Enomis65

thats interesting Sukee - so you can eat the soy but not drink it?

sukee

But, I try not to eat a lot of it.

7:01 am

lbdawger

Supposedly if you have thyroid problems like I do it is not good to have a lot anyway.

7:02 am

lbdawger

Rose, you are always helpful! â™¥

7:02 am

7:03 am

sukee

I should say I haven't been tested. But when I tried soy milk once it felt like my tongue swelled up and I felt lousy. Since then I have avoided a lot of soy.

7:03 am

Enomis65

Ah, got it thanls - I was looking for a way to plural it

7:04 am

sukee

So, it might be more a sensitivity than an allergy.

7:04 am

lbdawger

lol, Rose. I can't imagine that. You're just a helpful person.

7:04 am

Enomis65

thanks not thanls - new keyboard!

7:10 am

suefrad625

good for you granny.

7:11 am

Enomis65

fybro seems to be a misunderstood illness, many doctors don't diagnose it properly

7:11 am

grannyrose

g'day sue. how nice to see you!!

7:11 am

Enomis65

you're lucky to have found a good one

7:11 am

suefrad625

i felt the same way when i was told i have ADHD. It made so much sense. I wasnt stupid and it wasnt my fault for having a hard time learning

7:12 am

suefrad625

nice to see everyone

7:12 am

grannyrose

i was diagnosed about 10 years ago, but the doctor didn't think it was a debilitating disorder. fat lot he knows.

suefrad625

7:19 am

grannyrose

awww, mimi. you poor darling.

7:20 am

crosshair

what's wrong with your arms, Mimi?

7:20 am

MimiCat

I'm just taking Aleve and extra magnesium. It would have been better if I hadn't re-injured installing new computer.

7:20 am

grannyrose

co7, co4, a food grain + frozen water with the letter before m in the middle

7:21 am

MimiCat

Tripped over a cat and fell 2 weeks ago. Injured left shoulder and right elbow. Couldn't really use either arm much for 3 days. Nothing broken, though.

7:21 am

crosshair

did a doc look at you?

7:21 am

crosshair

you probably hyper-extended a few things :(

7:22 am

MimiCat

Then a few days later another cat spilled a tumbler of sugared iced tea into my laptop....it died. But was able to salvage hard drive and had it transferred into this new one. But Windows 8 requires quite a learning curve.

7:22 am

grannyrose

not difficult to do at our age, crossy.

7:22 am

suefrad625

ty granny

7:22 am

suefrad625

granny that gave me a co8

7:22 am

crosshair

I do not care for Windows 8:(

7:22 am

grannyrose

np's sue

7:23 am

suefrad625

got the 7

7:23 am

MimiCat

No doctor...they'd just tell me to rest and let it heal. I thought it was a muscle thing but the shoulder still isn't much better so may be a rotator cuff thing. Might have to break down and see a dr.

7:23 am

Enomis65

clue for ca6?

7:23 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sorry sue, take the extra letter out for the co7

7:23 am

MimiCat

Everyone tells me that once I get used to Win8 that I'll really like it....I am not convinced.

7:24 am

suefrad625

mimi, have you tried slinging your arm?

7:24 am

grannyrose

ca6, scottish word for wise. ca + double consonant + two vowels

7:24 am

sukee

T words are gone :)

7:24 am

MimiCat

The doc I transcribe is on vacation now until the 19th so will be doing tutorials and trying to really learn it.

7:24 am

grannyrose

whoot, sukee, well done

7:24 am

7:25 am

suefrad625

i believe microsoft screws up every other OS they put out. Vista, ME, 8 just wait until the next OS is released

7:25 am

MimiCat

No, I haven't, sue...thought about it, though. I still can't raise my left arm higher than mid chest level.

7:25 am

MimiCat

Typing for long periods as I must also hurts.

7:26 am

grannyrose

ugh, mimi. you poor love. it definitely sounds like a rotator cuff.

7:26 am

crosshair

I went from Win 98SE, to Win XP then right to Win 7. I was lucky to miss all the dud os'es

7:27 am

cameron51us

rns

7:28 am

grannyrose

hmmm, 2 weeks since you fell, mimi. i am thinking not only a rotator cuff tear, but perhaps a spur. and that requires surgical intervention. have you had an ultrasound recently?

7:28 am

MimiCat

I didn't have time to shop around since I needed to work immediately. Still, with the data transfer (had to leave it overnight) and other complications, I didn't get functional until Thurs. I was 4 days behind on regular work and had to enter the 75 reports that were in the old drive as well. Just glad I didn't lose those.

7:29 am

crosshair

yes, it is a good thing the data was saved

7:29 am

lbdawger

have a great day/evening/night everyone! I'm off for brekkies and laundry.

7:29 am

MimiCat

The place I bought the new one didn't even have any to sell with Win7 anymore....stupid. Lots of people want Win7....I miss it.

7:30 am

grannyrose

enjoy, ibdawger. again, it was lovely to see you.

7:30 am

crosshair

you should get a small , external USB back-up storage drive. The are inexpensive now and you can get a lot of storage for under 70 dollars

7:30 am

MimiCat

People have been asking me if those cats are still alive! The trip was definitely the cat's fault but the iced tea was actually my fault...know better than to have liquid near electronics.

7:30 am

Enomis65

rururocks

I love taking flat landers over the edge on Broadway and Divisidero .. they always scream

9:31 am

Anniebrook

kje, was just going to say the same

9:31 am

kje

they have talked about a toll for nonresidents on the street - would hit the tourists, no one else goes down it

9:32 am

9:33 am

9:34 am

rururocks

*breaks out annoying list and adds to it*

9:34 am

kje

it was closed to traffic for awhile - prob wasn't as bad when people walked it

9:35 am

rururocks

most of the tourists don't walk it.. only the Japanese do

9:35 am

kje

it's like trying to cross the GGB on a holiday weekend. The traffic gets snarled bc of the tourists stopping or slowing on the bridge to take pictures... get out and walk

9:36 am

Anniebrook

Muir Woods took my breath away.

9:36 am

rururocks

*checks to see which side of bed kje got out of today*

9:36 am

Anniebrook

That is what I call trees.

9:36 am

9:37 am

crosshair

they can fill potholes

9:37 am

kje

they are gorgeous, annie - so are the sequoias in Sequoia national park if you ever can get up that way - worth a detour

9:38 am

rururocks

I love the park near Patrick's point.. where you walk down through the redwoods to the beach.. Prarie Lands or something

9:39 am

9:42 am

Wolvie

morning all- and rats- i was too busy to play the big grid yesterday and today we get a small one lol

9:43 am

Judi

Feast or famine, Wolvie. The story of our lives.

9:43 am

Wolvie

:-)

9:45 am

Judi

Trying to babble while playing with the cat. Multi-tasking.

9:46 am

Judi

Little wanker is trying to go for my coffee cup now.

9:46 am

Wolvie

sounds fun :-)

9:47 am

Judi

She's a doll. I just can't ignore her.

9:48 am

Wolvie

i hear you on that. they can be a ball of fun.

9:49 am

Wolvie

i better play the lottery today- found the 9 on my own lol

9:49 am

Judi

Not seeing how there can be 8 and nine letter words in this thing.

9:50 am

Wolvie

9:54 am

Judi

Oooh. I just found one of the 8's. Pe8.

10:14 am

Judi

I should get off my butt and go to the farmers market. I'm hoping for some strawberries. They didn't have any local ones last week.

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

mm, the military rank wont work...

10:19 am

Jillyjill

Hello babble world!

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jilly

10:20 am

Judi

It's an odd one, To. Kind of a cross between a cob vegetable and a frozen summer treat on a stick.

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a 7 that is a drapery that sounds similar.

10:21 am

Judi

Yep.

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

got it ty

10:22 am

Judi

I suppose another clue could be "calcification on the cob".

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm, boken toe does not hurt as much but still swollen and vey colorful

10:22 am

MollyL

Good clue Judi : D

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

the bottom is swollen so walking is not pleasant.

10:23 am

MollyL

You are lucky TO. I must have broken mine along a nerve because it hurt like a bitch for weeks. And I have an extremely high tolerance for pain.

10:24 am

Judi

*passes ice to TO's toe*

10:24 am

MollyL

*Passes strong alcoholic beverage to TO*

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

ty both!

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

well, molly, i have mnot been doing much. big toe is necessary for balance, and mine is not good anyway

10:26 am

Judi

I need a clue for the el7 and the pl7. Anyone? Anyone?

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i think i will go do some haedge trimming. later, all

10:27 am

doseffing

eln5 / 7 / 9

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

el7 one of those in the el 8 college

10:27 am

Judi

Have those. There is another el7.

10:28 am

Judi

El7/32.

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, i have neither then

10:28 am

Judi

Just found it. Just flip flop the last two letters of the other el7.

10:29 am

doseffing

the el7 sounds like he should be a character on the x-men ... but it's the same base as the other el 7

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

ty

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

moe than one guitar pick

10:31 am

MollyL

El7...Storm's secret lover

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

= pl7

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

things one used to pick the strings of a stringed instrument

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

padon the grammatical errors

10:33 am

doseffing

... p plus the feminine form of the el7 minus the first e

10:33 am

Judi

Huh??

10:35 am

doseffing

... take the el 7 but replace the masculine ending with a feminine ending and replace the initial e with a p

10:35 am

MollyL

Due to the fact that I have several guitar playing friends, I have a plethora of pl7 in my purse. I seem to be their dumping ground. : D

10:35 am

MollyL

Dose, that clue gave me the spins

10:36 am

Judi

Crikey. Finally got it.

10:36 am

Judi

Never heard that term before. Non-musical as I am.

10:37 am

MollyL

I was going to clue it with the O'Neill play, Mourning Becomes...but figured that would go over like a lead balloon.

10:37 am

MollyL

*Hands Judi a tambourine*

10:38 am

MollyL

Musicians refer to tambourines as "the instrument for the non-musical" : D

10:38 am

doseffing

... I was going to try
eugene O'Neill thought that "mourning became her" but replace the first e with a p but I thought that might be too obscure

10:41 am

Judi

Cat running laps around the house. Must go play before she explodes or something.

10:41 am

MollyL

And people say cats are the "no work" pet

10:43 am

Jillyjill

Only said by people without cats...

10:44 am

MollyL

Shriner hat in the grid, everyone swish your tassel around

10:44 am

MollyL

From what I read here, cats are pretty high maintenance.

10:51 am

Jillyjill

Well, one good thing is that, with an automatic litter box, auto feeder and autowaterer, can leave them for several days.

10:52 am

Jillyjill

And each set of cats we have had had different 'issues'...current ones are climbers; like the high spots

10:54 am

Jillyjill

Babs1

3:03 pm

MollyL

Wow, Sunday must blow out the laundry room.

3:04 pm

HarryHood

I thank heavens for automated laundry...I'd hate to be carrying this stuff to the Charles river every week

3:04 pm

HarryHood

and beating it on a rock.

3:04 pm

HarryHood

especially in the winter :)

3:04 pm

HarryHood

back later!

3:04 pm

MollyL

Amen to that Harry, and I do far less laundry than you do.

3:05 pm

Babs1

3:11 pm

rururocks

can you beat kids on rocks back where you live Harry?

3:13 pm

rururocks

oh kid's clothes.. sorry

3:16 pm

MollyL

: D All joking aside, washing clothes used to be a bitch before the electric washer and dryer came into play. I am grateful those two machines every time I use them.

3:17 pm

MollyL

And hi, Ru. xx

3:17 pm

rururocks

I remember helping my Grandma hang clothes on the clothes line to dry.. HI Molly xxxxx

3:19 pm

Soodle

<------ just back from the riverbank. Washboard tucked under my arm, and wipinng sweat from the Soodlebrow.

3:19 pm

jaxx7

Just to date myself, I can recall the lady next door being given the new washing machine which had been filled with cashmere sweaters by her husband for her wedding anniversary. Did she say thank you? No, she complained because bringing it in had marked her clean kitchen floor.

3:19 pm

rururocks

maybe that would have saved my mom some trouble she could have put the clothes on me and beat us both and saved energy

3:20 pm

Soodle

Ha ha, Ru. Hey Jaxx:-).

3:20 pm

jaxx7

I hate to say this but we still use the clothesline that is in the garden

3:21 pm

jaxx7

Hi, soodle,ru and molly

3:21 pm

rururocks

hi soodle xxxxxxx

3:21 pm

rururocks

hi jaxxxxxxxxxx

3:22 pm

Soodle

Oh I love clothes which were dried on the clothes line. They are so much fresher. (God above! When did I start start sounding like a feckin' housewife)

3:23 pm

jaxx7

Since electricity has got so expensive in the UK, we use the line instead of the Tumble dryer to save money. I must admit that this hasn't been possible yet this year.

3:24 pm

jaxx7

It's OK until this year's brood of baby birds arrive all at once. Then it gets messy

3:26 pm

rururocks

I do laundry like everyone else.. I don't know what the big deal is.. you put the clothes in .. you add soap and you press a button.. big deal

3:26 pm

rururocks

mrs. ru would complain about laundry incessantly. I offered to take over..but NOOOOOOOOO

3:28 pm

jaxx7

I have just watched 'Dirty Dancing' with my 17yr old grand-daughter. It brought back my youth but what I wasn't expecting was my 'thinks she's grown up' young lady to get up before the end as she dislikes the soppy bits. She went all coy when asked how does she cope with soppy bits with her 22 year-old boyfriend! She made a quick getaway at this point.

3:29 pm

MollyL

I love "Soodlebrow" : D You can't "use the line" here in these United States. Most places have home owners regulations that prohibit clothes lines. They are said to look tacky.

3:29 pm

jaxx7

Naughty grandma! lol

3:29 pm

rururocks

17 and 22.. not a good combo

3:30 pm

rururocks

those are the same home owners regulations that allow those cheesey concrete squirrels and rabbits

3:30 pm

MollyL

Yes they are. Sad but true.

3:31 pm

rururocks

you have pink flamingos in yards in the area molly :D

3:31 pm

jaxx7

he says he wants to woo her! They have been together for over 6 months and he still says things like he likes to sit and watch her talk - aah. I have checked up on him as in a small town every knows everyone else. My best friend knows the family and says he can be trusted. But - he is a man

3:31 pm

rururocks

He can be trusted AFTER she's 18 :D

3:32 pm

MollyL

Seriously, 17 and 22 bodes of not nice things.

3:32 pm

jaxx7

It is 16 here so it is legal.

3:33 pm

rururocks

where's that Arkansas Jaxx?

3:33 pm

jaxx7

UK

3:33 pm

MollyL

Remember Ru, in that part of the world, they marry their cousins.

3:33 pm

rururocks

really.. wow

3:34 pm

jaxx7

molly, I know, don't think I don't have misgivings

3:34 pm

rururocks

is that where the big ears come from?

3:34 pm

jaxx7

Only first cousins.

3:35 pm

jaxx7

That's gnomes, ru

3:35 pm

rururocks

uh huh

3:36 pm

rururocks

well.. hate to be a party pooper.. but I gotta go beat the laundry :D

3:36 pm

rururocks

Bye Molly xxxxxxx

3:38 pm

jaxx7

In and around this wonderful town of ours there are young women willing to sleep with anything in or out of trousers. They swap partners and then they move on to the next man. The result is that often the children don't know they are related. The problems will come later!

3:38 pm

jaxx7

Bye, ru. happy laundering

3:39 pm

jaxx7

soodle, did you cope Ok last night?

3:53 pm

Soodle

I did, Jazz, thanks. Even keel restored. (I think)

3:56 pm

MollyL

*Puts delicate sparkly blankets around Soodle*

3:57 pm

forwardbyfaith

Hi all! Clue for the pl7 please?

4:23 pm

Trifioso

hello forward - I'm not ignoring you, I just have no idea

4:25 pm

torgone

4:26 pm

MollyL

Here we go again : D

4:27 pm

forwardbyfaith

Ty torgone! Got it

4:27 pm

torgone

:P

4:28 pm

MollyL

I'm amazed. The percentage of people who know that word means guitar pick is minimal.

4:29 pm

forwardbyfaith

I googled it Molly. :) never would have gotten it!

4:30 pm

MollyL

Okay, that makes sense. The percentage of people who actually do a Google search on a clue they don't understand here is just as minimal. Generally the response is. HUH?

4:32 pm

torgone

I try to give clues that can be googled. If people can't be bothered to do that, too bad.

4:41 pm

MollyL

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

forwardbyfaith

6/7 is before the 5

5:24 pm

MollyL

ar6...the last three letters of a farm building + the second, third and fourth of a seven year locust

5:25 pm

forwardbyfaith

Ty Molly!

5:27 pm

forwardbyfaith

Last word! Anyone have a clue for the fe5?

5:30 pm

Bugsaw

Think of the character Hannibal Le**** and change the first letter to F

5:30 pm

scouser

fe5 often spelt with foe at start. a pong!

5:31 pm

scouser

starts like the fe6 .

5:32 pm

Bugsaw

oh right scouser, my clue has an extra C in it

5:32 pm

MollyL

Good clue Bugs. I didn't understand the next one.

5:32 pm

forwardbyfaith

Thx! Finally got it.

5:33 pm

Bugsaw

pong means a terrible stink to the English Molly

5:34 pm

MollyL

Thanks Bugs, I have little understanding of Brit speak.

5:34 pm

Bugsaw

now I know this word means that too but pong is much for fun to say

5:37 pm

scouser

I hadn't realised that pong only belongs this side of "the pond". sorry.

5:38 pm

Bugsaw

my first husband's father came from Leicester and it was a word I learned from his family, scouser. I loved the feel of it in my mouth
