1:58 am

grannyrose

busy, but good busy. i slept very well after the endone

1:58 am

grannyrose

how was your night?

1:58 am

sprite

ah I am glad. Has the pain in the leg nerve subsided by now?

1:59 am

grannyrose

it's not too bad. i am aware of it, but it's not making me jump any more

1:59 am

sprite

what's all this talk about fights in the chog?

1:59 am

sprite

ok, progress at least. *healing vibes to your leg*

2:00 am

grannyrose

i'm trying to steer clear of it, honey.

2:01 am

sprite

I am glad we don't have it at this time, at least. Oldfashioned babble fun in 'our' time ;)

2:02 am

grannyrose

i have been playing bejeweled 3 games. have you ever played them?

2:02 am

spellit

Can't believe there are 3 9's here!

2:02 am

grannyrose

beeeleeeeve it spellit

2:02 am

spellit

Nanny

2:02 am

sprite

I don't think so. Bejeweled the original game, that I have played, back in da days.

2:02 am

sprite

hiya spellit, indeed!

2:03 am

spellit

Sorry!

2:03 am

spellit

Not awake yet!

2:03 am

sprite

*giggles* I think nanny is out, spellit, can I help you?

2:03 am

spellit

Just come to Sprite

2:04 am

sprite

*arms wide* room enough for you all!

2:04 am

grannyrose

sprite one of the games you have to rescue butterflies which seem to be hellbent on getting to the top of the board where a nasty black spider is waiting for them.

2:05 am

sprite

ok that sounds like fun

2:05 am

spellit

I always do the F's first, but there isn't one!

2:06 am

sprite

*hands spellit a purple crayon to change some grid letters*

2:07 am

grannyrose

you can create star cubes which explode the board. in one move i exploded three of them at once. the spider was running backwards and forwards and there were no butterflies for it. i just collapsed in a fit of the giggles. warped sense of humour huh?

2:07 am

spellit

That's better I'vegot 4 F's now!

2:07 am

sprite

I love your sense of humour, rose!

2:07 am

grannyrose

what? fair, fat, forty, and fertile?

2:08 am

sprite

lol rose!

2:08 am

grannyrose

no wait, that's the criteria for gall-stones.

2:08 am

spellit

Sadly I'm only one of those...

2:08 am

sprite

fair people get more gall stones?

2:09 am

grannyrose

there is one more... female...but i don't think spellit would like it... lolll

2:10 am

grannyrose

yes sprite. well actually it is referring to the colour of your skin. it appears the darker races don't develop gall stones as frequently

2:10 am

sprite

definitely not. Since I don't have any Fs, I'll stick to the Ks for spellit. Kind, kissable, kool and kinky.

2:19 am

spellit

Only just over 3 weeks before I go to Australia for the first time! At least weather might be better than UK.

2:19 am

sprite

right. They are just better built, the darker races.

2:19 am

sprite

oh wow spellit, exciting! I hope you'll have a wonderful time.

2:20 am

grannyrose

spellit, i certainly hope so, although we have had a particularly cold winter

2:22 am

spellit

We go Singapore-Darwin-Adelaide via Ghan-Melbourne-Sydney-Auckland-UK in 7 weeks

2:23 am

sprite

wow!

2:23 am

spellit

I will need another holiday at the end!

2:25 am

sprite

sounds like a wonderful holidays

2:25 am

grannyrose

i see your better half has been here before but are you ready for the wide open spaces?

2:26 am

spellit

Haven't really got my mind round just how big Oz is

2:27 am

sprite

such another scale of things than what we are used to, isn't it, spellit

2:30 am

spellit

Yes it's nothing to pop to Paris or Brussels or Amsterdam for us. Jane drove for two days but it was almost nothing on the map!

2:31 am

sprite

exactly. We are really not used to those kinds of distances. For me, as long as it is inside the netherlands, it can never be more than a 4 hour's drive

2:32 am

spellit

On Eurostar last month we had lunch in Lom

2:32 am

sprite

Lom?

2:33 am

spellit

On Eurostar last month we had lunch in London and tea in Paris with no problem.

2:34 am

spellit

Really need food! off for breakfast - back later.

2:34 am

sprite

ah right, yes. That is quite doable indeed.

2:34 am

sprite

bye spellit, enjoy your meal!

2:35 am

grannyrose

2:36 am

sprite

2:37 am

grannyrose

2:38 am

grannyrose

we are expecting up to 300 people for his memorial service on wednesday

2:38 am

sprite

omg. That is some turn-out. That needs organizing.

2:39 am

grannyrose

exactly. and our little church only holds about 100 with sardine oil.

2:40 am

sprite

stacking up to the ceiling?

2:40 am

grannyrose

we are talking about marques and a sound system to bradcast the service to those who can't fit it.

2:41 am

grannyrose

ugh... broadcast

2:42 am

2:55 am

grannyrose

2:55 am

sprite

I am right with you on that :D

2:56 am

sprite

there's the last 9. Always a lady dog when there are 9s and no 8s.

2:57 am

grannyrose

wow!! sprite. you rock

2:57 am

sprite

not really today, lol. It is like pulling teeth from a hen

2:58 am

sprite

or feathers from a frog

2:58 am

grannyrose

and rocking-horse poop

2:58 am

sprite

that too :D

3:00 am

sprite

it is what I call a lickety grid... one that I have to use lickety's list for, and not just for the last 2 or 3

5:39 am

MollyL

I'm still curious about what the odds are of a 25 letter word showing up in one of these grids.

5:39 am

MollyL

mu9 is the state of thing being boring

5:40 am

MollyL

mu6 starts the same and ends in can material

5:40 am

lbdawger

ty, molly.

5:40 am

sukee

TY, got the 6 :)

5:40 am

sukee

And the 9 :)

5:41 am

lbdawger

I would never have thought to try either of those. thank you again, Molly

5:49 am

MollyL

It's a Twilight Zone-ish grid

5:50 am

MollyL

I keep seeing the same word spelled from a different direction and thinking I need more coffee

5:54 am

mrpresident

oh god this is a confustrating grid!

5:54 am

Amen to that.

Jivingjenny0

thanks for the 7 and the 9

6:11 am

Jivingjenny0

I feel the number of words in a grid work directly opposite to my time - lots of time -few words, little time-lots of words!!

6:12 am

lbdawger

tadone!!! finito!! couldn't have done it without help and a to z! whew. will hand around for a bit to clue if needed.

6:14 am

Marc Freeman

mu9, please?

6:16 am

mrpresident

something to do with utter boredom and a can

6:16 am

mrpresident

sorry marc, never understood the clue

6:17 am

MollyL

If something is boring it is mu7. You have to extend that word to get the 9. The 6 is the same first three letters and tin can material.

6:18 am

MollyL

Oops, well I pretty much gave the 6 away, sorry

6:19 am

MollyL

Meant to say "can material" that meaning what cans are made of.

6:20 am

Marc Freeman

mundane nor mundane does not work

6:20 am

mrpresident

that's right marc... don't get it

6:20 am

mattygroves

No, Marc - that's the right idea, but think of the state of being that. Use the sometimes vowel

6:20 am

kje

it is the quality of being boring.... use the bottom d

6:21 am

kje

the can has nothing to do with the 9, it is the 6, and is not related to the 9

6:21 am

mrpresident

thank you kje

6:21 am

Marc Freeman

got the 6

6:22 am

6:22 am

6:22 am

Marc Freeman

do you mean use the 'y'?

6:22 am

mattygroves

For the mu9, yes.

6:23 am

grant

Hit tab button by mistake.

6:23 am

mattygroves

Use the first three letters of the mu6. Add Mr Quayle's first name, then a vowel, and then a common internet abbreviation for Thank You

6:24 am

lbdawger

mu9, MU*sters the old tv show + *** Quayle + take p*** on the monkeys

6:24 am

mrpresident

nice clue too dawg!

6:25 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got the 9 how about the mu7?

6:25 am

mattygroves

That one I do not have.

6:26 am

kje

there is no 7

6:26 am

mattygroves

...which would explain why I don't have it

6:26 am

Marc Freeman

6:35 am

Marc Freeman

good morning, Liz

6:36 am

Nope, Marc, it doesn't. It starts with a greek letter (or estimated time of arrival)

6:36 am

lbdawger

Hi Marc - which et 6 - begins with the Greek letter and then has most of the Ranger guy, whose friend was Tonto

I agree - lovely city.

6:43 am

mattygroves

We were very lucky with the weather

6:43 am

Lizlin

hope you found some good places to eat.

6:44 am

mattygroves

Did see a lot of scantily clad women advertising double glazing. The windows were lit red, no doubt to hide any flaw in the glazing. That's my theory, anyway

6:44 am

Lizlin

LOL! Did you go to the sex museum - it was great fun!

6:45 am

mattygroves

We went past it, we didn't go in. We did check out a condomory, though. We did not purchase anything

6:45 am

Marc Freeman

ta7, please?

6:46 am

I meant it seriously! We went in - got a lot of laughs. 1920s photos and movies amongst other stuff.

mattygroves will have helped with that if you look at 6.38

6:47 am

How about Mr Fillion of Firefly?

6:47 am

Lizlin

He's often used to clue this letter combo.

6:48 am

Marc Freeman

Don't know him either. Where have I been?

6:48 am

mattygroves

The Mr Hawthorn wrote the Scarlet Letter

6:49 am

Lizlin

Mr Hawthorne - begins with a consonant and ends with consumed

la 40 = young boy + per(yearly)

9:13 am

Marjetta

la + ta ** (you did it) + ***b (no feeling)

9:13 am

MollyL

la7/40 starts with a word for young man and ends with a two letter expression you use when at a loss for words. It sounds like an opiate

9:13 am

Marjetta

aebmusica had the much better clue! wtg

9:15 am

Ty Marj, I like clues that make one think it out instead of spoon feeding clues.

9:15 am

I didn't even see it like you did until you said it. That is a wonderful clue.

1:53 pm

hi Kap

1:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

HELL-o.

1:54 pm

hego

:)

1:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am working on my John Sarno Healing chronic pain stuff. (Started with my back, switched to my neck.) Mind-body syndrome.

1:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Very interesting.

1:56 pm

hego

Is it helping?

1:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I talked about it a few weeks ago. Yes, it is helping. I am back at the gym, I ignore correct seating positions, try to accept the pain when it occurs.

1:57 pm

hego

interesting

1:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But the written work is a chore.

1:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Unsent letters and that sort of thing.

1:59 pm

hego

haomework

1:59 pm

MollyL

Kaplan, since you are a therapist, what is your opinion of
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing?

1:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

yes exactly

2:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am not trained in it but it is very effective for trauma and I often refer people to colleagues who are certified in EMDR because it helps them get past some blockages

2:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Basically what I am doing with some of the mindfulness is reprogramming my response to pain. Probably EMDR would have helped me as well. There is so much incredible research on the mind-body interrelation but the medical system is not inclined to treat them as unified.

2:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We get very intimidated and frightened by the language in our MRI reports, not knowing that MRIs and subjective pain generally do not correlate

2:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So yeah, I am actually much better than when this first hit me.

2:06 pm

hego

Sounds like a great approach.

2:07 pm

hego

I'm glad to hear that you are getting some relief.

2:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I hope it will be like a bad dream. Spine dr. said I have no restrictions on my activities. None? I said in disbelief.

2:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah thanks me too

2:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the brain is a fascinating universe

2:08 pm

hego

and very unexplored too.

2:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

how come there are two Y's right next to each other?

2:09 pm

hego

lol. good question.

2:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They keep thinking they are exploring it, but I think consciousness is as big as the universe

2:11 pm

MollyL

I agree that the mind-body interrelation is not appropriately used in therapy and in regular medicine.

2:11 pm

MollyL

Sorry, standard medical treatment would have been a better way to say that.

2:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Wouldn't it be amazing if the entire brain were entered and it was learned that it contained all the outer galaxies?

2:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Allopathic medicine.

2:12 pm

hego

a lot of patients don't want to hear it. They want "Give me a pill and make it better".

2:13 pm

MollyL

Most people are unaware of how their thoughts affect their health

2:13 pm

hego

true

2:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not so much thoughts, although that is a part of it, it is also unconscious process, memory, trauma and imprinted learning that happens on a preconscious level.

2:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What if we explored the outer galaxies, and discovered that the galaxy is actually the amygdala and we were outside and inside at the same time?

2:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or has that already been written in sci-fi?

2:15 pm

hego

probably

2:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Either Huxley or Disney.

2:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or HG Wells. Or Marvel Comics.

2:17 pm

hego

one of those.

2:19 pm

2:40 pm

hego

No fun for the bad boys, then

2:46 pm

The definition of an internet troll is very clear. Here it seems to depend on how much pity fishing one wants to do.

10:21 pm

Uneaixoise

hey jes :-)

10:24 pm

jesdraggon

hi unea, how goes?

10:25 pm

Uneaixoise

weary -- 2 dog transports today -- but all passengers were super sweet :-)

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

how far did you haul?

10:26 pm

Uneaixoise

<<<<<2 of the babies :-)

10:26 pm

Uneaixoise

300 miles total

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

nice

10:27 pm

Uneaixoise

one more in the morning :-)

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

only beasts I hauled today were my own - moved the horses into town because the fire's getting closer and I don't want to have to evacuate them in a hurry if we have to go

10:27 pm

Uneaixoise

omg that's so scary -- so sorry

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

eh. just a precaution; level 2 evacs are still probably 5 km off, and about 10 km of evac around fire

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

wouldn't have bothered today except that if we DO get evac notice, I'm supposed to help haul out my tech's critters too, and she's out of town...

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

which would mean loading my horses and hauling out, then coming back and loading her goats up... would rather take 1 trip if it gets to be a hurry.

10:31 pm

Uneaixoise

have big fear of fires -- think I got it from my dad who was in the gas and oil business and would totally freak whenever he heard the town fire siren -- we lived right across the street from his distribution plant . . .

10:32 pm

Uneaixoise

are the animals nervous? do they sense danger in the wings?

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

nope, they're fine. Other than one has runny eyes and I keep having asthma attacks from the smoke.

10:33 pm

Uneaixoise

any chance of rain?

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

we had about 3 minutes of decent rain today. not enough to even really settle the dust that the crazy-ass winds kick up.

10:35 pm

Uneaixoise

sigh . . . we had some totally unexpected rain today -- torrential for about 20 minutes . . . absolute bliss

10:36 pm

Uneaixoise

sending positive rain wishes your way!

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

checking weather.com for forecast

10:38 pm

Uneaixoise

FW . . . signing off and crossing fingers and toes for nice steady wet stuff to come your way!
