good morning

5:33 am

mattygroves

How are you this Saturday? It's cold but fine here

5:33 am

Anniebrook

windy, windy, windy

5:34 am

lbdawger

good morning, annie! cold outside, not sure if it will get out of the 30's today. wishing for snow, then this cold weather would be worth it

5:34 am

mattygroves

No snow here, please! Everything shuts down here with even the tiniest bit of snow. We're just not equipped to deal with it

5:34 am

Anniebrook

yes, I know what you mean. Too early for snow here. I live near the ocean so the wind today is fierce.

5:36 am

lbdawger

when I lived in Arizona the slightest hint of cold weather and schools would shut down. silly, as any snow we got melted before it hit the ground.

5:36 am

Anniebrook

dawg, you are an early riser too.

5:36 am

kje

gm

5:36 am

6:14 am

Anniebrook

Put the latin ending on it and then plural

6:14 am

6:20 am

MollyL

Ah, Thanksgiving shopping complete. It's a beautiful thing to be in the grocery store all by yourself at 6 in the morning.

6:22 am

bichon

I'm going today to get my turkey. But our guests don't like pumpkin pie. My grandaughter would eat dessert like cookies

6:26 am

mattygroves

I hate the fact we get Black Friday now here, but not Thanksgiving. I feel the retailers should pay for us all to have Thanksgiving off. It's not right co-opting the crazy bit without the fun foodie bit

6:28 am

MollyL

How does Black Friday work if people don't have the day off to shop on it?

6:29 am

bichon

I hate that Thanksgiving has turned into a day to get through so we can go shopping the next

6:30 am

mattygroves

Well, exactly, Molly! All the retailers have big sales but for no apparent reason, other than copying the US. It's all about the cash

6:30 am

bichon

fl 5/16, pls

6:31 am

mattygroves

Boots, the chemist/pharmacy here, have a pre-black Friday sale before black Friday. (www.boots.com). FFS!

6:31 am

MollyL

One of the best things that ever happened for me is on line shopping. I rarely go to stores anymore.

6:31 am

mattygroves

Time fl5/16 like an arrow, fruit fl5/16 like a banana.

6:31 am

bichon

ty matty

6:32 am

mattygroves

Right, I'm outta here - gonna try to think about where to go for lunch. Have a great day all

6:33 am

periwinkle

good morning all. help with the V pls

6:33 am

mattygroves

Peri, a peeping tom

6:34 am

6:38 am

MollyL

Two fe7/44

6:38 am

MollyL

Une, see my comment to Peri about spelling

6:38 am

lbdawger

the other re7 is to put gas in the car again.

6:39 am

Uneaixoise

aahh, got the re7/28 with brit spelling

6:39 am

MollyL

That is a 6

6:39 am

MollyL

I knew you would re7 what I meant eventually Une

6:40 am

lbdawger

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

6:40 am

periwinkle

6:41 am

periwinkle

but don't see the re8.

6:41 am

periwinkle

6:42 am

MollyL

Stupid word

6:42 am

Uneaixoise

6:49 am

Uneaixoise

fe7 plural of fe6/30

6:50 am

periwinkle

6:50 am

grannyrose

the first fe6 ends with first vowel

6:50 am

Uneaixoise

fe + ru4

6:50 am

Uneaixoise

fe6 x 2 -- both the same except for final vowel

6:51 am

periwinkle

tyty Une and rose

6:51 am

periwinkle

7:11 am

Sugrraleona

7:12 am

MollyL

7:13 am

bichon

7:13 am

Sugrraleona

7:15 am

bichon

nm

7:31 am

MollyL

I've never really understood s...kraut or kimchi. What? Did someone think "lets make cabbage even stinkier by fermenting it"?

7:35 am

Trifioso

that's how I feel about cottage cheese, molly. How in the heck did the person who invented it look at that and say "this looks done!"

7:35 am

Trifioso

and good morning friends!

7:37 am

MollyL

Anything that rhymes with turds is not on my preferred eating list

7:38 am

Trifioso

I had the most amazing meal last night....the kind where you are still thinking about it two days later....

7:44 am

Scrabbler

99 words in the grid today, type one in, 98 words left on your list today...

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

8:38 am

bojazz

TO - lol!

8:39 am

Scrabbler

I don't get that clue though and I hav ebene struggling with finding vo6.

8:40 am

dan2bit

french watcher

8:40 am

Scrabbler

TY, Dan!

8:41 am

dan2bit

so Scrabbs, miss2bit had her first stitches last week. Got the Dreaded Call From School

8:42 am

dan2bit

cut her chin on the playground. 2 stitches, but they're out now & looking good

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, but classic location. I saw a girl on Thursday--fell at playground and did a face plant on to her nose and cheek bone. Nasal fracture. Her face was a mess.

8:44 am

dan2bit

oof

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the "Dreaded Call From School." How did the Little One cope with the entire experience?

8:45 am

dan2bit

she was a trooper, but really didn't like having them out

8:46 am

dan2bit

now, it's like it never happened

8:46 am

Scrabbler

We don't like taking them out either--kids are scared and squirmy, and we have to dig threads out of scabs and new skin. It's not always easy.

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Good for her.

8:47 am

MollyL

2Bit, you are lucky you made it this far without stitches. My "ER" child (son who had the most mishaps) had his first stitches at 18 months. More at 3. And so on, and so on.

8:50 am

Scrabbler

I must get going with my day. Enjoy the day.

8:55 am

dan2bit

u2

9:41 am

MollyL

u2??? â™ªâ™«In the name of love, what more in the name of loveâ™«â™ª

9:45 am

rururocks

I didn't get stitches until I was 42

9:50 am

rururocks

I do like to keep people in stitches :D

9:50 am

hurshy

sounds pretty hypocritical to me... :)

9:50 am

rururocks

to sort of suture their humor

9:51 am

rururocks

or their sense of humor :D

9:52 am

hurshy

tip: orange peels in the pot with your tea leaves

9:53 am

rururocks

hmm.. do your guests constantly comment on that addition hursh?

9:53 am

hurshy

i don't got guests, it's just fer me

9:53 am

rururocks

oh

9:54 am

hurshy

but it's NICE

9:54 am

MimiCat

Good one, ruru---"constantly comment."

9:54 am

rururocks

*opens lead balloon window*

9:54 am

hurshy

haha i totally didn't catch that

9:54 am

rururocks

hi mimi.. how are you feeling?

9:54 am

hurshy

i guess because i don't think CC makes loose tea

9:54 am

MimiCat

Nope---I got it!

9:55 am

rururocks

cc does make loose tea

9:55 am

rururocks

people don't tend to carry it

9:55 am

hurshy

oh really? innnnteresting.

9:55 am

hurshy

well, i have been doing it with jasmine

9:55 am

hurshy

sorry for missing the joke AGAIN ruru :)

9:55 am

rururocks

mimi have they made progress after your diagnosis ?

9:55 am

rururocks

:D it's ok hursh

9:56 am

rururocks

it's early yet :D

9:56 am

MimiCat

Not well, ruru, unfortunately, but thanks for asking. Trying hard to keep spirits up and not give in to depression but it has been a very hard year and both my patience and stamina are being taxed. Lots of pain, no answers.

9:56 am

rururocks

I'd like constant comment more if the clove influence were a little lighter

9:56 am

hurshy

*hugs*

9:57 am

rururocks

oh.. I'm sorry mimi.. I was hoping they'd finally be able to help you

9:57 am

hurshy

yeah i do not deal well with "spice" teas, clove, nutmeg, anything like that

9:58 am

MimiCat

Ruru, I love clove and just ordered some clove hard candy from a seller on Amazon...will be here Monday. My mother's purse always smelled like clove Lifesavers.

9:58 am

hurshy

i like clove & nutmeg in my apple pie or gingerbread - just not in my TEA

9:58 am

MimiCat

I used to buy the Adams clove gum.

10:00 am

MimiCat

I'm gathering that it takes a long time for nerves to regenerate and while that takes place I keep getting these "zings" in various parts of my body that are incredibly painful--luckily, they each only last a minute or so but they keep happening....very disconcerting.

10:03 am

rururocks

hm..but maybe that isn't a bad sign.. maybe they are regenerating effectiveness

10:04 am

MimiCat

That's exactly my thinking, too...the old "no pain, no gain" thing. Anyway, keep going as best as I can.

10:05 am

rururocks

well mimi.. if anything you always had a lot of nerve :D

10:05 am

MimiCat

The good news is that with all the illness/surgery/turmoil, I've lost 53 pounds this year.

10:05 am

hurshy

am i allowed to be jealous?

10:06 am

10:06 am

rururocks

I've been trying hard to lose weight too.

10:06 am

rururocks

I've lost 15.. and it's really hard to lose more

10:07 am

MimiCat

Wasn't through any real effort on my part---just haven't been able or wanted to eat. Glad it's gone, though. Was just about to go on the HCG diet when all this hit me.

10:08 am

MimiCat

It's amazing how little food we actually need.

10:12 am

MimiCat

Went to the dr. a couple of weeks ago and put on a pair of pants I'd grown used to wearing---they were LITERALLY falling off me! I still have a closet full of clothes I wore when I was my normal size, so I'll hopefully be able to wear them again.

10:12 am

10:14 am

10:14 am

hurshy

lol thanks

10:14 am

MimiCat

I refused to invest much in larger clothes since I had no intention of staying that way. Oh, also found out I have a low thyroid so am on Synthroid, which should also help.

10:15 am

rururocks

yes.. that will help a lot mimi

10:15 am

rururocks

all sounds good.. losing weight should really help you get around

10:16 am

rururocks

I got my bike fixed.. so I'm going to start riding again to get some extra exercise other than walking the dog

10:16 am

MimiCat

I just want to have some semblance of a normal life again---I have things to do!

10:16 am

rururocks

I hope that happens again for you mimi.. I wish they were a little more proactive in helping you.

10:17 am

MimiCat

There ya go, ruru---good idea. Lower impact than running. I'm not at all for running, but walking fast is good. I was doing that.

10:18 am

rururocks

I can't walk fast.. I just walk

10:18 am

rururocks

bad knees

10:19 am

rururocks

well... I'm glad I caught you .. I was wondering how you've been doing.

10:19 am

MimiCat

I used to do things like take my trash down the stairs one bag at a time so I'd have to make two trips instead of one and also park at the far end of lots so I'd have a good walk to the store.

10:21 am

MimiCat

I'm happy to talk with you, too. I've been lurking but had nothing positive to say. Going to go rest now. Take care, ruuru, and HAGD everyone.
