VolleymomDee

192 words, leach

12:28 am

McLeach

thx Volley

12:28 am

McLeach

had one of those sh7, but haven't found the other yet

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

sh 7/44 odd one - archaic word / spelling of word meaning to give absolution or hear confession

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

in 6, in 7 x 2

12:33 am

McLeach

My vocabulary is weak and I was raised in the Mennonite church, not sure the clue is going to help me :p

12:34 am

VolleymomDee

starts with 3 consonants... ends with sound like song Bringing in the Sh....

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

We have large Mennonite and Amish communities close to us :)

12:36 am

McLeach

You in Ohio? Indiana? Pennsylvania?

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

lol IN

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

My brother lives in Pittsburgh, and they, too, have a large population of Men & Am

12:40 am

McLeach

I'm originally from the area of Ohio with the largest concentration of Amish. My FIL and MIL can speak PA Dutch (FIL was Amish as a kid, MIL was almost Amish as a kid)

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

PA Dutch - I love the tone of that language (cannot speak it), but it is a very pleasant sound

12:42 am

McLeach

It didn't get passed down to my spouse, though - parents liked being able to talk without the kids understanding

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

smart parents - I am sure that came in handy

12:44 am

McLeach

lol, yep, my paternal grandma was the same way, she spoke Swiss but didn't teach the children (actually, she didn't know enough English when she started school, and was held back her first year because of it)

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

That would be tough. Were they American or immigrants?

12:45 am

McLeach

I had a friend whose mother was Peruvian, and she was teaching her children to be bilingual, which I thought was advantageous

12:46 am

McLeach

They were American. That side of my family came over from Switzerland in the very late 1800s, I believe

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

We have friends who did that with French. One parent only spoke French, and the other English; both of their children have mastered both languages.

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

Interesting.

12:48 am

flosey

that would be an advantage in Canada, Dee - I always wished that we had been taught both languages early in school

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

Especially in Quebec (and around Toronto). Do they teach both now in school?

12:51 am

flosey

spent my first 29 years in Toronto area

12:51 am

flosey

not until HS

12:51 am

flosey

also, not until grade 10

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

I thought I remembered that about you, Flosey. I just assumed they started in grade school. Interesting.

12:53 am

flosey

I had several French friends from the East coast but didn't pick up much from them

12:53 am

McLeach

Still can't figure out that sh7, grr, you've given me the first 3 letters & if I understand correctly, you're referencing the hymn for the 2nd part of your clue, argh!

12:54 am

flosey

a misspelling of the word, McL

12:54 am

McLeach

just now got it!

12:54 am

McLeach

kept trying to spell it with ee or ea and just took another look at the grid and realized I had another option I hadn't tried

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

ends like the word re...... to recover a ball... dog fetches the ball, so he re....s it

12:56 am

McLeach

thx Volley, but already got it, finally

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

wtg!!!

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

I was at a loss to clue it better :(

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

se 6 se 7

12:56 am

McLeach

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

not seeing the u's...

12:57 am

flosey

I got it from your clue Dee, thanks - I typed this into the add word box and then it appeared, in red below the grid ....was not found in the dictionary!!

12:58 am

McLeach

I just have two little ones, ur4 x 2

12:59 am

McLeach

plus a ur5

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

yw flosey ... hate all of those non-dictionary words

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

I have a ur 5/14, too

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

lol snap, leach... lag here

12:59 am

flosey

was funny they had the entire sentence

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

1:02 am

flosey

1:36 am

grannyrose

ugh...ok is not good. dreams again, hun?

1:37 am

sprite

did sleep, didn't fall out of the bed, didn't wet the bed, grin. So that is all good. But yeah. Dreams.

1:38 am

grannyrose

so distressing, those vivid dreams....hmmmm, i read somewhere about certain drugs causing vivid dreams. when i think of it, i will email you.

1:38 am

sprite

thanks rose :)

1:38 am

worzel

Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx

1:39 am

flosey

hi Worzel

1:39 am

sprite

and where is our pugs? In the land of dreams as she should be?

1:39 am

worzel

hiya flosey xx

1:39 am

grannyrose

oh, and sprite, the sensation is returning along my suture line. very unnerving, as my car keys tap on it as i drive.

1:39 am

sprite

hello worzel

1:39 am

grannyrose

coooooeeeee worzel

1:39 am

sprite

oh, not pleasant, rose, but such good news!

1:40 am

worzel

coooeeyyy Mum! Just a quick stop for me today - am off to see the doc in a bit xx

1:40 am

grannyrose

i hope so sprite, she really needs that sleep.

1:40 am

worzel

Good morning sprite xx

1:40 am

grannyrose

worzel?? doctor??

1:41 am

worzel

awwww - now, now Mum - don't start panicking! I have a rather peculiar rash around my hips is all. It's probably nothing exciting

1:41 am

grannyrose

okay, you always a hippy person....lolol

1:42 am

worzel

Ordinarily I'd just leave it to disappear - don't like bothering the doctor - it's just that I've noticed it under my armpits now as well, so whatever it is it seems to want to stay awhile lol

1:42 am

grannyrose

i missed you yesterday...was a tad worried...are you both okay, apart from your hips?

1:44 am

worzel

Yea we're okay - I can't remember why I didn't come on yesterday morning. Di's just like you lot - typical woman - fussing and making me ring the doctor lol. Other than that she's mighty fine!

1:45 am

worzel

That was rude of me! How are you? xx

1:47 am

grannyrose

s'okay worzel. doing well today

1:48 am

worzel

Glad to hear it - not like me and this grid then! Cannot believe there are 21 coming from the right S

1:48 am

grannyrose

say worzel, have you had shingles?

1:50 am

worzel

Well, the doctor told me, about 18 months ago, that I had shingles but he didn't give me anything for it so I don't think it was. I've actually googled shingles and there are so many different appearances to them. But it says on there that there's a lot of discomfort associated with shingles and these little critters don't even itch, so I don't think it's that. But I'm no expert so I'll wait and see what the quack says

1:51 am

worzel

just as long as it's not necrotising fasciitis I don't mind lmao!!

1:51 am

grannyrose

okay. good that it doesn't hurt, mate.

1:51 am

puglet

Greetings Friends! whew, thought I missed everyone

1:51 am

worzel

Pugs!!!!!! ((hugs)) xx

1:52 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} miz pugs

1:52 am

sprite

hi pugs :) *hugs* How are you, and did you sleep some?

1:52 am

flosey

hi pugs

1:52 am

worzel

brb caffeine injection needed *semipoof*

1:52 am

puglet

Hi and Hugs everyone from A-Z :)

1:53 am

puglet

I did sprite--right after I wrote you I went to bed and just now got up

1:53 am

sprite

oh wow pugs! That is wonderful. Sooo good for you.

1:53 am

puglet

How is everyone today or night

1:54 am

sprite

I am fine.

1:54 am

flosey

good here thanks, pugs

1:54 am

flosey

and you?

1:54 am

puglet

And Rose, I called the doctor and she is calling in a lower dosage for me today and you were right on how it got mixed up

1:55 am

puglet

Right now I feel fine-lol

1:55 am

sprite

did they overmedicate you??

1:55 am

puglet

and thank you Sprite--you always make things seem simple and me better--love ya

1:56 am

sprite

*hugs pugs* Any time, darling.

1:56 am

grannyrose

aha, i had a gut feeling that had happened..so glad you called the doctor.

1:56 am

puglet

yes Sprite--I was to get 100mg and not 300--lol I cant work on the 300

1:56 am

puglet

I can take the 300 at night and on the week end

1:57 am

sprite

omg! Good feeling, rose :) Am glad you caught it from the start.

1:58 am

puglet

I got to say though I dont feel as woozy this morning but I am a bit off balance though

1:59 am

sprite

well eventually you could, lol. I take 3x 600 a day. And I can even drive. But I couldn't at the start. I remember I had to build it up slowly too.

1:59 am

grannyrose

no offence intended sprite, but pugs is about a third our size. it just seemed to me too large a dose for such a small lady.

1:59 am

sprite

none taken, rose :)

2:00 am

puglet

Sprite I do not see how you can function on 600!

2:01 am

grannyrose

even i would probably be ok on 300mgs...and what pugs was describing was very like an over-medicared reaction. i expected some euphoria, but not to the extent pugs was saying.

2:01 am

sprite

if I remember correctly, I started on a low dosage once a day, then build up to trice daily, then a higher dose, and so on.

2:03 am

grannyrose

well that's how most meds of this kind work, sprite. we start on a low dose, and gradually increase until the symptoms disappear.

2:03 am

puglet

after work yesterday I then spent five hours in town taking everyone to do their stuff and paying bills// Oh and I open up my own bank account--saving and checking

2:03 am

grannyrose

yay, pugs, with the bank account.

2:03 am

sprite

oh wow pugs! That is so smart! Well done. Independence, here she comes!

2:04 am

sprite

but rather hard on your body, so many hours in town after work

2:04 am

grannyrose

lolol, what sprite said

2:04 am

puglet

yeah I was pooped thats for sure

2:05 am

sprite

I can imagine. Very taxing.

2:05 am

puglet

Iam not saying a word to W about it either (on the banking stuff)

2:06 am

sprite

no reason you should

2:06 am

grannyrose

oh, and i almost forgot to tell you, physio is going to start me in the gym tomorrow. not su4 if i have that as well as hydro. will see how i pull up, i guess.

2:06 am

sprite

babysteps, rose, remember :) But good news.

2:07 am

grannyrose

don't you dare tell W about the bank!!!

2:07 am

puglet

How did it go for you today Rose there and is your back feeling better

2:07 am

flosey

8 to go but I'm falling asleep, goodnight all

2:07 am

sprite

night flosey, I hope you will sleep well

2:07 am

puglet

Night Flosey and sleep well and take care-hugs

2:08 am

grannyrose

i am doing okay, even goodly, thanx pugs. back just giving me a few little niggles....which reminds me, need to take some magnesium. brb

2:08 am

sprite

you are taking such great steps, pugs! Well done!

2:09 am

puglet

Sprite did you dream of Rob? lol

2:09 am

puglet

thanks Sprite

2:09 am

sprite

I wish, pugs, lol. No sexy Rob in my dreams tonight.

2:10 am

puglet

did you have bad ones? I hardly ever have dreams of any kind

2:10 am

sprite

you do, most likely, but don't remember them. Most people don't.
Yeah, bad dreams. But not too terrible.

2:11 am

puglet

maybe its cause I dont have anything to dream about :(

2:12 am

puglet

but maybe one day I will

2:12 am

grannyrose

i have appalling dreams, so vivid, i wake in a sweat...that's when i start praying the Gloria. it seems to calm me enough to go back to sleep.

2:12 am

sprite

hehehe not likely. Yeah maybe you will, if it is important to you. Not really a priority now, is it

2:12 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

2:14 am

grannyrose

sprite have found a site...sleep apnoea cause bad vivid dreams, that's one cause i have. and of course, for you my poor darling, it's the ptsd.

2:15 am

puglet

I forgot to tell you guys--over the week end I was down at the river and across the road is a open field and a doe and a fawn were there next to the thickets and the fawn was out in the field on the edge of the thicket just running and bucking and having a hay day in the sunshine--was so cute to watch it playing

2:17 am

grannyrose

how lovely pugs, to witness such a display of playfulness.

2:17 am

puglet

right now all the baby animals are big enough to come out of hiding and starting to explore things--I love watching them

2:17 am

sprite

yes rose, it is. I can live with it. Most nights anyway. And if it is really bad, I get out of bed, turn on the computer and find distraction. Or I go to my love and let him hold me :)

2:17 am

sprite

wow pugs, that sounds so cool!

2:18 am

puglet

yeah, its not to often I get to see deers act like that

2:18 am

sprite

*giggles* displayfulness :D

2:18 am

grannyrose

you are very fortunate, sprite to have rob.

2:19 am

sprite

so true, rose

2:19 am

puglet

you both are lucky! And I am so happy for you both

2:19 am

grannyrose

i love it when i can turn over, and find don's hand....just the feel of it soothes me.

2:20 am

sprite

your time will come, pugs

2:20 am

puglet

sometimes I dont think so Sprite

2:20 am

puglet

What happen to that Wor

2:21 am

grannyrose

as sprite says. i didn't think i would ev4 get married again, even after we were engaged. pugs, i had to wait 6 ye5 for don to make up his mind that he really did love me.

2:21 am

sprite

I know, sweetie. But the more you learn to be a great partner for yourself, the bigger the chance of meeting someone great.

2:22 am

grannyrose

wor said he was going for coffee. maybe time caught up with him. remember he had a doctor's appointment?

2:23 am

puglet

Is he sick? I know he wasent on yesterday

2:23 am

grannyrose

just a particularly persistent rash. diane has nagged him to go to the doctor.

2:24 am

puglet

I guess I should go back in chog and read

2:24 am

sprite

nah, asking is fine

2:24 am

puglet

and he is? Hes kind of hard to get to go to one

2:26 am

puglet

so what plans do you have today Sprite

2:27 am

sprite

babble, walking Terra, take a shower and wash ha4, wash dishes. Tomorrow is another day of Family Constellations.

2:27 am

Soodle

Sorry for butting in again, but I also miss reaching out in the middle of the nighting & finding somebody I care for. Then, when morning comes, I tell myself 'Nah! I don't miss the bullying, the drinking, the constant shouting etc. i think I'll buy myself an inflatable man!! Lol

2:28 am

puglet

LOL Soodle--good morning

2:28 am

sprite

lolol Soodle! Yeah, reaching out is awesome if you have a good man next to you.

2:28 am

grannyrose

nice, soodle, is that the one with ha4?

2:28 am

puglet

Sprite how many more Family con. do you have to go to

2:29 am

sprite

as many as I can, pugs. Until I can manage to start on the training.

2:30 am

grannyrose

so that is still on the cards,sprite? your training?

2:30 am

puglet

Oh, I thought this was for your own family Sprite-sorry

2:30 am

Soodle

Ha4 is unimportant, Rose. Just as long as it has the deflator plug, if he gets too annoying. ðŸ˜›

2:30 am

puglet

giggle soodle

2:30 am

grannyrose

roflol, soodle. *wonders where don's deflator plug is?*

2:32 am

sprite

rose: absolutely.

2:32 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah i found it the other night. he goes down rapidly after......* humming....nice ceiling we have he4*

2:32 am

sprite

pugs, no, not this time.

2:33 am

puglet

how much longer do you think it will be before you get to start training

2:34 am

grannyrose

*happy sigh* magnesium has kicked in.

2:34 am

puglet

good Rose

2:34 am

sprite

I don't know, pugs. I need to call the lady, find out the costs involved, then write my letter... might be another year.

2:34 am

puglet

and good luck tomorrow Rose

2:34 am

sprite

ah, good, rose. *gentle hug*

2:35 am

puglet

if I can help any let me know Sprite

2:35 am

sprite

you just save up for yourself, pugs, please. You need it much more than I do.

2:35 am

grannyrose

ditto sprite, the offer is out there , you know that.

2:36 am

sprite

will include you in the letter, I promise

2:36 am

grannyrose

thanx pugs. should be interesting to see what i can actuallydo out of the water.

2:37 am

puglet

now Sprite, if I can help dont be afraid to ask--I would like to know something, if I send money can I just get a postal money order or do I have to get a special one sending outside the states

2:37 am

sprite

indeed, rose. I suggest finding out in a ye4 or so. Right now, just try to do one tenth of it.

2:38 am

sprite

I think paypal is easiest, pugs. And free.

2:38 am

grannyrose

lol, it's not the actions which are the problem....it's the repetition of them.

2:39 am

sprite

you can do 1/10 of the repetitions then :P

2:39 am

Soodle

I know absolutely nothing about your circumstances, Pug, but I'm guessing your W is a lot like my T. My email addy is in my profile, if you want to compare notes :-)

2:39 am

puglet

yes but you need a credit card to do that dont you? And I dont have one

2:39 am

grannyrose

okay....that's one......and that's another one....is that what you mean?

2:39 am

puglet

thanks soodle, thats kind of you

2:40 am

sprite

in that case, Soodle, we should lock up your T with pug's W and let them sort it out between them.

2:40 am

grannyrose

oh, soodle, how wonderful of you. pugs, to share with another woman who has gone through much the same as you...what a heaven sent opportunity.

2:40 am

sprite

oh that would be a grand idea, pugs and Soodle, you could sell tickets! And we all get to watch, grin.

2:41 am

grannyrose

naughty sprite....but i love it...

2:41 am

Soodle

Personally, I'd like to lock up my T with a half starved sabre-tooth tiger. But that's just me! ðŸ˜„

2:42 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:42 am

grannyrose

*chuckling* soodle i know what you mean....it took me ages to be able to say to my ex, it's okay to got out at night now, i've called off the hitman.

2:43 am

sprite

roflololollll

2:45 am

grannyrose

don't think i didn't contemplate it, sprite. not very christian, i admit. but i was ready to commit murder myself. i had to hide all the knives in the sink, so i wouldn't grab one.

2:45 am

Soodle

Lol's in the morning before work! It's going to be a good day:-). Off to work now. Thanks for the chuckles, gals.

2:45 am

sprite

not surprising, rose. Am glad you could find the restraint though.

2:46 am

sprite

bye Soodle, have a good day at work!

2:46 am

puglet

have a good day Soodle

2:47 am

sprite

my love always says that if my father is stupid enough to walk in front of his car, he cannot be blamed for hitting him.

2:48 am

grannyrose

oh, dear....but goooo rob...what a man!! and of course his foot slipped on the accelerator, right?

2:49 am

sprite

right. Twice. Second time after putting the car in reverse

2:49 am

grannyrose

oh dear....LOLOLOL...

2:50 am

sprite

and for those thinking we are going overboard with this... remember it is healthier to have fantasies of revenge and violence than it is to put them into practice :)

2:51 am

grannyrose

and do you know? my ex never had any idea of what danger he was in? one time, when he had an epileptic fit, i could so easily have let him die...but i couldn't. i guess God was watching out for me.

2:51 am

sprite

2:51 am

puglet

2:51 am

sprite

am so glad, rose. It would have been a horrible burden on your soul. Not healthy.

2:52 am

grannyrose

yes, i know, sprite. and not a burden i wished to have, even for him.

2:52 am

sprite

if he had had the sensitivity to know he was in danger, he wouldn't have been in danger, rose.

2:53 am

sprite

thanks, both of you :) Loved this grid.

2:55 am

sprite

4:51 am

grannyrose

lolol, my dearest crossy...you are safe, mate.

4:51 am

grannyrose

it is not in my make-up to hurt a fellow human being...

4:52 am

crosshair

how are you rose on this fine morning/evening?

4:54 am

grannyrose

crossy, mate. doing goodly, thanx. i feel like i have turned a corner. i have a much more positive outlook now. and, you mate? is all good with you and the mrs?

4:56 am

crosshair

All is well and my beloved is fine. I have an interesting day today as I am off to sit in and watch and attempted murder case at one of our bigger court houses for my law class.:)

4:57 am

crosshair

EWxcellent on that positive outlook. Take life by the horns and wrestle it to the ground because life is just too darn short for the gloomies

4:58 am

crosshair

excellent*

4:58 am

grannyrose

hmmm, now that looks a lot more interesting than my tomorrow. work for a 1 hour shift, then physio is putting me into the gym...

4:59 am

grannyrose

am gonna bargain with her...no hydro because i was in the gym...what do you think my chances are??

4:59 am

crosshair

I remember physio:(( my therapist was bright, bouncy and an S&M she-bitch from hell who took great delight in making me sweat beads of pain

5:03 am

crosshair

not good as for the chances lol

5:03 am

grannyrose

awwww poor crossy. i really feel for you, mate

5:05 am

crosshair

lol, my physio was long ago, yours is now:(

5:07 am

crosshair

problem with the one i had was she was so darn... healthy. you could feel the vitality oozing off of her and there we all set in the torture chamber with our busted bodies lol

5:07 am

grannyrose

yeah...am contemplating murder....not really...she is so lovely...very gentle...

5:08 am

crosshair

yes, in truth they must draw them all from the same well. Mine was i am sure just doing her best for me

5:08 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know. you feel like a very ragged end of humanity, don't you...and i am thinking...please let me know you in 30 years time.

5:09 am

crosshair

they used to use the water therapy, heat lamps and some kind of hot wax/ heat therapy as well as sand bags and counterlevered weights

5:09 am

grannyrose

so i can say.... nah, nah , nah *remember me?*

5:09 am

crosshair

lol

5:10 am

crosshair

she will most likely still be disgustingly healthy

5:11 am

grannyrose

that's the problem with all these young things...they have NO insight into how the body beautiful is going to be in 30 years.

5:12 am

crosshair

ahh but they are fine to watch:)) problem is most of them now tell me how i remind them of their saited father;(

5:48 am

6:06 am

Wolvie

nice! glad to hear you were able to go back- i bet that was a tough rehab. my sister had her shoulder replaced last summer- and it surprised how much easier she said that was than when she rehabbed from the other shoulder that they just set. so i hope that was the case for you- but knees- so involved in all we do.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I am back. I lost interest in this grid. Hi wolvie.

On phone with mother...Une--corn starch.

6:24 am

bichon

I went through a period when my allergies diminished, but I think I live in the allergy capital of the Northeast. We live in a river valley

6:24 am

bichon

I took allergy shots but the commitment was too much. Every week

6:24 am

Wolvie

Une- if you live near a whole foods- they make a grapefruit/orange salt scrub that i find very soothing for rashes and the like- plus your skin comes out so smooth

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Bichon--the nasal steroid sprays are the most effective treatment for nasal allergy problems. Nasacort is now OTC!

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

ChrissieDee

lol, we're watching del boy and the dealers, that's funny too

3:46 pm

MollyL

A walk in the park...kind of condescending. Everyone has their own take on how difficult a grid is.

3:46 pm

frogface

ste reckons he never used to shout at tv til he came up here and he used to watch jeremy kyle with mum

3:47 pm

3:52 pm

sc 27, frightening

3:52 pm

ChrissieDee

3:54 pm

MollyL

Oh...sure...it's always someone else who is judgmental...not you...and so it goes and goes and goes...

3:55 pm

jaxx7

o-o, it comes across as condescending and patronising. I am afraid. E-mails are easily misconstrued, it makes us all autistic and unable to read the other person's expression

3:56 pm

frogface

that's what i don't like about typing like this, i have a rather dry and sarcastic sense of humour that doesn't work written down

3:57 pm

jaxx7

Exactly - no nuances

3:57 pm

sukee

When I see someone say "a walk in the park"when something is difficult I usually take it as they were being sarcastic, not as judgemental.

3:57 pm

sukee

But, I don't want to get involved in an argument.

3:58 pm
