hurshy

$%^@^@$#@$^^@!!

2:02 am

hurshy

$%^@^@$#@$^^@!!

2:06 am

hurshy

i don't understand. i doze off in the day and i experience a reasonable amount of pain as a result. i sleep a bit at night and wake up in unbearable agony. what is the difference

2:06 am

hurshy

why can't i see the doctor today instead of tomorrow

2:06 am

hurshy

tonsil recovery makes no sense

2:07 am

hurshy

i must be having rem sleep and maybe it tenses you up more???

2:10 am

westford

oh hursh I feel so bad for you

2:10 am

westford

why did you decide to have your tonsils out?

2:11 am

westford

come back

2:12 am

westford

maybe you fell back to sleep so I won't wake you

2:14 am

westford

I'll just talk very quietly about tonsils..our 5 year old granddaughter is scheduled to have hers taken out in April. I had mine out when I was 7 ( about a thousand years ago ) and didn't have any problems but now I'm worried about Abby

2:15 am

westford

I questioned the reason for her having them out and her parents said she has been having strep every 4 weeks and the doctors are worried that she's getting too many antibiotics

2:16 am

Yvo

Hurshy,you dont have to wait until tomorow to see your Doctor,you hve been in so much pain, go to Emercency and have them take a look.

2:16 am

westford

when I had mine out I had 2 very bad bouts of strep throat but back then taking kids' tonsils out was so very common.

2:17 am

westford

hi yvo sorry to hog the chat..I thought I was alone

2:18 am

westford

I agree about hurshy though

2:19 am

Yvo

i really never chat cause it moves so fast ,but lurk ,and i did notice she has been in pain way to much

2:19 am

westford

I'll shut up now. Have 6 words to find.

2:19 am

hurshy

oh hi

2:20 am

Dianne

west - I never had mine out but I remeber when it use to be almost common place.

2:20 am

hurshy

i went to google stuff

2:20 am

hurshy

ok here is the thing

2:20 am

hurshy

i got them out to improve my sleep

2:20 am

hurshy

which i do feel hopeful about after i heal

2:21 am

westford

did they take out your adenoids too?

2:21 am

westford

I was reading about trif and toast and holy moley

2:21 am

hurshy

meantime right now i am experiencing multiple forms of pain. the actual pain from the surgery seems to be improving. but meanwhile i've gone off clonazepam and am taking codeine. this pain when i wake up is in the tongue and throat muscles. i just massaged them gently for several minutes and it seems to be gone.

2:22 am

hurshy

no, didn't take out adenoids

2:22 am

hurshy

so something is making me tense up during sleep

2:22 am

hurshy

withdrawal? codeine? dunno.

2:22 am

LuwandaHL

my son,28 just had his out. i discussed it with his pediatrician when he was little because he had so many ear infections and strep. they were adamant about not doing it. he struggled for 3 weeks

2:22 am

LuwandaHL

finally better

2:23 am

westford

I know it's a lot harder to have them out as an adult

2:23 am

hurshy

yeah when they got them out they said they were oozy and pussy and the size of golf balls so i really do think i made the right call

2:23 am

hurshy

so basically i need to ask about this muscle tension during sleep issue.

2:23 am

hurshy

whether there is anything i can do.

2:24 am

hurshy

i mean it seems like it will stop after awhile but in the meantime.

2:24 am

Dianne

have you tried putting Salonpas pads on your throat? The warmth might help.

2:24 am

westford

do you grind your teeth or is that someone else?

2:25 am

westford

good idea dianne

2:25 am

Dianne

Well - it can't hurt, for sure.

2:25 am

hurshy

i used to grind my teeth but i was treated for anxiety disorder and i don't THINK i do anymore but it may have resumed during recovery here, due to pain, due to meds, or something.

2:25 am

hurshy

what are salonpas pads, i will look up.

2:26 am

westford

maybe like those things you can put in the freezer or microwave

2:27 am

Dianne

they are pain relief patches that generate a little heat. Manufactured by Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical.

2:28 am

Dianne

You peel off the back and stick them on the skin.

2:28 am

Dianne

You peel off the back and stick them on the skin.

2:28 am

hurshy

ah i think i have to ask if it's ok

2:28 am

hurshy

during the day

2:28 am

hurshy

the tv was on

2:28 am

hurshy

maybe that kept my sleep from getting deep

2:29 am

hurshy

maybe my muscles didn't have a chance to tense up

2:29 am

ivesy3

be careful. some people get a reaction to the adhesive

2:30 am

hurshy

see the clonazepam has been suppressing my REM sleep so it really like bounces back in response i guess hence the intense dreams (absolute terror at first) i have been having

2:30 am

LuwandaHL

when did you have it done hurshy?

2:30 am

hurshy

tuesday

2:30 am

hurshy

i think once i get through this withdrawal, which is complicating things, and the regular recovery, i think i will do well

2:31 am

Dianne

I hope you will be feeling better very soon.

2:31 am

hurshy

i really am better already than i was

2:31 am

hurshy

the dream i was having was reasonably pleasant not terror so that's progress in itself

2:32 am

westford

can you take anything for the pain?

2:32 am

hurshy

it's just those moments of holy crap when i first wake up

2:32 am

LuwandaHL

I know this doesn't help much but give it time. my son struggled for a while. he slowly withdrew from pain killers then went to ice packs and warm conpresses

2:32 am

hurshy

well no i am not able to take both the codeine for the surger pain and a muscle relaxant for the other pain, i believe they aren't good together

2:33 am

hurshy

yeah ice packs and gently massaging my neck is all helping

2:33 am

westford

I wonder if you are yelling in your sleep

2:35 am

hurshy

nah my husband would notice that

2:35 am

hurshy

stupid scientific articles

2:35 am

westford

mine would probably sleep right through it lol

2:36 am

hurshy

they give you all these details about things that can happen in withdrawal but cannot answer a simple "about how long does it take?" ??

2:38 am

westford

my brother reads those articles all the time..I try to avoid them

2:40 am

hurshy

crap it is making it sound really bad

2:40 am

westford

when do you see the doc again?

2:41 am

hurshy

tues

2:42 am

westford

silly holiday

2:43 am

westford

my husband worked last Mon didn't realize it was Christmas 'observed'

2:43 am

westford

he works from home

2:44 am

westford

cat fight brb

2:48 am

hurshy

really considering i am having the combo of recovery from surgery and withdrawal and the same time, what i'm experiencing is actually remarkably mild i think.

2:48 am

ivesy3

withdrawals depend on how long you have been taking the substance. count on about a week . u will feel as if you have the flu. drink plently of liquids and juice. gatorade to replenish the electrolytes. my son is a recovering drug addict, have been thru it many times with him

2:48 am

hurshy

and i already got past the terror and the dizziness and lightheadedness

2:49 am

hurshy

i have been taking it for years and no doctor mentioned oh by the way it's only working based on a placebo effect at this point

2:49 am

hurshy

stupidheads

2:50 am

hurshy

honestly though that's why i'm doing it now, during recovery, i can't afford to take time off work for both

2:51 am

ivesy3

if the drugstore where u get your presc. didnt get a warning for the pain meds and muscle relax. it should be ok to take. my pharmacy gets flags if two meds. interact.

2:51 am

hurshy

it did, they told me not to take muscle relaxants.

2:52 am

hurshy

but you know sure i wake up in agonizing pain but the fact that i can then massage it and feel better fairly quickly, that's cool right

2:52 am

westford

back..all's right in the kitty world

2:52 am

hurshy

there's never never never never never never never never any trouble here in kittenland, kittenland, kittenland

2:52 am

hurshy

there's never never never never never never never never any trouble here in kittenland, kittenland, kittenland

2:53 am

hurshy

whoops

2:53 am

westford

you knew you'd be in pain but not this much

2:53 am

ivesy3

ok... dumb dr. for giving both then . great that the massage helps it.. . how about moist heat

2:54 am

hurshy

it's ok. i just have to hope that the withdrawal will last days not months and then i will be good

2:55 am

hurshy

i hate all these "you never know everyone responds differently" things.

2:56 am

hurshy

one can have an average anyway. a ballpark.

2:57 am

hurshy

now i am hungry... :)

2:57 am

ivesy3

well my son went to rehab, so he was under drs. care. sounds like u went thru the worst of it already. prob should count on a week or so. . if withdrawals get to bad go to er.

2:57 am

westford

I like 'you may experience a little discomfort'

2:57 am

hurshy

yeah thanks ivesy i think you are right

2:57 am

hurshy

i mean i was on for very long but it was always the minimum dosage

2:58 am

ivesy3

i really like the pain meds for headaches... side effect, headaches.. lol

2:58 am

hurshy

and yeah if it's a week i'm like half done already

2:58 am

hurshy

ok i'm going to go rest thanks for the sympathy and really please do not worry about me west.

2:59 am

westford

I'd make you some scrambled eggs if you didn't live so far away

2:59 am

ivesy3

yw.. u will get thru it.. flu symptoms , aches. just rest and as i said, liquids.... and call me in morning lol

2:59 am

Minveryork

I have finished the grid. Now I'm fr 4/7 to do a story ri 4/7 with clues for you to re5/16 to.I stayed ab4/7 most of the day today resting my he 4/6. Wish that I could do the same tomorrow.I must go back to work. It really ba 4/12les me how some of my students take extended vacations & don't return to school for two more weeks. Their parents do not see the need to he 4/6 school warning about their kids being absent for so long from school.Then the kids come back wearing summer clothes that don't really be5/20 them for the winter weather. Some students will act da 7/56 than usual since they have been at home for a week w/no discipline. Some of the students may return de4/6 to the world because they spent the week sleeping late and playing video games. Students will return and be de 6/30s by not doing what they're supposed to do. I think hubby wants computer.I don't want to get into a ti4/10 with hubby so I'm going to give it to him. I'm going to get up on my fe 4/7 & go fe4/8 my dog some dinner. Then I'm going to make dinner for me and my fe4/7. But do not fr 4/7 because I will be back he4/5 later ready to fi 4/7 out more clues before I reti 4/4 for the evening.

Good Afternoon again! I have a question for you guys: do you have problems playing games on FB? It seems every time I get interested in a game there; they make a change in their system so I can't play, or (like today) I get told that my account is suddenly unavailable at this time.

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

i do play very many games on fb because it is so public it bothers me

4:45 pm

JenMO16

2, hi nef!

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

go jen go!

4:46 pm

Nef

I'm currently playing 5 games of Words with Friends there and I can't get IN to any of them; but it says I can start a game! (I haven't tried to start another game; I have enough going right now)

4:54 pm

JenMO16

4:54 pm

JenMO16

well, need to go

4:54 pm

Nef

I can open my home page, read what others have said there; but I can't play games or post anything there. I certainly hope to goodness that Babble never goes there!

Kaplan the Magne

Going to dinner soon with family. Then I go straight to bed.

5:55 pm

Great ROse BOwl half time program going on, BTW

5:56 pm

MollyL

Party in the PB!! *Taps keg*

5:56 pm

Minveryork

I was pissed off my soaps were not on today because of Football. OLTL days are already numbered as it is.

5:57 pm

Minveryork

Bugsaw, Lickety's list is up and running if you need it.

5:57 pm

Bugsaw

what is OLTL please?

5:57 pm

Minveryork

One Life to Live

5:57 pm

Bugsaw

never got hoooked on those, just the night time ones

5:58 pm

Minveryork

I have not watched night time soaps since Dallas and Falcon Crest & Knots Landing and then Melrose Place.

6:00 pm

Bugsaw

I guess those were considered soaps. I only liked Dallas but since then all the shows try to have well developed characters and continuing story lines

6:00 pm

Bugsaw

Now I like NCIS

6:01 pm

Bugsaw

I just found the fr7. that is slang for sure!

6:02 pm

Minveryork

I always thought it ended with ie instead of double e.

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

me too

6:03 pm

Bugsaw

I wud never have found it without the list

6:03 pm

Minveryork

I never would've found it without a clue I saw before.

6:03 pm

Nef

NCIS is my soap! :-) I never got into soaps; but I remember being 8 yrs. old and we'd go home for lunch and Gramma had "As the World Turns" on. We'd eat soup, sandwich and a piece of fruit with our glass of milk in the kitchen and she'd be in the next room watching her show

6:05 pm

Bugsaw

I started to enjoy NCIS when I saw Gibbs whopping DeNozzo on the back of the head. Brot back fond memories of youth

6:05 pm

Minveryork

I used to watch that show.I do not think of NCIS as a soap oera though. I think of that show as a drama.

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

I think you are right Minveryork. What do you think makes a soap a soap?

6:06 pm

crosshair

wow! are we getting a storm,5 inches last night and 6 more inches of snow this evening and it has a hard wind behind it and it is all coming off the lake,batten down the hatches my southern friends,i think we are sending a frosty present your way:)

6:06 pm

crosshair

looks like it will go all night

6:07 pm

Bugsaw

kids are all praying for a snow day tomorrow crossy. I t must be working

6:07 pm

crosshair

you can stop praying now lol

6:08 pm

Nef

it is a drama, Min. I just never got in to soaps and that one is the closest to a soap that I've ever watched. Denozzo is such a twit at times, mind in the gutter....

6:08 pm

crosshair

our kids do not go back to school till the ninth ,so they do not care

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

now if we could harness that prayer energy to bring about world peace.....

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

wait wait why am i in the pb???

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

when did they get out crossy?

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

i turn my back for a minute. . . .

6:09 pm

crosshair

23rd of dec

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

why are you even he* jmc, I thot you finished

6:09 pm

renfield

crossy.....we're getting part of that storm in paradise - along w/ the storm, well, we get sink holes arrrrrgh

6:10 pm

crosshair

mm,save me from sink holes at least lol

6:10 pm

Minveryork

Hello renfield!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

6:10 pm

jmcnrick

well i stepped out for a minute but finishing is no reason to leave

6:10 pm

crosshair

come home and find it 45 feet below grade buried in mud..no thank you

6:11 pm

Bugsaw

good for you. I always leave when I am done because I am ashamed of how much time I spent already

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

oic my fi**works!

6:11 pm

Minveryork

What makes a soap a soap? Good question?I believe a soap is made up of unrealistic romance and storyline.

6:11 pm

Bugsaw

Is your house still that unfinished jmc?

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

it depends for me bugs--i am in and out regardless of the size of the grid

6:12 pm

jmcnrick

well it is not as unfinished as it looks in the pic--some of that is trellises

6:12 pm

Bugsaw

are you closed in all the way then?

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

original a soap was a "realistic" serial story on which soaps were advertised . . . .

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

but no one came to work today and considering they were he** on thanksgiving i was surprised

6:13 pm

Minveryork

I NEVER leave when I finish the puzzle,unless it's late at night and I need to go to bed. But I always wait 5 minutes to see if babblers need clues before sign off.

6:13 pm

renfield

this is babbler's homeland - the chog is our telephone system -

6:13 pm

Bugsaw

all the shows have unrealistic romance if you ask me

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

yes i am closed in

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

its a party line!!!

6:14 pm

renfield

really is jmc - i think min is our operator!

6:14 pm

jmcnrick

i just mapped out where my furniture will go when they paint my bedroom and tomorrow there is a big powwow with the architect and contractor about lights

6:14 pm

Bugsaw

me too Min. I always ask if anyone needs help before I go but my clues are pretty different

6:15 pm

Nef

As the world turns was a radio program first....

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

lighting can make a huge difference. have fun

6:15 pm

Minveryork

My clues are not that original. They are pretty bland.

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

after you get used to everyone style you can get their clues--even the people who repeatedly misclue

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

days of our lives

6:16 pm

Minveryork

Guiding Light was a radio program at first too I think

6:16 pm

jmcnrick

wikipedia!

6:16 pm

Minveryork

That would be me!I have been known to misclue A LOT

6:16 pm

renfield

there is a site where you can listen to the old radio programs

6:17 pm

crosshair

indeed jmc,a clue do not have to be pinpoint accurate but if it shines a light in the direction you need to go,then it is enough

6:17 pm

Minveryork

I guess the clueless should not clue, but I can't help it

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

haha no you don't min cluing the wrong word is different than misclueing to me

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

crossy is correct

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

i listen to old time radio every sunday night--but no soap operas

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

I love your clues Min. Please don't stop

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

i used to watch them with my grandmother

6:19 pm

Minveryork

That's what I thought U meant by miscluing jmcnrick.\

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

besides your clue stories are frequently a god send

6:19 pm

Nef

I'm with Min. I give clues that *I* think make a lot of sense; but it seems most of the time they don't help others that much

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

no i mean when people add or drop letters in their clues

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

some people do it so regularly you know to look for it

6:19 pm

Minveryork

Oh, I have not seen too much of that unless I am just clueless.

6:20 pm

jmcnrick

i don't know anyone in babbleland that i haven't been helped by

6:20 pm

Minveryork

I do, the LURKERS!

6:20 pm

jmcnrick

different people are on at different times

6:20 pm

crosshair

any cluing is voluntary and as such much appreciated by crossy,no matter what form it take

6:21 pm

jmcnrick

haha min! even some of them come out from time to time!

6:21 pm

jmcnrick

and i say god bless us everyone!

6:21 pm

renfield

lol min!

6:22 pm

Bugsaw

I love it when a new lurker gets involved enough to join in

6:22 pm

saanichcat

Happy new year to all babblers from an an-and-off "lurker"!!

6:22 pm

Nef

Oh, My Goodness! I need to clean off my desk! I just found a pile of unopened Christmas cards and bills on it! Guess my evening is now planned out....

6:22 pm

crosshair

ahh the drawing out of the lurkers..great sport!:)

6:23 pm

jmcnrick

hi saan and happy new year

6:23 pm

saanichcat

oh crossy...

6:23 pm

Nef

I love the newbies who get hooked. Once that happens; I encourage them to join up..

6:23 pm

jmcnrick

well the mail doesn't come until tomorrow nef!

6:23 pm

saanichcat

hi jmc!

6:23 pm

crosshair

yes saan?

6:24 pm

jmcnrick

what i want to know is which babblers got me hooked on jigidi

6:24 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Saanichcat.

6:24 pm

saanichcat

I'm a good sport, for a lurker, that is

6:24 pm

Bugsaw

Jilli got me hooked on that one jmc

6:25 pm

saanichcat

Hi Bugs, how's by you?

6:25 pm

Minveryork

There is a very a long delay when entering my posts.

6:25 pm

crosshair

ahh yes you are,but i see you from time to time,but the real lurkers..ah,they are like the loch ness monster,you hear of them and get the odd sighting on a foggy night...

6:25 pm

jmcnrick

i think it was jilli for me too :( but it is fun

6:26 pm

saanichcat

ahhh, who's there upon the heath?

6:26 pm

crosshair

i found the game on stumble upon and went pro exactly 3 days later lol

6:26 pm

Bugsaw

we are having so much rain up here we might float away. save me some room in your boat

6:27 pm

crosshair

lol,we are getting non stop snow now and whiteouts bugsaw

6:27 pm

Bugsaw

I think I found Babble on stumbleupon too and went pro after I finished for the second time

6:27 pm

saanichcat

same here Bugs, I have an enchanting waterfall in my bedroom.

6:27 pm

saanichcat

new roof time

6:28 pm

Bugsaw

we don't have to shovel rain but it sure makes the ground soft.

6:28 pm

Minveryork

I totally understand the lurkers. I'm a lurker in public forums and places. I don't need to lurk he 4/5 though since no one can see me he4/5.I'm a very shy person.

6:28 pm

crosshair

not that i was hooked mind you,but i am are of the costs that dr_god incurs in this type of thing and wished to help:))

6:28 pm

Bugsaw

oh now Saanich. Roofs are not cheap

6:28 pm

saanichcat

I know. Just researching grants available.

6:29 pm

Bugsaw

I am not aware of the costs crossy but I like how he monitors it and keeps the trolls and nasty people away

6:29 pm

crosshair

indeed,i had the same job on gamespy.com once upon a time..great fun tossing trolls

6:30 pm

saanichcat

I am tired of the blue ones, the orange ones, and even the clear ones I have had over the last few years. My shake roof got 35 good years and a few bad ones. Thses one.

6:32 pm

Bugsaw

We have a metal roof saanich. I love the sound of the rain over my head and the house insurance is less because of decreased chance

6:32 pm

Bugsaw

of fire

6:32 pm

Bugsaw

oops, PB with more chocolates for me ;(

6:33 pm

saanichcat

I want a metal one too but can't afford it but will keep trying for it anyway. No more roof work, worth the price in lost sleep worrying. Where abouts are you? The mainland?

6:34 pm

Bugsaw

Courtenay

6:34 pm

Minveryork

My dad sent me a link to Babble in an e-mail. He said I would like it since I liked to play "Scrabble".I waited a few months to open that link he sent me since I knew that I would get addicted to game and of course I did

6:34 pm

saanichcat

Mark Twain loved the sound of rain on the roof so much that he put up an tin sheet on the roof over his bedroom so he could hear the rain bettter

6:35 pm

Bugsaw

maybe I am Mark Twain reincarnated then. It is the most soothing sound

6:35 pm

Minveryork

I did not go pro until over a year after I joined Babble

6:35 pm

Nef

It took you that long, Min? I didn't realize that

6:36 pm

saanichcat

Courtenay, one of my favourite places. I remember we used to have Island Trips in the 50s

6:36 pm

crosshair

metal roofing is so nice now.you can get it in the shape of those terra cotta shingles they use in portugal and other such places..looks nice

6:36 pm

Nef

Bugs, it's very rare for us to see tin roofs in Minnesota. I don't know why that is though

6:36 pm

saanichcat

There are also faux shake roofs

6:37 pm

rururocks

I think I followed Dee here from Boggle many years ago

6:37 pm

Minveryork

Hi rururocks!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

6:37 pm

rururocks

i've heard about faux milk shakes

6:37 pm

Bugsaw

There is a room ready for any Babblers who come my way!

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

McDs makes faux milk shakes ruru. they are not even allowed to call them that!

6:38 pm

crosshair

mooma played the guitar then,and daddy made the saw blade spin,and raindrops played the tin roof like a drum...i just kept on dreaming that the song that i was singing takes me down the road to where i want to go,,now i know,it,s a long hard road..arrrooo

6:39 pm

saanichcat

Exactly waht might be in a "faux milkshake" ...makes me wince to think

6:39 pm

Minveryork

I don't make New Year's resolutions,but it's a lifelong resolution to one day meet some babblers in person.I could just meet 1 babbler in person and I'd die happy.

6:39 pm

Nef

lots of sodium and calories, Sann

6:39 pm

crosshair

i would love to meet a babbler or 3 face to face

6:40 pm

crosshair

i think carlee would be the closest to me

6:40 pm

saanichcat

Hey Bugs, I will remember that!!! Ditto for anyone on lower Van. Island

6:40 pm

Minveryork

I am never able to make it to those Babble meet-ups.

6:40 pm

Bugsaw

appparently there is a lot of flour. When my son was diagnosed with Celiac the first thing the doctor told was not to give him a McD shake

6:41 pm

crosshair

nor am i,they are always a 2000 mile drive south

6:41 pm

Minveryork

I know someone who's really close to me, but I forget her name and she does not come into the chog often.

6:41 pm

Nef

I hope to meet some Babblers someday soon. I almost got to last year, but then DH got sick so the trip to Montana (and meeting lbd, harp, and maybe Jillyjill) got scrubbed

6:41 pm

saanichcat

Crossy, Stid , Jillibus, Flosey, stidmere and stidkid had a wonderful time a few years back -- we were already "friends" but became even more so.

6:41 pm

Bugsaw

I come down to Victoria fairly regularly to see my kids and grandkids. One day I will look you up then. I believe you know jilli too

6:42 pm

Minveryork

Of course there is my sister-in-law, but she does not count.She is also a lurker who NEVER enters the chog

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

where abouts in ny are you min? I like to travel

6:43 pm

Nef

there seems to be very few Babblers he4/5 where I live. I know that there is at least 1 or 2; but they aren't around often

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

I think I have the record on number of babblers i have met! haha

6:44 pm

Nef

you and stid, maybe, jmc! :-)

6:44 pm

Minveryork

I live in Dutchess in a small town called Poughquag. It is near Poughkeepsie & also not far from Danbury,CT.

6:45 pm

jmcnrick

well i am going up to RI this summer and to a texan that is a hop-skip and a jump away min

6:46 pm

Minveryork

What's in RI? Have some college friends who live there

6:46 pm

Bugsaw

please give Minveryork a hug from me if you can meet jmc

6:48 pm

Minveryork

I think New York City would be a great place to have a babble meetup because U could get people from NY New Jersey, Pennyslvania and southern Connecticut.

6:49 pm

Minveryork

I would try to get my sister-in-law to go with me. My husband would freak if he new I was going to NYC to meet a bunch of "strangers". Oh well,wishful thinking.

6:50 pm

Minveryork

*knew

6:51 pm

Nef

I belong to a private nursing board; and one of the members said her folks considered the rest of us as "her little internet friends" and not really real people!

6:51 pm

jmcnrick

i hope we have a meet up in nyc since i think some one from europe (forgotten who brain de** yet again) said she was visiting

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

my boy knows better since I have gone to Washington State and Philly to meet ups and DC came to my office party

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

not to mention a side trip last summer to meet joansie and uu

6:52 pm

Bugsaw

wow. i finally got the last word

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

so i will have to come up to Poughquag so it won't be strangers

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo bugs!

6:53 pm

Bugsaw

anyone need a clue before I go for food?

6:53 pm

Nef

back in 2003 about 25 of us met up in Vegas (where she lives) and we had a great time. Her parents didn't believe she met with any of us! I guess they thought we were all imaginary or something!

6:53 pm

Minveryork

Wow, jmcnrick! I believe that you do hold the record for meeting the most babblers in person. Good for U!

6:54 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Nef on you fi 4/7works! Good for you

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

6:55 pm

FB is messing with me. I can read posts but I can't post and I can't get in to any of my Words with Friends games. Every time I try to post, it tells me I'm not signed in and I need to go to a computer and log in and follow directions. I only go online on a computer!

7:06 pm

stidmama

I am pretty sleepy, Min, to be honest... was going to make something with parsnips for supper, but I might just let Tom and the boys fend for themselves and go to bed early. Just in case I get a call to work tomorrow morning. *sigh*

7:07 pm

Minveryork

You are welcome stidmama. Now that I'm going back to work, not sure I'll be able to do one every day now

7:28 pm

stidmama

That's how I feel, Min -- though work is never guaranteed, the online things I do to help folks out are dependent on energy at the end of the day.

7:28 pm

buffgirl71

Crossy, I have a great sauerkraut recipe. I have it in a Word doc. If you want to send me an email buffgirl71@comcast.net, I'll reply with it as an attachment.

7:28 pm

stidmama

Oh, and I decided I was spending WAY too much time and energy checking online things, so after today I will only be online before 7 am and after 5 pm... LOL with luck that will force me to take care of some of the non-computer tasks (like art and music) that have been languishing.

7:29 pm

Minveryork

Hi buffgirl71! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:29 pm

Minveryork

Is that your New Year's resolution? Good luck with it.

not a resolution, Hubz decided we were doing the kitchen this weekend.

7:35 pm

stidmama

I think it's manageable, *pockets two cents*, and I want to be able to tell my students honestly that I am actively engaged as a citizen.

7:35 pm

stidmama

oooh. nice, LBD! Tom is pretty happy right now with the state of things, so the kitchen gets cleaned, but not much else. Maybe next summer...

7:36 pm

oh, I finished the grid early this morning. took me about 20 minutes.

8:49 pm

Nef

Just thought I'd let you all know that FB has totally screwed me over. I've now tried to post there and do domething on my Mac, DH's PC and our pc laptop and when I try to post on FB on all 3 of them; I get a message that says I need to go sign on on a computer and then follow the directions. Has anyone else had problems there today?

8:50 pm

Minveryork

de5/18 word rhymes with the re 5/16 word Picklesny

9:37 pm

stidgmere

Hi Crossy and all. I'm going to watch more football. The Ducks took it to Wisconsin and I'm getting a pound of cheddar cheese as a result of a little wager. Only lucky--that was a close game.

9:37 pm

crosshair

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Stid

9:43 pm

herinfernallady

One of himselfs work mates is married to a Canadian and he loves it there. Except he has her translate

9:43 pm

crosshair

it is a lovely area indeed

9:43 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Herin saying 'It's summer!' sounds so arse about to me, since we are ploughing into winter here in UK. 80mph winds and lashing rain predicted for later today and the wind's picking up already at 3.43am.

9:44 pm

crosshair

lol,jacula..rain sounds wierd to me since we are being buried alive in snow and howling winds

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

Jac you have 3 min of Summer in England :P

9:44 pm

crosshair

all a matter of locale and perspective

9:45 pm

Jacula

Herin - we do get more than that but I take your point. At least we appreciate what we get. LOL

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

Well when it is 30C at midnight you can't appreciate it.

9:45 pm

Jacula

crossy Scotland and the north have the snow right now.

9:45 pm

crosshair

i count my blessings here,we get 4 real seasons

9:46 pm

crosshair

but when it is minus 30c in january,it trys our patience

9:46 pm

herinfernallady

Then again this is the first time in years it has been a real Summer Christmas / New Years

9:46 pm

Jacula

crossy - yes, you get 4 seasons, but do you get them all in one dau like we do?

9:47 pm

Jacula

*daY

9:47 pm

crosshair

lol,we can get three of them,so you win there jacula

9:47 pm

Jacula

*licks finger and posts one up for UK*.

9:47 pm

crosshair

unlike new zealand,we cannot bake on the beach and ski in the same day

9:49 pm

Jacula

I think Auckland at the very least would be wishing for different now. They're still not sure if they're due to fall into an abyss. My cousin lives over there. His home has been okay so far but his business premises have not.

9:49 pm

herinfernallady

Oooooooooo There is a good idea run off to the Alps

9:49 pm

mrpresident

tire tiree

9:49 pm

mrpresident

oops, sorry

crosshair

9:49 pm

crosshair

howdy mrp

9:49 pm

Jacula

Hello MrP.

9:50 pm

Jacula

Your first word was correct, MrP., but not your 2nd.

9:50 pm

Jacula

Crossy - more earthquakes anmd aftershocks.

9:51 pm

crosshair

i am out of the loop,this is the first i have heard of quakes in NZ

9:52 pm

Jacula

Crossy - really? Blimey!

9:52 pm

crosshair

i do not watch television and read papers 4 times a week with a 3 day break

9:53 pm

crosshair

last paper i would of read would of been saturady mornings edition

9:53 pm

Jacula

Crossy - I'd find it difficult not to know what was going on in the world and even if I didn't read or watch the news, I have family all around the world.

9:54 pm

crosshair

like i say,i 3 the 3 big daily papers 4 times a week

9:54 pm

Jacula

Last new quake in NZ was Christmas Eve and then big aftershocks, crossy.

9:54 pm

crosshair

nex tpaper will be wed mornigs edition

9:54 pm

crosshair

mm,missed it totally then

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Mr Pres.

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

We had the TV off since Sat

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

9:56 pm

Jacula

Herin - you must've known about the NZ quake, surely?

9:56 pm

Jacula

Hi Jes.

9:56 pm

herinfernallady

yes that was before Christmas

9:57 pm

Jacula

Herin - yes, I said - it was Xmas Eve.

9:57 pm

herinfernallady

I do read the papers online but tv nope

9:58 pm

Jacula

MrP - unless you're still trying to make some point about 'friends', please feel free to post. It's silly to not speak just 'cos I'm here.

9:59 pm

crosshair

lol,not much use for television either eh herin?

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

This weekend no. Well Sat night one of the cats put the tv on and it was red hot when we got up. So it stayed off.Monday nothing was on unless you include Cricket. And it was turned on late last night

10:01 pm

Jacula

We've watched some very good new BBC dramas on TV over Christmas here.

10:01 pm

crosshair

lol,herin here with the cable we have over 200 channels and there is still nothing on! out of it all about 5 chanbnels shine through

10:01 pm

Jacula

crossy - it's the same here in UK.

10:02 pm

crosshair

:(

10:02 pm

herinfernallady

Plus himself has been enjoying his computer games

10:03 pm

crosshair

soon,we will be offerend what is called a la carte programming where we can get the basic pack then cherry pick 10 or 20 of our fave cnannels so we do not have all the crap

10:03 pm

Jacula

I've got such a comprehensive video and dvd film collection now that even the people who run our local shop (including dvd hire) come here to ask to borrow films. I find that highly amusing.

10:04 pm

herinfernallady

I wish we had a pick your own channel with Cable at the moment we have basic packs like 5 channels of sport and 5 of news and blah blah blah

10:04 pm

herinfernallady

Jac we are like that too

10:05 pm

crosshair

here we get basic,then if you want the 5 good channels,they come in the next upgrade and it has a bunch of french channels,a bunch of weather channels,a bunch of news channels and a bunch of aboriginal channels..all crap

10:05 pm

Jacula

Herin - if they want them to watch for their own family, I'm happy to oblige. However, if they want to borrow them to hire it - it will cost them.

10:06 pm

herinfernallady

Cross I think I worked out our cable to be $100 a month for all i wanted. Or we could source it free from friends

10:06 pm

herinfernallady

O and still no smoking.

10:06 pm

crosshair

good for herin!!

10:06 pm

Jacula

I've also recently found out that I now have more books in my collection, both modern and classic than the local library has.

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

yay for no smoking, lady!

10:07 pm

crosshair

lol,need a bigger house,or a new library

10:07 pm

Jacula

It's so awful how local libraries have been pruned down now!

10:07 pm

Jacula

Well done on not smoking, Herin. We still haven't quite got there yet.

10:07 pm

crosshair

we are lucky,we just built a new 5 million dollar library and it is a hub of our town

10:08 pm

herinfernallady

Jac we have the tiniest library here but we can cross borrow

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

I still have a puff or two but not actually had a smoke since November. It was really really weird NYE to sit about not smoking. I did at two occasions have an unlit one in my hand because I didn't know what else to do with my hands

10:10 pm

Jacula

A few of the small villages around here and generally in the UK have phonebox libraries. They are honesty libraries, where you borrow books then take them back and you add books. Not one in this village because someone would probably set fire to it.

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

That is sad Jac

10:11 pm

crosshair

that is sad,why burn a library?

10:11 pm

Jacula

Herin - I know just what you mean about your hands. Still doesn't beat what my grandma said about not switching off the TV when she had visitors because she wouldn't know what to do with her eyes. LOL

10:12 pm

Jacula

It's the 'chav' culture. Look up 'chav' on Google or Wiki.

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

be6,33 please?

10:12 pm

crosshair

so..these thugs burn the museums as well?

10:12 pm

herinfernallady

chav - bogan same thing

10:12 pm

Jacula

That last post was in answer to why burn books.

10:13 pm

crosshair

it is not a culture it is against the law

10:13 pm

Jacula

crossy - did you not see footage of the UK riots last summer?

10:13 pm

crosshair

when to they start burning the hospitals?

10:13 pm

crosshair

a few brief clips yes

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

Jac that made me so sad.

10:14 pm

crosshair

stupidity...put them in jail and charge them to the fullest extent of the law

10:14 pm

Jacula

jess - be6/33 = be + raised parton a guitar neck that allows the tune to be chaned.

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, jac

10:15 pm

Jacula

Herin - it made me sad, too and finished not a mile and a half from my own doorstep.

10:15 pm

crosshair

we are still arresting them from out vancouver riot..and they will alla nswer

10:15 pm

Jacula

Jess - y/w

10:16 pm

crosshair

and as my typing is breaking down.i will bid you all good night

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

Night Cross.

10:16 pm

herinfernallady

Jac seeing those buildings burn was so sad

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, crossy

10:17 pm

Jacula

'Night crossy.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Herin - yes, it was. More so watching a young woman jump from one to her death.

10:18 pm

jesdraggon

re7/40 please?

10:18 pm

Jacula

But let's not be maudlin! It's a new year! New start, new chances.

10:18 pm

Jacula

re7/40 - more like the Great Barrier in Australia.

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

egads. thanks, jac! that was full of fish! :)

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

fireworks for me

10:19 pm

Jacula

*throws rays, plaice, cod and mackerel at jess.

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

Typical I missed the more of ending

10:21 pm

Jacula

Any more clues needed?

10:22 pm

Jacula

*chucks whole crate of frozen fish at Herin - who should have seen that word! LOL

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

I will take a fish too.

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Jes

10:24 pm

Jacula

Erm, are you okay, Herin? * surveys arms and legs of Herin that are sticking out from beneath heavy crate of frozen fish.*

10:25 pm

Jacula

My aim was never that accurate at school in sports nor after, playing darts, pool and bowling. So sorry Herin!

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

The cat retrived the fish all good

10:26 pm

Jacula

*begins to wonder how she can raise the money to support Herin for the rest of her life, since she seems to have disabled her.*

10:26 pm

Jacula

PHEW!

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Jac I pitch with my right catch with my left

10:26 pm

Jacula

Herin now has a disabled cat?

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

No she was fairly window licking special to start with

10:27 pm

Jacula

Herin - same here! That's weird.

10:28 pm

Jacula

To be more accurate, I throw with my left hand, too.

10:29 pm

Jacula

I'm pretty much ambidextrous though. Don't think I spelled that correctly.

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

When I played cricket I had a mean pitch

10:30 pm

Jacula

Ditto, Herin. Haven't played field or beach cricket for many years now, though.

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

This grid has too many e's

10:30 pm

Jacula

It's easy to confuse or wrong foot people when you're a southpaw, though.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Only 5 'e' words, herin.

10:31 pm

Jacula

7 e's in the whole grid.

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

It confuses people when you catch left throw right

10:33 pm

Jacula

YUP!

10:33 pm

Jacula

It also confuses people when you set off with your left foot rather than the right.

10:34 pm

Jacula

Especially if you are making your way over a rock pool on a beach.

10:36 pm

herinfernallady

hehehe

10:36 pm

Jacula

Beloved once tried to be gentlemanly and help me over a rock pool. He hadn't anticipated my leftiness, though and ended up throwing me over his shoulder and landing on top of me.... much to the amusement of onlookers. It's probably on youtube somewhere. Not from either of us, though!

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

Awww

10:37 pm

Jacula

We could her the people in cars at the top of the small cliff laughing after.

10:39 pm

Jacula

His daughter nearly expired trying NOT to laugh, but she couldn't help herself in the end.

10:41 pm

herinfernallady

opps

10:41 pm

Jacula

And to this day we still argue about whose 'fault' it was that we both ended up winded like beached whales on a Devon beach.

10:42 pm

herinfernallady

So it was a very non romantic On the Beach moment?

10:43 pm

Jacula

Actually, it was one of our romantic moments, believe it or not.

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

Awwwwwwww

10:43 pm

Jacula

It's got to be better than getting sand in your sensitive bits. LOL!

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

lols

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

The beach why i hate it so

10:46 pm

Jacula

I see you've been down that road, Nuff said! More clues, anyone?

10:47 pm

Jacula

*that's my equivalent of saying 'More tea, Vicar?'

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

Yes when swimming you cheeky sod

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

Specially in Queensland surf

10:49 pm

Jacula

You mean you haven't 'done it' on the beach??

10:49 pm

Jacula

More tea, vicar?

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

(Nope nudest beach car yes)

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

Hey look sky

10:51 pm

Jacula

*vicar, legs crossed, to Jacula: - I really need the loo now. Do you have a downstairs convenience?' Jac to Vicar: 'Soory! No!'

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

Pandora has decided to hog the couch cushion thus pushing my shoulder out.

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

With no smoking I should be able to get the foot stool I want

10:52 pm

Jacula

*charges to Church for this month - i carpet clean Â£20.* LOL

10:55 pm

Jacula

Nosmo King here - you might save a lot of money by cutting me out of your life but thik of the cost to your social life - most local pubs in UK are now gone.

10:56 pm

herinfernallady

I actually blame no smoking in clubs to an increase in pub violence. No one is taking time to stop drinking have a smoke in the garden and being chill

10:56 pm

Jacula

The government in UK will never ban smoking entirely because they make too much revenue from it. But money that once came in has gone now, and they hadn't foreseen that.

10:58 pm

Jacula

Herin - that might be true to a very small degree, but I blame UK Gov for allowing 24-hour drinking as far as violence and more murders and road deaths.

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

But even when i was clubbing there was 24 hour clubs /pubs and there was not nearly as bad violence.

11:00 pm

Jacula

DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE and don't try to drink and socialise with anyone you have an issue with. hat way, we we all be safe at Christmas.

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

i know there was 24 hour pubs as we would go clubbing till 6 then go to a bar/pub/cafe and have booze and breakfast

11:00 pm

Jacula

Clubs used to be 1 or midnight till 3 here in UK.

11:02 pm

Jacula

People used to fuel up in the pubs and then go to the clubs,. All I know now is that the relaxed drinking hours hav caused more misery and violence.

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

We had a few dives. They have all gone and got cleaned up which SUCKS

11:04 pm

Jacula

And, of course, there is the new chemical drug culture to go with that, added to the lack of social conscience that makes people think it's okay to drug other people. This isn't what the 60s was about!

11:05 pm

herinfernallady

Is there a drink spiking issue?

11:06 pm

Jacula

I'm sounding like an old lady now, so I will go . I miss the old timees, though, when most people were halfway to decent.

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

I think manners and culture have changed

11:08 pm

Jacula

Herin - my daughter once got her drink spiked with Ketamine (a horse tranquillizer), I'm sure I've mentioned it before. She almost died on a pavement outside a club, if it was not for the lfriend she was with and the paramedics he called.

11:09 pm

Jacula

He was like a 2nd son to me, and even though they split up some years ago now, he's still my 2nd son.

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

That is disgusting. I never understand people that do this. GBH is the thing here not Special k.

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

Pardon the lingo.

11:13 pm

Jacula

I'm a bit like lady whatsherface And her haughty MIL from Downnton Abbey now - we know the right man for our girl, but does she and does he??

11:14 pm

herinfernallady

Havent seen the show sorry.

11:15 pm

Jacula

I doubt I'll get the man I want for my daughter and it's also time I went to bed now. Happy Babling, all. x

11:16 pm

herinfernallady

Jac we just have to be grateful for those that are the kindest to our loved ones

11:16 pm

herinfernallady

Niht night

11:18 pm

Jacula

No money to speak of and not the best looking of the b/f's that followed, but he was so lovely a nd, as I said, became my 2nd son, and I love him. He's about to marry a new girl now. I wish him all the best.
