $700. The same lab in the US [Myriad in Utah] holds the patents

4:56 pm

bichon

I never did until today. I had the BRCA test 5 years ago and it was negative. Now, I'm wondering. I called the genetic counselor today, but she was out of the office

4:56 pm

uusue2

right, my health insurance didn't cover it, so I wound up having a hysterectomy (fibroids, ovarian cyst, and strong family history). The test would have been a lot cheaper.

4:56 pm

uusue2

so you have a family history too, bichon?

4:57 pm

MollyL

How are you feeling today Jellen?

4:57 pm

bichon

To me, $700 doesn't seem like that much money, considering the consequences. But to someone else, it sure might

4:57 pm

bichon

Strong, both my father and mother. And I'm Ashkenazic Jewish

4:58 pm

uusue2

back when I was looking into it (maybe 12-13 years ago?) the BRCA test was more like $2500 and I couldn't afford it

4:58 pm

uusue2

my insurance didn't even cover the genetic counseling, which I didn't find out until afterwards

4:58 pm

bichon

I had it in 2005 and my insurance covered it all.

4:59 pm

pigeonman

could i get a clue for the re7?

4:59 pm

uusue2

well, that is good! And i'm glad you came out negative.

4:59 pm

bichon

4:59 pm

uusue2

5:00 pm

Jellen

5:01 pm

pigeonman

either one of them

5:01 pm

uusue2

jellen, what do you need to go back in for?

5:02 pm

Jellen

Oops, that was an re7 clue...

5:02 pm

bichon

re 7/28 is to go back in and the second one is the comparative form of the word before it

5:02 pm

bichon

wait, I don't have the re 7/36. Just the third and third

5:03 pm

uusue2

ah :-)

5:03 pm

uusue2

thx, didn't have any re7

5:03 pm

bichon

the re 7/36 is one who does the 6/24 before it

5:04 pm

uusue2

obviously there are a lot of r words that I don't have :-)

5:13 pm

carleekat

5:13 pm

Jellen

Do tell...

5:14 pm

car.eeyore

yes please!

5:14 pm

carleekat

in the qur'an in the creation story ( adam and eve ) there is also a little passage about iblis ( an angel ) who refused to bow down to adam with all the other angels when God commanded the angels to do so...

5:14 pm

carleekat

this is in the quran....which was "revealed " early 500 CE

5:15 pm

carleekat

NOw..that little passage is NOt in the bible... ( which they started to compile in rome about 400 CE ) BUt..it is in the non cannonized scripture of the apocryphs....

5:16 pm

uusue2

Interesting!

5:16 pm

carleekat

so..i ask..HOW...did Mohammed ( an illiterate shepherd in what is now saudi arabia ) find out about a story... that is not contained in the bible... but does exist unpublished.... to incorporate it in the quran....

5:16 pm

Jellen

Very!

5:17 pm

carleekat

(more than 100 years later )

5:17 pm

5:38 pm

MollyL

Seain, are you around? I can't believe they canceled the Reston Challenge because of weather.

5:40 pm

Jellen

What's the Reston Challenge?

5:41 pm

uusue2

and what's the weather?

5:41 pm

MollyL

A fall festival in Reston, VA. It looked like it was going to be a fun event. But it's canceled because it's going to be 40 degrees? ?

5:42 pm

Jellen

Aww...no fun!

5:42 pm

uusue2

geez, since when is it not 40 degrees at the end of October? (or have I lived in the northern tundra too long?)

5:43 pm

MollyL

Probably some rain too, but seriously, people are freaking out around here because there has been talk of that rain turning to snow. Right. Since when does it snow when it's above freezing?

5:43 pm

MollyL

And if there is snow, it will be light and WAY north of Virginia. Oy.

5:43 pm

uusue2

well, you can have snow in the air that melts when it hits the ground as long as the clouds are below freezing, but still.

5:53 pm

MollyL

We are somewhat spoiled around here. Generally it's still Indian Summer at the end of October. We've actually had some balmy Novembers and Decembers as well.

5:59 pm

uusue2

ah - i've taken a small child around for Halloween during a snowstorm, more than once! Don't remember that from growing up in New Jersey, though!

6:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What crappy weather- it's going to be a looooong winter

6:43 pm

MollyL

<---Living in denial. It's going to be the balmiest winter on record. People are going to be amazed at how nice, not cold and not snowy it is.

6:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In Santa Barbara maybe.

6:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Soaps are silly.

6:50 pm

MollyL

Soaps define "non-reality". Which is why people tune out from their real life to watch them.

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, Molly- like reality shows are real.

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I do like tuning out to this alternate reality.

6:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Right now, someone is massaging Brady's pecs very slowly.

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He has a towel conveniently placed on his lap.

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oop- Sammi walked in on them.

6:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Bo & Hope- law enforcement officers extraodinaire- just hacked a computer in a fertility clinic-

6:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

to find out what the hell happened to Maggie's eggs.

6:55 pm

MollyL

I lay no claim to the idea that "reality" shows are real. I don't watch them. People have been attracted to the alternate reality of stories since they were first told, then written down and then recorded.

6:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You remember those eggs, don't you?

6:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know Molly, I was being ironic. Which is one letter away from being iconic.

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Take ye no offense.

6:57 pm

MollyL

No ye olde offense has been taken. We all need our spots to tune out.

6:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

2 nout.

6:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

shakespeare wrote soap operas.

7:01 pm

MollyL

Shakespeare was brilliant. Centuries before his time on writing what entertains people and "takes them away".

7:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tube e or not tube e.

7:03 pm

Scrabbler

Good evening kiddos.

7:08 pm

MollyL

Hi Scrabbler, how are you tonight?

7:10 pm

Scrabbler

Tired and happy to be here to do something mindless. How are you?

7:11 pm

MollyL

Just about that very same way. It's been a long week and I am so looking forward to the weekend.

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

I had planned to do some weight lifting etc but would prefer to get into bed!

7:14 pm

JBV

good evening, folks, hi Molly, Scrabbler, Kap - who else is here?

7:15 pm

JBV

I'm taking a break from my Italian midterm assignment, need to speak English for a bit :)

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

Hi JBV! Where are you taking an Italian class?

7:17 pm

MollyL

Hi Rutgers Deb. Good to hear you're taking a break.
: )

7:17 pm

JBV

Scrab, I'm auditing a higher level undergraduate class at Rutgers -

7:18 pm

JBV

I of course am not getting a grade, but I am doing all the assignments, and learning a lot!

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

I have been studying Italian on LearnItalianPod.com--I downloaded the audio lessons onto my iPod. I wish I had more time to study.

7:18 pm

MollyL

Glad to hear that is working out so well for you JBV. What a fun thing to pursue.

7:19 pm

JBV

what is it like - dialogs and you listen and repeat?

7:19 pm

JBV

yes, Molly, I'm really glad I did it - just being on campus is very energizing

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

Yes. I have been searching for good audio lessons to put on my iPod and discovered the site last wk. They have beginner to advanced.

7:20 pm

JBV

have you ever heard of LiveMocha? It's free and you can hook up with native speakers who will critique your written samples and also evaluate your spoken samples...

7:21 pm

JBV

also you should know about Loquendo - it's a site where you enter Italian words and they read it out loud for you:

7:21 pm

JBV

http://www.loquendo.com/en/demo-center
/interactive-tts-demo/

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I bookmarked that but am not ready to be critiqued. Haha.

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, that is also bookmarked.

7:23 pm

Scrabbler

And I found this last weekend: http://www.byki.com/fls/free-italian-s
oftware-download.html

7:24 pm

JBV

so many resources now - and free!

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

Some of the sites charge for upgrades but the free programs are sufficient. I have Danesi's book on Italian verbs. Darn tenses and conjugations!

7:26 pm

JBV

I took the course mainly because I wanted to improve my language skills but I have to admit I am learning a lot about Italian cinema and literature -

7:26 pm

JBV

did you ever study Italian before, scrabs, in high school or college?

7:26 pm

Scrabbler

I would love to go back to college and take interesting courses.

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

I did a semester in college and have dabbled in it since then--so 30 yrs.

7:27 pm

JBV

well, as a Senior Citizen (ahem!!) I get to register for free - it's a tremendous community service

7:27 pm

JBV

I actually wonder how many people are taking advantage of it

7:28 pm

Scrabbler

I'll get my chance someday, God willing.

7:29 pm

JBV

It's funny - it is not something I thought of when I retired, just kind of fell into it, but it's perfect for me

7:30 pm

Scrabbler

I have become more focused on learning Italian over the last few yrs. You have inspired and motivated me.

7:30 pm

JBV

have you seen Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino? (1992)?

7:30 pm

Scrabbler

Yep.

7:31 pm

JBV

I never knew it was based on an Italian movie of the same name (Profumo di Donna) made in 1974, and that was based on an Italian novel (1969) - that's what we're working on now

7:31 pm

Scrabbler

Aha.

7:31 pm

JBV

if you have a chance, see if you can get the Italian verson - you will see an amazing performance by Vittorio Gassman

7:31 pm

Scrabbler

Is your class presented in Italian?

7:31 pm

JBV

oh yes, all in Italian

7:32 pm

JBV

I've written three two-page papers so far , got 98, 99, and 99 :)

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

Are you able to understand everything? Are the students Italian majors?

7:32 pm

Scrabbler

You are a superstar!

7:33 pm

JBV

My comprehension is excellent, I'm working on my speaking skills, unfortunately, we don't get a lot of chances to converse in class - but my writing has definitely improved

7:33 pm

JBV

the students are cool - mostly juniors and seniors, they're adorable

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

So the instructor doesn't speak too fast?

7:34 pm

JBV

no, he's good, he stops to translate once in a while if everybody looks clueless :)

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

How have you learned the darn verbs? I am SO overwhelmed by the tenses and conjugations.

7:34 pm

JBV

he's young (of course, everyone is younger than me) and very Italian - molto bello!

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

Is the instructor from Italy?

7:35 pm

JBV

well, scrabs, don't forget I am bilingual in Spanish, and there is A LOT of similarity in the basic grammar

7:35 pm

JBV

yes, he's from Perugia

7:35 pm

JBV

(the land of Baci chocolates!)

7:36 pm

Scrabbler

I was doing sports physical exams at a local high school on Tuesday and met an exchange student from Assisi.

7:39 pm

JBV

a high school student?

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, blond and blue-eyed. Very sweet.

I'm trying to figure out what your icon pic is, Mary? And don't you need to update your profile content just a little?

Huh? It's on my YouTube channel. I uploaded i there yesterday.

"what's your major?" "acting". Love it.

"uploaded it there yesterday" even. Geez.

11:11 pm

negativeneil

Yeah. I was trying not to keep my eyerolling subtle.

11:11 pm

negativeneil

Sorry... trying to keep it subtle!

11:11 pm

I went to say "not let it show"... ugh.

11:12 pm

m9f9l

Note: has not happened. I'm laughing pretty hard at that.

11:13 pm

negativeneil

It came out better than I expected. I didn't see it until yesterday myself, when my friend who shot it finally got it downloaded, converted to the right format and sent it to me.

11:13 pm

negativeneil

He added the text I wanted and the logo.

11:13 pm

Yep. I asked him to put that in... it had to be said.

Oh. I have something interesting to show you. Emailing it.... brb.
