Must admit I have really struggled to get over the half way point in todays grid.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Hello everyone :-)

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Anyone here?

5:42 am

bubba218

Hi

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bubba

5:43 am

bubba218

How have been

5:44 am

Scrabbler

I am doing well. Trying to balance life's demands. How are you?

5:45 am

bubba218

Pretty good, trying to slow down, in the office two days a week, and surgery one day.

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Good for you. Too many docs work far too much. I work 3 days weekly myself. But I am on call this weekend--Fri-Sat-Sun, and I work this morning.

5:46 am

bubba218

Call is a killer, I do trauma call, but only every three months for two weeks

5:48 am

bubba218

As a matter of fact, got call this weekend. Had a MVA last nite

5:48 am

Scrabbler

One of my latest orthopedic problems is improving--metatarsalgia. My other persists--greater trochanteric bursitis which bothers me only during the night or sitting for too long.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Ugh, you must see bad injuries when you do trauma call.

5:49 am

bubba218

I find the solution to all my problems is not to get old. But alas??

5:49 am

bubba218

Crazy stuff, but thank goodness for residents.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

The alternative is not yet appealing.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Next Saturday night is our 30 year reunion for med school! Oh, how time has flown by. We were kids when we started.

5:50 am

JBsAnno

My thought exactly, Scrabbler!

5:51 am

bubba218

go 10, is something I know, a device to measure angles

5:51 am

JBsAnno

jive

5:52 am

JBsAnno

oops, sorry. PB for me.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi JBsAnno. You mean about dying? My uncle was 92, hi wife died at 92 last Sept, was ready to die and just faded away quickly in Feb. He was ready.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I already had that word, JB.

5:52 am

bubba218

It is strange, I graduated high scholl at 16, so I was alwasenior residentsys the youngest, now I look around the room and I have kids older than the senior residents..

5:53 am

JBsAnno

Umm, need to put my glasses on, but denying reality is my morning metier.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

When I realize how fast the last 30+ years flew by I panic at being 55 now. My bucket list must be dealt with, but I have to take care of my almost 84 year old Mom.

5:54 am

JBsAnno

Bubba, I've been in med ed since 1998, and know exactly what you mean! (PC for 15 years+)

5:55 am

bubba218

My fathers favoirtie expression, "Live every day like it was your last, and one day you'll be right"

5:55 am

JBsAnno

Hang in there, Scrabbler, my mom is getting into her late 70s, and she is really blossoming. She even got an iPhone!

5:55 am

JBsAnno

LOL, bubba, so true.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Good adage, bubba.

5:56 am

JBsAnno

If I've learned something new, then the day is a good one.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

My mother doesn't even have a microwave oven! Too dangerous.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Bubba, what is that go 10 thing you mentioned?

5:58 am

bubba218

A device to measure angles, and ROM.

5:58 am

JBsAnno

Phantoms: augment, venom, aarg. Aargh!

5:59 am

bubba218

Go 10, go*e with the wind + charged particle is a **n + you measure temperature with a thermo*****

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Ok, Bubba.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Oh, it's a clue, a stat. Now I get it.

6:00 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, Bubba. Had to Google it! I didn't know that one.

6:00 am

JBsAnno

See? It's now officially a good day!

6:02 am

crosshair

Good morning, everyone:)

6:02 am

JBsAnno

Hi, crossy!

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Good day, Crossy!

6:03 am

JBsAnno

Going to the list, I

6:04 am

JBsAnno

am seeing too many phantom and ghost words. Getting tired that my tries are not in the grid, or even in the dictionary!

6:05 am

crosshair

We had frost again early this morning, but is now a balmy 4C:)

6:07 am

crosshair

Will be a good day to hit the trails this afternoon:)

6:07 am

Scrabbler

We had a frost last night too, proving again that we should not plant flowers and veggies until after Memorial Day, here in ZOnes 4-5.

6:08 am

JBsAnno

Seems like we are going from summer into spring, doesn't it?

6:08 am

crosshair

here, it used to always be safe after may 24th, but the patterns are changing.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

We had about 2 wks of summery weather recently, then it got cold this week.

6:10 am

crosshair

Winter is now a pale shadow of its former self, and ends early, but summer is slow to come. However, once it comes it is nasty hot, but short, then there is snow on the ground for the end of October:( That has been the way for last 3 years

6:11 am

crosshair

The dividing lines of the seasons used to be more defined:(

6:11 am

Scrabbler

We get our first snowfall the first week of November.

6:12 am

Aloyisius

howdy folks.. and ty bubba for the go10, an instrument name I did not know

6:13 am

crosshair

We,, it is saying we are due for 15C, scrabby, perfect for a hike. Common up and we can hit the Bruce for 10k or so:)

6:13 am

crosshair

Howdy, aloy

6:14 am

crosshair

Still love your calligraphy kitty, JBsAnno. Must remember to show it to the mrs as that used to be her hobby

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I do need to visit you, Crossy!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Aloy

6:15 am

crosshair

I have just the trail in mind as well! bring your hiking stick/poles

6:17 am

Scrabbler

My poles are always in my car, with lots of other gear, year-round.

6:17 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, Crossy, it was a gift from Jellen in 2009. Just 3 strokes of the pen, so simply elegant.

6:18 am

crosshair

i use a set of antique bamboo ski poles I found when i worked at the ski lodge on Blue a few years ago:)

6:19 am

Aloyisius

oh oh, red bars.. may have to try again later.. my last post was lost in cyber space

6:19 am

JBsAnno

Grr, have to finish this later. Making a grocery list and doing the grid require different brain regions that are currently not compatible in my state of mind. Enjoy your hike/Babbling/day, everyone!

6:19 am

crosshair

The metal prong on the bottom is perfect for use as support poles if tarp-tent bivvying

6:19 am

crosshair

tc jbsanno

6:21 am

Aloyisius

it said .. Mother Earth is in the grid, but she is too proper to be accepted

6:22 am

crosshair

7:03 am

Soodle

Just watching the votes being counted from yesterdays referendum. I'm ecstatic to report that this little country of ours has become the first country in the world to publically vote for same sex marriages. We have indeed come a long way!

7:03 am

sukee

Congratulations.

7:05 am

mattygroves

It does look like way, Soodle! I'm impressed. Will it become law, d'ya think? Is the vote binding?

7:05 am

mattygroves

And does anyone have any of the JA words besides the big cat?

7:05 am

Soodle

For sure, Mattie. The people have spoken.

7:06 am

sukee

Ty matty, I did not have the big cat.

7:07 am

Yaa for the vote, soodles!! However, Canada has had same-sex marriages across the country for a decade now:) since 2005, and we were not the first, we were the fourth:)

7:26 am

LuvWordGames

Same-sex marriage here in Michigan is still not legal and had to go all the way to the Supreme Court. Hopefully they will finally make it the law of the land for the whole nation when they had down their decision this summer.

7:28 am

crosshair

actually, 8 of the ten provinces were fully onboard as early as 2003:)

7:28 am

Have you updated the acrobat reader. If you have all the updates, and it still will not read, I highly recomend the Calibre software. it will read all file types. there is a bit of a learning curve, but once you get onto Calibre, you can open any type of file they throw at you

8:08 am

phaeton

ty...will try that

8:08 am

crosshair

Plus, it is amazing and converting file types for your ebook device

8:08 am

phaeton

acrobat reader is updated.

8:09 am

crosshair

Give calibre a spin. see what you think of it

I have yet to run across a file type it could not open

and If you plug in your reader, or tablet, it will automatically format it for your specific device

8:12 am

8:26 am

flosey

then home again to meet up with Jill, Ru, Saanichcat, and Anne and hubby (can't think of Anne's babble name at the moment)

8:26 am

crosshair

Cool! a Babble meet:))

8:27 am

flosey

hubby's garden is well underway and, fortunately, he has allocated garden space to 2 different friends who don't have space themselves

8:28 am

flosey

I've been trying to get him to slow down a bit - this way he sees the land used

8:28 am

crosshair

When we get together again, You will have to come to my area so I can make you a proper crossy breakfast instead of that sad attempt at breakfast they threw at us at that restaraunt.

8:29 am

crosshair

Well, if he has garden buddies they can share the work load:)

8:29 am

flosey

wow, that would be lovely, Crossy

8:31 am

flosey

we had a 'cousins' meet up 2 years ago (no one remaining of the generation before us) it was great and hopefully we might have one again this year - have not heard anything yet

8:32 am

crosshair

I am sure some enjoy it, but they were trying to make it all too fancy, Old fashioned breakfast goodies are always the best:) yesterday, for example, I made the Mrs a 3-cheese omelette with a side of pea-meal bacon, home fries and toasted English muffins with apple jelly:)

nm - found the vi 6

11:39 am

cybernan

found the go

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

funny how the mind works. as soon as i saw nans stats i found the word. I think we "see" it but the mind does not recognize it.

11:41 am

doseffing

... It might be that we can't see it until we know it's there

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps. for some reason, it does not pass from eye to brain

11:48 am

doseffing

... I'll guess that's it's all pattern recognition ... knowing that there are seven "v" words out there doesn't give you enough of a hint as to the pattern ... ... but if you know there's a "vi6" then your brain's pattern recognizing apparatus has more tools to work with ... it starts going through words you know ... and then through the likelier patterns ... that it just couldn't generate when it only knew "v"

11:49 am

cybernan

inrun is not a word?

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

i wish the grid were larger today.

11:50 am

11:50 am

Hi peri -- the crowd should be back shortly. Babble IS a good way to pass time intelligently (the adverb is essential, of course)
