VolleymomDee

((((((rose)))) great to see you!!

wow.. are you done rose? congrats

2:17 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{dee}}}}}}} lovely to be here.

2:17 am

grannyrose

thanx ruru.

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

How are you doing, rose?

2:18 am

grannyrose

i have been in a pretty dark place, dee. but coming up for air now.

2:18 am

flosey

thanks again Dee, got them

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

nice, flosey, yw

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

really glad to hear of improvement, rose. How is your pain?

2:20 am

grannyrose

i had the denervation, dee. 2 weeks ago today. after first 2 days when it was still numb, the pain is starting up again. :-(

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

crap

2:21 am

grannyrose

nice and succinct dee. and the wretched cortisone in my right hip hasn't done the trick either. left hip is terrific.

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

have a friend who is having a similar, chronic nerve pain down one leg... had surgery 3 ye5 ago, and will be having surgery again the 1st week of November

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

Can they try again? Recently had same shot in my left knee, but I think it is starting to wear off...

2:22 am

grannyrose

it's so scary dee. my knee gives way, when i never expect it to do so.

2:23 am

grannyrose

i'm not sure how frequently i can have them. it is cortisone, and i buzz like a bee in a bottle.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

That is how I fell twice in last 9 years, so I understand that fear.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

I think at least 4 times a year.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

So interesting how cortisone affects everyone so differently.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

When is your next doctor's appt.?

2:25 am

grannyrose

so every 3 months. i might look into it. the second doctor used a different method on my right hip. i am wondering if that was why it hasn't worked as well.

2:25 am

grannyrose

pain doc next wednesday. and we have started the fortnightly infusions of magnesium.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

could be. Unless they hit the right spot, they do nothing.

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

Does magnesium help you?

2:26 am

grannyrose

magnesium helps with the FM. i really don't want another infusion of ketamine.

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

Bad reaction?

2:28 am

grannyrose

weeellll. when i had the denervation, they gave me ketamine in conjunction with propofol, an anaesthetic drug which knocks you out.

2:29 am

grannyrose

it was like i was in a kaleidoscope. all pink and apricot, and it kept exploding and coming back together again.

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like a 1960's LSD trip. Maybe ketamine alone won't do that?? Not sure, I know very little about that med.

2:30 am

grannyrose

the nurse was saying...open your eyes, and i am going...nope, no way!!

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

I hope your pain guy can get on top of everything. Really baffles me how quickly pain can appear... seemingly out of nowhere. Truly strange with RA and FM

2:33 am

flosey

Rose, you sure have been through one Hell with all the agonies you've endured

2:33 am

grannyrose

yup!!!

2:35 am

grannyrose

oh, flosey, de4. maybe i should keep my mouth shut. i ne4 to learn to not rant here. i hope i haven't upset anyone.

2:35 am

Kamanjah

Hi, I'm rarely on this time of night (am in Calif). Couldn't help but note the FM and magnesium connection, since I just downed my mag before bed... it helps my muscles not ache so badly and cuts out the leg cramps.

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

We wouldn't ask, rose, if we didn't want to hear. We care how you are.

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

Good to hear, Kam.

2:36 am

Kamanjah

You have to get it out sometimes! The pain can be overbearing. I saw doc today and his advice was " with your body, all things in moderation."

2:36 am

grannyrose

thanx dee. and i hope you all feel comfortable enough to tell me take a long walk off a short pier...

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

Cannot see that happening, Rose. Have certainly heard that same phrase, Kam... just frustrating at times, and overwhelming at others.

2:38 am

Kamanjah

Rose, I'm sorry you hurt, it sucks. I swear by the magnesium - and morphine!

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

Really absurd diseases. Friend of mine just was diagnosed with RA. They cannot get her inflammation or pain under control yet... really feel badly for her.

2:38 am

grannyrose

g'day kam. yes magnesium is great for FM. with my FM it is the muscles which are mostly effected. they are in a constant state of quivering. the magnesium stops that progressing to spasms and cramps.

2:38 am

flosey

Rose, (just stepped out for a minute) No, please understand, I care and just wish there was some way your doctors could aleviate the pain you've been suffering for such a long time

2:39 am

Kamanjah

G'Day Rose!

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

Have they ever tried neurotin for your FM, rose?

2:39 am

grannyrose

thanx flosey. you all are such lovely people.

2:40 am

grannyrose

no dee, i will ask doc. when i see him.

2:40 am

Kamanjah

If it's morning for you, I'll bet you're not feeling so well...the first 3-4 hours of the AM are not good for me. Then, the meds kick in and I finally wake up

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

It is being used in America for the nerve / muscle shaking.

2:41 am

Kamanjah

Neurontin and I didn't get along well at all, but a friend with FM loves her Lyrica, which is pretty much the same thing.

2:41 am

grannyrose

ahhh, it's generic name is gabapentin, and it made my ankles swell and my lungs fill with fluid.

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

Each and every med affects each and every person differently. I think it is the trial and error of the process that gets so maddening.

2:43 am

grannyrose

absolutely, dee. the ketamine infusion over 10 hours works really well, but i have an addictive personality and don't want to push it.

2:43 am

Kamanjah

So true, Dee.
I hope you ladies don't mind me popping into chat...I should be in bed, but hubby was watching a movie, so I was babbling...<grin>

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

Great to hear your input, Kam.

2:44 am

grannyrose

kam, it's lovely to meet you, honey.

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

I can understand that, rose. Wise to wait as long as you can.

2:44 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, hi everyone!

2:46 am

Kamanjah

A ketamine infusion is unheard of here in the States - the docs are so afraid of giving pain meds! I'm lucky to have a doc that understands that I try alternative means on top of the pain meds - I use essential oils a lot, but it takes a lot of research to find the right ones

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

Too bad US is getting so absurd about great meds because of a handful of abusers. Pretty ridiculous, actually.

2:47 am

Kamanjah

We've all been on a long journey to find what works best and then make do with what the docs will give us

2:47 am

grannyrose

it does kam. are your pain docs trained anaesthetists too?

2:48 am

Kamanjah

Dee, you have no idea - unless you suffer pain. They've made it next to impossible to get pain relief!

2:48 am

VolleymomDee

I understand, Kam. I have Rheumatoid and FM

2:48 am

Kamanjah

Rose, my old docs were, but they figured I was stable and ran me off to find someone on my own when I moved from San Francisco to a rural area (only place I could afford a house).

2:49 am

VolleymomDee

Rose, our pain docs in this area usually are anaesthetists, too.

2:49 am

Kamanjah

I just have OA, so lucky it's not RA, but I have psoriasis to deal with too. Not painful, but ugly - another immune thing

2:50 am

VolleymomDee

All immune diseases - really believe all of these are related to all the chemicals we drink, eat, and breathe. We have contaminated this earth.

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

OA is just as painful, unfortunately.

2:51 am

Kamanjah

So, Dee, you do understand. Why are docs so stingy with meds? Because the stupid DEA and FDA and all those other agencies come down on them and threaten their licenses. Not fair to them when they have patients in pain!

2:51 am

meliae

431 wowzers

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

The docs here don't like it any better than we do. Most say it has worsened with Obama. Hopefully, soon, the legislators will wake up.

2:52 am

Kamanjah

I agree about the contamination - I used to be able to eat almost anything - now I can't handle pork, gluten, sugar....my diet is pretty weird now, but I just try to eat fresh.

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that

2:53 am

grannyrose

don't your pain docs attend seminar on the latest treatments? that is why the docs over here have finally realised how to treat pain with multi-modal techniques.

2:55 am

VolleymomDee

Yes, Rose, but with Obamacare, the "rules" have changed. The docs don't want to be fined or jailed, and the new laws are pretty absurd.

2:55 am

VolleymomDee

It is going to involve heavy lobbying and a lot of other political manipulations to get a balance. Meanwhile, we all go nuts.

2:56 am

grannyrose

that really sucks big time, dee

2:56 am

grannyrose

how about an on-line petition?

2:56 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely. Even getting tramidol now is a big ordeal. I think they just want to shoot us old folks here...

2:57 am

Kamanjah

I was in pain management at Univ of San Francisco pain clinic for years, but now love 120 miles and 3 hours of traffic away. They were up on the latest and greatest since they're a teaching hospital, but I can't get over there now.

2:57 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry to hear that, kam

2:57 am

Kamanjah

LOL, Dee, I SO agree! And, if your profile is up to date, you're younger than I am!

2:58 am

Kamanjah

I like my doc, he listens. He even researches things I tell him and gives me his opinion next time I see him - he likes what I'm teaching him about alternative medicine.

2:59 am

Kamanjah

Not love, LIVE!

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

Just had my 60th birthday. Was diagnosed in '94. I have really been disappointed / saddened by these recent changes in healthcare. All autoimmune diseases are affected by stress; none of this helps!

2:59 am

rururocks

UCSF had a good pain center

2:59 am

meliae

Dee did you see that FM has finally been accepted in the mefical community as a real disease?

2:59 am

rururocks

when was your 60th dee?

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

Sounds like a great relationship, Kam. Is he a rheumatologist or internal med doc?

3:00 am

Kamanjah

Exactly! I'll be 63 next week. Whoop! Too tired to celebrate!

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

Absolutely, Mel. Thank you, Johns Hopkins :)

3:00 am

rururocks

<---older but not wiser than Dee

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

9/18, ru

3:00 am

Kamanjah

Practicing as family medicine, but I think he's an internist.

3:00 am

meliae

I actually screamed when I read it.

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

Happy almost birthday, Kam.

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

I am sure wiser, ru :)

3:01 am

Kamanjah

Thanks :)

3:01 am

rururocks

I didn't celebrate mine either kama

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

LOL, mel. I completely understand that. I lost my doc of over 20 years lately, due to some insurance company issues. I was livid. Now trying to start a new relationship with a new dr... very frustrating.

3:02 am

Kamanjah

At least FM is officially "real." As if we didn't know already! I was diagnosed ages ago - in 1989.

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

My daughter arranged a surprise dinner for me... I was so no into celebrating, I didn't wear make up; walked into restaurant, and thought (scuse my French), oh, shit.

3:03 am

grannyrose

i was officially diagnosed in 2006, but unofficially over 30 ye5 ago.

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

no = not

3:03 am

Kamanjah

Nothing is more frustrating that trying to get to know a new doc! And where I am, they come and go too often, but I think my current doc has put down roots here and will stay for a long time.

3:03 am

rururocks

that's not fair dee

3:04 am

VolleymomDee

No one cared, but me. Thankfully, we didn't do pictures, but dinner was fantastic.

3:04 am

meliae

My insurance all of the sudden will not cover my dermatologist appointments irregardless of the fact that I have already had skin cancer, have 2 types of skin diseases that are high cancer risks, my GP is mad and mystified

3:05 am

VolleymomDee

Fingers crossed on that, Kam.

3:05 am

Kamanjah

Can't beat a fantastic dinner! Sans pics would have been good for me too. Pardon all of my typos...

3:05 am

VolleymomDee

Completely ridiculous, mel.

3:05 am

grannyrose

news here is that the government is legislating to make medicinal cannabis legal.... finally..

3:05 am

rururocks

my doctor is at UCSF too kama

3:06 am

VolleymomDee

Several of our states have, rose, not in Indiana, yet. Mel, in what state do you live?

3:06 am

meliae

Oregon

3:06 am

rururocks

Pot isn't legal here..but we pretend it is in California

3:06 am

Kamanjah

Yep, every time I talk to him I check...he likes the rural area as he is a horse person, and he really cares about his patients. He's so popular now that it takes a month to get an appt! So I make mine WELL in advance!

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

lol, ru

3:07 am

meliae

Marijuana is legal here but you cannot get pain meds if you are a cannabis user.

3:07 am

Kamanjah

Pot isn't Federally legal - but if you have your doc letter/card/whatever, it is legal in CA for personal medical use.

3:08 am

Kamanjah

Mel - in CA?

3:08 am

meliae

Or if you have a card,

3:08 am

meliae

No Oregon

3:08 am

VolleymomDee

Interesting, mel. Sure hope your doc can figure out what the issue is with dermatologist...

3:08 am

rururocks

I used to live in Oregon for 5 years.. nice state

3:08 am

VolleymomDee

I don't think it is legal at any level now (in Indiana)

3:08 am

meliae

Other drs and insurances might allow it, but mine doesn't

3:09 am

Kamanjah

I never heard of insurance covering medical marijuana before

3:09 am

rururocks

hmmm.. we'll have to change rose's name to grannypothead

3:10 am

VolleymomDee

LOL what a hoot!!

3:10 am

Kamanjah

Only thing it ever helped with with was migraines...

3:10 am

flosey

finally tired enough to sleep, 100 for tomorrow, goodnight all, heppy babbling

3:10 am

rururocks

(if granny starts listening to reggae music.. we'll know then)

3:11 am

rururocks

night flosey

3:11 am

meliae

3:21 am

VolleymomDee

loyal

3:22 am

rururocks

I'm going to cut out to bed.. have a nice night everyone

3:23 am

VolleymomDee

I literally had no clue. My birthday week was bizarre - new house being built next door; contractor cut our cable line, so we had no TV or computer for almost 2 days; finally gets fixed; same day our a/c went out and we had to spend 10K for a new a/c system (in a 9 year old house grrr); brother came to visit in midst of all that, so by the time we were supposed to go to dinner, I was worn out.

3:23 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams ruru. btw, did you check out my new icon?

3:23 am

rururocks

oh wow dee

3:24 am

meliae

Nini Ruru Sweet dreams

3:24 am

rururocks

I did.. looks like you guys had a good time. Kiwi is a hoot I bet

3:24 am

VolleymomDee

Probably good that all happened, so I didn't focus on the number (which has me freaked out)

3:24 am

VolleymomDee

Great photo, rose!!

3:24 am

grannyrose

she sure is ruru. you are gonna have to look her up when you get to NZ

3:24 am

rururocks

my brother asked me what I was doing for my birthday and I said I was going to sit in the corner with the lights out :D

3:25 am

grannyrose

thanx dee. ;-)

3:26 am

rururocks

yes.. hopefully someday when I can get away for a month from the biz

3:26 am

VolleymomDee

I totally empathize! YQW, rose! Had a freaky week last week... a friend of my husband's, his son, a basketball coach at a nearby school, and race car driver Tony Elliott (all from our small town) were killed in a freak airplane crash.

3:27 am

VolleymomDee

they were flying from Warsaw to the Notre Dame game at Clemson; crashed one mile from airport.

3:27 am

grannyrose

that is terrible dee. too much heartache all at once. xoxox

3:27 am

rururocks

wow.

3:28 am

VolleymomDee

Pilot was my hubby's friend; impeccable record. Neared airport 5 miles from Clemson; controller told them to get into holding pattern (too much rain / water on runway, so other planes were not taking off quickly). When they banked to turn to "get in line", windshear from mountains made plane spiral downward and crash.

3:30 am

VolleymomDee

Tony and his wife lived in our daughter's neighborhood. Wife didn't want him to travel (had an intuitive feeling)... deaths are impacting our small towns pretty severely.

3:31 am

VolleymomDee

I honestly did not realize how famous Tony was. Charlie had been a banker for a bunch of years and was really well liked and known by many.

3:32 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely puts life in perspective.

3:34 am

VolleymomDee

finally fireworks :)

3:34 am

grannyrose

dee, putting those families and communities on my prayer list.

3:41 am

Lizlin

How's the knee doing?

3:42 am

grannyrose

it's only been 2 weeks. i am now on fortnightly magnesium without the ketamine. knee is being a right ***.

3:43 am

Lizlin

So the denervation didn't work?

3:43 am

grannyrose

doesn't appear so. :-(

3:43 am

Lizlin

:(

3:44 am

Lizlin

Did you hear about my little mishap?

3:44 am

mattygroves

Goodness, this grid should keep me busy for a while. Not bad, as Jeff is out today

3:44 am

Lizlin

Hi Matty - did you get the house and the job?

3:44 am

mattygroves

House yes, job no

3:44 am

grannyrose

no liz, spill.

3:45 am

Lizlin

That's what I did!

3:45 am

mattygroves

So back to the drawing board with the job, but lots to do for the house - early days yet!

3:45 am

Lizlin

Slipped on a wet patch on kitchen tiles - bruised ribs.

3:45 am

Lizlin

Great about the house - b**ger about the job.

3:45 am

grannyrose

oh no liz. anything broken? or just your pride?

3:45 am

Lizlin

Kitchen floor is very hard!

3:46 am

Lizlin

Neither! Felt lucky that the glass bottle didn't cut me!

3:46 am

grannyrose

and you wonder why i want vinyl tiles....

3:46 am

Lizlin

Incredibly sore though!

3:46 am

grannyrose

did you fall on your backside?

3:47 am

Lizlin

couldn't work out why hubby was telling me not to move - then i thought about the glass!

3:47 am

Lizlin

No, left hand side - broke the fall with my arm.

3:47 am

grannyrose

are you using arnica on your bruises?

3:47 am

Lizlin

No - just using paracetamol.

3:48 am

Lizlin

Down to x2 a day.

3:48 am

grannyrose

darn, there goes the timer. dinner ready. maybe i'll see you after. xoxox

3:48 am

Lizlin

Going out tonight - so maybe tomorrow. Have a good evening. Hugs to you both.

5/12 word meaning shallow water could be past tense

4:11 am

meliae

Add er to that sh word too

4:13 am

rubyfoo

Everything is stable and the blood numbers have all improved. The lingering problem is fluid in one lung and I don't want a puncture as it fluctuates and results are not assured.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I can live with being short of breath.

4:14 am

lynxxx

That mostly sounds terrific..and now that you can take it easier I am sure you get even better

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I'm eating better. so that should help. I have to break the habit of eating standing up in the kitchen

4:16 am

lynxxx

because you were rushing about?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

grabbing a minute here and there when Burt was still here

4:18 am

lynxxx

I understand. Now you can set a lovely place for yourself and enjoy your food and read a book or magazines over a coffee - or wine even

4:19 am

rubyfoo

For some reason, I've lost my taste for alcohol. It might be the morphine but it's odd, not having a cocktail before dinner

4:37 am

mattygroves

On a more serious note, would I be right in thinking some of the longer words may start with those first five letters?

4:41 am

dizgrannie

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy loves giant grids, especially on a weekend!

9:15 am

hurshy

especially the morning after i passed my biology test and have a feeling of freedom!

9:15 am

zoozzoom

Rolin one is monster neding the other ends like someone not telling the truth :-)

9:15 am

zoozzoom

ending*

9:15 am

Judi

Yes, it's been a while since we've had a brain sucking grid this large.

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Hurshy!

9:16 am

rolin

zoozzoom

About time we had a reasonable sized grid :-)

9:16 am

Scrabbler

I had a brain-draining week at work so this grid is quite relaxing.

9:16 am

periwinkle

periwinkle

9:17 am

periwinkle

9:17 am

hurshy

9:17 am

penquis

bich....it was meant as a "sounds like"...

9:17 am

rolin

ok stop you lot...lol

9:17 am

periwinkle

early chat says there is a re7/9 help pls

9:17 am

Judi

flosey

9:18 am

welki

'morning, babblers! nice grid for a saturday!

9:18 am

penquis

re 9 builds on the color...

9:18 am

bichon

could someone clue that, the not telling the truth

9:18 am

hurshy

^5 welki!

9:18 am

Scrabbler

We have had 2 kids die in the last 6 weeks--3 yr old by drowning, 4 yr old in pick-up truck vs tractor-trailer.

9:18 am

periwinkle

oh, that is awful, Scrabbs

9:18 am

hurshy

oh how awful! i'm so sorry.

9:19 am

Scrabbler

The 4 yr old died this week. Father is in a coma and does not know yet.

9:19 am

rolin

when you say 'we'...scrabs??

9:19 am

hurshy

oh man

9:19 am

welki

aw scrabbs - we had a similar farming accident this week. three young sisters (11 yr old twins and 13 years old) - fell into a canola seed bin and suffocated - i don't know how you do it

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Plus it is sick season and mothers become irrational about runny noses and coughing so when a kid dies the minor stuff is, well, minor.

9:20 am

welki

(not similar - don't know how that word popped in there - must need more coffee)

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, welki. Terrible!! A soon-to-be father died in a similar farm accident last year.

9:21 am

hurshy

so many fewer children die these days than they did historically, for the parents who DO lose kids, it must be even harder and harder to find support and people who understand what it's like

9:22 am

Scrabbler

Welki, I am heartbroekn for those parents, for their overwhelming pain and sadness.

9:23 am

rolin

three kids at once..you'd be inconsolable

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, which is why so many parents see no reason to immunize their children.

9:23 am

welki

for what it's worth, they're part of a very strong and caring community. but i don't know if they'll ever know a 'normal' life again

9:24 am

hurshy

:(

9:25 am

Scrabbler

No, even losing one child leaves an empty hole forever.

9:25 am

welki

sorry for bringing the chat down

9:25 am

rolin

shudder...i haven't seen one of my kids for a year...and the other for two years.. cant wait for dec.

9:26 am

bichon

stats for 2nd column e, pls

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I am already sad, and, welki, just open the newspaper or read CNN, real life is sad. But their are stories of goodness too.

9:27 am

penquis

bichon.... plural for the name of a letter....

9:27 am

hurshy

9:33 am

bichon

I might not remember where my keys are, but always remember trivia

9:34 am

Scrabbler

And I saw a story of 5 elementary school boys that befriended a lonely classmate with CP--they sit with him in lunch, play with him after school, etc, and protect him from bullies. It made me tear up.

9:34 am

hurshy

i often have trouble when other people do them. i don't know if it is because they give harder clues, or i am just not good at my own game

9:34 am

hurshy

nice, scrabs!

9:38 am

Scrabbler

BRB, I need breakfast.

9:38 am

bichon

ad 7/36, pls

9:39 am

hurshy

i am indulging for breakfast today... LOTS of GRAHAM CRACKERS! (i love them!!!)

9:40 am

MollyL

Oh Hursh, my new favorite snack food is Cinnamon Teddy Grahams.

9:41 am

hurshy

oh i do not go for the te5s. just the classic honey maid. cinnamon would be extra indulgent tho.

9:43 am

MollyL

Alas, they are too pricey so I only get them when they are on sale. I keep the regular grahams around to make s'mores with.

9:44 am

hurshy

they now sell them in squares - "perfect for smores!" - i saw this and was like, because it was soooo hard to break them in half

9:45 am

bichon

ad 7/36, pls

9:45 am

hurshy

i can't for the life of me think what else to try for more non-alive based words

9:45 am

MollyL

I know Hursh. People have gotten incredibly lazy.

9:46 am

penquis

hursh.....do you have the one that means people who make sound softer....

9:46 am

hurshy

i keep hoping one of these marketing trends will fail cause they've finally underestimated people

9:46 am

zoozzoom

I have seven not alive words.Do not know how many there are though.

9:46 am

hurshy

um, i have de6 and past tense 8 where you make sound softer - but that's not exactly people who

9:47 am

hurshy

so i people who it and plural that

9:47 am

penquis

yes...

9:47 am

hurshy

ok thanks!

9:47 am

penquis

yw...

9:47 am

hurshy

somebody said they had 9 - was that including the root word?

9:48 am

penquis

the 9 is the plural of someone who...

9:48 am

penquis

oh....there are 10 not alive words...

9:48 am

penquis

the last is a plural.....

9:48 am

hurshy

hurshy

9:48 am

penquis

dumb word...

9:49 am

9:49 am

penquis

9:50 am

zoozzoom

Thanks.

9:51 am

Scrabbler

I need one more of the not alive words then

Scrabbler

10:01 am

zoozzoom

Bye for now, Flosey.

10:01 am

hurshy

by the way, if anyone hasn't seen "the prestige", it is quite an interesting movie

10:01 am

hurshy

no idea what brought it to mind just now...

10:04 am

zoozzoom

It is nine years old that film and I still have not watched it yet..lol

10:05 am

hurshy

it jumps back and forth in time a lot, which can be a little confusing, but, it's quite good overall

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Is that the one about magic?

10:05 am

hurshy

yes

10:06 am

Scrabbler

I don't go to the movie cinema anymore--too too loud--but I will occ watch a movie at home.

10:06 am

hurshy

yeah i had gotten it on netflix

10:13 am

welki

i don't watch movies often, but that was a good one. i also liked the marigold hotel and another that, for the life of me, i can't remember it';s name

10:13 am

welki

it was about another hotel - murder, a train, nutty music, artwork

10:14 am

hurshy

who was in it?

10:15 am

welki

hursh, i've been sitting here trying to think of names - i can see faces - i think william dafoe might have been in it

Scrabbler

Time to attack the re- words.

10:18 am

hurshy

i need 7 more R's :(

10:18 am

MLFAN17

the plot could have been a lot of different movies is the real problem with it lol

10:18 am

welki

it was so quirky and had very dry, but hilarious, humour - and you're right, the music was great (i think it won an award for it - an oscar i think)

10:19 am

MLFAN17

i only have 7 r's

10:19 am

welki

and yes, if you hadn't asked specifically, i wouldn't have been able to put the name to the face - so thank you again, hurshy *lol*

10:22 am

10:52 am

hurshy

those long H's

10:52 am

car.eeyore

I think the HO 12 is a stretch for a word

10:53 am

MLFAN17

think of your voice when you need to clear your throut

10:53 am

MLFAN17

thraot

10:53 am

MLFAN17

throat sorry

10:53 am

MLFAN17

car doesn't seem like it should be a real word if it actually is or not?

10:53 am

hurshy

aha, ok, so 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 ?

10:54 am

zoozzoom

Thanks, Mlf :-)

10:54 am

MLFAN17

yes hurshy

10:54 am

MLFAN17

yw zooz

10:54 am

car.eeyore

exactly

10:54 am

hurshy

so the 11 is something else entirely?

10:54 am

MLFAN17

yes

10:54 am

MollyL

te

10:54 am

car.eeyore

Yes

10:54 am

MLFAN17

te 9 and 11

10:55 am

MLFAN17

they go together

10:55 am

hurshy

ah i see, same deal, i hadn't pluralled the 9

10:55 am

zoozzoom

Put the loch monster on the end of the TE 5/10 before it. then pluralise for the 12

10:55 am

MollyL

Used in a very ungrammatical sentence: Everyone had laryngitis so there was a lot of ho12 in the room.

10:56 am

hurshy

there WERE a lot of ho12

10:56 am

zoozzoom

for the 11 sorry.

10:56 am

hurshy

there WAS a lot of ho10

10:56 am

MLFAN17

just got to 200 words ..231 left

10:56 am

hurshy

:)

10:56 am

MollyL

Yeah, but that seems to work better with the 10 not the 12. The 12 is just dumb.

10:58 am

MLFAN17

just got ne 6/7

10:58 am

MollyL

The doctor could not deal with all the ho12 caused by the throat infection. (Still dumb)

10:58 am

zoozzoom

lol

10:58 am

car.eeyore

I just shouldn't be a word

10:59 am

hurshy

sure it should - y'all just don't write like dickens, that's all

10:59 am

zoozzoom

:-)

10:59 am

car.eeyore

:)

11:01 am

car.eeyore

wow...found all the N's. Let me know if you need any of them.

11:01 am

hurshy

i ne4 one of them but i do not have list so you would have to guess

11:02 am

car.eeyore

The only strange one in the bunch is NE 5/10 which is a plural without a single before it. All the rest are normal words with various extensions

11:03 am

hurshy

ok thanks that helps

11:04 am

hurshy

so besides the ho10, what are the other 10s

11:04 am

MollyL

Dickens was a fine writer. And relevant to the time in which he wrote. But no one speaks like that anymore. (Nor should they)

11:04 am

car.eeyore

I have a DE 10/84

11:04 am

hurshy

well i still mostly read 19th century stuff so it all seems normal to me :)

11:04 am

car.eeyore

it builds off a DE 4/6, 6/24, and 8/50

11:05 am

rururocks

ex10 too

11:05 am

hurshy

so there are ELEVEN not alive words!

11:05 am

MollyL

Well Hursh, that is because you are a wannabe Brit.
: D

11:05 am

car.eeyore

Wow...I only have 6...

11:05 am

hurshy

thank you ruru

11:06 am

MollyL

With a grid this big, you can't trust what people say in chat about the number of a certain group of words. You really need to consult the list for accuracy.

11:06 am

car.eeyore

ty ruru

11:06 am

hurshy

let me see now if i can find one more word...

11:07 am

hurshy

ok i have passed 90%

11:07 am

car.eeyore

well done

11:08 am

car.eeyore

Found the EX 10...tyvm

11:10 am

zoozzoom

Does it build off the Ex 5/20?

11:10 am

car.eeyore

yes

11:10 am

zoozzoom

Thanks.

11:12 am

zoozzoom

Found it.Thanks, Ruru & Car :-)

11:13 am

car.eeyore

I have all the V's and Y's too if anyone needs one of those

11:14 am

hurshy

i need 2 of the Y's

11:15 am

MollyL

Just for the record, co12 is also a word. Thanks Chuck.

11:15 am

car.eeyore

Is it really? How strange.

11:16 am

12:14 pm

rururocks

hi annie

12:14 pm

Anniebrook

hi ruru :)

12:14 pm

kje

sure

12:15 pm

Anniebrook

kje, I had the shingles vaccine years ago, got shingles 4 years ago, not too much rash, got it again..practically no rash...I am taking Valtrex..can I also take Aleve to help with the pain

12:16 pm

kje

yes

12:16 pm

kje

have you tried tylenol?

12:16 pm

Anniebrook

thanks for the advice...hope this doesnt last long

12:17 pm

rururocks

can't believe all the people I know that have come down with shingles. you got it AFTER you did the vaccine annie?

12:17 pm

Anniebrook

Is tylenol better than Aleve?. kje

12:17 pm

Anniebrook

ruru, yes I had the vaccine and about a year later got shingles.

12:17 pm

rururocks

wow

12:18 pm

kje

tylenol doesn't work well if not taken scheduled - it doesn't work well once the pain is really high. You can take 2 extra strength tylenol 3 times daily safely (that is age adjusted) and it works well as a basal pain reliever. Than take alive as needed in addition.

12:18 pm

MollyL

I was just thinking the same thing, Ru. What is it with so many people getting shingles all of a sudden?

12:18 pm

rururocks

so much for the efficacy of that vaccine

12:18 pm

MollyL

<---Doesn't believe in vaccines

12:18 pm

rururocks

I got my vaccine at 60.. so far so good

12:18 pm

kje

You should not take aleve longer than two weeks. It is contraindicated in older adults for long term use

12:18 pm

Anniebrook

kje, thanks for the help

12:19 pm

kje

yw

12:19 pm

rururocks

I would do Jack Daniels and oxycodone for the pain annie.. just like everyone else around here :D

12:19 pm

Anniebrook

okay, kje

12:20 pm

rururocks

(note to lurkers... that was a JOKE)

12:20 pm

Anniebrook

ruru, I have the Jack Daniels. I have to scrounge up some oxy. Will asked high placed friends. :)

12:20 pm

kje

so in general, not knowing your other history (so if some reason not to use tylenol for example) I would recommend two extra strength tylenol (1000mg) three times daily until the attack is over, then aleve only as needed for pain above that

12:21 pm

kje

if you only have regular strength tylenol at home, you can take 3 regular strength (975mg) three times daily - scheduled, not only as needed, scheduled like a blood pressure med, etc

12:21 pm

rururocks

isn't the build up of acetaminophen bad for you too though Doc?

12:22 pm

kje

I gave her the recommended dose based on her age

12:22 pm

rururocks

I'm sure you're right.. but I've been reading such terrible things about Excedrin and Tylenol etc

12:22 pm

Anniebrook

Im okay with Tylenol. Aleve seems to work better though. Will start the Tylenol regimen.

12:22 pm

MollyL

I very rarely need anything for pain and when I do I take aspirin. Salicylic acid derived from the willow tree.

12:23 pm

rururocks

I have pain meds.. but only for headaches usually

12:23 pm

Anniebrook

and so, does anyone have a clue for el 6 ?

12:24 pm

rururocks

el + vowel.. plus most of not alive

12:25 pm

kje

that is why you should take it scheduled for a while, annie - tylenol works better to relieve pain before the p fibers are maximally firing, so it works better to prevent pain than treat it once revved up. We commonly use SCHEDULED tylenol for post op hip fracture patients after day 1 as their primary pain reliever and they do well - as long as done scheduled with something for breakthrough pain if needed

12:25 pm

Anniebrook

thanks

12:25 pm

Anniebrook

will do, kje and thanks again

12:25 pm

rururocks

I bet you're a great doctor Kje

12:26 pm

MollyL

I still have ten oxys the were prescribed after my last oral surgery that I didn't take. I'm thinking of trying to score some street cash with them if I need some extra money.
*JOKE*

12:26 pm

kje

hope you feel better, annie - shingles truly suck

12:27 pm

Anniebrook

thanks, kje...once was enough....twice is overkill

12:28 pm

rururocks

I'm such a weenie with pain .. I feel for you annie

12:29 pm

Anniebrook

ruru, thanks for the sympathy

12:29 pm

MollyL

I have a freakishly high threshold for pain.

12:29 pm

Anniebrook

It was so bad I didnt babble for two days and that's sayin' sumthin.

12:30 pm

rururocks

wow.. that's something

12:30 pm

It's kind of hard to clue, or ask for clues with a grid this big if you haven't looked at the list.

4:01 pm

penquis

very true!...i found my one word, so i have just listed to find the last 100....

4:02 pm

MollyL

One word?

4:02 pm

penquis

yes, i wanted to get down to 100 before i listed...a personal goal, you might say....

4:03 pm

MollyL

Oh, I can't keep up with all the "personal goals" here

4:04 pm

therealblah

i can make a spreadsheet of personal goals if we need it

4:04 pm

penquis

you don't have to....my rules are flexible....goals change depending on the size of the grid....with a big one, i don't want to be working on it all evening....

4:04 pm

You don't have to, Molly; they are our own goals; not yours

4:04 pm

therealblah

and also personal rules for playing

4:05 pm

4:07 pm

MollyL

I don't need a spreadsheet of personal goals. And I don't need to keep up with them, I know they are other people's goals, not mine. My comment was due to the fact that I didn't understand Pen's post about "one". But thanks for all the input.

5:10 pm

MollyL

Nice to see those imaginary monkeys still get their credit

5:11 pm

penquis

they are like slave labor...

5:11 pm

MollyL

No, not really. It's just you, finding words that don't seem to make sense in your vocabulary.

5:13 pm

Nef

does it matter, Molly? it's fun to enjoy our imaginary monkeys slaving away, isn't it?

5:14 pm

ChrissieDee

Oh dear, I thought my monkeys were real!

5:14 pm

MollyL

No Nef, it doesn't matter. Not at all.

5:15 pm

ChrissieDee

Someone keeps eating the bananas, lol

5:16 pm

bonkler

1 ten and the eleven down, monkeys going crosseyed

5:18 pm

bonkler

got the 12 and another 10... monkeys panting for air

5:18 pm

Nef

There's a lot of stuff we say here that is just plain old fun. The penalty box actually became a semi-real *place* once upon a time; the monkeys *help* us type nonsense words; the cabana boys just are all figments of our collective imaginations. That is part of what Babble is & was to many people; it's just a fun thing to chat about.

5:18 pm

ChrissieDee

What are the stats for the 11 please

5:19 pm

Nef

WTG, bonkler! I'll have to list before I find them I think

5:19 pm

penquis

te 11/88....

5:19 pm

penquis

well i went through the list and i still have to go back for my last 10....

5:19 pm

ChrissieDee

Thanks pen, looking....

5:19 pm

Nef

thanks pen

5:19 pm

penquis

think monster again...

5:20 pm

ChrissieDee

Thanks, that did it

5:21 pm

ChrissieDee

Only 242 more words to find :)

5:21 pm

MollyL

Yes Nef, I've been around here for quite a while. I know about all that stuff. And I think it's all in good fun. I just never really got the monkey thing. But hey, if it works for some people, so be it.

5:21 pm

penquis

down to 6!

5:22 pm

ChrissieDee

Go pen!

5:22 pm

Nef

Go, go pen! You can do it!

5:22 pm

bonkler

i think the monkeys are an extension of the infinite number of same that would eventually reproduce shakespeare, my take anyway

5:22 pm

penquis

i think using monkeys is another way of saying that one is trying to finagle words out of letters that don't seem to mean anything....

5:25 pm

penquis

question.....do the last three ex words start with the same prefix?

5:25 pm

penquis

i don't think they do....

5:26 pm

Nef

Sorry, pen, I don't have them all yet

5:27 pm

bonkler

i will now stop punching in 'u' words.... d'oh!

5:27 pm

MollyL

No Pen

5:27 pm

penquis

ty molly....

5:27 pm

therealblah

to monkey around (to finagle something) is a common term, not just here. Related to mcguyver i believe ;)

5:27 pm

Nef

I found myself doing that earlier too bonkler

5:29 pm

MollyL

Thank you blah, I understand the definition. It is not used that way here though. People post like there are monkeys typing for them and they are feeding them bananas.

5:29 pm

You're very welcome, Molly. I don't read it the way you do, at all.

Don't know who mcguyver is. I thought the same as bonkier with the shakespeare connection

5:31 pm

MollyL

To each their own

5:31 pm

Anyway, who cares?!?! It's an online word game, we

5:31 pm

we're having fun.

Whee!!!!

5:33 pm

ChrissieDee

Don't know if I'd call this grid fun - daunting springs to mind ðŸ˜ž

5:34 pm

ChrissieDee

The chat is fun though

5:34 pm

MollyL

It's tedious. I'm finding that I don't really like the huge grids.

5:34 pm

penquis

i am done....

5:34 pm

ChrissieDee

Me neither

5:35 pm

ChrissieDee

Woowoo, congrats pen!!!!

5:35 pm

If another 700 plus grid shows up I am not even going to start.

5:35 pm

penquis

i actually liked this grid....lots of word families....easier than i thought it would be...

5:35 pm

it is all supposed to be fun. no need to pick at it. if it is not your thing then do not join in.

5:35 pm

Well done, Penquis!!!!

5:35 pm

very busy grid:)

5:35 pm

therealblah

Chrissie - McGuyver was a popular tv show here (US) in the 80's, i believe. The central character was famous for finagling solutions. Thus the faux verb 'mcguyver'

5:36 pm

Nef

Molly, I don't know you at all or anything about you. I do like your input and help and often I enjoy your comments in chat; but sometimes it appears as though you are very sarcastic or you make a lot of passive aggressive comments and some people are offended by them.If it bothers you about comments about monkeys (or whatever; ignore them

5:36 pm

crosshair

I loved McGuyver :)

5:36 pm

ChrissieDee

Thanks blah

5:36 pm

therealblah

me too crossy!

5:37 pm

Nef

YAY, penquis!!! WTG!!!

5:37 pm

penquis

ty!

5:38 pm

MollyL

No Nef, I just made a comment about the monkey thing. And if you want passive aggressive, look to some of the other posters here. I am straight up and say what I think. Nothing passive aggressive about me.

5:38 pm

therealblah

I can't remember the actor's name, altho I can picture him...hope he gets a royalty every time someone uses mcguyver as a verb ;)

5:39 pm

ChrissieDee

Sorry molly, but I agree with Nef

5:40 pm

MollyL

Not surprised about that at all, Chrissie.

5:41 pm

ChrissieDee

We used to have a laugh till you turned on me

5:44 pm

this is true, penquis, but we end up with a once vibrant chat empty with 90% lurkers

Also true crossy

5:45 pm

i think i will leave it as well now, but had to agree and not let the others stand out there after voicing a valid opinion.

6:07 pm

I have never been to Florida so far. DH & I have always thought we'd travel after retiring; but he seems to get sick almost every time we plan to go. At least we had a nice trip this past August (with our son & grandson along)

6:07 pm

I am sure there are amazing parts of Florida, but this apparently was not it. :)
