WHEW combo of clues somehow put together got me there

12:45 am

Lizlin

WTG Hurshy

12:45 am

cybernan

ty liz

12:45 am

hurshy

haven't people in the mile high club had ai6?

12:46 am

Lizlin

And how do you move on snow if not with an ai 7?

12:46 am

Lizlin

yw nan

12:46 am

m9f9l

yeah.. but it's probably two words.

12:47 am

cybernan

skis, snowshoes and a skidoo

12:47 am

Lizlin

Maybe!

12:47 am

hurshy

i just was starting to feel like i had a handle on the things i need to do in the immediate future and boom, coming down with a cold. gah.

12:48 am

cybernan

never heard of an ai 7 -- is it like a hovercraft?

12:48 am

hurshy

no we are making up words

12:48 am

Lizlin

In sci fi books and movies, yes.

12:48 am

m9f9l

oh no! vick's on your feet and socks when you go to bed!

12:48 am

hurshy

i was refraining from saying that you move on snow with a regular old sl4

12:49 am

hurshy

but maybe if you are like, a fairy, and you want to move on snow AS it is FALLING...

12:49 am

Lizlin

Still remember that - obviously haven't been away from snow for long enough :)

12:49 am

hurshy

vicks on your FEET? i mean, i have no vicks, but, why feet?

12:50 am

m9f9l

on the bottom of your feet.

12:50 am

hurshy

yes WHY. i thought it was meant to go on your chest.

12:50 am

ursh

oooh as kids we got vicks rubbed on our chests, backs and bottom of feet - hated it - still do

12:51 am

m9f9l

it's similar to the soak feet in hot water and then put icy wet cotton socks on with wool socks over and go to bed, but quicker.

12:51 am

hurshy

what do it accomplish on the feeeeeeet??

12:51 am

hurshy

i want to knooooooooow

12:51 am

ursh

hahaha hurshy whoooo knoooooows

12:51 am

m9f9l

It moves everything through the body..circulation... things tend to pool in feet. At least that's what I gather.

12:52 am

cybernan

never heard of putting it on the feet either

12:52 am

m9f9l

It's especially good for congestion.

12:53 am

hurshy

ICY WET COTTON SOCKS?!?! who thought of that one, torquemada??

12:54 am

m9f9l

You can do it on stomach also.. hot cloth..hotter cloth.. then icy cloth lay towel over, go to sleep

12:54 am

m9f9l

Our naturopath had us do that with our daughter.

12:55 am

cybernan

sounds like some form of torture to me

12:56 am

m9f9l

Well the Vick's (or mentholatum) is much easier, for sure.

12:56 am

cybernan

what's wrong with popping a decongestant?

12:58 am

m9f9l

Some people don't like taking things

12:59 am

hurshy

i like taking things

12:59 am

m9f9l

Whose things?

1:00 am

NonoNanette

ti

1:00 am

cybernan

I'd much rather take a pill that is going to clear my head and make me more comfortable than slather something sticky and smelly all over myself

1:01 am

m9f9l

It's really not that bad.

1:02 am

hurshy

well i mostly suck on nasty chalky ZINC tablets, take sudafed, throat numbing drops, have tea and soup...

1:02 am

m9f9l

Sometimes I wonder if that's why I hardly ever get sick, because I don't take anything. Not even aspirin usually.

1:03 am

m9f9l

and vitamin C hurshy?

1:03 am

cybernan

phantom finite -- can't get it through my head that it's not there

1:04 am

m9f9l

I do lymph massage and that opens up sinuses pretty quickly.

1:05 am

m9f9l

101 left and feeling pretty stuck

1:06 am

cybernan

and echinacea

1:06 am

cybernan

83 left and stuck

1:06 am

m9f9l

1:12 am

cybernan

5:23 am

rubyfoo

Kt's not such a good morning.

5:23 am

MollyL

I hope it was the kid who lights the fire for you

5:24 am

rubyfoo

Tough morning; I can't get warm, even sitting in front of the fire in many layers of clothing an blankets

5:24 am

rubyfoo

He lit the fire and Ive kept it going, but I'm miserable

5:25 am

rubyfoo

I think it's me!

5:25 am

MollyL

Sending warm thoughts your way Ruby

5:26 am

rubyfoo

Thank you. How about some soup? I think I'll make a grog to warm me up

5:27 am

rubyfoo

MollyL

One day at at time and all that
: )

5:29 am

rubyfoo

It's scary

5:34 am

lil*monkey

Aw ruby I'm sorry ! Sending warm thoughts and *virtual soup* to you.

5:34 am

MollyL

Ruby, John O'Donohue was one of my favorite Irish poets and scholars. Here is one thing he said about fear:
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more

6:36 am

rubyfoo

Thank you both. I've reached out to Neighbors who have offered to help, so I feel a little better.

6:39 am

lil*monkey

Molly, that quote is just beautiful.

6:39 am

lil*monkey

Glad u feel better ruby

6:39 am

lil*monkey

I just made mini-frittatas in a cupcake pan. THey are like tiny quiches, but no crust.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

Molly is always there with the right words!

6:40 am

bichon

Warm thoughts to you ruby

6:40 am

lil*monkey

I especially like the final line, ruby. "Waste my heart on fear no more." Good words!

6:41 am

lil*monkey

morning bichon!

6:41 am

rubyfoo

Could you send me the recipe pls, monkey. That sounds like something I could do easily

6:41 am

rubyfoo

nelliekelley50@yahoo.com

6:41 am

rubyfoo

Hello Bichon

6:42 am

lil*monkey

ruby, it's very easy! Just make sure you grease the muffin tin liberally. Yes I will email it to you.

6:44 am

MollyL

If you like crust, you can use the same recipe and press 1/2 a biscuit (from a tube of biscuits) into the muffin cup before you add the filling.

6:45 am

bichon

I have a whining dog here

6:45 am

MollyL

That is if you are using Grand biscuits. If you are using the small, regular ones, press a whole biscuit into the muffin cup, to form a "cup shape" for the filling.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

Could I do that with a piece of bread as there are no iscuits in my house

6:48 am

rubyfoo

At least I've stopped shivering as the sun has come out and I face South

6:49 am

rubyfoo

What is a buttr some toast and put that in the bottoim

6:49 am

lil*monkey

OK ruby I emailed you :)

6:49 am

rubyfoo

what if I butter*

6:50 am

lil*monkey

Oh I like that idea Molly, with the biscuit! Or buttered toast. Either one would work, I'm sure.

6:50 am

lil*monkey

I was going crustless, to keep the recipe "paleo." I'm trying not to eat much sugar and zero startch.

6:50 am

lil*monkey

*starch*

6:50 am

MollyL

Those things are great to take on a road trip or a breakfast picnic.

6:51 am

lil*monkey

Molly I made 4, and just ate 2. I'm going to try the other 2 tomorrow, and microwave them.

6:51 am

rubyfoo

Eating in this house is like a ski picnic

6:52 am

lil*monkey

I did not realize that France got so cold.

6:52 am

lil*monkey

I have been there, but it was summertime.

6:53 am

rubyfoo

This is the first time in 18 years, over a week at 20F or so, colder at night

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I'm in the foothills of the Alps, an hour from Mt Blanc

6:54 am

Trifioso

6:55 am

rubyfoo

hello trif

6:55 am

lil*monkey

Hi Trifi! HOw's everything going?

6:55 am

rubyfoo

I've just been whining all morning

6:56 am

lil*monkey

Wish you were closer to me ruby! I would bring some frittatas over to you :)

6:56 am

Trifioso

well enough, monkey - heading into the city soon to take part in one of hundreds of women's marches happening today.

6:56 am

Trifioso

Ruby, your home sounds so beautiful

6:56 am

lil*monkey

I wanted to Trifi, but am sick with cough & cold.

6:57 am

rubyfoo

It is, Trif, but it's heatless and drafty

6:57 am

Trifioso

I will carry you in my heart, monkey! sorry to hear you are unwell - colds STINK

6:57 am

MollyL

My sister is going to the march in Asheville. Her poster says: I am done accepting the things I cannot change. I am now changing the things I cannot accept.

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I am on the march in spirit!!

6:57 am

lil*monkey

Thank you Trifi

6:57 am

Trifioso

oh, that's a good one, molly!

6:57 am

lil*monkey

I'm on the march in spirit too!!!!

6:58 am

lil*monkey

Molly, I love that saying!

6:58 am

rubyfoo

That's a great slogan!

6:58 am

Trifioso

my facebook feed this morning is absolutely FULL of pics of marches from all over the world - so inspiring

6:58 am

rubyfoo

What is going to happen?

6:58 am

Trifioso

I don't think any of this will make the slightest difference to the trump, but somehow the show of spirit is important anyway

6:59 am

rubyfoo

What is going to happen? Even the French arr scared!

6:59 am

lil*monkey

AWESOME! My cousin is going to the march in Washington DC , where she lives. Everyone please pray for their safety. There was crazy looting & rioting yesterday.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

Did anybody see Bernard Henri-Levy's essay in the Tipmes?

6:59 am

Trifioso

there was indeed. that rioting and such was terrible.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

Times*

6:59 am

Trifioso

which times, ruby - London?

7:00 am

rubyfoo

Here, they call it "manifs"

7:00 am

rubyfoo

NY

7:00 am

MollyL

Sadly, there are people who will use any excuse to riot and loot, no matter what side of things they are on.

7:00 am

rubyfoo

I get the int'l edition

7:00 am

Trifioso

I am AWFUL about crowds - scare me to my absolute end. But I just feel I have to go today.

7:00 am

MollyL

And we can all now go and riot in the PB

7:00 am

Trifioso

I will look it up ruby.

7:00 am

lil*monkey

Yes I agree Molly... I was hoping the rioters were not actually natives of DC. I found it so embarrassing.

7:01 am

Trifioso

I won't be surprised when it turns out they were hired.

7:01 am

lil*monkey

THat's what I was thinking, Trifi.

7:01 am

rubyfoo

Did anybody Watch Biden's homeoming speech? I love that guy!

7:02 am

Trifioso

I am marching today with my son - one of my proudest moments.

7:02 am

rubyfoo

wow!

7:05 am

Trifioso

((( I really do hate crowds though....just thinking about it has me in a cramp))))

7:05 am

rubyfoo

takea xanax!

7:05 am

rubyfoo

takea xanax!

7:05 am

lil*monkey

So amazing you will have your wonderful son with you Trifi!

7:06 am

Trifioso

he does keep me sane.....

7:06 am

Trifioso

helping valentine pack later, which I am thinking will be a good, calming activity

7:06 am

rubyfoo

You are very fortunate, Trif!

7:09 am

bichon

We wore black arm bands yesterday

7:10 am

MollyL

I would suggest that anyone who wants to make a change get involved in their local government. That is where change starts.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

That's what J>oe said lst night and Obama;, too.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

That's what J>oe said lst night and Obama;, too.

7:11 am

lil*monkey

Great advice!

7:12 am

rubyfoo

If we can get through the neext two years without a world war.....

7:20 am

trentsnana

Thanks, Molly!

7:20 am

MollyL

Sadly, as long as special interest groups "fund" our government, all the protests in the world will do very little good.

7:21 am

MLFAN17

7:21 am

RoundBarn

I saw off 2 busload to Wash dc yesterday from Spfld Il--we will have a thousand, maybe 2, herre, in front of the old state capitol--Durbin will be here--we all helped put him in office manay years ago--I'd go to dc myself but am too old at this point--

7:25 am

MLFAN17

pussy hats? not good

7:25 am

Trifioso

no, no, mlf, they are fine - just pink knitted hats with ears, like a cat. it's a way of reclaiming the word

7:26 am

rururocks

I am more fond of asshats ðŸ˜³

7:26 am

MLFAN17

reclaiming the word?

7:26 am

RoundBarn

7:27 am

MLFAN17

ohhh how many will be doing it do you know?

7:27 am

RoundBarn

it's about how Zeus impregnated Danae.

7:28 am

MLFAN17

ohh

7:29 am

RoundBarn

of the 110 who left here yestereay on buses, with lots of peasnut butter sandwiches, I'd say about a third had the hats--homemade, or altered from a cap they had. It IS redeeming the word.

7:29 am

MLFAN17

peanut butter sandwiches? yumm

7:30 am

RoundBarn

If you are quoting crossy shouldn't it be some other author?

While radii is the plural of radius, dildi is not a plural form of dildo. Oh well.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

lil*monkey

The plural is not dildeuce either.

11:54 am

I thought that would be two of them.

lil*monkey

I'm working on S now

2:33 pm

moolingwa

I'm not using a list, so bit slower now

2:34 pm

MollyL

I don't think it matters whether you use a list...Lickety...or not. Just how you enjoy playing the game.

2:35 pm

lil*monkey

Finished the Ss... yes I agree Molly. I like using the list sporadically.

2:38 pm

moolingwa

Yep, have no problem with others using lists

2:38 pm

moolingwa

I used to a long time ago, but switched to not using it to make it harder

2:45 pm

Yay, Ds are done.

hi folks, back to find more words. My niece went to the March in Phila.

2:55 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Peri :-) How did it go? I saw on the news that there were around 400,000 people in some areas!

2:56 pm

periwinkle

I don't know. have not talked with her today. I was supposed to go with her but I do not like being in a crowd of people.

2:57 pm

zoozzoom

I hear you on that one. I have panic attacks if there are too many people around me.

2:59 pm

rururocks

what about here in the chat when it gets crowded?

3:00 pm

periwinkle

not the same ruru

3:00 pm

periwinkle

ruru, I have not had a chance to check out the wine list you gave me here on Babble. maybe this week

3:01 pm

rururocks

ok.. I hope you like some of them.. they're all priced right that's for sure

3:01 pm

periwinkle

:)

3:02 pm

periwinkle

I hope I can find some of them

3:02 pm

rururocks

you live in Pennsylvannia dont' you.. the liquor board has a lot of good wines from around the world.. you might have luck finding some of them

3:03 pm

periwinkle

I do. I will let you know

3:03 pm

moolingwa

I used to live in Havertown

3:03 pm

I lived right near the Blue route off of 3

yikes, 30 words left, and only 4 of them are 4 letters

3:12 pm

rururocks

6 here .. but not seeing them

3:16 pm

MollyL

I wish women had marched against Trump BEFORE he got elected. Marching after the fact seems like it will not do much good. But good for anyone who wants to make their voice heard. I can't get into the pussy hats though.

3:20 pm

zoozzoom

Pink not your color, Molly :-)

3:23 pm

MollyL

I am fine with pink. I just don't think that women in hats referred to as "pussy hats" will be taken seriously.

3:23 pm

MollyL

And I am all for women with a cause being taken seriously.

3:26 pm

zoozzoom

Maybe the word was in reference to the coach recording? But I must admit I did wonder why they chose that name for the hats.

3:29 pm

MollyL

It was definitely in reference to Trump's bad wording on the recording. But why make a point of something so uncouth? I would appreciate people of my gender being more gracious than that.

3:31 pm

dan2bit

reclamation of slurs is a thing that people try to do. Lot's of "Nasty Woman" accoutrement as well

3:32 pm

dan2bit

it's not always effective, but worth a try

3:32 pm

zoozzoom

I agree with you, Molly. Maybe they thought fight him with a language he understands!

3:33 pm

zoozzoom

Ah yes I sa the Nasty Woman slogan too, Dan2bit.

3:33 pm

moolingwa

down to 27 to go...still have 4 four letter words, so that's something

3:33 pm

zoozzoom

Saw*

3:34 pm

lynxxx

I don't think gracious women got the vote, equal pay, abortion rights etc etc. Sometimes you have to stand up and make yourself heard. Fight fire with fire also springs to mind. Who would have thought a man with a mouth like that would ever lead your country.

3:35 pm

moolingwa

Not sure "lead' is the term I'd use

3:35 pm

MollyL

I agree. i just think that standing up against him needed to happen before the election.

3:35 pm

moolingwa

only 27% of eligible voters elected him

3:36 pm

moolingwa

Lot of people stood on the sidelines

3:36 pm

lynxxx

I didn't want to use 'represent' because I hope he doesn't represent everyone in the US

3:36 pm

moolingwa

yes, I'd say he represents far fewer than half

3:36 pm

zoozzoom

3 million more votes for Hillary too.

3:37 pm

lynxxx

sad isn't it - a good argument for compulsory voting

3:37 pm

moolingwa

yes, but people who live in cities count for less here in the US

3:38 pm

lynxxx

really? does it work on area rather than heads?

3:38 pm

moolingwa

It's called the electoral college

3:39 pm

moolingwa

basically every state gets two votes, plus a portion that represents (roughly) the population

3:39 pm

MollyL

Hillary wasn't going to represent women the way they should be represented. Hate me for that comment if you want to, but it is true.

3:39 pm

lynxxx

I'll read about it - thanks. Got to run

3:39 pm

moolingwa

Hillary Clinton was a tremendously flawed candidate too

3:40 pm

zoozzoom

Still comes down to who would of been better out of the two. Only time will tell now about one of them.

3:41 pm

moolingwa

Well, I think we all lose with Trump :)

3:41 pm

moolingwa

well except his family, friends and businesses which will all profit

3:43 pm

moolingwa

He's the classic snake oil salesman

3:43 pm

moolingwa

Tell lies, and when he gets caught...tell more lies or attack those who call him out

3:43 pm

zoozzoom

Well I think that is the case for every leader of a country. They are all mostly corrupt. Whats knew!

3:44 pm

moolingwa

I think there's a big difference between your regular politician and Trump

3:44 pm

MollyL

And yet Obama lied through all 8 of his years. It is just sad who the American voters put into office.

3:45 pm

moolingwa

How so Molly?

3:48 pm

MollyL

Obama did nothing for his entire 8 years as President. Obama care is a joke and screwed most of the American small business owners. I think Obama will go down as the most ineffective President in American history.

3:48 pm

moolingwa

I find politifact a good site for checking that sort of stuff

3:48 pm

moolingwa

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-mete\nr/promises/obameter/

3:49 pm

moolingwa

But you accused him of lying

3:51 pm

MollyL

I don't want to clutter up the chat with all the things Obama promised to do, that he did not do. If people are not aware of that, so be it.

3:51 pm

moolingwa

fair enough, it's not a political forum after all

3:51 pm

moolingwa

But if you do have the time, suggest you look at the link I sent

3:52 pm

moolingwa

I think if you compare to what Trump has already lied about, it's a significant difference: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-mete\nr/promises/obameter/

3:52 pm

moolingwa

27 to go...

3:53 pm

MollyL

I don't mind tossing around political beliefs here. You can believe what you want to. So can I.

3:53 pm

moolingwa

Would never suggest anything else

3:54 pm

moolingwa

I am a bit of a data junkie though

3:54 pm

MollyL

And just for the record, I am not a Trump supporter. I just don't think he is any better or worse than the one who just left office.

3:55 pm

moolingwa

As for myself, I can't vote as I am not a US Citizen

3:59 pm

MollyL

And being against Trump, and what he says he stands for...which I am against...the last thing I would do is march on Washington in a "pussy hat".

4:00 pm

moolingwa

As I said to my wife, I don't think marching is for me

4:02 pm

moolingwa

There some evidence from other countries around the world, that business leaders make poor political leaders

4:02 pm

moolingwa

In a business, you function as a dictator, you get to tell people what to do. In a democratic government, you can't do that

4:04 pm

moolingwa

Democracies also rely on keeping a majority of people happy...that includes those who aren't voting

4:05 pm

zoozzoom

As I understand it..it should be easier for him to pass laws as they control both houses of congress too?

4:05 pm

moolingwa

Well in some small sense zoom, but the US government is set up with three branches

4:06 pm

moolingwa

Executive - President, Legislative (Senate and House, and Judicial

4:06 pm

moolingwa

Just because Republicans control the senate and house doesn't mean that Trump gets to pass everything he wants

4:07 pm

moolingwa

There are a number of Republicans who do not agree with Trump, and thus he'll have to negotiate with them

4:07 pm

zoozzoom

Ah I see thank you for that.

4:07 pm

moolingwa

Likewise, the judicial system takes a much more measured view of things, despite their political affiliations

4:08 pm

moolingwa

The President in the US has some power, but by no means absolute power. Congress has to agree on a large amount of tings

4:09 pm

moolingwa

Certainly the President can influence direction, and has a much larger microphone than others, but congress and the courts have significant amounts of power of their own

4:10 pm

moolingwa

The founding fathers implemented a system that was intended to moderate change, to prevent "mob rule" and forcing a more measured change over time

4:10 pm

moolingwa

In a sense, it's inefficient by design

America has not been a Democracy for some time. Special interest groups pay for and control the government.

4:12 pm

moolingwa

In that true definition, America has never been a democracy

4:12 pm

zoozzoom

Thank you for the info. alas it is time for me to retire for the evening. But it was appreciated. Hope you all have a pleasant evening!

4:12 pm

moolingwa

goodnight zoom :)

4:12 pm

moolingwa

I've lived in three different democratic models now, they get incrementally better over time, but they are not perfect

4:13 pm

moolingwa

If you're interested Molly, there's a book called "The History of The American People", it's written by an English historian (I can get the name if interested)

4:14 pm

moolingwa

It describes a lot how the institutions were formed

4:14 pm

moolingwa

And how changes occurred over time

4:16 pm

moolingwa

You'll see that we're on a journey...

4:16 pm

Thinking of all the mistakes I made, glad I never hurt anyone else

4:59 pm

moolingwa

just terrible

4:59 pm

grannyrose

i really wish The big Guy would install 'pause' buttons on these kids.

4:59 pm

moolingwa

It's hard, when you're young you feel indestructible and think you know more than you do

5:00 pm

moolingwa

21 to go..

5:00 pm

grannyrose

yeah... then you get to 'mature' and are astonished how much your parents have learned.

5:01 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:01 pm

moolingwa

mind you, when you become a parent for the first time, you really find out how much you don't know

5:03 pm

grannyrose

boys maybe, i was the eldest of 5 with the twins born when i was 15. just who do you think was second mother?

5:04 pm

moolingwa

ah yes, well yeah I only had a sister who was 2 years younger than I

5:11 pm

grannyrose

my mother was left handed, i am righted, and she laughed and laughed when she realised i could handle my babies with either hand. for me right-hand nappy pin and left-hand nappy pin. completely ambidextrous.

5:14 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:14 pm

moolingwa

well, that's the S's done

5:16 pm

grannyrose

well do4 you. give me the thumbs up when you have waded thru the t's

moolingwa

5:18 pm

grannyrose

5:18 pm

grannyrose

5:25 pm

lil*monkey

I really can't taste any difference btween the Earl Grey and the Lady Grey tea.

5:25 pm

moolingwa

Lady Grey to me is much milder

5:25 pm

moolingwa

Earl Grey can be quite smoky sometimes

5:25 pm

lil*monkey

YOu mean the citrus flavor is milder?

5:26 pm

sammysmom

i am enjoying a big mug of earl grey also, to help me to calm down after this afternoon's shopping trip with my daughter and her daughter and her daughter and her doll.

5:26 pm

moolingwa

Hmm, I never did get citrus from it...will have to look for it next time

5:26 pm

lil*monkey

Earl Grey tea has oil of bergamot (orange) in it

5:27 pm

moolingwa

My little one is laying on the living room floor, she's been ill all day unfortunately :(

5:27 pm

moolingwa

Well you've taught me something new today monk, I appreciate that

5:27 pm

lil*monkey

no worries

5:27 pm

grannyrose

5:28 pm

lil*monkey

5:28 pm

grannyrose

5:29 pm

lil*monkey

Well I can't find any of the hi words

5:29 pm

moolingwa

Well we were all set to go down the library this morning

5:29 pm

moolingwa

5:29 pm

moolingwa

Should have known that things were off, she said she wasn't hungry when I made her breakfast

5:29 pm

lil*monkey

bleah!

5:29 pm

grannyrose

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

moolingwa

So instead you get my company on a saturday :)

5:31 pm

moolingwa

5:32 pm

moolingwa

5:32 pm

moolingwa

Will have to wait for her to wake up

5:33 pm

grannyrose

golden rule.... let sleeping dogs and babies lie...

5:34 pm

moolingwa

indeed

5:35 pm

grannyrose

poor little love. it is so difficult for them to articulate exactly what is going on.

5:36 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I asked her a few times this morning if she was feeling okay, should've trusted my instinct

5:37 pm

Lizlin

6:13 pm

grannyrose

6:13 pm

grannyrose

other ends okay?

6:13 pm

grannyrose

other ends okay?

6:13 pm

grannyrose

other ends okay?

6:14 pm

grannyrose

for goodness sake.... did waken a sleeping gremlin or something?

6:15 pm

moolingwa

yes, other end has been fine

6:18 pm

grannyrose

then it has to be upper GI tract or respiratory tract? checked out the back of her throat yet

6:18 pm

moolingwa

Looks okay from what I can see

6:20 pm

grannyrose

well something is making her ill. time for doctor i think...

6:20 pm

moolingwa

we'll probably wait until the morning, she seems to be relatively stable otherwise

6:22 pm

grannyrose

honey, little ones go down so fast, please discuss taking her soon. is she drinking anything>?

6:23 pm

moolingwa

yes, drinking water at the moment, have pedialyte and apple juice to offer as well

6:23 pm

moolingwa

she seems otherwise stable

6:25 pm

grannyrose

does the other half think she sleepier more than normal?

6:25 pm

moolingwa

No, she seems pretty alert, albeit nauseous

6:26 pm

moolingwa

My wife says that some of our friends have had something similar in the last couple of weeks

6:26 pm

moolingwa

so it's possible she's caught that

6:26 pm

grannyrose

hmmmm. just be very alert... after every vomit, about five minutes or so, make sure the rough equivalent is drunk,

6:27 pm

moolingwa

yeah, don't want her to get dehydrated

6:28 pm

grannyrose

and i would switch to the electrolytes very soon. you would be amazed at just how much actually gets thru the stomach before they vomit again.

6:31 pm

grannyrose

*shaking head* now i remember all the electrolyte icy poles i made. if a kid wont drink, they will do anything for a popsicle.

6:32 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, that's what I got too

6:32 pm

moolingwa

did a special run earlier

6:33 pm

grannyrose

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

penquis

7:59 pm

moolingwa

got them

8:00 pm

moolingwa

3 to go

8:01 pm

penquis

go, mool...

8:05 pm

moolingwa

you know...I often think "such and such" should be a word

8:05 pm

moolingwa

then I realize that wouldn't help me

8:05 pm

moolingwa

because I'd still be missing the other word

8:08 pm

penquis

yes, i have thought that, too...

8:11 pm

moolingwa

well I have two 6s and one 5 left

8:11 pm

moolingwa

a D (1st column) a T (2nd column) and an H

8:13 pm

penquis

well you are so close!

8:13 pm

moolingwa

yes...stagger, stagger

8:14 pm

penquis

are you using a list?

8:14 pm

moolingwa

no

8:14 pm

penquis

ah....i am sure stats would help...

8:14 pm

moolingwa

yes, no doubt

8:14 pm

moolingwa

I found the list made it too easy for me

8:14 pm

moolingwa

so I stopped using them some years back

8:15 pm

moolingwa

I even avoided chat

8:15 pm

penquis

i list when i get stumped, especially if i came back after a rest and was still stumped...

8:15 pm

moolingwa

because I would accidentally get clues, but now I don't bother so much with that aspect

8:15 pm

penquis

i often avoid chat...

8:16 pm

penquis

i close it off if someone starts spontaneously cluing...

8:16 pm

moolingwa

yeah

8:16 pm

moolingwa

some of the clues are a bit too obvious for my liking

8:16 pm

rururocks

I love posted clues

8:16 pm

moolingwa

normally the starting two letters and length are enough for me

8:16 pm

penquis

sure you do, ru....

8:16 pm

moolingwa

:)

8:17 pm

moolingwa

I don't mind giving clues to those who want them

8:17 pm

penquis

i do clue a lot...

8:17 pm

grannyrose

mool, how's the little 'un doing now?

8:17 pm

LeslieAnn

only 4.5 groans so far ru?

8:17 pm

moolingwa

she moved around a little bit, now trying to fall asleep

8:18 pm

rururocks

8:18 pm

grannyrose

okay......

8:18 pm

moolingwa

I am supposed to fly to New Jersey tomorrow, but may end up having to cancel

8:19 pm

moolingwa

8:20 pm

grannyrose

*giggling* but not really. you fly out and leave the other half to deal with a sick 5 year old..,,,mate, this planet ain't big enough.

8:21 pm

moolingwa

exactly

8:21 pm

moolingwa

I've already given them a heads up

8:22 pm

grannyrose

even if you are in the background making cooing noises...that's all you wife needs to hear

8:22 pm

moolingwa

I am much more hands on than that

8:23 pm

moolingwa

I'm the one that brushes her teeth every night, I give her her baths

8:23 pm
