Thanks, Peach

12:34 am

sandyloo

is that mo word a normal word?

12:34 am

flosey

monkeyed it but have never heard it

12:35 am

sandyloo

ah thanks flosey

12:36 am

SamanthaJoy

It's a part of a 7/8/9 combo, if that helps.

12:38 am

Lizlin

I have mo 7/8 but not the 9 :(

12:38 am

sandyloo

thanks sam , I will find it I am sure

12:39 am

Lizlin

OK - got it.

12:39 am

SamanthaJoy

Then you probably have not found the common suffix in the top right corner yet. It's a dense grid to be sure.

12:39 am

Lizlin

Had temporarily forgotten about that suffix.

12:40 am

Lizlin

perhaps because I'd normally have spelt the base word with a different final consonant.

12:40 am

SamanthaJoy

Me too. I think maybe that's a Brit/American spelling thing? I'm not sure.

12:41 am

sandyloo

got it - never heard of that word

12:41 am

Lizlin

I'm a Brit - but I'd still have spelt it differently.

12:41 am

Lizlin

A type of lock, Sandy.

12:41 am

Lizlin

Ooops - probably shouldn't have said that.

12:41 am

sandyloo

I thought it sounded like a type of death lol

12:42 am

Lizlin

:)

12:42 am

sandyloo

oops I probably shouldn't have said that either

1:05 am

sandyloo

Hey Sprite, Have you finished yet?

1:05 am

Lizlin

It will be nice. It's all part of trying to find a way of using a part of our garden which is pretty unusable at the moment - steeply sloped.

No. Was totally outraged.

1:16 am

Lizlin

How can there be another 100 words?

1:16 am

sprite

it's definitely a tight grid for one so big

1:17 am

Lizlin

I must've worn that gerund suffix out!

1:17 am

sprite

bichon - got him to a pediatric pulmonologist yesterday.
turnsout he has infant asthma, which, thankfully, is not the lifelong sentence that regular asthma is.
just took his prescriptions to the pharmacy + doc thinks he should be better in no time!

12:28 pm

SamanthaJoy

What great news! I've never heard of infant asthma before

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

getting a chest xray for an infant was.....an adventure!

12:29 pm

mael

that's wonderful, Eva!

12:30 pm

EvaNadine

he agreed with the ped that it would probably eventually go away on its own, but i dont want my little man suffering any longer if there is actually something we can DO about it.
alas, even with the insurance, the meds are kinda expensive, so i really hope this is a one-time thing!

12:37 pm

I'm done. Any clues needed before I leave?

Just off to bed. Peri. it is Bi 5/18...The DEF : a round, flat, leavened, soft roll made of white flour, having a crusty bottom and a depression at the center that is typically filled with an onion and poppy seed mixture.

5:10 pm

They sell them in bakeries that specialize in Jewish pastries like rugelach and knishes.

Googled the bi 5 - looks like a platzel to me

6:04 pm

Lizlin

But they're yummy.

6:05 pm

rururocks

they are the BEST

6:05 pm

rururocks

fattening though..

6:05 pm

Lizlin

So is there a difference between a bi5 and a platzel?

6:05 pm

periwinkle

anything yummy is always fattening

6:06 pm

periwinkle

never heard of a platzel

6:06 pm

Lizlin

Perhaps that's what they're called in the UK.

6:06 pm

is it an onion roll?

Yes with some poppy seed. The images look similar.

6:08 pm

can I have some hummus with those mollY?

6:15 pm

MollyL

I seriously doubt that Ru. And it is just okay to indulge in something tasty now and again, even if you are trying to eat healthier.

6:16 pm

MollyL

I have tried so hard to get into hummus. However it still tastes like seasoned drywall paste to me.

6:17 pm

periwinkle

there are different kinds of hummus. I like the roasted garlic

6:18 pm

rururocks

i like the roasted red pepper ones

6:27 pm

rururocks

i don't eat a lot of hummus though.. there've been a lot of recalls with food poisoning issues with them out here

6:28 pm

seasoned dry wall paste.. hmmm sounds delish

1 or 2 chorizo - peel, cut into v. small pieces, shallow fry in a little olive oil for 5 minutes...spread over a small mountain of hummus and serve with flat bread. People go mad for it.

6:37 pm

esp nice if you can make the bread yourself

As DrG doesn't mnake any $ from this game, I understand he is unwilling to change anything...we are stuck with an outdated version of Enable

7:12 pm

The game only accepts words from a particular version of the Enable Dictionary. There are loads of omissions and some very odd inclusions. I guess you'd have to contact the publishers of Enable!

7:13 pm

I don't know if I will or not, but 5 years later I still get them periodically. No rhyme or reason i can find (and I've kept track of several possible factors). They throb at the aneurysm site in the left back/base of my head, so it makes me think it's somehow blocking a little and pulses with my heartbeat. Then I get kinda "stupid" I call it, and think slowly and get fatigued. Neurosurgeon says I'm "cured" so the headaches are a crappy side effect, but I get to live so, fair trade lol

I've joined a few online support groups and headaches are a common thing, whether unruptured (like me) or ruptured (usually ruptured are far worse, but sometimes they get lucky).

Yes, you are lucky indeed! I think that your story was tough to read for me because I've seen so many who weren't slouchy over the years.

I spent most of my professional work life working in CV ICU (a total of 34 years in ICU); but we'd get overflow patients when the other ICU was full or the patient was extremely complicated.

Yes, they aren't to be fooled around with when lucky enough to be discovered ahead of time. Lots of good survivor stories I've run across though! I am certainly grateful for all my blessings - mine, had it ruptured, they said would've killed me before an ambulance could arrive. It was the size of a red globe grape - most aren't so large! And it's in my left vertebral artery, at the basilar junction (I don't have a right vertebral, either born that way or because the aneurysm caused it to atrophy).

(& I meant "so Lucky" - not "slouchy"in that previous post)

I spent 4 nights in ICU after my first surgery, and my favorite nurse I had came and held my hand after my husband went back to the hotel for some sleep and I was having an episode of nystagmus that scared me to pieces!

11:13 pm

Nef

WOW!

11:14 pm

Nef

That was a huge aneurysm! and then not having a right vertibral artery is different too.

11:15 pm

Some nurses are worth their weight in gold ;) I had another that I'll always remember that finally listened to me, after three awful angiograms, and figured out I'm allergic to Fentanyl (gives me bad nausea/vomiting). I had the pleasure of seeing him again the next time around some months later and thanking him for listening to me and fixing my problems with the meds!

11:15 pm

firefly779

Yes, I'm a special case lol

11:17 pm

Nef

Nystagmus is crazy. I can't imagine how horrid that would be mohave it. My hubby has MS; and the docs (& I) can cause it by having him glance quickly to the side; but he doesn't seem to be affected by it for some weird reason.

11:18 pm

Nef

Aww, that's so sweet to hear that you had a good nurse. (Did you know it's Nurses Week right now?)

11:18 pm

firefly779

It sure caught me off guard! I didn't understand, I just felt dizzy and then vomited. When they explained it, it made sense, and luckily it was a fleeting case.

11:20 pm

Nef

LOL! I've been an RN for nearly 50 years now (but had to quit back in 2013 due tooth my health & my hubby's) And in all those years I've never been able to tolerate vomit.

11:20 pm

firefly779

I didn't know it was nurses week. Good nurses make patients feel at home, and like people, not just bodies with numbers on them. I make darn sure to thank the ones that earn it. I do my best to be a good patient, but it's tough when feeling so poorly sometimes.

11:20 pm

Onpaki

hello, i have a missing il6. can anyone help?

11:21 pm

firefly779

Haha, you couldn't tolerate vomiting patients? That'd be tough! I can't tolerate it in myself at all, but I've held the hair of my daughters plenty and don't flinch a bit.

11:21 pm

firefly779

Onpaki - I only have the one that's "the most sick"

11:22 pm

Nef

and I don't have an il 6 yet (thanks for that 1, firefly)

11:23 pm

firefly779

the other il6 comes after that one, as shown on Lickety's

11:23 pm

firefly779

and probably has a plural as there's an il7 right after

11:24 pm

Nef

Il 6= sick + not heavy

11:25 pm

firefly779

aha! good one Nef

11:25 pm

firefly779

and the plural then works too

11:28 pm

Nef

firefly, the thing about working in ICU, we had mo4/5 of our patients were intubated & on breathing machines. I'd explain to my patients that if they felt nauseous, I could give them medicine to get rid of the nausea, but if they threw up I probably would join them. ;-)
Not many of them liked that idea...

11:28 pm

Nef

yep

11:29 pm

Nef

(I need to go check my laundry, BBS.

11:29 pm

firefly779

Oh my! I had so many anti nausea meds once, and not one helped. Fentanyl just doesn't agree with me!

11:30 pm

firefly779

I must be off myself, bedtime. Nice chatting!

11:35 pm

Nef

Back. Niters, Firefly!
