hurshy

phantom: trisomy

12:33 am

mkg

i thought it was restring.........hmmm.

12:33 am

hurshy

don't worry mkg, cnan's whole point was that it's not a word (for babble purposes)

12:33 am

cybernan

no - re string is when you replace the strings on he violin

12:33 am

hurshy

i just am like, you know, real curious all the time about lots o things

12:34 am

cybernan

* for any stringed instrument for that matter

12:34 am

mkg

oh. ok so i guess i dont know the word.

12:34 am

mkg

12:34 am

hurshy

maybe after you have chemo, your body has to re-ha4

12:35 am

mkg

so is there an re 6/7?

12:35 am

hurshy

reho4 is unfortunately another one that does not go, commonly used in animal shelter circles :(

12:35 am

hurshy

yes

12:35 am

Lizlin

Yes

12:35 am

hurshy

re + na4

12:36 am

mkg

ty

12:36 am

mkg

12:37 am

hurshy

oops, are we still supposed to not clue early after the flip, or has that etiquette gone by the wayside

12:38 am

mkg

sorry

12:38 am

meliae

30 mins clue free is about the norm :)

12:38 am

hurshy

no it's not YOUR fault, i went straight to cluing instead of just answering your actual question

12:39 am

hurshy

it is just, i'm not at the flip often enough to remember how to behave and the chat has changed so much over the years anyway that it is hard to keep track

12:40 am

meliae

We used to try to wait an hour but I think that has gone bye bye

12:40 am

meliae

Its all good Hurshy :)

12:40 am

hurshy

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

1:21 am

1:25 am

sprite

good morning all

1:26 am

flosey

good morning Sprite - about ready for bed here!!

1:26 am

sprite

good evening, flosey, and good night :)

1:26 am

cybernan

crashing -- see you tomorrow. good morning sprite

1:26 am

sprite

bye nan

1:28 am

sprite

ks killed

1:39 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning my darling sprite. hi flosey. sweet dreams nan

1:39 am

sprite

finally we meet again, rose, lol! *hugs* darling. How have you been? Was worried a little, seeing how long it was since your last email. Are you ok?

1:40 am

grannyrose

yay sprite on the k's... have you had a better night sweetie?

1:40 am

grannyrose

ugh.... the cramps are lethal. the one last night had me screeching like a banshee.

1:40 am

sprite

I had a drink last night... it helped against the nightmares. Was up very early though... 5.15 am. Might take a nap this afternoon.

1:41 am

sprite

see, I had a feeling things were not dandy. *healing vibes* Am so sorry, darling. Nights like that suck.

1:41 am

grannyrose

eek... 5:15 ???? AM ????? yuck. you poor thing.

1:42 am

sprite

*grin* Yeah, especially in winter, 5.15 am is night in my book.

1:42 am

sprite

phantom: cinema

1:42 am

grannyrose

that one turned my foot over, or tried to do. i just could not get my foot flat to the floor.

1:43 am

sprite

omg those are so bad. They trigger a kind of panic that is hard to handle, on top of the pain.

1:44 am

grannyrose

absolutely honey. don ended up getting out of bed, helping me to stand, then put his foot over mine and pressed gently until the cramp eased.

1:45 am

sprite

yeah, getting outside help is the only way in cases like that. You simply don't have enough working muscles to get things back to rights. The power of those cramps can be something fierce.

1:46 am

grannyrose

i'm afraid he got an earful of very naughty language in between entreaties to the Big Guy for help.

1:46 am

sprite

lol I am very sure both Don and the Big Guy know how to listen to both

1:48 am

grannyrose

oh...question... i have been using some pretty bright red nailpolish. when i removed it, my nails appear to have a yellow tinge. anything i can do to stop that from happening? like buffing my nails before the next time i paint them.

1:49 am

sprite

you need to apply a base coat before using any bright polish. Best is to always use a base coat. The colour will hold longer too.

1:49 am

sprite

and if you don't have any base coat handy, a top coat will do the trick too.

1:50 am

sprite

... that is, a top coat used as base coat, of course

1:51 am

grannyrose

ahhh, yes i do use a clear top coat to seal the colour and prevent chipping.

1:52 am

sprite

you are almost there then. Base coat, colour, top coat. Professional nail polishing done :)

1:52 am

grannyrose

if i buff with 3 different grades of emery will that get rid of the current stain?

1:53 am

sprite

you could give it a try. But it may not. The discoloration is usually permanent and has to grow out. Better not try bleaching, it is really bad for your nails.

1:55 am

grannyrose

okay then. oh, and i found my old nail transfers. tiny little rosebuds and butterflies. going to try them out just on the thumbs to see if they will stay in place. i would need to put them on under the topcoat, right?

1:56 am

flosey

22 to go but too sleepy, goodnight all

1:56 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams dear flosey. xoxox

1:56 am

sprite

yes. Base coat, optional colour, transfers, dry very well, then top coat

1:56 am

sprite

night flosey, sweet dreams. I thought you were long gone! *hugs*

1:57 am

grannyrose

flosey... our quiet achiever. xox

1:58 am

sprite

my bad, flosey said she was about ready for bed and I translated that into at the point of going.

1:58 am

grannyrose

sprite, i took ibuprofen and extra magnesium at lunch time. gp thinks, and i think she is correct, that the hip pain is worse since i went to 3/12 ketamine.

1:59 am

sprite

sounds like she is correct :(

1:59 am

sprite

what does your pain doc say?

1:59 am

grannyrose

will have the next magnesium at 2 weeks and discuss with pain doc. my options.

2:00 am

grannyrose

which is in 8 days

2:00 am

sprite

give him a call, sweetie. I really would hate to see you struggle for two more weeks if you don't have to

2:02 am

grannyrose

june's dad's wheelie walker is too tall for me in it's lowest setting. might hire one for a while to see if it will help

2:02 am

sprite

good idea. You really need it to be adjusted to exactly your size in order to judge the results.

2:03 am

grannyrose

my cousin loves hers. she says she can even visit exhibitions because if she needs to sit she can.

2:04 am

sprite

yes they are smart little things. Getting the tension off your lower back for a bit by sitting down really makes a difference.

2:04 am

grannyrose

i am watching heart-breaking footage of yet another country town wiped out by a bush fire.

2:05 am

grannyrose

but no loss of life as yet.

2:05 am

sprite

the extreme black ice here has taken several lives up north.

2:06 am

grannyrose

you and Rob take care you he4 me??

2:07 am

sprite

oh don't worry, we will, and the black ice hasn't been in our region yet. Up where Cobi lives, it was really bad. Here, all is well.

2:08 am

grannyrose

i will pray that coby and her family are safe

2:09 am

sprite

I actually have yaktracks at the ready. Ordered them earlier this year. If things get bad, I will be prepared.

2:09 am

grannyrose

good for you sprite. btw, how is Caya's cold?

2:10 am

sprite

cobi was down with the flu during, she didn't even venture out. It was code red for the north region here, meaning they advice you to stay indoors unless you really really have to go out.

2:10 am

sprite

caya is well again. Now, Tim is coughing. Never a dull moment with a family, is there?

2:11 am

sprite

how is don doing? The horrible headache a thing in the past again?

2:12 am

grannyrose

yuck for poor Tim... xox to him. don doing okay again. we are being more vigilant .

2:13 am

sprite

I am glad. Those headaches are really nasty

2:13 am

sprite

fireflies

2:13 am

grannyrose

keeping the sinus treatment going even when he thinks it's over.

2:13 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

2:13 am

sprite

very smart. I hope that will help prevent them.

2:14 am

sprite

darling, I hope and pray you will have a better night tonight. Take care... lots of hugs and healing vibes.

2:14 am

grannyrose

gardener again early next week. i will make sure don takes the antihistamines before he, the gardener, arrives.

2:15 am

sprite

lol yes, please do. *hugs*

2:15 am

8:19 am

Scrabbler

*temps

8:19 am

Anniebrook

hoping for good weather next week. Bobby has a 8mm kidney stone that is going to be blasted on Wednesday. That all depends if they get his valrproic acid level results back in time. He also has a stent since dec.10 to heal his kidney. What fun

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Oh, poor Bobby.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

All unexpected. He never complained until he collapsed and wound up in the hospital.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Kidney stone pain is supposed to rank near the top, if not the worst.

8:23 am

Anniebrook

He was in the hospital for two nights and now we are hoping for news that the results are in and we can go forward. I would like them to take the stent out,

8:23 am

MLFAN17

hello all

8:23 am

Anniebrook

hi fan

8:23 am

lideola

having had both, multiple times, kidney stones are worse than labor.

8:23 am

MLFAN17

hi annie

8:24 am

MollyL

Annie I hope everything goes well and that Bobby is feeling better soon.

8:24 am

Anniebrook

lideola, Have you ever had a stent?

8:24 am

Anniebrook

thank you, Molly

8:24 am

lideola

more times than I remember. Yes.

8:25 am

ivesy3

had kidney stones 2x worse than having a kid

8:26 am

Anniebrook

lideola, How long was the stent in your ureter?

8:28 am

lideola

they are very uncomfortable and cause bladder spasms because of the irritation. You always feel like you have to go to the bathroom. The longest I had one was 2.5 months because they thought the stone wasn't calcium and had me drinking this nasty stuff everyday to dissolve the stone. It was calcium, so drinking that junk every day for two months didn't work.

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I had gall stones in my common duct and that pain was brutal. I got hepatitis and jaundice.

8:29 am

O stats?

8:31 am

Anniebrook

lideola, thanks for the information. Bobby is Down Syndrome so I am very very careful about him. This came out of the blue. I am concerned about the stent. He had it placed Dec. 10th so it is only one month. I am hoping that after the blasting all the of the stone comes out and then the stent comes out. He sometimes says "I had enough" and it breaks my heart.

8:36 am

lideola

it must be very difficult for him. After the lithotripsy the stent will stay in for another week to help protect the ureter while all of the gravel passes. Before they take out the stent they will order a plain film of his abdomen to make sure none of the stone is left in kidney. If there is still anything left, they will usually re-blast. They remove the stent after the kidney is clear of stones.

8:37 am

MLFAN17

thanks phae and google

hi Dan

8:39 am

Anniebrook

lideola, Thank you for taking the time to tell me this. I was told he might have to have lithotripsy twice. When all the gravel is out, the stent is then removed. I will hope for the best. Thanks again and may you NEVER have a kidney stone atttack.

If they can blast my 2 cm x 2 cm staghorn stone in one go, I have confidence they will be able to do his 8 mm in one treatment.

8:44 am

MLFAN17

annie 8 glasses of soda a day??

8:44 am

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Yes, penquis!

9:04 am

MollyL

The movie is called Simon Birch. The only reason I watched it is because Oliver Platt is in it. It is very loosely based on Irving's story.

9:04 am

MLFAN17

9:04 am

Aloyisius

ty hego.. happy Saturday!

You have to change a vowel in the dance

10:39 am

worked for me byz -- but then I don't know how to spell the dance, so I guess I used a homonym

10:40 am

MollyL

The clue was fine, I understood it.

10:42 am

MollyL

The only reason I know how to spell that horrible dance is because I did some work for a DJ back in the day. For some godforsaken reason, people requested that song at weddings ALL THE TIME. And The Chicken Dance, and Achy, Breaky Heart. Blech.

11:10 am

MollyL

It helps if you read along with how the chat goes. The clue requested was ca6/21. The clue given was ma + ca6/21. It had nothing to do with an ma8 because there is no ma8 9in the grid.

11:11 am
