12:24 am

sillybunny84

okay, I have to ask a really stupid question, because I've been trying to figure it out for months but still no idea ... what does nbt and nbs mean? I assume it's something to do with number of words found/to go but my brain won't work

12:24 am

Gillie

I don't I ever managed to call anything first before either (maybe once?).

12:24 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Gillie - sorry, that posting slipped through.

12:25 am

SamanthaJoy

Congratulations, then, Gillie. :)

12:25 am

5:28 am

ivesy3

Good morning all.

5:29 am

6:02 am

ivesy3

hmm sounds good.. still waiting to see if we are open

6:04 am

MollyL

Most things around here are closed, except the stupid Feds who called a three hour delay. Way to go Feds, force people out onto dangerous roads.

Got snow Peri?

6:56 am

bichon

We only have light snow so far, but by afternoon, it will be dreadful

7:01 am

MollyL

Yeah, we have the dreadful now. Just snow would be one thing, but we have icy stuff mixing in with it and wicked wind.

7:05 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

take care, Molly! My daughter and her boyfriend in Maine have a mountain of firewood ready to keep them toasty!

7:12 am

MollyL

*Passes Eva a cinnamon roll

7:13 am

EvaNadine

ooh, cinnamon roll!
::settles up to computer to work from home::

7:13 am

MollyL

Thanks Une. I don't venture out in this stuff. I leave that to the people who enjoy getting stuck and in accidents.

7:13 am

rubyfoo

How much snow are you expecting in the NE?

7:13 am

periwinkle

yes we have snow but not as much as was predicted

7:14 am

periwinkle

it is very windy

7:14 am

MollyL

We don't have as much as expected either. The real problem is icing and high winds.

7:14 am

doseffing

... paper here suggested 55 cm for NYC

7:15 am

rubyfoo

There was a photo on CNN yesterday of a beachfront house in NY covered with huge amounts if ice and icickles

7:15 am

EvaNadine

hubby whirlwind-tidied the garage last night, so my car is actually in there instead of parked on the street. yay!

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, many places expecting 2 feet!

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

back in a bit -- taking pups out to pee :-)

7:16 am

doseffing

... that's the price of a beautiful oceanfront lot

7:16 am

rubyfoo

That's what my sister (in NYC) said

7:17 am

72 Temple Owl

sleety freezing rain here

7:19 am

MollyL

My guess is that the benefits of owning an ocean front home far outweigh the "price"

7:20 am

rubyfoo

The house in the photo looked like a summer house

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

looked like the palace at yuratinm in dr zhivago

7:20 am

MollyL

Ah yes, I often forget about those people on the other side of the tracks who have "summer homes".

7:21 am

rubyfoo

Yes

7:21 am

rubyfoo

(to TO)

7:21 am

rubyfoo

amis

7:22 am

rubyfoo

sorry

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, just found the brunch cocktail. we could use cocktails this AM

7:24 am

rubyfoo

What's a brunch cocktail? Does it have an egg in it<?

7:25 am

doseffing

... orange juice and champaign

7:25 am

rubyfoo

I had that but was thinking of the stinky tree

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

they are the same

7:26 am

doseffing

... and who said words can have only one meaning

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

that tree would survive a nuclear blast.

7:28 am

JesDreher

Does anyone have the am7 by chance? I'm stuck.

7:28 am

MollyL

am + vowel + you are playing a game on a web....

7:29 am

JesDreher

thanks so much

7:31 am

MollyL

Mi6's, Bellinis, Champagne Cocktails and Irish Coffee for all! Belly up to the bar.

7:31 am

pabtrek

Hi everyone, especially my fellow western New Yorkers. That ice covered house is one Lake Ontario, about 45 miles north of me. I can't even imagine the damage done to it.

7:33 am

rubyfoo

Irish for me, pls

7:34 am

MollyL

Oh well, Lake Ontario. That explains a lot. That kind of damage is to be expected in areas like that. *Pours Ruby an Irish*

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i keep looking for mis words

7:34 am

MollyL

If anyone wants to see the house, do a Google search on "ice covered house lake ontario"

7:34 am

rubyfoo

"Lake effect storm"

7:35 am

doseffing

... got three ... but none is actually a compound "mis' word

7:35 am

pabtrek

We had some very high winds last week and it whipped the lake into a frenzy.

7:37 am

sandr

just googled the house, it reminds me slightly of christmas cake icing

7:37 am

sandr

how come the next door neighbours is fine?

7:38 am

doseffing

... I think it's something like trees blocking the spray off the lake

7:39 am

sandr

i've just notice the back window isn't covered in ice, a small consolation!!!

7:40 am

doseffing

... just means that someone is inside and had the heat on

7:40 am

72 Temple Owl

debating whether to crank up the heat just in case.

7:41 am

doseffing

... did that yesterday ... may do it some more today ... it's cold outside

7:41 am

sandr

1 degree would make a whole lot of difference.

7:41 am

sandr

gotta go guys, l8r's

7:41 am

72 Temple Owl

would need more to protect in power failure

7:44 am

doseffing

... that is a major difficulty ... you can last one night with a good duvet ... but after that and it's a week in a hotel ...

7:45 am

bichon

If you have a dog, put it under the duvet with you. Much warmer, and it won't suffocate

7:49 am

bichon

And, wear a hat.

7:50 am

72 Temple Owl

remime. as if once was not bad emough.

7:51 am

MollyL

One is plenty bad enough : D

7:52 am

EvaNadine

hints for Y words?

7:53 am

bichon

yo 4/5, prostitute

7:53 am

bichon

sorry yo 4/6

7:53 am

MollyL

I think it actually means female genitals in Hindu

7:54 am

MollyL

yo6 is yo + most of what TO just mentioned. Sounds like a Hebrew word

7:54 am

MollyL

Sorry, yo5

7:55 am

EvaNadine

TY - grayed that tile!

7:55 am

bichon

Right you are Molly, my bad

7:55 am

bichon

what is the third y

7:55 am

EvaNadine

bich - make yours plural

7:56 am

bichon

have that, need the third one

7:57 am

MollyL

Clued at 7:54

7:58 am

bichon

It is a Hebrew word meaning days

7:59 am

MollyL

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the yo5 of our lives

8:00 am

72 Temple Owl

how are you feeling today, evaN?

8:02 am

EvaNadine

feeling almost back to healthy (with the exception of being sleepy thanks to lil man).
i get to work from home today, thanks to the snow, and ive got the hubs, the baby, the doggo + a friend all here with me.
yay snow day!

8:03 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, glad to hear you are all on the mend

8:04 am

EvaNadine

its about time, isnt it?!
baby K still has a wee bit of a cough, but he is SO MUCH BETTER than he has been in weeks!

8:05 am

72 Temple Owl

just found sa7. as if mi4/6 is not bad enough, mi4/6 accompanied by sa732!

8:06 am

EvaNadine

::goes looking for SA7::

8:06 am

Buttonman

Morning all, could someone please clue me the am 7?

8:09 am

72 Temple Owl

going to wash up and make some breakfast. no gym today1

8:10 am

Buttonman

8:12 am

ursh

8:13 am

Buttonman

8:24 am

Judi

Good morning, all! Uhg. We've been victimized by the dreaded "wintery mix".

8:29 am

MollyL

*Passes Judi an Irish Coffee

8:30 am

MLFAN17

ty for am7

8:31 am

Judi

Ty, Molls. At least I don't have to go to work today. Seems like the whole state is shut down because everything is iced over.

8:32 am

MollyL

Meh, I had to take a day of leave as my employer is too cheap to pay for snow days off, but I operate on the "better safe than sorry" method

8:33 am

Judi

Yeah. Technically, I only get a 1/2 day paid. The rest is on me. Sucks.

8:36 am

EvaNadine

we were actually permitted to work from home today.
but the downside to that is that, since its actually not a busy day today, we have to find/make work for ourselves so we look like we had a full day of work to do.

8:37 am

MollyL

It seems many employers would rather that you risk life, limb and your car to get to work in weather like this.

8:37 am

MLFAN17

hello all

8:37 am

MLFAN17

c stats pls?

Best story of the storm: a homeless man who was interviewed early this morning (he was turned out of a shelter because they only keep people overnight) has been offered a hotel room for tonight and help finding a job. There ARE good people out there.

9:24 am

JBsAnno

Forecast is for anywhere between 8-14 inches. We are right on the line between, so getting a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Blowing sideways, too, this is nasty weather to be outside.

9:26 am

mkg

JB where are you ?

hi owl

9:33 am

JBsAnno

I love the musicals and movie music that I grew up with - My Fair Lady, South Pacific, The Music Man, Wizard of Oz, so many greats.

9:33 am

JBsAnno

Morning, TO! Are you traipsing about today? (hah, she said, tongue firmly in cheek)

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

not likely. doing taxes

9:36 am

JBsAnno

I watching all the "intrepid" and "brave" reporters out in the storm telling us not to go out in this weather, it's dangerous, treacherous, not safe...then what are THEY doing out?

9:36 am

MLFAN17

jb I agree, such awesome music

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

it

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

it's getting ridiculous. if channel 10 tells us one more time how fluid the situation is, and that they told us so so they did not flub the forecast...

9:37 am

MollyL

There was a reporter in a SUV driving around on local highways who almost wiped out right when he was reporting.

9:37 am

MLFAN17

jb I don't understand why weather reporters do the weather standing outside sometimes? and if you don't know your weather is band and you need to see someone reporting it from outside their is something wrong with you lol

9:38 am

MLFAN17

molly nic

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

they replayed the steve keeley snowplow wipeout this AM

9:38 am

MLFAN17

nice

9:38 am

MollyL

I've also seen reporters standing on the side of the road almost get hit by skidding cars.

9:38 am

MLFAN17

stay off the roads..while reporters are filming cars going by on major highways

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

flooding at the shore is bad. of course, if your home is still gutted due to sandy makes no difference

9:39 am

MLFAN17

molly isn't that ridiculous?

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

time to start taxes so i can nap. sleet woke me up at 4

9:39 am

JBsAnno

Tori on CBS just wiped out on a snowboard in Manyunk...

9:40 am

MLFAN17

rain woke me up

9:40 am

MollyL

What is ridiculous is the people being interviewed who are "just out driving around in the snow". Or "going to Dunkin Donuts". Seriously?

9:40 am

MLFAN17

on a snowboard?

9:40 am

MLFAN17

yeah I want to be interviewed in weather like this and after floods too.. NOT

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

i did not see any of those today. all were snowplowers and municipal workers.

9:42 am

JBsAnno

Yeah, bunch of kids are boarding in the street, she tried it, needs lessons.

9:42 am

MLFAN17

made it to 100 words

9:42 am

MLFAN17

jb what is wrong with people??lol

9:43 am

JBsAnno

Right, Molly! a couple they interviewed drove 2 blocks to Wawa (PA's version of 7-11) for hot chocolate.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i so want to use the sion ending

9:44 am

MLFAN17

jb sounds good

9:45 am

periwinkle

hi all. help with os8 pls

9:45 am

JBsAnno

TO - best to you on working on your taxes. My only fluid situation that concerns me is whether to have more tea or switch to hot chocolate now

9:45 am

MollyL

There is a lovely woman in Thurmont, MD who closed her restaurant to the public today but it was open for plow drivers, police, firemen and utility workers.

JBsAnno

MLFAN17

9:48 am

Judi

*comes up for air* Whew! Time for a break. 89 left.

9:48 am

Scrabbler

No, the Indian Reservation Clinic closed down and my office is calm for now, so I get to stay home.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

we FINALLY have heavy snow, after at least 9 hours of sleet

9:49 am

JBsAnno

DON'T go out!! DANGER! Stay off the roads! but the King of Prussia mall is open...

9:49 am

MLFAN17

judi is doing better then I am

9:49 am

Scrabbler

On of my former patients works at CHOP--the Fetal Surgery Center.

9:49 am

MLFAN17

9 hours of sleet?

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

well they'd have to be giving stuff away at nordstrom, with free lunch at maggios, for me to even think about going

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

something that makes noise, i assume sleet

9:51 am

JBsAnno

I support 5 neonatologists, Scrabs, I know of the Fetal Surgery center, but CHOP is so big, I barely know anyone outside my division.

9:51 am

MLFAN17

owl oh

9:51 am

bichon

One can always shop on line

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

well jb perhaps i will see you at the copa. i LOVE the copa

9:51 am

MollyL

os8 refers to procedures that create an artificial opening for waste

9:51 am

Scrabbler

One of my patients, as a fetus, was evaluated at CHOP.

9:51 am

MLFAN17

Maggio's is nice but not cheap

9:51 am

periwinkle

found os8. it is a pl. if a patient has colon or part of intestines removed they often get one

9:52 am

Scrabbler

I interviewed at CHOP for my pediatric residency--such an impressive place. And I went to St Christopher's the next day and I know they built a new hospital.

9:52 am

JBsAnno

ty, Molly, up to 31 now. More interested in chog than grid right now

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I agree, JB.

9:53 am

JBsAnno

So residency at St Chris?

9:53 am

Scrabbler

JB, where does your husband work?

9:53 am

MLFAN17

isn't that colectomy?

9:54 am

Scrabbler

No, Children's Hospital of Buffalo. I grew up here.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

os8 = plural and a general term for the hole made.

9:54 am

JBsAnno

I love working at CHOP, but it is a behemoth of a hospital and company. It's the biggest place I've ever worked at.

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

oh wow, brunch food to go with the brunch cocktail!

9:55 am

JBsAnno

Scrabs, hubby now works for city of Philadelphia in the

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I remember the McDonald's in the lobby, and that turned me off.

9:56 am

JBsAnno

dept of health. He is a physician advisor for CBH, which manages the mental health support services for Medicare clients.

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

srabbler, they built ronald mcdonald house. i imagine they could have a statue of him in the lobby if they wanted.

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Is he happy doing that?

9:56 am

JBsAnno

Oh, McD's is long gone from there, it's a CVS pharmacy now.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

I will be back...

9:57 am

Scrabbler

I read somewhere that McD's was gone--it just wasn't proper to sell that food in a hospital.

9:58 am

JBsAnno

Yes, but not liking being on call, even though he can do it from home. Thankfully it's not often. He's done 50 calls since Friday night. He can work from home today, and is much busier than me right now.

9:58 am

JBsAnno

Later, MLFAN!

9:58 am

Scrabbler

I used to go to a CHOP summer pediatric program every summer in Cooperstown for 3 days.

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

see you, fan

9:59 am

JBsAnno

True, Scrabs, the cafeteria has lots of healthy options now, and the closest fast food is at least 3 blocks away.

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, now we have blizzard like snow but i hear rain/sleet as well.

9:59 am

Scrabbler

On call sucks--being held hostage. Patients do not respect us and do not understand what can wait until the office is open or what a true emergency is.

10:00 am

Scrabbler

Patrick Pasquariello ran the program and I read in our AAP journal that he died in the last year or so. All of the docs presented great talks.

10:00 am

JBsAnno

Changing up here, too, TO, snow is already covering the street 5 minutes after the plow came by.

10:01 am

bichon

Marco, my Bichon, refuses to poop if it's snowing

10:01 am

JBsAnno

Don't get to see residents anymore, Scrabs, we do have them rotating through the NICU, but they don't come into the admin office. We have 12 fellows, though, and they are always busy!

10:01 am

Scrabbler

Poor MArco.

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

an inch and the driveway was cleared about half an hour ago

10:02 am

JBsAnno

LOL, bich, keep feeding Marco and nature will eventually win out!

10:02 am

bichon

Extremely spoiled dog

10:03 am

Scrabbler

I taught Kevin Osterhoudt when he was a med student here and he did his residency at CHOP and is an attending there.

10:03 am

Scrabbler

So where does he poop, bichon?

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

jb do you have sleet?

10:04 am

JBsAnno

Don't know the name, Scrabs, since I don't work in med ed anymore, but I'll look him up when back at work

10:04 am

JBsAnno

Still a mix, TO, but more snow now. Visibility much more limited now from 15 min ago.

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

getting windy.

10:06 am

JBsAnno

Ha, Scrabs, always concerned about the ins and outs!

10:06 am

Scrabbler

I don't want a constipated dog.

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

NOBODY wants a constipated dog!

10:07 am

JBsAnno

There's always os8 as an option...

10:07 am

bichon

Not constipated, just doesn't want to put his tush near the snow

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

my friend had to pick up his dog and bring it to its spot when it snowed!

10:08 am

bichon

My dog wears a blue snowsuit. That's so we can find him in the snow as he is white

10:09 am

JBsAnno

Don't blame him, bich! I remember how long it took to warm up after an afternoon of sledding, cold tushy is no fun :)

10:10 am

Scrabbler

Rabbits can die if they stop pooping because they are cecal digesters. Instead of constipation it is called GI stasis--their gut just stops moving. So they stop eating, stop pooping, develop abdominal pain, get lethargic, and can die in hours to a few days.

10:11 am

JBsAnno

Aw, poor bunnies.

10:11 am

JBsAnno

LOL, bich, blue snowsuit. Pic?

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Yes, so uneducated rabbit owners will find a dead bunny and say that their bunny had stopped eating and had become inactive.

10:13 am

Trifioso

hello friends

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hi trif.

10:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Trif! How is your weather?

10:14 am

JBsAnno

Watching people drive through flooded streets in Atlantic City. It's high tide now. Why do people think their car is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Do they have a dashboard button that floats their car?

10:14 am

JBsAnno

Trif, hello!

10:15 am

bichon

JB, send your email to me at muffinbiscuit@gmail.com and I will send you a picture

10:15 am

Ooh, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Another fun musical movie

10:17 am

10:17 am

JBsAnno

oh, bich, it's just jbsanno at gmail dot com, thanks! I have to go make bread pudding, too much bread to eat. Going to share with the office tomorrow.

10:17 am

bichon

10:18 am

Trifioso

10:18 am

Trifioso

sota

10:18 am

Trifioso

oops sorry

10:19 am

Scrabbler

At 1pm I am doing a 30 min video interview for a college. It is a research project that someone is doing with rabbit owners. I saw the request on the House Rabbit Society website.

10:20 am

Trifioso

wow, scrabbler, you are a woman of many talents!

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I emailed the woman, received a phone call, and voila.

10:21 am

bichon

Scrabs, do you have time for anything else?

10:21 am

Trifioso

scrabs fits more into her days than anyone I have ever met!

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I offered to do it on my afternoon off. Then I will complete an art project order.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Except--I don't know how to use my webcam.

10:24 am

bichon

What kind of computer do you have? I have a Lenovo and it's very easy

10:24 am

bichon

You can buy a web cam

10:24 am

Scrabbler

I have a webcam on here but I don't know how to turn it on.

10:25 am

bichon

Can you google the instructions?

10:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I need to do that.

10:28 am

MollyL

Skype might be easier

10:29 am

moolingwa

facebook also has a video call option now

10:30 am

Scrabbler

I was given a link to connect with the interviewer. So maybe the videocam will work automatically.

10:30 am

moolingwa

Is it cisco webmeeting scrab?

10:31 am

Scrabbler

The link has zoom in it.

10:31 am

Trifioso

sorry - is the I in the middle column a science-y one?

10:31 am

moolingwa

ah, not familiar with that one

10:31 am

Scrabbler

I'll figure it out later. Let's Babble.

What course?

10:44 am

bichon

to 5/16, pls

10:45 am

Trifioso

I'm getting my masters in education. The class I am taking now is classroom management. It's an ENORMOUS amount of work, but key to success - if I can't manage a class, I am TOAST

10:46 am

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Good class, Trif, but there are SO many feral kids out there that managing them is such a challenge.

10:50 am

Trifioso

indeed. I feel quite discouraged. I have learned that there is NO WAY to teach a child that is hungry. DeVos and her minions are filing all sorts of legislation to cut food for students. I want to dry.

10:50 am

Trifioso

cry

10:53 am

bichon

This country is going to be broken very soon.

10:54 am

There are so many sad, lonely, angry, hungry, undisciplined kids out there,
