yeah it is. Seems that the ole dutchies thought that shaking up the liver was good for our health... by laughing. Guess it is related to the old fluid thing... melancholia, choleric, etc.

The Murder of the Century, then a long subtitle. It has several focuses (? foci) --a murder, immigrants, the NYPD, criminal forensics, and the development of rival newspapers--Joseph Pulitzer, W.R. Hearst, etc. Fascinating.

I think en 4/7 is a mistake

9:52 am

sensory playground sounds interesting to me ..

9:52 am

Silly Ruru

9:52 am

:D

9:53 am

MollyL

No en4/7, just en4/4

9:53 am

ivesy3

special made for autistic kids,not exactly sure what they have, but 2 schools will have one now

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Which schools, ivesy?

9:54 am

rururocks

one of my nephews is autistic

9:54 am

rururocks

I am stuck now.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Some of the kids at the Indian Reservation attend preschool in Fredonia.

9:54 am

rururocks

dang

9:55 am

Scrabbler

I have slowed down and am approaching halfway.

9:55 am

ivesy3

really.. small world .. !

9:55 am

MollyL

Nice clip TO, I love the xylophone. It sounds so magical.

9:56 am

ivesy3

they are doing great things ruru. my nephew is autistic. . guess the playgrounds have sand stations, water station, paint stations. supposed to calm them.

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, yes, tiki music...the blue hawaii helped set the mood as well. gotta love a 22 piece orchestra

9:57 am

Scrabbler

On this website (www.vitamindcouncil.org) go to Medical Conditions--->Neurologic---> Autism for a fascinating hypothesis on vitamin D deficiency (pre- and post-natal) as a cause for autism.

9:58 am

MollyL

*Goes to take Vitamin D supplement*

9:58 am

rururocks

that's really interesting scrabs

9:59 am

ivesy3

they are trying to prove diet is partly responsible. seeing that my nephews mother was a drug addict(sis is his adopted mother) and had mental problems makes us wonder. jayjay ws very premature. almost lost him a couple times in the first couple months

9:59 am

Scrabbler

I take 5000 IU/day from Oct-April, then 2000 IU/day the remainder of the year.

9:59 am

ivesy3

just started taking vit d.. have a defincency(sp)

10:00 am

MollyL

Interesting. Maybe I will up my dosage in those months.

10:00 am

ivesy3

and vit b.. i take that thru a nasal spray

10:01 am

MollyL

Ivesy, everyone I know is popping up Vitamin D deficient on their blood tests. Even people who are out in the sun a lot.

10:02 am

rururocks

I think I'm out in the sun just enough for my D

10:02 am

Nef

(I take 1000 IU of Vit D a day and my levels are high normal -- in MN winter, no less!

10:02 am

Scrabbler

The vitamin D deficiency theory makes more sense than any other I have read about. Think about what happened 20-25 yrs ago--dermatologists told us to avoid the sun, sunscreen use increased, etc. So we have vit D deficient mothers, with vit D deficient fetuses, then vit D deficient kids. Read about Somali immigrants in Sweden. Their kids are getting the "Swedish disease" = autism.

10:02 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Nef.

10:03 am

rururocks

wow.. scrabs

10:03 am

rururocks

makes sense

10:03 am

ivesy3

used to tan all the time . now just once in awhile. go back to tanning . ok vitd.. scare of skin cancer hmm

10:03 am

rururocks

I need one more word to get to list

10:04 am

Nef

I know, Scrabs. It doesn't make much sence, considering I wasn't out in the sun much at all last year due to illness and "bee sting" allergies (actually wasps and 2 typse of hornets)

10:04 am

Scrabbler

I need 5 to be halfway.

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

isn't the vitamin d in milk enough for kids?

10:05 am

MollyL

My doctor says you need at least 15 minutes in the sun per day, face and arms exposed. Believe it or not, most people don't get that, which I find sad.

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Nope, Owl.

10:05 am

Nef

Could I please have a clue for that left O? I've been loking for over an hour now without any success

10:06 am

it's what it is, Molly. MRI says pressure on his L4 & L5 nerve roots now; surgery in very near (possibly this week?) future. Same area as last 2 surgeries; new problem (he probably fell and doesn't remember it)

1:26 pm

Nef

And I updated my profile and forgot to save! I'm not ti4/4'd at all; nope....

1:30 pm

kje

last in8?

1:35 pm

negativeneil

in8,40 = i + opposite of yes + opposite of stand + first two letters of Spanish cheer.

1:35 pm

Minveryork

in 8/40 word is in plus **car the grouch plus he,she ** plus **d Macdonald had a farm kje.

1:35 pm

negativeneil

Ugh. That's a hard one to clue.

1:35 pm

Nef

kje, in+ vowel +not stand + **d (age)

1:36 pm

negativeneil

Gee. Everyone clues at once! Haha.

1:36 pm

Minveryork

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today

1:36 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

1:36 pm

Nef

LOL! All of us clued that same word in very different ways.

1:37 pm

negativeneil

Well thanks and you, Min? Hope the allergies are better?

1:37 pm

negativeneil

1:39 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Neil, but not yet. Saturday night I was up 'til 4:30 couging and blowing nose. So I went to a doctor yesterday to get more drugs.Was up again last night until 5:00. Better not have same problem tonight as I have to go back to work tomorrow.My allergies suck!

1:39 pm

Nef

mary, pl. the ship that sank in 1912 (with different ending)

1:39 pm

negativeneil

ti8,40 = plural of ti7,28. Warrior [Clash of the *****s] plus 2 vowels. Then pluralize it.

1:39 pm

negativeneil

Oh man, Min. That's rough. :(

1:40 pm

negativeneil

How will you be able to work like that... and on so little sleep? :(

1:40 pm

Nef

Lack of sleep is a killer, Min

1:40 pm

negativeneil

Sounds like you should seriously consider moving. To somewhere where you're not affected like that.

1:40 pm

negativeneil

Sure is Nef.

1:40 pm

Minveryork

Should have stayed up babbling. Would be done if I did

1:41 pm

Mary

ty neil

1:41 pm

sammysmom

min.. have you tried a netty pot?.... i have heard that a saline rinse is also good

1:42 pm

negativeneil

Neti pot. I know someone who uses one... wondered about trying it myself.

1:42 pm

Minveryork

No. I am hoping the drugs doctor gave me will kick in soon sammysmom. I go through this every single year

1:43 pm

kje

FW!

1:43 pm

negativeneil

Sounds like you need to move, Min.

1:43 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody have a clue for the fo 7/40 word please

1:43 pm

Nef

great suggestion, sammysmom. I can't stand water up my nose, so I use the saline nose sprays and it helps a lot (I use them *a lot* too!

1:43 pm

negativeneil

WTG kje.

1:43 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations kje on your fireworks! Good for you!

1:44 pm

Nef

fo7/40 is a type of cheese

1:44 pm

kje

italian cheese

1:44 pm

kje

like nef said

1:44 pm

Nef

YAY kje!!! WTG!!!

1:44 pm

Minveryork

That is a good idea, but it kills me to think I would let allergies make me move outo of my house that I love.

1:45 pm

negativeneil

fo7,40 = fo + consonant + Ms. Turner.

1:46 pm

negativeneil

Well you can make your home anywhere Min. But is it worth staying in an area that's making you so sick for a while every year? I don't know.

1:46 pm

kje

min - are you using nasal steroids? you should be starting several weeks before allergy season starts each year then maintaining through the season... something like flonase

1:46 pm

Nef

Min, the saline nasal spray bottles cost about $3.00 and aren't addicting either. The idea behind the neti pot and saline spray is that it clears the pollens out of your nasal passages and reduces the body's histamine reaction

1:46 pm

negativeneil

I guess you're on antihistamines, Min?

1:48 pm

Nef

flonase is very helpful; DH uses it when he's having problems too

1:48 pm

Minveryork

The doctor gave me an antibiotic,cough suppressant and Nasonex. Other people tell me to try local honey.

1:49 pm

kje

takes 1-2 weeks to hit max effect, but works well to cut down to use of other meds. But must be used properly, it doesn't work immediately and must be taken consistently to prevent mast cell build up

1:49 pm

Minveryork

Next year I am going to try taking local honey earlier

1:50 pm

kje

and next year, start the nasonex several weeks before allergy season starts

1:50 pm

kje

(I have tried te local honey thing... doesn't work)

1:51 pm

kje

though I love honey so eat it anyway

1:51 pm

Minveryork

I don't like the nasal sprays because when I take it,it tickles my nose and makes me sneeze. Then I sneeze out what I just sprayed. Kind of defeats the purpose.

1:53 pm

kje

but with time, you will get use to it, and it will shut down the allergen-immune pathway... stick with it min... hope you feel better soon

1:53 pm

JenMO16

that's me too, min! hi!

1:53 pm

Minveryork

I thought it wouldn't work either, but never know 'til you try.Thanks for letting me it doesn't work.I won't waste my time doing it. Guess I'll start sprays earlier.

1:53 pm

kje

must run, going swimming with my nephews

1:53 pm

Minveryork

very good clue, I thought.

hey all! how's the day? I am finally getting time to look at this again, down to 128 earlier.

5:38 pm

thanks for the i words I needed, btw

5:42 pm

stidmama

well done uncover!

5:43 pm

Uncover

lol, except for the 88 babblets of course

5:43 pm

stidmama

;-) ah, those babblets. they hide in the most inconvenient places!

5:44 pm

stidmama

it's like sand after a trip to the beach. they grit on you forever!

5:44 pm

Uncover

exactly!

5:47 pm

88 babblets?

5:48 pm

Uncover

well, that is kind of an approximation, could be slightly less, I suppose

5:48 pm

stidmama

hey red! how's the weather out your way?

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

gray and wet, very nice change, since its been so hot.

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

how are you all?

5:50 pm

stidmama

we are well -- getting a bit done, just taking a short break before working on food again. Trying to make a whole lot so maybe we have yummy leftovers for the week.

5:50 pm

Uncover

all well if you dont count a cold and a sore throat

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

Oh sorry uncover. Wash hands...

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

And yum on left overs. I spent hours today doing case studies Stid....hard to tell how long it will take the students to go through them.

5:51 pm

stidmama

LOL red! we just can't help ourselves can we? I was thinking "drink lots of juice and water"

5:52 pm

stidmama

Are you teaching directly, red? I am still not clear what your new job is!

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

I think that advice is better. I really am nuts about the hand washing. Sorry Uncover, it spills over!

5:52 pm

Uncover

is ok, I endorse the concept of prevention

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

My big job this year is to raise the flu vaccination rate. So far, its a not very fun uphill battle.

5:53 pm

stidmama

as a teacher, I am constantly asking the children to wash their hands -- at least three times a day the whole class hears "wash your hands" or sees me standing by with hand sanitizer. The truth is, I have sanitizer in the car and squirt it liberally every time I get in after teaching.

5:55 pm

MollyL

If you use hand sanitizer you should read up on tricolsan.

5:56 pm

stidmama

Oh, that explains your comment on my fb share today. I have a love-hate relationship with vaccinations. I had my kids vaccinated on schedule for everything, except the elder kid I didn't get his second measles because the first one made him so very ill -- measly, but a mild case. So he needed a booster before he went to Australia. Other than that, I really try to keep my kids up to date (and myself) because I know that in my grandmothers' and mother's days so many children were permanently disabled or died as a result of what are now preventable infections. I have smallpox scars where my vaccinations were, and I worry that my children and Tom are in danger if someone introduces a similar pox-like virus. I would be fine...

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

I do infection prevention Stid, It involves a lot of teaching, though...not exactly all teaching. I also get the joy of enforcing and making policy and wel..

5:57 pm

stidmama

The hand sanitizer I use is alcohol-based.

5:57 pm

redturtlehead

I was almost vax for smallpox, but they decided against it in the end, that and the TB vaccine, which I am glad I did not get...

5:58 pm

stidmama

I was very ill with chickenpox as a child, so my kids got the vaccination although I debated it a lot -- what if it wears off or what if it causes shingles later? but I decided that they can always get a booster, and getting chickenpox by itself can cause shingles.

5:59 pm

stidmama

red, how much of infection prevention is just reiterating the common-sense ideas of washing hands, not sharing drinks/food/needles, and staying home when ill?

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

I had to get the chicken pox vaccine and I had the chicken pox.

5:59 pm

6:00 pm

stidmama

oh! past halfway!

6:00 pm

stidmama

I would LOVE to see your word, viajes

6:00 pm

redturtlehead

Some of it is the common sense stuff, and then we also use surveillance to assess which antibiotics are being used, and if they are being used correctly.

6:01 pm

MollyL

Red, what do you think about the AMA recommending that that households do not use anti bacterial products as it contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistant bacterias.

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey stid.

6:01 pm

stidmama

ah, so you do a lot of CDC communications, I suppose? I have been looking periodically at our state's flu and pertussis pages, just to make sure I know what I am likely dealing with in various classrooms

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

if someone has not had chicken pox, would getting the vaccine put them at risk for shingles?

6:01 pm

redturtlehead

I think that it is appropriate, as there is almost no need for antibac in the home. I don't know that it has a huge effect though on antibiptic resistance.

6:01 pm

viajes

I do a ton of work with the CDC, reporting, and interaction. I had to actually get governmental clearance, which sort of freaked me out. I am a nurse you know, not a government person!

6:02 pm

redturtlehead

Yes and No TO. let me get you a link to the vaccine info sheet.

6:03 pm

stidmama

that was my question at the time, TO -- whether it would, but I think that it doesn't put them at greater risk at least

6:03 pm

I don't trust anti-bac soap...

redturtlehead

Hi Jeff.

6:05 pm

Jeff7

hey all

6:05 pm

redturtlehead

TO, you can get shingles from the vaccine, but it is then usually a very mild case. If you as an adult get chicken pox it can be very serious.

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok i will ask at my yearly physical

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

you never had Chicken Pox? THey could just draw a titer to check if you are immune.

6:07 pm

Uncover

I was young before all the vaccinations for stuff. Mom used to take us to visit folks who had measles, and mumps and chickenpox so we would get them out of the way when we were young

6:07 pm

viajes

That Robat is a proper noun though, Jeff... :)

6:07 pm

MollyL

I think people are over doing it with anti bacterial products. I can see using them in a hospital setting, but not anywhere else.

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

red, i think i would know. i waspanicked when my niece got them

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

my measles and mumps wer very mild cases. i never had rubella either.

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

unless you can get it without the rash

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

You can get it without a rash. Oddly, one thing I have discovered is that many Health care workers were found to have made antibodies to last years flu, but only about 1/4 of them recalled having a flu-like illness, so they were all out there spreading it...

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

TO I love your icon.

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i will ask him to add it to the bllodwork order then ty

6:12 pm

redturtlehead

I should not say it, but I really disliked getting that vaccine, I am sure it gave me all sorts of upleasant side effects, like dizziness, etc...but I had to have it for work.

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

dinner time, happy babbling all. red i have had them all - dpt, tetanus, rubella, smallpox,and the tb test. if there are ad effects i am a goner. also used hexochlorophene
