2:43 am
crosshair
i am:) yaa for granny!
2:43 am
grannyrose
awww crossy....feel your pain, buddy, truely do
2:45 am
grannyrose
okay, let's analyse this, just what measures have you taken thus far, crossy?
2:46 am
crosshair
well granny,this is new for me.all of a sudden i got radiating pain in a arc under the knee and hot circles of pain on the left and right of the knee cap...
2:46 am
crosshair
i have been given t3,s and told to take ibuprophen for any swelling ,then sent to x-rays....
2:47 am
crosshair
then was told i may need cortosteriod injections into the knee
2:47 am
grannyrose
okay, sounds more like the tendons on both sides of your knee are giving you pain. when you try to straighten your leg, do these tendons feel tender and tight?
2:47 am
crosshair
i have an appointment with the doc on mon
2:48 am
crosshair
no,it is like an icepick stabbing pain and it always feels like the knee is going to buckle ot bend too far the other way
2:49 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, do you have any tynelol in the house?
2:49 am
crosshair
like i said,he gave me t 3,s
2:50 am
grannyrose
and that means????don't forget i'm from down under
2:50 am
crosshair
would not be so bad,if i did not walk for a living
2:50 am
crosshair
ahh tylenol threes with codeine
2:51 am
grannyrose
* nods head* know what you mean....
2:51 am
mrpresident
(((crossy))) !! what happened hunny? I read back.... have you done too much on your legs lately??
2:51 am
grannyrose
okay, cold pack for 5 minutes, then hot pack for 5 minutes, then rest, then repeat cycle
2:51 am
crosshair
most likely 40 extra poun ds and 30 years of running service stations (((MRP)))
2:52 am
crosshair
i will give it a go granny,hurts like a bugger atm
2:52 am
grannyrose
keep it up for 2 cycles, when you go back to bed, try a rolled towel behind your knee
2:53 am
crosshair
i have a nice body pillow i can shove tween knees
2:53 am
mrpresident
could be the medial meniscus?... that can blow out the back of your knee too. and rose is right, heat and ice. and support with a rolled up towel
2:54 am
crosshair
i have a ice pack from the freezer on it,and will be good in a bit after the t 3,s kick in
2:54 am
mrpresident
is tylenol the same as voltarin rose?
2:54 am
grannyrose
no, under the knee, to flex and support at the same time. also would advise you to try and find something like my "pain away. arthritis cream"
2:55 am
grannyrose
no mrp, same as panadol
2:55 am
crosshair
just a pain,was always the invincible,indestructable machine..but no longer alas..maybe whiskey and nookie
2:55 am
mrpresident
ah, so you need anti-inflamatory
2:55 am
crosshair
i havce ibuprophen
2:56 am
mrpresident
well of course crossy! that is the answer to everything!!
2:56 am
mrpresident
you can take ibup with tylenol
2:56 am
grannyrose
"pain away" contains arnica, rosemary oil, sandalwood oil, and emu oil.
2:56 am
crosshair
good,cause there is some t 3,s with my name on em right now
2:57 am
crosshair
mm.emu,s are scarce here granny lol
2:57 am
grannyrose
write the ingredients down, crossy, and see if your local health /natural shop can help you
2:57 am
crosshair
and just how do you milk an emu? lol
2:57 am
grannyrose
not like a duck, that's for sure. do you know how to milk a duck?
2:58 am
crosshair
did not know they had teats!
2:58 am
crosshair
did not know they had teats!
2:58 am
mrpresident
i wanna know what part of the emu they get the oil from!
2:58 am
crosshair
i must visit down under some time! lol
2:58 am
grannyrose
you need a VERY low stool
2:59 am
crosshair
maybe it is from emus that need a shower?
2:59 am
crosshair
a tiny bucket?
2:59 am
dizgrannie
ibuprophen....gawd I wish I could take it, but all I can take for my pain is panadeine forte, cos anything stronger is too much for my system (knocks me around too much)....(have scoliosis and with my age is playing havoc.
2:59 am
grannyrose
i mean it, crossy, or google the name, and see if you can buy it over the internet
3:00 am
mrpresident
like chicken salt... which part of the chicken do they get that from ??
3:02 am
crosshair
i will granny,and crossy can gobble t 3,s like candy
3:04 am
mrpresident
I imagine pygmy Papua Newguinea people using a special wooden spatula to scrape the sweat from under the chicken's wings, after they had chased them for a half hour
3:04 am
crosshair
i will granny,and crossy can gobble t 3,s like candy
3:06 am
grannyrose
i use the "pain away" on my knee...it is pain free( i have grade 4 arthritis, that means absolutely NO cartilage in my right knee) i have thus so far avoided a second arthroscopy and cortisone injections. ( which they don't tell you...softens the bone, thus a total replacement requires that they take more bone)
3:06 am
grannyrose
crossy, i am buying "anatrin" from the us of a...it's a natural remedy for my fibromyalgia...you never know, you might get lucky

Understanding potatoes sounds very Zen
7:52 am
dcseain
they always take MUCH MUCH longer than i expect to fry
7:52 am
jmcnrick
you should boil them first
7:52 am
dcseain
i grew up in a family that rarely ate them, so cooking with them is always foreign to me
7:53 am
dcseain
these are mashed that i added some stuff to for fritters
7:53 am

i know that much about the boiling first :)

I think you get in a lot more trouble for uploading things than downloading them
8:22 am
uusue2
and if they cut off our service I am going to be REALLY pissed
8:22 am
Scrabbler
Can that happen?
8:23 am

if they prosecuted you, i think you'd be more than upset - and i understand that there've been a few successful prosecutions on these in the states
8:23 am

Sure! Comcast reminds you that use of the Service (or any part of the Service) in any manner that constitutes an infringement of any copyrighted work is a violation of Comcast's Acceptable Use Policy and may result in the suspension or termination of your Service account.

During a 1992 state dinner, President George H. W. Bush, ill with the flu, lost his lunch in the lap of the Japanese prime minister. Oddly enough, Bush’s faux pas coined a slang Japanese word, bushusuru, which translates as “to do the Bush thing,†meaning “to vomit.â€

I have been doing that, Molly -- but on a budget of $0 and not likely to be able to qualify for a loan... *sigh* quite discouraging.
2:25 pm
lbdawger
lol at storing empty boxes stiddy
2:25 pm
stidmama
I did that with my first car, LBD! Stupid salesmen who think women don't know their cars. For that matter, stupid technicians at times (though I regularly call our local shop in a panic... LOL)
2:26 pm
jesdraggon
last time i went car shopping, a friend drove me around, so if i bought something i could get it home. i'd ask questions, and he'd wander around not really paying attention. at one lot, the salesman INSISTED on answering every question I asked directed at my friend, even though he'd not said a word, and was on the other side of a different car.
2:26 pm
stidmama
Tom likes to keep the empties for new purchases just in case we want to return things.
2:26 pm
stidmama
It's a little ridiculous after 12 years in our house...
2:26 pm
jesdraggon
after about 3 questions of that, I said "nevermind. I'm not buying a car from a bloke who can't force himself to talk to me, no matter how good your cars are," and we left.
2:27 pm
lbdawger
Hubz does that too, Stid. i have to remind him that after 30 days we can't take stuff back.
2:27 pm
doseffing
... save the boxes until the spring and then sell them to students from the local university who are moving home
2:27 pm
stidmama
good for you, too, jes!
2:27 pm
stidmama
Good idea, dose!
2:27 pm
lbdawger
it's so infuriating, Jes. I did buy my jeep for that dealer, just not from that salesman.
2:27 pm
MollyL
Wow, zero dollars and not qualifying for financing doesn't give you um, any options?
2:28 pm
doseffing
... not fair ... I've got a frosh and a grad who are still in annual moving mode
2:28 pm
jesdraggon
used car, molly. that's about the only option for a lot of folks.
2:28 pm
jesdraggon
new cars are WAY freaking spendy
2:28 pm
stidmama
I am hoping late next summer to be able to sell the useable but only "first place" appropriate extra furniture to the kids who are returning to school.
2:28 pm
stidmama
Yep. Used car.
2:29 pm
lbdawger
nothing wrong with a good previously owned vehicle. ask for the carfax tho!
2:29 pm
doseffing
... hate to be morbid ... but suggest looking for an elderly couple who are finally getting rid of their car ... ... was just offered an excellent deal that way
2:29 pm
MollyL
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood zero dollars.
2:29 pm
stidmama
I will have to borrow from parentals, Molly -- which at my age is somewhat embarrassing. But the van is not safe, and I must have some transportation to get to the sub jobs I am offered.
2:29 pm
stidmama
And until I am getting regular, dependable jobs, I literally have NO money.
2:30 pm
lbdawger
i have an 89 jeep, almost mint condition 40,000 miles on it...wanna buy it?
2:30 pm
stidmama
gee whiz, LBD! I would LOVE to -- EXCEPT going over the Rockies this time of year is NOT my cup of tay!
2:31 pm
stidmama
I want 4WD, though -- since there is a gully between our home and the closest plowed road.
2:31 pm
lbdawger
well darn. it's my dad's jeep. it really is in great condition. brand new tires, new battery, leather upholstery
2:32 pm
stidmama
*drooling over the cool factor of a jeep...* with the rural schools I teach in, that would enhance my status as a sub in no time flat! LOL
2:32 pm
jesdraggon
my cousin might. can you deliver to spokane?
2:32 pm
lbdawger
it's sitting in Denver.
2:33 pm
stidmama
hm. My BIL lives in Aspen....
2:33 pm
doseffing
... fly me out there ... I'll drive it ... loved that drive
2:33 pm
stidmama
but it would take a while to get down there. *sigh* too many decisions, I can feel the neurons shutting down.
2:33 pm
lbdawger
i just did that drive...i'm too old to do it again in the winter.
2:33 pm
stidmama
babbler's auto delivery service, dose?
2:34 pm
doseffing
... as I said ... just need the airfare to Denver ...
2:34 pm
lbdawger
i probably should ask my sister if it's still for sale...i haven't heard anyting so i'm assuming it and the house are still on the market
2:36 pm
lbdawger
fares from canada are probably less expensive than what we pay here. but then i live in podunk nowhere and there are no direct flights to anywhere from here.
2:37 pm
stidmama
so, does anyone have opinions on the Honda CR-V? there are a few used ones that might work...
2:38 pm
lbdawger
they are nice cars, stid. very roomy and handle well on the roads
2:38 pm
doseffing
... not quite ... Air Canada is noted for high prices ... ... a lot of people from the Toronto area drive down to Buffalo to fly anywhere in the States
2:38 pm
stidmama
it's the winter driving that I am thinking about -- and being big enough to carry Lucky without having him in my lap! LOL the van was SO nice for that...
2:38 pm
MollyL
Stid, you can look up auto reviews on line. Hondas are good cars, although you may be told differently by "some" here.
2:39 pm
stidmama
I think that's what we are going to look at -- I have liked my Honda, and so has Mother. Tom's Hyundai has served us well, but it's a little small for hauling four people long distances.
2:40 pm
MollyL
Why does the dog need to ride with you?
2:40 pm
lbdawger
My sister in Colorado has one, and she has to drive in nasty snowy weather. She loads up her two Little dogs, and heads off to where ever. lots of room for Lucky
2:40 pm
stidmama
I don't like any U.S.-made models that are in my low-end price range, and their mileage tends to be very poor anyway. I don't want to get less than 25 mpg
2:40 pm
stidmama
LBD, that's the encouragement I needed. Thanks.
2:41 pm
stidmama
We are in a rural area, Molly -- must be able to get Lucky the many miles to the vet, and the occasional long drive when we take trips.
2:41 pm
lbdawger
it has a nice roomy "trunk" for all the hauling you'd have to do too, stid.
2:41 pm
stidmama
And since stidkid #2 is now a full 6 feet tall... *sigh* I keep telling him to stop growing, but you can't tell adolescents what to do! rofl...
2:42 pm
stidmama
LBD, I think my mind is made up. Now to justify the price. And find one that seems reasonable.
2:42 pm
MollyL
Oh, okay. I get it now. Earlier you were talking about your commute to work and I thought, for some reason, you took him to work with you.
2:42 pm
lbdawger

I st4/4ted the grid an 4/8 at the flip.I'm almost done so here is a story of clues for you to sc 4/5. Husband proposed to me while we were on a ca4/7ing trip. He took out a black ca4/5 that was in his co4/5 pocket. I opened it and saw a 10-ca 5/12 ring which probably cost several co 5/12. Husband told me he was taking a big ch 6/27 asking me because he wasn't sure what my reply would be.I said of course I would marry him, what else would the answer be? Hubby said he wasn't sure because he had to ch 5/14 me for years just to get me to date him so he wasn't sure about marriage After putting the ring on my finger he did a happy da 5/14. Hubby wants to ch 4/6 w/people on FaceBook. He drives me insa4/4 with his FaceBook addiction.FB has become the ba4/6 of my existence. I am going to sc5/12 on out of here to eat ta4/5s for dinner. Then I'm going to take a ba 4/7. Then I am going to watch the movie Ch7/40 Are. I will da4/5 back here later on

Jacula
Am listening to my new 'The Magic of Doris Day' cd, as Peri probably knows, since she is on FB at present. 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is on now - quite apt for Babble, I think.
7:53 pm
Jacula
Well done, peri! (Better nip back to FB in a minute to find Soodle and check that Peri's not beating me in our game. LOL)
7:54 pm
MollyL
Jac, you have the most varied taste in music of anyone I know.
7:54 pm
jesdraggon
thanks
7:55 pm
Jacula
Molly - Yes, I have very eclectic taste. I love all the old music because of the huge record collection my parents had, and going to films and to parties with them.
7:56 pm
MollyL
I understand that Jac. I am ever thankful to my folks for turning me onto swing music.
7:57 pm
Jacula
That reminds me - I'd like to change my icon pic to one of my parents when young, before I came along, on the coast. Last Wednesday was the 8th year since my lovely Dad died.
7:58 pm

8:03 pm
Jacula
It's lovely, isn't it? I've got lots of wonderful B&W photos to scan in. Quite a lot are on FB to share with my family, since I'm the Keeper of the Photos from grandmas on both sides of my family.
8:04 pm
MollyL
That could be in Life Magazine. It really captures the mood of the setting.
8:04 pm
Soodle
I can only see the pic in the chat log, Jac. when I go into your profile, I can still see the friendly wet dog!

I used to live in Gerrard's Cross, Bucks county, if any of you Brits know where that is
8:36 pm
MollyL
*Chuckles at "working in Woking" *
8:36 pm
LeslieAnn
dammit soodle beat me to it
8:36 pm
Jacula
Lil* - yes, I do. 'Working in Woking' isn't the expression I usually hear for that town in Surrey. LOL
8:37 pm
Soodle
Tee hee Molls......... never thought of that!
8:37 pm
MollyL
*Gasp* Wonking in Woking? Poking in Woking?
8:38 pm
Jacula
Gerrard's Cross always used to make me laugh as a child when we passed the sign. I wondered what he was cross about. Still haven't grown up enough not to wonder that about any sign with whatever's Cross.
8:38 pm
Jacula
Molly - take your first guess but change the 1st vowel to an 'a'. LOL
8:38 pm
lil*monkey
Doesn't it just mean a cross street, like an intersection?
8:39 pm
MollyL
I never get Brit speak right.
8:39 pm
lil*monkey
wanking!
8:39 pm
Jacula
Lil* . No, it usually means some kind of holy site.
8:40 pm
Jacula
Lil*! That word is not one we use in polite conversation here in UK! *shocked*
8:40 pm
lil*monkey
Jac, what is Gerrard's Cross close to? I was just a girl then. I can't remember where it was exactly. I went to school on a US Air Force base called High Wycombe.
8:40 pm
Soodle
I used to date a chap who lived in High Wycombe. High times in High Wycombe.... Le sigh.......
8:40 pm
LeslieAnn
oh i must only know impolite brits then

lil*monkey
well except for Stonehenge
8:41 pm
Jacula
LA - so you DO know what the term means? When I first went on the internet, many moons ago, a lot of our friends over The Pond, seemed to have no idea what that word was.
8:41 pm
Soodle
Hmmm... never been to ireland then, Lil!!
8:41 pm
MollyL
<---Is not well versed in polite conversation
8:42 pm
lil*monkey
wanker? yes I know, I lived in UK for a while
8:42 pm
Soodle
Atta girl, Molls ROFL
8:42 pm
Jacula
Lil* - could you still touch the stones at Stonehenge when you went there? You're not allowed to these days!
8:43 pm
lil*monkey
No, we could not touch the stones when I was there
8:43 pm
MollyL
I have no desire to see Stonehenge anymore, now that it's all roped off. What's the point?
8:44 pm
Jacula
Lil* The village name is fairly new, when compared with other villages that surround it. Gerrards Cross did not exist in any formal sense until 1859 when it was formed by taking pieces out of the five parishes of Chalfont St Peter, Fulmer, Iver, Langley Marish and Upton to form a new ecclesiastical parish. It is named after the Gerrard family who in the early 17th century owned a manor here. At that time it was a hamlet in the parish of Chalfont St Peter. It is the site of an Iron Age hillfort.
8:45 pm
Jacula
Molly - don't blame you! Thank God and Gaia that I'm old enough to have been there when you could still touch the stones, and THAT is an experience, believe me!
8:45 pm
lil*monkey
Jac, where is it relative to London
8:46 pm
MollyL
Thank you Jacepedia. : P

8:47 pm

Lil* - it's on the border of Greater London, which is probably a lot bigger than the London you recall. Check Google maps to be sure.
8:48 pm
lil*monkey
What train stop is it?
8:48 pm
lil*monkey
We used to ride an above-ground train and then switch to the tube
8:48 pm
Soodle
Would you look at the time. The son and heir is home from the working in Woking this weekend, and will be demanding a full Irish breakfast in approx 5 hours time. I better hit the sack.
8:49 pm
Jacula
Gotta think on your feet here and google and hope for the best. I don't do that in my blog, but you can tell if I've done it here, 'cos it's not typed in my style. LOL
8:49 pm
Jacula
'Lil* - I have NO IDEA what train stop it is. I live nearer Birmingham than London.
8:50 pm
lil*monkey
OK... I could ask my parents but they barely remember their own names anymore LOL
8:51 pm

8:51 pm

And the way they keep changing the location of the bus stops in Birmingham, I'd guess, since I can't keep up with those, I'm long lost on London, where I haven't been for at least 12 years.

9:06 pm
Jacula

9:07 pm
Jacula
Did thou not have thy phone of the cell, the one worked by hags of the night, with thee?

Jacula
Well done, jess.

Jacula
Joling with Lil* aside, it is confusing when you play lots of word games on the net, because the dictionaries differ. You think you've got a brilliant million point word using z and q and the damned dictionary doesn't allow it on that particular game. GRR!

Jacula
JoKing, I meant to type.

stidmama
73 left here, won't finish, but enjoying the game nonetheless
10:16 pm
stidmama
and as for subbing -- until I have a new(er) car, I am unavailable. The van is unsafe to drive because the steering rack is about to fail (no way to tell when it actually will, so.....)
10:16 pm
Dorens
that's the spirit, stid
10:16 pm
Dorens
oh no, tht is sad. i'm sorry... hope it gts fixed or replaced soon
10:17 pm
stidmama
I think I have found the right replacement, a 2007 Honda CR-V. Will see on Monday when our auto shop gurus check it out for me
10:17 pm
LeslieAnn
brain died, last two are sa 6/21 and one of the last batch of sc 5/12s
10:17 pm
stidmama
can't afford to keep fixing the d__n thing, it's cost half its current value in repairs over the last couple years.
10:18 pm
stidmama
LA: sa 6/21 is latin for "holy" (it's a plural form, sing ens with -um)
10:19 pm
LeslieAnn
ah thanks
10:19 pm
stidmama
and try doubling the last consonant on the sc that chases away critters
10:19 pm
stidmama
how are you doren? weather behaving for a change, I hope?
10:20 pm
LeslieAnn
that would be it, psychic mama. fireworks!
10:20 pm
Dorens

stidmama
YAY doren too!!!
10:21 pm
Dorens

10:22 pm
stidmama
how are the prince and princess doing, doren? Haven't seen pics of them in a while
10:24 pm
Dorens
will have to work on posting one tomorow stid.. they are totally adorable. am taking Phoebe next weekend to see the nutcracker... and Levi, two and funny as can be, keeps saying "when I'm three I'm going to the nutcracker" and of course he has no idea what it is, but he is determined to join us next year. they are thoroughly enjoyable, stid. i highly recommend grandchildren
10:26 pm
Dorens
and with that i say good night. catch you later
10:26 pm
stidmama
LOL I am so pleased you are enjoying them! I actually asked about car seat tie-downs today, just in case I need them before the next car is done... NOT that I am anticipating grands in the next decade!
10:26 pm
stidmama
Sweet dreams doren.
10:27 pm

No, you have such bad luck
11:54 pm
Minveryork
That must've really hurt. Are you still limping around?

11:54 pm
Minveryork
Any guesses for next grid size? My guess is 114 words

11:56 pm
Minveryork
I'm glad to hear you are on the mend kje.At least you can still babble w/a broken toe.However,I have tried babbling with my toes before. Didn't work out so well.
