Burt just fell while walking Ruffino. I was walking Raffie, but got back sooner. A neighbor brought him home and he was all bloody, having hit his face and one arm and hand. Fortunately, I'm pretty good at first aid and the housekeeper was here to bring me wet towels etc. He looks like he was in a fist fight
4:00 am
rubyfoo
He is very lucky that he didn't break his wrist or elbow!
4:01 am
rubyfoo
I stay calm while administering first aid, but ned a Xanax after.
4:01 am
grannyrose
absolutely, ruby. so now you are going to have the dying swan on your hands.
4:02 am
grannyrose
how did he fall?
4:03 am
candy1
Morning everyone. Just caught your chat ruby while I was lurking. Burt is very lucky. I fell 3 weeks ago, landed on my right side. Fractured my elbow and discovered 3 days later I had also fractured my collar bone
4:03 am
rubyfoo
Rue is very strong and pulls him and he is sonstantly pitting his will against the headstrong dog.
4:03 am
grannyrose
ouch, candy.
4:04 am
rubyfoo
wow, Candy, we are lucky indeed Burt is almost 89 and this kind of fall could be the beginning of the end, if he breaks something
4:04 am
grannyrose
so are burt's dog-walking days over?
4:04 am
candy1
Very painful. But starting to feel some relief now
4:04 am
candy1
This is my third bad fall in 3
4:04 am
rubyfoo
Did you have to go to the hospital?
4:04 am
rubyfoo
Did you have to go to the hospital?
4:05 am
grannyrose
you poor darling. it will probably be at least another 3 weekfs before you are throught it all.
4:05 am
candy1
...less than 3 years. They are now going to investigate for epilepsy
4:05 am
rubyfoo
e dogs are becoming a problem. I can barely manage Raffie as she weighs about 75 lbs and is also headstrong. But when she pulls, I hold onto whatever is handy and brace myself. Burt isn't sensible to that necessity
4:06 am
grannyrose
oh, is that a possibility, candy?
4:07 am
candy1
I think it is because there has been no reason for me falling, like tripping on something etc. I have literally fallen off my feet!!
4:07 am
grannyrose
ruby, what are your options? if the dogs are so strong how are you going to walk them?
4:07 am
rubyfoo
We were just talking about epilepsy yesterday as Annie's Bobby had a seizure at work. The problem with that malady is that, unless you're in the midst of any attack, nothing shows on the brain scan
4:07 am
grannyrose
candy, do you remember the falls? as they happen, i mean.
4:08 am
candy1
First time I broke my nose and had a nasty bump to my head. Second time was just bad cuts and bruises and now this.
4:08 am
rubyfoo
You are very young for that problem, Candy. Does epilepsy run in your family?
4:09 am
candy1
I don't remember much about first two. With this one, I can remember thinking as I was falling, "Don't hit your face" No family history of epilepsy
4:10 am
candy1
I am worried about diagnosis as I depend a lot on driving for my work. I would lose my licence if I was diagnosed with epilepsy.
4:11 am
rubyfoo
Burt hit his face on the ground as well as his whole hand and arm. Epilepsy runs in my family: aunt, father, me, but I've only had one grand mal (maybe, because I don't remember it and I was alone at the time, just got blood allover the walls of the powder room) and had 7 petit mal.
4:11 am
grannyrose
i hope you get some results soon, candy. it must be scary not knowing.
4:12 am
rubyfoo
My father only had one grand mal and was put on, I think, phenobarbital for the rest of his (long) life and continued to drive (!!)
4:13 am
candy1
I think not knowing is the hardest part. I would never forgive myself if I injured someone else as a result of my driving and blacking out at the wheel. My face was such a mess first time that strangers stopped me in the village to ask what had happened and that was after 4 weeks. I didn't leave the house when it was really bad!!!
4:14 am
rubyfoo
he was fine afterwards and only had occasional tiny petit mal after he was 90
4:14 am
candy1
Hopefully have results by end of month.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
Burt wants to go out to lunch but I'll tell the owner"You should see the other guy!", nor need to go into detail
4:15 am
grannyrose
that's quite a while, candy. are you on your own? do you have to work?
4:15 am
grannyrose
how do feel about going out, ruby? is burt shaken?
4:16 am
candy1
I live on my own, but always have company. My friends young daughter stays with me when her mum is on nightshift. I am self employed so I do need to work but thankfully I do work from home and can work my own hours
4:18 am
candy1
I must go get organised. Doctor appointment this morning. Ruby take care and look after Burt. bbl
4:18 am
grannyrose
i'm just concerned that you are on your own, dear. that's good that you can work from home. can you call people to help you for the next few weeks? i.e. like driving you to shops, etc.
4:19 am
candy1
Thank you granny. Just saw you in time! thanks for all the kind thoughts and concerns
4:20 am
grannyrose
maybe later, candy. hope you feel 100% soon.
4:20 am
sprite
good morning all

4:22 am
rubyfoo
ya, for Rosie and Don!
4:22 am
rubyfoo
I'll be here, that's for sure!
4:23 am
grannyrose
i've told don to write down all the things he wants to do/see. and i will do the same. oh, and my brother tells me there is an unclaimed castle in belgium which belongs to my grandfather.
4:23 am
sprite
oh woooot you can come live near us ;)
4:23 am
grannyrose
sprite, are you enjoying your aloneness?
4:24 am
grannyrose
*giggle* it will be our little holiday place...
4:24 am
sprite
so much, rose. It is paradise. No pressure at all.
4:24 am
rubyfoo
BIG HOLIDAY PLACE!
4:25 am
sprite
I will collect some addresses for bed and breakfasts here close by, rose, and send them to you.
4:25 am
grannyrose
i have been praying for you during this time. praying for re-vitalisation, peace, and contentment.
4:26 am
grannyrose
sprite, that would help so much.
4:26 am
sprite
as usual, your prayers work magic, rose. That is exactly what I am finding.
4:26 am
rubyfoo
see you ater, ids, have to check on poor old Burt
4:26 am
grannyrose
yay man upstairs...
4:26 am
sprite
give him my love, ruby, and *hugs* for you
4:26 am
grannyrose
later, dear ruby. xoxox
4:28 am
grannyrose
hey sprite! we have just realised we will be over there when the motoGP is in barcelona. i am busting my foofoo valve to have don there. it would be such an experience to share with him.
4:29 am
sprite
oh wow. That would be awesome for you guys. Just make sure it doesn't shorten our time together!
4:30 am
grannyrose
honey, nothing is going to shorten our time together. it will be built in and around our sojourn in holland.
4:31 am
sprite
wonderful. Call me greedy and selfish, but I want to enjoy you fully :D
4:31 am
grannyrose
we are planning at least 4/5 days in holland. i think by that time, you will be delighted to see the back of us...
4:32 am
sprite
what? Whooo hold it. What happened to those 10 days you promised me earlier?
4:33 am
grannyrose
oh....i forgot....10 days it is, hmmmm, maybe 2 weeks? will have to start putting stuff down on paper.
4:34 am
sprite
good! Because I want to show you guys some good dutch stuff, but I don't want to rush you through the days. We need time to sit and chat and giggle too.
4:34 am
grannyrose
maybe the 3 of us, (you, me, and pugs) could go away for a few days and have some "us" time.
4:34 am
sprite
and I will cry when I have to see the back of you, I know that already
4:35 am
sprite
oh, that is also a great idea. Let me know what kind of place you'd like to stay then
4:36 am
grannyrose
so long as it is somewhere where we don't have to cook, wash dishes or clean....
4:37 am
grannyrose
somewhere quiet with a good pub nearby....lolol
4:37 am
sprite
ok, lovely. I am sure I can find some good places then. Maybe on one of our islands. Or in one of our woods.
4:37 am
sprite
roflolollllll ok :D
4:37 am
grannyrose
nah, not true about the pub.
4:38 am
sprite
oh, one thing I thought I'd better tell you, rose... eating out in the netherlands is not cheap. Don't know how it is in Australia but I know that american people are sometimes a bit shocked.
4:38 am
sprite
I know, we don't need a pub. A couple of bottles will see us through just fine.
4:39 am
Trifioso
hello dear friends....oh, how I WISH I could be a fly on the wall and listen to you two giggle and carry on in Holland! JEALOUS
4:39 am
grannyrose
sprite, this is one time where i am not going to take ANY short cuts.
4:39 am
sprite
hi Triffles! Would love to have you with us. Rose is gonna bring puglet along, btw :) It will be the three of us, can you imagine?
4:40 am
Trifioso
how amazing!!!
4:40 am
grannyrose
trif, love. hello!! you will just have to be satisfied with giggling and carrying on in the US of A when i get there.
4:40 am
Trifioso
is that all part of the same trip granny? I'm rather out of this loop, I'm so sorry
4:40 am
sprite
ok rose :) Am thinking, maybe I can find a nice little hotel. Or, if the cleaning dishes isn't a hard condition, a cottage and we can order food.
4:41 am
grannyrose
now everyone...best prayers forward please. i am going to tell youngest son and his wife that they have to make up their minds about the investment house.
4:42 am
grannyrose
no trif. america will be in maybe 2-3 years time.
4:42 am
sprite
woooooot that is exciting, rose. Keeping fingers crossed. And prayers up to the Big Guy that this may enfold to the best possible outcome for all concerned.
4:42 am
Trifioso
good luck with your son, grannyrose
4:43 am
grannyrose
sprite, that is an option....i mean between the 3 of us, we should be able to wash some plates.
4:43 am
sprite
oh lovely, rose! We are gonna have so much fun. I am sure I can find the perfect place then.
4:44 am
grannyrose
too sad....we held a memorial service today for the victims of MH-17. an all faith service in the biggest cathedral in melbourne. the words spoken were so beautiful.
4:44 am
Trifioso
coming up with 9 f words is rather a challenge...usually just use the one :)
4:45 am
Trifioso
and buy paper plates, ladies
4:45 am
sprite
am glad you did, rose. Yes, so very sad.
4:45 am
grannyrose
roflol, trif...and it's not there either
4:45 am
sprite
*giggles* Trif!
4:46 am
sprite
if you get desperate looking for fe, try fl, grin
4:46 am
Trifioso
have 3 fls so far
4:46 am
sprite
in that case, if you get desperate looking for FL, try Fe
4:46 am
grannyrose
in that case you have all the fl's, trif
4:47 am
Trifioso
have 4 fes
4:47 am
grannyrose
ugh, why do i bother?? sprite says it for me...
4:47 am
sprite
the rest are FE, you have all the FL. Try a bit of french, a bit of medic speak.
4:48 am
Trifioso
its so cute, you two! You finish each others sentences ....what a blessing a friend like that is!
4:48 am
grannyrose
pfft, sprite. ;-P
4:48 am
Trifioso
the french was it! merci beaucoup!
4:48 am
sprite
rose and I are soul sisters, grin. We can speak with one mouth. But since we kiss different guys, we each have our own mouth anyway.
4:48 am
Trifioso
thanks for the visual, sprite....god help us all
4:48 am
grannyrose
trif, isn't it amazing? and we have never met face-to-face.
4:48 am
sprite
well done, Trif!
4:49 am
sprite
roflolollll I have such a way with words. Babble words, that is.
4:49 am
grannyrose
OMG!!! sprite, you are the mostut.
4:49 am
Trifioso
you are going to have to MAKE yourself sleep in Holland....I can tell. The impulse to sit up and talk all night will be strong
4:51 am
Trifioso
whooop - I have greyed the whole bottom row - FEAR ME
4:51 am
sprite
oh yes. A few hours every night is gonna be needed for our poor bodies. But our spirits will rejuvenate through the talk... and giggles.
4:51 am
grannyrose
we will probaly get pugs to hit us with the frying pan...lol
4:51 am
sprite
woooooot Trif has killer skills!
4:52 am
sprite
scary prospect, rose. Pugs is much stronger than she looks!
4:55 am
sprite
btw... was making a recipe for lovely indonesian rendang... it takes lemongrass... the recipe literally says to: "flatten the lemongrass by hitting on it with a frying pan". Weirdness!
4:56 am
Trifioso
and did you?
4:56 am
grannyrose
lolol....the mind pictures are killing me. and just who were you actually hitting with the frying pan?
4:57 am
sprite
um no. I just used the back of a big knife. Didn't trust myself with the frying pan, grin.
4:59 am
sprite
you have to flatten it until it becomes soft and then you need to tie it into a knot. Pretty odd, grin.
5:02 am
grannyrose
i'm guessing it's to release the oils so that the dish can absorb the flavour.
5:04 am
sprite
yes it is. First time ever I used lemongrass in its natural form. Usually I use the powder form, but it does not taste the same.
5:07 am
sprite
new babble dictionary word: tentour - holiday trek in canvas dwellings
5:08 am
grannyrose
yeah, i know what you mean. i had a cup of tea made with loose tea-leaves the other day. it was earl grey tea. it was to die for.
5:09 am
grannyrose
lol, sprite, i love it...put it in the dictionary.
5:12 am
sprite
added :) Reading our defs never fails to bring a smile to my face
5:15 am
sprite
did we lose our Triffles in the hiccup?
5:16 am
grannyrose
she's off-line, sprite
5:16 am
sprite
sometimes the hiccup can hit us hard
5:17 am

Hello, rose! Woke up again and can't go back to sleep..it's 3:30 am here.
5:33 am
lbdawger
gm, everyone.
5:33 am
MimiCat
Hey, there, dawg!
5:34 am
lbdawger
hi, Mimi! up before the sun and don't have to go to work...what's up with that?
5:36 am
MimiCat
I'm in a weird cycle. Started waking up around 2 in the morning and beginning my work around 4 so by 7 at night I'm falling asleep...which makes me wake up early again...gotta break this cycle.
5:38 am
lbdawger
my body rhythms just go wonky so up at all hours, usually early morning which is nice and quiet, and cooler temps. It must be sweltering in AZ.
5:39 am
MimiCat
Oh, yes..awful here. And since it's our monsoon season it has been humid as well, even though it has mostly been a NONsoon so far.
5:41 am
lbdawger
wish it would ra4/4 here too. it feels like the desert up here. ugh, I'm not a desert rat.
5:42 am
MimiCat
We all need rain here in the West...even California. This drought has been awful, even lowering the Colorado River for the first time in history.
5:43 am
lbdawger
I saw film footage of Lake Mead...OMG, that was depressing and scary. down 130 feet!
5:45 am
MimiCat
It's like there's an imaginary line running north and south and separating sides of the country...drought in the West and way too much rain in the East.
5:50 am
MimiCat
Well...guess I'll get started on my work for today. Going to try to force myself to stay awake until at least 10 tonight so maybe I can sleep through to 5...have a good one.
5:50 am

MollyL
In your address bar, where it now says www.playbabble.com
6:01 am
lbdawger
type it into the address bar, annie
6:01 am
MollyL
It will then pop up a zip file at the bottom of your screen that you have to click on to download
6:01 am
Anniebrook
where is the address bar, can I do that in google chrome?
6:01 am
Marc Freeman
Could I get a clue for en7, please?

6:03 am
lbdawger
annie, hit alt key, that should drop down your address bar.
6:04 am
MollyL
Annie, if you are on the Babble main screen, it has to say www.playbabble.com
6:06 am
MollyL
Are you guys on Macs? When I hit my ALT key nothing happens.
6:06 am
Anniebrook
Im lost. I went to aol and typed in the link and it came up 404 error.
6:06 am
Anniebrook
I will go to aol again and see what happens.
6:07 am
MollyL
You normally just copy a link and paste it in your address bar.
6:07 am

6:15 am

6:16 am
Anniebrook
sukee, I was always on BE, this I lost the clues
6:16 am
crosshair
sukee, check the question mark key it may be jammed down by something
6:16 am
Anniebrook
Molly, how do I get the clues back so I can see them as I do Babble?
6:16 am
crosshair
I once had a toast crumb as a culprit
6:16 am
sukee
So this is the only webpage you ever visit? You have to get Expert to do that as far as I know.
6:17 am
Anniebrook
I keep getting error routing
6:17 am
MollyL
Annie, your best bet is to email LIckety and ask him to send you a link you can just click on.
6:17 am
sukee
That is what I did, emailed him and he sent it.
6:18 am
Anniebrook
I have the babble grid in front of me...I just cant accss the clues next to the grid. I guess I will email Lickety. Thanks for trying to help me.
6:18 am
MollyL
r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip works for me. It doesn't take you to a page. It pops up a download link at the bottom of your screen.
6:19 am

Where do I put the 446.me link?
6:19 am
Anniebrook

In the address bar that is usually at the top of your browser, next to the home key
6:19 am
MollyL
Annie, what does it say at the top of your screen before .com?
6:21 am
Anniebrook
It says :Start then BabbleExpert then a long blue line then search web and then a bunch of icons
6:21 am
sukee
You don't have the browser open then.
6:21 am
sukee
You have Babble Expert open.

6:24 am

you are not dumb annie. you just need someone to sit down with you for an hour and walk you through the basics. You should have seem me on my first day with a computer:)
6:25 am
sukee
Yes no one thinks you are dumb.
6:26 am
sukee
Well, this grid is challenging

6:38 am
Anniebrook
I wrote to Lickety. Wow this is weird. Molly, could I have a virus on the computer?
6:40 am
MollyL
Not sure Annie. Not sure why you suddenly lost part of expert. Do you have virus protection? If so, maybe run a scan.
6:40 am
Anniebrook
I dont have virus protection. I dont play bills on the puter, I play games and email. Look up stuff and that's to.
6:41 am
MollyL
You can still get a virus, even if not paying bills.
6:41 am
Anniebrook
maybe I do. What a virus do this?
6:42 am
MollyL
Malware, a virus, either can mess up your computer. That is why it's really important to protect yourself.
6:42 am
crosshair
:( you really need someone to sit with you for a bit and show you the various things that your computer can do
6:43 am
MollyL
Copy and paste would be your first lesson. It is a lot easier than typing urls into an address bar.

Right Click on what you want to copy. You will get a menu for copy. Then do the opposite when you want to paste
6:48 am

She was. I just wanted an update if she was around. But I sure she is busy enough.

No scandal, really. Soodle seems obsessed with Peri and her toenail painting.
2:35 pm
periwinkle
scandal is a kind of a pink, almost a bubblegum color but I like it. it is a happy color
2:36 pm
hego
photos, we need photos!
2:36 pm
MollyL
I would have thought Scandal was a deep, kind of saucy red.
2:37 pm

I know, I will take pictures sometime soon and also of my new shoes. wish I had an iphone. it is so much easier to post photos with them
2:37 pm
hego
really simple
2:37 pm
MollyL
You can't post photos here anymore. The Flicker link is dead.
2:37 pm
periwinkle
I would post on FB
2:37 pm
MollyL
But I guess you are talking about Facebook.
2:37 pm
Uneaixoise
could post as icon
2:38 pm

I think she means FB
2:38 pm

what if the icon is a photo?

Or as an icon
2:38 pm
Uneaixoise
all my icons are photos . . .

2:43 pm

2:44 pm
MollyL
It's kind of a moot point now that photos are being shared on Facebook.
2:44 pm
Riverdance
My daughter is a huge flicker user......but that is because she is a photographer. I just never really cared enough or have enough pictures to work it!
2:45 pm

I use Picasa
2:45 pm

so true Molly.....but FB owns your photos once posted

Funny part is was a picture of herself that she took with her face in war paint. It is the cover of a book called Savage written in French. I bought the book and had it shadowbox framed for her. It was really cool. Had to buy it through Amazon UK as not available in US.

mmm, not a lot exactly, it's not a huge county, but much of it is rural so lots of roads
10:05 pm
uusue2
also lots of bridges, maybe 450? For a county with a population of about 100,000 that's a lot of bridges.
