VolleymomDee

ty rose... not true... we share shoes often :) !

1:48 am

puglet

No problems here

1:48 am

grannyrose

slight hitch, they have misnamed the procedure. i am supposed to have a REVISION total knee replacement. they have approved a total knee replacement.

1:48 am

rururocks

Your breast augmentation plan went through Rose. ..how great

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

idiot who typed it... hopefully won't take too long to get change through

1:49 am

grannyrose

the difference is a TKR takes about 45-60 minutes. a revision van take 2-3 hours.

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry you are going through all this mess, rose

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

maybe since your original wasn't that long ago, yours won't take that long

1:50 am

grannyrose

i have to check with my surgeon's rooms. i don't want to be lumbered with an 'excess'.

1:50 am

puglet

thats all it has been is a mess from day one it seems

1:51 am

rururocks

*watches joke wither away*

1:51 am

grannyrose

lol, if you could hear the dolly bird i have to deal with, you would understand why the mess. she claims my surgeon requested a TKR, and not a revision. gonna check tomorrow.

1:52 am

grannyrose

lolol, ruru...yeah, yeah, like my boobs....

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

brain fade on his part, if that's the case

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

1:55 am

rururocks

.That way if your arms were akimbo...Don would be transfixed :D

1:55 am

grannyrose

roflol.....

1:56 am

puglet

Its a very good thing Ru is not your surgeon Rose

1:57 am

rururocks

Yeah. She would still have a bad knee but have a nice rack

1:58 am

grannyrose

yeah, i'd have to endure his cutting remarks...

1:59 am

rururocks

I would have sewn it up before that

1:59 am

grannyrose

what....your mouth??? ni4....

2:04 am

jillibus

2:04 am

puglet

wb Jilli

2:04 am

jillibus

and scrolling back, sorry to see rose has to go through surgery again

2:06 am

grannyrose

cooee jilli...yeah, well. if it fixes the problem...

2:08 am

jillibus

What is the problem that makes your last surgery bad?

2:09 am

grannyrose

jilli when i fell last May, the ligament which stabilises your knee was torn. it has not healed. and at my age it is not an option to try and repair it.

2:10 am

jillibus

Oh, I see -- I guess I missed hearing about your fall. Bummer.

2:13 am

jillibus

I'm going to have to shut down. Can't get Firefox to work! Rebooting seems indicated. Bye all!

2:49 am

SarahBellum

Hello everyone. I used to play 2 years ago but then I emigrated and forgot all about the game. It came back to me this morning. :)

2:50 am

Lizlin

If it's in a fire area but don't know about that.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Hi sarah

2:50 am

puglet

Nice to meet you Sarah

2:50 am

grannyrose

2:50 am

joso

hi sarah

2:50 am

Lizlin

Where did you emigrate from and to?

2:50 am

grannyrose

sarah, you emigrated from where to where?

2:50 am

SarahBellum

Thank you all. Looking forward to getting to know everyone again.

2:51 am

SarahBellum

From Ireland to the Netherlands

2:51 am

Lizlin

Great minds again, rose

2:51 am

joso

so rose your surgery is scheduled?

2:51 am

grannyrose

aha, you are now within range of sprite....hopefully

2:52 am

puglet

just what I was thinking--lol

2:52 am

Lizlin

Me too

2:52 am

grannyrose

joso, there has been a mistake in terminology. need to find out from my surgeon exactly what he requested.

2:53 am

Lizlin

But if the terminology is easily sorted, when should it happen?

2:53 am

grannyrose

these insurance people will quibble if every i isn't dotted, and every t isn't crossed.

2:53 am

joso

ah, bureaucratic cogs not quite meshing

2:53 am

puglet

rose, I think you missed my question--are all the ty words related to the keyboard? I still need a 518

2:53 am

grannyrose

yes, liz. just a matter of slotting me into one of his lists.

2:54 am

joso

whole nation is a postage stamp, can't be too far from sprite

2:54 am

Lizlin

So hopefully not too long.

2:55 am

grannyrose

well they all start with the same 3 letters, the one you are missing is probably, ty + abbreviation for picture

2:55 am

SarahBellum

Where is Sprite, also in the Netherlands? It really is small and I'm right in the centre so nowhere is more than 2 and half hours away!

2:55 am

Lizlin

So I'm missing 1 ty then.

2:56 am

puglet

thank you Rose, that was it

2:56 am

puglet

Lizlin

I came here later in the day and checked the chat and she hadent been on

3:00 am

SarahBellum

I'll say hi.

3:01 am

joso

sarah, if did you go pro previously?

3:01 am

Lizlin

No I didn't see her. Just got on with the grid cos I knew I wouldn't have time this morning.

3:02 am

grannyrose

just checked sprite's profile, she lives in Zaanstad

3:03 am

joso

maybe sprite is too busy writing our first chapter to babble

3:03 am

SarahBellum

oh, I know Zaanstad. Joso, no.

3:04 am

puglet

I hope that is what it is. I think she felt bad that the family looked upon her as a burden.

3:04 am

joso

ok, like you I came back after a long absence and found my account still active

3:05 am

puglet

Rose was you able to save your chicken

3:07 am

grannyrose

oh, yes, thanx pugs.

3:08 am

grannyrose

hmmm, sounds like dinner is being served. happy babbling. catch you all later

3:08 am

Lizlin

Bon appetite.

3:09 am

puglet

bye Rose, enjoy and hugs

3:09 am

joso

her family said that to her pug, a burden?

3:09 am

joso

eat hardy mate

3:10 am

Lizlin

What an awful thing to say to someone

3:10 am

puglet

yep, when they had the family group thing

3:10 am

joso

ah, that would be dispiriting

3:11 am

puglet

I know that had to hurt her

3:11 am

Lizlin

Poor sprite. Hugs to her

3:12 am

joso

maybe they also said so spends too much time babbling

3:12 am

puglet

I could get that feedback myself

3:13 am

Haz1558

What sprite said was that the family all acknowledged that having to care for her as an invalid was tough and put extra demands on all of them. She seemed to accept that action needs to be taken to lift some of the burden from them. That was my interpretation, anyway.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Thanks Haz.

3:14 am

puglet

Morning Haz---its not something she can really help and she has to feel a bit hurt

3:15 am

Lizlin

But therapy is about airing how you feel and it's necessary in order to move on - even if it hurts.

3:15 am

joso

hi haz, tnx for the clarification

3:16 am

Haz1558

I'm not saying she wasn't hurt but I don't think that the family said 'You're a burden' - it was in the context of seeing where they are as a family and they would be lying if they didn't acknowledge that it was tough.

3:16 am

puglet

thats true Liz,,I just hate to see anyone's feelings hurt

3:18 am

Lizlin

I understand that pugs but as Haz said, in therapy truth is very important.

3:18 am

puglet

Haz, is that flower from your garden? Its very lovely

3:18 am

Lizlin

Sprite probably also had stuff to say about how she feels in relation to things.

3:18 am

joso

but still true pug, tim has to hear things he would just as soon not, seems sprite has her time under the spotlight too.

3:19 am

Haz1558

I wish! No, it's just an image I googled. I love the colour.

3:20 am

Haz1558

Speaking of icons, MollyL's photo isn't how I pictured her.

3:20 am

puglet

I understand all that, I really do, but my heart hurts and feels for her as I would any of you if you were hurting in some way

3:21 am

puglet

I havent seen it Haz

3:21 am

joso

pug you are just about the sweetest person i know.

3:21 am

Haz1558

It's on her profile.

3:21 am

puglet

geez thanks Joso

3:22 am

joso

molly's icon seems to change frequently

3:22 am

puglet

I will have to take a look then next time I see her on

3:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, it does.

3:22 am

puglet

I like the one Ruru has, its funny

3:23 am

puglet

I dont know molly too well

3:24 am

joso

I see what you mean haz, must be a flattering photo, caught her on a good day, lol

3:25 am

Haz1558

I'm pleading the Fifth.

3:25 am

joso

:)

3:26 am

puglet

3:32 am

SarahBellum

Everyone I know back home watches Love/Hate and absolutely loves the show. I must pick it up after Halloween.

3:32 am

puglet

I have never seen that show

3:33 am

joso

he normally has a big costume party, but i doubt it will happen this year.

3:33 am

SarahBellum

And I think most English speaking countries have Halloween. Certainly any with an Irish/Scottish diaspora. It's even starting to be celebrated in the Netherlands.

3:33 am

puglet

is he the one that just lost his friend

3:34 am

joso

I don't think it has made it to america yet pug, I have to download it to get it.

3:34 am

dizgrannie

we Halloween here but the kiddos have to be careful on what they accept....we only allow them to go supervised to friends houses.....we have had probs in recent yrs with "dickheads' spiking the lollies etc

3:34 am

Haz1558

Seriously, diz? What kind of moron does that?

3:34 am

puglet

people here are decorating almost as much for halloween as they do for xmas

3:34 am

SarahBellum

I have a party for my children, and my house is decorated. This weekend my daughter's scout troop is having a spooky Halloween sleepover after a walk in the haunted woods. I loaned them a bunch of costumes and will be there myself in full witch make up with a smoking cauldron.

3:35 am

puglet

how neat Sarah

3:35 am

SarahBellum

My mother does that, puglet, she adds to her collection every year. I just dress the big front window and around the front door.

3:36 am

puglet

they have to watch kids here too due to dingbats putting needles and such in apples and candies

3:36 am

joso

so they celebrate halloween in the netherlands

3:36 am

dizgrannie

Haz, apparently it has happened a lot here...kids were told never accept 'loose' lollies....but then the 'pricks' (excuse my language) inject shit into packaged stuff

3:37 am

puglet

some of the hospital even offer to x-ray kids candies

3:38 am

puglet

I just dont understand people that goes out of their way to hurt others

3:40 am

joso

same problem here, we just make sure the treats are still in factory sealed packageing

3:40 am

Haz1558

That's terrible. Some people are just twisted.

3:40 am

joso

same problem here, we just make sure the treats are still in factory sealed packaging

3:40 am

joso

same problem here, we just make sure the treats are still in factory sealed packaging

3:41 am

puglet

do you pass out candy Joso

3:41 am

joso

sorry, babble wasn't taking my comment for a moment

3:41 am

puglet

living out in the country we dont get tricker treaters

3:42 am

puglet

I had that trouble earlier Joso

3:43 am

Jackanory

Halloween is much lower key and benign here thankfully

3:43 am

joso

yes, I buy full size chocolate bars for the kids, only a bit more and you get bigger smiles and rounder eyes.

3:44 am

puglet

I bet they do like that! lol

3:44 am

dizgrannie

got get my fill of Babble for the next 2 1/2 months.....will have 2 of my 'outa state' g/kids for 3 weeks + plus the other 3 who live nearby. They have already planned sleepovers....OMG..LOL

3:44 am

joso

naked greed is normally so ugly, but cute as all get out on a 5 year old's face.

3:45 am

puglet

how nice Diz! Hope you enjoy them!

3:46 am

joso

you are a lucky soul diz

3:46 am

dizgrannie

I will, Pugs, don't see the outa state ones too often - only via webcam.

3:46 am

puglet

when my Grandma was still here, I would go help her pass out treats and we would count them. 200 plus one year

3:47 am

joso

I get about a 100 at my door

3:47 am

dizgrannie

my profile pic shows them all last w/end. our 'alphabet kiddo' ADAD/OCD is up the tree

3:47 am

Haz1558

'If you give treats, they will come'

3:47 am

dizgrannie

**ADHA

3:48 am

Lizlin

Hi - back again - had to call my bank in the UK! Sometimes the internet drives me mad. Had to fill in a form and it didn't say only use lower case, so it kept booting me out of the system. But have to say, the Indian call centre were brilliant!

3:48 am

dizgrannie

third times proves it ***ADHD

3:48 am

joso

even the later teens are fun, so wanting to be grown up, but not able to pass up free candy

3:48 am

Lizlin

So now Pugs, you really have got Haz, Diz and Liz!

3:50 am

Haz1558

We should form a club.

3:50 am

puglet

I like dressing up and scaring whomever

3:51 am

Lizlin

I'll join!

3:51 am

puglet

what sort of club?

3:52 am

dizgrannie

I hereby sanction the Haz/Diz/Liz club

3:52 am

Lizlin

3 letter z club I reckon!

3:52 am

Haz1558

zoozoom would have to be the leader, he's particularly heavy in the z department.

3:52 am

joso

I used to put on a frankenstein mask, but it scared the littlest ones too much, now I just put on my halloween tie

3:52 am

Lizlin

Ah! So can't limit to 3 letter z club, then!

3:52 am

puglet

I guess me and joso will have to change ours to puz and joz-lol

3:53 am

Lizlin

Zooz is well represented there!

3:53 am

Lizlin

Pugz!

3:53 am

Lizlin

jozo

3:53 am

joso

josozo

3:53 am

Haz1558

Maybe the three letter Z people would be the most exclusive.

3:54 am

Haz1558

zoozoom could head up the riff-raff z people. (He'll know I'm joking!)

3:54 am

Lizlin

Liking that!

3:57 am

joso

zzoozzoom for president, the most z's win

4:01 am

Haz1558

He knew what he was doing when he made up that name.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Hold the inauguration ceremony. There's a player called mizzizz.

4:03 am

o-o

Will the club have a shillelagh?

4:03 am

Haz1558

As long as the shillelagh is never swung in anger.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Good morning, o-o.

4:04 am

sprite

good morning, babble friends

4:04 am

puglet

Morning OO

4:05 am

Good morning, sprite.

Lizlin

4:08 am

joso

4:08 am

dizgrannie

ty

4:08 am

Haz1558

Well done, diz.

4:08 am

puglet

congrats Diz bye

4:10 am

o-o

This grid started like it would be a walk in the park ... actually only had a bit of trouble with the last 215 ...

4:10 am

sprite

hehehe joso, well I love o-o as a brother :)

4:11 am

sprite

aarrghh o-o, one of those...

4:11 am

Lizlin

Time for dinner. BBL hugs to all.

4:11 am

joso

well that explains the family resemblance

4:11 am

sprite

enjoy your dinner, Liz

4:11 am

puglet

hugs back Liz--enjoy

4:12 am

puglet

Iam down to 96 and have been for at least an hour-lol

4:12 am

joso

ta liz, enjoy your food

4:12 am

sprite

ouch. Sounds like a wicked grid.

4:13 am

puglet

brb--coffee

4:16 am

sprite

coffee is good. Am having some as well here.

4:16 am

sprite

Haz, how are you and yours doing? And how is Dempsey?

4:18 am

joso

brb, popcorn time

4:18 am

Haz1558

sprite, I'm fine, thanks. Sorry for taking a while to reply, I was changing my e-mail password.

4:19 am

Haz1558

I found a strange e-mail to myself which I know I didn't send so am worried that my account has been hacked. Don't open anything from me that has a document attached!

4:19 am

sprite

no problem, Haz, I was happily searching for words while waiting for your reply. Real life comes first, always ;)
Good to hear you are fine.

4:19 am

sprite

ok, will remember that! Lousy people, those hackers.

4:20 am

Haz1558

The annoying thing is that I was convinced no-one would ever have worked out my previous password. I suppose they have computer programmes for such things.

4:21 am

sprite

or they picked your email addy up somewhere and make it look like they sent emails from your addy. They don't have to actually hack your account to make it look like your addy is used.

4:22 am

Haz1558

Ah, that might explain it. It got sent to my normal e-mail address but ended up in junk mail but it wasn't sent to my googlemail address nor to my husband's e-mail (I've just checked)

4:23 am

sprite

ah good. Then it is probably an external thing, and not a hack. Very annoying still though.

4:23 am

puglet

Joso send some of that popcorn this way!

4:23 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't they be better off using their brains to do good instead of mischief?

4:24 am

sprite

absolutely. I will never understand people like that.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I have a very impatient dog beside me who is ready for some attention so I'd better make tracks. Good to see you!

4:25 am

sprite

we have been so lucky here, through yesterday's storm. Several trees went down and they all missed our home.

4:25 am

puglet

bye Haz

4:25 am

sprite

and vice versa. Enjoy Dempsey's company and give him a bellyrub from me :)

4:26 am

Haz1558

Bye - glad you stayed safe, sprite. We had no storm at all, thankfully. Toodle-oo!

4:26 am

puglet

Is that why we never seen you on yesterday? So glad you were safe Sprite

4:28 am

SarahBellum

Hi Sprite. I'm also in the Netherlands.

4:28 am

sprite

hi pug, no, that was because of therapy day. The storm had damaged some trains and tracks, so taking public transport would have been a problem. But my love was his usual lovely self and came to pick me up in a borrowed car.

4:29 am

sprite

Hi SarahBellum, nice to meet you. Whereabouts in the Netherlands? I am in Zaanstad, near the Zaanse Schans. Are you Dutch?

4:29 am

sprite

I did play yesterday, pug, but people were spamming clues and I hid the chog.

4:30 am

SarahBellum

I'm in Utrecht. And no, I emigrated here from Ireland 2 years ago. Nice to meet you too! I used to play Babble until I emigrated and forgot all about it.

4:31 am

sprite

great to see you back here, then. Wow, Ireland... beautiful country. Backpacked a vacation there long ago. Loved the pubs, grin.

4:31 am

sprite

Utrecht is great, nicely in the center of the Netherlands.

4:32 am

SarahBellum

I miss the pubs! When we first moved here we were in the countryside and had to move in Utrecht because we were getting cabin fever. I love Utrecht,

4:33 am

sprite

I don't know any Irish pubs in Utrecht, but there are bound to be a couple... maybe worth trying. Some are sad imitations, but some are good. Amsterdam has some good ones that I know of.

4:35 am

SarahBellum

There's a few but they're either deserted or too crowded to move in, and they're not really the same. I was knowing lots of people, sinking pints all night and getting into a singsong that I enjoyed.

4:35 am

joso

rehi, popcorn anyone, went all out and made cheeze corn

4:36 am

puglet

sounds good Joso! heres my bowl

4:36 am

sprite

yeah, that part is the best about Irish pubs for me. The singing together. Sorry you have to miss it all... I can imagine it can never be the same without your friends.

4:37 am

sprite

rehi, joso, how lovely. Am sick so I will pass, but I love the atmosphere you are creating :)

4:37 am

sprite

well... the singing and the Smithwick beer... and the guinness too.

4:37 am

puglet

not the flu I hope--hugs and send healing vibs

4:38 am

joso

wow pug, didn't know they made bows that big. here you go

4:39 am

sprite

yep, the flu. Lucky me. Was lucky to be able to attend therapy yesterday. Came home with high fever and BS all messed up, spent a helluva night. Slightly better now though.

4:39 am

puglet

well actually Joso its my dishpan

4:39 am

sprite

hah, my all-time favorite word is in the grid.

4:41 am

puglet

what word would that be :)

4:41 am

sprite

you know it :) Pe5 it is.

4:42 am

puglet

oh surely not-lol

4:43 am

sprite

*grin* oh yes!

4:44 am

puglet

I bet that Rose gave you that flu bug-lol

4:45 am

puglet

No one else in the family has it

4:45 am

sprite

evil! I will have to tell her off about that.

4:46 am

sprite

looks like I am with you all about this grid... halfway and a huge brick wall.

4:47 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

4:48 am

sprite

hiya crossy *hugs* How are you and Elegant?

4:48 am

joso

hi crossy,

4:48 am

puglet

Morning Crossy--hugs, hope you are feeling better

4:48 am

crosshair

((sprite)) ,joso my elegant is fine but my teeth are a mysery atm

4:48 am

crosshair

howdy,puglet

4:49 am

crosshair

misery

4:49 am

sprite

aw de4 crossy :( *sending gentle healing vibes to crossy's teeth*

4:50 am

puglet

oooh hate toothaches- feel sorry for you

4:51 am

crosshair

this one is even worse since there is, after examination,no aparant cause.they are pumping me full of amoxacillin

4:52 am

puglet

is the amoxacillin helping the neck pain too

4:52 am

sprite

that is awful. Won't make you feel better either. I hope they will find the cause soon, or that the meds take.

4:52 am

puglet

could the neck problem be causing it

4:53 am

crosshair

do not think so,amox is for infection,the neck pain is pinched nerves due to three herniated disks however i do have a stash of t-3,s on hand

4:53 am

crosshair

can herniated disks cause teeth nerves to react?? i do not know

4:54 am

sprite

nerves can affect nerves, that I know. But not sure about this combination. A hidden inflammation sounds more likely to me.

4:54 am

puglet

I dont know either but when my sister had her heart attack all her pain was in her teeth and it threw us all off on what was wrong

4:54 am

crosshair

tis going to be a long,long month:(

4:55 am

crosshair

i have heard that can happen,puglet

4:55 am

sprite

*big hug for crossy* Am feeling for you, my friend. Really nasty, this.

4:55 am

sprite

where is our rose, btw?

4:55 am

crosshair

ok,i am done whining,how is today's grid?

4:56 am

puglet

shes been on and got her fws and left to eat

4:56 am

sprite

interesting, crossy. Around the halfway point I hit a brick wall. After that, pulling teeth from a hen.

4:56 am

sprite

how dare she, grin. Ok, she will be back then.

4:57 am

crosshair

ouch..do not say teeth....

4:57 am

puglet

not whining to me Crossy--hate you are in such pain and have to wait so long for help

4:57 am

sprite

pulling feathers from a frog!

4:59 am

puglet

we were all worried about you though Sprite--even Rose---you miss one day and we think the worse--lol

4:59 am

rubyfoo

{{crossy}} are yu OK? Couldn't sleep? I'll sare some codeine if we can find a way to deliver it quickly

5:00 am

sprite

lol, please don't worry about me. I won't be babbling on any monday mornings for half a year, because of therapy. After coming home, I eat dinner. And then I play babble, so that is in my evening.

5:00 am

rubyfoo

{{joso{}

5:02 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

5:03 am

sprite

hiccup time. We finally made it out of DST this weekend.

5:04 am

puglet

babble burped

5:04 am

sprite

*grin* You make it sound like a baby on my shoulder.

5:05 am

puglet

well I guess babble is our baby in a way

5:05 am

puglet

did sarah leave

5:05 am

sprite

at least precious as one

5:06 am

sprite

don't know... you still there, sarah?

5:07 am

puglet

Joso and Ruby are not talking too much

5:08 am

sprite

if it were Rose, I'd say squirrel

5:08 am

joso

confucius says; hard to type when hands full of popcorn

5:09 am

puglet

and probally cheesey too

5:09 am

sprite

confucius's mother says: don't speak with mouth full of popcorn

5:10 am

puglet

if you dont mind me asking Sprite, how did it go for you yesterday

5:10 am

joso

either that or I am suffering from the rare orange palm disease

5:12 am

sprite

don't mind at all, pug. Am glad you care enough to ask :)
It went well. Pretty heavy sessions, all, but they were good and helpful.

5:12 am

sprite

lol joso

5:13 am

puglet

I always care but dont want you think Iam nosing into your personal afairs

5:13 am

sprite

you are never nosy, pug. Please feel free to ask. *hugs*

5:15 am

puglet

Joso, that stuff isnt the best choice for a dieabetic,is it?

5:16 am

Lizlin

Few minutes more on the grid! 137 down and struggling!

5:16 am

sprite

oh, btw, the psychomotoric therapist asked me again to do a mindful meditation with the group. It is kinda ni4 to do that, I enjoy working with a group again, however short.

5:16 am

crosshair

yaaa! babble is back!

5:16 am

sprite

hiya crossy! Did the hiccup kill your connection?

5:16 am

joso

i make many choices that are not the best choice for a diabetic, being bright and knowing the right answers is not the same as having the will to do the right thing.

5:17 am

sprite

argh, ain't that the truth, joso.

5:17 am

puglet

you are suppose to set a good example for our sister Sprite--lol

5:17 am

sprite

oh joso, I was meaning to ask you... what do you recommend for a diabetic when she has a fever? My BS levels are all over the place :(

5:18 am

crosshair

i am sorry you are not well,sprite:(

5:19 am

sprite

just a minor flu, crossy, don't worry :)

5:19 am

joso

good lord, don't look to me as an example, advice and knowledge sure, example, very poor choice

5:20 am

sprite

hey, you are my leading expert on diabetes, joso, lol.

5:20 am

joso

I know quite a bit about it, but I bet pug knows more

5:20 am

crosshair

here,we use tylenol brands of meds to break a fever,no sugar in them as far as i know

5:21 am

sprite

let me check

5:21 am

joso

I stick to tried and true asprin

5:21 am

ivesy3

sickness plays havoc on diabetics... lots of fluid sprite..try to walk a bit to keep the bs level even. and yes tylenol. or something on that line

5:21 am

crosshair

puglet

I just know through taking care of my sister--thats different then having it

5:21 am

sprite

ah that is paracetamol. Ok, am taking that to break the fever.

5:22 am

sprite

hi ivesy! Thanks. Will try and ride my hometrainer later on then. And lots of fluid is a good advice. *filling water glass again*

5:22 am

crosshair

then,fluds,fluids,fluids

5:23 am

puglet

here at our drug stores they have a section of meds that are okay for diabetics(like cough meds and flu)

5:23 am

ivesy3

good morning.... i take predsione for my copd..raise my blood sugar.. but keeps my lungs clear..it a vicious circle

5:23 am

joso

I wish i had you around pug, willpower is so much stronger when applied by someone else, lol

5:23 am

puglet

Morning ivesy

5:23 am

crosshair

a section with preapproved med is a good idea

5:23 am

ivesy3

hi pug.. yes we have that here too.. helpful

5:24 am

crosshair

and predsione in and of itself has a whole array of side effects

5:24 am

sprite

back with half liter glass of water

5:24 am

puglet

I need someone like that for my smoking habit

5:25 am

sprite

oh de4, prednisone is ugly stuff. So sorry you need it, ivesy. But clear lungs are highly important.

5:25 am

sprite

pug, you will give up smoking willingly at Lent.

5:25 am

ivesy3

yes crossy..so many side effects.. dr. will only let me take for a week. and hope u are feeling better..

5:25 am

crosshair

gasp!!! you still smoking,puglet???

5:25 am

crosshair

ty,ivesy.i am fighting the good fight

5:25 am

ivesy3

my son started taking wellbutrin for depression..also helped him stop smoking..

5:25 am

puglet

do you want the truth Crossy-lol

5:26 am

crosshair

i took webutrin when i quit in 2002

5:26 am

sprite

wow, that is great, ivesy.

5:26 am

ivesy3

now he doesnt smoke doesnt use drugs..works out and eats healthy... just needs a job......sigh

5:27 am

joso

I have found cough meds just extend a flu into a longer milder flu or cold, I just drink buckets and keep a roll of toilet paper with me for tissues, run it out as fast as i can.

5:27 am

sprite

a good job would help him keep up the good work, ivesy. Will hold him in my prayers.

5:27 am

crosshair

i am glad for him,ivesy.he has come a long way

5:27 am

sprite

sounds like good advice to me, joso. That and paracetamol for the fever.

5:27 am

crosshair

i love neo-citrin as well when a stubborn cold is on me

5:27 am

ivesy3

ty ... he keeps trying , applying..which is a huge step for him..

5:28 am

crosshair

but too much sugar for diabetics i would imagine

5:28 am

sprite

not an easy process for sure. He shows lots of courage, ivesy.

5:28 am

sprite

checking neo-citrin

5:28 am

ivesy3

unfortunately my colds always turns into bronchitis..a diabetic with copd isnt good with bronchitis lol

5:29 am

crosshair

i love the stuff,sprite.i get the honey lemon or the hot apple cider ones

5:29 am

crosshair

i would think not!,ivesy

5:29 am

puglet

same for me too Ivesy

5:30 am

sprite

don't think we have it here, crossy. But we do have something like it, that comes in lemon taste only.

5:30 am

joso

also hot showers, for a whole 5 minutes after a steaming shower i can breath right.

5:31 am

crosshair

yes,steam is always nice.do you have one of those old fashioned vaporizers,sprite?

5:31 am

joso

how goes the book sprite

5:32 am

puglet

Sticking your no4 in a vicks jar helps too!

5:32 am

sprite

no, crossy. We use the even older fashioned tub and towel method.

5:32 am

crosshair

i remember ours.held about 2 litres of water and had a cup in the top to hold vics vap-o-rub

5:32 am

ivesy3

lol.. love vicks vapor rub..

5:32 am

sprite

joso: it was on hold for 2 days. Will be moving forward again today :)

5:32 am

crosshair

vics rub is amazing.there is always some in our medicine cabinet

5:32 am

sprite

we have that too. I will rub it on tonight, good idea.

5:33 am

puglet

yeah me too and the cold mist helps me more then the steam

5:33 am

crosshair

yes,i hear they have cold mist vaporizers now as we3ll

5:34 am

puglet

I save the empties to use to sniff(its much like the no4 stick)

5:34 am

crosshair

what genre of novel you writing,sprite?

5:35 am

crosshair

yes,the "empties" can be used in that way for a long time

5:35 am

sprite

fantasy, crossy

5:36 am

crosshair

good,there are too few ladies doing fantasy.well anne mcarthy,robin hobb are good examples

5:36 am

sprite

and mercedes lackey and patricia briggs

5:37 am

puglet

Hows your schooling going Crossy

5:37 am

crosshair

the liveship series was very,very interesting but i found that in the last book she was just in a hurry to tie up all the loose ends in the last 50 pages and move on to her next book it seemed

5:38 am

crosshair

it is going very well,puglet.it is surprising me how much i am enjoying english

5:38 am

puglet

does your wife read brail Crossy

5:39 am

crosshair

no,she does not,puglet,but we are blessed in the fact that as of right now she is retaining some sight at 20/400

5:39 am

sprite

oh I hear you, crossy. It shows, doesn't it? I had the same feeling with Goodkind's 5th Sword of Truth book. (soul of the fire). Like the publisher was rushing him and he just wrote to end it quickly.

5:39 am

puglet

I always enjoyed english too when I was in school

5:40 am

crosshair

it showed big time.was a sad ending to an epic series

5:40 am

crosshair

in the writing world,i feel that if you do not have the time to finish it off propery,then it is best not to start it at all

5:40 am

puglet

thats like the left behind series, the last book was a disapointment

5:41 am

crosshair

properly

5:41 am

sprite

I agree.

5:41 am

crosshair

i have a funny feeling most babblers do well in english

5:41 am

crosshair

lol

5:42 am

ivesy3

a good triolgy is the delirum one, by lauren oliver.

5:42 am

sprite

oh, writing that one down, thanks ivesy!

5:42 am

puglet

lol, thats probally true

5:43 am

crosshair

if you love fantasy,have you ladies read the Thomas Covenant series by Stephen R Donaldson?

5:43 am

ivesy3

its about the govern. law that teenagers have the ability to love taken away..

5:43 am

crosshair

but be warned,it is 9 novels long and a commitment

5:44 am

joso

I found shogun like that, very detailed book, then one page at the end that covers 3 times the period covered by the last 2000 pages

5:44 am

Lizlin

Loved Thomas Covenant series but ages since I read it.

5:44 am

ivesy3

just finiished hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet.very good

5:44 am

crosshair

did you get to read his last three in the series,liz?

5:45 am

crosshair

fatal reverant, all things ending etc?

5:45 am

sprite

oh yes! I had the same with Shogun.

5:45 am

Lizlin

Probably not. I borrowed the books from a friend - as I said it was a very long time ago!

5:46 am

crosshair

i enjoyed sho-gun and like you,i found it a tad rushed at the end,but not so badly as the other examples we listed in here

5:46 am

Lizlin

I might see if they're available to download and reread the series.

5:46 am

crosshair

you ladies know Peter Benchy,the author of Jaws?

5:47 am

puglet

I do Crossy

5:47 am

sprite

if you can't find them, let me know, Liz. I might have them for you. Epub a good format for you?

5:47 am

sprite

not really, crossy. Worth reading?

5:47 am

joso

a hem, this lady knows benchy, yes

5:48 am

crosshair

well ,he did another novel that is very brilliant but was overshadowed by jaws. it is called Q- Clearance. it is a tale where a simple meek pentagon office cubicle drone is mistakenly given top security clearance and as a result ends up as the presidents right hand man

5:48 am

puglet

the book of Jaws so much better then the movie

5:48 am

Lizlin

Don't know cross - tend just to use iBooks or Kindle.

5:49 am

crosshair

look it up.a tad hard to find but biblio.com will have inexpensive copies available

5:49 am

Lizlin

Read on my iPad.

5:49 am

sprite

lol joso. You are so relaxed and confident in your male-ness that you can handle crossy's slip.

5:49 am

joso

yes, one of the prime cases of book being so much more than movie, and the movie was great

5:49 am

crosshair

oh sorry bout that joso:)

5:49 am

joso

:)

5:49 am

crosshair

if i find it in digital format i will make sure a copy gets around

5:50 am

joso

Q-clearance, Will look for it in the next used book store prowl

5:51 am

crosshair

you will enjoy it,joso

5:51 am

crosshair

i always look for the lesser know titles from a big author.they often end up as hidden gems

5:51 am

joso

first thing mentioned that i haven't already read.

5:52 am

crosshair

like for James Clavell i recommend King Rat

5:53 am

crosshair

a nice small book you can sit down with at breakfast and finish while in bed at 11 pm

5:53 am

puglet

Its time for me to part from you wonderful babblers, wishing you all a thousand blessings and hugs too---tomorrow--GB

5:53 am

joso

oh, have read all of clavell

5:53 am

sprite

crossy, do you have the Q-clearance book as an epub?

5:53 am

crosshair

no,i do not,sprite.wish i did

5:53 am

sprite

bye pug, have a lovely day, darling lady

5:53 am

Lizlin

Night pugs - enjoy your day. Hugs to you.

5:53 am

crosshair

tc,pugs

5:53 am

sprite

ok will search for it as well then. Usenet does not have it at the moment.

5:54 am

Lizlin

I'm also off - might be back to finish later, otherwise tomorrow. Hugs to all :)

5:54 am

crosshair

and bookos.coom seems to have been scraped clean by the copyright people

5:54 am

sprite

bye Liz, have a peaceful evening *hugs*

5:54 am

crosshair

tc,liz

5:54 am

sprite

lol indeed crossy, I noticed that

5:55 am

crosshair

there is one thing i highly recommed and it is in with the free to use stuff,is the readers edition of Mark Twains recently released autobiography

5:56 am

crosshair

there is and egghead edition,but you will get buried alive in footnotes;)

5:56 am

joso

dam, stayed up way too late, if you all weren't such fine company I wouldn't have this problem.

5:57 am

crosshair

footnotes,to me, are like bugs.as soon as you see one just step on it and kill it so it does not have a chance to breed

5:57 am

crosshair

time enough to sleep in the grave ,joso

5:57 am

joso

except pratchett footnotes, little gems those

5:59 am

joso

ooooh crossy, you are sucking me in again, gotta go, bye all, *poof*

5:59 am

sprite

some footnotes are really part of the story. Like with Douglas Addams.

5:59 am

sprite

bye joso *hugs*

6:00 am

sprite

well, first run through my sources render no existing epub of the Q clearance book, crossy :(

6:01 am

sprite

btw make sure you search for benchley and not benchy, lol.

6:03 am

rbud

amazon has it in hardcover or paperback for a penny - plus $3.99 shipping, of course. a penny? wow

6:05 am

crosshair

yup.i often get books like that.good servicable hard or softcover,not pretty but readable for just pennies

6:06 am

crosshair

make sure to check www.biblio.com as well.they have fast,reliable shipping and their help desk really goes the extra mile

6:06 am

rbud

I can only assume the S & H is what makes it worth their while to bother? they can't make much more than a dollar on a penny book, I think

6:06 am

sprite

but is that for the netherlands as well?

6:07 am

crosshair

biblio ships world wide

6:07 am

crosshair

one of the main reasons i use it as untill lately, many us companies shunned Canada

6:07 am

rbud

I've sent lots of books, usually runs from $2.50 to $3.50 per, at book rate. but that's the US post.

6:08 am

crosshair

for the longest time we used to run into order forms that would only take zip codes and not postal codes and we knew that once again we had been segregated lol

6:08 am

rbud

hmmm, have never looked at biblio, ty

6:09 am

crosshair

take a gander,rbud.it is very nice

6:09 am

crosshair

in most average cass,the cost of a mid quality book will match the shipping charge i find

6:09 am

sprite

hm looks good, crossy. Will give it a try for the Q clearance book, that sounds really fun

6:09 am

crosshair

that would be F grade opr better

6:10 am

crosshair

cases

6:11 am

crosshair

it is,sprite,can you imagine,sitting there,doing your boring job and suddenly have clearance to the most vital areas of the government and the presidents ear

6:12 am

crosshair

well,not just his ear,but all of him.having JUST his ear would be kind of gross:)

6:12 am

sprite

ok, ordered Q clearance for 6 euro including porto. We will see :)

6:12 am

crosshair

yaaaa!

6:13 am

sprite

sounds like a wonderful read, crossy. Can't wait until the book arrives. Might take up to 2 weeks.

6:13 am

crosshair

hardcover or soft?

6:13 am

rbud

I love getting books in the mail! :D

6:14 am

crosshair

yes,rbud.it is like mailing a present to yourself;)

6:14 am

sprite

paperback

6:15 am

crosshair

anyone remember those scholatic books clubs in school and how you would pester your mum and da for some money to order a few books?

6:15 am

sprite

oh me too, rbud! Such a lovely feeling. A gift to yourself and then knowing you will have hours of fun aghead of you

6:15 am

sprite

ahead* even

6:15 am

crosshair

a new book is like having a whole new universe to explore

6:15 am

sprite

we didn't have those in the netherlands, crossy

6:16 am

rbud

oh yes, crossy, loved seeing how much I could get for what they'd let me have.

6:16 am

crosshair

poor sprite;(( our class used to lost it collective little mind when the catalogues came in

6:16 am

crosshair

lose

6:17 am

rbud

the catalogues even smelled good, haha, like weekly reader papers (I liked those, too)

6:17 am

crosshair

what grade of copy were you able to get for 6 euro,sprite?

6:18 am

sprite

we did have a school library, and at my home there was never a shortage of books. My most frustrating moments were when I had read all I was allowed and had to wait to grow older before I could start on a new one.

6:18 am

sprite

it said Very good, crossy

6:18 am

crosshair

ahh yes,the age limitation.they opened up the adult section in the library to me at 13

6:19 am

sprite

it says: CORONET PAPERBACK EDITION 1988 VERY GOOD

6:19 am

crosshair

first 2 i picked up were Tolkien,august dearlth and h.p lovecraft lol

6:19 am

sprite

lol same for me, crossy! They said I was the only one who had read all children books.

6:20 am

ivesy3

pretty tame for a wild dream i know lol

6:20 am

sprite

omg... that is better than working in a candy store, ivesy!

6:21 am

rbud

I like buying used books at second hand stores and finding old bookmarks, letters, even photos and stuff in them

6:21 am

ivesy3

i know sprite lol...and so great recommending books to the patrons. .

6:21 am

crosshair

that is well.i know it is a hard to find title for this author,so 6 euro(about 8 CAD) while a tad high,is in line with this book and they story itself will be enjoyed many times

6:22 am

sprite

oh yes, so nice, that.

6:22 am

ivesy3

ok i admit it.... hello i am a book addict

6:22 am

sprite

yeah, it's ok crossy, it is not a bad price for a second hand book and handling/postage

6:22 am

crosshair

99% of babblers are i believe

6:23 am

sprite

hello ivesy. Ain't we all, grin.

6:23 am

crosshair

the other 1% are in denial

6:23 am

6:24 am

crosshair

at least there are self-help books out for denial:))))

6:24 am

Hiyas, kiddos! 67 left. Thought I'd mooch a clue or two.

10:44 am

10:44 am

Judi

DA7 ?

10:46 am

Uneaixoise

here you get milk products

10:46 am

Uneaixoise

*where

10:46 am

Judi

The supermarket? Duh. TY.

10:48 am

Uneaixoise

:-)

10:49 am

Judi

Just reading back in chat a bit. Hurshy - isn't Marty your cat? Does he have the shocks during or after the chemo?

10:50 am

Uneaixoise

back in the '70s I was visiting a friend in Gloucestershire and was amazed when we actually walked to the da*** for milk and yogurt! :-)

10:51 am

Judi

We have an organic da that just moved to our town! They will sell milk, yogurt, ice cream (God help us) and cheese. Expensive stuff, but really really good.

10:51 am

Uneaixoise

yum . . .

10:52 am

Judi

We already buy their milk at the local natural food store. Hopefully, it will go down in price now that they're local. (Dream on).

10:53 am

Judi

Wi6/36?

10:53 am

MollyL

I wish I could afford the organic stuff, but it's so much more expensive.

10:53 am

Judi

NM. Just saw it.

10:54 am

Judi

The taste difference is really incredible. So much more flavorful. Probably more fat in it. Although, they say they only heat it to 165 deg - just enough to kill the bacteria without zapping all the flavor out of it.

10:55 am

MollyL

Our Wegman's has everything organic and everything Kosher, but the prices are much higher than the regular stuff.

10:55 am

Judi

I'm trying to get my hubby to switch with me to 2%. He turns up his little snout at me. Never try to convert a farm boy.

10:56 am

Judi

Wegmans and Whole Foods prices are ridonkulous.

10:56 am

MollyL

My kids grew up on 2%. Now they won't drink anything but whole milk.

10:56 am

Uneaixoise

some of whole foods' yogurts are 3-4 bucks and eggs $5 a dozen

10:57 am

Uneaixoise

don't like any milk but skim

10:57 am

MollyL

Wegman's has some great prices, if you stick to the regular stuff. It's their specialty items that are sky high.

10:57 am

Judi

My family grew up on skim too. Now it's yeech.

10:58 am

Judi

Can get farm fresh eggs at the farmers market for $3.00 doz. They are all different colors and sizes. I'm partial to the blue ones myself. :-)

10:59 am

Uneaixoise

one of my mom's caregivers used to bring us eggs in rainbow colors -- so fun!

10:59 am

Judi

Some of the eggs are HUGE. I feel sorry for the poor hens that have to eject those suckers.

10:59 am

Uneaixoise

some of her chickens were exotic ones from asia --looked like club kids!!!

11:00 am

Judi

Again - the taste is so much better.

11:00 am

Uneaixoise

yes!!!

11:01 am

Judi

<<<<<<< Sure, buy another dozen of Lucifer's testicles.

11:01 am

Uneaixoise

11:06 am

Judi

Only to the folks in Wisconsin.

11:07 am

Uneaixoise

one of the French words enable says no to . . .

11:07 am

MollyL

Enable says no to a lot of French words

11:07 am

Uneaixoise

yup

11:08 am

hurshy

enable says "non" to them, it's more ironic that way

11:08 am

Uneaixoise

:-)

11:08 am
