1:44 am
meliae
I have mad methods to babbling, first I start in upper left corner and go tile by tile, I do my best to get at least one word per tile, then check for all stats.

We have about 35cm of snow, and it's coming down heavy, and supposed to for the next roughly 18 hours. Gusty winds. It's a fluffy, wet snow. I live near Washington, DC.

1:46 am
meliae
Next I count how many 0/0 tiles and subtract that amount from 25, divide that number by 2. Which tonight is an odd number so I round up. I cannot list until I have that many grey tiles lol if I dont get them I cannot list.
1:46 am

1:51 am
sprite
*grins* I feel honored. Do you try a different location every year or didn't the last one work out?
1:51 am
grannyrose
i list once i have been through the grid ti4 by ti4. i try to find at least 50% from each ti4.
1:51 am
meliae
If its a big one I cheat and list sometimes just to finish, but my goal is just to find as many as I can without it.

2:34 am
hurshy
i know they say not to look at screens during migraines, but, it never seems to make a difference with mine one way or the other
2:36 am
grannyrose
could you possibly wear light-tinted sunglasses when you have a migraine?
2:37 am
hurshy
sure, i could do anything - but the only thing that seems to affect them is taking my sumatriptan.
2:37 am
hurshy
i mean, i do definitely put on sunglasses in bright light, whether i have one or not, to prevent or not worsen them
2:40 am
grannyrose
okay. hubby has found an app? which he has on his computer. it is a blue filter. this also helps him to sleep easier.

6:14 am

do it in stages or hire a young person to do it for you. you don't need to risk injury or cardio pulmonary attack
6:21 am
MollyL
Well, I would consider hiring someone, but not too many kids around here are that ambitious. We do it in stages, it's too much to do all at once.
6:35 am

Out comes the snow blower today. It's been idle up to today
6:38 am

I feel free to blame this storm on all the people who were clucking and saying "Oh, we're going to pay for this" when it was 60 degrees in December.

The place i work at is an open office...cube farm. the men on both sides of me are sick and they sound terrible! but they know better than to whine, no sympathy in a room filled with women!
7:11 am
lbdawger
it's an antihistamine, Allegra D and a few others main ingredient for allergy sufferers
7:12 am
lbdawger
but i've also seen it on cold remedy packages too
7:15 am
TheByzantine
Guaifenesin is used to treat coughs and congestion caused by the common cold, bronchitis, and other breathing illnesses. This product is usually not used for ongoing cough from smoking or long-term breathing problems (such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema) unless directed by your doctor. Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier.
If you are self-treating with this medication, it is important to read the package instructions carefully before you start using this product to be sure it is right for you.

why anre you anti antihistamine?

7:30 am
zoozzoom
I suppose when you have a cold and the nose is running. It is trying to flush out the bad bacteria maybe by taking antihistamines it is stopping the body from doing its job so prolonging the cold maybe?
7:31 am
MollyL
Does this mean that Bich is prohistamine?
: D
7:32 am
zoozzoom
And I do not reccomend gargling with warm salt water and swallowing a bit by mistake. I felt sick for ages afterwards LOL
7:32 am
zoozzoom
Sorry I am in a bit of a whinging mood today. I will shut up :-)
7:33 am
bichon
No, when I have allergies in the summer. I take them, but not for a cold
7:33 am
MollyL
You can whine Zoom, you're allowed. Everyone else does here.
: D
7:34 am
MollyL
Does here? Here does? Sorry, I think my grammar is buried in a snow drift.
7:35 am
MollyL
So now I'm curious. Why don't you take them for a cold?
7:35 am
zoozzoom
To be honest, Molly. I never noticed the error. Shows you how bad I am at grammar lol
7:39 am
bichon
Colds are caused by a rhinovirus, antihistimes cannot touch that
7:40 am
MollyL
Well I don't think people are taking them to cure their cold. They are taking them to dry up runny noses.
7:42 am
bichon
You'ld have to a decongestant for that
7:49 am
MollyL
Personally, I don't take cold medication. But I know a lot of people who get relief taking antihistamines.

<<<<<< the one on the right in my icon was such a sweetheart but HUGE -- 80 lbs of muscle!
8:35 am
Uneaixoise

8:36 am

One of my neighbors has some little yippy dog that looks like a rat and barks constantly. It's name is Taos. I call it Chaos.

Uneaixoise
agreed, ruby --people always told me how aggressive they were but the one time I "met" one in a state park, he was so sweet and followed me all over the place :-)

there are also a few that take minor key songs and change them into a major key - but weirdly enough, it seemed to me that that change did not make nearly as much of a difference - i thought those songs retained their original emotional impact.

I'm sorry for your loss MLF. My husband had colorectal cancer. He was diagnosed in July 2015 and died 4 months to the day from diagnoses. There were complications from the chemo and radiation treatments. I was not ready to let him go but could not bear watching him suffer. I miss him so much.

I have four other great sons and they have been wonderful helping me through both losses. However, I am having a time coming to terms with losing my husband. He was never sick. I was always the one that stayed sick. It seems it should have been me rather than him. Not having a pity party, just realizing you never know what life is going to throw at you.

2:15 pm

but you can have all that wealth but without water to grow things you might as well throw it awaay

yeah, we've really screwed things up, haven't we. dogs, kids, the planet ...
2:54 pm

Why do so many dogs have problems now? Additives in dog food? Antibiotics or hormones in dog food?
2:54 pm
welki
the universe has turned hypersensitive
2:55 pm
rururocks
Imagines hego eating Campbell's soup daily :D
2:55 pm
hego
No dog of mine ever complained. lol
2:55 pm
welki
no clue, scrabbler - i'd guess for the same reasons so many children are food sensitive, too
2:55 pm
Scrabbler
We see so many food allergies in kids,especially peanut allergies.
2:55 pm
rururocks
goldens are sensitive dogs
2:55 pm
hego
They gobbled the stuff right up.
2:56 pm
rururocks
I'm allergic to nuts but not peanuts
2:56 pm

a lot of the purebred dogs I know have allergies ... overbreeding maybe?
2:56 pm
welki
same as one of my grand-kids, ru -- tree nuts are taboo, peanuts are fine
2:56 pm
rururocks
just genetics ori.. my other dogs never had allergies
2:56 pm
Scrabbler
Peanuts are not tree nuts, they are actually beans.
2:57 pm
welki
yummy legumes :)
2:57 pm
rururocks
Dylan's mom is allergic.. the breeder now says had she known she wouldn't have bred her
2:57 pm

Is Dylan a lab?
2:57 pm

baxter's parents had no allergies - i'm just lucky
2:57 pm

he's a golden retriever

wooo hooo.. we're both "lucky" welki :D
2:58 pm

is it baxter and dylan who are related? or was it monty?
2:59 pm
rururocks
monty was related to your Baxter
3:00 pm
rururocks
and our other dog Lily too
3:00 pm
Scrabbler
Did you two know this before you knew each other?
3:00 pm
rururocks
no.. we found out by looking at relatives
3:00 pm
Scrabbler
Interesting.
3:00 pm
rururocks
Monty's father was a very famous dog
3:00 pm
welki
no, scrabbs - it came up in chat one evening, we were talking bloodlines and voila - turns out that ru and i are distantly related through our beautiful boys
3:01 pm
rururocks
I think grand parents wasn't it Welki?
3:01 pm
welki
yes, i believe so
3:02 pm
rururocks
I like your icon welki
3:02 pm
welki
it's not bax, but it's appropriate - the cone of shame
3:05 pm
welki
i've always had dogs, even another golden retriever, but they all came to me 'previously owned.' baxter was my first puppy, from a good breeder i still keep in touch with, but i've got to say - no more puppies, and likely, the next dog, if there ever is another, will be a mutt
3:05 pm
welki
...but i think bax and murray are my last dogs
3:06 pm
rururocks
no more pups for me either. I'm too old to survive another
3:10 pm
Scrabbler
What is the typical training period?
3:11 pm
rururocks
with goldens?
3:12 pm
rururocks
your whole life :D
3:12 pm
Scrabbler
For a puppy? To get them trained to sleep well overnight, to stay in a crate, to pee and poop outside.
3:13 pm
rururocks
oh.. just a week or so.. Dylan was pretty good about that
3:13 pm
rururocks
Monty was a dream when it came to that
3:13 pm
welki
they're just like kids, scrabb - every one is different. baxter was a pain in the neck.
3:13 pm
rururocks
yeah.. pretty much
3:14 pm
rururocks
monty got it right away.. just whined his first night and then all was ok
3:14 pm
hego
that's pretty quick.
3:15 pm
rururocks
we were bonded from when he was 3 weeks old
3:16 pm
welki
having dogs is like being in bondage :)
3:16 pm
rururocks
I only do bondage on the weekends :D who has the time?
3:17 pm
welki
i suppose - my hands are tied during the week
3:18 pm
rururocks
(just kidding) for all the lurkers out there
3:18 pm
Scrabbler
Same with bunnies. They expect to be fed (salads morning and evening) when they want. The other night when I was getting ready for bed I looked around for Remy because he is usually right outside the bathroom. I went to my bedroom and he was sitting right next to my pillow. *squeal*
3:18 pm
welki
like the german friar, hego - add a letter
3:18 pm
welki
he was ready for bed, scrabbler - and waiting for you :)
3:19 pm
Scrabbler
Danke,welki.
3:19 pm

I went all around that one
3:19 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, welki. He sleep in my room now that I stopped putting up the gate at the bottom of the stairs.
3:19 pm
rururocks
I need to go run some errands. Have fun everyone
3:20 pm
Scrabbler
Bye, Ruru
3:21 pm
welki
sometimes, we're surprised when our companion animals do precisely what we've hoped they'd do (and have kept them from doing by putting up gates, barriers, etc)
3:22 pm
Scrabbler
I have to keep one bedroom door closed, and bunny-proof stuff in my room.
3:23 pm
Scrabbler
Well,I need to bunny-proof everywhere.
3:23 pm
welki
i remember doing the same when my girls had bunnies - notorious cord chewers
3:24 pm
Scrabbler
SO many cords--alarm clocks, lamps, phone chargers...
3:26 pm

Don't use duct tape. ;)
3:27 pm

Over 40 inches of snow in some places. Thankfully it seems like there are no widespread power outages.
3:50 pm

3:53 pm

it is difficult to imagine that much snow, I hope it soon melts very slowly, you do not want to be flooded.
3:54 pm
Scrabbler
Ah,now my 84 mother is on the phone telling me about her bloated belly and gas.
3:54 pm

Unfortunately there is already much flooding in coastal areas due to high tide, wind and full moon. What a mess, glad I am far away

Well, I get to listen to this everyday, and sometimes more than once a day--what she ate, what is bothering her,etc.

my mom was like that too...meanwhile don't waste breath
3:59 pm
therealblah
oops don't waste breath talking to her about her diet lol
4:01 pm
therealblah
'e.g., perhaps cake should not be the primary source of your caloric intake
4:03 pm
Scrabbler
She eats healthy food because I shop for her every Monday.
4:05 pm
Scrabbler
But I explained to her that vegetables do cause gas and being inactive (she mostly sits all day but uses a walker to get to the bathroom) contributes to gas.
4:05 pm
therealblah
oh that's good. We had to talk my mom out of eating chicken that had been in her freezer for 12 years. ("But that's such a waste of money!")
4:05 pm
therealblah
has she tried something like beano?
4:07 pm
therealblah
'yes the veggies will do that, but better than not eating them at all
4:10 pm
Scrabbler
I should buy Beano. I bought her a multistrain probiotic supplement but then she complained that that made her gassy too.
4:11 pm

has anyone seen hego?

I swear by beano.

Just fine; kind of thinking you have our "normal" January weather again.
5:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
i certainly hope this weather is not normal for you. it is a winter hurricane.
5:21 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, 18-30 inches is just a normal snowstorm for us.
5:22 pm
Nef
:-) We've had probably more winters with nasty storms that these last 2 wimpy ones.
5:24 pm
Nef
The difference is that Minnesota has always known how to deal with them (because we're used to it)
5:24 pm

Hey all
5:26 pm

Just finishing up my last few.
5:26 pm

Areas are only equipped to deal with snowfall that they are used to. Most of the areas getting hit with this storm are not equipped to deal with it. I don't know how people who get this kind of snow all the time drive in blizzard/white out conditions. Or how delivery trucks get things into the stores and gas stations.
5:26 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, we are accustomed to this weather.
5:28 pm
Nef
I know, Molly. Here in MN we are used to bad winters; but it seems we aren't used to the wimpy ones. I feel bad that you guys are having such a tough time with this weather; but at least it Sounds like people are taking it seriously.

It is going to be days/a week before this area gets over a snowfall this big.
5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh my. the area is so close, i forget the climate differences.
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
they were wrong about a lot of this one. one good error is that the snow is now light, helping the issue of wires and tree limbs. but it is going to rain and get warm mid week. it will flood.

9:57 pm
Aloyisius
super.. I actually attacked a closet yesterday and also did some very overdue filing.. bad weather helps those put off indoor chores
9:59 pm
jmcnrick
snowy up in your parts too?
10:01 pm
Aloyisius
nope.. am in SW Fla. Today was extremely windy and cool. I worked out in the grove with my favorite fuzzy hat from up north and a vest and long sleeved shirt..
10:02 pm
jmcnrick
ah. . . had you in the midwest in my head. . . . well no insulation in fla. so that can be chilly
10:04 pm
Aloyisius
yes indeed.. the windows here that are installed when you build a house are pathetic compared to the ones up north..
10:05 pm
Aloyisius
seems to me that if you have a good window against the cold, it would also be a good window against the heat..
10:05 pm
jmcnrick
i had an apartment in Houston that the front door was glass slats. . . .you could never keep the wind out of that
10:06 pm
jmcnrick
you are right of course snuffy but many designs come from pre-a/c
10:06 pm
Aloyisius
eek, not good at all
10:12 pm
Aloyisius
ah, nice when you can remember an obscure word from a past Babble grid.. but I would not have been able to spot si6.18 without Lickety's clues, I confess
10:13 pm
jmcnrick
I have several words i learned from babble. . . cant say that si6/18 comes to mind
10:14 pm
jmcnrick
what does that mean?
10:14 pm
Aloyisius
it is like "no sound" with a vowel attached
10:15 pm
Aloyisius
.. and the last letter of the "no sound" omitted
10:15 pm
jmcnrick
