3:34 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day. {{hugs}} sprite. wb diz. my wretched laptop just crashed. all seems okay now.

3:35 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good evening dear one :D Good to hear you are feeling well after the infusion

3:37 am

grannyrose

just as well with running round having blood te4s and x-rays done. and yes, the pics look weird. the head of one screw is standing proud of the bone by a good 1/4-1/2 inch.

3:37 am

sprite

ah! That is not a good thing. Might well cause you all that pain.

3:39 am

sprite

what did they say about it?

3:39 am

grannyrose

will find out on friday, honey.

3:40 am

sprite

ok. That proud screwhead stands out by a LOT.

3:42 am

grannyrose

i was wondering if the compression sock pressure has made it become more painful.

3:42 am

sprite

no doubt. Everything that puts pressure on it must be causing pain.

3:43 am

grannyrose

i have to wear the sock because that ankle swells so badly, no matter what the weather.

3:44 am

sprite

maybe you can cut out a circle at the location of the screw.

3:44 am

grannyrose

it is relatively simple bit of surgery to remove the screw totally.

3:45 am

sprite

yes, I meant until then

3:45 am

HighEnergy

3:46 am

5:42 am

Jayk

i just discoveredd that myself!

5:44 am

doseffing

... yeah .. but if you ended it with "um" or "em" instead of the ending they have here then you'd have a word that has roughly the same meaning that isn't that unusual ... and this is likely just the proper latin or greek ending to have the formal word ...

5:46 am

sukee

Anyone have the stats for the lone A in the top left corner?

6:39 am

6:40 am

periwinkle

6:40 am

Anniebrook

going to start the coffeemaker

6:40 am

doseffing

... ends with the zodiacal sign for the end of March

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

Small groups of soldiers, usually hired by third world despots who will operate outside the standard rules of military engagement.

Lizlin

Thanks for the de 10 and hi

6:46 am

Lizlin

Bye Une

6:47 am

crosshair

Howdy Liz:)

6:47 am

Lizlin

Hi Crossy :)

6:47 am

Lizlin

Hope you're enjoying the summer

6:48 am

crosshair

I am indeed, but I am actually getting bored now. I cannot wait till classes begin again:)

6:48 am

Lizlin

That's real enthusiasm!

6:48 am

Lizlin

Do you have a permanent job for next year. (academic)

6:48 am

periwinkle

finally got the de10 I was using an A where I should have been using an E. ty

6:48 am

crosshair

I love helping the kids out, and since my clearances are good till march of 2016, i may as well use them.

6:49 am

Lizlin

I also loved working with kids - but I love retirement even more :)

6:50 am

crosshair

Nothing full-time ,Liz though there are funds there for other things should i be offered a more substantial position.

6:51 am

Lizlin

Is it likely that they'll offer you something else - is that what you're hoping? Are you looking for anything?

6:51 am

crosshair

I am actually looking to further my own education at one of the local colleges or universities, but we shall see how that goes...

6:52 am

Lizlin

That'd be wonderful - I certainly got the idea that you were enjoying the courses you were doing and I think it's great to have the opportunity to further your education.

6:53 am

crosshair

Algonquin in Ottawa offers a great many communication courses, and if not one of the smaller local colleges

6:53 am

Lizlin

Have you applied or is it not the right time to do that?

6:54 am

crosshair

No quite the right time yet. I have to get all my ducks in a row first financially

6:54 am

Lizlin

Well, I hope it all works out for you.

6:54 am

periwinkle

are there any grants or scholarships you can apply for, crossy?

6:54 am

crosshair

Plus, I am waiting for my better half to graduate next year.

6:55 am

Lizlin

What's she studying?

6:55 am

crosshair

there are some, peri, but that is a tough go. I look into those as well.

6:55 am

Bremen

v

6:55 am

periwinkle

ok

6:55 am

crosshair

She is actually taking some college pre-requisite English courses

6:56 am

Lizlin

For the fun of it (i.e. personal achievement and enjoyment) or some specific purpose?

6:56 am

crosshair

She wishes to take some professional photography couses aftwerwards, should things come together

6:57 am

Lizlin

There's certainly a lot of beautiful scenery in your part of the world or does she prefer portrait photography? Or something entirely different?

7:00 am

crosshair

She prefers nature shots

7:01 am

crosshair

She has a real talent of capturing what I tend to miss:)

7:01 am

crosshair

My skills lie in another area entirely:)

7:02 am

Lizlin

I love taking photos - take some pretty good ones too but I can't be bothered with processing them. My hubby spends ages post-processing his shots.

7:03 am

hurshy

i have an fe9 - anyone have any others?

7:03 am

Lizlin

I have an re 9 but not an fe 9

7:04 am

hurshy

fight between clans + sign of the ram in the zodiac

7:05 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Hurshy - I figured it had to follow on from the fight word but couldn't get there.

7:05 am

hurshy

can you clue the r?

7:05 am

crosshair

I used to be terrible for processing as well ,Liz. I was so glad when digital photography came into being. it was embarrassing in the past at how many rolls of undeveloped 35mm and 110mm film i had laying about:)

7:05 am

Lizlin

The re 9 is to try to bring on a state again - in a person.

7:06 am

Lizlin

Trying to thing how to break it down more usefully.

7:06 am

hurshy

thanks i got it from that clue :)

7:06 am

Lizlin

Great.

7:07 am

Lizlin

I'll straighten horizons and possibly lighten a few shadows but not much more.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

reincarnate

7:07 am

Anniebrook

nope, sorry

7:08 am

Anniebrook

found the re8

7:08 am

Lizlin

Sorry Annie - too tired to think how to clue it by breaking it down.

7:08 am

MollyL

Annie, think of forced labor (pregnancy)

7:08 am

Anniebrook

found the re9-----thats Liz and Molly

7:08 am

Lizlin

Nice clue, Molly

7:08 am

Anniebrook

and thanks

7:13 am

TraderKate

was it "to force a woman into labour again"?
struggling to see something else

7:17 am

Lizlin

The base word is used to describe bringing on labour and the re makes it again.

7:17 am

TraderKate

ty Liz

7:18 am

Lizlin

Not sure if that's what you were asking though.

7:19 am

TraderKate

yes, that was it.

7:19 am

Lizlin

:)

7:19 am

TraderKate

I keep typing sardine :(

7:20 am

Lizlin

I tried that too.

7:20 am

TraderKate

sarnies is too a word, ask any Brit...

7:21 am

TraderKate

there's one phantom every grid that I keep trying...

7:21 am

Lizlin

Of course - as a Brit I tried that too.

7:21 am

Lizlin

Which is ...?

7:21 am

Lizlin

Ok - misread that!

7:22 am

TraderKate

lol, it's early for me and getting late for you...

7:23 am

Lizlin

Very true! 85 more words to find but I reckon I may find one or two more tonight but leave the rest 'til tomorrow.

7:23 am

TraderKate

for a grid of 400, the fishies seem to be hiding rather well...

7:24 am

Lizlin

Word blindness is definitely settling in here.

7:25 am

TraderKate

time for a break then Liz :)

7:25 am

Lizlin

I'll take your advice. Have a good day, Kate.

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Babble and other word puzzles are great ways to fend off dementia.

8:32 am

Trifioso

I will never understand the sense behind the nu5.14. You either are or you aren't, in my view....

8:32 am

Trifioso

god, I hope so scrabbler

8:33 am

bichon

That's not the definition in enable. It's one who says no

8:33 am

bichon

Scrabs, good to know. I just read that lots of screen time increases dementia

8:34 am

Trifioso

I read that currently there is just about nothing that really can be done to slow down, prevent, or reverse alzheimers.

8:34 am

lynxxx

If you go down further to the Britsh definition Bichon

8:35 am

bichon

yes, I see now

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Dementia is part of the aging process--we lose brain matter eventually.

8:36 am

Trifioso

let me tell you.....every time I can't find my keys...every time I forget a word...my stomach drops, and I think "Here it comes"

9:06 am

9:07 am

ivesy3

i know this goes on every day at least 5 or 6 times a day..i mean really!! no courtesy on her part whatsoever and she parks in other peoples spots

9:07 am

MollyL

Your driveway? Is this ahole someone who lives in your house?

9:07 am

ivesy3

i would like to go out and smack the crap out of her lol

9:07 am

mkg

flosey has the right idea. go say they arent home.

9:07 am

mkg

5 of 6 times a day? who is picking her up? i dont get it.

9:07 am

MLFAN17

that driver needs to find someone else to pick up and take places

9:08 am

MLFAN17

can someone clue the 10 pls?

9:08 am

ivesy3

no molly they live in apt. across my drive.. but our driveway.. the one being picked up is never out there ready..

9:09 am

ivesy3

the driver needs to learn manners and the person being picked up needs to get off his fat ass lol

9:09 am

MollyL

That is sad. If someone was nice enough to give me a ride somewhere I would be out front and ready on time.

9:09 am

ivesy3

disgusting isnt it molly .. he is supposed to be lving there alone... but his gf or whatever she is stays and stays.. and every time she comes back.. a new baby!!

9:13 am

HarryHood

it's like having a feeding tube and a catheter - never have to get up for anything, except to remove the bedsores, and tell the guy outside to stop honking

9:14 am

ivesy3

i have already had it out with the driver about parking in my spot. one day when she does it i am going to park rite behind her and not answer the door so she cant get out

9:15 am

10:19 am

Trifioso

which reminds me....still "adjusting" to the new word the OED accepted this week. Ahem!

10:19 am

periwinkle

and 5/15 of the 8's

10:19 am

Scrabbler

I just passed halfway and it wasn't easy.

10:19 am

Trifioso

In case you hadn't heard...it's the VERY offensive term other use to describe people from my wonderful state!

10:20 am

periwinkle

I don't know where you are from and what word

10:20 am

Scrabbler

I don't know that word, Trif, not an offesive one.

10:21 am

HarryHood

when driving around Boston, that word comes to mind frequently

10:21 am

harpjane

I don't think there's an offensive word for Montanan.

10:21 am

mkg

offensive word? i dont get these hints at all.

10:21 am

bichon

ne 5/12, pls

10:21 am

mkg

boston??????? hmmmm

10:22 am

mkg

i dont see rude in the grid.

10:22 am

HarryHood

think what you do in catholic church + what you dig to plant a tree.

10:23 am

Scrabbler

Oh, that is not a nice word for Bay Staters.

10:23 am

Trifioso

its not a clue, mkg, we are just talking

10:23 am

Trifioso

and it's "Masshole"

10:23 am

MollyL

I think Trif is referring to the term masshole, which apparently has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary

10:23 am

bichon

is that the ne 5/12?

10:23 am

Scrabbler

ne5 rhymes with a bank he*** (robbery)

10:23 am

mkg

ok. so i am not catholic. so you pray. not in grid. hmmm

10:24 am

Trifioso

ITS NOT A CLUE, mkg...

10:24 am

bichon

that's not the 5/12

10:24 am

periwinkle

oh, that is not very nice

10:24 am

Judi

Sorry. Giggling about "masshole".

10:24 am

Trifioso

not at all.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Oh, ne5/10

10:24 am

mkg

ok. so this word is not in the grid ok. sorry

10:25 am

Trifioso

10:26 am

mkg

10:27 am

bichon

I love the first nu 5/14, comparative of the nu 4/6

10:27 am

montreal13

keep going bichon for the NU6

10:27 am

MollyL

The dictionary used here does not define the ne5. Other dictionaries do.

10:28 am

bichon

10:28 am

bichon

wait, now I do

10:28 am

bichon

I am approaching half way

10:28 am

montreal13

ahh :-)

10:28 am

MollyL

I agree with everyone who has said there should be no comparative for that word. There is no more so or most.

10:30 am

MollyL

Merriam Webster defines ne5 as... friend â€”formerly used by colonists in salutation to American Indians

10:30 am

mkg

agree.

10:30 am

mkg

must be an indian word then.

10:30 am

bichon

or a comparative of mere

10:30 am

rururocks

10:32 am

Trifioso

Scrabbler

And with 182 left I am done.

10:36 am

MollyL

Once again I have somehow lost the gist of the chat. ne5 is a comparative of mere? I missed something.

10:38 am

harpjane

i gave up on the chog, molly

10:39 am

therealblah

10:45 am

harpjane

is it one you drink?

10:46 am

bichon

no, squares on a sidewalk you hop from square to square, probably a NY term

10:46 am

MollyL

The po word is Ritchie's friend on Happy Days. Spelled with a y I think in reference to hopscotch.

10:46 am

mkg

we called in hop scotch and never heard it called anything else. .

10:47 am

bichon

ra 5/12, pls

10:48 am

10:57 am

HarryHood

I watched a LOT of tv

10:58 am

HarryHood

11:38 am

ch1212

Okay, ... I am having a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) on Thursday. Who here has some advice? They didn't tell me much except to drink extra water.

11:39 am

car.eeyore

Just breathe. Its pressure but not too bad.

11:39 am

ch1212

Did yours have the fluoroscope to help locate the right spot?

11:39 am

car.eeyore

The first needle in, the anesthetic, is the worst part.

11:40 am

car.eeyore

Trif just had one a few weeks ago and they just did it in the ER...no fluoroscope.

11:40 am

ch1212

How long is the recovery time?

11:40 am

zoozzoom

No advice here, Ch1212, But I wish you well during and afterwards for a speedy recovery :-)

11:41 am

car.eeyore

They told her to lie flat for an hour. She has had some discomfort now and then, but not too bad.

11:42 am

car.eeyore

I am going for my second injection into my back next week. I know it is a different procedure, but I had hardly any down time.

11:42 am

ch1212

Thanks, zooz and car. That's reassuring. Car, I wish you well too.

11:43 am

car.eeyore

The best thing you can do is breathe and relax. It makes it so much easier.

11:43 am

ch1212

I can breathe. My beloved wants to come in and hold my hand. Is that allowed?

11:44 am

car.eeyore

During a regular one, yes. But I am not sure with the fluorscope. My hubby can't come in for my injections because they use an x-ray type of machine.

11:44 am

car.eeyore

Bring a small stuffed animal just in case.

11:45 am

ch1212

oh, that makes sense. ---lol! I actually have a fluffly little kitty that he gave me on Valentine's day! Maybe I'll bring that along :)

11:45 am

car.eeyore

Perfect...something squeezable.

11:45 am

zoozzoom

Ladette is not allowed :-(

11:45 am

car.eeyore

:(

11:46 am

ch1212

Who is Ladette?

11:46 am

Uneaixoise

wasn't that part of the title of a BBC TV show? :-)

11:47 am

Uneaixoise

Ladettes and Ladies? or did I dream that? LOL

11:47 am

zoozzoom

The word "ladette" has been coined to describe young women who take part in laddish behaviour. It is defined by the Concise Oxford Dictionary as: "Young women who behave in a boisterously assertive or crude manner and engage in heavy drinking sessions."

11:47 am

11:49 am

Uneaixoise

hugs and all best wishes to you, Ruby! xxxooo

11:49 am

rubyfoo

I am so lucky that this is treatable. The bad news is that my doctor has been re-assigned elsewhere in two weeks.

11:50 am

car.eeyore

yay - treatable. Boo - relocation :( Make sure your doctor refers you personally to someone else.

11:50 am

Uneaixoise

how long will the treatment last?

11:50 am

zoozzoom

I am so pleased to hear it is treatable, Ruby.

11:50 am

Evidently, it could go on for years but that's OK with me.

11:50 am

Uneaixoise

11:51 am

Especially if it means that I can go on for years!

11:54 am

Uneaixoise
