12:37 am

cosdem

12:47 am

12:47 am

grannyrose

might have to sic anike onto you.

12:47 am

grannyrose

funny strange. was it planned?

12:48 am

vanillaslice

both in hellish pain

12:48 am

vanillaslice

not planned for the same day but when it happened they asked for both in the same 2 bed ward

12:48 am

grannyrose

cos....that's scary. and you have just justified my hubby's opinion on FB.

12:49 am

grannyrose

yup, vanilla, been there...just recently as a matter of fact.

12:49 am

cosdem

oh i really dont care lol i dont store personal info

12:49 am

cosdem

just a nuisance

12:50 am

vanillaslice

the doc warned her no pain no gain and he was more than right apparently

12:51 am

grannyrose

hate that phrase. the next one who says that to me, had better have their running shoes on, or duck VERY quickly.

12:52 am

grannyrose

a total knee replacement is one of the most painful forms of ortho surgery. i had a GA, spinal and a femoral nerve block for mine. and i still emptied my PCA.

12:52 am

vanillaslice

he said that physios don't want patients to have pain but forcing the knee in the first days will make things much better in the long run

12:54 am

vanillaslice

my wife didn't ahev a ga because of heart valve problems

12:54 am

grannyrose

he's right, vanilla. i set up my physio routine whist i was still in hospital. when i came home i just kept it happening.

12:55 am

vanillaslice

we could have some fun and games for a while then when she comes home

12:55 am

PAV3

12:55 am

7:20 am

Mom

Nancy, where do you live?

7:21 am

NANCY

My kids make fun of my addiction but it doesn't bother me at all.

7:21 am

Mom

7:21 am

NANCY

I live in Florida and we are all currently awaiting Isaac and some big storms.

7:23 am

Mom

thanks, Andrew

7:23 am

NANCY

When Florida gets a storm, it impacts the whole peninsula no matter where it actually hits. I live on the ocean side south of the cape where all the space shuttles lifted off.

Fo6/27 sounds like another word for wooded area.

7:30 am

Mom

hi JeeWhiz

7:30 am

doseffing

... fo ... a place with lots of trees but change the last vowel and lose the s

7:30 am

JeeWhiz

Hi Mom.

7:30 am

sami1986

thank u again!!

7:31 am

Mom

thanks JeeWhiz and Doseffing

JeeWhiz

7:33 am

Mom

Jee, I have a picture of myself in the same pose. How old are you in the picture?

7:34 am

JeeWhiz

2 years old I think. Probably around 1961. Are you my age too?

7:35 am

Mom

I am 4 in my picture. take the same year. I was born in 1957

7:35 am

JeeWhiz

7:36 am

7:37 am

IFF

what are the little white numbers under the letters in the grid for?

7:37 am

hurshy

point

7:38 am

hurshy

s

7:38 am

Mom

Hi IFF, they tell you how many words come off that letter

7:38 am

Anniebrook

Mom, I believe that is the value of the letter

7:38 am

hurshy

four letter words are worth the point values straight off the tiles. fives are x2, sixes x3, and so on.

7:38 am

Mom

I misunderstood. Thanks Hurshy

7:39 am

Mom

and Annie

7:39 am

hurshy

if you use a list to help you find words, words are listed by length and point total, and knowing how many points helps you look for the word.

7:39 am

hurshy

lickety's babble clues, link below, provides a fill-in list as well as a printable version, most days

7:40 am

hurshy

when lickety does not post, sooner or later someone else who has solved the grid puts up a list on babblers anonymous, link below, or in their profile.

7:42 am

Mom

JeeWhiz, refresh and I should be there

7:43 am

hurshy

lists are helpful because it turns out there are many words in the dictionary which not many people have heard of. some of these, short ones, come up a lot, and we call those "babblets". you get used to them.

7:46 am

hurshy

we also ask each other for clues. when you aren't yet using a list, you might ask for the stats for something in particular, like, say, what's that lone E in the third row? when you have the list, if you're still stuck, you might say, clue for the fo6/27?

7:48 am

hurshy

we try not to use the day's grid words in chat, unless they are really common, like "that" or something.

7:48 am

hurshy

gosh i could go on all day, somebody stop me

7:48 am

Anniebrook

STOP!

7:49 am

hurshy

thank you.

7:49 am

Anniebrook

LOL, youre welcome

ShadowHyrst

Ummm...question for you experienced Babblers. even though I had finished about ten grids, my 'standing score' neve went up--when I didn't play a game [yesterday] my standings went down a point. What is going on, and why not upward movement, but there is a downward movement?

9:36 am

carleekat

you have to do abut 30 in a row...finished... in order to significantly move up...

9:36 am

carleekat

( good god i would hate to see my standings now..i think i finish about 20 a year now)

9:39 am

car.eeyore

eg 5/14

9:39 am

car.eeyore

Its like your GPA...it crashes very easily, but takes forever to bring it back up!

9:39 am

ShadowHyrst

carleekat--sequentially, or just 30 or so, no matter if a few were skipped along the way? It is interesting that the supposed forumula doesn't seem to apply [as I read it]--it is just a curiosity for me...thanks

'Real Life' has been interfering with my Babbling recently. But it's always delightful to login and find Babble friends! :-)

3:34 pm

stidmama

thanks soodles -- haven't been on at the same time as you for a while -- hope you are well and your family also?

3:35 pm

Soodle

Stid, the kids are happy and healthy, and what else could a mom ask for? Life is good!! And you?

3:36 pm

stidmama

:-) SAME here! And my house is only halfway a disaster zone, so I am content. Next summer, I will get it down to a quarter of a disaster. And you should see my garden! It's lovely again. Well, mostly lovely.

Control freaks and the herd mentality.

3:50 pm

stidmama

nvm, got that E, now trying to find the E on the bottom...

3:59 pm

Soodle

I always enjoy BabbleRabbles profile words. I hope he is not annoyed by us.

4:00 pm

stidmama

no, I think he just operates on a different time-scale. He's a funny guy

4:02 pm

Soodle

I'm very very fond of BR. I would hate to think i upset him in any way.

4:03 pm

stidmama

He's not upset. He's very good at defending himself when he is. :-)

4:04 pm

stidmama

I am feeling tired... and getting almost nothing done that I had thought I would today.

4:05 pm

Soodle

Meh!! Thats a bummer Stid.

4:07 pm

stidmama

it's okay -- I think I am feeling nervous about the upcoming school year -- no permanent job, so looking like I will be subbing again. Which isn't horrible, just unpredictable. And I am not fond of unpredictable.

otherwise, I think things are okay for now.

4:21 pm

Soodle

No Molly. The trailer was a tantalizer.... But I will be watching that space. You will be the first to know. I promise.

4:22 pm

MollyL

Ooo, just watched the Downton trailer. Thank God for Shirley MacLaine. She's putting a barb in anti-American bashing. : D

4:22 pm

cybernan

I wish we could get Downton Abbey here -- watched last winter when we were in CA and quite enjoyed it

4:22 pm

MollyL

I heard something about January, but not sure what date.

4:23 pm

Soodle

No way CH?!!! I live inMeath! When are you guys coming?

4:25 pm

ch1212

We are long-term planning for 2 years out. My greatXgreat grandfather came from Meath County in 1630 with his two brothers. I'm told all the Durkees in North America descended from one of those three.

4:26 pm

Soodle

I'd say we will get Series 3 late Autumn (Fall) here. I regard it as my duty to keep interested Babblers informed!

4:26 pm

ch1212

I want to learn some gaelic too. Beloved speaks Italian, Spanish, and English fluently, so I think I should learn my own language before we arrive :)

4:29 pm

cybernan

learn to like warm beer while you are at it!

4:29 pm

MollyL

<--Gags at the thought of warm beer

4:29 pm

Ch. my email address is inmy profile. Please keep in touch about your trip. I will be happy to give you a crash course in Phonetic Gaelic. And maybe even a minor Babble meet?.......

how it is served in the UK

4:30 pm

I've heard that, cy. (privately agreeing with Molly)
Sounds like a plan, soodle! My em is in my profile too.

4:31 pm

Nan, Nan, Nan . Never ever confuse alcohol in the UK with alcohol in Ireland. Really.

4:32 pm

it was the same all over - Scotland too

4:32 pm

ch1212

We do like Irish whiskey, room temp :)

4:32 pm

Soodle

I beg to differ!

4:34 pm

cybernan

I suppose there are some pubs where you can get beer American style -- but the traditional pubs keep their kegs in the cellar and the beer is hand pumped to the bar (no electronics, no co2

your menus are always so creative - i envy your family at those meals

6:31 pm

i enjoy cooking as the mrs cannot see well enough and i think,tbh,i do it all just to hear her exclaim how nice it is,how good it tastes or how pretty it looks.if it was just me alone,i would eat any old thing

6:35 pm

wvteach

we trade off - tonight i was last home so DH did the cooking - have two grown sons and taught them. encouraged them to also enjoy cooking

6:36 pm

crosshair

yes,all fellas should learn to cook well as it has side benefits..when i was first dating my mrs,we were snuggling on the couch and i suavly asked "how do you like your eggs in the morning? : and she said " unfertilized" so i knew i had to make my breakfasts as good as i could to get her to stay over lol

6:38 pm

wvteach

my youngest son does most of the cooking in their house - DIL often works late and also doesn't really cook

6:41 pm

crosshair

my poor mrs,her vision is stuck at 20/400 and i do not mind cooking.when it looked like she was going to lose the last of her sight a few years ago,i took the entire fall off and we spent all our time driving in the mountains,seeing everything there is to see,so it could be firmly fixed in her minds eye if i had to be her eyes after that,but were we fortunate and her eyes hold at this level and i cook for her anythime

6:41 pm

crosshair

anyways i blather on,should be hunting for words

6:42 pm

wvteach

but what a wonderful time that fall must have been for you two

6:42 pm

6:45 pm

crosshair

it was amazing,i showed her deer,wild turkeys,rivers dancing over the rock beds and falling in a fine mist to the lower pools,i showed her rock caves and spots deep down where there was still ice from last winter,i showed her all the trees and the vibrant colours of the fall display,i took her canoeing and she was able to see the mist burning off the still waters at dawn with the sound of loons calling in the distance,i took her kayaking over 18th century wrecks just below the surface of greorgian bay..was a good year...

6:46 pm

what wonderful memories to hold on to
