4:16 am

jwr

4:16 am

zoozzoom

LOL

4:16 am

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Bopping to music and babbling.I am impressed!

4:18 am

jwr

wrong station: News Quiz Extra - laughing my head off

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Ah I see.

4:19 am

jwr

English politics is much funnier than american

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Not sure if I could get that here in the UK unless it is also an online radio station.

4:20 am

jwr

BBC, m'dear

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is rather a joke I must say..lol

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Is it cool..let me take a look.

4:20 am

jwr

It is online.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Ah on radio 4.

4:23 am

jwr

Oh, I see what you were looking at. That's the program that's on live - I go by the weekly schedule and listen to what I want whenever.

4:25 am

jwr

hey, I thought you were doing chores, hmmm?

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Ah thank you..I thought i was going mad..must admit I am rather liking this. Glad you mentioned it.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Oh not glad you mentioned the chores though :(

4:27 am

jwr

Here it is: http://tinyurl.com/pguh8ex

4:31 am

zoozzoom

You are right. I will listen to this and do the chores. Babble will have to wait for a while.

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Thank you. got that up now :-)

4:32 am

jwr

Me too. I can listen while I work though. (wasn't that a Disney song? no, that was whistle. well, I can do that too)

4:32 am

jwr

Talk to you later zooz - happy day....

4:34 am

jwr

Most of the programs are up for three or four weeks - so you can go in and listen at any time. Last week's schedule would still be good. Okay. poof

5:42 am

crosshair

good morning everybody:)

5:44 am

crosshair

I see the brits blew up the chat:)

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy! I have been alone for 30 minutes.

5:45 am

crosshair

Howdy scrabby:))

5:47 am

crosshair

it often happen that way at this time, scrabby; the aussies are getting ready for bed, the Brits are off for a mid-day meal and 90% of North Am,erica is not up yet:)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Usually Rose and Sprite are here now, and sometimes Ruby.

5:47 am

crosshair

And I can see that the keyboard is still my nemesis:/

5:48 am

Scrabbler

I can translate typos.

5:48 am

crosshair

Yes, rosie and Sprite are usually here:(

5:48 am

mattygroves

I'm here, but only in spirit ...

5:48 am

crosshair

Howdy, Matty

5:48 am

Scrabbler

No, I really do see you, Matty. How are you?

5:49 am

mattygroves

Meh - at home as I'm being made redundant (laid off) - I have three months' notice though but I think they're putting me on gardening leave (paying me not to work)

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Hm, being paid to not work sounds ok for a bit. But why?

5:50 am

crosshair

I know the feeling, Matty. I was made redundant at my last place of employment almost two hears ago. that was the reason for me going back to school and upgrading. I am just getting back in the work force now (I hope)

5:51 am

mattygroves

The company lost a bunch of clients, and those left don't want to pay for an email marketing expert (I work for an Agency)

5:51 am

crosshair

years*

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Are you job-searching, Crossy?

5:51 am

mattygroves

While I have your attention, may I have a wee nudge for the sa6/18 - I'm sure it's staring me in the face...

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, rain just starting pouring. It is so loud on my metal roof!

5:52 am

crosshair

I have been ever since I received enough credits to get my diploma this just. had an interview yesterday and the decision is pending

5:52 am

crosshair

this June*

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Shiny fabric, Matty.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Crossy!

5:53 am

crosshair

Found myself in the doldrums, so why not add some more education eh? lol

5:54 am

mattygroves

Cheers!

mattygroves

Laundry now calls - bbs

5:58 am

crosshair

Please, do not mention laundry. We have two piles; a dirty pile that may have become sentient over time, and a clean pile that most certainly has:(

6:04 am

sukee

Hi thee. The chog seem a bit stretched :) And, I agree with laundry.

6:05 am

crosshair

Howdy, Sukee. The chog was blown out a bit ago by a over-long URL. It will be all better once that post clears the chog

6:05 am

sukee

I meant to do laundry this morning but didn't get up early enough.

6:06 am

crosshair

Was blown out at 04:28 BT (Babble time) and will clear very soon:))

6:06 am

sukee

So, we should chat more.

6:06 am

crosshair

When they come out with single-wear recyclable clothes i shall be first in line:)

6:07 am

crosshair

6 more posts and it will clear

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Hi sukee

6:07 am

sukee

I'll be right behind you. We need a machine that creates clothes as you need them, like Star Trek.

6:07 am

crosshair

4

6:07 am

sukee

Hi scrab

6:07 am

crosshair

3

6:08 am

crosshair

should be clear now, i think

6:08 am

Scrabbler

It is fixed for me now.

6:08 am

sukee

And it's fixed.

6:09 am

sukee

The dreaded S word in in our forecast.

6:09 am

crosshair

never-mind that. I just want one of those food replicators; soylent green goes in the back, and any food you want comes out the front:))

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Same here.

6:09 am

sukee

Food replicators would be good.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

72 left. I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:10 am

sukee

Take care.

6:10 am

crosshair

tc , scrabby

6:17 am

mattygroves

One left - et6/27...?

6:17 am

crosshair

problem with food replicators is that i think in our market you would end up with "tiered replicators" ; The basic model would pump out meatloaf, Kraft dinner, ramen noodles, and Kool-aid, while the higher tiers would dispense steak, seafood, and fine wines:/

6:18 am

sukee

And of course, there would be a vegan one.

6:19 am

mattygroves

Can anyone give me a nudge on my final word so I can go to the supermarket to get toilet roll and tinned tomatoes and garlic?

6:19 am

sukee

Sorry, I don't have it.

6:20 am

JBV

et6/27 - linguistic term for a root word

6:21 am

JBV

hi folks

6:22 am

sukee

Hi JBV

6:24 am

crosshair

mm, a vegan replicator cannot use Soylent green:(

6:24 am

sukee

Got it, ty JBV

6:25 am

sukee

With help from more words.

6:25 am

mattygroves

Thank you - all done!

6:26 am

crosshair

Yaa for Matty!

6:27 am

crosshair

a vegan replicator would have to be tofu based:(

6:33 am

crosshair

Wonder how many vegans know that during pollination the fig tree 'eats' the male fig wasp after he copulates with the fig wasp female, thus making figs non-vegan? lol that can stand as my tidbit for the day:))

6:33 am

sukee

But only non-GMO :)

6:34 am

sukee

I know, all food basically is thankful for animals.

6:35 am

crosshair

lol, Well with GMO or "frankenfruit" as i like to call it, all bets are off!

6:36 am

crosshair

They are starting production now of that apple that does not go dark when you cut it.

6:36 am

crosshair

frankenfruit indeed

6:38 am

crosshair

http://tinyurl.com/m6trhxv

6:38 am

sukee

Yes, have been hearing about it.

6:38 am

crosshair

lol its nickname is the "Botox Apple"

6:39 am

sukee

The Google doodle is cute today.

6:39 am

crosshair

yes, over 80 years hunting Nessie

6:39 am

sukee

She sure knows how to hide :)

6:40 am

crosshair

I think Mr Cousteau looked for Nessie as well.

6:43 am

crosshair

I used to love that show.

6:43 am

Trifioso

good morning friends!

6:43 am

sukee

Me too.

6:43 am

sukee

Hi Trif.

6:44 am

Trifioso

hoping for a better babble today - yesterday the lag was hideous

6:44 am

crosshair

In the end Jacques family were squabbling over the Calypso. Was not a good ending or a proper way to honor his legacy:(

6:44 am

crosshair

Howdy, trif

6:45 am

MollyL

*Big eye innocent look* Trif, I just want you to know that I'm sleeping over at a friend's house tonight

6:45 am

sukee

Yes, family ruins it all. Kids should not expect anything from their parents after they die, solves a lot more problems.

6:45 am

Trifioso

oh ha ha molly....

6:45 am

Trifioso

I will die in peace, knowing my children won't be squabbling over anything, as we barely HAVE anything.

6:46 am

crosshair

it would indeed, Sukee

6:46 am

Trifioso

so that's a plus

6:46 am

MollyL

How is the little detainee doing?

6:46 am

sukee

I basically got nothing from my parents and I'm fine.

6:46 am

crosshair

parents would be better using it all up before they pass or leaving it all to a charity

6:47 am

Trifioso

she has an absolutely terrible cold. And I feel no pity for her

6:47 am

sukee

I agree.

6:47 am

crosshair

We went through living hell for 2 years as executors to my beloveds mothers estate

6:47 am

MollyL

The age old sleepover swap. I think almost every teenager has tried it.

6:47 am

Trifioso

indeed

6:48 am

Trifioso

that happened in my stepmothers family, as her mother left no will - worst.

6:49 am

sukee

A friend is having a bit of trouble with her mother's will due to just one child. But, he wanted his share even before she died when she was in a home.

6:49 am

Trifioso

ah, the prodigal son....

6:50 am

Trifioso

dame judi is in the grid today! LOVE her!

6:50 am

sukee

Yes, and I tried to see if they accepted it in case it means something else :)

6:52 am

Trifioso

me too sukee! I have a tendency to try that - once I find a word, I try it with all the surrounding letters too - say, toot, root, coot, soot, etc.

6:53 am

sukee

I do that as well.

6:54 am

Trifioso

I have babblenoia - I always feel that if people could see the nonsense I try to monkey, I would be sent to the PB on a permanent basis. Nice to know others try stuff like that as well

6:55 am

sukee

I am totally lost on the Z words.

6:56 am

MollyL

That's because they are zl words

6:56 am

Trifioso

I have one - A unit of money, I believe

6:56 am

rururocks

Toot, root, and and soot sounds like an old person's problem.

6:56 am

sukee

ick.

6:56 am

Trifioso

im lost on the lone t.

6:56 am

MollyL

And coot

6:56 am

Trifioso

haha ruru

6:57 am

rururocks

Hence the coot

6:58 am

sukee

Ah, got them. The second ends with the high score tile

6:58 am

Trifioso

may I please have the count for the lone t please?

6:58 am

sukee

I don't have that T either.

6:58 am

crosshair

Off to class. tc all, and happy babbling!

6:58 am

sukee

See you crossy.

6:59 am

Trifioso

bye crossy!

6:59 am

rururocks

Maybe it is just me..but when i say gullible slowly it sounds more like apple... :D

7:00 am

Trifioso

nice try, pally

7:01 am

Trifioso

found the lone t! how ironic....7.28, and has to do with what we were JUST discussing

7:02 am

rururocks

You willed it to happen trif

7:02 am

Trifioso

nbt pour moi

7:03 am

sukee

What does it start with?

7:03 am

Trifioso

te

7:03 am

Trifioso

indeed, ruru

7:03 am

sukee

TY

7:03 am

MollyL

It starts with a T

7:03 am

rururocks

It's your inherit ability

7:03 am

Trifioso

I bequeath it to you all now

7:03 am

sukee

Yes, I was asking what the first 2 letters were miss smarty pants.

7:03 am

Trifioso

its my living will that you find it

7:04 am

Trifioso

how blessed molly is, to be wise in both mind AND behind!

7:04 am

rururocks

I trust i will

7:04 am

rururocks

I love smart asses

7:05 am

sukee

Got it, ty for the help.

7:06 am

sukee

I am going to dig something up for breakfast. Out of most things, groceries are coming today.

7:06 am

MollyL

I'd rather be a smart ass than a dumb ass

7:07 am

MollyL

Wow, you get your groceries delivered?

7:07 am

Trifioso

I have one n left, and I am THRASHING to find it, entering absolute fluff. panic sets in

7:07 am

sukee

Yes.

7:08 am

rururocks

I knew you'd put a hole in my theory molly . ðŸ˜€

7:08 am

Trifioso

do they do a good job picking out produce, sukee? I have some friends who use Pea Pod, and they have had problems with that factor, but love the rest of it

7:08 am

sukee

They are actually quite good at that.

7:09 am

Trifioso

good to hear!

7:09 am

sukee

The bananas are always not quite ripe which is perfect. And the brussels sprouts are always fresh :)

7:09 am

Trifioso

what a lovely thing, that that is available. it helps so many people

7:10 am

sukee

It does and since I don't drive the cost I pay for delivery is actually cheaper than a cab.

7:10 am

MollyL

I love fresh brussels sprouts, but they are usually sky high in price

7:10 am

sukee

And the guys will put the groceries where you want them.

7:10 am

Trifioso

do you get the same person delivering every time?

7:11 am

sukee

No, there are about 3 different guys. Depending on the day and time.

7:11 am

sukee

But, you do get to know them. One guy and I had a nice chat about Doctor Who once :)

7:11 am

Trifioso

but still, you get to know them, can say hi and all - sounds very nice

7:11 am

bichon

Brussel Sprouts are one of the very few veggies I don't care for. Avocados are another

7:11 am

MollyL

It is a good option for people who don't drive

7:11 am

sukee

I love brussels sprouts.

7:12 am

Trifioso

indeed, molly - and new moms!!!!

7:12 am

sukee

And since I have mobility issues it makes it easy to get the heavy stuff.

7:12 am

MollyL

I like guacamole, but other than that, you can keep avacados

7:12 am

Trifioso

ugh, avacados are elizabeth repellent.

7:13 am

sukee

I love avocado, but I have to admit I usually have it in guacamole.

7:13 am

sukee

Anyway, I have to go get something to eat.

7:13 am

bichon

There's something about the consistancy and fattiness of avocados I don't care for

7:14 am

MollyL

It seems like all the sandwiches at the "trendy" restaurants around here have avocado on them. Blech.

I am deathly allergic to mangos, of all things, and for a while there they were au courant, and in EVERYTHING - yeah, that was fun

7:15 am

MollyL

It's sad that once the "food people" get their teeth into something, it becomes rampant. Kale, quinoa, etc.

7:15 am

bichon

My husband cannot touch the peel of mangos. They are related to turpentine

7:16 am

Trifioso

im trying like hell to like quinoa....uphill battle

7:16 am

bichon

Yes, quinoa prices are sky high

7:16 am

bichon

I love talking about food

7:17 am

Trifioso

I am all about different kinds of rice these days - colors, types, ets.

7:17 am

Trifioso

etc.

7:17 am

bichon

I eat quinoa as it isn't a carb and I am diabetic

7:17 am

bichon

I've grown fond of brown rice as it isn't a simple carb

7:18 am

bichon

and lentils come in more colors too

7:18 am

Trifioso

I am grid locked. can't find a damn thing

7:18 am

Trifioso

love me some lentils!

7:18 am

bichon

true Trif

7:19 am

bichon

I like the Madras Lentils that I get at Costco. Perfect lunch

7:20 am

MollyL

Bich, isn't it hard to shop at Costco for just two people?

7:21 am

bichon

Not really. We can actually store things in our basement for most of the year. I don't get huge cans of things, but there is enough to buy there that it's worthwhile. Their meat, fish and produce is very good quality

7:23 am

Trifioso

valentine and I were just having this discussion! the two wholesale clubs here are Costco or bjs. the bjs is nearer, but not as nice as Costco. but the Costco is 35 minutes away, and a tricky business to get to, so we would probably not go much. is it worth it to join either?

7:23 am

bichon

During an extended freez this winter I was able to keep meat frozen in the garage [yes, sounds gross]

7:24 am

Trifioso

doesn't sound gross to me, bichon - very new England-y

7:24 am

Trifioso

keeping it in snow piles also works

7:24 am

MollyL

It depends on your amount of storage space and your food budget. If you can afford to buy in large quantities and freeze or store, than it's probably worth it.

7:24 am

bichon

Trif, I actually belong to both. The BJ's is closer and on the way home from my daughter's house. But Costco's has such great meat and produce

7:25 am

MollyL

I don't know about BJ's, but Costco is always crowded. Another down side for me.

7:26 am

bichon

I grew up loving fresh produce. My father worked part time at a produce store owned by family. He always brought home the best stuff

7:26 am

bichon

I shop there in the mornings [perk of being retired]

7:27 am

MollyL

I like fresh produce too. I buy very little canned or frozen.

7:27 am

MollyL

And I really miss the family owned grocery stores.

7:27 am

bichon

When I lived in Israel, the produce was always fresh and superb.

7:28 am

Trifioso

I find that it really depends on what I am shopping for - certain items are CHEAP at bjs and I can save a ton of money, others are just about the same as in the regular store. the bjs near here has very little, if any, organic produce, so that's a bummer. do I save the $30 a year the membership costs? that's the big questions.

7:29 am

bichon

The membership at BJ's and Costco is $55. But I feel I'm there more for the quality

7:29 am

MollyL

Over time, you probably would save the membership fee if you shop there enough. Make sure their payment options are something you like. Some of those places only take one kind of credit card, and no debit cards.

7:30 am

Trifioso

agreed molly. the one really nice thing about bjs is they take manufacturers AND bjs coupons

7:31 am

bichon

Costco only takes Am Ex [that is coing to change] But, BJ's is more flexible. Also the gas is cheaper there [about 10 cents less a gallon]

7:31 am

MollyL

I've given up on coupons. I don't get the newspaper anymore and I refuse to download the coupon printer that most sites require for getting their coupons.

7:31 am

Trifioso

I don't think my bjs has gas

7:31 am

Trifioso

Im not one of those coupon queens you see on tv, but I do like them

7:32 am

bichon

Both have gas and some BJ's and Costcos have liquor stores. Costco's pharmacies are tons cheaper, as well as optical departments

7:33 am

MollyL

Wegman's is our best grocery chain for meat and produce. It's not that close, so I go there once a month.

7:33 am

bichon

We don't have Wegmans here

7:34 am

MollyL

They are only in a few states so far.

gm, help with the lo6/18 plz?

7:35 am

MollyL

No liquor in our Costco. You can only get liquor in State run liquor stores here.

7:35 am

bichon

Our city has very few shopping opportunities. You have to drive out of town for anything other that a couple of grocery stores

7:35 am

no liquor for us either, which mostly bums me out at trader joes, as I hear their wine is quite good

7:37 am

bichon

MA only has state run stores too? Didn't know that

7:37 am

MollyL

I am blessed that 4 grocery stores in my state are allowed beer and wine licenses and I live five minutes from one of them.

zooz - I am having lunch today with a lovely bunch of women, ALL of whom are from the UK. valetnines landlord's girlfriend recently moved here from Scotland, and is having a bit of a hard time finding her feet. I have assembled all the ex-pats I know, and they are giving her a "crash course on life in Massachusetts"

7:39 am

Trifioso

I am not sure of all the particulars on that topic, bichon, as some stores DO sell liquor (like the grocery store in Abington) and some don't. there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, actually.

7:39 am

7:40 am

Trifioso

I really do too zooz. she is such a nice woman, but its' a lonely go for her here, as she does not always have a car

7:40 am

Trifioso

I like traders joes, but you can't buy everything there, so I can't do all my shopping there

7:41 am

MollyL

That is the other thing Trif. I'm really not one to flit from grocery store to grocery store.

7:42 am

bichon

I shop at one supermarket as it's the only place I've found that has great sugar snap peas

7:43 am

MollyL

I love fresh snap peas, but they are usually pretty expensive. I tried growing them, but had no luck.

7:43 am

josephjames

Ce7 silver: because you're over 50 and you're out there swinging...

7:44 am

bichon

Peas are difficult to grow. You have to plant them really early [like Mid March] and the soil is still very wet

7:44 am

MimiCat

I love the fact that Safeway DELIVERS groceries including alcohol right to my door, they bring them up the stairs and into my kitchen for $6.95 and no tipping allowed. Just go online and "shop" per aisle category and order. Since I can't even leave this apt. right now, it's really a blessing. I've actually been using them for several years and it's especially convenient in the hot summer as I don't have to get in and out of a hot car and try to get frozen stuff home before it melts. Their truck are quipped with both freezers and refrigerators.

7:44 am

bichon

Stop and Shop delivers as Pea Pod

7:45 am

bichon

hint for the te 7/28, pls

7:45 am

MimiCat

I don't know all the places Safeway delivers but you could go online and Google it to find out.

7:45 am

MollyL

No alcohol delivery around here. My husband was from Canada and used to joke that the alcoholism rate is higher there because you can have the stuff delivered to your door. : D

7:45 am

bichon

We don't have Safeway on the East Coast

7:46 am

MollyL

The te7 is a will related word. As in what you leave in your will.

7:46 am

bichon

You can order alcohol on line

7:46 am

MollyL

I'm on the East Coast and we have Safeway here.

7:47 am

bichon

Really? Stop and Shop is the dominant Supermarket here in New England. Don't think Safeway would want the competition

7:47 am

MollyL

Yeah, but on line delivery doesn't show up in an hour.

7:47 am

bichon

ty Molly for the te

7:47 am

MimiCat

Since I live upstairs in my bldg., it's great that they bring it all up including 20-lb. bags of cat litter.

7:47 am

bichon

LOL Molly

7:48 am

MollyL

Ouch. The poor delivery guys.

7:48 am

MimiCat

The $6.95 I pay is for a 4-hour window of time. They also have 2-hour and 1-hour but you must pay more ($9 and $12).

7:49 am

MimiCat

I always tease my delivery guys that they must have incredible muscles by now!

7:50 am

MollyL

My kids lived in a 4th floor walk up once and my son said that was the hardest move ever and he will never do it again.

7:51 am

MimiCat

Summer is fast approaching here....going to be 92 degrees here today--hate that. This is the Hell of our two seasons (Heaven and Hell). We've been in Heaven and now are going to Hell.

7:52 am

MimiCat

Everyone tells me I should now move to a first-floor apt. but they're all so closed in and upstairs I can see the sky and the beautiful sunsets every day and it just feels more open and less claustrophobic. Plus when my legs are working, I get more exercise going up and down the stairs to do everything.

7:53 am

MimiCat

I also think a woman living alone is a bit safer upstairs.

Hard to type right now...new cat like to get right up under my chin. He's so sweet....can't ever give him too much love! Glad I kept him.

7:59 am

MollyL

Mimi, it must be hard to be house bound. I'm glad you have the delivery service.

8:01 am

MimiCat

And the internet....otherwise, I'd have bad cabin fever! But I have lots to keep me busy and feel lucky I don't have to commute to work because I wouldn't be able to do so. At least since I work at home I can keep my job.

8:03 am

MimiCat

And I have great neighbors as well as my daughter who go get my mail and take out my trash as well as bring me things I need that I can't get from online Safeway. I'm actually very fortunate considering the situation. I think it's important to never lose sight of that. Focusing on what I DO have rather than what I DON'T keeps me in a state of gratitude and positivity no matter what happens. I believe reality is a matter of choice and what you choose to focus on.

8:11 am

MimiCat

Just heard on the news that Netflix just purchased 13 episodes of "Fuller House" which John Stamos is producing. Hmmmm....interesting.

yes, actually I am

10:56 am

well, I have to disappear.. but hopefully be able to play/chat tomorrow.. ciao for now !

10:56 am

If you look at the explanation for the rankings, Who's Hot is based on the last 30 days. So if someone has not played for that long, I would assume they would not be on that list. Might be a question for Montreal, since he manages the rankings.

Anyone still around?

5:14 pm

dianedecoder

Hi Scrabbler.... I just came in to play a few words while supper is cooking!

5:14 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Diane!

5:14 pm

dianedecoder

:-)

5:15 pm

Scrabbler

I worked this morning then napped from 1-4:20! I never nap, unless I am exhausted, which I was.

5:16 pm

dianedecoder

I'm not a midday napper....always found I felt groggy afterward. I'm now changing my ways a little, as I've had a few "afternoon sleeps" lately and they did me good!

5:17 pm

dianedecoder

....must be the second childhood creeping up on me ;-)

5:17 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I am groggy and feel a migraine starting, which often happens if I nap. Grrr.

5:17 pm

Scrabbler

I would like to go back to bed! But it is 6:17 here.

5:18 pm

dianedecoder

soon, soon :-)

5:18 pm

Scrabbler

It is just one of those off days. I had planned to do yard work and walk to the park.

5:19 pm

dianedecoder

I have many aches and often bad pain, but thankfully, I never get headaches. I've had maybe two bad ones in my whole life....so thankful for that.

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

You are so lucky! I have suffered from migraines for 30+ years and average one weekly, sometimes more, but usually not severe.

5:20 pm

dianedecoder

I have several friends who do suffer from migraines. :-(

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

3 left, all Y's

5:24 pm

Scrabbler

Uno

5:24 pm

lynxxx

I have a friend who has also suffered all her life and was under specialist care with not much effect, she recently had botox injections which has reduced the frequency and intensity.

5:24 pm

dianedecoder

I have 25 left, but they will have to wait until after supper.

5:25 pm

Scrabbler

Lynxxx, I have read about Botox for migraines. I have considered seeing a doc for that treatment.

5:25 pm

dianedecoder

Hi lynxxx.... I read about that somewhere, and I think I saw someone on TV speaking about it.

5:25 pm

Scrabbler

My last word = ye4/8. I say ye4/8 to migraines! Ye4, ye4, ye4!

5:26 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Scrabs!

5:27 pm

dianedecoder

Now you can relax until it's time to go to bed, :-)

5:27 pm

dianedecoder

I'll be back later to finish....have fun, everyone !

5:28 pm

lynxxx

bye Di

6:01 pm

crosshair

Reading back; god bless and forever keep the afternoon siesta!

6:02 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy. I guess I was tired as I didn't take a short nap.

6:03 pm

crosshair

I find upto 90 minues is ok; any more that that and my head gets fuzzy and i feel unwell

6:04 pm

crosshair

You were gone for 3.5 hours; that is a night's sleep for me some days:(

6:05 pm

Scrabbler

I am fuzzy and dopey! I will stay up til 8:30 or so and go back to bed. Just an off day.

6:06 pm

crosshair

I am sure tomorrow will be a better day:-)

6:07 pm

crosshair

Crossy sings "the sun will come out tomorrow"....

6:08 pm

Scrabbler

Wednesday and Thursdays are long, intense days in the office. I am brain-dead by Thursday evening.

6:09 pm

crosshair

:(

6:11 pm

crosshair

Im am sue of that. I see many docs bounce non-stop from one staging room to the other. It must wear you down.

6:13 pm

crosshair

At pricess margerette in Toronto, my doc had 6!! Paitent rooms on the go t once. I got tired just watching!

6:14 pm

crosshair

Read through typos please

6:14 pm

Scrabbler

It is so overstimulating--see a patient every 15 -30 minutes, do everything on the computer, move, move, move, and don't get too far behind, field questions from the nurses, phone calls, refill rx's, ...

6:16 pm

crosshair

Our family doc takes up to 2 weeks to refill narcotic based meds. I haved learned to put in scrip way in advance

6:19 pm

Scrabbler

Everything on the computer takes time--click, click, check this box, check that box, etc.

6:20 pm

crosshair

I joke with him that it is a good thing that it is not heart meds that i am waiting for....

6:21 pm

crosshair

Iwould be one dead crossy

6:23 pm

crosshair

But saying all that, i waited for nothing during all my cancer treatments an appts. I got "sudden service" :-)

6:25 pm

crosshair

Ten years clean this sept from my first cancer btw:-)

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

Yay! You are very fortunate!

6:32 pm

crosshair

Indeed; this is my new life:-)

6:35 pm

Scrabbler

See you in the morning. Sleep well.

6:35 pm

crosshair

Tc, scrabby

7:22 pm

crosshair

lol, minus 4C tomorrow for a high. Winter is having one last kick at us it appears:/

7:38 pm

rururocks

it's really cold here too

7:39 pm

rururocks

must be at least 66F

7:39 pm

crosshair

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! before I head off for the night I wish to share with you some interesting info provided by Huffington Post on book vending machines and their history. I found it informative, and wonder about the viability of it all. I am sure that many would agree here on Babble that there is nothing finer than whiling away an hour or two in your favorite used book store searching for your next read. This is all part of the reading experience, and for me, is as comfortable as a favorite pair of slippers or that perfect reading chair in a quiet corner on a rainy Sunday afternoon. A machine, while handy would take away from the overall experience of buying a printed novel. http://tinyurl.com/mjdx426

7:39 pm

crosshair

lol@ 66f being "cold"

7:42 pm

rururocks

I had to put long pants on today :D

7:43 pm

crosshair

But then again my brother lives in vegas and he says his blood has gotten as thin as tap water from dealing with the heat there in the summer.

7:43 pm

crosshair

Gasp!! no!! LONG PANTS??! My god, how do you survive?? :))

7:44 pm

rururocks

I don't know.. but it was very uncomfortable

7:45 pm

rururocks

Las Vegas is a great place to live if you're a baked Potato

7:45 pm

crosshair

year before last my brother came home for Christmas, and we were ready for him. it was minus 42C in north Bay/ Timmins where the family gathered:)

7:46 pm

crosshair

I imagine everyone there has skin the consistency of a fine tooled leather saddle:))

7:46 pm

rururocks

wow. holy shit

7:46 pm

crosshair

at minus 40 the two scales meet;)))

7:46 pm

rururocks

the coldest I've ever been in was -67F in Manitoba

7:47 pm

rururocks

my feet got frostbite

7:47 pm

crosshair

That is also refreshing:))

7:47 pm

rururocks

that was with a wind chill factor.. I think it was 43 below. with wind

7:47 pm

crosshair

after minus 20 it is all just wind chill anyways. if the wind is down you are mostly ok. just have to make sure that things are not freezing and falling off...

7:48 pm

rururocks

I tried to x country ski on that day .. what an idiot I am

7:48 pm

crosshair

yes. i would not ski at minus 60

7:49 pm

rururocks

I was 20 or 21.. crazy..

7:49 pm

crosshair

On the other side of the coin, i am sure you have me beat in dealing with heat. Once it gets over 80F you can just forget about me and drag my carcass into the shade:)

7:52 pm

rururocks

I played tennis in 104-105 F

7:52 pm

rururocks

tournaments

7:52 pm

rururocks

also crazy

7:52 pm

crosshair

Once last summer i went hiking when it was close to 90F. What a nightmare Ended up with a BLEEDING heat rash on my inner thighs and a general heat rash all over my chest

7:53 pm

crosshair

rubbed the skin raw in several places:(\
