7:48 am

Aloyisius

Annie, just asked hubby.. he is not happy because the generic colchicine is no longer available and thinks taking the other every day is too expensive.. so.. he takes it when he feels a flareup and he also follows with Naproxin, 500mg as an antiinflammatory

7:49 am

Anniebrook

Naproxin does help. Thanks for asking hubby for me.

7:50 am

Aloyisius

Allopirinol upset his stomach, but he is going to try it again after he gets an RX at his next appointment

7:50 am

72 Temple Owl

7:50 am

Aloyisius

8:22 am

Hi Mimi :)

8:24 am

MimiCat

Annie, saw the earlier posts---I think there are dietary issues for gout as well. My grandmother suffered from it periodically so I probably will, too. Anyway, might want to check with a nutritionist.

8:24 am

jmcnrick

as usual i am stymied by thewords beginning with vowels

8:24 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, I was thinking I will do that, thanks

8:25 am

jmcnrick

gout is a dietary disease. . . it used to be the disease of the wealthy

8:25 am

Anniebrook

alas, I am not wealthy.

8:25 am

MimiCat

Isn't it related to high fat, citrus and sugar?

8:26 am

lideola

no

8:26 am

Anniebrook

Ithought it was seafood.

8:27 am

lideola

its related to shellfish and foods high in uric acid

8:27 am

jmcnrick

there is probably a heriditary element. . . lets look

8:27 am

MimiCat

Now I remember, lid...thanks for the info.

8:27 am

lideola

i mean purine, avoid beer, grain alcohols, red meat and shell fish

8:28 am

bichon

I thought beef also

8:28 am

bichon

Hi everyone

8:28 am

MimiCat

I applaud your political involvement, jmc. Here in Arizona the politics are too absurd and to get too involved would simply make me bang my head against a wall until unconscious.

8:28 am

MimiCat

Bichon!!

8:28 am

Good Enough

In high school I had a parakeet (budgie) afflicted with gout. Who knew

8:29 am

bichon

Hi Mimi

8:29 am

jmcnrick

ty mimi feel free to sign up on my webpage for the media campaign i am about to begin. . .

8:29 am

MimiCat

Too much to give up, lid---I'll just have to suffer if I get it. I'm not very good at denying myself these days. At this point in life I've decided I'm going to do what I want when I want.

8:34 am

MimiCat

My daughter-in-law is a nutritionist. She makes her own baby food and all that jazz. So did I---with the first one--and washed diapers. By #3, I was content if they were just alive at the end of the day!

8:36 am

bichon

LOL Mimi

8:38 am

MimiCat

I wrote a book years ago (never published) about raising kids. I gave survival tips for new mothers. One of them was "develop a chronic illness so you can get some rest. The only problem is you'll end up in bed reading magazines about women who do everything better than you do which will make you sicker than you wanted to be."

8:38 am

jmcnrick

i was taking the boy to my law office and holding him while i worked. . .i still have clients who always ask about him

8:39 am

we had a play pen for him and a jumping thing in the doorway to my husband (and law partner's) office

Morning all

thanks, bichon!

8:47 am

MimiCat

Don't worry, dear....those are often easy to treat even if the biopsy is positive. My son had one. We simply won't ALLOW any other outcome than a good one!!

8:47 am

MimiCat

Morning, Mr Bob

8:47 am

mael

I went to the doctor last week fully thinking that I was just being paranoid (as usual) but she actually referred me to a dermatologist for a biopsy. My father had some pre cancerous moles removed, so they're being cautious

8:48 am

mael

thanks mimi, I'm just a bit of a wuss :)

8:49 am

MimiCat

Please let us know as soon as you get the results---you'll be in my prayers. I had a squamous cell CA on my face just under my left eye removed and had skin grafted on it---needed a plastic surgeon. No recurrence. You are NOT a wuss....glad you're having it taken care of.

8:49 am

Did you have Mohs surgery Mimi

MimiCat

Hi, carlee!!

8:53 am

MimiCat

Yes, bichon. I was lucky to get an exceptional plastic surgeon since it was on my face. He grafted skin from the side of my nose to the surgical site to avoid rejection of tissue. You can't even tell I had it unless you look really closely.

8:58 am

Judi

Hey, this is Babble. No trolls or moles allowed.

lol, Carlee. Primal screaming is common at the hospital. Probably wouldn't even turn heads.

9:26 am

uusue2

Well, for the next couple of hours I will be in Frank's hospital room. But when we get home I plan some therapeutic dog walking.

9:26 am

we used to go out on the balcony...and just let one rip from the basement of the gut.... felt SOOOO good!

Bye Judi!

9:28 am

hey sue, sorry I was on the phone with office! I'm having a mole biopsy today and I'm a big wuss :)

9:29 am

uusue2

Oh, good luck with that, mael! Things like that are always scary.

9:29 am

carleekat

dog walking is great fun..I miss it. ( 1. too muddy, 2) not been home, 3) when home no time

9:29 am

carleekat

good luck mael... am sure all is good :)

9:29 am

mael

thanks! I'm still hoping he's just a poor misunderstood mole that wouldn't hurt a fly

9:30 am

mael

and dog walking is a great, great exercise. I wish I had a dog for mainly that purpose. I mean, I could try walking the cat but I doubt it would have the same results

9:30 am

uusue2

Probably, mael. I've had several of mine biopsied and they've all been fine.

9:31 am

uusue2

Lol, mael! I thought about walking my obese cat but you are right, it would not be the same experience at all.

9:32 am

mael

thanks carlee, and sue, that's really reassuring :)

9:32 am

I am very spotty, mael :-)

10:00 am

crosshair

indeed mael.it is like any trademark name of old that gets so popular it becomes an identifier of the object itself like "please pass me the Kleenex" instead of "please pass me the tissue paper"

10:01 am

mael

you'd think it would transfer over to a figure of speech at some point, dictionary wise if not legally

10:02 am

crosshair

funny, babble takes je 4/13 but words with friends will not

10:17 am

dcseain

WWF does not take lots of words -- it annoys me like that -- very censored dictionary.

10:17 am

dcseain

it won't take je4.13 either

10:18 am

o-o

Enable is what it is .... fretting changes nothing.

10:19 am

mael

wondering if there's a rhyme or reason to it is at least entertaining, though

10:19 am

dcseain

oh, Enable takes lots of stuff that it arguable should not, but Words with friends edits the dictionary to reduce the number.

10:19 am

dcseain

true that, mael

10:20 am

uusue2

There is a who.e art to dictionary creation, I have read a little about it

10:20 am

Arguably has nothing to do with what is.

10:21 am

We read a book like that in book club a few years back. Can't remember the details (story of my life)

10:23 am

mael

reading the dictionary has always been one of my favorite things to do

10:24 am

Good Enough

The Professor and the Madman about the creation of the Oxford dictionary. Quite good.

hello

12:09 pm

MollyL

Ruby if you watch the sale prices, you can get a nice laptop for around 400 dollars US. And some of them come with a 17 inch screen so it would be much like using a personal computer, only portable.

12:10 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, MLFAN17

12:10 pm

MollyL

My son and I both have Toshibas and I like them.

12:11 pm

12:11 pm

MollyL

They do weigh more than the tiny screen ones. But personally, I like a full size screen and keyboard and I have no need to tote mine around a lot.

6:50 pm

Glantarell

Just had a read of your profile Sue - glad to hear all is well. I wish I'd had a partner like you to support me through my cancer in 2005.

6:51 pm

Glantarell

If DH (dastardly husband) had had half your backbone and loving attitude I;d still be married :-)

6:52 pm

6:53 pm

dan2bit

huzzah uu!

6:53 pm

Glantarell

It wasn't much fun. in one way it would have been easier alone, having somebody around who professed to love me but who didn;t support me in any way through cancer treatments was very hard. Resentful doesn't quite cover it.

6:54 pm

uusue2

ugh, that sounds resoundingly awful.

6:54 pm

Glantarell

Anyays, that is all done and dusted and I am well, which is what matters, and now off to sleep if the blooming gouty foot will let me!

8:55 pm

Sue has a bunch on hers and I couldn't figure out Flickr. When I contacted them they answered a completely different question than the one I was asking....duh.

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

i got messed up with flickr and never could straighten it out again. . .

9:02 pm

Maybe I'll contact Dr. God and ask.

9:04 pm

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

what is the stress?

9:08 pm

MimiCat

Trust me, you don't even want to know. Suffice to say I have to go downtown and it requires 2 buses. I'm tough, though, and certainly will manage!

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

Well sorry if i was being nosy but I hope it all goes well for you.

9:14 pm

Oh, no, dear, not at all....it's just complicated and boring. I appreciate the concern very much. Not looking forward to 3 hours of bus travel, though.

I have recovered from some seasonal maladies.

9:42 pm

I'm glad. Sometimes it seems that life just whomps us a little and then we struggle back. LOL

10:23 pm

Lizlin

Do you want clues or stats mkg?

10:23 pm

Lizlin

Glad to hear it gapeach

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Deaf and totally pointless yelling at her. I point my finger and she comes up and goes 'finger what do you smell like" Damn cat clawed my new couch

10:23 pm

mkg

10:24 pm

mkg

nm just got both of them. sorry

10:24 pm

gapeach

Thanks for all the clues.

10:24 pm

Lizlin

Naughty cat!!!!

10:25 pm

Lizlin

What about the 7s mkg?

10:25 pm

herinfernallady

They have already destroyed the $50 chair and we have a really cheap carpet rug square thing they can have at and a scratching post but no let's claw the new ikea 3 seater.

10:26 pm

Lizlin

Kitty has a mind of its own :(

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

And the water pistol is pointless too. She likes water

10:26 pm

Lizlin

Like the cockatoos here - destroy bbq covers, table setting covers - and they're not pets! I guess we encourage them though by feeding them!

10:27 pm

Lizlin

Is there such a thing as cat school?

10:29 pm

Lizlin

Got to go soon - any last clues?

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

Liz have4 you tried those reflective things for the Cockies?

10:33 pm

Lizlin

Not sure what reflective things you mean? But as I said, we do encourage them to come because we feed them!

10:33 pm

sallyds

Can someone clue the CO 8 and the ST 5?

10:34 pm

Lizlin

co 8 - an apple with no pips

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

Like the mirrors you get at Asian grocery stores

10:34 pm

Jillyjill

which st 5?

10:34 pm

Lizlin

there are several st 5s but I guess the one you need is most likely an anagram of the one above it!

10:35 pm

o-o

st + fl*** your teeth

10:35 pm

Lizlin

herin - what do the mirrors do?

10:35 pm

Lizlin

Please don't just say reflect!

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

They scare them off

10:35 pm

Jillyjill

Or st5=st+an ***phant sitting on chest

10:36 pm

o-o

st - plural of an Irish dish

10:36 pm

Lizlin

Good idea but we'll still feed them so scaring them off probably isn't what we want to do - they're not destroying any part of the house, so it's not quite like your naughty cats!

10:37 pm

o-o

st 4 - add a greek letter: **a; plural

10:39 pm

Lizlin

Good clues BR and Jilly

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

Feeding them away from the house maybe?

10:40 pm

Jillyjill

I do think between all of us we covered all the st5's quite nicely....

10:40 pm

Lizlin

They go everywhere - like your cats! We've got a feeder! We've got one cheeky cockie who comes and taps on our bedroom window in the morning!!!

10:42 pm

herinfernallady

Cockies are cute?

10:42 pm

Lizlin

Makes no difference whether the curtains are open or closed, it comes, taps and is plainly saying "Get up and feed me you lazy b*ggers!"

10:42 pm

Lizlin

They

10:42 pm

Lizlin

They're really exotic (along with all the other birds) if you come from England!

10:43 pm

Jillyjill

Having my own kitty issues, one of my two, despite a pristinely clean litter box, has decided bathroom rugs are great to pee on.....

10:43 pm

Lizlin

:(

10:44 pm

Jillyjill

And we don't know which one!

10:44 pm

Lizlin

Sneaky!

10:44 pm

o-o

close the bathroom door

10:44 pm

Jillyjill

Plus we are about to remove the rest of the carpeting in the house and replacing with wood floors...will have a few araa rugs then...

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

Jilly that would be the smell of the rugs. That the bathroom is 'their domain' and they are are saying to you 'mine get your own'. My cat has done this a couple of times on their door matts that they under their boxes. Also they do it as an UP YOURS for leaving me

10:45 pm

Lizlin

At least our cockies don't come in the house, though they'd like to!

10:45 pm

Jillyjill

We did that with two of the bathrooms, unfortunatly, the litter box is in the last bathroom

10:46 pm

Lizlin

have you got a laundry?

10:46 pm

o-o

I would feed the cockies heavy doses of pepper

10:46 pm

Lizlin

so cruel!!!!!!!!

10:46 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, and really not a big thing to throw a little rug into wash...but it's escalating.

10:46 pm

herinfernallady

I bought 2 ikea $2 door mats for under their boxes to stop tracking through the house. Pandora when I was working would pee on the mat just as a screw you for leaving.

10:47 pm

o-o

or maybe exlax

10:47 pm

Lizlin

Not good for our patio area!

10:47 pm

Jillyjill

We are taking them both to vet just to make sure there aren't some bladder issues

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

Are they girl cats Jill?

10:48 pm

Lizlin

Probably aren't Jilly - I think they're just expressing themselves! In the wrong place!

10:48 pm

Jillyjill

Both are gentlemen-so they also leave the seat up...lol

10:48 pm

Lizlin

They know they're in charge - like herin says

10:49 pm

Lizlin

lol

10:49 pm

herinfernallady

Rugs can smell funny to them. So they go and mark them and make them smell good. But only to them.

10:49 pm

Jillyjill

These two have been interestingly problematic...more destructive than any before them...running around and breaking things too...

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

Jill cats hate change

10:50 pm

Jillyjill

Of coursel, the little darlings are looking so prim and proper now sleeping on the couch next to me

10:50 pm

Jillyjill

Trust me...no changes here..remember, I'm old too...

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

Didn't you say new floors?

10:52 pm

Jillyjill

Not yet just planning on them...

10:53 pm

Jillyjill

The one I suspect is now loving up on me...

10:53 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening / afternoon. bbl :)

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

10:53 pm

What is so enigmatic to me is how much time pet owners spend worrying about their pets rather than the homeless, the rising rate of suicide, people

10:54 pm

o-o

without jobs ... etc

10:55 pm

herinfernallady

Babble that isn't me. But my pets are my babies in fur form so I do worry about them as it is something in my world I can control at some level

10:58 pm

saphyre

Pet owners are less likely to be depressed and would not caring for our pets give people jobs or feed people?

10:59 pm

o-o

Sounds like trickle down economics

11:01 pm

herinfernallady

I used to work with homeless people

11:01 pm

saphyre

I still do but I can do that AND love my pets

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

And when I give my spare money to genuinely homeless people I ask them if they have heard of various free food places too

11:06 pm

saphyre

It is the people who don't care about animals that usually don't care about people either

11:08 pm

o-o

You have a lot of gall to make that statement, saphyre... especially since there are recent studies that belie the claim pet owners are happier.

11:09 pm

saphyre

You have a lot of gaul condemming petowners for not caring about humanity

11:09 pm

o-o

It is the people that are cruel to animals are the ones that you have to watch don't turn into people killers

11:12 pm

I did not sat what you claim about pet owners not caring about humanity

Where is your proof, saphyre and herein?

BabbleRabble

What is so enigmatic to me is how much time pet owners spend worrying about their pets rather than the homeless, the rising rate of suicide, people

11:14 pm

o-o

That does not say I think pet owners are not concerned about the homeless, jobless, etc

11:15 pm

saphyre

Then maybe you should rephrase what you wrote

11:15 pm

o-o

Maybe you should learn to read

11:16 pm

Seems like herin and i both read it the same way but you seem to believe you are right so have a nice evening and sleep well
