1:44 pm

cameron51us

thank you, that was my last word. have been searching for over an hour. this game is so addictive.

1:45 pm

TraderKate

hahaha, congratulations cameron - do you know about more words to help you find the strange ones?

1:45 pm

MimiCat

Hi, everyone! Where is crossy today? I have good news....I have a real job finally. Doing radiology transcription at home for a service. This is what I've done most of the past 20 years. Hoping this will be an end to the big financial issues for me. Whew!!!

1:46 pm

TraderKate

hi mimi!
what fantastic news, i'm so happy for you!!!!!

1:46 pm

cameron51us

thank you. I'll try that next time and maybe my lawn will get lawned more often.

1:47 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, Kate!

1:47 pm

TraderKate

lawns can wait, babble cannot ;))

1:48 pm

TraderKate

so when do you start mimi?

1:48 pm

MimiCat

It is a part-time job, which is what I wanted, so combined with my retirement checks that start coming next month, I should be able to cover bills again without help from my wonderful friends and family. Hooray for independence!

1:48 pm

cameron51us

tell that to my neighbors who keep staring and shaking their heads

1:49 pm

TraderKate

<waves the flag of independence on mimi's behalf>
introduce them to babble, mwahhaahhaahhaa ;)

1:50 pm

hego

<---never knew Kate had an evil side.

1:50 pm

hego

And Congrats to Mimi.

1:50 pm

MimiCat

Very specific people in the Babble community....most of my friends and family simply wouldn't "fit." Their loss!

1:50 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, hego!

1:51 pm

TraderKate

hi hego :)
i think there is a very good mix of people in babble, makes for an interesting dalliance :))

1:51 pm

MimiCat

I saw a great recipe for lime/blackberry bars today and copied it but I'm going to make lemon/blueberry bars instead. If anyone wants the EASY recipe, em me at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and will gladly send. Good summer dessert.

1:51 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo mimi!

1:52 pm

hego

Hi JMC!

1:52 pm

jmcnrick

(you just found out about trader's evil side???)

1:52 pm

MimiCat

Yes, Kate, we're a mixed bunch certainly but we all share that one trait in common....loving word games.

1:52 pm

TraderKate

hi jmc :)
sounds delish mimi, letg me know how they turn out

1:52 pm

hego

lol JMC. I'm slow.

1:52 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, jmc! Now I'll start focusing on getting back into school and finishing my degree.

1:53 pm

TraderKate

<----- donning halo and trying her best to look sweet and innocent

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

go mimi go! i am so happy for you

1:53 pm

hego

You do a good job Kate.

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

*hands trader a dust cloth to polish the halo*

1:53 pm

TraderKate

what are you working toward mimi?

1:53 pm

MimiCat

A little "evil" is a wonderful thing....makes us interesting.

1:54 pm

TraderKate

are you saying my halo is tarnished??????
harumph!

1:54 pm

TraderKate

<------ trades in halo for tinfoil hat

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

you should look at community colleges mimi. . . a bargain! my boy spent his first two years there

1:54 pm

MimiCat

Bachelor's in Psychology (ultimately a Master's, too). My ex calls me going into Psychology "the blind leading the blind. Well...he may have a point, but that's also one reason he's my EX-husband!

1:54 pm

hego

I agree Mimi!

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

just dusty from lack of use trader. . . but i have always been a fan of tin foil hats

1:55 pm

jmcnrick

actually a lot of people originally with issue go into psychology to help other not go through what they went through. . .

1:56 pm

MimiCat

I only need a couple more courses to finish. Am planning to go back to online classes. Went to University of Phoenix and very impressed with the caliber of the coursework and the instructors.

1:56 pm

jmcnrick

(other like my thankfully ex bil are just plan nuts and want to look better than the people around them)

1:56 pm

jmcnrick

glad to hear that mimi

1:56 pm

TraderKate

i like your spunk mimi! don't let anyone put you off!
jmc is correct baout people who enter the field.

1:57 pm

MimiCat

Yes, jmc, that is certainly one of the reasons I want to be a therapist. I feel uniquely qualified not only to give advice but I have developed some coping and lifestyle techniques that I'd like to teach. It seems like such a luxury to spend the remaining years I have being able to help others.

1:58 pm

MimiCat

No worries, Kate....I'm like a pitbull with a bone once I get focused!

1:59 pm

jmcnrick

how nice. . . i knew you were a sweety

1:59 pm

MimiCat

It's also one field where my age works FOR me instead of against me.....experience and wisdom are good traits for a therapist.

2:00 pm

TraderKate

it sounds like your future is bright, mimi. i think you will make an excellent therapist... and you can always practice on us babblers ;) bbs

2:00 pm

jmcnrick

yeah is not working so well for me these days. . . you'd think wisdom would count in political analysis. . .

2:00 pm

MimiCat

I'm better equipped to do therapy now than when I was younger also because I am now more fatalistic in my attitude. I know there's only so much I can do and the rest is up to them. When I did paraprofessional counseling in my 20's, I would fret over people way too much....that can eat you up and leave you empty.

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

*hops on leaning couch*

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

shall i start with my childhood? ;-)

2:01 pm

MimiCat

You have my em address, jmc....ANY time!

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

nothing wrong with me that a job wouldn't cure. . . or a second REALLY big donor for my org! haha

2:03 pm

MimiCat

Though I need to make some money doing therapy, am really hoping to volunteer with the police and other agencies to help people in crisis....especially focused on domestic abuse. I want to be the person the police call at 2 in the morning when someone needs support.

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

*grabs trader's halo, polishes it and puts it on mimi*

2:03 pm

MimiCat

So---with work, school, writing the book and my other interests, my plate will be totally full....just how I like it!

2:04 pm

MimiCat

Oh, no, jmc...no halo for me!! Lots of skeletons in my closet!

2:05 pm

jmcnrick

that makes the best kind of saints. . . ones with skeletons! no boneless saints for me

2:05 pm

MimiCat

And since life is about balance, even though I am a really nice person on one hand, I can be a totally snarky bitch on the other hand!

2:05 pm

jmcnrick

perfect!

2:06 pm

MimiCat

I decided a few years back that at this age I have reached my "crap quota" am simply not taking any more!

2:07 pm

jmcnrick

Uneaixoise

i love it soooo much -- i've met so many wonderful dogs AND people

4:44 pm

lilliann

hi jmc:)

4:45 pm

lilliann

i did go to the rspca near us and said i would be happy to foster cats but they said they had enough people

4:46 pm

Uneaixoise

wow -- here they're ALWAYS looking for fosters . . .

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

for cats? really? they are always offing cats here because there are not enough homes. . .

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

that is why i have my cat. . . she was a foundling and the camp was going to take her to the shelter which is pretty much a death sentence for a cat

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

so even though i really didn't want a cat on top of being a single mother and running a law firm i took her. . .

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

that was about 16 years ago. . .

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

nbt (finally)

4:49 pm

smores

back again...had to take a call

4:50 pm

lilliann

i've always got my cats from shelters.it would be good for me and the bairn if we could foster, but we don't put down animals here now if they're rehomed

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

Congrats Mimi

8:50 pm

MimiCat

That is what I've done for most of the last 30 years but voice recognition technology has phased out the job in most places. This one is great because it is part-time, at home, so it doesn't conflict with my retirement check which starts next month. Things are FINALLY looking up after a VERY long and difficult time....now I know how strong I really am!

8:50 pm

uusue2

that is really great, mimi! I am so happy for you!

8:51 pm

MimiCat

And since I'm working at home I can deduct part of my home expenses. So glad I was able to keep faith and know things would eventually turn around.

8:52 pm

MimiCat

The bad part is that the main doctor they want me to transcribe is the WORST I have EVER heard in 30 years!

8:52 pm

MimiCat

But that just presents me with a challenge!

8:52 pm

gapeach

Oh, my goodness, Mimi. That sounds wonderful!

8:52 pm

Probably why voice recognition doesn't work for him :-)

ha, so maybe the voice recognition software doesn't work!

8:53 pm

uusue2

snap, tabby!

8:54 pm

MimiCat

I actually don't like transcribing but it pays well and I'm very good at it, so..... It's a woman and she talks faster than I thought humanly possible....nearly indecipherable...but I'm GOOD and I'll catch on. Her medical group already tried 3 other services and were told they didn't want to do their work anymore because of her! No....no chance for voice recognition...unless they have some sort of "alien" program!

8:55 pm

tabbycat

Does she also have an accent? Some of our doctors were hard to understand because of that

8:55 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo uu!

8:56 pm

uusue2

hi jmc!

8:56 pm

MimiCat

No, she's American. But I've transcribed doctors from all over the world working in acute care and they can be very challenging.....she's worse!

8:56 pm

MimiCat

Yay, sue!

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

can you slow down the tape/mp3? i had a computer program that would do that when i was transcribing.

8:56 pm

gapeach

Congrats, sue!!!!!!

8:57 pm

gapeach

Mimi, I just looked at your pictures....darling animals.

8:57 pm

MimiCat

Yes, but that only helps a bit. She talks fast in the way where she also kind of runs words into each other....hard to describe.

8:57 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, peach...not mine, though. I'm going to post pictures of my grandsons one of these days.....they are adorable even though they look SO much like ME!

8:58 pm

gapeach

Oh, please do.

8:59 pm

MimiCat

Peach, are you in Georgia? My best friend lives in Woodstock and she said it was pouring there today. I told her to stop teasing me....can't even remember the last time we had rain in Phoenix.

9:00 pm

gapeach

Mini, do the other doctors know of the problem? Perhaps, well, you may do just fine with her....but if not....maybe one of them might ask her to slow down a bit.

9:01 pm

MimiCat

I do know others have tried to talk to her but she's also not the most "amenable to suggestion." Since I'm brand new, I just have to muddle through. The lady who hired me and owns the service wanted me to listen to her before I accepted the job to know what I was in for before I said I'd take the job!

9:01 pm

gapeach

Yes, I am still here. We had a storm about 2:30 this afternoon and a very black cloud came about an hour ago.....some wind and lightening with it but no rain.

9:01 pm

MimiCat

That's the bad part about working for a service...you never develop a relationship with the doctors. I'd much rather work in a hospital or private practice where a rapport can develop.

9:03 pm

MimiCat

I am SO ENVIOUS, peach! Just really hot and dry here now until September....maybe monsoon beginning of July but maybe not....it has been very bad here....we're in a 10-year drought. I cannot wait until next year when I'm hoping to move either up into the mountains or back to northern California....hey, I may be close to ruru!

9:03 pm

tabbycat

Can you query the doctor to clarify if it's just too bad? It's so important for medical records to be accurate and clear.

9:03 pm

MimiCat

Speaking of Babble studmuffins, where has crossy been all day?

9:04 pm

MimiCat

My work will be reviewed by the lady who owns the service...she has gotten used to this woman but the volume is too much for her to keep up with by herself. I can't actually talk to any of the doctors...she would have to do it....protocol.

9:04 pm

gapeach

I understand. I have a friend (a case worker) who has a boss that makes her life( and the others in the office) hell. I feel very sorry for her....she still has a few more years before she can retire.

9:06 pm

tabbycat

As long as there is a process in place to clarify things, that's good.

9:06 pm

MimiCat

In the many years I've worked with doctors, I've learned how to "handle" the difficult ones and I simply will not tolerate lack of respect. I let them know that I am a professional, too, and should be treated as such. I also remind them that it is to their benefit to keep me (my accuracy rate is 99%) since I listen for content and keep them from getting sued when I find gross mistakes. I don't have the problems some others have because I draw that line firmly and demand respect.

9:08 pm

tabbycat

That's what you have to do. I had a doctor who was considered a bear and many were afraid of him. But I stood up and he respected that...ended up writing me a glowing letter of recommendation.

9:09 pm

MimiCat

I demonstrated my expertise once in a hospital where the x-ray report was going straight from me to surgery...caught a HUGE mistake. I told the doctor "This is what you said...but isn't this what you meant?" His eyes got very wide and he just said "OMG." He offered more pay and fewer hours when I told him I was leaving!

9:09 pm

welki

'evening, folks!

9:10 pm

uusue2

hi welki!

9:10 pm

MimiCat

I also worked years ago for a radiologist who pioneered MRI technology. Everyone was afraid of him but I wasn't...he was a perfectionist and so am I. So he started just bringing all his work to me! The other girls were happy and I was glad to work for such a genius.

9:10 pm

MimiCat

Hi, welki! I GOT A JOB!!

9:10 pm

welki

*pop* champagne for all!

9:11 pm

MimiCat

Am now working on martini #2...may be typing a bit strange henceforth!

9:11 pm

gapeach

Hi there, welki.

9:11 pm

welki

very happy for you, mimi - you've had a rough go of it and it's about time things turned around for you

9:11 pm

welki

hi peach

9:12 pm

tabbycat

That's great...kind of like the one I worked for. He is a workaholic, very bright and knows his coding. I showed him I knew my stuff too and am also hard working.

9:12 pm

MimiCat

Thank you, dear. This is such a great support system for me. Babble friends are the BEST!

9:13 pm

gapeach

Mimi, have you lived in Phoenix long?

9:13 pm

welki

sheesh - gotta run. g'night folks

9:13 pm

MimiCat

Oh, I found a recipe for lime/blackberry bars that I'm switching to lemon/blueberry bars if anyone wants the recipe. Just em me at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and will happily send...great summer dessert.

9:14 pm

MimiCat

You just got here, welki! OK...bye, dear.

9:14 pm

gapeach

Sweet dreams, welki.

9:15 pm

MimiCat

I've been in Phoenix for most of the past 33 years, with two moves to Michigan and one to Irvine, CA wedged in. Let's just say I've gotten all I can out of the experience........ It's a desert both geographically and politically.

9:16 pm

MimiCat

I lived in Atlanta for 4 years in the early 70's when things were just getting exciting there. Sang in clubs in the original Underground....so much fun.

9:17 pm

MimiCat

Sue, are you still here? Don't mean to leave you out!

9:17 pm

gapeach

I have a cousin who owns a motel there and one in San Diego.....I don't know the name of it tho. I met my biological people late in life.....was brought up by elderly foster parents.

9:18 pm

uusue2

yes, I'm here, multitasking a bit but following the chat

9:19 pm

MimiCat

Peach, we have so much in common. I met my biological mother when I was 22. I was adopted by my paternal grandmother and her 4th husband and raised with my biological father as my brother....yeah, kind of makes one's head explode thinking about it. I'm my own aunt and my own sister!

9:19 pm

gapeach

Oh, I forgot all about finishing this grid....LOL I have 2 left al5-10 the 3rd and an5-10 please....thanks

9:19 pm

Cathyar

ok...I'm confused here. I'm looking at the grid and adding up letter values and it does not look possible to me to make a ca4/10. can someone tell me what I'm missing?

9:20 pm

uusue2

al5/10 = a + tardy

9:20 pm

uusue2

you are missing the high point tile in the lower left corner, cathyar

9:20 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, sue.

9:20 pm

bubba218

an +***tric light

9:20 pm

uusue2

an5/10 = an + scrambled snaky fish

9:21 pm

Cathyar

hmm...wow. thanks sue.

9:21 pm

Cathyar

new word to me. must google it. lol

9:22 pm

MimiCat

Where do these words come from and why do I not know most of them?! Always considered myself to have a great vocabulary until playing this game....humbling.

9:22 pm

Cathyar

same Mimi...lol

9:22 pm

gapeach

That was it, sue. Hope we get a more interesting grid next.

9:22 pm

MimiCat

And my given name is Cathy, dear!

9:22 pm

uusue2

I'm with you, mimi!!

9:23 pm

uusue2

yay peach!

9:24 pm

Cathyar

:-)

9:24 pm

MimiCat

Sue, finally the AZ legislature changed our Medicaid and I can get benefits as of July 1. I need to get my health under control so I can be the dynamic, amazing woman I used to be!

9:24 pm

uusue2

you go, mimi!

9:24 pm

gapeach

Speaking of upbringing....do y'all remember the old country song, "I'm my own grandpa"? That is kind of like our situations, isn't it?

9:25 pm

MimiCat

I am determined to get back on stage and sing classic rock music again!

9:25 pm

MimiCat

All I can say, peach, is read my book when it's published....you'll relate BIG time.

9:26 pm

gapeach

Well, please record your songs....I know our Babblers would love to hear you.

9:26 pm

gapeach

Are you writing, for real?

9:26 pm

MimiCat

Next year when my lawsuit settles and I, hopefully, have some money, I want to organize meets for Babblers....you are all such amazing people...I want to meet you!

9:27 pm

gapeach

That would be lovely.

9:28 pm

gapeach

We do have many wonderful people here.

9:28 pm

MimiCat

Yes, peach, I'm a work in progress. Sprite helped me realize I should just write and not try to organize until later. That opened it up for me. I have had such an amazingly eventful life but what I want to stress is that spiritual development is the most important thing we have to do here in this life. If they ever want to turn the book into film, they'll need to do a two-part miniseries rather than a movie....oh, the life I've lead!

9:29 pm

dan2bit

evening all!

9:29 pm

uusue2

I am looking forward to reading your book, mimi, and also to meeting you - I love meeting babblers!

9:29 pm

MimiCat

Hi, dan!

9:29 pm

gapeach

It's very comforting to me to know that I can talk with someone who really "cares" 24/7.

9:30 pm

Cathyar

Hi Dan.

9:30 pm

MimiCat

I feel so blessed to have found this site and this wonderful community. And, peach, you know I am here for you ANY time...and also by em.

9:30 pm

Hey there, dan.

mymuseisme

Hi Babblers! Hi Cathy!

9:32 pm

Thank you Mimi and the same goes for you and anyone who needs someone to listen. Sometimes, listening can be all a person needs.

9:32 pm

maggiej

10:07 pm

Cathyar

oops...uses the highest point letter.

10:07 pm

Cathyar

10:08 pm

Cathyar

there is only one route to get to the highest point letter from the ca 4/10

10:08 pm

maggiej

Cathyar

welcome.

10:12 pm

Cathyar

2nd ch7/36 (which I just found) is ch 5/14 before it, but remove the last vowel, then two vowels and a consonant.

10:14 pm

Cathyar

apparently it is a term used in embryology.

10:14 pm

maggiej

ty

10:14 pm

Cathyar

I'm stuck on the 2nd ch5/14

10:15 pm

Cathyar

just found it.

10:17 pm

maggiej

change the last letter of 5/16 to a circular vowel

10:18 pm

welcome maggie. night night.

10:19 pm

Cathyar

thanks to you too!

10:19 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams maggie!

10:19 pm

stidmama

how are you doing, cathy?

10:19 pm

stidmama

have been thinking about you a good bit

10:19 pm

Cathyar

I'm doing ok stid...how are you?

10:21 pm

stidmama

"okay" but not great today -- having a series of difficult and impossible-to-resolve things surrounding house and kids. You know the routine, just when you think you know what's going on, the floor gets removed from under the rug...

10:22 pm

stidmama

On the other hand, the most immediate needs are being met, and we'll get through this part too. AND I have tons of ripe strawberries in my garden. So any time you want to drop by for coffee, we can go pick those, too!

10:22 pm

Cathyar

Oh ya...I know what you mean.

10:22 pm

Cathyar

LOL...long trip for coffee and fresh berries! ;-) lol Would be nice though.

10:23 pm

stidmama

:-D someday, when we are both dripping with wealth (and time) we'll have to meet in the middle I think.

10:23 pm

Cathyar

I'm anxiously awaiting my first disability cheque...been a week since they processed it. I hate being late on bills.

10:24 pm

stidmama

I hear you. We have "just enough" I think to get by until we start getting some money from the insurance company for the things we lost. Meantime... There is a LOT that I have been having to replace and procure that I didn't expect. Going to have to switch to using the credit card for a short time until we have money in the bank again!

10:25 pm

stidmama

and on a happy note, I just grayed out both the top and bottom rows, so feel free to ask for clue from those!

10:26 pm

Cathyar

I am so sorry stid...I didn't even realize you had a fire till I read through some recent chogs here and on FB...then I put it all together. How awful for you all!

10:26 pm

Cathyar

I have been a bit self absorbed in recent months.

10:27 pm

Cathyar

Oh dear...stay away from credit as much as you can...the interest kills!

10:27 pm

Cathyar

brb...water

10:28 pm

Cathyar

back.

10:29 pm

Cathyar

I'm glad you are all ok, but so sorry to hear you lost your pets. :-(

10:31 pm

stidmama

that's okay cathy, it's not something I really bring up a lot, but I put it out there for those who care (like you) -- actually, I have to step out for a bit. back as soon as I can

10:32 pm

Cathyar

ok...see you soon.

10:37 pm

stidmama

back -- one more piece of bad news in an otherwise pretty crappy day (with bright spots) I think it's time for some wine.

10:40 pm

Cathyar

uh-oh. are you ok?

10:40 pm

stidmama

down to 35... and listing.

10:40 pm

Cathyar

26 left here...stuck on the ho4/5 of all things...one would think a 4/5 would be simple to monkey. lol

10:41 pm

stidmama

not really -- you can check the fb feed from me, I don't want to put this one in the chog. It's one more pestilence-filled excrementally awful piece of my crumbling reality.

10:41 pm

Cathyar

I will check now.

10:41 pm

stidmama

hm.... ho 4/5... like that thing with feathers that Emily Bronte wrote about?

10:42 pm

stidmama

I didn't have that word until you asked for it.

10:43 pm

Cathyar

Stid... maybe 2 glasses of wine so you will perhaps sleep tonight my dear. :-(

10:44 pm

stidmama

thanks cathy -- was thinking that might be the prudent approach. *sigh* I

10:44 pm

stidmama

I'll have Matthew sleeping on the sofa tonight, too. So Tom and I cannot really talk about "everything" the way we would otherwise.

10:45 pm

Cathyar

Yes, I saw that Matthew is home. Bless you my dear. You have had too much stress lately.

10:48 pm

stidmama

thinking maybe my name is really stressmama... *cross eyes* Other people seem to handle times like this so well -- I have been falling apart frequently this past week. And that's before today. We are "behind" in submitting one of the insurance claims, so it's going to take a while to get that bucket of money unlocked. And I know that they won't pay all of the money until they are sure the extra expenses have been accounted for. So.... *sigh* I get to practice patience it seems.

10:48 pm

stidmama

On the other hand, Cathy -- you are doing better I think? Even though you are waiting on that check, it seems when I see you online you are more upbeat that you were for a while. Or is it that I have been too self-absorbed?

10:49 pm

Cathyar

I wish there was more I could do to help you.

10:49 pm

stidmama

"listening" to me yammer on is actually helpful.

10:50 pm

stidmama

poor Tom already know what I am going to say! LOL

10:51 pm

Cathyar

I'm coming along I think. Blood pressure has lowered, but that is because I've not been working. Still so much to be done with mom's estate matters and so much work needing done on the house, dad's health is a worry...plus my own fears worries and phobias. I don't want to go back to work as soon as they want me to. (July 8 I think unless doctors say otherwise).

10:51 pm

Cathyar

You are lucky to have Tom, my friend. The support of a loving spouse means everything.

10:52 pm

Cathyar

You two have been through a lot together.

10:52 pm

stidmama

I "hear" you cathy ... I am glad the blood pressure is better, wish I could help with some of the little details and spare you some of the extra annoyance.

10:52 pm

uusue2

hi stid!

10:53 pm

Cathyar

It's not so much an annoyance...just difficult carrying all the load.

10:53 pm

stidmama

Sometimes it's the little things that make me the most irritated these days -- deal with tearing down the house? No biggie. Take care of changing the phone numbers? Heavily impactful.

10:53 pm

stidmama

hey sue/frank!

10:53 pm

Cathyar

I know...when lots of things are going on, the small stuff feels like it can break you.

10:53 pm

uusue2

boy, that is really true, stid! it's the little things that can really tear you up.

10:54 pm

stidmama

sue, are you on fb? I had a personal question...

10:54 pm

uusue2

I am, stid

10:55 pm

stidmama

okay, cathy, brb again

10:55 pm

Cathyar

np

11:03 pm

stidmama

okay, back-ish, going to multi-task a bit

11:04 pm

Cathyar

I'm just gridding along here. lol found a few more...21 left

11:04 pm

uusue2

I finished earlier so can clue

11:05 pm

stidmama

oooh. I was going to list, then I got distracted, and now the wine is starting to work... this could be an interesting hour!

11:05 pm

Cathyar

thanks sue...hy6?

11:05 pm

stidmama

31 now

11:05 pm

uusue2

hy6 is like the laughing animal but with an extra vowel in the middle

11:06 pm

stidmama

ah, great clue!

11:06 pm

Cathyar

ty sue!

11:07 pm

stidmama

just want to say publicly, that I am so grateful for all the love and support I get from my friends here (and in fb)... it makes really awful days like this manageable

11:08 pm

uusue2

((((stid)))) I have gotten through a lot of pretty awful days at least in part with help from my babble friends!

11:09 pm

stidmama

:-)

11:09 pm

Cathyar

I feel the same. without online friends things would be so much harder.

11:10 pm

torgone

Don't get too worried about how you "handle" extraordinary events in your life. People who know and love you will understand that things can change you or make you do things they didn't predict. They will also see that though you may change a bit, you are still the same person.

11:10 pm

stidmama

isn't it strange, though -- here we are, supposedly people from a generation too old to understand "virtual relationship" and all, and yet finding the support and community we need online.

11:10 pm

uusue2

hi torgone!

11:11 pm

stidmama

(((tor))) wise you are, oh man of mystery!

11:11 pm

uusue2

I don't usually worry about what people think about how I handle things, I just worry about getting to tomorrow in one piece

11:11 pm

stidmama

okay, "thirop" is NOT a wurd, but worth trying, since ALL toothless kids like pancakes!

11:12 pm

uusue2

I always laugh at the stereotypes of people my age not knowing about technology - I've been using computers since 1970!

11:12 pm

Cathyar

lol....

11:12 pm

uusue2

well, there are a couple of words that are pretty close to that, stid!

11:12 pm

uusue2

anyway, I am going to go put up tomorrow's icon and then go to bed

11:13 pm

stidmama

:-) thanks for stopping by, sue! love to frank and a bunch of choclits for you. (((hugs)))

11:14 pm

torgone

How you get through things is what makes you unique .. Sometimes you ace it, and sometimes you break down and cry or break something, but it is still you, and that's what you hang on to, and that's what close friends and loved ones will see and appreciate ..

11:14 pm

torgone

Anyhooooo ... Heyas kids!

11:14 pm

stidmama

ah, two ways to spell excellent olympic native american runner Jim's last name! :-)

11:15 pm

uusue2

heyas, torgone, hail and farewell!

11:15 pm

uusue2

See you all tomorrow...

11:15 pm

Cathyar

see you sue!

11:15 pm

torgone

Nitrous sue ..

11:16 pm

torgone

I too have been using computers since the early 70's and I'm still a n00b ..

11:17 pm

stidmama

LOL Tor -- hardly!

11:18 pm

stidmama

I am th 6/21-blind... need them both if possible?

11:19 pm

torgone

I have neither of those .. sorry, lost my will to finish this grid some time ago ..

11:21 pm

Cathyar

16 here....stuck on stupid 4-letter words even. lol

11:22 pm

stidmama

that's okay tor, I'll either find them in time or I won't. 15 now cathy. we should pool our (rapidly dwindling) resources. Man, this wine is working a little too well!
