is there anyone here?

1:37 am

ursh

i am here - hello rose

1:38 am

grannyrose

cooee urshy. how are you honey?

1:39 am

ursh

besides a nasty dose of pink eye - all good thanks ?

1:39 am

ursh

you?

1:39 am

grannyrose

ewww, yuch. you poor thing.

1:40 am

grannyrose

urshy, jumping outta my skin. after all this time, i am coming back to "me"

1:41 am

ursh

I am intrigued with your back injections/infusions. DH has had two back ops - lower back and still has a huge amount of pain - should he be enquiring after infusions ??

1:42 am

grannyrose

the other day i was ploughing on, steeping it out. and from behind me a plaintive voice called... rose, can you please slow done.poor DH had trouble keeping up with me.

1:43 am

grannyrose

urshy, your hubby needs to be looking for a specialist in chronic pain. usually an anaesthetist.

1:43 am

grannyrose

my pain doc. 'burned' six nerves in my lower back.

1:45 am

grannyrose

also, check out the new treatment for degenerative spinal damage. it is injections of stuff which sets hard and fuses the bones together.

1:46 am

ursh

oh ok will pass the idea on to him - poor thing has also just completed radiation therapy to bladder/prostate and that knocked the stuffing out of him - he had fusion in May 2015 which failed and redid (different doc) in Dec 2015 but since radiation his back pain is worse than ever

1:47 am

grannyrose

if you would prefer, please email me and we can chat about options there.

1:47 am

ursh

OK thanks

1:49 am

grannyrose

was going to ask more questions but save them for email. xoxox

2:23 am

sprite

good morning all

2:36 am

grannyrose

yahoo!! hugs and kisses my darling.

2:36 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. How was your day?

2:37 am

sprite

v ire

2:38 am

sprite

sorry about that. I am trying for virile but seems a bit flaccid today...

2:41 am

grannyrose

went out for lunch together, and bought the ingredients for Dublin Coddle. a sort of soup/stew which i am making for St P:atrick's Day lunch.

2:42 am

grannyrose

but how are you sweetie?

2:42 am

sprite

sounds great. Love to see how active you still are. Makes me happy to know the treatment is finally working as it should.

2:43 am

grannyrose

i was late here 'cos i was emailing urshy. her DH has chron ic back pain.

2:44 am

sprite

I am okay. Still tired. But today all I have to do is go vote and walk Terra. And I can combine that. Had a very good session with Noud again, things are getting clearer all the time.

2:44 am

grannyrose

AND NOW IT IS 75 SLEEPS....

2:44 am

grannyrose

yeah, we saw a report of the voting situation over there.

2:44 am

sprite

I saw the end of that convo in chog. *healing vibes to her DH and strongly supporting vibes to ursh*

2:45 am

sprite

I am worried sick about it, rose. Quite scared that the ultra rightwing racist nutjob will win, as the one in the US did. If so, I guess we will emigrate and come live with you and Don ;)

2:46 am

grannyrose

nice thought, dearest. will support you all, anyway we can.

2:47 am

sprite

hehehe :) If we had to, we could make it work, I am sure. But for now, the best I can do is go vote. May enough dutch people see the need to vote, so we can counter the racists.

2:48 am

grannyrose

prayers for your country...

2:48 am

sprite

thanks, hun. We need it. This world does not need all those radical crazies in power.

2:48 am

grannyrose

mind you, we have enough land to build you a separate home on half of our land

2:49 am

sprite

wow. Rob could build it :)

2:50 am

grannyrose

see???

2:50 am

grannyrose

and himself would help him... but not before my kitchen... loll

2:51 am

sprite

:) Would tell Rob to help do your kitchen first!

2:52 am

grannyrose

*ear-to-ear cheese*

2:52 am

sprite

I think the biggest issue would be to find Rob a job there. All the rest would be fixable, lol.

2:52 am

grannyrose

lots of work over here.

2:54 am

sprite

Rob is 59 yo, a very good carpenter and a good personnnel officer in building company related areas. But his knowledge of law and regulations is of course dutch.

2:57 am

grannyrose

a lot of our congtractors would snap him up in an in stant.

2:58 am

sprite

well, I am not saying we will not consider it. A Netherlands under Wilders is not really a place I want to live in. He scares me shitless with his hitlerian traits.

2:59 am

grannyrose

i know honey. stand firm sweetie... both of you.

2:59 am

sprite

but for now... I will go vote and hope many other people who normally don't care either way will go vote too.

3:01 am

sprite

we will :) Compared to many other world issues, this one is minor. Things may even sizzle out yet. I hope the storm in the US will not be as bad as they expect. Has it hit yet?

3:04 am

grannyrose

who knows!!! the media have just got a hold of the president's old tax return.

3:04 am

sprite

nice! Is it revealing?

3:09 am

grannyrose

it shows a man who has paid all taxes as dereed by his government.

3:09 am

sprite

fi4flies. Not a bad grid, some unexpected words. Nice.

3:09 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:09 am

sprite

very good. That is a nice thing to see, isn't it?

3:10 am

grannyrose

i hope so...

3:10 am

sprite

guess I will walk Terra to the voting place and we will make a tiny difference in today's outcome. *hugs* and lots of love, honey. To you and Don both. And an extra hug for you, of course.

3:12 am

grannyrose

xoxox my dearest.

I was only thinking puzzle archives would be great the other day!

5:05 am

MollyL

Just a reminder. When you post many, many letters
with no space or period. It blows the chat
width.

5:07 am

sukee

Good morning all.

5:22 am

MollyL

If you look at the archive page, there have been archives
since the beginning of the game. It is not a way you can go
back and work old puzzles, just a recap of the puzzle, the
stats for players for that day and the chat.

5:24 am

sukee

Halfway and nbt.

5:40 am

sukee

Wind is blowing here,sounds like the Antarctic.

5:42 am

MollyL

We had big wind yesterday. Combined with heavy icy
snow it took down many tree limbs and power lines.

5:42 am

sukee

Thankfully we didn't get as much snow as they said we might.

5:43 am

sukee

"North winds doth blow, and we shall have snow"

5:45 am

The daffs are opening today; I think winter is officially over!!

6:05 am

Why is the chog messed up?

6:05 am

MollyL

*Looks out at the ice and snow
and wishes she could say something
similar

6:05 am

Scrabbler

12F here and schools are closed again due to the snowstorm. About 8 inches ofsnow here.

6:05 am

The chat is messed up
because someone posted a bunch of
EEEEEE's

I'm not sure anything is flying
in and out of here today

You needs to cuddle bunnies!!

6:07 am

rubyfoo

need*

6:08 am

rubyfoo

I needs to type correctly

6:08 am

MollyL

I'm surprised 8 inches closes things up
that way. I thought that area was used to
a lot of snow.

6:09 am

Scrabbler

This storm is nothing for us but the governor declared a state of emergency for the state and closed the major highways.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

When I was a teacher in Binghamton, 6" would

6:09 am

rubyfoo

close the schools because of the

6:09 am

rubyfoo

surrounding hills

6:10 am

Scrabbler

15-18 inches over 2 days is typical winter here and not a problem.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. I need to haul out trash and recyceable totes today.

6:14 am

MollyL

The danger around here in weather
like this is the abundance of people
who don't know how to drive in it.

6:29 am

bichon

I'm not going anywhere today, solid ice

6:34 am

rubyfoo

How much snow did you get, Bichon?

6:34 am

I feel sorry for my sister in NY. I'm sure she's sttuck in the house

Is there a way to change my player name from all caps to lower case?

6:42 am

MollyL

Email Dr. God. dr.god@playbabble.com. Don't forget the DOT between dr and god.

6:46 am

MRSWHISKI2

thank you Molly...I'll try that. All those caps seem a little pretentious to me!

6:50 am

8:20 am

wvteach

we got missed by most of the snow we were supposed to have gotten - but this morning it is bitter cold and windy - didn't have to go out to the activity scheduled (that was cancelled)

8:23 am

wvteach

we got about 2 inches but the county just to the east - that is up in the mountains got 12 +

8:26 am

Judi

Hubby attempted to go out in the front yard after the precip. stopped. However, it was so windy that ice was blowing off the trees. He came back in after being pelted with painful chunks.

8:26 am

bichon

We got a foot, then came the icy rain and sleet

8:26 am

doseffing

... south shore of Lake Ontario Hamilton, BUffalo, Rochester) got hit but not as hard as they usually get hit ... north shore just got slight flurries (not the 25cm we were supposed to get) but it's gotten cold (-10C) and it is refusing to warm up ... not nice when the last week of winter is the coldest of the season

8:27 am

Judi

Hope it warms up soon so all this crap melts.

mlf, tr4/7 + note to follow me

10:05 am

bichon

tyvm sue

10:05 am

MLFAN17

note to follow me?

10:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Now the tr4/7 that has to do with music is maddening me. I don't even see a combination of letters that makes that possible (that I haven't already tried)

10:06 am

MLFAN17

its a note same

10:06 am

bichon

tr 4/7 is a Yiddish word for pork

10:06 am

MLFAN17

music

10:07 am

SamanthaJoy

OK, I just went and looked. There is only one tr 4/7. It's just that you're using a definition that neither I nor dictionary.com knows.

10:08 am

SamanthaJoy

(Which doesn't mean I'm saying you're wrong! The dictionary and I have our limits!)

10:08 am

bichon

tu 4/5 has to do with music

10:09 am

SamanthaJoy

That seems fishy. ;)

10:10 am

MLFAN17

forget I said that , the word is a jewish word tr4 that I have

10:11 am

MLFAN17

but still doesn't tell me about the words that were asked for by others

10:11 am

bichon

what do you need fan?

10:12 am

SamanthaJoy

The tr6 builds off the tr4, but in a non traditional way

10:12 am

MLFAN17

tr 6/30

10:13 am

SamanthaJoy

If the clue didn't help then I really got nothing else but "start tacking on letters until you get it". Sorry. But there aren't *that* many combinations either.

10:13 am

bichon

tr 6/30 is a two letter extension of the 4/7

10:13 am

MLFAN17

thanks samantha

10:14 am

SamanthaJoy

You're welcome. Though it feels like I just flailed around until you got it on your own. :D

10:16 am

SamanthaJoy

32 words left and a brick wall. I'm listing. If I don't surface again in five minutes, throw in a life ring.

*splash*

10:20 am

robwhy

tr6/30---really 30 points?

10:20 am

Judi

Really.

10:22 am

robwhy

even with the z I don't see how you get there. blind

10:22 am

robwhy

is there more than one tr 4/7?

10:23 am

SamanthaJoy

You're forgetting the multiplier. It doesn't use the Z, that would be massively more points.

10:23 am

mattygroves

Don't use the z

10:23 am

SamanthaJoy

No, just one tr 4/7

10:23 am

robwhy

what is the multiplier? you don't just add the numbers on the letter?

10:23 am

SamanthaJoy

Four letter words just have their points. Five letter words have their points doubled, six letter words have their points trebled.

10:24 am

robwhy

been playing for years and never knew that

10:24 am

SamanthaJoy

So to get tr6/30, you want a tr whose point values add up to 10 points.

10:25 am

SamanthaJoy

You're probably better than I am then; I need that sort of thing to help me finish! :D

10:26 am

Judi

I'm missing a Sh5/12 - after the wheat bundle.

10:26 am

SamanthaJoy

sh + walking trees from LoTR

10:26 am

car.eeyore

10:27 am

Judi

Have that one, car.

10:27 am

car.eeyore

more timid?

10:27 am

aslindy

I'm less likely to post because I am sh*** than you are

10:27 am

Judi

Have that one too.

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

The place the hobbits lived? What I typically wear on my upper body?

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

(Those are two separate words)

10:29 am

Judi

Crud. Never mind. Had it all along. Now need a clue for the Si6/33.

10:29 am

car.eeyore

LOL

10:29 am

Judi

Just found the Si6 too.

10:30 am

car.eeyore

Anything else "we" can help with?!?!? :p

10:30 am

Judi

LOL! Yeah, just shoot me.

10:31 am

Judi

Never could get through Lord of The Rings.

10:31 am

car.eeyore

too many characters for me

10:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Don't tell anyone, but I think they're terrible books.

10:31 am

moolingwa

heh

10:31 am

car.eeyore

I get so confused

10:32 am

car.eeyore

I tried to read them, I really did....

10:32 am

moolingwa

Well I certainly loved them...but I've yet to find books that are universally appealing

10:32 am

moolingwa

Took me months to read Moby Dick, can't imagine why anyone really would enjoy it

10:32 am

Judi

Yes. Too many unpronounceable names and a multitude of creatures. Too much to keep track of.

10:33 am

Judi

Never even took a stab a Moby Dick (pun intended).

10:33 am

car.eeyore

I kept flipping back and got so mixed up

10:33 am

car.eeyore

tee hee

10:33 am

moolingwa

I now recommend it to anyone who suffers from insomnia

10:33 am

aslindy

I get confused by names that are too similar - like Sauron and Saruman

10:34 am

moolingwa

Yes, unfamiliar names can be challenging...I find the same when reading foreign language book sometimes

10:35 am

SamanthaJoy

FW. Anyone want clues before I go start my day?

10:35 am

car.eeyore

Well done!

10:35 am

moolingwa

Although I must admit I sometimes get confused with more common anglo names in books too...especially at the beginning if there are a lot of characters

10:35 am

Judi

Th6/24?

10:36 am

SamanthaJoy

What the th6/21 believes

10:36 am

SamanthaJoy

Or the *other* th 6/24, which is a pl of the th5 above it

10:38 am

aslindy

I always forget that an6,21 is a word, and am surprised when it works

10:38 am

Judi

We had a tough 6 months; DH kept getting urine infections & when he gets sick & has fevers his MS symptoms flare up & his nerves don't communicate; so he was in & out of the hospital 5 or 6 times; but he had prostate surgery Feb 11th & he's doing much better now. (his prostate wasn't the problem; but it did make caring for himself more of a problem.

9:34 pm

Nef

Hi ori. How are you doing tonight?

9:34 pm

redshoes

Awwwwww, Nef, I hate to hear that.

9:36 pm

When he gets sick; it's a worry & a lot of stress for me. I've gained back the 15 lbs. I worked so hard losing last year. :-?

I gained near 40 lbs when my sis passed away 4 yrs ago. I've been working to get back in shape. My mom passed away at the beginning of February. Weight gain obviously isn't my biggest concern, but it does come to mind (she says as she scarfs down Cadbury Mini Eggs).
