1:34 am

puglet

I dont talk to you much Ru but I rather like your puns too and I wish you safe traveling

1:36 am

sprite

how are you today, pug?

1:37 am

puglet

Iam just fine and You dear friend

1:38 am

sprite

am good. Bit nervous for the results of the second blood test. But telling myself things are already the way they are, so learning about them doesn't make them different.

1:39 am

puglet

when will you get it back?

1:40 am

sprite

I can phone the doctor in the afternoon. And I have an appointment with her tomorrow to talk things through.

1:40 am

Lizlin

Oh! I've missed so much recently! I hope all's well sprite :)

1:41 am

puglet

I will pray that things will go well for you Sprite.Remember He gives no more then we can handle

1:42 am

sprite

no, it won't be good news. Internal balance is messed up. Sugar too high, liver not good. I hope kidneys will check out ok though.

1:42 am

sprite

pug... that may be true. But he measures it up to the very last millimeter!

1:43 am

puglet

are you a diabetic Sprite

1:43 am

sprite

1:44 am

Lizlin

Hoping for the best possible results.

1:44 am

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teresa

1:46 am

puglet

Morning O--I like that

1:46 am

sprite

pug, the blood results I got back last week were the first I heard about it. We are now waiting for more detailed results. Don't know yet what kind of treatment I need.

1:46 am

sprite

love it, o-o

1:47 am

puglet

well I know diet and exercise is a biggie

1:47 am

sprite

yep. And I am blessed with an eating disorder and physical handicaps. So biggie is right.

1:48 am

puglet

I try not to buy anything that is processed or canned. Fresh or frozen stuff as much as possible

1:49 am

puglet

are you wheelchair bound Sprite

1:50 am

sprite

well, it is a complicated matter with lots of...errrr... interesting implications. We'll see what we can do. I am not promising anything yet :)

1:51 am

puglet

I wish you the very very best Sprite

1:51 am

sprite

no, thank God I am not. I couldn't walk anymore after the birth of my daughter and I should have taken a wheelchair then. I refused though, walked on crutches and managed to get it down to a cane after several years, then finally without cane as well.

1:51 am

sprite

I know you do, pug, I can feel it. Thanks :)

Hi Ruby - long time no see - mostly down to me I think!!!!

1:55 am

sprite

1:56 am

puglet

On our little trip to Alaska, it was still film so I am left with one small but very beautiful album. The rest stays imprinted on my brain

2:03 am

Lizlin

We plan to put a photo book together - probably using iTunes. But I agree, there's so much that's just imprinted on the brain too.

2:03 am

puglet

If I were younger I think I would love to live in Alaska cause I love cooler weather and I would love to have a team of sled dogs

2:04 am

Lizlin

We had amazing weather in Alaska. Really warm.

2:05 am

puglet

How long did you travel Liz

2:06 am

Lizlin

We were away for 4 weeks. Met up with family in Vancouver for a few days. Toured the Rockies for 2 weeks and then cruised the Inside Passage for 7 days.

2:07 am

puglet

that sounds delightful indeed

2:08 am

Lizlin

It was made even better because close friends from London joined us on the cruise - hadn't seen them for 2 years.

2:08 am

rubyfoo

congrats, dawg!! It's kind of tricky

7:10 am

lbdawger

it is a tricky grid for sure!

7:11 am

Anniebrook

dawg, clue for fa5 please

7:11 am

lbdawger

several foreign words too.

7:12 am

lynxxx

a fa5 board goes accross the face of something usually on a house

7:13 am

lynxxx

Hello Annie and Dawg

7:13 am

Anniebrook

thanks

7:14 am

Anniebrook

hi lynxxx, tricky one today

7:14 am

MollyL

And (in construction at least) almost always spelled with an S in it.

7:14 am

lynxxx

Yes, I have just come back to it

7:15 am

lynxxx

unusual for the US to add letters into words - they usually drop them for something briefer

7:16 am

godthaab

The word with the "s" means something different than the word with out it. They are two different things.

7:18 am

lynxxx

hi Godthaab

7:19 am

godthaab

Good morning lynxxx

7:19 am

MollyL

By definition, the word with S means the same architectural thing that was referred to, and it is a medical term.

7:19 am

Anniebrook

hello haab

7:19 am

godthaab

Hi Annie

7:40 am

lbdawger

7:54 am

RoundBarn

Thanks, Annie. That's the one that almost won the Newbury! Little Brown should have put it in papervback! I need to get a copy for a friend--it did win the big Vermont award--

7:55 am

Anniebrook

7:55 am

mael

it would accept kosher, so I think halal really should be a word :)

7:55 am

RoundBarn

the Dorothy Canfield Fisher. I must see what it's selling for. Look at what Paleface Redskins is selling for--I can't afford it!!

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Doren. Home from MArtha's Vineyard?

8:22 am

Dorens

i am, and it was the best ever!

8:24 am

Scrabbler

I got home from the Adirondacks last night at 11:30 and we had a GREAT time in the Lake Placid region--hiking, kayaking and laughing.

8:25 am

Dorens

that's great. when you say kayaking, do you mean the hornbeck?

8:25 am

welki

'morning, everyone

8:25 am

Dorens

hi welki

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Hi Welki

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes, my sister, Leslie, and my friend, Celeste, and I have Hornbeck canoes. We paddled on Lake Placid, the AuSable River, Cascade Lake, and the Chubb River.

8:27 am

Scrabbler

And Celeste and I paddled on Nick's Lake and Lake Harris/Hudson River before and after we were with Leslie.

8:28 am

welki

I imagine that you have Popeye muscles in your arms now, Scrabbs :)

8:28 am

Dorens

i thank you at least twice a week for telling me about the hornbeck! I am so happy with it

8:33 am

Scrabbler

My arms are muscular! We did one almost 7 mile hike and my legs are still sore.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it the best, Doren?! We are paddling ambassadors for Hornbeck boats!

8:36 am

Hi All

Hiya Scrabs

hego

The grunts you hear are me trying to squeeze words out of this mess.

8:40 am

Dorens

people often ask me about it... particularly when they see me lift it off the rack and carry it as though it weighs nothing
hi hego

8:40 am

hego

Hi Doren

8:40 am

welki

when we flyfish, not from shore, we use belly boats and pontoons - like this: http://tinyurl.com/m3h9fbr and http://tinyurl.com/ktvzjor

8:41 am

Dorens

i've gotten down to 22 with no list and there's nothing left that I can see!

8:41 am

hego

<--never carried her boat.

8:42 am

welki

we use flippers to propel ourselves in the belly boats and either oars or a small trolling motor on the pontoons

8:42 am

Scrabbler

I've seen those belly boats. The pontoon boat is really cool.

8:42 am

Dorens

cute, welki.
hego, these boats weigh about 14 pounds.. so cool

8:42 am

welki

i went to the hornbeck site - they even have kits to make your canoe dog-friendly :)

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Doren, I arrived at the boat launch yesterday, after paddling across the lake, and a man asked if I needed help carrying my canoe to the car. I said "no, thanks," then carried my canoe like a toy.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

I have 21 words.

8:43 am

welki

lol - all those folks thinking that dorens and scrabbler are amazons :)

8:44 am

hego

:)

8:44 am

Dorens

they are fantastic! going to the hornbeck place to pick it up is such fun! (and yes, beatiful country. the adirondacks). I'm hoping to go up there in September if possible for a weekend

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Doren. Where will you be?

8:44 am

8:45 am

ty welki

8:45 am

Scrabbler

TY, welki

8:46 am

welki

i love those moments - i was fishing once (in the belly boat), having some good luck and another fisher floated up beside me to ask which flies i was using - i answered and he said, "Whoa! You're not a guy!" Ahem, well no kidding.

8:47 am

Dorens

i think i'll go back to cedarwood b & b in north river. it was so lovely, and then take the boat to thirteenth lake. i just hiked around it a bit last time... when i got the boat, i couldn't wait to bring it home!!

8:48 am

I am very an 5/10 when it comes to Babbling. I feel like I MUST finish every grid. My am 5/16 Al 4/4 thinks I am addicted to Babble and he is probably right. Since I feel the need to finish every puzzle,I often have to ca4/5 on Lickety's list which is a godsend. I ca6/21 finish any grid without his list. After going to Lickety's list, words seem to ma 7/44ally appear to me. I ca 4/5 Babble anymore because hubby needs the computer. Hubby doesn't care one io 4/4 about Babble! I'm going to go watch the film "Dead Ca 4/6" starring Nicole Kidman. Ci 4/5 for now!

10:22 am

cool.girl

11:38 am

uusue2

(((ruby)))

11:38 am

uusue2

so how are things by you, ruby?

11:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm fine, dogs are great, husband is fading. And the weather is perfect!

11:39 am

rubyfoo

How are you and Frank?

11:39 am

uusue2

ah, sorry about the hubby, but the rest sounds god

11:39 am

uusue2

*good

11:40 am

wvteach

hello all - went off to check emails and find that everyone has shown up

11:40 am

uusue2

we are doing well; Frank had a wisdom tooth out a couple of weeks ago and is still complaining but it is getting better

11:40 am

rubyfoo

god, too lol

11:40 am

rubyfoo

Hail, hail, the gang's all here!

11:41 am

jesdraggon

husband is fading, ruby? i hope you just mean he's sleepy?

11:41 am

MimiCat

And me, too, ruby!

11:41 am

uusue2

hi mimi!

11:42 am

rubyfoo

No, I'm afraid not. He's sort of drifting away

11:42 am

MimiCat

((sue))

11:42 am

rubyfoo

I guess this is what happens toward the end

11:42 am

jesdraggon

:(

11:43 am

uusue2

oh dear, ruby, I hope you are ok

11:43 am

rubyfoo

At least he's not so nasty any more :)

11:43 am

wvteach

ruby - have you found some support for yourself?

11:44 am

uusue2

well, I suppose that is the silver lining, ruby

11:44 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK, the housekeeper comes and I have some friends here. It's not so bad. And there are the lovely pups to keep me even

11:45 am

MimiCat

((ruby)) just sent you an em.

11:45 am

uusue2

ah, glad you have friends, that is very important

11:46 am

jesdraggon

*offers ruby a cup of tea*

11:46 am

rubyfoo

I must sound very cold-hearted

11:47 am

MimiCat

Just popped in for a minute and now must get back to transcribing the crazy doc. Found out why they put up with her...she OWNS the practice!! Bye for now and hugs all around. Hang in there, ruby.

11:47 am

rubyfoo

ty Mimi

11:48 am

MollyL

Ruby, for the 100th time, you do not sound cold hearted. This is a situation where you have taken a lot of emotional abuse, whether it was illness-induced or not.

11:48 am

uusue2

bye mimi!

11:48 am

rubyfoo

You are too kind, Molly. I think I should be nicer to himnow, but I just don't feel like it

11:49 am

uusue2

and what molly said, ruby - be kind to yourself - you are one strong lady!

11:49 am

jesdraggon

bye, mimi, hope the day is minimally stressful

11:49 am

rubyfoo

for the tea, I need a tea wa6 lol

11:50 am

MimiCat

Thanks, jes...I really hate alien chipmunk days!

11:50 am

MollyL

No, I'm not too kind. You have tolerated a lot more than most women would and here you are right now, emotionally, is okay.

11:50 am

MollyL

*where you are right now

11:50 am

rubyfoo

and even here

11:51 am

jesdraggon

alien chipmunk?

11:51 am

rubyfoo

Does everybody have the wa6? I think it's a funny word, learned from Slumdog....

11:51 am

uusue2

maybe we can arrange for a tea wa6 in the PB - I'd kick in a few virtual bucks for that :-)

11:51 am

jesdraggon

not cold hearted, ruby, you just sound worn out.

11:51 am

MimiCat

I call the crazy doc "alien chipmunk with OCD on drugs."

11:52 am

jesdraggon

aha. give her a cookie, it might help.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

Actually, summer makes me feel peppy. I love the heat

11:52 am

RoundBarn

Molly, if you're on b now, would you mind sending me your email? Yousaid kind things abt my books the other day. I can send you something.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

Or maybe some acorns

11:52 am

MimiCat

That's her nickname from me because she is almost totally indecipherable. Worst I've heard in 40 years.

11:52 am

RoundBarn

my email is jjack1@uis.edu

11:52 am

jesdraggon

i had a resident once that had blood sugar swings, and he'd have mood changes worse than a pregnant teenager with caffeine withdrawls. I started keeping a stash of snacks to slip him.

11:53 am

MimiCat

She is in Colorado and I'm in Arizona...don't think I could throw a cookie or an acorn that far! If I could, I'd be tempted to throw something a LOT HEAVIER directly at her!!

11:53 am

jesdraggon

ahah. oh well. You could ups her a package of oreos?

11:53 am

uusue2

mimi, you are very patient! Probably a good thing the two of you are not in the same state :-)

11:54 am

MimiCat

Or a venomous snake....

11:54 am

jesdraggon

no mimi! You might hurt the snake!

11:54 am

MimiCat

Good point, jes!

11:55 am

rolotom

clue for the left column o please?

11:55 am

rubyfoo

when I was in college one of my little jobs was transcribing psychoanalytic sessions for my psychology prof. He was writing a book about his schizy patient, so I can imagine

11:55 am

wvteach

OG 4/7

11:56 am

MimiCat

Don't have any choice, sue..need the job. Luckily, I mostly do one of the other drs. who is a dream to transcribe. There just isn't any excuse for alien doc to dictate that badly...it's unprofessional and stupid considering she's the one who gets sued if there's a mistake.

11:56 am

rubyfoo

o +leg og4/7

11:56 am

uusue2

og4/7, rolo, weird word but there aren't many possibilities that give that score

11:56 am

rolotom

Got it, ty!

11:56 am

jesdraggon

thanks ruby and sue

11:56 am

rubyfoo

hah, I thought of a clue : o + group of whales?

11:57 am

rubyfoo

or is that a pod?

11:57 am

wvteach

think it is a pod

11:57 am

uusue2

mimi, I know you need the work - good thing most of it is not crazy-making!

11:57 am

uusue2

I think it's a pod, ruby

11:57 am

MimiCat

Yep--that's a pod, ruby.

11:58 am

rubyfoo

Is it a collective oun for anything?

11:58 am

rubyfoo

noun*

11:58 am

MimiCat

Good to see everyone today and now off to crazytown for a few hours....bye and hugs again...really going this time!

11:58 am

jesdraggon

bye mimi

11:59 am

rubyfoo

and then there's the funny ditch

12:01 pm

jesdraggon

half way!

12:02 pm

uusue2

just looked it up, ruby, you are right! It is used for a group of whales! I never knew that.

12:02 pm

rubyfoo

thank yo, sue, it was tucked away in an obscure corner of my brain

12:03 pm

uusue2

You can also call a group of whales a herd or a mob.

12:17 pm

uusue2

(and yes, it's a late breakfast, I am enjoying my retirement!)

12:18 pm

Foffle

good for you! what's for breakfast?

12:20 pm

uusue2

yogurt, fresh strawberries, and cereal (I buy a soy cereal that is high in protein and fiber)

12:20 pm

uusue2

and herbal tea, I have been ordered off caffeine, sadly

12:21 pm

Foffle

sounds good yummmm

12:21 pm

uusue2

crossy turns up his nose - not enough bacon :-) - but I like it

12:22 pm

Foffle

he would

12:22 pm

uusue2

I love bacon and eggs, but can't eat like that every day

12:22 pm

MollyL

*Weeps for Sue about the caffeine*

12:23 pm

Foffle

but I love bacon too

12:23 pm

uusue2

and the strawberries are quite nice

12:23 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly, I have sort of gotten used to it. Sort of.

12:23 pm

Foffle

I've been ordered off caffiene too and ignoring it completely

12:24 pm

MollyL

I am down to one cup a day, in the morning, but I would be lost without that.

12:24 pm

uusue2

Well, my blood pressure was through the roof for a while so I really did need to get it under control

12:24 pm

wvteach

have never liked caffeine nad love my herbal teas - try some different kinds until you find a favorite

12:24 pm

uusue2

it's better now, though, so I do cheat every now and then, but not every day

12:24 pm

jesdraggon

at least you can sleep in while coming off the caff :)

12:25 pm

uusue2

that is true, jes :-)

12:25 pm

jesdraggon

would suck to shake the addiction while working mornings

12:25 pm

MollyL

And I'm the same way about bacon and eggs. I couldn't eat that way every day.

12:25 pm

Foffle

oooh I could!

12:26 pm

uusue2

well, I was working at the time, but that was when they'd hired me back after I retired the first time; I couldn't be full time (75% max) so the 25% I cut was the first couple of hours in the morning :-)

12:26 pm

MollyL

Well Foffle, I could, because I love the taste, but I can't because of the fat and cholesterol.

12:26 pm

jesdraggon

t's tossed

12:27 pm

jesdraggon

wise plan, sue :)

12:27 pm

I give up when I get bored

12:30 pm

uusue2

listing...

12:30 pm

Foffle

....just about to happen

12:31 pm

MollyL

That is why this is the only word game I fool with. I can take my time and find words whenever I can take a break for a few minutes. No rush, like with the timed games.

12:31 pm

uusue2

I'm with you, Molly, I don't do well with things that have short time limits

12:32 pm

Oncology Unit at Berkly Hospital in WV

MollyL

Wow, that is a long commute.

9:23 pm

phandmd

I think it will be about an hour.

9:24 pm

MollyL

I can't commit to that kind of a commute. Especially when it takes me north into bad weather, in the winter.

9:25 pm

phandmd

yeah, but I got to get experience somehow. And at this point it is just an interview...

9:26 pm

MollyL

I hope it goes well for you.

9:27 pm

phandmd

thanks. I haven't had an interview in like 20 years, so, it should be interesting. In the past I would get very anxious about an interview. Hopefully I have matured and it wont be so bad now.
