*sprinting to the PB* Yippee!

5:47 am

Trifioso

I wish you lived closer today, scrabbler - MAN did I mess up! I forgot to schedule tertiare's yearly check up, and without an updated physical, she can't play field hockey, which starts next week....I have to THROW myself on the mercy of the doctor's office today and BEG them to get us in. I feel like such an idiot. Failure to plan on my part, and all that.....Tertiare is FURIOUS with me

5:48 am

Scrabbler

TY, Dos!

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Urgent care centers here do sports physicals. How about where you are?

5:48 am

Trifioso

oh, man, WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!! YOU RULE

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Or, if I leave in an hour I can be in Boston in maybe 8 hours.

5:49 am

Trifioso

At this point I will pay anything

5:49 am

Trifioso

I could fax you the form....to be honest, half of me wants to just forge a new date on last years. the kid is perfect, not a scratch on her, she is more than good to go.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Co-pay should not be much.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

I received a fax yesterday from an urgent care ctr that did a sports PE on a patient so he could start practices.

5:51 am

Trifioso

looks like it's $50 at the CVS one...

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Walk in, get it done,and your problem (crisis) is solved.

5:52 am

lbdawger

how old is tertiary?

5:52 am

sukee

ooo hoo, middle column greyed out.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

I am the school doc at 2 local schools and do sports PE's three times yearly to get kids cleared for the upcoming sports season.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

The school nurse keeps track of who needs to be seen.

5:53 am

Trifioso

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Go Sukee.

5:53 am

Trifioso

5:53 am

Trifioso

5:54 am

Scrabbler

See, you can relax now, Trif. Problem has been solved.

5:55 am

Trifioso

as I have said a million times - there is NO problem the chog can't solve!

5:55 am

sukee

Can't believe I missed that big cat for so long.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes! Toss out a question and you get an answer.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Big cat? Oh, I see it now.

5:59 am

sukee

5:59 am

Scrabbler

I don't drink at all. I never liked the taste of any alcoholic beverage, or what it did to my brain. I wish I liked red wine because of the health benefits.

It's true. When things get crazy here I just disappear. I do not like confrontation or anger.

I do fear I am too needy....sorry chog!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

We are ALL needy. Too many people do not ask for help when they need it.

6:11 am

there is not need to feel like you are needy, trif. This chog is an amazing wellspring of like experience, so whyy not draw upon it at need?

6:12 am

Scrabbler

It annoys us that urgent care centers do "well" visits and sports PEs, as our office is best, but when there is urgency it is a solution.

why? it is quite handy not having to retype

7:13 pm

rururocks

I don't know.. I checked it out once but it wasn't easy to navigate for me and it made it harder to chat

7:14 pm

I'm not a big fan of Expert either.

7:16 pm

rururocks

i was trying to milk a joke out of that ca 4

7:16 pm

Enomis65

in babble expert there is a box that adds your words to the grid and rickety at the same time Molly

7:16 pm

rururocks

i tried it when i started this game many years ago.. but haven't for a loooong time

7:17 pm

MollyL

Well you can copy and paste your word list into Lickety's list using the BULK ADD feature. So it's probably six of one half dozen of the other.

7:18 pm

MollyL

You don't have to retype anything.

7:18 pm

rururocks

Rickety is Lickety's brother?

7:19 pm

Enomis65

but you have to do it every time you add new words - which you don't have to in expert. a little quicker but ends up with the same result

7:19 pm

MollyL

Yes, his brother with arthritis. (Note that you do not have to mention that the comment was humorous, not critical)

7:20 pm

rururocks

well.. that's because just about 100% of what I say is kidding and teasing

7:20 pm

rururocks

I have only one serious bone in my body :D

7:24 pm

rururocks

that was a joke too

7:25 pm

MollyL

Well, I guess my kidding and teasing doesn't get the same consideration. And so it goes.

7:25 pm

rururocks

(puts molly in the bad kid's corner)

7:26 pm

Enomis65

do you guys have clues for en 6 and en7?

We did. It was the 2 of us, our son, and our 6 yr. old grandson. We went to the Black Hills in South Dakota And then out to Montana to visit relatives

8:39 pm

8:40 pm

Nef

He's been dreaming about traveling down the Mississippi River, tasting BBQ the whole way

8:41 pm

Nef

We saw the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull's Cavern (All in the Black Hills) then Devil's Tower in Wyoming

8:44 pm

Nef

We also went to Hot Springs (in the southern part of the Black Hills) & went to Evan's Plunge -- which was a disappointment. We'd gone there several times when our kids were young, but it's gone down hill since then; just wasn't clean and kept up now

8:53 pm

TraderKate

Most of it sounds wonderful though nef! Lucky you!!!!

8:54 pm

TraderKate

funny how things we loved much earlier don't always stay how we liked to remember them....

8:54 pm

(& we did see some dinosaur fossils; and some funny man-made copies too)

8:55 pm

TraderKate

I love dinops! if I won millions I would travel and dig until I dropped..

8:56 pm

Nef

no, Kate, Evan's Plunge used to be owned & run by a family; the city took it over & it really isn't as clean as it used to be. There was algae growing around the waterline (I would never have let my kids go in it back then

8:58 pm

Nef

There is a statue along I-90 hiway somewhere in South Dakota. Someone used old left over junk metal & made a human skeleton in front of a skeleton dinosaur; the dinosaur had a collar the the human skeleton was pulling the dino along behind!

8:59 pm

TraderKate

LOL!!! any pics of that?

8:59 pm

Nef

It was hilarious, but on the way back I noticed the dino's tail fell off (there'd been some bad storms that went through while we were gone I guess

9:00 pm

Nef

Nope. We couldn't stop because too many bikers along the road.It wasn't safe to stop

9:00 pm
