hi melon. what's up?
12:45 am
melonheadjujube
Cavs won. CLE is starved for a championship team. Last one was '48 Indians. Sports in other words.
12:46 am
melonheadjujube
NBA best of seven. We evened it up tonight vs Golden State Warriors despite a serious injury to one of the starters.
12:48 am
grannyrose
sounds like an exciting game.
12:49 am
ARB
And with an Israeli coach!
12:51 am
melonheadjujube
Indeed, ARB! I actually went to the two exhibition games that Maccabi Tel Aviv played v the Cavs. The first one was 4 seasons ago, before LeBron announced he was leaving CLE, so the oly people in attendance were from Jewish communities as far away as Detroit and Pitts burgh.
12:52 am
melonheadjujube
The exhibition game v Maccabi this past fall was another affair entirely, given LeBon's return to CLE after his 3 years in Miami. He's from Akron, and thus a local guy.
12:52 am
ARB
It's amazing here here in ISrael -- the coverage given to the Cleveland team. It's another of the ISraeli teams, as afar as the press is concerned!
12:53 am

dcseain was saying that there is much newer version of enable available, but babble doesn't use it.
3:21 am

yeah that is true, but in the newer version a lot of our babblets are gone. I would hate to lose our babblets.
3:23 am

plus, drG is not at all inclined to put any more energy into babble. He was going to make a whole new version of babble, but I haven'

I have been meaning to ask you, ruby... if at any point you want me to come, let me know and we'll see what can be arranged.
3:45 am
rubyfoo

3:46 am

thank you for your offer, Sprite, for the mo', John has offered to come at any time and for however long. He is really stepping up
3:47 am
sprite
wow I am really happy with that. That is much better, your son with you. I think he is regretting his cavalier attitude.
3:47 am
grannyrose
so pleased son has realised you are not putting it on.
3:47 am
sprite
anyway, the offer stands, so don't hesitate to change your mind, ok?
3:48 am
sprite
snap, rose :)
3:48 am
rubyfoo
I think he was in denial, LIKE E, AND DIDN'T WANT TO CONSIDER THAT I MIGHT BE SICK AGAIN. I RUINED HIS SENIOR YEAR AT UNIVERSITY
3:48 am
rubyfoo
sorry for caps
3:49 am
sprite
you didn't ruin anything, ruby, the cancer did.
3:50 am
grannyrose
oh, for goodness sake ruby. you must stop blaming yourself for that. it's history sweetie. and if he still brings it up, tell him to let it go.
3:51 am
sprite
it is pretty simple, actually. It is ok to feel guilty (or blame someone) for things done on purpose. But with things out of our circle of influence, we can only feel regret that it happened that way.
3:51 am
sprite
sorry to preach
3:52 am
grannyrose
exactly sprite.
3:52 am
rubyfoo
no,he has never brought it up but it eats at me
3:53 am
sprite
in that case, not sorry to preach, grin. take it to heart, darling. Forgive yourself, with all of your heart. It was none of your doing. It happened to you, and it happened to him, and that is life.
3:55 am
sprite
what makes it hard is that it is 'easier' to feel guilty than to feel powerless. But as far as fate goes, we ARE powerless. Our power does not lie in influencing what happens to us, but in how we handle what happens to us.

Maybe Pirate Radio? It's worth finding

Pirate Radio.... I have that film on my iPad. Love it and the music. I remember Radio Caroline :)

I need to get out early today so I am going to shower. As far as "wiildcat" goes, I am going to let this episode die an unnatural death. However, I wonder if wildcat is an actual person or another false identity.

Something just doesnt sit right. I will never know so I have to let it go but it was lousy from the start.
7:12 am

Paypal is always the most direct and easy way to send someone money. The part of the "Wildcat scam" I never understood was why people were sending checks to Wildcat instead of sending money directly to the person in need.
7:14 am

I dont think I sent money to Wildcat.

I agree Kaplan. Sending money to a complete stranger is taking a HUGE risk. And whether you think people here are "nice" or not, they are complete strangers.

Mmmmm. Lobster. Maine is beautiful. Gotta get there some day.

if you avoid May and June, should have no trouble with black flies....we see them less on the coast than inland, too...September is usually very nice....we get more tourists in Sept. than in June now...

Apologies for using "actually" twice in one sentence.

check around - had that in my knees before the arthritis set in -- found a physio/chiropractic practice that gave cold laser treatments for it - really helped
9:31 am
cybernan
failing that -- try an cream with arnica in it --- I found Arnicare cream by Boiron to be the best (London Drugs or a health food store should have it)

The snake comment from 2 hours ago. You ARE right on cue.

How are you today, Molly?
12:54 pm
MollyL
Not bad for a Monday, and you? Last I read you were facing a plethora of health ailments.
12:55 pm
car.eeyore
I'm literally sitting in my chair wincing right now. Pain clinic finally returned my call, but my phone died whilst I was at work. Waiting for it to recharge enough so I can call them now.
12:55 pm
car.eeyore
Other than that, I am good though!
12:57 pm
MollyL
That is kind of like "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?"
12:57 pm
car.eeyore
Yup..exactly
12:59 pm
MollyL
What does a pain clinic do?
1:00 pm
car.eeyore
They can give me a cortisone shot in my back or some other modality.
1:00 pm
car.eeyore
At this point, the pain is the biggest issue.
1:01 pm
MollyL
Has the cause of the pain been diagnosed?
1:01 pm
car.eeyore
No accurately
1:02 pm
car.eeyore
Its falling under the heading of sciatic nerve pain but we don't know why it is so bad and where it is coming from
1:02 pm
car.eeyore
Stats for the C please?
1:02 pm
MollyL
Have you been checked for fused discs?
1:03 pm
car.eeyore
I had an MRI...have protruding discs but not fused
1:04 pm
MollyL
Oh well, herniated discs would cause a lot of pain.
1:04 pm
car.eeyore
I am a medical mystery....
1:05 pm
MollyL
That is not a medical mystery. There are treatments for herniated discs.
1:06 pm
car.eeyore
They said I don't have one of those, though
1:07 pm
MollyL
Well, any time the disc is protruding or bulging, or called herniated, it's all pretty much the same thing.
1:07 pm
car.eeyore
Oh...they didn't think the protrusions would be the cause, but I will certainly ask them now!
1:20 pm
bichon
Mr. Bich had a herniated disc and he was laid out flat until the swelling subsided enough to get some sort of shots
1:26 pm
MollyL
Alternative treatment such as accupuncture and accupressure help with disc problems. But you have to be a believer in that kind of treatment.
1:26 pm
MollyL
Most people want shots and doctors.
1:27 pm
bichon
It sure cured him, but he has to do back strengthening exercises for the rest of his life
1:27 pm

Molly...Pain clinic can see me on Thursday!!!!!
1:51 pm
car.eeyore
That will just be for the consult, but the original hospital clinic couldn't see me until July.
1:52 pm
bichon
I remember that the orthopedist who give the shots couldn't see Mr. Bich mor 6 weeks
1:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is so amazing...that the wait is so long. what are you supposed to do until then?
1:55 pm
bichon

1:55 pm

Hi. There was an american reporter on the radio today, and I suddenly realised that I "hear" all babblers speaking with an english accent.
3:08 pm
ChrissieDee
Shame we can't enjoy the voices
3:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
a babbler sent me a sound clip of what her local accent sounds like. it was so funny!
3:12 pm
ChrissieDee
I have a Liverpool accent, though not too strong
3:15 pm
ChrissieDee
Did you send one back TO?
3:23 pm
harpjane
I haven't finished. I just got here.
3:23 pm

3:33 pm
stidgmere
We're west coast U.S. We don't think we have an accent.
3:35 pm
ChrissieDee
I love hearing americans doing english accents in films

We don't think we have accents either :)

Oh God, I hope not
6:50 pm

well.. God would have something to do with it I guess
6:58 pm
MollyL
I am not sure how much God has to do with fake Christians like the Duggars
7:00 pm

I hope we're not nearly as hypocritical as the Duggars
7:01 pm

Coralie is miss2bit's 6th first cousin, but the first one on the maternal side

too many ads on A2z.. makes my computer crash
7:22 pm
MollyL
Maybe try installing an ad blocker. I use Ad Pro and never see all the pesky ads
7:24 pm
MollyL
Sorry, Adblock Pro
7:36 pm
rururocks
how do I do that?
7:37 pm
MollyL
Do you use Chrome as your browser?
7:40 pm
MollyL
Well, then that won't work. AdBlock Pro is a free Chrome download that blocks ads on all sites and in any email programs you use.
7:41 pm
MollyL
Firefox probably has a similar feature. If you do a Google search on ad blocker Firefox I bet you will find some. If you are using Internet Exploder, you have my deepest sympathy.
7:43 pm
rururocks
Sympathy accepted
7:44 pm
rururocks
time to have a glass of vino.. and grill the beef :D
7:45 pm
MollyL
Internet Exploder is the browser king of pop up ads and other annoying tag ons. I strongly suggest you try another browser, just for a while and see the difference.
7:45 pm
rururocks
maybe i'll check out chrome
7:45 pm
rururocks
i'll try to figure out how to load it.
