hi, all. there is one advantage to being knee deep in blog setup. I'm spending so much time with words, Babble is a breeze...
1:34 am
flosey
what do the 8 and 9 start with, please
1:42 am
dcseain
yes, se. Very wiggly
1:44 am
Angelsong
also lyrical
1:47 am
dcseain
and hopefully melodic
1:54 am
flosey
must get to bed, falling asleep here1
1:54 am
flosey
goodnight all
1:56 am
flosey
have to take drivers test tomorrow - so not looking forward to it!
2:10 am

feeling stressed just because, or worried about passing...?
2:15 am
cosdem
hi all. first words were se8/9!
2:21 am
mrpresident
evening all :)
2:23 am
flosey
stressed because, dc. they're trying to get old timers off the road - first a (very silly) computerized test, and failing that, road test in a town where I havent driven for years
2:25 am
flosey
any clues, cos?
2:26 am
cosdem
song, melody etc
2:26 am
mrpresident
hi flosey. You will do fine hun
2:26 am
cosdem
all the letters are in the last two rows
2:26 am
cosdem
hi flo and mrp!
2:26 am
mrpresident
hi cos :)
2:27 am
mrpresident
flosey, have you done a test yet??
2:27 am
cosdem
grr one short from nbt and its a lone tile
2:27 am
flosey
ah, thanks cos, got it right away
2:28 am
flosey
I have done the computerized test and it's one that you cannot, yourself, judge as to how you did!! truly is ridiculous
2:29 am
mrpresident
we have online tests that you can practice ... tells you what you did and didn't get right... you can't access that through your motor registry??
2:30 am
cosdem
ugh nbt nbs.. stupid B
2:30 am
flosey
have not been road tested in BC since 1961!! - we moved back to Ontario for 30 years, (retested there and got it, of course) now back here for 20. I don't remember taking another when we returned here
2:30 am
mrpresident
boof is not a word :((
2:31 am
cosdem
I tried boof myself. ugh flo im sorry.. the govt seems to despise older people.. whatever happened to the days when they were looked up to :(
2:32 am
mrpresident
boof is an idiot.. very well known and used word here
2:32 am
flosey
bo6, there was a song about that - tadadada, don't cry over me
2:33 am
flosey
no idea who it might have been who sand it, a female group
2:33 am
flosey
maybe Andrew sisters
2:33 am
cosdem
flosey just said a clue for the B word in one of her comments :)
2:34 am
mrpresident
omg you are so gifted flosey
2:34 am
mrpresident
boofah should be a word too
2:35 am
mrpresident
is what you call a small idiot child
2:35 am
flosey
have not heard that one mrp
2:36 am
cosdem
Boof was the name of Michael J Fox's girlfriend in Teen Wolf I think
2:36 am
mrpresident
boofhead is the standard for our aussie males
2:39 am
mrpresident
you are a movie trivia legend cos :)
2:41 am
cosdem
I think I figured out why. I have a photogenic memory. When I see a word I remember it. I read captions/subtitles so maybe it all sticks in :)
2:41 am
mrpresident
reading is the best building block for remembering
2:42 am
cosdem
Thats how I am able to find so many words here without knowing what they mean lol.. entering them so many times
2:42 am
mrpresident
it is true cos! I came back to babble after a long time and automatically entered words that I had learnt and seen over again
2:44 am
cosdem

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend :) How was your day? And blechhhh @ the effects of the infusion wearing off already. When is the next one scheduled?
3:05 am
grannyrose
should be next monday sweetie. it's been 3 weeks already.
3:06 am
sprite
ok! That is beginning to look like a workable schedule then.
3:07 am
grannyrose
how was your night, dearest?
3:08 am
sprite
I slept ok. Better start of the day than yesterday too. Am sitting here with my 9 pills and a glass of optimel drink. Once that is inside, I'll wait a half hour and then try a banana.
3:09 am
grannyrose
hope it all goes down well, honey. and more importantly, stays down. xoxox
3:09 am
sprite
too true. Ah well, this too, shall pass. Right?
3:10 am
grannyrose
yeah, but the same way it went down.....you poor thing. btw did you ask your doc about an antiemetic?
3:12 am
sprite
I asked and they said they can prescribe me one if I keep vomiting and being nauseated. Or ask my gp for one and she can call them anytime to discuss which one. Haven't gotten around to it though.
3:14 am
grannyrose
okay. just keep an account of the episodes as they happen. you may just need an antacid.
3:15 am
sprite
will do. *hugs*
3:17 am
sprite
woot I found the 8/9 all by myself :D
3:19 am

Howdy Rose! I am having a lazy morning (between jobs) and so am still in bed. But I shall shower soon
3:21 am
mattygroves
Sorry to here you guys aren't feeling brilliant :(
3:22 am
grannyrose
lizlin was really chuffed. she found them as her third and fourth words.
3:22 am
sprite
lazy mornings are the best :)
3:22 am
grannyrose
what sprite said....lollll
3:22 am
sprite
wow for Liz! Smart girl she is. I had only 30 left when I finally found them, lol. I am biggie blind.
3:23 am
mattygroves
I am biggy blind and vowel blind
3:23 am
sprite
vowel words don't come easy to me either.
3:23 am
mattygroves
I am still missing the O in the top row fourth column and th eR in the lower left corner
3:24 am
mattygroves
And, of course, 47 other words ;)
3:24 am
sprite
ob4 is the O.
3:25 am
sprite
and re4 is the R.
3:25 am
mattygroves
Thanks Sprite! Sometimes seeing the stats is enough for a lightbulb moment
3:25 am
grannyrose
*giggles* i monkeyed that one
3:25 am
mattygroves
Feel silly now
3:25 am
sprite
absolutely. Works that way for me too, often.
3:25 am
sprite
why feel silly? They are not obvious words. I have never used them in convo.
3:26 am
sprite
give the monkeys a banana, lol. They do such great work for us.
3:26 am
mattygroves
True. That's true of many babblets though. Though I do manage to drop the needle case in from time to time. It's a common answer in the NYT crossword and my mum was hugely disappointed when she learned it wasn't pronounced 'et-ew-ee'
3:27 am
grannyrose
it's a french word isn't it?
3:27 am
sprite
hehehe babblets are so much fun. In scrabble too.
3:28 am
mattygroves
Tis - also used in a few other languages (including German, I believe)
3:28 am
sprite
yes it is french. It means container. In english, the meaning is more specialised, to needle case.
3:28 am
grannyrose
yup, it is. *smug look * the GR dictionary strikes again.
3:29 am
sprite
we use it in dutch too, and for us it means a container made of fabric, with a zipper usually, in which you can stow your pens and stuff.
3:34 am
sprite
fireflies. A rather easy grid again.
3:35 am
sprite
a big *hug* for the two of you. Rose, sleep well and without pain :) Matty, have a lovely lazy day!
3:36 am

6:28 am
bichon
Lucky you dawg
6:28 am
bichon
I've made do with window and ceiling fans this summer
6:29 am
Anniebrook
That should be helpful. I cannot wait for cooler weather.
6:30 am
bichon
That would be Thursday. Rain too. We haven't had rain here in almost a month
6:30 am
bichon
why do I always think erse is a word?
6:30 am
Anniebrook
We are having the same weather. We really could use a good downpour here.
6:31 am
bichon
My entire garden is wilting. I don't think a lot of things are going to recover
6:32 am
lbdawger
with all the fires around us, the rain and the cooler temps have been a god send.
6:32 am
bichon
Mr. Bich was evacuated in Northern Idaho. He was leading a Sierra club service trip
6:32 am
Anniebrook
dawg, I am hoping they get the fires under control. Scary situation.
6:33 am
Anniebrook
bichon, Is Mr. Bichon home?
6:34 am
Anniebrook
be right back, going to start the coffeemaker.
6:34 am
bichon
NO, now he's an assistant leader on a trip in Northwestern Spain. Gorgeous. That's it for the year
6:36 am

Good morning.
6:37 am

6:37 am

6:38 am
sukee
Spend a couple of hours at emergency this morning.
6:38 am
bichon
no, alas. His ego needs feeding )))
6:38 am
bichon
what happened sukee
6:39 am
Anniebrook
sukee, oh dear, what happened
6:39 am
sukee
I've been in paid for a few days and can't really sleep. Found a rash this morning and went to the emergency. Turns out I have shingles.
6:39 am
sukee
It's early so with starting the treatment it should not be so bad.
6:40 am
sukee
Now I just have to wait until the drug store opens because the doctor wants me to take a dosage right away.
6:40 am
Uneaixoise
oh, sukee, so sorry -- how miserable :-(
6:40 am
sukee
That in been in pain
6:40 am
bichon
Too bad sukee, I've had them. Fortunately, there is medicine and a shot for them
6:40 am
lbdawger
oh dear, poor sukee. glad you caught it in the early stages
6:40 am
sukee
I didn't even know I had chicken pox as a kid.
6:40 am
bichon
We've all had it.
6:40 am
sukee
Got me some pain killers too so hopefully I can get some sleep today.
6:41 am
Anniebrook
sukee, Shingles is not fun. Take the the med as soon as you can. I had shingles too. You caught it early which is good.
6:41 am
sukee
And of course, it's pouring out today.
6:41 am
sukee
The nerve pain was going on for a week, I just thought it was a pulled muscle.
6:42 am
sukee
It is on my back so it hurts to sit and lie down.
6:42 am
bichon
Get your doctor to give you the immunization too so it doesn't come back. It's a condition of a certain age group (60's)
6:42 am
sukee
One patch is right on my spine. Yes, I will get that shot even though it's not covered.
6:42 am
Anniebrook
I took the shingles vaccine and got shingles anyway.
6:43 am
zoozzoom
Whiney crying, Bichon.
6:43 am
sukee
I thought I would have to stay in but the doctors says it's okay as long as it's covered.
6:43 am
bichon
that's too bad Annie
6:44 am
sukee
Thank you zoo.
6:44 am
sukee
I can't wait to get my bra off either, it's irritating one spot.

6:45 am
zoozzoom
Someone who blubbers?
6:45 am
zoozzoom
To weep noisily
6:45 am
Anniebrook
I had it on my back but the vaccine kept it to a minimum. No bra for me until it cleared up
6:46 am
bichon
my shorts kept rubbing at it. Had to wear something else
6:47 am
zoozzoom
varicella zoster virus.

I am so agitated about Primo Nephew being a narcissistic jerk and father. I am so disappointed in him. 27 years old and I am not seeing progress.

I unleashed on him yesterday and told him the truth but he denies, distorts, blames, and is so lazy and irresponsible.
9:30 am
Trifioso
what is it with the narcissists? SO impossible to reach - they just cannot - can NOT - see how they look to others
9:31 am

It is maddening, Trif.
9:33 am

miss2bit started Kindergarten today. Can't quite believe it.
9:33 am
Trifioso
in a way, though, its maddening and frustrating, but I feel a good bit of righteous indignation. I KNOW I am right - no question.
9:33 am
Scrabbler
Oh, my, Dan. I recall when her birth was awaited.
9:33 am
Trifioso
wow, dan2, that WAS fast!!! my goodness!

Ummmm...OK
5:58 pm
car.eeyore
<---- so out of the loop of loathing
5:59 pm
MollyL
Ummm, nothing. And it has nothing to do with loathing. He did scare someone away from here with stalking behavior.
5:59 pm
car.eeyore
Oh No! HOrrible!
6:01 pm
MollyL
Well, you can make fun of that if you want Car. But it did happen, and it should not have been tolerated here. But the board owner was not interested in doing anything about it.
6:02 pm
car.eeyore
I meant it...that is horrible and I hate that.
6:03 pm
car.eeyore
Well that doesn't seem right....kick that person off.

I am so flat and useless after being so hot all day.
6:07 pm
car.eeyore
It is miserable
6:07 pm
Trifioso
all I can seem to manage is laying here, in the ac, babbling.....
6:08 pm
car.eeyore
AC...must be nice...
6:08 pm
Trifioso
oh, and let me add - THANK GOD for that certain someone I saw this afternoon!!!

car.eeyore
Oh...no....not that.
6:09 pm
Trifioso
nope. not even close molly, but keep that good thought!
6:10 pm
Trifioso
seriously, I don't know how they can make us, and the students, sit in that damn building all day. If OSHA came, they would shut us down.
6:11 pm
MollyL
Don't the parents of the students complain?
6:11 pm
car.eeyore
The schools won't do anything. Not hot here long enough.
6:11 pm
Trifioso
if they aren't, they should be. one of the history rooms has been over 94 degrees since we opened last week.
6:13 pm
car.eeyore
They do. Schools won't do anything.
6:13 pm
MollyL
"Not hot here long enough" is not an excuse. Intolerable conditions, hot or cold, are intolerable.
6:13 pm
car.eeyore
If it was going to be 100 degrees for a few days, they would cancel school
6:13 pm
Trifioso
we are getting new schools built, but not until 2018.
6:13 pm
Trifioso
I don't think we would, car....
6:13 pm
car.eeyore
And even then, they probably won't have AC
6:14 pm
MollyL
Slim difference between 94 in the classroom and 100 outside.
6:14 pm
car.eeyore
Yes, that has been talked about
6:14 pm
Trifioso
seriously, no one ate anything today, as it was just too hot to think of eating, and by 7th period everyone was feeling sick and completely lethargic.
6:15 pm
car.eeyore
If it is considered "oppressive" or a health risk for an extended period of days, then they would
6:15 pm
Trifioso
I know it will only last a short time, but MAN - when you are sitting in it for seven hours, you just....melt.
6:15 pm
car.eeyore
TESTIFY!
6:16 pm
Trifioso
what happened to your ac? I thought you got one down the base?
6:17 pm
car.eeyore
We have the little one in our window, but we pulled it out last week...I actually almost dropped it out the window. We could put it back in, but it is so hot up there now, it wouldn't even begin to touch it. Much easier to bring the cooler (relatively) air in from the outside with fans.
6:17 pm
car.eeyore
Yet another reason I hate eaves
6:17 pm
Trifioso
as long as some air is moving....
6:18 pm
MollyL
Being in the construction business, I can tell you that an HVAC system can be installed that provides both warm and cool air, when necessary, and does not cost the owner any more money than just providing one of those. A public building that does not provide the proper temperature for the outside temperature is archaic.
6:18 pm
car.eeyore
Most of the schools around here are archaic.
6:18 pm
hurshy
anyone have the B?
6:18 pm
Trifioso
our building was erected in 1936, and all they have changed since then in fluorescent lights, and sprinklers.
6:18 pm

6:18 pm
Trifioso
I do hurshy - bo6...think crying
6:18 pm
MollyL
Don't cry Hursh
6:19 pm
car.eeyore
But even when we get new buildings, they are not going to put AC in
6:19 pm
MollyL
No handicap access Trif?
6:20 pm
hurshy
oh funny, ok thanks :)
6:21 pm
MollyL
And I truly hope the building has been checked and cleared for asbestos.
6:22 pm
Trifioso
we do have handicap access, but its so ancient, I fail to see how it could actually work. in a fire? Nope.
6:23 pm
car.eeyore
Uh oh...that is really bad.
6:23 pm
Trifioso
its awful.
6:23 pm
Trifioso
we have no elevators.
6:23 pm
MollyL
Oh, the media would love a story like this. *Hint*
6:24 pm
Trifioso
its already on the books that the town is building new schools. they break ground this fall, but won't be ready until 2018 at the earliest.
6:24 pm
MollyL
No elevators in a multi-story building is not code for proper handicap entrance and exit.
6:25 pm
car.eeyore
I remembered the AS 5/10 this time! Yay me!
6:25 pm
MollyL
I find it hard to believe that the parents of handicapped students are not fired up about this.
6:25 pm
Trifioso
there is this monstrous lift thing made out of metal that would lift the wheelchair bound student up and down one flight.
6:25 pm
Trifioso
I have never seen it in operation
6:26 pm
MollyL
This is like the intersection with no traffic light. People will have to die before it gets fixed.
6:27 pm
MollyL
Very sad, I can't believe a community will tolerate it.
6:27 pm
Trifioso
the gym is REALLY cool though - super shiny hardwood floor, big high windows - right out of Hoosiers.
6:27 pm
Trifioso
its a very, very disadvantaged community I work in, molly. the families often appreciate the two meals we serve a day....
6:28 pm
Trifioso
lots of movies are filming in Massachusetts lately....I keep wishing they would use our school as a location, and pay us!!!
6:29 pm
Trifioso
which reminds me, car - you should take the boys around the old navy base in Weymouth. they are filming something huge in there, with a full green screen stadium set up and all. it's wicked cool
6:30 pm
Trifioso
whoooo - the teacher's tournament is on jeopardy!!!

Minveryork
Congratulats phandmd on the job you like and your short commute. I am jealous. My job is 55 miles away and over an hour drive with all the rest of the morning commuters
9:06 pm
MollyL
I think you lose a good portion of your salary driving that far to work. What with the wear and tear on your car, and gas expense.
9:07 pm
rururocks
no question about that.. we have to pay our employees for mileage
9:09 pm
MollyL
Not to mention the stress of an hour commute each way that turns into a much longer commute if the weather is bad.
9:11 pm
Minveryork
We looked for something that was closer to work, but we could not afford to pay the taxes. It was continue renting or buy something further away. We chose the latter one.
9:14 pm
MollyL
That is too bad Min. You have a lower mortgage payment but higher costs to commute. Sometimes that works, most times it doesn't.
9:18 pm
Minveryork
I had a realtor give me an estimate on the house. We are thinking of selling. Not happy with what she quoted, but at least it w ill not be a short sale, something I feared.
9:19 pm
Minveryork
There are peeople at my job who commute 2 hrs from PA
9:20 pm
MollyL
I'm glad you are not having to do a short sale. I guess you are still with your husband. I hope that is working out. A 2 hour commute is insane.
9:24 pm
Minveryork
Not sure if I will still be with after we sell the house.I am hoping it will be my opportunity to gain my freedom. We will see though. Could take awhile for the house to sell.

I know divorce happens all the time, but still sad when it happens to you. When you get married, you think it's for life. I'm glad U don't regret your freedom. Hope I don't.
