hello my dear friend. No it wasn't. One of the worst ever. How was your day?
4:45 am

gentle hugs for my poor sweet girl. xoxox

I swear, if it has to be like this, I will stock up on energy drinks and cocaine and never sleep again

church this morning. guest speaker was from the Asylum Seeker Centre in our town. very interesting
4:46 am
sprite
ah right, you told me he was coming. Glad it was interesting.
4:47 am
grannyrose
btw i passed on your compliments to the vicar. i think she was pretty pleased, as well as gob-smacked
4:47 am
sprite
aw nice :)
4:48 am
grannyrose
honey surely there must be something you haven't yet tried. i feel so guilty telling you how i can sleep after my infusion...
4:48 am
sprite
why on earth should you feel guilty? I am ever so glad to hear it.
4:48 am
grannyrose
*light-bulb moment* sprite, could you talk to your doctor about the possibility of you having the same thing
4:50 am
sprite
I could, of course. But am not ready to embark on a new medical journey, tbh. I'd have to go through the mill again to establish I do have FM, and then to find someone with the right treatment. Right now I am still in the gastric bypass mill.
4:51 am
grannyrose
i understand. if i may mention it again, when may i do so? what sort of time frame do you think?
4:52 am
sprite
aw sweetie, you are the best. Mention it whenever you feel like it! I will keep it in mind, for sure.
4:53 am
sprite
and please please don't ever feel guilty for feeling good or better or sleeping well or anything. It really makes me happy to know you have some relief.
4:53 am
grannyrose
the point is that the ketamine part also helps depression etc. if it would help you with your nights...
4:53 am
sprite
am gonna bring it up next time I see my gp. If only to put it in her head already for later.
4:55 am
grannyrose
good idea. at least it would be on your record for future reference. as for trying to convince a doctor re FM any anaesthetist/pain management doc would understand you immediately.
4:57 am
sprite
*sigh* Days look so much better when you sleep well, don't they! I have to step in for caya, she is doing her finals and her mind is on that, not on her chores. Which is fine. But you know how little things can become mountains you have to climb when you don't sleep, right? :)
4:58 am
grannyrose
absolutely. i usually just sit in a quivering lump.
4:58 am
sprite
yeah exactly, that feeling. I am gonna make myself go do dem chores right after finding my last word here... or I never will get around to it. And I am gonna try for a nap this afternoon.
4:59 am
sprite
lol... final word... to5. Told you I had trouble facing to5 :)

On Friday morning I did physical exams at a small school district where I am the school doc. There are 250 kids in the entire school pre-K-12. I heard many funny comments.
8:01 am
Trifioso
not much option there, mlf! but I do believe in starts
8:01 am
MLFAN17

Scrabbler
A mother hung up on me when I was trying to give her advice a short time ago.
8:31 am
Anniebrook
That is terrible. She should be grateful.
8:32 am
Scrabbler
I don't know whether to call her back later when she calms down. I left her a voice mail because she wouldn't pick up the phone when I called back right away.
8:32 am
Anniebrook
Yes, call her back later.
8:32 am
rururocks
were you advising her to vote for sanders over Clinton Scrabs?
8:33 am
MLFAN17
that is what i would do
8:33 am
Scrabbler
Yes,it was rude and disrespectful. Her 4 mo old is constipated. Turns out he is drinking far too much formula because she is feeding him twice during the night.
8:33 am
Scrabbler
I told her to to a write-in vote for Rand Paul.
8:34 am
MLFAN17
well if you have her vote for Clinton maybe her baby will throw up?
8:34 am
Scrabbler
She screamed at me then hung up, but she was upset because she just wanted her baby to poop.
8:35 am
Scrabbler
I think that all of the presidential candidates cause GI distress.
8:35 am
rururocks
I suspect her issues go beyond poop
8:35 am
MLFAN17
lol scrab. not a fan of any of them either
8:37 am
Scrabbler
She is a tired mom that has 2 older kids and she is a teacher. When I told her that a typical 4 mo old sleeps 8-10 hrs overnight she screamed and hung up.
8:37 am
rururocks
yeah.. but if Meat Loaf was running for president...
8:37 am
Alleyn58
Help with pr words including the 11 - which letter is the third?
8:37 am

Alleyn58
Thx found the bird reference - so have the 7 but still stuck on 9 amm
8:42 am
Scrabbler
She is stressed and exhausted, Ruru. It is so rude when mothers call US for advice then get upset, scream, and hang up. I wonder if she feels as bad as I do right now.
8:42 am
welki
she'll probably end up calling you back scrabs, once she settles down. she's probably sleep deprived and all frazzled
8:42 am
Alleyn58

Which vowel is the third letter?

8:46 am

8:46 am
Kallia

8:46 am

ruru uhhhh
8:47 am

8:47 am
Scrabbler
Hi Kallia
8:47 am
Kallia
well it happened to us in 1066 you know :)
8:48 am
Kallia
you actually trying to be contentious Ru ?
8:48 am
Alleyn58
Husband now searching as well - both clueless
8:49 am
rururocks
trying to help alleyn
8:49 am
Scrabbler
I don't get the clue either.
8:49 am
Kallia
don't you know what happened in 1066 Alleyn?
8:49 am
Scrabbler
..for 9,10,or11.
8:49 am
Kallia
I was teasingRu, honest!
8:50 am
Alleyn58
Husband got it!
8:50 am
rururocks
I'm actually kind of surprised you guys didn't vote for autonomy kallia ..
8:51 am
Kallia
oh I'm not in Scotland so no vote
8:51 am
rururocks
oh.. I thought you were in scotland
8:52 am
Kallia
no I'm a Scot butlive in England
8:52 am
rururocks
I was secretly hoping the taxes would drop on MacCallan :D
8:52 am
Kallia
hahaa more booze for your bucks eh
8:53 am
rururocks
but I do like to be contentious sometimes around here
8:53 am
Kallia
oh really? I hadn't noticed ;D
8:54 am
MollyL
I was stunned that Scotland didn't vote for autonomy. I can't imagine living in a country under the thumb of another country.
8:55 am
Kallia
well I don't think it's quite like that Molly....
8:56 am
rururocks
atalante turned me on to my new favorite scotch though
8:56 am
MollyL
Sorry if I worded that wrong. I live in a country that chose not to live under the "guidance" of England so that is the basis of my comment. I would think Scots would want to govern themselves. I guess not.
8:58 am
Kallia
not enough of them anyway Molly. Scotland and England are so entwined that it would be quite difficult,especially on the financial side.....the predictions of Scotland's earnings have already been proved to be wrong...
8:58 am
rururocks
well, in Scotland's defense Molly, we Americans chose to be under the guidance of George Bush
8:59 am
MollyL
Are you still beating that old drum Ru?
8:59 am
Kallia
you did indeed, and what a lot of you have voted for Trump!!
8:59 am
rururocks
<---not this one
9:03 am
MollyL
I can't vouch for the intelligence quota of the American voting population. We have had two years of the most ineffective President ever and the majority of Republicans seem hell bent on Trump for the next 4.
9:04 am
MollyL
Sorry, two terms
9:04 am
Kallia
well from my prospective he has been ineffective (on some things) because of the Republicans blocking him,but whAT DO iKNOW
9:04 am
rururocks
The Republicans just can't seem to find a reasonable suitable candidate. Most of them are ...well.. nuts
9:05 am
Kallia
OOPS, sorry hat caps by mistake
9:05 am
Kallia
hit not hat!
9:06 am
MollyL
We have had plenty of effective Democratic Presidents who had a Republican based Congress attempt to thwart their efforts.
9:06 am
Kallia
as I said Molly, what would I know :)
9:07 am
rururocks
At least Obama knows how to pronounce nuclear
9:07 am
MollyL
I always find it interesting that people in other countries are so up on American politics. I can honestly say I know nothing about the politics in any country other than my own.
9:09 am
MollyL
*Pictures Ru in 20 years as an elder, still whining about Bush to his great grand nephews
: P
9:10 am
Kallia
well I agree with Ru, Bush, along with Blair, did a great dis-service to both our countries.
9:10 am
rururocks
<--already elder
9:10 am
MLFAN17
i d0nt know why but i always like Blair. which Bush kal?
9:10 am
Kallia
and caused a hell of a mess elsewhere while they were at it!
9:10 am
MLFAN17
elder to what ruru?
9:11 am
MollyL
It will be scary times if Trump gets elected President. But I think we are going to end up with another Clinton in The White House (not necessarily a good thing either)
9:11 am
Kallia
the latest one in particular MLF
9:11 am
MLFAN17
kal..ohhh
9:11 am
MLFAN17
molly i am dreading the thought
9:12 am
Kallia
I think it scares the world Molly
9:12 am
MollyL
I am as big a feminist as the next woman. But I have no reason to vote for Clinton just because she is a woman.
9:12 am
MLFAN17
molly not a reason for me to vote for her either. i can't stand her
9:14 am
rururocks
RuPaul for president then?
9:14 am

You see, apart from leggy blondes, I haven't come across one single American who has admitted to supporting him. Yet he is storming ahead. It's puzzling to watch from afar.
1:19 pm
MollyL
I don't think anyone needs to be concerned about Trump. This is all a set up to get Clinton in The White House. Just like McCain was a set up to get Obama in The White House.

Unfortunately, America is full of conservative Republicans who are sick of 8 years of a liberal Democrat.

You think, Molly? Thats interesting.

He's storming ahead in his own party only because he had no strong opposition.

McCain would probably have been fine. But he hosed himself when he picked Palin for his running mate.
1:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is exactly what is occurring. and ditto that, blah.
1:21 pm
MollyL
Yes, and picking Palin for a running mate assured an Obama election. That was just too weird to not be some kind of strange plan.
1:21 pm
72 Temple Owl
a purely political move that backfired miserably.
1:21 pm

8 years of a liberal democrat who was not allowed to do a damn thing.

1:23 pm
72 Temple Owl
did anyone watch the LBJ movie on hbo? now there was a man who could get things done.
1:23 pm

Maybe "not allowed" is not the right term. But our government is specifically set up with checks and balances, and no branch has complete power.

1:34 pm

I sometimes think that people don't understand the way American government works. Congress (who are elected representatives, elected by the people) and override a Presidential decision. So "poor little Barry" has merely been shot down by those put in office to keep him in check. Charming? Sure. Does that make a good President? Not at all.
1:34 pm

1:37 pm
therealblah
Like I said...checks and balances. Civics 101.
1:37 pm
MollyL
Exactly Blah. As you said, checks and balances. So I don't know why people keep whining about how Barry was "not allowed to do anything". Unless it is just sheep following what the media says.
1:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
which is why a trump presidency, while hard to take, would be tempered by checks and balances. as would a clinton presidency. et al
1:38 pm
therealblah
I think we're in violent agreement molly! as I said before, "not allowed" is probably not the right term.

1:55 pm
MollyL
I don't think anyone nominated could have done a better job. The problem with American politics is that decent candidates don't get nominated.
1:56 pm
MollyL
I don't believe that anyone who says they are going to move if Trump gets elected will actually do it. So if you do, check in and let me know I was wrong.
1:56 pm
bichon
What's decent in our eyes, isn't likeable to all those bozos who want to make America great again
1:57 pm

I have a religious and cultural attachment to Israel. Only problem, Mr. Bich won't go with me.
1:58 pm

I can't blame Mr. Bich. You may not like American politics but moving to a war torn country is a tough alternative.
1:59 pm
bichon
It always looks war torn from here. But I'm not sure if I want to move there with the religious far right running the country
2:00 pm

The religious far right runs Israel too.
2:00 pm

Just a different religion.

Point taken Molly. But an awful lot of blood has been shed to get us where we are now. I, for one, am extremely proud of those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Irish freedom. But I don't want to see any more blood spilled.
2:35 pm
MollyL
I don't think any of us realized what a peace time country we live in until September 11th happened.
2:36 pm
MollyL
Oh, I don't want to see any more blood shed either Soodle. I just don't understand why England thinks they should own a part of a country that is not theirs.
2:38 pm
Soodle
Molly - to get an answer to that, you must travel back 500 + years.
2:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
at least you don't have susan rice. we can ship her over to you....
2:39 pm
MollyL
Well yes and no. 500 years is when it was taken. Why they are still there now is present day.
2:40 pm
MollyL
And I'm not trying to fuss with you Soodle. I think you and I are in agreement that all of Ireland should belong to the Irish people.
2:43 pm

for sure Molly. Absolutely. But, with respect, its just not as simple as 'Brits Out'. Theres other considerations. None of which are appropriate to this forum. I will happily debate the issue with you by email.

Homphone...sounds same but different in meaning. Harry's first clue was homophone of President
3:49 pm

I didn't know Obama is gay
3:50 pm
MollyL
Sorry, didn't mean to get in the way of Bichon's clue requests.
3:51 pm
HarryHood
so what's a homonym?
3:51 pm
rururocks
*gets paper towels*
3:51 pm
HarryHood
Or did I just make up that word?
3:51 pm
MollyL
<---Got the joke. Is quite sure no one else did.
3:51 pm
HarryHood
I got the joke. I laughed on the inside.
3:51 pm
bichon
read and read are homonyms
3:52 pm
HarryHood
oh! got it - ty bichon
3:53 pm
rururocks
one of my cousins was a homonymph.. but that's something entirely different
3:53 pm
MollyL
Sorry Harry, homophones and homonyms are the same thing.
3:53 pm
HarryHood
so homophone and homonym are synonyms?
3:53 pm
hego
very different
3:56 pm
MollyL
Actually they are not. Homonym...same spelling, different meaning. Suit yourself/he wore a suit. Homophone...words that sound alike...affect/effect. Then there are homographs...desert/abandon...desert/a\nrea of land.
3:56 pm

This is why I gave up on grammar back in grammar school. Note my clever use of homographs. Which I've never even heard of before. (sorry - of which I've never even heard before)

We used to diagram sentences in 9th grade, ugh
3:59 pm

Diagramming sentences is one of the WORST ways to teach language.

4:25 pm
cybernan
mmm - wondering why the norman invasion specifically
4:25 pm
HarryHood
Maybe Norman was Mr. Duffy's first name
4:26 pm
cybernan
thought that was Patrick Duffy -- if you are talking about our disgraced senator
4:26 pm
cybernan
don't know any other duffy
4:26 pm
HarryHood
wasn't patrcik duffy on Dallas?
4:27 pm

4:30 pm
cybernan
was trying to find another word for invasion
4:33 pm
HarryHood
80 to go. I will come back to list later. dinner time
4:48 pm
MollyL
What the Norman's did into England was not referred to as an invasion. It is called The Norman Conquest. I used invasion as a clue because it means the same thing.
