WB, Spritey...how did it go?

5:21 am

zoozzoom

Oh and plural, Pugs otherwise it will not take.

5:22 am

sprite

very well, thanks for asking :) Fitted and all, it went fine. Who knows, this might help with the swelling and all as well

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Ok off to do sudoku for a while..need to refresh my eyes from babble.

5:22 am

puglet

got it==I tried it with out the pl while ago and as you said it didnt take and I didnt try it with the pl

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Glad to hear that, Sprite :-)

5:22 am

sprite

bye for now, zooz *hugs*

5:22 am

puglet

I hope so Sprite

5:23 am

sprite

lol pug, exactly. The 'plurals' that don't seem to have a singular are so tricky!

5:24 am

puglet

OO gave me a new word to put in my memory bank--pismire--lol

5:24 am

sprite

lol!

5:25 am

puglet

I think its awsome how much or many words our brains can hold

5:26 am

sprite

you know what is interesting? The dutch word for ant is 'mier'. No doubt related to the mire part.

5:26 am

sprite

oh yes. and there is always room for more

5:26 am

puglet

I bet so

5:27 am

sprite

love your new ideas for puzzles, pug! Written them down and every time I have time on my hands, I only have to look at the list and off I go :)

5:27 am

puglet

what gets to me is I will remember some larger words and not the simple tiny ones

5:28 am

sprite

oh pug, that is normal in babble land, lolol. Happens to me all the time. First word I see in a grid might be crwth or ywis. And then I spent half an hour looking for something like 'book'. Our minds work in mysterious ways.

5:28 am

puglet

I need to clear out some on my bookmark pages--but eveytime I go there I see more I like---so now I have quit looking --lol

5:29 am

sprite

I have pages and pages full of bookmarks. Not sure if there is a limit, but if there is, I haven't reached it yet. I love the bookmarks.

5:29 am

sprite

will create the coffee cup one today. Am right in the mood for it.

5:30 am

puglet

good! What do you call the type of puzzles you make

5:31 am

sprite

kind of depends. With the owls and pigs and such, I pick the 'Animals' category. But stuff like the coffee cups, I pick the 'Mosaic' category for.

5:32 am

puglet

I mean your puzzles have many little pics where most is just one pic

5:32 am

sprite

I very much like all the 'Folk' puzzles. I think it is jaimec who puts them up.

5:33 am

sprite

yeah that is why I think 'mosaic' comes closest. There is no 'collage' option.

5:33 am

puglet

I wonder if OO likes working jigsaw puzzles

5:34 am

puglet

I like them if they are not too awful hard

5:34 am

puglet

your puzzles I mean

5:34 am

sprite

those Folk puzzles aren't too hard. They have clear areas that are different from all else, so you can do one part and then next part.

5:35 am

puglet

I still have several of yours to do yet

5:35 am

sprite

mine are never hard, lol

5:35 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:35 am

puglet

that china one was a bit

5:35 am

sprite

hiya Liz :)

5:35 am

puglet

Hi Liz

5:37 am

sprite

I have finished that very hard coins puzzle! Took me hours, but I did it. It was so much fun. I worked it for say half an hour and then stop and do something else. Or I would have gone crosseyed.

5:37 am

Lizlin

That's how I was with Crossy's puzzle!

5:37 am

puglet

is that one of yours

5:37 am

sprite

no, from ladyjacqueline

5:38 am

sprite

Liz, you should try the coins one, it is even worse, lol

5:38 am

sprite

this is the link:L
http://tinyurl.com/n4e7arv

5:39 am

Lizlin

lol! I just looked at it!

5:39 am

sprite

lol, the random letters in the link name that identify the puzzle spell SCUM :D

5:39 am

Lizlin

I've got jigidi bookmarked, so I can get there quite quickly and I searched her name!

5:40 am

sprite

if you decide to work it, here is my advice: complete coins. No matter how big or small. And work the edges first, the pieces with no coins on it.

5:40 am

sprite

smart Liz :D

5:40 am

puglet

I dont have just one type of pictures I like for Ive seen many I like in them all---but I seem to be drawn to the brighter cheerful ones

5:40 am

Lizlin

I loved your rainbows, sprite.

5:40 am

sprite

am so glad, Liz :) Was another of pugs' ideas.

5:41 am

puglet

I did too Liz--have you tried the pig one yet

5:41 am

Lizlin

I prefer colours, too, and love abstracts. I was looking at stars on google earlier today and thinking about those. could be another idea for you!

5:41 am

sprite

pug, I love fantasy puzzles most. And then the Folk ones, and the mosaics like my christmas stars.

5:41 am

sprite

writing it down, thanks Liz :)

5:41 am

Lizlin

No, not yet. It's been so hot today (and still is at 9.40 pm) that I can't spend too much time at the computer.

5:42 am

Lizlin

I also love fantasy puzzles and bookmarked the links you sent.

5:42 am

sprite

oh wait, I have another one for you, Liz, hold on

5:42 am

Lizlin

Brain's not working on this grid tonight. Still have 77 left and 3 q's. Perhaps I'll be able to focus better tomorrow!

5:43 am

sprite

http://tinyurl.com/q9lunkj
I did it and it was so much fun!

5:43 am

sprite

it is not the easiest of grids if you ask me. I am not even halfway and I can't get any kind of speed going

5:43 am

Lizlin

Looks fun. Have bookmarked it.

5:43 am

zoozzoom

Well sudoku was way too easy today :-(

5:43 am

Lizlin

Thanks.

5:43 am

Lizlin

Hi zooz :)

5:44 am

sprite

awwww poor zooz. We want our sudokus to be a challenge, right?

5:44 am

puglet

good night then Liz and hope you can get refreshed for tomorrow

5:44 am

zoozzoom

And i can not do jigi as xbox does not allow it.

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)

5:44 am

Lizlin

Not leaving just yet, pugs.

5:45 am

sprite

don't you have a normal pc then, zooz?

5:45 am

puglet

good - didnt mean to push you out

5:45 am

puglet

you are missing out Zoom

5:46 am

Lizlin

Just had a look at the pigs - I like the pig in wellies! Made me chuckle!

5:46 am

zoozzoom

No mine broke ages ago, Sprite and have not got another one yet...i kicked my last one in frustration and knackered the hard drive...got new hard drive for it...but the computer just would not start.

5:46 am

sprite

lol Liz, I usually don't do animals in clothes, but this one was too funny to resist

5:46 am

zoozzoom

Yes i know, Pugs, I have been on there & i see some wonderful puzzles to complete.

5:47 am

sprite

aw poor zooz! Such frustration.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Still will get a new one soon i feel.

5:47 am

Lizlin

I also don't like animals in clothes - but some things do just make me chuckle and that was something which did just that!!

5:47 am

sprite

yeah if you can, do it, zooz. If you like jigsaws, jigidi is paradise.

5:47 am

puglet

you should of asked santa to bring you one Zoom--lol

5:48 am

zoozzoom

I know...i used to use it before..loved it.

5:48 am

zoozzoom

I am not waiting that long now, Pugs, hahaha

5:48 am

sprite

and I do requests, lol. I discovered that I love creating puzzles with several images around one theme

5:49 am

Lizlin

I never thought I'd like virtual puzzles as much as I do!

5:49 am

Lizlin

I really like your style of puzzle, sprite. It's like completing lots of little puzzles!

5:49 am

puglet

me either but they got so many good ones there its hard to pass them up

5:50 am

sprite

me neither. Always thought it so irritating that the pieces are already in the upright position, and you can't easily pick up a piece etc. But it isn't true. It is different from real puzzles, but it is fun in itself and some are very challenging.

5:50 am

sprite

true, Liz! That makes them easier than most.

5:51 am

zoozzoom

I saw on the news a while ago some person was completing something like a 30 thousand piece jigsaw and the cameras was there to see...as she was raising money for charities..and with about 50 or so pieces to complete it...it collapsed as she had it at an astute angle...devastatinjg or what.

5:51 am

sprite

pugs, tr8/40 is another 'plural' that has no singular.

5:51 am

sprite

omg zooz. Omg.

5:52 am

puglet

Bunches of hugs to you all but I need to get off and get ready to brave the eliments :( Wishing you each a good day or evening---bye dear friends

5:53 am

zoozzoom

You too, Puglet, Have a great day.

5:53 am

Lizlin

That's true. We started another Colin Thompson one today - we talked about him once before. Called Yesterday's Treasures. Fun and challenging.

5:53 am

Lizlin

Have a lovely day pugs - hugs to you.

5:53 am

sprite

pug, I will be right with you in thought. Stay safe and *hugs*

5:53 am

zoozzoom

I think the lady still got all the monies for charity.

5:53 am

Lizlin

Stay safe :)

5:54 am

Lizlin

She must've been so frustrated even so.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

Oh i agree..poor lady.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Ok time for luch....have a wonderful day/night everyone...bacl later.

5:57 am

Although with temps like that, I wouldn't call it a good morning.

7:11 am

How is the storm there, Owl?

7:11 am

72 Temple Owl

is that air temp or apparent temp?

7:11 am

Scrabbler

True temp is minus 4.

7:11 am

7:11 am

Scrabbler

"Feels like minus 17" per Weather Channel.

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

hi wolvie

Thus I have not gone out to end of driveway to fetch the newspaper.

7:12 am

Hi Wolvie

Good morning, o-o.

I haven't been watching.

7:16 am

Hi dawg

BzznBea

Morning, lbd. I think it is na6/21

7:19 am

lbdawger

hi wolvie, hi scrabs

7:19 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, I noticed the other day that you talked about your brain quirk - seeing words and figures as people speak. I have the same experience - it's called ticker-tape synaesthesia.

7:19 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

7:20 am

BzznBea

Good Morning, Mr. Hair.

7:20 am

Wolvie

hi crossy and Haz :-)

7:20 am

Haz1558

Hello, Wolvie and everyone.

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

hello cross and haz

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Haz! I have read about synesthesias but have never found a description of what my brain does, nor have I known someone with the same quirk.

7:21 am

lbdawger

hi bzzz, crossy and haz. if that na6/21 is the sick feeling one, it comes from the N in the 3rd row

7:21 am

Wolvie

found one from that n- plural na 6/21- ill feeling

7:21 am

Haz1558

I honestly didn't realise it was anything unusual until I was talking one day about my inner transcript writer - I got a very strange look.

7:21 am

72 Temple Owl

can you give an example

7:21 am

Haz1558

I asked other people about it and they just looked at me as if I were mad.

7:21 am

lbdawger

hi TO, and o-o

7:22 am

o-o

Hello

7:22 am

BzznBea

Then it could be the na8 or na9. Both from the na6

7:22 am

Haz1558

TO, I 'see' the words as people speak or even as I think. It works in foreign languages I've learnt as well.

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

wow.

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

hi dawg

7:22 am

lbdawger

ty, Wolvie

7:23 am

Wolvie

yw lbd, and ty bea

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

you have captioning enabled, all the time

7:23 am

Haz1558

The major disadvantage is if you're in company with a group of people and they're all talking at once. I have to zone out because I can't transcribe everyone at the same time.

7:23 am

Scrabbler

Haz, I am so excited to learn this. I learn foreign languages the same way.

7:24 am

lbdawger

nbt, nbs!

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

how did you find out it had a name?

7:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, I suppose captioning is a way to describe it. I just see the words - not in colour or anything but it's impossible for me not to see the word spelled out.

7:24 am

BzznBea

Wow! I'm not sure I would like to have something like that, Haz.

7:24 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Haz! I am easily overwhelmed in large groups and prefer being with just a few people.

7:24 am

Haz1558

I was pleased to see I wasn't the only one, Scrabbler!

7:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Haz, it is impossible for me to not see the words. I am listening to the TV now and see those words.

7:25 am

Haz1558

It's been so much a part of me that I honestly didn't know it was different or unusual.

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

you would make a great closed captioner

7:25 am

Scrabbler

I also see shapes with music, tough to explain.

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

and no wonder you are sensitive to grammatical errors!

7:26 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, TO - the things just jump out at me.

7:26 am

crosshair

lol and all this from my tidbit about people "tasting" music;)))

7:26 am

crosshair

life can be interesting:)

7:27 am

crosshair

gets ideas going,people talking,connecting. I love it

7:27 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, there are a few articles online about ticker-tape synaesthesia. Some people see words in colour, just to be different.

7:27 am

Scrabbler

Haz, I am thrilled toe I hear this. Never in my reading of synesthesias have I read this. I have read about how people see colors with numbers.

7:27 am

o-o

Do you two employ a form of selective inattention: Act of ignoring or otherwise screening out of stimuli that are threatening, anxiety-producing, or felt to be unimportant. Conscious or unconscious failure to pay attention to specific physical or emotional input.

7:28 am

BzznBea

Do you see this as an advantage, Scrabs and Haz?

7:28 am

Haz1558

I can zone out, if that's what you mean.

7:29 am

Haz1558

It's neither an advantage nor a disadvantage, it's just how I am. I can't imagine not seeing the words.

7:29 am

Wolvie

very interesting stuff- i used to have an eidetic memory- but after getting in a bad car accident years ago- it is not so eidetic anymore- sometimes can still recall like that but not most of the time

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Well, I am highly introverted and have a highly sensitive brain. I require much solitude and avoid busy settings.

7:29 am

72 Temple Owl

if a word were new to you, could you possibly see it misspelled?

7:30 am

Wolvie

but i have never had what you guys are describing

7:30 am

Wolvie

must be cool :-)

7:30 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps when you were a child?

7:30 am

Haz1558

That's the thing - if I hear people speaking a language I don't know, it's just noise.

7:30 am

RoundBarn

have either of you read Oliver sacks on this subject? I recommend musicophilia but he had others

7:30 am

Scrabbler

I realized this quirk late in high school, maybe age 17, when I realized I could "see" the pages of books, or my notes. This was a huge advantage throughout my education.

7:31 am

Haz1558

I can't remember far enough back to know when this began - I was an early reader, I know that much, and am very word orientated.

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Owl, if I don't know the correct spelling I must look it up in a dictionary.

7:31 am

Haz1558

Yes, I can visualise pages in books but I wouldn't claim to have a photographic memory.

7:32 am

BzznBea

Very interesting conversation.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

I felt guilty in college and med school, as I did not have to study nearly as much as classmates.

7:32 am

crosshair

on a side of all this, here is a perfect analogy of a introvert, of which I am also one... http://me.louisem.com/50/understanding\n-introverts

7:32 am

Haz1558

Agreed, if someone says a word or a name I don't know, I have to have it spelled out before I can make sense of it.

7:32 am

crosshair

sorry ,I broke the chog a tiny bit

7:32 am

Scrabbler

I can recall which page and where on the page a word is, e.g. left page, upper.

7:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i dated someone like that. as a child, if the showed him a corner of one of his baseball cards, he could recall all of the player stats on the card.

7:33 am

Aloyisius

isn't that the same as a "photographic memory"? Hi folks, have been lurking and working

7:34 am

Scrabbler

My mother tells me that I didn't talk much til age 3. I suspect that once I learned letters and phonics that life became easier for me. I have been a voracious reader since then.

7:34 am

Wolvie

hi aloy :-)

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I do have an eidetic memory, but I must stare and study a picture or page to install it in my hard drive.

7:35 am

o-o

Haz, after zoning out, if someone asks you a question about the conversation, what do you say?

7:35 am

Haz1558

I just have to confess that I haven't been listening.

7:36 am

Haz1558

Friends have noticed that I don't join in with lots of conversation going on - I have a slightly glazed expression, I think.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

I also have a "calendar" in my head. I "install" significant dates in there, e.g. birthdates of friends, family, even patients.

7:36 am

Haz1558

Does your calendar go from right to left?

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Me too, Haz. Read Elaine Aron's book: The HIghly Sensitive Person. We withdraw when overwhelmed by stimuli.

7:36 am

Haz1558

I see the week as starting on Monday, proceeding left to Sunday.

7:37 am

BzznBea

There was a man in my home town that knew the birthday of every one in town. That is how he would greet you. "Hello, July 16."

7:37 am

Scrabbler

I see the entire month, Haz, and then scan down the months, Jan-Dec.

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

well that is convenient.

7:38 am

Scrabbler

I am better with numbers that words. Phone numbers, birthdates...

7:38 am

Haz1558

And with me, definitely words.

7:39 am

Haz1558

So, there you are, you're not as odd as you thought, Scrabbler.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Haz, I don't feel quite so weird anymore. ((Haz))--you are my synesthete sister!

7:39 am

BzznBea

I think Hibs has read that book. His therapist recommended it.

7:39 am

BzznBea

Hubs

7:40 am

o-o

Ya, well, God always loved you two best ...

7:40 am

Haz1558

There, I'm glad we have found each other..

7:41 am

Scrabbler

That book helped me a LOT! There is one for kids too.

7:41 am

Haz1558

I'll look for the book, it sounds interesting.

7:41 am

Haz1558

Anyway, lunch time here. See you later!

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Aloy, it is nice here now...but has been cold enough in the mornings to turn heat on. I'm totally enjoying my balcony---it looks like a little tropical oasis. The solar lights are gorgeous at night.

8:19 am

crosshair

when we had our home, o-o ,it was just a habit to eyeball the roofline when you go out. check all the vents etc. we had this wonderful long handled aluminum roof "rake" to clear the load,but often you had to get your butt right up there to clear the vents themselves

8:19 am

crosshair

i am glad you got our and had fun mimi:))

8:20 am

It was good to sing again for people...that's the most fun I can have...love it.

He should stay in. the low temps are dangerous.

We both have 4X4 vehicles, so no problem getting out of the driveway anymore. I told him to dig out the mailbox. Otherwise, bugger the shoveling.

Delaware isn't exactly known for outstanding wildlife. I think the next choice after a chicken was a muskrat.

9:51 am

but they do have a lot of chickens....purdue??

9:52 am

Lots of chicken farms in Kent and Sussex County. We only have three counties. That's how small Delaware is.

"Slower lower" actually. Kent County is the slower part. Mostly farms. Although the state capital is in Dover.

9:55 am

my cousin had moved there from Philly after a break in at her house (she'd lived there more than 40 yrs.)....

9:56 am

penquis

when one is driving through Delaware it seems that all roads lead to Dover....

9:57 am

hego

All roads lead to I 95.

9:57 am

Dover is not terribly impressive. It's more like a small town than a state capital. Blink and you'll miss it.

9:58 am

i was going down route 1, i think....on my way to outer banks, nc....

9:58 am

have been to Wilmington for a conference, but did not see anything there....

9:58 am

to take down a painting from the wall....

9:59 am

Not much to see in Wilmington either, Penquis. More of a city than Dover. Some parts are nice, the rest of it is an armpit as far as I'm concerned. Lots of crime.

Do you know how long I've been nagging Mr. Bich to get a snow blower? I'm 67 and am too old to be shoveling

11:07 am

bichon

ty teach

11:08 am

MollyL

Why is he not on board with that Bich?

11:08 am

wvteach

yvw bichon - good job on the shoveling - haven't even got the sidewalk yet here

11:08 am

bichon

It is good excerise, but really.

11:09 am

bichon

No, if it were up to him he'd have a self-push mower

11:09 am

MollyL

I can think of at least a dozen better ways to get exercise.

11:09 am

bichon

11:11 am

Jillyjill

Hello babbleworld, nice short Friday work day...home to babble!

11:11 am

MollyL

What I meant was, what does he have against snow blowers?

11:11 am

wvteach

hello jilly

11:12 am

bichon

He has nothing against snow blowers, he just wants to shovel. That would be fine with me, except I have to finish what he doesn't do. Sometimes that's the entire driveway

11:13 am

MollyL

Hmm, maybe it's time you buy yourself a snow blower then. : )

11:14 am

bichon

I could do that. Very easily, but I would have to hear about it all the time

11:14 am

bichon

hi Jilly

11:15 am

Jillyjill

Hello bichon, molly and teach!

11:15 am

bichon

I am bitching about Mr. Bich, the Luddite

11:16 am

rururocks

wouldn't that be Biching?

11:16 am

Jillyjill

Buy the snowblower and let Mr Bichon bitch on... ;)

11:16 am

bichon

Now I'm tempted. I know, I'll tell him I got positive support from the babble chog

11:16 am

rururocks

Get a snowblower and do your half of the drive way and let him shovel the rest :D

11:17 am

MollyL

That is what I was thinking Ru.

11:17 am

bichon

good idea ruru. However there was the time I talked him into getting a self-propelled mower and then decided it was too hard for me to handle

11:18 am

crosshair

remove the spark plug when you are done your half and take it with you

11:18 am

MollyL

Or better yet, hire a young, handsome guy to shovel/snow blow your half. : D

11:18 am

bichon

crossy, you are too evil

11:23 am

rubyfoo

hello ru and teach and molly

11:23 am

rubyfoo

we have endless rain and it's about 40F, very strange weather but better than what you have on the East Coast. My poor sister is in NY and miserable with the snow and wind

11:25 am

periwinkle

hi all, plenty of snow here but walkway and sidewalk not shovelled

11:26 am

periwinkle

ruby, I started a scrabble game a few days ago if you still want to play

11:26 am

rubyfoo

hi peri, how are you feeling?

11:26 am

periwinkle

better at the moment, thanks. nights are the worst

11:27 am

MollyL

Peri, don't you dare take your sick self out there and shovel snow.

11:28 am

periwinkle

I won't

11:28 am

rururocks

maybe Bich can send her Luddite up there to help you :D

11:28 am

periwinkle

we have a snow plow that would be easier but neither my sister or I know how to use it

11:28 am

bichon

peri, feel better

11:28 am

periwinkle

no one walking around looking to earn money :(

11:28 am

periwinkle

thanks bichon

11:29 am

periwinkle

I have never not shovelled since I have been here

11:29 am

MollyL

Who does know how to use it and why aren't they?

11:29 am

rubyfoo

does anybody know the poet Mary Oliver? She has a book of poems called Dog Songs that is a "must-read" for dog lovers. It will break your heart and make you smile at the same time

11:30 am

periwinkle

bro in law is at work. someone else might be able to figure it out but that is another story

11:31 am

periwinkle

I might be able to figure it out but Molly will holler at me if I go out there

11:31 am

MollyL

I would never holler at you Peri. I might holler at the someone else though. : )

11:32 am

periwinkle

well hollering at someone else here gets nowhere

11:32 am

periwinkle

less than worthless

11:33 am

MollyL

I have very low tolerance for laziness.

11:33 am

periwinkle

it is that and other issues

11:33 am

periwinkle

it would not be that way tho if it were my house

11:37 am

Jillyjill

Crap, my mom's sodium level is low and her surgery for Monday has been cancelled.

11:37 am

periwinkle

sorry to hear that Jilly

11:38 am

periwinkle

what surgery was she scheduled for?

11:38 am

periwinkle

11:38 am

so sorry jilly

11:38 am

periwinkle

nm

11:40 am

Jillyjill

spinal fusion...she is in so much pain that she is declining rapidly from not being able to walk, fall risk as well

11:40 am

periwinkle

oh dear, that is not good

11:41 am

rubyfoo

that is awful, jilly! Hopefully, she'll have real relief afterwards

11:41 am

wvteach

good friend is scheduled for spinal surgery on Monday - having a titanium rod placed to straighten out her spine to help stop the pain

11:41 am

Jillyjill

Just turne 94 yesterday, but previous was up, mobile and walking/using exercise bike 30" day.

11:42 am

Jillyjill

In great health

11:42 am

wvteach

that is good health

11:43 am

Jillyjill

Now she can barely walk, needs cane/walker. She was here on New Years, I was really disturbed by how much she has declined in just a few weeks.

11:44 am

Jillyjill

Not to mention worried about what they even can do to correct the sodium.

11:44 am

periwinkle

what causes low sodium levels?

11:45 am

periwinkle

en7 pls

11:46 am

Erda

en7 = ask about; uses high-point letter

11:47 am

periwinkle

ty Erda was looking at the wrong E

11:47 am

Erda

YW

11:49 am

Jillyjill

Age, medications can cause it. I am worried as I don't think it may be able to be corrected.

11:50 am

periwinkle

:(

11:51 am

Jillyjill

WEll, there are other options than surgery, we have a pain clinic here, she could get the nerves oblated

11:52 am

periwinkle

oblated?

11:53 am

rubyfoo

having the nerves oblated sounds like a better option

11:53 am

Jillyjill

makes it so they are damaged and cannot send the pain signals any more

11:53 am

rubyfoo

it's like a root canal for the spine, no?

11:55 am

Jillyjill

Much better description ruby...thanks...

11:55 am

periwinkle

help with th7 pls

11:56 am

rubyfoo

at her age, I would opt for that as a first step

11:56 am

Jillyjill

That's where I started. I work that clinic and asked the MD, he recommended seeing the neurosurgeon first

11:57 am

Jillyjill

And until Wednesday I felt she was an excellant surgical candidate...now not so sure with her rapid decline

11:58 am

periwinkle

nm found it on morewords

11:58 am

rubyfoo

I think with the oblation, if it works, you get back on your feet faster than with a fusion

11:58 am

Jillyjill

Well, finally nbt/nbs...that bottom left i gave me fits...only have 69 words though

11:59 am

periwinkle

do you want stats for some of the longer words, Jilly

11:59 am

Jillyjill

It may be something that she would be more appropriate for now. I think the pain clinic MD felt surgery would be more corrective

11:59 am

periwinkle

down to 38 left

11:59 am

penquis

cool...

12:00 pm

1:40 pm

sammysmom

our kitchen sink back onto an outside wall, so ehen it is freezing out.. we leave the doors open and heat from the house keeps the pioes from freezing

1:52 pm

Lizlin

My mac does something similar - you mean they appear as a list under the add words?

5:50 pm

tessagram

5:50 pm

Lizlin

I think it's just the memory of the computer - kind of like a spell check - trying to be helpful!!!!

5:51 pm

tessagram

Hmmm Kind of annoying

5:51 pm

Lizlin

I just ignore it!

5:52 pm

mab

you can dig into your settings and make it stop doing that.

5:52 pm

Sometimes it has been useful though when I've been looking for a word.

5:52 pm

I will try the settings too!

5:53 pm

i don't have windows and don't know how it works, but most machines allow you to shut off the 'suggested text' option.

I'm well despite the cold weather.Did you get lots of snow?

8:00 pm

dan2bit

we got around 2", which is manageable for DC. But usually, we bounce back up into the 40's after it snows. Not today though, so it's very icy & powdery

Hi all. Some pretty bad weather coming across the Atlantic to us in UK.
http://tinyurl.com/k5gyq3d

9:42 pm

penquis

hi...frigid here...minus 4 Fahrenheit...kitchen pipes froze, but ok now....blizzard ended this afternoon...

9:43 pm

o-o

Hello, Jac. Mother Nature is in a bad mood.

9:43 pm

Jacula

Hi penquis. Pretty bad for all of us then!

9:43 pm

penquis

yes, bad weather across a lot of the US....

9:43 pm

Jacula

Hello o-o. She does seem a bit tense (Mother Nature).

9:45 pm

Jacula

Oops! PB for me; I used a grid word.

9:47 pm

Jacula

Has everyone finished the grid?

9:47 pm

cosdem

Bad Jac Bad!

9:47 pm

cosdem

Yes. I finished.

9:48 pm

Jacula

Well done, cos!

9:50 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations cosdem on finishing the grid. Good for you

9:51 pm

Minveryork

I gave up on grid at 5:10 with 168 words and 2000 points. I have a story of clues in my profile though if anyone needs.

9:51 pm

Jacula

We've got the last of our Xmas/New Year meals here at home on Sunday - a family meal for 10. We're doing roast beef etc., (with salmon for my veggie daughter) and I've made an apple & blackcurrant crumble and a fruit salad trifle for afters. Beloved and me will be doing 'jigsaws' with the tables tomorrow to work out how to fit 10 in, since 9 is the largest number we've done before. May need to shove one of the sofas down to the other end of the room.

9:52 pm

Jacula

Min - still doing the clue stories? Glad to hear it! Will have a look in a min. I have finished, but I like reading your stories.x

9:54 pm

Minveryork

Jacula, I only do them when I have time. I go back to work next week so will not do them as often as I would like to.

9:55 pm

Dianne

Jac - what are you serving with the roast beef? Hi all:)

9:55 pm

penquis

hi...

9:58 pm

Jacula

Hi Dianne. What are we serving with the roast beef? Oh, all sorts: roast potatoes, parsnips and carrots, steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, peas, mashed potato, Yorkshire puddings, onion gravy, horseradish sauce, English mustard. Probably a few more vegs like sprouts and chestnuts and perhaps some runner beans.

9:59 pm

Jacula

Min - all power to you for doing the stories still. x

10:00 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, Dianne, since you're in Hong Kong, you might like to know we're having a Chinese takeaway meal tonight, since we'll be busy prepping vegs for Sunday. :)

10:01 pm

Jacula

Does anyone need any clues for the grid, btw?

10:03 pm

penquis

no thanks, i finished this afternoon....

10:03 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations penquis on finishing early! Hooray for you!

10:04 pm

Jacula

Well done, penquis.

10:04 pm

Dianne

Wow - I'm on my way over for that meal. It sounds wonderful.

10:04 pm

Jacula

It's being served between 1.30-2pm, Dianne. Do you think you can get here in time? :)

10:06 pm

Jacula

*shoves sofa a bit further down the room and tries to make one of the coffee tables as high as the dining tables to make one extra place.* :)

10:07 pm

Dianne

It would be tight - you know packing, getting to the airport, 12 hour flight, etc. I think I'll have to pass - this year.

10:08 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay, Dianne. I was *just* about to start packing books under the coffee table legs. :)

10:11 pm

Jacula

I've just worked out how we can seat 10 without too much moving of the comfy seating area, but it would mean doing things restaurant-style by keeping the 2 tables separate. Not sure Beloved will go for that idea, as he likes us all at 'one' table.

10:12 pm

Dianne

Will all the food fit on the tables?

10:13 pm

Jacula

Dianne, yes the food will fit and so will the people, which is more to the point. lol

10:14 pm

Jacula

If we win the Euromillions lotto (93 million pounds last night), I think, when we design and build our dream house, I will add a massive dining room as well as a more intimate dining room to the plans. :)

10:16 pm

Jacula

Dianne - the thing about putting 2 tables together is that you lose at least one seating place. If we keep them apart, the place is there for person number 10.

10:17 pm

o-o

Have one table and tell hubby he needs to eat in the kitchen.

10:18 pm

Dianne

Don't think he would be too happy about that :)

10:20 pm

Jacula

o-o How big is your table and where is it situated??

10:20 pm

kje

tr8?

10:21 pm

o-o

Depends on witch restaurant I go to.

10:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello kje! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.

10:27 pm

10:30 pm

10:41 pm

Jacula

Does anyone need a grid clue before I leave?

10:54 pm

Jacula

Have you been working many days over the holiday, ruru?

10:55 pm

rururocks

most of them

10:55 pm

Jacula

My other half had the last two weeks off but was 'on call'. He had to go to work on Friday but, hopefully, is off until Monday now.

10:55 pm

Jacula

What is your job, ruru?

10:56 pm

rururocks

I sell wine to restaurants

10:56 pm

Jacula

Ah, well, I guess they'd need restocking after New Year's Eve.

10:57 pm

rururocks

here's hoping!

10:58 pm

rururocks

I do have a lot of appointments booked for Jan.. won't be around much

10:58 pm

Jacula

Good luck, ruru!

10:58 pm

rururocks

thanks

11:00 pm

rururocks

I'm waiting for the water to heat up.. my water heater went out today

11:00 pm

Jacula

My working year begins properly on Monday when everyone's back at work. I see fellow writers struggling to get back in the groove after the family-filled holiday break and hope that the ideas I have had can get in there first and sell me some stories.

11:00 pm

rururocks

there ya go jac.

11:01 pm

Jacula

We had our gas appliances serviced yesterday. A regular annual service, so, hopefully, everything will continue to work as it should.

11:02 pm

rururocks

i jumped into a cold shower earlier.. as the hot water depleted and the water heater gave up the ghost

11:02 pm

Jacula

It's an opening, I hope, re the writing, ruru.

11:03 pm

rururocks

I wish my grammar was better .. I love to write

11:03 pm

Jacula

I had a 15-20year break on the writing front, but now I'm back and hoping to get published again.

11:03 pm

harpjane

99 to go

11:03 pm

rururocks

good luck with that jac

11:03 pm

rururocks

it's really competitive

11:04 pm

Jacula

ruru - if you can tell a good tale, your grammar isn't that important, so long as you have a good editor.

11:04 pm

rururocks

only 2 a minute harp :D

11:04 pm

rururocks

hmm.. that may be true

11:04 pm

harpjane

I better get going....

11:05 pm

rururocks

i've written most of an article I'm going to submit to the local paper this year

11:05 pm

Jacula

ruru - I mean a pre-editor, someone who goes through your m/s before you submit it.

11:06 pm

rururocks

I don't have a chance in hell of it making it

11:06 pm

Jacula

Articles, these days, usually need to be pitched to the editor of the publication in question before you even write them.

11:07 pm

kje

ha8?

11:07 pm

rururocks

which one doc?

11:07 pm

Jacula

ruru - I could edit your article, but it would cost you and you would have to work out if it was worth it against what you would earn. If it's for a local paper, it probably isn't worth paying anyone to proof or copy edit it.

11:07 pm

kje

after what we do to cattle thieves

11:08 pm

rururocks

add a bird breeding bed

11:08 pm

Jacula

ruru - your take on the word clues reminds me of something my ex wrote in a crossword I was doing before either of our two kids were even thought of let alone born. He wrote WHMFAMUM and said, 'well it fits!' I've related this to our children ever since and whenever they can't think of a word to fit any given situation they say it now. LOL
