ty for asking ru... still have 18 left... trying to see how far I can get w/o lickety... but I have stragglers everywhere this time LOL
12:36 am
rururocks
If I can do it without lickety.. you certainly can
12:37 am
rururocks
don't forget the y for some of the words
12:37 am
rururocks
actually the y is in a LOT of words
12:37 am
VolleymomDee
lol ty, ru... but you are getting really good on your own! just found the he 6 with the y at the end... odd word
12:38 am
rururocks
I get by with dumb luck sometimes
12:38 am
VolleymomDee
naaaw, talent! You in a better mood tonight?
12:39 am
rururocks
I had a crab and avocado salad tonight and now I'm hungry again Dammit
12:39 am
rururocks
I am in a better mood. yesterday was tough
12:39 am
VolleymomDee
oh, that sounds sooo good!
12:39 am
VolleymomDee
What happened yesterday?
12:40 am
rururocks
oh.. we're putting the house on the market now and I don't like some of the decisions that are being made
12:40 am
rururocks
and I found out my Brother (recovering alcoholic) is drinking again
12:41 am
rururocks
there's more but I won't go on
12:41 am
VolleymomDee
awww, that would be tough. I was pretty ticked for about a year. Word of advice - take a deep breath and decompress. From experience I discovered that being ticked didn't help the situation and it didn't affect anyone but me.
12:42 am
rururocks
yeah.. I eventually got to that
12:42 am
VolleymomDee
so sorry to hear about your brother... that is really difficult
12:42 am
rururocks
it's really depressing .. he was doing better
12:43 am
rururocks
he won't go into counseling to help himself and he's internalizing our childhood (not great memories)
12:43 am
VolleymomDee
you learned faster than I did... I still have some issues about my hubby's new bosses / owners... anger rears its ugly head if you let it. Several alcoholics in our family... watching them self destruct is really tough. That can't be helpful.
12:44 am
VolleymomDee
He may have to bottom out before he'll seek help... that won't be easy to observe.
12:44 am
rururocks
and the worst is we got hit with a massive tax bill
12:44 am
rururocks
he won't live to the bottom.. his liver is in really bad shape
12:45 am
VolleymomDee
so very sorry about the taxes... that stinks
12:45 am
VolleymomDee
How old is your brother?
12:45 am
rururocks
it really does.. after paying a ton in quarterlies and still owing even more
12:46 am
rururocks
he's 64
12:46 am
rururocks
he's got three great kids and a really good wife. he is blowing it
12:46 am
VolleymomDee
That IS tough... get sick feeling every time I see how much we pay each year.
12:47 am
VolleymomDee
Does he still live at home?
12:47 am
rururocks
sort of
12:47 am
rururocks
he lives in my parents second home (kinda free rent)
12:48 am
VolleymomDee
That has to be really difficult for his wife and kids to see, as he slides downhill. Alcoholism is a nasty disease.
12:48 am
rururocks
I was over his house for thanksgiving and I had my suspicions .. he offered me wine..but I refuse to drink in front of his kids
12:49 am
rururocks
My parents had alcohol issues and several aunts and uncles.. I think it was a thing after the war
12:50 am
VolleymomDee
Sign of social status in some parts of the country... one of our family members fell into that social trap and then into alcoholism...
12:50 am
rururocks
damn.. it's too late to eat more and I'm still hungry :D
12:51 am
rururocks
yeah.. seen many crash and burn in my industry dee
12:51 am
VolleymomDee
See it happening with my daughter's generation. Why too late to eat more salad? It's never too late for salad.
12:51 am
rururocks
I see it happening to kids in their twenties too.. all the cocktails and bar hopping
12:52 am
VolleymomDee
Scares me ... watching our daughter and their friends. I have shared concerns, but they pooh pooh my comments. Now, I just hush.
12:53 am
rururocks
yep.. sometimes it is better to shut up than alienate the kids
12:53 am
VolleymomDee
Unfortunately, I really don't even think interventions work... I think the person has to make the first move.
12:53 am
rururocks
that's how it goes.
12:53 am
rururocks
i'm afraid my brother wants to drink himself to death
12:54 am
VolleymomDee
Hopefully, your house will sell quickly, so you don't have to worry about that anymore.
12:54 am
VolleymomDee
He may. At 64, he may be giving up the fight.
12:54 am
rururocks
yeah.. we have two couples interested in it already
12:54 am
rururocks
we should be going to market fairly soon
12:55 am
VolleymomDee
One less burden. I am sure you are ready.
12:56 am
flosey
so true, Dee, son of one of my cousins became alcoholic - quite a young lad, won Survivor a few years back, lots of money, other problems, but he was referred to Dr. Phil and was on his show, has been greatly helped - a bit of that show might be on tomorrow's Dr.Phil
12:56 am
VolleymomDee
Wow, flosey! How interesting!
12:56 am
rururocks
Dr Phil would get me to start drinking he's so smarmy
12:57 am
flosey
real sweet guy - but became ugly with the alcohol
12:57 am
VolleymomDee
would be wonderful if the show would motivate even a couple of people to seek help
12:57 am
flosey
well ru, I think this was a last resort for this young fella, with a whole life ahead of him, sure hope it sticks
12:57 am
VolleymomDee
2 of our family members also became hateful... it's even worse if they are not friendly drunks
12:58 am
rururocks
be back in a bit.. I have to eat something
1:00 am
VolleymomDee
I sure hope it sticks, too, flosey. Our church has a recovery program, and there are some pretty cool success stories.
1:01 am
flosey
great to hear Dee, this family is quite religious too,
1:02 am
VolleymomDee
Not to sound corny, but I think those kind of life changes are most successful, when they are faith based. I just don't see how they could do it on their own.
1:02 am
VolleymomDee
fireworks
1:02 am
flosey
wtg Dee, good for you
1:03 am
VolleymomDee
I had to use lickety for last 18... I just didn't see some of these words (like the rh 5/16)
1:03 am
flosey
lol, am puzzling over that now
1:04 am
VolleymomDee
rh + sometimes vowel + cross letter + 1st vowel
1:05 am
flosey
tyty, would not have monkeyed that
1:06 am
VolleymomDee
yqw... are there any others I can help you find?
1:06 am
flosey
have 53 to find, came in late, but thanks
1:06 am
flosey
you have a good sleep now and get rid of these nasty cold bugs
1:07 am
VolleymomDee
yw... I used morewords several times :). I feel fortunate we have all these resources.
1:07 am
flosey
they sure come in handy
1:08 am
flosey
without these resources, I'd have given up years ago
1:08 am
VolleymomDee
Definitely. Ty, flosey. We are both sick of feeling sick. I am on antibiotic for a LONG time; fingers crossed it will finally knock whatever this is. Hubby is taking handfuls of vitamins.
1:08 am
VolleymomDee
Oh, me, too!
1:09 am
VolleymomDee
I have been putting off using the steroids, but I filled the prescription and will start next week, if necessary. I just hate to be on them again.
1:10 am
VolleymomDee
Sleep well and happy babbling! Tell, ru, I hope his day improves tomorrow!

3:37 am
puglet
to start on the kitchen or plumbing for the hot tub
3:38 am
puglet
it wont be long and you will be returning to work and that will put a halt to your bordem
3:40 am
grannyrose
my last blood tests said my haemoglobin was 'normal'. for someone who doesn't suffer from gaisbok syndrome. it is a familial syndrome, which give high haemoglobins, like a person who has polycythaemia. someone who has too much iron in their blood. and my body functions with more iron than the usual person.
3:42 am
grannyrose
pugs, he has so many projects on the boil. we need to replace the wood around the house, outside, below the floor level.
3:42 am
puglet
that probablly why you have so much energy
3:42 am
puglet
do you eat much liver
3:42 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs, and when it is within 'normal ' levels i am lethargic.
3:43 am
puglet
do you have to take a iron pill then
3:43 am
grannyrose
no, hun. don doesn't like it. and i do not have the facilities to cook it the way i like it. * sigh *
3:44 am
puglet
brb--got to let the dog in
3:44 am
grannyrose
yes, love. and i increased the pill to twice/day today.
3:47 am
puglet
had to wipe paws...another rainy day here
3:48 am
puglet
maybe the healing of your knee is taking extra iron from your system
3:48 am
grannyrose
and our 'fall' has started...i say th4 because we call it autumn.
3:49 am
puglet
we call it both here
3:49 am

Hi Rose and Pugs (and others who are lurking!)
3:49 am

Hi Liz, how are you today
3:49 am
Lizlin
Real autumn here today - I've just put on a T shirt with short sleeves!
3:49 am

3:52 am
puglet

3:52 am
puglet
I meant leaves
3:53 am
Lizlin
Not really - not here anyway. The eucalyptus trees lose their bark but that doesn't seem to be at any special time of year.
3:53 am
Lizlin
Leaves fall all the time.
3:54 am
Lizlin
Don't really get any bare trees here.
3:54 am
puglet
do you have palm trees there Liz and coconut trees
3:55 am
Lizlin
Palm trees, yes - no coconuts. The palms have berries on them.

4:11 am
puglet
I will put in a extra prayer for you Rose this morning
4:12 am
sprite
aw darling *hugs rose once again*
Sometimes we don't need a reason to feel lousy. Just... hormones... weather changes... loved ones that are stressed and us picking up their vibes...
4:13 am
grannyrose
yeah, sprite
4:13 am
sprite
I had a serious talk with the Big Guy about you, pug. Told him I didn't like it one bit what He is putting you through and to clean up His act stat. He agreed.

*giggle* you do realise i was on the back of a motor-cycle one week post-op.......
4:19 am
grannyrose

4:19 am
sprite
I would suggest to NOT take rose as an example on post-op activities
4:19 am
xeiluj
How did they fit over the bandage?
4:19 am
puglet

4:22 am
grannyrose
* head wagging from side-to-side* and just what did you mean by th4, sprite?
4:22 am

grannyrose

4:26 am
puglet
and what about all the things she done before and after this op!
4:27 am
sprite
ain't that the truth, pug :)
4:27 am
sprite
I'd say Friday is early enough to get the stitches out and the bandages off, xei :D
4:28 am
grannyrose
hey!!! you two ganging up on me ???
4:28 am
sprite
nah we are just stating the simple truth, lolol
4:28 am
puglet
stating facts :)
4:29 am
sprite
if we were ganging up on you, we'd be telling you quite different stuff
4:29 am
xeiluj
ok, i get the hint, no listening to rose!!! lol
4:29 am
grannyrose
lolol. now i know you two are in cahoots.
4:29 am
sprite
wise move, xei :D
4:31 am
puglet

4:32 am
grannyrose
BAD!!! moi !! never...

grannyrose
roflol...pugs
4:35 am
sprite
pugs and I have debated pitching in to hire a rose-sitter. Full time. But then we got Don to do it for free. He said he'd take his salary in natura. Not sure what that means, of course.
4:35 am
puglet
I hope you do take it easy while your feet are swollen--really they should be up, you know Sprite

*hugs zooz*
4:40 am
grannyrose
and hellooo zooz.
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Hello everyone :-)
4:40 am
sprite
no idea, rose. Some weird blind spot.
4:40 am
grannyrose
' loves the zooz "
4:40 am
puglet
how is zoom and did you find any goodies at the(what did you call it) carboot?
4:41 am
zoozzoom
Sprite & Pugs you leave our Rose alone ( i got your back Rose)
4:41 am
grannyrose
zooz, has been at a car-boot sale ??
4:41 am
sprite
every week with his parents, rose
4:42 am
zoozzoom
Nothing much there, Pugs just complete rubbish..and yes it is called carboot :-0
4:42 am
sprite
zooz, give rose her back back, she still needs it.
4:42 am
grannyrose
roflol, thanx zooz...
4:42 am
puglet
what is a carboot sale? where people sell things from their trunks?
4:43 am
grannyrose
omg, i so love you girls and guys.
4:43 am
sprite
it is mutual, sweet rose :D
4:43 am
zoozzoom
They take things in there car-boot or trunk as you call it..and place them on table tops and sell there house hold goods or rubbish as i call it..to the general public, Pugs.
4:43 am
grannyrose
pugs,originally, yes.
4:43 am
puglet
love you back Rose and are we making you feel better
4:44 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs...
4:44 am
puglet
like what we call flea markets then
4:44 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs!!!
4:44 am
sprite
rose has even laughed a couple of times :)
4:44 am
puglet
thats all that matters then Rose :)
4:45 am
zoozzoom
Yes we do have flea markets too..but there is no way i am buying any fleas thanks.
4:45 am
sprite
no, we can get those for free
4:45 am
puglet
not even the trick ones Zoom-lol
4:46 am
grannyrose
tomorrow, i go to physio only...no hydro.... trying to work out what is causing me so much discomfort...
4:46 am
sprite
good idea, rose. And please make sure you don't start at work until you know, and can manage it all.
4:46 am
puglet
is it in the knee only Rose or all of your body
4:47 am
grannyrose
knee only...which makes me think it is the hydrotherapy.
4:48 am
sprite
it is too easy to overdo things in water, rose. You don't feel exactly how much you are stressing stuff in warm water. And afterwards your weight comes back on that knee.
4:48 am
zoozzoom
Poor , Rose, I do hope your knee will get better soon.
4:48 am
grannyrose
oh...and the feeling i don't want to eat..
4:49 am
zoozzoom
Sprite..do you have the K?
4:49 am
sprite
I am NOT katty
4:49 am
sprite
I do, thanks to rose, zooz. Think martial art.
4:49 am
grannyrose
yup, sprite. exactly...
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Got it..thank you!
4:50 am
sprite
not at all happy with you not wanting to eat. Any idea where that comes from?
4:50 am
sprite
yvw zooz :)
4:50 am
grannyrose
zooz, ka4, ka + abbreviation for thank-you
4:50 am
grannyrose
yay, zooz
4:51 am
puglet
rose you didnt answer Sprite's question
4:51 am
grannyrose
sprite, don't want to eat because of pain/ache. i need to listen to my body.
4:51 am
puglet
are you developing a eating disorder now
4:52 am
grannyrose
never, pugs...love food too muych.
4:53 am
puglet
well that isnt saying dont feed me---your body is lieing to you
4:53 am
grannyrose
aagghh!!where did th4 y come from? *much*
4:53 am
sprite
ah, yes, pain can ruin a good appetite pretty quickly. You do need to listen to your body. And take the pain more seriously. It is a fine balance between exercising to get full health back and not overdoing things. I think... you need to lean a little more to the not overdoing side.
4:53 am
puglet
you cant mend without eating
4:54 am
sprite
listen to pugs
4:54 am
puglet
just lean?
4:54 am
grannyrose
thanx my dear friends. you are both on the knocker.
4:56 am
puglet
if you got that much pain Rose Iam with Sprite, you must be doing TOO MUCH too soon
4:56 am
zoozzoom
My fater has to have his meals cut into very small pieces and sometimes he says his throat closes up and he cannot eat for days on end..he take diazpan and his inhaler to try and keep his throat from closing each meal time...we have no idea what that is all about.
4:57 am
zoozzoom
Sorry if i have said any grid words in my chat.
4:57 am
grannyrose
pugs, sprite...i am trying so hard to understand what my body is telling me.
4:57 am
sprite
aw poor man, zooz. Sounds like an emotional thing to me...
4:58 am
grannyrose
zooz, so much sorrow, my dearest friend...
4:58 am
sprite
rose, darling, even I can hear your body talk from here. It says: "Give me time to mend, rose. I am working as hard as I can. But it takes TIME. Stand up for yourself and me, tell work it will take a couple more months, and do about half the exercise you are doing now."
4:58 am
puglet
could be that flap in the back of the th6 swollen or not working right
4:58 am
zoozzoom
That is what i said to him, Sprite, I said now it has happened he is thinking it will happen again and so it does..but he just can't seem to shake it off....it does not happen all the time but too often for my likning
4:58 am
grannyrose
okay....dinner sounds like it is on the way...catch you all later
4:59 am
puglet
Is he going to go have it checked out
4:59 am
zoozzoom
Enjoy your meal, Rose!
4:59 am
puglet
enjoy Rose and hurry back
4:59 am
sprite
you read my post before you go, rose!
4:59 am
Lizlin
Back for a few minutes. Hi zooz - so sorry to read about your father's health.
4:59 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Liz :-)
5:00 am
puglet
LOL Sprite---you give it to her
5:00 am
grannyrose
yes, dearest sprite.
5:00 am
Lizlin
Sprite, so agree with what you're saying to Rose. I know it's frustrating for her but her poor body has been through so much.
5:04 am
sprite
I think you hit it on the nail, zooz. Kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Hard to battle. He might want to try and trick himself... sit at the table with food he likes in front of him and tell himself he is not allowed to eat it. See if that clears things up.
5:04 am
puglet
reset time
5:04 am
sprite
yeah it is really frustrating. And so hard for our rose to reign herself in, she is such an active person. But if she tries to force it now, it will only take longer.
5:05 am
Lizlin
I agree but I guess you get a day where you're feeling better and then just do more than you should because you feel good - then comes the setback!
5:05 am
zoozzoom
I did reply to you, Liz with a lengthy reply but the reset time swallowed it..lol
5:05 am
sprite
oh yes! Been there, done that, lol. Still do that sometimes.
5:05 am
zoozzoom
Thanks, Sprite will tell him that..good idea.
5:06 am
Lizlin
No probs Zooz - I always forget about reset time!
5:06 am
zoozzoom
Thanks for the TH6, Pugs :-)

12:12 pm
stidmama
If we can't move in next month, it will just have to wait until after I am done teaching for the year. June...

saanichcat
Yay! That's not too far off. I can hardly wait to see your floors

1:17 pm
uusue2
not really new since the cancer surgery but now that his immune systsem's recovered, the Crohn's (which was also discovered at the same time as the cancer) is starting to act up. So he's on medication for that, and has a new list of things not to eat. It's a little complicated.

You might be a nerd if...
...you understand all the buttons on your calculator,
and use them regularly
...if you get excited when someone mentions vectors
...if you calculate the time dilation between you and
the earth on a transcontinental flight
...if you know pi to more than 6 significant digits
...if you know what "significant digits" are

Hallucinogen

Marc Freeman
Molly is that a clue for me? If so I didn't get it, sorry?
4:52 pm
MollyL
Rhymes with The Road Runner's adversary
4:54 pm
MollyL
If you do a search on "hallucinogen pe" it will turn up
4:55 pm
Marc Freeman
thanks got it
4:57 pm
Marc Freeman
You could have said what drug is an Indian peace pipe? Then I would have remembered it.
4:57 pm
Marc Freeman
But Wil E Coyote worked though
4:58 pm
MollyL
Not many of the clues for it have been going over today. Apparently this is not a very trippy crowd. Or a crowd who even knows about trippy stuff. : D
5:05 pm
Marc Freeman
I know about it but so old I can't remember
5:07 pm
MollyL
Ah yes, the memories in cold storage. I know of this.

5:16 pm

I grew up in SF in the city in the 60's so I was ripe at a young age

5:29 pm
uusue2
got the hy8, looks like someone left some letters out of it (that is, if you added a few more it would be a real word)
5:31 pm
jaxx7
It is a legal term, but not one I am familiar with.
5:31 pm
MollyL
Hy14, you are correct Sue : )
5:32 pm

Good question, nancy

I discovered, upon listing, that I had used the sometimes vowel far too infrequently
5:51 pm

I had no excuse, I just couldn't see quite simple words...anyway., all finished. Bye all
5:54 pm

Marc and Molly, I just scrolled back a bit in the chat and laughed so that my husband questioned what I was doing on the computer. Age does have it's advantages..

I also have a question for everyone. My windows XP expired today and all kinds of doom and gloom have been predicted. What can I do shy of buying a new computer?
6:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hi gramma, my solution would be to call whatever friend you know who has any computer savvy, and ask them! That's what I do anyway . . .
6:06 pm
MollyL
There are a lot of good reasons why Microsoft is trying to phase out XP. Do a search on Windows XP and read up on your options.
6:09 pm
phandmd
Sorry, Jaxx, it turned out I had to leave as soon as I came on. but am back now. Glad you sunburn doesn't hurt anymore.
6:10 pm
Lindrickway
Molly, just for future reference, Brit short goodbye is actually a shortened version of thank you. Goodbye is double the word you are cluing!
6:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
nbt and i even found an 8, woot
6:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
lindrick, not that i disagree, but you should be aware, american think that "ta" means goodbye and are unaware that it means thank you! 8-)
6:11 pm
MollyL
Interesting. I see a lot of people use those two letters for goodbye.
6:12 pm
Lindrickway
Gwen that is american, Molly said English!
6:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
so, to clue an american for "ta" you can clue it as goodbye, but if you clue it as thank you, they might still be confused
6:13 pm
Lindrickway
Molly, I am from Yorkshire and that is how it is defined
6:13 pm
MollyL
I'm already confused. I get why people use ty for thank you but not how ta became thank you.
6:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
handy that we have our little flags in here 8-)
6:13 pm
Lindrickway
Not that I mean to argue either
6:14 pm
Lindrickway
it is a yorkshire word for ty
6:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i can't answer that, i'm just saying, if you are trying to give a clue to an american, they will not get "ta" from "thank you"
6:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we have plenty of good slang over on this side of the pond LOL
6:16 pm
MollyL
It could get even more confusing if we get into "tata" vs "tatas" : D
6:16 pm
Lindrickway
Yeah I lived in Toronto for a number of years and learned quite a few American/Canadian slang words lol
6:16 pm
phandmd
indeed, Molly
6:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
tatas!
6:16 pm
Lindrickway
tata mean goodbye in the UK
6:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
then there's "collision" which means a shop where you take your car to get it fixed after a collision . . .
6:17 pm
Lindrickway
isn't it strange how languages change in different ways on different continents!
6:18 pm
Lindrickway
so what is a collision shop? what does it sell?
6:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
what's really fun is watching some British TV show where they are talking about money (I mean pre-1971 British money) with my American friends and wondering how confused they are by that!
6:18 pm
MollyL
And if the Brits need medicine, they go to the chemist. Here we go to the pharmacy and a chemist is someone who works in a lab.
6:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
a collision fixes you car. elsewhere I believe it's called a "body shop"
6:19 pm
Lindrickway
ok thanks Gwen, a chemist is a shop, where as a pharmacy is in a supermarket here
6:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
another regionalism: the party store. in and around where I live, it's a little store that sells booze, pop, snacks, etc
6:20 pm
Lindrickway
hahaha a party store here would more likely be an Ann Summer shop!
6:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
shall we say two pounds five pence?
6:21 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(tilts back as "Ann Summer" goes flying over her head)
6:21 pm

6:22 pm

Here, a party store is where you go to buy party decorations, balloons and greeting cards.
6:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yep, we have both kinds of party store
6:22 pm
Lindrickway
