Also tell everyone I'm NEVER getting married again unless I find out I only have 6 months to live---in which case, I'll remarry my ex-husband because it would make that 6 mos. seem like SOOO much LONGER.

lots of prayers and positive thoughts go out to smores friend and to sue and frank

Frank, unfortunately, will be dealing with more unexpecteds ... chemo and a crohn's specialist

8:08 am

uusue2

well, at this point we are expecting those, BR, it's the unexpected unexpecteds that we're really worried about

8:08 am

rubyfoo

chemo is our friend!

8:09 am

o-o

That is the insidious thing about crohn's .... quite unpredictable

8:10 am

o-o

Even so, having the cancer manageable is a big plus

8:10 am

uusue2

hopefully the crohn's will keep quiet for a bit; the part of his intestine with obvious disease is gone

8:11 am

and the cancer prognosis looks quite good

well, right now the gluten intolerance is being managed because he isn't eating anything (although they are giving him IV nutrition, finally). He is getting a bit depressed, which worries me. Probably being doped up on morphine doesn't help.

8:24 am

o-o

Have you discussed the depression with the docs? perhaps a bit of therapy and/or meds is appropriate?

8:25 am

uusue2

will do so today, just realized how bad it was

8:25 am

we have some friends (including our minister) who are counselors, too

but am Babbling with amazingly dilated eyes after visit to eye doctor.

10:23 am

hego

weird. You're all blurry.

10:24 am

MollyL

There really are 4 n's and three t's...it's not your eyes.

10:24 am

hego

hahaha

10:25 am

hego

I was afraid of that.

10:27 am

10:27 am

Hi mael

10:27 am

mael

hi hego, hi all

10:27 am

10:28 am

mael

and tadah! should totally be a word

10:28 am

hego

true

10:28 am

hego

we're living on gristle and bone these days.

10:30 am

MollyL

So as to empty us out before the Thanksgiving feast next week.

10:30 am

mael

if only!

10:31 am

mael

my in laws want to bring their cat with them when they come stay with us for thanksgiving. We also have a cat, who is not going to like it.

10:32 am

hego

uh oh!

10:32 am

mael

I objected, but my husband is not going to put his foot down. So we'll see, it might be hilarious or it might be a disaster that results in them leaving early :)

10:33 am

hego

the fur will fly

10:33 am

hego

literally and figuratively

10:33 am

mael

we have the nicest cat on the planet, but she's never been confronted with a strange cat in her space. I trust that she'll make her feelings known either way. :)

10:34 am

harpjane

just looked up the definiton of the gh word--interesting

10:35 am

maybe that's what Hostess needed, jane

10:35 am

jmcnrick

10:36 am

jmcnrick

i was more looking toward gene kelly but dr suess works for me!

10:36 am

jmcnrick

ugh the wi-fi on the train sucks . . . really slows down the reparte!

10:36 am

hego

I would not mind looking toward Gene Kelly.

10:37 am

jmcnrick

i can add words but the slow wi-fi has ruined my witty chat

10:38 am

hego

it's still good, but I know what you mean.

10:38 am

MollyL

I don't understand why people expect to be able to bring a pet when they are a guest in your home.

10:39 am

hego

me neither. I'm allergic.

10:40 am

jmcnrick

ACK!!!! i can't chat!

10:40 am

hego

: (

10:41 am

jmcnrick

oh i see you have been getting the chat but I have not

10:42 am

jmcnrick

and i think your i-l are amazingly RUDE!

10:43 am

jmcnrick

i hate it when people are always bringing their dogs everywhere . . .

10:43 am

hego

what! I was feeling bad for you!

10:43 am

mael

they are stubborn, but I don't blame them any more than I blame my husband, who has never said "no" to them in his life

10:43 am

hego

Oh sorry, misunderstood.

10:43 am

hego

I am dumb.

10:43 am

mael

:)

10:43 am

hego

but i agree with you.

10:44 am

hego

blame it on my blurry eyes.

10:44 am

jmcnrick

hego!

10:44 am

hego

Can't see a damn thing.

10:44 am

jmcnrick

find a hotel that takes pets and send them a note saying you have reserved a room for them there

10:44 am

hego

I had my eyes dilated.

10:45 am

hego

good for jmc!

10:45 am

mael

haha, I would totally do that. But my husband has, unhelpfully, offered to say no only when specifying that I don't want to have the cat, not him. He's helpful like that :)

10:46 am

hego

10:48 am

10:53 am

hego

I hope you never need to find out JMC>

10:53 am

10:53 am

10:53 am

hego

You're Italian. Of course you can cook!.

10:54 am

Be careful out there Bich. The idiots are out in full force.

1:27 pm

bichon

I went early this morning so I wouldn't get in the way of all those shoppers on a X-Mas buying tear

1:27 pm

MollyL

Early morning in the grocery store is a beautiful thing.

1:28 pm

bichon

We are actually having the feasters over on Sat. They are going to the other parents on Thurs.

1:28 pm

TraderKate

same at 2 a.m. --- not a soul in sight and no kids having ftantrums over cereal choices

1:28 pm

MollyL

I feel like blessing myself and genuflecting when I walk into a quiet, mostly empty grocery store.

1:28 pm

bichon

At 2 AM I am alway asleep. I'm going to go to Costco next Tues, but when they first open

1:29 pm

TraderKate

i used to go in the middle of the night after work, when i worked for the railway

1:29 pm

MollyL

I went to Costco once, during Christmas season. I got there twenty minutes before they were to open. There were 100 people in line waiting to get in.

1:30 pm

TraderKate

have you both finished the grid?

1:30 pm

bichon

I'm hoping it won't be that bad before T'day. I only want to get some produce [something I love there].

hi sprite!

1:33 pm

bichon

Hey Sprite. There was a great article in yesterday's NY Times about how successful the Netherlands is in engineering dams and dikes to keep the water out. If only that would have here

1:34 pm

sprite

hi Kate :) Hi bichon!
Yes, we had to learn... or there wouldn't be a Netherlands at all ;)

1:35 pm

sprite

must be good reasons why our solutions don't work for you :(

1:35 pm

hego

Hi Gang. : )

1:35 pm

bichon

that gh 6/8 combo is way weird

1:35 pm

TraderKate

i think they did some great engineering for venice - the walls lay under the sea until raised as needed

1:36 pm

bichon

I think it's lack of priorities here in this country

1:36 pm

sprite

hi hego :D

1:36 pm

TraderKate

... think new orleans

1:36 pm

hego

We insist in having beaches.

1:36 pm

TraderKate

hey hego

1:36 pm

hego

and living on them.

1:36 pm

bichon

And the whole NY City, New Jersey area

1:37 pm

hego

where I live Bichon

1:37 pm

sprite

we have beaches too. And people living very close to them. But it is probably different. We have dunes.

1:37 pm

bichon

I grew up in the Rockaways where some of the worst damage occured [peninsula of the southern shore of Queens]

1:37 pm

does anyone have a teeny tiny clue for the de 6/36, de 7/52? i'm getting no where fast with those two

1:40 pm

is the ao word a bablet?

1:41 pm

hego

it's here a lot.

1:41 pm

hego

main artery

1:41 pm

sprite

no an artery

1:41 pm

sprite

it is the other ao, lol

1:41 pm

MollyL

But it's not a word only seen in Babble, therefore, not MY definition of a Babblet.

1:41 pm

TraderKate

ty sprite and hego, sometimes you casn't see the forest for the trees

1:41 pm

hego

agreed

1:42 pm

sprite

too true, Kate :)

1:42 pm

TraderKate

definitely not a bablet

1:42 pm

hego

this is so true Kate.

1:42 pm

hego

snap!

1:42 pm

sprite

:)

1:43 pm

MollyL

If you define Babblets as words not used in everyday conversation, the list would be thirty miles long.

1:44 pm

hego

yes

1:44 pm

TraderKate

i think aorta qualifies as an everyday word

1:44 pm

hego

oops!

1:45 pm

sprite

yeah. Babblets have a finer definition. But I bet Kate was trying from the wrong ao. I did too at first.

1:45 pm

TraderKate

the ones like the bablet for the cat sound.... which i always have to monkey forever are the ones that get me

1:45 pm

sprite

lololllllllll. Now that was subtle, Kate!

1:45 pm

MollyL

I guess that depends. Personally, ao5 doesn't come up in my everyday conversations.

1:45 pm

sprite

there are some variations on the cat sounds as well.

1:46 pm

TraderKate

yes... no plain old meows for the babblers!

1:53 pm

sprite

yeah... so I will try and not type it again

1:55 pm

sprite

wow... I came home from therapy day with so much pain that I took an oxycontin. I used to take lots of them... but have been on other medication for some time. I feel like I am kinda drunk. Again glad I don't use the stuff daily anymore!

1:56 pm

TraderKate

nasty stuff for sure sprite. glad you don't need it all the time!

1:56 pm

hego

they make me nauseous and constipated beyond belief.

1:57 pm

hego

sorry to be indelicate.

1:57 pm

sprite

me too! Might even ask my doctor for something else I could take in very bad situations. Don't like this feeling at all.

1:57 pm

sprite

*grin* no problem. It's the very truth.

1:57 pm

TraderKate

that whole family will do it - even simple coedine like tylenol1

1:58 pm

hego

that's right Kate.

1:58 pm

sprite

indeedydeed

1:58 pm

hego

I prefer nsaids.

1:59 pm

sprite

1:59 pm

sprite

is that the -fen family?

1:59 pm

TraderKate

i use meloxicam, but i find the effect doesn't last long

1:59 pm

lideola

non steroidal anti inflammatories

1:59 pm

hego

2:00 pm

hego

naproxyn

2:00 pm

lideola

ibuprofen, naproxen, etc

2:00 pm

TraderKate

lol... and you are probably the most qualified to define it

2:00 pm

hego

but a lousy typist Kate

2:01 pm

sprite

ah I see. I cannot use those in combination with my other meds.

2:01 pm

TraderKate

no! i am the worst tyypist in babble...

2:01 pm

hego

oh, too bad.

2:01 pm

hego

You can't be serious, Kate.

2:02 pm

hego

You're not even in the top ten!

2:02 pm

TraderKate

oh yes... while it has imprived a bit, they all used to joke about it

2:02 pm

TraderKate

okay, folks... the push is on... 5 to go

2:02 pm

sprite

not complaining. For most days, what I take is gabapentine in combination with simple paracetamol. Much much better than the high dose oxycontin I used to take.

2:03 pm

sprite

go Kate goooo!

2:03 pm

hego

yes, much better.

2:03 pm

hego

Go Kate!!

2:04 pm

sprite

ah, sorry. See? Even the simplest ones can be so differently named!

2:05 pm

TraderKate

2:05 pm

hego

they only share the acet root, but they are the same.

2:06 pm

sprite

no, it is not a brand name. Just another name for the same substance

2:06 pm

hego

I don't think so kate

2:07 pm

sprite

acetaminophen is the spelling. Yes, now that you said it, I see the root.

2:07 pm

Gail

hego

Then you'll help me with my remaining 75? ;)

3:43 pm

periwinkle

would someone suggest a mellow whiskey for me for the winter months

3:44 pm

periwinkle

I will help you Jilly

3:44 pm

Jillyjill

My DH (whiskey guy) suggests Makers Mark for a mellow smooth whiskey...

3:44 pm

MollyL

If you mean smooth, anything triple distilled or double malt. It's more expensive, but tastes better. And yes, Makers is excellent. Good on your husband Jilly.

3:45 pm

periwinkle

is it expensive?

3:45 pm

Jillyjill

I'm the gin expert....he's the whiskey drinker

3:45 pm

MollyL

Not in the great scheme of things. And it's often on sale here.

3:45 pm

periwinkle

I like my gin& tonics

3:46 pm

periwinkle

I will check it out thanks

3:46 pm

MollyL

There is no law that says you can't drink gin and tonic in the winter.

3:46 pm

periwinkle

cheers, Mols, it is Friday!

3:46 pm

periwinkle

I know but I think of it as more of a summer drink

3:46 pm

MollyL

*Clink*

3:46 pm

periwinkle

I will not give them up completely

3:47 pm

Jillyjill

There is a MT distilled whiskey "Never Sweat" made in Butte MT (Head Frame Spirits Inc) email cheers@headframespirits.com. I even liked it...

3:47 pm

periwinkle

can I mix the Makers with ginger ale?

3:47 pm

MollyL

(GASPS at the idea of mixing Makers with anything) Yes.

3:48 pm

3:48 pm

periwinkle

oh, you just drink it straight or on the rocks? you can see I do not know much about whiskey

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

Or you can pair it with sour mix for whiskey sour...

3:48 pm

MollyL

A lot of people (especially female people) don't care for straight liquor.

3:49 pm

periwinkle

I do like a whiskey sour.

3:49 pm

Jillyjill

Also great with tea, lemon and honey (tonic for colds)

3:49 pm

periwinkle

but you do, Molls

3:49 pm

Jillyjill

In my younger days I drank whiskey and water...

3:49 pm

MollyL

Lemon and honey yes. I wouldn't add tea to that mix though.

3:51 pm

MollyL

Peri, lets put it this way. At a party, where all the girls are drinking wine and tee-hee-ing in the kitchen, I'm out in the back yard drinking beer and doing shots with the boys. Comes from years of hanging out with musicians.

Clue for the NO7, please??

4:10 pm

jmcnrick

what are we drinking?

4:11 pm

jmcnrick

no7 is not brave

4:11 pm

MollyL

Drinkers choice.

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

*pours a jack neat*

4:12 pm

lizmac

TYVM.........fireworks.

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

*and pours it neatly*

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo liz

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

was it something i said?

4:17 pm

MollyL

I will also drink to the Mom who gave birth to 20 pounds of triplets.

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

ouch but at least that averages out to less than 7 pounds each

4:18 pm

MollyL

5, 7 and 7 with assorted ounces that pushed it over 20.

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

the boy was 12 all by himself

4:20 pm

MollyL

Yes, I remember that. You are one of the few people I know who beat me by a pound on birth weight.

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

:-) sorry to repeat my stories. . . but after a few years it is inevitable

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

11 is a feat too

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

really anything over 10 all in one package. . .

4:23 pm

MollyL

Nah, you don't repeat your stories. I just remember that because of the "in common large birth weight" thing.

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

oh good i always try to have new ones. . .

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

this virtual jack is not doing it for me. . . brb

4:24 pm

MollyL

Repeating your stories is saying the same thing over and over and over again. Which is done here, but not by you. : P

4:26 pm

jmcnrick

speaking of a new story. . . .

4:26 pm

jmcnrick

i went to pier one because i needed to replenish my supply of unbroken shot glasses. . .

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

i told them what i was looking for. . .clear glass, rounded shape no stem. . .

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

we looked all their glasses and couldn't find them and i said that was too bad because i had gotten them there before . . .

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

and this other checker said. . .that sounds like our candle holders and they are only $1 each . . . sure enough that is what i had been using for several years so i bought a bunch more. . . glass is glass

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

and they are sturdy little suckers which bounce more often than break

4:30 pm

jmcnrick

nbt

4:32 pm

zoozzoom

LOL..thats rather funny, Jmc..still you know what to ask for next time :-)

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

haha that assumes i will remember. . .but i did remember them being about $1 each so maybe

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

hi zooz

4:34 pm

zoozzoom

All you need is some candles to!

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

i have those but use them in the standard light a candle for me votive

4:35 pm

MollyL

Hmm, that will explain the wax in the liquor too.

4:35 pm

zoozzoom

lol

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

well i use beeswax candles so no harm done! haha

4:36 pm

MollyL

Votive whiskey, a new religious experience.

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

reminds me of the meteaus rose and lancer bottles with multicolored wax all dripped on them that we thought made us look so worldly!

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

well there are different ways to be lit up molls

4:38 pm

MollyL

I remember my sister melting candles so that the wax would be dripped "just so" down the sides of the bottle. But then, she is the Martha Stewart type.

4:39 pm

jmcnrick

i was quite good at that too but i also sandcast candles and sold them. . . got a fabulous deal at a candle making company going out of business

4:39 pm

jmcnrick

had a candle with 6 wicks that was from a sandcast of a large bowl and was more than 18 inches diameter

4:40 pm

jmcnrick

made a fortune (relatively speaking) selling those puppies

4:40 pm

jmcnrick

hung that candle over my bed with a "gold" chain. . . all the rage

4:42 pm

MollyL

I can almost smell the incense.

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

my *ahem* boyfriend burned incense but i always hated the smell

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

on the other hand it was a water bed

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on ravi shakir record*

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

oops got carried away. . . more than 1/2 done bbl

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

40 left

4:48 pm

Jillyjill

Hello jmc and molly...*dives back in*

4:49 pm

MollyL

*Wonders who started the misconception that the grid is a pool*

4:50 pm

Jillyjill

Not sure, but I like it!

4:51 pm

MollyL

It's the whole magical, fantasy land of Babble. With a pool and little simians typing letters for you.

4:52 pm

Jillyjill

Don't forget the cabana boys in the PB!!

4:56 pm

Jillyjill

clue for the to5/16? (simians exhausted) plz

4:56 pm

MollyL

Canadian hat

4:58 pm

dcseain

chef's hat, not just canadian

4:58 pm

Jillyjill

ty molly..got ti

4:58 pm

Jillyjill

*it

5:00 pm

MollyL

Well, by definition, it's a bunch of different kinds of hats, the similarity being "brimless". Canadians seem to like to use the word a lot though. It being French and all that.

5:02 pm

Jillyjill

I forgot about the double letter tile after I vanquished the words based off of it...can also start with a ta btw...I remember that one in a past pool..oops, I mean grid ;0

5:03 pm

MollyL

Most of today's chefs are wearing a more beanie style hat than the poofy white ones.

5:04 pm

MollyL

*Throws the beach ball to Jilly*

5:05 pm

Jillyjill

Day two of this darn cold virus is making my head thick....

5:06 pm

MollyL

Alas, I have joined the rhinovirus club. I knew it was coming. Always does, right around Thanksgiving.

5:09 pm

Jillyjill

I'm blaming mine on the 6 hour flight. I think airlines could put some sort of filter on their system for crying out loud!

5:10 pm

MollyL

Nothing like being stuck in a cylindrical tube with everyone else's germs for six hours.

5:14 pm

Jillyjill

I'm getting over mine better than my hubby...not looking forward to the 6 hour flight Dec 2013 to see our oldest graduate on the east coast.

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

*puts on surgical mask( hello everyone

5:18 pm

5:21 pm

blueheron

hello

5:22 pm

Jillyjill

Hi heron...love your icon!!

5:23 pm

blueheron

I do have photo's I took this summer of the draggies, this one was not one of them. Thanks anyway!

5:23 pm

Bugsaw

heron is the news in your icon current? I lived in Durham for my final year in high school and loved going to the big town of Dover. It is so pretty

5:25 pm

blueheron

Bugs, I haven't even read my profile. I do still live in Dover.

5:25 pm

Bugsaw

LOL - according to that you are moving there in 2 weeks

5:26 pm

blueheron

My partner/wife and I moved down here 2 years ago.

5:26 pm

Bugsaw

it is on my bucket list to go back there so I will add you to the list of people I wud like to meet

5:26 pm

blueheron

Please do!!

5:27 pm

Bugsaw

sadly, it wont be soon but I keep hoping

5:28 pm

blueheron

I hear you:))

5:30 pm

blueheron

I guess I should update my profile.

5:31 pm

Jillyjill

Well, must head out to figure out dinner pretty soon, anyone need clues?

5:31 pm

Bugsaw

or I shud read them more often ha ha ha

5:32 pm

Bugsaw

is the equ word findable if I keep looking Jilly or shud you give me a clue

5:35 pm

Nef

it's the waistline of Earth, Bugs.

5:35 pm

MollyL

Cute clue Nef. : )

5:35 pm

Bugsaw

thanks Nef. How are you today?

5:36 pm

Nef

Good Evening, Everyone. How are you all tonight?

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

YIpes, sorry, went to FB briefly...

5:36 pm

Nef

I'm fine Bugs, how are you?

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

Hello nef! How is DH holding up?

5:37 pm

Nef

hi Molly and Jilly

5:37 pm

Bugsaw

I had a great day with my tutoring kid so i am happy. He was moving forward very quickly

5:37 pm

Jillyjill

Glad to hear it bugs!

5:38 pm

Nef

Right now I have hime snoring away in the LazyBoy behind me. He hurts and doesn't know it; so I made him take some Tylenol and turn on the heated vibrator cushion and relax. I think it worked, Jillly! :-)

5:38 pm

Bugsaw

I am guessing you are still full of cold Jilly?

5:38 pm

Jillyjill

Nice job nurse! I was keeping him in prayer!

5:39 pm

Jillyjill

I feel better, but head is clogging up...

5:39 pm

Bugsaw

How sad that the pain is so constant he doesn't even know when it is bothering him. You are creative Nef

5:39 pm

Nef

Thank you, Jilly. I've been keeping your husband in my prayers too

5:41 pm

Nef

his surgery is in 10 days, I'm hoping and praying it will help and no complications this time!

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it's working nef, we had a wonderful time in Hawaii! First real vacation in 3 years...I need to remember to do that break more often!

5:41 pm

Bugsaw

I have quite a little list of people on Babble who need support. I hope this is just a glitch in the universe.

5:42 pm

Bugsaw

may I ask what kind of surgery Nef? dont answer if that is too forward.

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I wonder if it's just not that this is such a wonderful place of support that we all rely on it...

5:43 pm

Nef

cervical spine surgery (in his neck) where the spinal cord is being pinched by his spine

5:43 pm

Bugsaw

Oh, when that works he will feel SO much better. Pinched nerves are no joke.

5:44 pm

Bugsaw

Jilly when I joined Babble I did it because the people were so friendly but I never imagined we wud come to care about each other the way we do.

5:44 pm

Nef

I think this is the most caring internet site I've ever found.

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

Me too nef!

5:45 pm

MollyL

I agree and it's a shame that everyone doesn't see things that way. But, to each their own I guess.

5:45 pm

Bugsaw

It saddens me that people feel they must depart because of things said here. There is so much more caring than animosity for sure

5:46 pm

Jillyjill

Some have more ruffled feathers than others...

5:46 pm

Nef

Molly, even those we don't agree with at times will eventually become friends here

5:47 pm

Nef

it just takes time I think

5:47 pm

Bugsaw

Personally, I wud rather be corrected at the time that I made a gaff so I wud learn something than have someone take offense and leave altogether.

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

I know, it was hard the other nite when the words 'toxic' was referenced to this place..saddened me.

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

agrees with bugsaw 100%

5:48 pm

Bugsaw

me too. I saw that and felt sad because so many people DO care

5:49 pm

Nef

Wow. I'm glad I missed that then. Sorry to hear....

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

But I also know there are those that are uncomfortable with any sort of confrontation and would not feel they could directly address the situation.

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

I even read the chog log that night and really could not see that the issues were that 'toxic'...

5:50 pm

Soodle

Oh no! I'm so glad I missed any of the aforementioned nastiness. Hello everybody. (Spraying anti-feather-ruffling dust ahead of me.......)

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

((soodle))

5:51 pm

Bugsaw

Hey Soodle. We love anti-feather -ruffling dust here, welcome

5:51 pm

Jillyjill

Better wear a surgical mask too soodle... a few of us have cold viruses..

5:52 pm

Nef

but they aren't internet viruses, so I'm not wearing a mask!

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..

5:52 pm

Soodle

Hi Jilly, Bugs, Nef & Molls . My gas mask is secured....

5:53 pm

Nef

hi Soodle. :-)

5:53 pm

Jillyjill

Speaking of inappropriate things..just read about a teacher in Idaho. Had students use permanent markers on the foreheads of other students that didn't make their reading goals *shudders* She should be FIRED!

5:54 pm

Bugsaw

absolutely, she shud!

5:54 pm

Jillyjill

brb..phone

5:55 pm

Nef

OMG! How humiliating And nasty.

5:56 pm

Soodle

You know, there was a time when I would have gone back over the chog to see what you are talking about, but I think I have Babble-matured, and I don't even want to know!!! Crikey! I better start the HRT toot sweet!

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

One of the neatest things I saw was when the kinds used markers to write postive words or messages on the palms of their hands. As they walked down the halls they wud wave at the new kids to help them feel welcomed.

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

HRT? hot rum toddies?

5:57 pm

Bugsaw

I am in line Soodle

5:57 pm

MollyL

Hormone Replacement Therapy

5:58 pm

Nef

I've been trying to figure out HRT also

5:58 pm

Nef

Oh No, oh NO!

5:58 pm

Bugsaw

I wud rather have a hot rum toddie but I think you are correct Molly

5:58 pm

MollyL

And good for you Soodle. I think it's obsessive to read over every scrap of Babble chat. Perhaps if people would quit doing that, they would be content with the parts of chat they actually take part in.

5:59 pm

Soodle

Lol!! Thank you Molls!!!! Saved me a long complicated & not medically accurate explanation!!

5:59 pm

Nef

Maturity doesn't require hormone replacement therapy; I like the idea of hot rum toddies, though (even if I'm not a drinker)

6:00 pm

MollyL

Although anyone can feel free to bring on the hot toddy's. Not wild about rum, I'll take whiskey in mine.

6:00 pm

Jillyjill

I will be imbibing in something tonight...

6:00 pm

MollyL

*Alerts the Montana State Police*

6:00 pm

Soodle

Personally, I would opt for HCB (Hot Cabana Boy) over HRT.....

6:01 pm

Nef

LOL!

6:01 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...Molly I fell in love with dark rum in Hawaii...Mai Tai's are awesome!

6:01 pm

Jillyjill

*agrees with soodel*

6:01 pm

Jillyjill

*soodle

6:03 pm

Soodle

Women of Montana!! Lock up your sons, husbands, brothers & fathers!! Jillys out & about!! :-)

6:03 pm

Nef

I need to get supper ready; Just going to heat up some soup and "embellish" it a bit. BBS

6:03 pm

Bugsaw

sounds good Nef

6:04 pm

Soodle

Laters Nef. :-)

6:04 pm

maryanne

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

Soodle

Hi Maryanne. Ch right back atcha!! :-)

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

hi maryanne!

6:06 pm

maryanne

sorry fang was to be in babble

6:07 pm

Soodle

Bugs - I love your profile bio!!

6:08 pm

MollyL

Ma, what's for dinner?
Embellished soup.

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

maryanne you leaked out of lurking mode the way we ALL do sometimes. no problems

6:08 pm

Soodle

Maryanne- lets see what delights the PB has to offer this evening.....

6:09 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all.

6:09 pm

MollyL

I need to read that book Nef. I know some broken people who are constantly causing me pain. In my butt.
: P

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

thanks Soodle, I am loving this stage of doing more of what I want to do than what I am expected or obliged to do.

6:10 pm

Soodle

Rofl Molls. If that conversation happened chez Soodle, there would be a chorus of 'Oh No!!! No embellished soup AGAIN'..

6:10 pm

Jillyjill

Hello lizlin!

6:11 pm

Lizlin

:)

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

Just read your post Soodle...LOL

6:11 pm

Soodle

Hi Lizlin. :-)

6:11 pm

MollyL

*Pictures to the poor waifs at Chez Soodle, saying "Please Ma'am, may I have some more? *

6:14 pm

Soodle

Then the waifs (?) get whacked over the knuckles with the (embellished) soup spoon, and told to drink up and shut up! A la Charles Dickens!!

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

my kids went thru a stage of asking "What's for supper?" and then groaning and whining no matter what it was so.....

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to fin ish up this puppy, it's a toopsy turvy one...

6:16 pm

Bugsaw

one day I was making ground beef with rice and veggies so I said, "Bats brains and maggots." They cheered and loved it

6:16 pm

MollyL

*Wonders if tomato/basil soup with goldfish crackers floating in it counts as "embellished" *

6:16 pm

Bugsaw

weird kids but I love them

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

would at my house

6:18 pm

Jillyjill

Funny how all those whiny complaints of dinner now have turned into requests for same when they return home!

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

LOL you are so right Jilly. the world works in circles

6:19 pm

MollyL

The only whining and complaining I ever got is if there wasn't enough for seconds. My boys were always very appreciative of my cooking, even as young ones.

6:20 pm

Jillyjill

I had ones from opposite ends of the spectrum...one always complained about my "Experiemental" food...

6:21 pm

MollyL

<---Stares wide-eyed at the screen, wondering about "experimental" food

6:21 pm

Jillyjill

But we raised them to be open to try new things; the always had to take at least a small portion of new food.

6:21 pm

Bugsaw

I always figured they had something else in mind and were disappointed when what I was preparing was not what they had in mind.

6:22 pm

Bugsaw

finito! anyone need a clue before I go on a food search?

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

LOL Molly, I like to try things in crock pots. Usually successful, occasionally not so much...

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT bugsaw!!

6:23 pm

MollyL

Good luck in your search Bugs. I hope you don't have to forage too far.

6:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

grats bugs

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

I'm about to depart for supper search too, so if you need clues...

6:23 pm

Lizlin

congrats bugsaw! 20 to go!!!

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

Go lizlin!

6:23 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evenings :)

6:23 pm

Bugsaw

go Liz go. Ok I am off after taking a bow. Have fun everyone

6:23 pm

Soodle

Great stuff Bugs!!!

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

*waves bye to bugsaw*

6:25 pm

Nef

Oh, great! Everyone leaves while I return while my soup heats up

6:26 pm

MollyL

"Everyone"? Soodle, you and I are chopped liver again.

6:26 pm

Jillyjill

*small voice* I'm still here...I think hubby will make a Subway run.

6:26 pm

Lizlin

And me?

6:26 pm

MollyL

You too, Liz.

6:27 pm

Nef

no, Molly. I thought you both were leaving too (I saw too many people saying goodbye)

6:27 pm

MollyL

Always good to put a solid sub in your stomach before you go out and get liquored up.

6:28 pm

Jillyjill

Whadda ya mean 'go out'...staying in for the liquored up part...deference to age I guess

6:28 pm

Soodle

The seldom referred to Daughter of Soodle delighted in pointing out a recently publushed survey. Apparently, men like tall blondes with green eyes, with a scientific background, whi don't smoke& who drink socially!! All boxes ticked by Sarah. Woo-hoo..... I might be having to buy a wedding outfit soon.....

6:28 pm

Lizlin

that's good - don't have to drive if you stay in!

6:28 pm

MollyL

Oh, no wonder Mr. Jilly is going to fetch dinner. He's hoping to get lucky tonight. : P

6:29 pm

Lizlin

Soodle - start saving!

6:29 pm

Soodle

Chopped liver??????

6:29 pm

MollyL

Publushed? Would that be survey results that embarrass you to read? : P

6:30 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

6:30 pm

Lizlin

lol

6:30 pm

stidgmere

Hi, Just starting. Busy day even though I had planned out a quiet day doing filing and indexing of papers. Instead, drum roll, I took Stidgrandson and he helped me choose an amplifier for my keyboard. Necessary for the orchestral stuff we're doing.

6:30 pm

Lizlin

Hi Sue and stidmere

6:30 pm

MollyL

Hi Gran Mere. Nice of boyo to help you out.

6:31 pm

uusue2

hi gmere, liz, molly, soodle!

6:31 pm

Soodle

Pedantic Molls!!! Am struggling (striggling) with this blessed IPhone gadget.....

6:31 pm

stidgmere

I hope Subway doesn't have a lot of water in it. Did that ever get cleared up? Yes, our grandboys are a joy.

6:32 pm

MollyL

Well if you would quit high tailing it off to tropical seaside villages, you might be able to afford a new lap top. : P

6:32 pm

Soodle

Hello Gmere & Sue. :-)

6:32 pm

stidgmere

I uu, liz, molly and all. Soodle, hope your Irish Eyes are Smiling.

6:33 pm

Jillyjill

Molly...please see references to viral laden hubby and me..no romance, one year we passed bugs back and forth all winter...

6:33 pm

Jillyjill

Hello uusue!

6:34 pm

Soodle

Yarra, GMere, if I wasn't smiling, I'd be crying!! So I'm smiling!!! :-)

6:35 pm

uusue2

hi jill!

6:35 pm

Nef

hi sue and stidg! (I was off serving DH his soup)

6:35 pm

uusue2

hi nef!

6:35 pm

Jillyjill

How is Frank uusue?

6:35 pm

Soodle

Embillished?

6:35 pm

uusue2

getting a little better, jill, although now I am worried about his lungs

6:36 pm

stidgmere

Hi Nef. I have a chicken in the oven. It need to get brown and juicy in an hour and a half. Otherwise, I am done for the night. No more work out of me.

6:36 pm

Lizlin

Sounds yummy - reminds me of last night!

6:36 pm

Jillyjill

Are they having him use a spirometer to clear his lungs post-surgery?

6:36 pm

MollyL

If I wasn't smiling I'd be crying??? *Wonders*

6:37 pm

uusue2

yes but he's not using it much, and he's in a lot more pain after this surgery than the last one (no epidural) so he's not able to do much

6:37 pm

Nef

yes, Soodle. We started with fresh avocado halves ands tomatoes; now the soup was a can of Healthy choice chicken and rice with mixed veggies (actually, leftovers from last night), fresh portobella mushrooms, and all sorts of other stuff like that

6:37 pm

MollyL

Is that like a spirograph for the lungs?

6:38 pm

Lizlin

:)

6:38 pm

Jillyjill

I hope they did teach him how to 'splint' his incision when using spirometer...

6:38 pm

uusue2

it's a thing where he breathes in and a marker shows his lung volume (or something)

6:38 pm

uusue2

they did but it's so tender he doesn't like to apply any pressyre

6:38 pm

MollyL

*Jots down nursie medicalese words*

6:38 pm

Nef

sue, make him turn, deep breathe and cough every hour (even if it hurts a little work will help)

6:38 pm

uusue2

*pressure

6:39 pm

MollyL

The thing with the balls in it Sue?

6:39 pm

Jillyjill

Sometimes people tend not to use the demand morphine regularily enough. He should make sure he takes a dose before he deep breathes.

6:40 pm

Jillyjill

There goes Molly again with the balls...

6:40 pm

Nef

and hold both sides of the pillow (like a dressing), not over the incision

6:40 pm

uusue2

right, molly

6:40 pm

Jillyjill

Good point nef!

6:40 pm

uusue2

he's using the demand morphine about as often as it will let him, jill

6:41 pm

Nef

and yes, encourage drugs! He won't get addicted if he uses it now when he needs it!

6:41 pm

Soodle

Sue, Frank is in my prayers.

6:41 pm

MollyL

You heard it here first folks. A nurse saying "encourage drugs".

6:41 pm

uusue2

thanks, soodle!

6:42 pm

Nef

does he have something else ordered, sue? Maybe he needs to get the pain at a lower level so he can move and cough

6:42 pm

uusue2

I don't think so, nef, but will ask

Lizlin

15 left! Stupid bitey gn / 4 critters hiding in the top left of the grid. Could I see them?????? No! So typed them for the sake of it! There they were!!! GRRRRRR!!!!

6:42 pm

uusue2

he sort of half-coughed a little but it was extremely painful

6:42 pm

uusue2

lol, liz!

6:42 pm

Soodle

Elbows her way to the top of the line........ I'll take some Happy Pills please.....

6:43 pm

Nef

Molly, I know that sounds odd, but people don't move and cough if they hurt too much

6:43 pm

Lizlin

I hope it gets easier for Frank v soon :)

6:43 pm

MollyL

I'm still wondering about the people who don't use the demand morphine enough.

6:43 pm

MollyL

I was kidding Nef, I got what you meant. : )

6:44 pm

Nef

Sorry, Soodle; no Happy Pills for you....

6:44 pm

Lizlin

Go with drugs - I don't believe in suffering if it's not necessary!

6:44 pm

Jillyjill

Molly, , many people do fear the addiction..

6:44 pm

stidgmere

ty lizlin needed the gns.

6:44 pm

Lizlin

That was the obvious one! I just couldn't see it for looking!

6:44 pm

Nef

(I may be a mean nurse; but I don't like people hurting)

6:45 pm

MollyL

<--Doesn't believe Nef is a mean nurse.

6:45 pm

Nef

my kids think I am! :-)

6:45 pm

Soodle

Me too! I had 3 C Sections, and what I feared most in the aftermath was a coughing or laughing fit! Both were excrutiating!

6:45 pm

Lizlin

Whadda kids know?!!!!

6:45 pm

Jillyjill

Mine too nef..

6:46 pm

Lizlin

Laughing after surgery??? Not funny!

6:47 pm

uusue2

ok, nurse just looked at him, it's in his throat (not chest) and she will see if she can get him an expectorant

6:47 pm

Nef

when I worked ICU, I'd medicate my pts. first; then work them and make them cough and move. I didn't want them hurting; but I did want them moving

6:48 pm

Soodle

I have the meanest friends Liz! They took pleasure in my pain, by making me laugh!!

6:48 pm

Lizlin

Laughing after surgery - perhaps not funny - but so good for morale!

6:48 pm

MollyL

Can't the nurse skooch it out with one of those aspirator thingies? (How's that for medical lingo?)

6:48 pm

uusue2

I'm trying to get him to smile, and to distract him

6:49 pm

uusue2

we'll see if the expectorant helps

6:49 pm

Nef

suction isn't fun, Molly. An expectorant will make him cough

6:49 pm

Jillyjill

IT's a gravity thing Molly, moving around keeps things from pooling anywhere

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Mine did too!

6:49 pm

MollyL

In Jersey, they would say he needs to hahk a loogie.

6:49 pm

Lizlin

make me laugh I mean - after surgery! Afterwards it felt great to have laughed!

6:50 pm

Jillyjill

Suction well, pretty much sucks..and increases chances of infection.

6:50 pm

uusue2

he does indeed, molly!!! (we were both jerseyites when we met, back in 1967...)

6:50 pm

Soodle

As the good old Readers Digest said:- Laughter is the best Medicine!

6:50 pm

Lizlin

And it's right!

6:51 pm

Nef

here I thought it hauwk a loogie!

6:51 pm

rururocks

you guys are grosser than men

6:51 pm

MollyL

You could be right Nef.

6:52 pm

Nef

(I bet neither spelling is in Enable!)

6:52 pm

uusue2

you're just figuring this out, ruru?

6:52 pm

Nef

what? Us? ruru, we haven't started yet!

6:52 pm

Jillyjill

I used this exercise with my patients...Imagine climbing up a steep mountain (take a breath in), when you get to the top look at the view (holding breathe a moment increases pressure to loosen congestion), then go down slowly taking twice as long to exhale as inhale (again, promotes expectoration)

6:52 pm

MollyL

Hey, I always say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

6:52 pm

Lizlin

And your problem with that Ru?

6:53 pm

Soodle

Lets freak RuRu out and talk about 'wimmens problems'...

6:53 pm

MollyL

Jilly do they then have to imagine twirling around in the mountain meadow singing "the hills are alive..."

6:53 pm

rururocks

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

6:53 pm

Jillyjill

Twirling optional

6:53 pm

Jillyjill

*watches ruru run*

6:54 pm

MollyL

Soodle, that is the fastest way to clear a room of men.

6:54 pm

Jillyjill

Welcome to the WWW (wonderful world of women) ru

6:54 pm

Soodle

Can I be Mother Superior?

6:54 pm

Nef

That's great, Jilly! I always told my patients to take 4 big, quick breaths and on the last exhale, I wanted 2 low-pitched coughs (and I'd demonstrate for them). If their cough was high-pitched, they'd have to do it again

6:55 pm

Jillyjill

You are mean ;) I usually found that holding a breath and letting it out slowly caused a good cough...

6:55 pm

MollyL

Yes Soodle, and I will be Maria. Because as the baroness said "I wouldn't make a very good nun."

6:56 pm

Jillyjill

*runs from nuns*

6:56 pm

Soodle

Well.. There goes RuRu....

6:57 pm

Lizlin

100 down - 9 to go!

6:57 pm

Soodle

How do you solve a problem like Mo-Holly....

6:57 pm

MollyL

<---Is sure that her tainted soul is still on the prayer list of every nun who ever taught her

6:57 pm

Nef

Jilly, why would you run from nuns?

6:57 pm

stidgmere

Don't we get to vote on Mother Superior? Or does the last one out the door get the title?

6:57 pm

uusue2

go liz!

6:58 pm

Jillyjill

just joking, but actually, the nun at our parish and I do not get along much..

6:58 pm

Nef

Stidg; You can be Mother Superior! (age has its privledges

6:58 pm

Jillyjill

Ahhh, dinner delivered...gotta *poof*

6:58 pm

uusue2

bye jilly!

6:58 pm

MollyL

I just don't want to be dumb Liesel who didn't have the good sense to jump Rolf in the gazebo before he went all Nazi boy.

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Bye Jilli

6:58 pm

Nef

bye Jilly

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Sorry - JillYYYYYY (not i)

6:59 pm

Soodle

(jilly)

7:00 pm

stidgmere

I'm not THAT old nef. I'm retired but not old. I'm just beginning to accept that I'll never be the youngest the room any more, probably.

7:02 pm

Nef

just go visit in the nursing home and you will be, stidg!

7:02 pm

Soodle

In one fell swoop, Molly's post at 6.58 has RUINED The Soynd Of Music for me for life! Thank You Molly!!!!

7:02 pm

Soodle

Emmm Sound...

7:03 pm

MollyL

Oh, just stick your fingers in your ears and sing "I Am Sixteen Going On Seventeen". You'll forget all about it.

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Any clues for the 2nd qu 5 /16 (the middle one) would be really appreciated!!!!

7:04 pm

MollyL

Like royalty, only spelled different.

7:04 pm

Nef

7:05 pm

Lizlin

Soodle

7:08 pm

Soodle

Lah dee dah!!!

7:08 pm

MollyL

Ti, what you sneak your poteen into

7:08 pm

MollyL

Damn, I missed la.

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Leaving 5 words for later on - probably should get some fresh air - dull and rainy day though!!! :( Enjoy your evenings. Back later :)

7:09 pm

Soodle

Which will bring us back to Doh......

7:09 pm

Lizlin

La di dah!

7:09 pm

MollyL

Or do (doh is what Homer Simpson says)

7:09 pm

MollyL

Now, where is Yul Brynner. I want to polka around the ballroom.

7:10 pm

Nef

I think you're mixing your musical, Molly

7:10 pm

MollyL

No, I'm just on a Rogers and Hammerstein rush.

7:12 pm

Nef

okay; I'm not much of a movie fan; but I do like musicals

7:13 pm

Soodle

Jeepers. Mollys gone all musical. I'm just going to leave the room. I'm reversing out, unobtrusively, and melting into the background....

7:14 pm

Soodle

Suddenly reappearing...... Hey Molls! Wanna do Mama Mia?

7:14 pm

MollyL

*Turns up the Rogers and Hammerstein REAL LOUD*

7:14 pm

Nef

It's okay, Soodles, sometimes we have to burst into song (and this must be Molly's time)

7:16 pm

Soodle

Nef!!!!! I'm Irish!!! Sing-songs are part of what I AM!!!!

7:16 pm

Nef

I know, Soodles; but Molls wants to too!

7:17 pm

MollyL

Not ABBA I don't.

7:18 pm

Nef

It's one of my DH's favorite groups1 (The other is Iron Butterfly)

7:18 pm

Soodle

Ok! But sing the Molly Special!

7:21 pm

Soodle

I was in a pub one time, & there was a reluctant singer. The host urged him to sing the song he sung at his parent's wedding. Bless him, the significance of it totally passed him by!

7:22 pm

Nef

LOL!

7:23 pm

MollyL

Speaking of Irish pubs, I got my son the most unique Mullingar pewter shots I have ever seen. It's a leprechaun sitting next to the flagon that forms the shot.

7:24 pm

MollyL

*One of the most

7:24 pm

Nef

Could someone please clue that upper N for me? Between that and the W I can't see a single word

7:25 pm

MollyL

Sorry, it's technically called a "whiskey measure"

7:25 pm

MollyL

The N sounds like a married maid of honor

7:26 pm

Nef

thank you, Molly!

7:26 pm

rururocks

a RYE comment for sure

7:26 pm

Soodle

Molly, Mullingar is only about 8 miles from my home. If you want anything else from there, I can get it for you & ship it free.

7:26 pm

Nef

(and I've been watching the Egyptian programs too)

7:27 pm

MollyL

I probably don't want to know how much money I could have saved doing that Soodle. Considering I like the thing so much I got one for myself too.

7:28 pm

Soodle

Maith an cailin, Molls!

7:30 pm

MollyL

Hey, no one else gets me cool stuff so I either get it for myself or I don't get it.

7:31 pm

Nef

good for you, Molly.

7:32 pm

Soodle

Gonna bid yiz all a good night now. Once again, thank you all for the smiles and the company (if not the sing song)! Hugs all round(((((())))))

7:32 pm

stidgmere

Bye Soodle.

7:32 pm

Nef

good night, Soodles. Sleep well!

7:32 pm

MollyL

Good sleep to ye lass.

7:35 pm

Nef

nearing half way!

7:39 pm

Nef

over half way! I'm thrilled! I've been so exhausted this week I didn't finish a single grid; and didn't even start the last 2!

7:46 pm

cosdem

ryan bought home every hostess item they had at his work lol

7:47 pm

rururocks

did he have a twinkie in his eye?

7:47 pm

Jillyjill

Did he Ding-Dong the doorbell?

7:47 pm

cosdem

lol...

7:48 pm

cosdem

molly did u hear about 666 and last resort?

7:48 pm

rururocks

he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell

7:48 pm

cosdem

what great zingers from you all

7:49 pm

rururocks

yo ho!

7:49 pm

Jillyjill

We'll always have the 'Twinkie Defense'...

7:49 pm

Jillyjill

For those old enough to remember that reference

7:49 pm

rururocks

I used to work for Hostess when I was in college .. in SF

7:50 pm

cosdem

ryans dad used to work for hostess.. he now works for wonder bread and he sayshes got at least 20 calls from hostess employees asking for jobs today

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

Then you are old enough...

7:50 pm

cosdem

he said they went tot he factory today and the folks met them at the time clock and said "go home, turn in ur keys now"

7:51 pm

Jillyjill

I hate seeing companies do that RIGHT before the holiday season...sucks big time!

7:51 pm

Nef

Jilly, I don't know the "Twinkie Defense", but my excuse is that I've never had a Twinkie either

7:52 pm

cosdem

ryan works at 7-11 and theyre upset because hostess will not come pick up the overstocked items they have to either sell it or write it off now

7:53 pm

JeeWhiz

Help with no7 please.

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it's actually a tragic history. When Harvey Milk and Mayor Muscone were assassinated, Dan White tried the defense that he had eaten too much junk foot and that is why he shot them..several twinkies were consumed...hence "Twinkie Defense"

7:54 pm

Minveryork

no7/32 is negative prefix plus he4/5 word JeeWhiz&hello!

8:07 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Lizlin on your fireworks display!Way to go!

8:07 pm

Jillyjill

8:07 pm

Nef

Hi, Min. How are you today?

8:09 pm

Lizlin

Back later for new grid but I'll be in and out to see if anyone needs any clues. :)

8:09 pm

Minveryork

Thank you Jillyjill,but that was totally made up.I do not have an ex-husband. Only been married once. Although I am having problems with current hubby, he has NEVER cheated on me and I do not believe that he ever would.

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef.I'm well. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend

8:11 pm

Nef

Oh, Min! I'm so glad to see that! You deserve a relaxing weekend too.

8:11 pm

Nef

(And I don't have the grandson for the first Friday night in --probably a year!)

8:12 pm

Jillyjill

Relieved, but hate to hear of any troubles...I know you had illuded to some life situation earlier this week.

8:12 pm

Jillyjill

Yay for Nef!!

8:14 pm

Nef

It kind of feels odd, you knoow? But I told my son earlier this week that this was a tough week for me and I've been tired. Wonder if we'll have him tomorrow?

8:17 pm

Jillyjill

Odd, but well deserved! I'm sure your son understands.

8:20 pm

Nef

He was laid off from his job 2 weeks ago; after 9 years of working there; giving 110% all of the time. All those mandatory 12 hour days, 7 days/week for the past 6 months... :-(

8:21 pm

Nef

He was QA supervisor for the largest gaming company in the country; they laid off 1/3 of their permanent staff.

8:28 pm

Nef

well I just killed the chog! BBS!

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

No you didn't nef...we got yet another confused call from my mother in law...

Nef, that is so wrong. I'm sorry for your son.

8:33 pm

Jillyjill

HI jes...

8:33 pm

uusue2

surgeon came by and says Frank is doing well, suggested chewing gum instead of downing lots of ice which his system may not be ready for yet

8:34 pm

Jillyjill

Whoops, that was in reference to molly..maybe it's me that's confused

8:34 pm

Nef

back again. Glad to see you all.

8:34 pm

uusue2

hi again nef!

8:35 pm

Nef

Is there something extra that Frank has for pain, sue?

8:35 pm

uusue2

no, they seem to think he shouldn't need it

8:36 pm

MollyL

Whoops? Confused? I'm lost. I was referring to Nef's son losing his job.

8:36 pm

Jillyjill

Is he using the pump regularily sue?

8:36 pm

uusue2

oh yes, jill

8:36 pm

Nef

so, he should just use the PCA Morphine as much as he can til he gets some relief?

8:36 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

8:37 pm

Jillyjill

No, i typed jes, since she had just been on when I read your comment.

8:37 pm

Nef

YAY, sue!!!! WTG!!!

8:38 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT uusue!!

8:38 pm

uusue2

yes, that's the plan, and he should be a lot better tomorrow

8:38 pm

uusue2

surgery was just yesterday, after all...

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

there is a comic featuring the crappiness of working in the gaming industry, nef. perhaps your son would enjoy it/could write stories for them?

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

http://trenchescomic.com/

8:39 pm

Jillyjill

And it can be slower with having the second surgery so close to the first.

8:40 pm

uusue2

exactly, jill! I had a hysterectomy (many years ago) and cannot imagine being opened up again 6 days later.

8:41 pm

MollyL

Nef, poor guy. Must feel kicked in the gut. Nine years and POOF all gone.

8:43 pm

Nef

jes; I'll show that to my son (but I don't get it myself...)

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

you've gotta start at the beginning, that's just the most recent. but there are stories under the comic that are write-in tales from people who work in the industry

8:44 pm

smores

hi again

8:45 pm

Nef

He's taking it well so far; using ALL of their resources for resumes, interview practice, etc.; and his sick/vac pay; severance and bonus pay will go through til April. I'm not sure about the health insurance though

8:45 pm

jesdraggon

that's a pretty nice severance pay

8:45 pm

Jillyjill

I am going to have to get off, my m-i-l is calling again...we just moved her into a retirement place (should be in assisted living but is not) Now is calling several times a day not knowing where she is and wanting us to move her back...*sigh* *poof*

8:45 pm

Nef

okay, jes. As I said, I'll send it to him. Thanks

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

bye, jilly. good luck!

8:46 pm

Nef

good luck, Jilly.

8:46 pm

MollyL

*Says a prayer for Jilly's mother in law* Senior confusion is so sad.

8:46 pm

smores

Bye Jilly, so sorry :(

8:48 pm

uusue2

((((jilly)))))

8:52 pm

MollyL

It's especially hard dealing with a senior who has confusion when they are long distance. We had to move my Dad closer to me when that was going on, so that one of us would be able to "be there" for him.

8:53 pm

Nef

the saddest thing is that Alzheimers is hereditary. I wonder if her MIL also has it?

8:54 pm

MollyL

All I know about her mother in law is the move Jilly just mentioned.

8:54 pm

Nef

Same here.

9:00 pm

Nef

Naches girl

Any clues for the long gh?

9:14 pm

Nef

Naches, it's pt of the 6

9:14 pm

smores

g + similar to he4 but extra vowel

9:14 pm

Minveryork

gh 6/27 word is gh plus a long period of time plus a vowel.

9:15 pm

Minveryork

gh8/60 word is past tense of the gh 6/27 word Naches Girl

9:15 pm

MollyL

It's raining clues again. : D

11:36 pm

cosdem

11:37 pm

cosdem

I have a shelf full in my fridge of hostess products. one of the perks of being married to a store manager at 7-11 lol

11:37 pm

Christine

No longer eat sugar, but I loved DingDongs, and HoHos.

11:37 pm

cosdem

the hostess outlet store here is empty. very very empty.

11:38 pm

Christine

Isn't it sad, after such a long time, to lose part of your youth. One of the first things I discovered when I came to the US.

cosdem

Very sad. We all grew up with hostess :( Stupid greedy CEOs

11:45 pm

well the twinkies will live forever...

11:46 pm

rururocks

because they have enough preservatives to make them outlast coyotes

11:48 pm

cosdem

they're going for at least 10,000 dollars at one ebay post

11:48 pm

Christine

There's a company called The Vermont Country Store; people often apply to them to find some long- lost candy, or cosmetic, and the company locates a small business that reproduces said item. Soooo, eventually, you will be able to buy your Hostess goodies.

11:48 pm

cosdem

I have found recipes to make twinkies. very easy too.

11:49 pm

Hostess says the Twinkies shelf-liofe is 25 days.
