How've you been, Worz?

12:31 am

worzel

Not so bad thanks. Suffering a bit with a pain in my back which I'm pretty sure is going to be another burst of pleurisy so that's something to look forward to. How bout you?

12:31 am

Lizlin

All's good here thanks. Look after yourself!

12:32 am

worzel

I will -I'm probably just being over-dramatic anyway lol

back pain isn't overdrama (in my humble opinion) :( it stinks

12:33 am

ARB

Dee, I agree.

12:33 am

Lizlin

I'm sure it does! Have you had another pain free day?

12:33 am

VolleymomDee

on prednisone now for a lower back issue... dreading that the dose is decreasing :(

12:34 am

worzel

right time for some caffine *semi-poof*

12:34 am

Lizlin

Do you decrease under doc's advice?

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

had bearable pain today; got to go to neighborhood picnic, which turned out lovely, with no rain ... yes, this is a decreasing dose regimen... 4 tabs one time a day for 4 days, then 3, 2, 1

12:35 am

rururocks

can we take steroids and play babble?

12:36 am

Lizlin

So if it becomes unbearable, you tell the doc!

12:36 am

flosey

I'm off to bed, goodnight all, 1:35 a.m.

12:36 am

Sleep well, Flosey :)

night flosey

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

when I take prednisone, I can do anything, especially on high dose days... really don't want to stop... will see what doc decides to do next on the 11th at my next appointment.

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

Nite, flosey!

12:36 am

ChrissieDee

Sleep well flosey

12:37 am

flosey

thanks Liz and ru and Chrissie, be back tomorrow but no idea when

Definitely, Liz. This time was bad enough, I have been journalling what is going on, so I don't forget.

Sounds like a sensible thing to do, Dee. There

Lizlin

There's no reason to suffer unnecessarily.

12:38 am

ChrissieDee

Also off to get ready for work, hagd all

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

I am trying to avoid surgery, so I am behaving, but I want to be aggressive in treatment. I didn't realize just how high / tough the pain was until I started the prednisone. Now I realize just how bad it has been.

12:38 am

Lizlin

Have a good day, Chrissie

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

bye, chrissie

12:39 am

Lizlin

I hope you can manage on the pain killers and avoid surgery.

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

tx, liz, me, too. My back is crap... afraid once they start, I would be in deep do do. I haven't been on any heavy duty pain meds, just steroid and a muscle relaxant for a couple of days at the beginning. I think a disc or two have bulged and are pinching a nerve.

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

Aging stinks some times... feel like an old jalopy that has too many things that need fixing LOL...

12:42 am

Lizlin

Ouch! Hugs and sympathy.

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

ty vm... enough about me, how was your day?

12:43 am

Lizlin

Good - whale watching this morning. Nothing spectacular - sad thing is that we see whales so often, that when they just swim along, we forget how magic this is for people that only ever see them once!

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

Oh, that would be magic. That is one spectacle I have always wanted to see, but I am sure for you it becomes a bit routine :)

12:45 am

Lizlin

No, not routine! It's always wonderful seeing them but we always hope for a breach or two or for them to come right up to the catamaran and "mug" us as they sometimes do. I do love seeing them and can't imagine them becoming routine.

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

Really amazing, Liz, and great that you really do appreciate them. Do you whale watch often?

12:48 am

Lizlin

We try to go every week (June to mid-October) unless we're away or the sea's too rough. I'm not a good sailor. They invented a season ticket for us!

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

So wonderful!!

12:49 am

Lizlin

Apparently, Migaloo, the only albino humpback is due to pass the coast sometime in the next few days - we saw him once in 2009. It would be amazing to see him again.

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

I would think it would be rare to see him twice!! I cannot believe you saw him in '09.

12:50 am

Lizlin

We were so lucky and I was so sick! I had a sick bag in one hand and my camera in the other!

12:50 am

Lizlin

He's fantastic and when he's under the water, it appears a bright aqua colour.

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

Yipes. I am not a good sailor, either, not sure I could manage it.

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

Interesting... aqua... did you get any photos?

12:51 am

Lizlin

I take kwells every time! Yes they were in my profile but the link's not there any more!

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

Truly wonderful, Liz!

12:52 am

Lizlin

But you can google him to see him.

12:53 am

rururocks

So it was a fluke you saw him?

12:53 am

Lizlin

Nah! I'm spinning you a tale.

12:54 am

Lizlin

This year, he went through in June - there are concerns about his skin :(

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

Why is that?

12:55 am

Lizlin

I guess the white skin is prone to melanoma.

12:55 am

Lizlin

They saw patches on the skin.

12:55 am

ursh

Hi all - we also live near the coast and often see whales. There used to be a whaling station in Durban. Closed in the sixties. I love that since control on whaling has been strict that people all over the world now see whales regularly. Lets face it in the seventies it was so rare to see them close to land.

12:56 am

rururocks

Are the other whales blubbering about it?

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

LOL ru

12:56 am

Lizlin

Hi Ursh. Yes the last whaling station here closed in the 60s. They say the Southern humpback population is increasing by 10% each year - about 18000 now.

12:56 am

rururocks

Japan does not honorcwhaling laws

12:57 am

Lizlin

LOL, Ru! I can't compete in the puns!

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

too true, ursh. We did at least make those corrections (for a change) :)

12:57 am

Lizlin

True, Ru. In the commentary, on the boat, they have alluded to this when there

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

I think Japan has gotten a lot of worldwide bad press over that, too, ru... have seen several documentaries this summer about them being taken to task.

12:57 am

Lizlin

been Japanese tourists on board!

12:57 am

rururocks

A lot of people woul krill to see them eat

12:57 am

Lizlin

lol!

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

lol

12:58 am

Lizlin

We saw them eating in Alaska last year! it was on our bucket list!

12:58 am

saanichcat

oh ru, good one

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

I am really slowing down with waaaay too many left ... hmmm

12:59 am

Lizlin

Hoping to see whales in NZ next year.

12:59 am

rururocks

Humpbacks are beautiful creatures

12:59 am

ursh

Japan also herd and slaughter dolphins because they also eat tuna :((

12:59 am

rururocks

Me too liz

1:00 am

Lizlin

Perhaps at the same time?

1:00 am

rururocks

If we're lucky. I am going to be there for 2 weeks

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

in Japan or NZ?

1:01 am

rururocks

NZ

1:01 am

Lizlin

Hope you make it. We've booked for 3 weeks - self drive b & b. But a great company to book through. NZ, Dee.

1:02 am

Lizlin

If you haven't booked, I'd recommend looking at relaxingjourneys.nz.co I think.

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

What a trip, ru, sure hope you can work out the details.

1:03 am

Lizlin

oops - got the co and nz the wrong way round!

1:03 am

rururocks

Number one on my list dee

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

ve 7

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

hubby always wanted to make that trip... but never worked out. Now it would be way too long a trip for me.

1:05 am

Lizlin

That's sad Dee. I always wanted to go to NZ - much more than Aus - and look where I ended up!

1:05 am

Lizlin

No regrets, though.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

lol... never know what will happen... no regrets, here, either. We have done so many other amazing things :)

1:07 am

rururocks

I am going to stop at the solomon islands first to break up the trip

1:07 am

Lizlin

That sounds exotic!

1:08 am

Lizlin

I want to visit so many of the Pacific islands!

1:08 am

rururocks

I am considering emigrating there someday

1:08 am

Lizlin

NZ or the Solomon Islands?

1:09 am

rururocks

New Zealand that is

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

Are you really? How interesting?

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

! not ?

1:09 am

Lizlin

If it's anywhere near as nice as I've been told, that's a wonderful place to live.

1:10 am

Lizlin

Are you planning to visit Aus when you visit NZ. Rose will not forgive you if you miss her!

1:10 am

rururocks

We will see. I suspect i wont want to come home

1:10 am

Lizlin

And I forgot the ?

1:10 am

Lizlin

That happened to me here!

1:11 am

rururocks

No aussie trip planned

1:11 am

Lizlin

Another time, perhaps.

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

That always happens to me when we go to the Outer Banks in North Carolina... Last trip I talked hubby (cajoled) into staying an extra week. It was heaven!

1:12 am

Lizlin

WTG Dee - good talking ;)

While I remember, Rose. Puglet sends a message to Sprite & your good self. "Everything is OK" And she is home tomorrow (I guess that would be today)as the message was from last night.

5:26 am

grannyrose

oh, thanx so much, zooz. i emailed her a short while ago.

5:27 am

Not too sure of the almost a moose part?

5:28 am

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Thank you very much, Rose!

5:28 am

Not seen that word in the grid before.

5:28 am

grannyrose

clever zooz

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Well not so clever as getting it on my own..lol

5:29 am

grannyrose

it is an obscure word, mate. a little help is good.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

Thanks to Westford and Rose, I am down to 11 more words to find!

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Hope everyone is well?

5:32 am

5:32 am

5:33 am

grannyrose

nice, zooz, mate

5:34 am

zoozzoom

It would of been my brothers birthday yesterday.So I bought some fake crocus type flowers to put around his resting place.Was not sure what to do or buy.So thought that was the right thing.Mother seemed very happy with my choice though.

5:35 am

grannyrose

what a lovely thought, zooz. and a very difficult time for you all. prayers and love coming your way, mate.

5:35 am

westford

that was lovely zooz

5:36 am

zoozzoom

We do have real flowers there too but They do not seem to last very long.This way they can last through out the winter too!

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Well autumn is here now.Not long before we get the golden brown leafs and colder nights.

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Which means summer is on its way to you, Rose!

5:39 am

jaxx7

You could do what we have done and plant bulbs around the stone. They last longer and weather better than cut flowers.

5:39 am

grannyrose

i hear you zooz. it is spring here. this year i planted out some tulip bulbs. they have actually sprouted...lol...i didn't kill them.

5:40 am

jaxx7

Well done, Rose. Are they the full size ones or the miniature?

Wolvie

ty rose- and good morning ruby :-)

7:32 am

grannyrose

awww ruby. {{hugs}} my dear.

7:32 am

rubyfoo

it is beautiful here, breezy and about 80F

7:32 am

rubyfoo

DIL des the big cutting; I do the weeding and edge-cutting

7:32 am

HarryHood

where are you ruby?

7:33 am

rubyfoo

It is interesting to see how the holly, one plat of which I panted the first year, now has babies all over the garden

7:33 am

rubyfoo

SE France, Harry, in the foothills of the Alps, above Lake Annecy

7:33 am

grannyrose

and himself, ruby?? what is he doing?

7:34 am

HarryHood

oh you're home

7:34 am

HarryHood

I thought you were elsewhere

7:34 am

rubyfoo

he went grumpily off to his nap. He is giving me a load of you-know-what over everything

7:35 am

rubyfoo

I can't travel any more as husband can't be left alone, even with the hou sekeeper coming in the mornings

7:35 am

grannyrose

lol...hand him a shovel and tell him to use his imagination.

7:35 am

HarryHood

himself sounds like that david james duncan book.

7:35 am

flosey

hi everyone, lol rose, if he's grumpy, I'd be afraid of how he might use that shovel

7:36 am

rubyfoo

I don't think men can weed gardens. Unless hs is unusually awful, I think most of them refuse to learn which are weeds and which are small perennials

7:36 am

Wolvie

morning flo :-)

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

hi ruby

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

and flosey

7:36 am

grannyrose

oh, flosey, my dear. what are you doing up at this time, hun.

7:36 am

rubyfoo

hahah flosey. And, maybe, Harry, you're a champion gardener, so I hope I didn't insult you by generalizing

7:37 am

rubyfoo

hello TO and Wolvie and everybody

7:37 am

rubyfoo

7:37 am

flosey

rose, it's 8:30 here in Ontario

7:37 am

grannyrose

ruby, my DH's idea of gardening is to level everything with the line-trimmer.

7:37 am

HarryHood

most things are the opposite with my wife and me - I try to keep her away from weeding, laundry, etc.

7:37 am

rubyfoo

that is very funny.

7:37 am

grannyrose

oh, good grief, flosey. i have been here almost around your clock.

7:38 am

HarryHood

OK! only one tile left to nbt :)

7:38 am

flosey

your day is our night?

7:38 am

grannyrose

harry, which one?

7:38 am

Wolvie

lol Harry- so what do you let your wife do?

7:38 am

rubyfoo

{{flosey}} I think I didn't say hello

7:38 am

HarryHood

woohoo! nbt and nbs :)

7:38 am

flosey

hi ruby, nice to hear from you

7:38 am

rubyfoo

maybe you shouldn't ask.....lol

7:38 am

grannyrose

flosey, it is 10:30pm monday here.

7:38 am

HarryHood

wolvie I let her go earn a paycheck :)

7:39 am

Wolvie

ahhh- smart man :-)

7:39 am

flosey

ah, we're at 8:30 am Tuesday morning

7:39 am

grannyrose

well done harry!!

7:39 am

HarryHood

we're all about liberation here in new england

7:39 am

rubyfoo

we're at 2"30PM Tuesday afternoon

7:40 am

rubyfoo

"Babble circles the globe"

7:40 am

flosey

the kids have gone to work, brother is coming over later for lunch

7:40 am

grannyrose

duh, make that tuesday night....si5 i was forcibly retired i have lost count of the days...lolol

7:41 am

flosey

lol rose, I know the feeling, I keep a calender nearby but almost went to visit my friend today for couple of nights - it's next week I go there !!!

7:42 am

flosey

both hubby and I are long retired

7:42 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet she would have been surprised

7:42 am

HarryHood

the kids start school tomorrow - so today they get checked for lice :)

7:42 am

grannyrose

so, flosey, that makes you 14 hours behind me, or me 14 hours ahead of you. take your pick...lolol

7:42 am

rubyfoo

eeew

7:42 am

Wolvie

lmao-- harry. u aretoo funny

7:43 am

HarryHood

seriously - there's a long line at school today with all kids getting checked

7:43 am

flosey

here too, Harry, but at home (BC) the teachers are still out on strike so there will be a lot of working moms having to pay for daycare

7:43 am

Wolvie

wow- i didnt think they had to do that anymore

7:44 am

rubyfoo

evidently lice have become a huge problem. I think with the changing climate a lot of insects that died down in the winter now flourish all year

7:44 am

HarryHood

wow - teachers on strike!

7:44 am

flosey

is this a physical check?

7:44 am

rubyfoo

fie on teachers' unions. When I was a teacher, I refused to join

7:44 am

flosey

yes, they went out mid June and seems to be a stalemate

7:44 am

HarryHood

also with summer camp and world travel the lice come in droves. we have, so far, thankfully, poo poo poo, avoided the problem

7:45 am

HarryHood

flosey - how else would they do it? a virtual lice check?

7:45 am

flosey

I don't think it is an option, ruby

7:45 am

rubyfoo

I assume poo poo poo is like spitting over your shoulder

7:45 am

Wolvie

had not considered that Harry. wow

7:45 am

HarryHood

yes :)

7:45 am

Wolvie

lol ruby

7:46 am

rubyfoo

There are countries in which if you complement someone on how beautiful the baby is, granny spsits over her shoulder (or maybe on the baby lol)

7:46 am

grannyrose

that was my job, many years ago...pediculosis nurse and immunisation nurse....

7:47 am

HarryHood

I had to look up pediculosis

7:47 am

HarryHood

both thankless tasks, grannyrose

7:48 am

flosey

I don't remember there ever being such a problem when I was in school - was never checked - but we were immunized at school by the PH nurses

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

don't even start the immunization issue.

7:48 am

grannyrose

we found many kids infested...some kids had " strings of pearls". i.e. just about every strand of hair had up to 30 nits on it...

7:48 am

HarryHood

some schools do scoliosis checks as well

7:49 am

rubyfoo

When I was a teacher, up 'til about 78, there were frequent outbreaks of head lice and pink eye and flu epidemics which would shut down the schools.

7:49 am

flosey

oh my gosh, rose, that's revolting

7:49 am

rubyfoo

but the union wasn't obligatory and I worked longer hours than were needed, just to get my job done

7:49 am

Wolvie

taking a break- have a great day all :-)

7:49 am

rubyfoo

bye wolvie

7:50 am

grannyrose

lol, flosey, not as revolting as having a child step up to you, and you can see live lice running up and down the plaits.

7:50 am

grannyrose

enjoy, wolvie. xoxox

7:50 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, doorbbell

7:50 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

7:50 am

HarryHood

at least the kids didn't need to bring snacks

7:51 am

Riverdance

ewwwwwwwwww - what a conversation and good morning everyone

7:51 am

MLFAN17

i never got the chance to finish or ty rto finish more of the grid yesterday

7:52 am

flosey

how would they do a scoliosis check without xrays?

7:52 am

grannyrose

and we had to respect the kids wearing turbans. those we sent home ASAP without checking. we requested the parents to check the hair themselves.

7:52 am

HarryHood

just check the straightness of the spine

7:52 am

mixi6

have the person bend over and eyeball the straightness of the spine.

7:52 am

grannyrose

scalp itchy, river? hello dearest...long time no see.

7:53 am

mixi6

That's how I was diagnosed 40 years ago. I finally had someone measure the angle (from X-rays)

7:53 am

flosey

that would have been helpful for me, found I had such much later in life, scoliosis that is!

7:54 am

Anniebrook

what can be done for scoliosis?

7:54 am

Riverdance

luckily my kids never got lice - was always worried about that when sending them to summer camp. My daughter has the thickest hair you could imagine. It would gave been a nightmare. The camps checked all kids the first day. If they had lice they were not allowed to stay.

7:55 am

HarryHood

100 words found. bbl hopefully. gotta go scratch my head.

Hi, Rose. the fishermen returned with a mullet which is destined to feed the cat. I have completed the House work so it is back to Babble.

9:00 am

grannyrose

my younger bro' is off to thailand again. i wish i could understand the fascination for the asian countries as a holiday destination.

9:01 am

MLFAN17

well right now is it safer then other areas granny?

9:01 am

Anniebrook

9:01 am

roflol, jaxx. lucky cat...

9:02 am

Aloyisius

9:02 am

grannyrose

mlf....that is an open question...

9:02 am

Aloyisius

that was years ago tho

9:02 am

MLFAN17

granny hmm

9:02 am

grannyrose

bye anniebrook. enjoy your day, hun

9:02 am

jaxx7

Red mullet are OK to eat, rose, but the grey feed around sewage pipes to feed so are a bit dodgy.

9:03 am

MLFAN17

granny what time is it there?

9:03 am

jaxx7

Add to that they taste muddy. the cat is welcome to it.

9:04 am

grannyrose

after 12 midnight ....actually wednesday morning...

9:04 am

MLFAN17

ah i wasnt sure how late

9:05 am

grannyrose

and i have to be up in 7 hours. second magnesium infusion coming up.

9:05 am

MLFAN17

what is that for granny?

9:05 am

saanichcat

what does the magnesuim do, rose?

9:06 am

grannyrose

if i was clever....i would be saying goodnight to you all.....ummm...goodnight.

9:06 am

MLFAN17

lol silly granny

9:07 am

grannyrose

magnesium is to help with the muscle quivering, and the nausea, and the body-temperature control.

9:07 am

saanichcat

sounds like it's a worthwhile treatment then

9:08 am

MLFAN17

some type of disease granny?

9:08 am

grannyrose

i have fibromyalgia. a disorder which affects my muscles and other bits of my body functions.

9:09 am

MLFAN17

ah i know other women who have that

9:09 am

saanichcat

that sounds terrible to deal with

9:09 am

grannyrose

mlf, this is relatively new therapy.

9:10 am

MLFAN17

i had thought that too much magnesium isnt good for the body after a while?

9:10 am

grannyrose

saanichcat...i try to not dwell on it...otherwise i would be permanently down...

9:11 am

grannyrose

mlf, they infuse 5 grams, weekly over 4 weeks...then cut back depending on the body response.

9:12 am

saanichcat

I really do hope it helps you rose

9:12 am

MLFAN17

5 grams seems to be a lot?

9:12 am

grannyrose

thanx saanichcat. so do i!!!

9:13 am

Aloyisius

... back, was unceremoniously kicked off the internet for some reason.. granny.. I too hope that the infusions will help - so sorry you have this challenge

9:14 am

grannyrose

mlf...i seem to excrete magnesium very fast...infusing gets it into a cellular level quickly. we have to chart how we are feeling every week, between infusions.

9:15 am

grannyrose

thanx aloy. all positive thoughts and prayers are very gratefully received.

9:15 am

Aloyisius

you got 'em !

9:19 am

jaxx7

hi Judi

1:36 pm

mcurlschool

First lunch of first day of school :-)

1:38 pm

MollyL

Tater tots? Chicken nuggets? Jello mold?

1:39 pm

Judi

Ketchup = vegetable?

1:39 pm

MollyL

Mystery meat!

1:40 pm

Judi

Or worse yet... The Michelle Obama menu.

1:40 pm

MollyL

Erp

1:44 pm

flosey

what is the MO menu?

1:45 pm

Judi

All fruits and vegetables, very little meat, no desserts. Like prison food for kids.

1:45 pm

flosey

wow, no desserts! couldn't do that

1:46 pm

flosey

could, I guess, but would not choose to

1:46 pm

Judi

There was a statistic recently released, say that, since the inception of newer, "healthier" school lunch offerings, kids are throwing out 50% more food.

1:46 pm

mcurlschool

mah, brought left over pizza from home!

1:48 pm

Judi

Between that and "common core", parents can now be assured that their children will be functionaly illiterate and malnourished.

1:49 pm

mcurlschool

I would say, having worked lunchroom supervision the past few years, that that % is more like 80% Judi

1:50 pm

MollyL

Oh, but who cares about the illiterate thing. Parents provide their kids with cell phones so all they have to do is WRYT LK THZ

1:51 pm

Judi

As with most things regarding schools, statistics are underreported. So, I'm inclined to believe you mcurl.

1:52 pm

Judi

Poor English teachers must be tearing their hair out. Grade school kids are probably counfounded as to why they have to use all those extra letters in the alphabet when they just R-not needed.

1:53 pm

mcurlschool

they don't teach the "grammar" portion of English any more, they are more concerned with reading fluency than anything else.

1:54 pm

Judi

Uhg. And I hear cursive writing is going by the wayside. Well, I always thought everyone would be better off printing anyway. Especially doctors.

1:55 pm

mcurlschool

it got so bad in our district last year regarding the amount of "condiments" the students were taking that the adults had to take over and the kids were only allowed 1 TBS of whatever the condiment was available. If you were having burger AND fries, you got 1 tbs (a 2 second pour) for both items.

1:56 pm

Judi

LOL. Ketchup rationing! Absurd!

1:56 pm

mcurlschool

Yes, cursive writing; for most teachers, is no longer on the front burner. The 4th grade teacher I volunteer for REQUIRES all "writing" work to be in cursive and even deducts points if not done that way but she is a rarity

1:59 pm

mcurlschool

well, signing off for now as my lunch time is done! I'll be back in the evening.

2:57 pm

doseffing

2:57 pm

MLFAN17

it should count as a word in this grid

2:58 pm

cybernan

right 9/54

2:58 pm

doseffing

... I'd bet that no one has actually used it ... as the adjective usually refers to dishwashing detergent

2:58 pm

doseffing

... and it doesn't work either

2:58 pm

MLFAN17

possible

2:58 pm

MLFAN17

we noticed it didnt work lol

2:58 pm

doseffing

... thus ... no words made up for advertising allowed

2:59 pm

MLFAN17

it could describe a drink or anything with that fruit in i would have guessed?

3:00 pm

doseffing

... you're right ... it could have ... but has it?

3:00 pm

flosey

3:10 pm

doseffing

... thanks ... that's was the one I didn't have ...

3:12 pm

Judi

Regarding the le5 citrus fruit + ice. That is an item that is two separate words. Hence, no joy in Babble land.

3:13 pm

doseffing

... yes ... but what about something which has the most le5y taste?

3:13 pm

Judi

So, stick that in your ice cream cone and suck it.

3:14 pm

cybernan

that's what I was thinking, dos

3:15 pm

Judi

Hmm. Good point. We must demand comparative justice for le5 conjugation.

3:16 pm

doseffing

... ooh ... I bet all the fe8/60s don't like the fe7/44 word ... ... and it must be an advertising word too

3:16 pm

Judi

Also, if your le5 is possessed, wouldn't it be le5-ic??

3:17 pm

doseffing

... ... only if it was bitten by a bat and had all the juice sucked out of it

3:18 pm

amelu0218

who is keeping the list of words for Dr God to add? LOL.

3:18 pm

amelu0218

chai, that's a good one. yet another foodie thing that simply did not "exist" until recently (i mean, did not exist around here, now it's everywhere)

8:43 pm

Jillyjill

I prefer the tradional Thai tea....but it's hard to find, even some Thai restaurants (keep in mind I am in Mt) don't have a clue what it is.

8:57 pm

MollyL

I didn't know churches had lead singers. Do you have back-up, doo-whop girls?

8:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

not all churches have lead singers. some call them songleaders, or soloists, or section leaders, or cantors. no doo-wop girls here, but there is a choir that sometimes sings backup

9:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

once, when we were doing a song where the choir just had to hum, i referred to them as my "pips" -- some of them did not think that was funny LOL

9:01 pm

MollyL

Oh see, I think referring to any back up singers as "Pips" is a compliment.

9:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

me too! well, we celebrate difference of opinion at my church, so it was cool

9:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i'm off to the kitchen to whip up some grub. bye for now
