Here is part of one article about the negative history of left-handedness: left-handed people have been considered unlucky or even malicious for their difference by the right-handed majority.

In many European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper". Throughout history, being left-handed was considered negative. The Latin word sinistra meant "left" as well as "unlucky" and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister.'

There are many negative connotations associated with the phrase "left-handed": clumsy, awkward, unlucky, insincere, sinister, malicious, and so on. A "left-handed compliment" is considered one that is unflattering or dismissive in meaning. In French, gauche means both "left" and "awkward" or "clumsy", while droit(e) (cognate to English direct and related to "adroit") means both "right" and "straight", as well as "law" and the legal sense of "right". The name "Dexter" derives from the Latin for "right", as does the word "dexterity" meaning manual skill. As these are all very old words, they would tend to support theories indicating that the predominance of right-handedness is an extremely old phenomenon.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

hang on might have a gluten free brownie recipe

1:43 am

flosey

it's too late Dee, can't do anymore tonight - needed by 9:30 tomorrow morning

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

This only takes 35 min to bake

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

Ingredients:

5 ounces high quality 60-70% cocoa dark chocolate
1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 organic free-range eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla*

Optional:

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired
Dark chocolate chips for the top, if desired

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350ÂºF. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, gently stirring. (Or melt in a microwave safe measuring cup and stir together to combine.)

In a mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar, almond meal, sorghum flour, fine sea salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center and add the beaten eggs, vanilla extract and melted dark chocolate mixture. Beat on low-medium for two minutes, until the batter begins to come together. At first it will seem thin, like cake batter, but keep beating until it thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.

If you are adding nuts, stir in the nuts by hand and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Even out the batter with a silicone spatula.

Stud the top with some dark chocolate chips and press in slightly.

Bake in the center of a preheated 350ÂºF oven for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set. The top will crack, like a flourless chocolate cake.

Cool on a wire rack; and remove the cooled brownies from the pan by gripping the foil edges and lifting the brownies out as a whole.

Chill for an hour before cutting. (Though warm and gooey is really divine, if you don't mind them falling apart.)

Yield: 16 servings

*For chocolate-mint brownies use 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

negativeneil

Baaah. :P

2:35 am

negativeneil

Hey there, Lizlin.

3:02 am

gapeach

It is 4:05AM here. I have my sleep habits turned around....So far I've lost 3 summers. LOL

3:03 am

Lizlin

Lol - no way would I be awake enough even were I up at 4 am!

3:05 am

gapeach

It seems that the later it gets, the more awake I am. It's really difficult trying to get evening appointments.

3:06 am

Lizlin

I guess you just learn to cope with whatever hours you keep

3:06 am

Lizlin

Slim

3:06 am

Lizlin

Sorry

3:35 am

lynxxx

3:37 am

Lizlin

3:37 am

Lizlin

Someone who is very very well bred might be called p...

3:38 am

Kazzer99

3:38 am

Lizlin

3:46 am

Lord Jono

Brisvegas

3:49 am

grannyrose

jono, don't think i have met you, welcome to babble.

3:49 am

Lizlin

Hi Jono

3:49 am

negativeneil

Huh. Newborn baby boys get taken to Vegas for THAT now? Wow... who knew?

3:50 am

Lizlin

Hi neil

3:50 am

negativeneil

Hi Lizlin.

3:50 am

Lord Jono

hey guys

3:51 am

grannyrose

where do you hail from, jono?

3:51 am

Lord Jono

am on here every now and then

3:51 am

Lord Jono

brisbane

3:52 am

Lord Jono

I spend a fair bit more time on wordsplay (boggle) though

3:52 am

grannyrose

ooh, another banana-bender. like dizgranny

3:53 am

Lord Jono

where abouts in Aus are you?

3:53 am

Lizlin

I love Aussie insults!

3:53 am

negativeneil

Ha.

3:53 am

Lord Jono

:-)

3:53 am

Lord Jono

got that right - I'm not a fan of bananas - one of a few things I don't eat

3:54 am

grannyrose

melbourne, jono. where you never know what the weather is going to be.

3:54 am

Lord Jono

do you follow afl

3:57 am

grannyrose

don't start me, jono. my team couldn't hold onto the ball in the grand final. aagghh!!!

3:58 am

Lord Jono

oh no...

3:58 am

Lord Jono

my auntie's favorite team is Hawthorne too

3:59 am

Lord Jono

I have always followed Essendon - from before there was a Brissy team - don't have too much time now though to watch footy

4:02 am

grannyrose

lol, jono, our family was pretty equally divided between essendon and hawthorn, with mum the odd one out. she backs carlton.

4:03 am

Lord Jono

:-) oh no, not carlton, I think them and the demons are my least favourites

4:04 am

grannyrose

i think that's why she does it. to get a rise out of the rest of us.

4:05 am

Lizlin

I'm just learning about afl. Is there great rivalry between those 3 teams?

4:06 am

Lizlin

The Suns seem pretty rubbishy!

4:06 am

Lord Jono

I guess there is a lot between the melbourne teams - as they've been in the game a lot longer - the other team that we all love to hate is collingwood

4:06 am

grannyrose

lol, only in our family. traditionally everyone hates collingwood. except collingwood supporters.

4:07 am

grannyrose

snap, jono

4:07 am

Lord Jono

:-)

4:07 am

negativeneil

*clueless*

4:08 am

Lizlin

I learnt that early on. There are lots of collingwood supporters in my hubby's family - so we bought our nephew from Melbourne a maroon stubby holder for his 18 th! Not a happy boy!

4:09 am

grannyrose

s'okay Neil. when you and your fellow americans start discussing politics and your sports, a lot of us over here have trouble following the chog.

4:09 am

Lizlin

Neil I'm almost as clueless but know more about uk soccer!

4:09 am

Lord Jono

worth the price of admission alone :-)

4:10 am

Lizlin

True granny

4:10 am

negativeneil

That's why I don't usually discuss politics in the chog. And sports? I don't really discuss anywhere.

4:11 am

negativeneil

Well that's one reason anyway. ;)

4:11 am

Lord Jono

sorry neil, us vegemites will lapse back into real conversation soon

4:11 am

Lord Jono

so where in the US do you live?

4:13 am

negativeneil

Haha. It's ok! ;)

4:13 am

negativeneil

My location is on profile.

4:14 am

Lord Jono

cool

4:15 am

Lord Jono

it says you're into photography - what sort of camera do you have?

4:15 am

Lizlin

Off for dinner - have a good day / evening

4:15 am

Lord Jono

have a good night

4:16 am

grannyrose

later, liz. enjoy

4:17 am

negativeneil

Canon EOS 7D.

4:18 am

Lord Jono

cool

4:19 am

negativeneil

Yep. It works well. :)

4:19 am

Lord Jono

I'm sure it does, they are a very nice camera - my father in law has two.

4:20 am

negativeneil

I see.

4:21 am

Shallow One

one for each eye? HI guys ;)

4:21 am

negativeneil

I have photos of it... taken by my g/f, with her Canon Powershot 595, haha.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

hello; it just took me 25 minutes to get in here!

4:21 am

negativeneil

Ha. Hi Shallow One and rubyfoo.

4:21 am

negativeneil

Why would it take 25 minutes to log in?

4:22 am

Shallow One

the internet can be quite a maze (ing), ruby

4:22 am

negativeneil

Ugh. You should've been here earlielr when ru and I got punning. :P

4:22 am

Shallow One

<- bearhugs (neal)

4:22 am

grannyrose

hello {{{ruby}}} and shallow. ruby? how goes it, hun?

4:22 am

Shallow One

oh, ruru, yes ...

4:23 am

negativeneil

Check the backchog at 2.22 am.

4:23 am

negativeneil

I'm "Neil", Shallow One... not "Neal".

4:23 am

rubyfoo

4:23 am

rubyfoo

and hello shallow

4:23 am

Shallow One

i will, wasnt in there for hints yet, got 203 and think i slowly need them

4:23 am

negativeneil

Or should I just call you Matt?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

and Neil (spelled correctly)

4:24 am

Shallow One

of course you may, Neil

4:24 am

negativeneil

Yes... thank you, rubyfoo. ;)

4:24 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves "real" (i.e. European football. Never liked the American game.

4:25 am

Shallow One

its just my fingers, neil they often seem to work apart from my brain - or i have a specific dylexia limited to your name

4:25 am

negativeneil

Why do you use the name "Shallow One" on here anyway, Matt? Been wondering about that.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

but I am distraught over what has happened with Lance and the whole bicycle racing thing. Even White, the Australian who rode with Lance, got affected!

4:25 am

negativeneil

Haha. Well "Neal" is an awful (mis)spelling.

4:26 am

grannyrose

i know, ruby. but the sport does have to be cleaned up. no other sport is allowed to get away with it.

4:27 am

grannyrose

Neil...how about kneel??

4:27 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, no.

4:27 am

Shallow One

when i get my self to register, ill probably switch to acb. shallow one happened out of a mood - had played weboggle on "team cthulhu" a few minutes before i registered here, under the handle of 'shallow one' which in that context is a pun on the 'deep Ones' an ancient mysterious race of alien god-like beings, pivotal in some of HP Lovecrafts work

4:27 am

rubyfoo

do you remember sandyloo? She and I still communicate about the Tour de France every year; she is as rabid a fan as I (but of course loves Cadel Evans!)

4:28 am

grannyrose

*giggle* soory, mate...couldn't resist

4:28 am

negativeneil

Oh I see, Matt.

4:28 am

grannyrose

*sorry*

4:28 am

negativeneil

I have a friend who is Cthulhu obsessed.

4:29 am

grannyrose

yes, i remember sandy. how is she?

4:29 am

Shallow One

and indeed neal is terrible im very sorry, but sometimes it just happens, its no illmeaning - file it under typing-tourette or whatever .. i apologize for past and future mishaps

4:29 am

negativeneil

And I bet you couldn't, Rose. :P

4:29 am

negativeneil

No problem, Matt. ;)

4:30 am

grannyrose

:P and pfft to you.

4:30 am

Shallow One

actually its quite some time ago i read some of them, and also did rpgs. i was lured into the theme on wordsplay that day

4:30 am

rubyfoo

the last time we wrote, she was about to go to England for a wedding. She sounded great!

4:31 am

negativeneil

Wordsplay, yes... that was when the chat was broken on Weboggle.

4:31 am

negativeneil

It was out of order for a long time this time?

4:32 am

negativeneil

And pffft back to you, Rose. :P

4:33 am

negativeneil

Oh Matt? Want a good laugh... at my expense?

4:33 am

Shallow One

i think i shall resort to "research" on the grid now - beginning with an update on backchog

4:33 am

Shallow One

another blunder?

4:33 am

negativeneil

If so, check my October 01, 2012 update on profile... down near the bottom of the page.

4:34 am

negativeneil

And yes... that really happened. Go to the link in t hat update to listen to me tell the terrible tale. lol

4:34 am

negativeneil

My most em-bare-ass-ing situation EVER.

4:34 am

Shallow One

i already listened to that, very funny. wondered if your producer cleared the rights for the "eureka" score

4:35 am

Shallow One

had started to re-word a classic song to 'puttin off the ritz' but didnt get to far on it

4:37 am

rubyfoo

100 and see you later, kids

4:40 am

negativeneil

Did you note the last song used in that clip?

4:41 am

negativeneil

I'll give you a link to a certain video clip of it in your Weboggle inbox, Matt. Just give me a few mins.

4:43 am

Shallow One

yes noticed the lyrics but didnt know the song - im not much into current pop music

4:44 am

negativeneil

Ok, it is sent.. check your Weboggle inbox.

4:45 am

grannyrose

later, ruby. will email you soon.

4:45 am

Shallow One

oh, its from adam, no- i didnt make the connection

4:45 am

Shallow One

even funnier if you know.

4:47 am

Shallow One

by the way, the penalty by the ritz shouldnt have any consequences - since you did check in under an alias ...

4:48 am

negativeneil

Ha. Well I've been hoping they will only remember me as "Wally Greenberg."

4:50 am

Shallow One

will you publish under that moniker? you should, and it should be black-humoured and risquÃ©

4:50 am

negativeneil

Probably not. :P

4:54 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

4:54 am

Shallow One

hi crossy

4:54 am

Shallow One

negativeneil

Hi Ruby, thanks for the birthday wishes. : )

I think pr6 is a stretch.

10:48 am

11:33 am

doseffing

... you're

11:33 am

MollyL

No, sorry, the first 5

11:33 am

MollyL

There is no 5 between the 6's

11:35 am

smores

weird w words

11:35 am

doseffing

... that's why weird starts with 'w'

11:36 am

smores

thats good nan - I wouldn't have made it that far without list

11:36 am

smores

so true dos :)

11:38 am

Shallow One

hi e1 - its a skiing term, we6 (infinitive ending) means to wag like a dog or horse does its tail. this movement could be seen in the end of your skis

11:39 am

Shallow One

and the seeming plural ending is actually an anglification he or she we6, so is the anglicised infinitive to we5

11:40 am

smores

thanks Shallow - had no idea

11:40 am

cybernan

as 8, please?

11:40 am

Shallow One

its german....

11:41 am

doseffing

... as8 ... never seen it before ... ... as + 2000 pounds + past tense

11:42 am

MollyL

as + 2000 pounds + they cr**** at the funeral, it was so sad

11:42 am

doseffing

... to have been very very surprised in the past? ... to have bought James Bond's car in the past? ... who knows

11:43 am

cybernan

ty molly and dos

11:43 am

smores

another odd one

11:43 am

MollyL

Dose, it might be what happens when you go German wag dog skiing.

11:44 am

doseffing

... ach du liebe! ... who would have thunk it ...\

11:45 am

MollyL

Must be the Oktoberfest influence in the grid.

11:46 am

Shallow One

oktoberfest is long over, its in september...

11:47 am

doseffing

... not in KitchenerWaterloo it isn't ... ... happens the week after Canadian Thanksgiving ... which was last week

11:48 am

Shallow One

i suppose somewhere in the world theres always oktoberfest :)

11:49 am

doseffing

... not a bad idea

11:49 am

smores

that's good dos, glad somewhere Oktoberfest is celebrated in October

11:51 am

Nef

Good Day, Everybody. How are you all this fine moist day? (Not quite rainy, but still some desperately needed moisture for us)

11:52 am

MollyL

Oktoberfest in September seems so wrong.

11:52 am

MollyL

Hi Nef

11:52 am

doseffing

... Kitchener is about an hour west of Toronto ... changed the name of the town from "Berlin" during WWI ... instead of being named after people who were shooting Canadians they named it after the idiot who was getting Canadians shot ... got figure ... ... Oktoberfest is a big deal ... ... small town ... two large universities ... ... many drunken undergrads ... ... was one myself a thousand years ago

11:52 am

smores

I agree, they have a festival here every year, the last weekend of September

11:53 am

MollyL

I know where Kitchener is. My husband's demented, raving looney ex-wife lives there. Tread carefully Dose.

11:53 am

smores

hi Nef, raining here again, suppose to be nice tomorrow

11:54 am

cybernan

Our long drought has ended - rain for two days and 4 more by the looks of it.

11:55 am

doseffing

... Sorry ... I live about a mile down the road from what used to be the only hospital for the "insane' in Ontario ... ...

11:55 am

Nef

(I now have visions of a raving, looney woman running through huge crowds of drunken undergrads drinking beer. Is there a way to tell the difference between raving looney and drunken undergrads though?

11:56 am

smores

Maybe Molly's husbands ex is there now dos :)

11:56 am

doseffing

... Could be she's up near Crossy ... ... big hospital for the "criminally insane" up where he is

11:57 am

Nef

what part of the country are you in, smores? I'm in MPLS/St. Paul, MN and we've had a drought for most of the year

11:58 am

smores

midwest - Indiana

11:59 am

smores

we had a drought most of spring, about 1/2 of summer, but okay now

12:00 pm

smores

more than enough rain last 6weeks, shame it was a little late for some of the farmers though

12:01 pm

12:08 pm

cybernan

12:08 pm

Nef

sorry, smores, my son called and was talkative! How often does that happen (not toooften with mine)

12:08 pm

doseffing

... to have taken the medicine in the past

12:09 pm

cybernan

12:10 pm

12:12 pm

cybernan

ty smores

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

lovely, nef, most sons are not very talkative

12:12 pm

smores

another odd word - this grid is full of them

12:13 pm

cybernan

there are so many words I've never heard of before, that I'm not even bothering to look them up any more.

12:13 pm

Nef

It is. He's been working nights for quite a while now (since May or June?) and it's been tough for all f us

12:14 pm

smores

I looked that last one up - hoping it would help me clue it, sadly, it didn't ..lol

12:15 pm

smores

Nef,has he been able to adjust his sleep?

12:16 pm

smores

I worked night many years ago - about the time I was able sleep in the day, they switched my schedule back

12:17 pm

Nef

not really. He has a 3 year old (who spent a good deal of the summer living with us) and his wife has mental health issues --which were a major problemthis summer. He tried to deal with all of that plus work nights.

12:18 pm

MollyL

Bless him Nef, that is a lot to carry.

12:18 pm

Nef

I worked either evenings or nights for most of my nursing career. The past 4-5 years I've been working days. Not an easy adjustment

12:18 pm

smores

that's rough Nef

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

he is lucky to have chosen you as his mother!

12:19 pm

Nef

It's interesting though. I do wake up early; I just don't function early too! :-)

periwinkle

cheers,Molls. it is definitely a g&t kind of day. am going to try Skinny Girl Cosmopolitan as well.

12:22 pm

MollyL

I have to laugh at the Skinny Girl thing. If you make a Cosmo with fresh juice, there is nothing fattening about it.

12:24 pm

periwinkle

well it comes ready made in a bottle so I thought I would try it

12:24 pm

smores

"But I would not feel so all al5
Everybody must get st6"

12:25 pm

MollyL

Ah, I didn't know they came pre-mixed. Smores is a little stuck on that song today.

12:26 pm

smores

yeah - I am :)

12:26 pm

smores

stuck on the song - not st6...lol

12:26 pm

Nef

first thing that came to mind when I read that smores, was that your age is showing. But then I checked your profile and it looks like you are younger than I thought! :-)

12:27 pm

periwinkle

skinny girl cocktails. they also have margarta and pina colada. but I have bad memories of those

12:27 pm

smores

just turned 50

12:27 pm

12:27 pm

Nef

I am willing to share g&t or skinny girl cosmos. also guacamole and chips and smoked oysters

12:28 pm

Nef

12:28 pm

MollyL

Skinny Girl is a great marketing tool. What woman won't buy that? Just like "Big Man" condoms. : P

12:28 pm

doseffing

12:28 pm

BzznBea

The mi comes from the word that means to make amends

2:48 pm

sprite

ah, thanks dos! Too bad that cannot be made with +d

2:48 pm

doseffing

... or you could put "ness" after it and have a 14 letter word

3:05 pm

sprite

lolll

3:06 pm

sprite

calvinistic bunch, we are

3:06 pm

Soodle

Nope Bich..... If I see the weighing scales registering a loss, I am happy. But more significantly, if my clothes feel looser... then I'm happy.

4:40 pm

MollyL

Flosey, I'm sorry I can't tell you how Soodle lost the weight. This board is rated PG.

4:40 pm

5:06 pm

Soodle

flosey

6:07 pm

flosey

nm, got it

6:07 pm

flosey

silly word

6:11 pm

flosey

ni - more silly words

6:14 pm

MollyL

Agree Flosey, very silly.

6:16 pm

flosey

the silly ones are frustrating because you just have to monkey every which way

6:18 pm

MollyL

I agree with that too and I don't feel like my vocabulary has been expanded as it's likely I will never use the words.

6:18 pm

flosey

for sure

6:18 pm

flosey

only reason to remember is they'll appear again

6:19 pm

wvteach

todays grid seems to have a higher percentage of wierd words than usual

6:19 pm

flosey

I agree

6:21 pm

flosey

often they can't even come up with a meaning for the word

6:21 pm

flosey

like mi6/21 - forget to have lunch?

6:22 pm

MollyL

That word bugs me to no end.

6:22 pm

viajes

I think it's when you accidentally choose the poisoned food...

6:23 pm

Brookie

Hi everyone! Just doing my daily reminder about the Babble meetup on November 10th. Details are in my profile.

6:23 pm

viajes

and you're like "oops! I mi6!" and then you fall over dead

6:23 pm

MollyL

Oh, whatever would we do without Via : D

6:24 pm

flosey

ah, good explanation viajes

6:24 pm

viajes

:D

6:24 pm

flosey

must go, bridge partner is calling

6:24 pm

viajes

just stopping by; only home for a couple of minutes and then I have to leave again... be well!

6:29 pm

MollyL

Another drive-by from Via

6:31 pm

viajes

okay, my roommate is not ready, so I have a few more minutes...

6:31 pm

viajes

I put two brownies in the PB but one is laced with iokane powder... be careful not to mi6 or it will be the last thing you ever do

6:32 pm

Brookie

Finally got the clue on mi6 - thank you!

6:33 pm

viajes

yay! it's in past tense and plural too

6:34 pm

MollyL

inconceivable!

6:35 pm

viajes

that word you keep saying... I do not think it means what you think it means...

6:35 pm

o-o

the mi 6 truly has been dealt with with sufficient gravitas. One obvious definition: v - To eat improperly

6:35 pm

MollyL

Besides, I once had a torrid affair with The Dread Pirate Roberts and I too, have developed an immunity to iokane powder. So there!

6:35 pm

viajes

well then I guess you can take all the brownies without worry

6:37 pm

MollyL

Sicilian, schamilian. Never go against a tough Irish broad when death is on the line.

6:42 pm

viajes

that's good advice

6:43 pm

wvteach

help with ta 5/10 (second one) and ta 6/18 - assume it is a combo - help please

6:44 pm

MollyL

ta6 just like chicken?

6:44 pm

viajes

just be careful not to mi6 that chicken

6:46 pm

viajes

okay, time to go... just wanted to say, you're all a bunch of titmice.

6:47 pm

MollyL

Duly noted.

6:47 pm

viajes

I just really wanted to use that word, sorry :P

6:47 pm

viajes

I think it's a bird. But it sounds like an insult. It was in the grid... yesterday? Two days ago? anyway... bye!

6:49 pm

MollyL

Those of us with a sense of humor, got it.

6:51 pm

o-o

That word bugs me to no end.

6:52 pm

wvteach

** finito ** - finally got the ta 6

6:53 pm

MollyL

Congrats Teach

6:53 pm

o-o

Well done, wvteach

7:09 pm

smores

hi all - done with shopping and dinner - back to finish

7:09 pm

smores

wtg teach!!

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

Hi smores. I just started and am having fun typing away.

7:11 pm

smores

yeah, it's a nice grid, lo4 of weird word though

7:11 pm

smores

*words

7:11 pm

Scrabbler

I have founf only 86

7:11 pm

Lizlin

Hi all - funny how you miss the obvious words - I didn't have that lo4! So ty very much!!!

7:12 pm

smores

lol...yw

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

Go Liz!

7:12 pm

smores

I'm down to a few 4's

7:13 pm

Lizlin

clue for we 6 /33 - not sure if it's the first or second! They're next to each other. I have the we 5/ 20 and the plural! Also have the we 4 /9 which I think is next but can't find the middle one!!!

7:13 pm

Scrabbler

I am no help

7:14 pm

smores

and the funky Friday grid is finito

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yay smores. Now your day can begin.

7:14 pm

Lizlin

Well done!!!

7:15 pm

smores

we6/33 changed the last letter of the other we6/33

7:16 pm

Lizlin

ty! Never thought about that combo!!!!

7:16 pm

smores

one of several very strange words

7:17 pm

o-o

What makes a word strange?

7:18 pm

smores

hmmm, not sure BR

7:19 pm

o-o

â–¸ adjective: being definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird

7:21 pm

smores

that's how some would describe me.....lol

7:21 pm

smores

most actually

7:21 pm

o-o

unfamiliar words might have those qualities ... perception is subjective

7:22 pm

o-o

"strange" as a description of me is almost a compliment compared to other descriptions

7:23 pm

Scrabbler

Normal is overrated. I am proud to be different.

7:23 pm

o-o

I do not allow others to define me.

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

Good strategy. I wish more people would do that. I make a point of being a non-conformist.

7:29 pm

o-o

There never will be a consensus about what is normal ... there always will be change .... and what statistically might be considered normal changes too.

7:29 pm

smores

me too, make 'em wonder....;p;

7:30 pm

Scrabbler

Yep

7:31 pm

smores

agreed BR - what is considered normal changes all the time

7:32 pm

smores

I'm just me, the rest of the world can take it or leave it..lol

7:33 pm

o-o

The debate about the viability of the changes proposed in the DSM V goes on and on

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

Good perspective

7:33 pm

Scrabbler

It's awful, isn't it, BR?

7:34 pm

o-o

Yep

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

Too many states of the human condition are being labeled as psychopathology.

7:37 pm

smores

I am as8/45, de7/32 runs rampant

7:39 pm

smores

sorry, couldn't help myself...lol

7:40 pm

o-o

The models currently being used do not work .... insurance companies, big pharma and the government all have influences and objectives that do not make the welfare of the people the top priority.

7:41 pm

smores

no time to worry about the people when there is so much money and power to be had

7:43 pm

o-o

When a court upholds the right of one big pharma to pay a huge sum to another big pharma not to market a generic medication that will devastate the market share of the first and allow the first to price gouge .... hard to have any confidence in leadership

7:45 pm

smores

isn't it 5 years on the patents now before the generics can be made?

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

Big Pharma makes people think they have conditions which they don't or need drugs which they don't

7:47 pm

o-o

Fortunately, the chemical imbalance crusade is being discredited .... but Congress shares the blame by allow big pharma to do direct advertising

7:48 pm

smores

agreed, the number of ads are ridiculous, as are the types of ads

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

I read an article by a psychiatrist recently. He said that the diagnosis of bipolar disorder no longer means much because it is overdiagnosed.

7:51 pm

smores

I remember when it started a few years ago with all the erectile dysfunction ads, my youngest was about 8 or 9 then

7:52 pm

smores

I no, bad pms would now be considered bipolar

7:52 pm

smores

*know (wow, I'm losing it)

7:53 pm

smores

I'm sure they have something I could take for that though

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

Preschoolers are now diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. The typical state of young kids IS to be inattentive, impulsive, have tantrums, etc.

7:54 pm

o-o

When placebos are as advantageous as prescriptive meds, except perhaps in the more serious cases, and a 14% success rate is considered viable ... something is very wrong

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

True.

7:55 pm

smores

wow 14% that is outrageous

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Alright, I have had enough now that I passed halfway. Night-night to all.

7:56 pm

smores

good night srabbler - sweet dreams

7:56 pm

o-o

Be well

7:58 pm

smores

I'm gonna go as well, Grimm starts in a couple minutes

7:58 pm

smores

night BR take care :)

7:58 pm

o-o

Be well, smores

8:37 pm

rururocks

8:38 pm

8:38 pm

MollyL

Gutter, gutter mind. : P

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

*wonders how this conversation started but afraid to look*

8:41 pm

MollyL

Well, you know how it goes when you use the word stiff. It's just a step above turgid.

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

haha

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

its nearly halloween. . . stiff is bound to come up!

8:42 pm

lbdawger

Molly, no, my commute is only about 5 miles. i'm up early just cuz my body says "Wake UP!!" and so i do. but i do have weird shifts that make getting up early conducive to being a good habit.

8:42 pm

MollyL

Only in a dead conversation.

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

ru are you going to let that comment just lie there?

8:43 pm

lbdawger

the only stiff thing around me are my joints...aches and pains thanks to arthur-itis

8:43 pm

wht

I think he is going to bury it, jmc

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

i can't get a rise out of him?

8:44 pm

rururocks

I have a certain esprit de corpse

8:44 pm

MollyL

LBD has joints. Party time!

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

you are so transparent ru

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

*gets out the bong*

11:40 pm

Pinikula

(so, basically, an Apple product)

11:41 pm

dianedecoder

dianedecoder

Hi cosdem :-)

11:44 pm

Pinikula

they're pretty fun, di...come in handy for a variety of things that, of course, most think we can't live without! :)

11:46 pm

Pinikula

Oh, it did come in handy this past weekend...

11:46 pm

Pinikula

...big community event down at a local park...

11:46 pm

Pinikula

...kids wanted me to walk up and stand on the suspended footbridge...

11:47 pm

Pinikula

...I made it to the edge before opting out...

11:47 pm

Pinikula

...dau couldn't figure out why...

11:47 pm

Pinikula

...until I showed her my heart rate (taken via an app I have on my iphone)...

11:47 pm

Pinikula

...then she understood!

11:48 pm

dianedecoder

LOL....

11:48 pm

Pinikula

resting heartrate = 75; going to the footbridge = 120

11:53 pm

Glantarell

you can measure your heart rate via an app?

11:53 pm

Pinikula

yep!

11:54 pm

Glantarell

I wnet ot a teachers conference this week and one of the seminars was given by 8 yr olds, showing what thye could do using iPads and apps :-)

11:54 pm

Glantarell

what's the app called Pini?

11:54 pm

Pinikula

it was probably kinda scarey, wasn't it, glant?

11:54 pm

dianedecoder

My daughter has some app that scans the bar code on products and gives her calorie content and a bunch of other information. Scary, for sure !

11:54 pm

Glantarell

Apparently 2 yr olds are using them in school now...

11:55 pm

Pinikula

It's called "Instant Heart Rate"

11:55 pm

Glantarell

It was kinda fun, but the teahcers were saying that there are so many apps and it's hard to tell which are good and which are not so good

11:55 pm

Pinikula

Di, my dau and I have scanned barcodes to make our shoping lists!

11:55 pm

Pinikula

My gson just turned 3...he's a whiz

11:56 pm

Glantarell

ty, I'll try downloading that - I hve one called My fitness pal or something similar - it's a food and exercise diary, and you can monitor your weight loss by measurements and graphs and it has a database of every food you can imagine, and you can scan barcodes of food into ti too, really helping m otive me to lose weight and do more exercise

11:57 pm

dianedecoder

I want to play dress up, Barbies and sing songs with my little great grandbaby as long as I can.. BUT the little monkey can already play some little farm game on her auntie's ipad.... opens the barn door and imitates all the animals... etc. OH MY !
