1:26 am

grannyrose

ahh, perth. haven't been there since 1974/75. i think it may have grown somewhat, yes?

1:26 am

stidmama

1:27 am

sprite

1:28 am

stidmama

1:28 am

grannyrose

1:30 am

sprite

Marc, a pain killer

1:30 am

grannyrose

add a vowel to the co6, pain killer

1:30 am

stidmama

it's a drug related to heroin marc

1:31 am

grannyrose

and an oh dear from me... three of us all know about co6...loll

1:31 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

1:32 am

sprite

lol we do. I am still happy as a clam that I don't have to use it anymore. Even if it means I am in more pain.

1:32 am

grannyrose

stiddy ?? i thought it was related to morphine. at least that is what it converts to when we take it.

1:33 am

stidmama

probably it is, but I don't know anything about drugs except most of them make me sicker than the pain they are supposed to treat

1:33 am

grannyrose

i hear you stiddy... so agree.

1:35 am

sprite

WTG SPRITE!!!

5:05 am

hurshy

ugh, small one again

5:06 am

rubyfoo

Ack, another small one, inappropriate for the weekend!

5:07 am

rubyfoo

Hello hurshy

5:10 am

hurshy

hello ruby

5:11 am

hurshy

it also seems to be harder than yesterday's small one

5:11 am

rubyfoo

Are we being punished?

5:12 am

hurshy

idk

5:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

I missed all the drama in the chog yesterday but it was accompanied by a wild rainsttorm here. The most lightning I've ever seen but very little thunder and it lastted for hours.

5:13 am

rubyfoo

hello scrabs

5:13 am

Scrabbler

Happy Birthday, hurshy. You were born on the same date as a friend of mine.

5:13 am

Scrabbler

Oh, what drama now?

5:13 am

rubyfoo

I spent most of the time huddled on the floor with my scared pups

5:14 am

rubyfoo

Happy Birthday, Hurshy, you will always be younger!

5:14 am

hurshy

thanks

5:14 am

rubyfoo

There was evidently a big political argumentt but I only caught the barest fringes.

5:15 am

rubyfoo

Some of the babblers went "la la la..." but it would be simpler to turn off the chat if somebody find controversy annoying

5:16 am

rubyfoo

finds*

5:16 am

rubyfoo

Personally, I think it's fun to share differing points of view but >I wasn't involved in this one

5:17 am

Scrabbler

No one is going to change their mind.

5:17 am

rubyfoo

but it's fun to listen and discuss

5:18 am

rubyfoo

no name-calling, of course, but we're all adults here (at least I hope soÂ°) and you can't expect homogeniety (no idea of the spelling!)

5:19 am

Scrabbler

It never works in this chat.

5:19 am

rubyfoo

I have friends across both aisles and the whole religious Spectrum and I prefer that

5:20 am

Scrabbler

Talking face to face works better.

5:20 am

rubyfoo

I don't know why as I'm sur the average IQ is much higher than "average"

5:20 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

5:21 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, we're so spreead out

5:21 am

Scrabbler

Cooee, Granny!

5:21 am

rubyfoo

yay, rosie is here (but up VERY late)

5:22 am

grannyrose

ooh, hurshy's birthday. congrats hurshy, may you enjoy many more. xoxox

5:22 am

grannyrose

lolll yay scrabs.

5:22 am

grannyrose

my dearest ruby. {{hujgs}} sweetheart

5:22 am

hurshy

thanks

5:26 am

grannyrose

ruby. we arrived home last thursday. have driven to QLD. took us 3 days. caught up with lizlin and her hubby who were very generous with their time, car and knowledge. we have had an amazing holiday.

5:26 am

Scrabbler

Wonderful, granny.

5:26 am

rubyfoo

Evidently there was name-calling

5:27 am

Scrabbler

Too bad. People are entitled to their opinions.

5:27 am

rubyfoo

That is lovely, rosie, sounds like a perfect Holiday. Does riding in the car tire you out?

5:28 am

grannyrose

very much so ruby. suffice to say, the night we arrived home i slept 8 hours without moving.

5:28 am

rubyfoo

I enjoy hearing other people's views.

5:29 am

hurshy

i have co7, anyone have the other 7?

5:29 am

grannyrose

un7. mythical creature

5:29 am

rubyfoo

I expect their views to be divergent from mine, but that's often the appeal.

5:29 am

hurshy

oh nice! thanks

5:30 am

rubyfoo

there's one in my garden -- I wish!

5:30 am

grannyrose

xoxox hurshy

5:33 am

Atalante

other people's views are good until they forget everyone is entitled to their own view too

5:34 am

mattygroves

James Thurber wrote about a unicorn in the garden - http://english.glendale.cc.ca.us/unico\nrn1.html

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Hi matty and atalante!

5:35 am

rubyfoo

and I am very happy to see Atalante!! Anybody who disagres can just step outside....

5:35 am

grannyrose

atalante, too true. we must remember everyone is entitled to their own viewpoint, even when it does not agree with theirs.

5:35 am

mattygroves

Good morning all

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Ilike to ask kids in my office

5:35 am

rubyfoo

Hello smart Matty; you got my reference

5:35 am

Atalante

happy birthday smurshy!

5:36 am

rubyfoo

How are you, Ata?

5:36 am

mattygroves

Indeed - happy birthday!

5:36 am

grannyrose

i always say... i may not agree with what you say/think, but i will fight for your right to say/think whatever you do.

5:36 am

Atalante

yes exactly :)

5:36 am

grannyrose

and good morning matty

5:37 am

rubyfoo

And it's certainly possible to have friends with whom you disagree. It makes for lively dinner parties!

5:37 am

Atalante

its all fine till someone wants to vote for trump :P *runs*

5:37 am

mattygroves

Babble chog is unusual compared to most social media. Often (and there are no doubt exceptions), people have friends or contacts on Facebook and twitter of people who broadly share their worldview. Mine is, for example, left of centre - and that is true of many of my friends - therefore I tend to see stories and articles that largely agree with my worldview.

5:38 am

grannyrose

lolll ruby. my darling departed friend, robyn, taught me that.

5:38 am

Scrabbler

I like to ask kids in my office about their favorite animal at the zoo and one girl said the un7.I told her it was my favorite too.

5:38 am

mattygroves

However, on here, we are a diverse group (probably slightly weighted to women of a certain age - I include myself in that) - we don't filter by those who largely agree with us. We can easily forget that there are intelligent people with entirely different views, and so think 'how can they possibly think that?! They must be thick or ignorant or misguided'. It is confirmation bias.

5:39 am

rubyfoo

Exactly, Ata, but, in the end, that, too, can be amusing

5:39 am

grannyrose

i had to teach my hubby that it was okay to not agree. it did not mean i loved him any less.

5:39 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm much further left than most of my friends

5:40 am

rubyfoo

but it's not a problem

5:40 am

mattygroves

I think many of us, Ruby, who have emigrated, tend to be further left than people who have stayed in their country of origin. A huge generalisation of course, but an observation.

5:40 am

mattygroves

So can anyone tell me anything about the CO7?

5:41 am

Atalante

good for bad headaches

5:41 am

Alleyn58

Morning all - a hint or the co7 would be appreciated x

5:41 am

Atalante

or back pain or any other pain

5:41 am

rubyfoo

You're probably right (LOL) but, on the other hand, it's harder to be opinionated about an adopted country

5:41 am

grannyrose

co7, add a vowel to the co6, pain killer

5:41 am

mattygroves

That's the one, once I got the spelling right. Thanks

5:42 am

grannyrose

mind you, co7 is how we spell it here.

5:42 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know there were two spellings

5:43 am

grannyrose

my body hates co7. it metabolises too quickly to morphine and i end up as high as a kite....loll

5:43 am

mattygroves

My spelling is entertaining at times

5:43 am

Alleyn58

Thx so much

5:43 am

mattygroves

It can also make one terribly constipated!

5:43 am

rubyfoo

"I before e...." except when you have a backache

5:43 am

Scrabbler

My body does not like any narcotics--I get so dopey and dizzy.

5:43 am

grannyrose

that too matty.

5:44 am

mattygroves

The weird foreigner seized neither leisure nor science at their heights.

5:44 am

grannyrose

scrabs, prolly because you are like me.

5:45 am

rubyfoo

Imagine, Matty, that I take 40 mg of morphine on an average day!

5:45 am

Atalante

my sister gets take a whole bottle of liquid morphine each day. but it is a small bottle

5:46 am

grannyrose

when i had the denervation on my right knee, anaesthetist gave me ketamine and propofol. i was so out of it. the nurse kept saying..rose open your eyes...and i was thi8nking...nope not gonna do that.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I love narcotics!! I couldn't deal with my cancer oterwise. I guess I am Lucky because oxy works and there are days when I can take less and have few side effects except what Matty said

5:47 am

Atalante

whats a denervation?

5:47 am

rubyfoo

I take enough to Knock out a big man, but it doesn't even make me sleepy; I'm just afraid to drive

5:47 am

grannyrose

the doc sends anh electric shock down a needle embedded in the nerve and kills it.

5:48 am

grannyrose

the nerve that is...

5:48 am

Scrabbler

I cannot understand why some people get addicted to opiates but that is because my brain reacts so differently to them.

5:49 am

Atalante

wow. I need that one of my knees, it's been hypersensitive to everything since an operation as a kid

5:49 am

grannyrose

ata, when the doc zapped the most troublesome part of the nerve, unconscious as i was i still tried to crawl off the operating table. it took three of them to keep me on the table.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine that addiction because opiates certainly aren't fun

5:50 am

Atalante

ouch ouch ouch

5:50 am

rubyfoo

double ouch ((rosie))

5:50 am

grannyrose

okay, ata, you need to find an an aenesthetist who is now specialising in pain management.

5:51 am

Atalante

I can see how it happens, one of my friends is an ex coastie and the VA gave him insane amounts of vicodin to manage his pain and then just didn't stop giving them to him ...

5:51 am

Atalante

I will look, rose! I had no idea that could be done

5:51 am

grannyrose

that is soooo wrong, ata.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

can he function normally?

5:52 am

Atalante

he can now he's gone to rehab! but he literally can't take pain killers as it's too tempting to take more

5:52 am

mattygroves

Typically, people who take opiates just for pain relief are less likely to become addicted - as long as it's used for genuine pain

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I take as much as I need to manage the pain, but the side effects keep e from exceeding the dose

5:54 am

grannyrose

matty...my theory is that if you have strong enough pain, your body utilises all the pain killer... and there is no addiction.

5:54 am

rubyfoo

My son thinks I'm an addict, but I explined to hi what Matty said. He refused to believe me, thought I should be stoic

5:55 am

grannyrose

oh for goodnhess sake, ruby. tell him to wake up and smell the roses.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

Happily, the oncologists here agree with me

5:56 am

Atalante

there's a difference between physically addicted to something, and choosing to be psychologically / phsyically addicted to something If you take a certain medication for years, of course your body will expect that chemical input

5:57 am

grannyrose

nearly my meds time... please believe me...i love you all... but the meds leave me off the planet.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

>I don't see many choices as I need to function well to run the house, can't just curl up in a balland sleep (although the temptation is surely there)

5:58 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves Rosie

5:58 am

Atalante

what the heck does the un5 mean??!

5:59 am

grannyrose

xoxox and hugs sweet ruby

5:59 am

grannyrose

oh dear ata... my thought that is only half a pair of knickers...loll

6:00 am

Atalante

lol I thought the same!

6:00 am

grannyrose

roflol

6:02 am

rubyfoo

which half? I don't have it

6:03 am

Atalante

lmao I'm not sure!

6:04 am

Atalante

its not quite spelled right one bit of the knickers word. but v near

6:04 am

rubyfoo

This chog is such a treat, even with a paltry grid

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Back. I had to entertain the toddler. Being a mother is not easy.

6:06 am

Atalante

its a nice grid, it has a word I use at work most days - fu6 (first one)

6:06 am

rubyfoo

Really?? My son is 53 and it's harder now than when he was 2!

6:07 am

rubyfoo

encur

6:07 am

rubyfoo

oops, sorry

6:09 am

grannyrose

for heavens sake... himself is arguing with me as to whether we had coleslaw with our dinner. i know we did, at least i did. may be he didn't serve it onto his plate.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, do you know that I became the guardian for my young grandnephews on July 6th?

6:11 am

rubyfoo

Yes, you have made my life list of heroes/heroines!!

6:12 am

grannyrose

i should think i could remember what i just ate

6:12 am

rubyfoo

"Don, you be a good boy!" said sternly

6:13 am

grannyrose

lol... ruby. he needs his ears smacked together. (think about it)

6:14 am

grannyrose

scrabs, you have my absolute admiration.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

<-- still looking for Ata's fu.....

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Ryder awoke at 5:30 and he has been a ball of energy since then.

6:15 am

grannyrose

6:21 am

lil*monkey

Scrabbler

Trif, my friends will return from Ireland on Tuesday.

6:56 am

Trifioso

thank you

6:57 am

Trifioso

I hope they had as good a trip as we did. in retrospect, our agenda was rather too heavy on activities and not enough down time, but we saw a lot, and it was a great introduction to the two travelers with us who had never been there.

6:57 am

sukee

I can't get that 6/36 though

6:57 am

Trifioso

next time -- and there will be a next time -- I am going to go at a much less breakneck pace

6:57 am

Scrabbler

Toddler Ryder is making Babble time challenging. I have to feed him, change poopy diapers, entertain him, find the lost water cup, etc. We are watching Shaun the Sheep now, which I appreciate more than him.

lil*monkey

I was folding laundry

lil*monkey

I did 4 loads, and one of the loads was all my Skechers.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Any special advice for recovery from an ankle sprain? CFL sprain/strain while hiking a mountain on July 13th. And entire ankle/foot has minor strains.

8:52 am

lil*monkey

I would wear an elastic support brace when you're up on the ankle. Or an Arizona brace (the heavy cloth type that laces up) if you feel you need MORE support than the elastic one.

8:52 am

mkg

anyone have the 7s? ty

8:53 am

lil*monkey

REST it as much as possible. PROP up whenever you are not on your feet. ICE it as often as possible. If you have access to a JOBST pump, use it at night when you're in bed.

8:54 am

lil*monkey

Wear 3/4 top or hi-top sneakers if possible.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I am using a Donjoy brace which is great. I iced frequently for the first week.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

un7 = horse with horn.

8:55 am

Scrabbler

fu7 = fu + first 3 letters of metal money + consonant

8:55 am

lil*monkey

Is it elastic Donjoy brace? with the straps you pull and Velcro to add support?

8:55 am

mkg

ty. got both of those.

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, laced straps, then bilateral straps, then top velcro straps. It is very supportive.

8:56 am

lil*monkey

I would continue to ice at the end of every day.

8:56 am

mkg

the fu was a six...any ideas?

8:56 am

lil*monkey

And try to walk normally, even if you have to slow your pace WAY DOWN. Don't get into a bad limping habit.

8:57 am

lil*monkey

That brace is excellent scrabs

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Sorry, co7 = opiate.

8:59 am

Sorry for your sprain scrabs! It's a pesky injury. Don't rush the recovery. It takes TIME.

9:05 am

car.eeyore

mkg...I have fu 6/36...is that what you are looking for?

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car and mkg

9:06 am

car.eeyore

Actually, there are 2 of those....

9:07 am

car.eeyore

So, exciting night last night. The foster cat we had taken in, gave birth to four kittens.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Monkey, it hurt SO bad. I nearly fainted and puked. The entire foot and ankle swelled and turned purple. I had to hike down the mountain 3 miles.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Wow, car!

9:07 am

car.eeyore

Poor you.

9:08 am

Scrabbler

How is Mama Kitty doing with her babies?

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Duh, the co7 has the e! I didn't even know that.

9:09 am

rururocks

Are you a nurse or doctor lil monkey?

9:09 am

car.eeyore

She's awesome. We had taken her in with her other litter right after my surgery. We got those kittens adopted out and still had her here. The poor thing got knocked up while she was still at the previous home and nursing that litter.

9:10 am

rururocks

The Octakitty

9:10 am

car.eeyore

Pretty much.

9:10 am

car.eeyore

She was on the schedule at the Spay Wagon for August 22nd...guess that will now have to wait!

9:11 am

car.eeyore

Its been so long since I had a litter I didn't have to work with...dropper/bottle feeding, cleaning, etc. It is so sweet to watch the natural process the way it should be.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Lil*monkey is a PT.

9:12 am

car.eeyore

anyway, we didn't know she was pregnant and it was quite a shock at 1:00 in the morning. The kids were up and though she had caught 2 mice in a bloody battle. LOL

9:12 am

rururocks

Oh. I thought that was great advice

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, I am being impatient with the healing process,which is expected since I am an active person. Limping around in pain is not easy.

9:13 am

car.eeyore

You're an active person and a doctor....the worst patients ever!!!!! :p

9:17 am

lil*monkey

Aw scrabs that sounds awful! I'm sure that extra 3 miles you had to hike on that ankle wasn't good :(

9:17 am

lil*monkey

I'm actually a licensed phys therapist assistant

9:18 am

lil*monkey

I don't do the initial evaluation of patients, that's for the DPTs (doctorate of physical therapy) to handle. But I do all the treatments and manage their care.

9:19 am

Scrabbler

It was so painful coming down that mtn, wondering if my ankle was fractured. I went to an urgent care ctr and the X-rays were negative.

9:19 am

lil*monkey

I'm sure you've heard scrabs, that sprains are much more painful than Fx or breaks.

9:20 am

lil*monkey

sprains involve injury or avulsion to the ligaments

9:21 am

welki

'morning, babblers

9:21 am

mkg

scrabbler, the co was also a six........but ty for clue.

9:21 am

Scrabbler

I sprained that same ankle in 1983 but I don't recall it being this bad.

9:22 am

mkg

i got the 7. ty. extra vowel at end.

9:22 am

lil*monkey

Scrabs, all the more reason to take your time with recovery. Your ankle is now more susceptible to repeated injury :( I'm sorry to say, but pls take it seriously.

9:22 am

welki

well heck, if i'd known i'd have asked for your advice a long time ago! monkey, i've been going to PT for months for a shoulder injury - off for a cortisone injection on tuesday.

9:23 am

lil*monkey

Aw I'm sorry welki... I'm here for advice whenever you need me.

9:23 am

welki

heh - i'd have asked how to get some sleep!

9:24 am

lil*monkey

Oh I usually recommend sleeping in a recliner for shoulder injuries. Then you don't accidentally roll onto the bad side.

9:26 am

mkg

clue for the A bottom row please.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I must go. Jax wants to see spaceships on the computer.

9:26 am

lil*monkey

OK scrabs, good luck! Stay in touch

9:26 am

welki

i've had ankle sprains and breaks, scrabbs - monkey's right, patience is important, so you don't reinjure

9:26 am

9:40 am

welki

monkey, do your PTs do dry needling in the states? my daughter, a nurse in vermont, had never heard of it

9:40 am

lil*monkey

Yes, they do. You have to complete a lengthy educational course first.

9:40 am

lil*monkey

It's called "dry needling" but is very similar to acupuncture.

9:41 am

rururocks

dry needling is what I do here every day

9:42 am

aebmusica

isn't that what "Cross-stitch is?

9:42 am

welki

yes, ru - i was waiting for that :)

well, acupuncture is relatively painless. not so for dry needling - it can be VERY painful

9:43 am

lil*monkey

dry needling is also called trigger-point needling. Yes it's painful. The object is to insert needle into the trigger point. Ouch!

9:43 am

rururocks

not for me.. I don't like needles

9:43 am

aebmusica

sometimes when my family needled me it was painful

9:44 am

welki

i don't either, but i was hoping it would give my shoulder some relief - and sometimes it did, sometimes not

9:45 am

lil*monkey

welki, have you tried electrical stimulation? Certain types are very soothing. The program called "interferential" is excellent for calming pain.

9:46 am

welki

hey ru - the apoquel seems to have kicked in. thank you so much for the advice. and guess what - i heard a commercial for it on the radio the other day - you've started a movement up north!

9:46 am

welki

yes, monkey - i think one of the tens machines has my name on it :)

9:46 am

ch1212

Good morning :). Catching up on chat, I will definitely keep 'dry needling' off my list of potential shoulder remedies!

It does have sometimes adverse side effects. I hope it goes ok for you.> the Best is the CADI shot. I hope to god you get it available up there somehow

9:49 am

welki

dry needling is like banging your head against a wall - feels so good when you stop. but it does give relief

9:50 am

rururocks

i have reactions to needles. don't like them near me at all

9:50 am

rururocks

I'd be a terrible heroin addict

9:51 am

ch1212

Cortisone shots can be extremely painful too.

9:53 am

ch1212

Wishing you the best, welki.

9:53 am

welki

oh the one i'm getting on tuesday is supposed to be a doozy - but i've had them before (in other places), so i sort of know what to expect. at this point, i'll try just about anything to get rid of this pain - and i really hope it works, or i'm looking at surgery :(

9:53 am

Uneaixoise

I'm ok with needles but any kind of "controlled" substance makes me throw up -- codeine, prednisone, etc. -- would be a total failure as an addict! LOL

9:54 am

welki

the injection is x-ray guided, so has to be done by a radiologist

9:54 am

welki

(thanks, ch)

9:55 am

rururocks

wow une.. pred too?

9:57 am

Uneaixoise

ummm now that I think about it, it was oxy that made me throw up -- they gave me prednisone when I threw out my back trying to pick up a tree that had fallen in my backyard -- asked if ok to go to work -- I did but my coworkers sent me home 'cause I couldn't stop laughing uncontrollably! :-)

9:58 am

rururocks

oxy can make lots of people ill. I have never tried it.. I have had Vicodin for headaches though

9:58 am

rururocks

lifting a tree? you trying to be Une Bunyan?

9:58 am

Uneaixoise

vicodin makes me nauseated too

9:58 am

ch1212

My goodness, une -- I didn't realize that could be a side effect of prednisone! Sounds more fun than the usual side effects like I had --- deeper depression, weight gain, puffiness ...

9:59 am

rururocks

depression from Pred?

9:59 am

rururocks

usually it hypes people up doesn't it?

9:59 am

Uneaixoise

ch1212 I gave the remaining pills to the guy replacing the railing on my porch LOL

10:00 am

Uneaixoise

i think so, ru

10:01 am

Uneaixoise

i remember the cortisone they gave my dad (bone cancer) made his face look like a balloon but it REALLY lifted his spirits -- he called it his happy med!

10:03 am

Uneaixoise

ok .. . . need to get going -- later, all! :-)

10:03 am

ch1212

I'm sure the guy appreciated it, Une. Yes, Ruru, changes in moods and emotions (particularly depression) are common on prednisone. In my case, where I normally manage depression just fine, it took a toll. It felt like a thick, black undertow. Ick. I was grateful to be done with it.

10:04 am

ruru, i'm not sure Paris Hilton is wrong. ISIS particularly hates promiscuity and stuff. however, i think that if they didn't think of it, she could easily put the idea into their heads by saying that to the media!

11:47 am

lilliann

How are jaxx?

12:00 pm

MollyL

Self-oriented people like Paris Hilton think EVERYTHING is about them.

12:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It isn't? Wen who is it all about?

12:39 pm

Then whom

12:42 pm

HarryHood

perhaps that's a good strategy for combating terror - redirect efforts of terrorist groups to target unwanted social maladies like khardashians, hiltons, etc.

12:42 pm

HarryHood

we would just have to make sure to keep them far away from population centers.

12:48 pm

HarryHood

clue for the lone C anybody?

12:58 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, Harry. Lone C is Abel's brother

12:58 pm

MollyL

Ah Harry, a breath of fresh air.

1:07 pm

HarryHood

ty for the C. nbt, nbs, and 23 words to go!

1:07 pm

HarryHood

hi molly

1:07 pm

rururocks

maybe ISIS doesn't know the difference between Paris HIlton or Paris France

1:08 pm

HarryHood

that could very well be - somebody told the terrorist to target the Paris Hilton, and instead he targeted Paris Hilton

1:08 pm

HarryHood

the guy that graduates last in his Jihad class is still called a terrorist

1:10 pm

rururocks

lol

1:11 pm

HarryHood

I sense an Adam Sandler movie - a really dumb lovable terrorist and his offbeat hijinx.

yeah.. the title is funny too.. "Does this suit make me look Fatwa?"

1:13 pm

I have to run - we're leaving on a 3.5 week vacation on Tuesday, and my wife is in packing mode. bbl to list, hopefully.

Not sure Harp but fuck is accepted in these grids.

1:51 pm

I know but there's no K today.....

Does the word fuck make you nervous?

1:51 pm

MollyL

Or were you nervous about some other fu word?

1:51 pm

harpjane

I wouldn't play it in Words With Friends against my priest....

1:52 pm

hego

Some of us were brought up not to use such language.

1:53 pm

MollyL

Indeed, some people were. And yet it is an acceptable word here. As are other words that "some of us" don't use.

1:53 pm

hego

I mean, it's not even shocking anymore. Just rude and common.

1:53 pm

hego

Not usually in the chat.

1:55 pm

MollyL

And some of us were brought up not to use such language and yet we use it in emails.

2:05 pm

rururocks

I use it all the time.. I swear like a sailor

2:06 pm

rururocks

(without a boat)

2:08 pm

rururocks

just not here though

2:13 pm

MollyL

I am also a trash mouth. Not that anyone here would be surprised by that.
: P

2:15 pm

rururocks

well.. I'm shocked I tell you.. just shocked

2:16 pm

MollyL

Oops, we should stop talking about dirty words. People come here to relax and have fun and engage in light, airy, puppy/kitty kind of chat.

2:23 pm

rururocks

I have over time seen some people go "off" here with swearing.. but I try not to here

2:25 pm

MollyL

I have too, Ru. I've seen people use that F word when they go off as well. Hey look, our little fake poster is back.

2:25 pm

rururocks

there are some words that I would never use here but some of the Canadians feel free to throw them around

2:26 pm

Soodle

Another fake poster?

2:27 pm

rururocks

what?

2:27 pm

Soodle

Please name and shame, Molly.

2:27 pm

rururocks

2:27 pm

MollyL

No, let's all stay serene.

2:27 pm

rururocks

2:30 pm

MollyL

Naming and shaming goes on at the Babble Facebook page, doesn't it?

2:31 pm

rururocks

not really

2:31 pm

rururocks

maybe privately on messenger. I don't really know

2:31 pm

MollyL

Oh pardon me, I had heard differently.

2:32 pm

MollyL

Well, let's get back to light and airy chat. How is the weather? How are your pets?

My Pets Are Asleep At My Feet...sounds like a Carpenter's song. *Sigh*

2:34 pm

rururocks

ah well. I can't avoid housework any longer.. have a nice sunday Molly

2:34 pm

Soodle

Also... if people want to come on here and talk about light airy puppy/kitty stuff....... why can't they? Who declared Babble an intense forum? Sorry if the kitty/puppy stuff offends/bores you Molly, but you know what? Some people actually like that kind of stuff. I, for one, am sick and tired of your sanctimonious bullshit. I have seen you bully other Babblers, and I don't like it.
There. I've said it.

2:35 pm

MollyL

Thanks Ru, I'm having a great Sunday. Lots of housework and cooking here as well. Enjoy the rest of your day.

2:37 pm

I will second, third and fourth that, Soodle. Anyone for a fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth?

Glad you got that out Soodle. Hope all that bitter s

Ditto, Molly. Quit your bullying everyone.

Not everyone is a lapdog like Ruru. It's time to leave the chat.

2:45 pm

Atalante

2:45 pm

rururocks

corn dog I will go for :D

2:45 pm

Soodle

I apologise to all who, like me, log on to Babble for a bit of R and R, and who really don't need confrontation and unpleasantness. But there comes a point where saying nothing actually goes against my grain. When I see blatant bullying and aggression, I really need to say something.

2:45 pm

jesdraggon

cue the elvis music

2:45 pm

rururocks

where were you with the bullying yesterday soodle?

2:46 pm

rururocks

seemed like a lot of people were picking on Molly.

2:46 pm

MollyL

Soodle, you and I were once friendly. So I will choose not to go nasty and back stabbing with you, as you have with me. I will stay out of chat when I see you here so you don't have to put with me any longer.

2:46 pm

rururocks

see it's okay for "some" players to call people derogatory names and all is ok

2:47 pm

rururocks

but when some people state their opinions they are jumped on.. really if a discussion bothers you.. turn it off for a while and it will pass back to other subjects

2:47 pm

Soodle

Yesterday I was at a particularly low ebb, Ruru. I didn't have the emotional deposits to waste.

2:47 pm

penquis

here here! i was just thinking the same thing, ru...

2:48 pm

penquis

i ignore conversations i don't want to participate in and join in ones i do....

2:48 pm

rururocks

All I'm saying is turn off the chat if you don't like the discussion

2:48 pm

MollyL

Thank you Pen. That is what grown ups do.

2:49 pm

rururocks

What I believe Molly was saying yesterday is everyone gets up in arms around here about religion and Politics.. but it doesn't have to be that way. It can be a discussion without name calling. At least that's what adults do

2:49 pm

penquis

yw....sometimes i ignore you, too, Molly... ;o)

2:49 pm

jesdraggon

Not sure what was up yesterday, but in looking back through the recent chat, I didn't see anything bullying prior to Soodle and serenitynow demanding the bullying stop...

2:50 pm

MollyL

That is okay Pen. You can ignore me all you want.
: D

2:52 pm

jesdraggon

so i'm going to recommend relaxing like you say you cam here to do, and marvel at how a grid this small managed to still fit 14 f words, because that's ridiculous.

2:52 pm

Atalante

I agree jes

2:52 pm

Soodle

I play Babble to relax. I do not belong to the Molly camp or the Ruru camp or any camp. When I see blatant bullying going on, it makes me uncomfortable. A trawl through the babble archives will throw up many many examples of the bullying which I am speaking about.

2:52 pm

penquis

i usually ignore political and religious discussions and often ignore pet discussions (i have no pets)....i am guilty of talking about the weather... ;o)

2:53 pm

So... not by way of apology, but just as a small indication of how today went for me... Up at 7.00 am. Washing into the machine. One and a half hour drive to Dublin to see Mom. One hour there. Picked up laundry to be seen to. One hours drive to see my Dad, who is worried and concerned about my Mom. An hour with him. Picked up his laundry. An unhappy two hours with my Dad. Moaning and groaning that he has been abandoned and nobody visits him anymore. (I was there with him on Thursday). Two more hours crossing the city to go back to my Mom. Meds disagreeing wiht her, resulting in dire vomiting and nausea. Very intense times indeed

How are you doing Nef?

8:41 pm

origami

Hey, just saw you were in the grid :-)

8:43 pm

Nef

Doing fine (except in the grid). The weather was nice today, just a bit humid; so I got a little bit done outside (not much, but some stuff). I have 9 tomato plants & almost got them fenced in enough to keep the squirrels out (I hope)

8:43 pm

Nef

Hey! I didn't see that before! How about that?

8:44 pm

origami

I didn't plant much this year. Usually I have a HUGE vegetable garden. Just tomatoes this year :-)

8:47 pm

origami

I hope to get my groove back and plant a large winter garden.

8:48 pm

Nef

We planted everything else except tomatoes in raised planters like big old garden box planters. DH kept bending down too far & wrecking his back (he's had 2 neck spine surgeries & 2 lumbar spine surgeries & he really can't bend with all that rods & screws in there; but he still kept trying!)

8:49 pm

Nef

What made you cut back this year?

8:50 pm

origami

I have all raised beds also (at least 3 feet high). My soil here is horrible, all clay, and I have 3 big dogs. So going up is the only solution.

8:50 pm

** finito ** last word UN 4/6 - one of the many non-words in this grid (didn't enjoy thiss one)

I read "winter garden" & I thought "What's that?" I had to go check your profile to see where they have such things! ;-) (Minnesota doesn't have gardens outside in winter)

8:51 pm

origami

Not to be depressing, but I have been pretty down. Hanging on to the tomatoes, though :-)

8:51 pm

YAY, wv!!! WTG!!!

8:51 pm

any clues needed

8:51 pm

Nef

Did anyone enjoy this one, wv? I hate it too

8:52 pm

origami

Yep, nef. I can grow 12 months of the year. Sometimes Jan/Feb can freeze above-ground things, but I always have beets and turnips and kale and such even in the coldest of winters here.

8:52 pm

origami

Congrats teach!

8:52 pm

Nef

Yes, Please that 2nd column, 3rd row E please

8:52 pm

i also checked your profile to see where one can have a winter garden - certainly not from around here

8:53 pm

4 seasons of veggie gardening here. Although we put up with ghastly heat in the summer. I'm from the SF Bay Area and will never get used to the heat here.

8:55 pm

wvteach

Not at all - last winter in one snow storm we got 28 inches of snow - the week I was taking care of the two gradkids - everything closed

8:55 pm

Nef

Yum, origami. We plant kale, tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, carrots, peppers, squash, and I have an eggplant this year for some reason.

8:55 pm

Nef

Thank you wv!

8:56 pm

wvteach

with the hills all around we have lots of cross country skiing and several downhill ski areas - the one ski area has the greatest vertical drop east of the Mississippi

8:56 pm

origami

I can grow lettuce and kale and carrot in the winter. I do the others in the summer.

8:58 pm

Nef

For some reason, we keep trying & trying to grow carrots, but our carrots end up being 2 -3 inches long & maybe as thick as our thumbs. They taste wonderful but just won't grow long!

8:59 pm

origami

Winter veggies: cabbage, lettuce, root veggies, chard, broccoli, brussels sprouts, collard greens. Lots of good stuff.

8:59 pm

My carrots never get big either.

9:00 pm

Oh, another winter favorite ... cauliflower.

You are inspiring me to try winter veggies. The past couple winters we've only seen a couple days below freezing. Thanks for the list of veggies, origami!

9:01 pm

Nef

WV, saying that, here in MN we have some great ski areas, but our slopes are short. People from other areas caught when we say that, but a lot of Olympic skiers are either from here or come here to practice

9:02 pm

origami

ch112 ... you can visit your local cooperative extension office website and find a list of veggies to grow in the winter. Your climate is mild enough. I work for CE so am an advocate :-)

9:03 pm

ch1212

Gosh, I should have known that. One of my neighbors teaches classes for the county CE. Thanks!

9:03 pm

Nef

With our shorter runs, they actually can end up with more actual skiing because they aren't waiting in long lines to get back to the top of the hills again.

9:04 pm

Nef

great idea, origami. Extension offices are very helpful too. (I should find out why my carrots are always so short

9:04 pm

Well, it has dropped below 95F, so I am off to play with my poor neglected dogs for a bit. Happy babbling all.

i read an article somewhere that says skeeters do target certain people and ignore others. it offered suggestions to help protect yourself, also. i'll try to find it

9:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(hmm, just google this << mosquitoes target certain people >> and you will find several articles)

Nef

Well, supposedly they are attracted to bananas, so I don't eat them(& DH has thermal the time!).
I didn't even know I got bit in so many places today; but I have welts from bites all over my arms, neck & legs.

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hope you have good anti-itching lotion

9:43 pm

Nef

Oh yeah; I have to laugh: "Book Doctor" Gwen "Googles" too! (I thought you'd have a fun resource book that would help! ;-)

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

me loves google 8 - D

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

"book doctor" means editor -- not expert LOL

9:45 pm

Nef

Actually, I use a couple of home remedies that help: either a baking soda & water slurry, or rubbing a wet bar of soap on the itchy spot work as well as Calamine lotion for me

9:47 pm

Nef

Oh, Pooh!! I've always pictured you with a book lying on an exam table & you repairing the books' binding! (another imaginary idea wrong)

9:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

baking soda paste, yep, i learend that one from mom when i was little

9:49 pm

m9f9l

I'm back again. I'll add that green clay powder makes an awesome slurry for skin issues!

9:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

people who fix ordinary physical books are called bookbinders. if they fix ancient books for museums and stuff, they're conservationists

9:50 pm

m9f9l

I have 20 left in this horrible grid.

9:50 pm

Nef

I've always used it; there are a lot of things I'm sensitive too, so I try not to have anything with fragrances or a lot of chemicals

9:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i can do minor repairs, but before i learned any of that i was a book doctor

9:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

stopping itchy skin is as simple as keeping air off it, so, a layer of soap would work great, at least till it flakes off

9:51 pm

Nef

so, a book doctor is an editor that keeps the author in line?

9:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi m9

9:51 pm

m9f9l

soap dries my skin out.

9:51 pm

m9f9l

hi.

9:51 pm

Nef

WB, M9. I have 25 left myself

9:52 pm

m9f9l

is there a list? I don't think I can go any further on my own.

9:52 pm

Nef

what is green clay powder?

9:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

an "emergency" editor. the publisher buys a manuscript, then realizes it's unpublishable but they have already contracted to publish it. call in the book doctor to fix it in a hurry

9:52 pm

m9f9l

at least not without getting really grumpy!

9:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

in hollywood they're called "script doctors"

9:52 pm

m9f9l

My monkeys are exhausted!

9:52 pm

Nef

Why would it be unpublishable?

9:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the book i "doctored" was simply purchased in a rush by the publisher who didn't look very closely at it, since it filled a niche they were looking to fill

9:53 pm

Nef

There is a list, M9. I listed at 28; & am too busy chatting right now

9:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they then found out it was badly researched and full of incorrect "facts"

9:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

m9, check to see if Molly has a list in her profile; she usually does

9:54 pm

Nef

Oh, wow! And they bought it anyway? Why would an author turnout drivel like that?

9:54 pm

m9f9l

it's clay in a powder form. I like the french green clay best. Here's from some website: From the standpoint of mineralogy, French green clay belongs to a subcategory of clay minerals known as illite clays, the other two major groups being kaolinite and smectite clays.

9:54 pm

Nef

Locket's list is up

9:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

there are thousands of people at any given moment trying to sell their books. not all of them are gems

9:55 pm

Nef

Lickety's list

9:55 pm

stidmama

hey all

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the author was not a professional author, just a guy who collected anecdotes about place name origins (the topic of the book) and he had simply collected a lot of BS

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hiya stid and nef and anyone i missed

9:56 pm

Nef

hi stid!

9:57 pm

stidmama

:-)

9:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

another quick and cheap "cure" for itchy skin is a few pieces of scotch tape. just keep the air off the itchy part.

9:59 pm

Nef

I'm thinking about that author, Gwen, &all I can think of is why did he even collect it if it wasn't true? What a waste of time!

10:00 pm

stidmama

listing at 15 to go... got a lot last night at flip (was watching a movie with Tom) :-) Love vacation time. I am going to start getting back on school schedule in another couple weeks. Time is ticking!

10:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, all of this was before wikipedia and google, so, difficult to check whether what you have been told is true. anyway, as i said, it was not a very good manuscript, which is why they called in a book doctor

10:01 pm

Nef

It sure is, stid. It's AUGUST tomorrow! YIKES!!

10:01 pm

stidmama

ugh. so many fish.... (minnows, it seems!)

10:02 pm

stidmama

that one was a fingerling... *sigh*

10:02 pm

stidmama

down to 9. :-)

10:02 pm

Nef

did you get your name on it too then? Or do Book Doctors get any credit at all

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, book doctors are editors. the author gets the credit, and if the editor is lucky, she gets mentioned in the acknoledgements. (this is very common in the publishing biz; in fact, celebrities who write books often are not the actual authors)

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

go go go stid!

10:03 pm

stidmama

that one was a mammal, but VERY fishy! *giggle* (in 4/4)

10:04 pm

Nef

Is that "ghost writing" then? Or is that differentials?

10:05 pm

Nef

I had that one, stid; & yes, it IS fishy! :-)

10:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, ghost writing. "The Art of the Deal" is a famous ghost'written books been in the news lately

Hello IndiaJan!

10:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's a smart way to sell, if you only care about selling. slap a celebrity's name on it and it will sell. (assuming you have a popular celebrity)

10:09 pm

Nef

Hi IndiaJan

enjoy your week, gwen!

10:14 pm

YAY, STID!!! WTG!!!

10:16 pm

Nef

(DH is having me edit his bio for his 50th high school reunion; so am *I* being a book doctor too? ;-)

10:21 pm

stidmama

or are you ghost writing, Nef?

10:25 pm

Nef

His 1st copy was so depressing I rewrote it and told the same things but in a very upbeat way. This is his second one he wrote; and it's so depressing again. He also wrote it in such way he didn't use the word *I* once; every sentence starts with "went" or
did". :-(

10:46 pm

stidmama

Oh boy... that passive writing style is hard to unlearn!

10:47 pm

stidmama

sorry - am working on putting together a form that automatically populates lesson plans. Trying to add in the common core standards with explanations now, so it's easier to put it all together later. :-) Going to be a looong month!

10:50 pm

m9f9l

fw!

10:51 pm

m9f9l

stid.. that sounds, um..not so fun.

10:53 pm

Nef

WAY, M9!!! WTG!!!

10:55 pm

Nef

YAY, not WAY. (sheesh! If I make all of these typos; how can I ever edit his bio?) smh

10:57 pm

Nef

Actually, stid, I think that sounds like a great form! This should make your job easier once yogurt it done, right?

10:58 pm

m9f9l

Yogurt! bwaahaaa haaa!

10:59 pm

m9f9l

You're on a roll Nef ;-)

11:00 pm

Nef

LOL! I certainly am! Gosh: trying to do 2 things at once is NOT working very well.

11:00 pm

m9f9l

I'm sure you'll do a great job editing though. Not the same as online chatting :-)

11:01 pm

m9f9l

g'night all.

11:02 pm

Nef

(Well,I'veals been watching a show on on poverty through a poor person's eyes too. It kind of made me think how horrid our "social systems" are!

11:03 pm
