2:06 am

sprite

yeah but you didn't expect anything medicine-like to behave normally in your body, now did you?

2:07 am

grannyrose

that's 5 months, with time off for hepatitis. but we won't go there, will we?

2:07 am

sprite

not again we won't. Once was enough.

2:07 am

*giggles* oh, and my poor vicar. she is just about at her wits end planning for this funeral on Wednesday.

2:09 am

rururocks

2:10 am

sprite

yeah rose's liver couldn't handle one of her medicines. Sucks to be allergic to many meds.

rururocks

Maybe your vicar should bury her feelings?

2:10 am

sprite

2:10 am

rururocks

oh.. that is a real bummer rose

2:10 am

2:12 am

sprite

5:52 am

sukee

Good morning

6:33 am

lbdawger

gm, sukee

6:36 am

rubyfoo

hello ibd

6:37 am

rubyfoo

lonely in here

6:37 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Ruby. How are things?

6:37 am

JBV

bonjour ruby, still here?

6:37 am

JBV

hi Liz

6:37 am

rubyfoo

bonjour jbv

6:37 am

rubyfoo

hello liz

6:37 am

Lizlin

Hi JBV

6:38 am

rubyfoo

just reached half, a big accomplishment

6:38 am

lbdawger

hi ruby, jbv, liz

6:38 am

Lizlin

WTG

6:38 am

rubyfoo

painless but tired

6:38 am

Lizlin

Hi lbd

6:38 am

JBV

painless is good, tired can be fixed : )

6:38 am

Lizlin

Painless is very good. Tired is totally understandable.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

how, jbv?

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm taking less morphine, so thaty's a good thing

6:39 am

JBV

take a nap! or is it just a general tiredness that doesn't go away

6:40 am

Lizlin

And still painless with less morphine - has to be a good thing.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

general and situational (depression?)

6:40 am

Lizlin

Did I see that you were on a new regime of tablets?

6:41 am

JBV

yes, understandable of course -

6:41 am

rubyfoo

the hormone therapy will go on for another 2 1/2 months and then a new scan and blood test to see if it is working.

6:41 am

JBV

ruby, if I may ask, how do you get to your treatments? do you have someone to drive you

6:42 am

Lizlin

Will keep hoping and sending over positive vibes. Any help from the dil?

6:42 am

rubyfoo

It is a pleasure to take pills and not have regular chemo as they make you stay overnight in hospital here for chemo, and that won't work with this home situation

6:42 am

rubyfoo

When I have to see the doctor, not very often, my friend drives me. The pills are here at home and for the once-a-month shot, a nurse comes to the house

6:43 am

Lizlin

Seems as though that's the making the best of a very difficult situation.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

DIL got stuck in Montreal en route as her passport was less than 3 months from expiry and they wouldn't let her board the plane

6:43 am

JBV

the airwaves are throbbing with positive vibes over ruby's little corner of France - hope you can feel them, ruby

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I do, I do! You are all very kind

6:44 am

JBV

I never heard about that - with the passport- wonder if it's the same for the US

6:44 am

MollyL

Our Ruby is a tough little cookie. : D
Prayers out and candles lit for you Ruby.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I've also gotten a Burt-sitter for 2 hrs/day to give me a little peace

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Thank you, Molly.

6:44 am

Lizlin

I think it's the same with most countries - if your passport is near expiry, you can't travel.

6:45 am

MollyL

Burt sitter...I love it

6:45 am

JBV

that's great news ruby - every little bit helps

6:45 am

rubyfoo

My sister, surprisingly, told me yesterday that she thought I was strong, very surprising words coming from her

6:45 am

Lizlin

That's good that you've got a Burt-sitter. How is he with that?

6:45 am

gemini_J13

Yes,, passport,,, had a friend just delayed in Montreal because hers was 6 mos from expiring

6:45 am

MollyL

I'm glad your sister gave you some words of support, Ruby.

6:46 am

Lizlin

Me too.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

She's a little, chubby lady, my age, very sweet and praqctically has to sit on himto keep him from following me from room to room

6:46 am

Lizlin

And they're true words. You are very strong!

6:46 am

Lizlin

Good for her! It gives you a much needed break.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

Is that a new rule re: passports? I was surprised as she had a return ticket.

6:47 am

Lizlin

I think it's been around for quite a while. i've seen it as a condition when booking flights.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

Did I tell you that DIL had inadvertently sent me an e-mail, meant for someone else, including my last note to her about her father's deterioration? She said "I hope Nancy isn't expecting me to solve her problems."

6:48 am

MollyL

I think your passport has to be valid for six months in order to travel with it.

6:48 am

JBV

omg - does she know you saw it?

6:48 am

rubyfoo

She doesn't know I received it, but I was just as happy that she didn't come, knowing her true feelings now

6:48 am

Lizlin

That's a hell of a mistake!

6:49 am

MollyL

Well Ruby, at least you know where you stand with her now. But given her actions so far, it doesn't really surprise me.

6:49 am

Lizlin

How unpleasant for you to read that.

6:49 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, I already paid for the ticket!

6:49 am

JBV

if you see her, I would casually drop into the conversation, "You know I don't expect you to solve my problems, but I appreciate your helping out with your father."

6:49 am

Deeha

elephant is so close, wouldn't that have been nice!

6:50 am

Lizlin

Good one, JBV

6:50 am

rubyfoo

hi deeha

6:50 am

JBV

ha, just tried that myself, Deeha

6:51 am

rubyfoo

phantom: nepenthe

6:52 am

Lizlin

Now that one I didn't try ;)

6:52 am

MollyL

It is unfortunate that your husband has put such emotional distance between himself and his family that none of them feel inclined to give you some help with the current situation.

6:52 am

JBV

wow, ruby, you took me back a few years - there used to be a club in NYC called Nepenthe

6:52 am

rubyfoo

it's time to go into the airconditioned part of the house. We are having yet another heat wave, crazy weather

6:53 am

Deeha

Just had a trip to Tembe Elephant Park in SA where they have the biggest - and least nervous elephants in Africa. Amazing. Kept sayi8ng no more elephant photos but you just couldn't resist them

6:53 am

Lizlin

Look after yourself, Ruby - catch you soon.

6:53 am

Lizlin

That sounds amazing, Deeha.

6:53 am

Deeha

Goodness Ruby I am not far from you and I just wondered about putting another sweater on!!!!

6:53 am

JBV

take care, ruby

6:54 am

rubyfoo

He barely knows the names of his children, let alone the grandchildren or the greats! Not father-of-the-year material (or husband, for that matter).

6:55 am

Lizlin

Leaving my last 12 words until tomorrow. Enjoy your days, everyone.

6:56 am

rubyfoo

11:09 am

jesdraggon

'course, it's only supposed to rain today and then stop, which is not as good as it could be, but 12 straight hours of cold and wet can't be a bad thing for the fire fighting

11:10 am

rururocks

just no wind is good news

11:10 am

jesdraggon

yeah, we had some pretty crazy wind the past few days

11:10 am

Okay. Just found it. Weird.

12:23 pm

MollyL

I did a Google search on Vietnamese soup (just to check, I have heard of the soup even though I don't eat it) and it comes right up.

12:23 pm

cybernan

I wonder if google will disappear with win 10?

12:24 pm

jesdraggon

i get the soup part, it's the pace i'm missing.

12:24 pm

MollyL

Why would Google disappear with Windows 10?

12:24 pm

Uneaixoise

interest ra** . .. heart ra** . . .

12:24 pm

Jes, think of the pace at which your heart beats, then use the medical word for that

12:25 pm

cybernan

edge, the new browser will not accept the google tool bar

12:25 pm

Judi

MPH is your **** of speed, nan. Viet soup + MPH.

12:25 pm

MollyL

You can download any browser you want to use. You don't have to use what Windows provides.

12:25 pm

cybernan

or at least, I haven't figured out a way to get the google tool bar on the edge browser

12:25 pm

jesdraggon

thanks - i kept trying to get a gait in there

12:27 pm

Judi

Although, in Canada, that would be KPH.

12:27 pm

I have the google bar on windows 10 at work you have to manually install it

12:29 pm

cybernan

12:29 pm

Judi

He aint heavy, he's my broth.

12:29 pm

cybernan

I've tried downloading it and installing it

12:29 pm

cosdem

I had the IT department do it for me lol

12:29 pm

MollyL

You have to manually install any browser that Windows does not provide. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.

12:29 pm

Uneaixoise

judi LOL

12:29 pm

cybernan

are you using edge?

12:29 pm

rururocks

I don't want to switch to Windows 10.. it's supposedly too much like Windows 8

12:30 pm

cosdem

Not that happy with 10 but no choice at work

12:30 pm

MollyL

Otherwise, we would still all be using Internet Exploder.

12:30 pm

cybernan

I understand that, Molly, but I prefer edge to the other browsers

12:30 pm

Judi

That's a lot of soup. It must weigh at least won ton.

12:30 pm

cosdem

edge is a new name for IE

12:30 pm

cybernan

I like 10 a lot better than 8 and soon there will be no support for 7, so not much choice

12:30 pm

Uneaixoise

judi's been auditing ru's class LOL

12:31 pm

MollyL

I won't download Windows 10 until I read that it's been tweaked into user friendliness. I agree about Windows 8, it's a pain in the ass.

12:31 pm

cosdem

I have XP at home. we got the version from oldversion.com

12:31 pm

rururocks

I wish I still had xp.. I liked that one a lot

12:32 pm

Windows 7 has become ancient. I'm not surprised that support will soon be gone.

12:32 pm

Uneaixoise

12:32 pm

Fi4 is an anagram: "Fix it again, Tony."

12:37 pm

You can set up your own home page on any browser.

12:40 pm

Uneaixoise

12:41 pm

Okay. Googled the Chevaux. Looks like a VW Beetle. Sort of.

No offense, but your pup looks rather like a sheep in that photo. Must be the Scotland influence.

12:53 pm

MollyL

No way, I just don't spend big dollars on coffee in coffee shops.

12:54 pm

MollyL

I meant that I miss terms like fr5 because I don't drink lattes.

12:54 pm

Judi

Isn't a latte just a shot of espresso and a bunch of steamed milk?

12:55 pm

MollyL

Yes Judi, and if you add several shots of sugary syrup that covers most of what people buy at Starbucks.

12:55 pm

rururocks

I have an espresso machine. I make my own coffees.. and flip off star bucks and peets

12:56 pm

Judi

Not worth it. I just drink the home brew. Buy Trader Joes beans.

12:56 pm

Judi

Pl8 clue please?

12:56 pm

Judi

NM. It just jumped out at me.

12:56 pm

I like coffee. Espresso makes me want to fly around the neighborhood a few times.

12:56 pm

Once, when I was a girl [young], we stayed in a motel with a swimming pool. In the morning I went to see the pool again before left and there were eels in the pool. Someone said they had swum up the drain. I couldn't sim over a drain for many years

Sooooo not a rattlesnake. Common garden snake. About 16 inches long. Was healthy before he mowed its head off. I'm sort of dissapointed. Would have cut the rattle off and made him a key chain.

1:05 pm

poor snakey

rururocks

I have some great underwater photos of diving with a baby humpback whale in Hawaii

1:07 pm

Atalante

baby whales are easier to dive with . the grown ups get a bit big

1:07 pm

rururocks

I wanted to do in life what Ata does for a living or at least teach it.. but I got diverted into the wine biz and hedonistic living

1:07 pm

MollyL

Wow, diving with a baby humpback must have been an incredible experience.

1:07 pm

Atalante

sounds very sensible, ruru :D

1:08 pm

Judi

Ruru went over to the dark side long ago.

1:08 pm

Uneaixoise

wow ru . . .

1:08 pm

rururocks

it was.. we played with it for quite a while and then momma came and came in between us and they both left

1:08 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds like a Disney movie!

1:09 pm

MollyL

That sounds like one of those few and far between, breath taking experiences.

1:09 pm

rururocks

it's nice in Hawaii with the waters being so clear.. I think the baby was about 18-20 feet

1:09 pm

Judi

Whales are so awesome. I can't still can't believe some people hunt them.

1:09 pm

rururocks

me neither judi

1:09 pm

Atalante

I've dived with manta rays and dolphins and whale sharks. but only seen whales from the surface

1:09 pm

rururocks

I can't believe they shoot wolves too.. and Moose and lions and elephants and rhinos .. it's disgusting

1:10 pm

Uneaixoise

totally agree, ru

1:10 pm

rururocks

I have been diving with basking sharks ata.. they are huge

1:10 pm

Atalante

they are indeed

1:11 pm

MollyL

Sadly, some people will hunt whatever will make money for them. I understand hunting for food, but not for profit or sport.

1:11 pm

Judi

Oooh. I love basking sharks. They are incredibly beautiful.

1:12 pm

rururocks

I don't even understand hunting for food molly. I couldn't kill a thing

1:12 pm

Uneaixoise

same here, ru . . .

1:12 pm

rururocks

I was diving near Point Lobos and a gigantic group of them came in to Monterey Bay

1:12 pm

MollyL

Well Ru, then you would have to eat what you could grow, if it came to that.

1:13 pm

Judi

*dangles dead snake in air* Tastes like chicken!

1:14 pm

Fun, Ata. Dolphins are such show offs!

I went swimming once with beads braided into my hair. We were on a cruise, and swimming in the ocean, and something kept tugging at my braids... and I couldn't figure out what it was. Did you know that gar are practically invisible from directly beside them? They are the EXACT color of the water in the light...

1:24 pm

It would have been a LOT freakier (though I bet easier to see them) if they were the huge adults.

Hi Ata. I agree on the dolphin thing. I grew up watching Flipper. When, eventually , I swam with dolphins in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Kenya, I was shittified.

She's been gone a long time -- Doren and her daughter "do NY" pretty often -- she's the one I'd connect with :-)

2:49 pm

MollyL

Ruby? Ruby hasn't been gone a long time. She was here today.

2:52 pm

Soodle

Thanks Molly. I was speaking to Ruby about 2 hours ago, but that was before The Amazing Soodle Kids awarded me my gift. I am still absolutely dumbfounded!

2:52 pm

Uneaixoise

gone from New York!! LOL

2:52 pm

that is so cool, Soodle.....very happy for you!

Oh sorry Une, misunderstood. Well Soodle and Ruby can catch up on other things when Soodle goes to visit Ruby.

2:55 pm

Uneaixoise

when's Soodle visiting Ruby? Soon?

2:55 pm

Soodle

Yes. Hopefully I'll get to visit Ruby before Winter. Sigh. France in Autumn, New York in Winter. Social globetrotting butterfly- thats me!

Not sure, I thought it was sooner than later.

wouldn't it be better for your kids to make a few house payments soodle?

3:08 pm

MollyL

Ah yes, Soodle. I couldn't remember what happened. I thought perhaps your visit with Ruby was put off because of your obligations to your elderly parents.

3:14 pm

could I get help with the AT words?

Soodle, when will you be in NY. Maybe I can arrange a visit with friends at the same time.

3:38 pm

penquis

she said December...

3:41 pm

MollyL

Yes, I think down below it says France in Autumn and New York in December. But probably better to check with Soodle since she seems to have a big traveling schedule in store.

3:47 pm

I checked back in the log. 12/9-12/14 for Soodle's visit to NYC

3:51 pm

Soodle is lucky to have kids that will send her on international travel trips.

3:52 pm

penquis

yes!

3:53 pm

rururocks

it's in the tracking room next to the PB..

4:04 pm

Soodle

To clarify. Yes. I had hoped to visit Rubyfoo this Summer. However, these plans were put on hold as my 83 yr old mother underwent neurosurgery roughly the same time as Ruby was diagnosed with cancer.. And yes. My home is in jeopardy to the bank. And yes. It seems my kids feel that a good holiday might benefit their mother.

4:04 pm

penquis

well i think you deserve a nice unexpected vacation...

4:07 pm

ChampFit

I think I would keel right over if my kids gave me a vacation...so very awesome for you!

4:10 pm

MollyL

Me too, Champ. My kids and I are working people. An expensive vacation is not what I am expecting from them. But that's okay. We do well with the simple life.

4:13 pm

Soodle

I guess I am

4:13 pm

Soodle

blessed!

4:14 pm

I would too Champ...but I don't have any kids.. so I'd keel over twice if that happened :D

My kids are hard working people. They work damn hard. Nothing came easy to my kids. Which makes me so appreciative of their thoughtful present.

Entangled in the telephunk;

The louder buzzed the telepheeâ€”

Of elephop and telephong!)

that's really cute ch.. what's that from?

4:32 pm

I don't know, ru... I learned it as a young child in one of my nursery books. Remember poetry has always been easy for me.

4:33 pm

ch1212

oops, remembering, that is.

4:33 pm

Soodle

My estranged husband ran up a myriad of debts. When he defaulted on these debts, a judgement mortgage was put on the property. The people to whom he owes this money are now calling in the debts & are demanding that the house be sold.

4:33 pm

Oh, soodle, I'm so, so sorry.

4:34 pm

Eletelephony is a poem you can find at all poetry.com

4:37 pm

ch1212

Thanks, tceicher.

4:38 pm

tceicher

I owe that information to Google

4:38 pm

Soodle

no I'm not, Ruru, because you cant divorce somebody in absentia. he just absconded. He is in SE Aisa - perhaps thailand, probably Philippines.

4:39 pm

rururocks

holy cow. that's unbelievable

4:39 pm

rururocks

can't you get a judgment freeing you from his charges since he's been missing or are you screwed because you're still married to him.

4:40 pm

MollyL

I was going to ask the same question Ru did. Laws are different in different countries. Here, you can divorce someone who takes off, after a certain amount of time. And that is a tricky situation you are in because you are responsible for debt that the two of you entered into. Have you spoken with an attorney?

4:40 pm

rururocks

maybe your kids can pay for an attorney instead of a trip

4:41 pm

Soodle

Believe it! Our kids were 16, 14 & 11 when he took off. Difficult ages at the best if times.

4:41 pm

Soodle

No

4:42 pm

rururocks

that seems incredible that you'd be held responsible for his debt if he's been gone that long...but maybe that is different here in America like Molly said

4:42 pm

Soodle

I was a director of his company.

4:46 pm

rururocks

still. I would think an attorney might be the way to go to get relief from most or at least some of the debt. what an asshole to dump all that on you and the kids

4:47 pm

lynxxx

...and the moral here LADIES is to never become a director/owner of your husbands companies no matter how much emotional pressure they put on you. By the skin of my teeth I was nearly in Soodles position. Good luck Soodle - whatever happens you are well rid of him - a stone around your neck - and your kids admire and love you obviously which is the most important.

4:52 pm

MollyL

Yes indeed Lynxxx, mixing marriage and business is often something that backfires later.

4:53 pm

rururocks

my ex and I have worked together in the biz for 25 years.. it's been good for us... although we are divorced now (partly due to working together)

4:54 pm

rururocks

it can be done.. but it can also be really, really hard to do

4:59 pm

MollyL

I guess Soodle is lucky that it took nine years for the debt collectors to catch up with her end of this.

5:01 pm

rururocks

it seems unfair to me that they don't try and track his butt down in the southeast

5:04 pm

MollyL

When you are the co-owner of a debt (like if you co-sign a car loan) you are responsible if the other person defaults. Which is why it is a VERY good idea never to become the co-owner of a debt. You never know.

5:06 pm

MollyL

After all I have heard from women who have been screwed like this, I don't even believe in joint checking accounts anymore.

5:07 pm

MollyL

And to be fair, I am sure men have been screwed the same way. I have only heard stories from women, which is why I stated it the way I did.

5:08 pm

Soodle

Thanks for the positive comments, guys. What this asshole did to our kids is Incalcuable. At the end of the day, my home is merely bricks & mortar. That my kids a) survived - and b) became generous,worthwhile, decent human beings is pretty much all I care about.

5:09 pm

penquis

Exactly!

5:14 pm

MollyL

I find it horrible that in Ireland you cannot divorce someone who has been gone for nine years. Here in these United States, it's a year and then you can file.

5:22 pm

MimiCat

You don't even want to know what my ex did to me in our divorce, about which I knew nothing until a year later. Suffice to say he owes me about $40,000 which I will never see.

5:23 pm

MimiCat

And I had to pay our back taxes for 1998 last year.

5:25 pm

HarryHood

hi mimi. sorry about your rotten ex.

5:27 pm

MollyL

Wow Mimi, and you are still friendly with him?

5:32 pm

MimiCat

I was, Molly, for the sake of "family harmony" but not now that he lied "to my face" on the phone about a VERY sensitive and important issue that we experienced TOGETHER. He denies it and that's the last straw for me. That conflict caused me to have a miscarriage so to lie to ME about it is now more than I can take. He also wants (expects) me to be friends with his girlfriend---the woman he was seeing BEFORE we split up who was also married. What planet does he think that's going to happen on?!

5:33 pm

MimiCat

The kids are grown now and, luckily, my daughter is starting to see her father in a more realistic light...through no fault of mine, just his.

5:36 pm

MimiCat

Already warned him he's better not bring that woman around me or I will verbally rip her a new one!

Bad here in Phoenix, too, jes, but at least not the major fires elsewhere...just dry. We have two seasons in Phoenix...heaven and hell. Luckily, we're in the process of leaving hell and entering heaven.

5:43 pm

jesdraggon

hope everything stays calm down there, mimi :)

5:44 pm

MimiCat

Since I got my pt job back, been working lots every day to try to get them caught up. Done for today (started at 5 am) finally and have a headache so bowing out for now in favor of rest and, hopefully, a nap. Good Sunday, all and hugs.

5:45 pm

jesdraggon

rest well, feel better

5:48 pm

rururocks

I see that wildcat is lurking.. perhaps she'd come up with a plan for a fundraiser for Soodle.. she's really good at them

5:53 pm

serenitynow

You don't miss much either. Do you?

5:53 pm

rururocks

but usually just the first batch of checks get to the right person.. she tends to keep the rest

5:53 pm

rururocks

me? serenity? No I don't

5:54 pm

serenitynow

Neither do I.

5:54 pm

jesdraggon

unlike me. I miss all the things.

5:55 pm

rururocks

you certainly have a penchant for foul avatars though

5:56 pm

serenitynow

Just trying to add a little humor.

5:56 pm

rururocks

oh sure.. that's really humorous..

5:56 pm

serenitynow

It's just a joke.

5:57 pm

rururocks

I'm sure someone's grandkids on the site will take it that way..

5:57 pm

serenitynow

I've seen worse here.

5:58 pm

jesdraggon

You feeling okay, ru?

5:58 pm

rururocks

I bet you have

5:58 pm

rururocks

never better jes. I'm doing fine

5:59 pm

serenitynow

I'll change it, just for you. I think you're a pretty funny guy. You appreciate a good joke.

6:01 pm

serenitynow

Like this one better?

6:01 pm

Good Evening Everyone.

7:11 pm

penquis

hi nef....

7:11 pm

Nef

Hi pen, how are you today?

7:14 pm

penquis

fine, thanks...you??

7:16 pm

Nef

(writing in the word box again!

7:17 pm

penquis

haven't seen you in a while....

7:17 pm

Nef

I'm lazy; I've spent the past 3 days helping my daughter move

7:17 pm

penquis

ah...that's work1

7:17 pm

Nef

So I haven't even been on the computer until just now

7:19 pm

Nef

(I was the cleaner and sort of traffic director as her friends hauled stuff in the house

7:20 pm

Nef

I have a bum knee and have finally decided that since it's been a month of this, I need to go to the doctor & get it checked out. :-(

7:20 pm

penquis

good idea...

7:21 pm

Nef

Yeah, it's about time.

7:21 pm

Nef

How about you?

7:21 pm

Nef

(don't you have a bum joint too?)

7:22 pm

penquis

i have tendonitis in my arm...

7:23 pm

penquis

have been getting injections and massages.....better now....

7:23 pm

penquis

a physiatrist was helpful....

7:26 pm

Nef

ouch! Could you knit with it hurting?

7:27 pm

penquis

i can knit for a while without pain....

7:28 pm

penquis

the needles just included a little numbing agent....apparently just dry needles are as helpful, but medicare would not pay for dry needling....

7:28 pm

Nef

LOL! Kind of like I can walk for a while without pain, huh?

7:29 pm

Nef

Oh My! I wonder if acupuncture would help (not that Medicare would cover *that* I'm sure!)

7:29 pm

penquis

i am knitting now without pain... physiatrist also gave me some analgesic/anti-inflammatory cream to use...

7:30 pm

penquis

my needling is not acupuncture....needles go deeper...

7:30 pm

Nef

that's good.

7:30 pm

Nef

ok

7:32 pm

penquis

i have to pay the total cost of the arm massages (a half hour a week for the last couple months).....it has helped...

7:35 pm

Nef

Oh, Good that's it's working!

7:35 pm

Nef

(sorry I had a phone call, a text msg. *

7:36 pm

penquis

np...

7:36 pm

Nef

and DH all interrupting me at once)

7:38 pm

Nef

Is it a special type of massage that you could do yourself too?

7:39 pm

penquis

it's myofascial (sp?) massage....hard to message one's own arm with one hand... ;o)

7:41 pm

Nef

true;

7:42 pm

Nef

and myofascial massage is pretty deep, isn't it?

7:42 pm

penquis

yes....gets the knots out of the fascia (that white cellophane looking stuff)....

7:45 pm

Nef

yeah, unfortunately I've had fascitis before too. No circulation & doesn't like getting upset. (((pen)))

7:46 pm

Nef

(mine was in my foot, so a bit easier to deal with on my own after being taught

7:46 pm

penquis

ty...i think my fascia has been too tight my whole life....always has hurt if someone taps me in the upper arm...

7:47 pm

penquis

yes, i had plantar fasciitis in my foot before, too.....ok now....as long as i wear shoes with good arch and heel support...

7:47 pm

Nef

really? wow... that's not good.

7:48 pm

Nef

Fascia bundles the muscle fibers together;

7:48 pm

stidmama

hey all -- how's the grid today?

7:49 pm

penquis

hi....it's not as bad as it looks... ;o)

7:49 pm

stidmama

:-) LOL good!

7:50 pm

Nef

I wondered why it didn't stretch out to allow my muscles to move better. I had it after my foot surgery; I'm stuck in orthotics for good myself now. :-( (the down side of aging; but it's better than the alternative!)

7:50 pm

penquis

for sure!

7:51 pm

Nef

*I* think it's tougher than it looks myself...

7:51 pm

penquis

i found i could guess at a lot of words....

7:52 pm

Nef

LOL! I've been guessing a lot of words & it keeps telling me that the word isn't in this grid! :-)

7:52 pm

penquis

lol...

7:52 pm

stidmama

I guess I will just monkey for a few minutes... dinner will be ready soon and I am going to try to get to sleep early because tomorrow is a "must do" day at school. So I really cannot get up late!

7:53 pm

Nef

(((stid))) Are you enjoying it? You always sound so wrapped up in the prep work

7:55 pm

stidmama

I am, Nef -- not all of it, of course, but all this work this summer will pay off in spades. I know where things are in the classroom (the issue with inheriting a classroom from a teacher just before school started) and have already pulled together the main components for the first two weeks. I won't be putting in 14-hour days this year!

7:56 pm

harpjane

hello 50 to go

7:56 pm

Nef

That's good to hear, stid.

7:56 pm

Nef

Hi harp!

7:56 pm

penquis

hi harp...

7:57 pm

stidmama

ah, Grant is home with his cohort... just in time for supper. Hope they're hungry! :-)

7:58 pm

Nef

Being a nurse, & being raised by a teacher; I know that these are 2 professions that you can give your heart & soul to and burn out way too early.

7:59 pm

harpjane

does the pl8 build on the 5?

7:59 pm

stidmama

Have a great evening all -- got down to 84! Back in the swing of school, so likely won't be online much during the week again. And yes, Nef - I am being very careful about not overdoing it. :-D

*poof*

8:00 pm

Nef

bye stid! Take Care!

8:00 pm

Nef

sorry harp, I don't have it yet; but will look

8:04 pm

Nef

nope, harp, it doesn't. Do you want a clue?

8:05 pm

harpjane

no, I mined the chog and ghot it!

8:05 pm

harpjane

got it

8:05 pm

Nef

8:09 pm

harpjane

penquis

8:10 pm

harpjane

thanks!

8:11 pm

penquis

yw...

8:12 pm

Nef

I'm so worried about putting words in the chog I forget to switch to chog when I clue now!

8:12 pm

penquis

don't worry about that....it happens.....

8:13 pm

Nef

wow! Someo of these words are really twisty tonight!

8:14 pm

harpjane

found an ungulate

8:15 pm

Nef

I found a fish. ;-)

8:16 pm

harpjane

earlier i had a reptile

8:16 pm

Nef

I got it; and the needle case

8:17 pm

Nef

I see I found the ungulate too now

8:24 pm

penquis

i am heading out.....goodnight all!

8:24 pm

Nef

Good Night pen. Take Care!

8:25 pm

penquis

8:57 pm

harpjane

8:58 pm

Nef

I have 50 left; got both 8's but haven't found a 7 yet.

8:58 pm

Nef

8:59 pm

Nef

8:59 pm

Nef

Hi, Min! How are you?

9:00 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How's everyone doing

9:00 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

9:00 pm

rururocks

*marks down minver's progress*

9:00 pm

Minveryork

Hi Nef! How are you?I'm well. Have not been here in ages!

9:01 pm

Nef

I noticed! I miss seeing you here

9:02 pm

rururocks

we had a shrine built for your absence minver

9:02 pm

Minveryork

Thank you Nef! I miss being here. Thought I would be here more often after summer school, but did not quite happen

9:02 pm

rururocks

I think penquis was on candle lighting duties

9:03 pm

rururocks

I did the incense lighting and chanting..

9:03 pm

harpjane

found horsie\

9:03 pm

Minveryork

Not sure my absence deserved that, but thanks rururocks!I am so honored! So where is the shrine, in the Penalty Box?

9:03 pm

Nef

LOL!

9:03 pm

rururocks

the room right next door to the PB minver

9:04 pm

Minveryork

I am finished! I have fireworks! ta5/10 was my final word.

9:04 pm

Nef

(we've had to put up with ruru's humor more since you've been gone; he behaves better when there are teachers around! ;-)

9:04 pm

rururocks

yay minver

9:04 pm

harpjane

good for you minver

9:04 pm

rururocks

*notifies dr god another one of us has nailed the grid*

9:04 pm

Minveryork

Too tired to to a story, but I will be here to clue if needed.

9:05 pm

Nef

YAY, Minveryork!!! WTG!!!

9:05 pm

Minveryork

Check out my profile.Pic of my dog in the pool with his pal

9:06 pm

Nef

I noticed! New friend?

9:06 pm

rururocks

I saw it earlier it's very cute

9:06 pm

rururocks

I'm putting a pool in at my new house

9:07 pm

Nef

What type of dog is Jack's friend?

9:07 pm

Minveryork

I do not have a pool. Don't want one, but it is very nice to have friends with a pool. Going to a pool party tomorrow.

9:08 pm

rururocks

a puggle

9:08 pm

Minveryork

He is a Puggle.He loves the pool, but Jack HATES the pool!

9:08 pm

Minveryork

Have to force him to go in. When he gets out, he is so mad he snorts&runs around and rolls in the grass to dry himself.

9:10 pm

Nef

Is he really furry? My friend has 2 king charles spaniels, 1 loves the water & the older one doesn't (but the older one is considerably furrier too)

9:11 pm

Nef

harp, I got a 7; ph 7/36.

9:15 pm

Minveryork

Jack gets pretty furry. Jack is about to get his 3rd summer hair cut. We let it grow out long in the wintertime though.

9:16 pm

Minveryork

There is also an he7/36 word harpjane. Which one U need

9:16 pm

Nef

Thanks, Min.

9:20 pm

Nef

brb

9:24 pm

Nef

back. (the previous msg from me was somewhere in space; I've landed back on earth now! ;-)

9:25 pm

Nef

40 words left; time to hit lickety's list.

9:28 pm

Minveryork

So how many people tried entering "Neptu4/5"?Thought it was a good find. Was disappointed it wasn't taken,though.

9:28 pm

Nef

same here, Min.

9:29 pm

Minveryork

Phantom words for me today were again,fortune, & origin

9:30 pm

Nef

tagia,toupee, & elephant have been my worst ones today

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Oh, those are BETTER phantoms! I do see them now Nef.

9:32 pm

Nef

LOL! I never saw you phantoms until you said them either! That's the trouble with phantoms, someone says them & then that's just about all you see! :-D

9:33 pm

Nef

(and toga also)

9:33 pm

Minveryork

I should be absent more often. I just checked my rank. I'm 1,001.I've never have been in the quadruple digits before.

9:34 pm

Nef

NO! Don't be absent so much.

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Rank is still pretty sad compared to other babblers though.

9:35 pm

Nef

I never check my rank very often; If I start thinking about the rankings; I'll get addicted again. This way I play for fun -- and chat. ;-) (not that anyone would notice, of course)

9:55 pm

rururocks

I don't worry about rankings ... except for Dart :D

9:56 pm

Nef

Glad you aded that last part, ruru. :-)

10:24 pm

Aloyisius

hi everyone.. back to finish.. glad I checked, thought I finished this morning

10:25 pm

Nef

Hi Aloys. It's pretty quiet here now

10:25 pm

Aloyisius

ok.. am going to list with 20 left, hope the remainder are not tuffies

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Hello Aloysius!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

10:27 pm

Nef

Well, I still have 4 left (but I had to stop & watch the fireworks for the state Fair. We're about 4 miles from the fair grounds so we get to watch the finale every night

10:27 pm

Aloyisius

thanks, Minver.. had a good day, did some mowing outside in the sunshine (-:

10:29 pm

Aloyisius

that was with a walk-behind mower, so the exercise was good

10:31 pm

Minveryork

Good for you Aloysius! I have NEVER mowed my lawn. My husband mows the lawn, but he has a rider mower, easy.

10:31 pm

Aloyisius

and who does the weeding?

10:32 pm

Aloyisius

I prefer the yardwork to housework bc it stays looking nice longer, lol

10:33 pm

Nef

Now THAT's the truth, Aloy!

10:34 pm

Aloyisius

yup, yesterday I cleaned the kitchen floor.. wouldn't know it now!

10:35 pm

Minveryork

My husband does all of the yard word.He's very good at it

10:36 pm

Aloyisius

we share yardwork and cooking.. guess who cooked tonight.. oh well

10:36 pm

Aloyisius

(can't complain)

10:37 pm

rururocks

I cooked here too

10:37 pm

rururocks

and I did yard work and Laundry and mopped the floors :D

10:38 pm

Aloyisius

so nice ..

10:38 pm

Nef

today while I was out dealing with my pathetic garden and feeling sorry for myself because the squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits are decimating it; I was thinking that it's getting to be more than I can handle & maybe we should get a place without a yard. However, now that I think of it; I probably should get a smaller house too

10:40 pm

Aloyisius

or.. do container gardening.. or put up a fence.. a raised garden? depends on how much you love it.. we joined a CGA and only grow a couple of veggies now

10:40 pm

Minveryork

I really want to downsize too. Had a realtor come look at my house today. Not thrilled with estimate she gave me.

10:40 pm

Nef

Good for you, ruru. If DH is in the kitchen, it's a total disaster lately. But with me being at my daughter's this weekend, he must have figured out how messy he is! He cleaned up after himself and even did a load of dishes!

10:40 pm

rururocks

I'm hoping to buy a smaller house now nef.. I have had a big house.. now I don't need the space

10:41 pm

rururocks

now I'll be happy with 1200-1400 square feet

10:41 pm

Aloyisius

oh oh.. the odor of skunk just came through the window!

10:41 pm

rururocks

oh oh

10:41 pm

Nef

We do do container gardening but also have 2 smaller raised gardens for tomatoes, Aloy.

10:42 pm

Aloyisius

peeyoo.. getting stronger

10:42 pm

Nef

Oh-oh! That's not good!

10:42 pm

Aloyisius

brb, going to investigate..

10:42 pm

kje

ph7?

10:43 pm

rururocks

the pace at which one eats Vietnamese soup ph7

10:43 pm

Nef

Once BOTH kids have their stuff out of here; I'm seriously considering downsizing to 2 bedrooms and under 1000 sq. ft. total; maybe a condo? Not sure right now...

10:44 pm

Minveryork

A ph 7/36 word is ep 8/50 word minus the first letter kje

10:44 pm

Nef

LOL, ruru! Perfect pun on that one!

10:44 pm

Minveryork

Hello kje! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

10:44 pm

rururocks

:D

10:45 pm

Nef

hi kje.

10:45 pm

kje

ty

10:45 pm

kje

hi all

10:46 pm

rururocks

hi ya doc

10:46 pm

Nef

final word ro 6/18 & it took me until now to find it (& it was an easy one too)

10:46 pm

rururocks

yes nef..it's kind of hidden

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Nef on your fireworks display! Way to go!

10:46 pm

kje

how about... the price one pays for vietnamese soup

10:47 pm

rururocks

that works too..

10:47 pm

rururocks

and when you've had too much .. it's pho nuff

10:47 pm

Nef

thanks

10:48 pm

Nef

or phoful

10:48 pm

rururocks

or if you can't eat it again it's pho no mo'

10:49 pm

Aloyisius

hi kje.. closed the downstairs windows.. I'm upstairs and the odor is still here. The skunk has moved on, thank goodness

10:49 pm

rururocks

or if it is on special at the restaurant it is usually called 1-2

10:51 pm

rururocks

actually if it is comp'd at the restaurant it is called 1-2

10:52 pm

kje

I have smoke from something burning coming in my windows... can't tell from where though

10:52 pm

rururocks

hmm

10:52 pm

Nef

are you out west, Kje?

10:53 pm

rururocks

no one wants to know why it's called 1-2 for comp'd pho?

10:53 pm

kje

I even googled the fire and police scanner to see if I could hear about anything.... instead, I heard the description of a man, exposing his penis, heading west on market street

10:53 pm

kje

not close to THE fires, new... in SF

10:53 pm

kje

why ru?

10:53 pm

Minveryork

When Jack smells a skunk in the house he runs around from room to rom barking like crazy! If he was outside he would go running after it. I guess my dog does not remember getting sprayed by a skunk two time before

10:53 pm

rururocks

well for once that's not me kje

10:54 pm

rururocks

I hate market streeet

10:54 pm

rururocks

1-2 free pho of course :D

10:54 pm

kje

taught me not to turn on the scanner

10:54 pm

kje

ugh

10:55 pm

rururocks

that's a joke at my friend's Vietnamese restaurant :D

10:55 pm

Nef

<groan>

10:55 pm

Aloyisius

pretty good one

10:55 pm

nrkii

I remember being in SF and smelling the fires from Oakland, many years ago. It was creepy and sad.

10:55 pm

rururocks

yay!!!!!!!

10:56 pm

rururocks

oh yeah nrkii.. the Oakland fires were awful

10:56 pm

Nef

With that, I need to go now. Happy Babbling, Everyone! Good Night (no ru, it isn't All your bad jokes, I'm tired.)
<poof!>

10:59 pm

I was much more dramatic about it. I threw myself into a door with my face.
