12:16 am

rururocks

12:16 am

rururocks

12:16 am

rururocks

hi saanich

12:16 am

negativeneil

Hi and you bet me, btw.

12:16 am

12:17 am

rururocks

12:17 am

saanichcat

12:17 am

rururocks

oh

12:17 am

negativeneil

I must be beat... can't type.

12:17 am

rururocks

yeah.. maybe one out of a thousand

12:17 am

negativeneil

That's probably why you beat me! Haha.

12:17 am

negativeneil

I have 2 left.

12:18 am

rururocks

it's an easy grid neil

12:18 am

negativeneil

aaaand done. :)

12:18 am

negativeneil

No kidding. :P

12:18 am

rururocks

see?

12:18 am

rururocks

congrats

12:18 am

negativeneil

But I may have mistyped something.
Doing a lot of that this evening! Tired.

12:18 am

negativeneil

Hey ru?

12:18 am

negativeneil

Ever play boggle on Serpentine?

12:19 am

rururocks

no

12:19 am

rururocks

I have this and weboggle.. that kind of games me out

12:19 am

negativeneil

They have a few grids there... 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 8x8! That last one is tough. At least for me for now because it's strange looking at that many letter tiles.

12:19 am

negativeneil

Well I don't play them both at the same time. :P Just alternate when I feel like boggling.

12:20 am

rururocks

I think Mitch and Gremlin and Chuggaboom play serpentine.. maybe dart too

12:21 am

rururocks

I had to sit in a dentist chair today.. on a Sunday... so I'm cutting out. see you all later

12:22 am

saanichcat

'night ru

12:23 am

rururocks

12:23 am

saanichcat

OK ru, thanks

12:24 am

negativeneil

I'm sure gremlinn and dart probably do.

12:24 am

negativeneil

Ugh ru... take it easy!

12:24 am

rururocks

i'm pretty sure dart mentioned it

12:24 am

rururocks

gremlin is smart enough to excel at that game too I think

12:24 am

negativeneil

Well I'll let you know if I see him there.

12:25 am

negativeneil

Well yeah... he's probably smarter than any of us, I'm sure.

12:25 am

rururocks

ok.. take care

12:25 am

negativeneil

Well maybe not you...

12:25 am

negativeneil

But definitely smarter than me, if he truly sees the "phantoms" he says he does. :P

12:26 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

12:26 am

negativeneil

Anyway... I'm out. Have a good night. :)

12:26 am

Good evening :)

3:09 am

gran... re+z4

3:12 am

just found it

4:02 am

sprite

morning all

4:04 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. another bad night, hun? and how was yesterday for you?

4:04 am

sprite

hi sweetie, yes, horrible dreams. Yesterday was fine though :) And you?

4:04 am

sprite

*Hugs* for rose

4:06 am

grannyrose

i have had a lovely day. the company was great, the trip was great, the destination fascinating. with the aid of my walking stick, i walked for 1 hour. but there were seats everywhere, and toilets along the paths.

4:06 am

sprite

wow rose, just about perfect :) Am so glad. And were the animals delightful?

4:07 am

grannyrose

and the weather was out of a bandbox...perfect. sun shining and a light breeze blowing.

4:07 am

grannyrose

absolutely, especially the meerkat enclosure. they are sooo cute.

4:08 am

sprite

aw yeah, meerkats. Such funny animals. Am glad you had such a great day. You were due!

4:09 am

grannyrose

i think don enjoyed it too.

4:10 am

sprite

good :) And now? No spells of utter pain?

4:10 am

grannyrose

a few spasms in the back muscles. have been swallowing the magnesium tabs. they have settled for now.

4:11 am

sprite

ok, I hope they stay down :) *hugs* my dear friend. Well done and so glad it was fun.

4:12 am

grannyrose

i was surprised at how much the walking stick helped.

4:13 am

sprite

oh yeah. the best part of walking with a stick is that you relax more. In stead of this unstable base, you enlarge it to a stable 3-point area.

4:19 am

grannyrose

exactly. sprite, love. dinner is being served. i have to go. xoxox i hope you have a good day with nothing too hard to handle. {{hugs}}

4:19 am

sprite

that wasn't supposed to be a stopper

4:19 am

sprite

ok sweetie, enjoy your dinner! *hugs*

4:31 am

sprite

fireflies. Short and sweet. Bye all.

5:12 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

5:16 am

crosshair

saw in the chog that you ladies were talking about walking sticks. Check out a little company we have here that makes some of the best walking sticks around(the mrs and I each own one from this shop) http://www.canescanada.com/turned-hiki\nng-sticks

5:17 am

crosshair

darn.. will have to tiny url that...

Hi crossy

5:18 am

crosshair

howdy sukee

5:18 am

sukee

I saw a woman with a cool walking stick last week.

5:18 am

crosshair

a good walking stick is so handy and a thing of beauty

5:19 am

sukee

Yes, much better than my plain black cane

5:20 am

sukee

So, problem with cat is not kidneys or thyroid. They think it's gastrointestinal. Supposedly he has been losing blood, but it is unseen.

5:20 am

crosshair

mm:((

5:20 am

sukee

Now I have to get an ultrasound done. $450. It's racking up. But, I want to know

5:20 am

sukee

She said if it is what she thinks, it is treated by steroids.

5:21 am

crosshair

If you must use a cane, may as well have one you enjoy and take pride in owning:) Most of the ones I am showing you are less than 100 dollars

5:21 am

crosshair

ahh ok, that is not too bad then

5:21 am

sukee

Yes, but hopefully there are no tumours, etc. Let's hope it's simple.

5:21 am

crosshair

yes, without the ultrasound she cannot be difinitive

5:22 am

crosshair

it racks up fast, once we got our ultrasound and x-rays back we found out that our kitty #1 had colon cancer

5:22 am

sukee

I am still sure it was something he ate because it happened so quickly. But, he has been losing weight over the year.

5:23 am

sukee

aww.

5:23 am

crosshair

her back end got all scrawny like a cows back side and she was pooping blood

5:24 am

sukee

Sigh, it's always something.

5:24 am

crosshair

never, ever ends

5:25 am

sukee

Well, thankfully he is not bleeding that badly. Like I said, you can't see any. His back end is that scrawny, but he has always been a bit like that.

5:26 am

crosshair

well, hopefully it will be just a steroid treatment that is needed

5:27 am

sukee

I should get that test in the next couple of days and hopefully that is it. If surgery is involved, I will not put him through that at his ages.

5:27 am

crosshair

how old?

5:27 am

sukee

He is 16

5:27 am

crosshair

same age our kitty was

5:28 am

crosshair

right now we have an 8 year old, a 6 and a 2 year old kitty

5:28 am

sukee

Well, 16 and a half actually :)

5:28 am

sukee

I don't think I will get another cat, but I said that last time and got him less than a year after my other cat was put down.

5:30 am

crosshair

there are so many out there that need a forever home and the best solution for the pain of losing a beloved pet is to get another.

5:30 am

sukee

True, or I could foster.

5:31 am

sukee

But, I think I would get too attached if I did that.

5:32 am

crosshair

fostering is great! You get the best of both worlds. The shelter/ humane society pays for any vet visits, you get a pet to love. The only problem is sometimes you form a bond and it can be tough letting go when they are finally adopted

5:32 am

sukee

Boo is the smartest cat I have ever owned. He is also more social than others.

5:32 am

crosshair

snap

5:33 am

sukee

Anyway, Boo is still here for now :) Let's hope for another couple of years.

5:33 am

crosshair

indeed

5:33 am

sukee

So, a new iPad is out of the question for this year :)

5:35 am

sukee

I seem to be stuck at 27 to go

5:37 am

crosshair

oh well. things are highly overrated:)

5:38 am

sukee

Yes they are

5:38 am

crosshair

get yourself a kindle fore or a nook HD. less that 150 dollars and do many of the same things the high end tablets do but on a 7 inch screen

5:39 am

crosshair

Kindle Fire*

5:40 am

sukee

My iPad isn't too bad still, just some apps are not being updated for my version any more. I might cancel Next Issue until I get a more updated tablet.

5:40 am

crosshair

I own a Nook HD and it is one of the handiest devices I have ever owned

5:41 am

sukee

I may consider one of those, maybe I can convince someone to give it to me for my birthday/Christmas :)

5:46 am

crosshair

B&N is phasing out the the Nook HD reader/tablet and they already have thier newest creation on the market. You may be able to get the HD at a very reasonable price.

5:50 am

crosshair

and by high definition I mean high definition! the ones we own have better and crisper detail than our computer monitors:)

5:50 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone!

5:51 am

lbdawger

i love my kindle fire hd. i use it more than my tablet, which seems to freeze up all the time.

5:52 am

crosshair

I find my big tablet too heavy for reading sometimes:)

5:52 am

crosshair

howdy lbd

5:52 am

crosshair

but the HD is just right

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

5:53 am

lbdawger

hiya, crossy!

5:53 am

crosshair

In retrospect. if had had bought the HD before spending $700 on my high end tablet, I would have not bothered and saved all that money

5:53 am

crosshair

howdy scrabby

5:53 am

lbdawger

hi, scrabs!

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I slept poorly last night, as I usually do on Sunday nights. :-(

5:54 am

crosshair

poor mind is churning over everything that must be done on Monday:(

5:55 am

sukee

I'm back, went to get ready :)

5:55 am

sukee

I find it hard to read with my tablet too. I prefer my Kindle. Which is getting old too.

5:55 am

sukee

Hi scrabs and lbd

5:56 am

Scrabbler

The whole week---on call Wed, hospital mtg, then on call for the weekend, patient getting lymph node biopsy this week--please don't be lymphoma...

5:56 am

Scrabbler

I have a Nook Color but don't use it much.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

hello

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi sukee and ruby

5:58 am

sukee

Hi Ruby

5:58 am

lbdawger

hi sukee! new kindle fire is out, not sure of the price, but i thought i saw $99 US.

5:58 am

lbdawger

hi ruby!

5:58 am

rubyfoo

Yay, I have a stupid question for scrabbler" I have an old friend, Irene Szabo who had a company called Ms. Fixit, who may or may no live near you. Shot in the dark.

5:59 am

rubyfoo

Helo sukee and ibbd

5:59 am

crosshair

((ruby))

5:59 am

rubyfoo

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I know of Mrs Fixit--newspaper column--but not Irene Szabo.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

aaah, just a try

6:01 am

crosshair

lol, scrabby. I remember when I was diagnosed with my second cancer, the one in the nodes. The oncologist read it off on a list of tests with such elan, he made it sound like i had to take a course of multi-vitamins instead of a grueling half year of chemo. I actually had to get him to stop, back up, and slow down so i could absorb it all and discuss it a bit.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

This boy (9 yrs old) has 5 nodes in his right groin for the last 2.5 wks.

6:02 am

crosshair

oh my:(

6:02 am

crosshair

a 9 year old:(

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I had 2 bd ones out of the 32 that they took but so far, so good

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Pray for benign on pathology report.

6:03 am

crosshair

Prayers sent

6:04 am

rubyfoo

Yes

6:04 am

crosshair

hopefully they fast-track the biopsy

6:04 am

lbdawger

oh no! prayers being sent, scrabs

6:04 am

sukee

Big news, Kate is due in April. Now you can go on with your day :)

6:04 am

sukee

I hope all is good Scrabs.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Yay for pregnancy.

6:05 am

rubyfoo

yay for Kate' It's nice to hear some good news

6:06 am

sukee

Yes, that is why I don't mind hearing about them or about the Clooney wedding, something positive.

6:07 am

sukee

Oh, and Nigeria is saying they have eradicated Ebola... and they didn't have to close their borders to do it.

6:07 am

rubyfoo

gee, I can't imagine not being fascinated by celebrity weddings -- NOT!

6:07 am

rubyfoo

and they had 1 case?

6:08 am

rubyfoo

with advance warning, so they were prepared

6:08 am

lbdawger

kate who?

6:08 am

sukee

They had an outbreak, more than 1 :) They just trained their medical workers properly. And the nurse in Spain is cured, too bad they had to kill her dog.

6:08 am

rubyfoo

Fr hell is in here

6:09 am

sukee

Anyway, time for me to go to the gym. Take care all.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

gy! I'll be lucky to get bck upstairs to lie down on the couch!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Bye sukee

6:10 am

crosshair

small victories, ruby, celebrate the small victories!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

for sure!

6:10 am

lbdawger

have a good workout, sukee

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. Then this afternoon I am taking my mother to the doctor--walker, wheelchair, waiting....my mother will be so cranky.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

half and I'm going to give the paper a good workout!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

6:14 am

crosshair

tc scrabby and ruby

6:15 am

evanonut

a yittle bittle behbeh grid

6:16 am

crosshair

just a wee beastie

6:16 am

evanonut

you need those wee little beasties to keep you humble

6:18 am

crosshair

I think of grids like this as much like those yappy, over-bred ankle-biters the kennels used to churn out before the laws clamped down on them

6:19 am

evanonut

ugh, give me a large breed anyday. I swear the larger they are the gentler they are

6:21 am

crosshair

I am glad that dogs and cats are no longer sold in pet stores here. You either get referred to a local shelter or a govt approved registered breeder. it has effectively killed off all the mills.

6:22 am

lbdawger

Hiya
NUTCASE!!

6:22 am

evanonut

i have high hopes my graphite will hit one hundred pounds. and i wish they did that here. I checked shelters before buying a puppy.

6:22 am

evanonut

DAWGY DAWG!!!

6:22 am

crosshair

Each shop also hosts adoption days sponsored by the Humane society and it is good for everyone

6:22 am

crosshair

who ya calling a nutcase??!

6:22 am

crosshair

:P

6:23 am

evanonut

no one had puppys at the time. okay there was one that was not for me and that was it. so i bought my silver. and i was very displeased with the breeder.

6:23 am

evanonut

when my dog is an adult and if i don't have to work overtime as they've implied, i may start volunteering to walk the humane society dogs.

6:24 am

crosshair

My son volunteered for 2 years at our local shelter.

6:25 am

lbdawger

i too wish they had that law here in the states. i'd rather go through a certified breeder or the humane society

6:25 am

crosshair

it is working very well,lbd

6:26 am

crosshair

saves the customer having to do all that leg-work as well

6:26 am

crosshair

and you KNOW your are getting a good pet

6:26 am

evanonut

dawg, my breeder WAS a certified breeder

6:26 am

evanonut

and you know what happened, my puppy showed up COVERED in fleas

6:26 am

lbdawger

we aren't looking for another furbaby, but i do check the ads occassionally to see what's out there. the prices are shocking!

6:27 am

evanonut

or registered or whatever the term is

6:27 am

lbdawger

omg! i'd turn them in!

6:27 am

evanonut

graphite was $1000

6:27 am

crosshair

guess all certification boards are not created equal

6:27 am

evanonut

I've toyed with the idea dawg

6:28 am

crosshair

Humane society is best. they come fixed, flea treated, and micro-chipped

6:28 am

lbdawger

no toying, nutty. call them in. they obviously need someone watching over them. those poor puppies!

6:29 am

evanonut

they had two i considered. one lab puppy mix (black) who was not interested in me. and one 2-4 year old lab (black) mix who liked me but was too interested in what was going on all around and i have no fence.

6:29 am

lbdawger

i don't think the humane societies here chip the animals.

6:29 am

evanonut

okay dawgy, i'll report her to the aks

6:29 am

evanonut

akc

6:30 am

crosshair

it is new here within last 5 years. that way they do not get many adopt-and -dumps because the owner can now be traced

6:30 am

evanonut

but all in all, i have such a pup with perfect temperament!

6:30 am

lbdawger

i can't believe the owners would allow that to happen. darn fleas get in and on everything!

6:30 am

crosshair

love the name graphite

6:30 am

lbdawger

i'm glad you have a sweet companion. that's what it all boils down to.

6:32 am

evanonut

thanks crossy. i chose it because he's grey, I'm an artist and artists need...pencils!

6:33 am

crosshair

I am a writer, so next cat will either be named "Itallics" or "Smirnoff" if it is a Russian blue

6:33 am

evanonut

thanks goodness not comic sans!!!

6:34 am

crosshair

Just for a laugh I did one whole essay in comic sans just to see what the teacher would say:)

6:35 am

evanonut

ha! i aced typography, so i get a little irritated by poor typography

6:35 am

crosshair

My favorite is Bookman Old Style #12

6:36 am

evanonut

can there be a favorite? no. but i do tend to favor sans serif. cleaner.

6:36 am

crosshair

I like bookman i suppose because it is what I am used to seeing in all my older hard-cover books

6:38 am

evanonut

ah, I'm looking at fonts more from a design standpoint rather than a book layout.

6:38 am

crosshair

With me it is as if everything is going to be a novel:)

6:40 am

crosshair

Should ask Dr. G if he can mod this old game so we can select different fonts for ourselves:))

6:40 am

lbdawger

i just want a clean easy to read font. i hate italics.

6:41 am

evanonut

i begged him for an ipad app, he said no can do, that its barely paying for itself

6:41 am

lbdawger

these old eyeballs don't focus so well with fancy schmancy letters.

6:41 am

crosshair

I only use them for emphasis and when required by the rules of the road, lbd:)

6:42 am

crosshair

my nook plays babble just fine, no app needed

6:43 am

evanonut

it runs it, there could just be a better interface for tablets

6:44 am

crosshair

agreed. it is difficult to chat and play the grid at the same time, but that is just a space issue

6:44 am

evanonut

i rather thought that if there was an app he might be able to draw in more players, sell the app for a little $$$

6:44 am

crosshair

different browsers also will display if differently

6:45 am

crosshair

it*

6:47 am

evanonut

true, but why clutter my ipad with a browser other than ios?

6:49 am

crosshair

No real clutter> I often have three or four browsers at the ready for different applications as needed

6:49 am

evanonut

certainly on my computer several browsers

6:49 am

crosshair

But then again an android based os is not proprietary. Can do pretty much what i wish with it.

6:50 am

evanonut

i was horrible at web design but i at least learned that different browsers are good to have

6:50 am

crosshair

For example, the Opera browser has its own server compression feature and is handy for those who have a data cap but still like to stream videos

6:51 am

crosshair

sadly,opera is terrible at everything else;)

6:54 am

pippingeek

morning all!

6:54 am

crosshair

howdy, pippin:)

6:54 am

pippingeek

what's for breakfast?

6:55 am

evanonut

never heard of opera browser, i have ie, chrome and firefox

6:55 am

crosshair

Just toasted bagels with jam or cream cheese and a glass of OJ

6:56 am

crosshair

try opera if you need a good compression fature

6:56 am

crosshair

feature

6:57 am

pippingeek

I'm still just having the caffeine portion, haven't worked my way up to food yet

6:57 am

pippingeek

i missed the font discussion!

6:58 am

pippingeek

did y'all see someone came out with a typewriter that types in comic sans, so you can type all your passive aggressive notes?

6:58 am

crosshair

hat is your favorite font, pippin?

6:58 am

crosshair

what*

6:59 am

pippingeek

for internet stuff, i'm partial to verdana

6:59 am

crosshair

interesting

6:59 am

pippingeek

for printed, i like tahoma, i find it very clear, high contrast, easy to read

6:59 am

crosshair

do not know that one

6:59 am

pippingeek

for a serif font, i like garamond book

7:00 am

crosshair

ahh, ok. it is a very bold type

7:00 am

pippingeek

(oh god, this means I'm a giant font nerd, doesn't it)

7:00 am

crosshair

Join the club. We have jackets

7:00 am

uusue2

Morning all!

7:00 am

pippingeek

hi sue!

7:00 am

crosshair

Howdy suze!!

7:01 am

pippingeek

crossy, did you see pinikula yesterday?

7:01 am

crosshair

no, what did I miss?

7:01 am

uusue2

Hi pip and crossy!

7:01 am

pippingeek

she has the third grand on the way!

7:02 am

uusue2

Hi and bye, lbd!

7:06 am

pippingeek

oof, not liking this grid

7:08 am

uusue2

Really? I'm down to 16 and still finding the occadional word

7:08 am

crosshair

off to class everyone tc all and happy babbling!

7:09 am

pippingeek

enjoy crossy

7:09 am

uusue2

Bye crossy!

7:09 am

MollyL

People still use typewriters?

7:09 am

pippingeek

maybe it's a slow start for me

7:10 am

suefrad625

morning

7:10 am

pippingeek

some, molly, especially those hipsters who like to be all old school

7:10 am

uusue2

I don't usually list when I'm on the tablet althiugh I occasionally look at l7ckety for hints - haven't had to do that yet

7:10 am

uusue2

Hi Sue!

7:10 am

suefrad625

my son missed the bus and could not believe he had to walk the .6 mile to school in 50 degree weather. I am a BEAST. This after 2 warnings.

7:11 am

MollyL

Ah, do they have rotary phones and sets of Encyclopedia Britannica too?

7:11 am

uusue2

Pretty funny, Sue! The walk will do him goon.

7:11 am

suefrad625

i did molly

7:11 am

uusue2

Aaugh! GOOD!

7:12 am

suefrad625

figured it aint gonna hurt

7:12 am

MollyL

Good for you Sue. He will learn a lesson from that.

7:12 am

suefrad625

and maybe loose a pound out of the 30 that needs to go

7:12 am

pippingeek

hi sue!

7:13 am

suefrad625

hi pip, how is it going?

7:13 am

Anniebrook

good morning

7:13 am

pippingeek

hi annie

7:13 am

MollyL

Kids are so coddled these days. It's a wonder they learn anything about consequences.

7:13 am

uusue2

I don't have a functioning typewriter, so I hand-address envelopes

7:13 am

uusue2

Hi Annie!

7:13 am

Anniebrook

hi pipping

7:13 am

pippingeek

hanging in, sue, should be studying my medical terminology, but i figured a short grid couldn't derail me too much

7:13 am

Anniebrook

Hi sue, hope Frank is feeling better

7:14 am

MollyL

You can print envelopes from a computer, hence no need for a typewriter to address them.

7:14 am

uusue2

I think we will finally go home this morning, Annie!

7:14 am

suefrad625

I started a great project yesterday. I have a fiber door in the back that has my dog door in it, but the room was darkened by the solid door. I cut a good size square out, had a used golf cart windows, cut a good size square out, framed it with trim and now have a window in my door.

7:15 am

Anniebrook

Thanks goodness, hope Frank continues to improve

7:15 am

uusue2

Yes, you can print labels too, but for the occasional get well crd I don't bother

7:15 am

suefrad625

it will actually help. Walking away and going back is good for the brain.

7:16 am

uusue2

That sounds really nice, Sue!

7:16 am

MollyL

I am leery of doors with windows in them. Someone can break the glass and unlock the door.

7:16 am

pippingeek

windows and sunlight are so key

7:17 am

suefrad625

great book for learning to study better is, The New Science of Learning, How to learn in harmony with your brain Terry Doyle and Todd Zakrajsek

7:17 am

uusue2

The house we are renting has several skylights - they are wonderful!

7:17 am

suefrad625

True Molly, but coming from Brooklyn NY, you know anyone can get in if they want

7:18 am

suefrad625

I have dogs, useless as they are, they do bark.....sometimes

7:19 am

pippingeek

it's true. better in this world to just let the fear go, things are going to happen regardless of how you plan

7:20 am

MollyL

Well, I don't live in fear. I do, however, try to deter crime as often as is reasonably possible.

7:22 am

pippingeek

I'm also lucky, I live in a quiet neighborhood, with enough homeless people to keep the petty crime down

7:23 am

Anniebrook

pip, do you live in Park Slope?

7:23 am

uusue2

One of the nice things about kiving in a small town - very low crime rate

7:23 am

pippingeek

I'm in Kensington, on Ocean Parkway and 18th, about a mile and change below the park

7:24 am

pippingeek

nobody can afford park slope these days, that's as expensive as manhattan

7:24 am

MollyL

So Pip, you can afford a one bedroom apartment in New York, but not where you physician's assistant school is?

7:25 am

Anniebrook

That is what is happening to Greenpoint..used to be a poor workingman's neighborhood.

7:25 am

pippingeek

no, i was talking to some friends in chicago and apparently there just aren't one bedrooms in chicago except in this one area (except for luxury one bedrooms)

7:26 am

pippingeek

and molly, i live an hour outside of the city, that's why i can afford it, and i can only barely afford it

7:26 am

MollyL

Oh, that seems odd. Especially with the amount of people who are single these days.

7:26 am

pippingeek

it's just an architectural quirk of the city, it seems

7:27 am

Anniebrook

pip, when is your interview?

7:27 am

MollyL

I've read about what apartments in the city rent for and it literally makes me gasp.

7:27 am

pippingeek

november 7.

7:27 am

suefrad625

then this is of interest. They have a camera for IPhone's that are inferred, when applied it will be able to see the keys that were pressed on an ATM or any plastic or rubber keypad and show the numbers pushed and in what order...even house keypads. http://youtu.be/8Vc-69M-UWk

7:28 am

suefrad625

PIPPIN...where are in in Kensington?

7:28 am

pippingeek

it's appalling, and brooklyn is almost expensive, or at least anything less than an hour by train. now it's all queens and jersey for those who want a quick commute

7:29 am

pippingeek

sue, i'm 18th and ocean pkwy

7:29 am

suefrad625

I rode horses in PP, went to PS130, and just moved my father from our apt on the Circle

7:29 am

suefrad625

small world

7:29 am

suefrad625

and you are right, things have changed A LOT

7:30 am

suefrad625

my fathers apt was $1800 per mth for about 1500 sq, not $6000

7:31 am

uusue2

Well, I am down to 12. Hope the doctor comes by soon and we can go home. Talk to you all later!

7:31 am

pippingeek

yeah, my friends got priced out of their place is PS, they went to Bushwick, which is now just crwling with 20something hipsters who all dress like it's 1989, it is soooo weird

7:32 am

pippingeek

good luck sue, love to you and frank

7:32 am

Anniebrook

at one time, bushwick was a drug infested slum

7:34 am

MollyL

Interesting video Sue, and good advice as to how to avoid theft that way

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Pippin, I found you on the map. Is the park nice? Do people kayak on the lake?

7:39 am

suefrad625

yuck scrabbler

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Disgusting, dirty lake?

7:39 am

suefrad625

pip i was saying that i rode my horse in prospect park

7:39 am

pippingeek

the park is lovely. i think they do paddleboats on one section of the lake, but mainly it's just lake

7:40 am

suefrad625

and worked at the stables for many years

7:40 am

pippingeek

there are ducks and geese and lovely but mean swans (swans are jerks)

7:40 am

suefrad625

lol

7:40 am

suefrad625

fene

7:40 am

pippingeek

and I run and bike around the park (or did before the migraines stopped me from exercising this summer)

7:40 am

suefrad625

sorry

7:40 am

MollyL

Pip, draw your blinds. Scrabbler is peeking in.
: D

7:41 am

pippingeek

you should be sorry, it's not a word!

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Pip, I am a migraineur too. Are you taking magnesium and vit B. Read about Migrelief.

7:41 am

pippingeek

it's okay, i'm bundled up, it's chilly in here this morning

7:41 am

pippingeek

also I'm hopefully moving to chicago soon

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Hah, Google Earth is giving me a view of Pip at home.

7:42 am

MollyL

Well be sure to bring all your "warm gear" to Chicago. Brr.

7:42 am

pippingeek

can't take Mg because I already have GI issues, I take various triptans, and am now taking Topamax which is some serious stuff but if it gives me my life back i will take it

7:43 am

pippingeek

i had to completely stop drinking and exercising and I'm not okay with that (i mean the drinkig whatever, I'll live, but the exercising is NOT OKAY)

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Gluten can trigger migraines for some migraineurs.

7:44 am

MollyL

Is migraineurs a real word?

7:44 am

Scrabbler

I have considered Topamax too. I average 4 migraines monthly.

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Yes, a real word for migraine sufferers.

7:46 am

pippingeek

i got to the point where i was having at least 6, and since the NSAIDS put a hole in my stomach and I had to quit them (and thus gave me rebound headaches) I've had daily mild to moderate headaches for two months. it's been no fun at all

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Pip, I can relate. I get brief, minor migraines too. Migraineurs lose days to the episodes.

7:48 am

pippingeek

just got up to full treatment dose of topamax today (takes 2 months to taper up) and only this week do i feel like the daily minor ones are starting to leave me. which means i can get back to my school work seriously, wich is great, but I am so, so behind!

7:48 am

Scrabbler

How are the side effects of Topamax?

7:48 am

pippingeek

but blah blah, my boring headaches, enough about me, how is everyone else?

7:49 am

Scrabbler

But we can commiserate, right?

7:49 am

pippingeek

oh man, side effects are crazy - all carbonated beverages taste kind of awful - like orange juice after brushing your teeth bad - so no soda or beer or hard cider etc

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Much sedation, dopiness?

7:50 am

pippingeek

and i have tingly hands and feet, and it's possible that i may lose my hair, but i'm hoping i will avoid that, and i may experience some concentration issues and difficulty finding words

7:50 am

pippingeek

because that's what I want in a PA school interview!

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Grrrrr

7:50 am

pippingeek

but still, that versus sanity, worth it

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Good luck with PA school interviews.

7:52 am

pippingeek

thanks!

7:53 am

evanonut

PA school as in state or something else?

7:53 am

pippingeek

7:53 am

evanonut

also, i love Dasani sparkling lime water

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nutty and puppy.

1:07 pm

MimiCat

My doc is on vacation...no work for me today!

1:07 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...anything goes these days!

1:08 pm

Jillyjill

Mimi, are you all settled in your new home?

1:08 pm

MimiCat

At least she's not pregnant! Funny thing is, she's exactly the age I was when I married her father (28) and got married by a justice of the peace just like we did...scary.

1:09 pm

MimiCat

Not getting the house until next year, Jilly....needed time to get things in order financially and with my health.

Hopefully she will break the mold and be happily married forever!

1:34 pm

Jillyjill

Nice easy day at work. Two great patients, one a shirtail relative (his daughter in law is the sister of my husbands sister's husband...LOL) and one that moved here recently whom was from the town in RI that my son lives in and worked in the area he used to live in. Great time chatting about the local area there.

1:34 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry about the wait...offices seem not to understand how distressing that is.

1:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

love those coincidences.

1:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

not distressing as much as isrupting, you know? need to run errands while it is still light and not rush hour.

1:35 pm

Jillyjill

I know...love how small our world can be. Should explain, we live in Montana and he was from MA/RI

1:35 pm

Jillyjill

That's why I give my cell phone...then am free to do as I wish!

1:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not think they would havepatience to wait while i found a private spot if i am in a store

1:36 pm

Jillyjill

I have no mercy...they wait!

1:40 pm

Jillyjill

Plus, they can leave a voice mail.

1:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

they say they cannot. hipa.

1:42 pm

Jillyjill

If you have left a voice mail reply that includes your name, it is perfectly legal

1:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps the news must be explained and cannot simply be left. which is bad.

4:26 pm

kje

bye book

4:34 pm

stidgmere

ty kje. Not reading the chog in a timely manner.

4:35 pm

stidgmere

I like brussel sprouts but do not have a good salad recipe. It would take crisp bacon and a cole slaw type of dressing very well.

4:38 pm

MollyL

Personally, I wouldn't go near a raw Brussels sprout. The recipes I have seen for using them raw are all variations on shaving them thinly and tossing them in vinaigrette.

4:40 pm

rubyfoo

midnight snack run

4:40 pm

rubyfoo

hello

4:44 pm

MollyL

More quail eggs Ruby?

4:44 pm

rubyfoo

zzzzzzzzzi make wondefu Brussels sprouts - firs, boil tem to death, cooked in half. Drain them and cook in butterolive oil combo with fresh garlic 'til they start to caramelize. Heaven

4:44 pm

rubyfoo

yup

4:44 pm

rubyfoo

that was a garbled mess, better turn on the light

4:45 pm

MollyL

I toss mine in herbs and olive oil and roast them.

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

cut in half, cook to deth, sute in olive oil/butter combo with fresh garlic.

4:47 pm

MollyL

Yours sound good

4:47 pm

rubyfoo

but I'm sure roasting is better for you.

4:48 pm

rubyfoo

I always overcook vegetable

4:48 pm

MollyL

I'm going to try adding some garlic to the herb/olive oil mix next time I fix them.

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

we get wonderful fresh purple and green garlic here part of the year. They're not very strong but tste wonderful

4:52 pm

penquis

i appreciate that!....i did find it...ty...

6:03 pm

fuzzybunny

Glad to help.

6:23 pm

MollyL

Just for future reference, a request for STATS is always a request for the first two letters and the letter count/point value

6:28 pm

penquis

i am done.... :o)

6:33 pm

meliae

Grats Pen :)

6:33 pm

meliae

6:42 pm

penquis

6:46 pm

Jindigo

clue for FE 5 please - does it use the very high point tile

6:47 pm

MollyL

Yep. Those high points are always a clue. Sounds like what you do to water to make ice.

6:47 pm

penquis

yes...

6:47 pm

Jindigo

thanks Molly - i was looking up not down

6:52 pm

Rearden

Thanks, pen. You too. :)

6:55 pm

penquis

6:56 pm

Jindigo

RE 5? does that use the high point tile too?

6:57 pm

Actually, two high point

7:05 pm

MollyL

*Sends out Amber Alert

7:05 pm

penquis

um...that's what i said earlier...

7:06 pm

MollyL

Pen, I'm really starting to think that people don't read the chat

7:07 pm

rururocks

that's because they are too busy complaining about it to actually read it ;)

7:09 pm

penquis

i think people sometimes just glance to see if their word has been clued, like re = blah blah....

7:10 pm

MollyL

Well, I don't see the point in asking for clues if the person who asked is not going to read the chat to see if their question is answered.

7:10 pm

rururocks

what about people who ask for clues but "already have the word"

7:11 pm

rururocks

I have that one.. I need the "other" four

7:11 pm

rururocks

grrrrrrrrr

7:11 pm

MollyL

Yep, there's that. And "oh, I didn't see that"...really?

7:11 pm

penquis

ah well that's a different story....i have asked and then immediately found it myself....pulling a you-know-who move... ;o)

7:12 pm

rururocks

I think it's only polite to pretend you needed it anyway and thank people

7:12 pm

rururocks

:D

7:12 pm

MollyL

Yeah Pen, but that is different than saying "I already have that one"

7:13 pm

penquis

sometimes people don't check to see if there is more than one word with the same stats...

7:13 pm

MollyL

Sometimes people don't check a lot of things

7:13 pm

rururocks

sometimes people don't even try to find the word

7:13 pm

meliae

I can't figure this out then what I am missing

7:14 pm

rururocks

re 6/33 ? You might need?

7:14 pm

MollyL

Probably re6/33 re + Rod Serlings show...Twilight...

7:14 pm

MollyL

7:15 pm

rururocks

well.. if I'm going to make you chicken soup :D

7:15 pm

meliae

Yep that was the one and I added points wrong so that didn't help, thank you

I used to work with a woman who added salt to canned soup. That is like the people who add salt to the popcorn at movie theaters. Why not just open up the salt shaker and eat the stuff.
