rastapopolous

I suppose everyone's griped about ghrelin already.

2:29 am

grannyrose

rasta...col....that is not a word i use in my everyday conversation. i had to look it up. and it appears to be quite a legit word.

2:55 am

grannyrose

bb l. dinner ready. xoxox

3:01 am

sprite

good morning all

3:07 am

sprite

the ghrelin hormone might not be valid because it is actually an abbreviation. It stands for ' growth hormone-releasing peptide'

3:08 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling sprite

3:09 am

sprite

though I don't know where the P from peptide has gone, but ok, that is language for ya

3:09 am

sprite

hello my dear rose *hugs* My dentist visit is today, darling... still have to go.

3:12 am

grannyrose

actually sprite it is the name of the cells in the gastrointestinal tract which produce the pepsin, ghrelin. at least according to wikipaedia.

3:13 am

grannyrose

ahhh, my love...i am still praying then....

3:13 am

grannyrose

and wikipedia spells it with a lower case g

3:14 am

sprite

ah, here it is, growth hormone-releasing neuropeptide' is what the name comes from.

3:14 am

grannyrose

which is very weird when as you say it is an anacronym

3:16 am

sprite

I got up this morning and had a spontaneous nosebleed. What do you think, lol... bloodpressure through the roof much?

3:16 am

sprite

ks killed

3:16 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i think, considering what your day holds. {{hugs}} my darling

3:17 am

sprite

am having coffee now, will try for the apples after, and then extensive brusing of teeth... after that, just shoot me please :)

3:18 am

grannyrose

NO WAY!!!!! i want you alive and well, standing with arms open, ready for the bestus cuddle ever.

3:19 am

grannyrose

yay on the k's sprite. well done you

3:19 am

sprite

well, yeah, of course. I want that too. But I don't wanna dentist!

3:20 am

grannyrose

just gently hold his family jewels in your hand, bat your eyelashes, and say sweetly...now...we aren't going to hurt each other, are we?

3:21 am

sprite

roflollllll oh that would work!

3:22 am

grannyrose

hold it in your mind as you sit in that chair. marvellous the effect on how you feel.

3:23 am

sprite

hehehe you are funny! :)

3:24 am

grannyrose

i am so excited about the car...not so over-joyed about sunday.

3:25 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Well who knows, the new car might be there already. And if not, just let the man have his fun. You go do your own thing... laze about, watch dvds, eat goodies... and ignore the telephone.

3:25 am

grannyrose

they so wanted us to instal a GPS...but we held firm. to up-date the maps cost up to AU$400 each time.

3:26 am

sprite

omg! That is more than our car cost in total, lol

3:28 am

grannyrose

we are adding a glaze to the duco, as from experience i know it protects the duco so well. also adding the most dark tint to the windows as is legal.

3:28 am

sprite

oh wait... no... comma misplaced. But still, a load of money.

3:28 am

sprite

what is the duco?

3:29 am

grannyrose

the paint on the outside

3:29 am

sprite

ah, we call that the laquer layer (laklaag)

3:29 am

sprite

lacquer? Yeah, I think lacquer with a C

3:30 am

grannyrose

originally a lacquer developed to protect the metal cars are made from.

3:30 am

sprite

yeah, right

3:31 am

grannyrose

we use duco as a generic term

3:32 am

sprite

sounds good to me, darling. I hope the car will be there before sunday. And if Don is dumb enough to go drive all day in the old car, hurting his shoulder, he does not deserve any sympathy or help for it.

3:32 am

sprite

I like it, short and clear. Duco sounds good. But alas, not a dutch word.

3:33 am

grannyrose

oh he won't be driving...he will be on the motorcycle which of course excludes me from participating.

3:34 am

sprite

aw sweetie *hugs* It sucks when you can't do what you want to do, I know. Can you try and be happy for him? And plan good stuff for yourself so you can enjoy the day in another way?

3:36 am

grannyrose

yeah, i can...but am not ready to deal with the bon-homie phone call he usually makes. it tears my gut apart...especiallly when he invites everyone who is there to yell hello or cheers.

3:38 am

sprite

*holds rose real close* I understand, darling, I really do. I had to learn to let Rob go canoeing and camping out too, and it hurts. Such a phone call... he only wants to let you know he is thinking of you and wants you to feel part of it somehow. It is not gloating at all. But yeah, it is hard.

3:40 am

grannyrose

sprite, the motorcycle culture...the females feel that every male with arm reach is to be subjected to hugs and kisses...i so am not ready for that...and i am thinking i never will be ready.

3:42 am

sprite

you will, darling. You grow stronger every day. You have nothing to fear from any of those females. Don loves you, and hugs and kisses are a far cry from mindblowing sex, lol... which he finds with you. Have faith. Just let it go and let him... it will be fine.

3:43 am

grannyrose

especially females i do not know, and do not have the courtesy to introduce themselves.

3:44 am

grannyrose

i hear you sweetie. i will read, learn and inwardly digest. * sigh * you are so wise.

3:44 am

sprite

bad manners from the ladies and not so good from Don either. *hugs* Oh that rotten insecurity, huh... it will bite our asses each and every time.

3:49 am

sprite

you still with me, darling?

3:51 am

grannyrose

sorry, sweetie. pumpkin time fast approaching. went and got my meds.

3:51 am

sprite

ah, good! Time to nod off and dream sweet dreams soon.

3:52 am

sprite

wish I could say the same, lol

3:52 am

grannyrose

sprite, does the term ..... a crusty old bachelor....mean anything? that is a great description of don. he simply cannot see that his behaviour has to modify now that he is married.

3:54 am

sprite

hahaha yes that means something to me, I get the picture. What he must learn is to make sure he introduces you, and to let everybody know you are the love of his life and very special to him. Once that is clear, he can hug and kiss his friends, no problem.

3:55 am

grannyrose

absolutely sprite. i could live with that.

3:56 am

sprite

then all that is left to do is tell Don he can spare you a lot of pain and insecurity by doing so. That much of it is teachable at least :)

3:58 am

grannyrose

yeah...i don't think he understands just how much it hurts me...i am thinking he would be devastated if he knew.

4:01 am

sprite

yes I think so too, darling. Because for him it is just friendship towards the other motor club people. And he doesn't know the kind of insecurity and vulnerability that is causing you so much pain. You will have to explain it to him, and simply ask him to introduce you to them every time, as his wife and love. While he holds your hand, lol. And then you can stand back and let him act as normal with his friends, while you look on in the security that everyone knows he is yours.

4:04 am

grannyrose

yup, all good

4:04 am

grannyrose

but on sunday i am not going to be there...waaahhhh!

4:05 am

sprite

lol ok :) Just let the phone go to voicemail. No need to leave yourself open to pain. Make sure you have some awesome dvds lying around, and spend the day as lazy as you can ::)

4:06 am

sprite

wow, I just sprouted two more eyes. I meant :)

4:07 am

grannyrose

yeah, the ey's were easy...at least i hope that is what you meant.

4:08 am

sprite

lol no. I meant the smiley with the double ::

4:09 am

grannyrose

oh... * giggle *

4:09 am

rastapopolous

laser is also an acronym - light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. So is scuba - self contained underwater breathing apparatus. There's a point where they just become words. Certainly in the biochem/nutrition fields (where I reside) ghrelin is just a word.

4:09 am

sprite

:D

4:10 am

grannyrose

see?? just how much i see past anything wrong you may do?? in my sight you are perfect.

4:10 am

grannyrose

whoot!! g'day rasta

4:10 am

sprite

hello rasta, I totally agree. But that is enable for you. Always a surprise, never a dull moment.

4:11 am

sprite

roflollll rose.... kick me from that pedestal please, before I fall down... :P

4:11 am

grannyrose

oh...i will catch you dearest.

4:11 am

sprite

ah, ok then :)

4:12 am

grannyrose

i'm the grease spot on the floor under you....just joking...roflol

4:12 am

sprite

lololllll noooooo! Rose, please bounce back... I need you alive and round and perfect

4:13 am

grannyrose

4:16 am

pink17

4:16 am

grannyrose

pink...not sure if you saw?? medical panel decided in my favour. workcover agents have to re-instal payments.

4:16 am

rastapopolous

Yes, I know, I'm just griping. I was so excited to find it :) and then it was declined....

4:17 am

pink17

that is super grose what a long haul for you though

4:17 am

sprite

I hear ya, rasta! Just a beautiful word, and so smart to spot it, with that unusual ghr combo... and then to be refused!

4:17 am

sprite

just such* a beautiful word

4:17 am

rubyfoo

a quick hello from SE Painland!

4:18 am

sprite

hi ruby, sorry to hear you are still in pain.

4:18 am

pink17

4:18 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

pink17

4:18 am

rastapopolous

Sprite, you're in France, right? I'm currently in Paris, my dd just had a baby here.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

bye and hi pink

4:19 am

sprite

constant pain will do that to you. Poor darling :(

4:19 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams pink. xoxox

4:19 am

sprite

night pink, sleep well and dream sweet (or very naughty) dreams

4:19 am

sprite

congratz on the new arrival, rasta! No, I am in the netherlands. Ruby is in France though.

4:19 am

grannyrose

rasta, sprite in holland, ruby in france.

4:20 am

grannyrose

and rasta, congrats on the new granddaughter. i hope all is well?

4:21 am

sprite

are mother and child ok?

4:21 am

rastapopolous

yes, some nursing issues but they're improving

4:21 am

rubyfoo

congrats, new granny

4:22 am

rastapopolous

it's a grandson, actually. But yes, very excited.

4:23 am

grannyrose

awww,rasta...so much pleasure. do we have a name yet? birth weight?

4:24 am

rastapopolous

3.15 kg, his name is Trevor Ray David. I was expecting something a little more French, but I guess his French last name is deemed sufficient...

4:24 am

sprite

it sometimes takes a while for the nursing to really start going. Both mother and child have to learn, lol.

4:24 am

sprite

wow, nice and sturdy names!

4:24 am

rastapopolous

Yes, that's what's happening. :)

4:25 am

grannyrose

hmmm, good weight. i hope all goes well with that family.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

50+ years ago, when y son was born, my Greek pediatriciansaid "1 pint of Guinness a day" for making milk. I guess that's no lo*er pc, but it worked and he slept through the night at one week

4:26 am

sprite

I hate to think what the french population will do to the name Trevor though. Now that I think of it.

4:26 am

rastapopolous

So far so good. I look around their tiny city apartment though, stuffed with cute little doodads, and think about how they'll be redecorating soon lol

4:26 am

grannyrose

Trevor has some back-up with his birth weight. is this the first for this couple?

4:26 am

sprite

hehehe nice one, ruby! Wish mine had adviced me that. I love guinness.

4:26 am

rastapopolous

Well, it's a family name on our side, but spelled Trever because it was a last name. They discarded that because of "very green"

4:27 am

sprite

hahaha oh yes! A big chest for the doodahs, to be stowed away for many years.

4:27 am

rastapopolous

But liked the other spelling partly because he would Trevor, their little tresor

4:28 am

Buggie

Trevor is a celtic name, and is perfectly acceptable in France

4:28 am

grannyrose

rasta..i bet you have a cheshire cat grin your face...

4:28 am

sprite

ah, smart. And lol @ tresor :)

4:28 am

rastapopolous

I've suggested beer & wine, to relax for the let down if nothing else. Her spouse disapproves....

4:28 am

sprite

hi Buggie! But they would pronounce it Tres Vor, I think?

4:29 am

grannyrose

* giggle * rasta...you provide, let the mother decide.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

the stout really worked! plus more than a quart of milk a day. I could have nursed triplets!

4:29 am

sprite

beer is good advice, rasta. And the most important thing is to relax and have faith... for the mother I mean. She needs to have faith in her ability to nurse and be a mother. And in her baby, to take from her what he needs.

4:30 am

Buggie

yes, no pronunciation difficulties there, it's very easy to pronounce in France. Of course the pronunciation is a little different than in English, but that goes for any name

4:30 am

grannyrose

actually...i didn't need any stimulants. the boobs performed well at each birth.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

and do they pronounce buggie "boogie"?

4:30 am

sprite

once my boobs got going, they were awesome. As soon as I dropped the bra, the milk went everywhere. Straight in the baby's and my eyes too!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

But Sprite knows what I look like, so everybody was surprised

4:31 am

rastapopolous

that was me too lol

4:31 am

rubyfoo

back to my cave

4:31 am

rubyfoo

bye kids

4:32 am

sprite

ruby is a fireplug :) Not so tall and not at all burly.

4:32 am

rastapopolous

bye thanks for letting me brag :)

4:32 am

sprite

bye ruby, all the best, hon.

4:32 am

Buggie

no, the French know how to pronounce buggy as in the vehicle, so buggie is the same (and the double g makes for a hard g in French)

4:32 am

sprite

bye rasta, have a lovely stay and thanks for sharing!

4:32 am

grannyrose

rasta, please keep us in the loop

4:33 am

rubyfoo

funny image, sprite

I had better be going too. Teeth to brush, nerves to hell, dentist's balls to grab

4:34 am

rastapopolous

Yes, granny the first, I see I never answered your question below.

4:34 am

sprite

oh the first is always stressful. Must mean a lot for the mother to have you there!

4:35 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite. WTG SPRITE!!!! just think of me and cobi. and rob is right there for you. xoxoxox

4:35 am

4:40 am

4:40 am

grannyrose

an extra special xoxox to rasta.

4:53 am

MimiCat

Long time, no chat ((rose))!

4:54 am

7:36 am

bichon

Mornin' folks. Snow up your way Trif?

7:36 am

Trifioso

light and fluffy, just to whiten everything bichon - about 2 inches with me, blew it right off the car. Feh

7:37 am

bichon

You're lucky to even find your car.

7:37 am

Trifioso

tonight it will be in the garage, so no worries. I am much more worried about the ice on the roof....getting scary up there

7:38 am

bichon

I hear you Trif

7:39 am

Trifioso

valentine and I are just back from a few days away to visit his mom, and I let him park in the garage while we were gone, as my car was in the commuter lot - we took a shuttle to the airport. Don't know why anyone ever complains about getting to the airport in boston. Shuttle makes it a snap

7:39 am

MollyL

What? You haven't been out clearing off the roof like your sister? : D

7:40 am

Trifioso

I will be later today, molly, believe me! she has one flat portion of roof she can reach. I don't.

7:41 am

bichon

You must have had so many snow days off from school. Did they get rid of April vacation?

7:41 am

MollyL

You all are much braver than I am

7:42 am

Trifioso

not as yet, bichon, as we start before labor day, and thus have plenty of room in our schedule. The town where I live, however, starts after labor day, and they are crunched. Not sure what they are going to do

7:42 am

Trifioso

I think we have missed six full days thus far

7:42 am

Trifioso

bravery has nothing to do with it, molly. This is where we live, and thus such is our lot. Some winters are hard, some aren't.

7:44 am

MollyL

Well, I think it's brave to get up on a ladder in the snow and clear ice and snow off the roof

7:45 am

Trifioso

its necessary. I guess you are right - sometimes the necessary takes bravery

7:45 am

That is good to hear then, Pen.

11:08 am

penquis

i was supposed to go to lunch with bro and nephew, but i opted to stay home and eat leftover chicken chili...

11:09 am

MollyL

It's unfortunate that kids were out in school buses on the highway, in a snow storm

11:10 am

penquis

well it had just started snowing there.....more slippery than they thought, i guess.....schools are closed here....

11:14 am

zoozzoom

Just watched a small youtube video of the aftermath on the Bangordailynews website.

11:15 am

penquis

ah....i saw it on the news at noon....nurse witness said it was amazing no one was killed given the scrunched up vehicles...

11:16 am

they*

11:17 am

lady on the news was in an SUV that got wedged between two tractor trailer trucks....

11:18 am

It must of been a very scary thing to have to go through.

11:18 am

penquis

yes, she was hit from behind by one, spun around 180 degrees and saw another coming at her in the passing lane....she hit reverse and got wedged in between the two trucks.....she's ok....miraculously....

11:19 am

zoozzoom

Wow!

11:19 am

penquis

yes, she stared death in the face and survived!

11:21 am

11:24 am

zoozzoom

What the blue one with half of the car sticking up in the air?

11:24 am

zoozzoom

Oh ok.

11:25 am

11:26 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes I see it. Very luck lady!

11:26 am

penquis

aughh! how can there be ce6 haters, lol?! Chicken broth wouldn't be the same without it, gosh! Carrots, onions, ce6 - it goes into every chicken broth I make. That's the "holy trinity" of cooking... :D

blech

12:43 pm

rbud

of course sometimes I have to fish them back out afterwards, so many touchy eaters around here - if it were just Hubs and I, it would all just stay in there. I often save them to top our two bowls later, the heck with the kids, fussy ones...

12:44 pm

rbud

one hates carrots, one hates onions... how can they be our kids, lol

12:44 pm

phaeton

mushy green things...ugh

12:45 pm

rbud

oh, I don't let them get mushy, I like them just a bit on the firm side, like the carrots. And yummy in stirfry.

I do like peanut butter and honey sandwiches, though, and that's another school lunch memory, so go figure.

12:47 pm

phaeton

that's all one granddaughter would eat...pb and honey

12:49 pm

rbud

you almost have to put pb on both slices of bread, I think, or the honey gets crystal-y in the bread. That's if you're eating it later, like taking it to work for lunch.

12:50 pm

phaeton

can't take pb to school anymore

12:50 pm

rbud

fine cuisine, lol

12:50 pm

rbud

oh, why not?

12:50 pm

phaeton

too many allergies in kids these days

12:50 pm

rbud

oh, that's true, I forget.

12:52 pm

rbud

they sure used to feed us a lot of it in the '60s and '70s, I don't recall how they dealt with allergic kids back then... I wonder if there was an alternative... pimento, maybe? yuck...

12:52 pm

MollyL

It's impossible to plan a kids party these days. Johnny has a peanut allergy, Susie is lactose intolerant, Bobby is gluten free, etc.

12:53 pm

rbud

isn't that the truth, Molly - glad all the local kids were good with cake and ice cream, or my kids would have been deprived.

12:53 pm

phaeton

stop feeding them...give them toys or money

12:53 pm

MollyL

When my kids were in elementary school, the peanut allergy thing was unheard of.

12:54 pm

rbud

"you're invited to a party, BYO food" - lol!

12:54 pm

phaeton

lol

12:54 pm

MollyL

Oh I forgot all the vegans and vegetarians

12:55 pm

MollyL

So you can have a party but no meat, wheat products, peanuts or dairy products. Water and tofu, yummy!

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:55 pm

Jacula

I'd better get a move on with this. I was busy watching 'Wolf Hall' and had forgotten I've still got 60 words to find.

5:55 pm

Douglas

Gandalf said "May your ****** receive you at your journey's end," which is the polite thing to say among eagles.

5:56 pm

Are there very many words which start in one corner, and end in the opposite corner?

5:57 pm

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:08 pm

Jacula
