jillibus

What? All this finishing in 3 minutes?

1:04 am

jillibus

Oh wait -- one hour and 3 minutes -- I'm a wee bit late.

1:05 am

jillibus

Very tired after a busy day and infuriating problems with credit card.

1:06 am

jillibus

talking to myself, I guess. Oh well.

1:14 am

jillibus

nbt, yay me

1:15 am

flosey

fireworks, hi jilli, missed your entrance

1:15 am

flosey

I don't know when I've seem so many unwords

1:15 am

jillibus

wtg flosey

1:15 am

flosey

and now off to bed, beast of a headache and dentist tomorrow morning

1:16 am

jillibus

did you just monkey the unwords or use morewords?

1:16 am

flosey

thanks jilli

1:16 am

flosey

more words sure came in handy tonight

1:16 am

flosey

didn't have the patience, monkeys got fed up

1:17 am

jillibus

I may not bother -- finding unwords is just a waste of time

1:17 am

flosey

I agree

1:17 am

flosey

but was waiting for hubby to come home

1:17 am

flosey

so off to bed, goodnight

1:18 am

jillibus

well, sleep well and have fun at the dentist's.

1:20 am

1:33 am

lynxxx

Hello Jilly - Yay you!

1:34 am

jillibus

hi lyn! It's been lonely here

1:34 am

lynxxx

How is your poor face - all healed now?

1:34 am

lynxxx

Yes...the time changes make a real difference at this time of year

1:34 am

jillibus

hardly noticeable at all now, thanks, lyn -- well, from a distance.

1:35 am

jillibus

I think this small grid caused everyone to finish and leave quickly. I was late arriving.

1:36 am

lynxxx

most of the US now tucked up in bed - only leaving night-owls like you around

1:37 am

Lizlin

Just come back for a short while. Hi Lyn and Jilli

1:37 am

jillibus

hello liz

1:37 am

lynxxx

hi Liz

1:37 am

jillibus

it's only 11:37 pm here

1:38 am

Lizlin

Have to say, I'm not finding this easy!

1:38 am

lynxxx

so does Canada have the same sort of Daylight Saving time changes as the US?

1:39 am

jillibus

exactly the same with the excepton of Saskatchewan, which stays on Standard time all year.

1:40 am

jillibus

Some of the Us states do too -- not sure which ones.

1:40 am

Lizlin

That must be confusing - more so that QLD - it's right in the middle isn't it?

1:40 am

rbud

I'm here, but spending way too much time in morewords with all these silly unwords. :P

1:40 am

lynxxx

hi Rosebud

1:41 am

Lizlin

Hi Rbud

1:41 am

jillibus

And that's why I'm content to call it quite with 38 left, rbud (and hello/gdbye)

1:41 am

rbud

might be the smallest grid I ever give up on in disgust, lol

1:41 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Jilli

1:41 am

jillibus

*quits, not quite

1:41 am

lynxxx

Goodnight Jilli - sweet dreams

1:42 am

rbud

I'm down to 34 left now, nite, jilli

1:42 am

jillibus

goodnight all and happy babbling haha...*poof

1:53 am

rbud

wow, even the small words aren't normal, what an odd grid

1:53 am

rbud

well, lots of them, anyway, more than usual

1:54 am

Lizlin

Struggled to get to 40 left!!!! Weird grid!

1:56 am

lynxxx

you need to get creative for sure

2:02 am

lynxxx

I think cruisier could be accepted

2:02 am

Glantarell

3:06 am

Glantarell

3:21 am

Lizlin

4:30 am

Ray100

4:31 am

Ray100

5:31 am

rubyfoo

hello

5:32 am

rubyfoo

anybody home?

5:32 am

MollyL

What's up Ruby? : )

5:33 am

rubyfoo

my computer is driving me crazy (crazier?)

5:33 am

rubyfoo

trying to print an easyJet ticket, not easy!

5:33 am

rubyfoo

how are you, molly?

5:33 am

MollyL

Isn't it brand new?

5:33 am

rubyfoo

brand new in 2000~

5:34 am

MollyL

I need more coffee. For some reason, I thought you just got a new computer. When is your weekend away?

5:34 am

rubyfoo

14-17 dec

5:35 am

MollyL

You must be so excited.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

happy, but not excited. Too much to do between now and then.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

but I am relaly looking forward to it and have made good arrangements for help for husband and dogs

5:36 am

MollyL

It will do you a world of good to get away.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

am** to that!

5:37 am

rubyfoo

mane

5:37 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

5:37 am

rubyfoo

maybe I am excited....

5:37 am

MollyL

: )

5:38 am

MollyL

When was the last time you took a trip?

5:38 am

rubyfoo

1 1/2 or 2 yrs, I can't remember exactly, but it was also to London

5:39 am

rubyfoo

we used to travel a lot, but DH can't any more and it's very hard to leave the dogs

5:39 am

rubyfoo

the big problem will be airport walking. I may use a wheel chair (which I've done in the past)

5:40 am

MollyL

Oh, get a segueway. I can just see you whizzing through the airport on a segueway.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

what's a segueway?

5:41 am

MollyL

Those things you stand on with two wheels. Airport security uses them.

5:42 am

rubyfoo

too funny

5:42 am

rubyfoo

I've never seen one

5:43 am

smores

Good Morning Ruby, Molly :)

5:43 am

MollyL

http://tinyurl.com/b48asks

5:43 am

rubyfoo

hello smores; it's "post-lunch" here

5:43 am

smores

segueway...lol

5:44 am

rubyfoo

I thought segue was just a musical term, lol

5:44 am

smores

Make me think of that Kevin James movie

5:45 am

rubyfoo

Kevn James? I think I've been gone too long

5:46 am

smores

very stupid, yet funny, movie called Paul Blart, Mall Cop

5:47 am

rubyfoo

sometimes I like silly movies, e.g. last week I saw Ted.

5:47 am

rubyfoo

This week I saw Amour, the antithesis of silly -- terribly sad movie about getting old

5:49 am

o-o

Hello

5:49 am

smores

hiya BR

5:49 am

rubyfoo

helloBR

5:50 am

Lizlin

Hi all - on a very warm QLD evening!

5:51 am

rubyfoo

warm sounds good to me, liz

5:51 am

Lizlin

I guess from a November day in France, it would!

5:51 am

smores

Hello Liz - on a very cold, sun aint up yet Indiana morning

5:51 am

rubyfoo

it is cold and damp and foggy; the lake is invisible

5:52 am

Lizlin

You both have my sympathy about the weather!

5:52 am

Lizlin

It's one of the things that made QLD such an attractive place to live!

5:52 am

o-o

Heatwave here again: 32Â°F

5:52 am

rubyfoo

I made this choice, however, and it beats Miami's 2 seasons: hot and hot & humid

5:53 am

rubyfoo

wow, that is very hot indeed

5:53 am

Lizlin

Yeuch! F not C ruby!!!!

5:54 am

Lizlin

It's funny how quickly you adapt to climate change.

5:54 am

rubyfoo

aaah, didn't see the F

5:54 am

Lizlin

I still don't like humidity though.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind humidity so much, but Miami had terrible mosquitos

5:55 am

Lizlin

We have them too and I react nastily. So in summer, lots of anti-mosi cream!

5:56 am

Lizlin

But still, wouldn't move back to London (except to see family and friends)

5:56 am

rubyfoo

so far, unless it warms up more, we haven't had mosquitos here

5:57 am

Lizlin

hope it stays that way

5:57 am

o-o

People will soon need to do more than adapt to climate change ... survival depends on change. Humans must colonize planets in other solar systems â€” traveling there using "Star Trek"-style propulsion â€” or face extinction, renowned British cosmologist Stephen Hawking said Thursday.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

we have much less snow now than we did 15 yrs ago when we moved here

5:57 am

rubyfoo

no hard frost these past two years

5:58 am

Lizlin

Thats an exciting thought BR - but not in the lifetimes of most of us.

5:59 am

Lizlin

I see human adaptation to texting happening - stronger elongated thumb and first finger!!!!!!!

5:59 am

rubyfoo

I'd be a great texter with very long thumbs but, unfortunately, no phone

5:59 am

Lizlin

But then I guess texting will be superceded before long!

6:01 am

o-o

And your sentiments are those of the vast majority. I fear many will die before the urgency of change is accepted.

6:01 am

Lizlin

many are scared of change

6:02 am

smores

:) BR

6:02 am

o-o

When purported leaders play politics with lives it is wrong but all too common.

6:03 am

smores

agreed...definately wrong

6:03 am

Lizlin

True :)

6:06 am

rubyfoo

stats for the 7's, pls, for nbs?

6:06 am

smores

" :) BR" was for the Stephen Hawking comment, chat seems to be delayed

6:07 am

YAY - it took those right away

6:09 am

6:09 am

rubyfoo

bye kids

6:10 am

Lizlin

Bye Ruby. Enjoy your day. Keep warm!

6:10 am

o-o

Be well, Ruby.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

bye and tks

6:13 am

Lizlin

And with 25 left for tomorrow, I think I'll give up for tonight. Too many weird words in this grid!!!! Enjoy your days :)

6:25 am

smores

6:37 am

6:53 am

cancer is all gone, though, and the oncologist and surgeon are both confident that chemo will take care of the microscopic bits

6:53 am

Trifioso

oh I am so sorry! will storm gates of heaven on his behalf immediately

6:53 am

uusue2

((((trif))))

6:53 am

6:53 am

i am glad about the chemo just to get rid of the bits;))

6:53 am

uusue2

and ((((crossy)))) of course!

6:54 am

o-o

The Irish Nightclub Industry Association

6:54 am

uusue2

yes, that was good news

6:54 am

uusue2

ha, BR is spelling out the hairy dolphin :-)

6:54 am

Trifioso

NICE one BR!!!! LOLOLOL

6:55 am

crosshair

hehe

6:55 am

Trifioso

cancer sucks. I hate it so much right now. It is kicking the ass of some very good friends of mine right now, and I'm FURIOUS. Daughter was diagnosed about 4 months ago, mother diagnosed 4 weeks ago.

6:55 am

majmom

clue for ru6/21 please

6:55 am

uusue2

oh, that is awful, trif!

6:56 am

hokie carla

wow, I am not seeing the words today. am I still asleep, or are they "fake" words I don't know? btw, 'morning, y'all.

6:56 am

Trifioso

it BLOWS. my poor friend was fighting to save her daughter, and now is in a fight and a half for her own life.

6:56 am

crosshair

i am so sorry trif seems everyone i know has friends or family with cancer.i hope it is just better diagnosis and the medical teams cathing things earlier and thus more treatable and not a general upswing in cancer cases

6:57 am

uusue2

love and hugs and light and hope to your friends, trif

6:57 am

Trifioso

I must admit - we did get to laughing when medical marijuana passed here last week. You have to find the humor where you can, right? We were all "oooh, Amy, it's about to get WIDE at your house!" and teasing her about the constant "brownie" deliveries

6:58 am

o-o

ru + a trig function

6:58 am

uusue2

thanks, BR!

6:58 am

Trifioso

switch the first two letters for a bear ur6

6:58 am

majmom

ty babble

6:59 am

uusue2

trif, one of the very elderly ladies from my church came to visit Frank the other day, and asked if marijuana would help him :-)

6:59 am

Trifioso

I thought that said "big function" and I was looking for fete, gala, etc. DUH

6:59 am

Trifioso

ROCK ON old church lady! what, she could score him a dime bag? hahaha

6:59 am

crosshair

we have had legal medical mary-jane here for years,but most doctors do not approve so they bottle neck it at the source so what we did was decriminalize one ounce or less in a single bag for personable use.it is now just technically a ticketable offense

7:00 am

o-o

medical marihuana? not sure I want to get treated by medical personnel on pot

7:00 am

Trifioso

old church ladies KILL ME - I had one, right after my divorce, tell me "the best way to get over a man is to get under another" and then continued to tell me how she tried "the other side" and that didn't work either.....sweet JESUS!

7:00 am

uusue2

she might, trif, I have learned not to sell them short!

7:01 am

crosshair

have to watch those church ladies.why do you think all us guys used to kill ourselves to date the parsons daughter hehe

7:02 am

Trifioso

I want to be one when I grow up. remind me, okay?

7:03 am

o-o

suicide does not seem a particularly appropriate date activity

7:03 am

Trifioso

uh.....no

7:03 am

crosshair

in all seriousness,i wish i had medical weed when i had my cancers.it stops nausea,increaSES appitite,relieves pain and is a whole lot better than the chemical cocktails they forced down my throat

7:04 am

uusue2

well, when we get to that point we may very well try it (although I don't think Illinois is one of the states where it's legal)

7:04 am

Trifioso

(((((crossy))))))

7:05 am

crosshair

i still pay the price for cisplatin chemotherapy

Don't you think you've rolled enough sh*t in this life, Crossy? A dung beetle would be a karmic step backwards.

Now, as a sea turtle, you would get to swim the oceans at your leisure, eat all the jellyfish you can find, and live a nice long life.

8:22 am

car.eeyore

Just found ur 6/21...bear like

8:22 am

MimiCat

Actually, I'm not keen on coming back at all. Saw "the other side" when I nearly died and it's much more pleasant there. The haunting would be good, though!

8:22 am

o-o

I want to drink from the River Lethe

8:22 am

The real one or the mythological one BR?

8:24 am

o-o

mythological .... then I could write my amnesia chronicles

8:24 am

uusue2

I've told my family when I go to donate whatever anybody can use (including for whatever research might be useful) and then cremate the rest.

8:24 am

car.eeyore

I am with you uusue!

8:24 am

uusue2

amnesia chronicles would be rather brief, I would think...

8:25 am

car.eeyore

LOL!

8:25 am

Judi

Ditto, sue.

8:25 am

MimiCat

OK--enough death talk. I saw a great movie over the weekend---Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Got the whole first season of Homeland coming today. Have carried a donor card for years, sue. Just makes sense.

8:25 am

crosshair

how was that movie mimi? i have heard good things about it

8:25 am

o-o

As a judge told me, you never want to be caught with your brief's down

8:26 am

Judi

*snort*

8:27 am

MimiCat

It's one you want to attentively watch. The child actor is fabulous and it's his first movie. I also watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Bridesmaids and found both disappointing. Netflix has a free month of DVD's so I'm taking advantage of it and getting 3 at a time.

8:27 am

o-o

I told the judge with remarks like that he would lose his appeal

8:28 am

car.eeyore

OK...I need to get going with my day. I wish you all a wonderful day! {[hugs}} all around!

worst of the tiny toughies is I always end up with all the biggies missing. Can't even imagine any 7 in this little beast.

9:20 am

Fireworks, but my brain is now tied in knots.

9:24 am

smores

any food for Frank today?

9:24 am

uusue2

not yet, sea

9:24 am

9:25 am

mael

hi sprite, hi all

9:25 am

uusue2

((((sea))))

9:25 am

Judi

It seems odd that they would consider pill form chemo, given that Frank has intestinal problems.

9:26 am

Judi

I am at work, Sprite. Not a whole lot to do. I could bust up the cardboard for recycling.

9:26 am

uusue2

no, that's sea's dad, judi, we haven't really started thinking about chemo yet

9:26 am

SeaSpray

is Frank doing better?

9:26 am

mael

I was looking for some mindless entertainment before I have to leave to go to PT, and I get this grid instead :)

9:26 am

how goes, kate?

2:13 pm

TraderKate

just got here - it's not a very friendly grid today... or i'm blind!

2:14 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

2:15 pm

TraderKate

hey sue!

2:15 pm

uusue2

kate, I think you were right the first time (it's the grid, not you)

2:15 pm

jesdraggon

hi sue, frank feeling any better today?

2:16 pm

TraderKate

thanks, it's pretty quiet in babbleland, figured everyone's finished

2:16 pm

uusue2

well, jes, it's been a hell of a trip today

2:17 pm

uusue2

he was getting sicker and sicker (nausea and gas) and they took him for emergency surgery this morning

2:17 pm

jesdraggon

that sounds.... mixed.

2:17 pm

jesdraggon

another surgery? no fun. hope they found what was causing the pain though

2:18 pm

uusue2

turned out to be a problem with the end of his colon near the ostomy site (it had died, although not much of it)

2:18 pm

jesdraggon

ah. yeah, that'd do it

2:18 pm

uusue2

but the other end of his colon had healed just fine, so they reversed the ostomy!

2:19 pm

uusue2

(since it was there to protect the healing of the other end). So he will need a few days to recover, but no bag and assuming no further problems he should be fine.

2:19 pm

jesdraggon

well that's good :)

2:20 pm

uusue2

he is pretty out of it still but is excited by the news.

2:20 pm

uusue2

The surgeon had a big grin on his face when he came into the room.

2:21 pm

jesdraggon

always a promising sign :)

2:22 pm

jesdraggon

nbt

2:33 pm

uusue2

sorry, things keep happening here...

2:33 pm

jesdraggon

no worries. i've just hit the point where i'm staring at the grid hoping for more words to fall out :)

2:34 pm

uusue2

:-)

2:35 pm

uusue2

Well, I must say, I am impressed with how fast they can get someone into emergency surgery when they decide that's what needs to happen!

2:36 pm

jesdraggon

that's what you're supposed to do in an emergency :D

2:37 pm

uusue2

well, I know, but it still seemed pretty fast. It was less than half an hour between when the surgeon came in and explained what he wanted to do (operate now rather than doing a wait-and-see) and when Frank was wheeled out.

2:38 pm

jesdraggon

nice to have a surgeon that's "on it".

2:40 pm

uusue2

I am very impressed with him.

2:40 pm

uusue2

His instincts were spot on.

2:41 pm

jesdraggon

big relief to have a doctor you like :)

2:42 pm

uusue2

indeed. He also is the type who likes to explain things (with diagrams), which I like a lot.

2:43 pm

sallyds

A smiling communicative surgeon. There's nothing more you could ask. Happy thoughts for Frank. It sounds like he's going to be fine.

2:44 pm

uusue2

I hope so, Sally! He's by no means out of the woods yet, but he is a lot better now than we thought he might be

2:45 pm

jesdraggon

The vast majority of clients i have that come here from another clinic are dissatisfied because of lack of communication. It's very important to talk to your clients!

2:46 pm

uusue2

Indeed. I am the same way with the students in our department (I am the chair)

2:54 pm

TraderKate

does anyone have the su 7/44?
i'm down to the last 12 words (ty lickety!), but am running out of time and must shamelessly beg for clues now

2:54 pm

Was very heartened by the ostomy reversal! And glad he has a central line and will get nutrition. That will help his body heal and prepare for chemo!

He has a lot more healing to do, and there is still a risk of infection, but SOOO much better than this morning!

back from LALA land and glad for a small grid

5:35 pm

uusue2

ok, sorry, went away a bit. Most of the stalling was done by Frank. I had to find a GI doctor who would see him but that didn't slow us down; it happened in parallel with getting him into the emergency room.

WHAT?!! Jilly that is ridiculous. I live on less than that

5:40 pm

Tell me about it! I cannot wait for the 10 months, then to cover me it will drop $600

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

Thankfully, I have been here 23 years and am top of scale for RN's, work about 30/week, so we are able to make it...but I do have two jobs for the 30 hr plus a 3rd job in youth ministry with monthly stipend that helps..

The people who don't want universal health care are the people with cush jobs, where their health care benefits are all paid for.

I just retired and have to pay $87/month for the 2 of us each month. If I had worked for one more year I wud only pay $58/ month

the trick is to have your house paid off Molly. It is one of the perks of old age

5:46 pm

Jillyjill

10...

5:49 pm

bichon

We did that years ago. Now all we have to worry about is taxes rising

5:49 pm

bichon

* real estate mainly

5:49 pm

MollyL

I know exactly two people who have their houses paid off. Neither of them have kids. Without all the expenses that kids would have laid on them, they were able to pay their mortgages off early. It's a trade off I guess.

5:50 pm

bichon

We had two kids, sent them to college. But, we lived very frugally to pay off the mortgage

5:50 pm

MollyL

Oh, and one of them has a six figure salary.

5:51 pm

bichon

We certainly never had that. We just like living simply

5:51 pm

Bugsaw

exactly bichon. I have a small house and have always lively carefully

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

<---FW!! ur6/21 was my last

5:52 pm

Bugsaw

keep the faith Molly. it gets better as your kids get older and take on more responsibility for themselves

5:52 pm

Bugsaw

YAY Jilly

5:53 pm

MollyL

Well, my kids are all over 20.

5:53 pm

bichon

I wouldn't even elaborate here how we live so frugally, but let's just say, we take out the maximum in Roth IRA's every year. Hubby still working

5:53 pm

Jillyjill

Well, am VERY anxious to see what happens to Medicare, Social Security. I am in that group that isn't supposedly "close to retirment"...I'm 54...

5:54 pm

bichon

We had kids young and after college, they were on their own. We both worked and focused on saving for our retirement

5:54 pm

Jillyjill

Exactly what can I do within 10-13 years!

5:55 pm

Jillyjill

Well Bichon, we were doing the exact same thing...until hubby got sick..

5:56 pm

MollyL

That is the problem. You can live carefully for years and something unexpected can toss you right over the cliff.

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

there cud be a cultural difference too Molly. Canadian parents expect their kids to help with their college education expenses. It seems that the US kids expect everything they had at home to be paid for by parents.

5:57 pm

MollyL

That is not true. Everyone I know who has college age kids, the kids are working to help pay for their college. Not all American kids are spoon fed.

5:58 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad to hear that Molly. So much that we see on tv is not accurate but unless you have it explained, we might never know that. Thanks

5:59 pm

Jillyjill

Not in my case, our oldest is being paid by GI bill, the youngest got grants, scholarships and loans. We have had to help only once with youngest repayment in 2009 when he was under-employed, and may have to help oldest with his last semester.

5:59 pm

Jillyjill

Well, must drag my sick bottom off couch and begin to fix something for dinner...

Yes, Molly and we could put a kettle on for tea. Always ready to visit (not really but it sounds very hospitable.)

6:22 pm

This recipe is based on one my Grandmother used. I've transitioned it to ingredients I prefer. The original recipe calls for mace. I don't use enough of that to buy a bottle.

6:22 pm

rururocks

I love oatmeal cookies

6:23 pm

Lizlin

Could you use nutmeg instead of mace? But I love vanilla and lemon.

6:23 pm

Actually I did put in a springkle of nutmeg because my husband loves that flavor.

Bet your house smells lovely right now!

What is better than Gran Mere's kitchen with warm cookies and hot tea? : D

Oh yes, I think you mentioned it before.

6:55 pm

Oh that is wonderful

6:55 pm

how far a drive is it?

6:56 pm

stidmama

at rush hour it could take 4 hours, leaving at 5:30 probably about 2.

6:57 pm

so you'll have a little time to get checked in before the 1st workshop, that's good

6:57 pm

Hello all! Quick entrance to post my story of clues. I'll BBL!

8:05 pm

Minveryork

The na4/5 of this story is "Going to the Movies". I do not go to the movie theater very often and when I do,it is a pain to get there. I live in an ar 4/4 where the ci6/24 is a half hour away.I drive like a ma5/12c so I do not miss the previews. If it's ra4/4ing it takes even longer to get there. Then when I get there I have to deal with the me 4/5 ticket person who has an attitude. By the time I sit down, my mood is ru4/5ed and I do not want to see the movie anymore.Therefore,I watch most of my movies at home on NetFlix.Speaking of which,I'm going to get off my an4/5 & go watch the movie State and Ma4/5.Adios

There is a fifth dimension beyond those known to man. It is a dimension vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between the pit of fears and the summit of knowledge. It is an area called...The Babble Zone.
