DH loves kids...his own seem to be on the long road to china when it comes to committing themselves to a relationship. he is so disappointed. so when my grandkiddies come around, he just wallows in being a proxy grand-dad.

2:33 am

grannyrose

nearly bed-time here for the little darlings...peace will reign, and not soon enough. you should see DH scuttling about...setting up swings, taking them for walks, playing ball games...it's such a delight to see. gosh, i love this man!!

2:33 am

dizgrannie

my hubby is heaps better with the g/kids than what he was with our own...prolly cos he is now retired and has more time for them.

2:35 am

grannyrose

yeah, diz...only with mine, he was a single parent for nearly 20 years. now he can relax and enjoy the good life.well...as much as he can...with mother mac here, it can become a tad exhausting.

4:59 am

grannyrose

4:59 am

Jivingjenny0

Still recovering from a very bad fall I had on Aoril 25th and have an enourmous lump on my head still, and I can't walk very well, but I am definitely getting better

grannyrose

hmmm, sprite. w

5:00 am

sprite

5:03 am

sprite

oh Jjenny, ajm so sorry to hear that! Did you get your head checked out? (That doesn't come out exactly as I planned, grin.)

5:03 am

grannyrose

ah, well, sweetheart, what will be, will be. am resigned to perhaps further surgery. will be further tears if that is the case. maybe looking at an anterior crucial ligament reconstruction.

5:04 am

sprite

:( That would be so sad. Am thinking of you and hoping things will work out in the best possible way.

5:05 am

grannyrose

poor jenny's sore head...lots of love and gentle hugs to you, sweetie.

5:05 am

sprite

*sending healing vibes to Jjenny as well*

sprite

5:21 am

zoozzoom

Hows it going with you & your son, Spritey..still good?

5:22 am

sprite

yes, amazingly good. It is almost like he turned a page after our last talk. He can still be nasty, but he corrects himself and reacts much better when we have to correct him.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Thats is brilliant news oSprite))..I am very pleased to hear that!

5:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, that is so good. maybe he is starting to grow-up?

5:23 am

zoozzoom

o=((

5:23 am

sprite

certainly looks like it. Yes, am so happy about it too :)

5:24 am

grannyrose

now if we could only get my eldest to grow up.....never mind, totally okay with waiting it out. *sigh*

5:24 am

sprite

and you, zooz? How are you today?

5:25 am

zoozzoom

Bless you ((Rose))

5:25 am

sprite

*sigh* Yeah, very frustrating, rose.

5:26 am

zoozzoom

I am fine thank you, Sprite..ticking along here :-)

5:26 am

sprite

dry but overcast today?

5:26 am

grannyrose

awww, thanx zooz. and thanx sprite. just give thanx for what i DO have.

zoozzoom

You?

5:28 am

sprite

you are such a beautiful person, rose.

5:29 am

sprite

same here, zooz, a little colder maybe.

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Yes, where i am the sea breeze always knocks the temp down a degree or two.

5:30 am

sprite

it is funny how we often have the same weather

5:32 am

zoozzoom

hehe true, Sprite.

5:32 am

zoozzoom

I reckon, rose is about to have her evening meal!

5:33 am

sprite

sounds about right?

5:33 am

zoozzoom

vital

5:34 am

sprite

*giggles* True, food is vi5.

5:34 am

zoozzoom

Oh why do i keep doing that....very sorry, Everyone :-(

5:34 am

sprite

because the way the site is set up makes you do it. Don't worry about it :)

5:37 am

grannyrose

nope, have already eaten. needed a potty stop. and decided to get meds out at the same time. *grin*

5:38 am

sprite

hehehe rose, good for you!

5:38 am

sprite

I have been so bad this morning... was up at 4 am from the pain, then went back to bed when the kids went to school... and slept till 1 pm!

5:38 am

grannyrose

had chicken fillet with bacon and mushrooms. so delish....

5:39 am

sprite

not 1 pm... till noon I mean

5:39 am

sprite

oh sounds lovely!

5:39 am

grannyrose

good on ya, sprite. hope you feel better now.

5:40 am

sprite

sure do. Sleep is a great healer.

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Oh i do hate that..i get all but one word on a tile...it is like the grid is saying so near but i am not giving you the last word that easily...Grr

5:41 am

sprite

can't have been noon either... was here at noon... guess I misread the clock and it was 11 am when I got up. Still, slept in big time!

5:41 am

grannyrose

so totally agree. this am, after taking pain meds, slept til after 8:30am. was so wonderful.

5:41 am

sprite

lolol zooz, indeed! I know the feeling :)

5:41 am

zoozzoom

I do like my sleep

5:41 am

sprite

how lovely, rose, and so needed.

5:42 am

grannyrose

*giggle* zooz, if you only knew how close i come at times. it's so frustrating, isn't it ?

5:42 am

sprite

I read on facebook: "Dear sleep, I am so sorry I didn't appreciate you when I was young. I know better now. Please come back."

5:43 am

ivesy3

i fell asleep early yesterday afternoon. woke up at 830. thought it was the next day and couldnt understand why i still had the same grid up and it wouldnt change. took me awhile to realize it was still sunday pm... lol

5:43 am

grannyrose

rofl, sprite. my sentiments exactly.

5:43 am

zoozzoom

Yes i have heard that one before, Sprite..lol

5:43 am

sprite

awwww ivesy! How disorienting!

5:44 am

grannyrose

poor ives. were you able to go back to sleep?

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Oh bless you, Ivesy..that must of felt strange for a while.lol

5:44 am

ivesy3

yes, after awhile... slept till this morning. guess i was tired. prob more mentally

5:45 am

sprite

good for you that you listen to your body and give it sleep when it demands it.

5:45 am

grannyrose

am having a good run lately. guess it's because i'm not having to work. am sleeping through to about 5am each night.

5:46 am

ivesy3

took a vac. day today and didnt tell anyone in family(son). so i have a day to myself.

5:46 am

sprite

still brutally early, rose, but closer to normal ;)

5:46 am

sprite

oh wow ivesy, wonderful!

5:47 am

ivesy3

when i sleep til 5 am i think its heaven lol

5:47 am

grannyrose

ives, enjoy, sweetie. stolen moments are so precious.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

I hate it when i fall into a nap..and my head has dropped forward..when i wake up a few hours later..i realize i have a big dribble mark on my jumper..lol

5:47 am

zoozzoom

5am..good gosh i am still in the land of nod at that time.

5:47 am

sprite

insomnia is a bitch, for sure

5:48 am

sprite

hahaha zooz, yeah, painful

5:48 am

grannyrose

only on your jumper, zooz. my CPAP is currently suffering from rainout. i keep waking up with liquid running into my nose or down my chin.

5:50 am

sprite

that does not sound good, rose? Shouldn't you have it checked out?

5:50 am

zoozzoom

(((Rose)))

5:51 am

grannyrose

very disconcerting. wakes me up quick smart. need to wipe my face and mask with a tissue.

5:51 am

ivesy3

well, i just turned 62.. now i wait til august for my first soc. sec. check.. i am not 62 for the whole month of june so they hold one back.. can u imagine?? scrwed up govenment.. crooks... lol

5:52 am

grannyrose

sprite, it's to do with the weather. when it's colder, water condenses in the hose...

5:52 am

sprite

the idiots, ivesy! *hugs and belated happy birthday* and may august come fast!

5:52 am

sprite

ah, I see, rose. How uncomfortable :(

5:52 am

ivesy3

ty sprite. first time i ever wanted summer to go by quickly lol

5:53 am

sprite

I can imagine, ivesy. Such a long gap to bridge :(

5:53 am

zoozzoom

I can assure you, Ivesy..here summer hardly ever gets time to stay before it departs.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

But i knew what you meant ;-)

5:54 am

grannyrose

sprite, i think the solution will be to put in ducted heating. himself is very aware of our need for it. but too late this year, will have to wait until early next year. he is so scottish in his approach to money. *sigh*

5:55 am

sprite

health over money if possible, I'd say.

5:55 am

sprite

suggestion: wake your love up, every time the wet CPAP wakes you up. We'll see how soon you have the ducted heating.

5:56 am

zoozzoom

ooh ox**** soep is in the gris..yummy!

5:56 am

zoozzoom

soup*

5:56 am

grannyrose

well, maybe i'll become a tad more testy. do you think that might work? lack of sleep, etc

5:56 am

grannyrose

rofl, sprite, great minds

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Good suggestion, Sprite..lol

5:56 am

sprite

lol zooz... a comedian here once stated: "Those who have looked under the ox6, don't like the soup anymore."

5:57 am

grannyrose

trouble is, i am such a soft touch. could never disturb him...

5:57 am

zoozzoom

hahahahaha..how gross

5:57 am

sprite

soep = dutch spelling of soup, zooz :D

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow..maybe i have dutch blood!

5:58 am

sprite

your heart is too big for your own good, rose, grin. I think it would work. "Honey? Hey, honey... hi. Just wanted to share with you that the CPAP has woken me up again and now I have trouble getting back to sleep. Thought you'd like to know."

5:59 am

Lindrickway

Hi everyone

5:59 am

sprite

hi Lindrickway

5:59 am

crosshair

reading back on sleep and cpap.crossy is a really bad boy.the machine has to have been created by the devil and i have not used mine in months. good news however is that i no longer seem to choke at night.bad news is i sleep from 1 am to 3 am and from noon till 1:30 in the afternoon and that is my sleep

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lindrickway

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Crossy

6:00 am

crosshair

howdy,zooz

6:00 am

crosshair

((sprite))

6:00 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, sprite. tried turning on my lamp, he just bought himself one of those eye-shades. he slips it on and can't see the light. then again, a verbal intrusion might just work.

6:00 am

sprite

not enough, crossy. Get back to using your machine. You didn't get it for the fun of it, now did you. *stern look*

6:00 am

sprite

*hugs crossy*

6:00 am

grannyrose

hey ya crossy and lin

6:00 am

crosshair

crossy hangs his head in shame...

6:00 am

crosshair

howdy,granny

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Crosy got told off...crossy got told off :-)

6:01 am

crosshair

guess it was not fun!! a $1,700.00 machine

6:01 am

grannyrose

naughty crossy...

6:01 am

zoozzoom

How much!!...godd grief.

6:01 am

sprite

that's what I mean. Use it. Even though it is hellish.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

This bloody keypad.

6:02 am

crosshair

it is like a shop vacuum blowing in reverse up your nose and mouth all night

6:02 am

grannyrose

cossy, do you have to wear a full mask, or can you use just a nasal bolster?

6:02 am

sprite

blowing in reverse = sucking. It is an incubus!

6:02 am

crosshair

i have to wear full mask

6:03 am

grannyrose

poor crossy....i managed to learn to keep my mouth shut when asleep.

6:04 am

crosshair

my problem and the need for the full mask is not my mouth opening,but my nose shutting down at night

6:05 am

grannyrose

nobody understands, crossy. except another CPAP user. have so many problems getting himself to understand i cannot talk once the mask is in place.

6:05 am

crosshair

so most of the time i must take it all in orally

6:05 am

crosshair

yes,another cpap user understand very well

6:06 am

crosshair

let himself wear it for an hour or 2,he will understand

6:06 am

sprite

that is a great idea

6:06 am

grannyrose

crossy??? the nasal bolster is so effective. would you like me to post you the large sizes to experiment with, or do you have a supplier where you can try them out?

6:07 am

crosshair

but use the slow pressure ramp up setting or he will panic.

6:07 am

crosshair

i have a good supplier here called medi-gas.problem is my nose blocks up at night

6:07 am

grannyrose

yeah, i don't ramp anymore, straight into CPAP.

6:09 am

zoozzoom

Phantom : Identical.

6:09 am

sprite

good one

6:11 am

grannyrose

i borrowed my brother's surplus machine which is automatic. it increases pressure when it senses i am not breathing. problem: i don't stop breathing fully. my lungs fail to use all the muscles and do not inflate fully= hypopnia. so machine does not recognise the need to increase pressure.

6:11 am

sprite

it is really complicated, isn't it :(

6:11 am

grannyrose

i kept wking up, gasping for air

6:11 am

crosshair

ahh.i am the opposite.i used to stope breathing 30-50 times a night

6:11 am

grannyrose

*waking*

6:12 am

crosshair

yes,i used to gasp when i started back up

6:12 am

crosshair

mrs says i used to jerk and twitch in my sleep

6:12 am

zoozzoom

And i use to moan when i woke up from a crinked kneck...never again.

6:13 am

grannyrose

what i have is central sleep apnea. my brain fail to tell my lungs and associated muscles to work properly. ev4 when i am awake, which is really scarey.

6:14 am

grannyrose

in 57 minutes of REM sleep, i have 23 episodes of hypopnia which lasted 20-25 seconds.

6:15 am

crosshair

it is amazing the varieties of apnea

6:15 am

grannyrose

poor crossy...so understand, mate

6:16 am

grannyrose

lol, coupled with full on episodes of apnea, didn't sleep very well. when i had my sleep study done, the nurse said my legs didn't stop all night. wonder why i was so tired.

6:17 am

sprite

fireflies. *hugs* to you all... and may you sleep as well as possible...

6:17 am

crosshair

ahh yes,will never forget those 2 sleep tests

6:17 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

6:17 am

crosshair

yaaa for sprite!!

6:18 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite..have a great day :-)

6:26 am

crosshair

i have now tried vixen for the 300th time...

6:27 am

grannyrose

nope, it's not in the grid, crossy

6:27 am

crosshair

wel..perhaps if i try 30 or 40 more times lol

6:28 am

grannyrose

i should know...i tried 301 times. *giggle*

6:28 am

crosshair

hehe

6:33 am

grannyrose

so, crossy, how are you doing with the grid?

6:34 am

crosshair

just getting rolling really 100 in or so

To be safe, however, he shows me how to turn off the gas in the kitchen. I still keep the outside door open all the time for the dogs and for the gas

hello nana

7:26 am

Scrabbler

I was born at Emory University Hospital in 1959.

7:26 am

mael

nice! It's a pretty great hospital, from what I hear

7:27 am

Scrabbler

My mother still raves about Emory and Atlanta. I recall nothing as my parents and I left when I was 10 mo old.

7:28 am

Marjetta

I am just outside Atlanta, in Lawrenceville.

7:28 am

mael

I'm not a huge fan of the city itself, but that's mainly the mosquitoes that make me say that

7:28 am

Scrabbler

Hi Marjetta.

7:28 am

Marjetta

At least they are not as big here as they are in Louisianna

7:29 am

Scrabbler

I tell my mother that Atlanta has changed. It is not the same place that she loved from 1958-1960.

7:29 am

Marjetta

Hi Scabbler

7:29 am

rubyfoo

hi marjetta

7:29 am

It is not the same place at all Scrabbler

7:30 am

Marjetta

I grew up here, moved around the world for a while and then came back. It has really changed.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

It is a huge metropolis now.

7:30 am

mael

as far as I'm concerned they're bad enough in Boston as it is. They think I'm a buffet

7:30 am

MimiCat

Hi, all. My best friend of 44 years lives in Woodstock. I lived in Atlanta for 4 years and worked for a branch of Emory and sang in the original Underground. It was in the early 70's when Atlanta was just taking off as a bigger city.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi Mimi.

7:30 am

MimiCat

It as really exciting then.

7:31 am

MimiCat

((Scrabbler))

7:31 am

7:31 am

I have a free lunch sign that obviously only mosquitoes and other biting insect can see! lol

Hi Trif

Hi, Trif!

I was doing yard work last evening and was a buffet for the bugs.

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

7:33 am

Marjetta

I am allergic too. Bite pen and benedryl to the rescue.

7:33 am

rubyfoo

funny, I was reading buffet as in Warren and didn't know what you meant duh

7:34 am

MimiCat

We don't really have many mosquitoes here in Phoenix and no fleas either. The dryness takes care of that.

7:34 am

mael

haha, ruby. :)

7:34 am

rubyfoo

hi TO

7:34 am

Jayk

Hi guys. Missing one de 7/32 next to another one. it HAS to be a del but alas, it's the left-most D. Anyone?

7:34 am

Scrabbler

My current source of anxiety is whether to get a new (used) car. My 8 yr old Subaru has 167K miles and I will need $1200-1400 in repairs soon.

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

hi ruby.

7:34 am

rubyfoo

we have bats who take care of flying insets, what a pleasure and beautiful, too

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jay

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I have 2 bat boxes.

7:35 am

crosshair

scrabby!:))

7:35 am

Uneaixoise

early morning excitement next door -- saw 2 firetrucks pull up in front of neighbor's house -- turns out their very senion Bernese mountain dog crawled under their little car and got stuck . . . brawny firemen just lifted the whole car and released sweet Brunnen!

7:35 am

MimiCat

Scrabs, I would definitely say get a new car. Once those repairs start happening, it just keeps on going and ends up costing more than a new one.

7:35 am

rubyfoo

there is a bat cave in the cliff above us and they come down and drink from our fishpond

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, my general advice man, my guru, my buddy.

7:35 am

7:36 am

he's my buddy and I was so worried

7:36 am

MimiCat

((crossy))

7:36 am

rubyfoo

that's a lovely dog story; they don't often end that well

7:36 am

Scrabbler

A bat cave--wow, Ruby.

7:36 am

crosshair

((mimi))

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

whew :-)

7:37 am

rubyfoo

they come out at dusk and if I'm in the garden, alone or with a dog or two, they make tight circles around me (us)

7:37 am

mael

how are there 30 7s in this grid??

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Mimi, that is what I am thinking. I like to drive my cars "into the ground" but it is tough to know when that time is.

7:37 am

rubyfoo

can't be mael

7:37 am

MimiCat

Crossy, it was 109 degrees here yesterday, so I pulled out the log cabin picture and pretended it was cold!

7:37 am

Scrabbler

30 7's! I had not noticed.

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

me either -- yikes!

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

back in a mo . . .

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Good plan, Mimi.

7:38 am

crosshair

wow ,mimi!! was 70f here and sunny witha breeze off the bay.AZ is no place for you!!

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

your car is young but it is not as if you can hop on the bus if you don't have it. and your mother relies on you

7:39 am

Scrabbler

I live in a rural area, so no public transportation for me.

7:39 am

MimiCat

I always bought new cars for the warranty and so I'd know they were taken care of from the start. I do think it's worth the extra money. When you buy used, you don't know how well it was maintained and you start out with less time on the car....just my opinion. I'd do it SOON, though while you can get a decent trade-in.

7:39 am

rubyfoo

*woof* everybody, time to huddle by the fire; this can't be June

7:39 am

crosshair

woof,ruby:)

7:39 am

MimiCat

I know, crossy....gotta get outta here next year for sure.

7:40 am

crosshair

nice rural area..that jeep is calling,scrabby...

7:40 am

Scrabbler

My auto insurance company has a car-buying and loan program to help get a good price on a car and a low interest rate.

7:40 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, how did you fare with the rain? i thought we would need an ark on Friday. but saturday....

7:40 am

crosshair

think of how sexy you will look with the top down and your kayak strapped to the top

7:40 am

Scrabbler

We had lots of rain and my sump pump was busy.

7:41 am

MimiCat

Rain.....sigh.....

7:41 am

Scrabbler

I love my Subaru, Crossy, and I can keep my same roof rack for the kayak and canoe.

7:41 am

72 Temple Owl

we were outdoors ALL DAY. the ride back was hairy though, through one of the worst rain bands. scary

7:41 am

crosshair

ahh,thinking subaru again? the new outback sport is nice,they have a inline 6 now for a powerplant

7:42 am

MimiCat

Outdoors....sigh again....

7:42 am

Scrabbler

I wish we could send you some rain, Mimi. We have had a very rainy spring.

7:42 am

72 Temple Owl

no mimi, don't wish for this. the campers were drenched, we were SOOOOOOOO glad we were in a hotel

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy, I am back to thinking of another Subaru. Although there are Jeep and Ford dealers nearby (in the village where I work) Subaru is just a smarter choice.

7:43 am

Marjetta

dixie is too a word, and a place!! lol

7:43 am

MimiCat

We haven't had any rain in months....this drought is awful. Monsoon should be coming end of June/beginning of July.

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

the campground had amazingly great drainage as far as the event venues went, and nice gravel roads.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

I tried it too, Marjetta.

7:43 am

crosshair

the good outback will run the price of a fully loaded jeep however

7:44 am

Scrabbler

I am looking at gently used Foresters, and will contact my auto insurance company for their buying program.

7:44 am

MimiCat

Phantom: vixen.

7:45 am

MimiCat

Love a grid I can sink my teeth into...rather than it sinking its teeth into ME!

7:45 am

Scrabbler

I tried variations of that word, Mimi.

7:45 am

bichon

hi folks. At Heathrow, at my gate.

7:45 am

72 Temple Owl

MimiCat

Not commenting on the chat...just a phantom..promise!

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

this grid is tedious. i thougt i would be happier after so many days off

8:08 am

MimiCat

I like the long ones...I'll never get anywhere near all the words but I feel more productive getting so many.

8:09 am

MimiCat

OK---not to be picky, but...isn't the "bean" here named after a place? So wouldn't that be capitalized and, thus, not allowed?

8:10 am

72 Temple Owl

not capitalized when used as noun.

8:12 am

MimiCat

Sorry...making no sense to me....Am I just really stupid this morning?!

8:12 am

Another de8 is tooth doctor related.

3:35 pm

Remember Groucho Marx said "You're only as old as the woman you feel." Of course, now with cougars (like I used to be), we can change it to the men we feel.

3:36 pm

3:40 pm

MimiCat

Nah...ask crossy...I took a rowboat to England....

3:40 pm

TraderKate

all you will be able to get at the corner store will be god-awful ernest and julio wines, a few best selling beers and a very poor selection of liquor.... the larger towns will have larger enterprises, but hte smaller ones will lose out big time...

3:41 pm

crosshair

problem with that gap is you have no frame of reference in experiences,music or life.after the sex,you want to send him out to play so you can talk with the adults;)

3:41 pm

MollyL

I'm not even a big wine drinker and Ernest & Julio makes me queasy.

3:41 pm

crosshair

lol@rowboat

3:41 pm

Bea, my friends who drink wine say Trader Joe's is the place to go if you don't have big bucks to spend on it.

4:00 pm

MimiCat

Crossy, just went to a news site and there is a guy that owns a place called Chicken Charlie's that now offers a sloppy joe sandwich but using Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the bread! He also has deep-fried bacon wrapped pickes!

4:00 pm

BzznBea

For an everyday wine, TJ's is great. When I want to splurge, I'll buy something more expensive.

4:00 pm

lilliann

bye kate tc hin :)

4:00 pm

4:01 pm

MimiCat

Some people just aren't particular WHAT they put in their mouths....and I'll stop right there....!

4:02 pm

crosshair

besides,the only place that sells those doughnuts in ontario are the wal-marts that invaded us by the time they get to use,they are not that much to talk about

4:02 pm

costco has good wine prices. . . but you have to buy a case

not a big wine fan but always wanted to try those wines in a box.set myself up with a good book in my favorite chair and a length of 1/4 inch flex line with a clip on the mouth end and just go to it

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

it has some decent wine and it is true there are some good cheap wines . . . .but there are not great cheap wines. . .

4:06 pm

jmcnrick

don't tell ru bu i buy wine in a box. . . it allows me to only drink a glass and not worry about it going bad. . .

4:06 pm

lilliann

i like the wine boxes crossy

4:06 pm

lilliann

that's actually a good idea crossy :D

4:07 pm

crosshair

it is ok,jmc,they are still getting used to science telling them that the scew cap does a better job than any cork

4:07 pm

crosshair

indeed lillian was thinking on a gravity feed set up

4:08 pm

MollyL

Ahahahahaha...only a glass...ahahahahaha!

4:09 pm

crosshair

think i can get some IV like at the med supply house

4:09 pm

crosshair

line

4:09 pm

lilliann

i like namaqua which comes in a box and tesco's use to sell it and it was always popular and sold out quickly in most of their stores which is why they have stopped stocking it!!??

4:10 pm

crosshair

question: does box wine keep as well as a sealed bottle? can it be kept for months on end??

4:10 pm

lilliann

it is a south african wine.they now sell lionsgate and that sells out quickly too so no doubt, they'll stop selling that soon as it is popular

4:11 pm

jmcnrick

of wine molls of wine. . . you don't here me looking for jack in the box. . .

4:11 pm

jmcnrick

*hear

4:11 pm

MollyL

The way I've heard it, once you open a bottle it's only good for a few days, re-corked or not. No clue about box wine.

4:11 pm

lilliann

mine's never there long enough, so i don't know crossy..lol

4:11 pm

lilliann

hang on, i have a box in, i'll havea look

4:12 pm

jmcnrick

that is the value of boxed wine. . .there is no way for the air to get in so it doesn't change. . .

4:12 pm

crosshair

lol,yup,guess the stuff never has time to expire.like my bacon.someone asked me about expiry dates on bacon packaging and i had to say" to be perfectly honest,the problem has never come up for me"

4:13 pm

lilliann

it has to be consumed within 6 weeks

4:13 pm

crosshair

ahh,ok

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

inside the box is a vacuum sealed bag. . . i confess pulling out the spigot is vaguely reminiscent of pulling out another "spout" like object. . .

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

that is the lawyers talking lill. . . .

4:13 pm

MollyL

Same thing happened to me about the expiration date on eggs. I never have them long enough for that to be a problem.

4:14 pm

lilliann

lol crossy.i must admit i have bacon in the fridge for weeks

4:14 pm

crosshair

same here with eggs,never ever had one long enough for it to go bad

4:14 pm

crosshair

gasp!! lillian!!

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

expiration dates are written by frightened lawyers

4:14 pm

lilliann

oh ok jmc

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

i buy bacon on sale and put some of it in the freezer. . .

4:15 pm

lilliann

and eggs unless hubby is home as he loves his eggs and eats them instead of taking pills for the rest of his life

4:15 pm

crosshair

bought 4 pounds at once a while ago.it was on sale.still never had to worry about expiration or the need to freeze any lol

4:15 pm

MollyL

??? Eats eggs instead of taking pills for what?

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

well 4 pounds is a lot of bacon for me all by my lonesome. . .

4:16 pm

crosshair

i am feeding 3,one of them a 19 year old with hollow legs

4:16 pm

lilliann

i know the dates on food is a guide really,it's there to cover the shops, so i'm never worried if a pack or box of something isn't eaten in that time and i've never got ill from out of date food yet

4:16 pm

MollyL

<---Could never go through 4 pounds of bacon before the expiration date.

4:17 pm

crosshair

want to bowwow my 19 year old son? he will clean that fridge out

4:17 pm

crosshair

borrow

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

that's why i freeze it molls

4:17 pm

crosshair

lol@ bowwow

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

arf

4:18 pm

crosshair

that is also about it,i do not think he chews. it is more tear,rend and swallow

4:19 pm

MollyL

I have a 21 year old and he doesn't eat quite that much.

4:19 pm

lilliann

when he was younger and use to do body building apparently the coach was giving everyone shakes that had steroids in and no-one knew and my hubby ended up in a coma for a few days and they told him he would have to be on tablets for the rest of his life to help thin his blood(i think it was thin or it could be thicken, i can't remember) anyway he didn't want anymore drugs in his system so the dr looking after him said that he had a dr friend who did herbal medicine and they found out eggs was the best thing

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

my 27 yo has scrolled back to eating less than i do. . . but my 40 yo nephew has never paused. . .

4:20 pm

crosshair

meanwhile,if i eat a potato chip at the wrong time of day,i am burping it for 3 days:((

4:22 pm

crosshair

your hubby is lucky,lillian.that could have done even more damage

4:23 pm

MollyL

My boy eats pretty healthy for a guy his age and size. He is way beyond junk food.

4:24 pm

lilliann

he was very lucky in alot of ways crossy

4:29 pm

Soodle

<----- Huge fan of wine-in--a-box! Ah! Those halcyon days of the hypermarket in Calais. 10 litreboxes of wine. I was tempted to jettison a kid or two, just to make room for more vino!

4:30 pm

lilliann

LOL soodle and hi :)

4:30 pm

crosshair

lol!! soodles ! and her car full of 10 litre boxed plonk!!

4:33 pm

Soodle

Son of Soodle is billeted very close to Dover. I'm very tempted to try another 'booze-cruise' on the Channel Tunnel!

4:33 pm

MollyL

Raise a glass to L, Soodle. It's her birthday.

4:33 pm

crosshair

i have heard about the new chunnel

4:34 pm

crosshair

happy b-day lillian!!

4:34 pm

Soodle

Ah!!! ((((Lill))))). Many happy returns. Hope your having a wonderful day. XX

4:35 pm

lilliann

ty crossy and soodle.x

4:36 pm

lilliann

is he in the army soodle?

4:36 pm

lilliann

probably a stupid question

4:36 pm

MollyL

She has made a mess of the PB and is pouring size large glasses of vodka.

4:37 pm

crosshair

dentiled! now crossy can run to the pb!!

4:37 pm

Soodle

Lol! Not so stupid! His Dad's English. But no, he works for Southern Gas Networks.

4:37 pm

MollyL

I don't think so L. But I can see why you asked. "Billeted" is a military term here.

4:37 pm

lilliann

i was just going to say that molly :)

4:37 pm

crosshair

and here

4:38 pm

lilliann

where near dover?

4:38 pm

Soodle

'Billeted' is his term! Indicating that its temporary.

4:38 pm

lilliann

yes, no small measures in the pb tonight.we're having a party!!

4:39 pm

lilliann

ahh, ok

4:39 pm

Soodle

He's in Hastings, Lil. I hope to get over there at some time over the summer.

4:40 pm

lilliann

i like Hastings.good for shopping.

4:40 pm

Soodle

Cross, the 'Chunnel' is the most efficient mode of transport I have ever used. Drive your car onto a train, and 20 minutes later, voila, you're in France!

4:41 pm

lilliann

i can't go in teh tunnel as it makes me dizzy so i have to take the longer journey on the ferry, but i prefer the ferry

4:41 pm

MollyL

<---Is totally creeped out by underwater transport.
: O

4:42 pm

crosshair

sounds like a bit of fun

4:42 pm

lilliann

my brother's girlfriend uses the chunnel regularly as she is a customs officer in france for the english side

4:43 pm

crosshair

how far from paris itself does the chunnel exit at

4:44 pm

crosshair

?

4:44 pm

Soodle

Yup! Theres French customs on the English side & vice versa.

4:45 pm

lilliann

the tunnel ends at calais crossy

4:45 pm

lilliann

and then the train continues to paris and wherever else. calais to paris is about 4 hours

4:45 pm

Soodle

But you can get the Eurostar all the way from London to Paris.

4:46 pm

crosshair

ahh ok.that is the one i would be after,right from london to paris

4:47 pm

Soodle

I won a great prize once, that included the London Paris train, followed by dinner in the Jules Verne restaurant on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower!

4:47 pm

crosshair

when we are in the U.K,i wanted to do a pit stop in london to see my uncle and his family and was debating a weekend in paris

4:48 pm

MollyL

How come you can win everything but the lottery?

4:48 pm

crosshair

4:48 pm

lilliann

london to folkestone is just under 2 hours

4:48 pm

Soodle

Magnifique, Crossy!

mm.chunnel from london to paris is 126 dollars per person ,one way:(

4:51 pm

Soodle

Blowing special birthday Irish luck across the Irish Sea to Lil......

4:52 pm

lilliann

4:52 pm

lilliann

4:53 pm

crosshair

pound

4:53 pm

crosshair

i would call it in around 600-650 pounds

4:53 pm

Soodle

And thats just the start, Crossy. Paris is an expensive city.

4:53 pm

crosshair

:((

4:54 pm

lilliann

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

5:14 pm

Jillyjill

:-) thanks lilliann

5:14 pm

gremlinn

Are plurals more deterimental than beneficial to have in a language, I wonder.

5:14 pm

gremlinn

Japanese gets by without plurals for the most part.

5:15 pm

gremlinn

Also, I vote the letter "Q" out of the alphabet. We can use "kw" instead.

5:16 pm

MollyL

And save on u's. I like it.

5:16 pm

periwinkle

vi6/27 pls

5:17 pm

gremlinn

Plural of vi5

5:17 pm

periwinkle

nm it was a pl :)

5:17 pm

MollyL

Blood pressure, pulse, etc...plural

5:17 pm

periwinkle

ty Molls

5:17 pm

It is more aesthetically pleasing to have a 25 letter alphabet, too. It would align perfectly with the 5x5 grid!

5:18 pm

Hi Annie :-)

5:21 pm

5:21 pm

Jillyjill

(((annie)))

5:21 pm

gremlinn

vi8 looks like a fancy spelling of the vi7

5:22 pm

MollyL

Oh Lord, the weather radar map looks like Armageddon.

5:22 pm

gremlinn

lots of biology/chemical words that end in -in are also spelled with a certain additional vowel added

5:23 pm

lilliann

do you want those ones magzel or you already have them?

5:23 pm

Soodle

The Irish language alphabet has only 18 letters. No J, V, W, X, Y or Z!! Now, beat that for an interesting tidbit if the day, Crossy!

5:23 pm

gremlinn

Doesn't sound very jazzy, Soodle!

5:23 pm

Anniebrook

I live on the 23rd floor and I cannot see a thing out the window..very very foggy

5:24 pm

Soodle

No jazz here Grem! Just diddly-eye!

5:24 pm

crosshair

interesting indeed!!..well all you need is ways to spell whiskey and a few other things right? hehe

5:24 pm

Jillyjill

Ouch molly...something headed your way?

5:25 pm

gremlinn

whiskey can be spelled usquabae - tidbit

5:25 pm

MollyL

I would have to pretend I was mute if I were ever in a room full of Gaelic speakers.

5:25 pm

crosshair

all i am going to do is say 'glenfidditch" then let the barkeep do his thing

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

dixie should be a word....whistling anyhoo

5:26 pm

Soodle

From the Irish.... Uisce beatha! The water of life.

5:26 pm

MollyL

All the people in Scotland will be happy about that.

5:26 pm

MollyL

The Glenfidditch thing.

5:27 pm

gremlinn

So "usque" by itself is water?

5:27 pm

crosshair

and i can say smirnoff in many langauages:))

5:27 pm

magzel

5:27 pm

crosshair

Wow Annie. The 23rd floor? Yikes. I'd be a basket case! Lol

5:28 pm

lilliann

magzel.de8/50 is an animals home and what we put on walls in bathrooms and kitchens and also floors

5:29 pm

lilliann

that's definitely a long way up annie.i take it you are in the clouds :)

5:29 pm

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

5:31 pm

My friend sent me a picture of the balcony of her 53rd floor condo in Miami. I got dizzy just looking at it.

5:31 pm

Jillyjill

too deep in d's....need a break...bbs...

5:32 pm

lilliann

i don't have it yet annie, sorry

5:32 pm

Soodle

I nearly had a heart attack when I looked out the window of our hotel in NYC. We were on the 53rd floor.

5:33 pm

lilliann

53 floors is way too many i think

5:33 pm

MollyL

I can't stay up that high. Acrophobia. Plus you would never get out in an emergency.

5:34 pm

Soodle

It sure is if the elevators break down!

5:34 pm

lilliann

that is why i think it is way to many molly.great view though

5:34 pm

MollyL

Elevators get shut down in an emergency.

5:34 pm

gremlinn

You could get out if all the other buildings around were that high, and you had sky bridges!

5:35 pm

lilliann

mmm, definitely too many stairs for to go down on my backside soodle. i'd have no skin left :)

5:35 pm

Soodle

I live in a bungalow. And am happy to do so!

5:35 pm

Anniebrook

When Sandy hit last October I walked down 24 flights of stairs to get out.

5:35 pm

lilliann

i'd have to do a bungie out the window

5:35 pm

MollyL

Annie I get sweaty and breathless just thinking about that.

5:36 pm

zoozzoom

DI8 Di + nouns, advectives & super******

5:36 pm

lilliann

that's alot of stairs annie

5:36 pm

gremlinn

All tall buildings should come with helix-shaped slides for people to go down floors. Kids like them, why should they get all the fun?

5:36 pm

Anniebrook

Im used to it. When I first moved in I wouldn't go near the windows. Now I love it...great views.

5:36 pm

Soodle

< what Molls said

5:36 pm

5:42 pm

lilliann

omg, my rave days have long gone as in dancing but rave as never shut up, i'll be here to annoy people for years to come hopefully :)

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

ty lill the artist is a friend of mine

5:47 pm

lilliann

well, she is very talented.do you own this painting then jmc?

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

well silly me then. . . that is what i get for breezing through. . . .

5:47 pm

MollyL

Well, it's Maurice Sendak's birthday too, but I don't think L minds sharing with him, since he is done with birthdays.

5:48 pm

lilliann

saying that, the bairn bought me some knowing that i wouldn't eat many,like the cake..lol she's not stupid :D

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

i own the right to post it on my webpage. . . i own several other of her works including some that i commissioned. . .

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

clever bairn

5:49 pm

lilliann

you'll have to show more of her work jmc, as it would be good to see them and a good advert

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

www.marybelcher.com

5:50 pm

lilliann

she's definitely not stupid jmc, that's for sure, but she is sneaky

5:50 pm

lilliann

need to google maurice

5:50 pm

lilliann

writing that down jmc so i can look later

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

nah. . .that is way to transparent to be called sneaky. . haha

5:51 pm

MollyL

I don't know. That is like getting a tool kit from your husband on your birthday. Bad form.

5:52 pm

lilliann

no, she's sneaky in other ways

5:52 pm

MollyL

Or "Happy birthday Mom. I got you that shirt in my size that I've been wanting."

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

not quite that bad. . .although i gave my sister a tool box on her birthday right after she dumped her jerk hubby

5:54 pm

lilliann

saying that, she did buy me a pack with mini sized chocolates that she thought was 70% dark chocolate with different flavourings but some ended up being milk chocolate which i don't eat as i find it sickly

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

haha so she tried!

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am wandering off again. . .bbl

5:54 pm

MollyL

Oh honey. Thank you for the sickly chocolates!

5:55 pm

lilliann

other people bought me chocolates and i didn't like to say i don't eat tehm so she'll be getting alot of them but i'll have to hide them or she'll pinch them all very quickly!!

5:55 pm

MollyL

Doesn't anyone know that you don't like chocolates?

5:56 pm

lilliann

i don't think she realized molly as alot of the packaging was hiding them so you could only see the 70% dark chocolate ones, so i can't blame her for that but when she found out she was very happy :)

5:57 pm

Trifioso

hello friends

5:57 pm

MollyL

No, I meant the other people who got you chocolates.

5:57 pm

lilliann

my brother should, but i think his girlfriend ordered my beautiful flowers and it came with a box of chocolate and she doesn't know as i haven't met her yet and my daughter's boyfriend's mam always buys me chocolates for christmas and just because and i don't have the heart to tell her i don 't eat them

5:58 pm

lilliann

hi trif

5:58 pm

MollyL

Hello dear friend. How is your dear self today? Deary I hope. : P

5:59 pm

lilliann

i'd actually prefer a tool box or somewthing i could use as in kitchen scissors, things like that, even a box of tissues. i'm very much like my husband, but i'm still very thankful that people have spent their money and gone out of their way for me

6:00 pm

MollyL

A box of tissues? I think you rate better than that on your birthday L.

6:01 pm

lilliann

it wouldn't bother me if someone bought me a box molly as i can use them :)

6:01 pm

lilliann

i still need 14 x7's. they are neverending!!

6:02 pm

MollyL

You are easy to please L. : )

6:03 pm

lilliann

yes i am molly :D

6:03 pm

MollyL

I'm glad you got pretty flowers.

6:03 pm

lilliann

i don't need expensive gifts and i'd prefer someone to give me some beads so i can make my own jewellery than buy me a piece of jewellery

6:04 pm

penquis

hello all...been lurking....

6:04 pm

MollyL

I learned a long time ago that you either tell people what you want when they ask, or you get a bunch of stuff you don't want/need.

6:05 pm

lilliann

so am i molly. they are beautiful.there are lillies,gypsophelia(spelt wrong)pink roses, gerbras and some green leaves :)

6:05 pm

lilliann

no-one asks me, so i don't like to say what i want

6:05 pm

lilliann

hi pen :)

6:07 pm

lilliann

the flowers actually have a lovely scent, wheras sometimes you get flowers and they have no smell as they are forced

6:07 pm

Jillyjill

*sigh* another confused call from my mother in law...

6:08 pm

MollyL

Jill is she still living on her own?

6:10 pm

Jillyjill

She's in an independant apartment now in Gillette WY where my hubby's sister lives. So more family supervision

6:11 pm

lilliann

sorry jill, that has to be tough

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

We are having great difficulty with the youngest sister whom is causing more problem. We started a privated FB family group to try to keep communication between us

6:12 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh, my typing sucks!

6:13 pm

lilliann

how old is the youngest one jill and don'r worry about it, we all end up with mistakes here :)

6:13 pm

lilliann

see...lol

6:14 pm

Jillyjill

She is 45. Spoiled youngest child..

6:14 pm

MollyL

Independent living can be difficult for someone with Alzheimer's.

6:15 pm

lilliann

so why is she causing trouble?

6:15 pm

Jillyjill

Personally she needs to be in assisted living, but eldest sister (there where she is) supposedly is following her pills...

Lilllian, she tends to "rattle on" on phone calls talking about coming to see Mom, then Mom can't remember when and keeps calling us asking where Mary is..or like last week, she didn't let any of us know she had cancelled plans to come that weekend.

6:17 pm

Jillyjill

communication people, communication!

Whoever has agreed to look after your mother in law needs to be a constant in her life. If that isn't possible, you're right, she needs assisted living.

6:18 pm

lilliann

my nan who has senile dementia is now in a home.she will be 96 this year but about 4 years ago she was in her own flat but with a warden, but shouldn't have been living on her own then as her memory was going but now she doesn't remember anyone and has got very physical with others and on tablets to calm her down. it is upsetting to know she is like that.she lives about 5 hours away from me but i don't want to see her as it would really upset me. i want to remember her how she was

6:18 pm

lilliann

she should be telling you

6:19 pm

Jillyjill

Not really an issue molly, the family there is overseeing her daily+, there are also $$ issues so waiting is what they want to do

6:19 pm

MollyL

I would have like to remembered my Dad the way he was, but that wasn't an option. I was all he had.

6:20 pm

Jillyjill

This whole dementia/Alzhiemers disease is horrid. I say prayers daily that I can die suddenly and not have to go through all this. Wish that wasn't what my hubby is going to go through.

6:20 pm

MollyL

That is sad for your mother in law Jill. I will keep her in my prayers.

6:20 pm

lilliann

my aunty went to see her last week as she lives about 50 minutes away and my nan just got up and walked out on them and went outside with her newspaper because she couldn't remember her own daughter

6:21 pm

zoozzoom

Fireworks for me...bed time for me...((Jilly)) ((Molly)) ((Lilliann))

6:21 pm

MollyL

It is horrid Jill.

6:21 pm

lilliann

that is sad molly.

6:21 pm

Jillyjill

And my brother in law there has the same thing with his mom, this must be so hard for him. His mum is already at the point she doesn't know him.

6:21 pm

lilliann

wtg zoom!! nite hin, sweet dreams and tc :D

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

Niters zoozzoom! WooTs all around!

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

D's demolished!

6:23 pm

MollyL

I wish there was more family education about Alzheimer's. It's not about whether or not someone knows who you are. It's about them having a regular kind visitor.

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

phantom...eclair...now I am hungry!

6:23 pm

lilliann

it upsets me that my nan never wanted to go into a home but she has 24 hour care.we use to be close and talk on the phone atleast twice a week

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

And family checking constantly molly!

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

I still think there are moments that they do still connect...that's why visiting can help.

6:26 pm

MollyL

There are definitely moments when they do still connect.

6:26 pm

lilliann

i've worked with people with senile dementia and alzeimers and i've become angry when some family members don't visit but i can now understand being on the otherside.my nan doesn't remember anyone who visits now or rings up, and it's knowing when she will have a good day.plus. apart from my aunt, we all live to far away just to visit regulary

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

Family home, time to prepare dinner...137 left...thanks for supporting me all...you will never know how much this babble family means to me!!

8:03 pm

uusue2

hi wht!

8:03 pm

MimiCat

H, wht1

8:03 pm

MimiCat

Sue, I'm just so grateful for having my little home and my cats and my wonderful friends....life is good.

8:04 pm

uusue2

glad to hear that, mimi! I am looking forward to retiring (again) in a couple of weeks.

8:04 pm

lilliann

hi sue :)

8:04 pm

MimiCat

I don't have a love now, but I have excellent memories of past loves and I have been lucky.

8:04 pm

lilliann

hi wht

8:05 pm

lilliann

sorry, it took me forever to get off fb as it froze when i went to log out which is one of the reasons i don't go on it much anymore

8:06 pm

MimiCat

I feel it is important to be grateful for what we DO have rather than lament what we don't....much more satisfying.

8:06 pm

uusue2

that is a very good way to look at things, mimi

8:07 pm

MimiCat

It is a choice, I feel...why be unhappy when most of us should be grateful?

8:07 pm

lilliann

ty buggie. i'm with you and TO mimi. i don't post very often.i just did to say ty for my birthday wishes but other than that i probably won't be on again for a while

8:07 pm

MimiCat

Lillian...do have your daughter contact me...I have SO many wonderful animal stories she would love and I LOVE to tell them!

8:10 pm

lilliann

exactly mimi. we should be thinking of what we have and not dwell on what we don't.life is hard but i think if a person wants to, then they can overcome most obstacles

8:10 pm

lilliann

i will mimi and tyvm

8:10 pm

MimiCat

You are such a good example of gratitude in the face of hardship, lilliann...I'm so proud of you!

8:12 pm

lilliann

ty, but i just get on with it.there's no point in complaining.i'm alive and have a daughter and husband that i love very much and a great family. what's to moan about.life is too short and we will all have problems to copew with along the way and some will be very tough but i think with the right attitude we can get through them

8:13 pm

MimiCat

You're an inspiration, dear.

8:14 pm

MimiCat

I'm so happy I have been able to know you....this is a wonderful community of fantastic people.

8:15 pm

lilliann

i don't think so.i just have a positive outlook on things. i just don't see the point in being a pessimist, but don't get me wrong, i still have bad hours where i start feeling sorry for myself but then i think of others who have it harder

8:16 pm

MimiCat

Yes, I understand....I have been to very dark places in my life. But I have come out on the other side. There is grace in everyday life.

8:16 pm

lilliann

ty hin, i'm glad i've met you too and am so looking forward to reading your books so hurry up and write them :) and your right, there are some lovely and inspirational people on here

8:16 pm

MimiCat

This site is such a blessing....I am grateful.

8:17 pm

8:17 pm

MimiCat

8:23 pm

uusue2

8:28 pm

lilliann

8:28 pm

uusue2

hi peach! Don't have it but will look

8:29 pm

gapeach

Thanks, sue.

8:29 pm

lilliann

it's abit like the 5 before it but add a vowel

8:30 pm

lilliann

as in baby position in pregnancy

8:32 pm

uusue2

ha, took me a while to figure out where to put the extra vowel

8:32 pm

lilliann

sorry, bad clue

8:33 pm

gapeach

I'm still trying.....

8:33 pm

gapeach

Not a bad clue, lilliann.....I'm just groggy.

8:33 pm

lilliann

peach, greek cheese but reverse the last vowel with another

8:34 pm

penquis

what about the fe 7/40?

8:34 pm

lilliann

if you have the fe5 that is peach

8:34 pm

gapeach

Got it.....thanks y'all.

8:34 pm

lilliann

pl the fe6 pen

8:35 pm

lilliann

fe5/8and 6 are all go off the same word

8:35 pm

uusue2

the fe8 is also an unusual plural of the fe6 (or at least looks like it)

8:35 pm

lilliann

yw peach

8:35 pm

penquis

ah...thought that was an adjective...didn't think to pluralize it....

8:42 pm

penquis

down to 28....very slow going....

8:42 pm

lilliann

tell me about it pen

8:43 pm

lilliann

can i have a clue for the el7 please

8:43 pm

wht

Kin, without the first letter.

8:44 pm

Jillyjill

Had a very nice BBQ steak dinner but left myself enough calories for a very tall G&T later....LOL...now to tackle this bad boy again!

Or, as Einstein would say, it is all r*******

Jillyjill

8:46 pm

penquis

8:47 pm

lilliann

i'm actually looking for that myself at the moment pen

8:47 pm

penquis

hope you have better luck than i have had...

8:47 pm

Jillyjill

et+mineral and vit***** supplements

8:48 pm

lilliann

ty jill

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

now strugglling with the in's

8:48 pm

penquis

the mineral is after the et??

8:49 pm

lilliann

pen it's the vi word after the et as in healthy tablets

8:49 pm

Jillyjill

that is the clue to finish the second word and give you the ending to the et

8:50 pm

penquis

ah....thanks....got it....

8:51 pm

lilliann

jill was also giving us the vi8/60 clue i think

8:52 pm

lilliann

ty jill for that even though i have the vi7/8 words

8:52 pm

Jillyjill

Had forgotten about that...dangerously close to PB...

8:53 pm

lilliann

no, you were alright and plus there is still cake from my party last night :)

8:53 pm

lilliann

and it's low fat chocolate cake..lol

8:54 pm

penquis

what about the first di 5/14?

8:55 pm

Jillyjill

Good, this has been a particularily rough day even after getting home. The American health care system...grrrr. Just because my husbands previously generic medication is now only made by one company; that makes it nongeneric in the eyes of insurance and we have to pay for it. Wish I wasn't so old and no other country would allow me to immigrate...

8:55 pm

Jillyjill

pl the 4 penquis

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

whoops....wrong di 5....think of a little song a cute little "di***

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

8:56 pm

lilliann

di5 is di and when someone goes to heaven

8:56 pm

lilliann

and pl

8:57 pm

penquis

ty....

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

and now with my lousy clueing I am going to go into a fe5/16 position, suck my thumb and babble....

8:57 pm

lilliann

that sucks jill.the insurance companies always get without paying somehow

8:59 pm

lilliann

jill, no-one sucks at clueing.we all think differently and i'm happy to get any clue whether i understand it or not.so get up from the fe position and play along with us and ask for clues if needed

8:59 pm

Jillyjill

We so need a single payer system. The solution to no longer being able to make $$ once a med goes generic, the pharmacuetical companies just quit making them...

8:59 pm

Jillyjill

<---verging close to a pity party....LOL...will snap out of it now!

9:00 pm

penquis

anyone have the second di 5/12?

9:00 pm

lilliann

so many people complain about the nhs here but we are alot luckier than alot of countries and the charges might be high for our prescriptions but it stops people from wasting tablets

9:00 pm

gapeach

di5-14 the 1st.....I need help please. Thanks

9:01 pm

Jillyjill

di5/12=chemical compound

9:01 pm

9:04 pm

lilliann

or di and we pass away

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

hubby's are, he is also on another Alzheimers med that is not generic and runs us over $400 a month

9:05 pm

Jillyjill

I have received advice to divorce him (obviously a sham divorce) and then he could go on his own for insurance

9:07 pm

lilliann

omg, that is alot jilly and you can't get help for that now then as your insurance won't pay it

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear this, jili. tough one. i had a friend who also considered divorce so she could get medicaid for her large medical needs

9:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

amd now to bed. happy bannling to all

9:08 pm

Jillyjill

Yup...and I pay over $800/month for the insurance coverage I do have...like I said, the US health care system is so screwed up.

9:08 pm

lilliann

we moan as we have to pay Â£7.65 for any prescription

9:08 pm

wht

9:08 pm

Jillyjill

9:19 pm

lilliann

of not carbon di7,

9:19 pm

penquis

ty...didn't try that....

9:20 pm

Jillyjill

Yes he is TO, just that for the last two + years, his med was made by three pharmacuetical companies, now just one and that then returns drug to nongeneric catagory

9:21 pm

lilliann

but why is that jill when 3 have made it before?

9:22 pm

lilliann

yw pen

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

Just some stupid bureaucratic rule...

9:22 pm

lilliann

well, it definitely needs changing

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:51 pm

melonheadjujube

phantom: italic

10:51 pm

Nef

jes; he either seems to be doing better or I've been too tired to notice (we've had the grandson for the past 5 days.)

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

hah. Well, here's hoping the answer is better :)

10:52 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks :)

10:52 pm

Lizlin

Hope he's doing better Nef - grandson might've helped!

10:52 pm

Nef

I just asked him, jes. He's still having slight dizziness when he first wakes in the AM

10:53 pm

gapeach

Congrats, Liz!!!!!!

10:54 pm

jesdraggon

yay liz!

10:54 pm

jesdraggon

that's better than throughout the day though. Glad he's improved :)

10:54 pm

gapeach

Dogs need to go out....bbl.

10:55 pm

Nef

actually, when he first sits up in the AM; then it goes away. Tomorrow he'll do BP's before he gets out of bed and then after he sits up and (hopefully) we may know something then. (I'm really thinking he just needs more fluid intake)

10:56 pm

jesdraggon

don't we all? I certainly don't drink as much as I'm supposed to....

10:57 pm

Cathyar

Hi all...can I have a clue for the 2nd de7/32 please?

10:59 pm

jesdraggon

i have only one - plural, "the devil is in the de*****"

11:00 pm

Cathyar

I think I have that one...think that's the 3rd de7/32.

11:04 pm

jesdraggon

how about de7/32 members of a pantheon?

11:05 pm

Cathyar

I think that's the first one jes.

11:06 pm

jesdraggon

well crap. i'm shooting to either side :)

11:06 pm

Cathyar

lol...no worries. ummm...I had to google pantheon. ;-)

11:06 pm

jesdraggon

I've got a de7/36 between those two...

11:07 pm

hokie carla

I have one relating to teeth.

11:07 pm

torgone

The second de7/32 is right after the gods ..

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, hokie :)

11:07 pm

Cathyar

no...it comes just after the pantheon one...and before the de6/21 that is part of your 7/36. if that makes sense.

11:08 pm

Cathyar

right...what tor said. lol

11:08 pm

jesdraggon

torg's the one to ask then :)

11:08 pm

hokie carla

11:09 pm

jesdraggon

11:09 pm

Cathyar

I think so hokie.

11:09 pm

I have one that is the plural of "it ain't just a river in Egypt"

11:09 pm

11:14 pm

Cathyar

11:16 pm

jesdraggon

11:16 pm
