small examples: 1) just now, I weas just getting out of my bath when Ruby started barking furiously because someone rang the bell and he wouldn't answer it; I guess he expected me to go to the gate in a towel (it's about 32F), 2) yesterday morning, I awakened at 6:45 to what sounded like someone chopping wood in the entry; he was banging a jar of jam on the floor trying to get the lid off..
3:21 am
grannyrose
and he is how old?
3:22 am
grannyrose
hmmm, has he had his renal function blood tests lately?
3:23 am
rubyfoo
I think it's dementia setting in but I'll call his MD on Monday and ask about that
3:23 am
rubyfoo
why renal function?
3:24 am
grannyrose
good idea, if his urea and electrolytes are out of kilter, can cause all sorts of weird things and behaviour.
3:24 am
rubyfoo
he has no other symptoms, actually quite active
3:25 am
grannyrose
does he still have his short-term memory function?
3:25 am
rubyfoo
no, only talks about things from many years ago and calls me a liar if he doesn't remember something I told him two days ago
3:25 am
rubyfoo
to me, it looks like "classic" dementia
3:26 am
grannyrose
ahhhhh, well that could be early dementia, or alzheimer's. some respond to an intensive then maintenance dose of vitamin b12
3:28 am
rubyfoo
the problem, of course, is that he won't talk about any of it. And, because he is charming with his doctor, my words go unheard
3:29 am
grannyrose
ok, ruby, i think you need to make an appointment with HIS doctor, and tell him lioke it is.
3:29 am
grannyrose
"like"
3:30 am
rubyfoo
his doctor is very nice and even makes house calls, but isn't the sharpest blade in the drawer and he won't go to another
3:33 am
rubyfoo
forgive me for leaning on you this AM, but it's pretty bad
3:33 am
grannyrose
ruby, can you please try to be very firm with HIS doctor? tell him what hubby does...if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor, and he/she will know what to do.
3:34 am
grannyrose
ruby, lean, my dear, lean...very broad shoulders
3:34 am
rubyfoo
actually, that might work as I'm due for a check-up -- haven't had blood work in several years
3:34 am
rubyfoo
and my doc is in the same office as his
3:35 am
grannyrose
meant to add, just you go to HIS doctor, not hubby at the same time
3:35 am
rubyfoo
I realize that, because last time we were there together, although I had to do all the interpreting, I couldn't get the doctor alone (even with head signals, etc.)
3:35 am
grannyrose
ahhh, all the better. these docs do talk amongst themselves you know.
3:36 am
rubyfoo
they probably think I'm nuts plus pushy!
3:37 am
grannyrose
no, ruby. i think it's coming through loud and clear that you are concerned with your husband's welfare
3:43 am
rubyfoo
I used to complain about his nastiness, but I think it's part of the same syndrome....
3:45 am
grannyrose
ruby, just sent you an email. did it get through?
3:45 am
rubyfoo
I'll go and check
3:46 am
grannyrose
well if his electrolytes are not right, that can effect the way he thinks and acts
3:47 am
rubyfoo
it didn't arrive yet, but thank you. For once, I was able to open two windows and you're not "neil" are you? LOL
3:50 am
grannyrose
no, ruby...i also got neil's email. quite funny. when you do get it(the email) please just reply and then my computer will recognise you as a friend.

with the kind of weather we have around here, you must be willing to unhang and rehang the laudry a couple of times a day if you want to hang it out to dry. Since I cannot stand long, that is no option. So indoors it is... mostly.

you are right! How smart.

I didn't see anyone ask for the clue before it was given, that's why I was confused

hmmm ... the one on the bottom left? looks to me like a pile of things that would make a good fire starter
7:53 am
sprite
there are 8 from that tile
7:53 am
MollyL
Peri asked for the lone T, I thought
7:54 am
sprite
the lone T and a next to it... I didn't get the second half of the question.
7:54 am
welki
<-- can never tell which words come from which letters (and should know better than to try)
7:54 am
sprite
words always come from the first tile they can possibly be made from, counting upper left, row by row, to bottom right.
7:54 am
MollyL
Maybe she meant the lone I next to it
7:55 am
sprite
yes that is likely. Don't have that one yet.
7:55 am
welki
makes sense in theory, sprite - but my eyes/brain don't make the connection *lol*
7:55 am
sprite
lol I am often wrong even knowing the rules, welki!
7:56 am
MollyL
The lone I word is dumb
7:57 am
sprite
ok you made me type idiot. Now I FEEL dumb.
7:57 am
MollyL
No, I meant it's a dumb word.
8:01 am
sprite
got it. a2z to the rescue.
Peri: it is an in7/36. To point at something = to in****te. Insert a vowel just before the last letter.
8:03 am
sprite
it means: plural to a postal marking used rather than a stamp or a regular cancellation on each item in a large shipment of prepaid mail. A token.

Is there any male who lets him go in the bathroom with them?
9:24 am
doseffing
... (1) Wait until he's three ... ... (2) Have his father train him ... (3) If they read to him (which they should be doing anyways) turn the bathroom into a mini reading room (this also has the advantage that it slows him down so that he does it completely and you don't have to do it five minutes later ... (4) do it everytime before he goes out ... automatically whether he needs to or not
9:25 am
MollyL
I agree that 2 and 1/2 is early to potty train, especially a boy.
9:26 am
Scrabbler
Good start with underpants. Pullups delay training--it's not inconvenient to make a mess. Bring him to the potty every 60-90 minutes (before he dribbles). If he has an accident he needs to feel the inconvenience. It's cheaper to clean carpeting than to keep buying diapers.
9:27 am
doseffing
... I just got it from our pediatrician when we were panicking at 2 and 1/2 because daughter decided she didn't want to use the toilet anymore ... ... His comment was if you don't do it ... she'll train herself at four ... ... ...
9:27 am
Scrabbler
Earlier is easier, just like with a puppy. I see many kids trained at 21-24 months.
9:29 am

trauchle trauchle trauchle. that's what it is dammit!!
9:29 am
doseffing
... oh yeah ... once that worked with a three year old resistant boy over a single weekend ... ... have a younger kid who is trained or partially trained come over and congratulate that kid on how "big adn brave" they are ... ... worked for my brother-in-law ... even if my kid decided to not use the toilet anymore after that weeked
9:29 am
hego
Sorry, had to get yesterday's bad word out of my system. Hi All
9:30 am
Scrabbler
And kids are less resistant when younger. As they get older they become more resistant. It will end up working someday.
9:31 am
hego
Everybody gets potty trained eventually.
9:31 am
Scrabbler
Yes, it took me 20 minutes to figure out the clues for that word yesterday, hego.
9:32 am
hego
It was the word of the day for sure
9:32 am

Yes, hego, but the diaper companies are richer than ever. I see too many 3.5 and 4 yr olds with no interest at all.

Scrabbler
Not I, Focal.
9:40 am
MollyL
Some kids are ready at 2 and 1/2 some are not ready until almost 4. I think the worst thing you can do is push it on a kid who isn't ready. They all end up trained eventually.
9:41 am
Focal
Thanks Scrabbler

My other granddaughter [not the sibling of the trainee] was well on her way to 4 with no interest. She started pre school and they wouldn't let her wear pull ups. Put underpants on first, then diaper and she got it right away

Focal
I am half following this thread about potty training, and I remember getting so stressed about my son (boys are trickier to train than girls) that a pal of mine - tired of listening to me obviously - said "Ah leave him... his wife will train him!". I got the point, stopped stressing, and he got the hang of it no prob when he was 3.
9:43 am
littlebit
yeah, i tried pushing it on my younger one...didn't go so well. i ended up waiting for a while, worked out better then.

Yes, one of the many words allowed in Babble with no definition given, which bugs the crap out of me.

The rodent word not the wombs word.

I would like to share that it is possible to lose 15 pounds with what you might consider prodigious amounts of peanut butter in your diet.

Holy shit, ex and his guy?
11:05 am
Trifioso
okay -- mr. hate, and my husband=in=law. at outback steakhouse, with the kids. They invited me, as a sort of "good luck at college primo" "good luck in Oz" dinner for secondo. And Tertiare was BEGGING me to go, so I did. And I did NOT pay.
11:05 am
MollyL
*Now knows why I felt the earth shudder last night*
11:05 am
hego
good for you!
11:06 am
car.eeyore
Sorry ....was on the phone with our father.
11:06 am
hego
how was it?
11:06 am
MollyL
I thought the boy already went off to college.
11:06 am
car.eeyore
I knew you were having dinner with him...you told me!!!
11:06 am
Trifioso
It was SO WEIRD. They are so....couple-y. Ordering the same sort of thing, chattering over the menu, sharing their salad....plus, my h-i-l referred to Mr. Hate as "Robby" which about made me want to spit up.
11:07 am
Trifioso
he did molly, he was on break for christmas, and is going back tomorrow.
11:07 am
car.eeyore
Gak! Robby!
11:08 am
MollyL
Sharing salad...Robby...barrrfffff!
11:08 am
Trifioso
the hil never offered any unique, novel conversation, and never asked me anything. he just sat there, looking at his phone, and at least once did not respond to direct questions, from me or anyone. I ended up sitting directly across from tertiare, who was sitting next to her dad, (in a BOOTH - dread!) so I was almost sitting right across from Mr. Hate, which was SO ODD....
11:09 am
hego
Wish I could stay and here more. Bye now.
11:09 am

Bye Hego!

Stats please for the single i on the bottom?
11:10 am

New love interest sounds very childish Trif.
11:10 am
Trifioso
Mr. Hate shared a story about something Andrew H, a longtime friend, had done over in Ireland, and THEN the HIL popped in with "Oh, I can just picture Andrew doing that!" and I wanted to laugh. He has met him, what, once? could it actually be that my big, long, twenty year history with his husband is, gasp, THREATENING to the hil?
11:11 am
car.eeyore
Now why was tertiare sitting next to Mr. Hate? I thought she was pissed at him.
11:12 am
Trifioso
because she was a little angel baby last night, and was making sure I wouldn't have to sit next to him. How sweet was that? I don't need her to protect me, of course, but at least she was willing to acknowledge that this was going to be awkward for me, which is more than the other two did
11:13 am

I'm almost done with the puzzle. Now I'll be an ai5/12 and ai 4/5 you with a story to help gu5/18 my de 4/5 Babble friends through grid. During my sophomore ye 4/6 in high school,my younger sister had a bad id4/5 She really wanted to dig up di 4/5 on me. She wanted to embarass me at school so she ra 6/24 my bedroom and stole my ti4/6 little di 5/16 and read it. She read all the secrets I had ai 5/12 in it.I wrote about a boy I was in love with and would ga 4/11 at all the time. I ga5/26 at him so much in the hallway,I was always ta 5/16 for my next class. My sister went to school and told him I was in love with him. This ir4/5 me so much that I ran home with te4/4 in my eyes. Dr4/5! Hubby has a di 4/5 need to use this computer. I better give it to him before he becomes ir5/10. I hope this story has gu 6/33 you to find some more words. I am going to go da4/6 my dog, Jack, as I watch a Catherine Ze 4/9-Jones movie. I did not ed4/5 this story, so there might be some mistakes. I will be back later to finish.
5:02 pm
Picklesny

5:05 pm
Dorens

Book Doctor Gwen
ridley scott made alien, not aliens
5:16 pm

5:16 pm

5:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
titanic: yet another great david warner movie LOL
5:20 pm
LisaG
I didnt like titanic. I thought it was going to have more of a history pull, not so much of a love story, running through the ship for three hours...
5:20 pm
LisaG
I thought it was boring.
5:21 pm
Soodle
Ah.. this is the centenary year for the Titanic. So there will be loads of stuff about it
5:21 pm
cosdem
syfy had a movie called "Titanic 2" everyone thought it was a sequel. it turned out to be about a boat called Titanic 2 and its first voyage was the same day the first titanic left... and it also sunk lol
5:21 pm
Dorens
one of my favorite old movies was about the titanic... don't remember the title, but i was a kid watching it on tv and loved it. maybe that's one reason why the new one disturbed me so much
5:21 pm
Soodle
Not exactly a cliffhanger, then, Cos?
5:22 pm
cosdem
nope lol. it was awful.
5:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
probably "a night to remember" -- ?
5:22 pm
Dorens
? i do remember an affair to remember.. that was an amazing classic
5:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
scifi (syfy) has made a lot of original pix and they have all been pretty bad, sorry !
5:23 pm
Soodle
Dorens, there was a much earlier film... where they all sang 'Nearer My God To Thee' as the ship sank...
5:23 pm
cosdem
syfy has made some good originals.. Neverland, Alice and Tin Man to name a few but I think thats all they made that were good :)
5:23 pm
Shirlockc
great film!
5:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
"a night to remember" b/w movie from the 1950s, and yes, they sang nearer my god to thee, based on what survivors said, a true moment
5:23 pm
Soodle
Dorens, is An Affair To Remember' the one where the leading lady ends up in a wheel chair?
5:24 pm
Shirlockc
wish sci fi bought firefly
5:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and yes, the ship's architect went down with the ship, another true moment
5:24 pm
cosdem
didnt the ship's architect escape in the leo movie?
5:25 pm
Dorens
yes soodle. the precursor to sleepless in seattle
5:25 pm
Picklesny
i enjoyed the scifi version of Being human but not as good as the British one
5:25 pm
Shirlockc
i think that was the owner, who did escape
5:25 pm
cosdem
season 2 of being human starts Monday
5:25 pm
Dorens
you must be right bdg
5:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the ship's owner is the one who snuck onto t lifeboat wearing a dress, or perhaps not wearing a dress, but still, he got on a lifeboat, true
5:26 pm
cosdem
in + what you roll in craps minus the e + two vowels
5:26 pm
Picklesny
whohoo love being human!
5:26 pm
cosdem
Merlin is also good.
5:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
ah, TY cos, that one's been drivin' me nutsoid
5:27 pm
Shirlockc
the ship's owner was never the same after, basically had to live his life in hiding
5:28 pm
Shirlockc
thx cos for the in7, finally got it
5:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
thanks to the titanic diaster, they have some decent safety regs, like, hey, how about having enough lifeboats for everyone, and stuff
5:29 pm
Shirlockc
now all they have to worry about is panic
5:30 pm
Soodle
<Self confessed romantic. Loved ''A night to remember, An Affair to Remember' (which I barely remembered) and Titanic. Pass me the tissues, please...
5:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we should teach our children how not to panic. start 'em real early. not after they get driver's licenses.
5:31 pm

i dont watch chick flicks anymore because it always has either julia roberts or sandra bullock in it.

5:38 pm

I didn't watch Titanic when it first came out. I did see it later though. It really doesn't have as much to do with the ship sinking as it does with the love story.
5:39 pm
Dorens

actually "of or containing gold in the trivalent state."
5:57 pm
stidmama
great clue, doren!

jes, what kind of lab?
10:50 pm
jesdraggon
meth lab?
10:50 pm
jesdraggon
heheh. he's yellow.
10:50 pm
stidmama
if I get this job...
10:50 pm
stidmama
mellow yellow? ;-)
10:51 pm
jesdraggon
he's pretty excited about life, actually--came bouncing around the clinic to say hi to everyone new, broken leg flopping along behind him
10:51 pm
jesdraggon
he may be a bit friendlier than he is bright...
10:51 pm
stidmama
actually I know I can't get another animal until I know if the job will be "continuing" past the end of the year (if I get the job at all).
10:51 pm
stidmama
LOL you just described 80% of labs, jes!
10:52 pm
jesdraggon
my brother took the last yellow lab with a mucked up leg that I had. Now his friends' parents say they want the next one like him...
10:52 pm
jesdraggon
so we're trying to arrange for his friends to come meet this one, he may be rehomed right quick :)
10:52 pm
stidmama
oh good! I figured you wouldn't have much trouble placing him.
10:53 pm
jesdraggon
don't worry though, I'm sure I can find you a good one when you are ready!
10:53 pm
stidmama
I am sure you can!
10:53 pm
stidmama
jes, completely trivial question, what cell service provider do you use, and are you happy with it?
10:54 pm
stidmama
We are looking at getting a new provider for our phones when I replace my droid
10:54 pm
jesdraggon
verizon, and pretty happy with it.
10:54 pm
jesdraggon
have had really bad experiences with AT&T.
10:56 pm
stidmama
okay, well AT&T doesn't have service where I am hoping to be hired. Verizon probably does.
10:57 pm
stidmama
Will let Tom know you have had bad experiences with AT&T
10:58 pm
jesdraggon
you know, I used to know how to stitch button holes....
11:00 pm
jesdraggon
and now I don't remember.
11:00 pm
stidmama
it's like a teensy blanket stitch (by hand). or are you using a machine?
11:00 pm
jesdraggon
which makes it difficult to do.
11:02 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, that's what the internet said too...entertainingly, that is also a surgical stitch, but we call it a forward interlocking :)
11:02 pm
jesdraggon
guess "blanket stitch" didn't seem appropriate when closing up lacerations?
11:14 pm
stidmama
LOL true. So you make little straight parallel lines a little bigger than the button (running stitch), and then do the blanket stitch over top of those.
11:14 pm
stidmama
how many buttonholes are you fixin' to make?
11:15 pm
jesdraggon
Just 2
11:15 pm
jesdraggon
I already did one, but I basically just embroidered around it.
11:16 pm
jesdraggon
I'm making a jean jacket for Jack. I'm leaving the edges sort of unfinished to fray a little, and embroidering about a quarter inch in, to stop the fray.

Hi stid -read back on the phone - go with vVerizon - AT&T sucks big time!
11:21 pm
