5:49 am

grannyrose

thanx again, zooz. resting is a good word. going back to seated duties only for the next week.

5:49 am

grannyrose

too early to tell if tendons have been damaged.

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Well i had to put a gurund(sp)? on the end otherwise i would of been in PB lol

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Poor thing, Rose..sitting duties i hope means just that..i know you..probably be up & about after a while.

5:52 am

Glantarell

morning all

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Glantarell.

5:53 am

Glantarell

i am on sitting duties too, lots of pain in laft foot - arthritis or gout - not sure whether it's better to try to keep painfully moving or keep it painfully still and raised

5:53 am

grannyrose

emergency room doctor is being very cautious. yes, i know, zooz. will try to be seated as much as possible. have about 20 theatre registers to audit...should keep me busy for a while. lol

5:53 am

Glantarell

hope you feel better soon Rose and hope it's not a long term recovery

5:54 am

grannyrose

morning, glant. you poor darling.

5:54 am

5:54 am

BBL getting dinner

5:54 am

grannyrose

enjoy, liz. see you tomorrow, hun

5:55 am

Glantarell

i went to the doctor this week because it feels like on thing after another this year - and this after a lifetime of good health (apart form the cancer)

5:55 am

Glantarell

bye Lyn

5:55 am

Glantarell

i have bllood tests next week or the week after to see if there's anything obvious going on

5:55 am

grannyrose

well, hun, we are of an age when things start to go downhill.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Hard one to call, Glant..i have heard some people say best to keep the joints moving..others say keep joints warm but rested.

5:55 am

Glantarell

i ahte being unwell

5:56 am

Glantarell

they say old age is not for sissies but it seems to have landed all of a sidden - i kind of thought it would senak up on me LOL

5:56 am

zoozzoom

I hate being ill too, Glant..i should imagine we all do.

5:57 am

Glantarell

doc gave me some gel for the foot - doesn;t touch it. also on ibuprofen which doesn;t seem to be helping. I'd be quite interested in chopping it off at the moment

5:57 am

grannyrose

ditto that, glant. in my head i'm only 40....but thebody says otherwise.:(

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like the painkillers are not strong enough.

5:58 am

Glantarell

i think I'll add some paracetamol into the mix

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Well as long as you do not over do it on the pain killers, Glant *giving stern look* with one eyebrow raised.

5:59 am

grannyrose

glant, can you combine the ibuprofen with strong paracetamol. i do, and it generally works quite well. you can take the 2 drugs together as they act on different pathways within the body.

6:00 am

Glantarell

i know, Rose. I just try to avoid doing it unless absolutely necessary. Did it when I had the abscess, for days and days...

6:01 am

zoozzoom

I am going to keep touching wood here..so far nothing too major has gone wrong for me..health wise.

6:01 am

grannyrose

well use theibuprofen AND the paracetamol when you wake, and as you go to bed. use once more in the middle if you need to do so.

6:02 am

Glantarell

until this year I've been pretty trouble free with a strong immune system, don;t tend to get coughs and colds ro minor stuff but for the last few months i've hardly gotten over one thing before another arrives. I'm not even old LOL - just 57

6:02 am

Andree

i am off now , hope i will not keep away for so long this time, bye all

6:03 am

Glantarell

sorry about the allergies Mimi, we have rain this morning which is clearing out a lot of the allergens

7:04 am

I would love a 700-1000 :-)

Oh, Nono....rain...tis but a memory for me.

7:05 am

NonoNanette

I wouldn't mind the rain were it a bit warmer but there are a few snow flakes mixed in :(

7:06 am

zoozzoom

Hahahaha...just for a second..i got you going then :-)

7:06 am

MimiCat

Snow this late in May? Is that at all normal, Nono?

7:06 am

crosshair

years ago i actaully had a grand idea i shared with dr_g.it was for a secondary weekly grid that could be played when you have finished the daily one early.i envisioned a 3000-4000 word 10x10 grid

7:07 am

MimiCat

Makes me tired just thinking about it, crossy!

7:07 am

zoozzoom

I would love to have a go at it, Crossy.

7:07 am

NonoNanette

not normal at all, we have had a very cool spring so far with a sprinkling of warm to hot days

7:07 am

MimiCat

I would dig in an attempt it, though, crossy.

7:08 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like here too, Nono..even now it is tepid with showers...no sun to be se4.

7:08 am

MimiCat

Wish we could say that, Nono....we already have highs in the 100's...hate this time of year in Phoenix.

7:08 am

crosshair

it would display much like a scrabble board in size on our screens:)

7:08 am

crosshair

lol,mimi,we had frost last night and -1c or 31 american

7:09 am

zoozzoom

I would love to do a swap, Mimi....just for a week or two though.

7:09 am

crosshair

i think two days would kill us,zooz

7:09 am

zoozzoom

lol..yeah..probably.

7:09 am

NonoNanette

after 3 days in the upper 70's, it's downright cold this am. I am tempted to turn the heat on for a bit

7:10 am

crosshair

our heat is kicking on and off sporatically this morning

7:10 am

crosshair

it is 2c now

7:10 am

zoozzoom

I already have turned my heating back on, Nono :-(

7:10 am

MimiCat

So envious, you guys....I just have to move. Would do that in a second, zooz, if I could. It's a whole different lifestyle here in the summer....you must always carry water. I also carry a freezer pack with a washcloth wrapped around it so when I must dab the sweat, I have a nice cold cloth.

7:10 am

NonoNanette

i know mine would Crossy if it were turned on at all

7:11 am

crosshair

mine is still set to come on at 65f .i have not shut it off yet from the winter

7:11 am

zoozzoom

Go on flick the switch, Nono.

7:11 am

MimiCat

I really need to live in a very cold climate because at this point in my life I look so much better with more clothes on!

7:12 am

crosshair

hehe,crossy is also very dashing swaddled in spring/fall clothing.sweaters are my friend

7:12 am

zoozzoom

Now now, Mimi...come on...keep your chin up!

7:12 am

NonoNanette

Maybe we could just switch locations Mimi, I so can't stand the cold

7:12 am

zoozzoom

Get in line, Nono...i am first :-)

7:13 am

MimiCat

Would love to switch with both of you! But, alas, my cats would be very upset without me...they are feral to everyone else.

7:13 am

NonoNanette

lol zooz maybe we could share?

7:13 am

MimiCat

You're welcome here any time....I have a spare room.

7:13 am

crosshair

what if we blend the two and get something around 75f?

7:14 am

NonoNanette

Crossy that would be heavenly!

7:15 am

zoozzoom

75f for most of the year..one week of snow...two weeks of fall...sounds good to me, Crossy.

7:15 am

MimiCat

We do have beautiful mountains and lots of sightseeing to do....only a 5-hour drive from Las Vegas, too, and 7 hours to Los Angeles by car....40 minutes by air to L.A.

7:15 am

MimiCat

I moved here from L.A. and miss California every day of my life....and I've been here 30 years!

7:16 am

zoozzoom

Is it work thats stopping you from moving, Mimi?

7:16 am

MimiCat

Winters are perfect here, though, so most of the year it is beautiful and mild. We just have two seasons: heaven and hell. We've been in heaven...now we're going to hell........

7:17 am

MimiCat

No, zooz, it is money. I'm hoping my lawsuit will settle in my favor at the end of this year or beginning of next and then I plan to move up into the mountains where I'll have the change of seasons and not this oppressive summer heat.

7:18 am

zoozzoom

I wish you well in that then, Mimi..hope it all works out for you :-)

7:18 am

MimiCat

I stayed here mostly because my children are here, but as they've gotten older I'm liking them less and less, so think now I'd be good to go!

7:19 am

crosshair

the mrs and i share your vision of a small place in the mountains

7:20 am

crosshair

a place where you go into town once a month to spend half the morning at the library downloading books and hitting used book stores and grab a month of booze and food then it is back up to the ranch style log home for a month

7:20 am

MimiCat

Amen to that, crossy. I've had it with this apt. living and all the noisy neighbors and city sounds. Even though I'm not really in the "city," per se, I am still surrounded by people and their chaos and just want peace and quiet and to live with nature again and have my on gardens to tend.

7:21 am

zoozzoom

I have visions of Mr Crossy & Mrs Crossy half way up a snowy mountain in a tent....and Mrs Crossy saying * this is not what i meant*

7:21 am

crosshair

hehe

7:21 am

MimiCat

Yes, crossy, that is my vision exactly. It is possible here...up on the rim or closer to the Grand Canyon there is that kind of lifestyle available....I'm already looking.

7:22 am

i have winter camping equipment so she keeps a sharp eye on me

Isn't is strange how our lifestyles change with age? I used to be the one that would sleep until noon and hated mornings. Now I'm up by 5 every day...mostly because the cats will devil me until I feed them, but I just naturally wake up early now. Was up at 4 today.

I've been a tea person all my life. I drink it the English way....use honey and cream...well, actually a cream substitute. Love Creme Brulee flavored Coffee Mate.

7:38 am

here if you order tea, they bring you hot water in a cup, tea bag on the side and cream on the side

7:38 am

Simple..i would like a teak no milk please...although depends where you go as a pot of tea is the norm..so milk is not added to the pot.

10:15 am

jmcnrick

hi all

10:16 am

hokie carla

huh, I always thought wisen, as in wisen up, was a word.

10:16 am

jmcnrick

wise up, hokie ;-)

10:16 am

crosshair

speaking of books,i have a large collection of Clive Cussler Cussler novels in epub or pdf if anyone would like copies.just think of Mr Cusslers books as danielle Steel without the boobs and more brio and you are close lol

10:17 am

jmcnrick

wizened as in old is a word though

10:17 am

crosshair

howdy,jmc

10:17 am

hokie carla

apparently that is part of the Appalachian English I grew up speaking.

10:17 am

jmcnrick

ah i understand. . . there are a few words from my childhood too

10:20 am

jmcnrick

the phrase that always sent my hubby into fits was "might could"

10:20 am

hokie carla

LOL, I've heard that one a time or two.

10:21 am

jmcnrick

makes sense to me but he thought it was the funniest thing he ever heard. . .

10:21 am

jmcnrick

set a spell was another one. . .

10:22 am

hokie carla

where did you grow up?

10:22 am

jmcnrick

basically east texas but family from georgia all the way acrosst ;-)

10:23 am

hokie carla

I discovered in college and later at work that there are too many Appalachian-isms to count that amuse people and/or they don't understand.

10:23 am

jmcnrick

their loss. . .

10:24 am

jmcnrick

might could is a very useful and precise phrase

10:24 am

hokie carla

I use "I'll be there directly" a lot, and nobody knows what that means.

10:25 am

crosshair

is that like "ustacould"?

10:25 am

sciencegeek

Personally, I like fixin

10:25 am

jmcnrick

how could they not understand that hokie!

10:25 am

jmcnrick

no ustacould is a past tense

10:25 am

crosshair

as in "i do not play the piano anymore but i ustacould" hehe

10:25 am

hokie carla

Funny, I was just going to say we never did get into the fixin to. But, I hear that a lot here in Charlotte.

10:26 am

jmcnrick

might means possible; could means capable; might could means maybe capable. . .

10:26 am

hokie carla

I will say I don't use might could, but ustacould is very prominent in my vocab. ;-)

10:27 am

jmcnrick

haha i am just the reverse. . .

10:27 am

crosshair

we have something similar with our beloved newfies.for example "stay where you're at till i come where you're to"

10:27 am

jmcnrick

i also use pisonous. . .

10:27 am

hokie carla

that does seem a little confusing, crossy.

10:27 am

sciencegeek

Pisonous????

10:28 am

jmcnrick

pie-son-ous. . . toxic

10:28 am

hokie carla

We say greasy with a z, which apparently is not the way the rest of the country does.

10:28 am

jmcnrick

emphasis on the first syllable

10:29 am

jmcnrick

i flip back and forth on greasy. . .

10:29 am

hokie carla

I knew exactly what you were saying.

10:29 am

sciencegeek

Got awl in your car Je?

10:29 am

jmcnrick

haha i kn** you did

10:29 am

jmcnrick

i was in a play once where I was suppose to say oyel according to the yankee director. . .

10:30 am

hokie carla

we don't say awl, it's more like ul or ol.

10:30 am

jmcnrick

but the play was set just outside of Houston and I was a native so I refused to mispronounce ul as oyel

10:30 am

hokie carla

au** and ant both rhyme with ain't.

10:31 am

jmcnrick

haha we spelled it the same hokie

10:31 am

jmcnrick

yes they do! i was so surprised the first time i heard someone pronounce them differently. . .

10:32 am

hokie carla

air and our sound the same, as do pin and pen. that's why a lot of people say ink pen, to differentiate.

10:32 am

jmcnrick

sorry au** and ant are homophones but not ain't to me

10:32 am

sciencegeek

This is amusing...by and by

10:32 am

jmcnrick

i have a friend i would make say merry, mary and marry because she could make them sound different and i was amazed!

10:33 am

jmcnrick

(by the by) ;-)

10:33 am

jmcnrick

A couple of years ago I was doing business on St. Patrick's Day next to an Irish pub and someone wanted to pinch me because I wasn't wearing green. I said "Hey, LOOK at me...it doesn't get any more Irish than this!" No pinch...

Very hard to have my politics and live here...we have a governor who shouldn't even be dog catcher...really.

Janet Napolitano left to become head of Homeland Security for Obama....can't blame her...would've gotten out of Dodge, too.......

8:06 pm

bichon

Melatonin works, sometimes too well

8:06 pm

stidmama

Hey all. (((Zoom)))

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Me too, Bea. I get in bed, put melatonin under my tongue, and I am asleep in 15 min.

8:06 pm

lilliann

good night TO and take care

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Stid!

8:06 pm

Lizlin

Hi stid :)

8:06 pm

Hello, ((Stid))

8:07 pm

stidmama

Hey scrabs! How's the other coast today?

8:07 pm

lilliann

should you be taking them then zoom? and have you taken them before?

8:07 pm

bichon

I took Melatonin once on a long plane trip to South Africa. I slept and I slept an I slept on and off for two days

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

Cold here today! Was 80+ much of the last 2 wks.

8:08 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah they are my mothers ones..she gave me a few..they work for me..but takes awhile to work.

8:08 pm

bichon

We weren't too warm here in CT

8:08 pm

stidmama

Cold here too, and very rainy, unseasonal stuff suited more for October or November.

8:08 pm

lilliann

i've never heard of melatonin. i don't know if we can get that here

8:09 pm

rururocks

nice here today

8:09 pm

rururocks

warm.. 84.. light breeze

8:09 pm

Nef

back again. It started sprinkling so I quit. At least I got the deepest grass "shortened" for about 20 feet out from the patio.

8:09 pm

Lizlin

Don't think you can get it over the counter in the UK, Lilli. When I first flew to Aus, someone got me some jet ease tabs from New Zealand, with melatonin.

8:09 pm

Dorens

50 degrees and a ton of rain. and melatonin never works for me. maybe i should take two?

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

I have 3 mg tablets.

8:10 pm

BzznBea

Do you take 5 or 10 mgs, Dorens?

8:10 pm

bichon

I bought it OTC

8:10 pm

bichon

The trouble was, it took so long to wear off.

8:10 pm

Dorens

i don't know. should go and check.

8:11 pm

rururocks

it works better if you wash it down with some bordeaux doren :D

8:11 pm

lilliann

i think kalms is as strong as you can get over the counter, and they don't do much

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello doren

8:11 pm

BzznBea

Maybe that's why it works so well for me, ru.

8:11 pm

stidmama

Back in a little, switching machines.

8:12 pm

zoozzoom

haha, RuRu that would do the trick.

8:12 pm

Dorens

5 mg. hi owl

8:12 pm

Lizlin

Probably even better with a single malt

8:12 pm

Dorens

and yes ruru i agree. or an 82 burgundy

8:13 pm

Dorens

so is there an expert here on smoke detectors?

8:14 pm

rururocks

I know how to set them off

8:14 pm

Dorens

Mine kept chirping so I took out the battery and it is still chirping. does that make any sense?

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

I see no one has identified themselves as a smoke detector expert.

8:14 pm

lilliann

no dorens, mine go off at the slightest thing

8:15 pm

bichon

You know that dinner is ready when the smoke detector goes off

8:15 pm

Lizlin

Try a new battery

8:15 pm

rururocks

I'm not mechanical at all

8:16 pm

rururocks

did you put the battery in correctly doren

8:16 pm

Nef

that's how my family knows I'm done cooking; the smoke detector goes off

8:16 pm

lilliann

it might need a new battery dorens

8:16 pm

rururocks

that's probably the problem

8:16 pm

Lizlin

Mine bleeps steadily when it needs a new battery

8:16 pm

Dorens

no i haven't even put in a new battery. it is battery-less

8:16 pm

rururocks

it still needs batteries doren

8:16 pm

BzznBea

Put in a new battery. It chirps when the battery is low and when there is not one in place.

8:16 pm

Nef

the other thing is that maybe it's time to buy a new detector? I was recently told that they expire after a number of years....

8:17 pm

rururocks

*how many counselors does it take to change a smoke alarm battery? *

8:17 pm

Nef

(I guess that new smoke detectors are much more sensitive than the old ones

8:17 pm

lilliann

the fire brigade put mine in and apparently they last about 15 years but i think shop bought ones are less

8:18 pm

Dorens

oh good lord. the problem is that i just put this battery in a few weeks ago, so i thought my batteries might be bad. now it might be the detector itself. and even with my stepstool i can barely reach it, so i am straining my back when i play around with it. now maybe it is the detector?

8:18 pm

Nef

it's possible

8:18 pm

lilliann

but i do know they bleep when a new battery is needed, or as my husband says or does, when in doubt, bash it with a hammer, like he does everything!1 :)

8:19 pm

Lizlin

Bet you're sorry you mentioned it now!!! LOL!

8:19 pm

rururocks

check to see if the battery is in right doren

8:19 pm

Dorens

i think i will bash it with the hammer, along with my cuisinart, which i dropped and broke

8:19 pm

BzznBea

Last me5/12?

8:19 pm

Nef

ruru, she said it isn't in now and it's still beeping

8:19 pm

MollyL

Also, check for a reset button

8:19 pm

Dorens

the battery was in right, i just took it out. when i was checking my melatonin. i am a wreck.

8:19 pm

lilliann

it also depends on the type of battery aswell dorens, as some cheap ones don't last very long

8:19 pm

kje

get off the stool before you stretch too far and fall!

8:20 pm

rururocks

try a new battery doren

8:20 pm

Dorens

i just want the damned chirping to stop. will get a chair next, i promise, kj

8:20 pm

Nef

and don't put another stool or chair on top of the one you're using! (Find a tall person to help)

8:20 pm

lilliann

doren's can you not get someone to look at it for you?

8:20 pm

rururocks

ladders are better doren

8:21 pm

kje

*envisioning the fall*

8:21 pm

rururocks

*wonders how doren is with light bulbs*

8:21 pm

Dorens

had a tall person here last week and i am blaming this whole thing on him for not doing it when he was here! i like blaming things on him

8:21 pm

Nef

LOL!

8:21 pm

Dorens

funny thing is that it is placed just next to a short flight of stairs, so if I were to fall, i'd certainly fall down six steps

8:22 pm

Dorens

i am a pro with lightbulbs. screwdrivers too

8:22 pm

lilliann

aye molly's right. mine have 2 buttons on them and if it goes off i press both and then sometimes one will chirp for a while but then go off

8:22 pm

kje

seriously, dorens... call someone else

8:23 pm

lilliann

my downstairs one is placed like yours dorens' near stairs and the upstairs one is too high even for an 7ft person to reach!!

8:23 pm

lilliann

can you not get a neighbour in dorens?

8:23 pm

Dorens

my middle son is 6/5" but he is up in the cambridge area. four hours away.. maybe i can ask him to come here just for the smoke alarm???

8:23 pm

bichon

It doesn't have to go on the ceiling, it can go on a wall

8:23 pm

stidmama

Back. :-) Tom brought my laptop in -- migraine has me mighty unhappy.

8:24 pm

Dorens

ok. i am dragging a chair over there to see what i can do about this chirping. i'll never get to sleep tonight, melatonins or not

8:24 pm

BzznBea

Maybe you can call the fire department? They may come help you.

8:24 pm

Dorens

i promise to be careful

8:24 pm

Scrabbler

Ugh, Stid, I had a migraine a few days ago.

8:25 pm

kje

famous last words.... wanna know how often I've heard them?

8:25 pm

stidmama

I haven't had a doozy like this for a while -- the unsettled weather is what I am going to blame this one on. And of course I am out of the prescription stuff that I have to take within a short time of it starting. *sigh* oh well.

8:25 pm

Dorens

ah , but i'm not that old yet kj.

8:25 pm

lilliann

that's where the fire brigade put them bichon and i have a vibrating pad under my mattress which is joined to a unit on the wall which flashes which isn't good for me and then that goes to the smoke detector up on the landing ceiling

8:25 pm

stidmama

*arranges pillows artistically on floor around doren's chair*

8:26 pm

stidmama

Hi mama. just trying to work on li words but then hit the send and so the little li whatever that means.

8:27 pm

stidmama

I am thinking that when we build our home we should have alarms installed that at least flash if they go off. Just in case. Cheaper to do it right the first time, I think.

8:27 pm

rururocks

a little unsure of something kje Un 6

8:28 pm

cosdem

flash alarms will def.wake you up . im a deep sleeper and it wakes me up

8:28 pm

lilliann

i'm better having the vibration than flash lights as they make me dizzy

8:28 pm

vibrating alarms are better. less annoying.

I have been told there should be a list of starting letters under my board but all I have is an ad asking me to upgrade to pro...how do I see the list of starting letters?

8:28 pm

lilliann

hi gmere :)

8:29 pm

stidmama

flashing lights set off migraines for me, but I really notice them -- and there is no mistaking the flash for an earthquake, the way a vibration might.

8:29 pm

stidgmere

Hi lilliann!! already have 37 words so I'm just flyin'.

8:29 pm

stidmama

whataman, if you have played a few times, the "tile stats" disappear.

8:29 pm

kje

tm?

8:29 pm

Dorens

i'm back and now i will tell you that i was up on a swiveling kitchen stool, not a chair. and i replaced it with a similar battery from the same pack.. if this doesn't work i'm screwed. (and our fire department is volunteer so I can't think they'd want to be bothered by me for this)

8:29 pm

lilliann

hi cos

8:29 pm

stidmama

But there is a list that Lickety puts together that would help you. There is a link to that toward the bottom of the page.

8:32 pm

stidgmere

Murphy is outside chewing on a stick and wishing for warm weather.

8:33 pm

Dorens

whataman. if you deserve your name, you should fork over the 15$$ this game is worth far more!

8:33 pm

whataman

if I deserve my name?????

8:33 pm

Nef

whataman; here's the link you are looking for:http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

8:33 pm

Lizlin

Best $15 I ever paid - I also paid quite early on.

8:33 pm

stidmama

I am not chewing on a stick, and I am not outside, but otherwise I am JUST like Murphy!

8:33 pm

dianedecoder

When you first start, most things are visible, but then some of the perks disappear.

8:34 pm

Dorens

old song by salt & peppa... what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man1

8:34 pm

whataman

well, it is more challenging this way....

8:34 pm

lilliann

i paid as soon as the letters disappeared but it cost me aboutÂ£7

8:34 pm

Lizlin

I think you get either 2 weeks or a month with things visible before they disappear.

8:34 pm

rururocks

yeah..it's more impossible this way too. :D

8:34 pm

lilliann

i think it's 2 weeks liz

8:35 pm

Lizlin

True!

8:35 pm

Lizlin

Be even worse without the chat clues :)

8:35 pm

but I could quit this game any time ;D

8:36 pm

Marjetta

Can I have a clue for the last un 6/21 please?

8:36 pm

Dorens

i'm surprised you don't have to pay for chat. we are at least worth $15, aren't we?

8:36 pm

rururocks

we are .. doren.. but batteries aren't included :D

8:36 pm

Dorens

i did too nef.. think it was just ten then and SOOO worth it. a bad movie and a bottle of water cost the same

8:36 pm

whataman

ok...so it's pay and play with the helps or play without them...thanks for your responses

8:36 pm

8:41 pm

If it's still chirping it must be hard wired. Otherwise it would have no power source.

8:41 pm

Dorens

i thought taking the battery out would disconnect it.

8:41 pm

they'd rather you had a working detector than not

rururocks

8:44 pm

welki

back up, in case of power failure maybe?

8:44 pm

lilliann

is there not a neighbour you can ask to have a look for you dorens?

8:44 pm

MollyL

Hard wired detectors have batteries for back-up. If it's not hard wired, move it somewhere in the house far away from where you sleep.

8:44 pm

lilliann

just hit it with something and tomorrow you can replace it

8:44 pm

rururocks

it's probably an old smoke alarm you do have to change them every ten years

8:45 pm

rururocks

leave it outside until your neighbor gets up and comes over to fix it

8:45 pm

rururocks

<---mr. Helpful

8:50 pm

Lizlin

Congrats Marjetta :)

8:51 pm

Lizlin

Well, if it's been removed, it doesn't say much for the person, who posted it! But I'm really sorry that it obviously was upsetting.

8:52 pm

smores

Molly

8:53 pm

smores

hmm...computer being weird again

8:53 pm

rururocks

some people don't like Molly's directness and misinterpret what she's saying I think

8:53 pm

smores

stupid wankers

8:53 pm

Lizlin

In that case, they should ignore it if it uspets them

8:54 pm

Lizlin

Well said, smores

8:54 pm

Lizlin

smores

8:54 pm

smores

:D that was for lill

8:54 pm

rururocks

it is easy to ignore the chat if you choose to not want to read it.

8:54 pm

smores

yep

8:56 pm

smores

I'm not a facebook fan...didn't know

8:56 pm

rururocks

I'm not either. I don't do facebook

8:56 pm

Lizlin

I use facebook but don't often look at the babble site

8:57 pm

Lizlin

If the person who was so nasty is reading this, they must know that they're in the minority.

8:58 pm

kje

1st me6?

8:58 pm

Lizlin

me + consonant + male name

8:58 pm

smores

grr..get your nickel ready ru...BRB

8:59 pm

rururocks

hard to clue kje

8:59 pm

Marjetta

That is a great clue Liz

8:59 pm

rururocks

lemme think

8:59 pm

Lizlin

Or at least people who don't think that either the chog or fb is a place to make such comments

8:59 pm

rururocks

8:59 pm

Lizlin

lilliann

i've been on molly and couldn't find anything but i've just read back in the chat and i agree with liz, it doesn't say much for the person saying it.i don't go on it very much anmymore. i went on it the other day but that was for craft purposes and then i was off within 5 minutes

9:04 pm

lilliann

i agree with you ru, but i like her directness, but i understand molly more now than i did and know that is her way and that is molly and if people don't like it, ignore it.there's no need to be nasty about other people because we don't agree or understand them which is why babble sometimes annoys me, as we are all different and people need to remember that

9:05 pm

rururocks

very true lillian

9:05 pm

Minveryork

I'm on FaceBook, but a part of Babble page. What was said

9:05 pm

Lizlin

I agree with that

9:05 pm

lilliann

i'll be on the hit list next...oh, i forgert, i have been because of my butt :)

9:06 pm

rururocks

there are a lot of people who don't care for me.. but i just chat and contribute when there are people here i like chatting with

9:06 pm

Marjetta

Just joined the babble community on FB

9:06 pm

Lizlin

Even with this chat, you don't really know people, other than what they let you know, so to form an opinion based on this is short-sighted.

9:06 pm

lilliann

me too ru, which is why when i'm on there aren't many people :)

9:06 pm

rururocks

If everyone was more like me.. we'd all have a lot more fun :D

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

exactly ruru, except is wasn't ever intended to be a tiff. That is how things get skewed online when you can't hear the tone of voice when laughter is behind the words

9:15 pm

torgone

My $0.02 - Some people could use some perspective .. It's just a chat box on word game website ..

9:15 pm

lilliann

am,vowel and where a building is made or where you go camping

9:21 pm

stidmama

why are we talking about lilliann's butt??? (which is cute, but I really like the beard better)

9:21 pm

stidmama

hello again

9:22 pm

smores

lol...hey stid :)

9:22 pm

stidmama

hey smores ((hugs))

9:23 pm

o-o

perspectives are subjective ... we are unique ... we each have our own truths ....common sense is a fallacy ... what sense do I have in common with mongolian monk? When we see things solely through our own perspective we are bound to have problems communicating.

9:23 pm

rururocks

*starts second piggy bank for stid*

9:23 pm

lilliann

i could really start to take offence. i've been told i have a big butt and now a beard.aye fair enough, i have a few hairs need pulling out of my chin, but who doesn't...lol :)

9:23 pm

stidmama

hello o-o! like the icon! *good attitude look*

9:24 pm

stidmama

*offers to lend lilliann tweezers* it's an old-age thing, lilliann, now that we are more than 25 (or so) it's a fact of life! *grin*

9:24 pm

lilliann

you remind me of someone o-o

9:24 pm

smores

agree o-o

9:24 pm

Bugsaw

hi stid

9:24 pm

rururocks

common sense is common sense if you ask me

9:25 pm

smores

{hugs} stid back :)

9:25 pm

lilliann

speak for yourself stid, i'm 21 again :)

9:25 pm

smores

yawn...

9:25 pm

stidmama

(((bugs hugs))) how are you this evening? We had some wicked weather here, touched off a migraine for me. *sigh* BUT I scored some really lovely and comfy sweaters that had been marked down to $5 each, so it made the drive in the rain worth it.

9:26 pm

lilliann

i need more than one pair of tweezers stid :)

9:26 pm

stidmama

of course, you are, dear... *lengthens lilliann's miniskirts*

9:26 pm

lilliann

are we boring you smores??

9:26 pm

smores

getting tired way too early...still have 116 words

9:26 pm

rururocks

*gets nickel ready(

9:26 pm

stidmama

down to 121 here, smores, but I don't think I can finish tonight.

9:27 pm

Bugsaw

I used to have migraines often too stid and they ease up as you age. The one good thing that can happen!

9:27 pm

smores

nice find stid...sorry you had to use them though

9:27 pm

lilliann

i never wore mini skirts in the first place:)

9:27 pm

smores

oh no lilli...not bored, just getting sleepy

9:27 pm

stidmama

ruru -- have you ever heard of merlot fixing tummy aches? I had a doozy of an ache last weekend, and a little bit of merlot (like two tablespoons) completely fixed it! First time I ever enjoyed a red wine, actually...

9:28 pm

stidmama

happy to be joining the red hat society soon (not this year, but soon...) I like getting older most of the time!

9:28 pm

lilliann

i'm the same as bugs. my migraines went when i had my hysterectomy when i was 35, so your's might go when you go into the menopause stid

9:28 pm

stidmama

I wore miniskirts when I was young -- but as a teacher, I wear ankle-length! found a nice black and white skirt today too, come to think of it.

9:29 pm

lilliann

i was just joking smores :)

9:29 pm

rururocks

maybe I need to go into manopause

9:29 pm

stidmama

I hope they do, lilliann -- it's only been 35 years since my first migraine. About time for them to dissipate, I would think!

9:29 pm

smores

teehee

9:29 pm

lilliann

i think you're already in it ru!! :)

9:29 pm

smores

lol

9:30 pm

stidmama

hm. manopause *considers what the benefits would be*

9:30 pm

lilliann

i was 12 when i first started getting them stid so i know exactly what you're going through

9:31 pm

rururocks

i get a couple a month

9:31 pm

rururocks

they're horrible

9:31 pm

K.Elisabet

Hi everyone, I'm in the migraine club too. :-(

9:32 pm

lilliann

i went through alsorts of test at the hospital and then they told me i was just unfortunate to get them, but my mam and nan had them for years too

9:32 pm

stidmama

*makes comfy migraine sweatshirts with hoods that block out light/sound/smell/small children*

9:32 pm

rururocks

...some club...

9:33 pm

stidmama

There is a strong family history of trigeminal issues of all sides, I was pretty much doomed, I think.

9:33 pm

lilliann

not a nice club but atleast it's nice to share with others who go through and have suffered them

9:33 pm

rururocks

I inherited them from my mom

9:33 pm

crosshair

evening my babble friends:)

9:33 pm

stidmama

yes, people who understand that it's not "just a headache" that goes away with aspirin... *sigh*

9:34 pm

lilliann

me too stid and as it happened i think it was all to do with womans' problems as we all had to have a hysterectomy in our 30's

9:34 pm

K.Elisabet

I recently found out that anemia can be a contributing factor.Got that taken care of (mostly) and I'm back to my usual pattern, I think

9:34 pm

lilliann

hi crossy

9:34 pm

rururocks

I'll pass on the hysterectomy lillian :D

9:34 pm

stidmama

hey cross!

9:34 pm

crosshair

howdy,lillian:))

9:34 pm

crosshair

stidmama:))

9:35 pm

lilliann

well, you could always have something else removed ru :)

9:35 pm

Bugsaw

hello Mr. Hair

9:35 pm

stidmama

I have very low blood iron, but my migraines seem to be related to visual and air pressure things.

and yikes, lilliann!!! rofl

9:35 pm

rururocks

you can remove the hyst. :D

9:35 pm

smores

Hi crossy :)

9:35 pm

crosshair

howdy,smores:)

9:35 pm

lilliann

so the anaemic problem being cured hasn't helped k?

9:36 pm

rururocks

maybe you were a barometer in a past life stid?

9:36 pm

smores

lol..ouch lilli

9:36 pm

stidmama

could be, ruru -- but not sure if it was before or after I was a corvid (really love sparkly things!)

9:37 pm

crosshair

my beloved has always been prone to migraines and was badly anemic when we first started dating so i did what any guy would do and went out and got 20 bottles of jameson brand iron suppliment tablets and had her take one a day for a year or so.she never had anemia again but she still to this day gets wicked migraines

9:38 pm

lilliann

mine just seemed to be gene and woman related

9:39 pm

smores

I get them occasionally..but nothing like I used to

9:39 pm

lilliann

i don't think anaemia has anything to do with migraines

9:39 pm

crosshair

lol,still remember those horse pills.she was 115 pounds at the time.i used to tease her and asked if she wanted me to lift that pill to her mouth so she could take it hehe

9:39 pm

stidmama

probably depends on the person, lilliann -- physiology is pretty interesting...

9:39 pm

stidmama

brb

9:39 pm

lilliann

food apparently is one of the reasons, but i can eat cheese til the cows come home and everything else they say that can cause them

9:40 pm

crosshair

obv not since she still gets them:((

9:40 pm

lilliann

aye, you're right stid as apparently there are alot of reasons for them

9:41 pm

smores

my sister gets them when she eats chocolate or has too much milk products..caffeine too

9:41 pm

crosshair

in march she had the same migraine for 3 weeks! thing did not let up

9:42 pm

K.Elisabet

lilliann, I didn't think so, but my hematologist said as soon as I got some iron back (had to have iv treatments) my migrains should be less frequent/severe. Sure enough, he was right. Now I'm back to my usual pattern (mostly hormonal triggers)

9:42 pm

lilliann

chocolae is a cause aswell as fish and dairy products and some meat

9:42 pm

smores

lol...funny though, if she feels one coming on she bakes her fav brownies and pigs out

9:42 pm

lilliann

aye, mine were hormonal the same as the rest of the females in my family and sadly my 13 year old now suffers with them

9:43 pm

lilliann

mmmm, does that help her smores? :)

9:43 pm

rururocks

I started having them at a very young age

9:43 pm

rururocks

maybe 5 or 6

9:43 pm

o-o

I disclaim ownership of grain[e]

9:43 pm

smores

no...not at all...she just says if she's gonna suffer she's gonna have her chocolate

9:44 pm

lilliann

but i hope she doesn't have to go through all the crap the rest of us did and end up having a hysterectomy at a young age

9:44 pm

Bugsaw

one of my sons started getting them at 6 ruru. It was horrifying to know I was responsible

9:44 pm

lilliann

well why not. i can't blame her smores.sounds like a good p[lan

9:44 pm

crosshair

my beloved had a radical hysterectomy 6 years ago:(

9:44 pm

lilliann

really ru?

9:44 pm

smores

aww..sorry bugs

9:45 pm

rururocks

yep

9:45 pm

lilliann

ru, do you know why you might get them?

9:45 pm

smores

hmmm....think I missed something o-o...don't get it

9:45 pm

rururocks

not really

9:45 pm

K.Elisabet

I started young too but I didn't know they were migraines until I was in my thirties. I'd just get the visual auras mostly, or severe nausea, but no headaches.

9:45 pm

lilliann

why were you responsible bugs?

9:45 pm

gemini_J13

my graine?

9:46 pm

rururocks

stress.. sleeping in the wrong position.. mixing red wine and white wine.. etc.. certain foods possibly

9:46 pm

lilliann

it's definitely not nice crossy

9:46 pm

smores

duh...thanks gemini..guess I'm sleepier that I thought

9:46 pm

crosshair

she is still paying the price for it in stomach and intestine issues,lillian

9:46 pm

K.Elisabet

If chocolate were a trigger for me I'd say shoot me already.

9:46 pm

gemini_J13

yw

9:47 pm

lilliann

that's the usual things they come up with ru.are you on tablets for them

9:47 pm

Bugsaw

he inherited them from me not his father lilliann

9:47 pm

lilliann

lol k

9:48 pm

lilliann

but that's not your fault bugs. i got them from my mam and she from hers but we can't blame people

9:48 pm

smores

:) K

9:48 pm

lilliann

that doesn't good crossy.are they looking into it?

9:50 pm

lilliann

my pain in my abdomen went away when i had mine and i had a full hysterectomy done crossy.

I just looked up the def for that tm word - never knew there was a word for that! Wikipedia has some good examples, several of which don't involve profanity.

10:27 pm

lilliann

10:28 pm

uusue2

10:28 pm
