2:41 am

rubyfoo

I am so nervous, need to take a xanax

2:41 am

rubyfoo

2:41 am

grannyrose

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I was about to give monkeys some xanax, too

2:43 am

grannyrose

re8, re + triangle, square, circle, then past tense, then plural for re8 x 2

2:43 am

Kazzer99

2:44 am

grannyrose

rubyfoo

Kazzer99

2:46 am

Rufus was our last red male, he died 8 years ago and Max was his replacement

2:46 am

rubyfoo

2:48 am

Haz1558

st8 - missing m from the onrush of animals, beloved of Western film-makers.

2:49 am

Haz1558

And good morning/evening all.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

hello haz, still trying to find that

2:50 am

Haz1558

The headlong rushes of animals begins with what you put on a letter to pay its way - now take away the m.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

aaah, it needed an s at the end! ty

2:52 am

grannyrose

hey ruby, how about rossi....in honour of valentino rossi.....great motorcyclist

2:52 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, ruby.

2:52 am

3:19 am

Soodle

Rats. I missed Ruby. I take it she is getting a new four-legged friend?

3:21 am

hydra

I just missed her too. Did she find Max?

3:21 am

Soodle

I don't know, Hydra. I haven't been babbling for a few days.

3:22 am

Haz1558

No, Max hasn't been found and she is actively trying to get a puppy.

3:22 am

debjed

it seemed as of yesterday, ruby hadn't found Max. But, I'm not too sure

3:22 am

Soodle

Hi Haz & Deb & Hydra :-)

3:23 am

debjed

Good Morning :)

3:23 am

Haz1558

She's hoping for a 12 week old which will hopefully be ready by 13th March. Brainstorming sessions (or thought showers) have been used to try to come up with a name.

3:23 am

Haz1558

And hello, Soodle and hydra and debjed.

3:23 am

Kazzer99

we had a brainstorming session to think of an italian sounding name that begins with r for her.

3:24 am

Kazzer99

oops sorry has didn't read your post. I am not well and am struggling to sit up let along babble today. I might have to give in and go back to bed

3:24 am

Soodle

Hmm. Then, my suggestion of Paddy (as its close to St Patrick's Day) wouldn't exactly tick many of her boxes..

3:24 am

Haz1558

Poor Kazzer - I've had flu once and don't intend to ever have it again.

3:25 am

Soodle

The dreaded 'flu, Kazz?

3:26 am

Soodle

Me too, Haz. I only ever had flu once. I thought I was going to die.

3:26 am

hydra

Hope you'll be better soon, Kazzer

3:26 am

Kazzer99

well it can't really be flu cos I have had a flu jab which covered most stuff but I feel like I have been run over by a steamroller and my head of full of fluff. this is the 3rd bout of something vile over the last 6 weeks and I had to give in to this one and take a day off.

3:26 am

Haz1558

Husband and I had 'flu over the Millennium - our daughters sat looking at us with disgust and denouncing us for denying them the chance to tell their grandchildren about the rip-roaring time they had while seeing in 2000.

3:27 am

Haz1558

The description 'aches and pains' comes nowhere close to the feeling of agony every time you move.

3:27 am

Jivingjenny0

clue for the 9 please

3:27 am

Soodle

Ha ha, Haz. I remember that flu. It was otherwise know as the Millenium Bug, if I remember correctly.

3:28 am

Haz1558

ca9 - drummed out of the army in disgrace (past tense of someone who gives you money in a bank)

3:28 am

Kazzer99

Jenny was clued earlier - get thrown out of the army - ca

3:28 am

Haz1558

It was grim, Soodle. I remember looking in a mirror and deciding that I could have been a poster girl for the before stage of a miracle medicine for flu.

3:28 am

hydra

That's odd. I typed a message and it vanished! What I said was that the only time I ever got flu was after a flu jab and I have refused to have them ever since.

3:29 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks a lot

3:29 am

hydra

I now take a homeopathic medicine called Triple Flu Defence. 20 drops once a week from October to May.

3:31 am

Haz1558

Have you heard that the British Olympic committee is advising athletes not to shake hands during the games?

3:31 am

Kazzer99

I can't take any stuff other than the tablets I am on - not even supposed to take paracetamol or antibiotics

3:31 am

hydra

Yes. I saw that on the TV news. The Queen wears white gloves. Maybe that's the answer!

3:32 am

Haz1558

A virologist has said it's going over the top and I agree. They're going to look like bad sportsmen if they refuse to shake hands.

3:32 am

hydra

Oh, poor Kazzer. What happens when you get headache? Do you just have to put up with it?

3:32 am

Haz1558

Husband won't touch door handles etc in shops, he pushes them open with his shoulder.

3:32 am

Haz1558

He gets sore shoulders ...

3:33 am

hydra

Well, remember what they used to say, Haz: that we need contact with lots of jolly germs to build up our immune systems. I agree with that.#

3:33 am

Haz1558

Oh, he gets lots of contact with germs!

3:33 am

Kazzer99

i usually have to grin and bear it - got some stuff for migraines though which works a treat

3:34 am

Soodle

'Jolly germs' conjuring up all sorts of images in my head.....

3:34 am

hydra

I used to get really bad migraines but since the menopause they've almost stopped. Havent had one in 5 years (she says, tempting fate!).

3:35 am

Kazzer99

I think the events of the last 4 or 5 months have left me a bit low. I will start on the oranges and other good fruit to build up my defences again

3:35 am

hydra

Yes, Soodle, they're all hopping up and down cackling, 'we're gonna get you!'

3:35 am

Haz1558

My father used to get migraines and as a girl I used to think he was making a fuss about nothing. When I started getting migraines in my 40s, I began to understand.

3:36 am

hydra

I wonder if they run in families? My mum and grandma used to get them.

3:37 am

Kazzer99

I don't get many now - I had a period in the late teens early 20s when I even had my head x-rayed to see if there was cause but they didn't find anything - then they went away and I have a few in the last 3 years

3:37 am

Haz1558

I think there is a hereditary element in them. My sister also suffers from them occasionally.

3:38 am

Haz1558

My older daughter (28) is now showing signs of having them as well.

3:38 am

Kazzer99

hubby is threatening to sleep in the spare room tonight as he said I spent all night fidgeting and coughing and generally keeping him awake

3:39 am

Haz1558

Let him sleep in the spare room, it'll do him no harm.

3:39 am

hydra

I agree, Haz.

3:39 am

hydra

Nothing worse than a grumpy huibby who hasn't slept well.

3:39 am

Kazzer99

no that's not fair - he has to drive 92 miles each way to work so he needs the good bed

3:40 am

Haz1558

If he gets a better night's sleep, it's fine.

3:40 am

hydra

Oh, I see.

3:40 am

hydra

Eearplugs then. 92 miles... poor man!

3:40 am

Haz1558

So you, the invalid, gets the worse bed? You could always take it in turns.

3:40 am

Soodle

Kazz... You can be noble when you are better. Right now, you take care of yourself

3:41 am

Jivingjenny0

any clues for the d please

3:41 am

Haz1558

If he were ill, would he go to the spare room and let you stay in the good bed?

3:41 am

Kazzer99

I am hoping that this will finally go tomorrow or later today - the rest of them lasted for about 5 days

3:41 am

Haz1558

dj4/10 and dj5/22

3:42 am

hydra

Build on the j word

3:42 am

dizgrannie

WOW just found a dj 4/10 and 5/22

3:42 am

Haz1558

Plus do4/6 like to give you a do4/5 of medicine

3:42 am

Kazzer99

prob not but then he would be able to take time off work, I really can't afford to - run out of sick leave with all the colds I have had this year

3:42 am

Jivingjenny0

thank you all

3:42 am

dizgrannie

oopsie Haz beat me...lol

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hello, dizgrannie, didn't know you were still about.

3:44 am

Kazzer99

can anyone offer me a clue for the t on the bottom row please

3:45 am

Haz1558

te6/24 and te7/36

3:45 am

Haz1558

It looks like supporters of the stuffed toy bear.

3:45 am

dizgrannie

Hey Haz, been back and forth

3:45 am

Kazzer99

thx haz

3:46 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Kazzer.

3:50 am

Soodle

http://tinyurl.com/8xp5nx5. This is a tribute to my Uncle Louis, whose funeral I attended yesterday. It was a wonderful tribute to a truly remarkable man. RIP Louis.

3:51 am

Haz1558

I'm sorry you lost your uncle, Soodle. We're at the stage now where the older generation is leaving us and it's not nice to be the older ones in the family.

3:53 am

Soodle

The funny thing is, Haz, Louis was much closer to my age than to my Dads. 24 years separated the youngest from the oldest in their family!

3:54 am

Haz1558

A big family, obviously. But I can understand you feeling bereft.

3:56 am

Haz1558

It's a lovely tribute - and he wasn't old, only 62. My sympathy. You'll probably not be able to take it in for a while.

3:57 am

Kazzer99

i was thinking that Haz I think apart from my MUm there rant many relies older than me now - Think I have some cousins in Cornwall

3:57 am

dizgrannie

We will all be celebrating my Mum's 85th on Saturday...her 4 dtrs, most of her 9 g/kids and about 11 of her 21 g/g/kids will be there. Because we are all scattered, not all can come, but we will have Skype on the day

3:58 am

Haz1558

That's great, dizgrannie. Treasure her while you still have her.

3:58 am

Soodle

Is your Mum in good health, Diz?

3:59 am

dizgrannie

thanx Haz, I do treasure her, silly bugga broke her hip last August, but is now getting around great with a walking frame

4:00 am

dizgrannie

yep Soodle, but it took her awhile to have the confidence to go 'out and about' again

4:00 am

Soodle

I hope you all have a wonderful celebration.

4:01 am

Haz1558

It's great that she's still mobile to an extent - so often when they have falls like that it shatters their confidence.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Anyway, it's been lovely to chat but I must head off to get some chores done before I go out. See you again - bye for now!

4:04 am

dizgrannie

Please don't get me wrong when you read what I am about to write....but my Mum's words are 'Okay, I'll be 85, lets have a wake, that way you say say all the nice things people say at a wake about the deceased to my face' cheeky ole bugga that she is...LOL

4:06 am

Soodle

And she is 100% right. I always think that its such a pity that people don't hear the nice things said about them at their funeral.

4:09 am

dizgrannie

Soodle, we had a celebration for my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary (my Dad was dying at the time) although he was only outa bed for a short time, he said 'it's the best wake I have been to'. He died 3 weeks later

4:11 am

dizgrannie

Don't get me wrong _ nothing wrong with me Mums health, shes just trying to see her 4 dtrs, g/kids and g/g/kids all together.

4:12 am

Soodle

Bittersweet, Diz!! My Dad is 84, and he took the death of his youngest brother very very hard. But its a lesson to all of us...Carpe Diem!

4:15 am

dizgrannie

Soodle, so sorry about your Uncle {{HUGGLES}}

4:19 am

Soodle

Thanks Diz, and in case I don't see you before then, have a wonderful family celebration on Saturday. Must poof now!

4:20 am

dizgrannie

thanx, night Soodle xx

Hi ivesy3. :)

6:50 am

rubyfoo

Call me fickle, but I think I'm in love! The new puppy is gorgeous! Now the negotiations and logistical compications as he is in Italy and my husband can't possibly drive that far.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

I will try to get his photo on FB or even in here, but I had to buy winZip to see them.....

6:50 am

ivesy3

so good to hear ruby.... heard u were looking for names.... i like rocco!!

6:51 am

rubyfoo

I think we're going to call him Ruffino, after Rufus, one of our previous wonderful chows

6:51 am

ivesy3

oh like that too ... strong name

6:51 am

rubyfoo

I got a whole list of names from everybody this morning, but Ruffino seems to be the only one my husband likes

6:52 am

rubyfoo

he is a square of beige fluff with a black face and evidently, a real charmer.

6:52 am

ivesy3

looked up some pict on the web.. they are gorgeous dogs.. love their faces

6:52 am

rubyfoo

our friend met him at the Lake Maggiore ferry and after 5 mins, he was licking her face!

6:52 am

rubyfoo

and was letting everybody pat him

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I hope we can get him! My poor husband is such a mess!

6:53 am

rubyfoo

and he looks just like our first chow, Rosie, from 1990

6:53 am

debjed

I'm so happy for you and for Ruffino, who will be getting a wonderful new home :)

6:53 am

rubyfoo

except much paler

6:54 am

rubyfoo

please keep your fingers crossed that we can get him.....

6:54 am

debjed

oh I hope so!!!!!

6:54 am

rubyfoo

we will call him Rufie

6:54 am

ivesy3

mb someone can transport him for you.

6:54 am

rubyfoo

I liked Rocco or even Rusty, but he isn't at all red, so Rusty wouldn't have been appropriate

6:55 am

debjed

there are all kinds of animal transportation teams over here to get dogs and cats to new destinations

6:55 am

rubyfoo

it is about a 5 or 6 hours drive and my husband can hardly walk

6:55 am

car.eeyore

Ahhh...and a hush fell over the house....and peace surrounded me....

6:55 am

rubyfoo

but this would be rural Italy to rural France!!

I wish you the best of news Une.

Uneaixoise

thanks, car :-)

7:10 am

Mom

I hope it can be taken care of straight away

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

they've been really prompt about responding to my claim -- in fact, if I hadn't been out of town Monday, they would have already come and gone

7:11 am

Mom

that is great Une

7:13 am

Uneaixoise

sweet icon pic, mom :-)

7:14 am

bichon

Another big grid! We are so lucky...I think.

7:14 am

car.eeyore

Hi Bichon!

7:14 am

car.eeyore

This one moves right along too!

7:14 am

bichon

ruby, how goes it

7:15 am

rubyfoo

no news on Max, but I think I've found "our"pup, Ruffino is what we'll call him (in honor of our Rufus)

7:15 am

rubyfoo

I saw 4 photos and he's perfect!

7:15 am

bichon

Is he a Chow?

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

aaawww, sorry no news yet re Max but that's exciting about Ruffino!! :-)

7:16 am

Mom

hello ((Ruby and Bichon))

7:16 am

rubyfoo

yes, and he's 75% from the same family as all of our Canadian chows, so he looks very much like our first chow, Rosie, except very light

7:16 am

bichon

Can you get him "chipped". Do they do that in France?

7:16 am

Mom

I am so sorry about Max, Ruby. Excited about Ruffino

7:16 am

bichon

Hi Mom, Une

7:16 am

rubyfoo

he is beige with a very baclk face and is perfectly square

7:17 am

car.eeyore

7:17 am

bichon

don't know anything about Chows, but he sounds just riht

7:17 am

rubyfoo

the big problem now is getting him here as my husband is in no shape to drive 5 or 6 hours

7:17 am

rubyfoo

black* face

7:17 am

bichon

Can they fly him?

7:17 am

rubyfoo

if you look up Mi-Pao online, you will see his blood lines

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

morning, bichon :-)

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

where is he right now, ruby?

7:18 am

rubyfoo

I think it would be easier to have him sent by truck

7:18 am

rubyfoo

he is on the east side of Lake Maggiore

7:18 am

bichon

How about a taxi <ggg>

7:18 am

bichon

Sounds like a nice ride

7:18 am

rubyfoo

and was the first litter in a family, not a professional breeder

7:19 am

rubyfoo

whatever it takes, bichon!

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

can't wait to see pix, ruby!

7:19 am

rubyfoo

it would be a lovely ride, but too far for me to drive and I'm not so keen about mountain roads

7:19 am

bichon

I want a puppy

7:19 am

car.eeyore

Ruby...I will personally volunteer to come and take the ride with you....

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

me too, car!!

7:19 am

car.eeyore

<<filling up Babble Air with gas>>

7:20 am

rubyfoo

I will try to put them in my profile (but I'm so inept) or in facebook or will send them to myself in yahoo

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!!

7:20 am

car.eeyore

I shall pick you up Une!

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

bags are packed!

7:20 am

rubyfoo

we cold have a babble transport!

7:20 am

rubyfoo

husband is unresponsive, still heavily grieving over Max

7:21 am

car.eeyore

No need to pack Une! Babble Air has a lower level of full wardrobes in all sizes with matching accessories! Just pick what you like!

7:21 am

rubyfoo

and Ruby is grieving, too.

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

puppy caravan!!

7:21 am

bichon

Seriously, Ruby, you should have him "chipped" They even have GPS for dogs

7:21 am

car.eeyore

I can only imagine the emotions you are both going through right now Ruby. {[hugs}}

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

wow, car, how accommodating!! LOL

7:21 am

car.eeyore

Suitcases are burdensome.

7:21 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone. is there a list? Ruby :-) for ruffino. maybe the breeder will know of a way to get him to you.

7:22 am

car.eeyore

It also helps with customs.

7:22 am

car.eeyore

Hello Dawg! Wassup!

7:22 am

Uneaixoise

hey, dawg!

7:22 am

Mom

good morning (((LBD)))

7:22 am

rubyfoo

the problem with Max was that since he was autistic and, therefore, extremely shy while at the same time scary-looking, he would have been unapproachable, except by us

7:22 am

bichon

Wait, have you found out what happened to Max?

7:23 am

lbdawger

hi car, Unea, (((mom))) ruby, bichon

7:23 am

bichon

hi dawg, welcome to the grid

7:23 am

rubyfoo

no, he just disappeared. Nobody has found his body, so I think he was hit by a car and went off into bushes or a hedge to die. I think that's what injured animals do

7:24 am

bichon

hmmm.

7:24 am

car.eeyore

<---- now crying

7:24 am

rubyfoo

if, by some miracle, he turns up, I will be ecstatic at having 3 chows!!!!

7:24 am

rubyfoo

I sounds very cold-blooded, but at dinner time, when I would hand-feed him, I fall apart

7:24 am

Mom

I would like to think he was exploring and some one took him in, even being autistic

7:25 am

rubyfoo

I don't think he'd go near anybody but us

7:25 am

bichon

Maybe, somewhere out there, there is a family who took him in.

7:25 am

rubyfoo

I would like to think he found another home, but I doubt it. And then there's the question of his meds as he was on Prozac

7:25 am

Mom

true, but it is easier on the mind to think of him in a home and not in the bushes

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

Ruby, I know what a heavy heart you're dealing with right now . . . everyone wishes they could take the pain away :-(

7:26 am

MollyL

Ruby, I still think you are underestimating Max. The dog you are describing would never have burrowed through a hole and left his "safe space".

7:26 am

Mom

morning Molly

7:26 am

rubyfoo

I've spoken with the SPA and local vets, the police, gendarmes and local mairies

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

hey, molly

7:26 am

bichon

mairies?

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Unfortunately, that is all you can do.

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

town hall, right?

7:27 am

rubyfoo

sorry, mayors' offices -- every little village has one

7:27 am

rubyfoo

and the neighbors have been wonderful, everybody keeping an eye out

7:28 am

rubyfoo

He was/is a very large dog and would be easy to spot, even at a distance

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

love and hugs to you, ruby -- must run -- later, all *poof*

7:28 am

car.eeyore

MollyL

Oh sorry, I thought you didn't have any.

7:35 am

car.eeyore

That's OK. I just want to finish them up.

They have been coming but because it is dark we just weren't seeing them!!! Now that it is lighter longer, there they are !

7:50 am

Thanks to the list, my i's are now down!

car.eeyore

We are due for that weather tomorrow!

7:52 am

we are to hit the mid 60's today as well

7:52 am

uusue2

(yesterday was 30 degrees warmer than Monday is what I am trying to say)

7:52 am

car.eeyore

I have mixed feelings about daylight savings...while I thoroughly enjoy the longer daylight...my boys have such a hard time with the switch!

7:52 am

Good Enough

okay now i'm really going to go exercise. breakfast with my friends then off to visit mom and dad. (tough day for WW but I will do my best)

7:53 am

good luck, GE! I know you can stay on track!

7:53 am

car.eeyore

Good Enough...do you have your pocket guide to take with you?

7:53 am

car.eeyore

Egg whites, fruit, salad....you can do it!

7:53 am

NonoNanette

i think we all have trouble with the changeover Car. I wish they would just skip the changes, don't fall back and leave it be

7:54 am

car.eeyore

I think I agree with you Nono.

7:54 am

Good Enough

i will refer to my ww points on my phone. that will keep me from ordering anything at panera

7:54 am

And I think with only 43 to go, I am going to have to leave for a bit.

7:54 am

Good Enough

hagd all!

Thank God for the phone ap!!!!

7:54 am

car.eeyore

Dressing on the side!!!!!

7:55 am

car.eeyore

And get only half the cheese if possible....

7:55 am

NonoNanette

the only problem would be that kids would be going to school in the dark during winter but in today's world where it seems everychild is bussed or taken to school by a parent would it really matter

7:55 am

car.eeyore

I had a horrible WW day yesterday, so I am trying to psych myself up too!

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Which is the normal time...what we are going to?

7:56 am

8:52 am

Haz1558

Hopefully you'll continue to improve.

8:54 am

Judi

I just saw a recipe in the newspaper for peanutbutter cup martinis. I think I need to go to the PB and whip up a blender full. Cure what ails you, Kazz!

8:54 am

Picklesny

that would either be amazing or disgusting

8:55 am

Judi

Never know until you try, Pickles!

8:56 am

Kazzer99

that sounds revolting - sorry judi but peanut butter makes me barf

8:56 am

Judi

Okay. Well... so much for my medicinal offerings.

8:57 am

Picklesny

some flavors should not be mixed with alcohol

8:57 am

Kazzer99

but i do like baileys so I might have a baileys ice cream milkshake to make my throat feel better

8:57 am

Judi

** don't let Crossy hear you say that about bacon **

8:58 am

Picklesny

bacon and alcohol?

8:58 am

NonoNanette

i believe there is a bacon vodka

8:59 am

Picklesny

Idk, bacon maybe the flavor that can go anywhere?

8:59 am

crosshair

mmm bacon vodka....

8:59 am

NonoNanette

knew that would bring you around crossy :)

9:00 am

crosshair

i have made bacon vodka and when done correctly it is quite delightful

9:00 am

Picklesny

time for work, save me a bacon martini for about 8 p.m. EST

9:00 am

NonoNanette

only if you like vodka

9:00 am

crosshair

9:01 am

NonoNanette

bye Pickles have a good day

9:01 am

9:02 am

nope,not started it yet.these days we do more of a brunch thing before i head to the shop

9:02 am

Judi

I like vodka, but it doesn't like me. So sad.

9:02 am

crosshair

poor judi:(

9:02 am

crosshair

what about a gluten free potato vodka?

9:03 am

Judi

Gluten is not the problem. The alcohol gives me a migraine. Damned inconvenient.

9:03 am

crosshair

ahh,i see

9:04 am

Judi

I started taking Feverfew - which is supposed to be a preventative for migraines. Time will tell. Going to doc on 3/14 - will strongarm him into ordering hormone tests, etc.

9:11 am

crosshair

95% of all women i know are prone to migraines,they will try caffergot,they will try amatryptalene,then there are a host of 20 dollar a pill meds..i have seen nothing fool proof

9:11 am

cybernan

nbt, but not seeing an 8 or 9

9:11 am

crosshair

but the worst of them seem ti dissapate with age

9:11 am

NonoNanette

the 9 is ca 9 leading off the money ca4

9:12 am

Judi

Well, there's something to look forward to.

9:12 am

remluc

***jumping in*** Have you tried a plant-based diet? I've read MANY stories that people have eliminated/greatly reduced migraine pain by cutting out meat/dairy. Just a thought. :)

9:12 am

Judi

There is an re8/55 and re8/50.

9:12 am

crosshair

mest thing that i have found for my beloveds migraines? a dimly lit comfortable room and a half hour full body massage with something chocolate to nibble nice and handy

9:13 am

cybernan

ty judi

9:13 am

Judi

I don't eat red meat and I have very little dairy (milk in the coffee in the a.m. is about all).

9:13 am

crosshair

going to nothing but grazing is a tad drastic

9:14 am

Judi

Mine are primarily hormone related, if ya know what I mean.

9:14 am

crosshair

god do i know... been married 19 years ya know...lol

9:15 am

Judi

brb.

9:15 am

crosshair

but when she had a full hysterectomy,it did not change the patterns of the migraines to any extent

9:16 am

crosshair

they had to take everything

9:16 am

remluc

I've eaten plant-based for over 4 years now. No real reason but to avoid future health problems, so it's really not that drastic. Daily medication could be viewed as drastic to some. (Considering the potential for side-effects.) Again, it was just a thought as I've seen many success stories.

9:16 am

crosshair

indeed,remluc,each to their own and i am sure it helps some

9:16 am

remluc

I didn't mean for that to sound rude if it did. :)

9:17 am

crosshair

not all all remluc

9:18 am

crosshair

i do not bandy words or mince around and it is nice to just speak plainly.no harm or foul:) but i think you could cut off my wifes head to ease her migraine as well as trying to take her cheese from her:)

9:18 am

crosshair

i think if i tried,i would lose some fingers...

9:20 am

Aloyisius

hard to Babble without fingers.. mornin, crossy.. hi to everyone

9:20 am

crosshair

but massage,releases endorphins,relaxes the muscles,improves the blood flow,so it seems to help many things..fun too!

9:20 am

crosshair

howdy aloy

9:20 am

Haz1558

Hello, Aloy.

9:20 am

remluc

:)

9:21 am

Aloyisius

nice to meet you , remluc (-:

9:21 am

crosshair

so remluc,all your protein is nut based then?

9:21 am

remluc

Cheese is a tough one.

9:22 am

crosshair

she would rather her head cracking open like an egg before giving up the cheese

9:23 am

crosshair

and as for me? my colesterol is 96!,so you will only take my eggs from my cold,dead hands

9:23 am

crosshair

seems i have a liver that can process anything:))))

9:24 am

remluc

Well, every bit of food celery, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, fruit, beans, rice etc has protein. In fact, a lot of beans have more protein than meat. So protein really isn't something I even worry about.

9:24 am

m9f9l

hi all.

9:24 am

Aloyisius

hi m9

9:26 am

cybernan

96???? or 9.6?

9:26 am

cybernan

even 9.6 is very high!

9:26 am

remluc

I rarely eat nuts - I pretty much follow a low-fat, plant-based whole food diet. :) Please don't call me the "v" word though. :) Too many negative connotations.

9:26 am

crosshair

2.5 in canadian b.p measure or 96 in american bp measure

9:26 am

crosshair

The only time I remember going for a long period without migraines was when I was getting chiropractic treatments for my back. Fat lot of luck getting that therapy for migraines though.

9:35 am

cybernan

150 down -- time to get a cuppa

9:38 am

Judi

Crossy - I have a Canadian question for you. Is your postal service as screwed up as ours?

9:39 am

Aloyisius

interesting, Judi.. combined with crossy's massage therapy for his wife's migraines.. maybe there is a connection between spine and migraine treatment

9:39 am

Judi

And by screwed up, I mean verging on bankruptcy, closing post offices, laying off workers and considering abolishing Saturday delivery?

9:40 am

Judi

I know, alloy. After all, the spine bone's connected to the head bone.

9:40 am

Aloyisius

yes.. now I'm humming

Judi, I think we can safely lay most of the blame for postal messes on the internet

9:43 am

Aloyisius

ty, rasta.. copied the link for my daughter

9:43 am

rastapopolous

I think we can lay most of the blame for the postal mess on Congress, who have recently decreed that the PO has to have 75 years of medical costs prepaid.

9:43 am

Judi

Partially, Nono. However, the amount of money the gov. wastes in that department is appalling. Gee, another bloated, mis-managed government run entity. Go figure.

9:44 am

bichon

se 8?

9:44 am

There is no se8 - it was requested by mistake for an re8.

Aloyisius

fun invitations?

10:09 am

Judi

I've hacked my way to 62. Gotta throw in the towel. Yes, jmc - no gov. money. However, the bloat and mis-management comes from imposed regulations and policies. Neither of which are efficient or cost effective.

10:09 am

jmcnrick

are they all the same color because i only have two of them

10:10 am

Haz1558

They're all the same colour, but with British and American versions.

11:42 am

flosey

sounds lovely, enjoy

11:44 am

crosshair

good point to insert crossy,s quote of the day:)

11:44 am

crosshair

As a child, my number one best friend was the librarian in my grade school. I actually believed all those books belonged to her.
- Erma Bombeck

11:45 am

flosey

good quote crossy - what a great friend to have so early in life

11:45 am

crosshair

lol,i also lived in the library

11:46 am

flosey

lucky you

11:46 am

flosey

we didn't have one and the books at school were quite limited

11:46 am

flosey

it was a very small community back then

11:46 am

crosshair

used to help organize the dewy card files

11:46 am

flosey

that's an excellent experience

11:47 am

MollyL

Ah, what a nice memory, the Dewy Cards.

11:47 am

crosshair

:( no library is the sadded thing you could tell me in just two works,speak not again or you will utter a single word and make me weep:)

11:47 am

crosshair

saddest

11:48 am

crosshair

words

11:48 am

crosshair

my musing would have more impact if i could use a keyboard;(

11:49 am

flosey

must run and shower, bbinb, 7 words to go

11:52 am

crosshair

you would be reading,waiting,then a teacher or someone else would come to the desk for a book,something from the limited or restricted section and would ask the head librarian if such a book exisited,she would turn to you and arch her eyebrow and that was it,you were off at full speed,powerfull in your understanding of the recently learned dewy filing system and back with the book in question in mere seconds.you payment a smile and perhaps access to the adult section or restricted sections and the shelves filled with worlds upon worlds

11:52 am

crosshair

lol,shower time for crossy and a tea perhaps

Dorens

don't we have any other computer whiz's who can come up with a similar program?

7:25 pm

Jacula

Hi Molly, et al.

7:25 pm

Uneaixoise

same here, dorens -- just listed with 40 to go

7:25 pm

ChampFit

Knew it Molly.

7:25 pm

MollyL

That would be cool, Dorens.

7:25 pm

Jacula

There's a list in my bio, if needed.

7:25 pm

Dorens

freshly made chicken soup with leeks and dill i can put in the pb for you acula

7:25 pm

Uneaixoise

nono has one too

7:26 pm

ChampFit

*passes wine*

7:26 pm

Dorens

hi une, molly, and everyone else

7:26 pm

Jacula

sciencegeek - Lickety hasn't been well and his wife has been redoing the list when she can. In the meantime, many Babblers post list or give clues to help.

7:26 pm

Uneaixoise

hi :-)

7:27 pm

Jacula

Dorens - that soup sounds lovely. Thank you!

7:27 pm

kangabrat

i'm sorry to hear about lickety.

7:27 pm

Dorens

jacula i have truly appreciated always knowing i can go to you, and have been doing so

7:27 pm

kangabrat

haven't been in for a while, and i was wondering...

7:27 pm

Dorens

have bronchitis again jac, so it was sort of necessary

7:28 pm

rururocks

ugh

7:28 pm

Uneaixoise

sorry about that, dorens -- hope you're feeling much better soon!

7:28 pm

Jacula

Dorens - thank you. That's a very nice thing to say. I can't promise to deliver every day, but I'll do my best. Sorry to hear you are ill again.

7:29 pm

sciencegeek

Sorry to hear this! I cannot play at work and can pull the/clues so often just fill in from the clue page

7:30 pm

Dorens

have been home from school the last two days... don't think i've taken off in five years. ah well. back tomorrow, no more fever -- just sprained abdominal muscles from violent coughing.

7:30 pm

Jacula

I had thought about doing the normal clue list and then another list with clues. However, this would take up a great deal of time, since I don't have some whizzy program to do it, just my brain and then typing.

7:31 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure I'd have the time to do it, much as I would like to.

7:31 pm

rururocks

so far the grids haven't stumped Jacula, Dee, Mitch, Dart Josh and others we'll be fine

7:32 pm

Dorens

we really need someone with the computer chops to do something similar to lickety... it just takes forever if i can't plug in what i have... not expert, but just the regular clues

7:32 pm

Jacula

ruru - that's good fighting Babbler talk!

7:33 pm

Dorens

i did the beginning of this grid ridiculously quickly, but the rest will take forever

7:34 pm

Jacula

Dorens - all the lists myself and other Babblers put up surely do the same thing, if you're not using 'Expert'?

7:35 pm

Jacula

ruru - Don't forget VolleyDeeMom - she's usually the first to finish and post a list.

7:36 pm

Dorens

no, actually expert was a step above lickety's list, but lickety's list allowed us to enter the words we had and they'd be placed gloriously in order, letting us see what we were missing in alphabetical order

7:36 pm

sciencegeek

64 Left

7:37 pm

Jacula

Anyway, let's just wait and see what happens. If Dr_God ever revisits his plans for the new-look Babble, the lickety-style list is in there.

7:37 pm

Dorens

has anyone heard anything about that?

7:37 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

7:37 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

7:39 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I don't know much about expert, since I downloaded it but never used it, preferring to do things my own way. But I always appreciated the Lickety (normal) list if clues supplied in the chog weren't enough when doing my final sweep.

7:39 pm

Jacula

Hi Min.

7:39 pm

rururocks

I mentioned Dee Jac.. everyone calls her dee and not volley..lol

7:39 pm

Jacula

Dorens - about the new style Babble? No. Things have gone very quiet on that idea.

7:40 pm

Jacula

ruru - Did you? Oh, sorry!

7:40 pm

Dorens

i don't have expert at home, cause it wasn't applicable for macs, which i have.
hi min

7:41 pm

cosdem

mitchdick is usually the first person to finish and post a list actually. dee then uses his list to finish.

7:42 pm

rururocks

I have novice at home doren..

7:43 pm

Jacula

Cos - I'm sure you're right. I'm not usually around at that time.

7:43 pm

Dorens

lol ru

7:43 pm

Jacula

Whatever, we all work together as a world team! Isn't that brilliant?!

7:43 pm

rururocks

ca 9 help anyone?

7:43 pm

cosdem

person who rings up ur groceries at the store, pt

7:44 pm

Dorens

past tense of the lady who rings up your groceries

7:44 pm

rururocks

thanks

7:44 pm

rururocks

who knew

7:44 pm

cosdem

snap dorens :)

7:44 pm

Jacula

ruru - ca9 - drummed out of the armed forces, or think of a bank teller and extend the word.

7:44 pm

Dorens

snap indeed.. there could have been other ways to clue it, a la jacula

7:45 pm

Jacula

Dorens - that's the other brilliant thing about Babbler - you get all kinds of clues and surely one will suit.

7:46 pm

Dorens

there are many brilliant things about babble, to be sure

7:47 pm

Jacula

Dorens, you've gone all 'Irish' now, to be sure. :-)

7:47 pm

MollyL

Dorens, I miss the bulk/add feature. It really helps me with the bigger grids.

7:47 pm

Dorens

yes, that is what i need molly. i just believe that there must be someone else out there who could do a similar thing

7:47 pm

Jacula

Molly - you just need to learn to type faster. LOL

7:48 pm

Dorens

jacula, everyone in usa goes all irish now.. tis the month

7:48 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I know!

7:48 pm

Dorens

Molly do you live in maryland? i don't know why i think that

7:49 pm

Jacula

Maryland Cookies... mmmm!

7:49 pm

Dorens

don't know maryland cookies... have heard of baltimore cake though. or is it lady baltimore cake?

7:50 pm

Dorens

en 6/24 please

7:51 pm

wvteach

en + what you do with a check

7:51 pm

Dorens

nm, did a peri

7:52 pm

periwinkle

haha

7:52 pm

Jacula

Dorens - the cookies are made in Britain and not sold in UK. They came from a recipe brought over from the USA in 1956.

7:52 pm

rururocks

enbounce

7:52 pm

Dorens

oh, well thank you wv

7:52 pm

wvteach

pt for the 8

7:52 pm

Jacula

ruru - LOL!

7:52 pm

Dorens

7:52 pm

Dorens

haha ru. you are in good form this evening

7:52 pm

periwinkle

firstsh5/12pls

7:53 pm

periwinkle

first sh5/12 pls

7:53 pm

Jacula

I meant to type made in Britain not sold in the USA. Sorry!

7:53 pm

rururocks

:D

7:53 pm

Dorens

makes a bit more sense

7:53 pm

rururocks

no clue on those ch's.. wow

7:54 pm

Dorens

which ones ru. i have them all

7:54 pm

Jacula

peri - sh5.12 sounds like someone who is more reluctant to be in social situations, but refers to a horse that's skittish.

7:54 pm

rururocks

ch 6/27?

7:55 pm

Dorens

like the fast cat. missing a vowel

7:55 pm

periwinkle

ty Jac,that gave me FW

7:55 pm

periwinkle

bye for now

7:55 pm

Dorens

yay peri

7:55 pm

Jacula

peri - y/w.

7:55 pm

Dorens

i am still mmissing ten s's and have no idea which they are yet

7:56 pm

Jacula

*~*~*~*~*~*~* FIREWORKS for peri.

7:57 pm

MollyL

Yes Dorens, I live in Maryland and I've never heard of Maryland cookies.

7:57 pm

rururocks

ch 5/16 also?

7:57 pm

rururocks

thanks for the ch 6/27?

7:57 pm

Dorens

my son is most likely moving to baltimore this summer

7:58 pm

Jacula

Dorens - sh5.14 and plural or verb form sh6.24 might refer to the orange peel in marmalade or what you do with your junk mail to get rid of it.

7:58 pm

majmom

clue for st 8?

7:58 pm

Dorens

i love marmalade

7:58 pm

Dorens

ty jac, you were right btw i was missing them

7:59 pm

Dorens

ch plys y*** says the person who lithpth

7:59 pm

MollyL

My Mom was a big marmalade lover. I'm not big on it, but have it once in a while because it reminds me of her.

8:00 pm

Jacula

st8 = the plural word for the stirrup bone in the ear. However, try horses or cattle running amok uncontrollably without the 'm' and with an extra vowel after the 'p'.

8:00 pm

Dorens

no longer like sweet jam as i did before. marmalade and pb are good

8:01 pm

rururocks

I don't get that clue at all doren.. is it english?

8:01 pm

Dorens

haha. i wath trying to be clever. thpeaking with a lithp

8:01 pm

rururocks

I got it. thank you

8:01 pm

majmom

ty -jacula

8:01 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I always add Jamesons' whiskey to my home-made marmalade. It gives it a kick, even though the alcohol is cooked out.

8:01 pm

Dorens

plys wath thuppothed to be plus however

8:02 pm

Dorens

i acatually have a bionic st6/21 . mine was calcified, and replaced with a platinum/teflon one

8:03 pm

Dorens

and thank you jac, was another i needed

8:03 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I thuppose you think that wath funny?

8:03 pm

Dorens

it did theem appropriate clue for ruru, didn't it?

8:03 pm

MollyL

Terrible waste of Jemmy's Jac

8:04 pm

Dorens

never a waste if she enjoys it

8:04 pm

Dorens

so molly, what do you know of roland park in baltimore???

8:04 pm

Jacula

No, I don't have a lithp. I was just kidding around. Pity crossy's gay air steward joke got lambasted the other day by some 'blow in' on the site. I thought it was funny.

8:05 pm

Dorens

i missed it... was it politcally incorrect? we do have a lot of sensitive folks here

8:05 pm

MollyL

Nice area Dorens.

8:06 pm

Dorens

that is apparently where he is looking at houses

8:06 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I suppose it might have been unPC. Well, the complainer said it contained 'too many gay stereotypes' or something like that.

8:07 pm

MollyL

Wow, very nice. It's a historical area, one of the more upscale places in Baltimore.

8:07 pm

Jacula

Dorens - You'll have to ask crossy to tell yo the joke again when you two are around at the same time again.

8:08 pm

MollyL

So it's definite your kids are moving to Baltimore? You must be bereft.

8:08 pm

Dorens

well, they won't be buying one of the bigger houses. he is going to hopkins, and it seemed to him the best neighborhood.
jac, i'll probably live without the joke..

8:08 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I'm sure you'll live fine without the joke.

8:09 pm

Dorens

maybe not 100 % definite yet, but seems most likely. i'll just readjust my compass and teach my car to drive down there instead of cambridge. and i'll miss seeing my sister when i'm visiting

8:10 pm

MollyL

That's a longer drive for you, yes?

8:11 pm

Jacula

I wish my daughter wasn't living in Romania right now and intending to live in Australia eventually. I wish my son wasn't getting skills needed to go and live in Canada and that my stepdaughter wasn't planning to get the skills to go and live in NZ. But, given that the UK gives almost no worthwhile jobs to graduates these days, I quite understand why all three of my kids want to leave the country.

8:13 pm

Jacula

When I'm a pensioner, on basic UK pension - if that even exists when I get to that age in 10 years' time - I doubt I could ever afford to go to Aus and NZ and then take the round the world flight to Canada, or if I'd be healthy enough to be allowed on the flights.

8:14 pm

Dorens

it might be, might not... sort of depends on traffic. i could do cambridge from here in 3 1/2, but if there was traffic it could be an hour or more longer.

8:15 pm

Dorens

indeed jacula. i consider myself fortunate that i can drive myself to visit the grandkids once a month.. comfortable car, and baltimore, like cambridge, is within driving distance

8:15 pm

MollyL

You could take the train too Doren, if you like train travel.

8:16 pm

Dorens

i had learned my way around their neighborhood, knew where to shop, take the kids, walk to phoebe's school. etc. won't hurt for me to learn it all over again.

8:17 pm

Dorens

train travel is ok, but i like having the car while there. may change that in the future

8:17 pm

Jacula

I'm off to listen to the surf and the pebbles on the shore again now (aka Beloved snoring and grinding his teeth). See you all next grid! xx

8:18 pm

Dorens

enjoy jacs, g'night

8:18 pm

MollyL

Bless you Jac, I don't know how you do it.

8:18 pm

wvteach

good night jacula - thnx for your list

8:20 pm

Dorens

darn. missing an re... wish i could tell where it is, don't seem to
