1:57 am
VolleymomDee
I haven't cancelled this one yet. The other is supposed to start next Friday. I thot if the other doesn't get connected I could use wireless at Starbucks.
1:57 am
grannyrose
well, how about June/July? will not be quite so active then.will need some sup[port. ( you know everything sags after 60, right?)
1:58 am
cosdem
july is perfect lol
1:58 am
dart001
you were wondering about old emails...you could forward them from old to new if you want to keep them and you have an overlap
1:58 am
cosdem
dee u can pretty much find free wireless anywhere you go :) im using my neighbor's wifi.. she gave me permission
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
not a bad idea for the stragglers... I only have 5 more folders to go through, but that is a great idea
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
most of our neighbors here are password protected... I would think it would be same in the new neighborhood... not sure though
2:00 am
VolleymomDee
I could also deluge my hubby's at work, but he might strangle me if I do that LOL
2:00 am
dart001
and you have to watch what you do on the public ones...coffeeshops, airports etc....probably dont want to use passwords, do banking etc
2:01 am
VolleymomDee
I don't do any banking online.
2:02 am
cosdem

nice, cos
2:03 am
cosdem
sorry hiccup
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
Interesting tidbit... the new provider is only a couple of dollars more than this one and the internet is faster and we should get more TV channels...
2:04 am
cosdem
28 to go.. will find 3 more then call it a night and go to WW
2:04 am
cosdem
i use dish. its 100.00 cheaper than comcast. love it.
2:04 am
cosdem
we get twice as much channels for the same price with dish
2:05 am
cosdem
and we get two free dvr boxes with dish
2:05 am
VolleymomDee
For some reason this neighborhood never did well with dishes (don't know if it is because we were close to airport)
2:06 am
cosdem
i heard bad things about dish but we decided to try it out. maybe its because of our elevation we've never had problems.. it went out 3 times in 2 years and it came right back on within 5 mins
2:07 am
cosdem
the only con with dish is there is no on demand :(
2:08 am
cosdem
25 left. saving them for tomorrow. onto WWF. night all

How long has it been since you were able to take in fluids? Perhaps an IV would be beneficial to get your strength back up.
7:58 am

no doc think I will get over it - its just irritating being not able to swallow comfortably - but hopefully the painkillers are working and I will have a nice big glass of water

EvaNadine
allrighty, american babblers, i need advice/suggestions!
thanks to our wonderfully early start of spring, my allergies are ALREADY kicking up. in the past i have used claratin, zyrtec, and allegra, but none of them have REALLY worked. any recommendations??
12:40 pm
suz01
you need to get a NetiPot. it's a nasal rinse.
12:40 pm
doseffing
... burn every plant within a thousand miles ... or buy lots of kleenex ... that's my plan ...
12:41 pm
ivesy3
are u near a cvs store?
12:41 pm
SeaSpray
Netti pot is wonderful...Netti and mucinex works for me
12:41 pm
SeaSpray
WalMart has both
12:41 pm
EvaNadine
ivesy, yes
12:41 pm
Erda
Eva: During WW II in Europe, all allergies stopped. Why? Because peoples' minds were occupied with more important things, such as: "Will I be dead tomorrow?" So, now we know where the trigger is. I keep saying to myself that I have NO allergies and it works!
12:41 pm
EvaNadine
hrm. not sure if ive tried mucinex. might hafta pick some up.
12:42 pm
suz01
I still take some meds for allergies but the sinus rinse has greatly reduced my headaches.
12:42 pm
SeaSpray
mind is a powerful thing Erda
12:42 pm
EvaNadine
erda, if only.
unfortunately, my alternatingly stuffy/running nose, constant sneezing, dry eyes, and sore throat all tell me otherwise.
12:42 pm
Erda
Oh yes, that it is!!!
12:43 pm
Erda
Well, Eva, you gave up before even trying!
12:43 pm
ivesy3
i got there brand of allergy relief.. take one tab a day stopped all symptoms....
12:43 pm
SeaSpray
I use the netti pot as soon as I start to feel the throbbing begin and pop 1200 mg of mucinex..repeat as needed
12:44 pm
EvaNadine
oh, i tried allright. for years i told myself i didnt have them, and for years, i just felt miserable! now ive just come to terms with it + want to medicate so i can enjoy the lovely outdoors. :)
12:44 pm
ivesy3
oh crapppola lunch over back to work ta ta
12:44 pm
Erda
Try something harmless, such as camomile tea
12:44 pm
sammysmom
se 7/32 ?
12:44 pm
EvaNadine
never tried a netti pot, though i have heard lots of praise for them. i know it will clear out my sinuses, but will it help with my other symptoms too?
12:45 pm
suz01
it couldn't hurt to try!!
12:46 pm
SeaSpray
I don't think it will help the runny nose as the netti pot promotes draining, but it can't hurt to try I guess
12:46 pm
Deeha
I think it means 'in ranks' se +two const. +myself + Mr.. the talking horse I am rubbish at cluing!!
12:47 pm
suz01
the runny nose might lessen if you get rid of the pollen in your sinuses every night
12:47 pm
SeaSpray
thats true suz
12:47 pm
Erda
I found that camomile tea works in many cases, even when it makes absolutely no sense...
12:48 pm
sammysmom
great clue deeha... thanks
12:48 pm
EvaNadine
does it FEEL weird? i have issues with water near my face...heh
12:48 pm
suz01
it's worth a try! I thought my doc was crazy wanting me to do it. now I swear by it!
12:49 pm
SeaSpray
follow the directions and you should have no problem...remember to keep your mouth open
12:49 pm
suz01
at first but then you get used to it. I thought it was so gross in the beginning. but the relief is worth it
12:50 pm
suz01
true, true, sea!
12:50 pm
SeaSpray
I wouldn't try it for years and a little old lady kept suggesting it to me as her daughter has multiple health issues...now I swear by it
12:52 pm
SeaSpray
I feel it wards off sinus infections and that is well worth it to me
12:52 pm
EvaNadine
im minorly terrified of it, but i might give it t try. id much prefer to not have to take pills...
12:53 pm
suz01
I think it does sea. I haven't had a sinus infection in 2 years that I've been using it
12:53 pm
SeaSpray
I am not a big fan of pills either Eva, but the mucinex makes me start draining within a half hour and feel soooo much better

Oh. I have a chest cold.
1:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I forgot to get the Vick's Vapo-rub to smear on my feet.
1:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You're supposed to smear it on your feet and then put your socks on and it helps your cough.
1:35 pm
SeaSpray
I thought you were supposed to put it on your chest
1:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You would think so, hah?
1:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Apparently coughs originate in cold feet.
1:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Hey Sea Spray...Lisa Rinna????????????
1:40 pm
EvaNadine
neti pots for everyone!

EvaNadine
you get a netipot -- and YOU get a netipot!

I've never used one of those.
1:42 pm
EvaNadine
i havent either, kaplan. but i think i may be picking one up tonight
1:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I remember with newborns they recommended a saline solution- so it must be the same thing.
1:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
"They" being the authorities we all know about- this time the medical authorities.
1:46 pm
MollyL
I have the chest cold too Kap. My son and I have had it for a week now. And hell yeah to Vicks on the feet.
1:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Does it get worse?
1:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can't tell if it's just the opening act of a full flu performance.
1:47 pm
MollyL
It's stayed about the same. The cool mist at night really helps a lot.
1:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Did you get really spacy and dissociated- I mean more than usual?
1:49 pm
SeaSpray
sorry had a phone call...Kap I am not a fan of Lisa Rinna and DOL's is getting crappy....I am lucky if I watch it one or 2 days a week
1:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I was falling asleep earlier and I felt like I really understood the differences in consciousness from my soul to my waking self
1:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It was weird.
1:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I HATE Lisa Rinna, and feel like they're going back to the 80's. Renaming it "Days of Our Lips."
1:51 pm
SeaSpray
LOL Well I didn't want to be quite so blunt in case you loved her, but yeah can't stand her lol @ lips
1:51 pm
MollyL
<---Also CAN'T STAND Lisa Rinna
1:51 pm
SeaSpray
Well who does like her then? besides her husband
1:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
So there's the self that you are in the world, and that other people know and relate to, then there is your inner narrative that may not be fully revealed to others, then there is your Self that exists beyond you that is the same self you were as an infant
1:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The thing is, I really felt those things. No one likes Lisa Rinna.
1:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
From the spiritual to the mundane in one easy trip...
1:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Like Sand through an Hourglass,
1:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
so our the Days of our Lips...
1:53 pm
SeaSpray
I am gonna think of that everytime I hear that now lol
1:53 pm
amelu0218
sammysmom, did you get the ar6? it's more of a talent for painting and such (???)
1:54 pm
SeaSpray
Who would want lips like that?
1:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The better to kiss you, my dear.
1:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I guess they lips serve to distract from the complete lack of talent.
1:55 pm
SeaSpray
I really disliked her on DWTS
1:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
So anyway, as I was falling asleep, I felt like I really understood the mind-body problem...
1:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne
and that's how I knew I was ill.
1:56 pm
SamanthaJoy
I was waiting for the punchline. Thanks, Kaplan. :)
1:56 pm
MollyL
In between sleep and awake is a cool state of consciousness
1:56 pm
SeaSpray
are you feeling better now?
1:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne
All of the great philosphical breakthroughs were made by people with chestcolds.
1:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Lightheaded. Teenage daughter not talking to us. Falling apart over SAT's and perception of parental indifference
1:58 pm
SeaSpray
oh no and a cold to boot?
1:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne
There was a French writer, I think it wass, who kept trying to devise a system rouse himself from that before-sleep state so he could write down what was in his mind
1:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I don't think it worked.
2:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne
So, back to the soaps.

Continued blessings to you both MPitt. I know you are fighting the good fight.
2:05 pm
SeaSpray
MPitt a friend of mine has stage 4 melona, went to his lungs, chemo did not help him at all, he opted for a new procedure . Not totally sure how it works, but he was an out patient and they went in and froze or zapped the tumors, a month later one was completely gone and the other is scar tissue
2:05 pm
MPittore
yes and we will never lose hope first he only had 2-4 months and that was in May 2011...still 5-6% make it two years and 1% make it 5 years...new discoveries happen every day maybe tomorrow will be for him!
2:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I hope your family has a lot of good support around you
2:06 pm
MPittore
There have been many new exciting advances with melanoma some amazing strides have been made with that type
2:06 pm
SeaSpray
he is very happy but they must keep a close watch on him as he said melaona travels so quickly
2:08 pm
MollyL
MPitt, your positive attitude is the best thing you have going for you. Keep the faith.
2:08 pm
SeaSpray
Strength and prayers to you and your husband MPitt
2:10 pm

his is small cell lung extensive with mets to his liver...also had low sodium and a male over 60 so everything possible against him but he is a fighter and so am I and we will never give up. Every day is a miracle if you only open your heart and eyes to it...the world is a picture frame and you get to pick what picture you want to put in your frame!

I get a double dose of that. I was there yesterday to have my boss's return prepared, much more complicated than mine...but not as painful to me!
2:19 pm
Anniebrook
Name that proper noun...Greek tragic heroine, wife of Jason
2:19 pm
MPittore
I practically do ours myself and something must be wrong with me because I think it's fun....but then I take it to the CPA and he plugs all my numbers in his 'puter and charges me big $'s and I pay him and feel so happy! Must be my twisted sense of doing the right thing! LOL

Same here...get it all together and hand it over. I offered to bring it all in in a shoe box this year and he didn't want to hear it.
2:21 pm

Some say Medea is too liberal, however.
2:22 pm

A Funky Cold Medea
2:22 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I heard a medea is going to hit the earth and smash us to smithereens.
2:22 pm
MPittore
Molly was that the name of a song???
2:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
But I can't function being paranoid about the Medea.
2:23 pm
MPittore
Kap was it a small medea or large?
2:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
HA HA
2:24 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It was Multimedea.

This is one way to deal with pain.

I wonder who the first standup comedian was?
2:29 pm
MPittore
I think I'm diverting the issue that I only have 28 words so I flew off into silliness
2:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
None is mentioned in the Bible.
2:30 pm
MPittore
oooh Kap...deep thoughts....perhaps it was the serpent?
2:30 pm

The serpent was Don Rickles?

negativeneil
Oh I've seen that ad banner for some time, kje. If that's the same one you're seeing?

6:18 pm
Jillyjill
Tapping my feet already!!
6:19 pm
Soodle

6:25 pm
Jillyjill
*hugs* to all, especially soodle!
6:27 pm
MollyL
But the day fell on a Saturday! The whole Nation will be sotted.
6:29 pm
MollyL
Meanwhile, the pub shirt I ordered (and paid extra shipping for to get it here on time) went to my old work address, so no pub shirt for St. Patrick's Day. *cries in beer*
6:29 pm
Soodle
Pish.... Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday... it matters not a whit! To further fuel the drink-fest, Ireland are playing England in the rugby tomorrow.....
6:29 pm
Jillyjill
We have an irish city in Montana, Butte. Hubby from there and I lived there 3 years...they have a huge St Paddy's day celebration...and the town will be sotted as well!

Aye, I forgot. It's a National Holiday in the auld sod.
6:30 pm
Jillyjill
Same boat molly, I lost 81 pounds last year and have nothing to wear tomorrow, green eye shadow and underwear it must be!
6:30 pm
Soodle
Jilly, how do you phonetically pronounce Butte?
6:30 pm
MollyL
Holy crap, 81 pounds?
6:30 pm
MollyL
Like cute Soodle.
6:31 pm
MollyL
I have plenty of other things to wear, but this was a personalized pub shirt with my family of origin name on it. Blargh.
6:31 pm
Soodle
Thanks Molly. And I echo your astonishment....81lbs????
6:31 pm
Jillyjill
Long 'u" like beauty
6:32 pm
MollyL
Congratulations on your hard word Jilly.
6:32 pm
Jillyjill
I go over for the Gaelic Society's fesival in August, more celebration, less idiots getting sotted!
6:32 pm
MollyL
Or your hard work
6:32 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, size 20 to size 8...yay!!
6:32 pm
Soodle
Jilly, you must be half the woman you used to be!
6:33 pm
Jillyjill
LOL, yep and closet a lot emptier!
6:34 pm
Soodle
<---------- Stands back in amazement. Less than half the woman. Wow, Jilly. Well done. As a size 8 you probably look FAB in underwear and green eyeshadow!
6:34 pm
MollyL
Our Jilly is just a wee slice of the lass she used to be.

6:35 pm

howdy jilly and soodles,green beer be on tap at the pub soon
6:36 pm
Soodle
Jilly, a friend of mine lost a similar amount of weight. In awe, I asked her how she did it. She calmly looked me in the eye and said,' I shut my gob and got off my arse'. Not rocket science. :-(
6:36 pm
Jillyjill
Eat less, move more....lol
6:37 pm
Jillyjill
Just friended you on FB soodle...
6:37 pm
Soodle
Just accepted you, Jilly :-)
6:37 pm
Jillyjill
Actually went thru a naturopath and did the HCG injections...
6:38 pm
crosshair
ahh skin is in the grid;)
6:39 pm
Jillyjill
thanks! Now you can go look through photos soodle
6:39 pm
Soodle
Jilly - I have no idea what a naturopath is, or what HCG injections are.. could you elaborate, please? (thinking Soodle has found an easy way to get skinny..._
6:42 pm
Jillyjill
Not so easy and very controversial but I was at the end of my rope! It's the pregnancy hormone (I had no hotflashes when on injections). You are on 500 calories/day during program. Very regimented. 27 day program. And a naturopath is a holistic practioner. Did a lot of research and had a buddy to do it with.
6:43 pm
MollyL
I've never gotten why the injections are involved. Anyone would lose tons of weight on only 500 calories a day.
6:44 pm
MollyL
Wait a minute, back up The Soul Train. You lost 81 pounds in 27 days???
6:44 pm
Jillyjill
The studies show that, unlike without injections, you lose muscle, not fat. And I truly was not hungry...cravings, but not hunger
6:45 pm
Jillyjill
Nope, did four 27 day sessions to get the 81 off.
6:45 pm
Soodle
Wow... Just looking at the photos of the incredible shrinking Jilly. Absolutely lovely, Jill -)
6:45 pm
Jillyjill
With 6-8 week maintenance sessions in between.
6:45 pm
Jillyjill
Thanks Soodle...now to keep it off!
6:47 pm
Soodle
My fear about those sort of weight loss programmes is that once one goes back to 'normal' eating, you pile the weight back on. Keep up the maintenance sessions, Jilly, and well done again.
6:47 pm
Jillyjill
Okay, probably fishy but I cannot seem to find the em4/8...monkeying has not worked..clue please?
6:47 pm
ivesy3
i lost 30 lbs running up and down stairs at the library lol... also on byetta for diabeties, curbs your hunger
6:47 pm
MollyL
I think I'm more like Soodle's friend. Eat less, exercise more. It's the age old, proven way.
6:48 pm
Soodle
Hi Ivesey :-)

7:05 pm
uusue2
oh, I sent them on to my lawyer, I am sure nothing will come of any of them.
7:06 pm
uusue2
and I did my taxes this morning, will get a nice tidy sum back, but not so much that I have to tell the bankruptcy trustee about it (which means I actually get to keep it)
7:07 pm
uusue2
and thanks, soodle, you are a sweetheart :-)
7:07 pm
Soodle
Sue, one of my mantras (apart from Thoughts Become Things, and Onwards and Upwards) is You Can't Get Blood From A Stone. If you haven't got it, they can't take it from you.
7:07 pm
uusue2
well, exactly.

I'm not joking... whenever I DO shuffle off this mortal coil, I'm gonna need a mighty big tombstone to inscribe all my words of wisdom on.. LOL

Oh the joys of a new car..... Oh the smell of a new car, the excitement, the promises to keep the tyres inflated correctly, to keep the interior clean and shiny, the vows not to allow anybody smoke, curse, fart or otherwise sully the interior. I used to love getting a new car...
7:43 pm
Scrabbler
I don't think I will ever buy a new car again, just pre-owned.
7:46 pm
uusue2
mmm, I worry about not knowing the car's history...prefer new ones
7:46 pm
Soodle
My ex used to trade in our year old car for a brand new model every year. (Come to think of it, he eventually did the same with his wife..). But it was a time of high excitement, taking ownership of a brand new car.
7:46 pm

We have left our soda bread, honey, and Irish whiskey out for the wee folk. In return, they leave us gold coins. : )
7:47 pm
uusue2
do they now, Molly?
7:47 pm
Scrabbler
So expensive though. Well, I will decide when the time comes. Even better would be to save money and pay cash for a car.
7:48 pm
MollyL
It's a family tradition, started when the kids were small. : )
7:48 pm

Hello Babble cr4/9! I de4/5 it necessary to do a story of clues since there is no list. Many years ago, Mi6/21 O.J. Simpson got ar6/18ed for committing a cr5/14. He was accused of murdering Ronald Goldman&Nicole Simpson. Nicole was his wife who was very mi 5/12able with him. A trial was re7/40d and he was acquitted and set fr4/7. The jurors fr 5/18 him because they didn't think he was guilty of the murders. In the court room, there were cr 5/12 of outrage from Ronald Goldman's family & Nicole Simpson's family. Personally, I believe he was guilty and O.J. should have been fr 5/18 for the murders. It ir 4/4 me he got away with it. But only O.J. knows what really happened and he is keeping it a se6/21 from the re4/4 of the world. Husband wants the computer. He is ti4/4d of waiting for the laptop. I fr 4/7 what he will do if I do not give the computer to him. I am going to be a ri5/10 and ri 4/4 out of this seat and go watch the movie "We 4/8 Side Story. Goodnight all! I'll see you all tomorrow.
