1:11 am
rbud
plus she got to come out here and see the remodelling progress, she'd been wondering about it.
1:11 am
rbud
and a big wad of pink carnations, and she's happy.
1:12 am

A drive in the country can make anyone happy the crountry is beautifull place and were in america do u live

2:49 am
puglet

2:49 am
grannyrose
NOT THE POPCORN!!! never the popcorn, she wouldn't dare...

Great thing being Jewish. Most celebrations revolve around food!
2:50 am

2:52 am

2:53 am

2:54 am
joso
my mom made some once to give away for halloween, only about half ever got out of the house
2:54 am
Lizlin
Less keen on salted, so won't fight you for that but wouldn't say no.
2:55 am
puglet
Rose have you ever bought some from the store and mic it on low for a few sec? it soften it and its so much yummier
2:56 am
grannyrose
hmmm, sounds like an interesting idea, pugs. must try it when i am allowed to eat it again.
2:56 am
joso
but what have you against chocolate covered grasshoppers pug.... mmmmmm chunchy
2:56 am
grannyrose
good grief, liz, total fire ban in your area tomorrow.
2:57 am
puglet

2:57 am
puglet
you having a drought Liz
2:58 am
Lizlin
Yes! It's been hot and pretty windy today. Tweed has had total ban for last week.
2:58 am
grannyrose
that's okay, pugs. i draw the line at witchety grubs here.
2:58 am
Lizlin
Had rain for one day in last 2 months.
2:58 am
puglet
we had a drought last summer and the one before it
2:59 am
Lizlin
No drought yet but pretty dry here.
2:59 am
grannyrose
still raining most days down here...
3:00 am
puglet
are you in summer Rose or another season
3:00 am
joso
just looked as some witchety grub pix, I think that's a fine line to draw rose
3:00 am
grannyrose
oh, and you'll never guess what!!
3:01 am
grannyrose
hospital putting mother mac into rehab for 2 weeks.
3:01 am
puglet
only bugs or worms I would eat are the gummy kind
3:01 am
puglet
good, that will give Don time to get well
3:01 am
grannyrose
pugs, supposed to be spring...
3:02 am
Lizlin
That's good news. More of a break for you and don :)
3:02 am
puglet
we just went into fall
3:02 am
joso
thats great rose, everybody gets a chance to fully recover
3:02 am
Lizlin
And more time to build up your strength.
3:02 am
puglet
Joso is your seasons the same as mine
3:02 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs. i just want him well, too. if he remembers to take the cough mixture i bought, the cough isn't too bad.
3:03 am
puglet
that a plus! and maybe you can get your surgery and be about well by her return too
3:03 am
joso
yes, probably a bit cooler but close enough
3:04 am
grannyrose
now that would be nice....dream on, pugs
3:05 am
joso
you need some rehab time after surgery don't you rose, no hopping up and doing cartwheels right away
3:05 am
puglet
well sometimes dreams do come true!
3:06 am
Lizlin
And no running about after m-I-l!
3:06 am
grannyrose
joso, i'll be up, weight-bearing the next day.
3:06 am
puglet
surely not back to work though
3:07 am
puglet
are they keeping you in the hospital for a few days
3:07 am
joso
wow, i would have thought they would want some healing before using knee again.
3:10 am
joso
so, it needs light exercise to heal usefully, and weight bearing as soon as possible
3:11 am
grannyrose
no, pugs, this time i can take it easy about returning to work. and joso, i was up the next day, following a total knee replacement.
3:11 am
grannyrose
yes, joso, we know exercise increases the blood supply, which increase the rate of healing.
3:13 am
joso
thats really surprising, a good thing though, better than being laid up for weeks.
3:13 am
grannyrose
yup, and as soon as the wound is healed, and i get the okay from the surgeon, i will be back in the hydrotherapy pool.
3:15 am
joso
Is there much pain, when I had minor chest surgery I was surprised how much it hurt to use my arms. Amd it turns out I use my arms for just about everything
3:16 am
grannyrose
not this time, joso. only skin pain, no bone pain. i can handle skin pain.
3:17 am
puglet
just what are they going in to do, Rose
3:17 am
grannyrose
after the total knee, yes it was painful. i know what to expect now, and how to tell the nurses how to help me get up.
3:18 am
grannyrose
pugs, in the top of the tibial prosthesis is a plastic disc, which the femoral prosthesis sits on. surgeon going to replace plastic disc with a thicker one, so that the femoral prosthesis will not be able to slip.
3:19 am
joso
only other surgery I've ever had was tonsils as a kid. Remember feeling totally ripped off. Promises of endless ice cream, but they don't tell you you don't want to eat anything, by the time you want the ice cream it's too late, the offer has expired. lol
3:20 am
puglet
did you damage the one you have in the fall?
3:21 am
joso
What do they promise you rose, endless cabana boys to chase, whom evaporate just as you are making good speed
3:22 am
grannyrose
pugs, i slipped on a wet floor at work. my foot skidded backwards, and i fell onto my knee, then my leg skewed out to the side. that tore the ligament which holds your knee in alignment.
3:23 am
puglet
did you just damage the one knee
3:23 am
joso
that sounds painful just reading about it
3:24 am
grannyrose
joso, what a bummer, dude! robbing a kid of his ice-cream!! well, really, what were they thinking?
3:25 am
joso
My thoughts exactly, they said I was fine now, tried to suppon up a cough but it just wasn't there
3:26 am
grannyrose
well, once i had the splint on, i tr5 walking around at work. but the splint made me favour my right leg, which put strain on my left ankle. which had major joint surgery about 5 years ago. it was fully recovered, but now i have soft tissue injury there because of how i walk with the splint on.
3:28 am
grannyrose
the obvious solution this time was to repair the ligament. but the surgeon and i both know that is out of the question, as my ligaments are too old to repair.
3:29 am
puglet
so now this upcoming surgery is going to cause to repeat putting more pressure on the bad ankle, then what? A surgery to repair that?
3:30 am
joso
maybe no splint this time, crutches or walker as things heal instead?
3:30 am
grannyrose
pugs, we are hoping that with this surgery i will be able to walk normally again. i will be walking with crutches for some time.
3:30 am
puglet

When I was in 1st grade, 5 yrs old, we had a class "field trip" and the whole class walked to our store, close to a mile away, and my father gave all the kids ice cream and candy.
3:37 am
grannyrose
ruby, that reminds me of when the parents owned a local store. they sold orange juice with crushed ice in it. delish on a hot day.
3:38 am
grannyrose
and they had a huge walk in refrigerator. i would sit in there, on a crate of soft drink, sipping iced orange juice.

4:00 am
rubyfoo
I was very lucky, had wonderful parents
4:01 am
grannyrose
*giggle* me too, but my parents get saying, rose, we want you to keep talking while serving the sweeties.
4:01 am
puglet

4:10 am
puglet
I find that hard to grip-joso
4:11 am
puglet
did you take ballet classes Rose
4:12 am
grannyrose
oh for goodness sake....they are reporting global warming as a major disaster. documented evidence shows this is a normal cycle.
4:13 am
grannyrose
yes, dear pugs. i was qualified to either enter the australian ballet company or teach. nursing called louder.
4:13 am
puglet
has your weather there been abnormal Rose
4:13 am
joso
true none the less pug, always reading, dicovered games as a teen, made friends over the gameboard that I have to this day. A game gives you something to do instead of awkward conversational pauses
4:13 am
puglet
are you sorry for the choice you made
4:14 am
grannyrose
not really pugs...yes it is warmer, but it is a normal cycle, well documented.
4:14 am
grannyrose
dinner ready. will chat later if you are here. xoxox
4:14 am

Alleyn58
apologies for capitals
6:31 am
lbdawger
I'm doing well, GR. has a surgery date been set?
6:32 am
lbdawger
Oh dear, Alleyn, check out some of the fbro support groups, they will have some ideas on how to help as well as what NOT to do.
6:33 am
grannyrose
awww, alleyn. so difficult to deal with as an adult...doubly hard for a ch5.
6:33 am
Alleyn58
Yes we know about these but we gather than in the US it is used as a diagnosis that in the UK is often called a virus so we are trying not to use the net too much. She has a brilliant pain consultant but mentally she is not great.
6:34 am
grannyrose
ibd, still waiting, hun. will call workcover insurance people next monday.
6:35 am
grannyrose
alleyn, available from the us is a natural medication, called anatrin. it is the best thing i have found for FM. the company is called progressive health. just look, please.
6:38 am
grannyrose
the original medication my GP put me on, took me 12 weeks to get off. it was supposed to be non-addictive...
6:40 am
Alleyn58
That looks like well worth a shot. She is currently taking Gabapentin which doesn't appear to be useful. My daughter will take some convincing to try a natural remedy on her daughter.......
6:40 am
grannyrose
alleyn, your grand-daughter is not producing seritonin, a mood stabiliser chemical. that is why she cannot handle what is happening to her body.
6:41 am
grannyrose
if you can, print out the info. it explains how each component works to help FM sufferers .
6:43 am
Alleyn58
Will do that along with your input for which I am personally really grateful. Thank you.
6:43 am
grannyrose
the progressive health site has a 'contact us' link. you could ask them about dosage etc
6:45 am
Alleyn58
Thank you so much. Knowledge is always good. How are you and when did you develop it.
6:46 am
grannyrose
all i know is that i now sleep most of each night, am pretty much pain-free, and no longer drug-dependent. mostly mood is stable. and could you suggest to your daughter that what may help her daughter is a japanese hot tub.
6:47 am
grannyrose
alleyn i have been diagnosed for about 10 years, have had it for over 30 years. the positive note for your grand-daughter is that she may 'grow' out of it.
6:48 am
Alleyn58
We have fingers and toes crossed, grannyrose. Thank you so much for all this and the ch5 clue!
6:49 am
grannyrose
alleyn, take note of my email addy, in my profile. email me any time, put babble in subject, and i will know to respond.
6:52 am
grannyrose
it is so typical of FM to rear it's ugly he4 during puberty. there is lots of info around, and the more you acquaint yourself with it, the easier it is to deal with. good luck, hun, and know that my prayers are with you all.
6:53 am
grannyrose
my FM was initiated by early menopause...again a time of great hormonal turmoil.
6:57 am
ivesy3
i wonder if that med would work on headaches.
6:59 am
grannyrose
g'day ives. don't think so. do you know what the trigger is for your headaches?
7:02 am
ivesy3
morning granny.. i think its tension. rite in middle of forehead. then just gets worse. thinking of trying excedrin for tension
7:04 am
grannyrose
ives, pure rose oil is very good for tension. just rub a little on the inside of your wrists. it is expensive, but definitely worth a try. also have you tr5 chamomile tea?
7:05 am
grannyrose
or lavender oil is another option.
7:05 am
lbdawger
tadone!! finito!! must be off...time to get ready for work. hagd/evening everyone!

hi, all. A short while ago, I posted here about our new kithen range and what a challenge it has een to learn to use the cooktop, which is glass/ceramic. I am happy to say we have been doing quite well with it. I am getting rid of some of our old pots and pans, but we have replaced those with new pieces from Le Creuset...pricey, but very high-quality.
9:15 am
car.eeyore
apparently.
9:15 am
car.eeyore
Hi Angel! Glad to hear it is working out.
9:16 am
Angelsong
it has been like learning to cook again, but I am quite happy with utm and keeping it clean has been fairly easy.

Well the trip was an emergency one. They thought my gdaughter had a tumor in her back, and it was making her spine grow crooked
9:46 am
kje
phae - I have the vi5/24 pertaining to a french rule... what is the other?
9:46 am
phaeton
Turns out it wasn't a tumor, but an infection in her T5 vertebrae. Japan has socialized medicine and she would have had to wait months for surgery. Over there they use chemo for tumors even if they are benign
9:47 am
hego
really! i wonder why.
9:47 am
phaeton
So they flew her to San Diego, and she had the surgery the day after she got there. Nwo they are here in the states waiting for the rest of the family to join them
9:48 am

hi Glant. Have you been away?
11:17 am
Glantarell
Not away bichon, just busy or kurking. Mum's been ill, so have been there a lot again but I think it's all getting better now, she's been diagnosed with heart problems but the medication is really helping with the general apathy
11:18 am
Glantarell
i am flying to the US on 9th Oct - 6 days in Stamford, 3 in NY, 8 in Wisonsin :-)
11:19 am
bichon
ou will be about 1 hour and a half from me Glant when you are in Stamford. Visiting family
11:20 am
Glantarell
i am there for the art-is-you retreat in the sheraton
11:21 am

zoozzoom
well...now that is very tempting..teehee.
11:27 am
bichon
Electrical cable out and there won't be any electic trains going to Stamford for weeks. One diesel train per hour. Won't be too bad if you are going on off peak hours
11:27 am
Glantarell
quite fancy joining you in the PB now
11:28 am
Glantarell
good to know bichon, may spend the money on alternative transport - think it's $50 to go by some kind of shared taxi thing
11:30 am
bichon
There's probably a shared taxi doing directly from LGA to Stamford. I would make reservations before hand
11:35 am
Glantarell
that's the thing - the shared taxi service, just don;t know how to find out more about it or reserve it
11:36 am
bichon
let me look and send it to you by email. What is your email address?
11:36 am
Glantarell
adigondda @ gmail.com
11:37 am
Glantarell
thank you
11:38 am

11:41 am
Glantarell
thanks, crumbs, $60 one way of $113 round trip...

11:45 am

Not sure what the distance you are traveling by taxi, Galnt, But here on the isle of wight it is about €20 for 9-10 mile trip.
11:45 am
zoozzoom
DE + what we breathe.
11:47 am
Erda
That was the De5,12 -- which I didn't need
11:48 am

11:49 am

I'm not sure what the distance is Zooz, and I never travel by taxi normally, but with luggage after a 20 hour journey I'm willing to pay if it makes that last hour or so easy!
11:49 am
Aloyisius
de + makes tears.. no earworm for this clue
11:50 am
Aloyisius
hi everyone.. logging in to sweep up the ones I couldn't find earlier
11:50 am
MollyL
I think Erda already got it.
11:50 am
bichon
It's not a private taxi, but a shared one
11:51 am
Glantarell
shared is fine
11:51 am
Erda
...which I no longer need anyway. Some of you have very long fuses...
11:51 am

Glantarell
i have sent the limo company an email asking if they have a service that meets my neds
11:56 am
Glantarell
*needs
11:57 am
bichon
If it's that late, then I would think there wouldn't be a mad crush to get on a diesel train that stops in Harlem. 125th street is the second stop, coming from Grand Central Station.
11:57 am
bichon
Let me see if I can find out the diesel schedule and i will email you
11:57 am

Wow, we've went to Alaska in 2004...what a great place. And we are headed to Vancouver in a couple of weeks for a wedding. Did you go to Victoria?
7:24 pm

Yes we did - sadly had no free time to meet up with Jilli or Flosey - the downside of a tour group. We went whale watching and saw orcas and went to the beautiful Butchart Gardens.
7:26 pm

We are hoping to meet at least Jillibus for lunch at Butchart Gardens. DH's brother getting married on the 16th, then we will go to Victoria on the 17/18-which is our 32nd wedding anniversary.
7:27 pm
Lizlin
That sounds fantastic. Congrats on the anniversary. I was really sad not to meet Jilli - she sounds lovely. If you've not been to the gardens before, allow loads of time. There's so much to see and they really are gorgeous.

mab
oh for heaven's sake. thank you.
9:27 pm
phandmd
that ol 5/12 clue; I need a different one. guess I am dense tonight
9:27 pm
mab
ol is of, relating to, or derived of oil
9:28 pm
mab
the other you put in a martini
9:29 pm
mab
or you squeeze the oil out of it and dip your baguette in it
9:29 pm
mab
or you pick it off an ol tree
9:30 pm
phandmd
I have the martini one, it's the derived of oil one I am not getting.
9:30 pm
mab

i've been doing these grids religiously since i have wi fi again. my score is way below FMitch's, who passed away over a year ago...
9:37 pm
mab
you try to quit this game, but it pulls you back in
9:37 pm
phandmd
I didn't know FMitch passed a way.
9:37 pm
rururocks
Fmitch is playing on in her afterlife.. she'll always be with us
9:38 pm
mab
or you can quit and just linger for years
9:38 pm
mab
ghostly babbling
9:39 pm
mab
oh it was sad, phan
9:39 pm
mab
of course her score was quite high....
9:39 pm
rururocks

9:39 pm
phandmd
It usually is...
9:40 pm
Jacula
Hi all. FMitch is still on my friends list as I can't bear to extinguish her.
9:41 pm
mab
oh yes. i can easily imagine that.
9:42 pm
Jacula
I'm having a bit of a sleepless night at present, due to some sinus/cold bug thingey. So, if anyone wants clues to finish the grid I can oblige.
9:43 pm
rururocks
I get that
9:43 pm
mab
have you tried a garlic steam? i find that helpful.
9:43 pm
rururocks
what's a bug thingey though?
9:44 pm
Jacula
mab - I have to be careful with garlic (given my name. LOL) as it lowers blood pressure and I have naturally low blood pressure. If I overdo the garlic, I feel like I'm heading for a stroke the next day.
9:45 pm
Jacula
A bug thingey, ruru ? Some unspecified whotsit that's a bit like a cold but not quite like one. :)
9:45 pm
mab
oh, i see. you vampires...
9:45 pm
Jacula
mab - Yup! :)
9:46 pm
rururocks
*warns Jacula to not go to Italy*
9:46 pm
mab
there is a recent novel
9:46 pm
mab
Vampires in the Lemon Grove
9:46 pm
Jacula
rur - I love Italian food and I make it, too. I just watch my own garlic intake.
9:47 pm
Jacula
mab - what novel's that, then?
9:47 pm
mab
a vampire sucks lemons to avoid bleeding people
9:47 pm
Jacula
Not heard of that one, mab. Who wrote it? Sounds fun!
9:47 pm
mab

72 Temple Owl
hello all
9:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
hey jacs.
9:52 pm
Jacula
I was surprised to see vi5.24 as an accepted word, since it's a region in France.
9:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
jacs: HOW long have you been playing this game? :P
9:53 pm
mab
that was odd. also odd: when i finish a grid, i continue to look for words.
9:54 pm
Jacula
TO - Me? Oh, years and years.
9:54 pm
Jacula
Just over 8 years under my present name.
9:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
that was in reference to your comment
9:55 pm
Jacula
Oh, lol, I see what you meant now TO. :)
9:56 pm
Jacula
mab - I find myself dreaming grids and solving them.
9:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
cocktail time for you, jacs.
9:56 pm
mab
i expect we will all play this game for the rest of our lives, and all linger on the score list.
9:57 pm
mab
but in my case, i won't linger long
9:57 pm
Jacula
In the wee, small hours I sometimes fear that I will end up like Russell Crowe's character in the film, 'A Beautiful Mind'. Only it won't be maths equations I'll be pinning up everywhere, but Babble grids!
9:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am so tired, i cannot believe one glass of wine caused this.
9:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
o.O
9:58 pm
Jacula
TO - cocktails? At almost 4am? Don't think so!
9:58 pm
mab

9:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

10:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
ch7/40 then pls?
10:00 pm
Jacula
TO - if one glass of wine made you so tired are you on any meds that would react with alcohol?
10:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
no. jus tired i guess. cocktail party for hs alum tonight
10:01 pm
Jacula
TO - ch7/40 is a past or verb tense of the singing group ch5.14.

Jacula

10:05 pm
72 Temple Owl

10:06 pm
Jacula

10:08 pm
72 Temple Owl

10:08 pm
Jacula
lol. It's often the easy words that come last, isn't it?
10:09 pm
Jacula
What else do you need?
10:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
they gave away a stadium blanket with blue eagles on it and we refused to enter to win it. left it for the young ones who grew up with it

Jacula

10:13 pm
Jacula

72 Temple Owl

10:17 pm
72 Temple Owl

10:17 pm
Minveryork
le5/20 word rhymes with the he 5/22 word 72 Temple Owl
10:18 pm
Jacula
Also a word I've never heard used (the le5.20).
10:19 pm
Jacula
le7/40, in case you need it, is even more le5.20.

Jacula

Still here if you need me, Min.

Jacula
Some gr4/7s are vi4/7 and leave you feeling ve5.28. However, this one wasn't, it was just a little tricky, leaving some wordsve4/7d. I was ti5/12, having tr5/12 hard and vi4/8 with others to complete it, but all I needed was some of that French vi5.24 water, and a cheese and ch5.20 sandwich to see me through. They did spell the name of the English hard cheese wrong on the pack, though - ch6/27.
10:36 pm
o-o
What did the book say to the librarian?
Can I take you out?
10:37 pm
Jacula
Looking ah5/14, I realised I'd need to make time to make dinner - a ch5/14 con carne with a side dish of ol5/16s, I'd also have to re5/16 my washing, which was hanging outside, because it had rained.
10:40 pm
Jacula
I never ti4/4 of sewing. I love making clothes and putting my foot down on the tre7/32 of my sewing machine. Even though it is electric, it still needs to be tre8/50 because it's a sSinger model from the 1950s.
10:41 pm
Jacula
o-o - can I take you out has a whole 'nother meaning these days!
10:43 pm
Jacula
Min - are you done?
10:48 pm
Minveryork
No, not yet. I am taking a break to play Candy Crush Saga.
10:49 pm
Jacula
'Bless you, my ch5/16,' said the priest as I ai5/12 my views about the church ch5/14. I wanted to be polite and ci5.18, really I did, but, as their voices ec6.27 around the church, they just made me ed4/9 and I felt like I wanted to ev5/18 or ex5/20 them, they were so awful. I had to gr4.6 my teeth and resist the urge to pull my ha4.5 out when they sang.
10:51 pm
Jacula
If I could have he5/24 them, I would have done. I'm sure the man that hi5/14 them was a ho6.36 - not one of them could ho4/6 a note!
10:55 pm
Jacula
Suddenly, I had a brilliant id4/5 about how I could ti4/7 them away. I'd li5.18 in this village all of my life and hadn't id5/14 my time away. I confronted the ch5/14 master and he looked ed4/9. 'Why are you ti4/5 to this vi4/7 group of singers?' I asked.
10:58 pm
Jacula
He ummed and aa5/14 for a moment... 'I'd have ax4.10 most of them, if I could,' he replied. 'But I have to ce4/6 to the vicar, who would de5/18 all I stand for, de5/18 that he is! That man ex5/20s far too much di4.5 influence on me.'
11:00 pm
Jacula
I could go on, but I won't. Hope anyone who needs clues has got them now. x
11:00 pm
joaniok
Thank you!! That was a BIG help!!
11:01 pm
Minveryork
Thank you Jacula. I am working on my last two words now.

I am always quietly working here and I am grateful for your clues!! I just wish I could help you too, but I am still a beginner. Thanks to all of you1
11:04 pm
Minveryork
I am finished! I have fireworks! vi 5/24 was my final word.
11:04 pm
Minveryork
Does anybody else need clues here before I jump into bed?
11:04 pm
Jacula
Well done, Min!*~*~*~*
11:05 pm
Jacula
Min - I think they're all done and so bed is a good option for us both (not together, of course! lol).
11:06 pm
Jacula
I enjoyed doing a clue story again. It's been some years since I did one, and I stopped doing them when Min started doing them, since she's so much more succint than me. Being a writer, I tend to go on a bit with mine.
11:09 pm
Jacula
succinct, I meant to type.
11:10 pm
Jacula
I'll be here for about 15 mins more, so if anyone needs clues ask now or forever hold your peace. :)
11:12 pm
Jacula
Joan - you're welcome. You should chat more often.
11:19 pm
Jacula
Incidentally, my last word entered for this gr4/7 was ti4/4 - a layer of a wedding cake.
11:20 pm
Jacula
Okay, I'm off back to bed now. Hope all unifinished ones finish before the flip at 6am.
