busy busy, lol. Preparing for Caya's birthday celebration tomorrow. I finished the photo albums, made the cook book... now only the book with her birth congratulation cards... and shopping... and cooking... and wrapping gifts...

1:54 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you're well on track. I'm sure she'll be delighted. Have you managed to keep it all secret?

1:55 am

sprite

most of it, yes. *hugs* back at you, btw! I hope you and your beloved are well?

1:55 am

Lizlin

We're very well - as usual!

1:55 am

sprite

that is good to hear :)

1:55 am

Lizlin

Did you see earlier in the chat, there were some dictionary words?

1:56 am

sprite

ks killed. No, didn't see it. Do you remember what time?

1:57 am

Lizlin

12.43 - 1248

1:57 am

Lizlin

Still missing 2 x k

1:57 am

Lizlin

12.48 - of course!

1:58 am

Lizlin

Hah! K's killed here too.

1:59 am

sprite

good job. I like the words, am adding them

2:00 am

Lizlin

I shared the dictionary with some friends today - they loved it.

2:00 am

Lizlin

Came about after a discussion on FB.

2:02 am

sprite

great :) It is there to be shared. Glad they liked it.

2:02 am

sprite

added the new words, they are good :D Especially your mockart and zooz' lockart.

2:03 am

Lizlin

I loved Zooz' word.

2:04 am

hurshy

why did i think grok was a word

2:04 am

sprite

hiya hursh. Because it should be. Looks like one. Do you know the def?

2:05 am

hurshy

i'm thinking something in the food and drink area?

2:05 am

Lizlin

Hi hurshy

2:05 am

hurshy

but no

2:05 am

sprite

with a good def I will add it to our own dictionary. Who needs enable, right?

2:05 am

hurshy

it was made up for a book in 1961

2:06 am

sprite

phantom: sorrow

2:06 am

hurshy

it's a verb meaning to understand by intuition or empathy

2:06 am

sprite

ah ok. In that case I cannot claim it for our dictionary :( Too bad it was already invented.

2:07 am

hurshy

oh but it does say that

2:07 am

hurshy

it literally meant "to drink", and then by metaphor got to be the other thing

2:07 am

hurshy

i haven't read the book it is in but must have read or heard someone who later borrowed it i guess

2:07 am

sprite

very cool word, I like it

2:08 am

hurshy

now i want to read this book

2:08 am

sprite

wth I will add it anyway. We make our own rules ads we go, lol

2:08 am

hurshy

"Stranger in a Strange Land", Robert Heinlein

2:09 am

Lizlin

Wonderful book!

2:09 am

sprite

great book indeed. Added the word and mentioned the writer.

2:09 am

Lizlin

OK - got to go. Hugs to all. PS. Sprite, I just emailed you!

2:09 am

hurshy

i shall add it to my list to read

2:10 am

sprite

awesome, checking. *hugs* Liz!

2:10 am

hurshy

phantom: ogre

2:10 am

hurshy

bye liz

2:10 am

sprite

I love "The Moon is a harsh mistress". And the word 'tanstaafl' that is in it.

2:13 am

hurshy

weird that we can have brrr but not grrr

2:15 am

sprite

my thoughts exactly

2:15 am

sprite

I think 'mrrw' and 'mrrrw' should be valid too. I mean, if oink is.

2:16 am

hurshy

well we have meow and miaou for that

2:16 am

sprite

to sorrode - to be worn away by sorrow

2:16 am

sprite

yeah but my cat didn't say meow or miaou. He said a clear 'mrrrrw'.

2:17 am

hurshy

oh sprite, the other day i thought of something else funny. frank sinatra sang "come fly with me", but then in "i get a kick out of you" he says that flying too high with some gal in the sky is his idea of nothing to do! the man was clearly unstable.

2:18 am

sprite

*giggles* True, dat!

2:19 am

hurshy

do we know if the k's are all 4's?

2:20 am

sprite

one of them is a plural, a 5. The rest is 4.

2:20 am

hurshy

*she has the plural, and finds herself rather dopey*

2:21 am

sprite

lololol I know that feeling

2:24 am

sprite

how odd that ra6/33 is a word but it doesn't extend to a 7?

2:24 am

hurshy

haven't done R's yet

2:24 am

hurshy

i suppose it rhymes with gr7

2:25 am

sprite

ah, it is an adjective. Scots of course. That is why.

2:25 am

sprite

hehehe yes it does

2:25 am

hurshy

like muckle!

2:26 am

sprite

gotta love enable

2:30 am

sprite

odorm - smelly student bedroom

2:30 am

hurshy

*sheds a tear for mork from ork*

2:31 am

sprite

nanu nanu

2:31 am

Lizlin

Nanu Nanu - I spotted that! As you can see, I'm back :)

2:32 am

sprite

wb! Loved your email

2:32 am

Lizlin

Love odorm - very apt since we've just invited 4 travelling gap year students (son of a friend and his mates) to stay with us at the end of February. It'll be testosterone central!

2:33 am

Lizlin

I thought you'd like it. 3 of us had a good joke there - the other, I'm not so sure about!

2:33 am

sprite

lol indeed! Fun though. You will have a grand time with them

2:33 am

Lizlin

I'm sure we will!

2:33 am

sprite

yeah... some people don't have that kind of humour, I guess

2:34 am

Lizlin

We phoned the local high school yesterday - their notice board was promoting the Swimming Carnvial!

2:34 am

sprite

what is that?

2:35 am

Lizlin

Well, English is not her first language and I don't think she always gets all the nuances. She was having a bit of a dig about us pointing out grammar mistakes and spelling mistakes. All very friendly of course.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Carnvial - Carnival!

2:35 am

Lizlin

That's why we phoned the school.

2:35 am

sprite

oh lol! The spelling mistake was on the website! I thought it was you :)

2:36 am

Lizlin

It was on the school notice board outside the school.

2:36 am

sprite

it is hard to get all nuances in another language. Some things go way over my head here too.

2:36 am

Lizlin

Didn't reflect well on the school! I said Peter shouldn't phone because the mistakes they make, make me laugh!

2:36 am

Lizlin

Very true.

2:36 am

Lizlin

Not about you - about the nuances.

2:36 am

hurshy

never thought i'd be so frustrated by NOT having "re" in the grid

2:36 am

sprite

true! But kind of fun to be able to tell a school to clean up their spelling.

2:37 am

sprite

one for the books, hursh :)

2:37 am

Lizlin

I'm sadly lacking in 8s (missing 3) and 7s (missing 4)

2:37 am

sprite

both are true, Liz, grin

2:37 am

hurshy

cr + connects shinbone to foot

2:37 am

Lizlin

Yeah - kind of fun. There was also a 2nd joke going on there between one friend and me about disliking use of lol!

2:38 am

sprite

I am very fond of lol. Because in dutch, lol means fun.

2:38 am

Lizlin

Thanks hurshy - had that missing the first letter.

2:39 am

hurshy

gr7/8 rhymes with what football players do

2:39 am

Lizlin

We both think it's becoming so over-used!

2:39 am

sprite

those are my 2 8s. Don't have the others yet.

2:39 am

Lizlin

So it does - thanks again.

2:39 am

hurshy

i'm missing the other two also sprite

2:39 am

Lizlin

I have the ac 8

2:39 am

hurshy

*looks*

2:39 am

sprite

yeah it is, Liz, that is true. Have to admit I do too.

2:40 am

Lizlin

That's a weird one! I can clue it (well I'll try) if you'd like.

2:40 am

hurshy

yes please

2:40 am

Lizlin

It's becoming like innit in England.

2:40 am

Lizlin

ac + half of a flower + not many, nor few but ..

2:41 am

sprite

found it, thanks Liz

2:41 am

hurshy

ty

2:41 am

Lizlin

I've just read the meaning - not surprised I didn't know it.

2:41 am

sprite

innit... another fun one.

2:41 am

hurshy

i can't find any of those 2nd row 5th column O's

2:41 am

Lizlin

yw

2:41 am

Kateq

can some one help with the os6? I'm stumped

2:42 am

hurshy

ooh maybe that is from that o!

2:42 am

Lizlin

The guy in our local bottle shop (off license) in England, used innit at all times.

2:42 am

sprite

os + blind digging animal

2:42 am

hurshy

os + rodenty kinda creature

2:42 am

Lizlin

os + blind animal.

2:42 am

sprite

and hiya Kateq :)

2:42 am

Lizlin

Someone earlier clued os7 as a toothy word, which I liked.

2:42 am

hurshy

my clue now seems ridiculously vague

2:42 am

Kateq

oh--so obvious once I'm told (lol) Thanks!

2:43 am

sprite

hindsight is 20/20, or so they say

2:43 am

Lizlin

Perhaps the best type, hurshy. Doesn't give too much away.

2:43 am

hurshy

apparently they aren't rodents, but "insectivores"

2:43 am

sprite

as long as it works, hursh, it is a good clue

2:44 am

sprite

could be but they look a lot like rats, so as a clue it works just fine!

2:44 am

Lizlin

And they're not actually blind either!

2:44 am

sprite

they do dig, though

2:45 am

Lizlin

They do.

2:45 am

sprite

1 out of 3 isn't too bad, innit?

2:45 am

Lizlin

innit!

2:45 am

Lizlin

that's how he'd use the word.

2:45 am

sprite

:D

2:45 am

Lizlin

As a reply / statement.

2:45 am

hurshy

but there are apparently blind mole rats, separate species, which ARE blind AND rodents, they are not related to moles but were named that because they live underground, like moles.

2:46 am

Lizlin

So derivative!!!!

2:46 am

sprite

are those the naked ones that look like limp penises?

2:46 am

hurshy

i love derivative

2:46 am

Lizlin

:)

2:46 am

hurshy

there are several species, sprite, so perhaps one of them

2:47 am

Lizlin

I just googled them! So quite probably is my answer.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Smorg - the way I pronouce Smaug

2:48 am

sprite

hehehe nice one!

2:48 am

Lizlin

au - as in autumn.

2:49 am

hurshy

ortumn?

2:49 am

sprite

lol

2:49 am

Lizlin

that's the UK pronunciation.

2:49 am

Lizlin

Or definitely the London one.

2:50 am

hurshy

i was gonna say - doubt the queen says it that way

2:50 am

sprite

but the queen is only allowed to speak with two hot potatoes in her mouth

2:51 am

Lizlin

Bet she does say it that way!

2:51 am

Lizlin

Even with a minimum of 2 potatoes in her mouth.

2:51 am

hurshy

i know one of her chaplains, maybe i can ask him

2:51 am

Lizlin

Why not?

2:51 am

sprite

good idea. Tell him it is for the education of babblers worldwide.

2:52 am

hurshy

i am totally stuck on the first co6/24

2:52 am

hurshy

2:53 am

Lizlin

Don't have it - sorry.

What movie was Granny's church showing this evening?

2:55 am

sprite

she didn't say

2:55 am

hurshy

i love the line from the Christmas hymn, "ra4 on ra4 the host descending..."

2:55 am

Lizlin

Don't know it - but I think I have that ra 4!

2:56 am

sprite

all through the night?

2:59 am

Lizlin

OK - soon be time for dinner here. Probably won't catch you tomorrow evening - we're going out to eat with friends.

2:59 am

sprite

3:00 am

Lizlin

If I don't catch you - have a lovely time celebrating with Caya. Hugs to all

3:07 am

Hi folks

6:53 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, gr7 = a type of bird, similar to a starling

6:53 am

car.eeyore

good morning

6:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car. I did some reading about RFA of the SI joint.It is done on the nerves in that area and can be effective for up to 2 years.

6:55 am

car.eeyore

You think it would be a good way to proceed?

6:55 am

car.eeyore

And Thank you for even taking the time to look at it.

6:55 am

car.eeyore

You are a blessing to me.

6:56 am

car.eeyore

My question is this, though, if the nerve is already compromised/damaged, how does damaging further help?

6:56 am

Scrabbler

I wanted to both learn about it and be able to comment on it for you. I read several sites. You have tried time, PT, pain meds, injection of steroid/anesthetic, and you are still suffering.

6:57 am

Scrabbler

Ablating the nerve blocks you from experiencing pain.

6:58 am

car.eeyore

But the damage will still be there even when the nerve "heals" from the abalation, no?

7:00 am

car.eeyore

oooh...gr 4/8...I'd like a glass or two!

7:00 am

Scrabbler

The goal is to "kill" the nerve by heating it in that spot.

7:02 am

Scrabbler

But the nerve can regenerate over time.

7:02 am

car.eeyore

I think, at this point, it really is my only option, besides more drugs.

7:04 am

Scrabbler

I have had sacroiliitis myself in the past and know how much it hurts. I have been fortunate that the condition has self-resolved. But it hurts a lot and interferes with daily life, especially sleep.

7:04 am

bichon

ty Scrabs

7:04 am

Scrabbler

I wonder what gr4 tastes like.

7:05 am

car.eeyore

We had an excellent view of my left SI joint the other day and you could see the areas of arthritis developing. :(

7:05 am

car.eeyore

I'm hopeful it tastes like rum!

There is a Senior Services Van. He also has congestive heart failure and is coughing now, but needs dialysis at 11:30 in order for heart to get a load of fluid off.

7:26 am

Riverdance

I dealt with back pain for years....SI joint especially. Had PT, chiro, injections and nothing worked. The new Ortho I saw decided to check my hip because of the odd way I was walking. Found I was bone on bone. I had my hip replacement last year and guess what - no more back pain. Strange right!

7:27 am

Riverdance

your poor neighbor scrabbs

7:27 am

Allright, River.

neck armor/

2:59 pm

MLFAN17

?

2:59 pm

MollyL

As this is an international board, I find it funny that people reference "this time of day". Or say "good morning" when it is afternoon or evening for some. I guess we all stay focused on our own little world.

3:00 pm

MollyL

Oh come on MLF. You don't get decked out in suits of armor?
: D

3:00 pm

Nef

It's 3 PM here. I always get mixed up about times with people from other countries, especially Australia

3:00 pm

its just a time difference foreign countries are ahead in time from the US

3:00 pm

MLFAN17

molly not in public

3:01 pm

nef I know that Italy is 7 hrs ahead and korea actually is a day difference.. 11 or 12 hrs ahead if I remember correctly

3:04 pm

Nef

I know several online friends in Australia, and for some of them they are going to bed when I'm getting up; but others areaway for several hours longer.

3:06 pm

nef most I have seen in here are going to bed when we get up as well

3:09 pm

The majority of people who chat here are in US time zones

3:09 pm

I don't know if this has been posted here. I just read a message on Caring Bridge. From usue re Frank. "The end is near" she said. The hospice nurse was there and Frank was made comfortable. But probably will not last another day or two.

3:10 pm

MollyL

Thank you Peri. A few people have mentioned that about Sue and Frank. I have been keeping them both in my prayers.

3:10 pm

I'm glad you mentioned it for the people who had not seen it. It's a time for good thoughts and prayers for them.

3:11 pm

MLFAN17

very sad though whoever it is not a happy way to start out a new year

3:12 pm

MollyL

I'm glad that Sue and Frank got a chance to rekindle their love affair before all this crappy stuff happened.

3:13 pm

Soodle

Oh Lord. I just cannot imagine what both of them are enduring right now. My most sincere, ardent prayers are for both Frank & Sue. What an incredibly difficult time it is for both right now.

3:15 pm

Nef

MLF, it's babbler use. She's such a dear person; my heart is so sad for her.

3:16 pm

Nef

Uusue>

3:16 pm

MLFAN17

ohh uusue thank you for letting me know

3:17 pm

MollyL

It's hard to sit with someone you love and watch them pass. I did it with both of my parents. The only comfort is believing they are on their way to a better place.

3:18 pm

Soodle

Dear to very many of us, Nef. May she find the strength to get through this hideously difficult time.

3:18 pm

MLFAN17

molly so sad for you

3:19 pm

MollyL

It was sad, but my parents brought me into this world. I was grateful that I could see them onto the next.

3:20 pm

MLFAN17

how long has it been molly?

3:20 pm

MLFAN17

I didn't see my father pass but he is with the angels now

3:20 pm

Nef

Molly, I've been there when several of our family members have died; sometimes it's heart-breaking but other times it's actually been very peaceful & (dare I say?) beautiful & spiritual even.

3:21 pm

Soodle

Molly - that was a very

3:21 pm

MLFAN17

nef that is not uncommon as people feel they go onto a better place

3:22 pm

Soodle

Molly - the sentiments in your last post were lovely. Thank you.

3:24 pm

Nef

I truly believe that there is a heaven & also a hell. In my working life; I saw 2 men that when they died it pretty much scared the daylights out of me; later their family members told us that they weren't go4 people & the families were glad they died.
Pretty sad to hear that

3:25 pm

MLFAN17

yikes nef

3:25 pm

MollyL

I don't believe in Hell. I think Hell is a concept created by the religious that want people to "follow and obey". I believe that there is a better place for all souls beyond this one.

3:26 pm

MLFAN17

I have 60 left may be back poof for now

3:26 pm

Soodle

My eyesight is a bit blurry with tears. I'll bid you all a very good night now. UUSue - if you read this, I will say special prayers tonight for Frank. Good night all.

3:26 pm

Nef

Good Night Soodle, take care!

3:29 pm

Which Eastern religion is it that believes that when you die you are reborn in a different form so you may try to attain perfection? (Sorry, I can't remember). None of us can predict what happens on the other side.
