nor, did I, until I checked the dictionary
1:12 am
flosey
as is the case with a few words in here!
1:12 am
VolleymomDee
again, agree!!
1:15 am
meliae
To look at that word it gives no clues to its meaning
1:15 am
VolleymomDee
sure doesn't
1:16 am
meliae
I would think a plant description or something along those lines.
1:17 am
Kamanjah
I try to use these words as a learning tool - if I don't know what it means, I usually look it up. I always have two dictionaries open right next to Babble. I still forget all of the currencies and weights though!
1:18 am
VolleymomDee
I can never remember those either, kam.

Snack time, tonight we will be having dark chocolate and raspberries (which I paid a fortune for but they looked so good)
1:33 am
Kamanjah
sounds yummy! I love both, but haven't had any chocolate in over a year. Gads, that sounds good!
1:34 am
meliae
Dark chocolate is very good for you and with fruut it takes away my sweet cravings. Brb
1:34 am
rururocks
<---I don't eat chocolate
1:36 am
Kamanjah
I rarely do, and only dark. I don't even like milk chocolate for some reason.
Hi, Ru
1:37 am
rururocks
I rarely do.. sometimes it will bring on a migraine.. so I'm really careful
1:38 am
Kamanjah
Migraines suck. I never found my trigger, but whatever it was, I managed to cut it out when I did a massive cut to what I eat about 18 months ago.
1:39 am
Kamanjah
voila, no migraines since. So, I live without a lot of things I used to eat, but I live better, and that's what counts in the long run, I think.
1:40 am
rururocks
yeah.. that's how I look at it too
1:40 am
rururocks
I don't drink beer for the same reason
1:42 am
Kamanjah
I like brown ale. Regular beer is boring. But the ale doesn't bother me, fortunately. Neither does red wine, which I really enjoy having, especially with a good meal.
1:43 am
rururocks
I like dark beers too.. just can't handle them though.
1:43 am
rururocks
I do enjoy red wine.. but can't mix it without consequences
1:45 am
Kamanjah
Mixing usually has consequences...ugh!
1:45 am
rururocks
yes.. I miss the days when I could do anything I want :D
1:46 am
meliae
Hi Ru, so what do you eat when you get a craving for sweets?
1:46 am
rururocks
I usually have a popsicle or fruit
1:47 am
rururocks
I think this is the biggest babblet grid of all time
1:50 am
meliae
Awwwwwww ok I am better now, my itching is off the hook tonight.
1:50 am
rururocks
itching?
1:51 am
meliae
My back the N.P. is bad tonight
1:52 am
rururocks
oh.. that's an awful thing
1:52 am
rururocks
my ex had that on occasion
1:54 am
meliae
Dr. Presribed some new medication and of co6/21 I have to wait for approval from insurance, but hopefully it will help.
1:55 am
Kamanjah
I get the itching sometimes too, it's crazy. Especially if I try to nap in the afternoon, for some stupid, unknown reason.
1:55 am
rururocks
that is a maddening thing
1:56 am
Kamanjah
I saw my doc on the 5th, and the new Rx he ordered is waiting for me to pick up tomorrow...why do insurance companies do that? Especially with what they charge!!
1:57 am
meliae
Well whatever this stuff is he said dont waste it as medicare will only pay for 60 grams a year
1:58 am
Kamanjah
Geez! But each Medicare Rx company covers different things. I've had to shop every year to make sure the one med I really need is covered.
1:59 am
rururocks
oh medicare sounds like a hoot
2:00 am
Kamanjah
gah! The medical coverage is decent, at least it has been good for my needs since 2000. But the Rx coverage is awful. At least they offer it now - before they offered Rx I was lucky enough to have another company covering the necessary Rx.
2:01 am
meliae
The insurance from my work which is still in effect is even worse for approving things, they overlap on Dr visits, procefures etc, but medications are always a fight.
2:02 am
Kamanjah
Before hubby retired, I was on his policy. We got married in 2011 and he added me and I didn't pay a penny for the places that insurance covered, between the Medicare and that insurance, all I spent was $5 per med a month.
The overlap can get confusing though, depending on your age and Medicare status. It really is a mess.
2:04 am
rururocks
thankfully for now.. I don't take many medications.. mostly allergy meds
2:05 am
Kamanjah
That's good though. I think everyone has allergies these days with all the stuff that gets sprayed, especially in CA agricultural areas!
2:06 am
meliae
I only take a few pain meds rarely, and mine are mostly ointments for Ls and NP thank goodness I would go nuts if I had to fight for any more.
2:06 am
meliae
Ru, do you use local honey?
2:06 am
rururocks
sort of mel
2:06 am
rururocks
when the farmer's markets are going
2:07 am
meliae
It has been proven to help with allergies.
2:07 am
Kamanjah
We're lucky to be rural. Local honey is sold all over! I love buying direct from the beekeepers!
2:07 am
rururocks
my new neighborhood doesn't have many olive trees so that's going to help me
2:08 am
rururocks
do you have to comb the area for beekeepers Kama :D
2:08 am
meliae
Are you all moved in now?
2:08 am
rururocks
no.. i'll be in on the 20th
2:09 am
Kamanjah
They all advertise on Facebook, plus sell at the feed store and a lot of other local stores.
2:09 am
rururocks
bought some new furniture today for the house though with a friend
2:11 am
rururocks
A bed for the guest room and a new living room couch and a new kingsize bed for my room
2:12 am
meliae
Nice, I need a new mattress but iget so confused when I go look. I think I am just going to get another pillow top Serta
2:13 am
rururocks
just get a really knowledgeable sales guy mel.. that really helps.
2:13 am
Kamanjah
I gave up on new pillow tops. I think we need a new mattress, the one we're both getting back pain from is over 15 years old, and I think it's time to try something else.
2:14 am
rururocks
I am getting a king-size bed for me and the two dogs :D
2:14 am
rururocks
eventually they'll get kicked out of bed though :D
2:15 am
meliae
I looked at the sleep number beds, thinking they would be good for when my Fibro is bad I can adjust accordingly. I really need to talk to someone who actually has one.
2:15 am
Kamanjah
That's what we need! We have a queen and a Springer Spaniel. He's a pillow lover - sometimes I jump in bed so quickly I surprise myself - I want to beat him to the pillows! I need them under my knees and he wants to be right on them!
2:16 am
meliae
Sure they will, you will be on the couch and the dogs will be in the bed.
2:16 am
rururocks
ha.. I went out on my first date recently
2:16 am
Kamanjah
I started reading reviews on those sleep number beds last week. It's confusing. If they're just air mattresses, I don't know that they'd hold up to the dog!
2:16 am
meliae
I wonder where Rose is, I hope she is ok
2:17 am
rururocks
I'm doing a real mattress
2:17 am
meliae
Oooooo do tell, how did the date go?
2:17 am
rururocks
rose waits for sprite mostly
2:17 am
Kamanjah
You mean your first recent date? You can't convince me you never had a date before, lol!
2:17 am
meliae
That was through the realator right?
2:18 am
Kamanjah
...waiting for details...
2:18 am
rururocks
it was really nice.. she was nice and very talkative.. she actually did most of the talking. we had a nice dinner and the restaurant took really great care of us we closed the place :D
2:18 am
meliae
YesKam, that is what I mean about confusing.
2:19 am
rururocks
my first date since my divorce kama
2:19 am
meliae
I hope she is a word lover, lol
2:19 am
rururocks
it's taken me a while to get ready to date
2:20 am
flosey
sounds like it went quite well, ru
2:20 am
meliae
You had dates every night mostly with all your babble ladies :p
2:20 am
rururocks
it was really nice.. I wasn't nervous at all
2:20 am
rururocks
:D mel@
2:21 am
Kamanjah
Well, I'm glad you did it Ru! Sounds like you enjoyed it, or you two wouldn't have closed the place.
2:21 am
rururocks
I wasn't facing the restaurant and eventually I got up to use the restroom and saw the restaurant was empty Duh-oh
2:22 am
meliae
My fear of dating is how do I explain sudden itchy urgings that make rub my back on a corner or grab ink oens or whatever to itch lol
2:22 am
Kamanjah
At least the server didn't approach and tell you they closed an hour ago...(assuming at my own risk)
2:24 am
Kamanjah
Gads, I am SO lucky I met my hubby. We're both older and broken, and he is so sweet when I can't manage things. And if he can't manage, we hire a friend's kids for yard work. He's been doing REALLY well this year - on new meds for his PD, and they seem to help him a lot.
2:25 am
rururocks
what's PD?
2:26 am
Kamanjah
Parkinson's
2:27 am
rururocks
that's good news that they have better medicines for that
2:28 am
meliae
I am struggling with K words
2:28 am
rururocks
I did a benefit for the Michael J Fox foundation a year ago
2:28 am
Kamanjah
He's still dependent on the same med they used in the 60s. The newest thing is the brain implant. Now, THAT is scary stuff. His neuro recommended, but he said no way, not yet.
2:28 am
meliae
Yes my uncle has PD and has improved on whatever new meds they are giving him.
2:29 am
Kamanjah
Cool, Ru, thank you! Research seems to be stuck a bit lately. A couple of newish things, but still in trials and not available.
2:29 am
rururocks
it did raise a lot of money over $100K
2:29 am
Kamanjah
Hubby just got the dosage corrected and got his diabetes under control. But he bought cookies the other day again, grrr!
2:31 am
Kamanjah
Great, Ru!! They do a lot of good research, it's just so slow when dealing with neuroreceptors. They're finding a different spot in the brain can affect it too, I don't remember all the details, just read the article last week though.
2:34 am
meliae
Brb dog wants out.
2:35 am
rururocks
I'm trying to get down to 50 here
2:37 am
Kamanjah
this grid has a heck of a lot of words I've had to look up - old coinage, weights and measures, alternate spellings...I want to finish, but am getting sleepy. 29 left.
2:38 am
rururocks
I also am striking out on the k
2:38 am
rururocks
i have two k words
2:40 am
Kamanjah
I finally got 4, only 2 I've seen before. I had to break down and list. I like to wait till I'm at least to 80%, but broke down tonite at 78.
2:40 am
Kamanjah
The cat sat on the enter key, lol
2:42 am
rururocks
i think I'll stop at 55 to go for now.. nice chatting with you kama.. glad you're doing better
2:43 am
meliae
Good night Ru, sweet dreams, go to bed no sleeping in the chair, lol
2:44 am
Kamanjah
Thanks, good chatting with you too. One K is Japanese syllabic script - like I know anything about Japanese! Sweet dreams!
2:46 am

I'm tired now
2:52 am

Waiting for this elusive spring
3:36 am
rubyfoo
the bulbs are all budded, just need a couple of warm days as it's still freezing at night
3:37 am

spring is definitely on its inmarch
3:37 am

How about you? How has the wintr been with all the rain and grey skies?
3:37 am
sprite
and emotionally, ruby? How are you doing?
3:37 am
rubyfoo
depressed but fighting it
3:38 am
sprite
the winter hasn't been wintry much here. Wet, wet, wet. And yes, grey grey grey too. We have a bit of freeze in the nights now, and some sun in the days.
3:38 am
rubyfoo
and hoping that the radiation will help the pain, but so far, no change
3:38 am

you are one helluva strong puppie, ruby *hugs*
3:38 am

the snowbirds were disappointed as there was much less snow than usual

pain is a lady dog for sure. Will send up some more prayers to the Big Guy to help you heal.
3:39 am

Was there enough ice to skate this year?
3:40 am

oh no, not by a long shot. And no snow at all. Well, wet snow. But nothing that stayed for more than an hour.

4:12 am

*giggle* i am exhausted. have only just finished dinner and it is after 9pm.
4:13 am
grannyrose
started with doing the dishes, then wrote the shopping list (and you know what that entails), then sorted, folded and ironed yesterdays washing, then for 3 hours was out supporting church's fundraising effort.
4:14 am
sprite
good grief, rose! Will you please slow down a little and not overdo stuff? :)
4:14 am
rubyfoo
that's too much in one day!
4:14 am
grannyrose
we did half the shopping on the way home, called in at the church where we had "happy" hour to destress from the stall.
4:15 am
grannyrose
but, but, .....this is the old rose..... firing on all 8 cylinders.... lolll
4:16 am
sprite
I know, it is an awesome feeling. But darling, slow down, ok? Your body is not the old rose body, and you need to pace yourself. Even when you feel like flying.
4:16 am
grannyrose
my muscles are aching, but in a good way.
4:17 am
grannyrose
*giggle* you mean i'm not flying?? *woeful face*
4:17 am
sprite
harsh fact of life: when we humans feel like we are flying, it means we are falling...
4:18 am
grannyrose
and ruby, did you see my greeting to you? it's amazing what comes back to you!!
4:18 am
rubyfoo
no, rosie, I came here first, willlook when I take a break

I have to be off for now, alas. Big *hug* for the two of you. Rose, sleep well and try to do a little less. Ruby, have a grand day and be gentle with yourself.

4:24 am

*smiling at you* i have to go sweetie. i am sooo tired. love you honey.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
The radiation has done nothing, so far, except make me sleep more
4:25 am
rubyfoo
bye, sweetie, "see you" soon
4:26 am
grannyrose
that could be a good sign ruby. of course it tires you out. sleep and rest as much as you need to do. your body will tell you. just listen to it.
5:23 am
sukee
Good morning all.
5:33 am
rubyfoo
sukee, are you still here?
5:33 am
sukee
I am here :)
5:34 am
rubyfoo
How are you? I have my laptop back at last!
5:35 am
sukee
I am doing well, glad to hear about your laptop
5:36 am
sukee
I read you are going through radiation. I went through that almost 19 years ago now.
5:36 am
rubyfoo
It was driving me crazy, a month "in the shop" and I couldn't play in front of the fire or in bed
5:37 am
rubyfoo
So far, it hasn't done anything for the pain
5:37 am
sukee
I would go into serious withdrawal :)
5:37 am
sukee
Hopefully, the relief will start soon.
5:38 am
rubyfoo
do you mind my asking, what kind of cancer was it?
5:38 am
sukee
I had breast cancer.
5:38 am
sukee
They just did a lumpectomy and I went through chemo and radiation.
5:39 am
rubyfoo
me, too, adenocarcinoma, qnd it is bqck after 25 yrs, not tumors in bone
5:40 am
rubyfoo
it was stage 2A but besides radical surgery, they only did strong chemo
5:40 am
rubyfoo
didn't even suggest radiation, which might have prevented th recurrence
5:40 am
sukee
But think of how far they have come in just 20 years in terms of treatments.
5:40 am
sukee
That might be.
5:41 am
rubyfoo
yes, they say that although it is not operable or curable this time, it is treatable
5:41 am
rubyfoo
I'm pretty discouraged, though
5:42 am
sukee
Well, we will definitely hope for the best I am sure it is discouraging, I would not want to deal with cancer a second time.
5:43 am
rubyfoo
I was braver then, now I just feel old
5:43 am
sukee
Finally, I blocked on tile out :)
5:43 am
sukee
Hang in there, we are all rooting for you.
5:44 am
rubyfoo
Thank you, that is very kind
5:45 am
sukee
That is, I blocked one tile out.
5:48 am
rubyfoo
I have 136 words but very few blocked out tioles and no 9
5:48 am
sukee
I just have 105 so far.
5:48 am
rubyfoo
I think I've only found the low-hanging fruit
5:49 am
sukee
Yes, the longest word I have is 1 7 letter word.
5:50 am
rubyfoo
Hah, I have one 8 (she says smugly)
5:51 am
rubyfoo
This is a very hrd grid for me (I never even finish the easier ones)
5:51 am
rubyfoo
goodie, my lunch is arriving
5:51 am
sukee
Have a good one.
5:55 am
rubyfoo
totally weird lunch: mackerel appetizer, mystery meat (rabbit?), aulifower, mystery cheese and chocae cake
5:55 am
sukee
Well, I hope you enjoy it anyway :)
5:56 am
rubyfoo
the dogs and the delivered meals keep me going, otherwise, I'd probably just stay in bed
5:58 am
sukee
It's good to have a reason, any reason. I have the cats and my trips to the gym :)
5:59 am
rubyfoo
are you able to drive?
5:59 am
sukee
Finally half way.
6:00 am
sukee
No, I never learned to drive.

Hi Ray. Are you new to Babble? Welcome.
7:37 am
RoundBarn
scrabbler, are you alone here? Iusually lurk but sometimes say something. Just wanted to say you are one I admire--your good advice to people, thoughtfulness, etd. I have a camp in Vermont so go near you in sukker but am not driving now.
7:37 am
RoundBarn
I also had house rabbits, wrote a story about them once.
7:40 am
RoundBarn
will go back to lurking. Aalso, too hard a grid today. I'kk get to work. Poof!
7:43 am
Scrabbler
Hi RB, I love seeing you here.
7:45 am
RoundBarn
Thanks. I can still see the chat. I like your medical advice to people. and snowshoeing.
7:46 am
RoundBarn
wrote down xomething you said the other day--I think it was you. Kids beig--feeling entitled.
7:48 am
Scrabbler
Hi cousin, TY for the free clue. I am not liking this grid.
7:48 am
earth
no, it's slow going, hello RB
7:48 am
Scrabbler
Cousin Earth and I snowshoed with my 2 sisters last Sunday and we had FUN! It was a tough workout.
7:49 am
earth
I was sore for 2 days. My body did not want to do Tai Chi that Monday
7:49 am
Scrabbler
RB, after 28 years in practice I see the decay of families and parenting, and the sad effects on kids.
7:49 am
Scrabbler
Yes, me too, cousin, and my blisters are healing.
7:51 am
Scrabbler
RB, the most beautiful round barn I first saw was at Shelburn Farm in Burlington, VT.
7:52 am
RoundBarn
I rejoiced in your sister(s) being there, didn't know abt the cousin--hello, earth. yes, scrabbler, my daughetr gave good parenting, her husband didn't--they were divorced, and he committed suicide. My grandson has been being treated for trauma, long trips to a clinic, but he's back in school now and doing better. So I've been very concerned about th kids, and mu daughter coping while working full time.
7:54 am
Scrabbler
So many kids must deal with such trauma in their lives and often with so very little emotional support from their parents who also cannot cope with life.
7:54 am
earth
How very sad RB.
7:55 am
RoundBarn
I also have a camp on a jewel of a lake 15 miles from Burtlington--I'm now too old to be there alone and so have been casting around for friends who might come for a day, or more. We're close to the foot of Camels Hump. I can't climb it any more (getting too old). So if any of the Scrabs clan wants to come to Vermont this summer, let me know. Free vacation! I'm not sure any of mu kids will make it.
7:55 am
Scrabbler
We see kids being raised by grandparents due to parents with drug problems or being in prison or just disappearing.
7:57 am
Scrabbler
We are going to the Adirondacks in July--Earth and youngest sister. Last October all 3 sisters and 2 cousins were in Adirondacks in October and boy, did we have fun.
7:58 am
RoundBarn
My grandson found the body, so his trauma is worse than his sister's. He was 12, now 13. Opted out of life himself, retreated to his room and electronic games. But being with 12 kids 8 hrs a day (near Milwaukee) has helped. He's back in school and so far getting good grades. We are hopeful. I nearly moved up there.
8:00 am
Scrabbler
Oh, no, that is SO terrible, so traumatic.
8:02 am
RoundBarn
Biut that's enugh on that. I'm trying to finish the final volume of Round Barn saga, and it's had too many interruptions. So I'll quit babble now and get back to work--but I do watch youall, and enjoy your actvivities--the words that come up on babble make my mind go all over the world, and I'm usually ready for the dya.--Yes, it was, is, for Wyatt. This day-clinic was for kids with trauma. 12 in the group. I think it helped him to get some perspective, not want to throw away his own life.
8:04 am
earth
Bye RB will be thinking of you and your family
8:04 am

that name is in the grid
4:36 pm

He's not a mderate, he just seems like one. He defunded Planned Parenthood.

4:36 pm

Yes, he did, but compared to the others he is saner
4:37 pm

yes, there is a point to letting the govt know it has done a crappy job BUT this is not going to make it better. There is a limit to dissatisfaction and a more constructive way to better the govt we have now, isn't there?
4:40 pm
MLFAN17

4:41 pm
