9:14 am
vanillaslice
I feel reenergised now that I have the biggies so now for the last 30
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
i think we are becoming germophobes.
9:15 am
uusue2
people get way too scared about "germs", I think; there are some dangerous ones but our environment is full of all kinds
9:15 am
vanillaslice
look what kids stick into their mouths
9:16 am
72 Temple Owl
hand washing is the most important. that helps with everything else.
9:16 am
uusue2
I remember chatting with some moms when I had a new baby; one of them asked when to stop sterilizing the baby's bottles. The other one said she stopped when she saw the kid eating dirt out of the garden.
9:16 am
vanillaslice
we overdo it and lose immunity
9:16 am
MollyL
That's pretty funny Sue : )
9:16 am
hurshy
i think the increase of toxins in the environment isn't helped by cleaning, it's stuff in the water and whatnot.
9:16 am
72 Temple Owl
it seems all designed to sell product
9:16 am
bichon
I don't think bottles get sterilized these days.
9:17 am
uusue2
well, I nursed him, so never sterilized anything
9:17 am
72 Temple Owl
i just cleaned and sterilized the kitchen sink. i boiled water and poured it on after scrubbing. no chemicals required.
9:17 am
bichon

9:18 am
MollyL

Good Afternoon, Everybody! How are you all doing today? It's supposedly 40 degrees here today; but there is a cold strong "breeze" that cuts me to the bone today. DH injured the garage soffit and fascia last evening and I'm trying to fix it; but my hands get too cold and stiff for me to work very long at it.

It's December and I live in Minnesota. I figure that if I can make it not looks so bad (he ran into them with a truck! No feeling in his feet and he shouldn't have been doing that!)

Oh, dear. I meant to say that if I can make it looka bit better we can fix it next spring when the weather will be nicer.

DH will have his knee surgery tomorrow. I hope and pray that his cognition will improve once he isn't hurting so much (he's having torn meniscus removed; it's an out-pt. procedure and *I* don't consider it too big of a deal since I've had both knees worked on for that in the past. But it does hurt;
2:16 pm
Nef
thanks, lynxxx
2:16 pm
lynxxx
Hope it all goes as you expect Nef
2:17 pm
MollyL
I hope everything goes well for him Nef.
2:17 pm
Nef
OOPS! Sorry, wrong box again!
2:18 pm
Nef
Thanks, Molly. I'm just mad that he doesn't know he's hurting till I realize it! His whole family has a very high pain threshold and it makes it tough to know what's going on
2:21 pm
lynxxx
still that can be a blessing in so many instances (high pain threshold)
2:23 pm
Nef
yes, but when coupled with some of his other problems (M.S., neuropathy, and diabetes, for instance) it does become a curse.
2:23 pm
lynxxx
oh I understand that completely
2:23 pm
lynxxx
There are some doozy of words here today
2:24 pm
Nef
oh, well. I'm "stuck" with him in spite of my complaints! :-)
2:24 pm
Nef
there are indeed, lynxxx
2:30 pm
uusue2
hi nef and lynxxx! Cold and windy here too, nef!
2:31 pm
uusue2
and good luck to your hubby on his surgery tomorrow! knees are messy, complicated things :-(
2:32 pm
Nef
we don't have any snow yet! That is really sad (last year we had about 17 inches of snow by now. That was too much; but this is too little
2:32 pm
lynxxx
Morning Sue from a sunny 29 down here
2:33 pm
uusue2
no snow yet here either, nef, although we had an inch of rain yesterday
2:33 pm
Nef
they are indeed, sue. But they are fixable; so looking forward to that
2:33 pm
MollyL
*Stomps foot* No such thing as "too little snow"
2:34 pm
Nef
I heard that Texas is finally getting rain! That's good news
2:34 pm
Nef
Molly, there is if you live in Minnesota!
2:34 pm
uusue2
and sunny would be nice, lynxxx!
2:35 pm
MollyL
I could never see another flake in my life and be a happy person
2:35 pm
uusue2
I read that some of the Swiss ski areas finally got some snow last week - they were really hurting
2:35 pm
lynxxx
Bye all...going to get an early start to my day
2:35 pm
uusue2
bye, lynxxx!
2:37 pm
Nef
Bye lynxxx! HAGD!
2:37 pm
MollyL
Sue, you probably got those em words that often pertain to professors right away.
2:40 pm
uusue2
I only have two em words, molly, one which is really an acronym (and is in the physics babblets) and one which makes you throw up. Not sure which ones often pertain to professors :-)
2:40 pm
uusue2
(but then I have just started)
2:41 pm
uusue2
ah, now I have another one that should describe me after I retire
2:42 pm
MollyL
There is another one too, Sue. Add another vowel.
2:42 pm
uusue2
ah yes, several retired female professors :-)
2:43 pm
MollyL
A whole posse of them. : )
2:45 pm
uusue2
I have found considerable confusion between the various Latin endings among people who really should know better - alumnus, alumna, alumni, alumnae - my all-female undergraduate college has the last of those
2:45 pm
uusue2
(and they use it properly, too!)
2:46 pm
uusue2
but I can't tell you how many new graduates have proudly told me "Now I am an alumni!".
2:46 pm
MollyL
Now, I have alumnated.
2:46 pm
uusue2
ooh, finally got the lone n, now just missing the middle e...
2:47 pm
uusue2
incidentally, I will be lecturing about em4/8 this spring...

2:55 pm

2:56 pm
MollyL
Anyway em4 were a part of the story.

2:57 pm

I'd love to hear your lectures, sue. You sound as though you are passionate about your fireld and would be an interesting lecturer
2:59 pm

3:00 pm
uusue2
thanks, firefly! and good luck, nef!
3:01 pm

ah, no, Molly, I watched an episode or two of Lost (including the last one, since there was such a fuss) but that was about it.

thank you peri! Somewtimes I just need that first little stat and then I see the word! :-)
3:30 pm

os9/60 is the other,new word for me and not sure how to clue it if you do not find it
3:30 pm
periwinkle

3:34 pm
periwinkle
I have it ty
3:34 pm
Nef
well, of course I do (since peri said she'd never heard of it before and didn't know how to clue it)
3:37 pm

I have fo8, and li8
3:39 pm
Nef
I've been using me 5 words on or in the longer words (with mixed results)
3:39 pm
periwinkle
revolting monkeys does not sound good
3:43 pm
Nef
very true, peri. That makes mev think of revolting stomachs for some reason...
3:49 pm
Jacula
os9/60 is a tiresome word to find. In fact, it's an anagram of the 2nd and 3rd words of this post. Hope that helps!:-)
3:50 pm
Nef
nice clue, Jac
3:50 pm
Jacula
Thanks, Nef.
3:51 pm
Nef
sorry, not a word
3:52 pm
Jacula
No. I tried it earlier. LOL
3:53 pm
Nef
it is a word in my former work place though. as in "what's the crit?"
3:54 pm
Jacula
Nef - Enable doesn't even know about emails and internet, yet! LOL
3:56 pm
suefrad625
hi again, cant get the os, what 2 words are you talking about?
3:57 pm
Jacula
sue - the 2nd and 3rd word of the post I gave the clue in.
3:58 pm
Nef
os 9 isn't 2 separate words but it's an anagram
4:07 pm
uusue2
very clever, got it, thanks! (with the help of an online anagram solver...)
4:09 pm
Nef
I'm sorry, I just now thought of a clue for that word.
4:10 pm

Hi, folks -- I need help with me last three. Can anyone help with the em 7 and 8?
4:14 pm
foamflower
How aout the ce7?
4:15 pm

sorry foam - dont have any of them
4:15 pm
Nef
em 7/32 retired female professor (I think) and em8 is the latin pl of that
4:16 pm
foamflower
Thanks, Nef! That did it! Now for that ce7...
4:16 pm
foamflower
In the meantime, anyone need other clues?
4:16 pm
Nef
ce7/36 is sidewalk + 1st vowel
4:17 pm
Nef
I like your icon, BTW. What are those flowers?
4:17 pm
foamflower
Thanks again, Nef! Thought I had tried all that sort of possibility, but obviously missed that.
4:19 pm
foamflower
So no one else is seeking a clue? If not, I'm off to a garden club party.
4:20 pm
foamflower
good luck to all of you!
4:20 pm
Nef
Woo, Hoo! Approaching half way now! And my working outside is over for the day. My hands have had it: soreand swollen form being cold

thanks, hoot! I've never heard of them before. And where have you been, hoot?
4:24 pm
hootowl
Busy mostly
4:24 pm
hootowl
Do the grid as I can but not talking much
4:25 pm
hootowl
don't you have gloves???
4:25 pm
Nef
I wish I could stay out of chat more often. I'd probably finish more grids if I did! ;-)
4:26 pm
hootowl
you have to learn to ignore it
4:27 pm
Nef
I do, hoot, but they don't fit over the brace I need for my arthritc hands; and I'm trying to fix the soffit that my DH hit last night with a truck so the gloves I do have that fit over the braces would get ruined
4:27 pm
hootowl
But I had to tell you what the flowers were
4:27 pm
MollyL
Nef, seriously, you need to use gloves when you work in cold temperatures.
4:28 pm
hootowl
well that is def a pain! Hi Moll
4:28 pm
Nef
<hangs head in shame> Yes, Molly.
4:28 pm
hootowl
Why can't he fix what he broke?
4:29 pm
Nef
it's been 40 degrres F here. That shouldn't be "Cold". It's the wind that makes it colder
4:30 pm
hootowl
Some vaseline rubbed , might help
4:30 pm
hootowl
rubbed in
4:30 pm
hootowl
then rubber gloves
4:31 pm
Nef
he has MS, no balance, no feeling in his feet and a bum knee that will be operated on tomorrow. He used poor judgement thinking he could drive last night
4:31 pm
Nef
he also has no patience with tedious work or fine tuning; so it would end up worse than when I started
4:32 pm
hootowl
aah - sorry. Isn't there a neighbor kid that could help?
4:32 pm
Nef
you know, hoot, that might work! I could try that under the braces even (maybe some Ben Gay or icy hot cream might work)
4:33 pm
hootowl
I think anything that covers the pores. Just don't make it so thick it's slippery
4:33 pm
MollyL
A good moisturizer under cotton gloves while you sleep will do wonders for your hands.
4:35 pm
Nef
that I've done before, Molly. But it doesn't help the arthritis
4:36 pm
Nef
vaseline with the cotton gloves overnight really helps dry cracked cuticles. You have new hands the next day
4:40 pm
hootowl
nuts - off again - bbl
4:40 pm
Nef
thanks, hoot! good clue! :-)
4:42 pm

I'll be in an out of the chog for a while now; I'm trying to write a Christmas newsletter, even though my son keeps interrupting me(!) It's so ne4 to last posting time now, that I'm going to have to do a general letter with personal notes added, rather than individual letters, since I have 24 cards that need letters to go in with them.
5:45 pm
uusue2
good luck with that, jac! I haven't sent out cards in decades...
5:46 pm
MollyL
It's nice that you still do Christmas letters Jac. They are almost a thing of the past. People barely send cards anymore. Which makes me sad. It was the one time of year that you got happy mail (not bills).
5:48 pm
Jacula
I still get lots of cards at Christmas with lovely letters and photos in them. Not so many real (snail mail) letters the rest of the year round, though.
5:54 pm
MollyL
I get tired of the mentality that goes "I'm just too busy". Really? Too busy for what? To send a nice holiday greeting to people you care about? I don't get that at all.

Hi Kap - LOL.
6:04 pm

See how I do it.
6:04 pm

uusue - it's the New Zealanders that sound sort of South African, not the Aussies.

6:20 pm

Get ready for a sugar buzz like you've never experienced before
6:20 pm
lil*monkey
Snickerdoodles are cinnamon-sugar cookies
6:20 pm
MollyL
They are sugar cookies with cinnamon Nef.
6:21 pm
lil*monkey
The dough is rolled into balls, roll the balls in cinnamon sugar, then bake. They flatten out while they bake and they are sort of soft, sort of crispy.
6:21 pm

Yum, I like this conversation! Hello all!
6:22 pm

BRB, have to check on the peanut butter cookies
6:22 pm

I'd never heard of them before seeing a TV ad for the USPS that the guy asks "do I smell snickerdoodles?" and I thought that it was some sort of joke
6:22 pm

now that sounds like something that we should try, lil*
6:23 pm

8:52 pm
Minveryork
I re6/24 ever starting this puzzle.I usually do end up reg5/14ting starting big grids because I never finish the en 6/18 grid. I am no way ne 4/4 fireworks and I am not going to get any ne 6/18, so he 4/5 is a story of clues. My hubby and I often have arguments in our ho 4/6. When I en 5/10ed marriage, I did not realize the frustration it would en 6/18. Hubby and I cannot agr4/6 on too many things. We get ir5/10 with each other so quickly. Hubby and I have so much pe4/5 up anger inside of us. It is te 4/4ing us apart. I am so ti 4/4d of all the fighting. Our fights have ea5/10 away at me my me5/12l state is not great. Most days I sit around and mo4/6 over my misery. I have tried to op 4/5 up to husband about how I feel,however,he does not want to listen.I've tried to it7/28 to my husband the importance of me 4/5ing w/a marriage counselor but he wants no part of that. I think if we we 4/8 to a marriage counselor it may help.I wish we could just me 5/16 together and be happy again. I think that it would be ne4/4 if we could do that.But if my state of misery continues, I'll have no choice but to leave him & go re4/4 an apartment.My fe4/7 wants computer. He is not a ge4/6leman when it comes to the laptop.I better give the computer to him. Don't want to have to experience his er7/32 behavior.Now I am going to get up on my fe4/7 and go watch "My Name is Ea4/4" I hope you found so4/5 more words. I will high ta 4/4 it back he 4/5 tomorrow when I get ho4/6 from work

she was wheeling herself around the halls in Victoria - also trying the walker which was quite painful
