1:53 pm
EvaNadine
its soft + gentle enough for little ears, but mom + dad cant help but sing along. ;)
1:57 pm
EvaNadine
we also have Guns n Roses, the Pixies, and a combination of various artists. :D
1:58 pm
hego
Eva, that's so funny! :)

TY jellen -- hard to believe that photo was nearly 2 months ago!
2:00 pm

hego
Congrats to Kieran!

congrats to mom for surviving the newborn stage! :)
2:01 pm
EvaNadine
he hit the bottle a little too hard this morning, so hes recuperating now. ;)
2:02 pm
EvaNadine
heh, TY mael. is he considered just an infant now?
2:02 pm
mael
I think so! Smiling and engaging was my metric for letting go of the newborn label. I found it immensely more rewarding!
2:03 pm
EvaNadine
he has FINALLY started smiling. cant help but love that!!
2:03 pm
Jellen
I must go now. Hugs to all!
2:07 pm
mael
smiling is the best :)
2:09 pm
leef34
Damn Eva, 2 months going on 20
2:13 pm
EvaNadine
aint that the truth!
2:18 pm
EvaNadine
mael -- youre right that its so rewarding once they start smiling... before that, its so much effort for absolutely no payout, which makes it even MORE exhausting!
but once you start getting smiles, its all worth it!
2:34 pm
mael
absolutely and you're through with the really tough part!
2:34 pm
mael
it gets better every day. Can't wait for my little dude to start talking now :)
2:50 pm
EvaNadine
i cant wait to see my little guy show some interest in toys...so far, cant be bothered...

Bugsaw
you will find many hours of enjoyment engaging with your son Jellen, no matter what stage he is at. hugs to you both
6:37 pm
Jellen
Oh, I don't have a son. It's Eva who has the little one.
6:38 pm
Bugsaw
I am sorry. I thought you were both lucky. Your youngest is 5 if I remember correctly? He would be a yard ape
6:38 pm
Jellen
I do have two soon to be step sons though.
6:39 pm
Jellen
It's an apt description!
6:41 pm

Eventually, Molly.
6:44 pm
Jellen
He just got a new job, and we are looking for a house.
6:46 pm

Yes, I hope so!

Good Evening. Anyone still around? (Congrats to all who have finished this grid!)
9:51 pm
Nef
Does anyone have a clue or the stats for that bottom row 3rd T please? I've found so many words from all of the other T's, but not a singleton for that particular T.
9:54 pm
Jellen
Tr8 = alt spelling of elephant's nose + consumed.
9:54 pm
grannyrose
hey nef. just got here. te7/32, plural of te6/21
9:55 pm
Jellen
Then 2 tr 9s
9:55 pm
Nef
Thank you Jellen
9:55 pm
grannyrose
sorry, not that
9:55 pm
grannyrose
thanx jellen for helping nef
9:56 pm
Nef
Thanks Jellen for that too!
9:57 pm
Nef
And granny rose, thanks for trying to help (I already had those two; but appreciate the attempt to help.)
9:58 pm
grannyrose
lol... too many t words which come from all three t's.
9:58 pm
Nef
How are you doing these days, granny? (I haven't seen you for a while)
9:58 pm
Nef
Yeah. I think it's 36 T words.
9:59 pm
grannyrose
okay, thanx nef. pain doc and i have worked out a regime which is definitely helping me get my life bach.
9:59 pm
grannyrose
lolllll... back.....
9:59 pm
Nef
Never mind; I have faulty math tonight!
9:59 pm
grannyrose
how are you doing nef?
10:01 pm
Nef
I'm doing okay; we just have to figure out how to keep DH healthy. (he's having frequent urine infections; I think his MS is causing at least part of that)
10:02 pm
rururocks
I'm having a hard time getting my beet-hoven
10:02 pm
grannyrose
i take it that you do have him on cranberry capsules or their equivalent?
10:02 pm
Nef
(with each infection, his nerves don't communicate with each other if he has a fever; so he ends up in the hospital each time)
10:03 pm
grannyrose
incontinence with UTI's is quite common.
10:04 pm
Nef
Oh, I've had him on cranberry pills, dried cranberries, fresh cranberries, etc. And he even made a really great-tasting cranberry smoothie-- just before he ended up in the hospital this time.
10:04 pm
grannyrose
and barley water is supposed to be good too
10:05 pm
Nef
No; it's the inability to go at all!. This time they sent him home with a foley in place for 3 weeks; so we will see what's what.
10:05 pm
grannyrose
anything which alkalines the urine. it makes it difficult for bugs to grow
10:06 pm
grannyrose
ahhhh, now that's a different story altogether. poor man, and poor you. so frustrating.
10:06 pm
Nef
Barley water? I've never heard of that! (Does beef early soup count? That was our supper; a friend made it & brought it over
10:08 pm
grannyrose
it can be made plain or with lemon. google for some easy recipes
10:08 pm
Nef
okay; I will do that.
10:10 pm
grannyrose
when you scroll through the sites available you will find one titled '9 benefits of barley water'.
10:11 pm
Nef
LOL! They must be holding out on Australia! I found a site that says there are 10 benefits of it! :-D
10:12 pm
grannyrose
loll, probably
10:12 pm
grannyrose
anyway, it's interesting reading. my granny and pa swore by it.
10:14 pm
Cathyar
Hi everyone! I'm only here sporadically these days, but I love this game. Just life is so busy! I do so miss the days of Ren and Nutty though. <3
10:14 pm
Nef
So far it looks like it's pretty easy to do. He has residuals of 400- 500 cc after voiding;so if this is a natural diuretic, maybe that will help? Won't know until he tries it, will we?
10:15 pm
Nef
Hi Cathyar. How are you doing these days?
10:15 pm
Cathyar
Very well, thank you Nef! And you? :-)
10:16 pm
Nef
(My cat is reminding me & scolding me that it's 10 PM & she needs her treat; BRB)
10:19 pm
Cathyar
We have two kitties now, Diablo and Gary (named by my son, after Sponge Bob's pet snail...meow). Sadly, we had to have our little Buster pup (in my pic) put down in January past, due to kidney failure.
10:19 pm
Nef
Sorry, she's 18 years old, & she knows the time! She wants her night-time catnip & tuna treats at 10 PM (but occasionally she tries to tell me that when it's only 9:30!)
10:19 pm
Cathyar
Nothing wrong with having kitty on a routine Nef! <3
10:21 pm
Cathyar
Hi Jellen!
10:21 pm
Nef
Aww, he's adorable looking! We had to put down our 16 year old shih-zpoo a year ago January; he became very senile & would bark all night & was incontinent
10:22 pm
Nef
Hi again Jellen
10:23 pm
Cathyar
Oooh...it's hard when we have to let them go. They're very much a part of the family!
10:23 pm
Cathyar
Buster was just 10 when we lost him.
10:26 pm
Nef
Yes; but with our dog; he was also becoming a danger to my hubby who would trip on him (my DH has MS). One of them would have been badly hurt if DH fell on the dog.
10:26 pm
Nef
That is young for such a small dog, isn't it?
10:30 pm
Cathyar
Yes...it is, but sadly he was ill. He was not eating, was vomiting nothing but clear liquid...he would try to drink but it would come back up. He lost so much weight in a matter of a week. When we took him to the vet, they explained that it can hit at any age. I kept questioning whether it was our fault...did we do something inadvertently or not do something we should have. Our vet advised that we shouldn't feel that way. She said that even if we had him x-rayed and treated for his kidney's, it might only offer him another year. We decided to be compassionate and not have him suffer. It broke our hearts, as he was our first fur baby.
10:33 pm
Nef
:-( Oh, that's so sad!
I really miss having a dog in the family; but with my husband getting sick all the time; the cat is enough for now. (She stays away from him; I think she's afraid he will trip on her too!)
10:37 pm
Nef
DANG! I've had the Qu6/10 for over an hour; & have been searching & searching for the 2nd Qu word. Just NOW I thought that maybe if I took off the last pl letter, that *might* be the word I'm looking for; & sure enough; that was it!
11:07 pm
Nef
Well; I made it half way & am trying to stay awake here; so will quit while I'm ahead. Good Night Everyone>
Happy Babbling!
11:10 pm
grannyrose
nighty night nef. sweet dreams.
