ab 7

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

ab 7 was a new one for me...

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

ab7 is a psychoanalytic term. I think Melanie Klein used or even coined it.

12:43 am

jillibus

How about "The King's Breakfast"? "Could we have some butter for the royal slice of bread?"

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

When your tummy responds, be the men, and smell even more of sage things, however more suspicious. Eat in Pennsylvania, rather strangely, of that ruddy worm. In your daydreams, berated wrongly.

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

That's seven cryptic clues. Not my best, but I tried.

1:00 am

jillibus

1:02 am

RoundBarn

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

I grew up near a ravine, we played Phhsticks, too!

1:02 am

m9f9l

Nice!

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

Poohsticks. Sorry about my horrid typing.

1:03 am

m9f9l

I was kind of a loner.. reading that book when I was about 7

1:03 am

m9f9l

I still have that copy, and my MIL got me another.

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

Heffalumps!

1:03 am

Sadly, I have never played poohsticks.

1:03 am

1:04 am

RoundBarn

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

Not 7 clues as previously mentioned. I should just head to bed.

1:06 am

RoundBarn

when I was 7 I was prepared to sing Chr Robin is Saying his prayers in a church program--Mom had a book of songs--and somehow I got missed, never got to sing it. I've never forgotten that.

1:06 am

m9f9l

I like the one about imagination with the chair. And about that spot on the stairs...

1:07 am

m9f9l

Aww Barn! Poor little thing! :-)

1:07 am

RoundBarn

the stairs one is pretty profound--in between spaces are important to kids--to adults too if they'd realize it

1:07 am

m9f9l

And the one about manners.

1:07 am

RoundBarn

Rice puddling--

1:08 am

m9f9l

But it's LOVELY rice pudding!

1:08 am

RoundBarn

but I should be in bed--if I wait for the flip i'm tired tomorrow.

1:08 am

m9f9l

I always laugh at the four friends one, that snail...

1:09 am

RoundBarn

and we're getting into goops--do you know them? who lead disgusting lives?

1:10 am

RoundBarn

i could talk for an hour--i better get to bed, copy down your m9 name and talk again. Good night.

1:10 am

m9f9l

nite

1:11 am

RoundBarn

ite!

1:12 am

m9f9l

(I'm now listening to Robin the frog on the Muppets singing halfway down the stairs)

1:12 am

RoundBarn

well i'll say one thing more--something really nice happened today--I got a splendid review in Agricultural History, by a U of I professor. Utterly unespected. Goodnight.

1:13 am

RoundBarn

1:30 am

m9f9l

interesting! I used to eat brewer's yeast on popcorn.

moonwoof

I figured it out because I changed vitamins, actually.

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

1:30 am

moonwoof

and Ive always drank things like tang or sunny delight.

1:30 am

m9f9l

I was told that many folks are allergic to brewer's yeast...

1:31 am

m9f9l

And then did you test that hypothesis?LOL

1:31 am

moonwoof

But I had fresh squeezed orange juice for the first time in a long time (I could finally afford it, really) and I got hives

1:32 am

moonwoof

Ive known that one for years, actually.

1:32 am

m9f9l

Ah! I think a lot of people are allergic to citric

1:32 am

moonwoof

But yea I did. Ive tested it pretty extensively, even. Organic acids of all kinds are awful for me.

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

so what were you allergic to, moon (in the oj)??

1:32 am

m9f9l

Probably the oils in the rind?

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

1:33 am

moonwoof

Yup. My doctors have thought so too. And many are allergic to yeasts, dee.

1:34 am

moonwoof

Its very similar to the grain allergy. My business partner can only eat flat breads

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

I am finding more and more allergens... frustrating. ... MSG is a definite no, no for me

1:34 am

moonwoof

every time she eats yeasts or risen breads she gets cold sores and indigestion.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

awww poor thing

1:35 am

m9f9l

I was just reading something that said that in the Catholic church, the bread can not be gluten free for the eucharist

1:35 am

moonwoof

My newest allergy is bees, sadly. Only found out about that last year.

1:35 am

m9f9l

Wow.

1:36 am

m9f9l

so do you have to carry an epipen?

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

wonder why m9

1:36 am

moonwoof

I do now, yea

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

my brother has that one, moon... you really should carry an epipen

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

snap m9

1:36 am

moonwoof

I would wager that depends on the church, m. The recipe for communal bread when I was an alter-girl didnt have flour

1:37 am

moonwoof

I fully admit I dont know *everything* that contains gluten... but I still wager that there are alternatives.

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

I have a good friend who published a gluten free cookbook ... Stephanie Hapner

1:38 am

m9f9l

Oh yes, gluten free communion wafers are made, but apparently they don't meet vatican standards.

1:39 am

moonwoof

It was always my impression it was much more about the blessing and the thought/symbolism.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

interesting... I don't think the Episcopal church is that strict

1:40 am

moonwoof

Well I wager that they'll likely change that soon enuf. I know the vatican is stubborn, but that's a rediculous requirement.

1:41 am

m9f9l

Again.. depends on the church.LOL We use water.

1:41 am

m9f9l

And in the Catholic church, it's not just symbolism.

1:41 am

moonwoof

And by it's very definition episcopalians arent as strict. I dont think they follow the vatican.

1:42 am

m9f9l

They believe in transubstantiation

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

can you clue the re 6/30 again, please?

1:42 am

moonwoof

I havent studied, nor kept up with religion as a whole, but Im sure the church of england is still seperate.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

you are correct, moon, they don't

1:42 am

m9f9l

I don't have one.

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

ty ... looking for it

1:43 am

moonwoof

I understand the transubstantiation aspect... but I fail to see some priests really enforcing that, if it would harm thier parish.

1:43 am

m9f9l

I have a 33

1:43 am

m9f9l

and a 27 but nothing in between

1:45 am

moonwoof

the re6/30 is a cure.

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

ty moon!

1:45 am

m9f9l

thanks!

1:45 am

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

1:47 am

moonwoof

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

Biltong

Hello:) Could I have a clue for the lone a at the bottom of the second column, please?

1:50 am

moonwoof

evening bil. Im bad at this, but gimme a mo to see if I can get the right a word, this time

1:51 am

moonwoof

that a should be ac4 which is pretending plus a vowel

1:51 am

Biltong

Hi moon, ty

1:52 am

Dianne

1:53 am

moonwoof

its a good clue. Its prolly just off another a =)

1:53 am

Dianne

it's ae5 - same clue

1:55 am

moonwoof

for the ai5 that's close, you can say that in that nest it's a lot ai5 (windy and open) than one in a forest

1:56 am

Biltong

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

2:58 am

grannyrose

josh!!! how are you, buddy?

2:59 am

joshuavorbis

doing fairly well, and yourself?

3:00 am

grannyrose

doing well today. have spent the day out with a dear friend, lunch, op shops and some desperately needed shopping which i could not do with himself in tow...

3:01 am

joshuavorbis

sounds like a celebratory beverage is in order

3:02 am

joshuavorbis

i am still stuck on asia time so i'm awake at night and asleep during the afternoon until i get it sorted

3:02 am

grannyrose

josh, only fairly well?? what's up, mate? already there...scotch on ice at hand

3:02 am

joshuavorbis

i have a mild habit of understatement granny, nothing to worry

3:03 am

grannyrose

josh, do you not have access to melatonin tabs. they reset your body-clock.

3:04 am

joshuavorbis

i prefer to do it the hard way, gives me a few days of productive time while no one else is awake

3:04 am

grannyrose

when my sons, when they travel, they carry melatonin tabs with them. on their return trip home, they take the tabs so that their body-clockes reset, according to the destination time.

3:06 am

grannyrose

good point, josh. there certainly is something to be said for being awake and working, when everyone else is asleep. no interruptions !!

3:06 am

joshuavorbis

yes, it will be best if i can write off doing the grid as working

3:08 am

grannyrose

*giggle* oh, really? i have always thought of it as working...enhancing my vocabulary is terribly important for work...right?

3:09 am

joshuavorbis

that's the ticket

3:11 am

joshuavorbis

speaking of, this grid is a bit sticky, isn't it

3:15 am

grannyrose

keep plugging at it, josh. it's not too bad.

3:16 am

joshuavorbis

i've got it down to 10, just a bit out of practice i guess

3:17 am

grannyrose

nice job, josh...you're doing well

3:19 am

sprite

good morning all

3:23 am

grannyrose

g'day spritey

3:24 am

sprite

hiya rose *hugs*
My husband is in hospital since yesterday.

3:30 am

grannyrose

awww, sprite...is it something major?

3:31 am

sprite

we don't know yet. It looked like a hernia, but his symptoms are atypical for everything they can come up with. He is in severe pain. We are waiting for the MRI scan.

3:32 am

grannyrose

acckkk!! not good, sprite.

3:32 am

sprite

they started him on oxycodon day before yesterday, then oxynorm, and he just texted me they have upped it again, I don't know yet to what.

3:34 am

sprite

blood was good, urine was clear, X-ray showed nothing but a scoliosis (sp). They kind of hope that that is where the pain is coming from (severe leg pain) even though he doesn't really have pain in the back.

3:36 am

grannyrose

hmmm, pinched ne5 from the scoliosis? going down the sciatic ne5...

3:37 am

marigold

at

3:37 am

grannyrose

hey up marigold

3:37 am

sprite

oh and it is no aneurysm. Rose... this may be a stupid question but I worry so much... if the blood is good, heartbeat steady, they can find the pulse everywhere... it can't be something major, can it?

3:38 am

sprite

that is what they are hoping to find, rose. If that is it, they can help him.

3:39 am

grannyrose

only if it's a pinched ne5 from the scoliosis...i do so hope you have access to a good neuro surgeon

3:39 am

marigold

hi everyone

3:39 am

sprite

they said if it is that, they will call in the pain team and they will give an injection to 'kill' the nerve.

3:39 am

sprite

hiya marigold

3:41 am

grannyrose

noooo, call in a neurologist surgeon...sprite insist on it...he will know immediately if spinal surgery is needed.

3:41 am

sprite

ok. Will do!

3:42 am

grannyrose

ask for a second opinion, dear. and stand firm. it is absolutely imperative you have a neuro surgeon's opinion.

3:42 am

sprite

ok, I will remember that.

3:43 am

grannyrose

if the scoliosis is collapsing..a pinched ne5 is quite on the cards. poor man...he must be in so much pain...

3:44 am

grannyrose

then, you MUST acknowledge that the final decision is his. and that will be the hardest thing to bear, dear

3:44 am

sprite

he is. Can't hold still for a second, desperation rules. And nothing I could do for him he4. He texted me last night the pain was less thanks to the meds. But I think he had a bad night, or they wouldn't have upped it again.

3:45 am

sprite

argh yes, you are so right. I will respect his wishes though. We always do, that is how our relation works.

3:45 am

grannyrose

good for you, sprite. it so hard to bite your tongue, and let them make the final decision.

3:46 am

grannyrose

AND never say, ' i told you, so'

3:46 am

sprite

so true. I am like a lioness when one of my loved ones is in hospital. Have to bite my tongue the whole time. If I had my way, I'd sit by their side all the time and everything would go through me.

3:47 am

sprite

I told you so is a killer. For almost every kind of relationship. Even if... we told them so.

3:48 am

grannyrose

*giggle* yeah, sweetie.

3:49 am

grannyrose

with my himself, i simply lay out all the choices...let him decide...and if he can't, together we weigh up the pros and cons.

3:50 am

sprite

yeah, that is about how we do things here too.

3:50 am

sprite

new babble dictionary word: debatic - inclined to argue

3:56 am

grannyrose

sprite??i have to ask...have you been noticing the political jinks happening over he4?

3:56 am

sprite

rose, just heard they are transfering him to neurology, they still don't know what it is but he had another helluva night, so much pain, and they think it must be neurological. So that ne5 issue is likely.

3:57 am

sprite

not at all, rose, I am so sorry. What's up?

3:57 am

grannyrose

aha...let's hear it for the nursing profession...

3:58 am

sprite

nurses keep the hospital in working order.

3:58 am

grannyrose

not to worry, sprite. when you are not so concerned for himself...

3:59 am

sprite

please tell me, rose, I bet I can use the distraction ;) And besides, I am always interested in what concerns you.

3:59 am

grannyrose

mother mac says living with me is like having a doctor on tap...lol

3:59 am

sprite

oh I bet. You know so much.

4:01 am

grannyrose

sprite. our prime minister, julia guillard, used some extremely underhanded tactics to oust our former prime minister...now the tables have turned, and our old prime minister is now back in...

4:02 am

sprite

argh! And are you happy to have the old one back?

4:02 am

grannyrose

both these peeps belong to the labor party...

4:02 am

grannyrose

well, kevin rudd is infinitely preferable to julia.

4:03 am

sprite

painful :(
But glad the bad girl is out.

4:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, she is such a bi***. mind you, kevin can be led by his nose.....is there such a thing as a good politician?

4:05 am

sprite

nowadays, I'd say no... a contradictio in terminis. All politicians seem to tell lies and to be power hungry.

4:06 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...so true.

4:07 am

sprite

my eternal problem at voting time... how to choose between liars. But that is the price for living in a democracy, I guess... which beats the hell out of other forms.

4:11 am

grannyrose

sprite!! it was our wedding anniversary the other day...we were both so sick, we completely forgot the date...the next day, himself came out with a bag from a very expensive jeweller. it contained a beautiful pendant of indian sapphire and diamonds on a gold chain, and the matching earrings. *sigh*..he said it was time i had real indian sapphires, since the rings he bought me years ago.

4:12 am

sprite

ohhhhh rose how romantic!

4:16 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, hun. nothing makes a woman feel exclusive like diamonds and the stone of her choice.!!!

4:25 am

sprite

Rose, this is my choice:
http://tinyurl.com/cpht6bp

4:26 am

sprite

a fire opal which is mainly brown/gold, with some of the green and purple highlights. I don't own one!

4:27 am

sprite

btw, can you explain why beermen is not valid? I know several.

4:27 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, sprite...loove your choice, hun

4:27 am

grannyrose

rofl, sprite, so can i....

4:29 am

grannyrose

i think dinner is on the way...cyl8r...xoxox sprite

4:30 am

sprite

bye rose, enjoy dinner *hugs*

4:31 am

grannyrose

sprite, do so hope himself is feeling better very soon. i think he is in the right place...

4:32 am

sprite

just spoke to him on the phone, he slept half of the night, then they had to move him and he spent the rest in agony. They gave him 6 different kind of pain killers so far. The one he is on now seems to work... he doesn't know and doesn't care what it is. I'll ask when I go visit :)

4:52 am

lynxxx

Sprite?

4:52 am

4:56 am

lynxxx

PS very sad about our ousted Prime Minister...she was a brave and terrific woman who achieved a lot in a short time - sadly I think she will leave politicsforever. Our loss.

4:56 am

sprite

rose said she used underhanded tactics to oust the old prime minister?

4:59 am

lynxxx

No - the party was very dissatisfied with his way of operating (he was very non-inclusive) - we can only hope he learnt his lesson. (a leopard can't change his spots in my opinion)

5:00 am

sprite

as they say in dutch: you'll never teach a cuckoo's clock to say bim bam.

5:02 am

How is your new King(?) behaving himself?

5:03 am

Hiya Mimi, just thinking about you.

8:26 am

hego

Realized I hadn't seen you in a while.

8:26 am

MimiCat

That's nice, hego.

8:30 am

MimiCat

I pop in occasionally before or after work. After transcribing, though, the last thing I want to do is type on the computer!

8:31 am

hego

understandable

8:31 am

Judi

I hear that, mimi. Transcription sucks. Gotta get some Dragon sofware.

8:35 am

hego

vowels, yuck

8:36 am

MimiCat

The "alien chipmunk" dr. is so trying on me...never in my life heard anyone talk like that...don't know how she got through med school and her training in dictation for her radiology course.

8:36 am

MimiCat

Thank goodness she's only half my work.

8:37 am

crosshair

type it as it sounds for a while and maybe she will make more effort with her enunciations

8:38 am

hego

good idea Crossy

8:38 am

MimiCat

Wish I could, crossy, but my boss would fire me...besides, she's going over all that dr.'s work and is fixing the stuff I can't understand until I get "used" to her...I should live so long!

8:38 am

Judi

Medical transcription = nightmare.

8:39 am

crosshair

if all her letters go out sounding like a disney cartoon character it may help:)

8:40 am

Judi

Do doctors really have "dictation" training? I doubt it.

8:40 am

crosshair

"all hail me the mighty chipmunk doctor! all bow and adapt to me!" lol

8:40 am

MimiCat

If it was up to me, I would have a talk with her and really let her know how difficult she is and if she didn't at least try to do better, I'd charge her double! The group she is in already lost 3 other services because she was too much trouble.

8:40 am

hego

I don't think so Judi.

8:41 am

crosshair

has anyone asked her to speak more clearly ?? even mentioned it to her just once??

8:41 am

MimiCat

Yes, Judi, when you train in radiology you do take a course in dictation since that is such an integral part of what they do...the reports need to be correct. You'd think this woman would try harder to be understood, right?

8:42 am

hurshy

crazy

8:42 am

hego

You'd think.

8:42 am

Hi Hursh

8:42 am

Judi

Either this doctor is arrogant as hell or she has no idea how she sounds on tape.

8:42 am

hurshy

hi

8:42 am

MimiCat

She has been spoken to but to no avail. Now my boss has been offered much more work from "normal" drs. but doesn't have enough of us to do the work. I told her if she'd cut this group, she would have us available for more work and, thus, more money coming in...we'll see.

8:43 am

my son was real lazy with his speech in his early teen,he would slur everything through what sounded like a mouth full of spit.i just ignored him till he made the ffort to speak more clearly and it stopped

I can't stand not being able to understand doctors/health professionals. I refuse to put up with them. I will ask for a different doctor - one I can understand.

i do the same judi.when i am on a tech support line,it drive me nuts when the computer asks if you want it in english or not,then connects you with someone for whom english is their 3rd or 4 language

8:46 am

MimiCat

Judi, that's the disadvantage working for a service in another city...I never have contact with the docs. Otherwise, I could discuss this and work it out. But it's my boss' business and her option to do so. I'm just the hired help.

8:47 am

jmcnrick

i would give the doctor back her tapes each time and say that "sorry but I couldn't understand you, please re-dictate it where i can understand you" do that enough times and she would eventually improve

8:47 am

Judi

Infuriating when that happens. I tell them straight up, "I can't understand a word you're saying. Can you connect me with someone who doesn't have a foreign accent?" Tough shit for them.

8:47 am

jmcnrick

hi o-o

8:47 am

hurshy

i've gotten people i believe (based on their names) are in india on amazon support chat 3 times recently and they've all been wonderful - so i guess amazon gets all the good ones.

8:47 am

hurshy

then again that's typing so you don't have to hear the accent.

8:47 am

MimiCat

Crossy, you'll love this story. When I was having trouble with my internet provider I had to keep calling tech support over and over for nearly a month. On one of those calls where I told the tech person my internet was out, she told me next time it went out to go to www.....hello, if it's out, I can't go to www anything, duh!

8:48 am

crosshair

hehe

8:48 am

Judi

Bi6/27? Anyone? Anyone?

8:48 am

jmcnrick

it varies. . . sometime no accent doesn't mean understanding of english. . .

8:48 am

hurshy

it was just clued

8:49 am

MimiCat

I once had a doctor who would take his little dictation device into the bathroom with him and dictate WHILE HE PEED!! Sooo "entertaining."

8:49 am

jmcnrick

hehehe

8:49 am

crosshair

the big companies are learning though.more and more they are finding it is easier to help their english speaking costomers with tech people who actually speak english!! what a revelation!!

8:49 am

Judi

LOL, mimi. Clueless!

8:49 am

MimiCat

This dr. I'm having trouble with is American and she's worse than any foreign doctor with any accent I've ever transcribed.

I hate it when people talk on their cell phones while in the bathroom. I flush as much as possible when I witness that.

8:52 am

hego

Hi Aloy!

8:53 am

MimiCat

I can, jmc, but then I make no money because the longer it takes to do hers, the less time I have for the other dr. that I can just speed through. Right now since I'm still "in training" on the bad dr., I do the best I can and leave big holes for my boss to fill in and move on to the dr. who is a pleasure to transcribe so I can make decent money. If I could only do reasonable drs., I'd make twice the money but my boss wants someone to train on this horrible dr. so she can go on her honeymoon in October and have it covered....frankly, I think she's unrealistically optimistic...

8:53 am

MimiCat

being the one on the other end of the saw with the diamond blade that cuts the asphalt gets old even faster:(

Aloyisius

hi hego, how's the grid going for you? 25 left here (I lurked at the flip).. hi Mimi

8:54 am

o-o

Old English frigedÃ¦g "Frigga's day," from Frige, genitive of Frig (see Frigg), Germanic goddess of married love, a West Germanic translation of Latin dies Veneris "day of (the planet) Venus," which itself translated Greek Aphrodites hemera.

Cf. Old Norse frijadagr, Old Frisian frigendei, Middle Dutch vridach, Dutch vrijdag, German Freitag "Friday," and the Latin-derived cognates Old French vendresdi, French vendredi, Spanish viernes.

In the Germanic pantheon, Freya (q.v.) corresponds more closely in character to Venus than Frigg does, and some early Icelandic writers used Freyjudagr for "Friday."

how are you this fine summer day?

12:38 pm

uusue2

hi wv!

12:38 pm

uusue2

I am much better than yesterday, crossy! Had a cyst removed on Wednesday and it hurt a lot more than I was expecting but now all is well.

12:39 pm

wvteach

glad you're feeling better

12:39 pm

crosshair

yes,i know the feeling.feels like they are digging it out with an ice cream scoop

12:39 pm

uusue2

me too! thanks!

12:40 pm

crosshair

i had some agressive moles removed from my belly in much the same way

12:40 pm

uusue2

ah, yes, that would be no fun. At least the back isn't too sensitive.

12:40 pm

MollyL

: O Didn't they numb it first?

12:41 pm

crosshair

fast injection and 15 seconds later he is coming at you with the scalpel and you say "wait!!" i think i can still feel something!! and he says "no you don't and starts carving

12:41 pm

TraderKate

hi sue :) glad you're not hurting any more.

12:41 pm

uusue2

yes but eventually that wears off. That's when it got pretty miserable.

12:41 pm

uusue2

Still hurts but not nearly so much.

12:41 pm

mael

I had a mole out in january and, surprise, it turns out I'm resistant to local anesthetic

12:41 pm

TraderKate

waaah crossy!!!

12:41 pm

MollyL

No pain meds for after?

12:42 pm

TraderKate

hi molly and mael :)

12:42 pm

mael

that was the opposite of fun

12:42 pm

mael

hi kate! :)

12:42 pm

uusue2

ugh, mael, I hope they were able to do something else!

12:42 pm

uusue2

no, molly, they just said take tylenol, which I find to be pretty useless

12:42 pm

mael

nope. I had a skin biospy done last month, same thing

12:42 pm

mael

it dulls the edge of the pain, but that's about it. :(

12:43 pm

MollyL

A doctor (and I use that term loosely) tried to relocate my son's severely dislocated foot about a minute after he gave him some morphine. I got right in his face and told him to back the hell off until the morphine did it's job.

12:44 pm

uusue2

good for you, molly!

12:44 pm

crosshair

same here all they gave was regular tylenol,so i broke out the 40% alcohol volume medicine for a day or 2

12:44 pm

uusue2

at least in my case they did wait a few minutes for the local to kick in.

12:44 pm

TraderKate

good going molls

12:44 pm

MollyL

Suggestion: When they tell you to take Tylenol (lame) always tell them that it does nothing for you. More times than not, they will prescribe something stronger.

12:45 pm

uusue2

well, Frank and I both have leftover stronger painkillers, so that was actually not a problem

12:45 pm

MollyL

Sue and Frank stash the good stuff. : D

12:46 pm

TraderKate

panacea of the ages crossy ;)

12:46 pm

mael

the counterpoint to that is when I had a tooth abscess drained and the surgeon gave me 40 (forty!) vicodin

12:46 pm

uusue2

hey, you never know when you are going to need it :-)

12:46 pm

crosshair

suze has a stash!!!

12:46 pm

crosshair

wow!,mael!!

12:46 pm

TraderKate

really mael??? wow!

12:46 pm

MollyL

Mael, you could have done some good street selling with all that Vicodin.

12:46 pm

crosshair

all over to mael's house for the good stuff!

12:47 pm

TraderKate

mael has a better stach ;)

12:47 pm

bichon

40 Vikes, what's the street value?

12:47 pm

mael

I was flabbergasted, I guess I look sweet and innocent and in need of 40 vicodin

12:47 pm

crosshair

10-15 a tab

12:48 pm

MollyL

Well, now we know what Crosshair does in his spare time.

12:48 pm

TraderKate

is that ab 7/40 a "normal" word?

12:48 pm

mael

I don't know, but that stash is long gone (I took one day of, it made me loopy, and I never took one again). I guess my husband owes me 390-585 dollars!

12:49 pm

TraderKate

how do you think he could afford his new jeep??? lol

12:50 pm

bichon

the ab 7 is not a normal word. ab + one of the re words

Yoiks. Just googled the Zimmerman trial. Pretty contentious.....

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

that was when i made my first poster with my favorite quote from Benjamin Franklin:

4:13 pm

MollyL

Ooo, now I want a peach

4:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

gee what would they call you now? cannot use the commie word

4:13 pm

jmcnrick

Those who give up an essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither.

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

Sadly that quote is apt today.

4:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had one today, it was very juicy. and free becaise they could not get it to ring up correctly

4:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

did i get my clue pls?

4:14 pm

jmcnrick

now i am called a terrorist of course. . . or someone who supports terrorism. . . .you know how vicious we Quakers are. . .

4:15 pm

MollyL

There has never been enough evidence in the Zimmerman case for it to even be brought to trial. Another example of how the American legal system is manipulated.

4:15 pm

joso

i think it alway will be jmc, who said 'i may dissagree with what he says but will defend to the death his right to say it' or words to that effect

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

molls there is no question he shot the man. . .the question is how and why. . .that is exactly what a trial is for. . .

4:16 pm

o-o

voltaire

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

voltaire

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

i always like the justice jackson quote too:

4:17 pm

joso

good man voltaire

4:17 pm

MollyL

He was not even arrested, originally because the police saw it as self defense. The Zimmerman trial is all about the race card. And it does not belong in a court room.

4:17 pm

jmcnrick

Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.

4:18 pm

Wolvie

oh my- what a time to sign on to babble.

4:18 pm

Wolvie

oh my- what a time to sign on to babble.

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

most people are not arrested immediately. . .unless they are black, of course. . . .

4:18 pm

Wolvie

nice quote jmc

4:18 pm

joso

excellent quote, new to me that one jmc

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

i often think about it wolvie. . .justice jackson is not well enough known. . .

4:19 pm

Wolvie

uphill battle with that one i think jmc not that i dont agree with you ( the arrested comment)

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

that is why i get into trouble so much though. . . i support freedom of speech for people with whom i do not in any way agree. . .

4:19 pm

Wolvie

it does make one think. something that is sadly lacking today

4:19 pm

Wolvie

so do i, much to my regret at times, lol

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

i seldom regret it unless it results in a friend turning away from me. . .

4:21 pm

Wolvie

i regret that i have to listen, lol. but i would hate the alternative

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

i honestly believe the country and world is better if we hear from all sides. . . and if all sides at least pretend to listen ;-)

4:21 pm

Wolvie

off the chog back to the grid- just getting started

4:21 pm

joso

yea, another case of getting lumped in with a group against your will and the real issues getting obscured

4:21 pm

MollyL

Freedom to differ is great, and I'm all for it. That has nothing to do with the law, and what constitutes self defense.

4:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

pls mau i get help with my last words?

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

and that molls is what is the courts job. . .

4:21 pm

Wolvie

listen is the key word jmc. hardly anyone does that anymore

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

sorry TO i don't have it. . .

4:22 pm

joso

absolutely TO

4:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think he is respobsible because he should not have followed and confronted the guy unless he saw him committing a crime and was to stop it.

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

that is why i am trying so hard to create a nonpartisan advocacy group. . . talk about rolling a boulder up hill!

4:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

it escalated into something entirely different than he expected

4:23 pm

joso

re6-30 medical cure, fix a problem

4:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

but what degree , what charge and what penalty?

4:23 pm

MollyL

I often forget what a liberal board this is.

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

ty joso

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

it is liberal to think people should have a trial?

4:24 pm

Jillyjill

Afternoon all.. *happy Friday dance* will dive in and tackle this grid...not go running off like yesterday!

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is, very much.

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

i did not weigh in on which way i think the court should decide. . . just that i think the court should decide. . .

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty joso *thinking*

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

hi jilly. . . enjoy. . .

4:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. but is it consrvative to be able to stand up and say we cannot indite if there is not the eveidence? the charge was 2nd degree.

4:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

and the thing about the law is that it is always open to interpretation. that is what i learned in law class. it was an eye opener.

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

the grand jury is part of the process. . . and often indites when there is not enough evidence in my experience. . .but no such outcry when the indictment without evidence is a black kid. . .I have no idea if there was enough evidence. . .the system is that the grand jury decides and it did. . .

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

i have not followed this case. . .

4:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

so the poilce and da cannot make that judgement w/out the rand jury? this is not an argument, it is a ?

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

i followed my hubby's cases and my cases and a few friends when they got into trouble. . .

4:29 pm

ivesy3

i think it is the race card too.. but, would zimmerman have followed him if he were white?

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

there are ways for the DA to indict without a grand jury but it is difficult. . .generally a grand jury is involved to represent a check on an unfettered DA. . .

4:29 pm

Wolvie

as dershowitz said- our system is not about justice, it is about the law. (forgive any sp errors)

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

mostly grand juries rubber stamp. . .

4:30 pm

ivesy3

and y did he keep following him after the police told him not to.. if they reduce charges there will be racial problems

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i really think he thought they kid would give up and it got out of hand. I think the gun emboldened him

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

welll on the justice department is engraved: a country not ruled by law is ruled by the caprice of man. . .

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not think he thought it through at all. perhaps he wanted to be a cop for real and thought he would get accolades. who knows?

4:32 pm

ivesy3

i heard he was offered ajob as a cop, but didnt take it.dont know if its true

4:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty i am still ruminating on thsoe last two re words, ut at least there are now only two

4:33 pm

ivesy3

and im still wondering y bedpot isnt a word lol

4:33 pm

Wolvie

the main thing to me was he didnt listen to the cops - to stay in his car- they would handle it- when he disobeyed that directive- all self defense claims went out the door

4:34 pm

joso

from what I understand you have a vigilante with a gun hunting bad guys and a teen running an errand to the corner store, then you have a dead body. Colour is muddying up the issues but surely serious questions should be asked, and a trial should do that. A trial should not be a rubber stamp to come up with a guilty verdict, but explore all known about the issue.

4:34 pm

Wolvie

that is as cut and dried as it really is.

4:34 pm

jmcnrick

bedpot?

4:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

omg i nearly burned the house down. left a pot on the stove

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

bedpan?

4:35 pm

ivesy3

i agree wolvie.. i been saying that all along. they told him not follow him..he should answer the question as to y did he

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

should we dial 911?

4:35 pm

Jeff7

actually, pot bed should be a word to :)

4:35 pm

Wolvie

lol

4:36 pm

Jeff7

too

4:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wonder about a town watch member who has a permit to carry. recipe for disaster

4:36 pm

ivesy3

sure jm.. y not a word.. u have bed, you have pot.. bedpot lol

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

pot bed is two words though. . .

4:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:39 pm

MollyL

I was here, she was really snitty.
: P

4:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, snit was in the grid. as was sh*t

4:40 pm

jmcnrick

no you can clean teflon. . . it just takes soaking and scrubbing and then soaking a scrubbing. . .

4:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

dancing tonight and all day tomorrow, big party

4:40 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...okay, okay...I am sufficiently punished...

4:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

but if it was damaged will it give off noxious chemicals?

4:40 pm

jmcnrick

i amazed myself and came into the chog and didn't even enter one word. . .(but found them in my head)

4:41 pm

MollyL

It's okay Jill, we all have snitty days. No punishment.

4:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

:D my pan does not smell burned, it smells as if meat is cooking. odd

4:41 pm

jmcnrick

no it gives off noxious chemicals when it is over he**ed (a lot) at the time of being overhe**ed

4:42 pm

jmcnrick

did the thunderstorm keep you awak last night molls?

4:43 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I was working in Recovery Room this week, and last patient, after a long day, tried to crash on us. So, while outcome great-we saved her, I probably should have had an easier grid

4:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have done this before. it scares me. i just go off and forget

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

glad you saved her but that has to be tough. . .

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

set a timer TO. . .i set one on my phone which is pretty much always with me. . .

4:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

good idea, je.

4:49 pm

MollyL

I slept great last night. The thunder was far enough away that it just rumbled.

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

it was directly over my head. . . :-(

To clean a burnt pot, add biological washing powder to warm water in the pan and leave overnight. The burnt bit will clean easily. saves a lot of work.

4:53 pm

Jillyjill

Later then jmc!

Oh golly, was I not attentive enough to chat? I had some things going on in the kitchen. *Gives self 30 lashes*

I often gazump people.

I knew from the start you were a gazumper.

5:07 pm

I often offend people with my gazumping. So sad, too bad. : P

I feel your pain Molls.

5:16 pm

Soodle

This little island I call home is sweltering in unheard of temperatures at the moment. 32 degrees plus! And not an air conditioning unit in sight. Its been a difficult week at the office!

5:19 pm

MollyL

We get that hot most of the summer. I need a cool down, there is no fresh air out there.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Irish people are hilarious. Day one- 'Isn't it a lovely day?' Day 2. 'Oh I hope this weather lasts'. Day 3 ' we could do with a drop of rain'. Day 4 ' Lets pray for rain'.... Day 5 ' Jaysus, we're all going to melt'. I'll let you know about Day 6 tomorrow....

5:22 pm

MollyL

I don't know how you do it without air conditioning.

5:23 pm

BzznBea

I'm melting with air conditioning.

5:23 pm

MollyL

Baby????

5:24 pm

BzznBea

Oh, yes. She was born 7/10 at 4:14 am. Weighed in at 6lbs 8 ozs 20 inches long.

5:33 pm

Soodle

Newborns terrify the living daylights outta me. The fragility, the soft spot on the head, the utter guilelessness of them. Even now, 18+ years on, I find it hard to believe I got 3 of them to aduldhood without any major incidents. Taking a moment to send a swift gratitude prayer upwards....

5:39 pm

MollyL

I think newborns are extraordinary. They take my breath away.

5:41 pm

Soodle

Oh dear. I killed the chog. Sorry . Enjoy the newbee Bzz.

5:44 pm

If the following statement is repeated to Soodle-offspring, I will deny it:- I can't wait to be a Granda! Bring it on!!!

5:56 pm

lilliann

hi Soodle

5:57 pm

lilliann

i was very chatty last night but you did your usual thing of backing out the chog Molly :D

6:00 pm

lilliann

i chat when i want to.i'm a person who enjoys my own space, even though i'm not actually chatting to people 1;1 even on here there are times i still like my own space.that's why i like this game and the chat. i choose when i want to chat :)

6:01 pm

lilliann

*as in literally

6:01 pm

MollyL

My usual thing??

6:01 pm

lilliann

now i've killed the chat as usual!!

6:03 pm

lilliann

you back out of the chog when you think you've annoyed or upset someone

6:05 pm

lilliann

you've done it a few times to me, when you've thought you've annoyed or upset me, believe me, you haven't as i will say if you have :)

6:06 pm

MollyL

If someone makes a pissed off comment, like Kate did last night, I back off instead of chatting any further. I have been told that is the best thing to do.

6:12 pm

lilliann

I like you Molly and i like the fact that you say how it is and what you believe and will stand up for what you believe.it's a pity more don't do it and it's a shame that because of your meanor that a person said nasty things about you, saying that, we all take what people write here differently.some to heart and some don't care.That's life

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Hi lilli and Molly and others :)

6:13 pm

lilliann

hi Liz :)

6:14 pm

Lizlin

I agree with what you're saying, lilli.

6:14 pm

lilliann

ty liz

6:15 pm

lilliann

so, liz, how are you?

6:15 pm

Lizlin

I know that people have different tones of writing but think it very sad that here or anywhere else, people set out to upset someone.

6:15 pm

Lizlin

Very, very well thanks ;)

6:16 pm

Lizlin

Hope you're enjoying summery weather lilli

6:16 pm

lilliann

i meant the nasty comment as being on facebook.even though i didn't see it as it was erased

6:17 pm

lilliann

i think if you have something to say, you should say it to their face or not in computor worlds case!!

6:18 pm

Lizlin

I didn't see it either but think that Molly's right to back off from someone if they're being aggressive. It's too easy to insult in writing. Much harder face to face.

6:18 pm

lilliann

glad you are well and yes, it was 32 degrees here today, which is very odd for the North

6:20 pm

lilliann

yes, you're right, it is easier to be nasty over a computor, but sometimes peoples' words are miscontrued.i just think that especially here, we are from different countries so what offends in one country doesn't in another.you must know the differences, as you lived here for alot of years and now in another country

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Language is a funny thing. Some words for instance, that we use every day in England and Aus are totally unacceptable in other countries - rude even!

6:24 pm

lilliann

exactly, the same as some signs but obviously we can't use signs here so some words and even icons upset people.oh well, we can't please everybody all the time!

6:25 pm

Lizlin

So we just try to be ourselves - except for those who try to be someone else!!!

6:26 pm

lilliann

i still need 55 left as i started late again today as i was putting veg in tubs tonight as it was cooler outside than it was inside, so i'm diving in for a while

6:27 pm

Lizlin

See you soon :)

6:27 pm

lilliann

yes, the problem is knowing who is a real person and who isn't!!

6:27 pm

lilliann

you too :)

6:27 pm

Lizlin

For sure!

6:29 pm

penquis

i am back...

6:31 pm

MollyL

L, I'm not sure I understand. You yourself say that you lurk and don't chat because you feel as though you run people off. And yet you indicate that I am doing something wrong by backing away from an angry comment. I'll leave it at that, and let chat get back to the light and fluffy stuff.

6:35 pm

lilliann

i never said you did something wrong, on the contrary Molly, i think you should have stopped and i mentioned the other day that i think i run people off but i don't stop chatting, i stop because i don't want to chat, that's me.this is why i hate the chat as you can never say what you mean properly, especially typing!i wasn't having a go at you and i'm not going to argue the toss over things now. i was actually standing up for you!! but heho, i'll go back to the grid now!

hello Mother -- was going to let you know I have sent you the picture of the fabric you liked for the utility room... and what about using some of those red color sets in my kitchen? Living room in golds and greens, kitchen-dining in reds and golds? Tom's office in golds and blues...

9:10 pm

stidmama

and my office in a rainbow...

9:10 pm

TraderKate

Yes, family moved her to Gillette where my sis in law and family are. Not going well, I think she needs to be in assisted living. she calls several times a day wanting to move back to Butte and we have to go through the litany of why she can't. I feel for my sis in law, really bearing the brunt of the care.

how commendable mark! i hope you are fulfillled in your life! sounds idyllic! (though i'm sure you have had your share of headaches)

11:24 pm

markbowers7

well...we also foster teenagers

11:24 pm

TraderKate

ah-ha!!!! now babble needs a soundtrack we can turn on.... mark steps up to the plate.....

11:26 pm

Jillyjill

brb...sorry

11:26 pm

TraderKate

oh boy! both ends of the spectrum - each with their own set of needs and problems ... seriouly, that must be very strenuous on your daily life....

11:26 pm

TraderKate

do you foster the teens long-term or short term?

11:27 pm

markbowers7

we try for long-term, but that's not always possible. right now we have a 17 yr old boy who we've had for the past 2.5 yrs and have another 2 yrs to go until he finishes high school

11:29 pm

markbowers7

so far, he's the longest, hands-down...

11:30 pm

TraderKate

the gods be willing mark - i hope it works out well for both of you - at that age it's very difficulot to "find a place in the world, when you aren't where you're "supposed to be" (with family)... so foster care there extends beyond age 18 if they are still in school? that's great!!!

11:31 pm

TraderKate

by now, you must have built up wuite a rapore with him... is it a relationship you hope to continue in the years beyond?

11:31 pm

TraderKate

quite...

11:32 pm

markbowers7

only if they're still in school. plus, we are doing international foster care (it's a UN program), so he's a refugee who's been granted asylee status in the US. and yes, as far as we're concerned he's family

11:32 pm

TraderKate

all night i have been hitting the w instead of the q key....

11:33 pm

markbowers7

well, don't wuit now....

11:33 pm

TraderKate

how wonderful for all of you!!! such a learning experience!! may i ask where he's from?

11:33 pm

markbowers7

;)

11:33 pm

TraderKate

lololol mark ;)

11:35 pm

markbowers7

Burma, he's from a persecuted people group called Chin Falam. he and his sister fled the country and eventually made it to a UN refugee camp and then to the US. he still has family over there and calls/skypes them often

11:35 pm

Jillyjill

How wonderful that you are doing that Mark!

11:35 pm

TraderKate

i'm glad the "powers that be" don't kick him to the curb at 18 regardless of education level etc. in my books, 18 is waaaay too young these days especially!
