last week I had several moments when I felt hunger right after dinner. Dietician told me that when you have an eating disorder, the hunger and satisfaction signals are disturbed. This is a GOOD sign that things are starting to work again! However weird, lol.

2:21 am

joso

hey rose, thx for the morning glories, have you seen the dolphin rings? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMCf7SN\nUb-Q

2:21 am

rururocks

Were you eating Chinese food?

2:21 am

joso

g'nite peach

2:21 am

sprite

hehehe that is where I landed up as well, joso. Beautiful, aren't they!

2:22 am

sprite

hiya ruru. No, just a regular meal.

2:23 am

joso

saw them a while ago at ted, but yes, ran into them again while hunting for morning glories.

2:25 am

grannyrose

yes, joso. have seen them before. fascinating isn't it?

2:25 am

sprite

hmz... There went Tim: out of bed, morning mom, bye, 2 seconds later the door slammed close downstairs. Wanna bet he overslept? ;)

2:27 am

joso

a civil good morning sounds like an improvement, however brief

2:27 am

sprite

oh yes, he is doing pretty ok this week. Something is working!

2:28 am

joso

even without ring dolphins are full of grace

2:29 am

sprite

I like it how they enjoy playing just for the fun of it

2:30 am

joso

glad to hear you are bearing up well to the group sessions and diet sprite, not much as news goes though, I always knew you could do it

2:30 am

sprite

aw thanks joso! Love the vote of confidence.

2:31 am

grannyrose

i wonder if the dolphins do it in the wild?

2:31 am

sprite

if they didn't, there wouldn't be baby dolphins, rose.

2:31 am

joso

yes, and whales do it too

2:32 am

grannyrose

wow, that's amazing!!

2:32 am

grannyrose

naughty, sprite...lolol...

2:32 am

sprite

:)

2:33 am

rururocks

Dolphins do with a porpoise in mind

2:33 am

joso

so far beluga and killer, no video that I can find though.

2:33 am

puglet

its hard to think of a fish the size of a semi

2:33 am

sprite

would that be considered cheating?

2:33 am

grannyrose

*giggle* joso

2:34 am

sprite

they are mammals, not fish. Even though they look like fish.

2:34 am

joso

you know sprite, I've heard these reports of birds and bee's....

2:35 am

sprite

and flowers. Don't forget the flowers, joso.

2:35 am

joso

oh, I thought that was only a human ritual

2:36 am

sprite

it IS rather confusing, I agree.

2:36 am

joso

Don't see them holding up well for the dolphins

2:36 am

grannyrose

poor joso...harem master...and doesn't understand about the flowers.

2:37 am

sprite

let's just say that when you bring flowers to a lady, you can leave out the bee.

2:37 am

rururocks

* wonders if dolphins listen to Billy Ocean when they do it

2:38 am

sprite

I think they sing "Don't rock the boat"

2:38 am

grannyrose

which reminds me...DH says dead birds don't fall out of ne4s...maybe that's joso's problem...* runs away giggling*

2:38 am

joso

I understand flowers just fine for humans, and feel no need to understand as far as other species are concerned, one vet joke and you are tainted for life

2:39 am

rururocks

Two girl dolphins: stay away from his blow hole

2:39 am

joso

hi josh, congrats

2:39 am

grannyrose

2:40 am

grannyrose

ruru...you are supposed to be in the land of nod...

2:41 am

rururocks

Oh sorry... night all

2:41 am

joso

do most men run from you rose?

2:41 am

grannyrose

LOLOL...ruru...love your company as always

2:42 am

sprite

that reminds me... this man goes to his confessioner and tells him he has made love to patients of his and is so sorry about it he wants to kill himself. The priest asks: how often? He says: "Twice. With two different patients."
"Ok, that is not good," the priest says. "But definitely not bad enough to want to kill yourself over it. Trust me, you are not the only doctor who has done this."
"But I am a vet!" the man yells.

2:42 am

grannyrose

that's why they have to be yo5er. so they give me a good run for my money...lol

2:42 am

sprite

get back here, ruru! This instant! :)

2:42 am

3:29 am

puglet

I think I got me a camera to use on my computer. Went to a yardsale over the week end and I found one for five dollars. Brand new,still in plastic with cords ,cd and book..Having a friend checking it out and then when I get time she will teach me how to use it. So far all it needs is batteries

3:30 am

sprite

wow awesome!

3:32 am

puglet

when is your next group meeting?

3:33 am

sprite

Monday again. Every monday for the next 22 weeks

3:33 am

puglet

thats the only thing you are going to now

3:34 am

sprite

that, and the meetings about Tim, and my regular meetings with the psychiatrist

3:34 am

puglet

did you get to take the train again too?

3:34 am

sprite

on the way up the train, and back with my love by car

3:35 am

puglet

are you going to have to see the psy. after your group meetings

3:36 am

sprite

yes, they have asked me to stick with her for the ptsd. They don't feel they can help me enough in that area.

3:37 am

puglet

if you rode your bike to the train how did you get it back home

3:37 am

sprite

my love drops me off at the station

3:38 am

puglet

are you gaining anything with the ptsd?

3:38 am

sprite

right now, there are a lot of triggers and it is pretty bad. But that was to be expected. Will be able to tell more a little further along the road.

3:40 am

puglet

are you feeling improved yourself(on the inside)

3:41 am

sprite

not right now, pug. But I can feel I am doing the right things for me and that I am on the right track. Will feel better in time.

3:42 am

puglet

I have all the faith you will! By you not working outside the home anymore do you think that allows you more time to dwell on those things?

3:43 am

sprite

probably. I know I couldn't handle an outdoor job yet. But who knows, in a year time :)

3:44 am

puglet

Maybe now was the right time for you to fix all thses things. This way you can have your golden years to enjoy all the more

3:47 am

puglet

but Iam still bringing it up to her doctor on the next visit

3:47 am

3:47 am

sprite

yes, I think you should. He/she has to know where she is

3:48 am

joso

good idea, never hurts to ask

3:48 am

6:35 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Ruby..hope apt goes well for you.

6:36 am

I take it spring is well on its way with you, Liz?

6:47 am

zoozzoom

EN4/6

6:47 am

Lizlin

Spring - more like summer, though it's supposed to be spring. 35 C yesterday but sea breeze made it feel more like 26, according to the radio!

6:47 am

lbdawger

oh doh! thanks zooz

6:47 am

zoozzoom

yw, Dawg.

6:48 am

zoozzoom

Oh wow, Liz..what does that mean i wonder..i heatwave summer for you.

6:48 am

Lizlin

But it must be OK on the IOW if stuff's drying outside.

6:48 am

lbdawger

whooo hoooo Lickety's back!

6:49 am

Lizlin

They (whoever they are) say it's going to be a hot dry summer this year. Unusual for us if that happens as summer is our wet season.

6:49 am

zoozzoom

It is around 19c here at the moment..but by thursday it is going to be around 10c..the humidity is not too bad though..so things are drying ok.

6:49 am

Lizlin

Brrr! I've sort of forgotten what 10c feels like (happily).

6:50 am

Sam

If Lickety's back, why can't I access his site? I get a server not found message.

6:50 am

zoozzoom

Not good then, Liz...do you have water butts filled ready for any dry periods?

6:50 am

Lizlin

Lickety's working fine here - try refreshing.

6:51 am

o-o

mitchdick finished the grid in 18 minutes

6:51 am

Lizlin

We do have a rain tank - have talked about getting more but haven't done so yet. Our dams are full here.

6:51 am

zoozzoom

Just tried it, Sam, It is working here..try refreshing or closing down your computer completley and back on again..normally does the trick.

6:52 am

zoozzoom

18 minutes..wow..i will take just a bit longer....maybe by about a few hours..lol

6:53 am

zoozzoom

That is good the your dams are full then..at least that is something.

6:53 am

zoozzoom

Oh no..the washing has finished...time to hang it out..back later.

6:54 am

Lizlin

I think that many dams filled up over the past year - certainly Melbourne area had quite a bit of rain - I hope people will be OK.

Hi everyone! When I looked at Lickety's clue, it say, this progam cannot display the webpage". Anyone know how to fix this?

7:16 am

Anniebrook

*say*

7:16 am

Anniebrook

*says*

7:17 am

BzznBea

Hit refresh clues,

7:17 am

Trifioso

hi annie

7:17 am

Anniebrook

Bea, I did that, didnt work.

7:17 am

72 Temple Owl

can't do that,bea. the site does not come p at all.

7:17 am

Anniebrook

hi Trif

7:18 am

BzznBea

May have to close the browser.

7:18 am

lbdawger

strange, it's working fine for me (lickety's clues)

7:18 am

Anniebrook

will do.

7:19 am

bichon

me too

7:19 am

lbdawger

which browser are you using?

7:19 am

Anniebrook

are you on Babble Expert, dawg?

7:19 am

72 Temple Owl

new borwser does not work

7:20 am

Anniebrook

Owl, do you know how to fix this? Are you having the same problem?

7:21 am

jzw

I have the same problem. I'm using safari

7:21 am

Wolvie

just back, and i cant get in to lickety with safari nor chrome. odd

7:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i am trying a few things. the problem is i have the page book,arked and i guess the ip address has changed. but i cannot get it from the link either

7:21 am

jzw

Can some post the url?

7:22 am

Wolvie

new ip addy?? yes= post that please- i had it bookmarked as well

7:22 am

lbdawger

haven't used expert in a long time. wont load for me. just use explorer for my browser, have had issues with others.

7:22 am

o-o

http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

no luck. i can finish this one no sweat but need the link for larger grids

7:23 am

bichon

I use Chrome, but I have expert

7:23 am

Wolvie

ty BR- rats that is the bookmarked ip. sigh

7:23 am

Anniebrook

Owl, do you also use Expert?

7:24 am

BzznBea

Have you tried clearing our cache?

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

no

7:24 am

lbdawger

it may have to do with Lickety's new server, not sure but if safari and chrome aren't working, that would be my guess

7:24 am

o-o

reload or refresh page?

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

bea, that does not seem logical. it is a help desk thing,like reboot

7:25 am

o-o

chrome: http://www.playbabble.com/

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

the link on babble must be reset. it does not work either. are the sucessful oks using expert?

7:26 am

Trifioso

i just have chrome, TO, and my lickety is working fine

7:26 am

o-o

Internet Explorer 11: http://www.playbabble.com/

7:27 am

Anniebrook

I have Expert on my desktop and I cannot access Lickety's clues

7:27 am

bichon

I have it on my desktop and can access his clues. Can you clean your cache. Don't forget to close Chrome first

7:29 am

Anniebrook

I dont think Chrome is open. I really do not know how to do this. I open the computer, the desktop comes on and I click on Babble Expert. I am not good with computers, sorry to say.

7:29 am

o-o

7:30 am

bichon

Do you have the cache cleaner, Annie?

7:30 am

MollyL

It's funny. LBD says she has had issues with any browser but Internet Explorer. The only browser I have ever had issues with WAS Internet Explorer.

7:31 am

Anniebrook

bichon, I dont know what a cache cleaner is. Can I go to AOL and use the urls to get to Babble Expert?

7:31 am

Wolvie

Br- that link also told me it failed to find the server. odd

7:31 am

bichon

I'll get the url for the cache cleaner

7:31 am

72 Temple Owl

none of the urls posted by anyone has worked

7:31 am

Wolvie

what is the link for expert?

7:32 am

MollyL

I would suggest emailing Lickety about Expert. As someone said earlier, it could be his new set up.

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

doesn't the cache cleaner remove all coolies?

7:32 am

bichon

CCleaner.com

7:32 am

MollyL

Yes it does TO, including any passwords you are linked to.

7:32 am

bichon

yes TO

7:33 am

o-o

Sorry. I do not use expert but can access Lickety on firefox, chrome and IE

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

which is why i am loath to do that if i am not 100% uaranteed that is the fix.

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i tired firefox, no dice

7:33 am

Wolvie

thanks for trying BR. :-) i am not sure i use expert or not, lol. I know i paid some money years ago- but not sure. very sad. lol

7:33 am

bichon

Let me pose a question. Why wouldn't everyone not use Expert

7:34 am

o-o

I see no reason to.

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't care for it.

7:34 am

bichon

That was awkward, everyone should use Expert, no?

7:34 am

MollyL

I find Expert to be a very quirky program. And I do just fine playing the game on the regular Babble site.

7:34 am

bichon

It certainly is easier

7:34 am

Wolvie

so- can someone give me the link please??

7:35 am

Wolvie

i would like to check. :D

7:35 am

72 Temple Owl

it has been a while since it tried it, so i don't remember the details, but it took away something from the challenge for me

7:35 am

bichon

The link to what Wolvie

7:35 am

Wolvie

from the sounds of it i use the regular babble not expert

7:35 am

Wolvie

expert

7:35 am

Trifioso

I don't use expert....do as well as I want to with the regular site, lickety, etc.

7:35 am

bichon

I just keep the clues closed until I need them

7:36 am

bichon

II don't know it Wolvie

7:36 am

Anniebrook

All Expert does is put the word in alphabetical order in hte clue list.

7:36 am

Wolvie

now i know i dont use expert, lol- no clues on my page or available

7:36 am

Wolvie

ahh. ty annie. nope i dont need the link :-)

7:37 am

bichon

am needy in this game

7:37 am

72 Temple Owl

wait a minute. the list is already in alphabetical order.

7:37 am

Wolvie

but i will miss lickety the next time we get a big grid :D

7:37 am

o-o

Download Babble Expert here: http://r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip

7:37 am

Anniebrook

You can hide the clue list until you want to open it and the words you already have are in alphabetical order.

7:37 am

72 Temple Owl

does anyone have a profile list in case it is needed?

7:38 am

Anniebrook

I guess my best bet is to write to Lickety.

7:38 am

MollyL

Wait, you can't get to Lickety's List either?

7:39 am

72 Temple Owl

that is th eissue for me.

7:39 am

o-o

licketySplitAUS
@
gmail.com

7:39 am

Wolvie

ty BR- the r46 server is not working at all- so no lickety no expert, lol. but i will email doctor god

7:39 am

MollyL

So when you click on "Lickety's Babble Clues" below the grid, what happens?

7:39 am

72 Temple Owl

same error server not found

7:39 am

Wolvie

server not found

7:40 am

MollyL

Wolvie, you have to email Lickety. Dr. God has nothing to do with Lickety, Expert or the list.

7:40 am

welki

morning, folks - i'm using firefox and the clue link comes up fine

7:40 am

72 Temple Owl

in ie and firefox, with new browser.

7:40 am

72 Temple Owl

hey welk.

7:41 am

welki

just tried safari and chrome - link works for me there, too

7:41 am

MollyL

It can't be a server issue since so many people are saying they can access the server.

7:41 am

Wolvie

okay

7:42 am

Sam

I suspect there are different servers in different countries. It seems US babblers can't reach the server, but others can.

7:42 am

MollyL

The only thing I can think of for you folks having trouble accessing the list is the old reboot trick.

7:42 am

o-o

Dr_God likely will tell you to email Lickety

7:42 am

lynxxx

I'll add to the chorus too - everything still works OK for me too

7:42 am

MollyL

I am a US user and I can access the list just fine.

7:42 am

Wolvie

yeah- reboot is probably the ticket

7:42 am

joso

working in canada too

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

reboot takes so long, i will just try again later. last time this happened, someone had to post the new URL

7:44 am

zoozzoom

Working fine is the UK too.

7:44 am

zoozzoom

in.

7:44 am

Sam

Well, I cleared my cache and rebooted my computer and still no Lickety.

7:44 am

welki

sounds like more people can access than not - probably nothing that lickety can help with

7:44 am

zoozzoom

the UK itself is not working fine..but that is a different story :-)

7:44 am

MollyL

Not sure what you mean by "the new url". The url to the list is http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

7:45 am

lynxxx

lol zooz

7:45 am

lbdawger

posted list in my profile for those who can't get to lickety. must be off for a bit. hagd/e/n

7:46 am

lynxxx

bye dawg

7:46 am

Wolvie

yep- that is the addy i have and it tells me cant find server, lol. ah well- it will get resolved

7:46 am

MollyL

I wonder if this is an internet provider thing. Sometimes, certain providers get stuck accessing certain servers.

7:46 am

Wolvie

ty dawg :-)

7:46 am

zoozzoom

I am sure it is just lickety that moved..he did not as far as i am aware, change the server where lickety is.

7:47 am

zoozzoom

the list..oh you know what i mean.

7:47 am

lynxxx

my money is on Molly's suggestion

7:47 am

MollyL

Lickety does need to hear about this though. He can contact his server people about those who can't access.

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i am bailing on the last 15, later and happy babbling

7:48 am

lynxxx

bye Owl

7:49 am

welki

later, owl

7:49 am

72 Temple Owl

bye lyn. i am begnning to look like your icon lol

7:49 am

lynxxx

lol

7:50 am

zoozzoom

lol (((Owl)))

7:51 am

zoozzoom

I like your message in your profile, Welki..also did you do that scetch for your icon?

7:52 am

welki

thanks, zooz - and i wish i had enough talent to create beautiful artwork. picked the photo up from a fishing forum

7:52 am

welki

photo = watercolor

7:52 am

o-o

I emailed Lickety and asked whether those having problems should email him.

7:52 am

zoozzoom

It is very nicely done.

7:53 am

lynxxx

lovely 'pick-up' Welki

7:53 am

welki

thanks again

7:54 am

welki

as an aside, these fish are called pumpkinseed sunfish - they're very small and a hoot to catch on a fly rod

7:54 am

zoozzoom

And i know i should of spelt it sketch..bit too late now..think i am having a funny spelling turn.

7:54 am

welki

hehehe - knew what you meant

7:55 am

o-o

flies are so small ... you must really be good at fishing to use a rod that small.

7:56 am

zoozzoom

haha nice name for a fish.

7:56 am

welki

the flies are tiny, o-o - and yeah, if they sold a miniature popeet's pocket flyfishing rod, i'd buy one :)

7:56 am

zoozzoom

LOL

7:56 am

zoozzoom

You two are funny :-)

8:03 am

welki

for icefishing, o-o, i sometimes use a really small fishing rod - takes some finesse, but once you get the technique, it works well - check this out: https://www.marmish.ca/

8:04 am

zoozzoom

ha wow that is small.

8:05 am

joso

I didn't know we had an official Canadian ice fishing team.

8:05 am

welki

it can get a little weird when a big fish takes the lure

8:06 am

welki

<-- fishes all year long

8:06 am

zoozzoom

I bet..lol

8:06 am

zoozzoom

Hey you could join, Joso :-)

8:06 am

welki

here, in alberta, if you don't like ice fishing, you don't fish for a good part of the year *lol*

8:09 am

joso

what, me, go out in a hut and freeze my hiney off to get some fish. Somehow i think I'll resist that opportunity.

8:09 am

zoozzoom

I admire people who live in such cold conditions for long periods of time..i prefer warmer climates..not that the UK is a warm place but..we do get tepid climates more than freezing.

8:09 am

zoozzoom

Teehee..i don't blame you.

8:10 am

lynxxx

I can't imagine living in any place with snow &/or ice

8:10 am

welki

oh, gone are the days when you'd do that, joso - we load up the quads - ice fishing tent, heater, chairs, auger, gear, lunch - and spend a beautiful day on the ice. the dogs love it, it's warm in the tent and, if we catch fish, it's a bonus

8:10 am

zoozzoom

Crossy used to do the swim in the ice hole thing they do once a year i think.

8:11 am

Judi

Good morning, kind peoples.

8:11 am

lynxxx

hi Judi

8:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Judi :-)

8:11 am

welki

(i have a friend whose ice hut is spectacular - woodstove, solar power, bunks if you want to spend the night)

8:11 am

joso

I cant imagine living without seasons, Christmas just doesn't feel like X-mas without snow.

8:11 am

welki

hi, judi

8:11 am

Judi

*giggles* Zooz just said "ice hole".

8:12 am

joso

hi judi

8:12 am

welki

me, i'd like the opportunity to find out if i could live without the seasons - -30 is getting a little extreme for me *lol*

8:12 am

zoozzoom

It snowed on my first christmas...not that i would remember it..and it has not done so since..lol

8:12 am

welki

ohhh, judi *lol*

8:12 am

zoozzoom

Judi!..lol..naughty girl.

8:13 am

welki

now i have austin powers and jake from 2 1/2 men in my head - thanks, judi!

8:15 am

zoozzoom

manymen men men many men menmen ohh ohh oohh..now i have that tune stuck in my head.

8:15 am

zoozzoom

Although i have not watched that comedy show for a while now.

8:17 am

zoozzoom

I think my singing killed the chog..oops.

8:18 am

welki

nope - just trying to work my way through the grid

8:19 am

joso

singing, is that what that was

8:19 am

pcal2

From US using Firefox, adding my 2 cents. I emailed lickety last night that I was getting "server not found" msg. He thought just me; sugg I empty cache. Did that, rebooted. No luck; same msg. Thanks lbd for posting list!

8:19 am

zoozzoom

Well my attempt at singing..hahaha

8:20 am

welki

i had a fine voice as a younger person - now, not so much. but i really think that everyone should sing - every day

8:20 am

Anniebrook

pcal2, I wrote to Lickety too.

8:21 am

zoozzoom

It does seem strange how some people are having trouble with getting the lickety list to open and yet lots of people have no trouble..baffling.

8:21 am

Anniebrook

Mairsy doats and doesy doats and little lambs eat ivy, a kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't youuuuuu?

8:22 am

welki

there you go, annie!! (and i was one of the people who, for years, thought they were nonsense syllables!)

8:22 am

zoozzoom

I do sing a lot..terrible singing mind...but it is only me here so it does not matter...although i do have a next door neibour..hate to think what they think of my singing when i am in full flow and really getting into it..lol

8:22 am

pcal2

Hope whatever the problem is, that it is resolved soon...:-(

8:22 am

Anniebrook

I miss Lickety's list...me too welki

8:23 am

Anniebrook

pcal2, me too me too

8:23 am

joso

It sounds like a service provider problem, we know the site is there, just that some can't reach it. i doubt lickety can do anything about that

8:24 am

Buggie

can you go straight to the site, instead of the redirection? the actual address is http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

8:24 am

Anniebrook

hi joso, what do the poor folks (like me) do who can't reach the site. *sigh*

8:25 am

zoozzoom

The sad thing is i can still get lickety site to open..but hardly ever use it.

8:25 am

joso

buggie's idea might work, or talk to service provider.

8:25 am

Anniebrook

I think this has happened before when Lickety moved and it was resolved. Does anyone here remember that?

8:26 am

bichon

Yes, Annie, I do

8:26 am

zoozzoom

I have only been here since january 2009...was it before that as i can not remember it, Annie.

8:26 am

lynxxx

Maybe try searching on ...LicketySplitAUS

8:27 am

Anniebrook

bichon, As I recall it was resolved by Lickety, bless him. I hope it is the same kind of situation.

8:28 am

lynxxx

I think that was when no-one at all could access him Annie. This time it seems only some can't

8:28 am

joso

If the site has moved because lickety has, ie he is hosting it on his own machine, then over time the search engines and web address lists will update things.

8:28 am

Buggie

if lickety is hosting the site from his home connection, your internet provider can take up to 48 hours to update their DNSÂ servers (but taking that long means a really bad provider...). But do try the address I posted, that's the page you're taken to when you click the link

8:29 am

zoozzoom

wow the chance of two people posting very similar posts must be high..you two should do the lottery..lol

8:29 am

Anniebrook

I cant try to type that address Buggie on Expert but will get onto AOL later and try from there. Thanks. Lickety does not host the site, he offers us the program Babble Expert. I hope I am making sense.

8:30 am

lynxxx

People have already tried that Buggie but some are still not getting through

8:30 am

zoozzoom

low tsk.

8:30 am

pcal2

Tried using the url instead of link; tried IE...same result.

8:31 am

zoozzoom

Sort of annie..but theclues, Lickety puts up each day is done from his machine..so as they say could take a couple of days for the DNS servers to update.

8:32 am

Buggie

hrm, well there's always the opendns solution, but I'm guessing that might be too difficult for most people... otherwise the only answer is to wait it out

8:32 am

Anniebrook

zooz, what is SNS?

((Annie)) Yep. Sometimes I don't think people should be ALLOWED to live here in the winter unless they pay their dues by living here in the summer! But then we'd lose all that tourist cash!

8:45 am

MimiCat

I am in the process of designing my balcony to be a haven for the cats so they can enjoy being outside safely. Can't let them up on the patio wall as my Dodger has seizures and might fall off. Going to use lattice and Rhapis palms to line that wall so they can't jump up and put in some type of pedestals so they can still get up high and see out.

8:46 am

car.eeyore

Awesome mimi!

8:46 am

MimiCat

It's going to take a lot of lattice and plans as my balcony wall is 172' wide!

8:47 am

uusue2

172 feet???

8:47 am

MimiCat

But it will also be an oasis for me. I already have pretty solar lights (lilies, hummingbird, dragonfly and butterfly) that change colors and I want to put a waterfall type fountain out there, too.

8:47 am

car.eeyore

Its all good and fun until Dante gets involved....all 16+ lb of him. He wants to play to but doesn't bring the ball back. Just takes it and then sits on Buddy or beats the crap out of him

8:48 am

MimiCat

Yes, Sue...it runs most of the length of my apt.

8:48 am

uusue2

Holy cow, that is one huge balcony! Sounds amazing!

8:48 am

MimiCat

Sorry, meant inches....WHOA.

8:49 am

car.eeyore

LOL! Room for plenty of Babblers!

8:49 am

MimiCat

Need a second cup of tea this morning!

8:49 am

MimiCat

Wish it was feet...could have one great party!

8:50 am

uusue2

Still a pretty nice balcony :-)

8:52 am

MimiCat

Yes, it is, and it overlooks the courtyard and trees so the cats get to watch birds. They already have the bedroom window for that but they so much want to be outside. Am hoping to be able to put the litter box out there as well and just let them come and go as they please. Might have to get a cat door, though....we'll see.

8:54 am

uusue2

Yes, my cats are indoor cats too, and our new place has a completely screened-in porch. I thought the cats would spend more time out there than they do, but the dogs also like it so perhaps that makes it less appealing.

8:56 am

My cats have a tendency to demolish screens. They rip into them with claws...bedroom window screen totally demolished on one side. It's mostly them trying to catch bugs they see on them but once they sink claws in, it's difficult to pull back out so they rip the screens....sigh..one must take the bad with the good, alas.

Ah - mine are declawed (which is why they are indoor cats). I didn't declaw them but I did look for declawed cats at the rescue facility.

I'm just glad to finally have a little money again after so long without. I was able to use Deal Chicken to give one of my best friends and his wife a 3-course meal at the Wrigley mansion on top of a mountain that's a members only place...that felt so good. They have really helped me a lot.

All my other cats were declawed in front (by me) but couldn't afford to do these when they were little and now it's too difficult since they're feral to anyone but me.

symptoms vary from person to person, bich, but for me. it's a sudden sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that is postitively excruciating. first time i had it, it was on the right side (which is a little abnormal), so i thought it was appendicitis

3:18 pm

penquis

yes, hego...i will take a clue

3:18 pm

hego

not the elder

3:19 pm

welki

not this week, diane - BUT good news is that there've been some studies that show no correlation between diverticulitis and nuts and/or seeds

Hi Diane

I did make jelly last year but I don't have the proper tools and it's a bummer creating the juice.

3:20 pm

welki

from the national institute of health:
Scientists now believe that people with diverticular disease do not need to eliminate certain foods from their diet. In the past, health care providers recommended that people with diverticular disease avoid nuts, popcorn, and sunflower, pumpkin, caraway, and sesame seeds because they thought food particles could enter, block, or irritate the diverticula. However, recent data suggest that these foods are not harmful.5 The seeds in tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries, and raspberries, as well as poppy seeds, are also fine to eat. Nonetheless, people with diverticular disease may differ in the amounts and types of foods that worsen their symptoms.

3:21 pm

ah, the old food mill

I just copied and pasted; thanks welki

3:24 pm

dianedecoder

question? Does anyone use Google Chrome as their main browser?.... I think Crossy does. It is not my default search engine but I do use it for certain things. This morning, it's all messed up and I guess they've made some changes.

3:25 pm

welki

hmmm - i use it sometimes, was on it this morning and didn't notice any changes. what happens?

3:25 pm

bichon

I use Chrome almost exclusively and haven't had any problems with it except for some thing which need Java

3:25 pm

dianedecoder

We plan to leave on Dec. 28th or 29th. .... don't be jealous

3:25 pm

dianedecoder

3:27 pm

hego

I use Chrome..

3:27 pm

hego

If you have problems switch to IE for that one thing.

3:29 pm

dianedecoder

I use IE all the time but sometimes it is so slow.

3:29 pm

hego

I'm not sure it matters all that much, I just like Google.

3:29 pm

bichon

I use Mozilla if I need to use Java

3:30 pm

We are heading out to Victoria on Nov. 6 for a week though... really looking forward to that. Our grandson is playing hockey for the Cowichan Valley Capitals...home base is Duncan, which is just up the island from Victoria!

3:31 pm

hego

Love BC!

3:31 pm

hego

Is it near Bugsaw?

3:32 pm

dianedecoder

I love it too.... lived in Victoria for 2 years when I was 18 - 20.... then hubby came out and kidnapped me and brought me back to Alberta... been here ever since !!

3:32 pm

hego

It seems to agree with you.

3:32 pm

dianedecoder

Yes, I believe Bugsaw is just out of main Victoria

3:33 pm

I visited her last year.

good evening everyone

6:56 pm

stidmama

hey phand! did you start your new job?

6:57 pm

phandmd

Yes, today was the 2nd day. It was full of computer learning. I had 32 power points to look at and tests to take. I didn't finish them all so I will have to go in tomorrow before I was supposed to be there to finish up.

6:58 pm

phandmd

I am toast now.

6:58 pm

phandmd

not sure why I am even attempting this puzzle tonight. haha

6:59 pm

stidmama

wow. that is a LOT of learning -- how do you think you are doing?

6:59 pm

stidmama

*offers apple butter for phand's toast*

*wicked mama grin*

6:59 pm

phandmd

I am doing fine. I get the results right away.

6:59 pm

phandmd

the question is how much am I really retaining!

6:59 pm

phandmd

YUMMY, apple butter....

7:00 pm

stidmama

actually, that was the question I typed first, phand! LOL

7:00 pm

phandmd

tomorrow is a crisis prevention intervention class.

7:02 pm

stidmama

what sort of crises?

7:02 pm

phandmd

I don't know, that is what the class is called.

7:03 pm

stidmama

oh, okay --

so much to learn! the terminology is what got me confused when I was new at this school. Who is on what teams, why and... what should I do to integrate and help?

7:04 pm

phandmd

can be overwhelming!

7:04 pm

stidmama

NBT! :-)

7:04 pm

phandmd

way to go, I still have 1 tile that is bland and 2 stats

7:05 pm

stidmama

yes, very. And here were are, in the middle of the 6th week and I only just realized we are only 4 weeks from the end of the first grading period... I was starting to panic, but my team teacher (same room) reminded me that we actually have all year and it's okay to start a little slowly.

7:05 pm

stidmama

I need a 7 and the 8... then I have NBS

7:05 pm

phandmd

that's what I need too.

7:05 pm

9:26 pm

uusue2

ah - I was busy taking a friend to a medical appointment in Chicago

9:26 pm

uusue2

hi stid!!

9:26 pm

stidmama

hope friend will be okay, sue

9:27 pm

uusue2

she's had a headache almost constantly since February and they can't figure out why

9:27 pm

uusue2

she was supposed to have a spinal tap today but they couldn't get it done so she'll have to go back and have it done by the radiologists

9:28 pm

stidmama

oh, that's not good. *sending peace* it's awful to be in pain like that, even for just a week or so

9:28 pm

uusue2

it's really been almost disabling for her - although she's managed to keep up with her graduate studies in spite of it - she did have to cut down to two classes this semester

9:31 pm

stidmama

yes, I am glad that even on days like today (weather migraine) they are nowhere like they used to be. I managed to teach anyway, we'll see what managed to stick tomorrow. But when the migraines were daily while I was in grad school... that was horrible. I couldn't cut back to part time in that program though, so I am glad hers allows it.

9:31 pm

joso

that sounds ghastly sue

9:31 pm

stidmama

hey joso

9:31 pm

joso

hi stid

9:32 pm

uusue2

yes, people are trying to work with her but it's been really hard for her - and no medications seem to work (without knocking her out)

9:32 pm

uusue2

hi joso!

9:32 pm

joso

does she get any relief with sleep?

9:33 pm

uusue2

ok, 6 w words and I will be done

9:34 pm

uusue2

I think she has some medication that lets her sleep, joso, but it's not great for her

9:34 pm

stidmama

with me, the main trigger turned out to be the eye defect, sue -- the splintering of the light entering the eye, and then the additional strain of trying to focus on all the tiny print... have they checked her eyes for things like wrinkled cornea (my issue) and other defects? I don't wear glasses, my eyes are actually 20/20, but all the reading of grad school overtaxed the ability to work around the life-long undiagnosed defect.

9:34 pm

stidmama

go sue go!

9:36 pm

uusue2

I'm not sure, stid, they have done about a zillion tests

9:36 pm

uusue2

but it came on very suddenly (she can tell you the day it started) and includes numbness and burning down her arm

9:36 pm

stidmama

ooh. that's way different from mine.

9:37 pm

stidmama

Well, I will hold her in the light, and hope the answers, when they arrive, are comforting.

9:37 pm

uusue2

yes, it's really not a migraine for her, it's something else. Many doctors have been flummoxed.

9:38 pm

uusue2

she went to a headache clinic in Chicago - supposed to be one of the best in the country - and they couldn't really help her, so now she's going to neurologists at the University of Chicago

9:38 pm

joso

yea, I,ve heard of studies that say drug induced sleep is not truly restful. So stid, your brain has been reassembling distorted image data your whole life, like what computers were doing for the hubble with it's distorted lens?

9:39 pm

stidmama

Speaking of people we know and love... how's your son doing?

9:39 pm

uusue2

he's doing well, stid, so far so good in this semester

9:40 pm

stidmama

LOL yes, joso, apparently so. I first noticed a "squiggle" in my eyes when I was a young teen, but docs dismissed it for more than three decades as a "floater" -- wasn't until my mother was diagnosed with it that I had something I could ask for testing, and then it turned out there are several women in my maternal line with this defect. Good thing I had boys!

9:40 pm

uusue2

fireworks, at last!

9:40 pm

stidmama

Glad to hear, sue! :-D *happy mama grin*

9:40 pm

stidmama

YAY SUE!!!!!

9:40 pm

joso

congrats sue

9:41 pm

uusue2

once again all his classes are engineering ones; he seems to do better that way

9:41 pm

uusue2

he's taking fluid dynamics, engineering economics (which he says is deadly dull), integrated circuits, and something else

9:41 pm

stidmama

I usually only notice the defect when I am looking at light, solid-colored things... or blue sky. But now it interferes with making sense of print. For a reader... it has not been fun.

9:42 pm

stidmama

WOW. That sounds like a FULL load, sue!

9:42 pm

uusue2

he had a similar schedule last spring and did well, so I am hopeful

10:01 pm

Nef

It wasn't a Word; jmc; so it doesn't matter

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

10:07 pm

stidmama

i misse jmc... sweet dreams sue

10:07 pm

stidmama

hey nef

10:08 pm

Nef

hi stid; sorry your having vision problems

10:08 pm

Nef

you're (sorry for the typo)

10:08 pm

stidmama

not anymore, nef -- no more grad school, and I have accomodations when I need them at work (I haven't needed them since I left grad school). :-)

10:10 pm

Nef

I had to wear glasses as a senior in high school and through Nursing school due to what they called a "lazy eye" I was getting severe headaches from all the reading back then

10:11 pm

Nef

Then I didn't need glasses again til I was 47 (and ended up with trifocals within 8 years!

10:12 pm

stidmama

wish glasses helped me -- but they make it worse

10:18 pm

stidmama

Nef, I didn't manage to can anything this summer. I had the blue book out several times, and then things would get crazy and I never managed to can anything. But it sure made me happy to be able to think about it...

10:18 pm

Nef

WOW! That's interesting that that would make it worse (thinking how an astigmatism is helped by glasses

10:18 pm

stidmama

also, pics of the floors are on my website, nef...

10:19 pm

Nef

(and sorry for the slow response, had to let the dog out and there's some fox in the neighborhood so I have to wait outside with him at night

10:19 pm

stidmama

I don't pretend to understand it, but I can use a magnifier up close to text and it's okay, but glasses (in general) make it worse. If my eyes are already shot, however, a pair of "cheaters" can make it possible for me to do things like thread a needle.

10:19 pm

stidmama

oh, foxes can be tricky!

10:20 pm

stidmama

I used to worry about Buffy until we got Lucky to protect her.

10:21 pm

Nef

thanks, stud. I didn't can anything this summer either. With my son & family moving in, things kind of overwhelmed me

10:21 pm

stidmama

yes, I imagine they would.

10:22 pm

Nef

sorry, stid! (stupid spellcheck!)

10:22 pm

stidmama

I did go to Mother's once and made refrigerator pickles. Those are probably ready to start using, come to think of it.

10:22 pm

Nef

we did make a couple gallons of ref rig. pickles, but we also ate them! :-)

10:22 pm

stidmama

no worries, nef ;-)

10:23 pm

stidmama

I LOVE pickles... hm. maybe Tom could bring me a few pickles for dessert... I ate cookies for part of my supper. LOL

10:24 pm

Nef

I see my typing skills suck tonight too..

10:24 pm

stidmama

better than typing skulls sicking... *wicked mama grin*

10:25 pm

Nef

LOL! :-D

10:27 pm

stidmama

down to a slim 40, thinking it might be enough

10:31 pm

Nef

I have almost 60 left; I'm going to quit at 50 (too tired to stay up and finish tonight)

10:31 pm

stidmama

50 is a good number. Can I help in any way? I have NBT and NBS

10:31 pm

stidmama

haven't checked lickety.

10:32 pm

stidmama

just checked lickety... got the yt if you want it

10:32 pm

Nef

I have the NBT and NBS also

10:32 pm

joso

10:33 pm

Nef

10:33 pm

stidmama

10:34 pm

joso

10:34 pm

THanks! Got it on the clue alone! :-)

10:37 pm

stidmama

SA 5 the last please?

10:38 pm

joso

10:40 pm

RoundBarn

10:40 pm

stidmama

hey roundbarn

10:40 pm

Nef

LOL; I'm dozing off now too

10:40 pm

stidmama

thanks also nef

10:40 pm

joso

the center part is goat

10:40 pm

RoundBarn

hi, Stid. I lurk and watch all of you.

10:41 pm

stidmama

how about the RA 5/14?

10:41 pm

Nef

Hi RoundBarn. I'm not making much sense I know; I was talking about the sa5 and not knowing if it's the 1st or last

10:41 pm

Nef

(and it's a good thing that the bottom half is a goat; it would look odd the other way around!

10:41 pm

joso

ra5, gnarly hair, or behaving poorly

10:42 pm

joso

so ruru is not a sa5

10:42 pm

stidmama

and the 6 after that ra?

10:43 pm

joso

most uncooked

10:43 pm

dianedecoder

the least cooked

10:43 pm

stidmama

ah, thanks

10:43 pm

Nef

ra5 is descriptive of my daughter after a derby bout! she looks ra***

10:43 pm

stidmama

10:43 pm

stidmama

hello diane!

10:43 pm

dianedecoder

hi stid !! Nice to see you :-)

10:43 pm

dianedecoder

I have 18 left.

10:44 pm

joso

hi di

10:44 pm

RoundBarn

nef, I knew what you meant. I was making a joke.

10:44 pm

dianedecoder

hello joso :-)

10:45 pm

dianedecoder

I've been greeted that way many times, joso...."hi di" !

10:45 pm

Nef

I know, RB. After you wrote that I was trying to imagine the sa5 built the other way around; not the best thought

10:45 pm

Nef

hi diane.

10:46 pm

RoundBarn

rawest

10:46 pm

dianedecoder

hi Nef

10:46 pm

stidmama

10:46 pm

Nef

nice clue, RB ;-)

10:46 pm

dianedecoder

And I see RoundBarn too, and she gives great clues ;-)

10:46 pm

stidmama

i knew if I looked at lickety for my other 7-letter I would get sucked in...

10:47 pm

stidmama

and my last word IS the other 7 *thinking*

10:47 pm

Nef

GO stid! :-)

10:48 pm

joso

ar7, rhymes with the ghastly feminised version of the name henry

10:48 pm

stidmama

10:48 pm

stidmama

fw on a weeknight, how pretty!

10:48 pm

stidmama

brb

10:48 pm

RoundBarn

especially when tired--nef, picture a cenaur the other way around, too. I did a painting of the minotaur, it di doesn;t say which half is bull, does it? (It must have taken some gymnastics to conceive him.)

10:49 pm

joso

lo7, what english people call a living room

10:49 pm

dianedecoder

I gave a clue earlier for that one, but I think it was too archaic ! lol I said , think of the old musical "Naughty M******* !

10:50 pm

dianedecoder

meaning that I'm a little ancient... it's funny what different clues we all give, based upon our age and the era we grew up in.

10:50 pm

joso

even knowing the answer that one is over my head

10:50 pm

Nef

YAY, stid!!! WTG!!!!

10:51 pm

joso

congrats stid

10:53 pm

Nef

BRB, DH is asking me for help for a second

10:53 pm

stidmama

that's funny, diane -- just the other day I was with a group of people and a karen carpenter song started to play. We all sang along, and I realized it meant we were all about the same age! LOL

10:53 pm

dianedecoder

It was from 1935 joso..... before my time and much before yours

10:53 pm

dianedecoder

How true that is, stid. :-)

10:54 pm

joso

I remember the first time I felt old, in a record store and overhear a couple of girls, one asks the other who are these beatles

10:55 pm

dianedecoder

Ha !

10:56 pm

RoundBarn

goodnight nef and others. I can manage a half hour more work. Nef, I'm writing up embryo transfer and in vitro right now, for Vol. 3.

Nef

10:59 pm

RoundBarn

everything came from cows. goodnight, all. oh, Nef. They were doing it in wisconsin and my dad was on the board that was developing it. I got a telebram from him when the first embryo transfer calf was born.

10:59 pm

Nef

11:27 pm

Jacula

lol, ruru

11:30 pm

westford

done

11:30 pm

rururocks

nef left.. and missed the joke

11:30 pm

rururocks

yeahhhh westie.

11:30 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure if I'm up early or up late, since I didn't sleep very well because my brain wouldn't switch off. I've been working on a 'Dexter' continuation for fan fiction and also on a plot blast what- if chart for the latest shock in the plot in Downton Abbey. I won't say what that shock is, since we in UK have the lasest series now and you in USA don't get it until January.

11:30 pm

rururocks

just in time

11:31 pm

Jacula

*latest, I meant, not lastest. lol

11:31 pm

westford

I've cut it much closer ruru

11:31 pm

rururocks

is downtown abbey a TV show?

11:31 pm

Jacula

Well done, westford!

11:32 pm

rururocks

...guessing...

11:32 pm

Jacula

ruru - Yes, as is 'Dexter'.

11:32 pm

rururocks

oh

11:32 pm

westford

thanks jac I'm so jealous..can't wait for our next Downton

11:32 pm

rururocks

I don't really watch much tv.. I'm so out of it

11:33 pm

Jacula

ruru - I feel like that when I come in here and people are chatting about sport. lol

11:33 pm

rururocks

yeah.. same difference I guess

11:34 pm

Jacula

Yup!

11:34 pm

rururocks

I just bought a new TV and hardly use it

11:34 pm

westford

see you in a bit missed you all

11:35 pm

rururocks

bye west..

11:35 pm

rururocks

glad you finished

11:35 pm

Jacula

So many channels and so little you actually want to watch.

11:35 pm

Jacula

'Bye West.

11:35 pm

rururocks

I totally agree.

11:35 pm

rururocks

I pay for all this garbage for 4 or 5 channels I want to watch

11:36 pm

rururocks

it's so depressing what most of America watches

11:36 pm

rururocks

stupid macho - shoot them up .. blow them up plotless boring movies

11:37 pm

Jacula

We get a printed TV guide and I go through it to choose what I want to watch and mark it up. We get some really good dramas and documentaries here in UK and there are a lot of good things on US channels, too. You just need to be choosy.

11:37 pm

rururocks

I don't have the time really.. i'd rather read

11:37 pm

Jacula

I leave the shoot 'em up stuff to my other half.

11:38 pm

Jacula

I read, cook, write, socialise and fit in TV when I want a sit down.

11:38 pm

rururocks

yeah.. that's when I watch tv.. when I need down time

11:39 pm

rururocks

I'm writing an article for the local newspaper in the opinion column (hoping it gets printed) about Father's Day (upcoming next June)

11:40 pm

Jacula

I'd be interested to read that, ruru.

11:40 pm

Jacula

Good luck with it.

11:40 pm

rururocks

well.. if they accept it

11:40 pm

rururocks

sure.

11:41 pm

Jacula

If you keep it crisp and to the point you are more likely to get published.

11:41 pm

Jacula

You won't get edited then, either. :)

11:41 pm

rururocks

that's why I'm starting now.. will try to tighten it up and make it to the point

11:42 pm

Jacula

What made you want to write it?

11:43 pm

rururocks

i've been talking about the death of my father lately

11:44 pm

rururocks

how he wasn't a great father .. and just want to put it out there for other fathers to recognize what the day means .. really

11:44 pm

Jacula

Haven't seen that as I'm not often on chat these days. I'm sorry for your loss.

11:45 pm

rururocks

Not a problem Jac.. he died a while ago. We weren't close.. and hadn't spoken to each other in decades

11:45 pm

maggiej

any hints for ou 6/21?

11:45 pm

rururocks

not In + past tense of consume food

11:46 pm

Jacula

ruru - That's a good idea. Father's Day to me, since I lost m Dad (who was a good Dad) means seeing the reminders in shops, heading towards the cards and then being felled by rememering he's no longer here.

11:46 pm

maggiej

tyvm ru

11:46 pm

joso

ou6, win a pie eating contest

11:46 pm

rururocks

I don't know why.. but I want to write it

11:46 pm

rururocks

I'll see how it goes.

11:47 pm

Jacula

Ruru - then write it you must! And don't be afraid to send it off.

11:48 pm

Jacula

Just writing it might be cathartic.

11:50 pm

rururocks

that's what I was thinking

11:50 pm

Jacula

So do it! xx

11:51 pm

rururocks

will do

11:51 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any last minute clues before the flip?

11:51 pm

rururocks

i'll give it my best shot

11:51 pm

Jacula

Way to go, ruru. xx

11:51 pm

rururocks

have a nice night jac.. i'll head out for a bit too

11:52 pm

rururocks

should I watch downtown abbey once?

11:52 pm

Jacula

It's morning here, ruru.

11:52 pm

rururocks

yikes

11:52 pm

Jacula

Yes, you should watch Downton Abbey once - start with season 1.

11:52 pm

rururocks

I keep forgetting the time difference

11:53 pm

Jacula

5:52am here. Grid changes as 6am.

11:53 pm

rururocks

ugh

11:53 pm

rururocks

i'd be asleep

11:53 pm

rururocks

that's my best sleeptime

11:54 pm

Jacula

I'll head back to bed soon for a couple more hours. Might get some proper sleep. Can't lie in for too long - got an 80th birthday cake to prepare for decoration.

11:55 pm

rururocks

wow. .for who

11:56 pm

Jacula

A neighbour of my Mum's who is an artist. They're having a street party for him and he's asked me to make the massive cake.

11:56 pm

rururocks

wow. I wish I could bake.. I suck at measuring

11:56 pm

rururocks

I'm a free spirit cook :D

11:56 pm

Jacula

I'm getting paid for making it, so it's got to be right.

11:57 pm

rururocks

wow.. nice

11:57 pm

rururocks

massive?

11:57 pm

rururocks

what's massive?

11:58 pm

Jacula

Blame my Mum - she's been showing off about my cake making skills.

11:58 pm

rururocks

like 40 people massive?

11:58 pm

Jacula

Massive as in 65 portions.

11:58 pm

rururocks

oh.. great .. tell mum to dive in an help

11:58 pm

rururocks

rururocks

Jacula
