2:26 am

2:27 am

sprite

apart from the painful body, all is well, pugs :)

2:28 am

puglet

I told earlier, I slept 7 hours straight last night! Cant remember how long I have done that

2:28 am

sprite

oh wow, that is wonderful, pugs. Well done! Last time was when W was away ;)

2:28 am

Lizlin

That's fantastic, pugs.

2:28 am

puglet

so you didnt get to rest yesterday as you had planned

2:29 am

puglet

thanks

2:30 am

sprite

not as much as I had planned, but still quite a bit. The children got the groceries for me. And I cooked another dinner they were all very positive about, so that is good. Small triumphs, lol.

2:30 am

sprite

did I chase off rose?

2:30 am

Lizlin

Stuff to do, so I've got to go. Glad to have caught my good friends. Hugs to you all :)

2:30 am

puglet

Iam going to the horseshow today and I might take Carols little girl with me to give her some me time

2:31 am

puglet

no she ran out on us while ago

2:31 am

puglet

bye Liz have fun

2:31 am

sprite

ok Liz :) *hugs* and all the best.

2:31 am

sprite

oh, nice idea, pugs! I love it that you are going back to horse stuff.

2:32 am

puglet

Me too, they have always been a part of me most of my life

2:33 am

sprite

yeah and a good part too. I think it is a brilliant decision.

2:33 am

puglet

what are you doing today

2:34 am

sprite

not much. Laundry (surprise surprise), and a visit to the pet store for food for Terra. That is all, folks. Resting and popping magnesium pills, grin.

2:35 am

puglet

are you taking Terra with you

2:36 am

sprite

I might. Though it is easier without him. Will see.

2:36 am

sprite

will you be at the horses all day?

2:37 am

puglet

do they let you take your pets inside? Here where I get my dog food they let you take your dogs in and my dogs love going there

2:37 am

puglet

most of the day unless it gets too hot. I dont want to get the little girl too hot and sick by being out there

2:38 am

sprite

yes, they do, one of the few pet stores that do. They specialize in dog- and catfood and other stuff for cats and dogs. Great people and a very good store.

2:38 am

sprite

sounds good, pugs!

2:38 am

puglet

Iam hoping to run into old friends and passing the word Iam on the hunt of a horse for myself

2:39 am

sprite

awesome! Good idea, networking.

2:40 am

puglet

sometimes people with grown kids will let you care for one without actually buying and that would be find with me until I find what I want

2:41 am

sprite

that would be perfect for now. Good thinking.

2:42 am

puglet

yes, it would give me a chance to see if my body will let me ride again--lol I may have to go for driving instead-lol

2:43 am

sprite

I think you will be fine, as long as you are wise about how you start it up. Small steps at a time, don't go for hours on end at first.

2:43 am

puglet

yeah, I think my 6-8 hours in a saddle are over

2:43 am

sprite

phantom: automobile

2:44 am

puglet

good one

2:44 am

puglet

mine was bench

2:44 am

sprite

maybe not, pugs. But I think it depends on if you overdo it at first or not. If you can manage to build it up one small step at a time, you might be surprised at how much your body will be able to do.

2:45 am

puglet

I am more worried about what it will do to my hernia

2:45 am

sprite

also a good one

2:46 am

sprite

you are going to have to get that hernia taken care of at some point, honey

2:46 am

puglet

I cant take the buching and rough stuff for sure

2:46 am

puglet

I meant bucking

2:47 am

sprite

no, that is for youngsters, lol.

2:47 am

puglet

I been wearing the band as Rose said and its helping

2:47 am

sprite

ah that is great.

2:48 am

puglet

I will have to find a mount thats got one foot in the grave-lol

2:50 am

sprite

nah, you will be fine on most mounts, lol. Just give it time and patience.

2:51 am

sprite

I should say: give yourself time and patience, lolol

2:52 am

puglet

My sugar was up a little yesterday and I think its due to the heat and not doing my walking due to the heat--so I went to the store yesterday and done some walking inside where it was cool

2:53 am

sprite

oh that is smart thinking!

2:53 am

grannyrose

~~~good ~~~ morning~~~~ to ~~~sprite. tra-la-la. hugs abd kisses dearest.

2:53 am

puglet

3:12 am

sprite

3:13 am

puglet

I would figure that by now she would be getting use to it--its been about a month

3:13 am

grannyrose

3:13 am

Kallia

very strange feelings (well not real ones) in my dead arm....thought by hand was on my chest but the nurse was holding it for all the 35 mins it took

3:23 am

lolol, that's because your brain remembers the last thing it felt, which was probably your hand on your chest.

3:24 am

that's interesting rose, makes sense too:)

3:25 am

grannyrose

we have patients come into recovery. their surgery involves stirrups, with their legs and feet up in the air. then the spinal anaesthetic takes over. they really think their legs are up in the air, even when they can see that their legs are flat on the bed.

3:25 am

that is funny, in a way

hi lizmac!

3:33 am

I'm really struggling with this grid.

3:34 am

Kallia

not actually in Scotland Liz...my birth place. I am in Hampshire,

3:34 am

Kallia

i'm married to a mac :)

3:34 am

sprite

yeah it is a tough one. Lots of uncommon words and not many series.

3:35 am

lizmac

oh, well where in Scotland were you born then?

3:36 am

Kallia

I was born in Dumfries, brought up on Isle of Lewis, until I was 5

3:36 am

Kallia

you born in Scotland?

3:36 am

fireflies. Any clues needed before I go?

3:37 am

Kallia

you amaze me Sprite...you always manage to finish real quick!

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:37 am

almost 10 years of practice, Kallia, lol.

3:37 am

Kallia

congrats :)

3:37 am

Kallia

well me to...had long breaks though

3:38 am

sprite

even most weird words are common to me now. I spotted 'yttria' right away earlier this week, that is saying something.

3:38 am

lizmac

I'm in Stranraer, so nearby your birthplace. Shame you won't get to vote in the referendum despite being born here.

3:39 am

sprite

ok, if nobody needs clues, I had better go do some stuff here. *hugs* to you all, and may you have a blessed day and a peaceful night.

3:39 am

Kallia

how do you think that will go Liz?

3:39 am

Kallia

bye Sprite have a great day x

3:40 am

enjoy your day, sprite. xoxox

3:41 am

lizmac

I'm disliking this grid intensely...it's stooopid, and I don't have time for wanton stupiduty, so I'm not doing it any more. If that sounds petulant it's because it is !!

3:42 am

Kallia

lol Liz

3:44 am

lizmac

Not sure how Referendum will go. My ex is strongly SNP and reckons it'll be at least a very close call. Talking to others, the opinion is very divided...and then there are those who would like to try independence but are afraid, so will put off decision until the day itself or just err on the safe side.

3:46 am

Kallia

I personally don't think there is enough real information as to the effects. It's all political bumpf

3:48 am

We live in interesting times (but not TOO interesting please) I'm off for my porridge ...okay cornflakes really. Byee.

hi crossy - never had any luck with the Rubic cube - my son can do one with nine squares on each side!

5:08 am

5:08 am

have the book, thanx crossy. btw, some where in google land, there are pictures made entirely from rubik's cubes. they were fascinating.

5:09 am

crosshair

yes, i saw the one of the Mona Lisa made entirely of cubes

5:10 am

grannyrose

GR's easy rubik cube solve...pull all the squares off the centre bit and put them back in the correct position...lololol

5:10 am

crosshair

personally, I just peeled off the stickers and put them where they need to be in the cube. never saw what all the noise was about. Thought it a waste of the $3.99 at the time:)))

5:11 am

grannyrose

*bow's to crossy's superior solve* lolol

5:22 am

o-o

I put mine in a branch shredder.

5:24 am

Exactly, Molly, I have to keep making it smaller and smaller that I find it hard to see..as I only have a 17" screen on this laptop.

best cancer test i ever had was at Princess Margerette's in Toronto. Was there for a regular 3 month check-up and the doc in charge of me noticed a lump under my left nipple and some irregular mole. Must of been a slow day because he picked up the phone and the specialist buddy of his came in eating a sandwich and said want a biopsy and results now? I jumped at it. He took a sample right then and there and walked it down to the lab himself and was back in 15 minutes with a clean bill on that one. then not 3 miniutes later the skin specialist walks on through , leans in and takes a look at my belly, circles 4 moles with his pen and says "next week just get your resident surgeon at home to remove those. i will call him if you like and set it up" Was crazy. Everything was done in less than an hour.

Hello babbleworld!

2:32 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi Jilly

2:33 pm

Jillyjill

Has anyone heard from Bichon on her biopsy? Been thinking a lot about her

2:33 pm

MollyL

No results, they were slackers at the lab. She won't hear until Monday.

2:34 pm

Jillyjill

Lousy!

2:34 pm

MollyL

Or radiology or wherever biopsies go.

2:34 pm

Jillyjill

Pathology is part of Lab

2:35 pm

MollyL

Well, Bich is in the grid today, so I will take that as a good omen.

2:35 pm

MLFAN17

2:44 pm

Jillyjill

It shouldn't

2:47 pm

MLFAN17

is the le 6 an extension of a le 4?

2:49 pm

MollyL

I think it is cruel to make someone wait over the weekend for those kind of test results.

2:49 pm

wvteach

yes, extend LE 4/4

2:50 pm

crosshair

A seperate cancer biopsy lab would be nice instead of tossing them into a lab that handles all the other things a hospital needs tested

2:50 pm

Jillyjill

Here it's tough...pathology done in Missoula...but that is why we schedule biopsies earlier in week.

2:50 pm

MLFAN17

got it ty wv

2:53 pm

MLFAN17

le 4/5?

2:53 pm

MLFAN17

never mind

2:54 pm

crosshair

though we should be grateful that our tests are done in-house at the bigger cancer centres and not shipped out as jilly says:(

2:56 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, pathology is a whole different section of lab, just focused on indentifying strictly biopsise

2:56 pm

crosshair

ahh. got ya. I may moan sometimes, but i am grateful to all those who do such great work in the cancer field.

2:57 pm

Jillyjill

On the other hand here, once a breast cancer is identified, the patient is arranged to go to Missoula for nodal testing etc, then comes here same day for surgery and it is known how extensive the surgery needs to be

hi there... i keep inputting the word that goes with bo7 but it won't register. Any reason why not??

5:31 pm

Anniebrook

the count is off between Lickety's List and the babble list..the bo7 is probably the odd word

5:31 pm

shooshoo

thanks

5:34 pm

Anniebrook

bo 7 is in Lickety's list but not on the babble list

5:34 pm

MollyL

If you use Lickety's list, always check the count there vs. the count in the grid. If it's one off, there is an extra word that Lickety's list recognizes that the grid does not.

5:38 pm

sukee

Anyone have a clue for fe 6/33?

ty for the en clues. They were not obvious to me today. Lovely blue skies and light breeze on this solstice here in the great Northwest.

7:37 pm

jesdraggon

hi stidg

7:38 pm

stidgmere

Hi jesdraggon. Are you have a pleasant day?

7:38 pm

jesdraggon

mostly. a little bit headachy, but i took a nap which is a rare luxury

7:38 pm

dcseain

Hi, jes and stidgmere

7:38 pm

jesdraggon

introduced the 'coon bebbies to eggs today, they seem enthusiastic about that.

7:38 pm

dcseain

jes, went for a rigorous 10mile hike today. T'was fun. Eating now. Got home, bathed, and was ravenous.

7:39 pm

stidgmere

Naps are a very helpful remedy!

7:39 pm

jesdraggon

sounds exhausting, dc! (i'm a lazy wretch, distances like that are why I have a horse!)

7:39 pm

stidgmere

Ten miles that gets to be tedious Happy to be home after that.

7:40 pm

dcseain

this hike was VERY not horse-friendly. WAY too many rocky bits to climb through and over.

7:40 pm

dcseain

The last three miles are the hardest.

7:41 pm

stidgmere

Were you in the mountains for your hike?

7:42 pm

stidgmere

We walked along some of the Appalachian trail in Maine when the kids were little and some of it in Virginia. We were much younger then and it makes for wonderful memories now.

7:44 pm

dcseain

No, stidgmere. This was The Potomac Heritage Trail, the portion from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to Roosevelt Island. The most rigorous 10 miles inside the beltway. Three lovely waterfalls along the way at Gulf Branch, Spout Run, and a rock formation downstream from Spout Run.

7:45 pm

Anniebrook

hi seain, did you hike to raise money for a charity?

7:45 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Did not know about the Potomac trail. There are so many hidden treasures in our country. If you took pictures you can use them as screen savers in the winter and be delighted all over again.

7:45 pm

dcseain

In the nearby Blue Ridge, i sometimes go to Sky Meadows state park, and hit the Appalacian Trail South to the Butt's Shelter, or North to Snicker's Gap.

7:46 pm

dcseain

indeed, stidgmere! Friend and i both got some photos.

7:46 pm

stidgmere

We saw bears one time in Virginia. The river was so noisy, I could not alert my husband to the bear on the other side of the river.

7:48 pm

dcseain

Sometimes it's like that.

7:48 pm

dcseain

we saw a young buck and doe at one point near Crest Ln. The doe showed signs of having been fed by people, but we had no deer-appropriate food with us.

7:49 pm

stidgmere

Today we saw a mother merganser and her eight little fluffy ducks resting and getting a buffet lunch from the bottom of the little float in front of our house. We have had several generations of mergansers use that as a staging place for bringi
ng up babies.

7:49 pm

MollyL

I'm curious, what are "signs of having been fed by people"?

7:50 pm

stidgmere

Spreading out a picnic cloth on the ground and tying napkins around necks.

7:50 pm

stidgmere

Being silly, Molly.

7:51 pm

dcseain

Approaching us, head outstretched, opening and closing her mouth like a hungry horse.

7:52 pm

jesdraggon

cuddling, following, head butting, chewing on clothing

7:52 pm

dcseain

very nice, stidgmere :)

7:53 pm

dcseain

We saw a blue heron, and a crane, and heard an Eastern Brown Hawk today.

7:53 pm

MollyL

I'll take answer Number One, Monty. Very funny Gran Mere.

7:53 pm

stidgmere

I know the Eastern part of our great states is more formal than the West. Out West they would just belly up to the bar and put a foot on the railing, elbows on the bar.

7:53 pm

jesdraggon

herons are so neat. and so bloody terrifying to handle.

7:54 pm

MollyL

I imagine they are Jes, they are all angles.

7:54 pm

dcseain

7:54 pm

dcseain

7:54 pm

jesdraggon

don't forget the homonym, dc

7:55 pm

MollyL

I feel really fortunate that I see all of that kind of wildlife right in my own back yard. The advantage of living close to a State Park. The critters like to roam.

7:55 pm

MollyL

Where there is the wager, so there is the volcano.

7:56 pm

MollyL

Where there is the halt word, there is also the kitchen utensils.

7:56 pm

MollyL

Where there is gratuities, there is also saliva. So it is written. : D

7:57 pm

stidgmere

We are still learning the birds that come by. We are seeing canvasback ducks here for the first time this past winter. So even staying home there is change.

7:59 pm

MollyL

I saw a red-winged blackbird today. Very pretty coloring.

9:17 pm

11:55 pm

stidmama

We are home now, too. And the school year ended so I am looking for a job for next year, but not worried. I know I have great references from this year, so I believe I will get something excellent for next year.

11:55 pm

hootowl

Well we've been having temps from 80-94!

11:56 pm

hootowl

TOO early!

11:56 pm

stidmama

oh, that is much too warm for this time of year -- sorry...

11:57 pm

hootowl

That's a good thing. Good teachers are a rare commodity lately

11:57 pm

hootowl

Well 2 summers ago we average 99 for about 2 months. But it's not getting hotter!

11:58 pm

hootowl

I'd like to slug some of these dorks that claim the temps haven't changed where THEY are!

11:59 pm

hootowl

Usually somewhere on a mountain up north!

11:59 pm

hootowl

THIS is Tennessee!

11:59 pm

stidmama

I hope it moderates for you. My great aunt in California and other relatives down there are experiencing drought conditions like never before (and she is in her 90s). It's not good.
