9:38 am

flosey

9:38 am

rururocks

I think if you get wild and wooly.. you can be called sheepy

9:39 am

Uneaixoise

sleep tight, flosey :-)

9:40 am

Judi

G'night, Flosey!

9:40 am

Judi

Posheepy!

9:40 am

rururocks

music to shear by

9:41 am

rururocks

well.. now that i'm attempting to do the p's (after judi's comment) I can't find my last 9

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Hello kids.

9:42 am

rururocks

hi there scrabs

9:42 am

Judi

Hiya, Scrabbs!

9:42 am

rururocks

I hope things are going well with the boys still

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruru. I just saw a Native American family that moved back to the Reservation here from Sacramento.

9:43 am

bichon

Hey Scrabs, nice to see you here. How's Ryder doing?

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Ryder underwent adenoidectomy yesterday so we spent the day at Children's Hospital. He was doing well by the evening. Tough little kid.

9:43 am

rururocks

that's quite a radical change

9:44 am

Scrabbler

The father is non-Native and from there but the mother is from here.

9:44 am

rururocks

what does the adenoid do?

9:44 am

bichon

You're a good mom.

9:44 am

Judi

Ah. Did he snore like a warthog?

9:45 am

Scrabbler

Mom got upset when she was in recovery with him for 5 minutes and he cried for me. I was summoned to console him and she left crying.

9:45 am

Judi

Oy. Drama.

9:45 am

bichon

Any idea when she is going to take custody?

9:46 am

Scrabbler

Adenoids are lymphoid tissue that produce antibodies and fight infection, but if enlarged they cause mouthbreathing, snoring, and recurrent sinus infections.

9:46 am

rururocks

then maybe she should learn how to be a mother if she'd like to see something else

9:46 am

bichon

Sounds like I could use that

9:46 am

rururocks

oh.. thanks scrab..

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Mom needs to make more progress. In fact, they are in Family Court this morning. Mom needs to be an adult and not an adolescent.

9:47 am

MLFAN17

nope no Arnold here

9:47 am

rururocks

:D

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Adenoids shrink at about age 5 or so.

9:47 am

rururocks

(imagines MLF with an Austrian accent)

9:47 am

bichon

So adenoids are not my problem

9:48 am

rururocks

<---doesn't snore..

9:48 am

MLFAN17

my 6/27?

9:48 am

Scrabbler

No. In adults snoring is typically from floppy palatal tissue so CPAP is needed.

9:48 am

MLFAN17

<-----does snore

9:49 am

Scrabbler

<---snores, but does not have obstructive sleep apnea.

9:49 am

Judi

<------------ Is a lady. Only breathes loudly.

9:49 am

MLFAN17

no sleep apnea for me that I know of

9:49 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, Judi!

9:49 am

bichon

I did not want to hear that. My real problem is "low cough threshold" I m beset with a frequent dry could which is awful when I am eating

9:50 am

MLFAN17

judi I used to say I just breathe with my mouth open and my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I don't think I snore much like that anymore for some reason

9:50 am

Judi

No. I snore. No apnea tho. Hubby, on the other hand...

9:50 am

Scrabbler

That is not good, bichon.

9:50 am

bichon

We are both snorers. Fun

9:51 am

MLFAN17

my hubby's snoring could wake up neighborhoods of people

9:51 am

MLFAN17

my 6/27?

9:51 am

bichon

No, it' not Scrabs. Saw an ENT and the only thing that relieves is is sucking on aa lozenge

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, was your esophagus examined/scoped too?

9:53 am

Judi

I've been nagging hubby for years to get his tonsils, adenoids & uvula removed. He's still cowering in a corner.

9:53 am

bichon

Yes. It all started when I began BP med [Losartan]

9:53 am

bichon

You can remove a uvula?

9:54 am

Judi

Uvula - otherwise known as "floppy palatal tissue".

9:54 am

MLFAN17

yes judi:)

9:54 am

bichon

But I never thought you can remove it

9:55 am

Judi

Not sure if it serves any real purpose. Suppose removal could end a yodeling career (which would be a benefit to all of society).

9:55 am

bichon

Googled it. But only for snoring.

9:56 am

MLFAN17

I love yodeling lol

9:56 am

Judi

NOOOOOOO!

9:56 am

rururocks

(tosses the pants with suspenders he bought for judi for xmas out)

9:56 am

MLFAN17

my 6/27? ON5?

9:57 am

bichon

I wouldn't even know how

9:57 am

MLFAN17

I love suspenders it was a fad in the 80s

9:58 am

rururocks

I have ground to a halt here

9:58 am

bichon

77 left here

9:58 am

MLFAN17

what do you mean ruru?

9:58 am

rururocks

stuck with 39 to go

9:59 am

MLFAN17

I am way behind all of you I have 156 left at the moment

9:59 am

Scrabbler

There are other surgeries for snoring, to stiffen the palate. (awaiting pun from Ruru now)

10:00 am

bichon

You must wake up with an awful sore throat

10:00 am

MLFAN17

but getting anything done surgically about snoring isn't relating to any real health issues is it?

10:00 am

rururocks

I can't scrabs.. i'd be afraid of a tongue lashing

10:01 am

MLFAN17

ewww

10:01 am

bichon

Well, could improve marital bliss

10:01 am

MLFAN17

my 6/27 clue please?

10:01 am

MLFAN17

bichon not making too much noise when you are sleeping could also be kind of scary

10:03 am

Scrabbler

Obstructive sleep apnea is medically dangerous and can cause obesity and cardiopulmonary problems.

10:04 am

MLFAN17

that's true scrab

10:04 am

MLFAN17

100 words down:)

10:05 am

rururocks

obesity how?

10:05 am

MLFAN17

maybe because of whatever is obstructing certain parts of the body may be trapped ?

10:07 am

Scrabbler

Sleep deprivation increases one's appetite.

10:07 am

Scrabbler

And the flip side is true: obesity causes sleep apnea.

10:08 am

MLFAN17

I never knew that

10:08 am

MLFAN17

increasing the appetite wow

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Obese kids with enlarged tonsils typically lose weight after undergoing tonsillectomy, and their behavior/school problems often resolve because they are no longer sleep deprived.

10:10 am

MLFAN17

that makes senses

10:10 am

MLFAN17

sense oops

10:10 am

MLFAN17

and pb for me

10:10 am

MLFAN17

scrab?

10:12 am

Scrabbler

I am here, awaiting next patient.

10:12 am

MLFAN17

do you have the my 6/27?

10:12 am

Scrabbler

I have nothing from that corner M.

10:13 am

Scrabbler

and no my- words.

10:13 am

MLFAN17

thank you anyway I have all but that one

10:13 am

rururocks

my 6 /27 is a constriction of the eye spelled funny

10:14 am

10:15 am

MLFAN17

Scrabbler

10:16 am

rururocks

10:17 am

MLFAN17

oh my god that is so cool! does it happen every year?

10:17 am

Scrabbler

We have seen 2 hot air balloons over our nearby park in the last month, one just last week. How the boys get excited!

10:17 am

rururocks

we've had crappy weather here for a week so they haven't been flying overhead.. they fly right over my house every morning

10:18 am

MLFAN17

I have heard that in Iowa they have a balloon festival every year in either oct or nov.

10:18 am

Trifioso

MLFAN17

10:21 am

MLFAN17

10:21 am

rururocks

10:22 am

rururocks

10:23 am

bichon

10:27 am

wvteach

mlf - you can come here to WV - we have a balloon festival every year - it was just held last weekend

10:28 am

MLFAN17

i don't think my husband would be interested unfortunately

10:28 am

MLFAN17

is it part of another festival wv?

10:29 am

bichon

I have the flannel sheets on, but last night it was uncomfortably warm

10:30 am

wvteach

No - it is just The Balloon Festival - started thursday evening and went through sunday

10:30 am

MLFAN17

i sweated like crazy last night when i first went to bed

10:30 am

MLFAN17

wv did you go?

10:31 am

wvteach

We did not go - but you would see them Friday - sunday floating over the town

10:31 am

rururocks

I bet the time on the weekend just floated by at the festival :D

10:32 am

MLFAN17

just like your jokes ruru lol

10:32 am

MLFAN17

what part of wv is it?

10:32 am

bichon

what exactly is your icon. Not really Trump

10:33 am

wvteach

Morgantown - home of WVU Mountaineers - north central, almost on the PA border

10:33 am

rururocks

it's a trump/Hilary computer blend

10:33 am

bichon

lol

10:34 am

MLFAN17

ruru i noticed ewww

10:35 am

rururocks

Imagine bill Clinton waking up to THAT in the morning

10:35 am

MLFAN17

wv yes i am familiar with that area:0) and i watch the Mountaineers too

10:35 am

MLFAN17

ruru ugghhh

10:36 am

MLFAN17

i guess maybe every state has a hot air balloon festival. i just mentioned it to hubby and he has no interest in going in a hot air balloon and yes he is full of hot air

10:37 am

Trifioso

oyse

10:37 am

Trifioso

damn sorry

10:37 am

wvteach

I have always wanted to go up in one - during the festivl they offer tethered and untethered rides

10:38 am

MLFAN17

wv you have been there all your life and haven't done it yet??

10:39 am

wvteach

haven't been here all of my life - cane when huband went to graduate school here in the 1970's

10:40 am

MLFAN17

wv ohhhh

10:41 am

MLFAN17

was he a Mountaineer fan?

10:43 am

wvteach

not really - he does not follow sports at all - I took my sons to one football game back when they were little - follow their soccer and gymnastic teams

10:43 am

MLFAN17

that's cool. i saw the women's wv soccer team on tv not long ago

10:45 am

MLFAN17

are both as6's pl's?

10:45 am

wvteach

womens socceer has been way up there in the naational rankings - higher than the mens team - granddaughter is in to gymnastics - competes on her local team but gets to be a "runner" at the WVU gymnastics meets

10:46 am

wvteach

i have just one AS 6 - it is pl

10:47 am

MLFAN17

not that i didn't think they had other sports there of course they do its just a rarity to see a women's soccer team from an area like that. The football team is so highly disregarded because of the school's size and probably where it is located

10:47 am

wvteach

just got 2nd AS 6 - it is also a pl

10:47 am

MLFAN17

i have the one located in Colorado?

10:47 am

MLFAN17

or a ski resort in that state

10:48 am

wvteach

the rifle team is the most highly ranked nationally and the first Olympic gold medal this year went to a WVU female rifle team member

10:48 am

MLFAN17

yeah don't they have ot learn to use one of those in certain aras of wv?lol

10:50 am

wvteach

most of the athletes come from outside of WV - but hunting is a popular sport here in WV - the first day of deer hunting sesson is like a state holiday

10:50 am

MLFAN17

they have had issues with the mascot of wv college firing off the musket i think its called ?

10:51 am

MLFAN17

i think that's why they attend the colleges there for the athletics not the academic

10:51 am

wvteach

they aare evidently some stadiums where he/she is not allowed to fire it -

10:51 am

MLFAN17

can you clue the other as6 please wv?

11:54 am

no SN4 yet nan, and, better still, none in the long range forecast !! How about in your area nn ?

11:54 am

montreal13

nan even...

11:54 am

montreal13

shew

11:55 am

montreal13

sorry...not a word...

11:55 am

cybernan

been getting some rain and it's down to single digits in the am, but no frost yet -- unlike you, we don't usually get snow before the end of December

11:55 am

montreal13

with climate change, that is becoming our reality here as well nan - last year, we played tennis till december !

11:55 am

cybernan

wll never forget our first winter in mtl -- never been so cold in my life!

11:57 am

montreal13

it only gets cold here in January; we were used to much colder winters in the past...what year was that nan ?

11:57 am

cybernan

we lived there 1969-76

11:58 am

cybernan

we had moved from Vancouver and only had light weight winter coats -- kids didn't own snowsuits

11:58 am

montreal13

we had major Sn4storms in the early 70s...

11:59 am

cybernan

we lived on Nun's Island the first 2 years and when the wind came ripping up that river....

12:00 pm

cybernan

yes -- the metro was closed down several times

12:01 pm

montreal13

yes indeed - skating on Ile Notre-Dame yielded similar wind conditions...

12:01 pm

cybernan

how are you getting back and forth -- hasn't Champlain Bridge been condemned?

12:03 pm

montreal13

there was a storm, I forget what year exactly, when even the Victoria bridge was closed and that NEVER happens...Champlain bridge is fine and they are building a new one right next to it

12:04 pm

cybernan

oh - good -- saw something on the news not long ago -- maybe it was just no heavy vehicles allowed any more?

12:05 pm

montreal13

yes that happens - anyway, since highway 30 has been completed, most trucks avoid montreal altogether...

12:06 pm

Aloyisius

last word wo7: add the loch creature to a sad thing.. hagd, all! poof

12:06 pm

montreal13

bbl for last 48 - nice talking to you nan - happy babblings all - poof

12:08 pm

cybernan

haven't been back since we left so wouldn't recognize the place any more I'm sure. The Nun's Island development was brand new when we moved there and we bought a house in Dollard in '71.

12:08 pm

cybernan

ty aloy and grats :-)

12:10 pm

montreal13

you would not recognize Nun"s island nan - it is still developping and has a few rotary traffic circles...and with the construction of the accesses to the new Champlain bridge, it's confusing as hell...

12:10 pm

cybernan

no doubt, mtl

12:11 pm

montreal13

bye for now nan - real poof

Just noticed what you mean about all the s's!

6:42 pm

Uneaixoise

it's insane!

6:42 pm

Lizlin

Difficult grid

6:42 pm

HarryHood

I'm liking this grid. 66 to go, haven't listed yet.

6:42 pm

Lizlin

Just listed with 50 left.

6:43 pm

Uneaixoise

impressive, harry!

6:43 pm

Uneaixoise

and liz!

6:43 pm

Lizlin

Funny how different grids appeal to everyone. The words just haven't jumped out at me with this one!

6:43 pm

HarryHood

I like a grid with no Cs :)

6:45 pm

Uneaixoise

c's aren't my fave either :-)

6:45 pm

Lizlin

Are you having a good sukkot, Harry?

6:45 pm

HarryHood

very nice liz. crazy warm weather for october, but it's supposed to get cold again tomorrow

6:45 pm

Lizlin

That's good - as long as the rain holds off!

6:46 pm

Lizlin

Also don't like c's - nor p's very much.

6:46 pm

HarryHood

rain tomorrow night :)

6:46 pm

HarryHood

I hate Gs

6:46 pm

Lizlin

Perhaps it won't happen. It rained for an hour here on Monday night but OK apart from that, though rain is forecast.

6:47 pm

Uneaixoise

send me all your rain, liz -- we've had 87 days of 90 degrees this year, and no rain in the last 3-4 weeks -- PARCHED

6:47 pm

HarryHood

gotta go put kiddos to sleep - bbl!

6:47 pm

Uneaixoise

bye, harry :-)

6:47 pm

Lizlin

We don't get much rain here, though we're heading into summer now, which is our rainy season.

6:47 pm

Lizlin

Bye Harry.

6:48 pm

Lizlin

Do you have water restrictions, Une?

6:51 pm

Uneaixoise

no . . .

6:52 pm

Lizlin

We have an average limitation of 200 litres per day - which is fine for us but we've had some stricter limitations when there's been more of a drought here.

6:52 pm

Uneaixoise

I've been keeping my hydrangeas and azaleas alive by the hardest! The yard itself is a dust bowl

6:53 pm

Lizlin

At least you're managing to keep them alive! Must look lovely even in a dust bowl! Or perhaps especially in a dust bowl!

6:54 pm

Uneaixoise

well, right now it's fall, so they're just green but they ARE pretty in the spring :-)

6:55 pm

Lizlin

We took out a hedge bordering our front drive this year and we're gradually planting seedlings - marigolds and dahlias and we've also planted 3 jasmines. Can't wait to see it all in flower.

6:55 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, the jasmines will smell sooo good! :-)

6:56 pm

Uneaixoise

what color dahlias did you plant?

6:56 pm

Lizlin

We had jasmine in the UK and we've wanted to plant some ever since we moved here.

6:56 pm

Lizlin

Mixed colours.

6:56 pm

Uneaixoise

cool :-)

6:56 pm

Lizlin

Oranges and yellows mostly, I think.

6:57 pm

Uneaixoise

When my mom went to England many years ago, she lost her mind over the rows of giant rhododendron along the country roads! :-)

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Can you clue the pe 5/6 combo at the end, pls?

6:57 pm

Uneaixoise

she was an amazing gardener :-)

6:58 pm

Uneaixoise

is that the basil sauce sing. and plural?

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Love rhododendrons - my parents lived near Wisley RHS in Surrey - they were beautiful.

6:58 pm

Lizlin

No, after that. After the domestic dogs and cats.

6:58 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, still working on those :-)

6:58 pm

Lizlin

OK.

6:59 pm
