could you tell me the first letter of the 7, please?
5:11 am

thank you :D
5:15 am

cyberspace is eating up my posts. How's today treating you, BabbleRabble?
5:19 am
o-o
I am cranky and, unfortunately, at times obstreperous.
5:20 am
sprite
cranky I am well familiar with. Off to find out what the other one is :)
5:20 am
o-o
Dr_God said the server is being cranky too.
5:21 am
o-o
ob·strep·er·ous [ ob stréppərəss ]
noisy: noisily and aggressively boisterous
unruly: strongly objecting to something or noisily refusing to be controlled
Synonyms: disruptive, rowdy, disorderly, loud, noisy, undisciplined, unruly, rough
5:22 am
sprite
Noisily and stubbornly defiant. Are you really? Somehow I don't picture you loud :)
Ah, so the server is to blame.
5:22 am
o-o
I am by myself so the monitor takes the brunt of my moodiness
5:23 am
sprite
yeah... the tales monitors could tell if monitors could speak...
5:26 am

Each day reduces my lifespan .... eventually, I will have lived long enough to die.
5:27 am

too true. I hope many of those days will bring you some measure of comfort and happiness.

Thank you. I hope for your hope.

*kicks BabbleRabble's days carefully and tells them to behave*
5:33 am
o-o
Have you and Tim reached a better understanding?
5:35 am
sprite
it goes on and off. I think if you look at it objectively, we have. He wants to test his boundaries and his power and I make sure the boundaries are there and strong enough to give him his battles. But on the surface we struggle a lot.

Yep, we are into the cooler weather here too.

Flowers are good. That is what I miss the most when the warm weather is over.
6:53 am

the roses hang on, even though most of the leaves are gone
6:54 am
gramma
ruby, I have a silly rose bush that this year grew 9' tall. Should I cut it back? or move it to where it can do whatever it wants?
6:55 am
smores
surprised there aren't any Q's
6:55 am
rubyfoo
is it against a wall or trellis? I'm no expert, that's for sure, but I think they all have to be cut back, but it's still a little early
6:56 am
smores
wow gramma 9ft rose bush
6:56 am
rubyfoo
I never cut mine short enough but they are very hardy anyway. My one climber gets cut a couple of feet every year
6:57 am
gramma
It's against the house. It was attacking everyone on the patio/walkway, so I tied it up.
6:57 am
rubyfoo
is anybody an expert on fig trees?
6:57 am
smores
morning BR
6:57 am
o-o
Hello, smores
6:57 am
rubyfoo
if it's tied up, then I think you need only to even off the top
6:57 am
gramma
I've never even seen one
6:58 am
Sandieangel
Hi does anyone know if there is a list today please?
6:58 am
rubyfoo
my climber is very tall
6:58 am
MollyL
I have Dee's list in my profile.
6:58 am
gramma
Oh ok. I'll give it a try. Fall or spring?
6:58 am
Sandieangel
Thanks Molly. I'll have a look.
6:59 am
rubyfoo
my fig tree is about 18 yrs old (was 5 ft tall when we planted it 15 yrs ago). It sprouted this year and then got hit by frost and I thought it was a goner. The ends of all the branches (and it's huge) are dead, but it produced many figs which fell of before ripening.
6:59 am
rubyfoo
My qestion is, does it have to be harshly pruned and, if so, when?
7:00 am
rubyfoo
I think people cut them back, mainly deadheading, in the fall and then, again, in spring
7:00 am
rubyfoo
roses, that is
7:00 am
gramma
We had a sad apple crop this year also. Hail 3 times, twice in one day, frost at bloom and high winds took branches. :(
7:01 am
rubyfoo
very few apples and NO plums on either tree this year. Weird weather
7:01 am
gramma
We picked (by thay I mean, my husband picked) about 7 bushels
7:02 am
rubyfoo
from how many trees?
7:03 am
rubyfoo
that's an orchard! I just have one of this, one of that, as far as trees
7:05 am
gramma
We used to have an orchard 25 acres. We moved here and my husband found some old trees and has worked very hard to bring them back. Last year he grafted other varieties on the branches. Next year or the following, we will have 15 dif. kinds
7:06 am
rubyfoo
that is amazing! it's great that your husband was able to bring them back to life. I imagine the old varieties are interesting
7:07 am
gramma
We made cider last weekend w/the grands. This was the 1st year they actually really helped. It was so much fun
7:07 am
rubyfoo
since this is my first garden, it has been a huge learning experience and although it's quite handsome, I still have made many mistakes
7:08 am
rubyfoo
what a lovely thing to do with the grands
7:08 am
gramma
You will make mistakes every year if you just keep trying
7:08 am
MollyL
The potager. : D
7:08 am
rubyfoo
yes, molly, you know about my potager!!
7:11 am
o-o
A kitchen garden?
7:12 am
rubyfoo
a small vegetable garden but, unfortunately, no so near the kitchen
7:13 am
gramma
I have a small one at our cottage. Out of onions, lettuce, herbs, etc. Just walk out the door. No need to go inlanmd to town. Summer is to short to be grocery shopping
7:13 am
rubyfoo
on the deck next to the kitchen, I grow herbs as well as flowers
7:14 am
rubyfoo
the potager is for strawberries, raspberries and tomatoes
7:14 am
rubyfoo
berry bushes are around the periphery of the bottom garden
7:14 am
rubyfoo
(we are on a hillside, it's much less grand than it sounds)
7:15 am
gramma
We keep our berries away from the garden. They are way too prolific
7:15 am
rubyfoo
I had big plans of making a mosaic garden bench, a la Gaudi, this summer, but never got around to it....lazy bones
7:15 am
rubyfoo
how much jam do you make?
7:16 am

I don't. We eat all summer and fall and then I freeze them
7:17 am

I make currant jelly, which is way too much work, but I save it for January

The raspberries will produce 2 big crops. So be careful what you plant. The grands used to run out in the morning and come back w/stained smiles. Now we can't keep up.
7:18 am

I was diagnosed yesterday with a right ear infection, fluid in my left ear, a sinus infection, allergies and a cold. Is this possible? Am I really THAT lucky?
9:08 am
medusa
thanks annie
9:11 am
Scrabbler
Well, a cold is a viral sinus infection and will last 10-14 days. If symptoms persist longer then a bacterial sinusitis is possible and the use of antibiotics must be considered. Allergic rhinitis is common. A middle ear infection will cause persistent pain. So plugging, fullness, pressure, popping of the ear(s) just means the Eustachian tube is plugged, not a true infection.
9:11 am
Scrabbler
What I mean about nasal allergies is that many people have that as a seasonal or year-round problem.
9:11 am
car.eeyore
I am on amoxicillin for 10 days and ProAir
9:12 am
Scrabbler
How long have you been ill and what symptoms have you had?

Nasal steroid or nasal antihistamine sprays are far more effective than an oral antihistamine.
9:13 am

Coughing? Ear pain? And how long have you been ill?

Coughing with extremly tight bronchial tubes. Shooting spasmodic ear pain that traveled over two days up my head and where it was happening my hair now hurts. My nose is horribly stuffy for a couple of days and then I will have 1 or 2 days of relatively relief and then it starts all over again.

9:24 am
Scrabbler
Car, you need a nasal steroid spray, e.g. Nasonex or Flonase, or a nasal antihistamine, e.g. Patanase or Astelin.
9:25 am
car.eeyore
Zack has Nasonex. Shouuld I use that too?
9:25 am

You really shouldn't share that as the nozzle is placed into the nose

I'm not a doctor, but are you by any chance allergic to ragweed? Because September/October are awful for me, the ragweed really does a number on me and neither my inhaler nor my antihistamines help any

TO, have you been tested for all the usual things? Frank spent much of his adult life being told he needed to relax more, turned out he has celiac (or some similar gluten sensitivity)
9:38 am
72 Temple Owl
seriously. the only stress was deciding what to do last night with three things possible. if that is the cause might as well join the nunnery now.
9:38 am
Scrabbler
But everyday life is stressful.
9:39 am
72 Temple Owl
yes sue
9:39 am
car.eeyore
I am not getting the DA fish.
9:39 am
uusue2
if he eats gluten the symptoms last for 2-3 days, which made it hard to figure out

Crossy - I graduated that way. My parents made me (grudgingly) participate in the graduation ceremony. So we've got tons of proud momma and papa pics. Plus, I got to use that free semester for working, learning how to be an adult, and going abroad for experiences. It was really wonderful.

i have the sh 8 , what is the other 8 please?
12:47 pm

i have never cared about graduations. still dont. my son and daughter in law want me to come to theirs this dec. and i am not looking forward to it. they are getting mba degrees at booth school, the business school at univ. of chicago and they are both very happy about it. for me the pomp and ceremony are all so fake and costly.
12:48 pm
crosshair
yes balletslippers.we also will give crossy jr the free semester as well if he chooses to go that way
12:49 pm

I don't care about the ceremony either, but we do it for those that do. For my mother, it was a huge deal. Very special, especially since the other child didn't graduate high school.

nope, not easy at all. He is saying that the work from this week shouldn't count, and I agree (he was sick at the beginning of the week), but last week's work, when he wasn't sick is another story. I hope that at some point he will come around.

My little Buffy was a mutt-a-poo and she had a sharp bark, but only used it when there was someone in the driveway or door. She was my "stranger alarm" and knew to stop as soon as I said "thank you." I always felt safe when she was with us.
3:55 pm
stidmama
Other than that, she rarely used her voice.

why is anything important bugsaw? wy did mr hillary climb everest? why did shackleton try for the arctic passage,why go to the moon? because it is there to be done
6:06 pm

ok, so it is a guy thing then. Mr Bugs was impressed too
6:06 pm

why break the speed of sound in a plane? why did the thrust sst break the land speed record?
6:07 pm
Bugsaw
Why didn't he spend the money that went into this to help end homelessness or fund a rehab centre for people with addictions or.........................
6:08 pm
crosshair
not quite.putting a man on the moon may have been a "guy" thing at the time but it and the discoveries derrived from it and everything we as humans have done in space have impacted the way everyone on earth live their lives
6:08 pm
uusue2
actually, besides the golly gee whiz factor, there was some scientific point - they are trying to figure out if astronauts can survive accidents, and if so what kind of suits would they need
6:08 pm
uusue2
might have saved the Challenger crew
6:08 pm
Bugsaw
THAT makes sense to me uusue. Thanks
6:08 pm

you know what i am getting at here sue
6:09 pm

so that fellow was actually brave not just an idiot. I stand corrected
6:09 pm

however it is also a cool stunt :-)
6:09 pm

all these "guy" things often have things that end up being for the good of all
6:09 pm

guy thing...lol
6:09 pm
crosshair
do you use duct tape bugsaw? thank the space program
6:09 pm
uusue2
"all" might be pushing it a bit, crossy, I've seen some pretty pointless stunts
6:10 pm
Bugsaw
Mr Bugs was not impressed by that either crossy.
6:10 pm
crosshair
well yes there are many.making the largest burrito or other things of that ilk do not do much in the way of helping man kind
6:10 pm
uusue2
hey, bugs, say hi to Mr. bugs for me :-)
6:11 pm

I was thinking that too uusue. Not for the good of all but for the good of a chosen few whose lives are no less valuable than anyone elses

I'm not sure how crossing the Niagara river on a tightrope could have other possible benefits, but I do see how jumping from the limits of space might, information-wise. (hello, btw! quick peek in and out while one kid is on the soak cycle.)

ok.think i will let this go. for now..
6:11 pm

I think we are all in agreement, crossy...
6:12 pm

the u.s and the 1 trillion dollars they spend on way could be usefull elsewhere as well i am thinking
6:12 pm

I will sue. He is happy with all the work he got done in our dry spell. I am happy now he is in the back yard in the shop instead of accross town
6:12 pm
uusue2
sounds good, bugs!
6:12 pm
crosshair
i am glad we agree
6:12 pm

and crossy, one of my great regrets was that I was not able to become an astronaut
6:13 pm
Bugsaw
I agree too crossy now that I understand the point
6:13 pm
crosshair
sue,you would of kicked ass as an astronaut
6:13 pm
uusue2
yeah, except I am too nearsighted, bummer
6:14 pm
uusue2
I looked into it when they started sending up scientific specialists but even then your vision had to be at least 20/200 without glasses (presumably so you could find your glasses if they floated away) and mine is not
6:15 pm
Bugsaw
bummer for sure
6:15 pm
crosshair
yup.lots of good things happen from these adventures.same with the deep dive just done on the mariana trench
6:16 pm

oh well - I did different cool stuff. CERN was pretty awesome.
6:16 pm

they will be analyzing data from that for ten years
6:17 pm

at least, crossy!
6:17 pm

oh crossy,this might interest you - I have a graduate student who is doing his thesis on proton radiation therapy for cancer
6:17 pm
crosshair
very good!
6:17 pm
uusue2
he is looking at how machining errors in the custom absorbers affect the dose
6:18 pm
crosshair
and those comsumer virgin space flights that are in the works are exciting as all heck
6:18 pm
crosshair
it is a kid just like that who will hit on things like non-nauseous chemo
6:20 pm
crosshair
imagine full course of chemo with zero nausea!
6:21 pm
uusue2
that would be awesome, crossy! (I remember my mom having chemo 40 years ago, it was pretty brutal back then)
6:21 pm
crosshair
and pinpoint accurate dosing so you need no longer poison the entire body to kill the cancer
6:21 pm
crosshair
it is still brutal suze
6:21 pm
uusue2
yes, proton therapy has the potential to do that, crossy, it is really expensive though
6:22 pm
uusue2
and I know it is, crossy, my sister did it too (about 20 years ago) but it was even worse back then
6:22 pm
uusue2
our friend Dennis decided to skip the chemo since it didn't look like it was going to buy him enough time to be worth it
6:23 pm
crosshair
one of my cancers(seminoma) would of killed me in 1970 it had a 90% fatality rate in stage 3 or beyond.we progress every day

6:25 pm

cervical cancer
6:25 pm
crosshair
yes1 we make great strides
6:28 pm

oh bugsaw,another result of the space program is the development of "frictionless" ball berings that we learned to make in zero grav conditions so they are perfectly round and impact many things you see or use every day

6:45 pm
nrkii
I am having the worst craving for pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
6:45 pm
nrkii
I think I've mentioned them twice already in the chog in the last 24 hours. I should just go ahead and bake them already.
6:46 pm
crosshair
the fact that there are such things as chocolate/pumpkin muffins is amazing in of itself lol
6:46 pm

7:34 pm

On the other hand Jilly, once you get past the price tag, think of what joy a new computer will bring. I was shocked at how much more I liked my current laptop than the one before it, which was about 5 years old also.
7:36 pm
nrkii
I really need to tear myself away from the computer soon. I have a table full of craft materials that have been waiting for my attention for a week.
7:36 pm
Jillyjill
I am a little excited to try Window 8....still have Vista on this one, just gets a little pricey as I need to have the professional office suite...but will wait until some of the Christmas sales start, then will have my #1 son help transfer everything when he's home over Christmas break.
