the other night it was such a dry heat, there was hardly any water in the reservoir of the aircon.
1:53 am
dcseain

1:54 am

1:56 am
VolleymomDee
dc, I missed what happened to you... do you mind sharing?
1:57 am
dcseain
i had a teeth-chattering fever, and tore a left calf muscle thrashing in my sleep kicking off the blankets and quilt. re-injury from last August.
1:58 am
VolleymomDee
so are you in a walking cast?
1:58 am
dcseain
now i'm bopping around to PT and specialists to make sure it heals well. no, that's not a cast injury.
1:59 am
dcseain
was walking with a cane, but have switched to one of my hiking sticks since i'm getting better.
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
Is surgery in your future, or does this just take a long time to heal?
1:59 am
dcseain
long time to heal.
1:59 am
rururocks
sounds dangerous for your bedmate DC
1:59 am
dcseain
i lack that, so not an issue, and the cat that night slept elsewhere.
2:00 am
dcseain
i should be back to normal March or early April.
2:00 am
VolleymomDee
so very sorry, but glad you are at least seeing progress now
2:00 am
rururocks
It wasn't the Kim Kardashian Flu was it?
2:00 am
dcseain
18 Dec was injury. Every few days/weeks i see a big leap forward.
2:01 am
dcseain
it was a flu, but i doubt related to those imbeciles.
2:01 am
dcseain
Thursday, PT day, i awoke feeling as near to normal as i had in weeks.
2:01 am
rururocks
It's the only one I could think of that would make someone thrash around in bed
2:01 am
grannyrose
dcs, himself says normal is a setting on a washing machine....are you a talking washing machine? if so...i have something i want you to say to my washing machine...because we ain't communicating too well.
2:02 am
dcseain
I want to get back to dancing. I can't even do a simple waltz with this injury.
2:02 am
dcseain
i normally walk 12-30 miles/wk. I had 3 weeks i could barely walk at all.
2:02 am
rururocks
ouch.. sorry DC
2:03 am
dcseain
Trying very hard this time to have it heal right.
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
so very sorry, dc, had / has to be frustrating
2:03 am
dcseain
This time hurt a lot more than last time, which is why i went for medical treatment this time, kindly my motheris paying for that.
2:04 am
dcseain
we all have our things that frustrate us medically, and mine happily i will recover from with full functionallity, Many are not so lucky.
2:05 am

VolleymomDee
se 6 and 7/48 odd spelling to me of someone who takes another captive LOL
3:03 am
VolleymomDee
uses high point letter
3:03 am
VolleymomDee
se 7/36 geographic term (adjective) related to earthquakes
3:04 am
VolleymomDee
se 6/18 and se 7/28 pl small barracuda /s

VolleymomDee
se 7 and 8 no dict def, but starts with verb for mailed + first person pronoun + the kid's character El.. (and plural)
3:06 am
flosey
not familiar with the barracuda
3:08 am
VolleymomDee
barracuda abbreviation for southeast + abbreviation for north + what fish are caught in (Biblical catch with huge ones of these)
3:10 am
flosey
no idea - thought they just referred to them as fishes
3:10 am
VolleymomDee

3:14 am
flosey

4:21 am

hey ruby *hug* Nice to be here during your stolen half hour
4:22 am
rubyfoo
and I'm glad you're here. How are you doing in all this cold? And Tim, any improvements?
4:23 am
sprite
am doing ok, am dressing in layers and only cold when I am very tired.
Tim is doing ok. Some flare-ups, but manageable. Last fight, which was big, with his sister... I could get him to 'feel' and not just 'think' and that was a big improvement.
4:24 am
sprite
how are you doing over there?
4:24 am
rubyfoo
me, to, with the layers. Like a little kid with his snowsuit and his arms sticking straight out
4:24 am

Hi all, shhhhhh, I think all the Amerricns went to bed, just us Europeans now.
4:27 am

hi Marmar, lol

Hi Sweeties!
4:27 am
swmbo
Well, maybe a lone Canadian?
4:27 am
Marmar
I am close to my normal 50% and have loads of work to do but just have to say howdy today.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
hi marmar, are you in Germany? I think we are all three in the same time zone. How rare!
4:28 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, are you up early or late, swimbo?
4:28 am
sprite
hiya swmbo!
4:28 am
Marmar
Ha! Hi swmbo! You're up late.
4:28 am
Marmar
Yes Ruby, just north of Frankfurt.
4:28 am
swmbo
Yes, working a night shift, which will end in half an hour. So just putting in time until then. :)
4:29 am
rubyfoo
I've spent a little time in Dusseldorf but otherwise just a little bit in Marburg
4:29 am
sprite
hehehe playing hooky hmmmm?
4:29 am
swmbo
What time is it in your mutual time zone?
4:29 am
Marmar
Oh that is practical swmbo. Dcseain used to do that every night but that was ages ago.
4:29 am
sprite
it is 11.30 am here
4:30 am
Marmar
Ohhh, Marburg is "schöne"!
4:30 am
swmbo
Not really playing hooky. I work in a nursing home. All the residents have been turned, changed etc. so I just have to wait for my replacements at 7 AM
4:31 am
rubyfoo
yes it is! I was there in '67 0r 8
4:31 am
rubyfoo
when I was still working, I used to play SimCity when things got slow, so don't feel bad, swimbo
4:31 am
Marmar
I'm actually 30 minutes away from there and we go there at any excuse. Great altstadt! Very little damag in the war therefore the integrity of the old buildings is still there.
4:31 am
sprite
ah ok, so really just filling the time until you can go home :) Did you have a quiet watch?
4:32 am
Marmar
I don't know if I could do night shift work for a long stretch, but it must have some nice advantages.
4:32 am
rubyfoo
and my son, who was 4 at the time, found a fragment of a decorative tile in the churchyard and he still treasures it, all these years later
4:32 am
swmbo
Very quiet. I am the charge nurse in a 68 bed home. All the residents are in stable health and so things are quiet (for now)
4:33 am
sprite
ah nice. Both for the residents and for you.
4:33 am
swmbo
Actually I am retired and only work very occasionally when they are short
4:34 am
Marmar
Ah ruby, that is so special. A friend of mine from England lives in York England and her son started collecting tile and porcelain fragments when he was little, he has a huge and beautiful collection now.
4:34 am
sprite
I see. They are lucky to have you, then.
4:36 am
rubyfoo
I collect blue and chite pottery and chines and, over the years, I've saved every broken piece (many) and this summer, God willing, I'll make a Gaudi-esque mosaic bench out of the pieces
4:36 am
Marmar
That's nice swmbo, I love your hobbies on your profile!
4:36 am
rubyfoo
now if I could just type lol
4:37 am
rubyfoo
have to go, see you kids later. That was a quick 100~
4:37 am
Marmar
I have saved all my own broken porcelain dishes and hope to do a similar project soon.
4:37 am
sprite
bye ruby, that was a short half hour
4:38 am
swmbo
LOL I forgot about my hobbies. They are from Alice in Wonderland. I remember when I read it as a child being so delighted with the puns, my first experience of them. I love puns.
4:38 am
sprite
<--- loves puns too
4:39 am
swmbo
Well 20 minutes to blast off, must go count the narcotics. Nice chatting :)
4:39 am

zoozzoom
My mate marmite..lol
6:26 am
Anniebrook

6:26 am
zoozzoom
it is a yeast extract, Annie.

Lizlin
My hubby thinks it's like axle grease!
6:26 am
sprite
never could develop a taste for it
6:27 am
zoozzoom
you either love it or hate it.
6:27 am
Anniebrook
yeast extract does not sound inviting
6:27 am

As zooz says - and that's their advertising slogan. But it is yummy!

Dylan had a headache yesterday, so I took him to the doctor. We concluded he has anxiety, which we will be working on. I then decided to have him get the flu mist vaccine. He woke up in teh middle of the night with aches, nausea and a fever. Poor kid. I feel so guilty.
7:27 am
Anniebrook
car. please dont feel guilty. You did the right thing.
7:27 am
rolin
please don't feel guilty car...lots of ppl of all ages have a reaction...think how much worse he would feel if he got the flu full blown..its been horrible here...knocking adults out for a week
7:27 am
smores
:( poor guy...but don't feel guilty
7:27 am
Anniebrook
How old is Dylan? I have a grandson named Dylan.
7:27 am

My parents get the flu jab every year..and sometimes they get cold like symptoms for a few days then it clears..not sure about children though.
7:28 am

When i had mine a while back i reacted really badly and took over six weeks to recover. Treat with paracelamol and lots of fluids. Least that is what they told me.
7:28 am
car.eeyore
It has happened to me before, but not this time. I got the flu shot and had absolutely no reaction. I just wanted to keep him safe from this horrible flu :(
7:29 am
Anniebrook
car. you did the right thing
7:29 am
rolin
I have to have the jab...not a problem...wouldn't go into winter without it
7:29 am
zoozzoom
My sister had the flu this year..and like, Rolin said it knocks the stuffing out of you..i would much rather have the flu jab.
7:32 am
smores
I would definately check with his doctor, but don't feel guilty, I'm sure it will pass soon and is much better than getting the flu
7:32 am

The problem is...I am supposed to be at my other son's Klondike Derby today.
7:32 am

why can't you pluralize the st 5/10 [something that keeps arteries open]?
9:00 am
Scrabbler
I think Enable sees it as a verb, not noun
9:01 am
BzznBea
What are there, 300 S words???
9:01 am
bichon
but even if it's a verb, you should be able to pluralize it. Oh, whatever
9:01 am

I agree bichon, my husband has 3!
9:02 am

let's petition Enable

Ruru, my attention was drawn to your 'conspiracy theory', and I'm 100% in agreement with you. With hindsight, it's crystal clear!!! Smacking self on forehead, growling 'Gah'.....

1:11 pm

Sorry guys, for having a non inclusive conversation. Frankly, it's just too distasteful to elaborate. Onwards and upwards!!! :-)
1:11 pm
MimiCat
Ruru, think "in place of..."
1:12 pm
rururocks
thank you mimi
1:12 pm
Soodle

OMG, Soodle---you have no idea what you've said! I named one of my cats Pywakit after that!!
1:18 pm
MimiCat
Do you have one, smores?
1:19 pm
smores
Yes it's great
1:19 pm
MimiCat
I also just found out you can get DirecTV through computer via USB port so no longer have to have line-of-sight for the dish.

1:20 pm
smores
really? interesting, might check into that soon...got rid of cable a couple months ago
1:20 pm
MimiCat
Do you use Netflix with it? Seems like the only way to really get the most out of it. I cancelled cable a long time ago and don't miss it. But may be getting DirecTV again since they're a much better deal and have much better customer service.
1:21 pm
MimiCat
The package I want from DTV is 225 channels with Encore for about $45 a month.
1:21 pm
Soodle
Mimi, has Netflix got Downton Abbey yet? An absolute must-see! I got the box set of the first 2 series last Christmas, and spent an entire weekend wallowing in it!
1:23 pm
MimiCat
Yep, Soodle---watched it. Hoping the new ones will come soon. There are so many British detective shows I love and can get that way also.
1:24 pm
MimiCat
Smores, check out a series called "Life" and another called "Hack"----EXCEPTIONALLY WONDERFUL.
1:25 pm
smores
sorry, cat wanted out, I'm back
1:26 pm
smores
I will check it out Mimi
1:26 pm
Soodle
Also got box-set of Homeland. Awesome.
1:26 pm
MimiCat
I still miss not being able to see network shows the same night they're shown....hate waiting until Tues. to watch The Bachelor---yep, totally hooked on that show. I keep a sheet of the ones I like right away, the so-so and the ones I say NO to right away. Sad...but true. The thing is, I'm nearly always RIGHT.
1:27 pm
MimiCat
I love Homeland, Soodle! Have only seen the first season, though, from a free Amazon Prime trial. Hoping Netflix will get that one soon.
1:27 pm

1:31 pm

Anybody read Gillian Flynn's book Gone Girl?
1:32 pm
MimiCat
When in a certain mood, I watch Highlander episodes on Roku and wistfully dream of someday going to Scotland....oh, also Ireland, Soodle!
1:32 pm
MimiCat
No, Soodle---really good?
1:32 pm
rururocks
good time for a break.. s's to go
1:32 pm
smores
used to love Highlander...might have to rewatch
1:33 pm
Soodle
Oh Mimi, I dream of a Babble meet up here......
1:33 pm
MimiCat
I've read ALL 18 of the the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series and looking forward to getting #19. It's the most fun you can have reading.
1:33 pm
smores
lol...enjoy your break ruru....they'll be waiting :)
1:33 pm
MollyL
Hmm, I have an Amazon prime membership and Homeland isn't free.
1:34 pm
MimiCat
Smores, I used to tell my ex that if Adrian Paul ever showed up at the door I was GONE. <...memories of hormones...
1:34 pm
Soodle
Gone Girl is a good read. Very twisty-turny, but good.
1:34 pm
smores
lol...Mimi
1:34 pm
Soodle
((((Molly)))).
1:35 pm
MimiCat
It was for awhile, Molly. I did the trial version for a month but didn't like them nickel-and-diming me on paying for things.
1:36 pm
MimiCat
They want you to pay $1.99 to $3.99 for OLD movies....stupid.
1:36 pm
MollyL
I've had my membership for over a year and have been watching for Homeland to switch to free for Prime users. So far, it hasn't.
1:36 pm
smores
Amazon offered several free "season one" on trial to get you hooked
1:36 pm
MimiCat
Smores, I also have the DVD's in the mail from Netflix and have all seasons of Northern Exposure ordered....LOTS of discs!
1:36 pm
rururocks
*waves to Molly.. ms blank*
1:37 pm
MimiCat
That's right, smores---that's how I saw it. Good thing I'm patient because I'm not rich!
1:38 pm
smores
lol...Northern Exposure, another show I had forgotten about :)
1:39 pm
smores
yes, they got a lot of complaints because people thought the shows that were free with the trial would be free afterwards as well.
1:39 pm
MimiCat
Have you checked out all the concerts available, too, smores? Lots are streamed----Earth, Wind and Fire, The Doors, Janis Joplin, The Moody Blues...it goes on and on. The ones not streamed I have in my DVD queue...e.g., The Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot......hey, who misses cable?!!!
1:40 pm
smores
I haven't really checked out many
1:40 pm
MimiCat
That's what is great about Netflix....you pay the monthly and get everything they have...no hidden charges. Pay attention, Amazon!
1:41 pm
Soodle
Arrgh. Janis Ian. Jesse. T'would bring tears from a stone. One of my all time faves....
1:42 pm
smores
Still gonna get Amazon Prime soon, have a lot that are free and the free shipping is nice
1:43 pm
MimiCat
Yep--I'm hoping to do so as well once the money is there....they do have some things not available elsewhere. Just think they could get rid of a $1.99 or $2.99 charge for an old movie....that's petty.
1:44 pm
MimiCat
What are we, smores, twin daughters of different mothers?!!!
1:45 pm
MimiCat
Of course, don't know how I could be your twin OLDER sister....but the sentiment is the same!
1:45 pm
smores
well, I hate to go but I have to pick up smoresette, she stayed at a friends last night
1:45 pm
MimiCat
OK---put off the housework long enough....aargh! Hate housework more than having surgery....but, like surgery, necessary.
1:46 pm

We're even leaving at the same time----THIS IS GETTING SCARY!!! Hug to Smoresette. {{smores}}

It must be a sizeable sum on the card if you think you can afford food at an airport. :^)

7:42 pm

Deeha
well I m over half way and it is now nearly 2 am here - I'm only here because it is too cold to go into the kitchen and do a hot water bottle!!!
7:44 pm
welki
sounds like a spanish coin
7:45 pm
jmcnrick
se7 rhymes with Michaelangelo's famous chapel
7:46 pm
jmcnrick
ah that was the 7/28 my bad
7:46 pm
Deeha
Oh Blow - thats it I am too tired!! Good night folks good luck
7:46 pm
welki
*ding ding ding*
7:46 pm

7:47 pm
welki

7:48 pm
jmcnrick
i think i need to crash. . .drove to asheville (9 hours because of the snow plows) yesterday and back (9 hours because a wreck required a helicoptor evacuation) today
7:48 pm
jmcnrick
bye deeha . . .stay warm
7:49 pm
welki
you must be pooped
7:49 pm
jmcnrick
haha the only reason I knew I wasn't in vermont is that there were way too many cars abandoned in snow banks
7:49 pm
jmcnrick
the snow really hit TN and southern VA where they have no clue. . . .
7:50 pm
welki
i used to pull cars out of ditches in vt when i was young - had an old jeep wagoneer
7:50 pm
jmcnrick
i probably saw close to 100 abandoned cars or tracks onthe median
7:50 pm
welki
but the kids must have loved the snow
7:50 pm
wht
Driving is snow is hard enough when the other drivers know what they are doing.
7:50 pm
jmcnrick
when my son had a jeep i bought him some rope and he would pull out ambulances for free but charge everyone else
7:51 pm
jmcnrick
yes welki there were several snow men in the median so I have to believe people got out of their cars while waiting for the whiteout to stop
7:51 pm
welki
here, in calgary, the roads are no where near as well kept as they are back east in ny and nj - and folks simply don't know how to drive to the conditions
7:51 pm
wht
Actually, driving in snow isn't so hard. It is stopping in snow that takes getting used to.
7:51 pm
jmcnrick
that is why i rarely drive in the snow wht. . . i know i am not that good
7:52 pm
welki
you have a good car for bad weather, jmc (albeit we sure made a bad choice when we bought them)
7:52 pm
jmcnrick
i can do it if i have to but if i do not have to I STAY PUT!
7:52 pm
welki
who knew saab would go belly up. still ticks me off.
7:52 pm
jmcnrick
btw it was interesting watching the helicopter land on the freeway and then later an ambulance drove under its spinning propellar. . .
7:53 pm
jmcnrick
i have a good car that is literally irreplaceable :-((((
7:53 pm
welki
egads - interesting, but scary!
7:53 pm

7:57 pm
jmcnrick

8:01 pm

8:01 pm
lynxxx

8:02 pm
jmcnrick

8:02 pm
welki
depends on when the baby comes - my daughter's already been to the hospital twice for early labor - she's not due until the end of february. the first one was a preemie, but we're hoping she can hold on at least another week or two
8:03 pm
welki
ok - then i'll bring it with me and either hand it over to you (preferable) or mail it to you from jersey (which will make me sad, because it means i didn't see you)
8:03 pm
jmcnrick
i will come to jersey if need be. . .the saab still runs fine
8:03 pm
lynxxx

Hi all. Selkirk, sorry I was rudely disconnected from Internet last nite
8:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi doren.
8:34 pm
Dorens
Haha..Selkirk? iPads are weird, Welki!
8:34 pm
Lizlin
Well, you could have an Aussie heatwave rather than snow!!!! Though it's not too bad here!
8:34 pm
welki
i turned my autocorrect off
8:35 pm
Dorens
Hi owl. My sons Internet doesn't like my computer...think I can do this whole grid on iPad? I have my doubts
8:35 pm
welki
no worries, dorens
8:35 pm
Lizlin
Haven't turned my iPad autocorrect off - yes, it gets names wrong at times but it also sometimes suggests words I've missed!
8:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
doren, i have been looking at ipads and would love to get advice from someone who has one.
8:36 pm
Minveryork
Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing today
8:36 pm
Dorens
Owl..you coming in next month when welkis in nj?

72 Temple Owl
why couldn't you do it on your ipad?
8:36 pm
Jillyjill
I know I hate doing grids on my smart phone...
8:36 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
8:36 pm
Lizlin
I love my iPad - especially when i travel. I have internet access and books! Before iPad I'd carry at least 4 large books,w hen I travelled!

72 Temple Owl
do i need to have 32G
8:37 pm
Dorens
I have one owl, but don't utilize it enough to give advice. 1. It takes much more time . 2. Don't know how yo
8:37 pm
Lizlin
I don't have 3G or 4G - If I want internet, when I travel, we sort it then. We have wifi and ethernet in the house.
8:37 pm
melonheadjujube
If I had an accent, I would be surprised by its instantaneousness... heh heh
8:38 pm
Dorens
How to get lickety on? Screen just not that big. I still don't even know how I would enter words int o bulk anyway.
8:38 pm
Lizlin
I also use it first thing in the morning, if I wake up early to catch up with friends in the UK, without getting out of bed!
8:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
isn't the os just like your mac?
8:39 pm
Dorens
I don't have wifi..would be such a silly expense, I think
8:39 pm
Lizlin
Haven't discovered how to use bulk add in lickety on iPad - it's to do with the copy and paste, which is more fiddly on iPad.
8:39 pm
Dorens
Yes, is is similar, but no keyboard.. Need to learn the tricks soeday
8:39 pm
Lizlin
We use our computers a lot and it's not too expensive to have wifi here.
8:39 pm
Dorens
Exactly lizlin. I do need to ask someone someday.
8:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
i saw them advertised on qvc today and they had a keyboard. i am confused.
8:40 pm
welki
it's easy to copt into lickety- just open another window. ( on trips, i bring a bluetooth keyboard)
8:40 pm
Lizlin
Key pad comes up easily - just touch the add word space
8:40 pm
Dorens
No, I have wifi for my computer, but 4g on the iPad would be expensive...that's what I meant
8:41 pm
Lizlin
We don't usually have a keyboard when we travel and I use my main computer for bulk add in lickety
8:41 pm
Lizlin
Yes - that's why I don't have it on my iPad
8:41 pm
Dorens
Can you have lickety open same time as grid?
8:41 pm
welki
i used to have an internet provider for the ipad. like dorens said, it's expensive. now it's either wifi or i tether it to myniphone
8:42 pm
Dorens
My computer won't work here this weekend..so annoying
8:42 pm
Lizlin
Yes - just have to swap between tabs
8:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
i went to the apple store before christmas and they wre mobbed.
8:42 pm
welki
not side by side, but you can toggle between them
8:42 pm
Lizlin
Apple store here is always busy - usually loads of kids, even during term time.
8:43 pm
Dorens
Much too complicated for me... So, didn't finish tomorrow and I guess I won't tonight either
8:43 pm
Lizlin
Still have to find out how to selectively copy on iPad to use lickety effectively on it
8:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
when qvc has them the prices are not any less but they include accessories
8:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
doren can you do a paper list?
8:44 pm
Lizlin
That was how I did it until someone (Lynxxx perhaps) explained about bulk add!
8:44 pm
Dorens
Igot the ip ad 2 when they came out with the new one..took off 100$
8:44 pm
welki
liz, press down on top of list until you see the blue dots come up with the word copy - manipulate the bi
8:45 pm
Lizlin
Mine's also an ipad 2

Oh lord owl, not with a grid this size ...too much work at this point

8:45 pm
welki

stidmama
LOL that is...
8:48 pm
Dorens
Hey stud..and Welki, I see how yo copy, but not to paste
8:48 pm
Lizlin
Just hold finger on bulk add and the word paste appears
8:48 pm
Lizlin
Or perhaps it was in the space for bulk add
8:48 pm
stidmama
doren, do a "long tap" (put your finger down where you want to paste) until the "paste" selection pops up
8:48 pm
stidmama
or what liz said. ;-)
8:49 pm
Jillyjill
I would think that having a long assignment would be nicer than a few days.
8:49 pm
Lizlin
Or what stid said!!! Hi stid :)
8:49 pm
welki
open up lickety's, scroll tomthe bulk add box. press your finger until the word paste appears. voila
