jilli, I'm a lifelong Dem but may jump ship to vote for Huntsman in the primary. I'm of the mind that the Republican Party needs to be changed more than it needs to be fought.

Huntsman is a great guy. I might caucus for him here in February

* groan * came home early from work...sinus pain is unbelievable...and i usually have a high pain tolerance level.
2:59 am
flosey
oh granny, sinus pain is very nasty
3:00 am
grannyrose
have already taken tynelol( or it's equivalent) and nurofen...have resorted to endone.
3:01 am
flosey
not familiar with those granny, but may be called something else here
3:01 am
grannyrose
endone...synthetic morphine
3:02 am
flosey
wow, that is pretty heavy stuff
3:02 am
flosey
I take Zopiclone for sleep, think it's probably pretty mild
3:03 am
grannyrose
flosey, let's you know how bad this is...don't usually go for the endone....but felt like my face was full of concrete....guess my doctor is in for a visit
3:04 am
flosey
ah, you poor dear, that is really awful
3:05 am
flosey
I use to have sinus problem but cut out milk - except for tea and poridge, and cream in coffee
3:05 am
grannyrose
lol, talk about glow in the dark....feel like my face is on fire
3:06 am
grannyrose
noted, flosey...i don't have much in the way of dairy products....opt for calcium tabs instead
3:06 am
flosey
ah good substitute
3:08 am
grannyrose

Granny, sorry for interupting.....I have the same sinus thing and it is HELL. There are days when I can barely get out of bed.....but Hon, if you haven't taken morphine before, please be very careful.....don't try to force y ourself to do anything. Please just rest and drink as much as you can. I will pray (send) energy to you. Just be open for the energy. I'm going to wind down now, it's almost 4:30AM here. Bless you!

3:31 am

Everytime I see you Rose it is something else! silly girl!
3:32 am
grannyrose
what can i say???not getting any younger here...maybe after the cruise....really need some down time
3:32 am
sprite
poor rose :( Yes, if it has been a long time ago, and your doctor advices it, take the antibiotics. Better to have no troubles in the sinuses, it eats away your energy even faster than antibiotics.
3:32 am
lynxxx
Actually Rose reminds me to ring my brother. Like Rose he is full of health issues - must be something in the water up there. BBS
3:33 am
sprite
but he has a sister like you, lyn... he is a lucky man
3:33 am
grannyrose
lyn, sometimes i wonder why go on? but then i look at the grandkiddies, and see why
3:33 am
rubyfoo
don't say that granny! we need you in here, too!!!!
3:34 am
sprite
*grabs rose lovingly but firmly by the shoulders*
And you go on, because of us... and because life is full of blessings if only we keep looking for them... and because I LUV you.
3:35 am
sprite
and also important reason: because I don't give up either. Hah!
3:35 am
grannyrose
thanx ruby.... with all my health issues, i get quite depressed, i do try to look positively at life. i think i need a really big cleansing cry.
3:36 am

Here, you. Cry yourself out. I'll join you. And after that, we make ourselves a huge pot of tea and get noisily drunk.
3:37 am
rubyfoo
sprite, do you put rum in your tea? (said sternly)
3:37 am
flosey
hmmm, what are you putting in that tea sprite?
3:37 am
rubyfoo
snap, flosey
3:37 am
grannyrose
thanx you all....i need supportive friends like you....since my beautiful friend died 2 1/2 years ago, just feel like it's all too much
3:37 am
sprite
whatever does the trick :D
3:38 am
flosey
great minds ruby
3:40 am
sprite
I really can understand that, rose. Having health issues is maddening and exhausting. To be upbeat you need energy, but you don't have much. And missing a really good friend is extra tough in this situation.
Though it is not the same, we are here for you and we love you to bits. Try not to ask too much of yourself, ok? Be gentle with you.
3:41 am
grannyrose
thanx spritey, your care comes through, loud and clear...as it does from all of you
3:42 am
flosey
ok, back to sleep, goodnight again
3:42 am

that is wonderful. And if you ever want to 'talk', my (new) email is in my profile. *holds arms wide permanently to give you a virtual hug*

PLUS you wonderful babble friends! what a nice way to kick-start this AM
3:46 am
sprite
lol, my son had a nice start of the day too... He doesn't have school today, tomorrow two exams. I told him get up in time and use your day. He slept in. And... at 10 am his girlfriend showed up and kicked him out of bed. Gotta love that girl.
3:48 am
sprite
it is funny. I stopped kicking his butt for stuff like this, because he has got to take responsibility himself. But she kicks his butt even harder :)
3:48 am
rubyfoo
see you later
3:48 am

bye ruby, have a grand day
3:52 am

how was your brother doing, lyn?
4:00 am
lynxxx
OKish...had op last week and wound is infected but seems happier now painkillers and anti-biot's have kicked in. Talking about going back to work next week - idiot! I'll see him tomorrow
4:01 am
sprite
omg he should take some more time, if possible. Infected wounds need rest. Glad you will see him tomorrow.
4:01 am
sprite
.... isn't cavia an english word?
4:02 am
lynxxx
change the last vwl to get a guinea pig - otherwise not sure
4:03 am
sprite
yeah I meant the guinea pig. Guess it is just spelled differently then. Thank you lyn.
4:03 am
lynxxx
He does have a good wife - unfortunately like the rest of our family he is pretty pigheaded
4:03 am
sprite
pigheaded is usually a good thing... but not with illnesses that need rest ;(
4:07 am
lynxxx
the silly boy has not been to a doctor for about 40 years - kid you not. In the last 4 months: heart attack and 2 stents put in, diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic, and had gall bladder taken out last week (with hernia repair as well). And he still persists in being silly and stubborn.
4:12 am
sprite
oh dear... that is not good. Lack of maintenance, I'd say :( Hope you can all make him see he needs to take care of himself better.
4:15 am
lynxxx
what a cute phrase - I shall use it on him tomorrow!
4:16 am
lynxxx
and how have you been Sprite?
4:18 am
sprite
not too bad. Battled a bit with insomnia, but am trying to break the cycle with sleeping pills. Three nights of great sleep! And as of tonight, I will try without pills again.
4:23 am
lynxxx
good luck with that - none of us operate too well without enough sleep
4:25 am
sprite
no, at first it was ok, but over time things started to degenerate, grin.

( can you get catmint/nip tea???)
4:26 am
carleekat
hi there lynxxx
4:27 am
sprite
not sure, actually. Tea made of catmint or catnip? Let me see.
4:27 am
carleekat
it has the opposite effect on humans than it does for cats...makes you sleeeeeeeeeepppppppyyyyyyyyyy
4:28 am
sprite
I think I can get catnip, yes. And to make a tea of it should be simple. Great idea! Thanks.
4:30 am
carleekat
add a bit of reg mint if you are making it from scratch... steep it in a closed vessel be it the mug ( should only need 1 mug/ cup before bed) so put a saucer over the top to keep the essential oils inside the tea
4:33 am
sprite
great, am copying it now.
4:34 am
carleekat
i woke up too early to go to school..couldnt sleep anymore...first stop add/drop to change my schedule...again
4:35 am

nepata cataria is the official name, I see. There are many kinds. This seems to be the one I need.
4:35 am

lots of changes?
4:36 am

the stones you throw for gambling, the ones with the dots on it... I thought di4 was already a plural?
4:54 am

You are correct - I guess another instance where correct English isn't used
4:55 am

thanks! Will look it up, but it is good to know I am not totally mistaken.

The di5/14 isn't so much a plural as a verb form, as in to di4/6 with death.
4:58 am
MollyL
di4 is plural. The addition of the s refers to finely chopping something.
4:58 am

ah! Thank you Haz! I was googling and found pretty angry people asking why other clung to the 'archaic' singular form etc... Funny that answering 'because they are correct' doesn't make them feel any mellower.

MollyL
Sue, any chance you can reschedule that meeting? Staying home would do you some good and your colleague would probably appreciate not catching whatever you have.
8:20 am
witchy
If you gave the colleague the whiskey as a preventative measure Sue it could make the meeting better
8:21 am
uusue2
probably not, molly, he and I are teaching a course together that starts next week; he's busy Tuesday and Thursday and I'm busy the rest of the week

Aloyisius
glad that is working out well for you, bichon
9:36 am
Aloyisius
aw, sorry rbud
9:36 am
rbud

9:36 am
bichon
Our Biscuit lost his hearing first.
9:37 am
rbud
she spent 10 minutes barking at a full black trash bag in the driveway the other day, sure it was some creature sneaking up, lol!
9:37 am
Aloyisius
I also miss having ears and nose on guard at night
9:37 am
Aloyisius
.. and laughing at his antics
9:37 am
bichon
I love it that they start sleeping around our feet and end up around our necks
9:38 am
Aloyisius
lol, bichon.. pillow hogs!
9:39 am
bichon
sometimes I wonder who owns whom
9:39 am

rbud
hi, Judi! :)
9:48 am
Aloyisius

9:48 am
Judi
Afraid to ask... What happened to your dog, Haz?
9:48 am
Aloyisius
where have I been?
9:48 am
Haz1558
Judi, we had to have Spangle put to sleep towards the end of November. She had developed kidney failure, unfortunately.
9:49 am
rbud

9:49 am

9:49 am
Aloyisius

Oh. So sad. Life without "the glittery one" must be very difficult. We lost our 10 year old cat to the same thing back in April.

9:52 am
Aloyisius

10:49 am
MollyL
Never said it's the only one I have a problem with
10:51 am
rbud
having listed, I now have a problem with several, myself, among them di 6/24, never heard of it, meanwhile the same word only starting with "die" isn't legit, sigh...
10:51 am
rbud
perhaps it's two words? didn't think so
10:52 am
marpocky
what would you propose your di7 means?
10:53 am
marpocky
the di6 is far more plausible to me as a real word
10:54 am
rbud
ah, yes, I see it is two words, but I know I've seen it as one on ebay and other places.
10:54 am
marpocky
hyphenated at least
10:55 am
rbud
certainly a lot of google entries have it as one word, lol
10:55 am
Aaronitor

10:55 am
marpocky
ah yes, the general public. great purveyors of proper english, lol
10:56 am

Hi everyone. Back for a few words before lunch
11:17 am
Ouwachita
the de8 is another name for a dead person
11:17 am
bichon

11:18 am
Ouwachita

11:18 am
bichon

bichon

11:20 am
Ouwachita

11:20 am
bichon

11:21 am
Ouwachita
it is between the corpse and the windshield cleaning
11:21 am
bichon
sounds funny
11:21 am
Ouwachita
I dont usually clean my windshield with a corpse
11:22 am
bichon
Okay, it's trickery, a ruse
11:22 am
Deeha
Thats lucky they can put you in prison for that
11:23 am
Ouwachita

MollyL
I'm bouncing back and forth between a few things.
11:57 am
Nef

Sounds like an Irish person having a light bulb moment
12:05 pm
Nef
I was trying to type in a thought and mis-spelled it
12:05 pm
periwinkle

12:06 pm
Nef
as I said, it was my monkeys who found it; and Molly, I liked your clue (I couldn't think of one myself)

I've been following the bulletins.
12:23 pm

Glad to hear you're a bit better Hurshy
12:23 pm
Scrabbler
Was the issue more fatigue or pain, Hurshy?
12:23 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Haz
12:24 pm
hurshy
but i got an awful lot done in 4 hours!
12:24 pm

12:31 pm
Nef
hi Scrabs and bichon and Haz. How are you all today? (Just wandered back in again; I may get nothing done today becauseI'm playing on the computer and trying to set things up again
12:31 pm
Haz1558
And did no-one mention te8 or do you already have it?
12:32 pm
hurshy
i have it
12:32 pm
Haz1558
Hello, Nef.
12:33 pm
Haz1558
an8/45 - if Hans Christian were online, here's where he might be found.
12:34 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome.
12:34 pm
Nef
what's the matter, hurshy? are you not well? (do I already know?
12:34 pm
hurshy
i had my tonsils out
12:35 pm
Nef
OH! I knew that! I just forgot it! (I have aa leaky brain today; all my passwords need resetting too)
12:36 pm
MollyL
Cute clue Haz. *Now singing soundtrack from the movie "Hans Christian Anderson" *
12:36 pm
Nef
how's the eating going?
12:36 pm
hurshy
today is my first day officially not on a soft food diet. i had some crusty-ish bread, no probs.
12:40 pm
Nef
Freat news! Glad it went well! (and that's quite the test too!)
12:41 pm
Nef
that was Great news; I'd first put it in the wrong box and didn't see the typo
12:41 pm
hurshy
i figured it out :)
12:42 pm
Nef
good. I'm just having trouble today with "stuff"
12:43 pm
Haz1558
Sorry, just back from phone call. Glad you liked the clue, Molly.
12:45 pm
Nef
trying to download FireFox and I get a big circle with a line through it over the logo (as in a no smoking sign); I can't figure out why that's happening; but it won't open or download; so guess it's telling me the truth!
12:47 pm
MollyL
That sounds very odd Nef. I would contact Firefox, perhaps they can help you.
12:48 pm
Haz1558
Husband home, time to head to the kitchen. Bye for now!
12:51 pm
Nef
well, Molly; I just seem to be having one of those days/weeks. I'd locked my self out of my email and several other sites (health care sites, private nurse board, etc.); and need to download several other things like FLash, etc. I'll get there yet. At least I can play here and Words with Friends on FB; so I'm sort of a happy camper for now
12:51 pm
Nef
bye Haz! HAGD!
12:53 pm
Nef
some of this is my fault; some of it happened when the upgrade disc got messed up; some of it may have happened when my external hard drive fell and it now has a loose connection wire. My son fixed what were the biggest problems; I just am finding small irritations right now
12:56 pm
Nef
and also getting used to the upgraded operating system is always fun too. (wondering where things went and if they are in different spots now)
12:57 pm
MollyL
What did you upgrade to? If you do a Google search like "Where is Add/Delete programs in Vista?" You will get some help finding what has changed.
1:00 pm
Nef
I'm on a Mac, Molly. It used to be so simple; but never try to do these things with a toddler around and wanting to be on the "puter" at the same time
1:01 pm
Nef
ANd now I need to fix lunch; DH is not up to fixing food these days
1:25 pm
Nef

Howdy there Soodle - good to see the Irish flag flying!

Soodle
Irish flag, and guinness truck in my pic. All boxes ticked!
2:28 pm
Focal
A model of Irish womanhood. Well done.
2:29 pm

Soodle
Its not even in the grid, Kap....
2:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No word, don't worry.
2:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah- well- I'd be in trouble if it HAD been.
2:34 pm
Soodle
How are you getting on with the grid, Focal? Have you been banished to the PB yet?
2:34 pm
Focal
I dont' understand a lot of the acronyms, must get my act (and credit card) together and go pro. . .
2:34 pm
lynxxx
end that with whats on the beach Kap
2:35 pm
Focal
What's the PB?
2:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Now THAT is a question!
2:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
end what with what's on the beach?
2:36 pm
lynxxx
aPenalty Box - a fictitious place filled with either home-made treats or cabana boys
2:36 pm
Focal
Kap, you're so enigmatic!
2:36 pm
Soodle
If you inadvertantly put a word from the grid into the chatlog, you get banished to the Penalty Box (PB). But its not too bad in there, Molly usually puts goodies in, and there are resident Cabana Boys to massage you and pamper you.
2:36 pm
Focal
I'll take the cabana boys please Lynn!
2:37 pm
Focal
Oooh! I had a bad run of putting words in the chat box earlier, but people were understanding - think my rookie status helps!
2:37 pm
SeaSpray
I could use a Cabana Boy today
2:38 pm
HarryHood
hi all! just got nbt, but only 1/3 of the way there...
2:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Only up to a point, and then we're tough.
2:38 pm
HarryHood
ack sorry ;()
2:38 pm
Soodle
I don't think a day goes by that I couldn't do with a Cabana Boy Sea.
2:38 pm
HarryHood
I'll trek over there as well
2:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can't figure out what I said
2:38 pm
lynxxx
Harry obviously would like a cabana boy too
2:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Off with his head!
2:39 pm
HarryHood
heh...if the cabana boy will watch my kids for awhile, I'm game
2:39 pm
HarryHood
I don't like massages much though - from either gender
2:39 pm
lynxxx
Your attempted word @2.31 Kap
2:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I'll take two massages, please.
2:39 pm
SeaSpray
a tall tropical drink would be nice
2:40 pm
Soodle
Focal.... nbt = no blank tiles. You have got at least one word from each of the tiles. Nbs - no blank stats.... you get the picture!
2:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, but putting sa4 on it???
2:41 pm
Focal
ok OK OK ! So all I need for NBT is a lead on the second A in row 4. And I already achieved NBS without even realising it. Doh!
2:41 pm
lynxxx
yep, same 1st 3 letters
2:41 pm
Soodle
Top card, focal, past tense.
2:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh.
2:42 pm
LeslieAnn

2:42 pm
Soodle
Doh... wrong A
2:43 pm
Soodle
OK.. plural of past tense of 'to eat'.. weird clue, I know.
2:48 pm
Focal
Woohoo NBT!!!!
2:48 pm
Focal
Thanks Soodle!
2:49 pm
Soodle
Yay!! That clue I gave is for what is known as a Babblet... a frequently occuring weird word. Other babblets are etui, etna, naoi, etc etc..
2:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yay- ABFAB!
2:51 pm

2:54 pm
Soodle
Molly!!! I am 'helping', not lecturing! And in case you missed my earllier post, Focal and I sat together in the same classroom in the recent (!) past!
2:54 pm
MollyL
Focal, there really aren't any explanation for the acronyms. They are just shorthand. I don't use them myself, as they bug me. hagd...have a good day...brb...be right back...biab...back in a bit
2:55 pm
MollyL
Ah yes, errant Irish school girls. : )
2:55 pm
HarryHood
isn't stevia a natural sweetener?
2:55 pm
Focal
It's a local dialect here, and I'm sure I will get accustomed to it. .
2:56 pm
MollyL
Yes Harry but Enable doesn't recognize it.
2:56 pm
LeslieAnn
proper noun
2:56 pm
HarryHood
it's not the species name?
2:57 pm
LeslieAnn
i don't think so
2:57 pm
HarryHood
aah it's the genus
2:57 pm
HarryHood
but I think we use other genii
2:57 pm
HarryHood
oh whatever
2:57 pm
MollyL
Stevia is no more a proper noun than sunflower is
2:58 pm
LeslieAnn
yeah, what molly said. looked it up, i stand corrected :)
2:58 pm
HarryHood

*Makes a hot steamy bowl of Jewish penicillin for Doren*
4:32 pm
Dorens
thanks mol. i actually stopped at the store on the way home from work and bought dill (that's how i like it). but i sure don't feel like making it
4:33 pm
bichon
Do you know there is some truth to the Jewish penicilan thing. The vapors penetrate your nose and make it feel better for a while
4:33 pm
Dorens
debating going to book club tonite... loved the book. City of Thieves by David Benoit and I'd like to participate
4:33 pm
Dorens
yes bichon, but what's the difference between that and hot vapors of tea, or tomato soup for that matter?
4:34 pm
kje
I'm sure the others would appreciate not having you share tonight, dorens
4:34 pm
Dorens
you do have a point there. think of it as altruistic
4:34 pm
bichon
I'm not really sure, but if you believe enough, it might come true
4:35 pm
kje
think i must find a list soon
4:35 pm
bichon
My grandmother told me if I had something in my eye, to hold the eylid down over the bottom one and spit three times. Sure worked every time
4:36 pm
Dorens
i kind of feel that way about the woman who cut my hair on tuesday afternoon sniffin the whole time. less than 36 hours later, that was me
4:36 pm
MollyL
I don't know about book club, but I'm beyond sick and tired of people who come to work when they are sick.
4:37 pm
Dorens
but a cold can last for a week. can't imagine staying out for a little cold... i just stay in my office and keep away from people as much as possible, and wash my hands often
4:38 pm
bichon
That sounds right. And throw your tissues away. You don't know how many people don't [starting with DH]
4:38 pm
Dorens
she kept saying she was at the end of her cold, but i am sure she was still shedding
4:39 pm
MollyL
What else would you do with a tissue besides throw it away?
4:39 pm
Dorens
sorry kj, not there yet
4:39 pm
bichon
I'm done, anyone need a clue?
4:39 pm
bichon
Molly, seems like a simple thing, not too much to ask. But yet, there it sits.
4:40 pm
MollyL
we7 starts like the animal that goes POP in the childrens song and ends like what is on the beach
4:40 pm
bichon
we 7, start out with a thin mammal and add a conjunction
4:40 pm
Dorens
thanks mol.. needed that and never woulda thunk it
4:41 pm
MollyL
*Sigh* we7 is more Middle English.

4:43 pm
Dorens
stiff upper lip guy? stats?
4:44 pm
kje
not a guy... a characteristic
4:45 pm
Dorens
oh, ok. i didn't see that one right away either, but did find it when i listed.
4:45 pm
Dorens
it's just like yesterday, well almost... as soon as you see what you've missed you know it without even looking at the grid
4:46 pm
MollyL
*Stops looking for a butler equivalent in the grid*
