Hi Bobby. What are your plans for the weekend?

8:03 am

Anniebrook

he said "cleaning his room and watching football". He is also going food shopping later with me.

8:03 am

Tell him that I have the same plans.

8:03 am

Anniebrook

He said "there you go".

hi dear all. How's life for you and how's today's grid?

8:20 am

hi again, was off reading mail and whatnot

8:21 am

sprite

wb doube U sue. How are things going?

8:21 am

Scrabbler

How are you and Frank?

8:21 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, Bobby likes to look at and read baseball books especially teams from the 1800 and early 1900. He has a small library of such books. I get him a book for his birthday every year.

8:21 am

uusue2

ok, sprite, didn't get good news on Thursday but we are gearing up for the fight

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Has Bobby been to Cooperstown?

8:22 am

uusue2

scrabs, thanks for sending us to the U of Chicago - they were very helpful and will be on board with us now

8:22 am

sprite

so sorry to hear that :( Will check your profile.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, Yes he has.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

(((sue)))

8:23 am

uusue2

Annie, how are you doing in the aftermath of the hurricane? I've caught snippets and it sounds like it will be a while until things are back to normal.

8:24 am

sprite

sue, could I please read the caring bridge reports?

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Sue, I just read the update. I ALWAYS recommend to get to a comprehensive cancer center and get 2nd and 3rd opinions. Too many people are passive when it comes to health care, especially serious medical problems.

8:24 am

Anniebrook

sue, We still have no power. Working off generators. All the transformers and wires have to be replaced since they were underground and ruined.

8:25 am

uusue2

sprite, you have to sign up for the site, all it needs is your email and then you set up a password

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Sue, get Frank on vitamin D--antioxidant and immune system booster. www.vitamindcouncil.org

8:25 am

sprite

oh ok, will do, thank you

8:25 am

uusue2

will do, scrabs

8:25 am

uusue2

wow, annie, sounds like it will be a long haul!!

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Annie, I didn't know generators were being used.

8:26 am

uusue2

scrabs, our local cancer center has ties to Loyola and the University of Wisconsin also; we will see them on Monday and get things rolling

8:26 am

Anniebrook

another month should do it. huge generators for each building.

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Great--get cutting-edge oncologists involved.

8:27 am

uusue2

they already find him interesting and unusual, which is good

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Good, you want docs that join in the battle rather than seem hopeless.

8:29 am

uusue2

exact;y, and even the one with the not-so-good prediction didn't seem at all hopeless

8:29 am

uusue2

*exactly (darn fingers)

8:29 am

sprite

*hugs sue* My best wishes to you and Frank and I will keep on keeping you in my prayers.

8:30 am

uusue2

thanks, sprite!

8:30 am

Anniebrook

Frank is also in my prayers.

8:31 am

uusue2

thanks to you too, annie, and we will be hoping for quick repairs to your transformers and wires!

8:32 am

Anniebrook

thanks :)

8:32 am

sprite

Annie, I hope things will get back to more close to normal soon for you :)

8:32 am

uusue2

anyway, must go feed animals, walk the dog, and so on - bbl!

8:32 am

Anniebrook

later, sue

8:32 am

sprite

bye sue *hug*

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Sue, our most recent patient with cancer is a 13 yr old boy with abdominal pain and weight loss for 1 mo. He presented with a bowel obstruction and was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma. Tell Frank to think of Nathaniel as he endures his recovery and treatment. Frank is not alone.

8:33 am

Morning all!!

quite an evil grid, it seems

howdy mimi

8:55 am

MimiCat

Kind of slow today....my Dodger cat had another seizure at 4 this morning. Hate when that happens (about once a month). Nothing I can do but be supportive.

8:56 am

MimiCat

{crossy}

8:56 am

sprite

aw Mimi, that is so sad :(

8:56 am

MimiCat

After he has one and is back up, he goes around crying for a couple of hours....breaks my heart.

8:57 am

crosshair

epilepsy?

8:57 am

crosshair

diabetic?

8:57 am

sprite

I can imagine

8:59 am

MimiCat

No one knows for sure if he has epilepsy but that's what I think it might be. I don't want him on medication every day for something that happens infrequently as the medication can be a problem. I thought he had outgrown it about a year ago since he didn't have one for several months. They told me that can happen. I just give him lots of love and he always comes right back to his feisty self after a couple of hours.

9:00 am

sprite

that last bit is good :)

9:00 am

crosshair

you had a vet look at him?

9:01 am

MimiCat

I spoke with two vets and the only thing they said they could do was a neurological workup but I have no money for something like that and they told me it could only diagnose the problem (maybe) and do nothing to fix it.

9:01 am

crosshair

we have a vet in house here in babble land.jesdragon,she may have some advice

9:02 am

crosshair

poor kitty

9:03 am

crosshair

yes they are expensive.just over a year os so ago we had a giant cyst on one of our cats tails explode and killed all the nerves in her tail so half of it had to be but off..was 1600 dollars by the time all was said and done

9:04 am

I have Terra insured. If *knock wood* anything ever happens to him, he will get the care he needs no matter the costs. Or I hope, anyway.

9:05 am

sprite

hiya smores :)

9:05 am

Mr Bob

Morning all

9:05 am

MimiCat

I'll talk to her when I see her here. But I've worked with animals a lot and know much about cat health myself and have researched it thoroughly. Just one of those things that remains in the gray area. Even if I wanted to medicate him it would be nearly impossible to do so....just that kind of cat. But he is happy the rest of the time and very affectionate with me. Since he and his sister were strays (so was my other cat) at least he has a good home now.

9:05 am

sprite

hi Mr Bob

9:05 am

MimiCat

9:05 am

MimiCat

Hi, Bob!

9:05 am

It just isn't an option for me right. I can't even afford to go to the doctor myself and need to do so badly. Until my SSI comes in, I'm broke.

Sprite, I just concentrate on what I DO have and let that be my focus. No point doing otherwise.

9:08 am

here we have universal health care.everyone pays at tax time.everyone is covered.working,not working,living on street,everyone gets health care.period

9:09 am

Judi

Happy Saturday, kids!

9:09 am

MimiCat

I agree, crossy. Here in Arizona they changed our state healthcare to exclude anyone who doesn't have young children---how nuts is that? Arizona makes NO sense politically. I wish we had the Canadian system here but I doubt we ever will.

9:09 am

sprite

Mimi, been in that place a couple of times too... you are right. But I wish better for you, and SO4 ;)

9:09 am

MimiCat

Hi, Judi!

9:09 am

sprite

hi Judi, to you too

9:10 am

Judi

Was reading back in chat about animal costs. I share your laments. Just the food alone. Oy. The critters eat better than the humans in our house.

9:11 am

crosshair

well,if obamacare is done correctly,it will bring you halfway there.it looks kind of like our old o.H.I.P system we had right before we went universal health care

9:11 am

sprite

don't they just, grin

9:11 am

MimiCat

Thanks, sprite. My lawyer thinks the money will be coming through in a couple of months. In the meantime, I have to find rent money every month and it's stressing me out completely. My cardiologist is afraid I'll have another heart attack from the stress since I'm having chest pain again.

9:11 am

(9mimi))

9:12 am

MimiCat

Thanks for the support....didn't mean to bring everyone down this morning. Let's change the subject and get happy!!

9:12 am

sprite

omg I can so imagine. Nothing as scary as risking losing a place to live. *sending positive vibes to Mimi and busloads full of helping angels*

9:12 am

Judi

That's not good Mimi. Any family around who can float you a loan?

9:13 am

crosshair

subject change..mmm..how about bacon and breakfast food??? :)))))

9:13 am

Judi

*nodding* Tummy growling.

9:14 am

MimiCat

Judi, my family has been taking care of it for quite some time but are now unable to do so. My ex even paid my rent a few times. I have wonderful friends who help as much as they can and there are organizations that also help. Just take it one day at a time.

9:14 am

MimiCat

Crossy, all roads lead to bacon!! I'm going to have chicken paprikash for breakfast. At least the government gives me a decent food allowance!

9:16 am

Judi

Ooh. My step-mother used to make that. Her Hungarian specialty. Are you Hungarian, mimi?

9:17 am

Judi

I just noticed that those who live in Indiana should be offended by today's grid. "Hoosier" is not accepted.

9:18 am

MimiCat

Nope, Irish. I make it differently from the traditional Hungarian. Mine is more tomato-based.

9:18 am

sprite

fireflies. Not the easiest of grids. Off to my little bed again... bye all *hugs*

9:18 am

Judi

Ah. *Fond memories of chicken paprikash*.

9:19 am

MimiCat

Sleep well, sprite and big hugs to you, too!

9:19 am

Judi

We're off to get our own breakfast! See y'all later! *POOF*

9:19 am

crosshair

crossy will make breakfast for the p.b..lets see..how,s about 3 eggs western omelette with mushrooms,sweet valencia onions and apple wood smoked quebec cheddar and some mini potato pancakes with ice cold apple sauce for dipping,a few rashers of apple wood smoked,maple kissed bacon and a big glass of chilled orange juice to wash it all down

9:20 am

MimiCat

My recipe isn't that difficult and I had so many people asking for it that I finally wrote it down. If you want it, send me an em (in my profile) and I'll happily send it to you.

9:21 am

MimiCat

Now I'm REALLY hungry, crossy!!

9:21 am

Good Enough

sounds delicious crossy! i'll leave some of the banana bread with chocolate chips that my DH made last night in there too.

10:00 am

cross, a friend of mine found a chemical that cures breast cancer in animals. it has been 5 years since and the committees are still meeting to allow human studies. it is not the scientists who are the problem, it is the lawyers and the legal world and beaurocracy that are the problem. it is terrible. just beyond belief. the u.s. used to have great medicine but now it is all stymied by the beaurocrats here. this is all in response to your site about you. i pray you never again have cancer.

10:00 am

did we settle what the second row o is?

10:00 am

mkg

i have all o words from the o's with one exception: the o in fourth row and second o down. just to by clear.

ruby, you must write to your congressman and senators. tell them you heard that at NIH a scientist has a cure for breast cancer in animals and why isnt there human studies being done? it has been in committees for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!! and get all your fellow survivors to write and call.

10:03 am

crosshair

there4 are many potential cures out there right now mkg.in canada we have a fella who may have found one,but the drug in question is cheap to buy and not copyrighted so no pharmacutical company will fund the next round of testing because there is no profit in it,so he is going to the government to try and fund it

as to the cancer stuff, i really suggest that we all write and call and do what we can to stop the horrible beaurcracy at the NIH and in govt. many doctors cant get the info out to the public. years pass. people die and suffer from diseases. it is not good.

Wildcat is here every day. Apparently it doesn't bother her to have stolen money from people here.

10:45 am

rururocks

no.. most sociopaths could care less I think Molly

10:51 am

MollyL

And while stealing in itself is awful, I find it particularly awful to steal from people who were attempting to help someone in need. It's like robbing the Salvation Army guy ringing the bell.

10:52 am

Jillyjill

Was it before 2009 Molly?

11:04 am

MollyL

Brief synopsis...a member and her family were having problems and needed money. Another member offered to collect money for the member in need, and then never sent the money. Don't remember when it was.

11:05 am

crosshair

we all learned the hard way:((

11:05 am

MollyL

I'm not sure how much you can research someone when it comes to something like this. It was a matter of trust, and that trust was broken in a big way.

11:06 am

crosshair

SOME was sent..just a tease i think,300-500 dollars,but by my best guestimate somewhere in the area of 3-4000 dollars was "diverted"

11:06 am

rururocks

possibly more than that crossy

11:06 am

crosshair

quite possible

11:07 am

I'm usually very wary of online requests. Agree with Crossy that areas like Caring Bridge should be used

i smacked myself for that one

11:13 am

rururocks

i don see it

11:14 am

MollyL

From what I understand, the only money received was that sent through PayPal. That is a secure way to send money that can't be messed with. The personal checks sent to Wildcat (and it was a substantial amount) were never sent.

11:15 am

rururocks

that's correct

11:17 am

welki

hi folks

11:17 am

crosshair

howdy welki

11:17 am

MollyL

I don't see any way on Caring Bridge to send money directly to someone. I see ways to donate to Caring Bridge. What am I missing?

11:18 am

crosshair

sorry molly.i may be wrong in this.i have yet to look at caring bridge carefully

11:18 am

welki

nothing, molly. money donated to caring bridge does not go to the person you're making the donation for - they allocate donations

11:19 am

crosshair

ty for clarification welki:))

11:19 am

MollyL

Okay, I get it now. Looks like Paypal is still the best way to give directly to someone. Or mail it to them directly.

11:19 am

welki

i found that out when mkg's grandson was ill

11:20 am

my banker tells me they are on the verge of being able to offer e-mail money transfers

11:21 am

dianedecoder

I just signed in.... read a bit of the recent chat and must offer my opinion. I think it is a case of one person's word against another. I feel it was a big scam from the very start. ..... just my feeling on it.

11:21 am

welki

theives will always find a way around the system, crossy

11:21 am

welki

a scam on whose part, diane? (and hi!)

11:21 am

crosshair

well,never again diane

11:22 am

rururocks

not really diane.. we sent $ I did.. it never made it to Mr P like the paypal thing It isn't one person's word against another. it's a rip off plain and simple

11:22 am

welki

i sent money, too

11:22 am

MollyL

Diane, I understand your point.

11:22 am

dianedecoder

And if people sent cheques, where they actually deposited ?

11:22 am

rururocks

yes

11:22 am

dianedecoder

hi welki :-)

11:22 am

crosshair

did any who sent cheques get back the cancelled ones? ru?

11:23 am

welki

i made a payment online

11:23 am

rururocks

mine cleared

11:23 am

crosshair

and what bank was it drawn on?

11:23 am

rururocks

it was a cashier's check

11:23 am

crosshair

ah

11:23 am

dianedecoder

I never got into the chat at that time, but certainly did some reading.... too much drama and too many conflicting statements.

11:23 am

crosshair

would love to see the cancellation stamp of her local bank on one

11:24 am

crosshair

or deposit stamp..you know what i mean

11:25 am

dianedecoder

So if it cleared, the money was never received by the person in need ? Therein is the big IF.... one person's word against another. Has Lisa ever denied , commented or defended herself on this ??

11:25 am

crosshair

i would not think mrp would lie about getting or not getting the money

11:25 am

welki

ru - they outdid themselves last night. while making a big deal over some (nice) pinot grigio, one of them said that it reminded them of a pinot NOOOR! *what grape is this?* was another biggie last night

11:26 am

MollyL

That is the problem Diane. When asked repeatedly, Lisa has never given her side of the story.

11:26 am

rururocks

i wrote to her several times

11:26 am

welki

yes, diane. she told me that she "didn't know" why the money never got there, that she would 'look into it" and get back to me - never did, never answered any other emails

11:26 am

rururocks

no response

11:26 am

crosshair

and i see she is still highly active on fb

11:26 am

welki

she said it was a 'bank problem'

11:26 am

MollyL

And the problem with those checks is that they were made out to Lisa. Which makes it, in effect and legally, not stealing for her to have cashed the checks.

11:27 am

rururocks

Pinot gris is NOTHING like Pinot Noir Welki.. your wine friends don't know what they are talking about

11:27 am

crosshair

therin lies the problem molly

11:27 am

rururocks

yeah bank problem.. her account was empty and we loaded it up

11:27 am

MollyL

That is the part of all this I never understood.

11:28 am

welki

i don't know which is which - but i do know that 'noir' is not pronounced "noooooor"

11:28 am

dianedecoder

It's just very sad if that's the case. I guess a lesson learned by trusting and giving people. You people certainly tried then.

11:28 am

it is all pronounced over priced grape juice lol

11:29 am

rururocks

it is actually pronounce no r OR no_WHAR

11:29 am

rururocks

Not NOOOOR

11:29 am

welki

diane, if i hadn't corresponded with her directly - and mind you, when she sees me in the other word game i play, she disappears like a THIEF IN THE NIGHT - I'd be inclined to think like you, that there's more than one side of the story

11:29 am

dianedecoder

I am such a trusting person.... I don't know why the "warning bells" went off that time, but they did

11:30 am

welki

ru, i know noir. i speaka a petit peu

11:30 am

MollyL

Again Diane, I agree. I had the same warning bells about the whole situation. But I have seen internet scams before, on both sides of things.

11:30 am

welki

*spitting out coffee* on BOTH sides?

11:30 am

dianedecoder

and "noir' is a word used in babble, although tres French !!

11:30 am

rururocks

I love it when people try to affect their speech on wine.. but it makes it rough on people who want to learn about wine

11:31 am

oh fer pete's sakes, ru - it would have driven you to drink. a 20 min discussion on why one wine didn't make it over from europe - just gimme a glass of something!

I saw that wine conversation.... wanted to add that I used to love lindemans porphyry pearl wine, but you might have laughed at me.... not a connoisseur's wine for sure !!

11:35 am

rururocks

11:35 am

rururocks

lindeman's I know though

11:36 am

wine is a waste on me,give me something that can be drunk,run a car,sterilize wounds and clean any surface,something about 55% alc by volume;)

11:37 am

welki

kanenas or boutari for red - i think it was the red that didn't make it across the pond. i lost interest and stopped listening when the waiter (not a steward) started talking about shipping compartments and a bad season

11:38 am

welki

i'll drink a glass to be polite, but i'd rather have a cocktail or a beer. (tried black sambuca last night after dinner, deeelish!)

11:38 am

rururocks

the interesting thing is greek wine has really improved in the last decade

11:39 am

crosshair

welki i like the pain zambuca and you float 3 coffee beans on it and set it afire for 15 seconds extinguish and enjoy

11:39 am

11:44 am

rururocks

I lately have been enjoying inexpensive country wines from france and liking their simplicity and lower alcohols and freshness. I think it's more about what goes best with the food you're eating

11:46 am

welki

if you could suggest a nice light and semi-dry white, i'd give it a shot (if i can find it here). husband is a die hard valpolicella guy

11:49 am

crosshair

take a large chilled martini glass and add 3 ounces of gibleys gin OR 3 ounces of ketel 1 vodka- now take a sterling silver cocktail sword and spear 3 pimento olives for gin,or 3 pearl onions if vodka and gently float it into the glass so as to not bruise the alcohol-now lean over the glass and gently whisper "Antonio Benedetto Carpano" and serve

11:49 am

crosshair

hehe

11:49 am

crosshair

you can add lemon or orange zest to keep scurvy away

11:50 am

welki

you should be whispering thanks to mr. carpano :)

11:50 am

rururocks

welki.. not sure what makes it to Canada.. but you can try any good inexpensive Macon Villages from France, or a Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, or a Vermentino from Italy.. no oak, crisp, fresh and goes with a lot of foods

11:50 am

crosshair

lol

11:51 am

rururocks

make sure the vintage is current and as young as possible

11:51 am

welki

i like the way vermentino sounds - if i don't like it, i can change spelling to vermintino!

11:51 am

welki

*putting this into iphone*

11:51 am

rururocks

lol

11:52 am

rururocks

Vermentino is a grape in Italy that has a citrus/lemony taste and hints of fennel.. it is really dry and is great with all kinds of things

11:52 am

welki

ohhh, i think i'd like that!!

11:53 am

rururocks

should be about $12-$14 Max even for the really good ones. they're usually not too pricey

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

good night everybody

12:44 pm

MimiCat

How long have you been here, PAV? I've been here 32 years. I moved here from L.A. and do miss the ocean breezes and sunsets at the beach.

12:45 pm

MimiCat

Night, ruby dear.

12:45 pm

MimiCat

It's just that summers here are like living in a suburb of HELL.

12:45 pm

PAV3

since 1985, Thanksgiving, I've been in the SW USA since 1980 when I moved from MI, where I was born and raised.

12:46 pm

MimiCat

I lived in Milford for a year and Hartland for a year...small world. Lots of Michiganders here.

12:46 pm

PAV3

but it's a dry hell! for themost part, I am indoors 90% so I don't really notice, and I still wear sweaters in the summer to ward off the intense A/C

12:47 pm

MimiCat

Since I'm female, hormonal and ride the bus, summers are dreadful for me.

12:48 pm

PAV3

I di the bus the first ten years and moved 12 times from west to east side and back..yes, the bus rides were strenuous...

12:49 pm

I've lived all over, too. Now I'm at 7th St. and Bell area.

Heading out to errands but will post if I hear further

So much stress lately.

12:52 pm

MimiCat

It is too beautiful today, PAV, to stay in....get out there!!

12:53 pm

PAV3

it's a head(becoming a chest) cold.. i think. The doc said I should be ok in a few days...on top of a mjaor groin pull that I thought was a hernia...

12:53 pm

PAV3

I'll put a sweater on anyways just to keep the illness inside me...

12:54 pm

MimiCat

Sue has been so stoic through Frank's illness....was wondering if and when the stress would hit her.

hego

<--hoping for a panic attack.

12:56 pm

mklein

Jilly, whats the address for her bridge site? i had it but I lost it.

12:56 pm

MimiCat

Just not a heart attack----I did that earlier this year. The medication is worse than the heart attack.

12:56 pm

LeslieAnn

i think a panic attack is pretty likely, given the stress she's been under

12:57 pm

hego

that's so in a lot of cases. Isn't it?

12:59 pm

MimiCat

Those can be terribly wicked, though...also had a couple of them many years ago. Hey, that which doesn't kill us......right?

12:59 pm

PAV3

if she's been overwhelmed, it may just be lack of eating well enough. We'll just pray for an easier road ahead for her ...

12:59 pm

hego

true Mimi

12:59 pm

This morning we discovered someone broke into our house. The took a small amount of money and a few pieces of jewelry.

1:56 pm

LeslieAnn

oh no! how scary.

1:56 pm

BzznBea

No one is hurt and the dogs are none the worse for wear. So it could have been worse.

1:56 pm

hego

so sorry Bea.

1:57 pm

hego

A loss is a loss.

1:57 pm

BzznBea

A couple of months ago, they broke into the garage and took all of my husband's tools.

1:57 pm

hego

sounds serious.

1:57 pm

BzznBea

No idea how they got into the house as there was no noticeable signs of break in.

1:58 pm

BzznBea

Unfortunately, it is a serious problem in the town which we live.

1:58 pm

hego

were the police informed?

1:58 pm

cybernan

LeslieAnn

Alexis Elise

I think of it more as an adjective

2:11 pm

LeslieAnn

2:11 pm

BzznBea

It could be either.

3:44 pm

I love it! I don't know how I ever lived without it before.

3:44 pm

wvteach

the new oven will have the convection - was it hard to convert to?

3:45 pm

combined with the halogen hob,cooking is a doddle!!!

3:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello BabbleRabble! How are you doing? Welcome to chog.

3:45 pm

invictus

It was hard for me to get the temperatures right at first. I find that most of the time, I need to set the temperature lower than what is called for.

3:45 pm

wvteach

how did you learn to converrt cooking times? is there a conversion table?

3:46 pm

o-o

My stove still has three burners that work, so I am no hurry to get another stove right now. It is just a pain to use now.

3:47 pm

wvteach

i also have only three burners that work - but when the oven became a problem that nudged me into getting the new one

3:47 pm

o-o

Hello, Minveryork

3:47 pm

mo

you just get used to turning the temperature down a little.

3:47 pm

I just go by trial and error mostly. And I bought a meat thermometer just to be sure.

3:58 pm

you are my favorite

3:58 pm

welki

i've been spending some time trying to learn how to knit on double pointed needles (4 at a time) - making preemie hats to donate to the nicu

3:59 pm

Scrabbler

Double-pointed needles?

3:59 pm

welki

anyway, i have come to the conclusion that the fine motor skills you need for this have skipped a generation or two and been given to my kids

3:59 pm

welki

yeah, deadly things *lol*

3:59 pm

crosshair

i just had a vision of welki using a knitting needle contraption that looks like the chalk holder used to draw music bars...hehe

4:00 pm

welki

you can make seamless hats with them - better for teeny weeny preemies

4:00 pm

welki

if only, crossy - you have to divide the stitches evenly on all needles and then try to remember your pattern while making sure nothing twists - i thought needlework was supposed to be relaxing!

4:01 pm

crosshair

wow

4:01 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, points on each ends. Yes, I have seen those.

4:01 pm

welki

and i thought it was such a good idea - small projects for my stupidy arthritic hands - maybe it's like getting to carnegie hall - practice, practice, practice!

4:02 pm

Scrabbler

At least the hats are tiny.

4:02 pm

crosshair

i am sure basic knitting is very useful for this cause as with my knees my dr says use them or lose them

4:03 pm

welki

i need things to occupy myself on days off - a friend, one i had lunch with last friday, died the other day from a hypoglycemic reaction - funeral's on monday - so hard to concentrate on anything else

4:04 pm

crosshair

and i know i used no period br and the i is in lower case;))

4:04 pm

welki

you are the comma chameleon, crossy :)

4:04 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no! A diabetic?

4:05 pm

crosshair

and bless all you guys and gals who knit for the babies and cancer patients.i cannot teel you how many times i saw a cancer friend of mine go to the knitting box to get something made with love to warm a newly bald head of a child or themselves

4:05 pm

crosshair

love it welki!

4:05 pm

welki

yes - she'd been struggling with out of control sugars for some time, had had many episodes and became on of those hypoglcemic unawareness folks

4:05 pm

Minveryork

Hello Scrabbler!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

4:06 pm

we talked about her getting a pump for the alarm functions on it - and irony of all ironies - she was a nurse

4:06 pm

Oh, no, Welki--awful.

4:06 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Min

4:06 pm

welki

hi min

4:07 pm

welki

scrabs, i've had a few serious lows and (so far) have been able to feel them coming on - it's so scary to think that the warning signs become non-recognizable or non-existent

4:07 pm

Minveryork

Hello welki!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

4:08 pm

crosshair

i did not know signs could become non-existent.that is scary

4:08 pm

welki

my husband is on the lookout for them, but it's kind of funny when i say something stupid or nonsensical and he asks if my sugars are ok - Yes, they're ok, I'm just a moron :)

4:09 pm

welki

yes, crossy - hypoglycemic unawareness

4:09 pm

crosshair

:(

4:09 pm

Scrabbler

Aren't there glycemia monitors that can be worn at all times?

4:10 pm

crosshair

i love it

4:10 pm

crosshair

i am so sorry about your friend welki

4:10 pm

welki

yes, scrabs - but for her, whose levels fluctuated so frequently and erratically, a pump would have been the next step

4:11 pm

welki

would have kept her level and, at the same time, set off an alarm if she was going low

4:11 pm

welki

i am angry at her physician. he knew she lived by herself and could have easily gotten her set up

4:12 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, totally preventable.

4:12 pm

periwinkle

welki, I am sorry for the loss of your friend and yes I would be angry at the physician too

4:12 pm

Now here is a story.My Au4/5,who lives on the ea4/4 coa4/4 se 4/4 me Babble websi4/4 link. When she first told me about it, I refused to join because I thought it would be too hard to do. She was a ha8/45 and ha 6/21ed me to join 'til I did so. She drove me ne5/10 with her constant pleas for me to join. At first, I could not think of a good enough re6/18 to join Babbleland since I'm not good at word games. I finally did join during the winter se6/18. My husband is driving me insa4/4 with his ra 4/5ing and raving about his need for the computer. I'm going to go watch "The Untouchables",a movie about gangster Eliot Ne4/4. I will be back so 4/4 after that. I hope you have found the re 4/4 of the words in your list or at least the easy on4/4. I'll be back later on tonight to help w/clues

6:16 pm

rururocks

*jm tends to be overly dramatic volley FYI*

6:16 pm

VolleymomDee

6:16 pm

jmcnrick

6:17 pm

MollyL

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

bye volley nice to see you

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

welki is a woman of many parts

6:17 pm

welki

6:17 pm

VolleymomDee

Great to see you, too!!!

6:17 pm

MollyL

*Cough* No one is underdramatic in here.

6:17 pm

rururocks

6:18 pm

VolleymomDee

ttfn

6:18 pm

rururocks

yes.. that would have worked nicely welki

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

i had bacon wrapped scallops last night at a moot court ribbon cutting

6:18 pm

rururocks

moot court?

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

so i take the lack of answer means we haven't heard any more about uu

6:18 pm

MollyL

That is one of my favorite appetizers.

6:18 pm

welki

i had to go to a business dinner last night, too = wish i'd gone with you to yours, i love moot court!

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

it is a pretend court you do in law school to practice arguing a case

6:19 pm

rururocks

oh

6:19 pm

welki

we do moot court all the time for training new officers

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

it was faboulous! i tell you most real courts aren't as nice as this one was

6:19 pm

rururocks

do they pretend billing too?

6:20 pm

MollyL

We called that mock trial when I was in high school.

6:20 pm

jmcnrick

haha no you have to learn that on your own

6:20 pm

welki

attending moot court = billable hours for me

6:20 pm

jmcnrick

well a mock trial is a trial and moot court is appellant

6:21 pm

welki

mock trials are similar - but for us, less formal and not as heavy on argument

6:21 pm

MollyL

Appellant? Is that when you use bug spray in appellate court? : P

6:21 pm

jmcnrick

well with an officer that would make sense

6:22 pm

welki

what was the case, jm?

6:22 pm

crosshair

mmmm....bacon scallops...

6:22 pm

jmcnrick

:-P i refuse to worry about my inability to spell have a note from my heating guy that excuses all stupidity

6:22 pm

jmcnrick

no case this time as it was a ribbon cutting onthe new room

6:22 pm

MollyL

I thought only plumbers had those.

6:23 pm

jmcnrick

my news of carbon monoxide poison is not as dramatic as uu's

6:23 pm

jmcnrick

so i am now in an unheated house until tuesday or so

6:24 pm

crosshair

are you ok jmc? did you place have carbon monoxide detectors?

6:24 pm

MollyL

Is that like "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated?"

6:24 pm

welki

eeek!! hope you're okay - and hope the repairs aren't too expensive

6:24 pm

jmcnrick

no i bought one because my cat was refusing to come up stairs but it told me i either had no carbon monoxide or i was dead

6:24 pm

crosshair

we had a family here who recently died of this all four,2 of them children:(

6:25 pm

jmcnrick

i wish molls. . . it actually explains my headaches and lethargy

6:26 pm

MollyL

Well I'm glad you caught it. I thought CO2 detectors were required by law now.

6:26 pm

jmcnrick

so i had the heating guy come today and from what he says this has been a problem for more than a year. . . but thankfully last year was not that cold

6:26 pm

welki

:( we evacuated my house a couple of years ago because the monitor was going off - son in law and daughter were paramedics and had small grandbaby, too - wasn't taking chances, called fire dept and they checked everything out - faulty monitor

6:26 pm

crosshair

yes,best not to take chances

6:26 pm

jmcnrick

in new buildings molls not an old house like this. . .what saved me is an old leaky house

6:27 pm

jmcnrick

and not having a back on it for part of last winter . . .hahahaha

6:27 pm

welki

yep, the air that comes through the cracks, electric receptacles, foundation and windows - i am thankful for your leaky house

6:27 pm

jmcnrick

me too. . . i feel bad about my roommate. . .glad she is gone she would not have liked being here with no heat

6:28 pm

welki

mmmmmmm ... last batch of bacon is finishing up, almost time to wrap

6:28 pm

crosshair

yes,with the new air tight homes with central heat/air those unit must be tuned up regularly or one mistake and you are like a person trying to survive in a garage with a car running

6:28 pm

crosshair

mmmmmmmmmmm.BACON!

6:29 pm

crosshair

coming over welki..

6:29 pm

rururocks

6:29 pm

6:29 pm

crosshair

6:31 pm

welki

6:31 pm

jmcnrick

the main thing is to have the heating system cleaned

6:31 pm

crosshair

crossys handy tidbit for those in cold climate.to prevent pulling the rubber gasket off the car doors on super cold days,apply a light coating of vasaline to the rubber and they will not stick when you open the doors

6:32 pm

MollyL

That's so funny. It's 40 degrees F here. I haven't run the heat in days and I'm wearing shorts.

6:32 pm

smart move by PBS: if you contribute $120, you can get the entire new series ahead of broadcast

7:46 pm

herinfernallady

I am so out of practice I keep missing the babblets

7:46 pm

Aloyisius

for Downton Abbey

7:47 pm

Aloyisius

ooh, you must babble more, herin!

7:47 pm

MollyL

Well, seeing as how they hold it for months after it's broadcast in the UK, I'd say it's a money maker for them.

7:47 pm

herinfernallady

Or for $0 you can download straight from the internet

7:48 pm

Aloyisius

aha.. will remember that herin

7:49 pm

herinfernallady

I am not advocating illegal downloads but when you are being given the option of $120 that is a tad outrageous

7:49 pm

saanichcat

how do you do that herin?

7:49 pm

What season is the USA up to?

Not to mention $120 is four times the buying price.

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

Aloyisius

well, if it is a cause you want to support, and you get something you enjoy by supporting it..

7:50 pm

MollyL

We have not gotten Season 3 yet. Not until January.

7:50 pm

Aloyisius

I think it is the third season, herin

7:50 pm

saanichcat

eztv?

7:51 pm

herinfernallady

Here you go Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/bo478gn

7:52 pm

herinfernallady

For approx $62 USD Amazon UK is selling it

7:52 pm

saanichcat

that's where I download from?

7:52 pm

herinfernallady

Saanichat that is the website i have been direct to in the past

7:52 pm

saanichcat

thanks herin!

7:52 pm

Aloyisius

ok, but.. you can't support the existence of the station that airs it if you buy it elsewhere

7:53 pm

MollyL

Oh hey, I like Downton and all that but no way I would pay 62 dollars for it.

7:53 pm

Aloyisius

unless of course you send them a separate donation

7:54 pm

saanichcat

my Library has complete sets but there are long waits and you get them out of order. Free though.

7:54 pm

herinfernallady

The station shouldn't charge that sort of money for a 'priveledge' to watch early when you can get seasons 1 to 3 plus the Christmas edition from Amazon UK.

7:54 pm

herinfernallady

$60 isn't much for 11 disks

7:54 pm

MollyL

It's not a charge. It's their membership drive, asking for donations.

7:55 pm

Aloyisius

well, I saw a Johnny Mathis promo and confess I ran to the phone and donated .. got the discs, supported the station and enjoyed the experience

7:55 pm

Aloyisius

sentimental trip into the past .. worked on me!

7:56 pm

herinfernallady

Hey if you are giving me the disks too I wouldn't mind paying the $120 but just plain Pay per view nope

7:58 pm

Aloyisius

oh yes, you get the discs

7:59 pm

MollyL

Yes, but Season 3 is only 3 disks not 11. 11 disks is the Season 1-3 gift set.

7:59 pm

Aloyisius

probably the one for $240 donation

7:59 pm

herinfernallady

O that is a bit sad.

8:01 pm

MollyL

Public television here is largely dependent on viewer donations.

8:02 pm

Aloyisius

herin, do you have Public Television?

8:03 pm

herinfernallady

No

8:03 pm

Aloyisius

Public Radio?

8:03 pm

herinfernallady

I thought that you had to pay the money and no physical discs.

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

Yes we have some sort of public radio

8:04 pm

herinfernallady

http://www.pbsfm.org.au/ This is our radio

8:05 pm

Aloyisius

ok, we don't have cable.. so TV is mostly a terrible wasteland as far as I am concerned.. without Public Television and Public Radio, it would be such a sad sad scene

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

As I said I really didn't know that

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

And it is good to support local tv

8:07 pm

herinfernallady

or radio

8:09 pm

Aloyisius

I didn't know how it is in Australia.. interesting.. Public Radio and TV gives us a choice here, elsewhere maybe it wouldn't be so important, but .. what a difference it makes for us at least

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

We have free to air. I like PBS radio because they have a different programs every day.

8:10 pm

herinfernallady

Like once a fortnight on a Friday in the wee hours of the morning there is a man that plays disco tracks. Yesterday we listened to Jazz tracks

8:11 pm

Aloyisius

I'm just so ticked that we have so much on TV that is so terrible.. so violent, so non-helpful to humans and other living things, lol.. seriously, a waste of air time and I don't think I'm being elitist, just objective

8:12 pm

amelu0218

I totally concur aloy.

8:13 pm

MollyL

The standard for television writing is in the toilet.

8:13 pm

Aloyisius

groan.. and it could be so much more

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

I have one local show Winners and Losers which I love

8:17 pm

herinfernallady

And Supernatural

8:18 pm

herinfernallady

Our tv is largely used for a computer monitor and the odd movie

8:19 pm

Aloyisius

do you have netflix?

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

No

8:23 pm

Aloyisius

well, I'm glad you can download and watch what you wish to

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

Well we tend to also movie share. As in borrow from friends

8:24 pm

PAV3

Hi all, back in...better day today..cold still lingering

8:25 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Pav

8:25 pm

Minveryork

Hello PAV3! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

8:25 pm

Aloyisius

hi PAV

8:26 pm

Aloyisius

Phoenix is COLD? Daughter is in Phoenix

8:27 pm

MollyL

No, I think she means she HAS a cold.

8:27 pm

PAV3

and how is mi' Lady this eve? and the wonderful maidens Aloyisius and Minveryork?

8:27 pm

Aloyisius

oh, lol !

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

Getting there Weekend isn't long enough as per usual

8:28 pm

PAV3

thanks Molly, but last I checked am still a member of the male of the species...I think ...I have CRS.

8:29 pm

Minveryork

Me a maiden? That's a new one. Never been called that b4

8:29 pm

Aloyisius

oh dear, translate PAV.. central respiratory syndrome?

8:29 pm

MollyL

Can't Remember Shit

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

Even though this house had a 3 day weekend it wasn't lpng enough

8:29 pm

PAV3

...and yes, when Phoenix dips below 70 it IS freezing!

8:29 pm

Minveryork

I so WISH I was a maiden! I was I was young and unmarried

8:30 pm

PAV3

Cannot Remember s4

8:30 pm

Minveryork

I so WISH I was a maiden! I wish I was young and unmarried

8:31 pm

MollyL

Min, you've got a lot of living yet to do. I am confident of that.

8:31 pm

PAV3

we are as young as we wish to be...however some people tend to digress prematurely...hence CRS

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

On friday it was my Aunt's funeral. Makes you very grateful for whom yo have in your live

8:32 pm

PAV3

I apologize, my mouse was doing strange(r) things, so I exited and opened a new window...

8:32 pm

Aloyisius

so sorry for your loss, herin.. and you are so right

8:33 pm

Minveryork

I sent an e-mail to husband telling him that I'm not waiting 'til Spring to put house on the market as originally planned

8:33 pm

PAV3

my condolences mi'Lady...hoping her life brightened yours....

8:33 pm

herinfernallady

She was very sick. Only 68 my mums age. I am grateful she passed with family around

8:33 pm

Minveryork

I'll be doing it after X-mas in January. Hope it sells quickly.

8:33 pm

PAV3

oh? Miss Min...moving closer or further?

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Later in the years I didn't have much to do with her. Which is incredibly my bad.

8:34 pm

PAV3

I have been planning a peacefully quiet Christmas holiday and now favorite aunt and uncle might be coming..

8:35 pm

herinfernallady

We are going to other halfs sisters house. I wanted to spend it at home. But I thought there will be a day that I do wish I have family and I have none

8:35 pm

Minveryork

I am sorry to hear that herinfernallady! I am so grateful for the people in my life, but really hard to be grateful for my hubby. I do not mean to sound so ungrateful, but it is true.

8:35 pm

PAV3

I am painting (first time in 11 years) and redoing my small foyer with porcelain tile...

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

No that is a reality Mini. You can't be grateful to be around someone if they make you unhappy. That is resentfulness

8:36 pm

Minveryork

Hopefully, I will be moving FURTHER away from my hubby.

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

Good because you deserve to fly and not have your wings clipped

8:37 pm

PAV3

HRH Princess Precious cannot remember where her rear is and has (deliberately or not) been missing the pee pads...

8:38 pm

Minveryork

So I have been stuck with 7 words left since 3:46. Think it's time I finally finish this grid. Was very difficult to do today.

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

Pav what about puppy nappies?

8:39 pm

PAV3

I am heading in that direction...although she has managed to crawl her way out of any sweaters and capes I've attempted to put on her...

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

Does she have a pee problem?

8:40 pm

MollyL

That is great Min. A new year and a new start on life.

8:40 pm

PAV3

Her peeing problem is (deliberately or not) missing the peed pad. She know full well wehere it is and how to go...she sticks head over to make sure it's clean and nice smelling , then goes....

8:41 pm

herinfernallady

So the vet has ruled out nothing abnormal just the dog being a terror?

8:41 pm

Minveryork

It might be a new year for me, but I will not have a new start on life until I am living on my own.I so cannot wait until that day happens! I hope that the housing market has improved. Are there any babblers who are realtors?

8:42 pm

PAV3

I have laminate wood floors, so I put down a clear vinyl floor mat (like for desk chairs) to help save the floors. It's a fifty/fifty chance she makes that

8:42 pm

PAV3

SHe has been tested for many things, and expensive as they are the tests always come back "normal"

8:42 pm

MollyL

I know DC Seain is a realtor. I think Champ might be too.

8:43 pm

PAV3

Min...hoping your new year is the best for your to come yet!

8:43 pm

Minveryork

Thank you PAV3, me too!

8:44 pm
