1:29 am

VolleymomDee

1:34 am

flosey

May I please have a clue for eo6-18? Thanks

1:45 am

flosey

1:48 am

crayola

eo + big-maned forest animal that roars, but with different last vowel

1:49 am

flosey

hi, and thanks crayola, hi Peach

1:49 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, crayola.

1:49 am

crayola

hi flosey

1:50 am

gapeach

Hi there, flosey. Hope you are well and happy.

1:50 am

flosey

yes thanks Peach, and you?

1:51 am

flosey

made a batch of blackberry jam today, they grow wild all over this island but we have lots right here on the property

1:51 am

gapeach

Doing OK today.....still raining, still waiting for it to stop so that my driveway can be poured.

1:52 am

gapeach

Ooo, the blackberries sound wonderful.

1:52 am

flosey

ah, that will be lovely, to have a nice driveway - ours is crushed stone - is a very long lane

1:54 am

flosey

hubby also makes a blackberry port which seems to be quite popular with friends

1:55 am

gapeach

That is so nice.

1:55 am

flosey

actually, he doesn't make it, takes them to a local brewer who makes it for us

1:55 am

flosey

he just has to do the bottling

1:56 am

gapeach

Well, I bet he enjoys doing it.

1:56 am

flosey

oh yes

1:57 am

gapeach

Of course, it needs to be tasted periodically....LOL

1:57 am

flosey

lol, he rather enjoys that part of it

2:07 am

gapeach

Someone is missing here.....it is Rose. Has she been on and I missed her?

2:08 am

puglet

Hello All

2:08 am

gapeach

Hi there, puglet.

2:09 am

flosey

hmmm, my response didn't post, I've just been in for about an hour, haven't seen Rose

2:09 am

flosey

hi Puglet

2:10 am

puglet

Hi Peach and Flosey

2:10 am

gapeach

hmm, hope all is well with her.

2:10 am

puglet

Are you feeling better today Peach

2:11 am

gapeach

Yes, thanks, pug. Just waiting for the raining to let up....forcast says we will be wet all week. LOL

2:12 am

puglet

Please send it our way!lal

2:13 am

flosey

and our way too, Peach, gardens need it - or, hubby has to get the pump going to water the gardens

2:13 am

gapeach

Wish I could.

2:14 am

puglet

we are getting pretty dry here. Hasent rain hardly at all this month

2:15 am

gapeach

I guess the crops are suffering then?

2:15 am

flosey

we've just had a few sprinkles, not enough to really do much good

2:16 am

jillibus

I have an irrigations system and my water bill must be stratospheric

2:16 am

flosey

we don't have huge crops Peach, just for ourselves and some friends

2:16 am

gapeach

Do you have a sprinkler system, flosey? I don't have much yard to water.

2:17 am

flosey

hubby has hoses running from the ponds near the gardens

2:17 am

puglet

I dont think so for right now because we got quite abit last month but the ground is cracking right now

2:17 am

flosey

the water is pumped up

2:17 am

jillibus

Sorry I've been absent -- had to do some emailing and kitchening. Now just need an 8 for nbs but have 5 bts!

2:18 am

gapeach

The young man who helps me says he is going to put one in my back yard so that I can water the roses. I have a few flowers on a table (of sorts) and some mint.

2:18 am

jillibus

flosey, you're lucky to have ponds -- I'm draining St Mary Lake :-(

2:18 am

flosey

the 8 is al8/40 comes from al5/10, 7/28 and 8/40

2:19 am

jillibus

I have Lickety, flosey!

2:19 am

flosey

we had them dug when we first moved here, Jilli

2:20 am

flosey

ok, so you must have al5/10? ET?

2:20 am

jillibus

yes, just not seeing the 7 & 8 yet

2:21 am

flosey

think that was the name of the al5 (there was a movie ) ah, add a couple of vowels, then pl

2:21 am

flosey

strange word imho

2:22 am

jillibus

ty flosey -- those are words????

2:22 am

jillibus

nbs :-)

2:23 am

flosey

so many of these strange words lately

2:27 am

gapeach

Indeed, flosey.

2:27 am

flosey

and linch is not accepted! how strange

2:28 am

jillibus

because it's lynch, I think, flosey

2:29 am

gapeach

I tried that also, flosey. Then I wondered if it is spelled lynch....

2:29 am

jillibus

it is, peach

2:29 am

flosey

but I googled it and it's there

2:30 am

jillibus

I'm blind to the en and es words -- any clues avaiable?

2:30 am

gapeach

Oh, then I wonder why it didn't take?

2:31 am

flosey

the other spelling would be the lynching - such as from the old western movies

2:31 am

jillibus

enable rules in mysterious ways

2:31 am

jillibus

what does linch mean, then?

2:31 am

jillibus

oh, as in linch-pin?

2:33 am

flosey

a ledge, a right angled projection

2:33 am

flosey

yes, there's the linchpin

2:33 am

jillibus

live and learn

2:35 am

flosey

thankfully, we're never too old - my only problem is remembering

2:35 am

jillibus

you seem to remember well here, flosey!

2:36 am

gapeach

LOL, I do believe that Babble helps us in many ways.

2:36 am

flosey

but here I have time to think - it's just when I'm mid sentence and a word I want just will not appear

2:37 am

flosey

it's misfiled somewhere in this head

2:37 am

gapeach

Our computers are on "overload", flosey.

2:38 am

gapeach

brb

2:38 am

grannyrose

jilli, en6 en7, what an actor/singer might do at the end of performance in response to audience good reaction.

2:38 am

flosey

2:38 am

grannyrose

en6, en + wealth

2:38 am

jillibus

same here, flosey -- and words I know perfectly well just disappear

2:38 am

flosey

2:38 am

jillibus

tyvm granny

2:39 am

grannyrose

es5, es + ***nel, heart of a fruit

2:43 am

jillibus

2:44 am

grannyrose

well, jilli, a rose by any other name....

2:44 am

puglet

Hi Jilli and sure Rose

2:44 am

jillibus

I have one blank E -- the one on the right. Help, please? I'm brain dead.

2:45 am

grannyrose

en6, en + ***n*min, a sweet spice

2:45 am

grannyrose

2:48 am

grannyrose

*giggle* ain't that the truth!

2:49 am

flosey

I've got to get to bed, very tired tonight

2:49 am

jillibus

rose,I must be thinking of the wrong spice because the one I got from your clue didn't come from that E. It's like a California town with a diff last vowel.

2:49 am

flosey

goodnight all, have fun with this grid, have 76 to go

2:49 am

grannyrose

jillibus

that E is still blank for me, flosey

2:50 am

grannyrose

ahhh, then the audience call to a good actor/singer should work

2:50 am

jillibus

gapeach

Sweet dreams, flosey.

2:57 am

sprite

hiya pug :) *hug*

2:57 am

puglet

thanks guys and back at ya

2:58 am

grannyrose

doing goodly here, and you, dear? still on the straight and narrow?

2:59 am

sprite

not fully. Ate two late sandwiches last night. But then again, if I could do this all by myself, why should I enlist the help of the clinic, right?

2:59 am

sprite

Ks killed

3:02 am

grannyrose

small step backwards is fi4, dear. you must learn to crawl before you run.

3:04 am

puglet

Do you know why you did Sprite?

3:04 am

sprite

I try. Guess that is all one can do. Son is making it extra hard by being a pita again. Triggering lots of old memories.

3:05 am

sprite

yep. Son was agressive and was gesturing right in front of my face... had to tell him to step back, which he did, but the damage is done by then.

3:07 am

joso

Is this the same kid I sent the comics too sprite?

3:08 am

sprite

yes joso, the very same. Quite a bit older though now.

3:08 am

joso

I imagine, how old now?

3:08 am

puglet

Sprite maybe having things on hand that are healthier could help--like carrot sticks or apples

3:08 am

grannyrose

um, sprite does he have ADHD?

3:09 am

sprite

he is 17 yo

3:09 am

sprite

no rose, nothing like that.

3:09 am

sprite

pug, thanks for helping :)

3:09 am

grannyrose

so it's just the raging hormones.

3:10 am

joso

older teen, always rough, and I bet stressed as you are by family troubles

3:10 am

sprite

yep. Just that, sigh.

3:11 am

sprite

probably, joso. And making them worse by his reaction to them. Which is also normal in teens.

3:12 am

joso

I wish I could do more than wish you well sprite.

3:13 am

sprite

and how are you all today?

3:13 am

joso

all well here

3:13 am

sprite

thanks joso, you are doing a lot by that :) Thanks all for caring. Makes all the difference.

3:13 am

sprite

good to hear!

3:15 am

joso

are you dutch by birth sprite?

3:15 am

puglet

Iam worried about you Sprite and I would like to say more as your friend but dont want to hurt your feelings. so I will just pray for you----but Iam good and I would be better if we got some rain and the 90's would stay away-lol

3:16 am

sprite

born and raised, joso :)

3:16 am

joso

I am so impressed by your skill with english

3:17 am

sprite

pug, feel free to say whatever to me, and if you prefer email, that is great too. Thanks for your prayers. Great to hear you are good... hoping with you for a bit cooler weather and some rain.

3:17 am

sprite

thanks, joso. I learned so much here in babble chog.

3:19 am

puglet

Sprite has your sugar came down any?

3:19 am

sprite

rose, you still with us, hun?

3:19 am

grannyrose

yes, dear.

3:20 am

sprite

ok, didn't mean to hog the chog :) Glad you are. How is the knee? And how are you all in all?

3:21 am

grannyrose

doing well today, thanx, sprite. the knee is improving with the enforced rest, because of left ankle.

3:22 am

puglet

whats wrong with the ankle?

3:22 am

sprite

that is a good thing. Must drive you crazy to have to rest so much, I bet... such an active person as yourself.

3:23 am

sprite

oh pug, about the sugar: I don't know yet. Have to make a new appointment with the doctor and will probably have to do new blood tests then.

3:23 am

grannyrose

pugs, ligaments sore because i am favouring the right leg in the splint. i put extra weight on the left, so that the right knee doesn't hurt so much.

3:24 am

sprite

a true work-related injury, that one

3:24 am

puglet

Sprite dont you have a tester to test yourself

3:24 am

grannyrose

what pugs asked, sprite.

3:25 am

sprite

not yet, pug. It is all so new still. Am calling the doctor today for a new appointment and also for an appointment with the diabetes nurse.

3:25 am

sprite

I do have meds now, but they take a while to get to maximum effectivity

3:27 am

puglet

are you taking shots Sprite

3:27 am

sprite

no, tablets, pug

3:27 am

puglet

well thats good

3:28 am

sprite

metformine is the name.

3:28 am

puglet

It may be mild enough that you can get it under controll before it gets to shots

3:29 am

joso

pain in the butt disease sprite, changing lifestyle is hard

3:29 am

sprite

that would be so good. Weight loss is essential for that.

3:29 am

sprite

true, joso. I have enlisted help... not able to do it all by myself.

3:29 am

puglet

yes it plays a big factor as does exercise and the right foods

3:31 am

puglet

If you can get your own tester Sprite you can see what foods triggers your sugar to raise

3:32 am

sprite

good idea, pug, will ask for that

3:33 am

grannyrose

yes, and you can also see what activities bring it down.

3:33 am

joso

really worth doing though, can virtually eliminate it if caught early and react right, otherwise the pain in the butt factor only increases, more drugs, shots, more rigorous diet. You can save yourself a lot of bother if you react well now.

3:33 am

puglet

I know on my sister that things with alot of white flour triggers hers and potatoes are a biggie and pasta and breads

3:34 am

puglet

thats so true Joso

3:35 am

puglet

its a constant rollercoaster with my sister. She takes four shots a day

3:36 am

sprite

am doing all I can to prevent that. Joso, I have an eating disorder and physical handicaps, so losing weight is not easy. Am going to a clinic for eating disorders, or will soon, have started up the intake.

3:37 am

grannyrose

sprite, just what are you capable of doing physically? if you would prefer to email, and not here, i understand.

3:39 am

sprite

walk and ride a bike, mostly. Overtaxing means two days severe pain and having to rest.

3:41 am

puglet

Pain where? legs?

3:41 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you have access to a stationary bike?

3:41 am

puglet

thats more then Rose can do right now-lal (just had to say that)

3:42 am

joso

any possibility of swimming? Low impact but still great exercise

3:42 am

grannyrose

pffft, pugs

3:43 am

sprite

rose: no, I don't.
pug: pelvic girdle. Back, hips, pelvic bone.
joso: I love to swim, but getting there, undressing, swimming and drying and dressing is a problem. Too much.

3:43 am

puglet

Joso is right about the water. Even if you cant swim arobices would be good

3:44 am

grannyrose

lol, poor sprite we are coming at her from all sides.

3:45 am

puglet

we are her friends and we want to fix her=lal its all love!

3:45 am

puglet

how about investing in your own pool?

3:45 am

sprite

I love you guys for caring :)

3:47 am

sprite

lollll own pool? No room for that...

3:48 am

sprite

ok, in the meantime I have called the doctor... monday morning I have a new appt with her and with the diabetes nurse. And I called the clinic and the shrink and if all goes well, I will be on the waiting list as soon as they have all data. And the waiting list is relatively short right now, it would be end of september for me. Which is when my current treatment stops.

3:49 am

grannyrose

sprite, a stationary bike would allow you to hop anytime you like. start out with only a minimum amount of resistance, and build up as you tolerate.

3:49 am

puglet

great!

3:50 am

sprite

sounds like a plan, rose. Will try to find one we can afford. Did I tell you I have a real bike too now? Bought a used one last week.

3:50 am

puglet

can you get down on the floor to do any exercises

3:50 am

sprite

lol probably but I wouldn't be able to get back up.

3:51 am

puglet

I dont know if you got stores with used things like a Goodwill store--but you might try them or yardsales for one

3:52 am

grannyrose

sprite, go girl. plenty of second-hand on4 available on the internet. that's where i found mine. the newer models also tell you how many calories you have burned up, how many kilometers you have ridden. i got such a buzz when i hit 10 k's one day.

3:52 am

sprite

will do, good idea. I could watch tv while biking... or even read a book :D

3:53 am

grannyrose

exactly sprite. set it up in front of a window area. if nothing good on tv, watch real li4, in the street.

3:53 am

puglet

well Sprite floundering trying to get up thats exercising-lol (I know)

3:54 am

puglet

yeah she could watch those men fixing her road!

3:54 am

grannyrose

or listen to a fave cd....tune out the world....

3:55 am

sprite

:D

3:57 am

puglet

Sprite if you walk its important to get good shoes. Good shoes can make a difference to your back and other bones

3:57 am

puglet

get no slip soles so you dont end up like Rose-lol

3:59 am

lynxxx

Hello girls

4:00 am

puglet

morning Lyn

4:00 am

sprite

hiya lyn :) xxx

4:01 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite - sorry to see you are battling health issues

4:01 am

sprite

yeah, no fun. But not as serious as some others here.

4:02 am

lynxxx

Hard to make those lifestyle changes though.

4:03 am

sprite

yes it is. And some other issues that complicate matters. But I have enlisted help and am positive I will be able to do what is needed.

4:04 am

lynxxx

Have you looked a local gyms - I found a good local cheap one that had reduced rates because I could go during the day (off-peak). It suits me very well. I am not very good at maintaining exercise routines at home

4:05 am

sprite

might look into that as well, but first must find out which treatment at the clinic will be best for me. I might go intern for a couple of weeks.

4:06 am

lynxxx

intern?

4:06 am

sprite

here's hoping they have wifi there :D

4:07 am

joso

sounds like you have great support systems in the netherlands

4:07 am

lynxxx

hi Joso

4:07 am

sprite

yes, they have a special treatment for people with both an eating disorder and other psychological problems. Ptsd qualifies. If so, I will be there from monday till friday, for 8 weeks.

4:08 am

sprite

we do, joso. And I am very grateful for that.

4:09 am

sprite

and you, lyn, how are you doing today?

4:09 am

lynxxx

Well I know you would miss your man -but that sounds great! Taking you out of your usual environment would be a great way to start.

4:10 am

grannyrose

ooh, ouch, pugs. just come on over here...will give you non-slip, right about there, where the sun don't shine....LOLOL

4:10 am

sprite

I think so too. I would miss my family very much, but I go home in the weekends then... so it will be worth it.

4:10 am

lynxxx

I am well - going thru a quiet spell for the last few months and I still don't seem to have enough time to do 'stuff'

4:10 am

sprite

lol rose :)

4:10 am

grannyrose

hey lyn

4:11 am

sprite

hehehe :) Busier than when you still worked?

4:11 am

lynxxx

hi Rose

4:11 am

joso

this chat has inspired me, looked up local pools and am going to go to one tomorrow, try to do every day.

4:11 am

sprite

wow joso, that is marvellous!

4:12 am

grannyrose

and i just realised my last certificate gives me time to do something i wanted to do when i was on leave.

4:12 am

puglet

rotfl Rose----thats so good Joso

4:12 am

grannyrose

yay, joso. well done

4:13 am

joso

much easier giving advice than actually getting up off my butt and doing, but I really should.

4:13 am

lynxxx

WEll when I worked I had some=one do the housework once a week and paid others to do stuff around when I didn't have the time. Not so anymore.

4:13 am

puglet

I wish I was close enough to do something like that

4:13 am

sprite

rose, what is a certificate?

4:13 am

grannyrose

sprite, workcover medical certificate

4:13 am

sprite

yeah, that would fill up quite a bit of your free time, lyn.

4:14 am

sprite

is that like a doctor who says your boss has to pay your salary while you are home on medical grounds?

4:16 am

grannyrose

sort of...it tells the insurance company employed by my work company, that i need to be paid to have time off, so that ankle can heal.

4:16 am

lynxxx

what is the latest with you Rose?

4:16 am

grannyrose

but thay aren't listening

4:16 am

sprite

right, thanks. It is a bit different from the dutch regulation. I get it now.

4:16 am

grannyrose

*they*

4:17 am

sprite

still not? How dense can they be? Is your DIL helping you?

4:17 am

grannyrose

i have to have an independent medical exam, as the ankle is a consequential injury, to my knee.

4:18 am

grannyrose

sprite, all good things come to those who wait...and i have the patience of Job.

4:18 am

sprite

a lot of bother, but at least any doctor worth his salt must be of the same opinion.

4:19 am

grannyrose

hope so, sprite

4:19 am

sprite

hehehe rose, I know you do... as long as it doesn't mean sitting around patiently and resting the legs... ;)

4:19 am

lynxxx

Are you coping with all this OK? although I guess you have seen lots of others go through the same stuff

4:21 am

sprite

quick of mind, eye, hand and nose,
our grannyrose
but when it comes to her job
she has the patience of Job

4:22 am

lynxxx

very cute Sprite

4:22 am

sprite

couldn't resist, sorry.

4:22 am

grannyrose

LOLOLOL....

4:24 am

puglet

could I please have a clue for the es and the eo words

4:25 am

sprite

es + hand***chief for blowing our noses

4:25 am

grannyrose

lyn, i break down at times. 2 weekends ago was bad. cried both mornings, the 2nd one was at church. not a pretty sight...snot and tears, and fumbling in bag to find a tissue.

4:25 am

joso

es5 glacial deposit

4:26 am

lynxxx

oh dear ((Rose))

4:26 am

grannyrose

eo6, eo + ***r, fibber + single hump

4:26 am

puglet

thanks guys got it

4:26 am

sprite

breaking down at times is part of being able to handle this, rose... you need to get it out every now and again. It is way too much to bear otherwise.

4:27 am

puglet

and what better place then at church

4:27 am

lynxxx

a good cry is good - always

4:28 am

grannyrose

sprite, i am okay with the pain in knee and ankle...it's when the pain in my muscles in my back starts up, that's when i lose it.

4:28 am

Soodle

A good bawl is sometimes very cathartic. Morning all. :-)

4:28 am

lynxxx

hi Soodle

4:28 am

joso

hi snoodle

4:28 am

grannyrose

well g'day soodle. long time no see

4:28 am

sprite

of course. I can relate, rose... when it gets to that point, it just becomes way too much and you worry about it and lose hope for a little while.

4:29 am

sprite

hiya Soodle :) *hug*

4:30 am

puglet

I was down last night(no one reason) so I went to Daily strength and read other peoples problems and mine seemed so small that I felt bad for thinking "poor me"

4:30 am

puglet

Hi Snoodle

4:30 am

grannyrose

well, yeah...sprite. thanx. and also thanx to pugs, lyn and soodle. be assured i am okay with this.

4:31 am

sprite

pug... if I may say so... other people's problems should never make you feel bad for taking your own seriously. Don't compare too much. You are entitled to taking your own problems seriously. Always.

4:31 am

Soodle

My daughter's Debs Ball (Prom ) is tonight. Todays gonna be one long flurry of hair appointments, nail appointments, fake tanning etc! Sheesh, I went to my own debs with a unibrow & self applied make up in a dressmy mom made!

4:32 am

sprite

*hugs rose* You will be. But it is ok to break down occasionally :)

4:32 am

sprite

hehehe Soodle :) Gratz on your daughter! Nice mile stone.

4:32 am

Soodle

Always so good to see Babblers putting a positive spinon their troubles. :-)

4:33 am

sprite

we battle and don't give up or in, Soodle :)

4:33 am

jwr

what I say (again) is EEKS

4:33 am

grannyrose

yeah, soodle. and yet you will give your daughter all she wants, because you didn't have it. we all give our kids what we never had. it's natural.

4:33 am

puglet

Are you getting the treatments too Soodle as a mother/daughter thing

4:34 am

sprite

yes and again eeks is not valid. I know. I tried again too.

4:34 am

grannyrose

g'day jwr

4:34 am

Soodle

I wish, Pugs. I'm merely the payer & driver!

4:35 am

jwr

hi rose hwar ya?

4:35 am

grannyrose

as is the way, always, soodle.

4:35 am

grannyrose

jwr, today is a good one, thanx

4:36 am

jwr

glad to hear it. Reminding of "mother/daughter" relationships, I don't need. Poor soodle.

4:36 am

Soodle

Anyway,gotta go. Lovely to see y'all, & keep those collective ch 5/14 up!

4:37 am

sprite

bye Soodle, will try to keep up all mine ;)
Have a good one.

4:37 am

4:42 am

lynxxx

4:44 am

grannyrose

love lamb...chicken is my fave, in any shape or form...including eggs.lol

grannyrose

4:45 am

sprite

:D true... we would do well together at the dinner table :)

4:46 am

puglet

are you guys coffee or tea drinkers

4:46 am

grannyrose

hmmm, pork also good, although i get to have it rarely.as chops or roast, or ribs. it upsets himself's delicate gut.

4:46 am

lynxxx

4:46 am

sprite

both for me

4:47 am

grannyrose

fresh coffee only, love english grey earl tea, or green tea.

4:48 am

puglet

4:48 am

Hi again; had to go play with grandson until we got too worn out from the heat and humidity. Thank Goodness for A/C!

4:38 pm

Nef

I need 2 letters (vowels of course) for NBT: the 4th row "I" and the right column "E". Could someone please help?

4:39 pm

Soodle

Phew. Utterly exhausted, but content, after seeing the youngest offspring off on her debs/prom night. She looked sensational, & I was only a teensy bit weepy. Result!!

4:39 pm

MollyL

I think the right column E is en6/21 and 7/32

4:39 pm

MollyL

*Passes Soodle a tissue and a glass of wine*

4:40 pm

Soodle

I have both already, Molls, but thank you!

4:40 pm

THanks, Molly. Looking now..

4:40 pm

MollyL

You can never have too many of either.

4:41 pm

Soodle

So true.

4:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

4:42 pm

Soodle

Hello TO. :-)

4:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi soods

4:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok so if friends got married monday just w/family, do i send a card now or wait for the reception in september?

4:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

they have two residences so I am not sure where to send it

4:45 pm

Soodle

Maybe a card now, TO, & the gift in September? But I'm not sure about the protocol in the US....

4:45 pm

Nef

Thanks, Molly; just got those en 6/7 now! NOw for that I...

4:46 pm

Nef

TO; how about a quick email now and the card for the reception?

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will see them on friday i think.

4:49 pm

MollyL

I vote for card now and gift in September.

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

he mentioned that the wedding monday was just family and told me the date and place for the reception. I spoouse there is no guarantee i will be invited but i think it will be a big party at the irish club

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

so there will be a crowd.

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

to whose residence do i send the card?

4:51 pm

Nef

well, then a card on Friday would be in order I think. Was it a surprise to friends or did you know ahead of time about the wedding (but not the date)?

4:51 pm

Nef

If you see them on Friday, by all means give it to them in person.

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

it just was planned in the last two weeks. i have not been around them until just last friday

4:52 pm

Soodle

Ongoing problem with my photo uploading! But for those of you with flexible necks.... Here's Suzie in all her glory...

4:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

they got engaged and married within the week

4:53 pm

Nef

WOW, TO. That was quick then.

4:53 pm

MollyL

Beautiful Soodle.

4:53 pm

tabbycat

Sounds like my parents. They only knew each other for 9 days before they got married.

4:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think one can re se4, btw, even i enable does not. :/

4:53 pm

Nef

And Soodle; your daughter is very pretty!

4:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, he said her health insurance was running out and was too expensive solo...the dilemmas of modern love!

4:54 pm

Nef

tabbycat, did they get married during the war or ??? (I knew DH for 14 months before we got married and even that was a bit short)

4:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

they have been a couple for years.

4:55 pm

tabbycat

Right after WWII

4:56 pm

Nef

oh, my, TO. My DIL married my son for health insurance coverage (she says now); and that hasn't been a pleasant marriage.

4:56 pm

Soodle

I'll remove the neck-twisting pic shortly, but I have to let y'all know, she's not just a pretty face. She got accepted for college last Monday!!! Now, who wants to but a kidney? Lol

4:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

ne: they have been together for years. i don't think this is the same thing

4:57 pm

MollyL

But a kidney??

4:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

say what???

4:58 pm

Nef

well, that's good then, TO. And maybe the health insurance thing was just the thing to nudge them to do it then. :-)

4:59 pm

Soodle

Or an arm, a leg, perhaps... I have 2 of each.....

4:59 pm

Nef

Soodle, I don't understand. What is that?

5:00 pm

MollyL

Oh buy a kidney. Soodle is selling body parts to raise college tuition money.

5:00 pm

Soodle

Lol Nef. I'm expressing alarm at the cost of College fees.

5:01 pm

MollyL

Mine had to do it with student loans. Such is the life of the middle class.

5:01 pm

Nef

LOL! I'm a bit slow some days; but that totally threw me for a minute

5:02 pm

tabbycat

Mine too, Molly, plus working. Daughter got hers paid off but son is still working on it.

5:03 pm

BzznBea

We managed to pay for my daughters' college but it took four parents to get it done.

5:03 pm

Soodle

Nope. My typo was a bit scary!!! So! What am I offered for a liver? I have a brain on offer also. Barely used!!!!!

5:04 pm

MollyL

Oh good luck selling that alcohol sodden liver.

5:04 pm

tabbycat

Daughter had scholarships to help out and son had grants. He prefered to have fun in HS ;-)

5:06 pm

Soodle

Yup. The unused brain is probably more valuable.

5:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

time ti think about dinner. bbl

5:08 pm

Nef

Both of my kids had school loans and our str had the $$$ we'd saved to help her too. Our son got into our savings for his education, spent it without our knowledge; and ended up having to pay for college on his own (he got an AA degree in something at "Brown University" he did get a good education and graduated at the top of his class; but his 2 yrs cost $50,000, which was a bit more than our str had for her 4 yr education (not that she managed to graduate, mind you.....

5:09 pm

MollyL

Wow, he used your savings without your knowledge?

5:09 pm

Nef

(str= daughter; I'll blame spell check for that)

5:10 pm

Nef

well, we'd been saving for his college education since he was born; so technically it *may* have been his? He was a dumb-assed kid from 18-22 years old and now regrets it (and both kids are ADHD)

5:10 pm

tabbycat

We helped as much as we could but it wasn't much. Both kids had to work while they went to school. That didn't hurt them any though

5:13 pm

Nef

yeah, our kids had to work through school too. We were really good at saving for the big-ticket items in our kids' lives: braces and college funds. But it wasn't easy and it wasn't a free ride by any means

5:14 pm

MollyL

I know people who have taken out second mortgages to put their kids through school and the kids have crappy jobs (not in their degree field) to show for it.

5:15 pm

tabbycat

My son paid most of his own way working as a server and bartender. Got his degree in economics and finance and graduated just when the bottom fell out of that. So he kept working at restaurants and bars until just recently when he got a job in his field.

5:16 pm

tabbycat

Daughter got an internship while in school that evolved into a job in her field. She was lucky.

5:17 pm

Nef

we didn't do that (thank goodness!) And we didn't give up our retirement funds for the kids either. Both DH and I worked out way through college and both kids knew that they would have to also. But the cost of college education when DH and I went to school has grown far beyond what anyone expected and it was scary to think of kids being saddled with huge debts for their lives (like our son is now with his school loans)

5:18 pm

phandmd

our kids have gone/go to state colleges, we pay 10K/year and they pay about 10K also. They also must maintain a 3.0 gpa or lose the money. They can get it back if they bring the gpa back up though.

5:18 pm

tabbycat

I know what you mean. When I was in college the tuition was less than $200 a semester

5:19 pm

tabbycat

That was at a state college

5:20 pm

phandmd

so, popped in but popping out to go out for dinner. see you later.

5:23 pm

Nef

I know my 3 years of nursing school cost under $1000 for everything; but because I also worked in an underserved area for 3 years and got a discount from the government for that; I'd paid off my school loans in less than 4 years (and I was earning just $2.50/ hr as an RN back then.)

I remember the fires of '89. Terrible

7:59 pm

trentsnana

Wasn't it 88? When over 30% of the park burned?

7:59 pm

trentsnana

I know 2000 was bad, too, here in Montana.

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

typo....you are correct

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

I thought the Old Faithful Inn was a gonner...

8:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is awful

8:00 pm

trentsnana

I guess that's the only thing they will protect - the buildings, otherwise they just let it burn.

8:00 pm

Jillyjill

Especially here in the Bitterroot. Horrid infact. I couldn't see the grade school lest than 100 yards from our house

8:01 pm

trentsnana

That IS bad

8:02 pm

Jillyjill

there's a bad one in Lolo. Many evacuations. So far more smell than smoke, but I am sure that will change,

8:03 pm

trentsnana

None in our county so far. Hubby has to fight them when there is one, since he works for the road department. He has to cut fire lines with his grader. Hate it when he is out all night on one.

8:03 pm

Jillyjill

Scary work...I don't blame you. Are you still relocating?

8:04 pm

trentsnana

Next year we will move back to Michigan, if the house sells.

8:04 pm

MollyL

Glad you mentioned thyroid Jill. So many doctors don't check for that and an under active thyroid can make you very tired.

8:04 pm

trentsnana

Stats for the 8?

8:04 pm

Jillyjill

al8/40

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was tested several years ago, it was fi4. had same symptoms then

8:06 pm

Jillyjill

Time can change things TO. Mine just came back off from yearly health screening. Repeating it at end of month.

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

had same symptoms when thyroid was ok

8:07 pm

Jillyjill

<------------------------!!FW!!

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay!

8:08 pm

trentsnana

Okay, Jilly - a clue for the 8? LOL I'm giving up easily tonight.

8:08 pm

penquis

ones who are feeling left out...

8:09 pm

penquis

congrats, jill!

8:09 pm

wht

al8 is a plural of the al7. Maybe they are Elecrical Engineers from Mars?

8:09 pm

MollyL

It's still worth getting re-checked TO. Mine was fine years ago too. Last physical it came up incredibly low.

8:09 pm

wht

wtg jilly

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

and fw

8:09 pm

penquis

haha...good one

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

once a long time ago they mentioned possible ms.

8:10 pm

penquis

congrats, TO!

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

That bears following up on as well TO

8:10 pm

trentsnana

I have the singular mars people and the plural - cannot see what else...

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT TO!!

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

night everyone, happy babbling

8:11 pm

joso

sleepy after eating, especially after a big meal. I would look into diabetes.

8:11 pm

penquis

g'nite...

8:12 pm

wht

trentsnana, it comes right in between those two.

8:12 pm

penquis

trentsnana....ones who are feeling al***ated....

8:12 pm

trentsnana

Gotcha - thanks

8:12 pm

penquis

yw...

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

sleepy after runnung around for 6 hours straight and having only a piece of pizza. i don't think that qualifies

8:14 pm

penquis

well i have found as i have gotten older that i have to eat more regularly....

8:15 pm

MollyL

Alas, age does factor into your fatigue levels.

8:15 pm

penquis

otherwise, i feel a little faint...

8:16 pm

Jillyjill

Whooops, sorry Trentsnana, I missed your request. TY wht and penquis for stepping in!

8:16 pm

wht

Fireworks

8:16 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT wht!

8:16 pm

penquis

congrats!

8:21 pm

MollyL

So many things can factor into chronic fatigue. Being female and feeling like you "have to get it all done" doesn't help either. : )

8:24 pm

penquis

and there is always sleep apnea....i did overnight testing for that...

8:27 pm

Jillyjill

Welcome to the free Babble on line Free Clinic...LOL

8:29 pm

MollyL

All just suggestions. It's always better see a doctor and not consult the internet or people on it for health issues.

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

At least we give great things to put on a list for the health care practioner!
