mkg

i dont see a funny re. let alone re 6

12:31 am

jwr

maybe ru didn't mean funny, just that it needed a sedative

12:33 am

rururocks

nope..it's pretty funny .. at least to me

12:33 am

jwr

oh. now I'll never get it.

12:34 am

rururocks

well.. it's chicken related :D

12:34 am

mkg

not getting these 8s or much else. not even half way

12:34 am

jwr

very serious things, chickens.

12:35 am

mkg

chicken eh??? as in eating them or about them?

12:35 am

jwr

oh good grief. of course

12:35 am

broll

an 7, as 7, pe 7

12:35 am

rururocks

not all chickens are serious, and some chickens are smart.. other chickens are just dumb clucks

12:36 am

mkg

i think you are laughing at the co 4 word. and putting an re before it for a 6.

12:36 am

jwr

and some know what to do with a hammer

12:36 am

mkg

if so i got it.

12:37 am

rururocks

spock is in the grid how fitting since he passed

12:37 am

jwr

ah. he was one of the Good Guys

12:38 am

rururocks

missing one damn r and I can't find it

12:38 am

saanichcat

broll thanks for pe 7

12:38 am

jwr

is it rubricious?

12:38 am

saanichcat

and an 7 too

12:39 am

broll

yw, twice

12:42 am

rururocks

got it.. jeez

12:43 am

jwr

ru, I wish you'd made the connection earlier - I had the fitting Spock quote: I fail to see the humor in that, doctor.

12:43 am

rururocks

ah.. he was a pretty cool guy .. I am glad he had a long life

12:44 am

jwr

congratulations on getting your R, though

12:44 am

saanichcat

LLAP

12:44 am

jwr

he was - and he could act. Reminded me of the talent and style and smarts of Vincent Price.

12:44 am

rururocks

LLAP?

12:45 am

saanichcat

Live long and prosper

12:45 am

rururocks

yes.. I can see the connection

12:45 am

jwr

long l and prosper

12:45 am

rururocks

oh..

12:45 am

rururocks

got it

12:45 am

rururocks

I wasn't too much into star trek except as a little kid

12:46 am

jwr

thanks, I couldn't get it the right way round.

12:47 am

saanichcat

I just finished 2 episodes of Star Trek TNG, on netfix

12:48 am

jwr

Me neither, but by the time The Next Generation came around, I was thoroughly hooked. Got to meet George Takei last June, too. He's a gas - been feuding with the "Captain" for years

12:48 am

rururocks

what are they feuding about?

12:48 am

jwr

are those your first to saan?

12:48 am

jwr

first two

12:49 am

saanichcat

no, third time round. Had them all on tape too, all marked with star dates etc. Yes, I love them

12:50 am

saanichcat

so waht was the feud about?

12:51 am

jwr

Apparently - no, actually. I remember hearing him do it: Shatner during interviews when Trek became famous in reruns really badmouthed the rest of the cast as if they were all no-talent unimportant characters. Shatner has never been a team player

12:51 am

rururocks

oh.. weird

12:51 am

rururocks

I never heard about that

12:51 am

saanichcat

that was unkind of him

12:52 am

rururocks

<--will never use price line then :D

12:52 am

jwr

he underestimated the popularity of ALL the characters - each one had a huge fan base. But Shatner was/is also openly homophobic and made some filthy remarks about Nichelle Nichols as well as Takei - also racist remarks about both.

12:53 am

saanichcat

Demotion and mutiny!

12:53 am

rururocks

sad.. takei seems like a pretty nice guy

12:54 am

jwr

Too late. He's still starring in tv shows.

12:55 am

jwr

meaning: his ego is still being fed so he doesn't find it necessary to back down. and yes, Takei does a lot of charity work besides being nice to fan(atical)s which is hard to do

12:55 am

saanichcat

I always Sahtner rather shallow, even in the Star Series he was boring. Except when the tribbles attacked.

12:57 am

rururocks

he looks like a bloated whale now to me

12:57 am

jwr

The Tribbles have gone into history. I think everyone has seen that episode.

12:57 am

saanichcat

and none of it is brain power

12:57 am

rururocks

I heard on the beach in Hawaii a bunch of people kept trying to push him back in the oc5

12:58 am

jwr

you just made me spill my water - almost cost me a keyboard!

12:58 am

jwr

stop that

12:58 am

rururocks

:D

12:58 am

saanichcat

oooh, that would have been funny, but he would have popped right back up like a co4

12:59 am

rururocks

It's my personal job to crack jokes around here

Blood type: T-negative

1:02 am

jwr

Is that the same as cracking puns?

1:02 am

rururocks

well..sorta.. I tend to go both ways

1:03 am

jwr

Inside every pun is a ___________ waiting to come out.

1:03 am

rururocks

??

1:03 am

jwr

you get to fill in the blank

1:04 am

jwr

It's a MadLib joke

1:04 am

saanichcat

MadLibs are hilarious

1:04 am

jwr

are they still around? how old are we anyway?

1:05 am

saanichcat

I still have a swack of old ones...

1:05 am

jwr

as Emily Litella would say: never miiiind

1:06 am

jwr

swack is a good word to fill the blank

1:07 am

rururocks

di8/50

1:07 am

rururocks

I can't find anything now

1:07 am

jwr

Gotta go to work, guys. It's been fun. Anyone who sees Sprite, give a hug for me. Ru, and saanichat, thanks for the fun (I see ru is already back to work - going, going, sold to the little lady in the back rowwww

1:08 am

rururocks

nighters jwr

1:08 am

saanichcat

bye for now jwr...

1:08 am

rururocks

sorry about the keyboard

1:11 am

jwr

dropped back - a word just came to mind. .... that's okay ru, I missed it this time. Also just noticed that Saan is in the grid too - no doubt chatting with spock. Bye for real.

1:12 am

rururocks

oh cool I didn't see that..

1:12 am

rururocks

we all have to let Saanich finish first then

1:13 am

saanichcat

grannyrose

oh, my darling friend...{{hugs}}

2:57 am

grannyrose

dinner almost ready.......:-(

2:57 am

sprite

hello dear one :D *hugs* Just read about the doc. What a wonderful man and what a blessing.

2:58 am

sprite

dinner ready? That is lovely! Go enjoy it, lol. See you after.

2:58 am

sprite

where is ruru? He is in the grid today.

2:58 am

grannyrose

absolutely. fortunately i had my hands firmly over my mouth otherwise don would have probably punched the docs lights out.

2:59 am

sprite

ugh yes, poor you. But at least the doc took it seriously and will go the whole mile with you

3:00 am

grannyrose

the grid is not as nice as yesterday's. but it is pretty good.

3:01 am

sprite

I had the whole dinner planned out around a request of Caya's... guess what she just told me...

3:01 am

grannyrose

what??

3:02 am

sprite

she is not eating at home tonight

3:02 am

grannyrose

* eyes rolling * yup....and you are surprised because??

3:02 am

sprite

and son will eat home but doesn't know what time, probably very late

3:03 am

grannyrose

i presume the boyo has been introduced to the microwave??

3:03 am

sprite

oh, not surprised. And not minding either, it is ok. Just have to think up a new menu... for only 3 people and something that keeps well and can be microwaved later.

3:04 am

sprite

lol yes he has, and it will all work out. Just lacking inspiration now.

3:04 am

grannyrose

oh the joys of teenagers in the home....col...i am so glad i am that much older than you....

3:05 am

sprite

hahahaha I hear you! Ah well, this too, shall pass. Right?

3:06 am

grannyrose

absolutely, darling. give it about 12 years...you are going to love it.

3:07 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, the timer just beeped...and you know what that means.....bbl

3:07 am

sprite

for real? That long? Come on, Caya is gonna move out in 18 months and Tim in 6 or 7 years...

3:07 am

sprite

enjoy, darling

3:07 am

grannyrose

really, lololol....think again dear.

3:10 am

sprite

ks killed

3:25 am

grannyrose

apricot chicken rice and vegs killed...col...yay sprite, k's were pretty ordinary.

3:25 am

sprite

true. Just spent ages looking for kn words. Ugh.

3:26 am

grannyrose

as did i....

3:28 am

sprite

*grin* So how are you feeling now, rose? Has your body recovered from the examination?

3:30 am

grannyrose

:-( knee has given one twitch...will just have to get through the night somehow.....i am so brave....NOT

3:31 am

sprite

take an endone before bed

3:31 am

sprite

phantom: euphoria

3:32 am

grannyrose

oh, that reminds me....john said a pack of 20 endone over the course of 1 month does not = addiction.

3:32 am

sprite

of course not, darling, I told you the same thing. Your GP is scared shitless that you will develop a dependency, is all

3:33 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know, sweetheart. i am hoping his letter to her will appease her anxiety.

3:34 am

sprite

I hope so too. Do you have endone left? If so, take one before you go to bed. Sleep is what you need to recover from the stress

3:34 am

grannyrose

yeah, i have 6 left of the script from december. and i see gp in 10 days....easy peasy...

3:35 am

sprite

well done. Seriously, well done.

3:35 am

grannyrose

thanx hin

3:37 am

grannyrose

i didn't get to do MY jigsaw as planned this morning. i did lots of other stuff though, and not feeling too bad. tomorrow is a brand new day....

3:37 am

sprite

oh sweetie, it will keep. For as long as you want. The links in jigidi do not expire.

3:40 am

sprite

I think peridark should be a word. Meaning about the time it gets dark.

3:40 am

sprite

or around

3:42 am

sprite

that is a potty break, a squirrel or you taking your endone :)

3:46 am

grannyrose

a potty break...dratted IBS

3:47 am

sprite

ugh ikr... so inconvenient and unpleasant.

3:47 am

grannyrose

lol....dearest...how about peridack....before you get your pants on?

3:49 am

grannyrose

speaking of dacks...going for meds...bbs. xoxox

3:50 am

sprite

lolol nice one too

3:53 am

sprite

hello da8 my old friend... I've come to talk with you again...

3:54 am

grannyrose

yeah, one of my all time fave songs...

3:55 am

sprite

same for me. We learned the whole second voice in singing lesson last year. So beautiful.

3:56 am

grannyrose

oh nice sprite. i bet it lifted your spirits to learn it.

3:56 am

sprite

absolutely. So lovely

3:58 am

grannyrose

i so miss those old singers from my youth. there was so much harmony, and truly good singing.

3:58 am

grannyrose

they understood music in the purest form.

4:00 am

grannyrose

what did you think of our pugs latest email?

4:00 am

sprite

I try to remind myself of how my grandparents only could value classical music, and how they hated simon and garfunkle, and janis ian, and alan parsons project... and how they didn't hear much difference between those and heavy metal, lol. I keep telling myself, it is the same with the modern music. If you are part of it, there are beautiful songs there too. But if you are of another generation... it all sounds like the same mishmesh of noise.

4:02 am

grannyrose

sprite...Caya's songs are so not part of that cacophony of noise they call music today. she is so truly gifted.

4:02 am

sprite

she is, isn't she... I can listen to her sing for hours

4:03 am

grannyrose

sprite, i moved with my sons, through heavy metal to head banging...they all had a sense of harmony....but today???? nope...they are nowhere near it.

4:06 am

sprite

hehehe yeah well, my son is into hardstyle and hardcore. And sometimes he makes me listen to something and after a while, I start to understand where the beauty is. So I think it is the same generation stuff. We are simply too old :D

4:09 am

grannyrose

i hear you....your kids are the next ones after mine. so i appreciate what you and Rob like.....

4:09 am

grannyrose

and yet???

4:09 am

sprite

hehehe exactly :D

4:10 am

sprite

fireflies

4:10 am

grannyrose

i could not find another person the whole world over who knows/understands me as you do. xoxox

4:10 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!!

4:10 am

sprite

*hugs rose* what can I say? Soul sisters... no explanation needed between us.

4:11 am

grannyrose

bless you my darling

4:11 am

sprite

and bless you right back

4:11 am

sprite

have you taken your meds/ endone?

4:12 am

grannyrose

have taken meds. endone beside the bed.

4:12 am

sprite

well done. *hugs* to you then, and make sure you sleep well, darling. Things will feel better in the morning, I hope.

4:13 am

grannyrose

xoxox. hope your day is nice to you, sprite.

4:14 am

sprite

pfff yeah me too. Lots to do. And a new menu to think up. Guess that should be the first thing :D

4:14 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. you can do it....

4:15 am

grannyrose

tomorrow...all i have to do is clean the manary cage, and clean the front bathroom.

4:16 am

grannyrose

oh...and the crossword...so sad...too bad.

5:17 am

crosshair

((rose)) howdy sukee

5:17 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy

5:17 am

crosshair

Interesting an7/32 word today. Has to do with a barometer

5:17 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

5:17 am

sukee

I finally got up before 6 AM :)

5:18 am

grannyrose

yay you crossy. nice find.

5:18 am

grannyrose

crossy. i had my new pain doc today. i am gonna love him. he was so lovely.

5:20 am

crosshair

I am glad for you, rose. I hole the two of you together can create a lifestyle plan that eases your daily pains , and allows you to live your life to the fullest once more.

5:20 am

grannyrose

so long as he doesn't have a syringe and needle in his hand. he injected that nerve....i cried, and had both hands over my mouth so as not to scream too loudly.

5:20 am

crosshair

hope*

5:20 am

crosshair

I cannot type this morning lol

5:22 am

grannyrose

he wants to admit me as a day patient...and hopefully get the pain under control in 10 hours...if not...i have to be admitted to hospital for 5 days...

5:23 am

grannyrose

don was in the waiting area...i am so glad he did not hear me. doc john, who knows me well, was so sorry, and hugged me several times.

5:24 am

sukee

well, I hope it works out.

5:24 am

grannyrose

doc john has NEVER seen a nerve so mangled and sensitive.

5:24 am

grannyrose

sukee....so do i sweetie.

5:27 am

sukee

I wake up with the normal aches and pains and the cold hurts at times but I can't imagine that kind of pain. I thought the worst pain I ever felt was when I broke my fibula.

5:29 am

grannyrose

sukee, i have been through both. and the nerve pain has to be the worst i have EVER experienced.

5:29 am

crosshair

Where is this particular nerve, Rose?

5:31 am

grannyrose

sukee and crossy...i really do thank the dear God above for this doctor....he(the doc) knew exactly what i was going through.

5:31 am

crosshair

Is it one that can be intentionally be put out of commission like they do with amputee patients?

5:31 am

grannyrose

crossy, it is the intra-saphenous nerve

5:32 am

crosshair

so, lower limb mid-thigh

5:32 am

grannyrose

crossy. i imagine it is the same nerve.

5:32 am

crosshair

:(

5:33 am

crosshair

poor rose:(

5:33 am

grannyrose

yup, crossy. that is the one.

5:35 am

grannyrose

and now...my friends...i need to bid you all a fond farewell....xoxox

5:35 am

sukee

Yikes, some guy tried to walk across a lake in Ontario, The coast guard found him halfway.

5:35 am

sukee

You take care Rose.

5:37 am

sukee

I can't believe there are 8 K words, so far I have found one.

5:38 am

sukee

Make that 2.

5:45 am

crosshair

Well at least with the heavy coverage we have this year you CAN walk across, as long a you are prepared.

5:45 am

sukee

Yes, except he wasn't they said :) I guess it's illegal to walk across a lake :)

5:46 am

godthaab

I hate it when they rescue people from their own stupidity.

5:46 am

crosshair

hey just do not care for people being stupid and killing themselves off in the process

5:47 am

crosshair

Some areas have started to charge people for the cost of the rescue if there are idiot factors at play

5:47 am

sukee

doper

5:47 am

sukee

sorry :)

5:48 am

crosshair

Seems an average full-tilt rescue from a mountain for example can cost as much as $10,000.00 in manpower and rescue equipment.

5:48 am

sukee

That was not a statement about the guy :)

5:48 am

sukee

Most of the ski patrol guys don't want people to be charged though.

5:50 am

sukee

Have you heard about the freezing hair contest in Whitehorse?

5:50 am

crosshair

well, depending on the ski hill, i imagine that can get expensive as well. i hate those who intentionally ski out-of-bounds

5:51 am

crosshair

They come from the city after watching too many of those warn Miller deep powder videos and before you know it the hunt is on.

5:52 am

sukee

I tried skiing once, did not do so well :)

5:52 am

crosshair

We had a judge get run over by the grooming equipment here a few years ago after she strayed out of bounds

5:53 am

crosshair

Not a good way to go:(

5:53 am

sukee

No.

5:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

As it should be, Spock is in the grid.

5:53 am

sukee

:)

5:53 am

sukee

LLAP.

5:54 am

crosshair

very appropriate indeed:)

5:54 am

sukee

TY, that helped me find another similar word :)

5:55 am

crosshair

spork should be a word by now.

5:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'll put one foot in the PB

5:55 am

sukee

I agree.

5:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

So is copek/

5:56 am

sukee

Sci fi is covered today.

5:57 am

sukee

So are a couple from Three's Company.

5:57 am

crosshair

lol. I do not need to go to Whitehorse for a freezing hair contest. I can get that right here. Plus, we have a polar bear dip for charity set up for this month.

5:57 am

Are you doing it?

sukee

I couldn't even do the ice bucket challenge myself.

5:58 am

crosshair

I did it last year, but I am not sure this year. Conditions are fantastic though. We have 5 feet of solid ice on the bay in most areas now

5:59 am

crosshair

I am getting older and it is a bit of a jolt to the system

6:03 am

crosshair

Standing on the ice and looking down into that trench. The water even looks cold. It has this blue/black appearance, and if the air is cold enough it steams in the morning light. There you are in your robe and slippers wearing nothing but your swimming trunks and a housecoat and it is minus 25 out. You work up the courage, slip the robe off onto the ice and feel the air cutting at your skin-- take a deep breath and jump into the cold, dark water. brr

6:09 am

crosshair

You hit the water and it feels like a thousand burning hot needles are piercing your skin. Your heart lurches in your chest like a galloping horse suddenly tripping over uneven ground. You gasp at the intensity of it all, and fight to take the next breath. You smile for the cameras and grab a bit of floating ice and smile and pretend it is a bar of soap for a moment. Now you cannot get out of there fast enough as willing hands reach down to help you escape the deadly cold. You are pulled up like a hooked fish, and tossed into a warming hut. And that is a polar bear dip:)

lol. I better get a tea..brb

Great description :)

Re: My vulnerable sector check with the police for my position as volunteer at the school. The officer warned me that the system they use for background checks often gives "false positives" on males in the 30-60 age bracket because it uses key words. I may have to be fingerprinted as well to tighten the search and get a pass. In reality, I should be protected from some of these kids. They have done more time and been in more trouble with the law than I ever was in my youth.

6:30 am

sukee

Wow, they have gotten serious :) I had a police check once when I volunteered for Special Olympics, but the police were there I didn't have to go to them.

6:30 am

crosshair

Well, since I am working with "innocent tender lambs" I must get full clearance. lol

6:31 am

sukee

lol

6:32 am

crosshair

8 out of ten of them stinking to high heaven of weed--even by 9 a.m

6:33 am

sukee

And why do you want to volunteer?

6:34 am

crosshair

I do it for those few that can be saved. There are a few that show a spark that you want to cultivate and fan until it becomes a self-supporting blaze. The satisfaction comes in saving those who can achieve more in life.

6:35 am

sukee

That is good.

6:35 am

crosshair

When you see them suddenly "get it" there is nothing finer. You feel that perhaps--just perhaps the effort has been worth it.

6:36 am

Well, let's hope you can reach a few.

did that blow the chog width? all apologies if so

6:54 am

Trifioso

oh dear

6:55 am

crosshair

unfortunately, even though it was one character shy of "blowing the chog" it adds extra n,s making the link unusable. I tiny url everything for this new babble server now

jeopardy had a category of "new scrabble words" recently - things like "chillax" and "edemame" -- wonder when those will reach enable?

6:57 am

I think enable is locked forever in time.

6:58 am

I definitely remember some members here speaking of a time when the enable dictionary was updated...apparently all hell broke loose, for a time

I love the library, but it also breaks my heart. Ours was originally housed in one of the old "Carnagie" libraries, so many of the hardcovers that are on the shelves to this day will often date back to the turn of the century or in some cases earlier. For example, I have a hardcover copy of Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad, and it is a gorgeous book dating from a 1920 printing. However, it is covered with 90 years of card pockets and inked library stamps on the front and endpages;(

Our original building caught fire in 1918 or so, and although many books were saved, the building, sadly, was lost. So the name does not come up that often anymore.

Good! Working way too hard and so no social life to speak of, nor exercise, nor healthy diet. Sigh. But I do love my job, and I'm not totally hopeless in the rest of my life, so all is well.

How about you?

Just amazing! We had snow in London, so snow's not that weird to me, but that harbour! Still I prefer no snow or ice, like here!

5:54 pm

Not disagreeing you you, given those choices.

7:27 pm

phandmd

how is everyone?

7:27 pm

hi phan, I am fine. sorry about your crappy day. was it the mother and daughter again?

hi peri!

7:30 pm

phandmd

As a matter of fact it was, that and one of our special resident's passed away today, not unexpected, but very quick decline.

On a positive note, I will never have to care for those women again.

7:31 pm

periwinkle

sorry about the death of a special resident. but so glad you will not have to care for those women again. were they discharged?

7:32 pm

phandmd

no they weren't. But they are to "dangerous" for me to take care of. They could potentially make a false accusations against me. Not worth the stress!

7:33 pm

penquis

glad to hear that you won't have to deal with them again...

7:33 pm

periwinkle

oh, definitely not worth the stress.

7:34 pm

phandmd

me too. But I also feel as if I failed, I couldn't make it work. But I don't have control over others behavior, only mine.

7:34 pm

phandmd

and I did my best to make it work.

7:34 pm

periwinkle

you did the best you could, phan

7:37 pm

phandmd

I really did. And I don't deserve being called a Bitch. And they definitely alluded to potential allegations they could make.

7:38 pm

periwinkle

were they transferred to another floor. or were you given other responsiblities.

7:41 pm

phandmd

No, When I work that hallway, as I will on Sunday, I will have to ask one of the other nurses to take them, and I will have to take one of the other nurse's rooms.

7:45 pm

periwinkle

oh, hopefully you will not cross paths with them ever again

7:45 pm

phandmd

well, I will see them, but I wont have to care for them, unless of course there is a code blue...

7:46 pm

periwinkle

and then you can walk very, very slowly to their room

7:46 pm

8:14 pm

there is a word in the grid that starts with pr and has seven letters....

8:15 pm

penquis

the link under the grid called "Lickety" gives you a list of the first two letters of every word in the grid...

8:16 pm

Chica15

thx, that helps alot

8:16 pm

penquis

what's nice here -- if your computer accepts cookies -- is that you can come and go all day and the page saves the list of words you have found....new puzzle every day...

8:17 pm

penquis

if you pay a one time fee ($15, i think), you also get the tile stats that tell you how many words begin with each letter and how many of those you have found...

8:17 pm

Chica15

yes, i've been coming in and out all day

8:17 pm

penquis

you also get the word stats that tell you how many 4, 5, 6, etc. words that are in the grid...

8:17 pm

penquis

you also get the word stats that tell you how many 4, 5, 6, etc. words that are in the grid...

8:18 pm

Chica15

I didn't pay for it, but I do have that feature

8:18 pm

Chica15

i wonder how i ended up with it?

8:18 pm

penquis

not sure....it's been several years since i signed up.....

8:19 pm

penquis

do you have the tile stats and the word stats?

8:19 pm

Dorens

You get it for free the first two weeks or so.

8:19 pm

Dorens

ok. so old friend from long ago. I told you I spent a summer in Berkeley in 1964, yes? So Ed did too and we were friends. Haven't seen him in years, but he's a NYC Chinese food maven... another old friend contacted me and I mentioned that I'd read about him in the Times, so she called him and he was thrilled to treat us to lunch. He ordered half the menu and I didn't even think about eating dinner.

8:53 pm

periwinkle

wow, what a nice treat, Doren

8:53 pm
