12:56 am

magazinemom

It went right by my daughter's docs office there. Plus I have many friends in the area. One was driving down 35 when it hit

12:56 am

dart001

rain-wrapped...couldn't see it...the dangerous ones

12:56 am

jillibus

every area has dangers -- it's earthquakes here -- hurricanes elsewhere, tornadoes. Dear old Mother Earth is a dangerous place.

12:57 am

justafreep

i find tornadoes scarier than the earthquakes we get here. I think it's because there's warning/anticipation

12:57 am

cybernan

200 down - enough for tonight -- see you tomorrow :)

12:57 am

dart001

least with hurricanes you get some warning...not so much for tornadoes and earthquakes

12:57 am

flosey

well done nan

12:57 am

jillibus

Tornadoes are REALLY scary -- no escaping them!

12:57 am

magazinemom

what's scary is now we're getting earthquakes in OK too. Tornadoes are enough, thank you very much Mother Nature

12:58 am

dart001

12:58 am

magazinemom

The kids and I will be sticking close to the storm cellar tomorrow

12:58 am

jillibus

fantastic, nan -- I'm all the way up to 61 words -- but I do enjoy the chat too

12:59 am

magazinemom

dart- honestly thought that was artillery fire from the Army base at first, but it just kept going and going. LOL

12:59 am

jillibus

storm cellars sound like a great idea

12:59 am

PMS

t

6:21 am

lilliann

yw girlie.haven't got a clue.it didn't have a definition

6:23 am

girlie

makes me cross because babble will never allow "rort", which is a great word and perfectly legitimate (in Aus, anyway)

6:24 am

roncook

whats a rort ?

6:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

po**ier is a word.

6:26 am

roncook

yer thats more camp !

6:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think enable didn't used to take reti4 but now it does.

6:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

right, ron.

6:27 am

roncook

as the aussies say " a right mincer" !

6:39 am

dizgrannie

a rort is along the lines of a 'con job' ie: rort the system, in other words claim social security benefits when one isn't supposed to - well one way of looking at it

6:41 am

roncook

ta diz, we`ve gots a aweful lot of rorts here them mostly Romanian pickpockets and gypos.

6:41 am

dizgrannie

sorry RonCook, but I think 'a right mincer' may be an English saying

6:42 am

roncook

you may be right there ducky !

6:54 am

hurshy

no7/28

6:54 am

Trifioso

does it begin with the prefix for not?

6:54 am

hurshy

yes

6:57 am

Trifioso

so it does! thanks hurshy, thats nbt, and now I can go forth with a peaceful brain today.

6:57 am

hurshy

really can't believe how much i'm struggling with the p's

6:58 am

hurshy

nice :)

6:59 am

MollyL

<--Did not know Babble solving was the source for a peaceful brain

7:00 am

hurshy

if that's all it took my brain should be very serene

7:00 am

MollyL

That's what I was thinking

7:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

For all you pedi-fetishists out there, try fo4po4.

7:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

It won't work, butyou can try anyway.

7:09 am

hurshy

was thinking of going out for lunch today, but then realized that would be a waste of money since my nose is too stuffed for me to taste what i'm eating.

7:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

Nasal spray.

7:10 am

hurshy

i don't think that would help

7:10 am

dizgrannie

try fo 4 and pr 5 + pl

7:10 am

MollyL

I love the saline spray. Un-stuffs my nose right away.

7:11 am

hurshy

this stuff is very stubborn. even with staying very hydrated and sudafed it is very THICK and doesn't want to let me blow it out.

7:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

Also a chisel works kind of well

7:11 am

MollyL

Ah, what an image

7:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

Sudafed is like speed to me. Can't take it.

7:11 am

hurshy

yes, a chisel sounds more like it

7:12 am

MollyL

Me too Kap, it wires me way up.

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

And don't even talk about Robitussen DM. Should be illegal.

7:13 am

hurshy

weird, these products do not affect me that way at all.

7:13 am

MollyL

It's all in the way you metabolize things, or so I've heard.

7:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

The DMX stuff in Robitussen makes people trip if they take too much.

7:14 am

MollyL

For instance, sugar hypes most kids up. For kids with ADD, it slows them down.

7:14 am

hurshy

my husband sure can snore.

7:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ritalin is a stimulant.

7:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

the opposite of ir4y is wrinkly.

7:16 am

MollyL

Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant. That's why sale of cold meds is closely monitored. People buy it to make crystal meth.

7:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, this is true, Molly.

7:19 am

roncook

sound like a misspent youth Mollyl is that the voice of experience.??

7:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, Molly has been in her basement cookin up meth for the last 6 years.

7:20 am

hurshy

molly's brain, as displayed in this chatroom, is clearly not missing enough cells for that to be the case.

7:21 am

roncook

can you mainline it through the internet like a virtual snort ?

7:21 am

hurshy

ron said a woooooord

7:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

OOOrick people into the PB.H- this was a whole conversation designed to t

7:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

Starting with stuffy noses, ending with inhaling drugs...

7:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

There is some Vicks in the PB.

7:24 am

MollyL

No misspent youth. I just watch "Breaking Bad" which is a show about a high school chemistry teacher who turns to a life of crime cooking crystal meth.

7:25 am

roncook

only joking !

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

great show!!!

7:25 am

MollyL

For the record, I never said sn5 once.

7:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

You didn't. ROn did.

7:26 am

MollyL

Une, I have totally grown to hate Walter and I will be happy if he gets his just desserts in the final season.

7:26 am

hurshy

just deserts

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

Will you have some dinner? No, I'm here for just desserts.

7:27 am

roncook

i`m sure one word is not going to help many of your inteligent persons

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

there's no telling WHAT will happen in the next season -- always lots of surprises!

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

Is there a pastry shop anywhere in the world called Just Desserts?

7:27 am

hurshy

pretty sure there is, yes kap

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ron, it's PB anyway. There are Just Desserts in it.

7:28 am

MollyL

Why is it pronounced desserts if the spelling is deserts. Just deserts? Just Sahara? Weird.

7:28 am

roncook

what is a PB ?

7:28 am

Mom

hello everyone

7:28 am

hurshy

it's not like the sahara. your deserts are what you deserve.

7:28 am

Mom

desserts spelled backwards ..... stressed :-)

7:29 am

MollyL

I think I'll just stick to comeuppance.

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm reading more H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N so I could wordplay you to death if I chose.

8:38 am

... only 7 years for me

8:38 am

good play. . . very silly

8:38 am

jmcnrick

coffee now there is an idea. . . brb. . . i needs to brew a cup and go to the bank

8:39 am

... hey ... it's likely the play that Shakespeare saw as a kid that got him interested in the theatre ... gotta be great ...

8:40 am

jmcnrick

i never knew that story

8:40 am

jmcnrick

*poink*

8:41 am

doseffing

... I believe it's writen about 1550 ... travelling theatre troupe ... goes by Stratford ... the whole town including the city council shows up ... Will gets dragged along ... seems reasonable

8:42 am

doseffing

... I believe it's the oldest non-religous play existing in English

8:42 am

bichon

Will was born in 1564

8:43 am

welki

so was i!

8:43 am

doseffing

... so Ralph was likely the only play without religous consequences that was playing

8:49 am

redturtlehead

wow Doseffing, thats pretty neat to know!!!

8:52 am

doseffing

... mispent childhood listening to an old British Musical Comedy Review called At The Drop of a Hat on record ... they did a bit on Ralph Roister-Doister ... just stuck ... then saw it done by a high school theatre group at the provincial finals of the Ontario Sears Drama Festival ... and they did a really excellent job

8:54 am

doseffing

8:55 am

redturtlehead

well, I started this new job, its all sort of 9-5ish...and so I now have all my weekends free, so I am trying to adjust to this. I was glad for a big grid.

8:56 am

Anniebrook

does the no9 have anything to do with the no wrinkle word?

8:57 am

wvteach

a big grid with 78 Ts and 55 Ps

8:57 am

bichon

I don't think so annie

9:00 am

flosey

good for you Annie

9:00 am

rubyfoo

looks like the gang's all here

9:00 am

rubyfoo

yes, electricity is still on (or I couldn't be here)

9:00 am

flosey

time to roll out the barrel perhaps

9:00 am

bichon

Sat. AM Babbles teaming up

9:00 am

rubyfoo

I knew somebody with a cat named Roister-Doister but I never knew the origin

9:01 am

bichon

what happened to your power ruby?

9:01 am

rubyfoo

husband lost the electric bill and they were ready to turn it off

9:01 am

redturtlehead

there is a barrell?

9:01 am

rubyfoo

OPA!

9:01 am

bichon

That's why I pay it on line. They send me a notice by email every month

9:02 am

rubyfoo

he was reading our meter and posting it online, but lost track of the whole thing

9:02 am

redturtlehead

I struggle with all the different pass words for the online payments!!! I've finally gotten a few set up...

9:03 am

rubyfoo

I'm an old paper and checkbook person

9:04 am

Anniebrook

me too

9:04 am

redturtlehead

I find that I love to write checks....But I may have to either just go to cash, Because I am ALWAYS running out of the checks.

9:05 am

rubyfoo

I used to love balancing my checkbook (OCD ANYONE?)

9:05 am

redturtlehead

I admit, I do not baance a check book at all. I just check the balance on line...

9:06 am

doseffing

... better a bit of OCD ... than being like my wife who hasn't balanced it in 25 years

9:06 am

rubyfoo

my first husband was like that, never entered the amounts of the checks

9:07 am

rubyfoo

this husband always had his secretaries do it

9:07 am

redturtlehead

I think if there are 2 people on an account it is very important to balance...since it is only me...

9:07 am

rubyfoo

absolutely, red!

9:16 am

bichon

My husband doesn't touch any of the financial matters in our household. Better that way.

9:16 am

rubyfoo

mine would be happy if I would and, inevitably, I'll have to

9:16 am

rubyfoo

but I've been too lazy

9:16 am

flosey

same here bichon, he does have a separate chequing account - both names on each

9:17 am

rubyfoo

little-by-little, I'll be taking over

9:17 am

rubyfoo

:(

9:18 am

flosey

I've always handled household matters, hydro, etc he looks after taxes and such

9:19 am

flosey

so true ruby

9:23 am

bichon

I doibt I'll finish today

9:23 am

9:24 am

rubyfoo

let's put that in the househole budget -- more time for babble

9:24 am

flosey

hey, great idea ruby

9:24 am

Nef

Good Morning Fellow Babblers! I never chat til I get NBT (unless I'm hopelessly stuck and need a clue); have had the grandson A LOT lately so haven't been here in a while

9:24 am

flosey

wonder if things would balance

9:24 am

flosey

hi Nef, good to see you

9:24 am

... I recommend 28 hour days ...

9:25 am

rubyfoo

hello Nef!

9:25 am

rubyfoo

OK, how do we start, dose?

9:25 am

wvteach

i'll sign up for the 28 hour days

9:25 am

doseffing

... likely something along the lines of deep breathing and meditation ... will slow everything down ..

9:25 am

9:26 am

hi flosey and ruby and all.

9:26 am

bichon

hi Nef

9:26 am

flosey

how old is your grandson, Nef

9:28 am

rubyfoo

uh oh who could be at the door in this pouring ra**?

9:29 am

Nef

he will be 3 next month, flosey. He caught a bug and we've all been sick with it. His mom wasn't sleeping either and pretty much was incapable of caring for him; so DH and took him (she was going to call child protection until I said we would take him)

9:30 am

flosey

oh lovely, just a couple months older than mine.

9:30 am

flosey

but not so nice being sick

9:32 am

flosey

oh dear, hope all gets settled out soon

9:33 am

Nef

We discovered that when he was sick he became a nasty little devil. DH said that it was a good thing that there were 2 of us to handle him this week (our son has been working 14+ hours a week lately -busy season has started

9:36 am

flosey

wow, tough on all concerned, poor little tyke, they just don't understand the misery of being sick

9:37 am

Nef

grandson is back home now; we actually have a weekend "off" without him for a change! So how is everyone here? (I read about Scrabs father; how awful!)

9:37 am

ajsb

airted

9:38 am

what about Scrabs father - didn't hear

9:38 am

flosey

yes, apparently she was with him (I also just happened to read back yesterday)

9:38 am

flosey

he died, teach

9:38 am

Nef

he was in the hospital for something and she was with him; and he just died.

9:48 am

sprite

lol... I read you were going to have a grog and then shop. Now I get it.

9:48 am

flosey

might get in a few minutes between that and bridge this afternoon

9:48 am

flosey

that might help sprite

9:49 am

sprite

:D Yeah... groc. shopping isn't my favorite thing either.

9:49 am

flosey

9:49 am

sprite

bye dear flosey, have a good one

9:53 am

sprite

sorry teach, didn't see your message. Good job too!

9:54 am

kje

I love grocery shopping!... but then, I am only cooking for myself so don't have to worry about picky eaters and such... just whatever looks good

9:54 am

sprite

hi kje! I just hate the stores. Too many people. And too many choices. I don't do well with those.

9:56 am

kje

I have my fave stores... and mostly stick to the produce and seafood sections, but do get annoyed on busy shopping days like Saturdays when people are pushing those oversized carts around and leaving them in places it blocks the flow

9:56 am

Nef

DH loves grocery shopping but I hate it. He hasn't been able to do it lately; so I'm actully toying with the idea of grocery shopping online. Has anyone done that (ordering online and having it delivered)?

9:57 am

sprite

it is not so common here, Nef.

9:57 am

kje

nope, haven't done it nef.... let us know how it goes

9:57 am

spanner

Its really common here and I have done it

9:57 am

doseffing

... it can be a bit expensive ... and they tend to have "cut rate" brands ... at least in my experience ...

9:57 am

sprite

hi spanner, how did that go?

9:57 am

sprite

hi dos

9:57 am

kje

i love to cook, and cooking starts with selecting the groceries... so I love to grocery shop. It is all just the fun part of what will be created next

9:58 am

Nef

It costs more than going yourself (naturally); but I wonder about the fresh fruits and veggies: are they as fussy as we are about picking the freshest ones?

9:58 am

spanner

The only problem is when you order a particular make of wine in red and they dont have it and they send the same make but in white!

9:58 am

sprite

see that must be it. I don't like cooking either :)

9:59 am

doseffing

... yeah ... you must be careful with their "substitution" policy on anything ...

9:59 am

kje

and I am nutty enough to spread it over 3 sites - the farmers' market, central market, and whole foods, with the occasional butcher shop, cheese store, or bakery... it is like christmas

9:59 am

spanner

I use the service from the store I like to shop in so I know the qulity etc is good

9:59 am

Nef

kje, that might be why DH loves it so much (he loves to gourmet cook. I don't; I want a healthy, balanced meal that I can finish in less than half an hour

10:01 am

spanner

I live 16 miles from my favourite store so to factor in the time and price of fuel here (Â£1.50 a litre) it makes it cheaper and better for me to shop online

10:01 am

kje

yep, prob a good rule of thumb, if you love to cook you love to shop for it

10:01 am

sprite

must be nice to have your favo shop deliver online. We dont' have that here. Just the one online service.

10:02 am

spanner

I love cooking though. But I would rather spend the time actually cooking than traipsing to and from the shops!

10:02 am

sprite

spanner, you are just the exception to kje's rule :)

10:04 am

kje

best would be walking distance to small nearby shops that carry exactly what you want. I have stayed in paris in a friend's apt and there is a produce stand, butcher, rotisserie place, bakery, wine shop, cheese shop, fishmonger, all within a couple blocks... and even a larger grocer (for europe) just 6 easy walking blocks away. that was heaven... buy what you need for 1-2 days, always fresh, always good

10:05 am

sprite

that is what we do here, kje.

10:05 am

kje

I love that!

10:05 am

Nef

the only online service we have here (in my suburb) is one from a grocery store that isn't near us. It's supposed to be good; maybe I should just buy my own produce and online shop for the rest. I just don't know....

10:05 am

spanner

When I shop online I spend less as I am not tempted by other things and seduced by offers

10:05 am

spanner

When I shop online I spend less as I am not tempted by other things and seduced by offers

10:05 am

sprite

sounds good, Nef. You could try it once.

10:05 am

kje

I'm hoping when I move to find a place like that - at least in ref to the produce and fish

10:06 am

kje

there is that, spanner.... but here, most online shopping focuses on "aisle" food, less on fresh stuff

10:07 am

kje

nonsorted is not a word.... looked good on paper

10:07 am

Picklesny

nothing says you can't finish like 352

10:07 am

sprite

looks good to me too

10:08 am

Nef

the only thing within walking distance here is a pizza shop 3 blocks away; then a convenience store 1 1/2 miles away. This particular suburb doesn't have bus service any more either; it wasn't built for walking (no sidewalks, etc)

10:08 am

sprite

wow nef, that is inconvenient.

10:08 am

spanner

Well I am lucky in that respect - I grow most of my own veggies and some fruit and work a bartering system with neighbours. I keep ducks and chickens for eggs and meat, I bake my own bread and give the local farmer stuff in exchange for pork and lamb. Best friends hubby is a fly fisherman......

10:08 am

kje

that is the problem with most of the US, nef.... we are def a car society

10:09 am

sprite

wow spanner... that sounds like heaven to me

10:09 am

spanner

My nearest shop is 5 miles away. No bus route to the nearest town 8 miles away either!

10:09 am

sprite

hi Pickels, of course you can, if you want to

10:10 am

kje

wow spanner, that is awesome!

10:10 am

Nef

I'll try shopping for the heavy items and see how that goes. Spanner, having the ability to grow and barter sounds good! But you too have the inconvenient transportation..

10:11 am

spanner

It can be hard work but my hubby helps and my stepson is currently living with us as he is a recovering addict so it keeps him busy while I work, so I have some free time now ;)

10:11 am

Picklesny

certain motivation is the answer but i just seems like too much of a commitment to work that hard on anything that i just have to start again tomorrow

10:11 am

sprite

no need to do it, Pickles, if you feel like that :)

10:12 am

kje

pretty dog, spanner.... did you see the pics of the great dane that just won largest dog ever?

10:12 am

sprite

I hope it will help your stepson, spanner

10:12 am

spanner

But the ordering online of heavy goods is great

10:12 am

kje

his name is giant george

10:13 am

spanner

Sprite he gets better everyday - probably because there is nowhere to go!

10:13 am

Picklesny

on the other hand i can play with no pressure to finish to all good

10:13 am

spanner

Kje - I saw that - huge!

10:14 am

good grief... that is BIG

10:14 am

sprite

indeed, Pickles... play it any way that brings you fun

10:14 am

We plan to move closer to our son within the next year so we will be able to help more when needed. The kids live 35 miles away across the city; but with road construction this week; I made 3 trips down there and back and averaged round trips of 80 miles (city driving) each day.

10:53 am

hootowl

I cannot explain how I made the conection tho

10:54 am

rururocks

i have gay cousins

10:54 am

Kazzer99

here in uk its a slang term for a gay person

10:54 am

rururocks

I know everything gay..

10:54 am

Kazzer99

its a very old word

10:54 am

rururocks

it's a rude word I think

10:54 am

I found it, thank you. Weird word.

10:55 am

hootowl

I have known a lot of gays but never have they used that word. West coast thing?

10:55 am

hootowl

aaah- I see ty

10:56 am

Kazzer99

got the ep 7

10:56 am

sprite

this is what I find: "I decided to look for the etymology of the English word. According to my Collins dictionary, and various on-line sources, the word derives from the French "pouffe" meaning, not illogically "puff", possibly via theatrical slang for a young actor (nowt like stereotypes is there?). The derivative "po7" was first noted in 1911, in an Australian context."

10:57 am

sprite

Kazz, could you pls clue it for me?

10:58 am

Kazzer99

hmmm - ep plus 3rd vowel plus word which means to fawn over someone - its a word in the grid

sprite

thank you :)

11:39 am

remluc

It's PG-13 so it's not too gory.

I have a vivid imagination. Don't need gore to freak out at children killling. Argh.

4:28 pm

want a crash course? just try and patent something,just as long as it is an improvement on a old thing and not a new ting..first you will need 10,000 dollars

4:29 pm

oooh, good luck rbud! I try what I can to improve my yard, but, as I live on a giant stretch of glacier trash, the soil quality is very poor around here

4:33 pm

rbud, do you compost? We've been slowly improving our soil here for years by composting (when we moved in we had sod over clay; very little actual soil in between. Now we have a couple of inches--after 20 years.

4:33 pm

crosshair

my godfather live up north in a small town,used to be all outhouses and septic tanks.about 20 years ago the town got all modern and put town sewer and water in,then promptly banned all outhouses and storage type septic tanks..it cost him 40,000 dollars to blast through bedrock to run the new house water and sewer main to the nearest street for town hook up:(

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

dandelions sink low in the ground and help break stone

4:33 pm

try vines they seem to grow wherever you don't want

4:33 pm

that is not encouraging, nef. I have been composting like a madwoman....

This was about 10 years ago, and our little shiz-poo (she weighed about 10 pounds) just took one look at her, bared her teeth, and the big dog was on it's back with her belly exposed! It was so funny to see that big dog being so submissive to our tiny dog!

Jen, find someplace safer than under your bed. A bathtub is safer

5:07 pm

5:07 pm

it does work Nef. You can use it say for 4 days after sx, giving the wound a chance to heal...because of course the pt will re colonize... but is that not cool! plus we are getting these new no swab hubs...for all of our central lines. Its a good time to be IC.

5:09 pm

Nef

if you have a twin mattress, pull that over yourself in the tube

5:09 pm

Shirlockc

Hello all! I hope everyone is doing fi 4/7 today.I put my nose de4/5 in 4/4 the puzzle at no4/4 today and found 185 words. I am no way near do 4/5 and probably won't fi5/16h so here is a story I will po 4/5 in my profile. My husband and I are not po 4/5, but we aren't rich either. My husband & I have been struggling the past few years to keep a ro 4/7 over our heads ever since husband left his job 3 years ago. We have had to ra 6/18 the money I make for bills,food and gas.He finally got a cashier po 5/12ion at Home De 5/14. He hates working there and when he got the job, it did not bo5/14 his ego. He does not like anything about the job.He says the people who work there are a bo 4/6. He also says he hates his boss, Pe5/14. I re6/18 back to hubby that he should not be a snob. He also isn't happy with the money he ea4/4s. He makes just enough to put fo4/8 on the table. He comes home in a sn 4/4 ever day ra 4/4ing & raving in a nasty to 4/4 about his work. He always po 6/21 out that he is overqualified for his job. I find his tantrums over his job to be very tr5/10.One day I made it a po5/12 to tell my husband that he better not quit. I told husband, "I don't give a di 4/5 if you don't like your job.Quitting is not an op 6/21 now. Don't you dare pull the same st 5/10 you did before and dr4/6 this job, like you did the last one! If you do, I will stick my fo4/7 so far up your arse, you'll need surgery to get it out!" He st 5/10d at me like I was crazy. Money has been the ro4/4 of all our problems for many years. Unfortunately, our marriage has definitely been ta4/4ished.I have alot of things to so4/4 out, like if I should leave my hubby or not. Some days I just want to leave & go to to a tr4/5ical island somewhere. Other days I think that I should be a tr 5/12er&stick it out and hope for the best. After all, our vows were to love each other through good times and bad. I'm to4/4 over what I should do. Ra4/4! Hubby is being a do4/6 and is about to bo4/6 me off the computer.I'm going to move on4/4 something else like ir 4/4 some clothes. I hope that you have obta4/4ed more words wit this story. Didn't ed4/5 this story so there may be some mistakes. I will be back later on toni4/4 to help clue.Goodbye for now babblers

I kept a lot of the system that was in place (at my last job) when I started there. Now that I've retired; my replacement calls and asks "how did you do this?" and "Where do I find...?" I'm embarrassed to say that I just kept doing the old ways; but that was my only answer <blush>

5:20 pm

redturtlehead

Well...old ways work... Nef, how is your hip doing?

5:22 pm

Nef

very well, red. And DH was doing well; but fell a few days ago and has sciatica again. :-( He wasn't listening to my "be safe" mantra....

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

Glad you are well, adn hope DH gets to feeling better again soon....its hard to be safe all the time.

5:23 pm

Nef

how is your hip? (Is that why you took a day job?)

5:24 pm

crosshair

my sciatica drives me nuts:(( but nothing for it unless i end up crawling on all fours

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

My hip is doing well. the job was sort of a surprise. we had the bad IP person, then a brillant one for about 4 weeks, when she got into an argument with a doctor, bust out into tears and quit on the spot....so they decided to hire someone from within who knew the culture....even if I am not brillant and untrained!

5:24 pm

I'm running fairly well...

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

I saw you'd finished a race recently (on FB)

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

It feels fairly good...THe day job will maybe make it better, but I feel the need to do rounding 2-3 times a week through the hospital, and then I have to go wander about the outpatient areas... Blech! THe outpatient areas scare me!

5:27 pm

Nef

how many outpt. areas do you have?

5:28 pm

littlebit

ok...off to eat supper...be back later....take care of yourself jen!!

5:28 pm

redturtlehead

we have an ambulatory surgical center (which I want to monitor carefully, as we have to start reporting Surgical infections in Jan), several Doctors offices, the entire gym because we own it and have PT there....and then of course i keep forgetting about the Lab...

5:28 pm

JenMO16

the weather will be worse while i am sleeping! bye littlebit!

5:29 pm

redturtlehead

Take good Care Jen. Have you had these type of storms before?

5:29 pm

JenMO16

not this bad that they are expecting

5:30 pm

redturtlehead

well, consider if you need a shelter...

5:30 pm

JenMO16

my house is two sided by ditches

5:31 pm

Nef

Jen. make sure you and your family discuss safety plans. It's very important to have an evacuation plan where you will meet after the storm if you're separated

5:31 pm

JenMO16

ABC news is about to report the impending weather

5:31 pm

crosshair

i was caught in the tornado here in 1980.was not pretty.so make sure you and yours are safe jen

5:31 pm

JenMO16

nef, no one lives with me!

5:31 pm

Nef

I thought your parents were near?

5:32 pm

JenMO16

we are mainly on the outside of the strongest part of the storm

5:32 pm

JenMO16

across town nef

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

We have our share of severe weather but usually not tornados, just hurricane stuff....

5:32 pm

Nef

"someone" needs to know where you will be if a storm goes through and ruins your house. Otherwise they won't know if you're safe

5:34 pm

Nef

(I've been throughseveral tornadoes through the years. Our family always had a plan of where to go during the storms and where to meet afterwards

5:34 pm

JenMO16

i have a cell phone

5:34 pm

JenMO16

i am not going anywhere

5:34 pm

JenMO16

find me in the bathtub

5:35 pm

JenMO16

with computer in hand!

5:35 pm

JenMO16

or should i say laptop!

5:35 pm

Nef

where to go means safest part of the house: SW corner of the basement or well room; also if your cell phone tower is down that may not help

5:36 pm

Nef

GOOD plan, Jen! :-)

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

and let your Mom know, as I am sure she is already asking...

5:37 pm

JenMO16
