1:05 am

Interesting, lyn! Her grandmother was my aunt -- my dad's sister. All the other relatives are from my mother's side.

rururocks

1:12 am

rururocks

6 weeks to three months

1:14 am

lynxxx

Not so long - and you will be pain free! what a relief that will be

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

what all are they expecting to do ru?

1:15 am

jillibus

welcome to the 6-week club, ruru

1:15 am

rururocks

arthroscopic on my right knee for now and full knee replacement on my left one.. + the butt implants

1:15 am

rururocks

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

butt implants?

1:16 am

rururocks

lol.. just kidding dee

1:16 am

rururocks

that's the new thing in LA

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... I was going to say, I'll be glad to donate

1:17 am

lynxxx

You won't need butt implants...sitting and laying around for 6-12 weeks will get some padding on your butt (& stomach)

1:17 am

rururocks

It takes a lot of Booty to pay for it though

1:17 am

lynxxx

double groan

1:17 am

rururocks

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

el 7/36

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

lol

1:19 am

rururocks

actually lyn..i've lost 28 pounds

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

wow that's a lot ru especially being more inactive

1:19 am

lynxxx

wow - under doctors orders?

1:20 am

rururocks

yeah..I'm really pleased so far...

1:20 am

rururocks

yeah sorta

1:20 am

rururocks

he said it will help me a lot to get to 200lbs or less

1:24 am

lynxxx

It matters such a lot when you have ops (my brother just went that - plus a heap of other stuff - in the last few months),. In fact keeping your weight down becomes such an issue as you get older - it causes so many complications (sigh)

1:26 am

rururocks

yeah.. there's gonna be less of me to love..

1:27 am

lynxxx

but think of all the hard muscle that will be there instead! well - after you can get active again

1:28 am

rururocks

I sure hope so... I've never had surgery..

1:30 am

lynxxx

it's nothing! they keep you nicely drugged up so no pain and fuss over you when you really need it...the only dreary side is hospital food and no decent coffee (get someone to bring it in for you)

1:30 am

rururocks

okay.. off to bed for me.. night you guys.. take care

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

nite ru sleep well

1:30 am

good to see you remembered your towel - very, very important to have with you!

5:16 am

sprite

isn't it :D I wanted to put up Towel Day as theme, but that is uusue's birthday. So... today it is!

5:17 am

Trifioso

I LOVE Douglas Adams....

5:17 am

sprite

oh so do I! I live by many of his quotes, lol.

5:18 am

sprite

One of my favorites is: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."

5:18 am

Trifioso

I actually sa4 "so long and thanks for all the fish" to a server at the grocery store once, after he had handed me my fish purchases. My roommate cracked up laughing, but the poor guy at the counter was LOST

5:18 am

Dachef

"It's at times like this I wish I'd listened to what my mother told me." "Why? What did she tell you?" "I don't know - I never listened!"

5:18 am

Trifioso

that is a good quote indeed, sprite!

5:18 am

Trifioso

LOL dachef

5:19 am

sprite

lol Dachef, right so!

5:19 am

sprite

oh and this one, I use it on forums as signature:
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

5:20 am

Dachef

Or my fave: 'Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.'

5:20 am

sprite

yesssss that is a brilliant one.

5:20 am

Trifioso

I remember laughing out loud when reading...."That About Wraps it up for God" It just was so irreverent

5:22 am

Dachef

'Space is big. Really big. You might think its a long way down the road to the chemist's, but thats just peanuts to space.'

5:22 am

sprite

and another from the hitchhikers guide, when the guy is lying in front of a bulldozer to keep it from flattening his house, and the bulldozer guy says: "You cannot lie here forever." And the guy answers: "Not? Let's see who rusts first."

5:22 am

Trifioso

oh dear. laptop is about to die....

5:22 am

MollyL

This is one of those cult things, like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", right?

5:22 am

Trifioso

hey there molly malone! can't sleep either, huh?

5:23 am

sprite

oh yes! The Babel fish... the thing so unlikely to have evolved just by incident that it proves God exists, and proof is the end of faith, and without faith God is nowhere... so God does not exist.

5:23 am

MollyL

No (said in a disgusted voice) I actually have to work today.

5:23 am

Trifioso

I am working today as well, but not until 11

5:23 am

Dachef

Oh yes, says God, I hadnt thought of that. And promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

5:23 am

sprite

hi Molly! I guess so. I think it should be compulsory reading at schools.

5:24 am

Dachef

It has long been a personal quest of mine to introduce Americans to the works of the late great DA.

5:25 am

Trifioso

I'm am American dachef, so well done you!

5:25 am

sprite

I read the Hitchhikers Guide when I was still in highschool and I have promoted DA ever since. He is so funny and yet so deep.

5:26 am

Trifioso

laptop is dying.....goodbye, cruel world!

5:26 am

Dachef

Douglas Adams had more of an influence on my life than any teacher or politician.

5:26 am

sprite

*looks sad* Byebye dear Triffles.

5:27 am

sprite

I have had a few teacher that influenced me more. But Adams is high on the list for me too.

5:29 am

sprite

lovely to meet another addict, Dachef!

5:29 am

Dachef

Yup, totally froopy. Nice to know someone who knows where their towel is.

5:31 am

sprite

we should drink to that. Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters.

5:31 am

sprite

but.... NO poetry!

5:33 am

Dachef

If there are any lurkers who have no clue what we're talking about - look up The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and subsewuent sequels. I personally guarantee your life will be richer if you do.

5:34 am

sprite

and you'll be laughing a lot while reading... enriching your life and picking up great philosophy without having to study :)

5:34 am

sprite

btw, that is one book that has been brilliantly translated in Dutch. Really brilliantly. And that is something I don't say often.

5:37 am

Dachef

gotta run - back to finish later.

5:37 am

sprite

bye Dachef! Don't run... no haste... time is an illusion...

5:51 am

sprite

darn... I want he who da**s to be a da**ator.

5:55 am

MollyL

Well, it can be Sprite. Just put it on that endlessly long list of words Enable doesn't recognize.

5:56 am

sprite

yeah, I guess that is the only option. We are so much better in english than enable!

5:57 am

sprite

yesterday my favorite word was a phantom. Today, coital is too. But ADHD is in the grid. Life can be so odd.

6:13 am

I'm afraid our two lazy cats might decide to catch one if I used poison, and off themselves

8:42 am

rbud

might slow the mice down enough for them to actually catch, haha

8:43 am

no they have to go outside -- it makes them thirsty and they need water--rodents cant throw up so it kills them rather than any other animals

when we lived on the farm,it was a endless battle with mice..we were surrounded by grain fields,so we just live trapped and worked daily of closing off all entrances and all food was in plasic or glass containers

we would catch 5-20 mice a night

8:50 am

what would you do with them once trapped?

8:50 am

our declawed cat is the best mouser of our two, don't know how he does it.

8:51 am

just take them out and release them,there is a never ending mouse population so we were on the defense and not the offense

8:51 am

we had a mommy mouse in the house one winter and my hubby would catch them--he only told me the next year how many he caught because the mommy kept producing prodigious supplies of babies

8:51 am

LeslieAnn

10:01 am

hurshy

10:01 am

Mark Jones

hmm. lol

10:02 am

hurshy

i'm not sure if it's the clonazepam wd because i had stopped being dizzy for a while there.

10:02 am

Scrabbler

It could be. Are you staying hydrated? Any other changes in meds?

10:02 am

hurshy

am trying to stay hydrated yes

hither and y**, pl

10:05 am

hurshy

so how long does hydrocodone take to clear out of your system?

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Could be withdrawal from hydro.

10:05 am

Mark Jones

Ok, i am done for now. This is a bad grid.BBL

10:05 am

LeslieAnn

bye mark

10:06 am

hurshy

a very bad grid

10:07 am

Scrabbler

Halflife = 3.8 hrs (No, I didn't know that; I looked it up.) and it takes about 4-5 halflives to be gone. As you were on med for 10 days or so your body may need time to adjust.

10:08 am

hurshy

also i read on wiki this morning that benzodiazapenes shouldn't be taken with hydrocodone so i guess it's good i stopped?!

10:08 am

hurshy

they had the clon on my list of meds, why didn't they say anything?

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Both cause respiratory and neuro depression.

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Lack of conscientiousness.

10:09 am

hurshy

that's a funny side effect.

10:10 am

Scrabbler

Haha, that was what the MD/pharmacist lacked.

10:10 am

LeslieAnn

ah, i was about to say, not so funny for your family and friends, hursh

10:10 am

hurshy

ohhhh :)

10:12 am

hurshy

well given that the nurse in the recovery room offered me a muffin when the doctor had told me liquid diet for 48 hours i guess i'm not surprised.

10:12 am

hurshy

i thought tonsillectomies were pretty routine, shouldn't the nurses KNOW you can't have a muffin?

10:17 am

there is, but it has almost no effect on the rest of us, at least regarding our knowledge of the alphabet and how it applies to online word games LOL

1:17 pm

MollyL

There may be more Jewish people in the US than in the UK, but that doesn't mean that most of us are familiar with the Hebrew alphabet. I only know some of it due to word games.

1:17 pm

the only reason i know the whole greek alphabet is from math

Well, the fun words I just used are more slangy. Mensch means "good fellow" or "good natured" I believe. Klutz is uncoordinated or clumsy. Schlep is to slog or travel unwillingly.

1:23 pm

Glantarell

Schmuck and putz are not flattering. Kind of like "asshole" and "idiot", respectively.

1:24 pm

kibbitz is either to chat or to look over a bridge player's shoulder & tell her/him what to bid

1:24 pm

Verklempt (and various similar spellings) can be either not feeling well or agitated.

1:37 pm

28 left, bbl to finish - happy babbling

1:38 pm

MollyL

For instance, the movie "Fiddler On The Roof" came out in 1971 and contains many of the Yiddish phrases mentioned here.

1:43 pm

sammysmom

true molly, but i had led a sheltered life until i was 18..lol and was amazed at the idioms i found in the american language when i moved westward and met people from all over this country and other countries

1:47 pm

MollyL

Most of what I know about cultures and things that are not of my lived experience is from books and movies. I always assume that people who play this game are avid readers (most word lovers are) so it always surprises me when people claim to be unfamiliar with a whole block of what I consider common ethnic terms. Just my take on it.

Hi JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:18 pm

Minveryork

As I sat here in my seat id4/7 waiting for babblers to ask for clues, I wrote a story of clues. So here it is. I fell ma5/18 in love w/husband several years ago. Our relationship was so el 7/36 at the beginning. He told me I was the prettiest la4/7 he had ever been with.I told husband that I loved the fact that he was a neat person and not a slob and we'd never ever need a ma 4/6. Then we got married. He he4/6 my hands and sa 4/5 that he would love me forever.We went sa4/4ing on a cruise ship for our honeymoon. However,sa5/16 the bliss and happiness ha4/5ed a couple years after we got married. It is sort of ir6/21 that wh4/9 made me fall in love w/him is the ma 4/5 reason why I don't love my husband anymore. I hate to say it,but I have had ma5/14 mood swings since our problems started. I've also become an alcoholic and I drink gin&to 6/21 every single day. I am to 4/4 over leaving him. I wish I could just wave a magic wa4/9 & then things would go back to how they used to be when we were happy Da4/6! Hubby is stomping around the house being no 5/14 which means he wa 4/8s laptop. We have to ro 4/4 te turns on the computer.I'm going to go change my ic4/5 for tomorrow.Then I'm going to get into my co4/7 bed and watch the film The So 6/21 Network. I hope you have obta4/4ed some more words with this story of clues.Goodnight babblers.I will see you later.

oh monkey, I was at the MLA convention in Seattle - I am half sad that I didn't just go as a full participant the whole time... but to be honest if I had I wouldn't have had the great three days of work this past week! It was so re-invigorating as a teacher, and as a student. AND I met two wonderful authors -- bought book from one and will order the books from the other as soon as he tells me where I can get them in the states (he's from Scotland). and Mother was there, and we met my dear, "separated at birth but never met in person - twin" who I have known online for over twelve years.

9:18 pm

I'm interested to hear what you had at the vegan place, stid

9:19 pm

stidmama

and the author whose books I want to get is John Aberdein, from Orkney. He wrote Amande's Bed and Strip the Willow, both of which looked really good but there weren't any extra copies at the booth.

9:19 pm

Wow! You have a twin sister that you just met? Cool!

Book Doctor Gwen

stid, i checked the title and no, not listed, but they only list used books (some bookstores handle both new nd used, but only list used) which is why you might be able to order it through them. However, I can't swear that they handle new books also. hope that makes sense
